Upgrade from CheckROM v2

I have been using CheckROM v2 and KI4 modem / Siyah 2.1.

I was trying to upgrade directely to CheckRom v4. I'm using KitchenPro. The upgrade process works well, but afterwards I have lost my Baseband and IMEI. That is Baseband is Unknown and IMEI is also Unknown. I have to restore the EFS information and restore the CWM backup before I can get my phone up again.

Anyone else had the same problem? Does it mean I can't upgrade to v3 first?

Thanks for the help.

No you can directly update to the last version, i have this problem once but resolved it by rebooting my phone

Hi GC & Leo,

Confirmation number: 1UT35941CN677183J , not a lot, but something to spare.

Cheers :cool:

Edit: Boy, glad I found CheckROM, never looked back since !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Harsha Raj:
I have just plainly installed the CheckROM v4 with full wipe and I also get a beep and a vibration when when the network sends me a pop up regarding balance. Anything can be done about this? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GadgetCheck:
humm that can be resolved if vibration is turned off!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hansation:
please upload stock camera on the kitchen.. thanks

Hi. I scanned back a few pages but couldn't find, or maybe missed this if it's been mentioned.

CheckROM RevoHD 4 installed okay, as did Verts ICS theme. All working well at that stage.

When I installed the Speedmod kernel, CWM Manager 3.0 failed to work fully stating that (basically) I need to have the CF-Root kernel installed for full functionality.

Any hints?

Cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
CWM Manager 3.0 works with siyah and cfroot kernels only AFAIK.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bala_gamer:
Gadgetcheck, you told it is related to ics domination theme, have turned off the vibration, but its not solved. Clarification pls
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zekurosu:
I think its stated in speedmod thread that his kernel only provide CWM up to version 4xx ... i believe i've read somewhere that u can uninstall CWM 3.0 and replace it with CWM 2.0 apk ... or u can just boot to CWM Recovery like i always did hehehe
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adicken:
Cheers mate!

Q: I'm currently on a previous version of this ROM how do i upgrade to latest version without loosing my apps and data ?

A: Follow the steps below

Remove Android related stuff from the internal SD Card (what's this?? all .apk files or something else?...rest understood i just want to avoid bootloops :o)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] remus1710:
Hei... everything is good with this rom until i restore my sms with sms backup and restore and then everything crashes and i can t use the phone... what can cause the problem?!

ps: i have 7000+ sms... but with leo s first rom it s all good and yes i kmow to untick that option in sms to delete when i have over 200 :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jdonk:
I've had this problem when flashing with the charger plugged in. I also use siyah.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcadam:
This ROM just keeps getting better, even the auto brightness is no longer psychotic :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
It's a known issue with SpeedMod kernel, try SiyahKernel 2.3 instead. No issues with CWM Manager 3.0 there mate.

Hello GC and the Dev-Team,

My appreciation for your masterpiece,

Confirmation number: 168048510N340114F.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Harsha Raj:
Yes. Having set the vibration to "never", still gives an vibration when there is a popup.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mredfern79:
I'm using that theme and don't have the problem you mention.

It's probably an app specific setting. What app is giving the pop up when the phone vibrates?

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] micpang:
I just flashed again. Rebooted a few times.

Now the baseband is not KI4 - no KK5.

Anybody knows how I can get to KK5?

I can't even find KK5 from KitchenPro
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
There is no KK5 baseband.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JaX3RiR:
Hey! I've two questions, so I hope you don't mind. I tried searching for answers but couldn't find anything relevant...

The first one is general: I like using my SGS2 at 160 dpi density. Is there a way to make the stock dialpad scale properly to the full screen, or is a 3rd party dialer my only choice?

And the second one: I was using a USB gamepad with the stock ROM, but now I realize that I can't use it anymore as it isn't even recognized by Android. I've been led to believe this has something to do with USB-OTG support and the kernel, so is there a kernel that is both compatible with CheckROM and USB gamepads?

Thank you very much for your amazing ROM, it truly is a masterpiece.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
There is something called changelog in the second post of this thread. Do you guys even read it. :confused:

Build.prop tweaks

Jkay v13.2

Hardware Acceleration Enabled (GPU UI Enabled)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GadgetCheck:
Ans 1: use nitrality app

Ans 2: Kernel find the kernel u were using b4 and install it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GadgetCheck:
Yup i was wrong actually.

If u have vib on and sound on those the beep and vib is normal and vice versa in 2.3.6 you cant do any thing about it.

U dont want it turn off vib and sound ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hirokoboi:
I read. i flashed to v4. But jkay was not updated to v13.2.

Anyway i have gone to the jkay thread to update manually.

By any chance anyone noticed that vibration became weaker?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PureLoneWolf:
I did a full wipe to V4 last night and my Jkay is 13.2.2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] devilkin:
Give this a try. It's helped me when this happens. Go to titanium preferences, set app processing mode to auto, indirect. See if it helps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hirokoboi:
Ic... maybe that's the reason. i did not do a full wipe...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hamkeng:
If you don't uninstall jKay app before you do a non wipe update, the jKay app will not be replaced (updated).

If you after a flash find an earlier version of the jkay app, just uninstall and find the 13.2.2 version in the rom package in \data\app.

You probably have this package in your sd-card. Just install the apk.

Anyone having problems with the camera mod? pink spot is obvious in white objects. not happened before installation of this mod..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Harsha Raj:
Thank you. But I dont have any themes installed and have not installed any apps to give me a pop as such, its a OS realted one.

Thanx for the reply. Here is the result:

1. Only Sound off: No beep

2. Only vibra off: Beep + Vibra exists

3. Both sound and vibra off: No beep, but still a vibration when pop up comes.

hi i have a question

i already searched and did see that al lot of people have my problem to. but

i didn't found a solution.

my problem is that wifi is connected and wifi sign is colored. after a while the sign says its still connected but it is not colored anymore and there is no Internet.

i have to put wifi of and on again. and then its okay.

i am on v4 dk 2,3 kernel. have it on other kernels to.

on v3.1.1 dk2.3 kernel no issues
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KeesStolk:
No problems here with V4 and DK 2.3+.

Maybe a app, like some powersaving app is doing that?

If have read posts about busybox breaking down wifi.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tvhak:
thanks for your answer. i have no power saving apps installed.

going to look @ the busybox

Transparant Widgets Pack

I have installed the 'Transparant Widgets Pack' (tried twice) but I cann't find the widgets to place them on my (home) screen.... they don't appear on my installable wigdets?

Suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zekurosu:
no issue here either...wifi works like a charm...im now using checkrom revo hd4.0 with speedmod k2 18 test 13
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tvhak:
any idea where to find busy box

it looks like i don't have it?

but then again it sounds very familiar to me.

Anyone having issue with the phonemod+recording in the kitchen?ftr i installed the mod i lost my phone.apk and its giving me Force close whenever i launch contacts or phone.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] CandyAndy:
Would like to try this ROM but I am coming from another ROM. First page says that install wipe version of this ROM. I might be blind but I dont' find wipe versions..also not from older version of this ROM. What to do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbutandola:
There's an app called busybox in the market. Or flash the latest CF-root kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
try this

1. find stock phone.apk and push it to your system/app

2. flash ICS theme

3. flash the mod
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dexterdave:
Thanks mate got it working:)

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Wipe version doesnt mean there a diff version, just make a full wipe in CWM before flashing the rom if u want a clean flash:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
it is a no wipe rom you could try flashing it over your current ROM but I would suggest you to do a full wipe to avoid all the unexpected errors. But if you don't feel like it make sure you do a full nandroid backup just in case if you need to roll back.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KeesStolk:
I don't use it either, as far as i know it's in the market.

Did you check your router?

I use to have some problems with my "old" i8910 and network printer when my ssid was hidden.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tvhak:
it not having busybox can that causing my wifi problem?

if so i will install it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
you're welcome :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hansation:
yes, i'm having a problem with it.. back to stock camera and i have no problems. im wishing for a fix coz i really need a modified camera

Do you have installed Samsung Apps/Widgets from Kitchen? I think when choosing transparent widgets pack you first need to have installed regular widgets...

Sileshnair I just want to say thanks for your very nice themes so far! Shades of dusk was fantastic and so is miui_mix. I just have a question for everyone that uses this theme (miui). Overscroll glow doesn't exist..(fyi in shades of dusk it existed...)..I tried with JKAY off and on again, reflashed the theme, I 've even flashed checkrom again and flashed the theme again, but it's not there...Any info on this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GadgetCheck:
No!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
That's becoz the overscroll_edge.png file inside framework-res.apk is transparent. I dont like overscroll, so i changed it. If you want it, i can make a patch for you.

Update

:

Attached. Procedure is like this.

1. Flash ROM

2. Flash miui theme

3. Flash attachment
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
Go to..

Applications > TW Launcher > clear data > boot into recovery > flash 4.5 launcher zip > reboot

and there should be no problems i done that for the 4G launcher and it worked fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] giannisr7:
Wow...Thanks for your super fast answer! To tell you the truth up to now I was very fond of blueish themes but when I saw your miui_mix (black with a pinch of orange) I had to try it! Guess what? I am sticking with it cause it's super nice and refreshing..! If you could make a patch for it I would be even more delighted!!

ps I also want to note the font you chose since shades of dusk for checkrom 3.1.1...I am not sure what it was, but it was very easy for the eyes...:)

ps2 Of course I have to say a huge thanks for Leo and GC for their hard work/dedication all this time as well...Been a user of Leo (and GC) since day one!! This rom simply leaves everything behind by miles....You guys deserve the credit..!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Harsha Raj:
Well I tried it. The beep is not an issue anymore. But it still vibrates on pop up :p I might be doing something wrong.. Here is how I turned off the vibration: Settings > Sound > Vibration > Never

If that's how to turn off the vibration, the work around is not working for me..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Chuppaka:
Hello. Question, is it normal for the network / wifi icon not to show whether the connection to google servers is on?

On all the other roms I had, if background data - enabled, the colour of these indicators (the ones left from battery) changed to green/blue (based on individual theme).

On this rom it doesnt, it is not a big deal but I want to know if it should, or not...

Thx!

Friends

Does anyone know how to resolve the partial wakelock introduced with KK5 / 2.3.6 with Maps without freezing Maps?

I've been unable to locate anything that's tracking location (except WeatherBug, which is no longer following).

I've done various searches but haven't located a solution to this well referenced challenge yet.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mbutandola:
I very much doubt that it's related but might be wrong here. Stock roms don't come with busybox. Yet wifi works. But if in doubt you could just flash a kernel that comes with an up to date busybox preinstalled (CF-root for instance) and see how it goes. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] waldzias:
Upgraded from 3.1.1 to 4.0 flawlessly.

Only one thing thing which doesn't work for me after upgrade is Wi-Fi. It works fine at home, where I've got WPA2 router but for some reason WPA2 Enterprise, PEAP, MSCHAP-V2 doesn't work after upgrade anymore. It looks like it's trying to connect but with no luck. I've tried 3 different kernels and got the same issue. Anyone experiencing similar things? Any solutions?

You can copy the nandroid backups to your PC...as long as you can get into recovery, you can mount the USB storage and then copy it back if you need to.

Worse case, put the microsd into a card reader and copy it from the PC to the card there if you need it.

So in short, no, you don't have to keep nandroids on the device.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Harsha Raj:
If you are installing CheckROM for the first time please read this:

If you want to format your internal SD card and external SD, you can do that anytime. However you must and should make titanium backup to restore your apps later if you are doing full wipe. So suggest you to format after flashing as the titanium backup is stored in your internal SD. Also the flash file will be in internal SD if you dint know that.

Nandroid backup took me 2.5 GB. You need not have it in your internal SD. Just move it to your PC.
