I really, really hard try to stay away from dealing with APKs ;) That job I leave for Darky and other devs to deal with :) For me it's important to have a stable BASE+Kernel running :) I guess you can say that I do all of the "Linux" stuff in every DarkyROM since 9.0, so it continues with SGS2 :) making sure that I cover every detail in the underling OS takes alot of time and adding APK modifications to it will just ruin any chance of spare time and real live :D Having all that space on the device brings many great ideas to my mind :) but will have to fix the recovery first ;) which BTW takes so long to start because something prevents it from showing the menu. You get ADB access shortly after screen going blank, but the menu shows some time after.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IronSingh:
Home Button just started working on it's own.

I didn't do anything.

I did a wipe and no-samsung

I was on Litening Rom 1.5 before this.

It took about 3 hours and it started working on it's own.

Maybe earlier I am not sure, as I was trying to avoid Home button, but kept pressing it out of habit.

I installed Go Launcher but that was when one of first things when I got on Darky through Titanium.

I didn't restore any settings only Apps, as I feel restoring settings always messes something up.

The only issue I have now is the Power Button Menu.

For all the people asking about how to go from 1.5 to Darky just follow the instructions in the First Page of Darky's Thread.

Peace.

Great ROM I would say after using so many good ones. Getting a 2.3.4 is joy in itself ;)

No problems so far for me. I came from Litening ROM, installed the Kernel and then the ROM.

A fix For the laggy browser please!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bigthugs0:
can i only upgrade the firmware to be 2.3.4 without replacing the stock rom

if so , how please??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tampiss:
The default browser is not prob. I currently installed Boat Browser Mini http://goo.gl/K8Ly9 , which seems great. At least till the lag issue is fixed.

There is a stock odin ROM in the first post.

[i know how to flash with CWM] its just the odin ,what goes where ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dinoc:
Yes I want to know that too, how do you install with Odin the stock ROM, there are some files there in the .zip archive which I'm unfamiliar with.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IronSingh:
Just Flash SuperCore as PDA.

Like the Pic

Then go into CWM and apply DarkyROM2_XXKG1_BASE_R2.Zip

[Galaxy S II Android Development] BenG7:
Hi,

Flashing with Odin, can I just check the right way to do it:

I click the PIT button and select the .pit file,

I click the PDA button and select the ..._user_low_ship.tar.md5,

I click the PHONE button and select the MODEM_I9100... file,

I click the CSC button and select: GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-Oxxxxx.tar.md5

I go into Download mode: ( Press Volume Down + OK + Power ), connect cable to the phone and PC, wait for the program to detect the phone and then click the Start button and wait the program to finish downloading the firmware files to phone.

But which options am I suppose to check out of:

Re-Partition , Auto Reboot , F.Reset Time and flash lock?

Any other settings?

Thanks a lot

This is confusing

Can someone please tell me the step by step process of flashing the stock ROM. I don't want to wipe data or root my phone.

I am currently running the official 2.3.3.

Any help will be much appreciated.

I would appreciate to get the same help.

I never rooted an Android phone, and I do not intend to play/hack too much.

All I want (coming from an unrooted stock Nexus S) is a stock 2.3.4 rom without any Vodafone or Samsung app sh** on it.

Currently I am on the stock German Vodafone BUKE5 with too many Samsung and Vodafone apps installed, that can not be simply deinstalled, unfortunately.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GoRRaN:
one quick question (sorry if it was asked before - couldn't find it)

so, because i was on HTC before and all this (install this kernel first...than this..this...makes me blow my mind)

i also had a Galaxy S but i didn't had to flash a kernel prior flashing a ROM...so why is this?

at the moment i'm on Batista's ROM KF2 version, so i have a CWM....is this flashing kernel first only to gain a CWM?

should i just use wipe from CWM and flash on top Darky's ROM or should i first flash Core kernel via ODIN first and then via CWM flash Darky?

any answers are appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Casey Rain:
If I wanted to go back to stock after doing this.... how would I do that in Odin?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] guru_floyd:
All i did was flash stock KG1 first and then flashed darky's and restored back from titanium. Works here so far!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] guru_floyd:
Once you flash the new kernel your Recovery is changed. Just flash stock KG1 through Odin and then flash back darky's. You should be fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eezdva:
Ok I flashed the Stock ROM . I think.

There is the pit file and the other 3 do I also nee to update to that. Saw it earler posted but not explained if we need to use the pit file...and repartition. Just installed the other 3 without repartition.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cruzzmz:
I didnt flash the .pit

just flash the pda, phone & csc only

btw my data was all wipe out ... luckily i have titanium backup and also google backup to restore back my data

to obtain root i flashed back cf-root kf2 on the pda using odin

Anyone else now have the Noise Reduction option show up during calls?

Any Samsung code available for us to choose the default (ON or OFF)?

Also GTalk audio calls come from speaker, cannot choose ear piece.

Strage problem - apps dissapearing

Installed the Darky 2 as directed in post 1. All went well, until I had noticed that (few) applications (most installed recently), dissapear after boot.

I went on and did a wipe. and re-installed everything from scratch. Restored with Titanium. All apps were there, and vioala, after the first boot, some are missing again- Really missing, had to re-install from the market.

Another issue, is the fact that "puting" the SGS2 to Recovery mode is problematic (even erratic).

Went back to Villain Rom 2.0

Really like Darky, please advice

Partially correct - flashing stock via ODIN

will

wipe your apps/app data/SMS etc. Content on your internal 'sdcard' (e.g. photo's, music) however,

will not

be wiped.

I think it's time to write an app that flashes kernels and modems from within the OS. To remove the triangle I do the following procedure:

Install Stock Kernel

Install SuperCore using adb shell

To install a kernel while booted:

put the zImage on the phone: adb push zImage /data/local/tmp/zImage

flash using the following command as root (adb shell then su): cat /data/local/tmp/zImage > /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

then reboot the phone: sync; reboot phone

I know, you should take some rest. It's your choise, I have nothing against that. But you also made the choise to post this topic before the end of the weekend! So that means, that you should read & reply the first 2 days to avoid some negative comments!

I already did read you installing your own cfw. What I meant is that you should need a group testing your cfw, before posting it. That way, you will avoid people being mad.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
a really noobish idea of how to get your backup working:

get CF-Root kernel (you should know from where) and get the zImage out of the archive

reboot into recovery (i know it's slow, but you do not actually need the interface for this)

adb push <path-to-zImage> /sdcard/CF-Root.zImage
adb shell
cd /sdcard/
mkdir clockworkmod
busybox mv -r supercore/backup clockworkmod/backup
cd clockworkmod/backup/<backup-folder-name>/
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
cat /sdcard/CF-Root.zImage > /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
reboot phone

you should now boot with CF-Root and you will have a working nandroid in your recovery and md5 of the backup will be OK

Firts of all thanks to ficeto for rom and sileshn for mod !

And now about laggy browser.

First of all i've tried to backport previous 'browser fix', but with no success. That fix just removes render skip when it was not necessary, so the fix is not good imho. And also applying same fix (I mean decompiling and removing ignoreDraw) does not fix browser for me in 2.3.4.

I decided investigate the problem further. In theory odex files are preoptimized dex files. I do not know the exact optimizations done to dex and exact format of the odex file, but preoptimization may mean that there may be no way to create really original dex file from odex file. Also it seems that you will have preoptimized dex files anyway in dalvik-cache later (this is subject to check for me). All this stuff means that there is no real need (for me at least) to have initial files deodexed.

Also any mods can be applied to odexed rom also. At least until you need to modify code, but most mods modify only resources.

I've created 'test rom' for me based on Darky's2 (odexed rom) and applied sileshn mods. And now I have good working rom without laggish browser and with tweaks and with root e.t.c.

p.s.: please correct me if I'm wrong.

p.p.s: sorry for bad english...
