Since i wrote that post, i have come across the opinion that orange icons mean loss of connection with google's servers. If that's true (and the gcm wakelock you refer to makes me think it is true), there's no point doing what i suggested, because it won't make any difference to the situation. Sorry about that. There might be a (very clunky) solution with Tasker, but if you haven't already got it you'd have to buy it (i don't know how much it costs at the moment). There might be other more elegant solutions with Tasker, but the solution that i'm thinking of (it's the only one that i can think of right now that i know could be done) would involve having Tasker disconnect and reconnect mobile and wi-fi signals, and do so at times (for example, at periodic intervals) chosen by you. Because of what i've found out while looking into a different matter, i'm confident that if the orange icons do signify absence of connection to google's servers, the possible solution i'm talking about would achieve reconnection to them. (A better solution might involve having Tasker listen for the gcm wakelock, but (a) if that's possible, i don't know how to do it and (b) depending on what's causing the loss of connection, it might introduce short cycling between connected and disconnected states, which would likely introduce very significant battery drain)

Obviously this is not the ideal solution, and it would introduce additional battery drain - how much would depend on how often the Tasker profile kicked in and reset connection. I don't think the extra drain would be much, but the only way to find out for sure would be to try it. If you decide you want to try it and you want more detailed info, just ask.

An alternative to using volume down + power, if you don't want to be wearing out the buttons on your phone, is to assign the screenshot action to a button you can create on your navigation bar, or to a double tap or long tap on your back button or menu button. You can do Settings > Navigation > Hardware Buttons, or Settings > Navigation > Navigation bar > Buttons, and when you get there, just tap on some of the options and see what you like out of the available possibilities. You'll discover quite a lot of cool options. If you get stuck, just ask for help.

Only thing I may have changed is freezing google+ because it gives constant fingerprint wake lock. Could that be the issue? I can find no info on how to get rid of the wakelock else.

Lol...Happy Easter All...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psychlist:
I don't know. You could unfreeze it for a time and find out whether the orange icons stop appearing. Also, if you have wakelock problems with google+, you could have it unfrozen but deny it wakelocks in Settings > Security > Privacy Guard > menu (3 dots) > uncheck Permission filter (this is probably not necessary, but you might as well do it anyway in case it is) and (assuming you installed google+ as system app as part of your gapps) check Show built-in apps > long press on google+. This should lead you to a list of some (not all) of google+ permissions, including 'stay awake' or 'keep awake' or something like that, and you can switch this permission off. I can't check on my phone because i don't have google+. If you do this and still have problems, and if you're on dalvik, i think you might be able to find some Xposed Framework modules to do the job in a different way that's less likely to cause problems - the module Xprivacy, for example, does this, i think. If you're using an Xposed module to deny wakelocks to google+, it's a good idea to have the 'keep awake' in system settings on.

I'm afraid i've run out of xda thanks for today (a sensible rule, which has the very desirable effect of discouraging people from being too thankful), but thanks for posting the pic. I'm always on the look-out for pictures of rabbits humping chickens, and in my opinion there aren't enough of them on xda. Any chance of a pic of a rooster humping a rabbit? No pressure, just asking.

EDIT:

I think the penny might just have dropped in my head. I'm not going to bore you with how that happened, but i don't think freezing google+ is what's causing the problem. Check out this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2142503 and read the OP.

I don't know what a fingerprint wakelock is, but if it's something google+ might seek in order to look for connection to google's servers, so that it can get notifications, then if you implement the solution in the thread i've linked above, you might (a) solve your problem and (b) also be able to unfreeze google+ without needing to deny it wakelocks. Incidentally, if you use the app i've linked to above, you might end up with more gcm wakelocks, but if you do, check whether they're actually causing a battery drain problem - just having more wakelocks doesn't have to be a problem.

Hi guys,

I've noticed that unread emails received from MS Exchange are causing notification (sound) each 5 minutes unless are read or being marked as read...under normal circumstances I wouldn't mind being notified about unread mail every 5 minutes but since I've bought Pebble smartwatch this causes that I receive every 5 minutes a new notification (message) to my watch that I have an unread mail...and this drives me crazy...

How do I change this behavior? I would like to receive notifications about new emails but once is enough :) Hope this is not caused by Pebble notifier app I had to install to get full exchange notifications (original Pebble app sends only vague messages like "you've got mail" without any detail...).

Thanks for your help!

Hey there !

I love this rom, thanks for your job :).

I just have a few questions :

- Sometimes the phone freezes and I have to pull off the battery (happens everytime with "Springfield" App (simpson based game). How can I solve this ?

- How can I properly delete nova launcher and still be able to install it from market ? Because if I just delete the apk from system/app, I can't install it back (got an error).

Thanks for your help :).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Yes very much here:)

May be you can try deleting from data/data

Just search for the keyword "nova" and delete the whole folder.

Install from PS and see

For all of you who haven't seen it allready: Wakelocks; a good guide to wakelocks in general and the media scanner wakelock specifically

All the best
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Heraku:
FINALLY!!!

I was able to fix my media scanner by using logcat.

For anyone having problems with mediascanner I sugest using a log reading tool in order to understand what the mediascanner does or doesn't.

The thing that caused MEdiascanner to hang was a file on the internal SD (a ringtone in the download folder, it had a 0 kb filesize and could not be played and I dont know how this file got corrupted...)

That a file on the internal SD caused all this is quite strange as:

- the mediascanning worked at least one time and indexed all my files on the SD card so the corrupted file didnt seem to make the mediascanner halt its process

- would I delete the music folder on my SD card, then the media scanner would run without problems, even though the corrupted file is still there...

So anyway to solve this, I got the following log(below an absract of the relevant parts)

I/MediaProvider(5046): Upgrading media database from version 0 to 700, which will destroy all old data
W/MediaScanner(6073): Error opening directory '/storage/sdcard0/.android_secure/', skipping: Permission denied.
I/ActivityManager(2257): Waited long enough for: ServiceRecord{652f0040 u0 com.android.providers.media/.MediaScannerService}
[B]E/MediaScannerJNI(6073): An error occurred while scanning file '/storage/sdcard0/download/ATT_CatchMe.ogg'[/B]

[I]And a lot of the two following errors[/I]

W/ (6073): Unsupported encoding for GPSProcessingMethod
E/MetadataRetrieverClient(1857): failed to extract an album art

So I deleted the ringtone under downloads and from tht moment on the Mediascanner worked fine!

On the first complete run through with a working Mediascanner I got additionally the following logs

E/MediaScannerJNI(5046): An error occurred while scanning file '/storage/sdcard1/Music/Portishead/Video/01-Undenied.avi'.
W/MediaScanner(5046): Error opening directory '/storage/usbdisk0/', skipping: Permission denied.

The Error for the file above is the same as the one I got for the ringtone that caused the mediascanner to hang, however this file didnt cause a hangup... which is quite strange. Maybe its not as corrupted as the initial file.

1) Can someone tell me that "Unsupported encoding for GPSProcessingMethod" means? Was there wrongly formated GPS data written into the exif files of my pictures or what does it mean?

2) Are the Errors from opening directorys relevant and need to be fixed? the one with usbdisk0 I got only sometimes but the one with .android_secure I get everytime the mediascanner starts.

In conclusion: Everything works for now and it is all to viewing the system logs(that was my first time :angel: )

It has got nothing to do with Dalvik or Art runtime, since the music stutter issue is more of a kernel related(other than Stock kernel) one AFAIK :)

MediaScanner

Hello,

I did a little bit of experimenting with the mediascanner problem (getting stuck at reading some file):

* it is not dependent on the sdcard - tried different ones, same problem.

To locate the 'problem file' i tried the following:

1. locate the process ids of mediascanner and the related sdcard process.

2. kill both of them

3. issue 'am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED -d file:///storage/sdcard1' to trigger a new run of the media scanner

MediaScanner starts again, reads some files (visible via lsof) and at some point gets stuck again. But it is almost always a different file. Just that it is about after the same runtime (at least it feels like that). If I put a '.nomedia' in that directory, mediascanner gets stuck somewhere else.

So my conclusion: it is not a corrupted file, and it is not the sdcard.

It feels like running in a deadlock or unhandled timeout (too slow sd card involved?!) at some point in time, and gets stuck on that. The processes do nothing after hang, not even cpu usage. Both processes just have a media file open, and therefore preventing the phone from deep sleep and drain the battery.

Maybe that helps debugging.

Recent app kill all apps how?

thank you
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Heraku:
Do a pinch zoom in the list from top/bottom to the middle

BTW: Do you guys also get the recent app bar whenever you press home when the phone is turned off and the lockscreen was not activated yet(delay)?

This was also the case for me with dorimanx kernel on rootbox 4.2.2

Is it that hard to fix? Dorimanx was told that this is a ROM thing and the kernel has nothing to do with it

DashClock widget on lockscreen

Hi,

first of all. Great work master Sale.

I have two small problems with dashClock widget on my lockscreen:

1) When I touch it a nd slide down, the settings button does not appear.

2) If I add calendar into dashclock widget and slide down on lockscreen, there is no agenda. Clock and weather icon just move a little bit lower to the center of screen.

I also tried to add some other features to the dashclock (from google play), but it does not work at all.

Thanks for reply

My S2 had a very long life (3 years) and it ends up with NeatROM and now NeatROM AOSP. I was really happy with it (speed, functionnalities, ...) (I nearly forget to follow the xda thread :D )

I just buy a S5, so it's time for S2's second life (my wife gets it back). I put it back on NeatROM 5.9 and let's go for one more year ! :)

I will follow the new thread for S5 but for the moment the original ROM works great.

im not sure mate you are the only one who reported this

This is my lockscreen after I pulled down the DashClock widget.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Heraku:
I have that too, something is obviously not working right.

Concerning your missing settings button for dashclock: just go to your widgets and get the dashclock widget on your startscreen. The widget starts the settings. So you dont need a settings cog on your lcokscreen.

pinch to kill all recent app's, who's idea was that haha ...from just pressing a button to making a two finger gesture is a step back ...lol

BTW here is some feedback :

left neatkat with version 2.5 i think ...something like that

good things:

stable

pretty

Multitask superfast

nice features ..(dark slim ..full date on statusbar, slimpie and so on)

bad things

battery ....oh man it is bad :(

the reason why i left neatkat then is still a major problem, for me drain is to damn high ...2.5~3 h screen on time max ..compared to 4 h ~4.5 h on stock rom.

the thing is ...battery > features

at least for me.

i stay a bit on neatkat to change the look for a while but than back to stock neat for me.

thanks to the dev for doing his best.

Firstly thanks for this great rom. very fluid & sleek :)

Not too sure if this is a rom related issue but after a few days on this suddenly when I transfer files such as music folders etc, after a few minutes the desktop progress bar stops, phone screen goes blank & I have to pull battery to reboot. Usually folders are no more than 200MB size so any idea what's up?

Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Heraku:
Since a few versions back this problem occurs.

If you transfer files it happens that the phone will get "Sleep of death" at random times(this problem doenst let you wait for too long...)

First I thought that this happens only if you allow your screen to turn off during files transfer, but this is not the case(I checked keep screen on in the developer options; but this didnt work).

The only way to circumvent this would be to 1) test your luck and hope that the transfer finishes or 2) boot into recovery, mount the wanted filesystem and do it there!

Currently i'm running on NeatROM 5.7 & now downloading I9100 AOSP NeatROM v4.2. I'll install it by tomorrow. I've read instruction many times,so I hope nothing goes wrong.

I want to know something about this ROM. In the Feature list it's not mention anything about Xposed, but in the FAQ Q&A area its mentioned. So please tell me about it. And is double tap screen lock & unlock possible like HTC M8. I'd be really glad if i can have that option.

thanks again and waiting for reply.

As GeScha says, xposed will work with this rom if you use dalvik, BUT you need to be careful: there are lots of mods in this rom that do the same thing as various options in various xposed modules, and if you run an option in an xposed module that is the same as or similar to a function that is already built into the rom, you might cause problems. If you're coming to this rom for the first time, it would be a good idea to become familiar with the rom's options before using any xposed modules, so that you can avoid this problem. And in any case, it's a good idea to take a nandroid backup before switching on any xposed module. Also, be aware that if you uninstall an xposed module, you should clear all the module's settings and in the rom's Settings delete all data for the module before uninstalling. If you don't, you could find that module still doing its thing even after full wipe and fresh rom install. (If anyone's skeptical about that, i can assure you it's true - i found that out the hard way. Duh!)

There's an xposed module called 'Double tap to sleep', which does what it says, the double tap having to be made on the status bar. I'm not aware of any module that enables you to unlock with a double tap, but if anyone knows of one, i'd be interested to hear about it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sayem_unlimited:
Thanks for your reply. So, Xposed is not enabled by default. But as instructed, i switched to ART after flashing. Previously i used Greenify, but it wont work if i use ART. So, I've to go back to Dalvik for such apps, right?

I ran into some trouble after flashing the ROM. Once completed, the ROM booted normally, Then i rebooted the phone again and the reboot process hung at Samsung screen. I removed the battery and tried to boot but got same result. Then i rebooted to recovery and did a full wipe (factory default). Then the phone booted normally. So far i rebooted 4-5 times, but not faced the problem so far. Could someone explain what caused the problem.

Thanks a lot.
