I'm sorry to say this, but I really dislike the v4.6.

Somehow this version has massive problems with the most recent SlimRom Gapps package(AIO) and shows ongoing force close messages.

And the fact that the standard DPI setting has such a high value really bothers me. I think it is to high for our phone.

Can I turn everything back to what it was DPI wise if I change the entry in the build prop?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

And the settings menue of the new google camera is still not working (using the newest slimrom gapps package)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sjaakfaal:
Thank you, working great!

DPI settings: see firstpost.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
don't know what u call "massive problems". this version runs flawlessly. be more specific abt your problems so maybe we can help.

u can change dpi in build. prop to whatever u want. mine is 220 and looks great.

Changed s2 modem, reset my router, reinstalled another rom, all kit kat roms have the orange wifi problem. Hope Google fixes it fast :mad:

Than I can enjoy my phone again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
i don't have any wi fi problem. not on neat rom and nor on any other kit kat rom.

maybe your problem isn't related to roms?

did u try it with jb rom with the same modem?

what modem do u use?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Now ls8, ms4 worked fine also on 4.1.2 neat
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
did u try xxms4 on this rom? why did u change modem if it worked fine on jb?

i'm using ms4 for very long and it works fine.

check with your local network provider what is their recommended modem for your area
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psychlist:
I might be wrong, but i believe that wi-fi is not dealt with by the modem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Correct. Wifi is kernel related.

External SD and Media Scanner

Just a quick note on 4.6: Media Scanner still goes stuck draining Battery while scanning files on external SD under 4.6. This happens on reboot even when 'MediaScanner behavior on boot' is set to 'Do not scan media' :(

Everything else is fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
First attempt must be to have a look at the corrupted files on both int/ext sd card.

Run check disk.

Also go back and have a good learning.

Some user also reported that 0 sized media files causes media scanner to run indefinitely.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sayem_unlimited:
Hi, Thank you very much for detailed reply.

My apologies to all that I find hard to understand simple things. So please spare my lack of knowledge.

Well, sorry to inform you that even after flashing v4.6 still i'm getting google+ & wi-fi wake-locks which is preventing my phone to sleep. I'm attaching screenshots in this post for you to have a look at it. FYI, i installed both BBS & GSam Battery Mon apps and i took several screenshots from those app but unfortunately those screenshots couldn't get saved as that time media scanner was malfunctioning. but it's my bad that i didn't noticed it at that time. When i restarted the phone to for re-scanning my battery power dropped suddenly (please see the attached files). after restart i immediately disabled google+ to prevent further battery drain. I can't give you BBS stats (which wasn't saved ), but there i found which google+ process is keeping it awake.its "fingerprint_scanner_local (com.google.android.apps.plus.Google+)"

You'll also see that wi-fi is always turned on, but in reality i only turned wi-fi on for couple of minutes.

Please tell me how to fix this problem.

Thanks!!!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Not sure if there really has to be a corrupted file. My impression is that the media scanner just is crap. Since I do not use it any more (you have to set ask at boot and then wipe it from notification) everything works. And it still sometimes works and sometimes sticks w/o changing anything on the ext SD.

Hi

You don't need to apologise for not understanding things: as you say, it's just because you don't yet have enough knowledge to understand all the things about this rom that you'd like to understand. The more you search for information, the more knowledge you'll get, and the more confident you'll feel, so i still encourage you to search xda and other forums. For me, searching for info helps me to understand better than just having people tell me how to do things.

That said, here are some things to try:

For wi-fi issue, if it's actually causing a battery drain problem, look in the rom's settings > wi-fi > menu (3 dots at bottom right) > advanced. You will find some settings there that perhaps could do with changing. Have a look, have a think, maybe try changing some that seem to you to require changing, then check whether it solves the problem. If you get stuck, ask for help again.

For google+, if you feel you must have it (i don't have it myself), in the rom's settings > apps, clear google+ cache and data and see whether that cures problem. If not, check whether syncing is enabled; if it is, disable it and see whether that makes it behave better. If that doesn't work, read my previous reply to you again, and decide whether you want to try the options i suggested there. If you decide not to do that, ask for help again in this thread, although someone else will have to answer any further questions about google+, because i don't really know much about that app.

For sudden power drop, that doesn't look like a real power drop to me, it looks more like a battery level monitoring issue. Try rebooting with your phone on charge. If that doesn't work, follow Chill's very good recent advice to another member with the same problem - charge battery from 0% to full.

Good luck!

Use build prop editor, scroll down to lcd density, tune dpi as you wish, reboot, enjoy.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twinn:
Try this procedure as last resort :

backup your apps

copy rom, gapps and kernel on ext sdcard

copy all your data from internal sd to PC

remove out the ext sd

go to recovery/mounts and storage then mount all partitions except the EFS

format all (cache, data, preload, system, sdcard, emmc...)

insert back the ext sdcard

flash rom and gapps

reboot

You can flash Apolo or stay on default kernel

Report back pls :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Is that different than wipe in twrp? (select everything but ext sd)

That's how I did all the installs.

Just looked, i see no format option.

Issue after Dorimanx kernel flash

Hi,

I installed this ROM successfully on my phone. After the initial setup was done, I decided to install the DorimanX kernel.

Before that I did a backup using TWRP. After I tried to flash the latest v8.43v111.1 Dorimanx kernel, I got a permission error (Status 7). I succeeded to flash the Dorimanx V8.43v102 kernel, but the system doesn't boot anymore.

I can reach CWM but I would like to know how to reboot into recovery using TWRP to restore my nandroid backup.

Btw, how do I boot using TWRP instead of CWM?

Alternately, do you know an older DorimanX kernel version that would work?

Thank you,

Daimonji
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marjune23:
Flash compatible KK CWM from 1st post...

Then flash Dorimanx-V8.43v76, the only unknown stable version...

Then report back...

Edit: Please disregard that dori version above, V8.43 is for sammy base and KK with maliV2...

We're on NeatRom AOSP, so please use branch 10...

1. Flash compatible KK CWM from 1st post...

2. Flash latest is Dorimanx 10.43v111 by [MENTION=1670821]cybernetus[/MENTION]...

But if you don't want to use dori and want to have TWRP recovery, just reflash the NeatRom AOSP with no wipe...

Thanks to [MENTION=5331424]psychlist[/MENTION] for the clarification through PM...good...

didn't help. still after long deep sleep (usually in the morning) if i don"t reboot all incoming calls r redirected to my voicemail and phone doesn't ring.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Daimonji:
Thank you marjune23, I reflashed CWM and reinstalled this ROM and was able to load NeatROM again.

I thought that maliv3 was for newer hardware. I tried flashing v10.43v111 but got the same set_perm error (status 7 code). This only version is was able to flash was V8.43v102 but got the bootloop after.

Edit: Got explaination about mali version in this topic.

Would it be easier by using ODIN/Heimdall? I would love to use Dorimanx kernel to install a second ROM.

Another question, I noticed that my RIL is KitKat (I9100XXLS6/8) and my baseband is I9100PBVLP7. Is it a good idea to change the RIL to I9100PBVLP7 as getRIL suggests it?

Thank you again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psychlist:
I'm going to butt into this conversation, only to deal with your ril question, in case you get impatient and decide to try it (because i expect marjune23 is asleep right now). Don't. Getril, as far as i know, will find rils intended to work with stock firmware. If you install one of these on your phone, you will almost certainly seriously mess your phone up. As far as i know, you will not find an installable ril or ril/modem combination that will work with any custom rom. If you want your ril and modem to match (which is theoretically a good idea, though in practice the results are unpredictable), flash a ls6 or ls8 modem. Bear in mind that whatever modem you flash, it's a matter of finding out what works best for your phone, which is dependent on many factors, not just how compatible ril and modem are - so you need to experiment. You might find that bvlp7 delivers better results for you than ls6 or ls8. If you're experimenting with modems (or flashing roms, for that matter), it's a very good idea to have your efs backed up: make sure you've got the appropriate box in twrp checked when you do a nandroid backup, or use a separate utility to backup your efs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marjune23:
Ok RIL was already answered by [MENTION=5331424]psychlist[/MENTION]...

About the dualboot you want to happen, bear in mind you should consider first what combination of rom you'll use before deciding which branch of dori you will use...

And about v111 of dori, yes there's an error of status7 when you flash it directly from cwm...

You can flash v111 by flashing first either the ff...

1. Flash kk compatible cwm/twrp

2. Flash dori v109

3. Flash dori v111

That's an interesting problem. I assume you haven't got quiet hours enabled (that's the sort of thing i'd do, and then forget i'd done it - but i assume you're not as scatterbrained as i am: few people are).

I suppose that if i were in that situation, i'd restore a nandroid backup or full wipe and reflash the rom. If that was too inconvenient, i might try flashing a kernel and seeing if that solved the problem. Failing that, here's something you could try, which might either solve the problem, or shed some light on it: install Macrodroid free version from play, create macro with trigger: call incoming from any number, and actions: (1) launch application > dialler and (2) play/stop sound > select sound. If you try this, i'd be interested to know what happens, and also i'd be interested to know whether you get missed calls showing in your calls log when the problem kicks in and calls go to voicemail.

quiet hours don't affect the incoming calls and no i don't get any missed calls sign. i've changed the kernel (for gustavo) and i'll see tomorrow morning if it changed anything. will report.
