BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP...

I strongly recommend performing a Nandroid backup before installing Rom​

Installation with Full wipe:

-Download KitKat CWM Recovery and save zip to internal SDcard

-Download AOSP NeatROM and save zip to internal SDcard

-Download Google Apps and save zip to internal SDcard

-Boot into CWM or PhilZ Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)

-DO A DATA WIPE / Clean to install a new ROM

-Go to Advance and Select Wipe dalvik cache

-Go to Mounts and storage, select Format system, Format preload

-Select Install zip from SD card

-Flash KitKat CWM Recovery

-Reboot RECOVERY

-Flash NeatROM

-Flash Google Apps (optional)

-Reboot your device

​

Installation without wipe (Coming from previous build):

-Download AOSP NeatROM and save zip to internal SDcard

-Download Google Apps and save zip to internal SDcard

-Boot into Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)

-Wipe cache and dalvik cache

-Select Install zip from SD card

-Flash NeatROM

-Flash Google Apps (optional)

-Reboot your device

he can'y copy files to his phone..he can only use recovery and download mode.

he needs to install tar version with odin
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Thanks, have not realized this. Yes, then he needs to flash Philz (.tar) via Odin. In case he still has Philz kernel somewhere on the phone, he could directly flash via TWRP...or am I wrong here?

Can someone post screenshots from the included Calendar and email programs that come with this ROM. S-Planner and Stock (Samsung) Email are the only Samsuns Apps i use currently, and o guess they ar enot in this ROM.

Any suggestion what could be a good replacement on AOSP Neat?

Q to the keyboard: Does AOSP Keyboard also support 2 languages at once as the Samsung keyboard does (word suggestions on Samsung keyboard recommend words from all activated languages depending on recognizing what language you currently use while typing)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
ur right.he can reinstal cwm that he already downloaded too but he doesn't know how to work with twrp.

he probably has the cwm on his phone if he followed the instructons on OP

Thanks guys for all the input.

I don't know what happened because I saw the CWM recovery after installing the 3 files from Sale download page.

Then I flashed the rom and Gapps and the system froze on start up.

When I went back into recovery, I saw this new TWRP Recovery appear????

Anyway, I would like to get my 'phone operating again as it is now bricked :rolleyes:

Please could any of you help me with the precise steps to do this again.

Last time I used Odin was 2 years ago when I rooted the phone and am completely unfamiliar with it now.

Much appreciated guys :laugh:

What's the point in wiping datas if you restore a nand after it?

Maybe I've understand wrong :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
If I restore a full ti, a lot of garbage is there also. I don't understand how crt can just stop by itself.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] -Chill:
IMO. You can define it with the difference between before and after. :eek:

(Another confusion) LOL
[Galaxy S II Android Development] la_malacoda:
Yeah. I'm confused LOL :eek::eek::confused:

Well, why don't you try to make a nand, wiping all datas and format system and preload, installing the rom and seeing if crt works? So you will know for sure if that's a fault of the previous setting you were using, cause for me it's working definitely good both on stock and Apolo kernel :sly::thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] -Chill:
Oh my. Got dizzy. :silly:

But, it is like painting your house that is already painted.

You will need to wipe the previous coating to put the new paint with but, still comes with a the same design and whatsoever. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xxx0xxx:
So is it because portuguese language? I also had this issue before in 2.4.1.

Installed with full Wipe.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] la_malacoda:
Maybe now I see.

But what I mean is that he's saying that he's got this problem from previous version, so if he installs new updates without full wipe and format system and preload, he's more likely to continue to have this problem IMO.

When he makes a nand he's saving everything, and files from previous versions too, that could be the reason why he gets not working crt. So, IMO, he should try to wipe data and format preload and system without restoring nand, just to see if now crt works or not. If then it works, he could choose to restore nand and most likely loose crt, or setup the new rom, maybe a long work, but worth the time. :thumbup::sly:

I hope my point of view is clearer now :D:thumbup:

Btw, I wanted to share my first day battery life with you guys, then I'm going to sleep cause today has been a hell of a day :(

Frequent Annoying Question:

How to upgrade from 2.4.1 to 2.5? Do i need to clear everything just like installing new ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marjune23:
Already answered many times...

Am too lazy now to click on the search button...

But no worry I (we) will still answer you...

That's why NeatRom family rocks...:highfive:

Backup first or do a nandroid in case something went wrong (although 1% chance of failure only hahaha)...

Do dirty flash...

1. From recovery mode, wipe cache and dalvik...

2. Flash NeatRom AOSP and Gapps...

3. Reboot

4. Enjoy...

If something went wrong, do a Full Wipe...

1. From recovery mode, wipe data, cache dalvik...

2. Go to mount and storage, format cache, system and data...

3. Flash NeatROM AOSP and Gapps.

4. Reboot...

5. Restore Nandroid backup...

6. Enjoy...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Did full wipe, 2.5 install. Stil no crt.

I tried to restore my nand but now with art a lot is on the ext-sd. Those apps won't restore. Is that normal? At the first boot when it says optimizing apps, the app count does include the apps on the ext - sd.

Broken proximity sensor

My phone has a broken proximity sensor (broke when I replaced my screen). I was using NeatRom 4+ because Sammy rom's let my disable the function that the screen goes black during a call (Phone --> Settings --> Turn off screen during calls). I really like this rom, but when I call, the screen always goes black and there is no way I could turn the screen back on (unless the other end hangs up, which sucks when you get the answer machine).

Does anybody has an idea how I could enable my screen to stay on during calls in this amazing rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xxx0xxx:
It happens to me too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mako0:
it's a Kitkat feature... You can disable that in WiFi option..

This feature helps the connectivity and GPS..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pirate11n11:

I have a working sensor but still the screen doesn't turn on sometimes when I remove the phone from my ear even when call is active. I'll use home key to turn on screen. Give it a try.

Guys, does everyone else get a broken battery icon when charging the phone when it's turned off? (I can't even turn it on when it's plugged...)

Also does anyone else get a peristent wakelock after charging the phone when it's turned on? (I can fix this only rebooting the phone after unplugging it)

Please share your opinion... I don't want to go back to touchwiz... But those bugs that I mentioned are quite a mess for a daily use.

PS: I did a 100% clean install (no google or titanium restored) and I get those problems even without installing any app.

With stock samsung based Neatrom I don't have any of those problems.

I am just a one day old owner of Galaxy SII...and my first rom installed on my phone is neatrom...altough..my question is that after reading many post i learnt that battery backup of this fone is somwhw relates to the kernel installed in...hence would like to know is there any kernel which u guyz suggest for better battery backup as i always have my 2G Data on !!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] txx3:
yes and yes ...but feature like multiwindow, smart stay and Samsung Apps wont work anymore, instead you get the google one's (and features) plus battery is worst for now than 4.1.2

consider that ..and if it's okay for you, flash like it's shown in the OP ..dont just flash!

take care.

What is this charging wakelock? I have the same issue on battery loading icon when the phone is off. It works like a charm in Apolo Kernel 7.0b2, so i think it's a firmware issue.

Have you any news Sale? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Plinky89:
I have found the solution for my problems... or better... the cause of them. It was the stock kernel that comes with this rom. It's kind of buggy : S

After flashing apolo light my battery icon that appears when the phone is shutted down is fixed (and shows % charge too :D). Also the wakelock problem after unplugging the phone when it's powered on have been fixed after changing the kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
if ur talking abt battery life (not battery backup) try gustavo slimkat version.

Sorry for the late response, i had wrote them down on a notpad and left them in work.

multipdp

secril_fd-interface

PowerManagerService.Wakelocks

l1_hsic

radio-interface

Each of these were kernel waklocks and had about 23 minutes each. Flattened the battery from 80% to 4% in about 4 hours. Not had a chance to google them yet.

EDIT: - have now googled - looks like it could be related to fast dormancy and o2. Might try disabling it unless anyone has a better suggestion.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
i don't say that gustavo is better i just like it better. :)

still when i measured benchmarks some time ago gustavo was alittle faster than apolo.

update:

I've done a full wipe and reflashed the rom, and initially the problem (Can't do operations with big files like copy/move them beacuse the transfer speed goes down to 0,0 kb/s....i'm NOT talking about transfer from pc to phone) was gone, so i started to install my apps and once did that the problem came back! :(:(

I can't find a pattern to this behaviour....i've just installed few apps...nothing special (stuff like lucky patcher, modded playstore, chrome, maps, kk launcher etc...)

this is so frustrating!:crying:

yeah of course...after flash battery need time to level off and become normal ...at least that's what most say ...wait 2 or 3 Battery life cycles and see if it settled

also u should try to check your battery states!

[Q] Advice

Hi

This rom is great but because Samsung apps don't work we have to stay with Google ones which are crap. For example "Contacts", with the Sam app listing and viewing and managing contacts was clean, select a contact, slide over it and make a call or send a message.

Anyone can give me a advice of a app, preferable free that make more intuitive and simple to manage contacts.

And other thing. When I receive a call the caller's picture is cutted by two black bars. Any way of correct that?

Thanks

4.2.1? Is it the previous version? Anyways, I had similar problem with other apps after flashing the rom with full wipe. So I I flashed it again (rom + gapps), didn't wipe anything before and only wiped dalvic and cache immediately after flashing. Now it's all good. Give it a try.
