First of all.. This is the best ROM I have ever ran on my S2. Well done!!!.. I just have one problem/question. Ive been using it since its first release and somehow it's taking up to 7 hours to fully charge it. I was wondering if that's a ROM / Kernel or its a phone problem. Is anyone else having the same problem?

I havent changed kernel nor have played with I/O - Processor settings. Phone was also heating up badly till I changed its modem to KH3. It's still far from perfect but battery is not draining like it was before.. im able to have 7 hours with medium usage... It's just taking forever to charge up and its really bugging me. I would appreciate if anyone could advise me on that.

Cheers

After installing (clean install) the last build the calendar did not appear under my google account and did not sync. i had to delete the calendar odexed from the system and installed google calendar from play store and that fixed the problem. anyone else faced this problem?

how to u guys make gravity box to work? i get "gravitybox system framework not responding" all other modyles of xposed work great
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 089man:
Gravity box here work. Take the right version... Kitkat not jb version.

Read the instructions in module and ask in the gravity thread how solve your issue with it.

guys... what's the difference between Linaro version and Unofficial version?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Wurschtbrod:
Same here, not so much drain, but 10% per hour taken by google+. In Privacy Guard i unchecked google+ right to keep active. That helped in the first step. Now BetterBatteryStats sees a partial wakelock called "fingerprint_scanner_local" wich seems to be a part of google+ that keeps my system awake. So i checked this wakelock in the Wakelock Blocker.

Lets see, if this helps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
fix it the same way i did if u didn't yet
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leoarten:
So what do you reckon? Could this be a Rom or Kernel issue then?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] strictly#:
Have you turned off Google Now ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
what kernel do u use?

my phone charges normally with stock kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leoarten:
I'm with stock kernel.. I've been flashing Roms for awhile. I literally have formated the entire phone.. installed CWM again.. cleaned everything and installed the rom. I haven't change any settings regarding performance... This is the first rom I'm having problems charging with... It just takes forever!! and sometimes if i use it while charging the battery actually discharge instead.. I was hoping someone could help me with a fix cuz I really didnt want to change ROM. Even tho this is a nightly is one of the most stable ROM's I have ever used.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 089man:
Fix or solution is:

Buy a new battery. I think this is your issue and not this rom. Here all OK. Battery charge normal.

Or your charging module in your device is bad.....

I've changed batteries not long ago.. and have just tested... installed a new rom and bettery is charging in 2 hours or less.. I guess it's bad luck then
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
You are right abt this rom. It's the most stable and faster kitkat rom without any real bugs at daily use.

In your place i would install hawker's nuke (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2100558) and then reinstall the rom.

It should charge like any other rom.

maybe u can wipe battery stats but i believe in reinstalling the rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leoarten:
cheers mate. Will try that.. I always wipe battery stats when i install a new Version/Rom.. guess it must be a buggy script somewhere within the phone that is causing that... Should I install CWM again after using this wipe script?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
no.

but after installing the nuke u may not find the rom.zip on your internal card. if it happens go to advance and reboot into recovery then flash the rom

Camera / USB problems

Hi,

I have got still same issues in all versions of KitKat roms. At the first I did all necessary steps before installing KK rom including wiping and KK CWM. But there is not still option for camera to save content into external SD card (I want to have it included i dont wanna use external tools like Xposed) next bug but more anoying one is when I connect my phone via USB in windows no USB device is connected I mean I dont see my internel or external card. Anyway great progress almost everything is working correctly. Just Camera to SD and USB mass storage are not working correctly for me. But there is a reason to call these builds "Nightly" :D :cowboy:

Best stable and customizable 4.4 ROM. :good:

There's one problem that I came across. I hope you know that there's a separate storage for apps (2gb) and separate storage for other media files (11gb) in GT i9100. When I install an app to app storage (2gb), space in other storage (11gb) also gets reduced. Ultimately I get an error saying "insufficient space". Is this a bug/feature in kit-kat or in this rom? :(

[Galaxy S II Android Development] helppme:
Hey. I was wondering the same thing. I can see Linaro is an open source developer community for ARM. However, what does this mean regards to this ROM?

I have installed the Linaro Version. How, specifically, does this differ from the 'Unnoficial' version of Pound listed in the download links?

I'm guessing the kernel is tweaked for power management with the ARM CPU and thats about it, but this is just a wild guess!!

cheers.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
insufficien space has nothing to do with the rom and it isn't a bug. it's because of too small ram on sgs2.

the solution is to repartition the internal card and to enlarge the internal memory.

I'm still having problems after a full wipe on the latest build. I'm still on most occasions getting the 'SD removed unexpectedly' notification after I wake my phone up by pressing the home button and it sends the media scanner into a constant scan and stops showing my external SD pics in the Gallery... This is getting really tedious now, please can someone give me a solution to this extremely irritating issue I'm constantly facing? :banghead:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] helppme:
Granted it was not with this rom. But with an ICS custom ROM I had the same and similar issues with internal and external SD mounts not recognising properly. The only solution I found was flashing back to completely stock, stock kernel, stock ROM, no root access. Everything worked perfect.

I then used the Philz kernel, to get root access on stock rom. Everything still worked perfect but now with Root.

I then went to CWM recovery, flashed newest version of Recovery (ready for kitkat), then did a full wipe install of the linaro latest version of this ROM. Everything worked faultlessly.

So. I would suggest going back to stock, get it all working again, then do a full wipe install. SD card issues seem a real pain in the A with the S2...

Afaik Mass Storage is normally turned off in KitKat, but you can enable it yourself. Just start a terminal windows and type

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage

reboot

when the reboot is done you have your mass storage behavior back

Thanks for all your hardwork.

What does this actually mean? I thought the international S2 (i9100) were all the same???

My phone 'seems' to charge and work ok, but it does get warm. Is there a 'best' kernel that will have the features enabled to work well with this ROM without causing problems. I'm in UK. I have always found swapping kernels tends to make the phone/ROM less stable, than using the kernel packaged with the ROM.

Just for clarification. Im thinking of trying Apolo Kernel and when going to download folder on their thread I see theres lot of different options.. I just got a bit confused and don't want to brick my phone by installing the wrong one. what version should I download?

BETA KITKAT (ANDROID 4.4) / CM ROMS / NEW MALI DRIVERS V3 / APOLO_7.0_R3P2_S3FB_BETA1_EXTRV2-CWM.ZIP ?

Is that correct?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rachid.Ala:
Choose the regular version instead

Read the apolo kernel post to understand the différences between regular and extrv2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] evildave_666:
There are minor hardware differences between the i9100 and the Japanese and Korean versions. The Japanese version requires GPS tweaks but there is a cwm-flashable zip that can be applied after install of any cm10/11 ROM for the i9100 that applies the tweaks. Partitioning is also a little different (100mb stolen from hidden and added to system). There are also (different) tweaks for the 3 Korean models.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] helppme:
I flashed the gustav standard cm11 kernel today (the alternative recommended in the original Pound Rom post, and my phone has been cooler since. I'm not sure about temps when charging , will find out a bit later.

I read earlier this is because of kernel tweaks made specifically for Korean S2 variant. You should just try another kernel that works for you.

I've changed to Gustavo kernel & I have changed my modem to XLPS version. I still have the same problem you describe so I think it must be ROM or CM11 Kernel specific.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Squatrack Curler:
If you already have the ROM installed and want to flash a new kernel, you will not lose any data.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mosespl:
What ver of android you have? If you have already pound rom and want to upgrade you need only install new rom via cwm and wipe dalvik and cache only. After new rom installed you can install via cwm for eg gustavo kernel and you dont lose your data. If you do clean install everythink erase. Changing Kernel never wipe anything.

The "invisible" percentage is not a bug! You will start seeing percentages when your battery gets below 50%, because Google decided to share the same white color for both. I think it's really great solution.

can anyone help me please :(

[Galaxy S II Android Development] zekenka:
Installed the rom yesterday evening and it seems okay sofar...

Ofcourse since the setup was kinda unclear and not so familiar with me I flashed it over with 3 times atleast

The installation procedure i followed was(coming from slimbean 10.2):

1. Format/cache/dalvik

2. G2S Hawker rom Nuke

3. flash rom

4. reboot

Everything seems really nice except when entering SIM pin the characters have 50% display so it means somekind of bug/glitch with the graphics but other than that they work and its fine.

What works so far:

* GPS - tryed WAZE and MAPS, both seem to lock in even without gps.conf to your region(I did that for even better results)

*Google play - at 1st didnt let me install anything but then after sometime fiddeling with it all apps so far i have installed work fine

*QR barcode

*BBS -new RC15.0

Swype - AOSP or default keyboard doesnt allow you to swype it crashes but the app Swype works atleast ;)

Gmail

Speedtest

All in all I would say it is good for day to day usage. Battery life seems okay, its charging havent noticed if its better or worse, but atm seems slightly better.

Everything is really smooth and clean, i think in future we will have a lot of customization options to make the rom more personal etc.

Right now good for daily drive 4/5 for this piece.
