What are the aokp features you talking about?
Do elaborate.

Uninstall and reinstall your flash player and see.

Can you guys help me out?

Hand itchy wana flash rom to try, since tomorrow Sunday.
But can't find any nice ones. The description at xda seems never update one.

My criteria is,
- no lock screen vibration
-working FM radio,able to play from loud speaker. Spirit FM need pay if wan play from speaker.
-wifi direct working, I need this, often use it.
-usb otg working
-able to skip songs with volume button
- bug free crt off effect.

Aokp roms seems stuck with lock screen vibration
Aosp and aokp seems no FM radio n wifi direct
Miui can't skip tract with volume button, only can shake
Litening rom got crt off bug, screen flashes after animation

Am I too choosy?
I still on check rom, getting bored waiting for ics checkrom. But so far the ones I tried not satisfied my desires. Sigh...

I am sticking with current rom.
Don't really feel like compromising those features,

But then, reality is cruel.
Seems current ics all can't satisfy. Sigh.

I think my bet bet is Sammy's ics rom. Hope one of them will get the skip track with volume keys feature soon.

You should post this in the official sgs2 forum.
The g version has more probs than the non g.

All the good things you hear about s2 are the earlier non g version.
G version tend to have more weird issues, hangs occasionally, and very little custom rom.

Buy a non g s2 and don't buy at all. Look for 2nd hand or ap sets.
Or consider note or nexus.

Wifi direct is awesome man!

You should try it. Its like Bluetooth on steroids.
Send files between supported device with wifi speed, talking about 1.5-2MBps.

Let's say you have 300+ pics or a 700MB movie, you can send to your friends s2, nexus, android tablet using wifi direct in less than 5 minutes.
Cool stuff. It does not require both device to be connected to a router, can straight send, hence the name wifi direct.

One of the sad reasons why I don't use aokp aosp. Cos no wifi direct

Added on May 14, 2012, 11:23 pmYou know something even more funny?
You can get ics one 2 months ago in your house.
Just download Odin, and the official firmware from xda,
Its non wipe and won't add yellow triangle,won't ruin warantee.

If you bring to service center, I think they'll just do the same.
They'll take ur phone, Plug your phone to their com, and flash away using Odin.
Same procedure, why waste petrol go sc?

Wifi direct between phone and PC?
I don't think possible la. You manage to do it?
Using air droid, kies air or similar app is not consider wifidirec.

Wifi direct works even when both device is not connected to the router.
Example, if me an my friend s2 on a bus, both not connected to wifi router.
I can still send files using wifi direct.

Isn't all official firmware non wipe? Even through Odin?
Last time I flash lpq is non wipe.

issit? yaya, the LPQ i download is from intratech

is non wipe.
i thought all official firmware is non wipe. cos i read in jayce ooi blog say that is official firmware, which is non wipe.

thanks antoo for clearing the air.
luckily i din download from sam firmware

happen to me before. i was so pissed off.
my backup file was about 1gb i think, it keep restore faill

after my accident, i did a experiment.
i backup just my contact only, it was very fast, since contact is so small file size.
then try to restore, it says restore fail.
useless piece of junk software, cant even do simple thing.

luckily contacts are sync to google contacts,
my sms are gone too, but luckily i got do titanium backup, when restore hancent sms app, it restored all my sms also. haha

in short, kies not reliable. use titanium backup.

lol...
if so, just do it at home la. no need go all the way to sc.

regardless. non G still better.
no need to do step 1,2,3
can use memory card, camera NEVER hangs, in fact, the phone NEVER EVER hang.
apps do force close very rarely, but the phone never hangs. there'll never be a need to plug out your battery.

not that i support pirated apps.
but pirated apps doesnt cause any problem or performance or hang issue or s2 non g.
my cousin's S2 non G practically full of cracked games, no hang or lag also.
whereas my friend's S2 G stock unrooted, also will hang.
whole phone jam and not responding kind of hang, need plug out battery.

for existing G users, if you guys not happy with the comments,
think, if you are offered a chance to change to non g for free, you will obviously take it no? instantly lots of ics custom roms to try out. no more hanging issues what so ever. you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. is there any strong points that g has over non g?
so dont persuade new users to buy the g version one, or keep insisting the g version is same as non g. its not.

i dont think your phone hang, or freeze as you call it.

i notice in ICS, when i was using litening rom which is based on official sammy ics,
when app force close, the screen will freeze, sometimes turned completely black with only the status bar remains,
after waiting 10-15 seconds, only a notifications pops out "opps, unfortunately XXX app has stopped" tap the notification and the app will close and you're phone runs normally again.

kindda weird, on gingerbread, if app force close, instantly you get a error message and you can dismiss it.

next time you get a "phone freeze" issue, try waiting more than 20 seconds and see.
i think ics force close error message takes 10-15 seconds only appear. scare the shit out of me. haha.

diodict english dictionary is the best in my opinion, but this only works on samsung based rom.

if you using cm9 etc, download color dict, free, and got a cool feature that can pronounce out the word.
but the detail and organization lose to diodict la. my 2nd favourite

Diodic I get from Samsung app store for free. Its a paid app if from market I think.
Antoo mention before working on aosp aokp.

But every time I restore wit tb, tb will hang when restoring it.

Are you using Samsung rom or aokp?

destEX, you little cute piggy,

you mention turning on wifi hotstpot to send files to laptops,

just tried it today
this idea really works man. just realize my phone can send and receive any files from all existing laptops. awesome!

basically, turn on wifi hotstpot. let laptop connect to your phone.
launch air droid, it will work like it usually do.

oh ya, if you dont have 3G internet plan like me, remember off data network before you do this.

dear friend,

i dont think KIES can restore to another phone. i remember i need to key in a name and all my files are backed up to a specific folder. if use another phone, maybe will be in another folder.
not confirmed.

if its important to you, no harm trying it.
after this troublesome experience with memo, i highly recomend you try 'color note'
its a much better note taking app then samsung memo.

practically all samsung apps are badly made, there are better alternatives out there.

"file manager" app is way better than "my files"
color note much better than memo
airdroid way way better than kies air
hancent better than stock sms

hello, this is sgs2 thread.

S3 please go here.
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2333161

all this while i'm using perfect keyboard.
but lately i found out it has kindda a 'bug' with numbers

when i want to type numbers, example rm1.
since 'rm1' is not in dictionary, it will save into custom dictionary.
the next time i want to say rm2, it will auto correct to rm1.
pretty stupid right? other example includes time, such as 8am, 9pm etc...it will auto correct them. haiz.

whats more serious is, it treats numbers as words. if i type 100, sometimes it auto save it, and when i want to write 200, it auto correct to 100.

i usually have to look through my custom user dictionary and delete any numbers that it have saved.
but i'm getting tired of this.

thought of changing to other keyboard like swiftkey.
does it have this prob? other keyboards?
or is this prob common across all device with auto correct?
