I am very impressed by the Gingerbread update - no problems thus far and it is blisteringly fast. Even the stock browser is epically quick
Much kudos to Samsung! I feel like I have a brand new device.
My only issue - the Swype spacebar in portrait is too small.

Dave

I have exactly the same problem, with my international GT-i9100
the back button constantly goes back to home and i'm unable to get out of applications such as image viewer äfter i've taken a picture" settings... pretty much everything and i tried a full wipe + dalvik wipe and still the same problem, it's a bit to unstable for my liking but if that issue could be fixed i'd use this daily.

Audio issue still present. Volume for headphones stuck at 50%. Any solutions?

Had the same problem...
Quick fix for me was to flash to a different kernel...
i flashed it with the Siyah v2.2beta4 kernel, now works beautifully!
Just a little advice too, if you previously had 2.3.5 and older, do not restore from titanium. it will give you a ton of FC errors and your phone will not function properly, if not, at all.

Hi....
I am from Saudi Arabia...
Installed this ROM in my Sgs2 now. Network , WiFi , Bluetooth ...everything is working smoothly. Installed after a full wipe. ROM is only 119 MB & Installed so quickly....Thanks Buddies !

Stock Camera for Custom Rom's

Hey All,
Since rooting my SGS2 and installing ICS Roms I find the Camera App is total S**t !
I use the camera loads both still and video.
The stock SGS2 Camera app was awesome !!!!! But the ICS one is rubbish !
I have searched everywhere and stock camera app is not available for custom roms or as an apk file.
So I am trying to find a developer to port the SGS2 Stock Camera App so it will work on all custom roms so we can all use it.
Failing that port it to Root Box Rom by Bajee11 as that's the Rom I use.
If anyone is skilled enough then let me know and we can discuss it further. It has to be totally bug free and working though.
I want this to happen so no time wasters please.
Feel free to leave comments regarding your camera experience on ICS.
Also don't recommend any apps as I wasted money on them all.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Nah I don't think it would be imposable, just a lot of hard work either porting it from GB or starting from scratch. But either way something has to be done cause the ics camera is just crap!

I dont understand your topic. You're talking about a stock camera app. Flash any SAMSUNG based custom or stock ICS Rom and you will have a great camera... If you are using a CM or AOSP based ICS rom, like Rootbox, your camera might be worse. Because you have a Samsung device with Samsung camera, but a not samsung firmware... Or am I thinking wrong here, lolllzzz. Seems like common sense to me...

That's right it is bad but only the cm team can add features to it but no one will port the camera app its not so easy
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

I am fully aware that it will be hard but if someone can port the other Samsung apps over then porting this will be possible. It will just take a little hard work and time for someone who has the knowledge about these kind of things (I don't)
Hopefully sooner or later a developer with the skill will answer the call
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

It may not be impossible, but you have to understand that the stock Samsung camera app requires the touchwiz framework and system libraries, these files are completely incompatible with the AOSP framework and libraries, also the libraries in question are closed source when distributed by Samsung so any attempt to port or write from scratch would be a complete shot in the dark and while I'm sure there are devas out there who agree with you, with all the issues Samsung creates for AOSP devs a mostly working camera is much further down the list than other projects.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

This is something I've been looking for since I been using CM as well... 6 months now... really sucks to have such a great firmware with such a bad camera... more importantly the reduced camera settings is what makes matter worse...
For eg if you want to make a video with CM Cramera on lowest resolution, a 1 min video is like 40mb... can't even email something like that... while stock allowed 3gp and VGA resolution cams so you can take random small unimp videos to send... like on whatsapp with a 12mb limit you can only make like 5-10 second videos...

Get UCAM pro. Try it. Seriously great.

The question should be about other third party camera apps available on the play store. Is there any app that comes close to the stock samsung app in the terms discussed above?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

As OP states no point in recommending any PS Apps. I have seriously tried them all and wasted loads of money on inferior camera apps.
There is nothing that comes close to Samsung camera application.
Also I have ucam and it's crap. How you can compare that app to the SGS2 Camera I don't know.
Which is a shame. (
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I agree with op here...the camera of this phone is very good and that's y I hate when it goes to waste on custom ROMs...Samsung ROM is very very ugly but utilizes camera quality to the fullest and has WiFi direct and FM but aosp and aokp ROMs r beautiful but camera sucks and no WiFi direct..spirit FM is the alternative at least
When will the perfect ROM come
Hell I would even buy the ROM like any play store product if it has aosp with Samsung like cam and WiFi direct and FM
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2

Why don't you use stock ROM with custom theme then?
I'm using Neat ROM and you can flash a custom theme over it (Jkay, vertemus, ...)
There's a lite version in case you don't want all stock Samsung apps.

Not what I am trying to achieve here.
Really want it so the camera application can be shared to all who want it.
Thanks for the idea though.

I'm using that too but it has limitations like the theme is close to aosp but not in full...plus some colours r not very good...some notifications r pure white etc such things...plus changing DPI which is possible in aosp and aokp disrupts the UI in Sammy ROM with aosp theme on it

i miss my stock camera....,could we like port the stock camera...Ive read some threads with instructions to detouchwiz an stock app,but that's gonna be a pain in the [email protected]#$ then again its worth it i guess.

Me too. I love Root Box but stock camera is really good.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

So I just tried ucam and I must say I'm quite impressed by the picture quality... not as good as stock but definitely better than CM...
Problems with it tho are that it keeps trying to autofocus which I find a little annoying...
Secondly and more importantly... its not allowing to take videos in less than 620*480... which was the problem to begin with... I'm starting to think this is a main CM limitation rather than any application...
Sent from my Galaxy ICSII

The stock camera has the advantage that Samsung can make calls directly to the hardware - fast and efficient. Because the stock camera only runs on Samsung devices.
When we talk about AOSP, now we are talking about generic Android. Google rewrote it for all devices with a general framework - it works on HTC. Now, the hardware cannot be directly addressed. Much more complicated programming - simpler in a way, but harder in others.
Then along comes AOKP. Those guys want to take Google out of the deal entirely, so they again rewrite everything and add another layer of abstraction. And when you think that NOBODY on the AOKP team owns an S2 and they don't even list it as a supported device. It is no surprise that the a large percentage of the features of the S2 are no longer available. For the life of me, I can't understand why putting up Superman wallpaper is better than having a decent camera, long battery life, FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, etc.....

No problems.

will probs wait for a more stable release, I agree though, this is taking far too long, my phone will be on ebay before this is stable, if it every is. MIUI have lost the plot, although i was glad to see them move from CM to sammy but it hasnt been well implemented. CM is great for older phones but I dont see the point of using it on a new phone when nothing works properly.

Hmmm I've only encountered a couple of minor what you would term "instabilities"...
The Root permissions freeze up when you open an app requiring root, however you can work around this by going back to home opening the permissions app and then manually give the app root privelages.
Only other thing was I needed to download play store via the MIUI store.

Lets hope miui jumps straight to 4.1.2 on the next beta test so we can have all the new features too.

This rom seems quite useable indeed, it is very smooth, very good for a beta, if this is the shape of things to come we could have a winner here. Pretty much everything seems to work one you get around the small permissions bug. Video player and cam performance all ok too. Let hope someone builds a decent ROM with this with all the usual mods + the latest 4.1.2 stuff.

I used Google translate to convert the Chinese beta testing page to English and i see there have been updates already. Unfortunately the beta is closed.... We need someone to give us a sneaky link to the newer versions.. Im too impatient hehe.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

bring on the links people, i cant find any myself. Anyone else found any more bugs?

ROM does seem to have one of the usual problems I always find with MIUI, downloads hang on play, intermittent and seeming random with non wifi downloads.

FOR THOSE WISHING TO TRY THIS ROM.
bugs / isues so far:
- permissions crash, you have to set app manually.
- stock browser seems to be locked to chineese search.
- Heavilly stripped down, all samsung stuff removed.
- Had several phone freezes where rotation is enabled.
- No english play store installed, can be downloaded.
- No gapps.
- doesnt seem to play youtube videos from youtube app, probablly some region issues (plays them ok in browser)
General Useage:
- Video and camera work well.
- Phone / wifi / 3g GPS all working
- Supports latest Note 2 cam and gallery
- Themes seem to work fine.
- UI seems very smooth
- Seems generally very stable if rotation is disabled.

Advantages of Firefox OS on Arc S

Dear Arc/S users
Althought we - Arc or Arc S users - use a smart phone that come out only two year ago we can't use our telephone without custom roms, because it is very laggy, and have got lots of bugs notification led etc. with 4.0.4 update. And some users including me have privacy concerns with permission etc.
I want to call attention to advantages Firefox OS on Arc S:
1. First, I saw this video. http://youtu.be/5MzuGWFIfio. In video Firefox Browser that was very laggy on my Arc S with Custom ROM is working awesome without any lag. And the phone in the video has 256 Mb RAM. Think this os how works fast on Arc S.
2. And all Xperia 2011 series except for Arc have a Firefox OS Development Topic. We have a topic too but is not improved yet, and haven't got enought attention. I open this topic for this stuation.
3. Boot in less than 6 seconds even in MDPI devices. (This Xda Topic) (Edit 1: Firefox OS open as fast as 4.0.4 stock dialer. )
4. The small footprint of a browser based operating system means that B2G should significantly extend battery life before re-charging.(This Xda Topic)
5. B2G will be the first mobile OS to use Do Not Track at the operating system level. (This Xda Topic)

Is there a way to do a backup and transfer messages and contacts from android to firefox and return ?
