[ROM][4.2.2][JDQ39][03/06/2013] CM10.1 for SPH-D710VMUB

[neo_lithic3k]

I flashed the rom onto my Virgin Mobile Galaxy S2 and did notice the ring/notification volume being lower as stated - but tolerable. I originally could not get the vibrate to work but reflashed and it worked. Everything else seems to be working nicely!

This CM10 is so cool. Thank you Thank you. Quick question. How do i go about turning off the "Screen Off" animation?

TURN IT OFF?! Coming from OV's CM7, this lil animation was the one thing I missed the most. Really makes me feel at home again.

I came from an OV also. Even though it is a low spec phone I rather enjoyed it very much. I loved CM7.2 on it. This S2 is way better in every department but I do kinda miss the way my OV fit in my hand. I still carry it with me even though it doesn't have service.
Now as far as the S2 goes I haven't rooted or ROMed it yet. I want to get to know it before I go ahead and flash this ROM. That way I can see the differences. Its been about 4 days now since I got it as a gift from the wife. I think tomorrow I will give a go at root and flash this ROM. This phone is nice stock but I miss CM!!

Yeah my OV was perfect, but it was not enough space. Cm7 ran great my whole family had it. Me and my wife have S2 and my son has the MT. This phone is great lots of storage with my 16gb card. Go ahead and put FL14 jb on it, I did havent had mine 2 weeks. Amazing, Samsung is great. Have fun with it.

Sounds like this ROM is the best for the VM S2 right now. I will install it tomorrow.
What's the best way to root it. I like the way it was on the OV, I didn't even need my pc for anything. Root, install recovery, create 2nd partition on sd card from recovery,make backup, flash ROM, kernel, and gapps, reboot, install link2sd, tweak settings.... all without a pc.
I've only been reading the S2 forums for a couple days but if I understand correctly, in order to root I need to flash a rooted kernel
I'm going to double check before I do anything...

My S2 has fl26 on it (there was an update as soon as I turned it on).

Is fl26 better?

I found this as being the easiest way to root.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
After that you can install mobile Odin.. Which can basically flash everything.. Recovery and rom.. You don't even need a computer to do any of this.
This rom is 10 times better than stock..

Thanks for the help!

What bluetooth devices did you use? My Bluetooth ear piece doesn't work on mine.

Well I didn't use a bluetooth piece but it pairs with my laptop and other phones. That's what I meant by it 'works'.

Which recovery is best and where can I find a flashable zip of it?

B_randon14 says which recovery you should use in the op..

Either one will work.
The tar file can be flashed thru Mobile Odin

Any way to fix the Google Search at the top of the home screen?

I used this ROM for a bit, but ended up going back to the jellybean leak. Not sure why but my quadrant scores are about a 1000 points higher on the jellybean leaked ROM.

Quadrant scores are only good for "I got this as a quandrant score" bragging
I go by if the ROM "feels" right during real world usage and for me, this is the one I chose. To each his own I guess, but I've used roms that had high quandrant scores that I felt were laggy during normal day to day usage.

Anyone having problems with Gameloft games? If I remember right we did early on in CM7 for Motorola Triumph which was widespread on many different phones running CM7 2.3.4. Different CM same problem?

Exactly. I remember on my Optimus V I used to get higher quadrant scores than my friends Galaxy S but there was no comparison in how much smoother his phone ran than mine.

i installed framaroot and it seems like it successfully rooted my s2. whenever i try to use mobile odin it tells me that it isnt compatible with my device. wonder what im doing wrong.
it asks for root permission that i grant it then i get the error...

i guess i will borrow my daughters laptop (i dont run windows on my pc) and try with odin.

I've answered this question about five times in the past few weeks
To get Mobile Odin to recognize our phones (until the next update that is) you must edit the model number in the build.prop
You must change the model number line from SPH-D710VMUB to SPH-D710 and reboot. Mobile Odin will then recognize the phone as a supported device.

Current version mobile Odin doesn't work with this device unless you modify your build.prop and drop the "vmub" from the model # field.

Why won't my music play that is on my sdcard.

 

[pdrift]

dang it.. i modified build.prop and rebooted..... now stuck at galaxy s2 boot screen.

Maybe you modified the wrong thing.. Either way I think you can still get in download mode and use windows Odin to install rooted stock rom to get it working again

 

[pdrift]

i'll try that now....

 

[pdrift]

well im lost now...... these are the steps i have done:

i downloaded and installed framaroot

next i ran framaroot and rooted my device

then i installed mobile odin and tried to run it, but i got incompatible device warning

next i modified build.prop to trick mobile odin but it still didn't work

then rebooted and my phone got stuck at the galaxy s2 screen

then i used agats oneclick to flash tfl03 recovery.exe

now im stuck at the galaxy s2 screen with a yellow triangle.


i cant figure out how to use odin. i was having driver issues and odin wouldn't see my phone so i uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it. Now odin sees my phone but i cant figure out what to do...

what exactly do i need to do to get my phone to boot?
I have the triangle away app but i cant run it if it won't boot.
:banghead:

The triangle won't keep your phone from functioning. The triangle only is to show dealers and such that your phone has been modified so they can know whether to honor your warranty or not. The yellow triangle does not in any way hurt or hinder the performance of the phone or keep it from booting.

Now... if you can get your phone into download mode I would flash a OneClick rooted stock rom or something to get back to a starting place. Then proceed to flash the CM10 or whatever you were trying to do from there. Be very careful modifying build.prop as you can see one wrong deletion or modification can really cause some trouble
