Hi.i am new here on the GS II Forum.I would like to flash the Exynos 4.5.

I am right now on KF3 stock rom with CF-rooted KF3 kernel.

Could you please guide me as to how should i proceed with upgrading to this rom ?

I have read the first post where you have posted instructions to upgrade to this rom from older versions.

But what about we users who are on stock factory roms ?

i'd also like to know more about the 3.5 base file system you would like us to install before proceeding to 4.5.

Regards,

Karan.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zanr Zij:
Oh new version as I said. I will try again when you don't release new version in a short time :). Have good development! Nice cooker!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alekxxx:
Hmm... I flashed 4.5 40mins ago but returned to 4.4. The phone kept beong unresponsive twice at the S logo once on PIN request and the forth time in twlauncher.

Every time it needed did a manual reboot.

Any ideas why? thx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mostyle:
Yea, that undervolted kernel is flakey. I switched to the kernel by the same guy with stock voltages and have had no lock up yet.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Baskey:
I got bootloop after applying 4.5 update on Exynos Extreme 4.4. Phone tried to boot 3 times and then stucked at the "S" logo (even animation stopped). Download mode was broken but USB JIG saved my ass (I forced download mode). Then I flashed phone with stock KG6 and everything is looking fine. I don't know why it happend. Any idea? Jesus...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mostyle:
I got stuck at the S as well with the default kernel.. Even had lock ups trying to use recovery.. I'm warning you ALL, that 'release' UV kernel is pushing things a bit too far...

You've been warned. :) I suspect that the reason the extreme UV works for some and not for others is much the same as why some devices will overclock higher than other devices.. Just a minor fluctuation in the quality of a part etc.. That being said push to the extremes he seems to be trying to manage it's push the hardware to the limits to sustain stability.. Some make the cut and some don't.. Your mileage WILL vary.. :)

See the thread refered to here foe the other two kernels. The one in the Exynos 4.5 is the one labeled 'Release'.. I haven't had a chance to test 'Workaround' yet.. I know that 'Standard' works with no freezes.

Test them as you wish.

One other thing.. The previous poster referenced having to flash a stock rom to get working again because download mode was broken... If it were truly broken I don't think the Jig would have helped. (Glad you had 1 though. :) Just wanna share some info..

You should never need to revert completely to stock unless you just want to.. Two reasons..

1) Download mode is actually handled by one of the two hardware partitions that house the level 1 and level two boot loaders (referenced as sbl.bin) and the only way to can destroy download mode is by erasing BOTH of these partitions and hence creating a hard brick which will require a hardware flash to fix. Recovery mode (I believe, not positive [Please correct me if I'm wrong.. I hate being wrong 3x more than I do being corrected]) relies on the in place kernel as it is launched conditionally after level 1 and level 2 have completed. Download mode is a separate beast all together.

2) As long as your boot loaders are intact you should be able to old in the power button for ten seconds (regardless of phone state, boot loop frozen screen, etc) and cause a reboot the same as if you had pulled the battery. After this ten seconds Vol down+home+power and you should get download mode at which point you can just flash a new kernel (as is the case with the issue.)

Apologies for rambling on so long. Short form.. If when you hit the power button, something happens.. You're fine. :)

Also attached is the framework edit for CRT Off animation for 4.5. CWM zip.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Baskey:
When I was trying to get into download mode, there was a picture with PC and phone with big "!" between them and info, that I should connect (put?) phone into "download KIES" (sth like that). Definitely, it wasn't download mode.

I want to apologize for my poor english by the way.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dragonthl:
omg I read this to late so my phone stuck at bootscreen ( at the S ).

What can I do now?

Can u tell me how, look like my fone bricked. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alexandruvlad:
Big issue here after flashing 4.5 .... phone didn't boot (left it for ~5 minutes) - restarted it , tryed to reflash 4.5 , nothing new - restart again

Thought of re-installing 3.5 , didn't work , the "installing new system" progress bar got stuck ... what can i do to erase the faulty CWM ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ciceroripi:
I got stuck with the S too, so I Flashed the StockVoltage version and now everything is ok.

I think CRT-Off should be standard...

Tks Vincenzo for the rom and Mostyle for the CRT-off
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Baskey:
I have a little advice for all who have this problem: don't repeat my mistake. I almost brick'd my SGS II when I was trying to back to EE 4.4 after unsucesful updating.

If your phone stucked at "S" just hold power button (it will turn your device off). Then enter the CWM and apply random kernel (ok, maybe "random" is wrong term, but both CF-root and Ninphetamine are fine for me, I think other kernels too). Restart phone and... that's all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ciceroripi:
Vincenzo can u please give the Exa code for the Green color of the icons on the status bar?

I'm trying to make a Battery mod for me and I cant get the color right...

Tks!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] b00st1988:
I had also the same problem but than after 2-3min i holded the power button to turn off (3-5sec) than I had the reboot and it works now :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sleev:
I'm using Exynos with ninphetamine and by battery life is awesome. 2 days of using with calling, wifi, mail sync on and google sync on.

I,ve freezes wifi sharing manager because it drains still battery even on 2.3.4

If someone like notification bar like on photo below here I made CWM flashable mod:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

http://www.multiupload.com/O8JUR6MDPZ - only PCB style bar

http://www.multiupload.com/8R1RXLRTIM - PCB style bar and CRT off by mostyle

Next thing is BLN still don't work :( I changed all necessary files (liblights, services.jar and kernel to ninphetamine - everything seems to be ok but led notification don't work... - if someone would fix it I'll be more thane gratefull :-D BTW only on exynos 4.2 BLN works fine)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tomek_fcb:
some noticeable differences between 4.4 and 4.5?

I have version 4.4 and battery is perfect 2days 4hours, multiple calling few txt, wifi and still 67%.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alekxxx:
Thx for the status bar.

And for this screen caputure too, because i was going to post that the messaging icon isn't the same as in 4.4 and i am trying to change it with metamorph even changed the picture in the resource file in the archive with no luck. It remains the same...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SCHMANKii:
Sorry for asking this, but I don't have much time to read it up.

If I'm on 3.6, is there any possibility to update to the newest version without losing data?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sleev:
Just wipe cache and dalvik cache then install 4.5
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lunatik49:
Is it possible to have the stock notificatoon bar ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fyre31:
i can't seem to open my external sd card in recovery mode. everytime i open the folder it just returns to device memory

also, the power button doesn't "go back" anymore, when i press it it opens some random folder (i think) and doesn't return to the previous menu

oh and the samsung apps notification setting is still visible in settings :D

aside from those, great rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
Hey, bro. I just wanna make sure this is for v4.5 and not v4.4

Thanks.

Edit: Dam, so fail. The download file says 4.5...lol.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mostyle:
If you see what we called "phone ! computer" screen, you're still good. I'll be honest and say: On the captivate I knew what the order was to get to download mode from this screen however I confess I don't on the galaxy II as I've never seen it yet.

I don't wanna soft brick my device just to experiment either.. LOL

On the captivate, it was as follows:

Assuming you had the "phone ! computer" screen on power on hold in BOTH volume button and the power button for 10 seconds and the phone rebooted. KEEP the buttons pressed.. let the phone reboot again.. Continue keeping the buttons pressed..

When the screen blanked for the third reboot release all three buttons and it would pop up in download mode..

Was tricky timing but I assure you it worked.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
For everyone who has been stuck at the SGS2 Logo while booting up, try flashing the stock-volted kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
Just for everyone's reference, this colored icon zip works on v4.5 perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mardanpet:
I wouldnt, Ill make a new apk for v4.5.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hamst0r:
The undervolted jeff kernel sucks Vincenzo, most people here in german forums got stuck on bootanimation :( No problem we will flash other kernels but this sucks regarding noobs that follow your instruction because they dont know what to do on stuck boot! Please refer to speedmod or ninphetamin.

Undervolting is cool, but it has to be stable, and jeff kernel isn't stable for most of the people.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
sweet. looking forward to it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mardanpet:
credits to all as normal, this is just a signed zip with icon changes for settings and power menu. no other files are changed from the original Exynos 4.5 source

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z8VKD7S1
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SCHMANKii:
I have many problems.

I don't have any notification bar, even after reboots and my device often stucks and reboots or does nothing at all after shutting down.

Updated from 3.6 with chache wipe and dalvik chache wipe.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jackmort:
Kinda like your ROM, I switched to Solarflare a couple of weeks ago, and as it's discontinued, I come back to yours ! But in 4.5, there's something I don't want : "no sms in call log" (i like to have a full log). If I take mms.apk from v4.4, will it work on v4.5 ? Is there another way to revert the call log to original behavior ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cey123:
Gtalk Video does nto work (app crash)

Utrack crashes...

Ah of course, i had to flash ninphetamine, standard kernel suxx...

I mean, why did you chose this kiddy kernel? Experienced developers made kernels like Speedmod oder Ninphetamin and then somebody comes who declares his kernel would be awesome energy saving. Sounds too good to be true. And indeed, the maker of jeffry kernel just lowered all voltages by at least 150 mV as it seems. He obviously made no efforts to test his kernel on otther devices than his own. I suggest actually only 20% of all devices support that low voltages.

And no, I didn't flash the jeffrey kernel with stock voltages. Somebody who makes that bull**** (just massively reducing voltages without thinking about compatibility) I just dont trust.

Reading voltages with Voltage Control or Tegrak is also impossible...

PS: You should not factory reset after installing 4.5, that also can cause bootloop (whyever)

PLEASE release a 4.6 edition with a good working kernel! I like the other features of the ROM and the design very much, so that would be great.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mostyle:
The 4.4 version will work, yes. You want 'logsprovider.apk' though and not 'MMS.apk'
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jackmort:
You're right my mistake ^_^ Wrote this in a hurry (lame excuse xD)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mostyle:
Three cheers!

I give you today working back light notification...

Comes in two flavors.. One with the CRT animation and one without.

I also included the modified services.jar to make BLN work with stock apps.

As is usual, I take no credit for the original work contained within.. All credit for that is due the original authors.. I just enjoy getting the stuff to work on the ROM that I am currently using.

Without further delay..

BLN with CRT Animation: DOWNLOAD

BLN without CRT Animation: DOWNLOAD

Each zip also includes the free BLN app by Neldar. Be aware that the free version doesn't blink. Gotta buy the paid version if ya want blinks.

Thank sleev for nagging me to track this down.. LOL. I never used BLN so wasn't too concerned about it but he wanted it so.. Glad I could help.

Do be aware that these zips are CWM compatible.. Just flash them that way.. Also each of them replaces your current kernel with Ninpo's 2.05.

As always enjoy and hope ya find it useful.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
Thanks, Mostyle.

Awesome. This kernel puts a Carebear in CWM. LOL
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avetny:
Guys i flashed latest update., but it still saying I got 2.3.4 !

Whats up with 2.3.5?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
what are you talking about? 2.3.5 is just certain parts of the ROM, not the full OS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avetny:
Oh got it ! Lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mostyle:
Oops, that's the wrong kernel then.. LOL, must have grabbed the wrong zimage when making the zips.. LOL.

I'll correct it asap.

Also gonna add multi-upload links.

Edit: Fixed the kernel and created Multiupload links.

Enjoy.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dainese01:
appreciate your work! would LOVE to try that BLN stuff.

But pleeease double check your work. I don't want to stuff up my phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mostyle:
I assure you, I triple checked.. to insure that BLN worked.. Not if there was a bear in there.. Hahaha. Ninpo's kernel and the carebear kernel both have BLN support, that's why I didn't catch that.

Either version worked though.. I assure you, I go out of my way to make sure things aren't broke when I post them. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dainese01:
ah k. all good. thanks again.

i was going to try yours after i flashed 4.5 (from 4.2).

but stuck at 'S' screen... :mad::(

trying to find another kernel now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
LOLLLLLLLL. Dam. I liked the Carebear.

Oh well.

Gonna keep the Carebear.

Thanks again for the updated kernel. :p

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bakedbread:
Thanks for the great ROM!

Sorry if this is bit noob, but I dont have much experience with voice calls over data.

Could you explain how you enabled SIP calling and how I would go about using it?

Do i need to set up Google Voice and a SIP gate such as sipgate.com to redirect the calls? Or is it simpler than that?

Also, is SIP calling available anywhere? Including canada?

Thanks a bunch!

Kernel

The default kernel in 4.5 is flakey.. It's been documented prior in this thread.. I'd suggest Ninpo or the Speedmod kernel. Haven't tried the latest speedmod kernel and I do know that the previous Speedmod was a beast on the battery. Also if you use Speedmod you get no BLN support.

I'll check into this when I get home this evening. Shouldn't be too hard.
