I have a bell Galaxy S2. Today I rooted it and after hours of confusion, I finally managed to install resurrection remix 4.04 ICS on my phone.
So far I've run into tons of issues:
1) No GPS
2) No wifi (stuck on 'obtaining IP address, unlikely that this is my network's fault)
3) No software buttons, so I can't multitask (have to use task killer to kill unused apps right now)
4) Rom Control crashes everytime I go into the Navigation bar page
The phone in it's current state is useable, but I will go back to stock settings if I can't fix these problems. Maybe there is a better ROM out there? Though I heard resurrection remix is the best one. Also, could it be that I installed the wrong kernel? The one I installed is:
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
Can somebody help me out? Any tips would be appreciated.
EDIT: I just realized that USB connectivity (file transfer) doesn't work either - not even in clockwork menu!

Sounds like you might have flashed the wrong kernel for your phone.
did you first check what was the original kernel on your phone? acutally, run me through your root process so i can figure where you went wrong, because the Resurrection remix rom is just about perfect
I know it was KG2 kernel originally. Don't remember the other numbers.
I'm now on a different kernel because when I used KG2, the phone wouldn't work at all (the buttons were screwy).
The process went something like this:
1. Rooted KG2 kernel installed
>Phone still works like before, but rooted
2. Put Res remix rom on my phone's storage
3. Go into clockwork recovery
4. Flash/Recovery
Format /system
Wipe Cache
5. Install ROM from SD card - twice (since the video I was watching told me to do it twice)
>Phone turns on but the buttons don't work so I can't navigate menus
6. Install CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
>Buttons sort of work now but lots of problems
>All of my old files/music are still on the phone despite all that format/recovery stuff. Is that normal?
Now when I try to install KG2 kernel phone doesn't even turn on. If it helps, the phone currently tells me the baseband is I9100MUGKG2
k, yep you missed the gapps install. did you make a backup in CMW recovery before you flashed remix?

Nope. But if I understand correctly gapps is just the google stuff (maps, gmail, etc) but that all works fine for me.

whats wrong with you brother? installing CF-root on an AOKP rom???? CF-root is matched with the Kernel not with the Baseband.
Yourself dont know what is being flased on what.....did you make sure of your model before flashing there are many S2s I9100 /I9100G / I9100M / 9100T many more...
please read all the instrction first before attempting anything my friend...There is no substitute for reading and learning for comprehension .it is not like that any thing can be applied on anything.
I have a bell s2 and i did this
Google: how to root galaxy s2 kg2. Use the one that comes up. Will show the right cf root.tar to flash through odin
Follow these steps to the T

It's the I9100M (bell) and the Kernel before I started was KG2. I already mentioned this.
@kilometers4 that's the exact kernel I tried the first time (from that tutorial) but it didn't work.

Ok, some good news.
I installed the CF-ROOT KG2 kernel.
I went into recovery, formatted/wiped everything that needs to be done. (Then USB connectivity began to work!) so I put a 2.3 Cyanogen Mod on there and now everything seems to work (USB, WIFI) except for the home button. I still can't exit out of applications.

I dont understand what are you doing, it is your phone and up to you...do any experiments you want...
but dont ask for support when you get into deep treble with your stupidity doing without reading and knowing.
CF-root will not work with AOKP roms.

Yes but I can't find any other rooted kernels out there that will work for my phone. I've googled it but all the GS2 rood/mod tutorials I've seen use CF-Root.
If you can let me know what kernel or rom to install that would be great. I'm not going to touch my phone until I figure out what to do.

Why not start with a working phone + a nandroid backup before you start playing with roms .
Stock rom + CWM and root kernel = Nandroid backup .
If CM does not work then read the CM thread faqs and instructions .

first of all get into reserection remix thread and ask whether this ROM supported for I9100M or not, if yes ask somebody can provide CWM flashable CM9 kernel (if it is the original kernel of your rom) then flash from CWM and try..

Hi guys!
I have changed rom from cm7 to miui today.
First thing i noticed is its not that much attractive or user friendly as cm7.
Im still wondering where is the app drawer???If anyone knows let me know!
Found a bug:
1-In brightness setting when i clicked custom brightness levels, phone went in loop mode.Had to reinstall the rom from cwm to get thing sorted.
2-I have kept time on "automatic" mode but rom doesnt take time from my sim operator.I have enabled all options but i think i will have to enter time manually.
The contacts menu is not as cutomizable as cm7.I dont get direct call button beside contacts names as i used to get in cm7.
It has good set of themes but theme download takes a lot of time.Server seems to be slow from where it downloads themes.
Will be posting more reviews as i use it.Dont think so i will tolerate this for more than a week!
The default MIUI launcher has no concept of an app drawer, it's like iOS in that they're all dumped on the home screen. You'll need a different launcher if you want an app drawer.
Some of the brightness issues might be caused by the fact that the original CM7/MIUI ports for the S5/V are hackports, those specific issues are expected.

Seems this ROM is bit buggy?
I installed miui rom at 8am morning and removed it at 11! thats all!
System time changed automatically. and when i called or received calls all the time it ran directly on speakerphone.(defauly option should be ear speaker).
I found it really a headache.
As we say in India, China is "CHINA"!!
Its a chinese rom and upgrade option given there to update the rom but it works in chinese language and asks for mobile verification code to register with miui.us!bUT I NEVER GOT THE CODE IN MY SMS INBOX!
Also miui rom has same ussb codes problems.google app is available though.Ididnt try ussd fix via cwm coz i really didnt like the rom.
Back to cm7...its the best and i thank the cm team for providing such a great rom.
USSD codes are broken on ALL S5/V GB roms if you dont apply the USSD fix, which apparently wasnt included in this rom.
It's due to all GB based roms reusing the dell stock drivers (which the USSD handling code lives in)
CM7 is also affected by it, I dont remember offhand if the V one has the fix included, but the original S5 one definitely didnt.
i used MIUI rom and i could reduce brightness in settings and it didnt FC...the only problem i found in CM7 and MIUI is the clock...even after i set the time it goes faster than it should go...those r the only problems i faced...now cant do anything with phone as it doesnt boot after showing dell logo...the logo disappears and dont know what happens...need help pls
I have been using MIUI on my Venue for two weeks now. Had stock Froyo rom before.
I have not experienced any of the issues reported in this thread.. not even the time creep.
Here's how I updated to MIUI.
1. Install Olleh 408 recovery (available here)
2. Install Olleh 408 update package (available here)
Note: rename this file to update.pkg and copy to your SD card's root.
3. install CWM recovery
4. wipe cache, user data, dalvik cache & Battery stats
5. install miui zip
reboot.
By the way, folks here using CM7... can you mute your phone during a call? also, do you experience any calls made or received where the other party could not hear you?

Yes we cant mute the calls,
Even if we mute the other party can hear us.
And the second issue is 1/10 where the other party cant hear you clearly or atall. But second time call solves the problem.
We need a workaround on the above two issues.

Mute issue is only with CM7...Mute works in miui. Other party can't hear you issue is on all miui and cm roms for streak 5 as well. Since They share kernel base...(kang/dsc/olleh)..I am pretty sure its kernel related.

Is there any better kernel that we can use?
any workaround?
guys try the new roms posted in the CM7 and MIUI for dell venue thread...it is posted towards the end of the thread...better updates than what is originally posted...i tried both the roms it works fine for me...
So basically, I installed Foxhound ROM 1.4.1 (XXALE8) with Siyah kernel and from then I have had no sound on outgoing calls (from my mic) and no sound either way on incoming calls.
After reflashing, wiping, restoring Nandroids, flashing different ROMs and everything else I could think of. There was no fix apart from going back to Stock.
If i go back to the Stock ROM then sound works 100%. I can root and install a custom recovery (via gs3 tools) with no problem and audio works perfect. But as soon as i install a custom ROM it no longer works (even ROMs which i could previously install fine).
I would really really appreciate any help at all that people can give or if anyone else has this issue if they can post so we can try to find the cause of the problem. I have found a few mentions of this here and there on different ROM threads but by posting here someone more knowledgeable may see it and be able to post a resolution.
Any help would be massively appreciated!!

I have the same problem, however I was on stock when it happened. And it JUST happened for no reason after a call. Nothing helps. Really nothing. I've flashed custom, different stock roms, reset etc etc. The modem must be damaged some how as KIES says there is a software update available, I download and install it and then upon reboot it says the same again. The phone looks as if it's connecting but after 10-30 seconds it says out or range or similar and disconnects from the network for about 10 seconds and then reconnects.
Sometimes I can hear a crack sound for a second before it fails to connect a call.
Everything else works perfectly.
Are you on 3 UK by any chance? Apparently an ota with new modem was released yesterday that fixes it. Look in the foxhound thread (I'm just relaying what I've read, I know no more than that)
Good luck guys

Same problem here, had no problems flashing different modems on Omega 27 until I moved from siyah kernel to Franco kernel. Now got no sound problem during call. Can get call sound back sometimes by playing wth clearing caches, fixing permissions etc. I do always get sound back by restoring nandroid. Drives me nuts! Wish I knew what causes it

Hi there,
I installed custom ROM on my Lenovo S890 phone, which works great and has all I need. But there is this problem (similar like in this post forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125812). When I try wake up the phone from standby mode, all I see is a dark screen with vertical stripes of several colors all over it. I can however set volume and even the display responses after pushing buttons it vibrates. So it works, but the screen is broken.
When I install original ROM, everything works fine. But when I install any of these custom ROMs found on needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/s890/ I have the same issue with the screen.
Does anyone had similar issue with his phone? I'm currently trying to fix this problem with software jBART v0.7.9 - I decompiled the original ROM that works fine and also decompiled the custom ROM I want to fix. Then I'm trying to copy files from original to custom ROM, hoping somehow I overwrite possibly broken files and everything should work afterwards.
Any help or advice is welcome
So little update:
I am still experiencing the same problem. On official chinese ROM it works fine (but chinese ROM is not useful at all for me). I installed 6 custom ROMs and on each of them I have this same problem with screen.
I discovered, that the problem is not instant - when I wipe all data and make brand new installation of ROM, first thing that pops up is Settings wizard (the app from Google where you select language, enter your gmail account etc). And while in this app, the screen lock works fine!
After I am done with settings and exit this wizard, the home screen loads. And then the problem with black screen starts.
Now, I tried to delete default launcher.apk and replaced it with 4 different, but the problem is still the same at the same point. So while I am at the settings it's ok, after I am finished with settings and exit the app, it brokes.
Does anyone have any idea, where the problem could be?
I recently bought this phone, and I am searching for many hours to find out how to flash a custom ROM. I found some instructions in bad english, I found ROMs with missing files or with with problem in unzipping, I found drivers that I need to install but do not seem to get installed, etc etc.
I am very confused and I am afraid to do something that I am not sure of, because I may brick my phone.
WellBloud_cz, please tell me the steps to install a custom ROM (in brief, I am not a computer newbie) and then I will tell you if I have the same problem on the screen.

Hi, first of all - do you really need to flash custom ROM? Is there anything wrong with your current ROM? You have to consider all the facts, if it's worth the trouble. If you want install custom ROM, just because it looks cooler, you can install different launcher/change theme etc. If you have serious problem with your current ROM, like it does not work like you want, then I suggest you try diferrent ROMs...
If you still want to install custom ROM, then
backup everything everytime!
if you can switch your phone to recovery mode, install from recovery mode - you can download a .zip file containing ROM (you can try some from needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/s890/
after the installation make sure everything works properly, so you don't have to debug for a year (for example - I recently discovered that battery didn't last even for a single day... After close inspection I manage to fix it - the media app was the problem, it used all of phone's energy, so I have to restart it and then everything is fine and battery holds up to 3,5 days)
if you can't install from recovery mode, try flashing your phone with Flash tools - make sure you have good recovery mode included (like TWRP)
then you have 2 options - either install via recovery mode .zip files or flash whole new ROM on your phone via Flash tools
if you success, make sure you can set your IMEI - otherwise you can't send messages and make no phone calls. If you have IMEI set to some nonsense like 123456789, then download and use MtkDroidTools v245, where you can root your phone and also change your IMEI numbers
also make sure that the ROM you are installing is in your favorite language. If not, you can use More locale app, which translates most of the content. If you want, you can make your own translations with jBart, but it's long process
lastly check if ROMs have Google play, because majority of apps can be downloaded from there
GL & HF
If you have more questions, be more specific
