Thats what I thought would happen too, I hit apply and it downloaded the package, but when I booted into recovery I couldnt find the file. Anyway, I went back into the kitchen app and hit the menu button, and there was an option for browse/install and thats how I ended up installing the theme. In the end it all worked out :D

I noticed that BLN is an available mod. Which kernel will run that?

Its definitely a must download. Its not TRUE ICS, but its pretty damn close.
Not to mention is pretty snappy:fuckyea:

Are you doing this from within Recovery mode or using CWM app?
Are you backing up to the phone's internal memory or an external sd card?

I believe Siyah kernel has BLN support. Then I assume you just download the kitchenapp for BLN and configure it and it should work with the stock messenger. Not sure if it works with any third party sms apps.

Damn checkrom makes it so easy. Best rom I've used so far

been on it for awhile now...where da hell have you been?

:lawl:

Yeah, been on it since Leomar Rom before he changed the name to CheckRom.

I was on villain for the longest time :okay:

I am doing this from recovery mode ( shut off phone, hold home, power and volume up). I am backing up in the internal memory. Can i back this up via external sd card as well? Whats a better way?

It worked well though :P

wow checkrom is actually really boss LOL thx gaaaaais

Are you guys running checkrom and the dark knight kernel together?? Which one do you flash first? And do you flash the kernel just like the rom in recovery?

I'm running checkrom with siyah 2.6.2.
Flash checkrom first, then download the kernel pack from kitchenpro (included with checkrom)

I installed everything using kitchenpro. If you use the browse/install option like I did, it basically reboots automatically into CWM recovery mode and installs what you selected.

Oh I see it's all in checkrom already thanks!

I did checkrom then dark Knight after.

litening rom for me before the guy just totally went MIA without saying a word :seriously:

kind of a blessing in disguise really because otherwise I wouldn't have moved on and discovered CheckROM:fuckyea:

ics domination theme on kitchen app is not the latest one i think.

I updated to 1.7 perfectly fine on top of 1.6

anyone know if its possible to get the screen to light up when you get a msg on whatsapp? All i get right now is a sound alert.
Posted via RS Mobile

Install noled. It'll light up the screen with some dots for notifications. Most of us used bln. Lights up the softkeys when a message comes in. Although you need a customer kernel for that.

Hey guys, I just received a SGS2 for xmas. Its my first android phone and I'm trying to root it. Just have a question regarding the kernels. My Kernel is ZSKI3. I'm at the xda site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103399) and i noticed that there are two zip files that match my phone, one says unsecured. Does it matter which one I should use in Odin? Also i'm not sure if its my computer, but when i unzip the kernels downloaded from the site using winzip OR winrar, the extracted file still shows another zipped file. Will this be ok to load onto Odin? I've seen some online youtube tutorials and it seems that people can actually get the .tar file icon after extracting?

link doesn't work

Dammit.. im still on Villain.. kinda lazy to change, but is checkrom worth the switch?

and how do i get the kitchen app with it?

it comes with the rom when you install it.

Sorry

So why do you guys really upgrade to a custom firmware on the sgsII? I mean I had a sgsI (i9000m) for a year and a half. I probably changed rom's on a biweekly bases with that... but I just picked up a i9100m on boxing day and fuck is it fast. I can't imagine it being much faster.. and the battery life is way better then I've expected. I've been working a night last night, had my phone off the charger for just over 12 hours now and still have 80% left! and that's with 3g on .. some light usage.. gps, couple phone calls, texts and about 10 mins of gaming. I've installed a CF-ROOT KG2 kernel and used titanium backup to freeze/uninstall most of bloatware.. the only thing I kinda miss is BLN.. but other then that I really have no complaints against the samsung provider firmware..

plus this this whole kernel counter / samsung catching on to the jig usage thing is kind of sketchy. why can't they just let us play with our phones?

so really what I'm saying is convince me. is the battery life really going to get better then a 20% drop in 12 hours? can this phone actually get noticably faster?

cheers and happy new year!
