[MENTION=4525399]Grigster[/MENTION] I am working on build 4. I need to figure out what we need to change in order to LP to boot.

Added SuperSU v2.48 (beta) + Linaro 4.9.3 (March 2015). No ETA pls, I will do my best! Thanks in advance!

[MENTION=962829]stylemessiah[/MENTION] at least I am trying to improve DorimanX. And I do this in my spare time. If you don't like my (newbie) work, you can use any other kernel. I never said that this is the best (Dorimanx) kernel. NO! Just personal builds (as you see in the title!). Peace! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Not bad
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Sheesh, thats a lot of flashing dude

Got no problems with you doing whatever you like.

Everything i said was factually correct. and at the time of the madness in the original DorimanX thread, if you remember i did thank you as you actually (unlike BlackRain) did do the right thing in the end and create your own thread :)

Never said you claimed yours was better or anything else, merely pointed out that at various times those with personal builds were pointing users back to Cybernetus's build while you were working on bugs etc, and that of people did experience issues that they should try the same.

No malice was meant

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
There may be a permissions issue when you were trying to install dorimanx. Can be solved by flashing back stock rom then reflash custom rom and dorimanx (happened to me a couple of months ago). I'm pretty sure it can also be solve by re partitioning and fixing permissions before flashing. But the only way I got wifi working properly was to flash stock rom and etc.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Since i think fix permissions was removed from CWM a while back, you could also try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissionfix&hl=en

OR

Might it be be worth trying to flash the kernel via ODIN too, that might solve the permissions issues?

You'd need to convert the kernel (if only supplied in zip format) from zip to tar using this tool (made by someone you know :) ): http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/convert-kernel-zip-to-tar-t2994381

Used this handy tool myself a few times

Just a thought. If either did work, might be quicker than a revert to stock etc...

In other news:

Some people have reported spontaneous reboots when exiting apps etc and some have theorised it may be related to a specific kernel. I had one last night using the stock SlimKernel when i exited out of BetterBattery stats after granting root and installing as a system app. I hit the back key twice and boom, reboot. So its not xx kernels fault it seems.

So far i have been testing the stock SlimKernel as ive never really used it before (usually my process for flashing is flashing the ROM, GApps, DorimanX, SuperSu update and the StaticNav and reboot), i thought id have put it on by now, but the battery usage on the latest update hasnt really led to me swapping over yet. Ill probably get around to it in a couple of days and then update if theres any weirdness.

Apart from the one random reboot the ROM seems fine :)

In still more news:

Servicely - If you are looking for a possible alternative/replacement for Greenify, then it may be for you...no Xposed Framework needed

Too many bugs in the 5.0.x code

It's not that bad. I've been using 5.0.x versions of cyanogenmod, which (cm11) was always a bugfest, at least for me, and I can tell it's pretty stable

[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
I'm scared to imagine how big will bugfest become for us on G3 when we get update to 5.1....5.0.2 is somewhat ok.....but....bugs are present that's a fact....:(

Stable is....just a word....but day to day experience shows real stability....well yeah....never been fan of CM since GB but now I have no other options left than CM....even Slim has CM bugs due to the fact that Slim Team rely on many CM commits including the bugged ones....:(....

That a simple app but needs high-end hardware. I face same problem, but I think that's minimum lag, so I don't care about that :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanyi:
I can also confirm. Based in the stats, Google Services is the culprit.

I'm using the 12/21 release of this rom for 3 months and this is the first major issue.

Do you have any idea what exact service causes this? Because we may disable it. Or the new build is the cure?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanyi:
Froze Google gms services and now I have deep sleep again. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
If you want the Google play services in PrivacyGuard(add it) you will get back Deep sleep! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
The wakelocks have been cured with the latest release. Read up the posts since early april. I have great battery. Getting almost 2 days per charge, plus it's smoother and faster than 21/12 build :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Wondering why people are saying battery usage is bad

Using latest ROM (clean flashed) and Slim-Addons-normal_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107 (i have my system partition enlarged to 1Gb) G-Apps

No sign of anything but great battery usage

BBS says:

Since boot - 17h

Deep Sleep - 15h 5m (or 89.9%) - Nope, no wakelocks here

Awake - 1h 55m

Screen On - 1h 47m

Hi,

I just install this ROM and I am not able to find the Quick Settings menu and some other configuration options.

I did a clean install with Slim Kernel and Mini Gapps.

After using this ROM for two days, I need to say that it is really responsive and good but the battery does not last so much in my case.

It is really good when sleeping, so I can have the phone without using and the battery barely decrease, but when I use it, it goes out really fast.

My last test is with wifi on, airplane mode on too to make sure the cell is not the problem.

I have attached the data so far, you can see on the image, when the phone is on use, the line of battery is almost vertical, and I get a lot of hours from the phone but not really useful hours.

Anyone having the same issues?

More data:

Screen Time ON: 1h 18m 49s

Display brightness at minimun

It was a clean install.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Of curse, you got the google play services drain problem. Add this app in privacyguard and you're done for good.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:
Oh, I remember to read something about that... :P

Will this change or affect at all the use of the google play for apps?

I will try it anyway and see how it goes.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
No it wont. But if affect, remove it from privacyguard and with disable services go find Google Play services and UNCHECK UpdateSystemService
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chusebizen:
But....

As far as I remember, the fix for Google play services is included in last build from [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION], isn't it?. [MENTION=1848217]darkpollo[/MENTION] Do you have latest version installed??

Best regards

[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:
Latest version here.

I have just tried that suggestion but I am still not sure that was the problem, as the % on the battery for google services is only the 7%.

I will need time to make sure the problem are the services.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:
Hi,

I can say now that the battery is still really bad, with the google services off.

I am at 13% with a total of 2h 37min 28s screen ON (coming from the previous numbers on the other post).

Wifi ON but airplane mode ON all the time and brightness at minimum level all the time.

I just used the chrome, 1 youtube video and whatsapp.

The worst battery I had ever have with this samsung, so something is wrong with it.

Do you think changing the kernel could fix this or this is more than that?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
You should take a look at BBS log, maybe there's something in there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:
Sorry, I have no idea of what is a BBS log...

Am I the only one with this problems?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I would consider using trim. You would need to flash a trim enabled kernel like gustavo's, or lanchons with cm11, but you might find the lag goes away depending on what is the cause. Just an idea anyway. Check out [MENTION=4141005]Lanchon[/MENTION] 's thread for more info HERE

I don't think changing kernel will make that much difference. Better battery stats will tell you more. You could try going back to stock and re-flashing slimsaber after a full wipe. There is nothing major wrong with the rom though otherwise others would be reporting the same problems as you. I've included screenshots of mine
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:
I really think we do not have the same feeling on how much a battery should last.

Your screenshot show the same problem as mines: 2h25minutes of screen that leads into a 37% of battery left is not that much.

And you can see that anytime your device is awake is a vertical line on the battery graph.

I really expect more from mine.

So maybe is not a ROM problem but a problem of expectations. :P :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
You might be right for expectations but as you can see from the other screenshot, I've got a day and a half with 37% left on battery. It's comparable with any other rom I've ever used and better than a lot of them. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
[MENTION=6418283]noppy22[/MENTION], can you take a look at alarms in BBS and tell me how much wakelocks per hour play services has ?

It's the top wakelock on my side, just checked now, 33.3 wakelocks per hour. Don't know if that's too much though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:
But one day and a half with only 2.5 hours of real use.

I can get a really good time with the phone on standby, as you can see on my screenshot, but that is not what I want. I need to be able to use it and get at least 8-10 hours of screen time on wifi. I do not care about the sleeping time at all. I have the 2000mha battery by the way, which should help too.

I imagine everyone has its own preferences. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I've just connected to charger I'll let you know

Yeah, good luck with 8 - 10 hrs screen on!! I've never got more than 4-5 or so on the s2, I don't think even stock I could have got that, and I would be tempted to say you might need a newer phone, but the bigger battery would help. Maybe try with a custom kernel with undervolt. I know before the play services wakelocks started to happen, I used dorimanx kernel with battery profile with the 21/12 build, and it was noticeably better with battery compared to slim kernel, both for on-screen and idle. The only thing stopping me from using that kernel now is that it hasn't been developed for a long time and some of the fixes for the wakelocks are in the stock kernel with slimsaber
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
[MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] [MENTION=5103629]thunder45[/MENTION]

What do you think, will there still come some KK builds from time to time or is KK EOL now and whe should concentrate on 5.1 if it is that stable for our device? :)

I personally like KK very much and for me there is no hurry to upgrade to 5.1 because some things are not working correctly yet ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Sounds extremely good. But i think is gonna be hard for one reason.. there is too many bugs and problems.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
8-10 hours of screen time, you are kidding....

The best i have ever gotten with all my tweaks is around 5-6 tops. Wifi/GPS etc off.

You do know how the phone works right, and why your screen off time is good and your screen on time isnt....the screen being on. The screen is the largest user of power in any phone.

We cannot break the laws of battery drop for screen on usage

We'd like to :)

Im extremely happy with 0.4% / h - screen off

and 4,5,6 hours - screen on

Thats the extreme best possible range on both screen off and on youre ever going to get

I replaced my december build with a clean install of the latest build, hoping that my Google Play Services wakelock issue would go away. And it did - for a week. Today it returned out of nowhere and drained my battery like crazy. What am I to do?

I tried the Wakelock Terminator on the previous build, but somehow wakelocks were still present.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Strokesws:
Maybe it's related to this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:

Are you talking about this ROM or with any other ROMs?

2000mha battery or 1650?

I could live with 6h but I am getting 3 right now. That´s a huge difference.

Thank you for the information! :good:

What is the camera do you use in your ROM and how did you made it to be full screen with the resolution (DPI) changed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
. Open Root Explorer.

2. Go to /system

3. Click on Mount RW (It should appear as Mount RO, that’s when it is correct!)

4. Look for build.prop. Long press on the file and press Open file in Editor

5. Scroll down to ro.sf.lcd_density=240

6. Change the value to anywhere between 180 and 240. The lower the value, the higher density your screen will have.

7. Click on the Menu button, and Save and Exit.

8. Reboot.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] V&G:
Thanks, but it wasn't a question :)....

I've used this fantastic ROM on my Galaxy S2 but I moved to S5.

I loved the DPI change in SS, so I changed it on my S5 as well. But the problem is that the camera doesn't change its resolution and takes a part of the screen only.

Thus, the question is what is a camera used in SS that supports DPI change?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
I dont know if using I never try the camera on SS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Just looked now and with 68% battery left, com.android.phone is top wakeups (9.9/hr), followed by play services (5.5/hr)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
That's weird, I don't face such wakelock issues. (2.4%/hr in total)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
No my friend, no wakelocks. This is after 21 hrs up time, 93% deep sleep; this is bbs stats under alarms - wakeups. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lucenzo7:
My solution for the wakelocks issue, after having very little success with Wakelock Terminator:

I installed donation version of Greenify and Xposed framework. Then I've gone to "experimental features" and enabled Greenifying System Apps and Wake-up Tracker & Cutoff, which allows me to track which app woke my greenified app.

I then proceeded and greenifyed the Google Play Services, hibernated all the apps and locked the screen. Came back 5 minutes later to find out that an app called "Google Backup Transport" is waking up the Google Play Services. I hibernated that app as well, and now my issues are completely gone.

Maybe this sacrifices features like backups or something, but I don't really care.

TL;DR: download Greenify (donation package) and Xposed. In Greenify's "experimental features" enable greenifying system apps and go greenify the 2 apps called "Google Play Services" and "Google Backup Transport". You're done, no more wakelocks.

it is nearly impossible to have 8-10 hours SOT with 2000 mah on i9100. you should be happy if you can get 4 hours SOT.

with oneplus one (bacon), you could get 8-10 hours SOT.

you can try 5.0.2 one from warrior. he is compiling slimsaber with the same source that i use for bacon.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
the latest build has google play service wakelock fix. the issue was that your device doesn't go to deep sleep because play service 7.0.x causes the device awakes all the time.

nevertheless, there was still wakelock caused by calendar provider (syncing calendar) that reduces battery life. it's not really draining. this looks better with play service 7.3.x
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
Well, this is what I've got

Weird.

I'll try to investigate more deeply what exactly is causing this high wakelocks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amnya:
Is there a solution for this?

Gents, I have attached two screenshots of my problem. I simply searched for BMW images on Google and when i swipe through the images, i get the following, and sometimes I need to swipe back and forth twice for the image to show up. A similar problem applies on almost all GIFs too.

The problem extends to more than browser, when i open this GPS application i use, it crashes as soon as the map tries to show up, instead of showing the map, i get a screen which clearly looks like an incorrectly rendered screen then it crashes soon after. Give it a try if you are running this ROM to confirm my findings. Could there be a problem with the OpenGL drivers on this ROM or something of that sort?

Application is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=com.mireo.ada
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Τry other GPS. Now for your browser problems did you try other browser thats i mentioned on you? Try Javelin, Chrome etc
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amnya:
Yes for browser, using chrome does solve the issue in full. As for the GPS, i cannot use another one, this GPS app is connected to the city's connected system informing us of their daily changes on the roads, no other application provides such integration. This app used to work on all other non kit-kat roms, but failed on all SlimKat variants. Its related to the graphics adapter or driver, don't any of you get such issues? Or all of you already switched to other phones a long time ago? :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] darkpollo:

I tried to clear cache of all Google apps manually, and also cleared cache & dalvik from recovery, the problem persisted.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] amnya:
This happens when you flash a rom over another rom without clearing data. When installing the ROM, you have to clear data, thats the only way it worked with me, happened this week twice, in both time i flashed slim roms, both official and unofficial ones, and the only solution was to clear data and start new.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saber:
For me, the issue happens in chrome too, but it's less noticeable (happens less frequently).

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

Or you can block play services from waking up your device or keeping wakelock for the time being.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lucenzo7:
This is actually a clean installation, I cleared everything before flashing the latest build like 3 days ago.

If you tap and hold the app in privacy guard, it brings up a menu to disable access to wakeups and etc.

You should try servicely (from play store). It is a good way to restrict play services. You can disable it entirely, or just let it run for a given interval (2-3 min).

I also can't get privacyguard working for this purpose.
