Same here, when I call people they can hear themselves echoing. So thats gonna be a pain.
[Galaxy S II General] mrgonzodad:
Is anyone else having trouble downloading gapps? I've tried 3 different ones and all have failed. We want the 4.2.2 gapps correct?

I can send and receive texts, but can't send pics. Picture messages are coming in fine. I tried the FI25 modem and have the weak signal and echoing.

If anyone can tell me where they successfully got their gapps I would really appreciate it.

I'm about to try another modem, got to slap some dinner together and will report back.

Magical Unicorn is great though.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
http://goo.im/gapps that's where I got mine. And have you added your apns manually? So did I but hopefully whenever he tests more modems we'll have better signal
[Galaxy S II General] mrgonzodad:
Thanks! That is the one I am downloading with goo.im on my phone right now. I'm going to try another modem here soon. Later tonight I will do my apns.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
You ought to download it on your pc, usually for me whenever I download from my phone it ends up being a bad download

Since to flash to get rid of the triangle I lost agat recovery has anyone found another recovery that works? Cwm or agat

[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Unfortunately at the moment no, I lost mine as well when I flashed the gb28 kernel back. So it's either have yellow triangle and Agat's recovery, or Have no triangle and no recovery. Or you can jump on the AOKP bandwagon and, have CWM :D

I had to go back to stock. My signal got bad, echoing and messed up volume during calls.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Since the roms will flash and run prettt good, there has to be a way to get a stable working rom for this phone. I believe theres other things that need to be modified. I wont have time until the weekend to look into it. In the mean time, anyone who has the time, flash a couple different roms and modems. Make some test calls and if we can get a better signal.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Well the OG developer said the echo would be fix in the next build so I'm waiting for that. Also if I flash other modems for this, was the worse that could happen?
[Galaxy S II General] mrgonzodad:
My in call volume is cranked all the way up, the volume rocker and touch slider work, but don't change volume. I'm getting the weak signal, even though I can see two towers now instead of just one with the GB28 repack.

I tried a couple of different modems, but all had the same weak signal.

I saw a post that outlined how the apns need to be edited but can't find it for the life of me. I think it was on teamuscellular, but have no clue now.

I'm going to try some more modems. I'll try some other rom's if this doesn't get me going in the right direction.
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
the worst case scenario is you get worse signal. Now one of those modems kept me in safe mode. No worries though, just flash another one and take note which one it is. I cant remember.

Just google alltel apn settings for android and you will find what you need. You have to use voice dilaer to acess apns. Just say "open apn settings". To manully edit them, use root explorer and navigate to system/etc and open the apn-conf.xml file with text editor. Just long press and the options will pop up.

Root access

Okay guys I just used Alltel's Jellbean update that I posted a link to. I have a bad port and had to get ride of the root access. I did not have a backup of the stock ROM so this was the only way I saw to get rid of the root. For my sons phone, and the one I have coming, the directions for rooting in this thread will not work now right? I understand these are such basic questions. I follow the directions well but really have no clue what I am doing.. I am trying to read up on it now. Hope fully I can figure it out but I know in a nano second you know the answer. I know it isnt the right kernel to flash anymore etc... From where I am sch760X 4.1.2 Buils JZ054k.sch-r760x.GB28
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
I beleive on page 55 is the directions on rooting the JB update for our phones.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Hey no problem. Thank brd912 for putting a list of instructions, and myself for finding root method :D
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Say, brd912, you'd think if I test more roms that making a backup on the aokp rom and installing through cwm, and going to through the same process it'd work? Or would I have to use my backup of 4.1.2 and then try from there? Or which one you'd think be safer?

Awww shucks I went back to 4.1.2 same cuz of echo.. but the modem fb15 somehow stuck and i have no 3g.. Any help?
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Extract the GB28 stock tar and find modem.bin. forgot to mention that if going back to stock.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Yeah I didn't know how to do that so I downloaded the whole thing earlier. I fixed it. Could you wherever you have time extract it? I wanna be able to keep testing roms. Hopefully find something good. After installing that cm10 to get cwm maybe I could try different rom (without the echo) and keep something good. But again thanks for your concern. But like I said if you can it extract whenever you get a chance that be great.

Sent from my AWESOME ALLTEL S2
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
I already have it extracted. Ill upload it soon. We gotta figure out a way to get better signal. I never have enough spare time to do anything. Maybe this weekend I can hop back to it and get it figured out.
[Galaxy S II General] michaelnm:
Modems

Since we need an ICS modem to try for the aokp roms, could we use the US Cellular modem that was on their ICS roms? Since Alltel doesn't have one. And I just thought of it, is it possible to restore back to the stock ics through a cwm backup and extract the modem through adb commands or something like that? Also, could we use a GB modem from the 2.3.6 rom?
[Galaxy S II General] cspiresucks:
Ok my question has nothing to do with roms. But has anyone used app delete to remove system apps from 4.1.2 ? Is there a list for system apps safe to be removed?

Who is the dev, i downloaded from kbizzle, i just found a dev called sniper. Not sure which one has the newest. They both look extremely similar from their posts. You may also wanna take a look at this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050948. It combines Paranoid Android, AOKP, and cyanogenmod, it'll be the next one I test, this one I have obviously seen. One quick question, I see a lot of roms say to flash a GB or ICS modem, what exactly does flashing the different modem do? I suspect there has to be some kind of compatibility issue with the new rom and our modem, but i'm not sure where to look to find a straight answer. Just wondering
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Remember that these have to be ported to our phones. By us... So. Follow br912 guide on how to, I think is on page 60... As far as GB and ICS modems I really don't know why...
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Im not sure why, but it seems that jellybean CM, AOSP roms etc.. require ics modems.

Guys ive been busy. But ive tested further and just about all the roms for the epic touch work for our phones. Ive tested just about all of em. Even miui. Just dont flash anything stock and most definitely dont flash anything for the epic touch through odin to this phone.

Im at work rite now, but I plan on writing a full guide soon. If anyone beats me to it, I wont be mad ;)

Great job sir! I'd figure they'd work. Now all for the guide. Imma leave it to you since your instructions are clearer :laugh:
[Galaxy S II General] mrgonzodad:
Letting a Lithium Ion battery get to 100% depletion is bad for them, try to wait until you're down to 5% or less then charge. These newer batteries need to be "conditioned". After I upgraded to JB w/root, I let it get to 5%, turned it off, waited until 100% charge and then turned it back on. Another step that isn't necessary but helps (a lot IMO), is to let the phone boot up, turn off again, then charge until 100% one more time. This has helped my S2, and was a life saver with my Milestone X2 and old HTC Desire.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
I will try this tomorrow, thanks!

[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Say by looking at this seeing that the modems have to be ICS could I flash any of the other modems to test... Say, FI27? How would this affect our phones?
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
As far as I know, the worse thing that can happen is you don't get signal.

Try out slim bean man. Battery feels good. I've at least kept a strong 1 bar signal and haven't lost 3G. Calls seem to be stable in places I've dropped calls before.

Android tether

I kept seeing where T-Mobile(may be Cellular one) users have the same generic phone as we do, the SCH-R760, and were able to use the Android tether program. They rooted their phone, got titanium backup, and depending on what version they had either froze or uninstalled tether manager. Altell does not have a system file called that. What will work is to go to Wi-FiDirect Share 1.0. If you have the regular version of Titanium backup, backup the file, and then delete it. If you have the pro version just freeze it. Download the latest version of Android Tether. https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list. Then I changed the device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy S2. Checked "send Netd Max Client Cmd" and "WiFi- driver reload 2". From there you can turn on encryption and change the SSID if you want to. There are several other options to play with. This worked for me. Why driver reload 2 and not 1? Beats me but it works. I get on my Nook/tablet and surf all the time. Speed of course depends on your signal. So far I have only been able to stream Netflix a few places. Of course I have not tried many. Good luck. I hope it works. If you need a copy of the pro version let me know. I can email you a link.
[Galaxy S II General] mrgonzodad:
I'm on Alaska Communications, and the converter worked just fine but my MMS wasn't working. After fiddling for about a week I used the upgrade tool to back to stock and everything works fine. I'm bout to give it another whirl with the correct APN settings for my carrier, but I found these by searching with google. I might just go to one of the store fronts and copy them :P

Since using the CM10 alpha to get CWM on my phone, the earpiece volume issue came up. Even after going back to stock w/o root it was still there. I have been busy lately and haven't had time to figure out what I need to do to fix the problem, I was kinda hoping trying to flash a CM10.1 nightly would change things, I remember reading that builds prior to April 1 (? not sure, that just stuck in my memory) do not have that issue.

Has anyone else had the volume issue?
[Galaxy S II General] kenny_man_00:
I have a volume issue. In a call if the volume is only the second click up from the minimum sound it is so loud that you can't put it next to your ear. Speaker and Bluetooth have no sound to them as well. I tried the slim bean rom but lost 3g so i went back to stock. (I need to have data for work) When going back to stock that is when the problem came about.

Is that about the same issue you are having.

The thing that is bothering me is the earpiece volume/no speakerphone stuck after going back to stock, and stock w/root. I flashed WFTN, and it was working fine, except the volume problems persist. In my infinite wisdom I never got the APN settings before doing the ACPverter, so no data on the custom roms (regional carrier, so AllTell, USSC, CSpire converter scripts break data). Cue the violins.......
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Have you tried the dailer code, to see if you can adjust the volume? Not sure if it'll work on a custom ROM though, youll need to ask the dev that. Just Google or search XDA, there's a buttload of them. Not all will work on our phone.

I used Odin tool and the easy upgrade tool to flash stock and it boot up get to setup and then reboot then boot loop every time. Had to reload my back up just to get my phone on.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Why both? I'd just get the tar file from this topic and flash it with Odin. I never could get the tool to work, Odin done it in less than 10 min. Make sure if you have kies to kill the process trees, or it'll interfere with Odin. http://db.tt/EJNO8dWY

[Galaxy S II General] kenny_man_00:
Yea i have the stock file. I tried them both because they did the same thing. No matter what way i flashed it boot looped after getting to the setup screen.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Did ya try and do wipes/factory reset? I know it sounds crazy it being a factory image file.
[Galaxy S II General] mrgonzodad:
I had problems with odin 3.xxx, gave me boot loops too. 1.85 worked for me to fix the boot loops. IDK why, it just works better for me.

I quit trying the samsung upgrade tool. It work a couple of times, and would pause at 59% for a few minutes then get going again. Last time I used it it hung up at 59%.

The first repack Agat made gave me boot loops too, after working fine before. The latest version he has worked for me though. I'll try to post the link later.

Chicinwang - I haven't tried the dialer codes yet. I'll take a look and see if any work on GB28. IDK if they will work on Agat's repack.

[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Not FF24 that's the kernel for Gingerbread. GB28 is for JB.

Look several posts previous, u basically use Agat's kernel the flash an SU installer zip through recovery. U can run that kernel but it gives u the yellow triangle. To remove it just reflash the stock GB28 kernel. The kernels are flashed via Odin, the zip through Agats recovery. Hope this helps.
