[Galaxy S II General] celderic:
I have removed many apps. And am using philz root kernel. Was using the stock launcher. But then after I made a folder on the homescreen for games they didnt display properly in the folder after a few hours. Almost like the folder was for a different reaoloution screen. I forgot to take a screenshot. And sometimes the lockscreen stays on for a few seconds after you push the power key

Using apex launcher and is very smooth. Havnt found any significant bugs.

Just wish I could change the toggles in the status bar.
[Galaxy S II General] Pilaf:
try galaxy sim unlock V1 apk

it works
[Galaxy S II General] xThommy:
its not work!

i have try it....

unfreeze 69592057

but not work.
[Galaxy S II General] LTFearless:
Ok so after about an hour of using, I can feel the difference. Much more smoother than ICS, although the lock screen can sometimes be unresponsive, but its not a serious problem. Other than that I don`t see any drawbacks. Project butter is really there!

Thanks OP!
[Galaxy S II General] iamflamez:
i could deal with the lockscreen bug, but been having continuous problem with no data coming through my wifi all day, if i cant fix it then im going back to my old rom. i keep missing notifications even though the icon shows my data working it is not.

you guys think this is kernal or rom related? If kernal then i may wait for dorimanx...
[Galaxy S II General] Pilaf:
:eek: mine apk doesn't give me any code...

search in google: galaxsimunlockV1.apk

it's not galaxy-s-unlock
[Galaxy S II General] Farmfield:
I dunno how many times this has been discussed but if so, here it is again.

Root for this ROM:

1. Flash Philz kernel (using the tar) in Odin - gives you recovery.

2. Boot into recovery & reflash Philz kernel (using the zip) - gives you root (through SuperSU)

Bonus step 2.1. Install Root Uninstaller & de-bloat the absolute $h!7 out of it.

Bonus step 2.2. Buy Holo Locker ($2) from Play Store to get AOSP JB lockscreen.

3. Press thanks-button or flame me to hell for repeating carp everyone knows about. :D

[Galaxy S II General] D33PO:
Doh! Bricked my phone big time by using the flashable zip mentioned earlier in this thread (SGSII-JB-Stock.zip). Not sure what happened, but ended up with the message "logo.jpg draw failed". :crying:

[Galaxy S II General] peluillo:
Can i use rom toolbox to change dpi without risk?
[Galaxy S II General] Farmfield:
The .zip does, the .tar just includes cwm. There are other ways but for me it was a fast solution, flashing the tar with Odin and then flashing the zip in recovery...

And about 'safe' - during 2 months of messing about with CM10 and being active in the main thread for 1500 pages, I've yet to hear about someone bricking their phone. So no, it's not safe, but imo on a level where risk is basically negligible. But no, not safe. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ohwarumbloss:
For root I used the attached file, just copy it to the root of your sd card and install with stock recovery. It worked for me.

If you have root access you can fix that.

With root explorer browse to: /mnt/.lfs

Look for a file named something like: Log0.jpg or L0go.jpg

Copy it somewhere on you sd card and rename it to logo.jpg

Copy back to /mnt/.lfs

Reboot

A composite de-bloating screenshot... :)

And yes, there's ton's of live wallpapers & widgets yet to freeze, but just wanted to post what's safe to freeze to the newbies - that said, not sure you'd want to freeze all this though, it all depends of course...

Edit: DSMLawmo is an interesting one. Some googeling suggests it's a remote lock- & wipe app. The question is - for use by the user through Samsung's account thingie or for service operators? Foil hat on people! :D
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
Restart pc?
[Galaxy S II General] D33PO:
Actually, I can. What should I do?
[Galaxy S II General] michal_alton:
If I may add my 5 cents:

- Flashed with mobile odin (using modem and code.. - no csc file), ticked: wipe data/cash and root.

All went smooth, no problems what so ever. Phone running very smooth. I mean it. Never had such a smooth phone before, it's like a new device. Root was present. Didn't change kernel.

- Changed dpi to 180 via LCD Density Modder and phone developed bootloop. Had to do factory reset via CWM (apparently my phone doesn't have eMMC brickbug as stated in 'eMMC brickbug check') so managed to do full wipe in CWM.

- Flashed again via Odin 1.85 using 3 downloaded files, booted up well, flashed Phils kernel - and phone lost smoothness. Swapping screens was not so smooth as before, no root access, had to flash Super User to get root.

- Flashed again 2 files via mobile odin - just as before (ticked wipe, root, 2 downloaded files - no csc), kept Samsung kernel. After boot root is present, my beloved sg2 is flying again.

I really like new features and new TW. Well done Samsung. For me - best update ever!
[Galaxy S II General] D33PO:
Cheers, but the whole point is: I can't boot my phone, let alone I can start root explorer. Thanks for your concern though... :(
[Galaxy S II General] Lupin The Third:
I did'nt get that sorry. But if you can boot in dl mode than reflash (with odin) :) all the best
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Lol, for sure you're really on the hardcore side. Gmail, keyboard, wifi direct etc bloat? :silly:
[Galaxy S II General] TheATHEiST:
Just go back into recovery or download mode and re-flash or restore a rom. Just because a rom doesnt boot doesnt mean your device is "bricked" like so many n00bs call it.
[Galaxy S II General] :
had that when i restored from recovery
[Galaxy S II General] tyler78:
Now, I restarted the phone manually. It said start the recovery in Kies. So I put the phone in download mode again and this time it said: "Can't open the serial(COM) port."
[Galaxy S II General] :
i should make a warning as it isn't fully working.
[Galaxy S II General] D33PO:
I consider myself a n00b alright ;) Nonetheless, I have some experience with flashing and f*cked up my phone before. But I never saw this 'logo.jpg draw failed' message really.

I'll try to 'Odin' my way through – thanks for your concern again, appreciate it.
[Galaxy S II General] Bombhills:
Oh, I hope this solves the wifi freeze problem I have been struggling with since ICS. Since I have Zero knowledge of flashing etc, I think I'll have to wait until the official release. Is flashing hard? seems complicated...

Btw, anyone who had the wifi freeze that got ut fixed this way? (or maybe someone knows another way)

Thanks!:fingers-crossed:

Edit: Maybe, someone can write a basic guide how to flash this rom for us noobs who don't have a clue about .Pit or whatever? That would be so awesome. (I know how cumbersome it is to have us all posting the same noob-posts again and again, maybe this would solve that problem too)

Use an external SD card to flash chainfire zip to get root

[Galaxy S II General] NanoSurfer:
How do you know this bro? Has anyone been bricked by this firmware yet? I strongly believe that Samsung have changed something (despite the fact that the kernel still has mmc_cap_erase enabled) because think about it, this problem surfaced a few months back with Samsung even acknowledging that this was a problem. Surely a company in their right mind would not allow a problem to continue knowing that they could do something about it by simply tweaking the firmware? They replaced plenty of motherboards free of charge (to most) which would amount to a fair bit of cash loss for them and not to mention they needed to do something about stopping people from bad mouthing the brand.

I simply cant see how they would allow the carnage of their devices to carry on if all it meant was simply disabling mmc_cap_erase which any clown can do. Yet they have not done this so surely something else must have been changed??

Just adding my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S II General] 8thphloor:
yes here it works. u must flag smart stay in settings 》screen.

Stock recovery don't affect the mmc_cap_erase "bug"

its isn't a "bug" if you are using a stock recovery, its more to a "bug" if you use a custom recovery as something have been changed in samsung recovery that doesn't affect the mmc_cap_erase "work" but the custom recovery did.

if you wiped with a stock recovery, samsung was made sure by that.

i wiped 4.0.4 and wiped 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 and still haven't got any brick

and yet i got the emmc brick bug.

And I did state, maybe people don't wanna disable all of the carp I do, but they know it's safe... (and I actually disable about 20 more things now so, hehe)
[Galaxy S II General] :
the notification drawer is black, but the bar is dark grey/light black
[Galaxy S II General] spelaben:
I actually prefer the new grayish style.

So far only two annoying points I noticed and that's a) the unresponsive lockscreen sometimes, and b) the messed up dialer when you change dpi.

Why is it just this particular app resizing so ugly? :D

IMO this is still pretty damn stable for being not even an official release. Anyone else has the theory izap is some Samsung guy using us to beta test the new ROM and gather feedback? Got to admit, the idea is awesome!

Thats not true according to entropy's thread on the bug. You could wipe 1000 times and brick on 1001 even on stock recovery. Read here....stock recovery safer but not safe...it IS possible

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633938

No one has confirmed the kernels are patched by samsung. Entropys post in the link a few posts back says it MAY be.

So were down to hacked making it safe. Hence stock kernel and recovery IS dangerous until a safe kernel flashed. I saw entropy and phil have a discussion about whether even this method makes it totally safe but ive not heard of any bricks on hacked bug fix kernels.
