[MENTION=1663702]HardCorePawn[/MENTION] or anyone interested in helping:

I am currently using SlimBean, but I am one of the unlucky ones that absolutely *can't* use the new Mali drivers inside the kernel. Apparently I can only use Mali V1, any other version completely freezes my device when playing some games.

I already downloaded the kernel source and built it, but I am not sure HOW to correctly build it, because the resulting zImage of the build just leads to a bootloop.

Any help?

Cheers!

Hi mates,all working fine here exept Google search,message apiers “Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped.” ...any fix for this isue mates??

thanks in advance

Why does the "vibration strength" option in settings -> advanced options -> device -> haptic is disabled?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Must be an issue with:

1. The USB port on the computer

2. The USB port on your phone

3. Drivers on your computer

4. USB Cable

Otherwise, every man and his brother would be in here complaining that they couldn't connect to their computers... for the record, it is working just fine here...

When you say the "computer doesn't even recognise the phone" does anything happen when you connect it? (I assume windows)... do you get the USB connect/disconnect noises?

Touchscreen problems while charging is a known hardware issue... Doesn't affect everyone or all touchscreens (as there are several hardware revisions of i9100)... I believe Dori kernel attempts to fix this... personally, I've never noticed.

Please... NO screenshots or discussion of battery life... it doesn't help anybody as all users/apps/signal strengths/usage pattern combinations are unique...

I've updated the OP to reflect this... see here for the reasons why... Also, I would appreciate it if you would edit your post/remove the images... thanks :good:

No logcat = no help.

Related to CMs removal of device "Advanced Options"... I must have missed the vibrator stuff... there is a likelihood that it is also kernel related... will investigate
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] damnation333:
Funny. I don't have that option in advanced. Slim 4.3 beta 3 and 4 comes with CWM 6.0.3.4. I don't have fix permissions :(

Calendar sync

Calendar sync doesn't work for me:

[edit: sorry, screenshot removed, my server didn't like the load. Problem is solved anyway by re-flashing beta 4]

The 'refresh' symbol always stays next to the checkbox.

What I've tried:

- turning sync off and on;

- removing and readding Google profile;

- reflash gapps

Am I the only one having this problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aceman2013:
Calendar sync works fine on my device.

Do you have enable privacy guard for calendar APP?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Upquark:
No, I don't have it enabled for any app at all.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SimboXXX:
Does anyone use OfficeSuite? Continually crashing here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] foccacia:
Yes, realised mine too
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] damnation333:
Finally build 4 installed now... redownloaded everything and checked SHA1 checksums to be sure.

Email app is not working unfortunately. (see attached bugreport, thanks HCP!!)

Calendar is working in my case though.

Had the same issue on build 3. redownloaded and reflashed everything (make sure to format system!).

edit: just saw that in the camera the scenes seem to be mislabelled. snow, none etc. can anybody confirm?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
That is caused by your inability to log bugs correctly...

Seriously, is it that hard to create a logcat? :rolleyes:

Honestly... From now on, I an just going to ignore any "App X is crashing" posts without a logcat... I'm not even going to bother reporting the post...

I'm sick of repeating myself over and over and over and over...

Finally... An FC report with attached logs... damnation333, you win 10 internetz! :thumbup:

Something really bizarre in your log... It is failing on DexOpt (aka "android is optimising") because /cache/dalvik-cache is full!!?! :confused:

Then later it cannot create the dalvik cache stuff and Email crashes...

Have you:

1. Changed the kernel?

2. Messed about with partitions/vold/fstab etc?

3. Tried clearing cache and dalvik-cache?

4. What Gapps did you install?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Upquark:
Never mind the calendar sync not working, after a reflash of beta 4 the problem has disappeared mysteriously... perhaps I let Titanium Backup restore something I shouldn't have.

Thanks anyway. :cyclops:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SimboXXX:
Yes. I was just checking if it was only my set up or not.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] damnation333:
Hey,

thanks for looking into this.

Kernel stock since months.

wouldn't dare touching partitions

Cleared the caches just before flashing the zips and even cleared them again afterwards.

installed slim-minimal-gapps 4.3 build 4 and then the AIO build 4.x gapps on top.

edit: just reflashed everything for the 3rd and now the bug is gone?! Email app is working now. I can't see any pattern in this. I am doing the same every time...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] foccacia:
the battery life is pretty amazing, in fact the best i ever experienced

i have attached the logcat for the error on opening OfficeSuite. hope i done it correctly
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Seriously? I posted this 1 page back!?!? smh...

kudos for the logcat... but please remove the battery related pics...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] foccacia:
My bad, I m not following this thread very closely
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Don't forget that MALI has 2 parts... Kernel and blobs... You need to make sure both are correct for it to work...

Not sure what repos you need to build the kernel... As I have all of them on build box... And just do a "make bootimage" if I am testing kernel and/or recovery stuff... And (assuming everything is OK, I get a boot.img and just flash that via kernel flasher)...

You'd need to try and get some logcat of the boot (or check tombstones or something) to figure out exactly why it isn't booting...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] seblefb:
sorry, where i can find this file ? im trying but i cant found
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
You can see the file on / (root directory), but editing that has no effect as it gets overwritten on boot as files are in ramdisk...

And as mentioned previously... No idea if this will even work... Make sure you have backups and ODIN ready if flashing the modified kernel results in bootloops and recovery doesn't work :p

Can I use dorimanx kernel with this rom? If so, wich one version is right for use with this rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tiongkia:
version 9.43. I am using the beta version now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shockwaverider:
Does anyone else use Voodoo Louder with this rom? It works fine except that I have to repeat the setup for it every time I use it. Not a real problem but definitely a bit annoying. I'm using the stock kernel, but had the same thing with Apolo. Not had this happen on any other roms that I remember. It's listed as allowed in settings/superuser.

SlimOTA

Hi guys,

Is SlimOTA (4.3.2 build 2.2 > 4.4.2 build 3) work and don't reset my setup?

Where can i download new AROMA package?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 70x7:
Here is :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
SlimOTA doesn't update anything... it just downloads the files... you still need to flash via recovery... suggest you head over to http://www.slimroms.net and read the installation instructions... you'll also find the updated Gapps packages there

NOTE: I wouldn't recommend dirty flashing from 4.3 to 4.4... a LOT of stuff has changed, and chances are you'll get a few FC's from incompatible system/app settings and data...

In any case, I'd recommend making full nandroid backup... and backup all your important stuff on internal/external SDcard as well...

Finally, you might want to check out the 4.4 thread...

I've just installed this ROM after being disappointed in a rather unstable CM10.2

Very nice, but I can barely read the tiny type.

How should I adjust DPI on this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 70x7:
Just install and set 220 dpi

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ASW1:
Thanks!

Edit: looks fine now.

However after booting the screen where I have to unlock the sim looks distorted.

Is there anything I can do about that?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aaron_my:
From system settings>interface>LCD density change to default 240 DPI.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ASW1:
?? there is no "LCD density" in settings/interface ??

Just "battery icon", "notification&QS drawer" and "status bar"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aaron_my:
Are you sure that you are using slimbean? Anyway the default DPI for s2 is 240. You can change it with the apps from play store.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ASW1:
Oops..I think it might be slimkat actually..

It's not quite clear to me; if you follow the latest build download link in the opening post, you go to slimroms.net.

There in the download section if you go to "stable" you end up with "Slim-i9100-4.4.2.build.3-OFFICIAL-3081"

I guess that maybe is slimkat and not slimbean?

If so where is the stable slimbean, or are they the same?

Not clear to me.

Anyway, changing the DPI to 220 or 240 makes the numbers of the sim-unlock-screen too large.

I'm wondering if there is a solution for that.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aaron_my:
Well I am not using kitkat on my s2 yet so I can't really help you with that. It's perfect with on slimbean.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ASW1:
I don't understand.

When I follow the download link in the opening post of this thread, I go to slimroms.net

If I go to download/stable there, I end up with "Slim-i9100-4.4.2.build.3-OFFICIAL-3081"

What is that build, slimbean or slimcat?

If it's not slimbean, where can I find slimbean?

edit: ah, I found it, it's under "old release(not supported)".

It's possible to use another kernel?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dr.69:
Yes it is possible. Just install the rom, then gapps and then any kernel that supports JB.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mixvega:
Like dorimanx ?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dr.69:
Yes, I would recommend you to use dorimanx's latest stable release. I think it is the 9.43 version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mixvega:
OK, can i flash simply in recovery ? Or i need to do a full wipe before, or any script to clean..:confused:

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dr.69:
Look, first of all you flash the kernel on top of the rom, so the steps are:

1. Flash Rom

2. Flash gapps

3. Flash the kernel

You do not need to wipe. I've never used any script and everything was good.

Just a basic tip: always read the first page of the topic (for example the dorimanx's kernel topic). You can always find there the instructions and a lot of useful information you have to read before asking anything. Also please note that if you have any questions about the dorimanx kernel, ask them in the discussion thread and not in development thread.

Good luck. :)

Thanks in advance.

Hi, i9100 guys ;)

I will flash this wonderful ROM on my friend's i9100

Which bootloader should be installed on the i9100 for SlimBean?

Is there any reason not to upgrade directly from rooted 2.3.3?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] m1trand1r:
Hm....afaik you should flash at least Stock ICS firmware to get ICS bootloader In ODIN package....or if you flash JB bootloader by yourself via CWM flashable zip.....but that's dangerous and I prefer ODIN in this case....I still have ICS bootloader and i'm on 4.4.2 OS w/o issues....I don't really know the reasons why to not upgrade directly but I'm assuming that your device may not boot with GB bootloader....so....

Beam-ed through your pineal gland via//Android 4.4.2.:p//
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tetakpatak:
Thanks, mate.

Don't worry, I will flash whole stock ROM with Odin

I have asked this because some devices like the i9000 need the latest stock bootloader for all AOSP custom roms. However, GB 2.3.6 was the latest stock for the i9000 so the choice is easy, while the i9100 has official GB, ICS and JB roms with respective bootloaders.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Yeah... best to flash the latest stock first... then start flashing custom ROMs

Changing lockscreen icon

Wondering how to change the lockscreen icon back to a stock look, like this. Instead of the current one.(found it) Thanks!

Also is there a way to get rid of the google search widget at the top of every page without switching launchers? I'm currently on the system default.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Honestly don't remember about 2.2... It's very old and unsupported now...

As for Google search, can you not just long press on the Google search widget and drag it to "remove"?

I think default launcher is Nova isn't it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dexxda:
anybody have a camera photos samples on this rom? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tetakpatak:

Yes, it is Nova launcher.

Ril crashed

Hi, anybody have on this rom ril crash? on kitkat "Slimkat", "SlimSaber" not have this problem, on 4.3 roms games works better, 4.4 is good for no high graphics games

ok maybe repair GetRIL app from PlayStore
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Twiq:
You don't want to mess with ril on AOSP, since we're using openril, flashing any other ril/tampering with getril will simply just breaks stuff..

Flash this http://d-h.st/LqZ from recovery to revert all ril changes to openril
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bogaggas:
Why the recovery install?

Does this Rom flash its own recovery?

I used Phil's recovery to flash latest SlimKat on official stock JB, and it was a clean install, but every time my recovery is changed to TWRP!!

Also the LCD density option is not to be found anywhere. Although changing dpi isn't hard to accomplish
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] m1trand1r:
Yes...Slim has it's own kernel with it's own recovery (cwm)....but i'm not sure if it's CWM or TWRP.....as i'm using custom kernel;)

Beam-ed through your pineal gland via//Android 4.4.3.:p//
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bogaggas:
Thank you for replying promptly. Do you know of the benefits of the ROM-Kernel+Recovery combo?

I can't find info on the Kernel used. Also the recovery is definitely TWRP which to me is limited compared to, say, Phil's. I guess I should sacrifice the "Slim-baked" kernel in order to use my choice of recovery then.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] m1trand1r:
Hm....benefits of kernel+cwm features can be higher on some and as you noticed limited on some.kernels ....so....you need to choose what suits you best....that said....you can pick few kernels which have recovery bundled (different ones)....and see what suits you....

I myself am using combo from my signature as you can see.....and I am very happy with this combo....I have more than I need if you know what I mean....

Oh....about ROM part.....that's a whole another story....click my sig....and you'll be blown away,......:)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bogaggas:
I get it. Alas, speaking from your experience with different combos, when did you enjoy better battery life? Battery life is the main concern for me and that is why I was always attracted to the idea of Slim. However, I've just brought back my S2 from a long lived comma to serve for Navigation, Audio-listening, occasional browsing while I exercise. So it's been a long time since it had the latest Slim and I can't remember how battery life was .

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shockwaverider:
So I guess at this point I'm the last person on earth that hasn't made the jump to KK, but I'll throw this out there anyway on the off chance that someone notices and has experienced a similar problem. This is regarding SlimBean 2,2, and it's possibly not even ROM-related, but I've been having a hard time getting defaults to stick when it comes to web links. It's not browser specific, as I've tried seemingly dozens, and it also affects apps like Wikipedia (both stable and beta) and YouTube. Basically, anything that pulls data from the web always triggers the "always/just once" dialog when clicking a link from inside another app (SoundHound, Facebook, etc.). Not a huge deal, but frustrating now and again. Anyway, if somebody can help a lonely SlimBean holdout, it'd be much appreciated, lol.

Hi everybody
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hopper8:
Sorry that no one has managed to help you... I'm sorry but I don't know the solution for your question, I don't remember ever experiencing that issue.

What you could do, is to look in the Android development forum for Slimsaber Reborn by fusionjack. It's still android 4.3.1, but its quite popular. Its slimbean built with custom toolchains and other tweaks. Try it and see if your problem is solved :) if not, then ask in that thread as someone should be able to help you, the thread is new but is popular :)
