i refuse to jump onto the bandwagon so for meanwhile i'll stick to 4 seasons plus today got update to ver 1.1!!!

ah just kidding. next target shud be sensation

you can use apps+data, just not all apps + system data

5 icons at bottom is because of different launchers or is settings. the original touchwiz is 4 icons at bottom, the modified touchwiz has 5 buttons. The UPSIDE DOWN but BUTTONS still same, is because of the rotation transition effect from galaxy note which is in checkrom v4, it happens, just unlock, rotate it, then it'll be back as usual

Hi Guys,

Just got my set 2 days ago, and having problem with my reception. It seem to be ok including the wifi but when iam in the house is very bad there is no bar but kind of round thing (no entry) with slash across and problem connecting to my wifi. any idea and the the things is my friend dont have the same issue when he is in my house.

On stock ROM or custom ?
Try a factory reset. Dont forget to back up data first.

err................ from wat i understand after reading thru ur post, u mean u lost connection to phone signal together with wifi when u enter ur house? time to organize some exorcism already LOL


ur fren using wat phone? in past r u facing the same problem using same simcard in diff phone?


for wifi wise, try another wifi phone and c. the reception is a bit weak i reckon. even beside the wifi modem oso no full bar

more or less similar..got changes in a few but too lazy to list out

No idea yet. But no rush let give him time to release a proper stable rom.

@ pikachu. Your bolt scripts indeed improve the smoothness, but in terms of batt saving need time to monitor.

One other thing is, most people on custom rom have similar tweaks in their init.d folder. Most rom have zipalign, ram tweaks, sd read ahead, cpu tweaks, bla bla bla. Would it be better for them to clear their init.d folder before trying out your tweaks? Will there be any conflicts?

I have a feeling they will not notice much diff if they never used their device without any tweaks to begin with.

anyone knows about ics(icecreamsandwich) on s2? is there any official release huh?

i`m new here. just receive my s2 few days ago. yoroshiku onegaishimasu ne.

Should work well, as antt00 said, nandroid just in case

zipalign: Most ROMs package the darky zipalign which sadly doesn't work. I've edited the script to properly work.
ram tweaks: Most ROMs use Juwe's RAM tweaks or some other RAM tweak that only tweak the Linux LMK leaving out the Dalvik LMK. This creates a gap between memory released in Dalvik and Linux making memory hard to free. SGSII has more RAM so this isn't apparent. In SGS, having tweaked Dalvik gives a noticeable difference.

SD read ahead: Most ROMs tweak this beyond 1024KB. Most of what we need is only 128 or 256 at max. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032317

CPU Tweaks: Some tweaks are mostly good actually, but not all are sane. ThunderBolt! edges it a bit more for it to become a bit faster as well as battery saving.

You can read my sig: Android Optimization Tips to know what were my basis for each tweak that I did. Most people just copy paste expecting good things to happen (and some do get lucky).

Welcome. Official ICS is at First Quarter 2012. Thats all we know. The end.

oh really? that`s really nice2. then i should stop on galaxy nexus. wait for ics. yeay s2 FTW!

well... extra RM 600-800 for the HD screen. a bit redundant to me though the $199 tied with verizon contract is surely attractive. the problem is its CDMA phone. orelse i edi jumped onto GalNex ship already

Don't forget to buy the extended batery kit. might be useful when using the new ICS..

Yeah SGS2 on ICS should be better or comparable with galaxy nexus.

But there's a chance that Samsung would skin ICS for galaxy s2 and make it exactly like our current TW,and we don't get the awesomeness of ICS anymore from official rom. This is based on the fact that the leaked alpha build of ICS for s2 is skinned to TW till it doesn't even look like ICS,looks like our current TW. But its still alpha, so hopefully Samsung will stick with vanilla ICS

Added on December 21, 2011, 5:21 pmThat's if ICS is properly optimized for exynos and Mali. If its not... nexus probably be better

Hmm..if like that better stick to custom rom..

Well it should be optimized. Samsung got all the drivers and sources. They got no reason not to. Anyway we got CM9 to fall back on.

the another mali-powered device- Galaxy tab 7.7 will be receiving ICS update on first quarter. so, lets keep finger crossed for the delicious sandwich

That happened only after I flash ics theme from kitchen. Tried lock & unlock screen still same, then I reboot also still the same resulting me doing a restore and afraid to flash theme again after that

Thanks for the info btw! too much "speed reading" makes me unaware that checkrom v4 has the rotation transition effect from galaxy note


@pikachu01, once flash a new rom tonite I'll b installing your script. If any of my noobness gets in the way I sure am gonna spam u a lot!

for sure custom... even when samsung official release ics for s2, 1 - 2 weeks only max, then u can see people jumping to custom again
