After reading this, I decided to give it a go. You are right, it is a really great release - really really smooth and quick.

Incidentally, I'm using mine with SiyahKernal 2.6.7.

If you haven't flashed the above already - do it!

I couldn't agree more LA2 is the most stable, i have tried many.
[Galaxy S II General] cmorelm:
I'm on Frankenstain LA2, does anybody knows why it does not have video talk on google Talk, one of the previous firmwares had it and now this latest one does not.

I'm not rooted so I can't install it the way they show in the forum.
[Galaxy S II General] juraj.s:
The same problem here... I am also not willing to root my phone. I am just lazy and also not so experienced to root my phone just by waving a maguc wand :rolleyes:.

I know that some particular samsung firmwares has a video in talk, but none of those firmwares were worthy using. I am really surprised how impotent samsung is, that they are not able include video in such essential app.

My phone is locked to Vodafone, does that mean that I cant flash the latest Frankenstein Rom (XILA2) on it?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You can flash it as long as it's a I9100 and not a I9100G
[Galaxy S II General] Mad_Rick:
Thank you for the reply Intratech, and also for all the hard work that you have been putting in to this forum!!

Yes its a I9100, and also from what I have been told here in the forum it doesn't matter that its locked to vodafone, right?
[Galaxy S II General] joaobarroso:
Thats not a problem, my is TMN and works to very well.

Need some feedback on a suggestion. Please take part in the poll.
[Galaxy S II General] krishca:
Vote for root!!! (rhyming)

Dear Intra, Even though I have voted for root, (there was only yes or no option) I believe that there should be separate frankestein versions with root and without root.

Thanks for your good work once again.
[Galaxy S II General] mbutandola:
Sorry to disagree. He would have to open up a new section. That's too much work in my opinion. Intratech's already doing a lot for us. If you don't want root you could still flash the stock one don't you think? :)
[Galaxy S II General] krishca:
To my knowledge Intra packs different Modem's and CSC's in the Frankestein versions based on his experience and there is a separate group of fan following for the frankestein's.

Sorry never intended that Intra should overwork.
[Galaxy S II General] bdastoor:
Re : The Poll

The Frankenstein ROMs are used when a better modem is packed or even if the ROM is made non-wipe etc. Some of us cant live without root (like self) and others want to keep stock. There are several easy methods to obtain root for those of us who would want to : Use CF's kernels via PC odin n jig, mobile odin, cwm etc. But at least that option is left to us. Packing CF Root with the Frankenstein ROMs forces people who want to remain non rooted to flash stock ROM even though its full wipe.

Just my two bits. Dont flame, people. :D
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Would be good that frankestein version come pre-root, so sad that there is no longer Megaupload that provide ultra-fast download speed. :(
[Galaxy S II General] UpInTheAir:
App: Mobile Odin Pro

In the meantime, highly recommend Chainfire's Mobile Odin Pro, which is able to root while flashing directly from the phone. No need for PC. :D
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You need to be rooted already to use MobileODIN. :)

[Galaxy S II General] mgmate:
In my humble opinion Frankenstein versions should be rooted.

Just my opinion. I doubt somebody who installs a Frankenstein version does not root just after that.

What I would keep is both streams, one for standard and one for Frankenstein. This would follow the philosophy of this tread I think.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Why are you extracting the .tar package? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] vijayvasa:
inorder to install the original vodafone kernel , as my phone kernel was vodafones. Using ODIN3 v1.85 to install the kernal , and hence I thought I needed the tar file? Am I wrong ?

Regards

VJ
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The guide mentions nothing about extracting the contents of the .tar package. Just extract the .tar from the compressed archive.

edit: Did you also read the little bit where it mentions using 7Zip to extract the contents? I've switched to self extracting 7z to avoid this and also for smaller file size now.
[Galaxy S II General] jacobnorth:
Great, I hope I can get the Dutch KE7 soon! Maybe I'll just update with Kies instead of Odin.

Some questions:

- Does Kies recognize my phone if I have a different stock kernel (UK)? CSC is still original Dutch.

- Can I update regardless the system apps I've frozen?

- And after I've updated, is there a way to extract the new firmware and post it here?
[Galaxy S II General] vijayvasa:
Yes, I am using 7zip to extract.Not sure what I am doing wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
1. Yes

2. Yes

Can you post the product code for your device (eg. uk is GT-I9100LKAXEU) and your current firmware (pda, csc, phone) for me?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Polish XXKE4 now available.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
After you extract the first time you get a .tar file. Done!
[Galaxy S II General] jacobnorth:
PDA: I9200XWKE1

PHONE: I9100XXKDJ

CSC: I9100XENKD3

Where do I find the product code?

PS: Newer deliveries in the Netherlands arrive with WKE2 since this week.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Coming soon. Kernel is up. See first post. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
XWKE2 is the latest available on the server for XEN. It's already uploaded. :)
[Galaxy S II General] jacobnorth:
Thnx. I thought that XWKE7 for XEN was rolling out, but it seems I have to wait for that one.

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:

[Galaxy S II General] kendragon:
Can I flash csc alone after had falash a rom or I flash csc and rom in the same time?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The entire Italian KE7 package is available in 1 file to download (ITV) and it has the CSC already. You don't need to mess with the CSC. This is why I didn't want to do Frankenstein package because it may confuse people.
[Galaxy S II General] kendragon:
Yes I know but I have a problem with my csc: I have only xeu and I do no why so I want to put italian csc with odin. Can I flash csc alone?
[Galaxy S II General] msjfb:
Just received a SGS2 from Expansys: I am in Canada and they sent me a unit from Poland (www.samsung.pl on the box).

I switched the phone to english, setup the basics, installed Kies and it updated my phone from KE2 to KE4. Here is what I have now:

PDA: i9100XXKE4

PHONE: i9100XXKE4

CSC: i900XAKE4

Date: May 17

At this point I do not want to root but just have the latest firmware installed to test the phone.

Can anyone confirm that I can safely burn only the PDA firmware i9100XWKE7 using ODIN, without changing anything any else ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] vijayvasa:
You are not getting a tar file, it errors out, you can test it too. Am using the password intratech@XDA I HOPE its correct. I have done this before so i am aware of instructions, may be the file is corrupt.

[Galaxy S II General] mbevc1:
And my .5c; if there will be rooted Frankenstein there also should be a non-root one. I personally use non rooted one, because I like to stay as close as I can to stock - but there is better modem+csc combination on Frankenstein ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Ok guys, I was seeking permission from Chainfire to use his kernel but he didn't agree with it so that's nipped this suggestion in the bud. Guess it's going to remain as is. :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Easy enough the way it is imo. Gives a chance for new users to learn how to root instead of just getting it ready made.

LA2 Market not downloading over wifi

First of, let me thank you Intratech for your awesome guides and roms.

Second, I'm unable to download apps over wifi using market 3.4.4. My SGS2 is running under the frankenstein LA2, anyone else has this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Edit: I have tried flashing frankenstein KL1, and I'm having the same problem, so I guess that it could be related to my ISP, it's weird because I'm able to browse and everything else.

[Galaxy S II General] gc3:
don't doubt...I rely on the Frankenstein versions but still haven't rooted
[Galaxy S II General] Smartie36:
I have no interest in rooting my S2 so if the Frankenstein roms end up with the CF Root included then that counts me out from being able to use them & I'll end up being forced to use the full wipe edition instead, which would be a royal pain in the a**e!
[Galaxy S II General] Rinoko72:
No need to worry about it..

Read back a page or to and you can see what Intratech wrote himself..

But I do think he should remove the "pol" so people don't get confused ..
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Yeah, was looking for a way to remove the poll and there doesn't seem to be one. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] danieldmm:

Anyone else having this? How can this be fixed?

People on KL1 rooted version (franky or standard)

Problem with Samsung Email application and Swype.

One odd thing that happens to me with every version from the "beginning" KJ1 (I do not remember from which version), is that the Email application (the Samsung one for Exchange) using the Swype Keyboard, when I am writing an email and I want to do some change to a word that is wrong and has been written some words ago, if you change the pointer to that word, Swype lost the "pointer" and gets crazy, modifying some other words in a different point in the email.

It is a bug that is repeatable, so doing two modifications to different words always lead us to write in wrong places of the email.

I remember that with KL1 version this does not happens (but I have other issues). It is possible for somebody in KL1 (either Frankenstein or standard) version send to me the email.apk aplication from this version to test thoroughly?

For rooted people in that version is as easy as transfer that apk file to the PC to put a message in this forum.

It is located on system/app and I am looking for both files email.apk and email.odex
