Hi People I have a Problem that should be easy to solve for most of you ^^.
I have a rootet Galaxy S2 with the following rom on it:
.galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-roms/darky-ics-rom-for-rooted-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-xxlpqofficial-ota/
My Device is running
Android Version: 4.0.3 (Official Samsung Firmware)
BaseBand: I9100xxlph
Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100xxlph-cl118559 [email protected] #3
build: lidroid-resurrection remix ics 9.6 by westcripro.build.version.incremental=xxlph
everything is working fine execpt the batterylife.
in my opinion the last rom (stock) was way better.
so my question is: is there any kernel that matches the rom i am actually using that increases the batterylife ?
at "normal" use my batt is loosing power very fast.
-no gps on
-display turned down
-wifi is not running
i am very new to those things. its my first xp with rooting and modding.
help would be nice.
Chainfire has a CF-root for LPQ. Maybe try that and have a mess about with the voltages?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Acording to your device info your on LPH and thats a BETA firmware.Your battery wont get any better until you are running the official release LPQ firmware which has increased quite a lot the battery life in my opinion.Flash the LPQ firmware and an LPQ based custom ROM.

Hi all,
Sorry if this is kind of double post ( I have been advised to post it in this section)
Firstly I am a complete newbie so any step by step guide , pointer to the correct link or direction is so much appreciated.
My situation is:
I have SGS2 with:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version : 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100xxKG1
Kernel 2.6..35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136
Build number : GingerBread ZSKG2
1. I want to try either Litening Rom 6.1 or Darky ROM.
* Is this the correct Link to follow?
Darky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1159920
Litening : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1095274
** Do I need to root the phone before installing the Litening ROM? or can I go ahead with my current spec and flash it with Litening ROM via ODIN?
2. I want to preserve my Current state of my Device before flashing with Darky or Litening.
* Is it possible to back up everything so I can return it to the way it is for Warranty purposes?
* or is it not possible to put back when we installed Darky or Litening?
3. Which one do you recommend Darky or Litening? - which one is less bug at this stage?
I am hoping that by flashing with the custom rom, it will make the device
- faster more efficient
- still able to get good GPS signal (or better)
- Good Wifi reception (or better)
- Good battery life (or better than now)
Please let me know if this is a false hope?
Thanks guys - sorry for the very basic questions.
Regards,
I am wondering if anyone else has experience the same process and would like to share their tips .
Thanks again guys

First its your own choose for a ROM.
But if you will Litening rom you must flash it with Odin.
For Darky ROM: I dont know.
For a better battery life check this thread.
Speedmod is the best battery kernel.
Your device is not very faster but a little bit.
I dont know about wifi and gps.
P.S I dont have a rooted SGS2
I found this link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
is this the one I need to follow?
Do I need to install speedmod or CWM separately if I want to install Litening ROM?
can I directly flash directly from :
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version : 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100xxKG1
Kernel 2.6..35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136
Build number : GingerBread ZSKG2
to Litening ROM 6.1??
Thanks again
Yes, you can.
Litening rom will be a bit faster than Darky rom because litening will have already a overclocked frequency to 1.6Ghz with it.
Every custom rom build using stock like Darky & Litening & Villian will provide more stable system than Cyanogen, MIUI & AOSP roms. That's what I've experienced.
Problems that you may faced after flashing custom are it may has bootloop, stuck on splash screen. If you got a bootloop, try flash it again, sometimes it needs to flash twice. If splash screen never pass then do a full wipe in CMW, wipe user data, partition, wipe delvik.
Hi guys,
Can I install : speedmod-kernel-s2-k1-t38.tar - [Click for QR Code]?
On my :
SGSII (2.3.4)
(Which I believe still stock ROM)
BaseBand : xxKG1
Kernel: XXKG6
Build GingerBread: XXKG6
I am in Australia and I am wondering if this is going to be suitable for my phone.
I am thinking of flashing with the Speedmod hoping that I will get stability and also good battery life (with speed if possible).
with installing the speedmod - will I get what I hope to get above?
Cheers for the info
I don't see why not. I used speedmod kernels while I was on KG6 and had no issues.
I found it to be very stable and battery life wasn't too bad either. It really depends on what you do with your phone.

Thanks for the reply.
if i install the kernel will it root the phone? Did you find any issues/bug when using the speedmod?
Cheers
Hello guys,
I own a samsung galaxy s2 right now and i got the following installed on it:
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9200XXKI3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579 [email protected] #Supercore 2.0
Build: DarkyROM2 XXKI3 Base
Now i wonder wich is the best one i could use for the S2? I see so many roms and kernels.
Another thing in this version they changed the camara and on my idea its slower and darker. Where can i get a better one or the default camara.
Sincerely thanks

ROM is a matter of taste. There is no "Best ROM ever". There is only "Best ROM that suits my taste".
You want some of the (GOOD) samsung features on a custom ROM that is fast? (like h/w accelerated browser,cam app). Try GingerMOD Vanilla
You want pure aosp rom with minimal (really minimal) apps that is fast?
Try Oxygen ROM.
You want freshness, and innovation?
Try CyanogenMod 7
Still lotsa players out there like Cognition, Villain, Galnet, etc etc,
Try them all and see which one is best for u!

Hi,
I have been trying to look for answers in the forum but it is too confusing...My status is like this: I got the phone and installed Siyha 4, that was many months ago, if I look in About this is what I see;
- Android version: 4.0.3
- Baseband v: I9100BGLP2
- kernel v: [email protected]))
- Build number: IML74K.BGLP8
It is working, but it's showing random hangs, GPS does not work many times...and as I see there is even official support for JB, I would like to upgrade. But, I dont know what steps and even what I should upgrade. Not sure if Siyah I can just upgrade without issues, if then I can install any rom I want of top of it...etc. I would be really gratefull if somebody could tell me:
- what I need to upgrade
- in what order
then I will investigate and manage to do it myself. For example, I am after instructions like this (making them up as an example, no idea if this is correct):
1. upgrade to SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta5
2. restart
3. install ROM cm-10.1.3-i9100.zip
I know there is no 'best' rom, just asking for advise for any JB (or later if there is stable one) rom that works well (no random crashes frquently, GPS working, I really need that).
thanks in advance!

1-to flash stock roms(tar extension) use odin or to flash custom roms (zip extention)then you need a custom recovery (eg ClockWorkMod).
2-if GPS is really matters to you,then dont flash cm10.1 is it have a known issue (gps is not working 99% of all time)see known issues for cm10.1:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Known_Issues_page_for_i9100
if you want stock rom(eg 4.1.2) look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487"
if you want custom rom with working gps use(in my opinion)neatrom lite:

guide to flash with odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
always check the roms with md5sum check.
Hope it helps.
thanks!
OK, so let's say I'll go with stock rom (I'll remove most of samsung crap with RootDelete)...What about Siyah kernel I installed:
- is it replaced when installing stock rom?
- if not, can I update it to latest Siyah version? should I?

yes,because every rom has a kernel,but if you want Siyah kernel,after flashing the stock rom flash Siyah kernel again.if you want to update to stock jelly bean 4.1.2 then flash latest Siyah kernel.
Sorry for bad english.
