in Android, How To's

CyanogenMod is the best and highly popular open source Custom ROM for Android devices. CyanogenMod is designed to increase performance and reliability over Android based ROMs released by vendors and carriers. It also offers a variety of features and enhancements that are currently not found in stock versions of Android.

The Stable CyanogenMod 7.1 build has been finally released after a long delay. CM 7.1 comes with lot of new features, improvements and support for 68 devices! This build is based on Android 2.3.7. While stable CM 7.1 is available for majority of devices but still there are many devices still in beta status (Pyramid, HP Touchpad, Optimus 3D, etc.)

Official CyanogenMod support for Samsung Galaxy S II has been added in CyanogenMod 7.1. Here is our Guide to Install CM 7.1 on SGS2 (follow the below steps carefully). This tutorial can be used to install CM7 on other supported Android devices as well if your device is rooted with an appropriate tool.

Disclaimer: Please try this guide at your own risk. We will not be responsible in case you brick the device or its warranty gets void.

Before proceeding, Make a BACKUP – It’s recommended to backup entire phone data like contacts, messages, photos, etc. Use Titanium Backup to create a backup of all Applications installed on the phone (requires rooting). Also, backup everything stored on the SD card to a folder on your PC because it might be formatted too.

>> To Flash a custom ROM on your device, you first need to ROOT the Galaxy S II. Visit this thread posted at XDA-Developers forum to see how to root your SGS2.

Perquisite: 100% charged phone and download below files.

  • Download CyanogenMod 7.1 (Stable Mod) for SGS2 I9100

Installing ClockworkMod Recovery –

        I haven’t tried it but it’ll surely work as it’s a clear cut procedure inspired from my LG P500 custom ROM article. It’s stable CM 7.1, Google Apps would probably work fine with it.
