[Q] How to improve touch screen - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I was using ICS (UK - O2 - LP2 version if I remember well) and the touch screen was very good.
Considering I'm from Brazil, I decided to move on to the Brazilian LP4 Oficial version. Now the touch screen sensitivity is very poor. It is usable but I can't use apps that require finer touch support. For instance, drawing something is almost impossible.
Do you guys happen to know a way to improve the touch screen?
If I could get the same quality from the UK version, I'd be very happy.
Thanks very much.

Syiah kernel + extweaks
I'm not using this combo right now, but i remember there was a setting in extweaks to tweak touch sensibility, maybe this helps.

or simply change the rom to newer or if the rom you are using has no issues with other users reflash same after wiping

Im using fluxi kernel which has touchscreen presets. One of which is gingerbread style. It's just like it used to be on GB.
I think fluxi might just be for cm9 aosp aokp firmware but I'm guessing siyah will pick it up soon??

Siyah or fluxi
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Siyah has the best implementation of 'true BLN' (as opposed to an app which makes your screen flash when you have call/txt/whatever). However, there is obviously a battery penalty if you use it (small I'm told; I don't know first hand as I don't have BLN enabled because I find it an utterly useless & low-fi solution) because when BLN is 'on' it holds a wakelock, which would probably be dependent on how often BLN is in use (I.E how many txt's/missed calls you have).
I'm sure there are also Siyah ripoffs which use it as well.
Siyah kernel mate, works perfect for me

Siyah is the best for battery and BLN.
If you want only battery flash cm9 kernel.

CheckROM v4 & siyah kernel 2.4.1. Opinions..

Hello all!! I'm using the latest CheckROM with cf-root kernel... I'd like to know some opinions with this rom and siyah kernel 2.4.1... How is the battery life? Is it stable? What is the bln mod in the kitchen pro app?
Thanks in advance!!!

Err...read the thread?
I am using that combination. The Battery life is good and my phone has been stable so far and also incredibly smooth. The only issue is that the kitchen app doesn't install modifications automatically with clockwork recovery 5 so you would have to flash them manually after downloading them.
BLN is a service that can make your white capacitive buttons light up in various ways to notify you about incoming messages, missed calls etc.

I have CheckROM 4.0 + SiyahKernel 2.4.2: works very good!
Thanks for your answers!
I also use that combo. Yes it is very good. Battery life is the best I have had personally.
Oh, and the kitchen installs the updates properly for me...

Guys, why dont discuss CheckROM in CheckROM Thread?
Do you really need new thread for this conversation?
Lol @ me
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Dont mean to bump thread, but I'm also on CheckROM V4 and Siyah kernel.
When i download BLN using kitchen pro, it doesn't seem to work for me. Any help? I've tried downloading BLN from the market as well.
Siyah kernel works great with check ROM. Pretty stable and the battery life is great. But frankly speaking the differences if any are negligible. They are more of placebo. I currently use Siyah for MIUI only for the undervolting and bln support.

Have you done undervolt also?
This is the main cause.
The problem is from your kernel
what kernel are you on, to overclock the best kernel is siyah kernel for ics roms

once you do this you should't have a problem anymore

Said the man who just posted that there are no stable ICS ROMs.
Great advice about overclocking though - the OP obviously really wants to, he just ended up underclocking buy some twist of fate... Good you're here to fix it for him
You cannot possibly be for real.
may i know how to undervolt and what app should i need to use to underclocking/overclocking?
i used battery saver pro to underclocking but my phone hang and force shutdown

[Q] Stock FW vs CM9 scroll

Hey,i noticed the official sammy FW have a ''loose scroll'' ,you swype just a little, and it goes a little bit more than what you wanted, but in CM9, the touch is more ''controlled'', so, there is a way of making the ''loose'' scroll on the stock firmware more ''controlled''? just like in CM9?
Maybe installing a new kernel or another FW that doesn't happen this?
Thanks
ps:sorry for the bad english
You can try changing the kernel to something like siyah, etc they come with some tweaks to make you able to change scroll sensibility, stock is 50, you can change to higher or lower depending on your taste.
By experience, cm9 is better in every aspect...without mods
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Well, i already installed the latest Siyah kernel (4.1.5) and downloaded the Extweak app but, what i have to modify to make the scroll more controlled?
You just need to scroll to something saying sensitivity in extweaks, you will see it, change to your taste. Gud luck

Volume+ doesnt amplify headphone sound, also it dont work with JB roms as far as im aware.
There is a app called Faux sound, which has the capability, but then again it works with particular kernals, however the app developer does have some files that could be integrated somehow into any rom manually, you could take a look.

It dose boost headphone vol. It's in the settings. Have had it working on either v6 or one I'm on now but wasn't happy with quality of the sound. Rom I'm on is jb. I no on playstore it says it don't work but on mine it did it's just I wasn't happy with the sound quality. Volume+ playstore try it. If it don't work delete it and try another.
Edit: just installed to see and yes works but crap quality compered to stweaks. Also headset settings is there. Thought I was going mad there for a min. What a waste of my time. Bk to set up my stweaks :banghead:
