This update is comparatively laggy. ram usage has also increased. .. it is not smooth as 4.1.2.. thinking to revert back to 4.1.2. Although antuta benchmark improves to 10260 but it is not smooth:(
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Luuk1808:
Try to remove some bloatware (e.g using Root Uninstaller). I'm often experiencing this because I'm restoring apps from a backup. After some app updates my phone usually becomes as smooth as before the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] affan848:
I tried turning off some unnecessary apps but performance is same.. kindly provide me root method for this rom so I may uninstall bloatware

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Luuk1808:
This is the method:

Rename this file from .tar.md5 to .tar before flashing, then put your phone into download mode (Volume

DOWN

+ Home + Power button while turned off)

After this, download zip here: http://download.chainfire.eu/204

Put it on your SD card, boot into recovery (Volume

UP

+ Home + Power button), update from zip, choose this zip and you're rooted.

Forgot to say that you have to flash with Odin after putting your phone into download mode ;)

Debloat + some speedup scripts like xtreme performance mod or direct injection and crossbreeder = super smooth for me

Are you sure ? Others are not complaining

Does the stock video player works ?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] affan848:
Yes I am sure it is not smooth.. Yes stock player works fine.. I think few more updates will bring betterment
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] djeagle:
No ... not working... only the videos filmed with phone works ...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Domas44:

Everything works and yes it's not super smooth.

The biggest smoothness difference between 4.1.2. and 4.2.2. I have noticed is that when the page loads IT REALLY LOADS and stutters. When the page is loaded it does not stutter at all and you can scroll super smooth. In 4.1.2. this difference was smaller since it stuttered both on loading the pages and scrolling loaded pages. However, the apps feel much faster.

thanks to this topic and members updated to 4.2.2 and runs smooth (even i fell smoother) but there is three question for me.

according to samsung update live (sorry i can't post urls) there is a kernel update, can it be flashed to a unrooted device which it's bootloader is locked and why should someone update kernel(is there any benefits in that)?

3.have you noticed poor performance of camera (image) it's like 5MP and it captures slightest shakes or i'm just imagining that?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Domas44:
dada

Camera seems fine to me. Yeah, what about that Kernel update guys, any thoughts from experts/senior members? I have non-rooted I9105P here also.

After updating to Android 4.2.2, during the first boot, Android was adjusting the apps to Android 4.2.2. Because I was stupid and used a backup tool that restored the apk files as well, some apps crashed. After reinstalling and then restoring only the data, everything was ok. But now the memo app crashes as well. Since it is not downloaded from the Play Store, I cannot fix this. I was wondering whether I could make Android adjust the apps to Android 4.2.2 again without having to reinstall Android 4.2.2.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Domas44:
thoulari must

Great! The kernel update (minor thou) is at samsung live update page. I just flashed it using the same process via Odin/PDA etc. Hope it will reduce the stutter.

EDIT: Lol, I am not usually suseptible to placebo effect, but I was testing g+ app before and after kernel update and it seems 50% less stuttering. All other apps are flying. I guess small changes can go long ways (Prometheus lol).
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] OurJerry:
The kernel is identical to the kernel in the new rom. It's just the kernel from the new rom. there are no changes, you can compare them with a file comparer they are 100% identical.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ttooffyy:
i've been using the firmware for about 20 hours, daily usage ( facebook , whatsapp, music player , web browsing on chrome ,even video player seens great ...) no stuttering till now , the most difference i liked was the Antutu benchmark i got 10194 where back on 4.1.2 i couldn't go beyond 9500 . the battery life is clearly increased about 40% , i used to take my phone from charger at the morning and by the night i have low battery warning, i was surprised to see the battery still have 45% at midnight . tonight am willing to root and install CWM hope it works perfect as the firmware

ps: i completely wiped the phone and the cache from recovery before flashing i believe this helped getting everything in place while flashing and getting this improvements .

just wanted to share my thoughts with u, wish u good luck guys .
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] djeagle:
so there is no need to flash the kernel from Samsung Updates ... right ?

Hey friends, POWER SAVING MODE works perfect in 4.2.2. I know why you guys are complaining about P.S. you had been thinking

that P.S makes your phone slower in 4.1.2 BUT not in 4.2.2. ACTUALLY SAMSUNG HAS IMPROVEDD THIS FEATURE BY DEDUCTING

lag and making it much far stable for phone's performance. I WATCHED A REVIEW OF SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 on youtube and there i found the

same situation with S4. P.S mode works same on s4 like ones on our phone. So, don't worry about it. ITS GREAT :good:

Hey guys , a goodie news.

Samsung has added one more phone in their new 4.2.2 update's lineup.

The phone which is blessed with 4.2.2 is samsung galaxy grand.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] corduroy84:
Maybe it's the things you run on your phones that affect the performance while on Power Saving Mode.

E.g, if you play games, watch movies or heavy multitasking while on Power saving, definitely you'd experience lags and all. And it will drain your battery more and heat up because the CPU is stressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] sandy99707:
yes on 4.2.2 power saving mode works great

Hello, yesterday my wife said she couldn't send messages etc so I looked at her phone and I noticed she is on G instead of 4G and its dropping to nothing or G. Any suggestions why? Stock phone....

If nobody did anything to the phone and it went to G then it is a network issue, and after a while it will return to normal.

Otherwise, undo what was done recently to return to previous state.

Hi Guys,

I recently did the full conversion to GE using the RUU, everything went fine, no error appeared during the conversion, the device is working fine...

Except i can't access the recovery.

I reboot into the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader and then launch the recovery from there. The device is rebooting into recovery but after a while it shows the android logo with a red error triangle.

Any clue ? Can i flash the recovery considering i already made a full conversion ?

The device is S-OFF and Bootloader is in "RELOCKED" state.

Hello all!!

So I managed to wipe my entire system and data via twrp. I'll be honest, i haven't flashed anything new on my phone in a long time and i completely forgot a lot of what i learned when it came to all of this. I'm looking at ADB sideloading a rom to get my phone somewhat working but i cannot get it to start in my recovery. twrp also cannot mount my sd which has (or had, depending on if my sd card was wiped in my rush to update my rom. My money is on that :crying: ) my latest back up and had my working rom .zip.

I know i will be heckled to hell because of this.. But i'm in desperate need of help. I'm still searching around the forums/internet for some salvation, but it doesn't hurt to get some help here. ..Right?

Any help is much appreciated!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Can you boot into download mode? If so, use odin to flash the stock firmware and go from there.

If not can you use adb shell to load a different recovery? Maybe cwm will mount the sd.

Adb shell dd if=/path/to/new/recovery of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Going by memory so verify the cmd first, though I'm pretty sure its right. I do know mmcblk0p18 is the recovery partition for the T999, so that part I know is good. Just be careful as getting this wrong will brick your phone.

If you can, use odin as I mentioned above. Everything you need is in my signature.

---------- Post added at 05:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------

Also, before going any further, make sure you're in the right forum. This one is for the T999 and variants only. If your model is different you're in the wrong place.

Otherwise, disregard this.

maybe you could try a full connections reset, by going into the o2active interface, then on the tools icon under the news icon, click that and tap connections, this should bring you to the setup screen, select what you would select, and then try that, if this problem sstarted after installing msn mobile, uninstall it and see if that helps, also do you have the latest messenger update from microsoft website?

Similar problem on Galaxy S GT I9000, MORE DETAILS given

Hello,

I have a problem with EFS Professional. I searched the development thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546) and googled it as well. Although some solutions were offered my problem is not solved. I am not a complete newbie but not an expert either, so maybe I have a really simple issue here?

I am simply trying to backup the EFS partition on Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000.

The problem in short:

1.	All seems to be well on welcome tab.

2.	While running the backup, I get “Unable to read PIT file!” and the process stops.

3.	If I run it again it skips the PIT file part saying “Skipped, already exists.” And then a popup shows saying “unable to create archive!”

4.	Note: a tar.gz file is actually created and placed in a new EFSProBackup folder on the phone under /mnt/sdcard. The size of this file is only 29 Bytes and I think its basically an empty file).

Note that I did change my Busybox to version 1.20.0.git (but not 1.20.0 if it makes any difference?) as was suggested).

Can anyone help?
