@eddie, They dont light up, but sometimes the buttons go AWOL and I must turn on the lights for them to work again. Unfortunately I like the look of the White I9100G without the lights, it looks cleaner and less fussy.

*EDIT: Can you downgrade your firmware back to DZKJ2 after updating to newest one?

I think we can flash those rooted kernel with new update DZKJ3 to set SU access but that will add our Binary counter.

It seems the only way to root this firmware is by flashing custom kernel that will increase binary count.. sad.gif

Eh guys, is battery life good (idle 1-2% for 8 hours) with Superatmos kernel v2.0 and SuperROM 2.0? Last time i try superatmos kernel 2.0 very bad, so now use back v1.1 only.

Do you think the backup files from Titanum Backup work? I got them in my PC if you are interested. it is the stock camera from DZKJ2.

So you just flashed the kernel after updating through Kies? Could try this out. By the way, any early indication of battery life?

You just need to flash a rooted kernel ie: Superatmos or MyGKernel. It will add your binary count and could void your warranty. Asking sifus here, if I flash a stock kernel through kTool after flashing a modded kernel, will I still have SU permissions?

Another little problem I am facing now is that the bootanimation.zip file that I put into the Superatmos folder in the root of /sdcard automaticly disappear after I flashed the original kernel through ktool. Now my boot animation is a blank screen..

Flash ROM must use CWM. Put your ROM .zip file into your /sdcard and flash it through CWM. CWM can be accessed by pressing vol+, home, power buttons and releasing the power button when the screen with "Samsung Galaxy S II" appears.

Now I sort of fixed it since my phone is actually stuck in download mode. I think the USB connection between my phone and my computer somehow got messed up. I flashed the stock ROM back in and it seems to work now.

If you buy it from the market it should work without doing anything. If you sideloaded it then you need to have the correct .apk file verison.
