1. Backup your data:

- Download call logs backup & restore, to backup your call logs

- Download sms backup & restore, to backup your sms

- Download bookmarks backup, to backup your bookmarks

- to backup your contacts, a)sync them with Google or b) export contacts to SD card or c) download contacts backup & restore to backup contacts

- use titanium backup to backup apps + data or use Es file explorer to backup apps (apk only)

2. perform a Nandroid backup

3. Download a custom stock based ICS 4.0.3 ROM

4. Flash ROM via CWM recovery following these steps:

- boot to CWM recovery

- wipe data/factory reset

- format /system (under mounts and storage)

- flash ROM

- reboot phone

5. There is no need to flash any custom kernel again as custom stock based ROMs are already using one

6. You already know that ROM recommendation is forbidden on XDA. So,

- Visit the thread of the Rom if you're choice,

- follow all the download and flashing instructions on the first post.

## This is exactly how I've helped a lot of friends with a rooted gingerbread device upgrade to ICS/JB

Good luck

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmic:
thanks for your replies,.

when you said custom stock based ICS 4.0.3 ROM, may i use this ROM?

Omega Stock v15:

Based on firmware XWLPF Android 4.03 (Date: 18/05/2012)

Kernel CF-Root LPG

Modem XXLPX

Deodexed - Rooted - Zipaligned

CMW recovery v5.5.0.4

CWM Manager v3.15

Omegas multi csc LP7 (multi 56 entries)

csc set to EUR by default

others mentioned about flashing new kernel, such as siyah. what is it for?

thanks again.^^
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. are you referring to this ROM? if yes, then no problem, you can flash it.

2. You don't need to flash any custom kernel, the Omega Rom uses CF- root already. I said it in my point no 5, in previous post
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmic:
yes, im referring to that ROM ( the stock version).

and after flashing omega v15 stock ROM im jellybean ready right?

ill be flashing this rom later, ill keep you posted..pls bear with me :) thanks again for your time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
- Omega ROM clearly states ICS (Ice cream Sandwich) 4.0.3 XWLPG. Do no you are not in JB. You will still need to upgrade to Jellybean after flashing Omega ROM

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmic:
yes yes :o what i meant was after flashing Omega Rom, my SGS2 GTI9100 is ready to be flashed with jellybean rom.:o

anyway, i already flashed Omega Rom v15, NOW my phones' description is:

GT-I9100

android version 4.0.3

baseband version I9100XXLPX

kernel version: 3.015-I9100WLPG-CL619441dpi@DELL150#3

build number Omega v15 - XWLPG

i thought according to ROM's decription my kernel should be CF-root LPG or are they the same? should i flash a different kernel before upgrading to jellybean?

i saw this cool JB rom PARANOIDANDROID v2.1

ill just follow their instructions on how to install it right?

i saw this on samsung galaxy s2 GTI9100 threads so, ill assume that this is compatible wiht my device...

sorry for asking too many questions, i just wanted to make sure and hear from your expertise before proceeding

thanks again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yeah, very compatible. You are good to go.

Since the kernel have CWM recovery, there is no cause for alarm.

Follow the flashing instructions on first page of the Rom.

I'm running ParanoidAndroid too

I've just ditched the BB (hooray!), have rooted and flashed CM9 and working out what to tweak next... I HAVE read loads of posts but still have a few questions.

1. Modem.bin files : there doesn't seem to be a list of differences, and people says some are better than others. I flashed XXKB3 and it works well. Better than others, I don't know. Does anybody know what differs in the versions?

2. GPS - Is there any way to fix the poor reception (have Fasterfix). Anyone modded the aerial or similar?? Otherwise can recommend a good GPS puck for the car

3. Supercharger V6 - yes or no? I only get redraw a bit, but always with Firefox Beta so maybe it's just that app. I understand the principles behind it, just not whether it is worth bothering on the I9000

Thanks so much (in advance) and to everyone keeping the I9000 alive and up-to-date. Still a fantastic bit of kit even if 2 years old!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mongopusher42:
1. The difference is that some modems have better/worse signal in certain locations. E.g i live in Europe and i might get 1-2 bars with one modem and full 4 bars with another.. so just test them out to find an optimal one.

2. Dont know anything bout this, i think it varies between different roms. But i dont personally use gps that much that i have a need to figuree it out.

3. Definately install V6! I got to a point that i had constant redraws and the phone started to lag, etc. Installed V6 and working sooo smooth now:) also the dev has made an additional 3g booster script, this worked good for me also, though the speed increase wasnt very big but even an slight speed increase isnt bad , eh?

Hour long drive to school, works great on Sprint's 3G. I'm running a Galaxy Nexus on CM10. On the way back, it just shows the album art and continually tries to load the next track, playing nothing. It changes album art every 30 seconds or so. I was running a modified unlimited apk, so i updated to the play store version. Same thing. I tried a modified latest release, it played one song and then started doing the same thing. I dropped the app on my Nexus 7 and tethered from my Galaxy Nexus, it does the same thing. It works fine on my home desktop PC, and i keep forgetting to try it on my home wifi. There's no open wifi networks where I am that pandora isnt blocked on for me to test it with. Any help is appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saichick04:
I would uninstall Pandora and reinstall it. I had to do that the other day at the gym for the same reasons. I had the unlimited apk and it started to do that so I uninstalled and reinstalled Pandora but it did it too. Finally got it to work though after uninstalling and rebooting my phone to reuinstall the Play Store version. Those ads really annoy me though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chilimac02:
I had CM 9.0 on my skyrocket for a month before anything wonky happened to data. Then yesterday my data connection just kept dropping. I mean the cell-data connection (3g, HSPA, 4G, etc). I know it was supposed to be an issue in some of the early releases of CM9, but I never had any problems until yesterday.

Being over-reactive, I installed CM 9.1 and have experienced the same issues. I'm looking for advice on how to get this thing working properly again. It's like the radio just doesn't want to work sometimes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chilimac02:
Really excited about all the kind-hearted advice you guys have given me. I'm still having the issue, though I now understand it better. It seems to be especially bad on the towers near my house (awesome :rolleyes:). Other places it is not as bad, although I've found that if I reset that data connection it seems to do great for about 2-3 minutes. It isn't ROM specific. I've tried CM9, 9.1, and Embryo 4, all have the same issue. It's gotta be a radio/network thing.

So, I thought maybe I'm getting throttled, but I stay under 2GB every month so that isn't it. Plus, that wouldn't explain the fact that on some towers it seems to work just fine. I'm guessing it must be a local tower issue? Any other reasonable guesses are appreciated - unreasonable ones are not (ex. Perhaps the sasquatch caused it).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjak:
Hello, I was browsing with Google Chrome on the SGS3 when all of a sudden it reset(which is not uncommon...seems to be a Chrome thing), and when the lockscreen came back up the LED flashed blue, and the screen went blank. 5ish seconds later, the lockscreen reappears, I have no service (literally the circle with a line through it) and after a few seconds I get the blue LED flash and the cycle repeats. For almost 10 minutes straight now. I have not tried to get into recovery mode, but I have removed/reinstalled the battery.

Any ideas or suggestions?

The only thing I can think of is that it was in a backpack on a hiking trip today and got very hot. It wasn't in use during that time though, and I hadn't seen any errors with it for at least 6 hours afterward until this happened.

1. Charge battery

2. Reset stats

3. IMPORTANT!!!! Put battery in phone :)

4. Boot and run Juice Offender until dead.

Does this make sense, or is there another way/app to make it easier. Thanks, Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mongopusher42:
Well, yes and no because atleast in my phone, it takes a while for a new battery to settle so that u truly see how long it lasts. And Juice DEFENDER(not offender,lol :p) also needs a good time to settle with the batteries info
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihartley:
Thanks for your post. Actually, it is Juice OFFENDER (purpose - switch everything on to drain battery)

For my purposes I don't believe the battery needs any settle in time. It is after all just an energy source, and as long as battery stats are reset I think the OS will treat all batteries the same. Am working on it, will report back my findings just n case anyone else reads....

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lamenramen:
The hugest reason for enabling soft keys are for iphone people. We are extremely used to having "safe" areas to grab a phone, esp in landscape. I have used an android phone for six months and I don't know where to grab the thing in landscape. I'm always accidentally touching the home or back button and going between apps, it's annoying. And it really hampers usability. This is something that I can't get used to. I definitely think Apple is right to have a hardware old-fashioned home button, or at least some bezel space. This is why I want the soft keys patch for the One XL.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
decompile framework-res.apk for the ROM you are using.

I think softkey enabling is in bools.xml.. if not search through strings, arrays, or public.xml

When you find it and change it, recompile and push it to /system/framework
