[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmrv94:
hi, i bought my sgs2 a couple of weeks ago, and well at first i thought it was due to some bad data/energy configurations but i don't seem to find a way out of it, first of all my battery lasts 10 hours when i don't use it, maybe 5 when i use it (use the internet, make phone calls, text, chat, play some games and not much), second of all, my phone signal/reception to make phone calls or 3g just works for moments, i have tried several working sims but none seem to work so its definitely some antenna or phone issue, plus it gets hot for no reason, and when i play 3d games the screen gets really really hot, so hot that it burns, i already tried changin roms, kernells, configurations and everything, im really dissapointed with my phone, and i havent seen much people with these issues (besides the battery one) so i think my phone its factory damaged, what do you think? whats your recommendation? please help me, i really don't like to waste money and there goes $800

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Others reported battery performance similar to yours. It may have something to do with your cell signal. The SGS2 doesn't like certain carriers or particularly weak signals. That could be the cause of your 2/3G issues and your battery drain. If you post where you are and what carrier you're using maybe others can tell you their experiences.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmrv94:
Yeah sure, i live in El Salvador, my carrier is tigo, i bought my phone unlocked, maybe someone else has had similar issues related to 2/3g signal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Try one of the stock(!) 2.3.4 based FWs, XXKG2 or XXKG3.

If things don't get better it might indeed be a HW fault, talk to the shop who sold it about it for replacement/fixage under warranty in that case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
Yes, OP - just make sure you reset the phone with "the jig" if you suspect the shop will be checking how many roms you flashed violating warranties.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmrv94:
and how do i do this, reset the phone with the jig? please instruct me :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdalez:
you can buy the jig from online sources. all you have to do is plug it in while its off

I came to understand that Dr. Honk's original version of Bali was not working on the new update to the SK4G, so I took a break from my Lockscreen project and ported our kernel up to the new update. This is the same Bali kernel, but for KG2, rather than the old KD1.

THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON KG2, NOT KD1

For features and details on the tweaks included in Bali, visit Dr. Honk's thread.

Credits:

Supercurio for all his work on the Voodoo project

Dr. Honk for the original Bali kernel - This is just a port of Dr. Honk's earlier Bali kernel, posted Here

This is a flashable zip, so just place it on your sdcard and reboot into clockwork, and flash the zip.

Download V1.2 here: http://www.multiupload.com/RD1VBE3GV9

Changes in V1.1: Edited default.prop to enable root user in ADB, checked for init.d

Changes in V1.2: Found my failure, readded link to voodoo scripts in init.rc, and readded init.d support.

This has been tested by myself and ayoteddy, if there are issues, let me know and I'll work on getting it fixed for you whenever I get a chance.

Thanks a bunch for making this work. I'm still running the stock ROM and this has made it a lot nicer to use. Even Firefox loads quickly now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jabrutal:
i flashed this on my stock kg2, said the install was successful. looked at About Phone, Kernel version is 2.6.32.9....is that correct?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Sduvick did not change the kernel name when he was compiling it , it's Bali-V2.2 though .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ishred11:
this didnt work for both times i tried

system mounted

or system unmounted

i didnt work .. please help cause nothing wont install on my phone. d
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
You don't need to check mounts for a kernel install, that won't make a difference.

What do you mean it didn't work? what symptoms?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ishred11:
it goes though the lady saying stuff and the last thing she says is boot animation activted and i wait ten mins after that and it still stayed on slash screen. when i take battery out and try to reboot it says system unavailable, so i had to odin.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
What rom are you using?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ishred11:

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] fredulus:
Does this have init.d support?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Yes it has everything the original bali for the sidekick has
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] fredulus:
Weird doesn't seem to apply the init.d tweaks!

Can anyone confirm it works?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
It's built into the kernel, I promise.

What tweaks were you trying to add?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] fredulus:
The ones in gingerclone. Sorry if I am upsetting anyone I'm just noticing that they aren't being applied maybe I'm doing something wrong? System/etc/init.d and all permissions set? Oh, and im using your KG2 deodexed/rooted rom.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Give me a couple minutes, i'll reboot and check my config. I've been meaning to upload an update with my default.prop changes, just been too lazy/busy to do it. should be up within about an hour.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I will shortly, but I haven't yet. My config says that Init.d is enabled, but I've never used init.d, is there any way to confirm whether it's working or not?

Edit: it's been updated, check the OP.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I updated the OP with v1.1, the only thing I changed was some default.prop settings to have ADB root. @fredulus, init.d has been working, as people have been using the V6 Supercharger script, which is implemented as many init.d scripts.

Cool ima add this to my rom

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] fredulus:
I use supercharger script too but have to add it to run at boot because it wasn't keeping minfrees on reboots and the sd card speed init.d isn't being implemented either which is a easy check. Other than init.d everything else seems to function properly with kernel.

I'll check out new version 1.1 and see if it works.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
How were you checking if the sdcard speed fix worked, so I have some way to test on my side while I work on it?

Idk if its an issue or not but it still doesn't say BaliKG1.1 for kernal id in system info lol I know its minor but I thought you were gonna fix that too :-P
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I didn't change the name of the kernel, not worried about it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ishred11:
how long should it take to flash bali for KG2?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] John_2k2:
it took me about 3-5 min just wait and it should boot
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Flashing takes just a few seconds, rebooting takes a bit longer. If it's converting your partitions to EXT4/lagfix (Linda voice) then it should tell you the ETA for each partition, usually around 5 min or so. If you're not converting or already on EXT4, then it should just take 3-5 min to rebuild your dalvik-cache.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ishred11:
Well I don't know. Waited about 15-20 mins and it still didn't finish. I didn't play with mounts or anything I just flashed for orange cwm on KG2. I tried 3 times already.. I'm on stock rom because I can't flash any other KG2 Rom. Can someone please help?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
how can i add this to my rom like emplementing it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Open up the zip, copy the zImage in the kernel flasher folder into your updates folder and replace the old zImage.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
what about the other two files
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
redbend_ua is the flasher, and .gitignore is used by people using the git system. don't worry about those.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Don't worry about the other 2 file's if you need help message me but if that don't work open my roms updater-script & take the kernel script on the bottom to be on the safe side.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Datlilboricua:
got it thanks alot guys
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Found an epic fail in my original build, basically it didn't call init.d or the voodoo tweaks...

fixed it, rebuilding now and will up it when it's done. Sorry about the fail guys, this next update should make things wonderfully fast and smooth!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Holla , so init.d wasn't working when on this kernel ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Haha nope, but will be working shortly.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bc54:
Was the the kernel used in your/ayoteddy's rom touchmuiwiz? And if so, should just be a no wipe flash, right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
you never have to wipe if your flashing just a kernel
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bc54:
thats what i thought. i knew no full wipe/factory reset, but was unsure about cache/dalvik cache. thanks for the info though
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
no problem, and you could wipe caches if you want but i usually dont and never had a problem
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bc54:
cool, cool. after my first softbrick, just thought EVERYTHING needed cache/dalvikcache wiped. learning more and more each day though.

so, just to confirm, this was in touchmuiwiz?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
yes, anything that used BaliKG, that is any custom rom on KG2, had this kernel, so it had the same init.d issues.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
OP has been updated with the link to V1.2, fixed init.d and voodoo scripts.

The screen means your phone is recoverable.

1. Pull the battery again. Disconnect the usb/power cord.

2. Slide open the keyboard.

3. Press the #1 key and hold then press the power button. Both must be press at the same time. Release when the download screen comes on.

4.Fire up Odin and either reflash the same file you did previously or EG22 like suggested in post #2. In Odin, make sure only "Auto reboot" and "PDA" are checked.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] TechnoNeto:
In build.prop you can tweak a few things in gingerbread to modify certain things.

For 1080p recording go into root explorer and find build.prop under /system/ open in text edit and find ro.media.camcorder and change 720p to 1080p.

to enable hdmi mirroring find in the same file the line that says ro..hdmi.mirror.enable change false to true you have to have the apk installed and this will also interfere with entertainment center

note: reboot is required for these to take effect if anyone has anyother tweaks please reply.

Edit: sorry but you need to use root explorer!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
This build.prop app can be used to tweak the setting as well. AFAIK this app will allow you to tweak the majority of the build.prop settings without using root explorer etc.

How do I change the file from "read only" when i open it it says read only?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
You have to be rooted and have superuser. Thats the only requirement for this app that ive found.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] velvetmxo:
i am rooted and have superuser, but it tells me it is read only...hmmm doesn't make any sence
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
I just removed app from superuser, uninstalled app. Re-installed app,upon launch it asked for superuser permission, allowed, tap Open*.prop file then tap /build.prop. That should gain you access, if not something isnt right.

Anyone else have this issue???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] TechnoNeto:
In the top it says read rw or ro click that ro is read only rw is read write
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shirzadians:
Im also having this issue (rooted with root explorer granted SU). Im not quite understanding your workaround. Did you uninstall root explorer entirely?

Also, I read somewhere that enabling 1080p doesn't increase the framerate, resulting in a quality of recording less impressive than 720p. Is that not the case here?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tikerz:
I'm confused, which number should go where? First you say 250 on delay and then you said 20 on delay. Lol.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
I reinstalled to see if it gave me the read only error that others are getting and for me after I allow superuser permission i have full access to build.prop. I personally use File expert. Its free and in the settings you can select root explorer and then choose the mount option. Let me turn off root explorer in file expert and see if i can get the RO message.\

*edit* No RO only message. Changed back to RO in file expert, un installed file expert, uninstalled build.prop editor, cleared data from superuser. reinstalled build.prop---asked for superuser-allowed-full access again. I dont have anything special on my atrix. Just running alien 1. I ran this on Froyo as well.

Edit: deleted incorrect info
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:

175 --> delay
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I think Everyone is a little confused here

...

This thread is mainly to reference doing these tweaks using the "Prop Editor" app as discussed in OP...

You can use Root explorer but why when the app is in the OP and that is what he keeps referring to...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Small number is distance large number is delay...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Dirtburgler:
Nice catch! I figured they were trying to use the app. If they are using file explorer then their issues make sense lol.

It should use 30fps regardless of 720p or 1080p. I would also recommend adding a brand new line for 1080p with double the bitrate. You can modify the line to also be 60fps - I will test this when I get home.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
This does not give you real 1080p recording. I have proven this in two other threads now. Just because it says 1080p in your camcorder, and picture appears to be 1920 x 1080, the file size is substantially smaller than that of the exact same clip recorded at 720p.

If you people want to keep on touting this as giving 1080p recording...........go ahead, but you are just fooling yourselves..........or as I have previously said, looking for bragging rights with your friends who are none the wiser!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] KefkaticFanatic:
I believe what was clarified before is that the 1080p tweak did record in 1080p resolution, but only at 22fps or so, resulting in the smaller filesize.

Caelan, it would be nice if you could try and make a post that doesn't flame somebody.
