Just killed my installation of RC2 by installing this theme: http://www.cellcustomize.com/2012/04/miui-v4-blue-mod-by-tavo/

Looks like a bootloop, how can I fix it without wiping, forgot to make a backup :(

Btw. I can't set a ringtone for whatsapp, whenever I open the dialogue to select a ringtone, the window is empty and it seems like it isn't even looking for a ringtone because the "online" tab shows whole themes. And browser is crashing when I scroll through the browsing history. These are the issues I found so far.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Now you need to do factory reset to bring it to default condition.

If you just clear delvik cache and cache data and flash rom, it will not.change theme.....so you need to make it default by factory reset
[Galaxy S II Android Development] d3l1:
Crap so there is no other way to reset the theme, too bad. Guess I'll wait for your final and start over then.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
Does the theme has font in it? If yes, probably your boot loop causes by the font. Reflash the rom without wiping anything and you should be fine. If not, then you should do factory reset like Rohit said.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] d3l1:
Yes, Font Bootanimation framework, the whole package apparently. Will give it a try.

EDIT: no chance, still looping around. I formatted system and caches but it's still not working. The errors are on the data partition right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
im always applying MIUI theme without the font :p,encountered 3 prob now after applying the full miui theme(including the fonts)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] frewys:
+ 1 fubar my system with font few weeks back
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
then it wasn't font problem. as far as I know, theme only applies to /system, so even the framework has defect, after re-flashing rom, it should be restored to original.

last attempt, try to pull out the battery, leave it for 1-2 minutes and reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
That will not help.....

Apply themes without font and framework
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
if you have ics compatible fonts, just replace Roboto-Regular.ttf and Roboto-Bold.ttf in /system/fonts and then reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] d3l1:
it's a beta thema so maybe that's the problem :( didn't think a font or a framework would kill my system that bad and even flashing the rom again won't recover that. strange though because normally the system should contain both framework and font, right?

about the ringtone issue I added in my first post on last page, any ideas why whatsapp doesn't recognize any ringtones?

I already installed a font and it worked fine, something about that theme is broken. the link is in post 4201 if anyone wants to investigate :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:

How do I disable CRT effect on RC2?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PrinzEisenherz1:
a little donatioon for your great work!

i look forward for a new gb-version!

Johnny
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rexboy:
Cheers for the reply. Attempted to install RC2 from GB9 only, hadnt tried it from RC1 so will give that a go later. Only other MIUI ive tried is scorpious and that worked. Its actually the only ROM ive ever had this problem with.

Im thinking its an allergy lol but what was annoying was that after the bootloop, id go into recovery and my CWM backup that i just created didnt work. I usually have about 3-4 backups and none of them worked. Got the md5 checksum error. Couldnt work out a solution around this so i had to flash GB9 and set my stuff up all over again (although Titanium does help alot with that).

So i know if i attempt it again, im certiain my backups will be useless so tempted to wait for an RC3 vs reinstalling all my stuff again. Shame as CWM has never failed me before. Dont get why all of a sudden my backups wouldnt reinstall, even ones made alot earlier on various ROMs including GB9 which im currently using.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Ha ha, replace framework-res from miuius to rgui
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Thanks for the donation buddy....

About next gb, what you want to in that? Because miui stopped developing gb version, so i will try to add things and fix bugs

Edit:- hey thats second donation from you....thanks buddy.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fire_fist:
There isn't an option in Settings ala Gingerbread?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
No there is no option in ics like gb.

Because miui dont add those mods. I modify framework
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jclarel:
Rohit

I've remembered one of your earlier warnings concerning the CRT effect... and just checked that it's working...

If you use Spare Parts and set Window animations to 'fast', the CRT effect will be disabled... ;)

And if you reset to normal, the CRT effect will be enabled again... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Ha ha again you saved me.....

Yes, by that way you can enable disable crt animation
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jclarel:
No probs! ;)

Cheers

Switching between mobile networks (2g/3g) doesn't work

Otherwise seems fine so far but I could really use this option...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Just reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
RC2 RGUI froze 3 times for the past 2 days...

froze after im trying to wake-up the phone from/during lockscreen...

is it random or known issues?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Its either lockscreen theme issue or kernel issue
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
i'll start with Kernel...changing to DK afterward :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Ok, let me know result then :-p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
btw...NEAK + RC2 battery result (forgot to take the screen shot :p)

Approx 10-11hrs (5 hrs of sleep)

with 3g mode all the time

None heavy surfing...just few MINUTES for FB & checking XDA

Few minutes of Run Run Bear game :p

Left me about 40 - 50 % of battery...

now on my 2nd full recharge after battery calibration...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vepo:
Doesn't help.

Using RC2 which I didn't mention before. Coming from Asnet MIUI which had the same problem and was hoping that it would have been fixed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
few people face it, few people not.

here is small solution:-

1. disable Internet first

2. Now switch to 2g or 3g

3. now connect internet
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
I think it is a known issue in MIUI V4...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
that is good result.....see what screen on time you get
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vepo:
That worked and is better than nothing. Thanks.

Proper fix would be appreciated though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
I got 21 hrs (7 hrs flight mode, 1.5 hrs screen on, wifi/3g all the time, sync on, location on, light use of calls, online game, whatsapp and xda) with Siyah 3.2.2 without UV and battery still 68%. :D

Now I manage more than 1 hr xda browsing with 10% battery consumption. :D :D :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jclarel:
First discharge, after reinstalling RC2 with Siyah 3.2.2 - I f...ed my config after installing some v4 beta theme...!

Wifi on most of the time, with data on at times, and both wifi and data off for 6hrs, FB browsing, Twitter, Flipboard, Instagram, Play Store updates, Whatsapp, some calls and sms... No game play though...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
I'll need 2nd test to get my screen shot... Forgot to take it b4...

Btw... I need DK kernel link, anyone1?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
thats cool, now do one thing.....try neak kernel, try to keep same usage and check result
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
GR...

what's the worst damages if i flashed my sgs2 with un-compatible/wrong kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
you can loose recovery mode or bootloops in worst case you can brick your device :D

edit:- nice signature :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
you too try neak kernel.....and try to test on same usage like you mentioned
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
is it the right link ?

Click This
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
yes right link
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
DK ICS Kernel test result ....

Stucked at bootscreen for approx 15 minutes :p

cant go no where,and i have to reflash NEAK to back to normal state

------------------

btw, Siyah 3.2.3 is out ..... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
It means dk is not compatible with miui.

Test neak only.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
any specific setting u want me to test for NEAK...?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Check on deadline+ondemand....uc it to 1000
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jclarel:
Will try later and let you know by tomorrow with some usage...

BTW, just encountered the weirdest kind of bugs ever... my power/lock button became totally unresponsive, and I could neither lock nor power off my phone... :eek:

I had to reboot from my notification toggles for the phone to become normal again... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Cant predict whats the reason.....i heard first time. Is it after switching the kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jclarel:
Don't know if it's related to the kernel, I changed to Siyah 3.2.2 since yesterday immediately after reflashing RC2... that's more than 23hrs later now...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
On NEAK with Ondemand + Uc 1000 now....will report later
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Hours is not issue....did you uc?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jclarel:
No uc, oc, or uv... just default settings...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Cant predict....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jclarel:
No worries, hope it's just a one-off bug and that it will not recur... ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donchen:
Help please!!!

I was on GB v9. Then i installed N.E.A.K-1.4.2x.zip. Then i choose to reboot. But then it never came back on. When i reboot, it just shows Samsung symbol with the construction icon. And then it just goes off.

What did i do wrong?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anlimdy22:
Anybody can provide mirror for V9 and RC2? The link provided is very slow! Try to download few times but always went interrupt during halfway..huhu
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donchen:
What should i do now? I can get into download mode. Should i flash NEAK kernel using ODIN?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manish21nov:
Nup i installed dk . First time it got stuck but sec after ultimae kernel clearing tool and wipe cache and dalvik did the trick
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
weirdo...

For me Cwm Recovery > ultimate kernel cleaner > Flash Dk > Reboot & stucked

2nd

Cwm Recovery > ultimate kernel cleaner > Flash Dk > Wiped cache & dalvik > Reboot & stucked

:confused:

Keep trying,,,,most of us having the same issues,maybe u shud try during non peak hr :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donchen:
Hey Welll84,

How did you reflash NEAK? Via Odin?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Are you sure its for gb?? Means its neak gb kernel??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
You need .tar file, for odin. Put it in pda and flash
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donchen:
Yes. I am pretty sure is NEAK kernel for GB.

Nvm about that now.

Now I am on ODIN with my phone on download mode. What should i do next?

I think NEAK GB kernel is not compatible with MIUI.

Can you provide me your dirty kernel in ODIN?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Put kernel.tar file in pda and flash
[Galaxy S II Android Development] d3l1:
In download mode, open odin with admin rights and open the kernel .tar file in pda tab. Don't change any of the check boxes, connect the phone to your computer and wait for odin to turn yellow in the top right field and saying "added" in the text box. Now press flash and wait for the phone to reboot, done. When you are asked for the pin, you can unplug the phone from the computer. For a detailed guide with pictures go to the development thread and look for the original firmware thread, the first post contains a guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13712988
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donchen:
NEAK kernel is not compatible. I need RGUI dirty kernel .tar to flash in ODIN

Thank for the info guys. Now i don't know what kernel to flash so that I won't screw up again..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Download siyah.tar and flash via odin....

Be sure you flash gb siyah....

Check my battery tweaks thread from my sig, there you will get link for siyah gb kernel..... then download siyah.tar and flash.

After flashing siyah you will get access to cwm, then flash dirty kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donchen:
Thanks!

I went to download this - Siyah-v2.6.14.tar.

Flashed it via ODIN. Now my phone is alive again. Geez. I seriously thought i bricked my phone man... phew..

Thank you all.

Is there anyway yet to sort apps in the app drawer?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Nop,but you can use other launchers like apex or go launcher
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fire_fist:
Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fire_fist:
In RC2, is there a way to shorten the delay for the "Press back to close app" setting? It's much quicker in GB. I think I remember there being one for GB but can't find it in ICS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
NEAK + ONDEMAND + UC 1000

I SLEPT BOUT 5-6 HRS (without touching the phone)... Once awake, pretty heavy browsing + download

3g was on all the time
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Nop its not there like gb
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
What was screen on time?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
46% screen on....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Tap on screen, and let me know in hours.

As per me, you should atleast get 30min in 10% with normal use
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
Wifi tethering + 3g on + xda & fb browsing
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Nop its not good then.....you should have atleast get min 2.15hr by this usage.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
thought so...changing to siyah 3.2.3 now :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Hmm ok, i think siyah is reliable for now
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Prashanthme:
Hi dude Nice ROM.. I installed it in the morning,.. Now had a sudden reboot!! Is it common or is it a bug?? ll Check for few days and report back :)

Thanks for the ROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
On what you got reboot??

You will not able to check it for few days,:D because RC3 coming on sunday
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Prashanthme:
One more problem.. i accidently gave deny for my Go sms Pro which is 3rd party APP... Now its not sending any msgs... Any solution
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Open supersu app and grant permission :)

If supersu app is not there, download it from market
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheQuarterMile:
But then that takes away the charm from miui...

Is there no way you can fix this?

Any reason why the miui team is avoiding it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
May be because, there are other high priority things which needs to be fixed first
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Prashanthme:
Ya thanks saw it now.. Now That carrier label not working.. I changed in the settings to display ON.. but still its not showing.. U hav put up a google pic rite for the carrier label?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Are you ics or gb?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Prashanthme:
GB... WY i should hav been on ICS??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Check post 5, for changing carrier logo
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Prashanthme:
Do i need to be on ICS for installing MIUI ICS RC2??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Nop no need, you can flash on gb
[Galaxy S II Android Development] d3l1:
You need an ICS kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
If someone want to test how good is a kernel, then I would suggest to post following screenshots with correct order:

1. Cpu spy during flight mode for some hours (after wake up from your sleep). The goal is to know how good the deep sleep during no connection at all.

2. Screen on time after using your device for daily use. Do it at night after you finish with your work or college.

3. Cpu spy that contains some hours of flight mode n some hours of daily use. The goal is to know approx. how light or heavy your daily use. So 1 hour screen on browsing xda n 1 hour playing heavy game make really different for your battery.

4. Battery usage n its graph. Here we can know how much your battery left, how good your mobile signal, whether the gps or wifi are used, how often your device awake during idle.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Prashanthme:
link pls.. Do i neeed ODIN or just CWm flashable??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
Use the search tool or just google for it.... Btw, go to gokhanmoral.com for kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Prashanthme:
Dude search tool not working... So only asked!!;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
I think the Siyah's 18 steps cpu freqs could bring benefit for battery life. In 3.2.4, Gokhan will introduce the pegasusq governor that I read could use 18 steps more effectively than any other governors.

And using 100 Mhz as min freq can save more your battery juice (at least for me). However some devices could have problem with it like the alarm is not triggered in the morning. :D Just try it...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
You dont need ics kernel for flashing ics rom, you can flash on gb v9
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
Testing siyah 3.2.3 now
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
And i am testing tomorrow's build :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
I think this is what u need,

Download siyah kernel or others,

Download rc2 rom

From your current Rom ie gb9

Perfom a full wipe,

Flash ur rc2,

"If u want a different kernel, "

Download ultimate kernel cleaning,

Flash the ukc, then flash ur downloaded kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
Rc3...?? :(

Going for work trip til next month
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Ohh, i will not have one of my tester now :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
Im good with rc2 now... Stable enuf for me for daily usage...

______

Siyah 3.2.3

4 % dropped after 30 minutes

With hspda on + fb&xda surfing :D

Uc to 1000
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Always check screen on time....after 10%.....atleast you should get 30min screen on time
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
Any major improvement for rc3 or just the same as miui changelogs?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] d3l1:
I have time to test rc3, just pm me your instructions if you want me to participate :-)

You don't need an ics kernel to flash an ics rom, but you can't run an ics rom with a gb kernel. So better flash an ics kernel, then flash the ics rom so you can boot it directly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
No no, ics rom comes with kernel.

So when you flash ics rom it also installs ics kernel.

You dont need to flash ics kernel seperately.

Every rom comes with kernel no matter its gb or ics.

About rc3, you will get tomorrow. I am testing pre-release china miui build
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
I am not working on rc3, i will start working after miui china final release
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hwwr:
Hi RG, is there anyway to make the scrolling to be like GB?

Tried different kernels but all feels similar.

The ICS scrolling feels abit lag with delay.

Somehow GB scrolling is more reponsive.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SufiSam:
Okay, so I did a factory reset on my phone, wiped cache and dalvik cache, and then flashed the zip. Then, I've rebooted my phone. I did get the SiyahKernel logo, but then it's stuck on a black screen since the past few minutes. Have I done something wrong? It's stuck on the black screen for the past 5 minutes or so...

EDIT: Never mind. I got a white screen now. So, hopefully, it should get installed within a few more minutes...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Lets see what we can do....will try my best
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SufiSam:
Umm, sorry to interrupt once again, but the phone is taking really long to get through the CM9 boot animation.. It's more than 10 minutes or so, and the boot screen is progressing really, really slowly. Is this normal? I'm worried because this is the first time I'm dealing with a MIUI ROM.. Once again, sorry for the noob-ish question, Rohit..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
Is it gb or ics rgui?

If its gb its take time to flash....so its ok.

If its ics and it stuck at bootscreen.....then either do hard switch off and reboot

Or

Flash rom+flash siyah kernel and reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SufiSam:
Thanks for the quick reply! It is the ICS version of RGUI. It isn't exactly stuck at the boot screen. But it's progressing very, very slowly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Welll84:
If u flashing kernel (updating / changing)... I'll suggest u use kernel cleaning script
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SufiSam:
I did the hard switch off, and reflashed the RGUI zip from the Touch CWM. And again, the same thing is happening. The boot animation is progressing really slowly.

I also tried a kernel cleaning script, but I'm stuck with the same results...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:

Hi Rohit :)

Is there any way I can set up led buttons at the bottom of the phone to fade when not used? I have GB V9 + Syiah. My wife has GB9 + default kernel - and the buttons fade after 1 second after pressing - that might save a lot of battery (now the leds are turned on all the time im using the phone)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
go to settings>display>advanced>edit other levels> under button tab make 255 to 0
[Galaxy S II Android Development] thugzie:
