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

Modems are fine to change, just make sure it's for this particular phone. God knows how many modems I've tried in the past month, and barely noticed a difference tbh :p

Anyway, I was going to say that TV out works okay for video on CM9 if anyone wanted to know. It doesn't work for anything else, but personally I'm fine with that at the moment.
 
Sorry to repeat but I've just installed the HyDrOG3N rom but there is no icon for Google play store or app store. Am I right in thinking you cannot install apps from play from modded roms?
Thanks in advance

You need to install them via a file because they're not packaged with Cyanogen Mod based ROMS like Hydrogen. It should be linked in the thread somewhere, search for Gapps or Google apps.
 
Which ROMs have you tried?

I know it's a feature to save power, but it depends on if something is using it. I remember on my Galaxy S this was normal and you could set wifi not to sleep when the screen was off. Not sure on SGSII...

I also read about some kind of Wifi problem with the leaked samsung ICS roms. Not sure if that's resolved in the latest LP7 but it'd be worth reading the thread I linked above about that.

sensation rom
hydrogenics
cm9
miui and v4
pure ics

im on sensation at the moment.. have tried hydrogenics not long ago and it was loosing signal too.. hmn..

peculiar.. I've just tested this on CM9 (14th Apr nightly), and with phone disabled, streaming music over wifi, the music carried on playing with the screen off without any issues. Are you flashing an additional custom kernel/modem at all?
 
Guys, first timer here! (FIGURED) I just installed Hydro but am unable to go back to clockwork via middle button, vol down and power - when I accept the risks via the volume up key, just goes into ODIN MODE and says "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!". How do I get into clockwork?

Just figured it out - while in hydro - hold power > reboot > recovery.


Another problem I have is that every time I boot up, I get an error message stating: "Unfortunately, ROM Control has stopped". Any way of fixing this?


Cheers

I would charge to 100%, turn phone off and wait for it to go into powered off charging mode and wait until that reads 100%.

Then remove the battery for 1 minute, put it back in and boot back up.
