[Galaxy S II Android Development] Aeonys:
A congratulation, a problem report and a question

Disclaimer: This post is a Congratulation, a problem report and a question:

1.

@bajee11 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS ROM! I know you don’t exactly work alone, no one does so extend my gratitude for this rom to whoever you see fit 

This rom is great, I’ve been using it since 2.3 and I love it, I got every single update and I can see the bugs reduction, the stability and speed improvements and the functionality additions which I all greatly appreciate.

For what it’s worth, I also want to thank every other contributors on this thread has I solved some of my previous issues by reading through it.

I have a problem. It is a recurring problem for has long has I have used the rom and I can’t seem to find a solution.

I got the phone rooted and with 3.0.15-CM-g712c2c6 kernel. I then followed all the installation steps religiously (page 1 of this thread) for every single new version of the rom that would come out. For a while (ranging from 7 days in 2.x version) to 2 weeks in 3.0) everything went fine, no hiccups, a rare freeze, a rare crash but nothing a restart wouldn’t solve.

Then I wake up one morning and the phone starts to crash. First it tells me “unfortunately gapps has crashed” then it’s the phone app, then the launcher. At first, rebooting the phone works for 30 minutes or so but it creeps back and the whole phone becomes unusable as I also see the battery being drained of it juice in 2 hours while it would last a full day of heavy use previously.

I am not a noob at xda developer, I search the whole thread and couldn’t find a thing, I searched the forum in general but it was inconclusive. I called my mum to tell her that yes I was “special”, I did try to find an answer without bothering the community.

Please find all my phone details below:

Finally, I have one question related to my experience with rootbox. Currently, if a new version of the rom comes out, I have to download it (no problem), download gapps (if new) then backup all I can with titanium pro, backup sms, backup call logs, take screenshots of my setup so I know exactly where to put icons and widget back after I went ahead with the “install cmoing from another rom” instruction on page 1.

SO yes I might be dumb and the goo.im system does not yet seem to work for me in terms of delta updates.

If there is one methodology, is there a location/url where I can find step by step instructions to update the rom without having to back everything up, wipe everything, flash rom, reboot and deal with a “brand new” phone which I must configure, and for which I must spend one hour just putting everything back into place?

I ask this because this is exactly what OTA updates are doing and I assume that this is the realm of technically feasible (note: I don’t ask for OTA, but for an app to download updates on wifi, reboot and get going with the new version).
