It's probably just me...But does anyone else notice increased "lag" with this update?

It's probably just me...But does anyone else notice increased "lag" with this update? I certainly do - Rooted with most bloat frozen too...

Try a custom rom like darkside evolution or adjust the OC/UV

Thanks - any suggestions on settings for my OC/UV?

Unrooted with the stock ICS update. I've caught my S2 locking up every now and then for as long as a couple of minutes. also noticed more lag switching between apps, particularly Contacts

and, to be honest, I have tried most ROMs out there and applaud the terrific work - While some offer blazing speeds, great UIs, whatever...There ALWAYS seems to be something missing (WiFi Calling, incompatible radio, no MMS...you name it) If I could find an ICS - Based ROM with everything stock has, working properly, I'm there!

All the custom roms won't have those problems as soon as they put the proprietary drivers in.

is there 1 ROM you'd suggest for the T989?

Just a personal opinion, but i would ODIN the stock ICS for now and wait a few days/week for AOSP, AOKP, and all the other individual rom makers to get the proprietary drivers and source merged in. That will make ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

I will - thanks man

I have so far very good experience with the Darkside mod of the stock ICS.
Small issue with reboot hanging was fixed using his scripts. Personally I prefer stock rooted with junk removed from the system. I need full functionality of the stock from for everyday life.
BTW my battery life is also good.

ROM recommendations!?

Hello all. It has been months since I've participated in these forums and I've been on this gingersnap ROM this whole time and I wanted to move to a different ROM. I need something that has fully functional camera, GPS and mostly everything. Any suggestions? Also I've been having battery drain issues even with freezing apps, turning brightness low and just idling.

Search your title there are tons of answers

Okay, I see search from the app isn't as bad as it used to be. Still having trouble choosing a ROM. I loved cm on my EVO but the GPS being spotty just made everything horrible.

there's a lot of ROMs out there for the T989. You can watch the video reviews on galaxys2root.com , but otherwise, there's just a lot of flavors.
It basically breaks down into some of the primary features. I need WiFi calling, so I can't use AOKP or CM9. I would go for AOKP any day if I didn't need WiFi calling. Coming from Juggernaut 2.3.6 ROM, I miss all the "ROM control" features.
From what I hear, CM9 is the way to go if you don't care about WiFi calling. Otherwise, You have Jedi Mind Trick, Clone Drones, Darkside, Infamous... I think are the most popular.
Just backup everything, and try one ROM a day to see what you like. Any of the new ICS ones have fairly good battery life. In addition, your GPS issue, flash the aGPS patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563226 (it made my GPS usable again!)

You don't even need to flash that patch for gps. Just flash a modded radio.

GPS problem

I have tried dark side 4.04 and Jedi knight 2 and JMT v8... previously I used to use JMT and my GPS worked flawlessy with no problem. A little while ago I started using darkside 4.04 and GPS was working well as well. Then I installed Jedi knight and since then my GPS is never able to lock on. I have tried switching back to JMT and darkside... but the GPS doesn't lock on...I've tried using the aGPS patch as well but that didn't do anything.
If someone knows how to fix this, please help me out as GPS is a part of my daily life. Thanks a lot!

I had a similar problem with my GPS taking 5 mins to lock in, and i was using DarkSide 4.04.
So i moved to [ROM] Android Open Kang Project | September 13 | Jellybean Build 1 + Nightlies, and my GPS locks in really quick.
Not sure why, DarkSide was really good ROM but the GPS was a problem casue i use it a lot while driving.
but I am really happy with my phone now (Jellybean Build 1 + Nightlies), hope this helps you.

I flashed aokp ...but the GPS problem is still there. I know my GPS works because when I go to Google maps, my initial location is correct but then it moves to somewhere else...is there a way I can delete all my GPS related files...so it starts fresh. I really need this thing fixed...any help is appreciated. Thanks

There a app in the play store called faster fix. Open the app and Change your server to North American pool and apply. That usually works for me because sometimes it'll be set to Asia or not even set to anything. Hope this helps.

Just installed and set it to north America...it initially found my location and a second later, switched back to the same spot as always...somewhere in Philadelphia..

That's weird... I always hear about that problem but I've never experienced it. Try AOKP 9/13 with lg3 radio. That's what I'm running and gps is perfect. Also try uninstalling and reinstalling Google maps. Also use internal gps for location... This is all I've done just posting what worked for me. Let me know what happens.

Holy eff... you just solved my problem. All I did was I just left GPS satellites checked in "location services" and it locked on right away to my location and everything is good now! Thanks a lot friend.

looking for stable and functional gps rom

Its been awhile since i have visited the forums and getting really sick of the lag/random reboots for my stock rooted ics. What is the most stable with a working gps rom. I have tried koodo but that didnt work out to well. Gps never locked on even after doing the recommended agps fix. I really do like touchwiz mostly for the camera app. I get about 10 hours out of my phone now. I would like to squeeze more out of it if i can. So what are you guys running?

Lol last time I had a quick-lockin-flawless-badass gps was darkside roms.
Im sure there have been others since but I havent had any luck.

If you can rock gingerbread then flash Tuesday. Best GPS I ever used.

I am using slimbean 3.1.0 (beta) and I got a quick lock on GPS.
With iGO as navigation app you can skip the data usage.

Would the newest darkside rom still have the awesome GPS lock?

Jellybean Rom features on this old device

I have tested out many gingerbread ROMs and recently tried MazWoz JB 4.2.1 B4. It worked well except it had camcorder/camera issues with preview, errors when ending calls, and no bluetooth. The bluetooth caused me to switch back to gingerbread. For those of you that have tested the various jellybean Roms, have you found one that runs smooth with most features working? I don't care about FFC or 4G features.
Thanks.

Try this one i use quick snap camera not as much lag i don't use blue tooth so can't commit on that i haven't had any GPS issues so no need for GPS fix also a2sd fine. There are some others i just haven't tried but reading threads sounds as if they are OK to
