Almost there

Still trying nightlies for testing and this ROM is at it's most stable point since the 4.4 builds started. Slowly but surely standard features are getting added. Once CM fixes the camera we should start seeing RCs soon. In case anybody ask, video recording is not working as of yet.

Anyone that wants to try the UBER kernel with this ROM they get along just fine. In fact I'd say at this point anybody that can wait for the camera this ROM is at the point it can be used as a DD. Especially if you don't need any add-ons like active display, etc. The dialer issue is long fixed too.

BTW do yourself a favor and don't run ART, it just plain isn't necessary and causes more problems than it solves. Speed is no issue here.

Edit: GPS accuracy is off a bit off I just noticed. It's showing my location several blocks away from where I actually am. Tried a few GPS tweaks to see if it would help and no go on that. We're still getting there!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] arusiasotto:
My camera works fine, Video recording suffers from a 3 second delay before start. Also been running ART since alpha. Make sure to grab the PA Gapps to be compatible. My GPS has me in the right spot. It just shows me pointed in the wrong direction. Seeming random ones at that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah I used the right Gapps, and ART does work on this particular ROM. However it creates problems later when you switch to another ROM by creating that massive load of files in the Lost+Found folder. People have that happen and then have no idea why there internal storage is eaten up and files won't download from Play. Also I honestly see zero difference in speed or function so why have the aggravation?

On GPS your experience is different from mine but at any rate I'm back to Beanstalk which is my DD. Like I said, CM11 is way ahead of where it was I first tried it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jon4248:
My camera only records right when set to 720p. 1080p the recordings have funny lines.

Using it nightly 14jan.... Working good.. I think it has some serious network signals problem, automatically comes to emergency.... Mp4 gallery reboot problem, you guys should work on the problem because there are very less program video formats supporting on the stock/cm android....

Please be considerate toward those that are less literate. He's running the Jan. 14 nightly, he is experiencing the gallery FC glitch (please search the forum, it has been a known issue for a very long time) and his phone randomly stops recognizing his SIM card.

I encountered the SIM card issue as well but i needed to place a call so i rebooted and didn't have time to snag a logcat. I'll get one if it happens again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iamdofus:

Is anyone still having the problem when you try to play games that the screen is just black?

I'm currently still having this issue with any high end games, for example asphalt 8 and csr racing :banghead:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Andrw0830:
I have the same problem with Subway Surfers. So far the only solution is to install an earlier version of the said games, at least that what fixes Subway Surfers. If you google it, there is a ticket on jira which mentions about it and I recently just provide a logcat about it. It will help if you post a logcat yourself on either a new ticket mentioning those games or just update the Subway Surfers one as the issue is most likely the same.

Edit: Here is the link to the subway surfers ticket which I posted the logcat https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1686, there is another ticket here https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1680 about black screen in other games. Vote for the issue and it should be assigned to someone to diagnose the problem and fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JB910:
I flashed the RC1 of the "rom that is not to be spoke of on xda" and it has ran flawlessly all day. Even the screen record works perfectly. It does have the issue of only being able to record at 720p though. I am sure the CM team will resolve that soon enough, thanks again for your work as we all know it is the base for all of our 4.4 roms that keep our devices current.

Why no more nightlies coming after 14 Jan?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
What makes you say that? There wasn't a nightly last night but you gotta think these guys deserve a break every now & then. Anyway a huge list of changes are coming with the next build that will make a difference to say the least: http://www.cmxlog.com/11/hercules/

Yeah, I could not get the lastest nightly to boot. I didn't even get to the CM logo. I had to restore my backup. When I have more time I will try to do a clean flash, but updating the ROM through CM updater did not work. Tried again with manually selecting the update, with no luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crazydude10:
No problem in dirty flashing 17 nightly, however Wi-Fi hotspot seems to be broken again.

And reactivating xposed installer after new nightly installation always seems to end in bootloop which is only resolved after dirty flashing the nightly again. using super su if that matters.

Secondary confirmation of boot loop (on 18 jan though. Haven't tried 17).

Also coming from 14 Jan, however I'm using the supplied CWM from TeamChopsticks.

Flashing back to 14 Jan fixes the boot loop.

Amazing work TC. I have a question though for you guys, did anyone lose the ability to send MMS without having to turn on Data by yourself? It used to automatically turn the data when I receive/send MMS...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crazydude10:
On 18th nightly :

Issue 1:

The known gallery issue causes extra problems - Now opening gallery with malformed MP4 files which causes reboot, will make apps disappear from launcher on reboot (not necessararily apps which are installed to SD card.). Observed this disappearence with Supersu and TiBu. Normal reboot does not cause apps to disappear from launcher.

Clean install.

TWRP 2.6.1.0

Dalvik Runtime

No GApps

Surprisingly, the above issue does not occur, if I clean install 29 - Dec nightly , reboot to system , and then dirty flash 18-Jan Nightly.

EDIT : The problem occurs whenever rom crashes and reboots, and this issue even seems to happen with nightlies as old as 29 - Dec, upon clean flashing.

Issue 2:

Xposed installer seems to be broken right from at least 13 - Jan - Nightly. Causes bootloop even on clean ROM flash. (Using Dalvik Runtime)

Edit :

The problem was actually with super su, xposed seems to work fine with superuser built into ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
You are not alone. All nightlies past January 14th seem to bootloop for me. This after countless nightly flashes without a hitch. The forum was strangely quiet on this, so I thought my phone is crapping out.

EDIT: TWRP 2.6.1.0 and TWRP 2.6.3.0, both are no go. My phone is flashed with CM11 and the January KitKat Gapps. Nothing else. I am going back to the January 14th nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobiscool07:
Yeah, I get the same thing. Not sure how a log cat would be taken is it doesn't even boot to the Samsung logo that comes before the CM logo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bfldworker:
I don't know if this will help or not.

When I flashed from Jan 19 to Jan 20 all my WiFI hotspot list disappeared and I had to reload it from Wifi Connection manager. I also have had on and off issues with the phone rebooting when trying to view a picture in the gallery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:

I've dirty flashed the 1-18, 1-19, 1-20, 1-21, and the 1-22 versions with zero problems. Have a t989 using Uber, twrp 2.6.1.0 and kk20131111 gapps.

Edit: switched to Jan 5th, 2014 gapps. Working fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
Tried every nightly past January 14, resulting in a bootloop every time. T989D, Google GApps from January 2014. TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
I wonder of these newer builds have done something to our recoveries??? Is thee something in twrp that I can change to fix the issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iamdofus:
Oh I got it, even I have t989d, and its not working for me also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Charwinger21:
So, it would appear that something that changed in the Jan 17th build broke the build for the T989D but not for the T989.

Specifically it appears to be causing bootloops before even getting to the Cyanogenmod boot screen.

I don't know if we can create a logcat for this issue. I've never actually created one before, however what I've read so far would indicate that we would need to get to the Cyanogenmod boot screen for it to work.

I have not yet tried a clean flash of the new builds, however dirty flashing is not working for me.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attempt a clean flash personally until the end of the weekend. If someone else who has a T989D wants to try it first I would be very thankful for the help in diagnosing this problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] technoid1964:
FYI, i727 Skyrocket S II LTE has same problem... Started on 18th build, weird thing is, not all i727's have the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Edwardayy:
Don't know if this has been resolved somewhere in the thread yet but... I have a problem.

Whenever I open any app that uses the gallery (wallpapers, realplayer cloud, google+ photos) the phone freezes then reboots. Its an annoying problem. I tried wiping everything, even the internal sd card. The problem is still there.

Anyone care to help me out with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iamdofus:
That is quite old problem, that`s becuase you have .mp4 in your gallery.... you should install that rom again after deleting all your mp4( even that video files you have recorded even with old roms) and it would be better if you install the rom after wiping with infamous super wipe and cache script.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pipesdl:
I have done clean installs on T989D with a few of the builds since the 14. Results are the same, black screen before the cyanogen logo. The odd time I'll see a quick flash of random lines at the top of the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Edwardayy:
Thank you! So with Kit kat nightlies I can't have any .mp4 files on my phone? Or are we waiting on a fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
No you can have mp4s on your phone but not in the gallery. Move them to a separate folder, add a new file labeled .nomedia then rescan for media. This should stop them from ending up in the gallery app. Watch your mp4s with a video app that doesn't use the gallary. I use mobo player. I think qq player is good for this also.

This is an old issue, if you search ROMs back to 4.3 you will see this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxthe:

T989D - logcat attacked

Has anyone with a S2 T989D been able to boot a CM nightly past 2014-01-17?

I just tried using 24th nightly build, and it just boot loops - tried after a full wipe, screen usually flickers when the boot animation should be showing then reboots, one time is actually showed the animation and it moved off screen to right side before it went into boot loop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iamdofus:
bootloops started after 14jan nightly, only with t989D. thanks for logcat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
I have a T989 and it does the same thing as yours. I believe it has something to do with when I bought my phone it came with GB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JB910:
Did you flash the nightly straight from your GB build? You need a jelly bean radio for 4.4 roms to install correctly. Odin to stock 4.1.2, root, then try to flash a 4.4 rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Nah I've been running jelly bean since it started and then kitkat for a while as well... But anything lately does not boot for me anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JB910:
I am now running the RC2 of the rom that is not allowed to be mentioned. Zero issues besides mp4 in gallery reboot. Just moved them to a different folder and use mx player to watch them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Well you're special to have a secret ROM. Lol. That's pretty cool.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JB910:
Def not a secret rom. The forum moderator will shut stuff down if it is mentioned in the thread by name. Just google "banned by xda" and you'll figure it out. Rom is on goo.

Updated from 20th to 27th nightly and noticed a couple changes:

- There is only one launcher to select from, previously there were two (this may have changed a while back and I just missed it!!)

- I can't get Google Now as one of my homescreens

- When selecting settings under the homescreen (same place where you change wallpaper and add widgets), it used to take you to Google Now settings, now it takes you to launcher settings.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Sounds like the Google home launcher is out of CM then. You can find it on XDA and reinstall it manually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pipesdl:
No issues with the latest build, thank you devs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Charwinger21:
It was a part of CM?

I thought it had to be installed through GAPPs because it is proprietary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
No, the CM team brought it in to CM11 but I don't think it got over very much with users so they chose to debloat and get rid of it I guess. I tried it a while back, it's just too void of features like you find in launchers like Nova and uses too much RAM for what it offers. Just my opinion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
The Google launcher was actually part of the gapps package, the launcher was removed from the latest gapps(signed), if you really want the launcher just download from playstore or grab it from inside this gapps package, it's called GoogleHome.apk.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
Are you on the latest nightly?

Did you do a clean install, or flash over a previous version of the ROM?

Have you updated the phones firmware using Odin or Kies?

Have you tried clearing caches in recovery?

Are you using the latest recovery available, per the OP?

I would start with making sure you're on the latest, recommended recovery, then clearing caches. Still no good, move on to a full wipe and clean install (check operation before setting your phone up and installing apps). If that doesn't do it, then use Odin or Kies to return to the latest stock version, then do a clean flash again.

If nobody else is reporting your issue, then it's likely something you did wrong, or there's something wrong with your phone or phone setup (flashed mods or tweaks, etc.).

Good luck.
