any other thing or ROM of multiwindow you can suggest??
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Omni rom supports it, but we do not have an omni rom for this device.
[Galaxy S II General] Alexander Kalinin:
CM normal flash after flashing Stock 4.1.2 via Odin

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Blazing Hornet:
Posting to update on how the 2 devices running this ROM. Recently I flashed this onto the second device.

Scale 1-5, 5 being the phone is always on/being used

In terms of the users.

User 1 uses the phone about a 2 on the scale. Primarily for calls and emails. Lock screen is forced by email client, PIN type lock with no weather widget. I remember the previous ROMs with this setup and I must say it has come a long way. I have yet to see the lock screen not appear/not work as I had reported back in the past. It certainly is faster than stock and looks good doing it.

User 2 uses the phone about a 4 on the scale. Heavy user, no games however. Lots of texts and calls, emails are linked, and web browsing. The Lock Screen is set to a simple slide, no weather widget.

It appears as though proven by the differences between how the phone is used by the two people I have using it that there has to be a memory leak on that lock screen. That is my best guess. User 2, even with the simple slide lock has the lock screen not respond (power button does not illuminate the screen just the lower keys) and is forced to pull the battery. This happens after the phone has been running for several hours. It is never an immediate thing if the phone has been recently restarted. I have disabled the cLock weather widget as I blame that for some memory usage. The only thing slower with CM on this phone is how the lock screen interacts/acts. Mainly the time taken for the screen to respond after having the power button pressed. before on stock 4.0.1 it was instant, now there is a delay in which the lower lights come on then the screen. The delay can vary from being a split second to 2 whole seconds.

Just some feedback on what I have noticed. Thanks again TF as always. I certainly like watching this ROM get better and better week after week :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Majortom420:
Some quick feedback: the battery life is performing quite poorly with interactive/deadline. Also this update is much better, less lag and less glitches however, the notification bar sliding down does still get stuck but not as often. Still a bit laggy at well and the screen still occasionally flickers. Even with clean install. Thanks for the update, hopes this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
The slidedown notification freezes for me always happen when i have textra text messaging notification with a picture of the sender shown.

It does not happen very often.
[Galaxy S II General] big_biso:
It is performing poorly for me too with Ondemand. It is since the latest build of 1/20 the battery life went down by 50%. I used to get about 15-16 hours and now hardly get to 10 hours for the same usage. But the build is much smoother and faster. I am sure in coming build they will find out what taking all the battery life. What I noticed is my 'Android OS' taking more battery than it use to (about 25% of baterry). Keep awake time on that is very high. Hopefully future build address this issue.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
For the apps that are causing the 'keep awake' issues, I've been using 'app opps xposed' module to take care of that and it seems to work for that, location abuse, and sensitive info grabs from apps. Just an option to see if it helps any.
[Galaxy S II General] big_biso:
where do I find or get this 'app opps xposed'?

But the Old build had an excellent battery life with the same apps. there most be something in the kernel that made the build much smoother but got hit on the battery.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
First search xda for the xposed installer and download that. You can then install individule modules or a compilation of tweaks like gravity box. App ops is a module you can find inside the xposed installer in the download menu. Lots of neat ones out there.

I should probably mention, with roms like CM, slim and pa, be mindful what modules you install as these roms are already modified.
[Galaxy S II General] Socim:
I remember app ops can be found by click the advance setting of privacy guard, but I am not sure if it is only for cm11.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Ha! No kidding. I'm using cm11 and I never realized that!. Settings>security > privacy guard> advanced.

That is app ops.
[Galaxy S II General] big_biso:
yup, I found it too on CM10.2 latest build. it seems from the first look that Play store and Android system has the top wake ups allowed count. I set them to denied wake up to see if that make battery life better
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'm ramping up to start work on our new kernel soon. Prob try get some work in over next few days. Prob see something by Monday if everything goes well!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
So now it's my turn to ask for help. [MENTION=4435341]bijon440[/MENTION], I decided to try the xposed appops you mentioned, never even used the framework before, so I'm a newbie on this one. The framework is installed and so is the module. I can access the app ops from settings, but when I click on an app, settings fc's. My logcat shows that there is a null pointer exception being thrown in this instance.

Did you experience the same? What did you do to fix it? This might actually even be something I can just enable in the ROM since its only hidden by Google but would like to try it before I get around to looking into that as there are other things I'm working on right now.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Very excited for this. Did you get your first build to run?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Looking at a build closer to the weekend. :)
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
I may have, and I think a second reboot stopped it. I very frequently clear dalvik so I might have done that as well. Other modules like gravity box and YouTube ad away made some funny things happen like my status bar disappearing, and yet system ui didn't fc. Odd. But again a reboot fixed it. The devs of each module caution about using them on highly modifies roms due to overlaps and conflictions when a tweak is applied. Many modules contain tweaks that already exist in a lot of roms anyway.

Sorry I can't be of more help, I haven't experienced anything a reboot didn't fix.
[Galaxy S II General] Majortom420:
Switching to interactive Governor improved battery life by a few hours if any one is interested
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Really looking forward to this. :)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Oh dear I hope I haven't jumped the gun! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Take your time and have fun!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'm here too if you have any questions ;)
[Galaxy S II General] big_biso:
You are correct. I can confirm after switching to interactive that in 7.5 hours and my battery still 75%. with minimum usage of course ( 19m screen time). Yesterday I got 13-14 hours with my normal usage. So definitely ondemand is behaving differently on this build as I used to get similar number with it on previous builds. any way interactive is as smooth and much better on battery so I will stick with it for now
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
What settings do you use for interactive? Choosing interactive slows my phone to a crawl.
[Galaxy S II General] big_biso:
I did not choose any setting. Whatever is there in the build by default. Min CPU 384 max CPU 1512 and I have check on boot but probably you do not need that one and Interactive is the default that came with the build.
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Same here. Phone feels a lot less snappy than with OnDemand.
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
I actually decided to give Interactive another shot, and these settings (with Trickster Mod) are actually working pretty well, all things considered.

above_highspeed_delay 3000

boost(and pulse_duration) 0

go_hispeed_load 90

hispeed_freq 1512

io_is_busy 1

min_sample_time 3500

target_loads 90

timer_rate 3000

timer_slack 8000

The default settings were just keeping it at lower frequencies (which at the end of the day doesn't necessarily mean better battery life), it just needed to be sped up a bit. I wouldn't know how to measure 'lag' with these settings, but the phone doesn't slow down or stutter while playing audio. I'll keep tweaking and see if anything works better.
[Galaxy S II General] slushee:
Updated to philz touch recovery 6.12.8 last night.

So far everything seems good however the background image appears to be tiled just like was mentioned in his post.

No issues so far with the vibration function.
[Galaxy S II General] big_biso:
Crashes

i am getting system crashes more often now dont now why but maybe since i switched ti interactive. the system crash in gallery. but i can see a pattern. if i am in an app like face book or whatsapp that have a picture or video and it calls gallery to view the video. while viewing, rotate screen couple of time, then when viewing the file ends the gallery crashes to a black screen and the phone freezes with black screen and touch button lit on all the time. had to do hard reboot.

anybody having this?
[Galaxy S II General] slushee:
Check out the OP in the "what doesn't work" section. You will read about videos being brought up by the gallery causing reboots or forced closures.

Sounds like this may apply to you. There is a fix posted there as well.
[Galaxy S II General] sandhu6698:
Waiting for KITKAT 4.4 Version ..When it be released ???
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
When our new kernel is fixed. It currently reboots very frequently with the latest builds and isn't up to par. I will post in all of my threads when it's ready, but I do not suspect it will be very soon.

I run a build a day to test the new changes but the kernel hasn't been touched in over a month. I'm hoping it will get done soon.
[Galaxy S II General] EvilDan:
Question for those using this rom...

How long your battery lasts on standby ?

For my part I get around 100 hours (about 4 days).

I'm using greenify on almost all apps and everything is turned off.

I used an app to see what is using my battery and I have no apps that drains it, most of the power is used by radio signal while on standby.

I'm asking because I'm using a 2500mAh battery I got on ebay and I suspect its not a very good battery...
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
Don't ask for ETAs.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Apparently there are no changes in the kernel from cm-10.2 to cm11 on what I was told last night as I was making changes to our kernel for Lightning Zap! Thomas said if you have a working cm-10.2 kernel, then you already have a working cm-11. I'm sorry I'm unable to elaborate more.

New kernel is being built as we speak. I haven't started building just the kernel, so it will be part of a complete build. A new build our phone hasn't seen the likes of before!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Unfortunately, that is changing. Steve is back porting kernel changes from the 3.4.y kernel so that we can use the media-caf instead of legacy media. The changes to the frameworks and other have made it not possible for us to build on the old kernel anymore. I tried and got many errors. I suppose I'll try again and try to work through those errors this time since I really want to get out an updated version of cm-11.0 out with the vib fix and all other updates.

Thanks for the nudge [MENTION=3478918]rukusx7[/MENTION]. Also, if you check out the "next" branch in my kernel repo, you'll see what Steve has committed to it. There were two merges with a bunch of commits. They so far mostly had to do with zram and zsmalloc I think, but there may have been others. I'll have to double check.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Guess what, I didn't even realize it, but the new weather panel has already been back ported. Just tap on the weather on your lockscreen to get the 5 day forecast ;) you can also place this widget on your Homescreen, but you still need to tap on it to see the 5 day forecast.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
OK my intended build failed. Back to cm-10.2 build. If it works, maybe titanic_fanatic could do builds with and without. If you are interested Tf.

CYANOGEN GO Launcher EX Theme

I am unable to change the theme, using "System Settings -> Themes". I installed the CYANOGEN GO Launcher EX Theme and nothing shows up but the "System" theme, anybody offer advice on what I'm doing wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] :
That's a go theme fir go launcher. Not a CM theme. ;)

Sent from my Moto X cellular telephone...
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
To supply a go launcher ex theme, from your Homescreen, press menu and then tap on themes. This will take you to the theme store for go launcher and if you Swype to the left twice, you'll see the installed themes and can apply it from there. If you don't see the theme in the installed themes in the go store, you can search for the apk with a file manager (in /data/app) and click on it and let the system manually install it. Done go launcher themes don't appear fur to the way the play store installs them. Manually installing should get you around this and because you have root, there's no need to contact the developer to get them to send you the apk since you can access it with root ;)
[Galaxy S II General] :
The i757m isn't alone with bln and vibration issues. The t989 has had those issues on and off, depending on kernels and roms, since 4.2.2 was brought to our phone.

Not sure this post is useful....just thought I'd let you know they're flakey on that S2 also.....beyond official 4.1.2 anyway. ;)

Is next release planned?

First of all, fantastic work titanic_fanatic and members of the dev team!

I've read all the 8 pages of this thread this morning and it seems there's a lot of new fixes to apply once the ROM is flashed. Are you planning a new release soon with all the latest fixes.

Kinda hard right now to follow which fixes to apply or not since there's been a lot of developpement this week.

If no release is planned right now maybe just some updated instructions on the 1st post of the thread on what tweaks/fixes/shared objects to use would be neat.

Thanks and keep on the good work. I'm really impressed!
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'm not overly sure on any of my fixes. I've had discrepant results. The only constant I've had is since I've changed to MDP for composition, I've experienced no glitch or overlay issues. Lock screen blanking issues still present.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Welcome ;) The xda download is being updated as we speak, should be done in 20 mins. The link to download from androidfilehost.com has already been updated. The additions are the fix to the build.prop to fix the red border, added 91fixoverlays and 92disablemediascanner to /system/etc/init.d.

Video overlays work out of the box, but we still need to disable HW Overlays in developer options to stop screen flicker. That's what the 91fixoverlays script is for ;)

Last thing added to the download is the right sensors file, so sensors should now work out of the box.

Oh, and I almost forgot, the gps.conf has been tweaked to try and get a faster lock and to use more satellites to get that lock. Works pretty fast if you have your Wi-Fi on even if your not connected to Wi-Fi.
[Galaxy S II General] microcontroleur:
Shaweeet!! Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] manfromgta:
Hey T.F. Great job thus far. I'm quite impressed.

*****DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! IT'S JUST AN IDEA....BUT COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE*****

At Christmas my daughter is getting a tablet. (She's 5) Right now she uses our i757m for games, Netflix and movies.

I'm thinking once she doesn't need the S2....I'm gonna be bold and try flashing a t989 rom on it. The devices are so very similar in hardware....down to even the capacitive keys. Same ram, cpu. Extremely curious if it would even boot. And if so, what glitches there may be.

Yes.....soft brick is likely...no biggie. Hard brick maybe. LOL. Well, I am not too bothered by that. Best case...it boots...maybe with some glitches. But maybe they could get ironed out.

Man....the t989 has a lot of support still...and tonnes of roms. Maybe this has been attempted and failed, but I haven't heard of it. ;)

I'd have to use the i757 radio I'm sure. And maybe an i757 kernel....not sure if a stand alone kernel exists. I know the t989 and skyrocket roms are interchangeable, but usually you flash a kernel over it made for your phone. And rotation can be an issue too. Tho for those devices there are fixes.

Tried it and got a assert failed getprop ro.product.device error.. Lol.
[Galaxy S II General] TheCrazyDirectioner:
This is the best thing that I have seen all month. Seriously, the internet owes you.

I've tried a flash and everything went smoothly. Phone booted up perfectly and lovely new CyanogenMod setup screen went through. As a daily driver for half the people out there I'd say it's pretty much usable. Most of the things work, the screen bug isn't that annoying once you get used to it. I haven't seen the gallery bug so besides the screen issue the internal memory is a bit slow for read/write. Not sure if I'm the only one with the problem. I'm still trying it out though so I'll report back soon.

The only thing that annoys me though is music on the external SD card not dealing with Apollo or Play Music very well. Apollo only detects songs half of the time after rebooting, and when it does, it always only detects the songs on the internal memory. Play Music works all the time but again only detects songs from internal memory. With other players like Rocket Music Player, it all works fine. I just like using Apollo and Play Music cause of the UI but that's just me. If you don't use your phone 95% of the time for music like me or can live with a different 3rd party music player you're good.
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
I have a lot of audio on an external sd card, I haven't had any problems detecting files. Did you get the patched version of the ROM? It has Media Scanner disabled, maybe re-enabling the scanner and letting it run would help?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
[MENTION=5411569]formercontra[/MENTION] has a point, you could try moving 92disablemediascanner outside of the /system/etc/init.d folder, reboot and let the Media Scanner run for a while. You won't visually see that it's running, but it will run for a while depending on the size and used space on your sdcard. I would let it run for about an hour, then you can put the script back into the init.d folder and reboot. Then try the music players.

I'll try adding my tracks to my external for testing as mine are all on internal and I haven't had any problems there, but I'm also using poweramp and it manages media lists on its own so I do not believe that it will experience issues. I'll try with play music.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
This is due to protection in the zip files to ensure you don't do what you just tried to do :P The assert commands either need to be removed or changed to match our device to try that, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are willing to accept a brick. I couldn't tell you for certain that it would brick the device, but as a rule, I would simply expect it if flashing a ROM for another device. The assert choices are in the updater script inside the zip.

Also, to everyone... NEVER EVER FLASH A RECOVERY INTENDED FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE. That is only asking for trouble. This is your bootloader and if it gets messed up, device is bricked.

Anyways, sorry for the rant, just wanted to make it clear and share some knowledge ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Just dirty flashes the new zip over whatever mess I has going on. Works great! Thank you!

Some good news about cm-11. My latest build is running petty smooth. It's built without patches and without media-caf. So far no reboots and have been running it for a couple of hours.
