Galaxy S II - Woes

---

Hi Guys,

Okay. I am a noob and I hate being a noob, and when I registered for the site I watched the noob video. Whilst I did do my research on xda, androidforums etc. I feel I still need your assistance before I go on to ruin something.

Phone: Galaxy S II
Location: Australia
Network: Vodafone
Kernel: XXKF2
Rom: Litening Rom v1.5 XXKF2
Android Version: 2.3.3
Mode: GT-I9100
Symptons: Low internal storage, drained battery, when charging or in use, can get very warm near the camera lens.

I've actually had a great run with Litening Rom until one day I woke up and my alarm went off for work. I went to turn it off and the battery was so hot I could've started scrambling some eggs. In a state of panic, I turned the switch off and the battery charge for 6hrs was 5% - wtf. Long story short, I've searched and found many threads with many different unofficial responses. I'm to the point where I'm deciding to go back to stock or to another rom. Most of the download links I've searched on XDA seem to be invalid (i.e stock Kernel XXKF2 and Litening Rom v3.2).

In anycase, do I need to:

1. Download specifically the XXKF2 kernel? Or can I try another? If so, can anyone direct me elsewhere as god knows I've tried.
2. Anyway to remove rom on its own? I've got Odin etc.
3. Can I also clarify that when I rooted the phone to the Litening Rom, does that change the stock Kernel? If not, then perhaps I just need to goto point 2 above.

Any assistance would be grateful.

Thank you.

Hey mate.

When you flashed the custom ROM you would of also changed your kernel.
I would suggest trying Siyah kernel, I've used it and I had great battery life.
That should help sort out your other issues too

Good luck!

Youre talking abouth odin and lightning rom so youve rooted and flashed allready......so your a bit noob-off,but as above said try another kernel or better....flash an other rom.
Download some other roms, reboot in recovery, flash them try it for an day....with outh installing your app's , install your app's when youve got an rom of your choice/like's see what the battery drain does and the heat development at the back......try it greatz mike
