dont worry, u chose wrong gapps packages or link (some have no google play). after flashing cm12, flash this one http://goo.gl/uMD5Fo

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

Bro, the easy answer would be: Beta builds are for testers as there will be noticable and minor bugs that must be reported and fixed untill those builds are ready to daily use. Without Beta status, builds are ready to public to use, there will be less bugs than beta ones. Best option would be to use the latest build.

Repartitioning without power button?

Hello everyone,

I would like to repartition my phone with bigger /system and /data partitions. But unfortunately my power button does not work. I still can get into Download mode, by shutting the phone down, keeping VolumeDown pressed and then plugging in a USB cable. For recovery I currently use an app to reboot into recovery, but of course that is not available directly after repartitioning.

So my question is, does anybody know a way for getting into Recovery Mode without using the powerbutton?

My last resort would be: Flash PIT+Samsung Stock software with Odin, then root, then going into recovery using an app and finally reflashing CM12 from there. But since that would be a lot of work I thought maybe someone knows a faster way for getting into recovery (without powerbutton) ?

Cheers,

crystaly16
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can get into recovery mode(and download) by enabling advanced reboot options in settings, then holding the power button. AFAIK this is the only other way of easily doing this

Having my device bricked due to flashing StockROM, I finally managed to repartition & install CM12 again using following steps (maybe interesting for someone):

Flash PIT and Stock-ROM (XXLSN) with Odin, reboot and format internal sd card.

Go to Download mode (by taking battery out) and flashing Siyah-s2-v6.0b5 kernel (this has a recovery with touch support, but no kitkat support)

Install PowerMenu App and use it to reboot into recovery

Flash CWM swipe 6.0.4.6 (touch + kitkat compatible)

Reboot recovery, perform a full wipe, format /system and internal sd card

Flash CM12 and GApps from external sd card

Figuring this out took the whole day, especially finding a kernel that can be flashed with Odin AND has recovery with touch support. Most of PhilZ kernels didnt flash with Odin, on some other kernels there was not root so I couldnt reboot to recovery :mad:

Although my custom binary counter is now 20 (was 3 before) I'm happy that everything is running now :)

Gallery and Camera says: No External Storage

Hi there, I successfully repartioned using 1Gb_6Gb PIT file and downloading Gustavos kernel via ODIN and then flashed the latest 5.0.2 ROM, but Gallery and Camera reported "No External Storage available".

Whenever I tried to format /storage/sdcard0 with "default" and then mount /storage/sdcard0 from CWM recovery, it failed.

I solved this by formating using "exFat", then mounting works and also Gallery and Camera now work.

Can anyone explain me why this occured and why I had to use exFat explicitly instead of default ?

Profile Settings and Mobile Data

Hello,

First of all, please forgive me if I do something incorrectly as I am new at this forum :)

I have I9100 phone with the latest, March 6th, CM12 ROM [5.0.2].

I did a clean install (used a different ROM before), and while everything seems fine, only one thing seems not to work: When I change Profile, it seems the Mobile Data setting has no effect. It would switch on and off things like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, change Network between 2G and 3G, but for some reason Mobile Data remains off.

If it a known issue, or is there some additional setting that I should change?

Best wishes

P.S.

It seems to go the other way around as well: If Data is on, it will not turn off through profiles, only manually.

No explanation, but I have kindof the opposite problem:

Repit storage (1 GB /system, 500 MB preload, 6GB /data). Internal sdcard is formatted with exfat and works fine in recovery and CM11.

In CM12 access quickly fails after accessing. So I can listfiles on one or two levels, not more. The phone is unusable without internal sdcard, apps like Google Play Services just crash. I reverted to CM11.

My problem can well be something else, but very few has the same problem, exFAT is what I have seen that may differ.

Big, big thanks to Lycergic Acid.

And now, maybe one of the main bug left for my current usage: Chrome seems to be very unstable, and hangs the phone once in a while. Chrome Beta doesn't have this issue though.

I suspect that this has to do with changing the general dpi (I'm currently around 210, instead of 240). Also, the icons from the home screens become blurry after that, but that's probably an issue from the stock launcher rather than CM itself. I need to do a little more testing in order to be sure and provide a logcat.

As other users reported, the focusing isn't working while doing videos. Moreover, the dynamic brighness adaptation (not sure how it's called), would also need some attention.

Here come my two questions:

1) Does Lycergic Acid actually read this thread ? ^^

2) Will we ever get rid of the somewhat pixelated videos from the youtube app ?

Once again, respect to Mr. Acid for doing all this work.

Some Questions before Installing this ROM

With the android 4.1.2 JB, your internal storage becomes separated into 2 right which is Internal Storage and USB Storage, but the USB storage can't be used to install apps, while u can only use around 1.7 GB for apps in the Internal Storage and u get 11 GB for pics, music, etc. Now in this CM12 ROM, is the storage back together again into 1, so that we can use like 12.7 GB for apps/pics/music/etc all mix up together?

Is the RAM optimization good? how many MB does this OS take if its new (still empty, no apps, only stock CM apps+gapps)

Is the battery good? I really have a bad battery in my SGS2 running 4.1.2 JB, but was good on 4.0.3 ICS, So will it be better with this CM12? will the battery be as good as when I used 4.0.3 ICS or even better?

How about the performance? Is it better than 4.1.2 JB?

How about a few features, can we still use motions and gestures from Samsung? can we still use smart stay? what about Wi-FI direct? (well motions, smart stay, wi-fi direct is not so important tho)

Can I still use Wi-Fi tethering? (because I really need this)

Is the Bluetooth fine? (I also really need this)

Is the camera okay? can we still use 8MP and can record HD movies?

Can I use CM12 themes? like the TouchWiz Lollipop theme made by others?

Sorry for many questions, I'm so curious and I really appreciate this ROM

Thank You so much for everything :)

Have a nice day everyone :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyltraq:
You can flash different PIT in order to increase the data partition size (data partition is what you call Internal Storage). Also Lollipop uses more space on the system partition and it is recommended but not mandatory to increase its size to 1GB (which is also done by flashing a PIT).

Note that you will need to flash the stock PIT in order to return to a stock ROM if Lollipop is not for your taste.

The system takes a bit more than 300MB RAM after fresh install.

AFAIK the Samsung stock motions and gestures are not available as well as Smart Stay. Wi-Fi direct is not currently working but LA said he will look into the issue.

Wi-Fi Tethering is working for me as well as Bluetooth.

Camera works too, both for 8MP and full HD videos.

For your other questions - either I'm not competent to answer (not using the features) or it depends on personal perception of the ROM.

question

I have problems whit gapps, what can i do???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weib67:
Yes, you do, as mentionned in the instruction post from the Xposed thread.

Maybe your phone needs to settle down for a few hours. Perhaps it is performing some media scans in the background. Else, as usual, you can check the running process.

Not sure what you mean by saying that "the storage back together again into 1", but stock partitions are the same as stock. As kyltraq said, modified PIT is just highly recommended, but not required for CM 12.

However, I think you can actually use modified PIT on stock ROM, as long as the preload partition is left untouched. You'll find more infos on the dedicated thread.

Camera isn't fully working yet, but as close as never. You'll be able to shoot decent videos or take photos, but autofocus and dynamic brightness need some fixes.

For Samsung features, I'm afraid you'll need to stay on stock Touchwiz. Wifi tethering and bluetooth seem to be fine though.

Themes are OK for me, but some people still have issues.

Performance is very good I think, but battery life is probably not as good as stock roms.

However, I really believe this to be the price to pay for running the latest Android version on a 4 years old device.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't think I'll ever go back to stock. Our CM12 becomes better every day thanks to LA work. :)

Salut !

Yeah, hard to find the culprit, since one can argue that the stable chrome version runs flawlessly on some devices (as on my Tab Pro on Samsung 4.4 Stock based rom). Seems unlikly, but not impossible, that this would only happen on AOSP based roms. But who knows...

Moreover, even if last comments on the playstore are often bad for stable Chrome, it doesn't seem to be a massive report of the "freezing feature" we are experiencing.

So, Chrome beta it is, at least for the moment, but I'll give a try for the 39 stable one. Thanks for the tip.

On another subjet, although I reported that Xposed alpha 2 works quite well (which is still true), it also seems to bring some tiny graphical gliches on the app drawer. Nothing major, but not as smooth as it used to be.

Not complaining, since the xposed mod is at an early stage (and yet very promising), but I wonder if some of you could confirm this issue.

Cheers !

I read a lot about the pit file.

Is it recommended to flas it or is it only necessary when you have not enough space.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenzo3:
Its recommended for you to flash it to have extra app data storage space, but I didn't rePIT and still fine for me (yet). I have only a few apps BTW. Just flash pico gapps if you choose not to rePIT, which is fine since Google Search is bloatware to me. Don't forget you need to format sdcard0 after rePITing.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weib67:
Well, I agree that you have to know what you're doing while flashing a custom PIT file, although worse case senario is just ending up having to flash another one and reformat.

However, I find it quite inappropriate not to recommend it, since the 2 GB partition for apps is way too small with ART, even for a very moderate usage.

First, you won't be able to install more than a few apps. Also, the phone risks to slow down very quickly as this partition fills up.

Those two reasons are enough for me to definitely recommend a modified PIT file. As always, it's up to the user. :)

to be honest that (as an inexperienced user) was my first thought.

no more caring where android puts the pictures, for exampel.

second, lp doesnt allow you to choose the external sd as default path for pictures. and i dont like to have the pics on my phone memory, to be honest.
