Installation Instructions

NOTE: If you repartitioned your phone using a pit file, its recommended that you flash back the original unmodified pit to take full advantage of the increased space.

Latest official TWRP recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61591064&postcount=1276
Virtual Partition TWRP recovery
TWRP 3.0.2: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668276543

From another non-virtual partitioned ROM:
  1. Make sure you have the latest OFFICIAL TWRP installed.
  2. Backup current ROM if desired
  3. Back up EVERYTHING on your internal SD card to your computer (the internal SD card WILL BE ERASED in the next step).
  4. In TWRP, go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> check Internal Storage -> press on "Repair or Change File System" -> press on "Change File System" -> press on "EXT4", and then swipe to start formatting the internal SD card. This can take up to a minute.
  5. Wipe Data, Cache and System.
  6. Copy the newest version of my TWRP recovery to your device and flash it.
  7. After that is finished, go back to the main menu, then go to Reboot and press on Recovery.
  8. Once the device has rebooted back into TWRP recovery, goto mount then uncheck and recheck data.
  9. Copy and flash the new ROM and your GApps package to your device and flash
  10. Reboot system
  11. Connect your phone to your computer and copy back your backed-up internal SD card data to the internal SD card.
  12. Repartitioning is completed. Enjoy your 8GB of additional app storage space.

From CM12.1 or another virtual partitioned ROM:
  1. Factory reset (to avoid problems)
  2. Flash ROM and GApps

Updating to a newer version:
  • Just flash ROM and reboot.

It only took me 5 years for my first CM rom, thanks.

I'm using it sans SIM, too.

I had a few issues with TWRP, but I pushed through...

My Herc's capacitive buttons have gone to crap, but the onscreen nav buttons work great.

I'm still learning 6.0 M, so thanks again for the upgrade.

So coming from Paranoid Android 5.1 which is stable as can be, is this ROM stable? Like with the RIL, that is what I'm most concerned about. Anyone had any problems with it? Also, once I virtually partition my memory will I still be able to install other ROMs that don't require virtually partition ROMs? Thanks!

Is stable, been using this since yesterday and everything seems to be working, bit when you recieve a call the phone reboots, Data is working and SMS to.
You cant install non-virtually partitioned ROMs, the process to undo this is installing Oficial TWRP and re-formatting everything but Ext SD Card, that worked for me.

Not trying to he pushy or anything, if I am sorry :p but how long should this take? I am going to be using this ROM when I get the chance to install, probably tommorow, but if it is going to be updated should I wait, or will the update take awhile?
to be honest i tought skyrocket or hercules would not get M i was wrong but then again it looks just like lillipop.. am glad there are developers that continue to bring life to the s2. i just recently got me a lg g2 and they lack on developers.. not a lot of support for that device.. does it feel a difference? what about battery?

New build is up. The issue with receiving calls should be resolved
Receiving calls has been fixed but now not able to make calls
When trying to make calls, get a "Mobile Network Not Available" error. the network signal in status bar goes blank and then re-appears after a few seconds
plus when receiving calls, the name of the person who calls doesn't appear, just the number. shows up as Unknown in recent calls.
Also not able to choose preferred network type in mobile network settings
Logs attached

GPS is working, got a fix fairly quickely

what Gapps should i use, the 5.1 or the 6.0 :confused:
6.0. I recommend the micro, nano, or pico Gapps. The Aroma package would also work. That way, you get to choose which Gapps you install. The only problem with that can be it is a bigger package and therefore takes longer to download. Also, Cyanogen recently released Capps that has the Cyanogen OS system apps (not including Gapps). I flashed the micro Gapps and the Capps and everything is fine for me (except cell, which I haven't tested.)

Have a great evening!
