Going from RR to CM9 GS2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

RR has been the only rom Ive used. I flashed a few versions of it. Now that CM9 stable is out and I want to try it out. Is there any special instruction installing CM9 going from RR 3.02
I just wipe/reset and flash zip right?
the rom zip size seems alot smaller than the RR one

Yeah just wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash .zip, the file seems smaller because this is 'pure' Google so there is no bloatware and therefore its a smaller file!

Yeeeah same process. Happy flashing!
just a girl addicted to android

Thanks.
anyone used both roms and can tell me how they compare?
I like some extra features that RR has and currently use JB RR
how is battery on CM9? battery life is kinda a big deal for me

Well rr is the best in features....
Why dont you try rootbox.. that rom wins the league in every aspect for me
Using it since the day it came... cm9 doesnt has many features.... y flash a rom which has a bit less feature.... but thanks a lot to codeworx for bringing cm9 coz of which other roms are possible
If my post helped, don't mind pressing the thanks button

The Rom is smaller because Google Apps are not included in CM9, you have to download and flash them separately.

where do you find them?

If you are flashing rr then u dont have to do anything besides flashing the rom (duh).
But if u are flashing cm9 then you have to flash gapps to. The link for gapps is provided in the cm9 thread in op....

Downloading, backupping and flashing! Thank you
Great speed . not many customizations. The quick tile setting i miss the most. And one more bug. The xda app fails to install on the SD card as it can't be mounted .
But it feels very fluid and stable. Great work on that. I'll subscribe for further builds. :thumbup:
Finally it's official, i waited for this so long,,, Downloading
Thanks great devs

What do you mean ART isn't working? On my personal builds it is working flawlessly and NO random reboots whatsoever AT ALL???
Also I really hate to sound like a douche in saying this, but shouldn't the title of this thread be UNOFFICIAL instead of Official? By official, it implies that the work is yours and you are the official representative of Omni to post Omni builds. Because Codeworx and Entropy are the official devs for the GT-i9100, it is perfectly ok for either of them to post official builds because without them, there wouldn't even be a fully functional CM for this device.
Not trying to make enemies mate, just thought I'd point that out. Forgive me if I am wrong and sorry if I offended you

[Q] Rooted phone. Any custom roms for this phone to flash?

So i successfully rooted my phone using odin and cwm recovery. i am on stock rom 4.1.2.
Can anyone please refer to a rom anyone used on this phone and it worked without many bugs.
i searched for cm11 but it still has many bugs on this phone so i ignored it. Please refer to me roms that have a newer version on android only. I dont want customised stock roms. just omniroms or maybe cm10.2. Thanks everyone!:laugh:

Interesting. Nice find, I didn't know this one. I will test to see if it's really KitKat :good:
Edit: it is a beautiful ROM, but it isn't KitKat. It's the same Android JB we all have in our devices. I'm considering to keep it installed.
It is for i8552B

well its nice, much lighter than the original stock rom. Plus its better and much sleeker than the touchwiz. Although its not a major upgrade like cyanogenmod. But yeah, worth more than the stock rom. One of the cleanest rom for grand quattro :good:

Yes, I tested. Let me write a little review.
I would say Bionic Monkey (the name of the rom) is a stock-based rom, with some interesting mods. By default the rom changes the DPI, so more things fit on screen. Some apps are KitKat-themed, like contacts or dialer. The stock launcher was replaced by Google Experience Launcher. It's also pre-rooted and has support to multiwindow. I didn't test multiwindow, but I think it's nice on that rom because of DPI.
The major disadvantage is that the rom is not KitKat, despite the system info. You can test it by installing any app only for KitKat - it will refuse to install.
So, in general, it's a good rom for daily use, so you might give it a try.

There's no KK for us, at least for now. All the roms that claim to be any Android higher than 4.1.2 are actually themed roms with mods on build.prop, but in fact they are Android 4.1.2.
The exception is CM (the one in link provided by you), that is KK in fact. But is still unstable and not suited for daily use.

[ROM Collection] neXus ROMs for LBL (KK 4.4.4 based)

This thread serves the purpose of unifying all my release into one thread.
For now i am doing it for simplicity, but as i have separate threads for Paranoid and PAC, so later on I will change this thread for OMNI.
Ok, so i noticed people love choice. People love flashing. They love changing things just for the sake of it.
So here i give you exactly the same.
Policy:
- No official Changelogs
- No ETA
I will post zips of OMNI, PAC and PARANOID whenever i build them and post them here. Just grab it and flash it. If you find a bug, wait for next release. or revert to previous. Or switch to other ROM. no hard feelings.
So for starting:
1. OMNI
https://mega.co.nz/#F!X0JgARSR!_znrn91i6dNt8oUtgqsmKg
2. PAC
https://mega.co.nz/#F!v0wDXATQ!_GrE14kzs_toCyHOOvJQXQ
3. PARANOID
https://mega.co.nz/#F!G0YH0QZT!JEGZtdqmcKWBYwAcTkSySA
All above are unofficial builds.
1 reserve is enough.
but 2 is better
Awesome!
I'm definitely going to give this a try! But first, could you list the bugs (if any)?
Much appreciated!
Thanks!
No bug listing required. There aren't any permanent bugs.
because these are all nightlies, so still be wary.

since you swich to bagyusz cm11 lbl base for pac the rom is a little less fluid.
OMNI need only theme engine to be perfect.
so omni rom too work perfect on locked bootloader?
Can you show up the mirror links in OP?
Hi Nexus Prime, now I'm in omnirom and that's a great room for me, particularly the smoothness when in recent panel. Stock rom even can't do this..
But there's no themes chooser, make it quite dissapointing..
then I try paranoid Nexus rom, but the problem is why I cannot see my original SD card contents. Looks like it has been formatted. Yeah I see the content actually, but just Android folder inside. Whereas in CWM, evrything is fine and content is showing. So, it's not formatted.
Why is it?

Need help with kernel =(

Hi guys
First of all, let me just say that this is NOT a tread about the best kernel.
I've tried dozens of times to flash Dorimanx-V10.44v006 on spirit ROM only to get a black screen after the dorimax logo on bootup.
Btw, does appolo have a KK kernel?

Hey had a lot of similar probs like this myself..
Which Gapps r u using?? I had probs with slim gapps..
I changed to pa-gapps and everythin is fine now..
Hope changing gapps help..
if not, do an ultra clean and then try.. It shud work..
Well Tbh, I'm having problems installing gapps on my s2.
Its always saying it has low space and cant install when I try to flash the nano gapps since I cant flash the complete pack for the same reason. So I decided to flash an old version of gapps that I had for RR Rom.
(Did a complete clean wipe a few months ago, went back to stock, flashed everything again).
I kinda miss the features of Dorimax, actually I just want a good custom kernel to replace the boring cm one. Been Searching for one since KK came. =(
EDIT: Sry, didnt read all of your reply properly xD Will Try PA Gapps and see. Thanks for your help.
EDIT 2: Tried to find out where to download the PA gapps, its the same ones that I tried to flash earlier http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
So u r having probs installing Gapps itself??
I had this prob on some early release of slimkat..
Did u anytime try to repartition using PIT files?
On what ROM r yu trying the gapps?
Try this gapps .. This has worked for me on al kk based ROMs..!
Hope it works for u as wel.. [emoji106]
It wouldn't be a problem with gapps. It would be a problem with the compatibility between the kernel and the rom. Yes, Apolo kernel does support KK (just download the 7.1 version).

Turns out the problem was actually another gapps instalation that was not deleted by any reason from the system partition. Used a nuke script, installed everything again and I could flash the complete gapps.

Yes thats it, is apolo costumizable like dorimax? Kinda miss the bln and the other features dori has.
Use gustavo_s' kernel for bln support.. It supports stweaks too..
Yes. Apolo kernel supports bln. But has less features then dorimanx. Go with gustavo kernel if you want.
I have used Apolo kernel with several AOSP roms and it works well. Nothing to complain. Good performance with the Extreme versions.

Flashed it also. Only one bug found so far, except the usual ones like FPS and LAF: my WiFi disconnects sometimes and then reconnects. Don't know why.
Got this problem with all cm13 based roms. So it's not just a aokp bug.

That's flipping awesome. So pumped. Have a test build going on my OP1 but I'm gonna flash now on the OP2.
Is the fingerprint scanner working on this? Or is it gonna be bunk for all MM ROMs?
All works for me but FP and LAF. Found my new daily driver, although I couldnt get v4a to work. Might even provide some screenshots later.
