Hello. For a long time i sticked with the unofficial version of this rom, now i want to switch it to the official and I was wondering, I re-partitioned the phone so i could install bigger g-apps and so on. Do I have to re-partition the phone to stock to use the official?

Sorry if the question is answered somewhere in this thread, I tried to search for it but didn't succeed.

Thanks for the answers and help! :)

EDIT: I actually tried installing the rom. Seems that it is running fine. Thanks [MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION] for this amazing rom! I really appreciate you for keeping my very old device up to date! :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gianluca.cecchi:
Hello, I currently have nightly official cm12.1 (2709 build) on my daily business used GT-I9100 and it works very well. I bought an used GT-I9100 to further test both 5.1 and upcoming 6.0. Unfortunately I discovered that actually this testing phone is a GT-I9100P, so the same but with NFC module. Do you know if I can put the GT-I9100 rom on it? If I have to loose only the NFC functionality is not a big problem for me. Or any other tip for this particular model. Thanks in advance,

Gianluca

I doubt it but don't know for sure.

I just know that I have installed following one on a friend's one and as far as he told me it works OK for him:

EDIT: PLEASE IGNORE AS THIS WAS CONCERNING DEVICE I9105

Thank you [MENTION=3964850]Weib67[/MENTION] for clarifying.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Weib67:
Yes you can. For sure. :)

You’ll indeed lose NFC. At least until a dev enables it back on CM 12.1. It’s been done for every other CM version, but not 12/12.1 yet.

And I’m talking about I9100P, not the i9105 mentionned by the.gangster (it’s not even the same ship, so do NOT flash that unofficial rom on your i9100p !).

Edit: No problem [MENTION=6560258]the.gangster[/MENTION], thanks for editing your previous post. I guess we can blame Samsung for those countless Galaxy S2 variants out there. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] the.gangster:
Damn!

You're right!

Big mistake I made.

I'm sorry.

Puh! Just removed the battery! It still looked pretty good but I wanted to get myself some rest for the future - meaning to avoid ANY case of damage through a leaking battery...!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gianluca.cecchi:
Thank you very much. Can you confirm if I can also use the pit file I used on my GT-I9100 to repartition?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Weib67:
Yes, absolutely. But please use decicated threads for CM 12.1 unrelated questions. :)

Some people might get confused here, so I’ll just add that we are talking about the button battery here, and not the main one. ;)

My reboots/freezes ended when I changed the size of the system partition to 4,5 gb
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Weib67:
Question is: when did you change the size ?

It's maybe not impossible, but for me, pics of 2 weeks+ of uptime or didn't happen. :D

Moreover, I'm not sure you really know what you are talking about, as 4,5 GB of system partition would be crazy. Even if you meant data partition, it would hardly explain the freezes/no freezes as they keep on happening on any partition sizes. Guess you're lucky. :p

I just imported again some apps via Titanium Backup to my phone - all successful!

Now when I try to update them with Google Play I'm getting the failure message 'not enough memory' or similar, so I cannot update the apps via Play Store.

I attached a screenshot of DiscInfo.

Any ideas? As much as I can read there's still 470 MB left on the data partition...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Weib67:
[MENTION=349465]ringen00[/MENTION]

Some free space on data partition is needed in order for it to work properly.

This free space is used when updating (your case exactly :D) or for cache.

Seems that 500MB is not enough on a 6GB data partition. Level up !:)

Edit: (since it's kinda OT, I'll just edit this post).

About alternatives, just flash a bigger pit. That's what I meant by "level up".

I wouldn't recommend app2sd/link2sd, too much issue if SD card is not perfect. Or maybe delete some games. :pp

Edit2: Yes, you would have to format partitions. Nothing to be done about that, sorry !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ringen00:
Means it's already time again for going through my apps with Link2SD to move them to SD-Card to get more free space again?

Or do you see any alternatives?

But flashing another pit, wouldn't that mean to format the whole partition? Cannot do this now - using the phone :)

Update:

Just deleted the Download Manager cache: hundreds of MB's ...

Anyone experienced the phone is rebooted after got a miss call? [emoji849]
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] waterplanet:
I did have a problem with the phone freezing when I received phone calls. I had to call them back, because I was unable to answer the phone. I never experienced that it rebooted though.

Initially this ROM was very laggy with many freezes and daily reboots. However, after i uninstalled many apps, including the facebook app, and third party browsers, my device now runs smoothly with few problems. Freezes and reboots only happens occasionally.

So my impression is that this ROM works well, as long as you don't have too many apps installed at the same time. I guess this is to be expected with an older device like the S2 with limited RAM and a slower Soc.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cdrivex4:
20151104 seems pretty good, so far when I throw everything at it I haven't had a freezes, it can slow to a crawl especially when free ram seems to drop below 50mb (why does that happen? I thought 128mb was min free) an stays there unless you start closing some stuff... Then it's OK again, fb an all..

Edit- sods law, after I post all is well, I get my first reboot..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] khal_nayak:
i have been on CM11 from quiet some time now and works all good for me without any major issues, rare occasions it reboots but its still fine in general. I wanted to move to CM12.1 but i read about the know issues of cant turn on screen while dialing and reboots randomly, so is the first one fixed and the second any better now?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Stoku:
The turn screen on when dialing "issue" may be caused by covered proximity sensor with finger by accident. Never had problems with this one, for me works as it should.

Also haven't got any random reboot for a long time and the only issue i have is occasional freeze which happens rarely, average once for a 2-3 days on heavy usage and never on standby.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] khal_nayak:
ok thanks, ill give it a try today, i hope the battery life isnt gone down with CM12, i used to get around 30hours standby with 2 hours screen on time with wifi running always and no 2g or 3g data on CM11.

what i think the cause for freeze or reboots would be something to do with the mali drivers, i still remember from the cm10 days and also mentioned on the siyah kernel in those days.

I only update once a month, normally when a new stock trim kernel is released, I have now updated to 02-11 from 09-10, I think something changed in the last month, I have never suffered freeze much but now I find I can "feel" the phone slow down until a freeze, I tried to reply to WhatsApp message just now and the typing was sooooooo slow then ground to halt ending in freeze and me having to long press power.

I'm a light user and had the odd freeze before (one every 2-3 days) but it's worse than before now, about once a day or more, maybe more noticeable as I only change monthly.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lysergic Acid:
I don't think something regarding that bug changed, all I can think of is the introduction of bfq i/o scheduler in the kernel and updated drm blobs. None of these changes seems to affect the bug

i finally moved from CM11 to CM12.1, so far all works fine, im seeing excessive battery drain compared to CM11 but i guess ill let it stabalize for a few days and get back on that.

some other things i noticed was missing in the notification drawer tiles was few of the old tiles that were there in CM11, eg: i used to keep a toggle to switch from 2g to 3g to 2and3g combined, the other thing is being able to switch to auto brightness next to brightness slider which is also not there need to goto settings menu to switch that on or off.

Micro SD Encrypted

After an update the SD card was encrypted suddenly.

I do not know how that went. Since that I try a lots of things to make the SD card again passable.

Windows - SD Formater, Acronis, ..- Linux and Apple. But nothing is happening delete neither format or partition.

On Windows I can write on the remaining space, therefore, the SD of the hardware should be OK.

SD Formater tells me I should just remove the write protection.

With the Disk Management Windows 10 I can see following:

Patrtition1 FAT32: 24,6GB busy - 34.2GB free

Patrtition2 Faultless Primary partition 488MB

Patrtition3 31MB error free

I tried also with Diskpart. Partition deleted, created new and formatted.

100PROZENT --> error in DiskPart: The parameter is incorrect.

Maybe someone has an idea how can I remove the write protection ??

Hi,

Two short questions:

1. Can you tell me please how to switch emoji button to new line button in Google keyboard in stock SMS app?

2. How to solve torch switching off when I block the phone?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eminem_b:
Regarding the torch, I just use an app to workaround this problem.

Anyway, I also think that this should be looked into.

I'm not actually sure if it's a feature rather than a bug, but if it's a feature, then there's one bug for sure and that is the toggle's state.

It stays switched on after the torch cancellation, which points me to think that there shouldn't be a cancellation at all by design.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] the.gangster:
After reading your edit on the post before, that also Windows is throwing errors when you try to repartition or format your SD:

My 64GB SanDisk showed a similar behaviour some month ago. But there, the S2 was still writing to it. Or at least it was "thinking" it was. With the result, that new files were shown in the filesystem until I rebooted my S2. After the reboot, all changes were gone. So if you write, that you can still use 28GB, make sure the files are still in place after remounting the SD-card.

Otherwise, you can file a warranty request....

Dear All,

I have a friend with everything stock 2.3.3

Would improve the experience if going to 12.1? Or as it is Nightly for a "non-XDA-developers-user" should he better go with 11 M12 which is Kitkat 4.4 and stable?

I am reading about a lot of freezes. He is tired of his phone and maybe updating it to Kitkat or Lollipop would give a second life. But also I am not interested in keeping changing rooms because they don't work, that's why.... 12.1 Nightly or 11 M12 Stable?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Weib67:
As weird as it is, cleaning all apps at once (in the multitask view) seems to increase the chances of a freeze within the following hours of use (not idle). Just my 2 cents. :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
This has been mentioned before, but CM recovery is a requirement for official status. Hopefully CM fix it soon

You can install a custom kernel(and therefore recovery), by first flashing a signed kernel(such as philz), then rebooting into recovery and flashing the compatible custom kernel. Note that rebooting into the rom from philz will result in bootloop, you need to reboot straight to recovery. Also for bug reports, if you use a custom kernel, it is very hard for a developer to know what causes the bugs if you change kernel, so you won't get much help for that
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DaveKing:
[MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION], what about when trying to check the partitions before flashing (I suppose it can check the size of each one in blocks size right?), it's not possible to merge or resize the ROM's to that block size checked before, rather than resize the partition itself to that 512mb default leaving blocks unused, and creating unused space to some? Well we can pit that space and adapt the space of our memory to your rom....512mb system, 8gb data, +/- 5gb ums and preload or not (some apps like to use that space still), but if we want to use other roms we could lack from space, if you know what I mean.

Do you ever question using a method of Aroma install? May look like foolish... But in some things it would help, like this ex. This 512mb is a form to control some other things, but it shrinks the freedom to user, cause we can't resize system, efs, cache, etc... partitions during the android use, and if there's a way I don't know it. Well thanks for your work, I was enjoying the first built. That 20450 let me very proud of my S2, indeed.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ringen00:
As I have a lot of apps I thought it's necessary to have a BIG system partition. Some GB's... Can someone please confirm that?! I'm a bit confused right now. Isn't it a good idea to wait a couple if days before flashing again, so I can be sure that repartitioning isn't necessary again?

3 Updates recieved.

I got 3 updates today on my galaxy s2 which is running on cyanogenmod 12.1-2105. which one should i install and whats the difference between these 3 updates?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DaveKing:
yes and no... the system start to put some files in data... but you will notice a little difference in speed. Again, LP use system partition in a way KK and other didn't use. It cache a lot. In 1 week I had 300mb of cache and art in System!! But if there's no space, theres always "a backup plan" and the phone don't stop being used for having low system space. It start to delete temp files like cache and art and you'll notice multitasking slower and the phone will have more difficult to process things faster. Art is what it is, and if there's no space then can't be used like it was developed to! The same with cache...

The ROM is very stable at the moment... in my opinion all the recovery things are just secondary issues, cause the ROM itself is very good, and you can try it. But if you want to use system space....forget it. Look for other work.

Cheers mate.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

The last update is 04/07 and is Nightly or if you want a more official built. Be careful, the CM ROM since 02/07 patch the system (factoryfs) partition to 512mb, and you will lose mmc space. But the ROM indeed is way better now, and more stable. And LA is to be congratulated!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] asdf_king:
are there any plans when the release of the first snapshot-version will be?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DaveKing:
no...no need to worry. In your case just need to wipe /data, /cache and /dalvikcache before and install cm12.1 and then install pico gapps. It is the only one that fits in /system. The rest modules you like from google have to be installed by .apk or by store and goes to /data.

No ETA AND the S2 had what? 3 official nightlies of cm12.1 (and NEVER had official cm12) and you ask for a Snapshot release? What if I told you Snapshot is just a name. It has bugs too. Like the nightly. But if you can't deal with it you should stay on another rom.
