The problem with Vanir (CM11) is very often discussed here. The IMEI gets lost when flashing Vanir. For some devices (mine included) it helps, when [MENTION=1867821]TheBoegl[/MENTION] prerooted stock ROM is flashed first. It has something to do with the efs folder from this AMB6 ROM.

For CM10.1 I have no idea, because I didn't use this ROM.

For those, who look for an app, that brings the torchlight back, I found a way. The "Xposed torch: physical buttons" by Wanam is free for download in the Play store. You can activate light by pressing Vol+ and switch it off by Vol-.

[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] marle.m:
Use Link 2 SD for Apps on sd card in Camera menue you can set save folder to sd card.

If you buy link 2 sd you can link also internal datas but if you update thes apps you have link internal date you have to link internal data back before update otherwise there is an erro 101.

Note dont send apps to sd you must link it to sd this is the right way after reboot you have more internal memory free!

test the latest nightlies with your youtube player bug i think its gone now.

For me just Lin2SD Works the othe Apps do not work with KITKAT Vanir!!!

Here is a Link with tutorial for Link2SD http://androidcreations.weebly.com/how-to-setup-link2sd.html

You can also find information here in XDA forum about Link2SD!

I use vanir_skomer_4.4.4.090714 with the pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20141008-signed and everything works fine also google play service i have update the pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20141008-signed from pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20140930-signed withe the normal CWM 6.0.4.7 and there is no problem.

But is there a problem witch recovery can we use?

A nice thing is if team vanir make a new recovery that works with GAPPS.

Then we can update skomer and GAPPS and every thing works fine.

But for me now there was no Problem.

Regards Marle.M

You can install it over recovery Menue without losing your settings etc.

Just open recovery menue (befor make shure you have copy the ZIP you need on your sd card) then make clear dalvik cache.

After that you must chose install zip from sd card go to ZIP you will install and do that.

Do not downgrade this way.

After install the ZIP ore GAPPS you have to rebot the phone and everything ist fine and your settings and everything ist there to.

Hi,

I tried to install your rom on the xcover2 I bought last week.

I'm stuck in a bootloop.

Here's what I've done :

installed a cwm (6.0.4.6) with odin (not yours):

wiped data/factory reset

installed your latest nightlie with cwm

=>bootloop

wiped data/factory, cache partition and dalvik

installed again the rom

=>bootloop

wiped data/factory, cache partition and dalvik

installed your custom cwm via cwm

installed again the rom

=>bootloop

What can I do to make it work ?

Is there something obvious ?

Install a kernel or something ?

I'm not a big rom flasher...

PLAY SERVICES / PLAY GAMES UPDATER

Updates Google Play Services to v6.1.71 (1501030-03x)

and Google Play Games to v2.0.13 (1404932-03x)

While the long-term plan is to incorporate this feature into the GApps installers, I am making it available early as a stand-alone installer. Using updated scripting techniques from the new upcoming GApps packages, I have created a flashable zip that will update Google Play services and Google Play Games (only if installed) to the latest, proper version for your device. You can flash this on all 4.4.x GApps packages.

After flashing, the installer will copy a file (pa_update.log) to the same folder as the zip ¹. You may review or share the contents of this file if you experience any problems or have any questions. pa_update.log contains the following information:

A HUGE "Thank You" to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] for making this possible. From the scripting technique to the new, updated methods of signing the zip, none of this would have been possible without his assistance. Thanks, also to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for first discovering this new method of flashing zips and making the source code available to properly sign this new style of installer.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are using CWM versions 6.0.4.7 it is highly recommended to update to a newer version or a different recovery. Version 6.0.4.7 (ONLY) is NOT compatible with PlayServices/Games Updater and will also NOT be compatible with upcoming versions of PA GApps.

Good idea. But [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] wrote, his CWM 6.0.4.7 from his first post in this thread is recommended for a proper installation of Vanir. I didn't try installation with CWM 6.0.4.6. And I couldn't find a CWM 6.0.4.8 or higher. So this is why I asked for it ;) I also didn't try TWRP, because it isn't even mentioned in OP.

3. Make a nandroid backup from CWM (backup to storage/sdcard1)

4. Download and copy this file to your sd card http://host.sebastianboegl.de/S7710/cm-10/flxo/cm-11.0-skomer/

5. Turn phone off then enter in CWM

6. Wipe data/factory reset

7. Wipe cache partition

8. Install from storage/sdcard1 and choose this file 20131231_cm_11.0_skomer-ota-eng.flx.zip

9. Reboot system now and wait about 3 minutes to boot, you should see the cyanogenmod logo.

10. Copy latest version of the Vanir nightlies from this link http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/skomer/ (at my time the latest was vanir_skomer_4.4.4.100614.zip) and I used this version of GAPPS: pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20140930-signed.zip

10. Turn off phone

11. Enter in CWM

12. Wipe data/factory reset

13. Wipe cache partition

14. Install zip from storage/sdcard1 and choose the vanir nightlies you copied to your sd card.

15. Install zip from storage/sdcard1 and choose the GAPPS version you copied to your sd card.

16. Reboot system now and wait for Vanir rom to boot (it takes about 2-3 minutes)

I hope I'm not upseting anyone by posting all of the above with all the links.

then from cwm recovery , i've cleared dalvik cache,
