Need stable CM rom. Please answer my question. thanks - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, i'm waiting for a fully cm rom for my grand 2 since a very long time. Please tell a bug free cm rom and paste the link and all detailed and necessary processes like i'm using G4 thailand version 4.3 jb. How to flash cm? what is the requiremeents? should i have to upgrade my official rom version to kitkat first before flashing? and most importantly, should i go for cm rom or stay at jelly bean?
Please comment with good details.
thanks.

Luckily one of the stable cm rom is cm12.1 rom and you need to root and install a custom recovery to enable to flash the rom. Just look at the developement thread to clarify this..

earlier my firmware was:-
Model- Grand 2 SM-G7102
Version- Android 4.4.2
Changelist 3250544
Build date- 13/02/2015
Product code- INU
PDA- G7102DDUBOB1
CSC- G7102DDUBOB1
but,
I flashed the rom cm 12.1 provided by mukulsoni. Earlier when i was on official stock rom then my phone's wifi mac address was E4:12:1D:E5:52E. but after flashing the cm 12.1 rom, it changes to 00:0a:f5:01:03:24.
As i'm registered with my original mac address to my university's wifi, i'm not able to access it (because now my phone shows different mac address).
So, i tried a method to change my mac address by editing it in 2 files via ESexplorer. But when i opened the 2 files to change the desired mac address, it shows me my original wifi mac address written there.
This amazed me that there in 2 files, its my original mac address written but in the SETTING, it shows different mac address. SO, what's the catch? What should i do?
So. please tell me how to restore it back my original mac address.?
2nd problem is:-
my DATE and TIME changes to 1 Jan 2014 and differt time on every boot. I ticked time to be changed by network. I watched videos and try to replace my time_daemon file form folder SYSTEM>BIN with another one but that too didnt work.
how do i fix this time issue?????
plz help.

Try to backup your wifi settings and the other settings that you want with Titanium backup & restore them right after you've flash a new ROM. This work for me everytime I flash new ROM.

Need Help
Hi,
I installed your firmware.
Problems:
1)While using bluetooth handsfree, after the call ends, iam getting FC error - process.com.android.phone has stopped...
2)2/3 times the phone hangs.Need to take battery out.
3)2/3 times screen goes black,hangs and rebooted.
Solution Tried:
Installed FC fix for XXJVU. Now the phone FC problem didn't come.
But the battery drains very very fast.
Pls help me with a solution.
Thanks.
plz remove the S+ prefix in the name of the thread coz it's confusing, an S+ (i9001) member might flash it and brick his device.

ICS CM9 IS still in (early) development and You expect it to be perfectly working? LOL Only thing not working there for me are MMS so looks like u flashed in wrong way? I recorded video just last night,USB works fine(u need diffrent drivers) and YT does the job. Anyway YES this one is stock+root as title says. 3 files to flash with ODIN
Looking at your phone model, you are in the wrong forum.
This is only for GT-I9000 aka Galaxy S
Yours is GT-I9100, which is Galaxy S2
So please check it on Galaxy S2 area.

[Modems] Modem files for CWM and Odin

Hello friends,
as some of you will know, modem is that part of rom which is responsible for network communications. When people install custom roms, they are stuck on the modems which are included in the roms and i've seen many people asking how to change the modem to their locale. Below is the list of some modem files. I'll try to update the list as much as I can. Instructions on how to install will also follow soon.
Post 1- List of Modem files by country, version number and release date. You can decide what modem is best for you.
Post 2- Links of CWM flashable modem files.
Post 3- Links of Odin flashable modem files.
Post 4- Instructions on how to flash (both CWM and Odin)

I'm trying to CWM flash DDJV7 on my old I9000 after a clean install of the latest CM11 snapshot & it failed, though the status was 0.
Just wanted to know if it's compatible with this CM version before I try to mess more with it?
If it is compatible, I'll try & capture a log of the failure next time I try it.
Current baseband is XXJVT which is the default from that ROM but I'm facing call drop & disconnection issues on long calls with this modem.
Wanted to try out DDJV7 since that was the last that Samsung provided for India on the I9000.
Understand that this is a very old thread but my issue is relevant to this thread to trying here 1st.
Thanks!
No, these files are old and were meant for cm 9, etc. CM11 is quiet different.

It worked! I dirty-flashed the .zip & it installed successfully.
The immediate change I observed was the stable full signal bars with signal fluctuations around -75dBm (screenshots attached).
With XXJVT the signal used to fluctuate a lot & around 85 - 90 dBm, sometimes remaining above -100 dBm.
So prima facie it looks like a definite improvement in the past 2 days. Will keep observing & report back in the next 3 - 4 weeks including call quality & battery performance (not much info available about DDJV7 it seems).
Also planning to do a clean install of everything this week (hopefully) & see how it goes (with a "de-bloated" CM11).

An advice, make Full Backup of current ROM/Firmware before doing anything with device you are willing/thinking to try.
I'm using Huawei Ascend y511. so can't do that, but i believe "CN" stands for Chinese and "EN" sure for English. regarding recovery language, for me i get two different modes, recovery and factory setting i believe. Stock recovery for my mobile is in English and the other is Chinese. But, in case you get chinese recovery, i think it can be replaced with "Custom Recovery (English)".
Once Stock/Custom ROM is installed/flashed, you sure can change language option to English or Chinese as mentioned about ROM languages (Not for recovery).
Point is that; once ROM is installed/flashed & you are satisfied with it and you also got backup of current Kitkat ROM and you find recovery is in CN. You can restore ROM to Kitkat or in case you don't care about warranty and can flash/install Custom recovery(English language) without going into CN recovery. then i think it shouldn't be a problem.
this rom work fine with my device

Network location in Android 7.1.2 [tasker]

I tried now lineage, xenon hd and resurrection. In every 7.1.2 ROM I am unable to get the network based location.
Unfortunately the only way I I know to read this battery saving location is by using tasker(which need to work for me)
Google maps is working without GPS. But I think just because near WiFi.
Can anyone check to read the network based location with tasker in a 7.1.2. ROM?
I already checked my APN settings,my sim card and the android right policies for tasker.... No luck at all
It seems that you have similar problem like me and others:
"Network Location Provider" doesn't work with up-to-date Google Play Services
Location not correct when indoors
Thanks for the links. And indeed, it seems like the same problem.
What surprises me is that this bug dont appeal to this community here. For me it is an important feature of google service which we cant use with our OP2.
Furthermore i dont understand why this bug seems to be a bug according to our device.
For me it is ja software bug with no relation to our hardware?
I hope this error gets more pushed soon

For me, this is also a big problem, because I often need to see geotags in my picture where I made this or that photo. But geotags are not recorded in photos, but if they are recorded, then only one place even if I have already passed 2 kilometers.
There are two solutions - to put Google-camera, but there is very dark video in case of insufficient illumination, the second - to put another ROM. I tried almost all the firmware and only two did not have problems:
Resurrection Remix M [5.7.4]
LineageOS 13.0
But one more problem because of which I will soon change my OP2 is a poor autonomy.

Thanks. As far as i know the 3.6.0 updates is based on Android 6.0.1. and therefore no android 7.1.x
However you are right, it seems to be the only fix for now. No Android 7 With this feature.
I am just wondering why

Xperia Neo V - Some Questions - Please Answer - Posted here as no one is answering in

Posted here as no one is answering in Original Sub Forum ,
Hello , I am a Noob ,
I have a few questions ,
My Device
Xperia Neo V
MT11i
Android Version:
2.3.4
Build:
4.0.2.A.0.62
Kernel:
2.6.32.9.-perf ....... [did not write the entire thing]
I never updated it ,
Now , I want
1.Make a Complete Recoverable Backup of my Current OS (2.3.4)
backup my original firmware , and stock OS . So that if in future i want to go back to it , i can just use that to go back . (i hope i am able to make you guys understand)
As far as my knowledge goes , i should need TWRP Recovery , or CWM Recovery or something similar . Correct me if i am wrong .
2.Unlock the Boot-loader and Root it.
3.Install Last Officially available update , Manually and Try it out
Which is the last officially updated version available ?
4.If i Like it then OK , if not then
i will Install other Custom ROMs or CM13
Q1. i heard that Many Custom ROMs dont have FM and Camera Functions ?
Which Custom ROM has all the functionality as the Stock One ?
and is based on most updated version of android ?
5.KERNEL.
I just CANT understand this one , please help me understand it
Does any of the above need the kernel to be replaced ? by some other kernel ?
I dont have much knowledge of kernel
...................................
Other Questions:
1.Why we are Flashing both .562 kernel .587 kernel one by one ?
Shouldn't we need only one ?
2. Can i update to Latest ICS via PC Companion and then root it ?
Will it affect anything ?
3.
Quote:
Disadvantages
1. Warranty is void..gone.. ---------- No Problem
2. You cannot update using PCC or SUES( if you try them..then u'll get a message saying that the software is modified and it wont proceed) ---------- No Problem since no update will come in future
3. No more DRM(Digital Rights Management)..things like Trackid, music like..etc - I like TrackID , but TrackID works with any mobile isnt it ? so what will change ? in Track ID ?
And which Custom ROMs require Unlocked Bootloader ?
Does CM Require it ?
Please help how can i do these and please educate me about kernel too .
P.S.
I tried posting this before in the [NEO/V/L Q and A THREAD]HELP THREAD (N00B friendly) Thread but No One Replied
Very Sorry i posted it here
i already tried the other place
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...nswer-t3658062
I (still) own three of these phones: one MT11 and two MT15 models. They were good cheap phones. Sony is my favourite. Highly customizable. The dedicated forums are still available I think. The problem is that these phones don't have the ability to run modern applications. All the developers have moved on. If you don't need it as a daily use phone, it would be good to use it as a learning tool for flashing roms and skinning it. It takes a lot of time to read through all the posts. But the info is all there. Maybe someone will answer your questions sooner or later. Good luck with it.
U jst need to unlock ur bootloader and flash a custom kernel with recovey and flash ur desired rom ( there r some good one life miui v5 etc and aosp developement was prety good too at its time)
If u can manage to find the ftf files of orignal stock roms 2.3 & 4.04 u dont need to worry about any backup u can always roll backup to stock.
As far as my opinion go 2.3 is the best rom with good backup and smooth os battery suks on other roms.
Hope that answers ur questions
Currently my main problem is that the PC cant recognize the Mobile (Xperia Neo V)
the drivers that automatially got installed never gets installed without error and i still cant find out the reason , after a few tries now the dialogue box of installing drivers does not appear at all ,and the PC cant recognize my phone ,
Where can i get the best working drivers for Neo V ? (MT11i) ?
If any one of you have it please give a working set of drivers for PC Smartphone connectivity
and another odd thing that i noticed is that
the PC Companion that comes with the phone and gets installed when connected is
Basically as follows
Folders:
Languages - (28 Folders Inside)
Drivers - EMPTY
Graphics (2 Files - Graphics.zip, NewUI.zip)
Files:
Autorun.inf
Startme.exe
Is it same for you guys too ?
Why is the DRIVERS folder Blank ?
I think it should not be blank

There should be a drivers folder in the flashtool folder. Give THIS thread a read too as you're trying to run before you've even learned to walk.
