Sorry for the rather ominious title. But its hard to actually picking a proper title for some subject :/
I have had a SGS2 for a couple months now and I have had a few issues with it that I hope some of you might be able to help with.
1:
I stood at an army training ground and was recording FullHD video with the phone but when it dropped to 15% battery it refused to record anymore or take pictures. Is there some way to "mess with" or hack it to simply keep recording till the battery is dead?
2:
I had a circular battery mod for my phone which worked fine of the original rom which was KE7 for a Nordic phone. But now trying to flash the same battery mod with CWM bootloops my phone . I have tried to see if I can find any battery mods like it, but the only ones I have been able to find so far has been the kind that uses the regular battery icon and just adds the percentage.
I would actually like the circular one as I prefer that one, but is there even one that would work on the KH3 Rom?
3:
I see people mentioned Deodexed and odexed as terms, but what does that mean and what is the actual difference between the 2 of them?
I hope someone might be able and willing to help with either all of the 3 questions or just some of them. And thanks in advance for your time.

I see you use CMW recovery so you must be rooted
this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198334
Along with the Villain tweak app provides everything your after easily.
There are also lots of themes in the thme section for your tweeking needs
This is a KG6 rom but there isnt much difference imho.
Deodexing basically means files/things are easier to mess around with.
Problem is I like the stock feel of the Rom, hence why I have never really bothered flashing something like MRC, Cynoagen, Villian etc.
I prefer to just keep things normally and then "tweak" the few things I am not entirely happy with. So I was primarily looking for fixes/hacks that could be applied on an existing rom rather then a full new rom entirely.
But thanks for the suggestion regardless

A man after my own heart! thats good because Villain is completely stock Samsung just pretty much Deodexed, no themes no bulls**t.
The only tweaks/themes that are applied will be by you
Also If you like Cyanogen you could always check the version for the sgs2 its pretty complete now only a few things left to sort out (bluetooth being the major one).
Well I just flashed the KH3 rom just the other day and I would like to actually give that one a tryout before deciding to try another rom .
But the only thing that really bugs me is why the phone so stubbornly decides to stop wanting to use the camera at 15%. I mean there must be a hacked camera.apk out there that works for me ratehr then having to flash a completely different rom to get what I "want".

this is really a question that no one can answer except as why THEY like it.
the best thing you can do is just flash them and use them for a day or 2 and see which one you like the best.
i have ran all the roms for at least 4 days....and im using SolrisPrime now. which im am really liking at the moment.
just try them, they all have there own little things that are different, whether it be Apps, themed, scripts, toggles or whatever else that Dev wants to throw in there.
I think OP has a valid point in asking which is overall most stable.. least bugs. I'm curious on this as well as I've considered flashing a ROM but as from what I've read on them, I couldn't find any that seemed stable and fast enough to justify switching from stock.
Iblike Saurom, I'm gonna try SolarisPrime this week-end but I don't expect something alot better with Solaris than with Saurom. Personally, I make my choice on a theme I like more than on the spec.
saurom seems to be pretty stable. and if you are new in flashing like me then ...i think its good start with saurom....where you can discover new stuff without worrying about phone crashing and bla bla bla...the only problem i saw so far is that you cant turn the phone off ( atleast mine dont turn off completely ) it turns right back on... i was told to go deluxe settings and and uncheck power off.... i did that but it still does that....other then that i havent seen any problems yet....1.9ghz???? i havent seen on my phone yet but other people say that they have seen it.....1.7 on my phone.....my phone has not yet crashed or done anything stupid....you can get 3g 4g with tmobile modems...i got 7mbps on mine ( i am in bad area ) and hope it will increase when i am in good area or when i am near civilization.....hell i am in wyoming....i cant expect anything better then this....roms are like women...take your pick...they will kill you anyways...so what the heck ...be a man and take it....try it and learn how to love them and try to get the best out of it....thats all my friend....dont be scared its just a phone you are talking about...dont be scared...
A search would have told you there is no best rom. And we dont do best rom threads on XDA.
I picked up a note cheap,it is android 4.1.2,and has jelly beer 3.34,it is rooted,my question is do you know of any screen rotation issues,I can turn the phone and it will swithch to the sideways mode but when I turn it back like a phone it stays stuck until I hit the home button,I have tried every kind of setting on the launcher and the regular display settings.I also cant find screen calibration to recalibrate,thanks for any help
A rotation mod may have been used on the device prior to your getting it...
there may also be other modifications to the device you are not aware of, but without seeing it, I cant say for sure.
this much I do know, that it's a rom related issue..
check the rom thread here on xda for a potential solution, as I'm sure it's been addressed in that area...g

try flshing eclipse by manelscout- most stable for me, a different rom, or that one again
I would love to be able to keep my evo stock, and unrooted. But at the same time make the battery icon show the battery percentage. And also be able to update the sense to the newest version. Well I can dream can't I?

Can't you just remove root when you're done customizing? At the very least, you can tell superuser to deny all root requests automatically
If you're asking whether it's possible to do what you want on a pure stock evo phone: No.
What you are describing is pretty much "why should I root my phone? " in a nutshell
I know all about rooting and everything. I was just saying it would be nice to be able to do things like that. This phone is working very very well for me so far. I really don't want to jinx myself and root it, and then have something happen. I'm gonna do a lot more research on this phone, and make sure that I know it inside and out. It's so much different than the LG Optimus slider I had. Just trying to be cautious sence this is my primary phone. Once i get a custom recovery installed and have my nandroid backup saved. Then its fair game to get the most I can outta this beast. Thank you for the reply. I'm glad this isn't a dead forum like the LG one was.(everywhere I might add)

Its pretty much dead now, we had lot more going on here few months back. And at the beginning of 2012 we had a new ROM or mod every 12 hrs. But anyway you have have everything that is possible on this phone...

Why not put a custom rom on it? HTC phones are pretty much nearly unbrickable.
Yeah. I was pretty much just making a statement about how nice it would be to be able do that. But the stock Rom is working just fine at the moment. Trust me after coming from the slider, this phone is like a dream come true already. I had that thing as custom as you could get it. Like they say if it isn't broken don't fix it! I'll probably end up rooting and all of that eventually. But for now I'm just gonna enjoy it like it is.
Just an update. I did finally decide to root. Left S-on for the time being. Still lovin this phone.

i too am loving this phone, but i know where ya coming from ! ...
just want there to be a stripped back jellybean update that FULLY SUPPORTS all the phone INCLUDING all 3D functions !
as thats why i got a 3d phone ! i dont really understand why you would want to remove that function ! ?
and to have all icons, and colours custom ... bascily a leedroid tweaks for jellybean !
Why do none of the many skins/mods ive tried newer than Gingerbread not allow the signal icons change colour upon its strength !?
(thats green for strong going through yellow, then to red as low !)
unless i have missed something here ??

the EVO 3D was a commercial failure (but popular in the development comm.) for HTC, which is why it never got the proper support it should've got. it only received ICS because it was released on VM after Sprint and even then it was half assed. as for JB, never gonna happen be it official (HTC) or unofficial (dev. community). most Sense development has ceased as many devs. have moved on..
There are apps for percentage in status bar and maybe sime launcher like new sense.. But im afraid thats all you can do but i loved this phone before flashing but after getting s-off it finally unleashed its full power i will never come back to stock
Hi guys, kindly take my post serious, and give me honest opinions, let me explain my situation.
Like many of you, I have LG G2, International 802, i am confused whether to flash 4.4 Custom ROM (CM11 seems to be only relaible choice) or stay at stock 4.2.2 because phone is just a phone and all Apps work anyway.
Unlike most of you, i am from Pakistan, i purchased G2 brand new in Black, because its not launched officially here, which means i am under no warranty or unroot problems to get repairs etc. from company, so losing warranty is not an issue for me.
I am confused, whether to root, flash CM 11 or stay on stock and wait for official 4.4. I know even official 4.4 will look same as 4.2.2. Stock android look like Nexus is my preference, i like it, but reading so many people having troubles with custom ROMSs, and the difficulty, makes me confused, either to stay as it is, or make a move and flash CM11.
My past experience of flashing ROMs, was when i had back up Xperia 10 mini, i use to flash CM9 on it easily and use to go back on stock as well, which android 2.1 for it.
Guys kindly with your experience, should i go for flashing, install CWM recovery, official semi touch one and flash CM11 in normal way, or should i stay satisfied as i am today? will flashing CM11 and its bugs going to ruin my daily use?
Also tell me, i read intensively how to come back to stock, but many people having trouble in that as well?
Should i make a move or should i sit idle? I know many users like me, must confused like me, your help can be fruitful for us?
I'd say go for cleanrom or rayglobe and find some mods for stock lots of things you can do with xposed

Thanks for your kind reply, being less familiar with ROMs, i assume that CM11 is the best and relatively more professional then most other ROM developers, i feel there product have more chance of being less buggy, thats what i assume, since going closer to stock android is my goal, not the tweaks as yet, in hate i hate processor option in CM11, why a user need to mess with clocking. I can be wrong here, frequent ROM user must know better which ROMS are more stable.
Xposed, i think i can use that with stock LG ROM as well, well i don't want to change menu bar and notification bar because i read in xposed forums, lots of people are having not to smooth time with it, it must be ok but i am ok without it, smaller bar or normal bar. Only thing i dont like about LG stock menu bar is, no multitasking key.
So you suggest me, to dive into a custom rom and you prefer a clean ROM for me.

I miss look and feel of stock android, stock is LG is sort of rip off, of Touch Wiz, i don't need air gestures, i need smoothness, fluidness, i like dark colours of stock pull down bar, and other things of my friends Galaxy Nexus.
The first thing I did after verifying the G2 I received was a keeper (first one was a dud) was install a different rom. I went though several 4.3 roms and even tried some of the 4.4 roms that came out but in the end as of right now I running a lite version of the stock rom (Malladus). I didn't think I would ever run stock but I found a lot of the features I enjoyed with custom roms I was able to get by using Xposed and stock seemed to be more stable and I really wanted a fully functional camera. Even though there are still a few things about the stock rom I don't like, they are very minor and i can live with them.

Well, thanks for the reply, i know stock has features, most i don't use, incredibly i don't knock on either, as i got use to of buttons, yeah, call and sms blocker, i hope CM11 may have them, i want to change for the look and feel of Stock android, and hopefully fluidness, as far as features are concerned, LG stock must have them all covered?
So you have reverted back to LG stock rom, lite version, then why not the official stock rom? HMM.

I mainly went with a lite stock rom for the debloat. I did run official stock and just disable things that I didn't want running but even after that there were a few things I couldn't disable plus I don't care for a lot of the LG apps. Malladus has a base that is debloated with most of the LG apps but also provides a LG App package that you can flash afterwards for those that want the LG Apps.. seemed like the best of both worlds. I will admit I did manually install a few of the left out LG apps like the Remote and Quick Memo.
OP this is solely on you, only you can figure out what will be your daily driver/ROM. With so many variables involved with Members, apps/usage so on....you have to just flash and test. Just because one has the same device does not mean you will have the same outcome or results.
Thread closed due to these kind of Threads, bring trolling and unneeded posting.
Merry Christmas.
