CWM Flashable ICS ROM!

What's inside:

XXLPQ -> duh

LPQ Modem

LPJ CSC -> international

SU (you need to download Superuser from Market)

Busybox

Nova Launcher (as primary, TWLauncher is on the SD for install with DarkyOTA)

Lots of apps moved to SD (67) if you miss anything, feel free to install them back using DarkyOTA

custom apns-conf

deodexed

zipaligned

more small stuff

LPQ Kernel:

Touch Recovery

su

bootanimation

init.d

Do factory restore (data wipe) through CWM before flashing

Most issues come from the updated boot loaders since Samsung started releasing ICS... It's the sole reason that I released a Odin custom ROM for KL1 (on darkyrom.com) So people that did flash stock ICS from Samsung have a way of getting older, better, custom-friendly boot loaders and a stable ROM to begin with. CF-Root and the kernel that I released have little in difference. We do the same exact thing (well I do not include Superuser or DarkyOTA in it). Difference is just in the way we accomplish them ;) I also make sure that I have /data and /system mounted when the recovery boots and that is all. It's a hacked stock kernel ;)

You can not boot because Samsung does not want you to boot custom firmwares! Even my Jig stopped working with ICS Bootloaders and I could no longer clear my counter...

Your "Weather on Lockscreen" FCs because it has been removed and it has been explained how to be brought back.

You might need to flash twice because the first time the installer was not able to properly mount /data or any other partition for a good install, but the kernel should have flashed alright, so the second run will go fine (I will work on that)

Commenting that you do not have root with this ROM is not serious! It's properly stated in the OP that you need to get Superuser from Market! Along with DarkyOTA, to have access to the uninstalled apps.

If you flashed v2 and still have Chrome... I have no clue... the app is not in v2.

This ROM is nothing but a Stock deodexed rooted and cleaned ROM.

For those who do not follow me elsewhere, I release primarily Base ROMs and kernels, that are just like this one, or in Odin package that give a good experience and nice battery life without all unnecessary Samsung services and apps without putting many extra features. Those get developed by the rest of the Darky team and get distributed through the OTA app, so you can make almost anything out of this base release.

USB access has changed since ICS and you have to go much deeper to get it working ;)

For USB: Disconnect USB Cable -> Settings -> More... -> USB utilities -> Connect Storage to PC -> Turn USB Debug (if on) -> Connect USB Cable -> Turn on USB storage

Yeah... it's lengthy

[Galaxy S II Android Development] brack11:
Is it CWM flashable or odin?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
CWM :) missed to put in the post
[Galaxy S II Android Development] warriorofice:
More faster is impossible.

Downloading.

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brack11:
Maybe some screens and features descriptions? Would be nice =)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
thankx a bunch man. Just a quick question any reason for not including SU app (not a big deal though)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] droid_1989:
Does this have face unlock, and is Camera fully functionable?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brack11:
Oh yeah, Camera is big concern for me too
[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
this is the official build man so it has to :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
:) well, it's freely downloadable through the Market and you actually will not need it until you connect to google and get some apps that might use it :)

DarkyOTA is also not included for the same reason.

Latest SU bin on board though :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eep2378:
Nice! I was wondering when we were gonna see a darky rom :)

Sent from Wernicke's Area
[Galaxy S II Android Development] n-zocker:
hey ficeto,

can you put the kernel separately for download?

thx a lot!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] popo90:
can I install this on a 2.3.5 rooted SGS2? or do i need to install the stock ICS first?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ahmedzeeshan:
Used to be a big fan of Darky ROMS on my SGS. Glad to see it making an appearing on ICS for the SGS2. Downloading now :)

Thanks ficeto. Is Joel also developing for the SGS2? Are you guys planning on releasing a fully-loaded Darky ICS Rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rehanraza:
one quick question before installation. is it deodexed or odexed ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ‬1‬:
will give it a try. thanks mate.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoaibar:
Good to see you here man...

Keep the good stuff coming.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] radiobicho:
Nice. Thanks Ficeto. Is it ODEX or DEODEX? ZIPPALING? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
deodexed, aligned, rooted -> all

all you need is a CWM kernel to be able to install this. It's ok to go from GGB to ICS with this ;)

Do not forget to factory reset!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] superleeds27:
Finally a CWM Flashable version.

Havent tried ICS since the early days. Guess I'll give this a go!

Now we just need AOSP Look ;)

Edit: Whats Siyah's alpha kernel like on this? Anyone tried it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] odm3xda:
try going to download mode and flash a cf root insecured kernel via odin then try going to recovery mode
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sujith.rajan85:
Tried exactly that (before reading ur post :-) ). Problem solved. Restored from my recent nandroid backup. Everything's Peachy now . Thanks a lot !!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hades_hellen:
Problems

I don't know why but there are problems with this rom. Maybe sdcard needs to be formatted before flash. I have tried at least 3 times to do a clean install of this rom - wipe in CWM, install, format cashe, install again. But always there were remains of the previous rom - and no DarkyOTA application. Chrome beta wasn't working every time - says some files are missing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BrumBrum74:
Search the word: darkyota on Play Shop for DarkyOTA application.

Use Titanium Backup to uninstall Chrome and reinstall from Play Shop and it should work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fragske:
Haven't found a real answer yet. I've used the search function and only one other person shows up with the same problem. My weather isn't working and I don't seem to have a widget for it either. Or a clock widget for that matter.

edit: nevermind, found it already ... didn't really know what darkyOTA was. I'm new to this rom :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] evansx6:
Only lost 1% of battery overnight.

Class.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] huzz:
Anyone else having issues with the Camera? First time around it hung the phone next time around it opened the application but it acted up getting stuck showing a black screen and nothing else. Suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] odm3xda:
can i flash XXKI4 radio on this rom ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brack11:
Where can I download stock kernel cwm?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] antonyfl:
anyone get USB MTP working??

also installing stock kernel and then going to CF-Root does not fix SD card / USB apps install bug
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CandyAndy:
I must be even more noob than you are :D I did download the darkyOTA from play shop but I can't find anything to install with this...no apps anywhere. SHould I flash the LPQ_base.zip again with this or what? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zwaehn:
Hello,

the HD Kernel dont work.

I haven got Root.

I flash cf Kernel is that ok?

Where can i change the Battery? Circle ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Omg....it does work. Install superuser....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
The apps are put on sd and show up in install system apps part of ota. At least they do if you dont wipe sd after flashing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Just get the tar and flash with darkyota.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zwaehn:
What is the difference between HD kernel and CF kernel?

Can i use the CF Kernel? ISt LPQ too
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fridlack:
Could you upload files to fix this issue? as i read we need CWM.zip too?

Thanks for you help!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
You dont need cwm.zip. Just flash the tar with darkyota!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zwaehn:
Thanks, it works.

Can i change the Battery? Circle ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BinaryFabric:
hey I searched the thread, but i couldnt find anything.

I dont know if its only me, but i cant get a GPS lock.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Plus chrome beta doesn't run i get the "Critical functionality required to run chrome is missing" error
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jankhner:
For me GPS worked for the first time with this ROM! even GPS status got 7/7 satellites (with CM9 always 0/2)

I got Chrome to work by uninstalling it with titanium backup and after that re-installing in from the market.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zwaehn:
I can`t make the S2 on the PC over USB.

Driver failed. on the org. ICS LPQ is work it.

Have you a idea?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] superman12:
Just set your phone to MTP mode then it will work.

And reinstall KIES maybe
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zwaehn:
no, PCI Device failed on PC
[Galaxy S II Android Development] warriorofice:
You need install Superuser and Darky OTA from market and install System Apps/ MTP Aplication

The usb will work fine.

This is a great rom, but i dont understand why Samsung releases a offical update that has the bug on chage lockscreen wallpaper when Force GPU rendering is active.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MartyHulskemper:
1. It will run. : ) You might have to flash it twice, though.

2. Nothing, they'll be there. That's the general idea of a backup, right? It would be no good if it disappeared when you did something you ade a backup for in the first place.

Stock Oficial LPQ+CF-root = Chrome work beatiful...:D

All rom modifieds have problems with LPQ...I stay with stock...100%. Wait for estable rom or Samsung deliver code of kernel..

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mellll:
Great ROM, no problems so far, all smooth and fast!

Only 1 problem lol

Where is all the live wallpapers, and i wish i could remove nova launcher and keep it more stock looking.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] romano19:
Nice rom! i have a small question: Weather widget that you used?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mellll:
This too, missing lots of widgets no?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Man stick that in OP and stop this chaos!! ;) :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hayspat:
I installed tw launcher but it force closes. Same thing goes to wanamlite too. How can i get it working?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
You have to install ALL samsung apps as no one is sure which is the one that allows it to work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
get super user and darkyota

install all samsung apps from "General -> Install System Apps" in the app, then reboot into recovery and do factory reset. then you'll have TW and all working properly
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pollo17385:
how I have to do to to make KIES to recognize my phone ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] warriorofice:
Please, read my answer two pages before.

you need to install MTP app from darky ota app
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
Having Problems? Here are odin packages for you ;) Safe bet that you will get a nice clean install and not have any boot loader issues :)

after the flash the device will reboot into recovery, just hit "reboot phone" and you will be on your way :)

ODIN Versions:

Full ROM (all apps inside):HERE

Light ROM (like in the description):HERE
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marekPLPH:
clarification: if i flash this full rom thru odin and after i download superuser from the market will i be able to achieve root or do i need to root again?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sorrowuk:
Does this flash the old bootloader then like what your DarkyROM HD v1.0 R5 Resurrection Edition did ?

So the usb jig will work etc?

I don't have to do install DarkyROM HD v1.0 R5 Resurrection Edition with odin then install this ? I can install straight to this with odin yes?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sykojoe:
I flashed v2 last night and now have chrome, I never had chrome before flash

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] spookme:
Works perfectly on Vodafone in Australia!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] override182:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] thawizard:
just flashed via cwm ... bootanimation is black? :confused: because when i boot up, sgs2 b/w message appears then it goes black. nothing happens unless i take out the battery. then the same thing happens again.

have no clue whether that's normal or not? :eek:

-edit-

since only touch cwm recovery was working fine, i tried another full wipe and re-installed.

ok, now bootanimation is showing up and ics is running. no clue what happened before.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpalosx:

I have same problem and I have sd-card installed and I never wiped it so not sure what is wrong with that :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tomj777:
I flashed the CMW zip last NIGHT over a wiped GB CheckROM V6. I rather enjoyed fiddling with it (this was my first play with ICS).

I noticed the phone become seriously hot and CPU Spy reported focus on 1200 Mhz.

I replaced Kernel with Siyah Alpha 6 and governor started to play nice. I slowly started to add back clusters of users apps whilst exploring Nova Launcher and after a while suffered a freeze. On reboot (had to be a battery pull, long press power didn't switch off or I did wait long enough) I found that once the scan of the external SD Card commenced it was stop play with another freeze.

At that point I rolled back (need stable phone) and entered my usual insomniac state.

Rolling back wasn't straight forward. CMW (Siyah Alpha) didn't recognise existing backups but a quick flash of CheckROM base and then restore was all that was required.

Anyway, I thought it courteous to let you folks know what I saw. There may be an easy solution (I didn't have time to attempt to solve) so do not let my experience stop you experimenting.

Massive thanks for releasing the build.

VPN not working (tried 2 different L2TP PSK servers). Other than this I have found no issues so far.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sykojoe:
Yes, Just tried my Jig and it succeeded at erasing Download information

I have noticed a few things but one I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing

When installing apps from the market I get a message after install that there is no more room on home screen after the app installs and it flashes on the screen around 4 or 5 times

There is room on the screen and it even placed a shortcut on main page of home screen. I am not sure if this is a Nova launcher related issue as this is the first time I have used this launcher
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yvliew:
does this have to unmount external SD to install certain apps?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] odm3xda:
I used triangle away with this rom but since then I lost data connection only on this rom! I flashed miui and it works flashed wanamlit ics also works but when I flash this rom it does not work! I am downloading odin version cause I really want be on darkyrom

Hi I'm trying out this rom right now. So far everything works.

I installed crt effect from darkyota and didn't like the effect. How do I uninstall it? Many thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sumeshpremraj:
Installed and working well

Installed an hour ago, and working fine. I updated from a sammy-based ROM and void kernel (which had CWM). Restored apps with Titanium backup, and it seems to be working fine so far, no FCs yet.

Have to try various tweaks, overclock/undervolt etc. now and check battery life, will report back later :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mongostylor:
Try to reflash the Rom via Darky OTA without wipe. Should remove all mods and your apps should stay ;-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] llvllaster:
yes it does.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sgs2ger:
Do you have an second launcher installed ? This is no issue , it apperas when an other launcher is runnig too.

Setting Nova as standart is not enough, uninstall or disable the second one.
