Does VPN work with this build?

I tried to create a new VPN setup but it keeps asking for credential storage password
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I don't have my own vpn, but had tried a while back with a free vpn service and was able to connect without issue. It required certain things to be set, such as I had to have a pin set for my lockscreen instead of Swype and I think I had to provide vpn administrator access to my device (this was requested via a notification).

EDIT:

I just connected to justfreevpn.com. This time I had to set the lockscreen pin and did not have to set device administrator though (maybe I didn't the first time either. Can't remember for sure). In any case, I'm connected to vpn ;)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Ok so when I go into VPN from settings, it immediately asks for credential password or something... and no matter what I type, keeps asking for that.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Are you on the bell flex apn?

EDIT:

Also, do you have any other corporate services running such as a corporate exchange email?
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
No, I'm on Telus. Strictly personal phone, no corporate use.

EDIT:

This solved the issue: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-2012/301151-credential-storage.html
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I just found something, go to Settings -> Security and then press Clear credentials ;) This is apparently to protect your saved wifi data/passwords, not sure if your saved networks will be reset, but it should get you past that credential screen ;)
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
The Clear Credentials option was greyed out before.

I did the trick from the link above and that seems to be reset the credential store. :)

Thanks very much!

Had my first notification drawer freeze today. My messaging app was being glitchy, coming from lock screen. Then i pulled the notification drawer and it froze up.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I really need to see a log of this, I haven't had it happen to me since the first release.

Well guys, check out the update I posted on g+ only moments ago.

https://plus.google.com/114046040151741098930/posts/DcUfTWvtqqM

Today marks the day that the SGH-I757M entered the ranks of devices now running Android 4.4 kitkat (CM11.0) :D

Check my post for the details, it will not be released until usable and any beta testers will be recruited through my g+, so add me to your following circle if you're interested in beta testing.
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
T_F, you truly make this phone worth having. If it wasn't for you I would have thrown this phone out the window a long time ago.

I'm now following you on circles. If you need me to test anything hit me up.

Hi everybody.I have question about rom official rom for I757M 4.1.2 JB.Can I use I727 Skyrocket rom 4.1.2 to flash to my I757?may I use I727 official rom in my I757m?because specification of this phones similar only difference in display size.Please reply my question:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
I don't remember which thread or which specific ROM, but someone else tried flashing another phone's rom and it didn't work. You could brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
It won't even let you flash it because your device model doesn't match. Never flash anything intended for another device unless your a developer and know what your doing ;)

Many thanks...

Thank you TF. I had completely forgotten about this. Is there an explination as to why that APN setting works with YouTube and the other one does not?
[Galaxy S II General] Ramal1982:
meaning this words

Solution: The solution is to use a file manager to move the mp4 files to a new directory and add a ".nomedia" file to that directory so that when browsing photos in the gallery, it does not try to load the offending mp4 files.

I understand i must creat a new folder and rename it nomedia? i right understand ? Please write me with simple way what I must to do with problem on mp4 files?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I told you before, you cannot use this apk without porting it. I can't help you with that. You will not be able to use it.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'm actually not sure of the explanation of this, however, we have always gotten better network speeds and access while using the flex APN and am glad that it fixed this YouTube issue. My speculation would be network timeout or denial, but that purely a guess.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Which Rom are you running? Stock 4.1.2 or this one cm10.2? You can't be running both and your comments are about both Roms, so which Rom are you running?
[Galaxy S II General] Ramal1982:
cm 10.2 android 4.3

this rom unofficial cm 10.2 for Bell SGH-I757M,but there dont understand about mp4 files please write to me with simple way what i must to do about mp4 files?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Make a new directory inside /storage/sdcard0/DCIM called oldmedia and then inside that directory create an empty file with the filename .nomedia then move the mp4's to the oldmedia folder and that's all.
[Galaxy S II General] Ramal1982:
i757m

how creat nomedia file? i must put mp4 files to oldmedia folder?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Use a filemanager like ESFileExplorer to create the directory and create the .nomedia file and put mp4's to oldmedia folder.

Connecting to your PC...

Is there any way of regaining the ability to use USB Mass Storage Mode in this kernel version and port of 10.2? I know that it was working way back when on CM9 from DSIXDA's forum although we seem to have lost that in all of the recent builds including the old dadoes builds.

Even with Samsung Kies drivers installed on my PC at home the phone doesn't detect very well to allow file transfers through MTP mode. I just had it work after about 3 days fiddling with everything that I could think of, even then it's hit or miss.

I went as far as sweeping out the registry and all of the local driver files on my machine manually. I even command-lined the registered oem files using the pnputil (-e/-d) commands. Not an overly important fix as I can always network share the files to my fiance's laptop and transfer them to my microSD card through her built-in card reader if needed. Just very odd. Has anyone else had issues transferring files through USB MTP mode?

I have the developer option USB debugging enabled for use with Titanium Backup. This also allows the phone to detect when connected to USB which allows MTP mode to be selected but it just seems weird. My PC keeps trying to install the driver even though it worked before we had the 10.2 port. I've come to the conclusion that it is the phone not being detected properly as my fiance's laptop never had the software installed (Kies) nor was her phone ever connected to it as it is the same as mine. I had always connected it to mine and is now also ported to 10.2 (she was hesitant at first but now that I've convinced her she's as happy as a pig in mud). Both phones have the same issue.

Any glimmer of hope that a logcat can point you in the right direction TF? As mentioned on Google+ earlier if you need help with the programing I'm willing to dump the repos on a VM of Ubuntu on my PC and help you out with this stuff. Just figured I'd ask first if you had any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

I've got VirtualBox downloaded and I'm currently downloading 13.10 of Ubuntu Desktop 64-bit. I'll download 32-bit as well just in case I need that instead. Could you please message me through the forum or Google+ TF? That way you can help me get started on trying to help out. I know I need the development SDK and such with specific repos. I have vested interest in this phone since both my fiance and I are using it and would like to give back for all that you've done for us. So I figured I could help the community in whatever way that I can. Can't guarantee first rate developer skills as it has been a few years since I coded and since I decided to go more the route of hardware/infrastructure/security support/analyst with my IT career than full blown software engineer (programmer) but I pick it up quite easily again if I try. Let me know.

Give some of these folks less reason to bash on your outstanding dedication to the cause by calling this an alpha/beta release or whatever they deem it to be. I daily drive this bad boy.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
MTP has been disabled at the kernel level in favour of UMS (USB Mass Storage). There was a reason that it was disabled, I just can't remember why at the moment as I wasn't the one who disabled it. It might have been incompatible drivers. If you want to try a build with it enabled, your more than welcome. It's a switch in the cyanogenmod_celoxhd_defconfig in my forked repo. Just search the file for mtp and you should find the config option.

In terms of kies, it's a horrible software and has never worked well for me on any rom other than stock. I assume that is because there are proprietary binaries on the stock Rom for kies which have not been added to any of our Roms. I access all my files by using the plain old Windows explorer (or nemo while I'm working on Linux mint). This is accomplished by putting the phone into usb debugging before you plug it into the computer. It should detect and mount it as an external storage device under your Windows file explorer. If it doesn't, go into your device manager and uninstall the drivers, search Google for android Samsung mobile phone drivers. You should find a link to the Samsung developer portal with a download of the usb drivers required. They may be newer than the ones that were installed via kies.

In terms of help, anything you can offer is great. Look at my github for the repos that I've had to fork for customization and if you have any idea how to fix any of the currently known issues, please let me know. I will commit the changes and give you fill credit for any bug fixes. If you need to know which repo to look in for something, key me know, I know the source tree fairly well at this point.

Ubuntu VM

I've figured why I wasn't able to install my VM image from the ISO file. I had disabled Intel VM in my BIOS settings. Sorry this is taking longer than expected TF. I'm also trying to get rid of all the unneeded crap in Ubuntu so it's as lite as possible before starting to build. This ensures that I'll only have what is necessary for development.

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

I also forgot how large the build requirements were in terms of hard drive sizing. I had only pre-allocated 30GBs to my Dev VM VDI image. Need to nuke reload a larger 50GB VDI image file to be on the safe side. I'd only ever build one image at a time anyways I think. Do you typically export more than one build at a time? For myself that seems excessive in the short term. I think one at a time is enough right?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yeah, I only deal with one at a time except for right now I have kitkat on my machine too.

I would recommend maybe 75GB if you have the space. The source code download alone is over 10gb and if your going to use ccache which you should, it should be allocated at least 20gb then you need to have room for it to actually create the filesystem that will be flashed to the phone. This is done before everything gets compressed into zip and o files are linked together.
[Galaxy S II General] Pracsus:
ha...

Nuke reload number 3 :P. Luckily it's quick to mount a VM.

Hi I must creat folder in DCIM and to the oldfolder put nomedia fayl and my mp4 videos ?Do I right understand it?:(

And I must delete camera folder? in DCIM folder
[Galaxy S II General] Pracsus:
To the previous poster.

Step 1. Download the following App: ES File Explorer Manager

Step 2. Open App.

Step 3. On the left click on local and the little blue World+MobilePhone icon.

Step 4. Click on Local, then on Device, then on the sdcard shortcut, then DCIM, followed then by Camera.

Step 5. Click on the + sign at the bottom left that says "New"

Step 6. Select folder and name it oldfiles then click into the folder.

Step 7. Click on the + sign a second time and this time create a file which will be named ".nomedia" (Hint: you will not see that the file has been created as by default the application hides files that start with a "." in the name, you would have to go into the ES File Explorer Manager settings and unhide these files, if you do as I have to write this list you WILL see the .nomedia file)

Step 8. Copy all of your old media files (.mp4s) from the various locations on the device and/or external sdcard into this folder you have just created (the .nomedia file you created second to the folder will prevent the media scanner from causing you grief when scanning all available media).

Step 9. Pray that I have been verbose enough that this helps resolve your issue and that you can stop being pushy with Titanic_Fanatic. You know, since he's tried numerous times to help you with what appears to have started as an unrelated issue for the stock OS nonetheless in what is a thread for NON-Stock firmware still under development.

Please, whomever originally barked at TF for having commented on the fellow we have now both tried to help as being pushy and for which the Alpha/Beta debate ensued, refrain from doing so to my post, otherwise I will seek moderator support in quelching your negative attitude right out of this thread. None of us... especially TF need this kind of negative attitude.

* NEW KERNEL *

Hey guys, I have a new kernel ready for testing. This one has a fix for the screen on delay. I've been using it for about a day and screen on time is excellent. Let me know if you experience the same.

Just open the terminal emulator after you try to connect to your tv. Then type su then enter. Allow it to get superuser access then type the following:

This will create a logcat.txt file at the root of your sdcard. Post that here and I will have a look ;)

Thanks titanic_fanatic, I ran logcat, then connected wireless display to my tv, everything got connected, and started streaming black screen, left the black screen on tv for about 5 secs or more, then closed logcat program....

I see a small difference with the new kernel.

This rom is really Nice, i have been using it for 2 weeks and it go well. Yesterday i just found out that i can't play a game that I really like. It just FC when I Start it. It is the tribez. Also, when I use the app tubemate and I go see my downloads, my phone reboot instantly ! ! ! :(
[Galaxy S II General] :
See if comments on the playstore for those apps have similar complaints. Devs often abandon apps and they may not be compatible with 4.3 ...a lot of apps I've loved in the past wouldn't be updated in over a year and stop working on newer android versions.
[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Loaded new kernel, everything seems to be working as it should. :good:

The only thing that i'm experiencing is lock screen lag, seems to have stuck around since the initial build.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I tried both apps, tubemate worked for me without issue, but tribez consistently fc's before it finishes loading it's native libraries.

For tubemate, try clearing the data from the app and see if that helps the problem. It might be that you have corrupted data from restoring the app and data if that's what you did. If that doesn't help, please take a logcat and attach it here so that I can have a look.

For tribez, I would suggest contacting the developer about the fc. Also, after the app fc's, there is a prompt that allows you to send report. Make sure you click on that so that the error gets recorded to the developers console, that will help him track down the source of the error.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Is it lag from waking up the display to displaying the lockscreen or lag unlocking the lockscreen to your homescreen or both?

I myself experience lag at boot unlocking the screen to my homescreen.
[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Sorry i should've been more specific. There is a slight delay from when pressing the power button to when the screen turns on, however i was talking about a lag when going to unlock the phone. IE: Once the lock screen is visable, when i move the slider to unlock or type in a pattern/pin the device lags and input is very slow/chuggy until i get to the home screen, then everything is extremely responsive like normal.

I've also had a few occurrences of not being able to see the slider and/or pattern unlock when trying to unlock the phone, those times i'd just go by memory to unlock the phone without seeing any feedback. I believe this one you know of, something about low memory? Would enabling zRAM and KSM help at all? I've turned on both about an hour ago, curious to see if it makes any difference for both issues.

If anyone is interested in trying out the new 4.4 KitKat launcher, it is now available.

I've had it running for a few hours now, runs nice and smooth. Google has updated the search app - so you can enjoy the swipe to the right to immediately access Google Now. the only thing that is not carried over is the "Ok Google" voice activation.

The launcher is avail here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291676903

Install as you would any other app, make sure your google search has the nov14th update and press the home key to assign your new launcher.

Thanks, It did fix the notification pull down lag for me...:good::good:

Do u have anymore build.prop magics?:p
[Galaxy S II General] fab-4ever:
Thank you for your answer!

I did what you said for tubemate and it still crashes. I tried to do a logcat, but I never did it before. I found a tutorial and installed catlog, but the logcat.txt that it gives me is empty. I'm really a noob, sorry. I found another logcat in my sdcard and it just don't want to open.

Also, my phone crash when I open tubemate and pull the yellow circle (demi-cercle, but I don't know how to say it in English). When I do that, everything freeze and then my phone reboot after a few seconds.

For The tribez, I did send a report to the developer.

Thank you

mic problem on loud speaker

Hi All,

I had this phone for a while until I got the Note II (what a phone :) ) even though I still love the S2 but I gave that to my mom. The ROM has been running excellently and have been up-to-date with all the new kernels and such. I just have one thing to address and not sure if its just my phone but every time I am calling, and put it on loud speaker the mic does not work, so to make it work i get it out of loud speaker and have to put it close to my ear so that the proximity sensor recognizes and the earspeakers and mic both work fine then. Anyone else have this problem? Its not related to the ROM as I have had this from a while back but any input in suggestions or fixes will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

p.s. Thanks TF for all the hard work you have done and continue to put in, you are the reason why I still care about my phone :)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I unfortunately don't know what the fix for that is. If it's consistent between Roms then it might be hardware related. I'm not sure though if it's hardware related.

Yesterday, I google Kitkat for I757M. And I found this:

(I cannot post outside links, so please google "Kitkat for I757", it should be the first link.)

it shows the Kitkat for I757. Is that true? I cannot believe it. Is anybody can check this? If it's true, that will be perfect for I757M which only has 750M RAM.
