Develop Bugs

New to the S2, Tell me what to do!

I got tired of the Sensation and got a t mobile store to match Best Buys price of $199.99 on the Gs2. So far im loving the phone. Rooted and flashed Juggernaut 4.1. I guess my only disappointment would be the dev support here. I made the mistake of assuming it would be similar to the i9100.
But anyways, any other suggestions of what i should do to my phone? opinions on what is the best rom/kernel? so far i have only tried juggernaut, its smooth as hell, but I always love trying new roms. Any stable miui roms?

well u did the essentials, its possible to run roms from the samsung skyrocket too (remember to read the instructions first)
only thing i can say is to use your phone.

that's awesome. will i find the instruction in the skyrocket forums or around here?

Yes the instructions are on this link. only thing u are doing different is after u flash the rom u flash a conversion file then whatever kernel u want. aosp roms dont work according to the thread only touchwiz based roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360355
heres the miui rom
camera, data, in call audio and a few other things dont work on it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392705

thanks. seems like im going to be up for a while flashing roms. any suggestions?

juggernaut and dewizzed run fine for me, i havent really played with the other roms that much myself

Enjoy this powerful piece of tech...

I have flashed a few roms from the internal usb storage, but i noticed the instructions for a few roms say to install from external sd card. is it recommended to flash from external sd?

IMO You have done the best you can do with this phone at this point.
Also I must say I made the same mistake thinking that this phone had the same support as the i9100.
Best bet is to stay where you are at and wait for CM9

That's what I plan on doing. The Sensation was rumored to be getting ICS within a month or two... any eta for the gs2?

Samsung already said this phone would also be getting ICS by March or April if memory serves. So if it's CM9 or Sammy, we will get ICS

True, but after how Samsung has been slapping TW over ICS, I am not looking forward to there ICS anytime soon. Hopefully CM9 will produce something for our phone soon.

I thought about switching to another gs2 varient but I like that this phone can use both att and tmobile 3g. Also didn't wanna spend a extra $100 for the g nexus.
It's kinda neat having lots of choices for roms but my only reason for flashing roms were to remove bloat and run a little bit better than stock. With this phone it runs better stock than most phones with their best kernels and roms flashed.

Very true. I LOVED my sensation but this phone is faster stock than the sensation was with any rom.

I've never used voodoo but from what I've heard its nothing short of amazing

I use voodoo sound on my sgs. Wouldn't use a rom or phone without it. This entices me a little more to get a GNex.

The general sound improvement on the SGS1 with voodoo-sound compared to stock was night and day. Seriously.
So good in fact that coming to the Galaxy Nexus was a bit of a bummer. It's not as good as the SGS1 with Voodoo sound.
The SGS1 went from beeing averagely OKish to ZOMG IS THIS IMPROVEMENT SOFTWARE ALONE? It completely revived my Shure earbuds and my entire MP3 library.
If Francis can do anything remotely close to that on my Galaxy Nexus, there is absolutely nothing on this phone I will be complaining about.

Lol. Atm, and the big picture is don't have time to look at the details. I wasn't looking for an answer like josteink gave. I am looking for a short precise answer like it it custom equalizer, supercurio enhanced, something like audio enhanced or does it correct some flaws in the chip or fill in the gaps. I see too many posts about how good it is rather than why it's good. That's all. Haven't been on xda much lately. Breaking in new equipment and getting more. Video and audio equipment actually. Miss plasma. And great stereo. I am seriously considering getting a turntable because even with vinyl's flaws there is a lot to be enjoyed with it and I miss that.

ICS Builds and Car Docks

Has anyone had any luck getting the SGSII Car dock to work with any of the ICS builds floating around?
Really want to switch to ICS but for me my car dock is a must.
Thanks!

yeah I love ICS but I need my car dock the only workaround that I have done was take the aux cable off and put it on the headphone jack of the phone but that defeats the purpose of having the official car dock.

Not car dock, but with the official Samsung desk dock...no go with ICS. Screen NEVER times out and sleeps! Fine with Gingerbread, however.

Well we need a fix for both because its just terrible having to crank up the speakers and have barely any sound
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App

I don't have a dock to test this with unfortunately.
Can somebody describe the issue to the fullest detail possible?

Normally I hook up the dock with the dock setting of volume through speakers. With ics the volume is really low even though both the phone and car speaker volume is set to max.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App

I experience the same thing as bykr_dude15 explains, with all ICS roms. I can turn my radio and phone volume up as high as they go and can just barely hear the audio coming out of the car speakers.
If anyone comes up with anything to test, put it in this thread and I'll be more than happy to give it a try on my phone.

Same here. Having the exact same issue. I can try and get logcats for you if that would help.

I wonder if its a kernel problem. But I too would be happy to test it because this is the only reason I don't want to use the ics roms
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App

So I broke down and just plugged a cable into the headphone jack for now because ICS is working so damn good on my phone I don't want to go back. but it is a real drag.
I am really thinking this is a kernal issue and can be fixed maybe with the use of something like this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.muteheadlight.dockredir&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5tdXRlaGVhZGxpZ2h0LmRvY2tyZWRpciJd
People are having to use this with CM9 also. Just needs to be built into the kernal I guess??

Yeah bro, it's gotta be the colonel. Perhaps Colonel Sanders.
Actually, I'm just messing with you; I have no idea. I didn't even read the thread. I know this is totally off-topic, but, you gotta have at least a few off-topic posts, right?
But yeah, ICS is sweet. There were a lot of 'behind-the-scenes' changes that caused some awesome breakage, though.

New ICS leak fllashable is out in the dev section..anyone willing to try it just to see if it fixes this issue?

I just tried the new ICS leak you mentioned and it didn't fix the issue for me.

Still a no go. Been trying everything that hits the Dev section but have to keep returning to Tuesday|Blu|Ray so I can use my docks.

same problem with me... luckily I found a thread to post on...
I got the AOKP ROM for my AT&T Galaxy S2 i777 ... There is simply no option for the audio to be re-routed through the desktop dock [Samsung Official Desktop Dock] ... I did however got audio after plugging the AUX cable into the headphone jack, of course...
But one thing though, I found this app, called the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector... but it says the ROM isn't supported... maybe it could be modded in some way?
I asked task650, and he said that it's only possible if the AOKP team includes it...
But I kinda wanna get it right now... I'm willing to try any hacks/mods to do this...
Thanks

Possible fix for JB/CM10/AOKP low volume issue?

My co worked who used to have an ET4G and now has a Galaxy Nexus stumbled upon this MOD. Knowing how must of us running any jb ROM have low headphones/aux issues I thought I could post this to try and help.
There is a tiny problem though.... I flashed this last night. I successfully booted my phone but once everything loaded my phone froze up and just powered cycled. I tryied flashing it with different gapps combinations and different jb ROMs. So with that said... do any of you devs or anyone that want to try to modify this MOD for our phones?? Maybe it will bring a solution this this bug?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to try this and provide some input

im really hoping this gets ported or something is done about the issue soon, because the jb roms are so awesome its impossible for me to go back to ics just for audio. though i do miss the days where i could use my headphones to their full potential. didnt spend 100 on them for nothing

Might be a kernel thing? Who knows.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one with the audio problem but from my short testing in my car it seemed to only be music related, I'm using double twist. When I got a text message the ringtone was alot louder than the music itself and the volume setting on that was only around half as loud. Things use to be the other way around on ICS. Like someone else posted hopefully there can be a fix soon because I'm loving JB.

I tried this mod on my Nexus 7 and I didnt notice a difference

Not sure why it didnt increase volume for you. Worked just fine for me.

The latest cm10 Nightlies fixed all of the sound problems
Sent from my E4GT by using THE FORCE

From what I can tell from my testing on the E4GT, your headphone and bluetooth volumes are tied to the speaker media volume originally. I haven't seen it in any other builds of CM10, but it seems fairly common in the E4gT's roms.

Where are the nightly builds posted? I don't see it on thier official site

If its fixed in CM10 it will be fixed in all jb ROMs since they run basically the same base. Jb has made some great progress thanks to all the devs. Hopefully they work out this bug. I wanna jam! Lol

Low volume

Hello everybody
Some of you might noticed that the volume in some apps (youtube, navigon...) or even media (mp3) is quite low.
This issue is fixed in many roms like cm, xylon and so on.
I want to know if there is any possibility to increase the volume output on 4.2.1 stock, without having root.
thx

Yeah I would like to know too. My iPod touch is a whole lot louder! What gives Google?

Would love to know this too. In fact, the low volume makes me miss quite a few calls and messages during the day when I'm not in the same room as my phone. Also when I show someone a YouTube video the audio is sometimes near impossible to hear on the speaker. Would love to stick with the stock ROM so I hope there is an easy fix.

Volume+ stopped working with jb. Still no fix. Unless rooted I presume.

Make sure you installed the V6beta2 if you are on 4.2 or 4.2.1. There are two different ones. One is for 4.1.2 which I think the latest build is called "V5Omega" it's in the 1st post and the other is for 4.2 and 4.2.1 which the latest build is called "V6beta2" and that's his 3rd post. You might have flashed the wrong one.
