Suggestion - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

You may have a running app on your background. If you're on stock, you can try speedmod.

[Q] Query : Kernals and Voodoo Louder

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.
Swyping from my GT-I9100 via Tt
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

Thanks for the reply
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.

[Q] How to flash the SiyahKernel

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:
CF-Root-SGS2_BU_VOD_LPC-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Thx for your reply's

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

[Q] How do I work out which CF-Root version to install on my CM9?

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?

siyah + ICS 4.0.4 problems help needed

Hi all, and thanks for reading this tread,
I have some issues and I'm hoping someone here could help shed some light on.
I was on ICS 4.0.3 and avoiding 4.0.4 due to brickbug issues. but I guess I couln't resist anymore and decided to give it a try. I tried to stay far away from buggy kernel so I used mobile odin to flash I9100XWLPT plus siyah 3.5.2 on one go
the result was a failure however, kernel flashed but firmware wiped (S2 logo was appearing but nothing else / softbrick ?).
Then I said oh well its not (hard)bricked or anything so I decided to use odin to flash I9100XWLPT, than siyah. It went ok but I lost mtp connectivity, tried s3 ported ui... didn't fly as well . Maybe something wrong with siyah 3.5.2 I thought, so tried an older siyah which I did not have an issue with h4.0.3. Situation did not improve however.
Then I flashed my old 4.0.3 and wiped, all ok mtp ok, upgraded to 4.0.4, all go, mtp ok.
Flashed siyah 3.5.2, mtp fails again. Tried android's own factory reset (not the on the boot menu, one on the personalization menu). Ended up with soft brick again (no boot only charging animation and odin mode). Flashed 4.0.4 again.
But this trial and eror process is going more dangerous by the minute I guess, so I decided to ask for support.
Do I do anything wrong? I want to upgrade to 4.0.4 everything as close as possible to stock, plus root and tocuhwiz from s3. its not too much to ask I guess.
Any suggestions and any explanations are very welcome also,
I'll thank any useful comments
kind regards,
I have 4.0.4 since 4th July with its stock kernel and it works perfectly well, I upgraded from 4.0.3 but I never did any wipes just updated on top of 4.0.3 and booted the phone, rooted from chainfires CF root thread, try it that way, worked for me and still is working.

Thanks If all else fails I'll try that, but siyah is a good kernel and it seems to be more battery efficient too.
If its a problem I failed to check with siyah I can go 4.0.4 kernel way but it makes me nervous to run a buggy kernel.

Totally agree Siyah is good I used it on 4.0.3 but it seems to fail on 4.0.4 at the moment I have not actually tried the latest one so it may well be good but I am looking to upgrade to SG3 next week so just want to keep my phone going for the time being no more playing around with this one until I have my new one.
I am using LQ5 which is reported as the buggiest but I can honestly say I have not had any problems at all, battery life appears good enough to me, depends how much you use it I guess.

Thanks, pardon me if I'm being paranoid but I just read a tread about nand corruption so, this isn't something like that I assume. (Odin flash failed and left me with soft brick out of the blue). Did not notice anything about siyah 3.5.2 either so the problem may be with my phone memory.
P.S Prior sentence reads as "Please prove me wrong"
I switched to speedmod kernel, and figured siyah had MTP problems with either 4.0.4 ics or 3.5.2
I asked same questions to those kernels' respective topics & thus this tread fulled it's purpose. Thanks kindly for anyone who read & replied

You are right, go for SiyahKernel (latest) (safe -> no mmc) Flash it with Odin.
That will give you a safe kernel with Root then you can follow instruction in CM website (CM10 zip + gapps) to get a working CM10.
Search XDA for more help. There are lots of articles on this!
Same prob here..

My advice is to ask this question in the appropriate forum for your device, not the i9100 Galaxy SII forum.
Im sorry for this.. i will delete my post right away. please do understand im just new here and im not quite familiar going around forums..
