I'm not trying to be rude but the model is in my signature. Yes it is the right ROM, stock and other custom ROMs never did this though. I see others are having the same issue. Any fix for this dev?

Try other radios from the stickies. Pretty sure that is it because this rom is ****ing awesome! Flawless so far

Sometimes on multi tasks it crushes, but I dont blame the rom this phone is outdated xD

My bad. Sorry for trying to help. It won't happen again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cdnron:
I blame the ROM, it's still in beta, it's going to have bugs. We have to report these bugs for them to get fixed. It's not because the phone's outdated. Some older phones have pretty solid KK ROMs. KK is optimized to run better on older devices, not like the manufacturers will actually do this though. Test and provide free KK update on older hardware or sell more handsets? I think you know what route the handset makers will take.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nabilbek:
you are completely right. kk was actually meant for lesser devices but ... good developers always get the new phones. they forget about these old phones. But it feels good to still have amazing developers like this one xD

but again, the team gets smaller... hence more bugs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] e20140:
This is the least buggy Kitkat rom if you ask me. I've not experienced crash from multi-tasking yet. I get UI crash from using immerse mode, anyone have the same issue? I did change my DPI to 200 via build-pop. I also tried DPI 213, but that cause other issue. Wonder if none of you have this problem, I might think it's because of the DPI setting. I am using Nova launcher.

Short range bluetooth is a common issue across all kitkat. Maybe the developers want to save battery, haha.

Looking forward to the next release.

Reporting bugs makes the dev aware of them for sure, but you can't count on a fix without a logcat. Even then there's no guarantee of a fix.

If you want something fixed get a logcat.

How to toggle floating notifications, etc.

I recently wiped and started from scratch with the B2 build. Sometime after install and boot, I was prompted a few times about turning on floating/hover notifications and some other things. However, I am not able to find where to configure this. It might be causing me some responsiveness and launcher crash issues with the status bar pulldown.

Is this all covered with the immersive toggle?

Thanks

Bryan there is a bluetooth bug that I also experienced on cm. If u select the files then share bluetooth which is currently off, it never turns on. Even if u close everything and try to turn it on from settings it just wont. U ll have to reboot to be able to use bluetooth

Thanks again for you and ur teams efforts

Been using Beta 4 for about half a day, and it is much faster and smother compared to earlier versions. Haven't had the system ui crash either after deleting the google search and launcher apps. Thanks for all your work!

However, there is a small visual bug where the quick settings button gets cut off after pressing it. Its as if half of the button is pushed off the screen. I'm not sure if its device specific, or a bug in PA. Yet, its not a big deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soreyes:
In reference to the possible freeze solution... Are search and launcher one apk or two separate. I have identified googlehome.apk for removal. Is there a second apk that needs to go as well? Should this be removed via running os or via commandline in recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
You can fix this bug by changing LCD Density to 215 instead of 240 in build.prop.

EDIT: A fresh install also fixes this but if you don't want to do a fresh install then changing the LCD density works too.

I am going to try and report back in a few days.

If UI doesn't crash, I will use it as my daily driver because GPS is way better with Kitkat in term of signal lock and battery managment, and I can live with the short range bluetooth signal.

If you get bluetooth working as normal, boys, this will be a perfect ROM. Well, for me at least.

The patch is working and the ROM (beta 4) is stable for the past few day and no reboot. I didn't remove any launcher but I did remove Google search.

Ran games, GPS (signal is same as JB :(), bluetooth (short distance but works), video, camera, SMS, viber voip are all great.

It seems Kernal is capable of Sweep 2 Wake, I used Trickster MOD and it's on but nothing happen? Backlight Notification works.

But this ROM still only has a small amount of flip tiles correct? Like sync and camera type of tiles are not in this ROM correct? 14 total. Just making sure if I'm missing something or not. I've been on some other ROMs and I know they are based on PA but had more tiles. Not comparing if one is better over the other, just making sure it is what it is with the tiles. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
It also has power toggle option but when I click it on, I don't see it in the status bar when I pull down. Again sorry if I missed something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
Extra tiles were considered unnecessary. However you can toggle sync by long pressing the user tile.

Which option is that? As far as I know we don't have any power toggle option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
This is where it says it. Also if I want to turn my WiFi on do I have to go into phone settings everytime to do that? I only have a WiFi app toggle but no WiFi on off toggle.

Never mind about the WiFi toggle. Figured it out

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Huge thank you for this ROM and the update

I don't post around here much anymore due to some of the BS that happens way too often, but just had to stop by and comment on this latest update. Until now I have avoided PA because there has been no theme engine and a few bugs which were made known to PA's credit. Since I have bought this phone 99% of the ROMs I have tried have not worked out due to one thing or another (sans Beanstalk). The last month I have had some real nightmares with KK ROMs and even a couple JB ROMs that I tried as a way to get some stability. I'm no rookie so believe me I typically know what I'm doing (well most of the time anyway). After yet another RR and losing all data due to Dynamic Fysnc in custom kernels (third time in a month too), I was just about to wash my hands of the Hercules.

Last night I was very happy too see this latest update and since I had to start over anyway, I had nothing to lose. Man am I pleased with this! The theme engine works fantastic, Hover is great to have, vibration intensity works, ART works, FULLY working video recording (yes 1080p for those who ask), BLN notification works and OTA updater. In fact I haven't been able to find anything that doesn't. Memory management is great, and the fact this is a lightweight ROM I'm sure makes a big difference in that regard. The built-in kernel is the first one I have used that is a stock one and is smooth as silk. It was nice today to be able to multi-task with my music, G+, Gmail or anything else going and not have to hear audio breakup, lag, or have a crash & reboot. FYI I am not using ANY tweaks or scripts like OKJ either.

I have had ROMs seem great before on the first today only to go south later but I really feel this isn't going to happen here. If it does, oh well will not be the first time. Also if I get an RR, I won't lose my data which is some peace of mind. Overall I think this ROM now brings a well balanced OS to this device. It's not overloaded with features like some, but offers just enough along with a few unique ones others don't have. You get all the basics with full functionality. No garbled videos, statusbar FCs or system UI crashes. PA has really come a long way from the other times I tried it and didn't find it too impressive then. That POV has now turned 360 degrees. Thanks for the continuing support and not giving up on this device. You might have just saved me some bucks too!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Amen to this. I'm very greatful for this ROM ad well. No scripts over here as well. Very smooth, quick and lovely. I just have to get used to these features.

I had a problem. When i was using music player and go to the home screen, the phone played music at speaker not the headphone any more
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
It's a known issue. If your using the Google Experience Launcher, goto Settings > Voice and turn off "Hotword Detection". I believe that should stop it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I personally don't like Hangouts and believe it does more harm than good to use it. I learned that early when my texts were going to email addresses instead of the phone number. Silly stuff like that. If you read around there are a myriad of issues with that app. Just use stock SMS for texting, it does everything I need including MMS.

Thanks for that comment about YouTube, just tried it and you're right. Are you using Wild! or stock kernel?

Edit: Found a fix, flash one of these modded YouTube apks and you're good: http://ultimarom.com/themed-apps/youtube/

Uninstall your current version of YouTube and flash the mod in recovery. Make sure to detach the app from Play using TB so you don't install the updates, or else the problem will return.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raptor170:
Stock kernel, was going to try wild but stuck with stock which is great. I'll do that when I'm off work and return back with result. Bluetooth working well now, might have been a fluke. Thanks for the YouTube fix
