[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] corduroy84:
I doubt we'll get 4.3. Heard they're skipping 4.3 for those that get 4.2.2. While the S3 skips 4.2.2 and straight to 4.3. No time as so many devices are getting 4.4, apparently.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] :
yeah, and sense 4.3 just came out like a month ago, samsung didn't have enough time to even get touchwiz ported and ota to the newest galaxy s and note line. I usually takes them about 4 months. But 4.3 is worth skipping, there's nonthing major there. It was pushed out to fix some small bugs and security issues and graphics problems

i don't know what is Google I/O but when i try to reach it it give me this massage "We're sorry, but this service is not available in your country"
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nickchk:
i think google i/o is an event which showcase new Google stuff
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] :
yep, they do it everytime they release a new phone/tablet/android version:D
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kostas90:
is it okay if I flash the MI1 version that came out in germany in september instead of the GM8 version that is posted in the first thread here as that is from july? the flashing process is the same right? and it will work...right?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] :
No, those may both be galaxy s2 but they are different variants, meaning different hardware. Those are 2 different phones
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kostas90:
so which version do I need to upgrade to? my phone currently runs an MC2 version (although the baseband says MC1 and I'm not really sure which is the one I'm supposed to say) its the i9105P version. any help would be greatly appreciated would hate to brick it or anything
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
Just go to sammobile and search 9105p and look for the latest 4.2.2

Download it and flash it. Nothing will go wrong. If you are not sure which link is correct on xda. Just don't use them. Search the firmware manually
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kostas90:
is there the possibility to change the CSC code and then connect to kies and have that do the upgrade for me? cuz it used to be with my SGS 1 and it would just be lovely if they still had it
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
No. Actually it doesn't really matter. When 4.2 is out for your country just download and flash it. You don't really need kies or ota
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ArigatoLowLife:
Awesome! Hope this is true. I guess we'll have to wait and find out.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] SethPDA:
So KitKat is out. I am really curious when we will get the new update :-S
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] txx3:
As far as i know samsung first though about bringing 4.2 to s2 ..but suddenly stoped. Could it be cause google told them, hey guys you know what! our next update is gona be far better for old devices. what caused them to rethink there update plans.

as far as update politics at samsung i think it's gonna be a bit like this.

Samsung will first bring it to the note 3 and s4.

and maybe note 10.1 and the Mega

i am not aware of the s2 is still bringing money to the company, but the s2 plus does! ...and if they gonna bring it to the s2 plus...i think its not a great effort to bring it to the old s2....well at least i think so...and if they bring it to the old s2 it's gonna be a kind move more then a profitable move.

chances are small at the end to be honest ...cause it is an old device

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
dude that's not Samsung's logic

if your phone is popular, you get more updated.

that's their logic
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] txx3:
yeah thats exactly what i said, popular devices at the moment like s4 and note 3 get it first and the phones that got old might get some too...if it's worth it.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
I say as long as no s ii advance or any upgrade for sii+ is not made it will get updates

I say this according to what happened to Galaxy S and S plus and S advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] txx3:
chances just got super low Galaxy Nexus wont get it

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nickchk:
nexus got no kitkat cause its chipset,by TI,which already out of manufacture any mobile chipset,hence no support.

our broadcomm chipset manufacturer still up and running,in theory should can provide support for our device :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] SethPDA:
That would be great.

Somewhere on some sort of blog, I've read a list which samsung devices will get the 4.4 update and the S2 plus was there, however, I'm not sure it was an official statement
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] jpninside:
I really hope the 4.4 KitKat update will soon come out for my GT-I9105P!

I think it will ultimate my smartphone...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] raz91van:
That's great news! I can't wait!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Hilith:
I'm trying to find the latest news on this 4.4 update but many sites report different news.

What are the lastest trustworthy news on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] be_free:
Depends do u belive in Santa or Easter bunny :) as far as I know everything is based on future promises,nothing conrete.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Hilith:
Just what I though when I read those news Bah...

Still the S2 plus was released in February whichs means the 18 months of support that Samsung gives will only end in June 2014.

The 4.4 will be released in the early Q1 2014 so if the S2 Plus doesn't get the update until June we can take legal action against Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] MrAndroid12:
It's not about whether it's your device or not.

S3 not being on the list suggests it's rumours only and not an official statement by Samsung.

Btw, the 18 month support period had broken promises with the original galaxy s
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] jrkraj:
Hope

Our device is the first device which receive 4.2.2 update a head of major phones I Hope we will get at-least 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] andixlm:
Update to 4.2.2 for major phones was skipped. They get 4.3 instead of 4.2

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] andixlm:
We hope it will :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Cooetzee:
I strongly believe that S2 plus won't get an official 4.3 or 4.4 update. As i said in another post, there is no time. I am from Romania and, as i seen on sammobile, there are almost 15 countries that got official 4.2!!! I will wait that my warranty for the device will expire and i will root and give myself a taste of 4.4 update via Odin. Hope that devs will make it fully functional soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kvazi78:
I am also from Romania, and i don't think so we will get 4.4. We are in 2014 at version 4.1.2:crying::crying::crying::

And also you can check firmware updates at: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9105P
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] adisan2002:
latest stock is 4.2.2, not 4.1.2!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] andixlm:
not for all countries.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] adisan2002:
you can install any 4.2.2 (un)branded version, as long as all versions support any languages ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
Of course. But not from the original country, which doesn't bring you warranty
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nanoteam:
the phone I9105p it is not shiped for all ****ries ... because of that ..there is missing ****ries .. see samsung website specife u ****ries u will find it in some and not the others ......
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Luuk1808:
But you could also update to 4.2.2 with Kies, even if the ROM wasn't released for your country yet. It's hard to believe that Kies breaks your warranty without telling you.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] LuK1337:
Does the Kies works? I tried to use it when I had Galaxy Ace and Kies couldn't update my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] IridiumDrive:
Let's hope this is real, but I don't think it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] michalpycia:
today I mail samsung and they quickly respond me that they have no update plans for S II Plus.

Our device is't very popular...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] safariking:
Not very surprising but i dont care we have CyanogebMod by [MENTION=5456406]CoolDevelopment[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] michalpycia:
of course, cm is much better than tw roms, but I just wanted people to stop dreaming about official update for low activity device;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
What would you guys prefer for a next project? PA, Omni-Rom, a kernel or another rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] michalpycia:
Maybe a kernel ( maybe 3.4;) ) OmniRom also sounds great ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] crkcrk:
When can we expect Build # 4 with all involved Fixes
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] safariking:
Omni rom and a fully working cm11 would be nice to
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
Omni rom
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] thedoginme87:
I think we need a good kernel, and cm11 fully functional :D just my 2 cents
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ancidroide:
Omni ROM ☺
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mysteres:
Kernel !
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] fmehdi:

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
Aren't you able to build by yourself? :p
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] android.zealot.fervor:
LOL......You asked so I expressed my demand. Anyways I do can build such Roms but because my exams are drawing closer so I have to give more time to my studies instead of android development. Well nonetheless, i'm so far obliged and thankful to you for your all contribution for s2 plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
Was not meant bad
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
Hi devs

I have a silly question.

What is name of program to make a ROM or kernel working for a phone? :D

Or it's about entering codes in Linux's terminal?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] android.zealot.fervor:
Well not only one program is required for making a rom. Btw....you should learn about dsixda's*Android Kitchen. This program will assist you a lot in making roms etc.....
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
thank you for your answer

what about kernel? it needs programing skills or it need some software like Kitchen.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] android.zealot.fervor:
Sorry :( I've no knowledge about kernel stuff...... A very great guy (developer) [MENTION=5456406]CoolDevelopment[/MENTION] can better help you out about this kernel matter.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source

some stuff does not require programming skills but you will learn a bit while experimenting

I also recommend you to compile roms from source without kitchen, if it's possible(only aosp-based roms)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nanoteam:
1st we need at least 3.4 kernel the latest rom's need's this .. and ..what about carbon rom ... i don't know ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] michalpycia:
If i dont work for 12h a day i would love to compile 3.4 kernel but i really have no spear time at all:( cruel world

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] safariking:
Awh errors love that word :mad:

What errors do you get
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
Since I can't post anything in developer threads I decided to post it here:

I am using cm11 made by [MENTION=5456406]CoolDevelopment[/MENTION] and first of all I want to thank you and all devs working on ROMs for our device. I'm following cm11's thread and know you are working on softkey vibration fix. And recently, using PowerAmp I noticed that when I press menu softkey, it vibrates (everytime when the menu pops up). I am using latest vibration fix made by [MENTION=3412821]beastaki23[/MENTION].

Also, I encountered some problems with mounting memory (pendrive via OTG) and swapping internal and external sd (maybe I am just doing something wrong or it's a bug)?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] safariking:
Can you take a logcat when pressing th menu button maybe it can help [MENTION=3412821]beastaki23[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
I'd like to but I don't know how to do this ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] beastaki23:
No need since its already been fixed and I test it for some hours now. looks ok.

[MENTION=5660442]Anemiq[/MENTION], thanks anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
And what about mounting problems? Am I the only one experiencing them? :p
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
Usb otg will be fixed in next release
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
Thanks, but will this include also possibility to swap internal and external sd cards?

EDIT: Also I found a bug: sometimes, when I longpress on WiFi toggle in quick settings notifications panel, phone freezes and reboots after about 10 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
1: it needs some modifications in ramdisk, but it's not easy changeable and you always need to flash another kernel to swap. But you can try foldermount from play store.

2: this is a bug of cm i think, it was reported on other phones aswell
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
I tried foldermount, external to internal, directorybind and none of them worked :(

However, thanks for reply and good luck with solving bugs :)

EDIT: If this helps, I found this: http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html which explains (as far as I understand) how to change sdcards manually, but I don't understand what exactly to do (maybe somebody more clever will know what to do :) ).
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
But that would change them permanently and not everyone wants it
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
By permanently you mean totally no reverse? Even if you just restore those files?

I tried to do this, but could not find storage_list.xml (besides I wasn't sure if I was doing it right and didn't want to break phone somehow).
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
It needs to be changed vefore the rom is compiled
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] dennis.kt:
vefore=before

right?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
actually why bother this when you know the actual word that he meant
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
Oh, so that is how it works, didn't know, to be honest :)

I tried again and in program called External to Internal I managed to mount my external sd as both external and internal (so I had no access to internal sd), anybody can help me with swapping those cards? Maybe there are other ways to do so?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
I think I figured out a way, it needs a custom kernel and you could toggle it via editing build.prop
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
Hmm, you mean that it won't work on the cm kernel? I mean this one with vibration fixed? As far as I know, there are custom kernels for I9105P only for 4.2.2 (or maybe I'm wrong :) ).
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] safariking:
yes there are but they are very outdated
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] CoolDevelopment:
I need to build another kernel for it
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Anemiq:
Ok, so I'll wait for this kernel, thank you for replying :)

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ichmagpopcorn:
I'm actually not believing in getting an official 4.4 by Samsung because the Websites mentioned at the beginning of this thread are the only ones i found that say that our phone will get an official update... But i think with cm 11 we've got a nice alternative which also doesn't have samsungs unneeded apps you can't remove
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] NiceIceDice96:
I don't think so cuz before Samsung mentioned that mini 2 well receive jelly bean update but that was wrong and no more jb for mini 2 so we get red and our awesome developer@Thewhisp made all cm roms from cm9 to cm11 yah all of them so don't trust Samsung just make it by your self
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
according to this page http://opensource.samsung.com/ (you must chose phones in that page) some phone's Source Code are updated like SG S2 or SG S3 and they received android updates as well.

and this phone SG S2 plus received an android update 4.2.2 but again looking to that page there is no update for it's source code and considering the fact that 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 both are jelly bean and samsung released 4.2.2 very unexpectedly and fast after phone's release i'm assuming that we didn't receive any update for this phone, and if samsung don't update this phone at least once i'll be really mad at them.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] adisan2002:
.. so what??
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] vahid8910:
so what you guys think about what i said?

is it right or it makes no sense?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ramulis:
"Samsung Galaxy U.S. devices currently scheduled to receive the KitKat update include select carrier variants of the Galaxy Note® 3, Galaxy Note® II, Galaxy S® 4, Galaxy S® 4 mini™, Galaxy S® 4 Active™, Galaxy S® 4 zoom™, Galaxy S® III, Galaxy S® III mini™, Galaxy Mega®, Galaxy Light, Galaxy Note® 8.0, Galaxy Tab® 3, Galaxy Note® 10.1, Galaxy Note® 10.1 2014 Edition."

maybe we can try to port it?

would be a lot of kernel stuff

kernel will not be a problem, we take their sources and our defconfig

Maybe they are bringing kitkat also to us, who knows

Yeah but Samsung is so difficult to believe

I have a tab 3 here running on 4.1.2 stock no update nothing

Exactly I'm more than sure and hopefully we shall get kitkat.

Remember last time..... GALAXY GRAND GOT LEAKED 4.2.2 but there was no sign of update for s2 plus but later our s2 plus got the official one.

as i searched galaxy grand i9082 , galaxy s2 plus i9105p and galaxy mega 5.8 i9152 .. has same chipset .... i think like this will get kitkat or will port it ... good luck

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Dugzor:
I still can't understand the whole process on how Samsung deals with update devices. When I bought my S2 Plus it was on 4.1.2 and then I updated it to 4.2.2 recently. Isn't it supposed to go through 4.3 before moving to 4.4?

Isn't it possible for Samsung to simply throw the update toward everyone at the same time and let everyone be happy? Maybe I'm missing some technical point here. Anyway, let's hope for the best and maybe we'll have 4.4 on our devices soon!

So I'm not sure exactly what I did but my sdcard isn't accessible in android... I formatted data system and sdcard..I managed to sideload viperdna but now I have no idea how to get my sdcard back. Es file manager says its not there. When on my pc I see it listed as internal storage but that's it and also in recovery when trying to install from zip all I can browse are two folders that relate to clockwork mod but nothing in them.....any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance
[HTC Droid DNA] durgis:
It's now mounted at /data/media/0
[HTC Droid DNA] skankaholics511:
I'm sorry for the noon questions but what do I do with this directory? Do I need to use adb? My phone even tells my in storage information that its unavailable...thank you for the response as well
[HTC Droid DNA] skankaholics511:
Ok I see where it is now, how do I relocate it so that my phone recognizes it as usable? Just move it?
[HTC Droid DNA] durgis:
You can move your old files from /data/media into /data/media/0 and they should be accessible again. You should be able to do the moves in root mode in the file manager.
[HTC Droid DNA] skankaholics511:
If I were to push a rom with adb to /0 and flash will I have my sd card back? I feel like just moving things around is going to leave me with issues in the end, is rather clean install.
[HTC Droid DNA] durgis:
/data/media/0 is now the equivalent of /sdcard for your user and is the directory that's accessible as 'Internal Storage' when the phone is plugged into a computer.

Clockworkmod Recovery starts in /data/media and stores it's backups and files in /data/media/clockworkmod.

You should be able to choose a rom.zip that is in /data/media/0 by picking the 0 directory listed at the top and then find the file as normal.

To do this the steps would be:

Reboot into recovery > Install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard > 0 > rom.zip

Help

After installing this rom, [ROM]9.5.2013 NOS M7 v3.0.6 [Sense 5.0 JB 4.2.2]Optimized&Stable, all of my stuff on my SD card was no longer recognized. Using Root Explorer I attempted to transfer the file storage/emulated/0 back to the SD card. A message popped up that Google has unexpectedly stopped. Root Explorer stopped running and closed out. I opened Root Explorer back up and went back to the same folders to transfer the file again, because it didn't go through the first time. When I clicked on the "0" folder there was another "0" folder, then there was another "0" folder, etc. I did this about 5 times then backed out and connected my phone to my PC and attempted to do the same process via computer. Once I clicked on the "0" folder my PC went nuts and PC continuously opened "0" folder after "0" folder until the connection between my PC and phone crashed. My question is: Where is my information, because my usage size on my memory card is the exact same size as it was before I did any of this, but it cannot be seen. I was and still am using 9.84 G on the SD card but just can't find my information. I noticed that the "0" folder is an exact replica of my SD card. I want to know how to get back my info. Before I tried to transfer anything I had all my info in the "0" folder but now its a replica of my SD card and it just doesn't show my info. I am still running this rom and will continue to do so until someone answers, because i don't want to flash another rom and lose all my info because its in a temporary folder somewhere.
