That would be awesome! If I knew how to record the logs I would get them for you :)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
FYI - I've always used pattern lock and never had any issues mentioned above.
[Galaxy S II General] Blazing Hornet:
Run me down on how you installed this update.

For example I have CWM already on it.

So I Wipe/Factory Reset

Then I Wiped the Cache

Then I Wiped the Dalvik

Next was install from SD the ROM

Then install from SD the GAPPS

Reboot and I am golden?

Anything different you did?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Are you using philz recovery or the regular cwm? If using philz, use the wipe to install new Rom option, if using regular cwm, also format the /system partition in addition to the wipe/factory reset option ;) the newer Roms don't delete the system partition and that's only asking for trouble ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Blazing Hornet:
I'm using the CWM 6.0.3.9 in your OP.

I didn't format the system partition, so maybe that could be it.

So Factory Reset

Format System Partition

Clear Dalvik

?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
That's right, the same order you listed, with formatting the system partition after wipe/factory reset ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Blazing Hornet:
I'll try this again and report back

im having an issue with the camera when i take a picture it turns off my phone and says battery is zero unless the phone is pluged in then it works fine. how can i record logs so i can show you the error?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
This one is tricky ;) open your terminal on the phone, then type the following (not typing the $ because this shows each line of code):

DO NOT CLOSE THE TERMINAL!

Just press your home button so that logcat will continually record the log to a text file in the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt. If you close the terminal, the logcat stops recording to the text file.

Now, with the logs recording, try taking some pics to get the bug to happen. Hopefully the log will show something valuable ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Blazing Hornet:
Food for thought, I have it all installed again and will watch to see if it returns. Another thing about the screen lock... it is forced on by the Outlook Exchange. This is due to the work email requires that it controls the phone to be locked and whatnot. Don't know if this would affect anything.

EDIT:

After complete re-install I am left with no setting anywhere for vibration. No idea why.

To install I:

Wiped Cache/Factory Reset

Wiped Cache Partition

Wiped Dalvik Cache

Formatted /Data /Cache /System

Flashed ROM

Flashed GAPPS

Flashed Radio

Flashed GalaxyS2Settings

Flashed BLN-FIX

Rebooted

EDIT: I obviously didn't catch that earlier post on resetting the phone. I pulled the battery once and rebooted which did not fox it, then simply did a reboot and the vibrations and all the vibration settings appeared :)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Ive noticed a few quirks lately. Mind you I also run xposed framework with the GravityBox ui module, with tweaks applied.

Ive found my screen not to shut off while i am in a call with the phone near my ear.

Ive also found my backlight keys to turn off, but not back on when the screen is on and i ma touching the screen. This could be due to a setting somewhere in an app, or the ROM I have not found yet, or due to xposed framework. I will test with a dirty flash and the framework disabled tomorrow to see if I can fix this myself.

Another suggestion I can make that seems to have woke up the UI for me a fair amount is to disable gentle sleepers. You can do that by doing the following using Android Terminal, or I used an app called Andromizer.

#disable

echo "NO_GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

#enable

echo "GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

Sleeper Fairness is a concept used by CFS which treat sleeping/waiting tasks as if they were in a run queue. This implies tasks which spend most of the time waiting for an user input and such will get a fair share of CPU when they need it. Disabling Gentle Fair Sleepers could improve UI responsiveness.

My pattern lock pretty much has the same response. I just have alwayshays been able to reboot using the power button. Sometimes the lock shows, others not. When it dosnt show, I tend to still swipe my code as though it was there and it still unlocks.

Alot of times though my screen won't lock. That is what troubles me. I would press the power button to lock, but after if I turn it on (let's say 10 min later. ) the lock dosnt show.

I feel the lock is switching between its settings to show pattern, to his pattern, show dots, show mistakes or not, etc. The pattern stick but the actual settings jumble around.

Any ideas of why the lock screen won't activate?
[Galaxy S II General] fab-4ever:
I really like this ROM. Hopefully I waited for the Dec. release and I'm not disappointed.

I just have a question, what app can I use to send order by voice. Sorry, it's difficult to ask it with the good words since I'm French. There was an app called Discussion in my last ROM and it was really useful to send SMS with my Bluetooth when I was driving, or call someone just by asking it. It doesn't matter if the app is in English or French,it's just that I can't find any good one (I don't even know what keyword I could use to find this type of app). The one that is already in this ROM is a bit stupid... it never does what I want (I say call Karolane and it starts a search on google with the keyword "caire Du land "?!?!?)

Thx for your answers.

With the new install the lock screen bugged out this morning. The screen came on and showed the time but the box that displays the numbers for the lock did not. I could here the button noises for pressing the numbers even though they were not visible. The lights at the bottom were off. The power button worked allowing for me to press reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] fab-4ever:
Had the same issue a few times, reboot is the only option that I found.

[Galaxy S II General] TheCrazyDirectioner:
Hasn't even been that long and I just have to say wow. Downloaded the latest build and ROM is pretty much stable for me. Perfect as a daily driver. It really amazes me to see such awesome work on a device that barely anybody has.

Really the only two things I can think of off the top of my head that are noticeable is that sometimes (like 20% of the time) the screen can take 3-4 seconds to actually turn on after pressing power button (this is barely noticeable most of the time though), and that seeking forward in music in Apollo is messed up. Seeking forward in a song will just cause playback to be all skippy and weird. Play Music works much better. After clicking on part of the seek bar still takes about 2-3 secs to actually seek to that part of the song, but it still fixes the problem in the end and it's something I can live with.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
So I've been running with the pattern unlock now for a couple of days and it did the not showing the pattern keypad glitch yesterday morning, but was able to Swype my pattern add if it were there.

It seems to be graphics related. I think there is a memory leak, although I'm not sure where. I'll look into the lockscreen code to see if I can find any memory leaks ;)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
That used to happen with the previous build more often. On current release, its happened maybe once or twice... not a big deal. Re-locking and unlocking again brings up the pattern dots.
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Hello titanic. I finally decided to install the bln fix. But now my advanced settings crash. I can't use your settings. :s
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
After you flashed the fix and rebooted, did it say upgrading android? If not, try booting into recovery wipe dalvik-cache and reboot ;)

If that doesn't work, please post log and I'll check it out ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Blazing Hornet:
Awesome! I'm actually using the PIN screen unlock, that is what I'm forced to use by the Outlook Security thing. This is what has been causing me the issue, but I'm sure it is the same thing you ran into.
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Yep deleting devlk chache did the trick all good. My maps are also crashing when I use it. It crashes immediately If I try navigation.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
My suggestion there would be to try deleting the app then reinstalling it. Maybe it's having issues with its data, I'm not really sure without seeing a log of the event though ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
CPU spy can't read the CPU states file. Cab anyone test this for me?
[Galaxy S II General] Arodg25:
I'm having some battery issues. If I recharge my phone and don't restart then I get the vbus wake lock we all know about, but if I do restart I get an ironic PowerManagmentService.Wakelock that drains just as fast as the Vbus wake lock. Am I the only one? Or has someone found a solution? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I haven't noticed it, but I'll look into it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
cpu spy works fine for me. Did it say specifically what file path it was trying to access?
[Galaxy S II General] Brockman:
Titanic,

I'm consistently having two issues with this 10.2. First, the mobile network reception is not great at all. Is there anything i can do to improve it? i used to always have full bars, but now its usually 1 to 3 at the very most. And second, i use the app "shield basic" for work. It will not perform the initial set up and crashes every time. any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Do you actually get bad reception or cut off calls? I too find myself with not add many bars as I used to have, but my service doesn't seem to be affected, so I always just thought it was a bug with reading the signal.

For the shield app, can you post a logcat and I'll take a look ;)

After you go through the process that caused the app to FC, open your terminal and type the following commands without the $ ;)

Then close the terminal and it will have created a logcat.txt file at the root of your sdcard, post that here ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Brockman:
As for the service - yes, I get poor reception. Calls are echo"y" and I have lost a few as well, mid call. Data also will not connect if its too low, which means I've missed emails, etc until reception improves. Sometimes a restart does improve the signal without changing my location.

Here is a link to my logcat for Shield Basic(can't attach files here yet): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-0e_ntAUfJpdDFtbGZDLTg3N1E/edit?usp=sharing
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I got your log, thank you. It seems to be causing a segfault which means that there is an issue with the maybe libraries (.so files).

I'm going to download and try it for myself to see if it is the Rom or the app where the issue occurs.
[Galaxy S II General] vickas:
So I've found an interesting thing about a workaround that was previously discovered for the notification pulldown freeze issue. I set composition type to mdp in build.prop, and that doesn't prevent the issue entirely, but instead of freezing, the notification bar will simply crash and restart.

I think the entire main GUI theme or something crashed along with, because it resets my background as well. MDP also has the side effect of some flickering, but I would rather the flickering than having to reboot when I use certain apps. I can also confirm that stock SMS app does seem to cause the issue under heavy use. Hopefully this helps narrow the problem down! :)

Probably related to the pin and pattern unlock issues, swipe unlock often fails to render for me, similar to what was described above. It always swipes to unlock correctly though. Never happens right after boot, but often starts shortly after. I have turned off everything I can from the lock screen, cLock without weather or calendar is the only thing there. No swipe targets either. If it makes any difference at all, I haven't noticed.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
The flicker can be fixed by disabling hw overlays in the developer options, but needs to be done each boot.

As for the statusbar freeze, I've been reviewing the code looking for memory leaks and haven't found any yet, but read something interesting I haven't tested yet. I read somewhere that there is some sort of memory leak in the screen off beam animation and that apparently causes all sorts of weird things. The good news is, if that's all it is we can turn it off until fixed, but haven't tested it yet and don't truly think that's the problem, it's just something I read ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
CPU Spy just says "No states file found" and to contact the developer to let them know that the states file is not readable.

Oh and about the statusbar freezing issue. I noticed that the status bar would freeze sometimes because of my messaging app. I happenned to switch out my messaging app to 8sms and the freezing virtually stopped. On a side not, I dont recommend 8sms. I was missing incoming text messages using it. I did a dirty wipe, Ive now switched back to stock SMS and the statusbar freezing happens 3 - 5 times a day for me now. Whether the messaging app is involved or not. I think I will need to do a clean install to do any further bug testing. I think regardless of that, we should look into why the messaging app appears to give me statusbar freezing.
[Galaxy S II General] Blazing Hornet:
An update to where I am now with this ROM.

After going through the while format and everything at the beginning of this week, I haven't had to pull the battery once.

However,

The phone still continually bugs on the lock screen. I can hold the power button and have that menu display and work properly but the lock screen doesn't show the lock numbers. It just shows the notification bar and the desktop background. A reboot fixes it but it eventually returns as the day progresses.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I saw that on g+. Had a little chuckle myself ;)
[Galaxy S II General] vickas:
Hmm, after turning off the beam animation (which I tried on an older build, but only resulted in a buggy looking scanline dissolve effect; I never tried to investigate further), I've found my lock screen sometimes behaves a little better. Doesn't seem to change notification bar issue.

After playing around with stopping and starting some memory hungry apps, I can only say there is a loose correlation, both with heavy apps and the beam animation, still not consistent enough for causation. The notification bar definitely works better when switching between apps often. Maybe the system GUI is kept in memory more aggressively here. Doesn't change lock screen though.

Keep seems to be the most consistent at crashing the notification bar. It's far too useful to get rid of though.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
New Build is Up!

Hey guys, the new build is up:

Download

Changelog

*** MERRY CHRISTMAS ***
[Galaxy S II General] slushee:
Just wanted to say TY to titanic_fanatic

Stock user finally took the plunge 2 days ago. Installed CWM using odin and then started your process installing updated CWM and CM 10.2 (2013 12 01).

Worked GREAT. i was really worried i'd brick my phone on the first attempt but all went extremely well.

Only issue I'm having is no Voicemail Notifications. Is this something that is a known bug?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Welcome to the thread :)

No actually, vm notification was an issue on previous Roms, but not this one. I just got a vm now and it's working for me (quote from the picture posted earlier :P).

I'm thinking since you were worried about bricking your phone, you followed the directions to a T so there should be no issue there. One thing though as I'm thinking about it, are you using the jb radio? I assume so as there is a check for that before you install the Rom, but just in case, go into settings -> About Phone and check that your baseband is I757MUGMC5. If it's not, just download and flash the jb radio. If it is the jb radio, I would double check that your settings in the phone app are correctly setup. Just open the phone app and press your menu button to get into the settings if the phone app and make sure that your vm number and phone number are set correctly.

Let me know what you find out ;)
[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Not sure if i'm the only one whos tried flashing this new update, but i've tried twice (clean installs, formatted everything) and as soon as it boots to the setup every service is FCing.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I had an FC with exchange at startup, and rebooting into recovery and wiping dalvik cache fixed it.
[Galaxy S II General] slushee:
You are right, I did follow the instructions very specifically. I flashed the ROM, Gapps and then the JB radio in that order as listed in the instructions.

Baseband shows - I757MUGMC5

Phone Settings show:

Voicemail>Setup>Voicemail Number > 16473832355 (the phone wont allow me to change it to anything else like my own phone number, but the internet says this is the right VM number for bell mobility?)

Additional Settings > My Phone Number > My phone number is set correctly

I've rebooted a few times over the course of the few days i've had this ROM installed. No problems that i see at all aside from the VM.

PS - actually while ive been sitting here a strange thing happened. while leaving my phone plugged into my computer using a USB cable, upon restart the capacitive buttons along the bottom didn't light up, vibration stopped and when i long pressed the power button the Silent/Vibration/Sound option was replaced by Sound ON/OFF option. Upon rebooting the phone NOT plugged into my computer's USB everything returned to normal.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I just read on another forum about someone else who was not getting vm notification, it turned out that in his phone settings under vm -> service, his carrier was not selected. He selected the carrier and vm started working. Could this be the same situation?

With the vib, it's a known bug, and sometimes requires a few reboots to get it back. I'm looking into building the module right into the kernel which I'm hoping will solve the finicky loading of the vibrator module ;) I can't think of why the lights didn't come on though, I'll investigate that one a little further ;)
[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
Thanks again Titanic and Merry Christmas to you.
[Galaxy S II General] grandmaster_b:
Hi TF,

So far I had a few force closes on boot then I rebooted and run the fix perms script in CWM and that fixed the force closes and as of yet I have had no black screen or lock screen issues so looking like a great Christmas present !!!

Superb work !
[Galaxy S II General] slushee:
Voicemail > Service > The only options here is "My Carrier". There doesn't appear to be any way to change this. The "My Carrier" has a blue dot beside it. Should it say something else? If so, how do I change it?

I appreciate the quick responses. Regardless of the VM notification, if I get a missed call i'll just check the VM anyways so for me, this is a very merry christmas :)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Nope, that is what it's supposed to be. The other user said that it didn't have the blue dot beside it so that's why I asked.

I'll let you know if I come across anything else in regards to this ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Hey, been a while. I can't believe I havent had to do this on this rom, but I can't seem to download the rom and gapps over wifi or data, and I can't find mass storage mode. MTP gives my a blank camera folder and camera wont let me access the SD card either. I guess I am still a newb haha. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] uwannabananababy:
Merry Christmas

Wow there's a whole lotta goodness in this thread! :highfive:Thank you very much Titanic_Fanatic.:good:
[Galaxy S II General] swamp_mule:
Messaging app crashes

Merry Christmas,

I just flashed this ROM and after boot up, I receive the following message:

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped".

Any thoughts. Sorry, I couldn't find anything in the thread search.

Darcy
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Try booting into recovery, go to Advanced and wipe only the dalvik cache boot back into android ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Are you able to access internet at all?

Mtp settings are accessible from the usb notification. That is enabled in developer options and only appears even your plugged in.

By sdcard, are you referring to the internal or external card? Does it give you an error?
[Galaxy S II General] swamp_mule:
Thanks for the quick response! One question, I'm familiar in CM9 being able to hold down the power button, having the reboot options come up and "Recovery" being one of the options. Is that not the case in CM10.2 anymore?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
It's now an option that you enable in developer options. You also have to un-hide the developer options ;) Go to Settings -> About Phone then scroll to the bottom and press the build number 7 times in quick succession. You will see a toast message confirming that developer options were enabled. Then go back to the main settings screen and you will now find developer options and performance are available. Click on developer options and enable advanced reboot ;)
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Thanks for the new release! Runs great.

One issue I am having is that usb storage is not mounting. I plugged my phone into my pc and nothing comes up. The phone only charges.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Ya that's the same issue I've been having. No error, no internet issue, just no internal or external storage access.....oh and merry Christmas all!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
My Linux system isn't having any issues reading the sdcards. I'm just booting up Windows right now to test it there ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Just tested on my Windows system. It didn't pop up a notification telling me that it was inserted :-/ but when I used Windows explorer it is listed as a device. I was able to access my sdcard that way. Did you guys check in Windows explorer to see if the device was listed? Is it actually listed in your Windows explorer?
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
All I get is a folder called 'sgh-i757m' with a camera icon (and im using MTP), but the folder is empty. I also tried mounting storage while in recovery, still no go.
[Galaxy S II General] grandmaster_b:
This works fine for me I can read the onboard storage and my 64gb SD card perfectly I did perform dirty flash from previous version.

TF is the future of the S2 HD !!!

TF are you going to try KitKat now this ROM is near perfect?

Thanks for all your great work for our phones!
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Checked windows explorer and nothing shows up. :(
