Thank you, I have made a manual uninstall of Social Hub and IM, because i have upgraded without Wipe Data.

Because they are still present, but no more working.

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Yes, I have got continuously the message Social Hub is stopped working and IM is no more working.

Solution was to uninstall both.

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

It means you have no CSC installed, if you did a factory reset and immediately flashed the phone without booting the old firmware first then this causes the CSC install to fail from my experience.

You need to flash the CSC or the whole firmware again.

I think that Social Hub was replaced in favor of Chat On service by Samsung but it may use some common background services. It's just my assumption not a result of any investigation.
[Galaxy S II General] kmaq:
simple method:

1. search for "CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip" from the forum, download and copy to your external SD card

2. reboot phone in stock recovery mode and flash the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip"

3. reboot the phone.

now you should have SU app. this is what i did and working fine. enjoy.
[Galaxy S II General] CrisR82:
I have no idea where people are getting the idea that this is a bug-free ROM...just take a look at the screenshots in the attachments.

Here's my own testing results:

- GO Launcher EX suffers from worse performance than ICS, and seems to cause touch-screen issues, easily noticeable in games like Contract Killer Zombies 2 or Dead Space (it keeps thinking my second finger is always moving despite that not being true, making aiming or other precision-oriented things near impossible). Removing GO Launcher EX solved the touch-screen issue.

- Adobe Flash Player (the modded for JB version from XDA) causes some really weird issue in the stock browser, where it either loads a page really slow (up to 30 seconds on 1.3MB/s WiFi) or refuses to load at all. Other browsers however worked fine, and removing Flash Player solved the issue.

- Battery life is absolutely terrible (device is always awake), as shown in the screenshots.

- Skype seems to have a startup issue and sometimes just gets stuck on the opening-load screen.

- for some reason the EMail app refuses my Google account.

Other notable things:

- no performance improvement in games (tested on multiple games from multiple publishers).

- the Camera app seems to be improved (ICS and GB had a frame-rate drop on auto-focus, this one doesn't seen to have it)

- Wallpaper is permanently set to "scroll with screen" mode (which I don't like personally) and even so, it still shows as "vertical still mode" and doesn't scroll with the home screen.

That's what I was able to find out after 1 day extensive testing.

Personally, I'm going back to ICS today, the battery issue alone is enough reason for me to do so.
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
then that's a Go Launcher Ex problem

Flash is not officially supported

It's probably a Skype bug with JB, even though I've never had problems with Skype while using the leak.

how is this a bug?

weren't you using go launcher ex?

Most of your "bugs" don't seem to be intrinsic to JB...
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Don't blame rom please for bad battery life. Have you noticed that you have permanent wakelock during whole observation period which didn't allow your phone to go to deep sleep state?. Something is draining your battery working in the background most likely. Just make some effort, install BetterBatteryStatts app, make proper dump file from the app and either analyze it by yourself or if you don't know how to do that ask for help in BBS thread.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] CrisR82:
I DID see that, yet I have nothing running in the background...however, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and I'll try something then: I'll restore the factory settings and see how long it'll last with them...though as I said, I even dissable a lot of the built-in stuff from the applications manager (been doing it since ICS) to ensure I have as less things running as possible. Also, my average battery drain on ICS when I didn't do any intensive use is roughly 5 days.

Fair point for most things, except the wallpaper one...after seeing the issues with the games and the poor performance of GO Launcher EX, I obviously uninstalled it...but here's one thing that bothers me personally: Nexus 7 doesn't have the issues with GO Launcher EX OR the ones with the games, and it's 4.1.2 aswell (at least the one I was able to test them on wasn't updated further), so I won't be so quick to dismiss those as ROM issues.

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:

I would recommend to flash a rooted kernel as tar file in PDA section of Odin.

Latest Siyah, Dorimanx and PhilZ-cwm6 work on the XWLS8 stock ROM. And Siyah + Dorimanx will root your phone automatically. (PhilZ-cwm6 kernel not when flashed as tar file in Odin AFAIK.)

Good luck !

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

AFAIK, there is no option in stock recovery for flashing a zip/update from internal sd card ... only from external sd card.

[Galaxy S II General] CrisR82:
Ok, unrooted, fully drained and re-charged the battery, re-installed the ROM to ensure factory settings, updated the built-in apps trough WiFi (3G disabled) the wakelock still present (WiFi, 3G and GPS disabled).

Definitely a ROM issue, 30 minutes - 6% battery went down on it's own.

Previous ROM I had was oddly enough, Spain FOP Android 4.0.3 (also, this ROM did NOT show up in Kies at all, manually flashed it with Odin 3.04).

Call me stupid, but something tells me this ROM is essentially the same exact thing we had in the leaked one, except with more features enabled...it's really weird to see Spain of all counties to release a new OS version first...even in ICS they took nearly 3 months to catch up...

If the answer is nope, you are not able to check if KIES show up this firmware.

In Spain as others markets are sold GS2 born for others European markets or maybe you have a branded Spain GS2.

I bought it unbranded nearly 2 years ago...switched a lot of ROMs on it though (only Samsung stock, no custom ROMs or kernels at all).

I have a ZIP of my previous ROM though, "I9100XWLPG_I9100OXXLPL_FOP.zip" if that tells you anything (it was Spain unbranded Android 4.0.3).

As you know changing firmware from others countries can lead to the CSC Inconsistency, in this condition KIES refuses to update the device.

The Spain FOP from the ROM name I posted above. but it didn't say "this device cant be updated trough Kies", it just said "There is no new update available", that's why I got confused (not to mention now it won't show up a tall on Kies).

HOWEVER, I think my issue is fixed by itself somehow...the last 4 hours, no wake-lock present...interesting...is it possible that the rooting can cause a permanent wake-lock? (before I used the SuperSU 0.96 no Busybox method by flashing it trough the stock recovery)

For those like me who entered boot loop after flashing the stock room, this is the easy steps to get out and flash it properly.

I was on CM10.1. Did full backup in recovery. Flashed the Spain FOP stock ROM 4.1.2 then phone kept rebooting with nice splash screen:laugh:

The following was what I did: (Remember, backup first!!!)

1, Use a stock ROM with separate files, not just a all in one PDA file. This one works http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918257

2, Flash it with Odin, tick Phone Bootloader Update as well, select 4 files. The PIT, PDA, Phone, CSC. After flashing, phone will reboot normally.
