I don't notice much sharing of UOT zips and I assume it's because the guys who run the kitchen have made it so easy. None the less, it seems like a fun way to get something to flash. Please let me know too if this is a waste to share:)

UOT KITCHEN zips for JoelZ ICS Sense Redefined-Always Brilliant! after 2-18

(instructions copied from http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/ )

1. reboot into recovery.

2. choose "install zip from sdcard"

3. choose "choose zip from sdcard"

4. locate your file UOT-... .zip in SD

5. confirm "YES - install UOT ... .zip"

6. wait for script to finish

7. reboot phone

I've had no problems with any of these files and have flashed them multiple times. I don't know if I need permission but I have not received permission from JoelZ9614 (or anyone else for that matter) to post these.

Ignore or Enjoy!

JoelZ Rom is the longest I've stayed in awhile! It just keeps getting better! Thanks to him for ICS Sense Redefined-Always Brilliant!

These also take away the gps and I can't find the thread I got the zip from!!!! I'd really like to thank who ever that was so please if you know let me know.

Nice one. I'm preferring color changes over solid batteries these days.

Honeycomb has got to be my favorite but it sits funny on the ICS stat bar. I'm not sure why or if it's a rom or something needed on the kitchen's end but it cuts off a little on the bottom.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackberryfan:
Hi Guys as my title Says..

i need Help very Badly.

First of all MODS and USERS i'm sorry i didn't knew where to post this thread so if its in in-appropriate section please move it to correct section. THanks

OK my problem is this.

i recently (less than a week ago ) bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 its by Bell Canada and its i9100M. i bought it online since my service provider is Rogers.

i guess this phone is already rooted to unlock it and i can see CWM and SU icon there.

Well i'm a Hardcore Blackberry Fan and have been using Blackberries from last 6 years. I loved the new samsung because of it looks and its screen.

I Had Lot of Problem with it like setting up my yahoo as push email, setting the Ringtone Profile, setting up the Custom Ringtones for Text Messages..

Having wrong time stamps on Recieved TEXT Message.. well i fixed all those by installing apps from market and forwarding my yahoo to my gmail...

i Hated doing all that but infront of the beauty of this phone i had to compromise but today it took 3 hours to find my gps location and day by day im using it i'm hating it .....

SO OK I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ALOT... the more i'm researching the more i'm getting confused...

first of all what is the difference between custom ROM and KERNEL.

i know custom rom could be like operating system but customized by unofficial person.

what the h is KERNEL..

to install rom's or kernel do i really have to root.

To unlock do i have to root or is there a paying method.

also i want to know if i'll go back to stock rom can i still unlock it.and recieve all the updates from samsung or google specially when ICS will be launched.

after unlocking and installing custom root. can i unroot it

and lastly which is best custom kernel and which is the best rom availble.

since been a blackberry user i have very basic needs. i don't play any games or download much apps and if an app is paid..i'll pay for it.. i don't want to jailbreak anything .

all i need is better battery life, gps and network coverage.

Thanks for taking time to read and reply.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamSparx:
Hi there.

I'll try and get through your questions as simply as possible,

Imagine your phone is like a car

A kernel is like the engine of a car - it's the low level machinery that keeps it going.

The Rom is like the body of the car around the engine. Roms can be official (or Stock Roms), or they can be customised by other people.

So, when you install a stock rom - you're installing the kernel, but you're also installing the radio (called a modem or baseband) and the registration (or the CSC which is location specific information) as well as the unique 'body' of the car for that rom - tweaks, default software, etc.

You don't have to have rooted your phone to install a Rom. When you update your phone via Kies, you are, literally, installing an stock rom. You can even install stock roms from elsewhere without rooting your phone. Because stock roms are released in different regions at different times, lots of people update their phones to the latest official roms via this method - no root required.

However, to install a custom, unofficial rom, you will need to root your phone as they will require access to the 'root level directory' of your phone's file system - which is what root really means.

You can find everything you need to know about that, how to root and also lots of stock roms you can install without rooting here:

Some shops will root you phone for you if you want to go down that path and don't want to risk it. But it's easier than you think and the galaxy s2 is very hard to break. There's lots of help available on XDA - just remember to search before you ask so you don't ask a common question the millionth time.

If you have installed a custom rom you can easily re-install a stock rom over it that will still work with Kies and thus be updateable when ICS turns up.

There is no 'best' Rom or kernel. Some Roms go 'as is' and some are customisable to the nth degree if you like fiddling with your phone non-stop. I personally use CheckRom because I like the kitchen app that lets you swap kernels, modems and mods with ease - but check out the Original Android Development threads and see which other roms you like the sound of.

Depending on what you are currently running, a new rom - even a stock one if you're running a very old one - could easily help with battery and range issues. For GPS - try installing FasterFix from the market and see if reassigning your GPS fix to a closer location helps.

Best of luck - it's a great phone once you open up its possibilities :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackberryfan:
Thanks a lot for the reply

well your reply did help me a lot...

my phone is been already rooted by someone else already from the person i bought it....

as for searching i did a lot.. and its been confusing me more and more ..well thanks for your answer

also as u said S2 is hard to break..i guess u mean is that the JIG thing on EBAY

and as for flashing the stuff i've played with other stuff just not android thing ive replaced the os on BB and jailbreaked iphones and installed macintosh on HP PC and also worked on most of the languages 10 years ago... and i believe nothing is impossible so going to someone else is never an option for me

just want to know as much as stuff i can before going further

well i have few more questions

how can i find which rom or kernel is already installed...

i mean is it possible to tell if its stock or its customized and its customized by which group.

and one last thing.. u know the words u used modem and baseband...

i read about it before...

but my question is ...

IS THE BASEBAND ANYTHING LIKE IPHONE BASEBAND???

u know in iPhones when baseband is updated u r screwed sometimes its hard to jailbreak and definately hard to unlock and reverting changes to baseband....

is it the samething in Galaxy S2 as well...

Thanks a lot for replying...i really appreciate all the time you took to reply.

Thanks once again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
Yeah baseband is the code that handles the phone part of your smartphone. Talking to your wireless provider, 3G, texts all these things are done by baseband.

Flashing a different baseband won't screw your root, and you'd still be rooted. Samsung doesn't make it hard to root as Apple does to jailbreaking. Even if something goes wrong with a new version, you can always revert back to old one using Odin(Samsung ROM flashing tool) and you are good to go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackberryfan:
Thanks a lot... about that quick reply...

i'm gonna collect more information and hopefully i'll be flashing it on weekend...

but how can i find which rom or kernel is already installed...

i mean is it possible to tell if its stock or its customized and its customized by which group

[G2 and Desire Z General] namelessname:
I rooted my G2 about two months ago. I'm currently using MIUI, not the latest but the one before it. Somehow, my phone got turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it was stuck in a bootloop. I have a custom recovery image so I don't know if that affects anything. I tried to reboot into recovery by pressing volume down and power, nothing happened. I then did volume up and power. It vibrated three times and the orange light started flashing. I pulled the battery and now when I try to turn it on, nothing happens. So how do I reboot into recovery and so I can restore my backup? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DinoSoup:
Never pull the battery during something like that. It sounds like your bricked. Someone else confirm?
[G2 and Desire Z General] namelessname:
I don't think it's bricked. I plugged it up and then Clockwork came up so I selected reboot now. Clockwork came up again so I tried to restore my latest backup and the screen went black. I'm going to let it charge and then give it another try.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DinoSoup:
Ok good. That's lucky because whenever you pull on a boot like that, it usually bricks. If you have the option, try to re-flash your ROM. Maybe even try stock. If you were getting a black screen, it's most likely you flashed incorrectly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] namelessname:
Ok, I was able to boot into recovery and now I'm restoring my backup. I don't think I had a custom recovery image with this one so hopefully I won't get stuck in a bootloop. When you say stock, do you mean before I flashed MIUI (it was the first rom I flashed)? Thank you for your suggestions and all of your help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ajhavery:
first install adb on you PC, it helps a lot in these kind of cases.

1. try "adb logcat", it would tell you about what's going on in your machine.

2. once you get your adb working, try "adb reboot recovery" to see if it could boot your phone in recovery.

3. if after doing everything you fail to boot either your phone or in recovery then try using PC10IMG to boot a stock rom and then re-root your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] namelessname:
I got it back working. For some reason, I'm just starting to think that it needed charging (the battery had been out for about a day or two). I do have adb installed and configured on my computer since I needed it to root. Thank you for your suggestions, I will definitely rember them if this happens again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonione:
lol of course when you get black screen and led blnking means your battery begging for juice, you're lucky that when the phone booted back in recovery and you tried to restore a backup the phone went off before actually starting to restore, that would've bricked your phone

DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WITHOUT AT LEAST 40% OF JUICE LEFT

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
Volume down + power will get you to hboot (bootloader), you can then select recovery from there.

Vol up + power is Qualcomm download mode, which is unusable.

Do a search for MIUI.us on Google. Under development in the forums you will find themes. Also I just found Micentral(click on themedex) has all the good themes with links to original post.
[Motorola Droid X2] priddyma:
If you open up the "Themes" app, you can click "Resource Detail".

You can view all of themes available. Some may show in Chinese on there, but when you install it it is all in English.

Oh and also:

I prefer mixing and matching parts of themes.

Just go to whatever theme you want (has to be downloaded already).

And un-check whatever you don't want to apply.

I prefer the Black Ice lock screen, so I would go to Black Ice, scroll down, and un-check everything but that.

This file is an optimized version of gps.conf for Portugal that allows faster gps locking by using servers and configurations specific for Portugal.

Instalation:

Case 1 - Before new ROM is installed

Open the zip file of the ROM and put the gps.conf file inside the /system/etc folder, replacing the original file. Install ROM zip as usual.

Case 2 - After ROM is already installed

With any file manager that has access to system folder (like rootexplorer), copy the file to /system/etc/, replacing the existing file. Reboot.

Note: I'm not the author of the file, but I don't remember where I got it... all credits to its creator :D

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] telmosousa:
You must extract the file from gps.zip then replace the one in \etc\gps.conf then reboot your device and try it. If it don't work maybe it is not compatible. For instance, I'm using Aurora last version on my u8800 with a internet data plan and I don't need to tweak nothing it works great from install without modifieing nothing. Try with a active data plan to see if it works better/quicker.

Rom zip is if you'll instal a new rom you can extract the content of gps.zip to the new rom zip and flash all together. Hope to had helped you.
