insanity-ii-kernel-latest.zip

Hi there,

I just flashed the kernel only, and it seems smoother than the nimpheamine kernel I had before. That is these files:

unzip -l insanity-ii-kernel-latest.zip

Is it stable to leave it like this? I see no reason to flash the rest for the time being.

Does anyone know how to enable the lock screen pattern unlock? (If not I can flash back to another kernel). All I have to know is whether it works or not.

Regards.

Radios from CM question

I read on the main page that Insanity requires certain Radios to work with, presumably because its based on CM.

The phone I have already has KG3 installed. Is this the same KG3 as the ones listed in the original post, which would mean I would not have to flash KG3 from the original post (CM version of KG3) to the phone?

The KG3 currently installed is a stock radio from Samsung. It may be that I have misinterpreted what the list of radios is for.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:

I'm sure that it works on the ROM, but I have only flashed the Nov 1st kernel not the entire ROM ;)

My own fault. I shall flash the actual ROM tomorrow and see what happens. I thought I would just try the kernel out first.

Odd that it disables the lock screen patten unlock. I wonder why; Some dependency somewhere, or end-user error :)

No offense but you dont need to be talking about why a cm kernel dont work properly on a non cm rom. This is for Insanity only. Early warning if you decide to come join in, We are all insane on here mate lol

Just for the fun of it I tried a Firmware which I can get via a Kies Update. And what the hell is going on:

Insanity is getting more insane. It runs smoother and faster.And its a KI4 2.3.4 version (I9100XWKI4/I9100XXKI1/I9100DBTKH1 German unbranded FW!).

Now i only need to figure out WHY i cant use my mobil provider to buy apps from the store :s

I found the KI4 good but a bit hungry.

The german kies firmware is KI1 baseband. With the KI4 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

I dunno why, but even the wlan is working faster; search and connecting.

the battery time i need to test. ±48hrs days i get with ki4 2.3.5. no oc/uc...just stock insanity with stock kernel- ofc i changed the look and feel to my needs^^

boot loop cm54

Hi there,

I have a boot loop after install the cm54 rom for the first time.

After applying the .zip it reset and then displays the green Insanity logo and the message "Loading...", then refreshes the script, displays the Insanity Logo again with Loading. Its been doing this for 24 mins.

What did I do:

i) Reboot recovery: wipe dalvik cache, install the Insanity kernel .zip

ii) Reboot and make a phone call.

iii) Reboot recovery: wipe dalvik cache, install the Insanity CM54 ROM zip.

This is all.

Radio is KG3.

Previous install was Stock + ninphetamine kernel. Then did the above.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antiochasylum:
Exactly why I DONT have to do that. It's free anyway. It turns it off once you turn the screen off and right back on when screen on.

Green Power FTW.

No one is holding a gun to your head to try it. You don't like it so be it. However there's a reason he released it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
You didnt need to install the kernel as 54 has a kernel in it.. drop back to recovery re flash insanity 54 a second time..

[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
I've tried flashing only the ROM three times and it still exhibits the same problem.

The file I used is : insanity-ii-cm-054.zip

//edit. Just tried the forth time, and still displays the same flashing Insanity Loading ..., refresh display, Insanity Loading... The refresh happens once a second.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
OK, re download the rom, put it on sdcard, DONT use the phone to download it use a pc, reboot recovery.. factory reset, wipe anything thats wipe able and then flash the rom, if it fails to boot re flash the rom.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
The .zip was downloaded via the PC.

Wiping the data... Shame. I did a Titanium Backup etc, but onto the sdcard. Bugger. wiping means I loose 12Gb of data on the sdcard.

I shall download it again onto the external sdcard and remember to check the md5sum this time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
did you try to flash a basic firmware like kh3/ki3/ki4/.. and then install insanity? Sometimes a clean "system" is the best to start over. ^^

btw: did you try to wipe cache and system followed by dalvik??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
in cwm just mount your sd card and make a backup of the card on your pc.

i have an external card to which i use for backups and zip files to install

Just to verify: CMW - Will the option -- wipe data/factory reset delete the data on the sdcard?

If this is all, then no problems. I only wish to preserve data on the sdcard.

Looks like it only does a factory reset and does not delete the SDcard:

NOooooooooooooooooooooooo

DONT WIPE THE DAMN CARD..

In case you didnt get that DO NOT WIPE THE SDCARD!!!!!!!!

There is NO NEED, just wipe the phone, cache, dalvik but NOT THE SDCARD

Wiping will NOT touch the internal or external SDCARD.

Also, are you sure the rom is flashing complete? thats why I said re download the rom.. yours may be corrupt

Factory reset & and flash rom .zip again.

system/xbin directory

Hi Guys,

I see that there are only a few items in the system/xbin directory, whereas all CM7 builds have nearly 100 items there.

Are they not needed/redundant, or does instanity take care of things that much differently?

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
Hi there,

I played with Insanity a little & I am sad to say that I shall flash back to stock with another kernel. Its a very fast ROM, but it spontaneously reboots, TitaniumBackup often crashes, the keyboard will drive me nutty, and it even reboots whilst trying to select a wallpaper. Otherwise its very nice. I have not got far enough to test it ; My wife used tried to use it (she is quite good with these phones) but screamed after 2 mins when she tried to send an SMS (which locked the phone up). I only have a few hours to test the ROM as I have to be back on-call in 2 hours; If the phone is not rock solid, either by my own fault or that are the ROM, then I shall not use it.

It is quite possible that the problem lies with my actual handset and not this ROM. However I shall not continue using it until CM is past RC.

I would like to thank those who offered me help and assistance whilst I installed this ROM. Cheers.

It is very reassuring to see a proper changelog

accompanying each release of Insanity ROM.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] krarvind:
Insanity only has what's required (min) to run the phone. Only nitr8 can give you more details. I know you are the developer for hyper sensation and I guess that's why you are interested
[Galaxy S II Android Development] krarvind:
Abs no crashes here whatsoever, must be singe leftovers for you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
I had FC and reboots in the beginning too.

After a few readings and tests and flashings i just saw that a system wipe is the best way to get it running perfect - ofc i made factory reset and dalvic wipe.

Reason is quit simple, sometimes there are leftovers from the old ROM which bugs insanity.

Could be only me, but when i used Ki3 or KI4 insanity was more stable and ...hm...lets say the feeling was better.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] krarvind:
Ki3/Ki4 , are you referring to modem? or you flashed the stock Ki3/Ki4 flash rom inlcuding bootloaders, then came to insanity? What base you came from shouldn't have any impact, your modem might have impact on the battery and signal reception. thats it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
I dunno ...the feeling was better.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] krarvind:
your answer is still vague and will create confusion to some. Please explain when you say Ki3/Ki4 was better, is it just modem ( ki3/ki4) or you flashed that stock ROm before flashing Insanity.

Have been a long follower of Insanity from the SGS days. Despite me trying out all clean wipes, the Video Camera just don't capture. For Video playback DICEPlayer is doing a great job though. Is there anyone with similar problem?. Too tired now. Logcat next time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
Another try

I'm not oncall anymore as of later today, so can flash back to Insanity and try again. I shall wipe all data (not SD) before hand.

While I had it installed, I noticed that the logs in SuperUser app listed some actions from Titanium Backup as denied, although the majority were allowed. Strange.

Does not explain the reboots.

Calendar

I noticed while I was using it last night that the calendar was not installed. I did a quick attempt to restore a calender backup from MyRootBackup, but it failed with a message akin to no calenders available. Is there a way to install the calendar. I cannot use the Gmail for calendar services because I refuse Googles terms & conditions ;)

I just checked again with stock Sammy, and I am not using Gmail for Calandar.

after flashing insanity go into NITRALITY and install what you want, you can also change the dpi, under ui tweaks cos not everybody has good eyesight like nitr8 lol.

Hi,

I checked on someone else's phone. They installed the Calander from the Nitality, but it is only an application. It did not provide the functionality of the calendar.

One cannot create a meeting because the underlying function does not exist.

Like my future install, his handset does not have a Gmail account set-up.

Selecting New Event gave the error message: No Calendars! You have no calendars.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] krarvind:
You need calendar provider abed calender
[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
Yes, I know. Both are installed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
Clearly the point of this rom is being lost..

Firstly it has hardly anything in it, at 47mb surely you can see that.

nitr8 has always gone for the smallest possible working rom... working = what HE needs and uses!!! NOT YOU

So for you to get it how you want, you have to install the stuff needed... one BIG failing is people dont install the gapps which installs things like sync etc.

As has been said like a million times.. make a zip up of the stuff YOU want, flash the rom, let it boot, go back to recovery and flash the zip with ALL YOUR apps in it... reboot and its done.

Also in case your not aware this rom is for semi experienced users.. if you cannot get what you want to work then maybe a CM7 flash will help you as it is a FULL rom.

TrOjAn
[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
In case you noticed, I treat writing in caps as someone shouting or venting anger :)

Agreed, it a ROM that he uses. This is not the point of this discussion.

If this ROM was not meant to be used without a Calendar then it would have been useful to state before people install it, although not a big deal that it was not mentioned either.

The GAPPS that are provided provide the Calendar Provider and the Calendar interface. However there is little point packaging these items if these do not work. If this is intentional, then it should have been pointed out.

I am quite wiling to mess around with this rom and get the Calendar to work, but it would be useful to know what it missing beforehand. Otherwise, there is little point.

Trojan, this is not about me pe se, but about the Calendar application. Please don't confuse the two.

now some facts:

1. My prior back up of the stock Samsung was done by Titanium Backup.

2. The Samsung Calendar apps will not install - I am unsurprised because these are likely tied into the Samsung framework... (I have these apks elsewhere and those won't install either),

3. The suggested route to get it to work is install Calendar Provider and Calendar. This did not work.

4. It would be helpful if someone (maybe including yourself) would explain what is missing. If someone could then I may be able to proceed.

Perhaps I am being a little foolish and missing something obvious to get the Calendar to work. Apologies if this is the case.

Summary: what is missing to get the Calendar to work? Let me know and I shall F off and leave you (Trojan) alone.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hacksome:
If you use LauncherPro, there is a calendar widget which can display the events. I don't create calendar items on the phone. So reading with this widget is fine for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
Hi hacksome,

Thank-you for the idea.

I think the LP widget has to read the calendar data from a dB some where. From which calendar does your LP widget get its data from?

Another option may be to set up a Funambol server (or similar) and sync with this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] krarvind:
Looks like you need GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk. I usually edit the default insanity.zip file and add what i want, remove what i don't before i flash. Take a look at my sig for how to do it. Mine is all single flash. I get everything i need.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hacksome:
All my PIM data are with Google. Trust them with my life ;). I do have exchange Sync through Enhanced email. But don't sync calendar and contacts from exchange. So the LP Widget is picking the calendar data through regular Google sync.

Video Camera Works!! :-)

The stock camera crashes for me when toggling the camcorder switch.

I believe it may have something to do with my flashing a different camera firmware at some point:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098834&highlight=camera+firmware&page=1

First attached firmware is what I flashed...

Anyway, so far so bad, right?

Well, I trolled through the thread and found on Page 136, Post #1360 by _Sofos_ a recommendation to try lgCameraPro. -Oddly, this application works for me.

I can reliably use my Video capability via this software. Not sure why or how, but it just plain works. -I think this has saved me from iteratively cycling through all the firmware versions for my camera in attempt to get the video part to work again...

I hope this helps somebody.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] antiochasylum:
@forgetmyname.

No no no forget exchange and all the crap, lol.

You need to open the calendar app, (make sure its installed along with the calendar sync apk)hit the menu key, select more, then select calendars, then select which calendar you want to sync, by selecting the account in which to sync.

Then it will appear as normal and you can add events and such :-)

That will rid you of the no calendar message.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
I may have a work around. Its a little crude:-

1. Backed up and then deleted all contacts/SMS etc.

2. Added a Google Account (much to my dislike;) )

This created a calendar that I could access locally.

3. Uninstalled: Googles Contact Sync

Google Calendar Sync

Google Backup

(and Google Talk and Google+ just in case these sync something without my knowledge)

4. Restored Contacts and Calendar (MyRootBackup application used).

Result was that there is now a local calendar that I can access, but which the device cannot sync with Google. (Phew!) Not exactly elegant, and I dislike having a Google Account attached to the device. Later, I shall try deleting the Google Account to see if it allows an initialised calendar which i can access, but I doubt it.

Please note: After reading a little, this problem is not related to Insanity and it thus in my opinion off topic. If anyone wishes to discuss it further they could PM me instead.

Well you persevered and hopefully you will enjoy this wonderful slick rom. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] forgetmyname:
This ROM has changed the whole i9100. It is a powerful and stable beast.

I have been very impressed since I started using it (even when I had teething spontaneous reboot problems). The change in DPI to 182 is one of the most important features for me. On top of this its CM based, and I have awaited 1.5 years to try CM out.

One thing I have noticed is that the captivate buttons sometimes either: stop working and remain unlit, or change colour to light bluish green. Rebooting is s temporary fix.
