[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChevoJulius:
Hello guys,

I'm a new "rooter" and my English isn't really good. I think it's because I'm from Germany, not from the US or the UK^^. Atleast it isn't as good as I could find the answer to my question (I bet this sentence is wrong xD).

My problem is, that I want to use the Pure ICS Custom ROM from Spike. Until now, I only get Version 4.0 running on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 for which you need XXLP1/XXLP2. I want to run PURE ICS v7.2 oder v7.3. For v7.2 I need to get the Stock ROM of XWLP4 and for v7.3 I need to get the XWLP8 running. I tried many installation guides, but I just can't get those Stock ROMs running.

What are the requieremts to get XWLP4, XWLP7, XWLP8 (stock) running?

Thank you!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChevoJulius:
I dont have the G model.

So that mean, i can flash every firmware I want? And the carrer doesn't matter?

Because i have problems installing XXLPQ, LP4 and XWLP7 etc. I always get a bootloop and theres no way to get into recovery mode. I just get the firmwares XXLP1 and XXLP2 running. the XXLP1/2 ROMs are 4 parts (PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC) and the other i tried are only 1 part, the DPA part. is this the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baracs:
There is an LP7 rom which is euro wide - just means you cant use KIES to update :rolleyes: and you lose your carriers branded material.

I loaded the LP7 onto my UK phone and it worked perfectly - just remember to wipe your data first - this could be the problem of the bootloops.

There is also the cfkernal link to get root and cwm on your phone.

Good luck in your search for the correct answer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faseeh Rehman:
I have literally switched between 14-15 Roms,the one stood out for me is Resurection rom builds,great work by the Dev and it really is the best ICS experience,so go ahead flash the latest version :D it's stable and has the best battery flow,im using v1.4 though =D

Okay this is my question should I get the sprint Samsung galaxy nexus or wait for the rumored galaxy s3

Please comment with reasons I have my upgrade in 8 days
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
You do you man.

I'm not going to spend twenty minutes trying to convince someone to buy a phone that I personally own...for the sake of selling a product.

If you want it: Get it.

If you want to wait: Wait.

Not trying to be a jerk here, but these threads never end in any definitive answers...Might as well stick with your gut.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Exactly... At best, go to your local shop, try the device out, compare it, then decide, which you like best...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theSlack:
I will say this, and its kinda the big seller for nexus, to me...

If you flash roms, the nexus gets is updates first. Also, when the next os is released, nexus will be pretty quick to get jellybean. (If history proves anything)

Aside from that, go with your gut.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkeller96:
Thanks everyone I have decided to just get the galaxy nexus because I love rooting and flashing new roms every day!!

Hey All!

So I'm here to get a discussion going. Since i'm wondering where this is all going. Alone if i take a peek at the fan boys on htc's and on samsung's side. Freaking annoying me.

Here I am asking, does it actually matter anymore? - i'm talking performance wise here

I see people making a big fuss about which quad core phone is going to be the best. But really, does it matter anymore? I'm quite sure they're all going to be really fluid and nothing close to the phones we had a few years ago. Even dual cores seem to be really good, by good i mean i experience no stutter, or maybe once in a 'millennium'.

Recently saw this get posted http://www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-4137.php, apparently comparison of different GPU within phones. SGS 3 seems to really be topping the charts on this one.

Take your time to look at the comments: "SGS 3 WILL DESTROY EVERYONE ELSE." - OR something like that.

Haha! People acting like it's going to be huge difference?

Will that change much though? I personally believe SGS 3 will be the next powerhouse. Sure! But will that really make that much of a difference on the overall performance when compared to other quad core phones? my experience there is no game in the market right now that the One X can't run, or even the SGS 2 or perhaps any dual core processor phone, or did i miss something here?

I've got to admit, since i've had the SGS 1 for quite some time now, i've already ordered a HTC One X. Was going to go for a dual core phone instead since it seems to get the job done, but i thought since i already have the chance to get a phone of my choice for cheap, i might as well order the One X. (I know some of you might be thinking: "i would wait for the SGS 3's announcement before getting a new phone."

I don't purchase phones to play games on them, therefor I believe from a non-gamer's standpoint there will be no difference)

What do you guys think of this whole Quad core thing in the long run? I believe performance is there already, even if one or the other phone gets a higher benchmark. The results won't be visible to the eye now, will they?

What do you guys think of all this quad core hype?
[Android General] madquack:
Future phones can have a hundred cores however if an app isn't written or rewritten to take advantage of them properly then it's pointless.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] o0o.paw:
I just read on the Sony Developer site that the ICS update will not be available for those with an unlocked bootlader WTF ?

"Also, if you unlock the boot loader, you will not be able to download and install the final Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade for Xperia™ phones."

Just look for the article "ICS beta ROM now available for unlocked Xperia™ PLAY smartphones" .. it's about 3/4 down the page :?(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MrBrightside:
Good thing I unlocked via Testpoint method...

I think it could be possible that SEUS or PC Companion are checking IMEI, if the phone was unlocked via Sony...

simple relock won't do it I guess :/

But don't worry, a few days after our devs will come up with a flashable generic and prerooted rom ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
definitely.

in xda we trust :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
That is because DRM keys are lost, which are needed to use PC Companion and Update Service to update phone firmware.

It is not sure, if relocking will do the deal or not, as least not before it is released.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
Relocking with Flashtool will definitely work & also if yhu unlock BL via Testpoint Method den yhu can update via SEUS, PCC!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] metalrawk:
Dude, didn't you read when unlocking bootloader? its written in big red fonts on bootloader unlock page that you will not get further updates after unlocking.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zariin:
Officially, the bootloader can only be unlocked, that's why the warning with red letters.

Unofficially, it is possible to relock the bootloader and after that it's possible to update software again. I tested it multiple times.

The only thing You loose permanently is the DRM. Cheers!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:

Yes, you can read my tutorial, a guide is there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] triasbrata:
i think u must wait untill the original work rom from xperia team out.

and if u want test ics xperia u must unlock BL because this rom is porting rom and this is mod. so if u want u device still unlock i think u must wait..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
Always seem mildly dissapointed with the Notes screen responsiveness and panel/app movement speed. Been a while but pulled out the GSII... Both on 1.4mz...SGS2 on GB launcher Pro. Note on ICS (Stunner) Apex launcher. Both with cache and dalvik cleared w/reboot......and..

SGS2 just significantly faster opening apps, switching launcher panels etc. Screen itself on the SGSII just seems hypersensitive to the touch compared to the Note which almost requires a little bit of pressure. The Notes not 'slow' perse...but compared to simultaneous touch tests with my SGSII it seems slow. Was kind of surprised at the extent.

Guess it is what it is with larger screens huh?

I'd imagine my pre rooted Note was faster also...can't remember or compare.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
its not the size of the screen that is the issue.

its the resolution.

galaxy s2 = 800 x 480 = 384000 pixels on the screen at any given time

galaxy note = 1280 x 800 = 1024000 pixels on the screen at any given time

it has to render 2.66 times as many pixels at any given time with the same GPU. if you have any experience at all with computers, you'll know its the same thing. run need for speed shift 2 at 640x480 on max settings with a gtx580, and you'll get 300-400fps. run it at 2560x1600 on max settings with the same gtx580 and you'll get 60fps if youre lucky.

dont expect that the note can magically perform just as well at the same clock speed when it is under 166% more stress at any given time compared to the s2. its expected to be slower.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
I hear this a lot but I personally dont notice it..I have switched my ex wife,gf and her daughter all over to the SGS2 and none of them seem any faster then my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KaranKapoor:
As a matter of fact, I have a 9100 in front of me running Hydrogen ICS and it just embarrasses the Note. I love my Note but that is the truth.

EDIT - But then again, Kernel sources have been released for the S2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btentusscher:
In my opinion the Note with original rom is absolutely slower than the GS2. Flashing Stunner rom is THE solution! Pretty close to Iphone 4s experience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] asusgarb:
I admit that i would have expected my note a bit faster, but i think the resolution is the cause. Fir me the best thing to do is to wait the ics official rom, which sould ensure higher performances, ar least i hope so
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
Thanks. That's right. Appreciate.

I look forward to over clocking on ICS

Stock when released.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
My epic 4g touch running Caulkin's rom under clocked at 1ghz and undervolted still feels faster then CM9 on my note. But the note is still fast enough for me. I'm more interested in battery life then performance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KaranKapoor:
Having tested the latest Stunner release, I take back my words. The Note is on par with the S2 I have with me!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
It is also worth noting that the Note will likely have less available memory available for applications than the GS II, given that they both have 1GB RAM, and the Note's frame buffer is going to be 2.66 times the size of the GSII's frame buffer too.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alias_neo:
I have had my GS2 for almost a year now with heavy daily use, it has had every rom under the sun that is worth flashing, flashed.

Without a doubt, my new note is considerably slower but its expected, and its not slow enough to be a bother.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
note does have less free ram. on my brother's s2 running gingerbread, he averages 550mb free ram. my note running gingerbread has around 300mb free ram average. its quite noticeable when i run a beefy game, most other apps shut down and i have to wait for the desktop to reload all widgets and icons when i exit a beefy game.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alias_neo:
Thats right, with the devices side by side I see a total of almost 900MB Free/Used on the GS2 while the total on my note closer to 750MB.

One of the first things I do when rooting is to remove all the samsung apps from system that run and waste ram. Usually a good start.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
I agree. I owned a SG2 before I bought the Note and the SG2 is definitely more zippier than the Note.

But, I wouldn't exchange my Note for a SG2 anymore. I just love this beautiful, big screen !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
so you are comparing a fully optomised sgs2 against a leaked ics version of the note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
Having used an SGSII for 6 months as my daily driver , then sold it for the note I can give you my observations:

1.S2 is faster than the note ,and has more ram ,but then again the S2 was smoother than my freind's iphone4 so I guess the note being slightly slower doesn't make it bad ,but makes the S2 a phenomena ;)

2. screen colour of the S2 are better and don't have gamma corruption or black clipping as on the note.

3.the note's screen is much sharper than the S2 , and much larger.

4. Audio quality of the note is higher than the S2 , volume level of the spreaker is lower on the note though , headphones volume levels are the same or slightly higher on the note.

5.battery endurance of the note is 150% higher than the S2.

6.GPS of the note is a phenomena , and puts the S2 to shame.

Overall the note is pretty good and I can't imagine myself using a 4"smartphone again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
I really miss my Galaxy S2.

I only sold it because the headset jack wasn't working. I really should have replaced it with another S2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darkinners:
I can assure you, if you run Note with ICS stunner, your Note will be faster than SII, say as a former SII user.

when I had my SII, I was using GB Checkrom. it already much faster than stock Touchwiz setting.

When I first got my Note I felt the same with OP. why the Note is sluggish compare to my old SII but now I am with ICS stunner.

my Note just as fast as my old SII, if not faster
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nianfur:
The Note has the same CPU+GPU combination, the only difference is that Samsung the dodgy bastards decided to just overclock the CPU to 1.4Ghz. I am sure there is a simple way for a SGSII user to OC their CPU to the same amount, and because of the lower resolution, the SGSII will run a darned sight better...

Samsung kinda screwed us, still the screen is nice.

The SGSIII will be a similar "Screw the consumer" situation, it will probably have the same GPU a Mali400. GPU that we know full well is inadequate at these resolutions.

Honestly, if this is how Samsung treat they're customers, including pathetic software support. HTC will most certainly take over and I welcome it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
At last had the chance today to test my Note with My friends SGSII,Both devices are Unrooted,and on GB:

1-The wake up from sleep with the Home button SGSII is almost half a second faster.

2-Evrything else,opening the applications, contacts etc.. are the same,Note even has the edge in certain applications(camera).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
This is really untrue. Running Stunner I was absolutely blown away with how fast the note was, but then I flashed ICS NexusMod to my roommate's SII and DAMN it just puts the note on an optimized Stunner to shame. And I mean the T-mobile SII actually has a faster processor than the N7000 if I'm not mistaken (1.5Ghz as opposed to 1.4Ghz) but that difference probably wouldn't even be noticeable if it weren't for, like previous posters said, the higher processor requirements of the higher resolution of the note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
T-mobile Qualcomm processor is not faster than the Exynos. You can't simply compare clock speeds
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
Not to mention leaked ICS builds for Note still limit clockspeed to 1.2GHz..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] offenberg:
Its 1.4 GHz. ..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
I fail to see how advertising something accurately is dodgy, or delivering it as advertised as "screwing the customer"..

If you are going to insult a manufacturer, the wise man would at least start from a position of applicable knowledge...and with regard to testing, screening and binning of semi-conductors, it is clear that you simply do not have a clue what you are talking about..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nianfur:
Fan boy much? Its a fact that the notes cpu is IDENTICAL (That means the same.) as the Galaxy S2's CPU. The only change is they overclocked it by 200Mhz. Oh and strange isn't it how hot the Note gets after some use... Hrm, a bit like how PC CPU's get hotter when overclocked!

Yes its screwing the customer, they advertise it as having a 1.4Ghz, not a 1.2Ghz with OC. If anything, the cpu should have been an Exynos 4212.

Still I guess the SIII will screw the user base quite a bit more than the Note did in specs.

Don't get me wrong, the screen is great. But with a below par gpu that can barely handle the resolution, and a rather warm cpu. It should have been better.

As for your blanket insult, Watch yourself, Karma is a *****.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
it will have the mali400, but due to the die shrink, they can clock it up much higher without increasing heat production.

according to the leaked GLbenchmark at 720p, it is ~50% faster than the tegra3 gpu, so i'd say thats more than adequate. plus, the reason why they stuck with the mali 400 is because most game devs have already coded for this gpu, so it retains full backwards compatibility with any existing games that have optimised versions for the galaxy s2 and galaxy note.

the other reason is more or less the same reason as why nvidia chose to release a midrange desktop GPU as the high end - its already faster than the competition meaning they can make more profit from it per wafer.

also, run antutu on your phone. the s3 already shows up in the charts, it scores around 12150 points, which puts it higher than the htc one x. no breakdown of the score is available though so we dont know the exact performance per category, but its still an impressive score.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nianfur:
Erm you do know that when companies do a dye shrink and other improvements then they give it a new name and code? Its not a mali400 when it gets those sorts of improvements, don't be naive, they just overclock it at best.

As for benchmarks... Lols.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
Mine aND my wifes SGS II are extremely snappier than my Note. I am going to wait for Official release of ICS and see if it improves. If not, SGS III will have to be the daily driver. this is worse than the Captivate in lag time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] i9100:
Mali400 is ARM's name for the gpu and they only make the blueprint. Samsung and others can make versions of it at all kinds of speeds. This is not like Qualcomm who make both the gpu blueprint and the chips and put different names on different versions of the same gpu.

This thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baracs:
Normally appears when you have a kernal rom combination that does not correspond to the phone carriers current loadout.

Is the phone absolutely stock - no flashing been done by you?

If you have not done anything and you bought it from a store take back and ask for a replacement because you cant guarantee the security of the phone.

If you have flashed it - then flash the phone provider stock rom using Odin and you should be about to update it using KIES - personally I would rather download the latest rom and flash directly with odin or mobileodin as Kies updates can take upward of 3 hours.

Check the link in the reply above it has everything you need.
