Great rom like always, coming from Checkrom v1 with speedmod kernel.

now with Checkrom v2 and hellcat kernel, the benchmark score is lower but I don't really notice any performance drop whatsoever, guess benchmark is overrated : )

no significant issue I experienced yet, except for the SNS FC , which is solved after Cache and Dalvik wipe.

Thanks for the great ROM again : )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KLozzy:
Maybe so......

I'm also running ADW Ex, and i've noticed the same thing. Seems to be lacking a little snap I had with v1.0 and CF-Root kernel.

I've even had a few stutters scrolling in the app drawer.But i''l give it time to bed in and then make a judgement.

CRR v2.0.0

Siyah CRR kernel. v2.1 DarkKnight

Ur wrong here.

Even though dk kernel uses cwm5 with it you can flash updates successfully but with the old version of cwm5 Hellcat kernel thete is a problem.

So u can use dk kernel and flash content via the kitchen.

I left my phone untouched yesterday night when I went to bed with 100% battery and it is down to 44% now.. as you can see. there s not much wakelocks on it. but the phone never really went into deep sleep all the time I think.. the result are same regardless whether the data is on or off..

I'm using the 2.0 with dk kernel. no uc/oc done

I really can't think of any reason. used to be having superb battery life with Leo s 2.6..

any idea on this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] inferno17x:
I flashed Checkrom Revolution HD version 2.0 last night from version 1.0 and left it charge to full overnight.

Everything went on smoothly for the new ROM feels fast and snappy with the latest Siyah kernal.

So I went on to monitor the battery consumption from 100% to 99% it takes 47mins which is higher battery consumption than version 1.0.

So I tried to confirmed this results again by charging it to full from 80% and that's true that from 100% to 99% it takes 47mins.

So I went back to version 1.0 with the same kernal and settings and do a full charge again. From 100% to 99% it takes 1hr 11mins.

I have been using version 1.0 since Check has released it and it has always been the same battery consumption from 100% to 99% takes 1hr 11mins or longer.

So for me I feel version 1.0 has better battery consumption over version 2.0.

It may be due to higher performance on version 2.0 which ends up higher battery consumption.

But this may varies some other might feel differently.

Short performance review on CRRHD V2.0.0

CheckROM is by far the best ROM out there for Galaxy S2.

My day 1 on v2 for the past 6 hours going great with all the mods installed from kitchen and Icecream sandwich theme. Honestly I have not felt any difference in performance, IMO it is as great as CRRHD V1.0.

No FCs, reboots, hung ups, what so ever. Browsing, emails, navigation/menus are as good as previous version of this ROM i.e. buttery smooth and snappy. The only area in the whole device usage which gives a slight laggy feel is opening a new received sms. However I am still checking on battery life with push mails and WIFI on for the last 6 hours and battery reads at 68%. I am getting mails and also replying to these mails on frequency of 10/hour. Running my office from home ;)

I am using:

SiyahKernal v2.1 rc3,

Bios boot image,

Camera Mod with hardware buttons and CD quality sound rec,

Transparent Dialer,

Call record + blue call screen mod,

Screen Capture Mod,

FuguTweaks,

Gtalk w/video,

Samsung Vlingo,

ICS theme (with TW launcher/ICS launcher removed),

ChainFire3d drivers,

SetCPU (default scaling @ lulsactive 1.2Ghz)

Some bench marking there and my S2 is flying... find attached some eye candy below.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mhburney:
Guys, excellent work on the new ROM. Installed it without any hassles, updated to the DK kernel, and things are working well, generally.

As some have said, I'm also noticing a little lag using LauncherPro. The screen transitions are a bit choppy sometimes. Also, I've noticed that when I reboot the phone, the screen is kinda locked for a minute or so. It's a few mins before I can start using the menus and scroll thru the screens.

Another few things:

I cannot install a boot animation (want the PC one). I've tried installing it via the Kitchen, thru Recovery, alone, with other stuff - nothing works. I can hear the sound, but only see the regular GSII bootup screen

I cannot seem to install the Muvesur (sp?) mod for the MMS. I can still only add 10 people to the list and then it won't let me add anymore. Again, I've tried installing it manually via CWM without any other mods and still nothing. All other mods work perfectly for me ... no issues. Just this one.

So, other than these 3 things so far, I don't have any complaints.

Can't comment on battery life since it's too early and I've gone thru a million reboots already. Will drain it out for a day or so and then see what I get. Not getting any major partial wakelocks - the biggest one is the IMO chat client.

(Totally unrelated - any recommendations on a chat client other than IMO or eBuddy? - Thx!)

Again, thanks for the great work guys and thanks to all of you who take the time to help all of us out - much appreciated! :)

Kitchen FC

Hi,

Just got my SGS2 and installed your ROM - everything is great except for one thing. I can't get the Kitchen app to work. It only shows title 0 and then a message appears than an update is available. When I click OK it says it's downloading and a few seconds later it just crashes.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the sd card - I do not have an external sd installed, only the internal. Another thing that led me to this conclusion is that through Settings I tried to delete all cached data and got another FC.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eeegamer:
I would be very grateful if someone had an idea or other experiences. Thank you very much"

There is no problem with v2.0.0

Just change the kernel to the new dk kernel and see for you ur self.

Hello.

Just installed this ROM and looks good till now. Love the "base ROM + add-ons"concept. Thanks for all the work and time spent creating it.

Only one small glitch: when receiving a call the screen stays off until I press the power/home button. Is it an interference between the lock screen and the unlock-pattern?

Flashed this ROM yesterday, also with DK kernel. Charged it before sleep, left it and when I woke up (maybe 1 hour ago) it was still at 100%. It has been in Deep Sleep all the night. No problems with that.

My Android OS percentage is 3%. I haven't ever had such value. I mean even when I used a phone very moderate. With previous kernels, when phone stayed at night Android OS was more then 30%.

Everything so smooth here, very fast and stable.

Great job, very very satisfied. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bungknees:
I'm pretty sure it was cf root for ki4, but I would suggest speedmod kernel, its f%#%ing good.

It's nothing to do with the ROM. It's Google issue and some applications are region restricted. Use Market Enabler to change the carier and download the region restricted application.

Why can i not download the kernel via smartphone? I am on CR 2.0, hellcat-kernel, browser tells me "download unsuccessful".
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
Right some interesting and conflicting feedback from people regarding this ROM and Kernel, initially after flashing this when i rebooted after the boot animation the screen just went blank and only a few minutes later did the enter PIN number appear, i had no idea what was causing this i went back to Touchwiz 4G from Go Launcher and it hasn't happened since yet im still not 100% that Go Launcher could be the cause.

ANYWAY GC asked people to test the Kernel on various different things so here goes,i did only flash this last night so still early enough to be completely 100%.

I used the phone for about 7/8 minutes in this time, this is with data enabled so im impressed with battery life with this on standby.

Here we have CPU spy, Deep Sleep was at 83% which isn't too bad but with version 1.0 and Siyah Kernel (i cant remember which version) i got 97% deep sleep.

I'm not generally into Quadrant and benchmark scores but as GC asked people to test here goes, i froze SetCPU (i usually always use SepCPU) so this is the just the Kernel.

CF Bench
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hitendra72:
that's quite interesting because in crr 1.0, wifi drained battery quite a bit for me.. i have just installed crr 2.0 with the dk-siyah kernel... let me see how it goes...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cheewaca:
All of us have the same problem with browser. Try "Download All Files" app.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dwarfhero:
Have you tried disabling fast dormancy, dialing *#9900#

Reading your statistics, your phone is only in deep sleep for approx 3 hours. Your CPU is processing at 100mhz and 800mhz for longer than it should be if you aren't using your phone.

Also your battery suggests that your phone is also suffering from far more wakelocks than you think. Try resetting your betterbatterystats.

Turn off your sync for most of your programs, see if that helps. Wifi also drains battery faster than with it off.

Hope this helps. Getting very decent deep sleep with 2.0 and speedmod kernel. Good luck!

Guys if you have problems installing mods from the kitchen app do the folllowing:

1) download the mod/s and manually install them via recovery (this works 100% and tested).

Or

2) install the dk kernel and kitchen app should install the mods.

The rom is top notch... but much better if the mods can be downloaded without the kitchen app.
