GApps Downloads (unofficial; may not be new)

I'm throwing the two GApps ZIPs I have in backup on Dropbox, they should be relatively new as they were what I downloaded for the 3/18 ROM which is the newest right now. (thankfully i accidentally downloaded Micro by accident instead of Stock, so I have both)

Use these for now until a proper GApps supplier is found.

Cellular Data Limit adjustment

Thanks for the Great Great ROM.!!!

I guess this is most likely a Stock feature issue, but here it is anyway.

Problem: If you adjust the warning level for data usage - close to the maximum level of data usage - it is very difficult (impossible for my big fingers) to / pinch / move them apart. (See attached screenshot).

Also: Would it not be better to be able to enter the exact figures for warning level and maximum in additional to the GUI touch / pinch adjustment. (for folks with big fingers)

And: Would it not be a nice improvement to allow the metering period to be Daily in addition to the current Monthly period.

I have been testing the wifi behaviour is erratic. It connects fine to wifi I get access but data continues to flow via mobile network. I get the wifi icon with the exclamation mark. Until I reboot, then it's fine. But if I walk away from wifi range and it disconnects, when it connects again I get the ! Mark on wifi again.

This is frustrating as I have over spent on my mobile data plan. [emoji24]

I disabled the mobile data while connected to WiFi and although I still have the ! Icon on the WiFi it now connects via the WiFi.

Possible problem

Alright, i followed the instructions on this website: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/cm12-rom-w-1-836ghz-overclocking-for-t-mobile-galaxy-s2/ for this rom apparently, and I didn't know about the repartitioning. I've tried clearing /system and retrying about 7 times now, and every time, my phone fails to boot up, it just freezes after a while and enters a bootloop. On some occasions, it takes about 10 or so minutes like it's on the first boot, but it just inevitably enters a bootloop. Is there anyway to fix this?

Note: I'm using CWM 6.0.5.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kulkat:
Please re-read OP. It states that you must be using TWRP 2.8.5 and after the repartition you install [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]'s TWRP.

Welp, time to do sdcard mounts and reinstall CM11....then flash TWRP....then do this again...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kulkat:
You don't need to install CM11.

Just install TWRP, and follow the instructions. Do you have a micro sd? Just put all the files on it. TWRP, Sultan's ROM, and sultan's TWRP.

Then boot into recovery, install standard TWRP, and reboot to recovery and you should be in TWRP. Then follow Sultan's instructions and enjoy CM12.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lumamaster:
I unfortunately do not have a micro SD. Due to limitations on my computer, I cannot use ODIN due to parental controls, thus I have to reflash CM11, download TWRP Manager, use the browser to download Sultan's TWRP, and finally do everything else. Anyway, I'm almost done. I'll post if any other problems arise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phateless:
Apologies, I'm sure this has already been covered, but I could not find the answer by searching the thread.

Must the Sultan Recovery be flashed again with each updated build of this ROM? How about the data transfer package? What exactly does the data transfer package do?

Also, is the nandroid backup of /data only in case of failure/issues, or is that actually part of the process? Just curious on what's actually happening under the hood here.

Thanks! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lumamaster:
For some reason, I am unable to copy over Sultan's recovery. When I mount with TWRP, my computer doesn't detect it, as it appears the drivers failed to install. I can't download the files onto my phone manually as well due to the repartitioning.

EDIT: Reinstalled drivers, got it to work.

Still running the old February build, but things are getting scatty. Battery life went downhill, crashes once every two days minimum, I've been losing mobile data erratically (reboot usually fixes), and constantly running out of app space. Think it's time to update, maybe the upstream changes will help, and the partitioning couldn't hurt.

And oddly enough, sometimes it won't reboot. I'll hold the screen button, select "Reboot", and it'll keep showing the Android equivalent of an ⌛for no less than five minutes. I usually battery pull by then.

1. How do I install TWRP? Do I just boot into CWM and install the .zip from my external SDcard?

2. Can I backup /data by just copying that folder to my external SDcard? It currently shows the folder as empty.

3. What gapps do I install?

Ok... so I couldn't wait until the weekend to flash my phone... LOL ... Flashed everything yesterday... I did, however, screw up the 1st time... LOL...

I do have some questions, that I hope someone can help me with:

(I'm running the 3/18 build with repartitioning)

1. Everthing was working fine yesterday, but today,

I'm getting no ringtone when I receive a call. It's just silent.

When I go to settings > sound and attempt to adjust the volume, there is no sound. Was working yesterday. I did choose "Silent Profile" yesterday, but put it back to the Default profile. The alarm I set for this morning worked just fine. Was also able to play some music just fine also.

How do I fix?

2. I see that Privacy Gaurd is installed.

Will there be any problem installing Xprivay and Xposed Framework?

3. I had trouble copying the contents of my Internal sdcard back to the phone. I restored my apps with Titanium. I actually liked doing it with Titanium... seems cleaner...

If I was able to copy that info back to the phone, would there have been a need to use Titanium to restore my apps?

4. Today, I had my phone in my pocket and I went to get my keys and felt that my phone was really warm. I took the phone out and saw that it was on the boot screen (blue android with white eyes).... I rebooted and it came back up fine.

Any reason why it would do that?

I can't get this phone to connect to my laptop through USB. At all.

If I go to Settings -> Storage, the USB-related options on the menu are grayed out. The USB Computer Connection option in the three-dot submenu for Storage does nothing.

Drivers from Samsung for this phone are installed. Computer isn't seeing the phone. It tries to auto-install drivers every time I plug it in (even though the Samsung drivers are installed) and then keeps failing, giving "Device Unplugged" as the reason. I have tried switching cords, I've tried mounting the device as USB Storage from TWRP, nothing is working.

Still running 2/13 build because it looks like I CAN'T backup my internal SD. Laptop is Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit.

Only thing I can think of is to go onto Amazon, download DooBloo's Wifi File Explorer (old FAotD), and see if I can use that to do my backups.

EDIT - No Joy. I get archives named SDCard0 and SDCard1 that are way too small (8.4MB!? 439MB!?) and can't be opened due to "unexpected end of archive".

What are my options? I fear that my USB is damaged in some fashion, it only seems to be able to connect to charge. I hope that there's a setting somewhere, a box that I checked or neglected to check, that can fix this but if it's the USB itself my options are slim. That or the fact that this phone and Windows 7 are notoriously bad at playing together. After 5 hours of screwing around with Kies and drivers, I'm ready to call this a day.

the ROM from February 13, 2015

Hi All,

The rom from February 13, 2015 seems to work great. There are a few question I have:

*The battery drains really fast. is there battery saving mode?

*The bluetooth start the music player automatically. Can I make it start pandora instead?

* Is there a way to change the lock screen? I always land in the camera when I unlock the screen.

Why does the newer rom has to be changed to have the new partitioning?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obscuresword:
1) Yes. Fastest way to get to it is to first pull down the notification drawer and click on your battery icon. This will take to the battery stats. Next click on the 3 dots and battery save will be there. 2) Yes if the app supports it 3) Yes go to settings -> security -> lock screen shortcuts.

The newer ROM has a virtual partition now so that the phone can has access to the full 11 GB of storage for apps to use instead of the 2GB it usually has.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pahlevan:
Than you first for the quick respond. I have a few more question:

1)The notification bar turn orange in the battery saving mode. can that be change not to affect the notification bar?

2)I am looking for pandora to start when bluetooth gets connected but I don't see any option in pandora

3) in the lock screen shortcut, Is the way to move the lock button to the right spot?

In order to use the newer version of the rom, I have to wipe the sd card and loose all my data, mms, ams and application? sounds like a lot of work. is there an application that repartitions the sd card without the need to deleting everything?

Thanks

Couldn't agree with you more, I am also running this ROM without the "problems" being reported. The number of complaints lately have been ridiculous. Some are still bringing up issues with previous builds, if you haven't updated to latest version don't complain! All the instructions necessary for doing the re-partition and updating to the current 3/18 ROM correctly are in the OP and third posts of this thread, it's pretty clear when people ask questions that haven't read these posts carefully. That is why so many posts go un-answered, the answers are already available. Also, Sultanxda has mentioned various times that if you post about an issue but don't supply a catlog he can't help. Yes, instructions for posting a catlog have also been posted various times, search function is magical. I feel claiming the ROM is not stable is an insult to Sultanxda, after the re-partition this is the most stable ROM I have had on the ol' Hercules!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obscuresword:
This rom isn't stable just yet. Even Sultan himself has not changed the status from WIP to Stable like his CM 11 rom. However, I do agree that some problems are being caused by user error and the lack of logcats and last_ksmg doesn't help.
