Hi All,

I am new to theGalaxy S2 forum.well, i am from Pune and i bought my GS II this week.

i successfully CF-rooted my phone and its on KG6 now with the stock rom.

My stock kernel was 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root@Dell101 #2

then i did CF-root to this kernel CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG6-v4.1-CWM4

but when i installed a battery % mod from the GENERAL section on GS II forums which stated KG6 STOCK and Vallian rom support and since then my phone starts rebooting and stuck on the boot screen itself.

can u please help.Also which ROM u find the best over here.both bug free and performance wise.

is lightening rom better than exynos 4.2 ?

please help.im in deep trouble not able to use my phone.

[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
For ROM queries, my 2 cents

I used Litening ROM for about 3 weeks, then CM7 for 2 weeks and now Villain ROM for about a week.

Litening ROM was beautiful, very well themed and gave me a good battery life plus over-clocking/under-volting

CM7 was a different thing, based on AOSP and has a unique feel to it - definitely the fastest amongst the 3, had way more features and customizability and lovely theme support - only left it because bluetooth is not working properly on it (as of now)

Villain ROM seems to be about as fast as Litening and probably has a better support on the community for some reason (first android phone, but people seem to know the developer more and are generally more knowledgeable people there methinks)

Disclaimer: I used VR about 2 weeks after Litening ROM and can't really compare those 2.

Both VR and LR are quite popular and with new ROMs coming up every hour or so (at least it seems like it) things are very confusing :)

Go for VR/LR for stability and something which is an improvement but not very different from the stock ROM, CM7 if you don't use blue-tooth. Of course, this is with 8 weeks total experience on Android and even lesser on this forum :)
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:
Thanks for the info.But im unable to boot my device.its just getting into the splash screen continuously like a loop since i flashed a battery % mod from clockwork recovery.

please help me.what should i do ?
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
did you do a backup?

In that case

1. Press the power button for 8 seconds to shut the phone off

2. Then press "VolumeUp + Home + Power" and keep it pressed till you see the initial splash screen (press buttons in that order too...)

3. Goto backup and restore and restore your previously known working settings.
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:
no i hadn't done the backup. i have now flashed the stock indian rom again.but still stuck at the splash screen.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
As mentioned above by goldbergx,

1. Press the power button for 8 seconds to shut the phone off

2. Then press "VolumeUp + Home + Power" and keep it pressed till you see the initial splash screen (press buttons in that order too...)

3. Goto backup and restore and restore your previously known working settings.

OR

Clean Cache / Factory Reset.
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Yep as dhruvmalik says.

Also to be completely sure, do a full wipe. Here is how you can do it

1. Press the power button for 8 seconds to shut the phone off

2. Then press "VolumeUp + Home + Power" and keep it pressed till you see the initial splash screen (press buttons in that order too...)

3. Wipe Cache Partition

4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

5. goto Advanced and then Wipe Dalvik Cache.

6. Reboot System Now.

This should get you back in business. Hope this helps. Best to always do a backup if you are applying a mod.
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:

Galaxy S II Font

May I have the system/fonts from the Galaxy S II. I just love that font sporting on that killer phone. Looked for it all over the net. I'm sure its not the default droid font. It has to be something different. Can you help a fellow Galaxy S I9000 user ?

Flashed ICS 1.7 it is nice
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
ICS 1.7 works with Criskelo

@bala

ICS Dom 1.7 works flawlessly on Criskelo 34.1! :) Pretty awesome.. :P

Oh I asked this earlier but didn't get any answer. Does flashing a theme like ICS domination cause more battery drain?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Oh! Thanks for the info!!

There is no good reason for a theme to drain the battery, it wont :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Hey.......1 question when you open JKay Deluxe Settings is Status Bar getting force closed?

If I open JKay Deluxe settings Status Bar is getting forced close but Status Bar will be back...If I open Jkay Deluxe settings again later when I need..Status Bar will get Force close again and It wont return till restart mobile :(
[Galaxy S II General] sam142000:
Help me update - Sorry if its already been asked

Hi!!

Please someone tell me the procedure to install 2.3.6 on my S2, or guide me to the exact forum. I have already searched various guides, but all the info there it too technical for me to understand.

I live in India and currently have 2.3.3 installed.

Also tell me how to get back to my stock firmware(As if nothing had happened), if the new one crashes my phone.

Currently I have

PDA: I9100XWKF3

PHONE: I9100DDKE4

CSC: I9100ODDKF3

Thanks in Advance!! :o
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
My advise: stay with official firmware for some time. be familiar with the phone. Sammy announced ICS update for S2 in first quarter of 2012. At least some stable leaks might come.

If you still want an update there is lots of rom available, either choose from Intratechs thread or choose any custom one as suits your taste
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Jkay has been updated so it will FC trying to load your old settings. All you need to do is goto manage apps and clear data. Then you can go and setup okay settings again.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I am saying Status bar is getting Force close when I open JKay not JKay is getting force close and I have tried that before posting still same

Bought my new samsung galaxy s2 last week, i connected it through kies but kies got updated ..... now when I am trying to connect my device it is being installed as an unknown device and no drivers are found.

I tried 32 bit windows xp and 64 bit windows 7.

Any suggestions what goes wrong........
[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
reinstall drivers

Reintall KIES...It should help...Kies is crappy enough to give problems without any reason..
[Galaxy S II General] vsangal:
I install the kies on another system with xp(after trying with windows7).....still usb not detected s2............one crappy thing is system rejected s2 saying unknown device......in both cases..........

so install, reinstallation of kies.......install driver button in the kies all tried but no use...........I also tried connecting via wifi..........but kies got hanged and keep on saying connecting.........to no use

Anyone who's facing disappearing status bar and FC in deluxe settings app managed to find a solution? :)

Using kk5 based gingermod rom, got all new jkay via vertumus ics universal theme 1.7.

Tried different permissions for the app (yeah system apps' permission should be rw,r,r but gave a try).

Removed deluxe settings from /system/app and installed it had an user app.

Cleared app's data, also tried the usual cache wipes, fix permissions in cwm, reinstalled theme many times. Nothing works.

Even extracted jkay app from one of jkay themes and installed it as system app and then user app.

Are the other people having this issue on kk5 as well? Something is not right about the framework or one of the xml i think.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Same problem here.PM'ed Dev of the Theme..He saw my pm but didn't reply :(
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well thought the setting cache clear will help. Post the issue in ICS 1.6 thread or JKay thread. Hope it will be solved.. No problem her for me with ICS 1.7.

Btw did you post install the 1.7 without any Mods?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Yes.I have never installed any mods.....Was using 1.6 and flashed 1.7 on it

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Wait What No Problem with status bar :eek: HHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You asking why I don't have the problem? Well I don't know why I'm not having lol. I had Mods and stuffs installed still I installed 1.7 over 1.6 without any wipes and it flashed smoothly and no errors. Just can't figure out why issue with some people here. Are you guys overlooking anything?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I am thinking how to fix it while watching TV.....other than this problem Theme is really Cool
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Can't fix it when watching tv lol :p your last resort is to try non wipe flash of CheckROM.

Also in 1.6 you had force close of phone and contacts right? Which you fixed by replacing the apk?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I never had that problem........I will try that later
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
on AOSP gingerbread. it is butter smooth. loving it. few drawbacks, no gTalk with video(something i really need), no video player.

the good part. no crapsung's touchwiz. hope the battery life is good.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Okay. Let us know.

Nice. Is it CM 7? I liked the touchwiz in GS2 though :p it truly uses hardware acceleration even without ICS. No other launcher can do that. Bala had the experience ;)
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Mr. Vert. helps only for those people who donates him. He clearly mentioned this thing in the thread. Also he reserved high quality icon set for the donator's only.:eek::eek:

[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Even I'm having absolutely no issues with Jayk 13.3.3.8 + ICS 1.7 + Criskelo. No FC's.

@Ravi

Try flashing theme restore from the Kitchen then reflash ICS 1.7. Also uninstall any old version of Jayk before flashing ICS 1.7.

I think almost all the providers in india support NITZ, automatic time settings :(

Edit:

Oops!! It seems codeworxx released an alpha build, was scratching my head after reading your post :)
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
@bala

I went back to stock Criskelo theme but I seem to have lost all animations. You know how the screen flips everytime I click a menu option and when a window or pop up open it's like a drop falling from the top of the screen. Thanks seems to have gone. How to re-enable those animations?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you can always reflash criskelo34 without wiping, it will get you those missing files back. I think criskelo 34 is a non wipe rom, double check it.
[Galaxy S II General] sgs2arora:
So does this mean we Indian(vodafone) users wont be able to make phone calls in the CM9 alpha build as the RIL will crash due to NITZ?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Not only vodafone, but most of the providers support, but anyway we can give it a try, whether it works or not is a separate story.
[Galaxy S II General] sgs2arora:
Please post about the status(phone calls) if you get to try the build. Thats the only thing stopping me from flashing that build.

Thanks

Im bandwidth limited, will install it tmrw morning

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Will try it later because right now no issue with it.Clicked Clear data of settings two times and clicked clear data of JKay setting for now it fixed (This didn't work before)...I am sure restart of mobile will bring back the problem than I will try this

"For anyone who has a NITZ operator but doesn't use 3g data simply replace the ril files with the ones from KP1 to get signal."

Here is my input about cm9

Just after flashing phone automatically boots in to cwm. here Home button does not working, the power button works like home button

No mobile network with Idea confirmed.

Video Cam. not working.

The phone is buttery smooth, no lag at all.

The bunch of live wallpapers are superb. It may be in the previous alpas, i don't know.

No network means no internet so i cant say more abt that

Finally, I was trying to import contacts from sim, it stuck on reading the Sim.

That means simcard not detecting by phone.

This build is not usable.
[Galaxy S II General] sgs2arora:

And what about wifi? Any FC's?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
That post didnt help, also reinstalled the theme as said in jkay instructions. no use.

i played the game as it is, also tried using 16x anti aliasing the later was much better .
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
You got success with that, sadly now no Wifi network avlble for me.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Have attached thee XXKP1 RIL files ,

push the 3 files into "lib" folder in the root directory and replace it. Pls provide with a feedback whether the network is working or not after copying the files.

also data network working, ilogged in and downloading file manafer, its awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how to take screen capture with this?

Hey guys quick question is it safe to flash official kk5 rom through Odin over my stock kf3 rom ? If yes wot precautions should I have while flashing or before flashing? I'm new with samsung galaxy s2. Previously owned xperia x10i that I used to flash almost everyday with custom roms & kernels. I ll appreciate your help
[Galaxy S II General] sgs2arora:
I am a new user using siyah kernel 2.4.1 kernel and MIUI ICS stable 2.11.26. what would be the best way going about flashing the CM9 build?
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Ok!! So I am on CM9 since a few hours. It's quite usable.

At first with my AIRTEL sim (which has NITZ support), the network kept crashing. After a reboot it was stable with data working. I rebooted to once again to check if it stays but it again started crashing like the first time. So basically once in a few boots you may get a stable network. Funny!

Now with the KP1 RIL files, I get solid network but there's no data, not even EDGE.

There is E/3G icon but it is dead, I don't see the download and upload arrows. So in brief, with KP1 RIL, there is stable network(No crash due NITZ) but no DATA!!

WIFI works fine, and that's what I am using right now. I will report if I find anything else interesting.

For those who are complaining about Camera not working, I found out something interesting.

Camera works if and only if TOUCH-TO-FOCUS is used. Otherwise it crashes.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

I recommend the ODIN way. People who flashed with CWM method have all the complains like WIFI not working, Crashes, camera not working and many other.

I flashed via ODIN and it works just as said by CODEWORKX.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
My phone doesn't connecting with pc, Yours?
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
This is mostly a hit and miss. As Codeworkx already said - 1/10 times. No guarantees. Moreover the RIL will crash again, when you move in to a different network cell.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
It doesn't.

---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

Yeah, I read that. For those who don't use DATA, this build with KP1 RIL is quite usable.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Here is screen shots

you can see network and datanetwork
