And who said persistence and patience doesn't pay off ;)

Well, I took another crack at 4.2.2 and guess what, here is a screenshot of the bring up of SlimBean 4.2.2 for the SGH-I757M.

The method I used to get it to work should be usable also for 4.3, but haven't tried yet. Currently audio does not work and causes the phone app to force close and the refresh rate is all screwed up. So there are things that need to be fixed. Oddly though, the capacitive lights seem to work perfectly without having applied our special patch for BLN. Cool.
[Galaxy S II General] PirateMan:
Congratulations on the 4.2.2!! Huge development! Unfortunately I can see /emmc so that's out...
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Wow! I'm starting to get really excited!
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
That it's awesome, the slim 4.3 is so awesome and stable. It makes the 4.1.2 look like pooh. And that's sayin somethin.

Austin thanks for all the hard work and this is some awesome news.

How to change the battery status to show battery percentage?

Hi guys, I have installed this ROM and it look wonderful. But the problem I have is I want to change the battery status to show battery percentage in the notification bar. Normally it would be under Settings -> System but I do not find it. Can someone tell me where to find this setting. Thanks in advance guy..you ROCK.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
You'll find what your looking for here:

Settings -> Interface -> Status Bar

Is anyone having trouble getting sync to work? I used to be able to choose what I wanted to sync seperately (calendar, Gmail, etc) now I can only choose sync now and I can't get it to stay on. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'm not experiencing that. I have access to all of my syncing settings and they stick too.

Can you pull me a logcat after you select the syncing options you want. The log should show if there were issues writing the settings.
[Galaxy S II General] Majortom420:
I don't want to come off as inconsiderate, I appreciate your efforts in keeping this model updated, but what to you figure a rough ETA is for 4.2.2?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Granted you asked very politely ......but asking for eta's and updates is frowned upon on xda. So you know. ;)

Well, I don't really know. In moving up to cm10.1, there are changes in the way that the graphics are handled. This introduced 3 new repositories called audio-caf, display-caf and media-caf. When using these repositories, I get boot with no display, but everything else seems to work perfectly.

During this time, there were some other repositories created for older devices which could not use the new drivers. These are audio-legacy, display-legacy and media-legacy. When I build with these repos, I get display, but the video refresh rate is effed up and therefore doesn't seem that you've clicked on something when you have. You could call it choppy video display. When I build on the legacy repos, I get no audio, but everything else works, including vm notifications and the capacitative buttons work as they should.

I'm not a hardware developer, so I'm pretty lost here and have been trying to learn what I needed to know to bring this up for our device. I have narrowed down what I think the issue is, but I need some help to figure out how to fix it. I've been trying to get some help from the devs who brought up the skyrocket, but they have not been helpful.

If anyone can offer some assistance in the realm of hardware programming, please pm me. We're so close to having cm10.1, just need to sort out the display issue and we should be good to go.
[Galaxy S II General] ch_chs:
Strange issue with the incoming call numbers.

I have a strange issue when there is incoming call. The number would display as 10000000000 even though the person who is calling is in my address book. This is a random issue, this dose not happen all the time but very frequently. A solution I found is to restart my phone to get the callers number displayed. Anyone has noticed this issue or is there any setting. Attached is the screen of the call logs of my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
This is strange, and I can't say that I'm having the same problem. I can't find anything about it on google. I'll investigate the source files to see where the phone app is pulling this information from. That may provide some clues. I don't think a logcat would provide anything useful in this scenario.

It's also strange that rebooting the phone fixes the issue...
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
So I've just compared or display drivers with those from the shv-e120l (Korean variant) and it seems to use the same display. There is a repo for that phone and it seems to have its own cm10.1/cm10.2 branches which I'm comparing right now in hopes that it will show me how to fix the display issue. Aside from this, I've contacted Samsung for updated drivers which they cannot provide. Last resort will be to contact melfas Inc. As they are the manufacturer of our touchpanel and should be able to provide us with updated drivers.

Running a build right now with the new drivers and elk test later this evening.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
.........just...awsome:D
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
More excellent news. I just got a response from the dev who is managing cm10.1/cm10.2 on the shv-e120l the Korean variant that shares our display. He says that he has the display working well on 10.2, but not so well on 10.1. I've asked how he's managed this. His method should work exactly the same for us :D
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Titanic I would just like to say thank you so much for all your hard work. I especially appreciate all the posts that you write letting us know what you are doing for yours and all of our phones. Even though alot of us currently are unable to be any help except for testing, it is appreciated to know what is happening on the development front. Thank you again so much!

this build has been flawless for me, except when I play one specific game.

not that it should be fixed or anything, but you might find it interesting to find the cause.

thanks for everything.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
What happens when you play this game???

This thumbs up button isn't good enough, where's the standing applause button.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Thanks so much for your kind words guys. I needed it today ;) my comp shutdown while I was cleaning out my trash and somehow corrupted my bootloader on my computer. Couldn't get it to boot back into Linux (or Windows fir that matter). I think it's from all the partitioning I've done on the drive. Oh well, long story short, backup is in progress and a re-format of the entire drive should clean up the issue. Will reinstall Linux mint (this is my favorite Linux distro) tomorrow, and will be back in business hopefully by end of day.

Anyways, thanks again for your awesome comments and sticking around ;) I've got two years left with this phone, so it should be an exciting ride ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Well, now you've done it, I'm addicted. Who knew connect the dots could be so addicting :P

I haven't hit a bug yet though, what big did you experience. How can I replicate the error?
[Galaxy S II General] manfromgta:
Not sure what problem your having. I tested game and experienced a random reboot during play after several minutes. I also became addicted. Lol

similar reboot problem; i can play one game without problem, rarely 2. never 3.

which is helping keeping the addiction managable.

[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
That sounds like an oom (object out of memory). I'll look into it once I get my Linux back.

This means that the system decided it didn't have enough memory to continue, so it soft reboots (thus no Samsung logo)

It may be some simple tweaking in the build.prop that might fix it. I'll let you know ;)
[Galaxy S II General] fredericvachon:
when i start the apps, i have a few minutes, a game or 2 max. then the phones reboot to bootanimation.

I had the same error on strangepeer's build.

Heres my recorded log playing the dots game on Strange Peers Rom. I don't have one for Slim Bean as I had togo back because of battery life. I only get less than 12 hours on slim bean and about 14 on Stranges rom.

Anyway here is the logcat on Dadoes Rom.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Well, the graphics in 10.1 just aren't what they should be, so I decided to go back to 10.2. We have boot, display, Wi-Fi and radio. I haven't tested GPS yet but believe that it's not working. The gapps are force closing right now uncontrollably which is what I'm working on at the moment.

We're very close I think. The issue with the gapps force closing is due to /cache/dalvik-cache not being writable. I think this particular error is misleading and has another cause other than the cache directory actually not being writable since changing the items manually didn't resolve the issue. I believe this may have been an issue with compilation, so I cleaned my build directory and am starting this one from scratch.

On another note, I did get to run the system a bit and run some benchmarks. The benchmarks are right on par with our other cm versions, but the actual playing of video is so much smoother than before.

Here's a screenshot teaser of the bring up of cm10.2 (Android 4.3 with SEAndroid and privacy manager) for the SGH-I757M ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
10.2 is going fairly well. I've been using it all day and have no reboots. Mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth, bln, VM notification, sms and audio all work. Most of the sensors are not yet working so it doesn't auto rotate the screen and screen doesn't turn on after you pull it away from your face (due to sensors not working), also, GPS isn't working. Benchmark is good though.

I'm going to try using the sensor libs from the skyrocket. And need to figure out how to extend the cache partition.

EDIT:

Almost forgot, YouTube overlays work without issue as well...
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Here's a screenshot of the benchmark ;)
[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
Can't wait for a fully fonctionnal 4.3 rom. Good work Titanic!
[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Didn't think I'd see the day of a 4.3 ROM on our phone. Crazy. Well done !
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Now the sensors are working ;)

Things left to fix are the cache partition (not sure what I'm going to do about this yet) and the weird unlocking.

The problem with unlocking the phone is in 80% of the time when you press power to unlock the screen, it only shows a black screen but touch is active and the capacitative lights are on. The fix right now is to press power to lock the phone again then press power once again to unlock and this brings the display back. I think it's a problem with the device sleeping which now it sleeps a lot more than in previous roms. Better battery life too.

I've had two random reboots since yesterday and both times I was changing governors and io schedulers will also look into that if it continues to be a problem.

Wow titanic your are being fantastic, this is some exciting news. Once you have it a little more stable are you going to look into doing the new slim? Some problems that cm10.2 has have been addressed by slim as far as I know. Keep up the fantastic work
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Hello everybody! Does this ROM allow changing application's DPI like in Paranoid Android?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
No, that feature is not included. You can only change the DPI on a global scale by editing the build.prop.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
So if i need this feature, my only option is to install Paranoid Android??

But it is outdated (desember 2012), that's crazy. +It has a lot of glitches, restarts.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Once I get stock CyanogenMod working, I'll look into other flavours of CyanogenMod like aokp, slimbean and paranoid android ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Like stated above, I'll look into other flavours of CyanogenMod once I get cm10.2 working b-)
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
If anyone wanted to, could they not try to port PA to a more recent ROM?

[GUIDE] Easiest way to port ParanoidAndroid Rom {Both ICS and Jb versions}
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Porting requires that you have a base rom of the same android version. So to port the latest pa, we at least need a compiled build of android 4.3 whether it be aosp, cm or another flavour. Compiled builds are better than ported ones anyways since you have finer control over the output.

Latest news on cm10.2 is that bln is actually not working. Even though when unlocking the screen, the buttons light up. They do not light up on notification. I'm implementing a patch that was submitted for cm10.1 to see if I actually need to do the implementation myself ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Check out something called "xposed framework" it has features that allow many different system ui changes including per app DPI. You just install different modules for what you want to tweak. Your welcome! But might onlynbo for touchwiz on second thought.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Bln is now working ;) I used a patch for cm10.1 to achieve this.

Still have weird screen unlock behavior, but think I will still release it before that is fixed. Even though it's annoying, it doesn't impede usage of the phone as a daily driver.

Before release, I'll fix up the cache issue. Next couple of days and you can all try the new cm10.2 with privacy manager.

Last thing, cm's new camera app focal was pulled from cm and placed on the market. I tried it, but it doesn't work with our device yet. I'll see about contacting the developer to help him make it compatible with our device. In the mean time, we have an OK camera app included that will allow you to chose your storage medium.
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
No way to get the Google/Nexus/Stock (the one that's on the latest DADOES) camera on this ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:

Does anyone here prefer to use an alternative superuser app like supersu?

EDIT:

BTW dots works... The addiction continues :D
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Yes, I prefer supersu please :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] FuryriderX:
I really like the built in superuser (the one by Koush) in the CM Roms. I would greatly prefer it rather than have something pestering me to pay and upgrade it.

And yeah dots is SO addictive haha
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Cheers... I think what I'll do then is leave the stock one in the rom and I'll give instructions on how to change that to supersu if you want it. Essentially, installing the supersu binary can no longer be done the "normal" way, but you must now select the cwm/twrp method which reboots into recovery for install. This installs that famous install-recovery.sh script which is required to get it installed, so when recovery asks you of you want to remove it, you must select no. This will all be in the instructions ;)

Thanks for your feedback!
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Thank you for all your hard work keeping this phone alive. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Titanic, amazing job! I can't wait till it is released again thanks for the hard work.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Thanks a lot, please let us know when changing DPI would become available in your Rom! Thank you for amazing job!!!

P.S. About superuser - i also prefer native one, which doesn't require upgrading.
[Galaxy S II General] :
As mentioned before, xposed will probably change dpi per app. Or change number in build.prop for phone wide change. ;)

My navigation bar has decided it will come on when phone starts up.

I have had one notification menu lock up. One random reboot so far.

I have been running this build since release and I've enabled hardware overlays.
[Galaxy S II General] Dedetrader:
No reboot

Hi Titanic,

I am very new at this.

I installed the rom, and it worked great until I tried to restart the phone.

Before restarting, I was able to do all the settings and customization etc.

It rebooted, but nothing came up, in other words it was on with a black screen.

I had to re-install my original Bell/Samsung installation.

Any idea what I could try?

Thanks, Dede.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
That's called a bootloop. Best thing to do in this case is to wipe dalvik cache in recovery. That's usually the cause of a bootloop. Which recovery are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] ikovach:
Batery %

Hi, thank you for the ROM it is very nice, one question - how to see batery %?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
You would access this from the settings menu I can't remember exactly where right now, but it's an option to display the battery with percentage. You can also do the same for the lockscreen ;)

Just a note to those using this rom. There are newer versions available, obviously with their own bugs but newer none the less. There's slimjb 4.3 and slimkat too ;)

If you've specifically chosen this rom, that's cool too ;)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Cool thanks
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I had a random reboot today.
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
I had no problems today. Tomorrow will be a full trial of the battery without trickster or any other mod
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I removed these three lines from the build.prop

debug.composition.7x27A.type=mdp

debug.composition.7x25A.type=mdp

persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=true

The first two I don't believe we need and they conflict with

debug.composition.type=dyn

Which we do need. The third entry I believe conflicts with

debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3

From what I understand. Anyway, I feel it has smoothed things up some for myself. I try to look at other build.prop from other ROMs of phones similar to ours and go with what they use. So if its an entry that doesn't exist in that build.prop I omit it from mine. I try to keep things simple.
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Had random reboot as I was using Firefox. Then as it booted again, it froze and needed to be soft booted. When it turned on again the data connection wouldn't turn back on. Tried to go into airplane mode to try to disconnect and reconnect. I used the power menu. Once airplane mode was activated I could not turn it off in power menu. I had to go to network settings to turn it off again. In the end needed to reboot to get data connection back.

Thought to share this glitch. :)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
My second reboot was when I was pulling down my notifications drawer. I was in the middle of customizing my toggles.

I've also experienced this radio issue. This has been an issue on every cm10 based ROM I've installed.

Battery life may be improved by going back to an ondemand governor.

Slim working well so far

Hi Titanic, so far no issues whatsoever with the Slim build. I'm using Nova Pro, and am finding this smooth and clean.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
This is a great Rom thanks TF, the only issue is (and this may be something else) Wi-Fi is super weak I believe I'm in the latest modem but is there something else it could be?
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
I've noticed Wi-Fi on this phone is weak in general, no matter the rom
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Yeah. WiFi hasn't been real great ever....

Great rom so far. The problems that I have had were two freezes at boot and radio problems (a reboot fixed the radio issues).

Rom is very smooth and snappy. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
So this is my batery usage without any twiking or trickster. I got to 41 percent after

13 hours.

In had blue tooth on all day and was using it for about 3 hours. I used mobile data and wifi. I made several calls and texted. So I'm so far happy with the batery.
[Galaxy S II General] FuryriderX:
Anyone getting Google search force closing when exiting voice typing or trying to use the Google search app? It could be just because I'm using a nonstandard LCD density...

[EDIT] - fixed this by wiping data and uninstalling with titanium backup and installing again from play store

In other notes, it seems very stable! And the increased smoothness doesn't seem to have impacted battery a huge amount. A few little things I noticed though:

- SMS notification no longer shows "mark read" action, I'm sure you could get it back by using the MMS.apk from dadoes' ROM tho

- Changing the lock screen number of targets doesn't work. It is stuck in the 8 setting (which raises the lock screen handle significantly) this is just a visual thing but it's kinda annoying

- Camera app is laid out differently but I really like it! And it takes really really good pictures to boot.

Next up, porting slimbean 4.3 :P
