Hello Everyone,
I'm novice and received my SGSII last week. I was able to rooted with odin method. After reading review on this forum, i want to update my ROM to BeastMod 4.0 and kernel to Faux .006 but bit worried about the method.
Can someone who has above combination flash on their T-mobile SGSII phone can help me to correct steps.
My main concerns are:
1. When i flash BeastMod 4.0 ROM will it also flash synergy kernel? If yes, then how can i reflash only kernel because i want to use Faux .006 kernel.
2. If i do step#1, hoping it will wipe out all the default T-mobile factory apps, what is the best way to save all the apps and needed informations.
It might sound stupid questions but I wanted to be on safer side and dont want to crew my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Use titanium backup to backup apps+data. You can YouTube a tutorial or read around the forums here for a guide. Then boot into cwm and do a nandroid backup. Then you're ready to flash.
1. Wipe data, cache
2. Flash the ROM
3. Flash the kernel you want
4. Wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions
5. Reboot, let it sit for 10 mins
6. Reboot.
7. restore data+apps from titanium
There are better guides out there, this is more of a quick overview.

I always do the boot routine before flashing a new kernel. I think I remember reading that somewhere and ive done it ever since. Also when wiping in clockwork mod I like to format system to ensure a 100% clean flash. You could private message me if you have any questions!

I would recommend becoming very familiar with booting into cwm by the 3 button combo. This could be really important not bashing rom manager but I used to use it and when running into problems with my vibrant I found the. Button combo to boot recovery was a much better way and u also control everything u do that way ... just a heads up

I take a slightly "cleaner" approach to wiping, but similar. One thing that's missing is the "system" partition from your steps. Which is under the "Mounts and Storage" option.
I recommend wiping the "/system", "/cache" and "/data" partitions in there. (I always do each twice, to ensure full wipage)

I recommend you purchase one, but you are able to backup to your internal SD.
Not really a true "backup", but it'll work.
Just hit "backup" and it'll tell you where it's going.

Thanks and I'm familiar with this steps as i spent lot time in reading, just to get familiar before i do anything.
I thought flashing rom will wipe out everything installed on the phone currently? If that is true then how TI will able to restore data+apps.?

Before you wipe everything you use titanium to backup all your apps and data. it stores it all on your internal storage (by default I believe). After you flash the ROM, you use titanium which will auto detect the backup and allow you to restore everything.
Edit: the wipe doesn't delete the internal storage. At least when I wipe it doesn't. I'm still a noob at this stuff too

Correct.
Just be sure to backup and it doesn't matter if you screw something up or not (and by backup I mean a backup in CWM as well as Titanium) I don't even bother with Titanium.

You think BeastMod with Synergy Kernel and Juggernaut with fauxs new kernel are good combination?
On Juggernaut development thread people complaint many issue compare to BeastMod, offcourse its also new compare to Juggernaut. But i really like fauxs new kernel and dying to flash on my phone.
I haven't seen any incompatibility between BeastMod + Fauxz new kernel combination and its working flawless unless you have discovered or someone found some issue.
I'm also using beastmod 4 with faux's latest kernel (.006 r2), no problems so far

BeastMOD II 4.0 with Faux123 006 r2 kernel give me superior battery and performance. I tried Juggernaut 3.7 with Bullet kernel but battery life seem to be shorter.

I'm running AOKP and for awhile, things were working great. Then I think I must have gotten a little over-zealous with undervolting because I would boot all the way up and as soon as widgets started loading, the phone would freeze and crash.
I tried a handful of things to fix this and ended up just reflashing the AOKP ROM over the top of everything. Cool. Got everything back to normal, EXCEPT:
I now have the stock AOKP kernel (whatever that is) and no longer have the option to adjust voltage settings. When trying to flash a new kernel (I've tried franco, leankernel, and matr1x), I get the boot loop again.
I've tried uninstalling SetCPU, using the SetCPU safe mode toggle, as well as flashing the leankernel tweaks, but still no dice.
Any ideas on how to flash a new kernel? I don't mind trying different things and have a good NANDroid backup to revert back to if necessary.
had the same problem and did what you did plus additional wipe cache and installed kernel before UV was possible which is 12(still have a backup if you want ) after that I've applied 13.1(latest at that time) and everything was fine

Read up on fastboot. It will allow you to either flash a kernel+ramdisk (boot.img) or only the kernel (zImage). It also allows you to fastboot both, as in you dont need to flash the kernel to test it.
If that doesnt work, revert back to stock then reflash AOPK, then your custom kernel of choice.

Just to make sure I'm understanding this (I've only had an Android phone for a few days now), you wiped your cache, flashed an older version of a kernel, then flashed the latest version and it worked?
Which kernel was it? And yes, I would definitely be interested in the backup if you have it.

It appears he's talking about the franco kernel. You can find old versions here: http://world-of-nexus.com/download-section/category/4-franco-kernel
You're looking for franco.kernel-nightly12-120112.zip. So, wipe cache and dalvik then flash nightly12, then wipe cache and dalvik again and flash whatever kernel you want.

It worked just fine with the old Franco kernel, but as soon as I flashed one with UV, it went back to the same problem.
I'm assuming you have undervolting running at boot right? If so, disable that and set the voltage back to stock

Unfortunately, yes. I can't boot into SetCPU to disable the "Set at Boot" option. I can only boot into the OS at all if I use an old kernel that doesn't have UV enabled and also no options for it anywhere.
I used both the SetCPU safemode zip as well as placing the SetCPU_safemode file in the appropriate places and still no dice. I think this may be because I used the ROM settings to play with UV and not SetCPU.

Lol. Thats what you get for not listening to my advice: read up on fastboot.
But my guess is that you should adb shell when in recovery, browse to /system/etc/init.d/ and delete relevant script (which setcpu might have placed there), which loads uv values at boot.

Because now setcpu applies your recorded settings on top of the rom uv settings. Why use two ways of acomplishing the same thing at the same time i'll never know.

Try wiping the data from the app(s) you're using to under volt. Go to Settings, Apps, All and navigate to SetCpu, press it and choose Clear Data. Do the same for the other app. After that's done, install the kernel with UV and see if that works

I looked for information on fastboot, though 5-6 google pages, and couldn't really find how to do it. Then I searched for help with that error and still nothing.
Forgive me for being a bit of a noob, but I did try to browse that /init.d/ directory. I could get as far as /system/etc/ but when I tried init.d, it said that it couldn't cd into that directory. I'm not very familiar with the shell commands, but I used ls inside /etc/ and only say fstab and mstab. Am I doing something wrong?

Maybe try clearing the data for the "ROM Control" app, as well as setCPU, since that's what you used to uv (if I'm reading your posts correctly...)? I've never done that so I don't know if it will mess anything up or not... Other than that, I would try a full stock recovery as it seems some setting somewhere isn't getting cleared.

I should mention that as I'm trying solutions that don't work, I can do an Advanced Restore from CWM and only restore the /boot partition and everything works fine. The problem seems to be isolated there.
Is it possible to do this and still have all of my apps and settings be in place?
I have a working NANDroid backup, but not with UV options. I have a good Titanium Backup as well, if that means anything.

Is the kernel rooted? That is not normal AFAIK, you should see much more in the /etc dir. Also, what kernel/rom are you trying when you get the boot loop? I know you mentioned AOKP and franco, just double checking.

Just to clarify, which program did you use to uv, setcpu or the ROM Control menu?
If you've wiped data from all the programs you've used to under volt your only other option is most likely to start all over and perform a data, cache and dalvik cache wipe and reinstall. In the future, if you are experimenting with UV NEVER select set on boot unless you're sure the voltages are 100 percent stable. You say you have a good nandroid so restore that and reinstall the kernel (unless you had the bad UV values set).

If I've read what the OP said correctly, he has the bad UV values set in the backup somewhere. If he does a restore and then flashes a UV capable kernel he gets stuck at boot (right OP?).

What I'm thinking of doing is making a NANDroid backup now, going completely back to factory, but Advanced Restoring all of my NANDroid partitions EXCEPT for /boot, since that seems to be the one that is causing me problems. Could this work? I guess if it doesn't, I still have that NANDroid backup...
i'm planning on installing GLaDOS kernel today, and i'm currently running codename android.
if anything goes wrong, or i want to switch to another, how do i go back to the stock kernel.
Also, does a CWMR backup backup the custom kernel as well?
yes, the CWMR backups everything, including the kernel, so that would be your best bet
oh okay. so i could do a backup before i flash the kernel, and then if anything goes wrong, just restore that backup. correct?

Question, is it best to reset the kernel every time change you change it? I've had some issues with kernels and this may be the problem.
I feel like in theory there's bits and pieces of things in there that I need to clean. Haha. What's the best way to do that?

I would check /system/etc/init.d; If there are any scripts from previous kernel there, delete them through adb or prefered method.
Also, in that folder, you may find other scripts, for example voltage settings @boot from 3rd party apps like setcpu, you should also remove those (if you use them at all)
You're asking about when changing custom kernels, right? When I switch kernels, I don't reflash stock kernel first. I just flash one custom kernel on top overwriting the installed one.
Oh ok thanks man.
I've only ever set min and max cpu stuff. Never any voltage settings. So I van probably go over with no worries yeah?
So you know what the build number is for stock kernel on 4.0.3?

sorry, setting min/max cpu freq at boot time also places a script in /system/etc/init.d/, so I'd look out for those as well, forgot to specify those, as they may also cause conflicts with your current rom/next kernel. as always, you can open those scripts in a text editor and see what they're doing or will do on boot.
not sure on the release version/numbers though..my guess is that the easiest way is to repo sync 4.0.3 tag from aosp, that will have stock kernel version planned for that release.
Can someone post a CWM flashable file of the 4.0.2 kernel please.

I have no idea of CM's plans, but you can UV with any ROM as it is dependent on your kernel.
Install the kt747 kernel and after you do that you'll have an app in your app drawer called ktweaker. Go into that and under volt away.

If you are sure to DL the 4.2.1 JB version, yes it should work. I say should as I don't use CM and can't be certain you won't run into issues.

Friendly advise:
As it has been mentioned before, you should really read more on what you're about to do here. UV can make your phone unstable and if you don't know what you're doing at the first place and/or how to recover from a unstable state, you'll have a paperweight in your hands.

Fix permissions by going into advanced in clockworkrecovery, should be the last option. Don't know about your other question but you can check what kernel your running by going into settings--->about.

Every time you reinstall or update your ROM you need to reinstall your kernel of choice. This is because the ROM will have its own kernel that overwrites the one you install.
To fix permissions, you need to boot into recovery. From there it depends on your recovery software. In TWRP, you select "Advanced" and then "Fix Permissions", swipe to confirm and reboot. I forget where it is in CWM but poke around a little bit and you should be able to locate it.
I've been away from the ROM scene for a while now.
I'm still running Skynote 8.3 and the Perseus a36 kernel. I'm OC'd to 1.7ghz.
Lately, my phone just locks up, gets slow and choppy, and generally doesn't feel comfortable to use anymore.
I have Lagfix running (fstrim) nightly at 5am. I also use Clean Master to clean out my caches often.
I've tried repairing permissions, wiping cache and dalvik, nothing really helps.
Is there anything I can try to bring my phone back to life? I'm no stranger to flashing things or making tweaks.
Any ideas? I realize that development here has slowed down but I'm not in a position to upgrade to a gn3 until maybe the summer.
Thanks guys.

Development hasn't slowed down at all. It is actually increasing. For starters, you could do a full wipe because it doesn't hurt to do one of those every now and then. You could also flash the newest version of Skynote, because what you have there is several versions behind. You could also try Mean Bean, Zen's stock or steele's rom (when it is released) if you like TW based roms.
There are lots of other options as well.

Skynote 8.3 wow that's kinda old...
Yeah I'd say you been away for quite sometime now. There's a few things you can do to get back to a snappy running system. You can flash the same devs new Rom. Which is Skynote Air 4.3 go here>>

If you want a more STOCK Rom stick with the vanilla version... just follow the OP's instructions..
To get Wi-Fi working you'll need a different kernel, thread found here>>
http://goo.gl/3VvMzl
Kennel HERE>>>>>>
http://goo.gl/XTY1Dc
And here's a fully stock 4.3 build...
Go here>>> http://goo.gl/waq1wP
If you don't want to flash another kernel then you'll have to go here>>
http://goo.gl/WZ8Gy3
Step#2 is what you need!
Then you'll be up to date with a new Rom running your new 4.3[emoji106][emoji41]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.
Honestly the only reason I haven't upgraded is because I really would like to retain tuning abilities for the Wolfson chip. I wouldn't mind flashing a new kernel if I can still tune the DAC. I'm a bit of an audiophile lol.
I haven't found a current kernel with those abilities. Is there a way to enable tuning if I did flash a new kernel along with Skynote Air?

All I can say if AGNi has all that and then some btw...
And then there's Viper audio mod.

Oh cool, I didn't notice that the AGNi kernel had tuning enabled...thanks! lol
As for Viper, I've been a little interested in it. However, I tend to stray away from software based audio corrections. I tend to like a direct, unmodified stream coming out of the DAC. It does look like something I could make use of though!
So basically I can flash Skynote Air and the AGNi kernel and be done with it all with working wifi? Do I still need to do the one-click procedure through ODIN for 4.3?

Yes on your first QUESTION, to the Rom & kernel...
No to the one click for 4.3. That'll just give you the 4.3 bootloader and Knox crap...
If you just follow step#2 from the above post then you won't need a different kernel. But I like all the extra setting that comes with the AGNi control app included in the KERNEL flash.

Cool, thanks.
So basically I'm doing this then:
-TiBu backup
-Nandroid backup
-Factory Reset
-flash Skynote Air
-Boot
-Flash any updates to the ROM (there is one I believe)
-Boot
-Flash AGNi
-Profit
Of course I'll wipe cache and dalvik along the way and repair permissions before final use.

Hah I forgot!
I usually just factory reset then wipe system. Wiping internal storage will wipe away all my media though, correct?
Geez, it's been way too long...

Alright. Just updated and used the agni kernel.
So far it's a little better. It's still kind of choppy and I get some lockups once in a while. I also notice that my ram usage is quite high. It's pretty much always at 1.6gb used.
I'm not quite sure what else I can do at this point. There's gotta be something in my system slowing everything down...

Hopefully you did a clean install when you updated your system...
As far as the AGNi kernel goes. You'll have to adjust the setting to your liking. If you just flashed it and using it stock no problem. [emoji106][emoji41]
But you could change some of the setting to see if it boost anything for you...
I personally tried a few different governors until I find the one I liked!!

Messed with the governors and schedulers, cleaned out some apps, the phone is now running great!
