[Q] Help about CM 11 or 12 for Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105

Hi,
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105 (JB 4.2.2) with CWM and now i'm planning to install a ROM compatible with my phone which has Android version 4.4 or 5.0.
I stumbled upon the following articles here on XDA:
[ROM][4.4.2][UNOFFICIAL]Cyanogenmod 11 - Pg. 178 | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums
[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL][M12]Cyanogenmod 11.… | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.0 [20150207… | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums
Can somebody tell me:
How is it's interface? Is it Stock Android interface or some other?
The installation method on the pages mentioned above say "Optionally install the Google Apps Addon". What is this Google Apps Addon?
If I install CM, which version would you prefer? CM11 with Android 4.4.2? CM11 with Android 4.4.4? CM12 with Android 5.0.2?
If I don't get the Stock Android interface, how do I get it on the ROMs provided on the above mentioned links? (if I install one of them)
Can I get back to the Stock ROM through Odin?
Are there any risks?
Please give me any information about this because I am new to rooting.
Once I have enough information, I will install CM and I will reply the results here.

which is also known as Android Open Source Project or AOSP. CyanogenMod provide users with better or extra features, which are not found in the original or stock versions of Android.
CyanogenMod comes with numerous built-in features which are not found in Google’s version of Android or in stock versions created by various mobile phone manufacturers and carriers.
Specially its clean from unnecessary bloatware you are stuck with in stock versions.
You can Customize everything in CyanogenMod as Per Your Choice......
[ROM][4.4.2][UNOFFICIAL]Cyanogenmod 11 is Based on Android Kitkat 4.4.2(Older Version).
[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL]Cyanogenmod 11[M12] is Based on Android KITKAT 4.4.4 (Newer than Kitkat 4.4.2) based on Dalvik Run-time.

[ROM] Flyme OS Latest 4.5.4.2 for Mi4i

Hi all my dear Miui users,
Finally the wait is over and you can download all new Flyme os for mi4i not just flyme can be called Fly me. As i see most of them waiting for an eye-striking Rom without any bugs I Present you the Flyme. This is the UI for Meizu phones, and also an customizable rom with hidden features leaving us in a mystery.
What is flyme OS ?
Flyme OS is a stock and after market firmware developed by Meizu for smartphones based on the Android operating system. Some its key features are completely redesigned apps, one-handed usability and performance optimizations. The initial version, Flyme OS 1.0 based on Android 4.0.3 was released on Juny 12, 2012. It was praised by critics for its simple yet beautiful interface design. Flyme OS 2.0 was released later in 2012 . It brought improved cloud services and build-in root support, among other improvements. Flyme OS 3.0 was released together . It was one of the first Android firmwares to integrate a flat UI. Since Flyme OS 3.0, Dirac HD Sound is integrated, bringing an improved audio experience through a certain number of ear and headphones. The successor the Flyme OS 3.0, Flyme OS 4.0 was released in 2014.The current version of Flyme OS, Flyme OS 4.5, is based on Android Lollipop.
So to start enjoying Meizu in your phone [ I mean Flyme os in Mi4i ] .
Requirements for flashing Flyme:
A working Mi4i phone with enabled USB debugging
To enable USB Debugging Tap on MIUI Version 7 times and go to additional settings then to developer options - scroll down and look for it
Your Mi4i should have either 5.6.11 or 6.6.10 MIUI version so as not to have any bootloop
Rooted phone with a custom recovery like TWRP installed [ twrp is recommended]
Download Gapps and Flyme for Mi4i in root of your device storage with links at last
Phone Battery Charged Above 70% At Least.
Backup the original system data (contacts, SMS, application data, etc.)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
Boot into recovery
Clear Data.
Clear Cache.
Clear Dalvik Cache.
Flash flyme_MI4I file from from internal SDCard.
Clear Cache and Clear Dalvik Cache.
Reboot.
Note in the initial boot it takes 5-10 minutes and phone gets hot like red hot iron. and after booting then retart and install Gapps
Disclaimer : I didn't created this ROM, i am just sharing this ROM itself without making any modifications and source link is provided below. If anybody wants more info then he/she can visit the source link. Thank You !

LP/MM based MIUI possible?

Hi everyone!
As asked in the title. Is it possible to port an Lollipop or Marshmallow based MIUI rom to our device? As far as i know, for a port we need a device with similar specs, which is in our case should be the Xiaomi Mi 4.
But my main question ot the devs: Is it at least possible to port it?
Anyone interested in this rom on our device?
Thanks

I'm looking for a dev too. Miui 8 patchrom has been released some weeks ago, and as i know, it could be ported to our z3 6.0.1.
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom/tree/marshmallow
Hope a dev can help us :fingers-crossed:

I'm hoping this too, i love MIUI

Still waiting..

[Discussion] Touchwiz with android m 6.0.1 based on CM/LOS

Hello everyone !
As everyone knows that we have android 6.0.1 and 7.0.x available for Jflte devices i was wondering if maybe a jflte developer could build a rom that is TouchWiz
based on CM/LOS and have android 6.0.1/7.1.x like the rom we got earlier [MIUI 8 based on CM with android 6.0.1] by @mikussj3 .....
i don't know if it's possible to build it or port it that's why i started this thread
I hope i'm in the right section of the forum..
Thanks in advance

TouchWiz can't be based on Lineage.
And porting the TouchWiz stuff to Lineage requires a lot of work. Something that developers don't really want to do or don't have time to do it.
I may be wrong, but I haven't seen a single Lineage/CM ROM that has the TouchWiz framework.
And android 6, 7 TouchWiz ROMs can't be ported to jflte devices because ROM ports I believe have to come from a phone with similar processor type and architecture.
The only S4 that runs Android 6 TouchWiz ROMs is the klte (GT-I9506), which has a Snapdragon 800 processor. So it's similar to the S5, and that made ports possible or easier.

Guys it's not impossible to port android 6.0.1 TouchWiz to GS4 i9505 its just hard to do so. There will be a lot of code changes and stuff like that.

And even then, if some developer ports MM TW, it will be very buggy, and by the time the bugs got fixed, everybody will move on to newer devices.
Think about this way: if that would be possible, a port would already be done.

And that's the problem right there the s4 is dying with everyday passes.

I would love to see a port of the Note 7 on Andriod 5x or 7x..?

I noticed to all the ports of other phones that use TW are on Kitkat why not on a higher Android version like 5x or 7x..?
Iam using Note 7 port from E Team at the moment and that only on 4.4.4 why not 5x or 7x Android..?
CynogenMod is on 7x so why not other roms.
What you think..??

Bcuz it's not possible to use touchwiz apps on cynogenmod.

1.You cannot post these kind of stuffs in this thread
2.Since the stock kernel for above 4.4 didn't provided by Samsung,devs cannot build touchwiz based rom of lollipop or higher

There ain't any TouchWIZ ROMs released by Samsung for our Exynos chipset. (Like for the Note 2, S3 etc). All run on Kitkat.
And also if it where there i need a F2FS patched kernel for AOSP's kernel to work on TW ROMs (which uses a different file system from AOSP for higher android versions).
Else i could've made an attempt like i did for Grand Prime. (But storage will not work, then someone good at compiling kernels could help me at that).
Regards!
