Geez, you guys must get super annoyed with people asking the same questions over and over. lol

So here is what happened. At first, I couldn't, for the life of me, get TWRP installed. It just didn't want to install over CWM. I kept messing things up either with flashing zips or Odin, so I had to resort to factory reset (actually, several times). I kept searching this forum and xda forums and eventually I found this post about getting TWRP on there. I had to add an extra step, though, by installing PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSD-OXX-4.63.tar.md5 after rooting stock because I kept getting Error 7 when trying to flash philz_touch_6.25.0-i9100.zip. After I flashed Philz CWM6 4.63 via Odin, I was able to flash the Philz 6.25.0 zip file via CWM.

I then chose to install recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-TWRP-3.0.2-1-i9100-WITH-PRELOAD-SUPPORT.zip

Now, here is where I kept going wrong... a long while ago (year-and-a-half, maybe?) I repartitioned my phone to give it more room. So I thought, "Ok, good, I can skip this step, because I already repartitioned to 4 GB... that's lots of room; they're saying I need 1 GB, so I have more than enough."

But I was confused over the repartition. When you gave the post link about the guy saying that he "used the pit file 1gb_8gb," I thought, "What does that mean, 1gb & 8gb?" So I saw this partition post and downloaded pit_files.zip and looked at it. Ok, I get it. There is the system size and the data size. They're different. For example, "I9100_1GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload.pit" It describes it right in the file name. System is 1GB and Data is 6GB.

Before I figured this out, I thought that the problem was the wrong kernel or something. Like I missed a step. I kept searching this thread for various keywords. I really didn't think it was my partition. But I began to suspect partition and thought that maybe reverting to stock rom "resets" the paritions. But the problem was I wasn't understanding the difference between system and data partitions.

At first, before I figured out the difference between the system and data partitions, I figured, "Ok, this worked for other people, so I will try it," and tried to flash Lanchon's REPIT zip file, but I was getting this error.

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/sdcard0/lanchon-repit-20160406-system=1.0-data=same-sdcard=max-preload=min+wipe-i9100.zip'

So I gave up on that and I flashed I9100_1GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload.pit via Odin, formatted the internal storage, then was able to successfully install the nougat ROM. However, I got this error, not sure if it means anything:

E:\unknown command [log]
E:\unknown command [log]

Sorry about the confusion. It's all good now! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] blue whale:
I have installed the rom for the first time,

I install

RR-N-v5.8.0-20170120-i9100-Official

open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170121

MoaAB_ADBlocking_12212016_R1

and I use only wifi, since I do not have a sim card. I use an old google account which was never paired with the phone

but I have two questions

-first is that only 6 of my applications are shown in the playstore and the rest is not even listed. For instance, I install updated talkback from the apk that I retrieved from another phone under another account, and talkback is not listed in my applications (installed or ''all''). i cleared my cache and nothing changes.

-second is that I still have trouble with videos related to this https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/artefacts-playing-videos-form-youtube-t3498135 (basically, viewing videos inside facebook from third parties like news sites)

For instance, I installed the apk Android System WebView_56.0.2924.68.apk and the apk

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snc.test.webview2&hl=en

and I get this :

http://rgho.st/private/6xBV4KmlK/8f68af781a3567a129dc5126fe91fe5b.view

here is a video of this http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/Rqc9yaFU/file.html

can you guys install these two apks and tell me if you have the artifacts ???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noratroll:
The error message given by Lanchons Repit means that you now have to do the second step: Go to /tmp and flash the zip which has been automatically copied there in step one. Then your repit would have been successful.

Hi. Just a question for devs. How it comes that with this magnific ROM I cannot use anymore lucky patcher?

hey guys

guys i want to flash this rom on my i9100

for starters, i have flashed stock 4.1.2 rom with stock 2GB system/512mb data pit file and then, i flashed philz CWM 6 recovery with jodin

after that, i flashed cm13 lanchon TRIM isorec kernel with 1GB system/3GB data pit file on this stock rom, in order to install TWRP 3 recovery on the device from philz recovery

after i wiped whole sdcard0 in TWRP, i wiped cache and data and dalvik in TWRP

and finally, i installed this rom with gapps nano on the device

but now i'm stuck in the bootloader

what i have done wrong?

thanks for your help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] votinhtuyetthien:
Try to wipe again and flash.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zanmisel:
wipe again and make factory reset then flash the rom and reboot .let it boot and then go to twrp and flash gapps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kv7shadow:
thanks i will do as you said and report it immediately

so the procedure was correct right?

is it ok for the device not to boot after i flashed cm13 lanchon isorec kernel with new pit file on the stock rom??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davy0104:
Hi,

aside from all the (sometimes definitely constructive) criticism and of course the annoying nagging,

I just want to thank GreekDragon and all the other devs involved for a great work. RR is doing it all perfectly for me;

my demands might not be as high as those from others in this forum, so this clearly is a very individual evaluation.

Anyway – I love it, thanks again a helluva lot! :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Stupot fix:
Hi guys, I'm thinking to install this rom to my GS2 and I have a maybe stupid question. In the installation steps it is said to let the rom boot once and the go back to recovery and install gapps. Is this strictly necessary? Can't I install the gapps immediately after the rom and the boot just once? Is there any issue in doing it so?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Troubadour666:
on my side,

if i have to swipe to another rom, in twrp, i always making :

1 - factory reset (important in that case)

2 - wipe dalvik/system/data only

(3 - you can reboot to recovery at this step too.)

4 - flash rom + gapps

5 - reboot and let it be.....

(i do same order on Kenzo device now)

how i dirty flash new release ?

- installed rom on device take place now, system and data partition are big to backup, and sometimes, flash stuck if system > 1Go and backup stuck if data >2 Go (yes, with many substratum themes, we can reach this size) ,

so now, i always wipe dalvik cache before making nandroid and i wipe system before flashing rom and the FULL OPENGAPPS, in my case system is pited to 1.5Go

thanks.

EDIT : FOR CM13,CM14,N,7.x.x ROMS , its better to PIT your system partition (stock size) to >= 1Giga

Hi, after flash rom and gaps ,getting :storage space running out, how to fix, can't install any app , no space.. sry for bad english
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noratroll:
Which Rom / Gapps / Twrp have you installed?

Presumably your /data partition is too small. Check this and consider to repit to 3 or 4 or 6GB.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] imo73p:
Resurrection remix 7.1.1, nano gaps 7.1.1, TWRP 3.0.0,data partition is 6GB, even turn on kit kat same thing, about 12GB storage space running out
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noratroll:
Flash again after having wiped everything in Twrp except for MicroSd and Usb (Advanced Wipe)

Might /system partition run out of space? You could expand /system too if necessary.

Hi, I'm having this issue in which it gets virtually impossible to charge the battery. When I charge the switched off phone, a full day charge will take the percentage to ~25% and I switch on the phone, the charge goes to ~97%, but never to full 100%. Anybody else has the same problem?

i have crazy flips of battery percentage when i try to recharge the phone, how can i fix it?

thanks in advance

[Galaxy S II Android Development] sylvasster68:
any suggestions
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ultravy:
The battery percentage can be solved by reseting fuel gauge after phone reach 100 %, and after that reboot. after 100% again you can pull out battery for 5 minutes and put it back , don't turn on th phone! plug your charger and charge offline till 100% again if you have bellow.

A couple of days ago I flashed from Samsung stock

Modell GT-I9100

Kernel 3.0.31-1402302

Build JZO54K.I9100XWLSZ

Baseband (modem) I9100XXMS3)

to RR v5.8.0 (20.Jan.2017) after I followed Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Any version to Android 6/CM13 or 7/CM14 but installed RR instead of CM in step 5. My first attempt failed, since I got the "Status 7" problem when trying to flash Philz_touch_6.48*.zip. So I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9 as described in [PhilZ-cwm6][i9100/P] Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+NTFS-MS3. You might find the proper recovery straight away, as me. I browsed through all folders on Dev-Host till I found the right recovery for my phone.

But I have some remarks and question:

you claim that

but it always says system is up to date and you already released RR-N-v5.8.1-20170131-i9100 and the latetest RR I find on OTA is v5.3.8 (or where to put the OTA updates)

GPS works

Bluetooth works (tested it only with my BT headset)

Wifi works

cell broadcast notification comes up each time I connect to a different cell tower, that is really are annoying. I cannot change its notification level to level 0, I found only this: Delete Cell Broadcasts on CM11 completly

had to install WhatsApp several times until it restored my backup. Logged-in in all related GApps several times (in particular in regard to apps rights)

Lycambole Switzerland (it is a MVNO) is not recognized as national carrier, it always shows R above the network strengt symbol. That forces me to allow data roaming. How can avoid this? Is there any local roaming function?

4G/LTE or 3G/H+ icon are not shown in the status bar

why does System need more than 12 GB, it limites again the amount of apps altough have recommended partion size setup (1gb system/6gb data). In my (now broken) rooted phone I used app2sd. But when I check the storage settings I cannot find the anything related to the above mentioned partiones' size. Can someone explain how the partition layout is and how I can install apps on my 60 GB SDCard.

[IMG="system partition size"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4025361&stc=1&d=1485963523[/IMG]

[IMG="storage settings"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4025362&stc=1&d=1485963629[/IMG]

when update RR as described on the first page (fash ROM, Flash Gapps, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache), what settings, apps will be get lost?

when I move Firefox to internal storage it crashes after a couple of seconds

thx for answering my question, is really appreciated

Is there a possibility to add BLNWW to this ROM? Just curious...

Besides:

To install a theme I will still need substratum, right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lexus46:
On RR Lollipop and Marshmallow there was a themer app, other than Substratum. I only wonder why they didn't add it to Nougat too? I liked very much PitchBlack themes and with Substratum they don't work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OlMightyG:
Yes, I read some articles about OMS and dont understand the real benefit. It works for me but you need to search for new themes and it takes AAAAGES to compile and apply a theme. But I think we will have to live with it.

Besides: I had to change the compiler in the Substratum settings to the experimental one. After that I was able to apply themes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PackElend:
same happens to Trello, it even doesn't starts.

I was able to move metoblue , White Risk, Outdooractive, nzz and Leo. They all seem to work but their are mainly quite simple apps. I would like to test it with more complex apps but running out of storage space.

So can anyone help me with this issue and the related point

Awesome customization on the ROM, for some reason it runs very slow on my device, during the gapps setup it gave me like 3 random FCs (Browser, Settings and such) and after that it was all laggy, not sure why.

Also, I honestly will never understand what do the custom ROM developers do to screw up the alignment of the battery and the signal.

Base CM14.1 correctly aligned.

This drives me crazy. For anyone who thinks this isn't a "big deal", hell yea it is, I remember a whole article in AndroidPolice.com criticizing this issue in another Android version. If the base doesn't have this issue, why does this rom have it? This is deadly for people with OCD :silly:

Yes, OTA updater is included.

Lol. Surprise, RR doesn't have nightlys.

Battery drain is normal here. The only way to charge is to limit cpu frequency to 800mhz or lower. Looking for a alternate solution.

That thing kills RAM.

Lol. Only weakminded fall to claws of OCD,strong minded are able to fight and contain their urges.This rom is for them.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] lexus46:
Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't understand why had to be replaced something good with something worse. Cyanogenmod themer app was far away better than Substratum, easy to use and changed themes in seconds, not centuries.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Namoi:
Cmte is not available for Nougat based rom.

Furthermore with the switch to LineageOS nobody knows when or if it will be ported.

So yes i agree cmte was more straightforward and also supported icon pack system wide. It was also faster and more user friendly.

But substratum is still in development (icon support are beta ready) and is maybe more future proof in a way.

But again, yes, from a user point of view it is actually IMHO not as good as cmte right now and updating a theme is a pain also.
