joker97: ok already installed omega ... now flashing siyah ... anyone knows what happens if you install jkay deluxe 13.6 (the non ics) version? i probably wont as it will probably stuff it all up but anyone knows? Yeah, I'd file that under 'Really Bad Ideas' - I'm sure the frameworks are very different, so you'll probably end up with a bootloop, or a phone bulging at the seams with FC's! Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone - kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own. SGSIII ROM: WanamLite v1.3 Kernel: Ninphetamine v1.1.0 Modem: DXLEA SGSII (Now belongs to SWMBO) ROM: WanamLite v12 Kernel: Siyah v3.3.2 Modem: BVLPB SGS (Cat's chew toy) If you need a download-mode jig ASAP, you're welcome to borrow mine! Works with SGS I/II/III. I also have a SIM cutter available (Dunedin) - happy to post either to you at your cost.

Sorry Neets, we all know you most definitely can not play the Gender card.

Neets: I am actually writing a piece for AndroidNZ.net about Mobile Odin. Had heaps of fun with flashing a full stock ROM. No dramas when flashing a kernel or a modem on their own, but came unstuck when I used it to flash a tar file for a custom ROM. Thank goodness I hadn't lost recovery and could restore a nandroid backup. But you're saying you've used Mobile Odin to flash a full custom ROM, which I presume you put in the System section? Maybe I've misunderstood something, or just been clumsy, or again I could throw the "gender" card around ;-) Hehe, I guess I should have been more specific: Mobile Odin can flash anything that's been made for flashing via Odin (well, almost). If it says you have to flash it from a recovery then you can't use Odin to flash it. And just because the file is a .tar doesn't automatically make it compatible with Odin... :) Also, some fancy ROMs might require a custom PIT, in which case Mobile Odin wouldn't work as it deliberately doesn't flash PITs. But for most purposes Mobile Odin fits the job pretty well. :) Firefox users: It's called Fx, not FF! [Read FAQ#8] I recommend: Web Browser: Opera. Ad Filter: Ad Muncher. Portable OS: Puppy Linux. IM: Digsby. AntiVirus: Microsoft Security Essentials. Automation: AutoHotkey. Rescue CD: Parted Magic.

nofam: Thinking I'll make the jump to ICS tonight (finally) - is anyone using the LP3-based WanamLite? I've been using v10 since yesterday and using Wanamlite exclusively for the last few weeks and I think it's great. Only problem I've been having is Contacts will FC sometimes when deleting contacts. Other problems have been of my own making hehe and my stupid wallpaper situation. I haven't tried Omega so can't compare the two sorry.

nofam, the ICS version isn't. Customised mine with the usual wallpaper, custom dock icons. looks like my previous version. The blue black one isn't to my liking at all. Far too bold in its look for a simple girl like me. I'd be surprised if you didn't like it. But I don't really know which bits turn you off.

There's the non themed Stock and ICS roms from Omega to try also. - Telstra HTC Touch Pro2 - Energy ROM WM6.5.5 20 Oct/Cyanogen Mod Froyo 2.2 - R.I.P - AT&T Galaxy S Captivate 16GB on XT (now with brother) - Samsung Galaxy S2 on XT- Runs ICS 4.0.3 Resurrection Remix 9.2 - Business Hours - Work In The Electricity Industry, After Hours - DJ/Turntablist - Will Scratch Vinyl For Free' - What's next??? S3?

Might try out Omega myself. I take it this is the correct one? Looks promising!

Other problems have been of my own making hehe and my stupid wallpaper situation. I haven't tried Omega so can't compare the two sorry. Try this and see if it fixes your contact issue. First sync all contacts that you sync eg, facebook, google etc then 1 go to System Settings 2 Applications 3 Select the all tab 4 Scroll to Contacts select then 5 Clear data 6 Repeat for Contacts Storage Go back to Accounts and sync and sync all Wait for 1 hour (maybe less depends on contact list size) for contacts to sync. After that should be no more problems. This has helped me in the past with some of the firmwares I've flashed This may work for other apps causing problems as well. *Backup first just in case.*

I just bought the GT-i9100T for a friend from The Warehouse as part of the Samsung free TV deal. Sweet I thought. Alas the friend is from China and reads negligible English which I didn't think was going to be a problem until we unboxed and fired up the phone to find that it has no Chinese language option! A guy in a store said we could just download the Chinese language but I think he's been smoking something since I can't find any official other language packs to download and install. Does anybody have any idea of how to install another language pack without having to root the phone and possibly install a different ROM?

Otherwise wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache fix premissions
