i gotta report i installed the latest build 18/07/15

1-without doing a hard-reset/clean install all my data remained but i wiped the dalvik + cache

2-the problem i had while uninstalling apps gone

3-the wifi and navigation working great (didn't test 3G/wcdma connection yet)

4-phone calls working good and i sense that the sound is much better louder and clear

5-touch screen responsiveness Much Much better the JB Stock firmeware

6-almost lag free ( if you give the phone +3 commands at once it'll take a 2 sec or so to respond ) i can live happily with that unlike stock JB

7-for gamers i think Subway is a good game to do test with and guess what you can play it almost lag free but you have to play it 3 or 4 times i guess it's like giving the game some time to make cache if there is a heavy game you use to play please tell me about it i use subway like a refrence if the phone capable or not

in The End We Should thank The Rom Maker for resurrecting our devices, I've lost hope upgrading to Android 5 long ago

By the way the Android 5 looks Great in the phone :D

Gapps

can any one upload the gapps on any other site cause the server is down
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Original Android Developmen] Yes I Did It:
I'm an Android noobie, but after a couple of days fiddling with it I think I've managed to install this ROM on my GT-I9070. This is how I did it:

If your device is semi-bricked, or stuck in a recovery loop (as was mine), put your device in Upload Mode (Vol Down+Power+Home) and restore the stock JellyBean ROM via Odin v3.07. You should get the right stock ROM for your country and carrier on the internet, but I'd guess any of them will do. I used the Brazil (TIM) one, which you can download here.

After you successfully restore the stock ROM (you should get PASS on Odin), enter Recovery Mode (Vol Up+Power+Home) and open CWM 6.0.2.8, which you can download here. You can try the new 6.0.4.8 version, but it looks like it's broken and will only give you a black screen.

Then, from inside of CWM, wipe everything and flash some KitKat ROM. I used PolishVodka's one, which you can download here.

After successfully flashing the rom, go straight to the new custom Recovery Mode. Select Wipe everything for a new ROM (something like that) and then install the ZIP file for CM 12.1. You can find the download link at the first post of this thread or the current latest version (12.1 18/07) here.

After successfully flashing CM 12.1, install GApps. As the link from the OP is currently down, you should get the zip somewhere else, like here or get the Lollipop Base Gapps package for 5.1.1 from here (I don't know if these are the same thing though!).

Now wipe the Dalvik cache and reboot your phone. KitKat should start and take quite a bit to setup for the first time.

Though I've managed to install KitKat on this device, I can't get pass through the Optimizing apps installation step, it always gets stuck in one of the apps.

So... I still didn't make it to the actual system, but I've a feeling this is related to installing the wrong GApps. At least I'm much closer now, if I make it I'll update this post ;)

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Continuation of previous post... (sorry can't edit)

It worked! I did a complete wipe (including /system), reinstalled CM 12.1, rebooted and it went through the Optimizing apps step.

I then shutdown the device, went to Recovery Mode and installed GApps (20150710-arm) from wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps (the first source I linked to).

So my small tutorial probably works fine if you follow it thoroughly. :o

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Original Android Developmen] rn0rdin:
how you end up like that ?!! did you do a clean install ?

Wipe data

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

then install The rom it
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Original Android Developmen] Sami Kabir:
You have to enable Root access and debloat your system partition. Using CM File Manager, you should delete every system apps that you will most likely never use. But beware! Don't delete any important system apps like Phone, Settings, SystemUI, etc.

Some apps you can safely remove: CM Wallpapers, Calendar, Eleven (Music Player), Email, DeskClock, LatinIME (Google Keyboard), etc. You can install most of them again (in your data partition) using Playstore later on. These apk files are in root > system > app folder. This should free up 50+ MB on your system partition.

Try this GApps: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B9xxB_CnOnuxclZzcjllQjQ1OU0&export=download (35 MB)

No, with CPU Master and also have a couple of Tasker tasks that push the CPU to 1350 MHz and Performance Gobernor just when the screen is on, otherwise it goes down to ondemand and 200 to 800 MHz.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Mmm, no, it's just there under developer options...

I'm not sure, but sometimes when rebooting, seems the permissions are gone and have to desable andre- enable superuser again and everything works great again.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Original Android Developmen] 7RA13:
For me it`s not there and did a clean install, odin flash, then cm from tc flash, then 12.1

"Put boot.cpio.gz into /efs folder in your device and set its permissions to 777 (is important!)"

Can someone please post a link to a good tutorial for this step? I have absolutely no idea on how to do it and i failed at googling it :(
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Original Android Developmen] alaindupus:
Some steps...

Well...

First of all, you have to be superuser.

1.- Download any root explorer (if you have CM, you can use File Manager).

2.- Then, you have to go to settings and put the app in "superuser mode".

3.- Then, you have to look for /efs.

4.- Copy there the file boot.gz.

5.- There you go... It's difficult to explain this because I don't know which system or which app you are using.

I hope I really helped u.

Regards.

Edit: I forget to say you that when you finally copied the file, you have to tap the file and wait for the menu, where you can set permissions. It would be like several squares with checks. You have to check all the squares (that's 777).

Sure, you can to begin with a full wipe through CWM (format sistem + format data, like that said by TPD-21). Install ROM as usual. Remember waiting patiently. Because the installation process a little longer than kitkat ROM.

If you can't find it then you'll have to install something like: No-frills CPU Control, AnTuTu CPU Master or SetCPU. Using either of these, you can change your CPU's governor, I/O, minimum and maximum frequencies and many other things. :)

Give this a try..

Once you flash stock 4.1.2 firmware, turn off your phone (after it restarts and shows you the setup screen) and boot to stock recovery. Perform a Factory Reset and Wipe cache. This might help you fix the problem you're having.

hey sami Kabir...i tried it but it didnt help...

it also says that "the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and then the setup wizard has stopped..

Just do these steps - Flash Stock Jb rom

While booting in stock it will still show efs error no issue.- powr off and boot again in recovery - flash root.zip and use temp recovery cwm.zip . format cache and goto advance - fix permission and reboot - your efs issue will be resolved. Now you can use UKF app to flash boot.img and get twrp recovery and flash the rom of your liking ..not dont forget to wipe andriod secure and flash custom rom twice.
