What do we do with the I9100_EFS_I9100XXKP9_CL45181_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Nothing, just skip it.

All you need is PDA, Modem/Phone and CSC, last time I flashed the .pit too, don't know if it's needed or not.

Use Mobile Odin, way way easy.....:)
[Galaxy S II General] zabihjan:
Unstable

Most apps restart the phone

Very laggy

Going back to 2.3.6 kl1
[Galaxy S II General] MrSimtang:
Damn, so XXKPA still not stable?

Oh well, I guess I can wait a little longer.

wch one is more stable one ?!!

amdownloading KPA !!
[Galaxy S II General] Flypwnz:
Still gingerbreaded touchwiz, frame rate locked at 30 and more :(
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
I think kpa.is stable if you don't use the tw launcher.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] madmack:
I found many samsung apps to be FCing in KPA. I removed practically all of them and changed the launcher to Go Launcher Ex.

So far no more reboots or stupid hangs. :cool:

Some features don't work but I'll survive (read: face unlock).

I'm surprised by how good battery life is compared to CM9.. I think CM9 need to figure out the wakelocks issue once the sources are out. no excessive wakelocks in KPA so far.

Now, lemme go back and long press on my home button to quickly switch between apps.. whats uuup.
[Galaxy S II General] rajaspidey:
am now using AOSP 4.0.3 downloaded from this link http://www.samsung-galaxy-s2-android.com/index.html

everything was stable !!

except these!!

Some apps close but not force close

video recorder not working

video player working but bizzare colors

MX video player with codec is fine

Basic Games working

GPU Rendering not proper (thats the reason for video & game problems)

No quick launch toggles

No copy, Paste (Clipboard)

Cant able to open external SD via any file manager & no native filemanager !!

Files from external SD is in Music player & music player works !!

UPDATE:

Tested XXKPA posted here

In this camera & file manager & all those stuffs wch were not working above works !!

But no external SD only internal SD works !!

So no music :(

I feel AOSP is more stable than this for basic use like calll, photo, Music, Facebook & browsing stuffs !!

so reverting back to AOSP ICS !! & then to gingerbread !!

UPDATE 2:

Cant able to remove Exclamatory logo on boot !!

Market problem

Hello,

As my apps were wiped, I had to go install them again from the market (since I use Google Authenticator the wizard doesn't do it for me) and I find that I can't download certain apps from the market.

If an app is over 5-10MB, when I accept the download it stays there for a sec or 2 and then immediate goes to "Installing" (suggesting that 10MB were downloaded in 1.5s which is impossible) and then I get an error saying "Package file is invalid.". I've tried killing and deleting the market data and cache (as well as Download Manager) and nothing.

Anyone else have this issue? Should I just chalk it up to a pre-beta firmware woes?
[Galaxy S II General] zabihjan:
U r doing wrong

First flash root kernel then

Flash kp8a kernel then

Try darky rom app from market and install the zimage file from root kernel. It will work.
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
For KP8 flashing rooted kernel through CWM did not work. Something wrong with it. It wont reboot after you select Flash Kernel and select image, wont install.

Dont know about Darky
[Galaxy S II General] rajaspidey:
Sorry wrongly wrote !! i did the same traditional way to remove that symbol !!

Yea thats wat happened to me !!
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
Is anyone able to seperate the new bootloader and the new KPA stock kernel?

my method of triangle removal includes flashing old bootloader + jig before flashing back the new bootloader...

but currently i'm using the old resettable bootloader underneath KP8...

I cant seem to find the KPA stock kernel, maybe someone can point me in the right direction as i dun like to keep the kernel insecure after rooting...

PS: might try this KPA firmware on friday and will report the differences between KP8 and KPA..
[Galaxy S II General] henrylhp:
Help

Hi there, can some1 help me settle the Yellow Triangle that appears when at the screen under the logo of samsung galaxy s 2 when startup? Thanks.

If i use the old Kernel then dont have the yellow triangle, just when i use the new kernel, it appears again. What the problem actually? Haha. Some one experienced please teach and share.
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
The old kernel is a secure kernel... the new kernel u r using CF-Root kernel is presume? the CF-Root kernel is an insecure kernel..

the way to bypass it is to flash old bootloader and use the jig n reset counter n remove triangle...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
why do all these ics firmwares have a fps cap at 30? shouldnt it be capped at 60 instead?
[Galaxy S II General] henrylhp:
oH, i see. Got what you mean, then i think better for me just use the secure kernel. Btw, any different if use the old kernel or with the new kernel? Anyway, thanks for the tips.

[Galaxy S II General] piero79:

[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
Newer kernel means newer fixes... but then again, KPA broke backlight on the touch buttons... not sure what is the difference between KPA and KP9 kernel... maybe someone can shed light on this... but the stock KPA and KP9 kernels should be secure kernels...
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
I've installed KPA (stock) twice (pda, model, csc), and the first time around rooted with CF-root

On both occasions I was impressed with generally how stable the rom was, but I hit a nasty. The "browser" process would constantly spin CUP -- perhaps occasionally stop for a few seconds & resume. This led to the phone getting warm & of course resulted in terrible battery drain.

So far I've tried

- disabling plugins

- clearing browser cache

- switching off predictive searches and similar additional functionality

- tried with/without wifi & ensured connection validation is disabled

- "froze" the browser with titanium backup - THIS WORKED in reducing CPU

With no stock browser. I first deleted the browser data,then tried to "unfreeze" the browser but regardless of titanium backup settings (direct, indirect etc), or use of adb shell to run "pm enable <x>" or direct editing of packages.xml & could not get it back. I even tried removing/uninstalling and readding the apks

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour from the browser?

[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
:D

On KPA "connect USB in mass storage mode" now works \o/

AND the device encryption (/data + storage) seems to be done and working now (didn't work on KP8) :eek:

Too bad no one will need my little app anymore :rolleyes:

ICS is getting better and better, it's also been rather stable so far (replaced TW with GoLauncher and deleted some stock apps), I might actually try to use this as daily for a while - need to check compatability of some of my most important apps first.

Also - maybe someone got a hint for me on that - when booted to recovery (CF with CWM) I get "USB device not recognized"....

// EDIT

Hmm, internal "SD" isn't encrypted as far as I can tell and ext. SDCard is file-wise encryption, not on blockdevice level....

/data looks to be on blockdevice level though, gotta look some more into this.

[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
Anyone knows how to tar a file for flashing with ODIN? cos i wanna jus extract out the zimage file (which i assume is the kernel file) from KPA and jus flash it after i have rooted the device with CF-root...

would it be the same if i just use winrar and create the tar file?

EDIT: i found it on another forum.... jus need to execute the tar command and md5sum command from my mac... nice.....
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
You don't have to, the archive comes with a seperate kernel .tar.md5 - I wonder why people keep missing it.

rSAP support in XXKPA

Hi everybody,

Does someone test if bluetooth rSAP (remote sim access profile) works in XXKPA because it does not in XXKP1, XXKP2, XXKP4 nor XXKP8?

I hope that Samsung did not stop to support this...

All Froyo and Gingerbread ROM from Samsung for i9100 are supporting this feature. All decent smartphone support this.

For those who do not know what is rSAP, it is a bluetooth profile for virtually disconnect the SIM card from the server (i9100 phone) and virtually connect it over bluetooth to a client (usually a car phone system).

This system is common on european cars, and it is a "real" phone so the car use its own GSM radio. But it is different from "hands free kit" wich are simply an audio gateway. Those hands free kit use the hands free bluetooth profile.

I can't understand why Google did not support it in their AOSP SDK? Without a minimal very trivial function added by Google to the RIL specification (raw SIM APDU exchange), we cannot add an opensource rSAP bluetooth support, even if it is a very simple protocol and it is easy to develop a custom plugin to the opensource bluez stack. But at least obviously we need a "standard" method for exchanging some message with the (u)SIM card!!!

Until today (on froyo/GB i9000 and i9100 ROMs) Samsung supports it via an non opensource RIL layer (and not compliant to Android RIL specs) and a simple plugin to the bluez stack, HTC does exactly the same.
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
So that means that KPA uses KP9 kernel?

I wonder what is the difference between KPA kernel and KP9 kernel, other than the soft keys backlight not working... maybe there is some speed or battery difference....

EDIT: i dugged around abit... and i noticed that KPA uses KPA kernel... i'm not sure why KP9 kernel was placed in the package... maybe cos of the softkey backlight issue... but i wonder if anyone who used KP9 kernel can shed light on what is the noticable difference (ie battery life, RIL, wifi, stability etc)........ I'm gonna flash KPA in about 2 hrs time... will post stock KPA kernel if my tar method and md5 hashing went well on my mac....

ICS is ugly and will ruin your display because it has blue colors everywhere!

[Galaxy S II General] tazer4:
I am going to use ICS I'm not bashing it but I will be using it with Touchwiz which i previously hated but now realized its the best!

For the blue colors its what degrades oled displays the most your not supposed to use blue colors for icons or text thats constantly displayed on your phone or it will make those parts burn out a lot quicker and cause burn in and streaking.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
You are aware of the fact that every pixel that is not 100% red or green only also has a blue component? Therefor burning away your display as well?

updating bundled swype

I noticed that unlike KP8, KPA comes bundled with swype... unfortunately it's an old, annoying, practically useless version of swype and not the newest one... so here's what i did to update to the new shiny dragon-swype:

1) install kpa

2) cfroot

3) install super manager from the market (free)

4) enable root mode in super manager (in settings)

5) under apk manager, uninstall swype (might as well remove some other crap while in here, such as allshare, daily diary etc)

6) restart phone (new swype won't install without a reboot for some reason)

7) point browser at beta.swype.com

8) register, follow directions, install, enjoy

why all the trouble? swype installer won't let you install swype if it came bundled with your phone... hope this helps someone who's also using KPA as their daily :)
[Galaxy S II General] ballist1x:
Interesting, i had an OLED HU in my last car and that was a blue only display lol..lasted years and years no issues...

But why would google specifically choose colours that they know their best selling vendor (samsung) would burn the life out of their screens? The Nexus is also OLED right and that comes with ICS by default so wont their screens start becoming effected?

So I've got this installed, however I just realized I lost my backup file. I've tried to just flash the stock GB firmware back using ODIN but the phone won't boot. Instead, it boots into what looks to be the factory version of cwm. (I know it's not actually cwm, however it looks and behaves similarly.) I can successfully flash this rom back and have a working phone again, and this makes me think it could be related to the pit file.

Does anyone know how I can get back to gingerbread using either CWM or ODIN? (Without a backup.) :(

Then I downloaded the kernel file from the original creators thread and used the odin supplied with the ICS for "I9100XXKP8" but it does nothing. I even tried to download the stock kernel for "I9100XXKP8" used its Odin version but no use.
