Wait, before you start complaining about Force Closes and issues, apply the fixes given below.

Flash Galaxy S Settings

This is necessary because SGS 2 settings contains some elements which aren’t available in Galaxy S 1 i9000. For example Motion control. So, we should flash older settings to avoid Force Close.

Download Settings SGS.zip and flash it via CWM Recovery

Force Close and Dialer Fix on Hawkish

Put the phone in Airplane Mode. Go to Settings, Disable Touch Tone on Dialpad. It fixes Dialer issue.

To fix Contacts, Flash Contacts and then clear Cache via CWM Recovery itself.
