Raver,

Excellent work as always. I hate to post this because I really hate "complaining," but I noticed, after flashing the latest version of this rom, that the battery icon will go from a green icon to an ICS blue icon whenever the percentage hits a multiple of 5 (20,25,30, etc). Personally, I like the updated battery icon due to the fact that the percentage is updated in real time (vs the multiples of 5). Is there any way to fix this or is this just a bug? Either way, this rom is much appreciated

Thanks,
David

It will be corrected when i get home as makeing almosi 90 new pngs on a laptop isnt something i want to fo lol

This is Gingerbread based, not Froyo. You do need CWM in order to flash this. Get the official KJ6 release from Samsung, and then flash either drhonk's or bhundven's kernel. I'd recommend bhundven's since its based on the official kernel from KJ6.

As far as the exact procedure the post you linked should lead you in the right direction.

my device came with 221, I updated (Kies) to stock/official 236, and that's where I sit.. so with that in mind, why do I need another kernel, or the official update?

(random guess-->) for the CWM included in the custom kernel or ?

I have no CWM on my phone, I'm on 236 (stock/official), and I'd like to flash Raver's modded Valhalla rom.. so which CWM do I use/install first please

The battery icon is green while discharging. Is that intentional?

Go here GB Ext4 starter pack read the instructions, watch the video, and read the instructions again then follow the instructions. Once you have done that then just download the black edition save file to sdcard and follow the instructions in the OP.

I love this ROM but I'm going crazy cuz I'm still having the missing MMS problem. I wipe/factory reset
I wipe cache
I wipe dalvik cache
I flash BE 1.5

I did this four times in the exact same order but my MMS is still missing. The mms.apk is in the system/apps/ folder but i cant see it anywhere using Zeam launcher, GO launcher, ADW EX, or the ones that came with the ROM. Any help would greatly be appreciated!!

The reason for needing a kernel is because they come with CWM, something you'll need to flash this ROM.

Not sure if this ROM contains the bootloaders, hence why being on GB already helps.

aight man, I'm goin for it *biting nails n sweatn bullets* lol - but I need to put the phone into usb debbugger mode or no? (step 2) and the phone needs to remain in usb storage mode yes?

You only need the phone to be plugged into USB if you're putting files on the SD card, or using SDK tools.

I feel I should mention, you don't seem all that up to date with how this stuff goes so I would advise you do A LOT of reading before you attempt this. It could brick your phone. Browse around these forums, there are tons of tutorials related to the SGS4G and what makes it tick (read: brick, lol).

No, debugging doesn't need to be selected.
Yes, you will need the USB plugged in to copy the Rom file (.zip ) that you want to flash.
Yes, you will need the USB plugged in to use Odin.
No, you do not need it plugged in after you have transferred all of your files as you will be flashing using the recovery.

Again, please read the guide over again and then take your time while using Odin and make sure the files are correct.

I've been reading my ass off for like a week.. and unfortunately, the authors of 99% of the tutorials you're saying I should be reading (which I already have), make it painfully apparent that they do not understand the meaning of comprehensive.. not to mention almost every single ambiguous 'guide' rarely parallels if not contradicts the others on the same subject.. (and yall wonder why there's so many noobs running around actn like they can't read -psh) so forgive me if I seem curt in saying.. you can save that 'you need to read' bull**** lol

What part of my guide are you having trouble with?

EDIT

Looks like you had trouble with getting into download mode. The basic procedure is:
Turn off your phone. Take out the battery.
Plug the USB cable into the computer only (not the phone, yet)
Put the battery into the phone
Hold the Vol + and - key, keep holding them
Plug the usb cable into the phone
You should now be in download mode, you can let go of the vol keys.

punjabi_xtasy · Dec 28, 2011

Hey I actually switched phones to the new Galaxy S 2 few weeks back but I came back here and IM GLAD TO SEE RAVER STILL DEVELOPING NEW roms for you guys!!

his roms kick ass! always! and this one is no exception from the looks of it. I gave my SGS4G to my dad and it has the Octane rom before the 3.0 update and I think I am going to flash this rom for him.

turtlepa · Dec 28, 2011

No dont put zap on it unless u wanna break things...same with ad shot the reason for low scores besides the test is a joke cache speeds n the processer needs ramp time as its not always running 100 percent

Play with read ahead 2mb is ideal use tweaks to set it

amagad that keyboard operation is like eewwww ..and with no swype it's double eewwww :/
(I kno I kno, grab the beta swype.. but the way the keyboard controls operate are friggn yuck)

uh.. so how do I get all my ish back on here using my titanium backup ..is that safe to do? - do I just reinstall the Titanium apk then do the restore dance or some?

hampsterblade · Dec 28, 2011

Pretty much. Open titanium backup. Hit the menu key and touch batch. Under batch hit restore all apps. A menu will popup with everything you backed up. Restoring everything risks breaking things, especially if you did a batch backup that saved system apps, so select only the apps you want to keep.

The new beta swype supposedly works better, but if you want the old swype it may have backed up in the batch. As for the keyboard, it may have backed up too, but I hate the android keyboard in general. I recommend the iphone keyboard emulator app (its a pay app), but I like the key spacing more and the autocorrect works great and even allows for custom words that can be easily added unlike the iphones. But there are lots of different keyboards on the market to try. I recommend downloading different ones til you find one you like.

KotsChopShop · Dec 28, 2011

thank you for taking the time to explain that to me Hamster.. it's appreciated for sure

I did do an all app and data save.. so if I backed up the stock keyboard and swype, I might run into trouble there? - besides my already installed specialty apps, contacts and games,
I can live with everything else, in fact, everything else about this rom is wicked.. right down to the cheesy cool star trek type font it uses xD j/k - but gimme my damn keyboard back yo lol

---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

welp, got all my apps/contacts and settings back.. but restoring the original keyboard had no effect (Samsung keypad 2.3.6), and in essence, failed to install *starts sobbing*
so how can I get my vanilla 236 or even 221 keypad and swype back? ..or is it only swype I need, then just switch to the android vs samsung keypad -?- so many questions so little time lol
