Been using LP8 also thebyani rom. Never had any issue with both these apps. Have you try full wipe and install only these 2 apps to check if there is any conflict with other apps. Also make sure the app are uptodate.


Added on April 28, 2012, 9:56 amYay thebyani 4.1 and new siyah is out. Also abyss kernel is really not bad. Recommended.

Im on AOSP Abyss now with D4 ROM. I would say abyss is like a kernel that doesnt really need you to go and tweak all sorts of values to get a good balance of battery life and performance , or would I say a no- nonsense kernel biggrin.gif

For that we have siyah brows.gif (and all the other awesome features siyah tend to have since GB days)

Its seems to be a problem with XWLP9 base. Ppl are getting random SOD's with it. BUt iinm with custom kernel I think its OK. U better read thoroughly in XDA first before making the change smile.gif

Any of you guys who are on ICS using u mobile? Can go to *#*#4636#*#*
and tell me the SMSC number? I cant use the one on Gnex thread sad.gif

Urgent, cant send sms lol doh.gif

FINALLY, got it back. haiz, I don't understand why the smsc number can just disappear like that doh.gif

Gonna go back to D4 ROM, but now that I am on turkbey, the scrolling is...wow much better wei blink.gif . Now I understand why ppl always complain about this on ICS.

this I agree.. 1Gb ram is barely futureproof nowadays.. esp with resource gobbler ICS..  blush.gif

True, at least 1.5 gb RAM la, where can 1 gb only for a 2012 flagship phone. With my s2 on cm9, I can multitask, bt with my sort of usage, normally I can only keep about two to three programs in the background. The other ones will obviously be killed(hate pressing the back key on xda app after not going in it for some time. RAther than going to the last page, it will exit the whole thing doh.gif)

yet another reason to skip s3 smile.gif

btw, s2 can get 1506ms on sunspider with chrome beta + cm9, while s3 gets 1424, close enough tongue.gif

Then all S3 users queue up behind S2, wait 200 years for ICS.
Or samseng will offer Monaco (world's second smallest country) ICS before Msia.

It is not. Just that some users think Samsung didn't do a better job coming with a better design. Those who said it is ugly needs to have  their eyes check. I won't say is outstandingly beautiful or grand but definitely ugly is wrong word
And most of those bashing it are sadly from HTC camp.
Can some one  tell me how "ugly" is the S III vs the HTC one X ?

[attachmentid=2824277]

And now another round of bashing about its build material being plasticky and not aluminium or whatever metal ??

These guys has not even seen and hold the phone in their hands and already condemning it. Sad case of obvious stupidity I'd say, talking with their mouth in their ass
*
The front is fine, but the back is sweat.gif and the placement of loudspeaker is the worst imo. Right beside the camera?? For me, the best placement for speaker is beside charging port like ipong. Sad to say this but my iTouch speaker sounds much more louder than my s2, and of the reason is the placement of the speaker. With iTouch, holding it in landscape will reflect the audio perfectly tiwards you, but withh the s2 doing that just makes it sound more muffled. doh.gif

I presume you are using 3m estoc now? What do you feel about it?
I dunno if I wanna get an SGP stuff. Cause my friend has their 100 bucks case on his i9100g and it looks like crap lol after a month. So much dust on the rubber, and it seems like the rubber part has "air packs" inside it. I dunno its caused by moisture or what but, yeah, he also regrets getting it. sad.gif

very gooding. after around a month or 2 or so the layer of oleophobic will say bb, i'm not sure its oleophobic or not but there's a like slight cloudy patch(smtg like you cant see its glossy, like matte again) that keeps getting bigger and the sides can see the layers cracking away, after some time i used tissue with water and get the rest of it around the edges away, then use the microfibre cloth that came with it and polish the sp, now great, back to its former glory, still smooth, still glossy and still as transparent as ever. ppl who saw my phone always amazed why my sp is glossy(which is usually transparent) but is matte(smooth) feeling and the transparency is great?

of coz they were amazed too when i told then the price for that single piece of plastic tongue.gif

woah, matte and glossy made into one!! drool.gif

I have asked bout the nonG version S2 from a Samsung dealer. As he said the nonG version can get from AP. But then the nonG version will give a problem tat the AP dealer unable to solve it.

It is true?

That fellow just wanna scare you only. I have been this phone for the past two months ans have been flashing ROM like there is no tommorow. Neber had a single problem with this phone. After getting this nonG s2, my perception towards sammy changed totally. I just love them now rclxm9.gif
Mine also AP. Maybe warranty a bit hard compared to ori la, but its not like there is no warranty, right? wink.gif

Its not the ROM but kernel. As far as I know, both abyss and siyah supports this in their kernel menu, and I think for.siyah it might be in extweaks or in the kernel menu as well. biggrin.gif

It should work. I have gone thru gb,ics,gb, ics countless number of times the past month and it always works. maybe it some problem with the mount points. try checking the rom version and kernel u have to make sure its all ok and good to go smile.gif

Yea, on neak kernel VC does not have this option. Dev might have disabled it to encourage users to buy his app

tablet mode should be great on the coming version(per app DPI thumbup.gif)
but even now, with the simple tablet mode, its bearable but most apps are...small tongue.gif
