I'm sorry to bump this thread again, but this Google Play FC issue is extremely frustrating, especially when you wipe/reflash everything several times and it still keeps happening. I thought this had been solved ages ago.

Thanks Greekdragon for your help so far. but can anybody please help me solve it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
[MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION],

Thanks for the Xposed installer... Working great....Gapps surely is giving errors at times though I'm not using Open Gapps Pico but it's so far fine to me.. I'm however having heating issues.... I'm on dorimanx... Any suggestions...

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
I'm amazed to feel the smoothness in this ROM..... Started from scratch to full wipe and flashed along with open gapps pico... No FCs so far... But I still feel device is rather hot when medium intensive tasks.... Great work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
I think I was too fast to quote Google Play Service FCs...... It again started to appear and had to restore nandroid I had made before flashing GApps.... Heating issue is still present...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ultravy:
From old build - [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] , to [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION] version not a single fc! even the last build, dirty flash rom, dorimanx kernel=>reboot ! try to use gapps from op, doesn't matter that are old, worked for me! do not reboot between rom and gapps!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
I'm having hearing issues..... followed by a fast draining of battery even in light use..... However the deep sleep is very good with very small battery drain.... the device becomes hot just within over minutes of user...Have you faced such issues? B
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ultravy:
I think you have an app that eat up your cpu! You can try a little uv and limited to 800 - 1 ghz. here are my voltages! CPu group 3.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
Thanks, Slim Saber seemed very smooth and even faster in opening apps even compared to stock ROM but I just went back to stock only due to the heating issues... BBS didn't show any apps running in the background.... I might have missed something but for now I'm at stock and planning to flash LP... Thank you very much... Your info will help me if I might want to resign to 4.4 Slim Saber...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ultravy:
You can check in settings=>battery to see what app is running, using better battery stats or a task manager to free more ram, also read post #2 from op , but i think those problems are gone by now. i always fall back to this rom after trying new roms :D !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
Was having the exact same problem with the previous build + DoriX KK v005. In my case it was high accuracy mode that triggered the FCs. You can try to switch to "device only" mode to see if it helps. More of a workaround and not a permanent solution I know but had to make do with that!

[MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION] anything we can log to help either of you nail the problem and put that last nail in its coffin once and for all?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
I did use the gaps from op. Same issue. I'm also not even using a custom kernel. Just the latest rom build from [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION]

Still getting FCs after restart, multiple times. Highly annoying. How has this bug returned?

What on earth is going on?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
Good that we at least narrowed it down to not being related to whatever DorimanX optimizations [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] might have baked in! Do you run Xposed? Have you tried to change your location mode from high accuracy to device only?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
I don't use Xposed or anything.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
You use one of the GPS / location modes. Which one?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
High accuracy, of course.

I tried switching to battery-saving, restarted, and FC's SEEM, for now, not to be happening. But I'm pretty sure that's already established as the issue? The question is how do we resolve it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
That's what the culprit was many months ago IIRC, but asking for as much info as possible from you because assuming this or that can waste a lot of devs' time. If you want your issue resolved you might want to do the same :) Give as much info as possible and then maybe someone will have an educated guess...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
This problem was thought to be solved a while ago after compiling without o3 flags for ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61401014&postcount=17772

Much has changed since then. [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION], any thoughts on this?

gsstudios
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
[MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] I spoke too soon, still getting some FC's even when location is set to Battery-Save mode
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Well, all i can do is to build without O3, and i will test it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
This is build without O3 flags. I tested the 3 options of location and I didn't get Force close. Clean wipe is recommended to avoid errors. Report back guys.

EDIT: Build is down! re-uploading with the proper fix.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Removed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
Thanks very much! I'll try it later tonight.

Can I just ask... If we knew that O3 was the reason for FC's since last year, then why has it not always been removed since? Why did it get included again?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
Any updates here? I'm still having to manually clear Google Play Services cache multiple times per day :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
You have to wait. Right now Exams are beating my a$$ currently.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xkons:
Hey guys my S3 has died on me so I'm back to using my old S2. I'm upgrading from fusionjack's build to GreekDragon's one and I'm wondering which Dori Kernel is supposed to be flashed with this ROM. Is it the "Kernel_Dorimanx-V10.50v006-21-15-18-05-KK-SGII-GSSTUDIOS-UBER-6.0-TRIM"?

EDIT: currently on Greek's SlimSaber without Dorimanx and everything works fine. Will attempt to install xposed and audio mods next.

EDIT2: nvm the extra mods after turning the device off to insert SIM and sd card I constantly get Google Play Services FC using opengapps pico

EDIT3: No FCs when GPS disabled
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Yes, the build that should be flashed is Kernel_Dorimanx-V10.50v006-21-15-18-05-KK-SGII-GSSTUDIOS-UBER-6.0-TRIM.

Always the latest and greatest :)

Can i use 1 GB Pit which is mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162,

with this Rom?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Wolfey7:
I'm using 1GB system right now on this rom.

Sent from my Galaxy S II
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Showon:
Can some one give me links for these ?

1) Last version of GreekDragon's SlimSaber which didnt have FC's

2) A battery friendly version of DorimanX kernel.

And is it necessary to have 1 gb system partition for kitkat :confused:

And SlimSaber works good on Art ??

Currently on NeatRom 6.4 and apolo kernel , I wanted a stable version of kk rom and it seems im at the right place :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
1) Last good build I used: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676754

2) Download latest Linaro build of DorimanX: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-dorimanx-jb-4-4-4-t3123487

1GB system partition is not required on kitkat, however if you want to upgrade to a newer android version or want to use larger gapps, then you will have to re-partition.

It is highly recommended to stay with dalvik on android 4.4. ART should only be used on android versions 5.1 and above (and that's why it is the default).

Try fusionjack's last build with my latest kernel (DorimanX 10.50 v007).

BTW, TRIM kernels are highly recommended even if you have brickbug affected chip.

Nothing to report, no fixes on the horizon???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
Have you tried only installing ROM without Gapps..... It's amazing.... Though you'll have to sacrifice some stuffs like googled contact sync, YouTube, etc which requires Google services installed....

If not have you tried flashing build by fusion jack with the Gapps in the OP?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ham1do:
Extract it in twrp/Buckups/..folder , then restore boot from twrp

It's last version kernel ( 19/05 biild )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] davidcie:
For us this phone is now reduced to GPS logger duty and this is exactly what I did — installed just the ROM w/o GApps. Left it running in a drawer for a couple of days and pulled it now to check battery usage... pretty amazing IMO :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
[MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION] Are you planning to do a fix for this continuing FC issue? Or have you chosen to abandon this ROM for other things? :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rhod-Wulf:
Hi everyone!.

I found this build as the most recent (By GreekDragon):

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533103863141789

Someone know something about that?.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Yes. Greekdragon's build has security updates and kernel changes over the last real slimsaber build.

It should be noted that his builds suffer from Google Play Store FCs.

Saber
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rhod-Wulf:
Yes, i saw that isue. But, for now, looks like work fine.

I hope they folow working on Android 4.4.4. Is the best for i9100.

Thank you!.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
What, so you have tried this build and you're not getting FC's??? Are you sure?? What gapps did you use?

Can anyone confirm?

What's the latest version of SlimSaber I can use that DOESN'T have FC's?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ultravy:
Read five post up! I don't know how some of the users are getting fc's! i had no fc with slimroms gapps, or opengapps.org! Try [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION] build.

no, i have no interest.

you could learn making a rom with android kitchen tho. just look for it in xda
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ferdinandgab:
im coming from pac man, everything went good but then it started to get really slow and i got back to stock. im interested on this one but ive read about those FC. what version of this rom works? and which google apps? i have downloaded opengapps mini
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
For ROM, you can use the latest fusionjack build or greekdragon build.

From what I've seen, I've never encountered FCs using both builds.

As for gapps, you can use slim addons or opengapps pico.

Saber.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ferdinandgab:
thank you i will try greekdragon because its the most recent one.

i think kitkat is the best version for this old phone.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

just one more little question. any of this versions (fusionjack build or greekdragon build) has lockscreen notifications or active screen and most important the "buttons" seccion? because my home button is broken so ive always change the recent apps button to long press in the menu button
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
There are lockscreen notifications you can enable and there is an option to remap the button actions.

Saber.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Oshino:
I have a few questions:

1. How do i make screenshots (the old method doesnt work)

2. Is there a way to clear my ram - like in jellybeans? (there was a button that basically shut down every app etc)

3. Is the dorimanx kernel still recommended/ what kind of differences will i notice if i flash it (positive and negative)

Thanks in advance for the Information.

(and a great thank you for the (so far) great working rom)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
1. One of the easiest ways you can make screenshots is by making the option available in the power menu.

2. No way to clear RAM like in JB. Don't really have to because KK is smarter than JB and also less bloat.

3. Dorimanx is still recommended. Stock slimkernel is still fine, but you won't get the advanced features in DorimanX.

Saber :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lownita:
Besides dorimanx, are there other isorec compatible kernels for this rom? Stock kernel doesn't support it, right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
Hi,

Thank you for this fantastic ROM !

The link to disable CellBroadcastReceive's settings is no more valid : could you please explain me how to do that ?

Thanx and congrats for your awesome work ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
You can use Greekdragon's Slimsaber build and use the in-built kernel as it has isorec support.

Saber ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
Hi Saber,

I've found screen recording to put in the power menu but didn't find screenshot (photo only) : can you please explain me how to enable it in the settings ?

Thanx !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
There is a power menu settings somewhere in the settings menu that can allow you to add screenshot and other toggles. I can't quite remember the exact steps to get to that menu but that's all I can remember.

Saber ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
Found it, thank you it wasn't hard indeed. Just needed to see the "add" (+) in navigation option / main menu ;)

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
Hi again,

I wasn't able to find the GreekDragon's build (many threads found but only for Android > KK) : could someone please give me the link ?

I would like to flash the lastest build as this one seems a little bit too old - oct 2015 (some incompatibilities).

Also, I saw my battery draning today, don't know if it is already known issue ?

Thanx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Here is the link (just searched in this thread):

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676754

With the battery draining issue, I need more details such as a better battery stats report.

Saber ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
Great, many thanx Saber !

The flashing instructions are the same that for fusionjack ? Should I wipe everything before ?

I am on the fusionjack last kernel right now : should I update it too to another kernel ? And which recovery to use (right now I'm on : TWRP 2.7.1.0)?

About battery stats report : where can I find it in order to post here ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Dirty flash should be fine, however I always clean flash to prevent any battery drain issues.

As for battery stats report, install better battery stats on your phone, let it run for a few hours then save the dumpfile (share button). Optionally, you could just take a screenshot of the battery stats in the settings menu (but less detailed).

Saber ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
OK then I'll wipe system too. But before flashing I have to buy this app, or there is a free version ?

Also, about kernel, the last fusionjack's OK or I should switch to another one ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Have a look at the XDA thread for the app. The developer is awesome so if you want to support, you can buy the app from the play store.

If you are asking whether the current kernel you are using is alright to flash the new ROM, then yes it is fine.

If you are asking whether you should use the kernel once flashing the new ROM build, you should just use the kernel that comes with the ROM as flashing any kernels shouldn't be necessary.

Saber ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
Fabulous, you answered better than my questions ;)

Thank you and I will surely buy it; it's not very expensive and it seems to be very usefull ;)

I have just some last questions : the same gapps that' in fusionjack's 1st post has to be flashed after this ROM too or it's already integrated in GreekDragon's build? Is formatting F2FS recommended for this ROM and if yes how can I do it with TWRP 2.7.1.0 ? Thanx again !!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
Hi [MENTION=5811506]Saber[/MENTION]

I saved a dumpfile but don't know where to find it.

Also, could you please answer my last questions b4 I flash : does the same gapps that's in fusionjack's 1st post has to be flashed after this ROM too or it's already integrated in GreekDragon's build? Is formatting F2FS recommended for this ROM and if yes how can I do it with TWRP 2.7.1.0 ? Thanx again !!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
The dumpfile is saved on your internal storage.

If you want google play store, you need to flash the gapps either from the OP or from opengapps. It is not integrated into the ROM.

F2FS is not recommended for this ROM, and it is the same with all of the other ROMs. You should only use ext4.

Saber ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
Hello [MENTION=5811506]Saber[/MENTION],

Well I've flashed the last GreekDragon's build and first I would just like to share that PICO TTS isn't working (it was the same with fusionjack's build).

So, I followed this guide and put another TTS which is working very well ;)

Now, I would like to restore SMS and some other app's data which I've saved with Titanium (free version on playstore) but after installing Titanium it doesn't see my saves which come from previous fusionjack's build. Do you know if I can restore them anyway and if yes, how to proceed ? (i've never used Titanium sorry for my noobiness)

Then I'll put BetterBatteryStats and make a new dumpfile to check the battery. Thanx !!!

NB : i've put zzmoove governor in advanced option / performance governor with governor settings / profile_number = 2 (highly recommanded by fuisionjack for battery) but after boot I loose it (I've checked apply on boot), is it normal ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
With titanium backup, there should be a titanium backup folder in your internal sd containing your apps and data. If the folder is not present, it probably got deleted or something wrong may have happened (factory reset will have no affect to the saves). In the menu of TB, can you see any backups under the restore missing apps option? If not, this will confirm something has happened to all of the backup data.

As for zzmoove, I never use the in-built performance menu but I would highly recommend trying kernel adiutor. It may just be an issue with the ROM itself not restoring kernel values (or the governor not being setup correctly for profile changing).

Saber ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
OK I've transfered Titanium folder from external sd to internal storage and now I can see it. I've tried restoring SMS/MMS data only and reboot and it didn't restore any SMS. The same with app+data.

To be worse, after first reboot I have "google play services app stopping..." pop-ups which is very annoying :(

I would like to try kernel adiutor but where can I find the instructions ? In this thread or somewhere else ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crazyboot:
I've solved the "google play services has stopped" repeating pop-up by erasing data in settings / applications / google play services.

Titanium for SMS/MMS wasn't best idea, next time I'll use SMS Backup & Restore ;)

Titanium for non-messaging apps worked well, however.

I was wondering if the draining battery wasn't in fact the problem with jauging. I'll make a try with this (right now, I'm charging the phone).

[MENTION=5811506]Saber[/MENTION], could you please explain me how to make the best battery setting in kernel adiutor ?

Thanx and cheers ;)
