Group play on s2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've given my son my s2 after upgrading to the s4 but he only uses it for learning apps and games but he has noticed the group play feature on the s4 and is really interested in one of the built in games so now my phone is always targeted each day.
I'm wondering if anyone has come across a rom that has the group play for the s2?
I've searched quite a few of the 4.2.2 roms but not found any or maybe just plain miss read and missed it. If anyone has noticed any roms containing group play (hopefully someones managed to port it) could you please give a link....in the meantime I'll keep searching each day

Thank the OP in the above link if it works for you!
Got it up and working on my phone. I'm running Shostack2 3.1.1
Many similar threads on XDA , NOT COOL !1!
I can see multiple similar threads on half-baked Google now from JB which is still quite buggy... atleast one in all smartphone's theme section ...
You should mention whats working and whats not before directing someone to this link ... is not very usable as of now.

Exactly, I've had this for a day or so, and voice search isn't working. But they're aware of that issue, and attempting to fix it. OP should mention that voice doesn't work.

Voice-to-text will not work without kernel support or a hack forcing the app to use the existing Google Speech-to-text implementation. Either direction will take an obscene amount of time, i'd imagine. Don't wait up...
Why is this sinking down the app list?! People need to see this!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
After using for several days, one issue I've noticed (besides voice search not working), is that the "cards" do not automagically "appear" on my phone. Rather, to view any card, I have to manually open the app. Once there I see a relevant card, such as the weather, or the length of my commute to work when the phone figures it's time for me to go to work. But my understanding is that Google Now, working properly, is supposed to make these cards "pop up" on your phone, rather than you having to manually open the app.

Yes. Search for mikeyxda07. I believe that's the file. One of the xda devs (mike) has one up and running. Also, I think Shostock has it in his ROM. Why not just switch to JB and install it with one of the various Aroma gapps installers? Works well.

Hello,
I bought a new indash for my truck the Sony xav-601bt and it supports mirrorlink technology for gs3. Pretty much the unit becomes an extension of your phone all the way down to playing angry birds on it if you wanted to. However I cannot connect it and after searching and speaking to numerous Sony tech supports that had no freakin clue of what to do I found that Samsung neeeds to release the app for it to be compatible. If anyone has it or runs into it I would appreciate it if you posted it here. Its supposed to be released on 8/29 from a rumor I read. It goes by the name Samsung drive-link I believe. Any help is much appreciated

I have the same problem - I installed a xav601-bt in my car wanting to use mirror link. Google maps is so much better than the $2000 nav unit in our brand new Honda Odyssey ... but I digress. I saw that Sony-asia has released a firmware update for the unit. Took my chances and installed it (NOTE THIS: had to take off the faceplate and press reset to get it out of the reboot loop) installed fine but neither the "mirror link" nor "telenav" app work. Properly. USB device not recognized. I understand I need an app for the phone. Mirror link or drive link. This will be perfect if they get it to work - I want my Google nav to display on my head unit. Controlling it would be bonus. C'mon Samsung, get it going!
One nice thing I did find though if you pair your phone with bluetooth then click on Bluetooth settings for sony automotive you can enable not only calls but audio and that way you can still listen to everything that goes on in your phone such as spoken turn by turn navigation, music, YouTube, Netflix,etc. Still can't wait for official rollout though. I wonder how they will get around the "USB device not supported" error message when plugging in via USB

Sony America released the firmware update on Aug 14th. (My birthday!) so you don't need chance the Sony Asia update anymore.

Can't wait for the app from Samsung to drop so it will finally work.
I have a Galaxy S2, and just bought a XAV-701BT. The guy at the store said that I would be able to use mirror link with my GS2 when the app was released at the end of this month, but from what I am reading it looks like it will only work on the GS3.
Does anyone know if I will be able to use mirror link on the GS2?
I have already installed the new firmare on the XAV-701BT

I found this video on YouTube of someone running mirrorlink on a galaxy s2 and when they ran it, this app called tmserverapp seemed to run. I found the apk file I will try and play with it later anyways here's the video

It seems you need a UK account to download the app. I will try to make a fake one later to try and download it.
Edit: I made a UK account but I still can't download any apps when I try to log in with the Samsung app it says account does not match country. I tried to change the time zone in Settings to UK and that didn't work. If we could get someone from the UK to download the app and upload it for us it would be great

[question] Two apps same screen.

Is it possible to port over the ability to run two apps simultaneously like the note 2? Or does anyone know if an app or mod could achieve this? That's the only feature that means me envy the note2.
I, too, would like to know if this would be possible

Are you guys still having problems with the simpsons tapped out game on the very latest CM10.1 (4.2.2)?
I did a full wipe on my phone and went back to 4.2.1 and it all seems to be working fine again, I lost my game progress though and had to start over!
I would however like to get the latest CM10.1 but want to know if the game works on it. Thanks.

Hey guys,
I am having the same problem, after around 30 seconds the phone completely freezes and I have to do a hard reset.
It works without problems on a Nexus S with Android 4.2.1.
I tried to see whats happening via logcat, but it disconnects as soon as the phone freezes. And the logs are cleared after a reboot.
If anyone can give me instructions how to debug such an issue I am glad to help out.
Thanks

This is a CyanogenMod 10.1 bug.Simply do what I do...Flash DorimanX kernel,and dual-boot.Install CyanogenMod based ROM as first,and a Sammy,or 4.1.2 ROM as 2nd.When you want to play games,simply reboot into the 2nd ROM.This is an annoying bug,and that's the only fix I found.Hopefully They'll fiz it in CM 10.2
Thank you this is really annoying ...

Has it been solved yet? I encounter that game crashes also on CM10.2 with android 4.3.1 on Samsung galaxy s2. Really anoying, I'm glad I have also tablet, but without 3G and sometimes I would like to play Simpsons out of wifi signal range... Any solution? Except hard reset or flashing another kernel. thx
nope..
I've just put Cyanogen 11 (Kitkat 4.4.2) mod on my Samsung GS2 to 'debrand' (worked lovely btw) but then found this thread - looks like Simpsons and cyanogen haven got on for some time after repeated attempts to force stop, clear cache, uninstall and reinstall its still not working - welcome screen then blank screen then back to home screen with Simpsons has stopped report or OK... Never mind I can live without it but just in case people were waiting to see if the latest cyanogen fixed the problem, it doesn't right now but I believe the kitkat mod is still in its infancy so maybe in future updates it may get sorted but tbh I can't see this being top of their to fix list...
Fixed!
Hi guys
Good news for you Simpsons tapped out fans. I am running Cyanogens official kitkit nightly now on my Samsung galaxy s2 i9100 (cm11 20140205 nightly) and thought I would give it another go so downloaded the app again fresh from the app store and it loads no problem! Downloaded the updates on the splash screen as well no problem but I was unable to sign into origin (said servers were not available), simply rebooted the phone and the login to origin worked and my game is back where i left it! Happy chappy
I've been running a January nightly, just so I could play Tapped Out! Thanks for the update, I'm flashing a new nightly! woo-hoo!
