Hi! I have really stupid and noob question. First of all sorry for that, I know that on this forum is 1000000 guides but I can't find a proper answer for my question. Today I bought S2 and I want to install cm 10.1, and question is what to install first? I'm on stock GB and I don't know what to install, should I install some kernel or official ICS / official JB or I can root and install cwm on GB and then install cm 10.1? Please someone answer and don't be angry :)
[Galaxy S II General] lerkin:
Sell it and buy i9100g or nexus or something else.

How do I disable (or better) remove the new baked in superuser app from the flashable zip?

[Galaxy S II General] bubba949:
I'd flash official jb first to be safe then flash cm 10.1 afterwards.
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
If you can't follow the simple instructions in the OP, then please don't flash this ROM. Not until you've done enough research. (Hint: exact same question was asked/answered extensively in last couple of days)
[Galaxy S II General] Skully☺:
Batterylife for me is just as good now as it was before the Android 4.2.2 updates mid-february. I loose about 1% each 1-2 hours with wifi and syncing on. With mobile internet on battery life is a bit less good, but not much.

See my signature for further reading about battery life.

When an app is giving problems you can always try this combination:

1. Settings, Apps, All, <your app>, Wipe data ( note: name of camera app = Gallery)

2. Recovery:

- wipe cache partition

- advanced: wipe Dalvik cache, fix permissions

You can also try System Tweaks to disable services and apps. See also http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32327122&postcount=16039.

OTG is working fine for my. However, my USB stick is formatted as FAT32. My NTFS stick is not recognized.

If your stick is NTFS formatted, you can search the Play store for NTFS. It 'll give you some hits. However, I haven't tried them yet.

Your question is answered in the first post of this thread (the OP=Opening Post):

If getting a proper CWM-recovery is too difficult, use the noob-proof method described in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419102. The kernel does not have the mmc superbrick bug.

This will give you a CWM-Recovery, root and CM9. Then continue to follow the quoted instructions.

If you don't know how to use Odin: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13712988#post13712988.

I agree: first read about what you're about to do, click on all the links that are on the pages you're reading and remember it is YOU who decides to flash. So have a proper backup strategy before you decide to flash.

See my signature for some links that may come in handy if you're new on XDA.
[Galaxy S II General] kicksilver:
I'd suggest upgrading to stock JB through Odin, then flashing Siyah kernel (through Odin, too) and then flashing CM10.1 through CWM.

Always wiping data, cache and dalvik cache after every step.
[Galaxy S II General] lerkin:
Yeah, better wipe those caches twice each time and consider to invite Voodoo adept to support your flashing process with some magic.

[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Battery life depends on many variables. I'm getting the same battery life now as i have done for last few months - the rom hasn't changed in this respect.
[Galaxy S II General] tompok82:
This is how I do it, if someone see something wrong with it, do correct me.

Update to official stock JB 4.1.2 (I use Nordic Countries).

Once the update is complete, turn off your phone & then boot to stock recovery. In stock recovery, flash PhilZ kernel to root + CWM.

Reboot to recovery, then format everything then flash CM10.1 then flash GApps then reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Was quite a problem for me. Just clear data for camera.
[Galaxy S II General] nicogri:
Soooooo it was really really bugging me.

After calling Orange to check if tethering was correct in my plan and they reset my line it was no better.

I tried all the latest nightlies... No better...

I tried factory reset to start new. No better... Ap powers up, can connect to it, get an IP but no internet data threw...

So I restored my Rom as it was before

I tried barnacle foxfi wifi tether for root user... No success only forceclose and not working ap (I think no app is compatible with 4.2.2)

So I tried à last thing before technically killing myself (going back to stock rom)

I downloaded 20130216 which I think was the last working one before big bang. Flashed it over my 20130309 and world of wonders / miracle : native wifi tethering is working !!!

So I think there is a problem with something that come on 02/18 but what ?

Anyway I think that if it works I am gonna stick to it for a while.

Ps2 : about still display 4.2.2 but with 02/16 build number
[Galaxy S II General] tompok82:
Damn, the battery consumption on the current nightly is really really high.

1% drop in less than 1 hour after a full charge. Screen off the whole time. :(

Only happens with CM10.1 for S2. CM10.1 for G Note 1 is working perfectly, only 1% drop in 6 hours while I sleep.

[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Guys,I noticed the , location service was going mad in the recent nightlies, do you analyze your drain or does it just feel like more drain even with the same percentage of deepsleep vs. Awake?

[Galaxy S II General] Mark ter Grote:
i there a way to get TWRP on this rom ?
[Galaxy S II General] octessence:
Just switch you phone off and leave it in a draw that will solve the battery drain.

Seriously though. 1%/hour is about as good as you get with any ROM unless you disable absolutely everything and end up with an offline ereader.
[Galaxy S II General] lerkin:
Wrong, should be not more than 5% per 8 hours during the night with WiFi or data and sync. There is something wrong with deep sleep (no wakelocks or excessive alarms), I think WiFi drains too much even in deep sleep.

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

What is your battery life now with WiFi and sync enabled during deep sleep, during night?
[Galaxy S II General] Kaiserbenn:
5% vs 8%... Knowing how precise is the battery gauge, that means nothing in my opinion...

So you are worried about 3% over 8 hours? Normal people just charge their phone during the night and sleep easy knowing that it will be on 100% in the morning.
[Galaxy S II General] Sugarkryptonite:
I went back to 2/17 nightly...I'm not sure exactly when it started going wacky but that's when I restored to because it's what I had on hand.

Possible...but I have all location services set to off...would it still do it with them off?

And yes I do analyze the drain and it is definitely noticable. I can get ~4 hours of screen time with the 2/17 nightly, yet basically like 1.5-2 hours on the latest nightlies. Nothing shows as excessive in BBB, no wakelocks...

Hi there!

i am running cm9 atm and thinking about changing to cm10.1.

now i have 2 questions:

I read a lot about battery drain issues since 28.2 so i am thinking of installing 27.2 to avoid these.

or would you recommend me the latest nightly because some ppl also report not much difference in battery drain in the latest vs an older one.

any nightly to recommend specifically or just go for the latest? (it is really hard to read over the last x hundred pages to get all relevent information :))

what is important for me is battery life (with and without wifi) and functionality of the camera mainly and no SOD issues (battery lasts about 2 days on my current build with my current usage).

thanks for any tips / hints / suggestions!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014269 this would be your best bet. And the CM launcher is and always has been Trebuchet, not Nova.

[Galaxy S II General] amititzhaki:
must say the battery life for me in the latest nightlies is pretty good too. i'm getting about 3.5 hours of screen time, and the phone lasts about a day, which has always been pretty good for me and my usage patterns.

i realize other people might find these stats not so good, but i'm using a lot of background syncing and apps, so for me it's extremely satisfying.

so, for new guys thinking of using cm10.1, while some people have issues with the battery life, for some of us it's not bad at all. so try and see for yourself.

other than that, the phone is smooth and stable. i know i'm about the millionth guy saying this, but.. great job devs! :)

Hi,

I have a 18 month old S2 and did have gingerbread on it. So rooted it and put ICS on it and have now changed the ROMS a few times. Very simple to do.

But now i would like JB on it and need to change the kernel and not 100% of doing it.

Can someone confirm this is the correct way.

I need to open odin and flash this file

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118693

Via PDA when phone is in download mode (volume/power/home)

And then after this has been done can put any ROM on it that contains JB.

And is this the best rom for JB atm?

Does this look ok to everyone?

@BaileyB: Since you rooted your phone already, just download the latest nightly and GApps, and flash them as instructed in the OP.
[Galaxy S II General] bar-aka:
>And then after this has been done can put any ROM on it that contains JB.

I hope you don't mean any ROM for any device. It has to be a ROM that is specifically for your phone (i9100? i9100G? etc.)

If you want support on this thread, then you have to flash the official CM10.1 ROM:

http://www.get.cm/?device=i9100

The above link is for i9100 so make sure your phone is that exact model.

Also don't flash custom kernels (won't get support here)
[Galaxy S II General] manulemaboul:
Or, for both of you, start by reading what project butter is, than search the thread for what the devs said about Vsync, triple buffering and cpu boost on touch.

You'll find that yes, CM10.1 got all of these.

No issues here. Try deleting the app data of the Phone app.

Confirm whether the md5 sum is a match to the one available for download from goo.im. The file size seems right but to confirm the integrity of the download you need to compare md5 hash.

Siyah kernel always has come with CWM so if you don't have it then you've done something wrong. Get CWM & follow the instructions in the OP.
