i have a question please

in this download link : http://checkrom.com/threads/xwkk5-2-3-6-checkrom-revohd™-v4.268/

it says that thid download for the checkrom HD v4 is a non wipe version and that if i come from another rom i should download the full wipe verson but i cannot find it anywhere

or , is it enough to just wide data , wipe cache , wipe dalvik and then install this rom ? is this considered a full wipe ?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
There is no "wipe" version.

To make it a wipe rom Wipe data, flash v5, wipe data, reboot....all in that order. (Recommended)

No need for wiping cache or dalvik as this is done automatically during the rom installation.

V5 is great Rom. It is smoother than others. But i will wait jkay mode.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hammersuit:
I would just like to say thank you. this is my favorite rom installed to date, since I purchased my GS2!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KeesStolk:
Sorry guys, the link i have placed for the new rom is down:

http://www.keesstolk.nl/rom/XILA2_CheckromRevoHD_V5.zip

It was generating to much traffic according to my host.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eseregin:
Version 5 works fine.

Didn't do clear data, so you can save your apps...

good idea go to mount and storage and format system.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anshmiester78900:
Im using V4 and not able to install anything from the kitchen .. i just goes to the cwm after download and just reboots after 2secs tried deleting old data and all but nothing helped ..!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shingo86:
Hi just curious, any reason for repeating the process twice? I follow the step and everything is gd i am just curious
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Never done it twice as

in my opinion are unneeded steps.

Never had a problem on the many flashes on SGS2 and DHD

Edit: maybe Leo or GC are just trying to make a point, only they can say for sure.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KeesStolk:
I think it's just to make sure, nothing is left behind that can interfere with the new rom.

If it's necessary.. at best, it's only cost you a minute :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] A5J4DX:
wow the first familiar face i see from my LeeDrOiD DHD days and yeah it was odd for me to see it repeated although thought it was a copy error
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Good to see you here over at CheckROM. You'll find a good home here. Still sticking with v4 atm and not tried the test v5 as yet. I love JKay mod, so can't part with that, no matter how smooth v5 is reported to be.

Still got the DHD, and still waiting for Lee's next release. With CheckROM so stable and phone working so well with Siyah kernel, plan to gift the DHD to the oldies with LeeDrOiD pre-loaded.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JmPTaz09:
V5 test rom is running great smooth and fast on my i777 model.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] A5J4DX:
i sold mine off for a GS2 xD and yeah im sticking with v4 atm too even though v5 sounds promising
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anshmiester78900:
Why isnt the v5 updated on first page ???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] farazafs:
The kitchen is saying that a new V4 Rom is available( Non wipe ) ? Should`nt it be saying v5 ?

Should i update the v4 via kitchen ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rinoko72:
Hi mate,

Have you looked at post #11777 which is in the thread name?

v5 is just a "taste" of what's to come, so it's not "offical" yet ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dica:
Make sure you have a suitable kernel, speedmods doesn't work with the kitchen
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
You can also flash manually:

1. Boot into CWM recovery

2. Clear cache and advanced/dalvik

3. Flash zip from sdcard..... / internal sdcard / downloads / CheckROM_revo / xxxx your zip xxxx

4. Reboot, take a couple minutes, so be patient ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omniwolf:
try battery monitor widget, it's really good.

also to everyone saying v5 is smoother than v4.. how? v4 is perfectly smooth for me :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] farazafs:
I have`nt flashed any kernel . Just install the revo4 , which Kernal comes stock with it ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
speedmod work great with the kitchen, maybe it isn't working for you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dica:
cfroot

yes doesn't work i am on phenomenal 2.2 , i have to do all the stuffs manually.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
i had phenomenal and now i have speedmod, they both worked and work great. so did siyah. maybe something isn't ok with your kitchen of something, but it should work. no problems here. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
The first is how long it lasted with normal use, could have lasted a bit more but i had to leave and needed a full charge.

And the second is how long i had the screen one, and it lasted about a day on that charge.

Great work guys, i'm on the v4.

Sent from the S2, you know what S2...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] micks_address:
hi foks,

i have my s2 rooted and reinstalled secure kernal to get rid of yellow triangle. Root was succesfull as i can run superuser etc

I downloaded the rom and placed on the root folder of my sd card but when when i reboot into clockwork recovery mode i am getting the following

copying media files

Successfully copied media files

#manual mode #

--updating application...

Successfully updated application

-- Applying Multi-CSC

Installing Multi- CSC

Cant access to '/system/csc/MET/system/'.

Successfully applied multi-CSC

then i have 4 menu options at top of screen

1) reboot system now

2) apply update from sd card

3) wipe data/factory reset

4) wipe cache partition

Not sure where to go from here: its not like in the video i dont get the option to install rom..

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Mick
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
i belive you need to reinstal a rooted kernel so that you have custom recovery, because the secure one does not have it. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] s2d4:
You are running stock recovery by the looks of it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] micks_address:
how do i get non stock recovery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
i just told you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anshmiester78900:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kickassdave:
Been a while since u posted anything in here... but v5 is fantastic. Would be brilliant if we could have a full port of the ICS keyboard ( but assuming the fancy text correction animation n such require ICS framework...)

This really is the smoothest rom I've tried yet. I really like Samsung's new lock screen and actually prefer it over the ICS one. I'm using Siyah 2.6.8 with heavy undervolting and all seems well so far.

Very little screen on time and a 20% battery loss this morning... I'm blaming it on the CPU governor though...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
Well then you must have done something wrong. But you should give more information on what you exactly did so we can help you. Did you download the file you want from the kitchen before trying to flash it manually? This is just like flashing a new rom trough cwm. You can't really do something wrong.

Hi.

I just installed v5 over v4. Now, when trying to install "Samsung Weather" widget on it from Kitchen app, it doesn't work. Widget is still unavailable :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Beefheart:
Tried V5 out, looked lovely and smooth and, despite doing a no-wipe, I didn't have a single issue or FC in over 12 hours of use so kudos to the devs. However, I can't live without JKay's mod -- I have simply gotten too used to living with my custom lockscreen and toggles/shortcuts in the pulldown and power off menu.

Besides, V4 is the best rom I have ever used so it's not as if updating is an urgent requirement so I have gone back and will wait for a proper release.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adicken:
Updated to V5 with a full wipe (just to be safe). However, my 3x4 keypad when typing messages types numbers instead of letters. It's really strange.

Anyone any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Samsung accuweather isn't included in the rom. Try the market for others. Go weather is quite good.

Running it here without problems ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] greglord:
Hi and thank you for your reply. I know it isnt included in v5. It wasnt included in v4 either. But you could install it through KitchenPro app. That's what I did on v4 and it worked.

I did the same thing on v5 and it doesnt anymore.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yeah v4 and v5 have different frameworks. You'll have to use an alternative as the kitchen won't be made compatible unless jkay releases his mods for xila2.

Or return to v4.....

Edit... or maybe try extracting the weather.apk from the v4 rom using Root Explorer and place it on ur SD card and install. That should work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] picchione:
3x4 using the keyboard you type only the numbers. bug?

SGS2: CheckRom 3.1.1 - kernel Siyah 2.5.2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] greglord:
thank you kenny
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Edited my reply above Greg ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adicken:
Yes it is weird. Instead of typing letters it types numbers.

Got round it at the moment by downloading a different keyboard.

Everything else is spot on!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
And unfortunately therein lies the problem of relying on external apps/mods rather than porting the code in yourselves. If they dont update then your main mods and theme reliance are lost.

I did exactly this yesterday afternoon. Works perfectly, Im running Vertumus' ICS Domination v1.8.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] InnAl:

Reminder, don't forget it's still a previous version not official yet. (Kind of advanced beta)

The one to thanks are Gadgetchek and Leomar for providing great a new rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anshmiester78900:
Yeah i did it totally right , downloaded the package and then the kitchen app tried to install automatically but after rebooting in into cwm it just rebooted within second .. and i will nevery try to flash it manually :D plz im not that noob :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
As I said, do it manually!

1. Boot into CWM recovery ( power off -> volume up + home + power)

2. Follow my previous manual instructions I posted.

Couldn't be more simpler......
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anshmiester78900:
Yes mate i did it as u said and still it didnt worked for me :(

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pardinha:
If the v5 is XILA2, then it isn't ICS, why do you still make non ICS roms??? What we need is an ICS rom... Pleaseee.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
What we need is for people to stop talking on XDA about poor quality ICS leaks, so in turn I can stop dreaming about the proper release at night.

ICS is still not at stable stage and I'm already getting bored of it. :(

[Galaxy S II Android Development] hshah:
Because GadgetCheck and Co don't work for you and therefore don't need to listen to your pointless whining and meet your desires. I think we all want ICS, but then some of us have the common sense to know that they must have a good reason for not releasing one... which if you learnt to read you would know what it was :mad:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kickassdave:
Can I ask what exactly are you expecting??? ICS is still very buggy and because kernel sources aren't released there are a whole host of mods etc out there that can't be updated to work yet. I can't even be bothered typing anymore.

Also, you tell me, why is it better? Go on....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
cause Gingerbread is how can i say just bread with ginger on it...it is yuk:eek:

now ICS on the other hand is yummy. Icecream sandwich is just soo tasty:p

hence why ics is better:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shumo:
i don't understand

why do i need to install v5 first in order to install v4 as i want it ?

or did i miss something ?

let me ask you in another way ..

If i want to make a clean install of the v4 rom ( i am coming from another rom )... is it enough to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache etc and install the rom ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
Yes that's enough.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
Well you never know how noob somebody is. But you shouldn't install it automatically. Download trough kitchen and then boot into recovery manually. Chose install zip from sd and go to your downloads folder. Inside there's a checkrom folder with your downloaded files. Don't know what shouldn't work this way.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shumo:
thanks

one more question please

if i want to install another baseband ( modem ) after i install the rom .. do i need to wipe cache or anything either before or after i install the modem file ?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Do the exact same procedure for a clean installation of whatever from u like;) no need to wipe cache etc as the rom installation does it automatically.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
It's not necessary. :)

Of course i know that ICs is buggy and there are no kernel sources out. I am not whining, its just a small remark on my part, the justification should only be made by the ones responsable. I'm sorry if i hurted any sensible minds...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
V5 is a better rom than v4...so its justified already !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gorjess:
lol, look at how many people replied to this post :D

because there's no single ICS rom that is stable for S2.. Pleaseee this question had been asked hundreds of times since v5 preview.. people are too lazy to recap pages :mad:

if you're looking for ICS roms you just arrived at the wrong address.. Pleaseee go here instead..

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kickassdave:
Sorry if I came across as aggressive before. I don't see the need for it so much. A well optimized/themed GB rom such as this one will do everything perfectly without the bugs and still look good.... but anyway, back to the main topic.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wizard83:
Please can someone port the revolution theme on this v5?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
it can be done yes. but like others say you will have to use the KL1 framework. with that though you lose other functions of the current rom and jkay mods some of those functions will not work either..so your best bet is to wait till jkay updates his settings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wizard83:
Ok, thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rampler:
If i go to setings / language and keyboard and i tick on samsung keypad settings, nothing happens. Same with swype settings. Is this normal ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pardinha:
I agree with you 100%, that's the primary reason that i have CR HD 4.0, but i'm all about changing my sgs2 so i'll give v5 a try as soon as jkay is integrated. Cya.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
No its not normal. Try reflashing the rom with a wipe afterwards.

Also There's no swype included in v5. Download from the market.

installation aborted
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Don't use rom manager first of all, it is incompatible with SGS2s.

Secondly, did you visit Chainfire's CF-Root thread and download a stock rooted kernel from there?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] micks_address:
sorry guys, apologies - i should really read more! i had put the kitchenpro.apk on the sd card! downloading the checkrom zip file now - do i just extract that to the root of the sd card? i removed rom manager from the phone

I think the best is checkrom as well...

- fully customizable;

- the best kitchen app (very well organized, nice graphics)

- revolution theme + revolution dialer, for me the best theme ever;

- very stable, fast and smooth;

- LeoMar is italian, like me :D

So, this is a very personal opinion, you have to try and choose, I know it's not easy! :p

For some reason on v5 i can't use any other ringtones or SMS sounds other than the stock tones. Everytime i try set one from a third party app (like zedge for example) the app fc's. I've tried a few apps now and all of them fc. I've tried wiping the apps data etc and i did a complete wipe when flashing v5.

Would Anyone have any idea why this would happen?

Thanks to the developers for continual updats and support to this :-) Much appreciated!

Questions:

1) Facebook calandar Sync is not that easy. Is there a way to not use social hub? I believe you can get a link off the actual website, but is that the only way?

1.1) Is there a way to join many contacts with data from FB? at this time you cannot edit sns details? (the slow way is to have a name already created in the exact name string and then manually join them)

2) Can the stock dialler be modified to search contact string/numbers just like the stock messaging search?! Dont want to use dialer app as its just app-bloat IMHO.

I loved OmegaROM... will try this out for a few days, currently running on V4 as I'm not too keen on Beta testing things and waiting for a new version of Jkay :)
