****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

I think they call it a different thing, when I put CM7.2 on it was a completely different name.

I just upgraded to CM9 and my external_sd folder has gone missing but its still recognised in the settings. I just can't see my files.. anyone encountered this problem before?

In hydrogenics the external sd is under 'emmc' (or something similar) so it might be the same with CM9.

AOSP Android calls it emmc, always has done.

AOSP ROM - external_sd is now mnt\emmc.

I believe the external_sd folder might be a Samsung modification.

i'd like to either upgrade the firmware / rom or restore the factory defaults. (Without loosing all me applications / data)

If you're still rooted, I've found this app to be much simpler and just as effective as Titanium Backup, and it's free:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot

Backup everything, flash your new ROM, restore everything.

If you switch from GB to ICS, then you may have issues restoring app data; if any apps ForceClose on you, just go to the App Info screen in Manage Apps, and clear the Cache.

What is the best, stable ICS based rom?

Stock XXLPS with either cf or siyah root.

Thanks! thats exactly where it went! Any clues on how to make it into external_sd again?

Flash a Samsung based ROM

Hydrogenics is my favorite ICS ROM that I've tried so far. Works perfectly besides MHL which I don't use. The ROM control customization is really nice too.

 

[Euphoria]

Is there any sign of Checkrom V7? Or is it a long way off?

Long way off, development has not started yet as he has just returned back. the ICS S2 rom is still buggy but 4.0.4 i think has just come out. You will prob need to wait until 4.0.5 when it has main bugs ironed out on core features such as call, messaging etc.

Ditto. The only thing i dont like is the scrolling, it's very 'sticky'. I also think Apex is a better launcher than the stock Trebuchet one but i guess that's just a personal preference.

Video recording is now fully working in CM9/AOKP isn't it? I've been away since Friday so not ROMd around much due to needing my phone to navigate London and outskirts

 

[benjo]

Yep, got 1080p on Hydrogenics

 

[BananaDunka]

Sweet, will Nandroid and flash

Edit*

Wait is that stereo audio recording or mono?

 

[benjo]

Mono as far as I know, haven't seen any posts stating otherwise

 

[BananaDunka]

A sacrifices must be made situation I guess ¬_¬

Edit*
Have to say the video effects are pretty amazing. Restored all my apps and settings and all seems good so far. Play Store still has the RPC error when viewing the All tab in My Apps (known issue for many people due to Store side issue).

I've flashed LPR modem too as XDA reports show it to be efficient in battery drain and also good on network signal (like KI4).

If I want to update from 31.03.12 Hydrogenics to 02.04.12 version, what's the easiest way? Surely I don't have to do a full wipe of everything do I? Doesn't seem to be in the thread.

 

[Frozennova]

I've never done a full wipe upgrading a hydrogenics rom. I've always flashed over the top.
