Hey guys got a question. Just picked up the phone from Bell and am trying to root it. Which kernal should I be using if I need KG2? There are 3 to choose from...

CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip


Is CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip the newest version? Your help is appreciated!

Go Launcher is a HUGE memory hog
probably better on SGS2

They're for different regions. I used XX

Thanks! That's the one I used as well. So far so good.

So I did some researching and found out that the baseband has to do with the radio.

Is there one baseband version thats better than the other? I upgraded my android version by flashing VillainRom. But baseband is not upgraded.

Mine is still the same as when I got it, I9100MUGKG2.

Not much difference I went back to kg3 after trying a bunch of new radios. Some had worse battery life and 1 even gave me no signal.

How do you change your baseband version?

I want to be able to use this theme i found. I am using villainRom 3.0 as well.

You download the appropriate cwm baseband zip. If any of you guys are planning on flashing different baseband for testing make sure you give it a few days between flashes so the phone can adjust. You may not see the benefits or downfall immediately after flashing.

Anybody get instances where their phone isnt going into deep sleep mode?
Looked at my cpu spy just now and it says almost 7 hours at 200 mhz, and only about 15 mins in deep sleep

The phone doesn't deep sleep when it's on the charger.

true that. leave ur phone unplugged and dont use it for awhile and see if deep sleep counter changes.

This happened before on flight mode actually. This past weekend I went to bellevue and took it off the charger just before I went to sleep. Put it on flight mode, when I woke up 9 hours later it had dropped 10%, so I checked CPU spy, it showed alot of activity at 500mhz and 800mhz:suspicious:

Which Kernel are you using? I had a similar problem when I flashed Siyah kernel for a day.
It's probably some settings that you have to play with. I was too lazy to play around with the governors and stuff so I just flashed back to CF-root kernel and it was fine after that.

Hmm I'm on Siyah kernel 2.1.1 so far so good. Most of the time my phone is either deep sleep or at 200mhz. I've reset my CPUSpy stats and will see what happens.

My rooted S2 suddenly is not able to use the data network. Was working fine last night, put it on charger over night.. when I woke up my internet isn't working. I've turned data packet on, off , restarted my phone and still isn't working. Anyone know why? :(

^ That happened to me once, but it was working fine after I turned on Wifi for awhile, then turned it off.

So has anybody been able to find some info on what those faint vertical lines are that plague the galaxy s2 screens? Ill admit they are super hard to see, but they're only visible on certain colors/backgrounds

Colour Banding from the samoled plus screen?

was gonna give that a try. let me know how it is :)

But is it a defect? Or is that just the way the screens are manufactured?
I'm just curious because I came across it while browsing yesterday and I didnt see a definitive answer as to what it is/what causes it

So far so good. I undervolt 75mv across the range. Using SIO/Smartass V2

I finished flashing my baseband.. and i found a theme here ( [Theme/Mod/Apk] XXKI4, XWKI8 - JKay Deluxe v12.1 - How the SGS2 should be! 2011-10-21 - xda-developers ) that i liked.. but i have problems installing..

I keep getting an error when installing and everything should be correct according to what i'm seeing. Since i flashed villainrom3.0, im using the deodexed version of it, but it's still not working.

E:Error in /sdcard/download/XXKI4_JKay_BlueCircle_delux_themeV12_1_deodexed.zi p(Status 7 )
Keeps giving me Installation aborted.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA

Villainrom 3.0 is based off ki3.

Not sure where else to put this....




Galaxy S2 Goes Underwater, Takes Call, Resurfaces Without Gasping for Air

Hey guys, I am currently running android version 2.3.4, baseband I9100XXKG1 on my Galaxy S2. It has been rooted and I upgraded the version through odin.

I have never installed a custom rom and a bit clueless about all this rom and flash stuff. Is there any guide on how to install VanillaRom on my phone that is using 2.3.4?

Thanks in advance.
