I appreciate your blunt honesty. It would be tiresome to read 90-something pages.

I've tried all Codeworkx and XpLoDWilD's builds. They've come a long way. The 080813 has some display issues when it comes to rotating the display. Sometimes when tilting it back, it will result in stretched or narrowed display of your status bar. Something I've found to be easily fixed by tilting it back and forth once more. Elsewise I haven't really noticed anything. It's incredibly snappy (might be placebo, you be the judge) and battery life is excellent. I've been using it as a daily driver with no problems at all.

Haven't tried the unofficial non-offical builds (due to lack of a better word/name - i.e builds by people who are not Codeworkx and XpLoDWilD), but they are made more often and feature some of the newest commits to the repos, so might be worth a try. I just haven't had time.

I'll give the build like an 8/10 or 9/10 as daily driver. Seeing as there's display issues with rotation and Focal is still FC'ing (the regular camera app works perfectly fine, though), but 10/10 should be reserved for a perfectly working ROM with no shortcomings.
[Galaxy S II General] Orkane1989:
Thanks for the reply

That sounds great. I usually lock rotation anyway.

Dont think any i9100 ROM could be given a 10/10 unless samsung finally gave up the proper documentation for the Exynos4.

Looks like i better get flashing :)
[Galaxy S II General] ddaazzzzaa:
Currently on the 808 build. And confirm focal crashes camera. So uninstalled focal from system apps. Have camera working with photosphere installed s4camerawitheditorandscenefix.zip in recovery. Happy as here to use as a daily few graphics glitches as stated above. And glitches with Facebook whilst typing not displaying properly
[Galaxy S II General] TheBenz:
I´m really in love with the 10.2 version. I tried many other Roms but functions like HALO and Pie control are very impractical in daily use. Same with the Hybrid mode, most apps look awful or are too small to use. CM10.2 is the fastest and easiest to use Rom of all custom Roms i tried! Many thanks to codeworkx :cowboy: :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II General] Orkane1989:
Just flashed.

First set-up (Google accounts etc.) was a little stuttery but after that everything is smooth and nice. Not getting the placebo effect i would say its just the same as 10.1 but im no graphical expert.

No bootloop on reboot.

No root access (Expected)

Camera is great

Not trying Focal due to major FC reports

Cant wait for new builds to come :)
[Galaxy S II General] oliverfigueiredo:
Root is easily obtainable. Settings -> About Phone and then press Build Number 7 times (if I remember correctly) and you'll "unlock" Developer Settings. In there set root for Apps & ADB.

how to install cyanogenmod 10.2 i9100!!!!

I threw the latest version of CyanogenMod. Touch clearly better. The camera work - still crashes focal error.
[Galaxy S II General] T_I:
Me too, I finally have decent reception on my phone in house. (2 bars instead of one or none)

Haven't got a clue how I did this, it's a clean build with only the 3 previously mentioned uncommitted patches.

As of the 0806 the bootloop is fixed, as of 0805 the disappearing recovery has been fixed.

As I use the phone as phone, the improved reception is key for me to give it a 10. When you use the screen a lot and switch from portrait to landscape (and back) I would give it a mere 5. (BTW seems to happen only with added apps, the browser in gapps seems to handle tilting as it should)

Overall, I'd say it's an 8 in usability. I've been using the codeworkx build 31-07 and 03-08 until I finally got my own builds working. (starting with the 0808 version)

I'm currently running my own 0811 build. (The automated 0812 build failed this morning, ah well, something to fix)
[Galaxy S II General] Orkane1989:
Thanks. Didn't even think of checking.

Guess I'm too used root access being set by default.
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
1)looks like the gapps (26/07/13) that i flashed does not have youtube. i tried restoring it via titanium backup but it does not restore it. titanium backup is stuck in that restoring step. any fix for this ? or is there any option to backup google apps that are not in gaaps zip.

2) i see that in recent times the aosp keyboard in CM has alternate characters for the keys in the 2nd and 3rd row. but this is not the case with the google keyboard in play store. is this a CM specific mod ? is there a way to use this keyboard in other phones running android 4.2 ?

3) anyone tried a different app to take videos ? (since the camera app crashes on videos - known issue)
[Galaxy S II General] T_I:
I switched from the full gapps to the core set just because google apps like youtube was included. I would advise to check the full version.

Ah, sorry forgot to add the link I used. The first one I used was from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2378992 before I found the set from the thread you mention. You can test this one.

When it's not in this gapps version, you could install the apps you're missing via Google play. They shouldn't be removed when upgrading. (haven't tested it, as I don't use those apps)

One small question, what would be the advantage of a custom kernel with CM 10.2?

The most common arguments for a custom kernel (compared to stock) that I can find is that custom kernels let you set the governor (it's in CM), overclock and in general allow more control of your hardware. As far as I can see CM is already very good in tuning your hardware, or am I missing anything? (except for the OC, or I missed where that's possible)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr_S:
Maybe bln? That's partly why I change

+1 for BLNWW, i used to use dorimanx on cm-10.1 mainly for that
[Galaxy S II General] T_I:
Looks usefull, but I have my phone in my pocket, so not very useful for me. So there are no major advantages next to UI tweaks?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr_S:
I also like the extra gpu steps and on Dori there's scripts that can be enabled for cache cleaning ect. It's also that each cpu/gpu step can be tuned or even decreasing the amount of cpu steps. (Maybe wrong terminology) However all these come at a price ie reliability. It's horse's for courses imo
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
It's always available there. But after each rom flash I don't want to download it. I can restore from backup. But that's what not working.

Hmm. Anyways.. The problem is that the restore is not working..

You don't have to download Youtube every time you flash, something's wrong with your setup. Youtube doesn't need to be a system app.
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
It shows up as system app in titanium. But for some reason it doesn't gets installed.
[Galaxy S II General] T_I:
Wierd, I had it in system apps, but only after installing the gapps from this thread. After going for the minimal version, it was just an app. (but after that I removed it, I was glad to get rid of it)

What I did notice is that Titan had some issues with profiles on the first 10.2 image I installed (31-07), so I ditched the profiles and all related stuff in TB.
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
tried the 8th aug build of CM 10.2 for the first time. pretty nippy and smooth.apart from known issues all good. don't know about others i got frequent screen blacks mostly on the top while using dolphin and some other apps. More importantly super fast battery drain. going back to 10.1 and will come back when the nightlies start I guess..
[Galaxy S II General] tltan86:
Sorry to bring up an old post. But fresh install with gapps 4.3, 20130728 and 20130808 builds freeze on boot screen upon manual reboot. :(

Am at page 38 right now... Damm!

--- Edit on 13/08/2013 03:29 AM ---

Although above mentioned two builds freezes on boot screen, I suspect I should have done another reboot over the first, it might just work, see post #944. But don't quote me, I didn't retry the above two builds again. Currently am on [MENTION=5302565]MNT_[/MENTION] 20130811 build and is working, no freeze on reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:

Thanks [MENTION=3734521]netcitizen[/MENTION], I'll try your method. Was this method mentioned in the previous post(s)?

Meantime I'm downloading [MENTION=5302565]MNT_[/MENTION] 20130811 build just in case. :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

[MENTION=3734521]netcitizen[/MENTION], doesn't work for me. I'll further monitor this thread as of now first before getting my hand itchy again. Reverting back to cm10.1. *sigh* can't say for now if your method works, because I odin the kernel just to use the recovery [1]. Next, fresh install with 20130808 build and gapps 4.2, reboot and freeze on boot screen again.

See some light from [MENTION=4420186]hectorviov[/MENTION] post #894 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44517561&postcount=894 :o

Continuing from the above, I did another odin kernel and fresh install with [MENTION=5302565]MNT_[/MENTION] 20130811 build and gapps 4.2. Reboot and it freeze on boot screen. I force reboot and try my luck to go into recovery without doing odin again (see [2]). Select option reboot system and thereafter every subsequent reboot able to boot as normal (without reinstalling cm10.2 and gapps). :D

Hope my dragging story able to help others. Ha.

[1]: All the while I thought recovery was *still* missing from these builds as I can't go into recovery after rebooting the system.

[2]: This is when I just realised that my first reboot doesn't always go into recovery, only from 2nd reboot onwards, at least for me.

[MENTION=3734521]netcitizen[/MENTION], your method works, not required to reflash rom or gapps though, just reboot to system from the recovery menu. Thanks! :good:

This seems to work well for me

I installed this yesterday and used the 4.3 Core Apps (GApps_Core_4.3.zip) which you can get it from Goo-im - http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps 4.3/GApps_Core_4.3.zip

Everything but focal is working well. I even managed to install new boot animation. I guess I'm learning just enough to be dangerous.

[Galaxy S II General] wrsg:
With nearly all Cyanogenmod versions I've ever used (and across multiples devices, not just i9100), there has been a problem with USB transfer speed going slow after a certain amount of data has been transferred (it usually got fixed when the cache was cleared however). This is not related to MicroSD speed btw, it happens on any class.

Can anyone confirm if the new TRIM feature stops this from happening?
[Galaxy S II General] Rick Roll:

[Galaxy S II General] T_I:
Ok, just build with the latest patches (13-08, 11:56 CEST) and am now uploading to my server (ETA now+15 min).

I'm still missing the advanced menu option to disable the backlight of the hardware buttons. (if there is a patch, I've missed it and when the option has moved, I haven't found it yet) Also the graphic glitches while tilting remain.
[Galaxy S II General] kokesh:
This has been discusses over and over. USB transfer bug is affected by lack of good sources from Samsung. It won't be probably ever fixed. You can use AirDroid, or any ADB filesystem tools available (I use ADB filesystem plugin for TotalCommander),

Trim has absolutely nothing to do with it, it just frees up deleted data blocks, so access to the storage is faster. And BTW it has been recently disabled I think, as Lagfix (trim) app started in last few days telling me, that method isn't supported (CM10.1) and it has worked before.
[Galaxy S II General] leblvin:
Kokesh, that is not exact. Flashing Siyah kernel or DorimanX kernel gives USB transfer speeds of up to 10Mb/s.
[Galaxy S II General] brass2themax:
I can confirm this. It's a problem with the CM kernel, and it doesn't require anything from Samsung to fix. Dorimanx and Siyah don't have this problem, and they have just as much access to any code CyanogenMod does.
[Galaxy S II General] tltan86:

Stop fu*king disrespecting the devs and going into threads asking for other peoples builds. The fact of the matter is that this only came out so soon because of the hard work ALL our devs put into our device during all past releases (Mainly Jellybean). I highly doubt xplodwild will release "his own" because chances are they both worked on it. They work out of the same repo's and if xplodwild updates i9100 he will update here IMO.
