Apparently the three dot triangle is missing from the build from homescreen
Taking some screenshots from https://www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/3srr6c/remove_google_search_bar_in_the_home_screens/
Currently version 6.0.1 from first page here looks like this http://i.imgur.com/f8Xl1tF.jpg

It is supposed to look like these two below:

Reason = I can't remove the ugle google square on top left corner without it.

There is one minor bug with wifi frequency band selection.
If I select 5Ghz only, no 5ghz band wifi network can be detected. Selecting 2.4Ghz works just fine.
To restore 5ghz detection again, I need to select automatic band frequency and do a full reboot.

EDIT: Question, why is 'Low RAM configuration' or Low_RAM flag not used?
EDIT: How to change SELinux to 'Enforcing'?

Great job!

I know this is a bit late, but I found my old sgs2 in the store room and checked if it is still working.. Guess what? YEP!
I did not pay attention and did not see the isorec twrp and gave up whenever cyanogen recovery was replaced back.
Also the 2.8.7.0 twrp tar for odin is redirecting to the recovery flashable zip. Anyways as i've found the isorec method now i'm gonna blast this phone with customisations on lineage MM. quick question, do you by chance have the miui v5.7.3 for i9100g file? the androidfilehost file seems to be corrupted. Thanks a ton!!

Hello
Thanks a lot, I used since a long time this ROM. I would like to update it with the new version of Lineagos (17?, 18???). I didn't found any official/unofficial ROM. Therefore I want to try to build it. I read some article on Lineageos. This would be possible if I would have the tree/Kernel of this device (i9100g). Can you help me how I can found/generate it ?
Thanks a lot for any help and purpose.
Best regard
Guillaume.

    Not supported:
    • Manual selection of network carrier is not supported -> use automatic network search
    • Snap camera supports picture and video recording. Panorama mode is not supported (but working with some other camera apps). Digital zoom is not supported.
    • Some display features are not supported, for example 'night mode'

    Problems and/or not working:
    • Sound distortions with some codecs and sample rates. In some situations or with some codecs, sound/ringtones etc. sounds like with some kind of electronical effect. -> try different equalizer settings or use cm12.1, if audio quality is not accectable for you
    • GPS does not find enough satellites to get a location fix -> use cm-12.1 if you need this feature. This bug could be solved by replacing proprietary libstlport.so with opensource external libstlport.so, but this breaks simcard detection.

    When you found a bug/error/problem, post a logcat with description. Postings without these informations are likely to be ignored.

    FAQ/Solutions:
    • Root: To get root access, download su-arm-i9100g.zip and flash with twrp. Then go to settings/about phone and touch build-number seven (7) times. This will activate developer settings. Then go to settings/developer settings/root access and set it to apps only or apps and adb.
    • Recovery: LineageOS 13.0 comes with Cyanogen Recovery by default. But this rom supports booting IsoRec TWRP recovery. If recovery is not working, enter 'download mode' and flash a new recovery via odin, for example TWRP 2.8.7.0.
    • Bluetooth connections to headsets, speakers -> When you have connection problems try to disable battery optimisations for your audio app: go to settings/battery, select menu on top right and choose 'optimisation', in dropdown menu choose 'all applications' and select your music player app (for example cyanogenmod eleven), select 'not to optizime'. Reboot after you set this option.
    • Android security patch level: Google releases monthly security updates. Security bulletin is split into different security patch levels. Relevant for i9100g lineage 13 is only first part of this bulletin, for example patch level 2017-05-01, with changes in aosp source code. These issues gets fixed with an updated lineage 13.0 rom. Other issues mentioned in drivers and kernel are device specific. We could be affected by this errors or similar bugs, but only manufactor of this hardware could update (driver) binaries (and they don't care about old devices). The same with kernel bugs, i9100g kernel could be affected by this errors too, but there are no active kernel developers for this device and so these problems will often stay unfixed.
    • Galery app: If galery app does not display all your albums/pictures/video for example of your sdcard: Open file explorer and search for a file '.nomedia' on your sdcard root/picture/video folder. If it's there, delete it. It tells android not to index this folder. Then make a new folder on your sdcard, for example 'media'. Move your pictures/videos/music to your new media folder. Mediascanner will scan these files automatically now and they should be visible in gallery app.

    Optimisations:
    • Low app space: If you are low on app data storage, think about repartitioning your phone storage. 4 or 6 gb should be sufficient even for many apps. Follow instructions in this thread. Alternatively use Lanchon Repit Tool.
    • Battery: Display and data connections/syncing use most energy. I suggest to reduce display brightness to a minimum or switch off adaptive brightness. Also switch off background data connections/syncing for apps you don't use or which will be updated when you really use it.
    • After first flash give phone some extra time to complete all tasks, even when it's reacting already to your inputs, it's working hard. Wait some minutes. It's also a good idea to do another reboot after some time. This solved some problems in the past.
    • Force closes: If you are experiencing force closes try first to clean cache/dalvik cache in recovery. If it's still not working, go to settings/apps, find the offending app and clear data. Still no solution? Then do a clean flash with factory reset and re-install apps without importing backups.
