Re-build the XXKP2 ICS rom. removed samsung keyboard and TW. Now we boot straight into ICS goodness. And no more keyboard FC.

cwm zip is at http://www.multiupload.com/SLPXCFNAJ6

three part videos - from installing in cwm to booting to doing stuff starts at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyvYJOcrRYA&list=UUF2njLlZj9BaNPCgyYeNHcg&index=1&feature=plcp

Not sure whether i should put this on xda :P

Well, I took the plunge and flashed it this morning.

All's well, except that I lost cwm since siyah kernel won't work. But all things considered, the zip works and gave me a taste of ics.

Also included the ril from kp2 in the zip.

So, half a day with ics; here's my impression:

• samsung keyboard fc. no matter, android keyboard works.
• camera fc too.
• launcher2 from nebkat works great
• data works too (3g/edge) on DiGi malaysia
• rooted using SuperOneClick. installed titanium, and give root perm.
• didn't try wifi
• calls work. received calls and the other person can hear me :P

Now back on KK5. Will wait it out

Downloaded the leaked build from sammobile.com and put it to dsixda-kitchen.

Didn't include the bootloader. here's the information:

 - Working folder information

 Android OS version             : 4.0.1
 Device                         : GT-I9100
 Model                          : GT-I9100
 ROM Name                       : GT-I9100-eng 4.0.1 ITL41D 595 test-keys
 CSC version                    : UNKNOWN
 Rooted (Superuser.apk + su)    : NO

 /data/app enabled              : NO
 Custom boot animation allowed  : NO

 /system/app is deodexed        : YES
 modem.bin found                : NO
 ROM will wipe all data         : NO

So, it's really a dev build like KL1 since it's still deodexed.

Trying to build this to a zip and flash(?)

Virtualizing hosts are the norm now. With linux we have a few options:

• kvm
• xen
• vmware

I've tried xen and kvm, and have a few hosts+guests on xen.

I've run vmware esxi too, and have a few hosts+guests too.

The thing with xen is that i can access the guests thru command line, which is a plus compared to accessing vmware guests. Unless there's a way to access via command line that I dont know of.

Also, with vmware I need to have a windows box around, and I have to install one vm to manage these guests.

Coupled with slow connection, the command line way is a plus. However, the vmware client is easier for the novice (i.e me).

Anyway, all these led to this:

All xen guests sync their datetime to the host. If the host lags, then all guests will lag too. Even when we change the datetime manually, it will sync with dom0 and be lagging or different again.

So, moral of the story is, keep the host clock synced!

XWKK5 firmware for sgs2 was released a few days back. It's not official firmware, I don't think.

Anyway, Intratech provided a frankenstein firmware. Here's how to cook it to your own satisfaction:

• get the frankenstein firmware. Get CF-root kernel too
• get dsixda kitchen if you haven't already
• unzip the firmware, un tar and put it in dsixda-kitchen/original_update
• run dsixda-kitchen/menu
• set up our working folder.
• we can add root, busybox, bash, etc.
• since we're using stock/frankenstein firmware, we need to deodex
• before choosing build rom, change anything in WORKING_FOLDER*/; add apk, remove apk, etc
• build rom
• we're done

Here's my latest sgs2 rom: xwkj3 rooted with % battery

Will add other mod soon.

I think :P

p/s this could fit in a tweet :P

Here's a simple app. And when I say simple, it's really is that.

Once started, it will get your location and spit out all waktu solat for the day. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's meant as a starting point for me. Also to answer the question, when is Zuhur, or Asar, etc.

Probably will try and add more as I go along.

Get it - version 0.0.0

Will update if there is one :)
