[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
If you want to use your phone more as a phone (call, text, browsing), get the Lumia. If you want to use your phone as a phone and media center/game console, GS2. The Lumia has a smooth UI, but it doesn't even touch a hair on the GS2 in terms of power. You can't argue that the Exynos is the most powerful dual-core CPU/GPU out next to the S4 Krait.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
I'm sorry, but the GS2 is a terrible media device, the sound quality was horrid. Android for customization, WP7 for real use.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
It's not horrid. It's flat at worst, and that's without using a DSP. But since you brought up media, on the GS2, or any Android phone for that matter, you don't need to use the Zune software to sync anything, and you can download MP3s on the fly from anywhere and have them automatically show up in any media player nowhere where they are in memory.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
So can I, it's called Zune pass and it's an excellent service with no question of piracy. It also helps that it's as smooth as the rest of the OS. The GS2 music was almost inaudible by comparison.
[General Questions and Answers] ThatAzianGuy:
Personally, I have a GSII and I love it. However, you need to root it and possibly flash a custom ROM over it (like I have) to actually take full advantage of it (and get rid of that horrid TouchWiz...). Currently I have mine overclocked at around 1.7GHz and its a hell of a machine.

Also, like others have said, its great for multimedia/gaming purposes with a large screen (mine is the 4.5" version). Oh, and the 8MP camera isn't bad either :P. It plays nice with all of the Google services (naturally) and ICS looks really sleek.

However, that being said, the Lumia is also a great phone even though it comes no where near to the SGII in computing power. If you're just looking for a simple work phone for e-mails, calls, texts, etc... I'd just go with the Lumia as the SGII is more for a power user.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
Actually, I had the opposite experience. It was first phone I felt was perfect enough not to root (although it is rooted and ROM'd). It runs silky smooth. There are Android phones, and then there's the Galaxy S II. I have the Sprint Epic 4G Touch, which is the same as the i9100/i777 except for the 4.5 inch screen and notification light. It is a frickin powerhouse. Runs Shadowgun, Riptide GP, GTA III, etc totally maxed out. Audio quality (headphones) are a weakpoint, but if you're not an audiophile, it won't bother you. And if you are, just use an audio player like PowerAMP or PlayerPro with an Equalizer. When people complain about the audio quality, it's usually that it sounds flat, that's all.

Like ThatAzianGuy said, if you want simplicity, go for the Lumia 800. If you want a highly-customizable phone with expandable memory and is self-sustaining (no need for Zune software), you're gonna want the GS2 by far.

Hello all I just picked up Mr. Razr Maxx today and coming from the GNex I knew rooting wasen't gonna be easy. Well actually it was I already rooted my Razr with bootstrap but now I'm seeing that its a little more difficult to get ICS running. I noticed theres ICS utilities for windows, and I did some googling and couldn't come up with anything. I was wondering if theres a ICS utility that works for mac? Any help would be appreciated thanks

First! I awesome flashing asapppppp
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] katyl:
Interesting. Flashing now.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] twoeleven99:
cant manipulate home screens. when you long press an icon it rotates the screen instead of giving you control over moving/removing app

edit: a reboot fixed this =)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] xreflection:
Oh snaps. Will have to look at this tomorrow. Too late for me to fiddle around tonight =( Wish I checked earlier.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mentalcase:
Wow this rom flies compared to stock. Well done. Can't wait to use the browser and not have it be terribly slow.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] SirRhor:
I'm having the same problem. When I reboot it solves the issue only for a while, then it reappears. I've installed Apex Launcher thinking that it was a Trebuchet problem but it was the same.

And when I disable Auto Rotating, the whole screen goes to landscape mode, but I don't know if that is normal behavior or not.

Sent from my YP-G70
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] nam265:
I'm having this issue as well. I hope it will get fix soon. I'll stop customizing it now.

All in all this one rom is very smooth and fast.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

Another bug, if you run Camera app, the rotation is upside down. Status bar will appear on top.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ack154:
Ya, what the hell... I'm in.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Ryukeima:
Everything working great here so far. Great battery life too.

I did have the weird rotate issue when using apex or trebuchet but now I'm on go launcher HD and everything works fine.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] AnantK123:
Working fine mostly

Not working

Mic (tested in dragon go swype)

I am assuming hardware acceleration is not enabled since scrolling in the browser seems jerky

Other than nothing out of the ordinary yet. Really looking forward to this rom getting much more solid

Thanks for all the hard work

*Edited changed speaker to Mic, since I haven't checked the speaker at all.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Ryukeima:
I'm assuming you mean the mic isn't working, which I can second. My hardware acceleration is working fine I think though.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ack154:
I'll 3rd the microphone. Tried to use Viggle last night to check into a TV show and it did nothing at all. Thought it was an app problem at first, until I saw these posts.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mdubs:
Chrome beta doesn't really work either.

The browser will open but nothing ever gets displayed.

Still an awesome ROM for this tablet. Thanks guys!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nicene Nerd:
+1 for Chrome not working. And mic. Too bad, because this ROM is really great! Curious, though, can we hope to see mass storage mounting on here at any point?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] slayer621:
It's been said, but chrome beta not working is almost definitely a problem with HW codecs. Over at the Droid 3 forums, we all have this problem on custom ICS roms because of our locked bootloader. Because this bootloader ISN'T locked, it'll be easy (in comparison) to get it running.

Thanks to everyone who has already put a lot of effort into this!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mdubs:
I can't access the download from the browser that came with the last build...

The browser opens to mediafire and send like it tries to load the page but the window stays blank.

Without mass USB storage, there are limited options to get build 35 onto the device.

Is anyone else having this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mpmilestogo:
Yeah. I saw this too. Tried on my Linux laptop and it works. Would not work in dolphin HD either for me.

As far as uploading the build, I have an external SD card in the tablet and I used adb push to send it to the sd card and it worked fine.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mdubs:
Never even thought about using adb. Good call.

Now if the dang thunderstorm would quit so I didn't have to worry about losing power while the computer is turned on...
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nicene Nerd:
One other thing I forgot. The volume seemed a little bit low. It may have just been me, but I could've sworn the volume at it's max (which plugged in to earphones and other output) was lower than in the stock ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nasty64:
nycbjr, would you please post md5s for the rom and gapps files? Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mpmilestogo:
Sleep of Death perhaps

Hi. I'm on build 35 of AOKP and started noticing this happening with much more frequency. I leave the tablet alone and after some bit of time; perhaps like 3 hours it just shuts completely off or I cannot awaken it. It seems to me this happened with the original firmware on it before I rooted and put on AOKP as well. I do have it in a case and am wondering if this could lead the unit to overheating. Anyone experiencing this after not using for awhile or after charging and removing at 100% from the charger?

I'm getting a bit concerned that this may be the precursor of hardware problems since it happened on both ROMs.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ack154:
Mine seems to shut off/lock up/whatever when I leave it connected overnight to charge. I go to grab it in the morning and have to hold down the power button for something like 10 seconds to get it to turn on at all. And then it goes through the whole boot up process.

I don't recall if it did it prior to AOKP though. Just don't remember.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] xreflection:
Does sound and stuff still not work in this? I'm startign to get annoyed with apps randomly crashing in stock.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] You stole Boo Boo's Name:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ack154:
Sound works fine for me. It's the microphone that doesn't seem to work.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mpmilestogo:
Just an update to this. Not sure if it was the case or making some changes in the performance settings. I reset the performance governor to ondemand and then set the minimum clock speed to 600 instead of the 300 by default. Set also to set at boot, then rebooted. The tablet has been running now for almost 2 days minus the case and changing the above without requiring the power cycle by pressing the power button for 20 seconds or so.

Going to continue testing but this seems very promising.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] ShimaMiku:
Awesome rom!

Only two things I've noticed so far is the Wifi icon gets cut off in the corner, and when the notification bar "fades," the little indicator balls don't match to where the buttons actually are. I've attached a pic for the icon at least.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] eXiled Killah:
Go to settings, Rom control, Signal, put a check in the "hide signal bars". This shifts the icon a bit.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Benzzo:
What are you using to make these changes? SetCPU?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mpmilestogo:
I'm using the AOKP performance settings from Settings -> AOKP -> Performance I believe it is. You can set the minimum and maximum clock speeds there and set at boot. But it may have been the case not sure. At this point the tablet has been working reliably for 3 days now and I have purposefully let it sit without user intervention for up to 7 hours at a time. In the past, this would cause the sleep condition where a reboot was necessary. I also purposefully left it plugged in and fully charged over night. This used to cause the same issue but does not seem to be a problem now.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Benzzo:
I wish there was more activity on this thread. Everything must be running fine if there is so little to report on i guess...

Firefox Beta

Hi everyone. Mozilla has dropped a new firefox beta on the market or play store or whatever its called now. Seems like flash works with it and its a lot quicker. I loaded it in the Tab and its pretty nice. I cannot figure out how to import the ICS browser bookmarks into its bookmark manager. Anybody tried the new beta?

It slows down for me opening more than about 5 tabs and switching between them so you may want to periodically close the browser down completely if you experience issues on the Tab.

I'm hoping that we get Chrome Beta pretty soon. I'm spoiled I guess sharing bookmarks, session data, etc.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zencoran:
So if I'm on stock firmware, do i need to root to install this? Sorry, unfamiliar with Samsung devices.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] fillyo:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] xanthumn:
Same on build 36.

Other than this, a very stable experience.

I have not checked on the microphone, but the IR blaster is not recognized.

All told, a very smooth OS.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Benzzo:
EXTREMELY solid Rom!!! I love it! No major issues at all. Only thing i'm having a problem with is Chrome Beta is not working. I only get a white screen as a few of you have already noted.... Oh well, Back to Dolphin i guess

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Are you doing anything different in order to get this to run because i get nothing but a blank white screen?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] mpmilestogo:
Flash Working on Build 36 for anyone?

Still experiencing the problems getting pages to display like the download page for the ROM on aokp.co. Is this caused by some issue with flash displays? I tried launching the flash plugin application and it tries to go to some adobe website but nothing really happens. I have the ICS Browser+ and Opera Mobile Browser at this point but cannot seem to download directly to the tab or view any of the download links.

Anyone fixed this on the current build?

Edit Update.

The forum page for downloads at aokp.co is working for me now as well as goo.im. I think its medafire that was causing problems initially or some page like that. Perhaps I am wrong here with the flash issue? I flushed the cache for ICS Browser+ and now I can download stuff to the tablet it appears. Not sure what the problem is or was with mediafire or other download pages. Going to try some more.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] zencoran:
Alright possible bug: in accelerometer games (Mega jump, x plane, etc) the sensor seems to be tilting to the far right regardless of how I turn the tablet
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] kakazsh:
use desktop view for mediafire

Using stock Rom now, but i did notice that mediafire download link doesn't work on stock browser or chrome. Using desktop view solve the problem.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] RMXO:
anyone have issue with Youtube? It says my tablet is incompatible.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] xanthumn:
If you try to install YouTube on stock, it is still unsupported. Samsung just included it in the base ROM.

It works just fine if you side load it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] samtran0331:
As I understand it, the CM9/AOKP roms do not (yet) have functioning hardware acceleration. This is required for Chrome beta.

Chrome works on stock-based roms and kernels because there's no hw. acceleration issues in the stock.
