Hi Guys,

been having some problems, Flashed V6 the a while ago now and its been fine but i tried to change the kernel the other day through Kitchen Pro, Downloaded the file and then pressed install, Phone restarted like normal but instead of installing it, its just reebooted

If i go into CWM and try to flash kernel it comes up with an error "No zlmage was found"

any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Go into recovery. Look for the option install zip. press that and look for the checkrom folder and then find the kernel you want to flash. flash it and then reboot and it should be working fine..have you updated your kitchen through market?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Destke:
I would rather reinstall the rom than search what of the 300 apps. has a wrong setting :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tierix:
But you cna't disable the sound when you plug the phone in, can you?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dica:
Go to system /media /audio /ui and rename the file tw_battery_caution. Ogg

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bettytsa:
is this the cf root kernel or not and i have to add it? when i flashed the rom i have this kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CamoGeko:
I believe you can find that in the kitchen.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
mate that is the cf-root kernel already. read the OP to get more information and actually know what you are flashing on your phone.

Rom comes with cf-root kernel. the rom is LA4 and the cf-root is the same...no need to do anything else..No need for you to add anything. just flash the rom and then flash anything you want after wards..if you want to stay with cf-root good or else move to a different kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BenEadir:
OK, so I'm happily up and running on CheckROM V6 and now I want to optimise it to get the best performance in terms of:-

- Signal strength - Wi-Fi/3G/HSPA (Vodafone's new faster technology)/GSM etc

- Battery Performance

Is there a way to optimise the kernel and/or modem to suit my circumstances i.e. being a Vodafone customer in Ireland? CheckROM comes pre loaded with the CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5 kernel and XWKL1 modem but there are lot's of alternatives which can be easily downloaded and flashed via CWM or the Kitchen App.

Each has different pro's and con's Vs what comes built into the ROM but I don't know how determine which if any would give me the best signal and battery performance on the Vodafone network in Ireland and whether X kernel paired with Y modem would cause any sort of conflict. Is there a modem or kernel comparison/review matrix anywhere which even I could understand?

Also, Geko95gek has outlined a clever way to seriously extend the battery performance by tweaking voltage and CPU settings as described here http://checkrom.com/threads/more-bat...ttery-life.542 but before I dive in to doing that I'd really like to understand how to select the right kernel to use.

Thoughts anyone???

Guys, why do you keep pushing ICS onto the devs?

Wouldn't you rather wait to make sure a bugless base is available to them so the ROM will be perfect?

Are you sure ur MMS setting is right? SMS and MMS are two different settings. IRRC, SMS don need APN to work. Only GPRS and MMS require proper APN setting.

What zip are u finding? bootanimation?

+1. I would rather wait for a real stable ICS base to be out first before jumping into it. See no problem in sticking to this beautiful Checkrom v6 for now. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Its not a final release... just another beta...from Sammobile on twitter.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Hi Ben. I'm in Cork and the best modems I've used to date are BUKI1 (from vodafones latest official bukj3 rom) and KL1 I'm using now seems quite good too.

I can get speeds up to 9.5kbps on mobile data. Both the above give good performance and battery life. Try for ur own area though.

As regards kernel, there aren't any modem/ kernel pairing conflicts. I'm using NEAK right now and its great out of the box. So is Speedmod. Siyah is also good but personally I found it to need a lot of tweaking to get a balance. Haven't tried the latest version yet though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lucky_sidhu:
Guys anyone here facing the boot loop on Samsung Galaxy SII logo on installing any version of NEAK kernel ?

I get boot loop not on animation but on the SII logo.

Doesn't happen with any other kernel.

I already cleared cache, kernel cleaning script, CWM, ODIN etc.

I think my phone does not like NEAK KERNEL.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
wait till later on today and a new version of NEAK should be out and all the problems you are currently facing you shall not have them with newest release and you should be able to flash with no problems.:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lucky_sidhu:
Thanks for your quick reply Stifler.

I wanted to know if this happens with any one else or just my phone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
if you go through the thread it has happened to a few others as well. like i said wait till later on today and hopefully a new update should be released by Simone the dev of NEAK:)

Reboot to recovery and wipe data. Then format system, flash rom again and wipe data again.

Hi all! I've recently flashed the latest speedmod kernel because on cf-root I had soft reboots... Now I'm asking you if neak kernel is good with the default settings that comes with it after flashing... I don't like undervolting, underclocking and so on and for this reason I'd like to have "normal" settings... In addition, there will be a new neak version that I want to try... Thanks in advance!!!!

Yes mate. Leave the settings default. Enable conservative governor and then enable Lionheart tweaks. Then enable all misc options apart the EXT boost and you are good to go.:) But wait till later on today a new update will be released by Simone

Hi guys,

I downloaded V6 on day of release but have only just now gotten round to actually installing it. I did a clean install which went by with no problem but the first thing i tried to do was update kitchen pro via the market. However, when i try it fails and gives the me the message "Update for "Kitchen Pro" could not be downloaded due to an error". I then discovered that it get this same message when i try to download ANY app.

Anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Could be a server error. Try to download later

New NEAK kernel is out guys. The backup error is now fixed and you can backup without any problems.

Thanks Kenny, it's great to have someone here with your knowledge and operating off the same network as me!! Thinking of changing my username here to BenEadir-who-stalks-Kenny :D

I'm on KL1 which comes with CR V6 so I'll leave that well alone but I'm certainly interested in flashing the NEAK kernel as it sounds like what I'm after i.e. liteweight with excellent battery performance.

What's the best way to flash a kernel? If it's via the Kitchen App how do you update the NEAK version in the kitchen app to the latest (today) version before flashing via the app?

Cheers,

Ben

Does anyone know how to enable "Share Via" or Forward functionality in the SMS client?

Currently, I have to manually select text, open WhatsApp ( or the likes ), select the target person and then paste the text to send it..

I've seen people just press-hold an SMS, select Share.. and it opens up a list of apps to share via .. missing this badly..

Anyone ??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Lol :D don't bother Ben...I'm not that good :p

The best way to flash a kernel is through Odin or mobile Odin ( chainfires paid app which is what I use). Cwm flashes can be fine but can sometimes cause errors. Same goes for modems.

I like NEAK cause its light, fast, smooth and tunable too if u want to. I find that the biggest battery gains are got by dimming your screen and underclock the CPU slightly, not really by modem. Just my opinion though.

If I can be of any other help gimme a shout ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
here is working, if you have flashed ICS theme then you need to reflash GTalk with video mod from the kitchen!

However i have updated kitchen repository with Kernels and the DialPad 3D by Criskelo!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
Thanks a lot, i have updated the F.A.Q. section!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jayquinten510:
Normally I install the theme, and then the custom dialler, so the custom dialler is overwriting the pureblue dialler code if that makes sense.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
so i flashed the ICS theme, with the restore theme before then the ICS, it was nice but i wanted the MIUI theme back. so i flashed the restore theme again, then the MIUI. then i noticed some differences, the camera icon was different, more notification sounds and alarm, but i guess that is normal since the ICS theme had some mods and extra features but the thing that bugs me is the sound when i lock the phone, it's different and i don't like it. is there a way to get the old sound back without flashing the rom again. thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mark wild:
!!!

I can't make a new contact with my phone it is force closing all the time!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
Yep right, i should update the theme restore pkg, as ICS theme has more modded file compared to other themes.

here is working, pls when report issue you should provide more details...

Which Dialpad theme are you using? Have you tried to wipe dalvikcache?

Actually Logprovider mod (Call log with no sms) doesn't clear any previous log. This is stated on the original thread as well!

We have been always busy, we have a list of priority, for sure we will add more info about mods available in the kitchen, however this wasn't an high priority stuff since it is not so hard to search in this forum section (Original Androdi Development) a particular mod in order to gather info.........
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Josabel:
Yes, i know what you mean. But the Transparent dialer also overwrite's the blue telefoon and contacts icon's.

greetings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
the extra features are nice, new sounds and wallpapers, the ICS stuff are very nice and look very good, but the launcher is a bit hard, it's a modified go launcher? maybe just a mod to add theme to the phone, just saying :D and also i noticed and i posted this before. in messaging it didn't show the contact picture, only after i deleted the contact from the sim card did it open the picture atached to the contact. :D

anyways great rom and awesome job boys :D

Leo don't know if you read this ? Is it possible?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] raziel19:
just for information: this "aos-bug" isn't an issue in most cases!

and with siyah it's still existent but only masked

it is not as miraculous as some of you believe...

@ leo/gc: i solved my "issue" with not working screencapture-package (posted few pages back) by re-flashing the rom ;)

maybe it was an app interfering it? :confused:

anyway this is the best and stablest rom i've ever used :D

keep up your work and provide more of this masterpieces :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
TSM Parts is not included at this stage, TSM Parts break Jkay mod, so it is hard to get both mod at the same time. We will think about that as soon as we finish themes!

thanks i had id on your previous rom and i loved it. Specialy Battery options ( including MIUI bar );)

Hey leo

Did you look into why su binary 3.0.2 causes the crr app not to work correctly

Also noticed that in the new app,it asks for superuser permissions each time unlike the rev rom app

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
the other options are sched_mc and that has to do with battery life if i am not mistaken and the same goes for AFTR idle mode. EXt Boost is for performance. Normally those options are enabled by default in previous versions of the kernel but Simone has gave you the chance to keep them on or off. I have everything on apart from the Ext boost.

If you want more information on exactly what they do have a look on NEAK thread on the first page and it gives you better explanation on what they do my friend.:).

But if you want to try a good governor i have to say conservative and lionheart tweaks. Then with my settings you have a winner.:D must say good battery life i get
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Psilocin:
Do a clean wipe first if you coming from another rom, but no, seems like you got it covered.

A little advice though. Wait a few more days if you can hold the excitement. The ICS version of the rom will be released once Samsung puts out the update.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] stormtroopercs:
Its newer so its *supposedly* better ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AlexMagik:
let's put 2 reasons:

1. battery life: with the basic kernel that comes with, the battery life is seriously comparable (if not better) with most kernels/rom we have here

2. smoothness: the basic rom is smooth as much as these one we have

so, think about the potentials of the above 2 when it comes to having all these developers working on optimizing what is already crazy high standards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AU_IT01:
You are right, but I think you agree if I say the 'look and feel' of ICS is the point here. I would feel better with ICS and it also looks for me better.

Word of advice to people who might be thinking of flashing the latest ICS leak or rom whatever it is now. Wait for the devs here to release checkrom v7. Play with your current rom and enjoy it.At least when you have latest checkrom you will know that the devs have worked their magic and it will be safe to flash and still have root. From what i have been reading i been getting mixed feelings. Down to you guys of course but thought i get a shout in first for anyone who is thinking about it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] barneystroud:
I agree, V6 is a good rom and I can wait for Check and Rev to get the next one on, this rom is too easy to use and play with for me to even bother with any other.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AlexMagik:
i disagree.

they should flash the latest beta / whatever.

See how bad it is, how many crashes, or issues, or unsupported stuff is around.

Basically: feel the pain.

then switch back to v6, come back to the thread and say THANK YOU to the developers and everybody do helps in the thread. Because only at that point people can appreciate fully a job well done.
