Of course, you've encountered a System UI crash.

The answer? Yes, and it will happen again, not so often by the way, because is caused (in the 90% of cases) by a high memory usage.

Hello all.

Could you please advise is GPS works fine with CM12.1? Interesting in workout trainer usage like e.g. Strava, Endomondo, etc. Also what with battery life in this kind of usage?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cherryb8844:
I'm on build 26th January and I say one word for it.

Superb

This is not about GPS its about battery I'm using my phone for playing game a lots.

You can yous it as a daily driver and it near to stable build I'm using tk gapps with it only gallery app is stopped some times but their is more options in play store like a+ gallery,quickpic,myroll etc:)

2 questions:

- What cwm should I use for this? The stock that comes with cm12.1 is terrible.

- Anyone else having issues with installing OpenGApps? I'm trying to install pico but apparently I don't have any space. Any idea how I can fix this without buying an external SD card for my phone?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fubo73:
You should have read better this thread. About recovery, now CM12 has isorec implementation from Lanchon, so there are custom recoveries (TWRP and CWM) to flash separately.

About GApps, you should already know (before starting playing with CM12) that you should repartition S2. External SD is not needed at all.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jadax:
You're right, but I did read a bit and didn't find the answers to my question which is why asked. I'm trying to get some use out of my old i9100 so thought of trying cm12 on it.

Anyways, I read through the Reparted thread earlier - just wasn't sure if it was necessary. Which file do you recommend I flash with odin?

And the procedure would be to flash both the pit file and this rom together in odin right?

Also - I know about cwm/twrp - but I assume twrp doesn't officially support i9100 unless I flash certain kernels (maybe that's changed), which is why I was wondering which cwm people used with cm12 for this phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fubo73:
You must read more. In this thread latest pages are full of info about isorec and how custom recovery can be flashed without kernel anymore. Again, take your time and read.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BenjyTec:
LA always wanted this ROM and Gapps to work without repartition. [MENTION=4581663]Jadax[/MENTION], you could try to wipe /system via custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) before flashing ROM and Gapps. Gapps and some other stuff will be saved there. Make sure you're using the smallest available Gapps package. It also worked for me, and I have standard /system size.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fubo73:
Hmmm, right! I remember I repartitioned to let more apps to be installed on my S2! I did not touch system/preload, only data/intcard! Sorry for misinformation!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Boolian:
I'm familiar with the usual freezes/shutdowns I've run many nightlies of CM12 and other roms. Usually the restart is clean and affects nothing. This is different behaviour and persistent app processes are killed etc.

Also wifi-data gets screwed and requires a further manual reboot to fix.

I'm seeing a SysRq : Emergency Remount R/O which is unusual.

I'm reverting to 2016-0121 to see if the problem persists, but I don't believe it's memory related.

Help yourself to the log;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] phixth:
Hey guys,

I just wanna say thank you. I'm running cm-12.1-20160109-NIGHTLY for almost a month and it's perfectly stable. I'm also running a kernel-Lanchon-TRIM-FreezeFix-TWRP-20160111-cm-12.1 so it might be also because of that, but whatever it is, the device is now fast and stable. Good work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0lits:
various bugs :c

i just flashed the cm 12.1-20160129-NIGHTLY-i9100 last night & after some observations, i just noticed this things:

-battery is draining faster than the stock firmware, even if i'm not using the device...i tried to adjust everything in the settings...& even if i'm just checking in Settings, the phone gets a little bit warmer...but luckily, the phone never gets too hot...i don't know if it is the battery that causes the problem or the rom or the phone itself :c

-there's no Enter Key in keyboard...

-Greenify's Hibernate Lockscreen shortcut doesn't turn the screen off...i tried turning on the greenify services in settings to no avail...

-i want to try Triangle Away app to get rid of triangle icon in bootscreen but i'm doubting if it'll work because my device is just converted i9100..(this is shw-m250k originally)..

i need your expertise guys...thanks in advance!..

PS. i can't read the whole thread because my (internet)data allotment is limited only...sorry guys...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cherryb8844:
Your every observation is false this is nightlys only for sgs2 i9100 not other so changed info of device is aspected about battery life is good for me and greenfy worked properly with xposed or without

Deepsleep is awesome

About keyboard I think you are using aosp keyboard first time enter key is always there

And about using triangle away app use philz kernel when you start from scratch I naver have triangle because I use philz kernel for rooting reparation and gaining custom recovery then flashed latest kitkat completable recovery so no triangle :)

Hi guys, 'ssup?

Just wanted to update here that CM13 is becoming very soon official nighty builds, you guys should check what's goin' on the thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-cyanogenmod-13-t3223808

For those of you who are a little experimental, the alpha6 is pretty stable and smooth. The first official nightly has not been uploaded yet, but check it out 'cuz soon it happens!

Cheers for [MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION]! :victory:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0lits:
so you're saying that this isn't compatible w/ other s2 variants even if it is converted into i9100?..

how to change the keyboard then?..would that possible without installing other keyboards?..

also, the signal icon has an exclamation point sign...what does that mean?..the signal is fine...sending & receiving text isn't a problem...

how to get rid of that triangle icon without installing triangle away?..reflashing i9100 firmware, reflashing cwm kitkat compatible recovery, then flashing cm12.1/gapps again??..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0lits:
who tried the latest CM update?..any feedbacks?..

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Sercan Ali:
How can we update two from alpha 6 build? From cm recovery it can't be. I can only use emulated storage but I don't know where is it ( I wanna copy twrp zip to there but I can't ) I installed root explorer but I don't know how to find emulated storage. Please help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] the.gangster:
- Possible, depending on GApps package type it includes [KeyboardGoogle] which replaces AOSP/Stock keyboard. As by default only in Super and Stock GApps package.

- Check your APN setting for the exclamation mark.

- without triangleaway: yes, Flash Sammy ROM by ODIN and start again from scratch: e.g. :philz-touch_3.00_i9100-signed.zip -> philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.zip -> check if need to repit depending on Sammy-ROM -> repit if needed -> format everything with philz_touch_6.48.4 if repitted -> flash CM12.1 and GApps

?? This is not the CM13 thread!

On CM13 to appear in the recovery it used to be this path: /data/media/oob/0

Didn't try alpha6, yet. But with older builds that worked. Files needed to be signed.

Feedback after tested cm 12.1

Hello,

Here my feedback after tested cm 12.1 Lollipop. But before, you need to know I used cm 11 kitkat during 18 months.

Lollipop cm12.1 build snapshot is really slower and most unstable than kitkat cm11 build M12 snapshot.

On Lollipop, the menus pop one or two seconds after touched the screen. It’s too long for me. The Google search app appears about 5 seconds after touched the search bar on launcher. It’s unacceptable on this device. Many apps (updated) are really more slow than same apps on kitkat. And final punch, there are some issues which generated a kernel panic on my device. During two years on android 4.x cyanogenmod I had never get a kernel panic.

After two weeks on Lollipop cm 12.1, the conclusion is fast : this rom is bad in comparison of kitkat cm 11. I decided to return back on kitkat, more smoothly and fast with no issue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ajislav:
Don't use the snapshot, several bugs have been fixed since..

Download the latest CM12 nightly and you will be surprised...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Latest cm12.1 nightly for the S2 is really good. Good battery life and good performance. It's a 5 year old phone.. And still usable. I'm using a S5 with cm13 but I'm amazed at the S2.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stéphane.M:
[MENTION=502178]n3m3sis[/MENTION]: can't you download the 12.1 nightly directly from the phone?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] n3m3sis:
I can and have but it wont install it from recovery and will not install it from storage. I'm guessing the kernel is incompatible :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] franticfreddy:
You should try to flash TWRP with Download-Mode in ODIN on

your pc. (Search this forum for twrp recovery .tar file)

Do not make auto-reboot in ODIN, just wait when flash

finishes, then take out battery, wait 10 secs, then turn phone on

into recovery, then flash isorec twrp recovery by Lanchon and directly

after that , flash your CM12.1 from sd-card.

Good luck.

Best regards.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cherryb8844:
Your conclusion is false you're tested a older snapshot that have lots of bug I'm still on 26 January nightly and its called stable build for me compare with kitkat in smoothness awesome

I just say you give one more test then you're going to love with lollipop :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] marzametal:
Does this mean, no more nightlies for 12.1?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jojobg:
@ Lysergic Acid - Since now it's official nightly I though it should be in the ORIGINAL area rather than DEVELOPMENT. But still you need to make some kind of update on the OP and warn users not to flash OTA newer than 03th of February, before you reach final agreement with Lanchorn regarding the in place re-partition during update process. It's sad that we reach a point that such operation is mandatory to use CM13 fully with gaps. But what a long path the community walked, 2 year ago I would not expect to see isorec, Mali leak and CPU freeze fixes in CM11 and CM12.1. I guess it's matter of time to merge trim in nightly.

@ all - Thread should not be closed or deleted, people will continue to use CM12.1 and will need support, CM11 still lives on ;) The same will be with CM12.1. For me personally soon I'll need to check if MadTeam are still moving around I have alive Europa lying around that needs fresh flash of CM10.* ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] daniu:
Where in my post do you see the word delete?

Still - I think the idea to close threads of ROMs that are not developed further is not good. People keep using it and have questions that others might be able to answer. Even without new ROM versions problems could be solved: someone might find a way and share it.

I've tried using screen mirroring to Chromecast but it always fails. First the TV goes to black, then a message pops up in the phone stating that the transmition stopped, and the Chromecast goes back to its "screen saver". No image is ever transmitted to the Chromecast.

I tried both with the native Cyanogenmod feature (on Definitions > Screen) as well as the Chromecast app from the Play Store.

Is this feature not implemented for this phone? Or is there something wrong?

I'm on the last CM12 nightly, but I also tested it in some older nightly from August with the same result.

(There's nothing wrong with the Chromecast itself, since another phone (different model) running stock ROM is able to screen cast)

Cheers guys
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ajislav:
I believe, this is a known CM12.1 issue. I get the same results as you.

Have you ever use ODIN to change the system partition size from original 512k to 1G before? If never, then your system partition size too small for CM 13 Gapps.

WARNING !!!

CM 12.1 + Link2SD users ( Multi-partition SD Card ) planning to upgrade to CM13.

CM13 will detect the secondary primary SD partition, do not format via CM13 native tool because it will format your full SD card.

My assumptions are that Link2SD will create the proper mount scripts upon installation and configuration. someone to test and report back please.

Lost root, developer options don't help

Hello,

Until a few days, I had root and CM12.1 and everything was fine.

I will describe the progress, which brought me to the point, where I have no root and need your help:

I accidently updated to CM13, there were lots of errors of course, I want to go back to CM12.1.

Flashed the CWM 6.0.4.5 (which I used before to get to CM12.1, but the CyanogenModRecovery was installed over CWM. I didn't change that permanently, because I didn't work in the recovery), wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format /system and then flashed the latest nightly of CM12.1 and the Gapps. Restarted the system ("Fix Root?" --> I tried already both, yes and no)

Then, in the developer options, I switch Root for apps.

Now the problem is, that every root-app (eg: Root Checker) tells me, that I have no root.

To be exact: "Root access is not properly installed on this device, device GT-I9100, Android Version 5.1.1"

In addition to that: "Superuser Binary Files: Installed"

I have searched the entire night and day and I have no ideas. All those threads I read about "lost root" are solved with the developer options or not at all. As you will already have noticed, I am a beginner. I would be very happy about every help, that can solve the problem.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] daniu:
The solution is: flash some nice kernel with nice recovery with odin

(if your usb connector does not allow connecting with odin buy a new usb connector and do not ask how to solve this without that)

Then restore your nandroid of cm12.1

If you do not have a nandroid let the experience sink deep in your brain, meditate on it and never forget it. Then check the thread of cm13 and find how to get out. The answer is there 100 times, next to 1000 questions about it ... why did you think you were the only one experiencing this?

Thinking about this mess now I think it is basically cm's fault:

-shipping their ROM with a crappy recovery that cannot even do nandroid backups

-publishing a new major version as if it was some new nightly

-not checking the new ROM properly - even flashing zips does not work with this recovery.

However I still also cannot believe that there are really mod edit out there that flash a nightly like this - as if it was some new version by Samsung ...

I believe by selecting YES for the recovery fix question, you broke root.

You need to go to recovery, wipe /system, flash CM12.1 and GApps (optional). Afterwards it should work.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lukss12:
What were you guys thinking when you installed a new nightly with a big "CM13" in its name? At least I think you will learn that you need to be careful here if you want to avoid problems.

The thing is:

1- the easy way is to flash twrp through odin and flash cm12.1 nigthly and gapps.

2- if your usb is broken and can't use odin or you don't want to use it for wathever reason refer to cm13 where are the answers to this or try Lanchon's stuck recovery solution

Also it would be wise to install an isorec by [MENTION=4141005]Lanchon[/MENTION]... Just flashing a zip and this problems would not even existed.

Ask CM...

[MENTION=4141005]Lanchon[/MENTION] is it possible to install the .cpio image to the recovery partition with an script directly from android term? That would be a potential solution for these problems and the thread will not explode here.

EDIT: Never mind, it took me 3 minutes to find this

stuck recovery solution

Now the question why not to bundle the .tar and an .sh to avoid mistyping and finally get rid of this insane tsunami of repeated questions?
