Thanks. This one work for me and nice to have s2w, besides there are less governor option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kroniq:
is this normal?

referring to the awake portion.. not sure what is causing it to stay awake even when the screen is off. wakelock detector isn't showing anything useful. could it be the kernel?

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

sorry that I didn't see this sooner. I flashed UBER and all was well until I had problems with wakelocks. I tried your kernel but it either wouldn't boot, or it would get stuck on the boot logo so I flashed back. the version i'm using now is the UBER-NEWGPU-Android-4.4-Cl3Kener
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
What governor do you use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kroniq:
well I seemed to get the same issues with ondemandx and interactivex. I switched back to ondemand for now., i'm kinda curious as what the SAMSUNG governor does - I cannot find any posts on it.

I get maybe 12 hours of battery life with 2 1/2 hrs screen time. which doesn't really affect me because i'm either working or sleeping most of the time and hardly even use the phone anymore lol

edit: I reflashed the rom clean and the issue was still there. i'm pretty sure it might have something to do with okj clearing entropy while the screen is off. only thing I can think of. i'm gonna leave it up to the smart people haha. although I don't remember this being a problem on a previous carbon nightly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
Yeah, I've noticed that OKJ tends to crash my systemui regardless of ROM nightly build date with entropy on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
I believe that is the stock governor cl3 implemented.

Is there anything in okj that overrides the system? I'd suspect the build.prop tweaks.

Performance tab?

Hi guys I am on 5/21 nightly. Been dirty flashing it and ever since 5/16 I am not able to see performance tab where you can change settings.

Is it removed or do I need to clean install the nightly to get the settings back? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
5/21 with a clean install.The "Performance" tab is still over there. And still only one core online. Just FYI but Beanstalk sets both cores online with flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
Don't have any on SB (and have never had,btw) with 5/21.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ijaved:
Clean installed 5/21 still do not see the performance. It used to be in Carbon Fibers menu. How do you get to it jondoe ?:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kroniq:
ok so i'm glad it wasn't just me. gonna try this one out.. always get excited with a new carbon nightly comes out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
It's below "Dark" in settings.

so you can theme your phone? not to sound like a **** but you can always delete it from system/app or system/priv-app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jondoe27:
:rolleyes:

Yes, I know. But I can't even install a sounds packs. Where to get themes? There is only HOLO and nothing has happened after I click on "Update".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
To get performance in menu you need to enter the about section and tap on build number 7 times.

If you dirty flash you shouldn't have to do this.

Bad ROM file

Hello,

I tried downloading Carbon Rom 1.8 for my Hercules device but the zip file is broken. I tried installing it and it wouldn't install so I tried opening it in Windows and sure enough, WinRAR found an unexpected end of archive. I thought it kind of odd as well that it was about 50 MB smaller than 1.7.

http://carbon-rom.com/downloads/?device=hercules&type=release
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
Download the nightly... That's jb your downloading.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cdnron:
Yes, I know. I'd rather install JB because I'm looking for a stable build until the KK builds get more stable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
Download the last jb nightly.

Battery life so far

Although I haven't quite had a full day's use yet, so far on standby I am averaging 1% battery drain...PER HOUR. If that holds up that will truly be an awesome accomplishment for any ROM. Normally it's roughly around 3%. I am on a fresh charge so later on when the battery is low and I have plenty more screen time used I will post a screenshot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
This rom is optimized for battery and performance. I get about 12 hours with 4 hours of screen time and killing data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cdnron:
Thanks for the quick replies! I actually ended up taking the plunge and installing KK. So far I've only had an issue where Simpsons: Tapped Out will not launch but that also happens on other KK ROMs so I don't think it's a problem with the ROM itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
I'd think it's not kitkat compatible.

Camera/Other Comments

Just reporting that Gallery2.apk gives this ROM working video recording as with a few other 4.4 ROMs. The procedure is a little harder than just using TB to uninstall the current camera. You have to go into system/apps and remove camera, Google Camera and gallery apps. Place the gallery2.apk file in the system/priv-app folder, fix permissions and reboot. Now you have a full working camera.

This ROM really deserves Beta status, and if you throw in the camera fix it's stable. Certainly good enough for DD. I've tried 90% of the extras, turned them on and off, used themes and all my usual apps. Active display is awesome too. No FCs and everything executes flawlessly. Another huge bonus was when the stock browser synced my Chrome bookmarks. The stock browser would not do that on the other 4.4 ROMs for whatever reason. This is important to me since Chrome is still very laggy and sloooooow. Other web browser apps are fine but don't sync my bookmarks like I want or don't do it at all. Plus you can block ads on the stock browser.

The other surprise has been that ART really works very well, another first for me. The Banks' Gapps are essential as [MENTION=4802051]Somcom3X[/MENTION] suggested. It solved all my issues with ART. It's funny how so many defend PA Gapps and will swear by them. Far as I'm concerned, there is proof they are very buggy. Before anybody says anything, I first tried the very latest PA Gapps which are all supposed to be ART compatible. Well, they aren't. Least not in this case. I'm sure they are great for PA ROMs but for others not so much, that's my experience anyway.

Overall this been a surprise because while I thought this ROM would be pretty good, I expected some bugs too. I won't say definitively there are none but I have yet to find one. Carbon has really grown on me and become my favorite ROM whether it's 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4. I appreciate their developers coming here to bring us an official build. We really have a helluva development group here along with [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION], [MENTION=2993366]ThdDude[/MENTION], [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION], [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION], [MENTION=4436616]Rushing[/MENTION], [MENTION=5307816]soupysoup[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4128915]shalkith[/MENTION]. The race between the ROMs for me is close but this one just went ahead of the pack IMHO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Somcom3X:
Thanks, was hoping to get more feedback before changing it's status.

But this post changed my mind. Thanks for the detailed report.

It builds on a every other day basis. Can't add any fixes because of that as their are other devices it may break. Maybe a flashable zip could be made.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I will be very surprised if this ROM doesn't catch on very shortly. Once the word spreads and more people start using it, lots of users will be here posting. It's a little quieter with the phone's age & such in this forum, but still plenty of Hercules owners. This threads view count and reply count in one day is pretty good for a new ROM that's for a two year old phone.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

BTW I see there is a new nightly uploaded on the site, but the update feature in "about phone" says there are no new updates after latest check. Maybe it takes a bit before it will show up? Also is it better to update that way instead of flashing the whole zip as to not wipe out other system apps & data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
I am excited. I have been waiting for carbon kat to come out. Happy flashing for me in the morning. 3 roms in 3 days I think I need help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
In that case tell me which asylum you recommend because I am just as bad at times, especially with this phone. There has been so much to pick from around here it's insane plus I keep trying to find "the one", which I am happy to say looks like it here after I just about gave up on KK. The regular updates and stability are the two main selling points.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
So how would I do this? Flash ROM and after it boots run ART and then flash gapps?? BTW love the ROM and can't wait for the halo and other features to come... Nice work guys. Also I'm using the MIUI V5 as a theme and it's beautiful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
No just use the Banks Gapps and flash right after flashing the ROM like normal: http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2/1-16_GApps_Standard_4.4.2_signed.zip

You can run ART after first boot and everything settles in for a few minutes.

ready to see what else Carbon ROM will bring to this device takes time with these updates
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kroniq:
search google play for "cm 11 theme" and install on you like. go to themes and apply. you can choose different aspects of each theme to apply, instead of the old theme engine where you would only be allowed to set the entire theme. some themes include icons, sound packs, wallpapers etc. and some only include styles. play around with it some, you might actually like it. say you like the S5 TW theme, but you like the icons from holo, you can set either of the 2

Google maps navigation works fine on my phone. You have too many apps are running in background,probably. The phone didn't stays "ON" for a 12 hours straight. It "sleeps" too. I'm running GrooveIP w/data and WI-FI for a most of the day. Also using a "Swype" as default keyboard.

My "Dialer," always stops working so I can't go into contacts,history none of that

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
For those using Wildkernel, refrain from using v004 and stick with v003. The 4.4.3 nightlies seem to not cooperate with v004 too well and I'm about to test it on the 0620 one to test compatibility with 4.4.4.

UPDATE: None of the current versions (v001-004) of Wildkernel flashes successfully when 4.4.4 is installed. You'll have to wait for the kernel to be updated in order to use it but otherwise, the ROM works.

Hello again,

I have a few questions for you guys:

Can I flash 20140620 over 20140611 without loosing my settings, apps and data?

This update will also rewrite my current custom kernel, right?

Oh, and btw, why this does ROM don't find any new updates via Carbon Updates tab in Settings?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
-Yes you can but be warned that switching from 0611 to 0620 is a large-ish change due to KitKat 4.4.4 so expect some instability for a bit. Clean flashing the rom will never do this unless you install incompatible mods and kernels

-Yes it will overwrite your custom kernel so you'll have to flash it again along with the zip to keep it

-Hercules is still not fully supported by CarbonDelta but it is known to work so you may have to wait a bit if you want to see Delta fully functional
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Theopsis:
Thank you for the quick answer.

So it will be a temporary instability, or I didn't understend correctly?

Do you suggest that it is better to gradually update packages until I reach what I want?

moving from 6/11 (4.4.3) to 6/20 (4.4.4) might cause some issues, so that's why [MENTION=5362773]NonexistentParan0ia[/MENTION] had suggested a clean install. the instability might just keep causing bugs that'll annoy you, so a clean install may just be the way to go to avoid this headache.

i guess your other question pertains to nightly builds; just update when there is a change worthy of updating to. otherwise you can flash every new nightly and be okay.

hope this helps.

You need to use an app.

There are many options, some free some not. Popular ones include Rom Toolbox Pro, Titanium Backup, Helium (free), ES File Explorer (free), Go Backup (used to be free but not anymore?), etc.

In my opinion Helium is the best free option.
