You have to install the insanity kernel first to get CWM 5. Don't know the why, but you have to :)

And before you flash insanity 57, I recommend to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Few days back when I flashed Insanity 57 I haven't done the wipes and I got bootloops, so back to CWM, wiped that, installed again Insanity and everything works great.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
speedmod has allready cwm5.

all you need to do:

make backup of your rom(nandroid backup or titanium backup of all your stuff)

-wipe data factory reset

-wipe cache+dalvik

-format system

-format system

-install insanity

when boot takes long no panic, can tka some time on first boot. when rom doesnt bootup,install insanity agaiin.

Any news on when to expect the first insanity ii beta for ics? Cyanogen 9 works pretty good from what I saw, but I refuse to change back to cyanogen just for ics. Need insanity iics ;D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hnernes:
I'm soon replacing my trusty I9000 with the I9100 and I'm flashing insanity as soon as I get it, but most likely my new phone will have simlock. Does anybody here know if the "nv_data.bin" file gets replaced when flashing insanity (or any other custom ROM)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adyscorpius:
It doesn't affect your efs partition in any way, hence the nv_data.bin

Just make sure you still backup before flashing..

Hey Nitr8... where r u.. no new updates (no weekly update yet)..

hope ur testing with ur next ICS bulid
[Galaxy S II Android Development] enel_:
I think that's because the CM team is focused on developing CM9, there is no that much work and developing around CM7 so there is no much new stuff for nitr8 to make new updates.

Insanity ICS CM9...hell yeah this would be awesome :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] surya_mca:

totally agreed...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hacksome:
CM9 is under 'closed' source dev for now. Once they open up, probably we will see Insanity ICS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
There is an insanity ICS but only nitr8 has it.. he has started a new venture and so his time is tied up.. maybe in the future there will be more.

I have a doubt ... Insanity doesn't come with a Fileexplorer built in right? And I can't transfer files through Qtadb or DroidExplorer! Help?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
Thats a STRANGE statement.... what are you trying to do? there is a filemanager app in the rom, there are many filemanager apps on market.

Nope, just read your post again and it makes no sense at all.. explain please

[Galaxy S II Android Development] OrrPenn18:
Sorry I was all in a hurry :D

I'm like confused. There isn't Gallery and Filemanager app when I install Insanity 57 ... I download the file twice, both from the thread and the site

Don't know what's wrong with my phone! :confused:

Get the from nitrality.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hausmanis:
sorry for my bad english but does that mean that this rom is discontinued?

I dont have 57 to hand but there should be FileManager and Quickpic.

If not get Quickpic FREE from market and as said before theres loads of file managers free on market.

Trojan, no file manager installed with the rom but available through Nitrality as I'm sure you know, same goes for the aosp gallery.

Sent from a Phone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CROrION:
1) When i find quickpic on market it says my phone is not suported. Tryed changing DPI to 240, same thing.

2) There is no AOSP Gallery in nitrality.

3) Got 3 random reboots in 1h, installed it with full wipe, data wipe, system wipe, dalvik wipe etc, same thing.

However rom seams realy fast!

EDIT: Most apps in market give me "Youre device is not compatible with this item"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
1. Did you clear market cache/data after setting to 240 dpi?

2. AOSP gallery or 3D gallery, can't recall specifically, point is there's a gallery.

3. I never had reboots when I was Insane. Perhaps extract dmesg or kmesg.

Edit: in case I'm on crack and my memory is failing me, attached is the the AOSP/3D gallery, although as per usual it can be slow, QuickPic is the best option.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonno92:
This is probably a n00b question (Sorry, I'm still learning, but will endeavour to help others when I know my stuff!)..

I have a 2.3.5 SGS2 which I installed cf-root on a couple weeks ago.

When I boot into CWM mode it says the CWM version is 5.0.27 or something.. Is this going to be a problem? Or do I just go ahead and flash the kernel and zip files using CWM?

Also, I watched the videos in the 3rd post of the thread - looks like the fastest ROM I've seen for the Galaxy S2 so far! However, I prefer the stock Samsung look - is there a way to change the theme to something that looks more like stock?

Cheers!! ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JuanDeaux:
You should be fine, maybe you will have to flash insanity twice to get it working, don't flash the kernel as it is not up to date

Question, how is it that at a dpi of 160 with Hyperdroid one can have full market access? While on insanity we need almost stock? Has anyone else noticed this?

On the topic of dpi, can Nitrality be updated to allow dpi's this low? Instead of having to manually adjust the build.prop
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I believe theres a new market version which doesnt care about dpi.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
160dpi??

i tried it, and the layouts/designs became ugly. mostly because, the whole design of insanity is modded to work with 182dpi?!

well, on xda i saw a tweaked market apk which is multi dpi. never tried it because i dont use market often.

I’m not sure if this is a bug, or a setting issues.

Is anyone experiencing the same thing?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
when you mean from flight-mode -> nondlight mode, then i have the same. but thats not the rom problem. in my case it comes from my provider. i called them once if its normal and they said yes. kinda like the modem for pc. callings are aviable fast, but data connections takes longer as registration to the net depends on location and how good signal is.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
yesterday i lost phone signal 2times - no carrier signal - and after a few mins signal was back, but data connection was back nearly 5mins later. because i drive the same location today again i will check if ki3 modem is faster with reconnecting as kp8.

yes i use the cm9 signed kp8 modem and no problems.

Its definitely network related, I have done alot of test with 4 different service providers. The modem makes the biggest difference, I'm using KH3 and it has given me the best results, but it varies by network.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Garry_:
so..im out of the signal-hole. tested ki3 and network was back nearly instandly. so like the post before me, you need to test around which modem is best for you.

i will stick to kp8, b/c at home its the best for me.

Font is fine here but to be honest I don't remember what it is any more, You can see in that shot of my settings, definitely not stock. Kernel is Siyah with color set to video, sharpness to movie. That's about it, everything is legible and clear

Yup, I just switched modem, looks like it helped. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chenghiukin:
This rom is awesome!

My standby battery life is really amazing. However as soon as I start web browsing the battery drains like no tomorrow. I would lose 30% of my battery in one hour of web browsing in my daily commute. Is that normal?

Should I reinstall thje rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ogk-slay:
If it's display using up most of the battery (in battery usage) try using an inverted browser (black is now white, white is now black) or the red RenderFX widget. Also if the brightness is really high try reducing it. The screen sucks a lot of battery... Especially if it's white and bright.

Translation: Nitr8 is/has worked on it, but is busy with work currently.

I'll add that CM9 (the base for this ROM) is still an alpha, but is progressing fast. The post quoted above doesn't say for sure when/if Insanity ICS will be released.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hausmanis:
alright thx for explaining, leta hope insanity gets continued since its so supperiour to other roms i mean what rom would you switch to if insanity was dead? ; (
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
No need to get bummed out just yet. There's no stable CM9 to base it on yet, and not much has changed in Gingerbread lately, at least no major device specific fixes that would warrant an update IMO, especially with ICS in the picture now.

I'm on CM9 for what it's worth (01112012 build, not to be confused with 01112012-2). Works well for me, although there's still functionality that's not there, or needs to be fixed, but it's my daily driver.

i'm currently on XXKL1 stock with CF-Root kernel. flashing the Insanity kernel with CWM 5 gave me assert errors; deleting the assert lines gave me an abrupt "installation aborted" with no reason specified

downgraded my CF-Root kernel to the older ones to get CWM 4, can't mount SD card to flash.

/edit: flashed Insanity kernel, now can't reboot into recovery but get a kernel panic. reflashed to CWM4-powered CF-Root kernel to get CWM 4, flashed Insanity + kernel again, still having a kernel panic. this ROM is as insane as its name...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
I do wonder why you flashed the kernel if you already had CF Root, all you had to do was wipe, flash, enjoy.

My advice at this stage would be to ODIN flash CF recovery and then straight into recovery , factory reset, then flash the rom..

DO NOT FLASH any other kernels until you have it working.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] inspiron2:

Or another way:

flash a Stock Rom with pit file and old bootloader (kh3), install cf-root, wipe/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik/system, flash insanity - mibby you need to flash twice when stuck in bootloader - and be happy XD

In the end you can flash another modem.

i'm using the ICS PIT file...could this be the culprit?

when yes then thats the problem.

Thank you -Great Rom

A million thanks to the creator,This is perfect for corporate use.

First of all must say this is the best Rom i have tried , i was on turkbey before.

The battery on stand by is awesome but when i start browsing the net it drops like crazy.I manage to get up to 13 hours which is strange as turkbey used to give me like 18 hours.

Insanity Rom is a keeper for me, this reminds me of ultimate droid i had on my HD2.

Should i try a different radio,(I am from Bangalore can anyone tested suggest)

Should i try a different Kernel (I was on void.echo and neak lately, will that work on this or the default kernel is better )

Also market does not pull the results right as iam unable to even search google maps.

If found most of the apps say its not compatible due to the multidpi. Any thoughts ?

I miss the GB keyboard.(Or finger keyboard)

Is there any way i can change the lock screen(like a GUI)

The gallery takes a long time to load my picasa pics which is strange ?any thoughts.

I would not mind using this rom with a extended battery.But if some one can help with the above it will be great.

Follow these 3 steps:

You need to (1)uninstall calendar from nitrality, then (2)delete the content of the /sdcard/insanity/nitrality folder. Then (3)install calendar from nitrailty again.

Odd, I see no reason for a release, other than for minor bug fixes. In my opinion its pretty much perfect. (only functionality missing in HDMI out via MLH, and as far as I know the bugs were no video recording and sometimes the wifi did not connect, but easy to disable and enable it).

Otherwise, no problems. Great rom. Still used daily. I cannot imagine changing for quite some time (months and months and months).

But its not insanitys problem. i have it even on stock sammy rom. allready tried different kernels and other stuff to track this problem.

If your statusbar is messed up, you should install a different theme. Just install ThemeManager from Nitrality app, download/install theme from market or other source and try it with your fav.DPI.
