elderly android bugs

Hi to old friends: i've been absent from xda for several months, and will probably continue to be absent for several months more apart from round about now.

I notice on skimming recent posts on this thread that the media scanner wakelock issue continues to rear its less than beautiful head, so i thought i'd quickly give you guys some info about something suggested several months ago, namely denying media storage wakelocks via settings>security>privacy guard (in conjunction with using poweramp for music and quicpic for photos, both of which have their own scanners, and setting media scanner to ask for permission to scan on boot and then denying that request). The thing is, i've been using this method for a good many months now (i'm still on neatrom 4.6 (for reasons i might post about when i have time to check something out about v 7 first), so that'll give you some idea how long), and in all that time i've had no media scanner wakelocks, naturally, but i've had no other problems either; in particular, my phone rings when it's supposed to. I'm just letting you know because this way of handling the issue is now reasonably well test-driven. Android being what it is, i don't expect this to work for everyone, but if you're having problems and haven't tried it, it might be worth trying.

Another thing i noticed was references to another old friend, the music stops playing bug. I've never experienced this myself, and given its random nature, i'd say any workaround is worth trying even if that workaround hasn't worked for others, but also expect any workaround to fail at some point. [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] and others have been putting in quite a bit of time trying to chase this bug down, and it appears to affect only the exynos chip series used in the i9100 and a few other samsung devices when they run kitkat; and in his most recent opinion it relates specifically to the kernel. Not very encouraging, i'm afraid. You can read a little about some of the latest opinion here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2612329&page=47 . Incidentally, given that the bug seems to occur most often when reading music files from external sd card rather than the internal, has anyone tried unmounting and remounting the card as a slightly quicker alternative to rebooting after the bug kicks in (and one that maintains radio connectivity)? I'm just curious to know whether this would work.

Finally, [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION]: v 4.6 kicks ass (that was a long time coming, wasn't it?), and when i get time i'm going to write to xda mods proposing that you be given recognised deity status.

Bugs in the ROM

Even I was facing the issue of Music Player stopping randomly. And used to resume back only after a restart.

Also I was unable to copy/paste BIG files from the mobile to Laptop. (Copy The ROM File from Laptop to Internal SD/or External SD and you will see copying at 1 Mbps and the speed will eventually drop to zero with no further progress.). Even file transfer from External to Internal memory and vice-versa results in the same as above.

Now after seeing the above post, I believe this is all pertaining to Read/Writing speed BUG on internal/external memory card. The music player stops frequently as it is unable to read further from the external memory where all my music was stored. Now I can co-relate the two. This has been a bug in the past few versions.

I am now on EHNDROIX Rom with no such copy/paste or random music player hang issues. So this is not an issue with my memory card or phone which I thought earlier.

Sale please look into this. This seem to be a major hitch on the RoM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] top_score:
ive had random music player freezes using Player Pro on most ROMs, ive been using SPIRIT ROM for the last few weeks with no random freezes, coincidence maybe. just a fyi and not endorsing spirit rom as better or worse than any other rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bohrokkaita:
Well yes, I do face the exact same issue, regardless of music player or card format. Stopping of music, phone gets extremely hot and I need to reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psychlist:
I am happy for you that so far your phone is behaving well with your new rom, but i'm afraid your reasoning is faulty. If the fact that you have used ehndroix for a while without experiencing the bug proved that you could not possibly experience the bug on ehndroix and that therefore the problem lies with neatrom, then the fact that i have used neatrom for a while without experiencing the bug would prove that the problem does not lie with neatrom. The fact is that ehndroix is a tweaked version of cyanogenmod, many cyanogenmod kk users have reported the music stop bug, and afaik ehndroix's developer makes no claim to have removed the bug: so if ehndroix turned out never to be affected by the bug, it would be either because of luck or because one of the developer's tweaks accidentally cured the problem. If no ehndroix user has yet experienced the bug, it is almost certainly because ehndroix has not yet been used by enough people for enough time, and as time goes on the probability of some user experiencing the bug will increase. From the standpoint of our current lack of knowledge, manifestation of the bug is a random event, so from our experiences we can infer probabilities but not certainties.

If, as appears likely, the problem lies with the kernel and the chip, there is no point asking sale to fix the problem, because he develops the rom, not the kernel (@_Sale_ correct me if i'm wrong about that: i know you've got lots of free time on your hands and could use a hobby - have you taken up kernel development while i've been away?).

I very much hope that your experience of ehndroix continues to be bug-free, though: good luck with that! :)

Hey, Im using slim neatrom aosp v5.6 for like, 4 or 5 days, and my battery is draining like hell when wifi is on, can someone help me? Please
[Galaxy S II Android Development] abhilash007:
He I may be wrong in concluding the above. Just try Forwarding a song (Half of it in your music player). I have faced hanging of music player whenever I was trying to forward a song. Just try it once.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
1. Try HiFont

2. Samsung app won't work

3. Samsung app won't work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crownpiyush:
HiFont is also not working

is there a way to change the fonts by replacing system fonts, if yes. how can i do that.

thanks button pressed:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SmoQ888:
Try Rom Toolbox font installer.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Yes.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Troubadour666:
Hi all

I use Xpose module PerAppFont , it always worked fine on all 4.4.x rom i test, with dorimanx kernel, 1rst rom or 2nd rom, i never use ART then i can use Xpose framework.

you can change fonts for each app you need change font, even launcher, settings....individualy.

- make a folder on extsdcard like 'fonts' and i pushed on it some *.ttf files from our s2 forum threads i found.

-in perappfont , i change folder fonts in its settings with my extsdcard path and i reboot.

- after reboot, fonts appeared in perappfont module. the i can attrib what font i want for each app installed on my device.

(you just have to install and enable Xpose framework before. not compatble with ART afaik.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crownpiyush:
there are many fonts so please tell me which font to replace

it gives FC when installing font
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:
Download a font from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2576611

and flash it from recovery.

Best regards, Coempi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crownpiyush:

whats the best kernel for battery again?...also phone is hot most of the time compared to stock ...you guys got this too?....i really forgot ..Apolo 7.1 cyonogen right or was it omni base? Thx guys
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:
CM.

For me, original kernel works better than Apolo. My phone gets also hot when WiFi is on, but nothing serious.

Best regards, Coempi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sjaakfaal:
Hi Guys,

I've been using V5 for a few months now. I use my phone all day long, i travel a lot. In the beginning i noticed the camera bug where i would not store the photo after photo was taken (also, no thumbnail appeared after pressing the "take picture" button), but now this bug is history for 2 months now.

Overall issues:

- unannounced reboot every 2-3 days;

- Bluetooth; pair with my car's radio system: all ok. First incomming or outgoing call: after 30 sec. bluetooth fails. During conversation i have to pair again, no problems after that, but very annoying. No problems with stock rom;

- Camera video: i use Daily Roads Voyager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dailyroads.v&hl=nl_NL) to record my road trips. Worked fine with stock rom, but since V5 after 10 minutes (+/-) the screen freezes, phone seems locked (?) and i have to remove the battery.

- Whatsapp: can send images, sounds, text, but no video's. Whatsapp crashes plus i have to kill the upload process. No problems with stock rom;

- GPS is really horrible. Sometimes after 2-3 hours driving still no GPS fix, on the other hand sometimes fix after 10 sec when i'm on foot in the city. But overall, it sucks bigtime. With "GPS test" i did clear AGPS and update AGPS, little improvements but far from perfect. With stock rom it was better, but not perfect;

- Some minor issues, not important.

I think these issues are related to specific system software processes and my question is: will V7 help me?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ssanjy:
Don't get me wrong.. But if things are not good for you in your present ROM, then back up and try the new version because at times problems are device specific and with different users, same model may have different problems and new version tends to solve issues you are facing.... I would suggest you to try the new version... But nandroid first so that is your problem worsens or you're not satisfied you may get back to your old version... And yes go for full wipe..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilotn:
I think this is my record :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jstrangest:
Anyone? :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
Latest version is v7.0, why don't you just do a clean flash ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jstrangest:
I tried and got status 6 and 7 while trying to flash :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psychlist:
Did you check md5sum before installing? My best guess is that you had corrupted versions of both v.7 (corrupted updater script) and v.5.6 (corrupted kernel) (assuming the recovery that gave status 6 and 7 errors is the same recovery that installed v. 5.6).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
How about using app settings module for those who don't use art.

Change the DPI of individual apps and keep

ro.sf.lcd_density="240"

:):D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CaptainGoSlow:
On the bottom one, is that due to you having 7 icons per page on the dock in Nova settings? You can change that to 5 and then set extra pages to make it look less squashed. I've not used Nova in a while, but can't you also change the icon sizing too, which might help?

I'll have a look at 240DPI here as I thought I tried it yesterday and looked OK. Might've been when I tested SlimBean though.

Edit: mine looks OK at 240 as well as per attached.

Although, I'd have to say... Why is everything so BIG! :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Haha:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Yep, that'd work too but you'd have to change a lot of apps...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Where to change? I looked but couldnt find it.

200 dpi is just to small. It hurts my eyes :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:
Lol , too all Guy's with DPI issue, this is how (182 dpi) it will be for now as long as sale uses Slim base.It can only be AFAIk resolved if sale starts to build his KK roms from pure AOSP Source, so bear with him for now and use a Diff launcher like 'Nova' or 'APEX' as they do fine with Slim based AOSP NEATROM for now :)

And do throw that default 'Launcher3' app to Dustbin as it lacks customisation compared to 'APEX' or 'NOVA' Launchers :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
I like to use 160 DPI.

I see one way.

Extract build.prop from ROM zip ..edit it

Then push it back .

Done.:thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Nova is included in the install and I use it, but how should I change dpi with that? 182 isnt wachable for me. I need a microscope
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cvexkeks:
Sale, please include dpi change tutorial in OP:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:
Notepad++ ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
No use pure aosp :D it seems like every one thinks its to small anyway :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] altojd:
i'm running art ithout any problems. ran it on carbon rom, beanstalk rom and now on neat. it's smoother and much faster. surely it's the main improvement of kit kat.

i wouldn't suggest anyone to stick to dalvik.

I got status 7 and edited the updater script (deleted the first lines as I saw on youtube), then I got status 6 and didnt find a way to fix it.. Do I need to do a clean flash? Im really not in the mood of doing all over again lol but if i have to.. I will.. Or can i just flash the same kernel its being used in this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psychlist:
I don't know whether the kernel would be compatible, but even if it is you'd have to extract the img and put it in a flashable container, and to me it would be much easier and more reliable to reflash the whole rom. If you use mybackup (free on play) you can back up not just your apps but also your system settings, contacts, texts etc (ditto titanium, but mybackup is much more straightforward to use), so it's not that much hassle to reflash - probably about the same amount of hassle as watching a youtube video and editing the rom file! Important to check md5 though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sjaakfaal:
Wow! Whoever have the "whatsapp send video -> crash" problem; here's your answer!

-------------------- COPY PASTE ---------------------

tried tweaking with the camera app. switched to mp4 encoding, started shooting a video with and it was sent.

so my guess is that the camera app need a redefine of the encoding process.

now i've switched to h.264.

I put the camera in video mode and then went to settings/more settings and put the encoding to mp4.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jstrangest:
yeah, you're right, it is easier to reflash the whole rom lol I tried to use mybackup once, but didn't get to reinstall the apps and stuff, I'll try again.

I don't know how to check the md5, can you help me? I'm downloading 7.0 now
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psychlist:
there are a few free apps on play for checking md5s, and any decent file explorer will be able to do it. in fx (free on play), navigate to the file, long pess on it, select information or info (i forget which) from pop up dialog box, then a box pops up with a button labelled 'check hash' or something like that: press that and it'll calculate (takes a few seconds) then display md5 and sha values. compare the md5 with the md5 posted below (or above - i forget which) the link to the download in the op. if the values match you're good to go. if they don't match (and if they don't, they'll be very markedly different), you've got a corrupted file. i think the md5sum for the gapps file is on the download host site rather than in the op, as far as i recall.

btw, i have to confess that i've never used mybackup for restoring apps - i use titanium for that - but i use mybackup for everything else (system settings etc) and it works well for that.

EDIT: i've got to log off now, not back for at least 20 hours, but if you need any more help, just read op carefully, use search box for this thread, use google, or post a general plea for help here - i'm sure there will be someone around who can help. Good luck!

I'm on holidays now but still trying to help [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION] so I can mention that 7.2.x is in testing phase :) will try to give more info during the weekend, stay tuned!

This ROM has Lockscreen Notifications?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Don't do anything with the updater script.

Download the recovery given in the op

You might have removed the assets lines using notepad or word.

Use only notepad++ if you are editing any script.

My 2 cents for music player hanging / stop playing :

After I formatted my 64 go Samsung sd card as exfat , never had this problem.

I use player pro (still in trial mode).

I have to say that, using it during workout, never used for more than 2 hours.

Skipping songs via lock screen widget, volume keys or directly from app, never give me a problem.

Of course my mp3 are on external SD.

For any user (like me) who are using cam recording software like Dailyroads Voyager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dailyroads.v&hl=nl_NL) and the software crashes a lot:

(see my post above)

1. Go to camera app

2. Select video

3. Goto settting (press empty circle), en select settings

4. Goto Video Encoder

5. Choose MPEG4

And your app will work (again).

So there is a (system?) bug with H263 and/or H264 encoding.

[MENTION=1167793]sale[/MENTION] Dailyroads was working on stock roms, but i dont know if H263/H264 encoding was available then. Could this be system bug?

After having a phone call, my screen usually stops responding to all touch inputs, including from the capacitive keys. Is there a reason or fix for this? The only workaround i have found is to turn off the screen via the power button, the turn it on via the home button. That clears the blockage, but it's a clumsy solution.
