The immaculate Kies has been updated. It is now on 2.3.3.12085_7_5 (3 Sept 2012) Samsung Downloads If you are like me and never use Kies, and only update it just in case there has been any improvements made to the USB and modem drivers, then see my post here to download the USB drivers only...

I've had this happen to me several times, and I cant seem to pin it down to anything. Very occasionally (its probably happened to me 5 times in 8 months), my default ringtone, notification tone, and default contact ringtones all change to some other random one. Each time its happened to...

CheckROM v6 will start to get released tomorrow (16th Feb) I've been hearing nothing but good feedback for LA4 firmware such as better battery life, quicker GPS, optimized scrolling classes for smoother list scrolling, and coupled with the great new features of JKay 13.6.1, this ROM in my...

GS2ROMNuke and GS2ROMWipe thread

Bored bored bored! I have to say, I'm at an all-time flashing low with regards to kernels, and ROMs in particular, so I was wondering does anyone have any links to any nice fonts? I've installed the fontpack with 80-odd fonts in, and also installed the Roboto fonts too, but I just feel...

Good times ahead soon folks. JKay has almost completed his 13.6 LA4 release, and this one I feel will be a cracker, as the completion of which will shortly be followed by the much anticipated (at least by me!) CheckROM v6 LA4 release. 13.6 will be getting a few excellent new features. I...

Voltage Control v4.9.10 and later now gives you the option to store your settings as an init.d script (as usual) or as a startup service. init.d script This, in my opinion is the best one to choose. It keeps things simple, allowing you to see your settings in one single file if you need to, and...

Ditched my Sandisk 16Gb Class 4 last night for a Samsung 32Gb Class 10. They are going for

I wanted to test this out, so I reset all my My Data Manager stats to see if anything untoward is going on. Even when I'm connected to wifi, my GS2 still uses the 3G, which I'm a bit surprised about. I get the following 3G usage: Maps (35.4%) Go Launcher ex Notification (17.5%) Samsung Push...

What is this exactly? Just noticed this appear in the top of my wakelocks. Never noticed it before. b com.sec.spp.push.Samsung push service I downloaded an app from the Samsung Apps Store yesterday, so I'm guessing its something to do with the fact that I used their store, and not the app...

What Mhz does deep sleep run at, or is it sub 100Mhz?

Going on from my Full wipe thread I was wondering what a Wipe data/Factory reset actually deletes from the device? I would imagine it deletes /data, but does it remove anything else? Does it clear the root (/) filesystem full stop, or a select few folders? I would also imagine that flashing a...

I've lost count the number of times I've flashed different ROMS. Although no-wipe is possible on most, personally I dont like this method. I only tend to stick to a no-wipe flash only if the base firmware version is identical. Even so, I still always prefer a full wipe. People tend to grimace...

I often see people query which file they need to download etc., which means frequent re-posting of links, so I thought it may be of use to some to have a thread that has the latest links to various things. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible, and feel free to add your own handy...

When I go into the gyro sensor calibration, the blue ball doesnt move at all for me when I tilt the handset. Is this normal or do I have a fault? (If I go into Horizontal Calibration it moves as I would expect)

Has anyone tried these build.prop tweaks? Quite a few are already in my build.prop, but I'm particularly interested in the internet, wifi scanning and 3g tweaks, which I may have a dabble with.... 1. Internet Speed Enhancement: net.tcp.buffersize.default=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960...

GS2KernelWipe thread

Remember that old problem whereby if you were last on one of the other tabs in the dialler so that the keypad tab had scrolled out of view? This was causing some to wonder where the dialler keypad had gone. Well, I just noticed it doesnt happen any more. Every time I press the phone icon now...

Anyone here using this? SensatioN ROM It seems quite good. As I've not flashed anything is over a fortnight now, I think I might give this a wee snoop....

I currently have a Sandisk Class 4 16Gb, but Samsung Class 10 32Gb cards are now going for around 35 quid which seems a good deal to me. Is anyone here using Samsung Micro SD Cards? Just wondering how they fare in terms of speed and reliability compared to Sandisk. Sandisk Class 4 32Gb are...

Just noticed XXKL1 modem is available in the checkrom kitchen. It's not marked as new but is right down the bottom of the list and I've never noticed it before. Is anyone on here from th UK in particular using this? If so, how are you finding it in terms of 3g signal, wifi etc I'm finding it...

Has anyone managed to get to the bottom of this yet? It appears to be a problem since Google Maps was updated to v6.0.0 Initially I thought the update to v6.0.1 fixed it, but this has since proved not to be the case. I'm doing some experimenting with my weather widget on how it detects...

I quite like the dock icons in this theme Link The icons are downloadable as a photoshop .psd file from here However, I dont have photoshop, and all the software I have only shows me the phone icon. Can someone convert the 5 icons into .png format for me please. Many thanks!

Doesnt seem like CheckROM is going to have a version for this however. Apparently there seem to be a number of problems with KL1. Chainfire even removed his link to it Change for change's sake half the time I reckon! So folks, KL1 is best avoided. :)
