I would rather release odexed roms really. ever since 2.3.4 came out (on SGS1 also) we have random issues with deodexed ROMs. I know that mods can be made for odexed roms as well (battery, power menu, locks, themes and animation) so Deodexing is really starting to look more and more unnecessary.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Xonarial:
I understand. Thank you for all the reply's. This was the only way I could get in contact with you. :)

I wasn't mad, this was a trick to see if you would reply and I was right. I trolled in a clever way. Thanx for the solution tough. I'll try it soon and post a reaction if it worked. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jade Eyed Wolf:
So, here's what I'm wondering: I'm on good ol' KE7, rooted, got the hacked GTalk with video conferencing already on, and I have Skype with working video. Everything works perfectly, and I have had no issues to speak of really, (apart from a few niggles here an there). So, my question is, for me, what advantages would I have by going over to this new firmware? I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kva:
We will have defenitely less problems with odexed roms I think.

Anyway removing gl draw optimizations to fix browser lag on 2.3.3 looks strange for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
So... thank you for pissing me off ;) and please do not expect me to answer to you anymore.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hassan_u7:
If i do this, will it avoid my phone warranty..? please help :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
really no reason for you to upgrade ;) many people like having the latest update but :) this is a leaked beta firmware and is not really recommended for anyone :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Xonarial:
You made my day. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aro:
Thanks tfn, this helped me a lot.

I am running 2.3.4 on my SGS2 now.

Unfortunately I was (of course) wrong, by thinking it would be without all the TouchWiz crap, so I am still hoping for some kind of stock like 2.3.4 for SGS2 to come out.

Well, at least all the Vodafone crap is gone.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wardy666:
I just wanted to say thanks for releasing this, as I'm sure many more do too, its working fine for me and the battery is great :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] qwerty1q:
Can someone check if call recording is working on this ROM, preferably Total Recall, please.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vaakuna:
Working very good. As good as any Darky to my SGS. Bests rom ever...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jade Eyed Wolf:
That's kinda what I figured. Thanks!

P.S. Forgot to mention in my other post, I have never experienced the AOS battery drain issue that everyone has been going on about. Did that get fixed with KE7 (which I'm running)? Just a thought.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] notoriouspk:
thanx for the ROM ..launcher pro Force close issues ..rest is fine. I am sure more polished versions of this gr8 ROm will come out as we move on ,just wanted to say thankyou for ur time and hardwork :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Danielfr:
Since I have flashed this Rom, I have ,when scrolling in applications ,a

very tiny white line on the right side of my screen. This line disappears a few seconds after finishing to scroll and appears again when starting to scroll.

I didn't have this before.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] redstripe:
I'm back from the pub and still no browser lag fix?! Ficeto I demand that you pack your stuff and leave the dev world for good! How dare you take time off from your private life to develop a rom for us and not take the time to make sure that everyone haa the finished article, even if its not your fault? Its totally unrealistic for you to expect us to carry on in life like this!

FTW! :-\

On a serious note, ficeto maybe you should create a closed group for testers so you maybe could have less trolling for reactions like you have endured today?! Again I would like to thank you for the rom, your a good man.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] av!:
Well said Ficeto.

I hope you will stick to your word and not answer to ungrateful and rude people.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BobaFeTT_NL:
Ok, I was on KE7 (through ODIN) and now decided to install stock KG1.

- Flashed all 4 files through ODIN

- Flashed Supercore and after that, rooted with SuperOneClick

Too soon to say anything about battery drain, however there seems to be one bug apparent:

When adding my corporate MS Exchange account, everything goes well (Contacts, Agenda) but ONE thing: the e-mail inbox stays empty! Even if I get a notification that I have 4 unread e-mails, the inbox is empty.

Deleting the account and re-adding it gives the same result.

Did anyone come across this, and if so, do you have a solution?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
thanks for the good words mate :) I do want to put a test team together, but as the device is new to us, so is the user base :) usually takes a couple of months for some of the users to prove knowledgable enough to be a beta tester (they know how to get out of just about any trouble). Not to mention that we were a bit betrayed last week from one of our trusted beta testers which brought a whole lot of user anger and bad posts towards our team :) anyway... I hope to have a small beta team soon as well :) maybe i'll pick some people that get constant issues, thus have a better chance of fixing things :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
I use exchange all the time :) never had this issue, but once ;) which was due to two things:

1. Wrong time on the clock

2. Selected too few days to sync mail for, so no messages appear if none are newer than the time period selected.

I hope you fit one of those :)

Hmm... OK Now I am seeing Pink Spot.

Any suggestion on how to get rid of it? Stock FW.

I went back to 2.3.3 DDKF3, did Wipe all Data, Cache, Factory Reset. Still There...

EDIT:

On 2.3.4

CAM FW: OCED11

PHONE FW: TBEC28

After I downgraded to 2.3.3 DDKF3

CAM FW: OCED11

PHONE FW: TBEC28

Pinkspot still there.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] netcitizen:
okay.

earlier i had installed ur UI and battery mod.

then i installed the EPM released by designgears. After that the battery mod was gone. then i installed the mod again and now EPM icons got changed.

so whats the deal with these mods ? they all affect same set of files/properties is it ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
That's obvious dude. All changes are in the framework files. When you overwrite the framework-res.apk, you will obviously lose the hacks of the framework that you overwrite.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BAZ007:
Fiecto,

A quick question regarding Open VPN, you mentioned earlier that the Kernel + ROM provided contains the required Binaries and tunneling modules, however I could not locate any application to activate Open VPN ?

Anyway I went to the Market and downloaded Open VPN settings App, it connects fine to the Open VPN, however the tunneling doesnt get activated due to the application failure to locate the tun.ko module I am assuming,

In the settings, I am copying all the config files to my openvpn folder, Load tun Kernel module option to isue the tun before starting openvpn is UNCHECKED, Tun module settings (Lod module using "insmod") Path to tun module is by default set to "tun", I tried leaving it blank but no dice.

I am guessing that the issue is simply, I am able to connect to the VPN, however my Data network in the phone is not using the activated VPN connection due to it not finding the tun.ko files.

I also tried many different combination of settings, setting DNS VPN server, with and without it, changing the Tun module to modprob, setting the path to tun, without tun.

In most cases I am able to connect to the VPN and i am being issued an IP address, however I do not get any data activity at all, meaning i cant browse, get to market, etc.

All the help is greatly appreciated =)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
tun.ko is not compiled as a module but integrated into the kernel :) so no tun.ko ;) except that you said that VPN is working, but I did not understand if it's working through your 3G?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
hmm got me into some FCs :( which resulted in a bootloop. Cleared Dalvik but did not help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :

Hey Axel, got rid of your milestone atlast. Any new good rom's on AH for SGSII?

Good to see you too, mate.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BAZ007:
Ok here is what I meant aided with Screen Shots

1- I am using OpenVPN Settings from the app, I could not find an OpenVPN app in the ROM you supplied, where can I find it ?

2- I can connect to the VPN, I do get an assigned IP, but there is no real Data activity either using Wi-Fi or 3G, which I am suspecting is caused by the App not being able to locate the tunneling module.

3- I tried almost all the possible combinations by the App, but I still dont get any real Data Activity with Wi-Fi or 3G.

Please advice me to what I am doing wrong, or what set of settings I am supposed to use ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hunhool:
anyone else experienced problems to use the email.apk with Darkys rom?

Installed stock rom at first,set up my emails,everything was ok.Flashed ove by Darkys xxkg1 base r2 and email is not working anymore:(

any solution,please?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pume:
My only problem with the email app is a heavy battery drainage...everything else is functioning as it should though.

Maybe you should consider a full wipe when flashing between roms?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hunhool:
I did a full wipe.seriously,removed everything,then flashed with stock xxkg1,then darkys

When I want to check my mails it says; "no answer/try later"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] makinas:
I have intalled the stock kg1 twice from samfirmware full wipe and i have the same problems.

Battery drainage . email crash. body now widget crash.

Im getting Back to kf2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] barryflanagan:
Hi

I think it could be that your openvpn server requires lzo compression but you are not enabling that in the config file.

Long-press on the vpn connection in the app, and select Edit Config. You should see a line in there reading "comp-lzo" - if you don't then try adding it and save the config then try connecting.

Hope this helps.

-Barry
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lanesend:
No probs for me installed stock version via odin all perfect. Battery life good!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BAZ007:
Thanks for the help Barry, i tried modyfying the configuration file but as I expected, it didnt work.

See connecting to the VPN server isnt the problem, tunneling my phone data connections through the active VPN connection seem to be the problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] feueri:
can i install STOCK XXKG1 ODIN Firmware as mentioned in first page using ODIN without rooting my phone or do i need something like CF-root for that ? my phone is one week old and i haven't done pretty much anything to it yet. if the answer to above is yes, does it matter where the phone was bought ? (it was bought in finland, not branded i guess)

i just want the latest stock firmware... i can root my phone later if needed...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] programatix:
You do not need to root your phone to flash another rom. Also, it would be wise to note down the baseband version of your original rom in case you want to revert back to it in the future.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] programatix:
Normally my problem with OpenVPN (any Darky roms) is caused by the phone not getting the IP from the server. I'll normally have to execute a command using Terminal to re-configure the TUN adapter to obtain IP from DHCP. After that, I can access the network properly. I need to do this every time I connect.

I can't test it now as I flashed Lulz Kernel because cifs is more important to me right now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] feueri:
What do mean by "note down the baseband version of your original rom" ?

Settings --> about phone --> baseband -->> I9100XXKE7 ?

If it is this, now it is written down in here :)

Does that STOCK zip in 1st post include all languages etc ??

[Galaxy S II Android Development] epicfailguy2:
For those stuck with MD5 check failed because darky has laggy browser and stock KG1 wipes all your data :

0 : Power on and install clockwork mod. Do not install the clockworkmod kernel.

1 : Go with any file explorer and copy the folder Supercore/backup/ to clockworkmod/backup/

2: Flash with ODIN the firmware you were before installing darky rom. Example : KE7

2 : Boot in download : install CF ROOT from chainfire's thread (the one of the firmware you restore previous step, example : CF ROOT KE7)

3 : Now in recovery mode you should be able with the HOME BUTTON to go into backup and do ADVANCED RESTORE : restore SYSTEM & DATA & CACHE. Restoring boot is not needed.

4 : Enjoy being back to a browser lag lass rom & wait for the official release of a fully working bugless rom. Enjoy

I hope this helps, cause I spent 2 hours trying to rollback without adb...

Ok so i flashed this DarkyRom on my SG2 no problems and after a great first 2 days the battery went dead. So phone shuts down, i restart it plugged in to power and now it doesn't recognize my simcard anymore.

So what now?! :mad: Read something about EFS and IMEI and needing to go back to Stock firmware??

AOS bug got worse!!!

First of all, thanks to whom involved in bringing us the latest ROMs with great functionality.

I downloaded the stock rom right after the tweet message and the battery drains itself (about 10% per hour with about 5 minutes of internet use):confused:.

when looking on the battery usage, AOS takes 56%!!!

I think i will go back to the good old 2.3.3 (the battery holds 36 hours with medium use).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] programatix:
Can you try this?

Backup everything

Open up the phone dialer

Enter *2767*3855#

The above step will hard reset the phone.

Do I need to flash the SuperCore kernel before flashing the stock XXKG1 fw? And do I flash the firmware via ODIN too?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] elban:
If you want to flash the stock rom you don't need to flash supercore kernel. Just use odin or heimdall on the stock firmware.

I will do this first thing tonight, pls also confirm

at the moment i am facing alot of issuse ( i dont have a notification bar on top its dissapear, my phone rings but i have no disp notification means i cant receive calls then i check in logs for miss call and then call back )

yellow triangle on boot up ( when i try to install my stock kernal i loose wifi )

all such issue would be gone since its a completely new rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] surya_mca:
Yes.. Just dont forget to Wipe Data & Dalvik Cache... every thing u ll get back..

BTW the triangle issue... im also having , it appears when we flash cutom ROM.. i hope that wont bother me much..

Gud Luck
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elban:
it's just a yellow triangle at the end.

if you need to send the phone to samsung support, you'd need to flash a stock firmware anyway, and the trinagle is gone (not the download count, but that's another story).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] roisagi:
SuperCore

do i need to use SuperCore or can i use any other relevant kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elban:
If you want to install the deodexed darky's rom, you need to have supercore installed, because other CWM implementations, like cf-root, might not work (they are incompatible).

You can install the supercore kernel with cf-root cwm manager, though (I did this).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] roisagi:
"You can install the supercore kernel with cf-root cwm manager" - which cf-root do you recommend with this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elban:
Actually you don't even need cf-root, just the cwm manager application which can flash a kernel without going to recovery (it actually just does a dd command on a partition, you could do this by terminal as well).

Or use odin/heimdall to flash supercore but you need a pc and the cable.

When you have the supercore kernel which includes a compatible recovery, you can flash the whole rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nitin.04:
will the super core will give me an option to delete dalvik cache ... while flshing other roms i never saw such options
[Galaxy S II Android Development] roisagi:
can anone comment on the battery life with this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gschot:
Hmzz... I would like to get this version in, but don't want to lose my data. But I guess this update is only implemented using Darky's rom, which has the browser lag problem?

I also spotted a remark in the thread about roaming. As I use Telfort as Dutch provider, I am roaming on the KPN network. The current firmware probably assumes that these are identical networks, so it doesn't show roaming. But apparently on the 2.3.4 firmware, I would have to manually disable packet data when going abroad? Anyone some input on this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Wipe dalvik is standard cwm stuff.Its under advanced or at least I think it is!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elban:
I'm using Darky's since R2 came out.

Battery life for me is pretty good.

Actually it looks the same as on my previous rom which was stock KE2.

I haven't experienced any battery drain yet, but since I had only a couple on KE2 (in about a month) it's too early to tell.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] halvar:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] aniteshj:
Someone please help, I'm trying to use ODIN to flash simply the base and clean 2.3.4; I;m confused though.

And does it matter what kernal I am running?

I really don't want to mess this up
