You obviously didn't get my humour .

Your advice is greatly appreciated as I am new to miui.

I pointed towards online themes. I'm pretty sure they're not included in the rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Kitchen is fixed btw, it was a typo somewhere.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shayne77:
Just like I, you probably didn't get my humour either =]

Themes.apk that is included with the ROM either directs you to; your Local Internal Memory/SD CARD or ONLINE as you suggested. *.mtz Are theme files and can be manually placed into "INTERNAL MEMORY"\MIUI\Theme\

(I'll edit my post above as I suggested "SD CARD", it should be the Phones Internal Memory)

how do i enable livewallpaper back in (KI3)(2.3.5) slim version, any help ? Ive been trying to install the livewallpapers.apk, but couldnt.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chareos12:
hi,

noobiest question ever,

is this rom (or the kitchen one) 100% Samsung as per features ?

I realize kitchen is for custom kernels and apps, and the other provided builds are the heavily optimized ones.

I just need to know if any of these ROM (except MIUI ofc) is Samsung as per features, hardware support/drivers/hardware acceleration, etc

I hope my question is clear :-)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
thanks for sharing tricky its AMAZING! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks for the share. Feels nice.

Still prefer Swift key X as it has Croatian prediction, but this feels fast for typing English.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Cheers bud but I think nothing beats Swiftkey X for it's prediction, just love it for that. It basically predicts what I'd want to type and just works beautifully.

Going to try this out and see how it fares.

I find smart keyboard pro very good.

On a more exciting note...take a look at this

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Galaxy S III looks like a winner.

:D​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
my next phone will be a quad core, i have until august for this contract, i will be real happy with official Ics, it will be like a new phone. Spec between the sgs2 and the gn is not massive, the gs3 better be a quad, or i will be waiting for the gs4.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
IMO gs2 is a overkill no need to upgrade anytime soon :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Ya I've until June on mine. We should have an S3 by then. Hopefully a quad. Or there's always the iphone 5 lol :D

The gN is just a bigger S2 really. It doesn't excite me in the least.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
It would be purely to have a new toy !! ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
Hehehe well i have to agree on that

:p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Us boyz get bored very easily :D :D :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Yes, I know I do.

That is why I am playing with the Kindle Fire.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Amokbunny:
Hehe, couldn't resist and give MIUI (and vanilla CM) a try.

Nice features, granted, but nothing really special. And quit e lot of bolatware, too :p

Plus the CM Camera/Video issues...pics are just crap., especially if I take them from the bike or in a club for example.

So I'm back to Samsung Mod ROMs, for me its the better experience - the manga-comic-iphone style was quite annoying in the end ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marvinhemstock:

I have tried a lot of different ROM's since I have had my SGS S I and II.

I always end up back on a Custom Samsung ROM.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Yes I think I will return also. Stock roms just work. Although i love my miui set up.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Then why change? Lol :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
A few reasons, mainly is calling people i have to select Bluetooth every time,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
You reckon you'll go back to the KI8 rom or something different?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Yeah ki8, maybe the slim.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
Can't get any better :)

Auto screen brightness Gmail sync on, and wifi / Bluetooth on whole time
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Huh? I don't understand
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Tricky, your ROM's are great,

and better than all of the ASOP or other based ROM's, I have tried.

Now if you can get Laila back to work, we would have

a ROM to end all ROM's.

IMOP

:D

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Not sure about anybody else but I'm finding miui a bit unstable. maybe its just v18.

I've had a few soft reboots today and I've just noticed I'm missing.a few system apps that I didn't remove.. ie fm radio, dsp manager etc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
hey, can anyone tell me what's exactly in the slim version of KI8?

i mean does it have swype? how about functionality wise? same functions as the full rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Best way to see what apps have been removed is to download ki8 full and ki8 slim. Open both zips and compare the /system/app folder.

If the slim is missing anything you might use, you could use the full rom or remove Samsung bloatware before flashing.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] can7:
im using the full k18 but i wonder is the slim k18 much better on battery life ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
thanks kenny!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Depends what you use, social hub/im drains battery, but then i use trillion on the slim and that does too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
hey tkalli.

Do you have any requests ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I am getting soft reboots also. I am currently running miui.us as i thought i would try others out.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
No requests for now.

I have used both KI8 and KJ3 and both are great for me.

Everything works just fine, they are fast and stable.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
@Tricky... does ur phone connect to ur pc on miui ? I can't get mine to connect at all
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I know you didn't ask me, but mine does/did with siyah. Back on slim ki8 for me anyways, with handcent sms, maxthon browser and few tweaks feels nice.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yeah I'm trying to flash back to Sammy. I know I could use mobile odin but I want to back up my as card first.

Its not being recognised on any of my two pcs .

I can't find the connect to pc settings like sammy. Im not sure whether to wipe and reflash miui ir wipe and flash kitchen rom or just restore a back up from cwm.

Did u do anything special mate or was it recognized when u plugged it in?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
No, nothing special. Did you try unticking/ticking back usb debugging?

Just to be sure I am talking about internal ass :p card.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
yeah i did mate.I reflashed trickys version of miui from my sd card and everything works fine now again. I think ill head back to Sammy now as as nice as Miui is, im experiencing a lot of glitches with it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Try handcent sms, nice sms notifications similar to miui ones. I got scared to **** when I saw black screen on my slimki8 and only after few seconds I remembered Tricky removed boot animation, damn :D.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Nice, I surprise myself sometimes :D Here I come Ki8
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I use GoSms all the time anyway regardless of my rom, along with GoLauncher.;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Where exactly black wallpaper, tried to unpack framework-res, but default wallpaper in there is ICS one. I installed jkay 13.1 so it override black one :(.

Thanks. Great edition, you may try it with void kernel for a change although I am Siyah addict :p.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Anyone got that ICS keyboard handy?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
http://www.android-advice.com/file-downloads/icskeyboard.apk

Didn't test that one.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roni2915:
How do I install the Kitchen app.

Say Im coming from Hyper Androidmeda ROM which is KI4!

I want to use this, im not sure what i need to do..

Maybe install KI8 or KI4 using the first post and then what?

Help me out thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Wrong thread or wrong question :p.. If you mean create your own rom, read the second post and head to romkitchen.org :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roni2915:
Sorry about that,

What is this thread about then?

Adding the Kitchen app to your ROM already on the device?

Im really getting confused.

I loaded the FULL KI8 last week and it gave me good battery life. And I went to Androidmeda and it was slightly bad compared to KI8...

So i just want to go back, So im wondering whats the kitchen part? LOL

SOrry, please help me out here!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
If you go to romkitchen.org you can pre-customize rom according to your needs and then download it, or use one of the premade ones from Tricky - post 5.

Kitchen app is Checkroms app that allows you to install things in easier way, but it works only with their rom.

KI8 is great base. You can install fully optimized rom from post 5 and freeze apps you don't need using titanium.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
You can just install from CWM, no need for odin flashing the bootloaders etc..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roni2915:
Oh ok, Got it!!

Can anyone tell me their custom ROM additions/deletions to get the best battery life? Maybe which kernel to use, KI3 or KI8, etc etc.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I am using Tricky slim ki8 which suits my needs best, but lot of apps are missing. Depends what you need. I basically need:

Maxthon browser

Yahoo mail

Swiftkey X

Trillian

XDA app

Little Photo

And I am all set.

Re kernel, if you want to keep it simple use speedmod, customized use Siyah, experimental use void.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roni2915:
Cool!! Thanks.. Will try it out..

And would you recommend calibrating the battery every time I install something new? Say for instance I installed KI8 by generating it from the kitchen, Do I need to calibrate my battery? Ofcourse I will wipe the device to factory settings before I install anything! :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
No need to calibrate the battery on sgsii. You can make the love between chip and battery by pulling it out from your phone for at least 90seconds when it is fully charged + 15 minutes, but only if you see some strange drops in battery monitor is when is really needed to do that.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roni2915:
Yes, that definitely helps :)

So no more battery calibrating after every ROM! I asked because I used to do that! :)

Thank You!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Trying void .charlie kernel.

Seems very nice. So far, so good.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roni2915:
What about stock KI8 kernel, Can I install ClockworkMod on any kernel I decide to use? :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Chainfires cf-root ki8 is what you are looking for. Same as stock, but rooted with cwm.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roni2915:
AWESOME! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joaobarroso:
@TRICKY and TKALI

I like speedmod kernel but i test void.charlie kernel and it is really nice for the moment.

Tricky, you have to test this one.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Yes, it is very nice.

Will have to see how the battery holds up.

If the battery life is good, it can be a keeper.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Back on kj3 for now. Not sure i like the ICS keyboard :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Conservative or lionsheart is not very friendly when using your phone a lot, but keep us informed, please :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marvinhemstock:
nice just flashed old kf3 backup and feels just as quick as ji8 :confused:

and feels so smooth and nice
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I have been happy with KJ3.

:)​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
For those running void Charlie id be careful... Filesync has been disabled and that could cause some data loss.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
that's why i said it's experimental :).

anyhow, gokhan is moving up to 3.1 branch after siyah 2.2 is final with some other nice things so i am looking forward.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I like Siyah these days. Its come a long way.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marvinhemstock:
lol i like what ever works :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] roni2915:
Does Modem effect battery life? or is it purely carrier related (Signal/Reception wise)?

I Made a custom ROM using the ROMKitchen and I have KI8 CSC with CF Root KI8 Kernel but I used KI1 modem.

I was wondering if I should leave that or switch the modem to KI3. Battery life is the main concern!

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Modems used to make a big difference regarding battery life in the SGS but i really don't see a whole lot of difference between the latest modems on S2. They have more of an effect on call signal and call quality along with network data.

I would try a few and see what suits your area of usage best. The last few releases have been ki2 ,ki3, ki4, buki1.

Im using BUKI1 as its a Vodafone modem and im on Vodafone. I find it good balance between call quality and battery life.

I found ki3 slightly better than ki4 on call quality but similar on battery drain.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
No problem with data here, so far.

Will keep a check on it.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Watch out for lag and keep a check on your lost.dir folder tkalli .

I had a lot of this on fugu kernel back in the SGS days.

RomKitchen Guide for Samsung Galaxy SGSII​

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

void .delta wiped(CWM) my external SD card.

Error message that SD Card was damaged.

Not sure what happen as I have flashed many Kernels and ROM's.

Never had this happen before.

I wiped the Cache and Dalvik Cache as I normally do.

Back to speedmod.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yeah somehow i just can't bring myself to flash it.

Although i must admit i had some strange behaviour earlier and lost data on Siyah which is very unusual. Reflashed my Rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
void.charlie was fine.

Checked Lost Dir and nothing there.

Flashed void.delta and external card was wiped.

:confused:

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
probably unrelated, but i hate cwm recovery zips, you can put anything there in sceipt like format sdcard or format efs and bam.. bam bam..

just take out zimage from zip and flash using mobile odin or cwm app.

just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Good point ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Yes, good point.​

Hey Guys,

I installed KI1 modem with using the KI8 base and Im not getting good battery life... But when i installed the (KI8)(2.3.5) Full Rom Posted in this thread, I was getting great battery life but the only concern is that it didn't have CWM!

Any way I could install CWM onto that ROM? I did install ROM manager and tried flashing but it never installed. (Even though it said CWM is installed)

It never took me to CWM recovery mode!

Help me out here :) Thx :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jazzk:
Dear lord what did you do to MIUI?? My battery life is outstanding on your version!

I don't know if it's removal of some of the apps, your apk png optimisation or whatever else you've done but I hope you continue MIUI development.

Question: What base ROM did you use - did you start with the miuiandroid.com or GalnetMIUI ROM? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
It was just miuiandroid in 1.11.18,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Just so you know. BOKK1 is uploading. Full rom only ATM.

Eta 25 minutes

Not yet tested
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Edit.

I left everything out like superuser, busybox, zipalign script ......

I don't want to upload any old Friday afternoon rom for you,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
What advantage will this have Tricky ?

This is the Japanese rom from Sam firmware right?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dadme:
MIUI ROM 1.11.25 is ready. Any chance to make a slim version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Have a good weekend y'all....... lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Just an update .

BOKK1 is a t-mobile Rom, running the full version deodexed now , seems good, I may upload if I can get to my PC.

I have Galnet Miui 2.11.26 downloaded but not flashed or optimised, I may get time tomorrow but I am spending lots of time getting Ubuntu working for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dadme:
Give a try to Linux Mint 12 "Lisa", better then Ubuntu ( and use eveinstaller, after) :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morphjk:
I agree. Linux Mint is better than Ubuntu.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I hear the name mentioned a lot, I still check it out. I have windows recovery discs sent to me but I am reluctant to use them.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jibreil:
Does the Call Recording option and Video Calling work on MIUI ROMs?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morphjk:
I still use windows 7 as well but when I started with Linux I used Linux Mint now I use Arch Linux but that has more of a learning curve
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dadme:
Sorry, i know that is offtopic but forget recovery discs. Download Windows 7 ISO directly from its servers online, install using your key and let windows update to do the rest (or get remaining drivers fromm laptop producer online support). That is the best way to deal with windows laptops. Install ubuntu or mint with wubi or in other partition if you know how to do this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I tried that but Sony didn't seem to provide all drivers, I also wanted to make the change, modding the firmwares is so much easier,
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Main advantage is Samsung apps, so I could download need for speed. It is rubbish. Austin likes it though.

The ROM is okay though, I am looking at adding tweaks etc
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marvinhemstock:
+1 to keep thread running lol :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Alrighty then.... :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
OK. It is pretty quiet here.

I will be out of the country until December 15, so may not be around much.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Have a good trip ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Have a good trip tkalli..

I have a feeling it will remain quiet around here until ICS release.

KI8 is just as good as any roms released up to date..

I will update with a 2.3.6 once a european release is out..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I recovered the PC back to stock Win 7 professional and installed Mint 12 also, seems nice, looks similar to ubuntu, I prefer the gnome layout for sure.. I will be playing around for the next few days.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] morphjk:
I'm sure you will prefer mint. It will feel similar to Ubuntu but has improvements to it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Thanks.
