Some progress news would be great rather than wondering if this has become a dead project.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maranello69:
i did just that, finally gave up waiting, after jkay was out with its ics mods i was sure that cr7 will be also available, but it seems that the cr devs are not fully prepared to make the transition

it was good as it lasted, there are a lot of great roms to choose, without make the compromise to stay on gb

as good as cr6 was, i can assure you that any ics rom will top it.

keep up the great work guys, see you in another section ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adl:
+1

Made the jump from CR6 to Wanamlite 12 (based on LPG). With Jkay Mod there was no more need for waiting. Everything runs smooth, no force closes and battery life is just as good as with CR6 (i run Phenomenal kernel "Extreme" version, which i used on CR 6 as well.)

Still guess i´ll try CR7 whenever it will be released. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] imfun:
Guys, if you think wanam is best around here you are mistaken..(not saying it isn't, its very good :) there are many good other roms like CyanogrenMod :) I'm running Pure Look 3.1 now with speed mod kerner k3-20, with batary arround 1 day and 20h with more than normal use. running like cherry. I also recomend VK rom also with speedmod kernel. Give them a try and compare it with wanam :)

I also waiting vor v7 to hopely see this masterpice again :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fatjivi:
Of course cm9 is good but the discussion here is about Sammy based roms so cm9 doesn't qualify...I've not tried vk rom so can't really say how it is compared to wanamlite rom...also I've not tried pure look and don't know if its compatible with ics domination and jkay ...plz confirm the same as anything which doesn't run jkay and ics domination is off my list no matter how good it is :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bundi22:
lol you guys make it out as if all other roms are crap with problems and force closes.. yes i used checkrom since v3, it was brilliant, but creating a new rom based on ics will not match it in terms of performance and smoothness. yes the new features and ics apps and launcher is good, but the only bad thing in ics is the elastic scrolling which on the GS2 will never be as good as GB :(

while your waiting for v7 if it will ever come out..

install siyah kernel

primary rom: cm9/aokp

secondary rom: neat rom LPG, remove bloatware, flash jkay theme mod, flash galaxy s3 theme, launcher, apps

after this experience you should find it very difficult to revert back to GB. the new UI and features outweight the smoothness and responsiveness of GB imo

if v7 comes out, flash it as a secondary rom, then swap if your happy with it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
actually scrolling is as good as GB, with fluxi kernel. on any AOSP/AOKP. you set it up to GB. and done. and the battery is amazing. 4days with light use. 2 days with 4-5 h screen time. or 1 day and 7 h screen time. and it's tested. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
I get same on Siyah v3.2.7.1. :D

Sent from my 80GB CyanogenMOD 9 + Siyah ICS powered beast. Booya!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GregX80:
Yep PL 3.1 and WL v12 are the same rom xwlpg in fact. So don't expect that your rom is any better. I flashed speedmod 20 this morning and I'll compare battery life to siyah.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
excellent.. see people. it's possible :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] o0boiboi0o:
There are tons of ROMs out there that are good. Srsly, just give them a try (and a try I mean a real try that last at least 3 days or more. not just 1 hr!) I was sceptical too when I first moved to AOKP but I managed to overcome and I was totally impressed! Now I am using WanamLite and before that NEAT. They are both awesome. :D

+1. I really dunno why ppl keep saying the scrolling sucks and blah blah blah. Maybe it really depends on individual expectation and requirement. But I really never encounter such sucky scroll till I have to revert back to GB. Unless u are really a perfectionist, else shud be able to live with slight (perhaps) scroll discomfort.

Also, IMHO, even if CR7 really come out, they are also using the same source as other ROMs. So I don think the scrolling issue will really be gone. Well, I also hope they will surprise us! ;) Till then...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] centavar:
After all the bugs of ICS, I found switching back to CR rather easy.

For me,the stability and performance of CR GB outweight the few visual changes of ICS any day ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
Can you specify those bugs you're talking about?? Maybe I'm missing something...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] centavar:
Those are the shortcomings of your CM9 for example:

Also,a lot of people on stock and custom ICS Roms are complaining about freezing of the data network and WiFi,and also of the Live walls.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
Got a buyer for my SGSII i recommended the person leave on CheckRom but he wanted stock :confused: anyway sorry folks it's been that long since i flashed anything official im a tad confused about how i go about and how to revery to stock rom, i done a factory reset but CheckRom is still on the phone, any assistance please, cheers

Hope to see CheckRom in the Galaxy S3 forums soon :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LegendZenify:
Just flash an official stock rom via Odin. That will get it back to stock firmware.

it's ok ill just follow the instructions here :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GregX80:
Well my result is.... last night after all 12 hours with speed mood I went back to siyah. Siyah gives me much better battery life with my settings in extweaks and setcpu. I tried set up the same undervolting settings for speedmood but my handset gets freezes. In speed mood there is no luzactive so you can't change almost anything.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] imfun:
Well mate, speedmod does not support any undervolting itd..i think this is good, cus avoiding frezzes itd..Did siyah give you same smoothnes? I also think, you cant test kernel only for 12h..lool :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gundin59:
Really here does someone think to see a masterpiece in a next version?

It is impossible to live by a past and doubtful promise the best in
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jeremy:
You're not able to even glean the potential battery life from a kernel in 12 hours. Give it a couple of charge cycles before making a verdict
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GregX80:
A lot o people undervolt speedmod in tegrak so it has to support it. Speedmod works fine but I can't apply that strong undervolting settings as in siyah. Another thing is in siyah there is a lot things witch you can tweak for battery life. For example you can't undervolt isc kernels to much for 500Mhz. But can apply strong undervolting for 400Mhz. Speedmod doesn't support this speed at all. In siyah you can set 400Mhz max speed when screen off instead of 500 and only this one tweak can save a lot of your battery. If you use setcpu and extweaks u can get superb battery live. Speedmod doesn't support even profiles in setcpu. So after 12h of use I've had about 10% less battery than with siyah. I don't think speedmod can be better even if you let it settle down.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
No, I see that it will be a giant foot disease...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] imfun:
All you said is already known, you dont need to educate me. Im not an expert about setteling down but i have my own experiance, that few reharges, change the battery life (up or DOWN). I wont argue with you what is better and why.. live in your unilateral belief :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] milan188:
The day after v7 releases a Sammy 4.0.4 rom will be out and people will be begging for v8

you forgot about S3 :P, especially, from mister geko95gek thats have over two hands full, of posts telling that he is buying one, bla bla bla

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

so, i know that i might be annoying on asking this, that you might think that i dont respect the dev's work, bla bla bla bla.

i use CheckRom since V4, before that i was using litening rom, but once i jumped in checkrom, i just don't want anything else, although, i'm seeing alot of ICS roms and personaly i think its time to go forward,i really do whant android 4 on my phone, now i'm using CR V6, i really whant to go ICS android 4, but i don't whant to go to other rom, i just whant CheckRom ICS android 4, or V7 or whatever.

So, my question is directly yo dev's, and its very simple.

Dev's are you going to release a new rom or not?

can i still wait for a brand new CheckRom V7 ICS Android 4 rom, or its better if just jump on to another rom?

yes i know, you guys said that july would be a ETA, but c'mon, you're not giving us updates on the developing of a new rom.

haters, please don't hate me.

thanks in advance and sorry for my english if i wrote or expressed myself something wrong.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hondilla:
+1 ...

just quotin' polite. :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bengaal:
One the one side I hope that they don't release anything, because of the people who were moaning here all the time. On the other hand that's not fair against the people who are patiently waiting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mydonose:
Thank you for this great question :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hondilla:
I'm not moaning at all ... just quotin' and patiently waiting as suggested by you.

Look my post history and tell me about moanin' :p

Patiently waiting doesn't mean be quiet & silent.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ITRC:
True. Same here ;)

I am on this setup quiet a long time now ... but I have to commit, its time for something new ;)

Give the devs time, they are people too :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coltie:
This rom is dead!

Yes, it was the best rom, but when there werent so many stable roms, not now.

They stopped developing this great project, and when somebody asks they always tell them that the ICS isnt stable enough to make a good rom.

If you are about to excuse yourself, try better.

I dont remember when was the last update of this, its just not fair!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mydonose:
If ICS isnt stable enough, why Leo buy a SGS3 :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
I think you should put your pants back on, take a seat and wait.

If this project is so great, why can you trust the devs and give em a break.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
I agree. But to be honest, I can't believe there are STILL people waiting for this. Yes, in March I was still waiting, I left CheckROM v6 on 31th of March (I remember because it was my birthday). Maybe you could have waited in April... but come on guys, it's JUNE. For the love of god, if you want ICS, just go and flash one of the many good ICS ROMs around here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] x111:
Almost agree with you, but I'm don't waited, and tried all the customs ROM and all that I tried was sucks. And now I still hope, that developer did new version with ICS, because this custom ROM now the best.

P.S. I think, when we'll be have new version this custom, I buy SGS3 I9300. ))
[Galaxy S II Android Development] loth77:
try wanamlite 12 or an aokp rom like hydra h2O v1.4

you can't come back from them

(that's why i use both of them in dual boot :D )

with wanam i easily reach 30 hours of always connected (wifi at home 3g out) moderate use, push mails, whatsapp, viber and some other stuff always on

i come here sometimes because i'm curious to see how this CRR7 soap opera will end :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vivmar:
(this is just my opinion,so no offence)

because this is not the truth...

i simply think that GC and Leo have no more interests to develop for SGS2 (no news, nothing from march)...after a lot of mounth i can't believe that no enought stable base is out...

I am sorry too but it is useless to insist here...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adz63:
Gc has said he is now working on a new ROM... there is more to making ROMS than copy and pasting . Which is all quite a few ROMS out there are..

Giving it some beans on my blue s3
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bengaal:
I actually wasn't talking about you, sorry for quoting you. But about the people who constantly critisise the developers.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NEO Solid:
Soooo i waited and waited for the wonderful checkrom to hit me with something new but............Nothing. :(

Anyway, i would like to say a massive thank you yo the developers. Checkrom "DID" rock. Now its dead and forgotten.

BUT!!!! it did set the mark for most other roms here. SAD to come to this funeral, but i just had to say thanks and good bye. Anyone with an S2 "SHOULD" install this beast of a rom. ADIOS!!!!!!!! off to play with my shiny new s3 :)

Also, if i can live without JK? Why cant checkrom. Its a bit weird that loads of devs all depend on Jkay. If its a bottle neck, scrap it in future.

ANYWAY, THIS ROM WAS THE REAL DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] macdaddyau:
This thread is being spammed to death. All post has nothing to do with checkrom. Might as well close this thread. All I see are mostly cry babies. If you guys wanna post how great this or that ics is there are threads for those ics. This is Checkrom thread.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] therion21:
To much drama in this thread ... People! dont commit harakiri over checkrom after all is just a rom and sgs2 is a PHONE. If it was my thread i wouldnt bother post any new rom as is to much fuzz and to many people bursting ur balls as if the developers owe you poeple something.

2 comments

1. Just flash another rom wich is ICS ... and when it comes out ... it came.... no matter how many adios u said or how many posts of dead roms u post ..when it comes u gonna flash it.

2. If the developers bought sgs3 is their right to do so ..

And if they dont give a damn for sgs2 ... is again their right. Buy a sgs3 urself or change rom quietly. After all when u bought ur sgs2 u bought it with a sammy sttock rom NOT CHECKROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FrenchSparda:
Looks like Litening thread when Litening ROM was "dead"..then few months later ;).........

Everytime the same bunch of idiots always asking/spamming the same question...if you're happy with CR6..stuck with it..if you cant wait for CR7..just try some of the many ROMs available out there
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Denebola79:
Guys i need help :) i bought an usb host cable to connect my pendrive to the phone but when i connect it nothing happen... i tried to connect in another phone of my friend, they also use checkrom but also with them nothing.. its there something to do I didn't know or its a gingerbread issue?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] tomj777:
I'm probably wrong but I think the kernel has to support USB Hostand I don't, from memory, recall a GB kernel that does. Not sure if that helps. Maybe time to use an ICS ROM.

Still waiting to see what the CHECKROM team come up with, BTW: which ever way that works out is good by me. If we do see an ICS ROM then I will be a very early adopter.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sageman70:
Gadgetcheck is still developing an ICS kernel currently v1.5. I think this means it is not 'Game Over' yet. I agree with the comments about the unnecessary inundation of messages which the developers will probably not appreciate. I am currently on Dragon ICS 3.0 until (and if) Checkrom comes back....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] uppon2:
I can accept that. However. I judge people based on "Their word" - If somebody creates something and gains followers/support/donations and then says they will release a new version thus creating hype and more /followers/support/donations but then fall through with what they have said, dawdle and keep people guessing.

That is dishonesty any which way you can look at it. I don't give a crap if it is about $1 or $1000. If devs have talked something up, then devs should be prepared to back it up, or keep their mouths shut. It's not exactly rocket science. It's true that developers don't "owe" people anything per Se, however it doesn't help your image to not stand by your word.

Speaking in the real world. This would be a fast way to lose friends and perhaps some other nasty incidents to occur. I just don't understand why people say one thing but then do another. It's mind boggling to say the least.

If you want to know the TRUTH then put your trust elsewhere. Next time be a bit more Paranoid ;)

So to summarise.

1. If they already had a working ICS ROM/Kitchen and were only waiting for jkay to finish his mod for ICS then I find it a little bit strange that that so called "Ready ROM" Is still not "Ready"

2. You can trust some people

3. I am a disgruntled idiot and will wait to get flamed again :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goku80:
Many valid points and could not agree more with what you are saying. But think about it this way as well. We do not know how long it takes to make a build and make sure every mod works correctly. It could be a few hours, few days or weeks. I do not know. They do have a life as well outside of XDA and that is more important than anything else. Followers or no followers their life comes first.

Second. Hype is good. But also do not forget there was huge hype for v6 and the guys delivered on that front as well. For few weeks Leo was more than active on the thread.

So what i say to all is. No matter how long it takes be damn sure that you should see a v7. Look at what happened with v6. Nothing for few months and voila they dropped one of the best GB roms i ever tried and still in my opinion the best damn GB rom out there.

So in short it is not about misleading people and not trusting. It is all about being patient. If you want to use a different rom go ahead. If you want to stick around same thing....I had my doubts as well as i kept on saying for them to use Lidroid Mods instead of Jkay(which are free as well;)) but for some reason they just ignored that cry.

When v7 drop it will drop and it will be huge. But i think they might of left it bit to late seeing how good Paranoid rom is. But still Checkrom will be huge no matter what. But again with the S3 now will there be many people bothered about it..We shall seee
[Galaxy S II Android Development] uppon2:
I think you have missed my point. I don't use this ROM anymore. I do however like to see what is happening. I will stand by my statement 100% however, if you say you will do something, then do it! - You mention it might take weeks, days, hours. I understand this. I know how it works, the reason why I am even saying anything was because CheckROM team kept telling the users and I quote "Stop hassling us about ICS we have finished, just need to wait for JKAY to develop for ICS then we can release the ROM" Now I'm not sure about you but when somebody says something like that it would indicate that the ROM is finished and the kitchen is working (There is no reason to wait for JKAY at that point until they implement themes in to the kitchen) The ROM/Kitchen are ready Period. Once themes start being added that would be the only major time anybody would have noticed. Maybe read my post and links in detail to understand it all in greater detail :)

If they really did actually have a finished product then why would they postpone release for so long? Then say it's another month away? Then lack information of progress?

Read in between the lines guy.

I can't see myself ever going back to a Samsung based ROM. Not since CM9 finally got video cam working. To be honest I just like to come in here and say what others might be too scared / don't know how to say.

I mean no harm. Have a nice day
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Denebola79:
nothing can resolve this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jebuchanan:
I am far from an expert and someone on here surely will correct me if wrong but I believe it is a limitation of GB. I think you require an ICS kernel capable of hosting USB.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AloneOnTheDark:
Flash Siyah kernel. You can find it in kitchen app. I don't remember if there was a patch for this rom to enable usb otg. Kitchen app is the answer.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Denebola79:
grazie compaesà provero'! :)

thx i will try
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Elvispen:
Stop your whining!!

I'm hoping for a Final Release (CR7) on the S2.

If the devs manage to get anywere near the quality of CR6 it will be a blast. And probably the last rom on my S2 before perhaps moving on to the S3 when the development of roms boosted and the price is right. (Thinking somewhat about Xmas)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I do agree with you 100%! They said it was finished and even if it wasn't the latest released base they should have released it, even though jkay was still doing his job!

Jkay's work takes, weeks, days, hours of mindstorming.... thinking... coding... decoding.. encoding etc.. etc..

He did a fantastic job, he studied ICS framework to the maximum, without any manual! All by the means he had!

Checkrom lose people to other guys and other roms by delaying the rom another month!

I'm honest: I did wait from march and 3 months have passed and no V7! No hassle! Hyperdroid team have done the same, they kept their roms on GB which is stable enough for them and invested their time in their own lifes!

On the contrary, leo and check said:

Their mistake was to induce people in error, they didn't had nothing to prove me wrong! They didn't had the rom prepared!

I mean:

I know how to cook my own rom, there are already plenty of mods for SGS2 to make a stable kitchen, just needed to ask for permission to use the mods and keep the credits to the modder!

It sure takes some time to optimize a rom but.. 3 months? Even cyanogenmod made a nightly rom for Galaxy Note in less time!

I am still waiting for V7.. even though i have already sold my SGS2.. but my GF still has her SGS2 :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] androidkid311:
It was only a matter of time before this read slightly got out of hand lol. So many valid points and comments but... its all down to the devs at the end of the day and as people have said there are a **** load if quality ics roms. If they don't do an ics release....then I'm sure they will give a good explanation but just enjoy the euros for now lol xD.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adamski123:
Well said. Especially about the euros ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I didn't demand nothing from them... and if you check my posts in this thread from March i didn't post a single demand asking for V7... i waited in my place and have been following this thread peacefully! They don't owe me nothing and honestly if they want to live their lifes and stop on V6... feel free too! I donated yes, to keep up the server of checkrom.com and help them get the Note!

I donated by free will, not because, if i donated they owed me something, NO!

It's not out of hand, people are still spectacting V7 and i'm sure a lot of people will use it when it's out!

People are free to post their opinion on the issue because this is a free forum! :D

And in my opinion, if they want to use the money i donated to go on vacation: LET THEM DO WHATEVER THEY WANT!

:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jebuchanan:
I've been and am waiting patiently for v7.

It was stated v7 would be ready mid to late June earliest. it is now only mid June.

However, it would be nice to have a status update.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes i would like, like many users would too, a status update on how the dev is going and not just something like:

" Don't ask for ETA's " :o
