Yes its 2.6.32 vs 3.0

I recieve many requests to release 3.0 kernel and to improve. But as already Harsh is working on 3.0 kernel seriously, i dont think its necessity for me, although i will release one 3.0 kernel ,but no updates then as Harsh kernel is already very nice:) and i dont want to work on 3.0 as of now:)
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Yes obviously:)

One positive from me :)

Batery life is GREAT.

With normal use. wifi/3g always on, some gaming and browsing, calls and sms + couple of accounts on imo.

Batery is 3/4 empty after whole day.

Never had this on cm9.

Thanks again

For me the RC1 works great .. the phone runs smooth , no BSOD whatsoever .. tomorrow it will be tested under daily circumstances :D
[LG Optimus 2x] rudous:
For me it works without any problem. Seems to great battery life. Only after long inactivity (deep sleep) wifi doesn't reconect by itself. I have to switch it off and on again. It happens on all kernels btw. Am I alone with this or anyone knows how to fix it...?
[LG Optimus 2x] Thief777:
I confirm...
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Yes i figured this out, no urgent need to have you on 3.0.

Just to remind to people there are fewer differences between 2.6 and 3.0 kernels than the numbers could suggest.

Linus Torwald decided that it was time to jump to 3.0 and stop 2.x kernels. So there is no 2.7 or 2.8 kernel. Just a naming convention.

So we need to turn bass boost and virtualizer to full? Than test with music player?

Sound and bass is distorted for me...

And it seems that reboot to recovery doesn't work (shuts the phone down). Reboot works fine.

Edit: Posted in wrong thread. Sorry!
[LG Optimus 2x] Thief777:
Sound - is the subjective opinion of everyone here is difficult to recommend. I myself like the player n7player - he has a great equalizer and bass feature works well. I did not like the recommendations Spica - the sound of a synthetic, no saturation! And no little importance is the headphones!

I was listening through phone speaker, maybe that was problem (origin of distortion).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Streetman:
I'm thinking the official version of ICS from Tmo is going to be ICS with extra filling (bloatware) that I couldn't give a crap about...and take forever. Am I right?

I really don't want to go back to rooting (first experience was a Behold II), but I'm willing to if I can do it more easily now, and find a ROM that is nearly stock, sans bloatware.

Oh, and give me the stock Android Calendar, that's all.

Shoot. Rereading this, I think root is a must. Can someone give me a quick and easy 1-2-3 and the most STABLE (closest to stock Android) ICS ROM to date? I just want a daily use phone without all the crap software, but also no force closes, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fordstang99:
Uh oh.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Don't think we have any roms that are stock android. Most if not all of them have some sort of touchwiz due to it being a samsung.

What you probably want is to get a Galaxy Nexus and sell your T989.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djpingpong:
A quick search or a glance at our development section will show you that ICS is not available for our beloved T989 yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Streetman:
So, I'm just now learning that the ICS that was released recently is for the international version, which, apparently, doesn't have anything to do with the Tmobile S2. Is this correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ragnarok12:
That's correct
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
Rooting now is extremely easy. Follow the directions in the sticky and you can be rooted in less than 5 minutes.

Most if not all of the ROMS in the Dev section are debloated though still providing some of the useful features of touchwiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nova hands:
From what I've read, the ICS update for the international SGS2 doesn't have the look and feel of the traditional ICS. The features are there, but the UI looks more akin to what we've got now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:

Seriously. I knew this before I even got the phone. We'll get ICS roms probably when T-mobile decides to release official ICS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Streetman:
God, I am so sorry I jumped the gun and assumed that when ICS came out for the S2 that someone here would have made a ROM for Tmobile already. What the hell could I have been thinking?

For all those offended (and afflicted) by my mistake, I beg and pray for forgiveness. I hope we can find a peaceful settlement, out of court, to compensate you for having been so egregiously assaulted by the words I so carelessly, so casually slung; the bandwidth I wasted.

The problem with this statement is that you've attempted to prove a "not"...which has never been done. This has been a 2000 year old argument that keeps religion alive-people can't prove that there's NOT a god.

So, prove to me, show me exactly where you did NOT find ICS...and then prove the next place I look will not have it as well. Because after hearing all the arguments, now I think ICS is out there...somewhere. My search will continue! I will become stronger in my faith! I will continue to search, as long as it takes!

Dear god, even some users of XDA cannot forgive me, I beg of you, please forgive me for not searching eternally for Ice Cream Sandwich.

LOL I can tell you where Its not. Its not in the thread raverX3x started last night cause that has been removed. Your search shouldn't take to long though cause there is another port in the development forum. c'mon ICS on the T989 is so 28 seconds ago :)

ICS is here Streetman and by the way no do not wait for TMo it has there crap plus Samsungs crap which basically turn it back into GB. AOSP all the way!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OptifishPrime:
So a few days ago my galaxy s2 shut it self off and wouldn't start again. Wouldn't charge the battery, just sat there with the empty battery symbol. I by passed the battery and directly wired a cut usb cord onto the battery terminals. It worked! But now wont boot past the "Samsung Galaxy s2" white on black logo screen. I have reflashed the PDF, PHONE, and CSC though odin with 10 different files I found around these forms and across the internet. Nothing made any difference and it still sticks on the logo screen. Anything else I could try before sending it away? :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OptifishPrime:
Also I never installed any custom ROM or firmware on it, it was totally stock. I am also with Bell in Canada if that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you've already tried flashing stock firmware via Odin, probably not. Does it successfully flash in Odin, I.E do you get the green pass box & the phone auto reboot ? If not, copy/paste (or type) the details from the 'message' section in Odin when it's doing the flash here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OptifishPrime:
Yep every time I have done it it has said passed and my phone has restarted.

I followed this thread,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458,

And did everything including flashing the bootloader, except using the .pit and re-partitioning because I'm afraid I will hard brick it, but it still had the same result. Won't boot past logo and wont go into recovery only download.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Why did you flash the bootloader ? You don't normally do that save for very specific situations.

OK. So you followed that guide using files from Samfirmware. I have absolutely no idea about files from that site or how they work/what to do with them as I've flashed anything from that site & doubt I would.

Given you can still get into download mode, only thing I can suggest is to download a stock rom from Intratech's thread from here & flash in PDA section of Odin if links work, if not, download stock firmware for your carrier/country with the PC version of Checkfus & flash that in the PDA section of Odin. In both cases, only one file and no mucking around.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OptifishPrime:
I flashed the bootloader because that very official looking guide told me to lol

"Have you done everything correctly until now? Then...

Congratulations on recovering your phone!

You deserve some cake afterwards, and some rest

Now, if your problem is the NAND rw coruption, and wasn't fixed by the above fix, then follow these steps :

5) Download the Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning

6) Successful? Nice, hope is still present.

7) Flash the recovery package, following steps 1-4 This should fix your issue. If it does not, then :

WARNING : FLASHING A BOOTLOADER IS DANGEROUS. FLASH WITH EXTREME CAUTION.

8) Download the Bootloader. Flash it as PDA or Bootloader in ODIN. Without ticking Re-Partitioning

9) Flash the Kernel, as in step 5

10) Flash the recovery package, like in steps 1-4 And that will fix any of your issues

I hope that this guide was helpful, and if it was, hit the thanks button! "

Because my phone did not get bricked by trying to use custom ROM I feel its different then everyone else's problems here. Maybe its a bad app, is there a way to hard wipe my phone from where I am? Thanks very much for responding btw.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Guides don't necessarily work the way they're supposed to is all I'll say.

No, your problem is not different to every other case like this we see here maybe 20 times a week. A bad flash/not being able to get into recovery/can get into download mode is a bad flash/not being able to get into recovery/can get into download mod.

You're not going to wipe it without getting into recovery. You could try and flash a rooted kernel that has recovery (CFRoot ?), but frankly best advice I can give you is to do what I suggested in my last post.

You're welcome :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OptifishPrime:
Ok I got check fus and found the firmware for my phone. I'l try using it to flash in ODIN but it does't seem like it will be any different then the other 10 firmwares I have tried
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
When you flash it, make sure you're plugged into a powered/mainboard USB port on your PC, make sure Kies/it's processes aren't running in Windoze Task Manager (if they are, kill them. You need the drivers that come with Kies to use Odin, but they mess with each other if they're running @ the same time), ensure you're running Odin as admin, and use the USB cable which came with the phone if you have it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OptifishPrime:
I did exactly what you said, still stuck in bootloop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
And still can't get into recovery? Usually a full wipe will alleviate a boot loop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnwiredDroid:
If you're now in boot loop, the ROM is corrupted, think of it as a Windows loading forver. Just push a new ROM compatible to your device, I recommend stock for now, and see if it will boot normally.

I only experience boot loop once during my CM 7 installation, I reinstalled the ROM and everything works perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
You obviously did not do what I said.

I said "If you did everything and it didn't work, proceed to flash the Kernel and/or the bl".

You did 't use the .PIT and re-partition. If you use it, it'll fix the phone.

Have you flashed the kernel?

Plus, you have a soft bricked phone, period. The only different thing from others is how it happened ;)

Flash the kernel. And then the recovery package. Without the .PIT. If that doesn't work, use the .PIT.

Just a FYI : I once soft bricked my phone when flashing a stock ROM. So yeah, soft bricks happen with almost all ROMs that are messy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OptifishPrime:
I did flash the kernel and the recovery package. At this point I haven't voided the warranty and I'm scared the flashing the .pit will do so. But I guess if that's the only thing I haven't done and you say it will fix it I will. I should use the one from the recovery package right? It will work on my Bell Canada I9100M?

Happened to me yesterday. Follow this:

1. Get Siyah kernel in .tar and flash it through odin.

2. Enter recovery and go to mount. In there format /data, /system, /cache, format all. Reboot recovery.

3. Search for a wipe script in xda forum ex: sgs2 rom wipe or something like that. Put it in your phone and go to recovery and install it.

4. Boot in download mode and flash latest version of stock rom downloaded from sammobile.com

Thats how I soved mine. Good luck.

Let's save the pit file flash for last.

People see "PIT" and go like "oh, I gotta flash this".

They must think it's a magic file, or something.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Forgive me for barging in, but if am correct, flashing PIT files is needed only when u have messed up the partitions on ur device, right?

Would that happen if I flash another phone's firmware, like say an i9300?:confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Yeah, corrupted nand and all.

The thing is that people just love flashing pit files, my guess is they think "new ROM, maybe it needs more room, besides I've unzipped the .rar and the pit file is there. Gotta flash that in order for the ROM to work".

And then.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestjsg:
Hi All,

here is the story, I was on MilkyS GB rom, made a ndriod backup, then flashed dark knight 2.1 then wiped , flashed DK3 w/ Semaphone. Today, I was going to flash stock JVU via Odin but while I was charging up the phone I already noticed Windows was showing error saying something like ' USB device is malfunction cannot install' , so I thought that must be a DK3 bug for not able to access to the SD card, so I did not care.

Went ahead and tried to flash Odin, sure enough Odin did not detect my phone, so did Google and found 'Gnex USB drivers' which by the way took forever to install, while waiting , I thought I might as well just go back to MilkyS GB by using the backup I have done before, so I went in recovery tried to restore, but not successful, so I went ahead and choose reboot....now I am stuck at the boot screen, pull battery, I can go into download mode , however, Odin cannot detect the phone so I still can NOT flash anything.... (just now tried all kinds of drivers I can find, CM7 USB driver, Google usb_driver_r04-windows, even installed the drivers within Andriod SDK, still can't detect the phone..)

Any suggestions ? am I out of luck ? by the way, tried installing drivers in 3 x different laptops and with different USB port on them...:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Have you tried a different USB cable? Also ensure KIES is not running & that there are no KIES processes running in the background. Make sure no other usb devices connected to the pc. I've also heard Windows 7 64bit can be the issue sometime but not sure so maybe try a windows xp pc.

Also try disabling any antivirus/firewall on the pc. I had this is issue but for me restarting pc and using a different USB port did the trick.

Should you figure out the USB issue you can't actually restore a Gingerbread backup from ICS.

You will need to get a stock rom (darky resurection should also work) and flash with ODIN. You will need a 3 file stock rom (pda,phone,csc) & 512 pit file.

From here you will need to select all files into relevant places, check repartion and run ODIN. Sometimes I've also needed to flash a second time with just the 3 files and repartition unchecked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestjsg:
thanks scubadude for your reply. Yes, tried 2 x cables, 3 x laptops and all the USB ports on the laptops, now trying on a clean XP , AV disabled PC still no go.

I know the Odin 3 file process and so on and I kind of know that I can't flash GB on top of ICS that is why I attempt to flash stock in Odin but I guess I was just impatient to wait for the stupid Samsung driver to be installed and made a stupid mistake...:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishangoyal:
I guess you have tried going back in recovery mode using the 3-button combo but that is also not working?

Odin isn't recognizing your phone but does windows recognize it? If you uninstall all samsung drivers and then try to connect your phone to PC does it ask for installation of drivers? .. if it doesn't that means your phone's usb could have become faulty.. (just speculating)

Or you can try to use Heimdall instead of Odin.. maybe that'll work for you..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorenba:
Try using Heimdall for mac or linux. It does the same as Odin with no drivers.

Also try cleaning the contacts in usb port on the phone with a small brush(this worked for me when I had similar problems).

Same happened with all my laptops featuring a intel chipset. My desktop with nVidia chipset is the only one that detected it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorenba:
Try using Heimdall for linux. The windows version depends on drivers while the linux does not need drivers.

Also try turning USB-debugging on. Some people report that this is needed for download mode, though I don't see how this can make a difference as the OS is not loaded when using download mode.

If this doesn't work I think you have a hardware problem.

EDIT: Don't use WM-ware etc for the above. I think an Ubuntu live CD will be fine.
