Here's my proof of my screen time and active usage. Looks like I'll get over 4 hours screen time and 32 hours total.

I've got over 2 hours screen time as you see below already... This time was used paying scrabble and using Chrome...

And of course 60% battery is left and my phone's been for 16 hours without charging.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
4 hours over 24 hours plus is definitely good life. Personally I don't take a lot of stock in overall time.... It's all about screen time at the end of the day really. But still... 4 hours over a day or more is excellent time. I average about 4 over 16 hours.... But as I said... It can be a lot longer or much shorter.... Just depends how quickly I use that 4 hours up. Lol Friday night I charged fully after work and I was dead after 5 hours.... But for 4 of the 5 hours I was surfing. :)

Anyway... Good job!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
It's a bug in this alpha. Has to do with a permissions problem on the storage volumes. I believe the work around is moving the apk manually to the data\app folder.

Stock 4.1.2. I don't see it as apples to oranges, since any rom I've ever used winds up with similar battery life. The steps to get the most out of your battery apply to any rom or Android version. 3 to 4 hours screen time is average no matter what. Aside from gaming. Any less and something is not right. ;)

So i reflashed twrp so i could restore my phone back to 4.1.2 as cwm the one i need to use for this rom failed restoring /system but after I got to twrp i restored from a back up and then it said failed i know data got restored but system started and then after formating /system if failed should i be woried? it started up and everything i've tried is working fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashy10:
This question is sort of not related to this ROM, so that question doesnt really belong here if youre talking about problems running 4.1.2... unless i read that wrong. anyways, it seems it has overwritten the system partition so you should be good. Might be a couple fragments of other roms apps though if i understand your description correctly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cesar124:
I was having an issue with the wifi tethering and I'm on the $30 Walmart plan (5GB of 4G, 100min talk, and unlimited texting), anyways none of the pages wouldn't load on my friend's phone while my phone was sharing wifi and I was pretty much getting pissed why it wouldn't work :mad:. I Googled why it wouldn't work under Kit Kat and found a fix where you edit settings.db (/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/) and added "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0 to the global table and fix permissions with TWRP. Maybe T-Mobile has incorporated some kind of tethering block in Kit Kat? Anyways if someone can make some kind of flashable zip or even integrate it in a newer ROM, that'll be great :good:

Here's the link where I got the info from just in case anyone needs instructions

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
That's not possible. If you format the /system partition, the data is gone. Also, the standard installation script for CM zips includes formatting /system.

Now, what doesn't get wiped automatically by the installation is cache, data and internal storage. If you are dirty flashing nighties and staying with the same ROM version, it's fine not to wipe that (but good practice to at least wipe cache). If you jump from one version to another, say from 4.3 to 4.4 you MUST wipe /data - not necessarily internal storage, but it's a good idea to just factory reset.

We do not recommend or support the usage of TWRP with our Alpha, Nightly or Stable CM11/CM10 builds. However, you need to make sure that whichever recovery you used to run the backup is the one you use the restore it - down the exact version. You will run into problems if you cross versions and recoveries - especially when jumping between 4.3 and 4.2 because of the SELinux file system changes are NOT compatible with each other.

I used cwm to flash cm11 my problem was I didnt like it so before I flash cm11 i made a back up in cwm but that was not restoring I was getting errors so I went back to twrp to restore from a back up but it didnt restore completely after reaching restoring data and formating system it failed so I rebooted and rebooted into my back up fine but should I be woried was my question

Success!

Here's exactly what I did (coming from Shadow Mastery, twrp 2.6.1):

Backup

System wipe, Advanced wipe (everything but internal and micro), darkside superwipe, Advanced wipe sequence again... Wipe wipe wipe.(Freud may have raised an eyebrow about all the wiping but hey... I shi... um uh... flash a lot... stupid joke heh.)

Flash cm11

Flash Bank's standard gapps + extras (originally flashed the core package but wanted to try the standard + all the addons... yum!)

reboot, let settle, sign in ect. test apps ect.(Okay google right?:)) reboot for good luck.

Switch to art and reboot. Takes awhile to 'upgrade' (some good reads out there comparing dalvik vs art)

Apply su workaround from thddude's cm11 linaro thread. (I didnt convert to system app (yet) and I didnt check for root access preworkaround...)

Play.

Something really weird happened on phone. The CM account came back up, just like after first flashing ROM.

I noticed all my apps and data are there. All my settings like default apps and what not were reset...

Very weird behaviour, did this while the screen was off too..

My apps in the Google Play Store: http://goo.gl/ludism
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Relsig:
Maybe a kernel panic. I believe that restarts the phone and wipes some system settings. Did you check for a proc/last_ksmg?

Also, if it was a kernel panic there may be files in data/dontpanic that could help with debugging. Not sure when those files are overwritten though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
Kernel panic is simply a system dump and reboot, it doesn't wipe anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Relsig:
I've seen it happen once, but I think that my settings database was screwy and i had to reflash so the two may be unrelated.

The other options are the recovery (are you using the recommended CWM?), the download (check md5), the flash (reflash), or a serious issue which some logs may help sort.

if it happened while his phone was sleeping it was most likely reset by some means.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
I'm guessing you are commenting about my thread, a commit is a code change that may add/fix/break features/functions of our device.

When a commit is merged here, that means the source code has been updated, that source code is what is used to create the ROMS/builds for our device.

My unofficial build is all based on CM's code, with the latest merged commits at time of build, I also may include a few cherry-picks of open commits that haven't been merged yet.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Relsig:
Not really, sometimes codecs behave weirdly between releases. You could try toggling stagefright in build.prop but that may make other videos behave weirdly. If they work in previous releases its likely (but not certain) that they will work in a later release. You could also try to find a video player that provides its own codecs.

Development has not stopped for our device, in fact car vs driver has been working on a new kernel, and many source code updates have been merged to CM's repo with a few specific for our hardware.

If you really want the lastest available code of CM11 for your device, just use either ThdDude's ROM, it's pure CM11 with only Kernel changed and a few cherry-picks or use my ROM, which again is pure CM with a few cherry-picks (CM code reviews that havent been officially merged yet).

I'm also sure that TC will either update this alpha or just go straight to nightlies soon, my guess is the only reason it has not gone to nightlies yet is because video recording is still not working.

Alpha3 released!

Alpha3 is up. Please head over to http://www.teamchopsticks.org/p/cm110-release-notes.html for download links and instructions.

Changes since alpha2:

new: tap-to-pay support in Google Wallet -- enabled, but may not work. Please test!

fixed: Activating Google Keyboard makes the device unstable (e.g. Back, Search and Menu buttons don't work, Google Keyboard FC's)

fixed: In Settings->About Phone->Status, "Battery Status" says "Not Charging" when plugged into USB.

fixed: LPA audio is disabled

fixed: ART JVM could not be selected without causing massive FC's -- NOTE: When switching to ART, the next reboot can take up to 10 minutes!

Google Wallet: We enabled tap-to-pay support for Google Wallet but are unsure if it actually works. I couldn't get it working at the one CVS store I tried my Skyrocket in, so please test and give feedback.

New gapps required: Even if you are upgrading from a previous alpha, please format /system and flash the gapps listed in the release notes (step #5). This is important if you want to try out the new ART JVM.

ART is enabled, but beware: The new ART JVM is apparently a work-in-progress and we suggest that you stick with DALVIK. ART causes problems with some Play Store apps and may cause other random behavior. Also, after enabling ART, the next reboot can take ~10 mins. Anyway, no support from us if you try out ART!

Encrypting phone breaks cell service

I reported this back under Alpha 2 and tried Alpha 3 yesterday, again everything was working dandy till I encrypted the system so I could connect to my work Exchange server and from then on I get no Cell connection at all.

I did a backup before I encrypted so I restored it and cell service under Alpha 3 is back working again.

One other issue I've noticed (I'm using Launcher not Launcher3) is that when I moved some big applications to SDCARD they do move correctly although I had a few RRs during the process (I have about 10 I move) and 1 in particular, DirecTV, would not move (it RRs and it not moved after the reboot), but the ones that DO move don't show up in folders on the Launcher after a reboot. It looks like Launcher may be starting before the SDCARD is fully checked/up.

Other than these issues for me Alpha 3 was working pretty well, other than a few FCs of the Market on the first few boots.

Thanks,

Marc

Alpha 3 seems to be having issues sending SMS to the chase mobile banking number (24273). It sends SMS fine to normal numbers.

Alpha 2 had no issues. Generally I would receive a message "this text could cost money" but in a3 the phone app crashes before the popup (several times, consecutively) causing me to lose data connection until the process restarts (which doesn't take long).

I checked md5s, I'm using the recommended recovery, the recommended GApps and i always clean flash (except on nightlies). I tried reflashing but its still an issue.

It could also be gapps related (I used recommended version for a2 and switched to the newly recommended version for a3)
