It's actually that they keep coming back! I clear notifications and the next time a new notification (of any type) pops up, all the old downloads reappear. Odd and irritating. These screenshots show that I downloaded some stuff yesterday (I cleared the notifications) yet today there they are again. :/

Note: this continues to happen even after reboot and even after the downloaded file has been deleted!

Note 2: This is from my tablet with CM 10.2 but it also occurs on my phone which is running this ROM. Do you need to see phone screenshots? Sorry, I should have posted from the phone...

Note 3: Oops!!! I'm actually not running this ROM on my phone right now. I forgot I'd reverted to Cooked to try to improve battery life. I think I shouldn't have bought a cheap battery when mine went bad. :( I can't get more than a couple hours of screen on.

Anyway, now I realize it has to be something else causing this. Does the launcher effect notifications? I use Next launcher. Sorry for posting this in your thread since it is clearly independent of ROM.

Note 4: In case anyone is interested, it's not the Next launcher. It has to be the downloads program, but isn't that part of system, hence the ROM? So confused...

If you get that theme up and running my son would love that if it could be ported to the LG l38c. Unfortunately that is the phone he has at the moment. I rooted it before it was passed down so its half way there. NOT a well supported device though. Surprising since there seem to be alot of them out there because they are cheap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
LOL its all good. I will let it slide this time ;) I have never seen or heard of this happening before. Also Cook's roms are amazing btw and surprisingly lightweight. But it has to be a program you have downloaded on both the tablet and the phone. Are you using a program top manage your downloads?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Most likely its due to some hardware limitation or with holding some source. That and no maintainers are the main reasons for no Dev support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
Once I fully learn how to port and eventually get all the resources I'll try and setup a Juggalo Dev team or a resource team I've seen a few around this forum and I think if we all work at it it could be nice I already have icons and bootscreen and other various imgs,sounds and resources but I would like it to be a derivative of Renders work ... Nothing would have been possible for me if it wasn't for Mr.cook and Render they are sort of showing me the ropes unknowingly well render does know I wanna learn ...I feel like I give off that thirsty for knowledge vibe :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rklatte:
I had the exact same behavior when I turned off the "Downloads" startup process (used system tuner for this but there are other apps to do the same thing, like autostarts). I had to re-enable that in order for the downloads notifications to clear without coming back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trevor.bman:
I also had some type of situation but with text msg and hangouts the msgs were going in to stock messenger and staying as unread I had to disable hangouts then go in to old app clear then reset hangouts as default then it worked normal in hangouts ... My issue was notifications not going away but after messing around a bit figured it out so keep us posted on your fix
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
One thing I would like if it isn't here already is phone turns off when battery is below 20%. I got my new replacement phone about a week ago been running it stock for the week and it automatically turns off when battery is below 20% I have burnt out a couple batteries on my old phone because after rooting and using different Roms that feature seems to be missing. Being the only phone service I have anymore really sucks to find out your phone is dead and wont charge because your battery completely drained.

I Plan on using this rom after the next build

Were glad to help and thank you for letting us know how it went
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I never knew that was a feature. Just so you know I am asking the next question completely calm and am truly curious:

What does it matter if you run the battery completely dead? Do you think it degrades the life of the battery? If so then why not just turn it off when it gets low? I ask since this is important for you then it may be for others. I don't see the application for such but if I could be convinced of its merits I may look further into this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
if the battery in the S2 is completely drained it will no longer charge I will search and find and post some links to this problem I found last month after i killed my second battery. seems it is a common problem thats why on the completely stock phone and rom it turns its self off at 20% or 19% not sure which when you turn in back on its at 19% with a warning to charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rklatte:
Glad that worked. Now I know it's not just me:).

I think it applies to both CM-based and Samsung-based ROMS, saw this behavior on both and same fix worked for both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
A few observations, please:

Regarding the phone shutting down at 20%, I believe that may only be a 959 feature; the original i777 (and i9100, for that matter) never had that... at least, I've never encountered it and I've had the phone since the day it came out. Nor have I ever read anyone here or over in the 9100 forums experiencing this before the introduction of the 959. Seems to me this could be native to the 959, so I think it's important (and may be beneficial to Render and others as they continue to develop for us) for people to know which device in particular they're referring to.

Secondly, I've had the battery drained completely several times, and haven't had any ill effects. It has always charged back up. So again, that could be a difference in devices.

There are some great insights in this thread, so thank you to everyone for contributing.

And david, thank you for your post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IndigoAK:
I don't think the battery is any different between the two devices. I have the ST version and have also drained the battery dead several times and it's charged fine each time.

Everything we know about this phone says that the hardware itself, other than the screenprinted branding on the front side is exactly the same as the i777. The differences are purely software (kernel, partitions, etc).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atvspecialties:
Yes, I too believe it's a problem only with the SGH-959g. I just keep an eye on the battery percentage & I'm usually always near a charger.

SGH-959G..... ????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
Steve here is also one of the great contributors to our threads. I am always glad to see him chime in on a topic/issue. I also have to agree that there are alot of good insight in this thread and I am glad to see no bashing going on and on the other end, no stupid questions that have already been answered. I did not originally intend for this thread to go this route but glad it is!

I too have also drained my battery an have not seen any ill effect.But I would like to implement a kind of undercharging though. On my N7Flo (Yes I am bragging ;) ) I use Glitch Kernel and can set the charging voltage to 4.2 instead of the usual 4.3. It means that I never get a full charge but expands the life of the battery tremendously. We already have a weak battery as is but I, for one, am usually around a charger at my desk or car and can give it a quick boost from time to time. I have seen the data backing this up and it is conclusive.

Lastly I am uploading the newest build (Numero Cinco) right now. I will be updating the changelog. This build is not a huge jump from the last. This one just adds the newest sources/commits. These help with layout and stability. Hopefully the Recording bug is finally squashed. Added Low RAM option that when enabled should help add to the snappiness of the device. Face Detection was merged/added. I mainly use my phone to take pics of barcodes though but someone will like that :) and a couple other commits that impede the build process that should really have been merged to mainstream by now. oh well. . .

Kind Regards,

Render

I'm having an issue with my profiles and was wondering if someone else could try.

When i set different notification sounds for say the work profile. When i switch to that profile the notification sound i get is still the default profile's notification sound. I've set up the app groups and I've tried no override off and on, and it doesn't change no matter what i try

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I'm just quoting you Indigo as a reference to what I'm speaking about--the battery drain / going dead issue. I've been here on the S2 forums for about a year now, the Atrix forums before that. And I can say that I've run across a lot of people that have this strange battery drain / going dead issue. It SEEMS to be a random occurence, in other words, your battery may be fine but the next guys may die and not charge at all if it's completely drained. To be honest, I think it may be something of a fluke that only affects a small percentage of users, but obviously it would suck to BE one of those users. Just thought I'd let anyone know out there who experienced it, you're not alone. I've seen it before here. And thank you Render for all you're doing for this community. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
well maybe it won't be an issue with this new replacement phone it was with 2 different batteries (in the same phone) both fairly new 1 was only a month old 2nd was about 5 months old I was real careful with it. then I went in hospital and it completely drained while I was in there and wouldn't recharge. guess I better have a backup battery if I am going to install a custom rom. Thanks for the feed back from what I read I thought is was an issue with all these phones thank you all for enlightening me. And to clarify you could drain them to 0% once and only once the 2nd time dead and wouldn't charge.

*** one thing I've noticed... The aosp android keyboard was put back in, and I'm glad. The Google one doesn't hv the punctuation long press option.... But, the swipe isn't working on the aosp one. The trace line is present but no letters/words appear. Manual typing does work though. Is there a flashable zip somewhere for the aosp keyboard?

Again, thanks Render.

I just flashed this this morning. Video is tested as working, which is a huge plus! dI'm glad for whoever gets this working, but for me the CPU just gets hot and stays hot. The CPU frequency fluctuates between 200-1200 constantly, staying at 1200 for long periods of time before dropping to 200 and then back up again. I've tried changing governors and rebooting, also staying at on demand and not changing the IO scheduler. Just can't seem to get it to stay cool. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's also possible ( I don't have the time to test it now) that it's a bad flash, but I wouldn't think so) After I get off work I may try it again. Thanks for all you do my friend! This project is definitely heading in the right direction!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
The only other thing I can think of is your phone signal. Do you get good signal where your at? If its low all the time the phone tries to add power to the antenna and this can cause the phone to run hotter. Just a thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] datboy143:
Not sure if it's Rom or theme related but going back to the 12/12/13 build whenever I apply a theme the contacts are always blacked out. I use mostly dark themes I tried a few different ones but same result.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:
I used to have that problem using the HellyBean Rom awhile back but have not seen this issue with the CM11 Rom I build. If you do a fresh install without installing any other APKs or themes, are the contacts blacked out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] datboy143:
It's only blacked out when I apply a theme other than default theme. It's not a issue just putting it out there. Haven't found a complaint with the Rom/your work thus far and I doubt I will. Thanks for the Rom it is my daily driver!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jaysix79:
Turn off your phone for a minute and turn it back on. With mine an app would hang and make the phone hot even if you kill the app. Even a reboot doesn't solve the problem. So you need to turn it off and on. Maybe it stay in the memory or something. I think its the app that are not kitkat compatible that hang up. For me its the foldersync.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RenderBroken:

I believe the problem is with the charging circuitry in the phone, not a problem with the battery.

When I got this phone (refurb) the battery was dead out of the box and would not charge. I put it on a charger I had for my Captivate for a few minutes and after that it was fine. It has happened only once since then where it drained to where the phone wouldn't charge it but the aftermarket charger brings it up to a level where the phone will take it from there.

was wondering where is the best place to search for answers to questions regarding setting and features and such of this rom. like camera setting changing default storage location I am sure there will be more too and didnt want to plug this thread up so is there a main thread somewhere like the cyanogenMod 11 thread or do you want questions like where to change camera storage location settings here. On samsung based roms it was always right in camera settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Thank you for the suggestion =D Actually this was before I had installed any apps at all. I usually let the phone settle before installing anything. However, now that I'm thinking about it, it COULD have been from the media scanner possibly? I'm going to full wipe and try flashing again. I'm assuming since no one else mentioned anything about this, I'm the only one experiencing it, which usually means it's somehow user error. (my fault somehow) lol. Oh and Render, I have great service coverage where I live, thanks for the input though, I can understand what you mean. Where I work it's terrible coverage (inside a large building). Anyway, I'll post my results later tonight! Thanks again all! :good:

i have also noticed it but it was a non issue for me if you want you can move the pics with your file explorer type app to your external ... thats what i did i think that's more of a kitkat stock cam app thing but i dont have other cam apps to verify

Ok folks, here's the update. Did a complete full wipe, installed the latest cm 10.2 nightly. Rebooted into recovery. Did another full wipe, then installed the latest cm 11 unofficial from this great dev, Mr. Render. After installation, rebooted into recovery and did a factory reset, just for good measure. (I don't always clean this thoroughly, but just to be sure there was nothing left of any previous flashes, I thought I'd go ahead). I hadn't flashed a gapps package yet, I normally don't do that until I make sure the phone boots up fine and everything is good to go. And it was, the phone booted up quick and painless and everything was normal. I ran through my initial set up, disabling NFC and setting up my home screen and generally just letting the phone settle for a few minutes. At this time, under the Performance tab, On Demand (the default governor) was running, and idling at the normal 200, not bouncing around too much or acting as if anything was going crazy. So then I rebooted into recovery, and flashed the Aroma Gapps package (found in the OP of this thread), choosing not to install ANYTHING additional this time, just to make sure it didn't affect the installation. Gapps installed fine, and I rebooted the phone. Now at this point, after the reboot, I noticed things were a little slower / laggier, but I attributed this to the gapps loading up and the play store and signing into google and blah blah all that stuff. So I signed into my google account ( i do not back up / restore from my google account, FYI, I do that all manually reinstalling any apps I want), and then when everything was calmed down, I left the phone to charge and sit for about 45 minutes. When I came back to check on it, HOPING beyond hope it wouldn't be hot, it was. Steaming hot. I checked under the performance tab, and sure enough, the phone was running at 1200 Mhz. I assume it had been the entire 45 minutes I was gone. It was laggy, and seemed exactly like it was when I tried to install it this morning. SO here's the last little interesting tid bit lol, I decide obviously I can't let my phone run this hot, so I had to install something else. So I reboot into recovery, do a full wipe, and then hit reboot to recovery again (my normal procedure) so I can install a new OS. But instead of rebooting into recovery, it simply reboots to the logo, then flashes recovery on the screen for a second, then reboots. So I'd like someone to do a test for me, so I know if it's JUST my phone or not, and try 1) the Aroma Gapps package, to see if it's just my phone or if it's that package combined with this version of cm 11, and 2) try to wipe data / factory reset, then reboot into recovery and see if it boot loops you. FYI, to get out of this boot loop, I had to use download mode and Odin flash an old .tar of siyah kernel. I hope this helps someone else out, and I hope to understand what the heck is going on with my phone lol.

The next build I will be focusing more on the Kernel aspect than anything else. I have been given permission by Gustavo from the i9100 forum to use his sources in conjunction to building my CM11 kernel. I will also try to make it Omnirom compatible since Omni is based off of CM. Once thing I have not decided yet is wether or not to stick with CWM or TWRP. Let me know what your guys think. On my Flo TWRP is all there is and I have grown to like it. (Along with multirom)

If you find a bug, I recommend going to the sites I referenced awhile back. Here they are again for your convenience:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:open,n,z

and

https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/status:open,n,z

And type this in the search bar:

smdk4412

or

galaxys2

These will show all of the commits for these two projects. The projects are what Cyanogenmod uses to integrate with our device. Alot of the time, Bugs are caused because of our device and not necessarily CM Source. [MENTION=2971663]wiithepeng[/MENTION] provided a nice commit that fixed the video recording bug. I integrated it with my local repo and boom the problem is solved. As I have said before, even if you have no idea what your doing, this is a great way to learn and to contribute without any real coding knowledge.

Now not all Devs want to be slammed with proposed fixes for a bug but if your are polite and non intrusive, you could drop a line and provide a link.

Also from Gerrit you can see all the code/commits that have recently been merged. This is what makes up the source for each nightly or at least the reason for nightlies. If you look at it daily you will see the code change drastically over a short period of time.

I appreciate all the positive comments and support for this project. I am surprised to see this many new names around the i777 forums but I am glad to have you. Since I use the i777 as my work phone/daily driver I will support this devices for as long as I can.
