Hey guys I can't seem to figure out why my phone won't boot after flashing the lastest nightly. I came from CM11 nightly and I factory reset( wiped data,system,dc,cache) and it still won't go past the SAMSUNG logo...any ideas? I'm running TWRP 2.6.3.0

EDIT: Redownloading the ROM and gapps fixed this. Can't believe I spent two hours trying to figure out what's going on. -_____-

Amazing ROM by the way!

It's been a few days now since the last Nightly, are we still building ok or failing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ijaved:
This is awesome. Thank you all for providing us this rom :)

I had problems with gps and rebooted/fixed permission but that did not fix the issue. It was not locking location. I then tried turning of the Location Service off and on again and that fixed the problem. So if someone else has problem can try that.

I was wondering if this rom has Breathing led notification? like the home/menu touch buttons lights up when there is notification? old carbon rom I was on had that option? I tried looking into all the options but could not find anything. Only thing I found was wake the device up when notification comes? I am so used to just looking for the light if there is a notification :) kinda miss that function.

I'd say with the UBER kernel this is quite the combination folks:

I know what we say about benchmarks and such, but damn this score is one to take notice of. It's 800 points higher than what I average on ANY ROM. BTW no scripts needed, so those asking about OKJ I really don't think it's necessary at all. Less is more here with this ROM.

Use 4.2 or 4.3 Dialer instead of 4.4 version

Hey Guys,

Is it possible to replace the kitkat version dialer with an older version, 4.2 or 4.3? I don't like the new dialer. I have tried just removing the dialer.apk in the system folder and installing the older version to no avail. I would try to cook an new rom but have had no success thus far in getting one to work. Rom development is not my strong suit. Does anyone have an easy way to install an older dialer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alkspo:
sorry for the noobie questions but does anyone know how to disable the camera shutter sound? my sisters beeb asking about that and i dont have the phone to browse through settings to look for that option

thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danishdish:
Very easy. Use File Manager. Make sure you have root access enabled in File Manager. In File Manager, go "System" ... "Media" ... "Audio" .."UI" and select the "camera_click.ogg" file. I would archive the file by long pressing on it, but that's your choice. Then, you can delete the "ogg" version, but you'll still have the original version archived. Then you will have a silent camera. Good luck.

All my media players except power amp and mx player can't play music via Bluetooth. Pandora only plays commercials via Bluetooth, just not the songs. Anyone know what this is about?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darcys:
At first I did not change the permissions but tried what you suggested and was able to get the dialer somewhat running. The contacts installed just fine. I can dial a number but the send/dial button will not work or place the call. I can call someone if I click on their number in my contacts but can't hang up the call as the screen with that info doesn't show up. So I can't mute, hang up or use the dial pad while in a call. Is there another part (apk) of the dialer/phone that I might need to install?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avbluestar14:
Still issue with Spotify and Pandora, I just noticed it only stops playing at the home screen, even when I open an app it continues. Is it cause I'm using Google Now? Also, whats a good kernel to run with this, ubers the only one I can find and when I install, I get android phone force closing...it worked in the 2/28 rom, so :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
They should be coming up now.

Never heard of it, but I'll look it up.

Try replacing your gps.conf with another 4.3/4.4 rom

Sadly no, unless of course someone reversed engineered the app. I don't know anyone that would do this.

System.ui is interrupting the audio stream.

You can't do that lol. The dialer is hard coded into the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] simon21:
Same problem with same kernel here. I had to go back to 2/28.

I might go back to 4.2.2 since I don't see much difference and it had the breathable led notification

Otherwise, pretty good rom

Loving the 21 build so far. The ROM is a bit snappier than previous builds and liking the inclusion of more customization options, though mostly cosmetic in nature. However, I'm kinda getting the feeling that my phone is charging a bit slower than normal. (That, or I'm realizing just how much time and battery i'm spending on just chatting with peeps on Hangouts while charging :p)

Either way, this ROM flies, specially more so with UBER added to the mix.

Moved to Carbon from Jedi. Carbon looks like an excellent rom. I have my dummy hat on and cannot figure out how to add another desktop page? Also is there a messaging app or is hangouts the new way to do things?

Great Rom by the way just upgraded to KK so far nice and really smooth. I was wondering the same thing with sms, I found the setting to select the default SMS app and it only gives hangouts as the only option. not a deal breaker, but I was used to using one for txt and the other to chat.

Help me out?

I've been using the Feb 21 nightly for the last month or so. super smooth daily driver. Had to set the governor to Performance in trickster mod to deal with lag issues. been fairly responsive ever since. Battery life is great still. drains quickly with gps or bluetooth activated so only use those when it's plugged into the car charger.

Any major reason to update to a recent nightly? Has the video camera issue been fixed? I've got the video camera working in 720P but still have a 3-4 second delay before it will record.

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
No. The same (about camera,of course).Upgrade YES. I'm testing right now. Weather widget (cLock) cause the google launcher to crash. Message popped up. Installed "Nova". Now works. No problems with other stuff. Haven't tried BT yet.

P.S BT works. Can't find "POWER/REBOOT" button icon to add to "Quick setting" menu. "PIE" and "Slim" widgets have it,btw. Battery life is really good.

So far everything works but waiting to see if the phone would start to overheat. Happens to my phone all the time after Kitkat has been installed.

Maybe, but I had have the same problem with an old one too.I've got a new one a week ago. This is no more an issue with the latest nighty release. 2 days w/o any problems/bugs. I think this one may be called a "stable" one. I only notice an one weird bug(?) with a "free memory" numbers on the RAM bar goes over to a negative "-" after the bar gets full. I think this is the application bug. Not a biggie.

Wondering if we can get BLN Notification added as a feature? I am not sure if its kernel option or can this be done on ROM. But that is very handy option as you do not actually have to check the home screen for messages. I used to have it on Carbon I believe. Here is the video of what I am talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMIRU1dQgvA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
BLN support has been dropped since about 4.2. It is a kernel feature and is loaded early in the boot process, but it interfered with the vibration module initialization process. Basically, it was hit or miss whether your phones vibrator would work after a reboot.

tl;dr It will not be added any time soon, if ever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
It's should pop up on your lock screen. Just enable in messages setting. Quick response/wake. You can received and send messages from the lock screen. Don't forget to turn off profile.

Turn "ON" an active display (will have a small impact on a battery life). You will see all notifications even before going to lock screen.

Latest nightly 4/07 works flawlessly,btw. Camera still is not working w/HD and doing FC in landscape mode.

Thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] me_is_rushin:
Well our phone is a bit dated so it will have trouble running newer games. This kernel is for 4.4 and allows you to overclock so your cpu and gpu run faster and might be enough for some games, but will drain battery more.

Bluetooth Audio

I have been running this ROM since 01-31 nightly version was posted. I was having a couple of issues with navigation/maps, so I updated to nightly yesterday. Since then, bluetooth is not working for Pandora or Slacker, except for the advertisements. I saw someone else posted about this, but didn't see anyone reply with a fix. Anyone have an idea? This ROM has everything I need, and runs like butter - so I'd really like to know how to fix this one issue.

Also, on the last 2 nightlies, the AOSP keyboard crashes every time I use the swype-like feature. Not a big deal, since I use swype anyway but thought you'd like to know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nomoney4me:
I've been posting the bluetooth problem for the last few ROMS. It seems that all the roms have this issue EXCEPT Alpine. Let's hope a savior comes by and fix it for all the other roms. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
BT sound is choppy even with a call (04/07). Swipe is ok now but didn't type anything. Just swipe (04/09). :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
All these bugs are really keeping me from updating nightlies or at least keeping them in favor of older more stable builds . So far, the 3/26 nightly works perfectly for me compared to the newer builds.

Anyways, has anyone noticed a slight notification background glitch that happens with custom themes when the notification shade's background is transparent? After pressing certain QS tiles or rebooting, the background goes to black and stays like that till you switch to another theme. Nothing important as the fix is easy to implement but I'm just laying that out there c:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
I think there was a Bluetooth fix for the skyrocket, I'll try it out with you guys.

What gapps are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
No gapps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
That's why.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
OK. Thanks. I prefer a longer battery life over Google services. Still using some application from gapps. Just don't need all of them. Not a big deal. The ROM is great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
Use the gapps core by banks, doesn't get any better than that for battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
I have had before with this ROM. The memory usage on my phone is always hovering around 600-750mb (sometimes even "spills over" out of the bar range) with the gapps. 350-450mb w/out. "Carbon" has everything average user wants including a new OS. Thanks for wallpapers,btw. They are really great!

:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
To be honest, banks gapps gave me a significant increase of battery usage as well as about 500-600mb of RAM usage as a result. I prefer dhacker29's gapps due to less RAM used overall and better battery life with my experience.

My max for dhacker29 gapps also about 500mb RAM with PowerAmp and ViPER active but doesn't exceed that amount with those off.

Hmm, not really too sure. Sounds on our GSII are pretty low compared to newer handsets when it comes to the external speaker.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
Hardware seems works OK. The sounds with the stock ROM are very loud, but after flushing to KitKat the system sound sets to low by default and unlike with the stock rom there is no option for "System sound" to adjust. I kinda fixed by replacing some KiKat system sound files with the stock ones.
