I tested and i liked...

The only problem is the internal SD card and the Home Button doesn't worked.

For example: I pressed the button to change the launcher for Google Now Launcher and The launcher selection of not appeared.

It's a bug?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniknarang:
The home-button doesn't work to wake up the phone on the lockscreen. The above mentioned isn't a bug. Some other launcher has been set as the default launcher. To put Google Now Launcher as the default launcher, try the few methods:

1. Go to settings>apps>trebuchet (default CM launcher)>clear defaults.

OR

2. Go to settings>home>select Google Now Launcher as the default.

if none of this works, then re-install the launcher and try again.

No charging in offline mode

Hi All,

First of all, kudo's for this ROM, really nice!

I've tested it on my device and also have the problem with charging the battery in offline mode. It only charges while booted or in recovery mode. When powered-off it doesn't charge at all. For me this is quite a big problem because it's my testing-phone .. I sometimes leave it for days and then the battery is dead, with no way to charge it! Is there any way around this issue. Is it caused by this ROM or by CWM (used this to flash the ROM).

Regards, Martin

Hello bro.

First of all I must congratulate you for your work. It's awesome to use this Lollipop ROM almost everything works well.

i'm in the previous build ( I think that's 04/02 ) and I detected few issues on my build. I don't know if you have already solved it.

1 - I have a problem when I tried to import contacts from google account. The app crashes (NOTE: No on setup menu)

2 - Enable or disable WiFi from panel.

I just noticed. LA you have stated that if coming from 5.0 ROMs (CM 12) or earlier, we have to perform a clean install. I wasn't aware of this so I dirty flashed from the last 5.0 ROM CM 12 (before the EOL build) to the current 5.1 Build (CM 12.1).

So far, I haven't encountered any major errors, or maybe I'm just lucky. Is this safe? Or should I perform a clean install again?

Hello Lysergic Acid http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=6159291.. Thank you so much for still keeping this device alive.. I was so glad to find Lollipop for this device. I will donate to you shortly for the awesome efforts you have put in! I paid for my phone and hate to throw it away just because its not running the latest! You saved my phone! :D:D:highfive:

Everything works great on the phone, except for the calls. Its able to make and receive calls (when I call another number their phone rings and vice versa) but neither am I able to hear what the other party is talking nor the other party can listen what I'm talking. I tried searching through the forum and can't find anyone having a similar issue, which makes this really stupid. I did everything like you instructed- Installed Kitkat Recovery ROM, wiped all data, cache and delvik cache and then flashed the zip files and Gapps. Everything else works except for the calls.. Could you or anyone else in the group help me out? The sound functionality seems to be fine as I'm able to play music through the speaker and receive notification sounds. It seems to be specific to the calling function alone.

I appreciate your time and assistance. I know I am a noob so please be kind. I did search through the threads extensively and posting here only after not finding a suitable answer. :)

Kind regards

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysergic Acid:
No, not necessary if you don't face issues. I did that just to make sure people clean their phone to avoid issues. Experienced users can flash the ROM the way they like it.

Yes, we need to wait for CM sources to be updated as I build clean CM framework, I change only the device specific parts of it.

This seems to be the first report about this on the i9100. Are you sure you're not using an i777? This problem is a known issue on this phone.

Anyway, try to mute and remove the mute to check if it's the same issue happening on the i777.

---------- Post added at 14:47 ---------- Previous post was at 14:41 ----------

zRAM will not be enabled anymore since it worsen the phone performance, and we can handle 5.1 perfectly even with stock LMK values.

Check your RAM usage to see for yourself ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperJob:
When it works, it works. Clean install has been given as 'good practice' advice.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jangajarn:
Thanks Lysergic Acid. May be you are right. I bought a used i777 that was rooted and custom ROM installed and every time on boot it would say i9100. I was believing that the new ROM flashed (by the seller) "cheated" the device to think that it was a i9100. May be it is still i777 in soul. Sorry for wasting your time! Thank you very much though..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysergic Acid:
The i777 is indeed different than the i9100, but if you use a i777 kernel on a i9100 ROM your phone will be ok, but that call issue will stay there. I'm trying to help the i777 on that aspect, but first I need to fix the i9100 issues since that's the phone I have and maintain.

Thanks to GreekDragon, Giobio and SuperJob for your advice. Thanks to Lysergic Acid for the awsome ROM. I successfully updated at the weekend from Samsung 4.1.2 to Cyanogen 5.1 and it was almost as easy as I suspected. For anyone else interested:

Backed up my important files manually (phone connected to PC) and then backed up phone through KIES. Just incase...

Killed all KIES processes.

Loaded 04/02 Lollipop ZIP and Mez PAGapps ZIP onto microSD card

Used ODIN 3.09 to flash 3Gb PIT file with philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.tar.md5 as the Bootloader.

Booted phone into recovery - Formatted all partitions, selected EXT4 format when prompted for Internal SD.

Rebooted into recovery. Installed cm-12.1-20150402-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip.

Rebooted into recovery. Installed mez.pa.gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150402-signed.zip

Job's a good'un! :D I updated today with updated ROM and updated GApps. Minor issues encountered but nothing that prevents me from using this as my daily driver :)

Backup script doesn't exist

Backup script is not working for this ROM package. Installation script is calling (updater-script) to backup script but backup script files are not added in the package (root zip has META-INF/ and system/ directories, but not the install/ one).

In CyanogenMod 11 backup scripts were located in different place (directly in system), and updater-script works in a different way, doing mostly all work). Since version 12 they changed this behaviour moving backup-script to other location (the install/ one).

I was curious about the reason of such absence:

Are the backup scripts generating issues? (and this is the reason they were removed)

Samsung SII Cyanogen ROM packager (?) is too old and nobody has updated that?

Was it an oblivion?

That's the reason we need to reinstall Gapps every time we flash a new version (and the reason we cannot use the cm-50.sh mechanism for other overwrite protection).

And the last question :) : Is it planned getting back this functionality?

By the way, thanks [MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION] for all your work.
