[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bristolian:
Check out market for free unlocking Apps. I have seen them and looks as though the unlock codes are stored in some system file that the app apparently reads. I cannot vouch that they work as my sgs was supplied from vodafone unlocked. But worth a try as they are free. What's the worse that could happen?

Yes defo, thats what I had to do.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rom_Kitchen:
Beta Test Bugs

Install procedure (quick)

Flash from CWM.

If on a stock rom you must Factory reset your device before installing the rom.

If updating a kitchen rom, Wipe Cache, wipe dalvik, and format the /system before install.

Install zip from SD

Reboot

They way I do it. BEST WAY

1) Flash Samsung Stock rom

2) Back up everything including the int. SD to my PC.

3) press *2767*3855# it will completely wipe your device.

4) Once phone reboots, place cooked rom and pictures + titanium backup onto the int. SD

5) Flash a custom Kernel

6) Reboot recovery, wipe data, wipe system, Flash Rom.

7) Reboot and restore the DATA only

Happy Flashing.

Known Bugs so far.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rom_Kitchen:
To Do

Add an option not to flash modem or kernels. This will lighten the server load and also speed up downloads.

Add themes.

Hey tricky,

I forgot to mention that running the laila test has been great but in slimming it you pulled out the integrated screen capture function. It's not a frequent use thing but I'd rather not have to install drocap or use qtadb everytime I want a screenshot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
The updater generator will be up for sgs2 and sgs. If you like to use Laila roms.

I will create a zip for you soon with screen capture.

Personally I use adb.

Kitchen KG2 base is now ready for Stefunel to prepare in the kitchen. I would say that soon enough you will be able to test this for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dan@msx:
Awesome stuff! I just flashed stock KG2 this morning but not rooted yet so will do so now to get CWM ready for beta kitchen release.... Gives me a chance to compare to stock release :-)

KG2 now in beta.

Csc and kernel upgraded

Last day of beta. I suggest using a non stock browser for a day or 2.

Enjoy an post bugs here please.

Thanks

thanks buddy. can't wait for kitchen to open for business!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mariotme:
Thanks for the feedback Kenny :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hiisi:
I can't figure out the importance of CSC.

Since language is decided from the PDA version. Then what importance does CSC have?

1. The ROM's from the Kitchen are not branded.

2. APN settings are most likely on the simcard or the carrier will send them to your phone.

Then there is the software part. Android is multi language. So my brain tells me that CSC only have an effect on Samsung software, or am I wrong?

Reason for this question .. Is it possible to make CSC optional in the Kitchen?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I have used ROM's without CSC many times.

CSC is country specific code. It's some app as well as settings for 3G network providers and things like that.

Since I use European phones in the U.S., doesn't do me much good.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MindLock:
O yeah and CF-bench is climbing up after a few tweaks:

CF-Benchmark scores

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MindLock:
Hey guys, is it possible to create a zip file from your whole phone after you installed all your apps and settings?

So the next time you only flash the zip and your phone is clean.

I`m not sure if some apps are generating a unique idea during the installation and verifying it on startup.. if so then it might not work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Press power button and home at the same time. Its quite tricky to get the sync right.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Nandroid backup? Not quite a zip but the same thing.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] FrenchSparda:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] joaobarroso:
just question.

i still on KI8, will RK have a optimize KJ2? i'm waiting for jkay mod to do the jump, if KJ2 is better then KI8.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Afaik its a slightly improved version of kj1 . I doubt it will be much better than ki8 though.

I'm sure Tricky will work his magic on kj2 if enough people want it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MindLock:
I removed alot of aps and sound files that i don`t need
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
it's faster for me, kj1 was on par with ki8, kj2 is faster.. and battery life seems OK. Using it just for a day though..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:

Well maybe it is placebo of higher numbers. Really like it so far.

Based on the posts, not a whole lot.

I haven't tried either and am using KI8.

​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Not a whole lot listed so far except the font slightly different and the power saving widget redesigned.

Swype is also the new version.

BUKJ3 is also on SFW !!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donalgodon:
Isn't the build date newer for KJ2 than for this BUKJ3? (Which is also a branded ROM, is it not? Whereas KJ2 isn't.)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hiisi:
Isn't it branded? If it is then I would prefer the XWKJ2 unbranded :)

I think there might come a new XW soon because the Swype in stock KI8 and J1 are having some issues.

I am still on KI8 from the Kitchen and it is running very good!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
BU=vodafone, so I assume it is branded.​
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yep....BUKJ3 is branded.... sfw have released different versions based on different carriers as far as I know.

KJ2 has a new version of Swype too.

@Tricky.... Any plans for a fully optimized KJ2??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
KJ2 has the new Swype V3.25
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hiisi:
That is the one with the xml popup bug :) KI8 also have 3.25.

From 3.26, Swype Connect is included .. Which means it will auto update.

Oh...

I don't use Swype so I'm not familiar with it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] donalgodon:
KJ2 build date: Oct. 21, 2011, so it is newer than BUKJ3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yes I know. I was just simply mentioning it was on Sam firmware and released by them after KJ2 (according to their tweets anyway).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbalazs81:
I hope Tricky make fully optimized KJ2 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Yes guys I will look at the xwkj2. I only looked at kj3 because I wanted the modem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
And is the modem better than KI3/4?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Can you please share modem file? Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I don't notice much difference from ki4 to be honest
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Yes, KI4 was good for me as was KI3, with bad drain when in bad signal, but that is expected. As it is my network release I am trying to see if anything positive changes here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Exactly...I'm on voda too ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I think this is my second full charge on KJ2 with KI4 up to now. Battery life seems great, but too early to tell :) (speedmod now, siyah tomorrow).

Edit: signal strength is definitely better for me with BUKI1, at home in bed I used to get only 1 bar 3g often switching to E, but now I have 3 bars 3g and not switching for now. Hope it is not just optical, but saves some battery also :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
I noticed a lot of lag whilst waiting for calls to connect with KI4, Not so bad with VODKI1

Here is the file (odin), I guess you have this now..

I am also uploading the 1st build of KJ2, this is yet to have optimizations, I am just curious on what you guys feel the optimization does for the rom. ETA 2 hours

The optimized rom will be available tomorrow I guess, it has started the painful process of compressing. ETA Ages... :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks. I love odexed roms for some reason. I think I will try to learn how to odex back optimized deodexed ROM. That should be a monster IMHO.

My fingers are just to itchy not to flash anything everyday so I will never give it a proper battery test :/. Damn.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I am getting about the same signal strength with BUKI1 modem with KI8.

-71dBm 21 asu

Will see how it goes during the day.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Lower.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lynx2k50:
Could you compare it also with ki4?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Sure, but I just left home. As far as I remember KI4 was worst of those 3 for me, but I will test it in the morning and post.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
This is xwkj2 without optimization. I just want to see if we get much difference with optimization.

http://www.multiupload.com/JFGHB9CKD6
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks. Downloading. It is deodexed, right so I can try JKay magic?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Yes always deodexed.

The optimization will have finished so tonight I will make the optimized rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Running another deodexed KJ2 currently and it's fast! Using ADW launcher EX with Siyah on lulzactive min 100mhz and it flies!

Will await your optimised version as well, been testing various things since yesterday and MIUI was one of them!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks.

JKay mod succesful, time to charge up.

View attachment 772731

Now time ti charge up and go deodexed and Siyah 2.1.1 route :).

5h 40m screen on time with speedmod and all the different flashing is success I think ;).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Could u teach me how to do this mate?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Well I manually replaced files using root explorer.

First file I replaced was from etc/permissions/something.xml.

Second I replaced SystemUI.apk. I lost top bar and got errors all the time, but continued.

Third I replaced 3 files from /framework and the phone froze.

Powered off, took battery out, back in and reboot. It worked.

Changed permission after reboot like all files in folders have.

Some say it works also by editing update-script in JKay .zip from XWKI8 to XWKJ2 and flash via cwm, but I haven't tried that way.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Editing the updater script sounds much easier :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
No fun in doing it easy way :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
How do I do this Tricky? I have total commander.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
I tried that with kj1 and couldn't get it working.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Double click on .zip file (do not extract, works with WinRar and 7-zip) go to updater-script and move it to desktop. Open it with NotePad++ or similar and edit one of the first lines where it says XWKI8 with XWKJ2. Pull back the file back in archive. Close.

Install via cwm.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] malavan:
guys do we have any battery mod for XWKJ2

lol yes waiting on this, All I need now is Trickys optimized kj2 i hope jkay 12.9 works

on kj2.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dead0:
i still find the BOKJ2 a bit more smoother than XWKJ2

ps does anyone know which file to edit in XWKJ2, so when the apps are installed on first install, the app screens show them in alphabetical order?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Another way which I just tested is replace files in full not optimized rom with files from jkay zip. I also added jkay app in system/app, but that doesn't work.

Replacing stock kernel with speedmod/siyah in full rom also works.

So you can make yourself a nice customized rom before first install.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tkalli:
I'll wait for the optimized version.
