Have a slight dilemma. When I last attempted to flash KS 2.0 it created a 61kb log of the installation, but when I view it, the file appears to be blank. I tried to edit permissions, but I can't save the changes. ICS, it seems, won't allow it. How do I fix it?

This is amazing...is this concept new to the android scene? I feel like its going to revolutionize rom hopping and customization.

Awesome work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
I'm sure many are aware of this but I just wanted to comment about the "Easter Egg" in this version of ICS (may be the same in all android 4.0).

Tapping on Android version in About Phone in settings will give you a picture of "Andy" wearing an ice cream sandwich. Swiping back and forth on that image will start an animation of many ICS clad Andy's swimming.

Kinda different. Not sure if everyone knew about it.

Just wanted to say "great job" on the Kitchen Sink installation video. I learned most of what I know about rooting and flashing ROMS from your YouTube channel.

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into explaining, reviewing and promoting the incredible efforts of the developers here.

I also like your video style and presentation (I think it's the voice) -- it's unique and compelling.

Anyway, here's a link to QBKing's video on installing Kitchen Sink:

[Motorola Photon 4G] killersiafu:
Played around with KS 2.01 last night coming from CM9 0.5.1 installed with KS 1.3. I first installed AOKP just to play around with it. Used the 1.4 Kernel, default RIL, default GPS, AOKP boot animation (wow is that ugly), all launchers, and all the apps/etc on the final page. Install went fine and I booted into AOKP using Apex launcher. Everything seemed pretty much fine except the soft keys were present. I played around with that for like an hour and then decided to go back to CM9.

Went through the install again selecting CM9, 1.4 kernel, default RIL, North American GPS, all launchers, CM9 boot animation, no soft keys, ICS reloaded, gapps + all the apps / etc on the final page. Install went fine and rebooted. It booted into CM9, I selected Apex launcher and the phone immediately rebooted. It hung at the M screen forever before I pulled the battery. I tried going into recovery and fixing permissions / rebooting... but no luck. Couldn't get past the boot screen.

Then I tried to install CM9 again but the touch controls were no longer working. I could move up and down with the volume keys but couldn't get past the language select screen. At that point I decided to nandroid back to my 0.5.1 install. So I'm back on that for now...

Just thought I'd report on my experience. In general with KS, I've found that Apex is a bit finicky when I let KS install it as opposed to installing it myself. For example, when there is a new build of Apex, I'll download the apk, copy it into /system/apps, remove the old apex apk, and rename and fix permissions on the new one. I've done this for basically all builds of CM9 since alpha 15 and after I do the above and exit root explorer, apex reboots itself and all is well. When I let KS install Apex, this either causes a reboot immediately or freezes the phone when I try to exit root explorer, which then requires a reboot. After the reboot, all is well.

As a side note, I was able to save my install configurations at the end of the installer... but I don't recall where those are being saved. Can someone point me to them?

try this restore a back up of a cm9 ROM not miui, not cm7 or blur that you used lately reboot into it, go back into recovery, flash sink do not wipe anything, choose defaults throughout, write down what you chose, see if it boots let us know
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Ok, I have installed KS 2.0.1 again and have it booted. I have discovered to get it to install and boot I have to allow it to boot after the first flash even though I know it will freeze at the boot logo. A battery pull and reboot into CWM for flash #2 and a restart after and it boots fine.

My config is:

English

Custom

Full Wipe (last no wipe resulted in reboot into CWM at about 50%)

Tabletui

CM9 boot ani

NA GPS

Gapps

Default.RIL

Beats

Bravia

CM music

Wallpapers

Google TTS

1.3 kernel

It pretty much the same install I used for KS1.3

This is what I am experiencing (some of this has been reported previously).

Data speeds are generally good. There are instances where they are at a snail crawl. I think it is market related. When I get a download that is slow (a d I do mean slow) I'll cancel it, wait a moment, and restart it and it's usually fine.

When I change the network mode from home only to automatic I am always roaming. On KS 1.3 auto did not force roam. (Chose default ril)

I had a bunch of FC's especially in settings last try. I haven't been in settings too much yet, but I did reboot into CWM and fix perms before I began to set it up.

I have two logcats, but like a noob, I can't attach them. Gotta figure out where I can host them. :banghead: First is when I was downloading apps from the market, hopefully they give some insight into data speed slowdowns. The other hopefully gives insight into forced roaming.

If someone wants them I can email them until I get them up somewhere. Or I can post them after I figure it out.

Hope this helps.

I'm also curious if I can install CNA over this install from the CNA thread (not through KS 2.0.1) without wiping or should I start from my 198_6 nandroid and do it fresh. I'm trying to narrow down where this is coming from.

It is still an awesome piece of work!!

thats why... are you rooted, unlocked, using joker recovery, or rom race 5027?

for miui full wipe for any other need have been on a ics ROM the installer only works on to of a ics rom if I understand it right

[Motorola Photon 4G] thabest85:
I have jokers cwmv3 but it shows up as cwm 5.5.0.4
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you just go to Jokersax, you can download the 0.5.1 CM9, flash that, then reboot and let the system load. Once it does, go back into recovery and start the install in aroma again.

That's the correct version :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
LOL i get what you mean and its near impossible to actually convey this message across.. I have no idea tbh but I would

guess

that the easiest way would be to redl the entire ROM. Once again just my guess I have no idea he may come up with updater zips that will bring it to latest version without having to redl entire kitchensink. But your post is of, mostly, sound mind :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It COULD be done in parts. Miui has updates that are smaller than the whole. .or at least they did. Its possible to use that here.

We at miui build were held up by one lib. Now that we know which one, its easier to integrate....hence why we went from 0.4.5.1 to 0.5 in less than an hour once we figured it out. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] alanthemanofchicago:
I run MIUI on the Shift, and it used to be common to issue updates that were smaller than the whole, in order to save 3g data/time. But, the last 2 versions have contained many CDMA radio changes, and have been full updates.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kobuu:
Jokersax for President?!

Really the only thing I could request is Webtop. Mirror mode is just...anti-climactic. Other than that, nothing. I don't really care about 4G. Just the fact that I have ICS and my phone runs like a DREAM is good enough! JOKER, you're the MAN!
[Motorola Photon 4G] moonzbabysh:
Suggestions to Maybe give an option to install (-App2Zip, CallLogsBackup, SmsBackup, and APNBackup-) Applications as they work without fail unlike TB.

The App2Zip actually backs up all your chosen apps and creates a signed, flashable Zip. I know TB does this too but I find this one faster and less steps as it is its main purpose. And the APN backup, if moved to system/app before backup and restore works on ICS. I usually put them all in system/app but that's just me :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
So if I'm understanding this right we will be able to mix/match different options together. So someone could OD from flashing all the different combinations. Sounds good to me!! I wonder if we can get into rehab for flash addiction.:o

I'm now in kitchen sink ya boi awesome rom once u figure out to use it. Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dovigoldberger:
Hi, first of all I'd like to thank all the people putting in hard work into this rom.

I flashed kitchen sink 1.3 on cna base and everything worked pretty well. Now when 2.0.1 came out I tried to install it and nothing would work only if I did a full wipe. What happened was, if I would flash without a full wipe it would boot up fine, and even do the upgrading android apps, but after finishing upgrading it would go back to the boot animation and loop. So I tried doing a backup and doing a full wipe and then from advanced restore only restoring the data. But then it wouldn't boot past the m logo. This really sucks so if someone could help me I'd really appreciate it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
If you installed either Bravia or Beats, it will do a bootloop once, but should stick on the second boot up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dovigoldberger:
So what exactly should I do
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Let it boot up the second time and see if it sticks. It's not bootloops....Joker wrote a shell script that runs on the first boot. It sets up the things properly for Bravia or Beats (previous versions of these mods didn't have this script), then reboots :)

Let me know if it doesn't work after second boot and we can go over your choices :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dovigoldberger:
What I meant to ask is what I should do after the first boot do I pull the battery and go into cwm and do reboot system or do I install the from again
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dovigoldberger:
And how long do I wait to pull the battery
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
If you have flashed the ROM only one time it will most likely freeze at the M logo and you'll have to battery pull to continue.

If you have flashed the ROM a second time it will boot at sit at the M logo for a second or two then it will reboot on it's own. This is normal.

Make sure to note your choices as you must make the same ones on the second flash.

My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Oh, and second time around just go into CWM and flash again, no need to reboot, wipe, or anything.

My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
How far into boot does it make it. Maybe I misunderstood where you got. Also, maybe try it with the 1400 kernel. I'm not totally sure if the 1300 one is borked or not. That may be an issue as well.

If you're worried about battery life, don't. I have an extended battery, yes, but I have been on MIUI 2.5.4 build off the same 0.6.0 backbone as this rom, and I still have 84% battery after over 14 hours!
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
I'm running the 1.3 kernel. Flashed it with KS1.3 and 2.0.1, works good for me.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Gotroot:
I have tried every way possible to flash this version and get roaming voice working with no luck.. did the forced and the default idk any tips would be great
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dovigoldberger:
OK so let me make it clear, I flashed the whole thing it installed great then it said rebooting device, when it reboots it goes onto the m page and after a few seconds it reboot again, after that it starts the boot animation and after a minute or so it starts to upgrade apps, now here's where I get stuck instead of booting up by the end of the upgrade process it goes back to the boot animation. I haven't tried it on the 1400 kernel I'll give it a try but I'm still not sure exactly how to do it do I have to pull the battery? If so when do I do it? Thanks again for your help
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Sorry for any confusion. What choices are you making in the installer? We need to know, it may help find out what is giving you a problem.

My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dovigoldberger:
OK so I'm doing

base aokp

1300 kernel

Non wipe

Tablet mod

Cna boot animation

Regular battery

The rest I left on default except GPS north America and beats audio

And I installed all the apps
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
FWIW, this is how I install, hope it helps you. (Sorry, I probably don't have it in order)

I started on stock 198_6 (had a nandroid). You should also be able to flash if you are on any ICS build.

From CWM I ran a factory reset/data wipe

When finished, reboot

Provision only, updated profile and PRL only. Don't set up google, etc.

Reboot into CWM and choose install from zip. Do Not Wipe!!!

Aroma installer starts. I chose:

English

Custom Install

Full Wipe (unless you're updating non wipe = bootloop)

1.3 Kernel

CNA

Tabletui

Apex Launcher(any should work)

CM9 Boot Animation

Gapps

NA GPS

CM9 Music

CDMA

Default RIL

Beats Audio

Bravia Mod

Default Font

Wallpapers

On the last page I chose everything except weather, extra wallpaper, and Titanium Backup (have it already)

You have to flash twice using the same settings for it to work. After the first flash it will freeze at the M logo. Wait a few moments, pull the battery, then reinsert it and boot i to CWM. Flash again same as before. On second boot it will start at the M logo and then reboot. Don't Panic, it's running an install script. It will reboot, pass the M logo, and continue to the boot animation. It may seem to take longer as it's the first boot.

Hope this helps.

I had the same issue. It seems like they are the same. I chose default and in settings I set network to home only. Auto resulted in forced roaming.

If I was more confident to try it I would try to take the default RIL out of KS1.3 and replace the one in 2.0.1, but I don't know if I can pull it off.

Been following this thread since it started ... you guys are amazing! Getting ready to flash KS for the first time. I am coming from "2.3.5 for Electrify/Photon, De-odexed included, Radio(Electrify only)" - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1403322 - on the Motorola Electrify. Which rom should I be on before I flash? I have been on cm7 before but no longer have the backup. I have copies of all cm9 roms starting with 3.0. I know there were issues with some things like mms and such in later versions of cm9 and although I never flashed it I kept them intending to start with 3.1. So I guess the question is to transition into KS what would be the easiest - cm7, cm9, cna, aokp, gummy ... etc? I have seen this question asked once before but never answered with a straight answer. Keep up the great work! You guys all are awesome!!! Thanks for everything

[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
What CWM are people using with this? I used ks before to flash cm9 then Miui. When the 6.0 update hit I installed Miui 6.0 fresh install w/out KS. All worked great.

KSv2 is giving me some troubles. I've tried Gummy and Aokp which both boot loop or return me to recovery Gummy doesn't even finish in the aroma installer. Half way through the install it reboots recovery. CNA worked once, I had a ton of FC reboot wiped data ( I had done it in the installer originally) and everything worked fine after. I didn't try cm9 or Miui. I decided I have to of had a bad DL, but any other ideas as to what could be causing this? I tried a mix of different options to and defaulted settings with no luck. reDownload just finished so I'll give it a whirl.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
I've been using RomRacer's 5.0.2.7-photon3. I have had issues with 2.0 as well. What has been working for me was not to wipe in CWM and full wipe in Aroma and flash twice. Non wipe in Aroma always results in a reboot into CWM about half way through. The only time non wipe has worked is when I am changing something within the same ROM.

Have any of you heard about XobotOS? I've been seeing a few threads of it on a few devices but idk if anyone has finished porting it yet. From what I've read about it, it uses something called mono in the place of dalvik which supposedly gives a huge speed boost and uses C# instead of Java. They just recently got it working with ics and I'm seeing a lot of request for it.

If anyone could get this up and going it would be team moto tegra
