This rom has been working great for me since it came out.

Flash using PC (Odin).

Using it with Siyah kernel v6.0b4 and BVLP7 modem.

Battery usage is good without wakelock....tho I have freeze some apps.

No issue so far and smooth.
[Galaxy S II General] PolarXBoy:
Hello everyone!

I flashed XWLS8 on the day that came out. It works perfectly,no bugs,no battery drain. One thing that bothers me is that when I open the dialer it hangs for 1-2seconds. Does anyone have this 1-2second timeout?
[Galaxy S II General] d1rX:
no brick bug, you can wipe safely

So, I've decided to load this myself on stock ICS 4.0.4. I was skeptical -- read too many bad opinions about this ROM. Was running LSJ, but was disappointed with battery life, lock-screen lag and so on so I rolled back to 4.0.4.

Note about network lock. Upon loading LSJ, I've had IMEI issues (efs got forked) plus my phone got simlocked. Used GalaxSimUnlock (paid, great app btw, well worth it). Thought it'd have to use the app again for LS8 -- but I didn't. No network lock, no IMEI issues.

-flashed with odin (1 file)

-no lock-screen lag, no FCs

-wipe / factory reset (thought it'd format my internal memory but it didn't)

-phone seemed warmer than normal and consumed battery fast

-froze couple of system apps (no media scanner running?), disabled bloatware (do not freeze Media Storage, sound settings and other apps using it will FC)

-flashed PhilZ kernel w/root, phone's got normal temp now

-battery seems more stable, enabled power-savings mode (will comment on it after ~2 cycles, so far I think it's 10-15% worse than ICS 4.0.4)

-ROM is uber-fast for me, much faster than ICS

Waiting for XEO so I can wipe the whole phone and start fresh.

If you have battery drain on media. follow the link on my signature. Doesn't require root or any freezing..
[Galaxy S II General] damian5700:
No issues whatsoever with LS8 before I installed Google Now. After that a serious battery drain.

In more than one and a half year I have never see the battery of my phone reach 0%. So I decided to remove Google search updates (and some Maps services) and now BBS tells me there isn't a NetworkLocationLocater wakelock anymore.

This story's morality; in some cases (eg my case) is worth considering whether you really need Now Google in relation to your battery life.

Thank you.

Failure to boot

I was pretty pleased with LS8, battery and all, until the phone locked up and I had to force a reboot. Now I can't get passed the SGS2 loading screen. Tried all the simple fixes like clearing caches and fixing permissions from CWM. Even re-installed the ROM in question (Omega 19.1) (without wiping this time) but to no avail. I could do a full wipe I guess but why bother since the lockup will just happen all over again and even with backups it takes a few days to get everything set up again.

Anyone else having similar issues with LS8?
[Galaxy S II General] Splin-ru:
Had this bug twice, several hours after ROM setup, first time i turned phone off and it didn't turned on then. Reflashed with wipes, installed all stuff, passed 3-4 hours, then again - watching youtube surprisingly phone hangs up and don't load after battery pull off.

As i see it, it's some kind of a problem with deodexed ROM (maybe some custom ones), some guys here described similar issue with it.

After that i flashed stock one via odin and since then got no problems.

Wipe out the cache folder (empty) and copy it to DCIM folder in External SD card. You'll get exactly the same 2 folders,

one empty (int)

and

one stuffed (ext)

.

Then set DCIM (

ext

[Galaxy S II General] jl10101:
I had this exact same problem, was trying to get GPS working (and was pulled over on the side of the road) and it just wouldn't work correctly. So I persisted and eventually the phone froze. Then I had to hold in the power button and turn it back on again. When I turned it on, it just got stuck at the Samsung S2 screen (before boot logo) and didn't go any further. The only way i fixed it was to wipe fully and steer far away from LS8!

Cause me 2 hours of pointless driving and aggravation!!

A realy bug in this spain JB. There is no normal way to put your favorite songs in "Settings" of Alarm clock. In ICS it was very easy over the Menue Buttons. I think Samsung don`t want it, like this way in JB.

The only way to wake you up in the morning with your favorite Songs, is to do like this.

It`s very strange this way, but it works after a reboot.

Readers and Assemblers from Samsung, don`t take good Innovations away in new releases, put them in:good:

AW: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLS8]***

It 's not important, only users with big bugs after flashing had to do this.
[Galaxy S II General] kt-Froggy:
Press Home + Power at the same time (do NOT hold the one and then press the other), and hold it for a sec. Works just fine.
[Galaxy S II General] Don MC:
Not strange at all. I think it's always been this way. You can create an 'alarms' folder anywhere you wish. For instance in the root directory of your external SD and copy your songs there. Then reboot. Same with 'notifications' and 'ringtones'. Not a JB bug.
[Galaxy S II General] manganel:

[Galaxy S II General] :
Yeah i noticed that when i released first alpha of the nexus port
[Galaxy S II General] AvRS:
Only downside to releasing anything is it will increase new people who aren't up to a certain level of understanding will flash it then fill the respective thread(s) with useless posts complaining. If devs are interested in jumping on board then there is an irc channel which is being used to discuss development. Once it's close to being usable (beta) then it could be uploaded for the masses.

Maybe worth sticking the irc channel address in the OP of both this and the dev thread so other devs know where the real discussions are happening?
[Galaxy S II General] screamworks:
This. Dear god, this. It happens with every release.

Developer(s) feel generous, release a clearly marked alpha build simply to demonstrate they've got something in the works.

Username John Derp goes ahead and flashes said build. Device refuses to boot/crashes at startup/a million different problems.

John Derp creates a new thead/hijacks other threads demanding someone helps walk him through every step.

Finally after many flamings and a lot of abuse, someone helps John Derp.

John Derp complains that the build is unstable, and goes back to a stable ROM.

Repeat this for dozens if not hundreds of users.

...and then, the developer(s) either stop releasing public builds until they have a daily-driver level release, or possibly even halt work altogether.

[Galaxy S II General] screamworks:
You do understand the gravity of a difference in device chipsets, right? It's not something simple (neither is audio for that matter, but comparatively it's a non-issue) that requires a few line changes in an XML file -- it's a lot of work.

As per the standard response of most developers, the ETA is as follows: it's ready when it's ready :angel:

[Galaxy S II General] RootMana:
You are right, your way works, but in ICS you can go direct over the alarm settings menue to your favourite songs and pick them, in JB you have to create a folder than copy your songs, than you have to reboot, and then you can pick them in alarm settings:(

Sorry but that`s no Innovation, that`s regression.
[Galaxy S II General] kt-Froggy:
Yep. Pretty standard, been like that in GB and ICS. Don't even need to reboot, it seems to be dynamic. I have always been putting my own ringtones into the "ringtones" folder on an SD card...

Besides, in the Alarm settings there is an option to select any sound, anywhere in your filesystem ("Add" button on the screenshot).

Thanks! That solved the issue temporarily (until it comes back at least). Like you said, I did a backup from CWM, then wiped and did a full restore. Tried doing advanced restore of boot and system without wiping to save some time but it didn't work. Now the phone boots again. The only odd thing was the lock screen wallpaper which returned to the default picture.

Hopefully someone will fix the boot lockup issue soon. And look into the freezes which usually cause the reboots and lead to the lockups in the first place.
