[Q] Few Problems today - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I've had an SGS2 for about 4 months now and it's the best phone I've had yet
Having come from the Desire HD and a Desire before that, rooting it and so on was a bit different, but with the help of this forum and others I got there.
Today I decided to buy the full version of ROM manager and do a backup of my current custom ROM. Chose the relevant option and the phone restarted - and then froze at the startup screen! No matter what I tried I couldn't get it to restart normally or even to Recovery Mode. The only thing I could get it to do was boot into Download Mode
So I figured ok, that's what I get for messing with it - I'll just reload it using ODIN.
That brought me to this page:
http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2012/01...4-0-3-rom-with-touchwiz-guide-leaked-version/
Followed the instructions there and all went well and my phone is alive again and I must say I like the new ICS look
But..
I've lost root and SuperOneClick 2.3.3 freezes about 7 steps in "waiting for device" - I'm guessing the new kernel the above steps installed isn't compatible yet? (version 3.0.13-I9000XXKP8-CL2141 / Android 4.0.3)
So my first question is... how do I get root back from here? Also I really dislike Touchwiz. Any way to get rid of it and use the default ICS launcher, or will I just reinstall the Win 7 launcher I used previously?
Cheers for any advice!

See first post of this thread for the CF root kernel for KP8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420996 this will give you root.
As for launcher, you can use the CM9 launcher, Trebuchet launcher, it is based on stock ICS launcher, get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410674
Or you can use nova launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071 also based on stock ICS launcher.

[Q] Rooted, and what now?

I've rooted my Tab, and backed it up with Titanium and removed some bloatware. But what should I do now? Any suggested root only apps, I've downloaded Task10 ROM but not yet installed it, but I may wait for an ICS build.. Just wondering what others have done with their rooted Tabs.
Download ROM Manager and use it to flash the latest CWM recovery(if it's not already there) and make a nandroid backup, then start flashing ROMs, my favorite is the galaxy task 10 but feel free to try other stuff
If you're looking for a good ICS buid try this one, I have it on now and it's working pretty well:

thanks for the tip, and I've downloaded it just need to figure out how to use it

i don't have enough post to post on other thread. Is video and the camera working? I tried to find in thread but nothing matched. I'm running Task10 and it's by far the best one I've tried. I would like to try ICS but I would like working video.
thanks.

[Q] Questions regarding root and MIUI install

Hi. I have decided to upgrade my samsung galaxy s2 with miui. Since this is my first time flashing an android device I have a couple of questions.
Firstly, is there a reason why I shouldnt install miui on my phone aside from the void warrancy?
#do I get the warrancy back if I unroot and unflash before I take my device to the service?
Next, i have read that i need to root the device first, before i can install miui. Is that true?
#which kernel should I use for that?
I have heard that siyahkernel Is the best. But on the xda thread it says it isnt compatible with any ICS roms. Will it work with miui 4? Is this thread a root at all? I can only assume it is because it has cpu/gpu oc/uc and ov options...
Also, cfroot Has a big and detailed thread. But this one does not support rom manager. I'd need to use cwm for flashing. Is this a problem?
So with which kernel do I go?
No, use a jig too.
Use Cfroot.
What? You don't need rom manager, not sure what you're getting at here.
I'd recommend using a gingerbread version of miui as it's your first time. Gb is stable, ics isn't 100% there yet.

Good choice going with miui, however I wouldn't use the ics versions at the moment as they are buggy. I would personally recommend wiui latest gingerbread version as it is stable as hell and works with siyah.

Thanks for the reply. But:
Whats a jih?
MIUI install guide (miuiandroid(dot)com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/) says to use ROM manager. But I suppose cwm does the same thing.
I've read somewhere that the last sgs2 miui version is based on official 4.0.3 samsung files. Shouldn't that mean that there are no bugs aside from the ones which are also found on samsung update channels?
I really mainly want miui because of ics, and chrome browser. I have no interest in voiding my warrancy so I can stay on gingerbread. The better UI simply isn't worth it. So you suggest I wait for official samsung updates? (I do want the better UI...)
Thanks for the reply!
Cheers
No, miui ics introduces several bugs of its own despite being based on samsung rom.

A jig resets your "Custom binary counter", the thing that counts how many times you've flashed a rom/kernel/whatever. Samsung will see its above 0 and may, or may not, said that your warranty is still void.
If you're really that desperate for ics, go for it. Just make a Nandroid backup with CWM incase you don't like it.
No, it's still buggy, but it is still really good & can be used as a daily rom, I would think.

I wouldn't say that I am desperate for ics, but I am pretty sure I will install miui at one time anway. I don't like the cartoonish icons of touchwiz. The question I think right now is, whether I install ICS right now, or should I wait for ICS to become availabe on KIES and install miui later. (I suppose they'll fix the remaining bugs than)
Also, does anyone suggest a different rom than miui, which is better for some reason? I like eyecandy, but I do want performace as well.
Thanks for your answers.
Cheers
Edit:
If I do upgrade to ics and miui. All I have to do is root it with cfroot and use cwm to do a nandroid backup, and than use cwm to install miui 2.3.16?

If you're not desperate then flash miui 2.3.9. Best rom I've ever used.
MIUI is already rooted. Just root whatever you're on now, make a Nandroid backup of that, and then flash miui. Btw, once you're on miui you'll never turn back

Was back on the ROM in my sig within 36 hours Tried 4 different GB MIUIs, not one gave me anything my current setup couldn't do better. Each to their own though.

Fair enough.
The thread title does however confuse me:
MIUI ROM 2.3.9 Releases [GB] & [ICS ENGLISH FULL]
miuiandroid(dot)com/community/threads/miui-rom-2-3-9-releases-gb-ics-english-full.15662/
So miui 2.3.9 for sgs2 is gb based. If i understand correctly than I have to download from this thread. But isn't installing old versions dumb? Or is 2.3.16 a major jump which introduces new bugs?
Edit:
Okay as far as I understand 2.3.9 is GB and 2.3.16 is ICS. 2.3.9 works very good while 2.3.16 is laggy.
So to get this straight:
I want to install miui 2.3.9-- The steps are:
update to latest version. (i have dukg2 i'll go to kj3)
root with cfroot
backup with nandroid
system wipe, galvik wipe, cache wipe
install miui rom with cwm
???
This is it?
Edit2:
Is there a way to store my defender savegame?
Edit3:
I have read that siyah kernel is very fast. How do i install that kernel?
Do I do all the steps liste above, and than when I am done installing miui install siyah kernel?
Turns out siyah has NTFS usb OTG feature. I now really want siyah.

Before i got samsung galaxy s2 I had a nokia 5800 for 3 years. It was like switching from a sedan to formula 1. I am still so impressed by the power of SGS2 that some minor performance improovements aren't important. Not yet at least...
Thus I am looking for eyecandy (since i can't get ICS and chrome just yet). Which as I've hear MIUI is best at.
Besides, there's no link in your sig. Otherwise i'd love to take a look at that rom. What does miui lack at btw?

Look in xda sgs2 forum is 20 normals rom and 2 miui, you can change what kernel you want, what theme you want, coz almost all is compatible each others. For miui you need special kernel, special theme, etc. Don`t wasting you time using miui
Rubbish. Opinion is one thing, misinformation is another :-|

Right. Because touchwiz is a lot sexier? Please. The miui themes are beautiful. Even stock looks stunning. But hey, I heard kids love the cartoonish look if touchwiz.

Big banner that says "SlimROM by krinyo75"... not visible on xda's app. Skinny, fast, monochrome - the way I like it (yes, I tried BAT)
What does miui lack:
- installed adfree, still got many ads.
- sammy's stock browser is so much better than MIUI's
- camera is nowhere near good enough
- flaky GPS
- laggy music player (tried it first on my SGS waybackwhen, still no better)
- limited kernel choice
- all phone numbers hyphenated after 3 digits
- don't want workarounds for an app drawer - I want an app drawer, period
Sure some of these sound petty, but horses for courses... since MIUI v4 will be based on Samsung's framework and kernel sources are now released, I'll try it again when it's done.
One thing I love about MIUI - only non-3rd party contacts app I've seen with a list view - no photos, no stupid icon next to contact name.

[Q] Root and custom rom for S5830

Alright this is my first post here..
I am a complete newbie as far android rooting and custom rom installation is concerned. I have been using Samsung galaxy ace's stock installation unrooted phone for about 6 months...after installing a few apps the phone has become sluggish..and battery drains out more quickly I can do a factory reset
but its not practical reinstalling apps again and again . I figured out custom rom is the way to go to unlock the potential of the phone but the chances of bricking my phone has stopped from taking the plunge.
I haven't yet found a recent how to root and install custom rom post for the galaxy ace S5830 ,the ones that are available are 8 -9 months old I believe a lot has changed since then
My current rom is gingerbread DDKQ6
In short this is what I want
1) Back-up the entire factory os( ie samsung touchwiz etc)..incase I screw up I can always go back.
2) root the phone
3) Install a stable and secure rom gingerbread or ics (even better) which is fast and doesn't lag after installing a few apps. without sacrificing any original features of the phone apart from touchwiz
4) a rom which has all google apps running (gmail,android market,placess,navigation ,search,youtube etc).. i noted the current ics roms for galaxy ace don't have the camera working.
Pls help.

Chances of bricking is very less. You can read the stickies in development section. All info given there. Nothing much has changed. So you can use the old posts without worry.
as you new better start with a stock custom Rom . try stocklite 6 or adrenaline Rom. you Will know what you were missing.

For flashing a rom, ALWAYS delete Dalvic cache, cache and factory reset. Remember those 3 and you can flash any rom you want. Delete these before installing the rom, then flash.
Some roms don't require you to delete one of those, but always do just for safety measures and to avoid future problems.
How do i update superuser app?

As other users told you you can follow other guides about galaxy ace (even 11 month old, not so much have changed (for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145).
Just two advices if it's your firs experience with ROMs and root (that I learned here, and "save" my smartphone til now! )
1) To avoid lag and memory limits you should try link2sd or a2sd when yo'ull root (google for them)
2) NEVER use ROM Manager (or the CWM apk pre-installed in some ROMs) to backup your phone/intall ROMs/MOD/etc (NEVER USE IT!) because it'll brick your Ace!
Hope have helped you... Good Luck

So i`ll assume that you already rooted ok?
Download Clockworkmod recovery from dev section
Install it by going to recovery-apply update then choose the sip file
Reboot
Download AOSP rom
put in SD
reboot to recovery
wipe everything
install zip from SD
choose AOSP rom ok?
but AOKP is still under beta so I don`t really recommend it
Its all on www.google.com or just use your brain to click the stickies please....

no i havnt rooted the phone.. but i have read somewhere that it is must to root phone before installing custom rom.. so looking forward the app and method to root my device
another thing is i want take up my stock rom too.. i may shift to stock ROM if i m unable to handle custom..
so the backup of the stock ROM is to be taken before rooting orr after rooting?
Back up with cwm after rooting and after installing cwm. Still, the best way to return to stock is Samfirmware and flashing through Odin (u need a PC and the ace's controllers).
It's all in the forums, just don't rush to flashing stuff without an exit plan.

I can't make sense of what you say but i think cleaning data+cache in clockwork recovery can fix that...
For me it worked for the first time and without need of samsung account.try without it...

Me too with rooted tab, however, it does check for and download updates and asks for a samsung acc. However, installing the update got a message error. Btw, I'm looking for a fast stable ROM with HC 3.2 and a pre-installed launcher. Anyone got any ideas?
Hi.
to all: go to this address and follow the instructions:
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-p7500-honeycomb-xwkl1-firmware-72067/
then install samsung apps or a launcher or everything else...
I've flashed it myself several times till now(I've bought my tab nearly a week ago and have almost boomed it)
if you have the same prob again tell me to upload some videos...

If ur loking for stable HC3.2 try Overcome 10.1 Series. Most stable for 3G GTab but removes too much from TouchWiz.
I would personally recommend GALAXY TASK 14 or Clean ROM 2.0 but only if u have WiFi only GTab.

thanx it work
but why there is no updates?
If you mean updates for android os,Ice cream sandwich and jelly bean have already been released(ICS without camera and JB without anything right now...).
I recommend only ICS CM nightly if you ever want to flash...
I rely on the tab to take pics a lot, so I cant afford to lose the camera. Clean ROM's developer seems to have moved on to another device, so I think I'm gonna go with Task. Thanks!
Ps: This may sound dumb, but how do you update CWM, and how to install the b00sted's themes here ? I downloaded it but have no idea how. Does it run on stock launcher?

Yeah, I figured out how. But dont know how to install the CWM touch, it's a *.img file. And about b00sted's themes, I meant do they run with stock ROM, sorry!

In order to install cwm touch, you have to put it in a .tar file and use odin. Or make a cwm flashable zip.
you can find non-touch recovery in here:

5.0 Kernel/ROM/Odin Help

Skip to second paragraph for main problem, Third for main question
I am so hungry to get my hands on ICS, and I will do anything to get a rom, but not sacrifice my camera. So for a while a was literally switching back and fourth between stock rom and paranoid android (4.0.4) just to take a picture. But recently, I tried out ICS Crumble, based on AOKP, and I switched back because it was the slowest and buggiest rom I have used on any device, even when I tried other AOKP roms.
So I switched back to Paranoid android via CWM Recovery, but usually I use ROM Manager, since it back ups the stock rom automatically, but I was mad so I used CWM Recovery, and forgot to do a backup...So I tried flashing the stock rom, and pre-rooted version of the stock rom, but all it says is "Installing update, Installation aborted". I am wondering: where to find 2.3.6 odin update (I tried searching, no luck), if I can download a 4.0.4 kernel along with my 4.0.4 rom to get the camera back, or how do I get the camera back.
The main question is: HOW DO I GET THE CAMERA BACK, THAT IS ALL I WANT AND NEED. If I can't, well you now know a Galaxy Player is up for sale, and I will just get myself a Nexus 4 off ebay (only place you can get it). And please reply, Ieft this out of the Q&A since my other questions gone unreplied, depsite all the view the've got, if I can't get it back, just tell me, the iphone will come into your house and rob you if you dont....

I'm no expert at this, but only a gingerbread ROM would get your camera to work. I recommend flashing this custom ROM. and flashing the correct kernel.

Keep in mind that using the ICS camera app, that there is no zoom-in / zoom-out function. The Galaxy player 5 does not support it.
What do you mean by that

The camera on our Galaxy Player 5.0 cannot zoom in.
