Cant see any files or folders in Mobile Odin

Hi can somebody tell me why I cant find any files or folders when I select the "Internal SD Card" or "External SD Card" option in Mobile Odin. All I get is a blank screen. Now this is restricting me to select any file to flash.

Btw, another question what file versions are supported by mobile odin?

thanks.

Cm11 by infected is the biz! Brilliant rom, pretty much stable (some issues with video camera but simply sideload another zip and job done). Dec 7th release pretty good.

kitkat is good with a running art use slimkat or carbon rom or Omni rom:cowboy:

is this cm11 base or aosp base? does art run on this rom?

I think a bug fix..on 4.4.1
[Galaxy S II General] mareers:
Worry not.. Guess you have good KitKat ROMs coming up for I9100 as well! :good:
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
True :)

My experience has been much better than 4.1.2/4.2.2/4.3 Jellybean based roms

The early Kitkat builds have been so much good and I can expect better development for i9100
[Galaxy S II General] spectator123:
I think SlimSaber (@fusionjack) is the best kitkat custom rom for i9100 so far. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Caproid:

I'm using Omni 4.2.2, already tried Cyanfox and Mokee. For me Omni have the best battery performance and have the active display working like a charm. The only issue is with the music players (tried MusicxMatch, google music, apolo and Shuttle) they just crash (not fc) after playing some musics. Sometimes I go to Home and settings to close the app. But, sometimes, I have to reboot de phone. Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

Sorry for my bad english!! :p

S2 Kernel

Boss which kernel giving more battery life...?

Dorimanx or siyah??
[Galaxy S II General] turboblaz:
I don't think that siyah supports 4.4.2 roms but dorimax is really good for beta stage. I suggest you to try it on your own and report here :)
[Galaxy S II General] LEECH161:
Jump from 4.1.2 - 4.4 (4.4.2 - now) - much more better battery life and performance, hate this ideology about non upgradable phones.

Dorimax is not stable at 4.4.2

Siyah is really not available

Hi all,

After some weeks with Omnirom, very satisfying experience!

However, I am currently trying to troubleshoot my NFC issues with KitKat...and so tried another Rom, just to see...

And Since this afternoon I am on beanstalk...quite amazing!

Seems to be very stable, a lot of customization possibilities!

It replaces many and many customization apps, for really appreciable details that make the android experience better.

Unfortunately, the NFC troubleshooting is going-on...if you guys have experienced the same issues by updating to KitKat, feel free to share your method!

Bluetooth problems with in car handsfree kit

Hi there,

I'm having massive bluetooth problems with my Galaxy S2 and "milaq's unofficial CyanogenMod 11.0 nighties" paired to an in car handsfree kit (Volkswagen Golf 6 PQ35 with genuine bluetooth preparation)! The sound with most of the outgoing calls is distorted - some outgoing calls will begin with good sound quality, but the sound distortion will often appear after some minutes. Curiously I haven't recognized any problems with incoming calls ..

I've also tried a different in car handfree kit (Volkswagen Golf 7 MQB with genuine bluetooth preparation), but the sound problems are the same here! In fact there are bluetooth disconnections all the time and sometimes sudden reboots of the GT-I9100 after establishing a bluetooth connection - so it's even worse!

CM 11.0 was flashed with "full wipe" and "clear (dalvik) cache"! Existing pairings were deleted on both sides every time after flashing a new nightly for exchanging new or changed profiles! There are no such problems on CM 10.1.3 stable and last CM 10.2 nightly on the GT-I9100.

Also tried the old GT-I9000 (Galaxy S) with the official CM 11.0 nightly and there are no problems either, so I think it's a problem in the bluetooth implementation of the CM 11.0 for the GT-I9100 (Galaxy S2)..

Bye,

Ollie

[Galaxy S II General] OllieW:
Hi again,

most recent official CM11 nightly (25022013) is working perfectly, but formerly mentioned bluetooth problems still exist on GT-I9100 Samsung Galaxy S2.

Battery life is great and even ART runtime is running smooth now - on former nightlies the performance was very slow sometimes!

Any change that the bluetooth bug with outgoing calls will be fixed in future? Perhaps it only happens with newest modem (I9100XXMS4) - nobody here with the same problems (sound distortion with outgoing calls with activated bluetooth handsfree profile)?

Bye,

Ollie

Hello

I faced these bugs while trying CyanogenMod 11 and SlimKat, both 4.4.2. In my phone the music stops after every 10~15 min followed by a heavy batery drain after this. Since I use my phone as mp3 player at least for 3 hours/day, I was kinda of forced to move back to 4.2.2.

This bugs seems related to FUSE Daemon, which is a kinda of drive that controls SD Card, internal and external. Several posts was made about this bug, but unfortunately, no developer has fixed it yet.
[Galaxy S II General] ilmoro93:
Thank you for the info! Now at least I know it's a common problem. I'm trying cyanogenmod 11(snapshot) at this moment: I've listened music for an hour and I experienced only a little lag for a few seconds, but no stop.

Is there any chance that the lights of the "context key" and the "back key" will be turned on after new notifications? This behavior is used on official CM11 nightly with the GT-I9000 (Galaxy S), but it's not working on official CM11 nightly with the GT-I9100 (Galaxy S2)..

This feature is BLN (Backlight Notification) and you can activate it with some kernel, probably the Dorimanx one.

[Galaxy S II General] OllieW:
Thank you for this information! But why is this a special feature only activated in some kernels? The official CM11 kernel of every GT-I9000 (Galaxy S) nightly has the BLN feature out of the box..

The BLN is Kernel dependent. So, no Samsung ROM will have it.

Dorimanx, Sihya, Apolo and so on have it...

Let me corect you ....

The BLN is Kernel dependent.------ Yes of corse

So, no Samsung ROM will have it. ----maybe samsung kernel (not rom) but apolo is a samsung based kernel so you are wrong

[Galaxy S II General] ahmedelhofy:
waking the device is the same as stock for me

Never had any freezes, only on some games "Real Racing 3, and a few others" the whole device freeze and that's because of the samsung drivers I know

Battery on stock unrooted official without power saving mode on, is quite similar to cyanogenmod on my device

and concerning pics quality, I don't care about the camera anyway

News say that 4.4 will be extremely "butter", bloat-free and also running on all devices.

I'm not quietly sure that this will happen, but it would be amazing.
[Galaxy S II General] Tivolijr:
They said it was a mistake (the invitation). I thik defintly not getting official 4.4 for the S2 but if the specifications are like advertised somebody will port it in no time. Some rumors talk about a 3.10 kernell.
[Galaxy S II General] burtallicus:
ofcorse they dont forgot but is not worth for them to keep it running..... why waste money on optimizing a software on a hardware that is not producing income for them.

Samsung as the rest are hardware manufacturers.....that is the main interest to sell more hardware.

ofcorse our S2 will run kitkat and am sure it will run even android 5 (whatever his name will be), but no one at this point is not investing in optimizing the soft....they just throw more ram and more cores at it and say the next version will not run unless you have a bilion cores under the hood or a bilion rams

As we can all see there are old laptops and computers that still run win 7 or 8 at decent speeds even though they are 4-5-6 years old.

remember intel and amd in early 2000? racing to how will be first to 1ghz mark then who has the more cores and stuff .....but now they realized that software cannot keep up with they race and they slow it down focusing on more important parts as power savings and efficiency.

how many games and apps for the regular user will use 4 core or 8 ? how many application are natively coded to x64?

same was for video cards ....for example they offered support for dx 9.0c (for example) but by the time 9.0c was actually used they were already offered dx10.1 and so on

anyway to get back at the point i think last official word for S2 was 4.2.2 ...right?
