Do you have WIFI access?

I always use Opengapps.org (arm>4.4>pico) and no problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Facuu:
Greekdragon we need slim mm on our devices (? Cmon mate haha just joking, it would be awesome though

Thanks for your effort
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bgxx:
Firstly, thanks for your efforts to improve this ROM.

I had already installed the latest "20151021" release ROM by fusionjack. My installation was according to the instructions given in the first post;

- I've first installed "SlimKernel-i9100-20140623.zip" as instructed.

- Then installed the rom (SlimSaber-i9100-4.4.4-20151021.zip)

- Lastly, installed mini gapps (Slim-Addons-mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107)

Everything was OK and I've been using this ROM for almost 3 months. Now, I would like to try the latest ROM (SlimSaber-i9100-4.4.4-20160214.zip).

How do we install this new ROM?

- Dirty flash directly "SlimSaber-i9100-4.4.4-20160214.zip" in recovery?

- Do we have to reinstall all the apps?

- All settings etc. (20151021-Fusionjack) preserved or not?

- Do we have to reinstall the "kernel", "gapps" etc. ?

- Any other comments or recommendations ?

Your comments will be appreciated.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Clean Wipe is necessary. Reinstall the apps.

Wipe cache,system,data.dalvik

Download mine's build, download gapps from opengapps.org(is up-to-date gapps).

Flash ROM, Gapps and SU if you want.

Enjoy
[Galaxy S II Android Development] limjh16:
If you dirty, you won't have to restore apps. Basic settings like contacts, saved wifi won't be wiped either way if I'm not wrong (wifi for me is saved when I went from liquid to slim on my own phone). But, dirty may have a lot of bugs.

Recommendation? Dont dirty, clean flash, wipe system data and of course both cache. Backup apps (user installed only, dont back up system apps!) with titanium backup/helium beforehand.

Hello, which kernel and its version is the best to use with last GreekDragon's build please?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
DorimanX kernel 10.50 v004 by Me :) If you don't like it, the built-in slimsaber kernel is still a great kernel (can be re-installed by reflashing the ROM).

Good job mate :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ingibi:
Ok so after updating to the latest version i have been having crashes and lags. For one thing before the update slim launcher never stopped working and sometimes i cant turn on my screeen and all of this happened right after the installation. please fix this and while you are at it return nova as the default launcher. oh and i know the problem is in the launcher because i installed nova launcher yesterday and the problems stopped.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr_S:
So first impressions of new build.

Just as fast as 4.2 imo. I'm using stock kernel stock settings and while restoring tb there is 0 lag as i type this which is a first on any rom I've tried on s2 no glitches and i have to say well done mr fusion jack. This is without a shadow of a doubt the fastest 4.3 rom.

Good work

Will test battery now and give further feedback

gets better.swype works
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sancho55:
Has anyone had issues with WiFi on this 4.3 version? I've had problems with it on standard SlimBean, a problem that seems to haunt many 4.3 roms.

Just wondering before i flash it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] junPhil:
This version really is smoother. I flashed the latest version and I'm very satisfied. Thanks! :)

Q: No Xposed framework yet for 4.3?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nos_20:
No, no Xposed for Slim yet. I have assisted Rovo89 in getting it working for Slim.

The next beta should work for us!

many thanks for the feedback. :angel::D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nerubian:
I've been using your builds happily, and I am waiting every release impatiently :) Your builds are extremely stable, smooth with the stock kernel. I was waiting for the graphics glitches fix to install 4.3 builds, and in a very short time fix came and you built really fast. Thanks for all your efforts.

I want to ask a few questions. ı wanted use other themes with your builds (like hue theme) and when i install these themes, i get an error as soon as I reboot like (system is not responding), and after that everything seems normal. Does anybody know the reason of this error?

After install a new build after full wipe, as usual i flash gapps. But the apps like hangout does not notify me when a new message comes. After i update these apps, i lose the inverted look, but notifications starts to work. So is there any problem with default gapps related to notification?

If anybody share his/her own way of customizing the rom after a new build with full wipe, i would be really happy.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gippy2:
System not responding I think you will find its cos hue theme is a bit bigger these days.Remember kroz talking to me about that ..just press on wait .....Hangouts I'm not sure what's going on there unless you had a very old version..Slims gapps updated to the latest hangouts ..its working fine here unless there has been another update and playstore hasn't informed me...Cos all my apps are saying up to date....

Also hue needs updating but kroz is to busy atm plus lost all his work.....

[MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION].....with this release its goodbye 4.2.2 from me ....:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jordan2012:
Cheers for this Fusion, I'm jumping ship to 4.3 now, so long 4.2.2 you served me well

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
Hey all Slimbeaners... First of all great work fusionjack, these builds are FAST! :D

I have one question, regarding standby battery life. No matter what I do, I can't get better than 0.5%/hour drain, even though deep sleep is 99.1%. On Rootbox, with exactly the same apps installed, exactly the same sync settings, I get 0.1-0.2%/hour drain. Might not sound like much but it means I lose 4% overnight instead of 1...

What percent battery drain in standby can all of you get? I'm at a loss what to change. BBS is reporting the same wakelocks as before on RB, and I'm using the same kernel (Dori), same governors, i/o, everything.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaNi_!:
May I ask what's the most stable version of this unofficial Slim ROM? The 4.2.2 or the 4.3?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] samdal:
4.2.2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr_S:
Official weekly's rolling out :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lezgy:
pedrocrv

Coming from previous unofficial build:

Wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Flash the unofficial build.

No need to re-flash gapps. Gapps will be restored back automatically by backup tool during flashing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedrocrv:
Thanks Lezgy!

Another question, when i installed this ROM, a friend of mine put in my phone a kitkat compatible cwm, but today, when i was about to make a nandroid backup, i have a twr recovery and i want back the other one, either to install this rom from scratch and other rom's in the future.

I have the zip file from kitkat compatible recovery in my external SDcard, what i should do to install it? Will i lose something on the phone?

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Viper The Ripper:
TWRP is also compatible with all roms ;) but if you want to back to cwm just flash it again :)

I'd recommend you to flash the CWM's last version (You can check it if you want to taste Android 6.x without troubles, It'd be the same procedure: download and flash the last version with IsoRecpatch for i9100) ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MikiGry:
What is wrong ? Phone is in deepsleep but :

The line is almost same like it was running at 200mhz with screen on all the time.

Note :

I managed to rich 2.5h of SOT , but phone eats battery rapidly even when i"m not using it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MikiGry:
I notced , that every time i lose another % of battery , this error appears in logcat.

What does it mean ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
[MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION], [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION] thank you for an awesome ROM and attention to detail (was touched when I saw wifi.supplicant_scan_interval already set to a higher value to save battery!). I briefly dipped my toes (well, my i9100 :) ) in CM12.1 waters but found it to be way too laggy after a few hours of use to stand. KitKat may have a dated UI but at least I don't have to wait a minute for Maps to open!

Came across two problems:

(1) toggling Settings > Mobile networks > National data roaming greys out all options on the screen; you have to go back and reopen Mobile networks to change anything else.

(2) Google Play services FC :( This seems to have been discussed a lot a few pages back and should be related to location mode being set to "High" together with certain compiler settings but I was under the impression that this should already be solved with more recent builds? Running SlimSaber-i9100-4.4.4-20160214 + DorimanX-V10.50v005-LINARO-4.9 + open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20160405. Tried clearing dalvik a few times, reflashing gapps, clearing app cache and data to no avail. Could this be related to battery drain reported by [MENTION=5468078]MikiGry[/MENTION]?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MikiGry:
[MENTION=260444]davidcie[/MENTION]

I havent had a single FC with google play. I still have this terrible battery drain , but i have noticed , that it goes away when i disable mobile radio (offline mode). As soon as i turn it on back , drain comes back.

I think i have a hardware damage. Whenever i turn off offline mode phone reacts like i pressed home button 2 times (not a rom bug). I think i have sth wrong with radio.

[MENTION=637664]Greek[/MENTION]Dagon i have to report , that getting acces to the internet viad sb's device over BT doest work. It connects and after 0.1 second disconnect.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
What version of gapps did you install?

That is strange... does it happen with other ROMs? If yes perhaps you could try cleaning the button :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MikiGry:
[MENTION=260444]davidcie[/MENTION]

I useed this gapps :

open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20160327.zip

About that home button thing. I noted that , when i was on AICP. Than i clean flahed stock 4.1.2 , installed this rom and it didnt go away. It happens when i turn on and off offline mode. Sometimes Home start reacting without touching it. But ralry on mobile data and more often (but still pretty rarly) when i"m on WI-FI. Whenever that happens , app (which i were currently using) gets minimalised.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
This sure sounds like a hardware problem, never seen anything like it (and my device has seen a lot of ROMs over the past four years)! What sometimes happens to my S2 is the opposite, ie. Home not reacting to lighter presses and only registering a click with a more deliberate press.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
Just to update everyone willing to try this ROM — AFAIK there's no way around GApps "High Accuracy" location mode Play Services FCs on the latest [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION] build [size=-2](SlimSaber-i9100-4.4.4-20160214)[/size]. I've tried latest Open GApps Pico [size=-2](open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20160405)[/size], latest PA GApps Pico [size=-2](pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150410-signed)[/size] and latest Slim GApps Mini [size=-2](Slim-Addons-mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107)[/size], with Dalvik Cache wipe and Google Services Framework + Google Play services app cache and data wipe. Every GApps package was installed after full wipe (cache, system, data, eMMC). The "Google Play services has stopped" message still appears every now and then on each and every one.

So frustrating as I was hoping this ROM would be the end of my quest for the smoothest (and thus most usable for daily use) ROM out there :(

EDIT: attaching logs in case someone will find them useful.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MikiGry:
[MENTION=260444]davidcie[/MENTION]

Try to install exactly same version of gapps i used before. On open gapps page there should be the option to download older relase of gapps. If not , i can mirror it for you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cikenkari:
Do clean installation (like wipe all), install ROM, install gapps, then reboot.

Between install ROM and install gapps do not reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
This is exactly what I said I did in between trying the three different GApps packages. (No rebooting in between.) But thanks for suggestion all the same.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
Found it, tried (wipe, install ROM, install GApps), same thing happens — as soon as I switch location mode to "High Accuracy" and reboot, I start seeing "Google Play services has stopped" messages. Clearing cache and Google Play services & framework app data does not help. Back to "Device only" location mode :(

EDIT: did more extensive testing: removed Xposed and did not install DorimanX thinking FCs could be caused by either of these two additional components. No change.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MikiGry:
[MENTION=260444]davidcie[/MENTION]

It"s DorimanX fault , bacause i"m running latest SlimSaber with Xponsed framework + stock kernel and i can set location to high accuracy mode and nothing bad happes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
Tried stock kernel, same thing happens so this shouldn't be Dori's fault... Will try to record a video tomorrow demonstrating my steps, hopefully I'm doing something Very Bad and the ROM itself is fine :) Which recovery are you using? (@Lanchon IsoRec TWRP 2.8.7.0 here.)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MikiGry:
[MENTION=260444]davidcie[/MENTION]

I always use CWM-KitKatComlatible-i9100.zip for installing roms.

My procedure looks like that :

1. Recovery mode

2. Wipe data/factory reset

3. wipe cache

4.wipe dalvik cache

5. format/system

6. Install rom

7. Install gapps

8. Reboot system
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
Ehh, wasted 25 minutes recording my steps tonight: SlimSaber + Open GApps, when no FCs appeared then Dori, when no FCs appeared then Xposed, and still no FCs..! Had to cancel my investigations and restore a nandroid backup as phone is wife's daily driver and evening was coming to an end.

(After restore tried to turn "High Accuracy" on hoping that the problem fixed itself in the meantime but lo and behold got an instant FC.)

Hope to have time for more testing tomorrow.

How battery life are you experiencing? Is the camera better than cm, or it is the same like stock samsung jb? I'm seriously thinking about to flash :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Battery life is better compared to CM12 and CM13. Camera is more or less the same as other AOSP roms, except you still have all of the advanced camera features unlike stock CM12 and CM13 camera app. Stock sammy rom still take the best pictures IMO.

Camera image quality and camera features are better on stock samsung rom. Also stock camera is easiest to use.

Battery life of CM is the same or worst than stock rom.

Overall CM is worst than stock rom. Stock rom has more features and is more stable and more bug free, performance is the same. But CM is 4.4 and stock is 4.1.2.

GPS Mod

After i found this post , i start to experiment with sirfgps.conf . Enabling external LNA works very good, since on internal LNA i only get gps signals outside, while inside my home no signal after all. I tried different configurations on gps.cfg and disabling most of them seems to work even better [fell free to experiment yourself, i was comparing gps.cfg with one from SG mini 2 - cm10.1, (i know it has different hardware but a good gps, 10-12 sats. fixed) only to found a ntp_server, extra_server and supl_host&port].

I was thinking to make a new thread, but since it's only working on slimsaber, possible on other 4.4.4 roms. I tested on AICP MM, it wont find any sats.

I tested different apps ,AndroiTS GPS Test Pro, GPS Test, GPS Data, and i don't know why GPS Status & Toolbox always find 6-8 sats. , maybe it works different from other apps!

Make a backup first, change your ntp server to your country, extract and replace files in /system/etc.

Oh god, I'm getting the dreaded Google Play Services FC thing again.

I did a full wipe, installed [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION] 's latest rom build, installed the latest gapps from slimrom site ("latest", but still about a year old), and everything is working fine except i get numerous Google Play Services FC on reboot. I of course updated Google Play Services from within Play Store as soon as I installed the rom. My Play Services is now version 9.0.82

I've gone into Settings and cleared the data for Google Play Services, which provides temporarily relief, but upon rebooting I still get a triangle notification about "Unknown error with google play services", and then I get lots of FC messages.

I remember having this error a long time ago - I thought it had been fixed already? Somebody helped me fix it last time, I can't remember who, maybe [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]?
