In order to get around the "read only", you need a file manager app that will allow you to change to read/write mode. Then you can go and delete the bootanimation.zip and replace it with whatever you want. I use Root Explorer, but free apps like Astro and ES file explorer are good as well.

Which Kernel are you using ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jroyalty7:
I believe u need to download and install modified Widgets from the tw4.5 thread becuz regular Widgets don't play nice with 4.5
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bugsaci:
I use root explorer and every time i want to change permission, i got a warning "bootanimation.zip permission cannot be changed because the file system is read only"

Im stuck! :(

Im using siyah 2.2beta 6.

I believe siyah support bootanimation :)

Hello,

I got a question about the multi CSC.

I typed the code *#272*<MY IMEI># and I see the available CSC.

If i install a new one will I lose all my app etc ? (what will i lose ?)

Does anyone know if among those CSC there is one including chinese language ?

Thanks a lot !

guys, awesome work here, nice rom you've made.

although i have some questions.

i'm come from leomar75 rom, i used things like Rudolf Animation, sakashi dialer, via kitchen app, will these mod's be available also to this rom?

wasn't it suppose to by using the CWM that comes on this rom, be abble to flash any kernel to remove the yellow triangle?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bugsaci:
Thank you :)

**Another question, deleted bootanimation.zip from /system/media.

After that i installed revolution bootanimation with CWM then restart but i still got that annoying nexus bootanimation :(

is there anything i must do again?

thank you

Kitchen dont have those animation but u can try to install it manually.

I use Bigbang ICS theme and installed rudolf animation manually and it works :)

Not atm but im sure we'll get that soon enough :)

Hey, this may have been covered before but I've searched like a retriever and couldn't find it. 2 days ago I had the 'sync' icon appearing in the status bar after every reboot and Better Battery Stats showed it was Music causing the wakelock, I've frozen it but does anyone know how to stop it generally?

Good. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iron@ss:
Replace it with XXKJ3 for CheckROM 3.1.1

Hi guys, this is the first time i want to use CR... which one do you recommend me to flash? v.2.0 or v3.1.1?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kyapkk:
Both also very good, but for me I'll go for the latest version 3.1.1.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Psilocin:
There is no reason why you should not flash the v3.1.1. Fairly straight forward install process. Just backup your data and follow the first post instructions.

The v2.0 is only there for legacy users who are waiting for some of their themes/mods to be updated or to temporarily revert to fix an issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
3.1.1

Backup apps & data before, and nan-backup with CWM. Advise, full wipe in recovery immediately before flash ROM.

Download with PC antivirus off, as will corrupt the file. Don't worry, only false positive.

Edit: Beaten too it above
[Galaxy S II Android Development] i04055:
Thank you, downloading v3.1.1 right now...

and theme new released need to update jkay to 13.1 ??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Silver420:
I did ask before but im still unsure.

I dont want to download a new theme to get Jkay v13. If I have too, What is the one that is being used on Checkrom 3.1.1 as default? Id like to keep the appearance the same, but change Jkay settings from 12, to 13.

Anyone? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vdubguy83:
Maybe copy your new (or one you want) bootanimation.zip and paste it to where you deleted the other one.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I have heard that the framework and systemui are similar across KI8 to KJ3. Backup and flash.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
You can't retain your theme and upgrade JKay alone. For that you need to theme JKay 13 to whatever theme you are running.

On the other hand, if you are with the stock theme, you can just flash.

Backup first.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] KeesStolk:
I was wondering looking at the thread of Chain Fire.

The new 3.1.1 rom is using CF-Root v4.4 (XWKJ2) because of cwm 4.

There is how ever a kj3 version, XEN_KJ3 version with cwm 5.

Now, iám verry happy with the KJ2 version, everything is running great, but iám just that kind of guy that's likes to use the latest version of it all.

So, are there any benefits of using KJ3 over KJ2?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bugsaci:
Will try that.

Any1 here have a stock bootanimation.zip file?

i have the one to use with CWM but im sure i cant paste it in /system/media.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] uppon2:
My suggestion is go back to the ROM 2.7.1 and add these files on your phone to use with the kitchen app http://leomar75.celogeek.com/xxki3/
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alcurtis93:
Cwm5 is better
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Silver420:
I can just flash the settings apk? Do I have to make any edits still or was that just for the theme side?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
That does nothing in its own. It is only used to select options. The important files are the flashable ones.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Silver420:
What did this mean then? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KeesStolk:
Why is it better?

I must say that i don't use CWM very often, that said, i thought there where problems with the kitchen and using CWM5?

Although i don't use the kitchen very often to :).

Iám more interested in the difference between KJ2 and KJ3.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rixsta:
True but vert themed the whole dialer, like good themers do..

Unpack rom and take the contacts. apk and phone. apk out and replace.. Reboot..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
I have tried cf root v5 XENKJ3 kernel and would not recommended it. There wasn't any issues using the kitchen app but I regularly had kernel panics when using this version only.

I am currently using the kernel that came with the rom without problems and great battery life.

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KeesStolk:
What kind off panics do you mean?

I think Leo and GC had there reasons for choosing this one.

Any way, i will stick to this one for now.

I like speedmod, but there to many test versions at the moment, just like Siyah.

Running CF (that came with 3.1.1) for 8 days now and not one problem so far.

Although i see some wake locks of this kernel in BBS, but they are minor.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
download the MIUI, reboot into recovey. clear dalvik and cache. flash the theme. reboot. if it doent work. reflash the theme. then instal from jkay thread the 13.1 and reboot. don't flash jkay. instal. it'a an apk.

that worked for me.

My battery life...

TWD Kernel + CRR 3.1.1
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mujodroid:
Thanks i will give it try today :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
The kernel panics are not rom related. From what I can tell/used the cf root kernel based on kj3 is the only kernel to do this. Your phone becomes unusable and displays a droid with text saying kernel panic. You have to pull the battery to get the phone going again.

This is the only kernel out of the many I have tried with this rom that has done this.

By all means use one of the other cf root kernels. In fact I would recommend them as they generally give very smooth performance and good battery life.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] str0ppy:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
You need to go to settings - call - voicemail settings for your carrier. If your on o2 UK the number is 901. For other carriers check their website for the number and enter it there.

The battery mods just change battery icon to something that suits your style. And yes, they should all work without issues. I'm currently using the blue circle mod, since it fits the ICS theme very well.

1.Flash CF-Root kernel or any kernle with ClockworkMOD recovery

2.download checkrom zip file & make sure u switch off antivirus till u transfer files to SDcard

3. goto recovery mode

4. wipe cache partition > dalvik cache> factory reset

5. do step 4 again in reverse to make sure that u are flashing cleanly

6. select flash zip file

7. select the file u downloaded

thats it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Psilocin:
Yup, had the same incompatibility issue. If you want to use the blue circle mod with an ICS theme, flash BigBang's ICS theme (see the link in my sig). IMO, his theme is far more complete in terms of themeing for ICS icons and progress bars compared to Ventumus'. Alternatively, you can stick with Ventumus' theme and simply try a different battery mod.

The real magic is actually in the rom itself. Amazing compatibility and performance.

The kitchen app is there for a convenience to have everything all in one place. But most of the mods in there like kernels and themes change so much that it's difficult to constantly test them and update it.

You can always go straight to the official thread for the mod you are looking for and get it there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KeesStolk:
I don't agree.

The rom it self is smooth, has a great battery life and so far one off the best rom i used.
