Hey got the Revolt rom (jelly bean ) today for my samsung galaxy s2 i9100g, but I am dissapointed for some aspects. Any solution to these problems will be appreciated.
1. Wifi just does'nt turn on.
Cannot turn on wifi. The slide wifi menu on the top does not work. In settings, they say " turning on " but that goes on for over and hour and still no change. This is the most annoying among the glitches.
2.No widgets???
No widgets? Are you serious??? One of the android's main plus points are the widgets, and you cant add widgets to your homescreen by long pressing it. If it is possible how to do this?
3.Play button does'nt work!
The play button at the top of the menu does not work! Wtf! That was one of the best things in jb.
4.Solid explorer trial expired from the biginning
Solid explorer, one of the featured aspects of this rom, does not run just cuz the trial expired from the very first moment of opening it? And we've got no other loaded file managers also...
I need a solution to these...fix these please devs....

If so does it solve any of my below issues ?
Posted Image [Q] CM9 on Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 3 UK Network Provider
New to this forum so apoligies if this post is in the incorrect place.
I rooted and installed CM9 last night and tried to follow the noob guide which was not that clear especially when you don't know what flash means. I know I am a real noob I ended up finding a great video by searching Samsung galaxy s2 root. Had all the links and latest version of cf root.
I have to say CM9 is what the S2 should of been like !
I have a few questions though. Sorry in advance if these are noobie questiins.
1. On stock ics for my device when i chose a picture from gallery for wallpaper it would let you choose if you wanted it in portrait or across 3 parts. Now I have a box which I have to adjust and I can never get the size correct !!!
2. How do I get a seperate picture on my lock screen.
3. How do I get camera to save to SD card , there is no option in camera settings ?? would this be because google devices have no sd slot ? is so how can i change this?
4. How do I get the cool unlock effect then after I do that get the pin option ?
5. Anyway of adjusting keyboard options like key size (way to small at the moment) and feedback as vibration is too strong at present.
6. How do I get folders in the app draw ? Can only do it on homescreen. Very annoying as could do this previously and I am ocd with these things.
7. Found that if I use the camera there is a very slight pink splodge in the center of the screen. Never had this before ?
8. No 3G but i do get the H symbol occasionallyy pop up??
9. Battery life poor and really really much worst whilst using gps.
10. gps takes at least 5 mins to get a signal on navigation / maps even when i have it fully on.
11. How can I get notification numbers on the text and email symbol on the homescreen ? beleive its on stock ics.
12. Anyone know if whilst in rom manager I can update to the latest nightly build and is this the best way to update my phone now i am on cm9 ?
13. Sometimes my homescreen swipes are inaccurate ?
14. keyboard presses sometimes dont vibrate but letter appears?
15. anyone know how to get music player to look like this. http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-con...sic.jpg?139d23. the cm9 one looks grey and dull and has less options.
16. my videos on my sd card wont play ??
17. lost notes which came with the s2? where can i find it ??
18. how can i get gestures like cm7
19. how can i change themes as the option seems to be unavailable in the menu e.g its there but wont let me press it ?/
Thanks in advance. I know there are lots of questions here and all the little things here won't put me off using cm9 as its sooo much better than stock !!
You already have the same thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590799
And you posted this in general section
Should be in Q/A
ok, so I read around the web and xda and didn't found any reasonable solution to this frustrating bug...
when the screen is of, it takes around 1-2 seconds to wake up...regardless if I press home button or power button...
I tried stock rom, flashed another samsung based, AOSP, AOKP and the lag is present on every rom...even with a fresh install, restored apps, installed everything manually...
tried removing sd card and still nothing
is anyone experiencing this also? is there a fix?
please help out, it is driving me crazy!!
btw can this be used to fix this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744655
What's so important in your life that you can't wait one second?
Install an app to keep a wakelock and you'll have instant-wake. But get used to plugging your phone in.
BTW, linking to a kernel for the Samsung Vibrant and asking if it will help ... wow.
why the flame? no one is born perfect, not even you
it is annoying because the sg2 is the one of the best phones out there with impressive hardware and it sould be without bugs like this...
I linked that topic because there is something about this lag that may be helpful...
btw, xda search engine provided the link
JKAY's framework v 14.0
have you tried JKAY's new framework for ICS v14.0 .. it has a lot of new options and settings to personalize or S2 just the way u want it
including it has 2 precious options :
1)fast unlock ( can be found under lockscreen options >>set common options )
2)fast lock ( can be found under set misc settings )
I found a topic related to this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29994420#post29994420
so even though JKAY has this feature, it is not a fix but a battery drain...
the app softlocker cures it but does use a little more battery
I have zero lag at all.. You can try my setup in my signature if you care that much

Hi guys,
i been having this very annoying problem with my GS3 LTE (9305) but when i compare to other GSIII's it seems only mine behave like this but i cant find any reason or any option for the cause.
Basically the problem is that when i call someone and the phone screen goes to off sometime i want to wake up the screen and press the button below the screen and what my phone does is to minimize the call application but on my friends phone the call application stays and only the screen is turned on.
Can you guys please help me finding the root cause to why my call application minimizes itself when the screen is off?
I been searching for every option there is and cant find anything useful, also i have never installed any other dialer application or anything like that.
Please help me this is getting me nuts.

I tested on a GSII LTE + GSIII + Note2 and all are running JB and works fine on their phone.
If it is a bug i hope Samsung fixes it soon, its been a while i got an update and this thing is so annoying.

I meant Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean roms... Jkays framework fixes this issue.
If i recall correctly it has something to do with a setting in s-voice I think. Also it happens with any application when the screen turns off.

Yes, this issue isn't unique to the dialler. If you let the screen timeout with any application then press the home key, it returns to the home screen.
The workaround is to make sure than in the S-Voice settings, you have "Open via the home key" option set. After this, a single home key press will wake the device without returning to the home screen.
Ask this question in the appropriate section

Sadly that didnt work either. I had actually S Voice disabled but enabled and did what you said but it still minimizes the call application
EDIT: very strange , tested calling 4-5 times and suddenly after my friend called me it started working. I called my other cell before and it works fine now. THANK ALLOT MAN.
EDIT2: funny i tried to disable S-Vice again and to my surprise it stil works.
Greetings my fellow XDA experts,
I have a Galaxy S2 (i9100) International version on the NeatROM 4.8 ( XXLSW). What has happened is that my Softkeys are dead and unresponsive.
There is no illumination and response from them. So I have a phone without the menu and back buttons, which implies that I have a f**ked up iPhone like phone with just one Home button to function with.
I took the phone to the service center and they said it's a single piece with the display so the entire display would need to be replaced which is unreasonable and needless since the display works absolutely perfect.
So I was thinking of a remedy in terms of the ROM I use with the phone. Is there any custom ROM available for the S2 which would enable me to use a part of the display as the MENU and BACK buttons itself ? Like the Nexus 4 has ? I don't mind losing out on screen space to enable me to get those buttons back.
Please do suggest me any such ROM's or methods through which I can use the phone without having to change a fully functional touchscreen display. Spending so much just to get the Soft key functionality back is plain ridiculous and a pure manufacturing drawback from Samsung. Yuck
Anyways, please do help with any pointers.
Thanks and Cheers !

You'll be hard pressed to find a 4.2.2 ROM that doesn't have some sort of on-screen control. Do a bit of searching around on XDA of all the 4.2.2 ROMs, look at screenshots etc. Navigation bar is the same style as a Nexus 4. Pie controls are a method of on-screen control. AOKP ribbons are also for on screen control. There's probably more. Then there exist ROM's which attempt to mimic the AOSP, Nexus-style experience. Plenty to choose from.

So basically My ROM territory is now limited to any 4.2.2 AOSP/AOKP Rom's ? Do all of them have on-screen navigation?
Like the Parandroid? No more Sammy Rom's obviously.

Hmm well I imagine you could find some lower than 4.2.2 with those controls if you wanted to, but no need to if you don't want. You can use ParanoidAndroid if you want, search my posts for a link for i9100, I posted it yesterday or the day before I think. It won't be the first link you find on Google thats for sure, version 3.6 is the latest. As far as 'limited to 4.2.2 AOSP/AOKP'.... Depends how you see it. I don't see it as a 'limitation'. Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23231772. Go through AOKP and AOSP till you find something you like. Bear in mind that the AOKP contains waaay more than just plain AOKP, there's hybrid (combos of CM,AOKP,PA, AOSP usually) and all sorts in there.
Enable Navigation Bar in AOSP/AOKP roms etc for getting these functions back.
Alternatively if you want navigation bar in Sammy Roms you can still have them , look for soft key enabler in play store or else you can edit build.prop of your phone , there will be option of soft keys , change it from 0 to 1.
Use pimp my rom it have a option for on screen buttons (back menu and recents) so you can have any rom

S2 soft keys not working
Issue seems to be related to the usb charging receptacle. As long as a good charging cable is connected, the soft keys work. They work for a short time after unplugging and then stop working again.

Ok I have a galaxy note i717. I have 2 problems that are absolutely horrible. One problem is if I recieve a phone call and have certain apps or games either open or were just open, my phone freezes. When I say freeze I mean all I hear is my ringtone, I have no way to answer, and my phone is a paper weight till I power cycle it, once I turn it back on I see no missed calls, and have no idea who called me. The other is I slide to unlock my phone and it is extreemely slow, I press a button and wait an average of about 3-5 seconds before it opens, and every button I push is just as slow, this problem seems random, but I think it has something to do with the other problem. I am right now running black jelly, it is not the rom as all the Jelly Bean Roms have this problem. One solution posted is to revert it to stock ics then have Samsung do the upgrade to Jelly Bean, then reroot it, same problem and did not change. I really want to get a good Jelly Bean rom that works for my i717. I can get any ICS Custom Rom to work correctly, so I will revert it just to get normal functionality, if no one knows how to fix this. This is the last thing I am going to try before reverting back to ICS. Any help is appreciated.

I am not an expert but I would suggest Downgrade to the Stock Rom 2.3.6 and then start from that process.

That made it much better I removed my screen saver, and also turned power saver mode off. After I changed that setting the phone worked correctly most of the time. It still runs slow sometimes, but I just turned power saving mode off, so we will see, thanks for the help, the ripple screen lock was doing something bad as it got much better when I removed it.
I tested my phone for a few days, it seems the phone call thing is fixed, thanks for the info about the ripple screen saver. Only problem I currently have is if I forget and leave my game running on a certain screen that is animated and it screen locks, when I unlock and start using the phone it is extreemely slow. A simple restart fixes it, and I am fine with that as my phone actually works correctly most of the time. I was researching the problem and the GPU settings may be the answer, but I have no idea what settings need to be set. One setting is Force GPU rendering ( use 2d hardware acceseration in applications) currently it is turned on. Was thinking also kill all background processes, I really don't know, Anyone out there an expert with GPU or how to finish tweeking my phone.
