Hello Galaxy s2 owners,
I have 2 questions I need help with:
I sold my iphone 4 to get the Galaxy S2 , it comes with gingerbread. When icecream sandwich comes out (Android 4.0), is it easy for me to upgrade to the new android version.......... like in the iphone you can just sync to I tunes and do it,
I want to know is it simple for a non techie person to upgrade the firmware to ice cream sandwich when it comes out ?
Second question: They released an extended battery for the galaxy s2 anyone has any experiences with it and can tell how long it lasts ?
Thanks

You will upgrade either through samsungs version of iTunes which Is kies, or through a leak, in a program called Odin (but you will download the rom independent in this process). We will most likely get 4.0 or 3.5 or what ever its gonna be called in a cyanogen mod rom first, and that would be flashed by a functioning clockworkmod (CWM), and for the second question, learn to charge every night at bedtime and your phone will last you all day mate

Both are a simple process, kies is simpler because its all automated, but the downside is you will have to wait until Samsung officially releases it. I'm running 2.3.4 thanks to Odin. Odin is a little more technical but with a little revision and research you can master it in 10mins, there is a great tutorial in intratechs thread in the Dec section that tells you how to flash his packaged stock roms for Odin check it out)) Odin is my preferred way because roms are leaked usually a few days/weeks before they are released on kies

Hello,
Thanks for the quick response, with odin my galaxy s2 must be rooted right ?
My phone numbest be rooted before i can use odin to instal the new os on it right ?
I think rooting it would be a techie skill than a newbie skill.

No,
Rooting is something that's done when the rom is installed, to install the rom you will go into a mode called download mode. You get into this mode by holding(down volume, power and home buttons until you get to a screen which asks you if you want to install custom Roms on the device. You reply yes by up volume and you should see a big green android, this is the mode you flash through Odin in. There is a great tutorial on intratechs thread dude in the dev section, he explains how to use it, once you start flashing its like heroin, lol

To root is just as easy too, its just a matter of flashing a kernel the same way and then flashing the stock kernel back. You have the biggest support network here so we are here to help you every step of the way. You will get the odd mushroom here that will say, use the search button, and stuff like that, but ignore them They forget that they was new once too

odin dosnt require root
its a pc program
ull just have to show odin where ur update is (4 files )
then click 3 check boxes
shut down ur phone and go to download mode
*u do that by clicking 3 buttons a lot like jail breaking an iphone
after that press volume up on ur phone to start download mode
and odin on ur pc will show a yellow box
after that click start on ur pc and wait
these are normally for stock roms from samsung not custom roms
i normally stay away from custom roms too scared

when u start learning more about android
then move to the next stage
ive been learning about android for about 3 months
rooting and custom roms is still super confusing for me

You can't brick through Odin, unless you disconnect during flashing the radio. You have actually more chance of bricking your phone during a kies update as its buggy and crashes out quite a lot;(

Cyanogen mod is android in its purest form built purely from open source. Its then tweaked to add special menus and options to give it an extra edge. Also it gives the latest OS to the masses earlier. The desire HD has only just got gingerbread, cm has given gingerbread to the desire HD for about 6 months)) this is its beauty

Hello,
Is cynogen mod available for the galaxy s2 yet ? So in essence CM is better than stocked android on the galaxy s2. If i am understand correctly I can use odin to root, update and get a better and newer version of android before it is officially out. This is awesome. Whats the downside, do i need drivers, does it drains the battery etc, will i still have touchwiz ?
Don't listen all this tech oriented guys. If before you use your iPhone as-is, you don't need any kind of Odins, firmwares et cetera. Samsung Kies found any official updates, and with two mouse clicks you can install this on your phone. Thats all.
Samsung Galaxy II have very impressive tech parameters, but really disappointing with software. It is reason why people looking for another ROMs flashing this trough Odin and so on, but still no one from this ROMs don't resolve all problems and bugs..
And keep in mind - in case of failure - you can brick your phone and/or loose guaranties..
And I agree with qwerty warrior..

Just look at custom ROMs features. Lag fix, lag fix, lag fix..
For example - I have been using HTC Desire Z & HTC HD - and HTC original soft is much more better then Samsung. Not ideal, of course, but much better! But Samsung have better hardware and screens..
I do not want to discourage people from learning! No! I only ask to do it gradually and safely! Each with a time can begin to flash the phone and use custom ROMs, but not the very next day after switching from iPhone to Android.
I am a big fan of android. I want to learn more about android.
I rooted many devices by following the instruction on xda (Thanks).
I just own S3 which I love very much, I am very much more interested ROM for Galaxy S3.
There are lots of ROM for S3 and I want to test one by one.
The question: Is there any possible way to run custom ROM on emulator?
it maybe difficult for some people who want to test rom before flashing into device.
Thanks
Hello everybody.
I used to own a Sony Xperia P, too bad it got bricked and I'm looking forward on getting a Galaxy S3 i9300.
Can anyone please tell me about it's support. I mean let's say I want to install CM ROMS, is it widely supported on by the community?
On Xperia P forum we only had CM9 and CM10 is almost a dream to have, if any one could give me a clue about it I really appreciate it
So far I'm interested in building a custom kernel based on Samsung source code (if I got this device)
I'm not into Rom development, was just wondering about CM support for this device in-case I wanted to change the installed ROM.
I appreciate any hint provided
Best Regards.
You could try the search function You Will find that the s3 development community is very vivid. Top of the line development/modding/tweaking and support. You have cm9, cm10 plus lots of different kang projects with great og support

I searched the forum but maybe I wasn't clear enough in my first post.
I don't really care about themes, mods and stuff. I prefer only installing CM roms for a change, I found that CM10 reached Stable, and CM10.1 is in the works from this website: http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Just wanted to be sure from users who already on this device just to be sure

Well my friend I'm not thinking of leaving Xperia Phones development since Sony is making it easier for developers
For sure I will stick around with developing for Xperia phones
Hi folks,
I am the happy owner of a new Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos, a.k.a SM-N7502.
I am unhappy to check that no custom rom development is happening and I am very interested to know why.
I really love Cyanogenmod and would really like to have it ported to this model.
What do you think about porting CM11 to our notes?
I want to check how hard you guys want custom ROM for this device and, maybe, I would like to work on something (I am a developer).
Want to hear from you !
I like the CM too.. used to love the ROM on my Motorola Razr Maxx.. would be glad if you could make it for Neo..

HI People. I have using the phone since the past 5 months. There is no Kit Kat update, no custom ROM development and no major updates for 4.3
I downloaded the following ROM from Sammobile, which seems a bit more stable, but no major change.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/34727/N7502XXUANH2_N7502OLBANH1_THL.zip/
Seems like no one including Samsung is interested to anything about this phone. Even Note 2 has been updated to 4.4 but not this phone,
Its really frustrating. I have used Google phones and samsung phones prior to this and there was so much development going on those phones but this is a dead end.
Although I am quite satisfied with the phone but I might sell it as I like customizing my phones and I cant do squat with this phone.
Hey, I want to update you, guys.
Last weeks I am studying really hard and couldn't find time to work on anything related to our phone. I share the same frustration as most of you do and will really work on it. Sorry guys!
updatesss ??
Any Custom ROM yet 5.0 Lollipop for Note 3 Neo??

Great!
We are eager for your porting our N 7502 or make custom ROM.
Please do not forget us and as soon as you do something, share it with us.
Thank you!
We really need CM Rom for our N3N
Plzzz any custom rom to n7502 :crying::crying::crying:
shame on Samsung
Some day Samsung was believed to support its phones well. But after times and producing hundreds of models, nowadays just flagships are supported. This is a shame for samsung that Galaxy Note 3 Neo Dous has not received even 1 Mb update. Samsung just produces and sells its phones without paying attention to customers. Shame on you Samsung!
n7502 the forgotten phone
been checkin for a couple of weeks now. and still no updates? wow. I think they just forgot they made our phones. anyways. what kind of tweaks have you guys made on your phones since theres no firmware updates for us.
Root → Xposed Framework → Wanam Xposed
Android 5
I'm not sure please help me.
The users of Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos can now update their handsets to Android 5.0 Lollipop using custom ROM. The new Android 5.0 Lollipop comes with many new features
levelof.blogspot.com/2014/10/upgradeupdate-galaxy-note-3-neo-duos-to.html
Tutorial :
1. Download Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM from link below :
The ROM File size is 128 MB, so I split the file into 3 parts :
ROM Part 1 : goo.gl/7pyL97
ROM Part 2 : goo.gl/ffHU2x
ROM Part 3 : goo.gl/l1zKh5
To combine 3 parts files above into 1 file just use WINRAR, then extract the files into ZIP format.
If any problem with the ROM, maybe because the ROM have corrupted during the download process, you can try to re-download the ROM.
2. Install the ROM Manager on your Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos. Get it from Google Play Store, then install the clockwork mod recovery. You also can use ROM Installer application from JRummy Apps Inc.(Get it from Google Play Store).
3. Connect your Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos to your PC employing the USB information cable. Copy the �ROM.zip� file you downloaded to the SD memory card.
4. Restart your device in the recovery mode using ROM Manager. As soon as in Recovery Mode, go to ROM Manager and select backup/restore to back-up your information.
5. From the Recovery Menu do a total data erase (including Delvik Cache). When completed, go back to Recovery Principal Menu and choose Flash ROM from SD Card. Navigate the location you copied the �ROM.zip� file and follow the directions for installing Android 5.0 Lollipop on your Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos. As soon as the installation is over, just reboot your Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos device, and here you go, you�ve just upgraded it to the new Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Nice but is there any other link to the rom?
Can anyone plz upload a video

Hello and welcome to XDA Q&A section of the Forum.
I assume you have some knowledge in the android world of modding (some people don't and some people do) and that you have rooted your phone, here is the thread to the ROM.
Goodluck and hopefully I helped you, if I did, hit "thanks"
Hi I think j7 got marshmallow OTA.I saw system OTA on my friends phone.you will get it if not.just download that ota and you will have latest OS.

True but who likes Samsungs stock ROM any way? It is buggy, full of bloatware and eats your RAM like Google chrome.
May be.but I have hugucrespect for stock ROMs since I experienced all custom ROMs in so many devices.
If you have rooted your stock ROM,Its enough.
And I really love stock samsung and LG ui.
