hi all, i'm really interested with this rom. i'm now with checkrom/speedmod combo.

have a question here, as my CWM is installed through the speedmod kernel, when i want to install this rom, i have to do a full wipe. i'm not sure if the CWM will be removed as well?

or just to cut the questions short and being straightforward, how do i install this rom when i'm currently on checkrom/speedmod combination? will i be able to still use speedmod kernel after installing this rom? cause i'm not good in codings/tweakings, so i'm very unfamiliar with siyah kernels.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
You can instal this ROM as far as I know, I came from VR3.0 (KI3). Just download the rom and make any backups you want, go in to CWM and wipe data. I also wipe cache and dalvik. Then onstal your rom.

After that you will have to reflash your kernel if Im not wrong. I kind of assumed that, so I flashed back my SiyahKernel. You can offcourse flash a speedmod kernel, dont see why that wouldnt be possible.

Btw, it seems you don't want to use Siyah because you have "the fear" (I had it and still have it for scripts lol). Did you know that just flashing the latest Siyah kernel is enough? I dont use ANY other stuff either, no scripts, no undervolting, nothing. Not saying it's better then speedmod though, I never used that kernel so cant say. But just keep in mind, Siyah kernel isn't that complicated to use. Many people run away in fear when they see the posts in that thread, but flashing the latest kernel is more then enough. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ziroxs:
Someone can correct me if i am wrong.

1. Its a full wipe install. CWM will be installed again

2. You will lost the speedmod kernel, instead of this you get the Abyss 3.0. But you are able to reinstall the speedmod again or other kernel. Siyah 2.6.7 is very improved in last version, you can use it without problems and without codings/tweakings.

If you dont want to change settings you can use the Phenomenal 2.1 or 2.2 which is very good as well.

CWM you can use in all alternatives.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gorillaCF:
so it seems like, from my understanding is the CWM is not affected during the wipe? am i right to say that?

so all i have to do is:

1. do nandroid backup for now.

2. do full wipe(factory)/cache/dalvik

3. flash foxhound

4. flash siyah 2.6.7 (since default settings are already good enough i assume? as the main reason i'm using speedmod is that i just have to flash it, and dont have to tweak anything. i guess its the 'fear' that XDA Mark has mentioned :rolleyes: )

ta-dah?

nevertheless, thanks for the replies to both of you :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abeeshek:
no probs here mate !!!! loving the foxy very much :)

try reflashing with full wipe & calibrate ur battery stats...hope that'll work...this rom is amazing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zoule HCo:
No Need to worry.. just flash this rom u will be amaze by its smoothness and it feel lite..

this rom actually include a ram & tweak script..

Just flash any kernel that u like.. as for now I'm with Siyah 2.6.7..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Hey Zoule. Do not know if Raffa is active in this thread anymore, ut do you know if he will update the rom to LA2? Reading in its thread that it's really good with also some visual improvements.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zoule HCo:
Raffa said it will be the last update for this thread.. but who know he came again with surprise..

just keep in touch with this thread.. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
Exactly. Siyah is by default on the "Ondemand" gouvener, which is what most people are using now. Keeps your phone running fast and smooth, but is battery efficient. All you should do after you start up FoxHound 3.0 and flash Siyah, search for the app Voltage Control which should be included in this rom. Just open in and you will instantly see "gouvener". If it's not on ondemand, put it yourself. Thats all. Really not that scary ;)

And if you want to get back to the stock theme (Fox 3.0 also has a theme), look in Zoule's signature or you can PM somebody in this thread to send you a file you need to flash to return to stock theme. After you are back on stock, you can flash other theme's if you like. I think it's not good to flash a theme over the theme that's included in this rom.

And remember, if you battery seems to be draining fast, something is preventing your phone from going in to deep sleep when your screen is off. Siyah Kernel 2.6.7 has one of the best deep sleep results of any kernel, which results in almost no battery usages at all when your phone is not being used.

Sorry for all the Siyah kernel talk. If you have any more questions about that kernel you should post them in that thread, we are going offtopic here ;)

Btw, think you know this but don't forget to back up your apps + data (not the system apps!), because you will start clean on this new rom. You can use Titanium backup to .. back them up, then restore them on this rom. You will always have your nandroid backup so your all save anyways.

Hello, i'm planning to use this rom. Coming from revoHD v4, has become boring since there are no updates to their kitchen. I was just wondering if 802.1x eap wifi works ok with foxhound. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Have you tried going to Settings - Applications - Manage Application - Contacts - Clear Data?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gorillaCF:
thank u very much for the patience and your replies! :D:D

i'll flash it tonight, and thanks to geko as well for replying my PM :)

i mean honestly, part of my 'fear' of siyah is that i used to try 2.6.4 i think, very bad experience. so yeah, i shall give the latest version a try later after i flash the ROM. thanks all!

will post any problems if i do encounter any (hopefully not) ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] beston94:
Ladies and gentlemen...If you want the greatest battery life that you will have ever experienced in your life time....Send a private message to geko95gek and ask him nicely with respect for his CFG. His CFG saves so much battery that I just cannot believe it actually is true :D

Yet again, Thank you geko95gek for everything :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And of course lets not forget the great rom it self, Thank you raffaele88 !!!! :D

Hi there,

how can i take off the messages from the call log?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alcurtis93:
I don't get it. He gives 3 possible governors to use, 3 possible schedulers to use and under volt settings. Which are the settings you use?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
If you read carefully, I also provide the exact setup I'm using right now. Governor, scheduler and frequencies.

All I do before that is give you the option to think for yourself. Voltage base is universally stable and is provided for you as well. I just give the best possible combinations to try out on your device to see which one works perfectly for YOU.

Since everyone uses their handset differently and there isn't one SGS2 out there that is exactly the same in every detail as my one or someone else's.

If you don't wanna use the config, you don't have to but don't go moaning about it just because you expect to be spoofed to the last detail. That's not cool.

Yes mate it does, just flash in recovery as normal. After wiping cache and dalvik cache of course, then you will see the animation in it's full glory. :D

Hello, i finally flash foxhound and it's really nice and fast rom. With siyah kernel battery life is outstanding.

One question though.. Has anyone tried to flash the ics empire theme v1.8 over it? I tried everything and i had no luck.. telephone and contacts application seem to be corrupted. I did it over batista recover theme too. No luck either.

Thanks for your replies :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shmp:
Tried it too and failed. Would like to have this theme too, little bit smoother than the zoule theme.

Because we have tweaked .apk's you get FC's on every themed apk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
It works for me. I first flash the restore theme, then flashed ICS 1.8 and indeed everything was weird and a lot of FC's. The I flashed ICS 1.8 a few times, it was all weird.

The important thing is: stock TW launcer is working perfect, the modded TW launcher included is where everything is weird.

Hi

I tried to flash ics theme by vertumus several times. First flashed zoule's theme restorer, then ics theme. But sadly the phone and contacts do FC and the icons of the lockscreen sliders are not as they use to be (at least when I flashed this over checkrom, icons were white rings with wite icons inside).

Any suggestions how to fix it?

thanks!

99% chances are he flashed the wrong version of the siyah kernel. Properly select the kernel version accord to your phone model.

if i change kernel do i need to delete 05module script in the system/etc/initd so that the new kernel could perform better or i could just leave it as it is?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ziroxs:
I didnt delete this file and the cleaning script 1.6 didnt it as well.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlz0206:
already done that with cleaning script 1.7 before flashing the kernal.i experienced when i changed kernel from my previous rom that deleting some script in initd folder that are related to tweaks in governors or kernel tweaks that comes with the rom makes the performance and battery better than leaving them as is.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gowind:
Guys, I need your help....

My Gs2 screen has lost Its oleophobic coating at some places and today the service center has replaced it with a new screen. As per they have told me, they didn't mess with my system and Rom. But after the replacement i saw that the screen has become noticeably dark.

Now the real issue. My Proximity sensor is acting weird. when i make a call, the screen goes off and wont turn on even after the call is cut. i need to plug my phone to the charger to get my screen on. When i receive a call, the screen will not turn off. It will be lit even when its close to the face. I checked the Self Test mode and noticed that the screen is green and it vibrates when i test sensor. In normal cases, it should do that only when you put your finger above the proximity sensor.

So all my expert friends out there and android Gurus,

1. Is my Proximity sensor broken?

2. or can it be related to software, some thing related to the rom and kernel?

3. Can this be fixed from our end rather than taking it to the service center again because the self test mode was 'Greek and Latin' to the service center guy. He got nervous when i showed him the screen and told me that we don't actually use this kind of stuffs to test the phone lol.....:p

if you keep watch of your battery usage from rom to rom then do it.

imho, its a good practice but not required.

The third graphic doesn't show a 600MHz frequency, it's possible he set that SetCPU profile while using one of those kernels that has far too many frequencies added.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
Maybe you're USB debugging is checked? KIES wont work if it is on :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
That's because the one responsible for opening "wallpaper gallery" is removed from the ROM itself. For this to work, you should first flash the zip file of all the apps that has been removed :)

This is like the KIES via WIFI scenario. If you have already removed KIES from your system, it will still appear on the settings>wireless>KIES via wifi. But if you open it, it will FC :)
