Today I had a big problem with XWLS8:

The phone started lagging... and got frezed, so I force the phone to Turn off with the power button, I restarted the phone, and It got stucked at Galaxy S2 I9100 Screen.

To solve the problem I had to wipe the phone and flash again.

I tested it on another S2 without any mod, just the firmware fresh installed, I removed the battery and put It again and the same problem.

It was reported at another forum by two persons, didn't know if it was reported here, but be careful. :(

I also have some freezes(2 of them) , and then 2x boot Loop on new xwls8, but on dorimanx 7.44. Now on siyah all 6.0b4 all is good.

Xwls8 is not quite stable, and hope to see a new version here, better one. Latest Ukrainian was awesome.

They introduce in latest xwls8 and lsj a new swype that send data to an third party, pay attention to his.

Now I'm on SwiftKey, even if it use a lot of memory.....

[Galaxy S II General] CrisR82:
Actually, I've been doing some pretty serious testing on XWLS8 and I can safely say, it's really stable...the only 2 issues with it are the weird wallpaper mode, and that Flash Player completely screws with the OS (not a real bug, it was never meant to work to begin with).

But I can also safely say, this is not a final build...it's bug-free, but several 4.1 standard and promised features are missing.

BTW, for people with custom ROMs, you might want to go back to stock before flashing this...I believe there were similar issues with ICS back in the day.
[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
True, after few days LS8 loks ok, without noticable bugs. Does anyone noticed slower or, maybe not slower scrolling but it stops faster that 4.0.4? ;)
[Galaxy S II General] CrisR82:
That's normal from what I can tell...a friend's Galaxy Nexus seems to have that faster-stop aswell so I assume it's a JB thing.

Been using this since Friday now and i'm actually very happy with this. Yeah - it doesnt have ALL the goodies you'd expect, but it is MUCH more stable, scrolling is smoother and it looks pretty good.

couldnt care much for multi-window, but the pop-up browser - now THAT i miss.

Battery use is OK - it's a little more than before but i would have expected that till things settle down a bit.

Re: [Stock Official Firmwares] I9100XWLS8 (4.1.2) - Spain (FOP) [23-01-13]

Is you need player mini Window, use bsplayer. Scroll is not so fast in xwls8, but faster then on xwlsj.

I have 2x S2 and one S3 and I could play with them in the same time to see what is faster.

I too have a problem with battery consumption.

I could trace it to the media scanner. (it caused a wake lock for 1,5h directly after each boot)

If I forced stopped from settings/battery/media the problem seems to be gone. (until next reboot)

I have quite allot of images/videos on my sd-card, I have never removed any image/video I have taken with my phones so it is about 12Gb by now so it is not that strange that it takes a while to scan and create thumbnails...

A good tip is to use BetterBatteryStats to find wakelocks, but in this case the standard battery info solved it.

Good Luck!

Media Scanner [Report]

I have a 32 GB memory card in use and at least 25 GB of pictures, videos and music on it.

But I have no problems with the media server/scanner (don't know its name in English).

If you are experiencing problems, try to erase its data in the App-Manager an restart your phone. Yes, it will take quite a while until all media is rescanned. But after that everything should be fine. You may watch the media scan if you use an app like Cool System stats to monitor your CPU. While the media scanne is working, your CPU will stay at 1200 MHz (or your set maximum).

Leave the phone alone untill it comes back to stable 200 MHz!

You may experience problems, if you just updated the ROM without factory reset or at least cleaning the media scanner data when you have a lot of media.

i was using it for at least a day. overall performance was good. i'm just really missing the part that siyah doesn't have a proper kernel for this firmware yet. no dual booting. but for the battery drain, freezes, etc, i didn't experience them. using philz' kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] CrisR82:
Actually, I'm starting to realize that it's very likely that all the issues people have are because the ROM is flashed on top of the old one...that's how I did it the first time, then I formatted the internal SD card, wiped Data/Cache and re-installed the ROM again - not a single issue after that.

Guys I have a serious problem here.

I've tried Alliance v6, Biftor v5 & Omega 19.1. they are all based on LS8.

My problem is I cant connect to my wifi as soon as I install LS8. it gives me "Authentication error". I tried to change the modem but didnt work.

Never had this before on any base.

can anybody help ??

I'm pretty sure it's related to the base not the roms or modems or even my phone.

Re: [Stock Official Firmwares] I9100XWLS8 (4.1.2) - Spain (FOP) [23-01-13]

but it works well on LSJ base & other bases.

why only LS8 ? whats the difference between LS8 & LSJ ?!

I dont have other wifi can't try.
[Galaxy S II General] CrisR82:
Trial-and-error is what I recommend:

- Re-flash a stock XWLS8 and see if that works (in this case, it's an issue with the ROM/Modem/whatever those are)

if that fails:

- Go back to a ICS ROM and see if that solves the issue (in this case, it'll be a router issue for sure)

If both those don't solve the problem it's an issue with the phone itself, and I cant give any real help for that =/
[Galaxy S II General] khaled_7:
If I go back to LSJ roms it works fine.

I'll try some formatting & wiping things then try stock LS8.

No, it absolutely will not. You should not be looking in this forum (which is for the GT-I9100) for firmwares for your device, as there are significant hardware differences between the GT-I9100 and your model.

Re: [Stock Official Firmwares] I9100XWLS8 (4.1.2) - Spain (FOP) [23-01-13]

If you have an phone with imei code unlocked, you need to put the code again after you flash a new rom.

Same problem on note1, s2,s3.

I hate locked phones.

On xwls8, it has some stupid bugs, you start an apps that freeze, restart phone and boot Loop or freeze at Samsung logo. I can say that this rom is not finished.

when i had setup titanium backup to restore my Apps ,it said the "android ID has changed"

i ticked the restore button ,my SII restarted and stuck on boot loop -.- , i couldn't even enter the recovery mode,then i stuck on the SGSII screen

i finally managed to enter the download mode to re-flash the stock JB Rom again , and finally it rebooted and worked normal even after rooting

but the real Qs. are :

1-what's Android ID ?

2-How did titanium know my last Android ID ?

any answer will be appreciated
[Galaxy S II General] CrisR82:
The wallpaper IS broken actually...you know how in launchers (both stock and custom) there's usually a "horizontal scroll" (moves to a different part of the wallpaper depending on which home screen you are) and "vertical still" (image doesn't mode, only the home-screens on top of it) modes? Well, here, the wallpaper selection is for horizontal-scroll, but the wallpaper mode is still set to vertical-still and you cant change it.

This is actually really annoying, since I for example have a wallpaper I want to be in vertical mode, but the selection forces me to crop it, which completely ruins the quality and cuts off parts.

However, this is the only issue with the ROM as far as I can tell after 5'ish days testing. (and the unbelievably laggy Skype)
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Re: [Stock Official Firmwares] I9100XWLS8 (4.1.2) - Spain (FOP) [23-01-13]

Wallpaper scrolling is fine on apex.

Skype connects within 3 seconds or less, tested several times.

Just tell titanium to restore anyway and create a new id afterwards, but that's not necessary. Imho it's a safety feature to prevent restoring system apps on a different device.

Don't panic about the wallpaper dude. This is part of the new TouchWiz Nature theme UI as adapted from the S3 and it's cool. Gives the effect that the icons float over the background.

Battery performance for me is great so far... I had the leaked JB before an battery barely lasted 12 hours, now getting 25-30 hours on a full charge which is good enough for me.

Maybe something is keeping your phone in wake lock. You can probably try reloading once more and wiping the cache to see if it helps.
