[TRICK] DualBoot GB ROM and ICS/JB ROM - Galaxy S II General

Hello...
well i dont know if this may be useful for anyone or not but if u want to run both GB and ICS/JB in ur phone, this is for you..
not actually a dualboot but its slight modification
all you need is
1.a kernel supporting dualboot ( siyah/dorimanx for ICS/JB)
2.a kernel which runs GINGERBREAD rom
3.obviously ur GB and ICS/JB rom
NOW
flash dual boot kernel in recovery mod
install ur ICS/JB rom as second rom and
GINGERBREAD rom as first rom(skip if already installed).
now for running ICS/JB , reboot and select second rom
for running GINGERBREAD reboot in recovery flash kernel supporting GB rom.. boot.. it will boot to GB..
again for running ICS/JB reboot in recovery flash dualboot kernel and boot second rom.. it will boot to ICS/JB
i know its quite complicated but may be useful till someone discovers something better and more useful..
if this seems crap mods/devs can delete this thread
THANX

What's the point flashing a kernel 3-4 times a day, and why.. WHY would you want to stick with GB? Move on. CM9 and CM10 are stable as f***. If you got problems with them, then you're doing it wrong.

Sorry bro.. this thread is not for u.. i do have installed ics/jb.. they r good but still some apps and games run well on gb as compared to ics or jb plus gb has better ram management plus better battery i know siyah gives more than 1 day battery usage with ICS but its more than 2 days for Gb.. miui gb is more stable than miui ics or jb which get updated weekly .. i cant flash weekly with updates then again create restore backup apps messages contacts call logs etc etc..
And flashing kernel 2-3 times is lot easier and takes less time than flashing gb and ics roms over each other..
Btw i dont think many of us dual boot rom more than one time a day..

Thanks a lot for this information.. I've been searching for this information..
But I've a question..
Your Steps :-
1. flash dual boot kernel in recovery mod
2. install ur ICS/JB rom as second rom and
3. GINGERBREAD rom as first rom(skip if already installed).
4. now for running ICS/JB , reboot and select second rom
5. for running GINGERBREAD reboot in recovery flash kernel supporting GB rom.. boot.. it will boot to GB..
6. again for running ICS/JB reboot in recovery flash dualboot kernel and boot second rom.. it will boot to ICS/JB {Now, Do I have to flash both ICS and GB ROMs again.?? Will the information of kernel about 2 ROMs not be lost..???}

This comes in handy though is little troublesome. I've encountered multiple curbs accessing cool apps and themes in ICS and JB..

So this should work with any jb rom that works with siyha or dorimax such as pacman or jellybam? I've got remoras last 4.7 gb rom and love it but I want to try jb but it looks like it reformat the file structure and you can't easily flash back a gingerbread rom once you flash jellybean. So if this works it would be an easy way for me to try jb. Thanks in advance.

you should flash uboot to the kernel partition (search on xda for uboot for the true multiboot) on the i9100 forums and configure it to ask you what kernel to boot
(i would do that)

[Q] How to flash CM9 on my defy?

I’m Using MIUI Now,and i want to flash cm9 on my defy,but I do not know how to do that. Anyone can help me? I have flashed cm7, is it the same with cm9?
this might help

you should just use multi-Boot Keep your curent room and CM9

I have done as that, but now the problem is cm9 has no signal in this way
I'm have not tried to flash cm9 coming from miui.
I just did the usual way, wipe everything and then instal .zip from SD.
If you want to instal builds, newer than 111207 you need to flash 111207 first.
hope this helped, greetz Esok
edit: I also had problems with the net while using multiboot.
Newer builds 111207 cant be used with multiboot. But in my opinion 111211 is good enough to use everyday

Ics rrom

Hi everyone. Im right now in Gb rooted android, and i want to try Ics.
Any suggestion of wich rom install? I looking for the best perfomance and not
so much useless things or ui things.
And other question, if a do now in gb, a cwm backup, can i restore later if
ics dont work well for me?
I must first back to my rom and kernel (one time i am in ics) to restore the cwm backup or if im on ics can i restore de gb backup??

To me i like lp9 ics. When in ics do not use the cmw to restore it will break your phone just flash the gb via pc odin if dont like the ics.
or u can try CM9 based roms like Asylum or ParanoidAndroid
If your in ics dont factory reset or recovery data wipe. Very important reminder.
Ok

No they are based on CM9, so they are safe. But, flash them from GB or another CM9 rom, not ICS official roms.
They don't have s pen button abilities as that is samsung framework.

Many people hardbreak their phone when they flash the paranoid rom while running in ics. Read carefully before flashing. As andrew88 said flash it in gb paranoid and cm9.

But you still might not get the button functions. The button does in fact work in Papyrus though.
But, the button won't work in the ROM itself because its not Touchwiz.

thanks for the clearup ... im not an avid user of the s-pen by the way ..
i did install catch and freenote just to get a feel of it but the apps dont stay long in my note
imo paranoid is the best looking rom but some apps dont run with it so i come back to official lpy with speedmod kernel it is good too.

I'm using CleaNote 1.02, very easy to install if you are already rooted and have CWM recovery. Just copy the zip file to the sdcard and flash it from CWM recovery.
It's ICS LQ3 with speedmod K3-3 kernel (safe). Everything works, and you have all Samsung apps (although I disabled most of them).

Defy+ from MIUI to CM10 Jelly Bean (Quarx's Build)

Hi guys,
i know that there might already be an existing thread about this but i wouldn't create one if i had found something that helps me.
Im using a Defy+ with Miui 2.3.2 and i really want to move to CM10 Jelly Bean.
I've found a really cool thread from Quarx and Epsylon about installing CM10 on a Defy+.
I already downloaded the newest release (04.09.) zip file and also the google apps and put both on my SD card.
But as it seems and as i have heard, it's not possible to move from a NON-CM version like MIUI to a CM version by going the typical steps (booting phone in recovery mode, choosing the Quarx zip file and installing it).... or am i wrong?
Can i just put firmware and google apps on my SD card and install that zip from recovery mode and everything's working well?
I didn't mention to wipe the dalvik cache here cause it's just a detail. I just wanna know if this MIUI to CM transformation is possible.
Hope you can help me, i really wanna use Quarx's CM10 cause i've heard it's amazing.
Thank you guys
is there noone who can help me with this or at least give me a link to another thread that already deals about this?
I don't think there would be any problem provided you wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing CM.

ahhh, now i remember which problem there was with changing from MIUI to CM.
Doesnt MIUI use another kernel than Quarx's newest CM?
Unless and utill you downgraded your kernel to the froyo one, you won't have any issues. I have flashed WIUI GB version for Defy+ and for me the kernel is still the stock one.
Can anyone hep me with this? I had miui then tried to flash cm10, i followed all the steps but when booting up for first time it got stuck miui screen. I guess this means i have the wrong kernel but im not sure how to correct it

1. Flash a new kernel OR

3 (New option now) Flash the latest quarx JB CM10 with custom kernel included.

Lenovo a6000 - Lollipop or KitKat ?

Hello, im with Lenovo a6000 (not plus) and now im with Kraft S040. Before few days my Lenovo search new upgrade - Kraft S058 KK2L. I want to know who OTA is better S040 or S058_KK2L. I want to know what problems has the latest version (S058) And what is better than S040 ?
Lollipop is better than Kitkat. I have tested using antutu, kitkat's score about 20K, lollipop's score about 23 K.
BUT, we have problem with battery in lollipop. I think it's because of the kernel. in lollipop, when we are using our phone, all cores always reach middle until high frequencies. that's why I'm still using kitkat. Now, I'm using MIUI 7 ROM using custom kernel (MoStock by chhapil).
Stay with kitkat. It's fast and stable. My Lenovo a6000 is very slow and lags a lot since the update to the damn lollipop.

Can you share your kernel.
As the mostock kernel doesnt work with miui without changing ramdisk.
I have a6000 plus.

Yup, My device is Lenovo A6000 Plus.
The performance is great. Not too smooth, I think it's because of the ROM.
Battery life is great too, I get about 1 Day 3 hours on normal use.
The charging speed also good, I just need about 3-4 hours.
You must change kernel settings using Kernel Adiutor.
This setting from chhapil:
CPU: Min freq 200Mhz Max 1200Mhz Alucard Governor with default tunables
Hotplug : Alucard Hotplug
Battery: Fast Charging ON
IO Scheduler: FIOPS on both Storage with read ahead of 1024Kb

Yes you're right. I have flashed cm 11 ENE from techolaty.com. It didn't have WiFi issue. But after I flashed MoStock kernel I couldn't use it. Maybe because of driver problem for WiFi or something else.

Please share boot.img from cm 11 first because I need the ramdisk (not all cusrom has same ramdisk). So, for safety you must send me your boot.img.
Or you can do it by yourselft, just googling about "porting kernel". It's not complicated at all.

Want to unleash my s4 capabilities

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I followed you without being registered for a long time. My name is Joseph and I currently own a Galaxy S4 I-9505. This phone served me very well in these 2 years, but now, with the decayed warranty, I want to unleash the full potential of my phone. Profiling my phone I found that frequency drops to 0.92 Ghz on the CPU and 200 mhz or sometimes slower on the GPU. Obviously with that thermal throttling, games and apps starts to lag, and this is upsetting... I want to flash a new recovery and kernel, but since my last flash experience was 3 years ago on my Galaxy S2, I most likely lost my touch
I need a recovery (wanna make a nandroid) and a kernel for my version of Android. I read around on the forum that TWRP or Philz should be the best option, is it right? And which kernel compatible with TW should I go with? I need it to support overclocking, voltage control, and thermal limits control.
But my biggest concern is: I am currently running a previous version of stock TW Android 5.0.1, rooted without flagging Knox (counter 0x0 but I don't care anymore), but in the .tar file I flashed was lacking bootloader file, so I am stuck on older bootloader. Should I upgrade the bootloader to my rom version before I flash recovery and kernel? Anyway here are some screenshots of my system:

if you want to overclock you'll need to leave touchwiz and go AOSP 5.0 with ktkernel. performance is better without tw anyway and it's better to be without knox !!!
TWRP is more user friendly and compatible for flashing. you should be OK with your bootloader and baseband for now.
Updating bootloader isn't a necessity.
TWRP is the recommended recovery.
There are 2 kernels that support overclocking: Hulk kernel and KT kernel. Both haven't been updated for a long time. KT kernel is actually discontinued because the dev switched to the S5.
My personal recommendation for android 5.0 roms is KT kernel. Download the KT gaming profile from within the app and you're good to go.

I wanted to try out Android 6.0... Is there a suggested rom out there which is almost stable for daily use with a good battery life? And which is a good rom for Android 5.0-5.1?

Ty very much, what do you think about the imperium LL kernel? Does it work with stock TouchWiz?

As @3mel said, you better leave Touchwhiz if you want more performance. I haven't had any Touchwhiz roms on my phone since the stock rom it came with.
If you want Android 6, go for JDCTeam AOSP 6.0 rom. It comes with alucard kernel. It doesn't have overclocking but it's the best 5.1 and 6.0 kernel so far.

I currently don't have enough time to follow a rom installation... So I just wanted to try a different kernel on my current rom, to upgrade later to a custom rom. So I just wanted to modify at least thermal limit now, to game more smoothly. And still looking for a kernel which allows me to do it, with currently TW obviously.

Alucard kernel also has a touchwhiz version if I'm not mistaken.

Then it's just Hulk kernel and Imperiun kernel. There's also an Echo kernel, you can't find it on xda because they left the forums. They have their site now.

Is it OK to install any of those kernel with my version of Android and my bootloader? Or have I to check if there is "old bootloader support" in kernel description?
Bootloaders have nothing to do with kernels.

Thank you very much for your help. One last thing... Is there any AOSP 6.0 I can use with ktkernel? Or I have to use a 5.0.1 or 5.1 AOSP? Which is better?

The developer of kt kernel moved to the S5. The last version he released for the S4 only works on android 5.0. There is a 5.1 version but it doesn't work on all 5.1 roms..

OK ty.... I finally decided to install imperium kernel... Do you know how to use the kernel cleaning script? Or there is no need to use it, and just wipe cache and dalvik after the kernel installation? Do I need to install STweaks before installing the kernel or after is OK too? Ty for all ur support

I never used the kernel cleaning script. Wipe dalvik and cache before flashing the kernel.
Most kernels come with their own app. If not, install one manually.
the kernels I've looked at have all suggested wiping cache and dalvik after flashing. other users here have suggested using hawkerscore script bundle for it's kernel wipe when switching between kernels so that's been my habit of recent...

i think that the kernel cleaning script in the imperium kernel post work in the same way, when do you launch the script? before or after the kernel flash?
Run the script BEFORE flashing the kernel.

Kernel cleaning scripts only delete files that other kernels left behind.
Meaning it is only useful if you changed a lot of kernels.
I don't think there is any point in using the script if you come from a stock kernel.
But I didn't develop the kernel. So if the dev says it is mandatory, who am I to second guess him.
I've finally flashed the kernel, but I have some problems with intelli thermal control. In fact even if I set the thermal throttling start temperature to 80 degrees, the thermal throttling starts at 60 degrees... Here is a screenshot of Stweaks
