Hello,

I want to modify default.prop so that ro.secure will be set to 1

I unpacked the zImage and modified the default.prop

but after I repack, I found that the size of the new zImage is 1.x MB smaller than the original zImage.

Did I miss sth or it is okay?

Thank you.

Status 7

Morning All,

I hope this is not a silly question, however, I found no solution to my problem in this thread.

My Phone is stock 4,1.2 with speedmod kernel 3.0.31 (for root). Tried to flash your kernel today (following the dl link from first post).

I get stuck with status 7 due to device prop GT I9300 as it seems. Anyway, my build.prop reports correctly GT I9100.

Any help will be appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
You can flash the kernel tar version with Odin (or Mobile Odin app if you are already rooted).

Or you can flash another kernel (such as PhilZ) first, then flash the kernel zip file in PhilZ-touch CWM again.

Or you can extract the update script in the kernel zip file, remove the part where the device name is compared, place the modified script back into the kernel zip file and flash it in CWM recovery.

Good luck !

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] thomas_b:
Right...stoopid me tried to flash a S3 Kernel, klicked the wrong download button.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ksoze11:
can someone care to direct me to a link that will guide me through steps flashing a tar file in odin, as well as the download file of odin itself?

Edit: should I install tar in Odin and then zip from the kernel recovery?

sorry just watched Django, couldn't keep talking like that :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
If it's one tar file it can be put in pda and then just make sure your phone is in download mode and make sure you got proper drivers.

If it's in a zip you should obviously extract the zip (only if it's official from Sammobile as they always put it in a zip container.

Then your ready to go

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Namoi:
Hey cool down guys : Peace.

And for answering your question, i don't quite understand : Do you want to replace the CWM by TWRP Recovery or are you asking GM if he could build another version with TWRP included ?

For the 2nd, you should ask him directly, but i have big doubts for the least...

For the first, i don't really know for sure, but the CWM recovery GM put in the kernel is a heavy modified one (profiles management, dual booting...), so my guess is : at best you will lose the extra functionnalities, at worst you will "screw" your phone...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Namoi:
For the preload "problem", my humble advise would be to switch to Philz Kernel before making/restoring a Nandroid Backup.

It has also an option to format the preload partition and an option to "clean" before installing a new ROM.

After you can flash whatever Kernel you want.

PS: For the backing up, you can also use Orange Backup (maybe you know this one), as it can handle the preload partition well + no need to go to recovery which is great.

If you know how to set up a build environment on your pc it would be possible to compile the kernel with twrp.

Unfortunately our S2 doesn't have a separate recovery partition so the recovery needs to be compiled with the kernel.

Hey Namoi,

I just wanted to add that while using Siyah's CWM based Recovery, mounting /sdcard, 2ndRom System and 2ndRom data in mounts and storage was necessary prior to restoring nandroid backup made with Orange Backup app with preload included (for S2 stock based JB Roms).

There's this option in Nandroid Manager app which I haven't tried yet but it looks like doable.

Peace & Regards.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Namoi:
Well, again a tricky thing to know. We learn from you each day ESD. Thanks.

And it's why (learned from you too :good:) that it is safer to use Philz until other kernels are 100% safe when dealing with that devil preload partition. ;)

Edit : a little OT in here, but could we assume that the same must be done using Dorimanx ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Many40:
If I'm not mistaken, in i9100 the recovery partition is not used and the current recovery is stored in the kernel's partition together with the kernel. So the only way to change recovery permamently is to install a new kernel.

It's possible to flash different custom recovery but only as temporary.

For example

PhilZ Touch 3.0 Recovery

(CWM based).

But after reboot, original custom recovery (provided with a kernel) is restored.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
You are welcome but, actually, I learned this from this thread , so just paying back :)

I guess it is the same thing with Dori since that 2nd Rom (preload) partition is now being used by Sammy's JB ROMs and there could probably be some other changes.

But I agree, this is not dev thread material, we should better move to discussion thread.

Edit: Many is probably right about Recovery (as always :))
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nos_20:
This was my point. If you want to change the recovery you have to change the kernel as they are bundled together

If it does have a recovery partition it would be easier to change recovery but Samsung must not have done this for our device.

You can recompile from GM's source and twrp source to make the kernel with a different recovery but I don't know how to do it. I wish I did because I would!

Right now im running Speedmod and unanle to install this kernel through recovery anything worng ?

Well 2 things, I believe:

1. This question should belong here in the discussion thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26205430&postcount=1

2. I think I've read that Speedmod kernel's Recovery had that issue of switched paths for internal and external SD card, so maybe to ask there should be even better idea or even, even better idea, to flash .tar via Mobile Odin Lite or Pro.

Hi, I've been using this kernel for awhile and it's awesome but I have some issues regarding touchscreen. The problem is that touchscreen response becomes choppy after some time using the phone (laggy scrolling), it seems to be related to MXT224E Touchscreen controller.

I have a humble request GM, could you implement this fix for the new upcoming version of your kernel? you can find more info about this issue in this thread. It appears to affect some phones only.

best regards :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
I'm guessing that on the devices where the RECOVERY partition exists (such as the S3), it contains a regular kernel including a recovery binary in its initramfs.

The

bootloader

has the logic to check if the proper key combo was triggered and if so launch that kernel with the command line to enter its bundled recovery mode.

That's why on the GT-I9300 you can flash Siyah-S3 to the recovery partition (the exact same image) and its recovery will be used if you do. If, however, you keep the stock or other recovery (+ its kernel) on the RECOVERY partition, a boot from OFF state with the key combo will land on that recovery - the bootloader chose that.

The interesting part is that if you want to run Siyah's recovery you have another option - boot normally, go into STweaks and "Reboot into 2ndROM Utils", the value 0 will be written to /data/media/.nextboot, a regular reboot be requested (KERNEL partition, not the RECOVERY one) and Gokhan's init code will check for that (or cmdline=2 which is the signal sent by the bootloader when the button combo was detected) . If so, it will run the recovery bundled in Siyah's initramfs.

With this in mind, here are a few possibilities:

1. Recompile Siyah-S2 with a different recovery

Just check the /sbin/recovery, recovery-loader and busybox and use your own scripts and binaries

2. Support "dual-recovery"

This can't be done without recompiling Siyah, as the bootloader also can't be changed to look directly to the RECOVERY partition.

The init script would need to be changed so that under certain conditions it would jump to an alternate recovery instead of the standard one.

The regular decision is based on the kernel commandline (injected by the bootloader based on the buttons combo). On S3, the current value of /data/media/.nextboot are also used.

For our S2, I see an additional option:

Reading the contents of /d/gpio can help determine the current state of the physical buttons. So for instance "grep -q 'gpio-208.*lo' /d/gpio" will return true if the VOL-UP key is pressed.

With this in ming, the logic of the init script could be:

- if the recovery-boot conditions apply (e.g. bootmode=2), go to the regular recovery bundled in the initramfs

- else if VOL-UP is down (the bootloader didn't do anything with it), obtain the binary for another recovery and run it instead (copying the appropriate init*.rc files, just like for the other one)

- else boot normally

The alternate recovery binary could be stored somewhere in /data/*, or the RECOVERY partition could be formatted as an ext4 filesystem and the binary stored there, or something else you can think of ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] scandiun:
I respond to myself. Siyah is the only kernel which supports encryption on custom roms (like NeatROM or MIUI). Other kernels like PhilZ or Apolo don't work properly. PhilZ is unable to decrypt partitions and Apolo damages the filesystem.

Both encryption and decryption can be done from settings menu without the need to factory reset (i.e. everything is preserved).

Big thanks to the developer.
