I went to stock to CM 10 then to stock 4.1.2, then to NeatRom 4.1.2. and all of them about 3 months of use crashed, the samsung based all crashed in the well known Samsung keyboard crash(there's a workaround but I'm lasy) anyway, I have changed to carbon last week, and.. guess what, I'm going to stock 4.1.2, it just works...

I think they should spend a lot less $$ on software, provide basic functionality and that's all.. If you have an app that does not work porperly you just remove it, if you have something from samsung that does not work, you have to root the phone, go mess about some files.. what for, I end up using third party software for everything

hi guys. where could i get a 4.1.2 stock firmware to flash in cwm? thanks. im trying to bring back my phone in fresh stock samsung. thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] Jeetu:
Well if you want to falsh the official firmware for your phone then you have to flash it from Odin this is the only way. You can't flash it from CWM. CWM is only for Custom Roms.

And To diwnload official firmware go to sammobile.com

i have been using custom rom's from past 1.5 years.. but i am missing some of the default samsung apps especially radio.

can i have dual booted S2 with a custom AOKP ROM as Primary and Samsung's official 4.1.2 jelly bean firmware as Secondary ROM? ( i had tried dual boot in ICS, but never tried a custom rom with samsung's original firmware )

If so where can i find the flashable Samsung's 4.1.2 firmware?

I have already downloaded the Samsung's 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile.com But it can be installed through ODIN & this will make me lose my Root as well as custom rom.

Please guide.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK3SH:
First change your recovery to Siyah (gokhanmoral.com)....

Boot in to Siyah Recovery and Follow steps for dual booting instalation....

I don't know where else to ask this...

what all doesn't work properly in kitkat roms? Does the camera quality decrease or something like that?

I am currently using a 4.1.2 roms and looking to upgrade, can't decide if I should go for a kitkat rom or 4.1.2 rom...and any kk rom recommendations?
[Galaxy S II General] Jeetu:
Well I didnt experience such problem in kk roms. But with speed wise I like kk.

Why not check by yourself.

First make Nandriod bakcup of your rom and flash any kk rom I suggest you Neatrom slimkat 4.4.2 , biftor slimkat 4.4.2 . Flash them and Check by yourself to fell the experience of kk roms :)

Using S2 (Android 4.1.2. Stock Rom)
[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
I've used a few official CM11 nightlies.

And these were basically the main issues - No zoom in video recording & music playback gets stuck after sometime for some reason (usually if it's on your sd card). That's it.

Check your battery first, if it's swollen then time for a replacement.

If not, install betterbatterystats and check what's draining the juice.

Registration to mobile network failed

=================

Samsung Galaxy SII

PDA: I9100XWLSD

PHONE: I9100XXLS8

CSC: I9100DBTLS7

Kernel: 3.0.31-889555dpi@DELL228 #3 SMP PREEMPT (STOCK)

ROM: STOCK

NOT ROOTED

================

After updating my SGS2 to JB 4.1.2 (over the air) I have the following problems:

1) IF Lock SIM card is activated (Settings – Security – Set up SIM card lock) my phone cannot register to the mobile network (T-mobile Austria). After unlocking SIM card, it immediately gets registered to the mobile network.

2) A software update (over the air) does not work anymore.

I have decided to do the following steps:

1) Get root access to back up ROM with Nandroid

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/04-12-2012-universal-rooting-phones-rom-t1746794

2) get stock ROM (JB 4.1.2)

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=123279

3) flash stock ROM with Odin

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-guide-to-galaxy-s-ii-android-04-10-t1125282

It would be nice if someone could confirm my approach or give comments. I know root acces is not necessary in order to flash a ROM, but I like to have it rooted for further customizations. I have been reading the forums, but still have no experiences with flashing etc.

cheers
[Galaxy S II General] JavaScout:
I'm pretty sure, that you should root on step 4, not step 1.

[Galaxy S II General] pangiotis24:
can someone tell me which files i need to copy on cm9 to have JB keyboard?
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
I ported it to the S2 today (thanks to the Hacksung guys for their assistance), but there is a dependency loop between the EGL libs... That means I cannot get surfaceflinger running, since to satisfy the dependencies, I need both the CM9 AND new 4.1 libs at the same time...

But yeah, if I had some sensible graphics libs, it should be possible to run it...
[Galaxy S II General] matabillions:
Awesome! And great to see you and Team Hacksung on the project! :victory:

EDIT: Do you think that there is a way to 'merge' the libs without sources?

Wait... it's not a project... Time to wait for sources :)
[Galaxy S II General] matabillions:

android the best

[Galaxy S II General] matabillions:
I was hoping that with CM9 being so advanced already, 4.1 would be easy to port... but these things (dependency loops etc.) just have to happen... seems like a law of nature for developers (the simpler I think my projects are, the more such things happen...).

The word project, I was using it in a vague sense, meaning it's the next thing many people on XDA will be working on...
[Galaxy S II General] julle131:
Sorry, but i have disagree with that. Huawei is much worse. They privided over 5 2.2 updates to fix simple problems, and 3 2.3 updates, which all have risk to brick or wipe imei. The phone im talking about is ideos x5/u8800.

I really think people Here need to stop complaining and *****ing about how samsung is terrible with updates and they will screw us over and don't care and bla bla... chill out... its been one friking day and your already crying about it... technically then everyone who has any phone other than a Gnexus or Nexus S should be crying too because no one has announced anything yet of who gets what... so stop cribbing about it...

Not to mention the percentage of people on xda who even use samsung stock roms isn't that big and most will be using cyanogenmod or miui or whatever else so why cry about samsung...???

Its barely been a few months since you got ICS and now whinning for JB... I think its safe to say no one is bored or sick of ICS yet.. I still love it atleast but would definately want a quick update... doesn't mean I go crazy about it ...

So Just be patient, wait for official announcements and support the developers to do whatever it is they gotta do in howmuchever time they need...

The hardware is super great on our device! There are still many devices coming out right now that are not as powerful as the S2! And by the way you're complaining about the i9100g getting JB but I don't regret having bought a i9100 'cause it has better hardware! Exynos is far mor powerful than ti-omap processor.

If you're having these problems, its a fault with your device, cause mine works perfectly!
[Galaxy S II General] crazy_4_and1:
Of course there will be Jelly Bean for SGS2 . An official one . Had SGS 1 and I think they did not make a mistake of not releasing ICS for it . S.E. released ICS for 2011 line and it sucks - BIG TIME . It's laggy as hell if you are on official ROM ( Had Xperia Arc for a while , didn't like it at all ) . Don't know if it was the small amount of RAM or just unpolished software , but it sucked . 2.3.6 value pack for SGS is just great - it does not lack any features with it , it does not lag , an is competitive with other phones from the same price range (you can still buy a new one an for the same money you can not find a better phone ) .

So yup , I don't think that Samsung is gonna hold something like a minor JB update from its customers ;)

[Galaxy S II General] crazy_4_and1:
It has something to do with the fact that Samsung is not the only one that is "late" with their updates . From news like this on GSMArena I see that other phone makers are changing their update policy on the go - Xperia Play , Desire HD . . . it has something to do with JB because it is said that all of the phones running ICS COULD be updated to JB (probably meaning they can support and run it hardware wise ) but are they getting the update is up to vendors . From all the Android phones I had (S.E. , Samsung , LG , HTC ) Samsung had the best support - official and non-official one. Fastest and most friendly one .
[Galaxy S II General] jonboyuk:
What are you talking about? The Samsung Galaxy S only received some Ice Cream Sandwich features in a 'value pack' upgrade, as Samsung said it was not compatible with Android 4.0. As such you only ever had 2.3 on your device unless you'd rooted it and flashed a ROM from here.

If you apply that logic to the S2, then we will not be seeing any official JB as we've already had our free update from GB -> ICS.

I'm not necessarily agreeing with my logic, or disagreeing with your obvious optimism but questions of hardware still arise, such as: Is a dual core processor good enough to perform to JB's 'buttery' standards? ;) Personally I would hedge my bets that I'll be running CM10/an AKOP ROM anyway :highfive:
