Hi,

Can I restore via CWM on my phone.

I opened CWM on my phone & found something like this :

CWM Manager - Restore backup

2012-03-03.23.51.44

32 days, 4 hours ago, 509.1MB, Int.SD

I pressed on the above option(in RED) & found something like this :

Restore backup ?

2012-03-03.23.51.44

Kernel

System

Data

Cache

Can I select the "Restore" button here to restore back to the Stock version(may be Gingerbread)

I remember that was the time since I started flashing Custom ROMS on my Phone.

Please help this noob...

Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well that's okay. Too bad that I can't use the counter now :thumbdown: what I thought was that this counter will just read out the days from somewhere in that system and get the days.

Aye! Now on SwiftKey 3 beta. Well I will get an update in market anyways :p
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Anyone using CM9 with a different dpi than stock? When I pull down the notification bar, the ring that is at the bottom is not in the center of the screen. It has shifted to it's left/right side. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yup you can do that. You will have gingerbread in no time. Just give it sometime to restore. And it's suggested that you make a titanium backup before restoring.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
im at 160, just noticed it, may be a point or two in the right for me :) have to say u have real sharp eyes
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
I am using 182 dpi and no such issue.Try restarting or clearing caches.
[Galaxy S II General] nsavinash:
Thank You

Hi

Thanks for the advice.

Will I lose root after I restore back to Stock.

If I lose root. Will I still be able to restore all my apps backed up through Titanium ?

Thanks again !!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
How will you get update from market? Swiftkey X is different and Swiftker 3
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well you were able to make that nandroid backup only after rooting right? So when you restore back you will still have root. It's just like going back in time. And after restore you can make apps restore from titanium

Take a nandroid backup of current ROM too if you desire.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yes, you can use the counter now. Just set the date and it will show the duration since. I just installed it in my friends some days back, definitely should be working.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But once is out of beta, they should give the update to existing customers.

@ithehappy will try it then. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] nsavinash:
Thanks a bunch for this useful info.

One last Q please.

how to lose root also ?

I guess I will have to flash Stock KERNEL through ODIN & wipe cache & Dalvik right ?

DO you have any idea where I can get the Stock Kernel from / Any working link that you can point me to.

Thanks a lot!!

[Galaxy S II General] nsavinash:
:)

Ok Let me try as per your advice.

Can you please point me to the link from where I can download the ROM(v 1.1) & gapps, gapps fixer.

Yes I will follow your steps above to flash it via CWM.

Let me use it for couple of days & decide if I wanna go back or now.

Also i observe that I am unable to take screenshot using the volume button, Home & Power key(I dont remember the key combo but something like that)

And also I dont like the black theme of the current ROM. Is there a way to theme it our way.

Thanks

There is one more way. Go to settings - developer options - scroll down and set the window animation scale to. 5x

@bala yup its yet to be released. Hope it will be as good as it was in GB.

Edit: I was downloading blood and glory from market and it looks like devs have started to implement the extra 4GB space Google had to offer. You will be downloading the whole apk + data from play store itself.

Battery Life Improved

Hi guys,

Am a new members here...:)

Just wanted to share something...maybe its an old news for many... but still.

I rooted the phone and flashed CheckRom Revo HD V6 and Siyah 2.6.13 . Installed Voltage control and applied the settings as shown in the attachment.

My battery life has improved a lot. The performance is good too :)

The Screen On time is approximately 2.5 hrs and 25% juice still left!

I use 3G, sync Gmail, facebook, whatsapp, a little bit of browsing, a little music, a little gaming (very little) just normal stuff.

Hows that! :D

Cheers!

CM7.1 Screw Up

Thanks for that! I tried to recreate the scenario that I initially go into. I mean, flashing CM7.1 from CM9 lead to boot loop screwing up "USB functionality"!

So my phone is currently on XXLPQ ICS. Last night I flashed the phone with XWKI3 2.3.6 and flashed again with CF-Root Kernel with ClockWork for the same Firmware release. I got CM7.1 already on my phone. So I went into ClockWorkMod and flashed CM7.1. No errors returned and it said flashing completed successfully. I did wipe System, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Data and performed Factory Data Reset before that. Rebooted the phone and got into same "boot loop" with which all these problems started.

I can neither get into Recovery nor into CM7.1 OS. The only thing that works is Download Mode or else I see Battery Charging screen. Lucky for me though, this time phone is detected in Odin. I tried flashing CF-Root Kernel again and went to recovery, repeated the wiping steps and flashed CM7.1. Even this time, no error returned and all is just well! Rebooted.. Same boot loop again. No Recovery, No OS but only Battery Charging and Download mode.

With that.. I'm pretty sure that CM7.1 has got something to do with my phone's erratic behavior. Which I now seem to be not able to get it back!

CM9 flashing works.. Cuz the last time I tried it went fine. Gingerbread ROM flashing works! Stock ICS works.. Cuz that is what I was on lately with that erratic USB functions.

Now.. You mentioned that I could use Kernel Clearing Script or something.. Can you point me how to the resources that provide info abt how I can do that.

Cheers,

A.
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
Download latest CM7, and perform these steps and see if it works

1) Go to CWM.

2) Format /system.

3) Wipe data/factory reset.

4) Wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

5) Install CM7 using the newly downloaded zip.

6) Install CM7 again(Old recoveries have issues sometimes and need 2 flashes).

7) Reboot.

If you still get bootloops, try flashing Siyah 2.6.13 kernel and see if it boots.

EDIT : You can get the latest CM7.2 RC here

@Virani_joush and @emze : Thanks for clarifying. I knew there was a catch somewhere! Was surprised because the price was mentioned on the apple website and didn't mention any carrier's name. Just found out from other sources that an iphone 4S 16GB would cost around $600 without contract. But the good news is that even this new iPhone 4S cannot match the specs of S II yet! Samsung Galaxy S II is still the king of smart phones in the world.

Now if only they would upgrade the Android OS and Firmware in India soon! The wait has been endless! Request you all to bombard the Samsung Mobile ids on Twitter with upgrade requests, only then will they wake up! Their ids on twitter are : @Samsung_India and @SamsungMobile

[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
I hope they don't rush out to release SGS3 after Nexus Prime. Firmware updates for SGS2 are slow as it is and if they keep releasing new flagship phones quickly I don't think they will support any phone for 18 months (or maybe release 1 update in 18 months).

In any case it looks like ICS will release before we even get the next 2.3.x update here in India.

Damn the Samsung Management! No firmware updates for India?

Absolutely agree with all of you above. Samsung Management (specially in India) are just pathetic. They are just not replying to any FW update query on either Twitter or Facebook or even by direct email.

I think maybe we should give up on Kies update and rely only on Odin/XDA Developers for the latest leaked releases. When is Ice Cream Sandwich expected to release? Will it be compatible with our SGS II?

Till last week my SGS2 was picking up correct Mobile Operator and now it is showing two lines in operator notification area

I'm using Vodafone but in Notification it is showing Airtel on first line and Vodafone IN in second line.

I'm using XXKI3 Official European ROM.

Can anone help me in resolving the issue.

This is may be because you may be on intra circle roaming on airtel for 3g, even though its a Vodafone home network

[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
What you mean by custom ROM ? If you want to theme it your way take any de-odexed ROM as your target, most of the theming is done by modifying pngs inside framework-res.apk.

If you want to remove apps, delete apk's from the target ROM. If you want to install some apps by default, add the relevant apk's.

You might also want to learn edify scripting which will help in creating CWM .zip file

I'll say start with theming as it's easy, figure out what those png's mean. What part of UI changes on changing which png etc and then go into advanced modding
