but now most of the ppl i know uses whatsapp, so if messages screwed up also i dont really bother nod.gif

and well, IF they read the user's guide book they should know. but no one reads it. so yea laugh.gif
btw mtxx gin&tonic .. is this the lockscreen lag problem?  hmm.gif

1. press button to unlock
2. screen freezes (semi transparent, able to see the homescreen for awhile)
3. then lockscreen appears?

if yes, which kernel did you guys flash to fix the problem?
im currently on jeboo kernel.
*
No. The issue u mention only happen when u lock and immediately want to unlock. I think the lockscreen haven't finish loading.
Very rare happen. Not a big deal for me.

Lockscreen freeze bug already solved with official jb, meaning its official kernel. Jeebo kernel also dun have lockscreen freeze issue.

Lockscreen freeze means after press Powe to unlock at lockscreen the touscreen become not responsive for 5 seconds.

My device recently freeze like crazy. Thinking of flashing [ROM][XWLSD][14Feb] Omega v20 ●►Final JB 4.1.2.
Last mth tried flashing Aliiance got serious bootloop & cannot boot.
This time thinking to flash Kernel Cleaning Script. This Omega Rom default PhilZ cwm6 good? Any bootloop? Or shud i flash Jeboo Kernel 2.1 that claim to be no bootloop. Sked la after bad experience with bootloop. Thx
*
wah your s2 so much problem one...
usually those bootloop sod problem because kernel too 'advance' and have too many tweaks.
use stock kernel then wont have any issue

i use alliance rom and jeebo 1.1f (last version before it started to have tweaks)

jeebo is stock kernel without tweaks.
newer jeebo versions add more features causing random reboots and other weird stuff.

been using my phone without worry and fuss for so long now.
0 case of sod, random reboot & hang. icon_rolleyes.gif

hi smile.gif i search hi and low and i cant find any answer.
my SGS2 internal storage show as picture.
there is 1.1G missing. now having problem install new apps or date up app.

i have try moving all the apps which can be move to external memory card and also clear all the cache.
still i have missing 1.1G in internal storage.

please advice what to do. (no formatting pls)
note: android version 4.0.3 (stock firmware)

help help help~!!!

clear your dalvic cache. using custom recovery.

if your are not rooted, too bad.
dalvic cache will slowly accumulate, but usually wont exceed 300MB

for rooted users, can use "storage analyzer" app.
my friends phone also missing alot of internal memory.
luckily his one rooted, can use storage analyzer to check the system partition.
saw the dalvic cache is 1GB plus. clear it and problem solved.

strange that he have such issue. never happen to me before.
i thought its an isolated case, but seems you may have it too.

thats one thing bad about android OS.. :S

- thumbnail file sizes will normally be over 1.5GB (depending on amount of photos)
- LOST.DIR folder will go up to 4GB

i regularly check once in awhile on my laptop to see if i need to delete them. haha
*
The issue u mention is different.
Both also in internal storage, the 11.5gb partition.
That one can be access by non rooted device.
Thumbnails won't be more than 1gb. It's ok since it makes pics load faster.
Lost.dir only accumulate if u have improper shutdown. Such as sod. Rampant problem when using siyah kernel last time.

What this dude have is the dalvic cache reach about 1gb.
Dalvic cache is in the /data partition. 2gb partition known as system memory in task manager.
Can't clear for non rooted users.
If u curious, u cn check ur system partition. Do dalvic cache clear, and find about 200mb increase in ur system partition. But after few days, it will use back another few hundred mb, making it back to normal.

Used to bother me alot seeing dalvic cache using so much.
Made me so paranoid. But soon realize I can just leave it. It will auto clear old memory. Don't have to keep clear myself.

this storage analyzer can pin out any unusually big file n delete it or not?

Of course. That's the point of it. U cn use it to check which while is the largest. N delete from there. But don't recommend delete things in /system and /data.

Feel free to delete stuff from ur own internal storage and micro SD card.

Found an awesome app today. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...roman.dashclock

It's called dash clock widget.
It's basically a super widget that cn display all sorts of info.
Like a live notification center.

But so sad only can be used on android 4.2
I'm using on my nexus 7, too bad s2 samsung rom only until 4.1

For those using aosp 4.2 definitely check this out. Free app.
And cn install other extention for it, like whatsapp, fb, weather, music, gmail, miss call etc.

browsing in xda, and i saw an interesting rom called chameleon rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847600

so far all the samsung based custom roms are the same.
with the same tweaks, and extra features. none of them really stand out, and they all can be categorize in the same category.
(alliance, disaster, omega, zerobug,wanam,neat)

chameleon rom stands out from the rest because its a samsung touch wiz based rom with aokp features. everything feels and looks like aokp rom.

thanks to touch wiz, hwc working flawlessly and get full butter experience, hdmi port, wifi direct and fm radio working too.

aokp rom control, provides the usual awesome tweaks and customizations. however, since dev replace all touch wiz apps (other than camera and fm radio) with stock aosp apps, it lose some features too.

pros, when compared to samsung based custom rom
~customizable aosp lock screen, 8 apps& other shortcuts. samsung lock screen only can put 4 apps, and no shortcuts such as direct call/sms.
~torch toggle in notification bar
~android 4.2 camera's tiny planet effect works. (it dont work on disaster and alliance rom)
~phone feels a tiny tiny bit faster, maybe aokp transitions are higher frame rate compared to touch wiz transitions?
~status bar swipe to control brightness (oh god i miss this feature so much!)
~can use 1 finger swipe down to expand notifications (samsung rom need 2 finger)
~aosp browser much more user friendly than samsung browser
~no bloatware, more space in system partition, i got 200MB extra
~nicer holo UI, better than aosp theme in alliance rom

cons compared to samsung custom rom
~aosp dialer no vibrate when call connected and ended
~aosp contact cant swipe to call/sms
(luckily above 2 feature is available in app called ex dialer)
~no screen timeout toggle
~no more call recording feature
~no more multi window function, seldom use anyway
~no more touch wiz task manager, sigh...kindda like it.

really a unique rom, it definitely deserve its place in the original android development section.

Just FYI there are no google apps or framework on china roms (as google is banned there)

I feel u bro. Damn leceh to flash, root & do setup. doh.gif I think i will stay with stock for a long time.  nod.gif

tongue.gif not the first time you say this.
but you still end up keep flash different roms despite little difference between them.

basically any samsung based JB rom with older kernels are 100% stable and bug free.
newer samsung kernels once start to have tweaks, will have bootloop sod etc.
so for kernels newer isnt always better.

i use alliance for such a long time. no problem at all.

recently change to chameleon rom, feels like aokp with working wifi direct/hdmi out. very satisfied.

yeah. reporting my 1st bootloop on omega after 2 weeks.
reason : i changed dpi to 200 ( no problem for two weeks )
then today i flash inverted multi DPI Market v 10.4.
dang.. at 1st can use n boot normallly.
but suddenly its auto reboot n stuck at samsung logo forever.

solution. i go to recovery, do a nandroid backup
then wipe all data/ partition/ system/preload
i install Note 2 Mini, setup all those setting
reboot

then restart again in recovery, go backup n restore, advance restore,
choose my last backup i do at 1st step above
wipe cache n dalvik, n fix permission.

reboot phone.

Voila.. im back with all my apps, message, setting etc. with brand new phone biggrin.gif
*
I don't get the point of this advance cwm restore.
If u wana move to other rom, and wana restore app from other cwm back, just use titanium backup la.

Got option to restore apps from cwm backup.
Haha.

Example rom A got issue. Flash rom B.
Use tb to restore apps and settings from rom A cwm backup.
It's possible. Did it many times.

Stock ROM 4.1.2 atill  laggy.. Thanks to touchwiz..
Now I'm on slimbean 4.2.2.. Performance on par with my Gnex
*
how to compare smooth or not in real life usage?

today i first time see a nexus 4 on display in sen heng.
i put my s2 beside it (chameleon rom, 4.1.2)

scroll home screen, launch app like settings, dialer,camera,contact,messaging, scrolling in recent app list
feel identical only the frame rate. cant test other apps, since the nexus 4 is completely empty with no apps other than stock apps.
