TWRP is a recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] acidsulfurik:
yeah i know TWRP is a recovery but is it any different from CWM recovery?

can i flash the new dorimanx on this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] innomi:
Is it possible with nandroid to put back my apps and data? Or do I have to use titanium?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christiaan91:
Nandroid is making a backup from your entire phone so also your rom. If you want to update your rom and put your apps and data back you'll need titanium.

I've finished syncing my repo again with the updated CM code to fix the Modem issues. I'll compile it tongiht and release as soon as it's tested as V4.71.

Thanks again for your patience.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
Nice :) can't wait!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
New beta ROM uploading now. Who wants to beta test for me? first 3 to reply will be sent the link. Please only respond if you can test right away. I need to get to bed soon and would love to launch this before I do!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Beta ROM is ready, but no-one has responded and I need some sleep (12:30AM). I'll check in later and send the link to the first 3 people who are keen to test for me.

Cheers!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
You're a legend. Thanks mate!

I really need to get some sleep, but I'll check in when I wake up and see how you went. If all good I'll launch first thing in the morning.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
An extra wont hurt. PMing you the details now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
One more here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK. last one. Sending PM now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Ok sleep time. I'll check in in the morning to see how it went and launch if it's all good.

Please click thanks for the new beta testers! they're helping you all out :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
It's okay for the instructions ! Feedback ASAP.

And don't forgot : You're awesome ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pleistos:
Great Rom (combined with dark jelly bean theme, looks great), thank you for your hard work.

I have one little problem, installed the patched siyah kernel through aroma installer after gs2kernelwipe and even though everything seems to work great, I can't get BLN to work which is the reason why I changed the otherwise perfecty fine cm kernel. Has anyone else got it working?

ps: I also tried dorimanx, 9.28/9.29 without any success
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christiaan91:
Than you probably need to reinstall, because I had it working with 9.28.

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pleistos:
Really? Ok thanks, I'll try once more with gs2kernelwipe this time (didn't do that before flashing dori). Any other settings I should keep in mind? Blnww on/off? Some specific rom setting?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christiaan91:
First test results:

For initial beta testing I need the following:

* ROM Boots (check)

* Data connection(check) , Wi-Fi(check), GPS(check) , Bluetooth(check)

* MMS, SMS, Voice calls all work (can't check these, don't use them, sorry)

* Sound works (check)

* No Force Closes immediately noticeable (check)

* Camera works and is acceptable quality (check)

* ROM provides adequate system performance with no noticeable lag in the menu's etc (check)

* In particular, I need to know that you can make and receive calls correctly. (can't receive calls)

It's real smooth. The only problem is the calls, receiving and making a call. When making a call, nothing happens. Can't hear a calling tone and I can't hang up.

So I'm going back to my backup.

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks. Looks like no update for i9100 until further notice.

Sorry.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
I second this. Can't make calls,,just hangs and can't end also. But the system performance is brilliant! It feels very smooth and no random fc's
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christiaan91:
If you need testing or something else. Let me know.

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
* ROM Boots : OK ! ( first boot extremely long , don't know why )

* Data connection(check) , Wi-Fi ( OK ! ) GPS ( OK! ), Bluetooth (OK ! )

* MMS, SMS, ( OK !)

* Sound works (OK)

* No Force Closes immediately noticeable (OK)

* Camera works and is acceptable quality (OK)

* ROM provides adequate system performance with no noticeable lag in the menu's etc (system extremely smooth )

* In particular, I need to know that you can make and receive calls correctly. ( I can't receive calls , I can make it but when i want to hang , system became extremely laggy , reboot needed)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christiaan91:
I once had to reinstall the kernel and once the rom, so see whats working for you. The way you have your settings doesn't matter.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Just to clarify for everyone. the issues being discussed on the previous 2 pages were regarding the BETA of v4.71.

There is no issue with making or receiving calls in SentinelROM v4.60, which is the current release version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
I decided to take one more stab at getting this going.

Reply below if you're able to beta test for me and I'll send you the link. First 2 get the job.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
I'm here again :D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christiaan91:
Sorry at work right now. Can test for you when I'm home in about 8 hours, but then I hope it isn't a beta anymore:)

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
Okay , this is the same , i can't receive calls and i can't hang. But system is incredibly smooth , this is awesome :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
No good if it doesn't let you make and receive calls. I'm thinking it might be something with the new linaro toolchain as it seems to be kernel related.

I'll try a few more things later in the week.

Thanks for giving it a go.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
No problem :D

Don't give up bro :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Hey if you have time, can you try manually flashing the boot.img from v4.60 and let me know if that fixes it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christiaan91:
Let the beta testers flash a different kernel, like dorimanx. Then try if you can call.

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
that's not going to help me. I need to figure out if the changes in the kernel between versions are making the difference.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
It might help, if a kernel change fixes things, we can narrow down the problem to the kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
Sorry , this is not possible on GS2 ( I know you have Nexus) , there is no specific partition for bootloader and recovery , they are on the zimage , if I flash the boot.img alone , i'm going to hardbrick because there is no bootloader and recovery. :(

Edit : this is not kernel related , not working with Dorimanx ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
Hmm thanks for trying that for us!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK great. That gives me more to go on. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
Okay , hope you will find the problem ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK I'm rebuilding the ROM completely from scratch to see if I can figure this out. I'll have another beta to test before too long.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
Do you think this is RIL related ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'm not sure yet. Still trying to figure out exactly what's changed. it may also be an issue with Linaro 4.8 toolchain. The latest CM nightlies work as far as I'm aware, so my source should work also.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
Yes , this is strange , do you have made ROM optimisations between 4.60 and 4.70 ?

Maybe try to compile with the old linaro toolchain , to see if this is related ? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
I've started completely from scratch. Downloaded a totally fresh repo and made all my mods completely from scratch.

I'm compiling now and will test. If it still doesn't work I'll compile with Linaro 4.7 and check again. if it still doesn't work, I really have no idea, unless my vendor files are somehow not compatible with the latest source.

Anyway I need to get some sleep. it's 12:15AM and I have work in the morning. I'll tyr and get a new beta out before work if I can.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
Great :good:

I'm not working today , if you need beta tester , i'm here ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'll PM you when I wake up with the beta if I get time to put it together before work. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ephraim:
Last few months ago i tried extracting the boot.img from a cm10.1 zip and flashed it with mobile odin and it worked, it changed my kernel to the stock cm10.1 kernel. I think instead of a zimage cm team uses boot.img? Not sure about that, but flashing boot.img through mobile odin worked for me :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
Nice to read that :)

But , do you remember the size of the boot.img ?

Very nice and fast Rom. After trying many Roms for my S2, I stopped on yours because it's the more stable and fastest rom I've tried. Good battery life.

Good job ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
I've rebuilt the ROM from scratch overnight with a fresh repo. DvWatt is going to test today. If anyone else would like to test for me, reply below.

I want to test if it's ok for you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sending PM now with download link.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
It sounds like either you downloaded the wrong ROM for your device, or you got a bad download. Try downloading again. this seems to happen from time to time.

I assume you have correct custom recovery, etc.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crino:
i've downloaded 'sentinelrom_v4_40_i9100.zip' file and my device model is GT-I9100 (directly from settings) :?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
It must have just been a bad download.

Is this your first custom ROM? It could be something else isn't set up right. Maybe one of the other guys with a GSGII can help you out...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crino:
i checked the md5 and is corrected

No, but usually i used stock rom with custom kernel :?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Correct on your PC, or correct on your SD card of the phone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
I think it's Cwm fault..it's a bit old and could give some problems with jb installations.

As you're on JB,install latest "Philz kernel" and then try to install SentinelRom :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crino:
both, just verified
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks Mr_Zuff.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crino:
ok, i'm downloading [PhilZ-cwm6][i9100/P] v5.00.4 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+ext4-LSS ;)

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Ok! With the lastest PhilZ the error disappeared!

Thanks for support ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Transparent statusbar and center clock mods added to OP...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
Glad I helped! :)

[MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION] On the first battery cicle, the rom is very smooth and looks very nice. Also the battery seems very good: 2+ hours at 60% with almost 8 hours of usage ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Excellent!! Thanks for the feedback. if you could perhaps PM me some screenshots I can share them in the OP :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
If it's ok for you, I'll wait till this evening: screenshots are more reliable; and and can the rom deeply :D

Anyway, very good work with wi-fi drivers! I have a very small amount of wakelocks, nothing compared to Sammy based roms! :)

ps. Obviusly if you need them, I can send you screens in a couple of minutes! It's up to you :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Whenever you're ready mate. I'm about to head to bed anyway :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
Thanks for understanding :)

When I'll be about at 15-20%, I'll change phones language(italian is not accepted on XDA) and make the screens ;)

For now, nice sleeping! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Perfect. Thank-you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] trrz:
Excellent rom with very good battery!

I fully charged the battery at 100 %. Overnight I lost 1% (wifi, data off). At evening, the battery is still 80 %, with 11 hr of usage!! (meaning data & BT on)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marbutina:
With stock kernel?

My battery life, not the best with a little battery drain sometimes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rebels71:
Is there room for 1 more tester?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sure. last one though.

Will PM details now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ephraim:
It's roughly if not the same size as the kernel itself :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rebels71:
ROM is buttery smooth but unfortunately call problem still exists :'(

Can't call and receive.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK. I'll try compiling with linaro 4.7 tonight when I get home from work and see if that makes a difference. If that doesn't work, I'm officially stumped.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xubeiga:
Hi Sentinel! i'm trying out this rom, i'm using version 4.60 and its wonderful...if it stay fast and smooth how it is, it will be my main rom :D

just one question, when 4.7 comes out, will we need to wipe data, format system, etc? cause i dont want to config all phone now and have to lose it all :D

thanks in advance ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
I will give instructions if and when an update is released. I can't say now because I don't know what will be required. But I can tell you hat it's unlikely there will be an update any time soon, unless compiling with the old version of Linaro fixes the issues I'm having with the latest source.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] s2s2s2s2:
Yes. The phone hung while attempting to make phone calls after about a full battery cycle on the updated version. There was also battery drain still after two full battery cycles so I'm back with 4.6...which gives battery life like I've never seen before!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'm compiling again now with Linaro 4.7 to see if it makes a difference.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK it's now recompiled with Linaro 4.7.

Reply below if you'd like to test.

Are the latest CM nightlies defiantly working?

My guess is that there must be a change thats not working with the vendor files I'm using.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DvWatt:
Yes , phonecalls on lastest nightly are working.

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9100 avec Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'll download a nightly tonight and have a look to see if I can find what the difference is.

Sorry guys! I'm as frustrated as you are!

EDIT: I just had a look through the official CM changelogs and there was a change committed to the vendor files after i synced them.

I'll try re-syncing my vendor files this evening and see if it helps.

Determined to get to the bottom of this!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK I've downloaded the new vendor files and am compiling again now. I'm confident this time :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
Nice, with linaro 4.7 or 4.8?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
4.8. I'm confident linaro wasn't the issue as I recompiled before with 4.7 and still had the problem. These new vendor files should fix but we'll see once it's finished compiling in an hour or so.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
Hmm cool :) count me in as a beta tester! I'm eager to get this thing working, so I'm willing to do anything in my power
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Cool! I'll let you know when it's finished compiling.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:

Can't stand Touchwiz anymore, I need out! This looks great. However, download link for 4.60 is dead?

This ROM doesn't have touchwiz. it's AOSP.

EDIT: Sorry. I misread your post.

The download link is working for me?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Shanliang-:
I think he meant he wants to leave TouchWiz for good, so he considers your ROM a great option to do that. :)

BTW, I'm eager to see the results of the test of this last compilation you built. It's great to see your efforts to get to the bottom of this. :thumbup:

Good news! Calls are working :) brilliant work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
WOOHOO!!!!!!

2 days work finally paid off!! I'll launch now!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Great news guys!!!

I've fixed the issue with calls and SentinelROM v4.75 is here!

11/06/2013:-

v4.75 -

*Compiled with new Linaro 4.8 toolchain for additional performance boost.

*Updated to latest Mali graphics drivers for improved performance and stability.

*Updated to latest CM10.1 source (Android 4.2.2)

*Fixes to Camera

*Phone call and receive fixed

[NOTE: You must wipe your System and Dalvik caches after upgrading. GAPPS Must be re-installed after updating. Please view the instructions here.

A Massive thanks to all who assisted with beta testing over the past few days. I couldn't have done it without you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jiammy:
Hey you never give up!!! :D It's incredible how a person that does this for free in his free time with lots of stuff to do is tryin everything and never gives up, thank you for everything mate, you are the man!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks mate. I really enjoy doing this and a challenge is always good, as long as it can be solved. I've learned heaps through this experience too. so it's a win for everyone :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
Hey mate! Sorry if I'm late, but I had to cook for lunch and then I had to wash everything :D

Anyway, as other beta testers said, the Rom is brilliant and phone calls are working ;)

Other than that, Gps lock in 10-15 sec, wich is good, and wifi seems ok(I saw no disconnections) :)

Can I keep the "beta" rom? Or should I change to the "official" one? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the feedback mate.

In this case the beta I sent you was identical, so no need to reflash :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
Just a thought, consider integrating halo! I'm sure a lot of users here would appreciate it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Please read my post on Facebook. I'm not going to integrate Halo. it's a battery killer and lagger.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shreyasdilip:
Oh well.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Joomlad:
tried new version. still have game freeze issue.. will this ever be fixed??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
The freezing issue has been put down to specific hardware. It doesn't occur for everyone. Only those with more sensitive hardware. For this reason I doubt it will ever be "fixed".
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Joomlad:
strange, ive tried it with 2 different phones, both freeze in games... kinda frustrating... oh well i applaud your effort but without game functionality i cant use rom.. btw carbonrom has the games freezing issue pegged, maybe they know something more?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
It wqas discussed a few pages back. I could adjust the voltages and CPU scaling to "fix" it, but then the performance and battery life would be decreased. As it stands I think this is the better option. Unfortunate because it's only affecting a handful of people.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Joomlad:
how much do u think the preformance/battery life would be decreased? and is it something i may be able to adjust myself? i really like ur rom and would like to test it out further
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Well the ebst place to start is by using a custom kernel that allows you to adjust voltages and clock speeds.

Try increasing the voltage slightly at all steps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] burninghouse:
REGARDING GAME FREEZE ISSUE..

i had used all the versions of this rom except latest version and i had never experienced even a single freeze in any game...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pawan1993:
Hey man is the kernel compiled with the Linaro toolchain as well? Also do you use the -O3 flag to compile?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Shark13012:
Am I the only one having trouble with colors ?

My white is light blue, clock is slightly aliased, settings background is not a clean gradient, ...

This problem was not present under v4.60.

I tried to install bravia engine 2, but nothing more...

EDIT : problem solved.

Wiping data is mandatory (I followed the OP on your official website)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] e2zippo:
:D

I've been all over these last few months, mainly on JellyBAM, but it's gotten to unstable due to all the stuff he keeps putting in. I'll give 4.75 a go right now, can't stay sway from AOSP :)

Cheers!
