CheckRom help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got CheckRom installed with Kitchen. I've gone into Kitchen to install the ICS Theme but when it installs, I cannot use the Phone or Contacts function. An error comes up about some android.process. Is that not working? Also what is the best theme on there at the moment?

Try factory reset .

as memoix said install theme restore package or flash the whole rom without wiping.

Thank you so much guys. Done it and worked perfect. Then reinstalled the ICS theme and worked. Another noob question. The Kitchen app shows kernels available to download, if I do download it from there and install, is this a no wipe or would it wipe everything from my handset? Which kernel do you recommend?
Also I know it ain't as smooth as my friends one.

No wipe. Leave the same kernel or speedmod for stability.

I went to download rom on the Kitchen app, I am pretty sure I've got the latest version. It says that there's an update and tries to download but always stops around the 30% mark. Is this update an error?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if CheckROM RevoHD™ V4 is including RTL fix ?

I believe that is not included by default, but you can download and flash it with the kitchen app.

Thanks for the reply

Since I can't post in the development thread, can someone let me know if CheckRom will have an update soon for ICS. In a related query, why does the update on the kitchen app for the rom stop downloading after a while....

Does anyone else's home screen swipe lag a bit?

Today i'm instal this CheckRom (RevoHD v4) with ICS 1.7 Domination Soul Bound theme and it look like a Charm. Its faster and incredible then stock room.

Wooot?
This Base is in-house developed by me and Robbielicious ! It's all done from scratch I hope you all like it
Extended Power
Overscroll Glow
Transparent Status Dropdown
SIP WiFi+3G
Battery Percentage
Root
Busybox
OpenVPN
Bash
Talk2 (working video)
GingerBread Launcher
System Themed as Usual
CRT-Off

GPS fix
Huge apn list
DEODEXED and running fast
New DarkyROM2 Bootanimation by Goldie
More things that I could not remember
New SuperCore?
Some init.rc changes required by KH3+
Fixed (hopefully) root issues for all
Added SWAP support
How do I get this?
I am rooted!
Get SuperCore_1.6.tar and put it on your SD-Card
Get DarkyROM2 Tool from market
Open app and use "Flash/Install File from SDCARD" to browse to and install the kernel
If you are on anything prior to KH1 you need to select WIPE in DarkyROM2 Tool
After rebooting upload DarkyROM2_KH3_Base.zip to SD-Card and flash it like you did the kernel
Wait for the phone to reboot and flash the new firmware
I am not rooted
Flash SuperCore_1.6.tar with Odin (put in PDA and do NOT tick repartition)
Get DarkyROM2 Tool and Superuser from market
Upload DarkyROM2_KH3_Base.zip to SD-Card
If you are on anything prior to KH1 you need to select WIPE in DarkyROM2 Tool
Open DarkyROM2 Tool and use "Flash/Install File from SDCARD" to browse to and install DarkyROM2_KH3_Base.zip
Wait for the phone to reboot and flash the new firmware
Changes in R2:
Reverted to deleting user apps when wipe is selected. Keeping them caused FCs. Oh well...
Cool! But where are the files?
SuperCore 1.6 Kernel: SuperCore_1.6.tar

If you pic the stock odin that you can flash normal

[Q] bionix 1.3.1 orig theme & davlik wait period

hi
i looked around for a bit but couldn't really find a specific flashable file for what im looking for... is there a zip out there to revert to the original theme/settings that came with Bionix 1.3.1? im getting bored of the simple b&w so it's time to start experimenting with some themes... :x
also... quick question about davlik.. most of the theme instructions say to wipe the davlik cache before/after installing a new theme but dont really mention anything about the waiting period that is normally associated with wiping the cache when installing a new rom. is it necessary to wait the 15-20 minutes before using my phone or can i just go ahead and start doing things with it immediately after i flash a theme?
any helpful answers appreciated. thanks!
I have been looking for the same thing! The erobos ported theme has the zip but the link to download doesn't work anymore.
The dalvik-cache must be wiped when a new theme is flashed so you won't see traces of the previous after the flash. When the phone reboots after the flash, the boot time will take longer because the phone has to rebuild the dalvik-cache that you just wiped. This only takes about an extra 5 mins tops. As for restoring a theme, you can just push the origianl files from the Bionix-V ROM package back to your phone, if you dont want to do that, PM me and i'll make you a flashable zip that does this.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH GUIDE AND NEW FEATURES OF SAMSUNG OFFICIAL ICS AND ROM QUESTIONS
Hey guys. With the new Ics roms there are brand new ways to do things that are very different from gingerbread.
How do I take a screenshot in ICS?
This is one new feature of ICS. Hold down the power button and volume down button.
Can I still slide my finger across the status bar to change brightness?
Yes.
Where is usb debugging and unknown sources?
The usb debugging is now in developer options in the settings menu. Unknown sources lies in security options in the settings menu.
How do I activate face unlock?
Go to settings then security and select screen lock. There you will find face unlock along with 4 other options.
How come when I hold the home button I get this menu instead of the last 6 apps I use?
Google made a better way to multi task in Ics so now everything you used is shown. You can swipe right or left to kill an app.
How do I copy and paste?
Hold down on the screen and move the arrows to what you want to copy and press the piece of paper at the top right of the screen.
How do I activate mass storage, all that shows up when I plug in the computer is mtp?
Once again this is a new feature of ics. To get mass storage go to settings then click more then usb utilities and click usb storage.
How come when I click on phone I no longer see the contact tab in the menu. I only see phone, log, and favorites???
This was done by Google to help stay organized and provide a clean experience to users.
How come with all ICS roms my facebook photos don't sync and how can I fix them?
Well you got me there. For some reason the photos don't sync natively on ICS. I think its a way by google to boost users of google plus. This is easily fixable by using an app called sync my pics or by using friendcaster from the play store?

Do you have clock work recovery? If so. Wipe data then wipe cache. Then wipe dalvick cache under advanced and flash the rom.
(it sounds like you have 3e recovery. If your not rooted and running a custom kernel it won't work.)

Omega v5.2 ROM (default version) vs stock firmware

Hi,
I read up on the Omega v5.2 ROM and it looks very good. I just want to know from those who are already using it, how much better performance is it using the recommended version whcih I think is called the "Default" vs the stock firmware? It is that much smoother and better battery performance?

No its far to early to be better by anything but a very small margin .
Battery performance is down to the user not the firmware .

Tried Omega 4.2 and 5.2 briefly. Both times it broke Navigon and the camera hung on me. Don't see any benefit of the Hyperx mod. 5.2 caused my phone to warm up noticably.
So you wouldn't recommend 5.2? Also, if I do decide to flash it, do I need to do a full wipe in CWM before I flash it or can I just flash it from stock in CWM?

Have you done ANY research in the main thread? I don't think so, as all of this is covered there, including instructions (theres even a video to walk you through it). Don't be lazy.

A full wipe is the recommend, because then you have a clean installation and you beware of strange failures.
An instruction how you should flash Omega ROM is in the development thread (4th post) --> Installation Guide
I don't know if your phone is rootet yet, if so skip the first step and start with booting in CWM recovery.
Had used Omega on my SGS II, now using Omega on SGS III since 3.0. Works great for me, no errors whatsoever.
Omega 5.2 is flawless ok but hyper x mod is useless. It creates noise in video recording. No need to use 30mbps bit rate but if in future 60fps recording come true it will be a charm!!

You have to install it with CWM:
1. Reboot to Recovery (CWM-Menu)
2. Select the zip-File
3. Enjoy
Looking at the tutorial video where it shows Omega 3 being installed on a stock rom where it says "no wipe necessary"
Does the same apply to version 6 ? as my rom is stock & rooted, will all my apps/widgets be lost or recoverable with Titanium, this will be my first custom rom and its looking great, thanks for your patience

Then today the phone just died and when i stuck it back on the charger it said i had no battery left when just a min ago i had 80% left. And another quick questions I want to know about the media gui add ons and media add on do they already come with the rom? Because it says page 9 is where i can find them but searched from page 1 to page 20 and could not find anything but the beats mod any help or anything I know i should just use the search but i just don't know where to begin to search =[ any help please?
P.S.

Flash newest version 2.6.29. Do the Aroma version (it does the wipe IN the rom). Then download and flash the Options Chooser. That has all the mods and tweaks you're looking for (SRS/Beats, etc). Those should work with this rom quite well.
PM me if you hae any issues. I don't get on Q&A very often, but I answer nearly every PM I get personally and I usually will get back to you very quickly.

No problem. I really should come on this portion more often to check out if people have any issues with my rom. As always, have a question, let me know...I am not someone who gets upset at receiving PMs
From what I've read and my experience, the Aroma version is for upgrading, the zip version is for fresh install. Important to do a full wipe including deleting the .android_secure folder on the SD card. When I've dome fresh MIUI installs using Aroma I've had updater issues and random reboots.

Odd. I've built in aroma now for 3 months and have had no such issues. O well. I still recommend aroma for installs.

Hey, whatever works! I'm by no means a MIUI expert, started using it on one of my phones a couple months back and still learning.
