When will 4.2 be officially released for the S2? Got mine yesterday. I kinda miss my S1 but the S2 is so much snappier.

4.1.2 is suspected to be released this this month, but there has nothing even been mentioned about 4.2.

Quiet =P Can't you read "boere engels"... Hehe


The new Dorimanx 7.15.1 kernel is so smooth, even on battery profile.

Hehe. Just the spelling nazi in me trying to get out :D

I moved from normal Siyah to Dorimanx too a little while ago, very impressed.
 
So is rootbox or rr more stable? Might not be that easy to answer absolutely, but what's the general consensus.

Last jb rom I used was rr 3.0.8 I think, and it was too buggy for my liking.

Haven't used rootbox, but since 3.1.0 RR has been night and day compared to previous builds.

I'm on RR 3.1.2 now and its totally usable as an everyday ROM.
 
You all seem quite experienced in this, so I need everyone's guidance. I'm currently on JellyBam ROM and loving the new JellyBean features - but I'm disappointed in the battery life. Its not terrible, but its not the improvement I was expecting (and I manage whats running quite religiously).

Today, at the Google Developer day, I barely used it - except for some light browsing - but had WiFi on and connected the entire day. My friend had the same, except on his iPhone 3GS (iOS6). At the end of the day I was on 4% he was on 53%... To me thats shocking. So either my ROM/kernel isn't performing, my battery is stuffed or I'm not managing whats running as well as I thought (highly doubt it).

Anyway, for TL;DR: Need a ROM (or kernel?) with batter improvements, but that doesn't look terrible.

Thanks

What kernel are you using?
It's possible the Wifi was preventing the phone from going into deep sleep. I'm on stock 4.0.3 with Dorimanx/Siyah kernel and my phone loses about 1% battery every 2 hours in deep sleep.

Download a program called Better Battery stats, that will tell you exactly what process is using what.

Or if JB is not all that important, Wanam lite rom is based on 4.0.4 and it is the most frugal rom out there.

But you can access the store? Try going Settings - Apps - All - Find Google play Store - Clear data or Cache?
 
can access the store and choose apps, it starts the download but doesnt actually start with the actual download where it shows the status (10% etc.) tried clearing the cache and data. still no success
 
That usually happens when the store is downloading a new version of itself, or like when you've installed a new ROM and it's still verifying your account. That said, Google released three new devices overseas over the play store, I read that some people are complaining that it's made the store laggy.

Did you try that clear data thing?
