Hello All. I have built the latest version of OmniROM for the e970. I pretty much tweaked the kernel and device tree from CyanogenMod to get it working. The first nightly ran today (7/9/2014). You should see a nightly around 1:00AM (Central Time) from here on out.
I'm using this as my daily driver with no issues.
Please install at your own risk as I am not responsible for damage you may cause to your own device.
Requirements
Your recovery must support Kit-Kat ROMs
TWRP 2.7.1.0 (Compiled with OmniROM 4.4.4 device tree) - This is not flashable. You must either manually load it using dd from adb or an app like Nandroid Manager in the Play Store.
http://goo.gl/hrd5uN
Mini Modular PA GApps
BaNkS GApps
If you want root, you must install is separately. You should only have to flash this the first time.
SuperSU Flashable
Downloads
http://goo.gl/rtpTVL
First installation
- Download gapps and the latest nightly build
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash the nightly build then gapps
- Root access must be installed seperately from http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/
- WIPE DATA!!!
- Reboot and enjoy your KitKat
Known Issues
- NFC Not working
- Bluetooth Tethering not working
- GPS not working - Fixed 7/4/2014
- Fixed issue I found with the dialer. 7/8/2014
- I stopped using the vendor files from TheMuppets github as they were incomplete and pulled them directly from my phone. There is a script in the device tree to do it for those who want to build on their own.

using this ROM latest build [07/08/2014] with neighborhood hackers kernel & screen tears a lot, gonna try without it & report.
EDIT: The latest build does not have proper root access :/
I don't think OmniROM has SU built in. It can be downloaded from http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/ and flashed in TWRP or CWM. I'll add this to the OP.

Hi Rjwil1086,
I want to know is this ROM enable OTG to connect pen drive or other external devices. As default this device is not enable.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bharat.
It looks like there is a hack out there based on Nexus 4 code. I have not implemented such a change to the kernel, and I don't think the gproj kernel comes with it (anyone correct me if I'm wrong). Right now I'm focusing on optimization and bug fixes. Once I feel comfortable that everything is working as intended I may start modifying things.

Clean flashed the latest nightly today and found that NFC doesn't work. It doesn't turn on. Can anyone confirm ?
I think there is a file missing from the proprietary files. I'll try to fix it this weekend
Sent from my LG-E970 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks. Another thing I want to point out is that this app WORD WEB DICTIONARY which I use on a regular basis gives an error of no external sd card detected. Which is weird since the sd card is present. I had the same issue on stock 4.4.2 rom that has been ported for e970. Another app that ZEDGE fails to download anything even though the WiFi is connected same behavior on the stock rom with it too.
Photosphere/HDR/Panorama working on this rom?

I even tried with re download but again same problem. I also tried TWRP but no luck. CM11 nightly is installing well on CWM as well as TWRP but facing issue with OMNIROM.
required your expert help.
I just installed the 7/23 build and had no issues. I am running TWRP 2.7.1.0 that I compiled. Here is the link http://goo.gl/hrd5uN. This is not a flashable zip. You will need to flash it from adb using dd or one of those fancy apps available on the Play Store that will flash recovery images. I like Nandroid Manager, but I'm sure others will work too. I will also add this to the OP, and this can be compiled using the same device tree as OmniROM in the OP.
I haven't forgotten about the NFC issue and I found out Bluetooth tethering isn't working either. I'm going to try to get to these this week but work is keeping me busy for the moment.

I'm not a camera person, so I'm not sure if this is working. I can't seem to get it to create photosphere shots but panorama is working. HDR isn't an option with the built in camera app. Please let me know if the camera isn't working as intended and if you can fix it let me know and we can incorporate the fix in the device tree.

I know this has been mentioned elsewhere for other Xperia Models, typically newer than the Z U, but I am running in to an issue where my two z ultras are trying to use the same mac address.
I wondered if there was a device specific work around for the z ultra and / if this is being addressed.
Running the latest nightly CM12 builds.
Cheers in advance.
http://d-h.st/agR
Download this zip and flash, it is a fix for when the mac address changes after flashing a custom rom.
Regards
Hi,
Thanks for the post, but unfortunately I am getting a package verification error and a footer error when I attempt to flash the package in recovery.
You are using cyanogenmod recovery, right? If so, you have to use TWRP or CWM to flash it, cm recovery have signature check and you can't turn it off, all custom recoveries have it disabled by default.
Regards
Thanks for the heads up teddy. I was using CM recovery. Installed TWRP and flashed the zip/update. However, CM12 goes tits up with TWRP every time I update CM12 and only seems to play nice with CM recovery. Gapps seems to be the issue with none stop force stops. Seems in order for this to work I have to flash TWRP, flash the mac address zip and then flash CM recovery back every time I want to update via nightly.
You can flash TWRP to the FOTAKernel partition if you don't want to flash it everytime you update rom and if you flash it, it should work like CM recovery and it will be booting instead of CM recovery. Just download an app called Rashr and install TWRP from the app I assume the fix is working for you, isn't it?
Regards
I did use rashr to install TWRP and that's when the issues arose.
Unfortunately the nightly update came through after installing TWRP so I did the update for 30th and the phone was in an unusable state via gapps force closes as mentioned. So I flashed back to CMr via the update and haven't installed the update yet.
Until I have a workable solution to the recovery issue I won't be proceeding. It will be too much hassle each time the updates arrive.
I don't think that gapps are force closing because of the recovery installed, that would be weird. Have you tried flashing another gapps? Because I have also used CM12 with TWRP and gapps and I haven't got that sort of problems, even now I am using CyanideL (CM12-based) with TWRP and on my configuration it is OK. I will try using CM12 nightlies with TWRP tomorrow and I will write you back if I found a solution
Regards
Yes, I was using the signed gapps dated late last year, but when I came across the issue I reflashed the whole of CM12 with the more recent ones dated April I think. I still had the same problem, which is when I read up and saw it was attributed to using a non-CM recovery and reset everything back to CM12 nightly + CMr, I did however keep the most recent gapps. Let me know how you get on.
I am currently on cm-10.1.3 galaxy s2 i9100 intl (International, NOT G). It has CM-based Recovery v6.0.3.6. How do I upgrade to new rom cm-11 nightly?
1. Can the above CM-based Recovery v6.0.3.6 be usd for the flashing? Any link to a detailed post would be appreciated? I have seen references to problems if the above used, or first one has to goto cm-10.2 etc. It looks like cm-10.2 has been pulled back, I do not see that among cm downloads area.
2. Using the built in 'CM Check for updates' I downloaded the latest cm-11 nightly, it went without any error. But I do not see that .zip file anywhere. Where is that supposed to be?
Any help is appreciated.

The cm11 zip file will most likely be in your internal sd card. You should be able to flash it from there from recovery, but first I would update the recovery to something more recent
Just download the latest philz recovery from HERE You want the "latest philz" from the third post. Flash this recovery, reboot into recovery(not system), do a full wipe after any backups you want to do, then flash the cm11 zip and compatible gapps(optional)
There are other recoveries you can use, just use the latest one if possible, philz is what I use

Thank you very much for your very helpful reply. I have more to clarify now.
A. Well, I found out why I dont see the cm-11 zip file. (I did search in the *nix console with
'find / -name cm-*.zip'. Couple of the other older zips do show up.). To see the problem I had to watch during the full download; towards the end it has a very brief popup like 'MD5 check failed'. I have no idea why the latest cm-11-20150426-nightly md5 is failing at my end!! The previous 20150412 could not be downloaded either (though I was not there to catch the md5 error, but since there was no file, I assume it failed similarly.) So I tried the 20150406, and that did ask me if I wanted to flash, I cancelled that, and the zip is in the /storage/sdcard0/cmupdater/ . Good.
B. I had never used any philz recovery tool before. So to flash this new recovery, I use the current CM-based Recovery v6.0.3.6, just like I load the gapps zip?
B1. When you say philz, from third post, this one? 8th September 2012, 11:40 PM |#3 ?
It says it 'can be flashed in stock recovery 3e: No Yellow Triangle'. Mine is no longer the stock recovery, since I had updated to the v6.0.3.6. My phone has a Yellow Triangle on boot! Does this mean I cannot use this one? Kindly explain.
So philz recovery is different flavour from the CM-10.1.3 based I have? I had used the flashing only once before to come from the stock to the 10.1.3. Are these two recoveries fully compatible?
C. I had already downloaded the gapps zip for cm-11. The date of that is rather old; I assume there is only one gapps zip version for the cm-11?
D. Since there have been so many cm-11 NIGHTLYs out there, no stable, or monthly, how does one select one of the more stable among them. I really do not need the latest, the primary reason is the main version Andorid upgrade, and I want the ones after the battery drain problem, and the music stop problems were fixed. Is there any place where they give a relative 'goodness' grading to these NIGHTLYs?
Thank you for your continuing help.

This is a continuation of my last reply to you. Double checking: The latest zip file I see at the goo.im downloads site phiilz_touch->CWM_Advanced_Editiion->i9100 is
philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.zip Sun, 06 Jul 2014 22:47:33 GMT
Should I flash this from my CM-based Recovey v6.0.36 ?. After this flash, i suppose I can do a regular phone booting also, before flashing the cm-11? Thank you.

The latest philz is correct - 6.48.4. Yes you can flash it from your recovery, it is just an updated version of the v6.0.3.6, something like 6.0.4.something with touch ui. It will work flashing later android versions where the earlier one may not. Just flash it and reboot straight back into recovery when you are ready to do your backups, wipes and installs.
The nightly cm11's are all very stable at this stage; I would download the latest, but the more important bug fixes were implemented from about mid january(eg. fpbug fix). Anything after that would be ok. The gapps, I would download the latest just before I flashed the rom, you are better off with the latest play services etc. As long as they are compatible to 4.4.4, you can choose whatever gapps you want. I like minimal gapps by @jajb for example, but it's up to you. HERE are most of the gapps available at the moment.
If you can I would download the rom by pc. You are recommended to check the md5 sum whenever you download roms/gapps to make sure the download was successful
noppy22, Thank you. That clears up many things. The link to the gapps is a big help. I had previously read somewhere that my phone needed a small foot print gapps, because the system (?) partition was ony about 500mb. That was what I had downloaded, but I can check the newer ones.
How do I check the md5 checksum after the download? I have access to the terminal, and I can use minimal *nix commands, once i know the utility name At philz, there were .zip and .zip.md5 of the same version date. Can I flash either one? I know, as I mentioned in two msgs ago, when I use the system download of nightly, it automatically checks the md5, and saves only if it is correct. But I simply downloaded the gapps, and the .zip of he philz, so I do not know how to check the md5. Info-zip versions of zip has their own integrity check with unzip -t, but the unzip in busybox of Android appears minimal without those features. Thank you agian, I am almost ready to upgrade, as soon as I hear back from you

Yes you are generally better off with a smaller gapps package due to the smaller /system in the s2, more so in the newer lollipop roms.
You can check the md5 in a variety of ways, google will tell you ways to if you want to search, and there are apps in the market that check for you. I personally use hashtab, which you download to your pc. It gives you a tab in "properties" that allows you to compare the md5 value against the download site
Thank you. I got my s2 running on 4.4.4, thanks to your help. Everything went fine; I will reload another newer 'small' gapps pkg soon.
As for the md5 check, I was wondering if there is a way to do that from the phone (after a download) or using philz recovery, after download of a .zip.

Just go to play store and search for "md5 checker". There are several there. Sorry I haven't used any, so can't recommend but they should be able to give you a reference point
I have run into a problem, and I am stuck. While playing with the setting of profiles, I lost wifi, and the cell connection permanently. It is possible there is bug in the new profile version. Anyway, I flashed again the same nightly (after wipe for loading a new rom), and then this time without the gapps re-flashing, booted the system up. Both the wifi and the cell connected this time. Of course there was no google apps. So, I reflashed the philz advanced (the cm flash always gets rid of the philz advanced), then added the same apps pkg as before. But then when I booted the system up, both the wifi and the cell were not connecting!!
Any suggestions? Thank you.
PS. A related question. Does philz provide a way to save all the installed up and their setting to the external sdcard, and then reboot it? I am particularly interested in the settings save and restore.

I don't know about the connection problems, you could post the problem in the cm11 thread as it is more specific to that rom. I have heard problems in cm12 with using gapps not released by cm, so you could try cm gapps HERE
Other than using the backup feature of philz, there isn't really any option to save settings. You could check out titanium backup from the market. It has the most comprehensive features for backing up apps and settings, although I have had problems with re-installing stuff using it, but plenty of people swear by it....
Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I have a Samsung S II GT-i9100 which has been running the Cyanogenmod 12.1 perfectly, with no issues what so ever. However, over the weekend I noticed that Cyanogenmod 13.0 Nightly was available and decided to update to this via my phone. Unfortunately, since upgrading almost all my apps have disappeared along with Google Play Services and Google Store, I have been able to download some of the apps, however, some like Strava will not work without Google Play Services. To compound matters when I boot into Recovery Mode, it displays error and will not allow me to do anything. furthermore I am unable to use TWRP Recovery that I had installed on 12.1, as Cyanogenmod 13.0 has installed its own version. I am trying to download CyanogenMod patch: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...9a3b760054a6b7, but I am unable to download the 9bfbaf33.tar file, which seems to download for approx 30 seconds and stops.
I have also tried to install the lastest update for Cyanogenmod but once it's in Recovery Mode, nothing happens and all that it shows is the message ERROR.
I am at my witts end and would appreciate any help, as I have spent three days trying to find a suitable solution.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i've got a problem too. Last week i've upgraded my phone(i9100) from CM12.1 to the first release of CM13 and I forgot to install at first gapps.

Hi,
You can not use the patches on cyanogenmod gerrit as they are used for developers! Users will not be able to patch the kernel/ROM themselves unless they are want to compile the ROM/Kernel themselves.
As for a solution, you need to flash a kernel .tar file via ODIN, either TWRP CM12.1 kernel by Lanchon or TWRP CM12.1 by Lysergic Acid would do fine. Then you will have to install CM13, gapps, Isorec recovery manually after doing all necessary wipes (factory reset, wipe /system). Flashing Isorec recovery is also very important as you won't be able to do anything in CM recovery, so do all of the flashing before booting into CM13. For what gapps package to use, use Opengapps Pico. If you get space insufficient errors, you will have to increase system partition using the guide linked in the CM13 thread.
Good Luck! - gsstudios.

Look at the post above. You need Isorec recovery like TWRP (provided in Isorec thread) to flash zips in CM13. If you have space insufficient errors, repartition your device using the guide linked in the CM13 thread.

Flashing Isorec recovery is also very important as you won't be able to do anything in CM recovery, so do all of the flashing before booting into CM13. For what gapps package to use, use Opengapps Pico. If you get space insufficient errors, you will have to increase system partition using the guide linked in the CM13 thread.
Good Luck! - gsstudios.

Look at the post above. You need Isorec recovery like TWRP (provided in Isorec thread) to flash zips in CM13. If you have space insufficient errors, repartition your device using the guide linked in the CM13 thread.

Cheers GGStudios you are a gentleman and a scholar. One final question (hopefully) when choosing the Opengapps, which do I choose:
Arm / Arm64 / x86 (I have a Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100)
5.1 / 6.0
Aroma / Super / Stock / Full / Mini / Micro / Nano / Pico
Thanks once again
Deepens on the size of /system partition. I would choose ARM/6.0/Pico, just to be safe. Bigger gapps might work, but I'm not completely sure.
Cheers for the advice Kevin3014.
Sorry for all the questions.
Okay, I seem to have all the necessary files to sort this phone of mine out. However, I am struggling to locate the Isorec recovery file, when I click on the hyperlink I am taken to http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/isorec-isolated-recovery-galaxy-s2-t3291176, from where I select CyanogenMod patch: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...9a3b760054a6b7. Once at the Github site I am shown IsoRec: Isolated Recovery for the Exynos 4210 family, but unfortunately I cannot find the necessary file(s). Please can someone direct me to the file.
Also when you suggest installing Isorec recovery is that via Odin or through Recovery Mode.
Thanks
Here's the IsoRec Kernel.

And here are the IsoRec Recovery
TWRP- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960684130
Or
CWM- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960683602
Choose the recovery you like the most, many prefer TWRP.
Thank you so much Kevin3014, I was at the point of giving up, you're a star.
Thanks once again.
You're welcome.
Hi , i im in the same situation like pops1368 . Can u write me what to do step by step . I ve a limited connection and i need to fix this . Ty.
Hi Rolves1899,
If you look at GSStudios' reply to me on the previous page, you will see that he has provided me with the resolution. Further down you will also see replies from Kevin3014 which provide further clarification.
Between both replies you will be able to fix the issues with your phone.
GGStudio, Kevin3014,
Would either of you guys know why my contacts refuse to Import into the Contacts app. I have a VCard file stored on my external SD card and when I attempt to Import the file via Contacts it shows that its performing the Import, yet when I look at the Contatcs app, theres nothing there. What is going wrong?
Thx for reply. CM13 seems like have some problems. Do u know how can i back to cm12.1 ?
---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------
Also after setup the kernel , will i able to flash .zip files from stock recovery ? Should do i anything else?
I cant flash recovery. Successfully flashed kernel then put all zips in to sd . But stock recovery doesnt let me flash them.

Try to sync your contacts from your Google account. If you don't have any contacts in your Google account then you can import that vCard on Google Contacts.
Or you could just try a third party contacts app and see whether it could import your contacts from the vCard file.

Just flash the recovery the same way you flashed the kernel.
Flashed kernel with odin but recovery is .zip file. Where can i get the odin version ?

Make sure you have both the IsoRec kernel and recovery in your phone's SD card.
Flash this CWM using Odin. After successfully flashing it, do NOT boot into CyanogenMod, but boot into recovery, in CWM flash the IsoRec kernel and then flash IsoRec TWRP. Reboot your recovery, and you should see TWRP.
Cheers Kevin3014. I managed to figure it out after a lot of effing and jeffing, turns out my previous vCard was corrupt.
Thanks for all your help.
After nearly 3 months of work, it's time for the first test build of Lineage 15.1. The LTE variant is the first out, and the 3G variant will follow shortly. The dual-sim variant however might take a lot longer, or maybe never. This because we're now using source built radio interface library and blobs from flo/deb (Nexus 7) devices, and SIM detection is broken on the dual-sim variant with these.
To flash this, you'll need updated TWRP recovery:
serrano3gxx (I9190): https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys4mini3gxx.html
serranodsdd (I9192): https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys4minidsdd.html
serranoltexx (I9195): https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys4minilte.html
Flash in Odin or through your existing TWRP.
Download Gapps: https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html
MindTheGapps is recommended.

Upgrading from 14.1 is not possible at this point.
Reserved for something.
Thanks a lot for your great work on our device - will try the build after downloading!
Edit: Rom works fine for my after some FCs at the Google Account setup (using micro gapps 08-11-2017).
Aweseome, thanks arco. I too experienced some Google crashes on first boot, but since then ROM works stable as one could wish, also battery life is good. Many settings are not accessable yet, but you wrote that in your post so I knew from the beginning. Gonna keep testing!
I installed the rom in my S4mini LTE. I faced some FCs at first boot (as the other members), but after that, everything is running smoothly.
I rooted the phone with Magisk as AddonSu is only for 14.1.
I am missing the option for "advanced restart", as well as the "buttons" menu options so as to change the long press of home and menu buttons etc.
Other than that, the rom is great. Congrats to the devs.
Similar FCs here (OpenGapps Nano), but no issues other than that. Installing APKs outside the playstore did not work for the standard filemanager and browser yet, but worked for Chrome.
Thats great NEWS!
Hope 3G serrano version is released soon arco!!
Thanks

Problem to install
Hello Arco68:
Device: i9190 - 3G
I was using custom-twrp-3.1.1-0-serrano3gxx-TRYOUT-signed (attached)
Using this build on recovery i could navigate OK inside SDCARD, when i try to install LINEAGE15 shows an ERROR 7 during installation.
So, i use that recovery to install recovery.img of your first post, but after that, when i navigate to sdcard shows empty (nothing).
I have lineage15 and Gapps on sdcard to install as zip.
So i could not select them. Any ideas to solve this?
I think recovery.img for 3G is buggy. (i test lte recovery to see what happens, i could navitate OK directorties in sdcard, but when installing lineage15 shows device is lte and the firmware is 3g, correct error).
So i think there is something wrong with 3G recovery of post 1
THX @arco68 for your work.
The first look after flashing it on my Phone, really good ,smooth.
The most of my used Options are working.
Bluetooth, mobile Data, Wlan Camera, I will try more and give feedback.
Question: will the TWRP also work for LOS 14.x ?

I could install LIneage15 and runs OK, BUT when i install gapps 8.0 (micro, or pico for example), lineage starts to shows "google play services has stopped" error.
I have done a full complete WIPE (all advanced wipes on teamwin recovery and factory reset). Full clean of device.
Any ideas or compatibility problem with gapps?
Any alternative way of installing google play so i could install from there?

Did you install gapps right after installing the rom, before rebooting?

I try just after the ROM , and also after a complete reboot of the ROM (after). Both scenarios SAME problem. "google play services has stopped, gallery has stopped , etc."
I just re-install above the firmware one more time, and seems google play do a forced reinstall of google play directly from google and now seems working.
Maybe the gapps is outdated or has a bug, as google reinstall an updated version now.
Working version Google Play 8.4.|8-V-all FP 174072765
Google play store 11.7.46 (436-175121617)
Maybe GAPPS has OLD versions for 8.0 . I will check with them from the page
Solved after a second firmware rom flashing of lineage.. it keeps saying error, until google play was forced updated
@arco68 i sad about 19192 but i trust that you'll find a solution for this
After testing the ROM 24 hours seems all ok.
But i saw that on developer options the option to go root "root and applications" to have root access is missing.
How to be root from inside Lineage?
Or do i need to flash magisk?
Regards

You are able to root your device with a extra root package (you can get it from the offiziell LineageOS download page).

Had the same problem when I installed the rom, than did a reboot and after first start flashed Gapps.
I did a clean install with Gapps flashed after the rom, only got some FCs (just ignore them) and it will work.
Hello.
What is the last and best custom ROM for the Galaxy Wifi 5.0, and where can I find the files?
Thanks.
Meticulus.co.vu to download the latest but listen to me you need to start with cwm, then flash meticulous 4.4.4 to update the cwm, then flash twrp to get 5.1.1 installed, here. I figured out the exact steps to get this device working perfectly again. Firstly the twrp folder on the external sd card has to be renamed TWRP because it has extra strange characters after the TWRP. Now we know how to restore our backup, we can start by ODIN back to stock, then Framaroot v1.4.1 root the device then download entropys daily driver kernel cwm, the flash it via terminal emulator, reboot, then you have to install meticulous carbon 4.4.4 to fix the partitions and update the cwm to adb sideload the twrp. So you can then flash Meticulus Carbon 5.1.1 and both updates and 5.1.1 pico gapps. Good to go. Meticulus made the kernel overclock to 1.7ghz and it runs pretty darn good honestly. I modded the build.prop vm dalvik heap limit to 384m from 128m to get some extra performance out of it.

I have tried but something went wrong.
Now when I boot I have a black screen with "NUTELLA" and a logo with "M".
If I use recovery mode a menu with yellow items is shown but every installation from ZIP file fails with the error:
E: failed to map file
Installation aborted.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks !

1st download this - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225177417 + update 1 & 2 here =
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24665542585483890
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686680535466961
2nd make sure you have cwm 5.0.2.7 because that Meticulus KK Carbon 4.4.4 rom will update to the version of cwm required to install twrp 2.8.0.0
3rd install the twrp 2.8.0.0 after you updated your cwm via the rom above, it auto-updates the cwm to the version required to have to flash twrp 2.8.0.0
twrp here - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686680535466961
then install Meticulus 4.4.4 KK Carbon 4.4.4 make sure to put them in folders to know the KK is 4.4.4 and LP is 5.1.1
it fixes the partitions so it can take the 5.1.1 meticulous rom make sure to install the updates
ps - 4.4.4 is faster than 5.1.1
test 4.4.4 KK kit kat first then try 5.1.1 …. I'm using 5.1.1 because its newer but its really slow.
rom 5.1.1 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688755
update 1 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24665542585483911
update 2 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686680535466111
Finally I has been able to restore my device and install KK.
Now I will try it for some days and then will decide if upgrade to CM12
Some problems because .meticulus site is down today ( deleted ???? ) and because Odin with Win10 doesn't recognise my device. fortunately I still have a WinXP machine that works like a charms !

Is CM12 even slower than KK ?

Yeah I'm using Slim Rom 4.3.1 right now but the camera is broken the pictures are blurry and the result is a corrupt file capture. So now I have to find another rom that'll work better.
Meticilius roms are laggy as all get out so idk what to do. I'm going to re-read my post on how to do these tricks anyway its been a while since i messed with it.
*UPDATE* I find Meticulus 4.4.4 works best for now at least the camera isnt broken but no overclock stability sadly but its fine. If only this device had 2gb ram it would be way more fun to play around with.
sadly the link posted for TWRP for the YPG70 was just the same link all over again.
does anyone happen to have the most recent TWRP?
what I want to do is repurpose my Galaxy Wifi Player to view the remote status of my car, so all it needs is a working screen, web browser and wifi.

Is there any video to follow steps? Please help me. Thank you.
I'm sorry but I forgot how to do it from the gingerbread is what it comes with by stock right? Reading my posts on here I tell exactly how to do it around these threads somewhere around here on xda. Sorry bro. Keep in touch. BTW - the device is best left stock because its useless for anything for anything other than for musicolet music player or music folder player & mx player. I'd be pleased with stock because all I use mine for is Music only.
