[Galaxy S II General] gaz_5:
First up, apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place, I'm looking for some help with the process of getting Cyanogenmod onto my SII.

I've had the phone for a couple of years and, way back at the beginning, flashed CF-Root to it in order to get CWM. Since then I've not really done anything in terms of flashing (lost all time as my daughter came along!).

Phone Model: GT-I9100

Android Version: 2.3.5

Baseband: I9100XXKI4

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ1-CL647431 root@DELL150 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKJ1

I have CWM Manager (v3.0) on there and it lists the current Kernel as CF-Root 5.0

All the instructions that I've been able to find start with the caveat: "The install guide assumes the device is already running stock Android 4.x."

I'm assuming from that warning that I probably cant just flash straight from where I'm at to the latest Cyanogenmod, I'll have to go through the interim step of installing an earlier version of Cyangoen and maybe even an updated Kernel for this to work.

Being a relative noob to all of this I'm struggling to figure the best way forward. Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of (at a high level, not looking to be spoon fed) the steps I should go through to get to the latest stable Cyanogenmod?

Cheers,

Gary

hey guys,

when i try to use the cm installer it says that my device is not supported. i dont know whats the problem, because i've upgraded my I9100 from stock to 10.2 viac cm installer before. currently im running the resurrection remix 4.4.2 and i'd like to go back to CM 10.2 stable installer version, i accidentally deleted my nandroid backup of this rom so i cant try it this way. thank you
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
I would recommend a more failsafe way, grab the cyanogenmod installer, follow all steps until you've got cm10.2 running on your device, then decide if you're ready to try cm11 (kk), it's worth it,

For a beginner this would be the road to go, imho.

Just put Rom and gapps onto your sd card, wipe system and flash Rom + gapps, if booting fails, do a factory reset.

[Galaxy S II General] blank800:

i just flashed the normal gapps for 4.3

that folder is empty like no logs at all. btw, i just reflash and rewipe all the content. hopefully the log will not grow again.
[Galaxy S II General] nicoX:
I used to have lagging issues, and phone being slow when I was on 10.1.

10.2 is smooth and beautiful. Yet I can recommend freezing some systemapps to make the device run more smoothly:

Themechooser

Torch

Voice+

DSP Manager

Calculator

Filemanager

Messages (imp to have a thirdp app)

Contacts and dialer. Keep phone, in case for emergency dialer when the phone is locked (imp to have a thirdp app)

Webbrowser

Movie Studio

Search on Google

Android keyboard (AOSP) (imp to have a thirdp app)

Google+

Using nightly 2601. Not able to send email with photo attachment.

Email app just keeps hanging on sync, and the email never leaves outbox.

Reflashed gapps. AOK.

I don't know what I have done, but when I start my phone and upon when I enter my password I get a pop-up saying installation guide has been stopped. I click ok, and it just pops up again. I flashed it when newest nightly with GApps, although it doesn't fix it.

Prior to this I got problems with Google Play. It stopped working.

update

Hi,

did new update will be released ?
[Galaxy S II General] highdiver_2000:
Wow might as well go back to a feature phone?
[Galaxy S II General] nicoX:
I have run into problems. My Google Play don't work. It's just loads, and says connection dropped after a time.

I might have messed it up as a system service as I was going to freeze some things, trigger happy fingers might have uninstalled something instead of freezing.

I made a clean format install of the latest nightly and Gapps.

Problem was keyboard didn't work. I freezed system keyboard in previous nightly, but this was a clean install, so shouldn't all services be there. What's going on?

Now I'm back from last nightly from a backup, but Play still don't work. Can I do something to fix it?
[Galaxy S II General] highdiver_2000:
Wipe system and data. Flash Ro and gapps. Clear cache. Reboot. After Google sign in. Turn on airplane mode. Check apn correctness. Turn off airplane mode.

Plug in charger and wait.

about CM11

Hi, i`m just wondering why nobody talks about cm11 nightlies? Is there some other theme about them? I`m talking about the roms from this thread in download... it opens the cyanogenmod page and there is a cm11 i9100 roms... now i see some called SNAPSHOT? what is this? thanks!

Something is insane here. I unfreezed the keyboard. I wiped system/data, flashed snapshot and Gapps. When I'm in, I get Android keyboard has stopped. Also some other google.location services.

I can't use the keyboard, I can't do anything...

Edit:

Got it right now, flashed a nightly from January, which I used to run on. I don't know if it's something wrong with the newest nightly and snapshot, or is it because I wiped Dalvik cache after the flash procedure, after I had wiped the cache. But I think I always do that.

any kagiant

Hi people.

How are you?

Anyone have the latest version of CM 10.2, before leaving the CM 11?
[Galaxy S II General] doctor_droid:
Hey :)

There is one by grift ..and one by infected...

Grift's release is present in this thread (look at the right side for most thanked) ;)

If u want a linaro optimised build.. Headover to android developmemt section and search for infected's thread of cm10.2

Both builds are 10.2.1 :)
[Galaxy S II General] mario_mak:
Hi :)

And the 10.2 official CyanogenMod nightly builds?

I search and only against version 28/09/2013.
[Galaxy S II General] Beakuh:
How stable or bugfree is this CM version??? This isla a final build??? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] Markox89:
Let's say that if you still use CM 10.2, this build is the most stable and bug free you'll ever find :)
[Galaxy S II General] RoRo1990:
Hmm I upgraded from 10.1rc2 to 10.2 grifts. Installed rom then gapps. Rebooted worked fine for a few hours then while I was browsing chrome I was searching for something in the search bar the phone froze had to reboot and was stuck at the samsung screen. I didn't use titanium backup at all btw. I am able to boot into download and recovery modes. Went back to 10.1 for now. Any idea what caused this?
[Galaxy S II General] doctor_droid:
Always suggested to do a clean install ... :/

However wid cm10.2 the after the first reboot... the phone stays at sammy logo for quite long (sometimes 3-5minutes)

Then it boots normally. .

So I suggest u to wait at the samsung bootlogo
[Galaxy S II General] RoRo1990:
I did say I Booted fine the first time :/. After I was using it for a few hours it froze and I did wait around 20mins for it to boot back up but it stayed

play store does not work

Installed Grift 10.2.1 on top of CM2601. Play store does not work.

:confused:

Update:

Reflashed gapps. Now everything works normally, so far.

(this was not a "clean" install)
[Galaxy S II General] francwalter:
I tried it this morning, but now I noticed that my app "Tasker" (very important!) is not anymore installed. OK, tried to restore from backup (Titanium, as well very important, but still present) and this not possible!

Neither installable from new apk!

There is some weird thing in this 10.2.1.grift ROM. There were other weird things, no sound notification in k9mail anymore, but I didn't get into the details.

So I restored the backup from before 10.2.1, this ROM is not working on my phone then.

Once again this tells me: NEVER play with a ROM without previous and working nandroid backup! Never never never.

frank

EDIT: I absolutely don't recommend to try this Grift's 10.2.1 without working and fresh nandroid Backup. It is likely that it will be totally buggy, so most likely it is neccessary to revert to the backup.

Missing CM 10.2 nightlies on download.cyanogenmod.org

Hi everybody,

I've been running CM-10.201401120-NIGHTLY-i9100, and would like to upgrade to the last 10.2 nightly. I won't move to cm11 because I prefere a stable-ish platform.

When I looked on https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100 I could not see a CM 10.2 later than 10.2 experimental STK, or CM11 or CM10.1.3.

Did they remove the CM 10.2 files, and if so then would somebody know why they did? :(

Regards, f
[Galaxy S II General] Jaazish:
Don't know why CM removed it, but it's available here:

http://goo.im/devs/cm/i9100/nightly
[Galaxy S II General] francwalter:
Nope. Newest is from 2013-12-10 but there is nightly from februar 2014 for 10.2

Amazing where they are?
[Galaxy S II General] speedtriple99:
As mentioned in an earlier post I also had problems. When just flashing grift10.2.1 on top of CM2601, Google Play would not work.

Several apps disappeared, for instance Endomondo, even though the app logo still was present on the screen...

Also the Wifi and 3G symbol in the status-bar never would turn blue, just gray....

But when reflashing gapps after grift10.2.1 everything is back to normal. So my experience for the last few days is that grift10.2.1 is working without any issues so far, but maybe it can't be flashed on top of previuos versions without precautions, and possibly best is a new clean install?
[Galaxy S II General] sergio_sos:
Grift's version of CM10.2.1 is working perfect for me, I have it since it was shared here.

I too experienced some issues the first time I flashed it, so my second try was reflashing with gapps installation afterwards and only clean cache, no need for clean install. All working fine and no time wasted :good:
[Galaxy S II General] francwalter:
Yes! Some Apps disappeared (Locus I remember), but icon still present! Same had I. I didn't even check Google Play.

So which gapps exactly did you flash after Grifts? The "gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip" are good?

Would like to try again, especially because there is no risk with a working nandroid (onandroid I used) :)
[Galaxy S II General] speedtriple99:
Yes, gapps for 4.3: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
[Galaxy S II General] francwalter:
Now seems to work, thank you.

Did it again, installed immediately the Gapps behind the 10.2.1 and voilah! Tasker and the other apps not dissapeered.

Seems to work :)

Had to reinstall Xposed, no problem this.

Will quote later if I can say more...

Thank.

I'm currently on a CM 10.2 (4.3) nightly build. I want to upgrade to CM 11 (4.4).

Is this all that is required as I'm coming from a previous CM version.

- CM11 ZIP to your SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM11 zip from SDCard

- Flash GApps zip from SDCard

- Reboot

Do I need to download and flash a new GApps? There doesn't seem to be a download for GApps with KitKat on this website. So I'm assuming the current GApps I have will suffice?

Can someone provide some clarification? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] doctor_droid:

[Galaxy S II General] highdiver_2000:
Sorry no idea, did not follow.. Saw a couple of posts on a music problem. Tested, so far so good. Music was playing for 2 hours straight.

The only problem is that Rocket Player did not display info (Title, Album, Performer) on the current song, whereas Aviate did.

Someone knows how or if it is possilbe to add some quick buttons to the CM Stock Camera, so I can fastly switch between 8 MP pictures with JPEG-Quality: high and 1.3 MP pictures with JPEG Quality: low?

To change this, I need a lot of clicks which is inconvenient and sometimes just too long, to do a fast snapshot.

Often I take high quality pictures, but sometimes, quite often as well, I just need some minor quality pics with not so big size (high quality is about 2-3 MB, low quality down to 60 KB only!).

At the moment I use two different camera apps, the stock one for low quality pictures and "A Better Camera" for high res. pictures, but I would prefer to just use the stock camera app just with fast access to different settings.

This possible?

Maybe a widget for this exists?

Thank, frank
[Galaxy S II General] francwalter:
Someone knows at least if possible to add a way to have a camera button with press on the Volume button?
[Galaxy S II General] francwalter:
I see, CM10.2 is abandoned, everybody switched to CM11 I guess ;)

I found a solution to my problem with Volume button a camera button: The Xposed module "Xposed Additions", where I can set some new functions for the physical keys (in the paid version):

Buttons / Add new key / Volume up (and later down for the same) / Add new condition / Load application list / Galerie (the CM-camera app is called this) / Click Action / Camera

In the free version also possible without the paid feature "Application List" (and choose there the Gallery as CM-camera app) but condition Screen on and long press on Volume (to be able to still use the volume button normally).

But this less comfortable.

Iv been trying out CM11, but there are one or two showstopper bugs still..
[Galaxy S II General] Yokurt815:
Can't tell you, I don't have games on my phone.

How is the procedure to move back to CM10.2from CM11? Any problems?
[Galaxy S II General] jl10101:
Ah OK, will giv it a try myself then sometime this weekend :)

As far as I know, its a mess. So what I did when I was testing CM11, is make a complete nandroid backup and titanium app backup. Then to migrate SMS and call logs, create a backup using SMS backup apps, and to migrate Whatsapp messages to CM11, just copy the whole "Whatsapp" folder from the phones storage to my PC and copy it back to the clean ROM, install Whatsapp and simply restore the messages.

All the other apps I would install once I spent a day making sure I was happy with the ROM.

Basically, clean install either way because there are big differences, especially with GAPPS and apps compatibility :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Yokurt815:
OK, thanks for the info. I guess I wait a bit more before testing CM11.
[Galaxy S II General] highdiver_2000:
Ok here is what I did to upgrade.
