I thought you're using textra, some people had such issues with it, although it works fine for me.

Have you tried any other app?

No, but I will do a fullwipe and see if it works then, otherwise it must be a problem of my carrier I guess ;)

Is the Slim team still working on this ROM? Or is the entire team working on LP only?

The previously-reported problem of opening the camera from whatsapp is still not solved in the 4/6 build. Is there some workaround / fix for this after flashing the ROM?

Also, I've experienced two spontaneous reboots of the phone within ~24 hours since I flashed the ROM. (I returned to KK after trying out nearly all available LP ROMs for our device there and being disappointed with all of them...)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Cant say anything about whether there will be any further development of the ROM, fusionjack was around the other week and gave us a new build, and it was a while before that that we had an update, so i wouldnt say never, but with a lot of focus on LP ROM's for our device, one would think that thats where the path lays to keep the device relevant. Personally id be happy to see more builds as this was the first ROM to make me give up the stock Samsung ROM :)

The spontaneous reboots, everyones had them from time to time, i would sometimes get them when doing simple things like hitting back in the Security menu in Settings or weird things like that, they tended happen early after a flash and to disappear with further use.

Cant help you with WhatsApp as i never use social apps sorry

As for LP ROMS' ive tried a few and i would say, in my opinion that SlimLP Beta 8, which i have been using for several days is the stablest of the current builds of LP for our device, hands down. Im not going to run down the others (so i dont set the trolls and fanboys of those ROM's off) except to say they were unstable and frustrating exercises in reading through countless pages, to then get a new build of them and start the 30 pages of reading over again...

SlimLP is as good a build as ive experienced for any new ROM. If you do use a xposed, you may want to stick with KK for a little while longer as thats the only issue ive had...installing xposed on 5.1 results in bootloops for me and a lot of others. Even if you are one of the few lucky ones to get it working things like Greenify currently wont run under the current xposed for 5.X implementation. Im looking at other ways to curtail background and battery ruining apps, but if i cant come up with a solution under 5.1, ill head back to this ROM for a little while longer. But other than those few points SlimLP boots faster and is buttery smooth with the kernel it comes in the ROM and ive had 0 issues so far, data throughput seems quite a bit faster/smoother too. Really great job for an early ROM build. Theyre doing great work on that one. Put it this way i decided to put in on my S2 at 2am, on a morning i needed my phone to wake me up several hours later and navigate me through my day using GPS/Wifi and mobile data, and it didnt let me down....lol i half expected that it would freeze during the wee hours following install and the alarm wouldnt go off :) Stable as so far. If you consider SlimLP and decide to give it a while, be aware, you'll want/need to increase your system partition to fit the ROM and Slim GApps (normal package is what i use) on it, a topic on it here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162

Be forewarned that the first boot will take forever, but after that a normal boot is, for me, half the time of SlimSaber :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Thanks for the long answer. SlimLP beta 8 was one of those LP ROMs that I tried...

Basically there are two main things that don't work fine for me in all LP ROMs:

1. Starting most apps takes longer than in KK ROMs built with the SaberMod toolchain.

2. None of the LP ROMs support playing music through my car's bluetooth audio system (while, on the other hand, KK ROMs don't have any problem with that).

These are not the only things, but they are both bad enough for me to want to stick with KK. Some other things are the slowness of app optimization phase (after clearing Dalvik cache), and the same goes for installation of new apps from the Store (because during installation it also has to optimize). Also the fact that Bluetooth has the same status bar icon no matter if it's connected or just on but not connected to anything.

And finally lack of some features like the SlimPie and the notification panel shortcuts...

I hope I'll be able to provide more builds of this ROM (SlimSaber 4.4.4) on my own.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
No worries at all.

SlimLP is only in early stages really. i like using using USB OTG and SlimLP doesnt support that with its current kernel in the ROM, but i work around it and realise i can look into other kernels when i have time or request it be added to the SlimLP

Theres always going to be things, even in finished ROM's that some people will find missing, but i assume with bluetooth and its common use, it will be addressed going forward.

Cant say ive noticed apps taking longer to launch personally, dont discount your experience though either...we've all sen ROM's behave differently on different devices even of the same make/model.

All those things you mention will eventually get sorted, just need a little time for the ROM's to mature a bit. Look at SlimSaber, it was almost to the point of its now really intermittent updates before we got the music bug and other fixes that had plagued the S2 for years :) Hopefully the improvements/fixes for LP will happen a bit quicker

Lol, totally agree the rebuild after dalvik clear is definitely slower on LP...go and have a coffee and come back for that exercise , but in general use the ROM is pretty dam impressive as is for how long its been worked on.

If i get too frustrated at my usual life of extreme extreme battery saving being unbalanced by the lack of ability to run greenify and other xposed apps on LP, ill be hopping back over the fence to KK myself. Ill see how long i can last before that happens though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
How is the stability of SlimLP compared to SlimSaber (KK)? You said that we all have random reboots every now and then in SlimSaber. Do you also have them in SlimLP?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
I'm on day three of LP and not a thing to report i the minus column, certainly no random reboots have been seen by me.

Random reboots were par for the course for a number of people with SlimSaber (KK), for me as i said earlier, they appeared usually in the period after a ROM flash, but tended to dissapear with use.

But as for LP, nothing to see here. Its stable

Hi [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] !

After several months I decided to compile a new SlimSaber build from source but while syncing the repo I am getting this error:

Fetching projects: 99% (417/421) fatal: repository 'https://bitbucket.org/fusionjack/uber_arm-androideabi-4.8/' not found

error: Cannot fetch fusionjack/uber_arm-androideabi-4.8

What is wrong ? Thanks for your time and rom :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Thanks... I think I will try to do the same, maybe we can join efforts in this. I tried all available LP ROMs for the i9100, and it seems to me that ART is just too much for this old model. At some point it starts either hanging or lagging. So I'll stick with KK, and SlimSaber is my choice...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaOldMan:
I decided to re-download the whole source. Will see if the problem continues....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
This one doesn't exist. I think you can just comment it out in .repo/manifest.xml (line 466). There's only a sabermod one (not uber) for 4.8. Alternatively, you can use sabermod for both 4.8 and 4.9, but the uber repo exists only for 4.9.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaOldMan:
The 4.9 is the "reborn" aka 4.3 build ? I will comment it out. that's no problem but I wasn't sure those sources are needed to get a full build.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I don't know either... I guess we'll have to try and see :)

I have had issues with whatsapp camera, but only when I used to restore whatsapp via Titanium Backup. Once I started to fresh install it from playstore, the problem is gone.

Did you check out the catlogs?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I did, it wasn't anything meaningful. I'll have to check the kernel log because it seems like a driver problem.

I don't use any application for backup/restore. It's a clean flash of the Rom, and a fresh installation of whatsapp from the store.

Can anybody help? :confused:

How can I change from XXMS4 to XXLS8 while one this current ROM? I have read that it's only possible through Stock (or based on it) ROMs and changing RIL while on SlimKK is quite risky... If I remembered it right... I need to change since I'm quite having issues with mah signal and want to try changing it...

:D :) ;) :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
quick answer as im about to go out

You can flash the modem (without the RIL) with no dramas, my phone came with an earlier modem, and i updated it to XXMS4 after i installed KK. And in fact i then had to revert to an earlier modem to enable fast dormancy, and then flash back to XXMS4 afterwards. Just do not flash a modem with the RIL included.

Did this a while back here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50422555&postcount=3911

If you can find the modem without RIL, then its okay to flash

If you cant find the modem without RIL, then visit this link

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-samsung-modem-ril-cwm-installers-t1881304

It has the Modem & RIL for XXLS8 linked and hosted here: http://d-h.st/qqH

Then read the section I only want to install the Modem without RIL

I'd roll you one and upload it, but id normally advise people to download and edit themselves

Does anybody know a way to change the recents tab of this rom from the Slim recents to an AOSP/CM recents tab?

I don't really like the style and the looks of SlimRecents, and I can't handle it that good.

An other: is there a way to add RAM bar to recents?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I don't think slim has such option. However, you can possibly find apps for recents in the play store, and you may map the home button to use it in settings - navigation - hardware buttons.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaOldMan:
Okay problem solved. The repository of uber chaintool in FusionJacks git is gone (can't understand why, probably a mistake ?). That's why I couldn't pull the updated source from repo :(. I found uber chaintool compiled on github and then edited the manifest.xml (which is linked to default.xml) to point to it:

<!-- Uber toolchain -->

<project name="UBERTC/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8" path="prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8" remote="bitbucket" revision="master" />

<project name="fusionjack/uber_arm-eabi-4.9" path="prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8" remote="bitbucket" revision="master"/>

Now I could download the whole sources again and compile a new build of my beloved rom :). If someone wants it here is the link from my dropbox.

Enjoy !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I did the same but got some errors during the build, all related to the propriety files.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaOldMan:
Well I don't. All you have to do is this:

1) Initialise repo

2) Sync repo (after manifest change)

3) Run ". build/envsetup.sh"

4) Run "lunch"

5) Choose #32 for i9100

6) It will download those proprietary files for you

7) Make bacon

Works like a charm :)

i have now 4.3, looks fine to me. probably the viber server is down at that time. if problem persist try to delete the data. otherwise i have no clue.

mostly, it took time for the first time gps fix (after a full-wipe). next fix is really fast. i got 12/12 satellites some days before.

probably it is the same problem with the instagram (or vine? cannot remember) video preview. try to search in dorimanx thread, he posted some explanations.

i cannot test it because netflix is not supported in my country.

HardCorePawn posted how-to for extracting kernel in this thread. please search it.

first fix could take time. if you still have problem getting a gps fix, try without agps. disable the 'wifi & mobile network location' in settings -> location access.

it sounds like the framework is messed up, hence bootloop. please ask assistance in xposed thread.

you could try to make a logcat with adb during bootloop from your pc. there is a tuto how to do that. i don't have it right now.

Did you make sure that first the root is working? You need to enable root in 4.3.

I disabled ccache because it have me errors, possibly the installation of ccache in my ubuntu is broken, and in any case, from my experience *on my machine*, it does not improve build performance.

Btw, running proprietary_files downloads some libs from my device. But I never understood why this was ever needed (CM build instructions include it), as only the Rom builder does this and then everyone uses it, so it can just be added to the repo...

The build cannot download it from my device because I don't connect my device during the build, so it can only work if these files are already in the repo.

Finally, when I use proprietary_files manually, I noticed that all the tvout libs are missing. Maybe we can include them from older version (4.1.2) and then the mhl connection to tv will start working on kk?

Both... The issue I want to fix is starting camera from whatsapp. About features, I don't know, but maybe I'll want to add something, now that I gave up on lollipop.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Dunno if id want to download about 1Gb of source etc and then try rebuilding a ROM just for one issue with one app

But best of luck!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
You're right, but since I gave up on L, this is going to be the ROM that I will use as long as my i9100 lives (I have it for 2.5 years now). So if there are some issues, I'd like to be able to fix them. Not sure I will actually do it, but I'd like to have this option open.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Fair enough, about wanting to have the choice to continue with KK, but i wouldnt give up on LP...its still way early days.

I have been surprised with SlimLP, for me it has stellar battery life out of the box, and 0 issues in the 3 or 4 days ive been running it, and i was almost about to go back to KK as i couldnt run Xposed stuff...at the last moment both and Xposed update and a Greenify update came out and i put the KK backup away and have been happy so far with it.

To me the Slim in SlimLP bodes well. apart from the stock 4.1.2 Samsung ROM, SlimSaber KK is the ONLY ROM ive ever run as i tried a millionty of them, and none were as stable. Hopefully the same with the SlimLP. Signs are good so far.

Maybe you can revist LP in the near future, but good luck with KK building.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Can't say LP is still way early days - after all, it went open source half a year ago.

I will probably revisit it in a few months. However, I am pessimistic as it seems that the problem is not LP itself but ART, which seems too heavy for our phone in many cases. At some point, things start lagging (can be after a few days, or after a few hours, or never - depending on your usage). And one other thing that has never worked for me is using bluetooth to play music or podcasts in my car's audio system (though using it for phone calls using my car's audio system works well). While this last issue is probably solvable, I really think ART will never be able to improve enough to avoid the lags. The code in ART is just bigger... so it takes both more disk space and more memory.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaOldMan:
Usually l Iike to update all sources. Also building is fun. Cherry picking some addons later is also possible.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shiftyHungary:
Though I agree with that most LP roms start lagging after a fex days of usage, I don't think it's because ART would be too heavy, as for memory usage. I'm using SlimLP right now - since yesterday afternoon, and yet it's the best LP rom I tried - agreeing with stylemessiah.

As of now, I'm running FB, Messenger, 500 Firepaper as live wp, and still have about 270-300 Mb RAM free, and no lag- yet.

Of course it's not my intetntion to make you use LP if you can't put up with it 'coz f the bugs, but I would say that it's getting more and more advisable for daily usage.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Aside for the material design of the ROM, what does SlimLP provide you that SlimSaber (KK) does not?

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

I don't know how this affects memory usage, but the fact is, ART optimization phase converts all apps from Dalvik bytecode to native. This takes considerably more space than Dalvik bytecode (note how you never have a problem flashing full gapps with stock pit on KK, but have a problem on LP).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaOldMan:
It's Dex Bytecode ;) and because Art uses Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation which compiles the whole app it should use more memory. The whole point of Dalvik runtime was the JIT which allowed using apps on a small memory devices. Since now we have 2-3 gig or Ram Dalvik is obsolete as it's slower to execute (as it compiles on the run).

So the question is if on 1Gb device like the i9100 Art is better then Dalvik. I am not really sure :( And like [MENTION=5630829]sreinst1[/MENTION] said the art pre-compiled executable will need more space, eating the /data partition :(. On 16Gb device that could be also a problem....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
FYI... Dex = Dalvik Executable :) https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/dex-format.html
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DaOldMan:
Well but not Dalvik bytecode.... Good to learn the acronym. Thanks.
