Hey there. I have my Galaxy SII for almost 2 years now, and remain very happt with it.
Thing is recently I upgraded from latest WanamLite ROM based on 4.1.2 JB to stock JB from Nordic countries.
My phone was somewhat slow before, but now I updated it's even slower. Opening apps takes longer than always did, opening up screen, clicks, everything! It's lagging a LOT!
I believe I did everything properly, doing all wipes, etc etc. It's running on around 550 MB RAM, so I guess it's ok, as it's always been near that for stock roms.
What could possibly make this happen? How can I fix? If I totally erase my cell, restore to factory settings and all that crap, would it help?
Thanks for any help!!!

Have you tried custom roms? I would recommend RootBox. It's very fast with loads of things to customize.
And I would recommend doing a full wipe.. You can use titanium backup to backup and restore your apps and settings
Yeah, I DO use Titanium. It's very handful!
By full wipe you mean the factory reset thing on settings?
I'll check on this ROM you talk about... thanks.

Ok. Well if you want to try RootBox it might solve your issue. You can also try a custom kernel to over clock your cpu/gpu too
Can you please tell me what's RootBox?

But my phone is not rooted and I don't want to root it yet as it is still under Samsung Original Warranty for a few months more. Can someone here still suggest me a solution? because the slowness is now fast getting onto my nerves! I can't even type a sentence properly without lags. :crying:

Use apps from the Playstore (like Super Backup).

This wipe script was recommended to me too.....I'm just a bit concerned about it....I did some digging and found that the source for it was a forum for a different phone (can't remember which one).....the question was asked (in that forum) "would it work on different phones?" And the reply was "probably not as other phones have different partition structures".....
Can @strictly.mobile please confirm or deny this.....

I was switching my phone off and then on again when suddenly all the icons and customization I made went back to factory default. My installed apps are still there but they will crash once I open them.
Is there any way to find out what is the issue and how to resolve this? My phone is rooted by the way but I have been using for a year with no problems.

Is there a guide for wipe/reset? Does this mean the phone will go back to the factory 'unrooted' state?

If you fullwipe you will lose all data on your phone exept for internal or external sd. Also this will not affect root.
This is safe exept if you're running 4.0.4, than you first have to flash a custom kernel who has the brickbug patched.

Hello all,
I've been waiting for my provider to release stock 4.1.2 but they are taking too much time...
Would you know which rom should I install to get the stock 4.1.2 and will I keep all my settings and apps ?
Also, does it have multiview and all the good stuff from the S3 ?
Lastly, I'm running stock 4.0.4 and emmc bug check says "sane chip".
Is there anything to know before upgrading to 4.1.2 ? Any trap or must know ?
Thank you all
I'll say go with alliance as great help on thread and multi window 4.1.2 change pretty much what you like to.. Look for thread alliance 7.2.

So many questions! A simple search on XDA could answer them all..
You can flash any stock firmware that your device (and carrier, if any) supports.
You may or may not lose your apps and settings after flashing a new ROM (depends). But it is advised to factory reset (wipe data) when switching from ICS to JB. You can always backup and restore, right?
Since ur on 4.0.4, do not perform factory reset before flashing JB. To wipe data while on 4.0.4, always switch to a custom (safe) kernel. There is no risk while flashing via Odin though.

I'm just extra cautious as the only time I tried to flash a rom, I didn't know about the brick bug and went straight into it...
Now my phone has been replaced and the chip is "sane" so it should be safe to factory reset.
I'll do a nandroid backup and a titanium backup but I would like not to wipe.

What are the benefits to run a stock rom ? It is more stable ?
What is it with odin. Flash through cwm. Stock is good but if your wanting more then go with multi window. Alliance is very good. Don't go with stock. These m/w come in stock form too. I like the look of stock why I choose alliance but it also has the aokp bit too so best of both worlds. Then there's rom customizer. Great app that works brill with the rom.

I use Omega, and its pretty good too.. I think Alliance is also good.. it really depends on ur choice.
I chose Omega because they have torrent download links.. In India, torrents are better to download without risk of corrupting the ROM.

Hey all,
My wife is using one of my old phones; the galaxy s2.
I currently use a Galaxy Note 2 with custom ROM and have also had the Galaxy Nexus running on a custom ROM too.
The problem is that is was a long time since i did stuff to the S2, and wanted to touch base with you all before i go ahead and flash a new ROM for the wife.
So here are the specs:
It's a GT-I9100
Currently running 2.3.4 Lite'ning ROM v6.1 xxkh3
Kernel is 2.6.35.11 ninphetamine #20
Recovery is CWM v4.0.0.2
I don't care about having the triangle at boot.
My wife wants Google Now, so the ROM has to be JB.
In about to start some researching, but whatever i find I'll just go and ask about anyways just to confirm, coz i just can't afford to screw up the wife's phone, coz she will kill me!
So is it safe to just flash a new JB ROM, or do i have to do something else first?
Thanks guys

Read the thread devoted to the rom you want to flash. Instructions/requirements will be very clear on the first page of that thread (as they are with any thread devoted to a rom/kernel I've ever seen). Follow the instructions and you won't have any problems. Don't follow the instructions & you will have problems. Simple.
Re: Time to flash 1st ROM in long time
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
The ROM i want to flash is PA 3.15 and it looks like I'm good to go, but the problem i have is that it says to update the recovery, yet in my researching I've read that the recovery is usually part of the ROM, and when looking to update my recovery, i can't update it.
So is it still safe to flash as per the instructions?
I'm just a little worried that what is currently on my phone has been there for a very long time, and what i end up flashing could brick the phone. The ROM on it may have had the recovery part of it and might disappear when i attempt to flash the new ROM...
Am i just being too cautious?

What they mean is, u need to update your stock recovery to any working CWM recovery.
So you should be fine if u go directly to Step 2.:thumbup:
FYI, recovery is a part of the kernel as well as ROM.
And if you're afraid of bricking or things going wrong, why not take a nandroid backup of your current setup?

It so happens that the I9100 and the N7000 are very similar, both in terms of hardware, as well as the firmwares Samsung produces for them.
I have found in I9100 forums discussions about practically any problem that I encountered with my device.
So, I'm well aware of the forum I'm in. Let's focus on the topic of this thread and not on forum orientation.

Agreed on that point of yours but you shouldn't expect an assured answer since we discuss exclusively for the S2 International model, btw if any of you people are using battery saver applications like Deep Sleep, some of their power saver modes are configured to turn off wifi and/or data on screen standby and to reactivate when screen on.

I'm having the same problem with my Note N7000 after flashing ultimate ROM V6. I've tried different ROMs, kernels whether Stock modded or ASOP, but to no avail. Did you get to the bottom of this really annoying wifi disconnection issue?
Hi guys,
At the beginning of this year, I flashed the phone from vr 3.0 to ics:-
Rom: ICS
And' ver: 4.1.2
Baseband: i9100XXLS6
Kernel: 3.0.31-462349 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 6 02:42:23 KST 2012
Build No: JSO54K.I9100XXLSJ
It ran okay, although now and again the phone would freeze for a couple of seconds, but then continue working fine. But over the last month it has developed the following problems:-
1. Freezes and reboots on a regular basis
2. On many occasions after reboot, battery goes from a good 90% to suddenly 10-20%
3. Even with a different battery from a friend's s2, the phone still does freeze/lock.
I have ordered a brand new battery (2000mAh) from orange, but whilst i'm waiting for that to arrive, I would like to reflash to whatever you can recommend. I want to preferably go back to the latest orange brand fw and see if that resolves the problem.
Could you please clarify the following for me?:-
1. How do i fully backup everything (excluding rom!!) and how do i restore it?
2. Is the latest Orange FW Version 4.0.3 which was released on jan 2013?
3. Once reflashed, how do i root it too?
Thanks

1. U can use Titanium Backup to fully backup all ur apps and their data. As for ur personal info (like contacts, messages), u can find many apps in the Playstore (like Super Backup).
2. Check sammobile.com to see.
3. There are many guides here on how to root ur device. Different firmwares have different methods. So I can't really say which unless I know what ur gonna flash.

hi again mate,
i managed to reflash the original 4.0.3 fw onto the s2 and although this seems slower than previous ics, i guess i'll have to try it out and see how it goes.
i've ran into a problem with ExynosAbuse though. When i click on "root device", it says "FAILURE: Could not root device". Any ideas why? what fix should i use?
Also what is a fast firmware that doesn't have too much bloatware and allows a good battery life?
Hi again,
First of all, I would like to say thanks for all the help and advice. I really appreciate it.
After flashing the orange stock rom, I found that the phone was still freezing, rebooting and battery losing it's charge. I have now got a new battery for it and that has resolved these issues which i'm very happy about.
Unfortunately, the phone is still jerky and even my new budget ZTE Blade III seems to be more faster/smoother than the S2!!
I have tried numerous roms and they all seem to be jerky.
I want to know the following please:-
1. Could it be a ram/cpu issue?
2. What rom would you say puts the least pressure on ram/cpu? Can you recommend one?
3. How do i put on the recommended rom? Odin or a different method?
Thanks!
BUMP!
1) Maybe.
2) No. Rom recommendations/threads are forbidden here:-
A) Because there's hundreds of them on here already.
B) Your experience of a rom or kernel will not be the same as mine due to different phone setup & use.
B) Given how easy it is to flash roms & kernels/backup/restore with CWM once you've rooted your phone, there's no excuse for you to not try out a bunch of roms until you find one that works well for you. If you try a rom & you find you don't like it, you restore a backup of your previous setup in 5 minutes & either try another rom or stick to your previous setup.
3) The flashing instructions for a given rom will be on the first page of the thread devoted to that rom. Most custom roms are flashed via CWRecovery, a few have Odin flashable versions. Most stock roms on the other hand are Odin flashable, tho people here have also made CWM flashable versions of some stock roms.
The advice is to read read read read read read. Not doing so is the number 1 cause of busted phones on here.
Thanks very much MistahBungle.
You see, I've already tried loads of roms and I get the same problem, i.e. the phone apps work flawlessly, but there is a lag when i scroll through the home screens. I thought it might be the bloated orange stock rom, so tried villianrom, neatrom and many others. I tried to also clear the ram, just incase it's a lack of memory issue, but had no luck.
Can you recommend anything else?
*coughs*
Didn't read 2) eh ? No. I won't recommend you a rom. Because it may not solve your problems & you won't have the same experience as me.
Edit - Oh. Right. 'Other' recommendations. Well, the lag you're talking about (in my experience) seems to often be kernel related. Perhaps try a bunch of kernels rather than roms ? 'Clearing' ram will often make system lag worse. Android does a pretty good job at memory management, so there's no need to 'clear ram'. You may notice that Android often doesn't leave a lot of 'free' ram, this is by design. It tends to reserve free ram for 'itself'/system processes in case it needs it at short notice, this is somewhat normal.
sorry mate, i think you've misread what i'm asking...i'm not asking for a rom recommendation, but i want to know if there is anything i could do to improve the scroll lag/jerk effect?
Yep - read my edit.
Good idea, thanks very much. Although i assumed that a stock rom would have a good kernel.
Is it hard to install a kernel on an unrooted phone? FYI, I plan to install Neatrom (apps removed) it comes with Kernel: XWLSS-v5.00.4-PhilZ. Don't know if this is any good???
Some kernels have Odin flashable versions, some not. Personally speaking, I'd prefer rooted & flash via CWRecovery because its easy.
Can't speak for that particular kernel, never tried it. Never tried the rom either.
Cheers buddy.
Hopefully once i flashed Neatrom using Odin, then i should be able to root it.

FYI, u don't need to root NeatRom, as it is already rooted.
And Philz kernel is the stock kernel itself. If you want to try a different kernel than stock, try Siyah or Dorimanx.

If ur on NeatRom (which has a custom CWM recovery), its very easy:
1. Download the correct custom kernel (in zip format) from XDA.
2. Copy it to ur phone.
3. Boot into CWM recovery.
4. Flash the kernel zip (just like flashing a custom rom).
5. Wipe cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions in recovery.
6. Reboot.
7. Give the new kernel a few days to settle.

Thanks so much immortalneo. I know some of us noobs will bang on about the same issues, again and again, but it's just a jungle out there with the choice of roms etc. Also i want is the least bloated rom and smooth screen etc.
Now i know i've may have already asked this earlier, but immortalneo, would you know which kernel is known to have fast speed?
