Hello everyone.

I have just updated my Tweaker again.

After some testing I have found that using the official NTT Modem on rom's for which it was not intended is not helpful.

So you should use the modem that matches(was shipped with) the rom you are using.

So the modem is now not included. Also I have included SP-mode mail with push for ICS and both JellyBean versions.

I am uploading it to Google Drive now. It should eb available in an hour or so.

So in future, all you need to do is install the rom of your choice and the tweaker and everything will work.

The latest JellyBean XWLSN is very nice. You can try Neat Rom or WanamLite Rom to get it easily.

Enjoy.

Dear Simmo,

Did you ever having a keyboard halt and requiring hard boot? I always suffer keyboard during keyboard halt. After rebooting the system, at least 20% battery lost make me so annoying.

Thanks for your tweaks and reflash the system now :laugh:

i installed a new ICS rom today.

Reboot the phone then it stuck at the syrial kenrla logo.

Then get into recovery again, but could not install any other rom. Installation stuck in the middle.

Now I can get into recovery, but cannot install any rom and cannot start my phone...

Any suggestion??
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Sounds like the kernel either didn't install correctly or was incompatible. Download Siyah Kernel (.tar file) and use Odin to reflash your kernel.

After that you should be back in business. Boot to recovery, wipe everything, and install a new rom.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] wendac:
no it did not work....now have to try odin and flash the original firmwares of sc02c
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Out of curiosity, what version of Siyah are you trying to flash?

If I get the docomo SGS II can I put whatever ROMs on the phone that are available for vanilla USA SGS II?

You can definitely install many of the other roms, but there are a few issues like GPS and compass that need some extra tweaking. If you provide a little more information as to what you would want to install then I would be able to offer more help.

[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Yeah. I am using the KBC build of CM10.1. Working GPS, compass, SP mail and pretty good performance. So far I have encountered no trouble with the most recent build.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Yes.:thumbup:

This is the first full charge, so I'll let you know about battery life in a day or two. Everything works so far.:thumbup:

I never use the TV btw.:rolleyes:

Edit:
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
As far as I know, no one has ever gotten oneseg working with anything but the stock kernel. If you just install stock and then go though the steps to root it that should work, but I havn't done anything like that since a couple years ago when I first got the phone.

I believe this thread will be of some help. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

So far I have stuck with KBC's CM10.1. How is AOKP treating you for far?

Is the performance OK? Any problems?
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
The performance is great so far! Absolutely no problems whatsoever at the moment. Everything seems to be working.

As of now, I have tried the phone, still cam, video cam, wi-fi, maps (GPS), Data (Play store, browser etc.), Google Now works well. The compass IS inverted, so you need to flash the "compass fix".

When I opened Maps to check the GPS, I think I blinked and then BOOM! Instant lock. :D

HDR is kind of hit and miss at the moment, but I haven't finished "tweaking" the settings yet either.

From my experience, the ROM still needs a day or two to "settle". But so far, "fluid, snappy". (Still testing, so .....):rolleyes:

Let you know how the rom settles if your interested.

Edit: Bluetooth works.:thumbup:

Edit: Getting just over 13.3% battery drain per hour of screen on. At this rate, should get around 7 - 7.5 hrs screen on. :eek:

Any build.prop or assert hacking required to get KBC 10.1 operational or is it just install sakuramilk 4.2 kernel, boot into recovery, flash cm, flash gapps?
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
To get KBC CM10.1 just download the most recent nightly from https://github.com/kbc-developers/release/wiki/sc02c (currently 20130329).

- Wipe everything

- install KBC CM10.1 zip

- install Gapps

- reboot

everything works out of the box.

If you use just the kernel then you would flash the CM10.1 or AOKP based rom first, then flash the KBC kernel and then flash the compass fix. E43JAP tested this with AOKP and says that it works very well.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:

[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I'm not sure if it is due to Docomo, recent solar activity or what but with KBC CM10.1 I seem to have pretty spotty reception with the SC02COMLPL radio that is included, does anyone else see that?

Also I have noticed that with the alarm if I have vibrate enabled the normal ring tone for the alarm will not ring.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Could you explain a bit more on the "spotty reception"? And I will check the alarm on the AOKP ROM with the KBC kernel.

NTT DoCoMo SC-02C

AOKP Build 6 : KBC 20130405
[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
Hmm... that's strange. I am also on the OMLPL modem and while I have noticed that the number of bars does not seem to be as high as stock, I just figured that was due to a difference in how CM and stock interprets signal strength. I have never noticed any real problems with phone reception and my internet speed has always been fast.

Also, the KBC CM10.1 zip doesn't include a modem so it should still be using whatever you already had.

As for the alarm problems, can you give me a little more info. I use my phone as my primary alarm clock and I always have vibrate on and it seems to work fine.
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Alarm works OK on the AOKP ROM also.

NTT DoCoMo SC-02C

AOKP Build 6 : KBC 20130405
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Then it might just be how the bars are interpreted then. I have seen it go from full bars to almost none pretty quickly depending on where I am.

I will need to do more testing with the alarm I had just noticed that after I turned on the vibrate function it was only vibrating which was enough to wake me up. I set my weekend alarm to be just audio so we will see how that goes.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I think I will need a new kernel first because I have hacked recovery asserts (to i9100).
[Galaxy S II General] E43JAP:
Yes, I think this might be the case. My signal indicator is wacky at times, but I haven't had any real problems.

If you happen to catch the DoCoMo signal at a "bad-time", just toggle the data off, wait about 5-10 seconds, toggle data back on and you should have "high speed" back.

Works for me 99% of the time.

If you aren't using a Xi device, DoCoMo has the Foma signal "throttled" to just above the minimum they advertise, so you might be lucky to get above 4.5-5Mb down and above 1-2Mb up from my experiences.

I did a "side-by-side" test with the SII (SC-02C) and the SIII (SC-06D).

I averaged about 3.5M/0.5M d/u with the SII and 28.5M/11.5M d/u with the SIII.

Just so you know how DoCoMo "is".

If you have very fine soldering skills you could probably de-solder it. Seems like butchery but I used some small strong pliers snips and lots of care! Just snip the legs the usb port connects to the board with. Once removed you can de-solder the remaining stumps and suck/poke them out. Attaching the new one is straight forward.

[Galaxy S II General] robotsapiens:
Some questions just to make sure:

When you plug your cellphone in odin is it in Download mode?

In Odin are you marking only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time?

I dont remember which file is this zImage, but I believe that what you have to flash is the TAR file, without extracting what is inside of it (probably the zimage you talked about). Click in PDA and choose the file CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KF2-v4.0-CWM4.TAR, for example.

[Galaxy S II General] susteki:
What kind of battery life are you guys seeing using this kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] benjp2k1:
I went through that exact tutorial.

Start Odin, add the tar file under PDA, only keep the auto reboot and f. reset checked, nothing else. Phone in download mode before plugging in. Odin sees the phone, etc. Click start. It starts flashing, but in the box it gets to the zImage and stops there. (I never extracted the tar ball itself, just the container it was downloaded in)

It bugs me because I can usually do this stuff no problem (IT guy [programmer] that's done Wiis, Xbox 360s, PSPs, iPhones, etc. all before). I am either missing a step somewhere, or there is some issue with my usb controller. I guess I should try and get the kies drivers installed on my netbook and see if that works.
[Galaxy S II General] JinJapan:
Did you make sure KIES isn't running at the same time as ODIN? I remember reading somewhere that if KIES (the program) is running then it will block ODIN. Just something else to check.
[Galaxy S II General] robotsapiens:
You didnt install Kies 2? You need it for the drivers from SGS2. And what JinJapan said is true... There was something on the manual talking about Kies.

I believe we install Kies 2 only for the drivers, so if it has any kind of "auto-start when phone is connected" function, deactivate it. Or you can also manually close it.

I believe SC-02C is the KF2 kernel... are you using the right one?
[Galaxy S II General] benjp2k1:
I have Kies 2.0.1.11053_99 installed, but not running while Odin is running. I close it manually.
[Galaxy S II General] benjp2k1:
Alright, it was the pc. Just rooted using my netbook. Thanks for the help guys.

sc-02c GPS and Battery Drain

Hello everyone, greetings from Osaka. First of all great job on all the info in this thread. I just wanted to share my experience with everyone. So here goes:

I flashed the stuff from KBC Developers

[Kernel] Android 4.2.x Jellybeans for AOSP ROM by sakuramilk [Nightly] 20130506

[ROM] CyanogenMod10.1 JP Remix for SC-02C

then some gapps (don't remember which one).

The phone works fine but GPS doesn't work and the battery is drained very quickly (doesn't go into deep sleep as ri529 comments on his blog)

I really like the 10.1 look but the lack of GPS and the fact that the battery is drained so fast is a no-go for me. Any advice on how to deal with these issues? (I'd be willing to flash some other kernel to test). Also I keep seeing talk about "radio". What is that? Do I need to flash a different radio or something? If yes where should I get it?

Many thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S II General] watsonmf:
To add to what E43JAP said, if you are happy with just simple CM10.1 you can use the KBC CM10.1 JP Remix. However, if you use KBC's CM10.1 you do not need to flash KBC's kernel on top of it (this is probably what is causing your compass problems). Here are the steps to get it working:

- Wipe everything (/system, /data, /cache, and dalvik cache)

- Install CM10.1 JP Remix (20130505 nightly works great for me)

- Install gapps 20130301 (also found on KBC developer page)

- reboot

From my testing you do not need any compass of GPS fix if you stick with KBC CM10.1.

Also, pay attention to what modem version you are using, I have found that the SC-02c specific modems cause massive battery drain and have a tendency to drop signal when coupled with CM10.1.

I am currently using the I9100XXLS8 modem with KBC CM10.1 20130505 nightly and my battery drops only a couple percent per hour when in standby.

Let me know if you have any questions and I can provide a more detailed walkthrough. Good luck!

I don't know how to check that. If there is an app I can run please let me know and I will perform the necessary tests.

What I can tell you is that I get a significantly stronger and faster signal using the I9100 modem. I use my phone's tether as the primary data connection in my apartment, so I average about 50 - 80 GB of data usage per month (which is the main reason why I have not upgraded to LTE). When I was using the SC-02C modem it would lose signal about once a day with heavy downloading via tethering, now it works indefinitely.
