Running latest RootBox nightly 20130109 together with Siyah-v5-MCM-i9100-vsync_sysfs-20130110 and i must say it is smooth as butter. Haven't found any issues yet except for the Chronus weather panel, somehow it always shows a cloud with a big ? in it. Never the actual icon of what the weather is supposed to be like. If i check the weather on the Yahoo Weathers website i can actually see they also have a unknown or ? sign for it.... sigh.... I guess Yahoo isn't really interested in giving South Africans the same treatment as for example the US or Canada :p

Is there a way to make Chronus use another weather forecasting service other then Yahoo or must i request this to the Chronus devs?

Thanks for your suggestion.

There may be a difficult to search for many posts to find out what is the best kernel matched to the specific ROM.

I also suggest there may be set up a list with suggestive kernel and specific ROM.

Thank you.

As every thing worked ok till I I changed to RB 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 I think its ROM related. Though it was my phone till I got the second one last week and went straight to RB from stock. The old one worked ok for a year or so, even with first versions of RB (when going from 4.1.x to 4.2.x I wiped it clean). Now I've got two phones with the same ROM but different Radios and history :) and the same problem..

Also have this problem with all JB 4.2 devices and ROMs :( Latitude, which may be a plausible cause, is turned off. Tried everything to fix it, reflashed, full wipe, other gapps, etc., no change. I have googled a lot and found this question asked so many times but never found a helping answer. It also has been reported as a 4.2 bug to Google in various posts (e.g. here)

-> only way to keep battery for more than 20 hours is to disable "access to my location" in settings. Really annoying.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mythenmetz:
Really annoying... But switching every acces to location off is no solution because of wheather widgets etc... Weird that this doesn't happen on 4.1... At the moment i uninstall every app which needs location one by one, to see if it's one of the apps, but until now i haven't found a "guilty" app...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dani01c:
Man. Ive been paying a lot of attention to details on sound. Out seems that on Bluetooth it's where the sound is worst. It has a crackling/hissing sound to it and of you put it a bit loud it gets all distorted. On the speaker it sounds a bit distorted when I received a call and it didn't sound like that before on v3.2. But at least on headphones it sounds freaking amazing. Does anyone know any workarounds? At least the music via Bluetooth is driving me nuts because I had for Christmas present Jay bird jf3 Bluetooth headset and I use them almost all of the time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unexist6969:
Os yamaha hal might give a little distortion on bluethooth and speaker

With 3mm connector its all good

U can try ac1d sound mod or noozy player/noozy eq with poweramp and fiddle with dorimanx sound settings also try freezing dsp manager
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dani01c:
I know that the Yamaha amp sucks but in v3.2 this didn't happen. I was on dorimanx v7.38 and had 2 freezes in less than 20 minutes using XDA app along with Google music or in a call. I had tried installing the acid sound thing but as soon as I booted it was force closing and phone had no sound.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] godzifa:
If I remember correctly, in past version there was the CM SMS/MMS.apk that allow to convert latin caracters to unicode. I don't find that option anymore in the app. Would it possible to have it back?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unexist6969:
That's because JB 4.2.1 roms use the new os yamaha hal instead of samsungs blob which fixes the volume bug but might cause distortion. Dorimanx has the ram problems (I experience them too when I let all apps open) which cause freezes check last pages, I tap fast reboot often to avoid these or use 600mb zram now it gets filled easily for true multitask :P

And try ac1d sound mod 5- universal it shouldn't give problems
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Demikos89:
I bet you guys all know this already but I am going to say it anyway.

First, I love RootBox. The developer is doing an amazing job. Thank you a lot.

Now, I am on RootBox 2.9 (Android 4.1.2 before Paranoid was introduced in this ROM) and for my personal opinion is the most stable so far. I've tried plenty of ROM's but somehow always come back to this one. No bugs, everything works as it should. KUDOS.

I flashed the latest version 3.4 the other day, and didn't found any major bugs withing the ROM itself, everything worked good and I loved the new statusbar of Android 4.2.1, but there is one thing which is not still fully working as it should. That is the Camera.

For some reason the camera display's a more like in zoom view even when taking pics. The same way it does when you try to record a video in 1080p with the stock Samsung ROM's camera app.

Tried going into the video and changing the quality from 1080p to 480p, and it did zoom out the view even when taking pics, but the quality wasnt that good comparing to stock Samsung ROM or the previous RootBox (in this case RootBox 2.9 with Android 4.1.2).

Im not trying to offend anyone, just letting you know my experience with the new ROM.

I still love the ROM as a whole but since I use the camera alot on my phone I am obliged to go back to previous ROM just because of that, unfortunately.

I will try the new versions when they come out and see if this has been fixed.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Unexist6969:
@agonn you can try duel-booting a samsung rom with a kernel like dorimanx/mcm siyah. Idk but Pfittech rom(based on cm9/aokp) had an amazing camera(idk if that's portable but he doesn't have github or anything so I don't guess bajjee will include it) but a vid of 5 mins of 1080P took about 1GB.. So I prefer 720P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Shweet

Awesome, yeh I noticed that as well, then I installed the latest Siyah vsync, 13/01/2013, and then installed ICS Camera, I must say it is simply superb. I often record videos of mates surfing etc etc and so that camera is essential for me. I was using my sgs3 to do it but had to go back to sgs2 as water, sea and sand could potentially destroy my sgs3 baby and I cannot let that happen. But yeh, give ICS Camera a spin, it still rocks.

U have to see this in another way.

It's blue, when it's activated!

So if the Screen rotation LOCK is activated = button blue.

If it's deactivated (rotation possible) = button white/inactive.

PS: That's how coding works:

Active yes OR no

If yes = x

If no = y

Well..... after my 1st day testing latest 4.2. I am greatly impressed....

Most of the niggles that forced me back to 3.2 are gone.... and the biggest reason for reverting back( ie, battery life ) has also vastly improved.... I am now at 13 hours since unplugged, with 2 hours of screen time and still have 65% left.

Deep sleep is superb although drain when screen on its slightly higher than 3.2. I can live with that for all the 4.2.1.loveliness....

I am still on stock kernal.... have most of you switched now ????? I do miss being a regular Dori flasher !!!!

Anyway... great job Bajee.... I knew you would entice me back....:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hannibal226:
Yep I changed, especially because BLN feature, but Dori always get unstable after some days...

Yeah but worth headphones it sounds perfect! The quality is amazing. It's only via Bluetooth that sounds terrible. I had tried the acid engine and it left my phone without sound and couldn't use the phone because it kept on force closing. I'm not sure if I should try it again to end up wiping the device because it doesn't work. Unless I installed the wrong zip or something.

Is photoshpehre working ?

Whats not working ?

Sorry for asking, I am new to galaxy s2 ;)

Whats about vsync ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] luizlee86:
If you are new to SGS2, then you should read, read and read.

This is a development thread, so don't expect anyone to come here and make a list of what's working and what's not. It is not a Q&A thread, please understand that.

What I can I say is that even latest nightly is pretty stable. There are some few minor bugs that some people are experiencing but nothing that makes it unusable daily.

Even if there is no a "that's the best kernel", for now maybe it would be recommended to use Siyah V5 vsync (you can download it from the link in my sign) or even stay with the default CM kernel. People are experiencing random freezes with Dorimanx.

And photosphere is not working AFAIK.

But seriously, do some reading. AND READ OP, since you are coming from another ROM.

I just switched back to 3.2 and dorimanx 7.26 because it's most stable for me.

I can't remember anyone got this problems with 3.2 and 7.26. You are sure you made a full wipe, the correct rootbox version for your phone (p/g?), the correct gapps...?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kelyiu3000:
Thanks for reply me.

I know 3.2 should be the most stable version but I make sure a full wipe, not P and g of i9100 and the correct gapps.

Is the modem make the system not stable? I am using 4.0.4 modem with rootbox 1.8 which is very stable to me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dani01c:
I never got a single freeze with v3.2 and dori v7.26 man. In fact I'm even considering going back to that set up just for stability. Even though the bugs that I'm facing are stupidities like audio quality on Bluetooth and missing features like bln and stweaks because with the latest nightly and latest dori kernel I freezes.
