Yes go with that. Its a good rom.

On another note, I am downloading the latest turkbey,  rolleyes.gif

we are having checkrom v4 n turbkey v33.since many report issues with checkrom.think should hold up on it.and then since turkbey new rom disable some candy eye.would give it a skip too.since i got no people to flash for us currently.time to slowly read and learn

Ok guys I report back my problem about phone lag that i stated last week.
My phone has 156 hours uptime now. No lag issue occurred again. The pirated apps are the main reason for my problem. Special thanks to 2 people who helped me. One is singapore, I forgot another one. sad.gif

So, for those idiots who complain about Android super lag, please remove pirated apps first before opening your mouth (kaopeh) or stating the problem at Lowyat forum!
Oh yes, thanks to Uncle Benny too for main post on the first page.

thanks for this information

I was just wondering can the S2 play DTS formats??
So far I only tried AC3 can work..
*
what is this dts formats?a new game or something?

QUOTE(Positron @ Feb 19 2012, 11:23 AM)
Are you using G version??
The only time the Fruit Ninja lags on my S2 is when I play Fruit Ninja THD and only when swiping the new game button it lags, when playing it no lags at all..
Maybe if you are rooted you could try increasing the cpu speed or maybe put to performance instead of on demand, that helped me remove any observable lag on my S2 ..
*
correct me if im wrong.but wasnt the thd version for tablets?and its more expensive compared to the normal version?any difference?graphics more nicer?cause i just brought the normal version.if the thd version is better then i will get the thd version.or is there a new one like the dts format you mention.

wont increasing your phone to performance mode push your cpu to the limit and its not recommended?sorry im still learning.trying to read from here and on the web to try increase the information.please do tell more.

Yes, first of all DTS and AC3 are sound codecs, when playing videos S2 can only support AC3, I tried playing DTS 1080p videos no problem, the only problem is that no sound could be heard as it does not support DTS..
That is why I want to know whether is there any other methods to play DTS formats..

THD are for tablets, namely for those using NVIDIA TEGRA 2 and 3 GPU..
But non tegra phones could use chainfire and act as a bridge to simulate the NVIDIA graphics..
I have been experimenting a few NVIDIA games like the fruit ninja and others and I found out that the tegra version using chainfire, the graphics are much smoother and rounder the edges, you could tell the difference between the jagged edges of the non THD version and the smooth, and I mean really smooth edges of the THD..
With the 16XAA, the edges are perfect...

Yes, putting performance mode will push the limits of the cpu, possibly causing it to crash..
But I've tried using SETCPU, but putting it to max 1200 and min 200 and putting it to performance reduces the lag, and will not crash, of course if you put max 1200 and min 1200 and performance, the phone will heat up so much and possibly crashes after a few minutes..

so dts and ac3 are sound and video formats.that is not related much to phone usagee.as if im playing hd content and not hd games.i would do it on my led screen rather than the phone small screen.it just beats the purpose of hd since on a phone screen, it wont do much justice to the content,hence its a waste of time.if you are trying to play those hd files on your phone.wont it look out of place.

but then.thd games are much more expensive.you must be a gamer then to purchase those nvidia games.it costs much more than the same titles but in normal version.for me the difference in usd is not abit but in a few dollars.maybe i would wait for my pay cheque before buying thd games.

ok.learn something new about the cpu mode.

by the way.has anyone noticed something strange.in our phone storage.we have sd card,usb storage then internal storage.for sd i put songs and such.no problem.for usb storage i still have about 500mb left.for my phone internal.i have about 220mb.but when my phone gets below 200mb.it wont allow me to download anything more or even update,why cant i use the 200mb like as normal?has anyone knows why

Sorry for asking such a noob question, but I am back at this thread after 2 days. I see CheckROM v6 has been released already.

ICS Domination v2.0 XILA UNIVERSAL
ICS Domination v2.0 ChecRom v6 UNIVERSAL (FIRST INSTALL XILA UNIVERSAL THEN THIS, REBOOT BETWEEN)

Why is there a 2nd file to flash if on CheckROM? Is the theme on the Kitchen app yet?

Feel like a noob again tongue.gif

Never cause lags, but if you have live wallpaper which uses extreme graphics on the background than it might feel a little lag..
But I've been using the stock ROM, and I got to say no matter what no lagging that I have noticed...
*
nope.my phone never lags.even when im running live wallpaper.and i do have lots of apps running.you are using stock rom?how is the stock rom compared to custom rom?as my phones are rooted on the day it was brought.dont have much experience with stock.

I did some research since GIYF..
And I actually found out that Dice Player can actually play DTS sound.
I was blown away, and I did not believe so I put into my SD card the TRON movie, 720p DTS mkv file which is about 8Gb and to my dismay, it played flawlessly and the sound was excellent, well unfortunately the speaker of the S2 is shattering when there is like a loud explosion, maybe Voodoo Louder makes the speaker better (not sure).

In conclusion, I've tried other players like the stock player and others all cannot support DTS, so hence still have to give the utmost credit to the Dice Player..

how much is it and is it highly recommended?i thought supercurio mentions that voodoo louder only works on earphones as when i use my earphones only the logo comes out.without earphones there is no logo for voodoo louder.

QUOTE(Positron @ Feb 22 2012, 08:16 PM)
Oh no, oh no, big problem...
I tried to put into my SD card a 6Gb and then tried another movie 7Gb,
but then it successfully was transferred but then when I check the details for both movie was only 4Gb.
For both also, so I suspect samsung limits the video to be 4Gb maximum, because before I transferred it was 8Gb free, so both movie should be able to fit into the SD card one at the time.

Hmm, I was wondering whether anybody have tried putting a 5Gb or above movie into the S2 and successfully played it without having the movie to be chopped off at a certain point like mine??

Thanks..
*
i thought fat file system has a limit of only 4gb?

QUOTE(Positron @ Feb 22 2012, 09:02 PM)
One quick question I was browsing through and I heard someone says for the OTG Cable it must be type B version, if type A it will not work on S2, is it true? How to tell apart?
*
wouldnt it be written there type a and type b and type c?i search abit the info.looks like it got some differences.type a for galaxy s2 g version.type b for galaxy s2 pink version.for s2 non g version.only type c otg works.so be careful and ask for type c only.if not waste money and time.
