[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Yea recently i've had my bluetooth connection to my car constantly disconnect/reconnect every 30s until I reboot. Not sure why. I flashed back to 4.3 and no problems. Everything was running very well on the Jan5 build except for BT. (i was running the build before the new wifi/bt drivers)
[Galaxy S II General] Titus_Andronicus:
THANK YOU SOOOO Much!!

This is awsome. I will get CM11 back on my phone ASAP, and do this hack(?). This is sooo great. CM9 is nice and all, but CM11 is way better. Can't wait to get home and install it!

Do you have planse to incorporate this change into the ROM, or is this going to require this hack everytime an updated ROM is installed?

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

Somewhat off topic, can this CM11.0 be used with Android Wear watches? I see that Ingress now supports Android Wear. That has finaly gotten me wanting one. Untill now, I thought they were just gimmicky, but having Ingress working on a watch is too cool!

(ps anyone else play Ingress?)
[Galaxy S II General] Titus_Andronicus:
I did this hack, and it indeed fixed all the GPS issues!!

It was a little harder than it should have been. First, the built in file browser wouldn't even look in the root directory. So I installed my favorite file app (Asto); it would look there, but wouldn't right. So I tired Root File Manager, but it kept crashing. Finaly I tried Root Browser, and that one suscessfully copied the config file to the required directory.

Thanks agian Titanic_Fanatic!
[Galaxy S II General] avasguy:
Please, help!

I am glad you guys know what you are talking about, but I am very new with the Android system. If you would be so kind to explane, how and WHERE (what is exactly the "required directory") I have to install this GPS file, I would like to use my phone GPS too. Thank you very much. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] avasguy:
Nevermind

I figured it out, look in my tablet and found the exact location.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

But the GPS not working at all. Any idea what can I try?
[Galaxy S II General] Titus_Andronicus:
Here is what I think you need to do.

1) download the gps.conf.txt file that titanic_fanatic posted

2) rename the file to gps.conf.

3) If you downloaded the file to your computer, move it to your phone. I put it in my Download folder. If you downloaded it to your phone, you are good

4) install the "Root Browser" app from the play store

5) Using the Root Browser app, copy the gps.conf file.

6) Still in the Root Browser app, navigate to /system/etc

7) Past gps.conf. the system will ask you if you want to give root privleges to Root Browser, select yet.

8) Done
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
You most likely either did not rename the file, or did not set the permissions correctly. I have packaged this fix in an easy to install flashable zip. Just download it to your sdcard and flash from recovery to install ;) On reboot, turn on GPS and go to Settings -> Location, and ensure that the Mode is set to High Accuracy. Now, when using GPS, make sure that your WiFi is turned on as well, even if your not connected to a WiFi network. This helps with quicker positioning as our phones use 3 methods to locate you. If a satellite isn't available, it will try to position you with either Google's location information over your internet connection whether that be WiFi or data and if that fails, it tries to position you with the WiFi in the area which is why having WiFi on helps ;)

Thank you [MENTION=1795442]Titus_Andronicus[/MENTION] for your help with the instructions and my apologies to you both for the late reply on this one ;)

New build to come soon with these fixes included ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Titus_Andronicus:
I see I missed the "setting permissions" step

so

9)still in Root Browser, set the permissions of gps.conf to be the same as the rest of the config files (rw-r--r--)

Well, I just convinced Bell to give me a S5 for free, with a better, cheeper plan than I had, so now that I have gotten my SGH-I757M setup perfectly, I have moved on.

Thanks titanic_fanatic for all your awsome effort on this device!

On a good note, I have CM12 running nicely on my new S5.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Did you have to pay the in-store price still, or did they waive that too?
[Galaxy S II General] GrAt_On:
Whats up

Now that our contract is ending for most of us, what phone are you guys planning on getting? I am personally considering the Samsung Note 4 right now.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Sticking with flagship and going with s5
[Galaxy S II General] Titus_Andronicus:
I got a $50 discount over the phone with Customer Loyalty, then when my wife went to a store to pick it up, she got a further $50 discount, waved store fee, and a fee sim card (which I didn't need). We had to pay some sort of $35 activiation fee, which my wife then called Bell and got put back as a credit on our bill.

My wife also got a Note4, I think she only paid in the end $100. I tired to convince her to get a NoteEdge, but she didn't want to spend the extra money. That would have clearly made her the envy of ALL her iFriends!

PS, the plan is a special version of the family share

2 Plus phones

3GB shared data (we only use about 1.9 per month usually)

Unlimited anytime nation wide calling/texting

basic call answer/display/waiting/forwarding/conferencing etc.

$146/month

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

I am loving the S5 so far. I promply installed CWM, and CM12.

Love the waterproof, don't love the physical home button, or the new slightly lower location of the power button.

I considered the S5 Active, MIL-STD-810 is a sweet deal (vibration, shock, salt fog etc), but custom ROM support is a little sketchy, no pervision for Qi wireless charging. That sealed the deal.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Hehe, I too just did the upgrade. Bell put it on sale yesterday for Free so I walked in and walked out and only paid for a case ;)

I'm running carbon-kk right now and am working on carbon-lp for this kltecan. If you friend me on XDA here, I'll let you know when it's ready ;)

EDIT:

There will still be at least 1 more build for this beloved s2 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Titus_Andronicus:
I can't believe those jerks! They gave me such a hard time getting the free phone, then they put it on sale for free a couple days leter. Unbelievable!

can user roger sim after rooting

i followed all the steps here. have rooted successfully samsung bell s2 SGHi757m. i tried using Rogers SIM but its asking for network code. can someone please advise if i am missing anything? not sure if there's an option i need to check/click anywhere in settings.. any help will be much appreciated .
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
You will need to carrier unlock your phone. I've never actually done it, but supposedly the carrier is now supposed to offer a reasonably priced unlocking service.

Just looked quickly and it seems that bell charges $50 if you have an account with them that is not restricted by a spending cap. You also need to be at least 6 months into your contact :(

Your other option is to find an unlocking service. You pay them, they send you the code and you can unlock it yourself ;)

The second option might still be cheaper, but I can't remember the names of the services that offers used previously.

You can search Google for this and you should be able to find the posts about unlocking this device.

I don't remember if anyone ever successfully unlocked for free though :(

[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Welcome back!

So I exported the files to the library folder. The camcorder still dosnt work. Any ideas? Or did I do somthing wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
The camera and camcorder is working in my hellkat build. I tried camcorder both 720p and 1080p. Only issue I had is something is really crazy with my camera. I started with 65% battery, put the camera on burst mode (takes a ton of pics in a short time) and the battery drained to 0% instantly after like 5 pics and the phone shut off. So i tried just taking pics, one after anothe old fashioned way. Same thing.

Just wanted to share.... I am not sure my direction with hellkat yet in development, so I'd like to help here as much as possible to clear out the bugs too as I can.

Wellcome back Strange Peer!
[Galaxy S II General] big_biso:

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

SIR can you provide a flash-able zip of only kernal of this ROm.......i want only kernall plzzz
[Galaxy S II General] sandhu6698:
GREAT WORK TF .....m now a fan of u

Sir want to ask only one thing that when we pull notification bar down why its so lazy nd takes time to come dawn ...speed of animation is slow...ny suggesstion to Fix it???
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
That's due to disabling hardware overlays. You can untick the box in developer options, but the result is unfavorable
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
like rukusx7 said, it's because of having to disable the hw overlays. If you enable them, you will have a screen flicker, but the pull down will be more responsive. This is the trade off right now because screen flicker is more annoying than slow pull down.

For your other question, I do not have time to deal with only the kernel. Those packages are only released when there are fixes in the kernel. Not intended to be used with other roms.

Also, you must give a new rom 2 to 3 days to settle in after flashing before you even think about measuring battery. Remember that every time you flash a ROM, the media scanner must run to store information about all media on your phone. This uses allot of battery and is why it will take 2 to 3 days to settle in.

Have you tried rebooting into recovery and wiping dalvik cache? That should help with the force close. I'll look into the missing settings too ;)

For reboot to recovery, just enable advanced reboot in the developer options.

[Galaxy S II General] bitwarrior1:
I gave this a try and it was super smooth, no apps crashed. The problem with bluetooth crashing whenever it connects to the car still persists from the later 10.2 builds so I had to uninstall. Big thanks for an otherwise awesome build!
[Galaxy S II General] sadowling:
I've been on the build for a few hours now and everything seems to work great. Recorded video at 1080p, no issues. I have also unchecked "Disable HW Overlays" and things are responsive and looking great. No screen flicker. All apps working as expected so-far (YouTube as well).
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Have you sent me a log of this yet? What kind of car, I have a spark and am able to connect Bluetooth with Chevy mylink. Tested using poweramp.

Video works for you? Cool, it did not work for me ;)

with disable hw overlays unchecked I was still getting graphical glitching on pages where flash was present, but my flash is not enabled by default. The glitching would occur when I opened the browser's menu or pulled down the notification shade. Those events usually caused a reboot. That's where to look out for the bugs right now.

I've had slight glitching elsewhere too such as turning the screen on/off mistakenly in random quick succession button presses. This usually resulted in black screen, lit up capacitive buttons and a reboot shortly after

Those are the two scenarios that I've experienced, let me know if you ruin into others.
[Galaxy S II General] sadowling:
"...flash is not enabled by default."? I thought for Kit Kat and beyond that flash was simply not supported (or built-in at all even)? In any case, I have not otherwise found (or altered) any switches relating to flash, but did notice I can't render any web page flash objects in the built-in browser. I do not appear to have any issues with pulling down the notification shade though. Phone is working slick as snot with respectable battery life. I did partially experience the on/off black screen glitch once, but it did not result in reboot. I simply waited a second or two, pressed the power again (lights went out), waited a second more, pressed power again and...up came the lock screen as usual. Great work once again, looks like a daily driver for me.

and emailed you my bluetooth.conf files. It's a 2011 hyundai genesis coupe. Bluetooth connects, transfers contacts and will occasionally play audio over BT. More often though the app trying to play audio crashes bluetooth turns itself off and won't re-enable without reboot.Bluetooth is less crashy under 10.1 and stock though with 10.1 I need to force close audio apps that freeze then they work after restarting the app.

Would be glad to reinstall 11.0 if you need a more updated catlog

e: just remembered I took that catlog down as it had my bluetooth contacts listed in it. Will email a fresh one from 11.0 tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] TheCrazyDirectioner:

Sorry if this is a stupid question but does this mean that you can now install apps to or move apps to the external SD card?

I didn't specifically test this, but I'm inclined to say yes. I was having difficulties restoring a backup off of my sdcard which is what prompted me to patch the init.rc. The app can now restore from my sdcard and I assume you can install/move apps to the sdcard as well ;)

1. When you open the stock "Browser" app, on first open it crashes, and then after you open it again it's alright

2. Sad to say but the battery life is really really bad, even so to say that i have all wifi stuff closed and on airplane mode(even tried lower the cpu usage"

3. even at the peak CPU the rom is still extremely slow (in mind that i did a factory reset)

PLEASE ANY HELP FROM ANYBODY WOULD BE GREAT!!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Did you try changing the governor to ondemand and io scheduler to deadline?

EDIT:

Also, uncheck scanning always available under Wi-Fi settings. This causes serious battery drain
[Galaxy S II General] sadowling:
Wow, my experience has been quite the opposite. LTE enabled, WiFi on during sleep and my stats are on par (or better) than previous ROMs. Averages from GSam are:

Battery Life: 21h 36m (8h 37m Active)

Screen On: 1h 28m (1h 10m Active)

One thing I did notice (and I think I recall this being covered earlier (but I can't find it right now) is that the checkbox for "Disable HW overlays" does not appear to survive a reboot...any way to fix this? Otherwise ROM has been A1 for me.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Are these suggested Governor/Scheduler settings if the defaults don't workout for you? Or your go-to defaults as a result of testing? I have not tested any of the various combinations but am happy to make use of results if somebody else has. :)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I get the best balance with those settings between performance and battery.

For the disable hw overlays, I have a script running in /etc/init.d called 91fixoverlays which disabled then on boot. This had been necessary to stop screen flickering and other graphical glitches. Recently on other roms I've been able to enable them again for a performance boost with some other side effects like random reboots which mostly occurs while using the browser.

If you want to try changing the first line in /system/lib/egl/egl.conf from

0 0 android

To

0 0 adreno200

Then reboot and enable the hw overlays in dev options. Try this out for a while and if all is good, you can remove the 91fixoverlays script in /etc/init.d to stop them from being disabled on boot.
[Galaxy S II General] sadowling:
Done, thanks! I'll let you know how it works out.
