yes 1.8 is pitch black sir :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
When it's ready
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Actually, I do print bigger, but then again, I do use DSLR.

It does pain me to see how some people come to the conclusion that a person doesn't know the difference between A and B. Thanks for the lesson though, I'm sure it will come in handy for my job. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SPBoss:
im not impatient on the release.. he's doing it for free so the least we can do is be patient. A changelog for 1.8 would be nice though ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] westcrip:
yes today mate ..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
I have to totally disagree.stock was the best for me.!it even sounded great.I bought power amp and am still using it after years.as this rom doesn't have a decent music player or video player built in at all..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:
just a cpl of hrs ma8 v1.8 will address all ur issues:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
HELP PLEASE.I'm on 1.7 I have just installed the b5 kernel as mentioned earlier in this thread but now I can't seem to get into my best game DRAW FREE.??? I have no idea why as its been fine alday until this new kernel.??I have cleared the cache..uninstalled also I tried fixing permissions in cwm?and still the same?have I missed anything?I didn't do any wipes I just installed the kernel?how do you flash just a new kernel cleanly??Have I missed any thing?Any help is much appreciated.:-).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
Lol.a good read though if nothing else.:-).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metzo32:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyberboob:
Well you didn't seem to remember that before I posted it... so guess you needed the reminder.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:
try the latest b6 ma8 hope it might resolve ur issue:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Built in isn't the thing here. Customization is, that's what modding is all about. avoiding the crappy bloatware and choose for yourself what to use. No one in their right minds can claim S2 stock musicplayer were any good at all (at least on GB) you choose album and it displays them in a more or less random order, ignoring the artists, including all the sonds on that album.. so you had to scroll for ages to get the album you wanted.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
Sorry but it was good for me. :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyberboob:
Have to agree with Pigmachine.

I'm starting to wonder if this "built in" mentality is what's going to kill Android 1 day. Certainly the iPhone (forgive me bros for even mentioning it) crowd doesn't mind paying for other apps - there are plenty of free choices for us all. Some stuff better off paying for.

The stock video player I think was not bad, but the music player not so good. There are plenty of other alternatives to try though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Well I did remember, but thanks anyways for your sharing your infinite knowledge. Apart from that; I heard many people using the same argument by the way, and it's only partially true, especially if you're actually using digital images for professional reasons. Bigger IS better, if the the other comparable capabilities are equal. Otherwise I would have stuck with my old Canon G1.

I think a 12Mp would have been a better shot for the SGS3. So far the Nokia N8 has been able to produce way better shots than my SGS2 (for casual shootings anyways).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyberboob:
@FrepA

Well it's good you recognize a genius. Among my knowledge, it's true that bigger can be better if comparable image quality follows or is equal to... however this is still just a phone right? Probably your old Canon still takes better pics than any phone.

Still find my old F1 will still beat out most new ones (that's just my thinking with the grains and all).

*I also think Samsung never had the best cameras. Nokia and Sony did/do for sure. But this new 0 lag feature sounds good. Will have to see how well it works.

My guess is, they wanted to keep some costs down and pump this phone out ahead of competition sooner.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
Thanks mate.done it.wow b5 was horrid.kept getting freezes to and had to back battery out to get phone going :-(.all seems ok with b6.well for the minute at least lol.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] caioluizdangelo:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
Well that's not really helpfull. Is it.as you can see its not running fine for me.HENCE WHY I WANTED HELP.NOT A REPORT ON HOW GOOD THINGS ARE for you.:-).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Did you clear cache, did you clear /advanced/dalvik cache , did you to be on the safe side fix permissions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
Oops...didn't do anything accept fix permissions lol.ok give me a quick step on how to just flash a kernel only lol.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Evollution:
OK I installed last version but scrolling is slow ideas ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Just flash it through recovery.. and reboot into recovery, for all the new settings to appear.

EDIT-> then follow the steps I recommended
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
So I don't need to wipe cache and dalvik etc when just flashing a new kernel?lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
May be try reducing values in extweaks app and device settings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
It never hurts to do it. Better safe then sorry.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] caioluizdangelo:
Sorry I can't help you. I just tried to let you see that is not a problem with your system configuration.

Also I tried to flash Siyah but I don't find it in recovery mode cmw..

Is my first ICS rom but is so unstable..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paulx10:
Okay.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
What were u searching in recovery mode?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metzo32:
Why ? did you add the zip on sd ? the rom is very stable by the way .
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Evollution:
Hmm I really don't like my keyboard to vibrate

Plus how can I selected and other folders for Music Player.. Other than it offers to me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rawfa:
When I do that it gets me to the boot screen instead.

Besides I´ve already tried flashing the CF root kernel and it didn´t help either.

Before this happened I´ve formated the internal memory, flashed the kernel and flashed the rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] col300:
Been following this thread for a few weeks now and have been on rr since 1.4. Rom is awesome so big thanks to west and the rest of the contributors.

Only problem I have had was with the scrolling (as with a number of others)

The following may or may not help other users and is just my humble opinion. Having tried CM, Thoravukk & Siyah in order to solve here is what I've found:

Cm - excellent battery life, all working well except for scrolling

Thoravukk (2.48) - installed with Thorovukk control app. Enabled more customisation and managed to find some good settings that helped the scrolling a lot (default settings plus: cfq i/o scheduler, 24000 up sample time, 48000 down sample time). Battery life very slightly worse than CM.

Siyah (3.2b5) - dramatically increased battery usage, scrolling improved, loads of options, but had a problem with the touch screen sensitivity when pressing app shorcuts etc on the home screen (wouldn't always press and would have to press 2 or 3 times in some instances.)

I went back to Thoravukk earlier this evening (v2.5) and the scrolling is significantly better. So as long as battery life isn't too much worse then I'll be a happy man.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
If u r using siyah kernel then download extweaks app and under screen tab of extweaks u can reduce vibration intensity.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Do we need CM9 to install?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dnyeah:
Thnx wes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcusjt:
Excellent, thanks! Download in progress...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bionicjew:
Worth staying up for :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcusjt:
Good question. Also the notes for 1.8 mention that the CM9 kernel has been updated, but the separate CM9 ZIP file is not marked "updated 04/05" like the themes...?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Hope the icons are black too :D !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
I'm not test coming from another kernel sorry, but the other tester i think yes and for what i know, yes you need CM9 kernel before ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vegeta1:
mornings cant get really netter then this , thanx west for your awsum work and efforts u put into it :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] metzo32:
Yes..already removed Siyah.. :).....THANKS
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
Nice name west 'Pitch Black'.:D Thanks again for ur awesome work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:
Cant wait to try this baby! Was the CM9 KERNEL remix edition.zip link updated? I know the themes have..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
If it's updated or not it doesn't matter you only need that file to make the installation if you come from another kernel, then you go back to your kernel or if you want the CM9 kernel, after the installation you have the most updated ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iqzy:
Would Siyah Kernel work with this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yeeahnick:
yah duh i should have thought of that! Thanks! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fransarj:
i seem to have misunderstood... im on siyahkernel now... do i have to flash cm9 remix first before updating 1.7 to 1.8?

I've been flashing updates since 1.4 even with siyahkernel and don't seem to encounter any problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
I suppose that the new one, personally i'm test the features and functions not another kernels, make your backup and flash the last one :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nelinski:
Just downloaded and installing now, installation is going well so far! :') Thanks west!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Then you have luck or you miss v1.7, many users that update from v1.6 to v1.7 with another kernels can't have the installation, that's because on the v1.7 FAQ i'm add that step as preliminar, take a look: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25351188&postcount=26053

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
Worked fine installing over siyah 3.1.2 at least.

Wonderful work as always guys!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nelinski:
Installed fine, will check everything works and battery over the next few days. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheDexter1111:
i would flash cm9 kernel first, just to be safe... but then just flash siyah and enjoy some overclocking :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcusjt:
Ok, so I flashed the (old) CM9 Remix Kernel, then RR ICS 1.8, the wiped the cache & Dalvik cache (out of interest why do the RR ICS ask to do this after flashing when other firmwares say do it before?) then clicked "Reboot System" and stared at a green Android robot with a spinning thingy for 10mins, getting increasingly worried...

:confused:

...until I pressed the side button and realised that it was just the same old CWM bug that I hate, which sometimes/randomly/for no apparent reason makes the side button change function to simply toggling the hiding/showing of the CWM UI (thereby revealing the background image), instead of actually executing the menu option!

D'oh! Damn that CM9 kernel - this is one of the many reasons I prefer SiyahKernel...

Anyway, have now successfully rebooted, and all is well - hurray! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nghtmare:
Will install and let you guys know, anyways my Galaxy S2 life-span got shortened a little while ago so Im sure 1.8 will do fine for a month or two ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fransarj:
actually yeah i didn't install 1.6. I went like 1.1-1.2-1.3-1.4-1.7 all on siyah :) ok will do as you say in the faq :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iqzy:
I find it laggier than 1.7. 1.7 was good. Scrolling on web pages seem static and not buttery smooth
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheDexter1111:
Question

If the rom comes completely black themed.. why is there a updated black theme download? do we need to flash the theme? or do these downloads just give you polaris office on top of the theme?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dnyeah:
For example if you flashed the default theme and you don't like it, you can always flash the black theme. That's why I think.

The calculator is now black with white. How can I change it back to black and blue?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Urbanrootz:
I'm trying to understand this....I've seen a few questions before floating about on this topic....If a ROM's compatible with SGS2, regards on what kernel you have installed, when you flash the new or updated ROM - the kernel will be replaced with the one that comes with that ROM...So why would one have to flash a kernel before an Install?

If you're on V1.7, not matter what kernel you have installed, you should be able to flash v1.8 without Installing CM9 kernel first!!!!

I think the CM9, black theme downloads + other files are there for those that need it, as a separate DL!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xelin0:
Was on 1.7. no modifications or changes whatsoever.

Tried flashing this 3 times, wiped data and cache, formatted system, wiped dalvik.

every time it is freezing on the bootload black android icon.

Is there something I have missed?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soulzero:
ok i followed all the extended steps but i cant get it to boot, it just sits there on the black android robot screen.

reflashed twice, doesnt help.. and thank god im not the only one..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jeanmarie:
Thank you wes work perfect with siyah
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xbroadcaster1991:
Great Rom!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Urbanrootz:
What version where you on before?

If you were on v1.7 all you needed to do was wipe partition cache + dalvik and Install v1.8! Did you back up v1.7?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soulzero:
i was on hydrog3n 27/4 before..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fransarj:
you're not supposed to format system.... just wipe cache & davlik, flash and then (just in case) wipe cache and davlik again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] benkizz:
same here...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Urbanrootz:
Try factor reset + wiping partition cache & Dalvik cache and try to install again
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ramelov:
I think that it's about recovery rather than kernel itself. As recovery goes with kernel on sgs2 and you can't flash recovery alone without kernel you have to flash kernel. Before flashing a new version of Resurrection you have to restart recovery to recovery that goes with just flashed CM 9 kernel . That's what some people forget about.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] andresousa90:
I has the same problem.

My solution:

1. Flash CM9 kernel

2. Reboot recovery

3. Flash v1.7

4. Wipe dalvik & cache

5. Reboot

After that

Recovery and follow the steps:

1. Flash v1.8

2.Wipe dalvik & cache

Hope it works with you:D

OK makes sense, but basic recovery will be on the phone no matter what, or what kernel is on the phone! unless you really jack'd up your phone and have to use ODIN.

You shouldn't have to flash a kernel first, then the ROM....Never heard that before....Guess every situation is different
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wzseow:
I have just flashed this over V1.7 without any issues. Was very worried initially that I would face the same problems as mentioned by other users.

But it's all running smoothly now. I just followed the instructions posted on OP

Thanks!

edit: I am however having problems setting my max CPU to 800 on conservative mode. Already crashed twice as I tried to do that
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Urbanrootz:
Same here, I wiped Partition cache + dalvik installed v1.8 no problems...I think SGS2 doesn't play well with max cpu set @ 800 maybe have stick with the max @ 1000
