Dear All,
Sorry to ask some really basic questions. I am new to rooting and flashing. I have successfully rooted and flashed CM10 to a Galaxy tab2 and then recently decided to root by S2 which I no longer needed on a day to day basis.
I successfully rooted it and then flashed the stable version of CM10.1 to it, then.... got to clever for my own good and flashed a CM12.1 nightly to it and without checking the GAPP package that I had already downloaded....the wrong one!
I am now getting constant error messages when I boot it up saying that AOSP Android keyboard not working and to compound the problem when I flashed CM12.1 it installed Cyanogen Recovery which does not have an option to wipe the Dalvik Cache which I think is what is wrong.
Please be so kind as to point me to any threads that may help as I have searched in vain.
Many thanks
Doug
Hi
Here is a Gapps thread for CM12.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
You have to do a clean flash of CM12.1. Do you have the i9100 model?

Ok. Here is it. I have seen a stable build of Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G, REMEMBER IS (G)!!!! Don't reply me with the answer of S2 without the G, I'm asking the[G] Version. So the stable build was here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=i9100g&type=stable for the [Direct Download: cm-9.1.0-i9100g.zip ] So i wondering if it really stable and safe. So, here the Question.
1ST:Is it safe to flash? Will it brick? Worth it? And what Android version IS IT?
2ND:Is this CWM Good, Working, and Safe to flash?So, i'm giving 2 link, (Not downloaded from here)=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934 and i found these word=This is a kernel including ClockworkMod Recovery for use on Samsung roms.
Don't use this kernel on aosp based roms like CyanogenMod!!!) And this link is where i'm downloaded the CWM and flashed it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683800 because of GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4 it make me think it is the same from the first link i gave that have LP7 hacked, and i wonder it will it be also not support cynogenmod.
3RD: If the CWM at STEP 2 is not supported, What CWM that is work for SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 GT-I9100G and Flash able to cynogenmod with not PROBLEM!
4ST: Anyone have this on their Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G? Is everything WORKING FINE? Is the Performance and Battery Good?
5ST: Do i need to factory reset the phone before and after? And can anyone tell me the step if you can?
My phone is rooted and my battery is so bad and i wonder is this rom good for battery and performance. I'm afraid of bricking my phone because of the CWM. I installed cwm on galaxy 5 and it died. So This is important information to me. and PLEASE ANSWER ALL MY QUESTION CAREFULLY!

Weird, you're the first I heard who has complains about Neatrom (did you try to install the lastest 6.8 version?)
Anyway, the process is the same for all custom roms, the only different is that philz recovery was updated from 6.7.9 to 6.14.5

i have tried with the philz 6.04.5 which u had suggested for me while in my inquiry for my phone.well shortly today i got frustrared and tried installing the neatrom v 5.7 for samsung galaxy s2 gt i9100 well it was a wooping big file almost 738 mb but that also installed as per ur instructions and read aurthor sale post on how to install but now the problem i am facing is after completely installing everything the first boot as per the neatrom v 5.7 aurthor should be around 10 min but for me it jus shows the neat rom animation screen again and again and the phone jus keeps getting hot from the back i cant seem to get into the main screen well looks like i m done for i guess
the steps i followed for the neat rom v 5.7 (4.1.2) instalation are
1-copied both the neat rom v 2.8(4.4.2) and v 5.7(4.1.2) zip files ,gapps (AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.2.1), philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100,zip ,CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100,zip files to the sd card
2- flashed odin v 3.09 with file PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9.tar,md5 and got philz recovery installed
3- then installed philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100,zip from sd card to update philz touch recovery to 6.04.5( it shows the 6.04.5 after updating)
4- the wiped system clean for new rom installation, wiped cache, wiped delvik cache form advanced settings, formatted /system &/preloads from mounts and storage
5- installed the neat rom v5.7 (4.1.2)and it installed everything
but at the first reboot it jus keeps flashing the neat rom circle animation and that it jus keeps flashing that again an again i waited for like 25 min on that screen and then felt the phone heaating up from the battery back side on my hand so i switched it off completely
i dont know wat steps i did wrong or did i miss something i kept reading through all the various post and cant seem to get a solution for it
is the philz touch recovery 6.15.4 compatible for the galaxy s2 gt i9100
plz if there any solution for the problem i m facing plz i need some advice

Flash the lastest 6.14.4 from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100
and try again after wipe (you're doing anything as should).
Few questions:
Does Neatrom installation log mention any errors while installing?
Maybe you should try to disable neat's boot animation (possible as part of the aroma install)
Are you trying to install this version: http://goo.gl/qRDYgf ?
If still no go, describe your actions at aroma installer, or try asking at rom's thread, perhaps they'll better aswers.
BTW- does kitkat version work as should?

First of all, Ive searched regarding this error a lot and am hoping someone can clarify.
I "mistakenly" updated to the stock kitkat 4.4.2 that was released for the Galaxy s4 recently and after realising how crap it was, i installed a recovery manager and loaded on the Google play edition rom by Danvdh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
The rom works great and for the most part my phone works. But every now and then randomly it reboots and then will show Kernel is not seeandroid enforcing. Im assuming the error is due to the fact that I installed stock kitkat.
Am I able to circumvent this error by installing a different kernel? and Is the error related to the random bootloops?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Generally you must flash the same kernal which has come with the installation ZIP, Please check if you are using a different kernal and the ROM.
This happened with me , as i was using a CWM nightly Kernal with a PAC ROM, which didnt worked for me.
It worked when i got a Kernal build by the PAC itself.
Hope this might answer your query

Well I havent changed anything yet. I am using the same kernel that came with the Google play rom that I installed.
Hi everyone, please delete if this has been posted elsewhere, I didn't find a similar thread nearby.
I've been happy with cm10.1.2 on my Verizon S3 for a while but am looking to update to cm11 m6. Noticed a couple things and had a few questions if you folks would be kind enough to oblige.
1. Cyanogenmod's built in updater (update types set to "All versions [incl. Nightlies]) only shows me cm10.x stable releases and cm11 nightlies up through february, no cm11 milestones before or since. Is this because of the consolidation of all S3s into the new "d2lte" device category?
2. If so, do I then just update TWRP, download cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-d2lte.zip, and flash away? Is it ok to do a dirty flash from cm10 to cm11 or do I have to do a full wipe (would prefer not to if at all possible)?
Sorry if these are noob questions - I only got into custom roms because I hate Touchwiz *that* much and have only been really learning on an as-needed basis, so I tend to approach new releases with caution. Thanks in advance!

I couldn't tell you why the M6 doesn't show up on the updater (but that's a good idea as to why), but as to the second question.. do a Nandroid backup, then update the TWRP, then wipe, then flash the rom, the gapps then wipe again for fun. Don't do that dirty.. 10.x to 11 would be a bad thing if done without wipe.

Thanks! Everything went off without a hitch.
Hey guys,
since I didn'T find anything on this topic I'm going to ask you.
Currently I'm using the s4 version of the htc one s (ville), running on CM 10.2.
Everytime I try to install a KitKat rom, doesn't matter if it's CM, PA, Carbon-rom... my phone gets stuck on a bootloop.
Any ideas why that is?? HAven't really read that this is a common problem.
Thanks for your help ;D
And yes I did fully wipe the phone before I installed the new rom, since that's a common issue on the nexus 4

Sounds like you're using a outdated custom recovery. Flashing latest TWRP should solve your problem.
TWRP 2.8.0.1
thx for your help i will definitly try it i'll post my result
...
i just tried it with the recources i had but couldn't do a full wipe since i had no backup but as far as I know that doesn't cause the problem of a bootloop? so still have bootloop with updated TWRP
Same goes for the full wipe still set on a bootloop
