2 issues can stop mods installation/flashing via kitch

a) default hellcat droid kernel -- you are not on hellcat now.

b) CWM 5. You need to have CWM 4 to install mods from kitchen. Ideally speedmod should have given you CWM 4 if i am not worng. But i would insist you to check the version of your CWM.

Alternately try clearing data/cache of kitchen app and uninstall and reinstall. Also try removing cached packages from settings of kitchen app pro before trying downloding mods.

If nothing works as a last resort you may want to try a full wipe and reflash the ROM.

1.Enter CWM perform Data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition.

2.Good to do a Dalvik cache wipe too from CWM.

3.flash zip from CWM.

4. Go to kitchen app and download speedmod/cfroot/DK (any thing apart from hellcat)kernel this should enable you applying mods via kitchen. Default hellcat will not work.

Ofcourse do nand backup before you do any thing just incase.

Good luck. I cannot figure out any thing more.

I bet your mother would be proud of how you word the post on the forum....... NO NEED !!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] devilkin:
You don't need cwm 4 to install mods from the kitchen anymore. The hell cat one has problems but the siyadk one works fine and its on v5. I believe check made a slight tweak that makes v5 work. But some kernels clearly still do not work

HELP

I've just installed the latest ICS theme from the kitchen and I'm stuck in boot loop. I'm just getting the splash screen.

I've gone into Recovery mode and tried clearing the cache, but that hasn't helped.

I'm worried as I don't have the ROM Zip in my internal memory, so I'm unable to reinstall. For some reason I'm unable to access the external card.

Is there a way I can access the external card through recovery to resolve the issue, or if not, how would I go about sorting out the problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
hade the same problem, so i flashed lithning rom with odin, the flashed checkrom over it, because i also didnt have the rom on my internal sd card
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dexter.:
Search becomes kinda broken when there is 10 versions of the ROM i the same thread. If I have a problem, now, that is simular to a major bug five versions ago I get a lot of hits with totaly irrelevant information...

siyah 2.1 just released update (2.1.1) to fix issues with lag

is this coming to DK too???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] midreestaj:
I still have not found mental rest with battery consumption of V2 :(

Although changing kernel to Siyah2.1.1 made things better especially deep sleep battery consumption.. I found using WIFI still drains it like speedily...

Kernels checked so far: Siyah 2.1 final, 2.1.1, RC2, RC3, DK kernel 2.1 beta1

Going back to Siyah beta 16 ... (one reason to do that is, although performance was flaw less and smoothest on siyah 2.1.1, my benchmark scores have died in CRRHD v2 no matter what kernel I tested from above mentioned).

you can mount your phone from recovery with "mount usb storage". Its in one of the sub menus, I can't recall which. Then just copy from the pc

OK even bigger issue

I flashed the ICS theme by Vertumus and my phone crashed a minute after the reboot. Pulled out the battery and rebooted, same issue.

So I restored a CWM Backup, but suddenly my home button doesn't work anymore.

I went into CWM, did a factory wipe, dalvik wipe and cache wipe and installed Checkrom again.

Still the same issue. My home button doesn't work at all.

So basically i'm screwed right now because it's an important button :D

Any help would be very appreciated

I can confirm there is no problem with vert's them on v2.0

File system errors in kitchen app

CR RevoHD v2 here. After some freezes (probably Siyah's fault) and a reinstall of the rom, kitchen started giving me "File System Errors" after downloading and before rebooting to install. I saw a post about this where someone suggested that the phone may be incorrectly rooted. Mine seems ok on this front (as far as I can tell). Any other ideas? Devs, please?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ExilHh:
Thats the version of the cwm app...go to recovery mode (Volume up + Power + home) an check wich version you are running.

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

everything ok with your efs folder (including IMEI)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] boober78:
I haven't check any efs folder. What should I do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tvhak:
i sometimes have it to if i flashed a kernel.

reflash the kernel does it always for me.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] d3xophen:
yes kitchen app dosent work well though i install with CF root kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
Firstly chech your imei number by dialing *#06#. If it's blank then the efs folder got corrupted during the flash.

Shouldn't be a problem as the rom creates a backup when flashing.

You should have a folder named EFS_BACKUP on your sd card in side this you should have a file or list of files named efs-date-.tar.gz.

Use root explorer and extract the latest version and go to extracted.

Then go inside the extracted folder. You should see another folder named efs. Long press on this and copy. Go to the root of your phone and paste.

Reboot and you should be working.

The Imei seems to be correct. I flashed different kernel - but still no luck. I've extracted efs folder from the backup, but still no luck. I want to avoid flashing new rom and wiping the system. Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davelinders:
EFS folder on the SD?

What if I deleted that folder?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
It might be your sim has failed to register on boot. This can happen when your phone gets warm during flashing stuff. Leave your phone for 5 minutes to cool and reboot.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
Do you mean you've deleted the efs folder on the root of your phone or deleted the efs backup folder on your sd card?

If it's the latter you can use the rfs back up in the kitchen to make another backup

Is this a serious post? Since I use this ROM exclusively I don;t find the need to go hunting around for another SW that may be better. I APPRECIATE the notice of another promoting his kernel. Its far better than

"Waaaaa I am losing 1% per hour of battery life" when they have a device with interchangeable batteries and supposedly live where their is electricity right in the walls!!! Or post completely useless benchmark result posts. You would think people live in the desert with no possible way to charge and/or cannot afford to purchase a $16 battery...THEN want great benchmark results on top of 5 day battery life for those long treks across the desert.

Then there are those who MUST have battery chewing useless eye candy Bootanimations then complain because the best Kernel for batterylife doesn't support Bootanimations.......Amazing.

I invite others to post notice their work where I play rather than having to seek it out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] damirbusic:
Is there a logical explanation why developers make every week new version and why there is not one custom ROM that is 100% bug free ? Just curious, I really dont see why are people so happy when they flash phones and EVERY time they get some bugs, errors, black screens etc ? Ive had OmniaHD phone before my iPhone 4 and now Galaxy S 2 and HyperX had custom ROM which had better battery life, better camera, was faster, looking better and it was COMPLETELY bug free. My bro had RevolutionHD on DesireHD and it was 100% bug free. What is the problem with Galaxy ? I know at leat 10 people around who dont want to mess with firmwares every 5 days, is it impossible to make bug free ROM after 200-500 pages of testing and feedbacks ?

I really dont want to offend anyone but I am just curious why is Samsung so hard to work on custom ROM, I mean, a lot of ROMs look perfect and nice but then I read 10-20 pages that every one has other problems and it is not working. HyperX had beta testers and in one week you get completely working ROM, I was beta tester for some mods there, not ROMs.

Tnx

Firtst of all i'd like to report a couple of modification necessary to have a working openvpn configuration on the phone.

..and then i have to report a little problem..

I have installed the ceckrom revolution 2.0 with the DarkKnight kernel v2.1 and my theme is PureBlue v 4.2; the problem is that when i select "jkay AOSP Deluxe", the six shortcut on the lockscreen don't work..

If i swipe on the shortcut the program that i've select don't start..

I've read that my theme support jkay 12 and i've tried the Mixed Blue theme with the support for the new jkay 12.1 but i still have that problem..

I've reset my jkay configurationand reboot the phone but with the shortcuts i can only unlock the phone..

Someone have a solution for this kind of problem..??

actually its the kernels fault that comes with the rom so technically its the rom thats at fault
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
First of all SAMSUNG (and every other device makers STOCK FW is not bug free hence the updates....

This ROM is pretty bug free.Especially for an early version...

.Its the USERS that have all the bugs

. I flashed REV over COg without wiping, then tried the kitchen and was careful to chose a theme and STICK with it. Then flashed This ROM over Rev 271 without a wipe or Davlick clear, battery reset.....Flashed a few kernals (BTW no need to clear dav when flashing kernels) ALL preformed well. Battery life differences were nothing to worry about. The ONLY issue I had going back to 271 was losing SNS syncing of contacts. Reflashing a Nandroid backup of COG and them 271 over it cleared that up. That said I will not flash ICS Theme...number one I don;t care for it and number two I have already selected the theme I prefer and many are having issues with it because they are likely not reverting or don't even know what that means.

People are using the Kitchen without thinking;;;Flashing Themes over themes. They do not know what they are flashing and how it will affect their current setup. They do not understand the differences between I/O Scheduler settings and Governor settings and worse do not want to LEARN anything.

They want to flash and complain.....then run "benchmarks" that have no real world application significance or complain about a couple hours less battery life.

People are their OWN issue. The ROMS are great as evidenced by the amount of downloads and LACK of issues. Same questions, Same "issues" 99% of which can be solved with a little more learning and a little less flashing.

These Devs KNOW THEIR STUFF. The understand what a real bug is and what a temporary annoyance is.

When you read of a problem look at how long the poster has been posting. Read some of their history of posts and you will find what is real and what are USER BUGS
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noed:
Some want to achieve highest benchmarks with this phone, just because it's possible... no matter if software crashes.

Others are just not happy with battery life, with reason.

Mix both, and you get ROMs and Kernels unstable, without a clear objective of performance or battery autonomy.

Then there's noobs with crashed stuff asking over and over the same question... because there are questions to ask!

if you're pissed off by "unstable roms" - flash stock or buy an iphone...
