OK.. the way to get an 98% 184dpi black store in 2.3 is almost the same as in 2.2. Move the two attached files to your phone.. Go to the dpi you want (I don't recommend 160dpi since the powerbutton is back to 'turn off phone [abort/ok] )

Install multidpi-store.. clear google play and clear google framework, reboot, clear google play again and start store..if needed clear again, if most of your installed apps are there, and you can search for and find! your banking app *gasp!* and navigon europe at least, and the theme you are currently using, that was step one, and you still have a white store! Now swipe away all background apps, and copy the phonesky.apk (it's from 2.3) you moved over earlier.. go to /system/apps/ and rename current phonesky.apk to phonesky.apk.bak.. and paste the new one in and change it's permissions rw r r reboot!

So far no problems.. but a wasted night! It might work fully already on the default store.. what do I know about that.. once you go black you don't go back!

rebootable at least, haven't tried any fix permissions yet.. since I'm to tired from doing something that is not really up to me to fix

EDIT-> wiped dalvik and fixed permissions, cleared cache and did everything possible, and it worked. but do not clear the STORE! Don't do that!! , that was why I said you have to choose your DPI from the beginning, and build on it..

SO no more aroma installer for you after install the fix, else you have to redo it all.. so if you like me suffer from no black talk from the start. Begin with fixing that, by first installing default theme, then the black theme, and voila! Black talk is yet again available! Big thanks to @alpward for the suggestion, reminding me about the old fix...Since it was me it struck first last time too!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] hello2ew:
Hey guys Im extremely confused what does this Aroma installer thing do? After I wiped my device then it goes into Aroma installer, then after the whole process it just reboots! I tried to follow the FAQ. Is that whats supposed to happen?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawken84:
Yes, at the end you can uncheck thw reboot option and select finish to go back to cwm to delete cache etc.

If you didn't do a data wipe before upgrading then yes, it would just start back up normally :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tom247:
Guys i have a problem.. :(

I flashed this ROM yesterday but i didn't like it so i restored my previous ROM and since then my WIFI isn't working.I flashed this ROM again but still WIFI isn't working..

Please guys help me.I use WIFI a lot so i need a fix.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawken84:
In my experience when switching between roms, some files get left behind. You may need to do a odin flash of stock rom and then reinstall rr or whatever rom you want. Also, you could do a format sd and then reinstall.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
Did u try with other kernels?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hello2ew:
Tried flashing different kernels like Fluxi, Abyss or NEAK?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tom247:
Damn :(

isn't there any other method?? :(

and if i flash stock rom and then root it again then will i be able to use my backup root to restore all my data?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawken84:
Well you should check the kernel as the others mentioned. But

yes when I have had unexplained problems I re flash stock and reinstall and that works for me. Your nandroid cwm backups will still be there and titanium backups etc. So its just a pain taking the time to do it but you shouldn't lose anything.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tom247:
no i didn't..should i?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Icetray:
Woah! NotifierPlus drained 10% of my total battery! Is this normal for an app that just wakes your screen?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jav92:
so basically what aroma installer does is that it let you choose which widgets/apps/ etc to install when flashing a rom??

Can anyone please explain step by step the installation process with aroma?? I think im going to upgrade to v2.3 but considering i havent used aroma before i dont want to mess up anything...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hello2ew:
Yeah you should, since Wifi performance and stuff are mostly based on the kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawken84:
Just do it, its not rocket science :D

It lets you choose black apps or default apps, which launcher you want etc.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
May be. U can check ur Wakelocks using BBS app.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Icetray:
Awh man. ): Anyway for those running 2.3, what's your verdict? Any notable issues? Right now I haven't run into any issues with 2.2. Should I still upgrade?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hello2ew:
You have to select Custom Installation instead of Default as you make your way through the installation process, after that you can select which apps you want to install and which you apps you don't. For example, I selected Nova and did not select SGS3 Launcher, so Aroma will install only the apps you want. After that it will prompt you to touch the Finish button. WAIT, but before that untick the reboot box. Then you will return to Recovery after that. Then as explained in the FAQ, continue with the steps, wiping Dalvik cache, fix permissions etc

Redone my 'ghetto-fix' for black store in DPI of choice (choose first!)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27381332&postcount=45789

Now we have a really tired and cranky little piggy, that started to hallucinate at the end of the try.. ttried a lot of other versions first,, but the aroma launcher sabotaged them all! 6:24 here .. good night all!.. I never want to see an aroma launcher again, if I so live until I become 200 years old.. it's not the right tool for such a do it yourself rom!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
Haven't flashed 2.3 yet so can't tell u about that. But I think it's better if u upgrade due to bug fixes and if u don't like it u can always go back. :)

Do I have to go through all these to get 2.3 working?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arunreturns:
Any torrent links for 2.3.. Plssss :D:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawken84:
Just install default apps instead of black and leave the dpi on the default settings and you won't have any if pigs problems :D

2.3 works pretty awesome in my opinion :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pigmachine:
If you run standard 240 dpi and default (white) apps It might be worth a try.. after a LOT of tinkering and a reminder from a user, that it works the same way as I did it earlier when only some had problems with it, start with default, add pitchblack over it, and that was not fun in aroma launcher! I got black talk to work.

After the rest of the night I got black store to work.. from finding almost NOTING.. back to the 98% at least I had in 2.2 .. and most users seem to have in default apps, still haven't heard of anyone with a fully working store.. if anyone claims it.. ask then to find double dragon!

just a suggestion but not really important. can westcript port in titanium backup.apk on the rom as default. meaning u ll see it wen u flash a rom. at least it will save a little time for dose doing a full wipe and backing up apps tru titaniunm backup. u dont av 2 start installing it again wen u flash a rom b4 restoring back ur apps

But for me 2.2 is working perfectly ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyGusta:
I don't know I just lost 20% of my battery only after 15 minutes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kilometers4:
You have to give it a few cycles to let it settle down :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Icetray:
I heard that the kernel needs time to settle right? Shouldn't you wait at least 2 days first or something?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gyxter:
Wow! battery drain is extremely fast with 2.3 and siyah. It's draining 1% for like 5-10mins. I just hope there will be a difference after 1 to 2 charge cycles.

In 2.2 with default cm9 kernel, my battery lasted for 2days max with medium use and 3hrs of screen time with only 1 charge cycle.

Is it safe to flash cm9 kernel with 2.3 if ever?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adhir_g2007:
Some time it happens, give it a try once again and this time try "battery calibaration" available in store to calibrate your battery

And give new rom+kernel atleast 2 cycles to settle down

And see I am posting my stats again,

Even after 20 hrs ( music play + internet downloading + browsing + messaging + clicking pics) still I left with 14 % of battery :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Icetray:
Just upgraded to 2.3. Used the default installation and ran into no problems. Still on pitchblack. Play store and stuff seems to work fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adhir_g2007:
Yes it's all safe to flash CM9 with 2.3

But personally I dont think that its needed

And about your battery drain,let kernel settle down and give 2-3 more cycles then come to any conclusion :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] segag:
Yes you can flash CM9 kernel easily.. But give this one a try, let it run for a few days.. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
Before posting about battery drain did u check ur wakelocks?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adhir_g2007:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] gyxter:
Yes I will certainly try siyah with 2.3 and see if there's a difference after 2-3 charge cycles. If not I'm going back to cm9 :)

Thanks

Advice for those having battery drain: Stop complaining and post your bbs dump file and we will gladly help you or else don't post at all. How do you expect us to pinpoint your issue if we have no reference at all? One more thing guys, don't post any battery related post if you just flashed the rom. I Don't know how you could make a judgment about battery if you haven't used it a full cycle yet.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyGusta:
Wait what does a battery cycle means?

Like from 0% to 100% without unplugging it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
About media storage wakelocks it occurs when ur device is scanning for ur media files. It usually becomes high when u reboot ur device but it should settle down afterwards if it doesn't then disable media scanner.
