so i recently installed the rootbox aokp rom with the aroma launcher. i opted for the fluxi kernel instead of the siyrah kernel. im wanting to tweak it to get the most performance out of the kernel but im unsure of which settings to change in the xxtweaker app. it wont let me post to the actual thread since i havent made 10 posts yet. anyone got any advice?
Edit: problem resolved. thanks wonner for all your help.

Can you get into recovery and reflash AOKP?
Is that the full root box aokp for i777? Or is it just the kernel?

Full root box AOKP? I'm not sure what that is...just flash the entire AOKP ROM. It will flash over the i9100 Fluxii, then you can download and flash the correct version.
I downloaded the root box aokp rom which is what I thought was the i777 version. I'll re-download this version when I get back home.

Are you talking about Task's AOKP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718 If so, just reflash it in recovery. Reflashing AOKP uses Task's CM9 kernel and it'll overwrite the i9100 version of Fluxii you installed.
reflashed aokp rom. now im getting numerous process errors. android keyboard has stopped working, rom control has stopped, process.android.phone has stopped. have went into CWM recovery and re-installed zip and wiped davlik data, partition data. only other thing i havent done is factory reset. i even unrooted and re-rooted to get it back. now im getting the i-9100 boot logo with the yellow triangle.
Yikes. Did you happen to make a Nandroid before flashing? If not, you may have to return to stock. You also might want to get on IRC and try to get someone to help you real-time.
i just connected it to my computer, removed the other roms that i had and some other unneeded files, like the i9100 files, did a factory reset, re-installed the rom from recovery, reinstalled gapps. so far i havent gotten any process errors. still have the i9100 boot icon but i can fix that with the triangle away from the market. sucks that rootbox isnt going to be made for i777, i checked the thread and bajee confirmed he's only doing it for the i9100 or the s3. so im s.o.l on that. is there a way to get the fluxi kernel though? or is it stuck with whatever rom ur using?

You did ask a very simple question. And the very simple answer to your very simple question is readily available in the forum stickies.
If you think flashing kernels an flashing roms are completely separate processes, you don't understand as much as you think you do. Did you know that every time you flash a rom, you flash a kernel too?
And no, I don't know everything. But having knowledge isn't the key...the key is knowing how to acquire the knowledge you need.

Hello to all...
First and foremost... I have been a long time xda site viewer and today is the first time I have registered to xda and bought the xda premium app to support this wonderful site.
I know the first rule is to search for answers, i tried searching but couldn't find it. Mine is a peculiar question that I hope can be resolved.
I have flashed my i9100 at least 50 over times. Flashing addict, you can say. Custom and stock roms. My typical routine is to do a full wipe:
1) remove sim and external sd, format usb storage under settings
2) enter cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
3) mount sd card, data, system...and format each of them
4) flash stock rom (KI3, 3 files version and repartition with. Pit). Repartition for a proper clean flash. I know some may disagree, so i have tried without it too.
5) flash cf-root, copy custom rom and perform steps 1-3 again. Except for wiping sdcard for obvious reasons.
6) flash custom rom and reboot, allowing 10 mins for software to sync in fully.
7) flash custom kernel of choice, current favourite being Neak kernel.
I have done this so many times i believe its the best to gauge the full potential of the custom rom, including battery life. I am really obsessive,. But I am patient enough.
However i just so happened to notice recently that after stock flash, i.e. After step 4 with stock kernel, i tried sliding the status bar for the brightness adjusting. To my surprise it works. Now that is not suppose to be the case. Especially after i have performed complete albeit unnecessary wipes. Someone please explain this phenomenon. Is the custom kernels 'hard encoding' our sgs2? If not is there another method of reformat that completely cleans your phone? I even tried ultimate Samsung cleaning script. Same thing.
Sorry for the long read. But I wanted to highlight this issue clearly for the experts here to discuss.

Great, but i do believe for the need for a proper kernel cleaning before installing a new kernel. As clearly illustrated by my example here. Funnily enough not many developers have picked up on this. Android is sure complicated in the hands of the experienced and noobs alike.

At least two kernel cleaners posted here for a very rarely posted problem that is usuall the user not following instructions .
Kernel cleaner is not required in normal use .
Flash kernel and it changes .
Use kernel cleaner is really to make sure none of the advanced settings remain otherwise not required and i would only use if changing custom kernels .My kernel count must be over 200 by now .
Android is sure complicated in the hands of the experienced and noobs alike.
Yep what is required is more FAQS and Guides for nobody to read .
jje
I thought so too, i normally use kernel cleaning scripts when i change roms or kernels. It's just that, sometimes i do not cause not many people here seem to talk about it.
I have yet to try it and reconfirm this theory of needing kernel cleaning scripts before flashing new roms with different kernels. Once I try it out, soon, i will post again. Then i think, developers out there should pick this up as part of their recommended steps for a full wipe or rather clean flash of a new kernel, esp if changing kernel.
Keep you guys posted... Thanks jje

Hi guys,
Just to update anyone who has been reading this previously...
I have just reflashed to stock xwla4, the frankenstein version, i.e, stock kernel. With clean wipe/format, whatever you wanna call it, and still same results. Old kernel behaviour still present, i.e. Brightness adjustment via sliding status bar still present. I even reflashed a good 3 times with same stock rom, xwla4 (2times) and ki3. Also before each flash i also used ultimate Samsung cleaning script and the gblitz version. Still same issue. Can someone explain what is happening?
In case you are wondering, this is not a complaint thread but a hobby for to troubleshoot problems with our dear sgs2. So that we can all learn.

I'm a bit at a loss... why are you are NOT expecting this? I am on stock XXKI3 (2.3.5), and have never flashed anything newer, or a custom ROM. I've always had this behavior of adjusting the brightness via the status bar. As far as I know, I had it when I was on XWKE7 (2.3.3) as well.

I just bought a used galaxy s2 I love the phone already. I had the samsung infuse before, and I loved the cm7 nightly builds on that phone, but had to upgrade You all know how that is haha.... I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505172 to root and then had to unlock seeing as I am on rogers.... First thing I have to say is that every time I boot up I see the triangle with the ! in it so I might have done the wrong one? It said before i had the i9000m btw. And I installed CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 as the kernel
Another thing I might as is that when I tried to open odin 1.85, it would say Odin.ini with a bunch of sqaures, i press ok and it closes.... So i just used 1.83.
Last thing is who do I go into cwm recovery, and I want to go on a cyanogen mod 7 or 9.... Should I try cm9? And how would I do that?
THANKS!
Hope everyone here is more helpful than on the infuse sometimes
the yellow triangle is always there when you boot it cause you rooted it.. but gladly, you can remove it with a usb jig (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udzMQ_dsci4) or without usb jig (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOXNf_kH-iA)
I highly suggest skipping CM9 and giving Resurrection Remix a try. Also learn to live with the yellow triangle and forget the CF kernels. I use Siyah kernel and there are other alternatives just as good.
I've tried almost every rom and kernal for S2 and I truly believe RR and Siyah is the best performing combo of them all.

Thanks I will trythat now, but how do I do that? I sent you a message
If you don't have a usb jig to reset the flash counter and remove the triangle on boot up try chainfire's TriangleAway app either found on the play store(paid) or in his thread here on xda(free). Make sure you are running an ICS rom.

Sorry I meant how do I do the siyah and rr thing but thanks
I received your message. All the info you will need is right here on XDA already. When you rooted your phone you probably installed CWM recovery (press home, volume up and power buttons to boot into it). Assuming you have that you can just follow the steps in the RR thread to install. It already comes with Siyah Kernel so you can simply flash the latest version to keep it updated. I used odin to flash a modem firmware for Canadian networks but that's optional since the stock base band in rr worked fine.

So that means all I do is flash rr from cwm and clear that bs stuff and I'm good to go?

Its simple as that Just follow the extended steps in the faq of the rr thread and remember to make backups in cwm in case you make mistakes and need to try again.

if u need to do a factory reset/full wipe in the process of intalling the new rom
all apps and data will be deleted
so its convenient to make backup important things like your apps, sms, or call log
not compusory though
backup apps using Titanium backup,there are free and paid version

I came across this problem before and the solution was to just reflash aokp. I believe the logic was, siya was not compatable to open the package or something and needed cwm. However I can't find a flashable zip of cwm default kernal and I do not have a computer to access for Odin at the moment. Someone please, point me in the right direction...

I would use Heimdall to flash if possable also i would flash Siyah's new kernel also check the md5 to verify the rom you are trying to flash sometimes during download things get goofed after that make sure you wipe everything data/cache/dalvik and then try flashing your rom
You're trying to say yer getting the status 7 error. I think that's what I've gathered. Just do the same thing you did before, if u happen to have Tasks 7.3 version available flash that. It's a build. Prop problem with your phone showing a different model number than i777 because you are /were on a ported rom with i9100 showing as the model number. Flashing this version of tasks rom sets your build. Prop back to i777. U could actually use any rom that is based on i777 firmware although they may have scripts to check if your current build. Prop is i777 or not and may not let u flash it. The 7.3 version of tasks AOKP has those script asserts removed and it doesn't check what yer running which makes it great for situations like this. U can download tasks 7.3 AOKP by googling dev.host task AOKP I think. I haven't tried but someone said it's still up there. Or I could be completely wrong and status 7 error isn't what yer getting. In which case ignore this wall of text and go about your day. Lol,

This problem has been occurring for a long time now. And has nothing to do with your version of cwm. It has to do with the script IN THE ROM YOU ARE FLASHING. If it has the script in the rom to check what phone model u have, and it detects something other than what it should, it basically says "hey! This guy doesn't have our phone! Stopppp!" And won't let u flash. Status 7 error. To fix this, either manually remove the script that checks for this in the rom yer flashing, modify the build.prop in the rom yer currently ON to reflect the model number of the rom u want to flash, or flash another rom that already has this script checking removed to get your build.prop to reflect the new model number u want it to show. Either way none of it has to do with your version of cwm.

You had a different issue then. most likely just a corrupt recovery. as there are NO problems flashing from one version of CWM to the next.
The common status 7 error, is caused by the updater.script searching the build.prop. as stated a million times in almost every thread.
This may be a really stupid question but I'm still learning
So after soft bricking my phone once today already I have now backed everything up so I don't have to redo everything when I undoubtedly mess something up again

Hi, firstly if I was you I would read all of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827635. This will explain about the dangers etc of overclocking on our specific device. Then, do you have a custom recovery installed? Like CWM? If you do and if you understand all the risks associated with overclocking, then you would look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 This is siyha kernel, I trust this developer a lot, I have used his kernels ever since he first released one for the galaxy s2 a couple of years ago. You should read the full OP, and if you feel you are ready you just download the appropriate kernel zip, as in make sure it is for the galaxy s3. Also, make sure you flash the right kernel for your android version, like an ICS kernel will not work with a Jelly Bean rom and the other way round. Then simply flash it in Clockworkmod recovery and slowly and safely play around. I can't stress this enough, only play around with things after you fully understand what it is and does as overclocking can cause hardware damage. I hope this helps you

This may be a really stupid question but I'm still learning
So after soft bricking my phone once today already I have now backed everything up so I don't have to redo everything when I undoubtedly mess something up again
I'm trying to overclock my s3 but I know I can't do this on the stock kernels, do I need to install a whole custom Rom or can I just use a custom kernel. If so how would I do this? Thanks

you can either install a custom rom or just root your stock kernel. I tried siyah kernel before, it support overclocking and dualboot.

Hi, firstly if I was you I would read all of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827635. This will explain about the dangers etc of overclocking on our specific device. Then, do you have a custom recovery installed? Like CWM? If you do and if you understand all the risks associated with overclocking, then you would look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 This is siyha kernel, I trust this developer a lot, I have used his kernels ever since he first released one for the galaxy s2 a couple of years ago. You should read the full OP, and if you feel you are ready you just download the appropriate kernel zip, as in make sure it is for the galaxy s3. Also, make sure you flash the right kernel for your android version, like an ICS kernel will not work with a Jelly Bean rom and the other way round. Then simply flash it in Clockworkmod recovery and slowly and safely play around. I can't stress this enough, only play around with things after you fully understand what it is and does as overclocking can cause hardware damage. I hope this helps you

Hi thanks for all the information in you're post
I do have cwm recovery installed and I have created a android backup ready for my mistakes
What option do I use from within cwm? Is it the one that says install from zip or something? Thanks again

Download Siyah kernel, the latest 1.7rc then flash it using Odin. Then you're good to go. Just read in general section. There's a guide by bala on how to OC/UV.

What is a Cubed Kernel? Is it the one that came with Droid DNA? I see version 2.4.2 floating around. Mine is 3.4.10.
What is the main advantage of flashing a new version of kernel?

You have to have a rooted phone to flash kernels. The Cubed kernel is a modified kernel for root users that gives you the ability to overclock your phone, better battery life and such. It is not the one that came with the DNA, the DNA is the stock kernel from the factory. Don't go by the numbers you see because they are 2 totally different kernels for totally different reasons...

I did root my phone through a very convoluted method involving imei numbers etc. I flashed the boot.ini and the cubed kernel yesterday and was able to verify it. I did not reset factory or anything when I flashed the kernel. Now it has restarted by itself for more than 50 times in 12 hours. I am trying to find the stock kernel.
Have anyone faced the same issue?:crying:

I get random restarts as well on Cubed Kernel - untouched, didnt even change the governors. I guess a lot more optimizing needs to be done to it to support the variations in our devices.

it does, and I request on behalf of the Dev, to post in the kernel thread, with logs, and kmsg. this is the only way we can figure out the bugs,
more people who post, the quicker issues are found.

I was able to flash cubed kernel, but the phone keeps restarting often. Also it shuts down and when I try to start, all keys keep blinking for a while and then starts. I can provide loss and kmsgs of someone points me to how to do it and if I can share my Dropbox link.
Please help, also I am on the kang bang rom.

Problem with cubed kernel

Not able to post to the kernel thread as I don't have 10 posts. Not sure how to submit kmsgs and logs to the developer. The restarts are killing my phone. If someone knows how to go back to the stock kernel please help.

This is the stock kernel but just modified to be able to write to the system while booted. It basically is the stock kernel and will work exactly like the stock kernel does. To switch kernels, just do what you did before when you installed the kernel you're on now. Just make sure you flash the correct module zip in recovery after you flash it.

Does that mean that if we don't flash a cubed Kernel, we won't be able to flash for example a modefied or themed apk or framework.apk to our DNA ?
