well as you can see from your image, mediaserver and facebook is the main culprits for your problem. For mediaserver, I would try wiping the cache and if possible do a factory reset. For other apps, delete them. You'll have more ram after that :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Wongkonka:
Try downclocking CPU speed to 800MHz. On demand with io scheduler to row or cfg. This has extended on time by 3-5 more hours
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RoRo1990:
Yes this only started happening since I installed this Rom. I did a wipe of before I installed it. There also is no way from what I'm seeing and looking into the recovery for this Rom to reset the battery stats. Which I think this issue is cause my phone shuts down shortly after the issue and when I reboot my battery will jump back much higher than before
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:
Any post or link with more detailed info about this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
I'd never underclock my phone, if I wanted an 800MHz phone, I would have bought some less powerful phone.

Btw, this ROM does not have battery saving feature, god knows what you're talking about.

When my headphones are plugged in.. when someone calls me.. the sound go on headphones and NOT the speakers..how to fix it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
Change launcher to Nova or simmilar ;)

Headphone jack dead?...Did you ty another headphones to exclude broken headphones ?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Not that..my eng sucks obviously..When my headphones are plugged in when someone calling me, the song(of call ring) sounds in the headphones but not from the speaker of the cell phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
That's normal behaviour as far as i'm aware....you're on custom rom my friend....that's a fact ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
Just get yourself a new battery....your battery will die soon....I experienced the exactly same thing....while in use...battery drops very fast....then....after huge drop....just turn off screen...put device away and don't use it for some 15min ....check on battery again...it magically raised back to certain percentage ....and what will be the last thing that will happen to you is that you won't be able to make a decent call...let's say that device will die after a 2 minutes call duration ...then you'll realize that you need new battery....and no...there's no battery calibration for S2 as it's somehow auto calibrated by itself....so....the choice is yours....:)

I'm with a little problem... I've made a sms backup from my previous Rom, but when i try to see my restored backup on this rom, the Messages App just crash and do nothing,...

what can i do to solve this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
nothing....or restore previous rom....it's a system data conflict and it ain't gonna work....my guess is that you were on some lower Android version than 4.4.x right?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Viper The Ripper:
Flash a fresh STOCK 4.1.2. ROM using Odin, then root your phone and flash a custom recovery (do a backup, just to be sure). Finally flash a CWM compatible recovery with KK and flash SlimSaber or another KK ROM ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] G-A:
Thank you!

Considering this issue, how big the system partition needs to be in order to carry the full gapps pack ?

I am considering increasing the data partition size anyway, so I might increase enough the system partition too.

Thank you. :)

Hello again!

I come from Android 4.1.2 and when i in the past received messages, the lockscreen as a "shortcut" to go directly to messages app. Now in this rom, as i could see, there is no shortcut. Is there any way to have this shortcut back?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Go to Settings > Security > Screen Lock > Change it to Slide > Slider Targets and Shortcuts > Slider Targets > The rest is easy to know...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pedrocrv:
Thanks for the reply, but it's not what i want because its only possible to go to the message box and not to the more recent message received...

But anyway thanks! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Ohhh... Then, if you are using Nova Launcher, it may be possible... Instead of choosing the Application > Messaging, select Activities > Messaging > Pick the Activity... I don't know which one, though... Just try them all out... If still no luck, then you kinda have not enough choice but to deal with the default messaging... :p

How to do this?

Hi all,

I am giving my i9100 to friend of mine but would like to give it fresh and clean but still keep this great ROM.

Currently the phone is on SlimSaber 4.4.4. 20140928 which was incredibly stable, no issues at all. (Yes, thanks to FusionJack)

Is it wise to download latest version or keep current one? Which one would be newer but stable?

In any case I would really appreciate if someone can give simple instructions as I really forgot so much since I bought new phone.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Even the April 2015 build has released, I still use the December build, 122114, to be specific... And it is rock stable. I would recommend you to use that, since I'm still using it til now. More stable when flashed with Apolo 7.3... :good:

:D :) ;) :good:

Heating during fresh install?

Coming from Cyanogenmod LP (horrible experience - must have been the Play services bug) to Resurrection Remix 5.4.3 ... with average battery life. I was suggested this rom. From the thread, it looks like its really good one for S2 (thanks a lot in advance!). All I want is a good battery life until I get a good deal on G3 or S5 in the next few months.

Did a fresh install of 20150406 and mini gapps (format, wipe etc etc) and rebooted. Device became really hot while Google was syncing (to restore my account). Tried rebooting and still hot (and battery dropping really fast). Apps were also getting reinstalled.

Now, the syncing and auto app installation is done and no more heating.

Just wanted to know if this is normal - I thought this build fixed the Google Play services battery drain/heating bug. And will I see the heating/drain later?

I will also post updates in a few hours once the battery is fully charged.

Another issue - as soon as i plug in/out a usb cable, there is a ringtone being played and is non-stop. I can't figure out a way to stop it (am sure reboot will fix it). Anyone seen this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
Install BBS as system app, leave your phone for a while, and get log from BBS. From there you can see if there's anything weird in the background.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abuduri:
Tried the following - rebooted - ofcourse no more nonstop ring tone. But the moment I plugin the usb cable, it starts again and its nonstop. Luckily, I swiped from the top to look at the notifications and the sound stopped! I connected the cable again, non-stop ringtone, swipe to see notifications - stopped!! Is this a setting am missing? Or is it a bug?

Will install BBS anyways and check the logs and report.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
Never heard of that, and never experienced it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abuduri:
BTW, am not sure what am looking (or should look) for in BBS ... will play around anyways ... any quick help/pointers? Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
If you did a full wipe including /data, try booting into recovery and doing a factory reset, then reboot. If you have data you don't want to lose try just wiping cache and dalvik cache then rebooting. Sometimes weird problems dissappear after these wipes in my experience
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Hmm... That's strange... Never experienced it myself also pal... Try a clean flash but NOT on KitKat-compatible CWM, but on the Stock TWRP. I have issues when I flash on the CWM (Keyboard very slow and freezes, Play Store not responding, com.android.something has stopped prompts, etc...) but when I flash on TWRP (coming from the Stock SlimSaber Kernel or the Apolo), no issues... Maybe it's only me, but I would suggest you also to flash SlimSaber via TWRP. And do take note that I always Clean Flash ROMs. You might do as well... :D

:D :) ;) :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abuduri:
Thanks souler456/noppy22 ... I just followed the instructions for a fresh/clean install (I always do this even for upgrades)

1. Wipe data and factory reset

2. Clear cache and dalvik cache

3. Mount system and format system manually

4. Install ROM

5. Install gapps

6. Reboot

Do I still need to try the stock approach and re-install?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
Well... If you have a backup of your files... Then... I don't see why not... If problem still persists, at least you've tried... :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abuduri:
Am going to keep using the way it is for now to see if the problems persist (just so I can make a pattern of it). Then if it still continues, I will do a factory reset and try again - and if still, will re-install from stock.

Will post updates ...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ivanws:
Any ideas? Battery drain..i have kernel apolo :( sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FullWipe:
To find out which wakelocks drain your battery you should install betterbatterystats and watch wakelocks and partial wakelocks.

Once you find what is the process that keeps awake the CPU, you can decide how to intervene

Before that you can not do anything
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
SlimSaber has it's own Wakelock Detector, located at Settings > Advance Options > Performance > Wakelock... No need to install BBS anymore... It's actually easier since if when you found out what wakelock it is, you can long-press the wakelock activity to directly Google Search the said wakelock... :good:

Hello,

I have an issue with the latest build of skype (5.3.0.67354) under SlimSaber 4.4.4 (Build 04/06/15 of [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]).

When I try to open skype I get the error message "Skype has stopped".

With Catlog I could locate the error (see attached screenshot) but I don't know what's the reason for that because previous skype build (5.3.0.65524) works without a problem :confused:

On my Galaxy Tab S tablet with android 4.4.2 stock ROM latest skype build works without a problem, also another user told me, that it works on his S5, so it must be a problem of latest SlimSaber build..

maybe also [MENTION=5103629]thunder45[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4476864]g3ckospy[/MENTION] could help to eliminate this bug in hopefully one of the next builds of SlimSaber 4.4.4 if there will still come updates !?

Many thanks in advance

I doubt this would do anything. As I said earlier, skype has been quite unstable on some roms. I believe it can be fixed by a rom developer or other developer.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
Yeah it's a weird problem, and it has existed for a while now. I'm starting to think that we're abandoned from further slimsaber development (which is not the case). I know skype is working fine with cm12 and I think cm11 from [MENTION=1597520]Markox89[/MENTION]. I also believe that skype (or now microsoft) can't fix this problem as it is ROM related that's causing this problem.

Please check if it is really this build: 5.3.0.67354

It's the one from the PS, 5.3.0.65524
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abuduri:
Some updates ...

1. The heating/drain problem continued. What I found is that every time data was being used (Wifi or 3G doesnt matter), phone was heating up badly and battery draining a lot. I mean, just simple facebook, maps, linkedin, etc

2. I couldn't figure out what am looking for in BBS stats (kernel wakelocks or partial wakelocks or other or process?). I'll try to read some guides or manuals

3. I rebooted to recovery, used TWRP to wipe out/factory reset/system format etc and reflashed again fresh/clean.

4. Upon booting and setup, the heating returned since apps began to auto-download.

5. The non-stop ringtone upon plugging in a charger/usb cable still exists. Ringtone stops if you swipe from the top to look at notifications

5. Something interesting ... I went into Google Play and hit STOP to stop the auto-download of apps. In a few minutes, the heating reduced and became normal. I turned off, removed the battery for a few mins to cool it even more and then rebooted. Now, I went into Google Play, manually selected the apps and selected Install. Now interestingly, the apps were getting installed but didn't find any/much heating as before. Not sure why. Checked after 10 mins or so and still not much heating. Dozed off and checked sometime middle of the night and saw all apps were installed and no heat.

Will continue to use data and see if the heating still exists.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

I forgot to mention another issue ... when the mobile is in a heated state and I reboot (say at 60% battery level), the battery takes a sudden plunge after reboot and shows only 30% or lower and continues to drain fast while browsing or data (wifi or 3G doesnt matter).

Media scanner battery drain issue?

After a some debugging the last few days, I think I kinda know what the issue is with my phone.

Full clean install again ... Mainly using Fb and browsing etc, I got great battery life (1+ day) and I haven't seen such long duration in years now. See screenshots "BeforeViber1", "BeforeViber2", "BeforeViber3". Then I installed Viber/Whatsapp and the problems got back. Heated up almost instantly and battery drain was really bad. See "AfterViber" screenshot.

Looks like some kind of media scanning issue. I thought this bug was fixed in previous builds (checked earlier posts). Any ideas how to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
Media scanner shouldn't be related to viber.

Go to the terminal and type

lsof | grep media_rw

See if it is stuck on some file.

Also install 3C toolbox, go to the tasks, cpu %, and see if it is media scanner that is eating up your cpu.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] abuduri:
Thanks [MENTION=4313195]Nightshadow931[/MENTION]

Will try that. I have another theory. My external SD card (patriot 32GB) has been "corrupted" for a while - means, it has/had data in it but no longer mounts (happened almost a year ago but never bothered to fix it). So I can't access my SD card. May be Viber tries to initiate a scan of media and then things get stuck?

Am going to remove the SD card and try installing Viber (along with your instructions) and see what happens. Will update with results.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abuduri:
Looks like my guess was right. The "corrupt" SD card was indeed causing an issue. I removed the card, rebooted, installed Viber and Whatsapp and no issues so far. Battery holding really well.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amnya:
Do a battery calibration. This helped me reduce this issue dramatically.

For me i'd blindly say the problem is in viber. Each time this virus is installed on any phone, it starts acting up and eating the resources and making the device slow, laggy and battery drains quick. Remove viver and all would return to normal. Same with skype. But with Skype one i sign out it no longer eats any resources. With viber is always connected and waiting for a call. This makes it a battery eater.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vickymbbs:
How to calibrate the battery??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amnya:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] abuduri:
No, there has never been any issue with Viber for me ever. And as I mentioned in my previous post, I confirmed that this issue was indeed due to a corrupt SD card I had. After removing it and installing Viber/Whatsapp, there are no issues (so far) and battery is holding steady really well (my guess is it will last 30h or more).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] thunder45:
Now it seems to be an application (skype) issue. Its libcodecs.so fails to find the method to create a CameraSource. The method it misses is very similar to this one:

static CameraSource *CreateFromCamera(const sp<ICamera> &camera,
const sp<ICameraRecordingProxy> &proxy,
int32_t cameraId,
const String16& clientName,
uid_t clientUid,
Size videoSize,
int32_t frameRate,
const sp<IGraphicBufferProducer>& surface,
bool storeMetaDataInVideoBuffers = false);

The code above is part of /system/lib/libstagefright.so, while libcodecs.so is part of Skype package.

We have a type mismatch between them.

It will be hard to find the root cause of it without the help of a skype developer, since we don`t know how libcodecs.so is built.

I have seen a lot of changes on stagefright for cm-12 recently:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_av

but almost nothing on cm-11. Maybe this newer skype beta is only compatible to LP.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
As said before, it works on 4.4.2 stock ROM on my tablet without any issues but thanks anyway for your help :)

It is a beta build I think so no problem at all, next official play store build will work normally I guess :)

I faced another problem:

My father told me, that he sent me some SMS but they could not be delivered.

So I checked it again yesterday with some friends and I received no single SMS.. Although some of them even got a delivery message and that I have read the SMS!?

What could be the reason?

Anybody else having problems?

I flashed dirty from december SlimSaber build to April 6 build with Uber and my battery life also is not very good, maybe that could be the reason..!?
