[Q] Rebase ROM? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey people
Recently I've tried to make my own noob ROM with KF3 as baseband. (is that the right word? )
And since these 2.3.4 leaks keeps coming, I now want to update my ROM to KG6, but I still want to keep the "mods" without doing them all over again.
So yeah, how do rebase my rom on/to KG3?

I'm pretty sure you need to redo the mods again on the new rom.

Anyone else?
Just want to be 100% sure

As "mods" mean changes to the framework and other files, yes you will just have to redo them on the newer framework.

Miui rom froyo

Hi I was wondering if someone could point me to a fully working miui froyo rom. If there isn't one then can someone port one from the other galaxy phones or from the nexus one. Thanks in advance

You're not going to get any froyo cm or miui roms, only gb. That's just the way it is.
And, GPS doesn't work on froyo cm/miui roms either. Also, all development on froyo cm/miui has ceased across all phones and in their place is the respective gb versions.

The only reason I wanted a froyo build because the gb version installation seems risky and I don't want to Odin or anything. I just want to have a gb rom that doesn't force you to Odin.

There's plenty of Froyo roms around here to pick from, no MIUI or CM7 though. That ships already sailed for those guys.
EDIT: And you really need to know how to Odin. Even when jumping through Froyo roms eventually you'll have to Odin to clear things up.

The Vibrant CM7 installation is now no more risky than any other rom. Very easy to flash. You can get one of the nightlies and flash through rom manager. I would not go above #8 yet though since those have call audio issues that need to be worked out.

I know how to use Odin but I hate how you have to clear up all the internal storage. I find it easier to just flash it through cwm. Will we still have to flash the bootloaders if and when the official 2.3 release comes to the vibrant

What? Odin doesn't touch your internel sdcard nor does it touch your external sdcard.
Also, the froyo cm and miui had way less working, and required some Odin to get it working.
As for 2.3 bootloaders, I'm sure you will have to because after hearing revs dissect the i9k gb roms and source, seems some initialization calls have been moved into the bootloader (i.e. gpu initialization has Ben moved to bootloader)

Juggernaut ROM?

Hey everyone well today i was wondering that if i installed the jauggernaut rom and when samsung gets the ICS update will i be able to update with the rom? Or will i have to flash back to stock?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Wrong forum me thinks but to answer your question you won't be able to get kies or ota updates with a custom rom, you will have to flash back to stock.

help please....

I don't know what info you will need so please just ask if I'm to vague.
I upgraded to ics but couldn't find a root version that would give titanium backup root access, when I tried to flash back to a previous non ics ROM it would get stuck on boot screen, my only option was to reflash ics and restore a backup which was Android 2.3.6.
Now I have severe battery problems, my Baseband is - I9100XXLPB AND KERNEL is XWLA4 running CHECKROM6hd.
I'm stuck for what to do, any advice would be much welcomed, to be honest I'm not sure what question I should be asking.
I want to remain on CHECKROM6hd with jk deluxe settings with full root access, this is important for me, the Baseband and kernel look to be the ics versions but flashing gets me stuck on boot screen, only ics flash will work :/
any help advice would be great, thanks guys...

A huge number of things factor to battery.
LA4 is the kernel for GB. No ICS kernel would work on GB, it would probably prevent the phone from booting up if you did flash a ICS kernel on a GB rom.
It would probably be best to do a factory reset or even reflash the rom after a full wipe. (after you back up your data)
If you dont want to do any of that, just install betterbatterystats (can be found searching xda forum for free)
Install the app, and use your phone like you do and then check the app to see whats causing the drain.
what is the baseband? I don't understand what the baseband and kernel really do, how they relate, are they a mismatch?
thank you

Baseband is the modem, it is completely independent from the kernel and ROM, you can use ICS modems on GB and GB modems on ICS without any issue, if you are having reception or data speed issues you can change it by flashing one in CWM from the modem thread, if you aren't i'd just leave it alone.
I changed the Kernel to XXKI4,
The battery seems to be behaving as normal again

Can I take this opportunity to ask what recommendations any of you might have for a good baseband, kernel and build number, for a jk deluxe settings ROM that is battery friendly please

Nandroid backup is not backing up the Baseband, that was why you did not get back the Baseband of of your previouse ROM (Checkrom). you will be having the Baseband of the last flashed ROM...
Are you sure you have flashed the Kernel XXKI4 on the rom XWLA4 (checkrom).?
I think you mean to say is "BASEBAND" not the "KERNEL"
yes baseband lol, but it was a 'kernel' from kitchen pro I used to flash/install it....... can I blame autocorrect?
Me?
I'm English...... as in England.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
i think ki4 is a good baseband(modem,radio)and as far as kernel there r lots of good ones like siyah,neak,redpill.....first decide gb or ics...c which is best for u?cause many don like ics an reverted to gb.....but all depends on how u use....remember every phone is diff in thier own way.....

[Q] what will happen if updated while I'm rooted

I'm on custom And I'm rooted
But I just got an system update
What will happen if u downloaded it and installed it?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
If the update has a new stock kernel (probable), you'll lose root. Easy fixed tho.
Custom recoveries will usually cause the ota to fail.
Losing root is another common result. You can also have a lot of funky things happen like the update will go halfway through and then fail, and that's pretty messy.
I would highly suggest waiting it out for your devs to build it into their ROM

Hi, if you are doing OTA it will be 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 at best, you will loose root, but not files or data.
Some apps may stop working or work differently, nothing to worry about.
Thanks and hows that? Major improvements? Something always weird with this one was the greenish tint when shooting with the flash... Is that fixed?
And there is a new chainfire's root out there i guess....
Thanks

Just want to say this isn't correct. Don't know if it's mistyped or something else, but it should be 4.1.2 'at best'.
Last official (thus OTA available) update for S2 will be 4.1.2. Sad as it is, for today's standards it is still acceptable.
what do you guys think about the 4.3 like sentinel rom?

4.1.2 is the latest (and last) official Samsung update. There are 4.2 and 4.3 roms available, but those are custom ones.

Yes i was wrong, long time didn't have to use stock.
As for ROM selection, try PAC rom, (latest nightly 4.3.1) I am really happy with this rom as my dd.
thanks guys, I am about to upgrade, just a question, can I use the OTA update even if my phone is already rooted and I have Siyah kernel on? is it going to break or get stuck?

The OTA will probably fail.....the OTA package looks for a stock setup, and if you've modified that setup in any way (custom kernel) the OTA won't install.....even if it *didn't* fail, the kernel would be overwritten and you'd lose root.
If it were me, I'd make use of chainfires mobile odin, download a jb firmware from sammobile and update that way......

I just downloaded mobile odin + last firmware like you said, from Samsung Mobile and it's now crunching

Did you enable the 'ever root' option in mobile Odin?
If not, you'll have to root the phone afterwards (if you want to)
A good place to start is the PhilZ kernel (rooted stock kernel + touch cwm)

cheers, actually no ever root since I used the lite version eh eh... I just rooted with this method w/ Siyah Kernel. worked like a Charm... now I guess I will be busy customizing it.. it seems much faster between home screens I have to say!
thanks again for the help
Gab
Yeah....I guess that's 'project butter' or whatever it's called....it's supposed to give an overall smoother performance........
If you are going to stay with stock, my advice would be to 'de bloat' it.....I used Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat first, then delete it after I'd found out that it wasn't needed/critical for the phone to run.......

The thing that I hate the most on stock rom is that it drains battery too fast
...still testing it..
