[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Empedox:
Hello, I'd like a PM as well if you don't mind. I successfully root the phone and flash ROMs, but I can never reboot the phone as I get stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" splash screen. It doesn't matter which ROMs I try I can only reboot the phone successfully when it's un-rooted and stock. I've un-rooted before, but now I'm stuck on the same splash screen with 'stock firmware tars.'
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Forgetfull:
I'd like instructions too please. I need to return it since the bluetooth doesn't pair with my car like the s3. It's rooted with CWM and running clean rom.

From another non-virtual partitioned ROM:

Make sure you have the latest OFFICIAL TWRP installed.

Backup current ROM if desired

Back up EVERYTHING on your internal SD card to your computer (the internal SD card WILL BE ERASED in the next step).

In TWRP, go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> check Internal Storage -> press on "Repair or Change File System" -> press on "Change File System" -> press on "EXT4", and then swipe to start formatting the internal SD card. This can take up to a minute.

Wipe Data, Cache and System.

Copy the newest version of my TWRP recovery to your device and flash it.

After that is finished, go back to the main menu, then go to Reboot and press on Recovery.

Once the device has rebooted back into TWRP recovery, goto mount then uncheck and recheck data.

Copy and flash the new ROM and your GApps package to your device and flash

Reboot system

Connect your phone to your computer and copy back your backed-up internal SD card data to the internal SD card.

Repartitioning is completed. Enjoy your 8GB of additional app storage space.

From CM13.0, CM12.1 or another virtual partitioned ROM:

Hey [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION],

If you want BLN in your next build just redirect either the manifest or local manifest (I'm not sure which it would be with paranoid because I've never built PA before) to the cm-10.1 branch of my STABLE kernel. It's pure stock with my BLN commit so It wouldn't be any different than the CM kernel repo except for the BLN. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
I went researching; it's definitely not just dual carrier towers you're connecting to and can support up to 48 mbps (24/48 currently and up to 84 mbps moving forward); also, is better for building penetration (as noted by a user previously).

So, it would be awesome to see it fully working in Lollipop if at all possible.

AOSPA 5.1

New build. Here is AOSPA 5.1, if coming from another ROM I suggest you clean flash. The ROM is currently in the same state as PA 5.0, no major features are present yet. They'll come soon. Also, the CM ThemeEngine isn't present yet, but it should be ready next build. As before, this doesn't come with root so you'll need to flash SuperSU, and backuptool isn't working so next update you'll need to flash all packages again (ROM, GApps, SuperSU, etc). Links are all on the first page.

NOTE: Builds will happen less frequently since I'm busy with some other stuff.

headphone jack and sound

I have sound until I plug in headphones, then all audio files and videos fail to play,

no sound after unplugging either, only way to fix is reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] codezion:
Thanks for the ROM. I just installed it on my phone to test it out.

I may be missing something obvious but is there a way to mute the phone during call? When I am in call, I see the mute button but it is greyed out for some reason.

Thanks again!

Unless I did something wrong, 3g data not working for me on newest build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] resetreflectt:
For some reason it works on the first bootup after installing the Rom, but if I turn it off at all or if I hit reboot, it's just black after the Samsung logo. Did I do something wrong?

Essentially when I first install it, it works, and I can use it and mess around in Android, but the moment that I turn it off it won't work if I try to turn it on. The Samsung logo flashes for a second or two and then it just goes black. I can still get into recovery and if I flash the Rom again it'll work, but again if I turn it off it breaks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Adan_Jr:
I've been using this ROM for the past couple of days, I'm a middle of the road user, I either check my phone or browse an app for about a half hour. My battery life is less than perfect, I get about 3-6 hours on a single charge.

I turned on airplane mode to take an exam, and the battery use dramatically decreased.

Maybe the cellular radios take up WAY too much battery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Adan_Jr:
For me, there's a short delay between the logo and the boot. Try waiting a little longer. Also, if I hold the power button while the logo is up, it shuts back down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] resetreflectt:
Yeah I woke up and it suddenly worked a few seconds after it went black, so I guess I just have to be patient and hope it turns on most of the time. I'm okay with it though, anything is better than my Galaxy Nexus. My dad got an S5 so I decided to give his S2 some new life and root it last night. This phone has definitely aged better than the GNex.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talksickisil:
Is there something you have to do to get mobile data working? Or am I the only one with the issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] resetreflectt:
This ROM is absolutely fantastic, it honestly gave this phone new life. Great work. So far there's really only one bug I've noticed that can be rather annoying. When I have headphones in, if I leave the music app, the audio switches from the headphones to the speaker
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
New builds out.

Changelog:

- QS Reorder feature

- QS: Immersive mode tile

- Misc bug fixes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ugzz:
Love the build. Any chance of getting on screen button control? Right now you can enable and disable but your stuck with default settings. I need to switch one of the press and hold commands to menu. I'm noticing some lolipop builds and it and some don't. And some have no on screen button support yet.

SRS tho. You have rocked my socks off. Getting this on the herc is sick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talksickisil:
Excellent work on the latest build. The sweep to wake and sweep to sleep are awesome. With two button sensitivity it actually functions usefully. Best implementation I've seen on the herc. Mobile data is still intermittent for me. Can somebody PLEASE tell me what I need to do to get it working properly? Please? Pretty pretty please? I'm starting to think my posts have gone unseen. I'm hoping I get a response from somebody. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stryder1587:
Is this version stable enough for daily use? If not, what are the current "best" ROMs?

I'm currently running PA 4.6BETA5, and haven't upgraded in a long time. Noticed it getting slower so I wanted to wipe and get a clean flash. I don't need factory reset since I'm flashing from 4.6 right? Just download this, the new GAPPS and go?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
PA 4.6 was KitKat so I recommend you do a clean flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stryder1587:

WOW! This lollipop Rom gives the S2 new life ! It performs very well on this phone, surprisingly. My Galaxy S4 starting having major issues recently so I'm using my old S2 temporarily. This ROM makes the phone demotion almost unnoticeable. Good work !

Hi, I just installed this rom and am loving it so far! However, does anyone know if there's a way to make quick settings only come down with a full pulldown instead of always showing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rk0:
Data is broken for me.

Works when screen's locked, but shows a exclamation mark when unlocked.

Clean install. Latest Tmob Radio/Recovery, etc, etc.

Other than that, great job. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
Can you get me log after the disconnect? I need both logcat and a radio log.

You can get the log on a PC by doing "adb logcat -d > log.log" and "adb logcat -d -b radio > radio.log". Or use the Catlog app and in it's settings, enable the Radio log buffer, and then save a log.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pjedi:
Weird.. I also have the SGH-T989D but using the Telus firmware, on the WIND network. I have no problems with my data.

Maybe try installing the Telus firmware? Not sure why you Koodoo people are having problems.

Awesome! but is there any way to turn-off Notification Drawer Quick Full Down? :good: :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Data fixed? Count me in! Setting it up now and one thing I noticed a HUGE difference with was installation of apps, they are installing 3X faster than any other LP ROMs I have tried before. Let's see what the day brings with this one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] arusiasotto:
Yup. Takes a minute to swap from WiFi to data, but once it's on it stays on. And I also noticed the apps installed rapidly and I haven't had to reboot once. Mind you I went back to stock and original pit, as I didn't know if that might have been fragging other roms. Now how about that aosp WiFi calling ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Man I have to say Bryan has done a fantastic job with this one (and Sultan with his kernel in this ROM). Things are very fast and (so far) stable. No RRs unless some apps get updated in Play which is normal for LP based on when I tried LP before. Data is indeed working and WiFi performance is waaaay better than I was getting. One downer is that Viper will no longer work with these latest commits and probably never will as the developers have abandoned app development. If that's the worst thing that happens I'll deal with it as Neutron sounds good on it's own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obscuresword:
Viper as in Viper4Android?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
That's correct unfortunately. BTW notification and ringtones do not show up in settings. Tried a few things with no luck. Am I missing a trick here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ulibube:
SELinux support is spectacular, thanks so much. I wasn't even hoping this would ever happen.

Mobile data looking good to me so far.

Audio recording volume/sensitivity is too low to be of much use. This is an issue with Sultan's kernel. The issue does not exist in the 5.1.1 Candy ROM/Kernel. It also did not exist in early versions of Sultan's Kernel from last November or so.

I had one hang on boot (Paranoid animation spinning forever, then froze when I plugged in a USB cable to my computer). Could not get any logging, but will try again the next time it happens.

Edit: Having frequent hangs on reboot. The bad part is that the next boot after the reset predictably re-runs dexopt on every single app, which takes a half hour or so ("Optimizing app x of y"). Hangs only happen when I'm not logging to the console via adb. Happen with and without data cable connection. Cutting out the dexopt re-runs would be valuable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obscuresword:
Noooo lol. I'm going to look at it later then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Well like I said, if Viper doesn't get any more updates, it is never going to work again with any future LP ROMs. Can't say I was surprised because I know how CM is always changing commits and if devs don't keep up most of the time their apps become extinct. I'm not that upset because A. I will now save more battery without media server running all the time and B. once I move to another phone that has LP this was going to happen anyway. What really sucks is that Neutron doesn't work at all with AudioFX either.

On the other side of the coin, I am loving the theme choices I now have and after 2 hours SOT I had 40% still left. That is by far superior to KK.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Custom Ringtones and Notifications

OK so apparently this is a common LP problem from what I've researched, yet somehow this has only come up once in the S2 LP threads with no answer, least that I have seen. Despite the low user count around here I still find that to be totally odd and evidence of very little productive feedback sans for "data doesn't work, "data doesn't work" and one more "data doesn't work" . Now that I got that off my chest, with some trial and error for the last couple hours there is a way to get your custom notifications and ringtones to show up. It's a little weird but it works. What you need to do is delete the contents from both folders on your SD card (not the ones in the system/media folder but SD card 1). Have them backed up in another location first! Then copy them back to those same folders again. Name one file in each folder with the extension "Notification" and "Ringtone" (i.e. cricketNotification.ogg in the notifications folder and UmbrielRingtone.ogg in the ringtones folder). Reboot the phone. Then go back into settings/sound and look at notifications and ringtones again. Voila, now they ALL show up. I do want to note just simply using a media scanner without rebooting will not get the files to show up, you have to reboot after this procedure.

A tip from Google search gave the idea, what was different was the person suggested renaming every file after removing and then replacing the files. I had no intention of doing that needless to say so I found another way. Hope this works for others who have this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
My ringtone shows up but my notifications don't. I usually just copy/paste the notification to the internal memory, after a reboot it shows up.

Anyone know what's up with storage in settings. We don't have usb options anymore when connecting to PC? No option when unplugging and the PC doesn't have 'eject' option!?

The stock alarm clock works, but only has simple ringtones for the alarm. Guess I'll have to get an app for that.

Awesome ROM Bryan! :)

Edit: I'm back to KK. I fully charged the phone and let it sleep without the charger and by morning it was dead (no gapps installed).
