Do you have the cleaning script in your sdcard? run that first.
CODE
First step before install & kernel switch:

Always have this cleaning script on your internal SD card ready


If you're switching kernels, have issues with auto-rotation, the cam, bootloops or other sorts of problem (failed overclock attempt),
please use lippol94's script-cleansing update (apply via CWM recovery) : http://www.multiupload.com/922KMXMMVJ
kudos to lippol94 !

hey guys , if my sgs is still in android 2.1 . Can I use SuperOneclick to root ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
and if i dont wish to flash any custom ROM.. Can I just root the phone and stay with stock ROM.. no problems occur right ?
*
The latest official firmware for our region is group already, Dxjpe. I suggest connect to kies and update. Then you can root the phone. There's no problem with rooted stock rom.

Now i am in Darky 10.1 RE, it is smooth and fast but the Android OS battery draining problem still there even Darky remove software & Samsung acc already. Now dunno what to solve the problem except reboot.
Now thinking wanna change to other rom, How the GingerReal Rom battery performance?
*
GingerReal Rom has those Samsung sync apps but I have removed them. Battery life is okay I think. I've only been using it for less than a day.

Go to settings > about phone > battery use. Take a screenshot and show us.

Then click on the graph at the top, take that screenshot and show that to us as well.

I'm not satisfied with gingerreal. Being used to insanity rom, it has got too many bloat and unnecessary apps in the /system/app folder. Had to remove using Nitrality app.

there were also occasional jerkiness and lags which is very apparent after being used to having CM7 for weeks.

Also, the kernel doesn't have voodoo sound infused!

Will wait for the next CM nighty. Its changelog is long and looks promising http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxysmtd

default Gallery 3D? It has always been slow for me. Even quickpic has slight delay when displaying the thumbnails.

which gallery issue are you referring to? if battery drain, try clear thumbnails and rebuild it.

their source said that JK Shin confirmed that SGS III will come first half 2012.
it's most probably running Icecream Sandwich build.  drool.gif

SGS II is like Samsung's experiment for dual core phone. the next phone should fix any problem (if any) with dual core cpu architecture.

quad core exynos? or 6-core drool.gif That'd be worthy upgrade to our sgs!

one thing is always true:
great hardwares need great softwares.

Samsung really fail when come to its software department if compared to HTC.
Motorola sucks even more than Samsung.

Motoblur? LOL
Touchwiz? LOL

why did they pick super-lame name for their UI?

SAMSUNG
(屮゚Д゚)屮
Y U NO BE ORIGINAL?

don't copy Apple la. or people will think you're cheap.

my 2cents

I agree. Samsung is great at hardware department but not software. I returned from CM7 to touchwiz. Jerkiness and lags are very noticeable. I can't wait for the next nightlies.

I think touchwiz is the best name :- touch wizard
HTC sense? what sense?
motoblur? motorola is blur??? biggrin.gif

TW icons design are not exact copy of iOS but they are very similar. What similar is using horizontal scrolling and the apps sorted by last installed. Vertical scrolling and alphabetical sorting makes more sense and easier to navigate!

yes, this is true , their software dev really  sweat.gif . but cant really blame them much cause before that they dont really put effort on mobile phone cause they got many other product and their main product are screen panels. motorola.... doh.gif
but seriously i like touchwiz. but only for modded touchwiz3. about copy's case, i have no ideal for that, as long as it is not copy bulat bulat then its ok. but what did samsung really copy from apple? hmm.gif

EDIT: one more thing about HTC locked bootloader? hmm. not a good stuff for hardcore flasher.

htc ceo, Peter Chou confirmed future phones will have unlocked bootloader. But previous htc phones bootloader have all been cracked anyway.

Suddenly, htc sensation becomes a very desirable phone next to sgs II.

QUOTE(lightning69 @ May 30 2011, 08:34 PM)
I am kind of tired with my SGS after a month.  For me Samsung phones is pretty shitty. 

I was having dinner with a few friends just now and was trying to open map to show a friend some location but then the the phone crash.  Just hang for no reason.  Then I reboot only to have the Launcherpro Plus crashing and I have to reboot again. 

The other day I was with my wife and 2 friends having lunch at Kinky Fat Chef Kitchen and there was an offer that if four friends were to check in with Foursquare, we would get free french fries.  2 of my friends are using iphone 4 and my wife is using iPad.  They all manage to login to foursquare and check-in while my SGS were having shit load of problems with gps and cannot find the location.  I have to go outside under the hot sun to get a gps lock just to check in with foursquare. 

I think I have learn my lesson for not sticking with iphone.  I thought it would be great to be able to customise my phones to my hearts content, but all those customisation is only to make the phone look prettier.  But when it comes to actual usage, the iphone is simply better.  No lag, no unnecessary battery drain by OS, no gps problem, no crash, and most important of all its got tons great apps.

I hope i am no affending a lot of SGS fans here.  For me SGS is just too problematic and what I want is a phone that works well when you need it, stable and again it must have great apps which android is still very far behind.
*
I doubt the iphone and the ipas uses gps inside a building. I'm pretty sure they were using cell tower for location.

AFAIK, apple uses "Skyhook" that has much better algorithm for detecting phone's location by cell tower triangulation. They tried to use that tech for motorola phones but google stepped in and block it. For now, all android phones uses google's poorer cell tower triangulation algorithm. There's an ongoing legal battle between google and skyhook.

The most promising from right now is the cyanogenmod. It has great gps performance and virtually lagless and no jerkiness. Battery life can still be improved - although I read pre-nightlies #15 has a much improved battery life.

For you, I suggest to ditch darkyy. I do not wish to offend any darkyy fans but I never believed in his character and his rom. Try the latest leaked stock gingerbread. GB custom seems to be not as stable as I wished.

Will CM fix the horrifying battery issue? That's the only major complaint I have, aside from the hunt for Swype and some necessary goodies bundled with Sammy.

CM will fix it eventually. Got no problem with swype. I downloaded swype installer from its website and it installed fine. Also, for all sammy goodies, there are better alternative in the market. See first post for cm7 for alternative apps.

QUOTE(kmrdeva @ May 30 2011, 08:59 PM)
quite an old custom rom u have there, I think. I never have any issues with GPS lock and foursquare lock with my sgs running cm7.

anyway, I do agree that for out of the box smooth and excellent functionality, the iphone4 is one of the best if not the best smartphone for users. however for a techie like me, ios for all its wide app collection and great functionality is too limiting for me. different strokes for different folks, I guess.
*
Apple product is like that. I used my sister's macbook for a while and I was suffocated with its limited freedom, namely itunes and ipod. MBP may work for people who don't know how to change screen brightness, keyboard shortcuts, etc.


QUOTE(lightning69 @ May 30 2011, 09:20 PM)
Not really an old rom.  Gingerbread is still very new for SGS and I am still waiting for custom GB too be more stable before I flash again.  I am thinking of flashing to Darky's Extreme Edition v10.1 ★ JVH ★ Fast. Sleek. Beautiful.  How is Darky compare to Juwe?
*
As stated above. Try stock gb rom. Take a look at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901 Choose xxjvo with bootloader. It has a nice guide to upgrade as well.

QUOTE(ic3joker @ May 30 2011, 09:38 PM)

Try all and then try stock gb. See if I'm right about custom rom not stable yet. If I'm wrong, we may see the first stable gb custom rom!

I flashed to gingerreal just before tentative changes for #15 cm7 nightlies become very interesting. Will definitely convert to it once it is available.

Don't know about that. I think one forumer here has tested (almost) all gb custom rom. He can give a better answer. I am on gingerreal but has removed bloats in the /system/app which I think may have contributed to excellent battery life.

Maybe try stock gingerbread first. There are 3 new leaked roms. But I know DDjv6 is official gb for India.
