Did you try Ninphetamine 2.1.3?  nod.gif

ninphetamine gives me auto reboot issues, i dont use speedmod or siyah kernel as i cant password protect my private apps on it, so i have no choice, but to use cfroot kernel... cry.gif

over the weekend, checked out what's new on Samsung Apps.

i got prompted for some updates... installed them... then downloaded a few stuffs...

next day, i noticed i get some korean notification... *sigh*
[attachmentid=2442087]

it does not break android... but it does go to show android is still a long way to go when it comes to being an OS that had got high 'quality standards'...

lots of little issues everywhere... like what i highlighted previously...
* 15% min battery level for the camera apps to work (this to make sure you have battery when used camera..but since I'm using custom ROM, so no issue on this one.)
* wifi sharing service (+1 more wifi related service) running in background even though wifi sharing is not enabled. (freeze using TB since stock ROM..some custom ROM even remove this totally..so no issue here..)
* unstable wifi connection to the point i need to off and on wifi for it to work again (sometime happened to me..but not all the time...depends how suck is the wifi modem speed...)
* deleting a saved DRAFT message is not easy... no one click option. you have to empty the message by deleting word by word (can select all and deleted..why human now so lazy..)
* contacts in message will show ALL contacts (if you have multiple accounts -- regardless of what is done) (not sure what you mean, i used GO SMS apps..no issue in sms..)
* nerfed gmail apps -- can't attach files other than images files FROM GALLERY (and MUSIC, i think). it seems it is possible to attach doc, etc... but it depends on manufacturer..(stock gmail suck bad. I used K-9 mail and works great!)
* BT pairing with another android device can be painful -- dun have 'always trust and accept files from this android device' option..(never pair with android but no problem pair with winmobile and symbian)
* Samsung kies -- nothing more needs to be said. (never used since everyone know samsung problem, not android.)
* Samsung dive -- very similar to kies. super half-baked service/ product. thank goodness is free, though another way to look at it... we did indirectly pay for it. (never used since everyone know samsung problem, not android.)
* gallery seems to be 'picky' about the photos it wants to list. i have some photos taken on the phone before i installed the microSD card. after putting in the card, i moved the photos from the camera to the card. gallery has decided NOT to show them. to access the files, i need to use File Manager. (like others says, using QuickPic here)
* outside of SGS2, you have things like core apps that dun work properly -- the new Market is a good example. It could not really update apps properly. Instead of 1 click to view your apps, the new apps requires 2-3 clicks.
(still prefer old market compare to new one..)

its really minor things... and most ppl probably won't even notice it. but still... smile.gif

ok, i rmb got one time my wifi signal say connected, but cannot surf the internet, although my laptop which is also connected to the router, is able to flawlessly..

so i checked the router settings, and found that i have set to auto negotiate channel previously and it's set to channel 11. Since I've heard about this channel thingy causing SGS2 to unable to surf the net.. I changed from auto to a fixed channel, 8 if i remembered correctly..

voila !! then till now, I have not encountered a single wifi signal drop issue.. thumbup.gif

The one in message is the tone you hear when you receive SMS. The one in settings is the general one for everything else eg. batt full. If you do not set the one in message it will use the general one in settings for SMS receive.

I had the same question too! After fiddling it for a while, I think it's the same. I tried changing my ringtones but whenever I click, there's only two options:

One: Android system
Two: Zedge (I downloaded this from the Market)

Is it possible to add another in because I got "Download Music" as another source of ringtones and I must say it's much better than Zedge (my humble opinion that is).

To add your own downloaded music as notification/ringtone sound,

go to My Files>media>audio>create a folder called 'notifications' or 'ringtones' and place the downloaded songs into these folders, the next time you wanna change the sounds, the choice will popup when you choose Android/System

You've been very helpful but as silly as it sounds, may I know where I can get access to the "My Files"? It is under SETTING?

"my files" is the default file manager provided. check it from your apps drawer (menu). or else u can use any other file manager like astro file manager, es file manager etc.
