Quick fix:

1) Install custom kernel with CWM (not supercore)

2) Flash update.

3) Goto download mode and reinstall custom kernel from 1)

4) Boot

5) Install supercore kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gibsonus:
Here's what I did coming from Cognition.

1- Put Darky Rom on internal SD card.

2- Boot to recovery and flash the rom.

It took ages so at first I thought loops but it wasn't.

I'll go and try supercore now.

Ok just flashed Supercore with no problems. I'm assuming it's ok to flash it retrospectively like this?

I have Darky's rom on 2 SGS's so i reckon this will be good. Although I do like Cognition and Villain too ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dk_iceman:
okay I don't quit follow you

1: I got That

2: flash wich update ??

3: do you mean install CWM again ?

4: Boot ? into download mode or ??

5: got that
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robt772000:
Downloading now. Very exciting.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kingofthebraves:
darky's rom but where's darky??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mach0boi:
He's in page 9 or 10 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kingofthebraves:
lol, I was just about to change my post.

Seems like everyone is coming aboard the SGS2 train! We got AdamG, DG and now Darky!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wind79:
Hi Darky!

Nice to see my favourite Darkyrom from SGS move to SGS2 as well.

May I know if the new SuperCore supports Tegrak OC/UC function?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
I tried it. But it but it did not work either. Super user app crashed. Also swiftkey now fails to predict since it cannot get hold of language files.

Anyone having root user access issues after installation of this Tom?

When I verify root access this is the result.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sexpest699:
Where is adamG hiding? isnt he the chef of Oxygen?? the best aosp rom for desire ever!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mehtaparth:
THnks Darky!! Delighted To See U Work On The SGS2 Forums! ;) Keep IT Up!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lhahehal:
sweet finally haha..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Push the attached app to your system/app folder, provide appropriate permissions and reboot. You should have root access.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] flow78:
Super User works for me but i have sometimes force close even if i don't use it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
I am not able to copy the file onto the system/app folder coz Root explorer is not working and ES File explorer fails to copy which I guess is due to the fact that there is no ROOT access. right?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Correct. The way i did it was to add the app into the rom before flashing it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
Well I was on rooted stock KF3( with CWM 4) earlier.

Then as per darkys instructions flashed Super core and the Darkys ROM and now I have lost root.

So are there other options to regain root access?

what happens if i flash a KF3-CWM4 kernel from Chainfire. I am sure i will get root access but lose whatever the Super Core kernel offers? Anyways, any idea whats super about the kernel ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
How do you add apps to ROM before flashing ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Well, i did it differently. I was on stock rooted stock KE8 with chainfire kernel. I flashed the rom ( with superuser.apk ) first after full wipe using the method mentioned in OP ( putting a wipe file in /sdcard/Darky folder ). Then flashed the kernel.

Open up the rom zip file using 7zip/winrar and add your app to the /system/app folder.

Regarding kernel specs, OP has it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Nothing happens. It still works and i still have root access. As you pointed out, what we are losing by not using the Supercore kernel is unknown. Only issue is found was that my power menu was like this. Just to keep you posted.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paraklas:
Coming from touch-x-extreme rom with CWM 4...

Made folder \Darky\wipe... OK

Flashed Supercore through Odin... OK

Reboot to recovery... OK

Flashed the ROM...OK

The installation script also said "wiping phone" but on first reboot, no wipe has been done and now language is Russian instead of English?

Edit: Switched to English, but still no wipe done
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robt772000:
Sorry to ask but is this rom a modded stock theme?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ficeto:
SU binary is in /system/xbin and busybox is there too :) you have Superuser issues maybe because Chainfire's kernel puts it in /system/app instead of /data/app (like this ROM does) and therefore gives FCs. Easy fix is to uninstall it and then reinstall it from Market.

SuperCore Kernel at this point is not better than CF-Root, so you still do not gain anything using it other than getting some feedback to me so I know what works and what needs fixing in this initial release. Things will get better as we go :)

Broken Extended Power menu is a mystery to me :) had it once, reflashed and it was fine.

Theme is slightly modded stock theme with added battery icon and different notification bar (that is for now as Joel will have more work to do on it). framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk are UOT kitchen compatible, so you can make whatever mod from there apply to your phone and have it even more custom ;)

Did I miss to answer something?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blu3angel:
I tried installing this rom... 1st install the supercore kernel via odin... 2nd enter recovery and flash the rom.. Got bootloop??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rwonderz:
1.install Litening Rom 1.5 or Cognition S2 1.08

2.Download mode > install Supercore via Odin

3.Recovery Mode > install DarkyROM2_KF3_v1.0_Beta_2

4.Done!

This ROM installs without wiping your data, if you want to wipe, put a folder/file called "wipe" inside /sdcard/Darky folder.(do not factory reset/wipe from CWM!)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ficeto:
install CF-Root through ODIN to boot.

Added a note in the OP for future reference :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mon@diac:
Thanks for the great rom, ficeto... Can u add the SIP support in next release?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rixsta:
Hey...Can you ask Joel to pop in and say Hi :)

Its been a while ...hope you and your gf are well..

mmm NeonGT may have to be ported to this ...Shouldnt take me too long to port my theme from KE7 and it already has the data in the pulldown ... We shall see
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kva:
ficeto, I can try to track what the problem is with initial boot. It never botts first time with supercore kernel on my device.

ROM is what I was looking for. Probably gtalk with video is the only missing thing :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I forgot to add one more issue. I had no lockscreen as well. But I am happy becoz I use ripple lock anyways.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Just get talk 1.3 installer from market.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mach0boi:
The instruction on the OP worked for me. but what i did first was flash the full stock kf2 first before flashing supercore and the rom
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] keltonfan:
Very good news darkyrom @SGS2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paraklas:
Uninstalled SU / Reboot / Reinstall from Market/ Reboot, still wont allow root rights to apps, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

:)

apart from that, excellent (as expected from your developments)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Spartoi:
The notification bar looks perfect, don't change it please.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ficeto:
Those Superuser issues are really strange... maybe Superuser data wipe can help?

BTW, updated links for downloads, because I made some changes to initramfs hoping to make those bootloops disappear :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ficeto:
what kernel are you on?

did you at any point flash CF-Root while on this ROM?

could be that you have 2 Superusers installed :) maybe CF-Root put it's in /system/app and you still have the one in /data/app that the ROM installed.

Can check easily :) see if you have the CWM app that CF-Root installs in your app drawer and let me know :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paraklas:
I'll continue over the other forum to be consistent :D thanks for the help! (no didn't install any CF)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] surya_mca:
Just Simple Steps DUD..

Get Stock KF3 first..

and thru oding flash Chainfree KF3 kernal(for root)..

reboot and goto recovery... flash Darkyrom(which u need to put in SDcard before goto recobery)

and flashed reboot and again goto download mode to flash SuperCore Kernel... Thats it u ll get all Superuser etc...

Hope it helps u know...

*Press thanks Button if it Helps*
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Just for info

Those who don't use Samsung apps and Swype keypad like me can skip it being installed at the time of flashing the rom by simply creating blank files called no-samsung & no-swype and placing them in the /sdcard/Darky folder prior to flashing the rom.

That's a cool feature rather than manually deleting it. You can also choose which stock samsung apps you need installed. They are in the /extra/samsung folder.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ficeto:
I'll make more options available as we go :) still testing what apps can be removed :) I need to write an app that will let you set those as well :) but need to finalize them first ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ringrover:
Could add Arabic patch for this rom ....plz
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] powlemann:
So looking forward to the coming tweaks, customizations and improvements. Can't wait! :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] razorpixel:
I am going to hold and wait for new update before flashing.... hope it come soon..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ficeto:
what update?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bazzio:
I'm pretty new to the Samsung mobile world, i'm on Litening rom now and happy with it. I've read the positive comments on the Darky roms, but what's so special about Darky roms in comparison to the other (especially Litening rom) SGII custom roms?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stitch!:
Nothing "special" but different, many preferred Darky's roms on the galaxy S. I was on darky until 9.5, but it got to bloated to me. (240mb roms)

Darky did some nice things on the Galaxy S, including a ramscript if I remember correctly. In the end most roms are similar but there are some points where they differ: Some roms are fatter(more options, lockscreens, wallpapers, apps, etc) and some are skinnier.(only the needed, makes a rom faster in general)

Themes are different to, some are blue, some are green, some are totally black and some have different icons. You can see the differences in the screenshots on the OP(original post)

Some roms may implement certain tweaks or gimmicks, but it never takes long before other roms incorporate this.

My suggestion is try it, and try some other roms and see which one you prefer. This rom is still really young, so if your new to this try another first. (more mature roms, lite'ning is excellent for now;))

Hopelijk snap je het allemaal nog;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bazzio:
Ja hoor ;)

Thanks. I think i'll wait for a more "progressed" version of Darky's before installing a new rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
Any solution for the root access / super user problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mach0boi:
Try reflashing. Didn't encountered it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zencooler:
Hi Ficeto!

That's great you've moced to SGSII!

I have short (and simply :-) question: how to add/remove icons on notification menu (as you have on screenshot "Data" icon).

Thanks in adavance for the reply. Regards!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
flashed the latest kernel again and reinstalled ROM.. reinstalled superuser and its all good.

changed the kcell bootanimation to a nice android one.. btw do bootanimations from other android phones fit this one? are they phone specific.

one thing i noticed after installing darky ROM is that the Swiftkey beta app always fails predictions and asks to download the language packs again ? wonder why..

Also swype beta 3 which was giving me errors everytime got uninstalled by itself now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gravis_jg:
How did u change boot animation ?

Nice Rom.... glad to see Darky on SGS2... Darky Extreme has been on my old SGS1 from the day it was released (darkyrom)

Installed without any problems.. came from KF3 standard rom (rooted)

only thing i dislike is the bootscreen... is that a carrier LOGO ??

Tegrak OC isn't working well with this kernel. It keeps resetting the voltages that I apply at start-up because it fails to load the OC module.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ZiCoN:
So nice to be back on darkyRom :-)

Looks good, feels good

BLN and HTC_ime working in email, and I'm happy :-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DvTonder:
BLN? are you sure? As far as I am aware BLN is not yet available for SGS2

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cotvi:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ZiCoN:
BLN is a question of time, I'm sure of that :-) The HTC_IME is a question of if someone is interested enough in the Samsung email app to make it work.

I wish I knew coding, because I really like both :-\
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] patpeewee:
Nice ROM! :)

Heey nice to see you guys here! I flashed this immediatly when i saw this one on the forum :D

Until now i dont found any problems :)

Thx anyway! :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blu3angel:
After I've managed to flash and get it running, I realised that this rom is very very good.. Sleek, fast and stable... I like very much!! But as mentioned in the OP that Nandroid is not working? Is there any way to make it work with the Supercore kernel? I have to bring this up cause I love flashing and Nandroid plays a very important part to my phone in case of any bootloops or bad coincidence.. Btw is there any difference from the CF root kernel with Supercore kernel? And can i flash CF root kernel over the Supercore kernel to get the nandorid working again? Sorry for the questions and I hope that the Darky's Team will not stop to make more progress with the current updated rom...

I do have to say thanks for making this rom to the Darky's Team.. Well Done!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] surya_mca:
There is a bit difference..... Bit u wont get extended power menu in cf..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Spartoi:
So, will this be updated to 2.3.4?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ficeto:
SuperCore is not much different than CF-Root, but it actually is not that same also :)

SuperCore is build from sources as opposed to CF-Root which is a Hacked Stock Kernel (initramfs inside is replaced with a rooted hacked version).

The other main difference is that we use different recoveries :) we both build ours from source and both have been modified to work on the SGS2.

I'm still unsure why nandroid fails, but will keep trying to make it work :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] trishul:
installed ROM

hi

i installed this ROM over my previous "congnition 1.08".

I didnt flash supercore as i didnt have a windows PC available to use ODIN and didnt wanna wait for flashing this ROM :)

i flashed it using CWM which was already on my rooted phone.

now the basebnd says "XXKG1" and kernel says "supercore 1.0 e" Build is DarkyRom2 XXKG1 Base.

will this be fine? i do still notice lag when i try to wake the device from the home button.

also i had an option "CWM" in my apps which is now gone and also the Yellow triangle is back at boot :)

can someone please help me out. also this ROM seems to be quite slow.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] crypticc:
No-samsung

Hi. which apps does no-samsung remove please, will it keep calendar and phone tracker? thank you.

p.s. I did read this thread top to bottom but sorry if I missed an instruction somewhere. I see something about extra but wanted to check before I flash

Hi,

I was just wondering if there was an app which could make my 3g connection available to other devices? So my phone would effectively become a router, but broadcast my 3g signall, not wifi.

Much appreciated,

Oscar
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sthEn:
No.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
Technically, no. But I assume you can use DFrouter to tether connection to your PC via USB. Then share that connection from your pc through WiFi .. I haven't tried this, it's just a theory. :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Osca:
Is it a matter of nobody has made such an app yet or such an app isn't possible?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
You mean you want to reinforce your 3G signal to other mobile devices?

If that's the case , then no. and such an app is not even possible.

But in case you want to share a "3G connection" (a.k.a internet), then such an app is not available yet, it is possible though.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Osca:
I remember when I was using Windows Mobile 6.5 I could share my 3g connection to my laptop to get internet on the go anywhere.

Would this be possible?

^ Yes, that's possible, but only via USB tethering. Use DFRouter.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devz0r:
I'm getting the phone-/!\-computer problem.

Here's what happened: I was flashing Odin3 for the millionth time, but this time it didn't go past "DO NOT UNPLUG PHONE!!" phase for about 20 mins. So, I unplugged it and took out the battery as it seemed like I have no other choice. Then, trying to boot the phone, all I get is the phone-/!\-computer symbol.

I went through the Odin3 post and saw others with the problem and some of them being able to get into Download Mode by holding Vol Up + Vol Down + Power, letting it cycle twice, and letting go of power when the screen turns black the second time, but it didn't work for me. I can't seem to get it into Download mode.

It also does not work when I hold down Vol Up + Vol Down and connect the usb, as it has in the past. Nor does it work with just Vol Down or just Vol Up.

I just tried the One-click Unbrick on a Windows 7 PC and a Linux PC and on both of them it did not detect my phone.

What are my options with my phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Did you have GB bootloaders? If so, download mode is Vol down + pwr button.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devz0r:
I was going to stock from Cognition 4.5.3, so I'm guessing I didn't. In any case, that combo doesn't really do anything to my phone but turn it on (to the phone-/!\-computer screen) when it's off.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
make/buy a jig and if when you use it you still get the phoone...!...pc image try falshing from that screen as the image for download mode might not have been wrutten to the phone so the only image to call on when booted into download mode is the 'incomplete flash' screen you're seeing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devz0r:
Will a Jig definitely boot my phone into download mode? Or is it kind of another thing to try?

Edit: the only reason I ask is because the methods that have always gotten me into Download Mode don't seem to work now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
making one can be take a little finesse to get right, a properlay made one that you buy should do it first thing.

but like i said you might not get the download mode image on the screen even though the phone has booted into dl mode. that is just a pic that the firmware contains that is called on when dl mode is booted, if the flash that resulted in the phone...!....pc screen failed before the dl mode image was written then the phone...!....pc is the only thing you will see even though it actually IS in dl mode
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devz0r:
I know that I'm not getting it in Download Mode now because the computer never seems to be able to recognize it, so I will order a Jig and see if I can get it to work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devz0r:
To further elaborate, I have gotten it into Download mode using 3 button combo many times before, and holding down the buttons does make the screen turn black, and then go back to the phone-/!\-computer screen, so it is doing something. Will the Jig work in this situation, since the buttons are working but it's not going to download mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
A jig will always force download mode, unless of coarse the usb port on the phone is broken.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
To my understanding if the jig doesn't work not much else you can do except a Jtag service, that's more expensive than buying or making a jig. A easy how to for a jig is here. They aren't expensive to buy ~$10 but if you are in a rush and have the patience that how to will works wonders.
