[Galaxy S II Android Development] raxidian:
After reading 20 or more pages since last night searching for my previous post, I just can confirm people don't know how to read.

It's beyond me how most of these people got the idea to install a different ROM in their phones if they actually can't read or make a simple search.

First of all,

Installation steps (version 1.5)

1.- Install the Main ROM

2.- Install Gapps

3.- Install Remix-ics-SU-Busybox-Installer+lost apps

4.- Wipe Cache & Dalvik

5.- Reboot

Those are the steps you follow if you are looking forward to do it as a NO-WIPE Install.

If you are having random problems the best should be to do a FULL-WIPE Installation (I do that always to minimize the chance of getting or creating bugs that are not from the ROM itself or the kernel that I flash, if I flash one, and that come from my particular device, configuration and apps).

FULL WIPE Installation Steps (That I follow)

1.- Wipe DATA

2.- Wipe CACHE

3.- FORMAT mnt/system (you can do that from the Format Menu)

4.- Wipe DALVIK

5.- Install the Main ROM

6.- Install Gapps

7.- Install Remix-ics-SU-Busybox-Installer+lost apps

8.- Wipe Cache & Dalvik

9.- Reboot

At this point I just setup everything, only let Gapps to update and install only Titanium Backup to restore the apps I always install. If any app gives me trouble I just uninstall and reinstall it from the market. That way I weed out which are causing problems and I can trace the problem back to the app or to the current ROM version.

After that and rebooting a second time in Recovery to install any additional patches or check if the custom Bootanimation that I use runs correctly I head to the forums to search and read for further updates.

If you are here installing this you should already know that...

Every AOKP has a changelog, and every new version of AOKP has some bugs fixed and sometimes some new ones.

If you are using this ROM, you already know that Wes is using as base AOKP and you should also know that a lot of features like turn your phone to dismiss a call, call recording, Kies, swipe to call or message a contact (that's a feature of the Samsung Dialer/Contact app) are not working because those are features from the AOSP ROM or AOSP Stock apps. Stop asking or complaining about this if you can't live with any of this features try to check a third party app or just go back to a previous Resurrection Remix Version that is still based on AOSP (the stock Samsung ROM).

Also, BEFORE COMPLAINING/ASKING ALWAYS ALWAYS (did I said ALWAYS?) check the FAQ that GaboWinter updates. You can find it in the Opening post in this thread or different signatures of a lot of smart users.

If you have a problem with the ROM, phone overheating, battery drain, Wifi connection problems, lost your APNs, messsaging not working, etc... and you are using a KERNEL that wasn't the one supplied with the original installation file made by Wes don't come here complaining for a problem with the ROM itself or the current AOKP Build. Most probably those problems are caused by the KERNEL. You should check first and foremost with the people in charge of supporting that KERNEL and check the Changelogs for any problems or possible bugs.

Always the best you can do is test for a day the new version, make a full NANDROID Backup (from Recovery) and give the KERNEL of your choice a test ride. That way you will trace any bug to the ROM or to the KERNEL and you won't end with bootloops, reinstalling five times and people on this thread (like myself) hating you and hoping you get a ban for asking the same stupid questions again and again withouth reading, searching or just using common sense to see why that's happening to you and not to everybody.

This is the link to the latest FAQ, for version 1.5.

and

This is the link to the mirrors for the files for version 1.5

One more thing... if you are installing version 1.x, read the FAQ for the same version and only refer to the Mirror list from that version. Use your head, don't mix fixes, patches, mods because the only thing you are doing is screwing yourself and you'll end up with a bricked phone or best case scenario doing a full wipe and starting over.
