if we are upgrading from the previous version of this ROM, do we really need to re-flash GAPPS? Shouldn't GAPPS already be flashed from the previous version? Or does the installer intentionally blow out some apps like those included in GAPPS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
No, you need to install GAPPS again. Or else you get a ton of FC's
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] radium22:
Yes, you do.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

I am seeing the boot issue in this new build 06/26. About one third of the time, the rom boot animation simply stopped and the phone would reboot or shut down. I no longer see the kernel boot image.

I did a full wipe and loaded the rom and gapps only.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
cool. Thanks for the info. I'll pop the latest GAPPS on and see if that fixes my issue :)

As of right now, it looks like I blew things up nicely though before I was able to get this installed... thinking it may just be my /data folder is corrupt (will your phone get stuck at the boot screen if your /data folder is screwed up?).

The issue I had was my /data/lost+found had nearly 300 MB of data in there. doing "rm -rf /data/lost+found/*" would stop on the first error. So I tried it from recovery (after mounting mmcblk0p25) and it removed a lot more, but then now it seems to hang at the boot screen. Logcat isn't useful when it hangs as it looks like it is just constantly freeing memory.

My next step is to backup the /data folder (so I don't lose game saves... hopefully), then do a clean install of PACMan. I tried dirty flashing overtop in my semi-broken state (with a cache wipe) and it trys to load, but hangs at "android is upgrading" after rebuilding the dalvik-cache. A reboot after this point results in the phone going back to the stuck on boot animation screen. It doesn't cause a kernel panic, it just stalls.

crossing my figners I don't need to do a clean install, but that is always an option...

EDIT: GAPPS didn't fix the booting issue :(... trying one more thing then may need to resort to a clean install :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dukehazard77:
Did a clean install of the latest version of this ROM coming from Whitehawxx Aokp. Everything went smooth except both times when I tried to install Viper audio drivers ROM hung at reboot. Had to clean flash again. Now running fine but am too freaked to try to install Viper audio again. Suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idb117:
Regarding viper audio: I'm gonna assume u deleted any other audio mods(DSP, awesome, etc) & extracted the apk. Did u move it to system/app folder & set permissions then reboot? If so, after reboot, open viper app, pick cortexAx Neon, install drivers then reboot again. I'm using viper myself & that's how i installed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] radium22:
My boot issue seems to be resolved after I wiped the internal SD card (and cache/dalvik cache), without reflashing the ROM/GAPPS. I just had to save/move my files (photos, documents, etc) before the wipe.

BTW, I don't see a kernel image before the ROM boot animation. Did I screw up something else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
anybody else have an abnormally large /data/lost+found after flashing the latest version? I ended up clean flashing it as I was having too much difficulty with doing it any other way (phone failed to boot most of the time... looks like something in /data/system went bad).

Also is anybody able to get adb to work with the latest version of PACMan? I keep getting "offline" when I try to adb into it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
I heard that the latest CM commits are pushing out a VoIP fix that is supposed to fix our audio on video going out.

Perhaps someone will throw something together this weekend with those commits and we will see.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
Sure, I'm going to learn how to cherry pick today so I plan to include the camera tile which was abandoned for some reason and the one that you have asked. I don't really know when the new build will be out but sometime soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
Awesome. Have you had any issues with the Black SOD? I still will have notification lights (bln) and it will act like its trying to come on. Has only happened twice in a few days, but would like to know if there is a workaround.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
This isn't my first or 76th rodeo with any custom ROM, but I cannot get this thing to deep sleep at all. It did, but only 20% of the time. The rest was pegged at 384mhz.

Any suggestions? I love Pacman, ran if for about a year now off and on, but I can't live with the 6-8 hours its currently lasting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ubikwitus:
Thanks for compiling the new version, glad to see updates coming through. I am, however, encountering issues. I did a fresh install: factory reset, did not wipe internal storage, flash, wait 10 min, reboot. Every action seems very slow and the phone feels warmer than usual. Anyone else having this? What should I do? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
Hmmm. Not sure why it slows down for you....did you flash some mods after flashing the ROM because that normally causes FC's and doesn't really end well. Other than that, try changing your governor to performance and see if it's still slow. There should be no lag what so ever on the performance governor.

I know exactly what you mean man. Now there may be two reasons for this. One is because this is a nightly kernel. It has some ups and downs. I recommend flashing the stable version of the kernel from the original OP or better yet going on Cl3kener's thread and searching for the Uber kernel for PAC-Man. That should help a lot. Secondly, try changing the governor to something else. Test them out and see which one suits you. All in all, I think it's the nightly kernel that's causing the problem. So go over there and flash it, and your problem most likely should be resolved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
I'm going to roll with this on Interactive and Bfq now and see. I have gotten it to deep sleep after I switched governors.

If not I'll switch kernels. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
Deep sleeping like a baby now. Interactive governor I think fixed the problem. I did a few other things too.

Ill report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samuel2706:
Congratulations.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ubikwitus:
Hey man, what did you do to get it to deep sleep like you wanted? Looking to extend battery life as much as possible. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
I answered that question in this page.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ubikwitus:
Awesome. I'll try that. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
Changing kernels did it. Sort of. Its still not instant excellence, but I'm going to give it a few days. Interactive, Bfq seems the best so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] n3cc3rs:
does anyone know how to get the ROM control settings to stick? for example the lock screen shortcuts :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] supersams:
Click the save button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] n3cc3rs:
I appreciate the response but no that doesn't work the main lockscreen still does not show those shortcuts it is using the default set instead, again thank you for your answer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
as a thought: do you have some values set in "Performance Control" with "set on boot" marked off and then different values set in trickster mod?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] n3cc3rs:
nope they are the same. Although I am using kernel tuner and didn't even look at that till you said something :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I just installed kernel tuner to give it a shot... changed the min and max on all CPU's and changed the governor on both CPU's. Rebooting now to see if they stick. It looks like the settings did stick when I had it set "on boot complete" for me.

If not, in the settings for kernel tuner, are you set to apply the things via init.d or on boot complete? Could try setting it to "init.d" instead of "on boot complete"?

changing the subject, is it weird that some of my firmware files I THINK are being auto-updated or uploaded somewhere at boot time? I see the following in my logcat:

E/kickstart-qcks( 620): RUNNING:	/system/bin/ks -w /data/log/mdm/ -p /dev/tty_sdio_00 -r -1 -s 2:/system/etc/firmware/amss.mbn -s 6:/system/etc/firmware/apps.mbn -s 8:/system/etc/firmware/dsp1.mbn -s 11:/system/etc/firmware/osbl.mbn -s 12:/system/etc/firmware/dsp2.mbn -s 21:/system/etc/firmware/sbl1.mbn -s 22:/system/etc/firmware/sbl2.mbn -s 23:/system/etc/firmware/rpm.mbn -s 28:/system/etc/firmware/dsp3.mbn -s 16:/data/qcks/efs1.bin -s 17:/data/qcks/efs2.bin -s 20:/data/qcks/efs3.bin -s 29:/data/qcks/acdb.bin

E/kickstart( 710): Requested ID 8, file "/system/etc/firmware/dsp1.mbn"

I noticed this when my phone last crashed during boot animation. Also, was having issues with ADB not connecting to my device, so I started up terminal emulator and found that the command "reboot" didn't exist in my path... but restart did (which is a hot-reboot) AND it fixed my adb issue... weird, no?

One more question: is it safe to delete /data/log/mdm/*? I have 131 MB of data in there and I am thinking it is not neccessary, but I don't want to purge it only to find out it is needed for system boot or stability.

One last question: has anybody got MHL to work on this ROM? USB OTG seems to work from my quick testing, but I have not had luck with MHL, but I could be doing something wrong or have something set up wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] homelessbrian:
I've also got random boot loops happening. Every few times it loads the haptic feedback doesn't work either. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
Did you do a clean flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] homelessbrian:
Absolutely. I always do. I rarely have issues with roms. I have re downloaded and have flashed a few times. I'm using the newest twrp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
What gapps package?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
Try flashing the alternative install kernel by Cl3kener a few pages back. I never heard of this problem before. Did you flash some mods?

In the OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilsaiful:
What version of Cl3Kener's kernel did you bake into the rom?

EDIT: saw it in the changelong, my bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I've actually had the exact same issue, but can't seem to find a cause for the rebooting at boot animation thing. As for the haptic feedback issue, it is actually that the vibrator kernel object doesn't get loaded properly. Not 100% sure what causes it, but if you run "lsmod", dhd is the only thing loaded AND the phone won't go into "vibrate" mode (only loud or silent). Not 100% sure what causes it nor how to fix it mind you... when it happens to me, I just reboot. As for the boot loop issue, if I hold the power button to reboot it, it usually pulls out of the boot loop.

I experienced this issue more after flashing UBER-Cl3Kener-Nightly-06-26-2013.zip so I believe it to be a kernel issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] radium22:
I had the same boot animation reboot issue. I full-wiped including internal sd card with twrp, and installed the ROM with/without the alternative kernel twice before rebooting. And I fixed permission several times too. This issue occurred to my phone only on this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
what makes the crash issue fun is that logcat isn't exactly useful. I have a logcat when my phone was crashing like that and it looks like it is just getting bored and rebooting... there is nothing that indicates that a reboot should be occurring. It looks like it is downloading or uploading some files in the firmware folder then reboots. Dunno what it is doing though...

As for the vibration issue, I am thinking that maybe running "rmmod vibrator" then "insmod vibrator" may fix it, but I haven't had the issue again so I don't know for sure...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cr3d1ts:
When the screen is off and i touch the capacitive buttons, they still vibrate, is there a way to turn that off?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
that is the sweep to wake stuff. If you load up trickster mod you can disable it. I've never disabled it as I kinda like having it myself.

Hey guys, so a new build will be up today! I am going to try to incorporate OTA updates for this ROM so it'll be easier for you guys to know when a new build is out. What I need you guys to do though is install the app from the market:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.otaupdater

It most likely won't work the first time as in when I put out today's build, but it should work for future builds. If it does work today, then it works ;)

But most likely, it won't. I should also be making a new build tomorrow because there are a lot of updates that should be merged soon. As for today's build, the changes are already in the OP

Will try to cherry-pick that. I've been trying for the longest time for the camera tile without success. There will be a new build today but not necessarily with many new features. But rather to see if the cherry-pick was successful and the OTA updates work

EDIT: Seems to be a lot of updates now that I checked. It'll be worth to upgrade
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
Great thanks. I'm sure we can find a few on here to give you some advice on cherry picking if you need it. I'm in the middle of modifying your settings apk to look a bit cleaner and replace some app links with my own.

Can someone tell what linaro means?

"Give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." In other words help others find an answer don't just give it to them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Your quote suggests you should know this.....but just Google linaro. Lol

I will say this....in my opinion and experience with just about every rom out there I've flashed.....it doesn't really mean anything to end user. Maybe its better for cooking roms....but I've noticed no performance difference on the user end. And if there is....its slight. I don't care if the roms I like have it or not in other words. Doesn't hurt or help in my opinion. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cr3d1ts:
Does anyone use link2sd? I'm getting stuck on bootscreen when I try to use link2sd, if I pull sd card out, it boots fine. :S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Falco:
Lol I looked on Google and searched xda, that's why I asked

"Give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." In other words help others find an answer don't just give it to them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Then you're doing it wrong! ;)

I Google's what is linaro. Got lots of stuff. Including about how the CM team gave up on linaro because it wasn't worth it. More glitches.

Google cyangenmod or however you spell it, plus linaro and you should find the same info.

But to throw you a bone....its just a different, speedier way of compiling roms....and supposedly speeds things up on the finish product, which I find is a placebo, or at least barely noticeable difference.

That's as well as I can explain it. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
Yeah Linaro tool chain is said to be a bit better. Honestly, try compiling both ways and you may find yourself liking the quicker setup on Linaro a bit better. Veterans prefer the older methods because they have the setup process scripted and don't need to worry about the learn factor

Messaging FC

Is anyone else getting a Messaging FC when receiving a text message on the 07/06/13 build?

[edit] I've tried clearing cache & data, but it's still happening.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I'm not an expert, but if I had to guess as to what is causing that (without seeing any logs), I would guess either:

1) you dirty flashed and some database for messaging is corrupt. This MAY be fixable by wiping the data in messaging via settings->applications BUT I am pretty sure this will result in all of your texts disappearing

2) you didn't flash gapps. re-flashing gapps may fix this.

I only had that problem when I dirty flashed with a bad /data partition. clean flash made things so much happier. I am not running the latest build but got it downloaded and will flash it tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
If still interested let me know. My change log is pretty long. I have a version with superuser as a fragment (current method) and one as a link reference (loads an actual app which allows for playstore app updates). I can send you pics and send you either version of your choice. My focus was to ensure no words got cutoff the screen and moved to reorganization. Then cleaned up some pngs and needless coding. I added your OTA updater to the list too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
OP Updated! Some new features added but the big thing is is that OTA Updates Work now! Happy flashing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
LOL awesome timing on my part :P I JUST (literally 20 minutes ago) flashed the previous version as I wanted to give it a shot (the 0706 build). I was having some odd issues with a prior build with ADB and some weird reboot issues (would need to force reboot if I initiated a normal reboot in order to get the phone to come back up and sometimes adbd wouldn't talk to adb kinda like I had sys.config.usb set to mass_storage instead of mass_storage,adb).

This new build seems much nicer, but I'm going to let it settle for a day or 2 then try the 0708 build.

by the way, does the 0706 OTA work to bump me up to 0708? Do I have to do anything to get OTA to work or is it all automagic?

EDIT: never mind... answered my own question. Saw the notification, tried to update and got yelled at that there was no MD5 and that the update failed (download also failed... downloaded NAN bytes).

the Mirror link in the OP brings up a permission denied message for me :( grabbing off of Dev-Host now though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
Yeah, I got too excited and released it. I'm currently working on the OTA updates. I need to find a direct download link. Drop box worked just fine but I got a signature failure when I flashed. Ota updates should work in a hour or two when I get it fixed

EDIT: Could someone see if it successfully downloaded?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I am actually having this issue with any app that throws up a notification in the notification bar. so my sms app, app updates, emails, etc. Attempting to figure out exactly what is causing it before updating to the 0708 build just in case it is something I did. I dirty flashed and didn't reinstall GAPPS so that may be the issue... but gapps looks to be still installed and google play still allows updates...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
OTA from 0706 does not work "MD5 error". Downloading from google drive tells me the file can't be scanned for viruses, but will download (100 KBps roughly). Downloading it now then gonna compare it to the dev-host one. If they match, I can try flashing unless you would like me to keep trying at the OTA from 0706 to 0708?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vroomr:
I don't have a camera tile on 07.08 :( am I missing anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I am not 100% positive, but to me it sounds like you may be missing GAPPS.

Failing that, you can probably grab a 4.2 camera apk and gallery apk and it should work. I would flash gapps first though.

OR I could be completely misunderstanding what you are missing LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soccerfan6789:
No I think this is my fault. After I successfully cherry-picked the two commits, I repo sync'ed an I think that deleted it for some reason. It is merged now so it will be included in the next build.

Secondly, OTA updates work. And that's a promise now. It'll download just fine but when you flash, it will not work. To fix it, go to the OTA folder, then downloads, and flash the downloaded zip. It will prompt you saying that the signature verification has failed. But, continue to flash it and select install untrusted zip. I'm not sure why this happens and I'll look into it. Now I am not liable for any bricked devices however, I'm just saying that I will always use that way to update my ROMs. I used it to update to the latest 7-8 and will continue to do so. If something bad happens to my device, I'll cut off the download link so you guys won't be able to download it hence not being able to flash it.

Sorry for not having the camera tile included and having a lot of promises unfulfilled. From now on, when I say something, I mean it. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
You should reflash gapps after a new build when dirty flashing. Haven't looked to deeply, so it could be a placebo. However, I believe some have said they found a reason due to privacy guard. Even if not, it will ensure the apps nest themselves properly in the new build.
