[Q] Best Rom/Mod and How Help! GT-I9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone, I have a galaxy GT-I9100 with the Official version of android 4.1.2 i downloaded this one directly from the phone, but it have some problems, for example it doesnt shut down, instead reboot, so when i want to shut down the phone i have to remove the battery, also i dont want to watch every time that I start the phone my provider logo and music, i prefer something more generic.
so i want to change the rom or Os, i have heard of cyanogen mod but i really never watch it work in a phone so i want recommendations, which one is the best in terms of performance for this phone?
and also, I am very newbie at this so i really dont know hot to do it, and the effects of mistake could be very bad for my phone, so please someone can be good and teach me? thank you.
Some info;
*#1234# shows the following:
PDA:I9100UHMS8
PHONE: I9100UHMS1
CSC: I9100CHTMS3
Compilation; Jzo54k.I9100UHMS8
im from chile and my phone is with the company "Movistar Chile"

First what u need is a custom kernel that will give u custom recovery...
Check out dorimanx or philz (other options too)
U can download a tar file of kernel and flash it via odin in download mode (volume down +power+home button )
Now u have a custom kernel
Now u need a cyanogen mod rom.zip file and google app zip file..
I suggest u to use cm10.1.3 stable version based on android 4.2.2
Download and put the zip file in internal /external card
Reboot to recovery (shut off phone and press volume up +power +home button)
Now u r in recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Go to mounts and storage in recovery
Wipe preload
Wipe system
Now select install zip from card
Choose the cm rom zip and flash it
Now choose the google app zip and flash it
Reboot
Done
This is just a over view... do some study and watch some videos

Thank you!!! can you give me a link to download the custom kernel? thanks

Download the rooted stock or deodex version, copy to root of ur tab. Open rom manager, select install rom. After that it's pretty much self explanatory.

thanks.. i'll read up and try it out..
i assume since it is rooted that you already have clockwork recovery installed.
hold power and vol down to boot into recovery
select wipe cache/factory restore
select install from zip
select the rom i showed you
reboot!
you must put the rom in the root of your tab first
use androzip to move it there

sorry but still a newbie here and i might get annoying to some peeps here but just very cautious on how this would work. so i'm going to ask question
factory restore - does this mean i'm going a clean up and unrooting my device? from the steps above? is the end product going to have the touchwiz update or is this the touchwiz update with a email sync problem? where does the touchwiz update happen? i didn't see that step above?
lastly.. is there a video i watch to see this in action.
galaxytabhacks.com is a bit slow on updating their video's on how to update a rooted GT 10.1 with touchwiz update...
thank you all for the current post and i'm sure that there are many users here that will appreciate this information.. (for all you do please post and cheer on the peeps that helped us out).
how did you root your device?
if you follow those directions you will have the latest tw rom rooted

i followed the steps (video) from site link galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way
basically follow those same steps.
boot into clockwork recovery
make a backup
do a wipe/factory reset
install zip from sdcard
select the docrambone rom i linked
install
reboot
you are now on the latest tw rom with root...easy!

almost confident
ok.. so go to clockwork recovery - i know how with that two options (icons by pressing those buttons)
make a backup - don't know how?
factory reset - i'll read up
install zip from sdcard - done it before
install - if i find it i'll select install
reboot - hopefully
so how does the backup work - any steps.. where can i find that option. thanks again for all these information..
in the main clockword recovery menu select back up and restore ...select backup
these are all in the main menu of cwr... dont worry about the wipe/factory restore just select it and do it.....make sure you put the new rom in the root of your tab first. just like you did with the root.zip when you rooted
put the new rom zip in your tab
boot into cwr
make a back up
do a wipe/factory restore
select install from zip
select choose zip
select the rom zip you downloaded and put in the root of your tab
install
reboot
this is from the first link i gave you
Here is the clockwork mod menu
- Reboot system now (self explanatory )
- Apply update from SDcard. (when you connect your device to your computer it will show up as tablet. The SDcard that cwm refers to is simply your device storage. Always make sure to copy install.zips to the root directory of your tablet storage.) You use this when applying an update for a specific ROM if that is what the ROM developer says.
- Wipe Data/ Factory Reset You should always do this before you install a new ROM or if you are having minor issues with your device.
- Wipe cache partition Think of this as the lite version of whats above . If you do above though it doesn't hurt to do this too.
- Install zip from SDcard Use this to install new ROMs.
- Back up and Restore
- Mounts and Storage use this to connect your device to your computer when in recovery mode. It is also possible to transfer files to your device while in this mode.
- Advanced What you are interested in here is something called dalvik cache, you want to wipe this too before installing any new ROM
- Power off
this is the main menu of clockwork recovery
backupand restore...wipedata/factory reset...install zip reboot are all on this menu

ok.. almost ready.. can never be ready with these stuff but will try will all these information.. thanks.. you are a HERO for many of us this weekend.. i'll send an update tonight during and after the process .. hopefully if i encounter a problem i can still depend on your knowledge.. thank you.
Need some help as well.
My io tab went into that infinity loop so I flash it by fast boot, but then accidentally rooted it? i guess, as I see the superuser icon.
How do I get it back to stock. I have no backup with it at all....and don't know what is happening.
I just want a normal machine that can update to touchwiz officially. thanks
krbernier, thanks for the help!

Install Odin on your PC, get the samsung drivers by installing Kies.
Hold down volume down key, middle of d-pad and power buttons all together while phone is off.
Put a different Rom .zip on your sd card using a PC.
Use Odin to flash clockworkmod to the phone, when fiinshed the phone will boot into cwm.
Use cwm to install the zip you put on the sd.
Reboot into the stable ROM.

I use Odin Multi Downloader v4.34
The data partition not formating would be a cause for concern, if I was you I would try formating it with ClockWorkMod by doing a data wipe/factory reset.
If it was me I would use my computer to put CyanogenMod 7.2 .zip file on the SD (its stable and handy for getting things working)
Most stock ROMS won't flash through CWM.
So to summerise I would try this:
Go into download mode.
Link up with Odin and select your OPS file (make sure GTI5500 OR 5503 appears at top and not the word Android)
Select "One Package" in Odin options
Download a .zip of Clockworkmod for galaxy 5
select it as the One Package and don't touch the other boxes...
let clockworkmod flash into the phone and let it boot into it
now try the data wipe in clockworkmod
install the cyanogenmod zip from the sd and reboot
good luck
I've attached my Clockworkmod Zip file. I use it at least once a week so its good

Yep! There is no key combo for recovery on Galaxy5, if I need to boot recovery and cannot load the rom I just put it in download mode and use odin to reflash clockworkmod, then when its finished it auto boots into cwm and I do whatever I need to

Cwm isn't enough... You need custom kernel...and custom kernels come with cwm... So unlock boatloader... Flash kernel... Then Rom will work..

Ok but then i cant access the recovery on my phone to install the rom , i tried the volume up, down etc and nothing works... i think the cwm isnt working properly....
if u already flashed to boot.img, just repeatedly press volume down button when phone booting, on kernel logo while led lights up.

If i cant access the bootloader how the hell can i install the rom? i didnt flash the rom yet im trying to figure out yet how to access the CWM recovery thats what im having trouble right now
then stop trying to figure out thing u cant achieve.
aosp base rom such as cm11 u want to install require flashing custom kernel, the boot.img provided in the rom zip, which in the kernel itself contains cwm recovery.
if u manage to flash it then u will get cwm that came with the kernel.

oh sorry i wasnt understanding that, i thought it didnt have any recovery, ok but now i installed a recovery from some place maybe i have to uninstall it, so im using flashtool , i put my phone in fastboot mode, then i choose select system to flash? Can You explain the steps using flashtool? im new to this tool too. sorry im really new to this roms thing yet..
1- turn off phone
2- hold volume up button and while still holding the volum up, connect usb to phone and pc. led on phone will light ups blue indicating fastboot mode.
3- open flashtool, click on flash button, select fastboot mode, click ok, click select kernel to flash, on dropdown on lower left change to *.img, browse the boot.img, click ok.
4- flashtool main window will give output log of flashing the kernel.
5- remove usb
6- turn on phone
7- while kernel logo appear and led lights up, press volume down repeatedly.
8- phone will now boot into cwm
9- do wipe data/factory reset
10- flash rom
11- flash gapps
12- profit
anyway, why did u want to flash the buggy cm11?
try custom rom based on stock first, or miui, or cm9 or cm10. those roms are stable enough for everyday use.

I have to send the folder cm-11.0-20131225-NIGHTLY-LegacyXperia-mango.zip and the gapps folder to sd card before i flash kernel right?
yes, both the rom zip and gapps zip need to be in sdcard.
and if i'm not mistaken, cm11 need to repartition system partition due to not enough space in it for the big rom.
probably need to manually format system too before flash, i'm not really sure.
ask in the support thread instead

It Just says This:
WARNING: This ROM uses a modified internal memory layout.
Our /system partition is originally 400MB but this space is not enough for a fluid kitkat experience and a full installation with proper google apps.
Our /cache partition is also too small to fit art-cache when we enable the ART runtime. We originally had 100MB /cache but art-cache needs ~150mb of free space.
I have repartitioned the internal memory layout, giving:
450mb in /system
469,5mb in /data
8mb in /cache
Steps required for correct installation (order is important):
1: Flash boot.img in fastboot & reboot into recovery
1.1 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
2: Enter recovery, go to mounts and storage
3: Format /system, then /data and then /cache (Important step!)
4: Flash update zip
5: Flash gapps (recommended package is the one provided in the link below)
Steps 1.1, 2 & 3 are not needed when you install new cm11 nightlies on top of older cm11 builds in the future
If you want to return to a ROM that doesn't use the new partition layout, you need to follow the above steps again (only replace boot.img & update zip with the ones you want to use).

First, pull the battery. Now what version of KitKat was installed on you device before you tried to flash a rom on your device? Next what rom are you trying to flash on the device ? Did you try and install the recovery that comes with the rom manager ? It is way out of date !!! Here is my thread read through it first http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 now reinstall battery then boot into download mode and odin flash the rom you want. Which should be done after you have made a copy of your stock rooted OS. That way you have a backup in case something goes wrong !!!
i pulled battery out then back in pressed home,power,volume down, its asked volume down to cancel , volume up to install rom. i press volume down but does the same all over again..
i have kit kat, and yes i went into recovery mode with rom manager, did not know it was out of date.
ok ill follow your steps jimz and thank you for getting back to me.

OK your almost there, after you reinstall the battery. Press the power button, volume down, and menu button at the same time. A new screen will come up then press the volume up button only, now you are in download mode. ( some people call it odin mode it's the place where you flash/install roms in the device) Next bring up odin on your PC then then connect your device via the charging cable. Now click on PDA then open the OS you want flash. Then don't touch anything else and click start.
That was fast and dirty just go back to the thread for more info. Enjoy !!!

Here is the link for CM12 that is not a nightly build http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375 and here is the link to the zip file for your device https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/temasek/Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - HLTESPR/CM12 just click download place the zip on your sd card, wipe system, wipe cache and delvik cache and flash through your recovery. ( make sure you have a backup of your stock rooted rom first ) Remember it is CM 12 some features may not work. But if your a CM fan this is the best one out there.
Here is the link to add in the Google apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900 I would go with the MINI MODULAR PACKAGE just click on Basketbuild then click on download for the zip file. Place on sd card wipe cache and delvik cache then install the zip file this will give you the basic Google apps. But you can always go with the full Google package that gives you a lot of junk you won't use, which kinda defeats the purpose . Enjoy !!!

Ya, it does that sometimes. You can do a quick scan with your anti virus program. But most of the time that's normal, because your PC does not recognize the program as something you normally use. I use odin v 1.85 it is a little older but very stable here is a link https://mega.co.nz/#!oA5xzTAL!LXoVWB...ZlOMSWdRGVX6Uo this is my mega site no virus there.

SAMSUNG GALAXY YOUNG 2 ( sm-g130 )

All of us have, one wish to have a custom rom on our device.
After few days of web browsing, I founded one really cool possibility, and that is idea of using
SAMSUNG GALAXY V CUSTOM ROM.
Thats true we can use them all, and all of them can be finded on :
http://www.galaxyvarchive.blogspot.com/
But after flashing via CWM, you will need to flash custom build prop of our phone.
If you are new in flashing custom roms continue reading, and also there will be special note how to flash build prop correctly !
INSTRUCTIONS :
1) Turn phone in CWM(Hold power,menu and volume up button together)
2) Wipe data, cash, dalvik-placed in advanced options
3) Chose zip from sd card, and search rom you are download (Zentouch V2, and Nemoid recommanded)
4)wait till install complete
******* THEN YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL BUILD PROP ! *********
1) after installation of rom dont turn of recovery
2) again wipe dalvik
3)choose build prop and wait till complete
4)Reboot your device and enjoy !
NOTE: ZENTOUCH, AND NEMOID DONT CONTAIN ANY ERRORS (JUST IF YOU FLASH TEIR UPDATES YOU NEED TO FLASH CLEAN ROM, DONT UPDATES OF THIS ROMS), AND DONT EXTRACT ZIP FILE OF ROM OR BUILD PROP IT NEED TO BE LIKE THAT !
AND THIS WORKS FOR ALL OF OUR SM-G130 VERSIONS!
CWM IF YOU DONT HAVE IT
So first what you will need is ODIN 3.09 To instal cwm recovery
1) Start odin(note: phone must be unplugged)
2) Turn phone into download mode
3) Check ap box, and find cwm.tar file placed on your pc after download and than select it..
4) Flash it via odin
5) Reboot your phone
6) Turn it off again
7) Press volume +, home and power button and voila you got cwm
Please press tnx

I installed 3 different roms, followed the instructions and flashed buildprop. With all roms I get the same error: "unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped". The Galaxy V is 480x800 pixels, roms are no good, they don't display correctly. Some of the phone dialler numbers are not displaying because of the different resolution. We need a rom adapted to our phone.

I just got the touch screen of my SM-G130 repaired and my phone was "gone" for a few weeks. Had no chance yet to try these custom ROMs. I am going away now for summer holidays, but when I return halfway August I am gonna try the ROMs and will post my experiences. Bye bye.
Thnx for this post(searching for post of our young 2 for weeks). Gonna try these roms
But there is one problem Both deletes my IMEI number so, I cant use my SIM.
Zentouch V2 works perfectly in mi Young 2. I will write a post in HTCMania, in Spanish, on how install the ROM.

Yes, I used the buildpro this post. I can not post links. Enter HTCMania, see section Samsung, look at other Samsung smartphones and find the post with the following name: Instalar Custom ROM en Galaxy Young 2 That's my post. Luck.
Found it, thanks:

Hi there people,
Do you guys experience significant performance / speed increase with these custom roms, in comparison with the stock rom?
Thanks!
I'm sharing with you another build.prop for those who have got a SM-G130HN device and wanna install ZenTouch ROM v2:
View attachment SM-G130HN_BUILDPROP.zip
It's a flashable ZIP, don't worry about that.
