Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but is it necessary to change the CSC after flashing this ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] HellRa1SeR:
I've been using LS8 + Siyah 6.0

Not getting great performance. No hangs/freezes but my battery drains pretty quickly.
[Galaxy S II General] SteveDC:
I flashed the official tar file from Sammobile (using Mobile Odin so as to keep root) . Backed up the stock kernel, flashed Dorimanx 7.45 just so that I could flash the ripple lock and 4 app shortcuts mods, and then used HC-kTool to restore the stock kernel.

I haven't had a single problem mentioned in this thread. I'm wondering if keeping it as close to stock as possible is the key.
[Galaxy S II General] onolox:
I've got a problem, I noticed that when scrolling the screen in any application, if I leave my finger still on the screen the screen starts to go up and down a millimeter, in a move of "shake or tremble".

Test ROM for sure.

I'm using now a LSJ based rom (disaster rom v7) and I'm very satisfied.

I'd like to try a new LS8 based rom.

Which one is better among so many cooked roms?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] Dexter_prog:
I've noticed that there is still battery drainage if wifi is left on all the time. With wifi set to turn itself off when the screen is turned off I have 0.4% battery drain in 2 hours (so far) with no bull****, and by that I mean:

- sync on 24/7 (who doesn't want sync?)

- facebook app (who doesn't use FB?)

- 3G/H on

etc
[Galaxy S II General] :
I don't think it's a test rom, because having a problem in official rom doesn't mean that it's a test rom, we've already seen that problem in the first jelly bean 4.1.1 for Galaxy S III which was rolled out for POLAND as the first country, then the issue of the battery drop solved for the other countries. I also think that the rolling out will be delayed a little for other countries like UK.

There is also an issue with the multitasking UI

Then reflashed, factory reset, then it works again till I did reboot and stuck again...

Now back to LSJ as this got so many feature removed like Smart Rotation...

Sammy should try to contact xda for testing purposes to check if there are bugs present on the rom....We have lot of developers here to help them....I think xda devs are better than samsung devs...Just my opinion... :)
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
From my experience so far with LS8 I have no major issues. No freezes, no loops. It does keep RAM a bit higher than the leaked JB though. And sometimes it seems less responsive and a bit laggy when zipping through menus. The battery life is generally the same, although the signal seems a bit stronger than the leak.

I'd go back to the leak, but I do like the fact that LS8 supposedly has the Exynos and brick bug issues fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
Use nova launcher, it's fast.
[Galaxy S II General] Diego F.:
Just to share another experience with LS8.

Before flashing LS8, I was with the leak LSJ. I did a full clean, flashing LPQ with all files + pit and then the last spanish FOP (4.0.3 LPG). Then I flashed the LS8 and I have no root, no mods, just pure stock.

The main problem to me is battery draining. 1 screen hour + 1 voice hour and I'm over. I'm reading about it and many people is stopping or deleting stock apps to gain more battery life.

Apart from that, the rom runs smoothly and I haven't detected any issues. Just today, I got a reboot, but I'm not sure if it's a problem with the Swiftkey beta keyboard I'm testing.
[Galaxy S II General] One B&G:
LS8 is stable enough for daily use.

Little bugs is normal because it was first

official JB for GS2.

Wait till march 3rd 2013!

Did you guys see this?

http://www.samsung.com/ua_ru/support/newsalert/view?spp_news_seq=43657

Ukrainian Samsung page says i9100 gets JB on March 3rd, 2013!

I guess they are giving Spaniards and XDA-ers sweet 2 months to test the ROM for the rest of people :)
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Quite puzzling... Some are getting great battery life, while some have serious battery drain while on JB. Wonder what's the issue? Hope it gets fixed in a later build.
[Galaxy S II General] colindodds:
I've flashed this rom ls8 totally stock no root or anything and no issues what so ever on uk sgs2 its wifes phone and she is completely happy with Rom so far
[Galaxy S II General] Lindexslp:
I started to wonder a bit when I tried the sofware update function from within the ROM, as it told me the firmware was manipulated and therefore could not be updated.

And then the battery usage, worse than what I had with the previous leak.

Even with Google Now and location services disabled and energy saver mode switched on I lost more than 4% of battery per hour over night with the phone doing nothing but being IMAP pushed on 3 accounts.

So I decided to give it a try and flashed back to 4.0.4. without any wipe.

Just installed ICS over JB using mobile odin.

What do I say - battery usage went down to under 1%/h idling over night, IMAP push sync still enabled.

I will stay with this ROM (BULPG, Vodafone Germany) until it gets its OTA.

Even if it's a bit stuttery in comparison, reliability for daily use is more important to me.
[Galaxy S II General] Jokesy:
Let's use logic here:

1.

- Samsung Ukraine is only responsible for Samsung devices in sold in Ukraine.

- Samsung Ukraine can only tell its customers when update will be available in their country, irrespective of whether the update is available in other countries/regions

- Samsung Ukraine will never post any info about devices not sold in their country, irrespective of whether those devices are eligible/slated for update or not by Samsung in other regions . Eg Galaxy S Duos

- Many of the devices listed on their website have already been updated in other regions.

$ Galaxy Advance is already on Jelly Bean in many countries

$ Galaxy Tab 8.9 is already on ICS in many countries

$ Galaxy s2 is already on Jelly Bean in Spain and China. Some other regions might even receive updates before Ukraine.

2.

-The fact that some people are having issues with an official ROM doesn't mean it's a beta firmware. Don't forget that some people are having issues with official 4.2 update from Google but does that make them beta testers?

- Some people will always have issues with a new update no matter how well the update is built.

- That's because New firmwares will always come with its own bugs, irrespective of the OS/Manufacturer

- Many of my friends that updated to LS8 based on my recommendation, all agree that it was a better built firmware than ICS

Sorry for any typo/bad grammar!
[Galaxy S II General] go.george:
Come on.. It's not the ROOT that makes the rom unstable nor this is a test rom. LS8 is very stable, smooth and almost the best thing that samsung has given us for the sg2 so far. Even the battery, considering that JB has a lot of extra features, is not bad at all.

The problem in this and other relevant threads is that people update over their previous roms (especially those of CM) without proper procedures like the factory reset and then report a hell bunch of problems, which they would not encounter if they updated from cm 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.2, apparently....

On the other hand, there is a rush to flash custom kernels. Put in mind that those kernels were not designed for LS8 at first place. And the result? Give perfect benchmarks and good battery stats, HOWEVER they also give plenty of bugs and FCs; and in generel the smoothness of jellybean is lost ex ante. That's the why the closest to official LS8 kernel do not show so many bugs.

Concluding, I mean that the LS8 alone itself, without any mods and custom things is great. I have fully tested and never got a serious force close or a lag or a bug that repetitively occurs. And I am coming from foxhound rom which was one of the most stable roms out there.

So before you flash your favorite kernel wait for it to be built on LS8. I also miss BLN but each and every kernel that I flashed caused many bugs for the time being with worst problem the lack of JB smoothness. Now I have just rooted the official rom with its kernel and I can wait for a kernel that will be actually as good as the official.

Btw, if you remove the bloatware you will save a lot of battery, not to mention all jb and samsung tricks (like motion b*****t) should be turned of. The roms that you were used to having had already gotten rid of all that stuff...

Just one thing to add - if this was a "test" firmware, will Spain get another firmware (4.1.what??) after the "official" starts rolling out to other countries massively? I don't think so...

C:\fastboot\*the files from the download*

Connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader and select fastboot (you should see in red FASTBOOT USB)

Then you right click inside that fastboot folder and open a command prompt, and on that prompt you type just like Matt said

Fastboot erase cache

Now try to enter the recovery :thumbup:

but still, I get unexpected crashes even in the recovery, my phone just crashed in the middle of recovery while i was trying to wipe the ROM. And its bricked again

Yes it should protect your phone. That image of a missing corner is just CGI showing how the case looks if cut (so that you can see the material and thickness). This will fully cover your phone and keep the nice back of your Nexus visible. ;)

The best protection is to be careful. Was a case guy until last week when I got a dbrand skin and took the case off. Was reminded how gorgeous this phone is, now I can't case it up any longer. SGP on the front, dbrand on the back, I'll take my chances!

I am waiting for my norêve leather case, witch may be expensive, but it is handcrafted real leather, with a design that pay attention to every single detail (take a look to the many reviews at YouTube, for other models (I couldn't find a video review for the nexus 4 version yet)). It should keep the phone safe, and protect the screen while in your pocket.

Anyway, I think a case is needed, but don't think the phone is that fragile as some people try to convince us. Right, there are two glasses instead of one, but that's all... They are gorilla glass so they are pretty much hard.

[Galaxy Camera Accessories] RavenY2K3:
Edit: Mini Review.

The case came this morning, the quality is just about the same as every other TPU Case I've owned, which is good.... isn't anything to scream about, just good lol. It came with a screen protector too which is always a nice extra.

It adds just what I wanted, a bit of protection from light scratches, I didn't want anything bulky like a pouch or those leather cases that are on sale on eBay, as having it locked up in one of those, would defeat one of the reasons I wanted it, the purpose of having it easily accessible to take quick snaps. If I wanted bulky, I would just stick with one of my full frame DSLR's.

It looks real nice when installed and does add a bit more friction when handling it so gives you a bit more grip.

The only problem I can see, is the fit isn't perfect, it's like the lip that goes around the screen needs to be a tad thicker.

That's not to say it's loose or anything, it's firmly in place and not going anywhere. But to a degree, to think these things, this cheap, are going to be without some caveats, would be a foolish thing to assume.

--------------------------------------------------

I've just found these on eBay, not sure they've been available, but I've been checking every couple of days and they weren't available the last time I looked.

Just ordered a Blue one, will let everyone know what it's like when it arrives, unless someone gets a review in before me.

Comes with a screen protector too, which is a nice addition.
