After using this ROM for some days, I have to say my battery life isn't as good as before, compared to CM11 with gustavo_s' Kernel.

Can anybody confirm this? Or is it just the custom kernel working in favor of 4.4.4?

As long as you don't reboot the recovery you can use the cwm one. After flashing the nightly and rebooting you have the CM recovery installed. To get cwm recovery back, you need to flash another kernel and reboot into recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] varDacha:
Just to double check: now I am running 0715 nightly and some old gapps, so to flash nightly 0716 and latest

pico gapps

, I need to flash to cwm first, to get those data wipings available(system, dalvik..), for pico to work , and then to continue with normal flashing of rom and pico?

CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightly Builds

about gallery no video is displayed with app VLC I can play them properly

update form 16/7
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xhoster:
Yes, this is one way to do it. Just go some pages back to download a signed kernel to install from the CM recovery (if I remember correct).

After doing this, give it some time, since writing the ART-cache takes a little longer than writing dalvik. -> Longer boot times on LP on first boot after installation.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lanchon:
only latest

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

if its already mounted then it probably doesnt need formatting. flash twrp, format /system, wipe data, re flash your cm and gapps, and it should work

Could it be I have been too unpatient when it comes to waiting after flashing with cyandelta updater?

The LP bootlogo seemed to turn around forever...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dr.Fix:
My phone turned of by itself two times today with 20150716 build... or better, screen off no way to turn it on.

Keeping the power button pressed few times let it start again... very annoying, especially because you don't have any way to know that's off....

to rollback to previous version I keed to flash it manually from cm recovery? no way via ota?

Hi all,

I just installed the 5.1.1 (12.1-20150715-Nighlty-i9100) and have few issues:

1) i am missing the Vibrate on pickup option. ( when i pick up a phone my phone to vibrate)

2) it keeps telling me that I ran out of memory (which is not true). For some reason my internal memory is devided to 2 parts.. and one of the is with a 100mb free, but the other is almost 7 GB... I didnt have any problems before...

thank you for your responses in advance.

Phone calls via bluetooth in cars.

Does anyone ever been able to make phone calls via bluetooth in a car? I never figured how to make it work. I'm able to sync the S2 with the car, get SMS and play music but no calls. I can answer and make calls but I can't hear people speak and they don't hear me neither. I'm on 07/14 nightly but I had the same problem with cm11 and before.

Thanks!

Rollback to previous version is possible from OTA menu if you have not deleted the old version from phone. I'm using this for regression testing if I hit an issue. No version check fail.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Just performed the same exercise to confirm that in 16/07 app2sd regression still not fixed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jojobg:
Actually after some testing behavior confirmed. If app2sd used upon first boot phone will get very loaded and apps will populate in apps menu sd section quite slowly. This operation may lead to forced closes or reboot some times and will continue upon boot. Once completed apps populated in apps sd section and icons appear in apps drawer and may be put on main screen again.

I don't know if this is supposed to be happening with app2sd and if this could be related : Tuning compiler thread count for optimal application install times (android_frameworks_native)

But it's a regression of some kind.

Confirm that after this on 16/07 app2sd is working.

This time the ROM booted properly after flashing Gustavo LP kernel and stock pit 2GB on Odin but I got a new problem. I forgot to format the sdcard0 before I installed the ROM and now, NO EXTERNAL STORAGE AVAILABLE shows when I open galley, no camera and some apps won't open due to this problem

. can someone tell me the best way to solve this without reinstalling the rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xhoster:
You could try it via ADB, but this could be tricky, depending on your ADB knowledge.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nomrae:
I don't have adb knowledge. I can only flash via recovery or Odin. Any thing else I can do? If I have to reinstall the ROM, I'll go for it. I just need instructions how to do it via recovery or Odin.. I was so tired yesterday finding a way to install the ROM and now, it's the external storage :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xhoster:
- just download Apolo kernel from this post

- install it in cm recovery and reboot recovery

- format /sdcard0 (would recommend ext4 if you are going to use stock cm kernel)

- flash cm nightly you want to use

(delete cache and dalvik-cache)

- reboot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kudos1uk:
You need to flash Phil's signed cwm recovery, don't restart, format sd0 then flash latest rom again.

has anybody successfully encrypted their phone using this rom? if so, how did you do it?

i try this rom (first unofficial, then this one) every month for a day or two just to see whether gps and encryption work but so far, i've always had very inaccurate gps and encryption that doesn't even start. not sure about gps now, but encryption is still a no-no. i haven't tried many things, only full phone deletion and removal of /efs/metadata.

Hi, I'm running one of the early official nightly builds and would like to update to the latest one. Because of a earlier try to get Lollipop on the S2 I still have this version of GApps installed and this means I can't install the Pico GApps as suggested in the opening post of this thread - there always is an error message.

Could you please tell how I can uninstall the outdated GApps version? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p3dboard:
You will have to download the latest cm12.1 .zip file, the tkgapps pico installer and a signed kernel with twrp or cwm recovery (a few pages back in the post someone posted a signed Apolo 8 beta 9 kernel - this has twrp), flash the signed kernel in cm recovery and reboot into back into the new recovery, then wipe your /system, /cache and davlik cache. Then using the twrp recovery, flash the cm 12.1 nightly build .zip file, tkgapps pico . zip file and then you should be ok to restart the phone. From this point onwards it will have the tkgapps pico gapps. Flash both the cm 12.1 zip and tkgapps before rebooting from the twrp recovery.

xposed with stock kernel

For the record, I have been using xposed with xprivacy module enabled for a few days now without any real issues. No lags, no freezes, battery life even longer than on 4.4.

Had had problems on custom kernels for 5.1.1 before. Lags disappeared when removing xposed but I really wanted to run it. Now I am on cm 12.1 stock kernel. However, I am not sure if it is really a kernel thing as I also: a) repartitioned to 1GB /system (22 MB free before repartitioning) and 3GB /data and b) removed all apps (incl. .android_secure) from sd cards.

I am on nightly 7/15, cm stock kernel, tk gapps pico.

The only issues preventing me reaching peace of mind:

a) wifi is often inactive (exclamation mark despite full wifi coverage). I read this may be some malfunction of the captive portal check. May eventually have to disable that check when I am sure about it.

b) cannot execute my shell scripts due to the PIE check. If anyone has a good idea how to best run sh-scripts, I'd really appreciate suggestions.

Cheers,

Luggage

Hi

I'm from Iran and I think I'm the only one here from this country. I think that countrycodes have problem with my location.

let me explain

I updated to latest nightly using OTA

I lost my wifi conection as usual, because first I have to change telephony-common.jar to replace "setWifiCountryCodeFromMcc" with some other function name to disable it.

is there a way to simplify this process on every update for me?

how can I disable setWifiCountryCodeFromMcc without having to reset factory?

Crash when screen turns off (Wifi?)

Hi

On 16-07-2015 nightly, my phone crashes when the screen turns off. It happens every time. As long as I don't turn off the screen, everything works fine. This problem happened before I installed the gapps (bare installation: wipe data + CM 12.1).

Here is the logcat:

Important information: The Wi-Fi chip of the phone is broken (hardware). I didn't have crash with the last snapshot of CM 11. I cannot enable the Wi-Fi on CM and of course the Wi-Fi doesn't work.

Can someone suggest me workarounds?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lanchon:
try deleting the *.ko (kernel object) files that contain the wi-fi driver from /system. (make backup.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zeitferne:
Which should be named something like bcmdhd.ko or just dhd.ko IIRC.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coyazuu:
It is indeed likely that the broken Wi-Fi chip causes the crash. You can check your logcat and see if they look like mine to be sure.

The only workaround I've found is to build CM12.1 without the Wi-Fi, following the idea of the patch sent in my last post. However I didn't test: I prefer to stay in CM11 and to wait for an official fix rather than spending hours to build CM by myself...

Good luck!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kudos1uk:
For people with Wi-Fi issues on S2, it is potentially a problem with a leaking button battery, all your phones (not mine now) have a button battery right next to the Wi-Fi, if it leaks you get acid all over the PCB.

I bought a cheep second hand S2 as a spare but it had faulty Wi-Fi (could not turn Wi-Fi on in stock or KK, this was before L), I opened it up, removed the battery and cleaned up the PCB, it now Wi-Fi works fine on all ROMs.

I was so paranoid about it I opened up my main daily S2 and ripped the battery out of it too, just in case it leaks one day. The battery serves no useful purpose, it keeps the time if you remove the main battery but the time and date are obtained as soon as you boot anyway (checkbox in settings).

If you are confident in opening your phone, it might be worth a look, if your battery has leaked the damage will only get worse is left.

My apps default to the internal storage, not the external SD card. However on some of the other 5.1.1 roms I have tried, there was an option in Apps as to preferred app storage (internal, external, or let the system decide). However in the CM 12.1 Apps the option doesn't seem to be there. Did you come from another rom with a different preference and not do a system wipe? There must be a setting somewhere to configure the default location, and it sounds like yours is set to external.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Blato:
I was on the latest CM11 nightly. I did the wipe. In fact more than once. On the first trial I found that the system partition is too small so I did some repartitioning. Using the method posted here

I used titanium to restore apps from a backup made on cm11. Is it possible that it has to do something with the file system? I checked and my internal sdcard is formatted as ext4. On the other hand the external is showing up as vfat.
