Is there any way to implement bootanimation on the Slim KI8 rom?

Does it work with Speedmod K2?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Metalkill:
Hi peeps..

nice rom.. Any other having problem with 3G at Telenor with KI8?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
It works with Lulz kernel, add the boot anim as sanim.zip to the system/media
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
No prob...I have kahvitahras mod running anyway.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Joseiyo:
Sorry for the question, but, what does it mean exactly SLIM KI8? 2 days ago a made a KI8 rom with this creator. Is there have been any improvement?

And other thing, I selected the chainfire 4.3 Kernel and my battery indicator decreases by 5 to 5; there is NOT an excesive battery drain, just it goes that way.

Anyone else?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
SLIM KI8 - Tricky optimised and tweaked the stock rom to make the file structure smaller in size thus leaving free space on the system partition allowing apps to run faster.... Then it has been slimmed down by removing apps and files that are not alway needed from stock (eg maps, gmail, iplayer) as they can be dowbloaded from the market....

Hope that helps
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Joseiyo:
Thanks!!, then if I made my KI8 rom 2 days ago, should I upgrade o the SLIM optimization is for KI3 version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Optimized_KI8-slim.zip is 183,268MB

XWKI8_Slim_b2.zip is 168,995MB

KI8_dex-v7-23-49-10-10-10-nuHpWyGCI2.zip I made in kitchen is 192,248MB

I am using the KI8-slim and I don't really see any difference in the performance between the ROM's.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
No Is ur answer. The kitchen ki8 is the fully optimized version..just stripped so u can pick ur own choices..its not slim...but if u remove the Samsung bloatware its very fast. I don't think this Rom needs to be slimmed .

**Sent from my Galaxy SII using XDA app & Rom Kitchen Ki8 by Tricky103**
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Agreed. Optimized KI8 with speedmod k2-1 is fast. Im testing slim b2 but not much difference tbh.

IMO If you use samsung stuff go optimized, if not use slim b2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Seems like there is general agreement about the KI8 versions.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes but u lose a lot of the "tools" if u pick the slim version eg. Fm radio, calculator etc. I like to have them. That's why I won't flash the slim.

**Sent from my Galaxy SII using Rom Kitchen Ki8 by Tricky103**
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Ive tried all 3 versions now - optimized, slim and slim_b2 all on speedmod k2 and while both slims are good, there is very minimal between them and stock optimized. It all depends if you need/use the apps in stock....

Im not a fan of quadrant scores but i got beat on optimized with stock kernal, but i prefer to test in real use and the quality of slim_b2 with speedmod k2-1, spare parts+ optimization is just unreal. Not had a single problem!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Just a figures for you all.

Ki3 and ki8 has had over 5000 generations.

Now all I need is a $ a rom.

IMO the full optimized Rom doesn't differ much in speed to the slim rom. Made a big difference on the sgs. These phones handle bloat much better. It is up to the user if they like samsung apps or 3rd party.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
That reminds me tricky, i forgot to send donation! Ill sort it tuesday bud. Definatly owe you a few beers!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:

Is anyone here having an issue with deep sleep, I'm on ki8 slim u2 and quite often the phone wont go into deep sleep. I'm using betterbattery apple but its not showing anything unusual. I've tried different kernels but still the same. I may need to do a full wipe and try again. If bayonet has a solution please let me know.

Great rom though, really fast andstable. Really happy with it. Good to see peoplestill like the stock look. Showsyou don't need oc or uv, or a whole lot of unnecessary tweaks to give a fast stable Rom.

Fyi, the deep sleep issue is probably an app issue but I thought I'd just check.

Cheers again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I've no prob with deep sleep here

**Sent from my Galaxy SII using XDA app**
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Me neither.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
Cheers guys. I'll check out some of myapps and see which one is at fault. Might be Skype, even though I never use it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
My tapatalk app was playing up and not allowing deep sleep the other day. But now I have found r-type and I am draining my battery faster than ever.

I thought it would be a good idea to flash the full rom back on my phone .. I should have backed up the slim 1st.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I am sure Laila would have backed up the slim.

:D​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
Ive frozen skype and i havent had any issues so far, i also stopped the weather app of spb shell updating, so it could be that to. By the way, spb shell is super smooth on this rom, still super expensive to by though, haha.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Skype is a known big drainer on our phones. Apparently it keeps ports open and constantly receives packets of data.

Skype installed and running = huge drain.

Skype installed but not running = high drain.

Skype removed = normal drain.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bungknees:
I've had it frozen for the day and everything is fine now. Thanks for everyone's input, once again really good rom.

The only problem is now I'm actually trying to drain thebattery down to do a full charge and its taking fricken ages, I might reinstall Skype. Haha.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Just noticed I've no vibration while receiving sms in silent mode. I def have it turned on. I'm using gosms pro but I also have it in stock sms app. Not sure if its Rom or kernel related. I'm using speedmod k2-1.

Can anybody confirm?

Edit...it is there but is very weak.

**Sent from my Galaxy SII using XDA app**
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Confirmed Kenny, using Handcent.

Speedmod Kernel k2-k2.

Mine didn't seem to vibrate at all.

Sent message from SGSI to SGSII.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Hmmm..... Maybe Tricky could have a look in the Rom if he gets a chance.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dneill2006:
Just tested this myself and vibrate worked fine.

I'm using stock SMS app though so that could be why.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Thanks for the info.

Uninstalled Handcent and used stock.

Vibrate worked. So it appears to be the apps for some reason.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tatltael:
Hi guys I have a question. Do i need to update to KI3/8 via odin before i flash the cooked rom. The instructions post says to flash stock KH3 so I just wanted to confirm what exactly to do.

Also I'm not sure which csc or modem to choose when making the rom. How would that choice affect the phone?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dneill2006:
I've tried both Handcent and Go SMS before, inside the apps there is notification settings for sound, vibrate etc.

Perhaps you didn't have vibrate turned on in the app iteslf?

Just an idea :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Your right. Reinstalled Handcent.

Went to settings in Handcent and set it to vibrate.

Vibrate worked.

:o​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Updated to speedmod k2-2.... Ahead of a night shift to test :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dneill2006:
Great, glad it worked ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I tried stock too though and it was the same. But I didn't un install gosms pro.

I have vibrate enabled in gosms pro and system it IS set to vibrate on silent mode.

It appears to work in my hand but it IS weak. Can't feel it in my pocket at all.

**Sent from my Galaxy SII using XDA app**
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Morning all. Tested vibrate on stock it worked great. It buzzed loudly on my desk.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kimitza:
Morning tricky. I'm very happy with ki4 slim.maybe you should look more into this project. An ultra lite rom is always welcomed
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Cheers dude ;)

**EDIT** .. Ok I've done a bit of troubleshooting on this vibration issue of mine. I've heard of quite a few peeps with the same problem on other threads.

*When vibration was set to "always on" it always worked as psychologically I felt it when I heard the phone ringing..

*When I had it set to silent mode it didn't appears to work cause I had it in my pocket in work and missed lots of calls/texts.

*Whether I used stock sms or gosms pro it was the same.

I narrowed the problem down to the cover on my phone. When cover was on, it barely buzzed on the table. When I took it off it buzzed louder and stronger. Strange eh?

BTW ... I'm using the genuine Samsung mesh type cover which doesn't have a whole lot of protection or absorption properties.

A new one for yous all ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Thanks for the update, Kenny.

Glad you got it sorted out.

Aaaarrgghhhh xxki4 is out on samfirmware (build date 27 Sept) & bokj2 just released in the Netherlands.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hiisi:
Question:

Why is there no KI4 modem in the Kitchen?

Stock KI8 comes with KI4 Phone (Modem) KI2 CSC and KI8 (PDA) .. I only see KI1 and KI3 .. Just wondering if there is a bug in the KI4 since it's not there :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
tried xxki4 stock kenny..... and back on optimized ki8 :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Is it not greAt? Reports are that its smoother and more stable than ki8.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
What am I missing? I haven't had time to keep up with updates this week so far
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
News only just out today Tricky. Two new roms. Xxki4 & bokj2.

I was wondering if the next rom would be KJ.

Ki4 is a Kies test Rom due for release the next few days....seems to be similar if not the same as ki3 and ki8. Dunno bout kj2.

And oh.. Welcome back. Hope ur feeling better ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Yeah I am feeling better thank you.

I have been real slow at work though so I am real busy trying to get some money in to pay the wages. Sony TV's have had a product recall so we have had about 100 jobs from Sony. Nice easy money though. That is my job tomorrow, making sure we get paid for them all.

I will have to wait until we get some reports on new roms for a week or 2 as I won't have time to make a new kitchen rom, I guess for the rest of this month. Unless we see ics ofc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I will update kernels etc soon.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Personal life first, Tricky.

Everybody should understand that.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Of course. People will survive on ki3/ki8 I'm sure. Only the bored will moan. I doubt we'll see any decent ics for a while anyway.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
KI8 working just fine.

No need to rush into "new" releases.

;)​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Nope.... Especially when jkay just released his themes for ki8 :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Optimized ki8 > stock ki4 all day long!!

You can find out how good dolphin HD is :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 2dorr:
Thanks Tricky but I like Opera :)

I don't know what you have done to Laila, but the battery it's too good. With that ROM I might convice a friend of mine not to sell SGS II because he hates the battery drain. He has a Nokia N8 that is the best and now he want N9 (he is a Nokia fan).

3. Titanium Backup restored everything i backed up.

4. The first start assistant did not close properly.

5. Flashed Litening Theme.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I have made an executive decision. KJ2 slim rom incoming. Currently compressing all of the files. I will check it later :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] armanderli:
Nice decision 'cause I find it to be quite good...usin' it right now and better than XX4 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dneill2006:
Is KJ2 not for the I9103?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] armanderli:
I9100BOKJ2_I9100TNLKJ2 Online! (Android 2.3.5)

It's for T-mobile netherland and was made in October 2011
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tipu2185:
What is the initial feedback? I don't see anyone discussing it. :)

It is carrier branded. I don't understand why this ROM.

Can I ask when will you be doing next fully optimized ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Nice work! Everyones jumped on XXKI4 so i feel you made right choice. Is this unbranded or carrier firmware? I usually look for the xx/xw roms
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
the problem with this KJ2 rom is to find a battery mod or jkay theme.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Its about supply and demand - if theres a rom there people will ask.... Eventually mods will come :-)

You cant rush perfection.....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I don't really intend for this to take over ki8. Ki8 feels really good. I think I will be keeping the rom as a backup.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Im of this opinion too tricky. I tried xxki4 and reverted back to ki8 optimized. Feels the most stable to me :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I'm guessing its a branded carrier Rom since its BOKJ2 and not xw or xx .

Will u be doing a full optimized Rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
KI8 is running so good, it will take something special for me to flash.

:)​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Yes I saw the post yesterday, I thought that I should take the newer rom as it is dated October.

I checked the PC it is still optimizing so I doubt I will get to do anymore this evening.

Kenny we will see tomorrow night. If I get time the sure I will do a full rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
That is my thinking also
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Haha I said this about ki3 :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I wonder Will Checkrom Revolution ki4 be any good? Bound to be heaps better than stock.

Ps... Speedmod k2-5 released..based on Samsung update 3 sources ! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andr01d3:
Hi!

Thank you very much app Rom Kitchen! ;)

Would you please include the FOP in the CSC codes available to choose?. This code is for Spain unbranded.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Csc are irrelevant tbh. Xeu used to give more in Samsung apps. Not sure if that is still the case
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I have run ROM's without a CSC on several occasions.

Didn't seem to affect anything, as I don't use Samsung apps.

Not even sure if it makes a difference, as Tricky said.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Just tried the ki4, looks like the guys have put a lot of work into it. Feels no better than this ki8 rom. I will go all in on the next rom. I won't be loosing sleep for xxki4.

Back to KI8
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
Good to hear KI8 is still the choice.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Ya I tried out ki4 as well and to be honest I didn't see any performance improvement at all.

I'm back on ki8 too but with k2-5 now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dsmaori:
If I want to change from a different rom is it ok to flash the new slim ki8 rom only or does it need to be done as well as the full rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
i would personally flash a stock KI8 rom 1st, then slim ki8.... make sure you flash the prefered kernal after aswell as slim contains stock....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
You can flash what you like, these roms are non wipe so if you want a clean start then factory reset before the flash.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
KI8 slim has tegrak lulz kernel. That seems a nice kernel tbh. Tegraks kernels are always under rated
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
i tried that, but switched back to speedmod.... just flashed k2-5 before work to test as its from sources....

tricky, what do you use for benchmark tests?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tomdot:
Hi Tricky

Thanks for your hard work.

Can you give you an update if the SNS (Facebook particularily) can be added?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:

Use kix stock , latest cf-root or speedmod k2 series to sort it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kimitza:

Anyway...on the kernel side...damian is getting started on it...so i know what kernel i'll use...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I agree and I felt sorry for u on Leos thread.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Trickys ki8 is a better Rom mate. Trust me we've tried out ki4!!

A full wipe followed by stock Rom followed by hard reset... Then you've got a clean install. No point comparing roms until you've done this.

Ki8 + speedmod k2-6 will be very hard to beat.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Agree kenny. Flashed k2-5 this morning had a full day use and seemed good. 4300 quadrant... Just flashed k2-6 so will see how it improved tomorrow. Fyi i got 12% drain over 14 hours with wifi off, about 2 hours screen on and 3g active all day

Ok 4500+ on k2-6 after 3 runs
