Yes, put the tar in odin and your device into download mode and just flash it.

The kernel works perfectly on KE7.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 0815vortex:
Can you extract the "cifs.ko" that I can use the CIFS-Manager from the Market with stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rural:
I used this simple method to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 a week ago.

Now, I have learned the following:

- A new firmware from Samsung is coming. It's out in the UK already and will reach me in Sweden soon enough.

- By installing this new firmware from Samsung via Kies, my device will automatically be unrooted again.

I plan to do just that, install update via Kies as soon as I can. After that, I plan to re-root using the same method.

And here come my questions.

1. Will I be able to use the same .tar I used a week ago in the new firmware? If not, where can I find the one I -really- need?

2. My root exclusive apps, what will happen to those? Will they go away as my device is un-rooted, or will they stay but be inactive / frozen / un-openable?

Thanks a lot for this, and for answering my questions in advance!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] avss:
You probably can use the same tar as you did before. Its not a 100% sure because in the upcoming update there could be some kernelchanges. But since this kerel works great on ke1, ke2 and ke7 it vould run great on whatever version is coming soon.

Your apps that need root will still be there, samsung never brings us a wipe-update. Most apps will just nag about a non rooted device if you start them.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rural:
Thanks avss, for your fully understandable answer! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Thank you supercurio yet again. Rooted and booted before my phone even warmed up.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] varunkumars:
I like the phone but for the sound. Are we getting anything like voodoo sound fix any time soon or do we have something already??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cigaro78:
Would be great indeed... Anyone knows?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zodiaxe66:
From what i can read,superc. has no plans for making a sound driver for sgs2.very sad indeed

,i would also love to see what could do with the yamaha sound driver,i think he's to skeptic,because he already made a (almost) perfect sound driver for sgs and he don't wanna build a driver sgs2,that dosn't leve up to his own exspectations,hopefully he will give it a second shot,if he runs into a boring moment and don't have anything else to do,so give him some time.

but i'm looking forward to his next kernel release,maybe a cwm is implemented some lagfix options even though .gs2 is pretty smooth.

PS...love your work superc. and the new bassboost is working nicely on sgs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Talked on Twitter with SuperC. no lagfix thing either.. Sammie used al of his optimasations soooo..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mankindtw:
Would you mind enable "adb" in recovery mode?

Default initramfs marks it out. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crypticc:
Did you try his version 4? Commits look to be ke7 and insecure.

EDIT: actually while comments on the commit say is insecure the detail in default.prop is secured adb but persistent service. Presumably set wong setting.

can someone please post the cifs.ko module?

I'd like to try it on cfroot ke2.

do you think it will work?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dagrim1:
cifs.ko module would be nice...

I tried one I found for another kernel with the same version (2.6.35.7) but that didn't work (Exec format error on 'insmod cifs.ko')... Running KE7 atm btw.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jps1974:
sorry for off-topic, but I don't think cifs.ko will work with stock or CF kernel - been messing with it pretty much all day and all I get in dmesg is "<module>: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout".

I'm no expert on compiling linux kernels, but I think it may be due to the fact that CONFIG_NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS is not set in the kernel's config. Either that or the sources Samsung gave us do not match the device's kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dagrim1:
Aware of it not working in stock and CF kernel... But this (supercurio's) kernel actually lists it (CIFS) so it should be possible to get it to work with this one, I hope.

Still, my idea is to stream 720p video to my tv and I can't yet buyt the proper HDMI cable either hehe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elban:
BLN (key backlight notification) would be killer :-)

would donate for this and for CWM support in this kernel.

maybe it can be ported from galaxy S code?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donharden2002:
Since you live in the big D you can get your cappy fixed pretty fast.

Contact connexion2005 here or at mobiletechreviews.com

He can fix it more than likely for a descent price.

I think I got his info correct, he is the guy that does the rom in a flash videos.

Hope this helps, if nothing else you can sell it after fixed to get a little money back from your sgs2 purchase.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rixsta:
Early days I know but will you be making voodoo sound for the SGS 2...that would be awesome :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
As far as I understood, he wont make voodoo sound cause of the problems with the yamaha chip (as for now, others start testing also to see if the test was wrong or faulty yamaha chip).

See his sound analysing topic ;)

Remove /!\

Just flashed Supercurio's newest kernel and it worked perfectly! I really would like to get rid of the exclamation point at the boot screen? Is flashing the stock kernel the only way to do this? If I did flash back to stock would I lose root?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elban:
Nevermind...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] johoe:
Wrong - you'll keep root and the yellow exclamation mark disappears! Only thing remains is the custom binary counter...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] treylemkn:
Anyway to keep the custom kernel but get rid of the exclamation?

@supercurio, some images show excessive banding on the sgs2, whilst looking smooth on other devices (both with your v5 and stock ke2), when you take a screenshot on the other device and look at it on the sgs2 it looks smooth. Could this be caused by mdnie? Is there an easy way to disable it to test?

Anyone found a working cifs.ko yet by any chance? Or got cifs working...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] huzz:
Can smb shares be accessed since this kernel has CIFS? Also if I wanted to upgrade to this kernel from CF-ROOT would it be possible using the CWM Manager. I know it might not be the right place to ask but I figured someone might have so I'd ask,

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elban:
Yes you can access windows shares using a program like cifsmanager (or the command line).

I think you can instal it using cwm manager but I think you might lose cwm functionality after that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] supercurio:
Hi guys.

For CIFS, you need to load /lib/modules/cifs.ko, as usual.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andywright1982:
quick n00b question here. Just bought the galaxy s2 and have it rooted on villain 1.1

Which kernel would be best for everyday use to maximise battery/performance?

New to the way of the galaxy coming from the desire

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 0815vortex:
Yeah - but where to find?

I am using Litening Rom 1.1 and it would be great if I could load the CIFS Module without flashing another kernel ...

I prefere using the kernel delivered with the rom.

Can you please extract that cifs.ko?

// EDIT // The Solution for all waiting for cifs.ko //

I've found that Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113191&highlight=cifs

1. Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16953446/cifs-for-GT-I9100.zip

2. Extract "slow-work.ko" and "cifs.ko" to your internal SD.

3. Start CIFS Manager -> Settings -> enable all -> Path to insmod -> and set it to:

/mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko;insmod /mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko

Between "cifs.ko" and "insmod" is a Semicolon. Between "insmod" and "/mnt/..." is a Space.

Now you can add a new Share :)

I am happy!

Tested it on Litening Rom 1.1.

( I'm sorry for my bad english )

Has anyone tried to play a video from an cifs share with this kernel? Has it the same lag like the cifs module from tegrak for the stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dlyh81:
im new to SGS2 phone. just got it a week ago. Just wondering will this work for any version of the phone?

my will be:

Android version:2.3.3 (should i root my phone before i can update to 2.3.4??)

PDA: I9100DXKF1

PHONE:I9100DXKF1

CSC:I9100OLBKE5

and what does it means by these numbers and how do i know my version number?? KF1 KF2 KF3, KE1 KE2...etc.

i read that we need to download the correct version base on our phone version. like for my case i should search for version with KF1 and KE5?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gil80:
I've just flashed the latest kernel and when I get into recovery it's actually download mode. when I reboot into recovery via power menu, I get CWM 3 (blue menu).

how come?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] supercurio:
I might get one one way or another but today I don't have the funds to buy one.

That's why I can compile kernels but not test them, nor write improvements.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] supercurio:
Lot in CyanogenMod is great but I'm not personally a fan of the end result, with complex settings menus, usage and integration of ADW launcher.

So I can tell already that there is nothing to hope from me for a CM port.

However I'm interested by AOSP since the beginning but never found the time to learn and do something in this direction.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bigmo7:
Haha SC leave the SGS community and come over here :p

I think a lot of people are going to show up here...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dh2311:
do you think CWM 3 will be simple enough to add once you have the phone and the sources are out? Thats the last thing limiting custom roms on this beast!

Also, voodoo sound e.t.c, simple enough with sources?

P.S. How much u need for a galaxy s II? if ur not far off i would happily donate to get some good kernels on this :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] supercurio:
CWM3 should not be a problem, for somebody with the device. No biggie, as CWM3 design has been improved for portability :)

Voodoo sound: needs the device to decide if its worth it.

It seems the video recorder still uses low sampling rates, there is definitely something to do here.

I think most of the development for this device for me will be about the screen: low brightness modes and advanced auto-brightness, for a lower eye strain, better battery life and increased readability under the sun.

Fortunately it seems there is not too many "broken" things (if there are!) with Samsung's system already, which is a very good thing.

It will allow to work on more creative stuff. I have for a long time a project of a modern audio player, maybe I'll be able to do it :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AMoosa:
If this is the Korean build, does it have in-all recording?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] supercurio:
To my knowledge, in-call recording is a ROM feature and not a kernel feature.

Auto brightness is a little jittery and sensitive.

I was watching a video earlier and it kept going up and down in brightness but nothing had changed in the room!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jay_993:
hey supercurio,

I've heard from some sites that the SGS II does not use the wolfson chip anymore and that they use some yamaha chip. I hope this is wrong...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Nope you are right no Wolfson anymore . Yamaha one but it seems thst this one is not that bad either .....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] soraxd:
so let me ask, what exactly is this kernel? is it JUST root? is this just an alternative to using that other root method? what exactly am i looking at here?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] supercurio:
Today it's just a toy result of an experimental build from Korean sources.

You can flash it, root your phone manually via ADB and flash a 100% working official kernel again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks for confirming what I read in a review.

It's due to the fact that they use far too few auto-brightness levels. Result is that you can see obvious lightness changes when you're between 2 auto-levels.

Fact that the brightness changes even when the environmental conditions stay the same is funny.

It's caused by

- sensor noise (there is always some noise)...

- but mostly, because of the screen light reflecting on your face and clothes into the light sensor !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jangomango:
Dear mr supercurio... Will you be making the voodoo sound thing for this phone? Id happily donate some hard cash for the effort..!

Get someone to buy you one. I'd be willing to do it, I have the cash up front to do it....id just want the money before I send.

Sold the HD7 to a few people on here when it came out, and been here through all the Galaxy tab developments - add to the fact I'm 25 and not a teen, I'm fairly responsible.

If you want to do something like that, I can help. If not me, maybe someone else?

I sent two HD7's to france when they were released last year. If I remember correctly, it took 2-3 days to get there signed for.

If this is of interest, let me know and I'll get you one from O2 store 5 mins away and get it shipped monday ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dh2311:
Yeh, o2 sold out. I'll have a look on ebay, if I can replace mine you can buy mine off me.

EDIT: Wow people are stupid, really expensive on ebay, I was hoping for an o2 one for £400, but more like £450.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] risq:
That's eBay now, because of the stupid fee's.

In fact, minus paypal fees, eBay fees etc, even selling at 450.00 they will make less than the RRP of 399.99 O2 ask. People seem to forget this. eBay is an utter greed fest by it's owners now and isn't worth selling anything of high value on. I try to stick to under 100.00 items. However, I sold my N8 and my desire HD, and have over 100.00 in fee's between them.

it's a joke really.

My local store were still selling them PAYG today. It must be the online orders that are sold out and back ordered.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] supercurio:
Still available in a store?

/me wants !!

Please :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] risq:
I will phone them tomorrow morning, as our mall shuts at 1800GMT at weekends. They open at 1030GMT tomorrow, so I will phone and check to see if I can put one by.

I'll update this post tomorrow, but if they still have them on PAYG allocation, I'll pick one up and we can sort out the details tomorrow.

Fingers crossed, as they were still selling them at around 1300GMT today ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dh2311:
