Try flashing, then reboot recovery and flash gapps.

Given that it's 7.1.1, how is it any different from stock rom? They're basically the same thing.

The CM rom did not work, neither did the GApps, I had a Paranoid Android Rom set aside but I wanted the PAC Rom. I cannot download a PAC Rom because there is none available. Any advice?

4.3.1
So since I couldn't get a Kit Kat Rom and GApps, I ended up putting on a Jelly Bean 4.3.1 ROM with GApps. It works all and well but now the soft touch buttons (menu, home, and back) do not work. How do I fix them
Try BeanStalk
I am currently using Meticulus's BeanStalk ROM which is based on Cyanogenmod.
It is quite quick, and it has a lot of features for customization.
Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613300
Installation Instructions:
Coming from a Pre KitKat ROM
Do a back up!
Do factory reset/ wipe (incl. /system)
In recovery: flash ROM zip file. (You WILL get an assert error!)
Read the warning on the screen.
Flash the ROM again!
Flash Gapps
Reboot.
Please keep in mind that your device needs to be rooted with a custom recovery in order for this method to work.
I did everything you said, including flashing it again, it came up with the same error. Any advice?

Is this ROM for the US Version of the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70? Because when I flashed it then tried to reflash it after the error, it came up with the same error.

I am using the YP-G70 with few issues, but it also advertises compatibility with the US version also.

[Q] Galaxy s2 Cyanogenmod installer help!

Hi I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy S2 this week and I'm looking forward to installing Cyanogenmod using their installer. But I want to know whether the Cyanogenmod installer will install the latest CM11 ROM on the Galaxy S2 or do I have to use ODIN and flash CM11 manually?
I want to do it the most safest way as possible without bricking my phone, I would appreciate your help, Thank you
Also the CM website says latest version of CM installer for S2 is CM10.2? Does that mean I can't get CM11? Thank you.

Cm11 installer will install one of the stable snapshots of cm11 (last time I used it, it installed the m10 snapshot). I'm not sure if they changed it to install the m12 snapshot (latest) but if you really want the most recent snapshot build, you should use cwm. The cm website for the installer hasn't been updated for a while (someone should lodge a ticket or complaint). As long as you follow guides step by step, you should be fine.
Odin is not the official way to flash cm11 as cyanogenmod use zip files which are designed for custom recoveries such as clockwork mod (cwm).
Thank you very much for your reply I wouldn't mind installing through CM installer if it at least gives me the latest stable version. However I might try to manually flash it. Can you give me a link to the best guide available to flash CM on i9100? If its possible

Hey one more question is it possible for me to let the CM installer do everything by itself like rooting, installing custom recovery on the S2 and then later can I install the latest CM rom by myself? If you know what I mean

Thanks sir for the quick reply, I have unlocked the bootloader of my phone (MOTO E Dual SIM).
I want to ask the following before flashing the ROMs in my phone; please help:
1. What does official and unofficial mean?
Does it mean that the OS is released from MOTOROLA and unofficial is the created ROM by members of XDA or others.
2. Do we have to root the phone first and then flash the CM11 before installing CM12 or CM12.1
and is CM12 a stable ROM like CM11?
3. What is the use of going from OS 5.1 released from MOTO to home made CM12.1?
4. And which CM12.1 should I install as there are lots of CM12.1 available online, pls give link....
regards

1. Official means that the ROM will be supported by the CyanogenMod Team so u will recieve daily OTA update contains with bugfixes and new features, custom ROMs not maintained by the Motorola or any device Manufacturers, custom ROMs like CM12.1 provided by CyanogenMod Team and The ROMs for the specific device's are maintained by our xda Devs, if u unlocked your bootloader and rooted your phone already yout warranty automatically void, so u lost the support from motorola, motorola only updates on stock rom that comes with your device out of the box, this custom ROMs nothing related to motorola
2.some phone bootloop when flashed cm12.1 directly above stock rom, so flashing cm11 first and flashing cm12.1 then solves it, CM12.1 is fully stable,
3. Going from stock rom to CM12.1 the use is u get more tons of features that stock rom not provide you,
You not need to download ota every day, download weekly or monthly, your wish
Don't forgot to flash gapps with the ROM

Sir,
Is it necessary to root the phone first before installing TWRP recovery and ROM.
Is there any step by step guide for installing TWRP recovery and then flashing CM11.

The problem with this guide is that the download "mfastboot-v2" after downloading does not show any file or is corrupted.
Secondly in step 4 it says "copy it into the root of your internal memory" Where does it want to copy the files on PC or on mobile's root.
Thirdly can't understand point 9.
"Press power button and do swipe to unlock to get your touch working again!
As Motorola released source code for the kernel, @cybojenix has fixed the touch issue, you can skip to step 10 directly!"
THen I tried using the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754358
But it is silent how to flash twrp recovery and super user through adb.
Then I tried this which helped me to unlock my phone but is silent about rooting the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753110
Lastly I am unable to find a time when do I have to backup my mobile OS, is it after flashing TWRP recovery and rooting the phone.
Also I am not sure how to flash TWRP recovery as there is a method saying that I have to install the TWRP manager and give root permissions for installing TWRP recovery but I still have to root the phone.

cm13 flashing gapps at nightly upgrade

I was wondering if someone could clarify if dirty flashing a cm13 upgrade (nightly) you can also flash new gapps, or if based on the recommendation below that can only be done on first cm flash from stock.
Anyone ever done this or it just is not useful /should not /cannot be done?
"Note: In case you want to use any gapps, YOU MUST install the right gapps the first time that you flash a marshmallow ROM. Do not boot with an older gapps or without one and then try to install it later."
Thanks!
Yes you can flash new gapps after dirty flashing CM13. But I don't know why anyone would do that since CM13 has gapps persistence between dirty flash.
Pixel launcher as system app got me wondering about this!
Thanks!

AGREE !~:good:
do whatever , but remember,
DO NOT TURN ON THAT "UPDATE CYANOGEN RECOVERY" OPTION, which erases twrp ,
and too many ppl complain about stuck in cm recovery after ota,, remember that..
Thanks for that!
Don't even know where that is.
Will look for it!

You might be using an outdated GApps package, as it is known to cause this issue. Try with the latest opengapps.

no need to flash it if there's nothing wrong
if there's something wrong, try to flash latest MIUI Beta firmware, you can find it in ROM section, and no need to flash it everytime you flash a new ROM, just flash it once and you're good to go
