Successful update from 9.3 to 9.6

So I started the day with 9.3 on my phone with classic themes and stock LPH kernel.

I downloaded all the files for 9.6 and copied them to the root directory of my external_sd

10:00 am - Rebooted into recovery (installed cwm.zip as I was on stock kernel) and installed the main remix rom, gapps for remix 9.6, gapps fixer, classic themes, wiped the cache, wiped the davlik cache, fixed permissions and rebooted.

Rebooted back into recovery and installed stock kernel, cwm, stock kernel + cwm and rebooted.

Result nice new version. :)

Then spent next couple of hours restoring all my apps with titanium backup, resetup my custom ring tones, wifi and bluetooth parings, custom notifications, restored go-launcher and sms messages - allmost done.......

Ran the exchange mail patch (don't want the exchange server messing with my device) replaced the camera sounds with silent ones, checked all my apps were working - so far so good......

By about mid afternoon everything was back with everthing running, then did a CWM backup.

Now I have the new version with FM Radio, OTG and MHL all working - looks like it was worth the effort!!!!

sure, default resolution on sgs2 is 480x800, so when adding a wallpaper in that size it should fit perfectly, but on this rom it look more like the wallpaper is zoomed and not a perfect fit.

on further look it seems that smart keyboard also is to big to fit the screen correct, so it might be a launcher problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tapperace2010:
My friend

I went as far back as LPH stock rom, installed that with Odin, then re-flashed the phone and all is work fine.

Odin allows to take phone csc and pda back to default, should cure any issues.

Let me know

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
It`s happening when you want to set wallpaper as a lock screen, on home screen it is fit perfect. And is not just on this rom. With this bug we can live;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] asfpf:
+1 for this bug.

Couldn't find any fix for this. Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlz0206:
Gtalk still doesn't work properly with 9.6 even with stock kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Typhoon79:
no changes made at all.

and the bug is on home screen only, lock screen is a perfect fit with the images, that's the weird part.

i only have 3/4 in smart keyboard when texting and using market
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sahidmiah:
Is 9.6 a full wipe?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Yes, of course
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:

Hi i can't put a direct call shortcut in home screen.

Can anyone confirm this please ?

Sorry for my bad English it's not my native language
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carlz0206:
mine too works but the prob is that when making call and video call you cannot hear the person your calling but he/she can hear you,experienced this with LPH kernel in 9.5 but when you change kernel to LP6 then the prob is gone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kherber0s:
Thank you, West. You're really something.

First off.. I successfully updated from 9.5 -> 9.6, and everything is smooth as butter. Everything, and I mean everything that worked in 9.5 works even better now, along with the added features in 9.6.

Secondly, you've done a great job, West. As far as I see it, there's no Rom out there that can even compete with yours; It's simply too complete and fluid, but that's just my opinion. If it's this good now, I can't even imagine the outcome once the official Ics for S2 is released.

And lastly: If you're facing any bugs, such as issues with background, lockscreen, 3G connectivity issues or strange system apps in the drawer that aren't really supposed to be there, flash a new copy of 9.4 or 9.5 and reflash 9.6, because these bugs are not supposed to exist.

If a bug isn't reported by more than one person, it simply doesn't exist, but is rather an issue that came along with a faulty flash of the Rom, and I'm sure many members agree with me. Since the majority of us that followed each and every step towards the 9.6 installation/Kernel installation does not have said bugs, the fault simply lies in how the rom was flashed.

Ok so I know im an idiot noob. can someone please help me on how to install this rom. i did like instructions said, downloaded the rar then I extracted it, then I dragged the file to internal. then i went to recovery wiped everything, went to backup and restore, restore from internal and i did not see the resurrection file. help please
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adambala:
extract the file but be careful only one folder not two....as folder into folder...thats why you cant see your back up file.....and you have to install the first file as base and then updates....read the first post to find the first file....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PatrickWu:
Current problems for V7.0 are

1. Media scanning time

When trying to test camera, showed 'media scanner running' and then out of application automatically. Think this should be less in future development.

2. Face unlock

Had set up the unlock, but stuck and showed 'Face unlock has stopped'

Think if this can be solved by the instruction Westcrip suggested before.

3. Titanium backup

Using restore Titanium is from time to time interrupted. Just use the force stop from the setting of application to run this backup again.

Others will be reported if identified.

backlight and scrolling has been fixed in LP1 I use bezeke LP1 and both work ok for me. Scrolling is super fast now on the browser and facebook
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hippo2s:
Cleared data, wiped cache, for some reason i am able to delete the music tracks (one by one) manually. I was also able to finally delete the gallery folders too.

All good now.

Battery life hasn't been too bad. The first hour or so it ran warm-ish and battery drained unusually fast, it's settled down now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vakas_2007:
let me know if the issue is solved
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KaliKot:
The Media Scanner problem is a damn shame since it cripples Gallery, Sharing and the Camera.

That's just too bad. I'll just restore my Gingerbread backup for now then

[Galaxy S II Android Development] DarkArmada:
First custom ROM installed on my SGS2. Took a leap but definitely worth it. Only a few things to report.

1. Had probably 4 or 5 sudden restarts, mostly when trying to do things for the first time. (Setup Exchange server to open Mail etc). But they've settled down.

2. Battery drained pretty quickly in the first hour or so, still consuming pretty quick but it's expected in the first 24 hours.

3. Just as smooth as the the stock GB ROM I originally had on it. I'm seriously surprised.

4. I was using TouchDown for work email, but have switched so I can make use of all this ICS dream. So nice. Have the phone/calendar/contacts synced to Exchange (only problem is my work has all but PIN and PASSWORD disabled - yuck).

5. Signal bars stuck at max, everyone else on this thread reports same issue. Not a big deal TBH. No doubt it will be sorted in a later release.

6. One thing to watch out for is if you're coming from an older version of CWM. I had v4 on there and the first time I tried to restore the backup it crapped out. A restart back into recovery and was met with new version that worked like a charm.

I was stuck between this ROM and Coldflid's LP2 ROM, I guess I went with this based on the number of revisions and the size of the supporter base.

Based on the last 6 hours or so, I'll be leaving this on as my daily driver. Great work guys!

Edit: I knew I forgot something, the media scanner cleared the gallery with no issue, but I had to delete the tracks out of the music player one by one, not a big deal just a little annoying.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shingers5:
Still don't understand where all these issues come from. As long as I wipe all before flashing I have no issues at all. Yep signal bars and music but nothing else like all these other folks are stating. Media scanner for me was over in 5mins and I had 2 random reboots that's it. On heavy use battery has been fine and over 8 hrs in bed standby drain with all syns on is very low. In use all phones consumes more power especially when gaming. This is amazing working as its based on alpha build lp2 which is far from complete
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bunglebp:
Can't seem to find.answer to this

Is music working from phone and as card?

Any overclock possible?

:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shingers5:
We were all noobs once lol. However this install question is becoming annoying now and has been answered a million times. Check your cwm recovery as v4 doesn't allow restore from internal sd. You need blue cwm 5+ to do so. Place the folder inside the extractme folder dated 14.1.12 into /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. If that folder is not there do not create it just use cwm to backup your current rom to internal sd. This will create folders needed. Reboot phone copy rom folder to now created backup folder and return to cwm to restore
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DarkArmada:
Working on both for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] E.R.Y.:
Did you read my reply?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DarkArmada:
Just a note on this, I'd created the folder myself then unknowingly tried to follow the instructions even though I only had v4 CWM. The first step in the restore process is to restore CWM and it restored it to v5. Even though the restore failed, it ended up being dumb luck.

Wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but just goes to show it's pretty hard to get it wrong.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shingers5:
Home button working here. Flashed as it should be and no issues with home button. Power button options are fine and as stated you held button down too long. I just checked and its there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] E.R.Y.:

use root explorer, navigate to system/then press on build prop, open with text editor, change on ro.sf.lcd_density what dpi you want, make sure system is r/w not r/o. press back and save this changes, and delete back up. Reboot

Anyone knows how to fix this???????????????????????????????????????
[Galaxy S II Android Development] naxos:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] navodwickra:
you can't if you want to use your sd card you need to use the stock LPH kernel using a rooted/unsecure kernel trigger the security check and it makes the sd crad unusable. Basically it's a security check done by samsung to revent stealing data on your secure folder which is where you gonna move your apps to.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hulmeman2:
A lot of peeps are having trouble using this method, as file managers often change permissions after editing. It's always best to edit using 'vi' in a terminal:

/ # vi /system/build.prop

Vi is a bit tricky to use, but if you do use a file manager, ensure permissions are correct using androidterminal:

/ # ls -l /system/build.prop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2733 Mar 8 18:29 /system/build.prop

If permissions are other than -rw-r--r--, do this:

/ # chmod 644 /system/build.prop

Hi West,

have a problem with the bluetooth headset (plantronics backbeat 903) after installing 9.6: It connects with telephone audio, but not with media audio (music playback through the headset). With 9.4 it worked fine.
