Status:
Android-Version: 5.1.1 (R37)
CyanogenMod-Version: 12.1
Security patch level: 01.11.2016
Kernel-Version: 3.0.31
SELinux-Status: Strikt

Standard functionalities are working. No known major errors or force closes. It's good for daily use.
Tested functions: Telefon, sms, wifi, data 2g/3g, camera, 3d-grafics, sensors, gps, compass, vpn, wifi hotspot, screencast, speaker, playstore.

Special features:
  • TWRP IsoRec: Booting TWRP from recovery partition
  • F2FS: Flash-friendly file system supported (sdcard, internal, cache)
  • Good standby times
  • Responsive, smooth gui
  • Last i9100g cm-12.1 rom which still gets updates (official cm-11.0 builds for i9100g ended 08/2016)

Changelog CyanogenMod:
CM12.1 changes

FAQ/Solutions:
  • Root: To enable root access, activate developer options and go to settings>developer options>root access and set it to 'apps only' or 'apps and adb'.
  • Recovery: Cyanogenmod 12.1 comes with Cyanogen Recovery by default. But this rom supports booting isorec twrp recovery. Flash twrp isorec recovery to recovery partition. Rom will use then twrp as prefered recovery and ignore default recovery. Follow flash instructions for i9100g isorec twrp recovery to install twrp isorec recovery. If your recovery is not working, enter 'download mode' and flash a new recovery via odin, for example TWRP 2.8.7.0.
  • GApps: If you have problems flashing gapps or force closing google play services, do a clean flash and use recommended Open GApps 20150821 or pa-gapps for android 5.1 from download link above.
  • Audio/Video synchronisation: Update to latest build and deactivate AudioFX when you experience audio not in sync with video

Optimisations:
  • Low app space: If you are low on app data storage, think about repartitioning your phone storage. 4 to 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 and 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 with recovery. If it's still not working, go to settings/apps, find the offending app and clear data. Still not the solution? Then do a clean flash with factory reset.

Known (minor) problems:
  • Activating flashlight with quicksetting-icon (-> use another flashlight app and (optionally) replace lockscreen app for quick access). Or upgrade to cm13.
  • Manual selection of phone network -> use automatic network selection

Changelog bugfixes:
  • 20150825: high cpu usage caused by 'system_server' process fixed
  • 20150826: home button fixed
  • 20150826: Auto rotation fixed
  • 20151108: Wifi Hotspot fixed
  • 20151115: Touchkey light fixed
  • 20151115: VPN fixed

for what it have a lof of bugs


Known problems/errors:
- home button not working as expected
- High cpu usage/battery drain caused by 'system_server' process
Did not find a reason for it. It's not active all the time. Sometimes, when it's inactive, telefon goes to deep sleep and all is normal. But when it's active, cpu state is at 1,2 GHz for long, long time, without stop. Who can debug/analyze this process or provide information how to fix it?

cpu state is at 1,2 GHz for long, long time, =not battery friendly

I changed keylayout and home-button is working now. Wakeup, close apps, app history. Thank you, Diatomix for this useful hint!

Auto-rotation is also working now.

Build of new ROM is in progress. I will upload it in some minutes.

Auto rotation is working here on any screen. I did a clean flash with wiping all data (system, data, internal, cache).

    Just a short update about cm13/android 6.01 progress for i9100g. :D

    I solved this bootloop problem, finally. Recovery is working. Rom is booting normally. GUI seems to be pretty fast.
    But it's still an alpha version. A lot of work to solve some issues.
