Not getting update notifications and more qustions...

Hi all ,

I 've been having the following problems in the last 2 or 3 slimsaber releases:

1. I am not getting notification when a new SlimSaber release is out and even if I go to Slimcenter and check manually it says that my system is up to date.

2. I am not getting notifications from google play to for updates to my installed Apps. If I go to Play to My Apps tab then I see the list of apps awaiting for an update.I have set auto updates off.

3. In gmail app loading images is default. I cannot find a way to disable it.

I have a clean installed version 20140416. I did a clean install to solve the above problems.

The above problems started in somewhere in April releases but I dont remember which one exactly.

Can you confirm if any of you deal with these too? I will update now to the latest release to see if they are solved.

Irrelevant question: I see many of you trying different kernels? Is there somewhere links for the latest versions of kernels for S2 , installing directions and the pros and cons of them? Will there be some difference for a regular user (non gamer, internet browsing, chatting and phone mainly) like gain some battery life? Right now I am using the stock kernel (Saber) with on demand governor and max frequency 1Ghz and everything runs smoothly (Like JB at max 1.2GHz speed) ! However I believe that if processor speed had more steps it would be even better for speed and battery consumption.

Other than that SlimSaber has become super stable for me! Yesterday, I switched off my phone for the first time after two weeks period :good:.

I am not sure if anyone could ask for more from a developer. My only problem remain music playback at Spotify if music is stored in memory. Streaming has no problem.

Thanks beforehand to anyone spend some time to answer my questions.

What is the exact version of Dorimanx that you are using?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr_S:
I don't seem to get notifications from gplay to
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AF_624:
I can confirm your 2 first points, not the 3 because i dont use gmail app.

I have tried all the kernels avaiable, i allways come back to stock. I really like Dorimanx, but i think there are something wrong with my setting/apps installed because i get a hotreboots sometimes. I m shure thats my problem not the kernel.

Gustavo and Apollo kernels are also good, but i dont like the colors of the screen (less bright than stock or Dorimanx)

Darn it, we really need to stop this split second posting thing ?

And why are you always ahead of me man? ?

Start OT:

How did you guys find 2000mah and 1800mah batteries? Is that samsung official? Is it region specific? Or you guys find 'compatible' batteries for S2?

I asked every samsung branch and service center i know in my country for larger battery capacity for S2.. They don't have anything other than sucky stock 1650mah ?

Poor old s2 ..

Edit: i don't want to try non-official batteries since there are too many 'fake' products in where i live

I am using 2000mAh original Samsung battery since I have my device and it has about 30% more power compared to the stock battery. A few weeks ago I bought my second battery because the first 2000mAh battery was "finish" after over 2 years permanently running. Because I use original Samsung battery and everybody can read this in my signature I did not get why I cannot post Screenshots of my screen on time? A lot of people using this battery and THEY can compare. For the ones using stock, subtract 30% and you still get over 4h screen on time. This Screenshots should only show how good slimsaber is running with dorimanx.

Just my 2 cents ;)

Nice Sunday

There's an official 2000 but cases don't fit anymore. No go for me, I love my casemate.

The 1800 aren't official neither are they really 1800. Reviews say longer battery life from original.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CounterC:
I suggest you to buy the Anker 1900mah battery. It fits in original case and and actually gives me more juice then stock. For 20 euros u get 2 batteries and a white charger with universal plug and USB port. I bought it on Amazon. Great deal to get your 3 year old S2 up and running!

Sorry i was wrong. When i woke up last morning ext SD Card only shows folders no Data. And the device was restarted something is wrong but i will test more soon ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
so, i'm back from my vacation. it was really nice. :)

to summarize what i have read in this thread:

exfat seems still have problem.

app is still missing on slimrecents.

the galaxy s2 2000 mhA should be a samsung original battery. i have used it for a long time till now.

as you may know, ubuntu one will be closed in june and i use it for slimcenter updates. if you know a file hosting that supports hot linking and free like ubuntu one, let me know.

hi [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]

I test the office SlimKat today with exfat for 8 hours, it working well with dorimanx kernel. and I also test Omin rom with exfat and dorimanx, also work good for me. I guess SlimSaber still has some bug to fix.

I try search but there is a profile for nightmare but not for ondemand.

[MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]

would it be possible to change the network mode from 2G & 2G&3G to 2G, 3G, 2G&3G ?

I am not sure why this was changed because some users mostly have 3G all the time (for example in cities) but if signal drops for a short time it changes very fast to 2G and this "jumping" between 2G and 3G could be annoying and I guess this is contra productive for battery lifetime :confused:

And, do you know how this could be implemented: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52430146&postcount=895 ?

Can you poll a request as developer to slimrom github or how does it work? :)

EDIT:

For the ones who ask how it works (Screenshot of Spaulding89):

Go to Settings - User Interface (the first point below advanced settings) - notification & QS Drawer - scroll down to quick settings -> quick tiles and layout and then add network mode. Here you can click to the left corner and set the network mode from 2G | 2G+3G (standard) to 2G | 3G | 2G+3G which is better IMO. now you can change between these 3 modes :)

Oddity

Had a minor oddity occur with the last update. All of my custom sound settings were lost. Calendar, tasks, notes, phone ringer, text messages...all changed to some other default sound. The only sound that wasn't changed (as far as I could tell) was the system default notification sound. Is there a folder where I should place all my custom sound files to prevent this from happening in the future? It's not a big deal, just slightly inconvenient to re-set my sounds Plus, for the first hour or so, I couldn't figure what the new sounds were. :)

Thanks.

yes, you can also put there, but will they get wiped by flashing a new build? unless you set a backup script...

if i can't find any free file hosting that supports hot linking, i'll contact you.

i just need to put one xml file (less than 1 kb :)) that is needed for slimcenter update. i can still host the build as usual in goo.im and dev-host.

Apolo is (or soon I should say 'was') the most stable kernel for the S2. Battery life is awesome and there is no lag.

Dorimanx' kernel is almost getting there (after 100+ test builds). [MENTION=2376110]dorimanx[/MENTION], [MENTION=1670821]cybernetus[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4663860]Computoncio[/MENTION] are doing a great job getting this kernel stable for kitkat. Honestly I didn't flash all the builds (I flashed the 10.v5x, 10.v7x and 10.v9x builds but still experienced reboots) but now I came back to branch 10.v112. This is running good on my S2 and with some luck we will see a stable build very soon.

To answer your question :p I use ONDEMAND governor for screen on and CONSERVATIVE for screen off (on apolo I used SMARTASSV2 for screen off but it's not present in Dorimanx'). For me they have proven to be the best for battery life and no lag.

:good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Georgel25:
From what i've read on that topic, it could be used on all AOSP based ROM's...it has already been used on NeatROM; in my case, after i send/receive sms, RILJ wakelocks keep going up...i didn't monitored this aspect on calls, but from what i've seen, it exists, but not giving so many RILJ wakelocks like sms.

I dont know if it's strange or not, but it seems that these wakelocks don't increase battery drain...for example now i have 2 days, 2hours and 29 min since unplugged and 1h 8 min of RILJ wakelocks (with a total of 720), with 0,9 % /h.

Some time ago, i've bought a 2000mAh battery and i have much better battery life than with the old 1650mAh one; now i have 0,9 - 1 % / h battery drain at maximum, usually around 0,6 % / h.

a new build is up in dev-host. it is merely to fix exfat and one commit in kernel.

don't forget to format system if you flash newest gapps like mentioned in the website.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
What if I have already installed newest gapps on previous build? Is it not possible to dirty flash this build? Normally I would wait for a fullwipe and clean install up to the day when theme chooser will be implemented ;)

With format system all settings will be lost, correct?
