How to install custom Roms and Kernels (Gapps included)

PLEASE NOTE THAT BY DOING THIS, YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOIDED AND BY DOING ROM FLASH, YOU FACE THE CHANCE OF YOUR PHONE GETTING BRICKED! SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN DOING THIS AND I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE THAT YOUR PHONE BROKE OR WHAT SO EVER

1. Make sure your device is rooted and you have the rom, gapps, and kernel on your device (the Rom and Kernel download links, the top is the newest build)

Rom: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=19281&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC

Kernel: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22030&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC

Gapps: https://basketbuild.com/filedl/gapps?dl=gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip (Maybe a bit outdated)

2. Make sure have a custom recovery (cwm 6.0.4.3 or higher) (I'm not sure for TWRP, but I think installing the latest will do), after you downloaded one of the apps, open it and let it have root permission then download and install the recovery (refer to video if this confuses you)

a. If you want to use CWM (not really recommended), go to this link and download it off of play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en

b. If you wanted to use TWRP, download this through play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager&hl=en

3. Enter recovery by: (for sgh-t989)

a. holding down power until Samsung logo appears then let go of the power button and see b for next step

b. then hold both power up and volume down

c. hold it until you enter your custom recovery(make sure your phone is not connected to anything because it can make it go into download mode)

3. wipe cache and dalvik cache just to be safe (can be selected from wipe selection)

4. tap or select install (depending on your recovery)

a. install Rom your Rom first

b. install gapps

c. then install kernel

d. reboot (wait for it, it is probably going to take a while) and enjoy

If you still don't understand, use the two video below as a reference -the video below does not belong to me-

[DO NOT FOLLOW EXACTLY OF WHAT THE VIDEO SAYS SINCE THE PHONE MODEL USES IN BOTH VIDEO ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE THAT THIS ROM IS GOING TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH (which is SGH-T989 a.k.a: T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2)]

---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

Depends which build. If your getting the last stable build (I believe 2/13) before the partition change then you flash it like you did this one. After that I'm not sure since I haven't flashed a newer build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
I'm currently using it as a daily driver, and here is what I think about it so far:

If you want to try it and use it as a daily driver I'll warn you that the CM12 for Hercules Rom that SultanXDA made is still under development, not stable yet, there bugs appearing on the Rom (trust me, I have seems them a few times)

I have encounter a bug that is currently mentioned on the CM12 forum, that fact that it sometimes freezes at boot screen. This is pretty annoying when you just flashed the Rom. Also, when I'm listening to music on bluetooth, the sound glitches. Finally, sometimes when I receive call or tries to call someone, it is silence. The problem is fixed with a reboot so I count that as a bug. (I forgot to mention that currently, the kernel modifier can't modify anything [3/18], no change is made to the kernel)

If you wanted the newest feature of Android and you don't mind your phone glitches or bugs appears a few times, then go ahead and flash it. (BTW: SutlanXDA's CM12 now requires you to virtually partition your phone storage and you needed to have his own custom TWRP)

Overall, It is possible to use CM12 for the daily driver as long as you don't mind a few bugs.:) But I would recommend to stay at CM11 until the stable CM12 have been release:D;):good:

The camera flash issues were fixed with this ROM, you might need a new battery.

The camera flash/shutdown has happened to me on a couple of occasions. I have a new battery and am on the latest ROM/Kernel so who knows what's going on.

I am also on 2015Jan19 of dev's build and get random camera shutdowns from using flash. Original battery. Various charge levels.

Kind of annoying but worth it to me versus running out and buying a new S6 ;) I was having serious problems with my MicroSD Card and the last official ICS TMO ROM. Phone almost unusable and I almost had to go out and buy a S5 last year until I found this thread and figured out how to make it go.

Thanks Sultanxda for all your hard work! Do you have a tip jar or any way to support you...? My friend is going to get an S6 and then I can use their SII to test your Lolipop builds.

Here is the link for the Gapps: https://basketbuild.com/gapps

OR download the original Gapps by TKruzze that someone have a copied of before the forum close down http://downloadandroidfiles.org/file.php/?File=/Gapps/KitKat/Android%204.4.X/pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20150308-signed.zip

I recommend the original one since it's much newer and... well... original(ly what the Rom use) !

Download the one for the 4.4.x and install/flash it like a normal Rom

I know it's confusing because the original Gapps that Rom have a link for is gone, but hope this helps

EDIT: Here is another link for Gapps that I have found in process to find the CM12.1 Gapps, this is the continuation of the original PA GAPPS by other users.

I'm really sad to see maintenance of this ROM go EOL. Especially because the LP ROM replacement is still a WIP and has what I consider to be major issues.

I have run this ROM for the last six months and it has been awesome. The only RRs I have had were due to overclocking settings that were too aggressive and not the fault of the ROM.

The only problem I have had with the ROM is the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail bug. I also figured out that it is the cause of my audio issues very similar to the KK third party dialer issue even without any other dialers installed. Whenever I listen to a voicemail using the app, from then on no audio is transmitted on calls until I reboot.

I may play with some of the LP ROMs, but none of them currently appeal to me like this ROM did.

I think it may be time to finally retire my SGSII.

Thanks again Sultanxda for all the great work, and for extending the life of a phone that has been past its prime for a while now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Pretty much echoes my thoughts also, this ROM runs fine on this device. When/if LP gets stable for this device it's probably going to be months down the road. KK took about a year to finally get a stable ROM for this phone (stable as in no RRs, crashing and freezing during normal use). In fact this is the only ROM I've ever been on this long. I've been using this since September of last year, tried CM12 and Validus LP each for a few days with nowhere near as good results. When I upgrade it'll be time to try new ROMs once again. Until then this ROM is the phone's swan song. Thankfully this buys me several months if need be.

That is not the only camera app you have right ? You can uses the other one or download another one (no really fix for it )

P.S: I remember that when I was using this Rom, there is two cameras installed. One is the Stock camera and the Cyanogenmod one (which is the one that don't work for me either)

He is probably not going to have a update on the CM11 because cm11 sources has been deleted from his computer. This Rom is pretty stable already so unless you find a bug (with a log) then he might try to fix it.

Re partition Testing

DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU NEVER HEARD OF SOFT-BRICK, BRICK, OR BOOTLOOP (YOU MUST ALSO KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF IT IF ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS.) THIS IS JUST A TESTING, I HAVEN'T TRY THIS (maybe will someday but not likely). SO TRY THIS AT YOUR

OWN

RISK

Ok now with that out of the way let's get started :)

I was thinking that maybe the storage problem can also be on the KitKat Rom (since lollipop Rom SultanXDA made basically fixed this problem but not for his KitKat Rom). So I thought of this resolution (might not work).

Here is the link to the original tutorial of how to do this. But if you are not pro (but make sure you ARE pro enough to understand the instruction to install the .pit file through ODIN) enough to understand all of it, HERE is the already made .pit file. [ODIN download link]

I recommend using ODIN 3.07 for this testing.

Lastly, make sure you use OFFICAL TWRP Recovery For Hercules for the 5th step of the Re-Partition and if you DO messed up, here is the download link for original .tar file of the stock SGH-T989 (which is Android 4.1.2)

Good Luck, and feel free to reply the result ;)

Edit: After you wipe everything like the mod guide mentioned, make sure you install the official TWRP recovery afterwards then the Rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:

Can I use this kernel for Android 4.3 XenonHD? Or is it only compatible with Android 4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
This Kernel is pretty much for this Rom only, since SultanXDA has designed the Kernel so it would add features and stabilize his Rom.

But feel free to try it out, but it may malfunction your current Non-Sultan Rom. (don't worry tho, since it's impossible for it to brick your phone. If the kernel doesn't work for Android 4.3 XenonHD Rom then just reflash Android 4.3 XenonHD, but this time you don't flash Sultan's kernel)

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

Regarding this experiment, I guess that it would work for SultanXDA's CM11 Stable. Since this post said it's working so.... :p

Anyways, try this out if you don't want to move your apps to the Internal SD card all the time or if you don't have enough space to flash that Stock Gapps :good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krebs830:
I used this tutorial to double the size of my /system and /data partitions, then installed TWRP and Sultan's CM 11 ROM. The increase simply subtracts from the internal storage (now @ 8.7 GB). So far, I've had no operational issues at all. :beer: :D

Read thru about the first 20 pages and didn't find any installation help. Several people asked for install instructions, but never go more than "Oh you just install it" response.

Can someone please help with posting how we might upgrade to this ROM.

Currently running CM10 from the stock installer.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
You should be rooted, if not get rooted.

-Update to the latest Radio, also update to the latest recovery (TWRP)

-Download the ROM from the first post along with the Kernel. (put these on your external sd card).

-Boot to Recovery, then go to 'wipe' and then 'advanced wipe?', then select all check boxes except external sd card. swipe to start the wipe.

-Still in recovery go to 'Install', select the new ROM, click 'add more zips' and add the kernel. swipe to start the install. The kernel will give you install options.

-After its done, tell it to reboot, give it plenty of time to do its thing, then your pretty much good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
I'm upgraded from CM10.2 before and now forget about what kind of Rom it is already XD

But here is the Steps:

If you don't have a custom recovery <-- CWM 6.0.4.3 or higher (I think) TWRP Any NON-Outdated version (recommended) usually if you have CM10 then you should have custom recovery

1. Go to play store and install TWRP Manager into your phone

2. Open it up and grant it root access

3. then slide from the left and select install TWRP

4. then search for samsung galaxy S2 with SGH-T989 under it

5. tap install and let it do it's thing

Installation Process TWRP is touch/CWM selecting using up and down arrow and the power button (confirm)

THE FIRST AND FIRST STEP IS TO HAVE THE ZIPS YOU NEEDED TO FLASH ON YOUR PHONE!!! (Rom and Gapps)

1. Boot into recovery (hope you know this......)

1. (optional but recommended) go to wipe and wipe the cache and dalvik cache (maybe system too)

2.then tap or select the install/install zips

3. Find the Rom folder in your device

4. then select it, either swipe to flash (TWRP) or scroll down to yes (CWM)

5. let it do it's thing

6. Reboot and DONE! (should be, reply if you have any problem :good::))

Video instructions for CWM recovey <--pls note that it's a different S2, so Roms it provided might not work and also the boot into recovery sections will be different

Video instructions for TWRP recovery <--- again it's different because of phone models (also the installation starts at 6:16 :p)

coming back from 5.01,but how?

I am using the 5.01 which is unstable compare to this rom. I want to using this but the phone is already re-partitioned and I like the extra memory. Is there any way I can come back to the 4.4.4. I know I need to factory reset and back up my data/apps. but how about the repartition? Help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
You need to remove the re partition on this because This Rom is not make for that.

If you really want that EXTRA space, then I have a "testing guide" that I have posted a while ago that you can check it out :) This is also re partition, but it's not virtual partition any more, it's partition for real. It changes your phone storages to the amount you like.

But doing this do have a chance to brick your phone (not likely but possible)

also having issues with battery

ive " daily driven" this rom for about 2 months now and for some odd reason the battery does drain unusually FASTt as previously mentioned by other members, this is the biggest issue ive noticed with this rom, ive tried looking around for solution with no luck.. some1 plz help us out! ;)

these are other problems i also noticed..

radio drops signal completely and randomly (doesnt happen often but it does) simple reboot solves this issue tho..

sometimes when using data it hangs "idle/frozen" for a while, forcing you you either reboot or switch off data usage and back on.

the local mic volume on anything that isnt a call is unusually low also, whatsapp and other voice recording apps (even the built-in voice recorder) have this issue.. sounds like you are "far away" from mic.

hopefully anyone can shed some light on these things..

info is always apreciated n thanks in advance =D
