Bug in CM12 for Galaxy S2

First of all I want to thank all the developers for considering the Galaxy S2 for the new lollipop ROM.

I am a happy user of CM12 but have recently found a bug. The bug is in folder locking option on desktop. When I locked my apps. I wanted to get a app back from the locked folder so I just used the X mark ahead of the name of the application which I thought would delete the app from folder and will place it on my desktop. But what it did was completely uninstalled my apps form my phone.

I have lost my inbuilt Gallery and Calculator app form my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

when no access point is registered it says : searching for wifi networks ... and it never ends too

Hi,

Don't want to sound rude or anything, but it find it amazing that people can end up on this thread and still ask this question.

Can't you see the I9100G section on this page ? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2

Enjoy !

This version is outdated.

Again, sorry for being so direct... But if you can't even find the right thread, you probably don't know what you're doing.

Before flasing anything, you want to read tutorials and understand basic stuff (such as fashing via Odin and recovery, nandroid backup, and go back to stock rom just in case).

Please post in the right thread (ie I9100G section or general tutorials).

Greenify

Would you recommend to use Greenify / Clean Master (or any similar type of app) to improve battery and phone performance? I read in several places that Android has good memory management and should be left to do its job without any helper apps. Anyone with good / bad experience of these apps on CM12? Thanks

I don't believe in benchmarks, only in my own eyes. And it's clear to me that 5.1 is lot faster and less of a memory hog when compared to 5.0.2. Actually, 5.0.2 was so painfully slow that I was forced to go back to Kitkat. Now I'm on 5.1 for few days and pretty pleased with performance. :)

Difficulty with PIT

I am currently trying to install this ROM.

I previously had the CM-11 but with 4gb internal / 45mb preload PIT applied.

I now find that I can install this ROM fine once the preload remains at 45mb.

However I was hoping to go to a 1gb system partition to install the full gapps. When I apply any of these PITs and install the ROM again (first formatting system/cache/data/internal SD etc) the phone is soft bricked at the CM animation screen.

Has anybody any suggestion how to get around this.

I have tried going back to stock PIT first and then to a custom one but that didn't work.

Thanks.

My S2 (i9100) and CM12 (Android 5.02) + questions

Hi

First of all, a big thanks to [MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION] for bringing CM12 to the SII. Truth be told I was about to give into the craving for something new, after trying several CM versions and other custom ROM's I stranded on CM10.1.3 which is the latest stable version and until recently the only one suitable for me as a daily driver.

However all that changed about 3 weeks ago when I noticed someone had made the effort to adapt CM12 to run on the SII, I was siked! I have been running the 25/02 release ever since and installed the 06/03 release today. I'm running the gustavo KK 04/02 kernel with CWM. So far I've been using it as a daily driver (it's that good) without much issues. Only issues I've noticed this far is that my chrome is a slug and that I get quite a few lags from time to time, also watching video's in the stock browser or chrome is far from ideal. Apart from that I have little to complain.

Since I had a few questions I've finally created an account on this forum, and although they might not specifically belong here. They concern the sII and this ROM, I've listed them to make it easier for you guys. All answers are ofcourse greatly appreciated.

What kernel should I run with this ROM (currently gustavo KK 04/02)? My main concerns are battery life and stability. I've noticed some big improvements since I've upgraded from CM10.1.3 + Siyah. Are there better options for me to give a go?

Could the lag I get in chrome (and the play store) be because I flashed a PA nano Gapps?

And then a question that might be food for fodder (sorry), what recovery should I be running? I've been running CWM ever since I've rooted my SII. I've read a few times that CWM is dead and that I should switch to TWRP, should I really? What about this CM recovery? Is that something to try out?

Thanks for any answers in advance and again sorry to post all of them here but I believe most of you will be able to question these easily.

Regards

Trikie

no need to fix internal storage (this pit solve it)

[MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION]

Hello,

and thanks for your work and for this nice rom (5.0..2 lollipop for sii)

please try this pit before doing anything to the internal storage

the internal storage is mounting fine it just needs the whole internal storage (data+sdcard0) to be a single partition

Its better to do it that way it will be fused like it should be and its working like that and perfectly (I tested it)

the pit file in the attachment

1GB system, 13 GB data

the preload 512 mb partion is still there I didn't remove it ( for compatibility with stock roms and dual boot)

the (UMS) which supposed to be internal storage (sdcard0) is 50kb !!

those 50 kb are there for compatibility with other roms but on this rom it automatically ignore it

and mount the whole 13 GB fused as (for both data and storage) and show on PC

the external sdcard is working fine too and apps to sd is working as it should be (to the external sdcard)

there are screenshots in the attachment

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giobio:
You are maybe right about do not install that kernel. Anyway, for the past, LA provided a kernel coming from Gustavo's one (see post #3).

Usually the kernel is installed after testing feature's rom to see if it improves what already checked. Sometime, as this time, installing different kernel allow me to use app otherwise not work or solve issue of setting error on boot.

If you install cm12, you'll find in the rom the stock kernel until you will flash another one. If you'll do that, to back to stock kernel you have to get it a part or reflash the rom again (maybe other way too).
