Could you link me to the 5/15 version and the GAAPS? Also, can I just update without erasing everything from my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
Yes you can update without wipes, since these Roms are designed to be flashed over the old ones (the old ones has the be Sultan's Hercules Lollipop Rom tho). :)

Here is the Links:

Rom

Gapps(Click download now instead of download)

TK Gapps(optional Gapps)

-I don't recommend you flashing TK Gapps if you don't know what you are doing yet ;)-

Flashing Rom and Gapps

-Boot into recovery, find the two ZIP files you had downloaded and select them (uses "add to quote" features to save time). Swipe to flash and reboot :good:

If you do decided to flash TK Gapps, follow this guide:

-Go to wipe>advanced wipe>check system, cache, and dalvik>Swipe to wipe

-Then back to home, go to install, and select the 2 ZIP (TK gapps and sultan's Rom) flash them and reboot

That is all you had to do, it shouldn't wipe your data that you had on your device unless you had done something wrong :good:;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davevidduong:
Are you having any problems on this version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
I didn't experience any serious problem with this Rom (I use it as daily driver). But it could had been gone because of tweaks I had done to the Phone/Rom:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iancarlo:
Thanks for the Rom! It's pretty solid, it has a great feel of the lollipop android OS and it's running smooth on my device but there's one issue that I would like to know if there is a fix to it. When I attach my earphones and play music, the audio plays through the speakers whenever I try to lock the screen. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks?​
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
Disable "ok google" detection

If you are using google now launcher then go to menu(button at the bottom left corner looks like 3 lines)then settings>voice>"ok google" detection>"uncheck" from the google app

It should be fixed now if you had disabled ok google detection :)

Where can I go with bug reports? The auto LiveDisplay doesn't seem to work. Setting display mode time of day (day, night) manually works fine, but setting it to auto keeps it in daytime color all the time.

[MENTION=6334923]LimeliME[/MENTION] Thanks for your help with the rx_wlan_wakelock problem a few weeks back. I don't know where the problem is coming from specifically, but my router was showing dozens of IP addresses pushed to my phone, even when I set up a static DNS entry. Forcing a static IP through the phone itself solved the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
I never heard of that feature on the phone, it's probably a feature I never uses XD (I'll test out what you mean later after I get homeyeah I see what you mean, time right now is night and set to automatic and it's color is "day" mode. Maybe it is a bug or something:confused:)

But you can upload a bug report/logcat of it either on this forum or directly to SultanXDA

P.S: YW(your welcome) glad it worked out for you :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iancarlo:
Wow! That worked! Thank you all so much for such an awesome rom. It's pretty much running stable on my device. Everything is working great on my device.

[Hardware Problem] Hardtime Charging

This phone is totally failing on me X_X

Recently my SGH-T989 is not charging right, I had to tilt the connector "upward" in order for the phone to charge. I had surfed online for solutions (it all points to the phone's charging/connection port broke[hardware problem, it's not the Rom's fault]), most of them points to replace the charging port with a new one, but that will requires lots of work (and I don't really know how to do "soldering" :p).

It's there a alternative solution around this? (No, I can't get a new phone my parent is not spoiling me:crying:. Instead they gave me the Blu Studio 5.5 which I didn't like a lot mainly due to the fact of the poor storage and it's stock Rom[there is no custom rom for this device, but there... SCAMs out there claims to made a custom Rom this device]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
I don't think I'll be working on this device anymore. I have a OnePlus One now, and there are many things to do with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:
Well I guess it's official . Thanks so much for your work with this and the 4.4.4 KK Rom. You brought some life out of this old beast. The KK ROM/Kernel is especially stable for those who are having issues with this one. Much appreciated Sultan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JukiCro:

Is there any skilled developer who can continue your work here and fix some things (some random shutdowns, muted calls,...) to make this final and stable?

A Little Confused....

So, if I'm looking to install Sultan's CM11 from the latest version of CM12, where does the flashing of the OS come in with this repartition undo? Do I just do a factory reset wipe in twrp and go from there?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JukiCro:
you have link and instructions step by step in third post...dude use search a little bit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daviqh:
That's actually what I was looking at when I asked! Where does flashing a ROM fit into those instructions? Can I use my /data from cm12 in a fresh cm12 install? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] en!gma:
First off, thanks Sultan for a great ROM. I honestly wasn't expecting a stable 12.1 ROM for the GSII seeing as it's getting pretty old at this point.

That aside, I ran into a pretty big problem just now. I starting copying some audiobooks from my PC to the phone's internal storage, left to do some house work, and came back to find my internal storage and SD card wiped of everything but the audiobooks I'd just copied. Lost a lot of pictures and video, so it's pretty disappointing. Anyone have any idea what's up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ricthot:
I'm having this issue as well ONLY ON CM based roms... really weird, as soon as I switched to PA 5.1 (or any other PA KK rom), charging started working again as normal... weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
If that is what happened.... :\ I guess I will do some testing with the phone this weekend
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
It's has been tested [just now], that it is my phone's hardware problem. Switching to another Rom didn't help at all :\
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Soldering SMD charging ports is not for the faint of heart. If you can get a phone with a trashed display, the motherboard swap is pretty simple. Otherwise, an external charger and extra battery or 2 is the best way to go.

One more thing... Thanks Sultan for all the work on the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
Thanks for the tip, I think I'll move on to the Blu Studio 5.5 and just uses the S2 for testing Roms purposes :) Since it can be charged if I placed it in a "special" position
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spit2fire4:
Is anybody using xpose with this ROM? I keep getting random reboot with it. Never had the problem with previous versions. Just want to find out experiences from those using xposed with with this rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
I'm using xposed with this Rom [5/15] and no problem at all :)

If you are experiencing problem with the Xposed, try make sure the Xposed Zip that you had flashed is the Right Version (For Android 5.1 and Arm (Not 64))

If not, you can find the xposed zip for Android 5.1 at this thread, download the one that is not Arm64. This time wipe dalvik and cache, flash the Rom again, then the xposed zip.

If it still doesn't work, then your next option is to do a factory reset, flash the Rom & Gapps, then the Xposed zip.

I did find sleep of death with this Rom, I set the I/O scheduler to NOOP and problem solved(setting>Performance>I/O scheduler>Set from DEADLINE to Noop) Not sure if that change anything :confused:

If it still doesn't work for you, then feel free to reply :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ulibube:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zeekoshrub:
I've reflashed this rom a few times. I still don't know what step 6 is doing. Sometimes i do step 6 and sometimes i forget about it. "This will copy everything from /data to /sdcard (since /sdcard will become /data)." That part blows my mind. I don't have anything important on my phone i need to save so i skip backup steps aswell. i do get bsod sometimes. It might just be superstitious but it seems it almost never happens if i don't use the power button to turn off the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markusrow:
That part 6 is not necessary, especially if you backup your app data with something like Titanium backup.

Also once you are on this ROM (5.1 or 5.1.1) , you can refresh the ROM in one step, just flash it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davevidduong:

Funny thing was I thought he was not that happy with that device and said it was basically junk (at least some of the hardware). But yeah, don't really blame him. Just not enough users here to stay motivated compared to all the users over there. This thread should probably get locked soon unless someone wants to carry on this ROM. Otherwise there will still be posts "how do I fix data" 6 months from now. This ROM is not a DD at this point and now will never be. So if anyone still uses it, they should accept the issues that come with it or use another one that is updated and/or stable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
Not really the number of users, but more like I want to spend time programming the actual phone I use (and the issues on the Galaxy S2 are frustrating and not fun at all to fix). One month of work later, my OnePlus One isn't that bad, and even if it was, I probably wouldn't go and sell it as I'd lose $100+ when I've only owned the device for 2 months.

The camera on the OPO still isn't that good though.

Well you left a lasting legacy for this device. I stress this is just my opinion, but you gave us the only stable ROM (CM11) this phone has ever had, at least of everything I have tried which was too many to mention here. If there was one other ROM that came close to being stable it was PA KK. Other than that, every single one always RRd on me or froze up either frequently or occasionally. Yes that includes several JB ROMs I tried too!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cpnfantstk:
The funny thing is that this is the first ROM/kernel that I've ever flashed. I really got lucky finding a stable one right off the bat. I'm referring to Sultan's KK ROM. Viper4android works flawlessly with it as well. That's a huge plus. I'll be using this phone as a primary for a little while longer then I'll be using it as a secondary WiFi /podcast/ music player only.

Can someone help me undo the repartition I tried what the 3rd post says and it didn't work? I can't wipe the data, and my phone is just on boot loop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
Did you go to this post? The third post is about installing the virtual partition not removing it. And you are not suppose to wipe the data, instead you wipe the internal SD card( or Internal storage). This is how to remove the virtual partition (pretty much the same thing of Sultan's instruction to remove it :p

1. Copy either this zip<TWRP 2.8.6.0> or this zip<TWRP 2.8.7.0> to the external SD card (or you could try transfer it to the phone through recovery)

2. Put the external SD card into the phone (skip this if you had successfully putted the file through transfer)

3. Boot into Sultan's recovery, then go to install and flash the Offical TWRP zip

4. Go back to TWRP home screen, click reboot and recovery

5. After you are in the Offical TWRP recovery, check the top and make sure it says either TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0 or 2.8.7.0

6. Now, go to wipe>advanced wipe> internal sd card>swipe to wipe

7. Now you can get back to the TWRP home screen and flash any other rom you had wanted :)

If you had any questions feel free to reply :o:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davevidduong:

You install this app... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovejoy777.rroandlayersmanager

Then you will have "Layers" option in settings, that is the theme engine.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
You flash it through recovery then a "installer" will pop up and now select the changes you wanted, but it is unnecessary if you don't want to tweak anything like cpu and gpu speed :)

Quick question. I have Sultan's stable Rom now (4.4.4), I wanted to ask a question about the internal storage. For some odd reason it is now split when I go into my manage space in settings. When I connect it to my laptop it says that I only have 8 GB instead of my 12 GB. Is there anyway to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] claudiobar:
Hello fellow herculians! I'm facing a VERY strange issue with my phone, after trying Sultan's CM12 rom. I /think I/ succesfully performed the virtual repartitioning. It feels great, but rebooted randonmly and, since it's been discontinued, I thought I'd better change to a more stable rom. When performing the undoing of the virtual repartitioning, I encountered an error, but I can't recall exactly what it was, I didn't pay much attention since the rest of the procedure did ok, and I succesfully had official CM11 running afterwards.

To make it short, I'm now unable to flash new roms other than stock, and I'm seeing some other symptoms:

TWRP cannot acces external sd cards nor the internal memory!

When I click on INSTALL and then STORAGE, I can't see anything to browse through nor folder or drive to choose (below, the structure of the folders I cann access is like this: / and folders from boot to TWRP)

Under the WIPE option, if I try to factory-reset it doesn't work, and I get this error: "E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/cache .../system .../data", "E: Unable to locate storage partition for path...", "E: Invalid block device..." and a lot of stuff of that sort.

The advanced wipe ONLY shows the dalvik cache and it doesn't work either

The repair or change file system gives me "Ivalid partition selection"

When I select "Software update" in the "about phone" section, a message appears stating "no firmware"

I tried flashing CWM recovery, but it doesn't even boot. I tried flashing a pit file I found somewhere. I tried flashing two stocks rom, reverting everything back to stock as much as I can, no luck either. Every time I flash TWRP, I find exactly the same limitations :(

So please! Anyone caring to shed some light?? :D

I would, but I can't flash anything from TWRP (including a new TWRP) because it can't access any storage at all. My next option would be sending a new recovery via ADB, but my computer is several hundred miles away right now. Oddly, I found out I can still boot into Android despite TWRP thinking my system has no partitions, so I'm just going to deal with this ROM until I get back home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LimeliME:
If you are still have TWRP recovery. try boot into it and go to wipe>advanced wipe>select one of the section (system, data, internal sd card, etc. Select one that shows error)>tap on repair or change file system>change file system>EXT4

After all that it should be working, if not try ODIN back to the STOCK ROM and ODIN TWRP recovery (If you don't know how to ODIN, try this post)

At this point is should be working :) If not then you might have a corrupted SD card but feel free to reply ;) Hope this helped :good::o
