QUOTE(shadowlove @ Jan 16 2012, 12:50 PM) Is the RC8 better than stock rom?  By the way does it have chinese language ? Too bad it doesn't have chinese but then you can always download the chinese plugin for locale and google pinyin IME for chinese input (have to switch around so a bit mafan  ) but other than that it's quite smooth and better than stock rom (in my opinion though). Alternatively you can always apply patches instead of using custom ROM but I never tried that before

QUOTE(shadowlove @ Jan 16 2012, 03:13 PM) Ya using stock room  Is it possible? HAhahaha Well yeah I guess. Which version of rom you're using? I suggest you use ZSKP6 or ZSKP7 though as what sakindia (the dev of cranium rom) suggested  but apparently ian_9 did it without flashing to ZSKP6 or ZSKP7 first. Just make sure you backup your phone first before flashing in case anything happen  Just go to recovery mode (Volume up + Power Button until samsung logo shows up for like 2-3 sec and release) and backup.

QUOTE(faidz85 @ Jan 16 2012, 03:35 PM) A question, can I just follow your guide 100% to get Cranium flashed? I mean do I need to root or prepare the phone with anything? I am using the ori 2.3.5 stock rom and am very new to android. Also, what will happen to my application data, whatsapp messages, and everything? What can I do to back them up? I heard that google sync takes care of taht but am not sure how. Well, you can but just make sure how it actually works before you started to flash though. Just ask me if you didn't understand what I've wrote there.  For backup up app and data, you may refer to this link. I haven't tried before though since I didn't really care bout backing up my whatsapp and line history  Titanium backup seems good though, can give it a try. You need to root your phone to use the app though. The guide on how to root can be found in my previous post. This post has been edited by mccy118: Jan 16 2012, 03:58 PM

QUOTE(shadowlove @ Jan 16 2012, 07:37 PM) My total score only 3738 from antutu benchmark. Why is it so low T_T. i used SKP7 roms, 12.Feadmod recovery, RC8,replace the graphic driver, and Universal Adrenaline Shot v13. whats is the normal score? Well, some times I get 37xx also but max is 39xx though. After check the log and everything, the Device I/O is the one affecting the scores though.  but then it's quite smooth compared to stock rom so I don't really care that much

QUOTE(shadowlove @ Jan 16 2012, 07:47 PM) Oh i see, i also felt that it is smoother compare to stock. That's the most important part LOL.Thanks you so much. It is really nice to have you at our S+ family. You are such a nice person :)Thanks No problem at all  Glad that I can help. QUOTE(ian_9 @ Jan 16 2012, 07:51 PM) Which stock rom to flash back to if I want to send for warranty? Any Asian one from this page? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346245 Only 2.3.6 seems to have Asian ones and so many. :S And what's the point of flashing stock rom (ZSKP6) before flashing Cranium like you said?? Btw, how come my kernel is '2.6.35.7 - FeaCore_Phoenix mischu@breath1' or something like that lol. Shouldn't it be Cranium? Sorry for all the questions..  Edit: I got 4591 with Antutu benchmark.. o_o Which version of FeaMod you flashed with? Did you flashed FeaMod after you flashed RC8 though? Well, the latest update available via Kies is DXKJ2 so I think it'll be better to flash to that one better sending back for warranty though This post has been edited by mccy118: Jan 16 2012, 08:04 PM

QUOTE(ian_9 @ Jan 16 2012, 08:05 PM) Okay. I flashed feamod 1.2 before flashing cranium but updated to feamod 1.4 after that. Also, I had some weird bug in RC8 like no status bar so I flashed to cranium rc7 (i dunno why lol) Download ZSKP7 now and going to flash to that and to RC8. Having battery issues in RC7.  are you experiencing any bugs on rc8? So far no problem though. Ahhh, no wonder. You downloaded FeaMod 1.4 with OC kernel which replaces the RC8 kernel  no wonder your scores are that high up  Well, some times if you drag the screen (in the middle of no where) the status bar will be gone. Just rotate the screen and rotate back and it'll appear again This post has been edited by mccy118: Jan 16 2012, 08:09 PM

QUOTE(shadowlove @ Jan 16 2012, 08:18 PM) mccy118 is the FeaMod 1.4 with OC kernel dangerous, u tried b4? "WARNING: Applying the FeaMod Recovery with the FeaCore_OC/UV kernel is dangerous and may brick your phone. In any case it will drain your battery faster when running on 1.8 GHz all the time. Only install it when you know what you are doing! Otherwise install a package without a OC/UV supporting kernel." source : XDA-Developers FeaMod ThreadI didn't try it out when I saw the above statement from the FeaMod thread though.  If you wanted to OC, you can change your kernel to Cranium Kernel V6 which is stable and there's no problem so far.  but I saw most of them used no-frills to hold the clock at 1.4GHz.

QUOTE(ian_9 @ Jan 16 2012, 08:34 PM) How do I change kernel? Maybe that's why I'm getting bad battery life lol. If I change kernel will I still have FeaMod recovery? You'll still get to keep your FeaMod since it's not a kernel to begin with. "Instructions- *Place the .zip in your Sd card. *Go into recovery mode(U must have FeaMod Recovery to use this!) *Flash the zip. Pretty easy,huhh?" source : Cranium Kernel V6You can get the Cranium kernel v6 from the link above as well  *Update* well, that much be feacore (kernel) without OC/UV then. hmm...well, my battery life so far so good though.

QUOTE(shadowlove @ Jan 16 2012, 08:52 PM) Found one problem with C8@@ The notification is too black. Cant see anything @@ Well, I think that it's okay though. (Picture under spoiler tag) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(annoymous1234 @ Jan 16 2012, 08:55 PM) nah.. nothing will happen except the phone will heat up fast if it runs at 1.8 all the time. if u're using custom kernal better to use no frills or set cpu to monitor the frequency that the kernal is running. some like cranium kernal set 1.9 as default frequency so when the phone needs power it will run at 1.9 which will consume battery faster and phone gets warmer.. Well, some of them said that after OC their battery life increased though.  There's no harm to OC but then I'm not sure about FeaCore. This post has been edited by mccy118: Jan 16 2012, 09:01 PM

Just make sure you root your phone though =P Download "Screenshot Capture Shortcut Free" from market and you'll be able to take screenshot  Enable the "Capture from notification" for easy access  You can also set the time delay for the screenshot to be taken.

QUOTE(nudin89 @ Jan 17 2012, 01:11 AM) Help Needed! After i install FeaMod Recovery 1.2 My phone work not really okay.. Speaker cant use and when i make a call, i cant hear anything including when i use earphone also cant hear anything.Got idea why this is happen?  Edit: Currently re-flashing to stock ROM.Hope phone is okay and CWM caused my phone to go crazy not any hardware involved. That's weird, you're using Odin to flash right? Before flash got remove external SD card and sim card? Did you use AriesVE.ops as the OPS selection and tick the one package while choosing feamod 1.2 as your one package? and also did you enter download mode and waited till the "waiting to reboot" appears at Odin there before you unplug your phone?

QUOTE(nudin89 @ Jan 17 2012, 07:18 AM) Relief that hardware is still okay. I flashed back to stock rom and everything back to normal. As per your question, i did all as what u said, except remove sim card  . I flash FeaMod as per instruction on page one and there, nothing said about to remove sim card or sd card before flash FeaMod. Huuuhh...luckily can fix that with re-flashing my rom..Pheeewww...  Hmm...which instructions you followed though? If you followed the one in FeaMod thread, that one is some how confusing  QUOTE(faidz85 @ Jan 17 2012, 09:10 AM) @mccy118 How much better is the battery life for cranium? ANd which clock speed you downloaded? Well, I'll say it's better than stock rom for me. Still depends on how you use it though. I'm using the kernel which comes with RC8 and the clock speed is at 1.4GHz. This post has been edited by mccy118: Jan 17 2012, 11:21 AM
