Guys a little question (maybe ot ot because i don't think is rom related) but anyone have noticied that whatapp going crazy from some says? Before in a day it give to me like 40-50 wakelock, now 300-400!!!! Anyone notice this problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rayman95:
Hey chief

My daughter is with 4.4.4 build 6.4 and has some camera problems and battery drain even in standby. I changed now the kernel to your last. Will see if it s better and maybe update the rom too.

Actually the modem is xxms3. Is there a more recent or more performant.

Thank s for your answer
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pug123:
Sorry for the newbish question but can someone point me in the right direction as how to format System partition manually in twrp, as in op install guide :)

I want to do a clean install of this ROM and see how its doing , (for test purposes you understand ;))
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
It's pretty straightforward really.. But always have nandroid backup before doing this.

Get into the wipe screen,then select advanced wipe, checklist everything except sdcard (internal/external), then confirm format. After it finish flash the zips..

Happy flashing :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Christiaan91:
To analyze the battery drain you can use betterbatterystats.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pug123:
Thanks, (I'm not actually a noob, so was a bit embarrassed to ask the above question,) the only reason I ask is because I'm used to cwm which actually Has a format section and says 'format system' so was a bit concerned when I didn't find that in twrp ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
Don't worry bud, everyone had their first time with everything :D i also got lost when slim team switched to TWRP

[End of OT]

- camera problem, could you be more specific? Or provide logcats?

- battery drain : have you checked whats draining with BBS or similar apps?

- modem : xxms4 is the latest afaik

[Galaxy S II Android Development] rayman95:
can you provide link for the dorinmax you use and mybe for the modem. I'm not home and it's difficult to find it with my phone

thank's

the dorinmaw is for KK too??if it is the Kernel_Dorimanx-V10.43v116-Comp-mv3-[17-10]-[25-07]-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE so I found it

EDIT : I found xxms4 with or without ril

what does it change???? the both are flashable with recovery and can I flash modem+ril on slimkat????

thank's again
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
Yes that is the most latest build of dorimanx beta kernel, i'm sorry but i must warn you that despite it is pretty much stable, it is still a beta kernel.

I suggest sticking with slimsaber kernel, unless you want to try things and willing to lose some time facing random reboots or SODs (when it happens)

For the modem, get the without ril version, since we are using openril

Just updated to the latest (via dirty flash, for the first time, too lazy at this late hour to do full)

So far the only prob has been i lost root

But easy fixed...

Thanks for the hard work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Is there a known GPS problem? Tried GPS and but 90mins outside and still nothing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
well enabling root is actually exposing security. especially if you enable adb and connect per cable in public area, everyone could connect to your phone and get anything from your phone. much worst is for adb per network.

the user need to know this risk and that's why he/she needs to enable it manually. therefore shipping a rom with root enabled is not a good idea.

i know most of you enable the root anyway. [emoji16]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
Just a tip here

I also noticed that sometimes the GPS toggle / tile does not trigger the google location conscent agreement prompt.. That is the main cause why you couldn't get locks.

So try toggling the modes until you're prompted with the agreement. You should get locks faster

Actually i just tried GPS, and its still hopelessly broken

I reported this like 30 pages back, and its still not functioning, and yes ive done all the usual fixes (again, for the eleventieth time), but theres no doubt about it, its borked ....still

I get the Google consent every time i toggle via the tile, and every time i enable via Settings...makes 0 difference at all whether you consent and have it on high accuracy or device only

Reverting my SGS2 to a stock ROM backup proves theres nothing wrong with my GPS reception...less than 15 seconds to a solid lock, inside a 3 story concrete building

On Slim...nada......the satellites appear like fireflies on the radar in GPS Test, all over the place, very random and the way it looks theres no way it looks like it will give you a lock...i got bored after 10 minutes...

Like i said, ive reported this before....so.....

Other than that i have no complaints/requests
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
To be honest i can't give more recommendation to try any other stuff.. I'm having no issues locking the GPS within less then 2 minutes (i'm inside my room, 1st floor out of 2 story building, nearby window tho)..

And as far as i remember, slimteam / fusionjack hasn't touched gps related sources since .. I don't know :D

I thought Indonesia has less gps satellites floating around it, maybe i'm wrong

Dirty flash from 16.07 to 26.07.

No problem with Supersu.

No problem with GPS (fixed with FasterGPS). Only 11s for first fix outdoor.

Good Job with Nova and Supersu [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pug123:
Clean install of latest ROM today no problems with GPS, it took a few minutes on first use but after that 20-30 seconds, everything seems to be flying, battery drain is fairly quick but i expect a few cycles and it will calm down......the only problem I am getting is the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working, downloaded recommended slim mini gapps from op...I have read a few pages back but am confused as to whether the gapps I am using is causing the problem?

I've wiped cache and dalvik reflashed 4.4.4 mini but still getting the same error.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JavaScout:
Fj, is there going to be a conflict between your supersu binary, and the one brought by dorimanx kernel installation?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nursoda:
I happily do that if it happens again. Switched to 07-26 though, maybe it's already solved? Anyway: since I have no experience what to look for in the LogCat, could you give me some kickstart advice what to look for, how to filter or where to read how to find possibel fc causes?

EDIT: only just noticed that I'm in the wrong forum. I'm on N7000. You may answer there, I'm subscribed there, only notices this post through email reminder.

In dori kernel v116 is 2.01, in rom dont know, maybe have conflict because in dori have md5 to check archive

I did a fullwipe and installed latest build but when I want to register my google account it says 'registration not possible', no matter if I use WiFi or 2G/3G, I cannot add my gmail adress, what could be the problem? Never had this before :confused:

What is this patch ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noed:
I flashed this ROM twice this weekend... full wipe, etc.

After a few boots I get baseband unknow, lost IMEI.

The first time I restored my nandroid... now lost again, trying to figure out what happened.

I did NOT flash modem or RIL, I was using XXMS3 modem.

Not sure what should I do next, why try to recover IMEI, I never lost it before, have flashed so many ROMs.

Edit: weird, I did some stuff and after a reboot it worked, not sure what fixed...

- flashed XXLS8 modem (without RIL), that usually works great in my area

- disabled Fast Dormancy with Gokhan app

- toggled Airplane Mode twice
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Chillmann:
Had the very same bug tonight. I am on release 07/21. On my way to work everything was fine. Lock not very accurate but quick. During work I use to turn on flight mode. After work and turning of flight mode again, I tried to get a fix, but no luck to lock onto a single of that 10 visible satellites. At least it tells me that it's not rom related.

I observed that my phone has a hard time to get a fix, if I use my older battery. I see a few satellites, while holding the phone one arm length out of the window, but can lock only to 1 or 2 of them. Plugging in the charger increases the amount of visible satellites by 50% in an instant and gives me a fix shortly after. Since our device was released over 3 years ago, I believe there are a lots of old and bad batteries around which might cause weird GPS behavior.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
I have used derek gordons for years, so yes, tried that, but before that just tried the simple method of adding local pool to existing gps.conf

I also tried my other favourite trick...rebuilding the nvdata.bin...delete in /efs and reboot...no go

Trust me i could list all the things i have tried...

So when i restore a stock backup and it fires up quickly using derek gordons, i think you to would be wondering what the hell is wrong with Slim :) Using the same radio on both btw, so thats not it either....

Theres clearly an issue, im not the only one. I just wish it could get fixed, if i need to travel, and i often do, im going to have to flash back to stock again....

I mean do a search for gps in this thread and you'll see its an issue....

EDIT: New issue, when hitting keypad icon in dialer...no keypad...unless i go back and try again...wtf?

Looking through the thread this was apparently fixed like a month ago?

Thanks but all it does is apply the derek gordon gps.conf, or let you choose your local ntp pool....both of which i edited or applied manually.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kantjer:
The patch is based on this Xposed module. Because I moved to ART I don't use Xposed any more so I added the patch to the ROM itself.

[MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] included the patch in his 20140726 build.

Isn't that patch to remove home button delay in slim official builds now as well?

Can't remember to have seen the commit (did a quick search on commits containing "delay") and it's also not in the change log.

Dirty update to latest 0726 has gone bad.

Apart from having my Nova Launcher settings all reset to default, it seems not being rooted; I can't event find the options in system settings. When an app needs root access, it freezes without any message.

A lot of app and processes continue closing bad.

I'll try a couple of things and later decide whether make a clean install or revert to previous version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Topntp worked, now I have GPS :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kantjer:
Same thing happened to me 2 times earlier this week on the S4, a few hours after booting I lost signal and when checking I noticed I lost IMEI. A reboot fixed it every time.

It appears to happen when I'm in a bad signal area, it looks like some RIL part crashes and won't recover.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
i didn't expect that nova launcher reset its setting. it is basically the same app...sorry for that.

concerning root...re-enable the root in developer options. not all apps give error message if they cannot get root access. that's why the app looks freeze.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
concerning the gps...i also tried gps after a full wipe and i got immediate satellite fix after some seconds near windows.

perhaps the gps has different response from country to country to connect to the ntp pool.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
I used a pretty old nova backup and manually restored my setup, I'm ok now.

I found out that SuperSU was simply slow in showing the permission prompt and system settings required root access, too.

Now I'm set, it seems.

One thing: I keep dev options disabled, but root seems to work anyway.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bedelaitre:
I can't understand what happened. Very often, my phone freezes even if I do a full reset to factory. I've tried different cables and charger but I always have the problem.

Any suggestion will be appreciated

Rom version is 4.4.4 build 6.4 weekly 5663
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
i also assume it was a ril crash. if you see an unknown imei, don't directly recover your efs partition. it is mostly temporary.

concerning fast dormancy, i don't know which part of rom is changed. if it changes something on the efs partition, then i'd not recommend to use that.

to make sure that nothing is restored from the previous rom, especially ril thing. it is necessary to format system manually so that the content of the addon.d is emptied and nothing gets backed up.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawaiisteve:
Are you in the right thread? This is unofficial slimsaber. Sounds like you want official slimkat thread.

More info about when it freezes and logcat would probably be helpful though...

Don't see what chargers and cables have to do with freezing unless its happening when you are charging...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
Just to add 2 cents: I sometimes lose APN configuration, the list is empty, but it is restored after reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ferrarinogiallo:
No problems for me gps takes 30 seconds lo lock on the outside , was already using nova before , have Nova has user app and system app it works fine, really smooth. There is a small delay for apps to get root it was faster before, also the lock screen takes like two seconds to come up , cant remember the last time i did a clean install :thumbup:

my only problem is that the widget from the app happygeek makes the phone do a soft reboot every 2 days, very small problems .

really happy with this rom.:thumbup:

Nova has an option to backup its settings;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
After dirty flash, my AGPS took 11secs to lock near a window at second floor of a 6 story building. :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
if you do that, the root will get disabled by the next boot. this is the only thing that i didn't manage yet to disable root without booting. enabling root doesn't need a reboot.

the root access is globally controlled from the dev options. if it is disabled, supersu cannot work. this is actually the concept how the root should work in the rom before i integrate supersu. however with superuser integrated in the rom, you can also enable and disable root access through superuser menu without touching dev options. from my point of view, this kind of behavior is not desired.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
To those with GPS issues, one aspect rarely considered is the mobile carrier. Recently my brother (who is currently using my S2 temporarily) switched carriers. Before switching, a GPS fix used to take about 30-45 seconds. Now, it gets a fix in less than 10 seconds. Everything is the same apart from the carrier (modem, ROM version, everything). I know this isn't really a solution, but its a possible variation among times for people to get a GPS fix.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
Ok, so you mean that before latest release it was ok to have dev options off and still being root?

So, I'll let them on, no other side effects?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
you are probably in the wrong thread, but nevertheless i'll try to help you...

after a full wipe (with manually format system), don't flash any other mods or custom kernel.

try first the rom + gapps only without installing any additional apps and observe for some hours. if your phone freezes, then something is really wrong. probably hardware thing...if all ok, proceed with installing your apps in portion and observe for another hour and do this repeatedly until you find which app causes your phone freeze.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
no, in previous build, if you enable root from superuser, the root setting in dev options should also be enabled since at the backend they use the same property and there is only one property for root access. if this is not case, then it is much worse than i think...

side effects: the function of 'root access' in dev options is to enable or disable root for the whole rom...nothing more. if you disable this, the side effect is that no apps can get root access since supersu doesn't allow to work.

let's make it simple:

if you want root access -> enable it in developer options -> supersu is allowed to work -> apps get root access
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
I think I didn't explained my settings clearly enough.

What I did (with previous version) was: enable root in dev options -> I see it in the main settings -> set root as desired -> disable whole dev options -> root still there.

Will it work the same way with this version?

The side effects I asked about is not for root but for keeping dev options on (which I didn't before).

My SII is stuck at the boot logo of dorimanx kernel or black screen after flash dori kernel v10.43v115? I was using the latest build and was working great. What could I do to fix this? Might it be the transition of superuser to superSU? Since dori kernel was working fine with the 0721 build.

Should I just flash the kernel in the OP?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rebecker:
I lost all my Nova settings too. In addition, some widgets wouldn't reinstall properly. Reverted to 0716 for now. Will look at things when I have more time.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pumpkins12:
sir OP....can you integrated LG knock to unlock to slim saber next build?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
Unfortunately that won't happen for a few reasons.... ;)

1. The stock kernel is to remain stock (yes those mods require kernel mods). So that means no excessive mods (BLNWW, tap-to-wake etc). Mods such as extra CPU governors are OK :) The reason being, is that this is what custom kernels are for. The stock kernel of the ROM is to provide a no-frills, stable base for the ROM :)

2. The features that you mention are actually partially hardware-dependent..... and S2 doesn't have the right hardware for this. If it were to be implemented, there would be severe battery drain from the digitizer (or touch input) being always active.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noed:
Yeah I think that's what happened, signal is weak where I live, if the phone doesn't get signal on boot the RIL crashes and don't restart, even if switching to airplane mode. After a couple reboots it was ok.

Yes, I did format system manually before flashing the ROM.

Thanks

Okay, i tacked the latest issue onto my earlier post on GPS, but maybe i need to post in a separate message

Lastest issue:

Keypad in dialer doesnt show, i open the dialler and hit the keypad icon and ...blank screen, if i go back and try again, the keypad appears.

Clearly i dont want to have to do that every time i want to use the phone :)

And fyi, this exists even after a full comprehensive wipe and reinstall (after my earlier reverting to stock ROM to prove that i gps is only not working in slim, i did a full wipe and reinstall)

If the GPS and this new bug cant be fixed, im afraid ill have to head back to stock 4.1.2 where i never had a single issue, im spending too much time in these later builds of Slim trying to fix things that didnt exist in earlier versions, never in stock, and as with GPS, where multiple people have the issue but the only reply is "its working for me, and use TopNTP"...when its been stated i have tried all the usual tricks and its clearly something in the ROM.

I do appreciate the work of everyone, but theres times where im happy to fiddle with my phone, namely on the weekend, the rest of the time i just need it to work as a tool which it is.
