Think it will be CM10 - and it will probably be a while before we see any of those ROMs appearing.

Not necessarily. Because 4.1 is an incremental update, they can build on the CM9 work quite quickly. I'm running a Nexus port on my phone, and it is almost there. The official builds are going to come thick and fast.

[EDIT]
Now that I've read the linked article, I'll eat my words. Slowly, with some humble pie. :erm:

Aaaaaand? How is 4.1?

In a word, Quick. Or maybe responsive. No, definitely quick. I'm unable to use Google Now, offline search, etc. but what I have seen I most definitely laaik. :D

Yeah, that's my primary ROM too. Although, AOKP milestone 6 is looking tempting. I need to see what the difference is though.
 
I'm not brave enough to install that 4.1 port - even on my secondary phone.

Nah - it's a dual-boot scenario. :) Not yet usable as a daily driver - no wifi is a deal breaker for me.

Anyhow, sadly Search keeps FCing, meaning the other best thing about 4.1 - Google Now - doesn't work. Not worth installing.

Eh, I've been on Resurrection Remix 1.9.1 and Siyah 3.2.7.2 for ages now, and everything has been going super smooth, until yesterday. I reloaded an old boot loader to use my jig, and today my phone has been doing the weirdest things:

  • The screen randomly goes on while the phone is locked
  • The phone randomly goes into 'car mode' ? lol
  • The clock app is absolutely screwing around, for example when I unlock the phone it goes into to clock app?

Anyone seen this behavior? It's a strange coincidence that it happened the day after I messed around with the boot loaders :/

Nothing comes to mind. Did you go back to the latest Siyah kernel after you finished with your jig? (Stoopid question, I know, but it bears asking)

Ahh, actually I didn't. When I flashed the latest version all my problems went away. So the bootloader forms part of the kernel then?

In any case, it's time I update resurrection remix to v2.5.3[4.0.4]. Anyone use that?

I am not sure - I think the bootloader is seperate from the kernel. I helped a mate of mine to get out of bootloop. We flashed the Intratech's XWLPD which contains the old bootloader, then flashed Siyah 3.3.2 and I could use the jig to remove the triangle and reset his counter.

EDIT: Sometimes, in CWM recovery, if you fix permissions it resolves weird problems.
 
Does anyone know if there are galaxy s2 specific settings I must use when encoding video in MeGUI? I encoded the audio and video and muxed it into mp4 container but I just keep gettings errors playing the file on the phone :confused:

I'd prefer to use MeGUI if possible instead of another program.

EDIT: unless there's a way to play flv files on the phone
