That has been done already. No result. Just additional promise (sources released by end of 2012) and still the same bull****. We have been ****ed up in the ass by samsung, that's the end of the story. Spamming them is just to let our frustration go because they just don't care. 2 flagships have been released the s2, we won't get any attention from Samsung. Or maybe a fake one, additional promises...

I'm done with Samsung. My s2 is my first and last Samsung phone ever. I just hope CM will maintain 10.1 some additional months for our s2. Because its very unlikely we'll see CM 11 on this phone, because of Samsung behavior.

We ll see if you are still happy after CM drops officially s2 support.;)
[Galaxy S II General] ohwarumbloss:
Samsung gave me 4.1.2 and with a little bit of own effort and the help of several good themers it's very OK.

DorimanX gave me Kernel to dual boot Sammy and CM which is very OK.

CyanogenMod gave me 4.2.2 which is, looking at all the problems they had due to Samsung, more than very OK.

If they drop their support its not nice but its OK till I move to next phone.

If you can't change something, live with it. And make the best out of it.

One question:

It isnt this the source code for gs2?

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/15/samsung-released-the-source-code-of-the-gt-i9100/
[Galaxy S II General] johnmambo:
Really?

Guys what's that all about ?

I've been using CM on my i9100 since CM9. I was curious and tested the JB 4.1.2 official rom from Samsung. All i can say is that CM 10.1 for our device is WAY better.

I don't know about you guys, but CM 10.1 works GREAT on my i9100.

Stop all that shi* cause what would be really bad is to lose support from the CM team for our device.

Btw im also using CM 10.1 on my Galaxy Tab 2 and works great too.

So all i can do is to be grateful for this guys. :D

Hello,

I am on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean XWLSD, I've flashed the SpeedMod K5-3 Kernel so I've le CWM 5.0 Recovery.

My question is:

is there any risk to flash the CM10.1 ROM ?

Thanks for answers :D :D :D :D
[Galaxy S II General] edzamber:
@sadekmefti,

No, you need CWM 6.0.x

Flash Siyha v6.05b or DorimanX 8.13 before...

[Galaxy S II General] pamarakos:
Really, is this??
[Galaxy S II General] :
It says kernel sources. That's not everything developers need.
[Galaxy S II General] pamarakos:
Thanks for the clarification:(

Anyways...
[Galaxy S II General] sadekmefti:
I don't want to flash Siyah for the simple reason that I don't want to have Siyah logo at every Boot. Latest PhilZ Kernel is Ok without Root ? But if I have to Flash the Siyah Kernel I'll do it, it's a perfect Kernel :D

Are you sure I'll not have any problem when flashing CM10.1 using this new CWM recovery ?
[Galaxy S II General] edzamber:
Try and see. If you have error 7 at installation it come from this. If you flash CM10.1, you wont have any logo at boot because CM10.1 have his own kernel ;) Siyha is just for have possibility to flash CM10.1 Rom. After flash, Siyha is gone ;)

Posté via Vanilla Rootbox
[Galaxy S II General] sadekmefti:
So if I have an error at installation it's not dangerous, it will not brick my phone like when using Odin ?

I have decided to flash the Siyah kernel :D :D
[Galaxy S II General] edzamber:
No you don't risk any brick. Just installation aborded ;)

Posté via Vanilla Rootbox
[Galaxy S II General] sadekmefti:
WaaaaW SOOOO COOOOOL

So every flash via CWM is whitout any risk ? if this is the case I will flash everything I found (which is flashable via cwm of course) :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II General] :
Not sure about hardware dangers but when "flashing everything" you may get a soft brick and have to restore a backup/set up everything again/...
[Galaxy S II General] Coirpre:
the only risk in CWM is if you do a factory reset within CWM, and he kernel has the BrickBug. I am not up to date, but last time i checked, that included all STOCK SAMSUNG kernels of 4.0.4 or newer. no probs with custom kernels, remove the BrickBug is the first thing they do.
[Galaxy S II General] azunino:
Similar experience here. The official ROMs from Samsung have been very problematic in my case: battery drains, slowdowns (forcing me to reboot the phone from time to time), the media scanner craziness, and the ugly touchwiz ui... With Samsung JB my battery lasts less than 1day, with CM10.1 almost 2 days using the same apps and same battery (with Samsung JB there are many wakelocks). I have not tried any Samsung JB based-ROMs because CM10.1 works fine as is.

IMHO CM10.1 is super stable. As a secondary phone I use a SGS Captivate, which gets M releases, and compared to that the i9100 CM10.1 is on par in terms of stability.

I'm one of the lucky users who do not have hangs/SODs playing games, I've never used the FM radio or a dock. Besides if Samsung sells millions of phones with semi-stable ROMs, the i9100 CM team should be more than proud of their achievements considering CM10.1 quality is superior in most aspects than that of the Samsung ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] termagazis:
hi guys.i am interesting on buy this phone and i would like to know if everything works right in CM10 roms.if not which are the bugs or problems?i care more for radio,bluetooth,camera and tv-out.Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Kirot:
Radio: SpiritFM

Bluetooth: Works fine for most people

Camera: Pictures kinda grainy

Tv-out: Does not work, will never work, don't ask for it
[Galaxy S II General] termagazis:
thanks.do you know if tv-out work in CM10?
[Galaxy S II General] Kirot:
Like I said
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
don't do that.

no nexus4 in your country?
[Galaxy S II General] termagazis:
yes there is but i like galaxy s2 very much

ok.i thought maybe is something different in CM10 than CM10.1
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
The Nexus 4 isn't that perfect... Pure Android is nice but missing sdslot, bad battery life, bad camera, non removable battery are not that great... Price is good but I'll pay more for sdslot and camera.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
still 8gb left, no need for a slot.

battery life is better than on my s2.

camera is good enough for me.

i never replaced a battery.

probably costs less than s2.

so what now?
[Galaxy S II General] Kaiserbenn:
Oh, I'll live with it until my s2 die. But I'm pissed off by Samsung which was supposed to be dev friendly at the time I bought my s2. That was not the case. So they won't see my money again. Ever.

Oh, and thanks CM for making this phone good. Otherwise with TW it's just a piece of crap.

[Galaxy S II General] Mark ter Grote:
exactly cody wise words.... i gonna buy also a n4 when my contract is ended and mybe then there is a n5 but i will stick to the nexus for ever
[Galaxy S II General] MorpheousMarty:
I've had to replace my battery, but looking at the iFixit teardown of the N4, it's nowhere near as bad as having to wait an unknown amount of time for Samsung to fix something, including crucial security flaws.

The N4 camera is about as good as the SII, I really couldn't recommend this phone to anyone anymore unless it gets cheaper than an N4.
[Galaxy S II General] szymko1995:
In my country n4 costs as much as minimal month salary (half of medium salary). 400 euro is kinda much. While s2 costs about 200 euro in Poland.

[Galaxy S II General] sadekmefti:
So it's not very dangerous. If I flash a Kernel via CWM 5.0.X to get CWM 6.0.X (Siyah Kernel), I'm not going to have a Soft brick
[Galaxy S II General] vortox:
Depends on the user. My brother has an N4 16GB and has almost no space left. My s2 would be full without sdcard.

I've seen that by my brothers N4 too, but he uses it more often than i use my s2. So he has to charge it more often :D

I dont like the battery life on both devices.

Its not bad, you can absolutly live with it.

same here.

In germany the s2 costs 10€ less than N4 8GB.

In fact the N4 is one of the best phones out there, but somehow i dont really like it.
[Galaxy S II General] pamarakos:
1st of all I don't know why you hate so much s2....ok sammie made its mistake...BUT s2 is f**** beautiful compared even with N4 which is newer and many many other phones

2nd Nobody in i9000 cm10.1 thread writes with so much hate for their devices....come on people it's a very quick phone, nothing gives a really really big issue and it's working really nice!!

Stop blaming a beautiful phone you chose earlier yourselves!!

Concerning SD slot, it's the way someone uses his phone!! Think of recording an HD Video with the cam full hd, you are out of space in no time, so maybe external sd is a good thing for a phone to be able to use!! Not to mention latest games (rr3, asphalt6-7 .....)

Anyways...
[Galaxy S II General] Kaiserbenn:
The full power of this device can not be exploited due to Samsung behavior. This is a fact. With sources, it would really be great phone with still a bright future. Without sources, it's a near to dead phone.

[Galaxy S II General] highdiver_2000:
I love my S2. Even more with CM10. Played with CM10.1 briefly before the power drain and other issues got under my skin.and went back to CM10.

Sadly all good things must come to an end. Lately I am having response problem with the home button. When the device is awake and unlocked, I need to press a few times to jump from app to homescreen. I fear it is a mechanical defect.

So what is a good "latest-1" model for replacement? I was considering about S3, but CM10.1 does not to be better than on S2.

Please don't say N4 as it is not available here and there is no aftermarket (cases, screen protectors) support.

Sony?

Do you have GNow activated? Would be interesting. Because I think GNow is the biggest Battery eater since it came to our phones.

Doesn't matter if I'm on Sammy or on CM, without GNow Battery drain on standby is very OK. (0,5% per hour) with mobile data on, Whatsapp&Facebook&Email sync on.

Er HTC? Codeworkx is headed at the One too and that phone is definitely my choice over S4. From Singapore telcos its likely to be the Snapdragon Quadcore version, same as HTC One. And so I choose Design + Quality ( Personal Preference ) They also have that free services where they come to your home to get the phone and later send it back to you after repairs ASAP.

@kurty

The sooner you accept the fact, that the S2 is old hardware and seriously impaired by the lack of support from Samsung, the sooner you'll learn to accept that the Z is not a bad phone. Just because you can't accept that your beloved S2 is outdated and not the king of the pack anymore, doesn't make the Z worse. You're trying to find points to make the Nexus 4 or Xperia Z look bad all the time.

I saw you posting in the Z thread already a few weeks ago and you seemed interested. I know because I was there too and looking around what's going on there. I don't have a Z, but if I would buy a new phone in the future, the Z would definetly be a very good choice.

It offers smooth operations, thin waistline, a great display, stunning looks, a premium feel and waterproofness. Don't tell me this is rubbish. Ever been in a heavy rain while constantly being afraid that your phone could get so wet, even if in your bag, that it'll break it? This is a real danger and I would be glad to have a phone which makes me not worry about this anymore. Or take the sports type. He/she too would be glad to have a phone which is immune to sweat or water splashes. Also, the feature doesn't make the phone ugly.

Anyways, the S4 looks quite ugly and dev support will be low. Also it's from Samsung. After the debacle with the S2, nobody who cares about custom roms should ever by from them again! As simple as that. HTC? If the HTC One is not a sucess, then they'll be in serious trouble. Moreover, no SD slot, poor camera and bootloader unlock very difficult. LG? Oh, I remember their sucessful upgrade path in the past, which frankly, does not exist.

There's only Nexus and Sony left. Nexus is not for me because of the lack of microSD support. So the closest you can buy is from Sony. Great community support by Sony, adhering to the rules of open source.

That's it.

While I am at it..... I am following this thread since December and have flashed about 5 nightlies. I am one of the fortunates who never had any serious problems. All basic phone functions are working, all apps are working 100% except for some misbehaving apps that are probably not fully compatible with JB 4.2.2. As far as I am concerned the nightly I am presently on (0404) could be declared a stable release. However, a lot of users still report problems which brings me to the question what are the criteria to declare a release candidate or stable release? Another question would be what is the time frame given to find a stable release? Is there a cut off time? Maybe the senior members or codeworkx could shed some light on this? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] robdood:
IIRC it's in the developer options in Chrome itself.

I hadn't made the association, but I recently disabled that option and never get any problems with the tilt sensor any more. Bizarre!

[Galaxy S II General] Invicta:
have you actually played more than 2 days with one? the screen is actually worse than youtube reviews or a sneak peak in a store. Its not that youre gonna look at it at a straight angle, anything less than 80 degrees is awful. I mean ok its crisp and colors are nice, but the viewing angles are awful period.
[Galaxy S II General] MorpheousMarty:
My 2 cents:

I don't know when viewing angles became a thing, but I had an iPhone 3G, which did not have great viewing angles and I never cared, so as long as it's not worse than that, I know it's not a problem for me. If the Z's viewing angles are an issue for you, well then don't buy one, just like if it is an issue for you that the N4 will die in water, don't buy one.

However I wonder how many people that say the Z has a **** screen, never even noticed one of their old phones had a worse viewing angle, and suddenly decide to care.
