Hi!
Moving over from Desire to SGS2 and I'm excited
Couldnt find a Q-thread on Lite'ning-ROM (as I dont want to ask in dev-thread), so here goes:
After flashing latest 1.3, I get force close on:
com.google.process.gapps
and some more apps like Handcent
Tried wiping cache but no luck..
Any ideas?
If there's a thread I missed out on - plz feel free to delete!
Oh strange, I don't have this problem at all. My advice would be backup all user apps with Titanium Backup and wipe the whole thing.
I hope someone smarter than me can help .

Often fix that sort of problem with a factory reset .

Yep, I believe that would sort it also, but ROM-chef states that wipe etc isnt necessary, so if I can avoid a factory reset I would be happy
can i ask those who are on Lite'ning Rom 1.3, can you list all the apps it has stripped? I went to the Lite'ning Rom 1.3 dev page and its a massive 138 pages of info. So far i have memo, wifi sharing as the apps stripped from this rom. Could the OP or anyone list all the apps stripped so i know what to backup before updating from KE7?
thanks heaps

Did you do a nandroid backup before flashing? What Kernel were you using?
I had some FC's when I flashed it but that was because I had some incompatible mods (black phone dialer, black in call) that were for KE7.

Do a nandroid, see whats missing, and then go back if not satisfied/make list of apps to back up
I flashed this on mySGII and I dont think any app was removed afaik!
I didn't have Handecent installed though; so I cant confirm that!
If this is going to be the Question thread for Lite'ning then I'll re-post my issue;
I flashed Litepro's Lite'ning ROM v1.1 a week or so ago and it caused Flash content in the browser to jump and move about whilst scrolling. When still, the content played fine, but the effect when scrolling is very ugly as you can end up with a flash banner accross what you're trying to read.
I went back to stock ROM and all was back to normal.
I've put v1.2 on hoping that the Flash problem might have been noticed and fixed but it's not.
Installed 1.3 and now want to go back
Hi Guys,
I am sorry for this stupid question but I am extremely new to this and have no idea anymore what I'm doing. I was wondering if there was a way to remove this rom and go back to the original one. Is there a way I can go back to the original way I received it. I thought flashing XWKE8 with PDA will return me back back to the original stock
You can find all the orginal stock roms & kernels here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Flash them with Odin like you did for Lite'ning
I tried wiping everything, but no luck
I tried flashing XWKE7 Stock Kernel, but no luck
Only way is perhaps to unroot and start over?

Is their a specific way I have to do it? flashing XWKE8 by PDA doesn't seem to remove Lightening 1.3. I just want the original SII with CF-Root 3.7.

I just flashed it as a PDA as per the normal instruction and it seemed to work fine. All apps and data were intact.

Last question, I know this sounds n00bish but what is CWP? Is it stock kernel because I tried flashing that and still no luck. I heard I have to flash a bare nandroid backup. Anyone know where I can get those?

I don't know, I'm a noob too! All I know is that I was able to flash that and my GS2 was back to stock (as far as I could tell) and Lite'ning was gone. All apps and settings remained.

I have one rom manager PRO and i tried to check if avaiable new update but still not yet but im afraid that rom manager wont work or maybe coming too much delay?
Someone could please explain me about it?

in short, CM7 is based off Gingerbread and CM9 is based off ICS. If you want ICS, flash CM9 or one of the other roms in the dev section(s).
CM9

You need to read around a LOT more.
First off, don't use ROM Manager on a Galaxy S2.
Second, no, there is no version of 4.0.3 for CM7 because cm7 itself is 2.3.7. What you want is CyanogenMod 9.
EDIT: Ninja'd! That took me much longer to type than I thought it did. :S
Has anyone mentioned to you that you need cm9 for ics?
Oh there it is.

hmmm so i have to flash cm9 but is stable ? Too bad that im not good experience how to flash (cause i didnt even tried first time...i got cyanogen from china already installed).
I dont wanna finish brick or tilt telephone lol maybe i have to give support if someone know how to work this update.....is true talking about Mod is not automatic update need always do something manual...like odin ( i dont know either how to use odin anyway but i heard most ppl use it)

You can use TB to backup apps and data. Just remember when you're restoring apps on your new rom, DO NOT restore system apps/data. It will royally screw things up. The best course of action would be to manually select which games/apps to restore with data. The rest of your apps you should just redownload from the Play Store.
As for ROM Manager, it can just mess things up on this phone. You don't need it though...you can do everything you need to do with CWM Recovery or Mobile Odin.

CMW = ClockWorkMod
Also, should he not follow the basic instructions for first time flashers so he can undo whatever the hell the Chinese dude did?

@matt,
I thought ROM Manager still works perfectly for any CyanogenMod ROM, CM7 or CM9. It's just highly recommended NOT to use with any other ROM that not-CM.
@OP, I strongly suggest you spend much more time reading and make sure you understand the whole process of making the CM9 on your device. In fact, it will save you more time than just keep flashing it, bricking it and hunting for help.

For cm7 it was okay for downloading but not flashing as i understood it but cm9 can make full use of it. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

If you already have a kernel with ClockworkMod, you don't need to worry about flashing one before flashing CM9.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Nandroid backup.
2. Download latest CM9 and GAPPS
3. Do a full wipe in ClockworkMod
4. Flash CM9 in ClockworkMod
5. Flash GAPPS in ClockworkMod

you can boot into CWM directly and do anything that ROM manager can do except download the rom....

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.

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?

In order to install cwm touch, you have to put it in a .tar file and use odin. Or make a cwm flashable zip.

Hi,
I want to go from CM7.2 back to a rooted stock rom.
I tried to install two different roms via recovery modus and install zip from sd-card.
But it failed. (showed something like "... is no longer valid")
So i made a journey through google during the last three days.
But I didn't found a page where it is clearly step by step explained.
Seems to be very tricky with the HTC Legend.
Samsung Note was much easier.
I don't want to make something wrong, can some help me with this?
Regards
Michael
You can try a old version of CWM., i think v2.5.0.7 could work.
Hi,
thanks for this.
One Question before I'm going to try it.
If it works and i have a rooted Stock Rom afterwards, can I go back easily to CM7.2 by restoring it with the ROM Manager and the Backup/restore funktion?
Needless to say that I've made a backup before.

Michael

Hi,
when the Stock Rom is really rooted, then you can go back to CM7.2 or any oher rom. Try B0.8.4 from BlaY0 , it is very stable and has a working GPS.
Hi,
thanks again, because it worked. I just installed a rooted Stock Rom (3.14.161.1 r1 - Stock Froyo ROM for the HTC Legend with Online Kitchen)
with the Rom Manager after I've changed to CWM 2.5.0.7.
So, now I can try out some Roms.
Pretty perfect.
Thx

After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.
My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?
I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.
On the Siyah thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?
Are these the proper files for Criskelo?
Criskelo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo
I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.
To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap ([email protected]).
Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.
You can use any rom you want. It will come with its own kernel and overwrite the one you have

So this from the the first thread isn't true?
"You must use an ICS kernel, and it must work with Samsung firmware, and be the no-mic-swap version. If you install a Gingerbread kernel the phone will not boot."
Sorry, it's all a bit confusing to me.

Just do as Pirate says and you will be fine. Dont worry about the kernel because the rom you want will have the appropriate kernel packaged in

it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.

How do I do an EFS backup? I have searched this, but haven't found anything specific to this phone. Just want to make sure I am doing it correctly.
The next step is to do a FULL BACKUP. I did a backup in CWM Recovery. Does that work?
When I move the ROM to my phone, do I take the whole zip file? Is there any particular file(zImage?) I point to when flashing through CWM or is it the whole zip file?
Thanks again for all the help.

How do I do an EFS backup? I have searched this, but haven't found anything specific to this phone. Just want to make sure I am doing it correctly.
Use any EFS Backup App
The next step is to do a FULL BACKUP. I did a backup in CWM Recovery. Does that work?
Yepp that is a Nandroid backup
When I move the ROM to my phone, do I take the whole zip file? Is there any particular file(zImage?) I point to when flashing through CWM or is it the whole zip file?
Nope just keep the whole zip and select it in CWM
Thanks again for all the help.

Good choice for a first ROM. When you get bored with that Shostock3 is really nice but wait until 1.5 comes out. It has some fixes that will polish it up nicely.

Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.
What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?

Yes on the full wipe before flashing the new ROM.
What else are u trying to retain besides apps and their data? If that's all TiBu is fine

It would be nice if I didn't have setup e-mail everytime, but if I can keep my apps and their data with TiBu, that should be fine.

Once you get accustomed to it, flashing with a full wipe isn't too bad. Make a nandroid backup in case you decide to go back. And I would recommend you buy the full version of titanium back up to get the batch features, and support the developer. It is probably the most important app for those that flash regularly.
I can fully wipe and flash and have everything back up and running the exact same way it was in like 10 minutes. But I like the chance to start fresh
