Which connection? 2g/3g or wifi?

AFAIK kernel uses different wifi drivers, not sure about radio but that should be managed by modem/baseband.. Try changing your modem since orange tiles are caused by google services framework couldn't connect to google servers.

Or you could try opening google playstore, sometimes if GSF/Google play services gets killed and restarted you get white tiles.

Both the 3g and Wifi are orange. It must be something weird in this kernels but fixable. I posted pictures of the orange tiles before. I can make screens again. Just have to flash apolo for it :rolleyes:

Is there a way to flash Slimsaber Wifi drivers after flashing another kernel?

Actually I think about making a quick video of it as proof it's not me.

Can not install Tasker

Hello, after upgrading to 05/22, suddenly Tasker is uninstalled. I can't reinstall it. I always wipe dalvik, cache, system before flashing. Never found this issue on previous builds. Is there anyone face this problem too? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
Do you had it as system app?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] settu_kliwon:
No, it's installed as user app. I also can't install it as system app by moving apk to /system/app. I use Tasker a lot

Clear cache, dalvik and manually delete from /data/app doesn't fix this problem. How about you [MENTION=3433747]pdario[/MENTION], can U install Tasker in SlimSaber 05/22? Thanks

I had it installed and there it stayed...

I you have anything similar to root explorer, I'll suggest to look for "tasker" all over your partitions and look for remnants of it.

I have the same problem here on slimsaber 4.4.2 and apolo kernel. I use K9 for email and my data connection is set to 2G to save battery. Wifi is off normally. It's not K9 being killed, when I switch on wifi, mails arrive immediate and notifications are displayed. Event starting K9 and checking mails does not get them. So i presume that 2G-connections goes to some kind of sleep after a while. Using 2G with browser still works, but no mails are received.

I use apolo because I like BLN. Otherwise I would use stock slim kernel. In slimsaber 4.3.1 everything was ok with apolo kernel. I know it's not rom-problem, but in kernel thread noone has an idea. I just found "There's gotta be some one that knows the answer".

Hopefully we can figure out what went wrong, and please post the logs on each kernel development thread as i'm suspecting the problem is on kernel's end, as no issues happened while using stock kernel.

I'm on latest slimsaber build right now with dorimanx and no issues on my end (it's my 2nd battery cycle since flash)

Open system settings > mobile networks > access point names > make sure you have correct APN configuration for your network then select one by tapping on the bullet (right side of the text)

Observe your network bar, is it indicating data reception? For example it shows E/3G/H/H+ icons..

The problem is with wifi. Maybe with 3g also but I can test wifi more easily.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donny02:
So test with wifi... It sounds like the same problem.

BTW: I installed catlog app from android market, so I can get logcat on device. It requires root! With apolo Kernel logging ist disabled by default. To enable it you have to create a file .enable_logs in /data directory. Good luck!

I will try to get some useful logcat-information and if I get it, I will post it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
Can you confirm that you're able to receive data on mobile network? If yes then we can narrow it down to wifi drivers from kernel. Or maybe just your router/phone has problems with DHCP settings

Ok here are 2 logs.

What I did on both was turn screen off, in the stock kernel I received an whattsapp so didnt have to test further :) unlocked and stopped the log.

With apolo I did screen off, waited 1 min or so, send an email to myself. Wait half a minute and turn phone on. You can see in the log only then it arrives. Tried with wifi off and 3g. Exact same issue.

Hope the logs say something about the problem :)

Nope, theme chooser is not implemented yet. Slim team is working on it.

Bluetooth issue

Hi Fusionjack

As you suggested, the next time bluetooth problem occurs. Here is the bugreport.

Even after closing bluetooth it starts on its own.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kantjer:
On my optimized SaberMod build for the S4 I also had users reporting problems with exFAT formatted SD cards.

After replacing the system/bin/mount.exfat with the version from the official SlimKat build exFAT was reporting working again.

It looks that "mount.exfat" compiled with SaberMod and/or optimizations is causing issues (at least for some).

For now I offer a flashable zip to restore the working mount.exfat as a workaround, now we need to find a proper solution in the build.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Hi

It's a kernel problem. I'm forced to the stock kernel now because of the notifications problems and if now I get 2 1/2 hours screen time it's much. Any other good kernels for kitkat out there?

That's 2 hours less than apolo gave me.

Wasn't sure if dori had the issue so flashed it. Until now everything arrives realtime :rolleyes: will test some days.

Performance on 22/5 release

Hi Fusionjack,

In the latest release I feel my S2 is not as responsive as in previous releases of this month.

Battery consumption is also a bit heavier. I don't know if it is because of the compiler flags.

Also I had a couple of restarts and a couple of crashes on file explorer.

For me I think that the release of 16/5 was the fastest and most battery friendly.

I also would like to request others in this thread not to discuss about other kernels here because it is confuses us those who don't play with those.

If FusionJack believed that this ROM could work better with another kernel he would have tried it too and suggest us to try also for comments.

Still FJ, thanks for sharing us your hard work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawaiisteve:
Hi guys. So ok, I've been fighting my media scanner for some time now and just finished a lengthy trial and error test to pin point my problem. I've documented my symptoms in past posts. Went back to dalvik for serveal days and no problem. Switched back to art and no problems for past 2 days. Slowly added back my normal apps and media (music) and took some pics.

I've come to the conclusion that my phone hates media. Any, and I mean ANY media causes the scanner to get stuck at some time. I've formatted my SDs numerous times, checked my mp3s for corruption, run disk check in windows, blah blah blah. Even the thumbnails in my news app and xda app seem to be causing it to get stuck.

I think I've found a workaround, which is to:

1. Delete media storage data

2. Place .nomedia files in all folders with media

3. Set media scanner to not scan after boot

4. Reboot

5. Use music player to read my music by files instead of scan all media

6. Set MX player to look only in folders with video content

7. Never scan SD cards

8. Change permissions in my app folders to read only so thumbnails are not stored.

Its a big headache and I don't know what to do if I take pics. I have a feeling those thumbnails will cause the media scanner to go bananas too but they haven't yet.

I'm just hoping I'm not the only one experiencing this so I know I'm not crazy. Also hoping someone out there can offer some advice about how I can solve this problem. Thanks for reading my life story! Haha! Sorry its so long.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sien1996:
Ouch man, you case sounds pretty bad, on my side, it occurs only randomly, been 3 or 4 days since it last went crazy I think. :p Have you tried SD Maid? It sorta works here :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawaiisteve:
Thanks for the reply. Actually I have SD maid and its a great app, but when my scanner gets stuck, so does SD maid! Gggrrrrr
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sien1996:
Exactly, from there I trace the folder on which it is stuck and delete it :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Sorry but for me and a lot of others rom+kernel is the hobby. I'm trying to find out where the troubles are.

It confuses me that people get good battery with stock slim kernel. I think pretty impossible with the video drivers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawaiisteve:
I've tried that but unfortunately it gets stuck at random places. I don't really want to delete music but sometimes it gets stuck there. Other times on thumbnails and sometimes in android folder, which is really strange. So far, (about 2 days) it hasn't gotten stuck with the methods I posted earlier. I'm just hoping to find an easier way or a fix... I mean, it shouldn't be doing this, right?

The thing that really has me confused though, is that it gets stuck in settings>apps. It gets stuck when calculating app sizes. Sometimes it displays completely wrong sizes or can't finish calculating all the app sizes.

Also, in settings>storage it gets stuck when calculating storage values or when I clear cache...

I gotta say that despite this problem, this is by far the best ROM EVER. It absolutely flies on dori kernel and is the smoothest, most battery friendly I've experienced. Much mahalos (mahalo is thank you in Hawaiian) [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]!

media scanner issues & music bug

Sorry if I have posted this before on this thread (I searched but can't find it) but with the posts I'm seeing thought I'd post again,

reading through various ROM threads I found this posted by [MENTION=5548561]hawaiisteve[/MENTION] it might help anyone having media scanning issues.. I've hidden it as it is a rather long post....

Hi everyone. Just wanted to share a little something I found. I've been battling media scanner issues like a lot of you and found a possible workaround.

I deleted all media (music, pictures, video) and the scanner was still sticking at times. I ran a scan using SD scanner and noticed it was getting stuck when scanning app info in the android folder. Turned out to be from an app named Pulse, which is a news app I use. There were 600+ images saved. So I deleted that folder and was OK. The next day, I read my usual news and Pulse downloaded all the images again and the scanner got stuck again...

I ended up deleting the images folder and replaced it with a file with the same name. Now, I can't get the pics on the tiles for each news article, but no more stuck scanner!

Its not the ideal workaround because I lost some functionality of the app, but at least its not killing my battery...

I'm sure other apps might be causing this so you guys might want to check your app folders out.

Personally, I think the KitKat media scanner is somehow just too sensitive...I mean I never had this problem on jb...

Edit: I forgot to mention that before I changed the folders for files I tried a .nomedia file in that folder, but for some reason, it was still getting scanned...

2nd edit: oh well. It worked until I rebooted. The app created new folders and deleted the filed I made. At least I know what's causing my media scanner to get stuck...

3rd edit: I'm pretty sure the images this app is saving are causing my media scanner issues. Found an app on playstore called Advanced Permission Manager which can remove permissions from apks. Removed the write to SD perm from Pulse and it seems to be working...no more stuck scanner!!!

If this helps anyone, thank the original post in THIS link
