I think I've figured out the missing ringtones and alarms. The media scanner keeps it's own small database and it was disabled with the 92disablediascanner init.d script. To fix this, I did the following:

1. Deleted video files or used a .nomedia fileso that gallery won't crash

2. Deleted 92disablemediascanner From system/etc/init.d

3. Force closed abd Deleted the cache from the Media Scanner app

4. Install 'rescan media root' from the play store, use it to reenable media scanner

5. Reboot and wait for the scanner to find the ringtones, etc.

I've done this twice with a fresh install and with the rom after using it for a couple days,
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Thanks for that, I didn't even think of it for the ringtones, but it makes a whole world of sense ;) I think I'll disclude the 92disablemediascanner script in the next release and add it as a separate download if you choose as it seems to be causing more problems than it is solving ;)
[Galaxy S II General] manfromgta:
Cheers my friend. This worked to restore my ringtones and notifications as well. Thanks!

[Galaxy S II General] bitwarrior1:
This should also work to fix the issue of not seeing the file structure on your PC/Mac. MTP seems to use the media scanner data to display a file

list to the PC.

I only saw one mention of it early in the thread about bluetooth being finnicky with A2DP. When I try playing music over bluetooth after the phone's been booted for a while (all day, for example). The phone will connect via bluetooth and Catlog shows my address book transferring successfully. The problem starts when I try to play music (with any player, tried stock, poweramp, and Beyondpod). The app freezes, bluetooth crashes and won't re-initialize until reboot. Catlog gives a ton of a2dp errors. I tried inserting the 'audio. a2dp.default.so' from the CM10 alpha build by dsixda but couldn't even get an A2DP connection, though the phone and car show a BT connection.

I'll grab a log asap, but was throwing it out there to see if anyone has this same problem and if there's a solution.
[Galaxy S II General] FuryriderX:
I've had issues transferring pictures over Bluetooth from the girlfriend's phone to mine fr time to time. The transfers will just stall, and fail from her end. Then Bluetooth will freeze and not turn back on until reboot. Never had issues streaming audio though....
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I haven't tried transferring files, but have tried a2dp through poweramp and had to turn on the android lockscreen from within poweramp settings to get a2dp to work. I did this because of a warning message in the poweramp settings about android 4.3 as seen in the screenshot below. As soon ai turned this on, a2dp immediately started working ;) haven't tried this with other players though.

EDIT:

Also notice my chosen setting for Meta change intent.

Apps Freeze & Crash

Hi shadow end user here - ive really appreciated the continued support from everyone on the roms created over the past year and some... its great. I would never have kept this phone without you all – really! That said, its a great phone with great specs that are usable with everyones hard work. :good::laugh: special thanks to T_F for his committed hard work.

With the new rom I have apps freezing then crashing, specifically Rdio & Bria voip software. I use these heavily and its come to the point where its frustrating me. It seems related to strong mobile data use or display rendering.

I have switched to Bell flex setting. That allowed them to be opened.

GPU HW overlays is checked.

FORCE 2D GPU is checked.

Also followed steps on post 30<http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46242192&postcount=30> to see if gpu was cause of hang up

Any ideas?

**UPDATE** Actually following the instructions from post 30 thanks! rukusx7 :good: has worked in preventing these apps from freezing. i just needed to reboot another time ;) ... srsly :silly:

Maybe this will be helpful for others.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Thanks for the info, I was able to get my vibration working after following your instructions and a few reboots and it hasn't stopped since. As for the ringtones I never thought to check if the files were there so I just loaded up the one I needed using my file manager and no more issues.

The only issue I have now is the waking issue that you know about.

Again great work and thanks so much for this rom.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Did you see my post about the beta kernel which fixes the screen unlock? No biggie though as I'm releasing the next version in a couple of days with this included.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46494187
[Galaxy S II General] :
No I didn't I was holding out for the next release. But that's good to know thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] beaujolais:
Qute often when I loose the unlocking pattern I also loose vibrations. The phone won't vibrate on any action where it normally would. The vibration options are also gone from the ring menus. It's like the vibrator driver de-registered from the system and the system thinks it's not there.

Reboot doesn't help. The only thing that helps is to remove battery for a while (but the system must be running when removing battery, when I shut down first and then remove battery it won't help). After removing and putting back the battery the vibrator is back.

This happens with the old and new kernel. (BTW ... the new kernel is much better).

Thank you for all your efforts developing this ROM :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
Omg I just realized we have VM notification! That's great work guys!
[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
Happen to me too last week-end, a reboot did the job.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
For some reason (which I have not yet figured out), the vibrator doesn't get initialized on boot. There are a number of things that need to happen in order for the vibrator to initialize and from what I can tell so far is that the sysfs entries mysteriously do not get created which are the files under /sys. These folders/files are actually the hardware devices and the way that they are controlled is by placing values inside specific files. These folders/files are not being created and therefore the vibrator doesn't load.

Once the system loads, I can't manually create the sysfs entries nor can I manually initialize the vibrator so this leads me to believe that there is another issue which I am obviously unaware of :( I was hoping that it would have been included in my latest sync, but it doesn't seem like anyone else (from other ROMs) are experiencing the same issue so I'm completely on my own for this one.

I've been trying to manually add these entries and also moved the code that creates them to try and load everything at a different spot, but it all results in the same finicky vibrator. Sometimes I have to reboot 4 or 5 times to get it back, sometimes it comes back on first reboot. There's no consistency with this bug, so it's hard to track down.

Now, that being said, your report is slightly different in that you say you lose the vibrator while the phone is on. If that is the case, I would love to see a logcat of the event. It might provide me insight into why the vibrator is so finicky.

On a separate note, this problem seems to happen less in the new 4.3.1 build which I'm in the process of uploading right now ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
New Build Up - 20131029

Hey guys, so the new build is up. It's build 20131029 and is now Android version 4.3.1.

Downloads are both on xda and androidfilehost.com as usual. I have left the previous build up just in case someone needs that build, so make sure you download the right ones. The ROM is build 20131029 and the new gapps package is 20131030 (not to be confused with the first 20131003 gapps package). The new gapps package includes the latest Play Store 4.4.21 and all other apps updated to latest as of October 30, 2013.

There are new governors in this build, and would suggest that you only use the SmartAssV2 governor as the Adaptive and Lagfree governors are really crap and may cause your phone to reboot randomly. Also, it isn't unusual for the phone to lock and reboot while trying to change the governor, so if that happens, just try changing it again after reboot.

I will no longer include my custom init.d scripts as they are really no longer needed and are instead causing issues. PM me if you need either of them and I would be happy to post them.

IT'S BACK!!! The Advanced Device Settings panel where we used to turn BLN on/off, set screen sensitivity and calibrate the gyroscope. I have brought it back to CM10.2 as it was removed as of CM10.1 (not sure why... I use it). To access it, go to Settings -> Device -> Advanced

In the next release, I'm looking to add some more governors for playing with and some IO Schedulers as well. I'm also trying to get the BLN to work properly 100% of the time and add a couple of extra options for it to the Advanced Device Settings panel.

Have fun and Enjoy!!!
[Galaxy S II General] irenek:
I will flash it tonight :) Thank you, Titanic!
[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
Will a dirty flash do or should we be doing a clean install?

Thanks again Titanic for this build. :)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Dirty flash should be fine, but make sure you still take a nandroid just in case ;)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Amazing! Thanks very much TF. Will try this out this week...
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Working great so far. Don't know why but for some reason the notification pull down is laggy.

Thank you very much t_f.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Hey. So far good update. After the initial flash (clean) I had a bit of a problem with the menu and back buttons not launching the menu or returning to the previous screen, but after many reboots it seems to have resolved itself. I do have a question. Did we lose the option for the torch in the notification bar and for the longpress button action on the lockscreen? I recall an earlier post about remapping the capacitive buttons but I can't seem to find it. Other than that its all nice and smooth! Thanks again TF!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Try opening torch first, turn the light on and then off. Then reboot the phone. I had the same thing happen to me. It seems the settings app did not realize it was installed for some reason.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Which governor are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
I tried both SmartassV2 and interactive.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I haven't had this lag. Maybe try the ondemand governor, that is what the smartass governor is based on.
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Still lags, but I can live with it. :)

YouTube issues

I still have the old release from the beginning of October on my phone but with the updated kernel and my YouTube app opens up but as soon as it goes to play the media stream it FC's. I've tried rebooting, still doesn't work. I try re-installing, doesn't work. I try removing the scripts, still nothing. I change the settings for the overlays in addition to the scripts, nothing. I tried to re-install the GAPPS, nothing. Do you think the new image may fix this or should I create a logcat? :(

EDIT: Flashing the new ROM to see if it helps. If so it's also going on my fiancé's phone since she has hers bloated to the max with that crappy old GB Bell ROM. I've been trying to get her to upgrade for like a year plus, and finally now she wants out of the shackles from Bell's crappy soulless ginger OS. She's been having issues and I told her everything was rocking on the old ROM except for a weird issue with YouTube which she can't live without as a person of the opposite sex.

EDIT #2: Still no go after flashing the new ROM cleanly. Dalvik was cleared after each step. Something isn't working. How would you like me to send you that logcat TF?
[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
JB 4.3.1

Flashed the new build last night, so far so good. Only thing, when i flashed cm10.2 the first time, all the apps i had got restored, not this time. Any idea?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
The YouTube fc was occurring if you were not using the bell flex APN... Go to Settings -> Wireless & Network -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names and change it to Bell Flex ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Did you do a clean install or dirty flash?
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
The new CWM recovery has an option to format /storage/sdcard0 - does this actually work? does it format the internal memory?

And after doing this format, is it possible to flash the new ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I assume it works, although I have not tried it. It should only format the internal sdcard if you select sdcard0 and the external if you select sdcard1. Your system, data and cache partitions should remain untouched during this process and you should still be able to flash the ROM after ;)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Ok thanks... will try it for the next release... already flashed the current one :)
[Galaxy S II General] manfromgta:
First of all, thank you Titanic for your continued support on our S2. I'm downloading latest now and will be clean flashing it shortly. Feed back to follow.

Quick off topic question. The recovery has tiny fonts and was wondering if this is the same for e1? Is there a way to increase the font size. My eyes aren't what they once were. Lol

Does LTE work now?

I did a speed test and got slower result with LTE enabled.

On stock ROM, it used to be much faster on LTE. Curious if this is a CM limitation?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
That can definitely be changed, although I'm not sure how off the top of my head. I'll let you in on a secret though. I'm secretly working on getting PhilzRecovery up and working for our device. Once I can get that compiling without the need for mods, then I can send it to the Dev and he can add touch functionality. This is proprietary touch code which is why it has to compile without modification since he will be compiling it for us with the touch code present. I'll let you all know when that is ready, in the meantime, I will look into modifying our current cwm to increase font size. At the same time, I will look into changing the names of our internal and external storages as I hate looking at directory paths ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
LTE has always worked. I don't get LTE speeds at home though. Even I'm or and about, I'm getting about 17Mb average.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Ok fair enough. Noticed a funny thing - with LTE enabled, download is slower but upload is faster LOL!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yeah, I had that happen once before and also thought or was very strange. I think the limitation for cm is in the ril software. It's the radio interface link and is responsible for all radio communication to/from the phone. Unless Samsung releases the source for their ril, we have no choice but to use the latest available radio firmware for our device which is 4.1.2. Cm has made this backwards compatible meaning that in cm10.2 there are provisions to allow the use of older radio firmware like the one that we are using. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I saw somewhere, talks about cm writing their own ril, but haven't heard or read anything since. Would be nice if they could write their own.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
More questions... ;)

The reboot option in power menu doesn't have recovery option anymore... is there a way to get this back?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yup, it's now by user choice to turn it on. It's in Developer Options:

Settings -> Developer Options -> Advanced Boot
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
I dont see Developer Options in settings
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
You will first need to enable Developer Options... Go to:

Settings -> About Phone

Then scroll to the bottom and tap on the Build Number 7 times. This will enable the Developer Options ;)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
LOL not much of an effort to hide it.. thanks google
[Galaxy S II General] manfromgta:
Initial reaction. I clean flashed latest 4.3.1. Flashed latest gapps and restored apps using Titanic backup. Absolutely no issues after initial setup. I did have to reboot once for haptic feed back. Other than that everything I've tested worked out of box. More feedback to follow. Great job Titanic!! Thanks a million!

wondering if anyone got it working...:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'm sorry, I don't understand what your trying to enable and what is not working for you??? Can you explain in a little more detail ;)
[Galaxy S II General] FuryriderX:
We are missing the hardware antenna for NFC. There is a hardware hack available though, google around and you'll find it.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
You'll need an NFC antenna in order to get it working... I have used it in CM10 but haven't tried it with this new build

He's talking about NFC I believe

Yes, i was talking about the NFC. Thanks neptune_ for letting everyone know.:good:
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Another question.... :p

Is there a way to get the torch / flashlight in the quick settings tile? Was handy before in the pulldown...

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yes, if you open torch from the app drawer, turn it on then turn it off and reboot. The settings app isn't picking it up for some reason but after you run it manually it should detect it and give you the options to add it to the pull down or quick settings menu ;)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Ah sorry you already posted this, I missed it.... thanks!

I followed the steps and after reboot, torch is still not listed in the quick settings panel
[Galaxy S II General] FuryriderX:
Same issue here.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Yep same problem. Can't get it to show up.

Guys..

Android 4.4 kitkat is out...:D

[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
Yeah that's it, i did a clean flash this time.

Went trough the day and everything is great so far. I will update when most of the apps i am using will be insttalled and have tried them.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
If torch isn't showing up for you, try booting into cwm and wipe dalvik cache. Let me know if this works as I didn't have to do this but is the only thing I can think of that would prohibit torch from being detected.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Now we wait and seer how long it takes before cm updates their repos with the new source.

I'll build it as soon as the repos are there :D

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Well, it might be a little while before we see kitkat. I just saw this post by cm:

[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
So I need some help, I'm working on the bln and can't seem to figure or what is triggering it to stick. Can you all pay close attention to what had happened when it sticks. Was the screen already on or off, did you only just turn the screen on when you got a notification that caused it to stick, was it a single notification or multiple and what kind of notification was it. As soon as I can pin point what is causing it to stick, I can get to work fixing it.

Thanks for your help guys ;)

Launcher App

Launcher app (Nova) does not stay on memory even if the "Aggressive Desktop" option is enabled in the nova launcher app settings.

Frequent redraws happening if more applications (5 to 10) are active in memory.

Not sure if this has something to do with the build.prop to always keep the app in memory or it is purely nova launcher related issue.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'm using go launcher ex and have it locked in memory (app setting). No issues here. I'll give Nova a try and see. There is supposed to also be a build.prop tweak to lock the launcher in memory, I'll play around with that and see if it helps.

EDIT:

Try adding this to your build.prop and then reboot:

Phone reboots if I go into the gallary

Hi Everyone, I just updated to the newest firmware cm-10.2-20131029 and as soon as I go into the Gallary, the phone locks up and then reboots. I am wondering if it needs to do a media scan before I can go in there.

I took out the external sd card rebooted the phone and then it works fine.

by the way, awesome new version, it's pretty slick

jasit
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I've never used Textra, but I'll try it out and see what I can find... Is it the whole app that doesn't work or just parts of it?

This is due to low memory. You should still be able to press where the buttons would have shown to unlock, then close any un-needed apps in the Recent Apps History to free up some memory. I haven't looked into it yet, but I'm sure there are some build.prop tweaks we can use to fix the memory issues ;) I'll let you know when I have a chance to look into that!

I was just able to set a custom ringtone for a contact, although I have not had that contact call me to test it out that way. Can you explain with a little more detail what doesn't work. Are you able to set the ringtone but it just doesn't play when that contact calls you?
