This is a more detailed edited version of how to install the Resurrection ROM by westcrip...
as have seen too many users that seem to be skipping parts or confused of the installation.
This is also for users like myself, who just started on this site and can't post on Development side to find their answers.
BACKUP your apps of course...but DO NOT backup system data.Repeat!! DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM DATA. Restoring system data can give you some problems because if you don't know what you're doing, can accidentally replace something from the fixes that screws things up!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART-1
Rom Installation (you MUST follow these steps! )
**Go to recovery mode( Vol UP + Power+ Home and hold until the Samsung Galaxy screen comes on)
1- Wipe data / Factory reset then (can Wipe cache partition or go straight to)
Install ResurrectionV1.1_official_remix_ics_4.0.3_XXLPE_FULL-WiPE.zip
*if you did not Wipe cache, can go straight to install from cache...
but if you Wiped cache then you go to install from external SD card and install 1.0_CWM.zip (this will be touch version)...
then choose - install zip from sdcard. - choose zip from sdcard. Scroll down to Download folder and select ResurrectionV1.1_official_remix_ics_4.0.3_XXLPE_FULL-WiPE.zip.
Please wait a moment.
2-Install gapps_for_remix_v1.1.zip
3-Install gapps_fixer.zip then go back and go to Advanced.
4-Wipe dalvik cache (required)
and Fix permissions and go back to
5-Reboot system
(at this stage it may take a while for first bootup, because we have wiped cache. It needs to rebuild it, so don`t panic.
It may take a while *average around 3-5min before getting to Installing applications screen)
At this stage, boot to system and configure the phone (change language settings, etc).
When finished, again reboot into recovery and follow PART-2
PART-2 (required)
This part it's mandatory here are contained the language, theme, AOSP apps and the T9 dialer if you want it...
or use default. ONLY install one of these:
*note: you're in regular CWM using up and down volue + power button to enter.
If you want the touch - reinstall it like before.
1.- Install the SMSfixupdate-afterboot+T9 Dialler.zip
or
SMSfixupdate-afterboot+default remix dialler.zip
go back
2.- Reboot into system
After finishing the boot it's highly probably that you receive a force close from android phone.
It's normal and it's the only FC that you should get.
Enjoy!
**There is a RAM Manager Fix (When you open the Task Manager app, there's a section called RAM and a button to Clear Memory.
The fix enables that button again... for those not working).
Here is a mirror link for this and other files: RAM Manager Fix and others
PART-3 (optional)
*This can apply to many other files you want to flash.
If you want to install Siyah kernel:
Place Siyah-v3.0rc4-CWM.zip (or whichever version you're using) in the root of internal SDcard memory ("download" folder) and go to recovery mode (Vol Up + Power + Home).
Go to Install zip from SDCard... and select it.
Yes and install... Fix permissions... Reboot.
**battery issues with Siyah?
go to recovery
wipe dalvik
go to "kernel specific options" to reset them or other performance tweaks.
reset kernal
fix permission
reboot
**No more video player?
Get the VideoPlayer.apk file (*have to do a search for it now until I find another working link to it)
and copy it to system/app using something like Root Explorer
Reboot
Hope this helps. I'll edit this when I have time (usually busy with other projects).
*Version 1.2 is out now Check it here.
Good job
Tho make sure you spend a bit of time regularly checking the thread (depending on how much action the thread gets, obviously). Once you make threads like these people invariably ask questions & it's best if the person who detailed the method answers most of them.
Thank you sir.
I will give as much time as I can on this, when questions come up... and I'll be sure to keep up with bugs going on on original thread... though they will be updating this ROM soon to 4.0.4.
When that happens, guess will have to update this lol.
(oh no, what have I gotten myself into )
Language problem
Hello!
Thanks for the thread, really useful for noobs needing help to fix some problems.
I am a noob... and I have a problem.
Everything is working fine, battery is ok, no fc... but language seems to be messed up, I get my language (spanish) in almost all settings and menus, but dialer is invariably in english. Some contacts dialogs show this behaviour too.
Thank you very much in advance!
Thanx a lot, really useful...cant wait for 1.2
SMSafter-reboot is the only fix i needed to fix my dialer fcs issue, after a dalvik cache clean and permission fixing. That was the only way, if some1 has same issue.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Hi Miguel. The ROM is mostly for English and some language settings are off here and there. Mine too shows Chinese characters in some parts. I think this has to do with where the phone is originally from.
Version 1.2 will be out soon (based on 4.0.4) and should have more bugs fixed. I will see if there's anything can be done to help you with Spanish settings.
*glad it's helpful for you guys.
Thanks for a good simple guide.... it is getting pretty difficult to find answers with so many posts in the main thread.
Will you be making a similar step by step guide for ver 1.2 that should be out soon?
If it is needed I will. Will have to wait for it to come out and see if instructions changed. The process will be easier (after what westcrip said), not needing to add gapps fix, etc now I think.
Anyways, if I think needs more detail for newer users, I'll add a new thread for it and post a link here to it too.
Which dialler
I'm a true noob and I'm rooted with CWM installed and I'm giving serious consideration to this rom. My only question at this point is what are the differences btw the 2 diallers and do most folks prefer one over the other?
Hi tlmacson. It's a very good fast and smooth rom with good support. 1 dialer gives you T9 abilities... which means when you start dialing some number, it shows you contact(s) that much those numbers.
But there are some bugs in it not working for some, so recommended to install the default one and add some other app that does the same, or install T9 on after the default.
PS
If you want to give this ROM a try... the new 1.2 version will be out any moment which should have easier installation with hopefully less bugs ^^
I have been using it for a few weeks now. It has run really smooth, the only bugs are very small and do not effect the use of it daily.
I had a few problems with the dialler, so I installed exDialler. I actually prefer it, it has t9 searching and can be skinned to look like ics dialler.
I will definatly give ver 1.2 of the rom a try too.
Yes, that's the 3rd party app people like for T9 use: exDialer
It also allows you to give it black theme.
HELP!
Cyber i'm wondering if you did test the 1.2 PRO resurrection I want to upgrade to it but i don't know if it is a FULL WIPE or not because westscript didn't mention it also there are no GAPPS and FIXER within the thread can you please confirm for me this?
I think that I may just do that since I'm not having any real issues with the leaked "stock" XXLPQ. I appreciate your advice and dialer explanation.
nHorus - For v1.2 it works better if you do a full wipe Do a full wipe(factory reset+cache+dalvik cache), though you can try without it.. and just do the factory reset. Then install ROM and Siyah kernel and reboot to do initial setup. Then comeback to recovery mode and install navigation button fix and app themes, reboot.
Test
Thank you cyberboob.
I will try 1.2 and see how it goes, anyway I will install exDialer to fix my languages "problems" (it is not a dealbreaker but is disturbing seeing some dalogues in other language).
According to 1.2 changelog this version is promising.

thank you. i'll try without the wipes
Sorry.. a full wipe is needed again (or more bugs will be present).
Follow these steps:
Do a full wipe(factory reset+cache+dalvik cache)
Install the Main ROM
Install Siyah-v3.0.1-CWM.zip
Reboot
Do the initial setup of things
Go back to CWM and install navigation button fix
Reboot
Then go back to CWM and install app themes (there are some bugs, but if you want the black themes, then install classic first, then black)
Reboot
Some people have other issues after, but see how this goes.
I would change the DPI settings to 184 or 210 for everything to work fine from market apps.
*Also westcrip will post a new fix update for some new bugs reported by some users.

I know I'm showing my "noobness" but I thought that the kernel was part of the ROM; so how do I install the kernel after the ROM?
Same way you installed the main ROM.. go into recovery mode and select the folder you placed it in (usually internal sd card "download" folder) and flash it "yes". Fix permissions if want and reboot. Same with anything else you need to flash/CWM after/before.

SD-EXT version
This version will be installed on your sd-ext partition. (So these packages won t occupy space in system partition. This will help devices with tiny system partition.)
Link to the latest package:-
gapps-kk442-20140225-sdext-v2.0.zip (20.5 MB only)
Patch for Mountscript :-
gapps-kk442-sdext-patch.zip (128 KB only)
This patch creates a mount script for your sd-ext partition. And if your using any app2sd apps like link2sd then also please INSTALL this patch. It won't conflict with link2sd (or other app2sd apps), Don't worry.
Patch for Dalvik-cache Duplication:-
dalvik-cache-patch.zip(128 KB only)
This patch is optional and will save you 5 MBs in data partition because it removes (symlinks infact) duplicated dalvik-cache files.

How to install?
Download gapps package, mountscript patch and dalvik-cache patch from above link.
Install mountscript patch & dalvik-cache patch.
Then install gapps package. (Install simply without any wipes). IF you are using my v1.0 sdext gapps, for upgrading to v2.0 do a full data wipe and again flash cm11.
Reboot to system and you're done!
Changelog:-
v2.0
Made from fresh official cm-11.0 gapps.
Added GmsCore.apk because without it, new cm11 gapps don't allow you to add a Google Account.

Problem while installing these gapps
Hi,
I'm having a big problem about getting these gapps to work. Indeed, even if they are installed perfecly through the recovery (CWM/ PhilZ Touch), when my callisto reboots there no google apps (e.g Play Sore) installed. I tried to add my google account through the settings but didn't helped, still nothing. I'm using CM11 made by psyke83 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453085
Any idea to get play store working ?

Please read instructions. Free up enough space in system partition first. And if you're using sd-ext gapps, make sure it has free space and even it exist and you flashed mountscript patch.
READ INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY AND GET THE JOB DONE.

Hi,
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. I deleted all the files you mentionned (some files won't get deleted though).The recovery wasn't giving any error. Anyway, I deleted some others system apps (which I will replace with some third-party apps, it was the only solution because i didn't want to use sd-ext gapps) and finally get the play store installed. Thank you for your help and keep up the good work.

If you have that then you can't use link2sd because the gapps will be installed on the sd-ext partition. So, if you install link2sd it will override the gapps.

Don't give wrong advice please. He can use Link2SD without any problems even if he's using that patch and gapps, already written on first post. gapps will just occupy a little space on sd-ext partition and that's it.

I'm not sure what you are asking. I've already written on first post that installing this patch and gapps won't create any problems with Link2SD. And, if you have link2sd then also you must install that patch because of a different (non-standard) mount-point creation by Link2SD.

The Google Now's Voice Search is not compatible with armv6 devices (like: galaxy5). Because the libs needed for them are compiled for armv7. So it's not fault of my gapps, it's where the limitation of your device arrives.
However, there's a workaround for that (it's not too pretty but it works):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709285
Not related to gapps but only one Question!
I wanted to ask that whether I can install cm11 Nightlies to SDEXT like "psyke" sir developed the rom for my device(GT15503) that can be installed
in the SDEXT ? As the further development has stopped of that Rom so i thought it would be great if Jenkins build could be installed on SDEXT :laugh:.If possible please give me a solution.
Thnx man this works perfectly with The CM11 for Galaxy 551 and had no problem with it whatsoever. I have to applaud you
and say good work on this.
thanks :good:

Seems like you are new to XDA.
If somebody helped you, don't make a post to say "Thanks". Just click on the "Thanks" button found on the left of every post. It's the only purpose of the Thanks button which helps to keep the thread clean of common posts which are just made to say: 'Thank you', 'It helped a lot, Thanks' and such others.
Thanks mate. I managed to install it on CM11 for Galaxy Mini/Pop Plus/Next Turbo GT-S5570I (I know. Different names for different countries). The version 1.1, though. I think you updated the post just the day after I downloaded it.
Just for reference other Gapps were crashing the AOSP keyboard. With this it works just fine!
EDIT: Just installed v2.2. No issues either. The catlog is clean and AOSP works!

hello
bhargav97
i like your hard work for our small but good enough smarphone galaxy 5. today i was reading an article in they ported sony experia lock to their phone and that is pretty good so my question is that can we put this lock on our set bcoz i have tried and failed to put this lock on my g 5.so can you tell us whether we can use it or not, if yes than it will be great g 5 user.
thanks in advance

@Bhargav97,
Can you do me a favour?
1. Your information in post #1 re: the mountscript is inaccurate - it breaks simple2ext_mod. If someone has S2E installed, they don't need this patch, as /sd-ext will be mounted by simple2ext's script.
2. The dalvik cache patch won't work with with S2E due to the order of script execution. There are two possible solutions:
a) Rename the script to "/system/etc/init.d/91linkduplicates". This will ensure that the script is executed after all userinit.d scripts (including S2E's mount script) have finished.
b) Move the script to /data/local/userinit.d.
Option B has the advantage of surviving full OTA updates... however, you will need to choose a different name for the script to make sure it is executed after /data/local/userinit.d/simple2ext. The first letter of the filename would need to start with the letters t-z (so that it's executed after simple2ext). Ideally simple2ext's script should start with a number, but since I forgot to make that change in my initial mod, it's a bit of a pain to change it now (as the app will create duplicate mount scripts)
It would probably have been a better idea to implement a userinit.d script to symlink *all* gapps files on /system (as well as the dalvik duplicates), instead of doing any symlinking in the updater-script. That would make the whole gapps sd-ext package compatible with full OTA updates (as the userinit script survives /system reformatting), and avoid the need to provide a separate dalvik cache patch. Let me know if you want me to write the script.
Hi guys,
That's a lot of text to read but when you guys advice me about that whole situation it can serve other people to plan and make their phone flashed without bricking it.
I need your opinion and advice on my move from Jelly Bean to KitKat. I have Lenovo P780 (China version) bought before 03.2014. My ROM is VIBEROM_V1.0_1347_3_ST_P780.
In general i'm happy with this rom, but after so long time of using it I would like to change it to more faster KitKat. And I would like to stick with VIBEUI because as i've said i'm happy with it. So I chose the newest: VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_7.149.1_ST_P780. I know it has only english and this other language but I don't use my native language even now when i have that option. Is it worth to flash it? Some people said about earlier version of kitkat it was buggy, and that JB is more stable than KK, but now after so much time of development it should be ready to smooth usage, right?
What I've done already:
I have istalled driver for preloader, lenovo usb drivers and adb drivers and then rooted with Kingoroot (of course on developer state and enabled usb debugging).
Then I made my copy of ROM through mtk droid tools, so I have istalled supersu but only for binaries (because mtk droid demanded them), then istalled busybox (from google play and hit install inside an app). And then I made copy of rom in mtk droid tools. But first hit „root” and then made backup, which was done without any error and is also prepared for SP Flash Tool. (I had trouble with backup because it ended with error but it was due to my default write disk in lenovo which was set on external storage, so mtk droid was writing image of ROM on built-in storage, which is, as you all know, very small, so i've changed default write disk and i was good to go).
I have done also backup of imei and nvram through mtk droid tools and backup of imei through mobile uncle tools.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE DONE. I didn't do anything besides this.
So first question: Is this enough? I mean root, drivers, backup of rom and imei.
Second question: What about „locked bootloader”? I've read a lot but in case of Lenovo P780 i've never read anything on locked bootloader besides one site but i can't insert url on my post because i'm new
So do I need to do sth with bootloader or it is unnecessary?
Next flashing: For downloading rom I used rather the most popular site with roms: needrom. I downloaded VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_7.149.1_ST_P780_OLK_W_3D22.zip. In this site is also scheme how to flash it. They say this stock rom should be flashed through CWM (I downloaded this recovery from their site):
Step 1: Download the custom ROM copied to an external SD card root directory
Step 2: the shutdown state. While holding down:
– Power button + volume button up, to enter the recovery mode.
– Wipe Data / Factory Reset -> delete all user data
– Wipe Cache Partition -> Wipe cache
– Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Step 3: Return to recovery main interface Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> Select your ROM
Step 4: Brush complete, restart the phone Patience required – first boot takes a while
Is this complete scheme? Because in xda i've found other way:
Install Vibe ROM, same as step 4 and then:
Step 5. Install Gapps
Step 6. Install SuperSU
Step 7. Wipe data/cache (Factory Reset) and reboot. Done
Sorry for carefullness but i don't want to brick my lenovo and it's better to ask with stupid questions than don't ask and flash. Also my brother had lenovo s650 but after conneting charger with electric socket it burned → then send on warranty to china --> then nothing... So... yeah i'm cautious.
I'm planning to flash cwm from needrom (same page as for stock rom) through mobile uncle tools (of course i will backup my contacts and other stuff). Or maybe it's better to create cwm recovery through mtk droid tools?
Then flash new vibe ui. Should I done this way or is it better other way? Like using stock revovery (but phone is rooted, i know i can remove root but i don't know if this rom is modded in any way so xda users didn't recommend to flash with stock recovery) or doing factory reset and then flashing with stock recovery ( i suppose doing factory reset can be done no matter if rooted, modded, etc., am i right? Then i should be available to make update through system settings?)? Asking because some guys said thay haven't managed to flash stock rom through cwm.
Now let's skip to Kitkat. Supposing i have done flashing properly through cwm i will have Kitkat vibe in stock version. So what then? I suppose i will need to:
1. root it (with kingoroot or iroot or sth like that because there are some problems with root on kitkat, right?)
2. get rid of ****ty china apps through root (suppose there will be around 10 apps to delete, so i will just run ie. kinguser and delete this system apps?)
3. install compatible recovery through mobile uncle tools (cwm or twrp, but in xda rather reign twrp) to flash gapps and maybe supersu if it's possible? Because i've read there are problems with framaroot on vibe but this regards only to framaroot or supersu too?
4. maybe restore imei, if it's lost
5. flash new modem (suppose this one i have now: V52?)
That's rather all, right?
Thanks in advance for your patience in reading and your opinions !

That's rather all, right?
Thanks in advance for your patience in reading and your opinions !

Hi. Alot of writing here! My eyes are like snail eyes now after all this reading!
1. KingoRoot will do fine! Framaroot is not working in KitKat.
2. Before eliminate china apps try to do a full backup of your firmware.
3. Install TWRP, you will find here some.
4. IMEI is lost only if you flash firmware with FlashTool! Not your case.
5. Flash modem... look for my post and you have there alot of KitKat modem software!
6. Yes in general this is all!
7. More tweaks are made, by every user. Depends on every user choices!
8. Good Luck.
I'm after upgrading to kitkat and.... all i can say is:
1. upgraded to kitkat VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_7.149.1_ST_P780_OLK_W_3D22 through cwm (carliv for p780 cn, you can found them on www|ambrand|net/Android) and a nightmare came...
2. i was able to install Kingoroot but i wasn't able to flash any gapps (i had in system apps google play services but only this and after manual install of google store it: "unfortunately stopped" every time) and superuser... and when rebooted into recovery throug mobileuncle tools my binaries for kingoroot where lost so every time I needed to root again...
3. kingoroot helped only with uninstalling user apps not system apps... titanium backup kept saying it works only with supersu...
4. tried flashing gapps with different cwm and twrp --> no success...
5. generally vibe ui is very beautiful, and works slightly better than vibe JB
6. after like 8 hours of trying to get my kitkat to usable state, I gave up...
7. through searching the internet i found VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_7.149.1_ST_P780mix_pansy_1_pl_ 28_03_15, so installed and now it seems to be good, it is mostly for polish users but there is also english inside and it has:
-root
-gaaps
-Xperia keyboard
-Titanium Backup
-Root Explorer
-Sony (Walkman)
-Lenowo launcher 6.8.289
-Lenovo dialer 3.8
-browser Dolphin
-Android browser
-SYNCit 1.1.14
-it has a lot of apps deleted, as you can see it has walkman from sony, so lenovo music app is gone, but performance of whole system is good, so if nothing wrong will happen i will stick with it
8. also it has kinguser (not from kingoroot) installed, but i think from zip named: Android_4.4_x_root, i haven't flashed this zip so now i slightly regreted because it might work then, but maybe some day i will do a backup and waste another day to challenge with stock rom especially with finding working gapps...

I understand what you deed! But here in development area, are alot of firmware! Clean firmware, rooted firmware, etc,
My posts are in Development section.
Hi guys,
just sharing my latest adventure with kitkat...
VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_7.149.1_ST_P780mix_pansy_1_pl_ 28_03_15 was not working on 100% because for example I wasn't able to receive incoming calls...
so flashed again*VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_7.149.1_ST_P780_OLK_W_3D22 <-- stock version, and managed to make it work 100%
so in cwm (used "recovery_cwm_kk_mod_P780":
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. install zip from sdcard "VIBEUI_V2.0_1512_7.149.1_ST_P780_OLK_W_3D22"
5. install zip from sdcard "Android_4.4_x_root" <-- that is 100% working root, not like kingoroot...
6. after installation of root phone rebooted automatically
7. back to cwm and install zip from sdcard "YourZgappsXS-4.4-2014.06.18" <-- that also 100% working gapps
8. deleting china apps if you haven't done after first reboot ;p
9. make backup !! ;p
Those mentioned zips you can download easily with the help of uncle Google
Thank you guys for advices, especially stympy
hello
i have some problems with a rom based in Cyanogen 7 ( it's no official)
the keyboard is small...
there is in some way to modify it and make it bigger?
another thing is that i would like to pass apks from my pc to my htc wildfire s but there's no way the system android don't detected them
the good things is that I got 2.00 GB of free internal memory and is supposed it was installed directly to the sd , so I would like to improve and not change the rom
to prevent spam i can't put the link to download the rom , so the person who was interesed please send me a message
the rom is from another foro in spanish called htcmania
someone could help me?
thanks a lot !
The Keyboard can be changed by searching for another keyboard.apk for your phone, U can update it with google Play, or Aptoide.
Then the app problem, so you can't copy apks to your phone? and your phone doesn't install apps to sd?
Try the app:
apps2sd
or
connect your phone with your computer, install adb drivers
type in your path to yourAndroid SDK installation at Step 1:
Step 1: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Step 2: adb devices (it should say there's a device listed when your phone is connected!)
Step 3: adb shell
=> A $ sign should pop up
Step 4 :pm setInstallLocation 2 (or, new syntax : adb shell pm set-install-location 2)
Another $ should pop up

i installed a new keyboard and the adb drivers but the problem with the apps continues i mean i can't copy apks download from my pc to my phone with a modified rom, the phone doesn't detected them.
for example i tried to download and put in my phone some apk who play store deleted for obvious reasons it is droidsheep XD
however i can download and install apks who are in play store , it is strange...
thanks for your reply ^^
Did you turn on unknown sources in Settings>Security settings ? This allows you to install apps which are not from the play store...
If this is not the issue, you should check google settings( the grey cog with a g in it ), google got this feature which blocks apps, there should be a function in these settings which stops checking your apps that you install.

okey , i will check the google settings , anyway i am sick of this rom ... some apps like google play are continually restart
and a few days later I have noticed that the apks who i want to install from the google play (when it's installed ) restart the phone
that rom have some bugs...
thanks for the reply , but i will not continue with this rom , i make another post asking how i can change modified rom to oficial rom in the htc wildfire s , i don't find anything for this phone in google ...
thanks a lot ^^
Allright, well the problem could lie in your gapps, a corupt google play service can cause alot of trouble and Force Closes on your phone, also when you installed yothe mod, did you wipe everything? (Dalvik cache, Data, cache ...) Don't have the phone so can't test anything, might do some research tho
good luck further!

yes , about the custom rom i wipe everything so i think that was a fault from the chef T_T
pd: do you know how i can change modified rom to oficial rom in the htc wildfire s ?
thanks for your reply again :fingers-crossed:
Well I don't really understand what you mean, but the thing I understand out of it is that you want to go back to a stock Firmware or Rom?
I'd recommend backing everything up firstly (don't forget all your contacts!) .
Then go into recovery and do a factory reset / or Data, Dalvik cache & cache Wipe... (system should be wiped for modified stuff like battery improvements, added scripts, etc. ...)
& that's it for going back to your stock rom.
If you want to go back to stock firmware you should search what type of phone you have (the nickname , single sim or dual sim , all this) and look for stock firmware (.ftf Files)
To get this flashed on your phone you gotta use a flash tool and a computer.
For further information you should read some tutorials on how to flash firmware.

i was talking about the firmware , but i called it oficial rom sorry xD
in a spanish foro called htcmania the moderator told me: You can only install an equal or higher version .
the rom has a version 2.3.7 and the firmware that i would like to install has a 2.3.5 version
anyway, there was a tutorial who explain how downgrade the version of the rom?
thanks ^^
Well you can downgrade, if it is availble for your phone... Better so some more research regarding your phone and just try it.
I have painted myself into a corner with a Samsung Galaxy S 2. It is my
girlfriend's phone and she wanted to play Pokemon Go. The Android
version there was 4.2 (CyanogenMod) with appropriate Google Apps. It has been
working reasonably well.
Pokemon Go needs to have at least Android 4.4, so an update was due. There was
a CyanogenMod snapshot of 12.1 (Android 5.1) which was installable from within
the old CyanogenMod. I hoped that this would go through well and we did the
upgrade. After the upgrade it indeed had Android 5.1. However, the Google Apps
directly crash, especially the Trebuchet launcher. This means that one cannot
start any apps or use any Google services. Especially the Google Play Store
does not work, it shows the error message [RH-01].
I first thought that we had upgraded to Android 4.4, therefore I installed the
Open GApps nano for 4.4:
(Due to forums policy I am not allowed to hotlink or link to the images.
So this is the best I can do now.)
http ://i.imgur.com/DRHqxNx.jpg
This then (unsurprisingly) failed:
http ://i.imgur.com/qjzrDKw.jpg
At least the error message was really helpful! So then I downloaded Open
GApps nano for 5.1. This then also failed because the GApps that I
have installed together with CyanogenMod years ago were not Open GApps but some
other package:
http ://i.imgur.com/0tI6eEn.jpg
At this point I got uneasy. Her phone turned into a paperweight with a
lockscreen. Since I could not seem to move the GApps forward without flashing
the ROM again, I tried to to so without wiping the data. For this I selected
the update mechanism in Cyanogen Recovery and flashed the Android 5.1
ROM onto the device. After this I tried to install the GApps again. However,
those still fail to install. Here I would guess that the CyanogenMod 12.1
“installer” does not wipe the system partition and leaving remnants of the old
GApps package there.
Since it got late I tried to at least get back to the old state and downloaded
the CyanogenMod with Android 4.2. Trying to flash this failed as the device
type was not picked up correctly:
http ://i.imgur.com/yZ9ilM1.jpg
I do not understand this error. This (or a very similar) version of CyanogenMod
has been present on the device up til yesterday. Why doesn't that work any
more.
A friend of mine suggested to replace the Cyanogen Recovery with the
TWRP. For this I have downloaded the appropriate IMG file from Team Win.
Then using heimdall-frontend on Linux I pulled out the PIT file and put the PIT
file back with the twrp.img file onto the recovery partition. Although the
heimdall-frontend told me that I had a success, there was still the Cyanogen
Recovery.
My current guess is that this phone has hardware which does not allow for a
separate recovery partition unless there is an IsoRec kernel installed. The
CyanogenMod 12.1 should have that, but the recovery is probably the one from
the CyanogenMod 10.1 as the option to update the recovery partition was not
checked when performing the OTA upgrade.
I'm stuck and I have no idea how to get the phone into a working condition. Do
you perhaps have an idea what I could do now?
Hi,
CM12.1 Snapshot unfortunately doesn't have isorec, hence you can not install the twrp .img file.
You can flash this and it will give you isorec kernel:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847293132
You will then be able to flash TWRP here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=17876
Once that's install, reboot back into the recovery and you should have TWRP.
Wipe /system, /cache and /dalvik cache.
Flash ROM then flash gapps, then flash isorec kernel again (because once you flash ROM, you will have overwritten the kernel).
If you can't install gapps and it says you have insufficient space, use opengapps 5.1 pico instead.
gsstudios
I managed to install the IsoRec kernel. Then flashing TWRP worked and I was able to use it. The installation of Android 5.1 has worked, but I still had issues after cleaning up /system. Installing Android 4.2 or 4.4 did not help, it kept crashing either way. 4.2 even had an infinite boot loop.
Then I ended up wiping /data and installed 5.1 and the GApps Pico package. Then everything worked, even Pokémon Go.
Thank you for your help, you saved a phone from being unusable .
I have a smiliar issue. I updated to CM 13.0 as well to newest TWRP. I wanted now to install Open Gapps Pico package but can't flash because of insufficient system space.
Do you have an idea what to do now ?

Perhaps you should open up a new thread as this one does not have the correct heading for it.
As far as I have understood, one can use odin/heimdall and some modified PIT file to repartition the device and make /system larger. I suggest you further look into the partitioning of the system and make /system larger.

Thanks Phyton Guy, I will do that.
Tired of failed installed GAPPS ? Different reasons and many many lost time ...
Here is alternative :
1. Install UC Browser
2. Inside , you will find : 9Apps ( the same app as PlayStore )
3. Install 9Apps
- same app as PlayStore
- every app related to Google : working fine.
*** BONUS - install Video Downloader for UC Browser - search Google for this as APK file .
you can download on your phone any video on youtube , inside UC Browser .
That's it ! It's so simple and ...No more Google domination on your Phone !
