??????????????

Maybee I'm totaly wrong, iff one has an unbranded, simlock free S2, than you can flash to I9100XXLPQ no matter where you live in europe, or I'm I just lucky it workt fore me from the beginning? It has all the european languages so why is every one from the UK dissapointed?

I would just flash that ROM and stop complaining :p

Am I just stupid to think like that?

Let me know :)
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
thats been my theory - ive been on lpq with no problems - but some people want the phone regionalised...i suppose
[Galaxy S II General] Drutt:
LPQ looks good so far. Very snappy. :)

Google Play and Chat have been added, but I'm not going to use them.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Because many of us want the firmware that is specific to our phones without having to void our warranties or risk flashing (not all of us are competent in this) and ruining our phones.

hearing about lp7 i might as well flash it and see what i get - been on lpq with no problems...but oh well always worth trying
[Galaxy S II General] jeffbong:
i have terrible battery drain on both lpq and lp7
[Galaxy S II General] Kronkels:
don't worry be happy

As far as I'm told samsung warenty will still be ok after flashing, as they them selves are ok whit customising ROMS

Not that long a go I was a totaly noob to, I still am, in the last few weeks Iflashed my S2 42 times according to de counter en I'm still using it ;).

On this great forum you'll find every thing about to flash your phone.

Thats how this old guy did't :D

A coupel of issues with LPQ

So i installed LPQ on a Bell/Virgin (North America) ver of the phone with a Fido sim. Everything works...well, almost everything. My WIFI hotspot

is dead. Assigns IP to my tablet/laptop/netbook, but there is no data flow. Can't load any pages. This is critical for me, as I use my phone as a hotspot for the tablet.

Also, constant Roaming icon. This is also a deal breaker because when I go to the US, I like to use the option to "disable data when roaming". Well, now that my phone is "roaming" all the time (though it actually isn't), I can't make use of this feature and have to turn off data manually.

Anybody on LPQ and Fido can chime in on this??

Thank you.

[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
i bought an unbranded htc legend back in the day so i would get updates first... then when froyo got released the unbranded was last to get it :-( think I said that earlier is all.. :-)

in fact, I got so bored with waiting for this s2 update I just broke out my old legend, hacked, bootloader unlocked, rooted and just finished installing cyanogen 7.. ill play with my shiny old legend haha...
[Galaxy S II General] koodiifin:
I'm thinking that the LP7 firmware is actually an older version of ICS then LPQ. Here's my reasons:

-It comes with the old version of swype (with blue lines) (not the new orange beta version that comes with LPQ)

-The SMS bug isn't there just like the previous ICS leak

-The touch and scrolling seems better just like the previous ICS leak

LP7 could be a small update from the previous ICS leak, and LPQ is a more updated version (which happens to have more bugs). What do you think?
[Galaxy S II General] cta102:
That's the point I was making at the time.

Now back on topic:

I'm quite worried that people are getting angry about their favoured rooting method or whatever having issues with ICS, there have been large changes to the internals of Android and it's not surprising that stuff breaks (particularly with anything more than the average consumer type app)

On a new release (especially more than a point release) start with stock and build on it and don't expect all your extras to be issue free.

If you want ultra stable don't take the first release.

Anyway I'm waiting for a branded TMO update, then from there once I will confirm how things behave before messing about.

Having been through the hell of HTC updates on the Desire and having to use alternate roms to get a version of gingerbread that was usable, I will take things gently
[Galaxy S II General] toinktoink:
possible but...

-the build date is newer.

-changelist is bigger.

just my 2 cents :)

ICS for newbee...

Hello

I am lost with all the pieces in play with ICS.

I habe a SG2 with the following:

PDA	I9100XWKI4

PHONE	I9100XXKI1

CSC	I9100CPWKH1

As the phone was purchased through my company, I think it came from UK.

My operator is Swisscom (Switzerland) and I have read today that ICS might come only in many weeks/months from Swisscom.

So my question: based on above, can I now install ICS using available stuff? If yes, which components exactly? Or do I have to wait until Swisscom decides to come with ICS support.

I habe checked the forum, but go no clear answers. Also I do not understand the 3 above components, as it seems it is currently not linked with Swisscom, so I am wondering why I should wait until Swisscom delivers something.

Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Contact names missing in SMS

Hi there all...I have flashed the I9100XXLPQ firmware on my SG S2 I9100T every thing is working smooth and well with the exception of the fact that ant incoming txts from names already in my phone book only show as the phone numbers and only out going txts sent from my phone show the names of recipients...tried all settings reinstalled contacts list but no solution.

I have used chomp & handcent sms and both show all names howerver both programs seem to send the txt messages twice, even after disabling stock messaging app in settings, so this isnt a good work around solution either.

Any one have this issue ? or have a solution....would be much appreciated

True, the only thing is that you might want to either flash a different CSC or Modem, then it is easier to have separate files. Also when you want to repartition with a PIT file, it requires a 3 file firmware, otherwise the firmware flash will fail (at least, that was the case with the Samsung Galaxy S).

I am currently uploading here http://min.us/mw9tEOg8H a .rar that contains

-Odin3-v1-1.85

-I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 (the one file you need to flash in ODIN)

-CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar (the other file to flash in ODIN)

This gives you all the files in the same place

1. unRAR files

2. put phone in download mode

3. Open ODIN

4. In ODIN select PDA and select "I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5"

5. Ensure that repartition isnt ticked ( All I had ticked was "Auto-Reboot" and "F.Reset Time"- click start )

6. phone will restart, and may take longer than usual to boot up.

This is non-wipe, if you're on stock ROM - your applications and settings should stay the same

Repeat process and flash CF_Root instead​

This rom is quite good regarding the batter life but it has some bugs.

From time to time my phone just stops responding and after 10-20 seconds it returns to normal. Also I suspect there is a slight problem with the GPS (at least on my phone it's not as accurate as it was with 2.3.6). You can see other minor bugs but I guess they'll be fixed in the next releases...

For now I'm sticking with the cyanogenmod 9.0 nightly - my battery life is AMAZING!

[Galaxy S II General] jaboon:
just wanna throw my 2 cents in, I've got a UK Unbranded SG2 and flashed LPQ last Thursday/Friday, along with CF-Root. I didn't do the clean wipe on my phone, just backed up everything with Titanium Pro and restored after I flashed. Battery is lasting just as long as GB, at least 2 days.

The only issues I've noticed so far are that Facebook pictures aren't showing up for my contacts, only Google+ ones and also I'm suffering from the double sending of texts when using third-party sms apps (GoSMS), so sticking to stock app for now. I did have issues with Titanium Pro not being able to unfreeze apps, however the developer updated the app shortly after which fixed the issue. Waiting for the unbranded UK rom to be released.

Also I used Triangle Away to reset my counter and get rid of the yellow triangle, no jig needed :D
[Galaxy S II General] RobinHoodSnr:
What are you guys's ideas...Is this the ORIGINAL OFFICIAL release...or not?
[Galaxy S II General] emilperijoc:
Hi guys, noob here, so please bare with me,

I have a galaxy S2, which was running android 2.3.5, XXKI4, and i can't update the os via Kies, therefore I flashed with odin the last version that I downloaded here.

The issue is that I can't lock my screen, for example if I push the power button , the screen goes black as it suppose to do, but if I press it again or home button, it brings me to where I has before without having the option to unblock the screen, I tried with all the screen lock option with no success.

Another problem is if I push for long then 1 sec it powers off directly.

Another thing is that i can't take a screen shot.

I'm sure that these three issue are connected.

Any ideas?

I tried with both XXLPQ and XXLP7 it makes no difference. Otherwise it works great as afar as manage to test it.

Thank you very much.

Been running XXLPQ for a couple of days now. No real complaints apart from the wifi getting stuck when I tried to enable it. Battery life seems about the same, maybe slightly better.

Sent a PNG screenshot to a friend via SMS and it looked horribly pixellated and bad quality like it was converted to JPG, not something that I had a problem with in Gingerbread.

It seems they updated the music player too, so now I don't miss the first second of each song (happened with 448kbps AAC files I encoded myself). The downside though is that the software looks at the artist tags rather than album artist, so it means I've got a bunch of random artists now like 2pac, 2Pac feat blahblahblah etc. Gonna have to re-tag them.

Dissapointed that it looks so much like Gingerbread. I hope Samsung update touchwiz to show off ICS.
