I just baked a ROM in Kitchen. I like the new Touchwiz 4. The browser get FCs, I read about that. Also I wonder what application got me the AllShare icon in Applications? I like the ROM that it's fast, I am used to that from SGS I Kitchen...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aerobahn:
Where are you going to get access to the Kitchen for SGS2?

There isn't a link on the homepage, it just says beta :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
All share is dnla.apk. it shouldn't be included in the base. I will check that. This weekend I will look into the browser. A laggy browser is going to be up to stop fc's

Kitchen is open once kg2 browser is fixed :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 2dorr:
Well beta is the ROM also...

Thanks Tricky for the tip about AllShare...I hate that icon...

Is there a way to see what applications I have chosen for a ROM. I made one yesterday, it was fine, and today 3 ROMS have the same problem, a FC when configuring the Google account, and then a black screen. The good ROM is - KG2_Wipe-v1_21-04-49-22-07-ehtPd5pNcV, the one that it's not working well is - KG2_Wipe-v1_1-11-03-37-23-07-4XGWsJKAKD

I see that the KJ3 ROM is not optimised. if it just means 40 megs more and nothing else I can download it. How is the battery life in the KJ3 ROM ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
KJ3 just released, so don't know.

Assuming it will be OK, especially with speedmod kernel.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Not too much difference between nonopt and opt. Benchmarks are the same, memory usage same.. It just feels 'nicer' when Tricky optimizes it :).

Regarding speed and battery life I think latest kj releases are speediest and most battery life optimized roms so far, but it also depends on kernel & modem. And usage patterns of course.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
Okay cool. Am using siyah kernel and it seems to be decent .I had

Random freezes with the speedmod kernel. Will try kj 3.one question though is how to get the upgraded status bar mod with all 12 controls.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
You mean JKay mod? Just download theme you want frok jkay thread and jkay app, change updater-script to xwkj3 and install from recovery (twice).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Never flashed jkay before but question for you, once flashing jkay are we able to install any theme based on jkay? Like what if they include jkay already within the theme and based on a different base?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MindLock:
siyah kernel versus speedmod kernel and jkay theme yes or no?

*Correction, i mean Jkay mod instead off theme ;)

Hi all,

I have read the last few threads and most off them goes about siyah`s kernel and jkay mod.

Can someone pls explain me the pro`s and con`s between siyah kernel versus speedmod kernel and jkay mod or not?

Pro Siyah:

Voltage control

Pro`s Speedmod kernel:

Fast

Frequent update`s

And jkay mod or not?

Pro`s

Easier to access Recovery mode and Download mode

Looks hot

More buttons in the top bar
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Installed the first time in XWJK3 for me.

:)​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pacc:
Probably this is not the correct thread to post this questions, but it's easy to reply.

Speedmod - Stock speed tweaks with stability.

Siyah - OC/UV with huge boost in benchmarks, but still "living on the edge".

Jkay mod is so essential that I can't live without it, but maybe the only contra is a slight increase of battery drain, but I can live with that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Never tested it, but it should work. But.. Example ZeuBug theme will replace some apks with older ones which may or may not lead to some force closes.

Anyway backup and you should be fine. And we are talking about xwki8 themes. Not sure if xxki4 works.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Excellent, will give it a shot, love ZeuBugs theme but sad to see him go.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Uhm, increase of battery drain? Never happened.

Siyah out of the box is on par with Speedmod. Living on the edge only when pushing it too far.

I will post my settings soon. Every phone is different, but these seem rock solid so far.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
If some app gives you force close you can always take it out of theme zip package before flashing (if clearing data doesn't help).

Also you might need to edit updater-script if zeubugs theme checks for version.

Also vrtheme is interesting concept which may work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pacc:
Well drain increase is next to none, it's really difficult to notice.

I like both Siyah and Speedmod but my impression is that Speedmod is safer, mainly for newbies.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes you are correct. Fast, stable and very efficient.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Not only newbies....

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Both are good in their own regards. Extensively used Speedmod up until K7 then switched to CM7 along with Siyah and been using Siyah since, back onto KJ2 rom using Siyah.

As pointed above speedmod safer for beginners wanting to try something alternative to stock. Siyah is very customizable with frequencies, governors and i/o. Both run well on stock settings without touching anything. What I've read of Speedmod since K7 seems pleasing.

At the moment I'm trying min 25mhz, using a script and UV and GPU UV.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joaobarroso:
So, i'm a inlove noobiew =D.

i love speedmod estability. i only use this kernel, on my SGS II and SGS I
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Same here....​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
I have never used any updater script.will that be inside the

Installer zip?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Yes.

META_INF>com>google>android>updater-script​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks tkalli (Sorry, you are limited to five thanks per day).

@netcitizen as I wrote in another thread:

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Having done both ways, Changing the script is the easiest way to get jkays mod working.I can confirm changing it with workpad doesn't work. It will look fine but it doesn't flash.

Also make sure it is V12.1 you use for ki8.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I guess my setup is stable enough (tested on different roms and kernels for days) and time to share (I was waiting for the right kernel :)):

Trickys XWKJ3 featuring Siyah, JKay & Zeam :D

Thanks to all!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
hey can anyone help me by telling me

how to flash a csc, because i downloaded from intratech's thread but the file ends with md5, doesn't it have to be a .tar file?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
No, thats correct.

Put the csc *.md5 in ODIN under CSC and flash your SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JBL74:
If I flash only csc will it factoryreset my phone?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
No, but if you want to change it, it will.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
you mean if i change my csc, it will factory reset my phone?!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
Yes m8
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
Okay cool. I will try this option.

Also contemplating the option of trying an AOSP ROM to see if there is any considerable increase in battery life. I had tried CM7 earlier but it was no better in terms of battery. And the camera, gallery apps sucked.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

I have tried zeam launcher earlier. but it is too bland and feature less. And I dont see any significant battery improvement to TW and Go. Using Go now. excellent features.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I use "Ultra Edit" and it works fine.

Been using it for years, but pricey$$$.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
:bored: :bored: :bored:

It's all working fine... :o

:cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
Hi guys, im currently using this rom:

http://romkitchen.org/logs-beta/Az5omntv8q.txt

am i able to use the USB jig to remove the yellow triangle?

what do i have to do?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
If you didn't flash any stock rom with new bootloader you should be perfectly fine.

There is tutorial somewhere on this forums, but I believe you connect the jig and enter download mode and counter resets.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
This is correct.

Turn off your phone and pull out the battery for 15 seconds.

2. Replace the battery back and don’t turn the phone on.

3. Plug the jig into the micro USB port on the phone.

4. After about 2 seconds, you can see the yellow download mode logo on the screen.

5. Unplug the module.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
hmm....

when i first got my SGSII,

the only rom i used was Exynos Extreme,

only now am i moving on to KitchenROM....

so am i safe?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
You should be fine, but if you have jig just test it. If it is not working there is old bootloader in Intratech thread.

PS: Thanks tkalli :).. btw. my phone is at 62 and don't care about resetting counter, Samsung can wipe my a** with it :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Only 59 for me.

Using CWM more lately.

:(​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Well now CWM has possibility to flash stock roms and root so it no need for odin at all :).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Haha I reset mine with the jig last week. I was only at about 40 though. I guess I'm the baby here :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Virgin Samsung GSII :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Well.. Not quite virgin but maybe a bit tight :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joaobarroso:
One question,

Are you flashing the stock before the RK rom? or directly over the other? like KJ3 over KJ2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I flash stock first. Tkalli doesn't :p.. Try no wipe first if you get no issues you are good to go :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I just wipe cache and davik cache and flash the ROM.

So far, I haven't had any problems.

If I do, than I will go the Stock route.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I just flashed over this time non wipe. So far so good.

Is it my imagination or are the S2 roms after getting a lot more stable lately?? Especially when compared to the roms we used to have on the .sgs?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
I still believe ki8 was better for battery and smoothness
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
The SGSII ROM's seem to be more stable, IMOP.

I still have my SGSI and am always trying various ROM's.

It could also be the hardware.

​

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Seems about the same to me.

No big improvement as far as I can see.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
The same. KJ series seems smoother to me, but that might be due to me changing kernel and optimizing settings.

Still 25% battery left at almost 9 pm is amazing achievement in my case.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I don't notice much difference from ki8 to be honest. .. On speedmod or siyah . My phone is great on both kernels... its hard to pick one to settle on for now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andresalonika:
I installed slim KI8, i really like it but there's no FM Radio :) Is there any way i can get this apk please?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I pulled the radio out of a Full KI8.

SEE HERE

Not sure if you need any other files.

You can try it and see what happens at your own risk.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hiisi:
Hello

Can someone give me the Swype version on XWKJ3? :)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
You need the lib file as well tkalli
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andresalonika:
yeah i get fc :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dead0:
im finding XWKJ3 more smoother with cfroot kernel even tho the benchmarks are slightly less than BOKJ2. i still haven't topped 6000pts in antutu or over 6800 in cfbench with XWKJ3 yet
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kartalgurhan:
@Tricky103

Again, you make the best ROMs....period!

I dunno what u do but I keep coming back to post #5 and downloading your ROMs and I still (!) become satisfied!

Best regards!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
This one????

libfmradio_jni.so

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andresalonika:
Ok i got it working!!! I took out the lib file from an another custom rom!! THanks a lot guys!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Glad you got it working.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andresalonika:
Tkalli which rom and kernel u usiung??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Rom Kitchen v9.XWKJ3

speedmod s2-k2-17-test1

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andresalonika:
Hows your data connection reacting when u surfing the web? Do u get constant switching between 3g to H+ or does it lock to H+ or H instantly?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I am using a Euro model phone in U.S.

Don't have T-Mobile 3g band which is no biggy as WiFi

readily available in most places.

Anyways, I don't surf the web much with my phone.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shawnaye:
anyone knows why my quadrant standard always show only one core? but my cf-bench shows two.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Don't worry about Quadrant, it is a useless benchmark, IMOP.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dadme:
jkay on kj3! how? can you share?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
First of all it must be deodexed rom (like rom kitchen or similar). It doesn't work on stock/odexed. Tricky just released deodexed kj3.

When you change script be sure not to extract zip, double click on it (winrar) , pull updater-script to desktop, open it with notepad++ (do not use wordpad) change xwki8 to xwkj3, save and pull back to zip.

Go to recovery, first install it will give error 0, but just run it again. All should work now.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lunatik49:
Yop ! How can i install clockworkmod plz to flash and test other kernels ? A last question ^^ ¡ is it possible to choose an other battery icone ¿
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
You need yo do a little reading my friend. ;)

For cwm app install cf root kernel,

To choose another battery go to the uot kitchen or install a theme eg. Jkays and choose one of his. ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lunatik49:
Thx m8 ! I know iam guilty :->

What is uot kitchen ¿ yes uam a newbi ^^`

Update Kernel in RK ROM

hey guys, if i update a kernel in the romkitchen rom do i also have to update the 2 update files in META-INF\com\google\android?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
You just update the kernel by CWM or Odin.

No other action is required.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MindLock:
I know but i want to cook it into the ROM before flashing.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
No you don't have to copy this files. In this folder is for example the update script but you don't need it if you cook your own rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Just replace the zImage, don't touch anything else
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hiisi:
Hello Tricky.

I am still having problem when using Maxthon as default browser.

Here is the log from the Kitchen http://romkitchen.org/logs-beta/tqsakyHu0g.txt

I have tried to wipe all without any luck. Every boot comes with the same error. "com.android.phone"

It is very weird. With the Maxthon build it won't connect me to data (3g/2g) from my carrier, the settings are gone. But on the same setup, but with stock browser the settings are there and it connects.

It's like the phone needs something from the browser to pick up those settings.. That's how it seems not sure if it's true..

Sent from a galaxy far, far away....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Thanks. It worked okay in my test rom. Maxthon app will be updated on the next kitchen update.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andresalonika:
KI8 slim gives me the best battery life!!! The battery indicator doesnt wanna go down!!! :) :) Thats how a rom it should be!! Now i see how heavy a full firmware feels on this handset however its dual core procssor shouldnt have problems like this... Samsung really need to improve its roms rather than increasing the MHz of every new device.. (just sharing my opinion)

P.s It wud be nice to see slim kj2 with aosp theme, crt lockscreen effect and home button fix!! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Just thought id share this for the laugh ... :D

I'm sure TheRealWells has one like this too :D :D :D

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
No...haven't been on the pc in a while. I'm running kj2+ siyah kernel .. Standard cpu freq
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I didn't think it was, based on some of your posts.

Just wanted to make sure.

:)

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I'm trying out siyah at the moment tkalli . Twas a ram cheat added to the kernel for the laugh. It was taken out since. Just goes to prove a lot of the figures out there can be manipulated. He was also trying yo prove specific roms don't really affect quadrant figures much.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
just flashed the KJ3 ROM. if i need the advanced status bar alone what should I do. I do not want to install any theme.

Also if there is already cooked battery mod available for this ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I don't put any faith in Quadrant.

As you said, too easy to manipulate and get high scores.

Best benchmark is what each person feels is fast and stable.

:D​

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TecQuality:
Hey, kitchenrom is a awesome idea, i seen the website, but i haven't found the latest releases, do can we cook by ourself the latest roms?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I knew for ram tweak for some time now and I encouraged gohan to leave it in. Too many people complaining and comparing roms and kernels by solely quadrant. That's bull****. People don't trust the feel of their phone. Speedmod is good stock like kernel. Siyah adds things that may be great for some and **** for others.

Leave Siyah or TWD or speedmod at default and you get almost equal battery life and speed. All are using kernel source update 3 so no suprise here.

The best thing is we have options and freedom to choose. Mix, modify, find what's best and use it.

That's how we got jkay working on kj3, that's how I run now Pongsters MattedBlack Surgeon on kj3.

Thats all the fun. I am personally happy we have Tricky, and both gokhan and hardcore because it gives us options.

IMOP.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Ya the latest roms are in post no.5 by Tricky103. Based on stock roms. Not sure what versions are in the kitchen.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Flash jkays stock theme and use his app to get advanced status bar and any other of his mods .
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Well stated.

:)​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
So true man.

Cf bench is probably the most reliable bench for me to be honest.

But yeah.... Its great to have the choices we have. Trickys roms are still the best in my opinion though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
KI3 v.3 and KI8 v.8 are in the Rom Kitchen.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
any chans we can get optimized kj3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
The jury is still out on whether optimizing makes much noticeable difference. Tricky didn't make one for that reason.

Try the non optimized one and see how you get on.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I am using (v9) (XWKJ3) t1 Not optimized from Post 5.

Works fine.

I was thinking of trying miui, but since MattedBlack came out I am again happy with my phone :). 160 dpi is great, just wish swiftkey x would work properly with it..

Ah well, you can't have it all :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:

Too bad. I tried just about every keyboard and like this one the best.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
I flashed the KJ3 ROM. I like the rooted stock kernel that comes alongside. But i miss the CWM. How to install that separately. Normally all rooted kernels that I used had CWM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Flash cf root kernel or speedmod kernel. Alternatively, replace the zimage in the romkitchen .zip with one from speedmod before flashing.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
okay. So i guess there is no way to simply flash the CWM on the existing kernel.

I tried doing it from ROM Manager and it failed with signature verification error.

Is the CF root kernel same as the stock rooted kernel that comes with this ?

This one was kinda neat as the Yellow boot warning was not there which shows up once a rooted kernel with CWM is flashed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crash_194:
Has anyone else noticed that you can't boot in to clockwork recovery from the clockwork mod app when using kj3? You can still do it using the 3 button combo but when trying to do it from the app it takes you to the default samsung recovery?

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I have no problem booting into recovery and I am using KJ3.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
When i flash mattedblack I got fc on something about ui did you change anything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
You can't flash cwm on stock kernel.

You need to flash a kernel that contains cwm. Cf-root kernel is a rooted stock kernel with cwm.

In other words, if you flash the correct version of cf root, you will have the stock kernel and you will have cwm.

The yellow triangle is easy to get rid of again afterwArds.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I would think you would need to replace the stock framework files with those from matted black.....not flash it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
Ok will try that thanks

try siyah kernel instead ... :)
