Planning to release an update zip with 1.1 over the weekend. I am thinking of incorporating most of the changes (inlcuding the 4.0.4 Mail and exchange, as it has been verified to be working). Also, i have the ICS themed 15 toggle (blue) in. Please no theming request, I prefer a lot of under the hood :) stuff. Anything else? I missed an app in the debloat Samsung IM which will be purged (it shouldn't work anyways)..I prefer to keep the network tweaks in, Hows the radio and speed holding up, as I see people complaining about it, but it has been working much better for me.

As usual this will be tested on my phone before release :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stepheng:
Yeah sure did and yes super su says es strongs is on the list. Have tried numerous methods to mount system and every method fails. Even Reflashed still nothing other than the mounting system everything else works great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
is it working via adb? did you try

adb remount

and tried to delete e.g (the above should say succeeded)

adb shell rm /system/app/<whatever.apk>?

i use root explorer and it's working fine..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ndmuni:

Mohan mentions update and now I can't sleep. He says the weekend.. BAH, I am going to have to shut down ER for a lack of sleep. Well, probably more so because I can muwahaha! Let me know if you want another mirror, I can put it up on electronicsrenew.com for you.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 Mohaned the EFF OUT!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] morehush:
Mohan, thanks for your hard work. Looking forward to the update this weekend.

The "Digital Clock" and "Dual Clock" widgets would go if it were up to me, but it's not a huge deal.

What is secphone? Anyone know?

The radio and network speeds have been the same for me as all of the other leak-based roms. Great when in good LTE areas, slower in bad LTE areas. Just what is expected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
The secphone appears to run some sort of heartbeat test with radio. I left it alone, since I need to dig into it more, whether it will mess up the radio, if i remove it.

thanks for the input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ndmuni:
I ve problem shutting down. It hangs after the phone vibrates and just stays there, it won't power off, I ve to remove the battery. Is there a fix? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
* Can you tell me what was previous ROM?

* And, you followed Step 2) 3) and 4)? (If you can tell me which recovery you used that will be helpful)

* Also did you flash any mods after flashing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ndmuni:
I was on the stock leaked. Yes i followed all the steps, recovery is CWM 5.0.2.6. No other mods except the 2 patches from op. I also backup and restore and i ve the same problem also another problem is contact it hangs too. Maybe i ve too many about 500, I did get a reminder to delete contacts, will try to remove some and see. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Hmm..So I hope the recovery you are is formatting the /system, /data and /cache as advertisied. Can you try the recovery from this post, if you don't mind. Because for the life of me I am not able to replicate this. You flashed the UCALC4 radio too correct? never mind, you said you odined the ICS leak first.

yeah the contacts and dialer have the issue in the ICS leak. I have been using the exdialer/contacts (see the faq post #3).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xda1zero:
Removing secphone on gingerbread is a non issue, that and "factorytest" apk.

On ICS I've removed it for a while, nothing apparently wrong happened but restored it in the process of troubleshooting the ICS leak(dident want to introduce too many variables)... it could be needed now, not sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ndmuni:
Thanks for yr response mohan_kr, I will try to flash the CWM Touch, and reload everything but i can only do it over the weekend. Will post the result. Yea, puzzles me too cos other than this everything else works n i must say bat life improved. Thanks again

@mohan

Are you still developing your kernel?

Thanks in advance !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Depends on what you mean by Kernel? Till Samsung drops the source code, not going to touch it. Until then, I will tweak what I can with the post boot scripts or ramfs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
Thanks for the reply.

I am aware and understand the source issue. I mean, do yo think that the kernel on you kernel thread is "final" for now as far as you like it/can take it.

My situaton is as follows:

1. I have the full bloat stock installed with stock kernel. This is mhx's full bloat release rooted, etc. But there is obvious lag. This is a 1:1 port of the full stock, no changes.

2. I see in the OP for this ROM the kernel says stock. Is this original stock or your fixed version. If this is original stock, any reason you stuck with it?

I have no problem with the stock ROM, except the lag, and am looking to change kernels.............:confused:

EDIT: To anyone else: NO, I AM NOT LAZY TO READ/TRY ETC. Its just I depend on my phone, AND i rarely get time to do comprehensive flash testing nowadays...........so don't want to screw anything unless I am fully informed. And people's experience with kernels seems to be limited.

Thanks in advance.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] morehush:
Thanks for the update zip, mohan!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
I can't get the email to work no matter how many times I flash. Just closes and locks up the phone. But then again so does instagram...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Never tried instagram :). So I will have to test it out.

I didn't touch the Email client at all (I am assuming you are *not* tallking about gmail). Are you using the, AOSP one?

If not, then can you remove the Account and add it back again, and see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
The kernel, I is the same as the one I have posted which is in the ROM. The difference is the boot.img is different. Given that, any tweaks will be pretty much restricted to startup scripts, I have not encountered anything yet that requires tweaks, apart from the ones that is already posted in the boot.img. So I cannot say it's final...

As far lag or shutdown issues, I don't think it matters what boot.img that are out there for UCALC4, you flash. Initially my thoughts were it is the device, but I have installed this ROM in 4 different devices, not a single one has the lag or shutdown issue. My suspicion is either the recovery being used and the ROM itself..It is critical that the recovery format the /system, /data /cache, you can easily check that before flashing a ROM in the touch recovery and I have checked that in all the 4 devices, they were cleaned for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Not gmail. Aosp. Never could open it to do anything to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Now I'm confused. Did you flash the AOSP Email.apk or Exchange.apk OR are you using the ones that are bundled in the ROM (i.e. UCLA4 leak ones)?

Do this: Remove all accounts (i.e. ActiveSync/Exchange) from Settings -> Accounts and Sync. Reboot into recovery, clear cache, advanced -> clear Dalvik Cache. Reboot. Go back into Settings -> Accounts and Sync and add the email accounts.

Please post your results..thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
If I may, how did you determine exactly what classpath was required for each apk? Did you first pull apart all the jar files so that the classes would be in smali and did you then deodex the apks with no classpath and find ./ -iname "missingclass" to determine which was needed where? I can't really see a way to automate that so it seems like it would have taken forever!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
That's just it. There are no accounts attached to that email app. It's the one that comes with the rom. I can do 3 x factory reset, 3 x cache, 3 x system, and a 3 x dalvik. Same result for me every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] morehush:
It's been said before, but I bet it's your recovery. I had tons of issues with the regular recovery that all disappeared after I installed the CWM touch recovery. I would flash this one, using odin: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19217-recovery-clockworkmod-touch-5504-v2/

Then flash whatever rom you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
I have the latest touch recovery from CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] itdiestoday:
I've been on a ICS tear lately and I can safely say that I have not come across a single ICS rom that has instagram working properly. Unsure if its an instagram issue or something on the back end of the rom.

Sent from my Samsung
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Yes, correct. Except, you can keep adding the patterns based on Exception you receive, till a new one pops up :).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Hey Folks,

I will be tied up for a few days. I have loaded up UCLD2 leak (debloated of course), not made up my mind yet if that will be the new base for Embryo-2.0. I will let it run and test for couple of days and share the release.

As usual it will be high quality one :).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lyndone58:
I'm on another ICS rom. Do I need to flash radio (using your link) for this rom? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Not sure. If you want the UCALC4 radio, you can flash it. But whatever ROM you are using, better have the additional radio bits needed for UCALC4. Sorry, cannot help you there, you can find that out from the person who created the ROM you are running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
I'm cool with that as long as it doesn't say t989 everywhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lyndone58:
I'm already on UCALC4. Not sure if yours is different for not having RIL libraries.

Giving your ROM a testdrive since I get nothing but issues with I currently use.

I guess it won't hurt to flash the radio in your link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
Thanks so much !

I stayed away from Touch Recovery because all the talk about different CWR versions being different. So may be I am suffering from that.

When you say cleaned /system /data etc., does that mean like nandroid backups all need to be wiped. ??? I have backups to internal SD becoz I have low space on ext card............I presume nandroids are "protected" during wipes?

I actually went back to GB, with all the quirks in ICS..........but will ry one last time.:o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] morehush:
The one-click leak wipes the internal SDCARD, but cwm flashes don't and you don't need to wipe nandroid backups for a cwm flash. If you want to give it one more shot, I would suggest the following:

1. Flash the recovery.tar.md5 from here, using odin:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19217-recovery-clockworkmod-touch-5504-v2/

(i prefer the one with the Roboto font)

2. Reboot into recovery and do this

a) Mounts>Format System

b) Mounts>Format Data

c) Mounts>Format Cache

d) Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache

3. Install zip from internal sdcard.

4. Reboot!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
WOW !

Finally! Finally !

This IS THE ROM! It is running so fast, it is unbelievable. Everything I hated about ICS IS GONE with this ROM.

Your great care has obviously paid off as I can see. You remind me of watsa (dev from Captivate days). Slow and steady !

Way to go.

I was failed to flash cook rom, so I flash back the stock rom I9100GDXKJ1_I9100GOLBKJ1_I9100GDZKJ2_HOME.tar with the stock kernel DXKJ1, when I flash the kernel, it's all done on Odin, but after reboot to Android Recovery Mode, it shows:

Copying media file
E: Failed to mount /sdcard (unknown error:0)
E:copy_cache_media:Can't mount /sd Card
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

and then I can't flash any rom, Cooked Rom or even Stock Rom, it's show failed on Odin, how can i do now.(I just have 1 Stock Rom file (tar.md5)) Can anyone have 3 files of the Stock Rom please (CSC, PDA, Modem).

P/s: I forgot to check the kernel of my last rom (before I flash cooked rom).
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] OrrPenn18:
Flash any stock ROM by ODIN! Flash any custom kernel you find in the Repository! (Flash a stable one, a very basic one!)

And then after flashing the custom kernel, then boot into recovery mode and flash your choice of Custom ROM :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] solom01:
Hi, does anyone know a link or where to download the Kies software? I've tried the US, UK and Australian Samsung Support pages download links and the link is dead and has been for the last 2 days. Samsung support was totally clueless and could not give me a direct link when I tried them. I'm thinking that maybe it's possible to just torrent it if I could find it, but I was hoping maybe someone here would know. My experience with Samsung so far is not getting off to a very good start.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] solom01:
Thanks, I had googled it, but it kept bringing up old versions of the program. Little did I know (I should have been able to figure it out) that when one downloads the old version it auto-updates to the newest version. That being said, I thought iTUnes was bloated and slow, yet compared to Kies it's great. It's also insane that a company the size of Samsung can't keep links up to date and working on a program that their literature tells you to download. It's this type of ineptitude compared to the generally easy Apple experience that has relegated Android tablets to being used only by uber geeks for the most part. Heck, all Amazon had to do with the Fire was make it somewhat user friendly and it outsold all other Android tablets combined in one quarter.

Hello all,

Sorry I can't be any more specific but I'm only just getting into the Java/Android side of development. Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for any help in advance.

[HTC EVO 3D] gump4696:
I am completely lost on this simple step of the downgrade, and it's only the first step. I can put the 2.17 ruu on the SD card, boot into hboot/bootloader, phone will recognize it, scan down, and never give me the option to "update". I tried different 2.17 downloads, I tried formatting the SD card in FAT and FAT 32, the 2.17 ruu is the only file on the card, I am also assuming it has to be the zip not exe file? Anybody have a download link that worked for them? I am usually not this illiterate when it comes to this, I just want to root this phone. Oh, and I did rename it PG86IMG.zip. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I am about to throw this phone out the window. Thanks

Your bootloader needs to be locked or relocked IMO.

Unlocked bootloader cannot update PG86IMG.zip I think.

[HTC EVO 3D] gump4696:
Is 2.17 supposed to be unzipped? I'm assuming bootloader will unzip it...
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Your Evo 3D came with 2.17 or you have took the OTA?

Try running 2.17 RUU exe then the PG86IMG.zip, this worked for some. Also check the Unknownforce's second post in the downgrading hboot thread.

It should not be unzipped, you are fine as your bootloader is detecting the zip file. just check the above post.

I was on 2.17 and i used 2.17 PG86IMG to downgrade. Works fine.
