I9100 lollipop on Sprint S2 epic 4G touch - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been looking for a lollipop ROM to use on my old Sprint S2 E4GT SPH-D710 that isn't an activated device anymore, I can only find 4.4.4 and under for the D710 and I would rather have LP. I flashed an i9100 C-ROM 4.4.4 on it once and I remember it flashing fine and receiving signal but some things were backwards like screen rotation and hardware/soft keys, when device was straight up the screen would rotate upside down, I don't remember any other issues of any consequence though.
My question is what all do I need to change for the i9100 ROM to work on my D710. All I need it to do is work on WiFi and have Bluetooth function and have the keys function correctly for my device. Can anyone tell me what significant differences there are that I need to edit before flashing so as not to cause issues. I'm surprised my device didn't bootloop with the I9100 or even flash at all, not to mention that it was still seeing the network.
Any advice on what has to be changed to compensate for the slight differences between the devices would be much appreciated, thanks.

I have flashed three different i9100 lollipop ROMs , and an i9100 liquid marshmallow ROM onto the SPH-D710. None of them worked with WiFi . The Bluetooth does work though. And the camera is upside down. There is also no home button and If the screen sleeps it reboots the system ui. I have been inside and out of both devices ROMs on the d710. To get an i9100 ROM to work on a d710 the way you desire is to build from source either kernel or the whole ROM. I am currently trying that. I have a run on sentence in q and a about it

Galaxy s3 wont switch from 3g to HSPA after sleep

Dear XDA,
Please help me resolve this issue:
Newly bought, stock unrooted galaxy s3 (cytanet Cyprus provider) will connect to HSPA once say the wifi is turned off and for as long as you use the internet and not let it sleep. As soon as it falls asleep, after waking it will be stuck on 3g yielding very uplink/downlink speeds.
I've had the same issue with my s2 on a samsung based ICS rom, only switching to an AOKP base helped. Shocked to find this issue persists on a new phone. Is there any way to fix this without rooting and flashing.
Your answers and feedback are much appreciated.
Best Regards
N!K!
Try disabling fast dormancy using the fast dormancy app from market

Sorry to ressurect this. But have tried every possible way. Nothing works. Apparently all Samsung roms have this issue on my network. As well as all samsung phones. If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate.

Which network are you on?
Have you tried every possible radio firmware for your phone? I had a similar issue with several phones in the past and it's usually been solved by changing to a different radio. YOU can find all the radios in cwm flashable zip/odin flashable tar in this thread.
Also what exactly have you tried, everything is a hard place to start to give advice from, a bullet point list will be helpful.

Thank you very much for your reply. Here are all the steps I have been through with this issue.
Galaxy S2 after ICS upgrade is when this first surfaced:
i)Went through all the settings for fast dormancy etc
ii)Flashed at least 15 different modems issue was present on all of them
iii)Flashed 4-5 different roms based on Samsung, the issue was present on all.
iv)Flashed Ressurection Remix. That fixed the issue.
Galaxy S3 - thought i would not have this issue on this phone, However it appears that this issue is confined to phones running samsung based roms or stock samsung roms on my network.
I am using Cytamobile-Vodafone based in Cyprus. I really dont wanna flash aosp or aokp to galaxy s3 as i will loose the S-beam functionality and I use it a lot.
I really appreciate your input.
Best Regards
N!K!
PS: the Galaxy S3 is unrooted, I would like to keep it this way however if there is a solution that requires root and would allow me to stick with a Samsung rom I will gladly do it. I wonder if this issue will be present on the Galaxy Note 2 or all other Samsung phones.
PSS: Also I have received the official JB update for G3 and the issue is still there.

[Q] MHL Cable not working

Hello everyone. I bought a mhl cable but it doesnt seem to be working properly. Im running Rootbox ics v1.8 with latest siyah kernel. I connected everything as it was suppossed to be connected, even the charger. My wifi signal drops and the image in the tv dissapears every few seconds and sometimes it just freezes. Phone is working perfectly as always but seems like the tv's image can't keep up with what's going on. if i watch a video that i have in my phone it works fine, but once i start doing anything else, like browsing the web, tv screen just goes black or it just freezes. This is really frustrating. I also tried turning airplane mode on but that didn't help. I also tried to overclock my phone but that didn't help as well. Any help would be appreciated.

MHL doesn't work for mirroring the display on any ROMs that are not based on Samsung stock.
RootBox is not based on Samsung stock, so it is subject to the same issues and limitations that all other AOSP and AOKP ROMs suffer from. This is one of those issues.
If you want MHL to work for stuff other than videos, then you will have to go to a stock firmware, or a ROM based on Samsung stock.

Thank You so much. I just downloaded stock rom and put it as a secondary rom and now i just have to switch roms in order to enjoy my tv experience. Thanks!
I'm having a problem. I have a galaxy sII, but even watching a video in 1080, the image is horrible.
I use version 2.3.6 Gingerbread

May be the kernel problem?

[Q] AOKP Rom TERRIBLE Reception??

Hi folks, I've had the AT&T samsung galaxy sII i777 for some time now and i've loved having android capabilities in comparison to the iPhone which i almost went with. I'm having one problem though; I cannot seem to even get a solid connection or establish a call around my part of town, even though other AT&T phones have no problem at all! My sister for example, has a new iphone. And while she gets bad service, she can at least make a call without any problem. For me, it will instantly end my call upon dial, give me a no-service prompt, or will just hang/stall on the dialer app. Very VERY frusterating to say the least.
My theory is that my android keeps trying to search between different networking types to find which type of connection will be ideal (edge, 3g, 4g etc), but won't stay on a service long enough while switching between different types to actually do anything. I've tryed many different modems, but with zero luck. Lately, i've given up on the project and have just been staying on the default one's that comes with the i777 AOKP package updates. And just to be clear, I am running the i777 aokp rom, not the ported i9100 to i777 AOKP rom.
Before i even rooted and flashed the sucker, on the default stock rom, it seemed to run way better than it is right now. I know custom roms are expected to have bugs, but AOKP has been out for some time, and even on the latest builds, i've had lots of apps (mainly the browser) crashing on me constantly. I've been thinking about just completely formatting the SD card, and starting anew with a fresh install of a brand new rom (after doing some thorough homework on it, of course). But that brings up another question, will formatting the SD card, also format Root Access and the installed kernal?
What are the secure steps to Completely clean my SD card, and start from scratch? I definitely don't want to brick my phone.
thank you for any feedback
Your sd card doesn't have anything to do with the functionality of the phone. It will only be a waste of your time, as you will just have to put your media back on it.
Which modem do you have now? Have you tried other ROMs?

Your problems have NOTHING TO DO with AOKP. Someone reading this may get that idea. Whatever apps u have crash or service errors and reception are not the fault of that rom. It's a mix of at&t problems and user error or poorly written apps.
If you had noticeably better service with the stock rom but wanted the additional features the devs here provide, sounds like you'd be better off with a rom built off a samsung source rather than AOSP source. You can try flashing a different modem first (see the thread at the top of the development forum). My phone came with UCKK6, and now i'm running UCLE5 (on AOKP 6/22), which has always seemed to provide slightly better reception and data rates. I'd start there if i were you.

That's interesting...after doing some testing, I discovered its opposite for me, or at least in the south part of my town. The uckk6 works better than the ucle5 by what seems like 20% or so. But on such a small scale with only getting 1 or 2 bars in the first place, its rally hard to tell. Its only a 10kb/sec difference unless I somehow find a strong connection in my house. My neighbors also have a large HAM radio antenna in their backyard and I think it causes minor interference with the cell towers :*(

Bluetooth problem on Kitkat ROMs

I Have SGS2 I9100 and have problems with Bluetooth working when I'm calling. Bluetooth works when I listen music and i can hear touch tones when pressing number before dialing but once i dial the Bluetooth is silent no voice on nothing. I can call and hear people when i call them without Bluetooth.
I have installed following ROMS with same result in the end: Carbon, AOSP Neat, Resurrection remix and Slim kitkat.
I have no idea where the problem lies it seam like every 4.2+ rom has same issue. i have checked my system folder and rw--r--r is there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am also having the same issue. When connecting to my car, bluetooth music works , just the phone doesn't. As a phone call is initiated you can hear sound for a split second then it cuts out. I am currently on the latest Resurrection Remix. I have searched the development forum and see that others have the same problem, but just like this thread, nobody seems to have a solution for it.
Any help would be great
Thanks for your help

Same exact issue. I tried Cyanogenmod, Omnirom, and a couple different versions of each (stable, M build, nightly), and nothing worked. I did a full wipe each time, and that still didn't help. I even tried apps like Mono Bluetooth Router to no avail. I finally went back to stock JB 4.1 since bluetooth is a must for me.
In case it matters, my phone is branded as a I9100M for Bell Canada. It's supposed to be the exact same hardware as the I9100, but could it possibly be slightly different? I see cliff03 is in Canada as well. I can't tell for sure, but it seems like the problem affects some users but not others. Maybe that's why?

Okay, I think I figured it out. While I was testing I flashed a stock I9100 (not I9100M) ROM, and since then my bluetooth is now working on all custom KK roms. This is the I9100 ROM I flashed (I9100XWMS2):

Using my S2 in my car.

Hi all,
First off I may be in the wrong section i have the samsung galaxy s2 t989 (t-mobile) but i can't find that forum.
I already have the hell kat rom on mine right now so installing custom roms is not a problem. I wanted to know if their was a custom rom that is specifically tailored for use in the car.
For example it would have the car dock built in, a gps app that can be used without data, wake when it is connected to charger and stay on while connected. Voice control for music ect...
I know i could just source together all the specific apps i need. But if its out there why re-invent the wheel.
Any Ideas?

I'm using CM11 Kitkat, and it comes with all of those features your looking for. Haven't heard of one for the Hercules specifically designed for a car, bit all of it should come pre-installed, after you flash the rom, and gapps. The only issue with the CM11 Rom I'm using now, is that the bluetooth doesn't really work that great, if at all. It is a nightly, but I haven't really had problems... Check this out:
