H E L P !!

Guys, i'm currently using Litening ROM 1.3 and i wanted to try out the VillainROM 1.2.. i read in the instructions that i have to flash to stock Kernel using ODIN before i do this, which i did with success. but right after this i could not flash anything anymore!!

I even could not restore my backed up ROM via ROM Manager. I tried CWM many times with no success!

Every time i do flashing or restore, the process stops and gives me the following msg:

(Successfully copied media files.

# MANUAL MODE #

Successfully updated application.

Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to '/system/csc/XEU/system/'

Successfully applied multi-CSC)

I appreciate you help!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
it has been a while since it happened to me... but you have to wipe, flash the stock kernel and then factory reset/reboot. I had a nightmare of a time, but I was re assured, it is pretty hard to mess up a samsung device.... let me know if you need the link
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sauriann:
Where did you copy your VillainROM 1.2 zip file? On which memory?

Try to put zip file to internal sd (one that is larger)

If you have flash v4.0 kernel step before you should read that:

"This can also cause issues restoring pre-4.0 nandroid backups."

p.s on that rom I could not get rid of problems with mail.apk, so i back on Lite'ning Rom...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Beefheart:
Moving from VillainRom 1.1 to this still causes bootloop I see. Is there an easy way around this without having to flash the stock firmware?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ammarselo:
Yes sir! please send me the link and save my life!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Beefheart:
Ignore this. I performed a factory reset, cache wipe and dev wipe and then flashed again. It then worked fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ammarselo:
I copied the VillainROM into my SD (larger).

Regarding the mail.apk problem, i read about it and they have a fix for it that you can download (which i did).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Eukanaba:
Is it better to stay on version 1.3 than flashing 1.4. Seems alot is having issues with 1.4.

I'm still waiting for my USB ijg so i can get rid for the yellow triangle. Any danger in flashing when i don't have a jig?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] saar73:
can someone please tell me what is "Wi-Fi Shering" and why it takes 20% of my battery life?

its not the "regular" wi-fi right? what can i do to stop it? (im not using any hotspot or something)

using 1.4 ver.

thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] snark_be:
See message #2078 and below. I explain what is it about and how to freeze them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] saar73:
thank you :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ashok:
what to do to remove the notification sound "recharge enabled" while charging the phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hovnovice:
I have the same problem after freeze sharing WIFI etc... with 32 % with Android OS .Will try your solution and report...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyS!:
You can flash the Lite'ning Rom without any danger. The rom will not delete your data. If you get your jig you can remove the yellow triangle.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rafael000:
I froze it and wifi sharing manager with AntTek app (the free Titanium won't let you freeze).

Man, now I battery is normal again.

When I flashed Litening 1.4 it was losing 1% like every 10 minutes.

Now I'm at 65% after 18 hours (light use, overnigh and wifi or 3G always on)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mikeinessex:
im on 1.2 but the crt screen off animation isnt very good. its got loads of black blurs in it which i think is how its ment to be. but its alot nicer when its all white. like the cm7 one
[Galaxy S II Android Development] audino:
I tried to change fonts by replacing them into sys\fonts but it wont work...

any help?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hovnovice:
Noob question : How do you use the JIG USB to get rid of yellow triangle ? Just plug and reboot or ...? put in recovery mode and reboot ? thanks I am waiting for the JIG tomorrow )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyS!:
Just turn off your sgs2 then place the jig into the mini usb port

Your phone will then start into download mode, then you can take out the jig and restart your phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] snark_be:
Fonts are installed like applications (with an APK) and you can change them in Settings - Display - Screen display - Font style. No need to change files in sys\fonts or anywhere else.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] diehard2222:
Yeah i get this too using 1.4 of this rom. However after a reboot it fixes it for a while but then it jus comes back. Never happened on my sgs on 2.3.3 with juwes rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hovnovice:
I did it , wipe and factory reset : It works , my OS is down to 9% from 34 % ...))
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mikeinessex:
annoying init. just makes the phone look broke rather then cool
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyS!:


Thats great, congrats :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] snark_be:
How did you save your apps? Backup with Titanium Backup and restore afterwards?

Restore of only the user data, or also the system data?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbroeders:
Good to hear! Just make sure you don't restore any system settings with Titanium Backup and everything will stay fine (hopefully)! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] teo91:
Everything is ok for me. Very good rom, i haven't any problem. Good good good
[Galaxy S II Android Development] oriondely:
Hi all,

A small cosmetic problem here with crt lock animation. Sometimes it seems to have graphical corruptions... someone withthe same problem?

:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hovnovice:
I did a back up with CWM , just in case , ..But If I restore it I am sure the OS will be back to 32 % or more like before. Since I have this super Galaxy SII since a few days , so I don't loose many datas ; I put all the important ones inc some bought apk in my external SD )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] teo91:
Just a little problem with gtalk : doens't work with 3G

just wifi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djsaad1:
1. Download SQLight editor from the market

2. If you don't have a good file manager also get Root Explorer from the market.

3. After both are installed - use Root Explorer to browse to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db and click on it

4. Now click on "main"

5. Scroll down to gtalk_vc_wifi_only - highlight and hold

6. Press "Edit Record" and change the "value" to false instead of true

Has anyone from the UK tried BBC iPlayer on 1.4? It doesn't connect for me on 1.3. Also does IM work? It doesn't connect either on 1.3.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Did you read anything before typing that question? Educated guess: nope, nada.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Krizp0:
The CRT sometimes ends up like this, garbled. No solution yet but a reboot fixes it for a while :)

Not all users read through whole threads before flashing a ROM you know, so maybe you could at least give him an answer after making fun of him :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] minty1978:
yep, works fine for me. but it did on 1.3 too.

wish we could watch over 3g and not just wifi :(

Litening ROM 1.5 soon

on LiteningRom twitter is a message: Right now I am working on a new version of the Lite´ning Rom.

:):):)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RandyboY:
I've had the battery drain myself and freezed the wifi-sharing in Titanium. So lets see if that works. There is talk about wiping the battery stats to see it better, but how is this done? How to wipe my stats on my battery to start over again? Have rebooted, but that didnt work.

I also have SystemPanel and it whows System Processes as 6,2% in a weeks collection(prolly not a full wek yet). When i then go into that it give me two processes with fairly high percentage. "suspend" with 2,9% and "events/0" with 2,8%. What is this and why does it take so much more battery than all the rest which starts at 0,2%...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Copaco:
That sounds really great :)

Thank you for letting us know.... love the Lite'ning Rom :D

:):):)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyS!:
Thank you. I look for forward :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] greigster:
Wipe battery stats through Clockworkmod and do it through recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OisteinR:
You can try whatever you like. Some times it looks better - for a while. The Android OS bug will NOT disappear before Samsung releases 2.3.4. The same happened on my i9000. Battery drain started with the release of Gingerbread, and disappeared last week when 2.3.4 was released.

You know that the bug is real when Samsung denies its existance. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RandyboY:
How do you know its gone in 2.3.4?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TA123:
Thanks a lot for the reply. Will try probably do a full wipe and flash 1.4 after that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OisteinR:
It was quite obvious. As you said the suspend and events/0 stopped eating the CPU. I think I tried every suggestion to get rid of it, but the only solution was 2.3.4.

On my i9100 I can see exactly the same problem, so I hope we get 2.3.4 soon...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dany__:
Hi,

if you don't have the USB JIG, you can remove The yellow triangle just by flashing the original KF1 kernel after liet'ning rom. you can do it with ODIN or directly with CWM > flash kernel.

To have the chainfire root kernel again, just unrar the rom.tar file, you will get a file named zImage , flash it again as kernel like the 1st one.

That's it.

Big battery drain

Hello,

I flashed today from my stock rom. It's a nice job but the battery drain is way too high compared with the stock one. And yes, I flashed with 100% battery.

Hoping that you can fix this soon or I will have to go to the original firmware.

Thanks.

PS: by the way, i know I should checked earlier, but is possible to flash the stock rom? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hunteres:
mate pls...buy titanium backup and froze all the samsung junk and wifi sharing + few more things that u wont need/

get a system panel and track apps that are producing the battery drain.

this is the best rom so far...but go back to stock nobody is gonna cry here...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] terence0103:
does it support XXKE4?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] efjbdejong:
Battery

Guys,

can you please help me out here.

Flashed 1.4 yesterday evening.

Device was at 100%

Did a full wipe after the flash.

Freezed the wifi sharing apps.

Went to sleep.

Woke up battery at 55%

Here is my battery diagram.

What should I do now?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] alien0101:
Hi

Yesterday first time I tried Lightening ROM . As some of the threads mentioned that 1.4 is not stable so I installed 1.3 on my G S2.

Now in download mode I can see download counter to 2. Is there any significance of download counter other than a way to tell that user has install custom ROM?

Or is it a way to limit number of custom roms on mobile? I am not able to understand significance of download counter.

Also I am getting Yellow Exclamanation mark during booting. In rom description its mentioned that we wont get yellow exclamation . Will it cause any harm?

Alien
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rixsta:
Won't cause any harm...its just a pain i know....buy a usb jig ...this gets rid of it....the jig for the sgs 1 works ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ywk:
USB Jig can help u.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bazofia:
I'm using 1.4 and the latest 10.3 flash player from the market, unfortunately when viewing a video in full screen mode the notification area is always on top. Before flashing Lite'ning I'm sure it was hidden. Any ideas why this is happenening? Anyone has the same problem?

Also like a previuous poster said my BBC iplayer app does not work anymore, it never finds any video after launching it but the iplayer mobile website works fine (except for the problem above).

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Richdog:
A couple of people on OCUk seem to be reporting bad battery life on this ROM... anyone else had any issues?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] luke997:
I flashed the phone last night:

1) 1.2 to 1.4

2) CWM 4.0

3) Data wipe & factory reset

4) Uninstall wi-fi sharing & samsung bloatware

After all that battery drain seems to be a bit less than before.

In 14h it went down from 95% to 69% and this includes all flashing, restoring apps etc. + 1h of playing with settings etc.

Still though I think it could be better as the Android OS is slowly going up in the battery usage so hopefully 2.3.4 will fix it fully.

Interestingly same set of apps, after reboot and clear mem I have 182MB memory used. On 1.2 it was 169MB.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Timpppa:
A had very bad batterylife but found a tip in the VillainRom thread that seem to work good. Let's found out today...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] snark_be:
And what is this tip?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DuMaX:
I'm at ~60% after 24 hours of medium use.

The key is to actually optimise your device, and knowing what is reasonable to expect from a smart phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DuMaX:
Probably this post:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] luke997:
Is it only me or removing omacp (sms/mms) and gmail makes this smartphone...hmmm... less smart? ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OisteinR:
...or turn off your phone and throw it in the toilet...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbroeders:
lol, indeed! People who want amazing battery life, should go back to the old days and buy a Nokia or something. With medium usage you should easily get through the day, whether you are stock or using a custom rom. Why would you take out all the stuff that makes this phone (or with gmail, any android phone) so special...:confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hovnovice:
...But if your remove or freeze all what suggested there, then u dont need any more the SG II fantastic goodies ,just buy a old Nokia for a long life battery :) LOL
[Galaxy S II Android Development] caudex:
Does this work on the i9100T version?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mark2222:
Oh come on. You don't need most of that stuff. I much prefer to use kaiten mail and there's certain no need to disable sms. All the hubs can go with sns as well and wifi sharing. No difference in what I use and much better battery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mjcook1984:
has the ability to change the theme of the stock sms app been removed in this rom i cant seem to find it anymore:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bazzio:
If I freeze the Wifi sharing apps and don't use my phone for a few minutes, after waking it up my wifi connection doesn't work. Icon in notification bar is still lit but no data connection is working, only thing that helps is turning wifi off and back on again via the notification bar. Are there more people with the same problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ohkuni:
It looks like all but 2 of the stock wallpapers have been removed, anyone know where I can get these back?

Well said ^^

Next time I go for a long drive in my car alone I will remove all the other seats etc to save petrol ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Foxdraed:
If i m not mistaken that is due to the Firmware rather than the Rom. At least that is what i read a few pages back!

Btw can someone confirm if this rom has got chainfire 3d in it? Because when i use quadrant standard and go system information, under "GPU (OpenGL)", beside renderer there is "Mali-400 MP / Chainfire3D"

Does that mean this rom has got chainfire 3d in it? Oo
[Galaxy S II Android Development] snark_be:
ROM = firmware, no?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Foxdraed:
Nope! The rom which is the Litening Rom provided by LitePro is based on the firmware provided by Samsung. So if samsung removes certain aspects from their own firmware, then it will be removed from the Litening Rom.

So if the the themes were removed from the Stock Firmware of XWKF1 by Samsung, then the Litening Rom v1.4 which is based on the XWKF1 firmware will not have those themes. Unless of course they are manually added by LitePro himself.

Like I said though, I m not certain if they were removed from the Firmware or the Rom. But there was a similar question few pages back on such themes and the reply of the next poster was that it is due to the firmware :) Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] k1000716:
My phone has done that from day one. I've been hoping each new firmware would fix it, but after six weeks I've starting getting used to it... :-(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bazzio:
Hmmzz...freezing the wifi apps was not the problem, still got it today after unfreeze and reboot. i've changed the Wifi connection to my other router (54G, other is 300N) and now no problems after waking up.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jzuijlek:
Wifi in the modem firmware is a bit flaky. Hopefully it'll be fixed in upcoming firmwares.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BGH80:
risq, do you mind mentioning which launcher/theme/icons/widgets etc that you are using there?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] risq:
I had a feeling id be asked :)

*ADW EX is the launcher

*Wallpaper is from HD wallpaper app on market

*Icons are glass, from custom launcher app on market

*Simi clock widget

*simple calendar

*Pure music widget

*minimal new reader pro

*facez pro
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leedavis:
What's your battery life like with that stuff running mate? I tried some of those components before and battery was terrible, but it may have been with previous kernel...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psych2l:
lol can you link the launcher app where you got the glass icons? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LitePro:
I think it will work but is not a KE7 kernel

As far as i know there is no sources available for KE7 kernel so they can't make a specific KE7 OC kernel at the moment.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LitePro:
Nice screenshots :cool:

In the next update the notification area will be changed :)

Using the this rom since 24 hours, everything works well, but the battery drain is a bit quicker than normal. Not sure what is causing though.

Just rootted my SGS2 with your ROM, thnx for the clear instructions. Rooting never was so easy as this (coming from a rooted DHD).

The rom looks great, hopfully the performance to ;) can't say right now but i have great hopes and expectations.

THnx !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaFileFather:
Is there a call recording feature in this ROM ... LitePro?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ritchie.tomasouw:
p.s. does this rom also contains all the battery drain fixes like the "Fix FastDormancy Battery drain"??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phytrax:
Bug Report:

-Minimalist Text widgets will now work about half the time, maybe 2/3 of the time. Seems random.

-Call quality: People have a lot of trouble hearing me unless I use speaker phone sometimes. Other times they can hear me just fine. I would say it's not the ROM except that speakerphone works fine so that sounds like a software issue to me, maybe noise cancelling.

-Battery Life: I don't know that my battery life is any worse than the original ROM but it's not any better, which is not good. I can't make it through a whole day unless I use 0% brightness.

I know some of these might not actually be bugs, but overall, thanks for a really nice ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chief1978:
Same for me :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ohkuni:
Actually I've searched for hours for the S2 defaults and couldn't find these, all they have are the live wallpapers. You have a go and see.

Edit: Actually I found the answer by posting a new thread as there was nothing when searching. If anyone's interested the files are found in: TwWallpaperChooser.apk in system/app
