I agree with PanchoPlanet. Use one of the GB08 roms if you want everything to work properly. Calkulin's EL29 v3.0 is an outstanding GB rom, but it just isn't the same as JB.

I use Touched By SG SIII by g_dling84 with GB All In One Mod by tdunham and I have zero problems.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
My only suggestion, any of the GB08 JB ROMs. Why? Because of Google Now and the latest version of TouchWiz really makes this phone look and feel like a GS3.

I will not suggest any specific ROM, they are all great.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
First off, asking for the BEST rom is like asing for an ETA on here, we just don't do it. That being said I might as well go for an IB4TL...

I will go as far as telling you there are only 3 setups I found that my wife likes AND are quality products that she never has to worry about little nag things. I will not say one is better than the other but all are different enough that you would need to try all of them in order to make an informed decision... I highly suggest you read and ask specific questions in each of these threads. One thing I can tell you is all three of these devs are rock solid players that really take care of the user.

- Baked Blackbean

- Paranoid Android

- Wild For The Night

- PAC in Black

- AOKP

- SlimBean

- Vanilla RootBox

- MotoBlur'd

They were all excellent:)

But I finally settled down with the XPERIAnceZen Rom:D

Those two posts are exactly why we don't condone these posts. There are many great developers here in E4GT land and these threads support favoritism/fan boy type of posts.

Read the OP for the ROMs, check the bugs list, read user comments. Then decide for yourself.

I have the Galaxy S2 T989 on TMobile.

So my question is, with this custom rom:

h t t p : / / wccftech . c o m /install-aokp-jbmr1android-422-jelly-bean-build-4-tmobile-galaxy-s2-sght989/

Can you do multi-window view?

It wouldn't let me post a link so I put spaces inbetween. Rest assured members, I will get my 10 posts; I've been monitoring this forum for a while, just never signed up until I was the one in need of help :D

Thank you very much.

Thats a big no buddy, at the moment no rom supports multi window for the t989 , would be nice but even if there were some it wouldn't be this rom, it's a touchwiz feature and this is asop

[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Hay hay hay....

During MIUI5 development I discovered that the M2 ROM has a new version of the DalvikVM libraries and binaries. My ROM's based on Jellyzeus currently use a "Build 27", which AFAIK is the default version in 4.1.2. I found that the M2 is Build 28, and also seems to have qualcomm optimization.

This does not seem to have any speed increase, but it does make that dalvik generation on startup (the "Optimising app # of #" screen) much much faster. It might also have other improvements (e.g. apps install faster), I have not noticed anything else yet though.

Please test it on other Jellybean ROM's. It might require an update of the VMRuntime code in core.jar, not sure. If someone could make a ROM backup and flash it, let me know how it goes. Reported working on other JB ROM's. It should trigger a dalvik regen on startup, and you will see the speed difference. I have not compared the actual size of dex files before and after the mod, they should be similar though.

Jellybean only. ICS/GB will bootloop. No, it cannot be ported to ICS or GB.

Cheers!

Well I flashed the tweak on PAC ROM and It does makes a difference in optimizing at the start...it loaded 113 apps in about a minute....I'm sure it made a difference because I had to wipe dalvik before I found this tweak and it took a lot longer than a minute to load apps
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Cool stuff, good to know it works on other JB ROM's.

I did not compare the size of dalvik-cache though before and after the tweak, so I don't know if it's any different.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hardtron:
Yep...I saw this in R3-AOKP too.

BUT...now several apps are fc......
[Xperia Play Android Development] cippi21:
I'll compare and let u know

Edit: what cache u want to compare the dalvik is saved in two places....in cache/dalvik cache and data/dalvik cache...or are they the same thing?...never did this before so don't know which one

Anyway this is the before and after

Before the tweak cache 341mb after the tweak 340mb...slight difference
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Odd, havent had a single FC here. Must be incompatible.

If you're on Turbo Kernel yeah they are both the same. Cool, good to know.

There is probably source code available to those registered on the Qualcomm Developer Network, it's not made by MIUI and these files appear in other newer QCOM devices too.

I been running into some weird problems, and I'm not sure what's causing it so just wondering if anyone can help me out a little here.

I been keeping up with the cm10.1 updates and mortez kernels, but only since couple days ago. It started acting really weird.

1) I notice the files that are created on external are often corrupted. Like back ups or copies of the ROM I dl.

2) sometimes the reception bars shows that I have no reception bar at all,but if I changed it to text then change it back, it turns back to normal.

I fully wiped/reinstall the the phone at least 5 times already, but situation isn't getting any better, tried different radios and kernels and is still the same.

Any helps will be great,thanks in advance

You probably have a bad external sd card. They do go bad sometimes

Pretty much all in the title, my Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 was charging while I was doing some school work. I look down and the boot screen saying "Samsung Galaxy SII" so I look back up, I'm used to my phone restarting here and there (probably not a good thing..) so I just ignored it and looked back down because I was checking to see if my ride was ready or not and it was just showing "Samsung Galaxy SII" and it'd go to a black screen, and restart the process all over again.

I looked for any other people having the same problem, but I think I'm the only one on AT&T that has. One guy with T-Mobile had the same issue and he said that constantly pushing the button would work, I tried that and it still didn't work, so I don't know what to do.

Anyone have any ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
There are a lot of them. If that's the road you choose to take, try a few and see which ones meet your needs. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The problem could be either firmware related (more likely) or hardware related (less likely.) First, boot into recovery mode and perform a wipe data/factory reset. With the phone off, hold all three of vol- vol+ and power buttons continuously until it boots into recovery.

If that does not clear the problem, then as suggested try flashing one of the stock packages using Odin. If you want root at the same time, flash one of the stock plus root packages. There is little risk of completely bricking your phone as long as you read first, understand the steps, and use the correct firmwares.

See the links in my sig, and the stickies in these forums to guide you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zZSleepyZz:
Tried recovery mode today and now when I boot I still get boot loop, then if I try going back to recovery it says "Deleting System Meta Data". I'm still on 2.3 update by the way, which pack do I need, the UCKH7 or UCKH6? I'm going to do the stock +root packages, I just need to run to get a data cable tomorrow.

Do I need to do anything extra since I have the "Deleting System Meta Data" or can I still flash with stock FW +root Kernel?

Thanks guys for your help by the way!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Deleting cryption meta data is a little difficult to get past, but it can be done. See this post for a way to fix it, maybe.

Were you able to do the wipe data/factory reset as suggested? Or what do you mean by "tried recovery mode today?"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zZSleepyZz:
Like, I held down Volume Up/Down and the power button and got the menu where it asked me if I wanted to "wipe data/factory reset" or "clear cache partition" and another option, I clicked "wipe data/factory reset" and now I get "Deleting Cryption Meta Data".

I just made this harder didn't I? Aha..

The only menu I can actually do anything with now looks like this..

(This isn't my phone, just an example of the screen.)

Is this where I'm going to have to go to when I begin to load the Binaries? I got to this screen by holding Volume Down + Power for about 3 seconds

hey guys,

First I tired clean cache then dalvik cache bit no success and then i tried factory reset as well and thats when I see the problem that it wouldn't let me. Its says unable to mount data <invalid argumant>. I read some of xda threads that If I install stock rom again via Odin it would come back to my original state and i did that. After successful flash of stock rom with Odin I was hopeful that it would solve my problem but it wouldn't and it kept getting stuck on "Samsung Galaxy s2" black boot screen and is in bootloop. I thought my kernel might have meesed up and so i installed siyah kernel, it would let me come out of black boot screen but now next it would hung on Siyah logo startup screen. I can still go to CWM recovery mode and can install any rom and clean the cache or dalvik cache but the problem is with /data, it just stuck on formatting /data infinitely.

I would really appreciate any help which could lead me to fix my device.

did i fully brick it i have a back up of everything before i did this
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dxwilliams40:
If the installation aborted, then there is probably no rom to run assuming that you wiped the system. Try the 3 button combo to get into recovery. Home+volume up +power.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Michael503:
If none of the buttons work, you can buy (or making if you are handy) a "jib" I hope I'm spelling that right.

Anyway, I saw in a youtube vid that you can make one, plug it into the charge port and get back into the phone even if the buttons do not work.

Looks like a micro usb connector with a resistor soldered across 2 of the leads

Failing that, then yes, you'll probably have to pay a professional.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
That's called a jig.

As had been said, try recovery again. Vol up + home + power. Release the power button as soon as you get a vibrate (and possibly see blue text in the top left corner).

I'm in the same boat as you, I got excited as I was installing and testing different ROMs for the first time.....until I got to one called Foxhound which is an international ROM on my at&t S3 and bricked it. I can't get into CWM or Download Mode. I plugged my phone into the PC and Odin won't recognize it. I already ordered and received the USB Jig off ebay and it still didn't work. The only option is to send it in for JTAG repair or you can play dumb and go back to your carrier if your still under the 1yr warranty, that's if your ok with replacement refurb phones which I'm not. I read somewhere else someone having the same issue and they had to send it in for JTAG repair when the USB jig didn't work.
