[Q] Enabling Regulatory Domain (Wifi Ch 12, 13) for SGS2 Skyrocket?

Can anyone tell me how to enable "regulatory domain" aka wifi channel 12 and 13?
I have a US SGS2 Skyrocket but spending some time in London. The Place im staying only provides WIFI in channel 13 (I dont have the ability to get this changed)
I know for the X10 they modded a file which fixed it. How to do it for the SGS2 SR?

Menu.settings.wireless networks.wifi settings.menu.advanced

That option is no longer there, I searched but only found a solution for the X10
I was hoping someone knew a file to mod or some hidden menu

Odd indeed...it exists on mine. What rom are you using?

Can you guys with the Rogers From pull the Wifi Manager Apk for me? Maybe using titanium backup?

I wont be able to pull it and upload it for a while but here is a Tom zip that includes it

Where is the wifi manager apk located?

I think its part of the rom they linked but I couldnt find it, so I gave up.

#Update#
#Update#
Took the settings App from SkyICS (which has the Regulatory Domain Option Enabled) and nothing
Change Country Code (ccode) to GB the same as SkyICS in \etc\wifi\nvram_net.txt and that didnt work
Modified the secure table using sqlite3 to set max wifi channel to 14, but it wasnt seeing anything on channels 12 or 13, and if you reboot it gets reset back to 11
So far nothing, so it must be something in the drivers that enables the Regulatory Domain

Well very old thread but belongs in Q&A. Moved
Cheers

Thanks Mod
To follow up on my previous post
I copied the drivers from another GB rom that has the regulatory domain enabled
/sys/modules/dhd.ko
And
/etc/wifi folder
Wifi starts up
But still no reg domain settings under advanced
Next step
Try to decompile the settings app to see what triggers the reg domain option

I think it may be in the kernel. Reason I say this is I had the option when I flashed the siyah kernel to my i9100.

Rogers shut down animation question

I'm currently running the quickwiz 1.0.3 rom...and hate the rogers shut down animation. Is there any way to replace it with the galaxy S branded shutdown animation?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

I do not care much for either but then again do not shut off the phone often.

You have a very good point. I'll just try not to turn my phone off very often

Modify files in /system/media/videos/shutdown and replace with the same files from another ROM. Or just thank playin4sheezy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343185

Another question one of you could probably answer...can u replace system files in same way for a boot animation? And the "kill rogers shutdown animation" file u linked to...can u flash it on another rom and it add that shutdown animation?

At the top of Root Explorer there should be a button that says "Mount R/W" just tap that and then you are now set to read & write in the folder.

Just bought skyrocket what to do?

Just bought a used skyrocket only problem is the battery door got Lil scratches (already order new one on eBay for 5 bucks) but got it for a sweet 200! So people its already rooted (he said he used super one click) stock recovery and on 2.3.6 is it hard to install roms on here and any good ones?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

All the roms are good and their not very hard to install. Make sure you do your fair share of reading. All the info you need are in these forums. Look at the sticky threads in each section. Good luck

Looking good!

im using skymod 5.1. uses Apex launcher and is fairly stable...thing is you never know with ROMs based on leaked code if it's the dev or just bugged ICS code.
ill i really want is an experience that's just pure Android, no UI BS...just pure. I miss my Nexus One for that exact reason.

Here's all the ROMS for skyrocket: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383464
I'm running ICS RC7.4 Speed though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087

Yes so many ICS roms yet they ain't stable for DD right? Also feel so dumb and totally forgot the the rocket has nfc. So far reading no ics rom has that working correct? I'm assuming that one we get a official release of ICS then nfc should work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

1) nfc works
2) many people use it as a dd, no fcs or instabilities, just a few tiny bugs, that may or may not annoy (shutdown/reboot anyone?)

As well as the ROMS this "all in one location" helped me it links how to Root (different methods) one click works best for me, talks about kernals, ODIN return to stock, and much more.
As always READ READ READ. I read for about 2 months. Was rooted, downloaded an app that borked my modem. Knew exactly where to go to return to stock......

OK have to look at it ICS some more just loving alien#6 to much with faux kernel!
But anybody recommended a ICS that's pretty stable and has nfc working?

Started with NexusMod 4 and quickly went to NexusMod ICS Slim. This ROM blazes on the latest ICS leak and the developer is quick on updates and support. I personally use it as a Daily Driver with very few hiccups.

Currently on SKY ICS UCLD2 by seanzscreams.
It's pretty good but read and reread the instructions he posted when installing this ROM.
I believe the ics superlite by mhx is a simpler install.

It keeps telling me you can't write apn settings on ICS. So I'm stuck as to getting this to work?

are u using a third party program from the market to enter the apns? If so that's y. Enter them manually. Settings > more > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Then hit menu button

I've done that I can receive mms but can't send mms. So I'm stuck on GB until then

903tex, did you download the Red Pocket configurator from the market? I thought that sets up the apn for you, maybe not w/ ICS.

Clipboard force closing in Synergy and Beans rom

I'm having the same issue on stock rooted. Either it force closes whatever app I'm trying to copy from, or I get this error:
Code:

I see there is a few people with this issue in the sprint forums too. Kind of annoying.
