I think after using this rom for a whole night, its my duty to report what i find and what i managed to tinkered so far while still maintaining my daily routine on the phone:

1. You are able to use old bootloader with KP8 with very very minor issues (related to shutdown only, but i'm unable to replicate the problem often). Meaning you can root with CF-root kernel and then reset the binary counter.

2. Mms.apk will FC the whole system when handling LARGE amounts of sms... in fact, when restoring sms, it jus FC the system... Reccommendation is to NOT restore your sms...

3. Battery life is slightly worse.

4. Network seems to be improved quite a bit.

5. Stable enough for daily use, but not for Mission Critical deployment (i was on the phone for 2 straight hours with my gf last night and no issues with calling or network etc)

6. Some data network issues can easily be fixed by editing your APN settings (mine worked after changing one line to "internet")

7. Trying to replace with AOSP Mms.apk will cause messaging to not work.

8. Gallery2.apk from AOSP works fine (in replacement to gallery3d.apk which can get quite annoying sometimes)

9. Found the LatinIMEGoogle.apk from somewhere and it is working perfectly (jus move the file into /system/app and set permissions and ur good to go... the dependencies lib_jneime.so is already present in /system/lib...)

10. Launcher2.apk from Galaxy nexus also works well with KP8.. in fact its working better than trebuchet launcher..

11. Trying to force 2D acceleration on some apps will cause the apps to FC... for example Gallery3D.apk will FC when trying to crop an image for wallpaper while under 2D accel...

12. double click brings up the multi-task thingy, but tripple click activates vlingo for some weird reason...

13. You are able to follow the usual guide to streamline the samsung bloat for this rom.

Thats all i tried for now... will update with more testing...

EDIT 1: IMPT!! replacing gallery3d.apk causes your lockscreen graphic to default to the standard sammy ones... trying to figure out a workaround for it now...
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Hi guys. Just a quick question. For KP8 I flashed the code, CSC and modem files properly. I saw 2 other files, modem and efs. I read before never to mess with the EFS file so I didn't flash it. But as for the kernel file I flashed it too in the PDA part. Is this needed?

I tried XXKP8 and it's very smooth, also the browser is amazing compared to CM9 one :mad:

But it isn't stable, I got many times crash to homescreen, but without TW launcher!

I mean I can see only the background! No widgets or icons, and I have to restart the phone

Rom ICS KP8 problems

Sorry, I do not write in English, I read and speak English, but not write. I hope you understand the basics. Thanks

Hola a todos y feliz 2012.

Tras la alegria de tener a mano una ROM “oficial” ICS para nuestro SGS2 la flasee de inmediato y ante la cantidad de fallos que tenia opte por regresar a mi LUXKK2, despues aparece una nueva KP8 V02, la bajo, la flaseo y, vuelta a los mismos fallos y vuelta a meter una oficial de verdad I9100FOPKI4.

La sorpresa me la lleve cuando me conecte en el KIE, me da 4 elementos en lugar de los tres de costumbre y me dice que no se puede actualizar ese aparato. Cambio el KIE a uno mas antiguo y este, en lugar de cuatro elementos me da tres como de costumbre pero tambien me dice que no se puede actualizar y la mayor sorpresa fue que en el CSC me dice en lugar de FOP que es el suyo, me marca (XXX).

Cambio de ROM y lo mismo, me reconoce el KIE todo a excepción del SCS que vuelve a dar (XXX). Y eso en todas las que puse, oficiales de verdad y libres.

Trato despues de cada una de las pruebas que hice en el KIE de actualizar con el WIFI y, sorpresa gorda, me da en todas las intentonas “error de conexion”.

A la vista de todo ello, llegue a la conclusion de que la celebre ROM oficial KP8 debio de meter algun “bicho” dentro de la memoria que informaba al sistema de que se habia actualizado con una ROM no proporcionada por Samsung y, a partir de ese momento, es imposible que se funcione ni en KIE ni en WIFI.

Le hice no se cuantas veces y sobre todo al cambiar de ROM el wipe a todo lo que se me puso por delante, sistema, cache y el cache Dalvik, pero todo sigue igual.

¿le ha ocurrido a alguien mas?, y en caso afirmativo, ¿alguien ha encontrado la solucion para “desinfectar” a nuestro querido SGS2.

Ayudaaaaaaaa.

KP8 for me and FC's galore!!

Even after two full wipes it still is very unstable!

For example, today I have done about 4 battery pulls!! Mainly the phone will force close that hard that I have to shut down, but it won't shut down, it gets stuck, so have to battery pull.

Gallery FC's all the time.

Lots and lots of random FC's...

Can't change wallpaper.

Often responding to SMS and coming back to homepage, the homepage will be blank, only solution is battery pull, etc, etc.

I really like it, but I can't even do any more Factory Reset because when phone goes to reboot, it gets stuck and have to battery pull, so kinda stuck where I am right now which sucks...
[Galaxy S II General] Li4m79:
I've only had one major FC since I installed Kp8 a few days ago. I have had the odd program or app fc. But less than I thought I would get..
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
Hey, I want to have the Galaxy Nexus SMS layout on my Galaxy SII running 4.0.3 cf-rootKP8.

Is it possible?
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Use CM9...
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
Thanks. But there's the possibility to replace the "stock" sms in my ROM for the cm9 one?
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Then extract it from the CM9 package and push it to /system from root explorer..
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
Don't know how to extract it but i'm going to search and try to do it.

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
Simple as extracting anything else (Winrar ?)... You should find the apk file and push it from your phone..
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
What is Winrar? Kidding! Didnt know that was so simply. Ty
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:

GOOGLE TRANSLATION :P

Hello everyone and happy 2012.

After the joy of having a hand-ROM "official" ICS for our SGS2 the flasee immediately and over the number of failures that had opt to return to my LUXKK2, then there is a new KP8 V02, the low, the flaseo and back the same mistakes and get back to a true I9100FOPKI4 officer.

The surprise me when I connect the lead in the KIE, I get 4 items instead of the usual three and tell me you can not upgrade this device. KIE Change the oldest one and this, instead of four elements gives me three as usual but also tells me that can not be updated and the biggest surprise was that the CSC tells me that instead of FOP is yours, I mark (XXX).

Changing the ROM and the same, I recognize the KIE everything except the SCS returns to give (XXX). And that I put in all, officers of truth and free.

Treatment after each of the tests I did in the KIE to update with WIFI and fat surprise, I'm in all attempts "connection error".

In view of this, come to the conclusion that the official ROM KP8 place must have put some "bug" in informing the memory system which had been updated with a ROM not provided by Samsung and, starting that time, it is impossible to work or KIE or WIFI.

I did not know how many times and especially to change the ROM to wipe all that put me ahead, system, Dalvik cache and the cache, but nothing has changed.

Do you happened to someone else?, And if so, has anyone found the solution to "sanitize" our dear SGS2.

Ayudaaaaaaaa.
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
That's weird... It should work fine. Did you use root explorer and mount system as R/W before pushing? If it still won't work, restart and clear Dalvik cache. Also, try installing it maybe.. ?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
KP8 is not an official rom its a leaked test beta rom with bugs install at your own risk .

KIES cannot upgrade unofficial firmware .

Restore your old firmware instructions in this thread .

thats a guess at a rough translation

jje
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
Still got the FC. I've done the Dalvik cache wipe and install the mms.apk.
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
In that case (since I haven't tried it myself), it's most likely not compatible under the Samsung TW framework (which is truly very sad), and we'll have to wait for a port to Samsung ROMs... :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
i have tried it... Stock AOSP Mms.apk does not work with KP8.. you are able to open the app, and see the list of threads you have... but once u try to open the thread, it will crash... when u try to send a sms, it will crash as well... not sure about receiving though... but generally, AOSP mms.apk cannot be used with KP8...
[Galaxy S II General] k3ph:
Is it possible to flash the old bootloader and remove the yellow triangle on KP8? How to check changes in bootloader? Is it safe to overwrite bootloaders?

Am having just no end of problems with KP8.... does anyone know when the next or final release is due? I don't think I can hang on with KP8 much longer...

KP8 great with some issues

Have been using KP8 for a couple of days now.

- It is definitely great and refreshing; categorization of the settings is a nice touch - #REM MIUI !

- All Radios are good.

- Battrey is not mind boggling or anything but can be lived with. Can go a full 24 hrs with a full charge (with 3 email accounts and about 30 minutes of calling, 30 minutes of gaming, 1 hr of music and no video)

- I observed the following stability issues with the KP8 beta Rev 02

a. Touch wiz has issues and the more you fiddle around with the settings, the more unstable it gets - to a point where it totally crashes and does not restart. All the content from the homescreens are gone and just an empty wallpaper sort of scrolls. The phone needs to be restarted to get back. However, I have now installed Go launcher Ex and this has been running stable since. There is the occassional freeze (comes out of the freeze after a few moments) but can be lived with considering this is a beta build and all.

b. Settings keeps crashing especially when I try to list the running apps. Not so bad

c. Video camera does not focus as well as stock Gingerbreads before.

Planning to stick with this until a release from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
I gave up due to instability but if you do get a hang keep power button pressed for 5 or 10 seconds.it should force a power down.... No need to pull battery

Good:

Speed

Wifi works on places it didn't work under 2.3.5

whatsapp, hyves and other icons in contact list

Bad:

No swype!

Device keeps rebooting

For now, I'm going back to a stock ROM (2.3.6) and wait for the official 4.0 release.

Processing Failed on Software Update

I flashed XXKP8, tried re flashing, cleaning every cache and partition possible, but I have a Notification for software update (which is really annoying because I can't close it)

and every time I try to accept the terms I get an error message: "Processing Failed"...

I found some people with the same problem in google, but no solution.

Anyone knows what I am missing?

Hopefully its as stable as CM9 is today.

Then I would go havoc with Trebuchet Launcher and (hopefully) some GFX Mods to restore the original ICS Icons within the options menu... Samsung style icons look so much like kindergarten, sorry... (candy-look is just not that beautiful as ICS stock look).
