So, have anyone benchmarked, monitored battery consumption for this new ROM?
I'm currently on Litening 6.1+Ninphetamine 2.1.3 and thought of flashing! ;P
Cheers!

I loved that kernel! Btw, you meant 'swipe' means did not wipe right?

The link is right just typos.
KI4 is 2.3.4, KI3 is 2.3.5. BB has nothing to do with the rom, it's the modem.

-Copy DarkyROM2_KI3_Base.zip into internal storage.
-Use odin to update SupperCore_2.0
-Hold Volume Up + Home + Power/Lock button until you boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
-Use the volume up/down, home and back keys to navigate to backup and storage > backup. -You can use this backup later on if you want to restore to your current ROM.
-Once the backup is complete download DarkyROM2 tool from the Android market
-Launch DarkyROM2 tool and navigate to DarkyROM tab and enable Wipe user data.
-Navigate back to General tab > Flash/Install File from SDCARD and select DarkyROM2_KI3_Base.zip.
-Wait patiently until the Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4.0 is flashed onto your device.

Hello everyone, I just flashed liten'ning rom 3.2, and it is truly an amazing rom.
I have a nooby question lol The rom is based on the KG2 kernel, does that mean I have to find that kernel and flash it by odin? I am still running the kernel from my old rom (the kg1)
Thanks alot!!
NO ! KG2 Kernel is in the rom you flashed.
Look in settings, phone info, scroll down und you see your baseband and kernel version, that you have installed on your phone.
regards spirotech
Thank you very much for your fast reply!
But it is not there, I couldn't take a pic for some reason by clicking power and home button but here is what it says:
Baseband Version:
I9100XXKG2
Kernel Version:
[email protected] #2
Build Number:
Liten'ning Rom V3.2 XXKG2
As the kernel says, that is a KG1 Kernel, any ideas?
Hmm,
mine says kg1 too!
I'll wait for 3.3 or whatever.
He's doing a good job!

Litening is amazing! However 3.2 seems off and quite buggy. I flashed back to 3.0 and 3.0 states KG2.
I would wait for a more polished 3.x version and stick to 3.0 or 2.2.
Thanks for your responses! I thought i had to manually flash the kernel haha

just clearing cache won't clear your battery stats.
go into CWM => advanced => Wipe battery stats ( charge your phone to full before )
normally, that should help after a few cycles (had a totally funky battery life when switched from KF3 to KG1 (when i upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4) and this has sorted the problem.)

looks good! if anyone tried this please tell us the battery life in this.. and i've read
something about bootloader..
does this bootloader makes your usb jig unusable??( I know the rom maker removed this

I tried to flash the deodexed version on my THRITY TWO GIGABYTE VERSION of the GT-I9100 running 2.3.3, I9100XXKG1, 2.6.35.7 I9100ZSKG2-CL361136, GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2 which I bought in Taiwan from a Taiwanese carrier, so it's NOT THE CHINESE version with it's unique characteristics (sorry to holler). I rooted it last night with Chainfire's method and simply replaced the kernel KG2 kernel with his and got CWM running and did a backup.
Tonight, I won't use the "n" word, but I tried to flash this as my first ROM from your rather thin directions. I put your ROM as a .zip in my /USB storage folder, booted into CWM recovery and flashed it using CWM. I did not wipe or erase anything as I haven't gotten around to upgrading my Titanium backup to pro and doing a super thorough backup yet (paid market not working here in Taiwan). All seemed to go well. When I rebooted it took a long time. Once booted it kept telling me phone.android.com was "force close". In "about" it showed 2.3.4, and all the following 3 categories to be KI4.
I rebooted into CWM and restored my original setup (shouted above) with no problem.
1 Could there be an issue because I have a 32GB model and the partition table isn't "normal"?
2 Do I need to flash a modem or something else, so that is why the radio was force close?
3 Should I have wiped anything? Non-Wipe to me meant, don't wipe anything since this was seemingly near "stock".
4 Am I stupid?
5 All/combo of the above.
I realised I didn't say thanks to Wanam....Thanks
My money's on the non-wipe thing. The android version you had previously is way too old compared to this one, totally different base (well not totally, but still).
So yea, i'd suggest a wipe.
BTW I purchased Titanium backup before paid market came to Greece. There's a paypal purchase option, google it.
I'm currently on KF1, can i just flash this with no wipe ? And can I just reload my old CSC ?
These are custom ROMs for International Galaxy Player 5.0 with minimum modifications. What you get is essentially a stock gingerbread ROM, rooted plus the custom kernel (including CWM) from rumirand.

Have you wipe the cache partition and do a factory reset? If there is old user setting in data partition, it can cause unexpected behavior.
I can do some small tweaks if it doesn't need to go too deep into the system, no guarantee though. Many new features will come from rumirand's kernel actually. e.g. lag-fix should come fairly soon.

Forgot about that im new to Samsung and Odin, thought it did it for you. Ive just wiped Dalvik cache, wipe data and cache partitions and its WORKED thank you.

Glad that it works. A little surprise that it doesn't need a data wipe when going from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5. May be the stock ROM is designed to work with existing data.
Wanted to confirm that the non wipe way works, all settings are saved after update to this rom/kernel...thanks !!!!

I didn't do an app by app comparison, but on the surface it looks pretty much the same to me. These ROMs were release in different parts of the world, the major difference is the language support. e.g. ZSKP8 comes with a Chinese keyboard that can do handwritten input.

In CWM, under the "Advanced and Debugging Menu", there is an option "Show Log". See if that can produce some useful information about what's happening.

Hey guys,
I am interesting in rooting my Galaxy S2, as I want to use an app that requires root access. It is completely untouched in that it is not running any custom ROMs, kernels, recoveries, etc. It is in the exact same state it came out of the box, except for the official 4.0.3 update that was distributed via Kies earlier in the year.
What I would like to do is root the phone without ruining OTA/Kies updates, especially since official Jelly Bean has been confirmed. As far as I am aware that means I can't using a custom recovery method such as clockwork mod. I do not want to flash a new ROM as I am 100% not confident with doing this.
What I want to know then is if there is a way to root the phone whilst maintaining the ability to update via Kies/OTA. I remember using an app called Universal Androot to root my old Moto Flipout, perhaps there is something similar for me now?
Cheers in advance!!

I'm looking at that first method in the first link (the one that relies on busybox and superoneclick). It appeals to me because it leaves my kernel and recovery untouched. That should allow me to update to official Jelly Bean via Kies/OTA, right? Sorry for all the questions, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to these sorts of things.

The methods in both links will not change your Kernel. So you can just the easiest method.
They will allow you to update when update is available
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
The easiest way
Because you have stock firmware the easiest way is two use philz kernel its stock based kernel that has more futures than the stock kernel and it automatticly roots your phone. Follow this steps.
1. Download the zip from this link http://www.mediafire.com/?rsfvtscivibt49n
2. After downloading transfer the zip to your "SD card"(not the internal memory) of the phone
3. power off the phone
4. go to recovery by holding the power button, the volume up button, and the home button until the kernel menu comes out
5. Wipe chache
6.choose install from sd card or apply from sd card
7. choose the zip you transfered
8. after installing wipe the chache one more time and reboot the device
now you will se superuser app in the menu. Try going to the recovery and see your new kernel
Does this work with 4.1.2 stock jellybean? (XWLSD)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
1. go to and download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1534485&d=1354579840
2. place zip on externalSD
3. boot into stock recovery
4. Flash zip from externalSd
5. select Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip and you should be rooted,
this works on both ics roms and jellybean.
this just flashed the supersu app and the superuser binaries
so this shouldnt mess up the ota or kies.
hope it helps mate
I'm trying to root+cwm my brother's sgs2 to bring it back to life (so much lagg).
I've done this with my sgs3 but it's tedious trying to find the right method and files for this particular device.
I have searched these forums but am not reassured that I'm going about this the right way to get the rooting process over and done with as there doesnt seem to be much info on rooting 4.1.2. Better to be safe and ask than to be sorry...

This thread says I have to look under kernel version for something similar to 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKG1-CL349526 but this info seems to have been moved from kernel version with 4.1.2.
I'm guessing that i should use CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4.zip based on my CSC but don't see anywhere in this thread if I can use this rooting method for 4.1.2.
This thread also asks you to look at kernel code similar to XWLPX-NEE but this does not exist under kernel version on my phone. Now I'm not sure if I should use XWLSD (bootloop fixed) or XXLS8-FOP (Jellybean) as both of these are relevant to my device info.
Or should i use this method and run superoneclick later?
Any clarification would be thanked and appreciated!

use a custom kernel (eg siyah,dorimanx...etc)that comes pro-rooted and CWM installed.
link for dorimanx kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617219
link for siyah kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259
download the TAR version of the kernel and flash it with odin 3.07.
how to use odin:
download odin http://d-h.st/SdH
boot your phone in download mode (Press and hold the Volume Down key, Home button (middle key), and Power button simultaneously. A warning message will appear on the next screen. Press the Volume Up key to continue).
open odin,click on PDA,choose your downloaded kernel,and start flashing.
hope it helps.
No problem asking, but its not that there isnt much info about rooting, its that there is far too much.
My answer depends on exactly what you want, with a view to present and future desires.
If you want root and cwm you can flash apollo/siyah or philz kernel.You can do it by odin, or see what signed zips are available to use stock recovery.
You should also run a kernel cleaning script.
So what you're saying is kernel version, csc etc. all dont matter as long as its simply an i9100 running 4.1.2 when using the above siyah/dorimanx/phillz methods?
I intend to keep it as stock as possible (my bro's terrified of rooting) until he sees its safe and wants features only available in other roms at which point i'll probably use cyanogenmod with no custom kernels.
My question (how to root when on 4.1.2 for my particular hardware) is probably what most new rooters for the i9100 come to this section of the forum for today. But unfortunately the stickies give you the idea 'do not use this method unless made for your exact device!!'
or maybe its just me...
i think i'll go the philz route for pure stock experience. i have trouble figuring out which version i need based on what my about page says:
XWLSD (bootloop fixed)
or
XXLS8-FOP (Jellybean)
??

I'm trying to root+cwm my brother's sgs2 to bring it back to life (so much lagg).
I've done this with my sgs3 but it's tedious trying to find the right method and files for this particular device.
I have searched these forums but am not reassured that I'm going about this the right way to get the rooting process over and done with as there doesnt seem to be much info on rooting 4.1.2. Better to be safe and ask than to be sorry...

PDA refers to the build version of the firmware so,use the XWLSD version

Thank you!!
Wow i don't know what you guys are talking about
But if you just need to root your device why don't you try
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
1-klick and root
And if you need to install cwm you just have to download rom manager from playstore - he will automatically install the latest cwm for your device

No. Do not use Rom Manager on the I9100/T/G/M/P. At all. Ever. It will break recovery/cause bootloops eventually, which will require an wipe and/or an Odin flash to recover.
Besides, any recovery flashed on its own on this phone will only persist until the next reboot anyway, due to recovery being baked into the kernel/not on a separate partition like many other devices.
Flash a custom kernel of your choice = rooted phone + CWM & you can then flash whatever custom rom/kernel you want from there. No need to flash CWM separately.

Didn't know it shouldn't be used on these models, only tested it with my phone.
however how do i know which model he is using? I'm a bit confused know
Nevertheless, sry for giving false information, never would have thought it could break the phone cause it says in rom manager it will find the fitting cwm ...:screwy:

All good Yeah, Rom Manager breaks stuff. You might get away with using it for a while (maybe even a long while), but in most cases it do the things I mentioned sooner or later. CWM has everything you need anyway.
How do you know what model someone is using ? Ask them.

Ah okay thought u saw it in his information ...
Well okay but for me it worked, i just used it to install temporarily cwm. Afterwards i flashed a new rom and yeah ...with that you have cwm anyway.

Well this didn't go at all as I'd hoped even if it could be worse:
-rooted using Philz XWLSD (fixed for bootloop) and confirmed supersu was working
-made a nandroid backup in philz
-did a data wipe>clean for new rom as planning to install cm 10.1.3
-wiped cache & dalvik cache
-realized i should probably make a 'clean' stock version first to give my bro the option of choosing stock or cm
-restored the nandroid and rebooted
Now I'm stuck at the samsung logo on boot. Not sure how to go forward as this is my first boot issue ever after flashing 50+ roms on the s3 using cwm.
Installing cm thereafter resulted in no issues but it'd be nice to know i could go back to stock if my bro wanted

Well i don't really see a reason why the restore didn't work. I would try to make a complete wipe after restoring and than run the backup again...sometimes that helps ...
If no try to flash a custom rom first with the same Android version like ur stock rom and afterwards try to restore ....
It sounds not very logical but i had to do that often :banghead:

Apparently the problem was that philz does not backup the /preload/ partition by default which results in the bootloop. The only possibility is flashing the original fw via odin and trying to integrate that /preload/ partition with my current (incomplete) nandroid. Will need some time to test this as my brother is currently quite happy with cm.
Yeah.....I've run into that preload issue with PhilZ myself........
There is a thread on here by Chainfire for one of his creations called mobile Odin.....it allows you to flash a firmware 'in phone' without the use of a PC or PC based Odin.......
With regards to integrating two partial backups.....I'd be surprised if that worked.....integration IS probably possible..... But then you have to modify the MD5 file in order for the recovery to accept and flash the integrated backup.....from what I understand, the MD5 acts *like* a numerical 'bar code'.......
In the same way that a bar code is linked to a specific product, the MD5 is linked to a specific backup or other flashable zip.....I believe it 'encodes' the size, number of folders/files etc......if the MD5 info is a mismatch to the zip, cwm 'scratches it's head' and refuses to flash it........
