[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
Yup unfortunately. Not very open source and in the xda spirit. Don't know why people have respect or support PA after they done this. :(

There should be more developers like bajee who believe in the open source philosophy.

Anyone that doesn't should not be allowed on xda.

Sorry end OT:(

Edit : It looks like I'm mistaken and PA do intend to release it to open source. So I apologise if I'm went under old information as I haven't followed the pa thread admitingly after the announcement to be closed source.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mahdi786:
They are going to open source once they get out of beta stage which is soon and whoever wants to kang it can.

The old code is still out there but it doesn't work on 4.2.1 I tried myself, that's why there isn't a kang out there yet.

Bajee's decision not to include it is up to him, don't blame the PA team. Their only request was not to include the paprefs.apk in roms which people didn't obviously listen.

So what's stopping people releasing 4.2.1 with old PA code?? It doesn't work!!

If you don't follow the PA thread don't make statement like their not open source because its totally not true. Thanks everyone.

HEY GUys please answer my question.

i had stock 4.0.4 installed on my GSII. after i upgraded my phone to ROOTBOX(latest version) my phone(near camera) getting warm alot.

is it common or no?

and is it dangerous for my phone?

and does anyone has this problem?

and if you know tell me how to fix it.

thanks alot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kantjer:
Did you do a clean install as advised on the OP?

No its not common, at least not for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] connectandroid:
Yeah same for me a bit warmer at back of phone.

went from

stock non-rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 Optus Australia rom on LQ6 with 4.0.4

+

Mugen 3200mah extended battery

+

Magic Sim dual sim adaptor

+

Juice Defender Ultimate

to

Siyah 4.1.5 rooted kernel

to

Rootbox 3.3.1 Android 4.2.1

But warmer might be also because i had wifi actively used to redownload apps, update other items for the entire day. But nothing to worry about, on 4.0.4 when gaming temps get to 45C. Haven't tried with 4.2.1 yet

Battery info app tells me my phone temp is around 38-45C when in active use compared to around 35-40C and my battery life is much shorter went from 60-90hrs with 4.0.4 to just under 18 hrs with Rootbox 3.3.1 (details)

Going to try removing Juice Defender and see
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aliendna99:
Stock ics = very good battery

Aokp ics = good battery

Aokp jb = not so good battery

Adding Siyah or Dorimanx kernel = even less battery

Just live with it or use ICS :)

Can warmly recommend rootbox ics it is very very good battery life

But stock will always be best

Wait for official stock Samsung jelly then aokp jelly will also be good battery life
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tak3r07:
Ok, stop that. This is the biggest bull**** i have read today. Im sorry to say that but it is simply not true what you say.

Rom: AOKP RB latest

Modem: M250 UB23

Kernel: Dorimanx latest @ default settings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dayaparan:
Confused?

Is this rom 4.1.2 JB or 4.2.1. here http://www.wheretwo.com/Rootbox/features/ it says 4.1.2 and some places 4.2.1 ?

Secondly, i am currently using Resurrection Remix for a very long time, How do you compare this rom with RR.

I wanted to try this rom in my s2 GT I9100, please advice.

with warm regards

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ravikiran7785:
What is the battery life you get on an average

I barely get 15 hours with this Rom on the default kernel

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ceballos:
Sorry but battrry life depends on so many factors,

the two main factors are :

* first the kernel settings

* secondary the screen luminosity.

The rootbox 3.2 is the best for battery life. (see picture).. But the latest 3.3.1 is also good if you use dorimanx latest kernel..

It's all in settings you put into your kernel..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kilometers4:
I completely agree. With dorimanx and siyah you can tweak it so much that you get ridiculous battery life.. You just need to know what you're doing ;)

The best thing you can do is a nandroid backup and try this rom out for yourself. Just make sure you follow the instructions on the op.

Every single person gets different battery life since no two people have the same setup. If you can get a full day out of the battery it's fine since you can charge it at night. Or do what I did and get higher mah batteries and swap them out when they die :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] connectandroid:
wonder if battery life less as there doesn't seem to be a power saving mode in 4.2.1 vs 4.0.4 ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kilometers4:
Just tweak the kernel to give you better battery life. Try underclocking / undervolting, there are many threads on this topic
[Galaxy S II Android Development] connectandroid:
hmm maybe it would help Bajee if we started a Rootbox 3.3.1 / 4.2.1 dedicated thread for battery life discussions ? not sure which forum it should go in ?

definitely will try underclocking as well
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kilometers4:
Well it's not the devs fault if you get goo/bad battery. Every single person has a different setup and will get different battery life. If you want better battery life do research on the tweaks you need to do that can increase your battery.. No need for another thread or even further discussion on the topic. Just search xda for threads for battery life..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] connectandroid:
totally understand everyone has different battery life, just comparing my own battery life/usage differences and definitely know it isn't dev's fault.

no more battery life discussion in this thread from me :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] saikat_ace:
i am currently on XXLSJ...philz kernel...but i am getting boot loops when m installing vanilla rootbox..need help.. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ismani:
Sir,

Have u done all the steps below ?

1) Wipe Data (will erase all apps , contacts , mesage , calendar , bookmarks)

2) Install ROM & Gapps

3) Wipe cache

4) Fix Permission

5) Reboot n Njoy

use stock CM Kernel , it will give u a good battery life :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] o3stef:
Install a different kernel (siyah or dori), reboot recovery then perform all the steps again to install the rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] saikat_ace:
i followed the steps...but its giving bootloops.....and can u suggest some good kernels...and how to install them i mean should i flash them in CWM phils kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] override182:
I believe that u need a proper recovery first.. So flash siyah or dorimanx just to get the recovery, reboot recovery, then format /system /data.. Then follow the steps above
[Galaxy S II Android Development] saikat_ace:
ok but...recovery mode is there bro..its on philz kernel...simplistic JB stock rom..xxlsj...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kubics:
But philz kernel does not allow you to flash rootbox. So do what others told.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dayaparan:
Please help!.

Thanks, I installed it. I have the following problem,

1. I could not find paranoid setting under setting, though, rest of the settings are visible.

2. Gesture/slider typing was not working on the Keyboard, though, hence, i downloaded free 4.2 keyboard from play store and set it all right.

3. Battery was terribly bad.Though, i understand, it might 2 or 3 battery charge to set.

4. Camera twice gave f/c, after that it seems to working all fine.

5. GMAIL pinch to zoom is not working.

6. Finally, the back side of the phone near flash seems to get very hot at times.

Other than the above rest everything seems to fine with the rom so far. After using it over 12 hours i can say this.

Note:- During the Installation somehow, i could not find format through my c/w recovery, as i was using earlier RR mode with latest Siyah kernel. However, I did reset factory, wiped data and installed, finally, i cleared cache and wiped data.

Any advice, help would be highly appreciated.

Also I would like to know, this rom can I install Multi-window apk of Note II.

with warm regards

daya

using RB 3.3.1 JB 4.2.1
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jrhoop:
1. No paranoid in this version.

2. No idea, i use swype.

3. Im on two days here on stock kernel so i would guess a problem with factory reset.

4. Try clearing the data in Camera app

5. Have you installed the latest version from market? Also the pinch to zoom needs turning on in the settings.

6. Again no problem here - more than likely a problem with full wipe.

Now you have rootbox with cwm - just full wipe from recovery and reflash.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dayaparan:
thanks!

Yes, let me right away, do a full wipe, format, flash, dalvik, clear cache, and check and get back here.. thanks a lot. regards daya
[Galaxy S II Android Development] woody_2k:
I have just come from stock job with Phil kernel. If you get error 7 when trying to flash or backup its the kernel. Flash dorminax or other kernel and select reboot recovery. If you try and boot to room it will fail. Now wipe and install the ROM. Did this myself last night but I read about the problems with the kernel rather than just asking for a solution. Oh and there is no paranoid preferences before you ask about that either
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kubics:
I do not fully agree to your conclusion.

On one hand, it is clearly stated by them, that their frameworks are open source.

On the other hand, it is also clearly stated, that they will keep PAPrefs private. End they explicitly requested not to include it to other ROMs.

So what's stopping people releasing 4.2.1 with PA? It is their request not to do it.

It is important to distinguish two independent terms: "open source" not equals to "free to use". That's the reason for Bajee11's decision to remove it and not to add it. It is not because of current beta stage of PA.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mahdi786:
As a simple user I don't expect you to understand what I was talking about so I'm not going to bother explaining, I think Bajee understands, and this is not PA thread so stop the OT Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chrisbramm:
So I can get Google Now to come up when I have the softkey navbar enabled and I can drag up from the home button but any way to set a shortcut for this for the hardware home button, long pressing it just gives me the recent apps list.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] aciduzzo:
Hi guys

I have flashed the i9100P version, but upon boot i get "Unfortunately, Nfc Service has stopped". Can't seem to dismiss this message, so am a bit stuck.

I've read the previous pages and i see that this happened to another poster, and that he was advised to use the I9100 version at the time, but i don't have that version downloaded on my sdcard. So i'm not sure what to do. Any help very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hannibal226:
First of all, if u next time flash a newer version, make a nandroid backup first (just to remind)

So u get this error message but what happens then? What means u can't dismiss - No back, no Homebutton helps to get further?

U can first flash an order version if u have, from SD card, load then the new and put in on phone and flash it...

If u haven't, u can try to wipe cache, dalvik cache and then fix permissions once.

Last option at all is to flash a stock firmware, then a rooted kernel, afterwise the new ROM.

Hope I could help.

CHEERS ;)

---------- Post added at 02:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

Settings for Shortkey-actions aren't added for now...

The 3.3.1 is the first 4.2.1 release from bajee and it's not as full of features and not as configurable as the 3.2 (4.1.2).

So be patient and wait for next releases or go back on 3.2.

CHEERS ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aciduzzo:
Thanks Hannibal. Luckily i did actually backup, but was trying to avoid reverting to my orignal (Orange) ROM lol. Anyway, restored and good to restart!

Re the error itself, it basically renders the ROM totally useless. No button works and you have no option but to take out the battery.

Wipe cache/DC didn't help, but what do you mean by "fix permissions once"?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hannibal226:
It's an option in CWM.

I'm not sure atm but I think u find it in "advanced".

This will set all permissions again/correct and so u can at least see if it just was this fold or if NFC just isn't working under this release.

Anyway if u already flashed anything else or update, remind to do a nandroid backup again :P

CHEERS

I have been using Rootbox for a while, now with v3.3.1

My flash player always worked before (com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk) but now I am only getting audio. Anyone got a player that works, or am I doing something wrong?

I'm sure it worked with 3.2 before but it doesn't now with 3.3.1.

I have tried a few different versions of flash but still only get audio. Anyone else using Rootbox have this problem. I appreciate that it is not a ROM issue but I was wondering if it has happened before to anyone else.

Thank you

Tim
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shadowblade330:
what kernel are you using I think some people were mentioning they had video problems with some kernel. But if its stock idk then it worked fine on mine did you try clearing data
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Timbop37:
Thanks for the reply.

I am on Dori 7.34, and have been using Dori for ages. By the way, it didn't work on the default Rootbox kernel. Tried clearing data/cache without success. I will get to the bottom of it. I am sure it is just one of those strange, spurious, phenomena

Great rom, came back to AOKP after long time, since stock JB 4.1.2 leak is not working as it should. Call me graphical, though i do miss couble of stuff from the old stock roms

1. screen brightness (i think in AOKP roms is no very bright

2. sliding instead of tabing the screen to call or send SMS

well i also would be interested to know what kernel most of you use with these rom, and if there are some compoatible with 4.2.1 ( Dorimax is, as far as i have read ..any others?)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kantjer:
Her you go, it snot the latest version but it will do the trick.

As for for the flipping signal bars, I had something similar a few day ago actually not that far from your home town ;)

I solved it by flashing the same modem but including the matching RIL files (see my sig for details), that stabilised the signal bar issue.

After upgrading to the latest nightly yesterday I haven't flashed the matching RIL's yet and everything is stable until now.
