If anyone may help...

Installed Lollipop in my International i9100, the usual, KK recovery, flash 4gb PIT, format cellphone to suit a new rom, flash rom, and start.

Works flawlessly, but when I start the camera it tells me to install an SD, it sees the external SD but not the internal. In the File Manager if I set it to root mode I can see the SDcard0 folder, but can't write on it.

Ended up changing permissions to media_rw:media_rw and manually creating DCIM/Camera folders. Now Gallery and Camera work. But I cannot install any gapps. Not even the mini, CWM keeps telling me there's insufficient space in the sdcard.

Pit worked, since I have there the 4gb partition, but looks like the permissions messed up and I cannot accede to it now. Been googling for an hour long and still can't find the solution. Has anyone run into this?

Edit: Reformatted sdcard0, changed to ext4, format for new rom, reflash CM12, fails to flash mini gapps, get into CM12 and now the gallery and camera fail to read internal sdcard. Also, file Manager in root mode cannot write into sdcard (owner: root and group sdcard_r). I guess that changing again permissions with ADB will again fix this, but I'd need Recovery to be able to flash anything into sdcard0...

Edit2: Everything else so far works, phone calls work, SMS work, mobile data and wifi work... And it runs quite smoothly.

Edit3: CM11 and Gapps installed perfectly and without any problems, from the CM12 Philz recovery. Will try to install Lollipop again, to see if this fixes the problem.

Edit4: Definitely not, CM11 started after a bootlop and some wiping/reflashing, but anything that relies on reading the internal SD fails, and the app drawer is completely empty. Gonna rePIT the thing.

Sdcard0 wrong size

Hi there,

in last beta3, file manager opens normally sdcard0 (internal) and let me see and use files, but the used space bar remains empty. So I tried Es file manager and it hangs when selecting sdcard0 (then phone reboots). ES reports sdcard0 size is 10Gb but it's only 4Gb (my pit is 1Gb system, 3Gb data, 4 Gb sdcard0).

This problem was absent in beta2, where es file manager worked normally and Space was correctly shown.

Via USB the drive size is wrong also but I see files and can operate normally with them.

No problem for Sdcard1

Hope this may help.

Hey guys,

I updated my S2 from 4.4.4 to 5.1 today (full wipe) and I was wondering why TitaniumBackup won't work...it always says "root access denied", but Xposed fore example works perfectly. I know other users had the same problem, but I was unable to find a solution (shame on me if it were right there:eek:), I first installed it from PlayStore, but found a thread saying one could solve the problem by installing the .apk ... needless to say that did not work :D

Anyone got an idea?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gwiel:
1. I didn't find the development settings where the used to be in CM11...since my update to CM12.1 they aren't there anymore. If you mean Settings->Security->Device administrators, TB doesn't even appear in the list...

2. Before my update I always used LBE Security Manager to deny permissions to apps, and after TB installation I got a popup asking if it might use SU, I think that was due to LBE...do I have to install SuperSU by myself to grant root permission now?

\edit: downloaded Root Checker, it said I've got no root O.o maybe that's due to full wipe?

How do I fix my root? I remember rooting my device ONCE about 2 years ago, I think I used CF-Root back then, but is that still up-to-date?

3. A whole new question: I installed Xposed installer (Source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811) in order to get Xprivacy instead of LBE...now I have the Xposed Installer App on my phone, but the Framework is missing and installing from the same source doesn't work (installation aborted). When I install it from http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer it says Xposed is not compatible with the Android-SDK-Version 22 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a) (may not be 1:1 the same in english, roughly translated from german) and CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE DEPENDENCIES: library "libdvm.so" not found

32GB SDHC

Hi guys, i know this maybe not the best place to ask this question, but you seem like a nice bunch. I always had 16gb SDHC in my S2, now i see 32GB works also. But not for me. I have both cards at the moment and 16GB works normaly and 32GB won't. What could be problem. 32GB worked previously in Note2 and was formated before i got it. I'm using this ROM and i really dont know what is needed for 32GB to work. Can anyone have suggestion?

Soo, guys, I managed to solve my problems, wanted to share it with you, just in case someone got the same question:

1. While upgrading to CM12.1, my root access got lost, dunno why. That caused e.g. TitaniumBackup to not work. Got it fixed by

1.a go to Settings->About phone->click 7x on Build number => Developer options get unlocked

1.b Developer options -> Root access ... was denied, had to enable it and voilà...since then, I had root and TB worked fine again

2. Xposed Framework doesn't work at Android 5.1 so far, because it got upgraded to SDK v22, but Xposed Framework only allows v21 in order to be installed...

Final question: is there any way to get Xprivacy before rovo updates Xposed to SDKv22?

You yourself are the best example for one of those...

"Unknown" in the call list

I updated my phone with the the 17/06 build.

Each time i call somebody, the phone number of the person I call is written as "unknown" number in the call list.

It's very annoying.

All the incoming calls don't have this problem, I see the name of the people who were calling me.

I had this problem also before with an earlier version and I update due to this bug but apparently it's still existing with the latest release.

Very strange, if i call somebody but can't get the line (e.g. i hang up immediately after I'm calling sombody), then the phone number is visible in the call list.

Is there a fix available for this ?

need to root?

Hi , sorry if this is a stupid question, but my wife's S2 is slowing down and lagging constantly and I thought I would put a cutom rom on, have migrated here after some research, and was looking at this rom, but feel it would be advantageous to repartition to allow for Gapps, so my question is if I repartition and insert kernel, since there is no OS can't I just proceed directly to flashing this rom afterwards, instead of rooting, flashing stock rom and then reflashing to this rom?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] essenov:
You can repartition along with installing the kernel. Kernel contains recovery, from there you can install the ROM. I had issues with the TWRP kernels, but when installed CWM kernel, all whent as in the guides.

thanks I'll try this!

Thanks for the reply, I'm doing the research now and plan on wreaking havoc on my wife's S2 in the following manner:-

NB Her phone has the following info

Kernel version 3.0.31-889555dpi@DELL144 #3

Android version 4.1.2

Baseband I9100XXLS9

1) Back up call logs and SMS with backup app

2) root using CWM SuperSU v0.97 zip flashed from download mode

3) create nandroid backup to external sd card

4) backup EFS to external sd card and PC (just copy across?)

5) using odin, repartition to 1 gb and 4 gb, mount sd card, format sd card, then flash lp kernel cwm trim for odin, flash cm 12.1 6/17 lollipop rom, then flash gapps 5.1 2015 06 02 15 19

6) then reboot and reinstall apps and backups of cal logs/sms...

sounds correct???

I tell you, due to the age of this phone there has been a mountain of information to sift through and just finding the right kernel for the model and build number started to break my mind. Then getting to root it, so I could backup important info like EFS and a nandroid also took a lot of googlefu.

So thanks again all and hope to advise in a couple of days when I get home...fingers crossed...success.

Just FYI trim is safe for the S2, as long as the correct patches have been applied to the kernel, and can speed up the phone depending on past usage. At the moment though there are no trim-enabled kernels for lollipop that I'm aware of. AFAIK you would need to use kitkat or earlier(at least for a short time) Some links for trim -
