Was using Fluxi's Kernel for a while but since he has dropped development on XX.02 and started on XX.03 I think I'll wait a while to try it again. So have started using Dorimanx's Kernel which is a mash up of Siyah, Fluxi and VOKU. Very nice kernel and since its based on Siyah you still get the benefit of dual boot :) but some nice performance of Fluxi. So in my opinion its a very nice and stable kernel. :thumbup:

Thanks. I am trying it now. I like that he has taken Linaro settings/advice into account.

EDIT: I took it off again. 8% battery drain overnight just does not do it for me. After seeing the drain, I looked at It_ler's results and it confirmed my result. My settings for this kernel was the same as I normally use for Siyah. But I will definately monitor Dorimanx's progress. This kernel has sooooo much potential!

Are using stock ROM? If you are its from an app you've downloaded.

If you using custom rom and rooted get ad blocker.

Yep, its from an app you installed, thats their new form of advertising.
In my opinion, any app that does this deserves no place on my phone.
 
Looking for a newer ICS rom to install. What do you guys recommend? Will do a fresh install.

Currently have the following installed:

PDA: i9100XWLP4
PHONE: i1900XXLPS
CSC: i9100LUXLP1
 
OK so I finally took the leap to root and install a ROM to replace my bloated stock. I decided to go with CM9. I think that the CM9 has a great interface, really looks awesome in my opinion, I think that is what ICS is supposed to look like - the one from Vodacom just looks a lot like GB. The battery life improved tremendously, maybe doubled, compared to the stock from Vodacom. Screen even seems more responsive.

Now it was not all smooth sailing. I experienced problems with Swiftkey 3 crashing all the time, I basically can not use it on CM9. Not sure if this has always been an issue. Just quite surprised that a popular app like that doesn't function properly. The other problem I had was SMS. I don't SMS a lot so I only realised this, this morning. What happened was that when I tried to SMS it would not go through and I would experience network loss which forced me to reboot.

So I am on my next adventure in search of another ROM. I'm gonna browse around here and see what other people are using. If you read this and have any recommendations, I'd really appreciate that.

Welcome to the flash brigade. :) I'm using CM9 rc1, and SwiftKey 3 gives me no problems whatsoever. What versions are you running (of CM and SK)? Have you tried reinstalling SK?

Welcome to the light :)

CM9 is still not fully stable, but it is close.

The SMS issue- either sounds like an overwritten efs folder or you just need to update the SMS service centre number. If you search this thread, both should be available (sorry, just had lunch so I'm lazy :p).

In terms of other ROM's- so many to choose from. But for something different, try MIUI, and change the launcher. I would also recommend the FoxHound ROM- stable, good battery life and performance.

You can find them here.

Welcome. This is addictive so kiss your normal phone usage goodbye by adding a lot mor testing and experimenting! AND HAVE FUN! :D

SK works on CM9. Just uninstall it completely and reinstall. I use Titanium Backup when I uninstall. You can then get rid of data that might prevent proper operation of apps. All roms are not created equal. So with some apps you will find that a complte reinstall is required.

I'm using cm-9-20120628-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.
SK is 3.0.0.281.

Haven't tried to reinstall yet. I'll give that a shot. What is the RC1 version of CM9?
