root access

Am I the only one that can't get root access R/W with ES File Explorer? I'm trying to put CMFileManager.apk as a system app, but when I try to turn on root access feature in ES File Explorer it says "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your device"?

I want to try to get CMFileManager.apk work as a system app because if I try to install it manually it says "The app was not installed"... I have this app extracted from the latest build of this ROM.

Also there is problem with gesture typing in keyboard. When you try to slide through the letters the keyboard hides. But this is the smallest problem...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lion0738:
idc, but .....

I'm sorry to say this, I am going to change my device really soon :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brack11:
Thanks but there's simpler way, I just reflashed the ROM without cleaning data, and everything works.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] midgardian:

Sorry for possibly stupid question, but i'm a bit confused...

Have you updated the last build with the feature or it was already included? I flashed the linaro version and that option is missing?! And on the download list the date of the upload is 13.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lion0738:

I have I9100XXLS8 with 4.4.2 Linaro Pound. So what is the next step? Install new kernel with CWM then again Linaro Pund Rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
I9100XXLS8 is android 4.1.2. u can not have them both.

go to syatem setting, about phone and check what version of android u have. let us know
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mirceapuy:
Android version 4.4.2. Let me tell you how i installed everything. Flashed with odin I9100XXLS8 then installed a new version of CWM so i can install Pound Rom then flashed this Rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pilaf:
ART didn't work.. Bootloop..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mimoro:
Hello

I have read all about these and other kitkat roms. Now I have a few days ago decided to use this rom. He works really well and am happy with it. I understand now that this rom update no more? If so can I as an amateur then better take another rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] helppme:
OK so you have:

1: done a full fresh install (full ROM XXLS8) via ODIN

2: You have flashed new CWM version to get to version 6.0.45 + ready for 4.4.2.

In that case you should:

3: Flash Pound ROM using CWM. Do this as FULL wipe, fresh install.

4: Check Pound ROM working ok, stable.

5: Place your preferred Kernel on you External SD card. (this must be a CM11 Kernel supporting the features in POUND ROM) I'm using Gustavo and it works well.

6: Flash your new kernel using CWM. Wipe cache & Dalvik cache. full wipe, factory reset is NOT necessary.

7: Reboot.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

This ROM has very few bugs and is probably the most stable CM11 based ROM. I would say stick with this ROM until a complete CM11 build is released (it is in beta at moment).

Even though lion may not be fully supporting much longer, you will still struggle to find a more stable 4.4.2 for i9100..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mirceapuy:
1.Yes

2. Yes

3. I already did this when i installed Pound so i must do this again?

4. The rom is working and stable

5.

6. This means, the new kernel must be flashed over Pound Rom?

Btw, which version of Gustavo kernel do i must download for this Rom?

Thanks for your quick response helppme. I'll stick with this Rom I'm satisfied with it :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] helppme:
3. No you don't need to do it again.

4. Great :)

6. Yes. The Pound ROM zip file is made up of the ROM, a modem, and a specific Kernel that works well with the ROM, however the Kernel has been optimised for the Korean i9100..... so, it might be better for you to flash an alternative kernel.

If you flash ONLY a kernel.zip over the top of the Pound ROM it will only replace the Kernel, and leave the ROM alone..

You want to download the Gustavo kernel: CM11 07 12 CWM.

hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mirceapuy:
Great, thank you helppme, you have been so helpful. Cheers.

LE: Done, no problems. I hope the phone will not getting warm so fast.

Btw, this rom is the best, even if it will not be supported much longer, is so stable and smooth and i dont think i will change this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] megamarco83:
hi!

i have installed this rom...but BLN on my device is not working :(

i try to explain better: when i use "test bln" on teaks setting and i swich off my screen (pressing lateral button) the softkeys is light on, so BLN in this case is working perfect; but, when i receive a notification ( SMS or a whatsapp message, or a mail...) the softkeys is NOT light on...so BLN is not working!

someone knows why? what's wrong?

THANKS to all
[Galaxy S II Android Development] helppme:
no worries feel free to click thanks ;) but the credit really goes to the ROM developers.

I have been using this Gustavo kernel and ROM combination for 36 hours. Today I have 19h 30mins uptime, with 1h15 mins of screen time and still got over 50% battery left! The phone no longer gets warm when charging.

It does seem to get a little warm when using wifi but its very minor and I think is no different from stock. If I find a better Kernel I will post back!

What is your stweaks settings?.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
I am using Pound Rom for 2 weeks now and have to admit that I really love it. Very stable, very fast, very everything. Nevertheless yesterday evening I noticed that the performance of video shooting is some not as good as expected. Even if I reduce the quality to 1280 i can notice some dropped frames during faster moves etc. Is there any way to improve this? I am using unofficial version with stock kernel, no stweak settings.

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rtorres0106:
did you receive a message when the phone screen is off, normally for me it lits only when having a message during screen off and I think this is the behavior of BLN.

Look at these screenshots. Why is my internal storage only 200+ MB free?? :(:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
Check your Lost + Found folder under /data/app and if you find any crap there (what I expect), remove it with any file manager that is able to act as root and mount the partition in rw. In future keep an eye on the lost + found folder, if it refills again, this might be an indicator for some problems with the internal flash memory.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nagateja:
My lost+found folder is Empty :(:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rtorres0106:
maybe you are using ART then goes back to dalvik and uninstall any apps without clearing data it happened to me also. I cleans install latest rom and its OK now.

Sorry it happened to me on slimsaber 4.2.2 when try to use ART, Pound rom did not implemented yet the ART so just try clean install maybe that would help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nagateja:
No i didnot switch to ART. I was on Dalvik from the beginning.

Have a look at this screenshot. Is this normal to have .odex files for all the system apks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rtorres0106:
I think ART not yet implemented on this ROM..

Did a clean install again.

And restored my usual set of apps n data using titanium backup and now this is the state.

Will report if the storage goes down in due course of time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
the problem is due to too small ram in sgs2 and too many apps that system installs on internal storage.

the best solution is to repartition the internal disk. go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538947 and chose whatever size of pit file u want.

i have 4gb and since then all my problems with internal memory space have gone.

I used this too. Have take the 4gb pit and works fine with pound rom. But it's not for beginners.. I have Flash with odin the pit and dori kernel, tar version. Than in recovery I must format sd0 because if I restore my nan DROID I become error on Android secure... Restore was not finish there work. Only with format sd and default file system works. Than I can restore my nan DROID fine.

The only cosmetic issues is, on boot I have now the yellow triangle logo.

But I can live with it. All my apps and settings I restore from computer back and all works as before and I have now 4gb ram memory for apps only...

This rom is great, it has everything for the daily rotation! Just one question...why odex the file system? Its annoying, this rom is stupid fast without it, when I used the 12/01 unofficial (DEODEXED) build. Odex is taking up waaaaayy too much space, and cm was made for modding and customization, and with no tool out there really supporting the ability to deodex android 4.4 kitkat, I can't fully deodex it! Only from source build!

Really, the dev should drop it, thats a main reason people switch from their stock rom. But otherwise great work:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gyagapen:

Can you add this to the tile? Also were fine a setting never timeout, like unofficial pac rom by nico60.

In my notification ribon I have a toggle that I can switch from 15 s to 30 minutes. It's an app from playstore.... Take a look to this and the floating window that was open if I push to the screen timeout button

For now you have to disable Mediascanner in dev options because Dori need to fux permissions on Sdcards. Without disable it, phone does'nt go in deep sleep because of Mediascanner Wakelock.
