Hello All. I was using this kernel on my fathers i9100T when it was on LSS but he wanted me to put it onto the latest telstra rom which is DVLSK. Could I use the XXLSK version that is in the OP for this ROM? Or will a new kernel version be required? Sorry if these are noob questions but I am new to the i9100 and new to the "newer" samsung roms (Havent used them since 2.3.3).

Battery life

Hi guys,

befor Philz kernel and NeatROM 4.7 Light I have used Speedmod kernel and 4.0.4 stock rom. Now with PhilZ kernel is the battery life 2-3 times worse. Should I make some optimization for the PhilZ or install some mods to geht better battery life?

Thanks

Are you talking to me or what? I have the new battery but befor 5 days I had much much better battery life with speedmod kernel and stock JB 4.0.4.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
Well, I tried asking the other way, maybe I wrote something wrong.

Will a v5.05 backup be restored with an older recovery (say v5.00 or even v4.x)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kswiss86:
Battery life on ics was better than on any jb rom. You can try speedmod kernel by yourself to see if you get a better battery life. Philz kernel is a stock repackt kernel. No uv or something like this
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoey63:
Yes, works both ways.

recovery

Hi Philz familiy! I need your help. I have made various backups from different states of a Rom (see signature and Neatrom 4,7 lite), one just after install and aplicate personal data and one mod, the otherone with various mods and the last one with deletes sys-apps (Nobloat). All of them work fine. The backups were made with CMW from Philz 5.03, now I am on 5.05 and I have enabled backup of preload. Now, when I try to recover any of these, it will go into bootloop, always at the point where it is about to show the lockscreen + or -. I tried to do it without any wipe, with full wipe, with wipe Cache and dalvik, with wipe caches and fix permissions ... No way. So my question (seems stupid) is: how do I do a recovery correctly? Couldn´t find anything in this thread. :confused:

Thanks to everyone for help! :good:

edit: between my trials I always installed the Rom, not to alter the circumstances ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Assuming you enabled \preload backup in 5.03 before taking your series of backups, restoring any of them should just work without wiping.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
Has it ever been talked about setting a PIN or password to start at least some recovery functions?

I mean: my phone i locked and protected with phone lost software & Co, all right, but if someone starts it in this powerful recovery and uses aroma file manager or other functions, it can get anything from memory... :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
[MENTION=4648124]cripubu[/MENTION], few questions:

Have you changed ROM in between?

Does backup with preload included restores correctly?

Have you tried with preload unticked?

Can you check and maybe attach Recovery log file? (see the changelog for instructions)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CaptainGoSlow:
I recently had an issues with bootloops on backups. Mine ended up being ok by restoring preload by itself first and then doing a full restore straight after. Not sure if it'll help you, I just randomly tried it and might have just got lucky.

I don´t know if I can still find it on the phone, installed ROM again and recovered apps with Titanium.

I had this problem formerly with a NeatRom-restore and after wiping cache, dalvik and fixing permissions it worked. But this time it did not. Maybe mention that I had Apolo 4.6 lite installed, but changed it back to Phils. Then had minor issues and wanted to restore a perfect system.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
I'm picking up a second-hand SGS2 for my wife tonight. I previously had one and at the time, used Odin to root it. I'm planning on rooting this one differently.

The first post says that CWM6 is rooted, so is it as simple as flashing PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSS-OXX-5.05.0-signed.zip in stock recovery? Or do I need to use Method 1 listed at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 to flash Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip first?

My plan is to stick SuperNexus on it after doing this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kt-Froggy:
Yep, as simple as that... :) Keep in mind, though, that with PhilZ kernel/recovery you will get opensource Superuser instead of SuperSU (if it makes any difference to you, anyway).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
Thanks. So that file will root and install CWM in the one go? That's pretty nifty. It doesn't matter what version of Android or what kernel is installed? Does it replace the kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kt-Froggy:
Yes, it will do both. BTW, PhilZ CWM is way better that the standard one, with lots of improvements and extra options. And yes, it will replace your kernel (but it's a stock kernel, anyway). As for versions, you should choose what matches your ROM from what's available for download. Read the second post in this thread about the kernel selection. I believe there are some compatibility notes somewhere further down in the thread - for example, I remember reading that LSS kernel works with LSD ROM base. That's exactly what I have - LSD-based ROM and PhilZ LSS kernel. Works perfectly. And of course, if your phone comes with ICS ROM, don't flash the JB kernel onto it... :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
I'll be flashing it from stock, so which version should I choose? Should it match the version I have at the time of flashing CWM or the ROM I'm about to flash(or doesn't it really matter)? What happens if I then flash SuperNexus? Won't a custom ROM replace the kernel anyway? Feel free to slap me if I'm over-analysing it. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kt-Froggy:
Stock ROM can be different versions... If it's the most current JB 4.1.2, get the latest PhilZ version with LSS base. If not, check your version and match it. You have to match what you have at the time before flashing. When you flash SuperNexus later, it will replace the kernel, since it's an AOSP ROM, and PhilZ is Sammy stock. But I understand you need PhilZ just for rooting and having CWM for subsequent flashing, no?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
Yes, I would like to have CWM after flashing SuperNexus. Is it unlikely to work at all after flashing it? Can I just upgrade it to the latest version after flashing SuperNexus?

EDIT: Perhaps what you mean is that the version of CWM is only critical when flashing from stock, and becomes irrelevant after flashing a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kt-Froggy:
Honestly, I don't know what happens with PhilZ CWM after flashing SuperNexus - whether it stays or gets replaced... I use stock-based ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shoey63:
Once you flash a custom ROM, Philz kernel AND recovery are overwritten by whatever comes with that ROM. In the case of SuperNexus, that would be latest CM kernel and recovery.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
Thanks.

I've struck a problem. I've copied the files I need to the device, but they're not showing up in recovery. There's obviously a distinction between internal storage and external storage. However, the phone's SD card slot appears to be empty and there isn't an SD card in the box. Is there any way to get stock recovery to read the internal storage?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
You need to flash Philz signed.zip from external SD card in stock Recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
The files I copied to the phone don't appear in the external SD card in stock recovery. It doesn't matter - I ended up flashing Siyah using Odin, and this installed CWM and allowed me to flash from the interal SD card. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
I have a problem. IV tried to do a nandroid bk up iv put the cross in preload bit and iv changed target to emmc but when its doing the biz its saving to ext SD card with no memory so it fails after a 30 or so seconds. What I want to do is back up plus preload to int SD card. Is that possible am I being silly here?? some one help me out pls? :)

Also I really like the color change in cwm. Very cool and with alliance its very smooth and ATM battery is good. Glad I picked this to try. May keep:thumbup:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Are you sure you're in the right place?

To do TWRP backup in Philz Recovery you need to go to custom backup job>TWRP backup/restore and so on.

It makes a backup on internal SD just fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
No you get me wrong. I want cwm bk up so I select SD instead if emmc. Only thing iv changed is from SD to emmc. Apollo calls int SD card emmc thought it was the same.

sent from my I9100 Alliance v8
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Oh, I see.

That's TWRP Apolo.

Philz Recovery supports CWM and TWRP backups.

To create CWM backup just select backup>backup to internal SD.

In Philz, the backup is created on external SD unless you specificaly choose backup to Internal SD.

Is that it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrewwright:
I get it now mate thank you. Its me rushing and not reading :thumbdown: I'll do it tonight. Didn't no that it would bk up twrp. Will it restore it? Also if I go to different kernel with different cwm will the cwm I'm going to make restore on it? Thinking of sticking with this one. Seems a good idea to me. How do you find it?? Again thank you for the help :thumbup:

sent from my I9100 Alliance v8
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Yes, it will restore it. (TWRP)

As far as CWM (based) Recoveries, Dori and Siyah might need mounting sdcard and 2ndRom system and 2nd Rom data prior to restoring.

But to make things simple, one can always flash Philz, reboot Recovery and take it from there.

How did I find it? Trial and error :)

No problem.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Hi Nyssa.

Mah, don't bother. He's asking if Samsung has fixed its stock kernel so one can successfully boot after an unexpected power loss occures.

Presuming Phil makes it fixed for nothing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avicohh:
Exactly.

I wonder, maybe Samsung already solved the problem, and PhilZ continues to do it out of habit.

i work for an importer and i make a lot of firmwares for our needs. I can not use custum kernel, and i'm waiting a long time for stock kernel without this problem.

btw, it's possible to make a stock kernel with only this fix? (without cwm or any other changes)

This was already largely discussed and proved that lss did not fix it, neither will probably do any rom until maybe 4.2

How do I update stock version after root

Really nice job! I rooted XWLSS with zip-file in recovery - never easier to root.

Some newbie questions:

Should I turn of automatic OTA update in Android or those it work to update to newer stock when this root is applied?

If it updates to newer stock, do I have to re-root that stock version with a newer zip-file?

If you can't update stock through OTA (or Kies) when rooted, how do you update stock?
