[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4ck3rc1:
As Nekrosys said, the 4G variant of the Galaxy S2 has a different processor, different screen and of course the 4G modem and as such, is a very different handset.

That is why the devs here have modified ROM's that were written for the Skyrocket and i727 handsets as they are closer in hardware specs to the i9210T.

Hope that clarifies it :)

On a second note, I have been using Embryo 5.0 with Dreamkernel for a while now and have had next to no problems. It runs very stable and gives a better score in Quadrant Standard than the stock GB ROM.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of an AOSP/AOKP based ROM for the i9210T, hope it comes soon, but I understand good things take :)

Well guess what people. I've tried every possible fix for my phone on 2 different computers, now no matter what, Odin mode blue screens my computer whenever it's plugged in :( so unfortunately I'm out until I can fix this.

Anyone noticed high usage of memory on ICS compared to GB?

Regards,

Scott
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4ck3rc1:
I haven't paid much attention to the memory usage, but the performance is definitely better using ICS than GB. The Quadrant Standard score is a couple hundred higher with ICS also.

I think it's about the same for me. But this is going from stock (Telstra) GB to ICS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4ck3rc1:

Seems alot higher for me on ICS with on average 500-550mb memory used, where as GB was 300-450 both with having Go Launcher installed.

Anyone else?

Just to say, Go Launcher is the way to go. I shrunk my fonts and icons to the minimum and how clean does it look now without those obtrusively giant stock icons.

u can not compare memory management of Gingerbread with ICS

ics seems to reserve a bit more memory then GB does but that does not mean that it uses this memory

I'm the one with cm9 on my I9210t

Working, mostly
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
Already? Awesome!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjm374:
Apart from the lack of camera cm9 is great so far.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
Do tell us how you did it!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:
Well atm its too early to be able to report on it

But initial reports are, its fast. Very

Not many stability issues
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:
Well, I set it to finish charging, got it off charge last night at midnight before i went to bed

Got up this morning, and keep in mind I run Easy Battery Saver as well, checked the percentage left, it was @ 94%

So what I will be doing today is a Idle Usage test, I'll post results by the end of the day with how i have the phone configured, and what % of battery it stays at while idle

Then tomorrow will be 3G+ testing (No 4G in this ROM atm), seeing how much the phone can handle general day to day usage for me. I don't use BT/NFC/Wireless a lot, so it won't take those into account, just standard usage
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:
*Raises his hand*

See I did do something useful

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

Actually my I9210T was the first one to ever boot CM10

Gunna see how much it takes to break it atm, I've got it fairly highly strung too

Will let you all know

** FOR REFERENCE **

The main bug/s we know of atm, are categorised below, either as a known bug affecting both roms, or ones which affect certain builds:

CM9/CM10

Phone stuck on 4G, unable to run in 3G preferred or only, but will run in 2G. NFC Not always able to be switched off

CM9

No Camera (Works in CM10)

CM10

To be determined

TWRP

USB Host File Transfer Does Not work (yet)

So if you want to know or report extra bugs with it, post it in the thread, and we will add it to this post, so we have a centralised point for all known issues

If you spam the thread, with useless garbage, unless looking in this post first for known bugs, you WILL be ignored
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjm374:
I'd go straight for JellyBean. For me it seems to have less faults than ICS.

The camera is working beautifully in Jellybean and I got one of my highest ever DL speeds with this ROM.

Now that we have working ICS and Jellybean ROMs don't you think they should be given their own thread?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
Can I ask what the twrp recovery is?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkris:
I'm about to try the CM10, but firstly just wondering, and yes may be stupid question, which kernal do I use ? Dreamkernal or the CyanogenMOD Kernal ? Or am I having a blonde moment...

Nutterpc - please let us know if you manage to break it :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millers:
use the kernel that comes with it. no need to flash anything else (except gapps) after you flash the CM10 rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
Flashed CM10 on my handset. Overall, an excellent upgrade.

I'm having a slight issue (although nothing too inconvenient) where I can't seem to turn my NFC off. If I try to uncheck the NFC box under Settings > Wireless and Network it just greys out and doesn't change from there (unless my screen rotates or anything happens to my handset, then it just remains checked).

I've also had the screen 'flicker' just slightly if I press the Menu key. Not a big issue, it's only for a very split second and it doesn't affect anything at all, just one of those things.

Sometimes the capacitive buttons 'light up', sometimes they don't. Although it's a Samsung handset so it doesn't really matter at all (the capacitive buttons are easy as all hell to find).

That's just my findings so far on this system, although there's nothing really phone-breaking there.

EDIT: For some reason my NFC issue's resolved (temporarily?)

Still occasionally getting the odd little screen 'flicker' during some actions (like opening a menu and such). Not a big problem however. Doesn't affect how I'd normally use my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:
I will update the post of known issues as soon as I find some more or they are reported in this thread

Also I'm finding this rom once you get it setup, is surprisingly speedy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjm374:
Nekrosys - did you flash the TWRP recovery first?.

I also have a similar issue with NFC. I can switch it off but it keeps turning itself back on again.

In the setting there are some options for when the capacitive buttons light up. Maybe try that...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
Yep. Flashed the TWRP recovery first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunchbox201:
Ah man i am so llooking forward to getting my phone back and try out these new rom's. Local shop said should be here early this week, so fingers crossed.

I'm jealous of you all ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
Hey all,

I will say this is my first time installing a ROM, or anything of the like. But I really want to give these a go, I've spent the good part of 4 hours trying to get these working to no avail. I've tried both TWRP and clockwork to install both CM9 and CM10 and yet I'm getting stuck in a bootloop. I've got backups so it's not urgent. Just thinking I've missed something simple, would love to get this working.

Cheers for all your hard work guys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
hey did you remember to wipe data/cache and things like that? That in my experience is what usually gets me. Just start the while process again but wipe data and cache before you start and then again before you reboot.

Also, sometimes it will appear to loop when what it is actually doing is loading, so give it some time. If this isn't it then feel free to ask for help :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
Hey thanks Fedelrick, I did wipe the data/cache. I did it again just now to be doubly sure. I wiped before I installed, but I only cleared the cache after, as I assumed the data folder would have the information I just installed on it, would it not? I've let it sit on the boot screen for about 20 mins, I don't think it's coming out anytime soon haha.

I did use Clockwork this time though, I had issues with formatting the cache in the other recovery, it would just lock up where as the clockwork one would format the folder in 2 seconds flat.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millers:
for interest sake, try installing the SkyICS rom then Dream Kernel and see if that boots. I'm not sure if anyone has gone from stock straight to CM9/10 yet. I don't see why it wouldn't work, although the first time I flashed an ICS rom onto these phones (have done two now) they looped a few times and generally played up for a while before booting.

The latest one I did refused to boot Embryo so I went to SkyICS and it worked after its normal hissy fit then I flashed Embryo back on and it booted fine. Maybe SkyICS has something else with it that CM9/10 aren't doing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utacka:
To the devs making cm10 work on s2 lte, I have this phone too but currently just gathering dust at home since lack of ics kernel/drivers/whatever update.

Im building paranoidandroid for 2 phones already from source and if you could have a dialog with me via PM on how I can make PA work on our forgotten phone I could start builds with latest changes for gt-i9210 too and maintain it, just for this small community since I will no longer be using that phone.

Oh and if skyrocket PA works with your kernel without issue then there is no reason for me to get involved right? :)

if it stucks on the CyanogenMod Bootanimation that usaly means it can not create the dalvik-cache wich further means that it can not write to /cache

u should format cache in recovery and check that it is clean of errors etc

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
Hmmmm, try Millers and tullustus fix first and see if that fixed it. But if not, In the past I have had roms that keep the data and cache and stuff even after a single wipe, so try multiple? Oh and data is just the user data and stuff that is installed on the phone :) not the rom

Edit: just remembered and experience I had a while back. I was going straight from stock to cm7, and it would boot loop. The problem I found was the gapps. The solution was to wipe data cache, flash ROM, wipe data cache reboot, run ROM for a while, flash gaps.

Hi Guys,

Im just wanting to clear a few things up.

1. Do i need to update to TWRP Recovery 2.2 from DreamRecovery before i can flash CyanogenMOD 10 JellyBean?

2. Do i need to install the DreamKernal after flashing CyanogenMOD 10 JellyBean?

Regards,

Scott
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
No dream kernel, the kernels are in the roms :) (thank God)... And I'm assuming but I'm not sure, that twrp is an alternate recovery so you don't need it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
So that screen 'flickering' issue I was having last night on CM10 (while opening some menus and such) - I've found a temporary fix to in the Developer Options menu in the phone Settings.

Checking the "Disable HW overlays" box in Developer Options seems to fix it for the time being. I've yet to see how this affects my battery life however.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:

Thanks Fedelrick, much difference in the twrp compared to Tall's CWM?

Any benefits upgrading Recovery to this?

Regards,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjm374:
TWRP recovery is very different to CWM. It is visually very different and offers a lot more, for example you can compress your backups so they don't take up so much space, you can select what to backup etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
I couldn't tell you unfortunately (I'm unable to put my phone in download mode) but looking at the screen shots twrp looks allot nicer imo.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
TWRP, I feel, gives a little more information than ClockworkMod Recovery. Stuff like how much space my backups are expected to take.

Supposedly, there's also the ability to mount the device as a USB (however it seems to be not do-able on our handsets as of yet) and it's just more touch oriented.

Just going by what I've seen so far after using both.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
So far the battery's actually pretty good. I've been listening to music for about 2 hours now and it's still on 92%. Wi-Fi enabled, data disabled (since that's a habit I get into when I'm at home).

Well, it's an improvement over the stock Touchwiz GB that Samsung and Telstra provided us with.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
I'm in the process of testing all the fixes people suggested, but I wanted to point this out. When I was checking the logs I had these errors. This was using CW recovery, I have issues with using TWRP when I try and format my cache. Could be related.

E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

rm: can't remove /cache/dalvik-cache : no such file or directory

rm: can't remove /sd-ext/dalvik-cache : no such file or directory

Could that be the problem?

*Edit: I also just found that when I try and remove the checkbox of cache in TWRP when trying to mount it, the whole thing freezes. Also, in my logs as soon as I run TWRP I get "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log" and "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log" Really seems like my cache is being screwy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
Probably a dumb suggestion but have you tried re-flashing stock (can be found at SamMobile) and simply trying again? I had issues with my recovery a few days ago and that worked for me...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
I did managed to get SkyICS working, I tried then to get CM on it, with no luck. However I've lost my capacitor buttons now.

I'll give that a go, thanks!

Hey millers,

Just confirming YES, you can go from a stock rom to CM9/10 as i just did. Just got my phone back from Telstra today and first thing i did was put TWRP on via Odin, then rebooted into recovery, did the standard wipes and installed CM10 and gapps. All worked fine for me here.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
Do you flash the Dreamkernel with CyanogenMod by any chance? Because the CM ROMS already have an appropriate kernel. Just wipe, install ROM, install GApps.

I've seen this issue when trying to flash the CM ROMS for the Skyrocket with the Dreamkernel (it doesn't work - don't try) where it just won't boot. Might be an issue with that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
Seems I'm not the only one having this issue. I too managed to get SkyICS working, though by doing so I lost my menu and back buttons. But I've managed to fix that since. Still haven't been able to get CM9 or 10 working. I even tried using the darkside superwipe. For the process of fixing my buttons I got ICSmegamix working as well.

I'm just wondering did those who have successfully installed CM9 or 10 download the files from the Index Update from Tallustus?

Does it matter what recovery tool you use, i am using clockworkmod 5.0.etc cant remember exact number now.. do i need to use a updated version or the recovery tool on the download post... i didnt think it mattered.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
I would suggest that all of you try to wipe data and cache at least 3 times before and after flashing. It's rare but on some recoveries they hang even after one wipe. Hope it helps.... Now off to telstra to give them my phone.

Edit: As I said in a previous post also try it without flashing gapps as that can often cause issues.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
I just tried 4 wipes, before and after and I only installed CM, without gapps. Still no luck.

Good luck with Telstra!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
Shoot I was hoping it would work. Hmmm. I'll have a think about it and in the mean time someone might have another idea...

Have you tried installing CM9/10 with TWRP instead of CWM? Thats what i used and worked for me no issues at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imblue:
I can't say thanks enough to everyone working hard on the new ROM releases for an almost forgotten device.

I've now flashed CM10 and am absolutely loving it - Extremely stable and runs like a dream. There are bits and pieces that do not work I'm sure of that - but I have not found any except for one. The issue is that whilst in a call, increasing or decreasing the volume has no effect at all and the volume of the other person speaking will stay the same. I am quite happy with that being the only issue so far!

Keep up the great work everybody!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
Oh wow, 25 bucks to be shown how to pinch to zoom. Sure sounds like telstra.

I've tried using TWRP, however I get issues when I try and format the cache. I can wipe everything else, and then I've tried installing it, still getting stuck in a bootloop.

Did you try and do a full factory reset in GB system settings before using odin to install TWRP?Or even install stock rom in odin then install TWRP?

Sorry if you have already tried this, just trying to throw some ideas around.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
I haven't tried doing a factory reset, I shall give that a go. I did try installing the the stock rom, least I think I did. I put the m5 file that I got from sammobile and put it in the PDA section in Odin, is that the correct procedure?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunchbox201:
Yeah sounds right. Always do your wipes after every step, just then you know there is nothing lingering around.

Also try this odin that i have attached.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geotherm:
I am very keen to see how you get along NeonZenith, I have exactly the same issues as you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
I just tried using the newer version of odin and flashing TWRP (TWRP-Recovery-GTI9210T-v1.1), still getting a stall on the formatting of the cache. Which makes wiping impossible unless I use Clockwork, but clockwork that still doesn't fix my bootloop.

I also tried the factory reset, still same issue persists.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
You could try taking the kernel from the cm10 ROM and putting it in another one then flashing it... Maybe
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonZenith:
That goes over my head haha. Could you explain the process if it's not to much of a pain?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
I think you just open up cm10 with winrar or 7zip and extract the boot image. Then get the ROM you want and replace the boot image in it.
