So, I still have my s2. I'm unrooted and the sim card slot doesn't work anymore. Not many apps are compatible with my phone. What should I do? I want to make this secondary device useful once again.
I keep it in airplane mode with WiFi on. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Root it, flash a decent custom rom with a dsp manager/good audio settings program, a good audio player program,and turn it in to a gigantic mp3 player?
I dunno.

I'd root it, install AOSPA or FrostedCarbon Unofficial (both are KitKat.) All apps and games I want to install are compatible with it. What Android version is it running?

It's on 2.3.6 I think. it's terrible. When it was my daily driver I had it rooted with Jedi mind trick. I have been out of the loop since though.

If you want it to be a decent device, upgrade it to at least 4.0.4 (ota or Odin,) flash the latest TWRP through Odin, do a backup and a full wipe, flash ParonoidAndroid (and gapps if you want,) wipe cache and Dalvik and reboot. If everything went well and after you are done flashing/modding everything, you may delete the backup if it's taking up too much space. I usually hold on to mine, though.

Do what this guy says! If you're still on the stock ROM, you can easily update it to the official Jelly Bean release through Kies. After that, flash something like Paranoid Android, Cyanogenmod, SlimKat, etc. I took an old phone of mine, put a 16GB microSD in, installed Viper4Android audio, and used it as a Bluetooth/Car auxiliary device . You could also use it as a remote for things like Spotify or Roku, just search the play store for that.

I use it for Tapatalk, music player, email, and remote for XBMC. AOSPA supports App2Sd (which is really the other part of internal storage) so that you can install more apps. If your sim still worked, I'd replace the battery and install AOSPA in it and use it for a daily driver.

I would immediately root it. Because I've done it to my T-Mobile S2-Hercules long time ago and I've tried almost all of the custom ROMs/ Kernals that are out there.
I'm currently using S2 right now because I've lost my Galaxy S4. I've installed Paranoid Android 4.45 to my Galaxy S2-Hercules and believe me this ROM is by far the BEST, STABLE, and FAST. Recently, I've updated to Paranoid Android 4.5 BETA2. So far no major bugs except shooting a video.
As far as installing APPS goes, I've installed tons of apps/games, all of them are working and stable in S2. So far no issues.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to ROOT IT.
I would install a custom rom, especially if it isn't your main phone.
I'd use it for a music player.
Then for gags, I'd probably theme it to make it look like an iPod.

Hello Everyone, I'm proud to present you with a port of the Unofficial AOKP ROM for our T-Mobile Galaxy S4's. Most of the credit goes to garwynn in the Sprint S4 forum for getting this working in the first place, I just made the necessary changes to get it to boot and run on our phones. As far as I can tell, the ROM is working very nicely (haven't tested too much) but may be considered as a daily driver with further testing. Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement... ENJOY!

:victory: I just finished flashing, restoring apps and tweaking my settings now.
I checked out the browser so far. Lightning fast compared to stock.
I had to download a different google apps, the link the op provided didnt work for me so i used this one:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Also tried the camera, it works but it seemed slow. Could be because i have apps downloading in the play store when i tried it. i miss the HDR feature from the stock camera app. So i'll try camera zoom fx later to see if it fits my personal wants.
I'll test out what i can today. If someone wants to post a quick list of things I should check. I'll try and get to it today and post the results.
Oh i also have my mouse paired to it via bluetooth. so thats working too.
Thanks OP
Update: The sd card isnt mounting and i lost root access. So much for restoring using titanium backup. Think i might just try and restore my stock rooted back up and wait for the next release. With out the SD card, i dont feel like running this as a daily driver. I need my flac music. But thanks anyway.

Okay, so I can confirm that sd card is not being mounted. Also, root is not working from the get go. But uf you install super user from play store, then flaflak the superuser.zip provided in the details of the superuser app(by clockworkmod) ill attach it if you want to add to op for future users until it gets fixed.

Android 4.2.2 v6

Same setup - should work on T-MO.
Just an update about the new 4.3 GPe: External SD Card is readable when you plug it into your PC. The camera however still does not read the SD card. All else is still functioning.Version 4.3 will break root! All versions of SU currently do not work with 4.3. Just keep that in mind.
You can flash this over your current 4.2.2 Google Edition. If you're coming from TW, do a complete wipe, then flash. Thanks
____________________________________________________________________
No - I did not grab the system dump myself
Yes - I have tested this for the TMO variant and it's fully functioning
I did create a Youtube Video on how to install the Google Edition S4. Check it out!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmYpkJ27WAM
Althought it's not a ROM built from scratch or a project of any kind, it is a rom all in itself straight from the S4 GE
(Updated Link) - Thanks to luckyduck69 for posting a new mirror. Previous Link crashed XD.
If you're interested in the GE (VERSION 4.2.2), download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5nz662i2y826kwd/google-edition-bg.zip
As always, make a backup, wipe, then flash.

Was notified Root was not installed, told TWRP to install it for me.
So far, seems fine! I miss the "long press back to kill app" feature, but I can live without it as I play with this ROM.
Thanks for the link! After flashing this ROM will all software/firmware on the phone be identical to that on the GPe handset? Or are there any other bits that aren't contained in the ROM?
I'm wondering that too. This is stable? Wipe system/data/cache and flash?
I did a wipe flashed and then had to reboot to get WiFi

Not a problem. After flashing this direct port, I've noticed that my Model number changed to GT-I9505G, but my baseband remains the same (MDL), As it appears, everything is fully functioning from that of the GPe. To be clear, no errors, force closes, or mis-haps have occured.

I'm not sure wi-fi calling is known to work even on the real GPe, is it? I thought it might be specific to TMo/TW ROM somehow. I guess only GPe reviewers know at this point.
I was referring more to general wi-fi capability, I saw some guys saying that didn't work with the GPe system dump on TMo handset.

As the title states, this thread was created for the sole purpose of discussion on CM 10.2 nightlies.
Discuss bugs, ask questions, discuss apps, describe your experience and anything else.
TWRP 2.6.x is confirmed to work for these nightlies.
Cwm 6.0.3.6 is confirmed thanks to polarbe4r
To those new or unaware :
So yesterday as of August 13th, CM has been releasing nightlies for Android 4.3.x for our D2tmo. Go to get.cm and click on D2tmo to download them.
Please don't forget to download the latest GAPPS for 4.3.0 from goo.im/gapps and keep in mind the latest GAPPS function only on the latest 4.3.0 current release.
My experience with it so far : I've had very bad run ins with CM on the d2tmo personally in the past. Audio bugs, bad battery, random bootloops occasionally. I would however like to report the nightlies seem stable, smooth and decent on battery. So far with the exception of Focal the New camera app, I have not noticed a problem, luckily the 4.3 AOSP camera is included in. I recommend sticking to stock kernel for the time being. I tried a couple of third party kernels and had some restarts and graphic bugs. So please, if you have tested the nightlies yet, please leave some feedback for the user and the developers.
Please use the following GAPPS for these 10.2 night lies :

I'll hopefully have enough time this weekend to fiddle with my phone and try whatever nightly is up at the time. One thing I'll say right now is that I'll setup everything like I have it right now. Might lose a few mods I recently got but no big deal, all reversible. I hope there's no problems restoring from 4.3 to a 4.2.2 CWM backup.

You mean your backup is stored on an external SD card?
I had a screen of death while listening to play music and skipping a track with holding the volume up feature.
Dirty Upgraded from Nightly 8-13 to Nightly 8-14. Upgraded Gapps as well. FC'd for the first reboot on Phone (Dialer was not present from 8-13).
Used all day on Dirty Upgrade without issue after a few reboots. Play Store could not update any software and Helium could not take a backup.
Got home and Clean installed 8-14 and Gapps. Zero problems after install on typical applications. Rebooted for Google to Restore Apps from Backup. File Manager can not display /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/emulated/legacy after enabling root mode. Had to use /mnt/shell/emulated/0 and /mnt/shell/emulated/legacy (Yes I know they are the same location, but just for thoroughness I used both).
Using Terminal Emulator you are able to see that /storage/emulated/legacy exists, but /storage/emulated/0 does not.
Code:
su
cd /storage/emulated
ls -a

You know what, I'll flash it tonight, will test until weekend if anything goes bad for me, otherwise will stay on it.
Anyone having any issues with root access after first install. Can't seem to get mine to run.

This ROM is Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat, build KOT49H. The ROM is built directly from source, that is, the Android source code published by Google available for download to all of us developers. The reason I say the ROM is "OTA-like" is because I make VERY few modifications to it, aside from the things that it takes to get the ROM working. I'll go into detail about those things below, but basically I just want the ROM to make your phone feel stable and shiny and new as if it has just received a new OTA update. That being said, it's clear that the landscape of Nexus devices is changing as new ones are released. Therefore, the other primary goal of this ROM is to keep our Galaxy Nexus as close to the modern Nexus design as possible. This means that I will also add in features that will still be stock, but will also make our phones as close to a current Nexus as possible.
As for how I handle the forum side of things, I'm always open to comments, questions, suggestions, requests, etc. I know that most of those things will often be in the form of criticism, but it's okay, I think I can handle it That being said, I do also have a life and am a college student, so I may not get to come on here ALL the time. I will check back as frequently as possible, and I'm hoping that you guys will help each other out as much as possible! Keep it friendly! So now for the details...
Features
Stock Android 4.4.2, build KOT49H
Source (AOSP) built kernel (boot.img)
(De)Odexed
Easily rootable (see information below)
G-Apps (GMail, Play Store, etc.) included in build along with Nexus apps
Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
Shiny restart options - access them by holding down the power button and then long pressing on "Power Off"
All the crazy Google proprietary app stuff has been taken care off
Updated frequently
Everything works!
So what do I mean when I say "Everything works!"?
I'm sure by now you all know that when someone says that, it usually ends up not being true. This ROM is not an exception to that rule, but I can say that I've tested most of the things that would be expected to work in stock Android, such as...
WiFi Tethering (no subscription check)
Bluetooth streaming
Google account sign-in and auto-restore of apps and settings
Google Wallet
Location Services (pretty fast GPS lock in my area also)
Believe it or not, December is still a month!
Photosphere
Android beam
Photo editing with the new filters
Email
Exchange support
Like I said, the normal stuff (data, voice, hardware acceleration, etc.)

Installation Instructions (VERY IMPORTANT - Note: You can flash all of these ZIPs in CWM or TWRP)
ROM
1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the download post. (Also download any other files you will need to install, such as Chainfire's Superuser Root ZIP, the radios installation ZIP, the bootloader installation ZIP, etc.)
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. If you want to be 100% sure there are no problems, wipe data. If you are coming from another ROM or Android version, wipe data. If you do not wipe data and something goes wrong, repeat this process but wipe data - this step is not necessary if you are simply upgrading.
10. If you are updating your radios, flash FK01_FK02_Radios-signed.zip
11. If you are updating your bootloader, flash PRIMEMD04-signed.zip
12. Flash the ROM (baldwinguy77_toro_aosp...signed.zip)
13. If you are rooting, flash Chainfire's SuperSU ZIP file - this step is not necessary if you were rooted on the previous build and are simply upgrading.
14. Reboot your phone, and enjoy!
Download it noooooooowwwww: here, instant dl.
This isn't mine, if you have questions feel free to ask.
The lag can be fixed (apparently) by using a custom kernel like Mpokang.
I am sure this will get deleted... Xda doesn't like links to that other site....

Switched over to ShinyROM 4.3.x after running mmuzzy's ROMs for quite some time. Both devs are busy but are great with supporting their builds. If you're looking for a natural follow up to mmuzzy 4.2.2, I'd suggest Shiny 4.3.1. Like mmuzzy's ROMs, it's rock solid, close to stock and seems to be very compatible with the leaked 4.4 apps.
4.4
Here's 4.4

If you alter anything under settings ie changing from 3g to LTE after reboot you will only be able to obtain 3g. After clean install upon booting up immediately reboot to continue set up. 4g loads up everytime

I just tried this ROM just to try it out. I also dont get 4G. I have the latest radios installed. I see people over on the other site say that 4G is working though so I dont know what the issue is.
Great ROM everything is fully operational no graphical errors or anything

Exactly where do you see that I am trolling? I simply stated that I am enjoying the rom.

No problems with 4g here
But definitely has the graphics glitches. These are going to be present in every 4.4 for gnex until they figure it the new graphics drivers from what I've read.
Other than the graphics I haven't run into any issues. GPS works.. Not sure on Bluetooth as I don't use it. Using mpokang 1080 kernel.

Haha yeah let me rephrase that I wasn't having graphical issues at first but now I'm having some still not as bad as other 4.4 roms

I'm not getting 4G either. I followed the steps of flashing the new radio, rebooting after the first, boot, etc., but still no 4G. Only 3G and WiFi.

No 4G/3G *** Because no SIM
Ok, so I don't have a SIM in this device right now. WiFi works just fine. I did have a reboot while trying to back out of Chrome tho. Still browsing, but the install and root were super easy.
I know this is an old phone, I am going to turn them into gps systems, mainly of course they will be able to wifi. Download apps and such, but their main purpose will be for gps navigation.
So what is the best rom, one that everything works plus great battery life.
Phones won't have any cell service, just wifi, so cell phone service isn't important.
Nvm wrong phone lol

Stock rom is GB, so really not a good choice.
Best might be the wrong word, so what ics or jb romm is fully functional? I am looking at threads the ones I am looking at the camera doesn't work and so on.
Need camera to work, 4G not needed, but navigate without camera is useless.

Give cyanmobile a shot. It is gingerbread so everything works and to top it off it has many ics/jb features ported over. Plus it has a massive amount of settings to customize it to your liking.

I am testing that rom right now, main app it must run is Navfree USA: Free Satnav, if it can do that, all is well.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
Update Navfree USA works just fine with this rom, No other rom needed thanks again, this rom is exactly what I was looking for.
