Hi, I have this ROM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQvrEH74dgI, my question is how to install the google apps (2nd link). Thanks.
Boot into recovery (power on holding the Power and Volume Down button) and in the recovery screen, select "install zip from sd".
Select internal or external storage/sd and browse to the file, select it with the power button. It'll do its thing and after, I would clean the dalvik cache and reboot.
I assume you've got a custom recovery already installed, since you've got the custom rom already installed.
I did this
Before proceeding, please keep in mind that your handset will be wiped clean of all data so make a backup of your data. Also, the steps below require your handset to be rooted with a custom recovery installed. If your handset is not rooted, I’d recommend you not to flash this ROM since its not meant for amateurs.
Step 1: Download CM9 Alpha 4 for Epic 4G from here or here. Also download the supplementary Google Apps package from here.
Step 2: Boot into CWM Recovery, and select the ‘Wipe data/Factory Reset’ option. Then navigate to Mounts and Storage and select the ‘format /system’ option.
Step 3: After you have formatted all the partitions on your Epic 4G, select the ‘install zip from SD card’ option, and then select the CM9 Alpha 4 zip file. Once the CM9 file has been flashed, again select the ‘install zip from SD card’ option, and this time select the Google Apps zip file package.
When the flashing process is complete, simply reboot your phone and wait for it to boot into CM9. Keep in mind that the first boot might take sometime, so please be patient.
Do NOT restore your app data backup. Doing so can lead to instabilities, and other issues. Also, please don't complain about feature X or Y not working. The ROM is in Alpha for a particular reason.

My phone got stucked ! It stucks at the staring window, and doesnt want to load

DISCLAIMER!!!
THIS TUTORIAL IS INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FLASHED THE LATAM GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 VERSION WHICH ARE R01 AND R02, SUCH AS RETAIL LATAM, PERSONAL, CLARO, MOVISTAR AND VIVO
If you come from a different firmware this tutorial may not be entirely useful because the root method may vary and if you come from froyo you may need to use CH version for CM9, and flash a GB kernel for CM10... but that's not the point of this thread, go to the ROM's thread and READ the OP before asking dumb questions!

If your signal is not working try installing the MS2Toolbox (see attachments or http://www.mediafire.com/?k3h8vpcj6b2it0e) and then go to Baseband Switcher and choose your right band and then reboot, you might need to try more than once, but this tool will get your signal up

:good::good: good, and now, i am on cm9:good::good:
THANKS! It was really helpful as I find it a bit difficult to install a custom ROM after getting root following nicofff procedure. Don't know why, but installing a zip the usual way didn't work. Then I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm.
Thanks that was almost too easy
I was already rooted before but did not dare the Cyanomod mainly to their alpha (still?) status, but when I heard about the feature that volume rocking allows skipping to the next song, I knew that I was doomed !
EDIT: BTW found it very stable after 1 day of extensive trial. I am really impressed !
Love this :good::good::good:
Hi,
first of all, thanks for this howto!
I am however getting problems. Coming from Brazilian VIVO 2.3.6. I succesfully completed all steps, until I get to rebooting after installing the bootmenu file. When I do a normal reboot, my phone's just rebooting into VIVO. When I choose to reboot recovery then I get an triangle image. When I push both volume rockers, I'm getting in another recovery menu. When I apply CM9 update, it will not verify.. That is where I'm stuck. Am I doing something wrong here?
SOLVED:
When you've installed bootmenu 1.1.0, it is possible that it does not load the first reboot. Just let it reboot normally, than reboot again! Now it worked!
thanks!
This is great! :good:
Few days ago I was looking for something like this but just can't find.
I experimented myself and got CM9 working on my phone.
(Took quite a lot of time waiting booting)
Thank god i did not brick my phone.
This will be great helpful to those who would like to try CM9.
Quick question - does this work with UK stock kernel?
Or does this require a specific kernel.
(How do I check?)

To update CMx roms from another version of the same branch (ie : a 7 to a 7, a 9 to a 9 and so on) you only need to :
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe battery stats (optional, it's just to get more accurate battery duration)

I haven't had any problems with latest ICS gapps, are you sure you flashed ICS gapps? Anyway you should always do at least wipe cache and dalvik cache, it's best if you do full wipes AFTER flashing gapps
Swype keyboard is not included in CM9... you can get it from beta.swype.com

You must be on Froyo... because tezet's CM7 doesn't work on gingerbread, so if you want to try CM9 you must use Chinese version
In this case, can I follow the 1st post tuto ?

Before you begin:
Install USB drivers for your device if you don’t have them installed already.
Backup your data, contacts and messages as you will lose it during the process.
Enable USB Debugging on your device
Step 1: Download required files:
CyanogenMod 10.1 4.2.2 Galaxy S ROM: cm-10.1-20130216-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip
Google Apps Package: GApps for CyanogenMod ROM
Step 2: Copy both the downloaded files on to the root of your device SD card.
Step 3: Disconnect your phone from PC and switch it off.
Step 4: Boot your Galaxy S in CWM recovery mode. Press & hold Volume Down + Power buttons till the screen flashes then select “Recovery” option to boot into CWM recovery mode.
Step 5: Take a backup of your current ROM.
From Recovery screen, select “Backup and Restore”
Now select “Backup” to start the backup process.
Now navigate back to main recovery screen.
Step 6: Select “wipe data/factory reset” option. When it asks for confirmation, select “Yes” to confirm data wipe process.
Step 7: From main recovery screen, do the following:
Select option “install zip from sdcard”
Then select “choose zip from sdcard”
Select the ROM zip file
Tap on “Yes” to confirm and begin installation
Step 8: After installation is complete, repeat step 7 and select the GApps zip file (instead of ROM file) to install Google Apps package.
Step 9: Now navigate back to main recovery screen and select “reboot system now” option to reboot your device.
That’s it. Your device will now reboot and will now have CM 10.1 Android 4.2.2 on I9000 Galaxy S.

Hello Xda Devs. I'm really new to android phones (I just switched from windows phone lately to try on low end android phone first). Since I heard that rooting are pretty awesome, I tried to root my phone by following these steps that I found over the net.
"This stage will be done on your phone so, switch your PC off.
1) Open Settings, go to Applications then Development and check USB Debugging.
2) Now reboot your phone and press VOL Up + Home + Power together during the booting.
3) The Recovery Mode will be opened. If you do not see the recovery mode then try the method no. 2 again.
4) In recovery mode use the Vol Up and Down buttons to navigate and the Home button to select.
5) Now select “Install Zip from SD card.”
6) Then select “Choose Zip from SD card” and find out and select the Zip previously downloaded.
7) The download process will start and will take more than 10 minutes.
8) After the completion of the update follow the next steps on recovery mode.
9) Then select “Wipe Data/Factory Reset”.
10) Now enable “Wipe Cache Partition”.
11) After that select “++++Go Back++++”
12) Reboot the phone and you shall get it rooted. "
I skipped Step 9 to 11. [Note: I didn't wipe out any data to prevent any data loss through the process). I followed the steps and managed to root my phone.
Then, I tried to download ICS for my SGY by following steps on another blog to change my phone to ICS. The steps given are :
"Process to Download Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 for Galaxy Y
Download Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 from here.
-Transfer this file to your Samsung Galaxy Y. It can be done by connecting device with computer via USB cable.
-If you are done with above, then next step is to boot your device to Recovery Mode. It can be done by pressing Volume Up +Volume Down + Power buttons together. Soon, an Android logo will surface on your device’s screen. This is the proof that you are in the Recovery Mode.
-Now navigate to the option that reads “install zip from SD card”. Don’t know how to navigate? Use Volume Keys!
-In the list that comes up, select the ROM file that you downloaded in the first step.
-Confirm the installation, and then wait for it to get finished.
-Go to main menu and select ‘reboot system now’.
-Your Samsung Galaxy Y will restart now. "
So far so good, then when it restart, my phone stuck on the animation mode. (Cynogenmod 9 animation).
Other than what I mention above, I did not install anything else and now I'm really confused. I'll attach a picture of the animation that I said. Please help. Thanks.
Before installing any custom rom u should always wipe data.

That is why it is said be sure that u did everything rite
Things u can do now
1-Flash Stock rom via odin,it will make ur phone as a fresh newly bought phone (browse for odin flash guide and stock firmware for galaxy y)
2-the easiest thing-Flash CM9 kernel I.e white kernel via odin.....and then ics will surely boot on ur sgy
^ is of no use bcoz ics cm9 has got many bugs its yet to be stable
Phew! That was a long explaination........
I need cookies now....I am hungry.....

Well, I know there are lot of helpful guides out there on how to install cyanogenmod but not everybody gets what he's looking for. I recently searched a lot of sites, forums, and lot of xda posts for installing cyanogenmod 11 M7. And i finally found few posts that helped me.
With these posts one can get an idea about how to flash a kernel, how to back up the data, and how to flash a custom ROM on a S2. Pretty helpful...isn't it? All thanks to these guys - @avirk , @-Grift- @banjara @Vivek_Neel @Phil3759 .
The steps might fit correct for some.. where there might be some variations for others. I myself didn't find some steps from the guide i followed while backing up my data. But still.. i went for it. And it was good enuf.
So here are the steps that i followed... n i think which might help some one like me out there.
First of all. as they say.. If anything goes wrong. I'm not responsible. If everything goes right.. well..Thank you then.

23) Select the Gapps .zip file.
24) Reboot to OS.
And you're done!
Where are /format system and /format preload??? If you are on 4.1.2 stock you need to do a full wipe.
Flash latest philz kernel in stock recovery, then reboot into recovery again(hold 3 buttons) and flash latest Philz CWM Touch recovery(6.0.4.8!). Then do a full wipe and flash a custom rom and gapps.

I Agree with Zile.
I installed Cyano with similar steps and I finished with an useless phone with system partition full.
format system and preload are mandatory moving from stock to cyano in my opinion.

What happened with me was.. i didn't find the preload thing while making my backup.
So i missed some steps from the guide which i followed. I'll be trying it again when cm11 m8 will be out.
May be that time i can find the preload section.

Well, I know there are lot of helpful guides out there on how to install cyanogenmod but not everybody gets what he's looking for. I recently searched a lot of sites, forums, and lot of xda posts for installing cyanogenmod 11 M7. And i finally found few posts that helped me.
With these posts one can get an idea about how to flash a kernel, how to back up the data, and how to flash a custom ROM on a S2. Pretty helpful...isn't it? All thanks to these guys - @avirk , @-Grift- @banjara @Vivek_Neel @Phil3759 .
The steps might fit correct for some.. where there might be some variations for others. I myself didn't find some steps from the guide i followed while backing up my data. But still.. i went for it. And it was good enuf.
So here are the steps that i followed... n i think which might help some one like me out there.
First of all. as they say.. If anything goes wrong. I'm not responsible. If everything goes right.. well..Thank you then.

I left the choice to the readers.
Anyways... You can find gapps in the following threads :

And you might find some links on google search too.
Just be sure you download the gapps for Kitkat 4.4.x. This will avoid problems
Go ahead and take your pick

You can link your above post for the link to the GApps section in the OP, then you'll not get other questions as to the link for GApps.... Also, as said by @Zile995, it is better if you include formatting system and preload too in your guide as not doing so may cause issues and doing so is the best way to full wipe your system for fresh flashing without issues...
And yes...Great work.... :good:

Can I boot into system after installing 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 and later install new rom?
Would any of you guys be able to help me (a rookie when it comes to this) with these Q's in my thread about CyanogenMod?
This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/stock-rom-to-cyanogenmod-import-sms-t2903491
Btw, isn't it easiest to acquire CyanogenMod by using the CyanogenMod Installler for the i9100?

Never had this problem bud. I installed M9 in the same way but google process failures were never encountered.
I'm afraid i might not be of any use here but would suggest one thing that stick to 10.1 till u find an answer to this.
And regarding your problem..... These guys( @avirk , @banjara , @-Grift- , @Vivek_Neel , @Phil3759 ) might be able to help you out. They helped me too.

I guess it should be ok to boot into the system because you'd be installing the recovery and if the recovery is compatible with the ROM and won't give any problem then you can. But still.. always take a second opinion before you try because... even I'm a learner.
