I have been trying to flash Slim ICS on my SGS2 for over an hour without success.
What happens is that when i choose the base zip it always says no zImage found and simply stops trying.
I've followed the instructions carefully.
Phone is rooted, CWM installed properly, Wipe/Format prior to flashing, files placed in external SD root, downloaded the correct files from Slim ICS website.
After the first failed attempt, i googled and searched all over XDA Forums but nothing worked.
I've tried flashing directly from the CWM Recovery Menu and the APP itself (Flash Kernel).
What i am doing wrong?
Currently my phone has the LPG firmware from the official firmwares thread.

hey dude try placing the Slim ICs zip file on ur internal sdcard then reboot 2 recovery and from there choose install zip from internal sdcard and flash and see
where're u coming from?
I've done successful for my just first ROM flashing experience when upgrading SGS2 from GB 2.3.3 to Official ICS DXLP7 with Odin 1.85 & now i've Slim it by Krarvind Rom..
I dunno if ur phone is coming from GB or ICS
If from GB better flash it w/ Odin 1.85 first w/ official ICS ROM (get it from Sammobile.com), wipe all data (cache, dalvik,factory & battery stat) - format system - then just can flash from CWM w/ Slim ICS
#don't forget2press thanks#

As already stated try placing the base on your internal SD as I don't know what version of CWM you have but some have issues with flashing from the external. You can't use the CWM app to flash the ROM as a kernel as it is not the same and there is no zimage included as AOSP ROM's are different and use boot.img for the kernel.
Once you have the base, I9100 essentials and Slim Gapps on your internal SD, boot into CWM and do the following:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. In mounts and storage - format /system
3. In advanced menu - Wipe dalvik
4. Find your base.zip on your internal SD and flash that
5. Repeat step 4 again as it doesn't flash first time
6. Flash essentials.zip
7. Flash Slim Gapps.zip if you want all the important Google apps
8. Reboot to system
That should be it and you shouldn't have any issues. If you do have issues then it may be bootloader related as newer ICS bootloaders sometimes have issues flashing CM9/AOSP ROM's. Hopefully you don't have that issue though.

No worries just happens that I'm the S2 beta tester for Slim ICS hopefully all will go well for you. When you're all set up don't forget to check out the feature guide which gives you an overview of the main features of the current and next version coming soon (link in post 2 of the thread or my sig).

Glad to hear it, you're now ready to flash 4.0 released this morning
Hey all,
I'm happy with my Tab 10.1 but it can be sluggish and so I decided to root it and install some kind of rom.
For rooting I found this guide on here which seems pretty simpel and useful.
But now comes the real question how do I proceed after this to instal a rom. Which one do I choose?
Is CM10 stable enough for me to try it, or should I go for stock 4.0.4?
And is there a proper guide on how to instal this?
Thanks :laugh:

Error while trying to flash to JellyBean
About a week ago I flashed my P7510 (Wi-Fi) with this rom cm-10-20120728-EXPERIMENTAL-p3, I had all kind of issues, screen rotation, on the lock screen stating its charging while the battery stated its discharging even connect to the wall, etc.
I was able to go back to the backup I took before I flashed the tab, but now every time I try to flash the tab to a newer rom I get the following error:
Assert Failed: Getprop (“Ro.product.device”) = =”p4wifi”
Getprop (“Ro.product.device”) = =”p4wifi”
E: error in /SDCARD/ 31-07-12-13-30-jellybean-alpha-p4wifi-sig
Status 7
Installation aborted.
After doing a wipe of the cache and data I also get the following error:
E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advace.

I am in the process of pulling my data (15 gig of movies) for a factory reset.
I used odin to root and I am using cmw 6 to install the rom.

I went with the UK ICS rom, seems to be working fine.
Otherwise you can follow this I RECOMMAND YOU CM9 MORE STABLE THAN CM10:
- Make a new download of the ROM from pershoot droidbasement
- Download the last CWM (recovery file)
- Download Gapps from goo.im
> Copy ROM and Gapps on the Tablet
> Flash the CWM with Odin 1.85 and USB cable (In PDA field)
> Boot in recovery mod (YOU SHOULD MAKE A FULL WIPE / FACTORY at this Step if you have backup of your datas otherwise tablet should freeze at boot animation)
> Choose install zip from sdcard
> Select the zip ROM and confirm the update
> Choose again install zip from sdcard
> Select the gapps zip and confirm update
> Return to the first menu of CWM and reboot system
Enjoy !

Thanks, but I kinda like the UK ICS for now, may be in a week or two of fooling around with it, I'll try Jelly bean again.
Yes i understand stock ics is good too
But as i say at the begining of my post i recommand cm9 for a best user experience
See you later ...

Which ROM you choose really is up to you - that's the beautiful thing about Android. Really, the sky's the limit! Well...what's available is the limit but you know what I'm saying
Do your research on the threads under Android Development - all the ROMs that are available for HC, ICS, JB, etc. Think about what YOU want out of your tablet...are you wanting to be on the cutting edge of development where you want an experimental JB that may have some bugs in it, or do you want something super stable and creamy smooth like a custom HC? Or, do you just want to speed up your stock ROM with a custom kernel?
There's SO much on here to explore. It's taken me two weeks just to get to a point where I'm comfortable flashing! I'm running CM10 right now but have been through a couple of other ROMs. Task650's Galaxy Task 14 is a great ROM too.
It's always a good idea to take a Nandroid backup once you go any further...for example I have a Nandroid backup of my unrooted image so to get back to stock I can just restore to that.
Basically when you're ready you just download the ROM of your choosing to your tab (and any required supplementary files - READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON EACH THREAD VERY CAREFULLY). Reboot into recovery, take a backup, and follow the instructions given by the developer TO THE LETTER for installing the ROM. I highly recommend doing a full wipe of your device (cache partition, data/factory reset, Dalvik cache) before installing any new ROM to ensure you don't run into any issues.
You have all the support you need on this forum to resolve any issue you may have - just make sure you search the threads DILIGENTLY before asking questions, and post questions in the appropriate place - you should be fine!! GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!!
I completely agree with you ... very good post!
I said CM9 because the tablet is recent and it was nice to see the result with this rom ...

Yes you can also follow this with cm9 or cm10, if you take the recovery file in the same folder than the rom (you should test cm9 first because more stable ... but it's my advice)

Hi, i'm new in these things so have a few questions.
Iwould like to flah thecyanogenmod but my galax 2s syas it is not a gt-I9100.
So i read some things about removing the assert line from a script and so on.
Do i need to flah an older rom before the cm11 nightly?
Do i need to flash the kernel first? or just use the latest cwm? (or rom manager/clockword?)
Can i reflash the S2 with an cyanogenmod kitkat version after i flashed it with an other kitkat rom for this device?
(still i did not succed to flash any rom to it)
thanks for any help !

First of all check if it g version or not.
To best of my understanding you can install it directly as far as you are rooted.

You don't need to flash an older version before KK. You just need KK compatible recovery. Or you can flash a KK compatible kernel, reboot to recovery and flash your KK rom.
Hello, thank you both for your replies.
Finally some clear answers
The model says GT-I9100 and not with g behind it, thanks.
I found some things about the status 7 error and about removing some line in a script in the zip.
So i will try the kitkat recovery (in my understanding this is also the kernel?) and then flash it with kitkat rom.
I would like to flash the one from cyangenmod, but doe it really mather which custom kitkat rom i take? At least they are all without the providers code like Vodafone or others?
Thanks again. I will update the thread if it succeeds or not.
Hi,
so i could not install the latest Recovery_CWM_6.0.4.7_I9100.zip as it gave an error E: signature verification failed.
then i tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip and this works. But with this i can't install CM11. as i get the status 7 error.
So i will try some other versions kitkat compatible.
I also took a look at the kernels section but it is not clear wich one to use for CWM6 as i don't know what XXLSR or DDLS3 means, and which is correct for Netherlands.
Do you have any idea? (i am not allowed to post there yet)
Thanks for your help.
For choice of kernel -
1. Gustavo's - I don't remember the version. Check the op.
2. Dorimanx - you can try 10.43v100.
3. Apollo - 7.0b Cm
They will bring the KK compatible recovery you want on your phone. Then after rebooting to recovery you can flash any custom rom as they are not locked by any carriers.

If you are able to go back to download mode
1. Flash a stock rom via odin
2. Flash a custom kernel via Odin. You might find some in the link you put there or you can search for hirox kernel. Remember, you have to download Odin flash able kernel and follow the op.
3. Once you have custom kernel, reboot to recovery. Flash any of the kernels in clockworkmod mentioned in my previous post.
4. Reboot to recovery. Flash your rom.
If you are unable to go to download mode try all the methods mentioned in the below link to bring it back to normal. It will need patience and perseverance. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
Thank you for your patience and your help Banjara.
This forum and it's people are 100 times better the on Gyanomed were totally no support is given...
I will try it and come back, at least the phone able to start in the download mode.
Probably the usb connector has some loose contacts as i can get no contact with pc.
I got this phone from my brother and he told me that it never worked, just loading the battery
So i tried an other cable from an cheap android pad, but also no luck
maybe tommorow, i have another cable from an android stick pc at my job, maybe it will work
else i have to open it to check the connector under a microscope and probably resolder(hotair) it with a lot of flux... what a pitty... :crying:
lucky i have some experience on it, i repaired a lot of qtek phone, some years ago, always that connector broken.
I'm originally an tv(crt,lcd,plasma) repair technician, but now on an other job
Pfew, i managed to rsolder the connector with help of the microscope on my job.
I could even connect to odin. so that's is good progression. i had a wrong kernel downloaded, so it failed.
now i have the correct one and will use Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar
But unfortunately the battery is really emptying quickly when it stays in the phone, i don't know why.
So i will have to charge it an then give it another try with this kernel.
The ROM should still be original as i did not flash it before, just the kernel.
The phone is now saying battery empty, can't download.
To be continued...
Jippieeee!
GREAT !!!!
It worked! flashed the kernel Siyah-s2-6.0b5 and it started ! :victory:
Now what is the best way to proceed, there are so many topics on this it is overwhelming.
Should i first flash a Kernel or first a rom?
Can i flash them right after each other? (kernel reboots) so ROM and directly Kernel in one go?
thanks for your help!
{SOLVED}
Ok this is solved, thank you guys and dolls !
i managed to flash the cwm 6++++ and then the OMNI kitkat (latest) and the gAPPs
and it is working ! i am verry happy ! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
:thumbup::beer::beer:
one more thing
i noticed there is also another kernel now in the phone.
How to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark?
i saw some footage on youtube how to do it with the correct kernel.
But can i also extract the kernel from the ROM.tar i used and flash it with Odin?
Or is there another way?
thanks for your help. ---> edit
ok found some here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/30-10-2012-k-la-lp-t1103399
but is it also good enough to unroot your device or are some functionality's then lost when using OMNI- rom ?
Thanks for your help
there arent any funcions lost it just gives your phone informations so that it thinks its all fine and dont displays the yelow horror . Btw i used TWRP KK kernel on my gs2 and installed prerooted rom aosp neatrom 5.8 kk and dont have problems with triangle. Also neatrom 4.1.2 with extended battery life is there if you dont like kitkat =D

Thanks Radelos, then i will try to unroot it again. And that will be it then.
Now using the OmniKK nightly of 8th of june, it runs very smooth, no issues till now, all is working well. :good:
btw idk what is the exact rom your willing to use but for no triangle would also do an clean install of stock rom, then root with framroot that you can find here on site and then flash KK compatible recovery and ofc kk rom with it. Here is the rom i used, its prerooted and on first boot starts direct into recovery so its for lazy ppl =D factory format data/system then flash TWRP touch recovery and in cwm reboot recovery option. And then just flash rom

Hello,
because I have not 10 postings, I can not post directly into http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...04-googy-max2-kernel-2-3-1-cm-camera-t2517875 but I think my questions in mostly related to this.
I have a stock 4.3 ROM installed on my 1st ROM, and now I want to install a 2nd ROM (also stock rom with different branding) on my phone.
I have installed Googy (newest version, 2.3.1), sTweak and can boot in Googy Recovery Options.
1.) When I click on "install zip to 2nd ROM from external SD" and select the Stock ROM Zip file from Sammobile-Firmware-Donwloads, then it's aborting.
I think I can not install a stock ROM out of Googy CWM directly as 2nd ROM? I am right?
2.) If I am right, and it's not working, my next plan is to clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM, then I could boot 2nd ROM and then flash the 2nd ROM with Mobile ODIN to my selected 2nd STOCK ROM with different branding. But when I select "Clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM" in Googy CWM, then error message comes up:
Not enough Space on SD. Available 0MB
But I have lots of free space on internal and external Memory. And 2nd ROM should be empty at the moment, because I try to install 2nd ROM first time. I have tried it with "Format 2nd ROM system" before, and also tried with other Wipes-Selections for 2nd ROM before.
So I end up with 3 questions
- I am correct with 1.) that I can not flash (install) the stock ROM in Googy CWM Boot Menu directly?
- Why I get the "No Space" Error in 2.) "Clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM"? And how I get rid of it?
- And last but not least the most important question ... is there a better and easier way to get the result I want: Two installed Stock ROMs, only difference in Branding (two different Firmware-files), both same Android Version (4.3), both Stock ROMs (but different ones).
I tried things the whole day, hope somebody can help. Thanks a lot in advance!
Informations:
- Galaxy S3 I9300
- Android 4.3
- Googy already installed, sTweak installed
- Phone rooted
- Last ROM update (standard 1st ROM) to 4.3 with Mobile ODIN, Googy installed after this
- CWM installed also, before installing Googy (both after last update with mobile ODIN)
you can install your second rom by "Stweak" app from google market... open itand Dualboot>Reboot into 2nd Rom UNTILS
then it will take you to special recovery.. dual boot opinion > formate second rom then install the new rom I not think it need a Clone
good luck

Hello,
because I have not 10 postings, I can not post directly into http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...04-googy-max2-kernel-2-3-1-cm-camera-t2517875 but I think my questions in mostly related to this.
I have a stock 4.3 ROM installed on my 1st ROM, and now I want to install a 2nd ROM (also stock rom with different branding) on my phone.
I have installed Googy (newest version, 2.3.1), sTweak and can boot in Googy Recovery Options.
1.) When I click on "install zip to 2nd ROM from external SD" and select the Stock ROM Zip file from Sammobile-Firmware-Donwloads, then it's aborting.
I think I can not install a stock ROM out of Googy CWM directly as 2nd ROM? I am right?
2.) If I am right, and it's not working, my next plan is to clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM, then I could boot 2nd ROM and then flash the 2nd ROM with Mobile ODIN to my selected 2nd STOCK ROM with different branding. But when I select "Clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM" in Googy CWM, then error message comes up:
Not enough Space on SD. Available 0MB
But I have lots of free space on internal and external Memory. And 2nd ROM should be empty at the moment, because I try to install 2nd ROM first time. I have tried it with "Format 2nd ROM system" before, and also tried with other Wipes-Selections for 2nd ROM before.
So I end up with 3 questions
- I am correct with 1.) that I can not flash (install) the stock ROM in Googy CWM Boot Menu directly?
- Why I get the "No Space" Error in 2.) "Clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM"? And how I get rid of it?

That's a complete other way with different kernel, I read much of How-To's right now, why it don't work with the setup and way I posted with the Googy Kernel and sTweak?
Some more details to my questions and what is wrong in my doing would be really nice to understand.

fact is that googy max kernel is based on syah kernel. from there comes the "second roms util" from stweaks which is able to create a temporary recovery for the second rom. unfortunately this is closed source by the syah kernel dev, so it was never possible to update this recovery so it cannot handle newer roms.
Now there are to possibilities: 1) you can use the recovery provided by devil kernel (but not his latest one, but the one which is linked in googy max thread). it will transform your rom.zip so that it will be flashed to second rom. note that this is not posssible with aroma roms. If it is one then option 2)
2) use devil recovery as above. backup primary rom. install the desired second rom as primary, make a nandroid of it. restore it as second rom and restore also your old primary rom.
there is also a how to in googymax thread in the q&a thread: how to install second rom with devil recovery
3) you can use devil kernel with his latest recovery. there you can even flash most of the aroma based roms (and also the normal not aroma based ones) directly as second rom
4) you can use arter97's kernel, there you can use each recovery you want. but there it is more complicated to flash a stock rom as second rom as you have to rewrite yourself the update-script of the zip. (cm based roms can simply be flashed with his multi-boot zip, though)
Thanks for more information in detail Darkened_Sky. I want to flash a normal stock ROM to 2nd ROM, so no Aroma ROM workaround is needed I think. I want to flash it directly, that would be nice, without cloning first and with ROM from sammobile Firmware Download. So I will try this:

sammobile does only provide tar.md5, which has to be flashed with odin with pc (or mobile odin) they cannot directly be flashed within any recovery. therefor you have to use a custom rom of this site or the stock rom provided by justarchi which is in zip format. this is his latest one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/rom-justarchis-sammy-stock-deodex-root-t2762714
but you can still flash your primary rom with odin and then flash the recovery and then install a recorey rom.zip as second rom

difference is: older devil recovery transforms your rom.zip so that it will be installed to second rom. after that it can only be flashed as second rom. and it takes some time. latest devil recovery directly flashes it as second rom, and after that the rom.zip can still be used for primary if needed.
Note: if you test devil kernel, that don't uae the kernel in the OP. his newest kernel and recovery are somewhere in his thread, so you have to search a bit
Thanks again, I think I have understand most of the things you write, but not this:

Would be nice when you explain it more for a newbie.
And I think, the thing that makes my situation a bit more difficult, is that the second ROM must be a also original Stock ROM. So perhaps I try it with Zipped Stock ROMs you have linked from justarchis: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/rom-justarchis-sammy-stock-deodex-root-t2762714
But he writes ROMs are a bit changed. And I need a exact stock ROM with a branding out of germany from german provider, I think justarchis will not provide this. So in the end I think, I can not use this solution.
What's about a solution:
- install latest devil recovery
- Go to Googy CWM Boot menu - 2nd ROM options - Clone 1st to 2nd ROM (Then it works, after update with newest devil recovery? And option for cloning is stil there after install devil recovery? This works also with the "not latest" devil recovery out of the mentioned posting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47249482&postcount=2)
- After Cloning Boot the 2nd ROM
- After booting second rom, start mobile odin and flash stock ROM without Kernel and without recovery (Without Kernel/Recovery to stick to kernel and recovery of googy/devil, to be able to switch ROMs without reinstall kernel/recovery).
In this case mobile odin understands to flash correctly the 2nd ROM and not the 1st one? (mobile odin reboot the device, and I don't understand how mobile odin can differ between 1st and 2nd ROM)
Thanks a lot!

I see now what you want
mobile odin will always flash to primary rom! and it will destroy your second rom if you already have one
I would suggest you the nandroid method:
1) install with mobile odin the rom you want to have later as second rom, and also a custom recovery (latest devil if you want to use devil kernel, older devil recovery if you want to use googy max). if you have the paid version use the keep root option
2) reboot and look how it works
3) (install googy max kernel (or devil) within your custom recovery) edit: not needed
4) maybe reroot your rom within the recovery (there is an option)
5) make a nandroid backup of your primary rom to, if possible, external sd_card
6) reboot your phone and use again mobile odin to flash your other stock rom, and again your needed recovery (and root)
7) reboot, look if it works and reboot to recovery
8) flash your desired kernel and create within the recovery your second rom
9) in the recovery there should be an option to switch to the "second rom mode"
10) restore your first nandroid backup as second rom
11) reboot into second rom and look if it works.
12) voila your configuration :good::good:
What I want is pretty easy to brake describe, but to be sure all is clear, I will describe a bit different to first posting again:
- Dual ROM with two stock ROMs:
- Both Stock ROMs, only difference in Branding (two different Firmware-files, with Branding of two different Companies/Provider. Best if I can use original stock rom firmware file from sammoble),
- both same Android Version (4.3).
- New: My 1st ROM, primary active ROM, is already installed. In the end with dual boot config, this ROM should be the 1st ROM again. The second ROM should be the new ROM, with different firmware branding.
- New: 2nd ROM should be a fresh (clean) ROM or "wiped"
Thanks for your last explanation. I read so much, and thought it would be much easier to get me dual stock ROM configuration. My first ROM, primary and active ROM, is already installed. When I read your last explanation, I have to start with Step (5), because I have already my first active ROM, which should be in the end my 1st ROM again. So I think I have to change the whole steps, because I can not begin with your step 1.)
Your instruction:

I will write down the steps as I think how it could work with using your explanation. A review in detail would be nice. Thanks in advance
1) Make a nandroid backup of your actual active primary 1st ROM to, if possible, external sd_card. Need this back up, to reinstall as 1st ROM later.
2) Reboot your phone and use mobile odin to flash your 1st stock ROM now (to the firmware which should be 2nd ROM in the end), with recovery and root
3) Reboot, look if it works and then reboot again to recovery
4) In the recovery there should be an option to switch to the "second ROM mode". Use this to move 1st ROM to 2nd ROM.
5) Also in Recovery menu: Restore your first nandroid backup as 1st ROM (to have the first primary ROM backup as 1st ROm again)
6) Check if both ROMs work.
In your explanation was a step ...
8) flash your desired kernel and create within the recovery your second rom
... I don't know how to integrate it, because don't understand it.
You wrote...
10) restore your first nandroid backup as second rom
... I think you meant "restore your first nandroid backup as first rom", right?
This is really the easiest way to get my configuration? So there is no "direct install stock ROM from sammobile as second ROM" solution?. Because this second stock ROM installation as 2nd ROM is the only part which is missing at the moment.
I also only need a fresh (clean) 2nd ROM installation, not a clone of 1st ROM, this is also a workaround. But I can wipe data for 2nd ROM at the end.
Big thanks!

no I meant it as I said. because my idea was it to first flash your desired second rom as first rom, backup it and later restore it as your second rom. but you can also do your way
with create second rom step i meant that you have to create the second rom partition in which you can restore your nandroid.

sadly I cannot think of a better way, because there is no possibility to directly install a stock rom in the tar.md5 format as second rom. only ".zips" can be flashed in recovery. Only alternative would be to transform the odin tar.md5 into a flashable zip, but that would be really complicated (there is somewhere a how to thread, but trust me it is way to complicated, if you can still use an alternative instead)
btw. there is no option "move 1st rom to second rom" in devil recovery, if I remember correctly (but not really sure atm). You have to do it manually (make a nandroid backup and restore it as second rom)
otherwise, your steps should work.
Ah, ok. First I have to decide if I want to do it by the "Newest-Full-Devil-Kernel"-way or by the "Googy-with-Not-Latest-Devil-Revovery"-way. Then I hope it's ok to explain the steps in detail in the googy-thread or the devil-thread, to get agreement there that this steps should work.
And I thought it would be easy.
Big Thanks Darkened_Sky!
Of someone has other ideas, please let me know.
Hi All,
I recently updated my stock i9100 to CM11 M11 and I want to check if I have done all the steps correctly or if I have missed any steps out.
I first copied these four files onto a micro sd card:
PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed.zip
If you are following these instructions then use the correct PhilZ kernel for your stock kernel version. This is explained in the linked post.
ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.5.1 - Recovery_CWM_6.0.4.7_I9100.zip
Cyanogen Mod 11 M11 - cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-i9100.zip
Google Apps (Small) - gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
Then I:
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power)
Install PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed.zip
Reboot into Philz recovery
Do a full Backup including the Preload folder by using the Custom Backup feature
Install ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.5.1
Reboot into CWM
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced>Wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and Storage>Format /system, Format /cache, Format /storage/sdcard0, Format /boot
Install cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-i9100.zip
Install gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
Reboot and all done.
Optional Step: Flash a newer modem,
Download XXMS4 modem - modem_XXMS4.zip
Copy above zip file to SD Card
Boot into CWM Recovery and flash the modem zip file
Reboot
I found that the above newer modem slightly improved call quality and mobile download speed.
Note: Do not change RIL.
Have I done everything correctly? Have I missed anything?
I do have two issues,
When I tried - Mounts and Storage>Format /preload - it didn't work. I can't remember what the error was but it woudn't format the preload in CWMR
Memory only shows up as 791MB in About Phone.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
You did well. More than enough.
No need to format partitions, so just ignore the error.
Memory reported is usable memory. It is ok.
Have fun with the new rom.

I had been putting off installing a custom rom and living with my laggy stock because I thought it would be tricky to install CM11, turned out it was quite simple one I figured out the correct instructions.
I'd advise anyone it give it a try!
When you have time give AOSP NeatRom a try. Is is based on Slim Rom and is the one I use.
Here is the link: [ROM][Sep 25][4.4.4] I9100 AOSP NeatROM.
Happy flashing...
Is it easier (and just as good) to use CyanogenMod Installer to install CM on the i9100?
I made a question yesterday, and would appreciate it if someone could help me:

Your question was already an answer for me. I always prefer oldschool ways though they are harder. Followed your steps and... voila... Now I'm fast and stable. ??
But I was kinda curious whether it is really easier to install CM with their installer app. ?

Not too sure about the CM installer, but I didn't use it because I wanted to be sure of all the steps I am doing because of the i9100 kernel bug that can hard brick the phone.

Hi,
I also just got a laggy SGS2 from a friend of mine.
And I want to reset/flash the phone in order to give it to my mother, which ROM do recommend CM11 or any other ROM (MIUI ?) ?
I would prefer to have something stable.
For CM, I saw that the last stable img was for CM10.
Thanks in advance.

An additional optional step I recently did was to flash a newer modem (don't change the RIL).
I found this slightly improved call quality and mobile download speeds. The modem I flashed was XXMS4.
i have good signal and pretty ok call quality, however, it heats up moderately when using the internet..near the camera, i think i had this problem on stock rom also..signal is good full bars outside. but i wud give the modem a try n I'm completely noob on this topic..what is RIL and how do i flash this? can i flash using cwm? also can i back up my current modem? and changing modem cause any damage to phone? ty oldgalaxy, this m11 rom is good, no need pc, no need root to install it, perfectly fine procedure
WiFi always on on battery status
I'm new here and also decided to leave stock ROM how ever my battery is draining in 4 hours.... And I checkd battery status and WiFi is shwoing activity all the time but is of.... Can anyone help me?
Also if I turn the phone off and don't use the WiFi it doesn't show activity on battery status
Sorry for my english
Thanks
I am ready to install...
I downloaded all the required things to try your steps. I will try it tomorrow.
I just want to know if I need to upgrade the modem or leave it as it is? Kindly confirm.
Thanks,
