[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:

Or also

Can you try full version of ROM and see?

Hi guys, I was wondering whether anyone could me.

I have been using NeatRom 6.4 for ages, however my motherboard finally bit the bullet today!:crying:

I have a spare S2 motherboard (from a replacement phone i bought cos i broke my screen) but its on android 4.0.4! I'm trying to get back to NeatRom 6.4 but i'm going crazy!

Firstly I can't seem to install a custom recovery! CWM is temporary and goes after restart. I'm hoping once i can get that i can restore a back up from my SD card.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
You can flash a custom kernel containing a custom recovery ... check for PhilZ kernel which is rooted stock kernel with a nice touch CWM recovery.

Then you can boot into recovery and flash Neatrom zip file.

If you have a nandroid backup made in CWM recovery, you can try to restore it.

Best to use the same kernel/recovery for creating and restoring the backup.

My tapatalk signature:

Device:

If you have any question about or any issue with your SGS2, just ask in the New members friendly Q&A thread.

... for the SGS5, just ask in the Noob friendly S5 All in one support thread

If you need general help/assistence, please go to XDA-Assist.

Thank you, I needed Philz kernal and all is now well!!

Maybe panic or maybe trying to read up on things I've learnt over the last four years have made me go crazy today!

Is it important to flash official jb before flashing neat ROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gaosphappy:
Factory reset/clean install should be enough. Your already using jb rom any how. You'd also need to reroot (too many hoops.) Don't forget that backup. You'll need it if it all goes wrong.

Good luck.

is it normal i have flashe neat rom full and firstboot is contituing and display is going black and then neat rom boot animation is showing....plz want quick reply...i have done clean istall by twrp by wiping data,cache,dalvik and system
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Yes. Am there for your quick reply.

What do you mean by "display is black". ?

If you are seeing the boot animation without any interruption. I.e rebooting. Then you need to wait at least 5-7mins.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nageswarswain:
when finished all the setup the boot animation continuously turned off and on ....now i am again flashing the rom as 1st try took 25 mins but not succeed to boot...i will report after sometime
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
No problem.

Reflash ROM and then everything must be alright.:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nageswarswain:
ohhh flashed successfully lite version with stock kernel.....now testing thanks for the reply...but phone is getting hot quickly
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Just think. You have just flashed the rom two times. By going into the recovery. That's the reason for your phone temperature getting rised up.

It should be normal after some time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gaosphappy:
YAY

You've just flashed the ROM. The phone will be hot leave it alone for a little bit. Should cool down. Using it constantly straight from boot keeps the CPU at full power causing heat.

Good luck

Hi NeatRomers! Today my phone from some reason (i dont know why) make restart and bootloop again, again, again... I must wipe data and install fresh NeatRom 6.4 version.

I only instal NeatRom 6.4 Lite + S5 stock toggles + Philllz kernel in installation settings. Is here some advice?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] quijote1:
Hey folks,

I've got an S2 problem. I passed my S2 down to my daughter with NeatROM 4.7 on it. It's worked fine until today. She brought it to me with a strange kind of bootloop. It shows the white S2 for a few seconds and then goes black. After 4 seconds it shows the S2 again and just keeps looping. I can access Philz recovery, so I dirty flashed 4.7. Same loop! I imagine that I need a compatible bootloader. Does anyone know where I can get one - or have some other useful suggestions.

I suppose I could download a late stock rom and Odin that - which would give me a new bootloader.

Help?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Smantanasiceapa:
how do I change the bootanimation? I've tryed through flashible zips, it didn't worked, then i tryed to copy the bootanimation.zip into system/media and change permissions to rw--r--r--, and again, it didn't worked :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] quijote1:
Well, I downloaded a stock rom and flashed it via Odin. And got a new version of the bootloop. This time it just sticks on the Galaxy S2 instead of looping. But it doesn't go on any further. Odin said PASS and I had hoped that I had a cure. Nope!

Any ideas??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Sounds like a corrupt file somewhere on the internal sd card.

There was a method to fix it. Let me try to remember ...

... I think it was formatting system in recovery. Worth a try?!

Afterwards you will have to flash again the stock ROM with PC Odin.

Crossing my fingers.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Many40:
... or force going to recovery then do format data / factory reset and try booting again.

Edit: I just saw on Neatrom off topic thread that you sorted it out. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Did you flash This before flashing a bootanimation zip? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Smantanasiceapa:
still doesn't changed to desired bootanimation after flashing the zip you gave it to me :(

Make sure its a working bootanimation which you are trying to flash.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
Search over the forum for battery life related posts....I had excellent battery life in 6.3 with SOT > 2.5 hours and also chrging cycle as high as 2 days ....Well battery life very much depends upon your battery as well...New and good battery lasts more (quite obvious)....For kernel, my all time preference was Apolo....Very much battery friendly and tweakable....To get good battery life basic is to use greenify and other apps...Search over the forum and google...You'll get tons of threads guiding you for better battery life........Be aware that battery life very much depends upon device to device and user to user.....You need to experiment different things until you are satisfied with the result...After all rooting and custom ROMs are all about such experiments.....:good:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
Check for wakelocks causing battery drain when your device is in deep sleep.... Better Battery Stats is what I use....

A good guide for battery life can be this.... Also check if your battery...If its old then probably battery is the culprit..... I remember that I had about four days of battery backup with v 5.5 and Apolo kernel and my battery was relatively new one at that time.....Here's the link to the post........My suggestion, check for wakelocks using BBS and if there are apps causing wakelocks then manage them...Other suggestions would be to check for corrupted files, go for a full wipe and reflash the ROM.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] visky642:
as [MENTION=5420595]ssanjy[/MENTION] said battery life depends on your battery's health, i get about 2 days average with light usage with nearly 2.5 hours of time sometimes its ~3 h also mine is a 2 yr old battery check the images i'm attaching

n yeah i use a lot of apps for this

1. DS battery saver

2 Autostarts

3 Greenify

4 Disable Services
[Galaxy S II Android Development] akhil17kr:
Thanks I'll follow that guide and will see.

Anyway my battery is 2.5 Years old but there is no sign of any damage or any bulge on battery physically, Is there any way to know if my battery is culprit by running some tests or so ?

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

That is awesome , Which apollo kernel version did you used and what kernel settings ?

I'm gonna flash again to test it.

BTW how many apps you have installed ?

I have more than 50.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] visky642:
i'm using extrv1 plus tweak it with apolo app from playstore (link in apolo thread) i'll suggest using Regular version for 2 days at least if you dont have any random freezes go for ExtrV0 for next two days and then go for ExtrV1 finally

use smartassv2 governor and noop scheduler

change smartassv2 parameters pages as follows in increasing order (change parameter page using >> or <<)

page 1 : 0,24000,49000,2000000,

page2: 500000,500000,4,200000,

page2: 200000,85,75

dont use bln if u still want use blnww

also greenify apps you dont use much

use DS battery Saver and use the Slumberer profile of it

I have shortlisted these 4 Batteries , 2 are of Samsung Orignal galaxy S2 (That's what they are saying) , One 3500 Mah Extended one (Max brand) , one Anker 1900 Mah one .

Anker 1900 Mah battery-

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Anker-1900mAh-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-II-i9100-/330747106855

Which should one i go for ?

All I want reliable long lasting one with good battery backup ? I heard extended ones will have problem with Custom ROM or you can't charge them while they are in phone or they will no last longer. Anker one have very good reviews .

Also Do you think both of seller in first 2 links are really offering original ones ? If not where i can find the Original Online at Best rate ?

I think after ordering one i can confirm it from the Samsung care myself.

What are your suggestions ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lallolu:
I just got this phone vrey cheap and I decided to install a nice ROM on it so I tried this one. I think it is a very nice ROM with good features and a nice theme but the battery life was not god for me. I decided to order a new battery since I assumed the battery life was because of the battery/phone age. At the same, time, I decided to try cm ROMs so I tried blisspop. Surprise surprise, the battery life is very good, at least when on standby. On CM ROM, while on standby, it loses about 1% every 3 hours compared to about 4% every hour previously. In summary, please look into the battery consumption. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
What? You can't blame this ROM for over usage of battery by your phone. Considering several user of this ROM have reported that they had good battery life.

It's you who have to look into that battery consumption. Install BBS and look for the wakelocks.

P.s As soon as you install ROM. Then let the ROM settle for couple of days and then test the battery life.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
NeatRom has always had its reputation for great battery life and stability... As Vivek mentioned, let the rom settle and test.. Also see your wakelocks using BBS...
