ICS ROM for Galaxy S2: VK ICS ROM

Hi guys !

Installed this ROM on my galaxy S2 several weeks ago and it is so SWEET !!!

Here's a quick low-down;

1. Battery - Awesome ! I use my phone for conference calls and occasional Facebook and the battery lasts for 1.5 to 2 days. The best part is, I put it on standby before I go to sleep and when I wake up, it only uses 1% of the battery !

2. GPS - Satellite locking is super fast

3. WIFI, Camera, 3G, Video - No complains

4. Performance - very fast. No complains what so ever.

I highly recommend this ROM if you want a fast and stable ROM.

You can download it from this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559009

ICS ROM for Galaxy Note: Criskelo ICS ROM V2

It's AWESOME and SUPER FAST RAM. I'll update the battery performance for this ROM in a few days

Here's my experience upgrading from Stock ROM GB 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.2

Briefly, here's the step;

1. Root your galaxy Note - For me, since I was on 2.3.6, I have to use Method 2 in my previous posting here

2. You should have ClockWorkMod app installed - look for CWM icon.

3. Reboot your Galaxy Note

4. Now, download the ROM package (in .zip format) from the link below and save it on your phone memory

Download ROM Here

This part is really tricky so pay attention :-)

5. Launch ClockWorkMod and select under Reboot the option "Reboot into ClockWorkMod Recovery"

6. Once it's reboot, navigate the menu to install a package ZIP file from phone disk. This is important - you can actually select your options using the touch screen, i.e. no need to use volume up and down buttons.

7. Once install, please reboot

8. After reboot, YOU WILL GET SOME "Unexpected Stop" messages for several application. DON'T DISPAIR. I got the same messages so just follow the steps below.

9. Launch the CMW again, similar to step (5) above

10. Wipe Dalvik cache via recovery (advance section)

11. Wipe data, factory reset again

12. Wipe cache partition

13. Reboot – all ok. – this time booted as if from new, rather than straight into homescreen

Thanks to RootGalaxyNote.com for the guide and instructions

BTW, here is a video on how to install a new ROM using CWM. This video could be confusing so let me know if you have any question.

Fix Push Notification on IOS 4.3.2 Iphone 4 for Whatsapp

I have been trying to fix the Push Notification on Whatsapp on my wife's Iphone 4 but after combing the forums, I think the issue is with IOS4 (and Apple is not doing anything about it).

Because of lack of Push notification, the Iphone could not get any Whatsapp message if the application is not actively running and being used. That kindda defeat the purpose of using this cool apps.

Then I discovered this jailbreak apps called "MobileNotifier". I installed and tested it and Whatsapp is now running singly.

Try it out ! Here's the video
