Hi,

Context: yes we all know it-s old, dead, that samsung are bad, and that CM10 is old, and that S2 is almost deprecated.

But for the record, it might help user like me still using it:

I attempted to flash following the instructions on 1st page and they are somewhat incorrect.*

*yes I have done it before with CM9 on another S2, yes I can read instructions and follow them. Oh and ADB yourself, pr1ck.

Anyway, to come back to topic, I could not do that step easily: "- Copy GApps and CM10.1 ZIPs to your internal SDCard".

Because after the step of "clockword recovery", I could not access anymore the phone to put those files.

The phone would not be recognised as usb or anything. Even ADB was saying "No device">

It seems that it has to be in "recovery mode" *volume up, home, and power* and then sometimes, it would be recognised by ADB/

Ok so I did adb push to upload the 2 files above, but wherever i would put them (/emmc/DMIA or /emmc/external_sd whatever), they will be visible from "install from internal SD card" but will always results in an error 7 .

Its only when I come home, copied from from my computer to a micro SD card, put it in the phone, boot in recovery, install from SD and select the files in SD card, that it would work.

So its not really possible to install from "Internal SD card", at least from that installation (Stock rom, going to CM10.1 directly).

Note: I had put similar for CM9 on another device, at the time it was working fine from "internal SD card".

That's it.

Let's say that it could share some time for others.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Just put them on the internal sd before you install cwm and save yourself a rant.
[Galaxy S II General] yuhenyo:
hi. is there a way to fix the tint on the s2. it seems to have a reddish/yellowish tint on it?
[Galaxy S II General] te0o:
Download Screen Adjuster from Google Play and set Blue on +8.
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
Yeah its not ranting, really, beside the ADB comment :D

It was sharing that the instructions are currently incorrect. Im pretty sure that no one care, but if someone else bump into the same problem, then they get a hint.

Oh and for the internal SD, I dont think you can, no? Because the first step is to flash "recovery" and you cannot access them.

Unless you mean "before" the installation, like on the stock rom somewhere?
[Galaxy S II General] yuhenyo:
thanks! that helped! a question though, does the screen really acquire a yellowish tint when changing brightness levels?
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
The instructions are correct. Your knowledge is not.
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
I'm telling you that this time instructions were not correct.

I've been applying the same for CM9 on another S2, it was ok. But here it was not. And I found why.

So don't question my knowledge like you are capable of judging me, ok?

And for the record I have managed to install it on my own anyway, even with instructions containing something incorrect.

This is really full of arrogant pr1cks here!

:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] Kirot:
So the instructions work for everyone, just not for you... They must be incorrect!

And you're being quite the arrogant one around here
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
A few thousand users have already installed with those (correct) instructions without any problem. Think about that before making any more foolish comments.
[Galaxy S II General] meviox:
Seems like you were using some kind of PhilZ kernel that obviously comes with a crappy CWM recovery. Reflashing first a proper (!) kernel/CWM will do the trick. At least in most of the cases.

Did you try entering the location manually?
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Weed1:
Yes, but it says its not exists... Ive founde cLock uses yahoo weather but I dont know what format of location to enter.
[Galaxy S II General] htchd2sucks:
Well first I have been successfully flashing CM in the past, but the "setup" was different.

Second, define "everyone"- Because the everyone who just try flashing CM10.1 from untouched stock, with my exact version and all that must not be so many after all. And as I said, on a different mobile, but for CM9 it was fine from "internal SD".

So if instead of repeating the other's comment, you'd better spend 2 seconds to consider that I could actually be right, and ask questions to confirm, or not.

Anyway, as I said, after I have successfully flashed it, as soon as the 2 files (cm nightly and Gapps) were on... the external SD.

So keep an open mind instead of barking!

PS: i'm happy to discuss technical aspect if anyone is up for it- I dont care, it works, I explained why, I have no more interest but...

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

Finally someone using his brain.

Thanks for the efforts!

I had stock rom, and then I followed the first post, as usual. So it took me to install ClockworkMod recovery (6.0.2.9).

So I followed the instructions in order.

So the device was new, untouched, from stock rom. I have not touched it for a year but I think it was an Android Gingerbread, I'm not sure, I doubt it was a 4.X.

The only difference between "working" and not working was when I put the 2 files (CM nightly and Gapps) in the actual external micro SD. From then it was installing no problem.

But the same 2 files, present on the "internal SD" and visible, will both give error code 7 and "set_perm" issue.

Hence my conclusion that I am happy to technically debate with open minded people: the instructions are not correct for that part.

Obviously I googled it a while and I discarded: incorrect CM nightly file> checksum ok, same file used in both case, etc...

I tried many different "internal folders"., etc, etc...

Oh and for CM9, I had done the same on another phone S2 and it was fine from "internal SD".

I've not tried it on S2, but on S1 recovery, under mounts and storage, you can mount USB to directly access internal storage from PC while in recovery
[Galaxy S II General] ph3n0mII:
Im not willing to go back to stock again just to test, but I do know that somewhere in the last few months, for me at least, there have been a few times when i went back to stock 4.0.4 to do a clean install of cm10.1 , and after the flashing cm10.1 nightly part from CWM recovery, there were no flashable files visible on internal SD when i went to flash gapps, so i had to reboot to recovery and then they were visible again.

A small/insignificant bug, I could only reproduce it on CM10.1's CWM recovery version 6.0.30 on few nightlies around that time, and it only hapened a few times for me anyway.

That prompted me to just keep an 1GB microSD card in the phone with the latest nightly, gapps, nuke scripts and a few other goodies like Aroma file manager and Philz temporary root + CWM Recovery, just incase something ever goes wrong then i dont have to worry about any internal sd related bugs and things if they ever occur.

In regards to philz cwm recovery..interestingly i flashed it via stock recovery on my galaxy tab 2 to add root+CWM then proceeded to do the usual cm10.1 install. Everything worked as expected except cm10.1 didnt replace philz CWM for some reason, but I dont really care to troubleshoot as the rom works great, i just thought it was odd, and even after updating over 30 nightlies since, philz CWM is still there lol.

I had my first ever gallery FC today. I had camera open as usual, exited it via the back button as usual, locked the phone, and put in my pocket. About 2 hours later I pulled my phone out to take a pic and got a gallery FC upon opening the camera app. I pressed ok and pressed camera app again and it works perfectly normal, not a problem. Im gonna try do a catlog for it and post a bit later anyway :)

Does anybody know if theres a way to hide the newly-added 'Lock Homescreen' option from homescreen menu? I think its a handy idea but I dont really like/need it.

As usual, thanks codeworx + many others for your continual great work and hard effort. I honestly would have destroyed my S2 by now if it weren't for you's (I literally smashed my iPhone 3Gs into powder with a hammer when i got my S2) :good::good::D:victory::highfive:

Wifi not working: wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface

I have been using CM 9.1 until now and wanted to check if CM 10.1 works on my i9100. I downloaded the latest nightly (cm-10.1-20130430-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip), booted into recovery and did a full factory reset, wiped cache and wiped dalvik cache before installing the update.

Everything works except the wireless. Turning it on in the interface makes it look like it's stuck. This is the (probably) relevant part of a logcat session:

After this, it goes into a loop of trying to enable the interface and starts draining the battery. A full logcat from boot until the problem has occurred can be found here: pastebin.com/HZdgjwQD (can't post link since I'm a new user).

I tried an earlier nightly as well (cm-10.1-20130426-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip), with the same result. I'm back on 9.1 now and wireless works there, so it shouldn't be a hardware issue.

Did anyone else experience this issue? Is there a fix? Did I do something wrong? Going back to 9.1 after a few minutes on 10.1 seems like going back in time to the 1930's. ;)

Hi guys, someone will think this is a trivial matter but for me it's not. Is the default browser's zoom option from settings being fixed? I tried to search through the changelog but i saw nothing. To be sure i ask you guys.
[Galaxy S II General] ph3n0mII:
Could be leftovers from something.

Personally, if i ever come across a bug or misfunctionality that nobody else appears to have, I flash GS2ROMNuke, though GS2KernelWipe might suffice in alot of cases.

Fisrt backup anything important from your internal SD to somewhere else. The instructions pretty much say boot to cwm recovery (have GS2ROMNuke, cm10.1 nightly and GApps ready on external SD), flash the GS2ROMNuke zip then flash cm10.1 (+gapps if u like), then reboot, 'perhaps' doing a factory reset right before rebooting for good measure.

Do not write anything on it, get your card into your pc and use a recovery tool.

Had the same issue before a month or so and recovered pretty much everything.

Thanks for your advice. I tried both GS2ROMNuke and the kernel wipe by themselves, as well as with a combination of manually wiping cache/factory resetting/..., with the same result. I also tried flashing today's nightly (cm-10.1-20130501-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip) via CWM, same result. :/

I feel sorry for you mate. So many times I was tempted to try ROM's like paranoid, slimbean and others. But all those ROM's are based out of either CM or Samsung. So I'll keep myself off from that urge. Your experience is really a valuable lesson for all, I should say. If you go for custom ROM's CM is the only way in AOSP/AOKP field.

Hello there!

I am on 01/05 Nightly and I am dealing with two problem since...many Nightlies back!

1) Whenever I boot my phone or on random timese, when I press the Home button, my phone asks for which launcher I want to use!

Every single time I select Nova Launcher and then I press at always - all is good, but noone knows for how long!

Here is the picture: (I hope the sharing works!)

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9ShTinvekdEaGkwQXdyYVVaREE/edit?usp=sharing

2) I have set in Power Widget on the Notification drawer the button to toggle the Network Mode between 2G and 3G only.

Sometimes though, the 2G and 3G mode gets enabled by its own and shows up as 2G|3G mode, although I have not enabled it!

Tried clean install, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, fixed permissions.

Just wanted to ask if someone can confirm these problems and if someone knows a solution!

Excuse me for my English.

Keep up the good work guys!

[Galaxy S II General] ph3n0mII:
Hmmm.. unless there's some 'cm10.1 incompatible' app interfering with your wifi somehow, the only other things I can think of are:

1). Take battery out for over 20 mins (for good measure).

2). There was a bug in one of the ICS stock roms at one stage where 'some people' had wifi problems and the only way known at the time to fix it besides full wipe was: (with wifi, gps and bluetooth all turned off first): turn on wifi, wait a few seconds, turn on gps, wait a few seconds, turn on bluetooth, wait a few seconds, then repeat the process in the same order (wifi off, wait few seconds, etc), then reboot and try same thing in reverse order possibly if it doesnt work. This sucessfully worked the one time it happened to me.

3). From CWM Recovery: mount then format ALL partitions except /efs and /sdcard then flash cm10.1 etc

4). Flash stock via odin using a stock rom that contains .pit file (and dont forget to pit :p)

5). Double-flash cm10.1 : after first flash + factory reset, reboot straight into cwm and flash and wipe again before actually booting the rom

5). Flash back to stock and call in warranty if its still covered. About 4 months ago I had a problem where my camera/gallery suddenly kept FC'ing. No amount of clearing gallery data/cache, wiping or restoring roms/partitions or factory resets fixed it, even crashed on stock ROM, so I sent it off to samsung, came back a week later all fixed and the only thing on report said they 'upgraded' my rom from stock 4.0.4 to stock 4.0.4 factory pre-release :rolleyes:

Good luck, hope u get it solved. :good:

CM & GS 4

Steve Kondik posted on Facebook that he worked on CM for the device. Looks like the resistance against Samsung's new flagship is cracking up. I personally think that CM can't ignore this phone which is supposed to achieve sales of >80 mil p.a. Besides, it would be a pity if one of the best custom ROMs couldn't exist with one of the best Android phones. It's like Formula 1 without Ferrari, isn't it? ;o))

Hello to all.. I am new on CM, started from 0425..

Been updating since..

But on 0430 noticed something, don't know is it a bug or just new feature..

When i want to turn up/down volume, doesn't matter if it is about ringtone, music player, incall speaker, i can hear sound of leveling but no visual leveling on display..

Also, when on custom ringtone, there is no looping of ringtone, it rings until sound ends and thats it.. When i switched to default ringtones, it was working fine..

Been reading change logs, and didn't see anything about some new features like this..

Any advice?

P.S.: I'm now on 0501 CM, have tried downgrading to 0426, no change, did wipe cache, dalvik, and fixing perms, no change, only didn't do full wipe, since i moved to CM..

I know that Trebuchet is the default CM launcher, but is it necessary to use that one only?

I mean, we can't use any other Launcher?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Darius_bd:
Surething you can use another, but you wont get support in this thread about the Nova Launcher, that would have to be on that app's thread. That being said, that you have to select the default launcher every time you reboot is darn weird for sure. Yet, I dont think it's a CM problem. Have you tried uninstalling the Buzz Launcher? Maybe it tries to register itself as the main launcher at boot by clearing the defaults or something.

sd card bug and icons disappearance

Hello everybody,

I've started using this ROM a week ago. From the first day I encountered some problems:

1. Phone cannot detect SD card. The option "Mount SD card" is dimmed. SD card works fine on computer and on other Android devices.

2. Storage -> Erase SD card option erased all internal storage! Glad i did a backup of all files before installing this ROM.

3. Icons on other screens disappear. If I swipe to another screen the icons there are gone. I then have to open menu and close it - then the icons reappear - but only on current screen. Sometimes everything is OK, but i can't reproduce when - it's totally random.

4. Battery life - terrible. Earlier with CheckRom + silyah (can't remember the correct spelling) + voltage control I could get 3-5 days. Now its 2 days max.

Paul.
