Thank you for the respond. Yes, my APN is correct, but it doesn't seem to connect at all.

I went to Setting>Device>Advanced and at "Radio", I selected "HSDPA+HSUPA".

Is that alright?

It didn't work for me, mate.

Edit: It's working now. APN problem. :D

Hi all, I'm currently using 2.20 w dori 7.1 after full wipe. Can see a significant improvement over 2.18.

However I'll like to report a problem here since I still can't post in the developers section yet.

Gallery will crash when I try taking a photo w the front cam. The back cam works fine though, so I doubt it's an issue w my dpi settings for gallery.

Just for info, I have it at 144 and have tried setting to default but problem still persists.

Other than that, it's definitelty an incredible rom! Using it as my daily driver now. :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybernetus:
I had this crash too , but only one time.

You try change the DPI for gallery app ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rinkoui:
Yup, I've tried changing it to 160. 180. 240, cleared gallery data but it doesn't help.

But it's ok since I don't use the front cam much anyway.

Hope the next version clears this up somehow.

media scanner

good evening :)

sorry if this been asked before, i did search but i found too many solutions which are the results r inconsistent

so i just want to make sure here

i just flashed PA 2.20 yesterday (its my first JB rom) and i noticed b4 that jb has media scanner bug which draining lots of battery

and makes gallery unable to see old pic/media

so far the only fix for the battery draining is stopping the media scanner service using "rescan media root"

but that makes gallery unusable (no media at all in it) so i cant use any "all share" type app to my TV

so here's the question

is there any fix yet that i don't know or its still a known bug?

coz other than this prob i really love this rom, so smooth and fast :)

thank u for reading n sorry if its been asked before, just need a clarification

cheers~

Hi guys, two question:

1) How do you actually delete the boot.img file and skipped the flashing kernel part when flashing update? i forgot was it you or another bro that mentioned editing the updater.script file and delete some lines in the file. I tried deleting these lines as suggested but always received bad file error when flashing:

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"),

delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

2) How do you customize the zip file before flashing? ie like deleting some apks manually from the file and then flash it? last time I used to be able to add in or minus some files directly from the zip and then flash. but recently when i did the same way, the file became bad for flashing? must i unzip them, make the changes, zip them back, and flash? or?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybernetus:
I have this problem too in the past and i solve this cleaning my sdcards.

Here the steps

TO the internal sd card:

1. Backup all the files you need ( for this I use the USB Storage option of siyah kernel on the recovery ( mounts and storage -> mount usb storage )

2. Go to the recovery ( if you isn't still here )

3. Mounts and storage -> format internal storage

4. Copy all files of your backup to the internal storage ( using the cwm usb storage or rebooting your phone to your android ROM ).

To the external sd:

1. I turned off my phone

2. Get my sdcard

3. Copy all the files I need to my computer

4. Use the gparted ( on linux ) to format the sdcard

5. Mount the sdcard

6 Copy all of my files to this sdcard

7. Put on phone and turned on again

PA 2.21 stuck at boot logo

hi to all...

i've got a problem after upgrading from PA 2.18 to PA 2.21.

I had PA 2.18 with Dorimanx kernel 7.1 and all worked fine.

Then i upgraded to PA 2.21 (installed ROM, GApps 4.1.2, cleared cached and dalvik cache, than reflashed Dorimanx 7.1 just to be sure..)

rebooted and all went fine.

but at next reboot it stucked at boot logo.

I hava a second ROM (Sammy stock) that I can boot into flashing "old" Siyah 4.1.5, and it works fine.

So I tried to reflash both PA 2.21 and new Dorimanx 7.2, but my phone wont boot... always at boot logo.

Tried also resetting Ex-tweaks profile and deleting init.d script (even if I haven't).

Is there something i can do to check if it's all ok?

May I post some file to help troubleshooting?

I'd prefer non to full-wipe, but if it's the only solution I'll do...

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neur0tek:
i'm experiencing something strange as well

installed PA 2.21 from 2.15

installed gapps 4.1.2

cleared cache / dalvik / reset permissions

phone will attempt to boot then restarts into recovery mode

just for some experimenting, i restored the nandroid back-up for PA 2.15 prior version (all good), and then:

installed PA 2.21

cleared cache / dalvik / reset permissions

restarted phone

the new version of PA booted with no issue but of course there was no gapps, so i re-download the current gapps file (to be safe) went into recovery mode and installed it from there (cleared caches / set permissions), only to run into the same issue in that the phone only boots into recovery mode. so i just restored the prior version.

seems in my case the gapps file is the issue, unless of course it's me but i can't see where i'm going wrong.

any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
Did you delete the old version of gapps when you downloaded the latest version?

If not, the 2 versions could be pulling conflicts against each other.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laki81:
tried to install PA 2.12 and NOT gApps..

but the result is the same...

i'm thinking to full-wipe...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0boiboi0o:
Well, full wipe is of cos the best I occasionally do full wipe to make sure my system is clean (including formatting of both internal and external sd card). :D

anyone else tried the latest Gapps?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neur0tek:
if you mean did i delete the older zip file from the SD card, yes. if you mean did i uninstall / delete the older version of the gapps android OS, i'm not sure how.

the gapps file i'm trying to flash is 'gapps-jb-20121011-signed' it's the only one on the SD.

thanks for the quick reply.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
Yes, I meant to delete the older zip file, but as that hasn't worked I suggest downloading the previous version instead. So 'gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip'.

I don't think there's much difference anyway.

The next PA update will probably make the newest gapps compatible anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neur0tek:
just tried with the older gapps and same result. now it's peaked my curious nature.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

success!

for some odd reason i need to flash the gapps twice. i flashed a second time after the first reboot to recovery mode and it worked.

the most recent gapps file will most likely work, i'll just wait for the next PA update to flash the new gapps (not much new in the current version as you state)

does anyone know where i can find the original kernel from this rom? I flashed the KKO X kernel but im having issues with it. Or is there a way to make a backup without saving the kernel? I used team win recovery to make a backup to save my settings and apps, then re-flashed the PA 2.21 rom, and then restored from the backup but i want to keep the original kernel.

To get your original kernel again you need to flash again the ROM or search on xda about the cm 19 original kernel zip to flash on your ROM :)

Is it possible to get it on the external sd card some how? I've looked it the system settings and I can't really find it anywhere :(

It's been a few days that my battery acting crazy!

At random times the percentage increases by 1% without plug my phone on charger or into my pc.
