Sorry for this stupid query but I've seen in some custom ROM's that a kitchen app is included. Well may I know what is that? I am sure it's not the UOT kitchen, but what is it then?

Any chance of using it without flashing that ROM?

Swyping from my GT-I9100 via Tt
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Its an app where you can get all mods and themes available for that rom. Its not like uot, you can only install themes, cant modify them. As far as I know, kitchen pro of checkeom doesnt work on other roms. Most kitchens are specific for the respective roms
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Nice app, these kind of apps are a bit dangerous too . Within a few min anyone one can mail our contacts and SMS .
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Even normal android contacts backup does the same. Only secure way to backup your contacts is to backup using google
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I guess the kitchen app is now only for checkrom! It's great. Everyone should try once.
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
I know. Its very good. The only reason I am not using checkrom revolution hd is because of gadgetcheck. He was in darky's crew (I remember Nitrozk saying that 5-6 months ago when checkrom was in android development section). Later on, darky himself accused gadgetcheck of stealing his work. And gadgetcheck's recognised developer tag was removed later because of such controversies. I was a big fan of leomar's rom but when he joined gadgetcheck, from that day I have not tried his roms.

Guys, I got an issue. (actually stuck with an issue).

Randomly, My phone keeps buzzing up (something like SMS tone) with vibration (I noticed it a couple of times AFTER ending CALL) but I don't see anything on the screen (any notification/popup/anything). I am not sure what exactly is running which is causing this. I tried to check the running services but I don't see anything . I am attaching a couple of screenshots to help understand the issue.

IMO nobody here in this forum has bought it so far.What i have heard from other country users is this:

Battery strength increased by +350mAh which works out at +21% BUT

It easily adds +30% in battery life (maybe even more) depending on ur use

[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Taking about Kitchen Pro

Right now there is a check in the kitchen pro app which will allow only checkrom users to download mods.How ever you can still pull mods from kitechpro.

Typically mods are stored here http://leomar75.celogeek.com/xwla4/

Change the build number in the url and you will reach the kitechen of that respective build.

Most of these mods will work on any ROM if they are of same build. For eg. XWLA4 kitchen pro mod should work on any rooted XWLA4 ROM (Not all but many of it works i use it often)

Another good place to pull mods is Omega files kitchen available in the themes section. It has Universal mods for all rooted ROM's and also a section of omega ROm specific mods.

From my experience couple(not all) of hyperdroid mods too work on other ROM's.

At times i am on stock rooted ROM and i pull mods from these 2 places :-) with ease. Ofcourse do a Nand back up before applying any other kitchens mod just in case to revert back if you screw up.

Hope that helps. Happy modding with ease.

I am using spare battery and cradle in the second link

Samsung Cradle is better bet,in my opinion,it is sleek and can be carried with batter in it, can be easily place in car for charging. We can carry in pocket.

Samsung cradle doesnt come with any cable we have to charge with exisitng charger of the phone.

cradle also charges phone at 700ma only.

So it takes more than 3hrs :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
You think I should also go for the Samsung official cradle only? Cause I agree with you on the carrying part... And even the Mugen dock will take 3hrs+ only cause it will charge the phone and battery together...

You think it is worth paying that extra for Mugen??

Did you buy it from eBay or from a retail store??
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
mybackup pro is another titanuim backup alternative. It can back up apps/call log/sms/mms/calender/alarms etc.Simple UI gets the job done.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
its all your decision,

if carry is of importance ,then cradle

If not mugen.

with cradle we can put in our backpack and carry with ease.

i already said we can even carry in pocket too

I bought from ebay
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Does it have a proper LED indicator for battery charging and full?

I think il go for the Samsung cradle to only... How long did you take to receive it? Please don't tell me 15-2days lol :(

Can you link me to ur eBay purchase link...
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
1.Is it ok if I have an LCD density changer app along with Spare parts installed? No conflict ryt?

2. And is there any way I can fix the dialer getting messed when u change the density?

3. What is compatibility mode actually and do ul leave it on or off in Spare parts as well as LCD density changer app?
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
I think maybe I should go with Samsung Cradle from ebay. Its handy and you can put your S2 in horizontal position for better desktop viewing.

I already have couple of samsung AC chargers. Mugan is costly because it includes AC charger and USB cable.

But again its great advantage with Mugan if you just place your phone on dock and it starts charging. Mugan is not handy though and you can't put your phone in horizontal mode.

In any case, I will have to order spare battery. How much does it cost ?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
1.it wont conflict but its better to have any one of those.

2.you can fix the dialer from copying the contacts.apk from hyperdroid rom which supports multi dpi.

3.compatability mode makes older apps compatible which are incompatible with multi dpi.

I'm running KF3 on my S2 and want to flash the latest KL1 for India via ODIN .

But i want to wipe my phone (wipe all contacts , messages , apps , settings etc .) while flashing the new ROM . How can i do that .?

The tutorial on intratechs thread first page says that if those steps are followed , then it won't wipe the device . But i want to wipe the device while flashing the new ROM .

How can i do it .? Plz help .... :O
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
flashing via odin automatically erases all the data you mentioned. so proceed with it.

Tried the latest cm9 build and spike pure ics 6.0(LPH custom rom). Both were amazing.

cm9

* new device specific settings looks great.

* mdnie profiles looks cool.

* additional scene modes for camera.

* touch sensitivity settings is nice(especially when set to 10 it amazing).

spike pure ics 6

* definitely the best alternative for stock ics rom.

* mostly ics themed and looks like gnexus lol...

ics lovers should surely give try this rom.

However, All we can do right now is wait and watch. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you are missing the fact virtualsk, we people in the community are so enthusiastic about ics and stuffs because we are reading things about ics from the scratch. the reality is apart from this enthu community majority of the people dunno what is ics,gingerbread etc all they want is a good mobile. Out of some x million s2 sold only a few 100 thousands know about this stuffs. we do know that most of the people dont even use their s2 to its full potential. so as long as samsung releases good roms we people should be happy about that.

Right now, Samsung has lot of things available with ICS but they are not utilizing it for SGS II.

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
lol you saved yourself by not installing cm9 there. it would be funny to see someone who dont know about cm9 but still having it on their mobile, im having a friend like that, he will just simply scream if the video camera doesnt works and will kill me for wasting his mobile :D

We have now 3 UI's to choose from

2.CM9

3.MIUI 4
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I would always go for 2. :D
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
I'm seriously hoping Samsung will make some changes to Touchwiz 4.

For God sake they should at least give a option to change the colour scheme to match the ICS.

But chances that we may see a while new touch wiz are glim in my opinion

Samsung might be thinking that most of elite class users of galaxy s2 Will be shocked to see new look of ICS, so they mitt decide better not to change the UI

Its only one company in this world than can spoil the look of ICS .and name of the company is Samsung.

For sure they will not change the typical look of homescreen for a Samsung smart phones with Samsung Digital clock and weather widget.At least they should do some modifications to match the Ui of ICS

Galnet is good. But Try ndt miui or rohit's miui rom. Those devs have modified and tweaked original miui. The roms have additional tweaks like for touchscreen sensitivity and so on... so better if you try thses modified builds, original miui is a little inferior as compared to these roms on xda
