Yes it has. But it drains more battery when idle. I compared a little Syiah 2.1.1. and Speedmod K2-16.

I went sleep last night at 02:00 and woke up at 11:00. That's 9 hours and there was no battery drain. It was at 31% and it stayed at 31% when I woke up.

I use SmartassV2 governor no overclock and undervolt.

With Speedmod I never reached such result.

And also one more thing.. with Speedmod there is Android OS percentage always at 18-22%. With Syiah is 3-4%.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] domchik:
Could you maybe please add RTL patch for this version to the kitchen? Thank you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zoobihoobi:
It's not about less AOS percentage, Actually it's hidden and Siyah is presenting it differently. See the post about AOS bug and all things will be clear.

Okay, so I already flashed to KJ3 and already have CF-Root 5.0 in my phone... Now I have some questions :/

1. Wait, since I don't have any checkrom related stuff in my phone yet, can I still just flash this ROM, or do I need to install that provided kitchen .apk file first?

2. I know about titanium backup and what it does, but I haven't heard about CWM and kitchen backup... What are they used for? What about nandroid backup?

3. Assuming that I'm already in CheckRom ROM right now, can I just flash the stock ROM (i.e. KJ3 for me) to go back to original condition? If not, are there any additional steps I need to do?

Sorry for the long post :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] firas1886:
No you can just flash it directly by going into your recovery (by pressing vol up, power and home at the same time) then choosing install zip from sd card, going to your checkrom 3.1.1 zip and installing it

Cwm is the program that was installed on your phone when u rooted it, you can find it in the app drawer called CWM which lets you access clockwork mod for samsung devices.

kitchen backup is taking a backup after you installed the Checkrom's kitchen app, it also lets you take backup similar to clockwork and cwm

nandroid backup is a backup that is done from clockwork recovery, and it includes everything on your phone from apps to settings to ur current rom, its your safest oh sh*t worst case scenario backup.

I am not sure about that, but you can always go back to your nandroid backup, or find a stock kernel & stock rom and flash those from CWM/clockwork, it will return your phone mint condition all you need is a sticker to feel it's new :P

No worries, we've all been there :P

Hello andrie i saw your signature that you use siyah kernel ( smartassv2 ) ?? can you advise me :cool: ??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
yeah. i use siyah 2,1,1 with smartassv2. i got 50% left after 1 day and 5 h, 1h 50 min display. and AOS at 3%, but even when used speedmod, i got AOS at 44% or higher, the battery lasted 2 days. so i wouldn;t worry to much about it if it lasts longer than 24h.

flash siyah , used setcpu, smartassv2. and see the results.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

it is posible . i got 2 days , 4h screen on time. and had 12% left. depends how you use it. what's the signal, and other stuff. but it can be done.

Ah, so what does CWM backup actually stores then? Because I don't think CWM backup works like titanium backup nor nandroid backup...

Lol, do I also need to do these wipes as well?

- Wipe Cache

- Wipe Dalvik-Cache

- Wipe Battery Stats

Hi Guys,

Been using Revolution Rom and then Check Rom now for quite a while and never really had any problems, ive done a clean install of 3.1.1 and since my Data Connection has been very slow.. At work in the office my connection used to be preety rapid but since 3.1.1 ive noticed that its now quite slow, Emails,Facebook,Twitter etc take 20 Seconds+ to update where as before it was almost instantly

Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem? and what can be suggested
[Galaxy S II Android Development] paulyluca:
There are a lot of factors involved. First of all, what ROM, kernel and modem you use, what governor and CPU settings you have. Battery is also affected by how many apps you automatically synk and how many are set to refresh periodically. Signal strenght in your area is also affecting battery life, as well as some settings, like brightness level (obviously), HSPA, 3G or EDGE, how many e-mail accounts you sink etc. I am sure there are many more i miss right now.

For example, I had until yesturday some serious drain with version 3.1.1. Unplugged charger at 100% and, without touching the phone, without even turning the screen on, the level dropped 10% in 2 hours.

I found out, after cheking everithing I did different since I upgraded from previous version, I found out that syncronising phone contacts with the contacts from FriendCaster was the fault. because I want my contacts synked with Facebook, I installed SNS support from Kitchen to do it and disabled the contacts synking trough FriendCaster. now everything is back to normal.

My point is, if someone experiences battery drain, ther are a lot of possible causes. So, the only way to find the cause is to digg deep, test various settings, check all your programs and, of course, do a lot of reading in the forum :).

I think this is due to modem you use. With this ROM is KI1. Corect me if I am wrong. Try other different modems from Kitchen and then compare..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PureLoneWolf:
Superb, I have been waiting for this.

I am on Shades of Dusk at the moment...presumably I need flash the Restore theme from the Kitchen before flashing this?

As I am running Siyah, does anyone know if I can just flash the restore theme direct from CWM, as I see people getting problems flashing from the Kitchen..With Siyah

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noed:
Siyah 2.1.1 is fine with CWM 5 and Kitchen.

The restore package has so much stuff in it, it's almost like flashing the ROM all over again...

And we made to page 666 :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nyunyu:
I've been there. Internet was seriously slow on 3G and my cell network was weak. At that time I was using KI1 which is bundled with the ROM. But, after changing my modem to KI3 everything is perfect.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] haranbh:
Guys, I'm loving this ROM.

I'm using the 3.1.1 version, with the XXKI4 modem + Siyah Kernel 2.1.1.

The battery life is AWESOME !! I'm 6hrs on battery and only dropped 4% and I use the screen brightness always on max.

This ROM gets more awesome with the GO LAUNCHER EX. Super fast, and beautiful!

BUT... I can't set the full screen caller photo like the video on the first post. I do all the steps, but it doesn't work!

That's a slightly worrying statement....to what extent? What does it affect? Also, does it matter that I am on 2.2b9?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jetpackjeff:
I'm just not sure how the development is sectioned here I guess. Not to take anything away from the development, this is the best Samsung custom Rom I have used. I just thought it meant original development like AOSP and custom kernels.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
the restore theme does away with any mods that were instaled. to what the rom was when you first flashed it. all mods form the kitchen will be gone. sms, contact and everything else will be safe. if you have .salt file on the sd card you should be ok, since gadget said that it was added in the rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PureLoneWolf:
I don't have a .salt on the SD...I don't have an external SD yet if that makes a difference.

If it just removes kitchen mods, I can re-install them no problem :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
if you don't have an sd card. its ok. but read a little on this thread, this matter has been discussed at lenghts, and there might be more info. again there is a problem with cmw5 if you have external sd
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
It's original due to the kitchen app and kernel which is currently in beta

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PureLoneWolf:
Ah ok, yeah..I saw that issue - CWM 5 has the option to install from the internal SD - but looks for the external first. When I flash from the kitchen, it sits there for 20 attempts to mount the external SD, then times out and looks internally. Presumably, if the external is there, it would mount it and only look for the downloaded kitchen file there and fail.

So, luckily...I went for it (after a nandroid) and now I have my fave theme installed again :)

Not much difference on features or performance... just the base ROM changed from XXKI4 to a newer XWKJ3.

I did unzip both 2.0 and 3.1.1 and compared using a diff tool, there's not much difference in the source.

You may want to upgrade anyway, since 2.0 Kitchen has nothing after 3.1.1 release.

Anyone else having problem with slight lag after phone have been running for some hours? Im having it, and tested alot of different kernels thats been great and smooth before, doesnt matter if i use CF-root, speedmod or siyah. Smooth at the start, after a night of sleep when i try some homescreen scrolling it aint as smooth.

3.1.1 w Vert's ICS theme.

Other then that great, screen been on for 3h 20min and battery is at 50% and phone for 12hours always with 3g onww and wifi for 2hours. Even if i havent used it very hard (no games) and mostly for setting up homescreens and downloading apps from market and about 1hour in xda app if it keeps doing this the whole charge it will be the best result by far ive had yet. This on siyah 2.1.1 undervolted to phones minimum values.

Unless these devs can hack the drivers for things like gpu bluetooth etc. Keep in mind it's taken team hacksung months of development with Samsung support and they still don't have a fully functional version CM7 on the SGS2 yet.

But does a2dp bluetooth work? Fm radio? Do games run that demand high use of the gpu? Camera with 1080p video recording? Video playback? TV out and mhl?

All this stuff is closed source, Samsung are the guys with access to the information needed to get a fully functional rom running. There have been very few updates this month compared to previous months and I'm sure this is because they are working on giving us ICS and hopefully very quickly.
