Nahh, can not. Working at spore atm. Data roaming would cost a bomb. No rush, this can wait until I got back home.

After a few hit and miss, finally getting the hang of flashing rom and kernel..kinda. Quite happy now with superROM v2 and Lucifer kernel. Thanks to the help and advice I've got here.

One question though, is it normal for a yellow triangle appeared at model logo bootscreen?

When I clear memory in task manager there's certain app I want to exclude so the system won't close it like radio that running in the background and Magic Locker. Is there anyway I can accomplish this using stock apps?

u using G version? your phone is rooted?
i assume your phone is rooted and flashed with custom kernel..

you should straight flash super rom 2.0 / galaxy rc4.1..
the super rom1.0 outdated..

download the rom u wanted, place it in
for example ABC rom 'sdcard/ ABCrom.zip'(internal memory NOT memory card)
no need uncompress or extract cause by  default it should be in zip format
reboot ur phone to recovery mode (cwm)
select zip from sdcard
wait it done.. reboot system.. now u are in new custom rom..

you can clear cache and clear dalvik cache for more clean installation
*
I think super rom v1.0 must be installed first before anyone can flash to the v2.0 as instructed from xda page iinm. I just flash super rom v2.0 recently.

-flash to Lucifer kernel using Odin mobile as the kernel has built-in cwm. Lite version also can.
-backed up all the thing necessary.
-download super rom v1.0 from their page and extract it to internal sd memory to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder. (if you can't find backup folder in clockworkmod directory simply created one)
-reboot in recovery (can access easily by holding power button and choose recovery)
-wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
-select backup and restore in cwm menu, then select backup. If you extract it correctly there's should be the rom name from the option then just proceed.
-wait until it finished flashing and reboot the phone.

Now to update to version v2.0
-download the super rom v2.0 file and put in internal sd card as it is. No need to extract or anything.
-reboot in recovery.
-select install zip from sd card and find the super rom v2.0 zip file and select it.
-wait until finish flashing and reboot the phone.
-voila, super rom v2.0 installed.

Hope this helps smile.gif

currently trying to flash to superRom, i have installed CWM on the phone.

the guide says im suppose to :

v1.0:

    Download rom from the link below.
    Extract the zip. You will find a folder.
    Copy the folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
    Go to CWM recovery
    Go to backup/restore option
    Select SuperROM_v1.0_I9100G

but when i extract the folder, they say some file is corrupt etc.the only zip file shown is named data.ext4.tar

i read on the net they said the to put the zip file in SD. im confused a little affraid.
*
Maybe this simply the case of that zip file is corrupted. Go download it again as mine working fine downloading from the same site.

Well I've got the G version and I can't wait to get rid of it once S3 is out and I've got enough dough to buy it. Why? Let me tell you why and bear with me its quite long whining. Spend almost 2K on a phone I can say its not wrong for the long whining.

Its all because of only one aspect of the phone but its a major aspect because I use it most of the time when using this phone. Music player. I never installed cracked apps as advised by most user here so the phone should be doing fine but no. Its never fine.

First, it freeze when I put it in my pocket after I played an mp3 player. Regardless whatever player I used. Stock player, winamp, poweramp. Its not normal freeze but you-can't-do-sh*t-unless-you-take-off-the-battery-freeze. It happen every time after the phone been up for quite some times. If restart, the same case won't happen again.

Then there's the skipping of the track problem. When the mp3 player been using for quite some times, the player will randomly skip some tracks. Sometimes the whole playlist. It started with minor skipping within the song then it goes haywire skipping all those track as it pleased. This also happen regardless whatever player I can throw to the phone. I try paused it and go back the track it skipped and played it again, still can play fine then after a while skipping will began again. Its annoying as sh*t.

That's all happen on a stock rom. Then I followed advice from fellow forumer to change to custom rom and flash different kernel and now I'm using superROM v2.0 with superatmos kernel 2.1 (using Lucifer for a while but battery draining double fast so change back to superatmos).

Okay, the freezing problem gone with the wind. But still there's a few freeze or minor hang when using other apps but those doesn't bug me much. But the skipping track problem still persist and it bugs me as a hound from hell. A few other nights when on the way back from work I felt like I want to threw this phone to pieces when the skipping problem still occurred even after I flashing rom and kernel if not for its 1.7K price. If it cost me 200 ringgit this phone would be already been in pieces somewhere at Kastam JB.

So, I thought maybe its microSD because I'm using 32GB class 4. So, I took the 16GB class 10 from my now useless Mi300 and tried it. Got off from work open player and played the files. For quite some time it was doing okay. I felt happy but only those happiness to be shattered into pieces as I almost reach my destination minor skipping within tracks occurred. Then the major super freaking annoying major skipping tracks began. It still happening on class 10 microSD but took a little longer. FYI, this problem never occurred when I'm using my CSL Mi300 and even the now super useless HTC Touch before. Other aspect of S2 works like charm and I love every other thing on the phone just the music player irritates me to the death.

My impression towards Samsung phone degrading. Might even considered now about that S3. Sigh~

Sell your G and get yourself a Non G to see if the problem is fixed?

Nahh, too much hassle for a basically the same phone. I'd rather wait for S3 or maybe even considering iphone 5 even though I never like apple product that much.

QUOTE(eddie2020 @ Mar 3 2012, 01:26 PM)
hehe i think g version haven got oc kernel..that score for non oc..
lolz quite high also 7352 haha..
lol, i remember i flash from stock to 2.0 dun have any prob as those ppl mention bug on installed stuff dun appear etc.. btw i think u reply wrong, i teaching the guy then u give a full step on me instead of the guy haha..
+1 i feel insulted when they say this..
now i starting to see the  G version start to develop custom kernel and rom maybe because more n more people getting G nowaday..
ur fren on stock where can compare  doh.gif its just like comparing a modded sport car with a stock car..
i tried my friend phone on stock pull down notification bar also got spike..
then i flash with kernel n rom + themes.. end up satisfaction n feeling smooth..
i dont face camera hang issue for long time.. it can be fix by custom rom.. only stock i face it.. but some people stock also dun encounter.. its very low posibility..
haha... i remember my last hang is few day ago.. end up flash to rc rom.. xD
early i dun have this problem..
- -" then recently last week i have simillar prob as u in music playing...skipping track few sec +hang till whole screen black and need hold power to reboot.. i think some apps i installed have crash..
then i flashed to galaxy rc4.1 and try play music over 2hr...smooth enough without those skip or hang.. maybe u should try it out

Thanks the suggestion man. Will try this rom later.

QUOTE(mtxx @ Mar 3 2012, 02:10 PM)
Kesian.....  I can't help but wonder. You know some music player can shake phone to skip track. Did you have that on by accident?
I using ttpod. If its in my pocket n I walk very fast, will cause it to skip track. I on this feature only when driving, when normal I turn it off.
*
Nope. I know there's the option in poweramp or playerpro but already untick it. Still skipping. And its not just while I'm walking around. Even I'm standing still waiting for the bus the problem still occurred.

QUOTE(Positron @ Mar 3 2012, 02:28 PM)
Sorry, what do you mean by skipping tracks?
You mean it jumps from song one to ten?
It's because you select shuffle songs..
Just click on the icon and there will be the icon of shuffling off.
Is that what you mean?
cool.gif  cool.gif
*
No silly. I know what shuffle is about. I rather felt insulted you think I'm kinda have low intelligence that don't how those simple things work. When in minor skipping, the player will skip maybe 0.5~1 secs in the song which believe me it'll annoyed you to death if it happen a few times in a song. Then there's a major skipping where the player simply skip randomly the next song on the list saying because the it can't handle the audio or some sh*t. But if I manage to pause the play list and goes back to the same song it skip, it still can be played just fine. So, I don't think certain mp3 files I've got is corrupted or something. Tchh~

did you try to run your mp3 from internal storage rather then micro sd??
*
This is what I've been thinking after reading a post few pages back saying microsd cause some of the freezes some user experiencing before. But there isn't much more space in my internal sd card to compromise for my quite extensive list of mp3 because those games with big files such as MC3, Dead Space, Let's Golf 3, Asphalt6 etc..

But maybe I'll sacrifice some of the least playing games later if the problem still persist after I flash to Galaxy RC4.1 as mentioned by a fellow forumer here.

I think u can move game data to external sdcard with some script

Mind sharing any tips or links of guideline about this?

QUOTE(jotaro12 @ Mar 3 2012, 06:08 PM)
Because it's a bit different from how you read directly to your internal storage than external storage. Since internal already part of the board, accessing the files are sure fast yet stable compare to external where a reader(like a bridge) is needed to access the memory. Drawback from most android phones in M'sia is that most are 16GB... hardly see 32GB and above variants... iPhone is consider a better platform from music aspect (HDD size + itunes interface, although can't read many lossless audio format  doh.gif )
*
But using video player is no trouble at all even those 1GB mkv is just fine on the long run. That's why it bugs me why the hell it can't handle those simple mp3..

QUOTE(kazama82 @ Mar 3 2012, 06:30 PM)
You can at least try 10mp3 songs just to verify.  G version is known to have problems with micro sd. Might fix with ICS upgrade soon maybe..

hopefully, hopefully~

G.....using stock player...stock rom...never installed apps that isnt from android market...i downloaded everything from android market.....but still....i've even factory reset it...but still the same....

Demm, I have the same problem and I thought its gone after flashing the rom and kernel. After reading this post trying to listen to the music again using earphone and yeah it happen again. It freeze. Sigh, I guess its the microsd problem.

Do you put all your mp3 files in the external microsd card? do you also have problem where the player randomly skipping the next track in the list saying it couldn't handle file or some sh*t?

Sorry to burst the bubble to all the G defender, but I think it IS the phone problem. It is Samsung fault because of the glitch on this microsd problem. Because quite some people who never installed pirated app, flashing rom like me also facing the same problem. Maybe it about luck because randomly happen to certain user only but still it certainly faulty on the phone. Ok, maybe there's a solution or getaway step to avoid this but it doesn't cover the fact the phone have a faulty. Spending big on the phone, who knows it also double triple the trouble. Yeah, Samsung does screw it this time.

Pardon me, but I just need to get this out of my chest:

SAMSUNG SUUUCCCKKKKKK BIG TIME!!! vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

Wanna ask something here. I bought my SGS2 phone from a fellow forumer. During test all checks out well. The IMEI number matching the box and phone and so forth. The only concern I have is I think my phone is not registered on the e-warranty system. I ask the seller a few times already saying that he'll look into the matter and will get back to me which he never was.

How to check whether my phone is registered in the warranty system or not. And in case if its not registered, can I send it to service center for service or warranty? How do they check the phone?
