Running the latest NeatROM ExtraLite/Aroma on my i9100 and absolutely blown away by the speed of it! However, my S2 is an `ex salvage` model which I don't (and can't) use as a phone (IMEI is barred and I honestly don't need or want it as one), and as such I never have a SIM card in it. Is there a way to remove the "No SIM" icon and message in the status bar that anyone knows of..? It's a massive annoyance really and would just perfect things to get rid of it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Just stick an old SIM in it or, if you don't have one, get a free PAYG SIM and use that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
There is an Xposed module "Hide no sim icon" which claims to do the job for you. .. but IDK of it works on your phone.

And you have to install Xposed framework first.

Should I go with the ExtraLite version or Lite version of the ROM ?

what about the kernel, which showed as the best ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Well.

It depends on your needs.

You can flash extralite version and choose the additional apps u would like to have in aroma.

All the s2 kernels were performing well for me when I had s2.

I recommend apolo anyways
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cro Cop:
Okay, I´ll go with extralite and apolo regular
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cro Cop:
Okay, I just flashed the rom (extralite version), full wipe (But I didnt wipe my internal storage of course) and I`m stuck on NeatRom logo loading screen. I was coming from SlimSaber 4.4.2 ROM. In the aroma installer, I chose MTP for connection (Should I have chosen Mass storage ?). What should I do now?

nvm, I got it flashed successfully, thank you Sale for this ROM !

just one question : During the installation , I could choose between MTP and Mass storage connection. I chose MTP. Whats the difference between those two ?

For two weeks started my phone acting so strange. I can't save/delete any file to internal memory. Gallery mostly doesn`t work. Some applications does FCs

Without full wipe I installed 6.4, no solution

Full wipe, no solution.

Reformatted sdcard no solution.

After boot works for 1-2 minute without problem. I can open gallery, delete any file or somtehing like that after that starting the problems.

I deleted yItems in memory cards, there is enough space but I can't fix this problem.

any suggestion?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avirk:
Try to run checkdisk using usb cable on your computer, for guide there is a link in my signature.

If still doesn't fix it, try to flash the stock firmware via odin and check if it solve the issue then using philz kernel you can root again without any yellow triangle and issues.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] YaPaY:
Hello avirk,

I started to scan but since about 15 minutes there is not any progress. Is that normal?

Hi Can I Install this rom on at&t s2. Is it possible by flashing some conversion kit.After flashing the original rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
AT &T I777 S2 .. right?

Yes.

You have to port it first. There are some modification needed in build.prop

But I don't recommended doing this if you are new to this kind of stuff.

--->> i encounter this, is there a way to make it transprent after reboot? and no need to scrooll down the status bar? thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mano2:
Hello everyone!

I would like to switch my stock 4.1.2 ROM because I'm getting tired of all the bugs and annoying freezes/lags because of it... I have 250~300MB free memory but sometimes (for example when I use Viber or just want to talk to someone in phone) I can't hear the caller or Viber force closes and then I only see the background for a couple of minutes then everything reappears.

I'm curious about this ROM, is it stable enough to switch from stock? I'm searching for a stable battery friendly, reliable ROM. Also I'm terribly sad that Samsung discontinued the development for this phone... they could have made it 4.2.2 at least!

Anyway thanks anyone who helps! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] engloa:
IMO, its stable.

Hope you're rooted (and you'll need to do a full wipe as you're using a stock rom, so make sure to back up all your important files before flashing)

Read the installation guide carefully before proceeding and good luck
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kai_15:
finally i updated my neatrom 5.9 to 6.4 and the lockscreen is fully transapernt without problem.. guys can you help me i think i saw a zip file here that allow to re align the status icon because wifi or netwok icon is little far from signal icon.. hope somebody help me again.. thankyou..

[Galaxy S II Android Development] chrisXL:
First congratulations to _Sale_ for his roms. I have a question. The 6.3 version (I'm on dual boot) needs the media scanner fixe (see screenshot)? View attachment 2977278 Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] engloa:
That depends on how long it takes the media scanner to scan for files when you boot the rom. If it takes more than a minute or two for the media scanner service to complete, then you'll need to flash the fix.

Check using BBS(search xda) or Gsam (search playstore)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mano2:
I have stock ROM 4.1.2 with XXMS2 and didn't found this in the list.

I wasn't sure which one to install because I only found XXMS1 but it's not the same I think.

I was afraid that I'm going to do something wrong... :)

This is a really good and detailed method but I didn't want to install any custom recovery yet.

Thank you for both of you but I found the easiest way in this topic: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/steps-rooting-gt-i9100-4-1-2-t2116549

I flashed the superSU from stock recovery and everything went just fine. This root can be applied to any 4.1.2 stock fw. :good:

But I really appreciate all your help! :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avirk:
You can flash XXMS1 base kernel too without messing up with your phone. If you want to install this rom or any custom rom you will need custom recobery which philz, apolo, dorimanx has. Without custom recovery you can't flash it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xn0live:
hi why I can not make a swap file with the apolo kernel?_S
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
You should ask this in the Apolo forum.

Oh... wait... you already did, and got an answer from [MENTION=3445281]pedestre[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mano2:
I know that I have to use custom recovery. Previously I had a galaxy mini 2 which I used to practice these things (I installed a lot of ROMS without bricking it :p).

Which custom recovery do you recommend? For now I only used CWM, but I've seen TWRP and philz recovery too.

Which one is the best and safest for S2?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
For i9100 . there is no separate kernel and recovery.

They both come together.

Again this is upto you to decide.

Like in my case I prefer philz/cwm over twrp anyday.?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mano2:
One more thing for this phone to be the best of the series! :p

I haven't tried philz but it looks kinda familiar after cwm. To be honest there is no major differences I think.

But I will stay at cwm too. :good::)

I just now have to wait until the stock ROM gets me so frustrated that I will have the courage to try and install a different ROM! :silly: :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
If steady ROMs fraustates you then this ROM surely will..... If it does head over to AOSP NeatRom to continue your frustrations with a stable AOSP ROM....

Regarding recovery and kernel, I've been huge fan of Apolo for it gives me option to slightly tweak it using Apolo Configurator... with my favourite tweak to be Slide2Wake gesture.... And it gives me good battery life too..... And I've been using TWRP recovery since I switched from AOSP... It's more friendly to me... [emoji106]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mano2:
I'm not exactly understanding your first sentence... so now you recommend this ROM or not? :confused:

The cause of my frustration is however the phone is powerful enough ny hardware even for 4.4 KitKat we have a basic 4.1.2 JB which is unfinished in my opinion. It's a transition between 4.0.4 and 4.2.2.

So it's like a phone stuck in development halfway. :eek: I'm only running CleanMaster and Viber and still the phone sometimes lags and hangs for seconds! Also sometimes randomly freezes! :mad:

I have to take out the battery to turn off the phone by force... this is nonsense.

I think these ROM's don't have problems like this! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
Sorry to have you get confused.... Let me be straight forward... This is probably the most stable JB ROM for S2 with great aroma option to choose from... If you go with full wipe and clean flash it is unlikely that you'll get unstable ROM... Also the AOSP ROM made by master [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION]is also very stable ROM... I've been switching with stock ROM and AOSP ROM and both are excellent
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mano2:
No problem! :) Thank you for clarifying this for me. I will definitely switch my ROM from now on.

Also I want to do a backup first. I should do it with stock recovery or with custom recovery? Maybe I should use a 3rd party app?

If I have a backup then how can I restore it if something goes wrong? I'm now using an fw (I9100XXMS2) which I couldn't find anywhere and I read somewhere in this forum that if you are doing a backup with an fw then you have to install back that fw with ODIN and restore the backup with the exact same fw because if not you can loose data or efs...etc.

Sorry for the lot of questions! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
First of all, in order to do a backup you need custom recovery like philz, Apolo etc... Just boot into recovery by pressing vol up+home key+power button, go to backup and restore. In philz-touch cwm recovery you have to go to Backup and restore > Misc backup settings and tick preload before creating a backup.....back to backup and restore menu and start your backup either to your internal or external SD...... That's all... If its not clear please search the threads in XDA or google it.....

In order to restore, simply boot into recovery, clear cache and dalvic (or even better full wipe), backup and restore menu, restore the backup you want.....That's it....You'll get used to...... Or using a 3rd party software like Nandroid manager, it's simple to view your backup and restore things... Just explorer the app and it's easy.... And in my view, in S2 its not necessary to have same firmware version to restore... I've been flashing to and from different NeatRom based on different firmware in the past without problem... That's of course Jellybean and KitKat ROMs... But I think other devs have better explanation than me...

Edit: There's an app which lets you backup your ROM without having to boot to recovery... Its called Online Nandroid Backup...You can try it too.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kai_15:
guys i dont know if you're encounter this, i have free of 250 MB on device memory which is uses for apps but when i try to update my apps it said insufficient memory even though i have free of 250 MB??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avirk:
Just clearing the cache will do the magic.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

You will need philz kernel soon later or first. Cause you need a custom recovery to flash the zip files, or mobile odin lite version to flash the kernel .tar version.

Philz can be flashed via stock recovery because its zip supports it no other kernel can. After flashing philz I'll recommend to flash the apolo kernel which will backup your preload partition without any additional setting while philz have to make some settings.

Stock recovery can't make backup. After backing up flash new rom, if you want to restore then you habe to do nothing just perform restore option and done. No wipe needed in that case. But flashing a new rom will need wipe of data and both caches.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cirra92:
Format USB storage

Ok people, I've got some strange behavior. I've tried to format USB storage, through Settings -> Storage, but it just unmounts, checks USB storage and nothing gets erased :S Rebooting the phone did not help, I don't get it why it doesn't want to format.

I am on Neat v6.4.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chrisXL:
What do you want to format?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cirra92:
USB storage (12gb partition). I could do it throught CWM probably, but I find this safer. Plus, I want to get it working through Settings -> Storage :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chrisXL:
you mean the internal storage 12Gb. You will lose all data!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cirra92:
Yes, I know, my point was to clean it completely don't worry :) Anyway I've done it through CWM, but still don't know why format through Settings didn't work.

Btw, it's labeled as USB storage in Storage options :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mano2:
Thank you for your detailed explanation and help! I will definitely look after these solutions!

And from now on the backup won't be a problem I think. :)

I think I will choose Philz then because I prefer doing this with custom recovery. I'm only using ODIN on Windows to put the custom recovery into the phone but if Philz can be flashed via stock then there is no question about this! ;)

So I can use this version of Philz recovery to install this ROM right?

Also I'm using XXMS2 fw but I can't find the exact Philz recovery version for it. Which version can I flash?

@ssanjy you mentioned that you are flashing different ROM with different fw but which recovery did you use? The one that matched your fw or that doesn't matter at all?

@avirk what do you suggest? Which version should I choose?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kai_15:
--->>> sir where cache should i clear is it on playstore app??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
Reboot to recovery, and then clear cache from there... That's it

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------

Philz and Apolo are both custom recovery..... While making backup, philz doesn't include preload partitions by default whereas Apolo does.... Apolo is also a great kernel for great battery life....... However, philz kernel can let you root your phone straight from stock recovery as well which no other kernel so far can do for S2,...

For philz kernel to match your firmware, I think this will also work http://d-h.st/qx5...let's confirm from [MENTION=4910390]avirk[/MENTION]... But to flash NeatRom it will work for you...

Read http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/deve...lz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270 page for detailed info and download links to philz kernel....

One more thing, is the fw xxms2 or is it the modem because searching it showed modem to me... Confirm your firmware or post screen of your about device please or type *#1234# in your dialer for your phone info
