[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SirFork:
The scratches do not affect the viewing quality of the screen, which seems to support the notion that the damage is to the glass coating rather than the glass itself. Between a galaxy s 2, atrix 4g, and galaxy s3, the hox is by far the most vulnerable to scratches. Only time it's noticeable is in daylight though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I think the idea of filling the crack is a pretty good one, and much less harmful than abrasive techniques. The filling does not have to be perfect, or the same material to be effective. True, you are not actually removing the scratch, but simply making it less visible, which is probably enough (and much less invasive).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SirFork:
I wish I knew what kind of material you could use but conceptually if it were possible, one would make a lot of money by inventing 'touch screen band aids' that would be applied like a screen protector, left on overnight and would repair minor surface scratches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
So I have had my s3 since around the 10th and I've loved it so far. Lately I have been having issues that surly aren't annoying but on the other hand im not exactly sure if a software update would fix anyone of these things. As of now I am not rooted at all and everything is stock. These are my main problems for the phone

1.) While texting on stock messaging app (I just love the stock app) the keyboard constantly freezes up while im texting

2.) Screen flickers yet not too drastically

3.) For some reason when I try to set my custom vibration pattern it only stays as the basic call vibration and only changes when im getting a phone call.

Like I said these issues really aren't drastic and im not sure if it really warrants a replacement phone at all. I talked to the VZW tech support and she said that its up to me really because I am deff able to get one for these issues. The only thing that made me have second thoughts was the fact that she said most likely im getting a "certified like new phone" meaning that its basically been used before and im not sure if I should really trust it. Anyways im really on the fence about this so if anyone can give me some in sight id really appreciate it.

ps: I did factory resets and everything and it still has not fixed these issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
Sounds like something isn't right and about to go bad to me. I'd call VZW support and see if they will replace it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Did you reflash stock image from Samsung site? I would try that before taking a chance of getting a CLN phone for the same reasons as you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
How do I go about that? im a noob flasher haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
They already confirmed that they are able to do so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Go-to the development sub forum and read the stickies. If it is your first time, I would even print them out and follow the instructions step by step.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
Ok thanks ill do just that. My final question now is does this count as rooting my phone? just in case I do end up sending back my phone I dont want there to be any problems with it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rolo42:
Turn off Settings | Display | Auto adjust screen tone to address the flicker problem.

The keyboard is probably searching predictive text; I've only used the stock KB for a few minutes. Wife and I use SwiftKey without any problems (including right now).

I have vibration disabled completely, so I can't even guess on that one (I can't even find the option you're talking about and I know I've seen it before!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevenjcampbell:
reason #2 is enough to try and get it swapped.

That is a hardware issue, and will only get worse.

I have had a dozen smartphones, and anything that CONNECTS stuff (headphone jack to the motherboard, cables connecting screens etc) only get worse until they stop working entirely.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtyfingers:
Flashing the stock image through Odin is not the same as rooting your phone. It would not trip the flash counter so you could still return it if you wish.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rolo42:
If it is a hardware issue and not the setting I mentioned, I agree, definitely return it without hesitation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
Ya thanks for the suggestion I tried changing the setting yet the flicker isn't going away. Like I said its nothing big and if you aren't paying attention it isn't really that apparent it is there but your right I think I better exchange it before anything happens thanks for all the advice =)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seriosbrad:
I'm on brainmasters JB ROM, does anyone know if there is a flashable zip or some way to get the skip track with volume buttons function to work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ180:
Hey man, im afraid I am not aware of any kind of zip that can modify your stock based rom that way to include tht feature in the rom's settings, unless theres an app for it (I dont think so . . could be wrong)

Only way I can think of would be to simply flash another rom that has volume button track skipping. The best alternative rom I have tried would have to be cm10 jellybro by euroskank, its SOOOO fast and has loads of features, im sure you will love it, but now im slowly downloading the final build of aokp which also has track skipping, because aokp > cm . . always :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seriosbrad:
Yeah, I ran AOKP for ICS over CM9, good stuff. I'll have to look into the new AOKP and JellyBro roms

I actually am on the same rom (PA 1.97) and I am having troubles with my Gapps. I can't seem to install calander and a few others that came with the device after I rooted it. Tried a few times but got nothing. I am using the 07-26 Gapps for JB too, which by what I can find is the most recent version of it. Maybe I should go back to Gapps on the earlier build and I will have more luck but if you have any solutions please let me know! Thanks

Hi Vanka,

What does it say when you install gapps. Does it say flashes successfully? When in android, do you see the play store? It might be possible you have a bad downloaded file of the gapps. Try another download and see if that works. Let me know...

It seems like my battery is draining very quickly. Android is the highest on my battery list. I don't have anything weird installed or syncing and my screen is set to 50% brightness. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
If you have root access you can install Better Battery Stats (Free here: http://goo.gl/EjdB8) and choose partial wakelocks since unplugged. That will tell you what's keeping your phone from deep sleep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
Nothing is standing out in partial wake locks. Every bar is pretty much empty. And that app isn't free anymore according to that post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KrisPeezy:

Maybe it's not bad. I'm not one to complain about the battery life, but it just seemed like it was tanking fast. Like percentage points per minute.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Obrien8403:
Op, are you rooted? I noticed my battery goes a little quicker since I rooted and flashed cm10. I also noticed you are on 3g, did you disable 4g, is 4G available in your area? Maybe the phone constantly searching for 4G is draining. Not sure how that would show up in battery usage stats though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
Yes I am rooted. I noticed the battery draining faster after I flashed Google Wallet. I am stock rooted though. I turn off NFC when I don't need it, and the app doesn't sync often.

I'm not in a 4G area, but that has never drained my battery before. I can't imagine Wallet would be draining my battery..

I should also note that my brightness is set to full at all times. What's of interest to me is the fact that it isn't draining so much when the screen is on, it's when the screen is off is when it drains the most it seems. I'll leave the phone off for at least 20 minutes and when I turn it back on it'll have lost a few points.

Can't seem to figure it out. Like I said, it seems like I started noticing the battery draining quicker after I installed Google Wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
Here's an update from better battery stats

For some reason I can't figure out how to stop the top app. I've disabled all I could think of with maps. The only other change I've made is installing Google Now, but this started before that.

​

(Click on image above to go to the Aberration website)​

This is a continuation of my previous ShishirROM series of ROMS that started out on Gingerbread 2.3.4, and have evolved and expanded to today, where the latest version of ShishirROM is based off of XWLPG 4.0.3. Aberration is built completely independent of those and the only resemblance to my old ROMs is the dialer, which was an original creation anyways, but at it's heart, it's the next step. The ROM focuses on speed and smoothness and battery life. It incorporates common-sense fixes and ground-breaking features as well as third-party applications that bring something new to the table every time you use them. The ROM was inspired by the old Samsung gingerbread ROMS -- they were stable, fast, and just worked. This ROM manages to bring the same sort of feel back to the table while maintaining an updated look similar to the Galaxy S3 series of phones, and Android's resident Holo design. The Aberration Settings application is an extension of this ROM that lets you change some deeper settings, such as using Lidroid's beautiful 14 Notification Widget Mod instead of the default themed widgets, as well as provide an easier way for users to update to the latest version of Aberration, no matter which model of the Galaxy S2 they're running. This ROM aims to be the ONE ROM that supports every Galaxy S2 phone, and brings them on par with the super-phones coming out later this year. It's an update away from giving your phone four cores, two gigs of RAM, and a 4.8" SAMOLED HD display.

Features:

ODEXED (for smoothness)

Based on XWLPM

Siyah

Aberration Settings app

Lidroid 14 Quick Toggles

AROMA Installer

Google Now

Lux Auto-brightness

Opensource Sensors library (more accurate and faster)

Holo/Jellybean inspired styling

Apex/GS3/GS2 Launcher

GS2/GS3 Music application

Easy-Update

Samsung Dive

Complete development cycle

Directions:

Install i9100 zip in CWM

Wipe Data

Configure installation & install ROM

Reboot

Set-up ROM, download apps, etc.

Reboot again to settle everything

Wrong section, Should be in Development, not original development. However can you explain the features of this ROM and perhaps a link to the original.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishir95:
I built this ROM directly from XXLPM stock, not ported it from another unrelated device, sorry if that was unclear. The Galaxy S2 i777 and Galaxy S2 i9100 are EXTREMELY alike, so alike in fact that about five files hold the changes between them. No actual porting was done.

And I can't provide a link to the original since I made this, and this is the original lol. It's just a Stock Samsung ROM based off of 4.0.4 LPM with a few tweaks and fixes thrown in.

EDIT: Let me try and be more clear: this ROM was built off of XXLPM. It was initially tested on the i777 because that happens to be the device I have, but the development of the ROM was exactly the same for both versions. The i777 and i9100 versions are very different. Different modems, kernels, libs, etc. This ROM truly was built for both devices in mind, therefore it isn't a port.

EDIT2: Moved
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ephraim:
What he means is that what special features or original features does the rom have in order for it to stay in the original development :) for example paranoidandroid, it has the capability of changing per app dpi, from phone ui to a tablet ui etc. Jkay framework which can customize almost everything from the lockscreen to the notification bar. Because if it is just a cooked rom with some features that has been gotten from other devs, it should belong to android development. But i may be wrong, maybe you have something special in the settings you mention on the OP. Good luck on your rom bdw.

Cheers!

Also, on a somewhat related note, pictures are uploaded to the ROM site.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] xscreations:
Hello,

I wanted to try your rom, so i downloaded the i9100 zip and followed the installation steps and i got installation completed without any problems.

Then i choosed to reboot. The screen showed the Siyah logo, then the phone gave me a sound... and then nothing. Black screen. I have tried again and again but the same result. Maybe i am doing something wrong.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bervin:
too much bloatware dude.. maybe make a slim version
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vsinha71:
same issue. after siyah bootanimation a sound and then the screen blanks out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anshmiester78900:
What kind of a rude person are you ? This is no way to post something on a thread
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vsinha71:
Anybody else facing this issue. Any suggestions for this issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishir95:
For everyone facing the black screen issue, first make sure you're running the i9100 version, and confirm that you wiped data before installing, then try flashing another i9100 kernel before you boot up for the first time. It sounds like the kernel didn't get flashed for some reason. I'll have to do some more digging. If anyone can grab a logcat then i'd appreciate it, although I don't know if the Log service got started after the Siyah screen.

If it still doesn't work, it may not have gotten installed properly. Try going into mounts/storage in CWM and wipe /system, manually do a factory reset/wipe data, and wipe cache as well. That should get everything.

EDIT: If you're getting the sound after boot, that just means the boot animation isn't showing for some reason. Give it five minutes and see if the phone boots up. If so then I'll upload a fix for this when someone confirms that's the issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xscreations:
I left the phone on black screen after sound nearly for 25 minutes, but the phone didn't boot up :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishir95:
I don't quite understand what you mean by bloatware, since I allowed you to pick if you wanted to install most of it, and I allowed you to remove bloatware post-install anyways. Can you list some apps that you'd want an option to remove?

:/ Try a different kernel. or any of the other solutions I outlined.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xscreations:
Sorry none of the solutions worked...:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishir95:
Okay so there are still a few things you can try. Download the file again. Sometimes they get a little messed up so you may have downloaded the messed up version. Once you have that done, don't dual boot the ROM with anything just yet. It's running an experimental Siyah build and I think gokhanmoral already released a new version. Once you boot into CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and format /system. Once in the installer, wipe data in the installer AGAIN. Try flashing it with apex and the default modem. Once it's done installing, wipe data AGAIN, and flash the latest Siyah off the forums. Then try rebooting into recovery again to make sure the flash went through.

Then once you're done with all that, try rebooting again.

Sometimes bits of old ROMs clutter up your device and prevent things from working properly. Also make sure you're running the right version for your device. If you have an i777, you should use the i777 version, if not then use the i9100 version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xscreations:
OK, when i re-downloaded the rom i was very happy, because this file had different size from the previous one. I did all the actions you said above, but still at the same point. Cannot reboot after the sound.

The strange thing is i have installed other 4.0.4 roms without problem.

But, i want to try this one, it looks so pro.

Maybe i have to wait for a new version...

:(:(:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishir95:
We're going to fix this today lol. Can you try installing it again, but this time save the logs right before you click finish? Send those to me. And since you're hearing the boot-up sound, I'm thinking the boot-animation is some how just stopping the boot from going on. I'm uploading 1.1 already.

So flash 1.0 from the file you just downloaded, then flash this on top of it:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] shishir95:
Report: Failed boot after full wipe/factory reset on Aberration 1.1

Result: Boot fails because certain elements couldn't get written to empty /data partition

Cause: Siyah kernel 4.0 has problems booting some ROMs

Fix: Flash another kernel right after booting up to get around the boot problem, then flash Siyah after boot completes so the Camera works.

Until we can get a fixed Siyah kernel, it's best to flash another ICS kernel THEN flash Siyah later after the initial boot is completed.
