I would like to add something that apparently no one think about and it's because of this reasoning that i found the trick about memory usage for the doomlord method. Before complaining about battery drain, you guys should take a look at your standard use memory usage, each widget launch a background process that eats memory, and this can go quite high, for now i'm still running zcki1, okd stock rom, but i keep my phone under control, only a few usefull widgets, and i try to keep a memory usage under 400mb. The more memory it uses, the less battery will last.
I tried some memory managers, but gingerbread memory management doesn't really need those, i simply kill process that i do not beed when i start the phone. This way i am able to stay up to 2 days without the need to recharge. Creezalird and other experienced guys might confirm, but i am really doubtfull that a different kernel changes anything on that, in my opinion, everything on battery life is tied to what process you actually do run ... Different kernel can change the way memory manager handles process memory usage, but not how many process you run. That's just my 2 cents, but i feel that's kind of wrong to put the fault on a kernel for a battery "drain".
*
kernel also can introduce much2 better governor, for example, default hotplug in LA1 is much battery friendly compared to in KJ2. maybe it is because of "Made in Germany" lols..

After successfully rooted with doomlord.. I found that the battery drain REALLY fast!!. I dono is it becos of the root, or is the go launchers apps that i downloaded.

this morning 8am charged 100%, now at 10am (didn't even use the phone, only on bluetooth when driving to work), the battery now left 50%!! no data, no gps, nothing!!

anybody facing this problem?
*
too many possibilities, either u have not clear everything properly after flashed before, or u are running too many apps, and lastly, u are too anxious of knowing the battery life and without u knew, u are unlocking the screen for about every 10-20min. it happened okay, and we dont even notice it. smile.gif

lastly, give it a day or two, sometimes the battery calibration is still in process after u flashed new rom

rooting process will not introduce battery drain. it is the apps that u installed afterwards could introduce battery drain.

Wow,just realized that you've update your guide,looking sleek and nice man!

Well,I would try flashing using phone,if only I have money to buy Mobile Odin Pro. Using Everrot enables root even after flashing right? Well,too bad I don't have any means to get Pro Odin.  sweat.gif

money? what is that? lols...i am not paying mine too tongue.gif

yeah i just thought no harm in doing it.hehe i used 2 methods.

switched off phone and full charge. remove battery 180secs. and put it back in switch on.

and also using the batterycalliberation app.

didnt notice any changes after doing it.

will need to google on that rom bro, cause im still new to all this and it seems rooting is just the beginning.

now im reading on this thunderbolt script..and try to learn more and more
*
actually the method 180sec might work as it is mentioned to be useful for sgs2.

and once i read, but forgot already, there is actually a way to calibrate by deleting a file but i forgot which file, it is not the batterystats.bin, this one usually for htc phones or older samsung.

keep on learning man, maybe u can become the next dev for i9100g, we are really2 lacking of dev here. smile.gif

Is this Germany LA1 got any issue on displaying Chinese character? or missing Chinese input keyboard?
*
i am not sure about chinese character, maybe yes, as it is europe version and as far as i see from system, not dedicated keyboard apk for chinese. but i think u can easily extract keyboard apk from any asian rom and use it, but character support, maybe not so easy..

i just checked, no chinese support , only korean, russian, english bla bla..

hi creezalird,

I downloaded your pdf and now thinking to flash it with Superatmos.

one question, I rooted with doomLord previously and my phone is KJ2. In the XDA forum for Superatmos, there are two download link,

v2.2: BASED ON JPKK1
v2.1: BASED ON DZKL3

Can I use v2.1, which is based on DZKL3 is it compatible with my phone which is in DZKJ2?
*
when flashing firmware, there is not such thing as u must use same firmware as u are running right now.

because flashing custom firmware is just like flashing new or update firmware.

does not matter which version.

so yes, u can use any version of custom rom, besides it is recommended to do full wipe anyway, so any bugs from old firmware will not be there.

u can easily extract stock kernel from the rom file itself. just open using something like 7zip

And by the way guys, good news is I9100G ICS update has been confirmed to be planned, developpement has been started, only no release date at the moment.
I'll use one old thing to say that, think it was for quake or something like that :
"When it's done !"


Added on March 1, 2012, 12:49 am
Creezalird, just to make sure it's ok with you, i spreaded your guide on a dedicated galaxy s2 french forum, do you mind if i translate it into french ? You'll keep the credit for the writing, don't worry, just that they are kind of late on I9100G information, and it hurt my eyes to see people flashing insecure kernel to remove yellow triangle and so on ...
*
yeah,sure, why not, if u want the guide to be on my dropbox also can, just send it to me first and i will upload it to my dropbox.

Hi there,

I have finished rooting my I9100G KJ2 and it has been rooted as i am using the DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit 4.

After that, i follow the guides and i flash the kernel to have the CWM. The kernel i used was the zImage from superatmos v2.2.

Now, i lost my root and i cant do any backup anymore. I wish to backup using titanium backup and also i wanted to use CWM.

What should i do now? Only thing i can think of is:
1. Download the KJ2 original firmware
2. Flash the zImage found inside the firmware
3. Re-root again

Is this workable?

Thanks for your help here.
*
as u are still on KJ2 rom, just try root it with doomlord again..how can u lose root as superatmos 2.2 should give u that, but i am not sure too, maybe that 2.2 has bugs..that is why in my guide i said use 2.1

now just try reroot it before flashing again..

but if it does not work, ur steps can also be considered.

work or not, up to you, theoritically yes.

hi...i have few questions...according to creezalird guide...the way to remove yellow triangle is to use ktool n flash samsung stock kernel..

1)do we have to live with the yellow triangle if we want to use the rooted kernel say superatmos kernel?coz flashing samsung stock kernel to remove the triangle will overwrite the superatmos kernel rite?

2)does removing the binary count (mahadir guide) will also remove the yellow triangle?
*
QUOTE(kldoc @ Mar 2 2012, 02:09 AM)
Mmm, yellow triangle is because of non official kernel.
Removing binary counter would only reset this one ...
I might be wrong, but i guess it's a 2 steps way to remove both ...
*
both of you a little bit on the wrong path, maybe my guide is not very clear.

usb jig is like the ultimate resetter, it can clear binary counter and also yellow triangle, but it need old bootloader to be working.

dante10, the steps to remove yellow triangle from my guide, if u understand it properly, the last result will get u back on the superatmos kernel

example : now on superatmos, u dump using ktool, then u flash stock kernel using odin, then u reflash the dumped superatmos before, so right now u are back to superatmos but without yellow triangle. but still with binary counter as it can only be removed using usb jig.

ya ya i dun really understand that part..but now its all clear....thanks 2 u creezalird...im rooted now..but it seems i have a lil problem...ive use the superatmos kernel 2.1.1(superatmos said its dzkl3 version of v3.0)...when i check at kernel version  its unchange..it should change to somethg else rite?..superuser is installed as well as the cwm app..when i try to reboot into CWM it goes into the stock recovery...no CWM...should i just use the V3.0 instead?
*
really? maybe u should report it back to superatmos. maybe he forgot to include or forgot to call the script.

btw u can just try 3.0 also, it is better in my opinion and CWM worked, just backed up my rom in few minutes.

version should not be changing as he only modded the initramfs i think, not build from sources, u can just ignore the version.

Creezalird, i'm a little surprised here, i thought you could flash superatmos through CWM ?
This post on this forum talks bout the file support :
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-interna...rnel-files.html
*
i am kind of not understand ur surprise here.

yes, we can flash kernel using various methods,

using odin, need in tar file (from ubuntu easily to make, from windows can be made using izarc, tar with no compression)
using cwm, in zip file (needs updater-script)
using ktool/cwm app/mobile odin pro, in zImage file (need rooted access)

so the problem is?

You just told the guy that he needed to flash superom with Odin, and i was more advising to flash it with CWM to avoid binary counter increase, correct me if i'm wrong, but with CWM you do not increase binary counter ...? Or i don't get the point going through CWM ...

me? superrom? i thought i never advised anyone on installing custom rom as i dont even use it myself

are u talking about superrom or superatmos kernel?it is different thing

My bad, in my answer i did confound both, superatmos kernel and superrom.
But still, i thought that flashing superatmos kernel and superrom through CWM could avoid the binary counter increase, apparently i was wrong on the kernel part ? Or maybe it is the contrary, i'm a bit lost on this ^^
*
using cwm should be a safe bet for binary increase
much safer to use app like mobile odin pro or cwm manager

theoritically using cwm should be safe, but i heard one case someone reported that his binary got increased, which i suspected actually he did something else and didnt realize it.

should be enough, but to be safe, better at least around 40-50.

just turn it off and charge it for a while. should be ok

just read some ur comment from fb... try using charger.. not usb cable..

but if anyhow, 20% battery should be enoug too, kernel just a small flashing procedure
