I had some free time today so I thought I'd give RC2 another try, with the kernel fix provided. Everything is just as great as before, with one exception. PIE FCs when you try to use it for some reason. Anyway I just turned off immersive mode and I don't need PIE anyway. Turned on expanded desktop with Omni Switch and I have the same thing basically.

Also battery life with this kernel is amazing. After two hours screen, Viper and 2 hours of GoneMad music player I have around 36% battery. Normally it'd be about 20% after all that.

Hell I was that the last couple months man (and not by choice either)! Technically it doesn't count when you are just updating. :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raptor170:
Are you running art again with rc2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Yes, and I think I will run ART as default from now on on this ROM. Hopefully PA will do that in the future so when a clean flash is required the long reboot will not be necessary.

On a side note I did away with OKJ as that script has become terribly dated and I'm going to try Fly On Mod for a bit as that dev always keeps his scripts current.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Never heard of that script.

Quick question, did you patch services.jar before flashing fly on mod, or did you just flash the mod, thanks

Edit: I flashed both the patch and fly on mod, first boot was horrible lol, had google search has stopped and kept flashing it, I had to do battery pull to restart phone. But seems to be running OK after rebooting

Heres the stock gapps I'm using

Works perfect! Make sure do clean install, wipe everything except internal and external SD, flash ROM than gapps. Use latest twrp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I'm sorry I couldn't answer you sooner or I would have said don't bother with patching services.jar. The only memory management needed for this ROM can be done using Trickster. Really not big fan of a memory management script whether it's V6 or the one included in Fly On. Does more harm than good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raptor170:
No worries, thanks for the reply back, ya with the patch I've had to pull battery twice already, once after install and once while downloading from play store :(

I'll just keep it like this until update, if next update no good, at leat we have the super solid rc2 update, which I'll prob leave as is other than switching to art :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwyman:
Been running RC2 for three days now and I have to say this ROM is solid. Battery life was average at first but after switching to ART I am able to go all day without having to charge.

AOSPA v4.4 Final

New update. In this release Android 4.4.4 has been merged. ParanoidAndroid 4.4 no longer has the beta or RC tags and can be called stable. In this release the VolumePanel has been redesigned to be inline with Hover. Bugs from the previous releases (swipe up using PIE, Camera issues, clear-all in recents) have been squashed.

Thanks Mr. Bryan.

That was excellent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cdnron:
I don't mean to seem impatient, just wondering when the new builds will be online. I notice on the mirror download site the 20140625 build is still listed and many people have downloaded it after you warned not to use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
"Unfortunately, camera has stopped working" on newest build but I guess I got the 0625 one. I don't think that has anything to do with SD mounting does it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cdnron:
The camera app by default stores pictures to the internal SD so that could very well be the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
True. I guess I can wait a few hours for the official release. Thanks.

did a OTA update to the 4.4 Final and i'm also having issues with the camera.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Newbee85:
It doesnt look like the new build mentioned is up yet. Both places still show just the 20140625 release as the last available....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cdnron:
That's because the latest FINAL hasn't been uploaded yet. It's still the flawed 20140625 build so that's why you're having camera issues.

Yeah, it looks like it's been pulled from Goo but not the mirror host.

Confirmation of sdcard not mounting and a thank you

I can confirm newest 4.4 USB internal memory (sdcard0) not mounting on my T989 either. Sony have external sdcard to test if that can mount.

Your recovery and ROM access the hardware separately folds your hardware works and is there so Recovery (CWM, TWRP, Pete's builds) doesn't matter still will access it.

There maybe a bug or code change in how Google addresses the sdcard (again for bout 6th time).

I DO NOT have the time nor have I been keeping up with newest Android coding sadly so I personally don't have time to look personally.

I AM SURE the developer marinating this awesome paranoid fork will be able to work on it when they can, in the meantime, just confirming findings, and of course if I get time to play I will report any fixes or further clarification of the root issue ASAP :)

MUCH LOVE TO THE MAINTAINER THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR MAINTAINING NEWEST PARANOID ON MY T989 CONSTANTLY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW THANKFUL I AM FOR THESE BUILDS :).

I am sure we'll figure this out like always :beer:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
Fix works for the camera but still cannot access my external SD card through any file explorer. Also, once you enable nav bar, capacitive buttons won't work again which is understandable.

Overall, solid, solid build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Thanks for letting everybody know this. IMHO I can't see this build as "solid" then. The fact the SD card (internal or external depending on what you read in various forums) is not accessible makes this release unusable. 95% of the users here need their SD cards.

That said, RC2 is extremely solid as I've stated previously. This is the best state my phone has been in since I purchased it in December. I'm sure once the 4.4.4 stuff gets ironed out things will get even better. PAs work is absolutely nowhere near as buggy as CM. In fact, most of the time when there are bugs it's because of CM base.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
Not trying to be a troll, but without CM this device is dead. Let's show a little respect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I get it, and I'm well aware of all other ROMs using CM base. It's actually ironic. I can tell you for a fact that common opinion, including mine, is that official CM ROMs tend to be very buggy. Read around here and other places. That's all I am going to say and I will leave it at that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I have access to my external SD card. I got the 0625 build and applied patch. So far perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danrodz:
Same here. 0625 + patch - no issues at all.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cdnron:
I can access my external SD card fine with the 20140625 build plus fix. What do you mean capacitive buttons won't work again? The nav bar option warns you that it will disable hardware buttons. If you disable nav bar, the capacitive buttons work again. If you're having issues with these, I'd suggest a wipe and reflash.

Noise

My wife complains that she hears an echo when talking to me, and that my voice is not clear. I have turned the headset volume down as low as it will go - it helps, but she still has echo. I remember when many of the Jellybean ROMS had a "noise reduction" setting that had to be ticked in order to clear stuff like this up. Is there some kind of setting that I'm missing here that would fix this? This ROM is just too awesome to have to go back... Thanks.

Battery life

The ROM works great and smooth. The only problem I'm having is horrible battery life now. I couldn't even get through the day on a charge and that's with light usage (unplugged at 7:00 AM). I'm going to switch it to ART since ArtfulDodger stated he had much better battery life with it.

Guys,

I decided to try this ROM and it's not working. Backstory: I had CWM as my recovery, i flashed TWRP using recovery flasher and everything was fine. I made a backup. I then did a full wipe\factory reset and installed the Rc2 zip. I mistakenly used the full stock PA gapps and the install failed . The phone boots up by showing the boot animation and then shows the message saying set unfortunaley isnt working. I tried to just install the PA zip and same thing. please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

You should be able to either restore your backup and try again or re-wipe and re-flash the ROM and Gapps.

My capacitive buttons also do not work but I am using the 20140626 version. I am just using the on-screen nav bar for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
You are using the the wrong version of the ROM, the 6/25 one has all the issues. I just flashed 6/26 and all SD cards mount just fine. Haven't had a chance to test other things yet.

Edit: Just tried capacitive lights and video recording (BTW love the fact the flash came on automatically when I switched to video camera in the dark, that has not happened before either). Works great. Peek is working all of a sudden too, whether it will work consistently IDK yet. Back to using nav bar now and that is fine, along with Hover. Good job with the fixes, apparently they did the trick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Recl@imer:
The back up didn't work either. I plugged it in my computer and copied the micro modular gapps and re-installed the rom with the smaller gapps and it worked. All good. Thanks again.

Gonna give this another try, despite all the previous bugs and likely flash this with Wildkernel v003 first before using stock kernel

Btw, the mirror link in the first OP seems to have 'malicious software' as labeled by my desktop chrome right as the zip download finishes. Should I be wary of that as I've simply redownloaded the zip with Chrome's phishing detector feature off or just ignore it and flash anyway?

I've been using nothing but the latest CM 11 nightlies for several weeks and I can't complain. Right now I am on the June 29th nightly. Yes, there have been some bugs, but eventually they get ironed out. I did flash the June 20h Carbon and that was super smooth. I flashed the latest Evervolv and removed it. Validus 5.2 was too buggy for me. So, CM 11 it is. Ultra themed. All black and white. Very stable. And for now, I just might stick with it. No offense to PA. I just don't want to deal with setting up a new rom right now. My interests lately have been with themeing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danrodz:
I've had no issues with art whatsoever and the speed/smoothness in the interface is noticeable. My only quibble is that it seems my apps have grown substantially in size. Not sure if that is an art issue. I also have the mediocre battery life but I'm hoping that will improve with the next few builds. Still, ROM rates a solid A from me.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Hercules
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SilentStray:
Same here, battery life seems OK now with ART. However apps have completely taken over the space allocated to them. I had to use ROM Toolbox Pro to change the the default APP installation to the internal SD (the 11+GB one) which has helped a little, the app still installs in both locations but with the majority of the APPS data going into the Internal SD now.

As I know. ART expands apps for instant access. It's the only downside of switching over to it only due to the 2GB limit for apps on the T989.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
To be truthful, I have noticed zero difference in app performance with ART vs. dalvik. No difference in battery either. The intention of ART is to give those kinds of results but hasn't happened here. I did end up putting G+ on the internal SD card as that app alone was beginning to really eat up valuable real estate. Also I didn't realize the internal space difference with ART vs. dalvik until I compared both this week. About 200 to 300mb difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
So basically, besides "improved application performance" which wasn't present for me either, ART for our device (or for PA at least) basically has no actual advantages over dalvik? :p

No difference in battery for me either. I feel like apps open faster and things are smoother but that could be my imagination.

AOSPA v4.42

Latest build is up. Builds were skipped last week due to compiling errors. This build is mostly a maintenance release. No major features were added; just some bug-fixing. However, Settings was restructured for legacy devices. Most of the device-specific/CM settings were moved to the Legacy Parts menu. On the kernel side, there are charger patches to allow an increase in charging speed and to allow deep sleep when charging.
