I think they're pretty similar, based of aokp. So far hydrogen not bad, gettin abt 3-4 hrs of screen on time with siyah 3.1.2
*
Its really hard to find any difference between hydrogenic and ressurection.
I tried both of them recently, the diff that I found is the boot animation and the camera UI, that's all.

How is the camera ui different? o.O

The camera in resurrection seems more dumb IMO.

Once open, if you tap the shutter, it just snap without focusing.
Need to tap the screen only it focus.
After every picture, need to tap screen only it focus.

If just press shutter, it will just snap without focusing.
Very weird but true.

Maybe my installation prob? Not sure.

Guys, I have a strange problem. Have this happen to you guys before? If so please advice.

Me and my gf using checkrom. So far its great.
But lately, my s2 got s problem. The volume is very low. Even on maximum media volume it too soft. After checking, I notice the sound comes out from the earpiece on top of the screen, instead of the main speaker at the back of the phone.

How can this happen? So weird!
The only way to fix I'd press *#0*# , choose receiver test, then for speaker test.
Then the sound will comeout from the speaker at the back.

I clear cache and dalvik cahe' but problem persists,

This issue repeats after every reboot.
How to solve this? Please help:-(

This rom looks nice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451346

Downloading and will test it during free time.

This rom never mention is aokp. So can assume its based on Sammy rom?

By the way, aokp aosp seems no FM radio app.
How you guys live without it? Got replacement app from market?
Or FM radio is a touch wiz thing?

Oh, cos I check in play store search spirit FM, first result also called spirit FM, which is a streaming app.

Omg...the spirit FM that you guys saying is paid app, sumore so expensive. Ridiculous.
Not that I'm a cheap guy, but paying for something that was originally free kinda sucks,:-(

Galaxy nexus on aosp also don't have radio? FM non streaming radio.

why we need FM radio anymore? its ok, can try some apps that provide music streaming to your phone. i rarely listen to radio anymore, only while driving to work or during traffic jam  biggrin.gif

Radio is nice also ma. Morning got lots of nice shows. Especially loves those gotcha things. Very funny.
Enjoyable when eating breakfast. I think no one carries radio around anymore, so having this FM radio feature on the phone is a great plus.
Without it, minus one function from my smart phone, makes it alittle dumb. Which is not cool.

lol...sgs3.

remeber the nexus prime? eventually it turned out to be a weaker dual core and camera than sgs2, and called galaxy nexus. fail to live up the hype.

have a feeling sgs3 might be a normal phone. (similar, but improved features)
hard to imagine any NEW stunning features like S pen. maybe water proof? it needs to have something great that makes sgs2 and other current phones look obsolete, else its just another phone.

but still, it will sell millions. samsung reputation is too great.
almost same status with apple already. go into any shopping mall, all samsung banners. even my grandma have the impression samsung make good phones.

not only sales bro,

if not, it won't be awarded as phone of year 2011

poor matrix has a G version one.
and has the impression that S2 always hang and overheat.
hard to change that thought already, first impression is important.

its samsung fault also.
samsung is very evil for releasing a G version.
Moral of the story, if wana buy S3, hurry buy on launch date, if not will have i9300G come out then sad case already.

Hi guys, since this is a really long thread, i'll just ask a few questions here. i'm using I9100G for about 2 weeks.

1. Which is the correct way to charge a battery?
a)wait till it's really low>10% or
b)can charge anytime
Please explain more smile.gif

2. Any apps for saving and monitoring battery usage? preferably those that take up less RAM.

3. what exactly are wakelocks?

4. does papago require data connection?

Thanks!! smile.gif
*
dont think people will like to entertain this kind of ques. but oh well, since i'm free.

1. just plug in charger lo, can charge any time.

2. best app is better battery stats.

3. phone goes into deep sleep mode when not in use. deep sleep mode very save power one. if got wake lock, means phone cant enter deep sleep. constantly awake although not doing anything, causing big battery drain.

4. no

But i tried running my papago and it seems that my location is not detected.  i've already switched on my gps.

ohmy.gif you try at home issit?
GPS only work outdoors.

even out doors, GPS not instant. need wait. fastest i get is 30 seconds, longest about 5 minutes.
depends whether your car moving, weather, tinted window, etc.

by the way, tinted window seems affect alot, in friends car that got fully tinted window, hard to get signal, open window abit, then can get d.

I've updated my GSII with ICS about 2-3 weeks ago. Now I have this prob : everytime I disconnect my phone from my PC after using USB cable to transfer files, etc, I disconnect properly, eject from PC, turned off on phone... but then it kinda lost my SD card for quite sometime... & all my music playlist, which contains music stored on the SD Card, gone blank... I haven't tried using Kies Air. But using cable this is what happened. The 1st time was even worse, it took like forever to do the media scan, then it couldn't detect my SD Card until I restart the phone... still my playlist gone also... haih...

Anybody else have this prob ? Solution ? Thx...

maybe phone is doing media scanning. should be normal.

I think they need to revamp the whole thing from scratch to do that...read an article before,
not that simple....really need to redo the whole OS...i still don't get it why people so hung up about
"smoothness" of the UI. You don't need 60fps to press a button. I repeat YOU DON'T NEED 60FPS TO PRESS
A BUTTON TO ACTIVATE AN APP!!!!
doh.gif

Frankly, i find the iOS too smooth, makes me dizzy, like FPS games....dun rike. :thumbsdown:
*
not to worry, in ics, under developer option, can change the animation speed.
set the scale to 0.5x, super fast animation.

you customize the animation speed. or can even turn it off all together.
but no animation kindda plain. for me as long animation 0.5 -1 seconds is ok.

if you feel iOS dizzy, check out WP7. so sweat,
just to get into messaging app, i must see the tiles fly here and there so many times. ><

Ceh....as predicted. Really nothing special,
No s pen, water proof
Rm2k to swap s2 with a new phone with these improvements seems no worth to me.
Better buy any quad core tablet, get a new device instead of minor upgrade to the phone
Why no news on tablet? The note 10.1 is Samsung best tablet for this year?
