Do you know that instill me doubt that Dalvik is better? Because I remember that on my 'milestone' Samsung Galaxy S on a modified version of CyanogenMod based on Android 4.4.4 I had tried to enable ART but this bring to stability issues.

I am obliged to leave stock partition sizes to the reduced time I have at my disposal, I wouldn't have the possibility to learn how they works..

I didn't find this way but seems interesting, can you explain better me, also through private messages?

Yet nowadays my (Samsung) school is represented by my faithful I9000 and I9505, where I still use with success Odin :)

EDIT : I was able to digit *#1234* into dialer to find which PDA version mounts (XWLPG), then I downloaded the proper Philz zip to flash root and CMW recovery in a single hit from here http://www.mediafire.com/download/d57tbpi659b83m3/PhilZ-cwm6-XWLPG-OXX-2.7-signed.zip , and now I have root :)

I'm planning also to update recovery, do you advise me CMW or TWRP standing at their updates?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatteoB92:
I'm here again!

I was able to setup everything, change kernel from stock to latest Gustavo's 18/01, update modem to latest XXMS4, and benchmark my setup : CPU OC from 1.2 to 1.4Ghz, GPU OC & OV (step 2 +50mV, step 3 from 200 to 267Mhz and from 950 to 1050mV, step 4 from 267 to 520Mhz and from 1000 to 1150mV) I/O 3072Kb and scheduler zen for both.

This is my Antutu with the device squeezed to maximum, I performed the test many time to assure me it was stable..

I think this device could have yet long life :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cirra92:
Haha I wanted to say install custom recovery over stock one via ODIN, to be able to flash anything from that recovery, I have just realised know that I have written root, my bad :)

There is not much to know about changing partition sizes, it's just a matter of flashing appropriate file and adequate format of partitions after that :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatteoB92:
I know that ART takes more time during setup, but then it gives more speed.

What is the size of the stock partition?

I have to flash that pit file through Odin?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Stock system partition size is 500MB. Recommended for ART is at least 1Gb but I've tried 500MB and I've got to say gapps was a pain in the ass. Stock data partition size is 2GB, I use 3GB which give extra space when you want to install big games or lots of apps without using any of the personal sd card space.

Yes, you will have to flash a pit file through odin. I will provide pit files to flash to prepare people who want to use lollipop. You must be aware that this will delete all of your data, and I mean everything excluding external sd cards, so make a backup! Note that if you want to use the modified data partition space, you will have to use default kernel from custom rom or custom kernel other than dorimanx then you will be all fine :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatteoB92:
For all of my data lost, I suspected yet (unfortunately)..

And if I would want to use Gustavo's?

However, thanks for all your explanations, I didn't expect all this hail :)

as i read some of you are using custom kernel, do you still want to have a stock kernel with zeitferne fix?

the last final release of official slimkat has no changes for i9100/n7000 at all...i don't think it is necessary to build a new one. unless you know something that are important to add to the rom...let me know.

Yeah, that would be very cool but our device maintainer left the boat so I think that we will not get anymore updates :crying:

Only CM12 is inofficially released for our S2 but I personally don't like CM as much as AOSP, so I will stuck on KK and during the year I will get a new device.. After over 3 years it is time to move on if you want active development ;)

I still have the problem regarding the ringtones changed after a restart. It worked well for a while but then it kicked in again.

I am running latest SlimSaber update + DorimanX v008 (with FPBug fix).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
you mean that the ringtone changed to nothing? where did you put the custom ringtone?

i was using custom ringtone and i put it in /sdcard/ringtones without any issues.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
I'm not sure this is the same, but I sometimes find custom ringtones assigned to specific contacts reset to the default one...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatteoB92:
Guys, I need your help!

My girlfriend is in another city with the I9100, she can send and receive SMS or surfing the Internet, but no calls.

The setup is latest Gustavo's kernel, modem switched from XWLPG to XWMS4 with proper RIL using the zip into recovery, and stock dialer : what could be the problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
Which RIL zip did you use?:facepalm:

And what on mother Earth spiked you to flash RIL? Just tell your beloved one to reflash rom...meaning dirty flash and NO RIL FLASHING !!! She should be all good then:)

Sent from my LG-D855
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatteoB92:
I used the same RIL included in the zip that I've found here on XDA, because I read that having modem and RIL that match is better for the connectivity : precisely I took it from this discussion http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-samsung-modem-ril-cwm-installers-t1881304

So now I have to dirty flash Rom to 'fix' system?

I hope to download all the necessary before tomorrow morning, because I'll reach her for an operation and we won't have a computer available from which flash any kind of solution, only the microSD port of my Galaxy S4 where store the files..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iJiB:
I guess you didn't read the HUGE text in RED COLOR in the OP of that thread.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
The rils are included with the ROM. The ones included in the zip is designed for android 4.1.2. I assume I you're on 4.4.4 so the ril will be different. As what rkoby said, dirty flash a ROM and it should work. Otherwise, downgrade to 4.4.2 or 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
just dirty flash does the trick:)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatteoB92:
I had yet read 'Do not attempt to flash Modem/RIL files onto CM/AOSP/AOKP based ROMs as results cannot be guaranteed. You may end up with no network or baseband if you flash on anything other than Samsung based ROMs, so do so at your own risk', but some days ago I read in a forum of my country that for the Italian carrier TIM they suggested to flash modem XXMS4 or XXMS3 that works well on Android 4.2.2+, so I believed that would be right flash it with RIL because in my Lg Optimus Dual O2X P990 experience I remembered to flash it apart using GetRIL app.

I didn't know instead the RILs were yet included , as not ; so thanks for your answers mates, tomorrow I'll keep you informed :)

EDIT : I have just the last curiosity, now flashing ROMs and also performing clean installs I'll keep the modem because it was flashed in a different partition of the system, right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Yep. You'll keep your modem no matter how many time you install a rom unless you install a rom that comes with a modem (such as neatrom 4.1.2).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatteoB92:
Don't worry my friend (from today I feel to call you it), we have to stay on Android 4.4+ because I gave my girlfriend a MiBand as a Christmas gift :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cirra92:
You can also flash "radio cleaner" found in the 3rd post of OP. The zip file has RIL used in AOSP and XXLS8 modem, so you would have to flash modem by your choice afterwards (but modem only), without reflashing ROM again :) But both ways are legit fixes :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MatteoB92:
It seems very interesting, I've just downloaded it!

Tomorrow I'll try first this way, thanks mate :)

Think about what you did and what the dev wrote and you'll have the answer to why it doesn't work on your side! In simple words, put them on your internal SD card in folders called Ringtones, Notifications etc and it'll work just fine.

Battery heating?

I have used this rom few months ago, and since I have noticed that battery heats a lot, and often I had huge battery drains I switched to Sale's 4.1.2 Neat Rom.

Are meanwhile fixed those battery issues?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sh1bby:
Switching to a custom kernel solved these issues for me. E.g. Apolo branch 7 ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Alucard:
THis rom plus apolo kernel is the best kk rom for i9100 only drawback is the lack of theme engine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:

No...SSK+10.44V008 ROCKS:D

And you have a bunch of xposed modules to theme your rom as you like...besides that...SSK has tons of customizations that I never missed theme chooser [emoji14]

That's true:)

Battery Drain

I installed this firmware and kernel yesterday with 1gb system partition. Everything is OK and the rom looks perfect... very smoth and stable.

The only problem that i notice is that the baterry discharges to fast. While restoring my backups (manually) and configuring everything, with standard system settings, +/-80% drainn in 2h30.

Is that normal?

Regarding charging time, the oposite happens... it takes tons of time to fully charge.

Flashing a new kernel or patch solves the problem?

anyone with the same problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tatallor:
Been running SlimSaber since december and now I'm going with the latest release.

I'm still being plagued by a nagging problem, albeit less frequent since I did the update.

I get random freezes, the touchscreen is frozen and only the power button works and activates the backlight.

The only way to unfreeze it is to remove the battery and after I power up the system date and time is reset to 2006, January 1st. I have to manualy adjust it and only then can I reset it to "operator provided".

Any idea why this happens?

See what kernel/configuration your running. S2 has an extremely slow charge rate of 650v. Phone doing tasks tends to use more than that
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Let me add on to what you said. [MENTION=3510365]Voodoo_X[/MENTION], flashing a different kernel will not solve slow charging problem. This is because it is a hardware limitation and anything over would guarantee death of components. Like what lil_assassin said, ongoing apps like games can seriously slow down the charging rate and can even drain your battery too.

Restoring backups will most likely keep your cpu on high usage levels. Your phone is still adjusting to the new rom so a faster than normal discharge may happen. This problem usually goes away after a few discharge cycles but if it persists, then something is probably wrong with your situation.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Voodoo_X:
Thank you for your replies.

Regarding charging time, I was just comparing to the charging time with stock 4.1.2... It's mutch faster.

About battery discharge, yesterday I had to charge battery 2 times without playing any games. Just a bit of internet and checking settings... I think it's not normal!!!

I flashed the lattest Apolo kernel for 4.4.x version... It seems better, so i think it is a slimsaber kernel problem.

When I was with CM11 nightly the battery lasts forever :p... Thats why I think I have some kind of problem with SlimSaber rom.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LiL_Assassin:
Ah fair enough. Well I think you should check your wakelocks, but I have my own question. I haven't tried this on another rom as I like slimsaber to much, but I find that I don't Have many wakelocks. But after I wake up my phone and do a few things and then turn it off. It starts to lose a lot of power.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
does anybody know if there is a way to block all notifications from all contacts except one during the night?

kind of like "quiet hours". but declare an exception for a special contact like girlfriend?

no matter whether directly in slimsaber or via an xposed module or an app
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Voodoo_X:
Back again!!! :)

After a full day with SlimSaber and Apolo Kernel I noticed that the difference is not as much as I previously said...

Already search for wakelocks and disabled media scanner... Result: No severe wakelocks and still fast battery discharge!!!

I will wipe / factory reset and reisntall SlimSlaber. I will try another modem, can you please recomend one? My stock 4.1.2 (From Portugal TPH was XWLSS).

Hey..,just a hint....before you do anything drastic to your device....please test your battery...it may be at the end of it's life cycle...i'm sayin' this because I have had the same issue as you....once upon a time I was on SlimSaber 4.2.2 and after upgrading to 4.3.1 my battery started to drain very fast...I did trillions of things and I couldn't find drain reason...well...few weeks later....I couldn't do a simple task....device switched off by itself...damn..I thought it was mobo acting up....but it was battery that was almost dead...
