It's starting to suck battery big time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Something Else might be draining the battery then cause I'm on 33% battery life left with 2 days and 16 hours use already and that's normal for Portal Rom

See if you can find out what is using the battery so extensively
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZliG:
+1
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rete:
There are tools you can use to find out what is causing your poor battery life.

CPYSpy to check if your phone is entering and staying in deep sleep.

Betterbatterystats to check for partial and kernel wakelocks and what the causes are (if excessive).

GSam Battery can be used to see which programs are keeping your phone awake (if there are no excessive wakelocks apparent in BBS).

That said, I've been flashing upgrades of Portal ROM without full wipe. When I upgraded to 2.4 my phone would not deep sleep and I could not find the cause. A full wipe cured the problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Leonidas300:
Been using this ROM for while now battery life is good but lately the fone freezes usually when I use the browser or posting to Facebook and then have to reboot to get it working again :confused::confused: anyone else have the same problem I got it in 2.3 and 2.4. Love this ROM and would really like to get it sorted
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Sir, just flash different kernel and see if something got change it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Just flash the 3.4.1 Siyah kernel and then do a cache and dalvic clear. That should resolve your problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Leonidas300:
Did try different kernels inlcl 2 x Siyah but you know Murphy's law the only one I didn't try was 3.4.1:rolleyes: will give it a go thanx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Lol ... Yea i know that one. Have you checked if it could be a other application draining your battery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Leonidas300:
No....battery is fine best I've tested so far,flashed Siyah 3.4.1 this morning and no problem with freezing today looks like you nailed it:good::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rakeshishere:
@OP

I tried your ROM and found it to be very stable and awesome but only thing I disliked is white status bar and notification bar. It's not good to use white theme on AMOELD screens as it's decreases battery life and also increases infamous screen burn in problem.

Apart from that everything else works great. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Leonidas300:
#1 I think you should use the Rom a bit longer before making such statements as this is one of the Samsung Based Roms with the best battery life.

#2 If you are worried about screen burn in you would have to start at Samsung as one of my friends got statubar burn in on the stock Rom. And after he noticed it using landscape mode he sorted it with some app on the market (I think permanent screen burn in was a problem with the older AMOLED screens)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rakeshishere:
Both your statements do not justify anything. I'm sure dev agrees with what I'm saying.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Leonidas300:
Yes you are totally correct seeing that you are not only an expert on Amoled and the Portal Rom, but also can read the developers mind.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jmayorga96:
can i change the lockring of the lockscreen? and how?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
The white is a glow faded white so its not a the whitest the screen can display. Burn in will only occur if you literally keep your screen on for hours at a time without it turning off for a few seconds in between. But that has nothing to do with Portal or the white. You have to remember AMOLED screens have a organic filament that has a lifetime of around 10 years. This organic filament dies in around 10 years time and unfortunately displaying any color on it even pink or blue causes burn in with prolonged exposure. It has nothing to do with the color.

Agreed

Yes you can. You can search for "Lockrings" on google and should find a lot of guides that would be able to guide you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bart1981:
Love the ROM, but would it be an idea to theme the geen sliders, more into the the rest of the theme?For example white or light blue?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Quiety:
Hey toxic,

are you working on a new version of this great rom ?

Is there anything we can expect ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bart1981:
Found 1 little bug. When the phone is pour on silent, it still vibrates when a new email is received. Never had this with other Roms
[Galaxy S II Android Development] umberto1978:
It could be not a bug.

You should check if your email app email have some setting that override the sound system setting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bart1981:
Well in gmail it is put on vibrate always. But once again this is the only rom where it also vibrates when the phone is put on sill. In my eyes the phone setting should override the program settings.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crypticc:
Blame samsung for that. I believe most of this rom is stock-like
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bart1981:
Yeah that's true, and that's one of the things I really like.

But I was just wondering if it was an option to change/theme it!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZliG:
And you are?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] markdexter:
Really nice ROM, anybody have Facebook app lock up sometimes, it was happening alot, I decided to fix permissions seems to have helped, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Uninstall Facebook app. Install Friendcaster. The app is way better and actually gives you high res photos in your contacts. Also has real time push notifications and not every hour like the facebook App.

Sorry for my inactivity the last while. I installed Windows 8 and had that for a burn in on things to do. Then I got my Bike and I kinda lost track with the world for a week :P

I will be working on a update soon. PM me your suggestions if there is something specific you would like included. If you are interested in additional theming let me know and I could give you the current Icon set and you could change it and send it back to me so I could build a "Patched" version for additional themes.

As far as I can tell the Rom runs perfect the way it is now but as always if there are changes you would like to see give me a PM.

I'm waiting for the 1st JB official leak so I could give you guys a JB Portal Rom ... That's why I haven't really been working on any additional features for now.

The 1st OTA update will most likely be to JB but we will see how it pans out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tomj777:
I like this ROM but had been struggling with bad reception... Just discovered (modem thread) the application GetRIL (market) which identified a RIL mismatch and (I think) corrected). Thought it right / kind to share.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] umberto1978:
the ril mismatch is common to ALL derivated roms from latest 4.0.4 firmware, not related to developing activity.

as well, if you take a look at your serial number (settings, phone info, status) it will show you a BEAUTIFUL 00000000: related to all derivated roms too, mine too....its a samsung fault.

ps.: dont worry, adb show thw correct value for this, is a mismatch of settings coding. ;)

Hi toxicdust

I rooted and flashed 2.4 on my phone coming from stock kernel

The phonr starts fine.with ICS LOGO and then i get portal rom logo with an android in the middle and an aura revolving around him. I cannot go past that screen

I have tried reflashing the rom and still the same

Pls help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Go to the 1st post in the thread. Install Siyah 3.4.1 and it will bootup
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Sir, download again rom zip file. Could be a corrupted zip file and missing some drivers or flash different kernel.

P.S. somebody is faster:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jitesh_88:
Thank you for your advise that worked for me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jitesh_88:
Sorry guys i have run into another problem

I tried to factory reset the phone from

Backup and reset > factory reset

And i lost everything on the phone seems like even the rom. It wouldnt go past the samsung galaxy gt i91000 boot sign and then just shut down itself

Cannot even boot into recovery. Only download mode is available

Flashed stock rom, root and then portal rom again

Scared to factory reset again

Any tips?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Ummm have no idea ... Why not just use CWM to do a factory reset. I have never used that reset feature on the phone so wont be able to comment on it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jitesh_88:
Okay i will give that a go now and let you know how it went

Cheers

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Okay so did factory reset from cwm and it wouldnt boot past portal rom logo

Flashed siyah 3.4.1 as it had gone back to siyah 4.0.1

Working now..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bart1981:
Don't know if it's rom related of something else. When I put the phone on silent, it still vibrates with certain notifications. For example when I receive a whatsapp message it still vibrates...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rakeshishere:
Change notification settings for Whatsapp under Settings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bart1981:
But if I remember correctly the 'silent' mode overruled the notification settings in every app. No matter if it's the facebook app, e-mail app, whatsapp app, etc. But now that doesn't seem to work anymore.... But once again I'm not shure if it's a rom related issue or if it has something to do with the ICS version....

How is it with others?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tomj777:
Not every application. Think of an alarm application. Perhaps others
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crypticc:
Why not use 4.1.4?

anyone know how to get stock S2 touchwiz launcher on this rom

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ausi:
Are there not going to be anymore updates? or OTA?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mino0703:
I'm looking forward to the next update, this my favorite rom, it looks remarkable.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZliG:
Mine too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
I'm not doing any work now Zlig ... No point in updating and spending the time now with JB 1 month away. I was hoping JB would be here sooner but in all fairness a lot of time and effort goes into developing these roms and even though a small change can have a big impact on overall experience.

My next Update will be with JB and I will spend a lot more time and effort into expanding the functionality I never got around to doing. in 4.0.4

All in all Thanks to all the users who have supported this project and there will definitely be a JB update very early after it gets leaked. I am keeping an eye out every day for a leaked version and I will try and get it to all of you ASAP

For now we just have to wait ... Yea I know its killing me too

[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Hey ZliG ... Just want to know what you are still doing in Portal Rom thread if all you can do is complain about features and post links to other Roms that in your opinion is better?

What are you trying to prove? Currently 4.0.4 is the best out there so why should I use AOKP or any of the others when my Rom is clearly stated to be a Samsung Base Rom from the start and atm there is nothing newer than 4.0.4?

Please stop this trolling cause its really getting old. If you don't like the Rom unsubscribe to my thread and move somewhere else plz.

I am releasing Version 1.2 now. Just busy compiling it. Then I do a quick test and upload. Should be done in less than 30 min.

This will be a semi slimmed version (dropped by 40mb)

Cant do Mediafire as their max upload size is 200mb and my roms are all over 200mb

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kowcop:
you might want to check your transparency bar.. when I pull down the toggles, everything (including the toggle buttons) is transparent. I went back the the systemUI.apk from 1.1 and it was good again
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jsbutran:
ITS NOT A TRANSPARENT STATUS BAR as you pointed out. its only complete transparent notification bar including the transparent toggle background.

Please if you can work out the the MOD for 100% transparent status bar (background of battery, clock signal bar icons) It will be a great one. I have already started recommending this work of your to others. Keep the good work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
LOL ... sorry for not understanding the request. I am going away for the weekend but will quickly from work see what I can do.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Version 1.2 Is up on 1st page
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rogmar:
Thanks for the transparent notification bar but sorry for the confusion,i mean't a transparent STATUS BAR...By the way your ROM is very smooth.No problems found at all.

Exchange email issue

hi - first of, great ROM

I have been away from Samsung ROMS for a while but thought i would give this one a spin.

Everything appears OK except for one error message that i have never seen on any other ROM, including Samsung ROMS.

I use Exchange email which is pushed from my companies Office 365 account.

After the initial sync, i get an error about Security.

"Security update required

update security to settings to use account"

and no new email appears.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Edit: Looks like i solved it by selecting "accept SSL certificates" AT THE TIME OF ACCOUNT SETUP. Selecting it after the account is setup didn't work

Please kindly theme also the install indicator in the notification area - it is now ugly green - please make it gray! Thank you!

Also - there is no default boot animation, after changing the kernel to speedmod that does not support external boot animation i have black screen when booting.

Also could you please use multi csc, not italian, please.

Many thanks for your work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sves:
Hm... Please release completely transparent top bar as a stand alone patch, looks rather specific to make it a default look. Thanks!

Looking forward to see LPG release;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
No benefit to releasing LPG. Its 4 days newer than LPF.

Portal Rom V1.3 has been released
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lio78:
@Toxicdust, thank's for the upgrade...

But please, if you can/want, make a little CWM update for a first version of notification toggle!

Anyway thank's
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Yes. There will be a update later today to make the Status bar non transparent again. I personally don't like it that much and will have it separated as a additional patch for whoever wants is
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lio78:
Ooooooh! Thank you, your support is awesome. :eek:

Thank's man! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] warfist:
halo wi usb ativeiren
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sves:
Many thanks for the update:) Could you please make Non-Wipe ROMS - updating the ROM with wipe is so time consuming...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.Greg:
Mate, if he wiil cook a non-wipe roms, then people will post here they have lots of FC and freezing and will complain about the rom. With full wipe we starting a clean rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
What he said :P

BTW 1.3a has been added to fix the annoying complete transparent Status bar :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sves:
Then probably there should be released more patches/addons than ROMs. Actually 1.3 is addon, not much changed - I took phone.apk and contacts.apk to update my 1.2 since full wipe will disable me to use the phone for an hour.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
There is a kernel update from 1.2 to 1.3 but the rest gets done with patching.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nedooo:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] simes6600:
am loving this theme, kudos to the dev :)

just a niggle. since the toggles in the notification bar are semi transparent, they are sorta hard to see as i have a fancy widget clock showin thru in the background. any mods to turn off the transparency in the notification area?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sves:
Actually - yes, the best theme up to date. Got very tired of dozens of ROMs with blue graphics - this one is a real remedy.

P.S. In my opinion this ROM should keep its appearance as it is - no more 100% transparency (only as addons), no 0% transparency (only as addon).

As I noted there are some issues in the notification are that could be improved (green bars) but in general the ROM is very good.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dream_fun:
how i can make a direct dial short cut ??? long press on screen shows a different list than usual other roms ??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
When you go to Applications at the top is Widgets

Under Widgets you will find Contact 1x1 as a Widget. Once you drag and drop that to the Home screen it will ask you witch Contact do you want to have a shortcut too...

Just tested it and it works

Its when the widgets get reloaded and the memory gets refreshed. This only happens when you clear the memory and then go back to the home screen directly

You don't have to clear the memory of the rom btw

[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Yes Export to Sim is included. Sorry cant upload on Mediafire. As explained before Mediafire's upload limit for free account is 300mb

The rom is currently as is 314mb so Mediafire wont upload. You can thank S-Voice for the extra 90mb :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicdust:
Yes. Full wipe should resolve that. Let me know please cause I havent seen that before :confused:
