you need to update rom to latest release. Lysergic Acid said latest build will have fixes for system partition.

You are getting nightly notifications since that is what CM updater does. CM updater doesn't give notifications to unofficial builds, only official builds. You can change it so that you won't get any notifications. You can install via OTA if you want. But I would stay with unofficial due to the current stability issues.

Not able to install Gapps

Hi there,

Ok so I have got everything to work fine except for the fact that when I do install Gapps, the programs are not in my phone. I have used the stock ARM Gapps from cyanogenmod however I have no luck getting it to work. When I do finish installation, and click into a google app it says that my phone is not supported and to try and contact manufacturer. Anybody have a solution?

Thanks in advance

Working Method

Hi,

I have gone through several methods and finally found the one that is working so far for me. In this trial i did face several issues such as:

- Google Services Crashing - gapp rather

- Unable to install Gapp

p.s Using the unofficial will not replace CWM recovery with the new one which is kind of useless The nightly official ROM will which means you will have to re-do the entire recovery if you want to make any changes via recovery.

Conclusion thus far:

- This Unofficial ROM posted on this OP is the working solution. I dont think the nightly are compatible - they work fine apart from the gapp which is a big part of the system - yet and may cause issues.

- If you have not partitioned your /system you cannot install anything above the PICO Gapp as you will not have the needed space.

To follow in my path and perhaps this has been mentioned by many others, though i wanted to share this so others can take part in it if they are confused or having issues:

- Use CWM Recovery as mentioned on the OP. You can find this fairly easily.

- Download the ROM on the OP - Unofficial - and not the nightly official releases. Always check OP for latest file:

Currently: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347760856

- Use the following GAPP rather than the one mentioned:

Current link: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347

PICO Version: https://goo.gl/2bgYrH

Again please check the OP of the GAPP for the latest and to maintain integrity.

1. Wipe system and data.

2. Install ROM via zip.

3. Install GAPP via zip.

Restart and things should work out.

Good luck and cheers.

The Best

LA!!!! Its been a long journey and hats off to you! It was one of your ROMs(December 27/28 or something like that) that convinced me to root my GT-I9100 in the first place and it was probably one of the best decisions in my life. I was stuck on 4.1 JellyBean and suddenly the next day I was running an Alpha version of Android 5.0.2 hahaha. I really admire the fact that you listened to the requests and replied to most problems yourself. One of the best devs out there and I hope you continue updating your ROMs and adding new features! Hats Off, and Thank you very much!

Fix for non-working factory reset on CM recovery

Hi all,

unfortunately I cannot post into official-nightly thread, so I'm trying here :)

Maybe I found the reason why the factory reset (esp. format /data) does not work in CM recovery:

The variable BOARD_SUPPRESS_EMMC_WIPE is set to true, which prevents formatting on devices that have the "Superbrick bug" (eMMC bug). But there has also been a fix on kernel level that prevents the problematic "secure erase" part: Search for EMMC_Bugs in CM wiki, in section "secure erase bug". BOARD_SUPPRESS_EMMC_WIPE seems to be a workaround which should not be necessary if the named kernel fix is applied.

I'm pretty much sure, that this kernel fix is also included in the current kernel, although I could not find much information about the current kernel used for our S2. Maybe [MENTION=5246166]lysergicacid[/MENTION] can have a look and possibly change BOARD_SUPPRESS_EMMC_WIPE back to false, so that "factory reset" works with CM recovery too.

I also have a log from recovery showing a failed attempt to factory reset attached.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
CM recovery is just crap in general. If other recoveries can wipe properly, there is something definitely wrong with the recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystaly16:
I totally agree that CM recovery is crap. But since it's mandatory for official nightlies, we could try to fix at least the errors related to our device.

This particular "error" is a safety mechanism, to avoid bricking devices that are affected by eMMC firmware bugs. There is a configuration option in S2-Repos that tells if it is affected or not. Because the issue has been fixed in the kernel, there is no need to set this option to true anymore.

BTW: Other recoveries just don't care about the eMMC firmware bug flag provided by CM ;)

Apart from the fact Synapse seldom saying "No UCI support detected", I can set everything as I want (mainly 200-1000 cpu range and BLN) but BLN is not working. Furthermore, after rebooting or turning off and on all settings are lost.

New users are advised to repartition and add space to system partition first.

The latest CM 12.1 release will fill up your system partition and leave no space for GAPPS.

I install just cm12.1, no gapps and everything installs fine and the phone is working with no bugs.

However, if I reboot the phone, it gets stuck on the Samsung splash screen. Going into CM recovery shows the logs as well as a "last_ksmg" file. The log mentions that "/misc" cannot be loaded.

I've since restored from a backup of CM 10, but if you want the content of the logs let me know.

I will retry with a new nightly in the next couple of days.
