If you want to be able to have more market apps available go with cm9

Because the official ICS prohibits you from downloading apps such as virtual tennis NFS not pursuit, real racing etc..

CM9 gives you a raw android experience and is snappier in my opinion because it uses a kernel similar to s3 I think

The official ROM however seems to have a slight advantage with screen clarity

It has pop up apps which can allow you to text while in an app.

The official ROM also scores higher in quadrant benchmark . But in my opinion cm9 is smoother and has better battery life.

PS: been installing both ROMs back and forth
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] General Klinger:
I went from HC 3.2 to CM9 on my 6210, and defnitely agree with the snappiness of the CM9.

I just have a disease and feel the need to jailbreak/hack any electronics I own. LOL And the ability to sideload apps that are otherwise non-compatible with my tablet works well too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gingerboy92:
depends on what you like, at least for now, since our cm9 is still buggy, and not to mention we are not don't even have any custom ROM/firmware/kernel with optimization yet since the only 2 developers for tab plus is still working on getting everything to work properly. but overall, cm9 is better than stock for me. more apps support, better battery life, more performance. but the stock is more stable, for now, and have much better camera(if you care about it, i do).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] domin8:
appreciate the replies guys. Its hard having the galaxy nexus with tons of support and than having this which i love but development is crawling. I guess i'll flash cm9 soon and see how i like it compared to the iCS leak.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] simonckenyon:
cm9 is a lot nicer than the stock ics.

well that is my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ejoya:
Stock ics is better than cm9. you get polaris, better icon handling and customization with touchwiz, no force closes. I find cm9 bland and lacking. Smoothness is the same for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ColMustard:
Well if you prefer a complete functioning tablet, then you should stick with the stock ICS ROM.

Thing that aren't working with CM9:

IR Blaster

Audio output on 30 Pin Connector

MTP (MAC only, Windows users indicate it works)

DSP Manager including any Equializer app

WIFI finicky

HDMI output
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolthrash:
Hello,

I have a major problem with my lower microphone (on the USB flex board), the microphone does not register much sound at all (very faint sounds are possible if you scream as loud as possible into the microphone directly).

I have replaced the USB flex board (properly, everything is connected correctly and the USB port works perfectly), but the microphone is exactly the same...

Anyone have any ideas? It seems a couple of people have similar issues, has anyone found a fix yet?

Also, does anyone perhaps have any ideas about how to force the top microphone (speaker phone mic) to engage as the active microphone during regular voice calls? I am 100% sick of using speaker phone for every voice call, especially considering I need to make private/confidential calls for work :\
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolthrash:
and yes, I have removed the rubber housing as well and tested it without it, it makes zero difference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Youve tried to repair it on rhe cheap and failed.Maybe take it to a repair shop and get it done properly.

And from your other thread,the spare one I have here has part no gt-i9100 rev2.2(so maybe the one you bought is still faulty :rolleyes:)

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolthrash:
So you've followed me to my thread because I made a post you didn't like in another thread, and offered complete shinfo.

Please, do not post again.

I am a fourth year EE student, I know how to replace a minor circuit board correctly.

Anyone who has any real advice, specifically about whether or not this may be some form of software issue, and with regards to my question about using the other microphone in voice calls, please let me know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
My mistake-I thought I was replying to a poster named Bodurr as he made a couple of threads about mic problems aswell.

He replaced the board and its still not working.

And I see what you mean about the other thread-I can assure you I never twigged it was you.

Anyway,if you require help,its advised to state what rom etc your running.That way someone could say "if your rooted make a nandroid backup then flash stock rom and see if problem persist".

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolthrash:
I'm using rootbox ICS rom version 1.7, android 4.0.4 with siyah kernel v3.4.

Have made a nandroid backup and reflashed to stock a couple of times (including stock kernel and then CF root kernel) and nothing makes any difference.

The issue started whilst on gingerbread and has now carried on to ICS...

I'm seriously completely stumped and have no idea what is causing it :\
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
I've had a quick look and its advised to test using voice recorder to eliminate a hardware issue.

Other thing mentioned was to change audio values(but maybe need to be on GB to access and change values in the *#197328640# menu.

I don't know if you've done this already.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolthrash:
Just tested again with voice recorder (first time I have done this since swapping the USB flex board) and it's exactly the same issue.

There is SOME sound, but you need to have the volume on full with your ear right against the speaker to hear it, and it's still very faint like that.

What a bizarre issue, it seems no-one knows how to fix it either :\

GT-i9100 mic flex problem

Did you ever find a solution to this? I too had usb/battery problems so changed my flex to very simalar rev2.2 but only to have the same mic problems :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrissyg123:
experiencing exactly the same issue, replaced the USB flex and now have no microphone pickup on voice calls / voice recorder apps.

using ICS so not got the service mode audio options available (says BLOCKED)

don't know where I've gone wrong? maybe the part wasn't exactly right? I got it from here > http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251069751004
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Heres someone that lists a seller and he says he has no problems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablo291:
Same here

Up here, anyone found solution for this issue? I'm experimenting now the same problem with microphone after replacing the USB flex board...

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confusy:
Yeah, got the solution. It's actually the board/flex cable itself. Took me three boards to find that out. There is a lot of b-ware boards on eBay that were actually thrown out by Samsung because they did not pass QC. Just get a genuine spare part and your mic will be fine.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bidomo:
damn, i got the same then... its gonna be hard to get a proper board... I was thinking maybe, it had some kind of security by solder like lasers...

There's a little difference between 2.2 and 2.3, a single resistor, could it be?

Also, can't connect USB in Mass storage...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
Did you get the Rev 2.2 or 2.3?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confusy:
R2.3

Tapatalked from my SGS2!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
Hmm some people are saying 2.3 won't be compatible. Was your phone originally 2.2 or 2.3? Also how do I tell if it is genuine? If it says oem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confusy:
Why wouldn't it be compatible. A higher revision number usually suggests that something has been improved. BTW I initially had a 2.2 sub circuit board, now it's 2.3.

Well the new board should look like the old one. I think I took a picture the day I switched my board out. I'll try too find it later.

Tapatalked from my SGS2!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
I'm looking at two 2.3 models. One seems teal colored the other is a dark blue. Which one is the oem? Actually which color is yours?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confusy:
The second one looks just like mine. But the OEM part actually comes with a grey mic enclosure. Make sure your part comes with it.

Tapatalked from my SGS2!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoRo1990:
Thanks. I opened up my phone again today to confirm the rev it's 2.2 anyway I noticed 1 of the screws the 1 to the right of the microphone is damaged stripped at the top and couldn't get it off. Don't have a power drill atm. Oh well i'm probably just going to get a nexus tired of dealing with this phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Appie_nl:
Looks like the problem is indeed not that common.

I got the same issue, originally the problem rose after flashing my phone from stock to CM10. Since then, the mic does work, but i sound very muffled. REALLY muffled.

Since I tried so many software solutions, I replaced yesterday the flex cable (USB/MIC/WIFI) (the bottom flex cable). Replaced it with an NOT original looking Rev 2.2.

This Mic does function, when i use Voicerecorder. I sound very muffled (i have to scream to get some voice recorded. When i just tap the phone very lightly, the voicerecorder registers this very well. And I hear on playback a very nice, good to hear tapping.

Ofcourse, using the phone when im calling on Speakerphone, it uses the TOP mic and nothing is wrong. Im very clear to hear.

Is it usefull to replace the flex cable by a trustworthier one? Anyone used the following solution:

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f258/samsung-i9100-mic-problem-1749493/

It's talking about some circuits on the upper board to be replaced or reheated.

Don't know if anyone here came from the SGS2 Skyrocket, but i am the developer of NexusMod for the device, a ROM made to be as close to CyanogenMod and AOSP as possible, based on a Samsung Touchwiz base. I have a SGS3 on the way (My sig! :P) and i'm wondering what is the needs and requests of the GS3 users for a custom ROM since i am so new to the device, and also, what base i should base my ROM on, things like that, thanks.

So your ROM post in Development http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1837624 and cannot WAIT for this to be uploaded.

I've been bouncing between various stock roms, CM9 Nightlies, and CM10 Preview but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. Based on the screenies you posted it looks like this ROM might fill the gap, to a tee. Since you asked here is what would be a dream rom for me:

LG1 or latest released firmware (the leaked modem doesn't look stable yet).

AT&T fully debloated (All useless).

Samsung Email replaced with ICS Email (with exchange policy bypass).

Samsung MMS replaced with ICS MMS (for the Emoji support).

Either S Planner or ICS calendar so long as it functions with S Voice.

Either Samsung Dialer/Contacts or ICS so long as it functions with S Voice.

Samsung Camera Intact as it's one of the best things about the phone in my opinion.

Samsung S Voice intact (It has it's usefulness).

Samsung S Memo intact (Why not?).

ICS Holo Themeing where ever possible/convenient (Love how clean CM9 looks).

Tethering/Hotspot Enabled (A must for any custom ROM).

Google Now couldn't hurt (Probably overkill with S Voice intact but what good is 2GB of memory if your not gonna use it, right?).

Stock Lock screen replaced with ICS Lock Screen.

International Boot Animation

15 toggle mod couldn't hurt.

Extended Power Menu (Another must for any ROM, right?)

ICS Keyboard installed (After years of iphone usage I cannot deal with no double space period insertion)

ICS or JB sounds would rock.

I think that's it, LOL.

The closest I have come to this is my current configuration which is WanamLite v1.2 with Samsung email/mms replaced with ICS versions following instructions found on xda. Then I use Nova Launcher in place of default home and WidgetLocker for my lockscreen. It's the closest I have ever been to the list above but your ROM looks like it might just be perfection.

I was actually thinking about learning how to build a custom ROM just to get the exact ROM that I would like. I still may just for fun but its looking like you might have already taken care of it. Thanks for your hard work and looking forward to trying it out!

[Defy General] nidhish91:
Hello guys, lately I've come to know that if we get some sort of bin file from service centers we can unlock our defy.

I have a request for all Indian members to try to get this file if possible. I my self will be trying too. If anyone is able to find it then I might reward that person too.

I specifically made this for Indian members cuz we have something called "jugaad" in our country which gets you whatever you want. Please try your best guys, dont you'll want an unlocked defy ??:D

S3nt fr0m my D3fy

In a jist:

We always thought that Motorola don't have a method to unlock production defys (defys shipped to end users). Well we have sufficient information now to prove that Motorola have a method, and that it converts production defys to engineering defys (Phones used by Motorola engineers to make ROMs and other stuff)

This is actually better than a simple unlocked boot-loader because eng defys have unlimited applications (because we have direct access to MOBO/CPU) like overclocking gpu, installing other OS like Ubuntu, Debian, WP7 etc. into NAND and a lot more.

So the problem here is that the tools required for ENG switch is only available to Motorola employees. Till now we have no further information on it. The tools are TI OMAP BOARD CONFIGURATION TOOL and a 16MB .bin file. Other significance of this method is that it might also unlock other phones with OMAP(3xxx/xxxx?) board. Also this method seems to be very stable.

So the good news is that this software is available for most Motorola repair centers. That means it would be easier to get a leak.

What am I rewarding: Otterbox for Defy(might also give my Mugan Power battery, lets see).

What exactly do you mean by 'Unlocked Defy' .? Its already the retail version and is unlocked.
[Defy General] nidhish91:
There is this TI tool that can help in unlocking the bootloaders of our defy. That and a 16MB bin file is used which is of most importance for now coz we have the tool.

Please try getting it.

Since then i am searching for it here in Ghaziabad (can't go to other places due to busy schedule).I also tried to obtain TI OMAP board configuration tool from LG service center( as they also have some phones with same board), but got nothing.

I'm not an Indian but I've got a good idea. Sorry I'm new here so I can't post in developers threads.

So if someone like my idea, someone can post it in developers thread.

Nah, we've tried that. The amount of storming done to Moto when OPMOSH#2 started was intense, but had no results. So, hacking life is the way to go.

[Defy General] droid_<3er:
OH i get it now, I thought you were talking about SIM, but I realized you were the same nidhish on the

project Cheesecake thread :laugh:

Do you mean the .bin file that turns your defy into Engineer Mode (or whatever they call it) when you take it

into the shop? That's a good start if you can find it.

But the OMAP configuration tool is probably more difficult because the cell phone repair shops don't do any unlocking...

i think they only put your phone into engineer mode to restore it to original system.

Anyways, I would have tried to help, but my carrier is the worst in terms of customer service. If I tried explaining to them

they would fill my mind with senseless **** and I would leave with empty hands :(

I would request members to be at their cool while posting here. This thread is regarding something which is important to every Defy users. We are very close to achieve something. Stop throwing accusitions, taunts and anti-thread stuff here. We all want our Defy's unlocked, dont we?

Also to those who think it is a wrong job leaking stuff, isnt it wrong to promise stuff and then not fulfill too? I see this as a ray of hope for us and just waiting for a positive end.

Also please dont keep sending the file to everyone who asks for it. Only recognised devs and experts please.
