CRT effect + Black notification bar + Greener UI icons

Hi,

I am using this awesome rom with a few small changes. If you want CRT effect + the black notification look + Greener UI icons ( SE ARC style ) like shown in snapshot below, you can use the attached files.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Just for info

@ficeto

I noticed that the super user app ( com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk ) is placed in /data folder instead of /data/app folder. I changed it before flashing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuvaidya:

If this doesn't work, let me know. I'll upload to dropbox.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] slekerz:
Just flash to this firmware so far no problem detect and fell alot faster than before.thank you for this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuvaidya:
no silesh brother, I am not able to download from that link. I think dropbox is better. once I come to kerala,I will buy u a drink.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Ok. Check back in half an hour. I'll upload darky's rom. My upload speed is only 1mbps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] radiobicho:
URGENT!!!!!

Hi, everybody. I just flashed stock I9100XXKG1. Can I root with Darky kernel from this thread? Where do i put it in ODIN? PDA? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] netcitizen:
How do I install these files? (I haven't done it before)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes. Check your pm for more info.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
If you haven't installed the rom, you can replace the existing files with the attached ones. They are in /system/app & /system/framework folders. Else you can use adb to push the files in recovery mode.

If you are not comfortable with both, I'll create a flashable zip for you. Let me know.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spartoi:
How about an overscroll glow?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zevrosenthal:
Looking for advice on this rom vs. litenin 1.5? I've been on lite'nin 1.5; great rom but wanted to try out some 2.3.4 goodness. If so, which files do i need to flash using ODIN to test this ROM but still keep capability to go back to litenin easily? Flasjh just the PDA file or do I need to flash modem and/or CSC as well.

Advice/input welcome! Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuvaidya:
@silesh: r u busy brother ? I am waiting for ur link
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I'll work on it later today.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] minjiet:
for deodexed or stock odex use?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Obviously deodexed, brother.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] netcitizen:
have not installed the ROM yet. Will try the first option. I guess one has to unzip the ROM and then replace these items. Will let you know if it goes well.

btw, this Supercore kernel is same as the older one or is it new?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Don't unzip. Just use 7zip or winrar and copy the apps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jerry1221:
halo brother

can u make a flashable zip with overscroll glow also once u did it?:)

thanks:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spartoi:
Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pagetronic:
big lag in browser here :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuvaidya:
error 403, it seems you don't belong in here. try logging in - this is the error I am getting even after logging in with my account. what do I do brother?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
Is this a new supercore? Or it is still based on kf kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
there is a slight update to supercore inside the CWM package. Uses all binaries and configs from KG1 Kernel, but all kernel modules are still from KF3 because KG1 modules could not be loaded by a custom kernel due to some changes in the source that are not published yet ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
Huge thanks for this find :D stupid me ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
Thanks ficeto. Will download now. I also suggest posting the mod containing crt animation and systemui tweak in the OP so some people will not have a hard time finding it. Nice job :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ludow:
I have plenty of grayed out app icons after installing this rom. Any ideas other than reinstalling? Thanks for nice rom. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
No problem, my friend. It should be us thanking you for this awesome build. Its just that i have a look before i flash anything.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tempest2112:
Sorry can a Mod please remove post
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Why is that? I just checked. It is in my shared folder too. Let me check.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tempest2112:
Had the same problem, just uninstall and put it back in again, works fine now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] surya_mca:
hey mate wht if i already installed Darky rom..how could i place those System UI & Framework files ... can u please help ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
You can use root explorer to change system files. Just be sure to mount it as R/W before overwriting it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
I'm packing this and a fixed superuser apk location now :) will UP after successful flash :) thanks mate!

Just reverted back signal and wifi icons to stock ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuvaidya:
@silesh: brother I think u have uploaded it onto ur premium folder. it contains https, is that the culprit?

waiting for ur help. villainrom also got uploaded to multiupload.com, previously it was on FTP ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] drhassan:
can't see my usb storage

i've flashed twice, once stock & another with darky2, in both occasions the program "My files" tells me that there is no usb storage, in the notification bar there is an icon telling me that it wants to format the usb storage!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Dude, i have no idea. I have not used dropbox untill you asked me for a upload. So i created a free account for myself, created a shared folder and then uploaded the file to that folder.

Try this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] surya_mca:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
you need to put it in Public folder ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] failax:
It is possible to put data widget in notification bar?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Hehe. Thanks

@ Manu, Try this. By the way, how long does it take to download a 350MB file using 2G? :eek:

Mediafire is so much easier.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
CWM updated to R2 in OP ;) changelog is there also.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuvaidya:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes. In public folder.

Edit

[Galaxy S II Android Development] netcitizen:
flashed Supercore and then installed Darky2 based on 2.3.4 along with the system and framework files from @sileshn .

Installation was smooth. And the phone is fast and snappy as in Darky 2.3.3.

browser lags.

No data icon in the notification bar.It was a really useful addition earlier as I don't want to add a widget for that.

Superuser access is fine. No change in root access.

No advanced power menu. Not a big deal i guess.

did not check gtalk video. Not an avid video chatter.

There is a new Darky ROM boot animation.

Anything specific one must look for in 2.3.4 ?

Also installed Green Battery Power app recommended by folks as against Juice defender. Let me see if it has positive effect on the battery life.

hello,

i'm a newbie in this....so i have rooted the SGS2, but i want to know what does "Install SuperCore with ODIN" mean? and how do i do it? please help?

I'm really hoping that this rom will delete the TIM Italy bootscreen, apps and icons from my SGS2....thank you all in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] blackfire2802:
Hello, just dine everything that the tutorial said....but when i try ti apply the update from the sd, it says E: verification faild. Installation aborted.

Please help!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rabatinova:
Thats why someone needs to have experiences when messing with electricity.

You need to look up some stuff before doing this.At least read something about Odin, supercore, download mode, cwm, flashing, brick, etc.When you know what all those words mean you can start searching for custom roms.

Alternatively you dont have to know what they mean.You have to follow a guide to details though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuvaidya:
@silesh: thanks brother, that link worked like charm. I will buy u a drink when u come to Bangalore.

heimdall

anyone successfully flashed stock with heimdall? there are lot of files which I don't know parameters for :-/

//

so I made some research, it worked with

sudo heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin

it wiped cz keyboard, will probably have to flash csc over this with

sudo heimdall flash --cache cache.img

(this is a cache file from csc not from main file)

2.Install SuperCore with ODIN

Please which location I Need to put the SuperCore file on pda / bootloader or ? on odin3 ? thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Xonarial:
Dude wtf, I have problem installing stock firmware...

I also made a backup with SuperCore before installing the custom rom and

when I try to restore the backup, it says that md5 is a mismatch!

OMFG, why me! Is there any way to recover this? Any method to install stock

2.3.4. fw?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Xonarial:
PDA, I used bootloader and that worked too. It was a stupid mistake when I flashed the bootloader,

cuz now I see a warning image on startup. But it still works though. I'm also new. Install it choosing PDA.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] blackfire2802:
Same problem. Tried redownloading the rom, it just keep saying verification faild, instalation aborted. Please help me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] previa:
Many thanks bro.:)

can someone tell me how to get root on the stock firmware ,

i tried superoneclick but im stucked in running psneuter...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Xonarial:
You're welcome. :)

I wouldn't recommend to install the Darky's rom. In my personal oppinion, it

sucks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hakkinenvthh:
I have a huge battery drain with stock 2.3.4 leaked, very disappointed. Cross my fingers for offical release :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jack_p75:
The kernel put in pda
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gusoldier:
Flashed 2.3.4 yesterday. I finally managed to get zero battery drainage when sleeping. I just installed the rom and restored all apps and system apps with titanium backup.

So the same widgets: one updating every hour, one updating every 30 minutes, missedit widget, minimlastic widget, agenda widget, weather widget but not updating in the night, also runnig whatsap, widgetlocker and couple of other apps services.

So really who cares android os has a high percentage, if it just doesn't drain the battery.

screen on time 1hour

Btw, my gps wasn't working yesterday, but I'm getting 5sec fix again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mikulec:
flash some insecure kernel, run superoneclick and then flash stock kernel back
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Smith2001:
Anyone notice how the home button doesn't work when using launcher pro and the home screen items used. Also having a pin screen lock didn't work unless I reboot the phone and then it only shows up the once. Other than that we'll see if the battery gets sorted.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] omar.abbas:
I would like to know from you guys about the battery drainage fix? has it really changed anything? if yes, do you think its better than KF2 from the battery point of view?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adeiko:
Home button doesn't work for me :( Flashed 3 times, wiping everything >.< (with no-samusung & wipe folders)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tids2k:
+1 on this !!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bigmo7:
Went from KF2 to KG1. Amazing, the phone wakes so much faster now too...keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ludow:
This ROM has some problems with apps installed on SD Card. I have re-installed two times all my apps, which were located "internal" SD card. Might be feature or bug.

Pretty acceptable without wipe though...

Thanks for the ROM! :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes. Still pixelated. It was working ok for some time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cotvi:
Very fast rom. Thx magic crew.

Where I can find power menu and battery mod for this rom ?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Battery mod is already done. I am working on the power menu now. And I am not a member of Darky's team.

I'll post in a couple of hours.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
It should if pulsar hasn't made any changes to the framework.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvTonder:
Did you ADB push the two files?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MiG123:
nope, used root explorer...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuvaidya:
update looks quite snappy. android os & system consumes a lot less battery compared to its previous version.

but still lot of work needs to be done by developers,i am sure they will do it.

right now i expect lot of modifications for this close to stock ROM.

nice work by leaking this version by someone. kudos to him. keep it up bro.thanks for ur hard work.

What apps would be removed with "no-samsung" folder?

I only want "Kies air", Social HUB, Allshare and Voice commands. Are those apps included in the rom with "no-samsung" folder?

I found a folder in firmware in extra/Samsung. Are those apps?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gammalerik:
Are the issues with low/muddled sound during calls addressed?

Low ringtones/notification sound?

Also, is noisereduction still the default when making calls?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] netcitizen:
after installing the ROM i noticed that the incoming call ringtone was set to nothing and the call volume was low too. missed some calls because of this error.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
The extra/Samsung folder contains the stock apps which can be removed at the time of install by creating a blank file called "no-samsung" and placing it in the sdcard under Darky folder. Note that the file has to be in the internal space, not in external sdcard.

Any apps that you want, just move them from /extra/Samsung folder to /system/app folder and flash.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Extended menu will take time dude, probably tomorrow. Family duties. Saturday evenings dedicated to wifey & children. :)

I am done with the framework-res.apk and framework.jar. Only android.policy.jar remains.

Battery mod with % is ready. If you want that, i can post it now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] syps54:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] georgeartaki:
I am in Congition 1.08.

Is there any problem if i install this ROM without any wipe (data or case?)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Ok. Attached. Flash using cwm. Snapshots below. If you dont like the battery png's, change them with what you like.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] skull7545000:
Good to hear the AOS bug is finally fixed, will try it right away, thanks!:D

Only things left to do are Extended menu, Overscroll glow and Data widget in notification bar. I will do it by tomorrow if ficeto doesn't get it done by then. :D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] oscar8x:
I don't know why, but again I got a laggy browser.

I installed yesterday the first Darkyrom and the browser had lag. Today I installed the R2 versión with 2 folders inside "Darky" folder with names "wipe" and "no-samsung". The installation was fine and I got just a few apps.

No obstanding, I tried the Internet browser and when the page is loading is a bit laggy moving up and down in the website, but when the page is loaded is too much laggy and almost useless.

What can I do?

Another thing is I got a different kernel.

Baseband version:: I9100XXKG1

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555ficeto@beast #SuperCore_1.0_e

Compilation number: DarkyROM2 XXKG1 BASE

Browser lag appened when Browser.apk is deodexed in rom...i've tryed to fix now but don't work...i will try again to fix
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tampiss:
I did the same and no probs :-) No wipe needed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] t0ph0id:
I also did the same and got bootloop. Try it without, then wipe if necessary.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
No man. Because the ROM itself is rooted :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrSimtang:
Why isn't this working for me?

This is what I'm doing:

1. Flashing stock KG1 via Odin

- Code_I9100XXKG1 file goes into PDA

- Multi CSC file goes into CSC

- Modem file goes into Phone

- Pit file goes into Pit

2. Turn phone on, works fine. Turn off, into download mode, flash Supercore via Odin

- Supercore kernel file goes into PDA

3. Boot up phone, turn it off, turn on into recovery and flash Darky KG1 via "install zip from sd card"

Why isn't this working?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IronSingh:
Can Confirm Home Button is not Working.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] voodoo128:
i can confirm this to :( home button not working , used no-samsung method
[Galaxy S II Android Development] twista49:
Even if I flash the stock firmware and not the Darkyrom? Sorry new to samsung phones as people previously had htcs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] guru_floyd:
dont use the pit file and repartition. Just use the PDA and Phone files.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] guru_floyd:
What do you mean home button not working? Can you be precise. My home button is working fine after flashing this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elban:
For who already has cf-root, I've been able to install without pc.

Flash the kernel (zImage) with cwm manager and then the Rom.

No need to wipe in my case.

Only weird thing is that when booting to recovery you see a black screen, push a button and cwm appears :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gtda:
mite give this a go as ive finally got my phone setup to how i like it

one question tho, is this rom themed or changed from stock

i remember when i had my old sgs, darkys roms where always themed

there is no screenshots or any mention of changing how it looks

im a big fan of stock themes with simple things like crt and ext power menu, nothing else really

cheers guys
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kvv515kvv:

When I try to upgrade to R2 the phone remains stuck at the logo and the yellow triangle..any way to fix.it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vorcigernix:
did u applied csc?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IronSingh:
It's as if the Button is broken. No response to Home Button, I know it works because I can still enter recovery and Download Modes, but within the ROM there is no Response.

Did you use the "no-samsung" method? and Wipe?

Peace.

Home button working fine here using no-samsung+no-swype method coming from litening 1.5
[Galaxy S II Android Development] john291:
And how do you like it against the litening 1.5 rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
home button issue really only arises when using a combination of wipe+no-samsung. I guess one or more of the apks removed by no-samsung are required at first boot (SetupWizard or PhoneWizard maybe?) if you find which one it is, it will be great :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sayli:
@john291:

Honestly i can't answer this. I didn't wipe my phone so most of the litening features like gtalk app etc stayed when i came to this one(i guess). But the rom itself is kinda better yes + there is no battery drain anylonger so it's a nice thing :)
