Hi...
Greetings all.. Just joined the site today..That was a nice video intro to join
Am from india having this SGS II (GT - I9100) I updated the stock 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 by odin method after using the guidance in xda and rooted it using super user So far so good Now the thing is i searched the forum for 2days relating to this but couldn get any clear idea :
I want Voodoo LOUDER in my mob. I dunno which kernal supports it and whether any kernal has this inbuilt. Also i would be grateful if some1 tells me/ gives link to install such kernal
Btw wats the diff bet ROM and kernal ?
Plz help.. Thanks in adv..
Hi, welcome.
I don't know about every kernel but Voodoo louder definitely works for me on chainfires KK5 cfroot kernel and also on the experimental cm9.
More info can probably be obtained from the voodoo louder thread.
In layman's terms...
Firmware is all the stock software on your device.
A Rom for our purposes is a custom firmware compilation that has been modified in various ways to add or remove functionality. All are different.
A kernel is the basic operating system or brains of the device.
Im sure others will give you a more detailed explanation.
Good luck with it all.

SiyahKernel supports Vodoo Louder.
^ Yep, Siyah, SpeedMod K19, CF and Stock kernels are supported.
If I can read English right then Supercurio recommended Stock kernel.

I am currently using Siyah kernel latest version and then bought the voodoo Louder app from market. Download siyah and you should be fine. Regarding rom and kernel combination...Not going to tell you as you have to make your own mind regarding what is best....So many roms read have a look and you decide..Always read the first pages and then last ten pages to get a feel what people think of the rom...That way you can make your mind up.
Good luck anyway
Speedmod, NEAK kernel, Siyah, CF-root kernels( dont try it though since you are already rooted) are few kernels that support voodoo...but anyway il keep an eye on this thread to see how you get on

I tried and installed the Voodoo Louder compatibility apk and it says 'Your device has been successfully configured' so that means it will work in mine correct ? I can proceed to buy it ? Or any other way to get it as a trial or free apk ?

what's a kernal?
The kernel in android is the linux kernel, it contains various drivers like the display, camera, bluetooth, wifi etc etc. its sort of the interface between the hw and the sw,
According to the changelog, VLouder should work with any kernel now.
Hi, I have Sensation 2 by Crisis on my SGS2 and Voodoo Louder says that its broken/incompatibile kernel. Can I install another kernel for this rom? I like it much so i dont want to change it :/
Yes but a kernel is going to be not the same but you probably wont notice the difference .
jje
So it doesnt matter if it be NEAK or smth?
Hi, I am from Germany and cant download Voodoo Louder from the market. It is not available in my country.
So is there a possibility to install it anyhow?
Does anyone have the apk file?
I really need this app! Why is it even locked?
Thanks!
Same problem for me. I cant Find IT even with market enabler.

Afternoon all,
First of all I would like to point out I am a complete Android noob I make no secrets about it, have been a iPhone user for a few years with Blackberrys prior to that, so everything is new to me.
I decided to opt for the SGS2 for my newest phone upgrade and after a week or so of use the battery was terrible (holding only 6-7h max). I read through endless threads on rooting/custom ROMs and the likes and decided to try VillianROM 1.4, to help improve the battery.
Managed to sucsessfully install it with no major dramas.
However, I think I may have the wrong CFroot kernal installed. After installing the villianrom, one of the last parts is to update the root kernal, it stated to use XWKF2. mine currently states:
Baseband version - I9100XXKF2
Kernal Version - 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725
Is this correct?? If not can someone point me in the direction where to download the correct kernal.
The phone is working fine at the moment and the battery is vastly better compared to how it was. I have noticed a problem with the music player, it seems to crash mid way through songs and re-boot, has anyone else had this issue? or could it be as a result of the incorrect kernal?
Thanks in advance,
Shakey
p.s - loving my Android experience so far and dont think ill be going back to Apple any time soon
I would leave well enough alone if its working .
However the VR rom instructions say .
If you are installing from another ROM, or stock ROM, you need to be using the CF-Root kernel, as applicable for your current ROM. You can find CF-Root and
instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103399
When using this ROM, I suggest the XWKF2 CF-Root kernel, from post 4 of Chainfire's thread.

Hi I've bought myself the SGS2 (non-G version).
now, to root, do I use the method here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
and let's say i have rooted it using CF-root 5.2, do I just pick a ROM and start flashing them? Or do I proceed to flash a Custom Kernel first before the ROM?
Anyway, I noticed that there are 2 sections for the SGS2G and the SGS2 (non-G). Which ROMS do I select from and are the ROMS variant dependent? means if I have the non-G version, I cannot install a ROM from the SGS2 Original section? A little help please! So sorry for being a noob.
Yes follow those rooting instructions, after the phone is rooted download a rom and copy it to your phone then flash it via cmw or manually via recovery mode, reboot while holding power, home and volume up.
Personally I recommend bezke UltraIcs, using it without issue

1st thing you do: read, read, read.
You can use whatever root method you feel comfortable with. I've used CF-Root, Odia's insecure kernels, SuperOneClick, and flashing Siyah kernel. They all work fine.

Most ROMs come with their own kernels, so if you flash a custom kernel, then a ROM, then the kernel that came with the ROM will overwrite whatever custom kernel you flashed first.

What 2 sections do you mean? The Galaxy S II Original Android Development, and the Galaxy S II Android Development forums?
It's important to note that these are not G and non-G. Original means developed from the ground up. (think CyanogenMod) The non-original generally means derivative from another ROM - usually stock.
I9100G ROMs are scattered throughout the I9100 forums, because there is currently no separate forum for the I9100G. The post title for these ROMs should always note that they are for the I9100G instead of the I9100 though. As long as you follow my suggestion for 1st of all above, you should be fine.
If you have the i9100g choose the roms that clearly indicates i9100G only in title, otherwise it should work just fine for i9100. Roms in original development indicate roms built completely by the developer hence the original. The Android development roms are roms that could be based off of someone else' rom or similar. You can flash roms from either section.
Just make sure to properly flash them and never forget to make a backup.

Please be aware that though simbesh said he is using it without issues, ICS is NOT officially released. Some users have issues with ICS ROMs that others use with absolutely no problems.
As Kaze105 said, ALWAYS make sure you make a backup before you flash. (in case you need to go back)

I am on stock XXKI3, which is 2.3.5, with Siyah Kernel 2.6.4. There are newer firmwares, and newer versions of Siyah, but I feel no need to upgrade as of now. I've modded my firmware myself pretty heavily, and prefer to do all the tweaks myself. Helps me understand how my phone works better.
If you're interested in a kernel that will help with battery, look at SpeedMod, then maybe Siyah. SpeedMod users swear by their battery life. I use Siyah because it has more features, and has more customization. But it's a preference thing.

Yes, should be. Though be careful - flashing some kernels automatically installs certain versions of CWM. If your backup is made in a different version of CWM than what you are trying to restore from, it may not work.

seems pretty interesting the way you mod your phone! and by modding the phone yourself, you mean you take apart tweaks from different ROMs and install them in your phone? I hope im not imposing but do you mind sharing with me the tweaks that you have done to your stock rom? i might do the same if the ICS rom doesn't work the way i want it to.

The more involved mods I have are:
Phone.apk tweaked to have Noise Reduction off by default in phone calls
Battery icon with % in status bar
CRT-off animation on screen off
Rotation animation in UI
The first three involved decompiling the files involved, editing the files, and recompiling. The rotation animation involved downloading some files that another kind soul posted that were from the Galaxy Note and installing them on my phone in place of the files that were already there. All require root. You can find all of these in the forums with a search...
Wow. I just hit 500 posts. Crazy.

Hello
I'm new into the world of flashing and rooting.
So I want to make my phone last longer and have it rooted.
I actually laid my eye's on the Siyahkernel and it looks really good.
So my question.
How to flash the Siyahkernel into my stock android version?
(Android-version 4.0.3 Baseband-version: i9100BULP6)
Could you recommend me a good tutorial?
And would you recommend the program [root]Triangle away?
Thx for reading
Siyah kernel is really appreciated and accepted by the people, but it is recently reported some problem with ICS Siyah kernel which is in Beta stage now,
so it is recommended to use CF-root for rooting your device first, then you can later on flash your favourite kernels.
Checkout CF-root thread link in my signature.
also refere Guide for ODIN flash,
Feel free to ask if you are not clear
You have to match the version code with your current kernel version, not the Baseband vesrion, to select the appropreate CF-root
Thanks for your help and your signature rocks ^^ keep it this way please
So I have to ask.
How big is the change that (when I use my PC normally and I do what the tutorial says) I brick my device? XD
yup many ppl ,i read thier prblm is some were related to kernel ,and the recent siyah kernels r not stable...so try neak or older versionss of siyah..
alright I'm going to flash the CF-Root kernel:

Follow the Siyah's kernel thread, you would know that only one version (the rc6) had some weird "phone brick" issues which, we now know the reasons and the problem is fixed. The last 3.1 version is stable and works perfectly on my device , same thing for almost all users. Just wanted to moderate abit your comment .
well thanks for all your reply's
I installed the CF-root kernel and it workes
I will install the Siyahkernel when it gets a new feauture I need ;D

You are Welocme,
you told my signature rocks, but you forgot to write a thing on that
Firstly, sorry for taking up a Q&A thread; I know you guys don't like people doing this, but I have searched and I can't find the answer. I don't know precisely what to search for, so I could have missed it; please don't flame me if I've missed it by searching with the wrong terms. I would have posted on the thread but I don't have 10 posts.
So I'm running a recent build of CM9 on my SGS2. I wanted to try out CF-Root kernel (since I couldn't get the fancy features of Siyah to work without killing my battery. I know this is my fault not the kernel's, just saying that I'd like to try it when I have time to mess around with settings and features), but I struggled to work out which version to download. Chainfire's thread suggests finding the version to download by looking for 'KI4' (for example) in the Kernel Version. I don't have any such string in my kernel, since I'm running a non-stock kernel. I do, however, have 'LPS' in my baseband version. So I downloaded this version of CF-Root and flashed via Odin, no problems. When I booted the phone, I got an error from com.android.phone crashing continuously. So I just reflashed the CM9 version I was running previously.
I'm sure I've just done something very stupid, but I have tried with wipes and other such things. Could someone lend me a hand? Have I chosen the wrong version? Perhaps CF-Root doesn't work with CM9? I didn't think these could be incompatible, and it didn't specify this on the thread when I searched.
Many many thanks for your help
firstly y do u need a cf root for custum rom an tht too cm9....if ur on stock cf root woprks but if ur not satisfied wiv the cm9 kernel i think siyah ,neak r good options an obiviously don expect a good batt life on custum roms.....i saw good life on hydroginic rom....iam on stock cause i need a stable rom....

Sorry, I should have mentioned this in my first post! I'm looking for a different kernel because I read that cf-root has "ro.secure=1", but keeps root priveleges. I don't think the other kernels offer this, but I could be wrong. Do I take it from your reply that I can't use cf-root with CM9?

Excellent, thanks for your clear reply. I now have a further question; is there a kernel which supports "ro.secure=1" which works with non-stock firmware?
cf root is the closest to the stock lernel actually itslike a stock kernel wiv root,thts y its created for evey diff fw regions,no u cant cf root on any custum rom...

But do you know if any other ROMs have 'ro.secure=1'?
Or alternatively, is there any (relatively) straightforward way to set ro.secure=1? I know that some 'ro' settings can be easily changed, but if I'm correct then ro.secure is set somewhere else so it's harder to edit?
Suggest Me kernel for XXKI3 2.3.5.....
Please.
Thanks!
i would advice you to update to android 4.0.4 and use the siyah or the new Galaxian kernel,
however, if you need just a basic kernel with root acces i would recomend Cf-root since Chainfire is a wizzard when it comes to galaxy's.
Also, you could check out this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702166 : list and scroll down to gingerbread for a list of custom kernels.
read the OP and the comments for each thread to see if it is something for you!
every person wants his own flavour, so go hunting!
Good luck!
