smooth as...

Thanks guys, a lot of very well intentioned and easy to follow advice here, rooted, partitioned and flashed kernel then flashed rom and gapps, phone factory reset itself after google acc password was verified, and then downloaded most of her apps from Play store restored, SMS and call log backups and now she has a lovely Lollipop clone S2...might take her awhile to get the hang of it...everything went very smooth and fast with the flash, there have been no FC or random reboots...Thanks again for your valuable insights.:highfive:

What does the developer have to fix? You are not providing enough detail. I assume you are facing problems with this rom, please provide logs if possible.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

You install it like how you installed it on CM11 (if you've done that before). If not, you need to download the installer (alpha) for lollipop (this will be an apk file) from the official website or from XDA thread (will take you to website anyway I believe), then install the apk file. Open the app, install necessary files inside the app, reboot and you have xposed. Not sure if it works 100% correctly on this rom, should be fine though.

Issue with cLock

Thanks for the great ROM for my old S2!

I might have however an small issue with cLock / lock screen. I cannot seem to make the clock display the time in 24h Format - whatever I try it gets displayed in 12h Format, optionally with "vorm." or "nachm.".

I should note that I'm using the phone in "Germany" localized.

CM 12.1 20150617 does not boot

Hello,

just tried to install 20150617 on SII. Apparently all fine but at first reboot the phone never reboots. It starts, and remains hanged with the smiling CM face forever (tried to leave there for 2 hours)

Install log from recovery mode states error (missing program, errors writing partitions)

More over did not install gapps at the same time, to be sure. Same problem, no boot.

The phone was already repartioned to give /system a 1G of space.

Now will try to install 20150430 to see if there is a difference.

first of all thanks everyone for this awesome Rom.

Maybe the gapps you flashed doesn't include the google app. Unless you are talking about the google play store, you probably flash the wrong gapps file. Did you flash a minimal gapps or nano gapps because regular gapps is too big for unmodified phone partitions.

Incoming calls

Hello,

found one issue/feature:

When you get incoming call and proximity sensor is covered phones display does not light up and is disabled.

That should not be an issue when you are carrying your phone in your pocket. But it becomes one when you are using the sport/running case that holds the phone on your hand - there is no way to answer the call.

Or is there any property to disable proximity sensor on call window while the call is not answered?

Are you asking if dorimanx kernel works on cm12.1? Yes, dorimanx works on cm12.1, just make sure to download the lp version.

If you are experiencing bootloops, did you wipe cache after flashing? If you've done everything and still bootlooping, you need to reflash ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

The inbuilt kernel will have the least bugs. Dorimanx seems to be more battery friendly and smoother than Gustavo, but both kernels are not perfect.

For inexperienced user, in built kernel or Gustavo is what I recommend.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniknarang:
Wiping removes all your data currently present on your phone, such as the contacts, messages, apps etc. So, it is always better to take a backup before flashing.

Also, you can use the official gapps from CM, which include google play. And, you can use the google mail after that, and a lot more.

Check partitions

I kind of had the same problem: Check your partitions - you MUST still have the /preload partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 which is to confuse named HIDDEN :) - or else Lollipop won't boot - even if the partition is not needed at all.

I had this, it was stuck in boot logo forever. I re-created the HIDDEN partition with 32 MB and after that all worked fine.

To check what the .pit file did to your partition layout: enter recovery mode.

From PC, your phone connected with usb connect with adb:

#adb shell

and in that shell run command

# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 unit b print

It should print something like (these values are the stock vendor partition settings, yours will differ from Number 9 on)
