wifi troubles

I installed rc1 and it worked fine so I installed wild kernel, and everything worked fine for about an hour, then suddenly on a reboot the wifi will not connect, doesn't find anything close to the number of access points I have locally, and won't connect to my wifi. I try manually adding it and it fails saving the connection info. I try forgetting any access point and it fails to forget them. I toggle wifi off and back on and it doesn't turn back on. A reboot will turn it back on, but still have the connection problems. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raptor170:
I don't think wild plays nice with this ROM I would just flash ROM and gapps and that's it

No need for anything else.

Love the update and you can apply more themes with the update as well. Also I'm running stick kernel and I love this new build. I'd flash it and oh, first time ever but running ART with no issues. This ROM sleeps like a baby.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raptor170:
Nice nice, this update seems stable making nandroid now and flashing 4.4.3 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mycars12:
you can try reflashing the kernel but i believe what the others had said is true, but its worth a try
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Which version of the kernel are you flashing? .002???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RebelebeR:
Yes, I tried flashing 1 first but the flash failed so I got 2 and flashed it successfully, and it worked for a bit. I'm not even sure if the kernel is the problem. I did a dirty flash of rc1 so the kernel would get replaced, and still no happiness. I guess tonight I will just wipe and reinstall from scratch and not flash wild kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
I had the 7/4 build with wild kernel. I then flashed ROM, gapps, some inverted apps, then wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RebelebeR:
I really don't need to overclock the rom so I'll just ditch wild and do it again after work tonight. If nothing else it will help me find out what is causing it. I suspect it is the kernel because if I go over 1723 my phone freaks and reboots. Thanks for the help.

hey i intalled RC1 and then gapps and my phone says system partion was full... so i formatted system and tried again... this time it worked.:cowboy:

the rom and gapps was susscessfully installed. however now my phone won't start up... it flashes the samsung t989 screen and then goes black...:crying:

i can get into recovery with the hardware buttons but the phone won't boot up, anyone had something similar happen?:confused::confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
Nope, there aren't any.

Its a known issue. Change it through the launcher for now.

What recovery are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brons2:
If you wiped system partition, you wiped the ROM you just installed. So unless you went back and installed it again before installing gapps, your phone won't boot because you have no ROM.

I had the same problem with it saying the system partition was full so I mounted USB while I was in recovery and downloaded the micro gapps from the PA site on goo.im, the micro worked fine but gives you less Google stuff out of the box, guess I will just have to go back and install them manually. Fine with me if this works better than my last ROM, which was definitely not liquid smooth, if you catch my drift.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tb5...:
6.0.4.3

i installed it successfully after i formatted system and i did end up installing the mini version from PA official gapps thread.

So I have flashed the UVMC6 Radio, but I am getting an error when installing the rom itself. This is the error:

E: Error in /emmc/Download/pa_hercules-4.4-RC1-20140610.zip

(Status 7)

Aborted.

This is an issue with the fact that the phone thinks the rom isn't for my phone, when it definitely is, yeah? If so, what can I do to fix it?

Running Koodo Galaxy S2X SGH-T989D 4.04.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] izi975:
What recovery and what version are you using? I see you are still on ICS, if you haven't updated recovery, that should be your first step.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CooperOrosz:
I'm gonna be honest here, I have very little knowledge when it comes to root. After trying to install the aforementioned ROM, my phone wouldn't boot. I made a backup, and I am restoring now.

I am using CWM Recovery V 5.0.2.7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] izi975:
You need to update as per OP "ROM Firmware Required: Latest Radio & Recovery (TWRP 2.6.1.0+ or CWMR from TC)". That is why you are getting the error. It is quick process, once you update the recovery, you need to shut down and boot back into it, than you can flash the room and gapps. Also make sure you have proper gapps ready to prevent FCs.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CooperOrosz:
Thank you very much with all the help! I should be good to go from here!

Edit: How do I go about updating CWMR? Just flash the Galaxy S2 T-Mobile ROM from the CWM site?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] izi975:
No problem. Have fun with new rom.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Just flashed the latest update and all is well so far a couple hours later. Also a small glitch was fixed that I didn't mention before. In QS tiles, the texts of the different settings are no longer "mashed up" when using a theme. Before I would have to press the small squares a couple of times to get the titles to not be mangled after each boot.

It's worth noting I did not update Gapps, no problems have arisen from that glad to say.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
I'll just do a clean install. This ROM is badass.

Camera isn't working in this ROM for some reason. Flashing 4.2 camera didn't help, neither did Camera Zoom FX
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Edubyah:
Was just looking at how old our only other PA build was. Thank you, thank you very much. One question though why are gapps bigger than ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
Problems include the Camera not working and for me at least, the captivate keys being laggy. When I press the app launcher, it doesn't launch sometimes and you have to repetitively press it and it eventually comes up. This applies to everything at the bottom of the screen as it's very unresponsive. Didn't have this problem on the previous ROM.

Edit: The second problem is fixed when you disable PIE under settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jjcgolf72:
Yep, no camera here. Installed the link provided on camera and did fix permissions and still no camera.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
Unfortunately, it looks like the camera app doesn't like the new toolchain so I had to go back to an older version. New link in the OP. The camera should work now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: Also for those who are wondering, the GApps are bigger then the ROM because PA includes more apps in the GApps package.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chosen_on184:
It seems with PIE activated, wherever you have it launching from that part of the screen becomes unresponsive which sucks because I would love to try this out for a solid month to see how more convenient it is than regular notification bar.

Now questions

Can i not change the color of the halo circle .. or make it translucent ?

Also using netflix app and its still there when viewing a show or movie, so it would be great if i could make it translucent.

Also if/when notifications come in the icon appears or it lights up red or blue for a sec to let you know its there. (just an idea)

Still learning this rom, has a ton of features not in CM so taking some time to get used to them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
Is there a way to delete apps from the GAPPS? I uninstall most of them and when your updating every day, it can become a hassle. So can I just delete the .apk file and flash that or would it cause FC's?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Edubyah:
I was hoping we could use it on the side or something but I can't handle the keyboard not working on the bottom, had to disable PIE. Lovin' HALO though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KDJewl:
I tried flashing this and the Gapps, and the ROM booted fine..but i noticed my service would never stay; it kept dropping. I checked my APNs and service provider, all was well. I tries flashing the Koodo radio, no dice. Also, i didn't let the ROM sit for very long after booting, i was eager to try out Halo :p And i also tried the new PACRom with Halo, it gave me the same problem. How can i fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
hmm

Works fine. Halo is pretty cool. A little laggier than other rooms probably due to halo but everything works and I'm not having that signal issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Only thing missing is camera dang it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
I don't think you can change the color or make it transparent. However, you can hide it and add it back if you want.

You can just delete the app from the zip. Just make sure it's not one of the needed apps.

Try flashing the latest radio from your provider. If that doesn't work try the Telus or T-Mobile radio.

Camera should be fixed in the latest build.

I'm new to this ROM and so far it's working very well on my phone for the most part. Couple of things:

-The phone spontaneously reboots when you try to take a picture using the flash. It works fine when not using the flash. The other ROM I was using on this phone did this too. I also had this same problem using CM11 on my S3 when I was on Verizon. What gives? Is Samsung's camera hardware really that proprietary. Really annoying.

-How do I get back the Swype type writing on the Android style keyboard? Last rom had this. Maybe PA doesn't have it because I had to load a smaller version of Gapps? or maybe just need to load an APK for the default 4.4.3 keyboard?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raptor170:
Does the phone reboot every time you use flash? Ive been using flash no problem. Also Swype working here right from the get go. Did u clean flash or dirty?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brons2:
Yes, the phone reboots every time I use the flash.

I flashed clean, even formatted the system partition before installing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
For the keyboard, you can flash the Google Keyboard add on on the PA GApps page or install from the Play Store.

For the camera, the phone will reboot if you take pictures using flash when the battery is low.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CooperOrosz:
All good on getting TWRP installed, and flashing the rom and gapps worked well. Boots fine as well.

My only issue is when I tried turning on my Wifi it gets stuck on the "Turning on Wifi" status. I don't think it is an issue with the rom itself, because I restored and also tried CM11. Both get stuck in between wifi on and off. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brons2:
Correct on both counts. The phone is now charged 100% and I unplugged it and used the flash to take a picture under my desk, worked fine. And I downloaded the Google Keyboard from the Play Store, and changed to that as the default instead of the AOSP keyboard, and it's working fine.

Thanks.

AOSPA v4.4-RC2

New update. This update should squash most of the bugs that were present in the previous release. Chrome issues should be resolved and apps2sd should work again. Also, I increased the total amount of RAM and included the HTC MDP color enhancement feature (both credit to Sultanxda). I also enabled USB mass storage for those that want it.

Uploads to goo may take a while to show up, so you can use the mirror site instead (it's faster anyway).

Fix for Camera - RC2

There was an issue with the Camera due to the heap changes for the extra RAM. I've reset them back to how they were before which should fix the camera.

Flash the updated kernel below for the fix.

Download: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=6954
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Man I knew something was up with the camera, kept getting FCs with alternate camera apps. Also I hate to report I am getting a myriad of FCs with the update. Systemui has FCd once already when swiping up/down the notification drawer, XDA app FCs when scrolling, SM Manager FCs when I try to look in the download directory also. Even after closing & reopening the apps it still happens. Luckily I have my nandroid of RC1 which was darn near perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j_smith305:
Is this required if we're using the google camera?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
No issues here. Try clearing the app's cache & data. Also, a force close may occur when swiping up on PIE. As a temp fix, disable then re-enable the hardware keys. It should stop then.

Yes it is, or you might not be able to switch to video mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
That was one of the first things I tried, still happened. So it looks like in my case a clean flash would be needed to make this update work, IDK. Unless the kernel was causing the issues all along. I didn't try your kernel update since I'd already restored the backup. Since there are no significant changes in this update I will probably just use RC1 for a bit. Clean installs usually take a few hours in my case due to app restoration, edits, running ART, etc.
