@Susanno
To facilitate a speedier response at this, we'd have to pool up and donate the same phone to say team cyanogen. IIRC Sammy passed a free orig SGS2 Exynos to them which obviously was a huge help. Even then there's no guarantee. From what I've read, they don't have the manpower skilled for this particular SoC and are atm have no fast access/sources to gain both abilities/people.

Reporting in. Doomlord method managed to drive me up the wall so ended up with the older steps. WORKS BETTER and I'm on DZKJ2. Though that binary counter thingy does leave me a bit unnerved but wth... Removing TouchWiz related craps manually and interestingly if anyone else here shares the same experience, right after you run "ls /system/app" via terminal emu you'd see some SingTel and StarHub APKs!? o.O Maybe it's just me.

@n00bz
Umm no it's not. Unless by "explore the fon" you meant running 1 instance of a mobile browser (non stock ones) w/ above 5 tabs loaded. Try combo'ing default power mgmt w/ JuiceDefender app. Works well for me. *shrugs*

Power saving mode via Settings + JuiceDefender on "Aggressive" profile. Though I highly suspect that it's Jd doing the most work.

Another question, how to force the browser to load desktop websites?

Set user agent to Desktop dude. It's there in the browser settings. Though I won't really recommend it unless you switch back and forth across multiple browsers like I do. Mobile web browsers are just built differently.

@creezalird
Gratz and kita doakan kesyukuran for your wedding bro. Plus thanks for the Doomlord memory crash tip. Playing Air Penguin during zergrush did the trick for me.

@premk71
Do share with us on your latest SuperROM comeback results. Interested about the ROM as I'm done worrying about the binary counter and it's a bit of a bore scanning around ICS news.

The horror.

Flashed Super rom + superatmos kernel a day ago.
Today wanted to revert to stock rom, so I wiped data via recovery and flashed stock rom via Odin.

But now, I can't seem to root the phone. Doomlord method doesnt work, superoneclick 2.2 and 2.3.3. also doesnt work =/

Superoneclick keeps not responding.

I tried to reinstall the usb drivers but still nothing.
*
Last time I checked not a lot of fellow users here have had any success w/ s1click (save you perhaps?)? I myself had tried the previous s1click and discovered that even at its xda thread I haven't seen any I9100G user w/ a definite win post? So far the most surefire way to root for me is the 1st post OLDER method and this latest creezalird method of any latest rooted kernel + Odin to stock + ktool flashback rooted kernel way. Btw the dude doomlord did mention (check his xda thread OP) that Samsung among others have managed to patch the latest zergrush exploit w/ the latest upds.

@fuzore
That's odd? I'm on the same combo w/ Go everything (launcher, keyboard, contact, locker, sms) slapped on top but none of those issues. Did you follow the ROM flash via CWM steps to the letter and cleared the Dalvik cache?

battery is quite good. 19hours, left 65%.
- whats app, sms, light game
- wiFi constant on
- data constant on

p/s: upgraded from superatmos 2.0. did not clear dalvik cache.

You are joking right? If he stops his work on I9100G, what else ROM and Kernel are we going to use?
I9100G is dying...
*
He didn't explicitly specify that however...he did mention that the phone used was a loaner and he'll need us to pool up for a workable I9100G phone fund. I don't wanna sound like a paranoid douche but putting out a ROM on XDA (and this after like what 3-4 kernel revisions?) knowing full well that a loaner is a temporary work phone is a surefire time + energy wastage risk on his part.

ICS o_O? Leaked/available alpha/beta custom ROMs for non-G ones or were you referring to just the theme? If you power up your phone again and it just shows the phone to PC icon don't worry. In that function just plug in the USB, run Odin and reflash the official firmware. Done that. Happened to me.

Hi guys, wanna check with u all..

after root and flashed.. battery can last 2 days.. then suddenly yesterday 11pm.. fully charged at 100%, then when unplug, immediately dropped to 98%, then this morning 8am, battery dropped till 20%....

what happened? no new apps installed....

just now i charged again.. 100%, then unplug, dropped to 98% again...
*
Try Battery Calibration by Nema app. All you have to do is wait till 100% at 4190mV above then tap that huge batt calibration button, reboot. Other than that you gotta be realistic that half the time 100% aren't really 100% depending on circumstances. Fully discharged charging and whatnot you know.

So far I prefer SuperRom and Superatmos kernel. But I went back to stock KL3+Superatmos kernel.

When I was on SuperRom v3, there were plenty of bugs and I was too tired of flashing things here and there ever so often.
*
You don't happen to use any sort of CPU control apps e.g SetCPU, System Tuner Pro or ROM Toolbox Pro do you? Because if you do then yes SuperROM+superatmos combo = borkage extravaganza. Oh and Juice Defender too... Minus all that you'll be fine...if you're up for another round of reflashing circus.

Well for what's at experimental stage, it's 90% done and 110% already better over the official fw. Flashed the fw then tried rooting method 2 gave me a ridiculous startup crash issue (a la dzkl3's) but I do suspect that stock fw and Go don't play well together. Annoyed the crap out of me till I jumped the gun and did CM9 Res. Happy even as I'm setting everything up all over again.

Hi andrew

are you able to access your external SD card after flashing to CM9?
when i open the external_sd folder, it is EMPTY! mad.gif

Dude..It's /mnt/emmc. Disclaimers and warnings already all over the place in CM9 wiki and codeworkx thread.
