Yes Sir you have to flash the firmware. I'm not an expert but i guess this rom would have the installation through odin in order to do what u described.

This rom provide just the normal zip.

You have to flash the XXLPB through odin, root your phone with the same kernel provided by chainfire in order to have CMW, 4wipes and then Install the zip from sd card.

click this one for firmware download and installation instructions

And this one for the root instructions and root kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themadba:
Thanks for your quick reply. I find it strange that the developer didn't put up an installation guide. I know how to flash and all, but he could have told us that we have to flash XXLPB first!! I was about to flash the ROM as it was!! Good job I always keep a recent backup on CWM!

Thanks again,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m3ik0:
It was a pain for me too cause i searched alot. But this is super easy. I have edited my post with the links. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themadba:
Thank you very much friend, you have made my day!

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m3ik0:
Just follow every instraction to the letter ;) And you will be fine. Note that its good to have 60% and more battery to continue.. Old rule since i got my first smartphone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themadba:
I know of this golden rule too!

One more question to annoy you with, I notice that the ROM is OXX Multi-CSC. My phone is CPW CSC which is not included in the OXX CSC. (correct me if I am wrong!) If I flash this ROM, will I lose my connectivity? (2G/3G) I am on Tesco Mobile, but it uses the O2 Network. Does OXX support all CSC's?

I hope I explained that alright.

Thanks,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m3ik0:
I dont know the answear to this. Sorry. But i dont think there is a problem cause u flash a new csc. If ur firmware download is complete you will see the csc .tar file.. But in order to be sure just ask in the Firmware thread. Do small and sure steps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Well i did flash this rom and straight away i reverted back to my backup. Why because firstly when pressing the touching was not as responsive as cm9 and when trying to type again some of the buttons were not responding...i am sure when fully official roms are leaked this will be a good rom but for now i reverted back to gingerbread....And thanks for the guide above even if it was to late but as someone said what is the point to go through those steps just to flash the rom..

Anyway i will be keeping a close eye on the thread and thanks to the dev for putting his time into making this:)

That could be the reason why when i reverted back to gingerbread every time my phone loaded up it kept on switching off again....flashed siyah and it worked fine but it was really odd to be honest
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
Works for me in the UK (Virgin) T-Mobile (Multi-CSC so should not be an issue)

NB. backup/write down or (after install) get O2 to send your APN (internet) settings to your phone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themadba:
Cheers lad,

I'll assume these are the settings under Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names?

Thanks,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
yeah thats the one!

you can have them sent to your phone from the tesco website if you make a mistake :D

Tesco
[Galaxy S II Android Development] datsunboy:
No you don't need to flash the stock Samsung firmware first.

You can flash this ROM directly over GB.

So the instructions in the first post are correct.

The only time you'd need to flash the stock firmware (edit + the CF root kernal) is if your device isn't rooted yet
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:
Hmmm - I'm pretty sure... Will it have any bad effects wiping those *after* using the phone for a little while?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
No should just be slow to boot as it will rebuild caches when you reboot

Do a backup beforehand for that ultra safe feeling :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:
Cool. What I've just noticed is by using the stock kernel, I don't get CWM (funny that!) So I've downloaded the CF-Root kernels for LP6 and LPB with CWM5 built in and I'll have a tinker with those...

I'm only a relative noob with the SGSII - my last phone was a HTC Incredible S - so I'm trying to get my head around all the differences in terminology and such...

EDIT: Starting off with: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Hmmm - I cleared the cache and dalvik cache. Still managed to get a process stop responding.

I launched Facebook, logged in for the first time, then went back to the home screen. After getting to the home screen, everything froze. After a little while I got a dialog box saying that the process android.process.acore has stopped responding...

After I dismiss that, things are back to normal until it happens again...

EDIT: Ah ha! Its the facebook contact syncing that causes it to crash. Turning all that off seems to fix it. If I try to sync contacts, it will crash the android.process.acore thread again. Stupid Facebook.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xBlackDroid:
hey bro, after a long day with this rom, i can say that is very stable...

but you have some solution, for how to install some apps, like xda premium or fifa?

With others kernels was working
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:
Via the Market?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xBlackDroid:
The XDA-Premium App, i made a back up from Cyano7, and i can't reinstall, i bougth again, and said the same "cant install the app"

and the same with others free or paid games, it is spacially maybe with this kernel, im running in other S2 a ICS rom all the apps with out problems ( AndyxRom 4.1 sorry for the spam)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:
Hmm - not sure... I have had no issues installing apps via Market... That being said, I've only really tested it over wifi... Not sure if you're using wifi for it or not...

thanks for the reply.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
unmount the sdcard then install
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
this is due to security check in LPB kernel (done by sammy)

four options

1. Unmount SD card from settings

2. Force TB to restore in to internal sd card(you can find this under preferences)

3. Flash Original LPB Kernel (you still have root but no CWM)

4. Flash LP6 rooted kernel (this will break FM radio)

Those are the options you have so choose whatever most suitable for you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] normally_crazy:
I cannot restore any apps from TB. Why ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
did you not read the posts adove yours?

Read before posting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] normally_crazy:
I did read, am not blind. Nothing happens with any method.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
Amy of those options will get TB working for you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] normally_crazy:
I tried options 1 and 2 - nothing worked.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Larpeiran:
Hi everyone, I´he just proved this ROM and all works great but my data connection, anyone knows how can I fix it, becouse I only can connect by Wifi

Thanx

EDIT: I answered myself, I just have to configure the APN point. Thanx anyway
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
did you select the default restore point as internal SD card? if so there should be any problems with TB however you won't be able to install apps from market which uses the sd card for installation
[Galaxy S II Android Development] normally_crazy:
I did but TB could not restore the apps. I use a TB Pro version - could that be playing up ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
No I have the paid app too. And I also do have few apps which use the sd card. Never had a problem after changing the restore point. Try the LP6 kernel then
[Galaxy S II Android Development] normally_crazy:
I do not have a SD card - only the internal memory and phone memory. Let me try.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
What happens when you try to restore ? does it hang up?

Legend is gonna fix this in next fix update pack one :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themadba:
Oh, thanks. I am already CF rooted so I'm set?

All I have to do is stick the ROM onto the internal sdcard, boot in CWM, and then apply update via sdcard? (after four wipes obviously)

Thanks,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] etherez:
Does this rom support native videocalling?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] datsunboy:
After you do all your wipes, yes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
Try THIS

For the life of me I can't find who did this (please let me know so I can give you credit)

It's in a CWM flashable ZIP
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arilsongomes:
What do I have to do with it? In which folder do I have to put it, etc?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Don't do this:

If you want to install it manually, you extract the bootanimation.zip from the CWM zip and place the bootanimation.zip in system/media.

Read this:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] arilsongomes:
Thx for your answer. It made me read again and see that it's simplier than I thought, after all it's a flashable zip! shame on me...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] override182:
Good luck with that. Nandroid 1st as i faced bootloops on some ICS roms doing that. Works on Neophyte's latest rom anyway. Me likey the Nyandroid BootAni
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:

Thanks for the clarification; will edit my post so no one "falls on the sword". I forget that I'm running a hacked kernel sometimes.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] bitmappp:
all of a sudden while using messaging app when press on "line break/another line" it right away sending the sms.. how can i activate "line break/ another line"?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:
Ok, so I've been using this ROM for a few days and theres a couple of things that I'd like to see fixed (in order of preference):

1) Black text on dark grey buttons is a no-no. While text would be good.

2) Still having random issues with process.android.acore stopping working at seemingly random intervals.

3) The CRT off animation is out by a fraction so the screen flashes for a few ms at full brightness before shutting off.

4) Holding the power button down while the phone is locked brings up the power off / reboot menu options. This shouldn't happen!

5) This may be an ICS thing, but having the number of unread emails / SMS messages overlayed on the icon for messaging / email in the dock would be nice.

6) The tethering / wifi Hotspot icon needs to be themed to blue/black to match everything else. Currently its a white / black icon and looks wildly out of place.

7) When enabling Wifi Hotspot, it will disable wifi (as expected) but then disabling the wifi hotspot does not reenable wifi. It should remember the state of wifi before starting the hotspot and restore it afterwards.

8) Update Apex Launcher to v0.2 beta.

Pretty much everything else I have used on it so far works as expected. I use kernel XXLPB CF-Root with CWM 5 and the FM Radio works. Radio is also XXLPB. Battery usage is about 25% in a work day - which I can't really complain about.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
1 & 7. Is a LPB problem.

2. Are you syncing contacts with FB

3 & 6Needs a fix

4 & 5. It is an ICS thing

8. Most people have switched back to nova 14 & I think legend was going to in next update
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elroy944:
has legend stoped working on this? i was hoping to see an update pack for the (too) dark theme it's kinda hard to read
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sean is here.:
He's probably working on that, but if you scroll back about 5 pages...he got reprimanded and can't post until the 21st of Feb.:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elroy944:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] EMT9:
:) Don't worry development is not halted, I'm just busy these days :P

I will fix the buttons and the big Wifi Icon today hopefully, any other things you Guys want fixed?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elroy944:
great to hear that cause i like this rom very much. i'm a lot on the road and the black theme is hard to read in the car, so i was hoping you could make them back again like in rc6
[Galaxy S II Android Development] danielck78:
Great to hear some news from you! I am still sticking to your ROM even there is not much development recently. Its running smooth and stable so far. Almost no or maybe just 1 or 2 FCs and probably it's bcos of the apps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:

I don't expect that he'll just give up on something that he's so vigorously passionate about. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mxpxboi:
Leaving Gingerbead...? Hopefully.

I'm very interested in trying this ROM. I really love having my Deluxe AOSP lock screen that I can unlock to camera, gmail, and google music, turn the flash on and off, put phone in vibrate, as well as unlock normal. I would HATE to lose this functionality. Is there any lock screen like that currently for ICS builds? What does the built in lock screen consist of?

I also want CRT-Off which this ROM I see has.

And I need the battery mod I like, which I read http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ now supports ICS. So that works.

So really my only question is the lock screen and my options.

Thanks in advance to anyone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sean is here.:
Your battery mod link didn't really show me a battery mod. Best bet would be a screenshot or a description.

Legend's a pretty nice guy about requests:D. He'll do what he can when he can, I'd bet.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mxpxboi:
Click on battery and then on use this mod, and then you can customize your own special battery mod.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SimboXXX:
You can do all that with WidgetLocker, which works on ICS
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mxpxboi:
Awesome! I'll flash and try that! Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themadba:
Hi,

I'm just wondering, I have my phone CF-rooted. Do I do the four wipes in CWM, stick this ROM onto the internal sdcard of my phone, and install update via zip? Or am I to flash this ROM via odin?

Thanks,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] datsunboy:
Flash via cwm.

Do not use odin
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xiaohanhan:
Can anyone confirm this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] acantril:
Can anyone do a test for me, try 'feedly' on this ROM. I have an odd bug where if i start the app i cant swipe to either side (you will understand when in the app). If i change the theme from light to dark (or viceversa) then it works, until the phone sleeps and then when i start it again it doesnt allow swipes.. (until a theme change).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bitmappp:
is line break under your messaging app working? i'm using "perfect keyboard" when i press on line break it apparently sending my sms. with "swiftkey X" it is working, but i like "perfect keyboard" better.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elroy944:
anyone who wants the too dark buttons and text fixed can flash this theme, it worked for me, you can flash it in recovery. Make sure you make a backup of your rom just in case if you don't like it to revert back

all credits to jrsoft

and i'm using now ICS lockscreen with 4 shortcuts wich looks amazing. you can try it out for yourself by installing widgetlocker

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christian99:
You guys are the best at mixing up everyboy. Thanks for the post (in quote), I was thinking with their post that I had to flash the stock and re-roote my phone in order to instal this Rom... And now, everybody placed a doubt in my head. SO I am on CM9... I just use recovery to flash this and can do the same to go back on CM9 if I dont like .. Right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] elroy944:
yes that's correct, just flash again with recovery, or you can backup your cm9 now in recovery and if this isn't what you like you can just restore cm9 from recovery including all your data and apps what you had at the time you made the backup.

to make backup and restore just go to "backup and restore" in recovery it's very easy
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EMT9:
Okay, so I decided that next releases when a new leak comes out will be stock themed but I will provide a flash able zip for the theme. What do you think?

And development hasn't stopped it's just that I'm really busy these days

Hi guys. I'm using this Rom but I have a problem, I installed the Samsung wallpapers (very badly) and I lost the default gray wallpaper, and I want it back if it's possible...

How can do it?? Reflashing?? It's the default wallpaper in Apex Launcher or is built in the Rom??

I'm thinking that I have it in the lockscreen, but I can't find it.

Thanks for the good work with this Rom, it's amazing :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dubist:
i cant install any apps on my sd card why this ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] acantril:
Anyone able to try Feedly for me, when you first start the app up (or after you've been using it and the phone has been in sleep) can you scroll side to side.. its almost like it doesnt detect the touch aspect of the sceen.

GOing into options and changing the theme (light or dark) makes it work again, until the next sleep.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hluu0111:
I am using SGS2.

I was with Rarity ROM 4.2 before trying this Simplistic ICS RC7.

But then, I decided to come back to Rarity!

Reasons are that I could not install any apps on SD card nor can I move them there, the time to load the apps is way too long, internet speed is slow, number of FCs of apps is quite high, etc.

Love to come back to it in the near future ...

Hluu
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Joel1030:
By far a very good ROM... only thing is i'm getting random freezes and reboots sometimes... and sometimes my screen feels kind of laggy when i scroll. Anyone with this problems?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mauronedj:
For the SD problem you must install first the original kernel of of LPB and then the relative CD-Root kernel!

For a quick workaround you can unmount external sd-card when you install an app (from market or whatelse) and then remount it.

(You can do this by an option under the memory submenu on the android option)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jorel000:
Yeah. It's based on a leaked kernel so don't expect it to be 100% perfect. For me, the best version is still RC6 since RC7 has so many bugs. Btw, the reason your screen feels laggy is because the current builds eat so much RAM. You might wanna try clearing your RAM if it feels laggy.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] coyote_f:
Should i use the KI3 modem or can i stay on LPB modem. Why is KI3 Modem in RC7 instead of LPB Modem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sean is here.:
Personal choice. LPB has a working FM Radio, but a couple of other bugs including but not limited to SD card issues. KI3 lacks FM Radio, and has a few other bugs of its own.
