how do you get your KL3?
oh ya.. we can always downgrade firmware/ROM/kernel right? its NOT 1 way traffic right?
*
I updates using Kies, I did not run any custom ROM yet, I only flash the superatmos v2.1 kernel to get my DZKL3 root.

By the way, I just test out the new kernel, it seems much smoother and my AnTuTu Benchmark is higher than previous kernel or stock kernel. (using same setting). biggrin.gif

Previous kernel only score 54xx, this new kernel I score 59xx. biggrin.gif

So you just flashed the kernel after updating through Kies? Could try this out. By the way, any early indication of battery life?
*
Yup, I only flash the kernel as DZKL3 stock kernel seems can't root at the moment.

In previous kernel, the battery life is ok, the new one no idea yet.

just flash the kernel KL3 over my rom KJ2..
so far only thing noticeable is that no more "smartass" profile in my case.

I don't see that "smartass" profile also in previous kernel 2.0, I never try version 1.1 before. wink.gif

Run “ktool”. Tap "Dump current kernel"
Tap "Reboot to Download Mode"
When in Download Mode, start Odin, connect the phone and flash any stock Samsung kernel Phone will reboot itself after that.
Run “ktool” again Tap "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage"
"Reboot"

its stated in his guide.. which step u did? flashed  stock kernel with odin?

Thanks a lot for the step. wink.gif Now I know how to dumb out current kernel. biggrin.gif

rooting my tab to overcome was easy until some blady snatch thief stole it away from me few months ago.

After some saving i got my new S2 and bricked my 1 day old i9100G yesterday and lucky i was able to get restock at Samsung center at Lowyat today. I think i miss a step or two or i insert a wrong file to flash. Dont dare to try it again =.= .. saw so many ICS type ROM at XDA .. soo tempting !!. Any expert wanna do it for me ... i spend u TT after that ... lolz ... biggrin.gif
*
Yours is i9100G. They is 2 Galaxy S II in market, one with G (i9100G) another without (i9100). All ROM at XDA 99.99% is for non G version. If you flash it in G version, your phone will bricked anytime any soon.

You need to use Go Contacts EX for dialer change, I am using it, at least for me Go dialer is much better compare with stock one.

My Samsung Galaxy S II look now, ALL Go Go Go! Haha! Go Launcher EX, Go Contacts EX, Go SMS Pro..........

did u flash ics rebuild? lolz

Nope, I use Go Launcher EX, Go Contacts EX, Go SMS Pro, and combining themes of ICS Pro Theme, ICS Go Launcher Theme, Diva Theme and etc.

I can have total ICS look, but I don't like too ICS, I feel combining much better.

If you want more ICS look, go install ICS Pro Theme + ICS Go Launcher Theme. Both for Go Launcher EX, Go Contacts EX & Go SMS Pro.

This already suite what I want now, that why I never try any custom ROM as non really what I want.

By the way, i'm looking for a really efficient way to tagg my mp3, tired of having albums splitted on my phone.
I'm trying Itag for android, but it's only half good so far ... A lot of mistakes sad.gif
*

I try quite a lot MP3 tagg, so far the best is Audio Tagger. It not only support MP3, but support as well MP4 format.(support both m4a & m4p extention).

Beside this, it also support on direct searching and download album cover from Discogs and Amazon.

Welcome. smile.gif One part not so friendly is you need go to preferences tick/un-tick for batch tagging / single title tagging.

kernel also can introduce much2 better governor, for example, default hotplug in LA1 is much battery friendly compared to in KJ2. maybe it is because of "Made in Germany" lols..
Is this Germany LA1 got any issue on displaying Chinese character? or missing Chinese input keyboard?

i am not sure about chinese character, maybe yes, as it is europe version and as far as i see from system, not dedicated keyboard apk for chinese. but i think u can easily extract keyboard apk from any asian rom and use it, but character support, maybe not so easy..

i just checked, no chinese support , only korean, russian, english bla bla..

Oh ok thanks, I no need Chinese menu, but I need can display Chinese wording.

How about internal apps, like music player and etc?

yep, even stock also can use voltage control, it just hotplug default seems to have its own management which always change the speed itself, thats why i just left it and limit using jd, beside jd can re-limit the cpu speed everytime

nothing really cf-root, it is just a term getting root..but if u can use cwm manager without problem, so u are cf-rooted..lols

with LA1, so far i never experienced lagginess or even hang

i am just at 40..lols..

From all your great review on LA1. I am ichy now! Probably tonight will need read your user guide and try it on. wink.gif

Hi, actually you are using which firmware?

Is that I9100GXXLA1? Open Germany firmware?

I found I9100GXWLA1 seems just release on Feb, 2012, but it is from India, did you try before? But the size smaller compare with German one.
