2.3.7 for Samsung GS 2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, can some one post links for 2.3.7 & instructions for download? My phone is Samsung GS 2 I9100. I've seen people talking about this is a stable firmware. I just upgraded to 2.3.5 yesterday and 2.3.6 is causing battery drainage I might as well upgrade to 2.3.7 if it's that good.
A big thanks if some one can help.

look at the other thread of cyanogenmod 7 development for Samsung Galaxy 5 device)
Since I'm a developer of the Cyanogen port for this phone, let me answer:
Until the major bugs are fixed, we recommend you use Froyo. However, you will probably enjoy testing Cyanogen 7 for a day or so, if you can forgive the bugs.

In my current ROM - Indic font rendering is not working properly. I replaced DroidSansFallback.ttf in font folder. It is having right font now, however Conjuncts are not working. Any idea about that..
Also is it taken care in Cyanogen 7
CyanogenMod
I'm using the subpsyke's CyanogenMod and it's really good. A little slow but whatever
I recommend CyanogenMod 7.1 hotfix 1.4 .. is f***ing stable and works fast....I like this very much....ADW Launcher is incredible.I like that the menu was changed from that page format to grid...I got a lot of apps and games and they works fine.
Cyangen mod
i use Cyanogen Mod 7,1, and has overclocked my phone to 768mhz.
Its a new phone, me like it now.
I would definitly choose Cyanogen over original rom.

[Q] Android 2.3.6 for Galaxy S2?

Hi Guys,
Terrible newbie question here; I have searched briefly but haven't found an answer.
Is Android 2.3.6 available for the Galaxy S2? I'm still on 2.3.3 and am bored of waiting for OTA updates.
I've seen that there is a 2.3.5 ROM available here on these forums but don't see the point in upgrading to that now then 2.3.6 is out...
Can anyone help me with my question for up-to-dateness?
Thanks.
2.3.4 just released today in some Nordic countries, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269607. Then 2.3.5, 2.3.6...
So why did you search about 2.3.6? Update to 2.3.4 first!

I was just going by Wikipedia which says the current Android version is 2.3.6....
Is there any indication from Samsung when they'll be pushing out 2.3.4 to the UK devices?
I would love to get a basic installation really without all of the Samsung crap on it. :\

Actually the current Android version is 2.3.7 for NFC capable devices, stop thinking about official 2.3.6, they barely launched official 2.3.4 for northern europe.
I'm in Spain southern Europe and still no 2.3.4. But I have had a few 2.3.3 updates which is fine by me. I love this phone.

stupid question our device is NFC capable isnt it? and well even if it is we dont have that over here in the UK anyway the NFC spots were to use it

Nope, european version doesn't have NFC, only korean and an american version if i'm not mistaking.
Just for future references, Google releases new Android OS versions, it first shows up in Nexus Phones. Then, manufacturers need to get the lastest OS to build their new ROM around it with their own skin/theme. This typically takes couple months and then a new ROM leaked or released. So, typically you will see a new Samsung ROM about 6 months later. You can't download or install Android OS directly. You have to wait for OEM to built it.

I advice you, if you want a stock rom, flash XWKJ3 2.3.5, is the best firmware for SGS2..

Battery life on CFW/ROM/Stock

Greetings,
I'm about to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S2 2.3.5 into one of the followings:
1- cyanogen latest version.
2- Miui latest version.
3- Android original stock jellybean.
And i need to know which one of them is the best for battery life cause it is my main requirment.
Thanks in advance,
Futeki
WTF? Stock Jellybean? xD
Battery life depends mostly on the kernel. Just try few kernels and ROMs on your own and you will find the best combination for you.

Kernel determines the battery life, as far as I'm concerned, irrespective of the Rom

what is difference between "galaxys2" and "i9100 intl". on cyanogenmod site? help?

what is difference between "galaxys2" and "i9100 intl". on cyanogenmod site? help?
Because i dont get iit because you have in the list on github 'galaxy s2' (that where you go when you look in devices and click on galaxy s2 you go to github but it only goes to cm9)
And i look in the list on the left i see 'i9100' that also a galaxy s2 so i look it says international version and has cm10. So what is that i dont get it? Whats the difference?
I know it has cm10.1 bit why not on official CM site?
Sorry for al my mispels i write terible.
I9000 is the samsung galaxy known as the captivate.
I9100 is the samsung galaxy S2 upgraded verion of the samsung galaxy.
there are big difference in the how the phones are constructed.
cm10 is the newest version and deleveloped based on the latest software.
cm9 is anolder version based on gingerbread.
as to your other question cannot understand what you are trying to say.

cm10 is newer version of the foirmware and will work on sgs2. It is an upgrade of cm9.
Since it custom firmware, you must make the choice to flash it or upgrade it. Does not come as stock firmware or automatically upgradeable via kies.

euh dont think you get it.
sorry but my question is on hte github on cynaogenmod where you download roms, there are 2 galaxys2
one is named galaxys2 and the other i9100
so when i press ggalaxys2 i get only cm9.... so i click then on the i9100 and goes to page there is writen galaxy s2 international version.....
and has cm10
so why does the galaxys2 dont have it?
okay im telling it wrong,
but still thx to awnser me but i know every thing about custom roms etc...
but don,t get why cyanogenmod has 2 names from one phone.
but i dont care XDA has more fun roms.
you have a galaxy s2? do you know if hdmi out (or mhl out) and usb host works on non stock based roms like cm10 etc...? cant find a awnser for that
Mhl only properly works properly (mirrors display) on stock Samsung ROMs on other ROMs only local videos and YouTube videos play through mhl

CM10 is based on JB
CM9 was based on ICS.
CM8 was reserved for HC but was never used.
CM7 was based on GB
And the users question has nothing to do with the I9000.
I wonder the same thing actually. On cyanogenmod download page there are both galaxys2 and i9100.
galaxys2 have cm9
and i9100 have cm10 nightlies
Links: (cant post actual link without 10 posts)
galaxys2 - download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=galaxys2
i9100 - download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100
My phone:
Model: GT-I9100
Baseband: I9100XXLPX
CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 1
I'm from Sweden.
So with my phone, should I download cm9 from galaxys2 or would cm10 work from i9100 page?
Anyone understands me?
Thanks.
Both would work
But please do a full wipe before flashing if you are not already on cm to avoid problems

I get you! Though I have no clue why did they do that I can recommend you to go for cm10.1 or CM10 from "i9100"! galaxys2 is for the old cm9 version... I suppose they did it so because the galaxy S2 still didn't get its official jb update and some people still prefer ics hence they dont wan't to stop development for cm9 for s2 and merge it! I suppose after the official jb is released they'll merge it with i9100! Don't forget to thank!
