Latest Changelog:

v1.4 - 23 September 2011:

Battery stats wipe?: You must wipe your battery stats in ClockworkMod for this release, since we are using a new kernel battery driver.

Data wipe?: A regular data-wipe is only necessary if you have problems (as usual).

Hotfix 1 [24 September 2011]: Fixed wifi tethering (reverted to v5 supplicant - should not reduce wireless quality as we are still using the newer WEXT driver); fixed stock FM radio; improved FM radio volume code (thanks to OuNao); improved FM audio quality (reduced hiss sound).

Updated CyanogenMod source.

Deodexed ROM: you can now install the full Google Apps package if you desire. Keep in mind that your first boot after upgrade/fresh install will be slower compared to previous versions, but regular boots will continue to be fast.

Patch to prevent S2E from applying bad filesystem tweaks (won't interfere if you don't use S2E).

Linked /cache/download -> /data/download by default (so all users can download large apps from Market, even if not using an app2sd method).

Kernel: Updated battery driver (based on tass_battery.c 2.6.35 kernel driver) - this should reduce battery drain and prevent the phone from staying stuck on 99% battery for extended periods. Note: your battery stats will be erratic for one or two charging cycles - make sure to wipe your battery stats to help this process.

Wireless: new driver with Wireless-N capability & better signal (based on Atheros source from Samsung I5508, with patches from 2.6.35 kernel).

Updated to wpa_supplicant v6 (awext -> wext driver) & reverted to CM7 dhcpcd. This restores wireless signals to Froyo levels.

Kernel: Updated fsa9280 USB switch driver (from 2.6.35 source).

Kernel: change default TCP congestion control method to "veno" - should improve wireless reliability, especially if there is wireless congestion in your area. It can also improve wireless throughput under normal wireless conditions.

Enabled hardware-accelerated 2D rendering (note: this feature wasn't working properly in the previous test hotfixes - it's working now, and there is no graphical corruption).

Various small bugfixes....

no battery drain pblms here...:):):):)

hope i helped...

[Nexus One General] existonz09:
the old Market v2 could download multiple apps at the same time but the latest market v3.1 downloads 1 app at a time.. is there a way to make the latest version of the Market download multiple apps at the same time ?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
No. Besides it won't go any faster for you.

Say you get 3mb/s download. You download 2 apps, 1 at a time, it takes 10 seconds at the full 3mb/s per app to download. 20 seconds download time.

Now say you were to download 2 apps simultaneously. Each App would only be able to download at 1.5mb/s. taking twice as long. 20 seconds for each app (at the same time) is still 20 seconds download time.

They reason they changed it is that on slower data connections, multiple apps downloading at the same time could actually cause downloads to time out and stop, never downloading the app like it should.
[Nexus One General] existonz09:
oh.. but i just prefer the old way of multiple downloads. i tried rolling back to the old market but it auto updates back to the latest after a few mins.. sigh..

hi all

how can i convert ftf bundle into rom or to its system dump?

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
1. Open the .ftf file in some sort of archive manager and extract its content. You should be left with a bunch of .sin files.

2. Find a tool called SIN2IMG. Use this tool on system.sin. You should be left with an .img file.

3. Open the .img file in an archive manager and extract its content. You should now have all of the contents of /system for you to play with.

Pretty sure that's how to do it...

Sent from my x10, rocking Wolf's 2.3.3 + DooMKernel, overclocked to 1.2 GHz...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynameisnafe:
So with SIN2IMG I just bash in 'SIN2IMG system.sin system.img' ?

And I assume to to repack it, you repack up the /system folder into a .img, use a tool (maybe sin2img?) to convert it to a sin, then re-archive it up as a .ftf using same archive manager?

I'm using 7z..? Would like to have a butchers really, see what's changeable.

Random Question.. could one push binaries like su or apt-get to the phone by stickin' em in with the kernel/system images?

Many thanks!

2) phone have been laggin n freezing when i press settings or i open some apps it slows down n lags n nothing shows...

The only way to fix this problems is to do a restart on the phone

If anyone else have experience this let me know, maybe i have a bad phone n need to exchange it

Has anyone successfully cooked on Swift Star??? I am super familiar with UOT KITCHEN and for some reason every time I try to flash it goes through says its applying the framework but the end result is always a bootloop...I have used the kitchen on virtually every other rom with no issues Im super confused:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ek07:
is like he said you have to put the zip on the the clockwork/backup on your sd card then reboot into recovery full data wipe and cache wipe then go to restore and choose the zip file there enjoy !!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] frescoraja:
this post makes no sense. you don't seem to understand the OP or know what you're talking about (you don't install zip files through the restore function in cwm).

to the original poster, I have only used the UOT Kitchen to customize the boot animation on my Swift star ROM but it worked fine for me. Maybe try changing one category (like just battery icons or fonts) at a time and see if you can get any further.

Good luck
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidDude21:
hmm ok thats a good idea.Ill give it a go and see if that works.Thanks for your post..hopefully I dont get another boot loop..I heard others getting boot loops as well I will post my results as soon as I cook and flash again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidDude21:
Same result..Stupid Boot loop..If anyone could give me the details of what they are doing different to get it to work I would appreciate it..its frustrating to say the least...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ek07:
well i was talking to androidDude21 about why he got a boot loop u seem not to understand his question , thats how you intall that rom he is asking about ok
[T-Mobile LG G2x] frescoraja:
Sorry eko7 but i think he already has installed the ROM and just needs to know why when he alters it with UOT kitchen he is getting boot loops. Didn't mean to offend. I admit I came off sounding like an ass.

androiddude- I just tried changing the battery icon with UOT kitchen on my swift ROM and also got the boot loop. wish I was savvy enough to debug the issue. Let us all know if you make any progress. I would really like a battery icon that also shows the % of charge in this ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidDude21:
Running out of Ideas

Yeah I definitely already installed the rom..lol I dunno how that was even in question...not to be rude.. but yeah I have tried numerous times the only thing I can think of is maybe I have to upload the touchwiz files too even though I dont use it..its a long shot but when someone asked about it the Dev said that any mods can be made in UOT kitchen..Unfortunately I don't have enough posts to post a direct question to the Dev in that forum :(. I like Swift Star a lot but at this point I might just give weapon 2.6 a go because I know you can definitely take that to the kitchen..Its a shame though cuz I really Like this Rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ek07:
ok sorry im new at this but im learning sorry i dont speak all that geeky language lol but my question is are ya tryna customize the rom you own way right??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ek07:
i know how to change the battery icon is easy just use seven zip the png icons are on the system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AndroidDude21:
yeah basically i just wanted my overscroll glow to be blue, change my download bar and loading icon to blue as well to match the rom but every time I try even one at a time I run into a bootloop so I PM'd the Developer hopefully he gets back to me and ill post what he says..

First time rooting / installing rom quick question

Looking to flash phone to villianrom 3.0 from what i read on the 2.4 version older posting it says to root with CF-root first. In the new 3.0 version posting it says it includes Ninphetamine kernel and the instructions assume you have clockwork mod already and can install zip from sd, Do i still need to CF-root before running 3.0 or does the Ninphetamine kernel Root automatically from the 3.0 zip??

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
You need first of all a kernel wit CWM then you can flash custom firmwares through it from a .zip-file on your sd.

The new version will bring root with it through the kernel but you are not able to flash it unless you have CWM if it comes as a .zip-file

So for the first time flash a rooted kernel that includes CWM through "Odin" and then you are free to flash anything you want through CWM.

Hope that answers your question.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Could this be a problem I am having

I have rooted my phone and copied villianrom to my sd card.

When I go through CWM and delete wipe does that also wipe my root?

When I try to install the ROM i keep getting error messages
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Did you install the Ninphetamine kernel first...

I just flashed Frankensten kernal and downloaded ROM Manager from market
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
im not to familiar with Frankenstein kernels. what you should of done is rooted first your phone with one of the CF kernels..do that through odin..that will get your phone rooted..once you do that then you can flash any rom you like but always follow the guide from the thread of the rom you going to flash

EDIT: if you flash CF-root your rooted..go to development original and go on the thread and follow the guide...its through odin if i remember well:D its been a while lol but once you do that you will have all the perks of been rooted...

once you do that download the rom you want and just flash away through recovery or CWM manager....but do your reading and back up your rom first before you do flash

Excellent

Thanks

So If I flash that Kernal and then install villianrom through CWM then it should work and still be rooted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Nope that isn't CWM.

Jep, follow the steps for CF-root, then from the rom and then all will be fine and with root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Once I have flashed the new ROM will I need to install i new Kernal or will it be included?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
it will be included:D

Now that you are rooted back up the rom first before you go ahead and start your journey of flashing...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Ok think I am getting it now, not sure why I am so stupid this time as I have rooted my Hero and Orange San Francisco first time around.

One last thing.

Is ROM Manager and CWM the same?

I have ROM Manager installed and my phone is rooted, can I not just flash the CF-ROOT from my sd card?

Instructions - If you already have CF-Root

- Copy the zip file to your SD card

- Stop sharing SD card with computer over USB, unplug the cable, etc

- Applications -> CWM -> Flash kernel. Select the ZIP file on your SD card.

- Done
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
I think RomManager is just an app that can flash roms, do backups and other things by using CWM.

But I'm not that familiar with Rom Manager so I don't know much about it.

As I said I don't know what things you can do with RomManager but I would flash the kernel with Odin, thats the save way.

For the instructions...I think that means if you have a previous version of CF-Root and already have CWM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
So installing that Kernal will not cause any harm if my phone is already rooted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
No.

Even if it would you could just flash a stock firmware back again and start from zero.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Thanks for all you help

Another thing I have noticed is when I wiped my phone it reset itself as normal but all my media and photos where still there even though I copied them over to my sd card just incase, is this normal?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
No problem.

Jep that is normal. It just wipes your system. If you want to wipe your phone of all your files and reset the system than you need to do it with a combination in the dialer. *2767*3855# but watch it...the process starts right after you insert the # no question if you really want to!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
That's cool.

Dont want to just wasn't sure if it was working correctly.

Dont have anything to really back up so will do it all tonight once home from work

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
dont ever use Rom manager to flash anything or back up anything....Im not slagging it down more to the fact its the one who lets me install the great CM7 rom but if you guys read and thats what you lot should do (read through the threads before you do anything) CWM manager is the best way to back up roms and flash roms....

giving you an example...you download a rom to your handset..i always do it directly from my phone with out the use of the pc...anyway download it to your phone then open cwm app and go to were it says go into cloworkmod and reboot phone into recovery...wait for the phone to reboot into recovery and then you have menus...scroll to the one were it says apply update and then click on install from sd card..scroll to downloads choose the rom and then scroll down and say yes and let recovery work its magic..

but before you do that always back up your stuff and rom

Could I just flash the CF-ROTT through my handset without using a pc?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
No...

You can flash anything when you have finally CWM... Not the 'app' but the menu that comes up when you boot into recovery.

Stick to what matriak said before. Thats the safest way.

At least not just the 'app' alone...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
I dont believe that this is the right one for you because ki3 is the most recent firmware and I dont know if anyone has it right now in the official world.

Take another look at your system information and then choose a kernel that has the same release number.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
if you done your reading you would know you will get CWM manager once your rooted.:rolleyes: you will not get it through the market.

again flash the kernel you want through odin follow the steps given in the opening page and then you should be rooted..once the phone reboots you will have the CWM application..follow my guide that i gave you at the top and you should be fine:)
