How's the battery life compared to LSS? Stock LSS (XEU) for me is great apart from the battery drains quicker with wifi on compared to the GB2.3.4 I was running before. It's not that much of an issue but I'd like a bit less juice drain from wifi.

[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
Lately there have been very few changes between successive stock firmware builds as you have all noticed. Most changes just include incremental updates to system apps and minor stability improvements. New features are usually only introduced when the android version changes: 2.3 -> 4.0 -> 4.1 etc so I wouldn't expect any major changes unless we get 4.2.2 which is so far not confirmed officially by Samsung.

Installed LSS for a week now...

edit: Gt-I9100 from Brazil here.

Flashed with MOP, just tooked less than 5 minutes, wipes and root just in a click... Really love MO thats why lve buyed this app.

Everything smooth here, batrery fine for a heavy WIFI user (I have 3 spare extended batts).

So, nothing to complain about, just the: "no scrolling wallpaper", pretty sad.

edit: I dont like, and dont want to use apps or third-party launchers for this.

Really wanted someone just port the scrolling wp to the stok JB touchwiz with nothing more, just this feature.

Now just waitin' for sammy to anounce the 4.2 for my loved S2.

thanks all for the attention. :thumbs up:

Seems LSW have less battery drain than LSS in standby ( maybe placebo :eek: )

and seems wifi slowdown after some deep sleep fixed , not sure though :cyclops:
[Galaxy S II General] GidiK:
I've had LSW-XEU for a few days, coming from LSD-XEN. Battery life seemed the same to me, or maybe even a bit worse.

The problem I had with Wifi (the wlan_* wakelocks) was still present in LSW.

BTW, I had also tried mixing the XEN-CSC of LSD with the LSW-XEU PDA/PHONE, but that didn't work for me. So probably these aren't compatible.

I'm now back at LSD-XEN.
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
i don't have any wifi wakelock other than a bit of wlan_rx wake which normal ( about 1:30 minutes per hour )

i think the problem in ur modem - router :rolleyes:

and on previous builds i was having Wifi slow down to hell after many hours of deep sleep seems fixed in LSW but i will keep my fingers crossed for many days of testing
[Galaxy S II General] ngencox:
thanks... i will try this
[Galaxy S II General] GidiK:
Thanks. I was going with the wakelock counts rather than time, since some threads here suggest that is also important. But I will monitor it some more. Good to know what should be considered normal.

I've been doing lot of reading about it here already and I know the router / network is mainly to blame. I've already tried changing some settings as suggested without success. But, I have the effect also at work where I can't do that anyway. I don't think it existed as bad before jb. And my tab 7.7 on ics doesn't show the effect, while virtually all other settings are identical. So I'm still hoping the problem is at least partly caused by the firmware and a fix might be upcoming.
[Galaxy S II General] android.racer:
Just install the app 'better wiffi on/off' from the play store. This will handle your WLAN wakelocks.

Worked for me.
[Galaxy S II General] GidiK:
Thanks, that's quite a comprehensive app, certainly useful to manage the Wifi state beyond what Samsung provides. I'll be trying that.

In the past I had however found problems with turning Wifi on and off. Some accounts would perform their sync once Wifi turned on, even if it wasn't time yet according to their schedule; having Wifi turn on/off with the screen actually caused more syncs, and a really high drain (I use a lot of accounts... I'm not looking for exceptional battery life...). Because of that, it was more efficient to leave Wifi connected, even during sleep (which is also the advice by Samsung).

However, at the moment I'm unable to reproduce this effect, so maybe it's not true any more. Maybe it was only on ICS?

speaker to loud

Hello to everyone. Amid all these topics I wish to share my "problem". I have set the speaker to its lowest setting but still, when I answer the phone I'm always afraid of loosing my hearing. It's to loud. I'm "shy" by nature and don't like others hearing what comes out from the other end of my telephone conversation. Although this is not something I couldn't live with, the volume is really high and, occasionally, hurtful.

Is there something I've missed? Besides the obvious "in call" settings. Does anyone have this problem also? I should add that I didn't have this issue on ICS and I'm currently rooted using Philz Kernel.

You talking about BLN? Use a kernel (Apollo, siyah, jeebo) which supports this feature

Thank you I'll take a look.

Do you have any advice on just a kernel that is interesting for the duration of the battery?
[Galaxy S II General] minidou-77:
What do you mean when you say that you have lost your efs?

Try to reboot with the charger unplugged

Do you have a backup of you efs?

If yes there are tutorials to repair it (search on xda)

If not you can try something (once again there is a thread on xda for it) but this will be harder and not 100% successful.

But be careful use only things related to your device (don't use something for I9100G of you have a I900 for example)

If you need a realistic reply, any phone running ICS should run Android 4.3 fine . Some of the features introduced might be h/w dependent which doesn't imply or hint the possibility of getting an update from Samsung because S3/Note 2/S4 (Exynos variant) dont support OpenGL 3.0

[Galaxy S II General] tutsipoppy:
Samsung has done a great job with supporting their older devices, a.k.a. I9100 in this case. The last build was XWLSW in June 2013, which was exactly 2 years from the month of initial phone release in June 2011.

I can't see ANY other (android based) phone manufacturer supporting their older devices for over 2 years. We might get a few more 4.1.2 updates in the coming months. If we are lucky, even a 4.2 update which would be fantastic.

Personally I would really want the 4.2 update, not for the sake of it, but there are some legitimate bugs in 4.1.2 which I'm hoping are fixed in the 4.2 build.

I've jumped between AOSP based and Custom Samsung Stock based firmwares in these 2 years, but no matter how *bloated* it is, I somehow find the STOCK untouched Samsung firmware (with a rooted stock kernel) to provide the best stability.

I only thing I'm not sure about is how to flash mods for MediaFix and BlackSB (which I used flashed when I was on NeatROM or similar firmwares). I've tried to search but wasn't able to find anything which specifically pertained to stock untouched Samsung firmware.

Here's to flashing an updated firmware in the days to come :highfive:.
