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

That you flash a rom doesn't mean that comes with root, the best way to know is to install root checker from Google Play. Official roms never come rooted of course and custom roms most of them.

To see what kernel you are using go to Settings - About. If you flashed PhilZ you should have it, but flashing a kernel from Odin doesn't install root.
[Galaxy S II General] Apoorva Mishra:
Thanks for the reply.

Using the method I mentioned above, I rooted my phones (root checker confirms it).

My question was different. Did rooting using Philz's method install the Philz kernel instead of the Samsung kernel??

My about device reads thus:

3.0.31-816988 dpi@DELL66#3

SMP PREEMPT MON Jan 14

it clearly shows the default Samsung kernel that came with the firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] scandiun:
Re: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLS8]***

You used Philz kernel inside clockworkmod to root, but not to install the kernel itself. Look what the original post days: Safe Stock Based Kernel

You did indeed something like CF-root, rooting without custom kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] tomashokenberi:
Одг: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLS8]***

Philz kernel is stock based. When you install it you wont see any change in kernel info.

P.S: I already have I9100 Official ICS (4.0.3).
[Galaxy S II General] Apoorva Mishra:
Thanks so much for the reply. This makes sense.

But I landed myself in a sweet mess.

I enabled talkback option i settings. Now, I cannot disable it because I cannot scroll down in settings page. Any work arounds for that or I need to flash via ODIN all over again?

Found the answer - To scroll down the list on any page (while talkback is on), select the tab (e.g. settings while on settings page, by one finger touch) AND use two fingers from top downwards or reverse to scroll down the list, until Talkback appears. Then, navigate with one finger and disable it.

LEAP WiFi does not work with LS8

I found that Cisco LEAP WiFi connections stop working once upgraded to LS8. It used to work fine with LSJ.

I was able to resolve that by rooting the phone and overwriting the files present in '/etc/wifi'' with a backup of LSJ version of files from '/etc/wifi'.

Battery life is great here, all stock with root, really like the stock experience in this rom!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr Anderson:
Be fair, we know that there are issues with this ROM that require careful management. Once managed the battery life is tolerable, but it is still a bit of a drain for some users relative to ICS.

If one has to disable features in order to prevent excessive drain then that is the sign of a ROM that needs improvement. I mean, what is the point in having a device where some of the functionality is not usable because there isn't enough power to run it?

Incidentally, I take back what I said a few pages back about Rescan Media Root. I was mistakenly thinking it stopped the Android Media Process from starting and hence I assumed it wasn't working. What it actually seems to do is to prevent the media scan from starting although the process is running in background.

[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
I am being fair, ICS sucked for me and for many others (that's an all-around suck).

Only apps frozen or disable are the usual suspects (social hub, samsung apps, mini diary, yahoo finance, koboo and all that crap).

Google now is on, don't use it much tho.

JB leak was awesome too, hard to tell which one is better.

I tried something today, I was suspicious about something draining after I make/recieve some calls, like 2 % in 1/2 hour, set airplane mode when I was at 12% (4h 42mins screen, all with wifi on, 2 bars, sometimes 1 or none), 5 hours later, woke up and there it was, stucked at 12%. Maybe a Modem issue, maybe signal is poor here in my room.

About rescan media root, I've heard things about that, still think it's totally unacceptable to run an app to stop a process once I boot.

I have an Stock Android phone, not an iPHONE nor a very unstable custom ROM.

Ls8 stable for daily use

Hi, just to dispel your fears. I and so many others have been using XXLS8 without any problems since the day it was leaked. There are no bugs which make it unusable for day to day work. Moreover, the battery life is quite decent compared to LSJ. Make sure you read the instructions for flashing carefully, make backups of your important data. You will need to go to recovery and erase data/factory reset for avoiding problems and bootloops. Have patience and go step by step. I have flashed LS8 using Odin several times now without any problems. Best of luck.

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

Maybe you need to do a factory reset, format your Data and System partitions and also your SD card after backing up your important data. You can copy your SD card to your PC and then copy back after cleaning it and formatting the SD card. If you have already done it then I suppose nothing can be done. At least I have not experienced any bootloop in LS8 and I am using it since the day it came out. Best of luck.
