Yeah, would be awesome if you could change it :).

Atm we have some small problems with it to work completely but it will be added as soon as we get it to work on 4.4 ;)

And copying files always worked for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Opuske:
Copying files worked from the beginning as i tested that myself when i moved my tomtom folder and a few movies totalling 6.5gb with the largest file being 1.8gb and no troubles at all.

I disable light on the software key but it still shows , anybody has this issue ?is there a way to Completely disable it ?

Just installed the ROM for the first time. So far everything is very good.

Can anyone tell me if Facebook contact sync is working?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] saskrider:
i believe unless you flash gustavo kernel that stweaks does not work with kernel included in carbon rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FPSUsername:
not sure if it also works with carbon included kernel, but it should work with dorimanx or gustavo's kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AndyCosmos:
Thank you , but the stock kernel does not support the tweaks ,will have to stick to stock kernel since the battery is very good .
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rebelpriest:
I did tried benchmarking the ROM with stock kernel ,Apollo kernel & dori kernel

I found the graphic drivers as really bad on stock n Apollo kernel .

Just due to that I was able to see 3d graphics hence scores went low

I cudnt find difference in battery life in all 3 kernels

I'm on dori kernel 10.43v64 which gives device extra 15 MB RAM to perform n better v3 drivers

Antutu scores for stock,Apollo n Dori

8800+ ,9800+, 11500+ respectively [MENTION=1348102]1200[/MENTION]Mhz

I have seen boot time increase due to dori kernel.is anyone using Dori faced same situation ?

Boot time : stock - 38 sec Apollo - 45+ dori : 70 - 90 secs.

3days old ROM - 1 SoD only

Battery consumption is high if you are on WiFi

A lil review ,hope it will help people to decide.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] himsin:
Installed this ROM about 20 hours ago. First impression was quite good with so many good features.

Facebook contact sync doesn't work in this ROM, you can take a look in slim's code as it is working fine in that (I'll have to search a bit but I can provide you the link of gerrit for this specific patch if you want).

I don't know why but somehow I do not get stable internet connection on this ROM. Apps take more than usual time to connect to internet after giving errors of "unable to connect". Most frustrating was play store, after several tries it finally connected to internet and when I tried to install an app, it just stuck with no progress bar. I tried removing google account, clearing data & cache of play store, play services and google service framework two times. I even reinstalled the ROM again and finally play store began downloading app (offcourse I had to press retry several times again as it was unable to connect to internet). This time downloading got stuck after 40% (network speed indicators were also showing 0B).

Finally I restored my slim's backup which working quite great at the moment but has very less features.

To be honest ROM seems to be pretty unstable for now. I would suggest to look into slim and omni's code base for s2 specific changes. This can be one of best ROMs if it gets more attention. Good luck
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rebelpriest:
Hey,

Buddy , All syncs are Running fine(Facebook, Google, Soundcloud)

Internet connection is Absolutely fine , no hiccups.

I installed the ROM on 18th & been updating with latest nightlies (Dirty Flash)

All Functions are fine /working.

Check Out my Previous Post for My lil review.

:good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rebelpriest:
Hey guys,

I'm on 7th July nightly i,s anyone of you peeps facing issues with phone vibration like me ?

Seems like its not working at all
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
everything fine here. try to reflash rom, perhaps something went wrong by updating rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rebelpriest:
Wats your say , a dirty flash or a clean one ?

As I have tried wiping cache n dalvik but still the same.

The update happened via carbdel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
try with dirty flash first and see if it helps

Do you use a custom kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FPSUsername:
If that doesn't work, try dorimanx or gustavo's kernel and play with the vibrator (haha sounds dirty :D) in sTweaks app.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
LOL, just a little OT question (sorry [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION]), do you use BLN? I'm trying to set it up, but i cant get it to work. Do i have to enable it anywhere else than in STweaks?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
This never really worked on any 4.4.x Rom for i9100 as far as I know. Feel free to tell me the opposite I'll give my best to make it working on Carbon then.

I think Omni will merge it soon (thats the kernel we track).

I'm still playing with some other kernels. Next to try is CM after Slim and SlimSaber. If I like it I'll maybe track it.

Thats no OT :P I'm cool with that as long as you talk about the weather (which is rainy here BTW :D).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Hold on, does it mean there is nothing to be changed within the Rom and I can just test the new kernel containing new mali? ?

I was under the impression there need to be some changes within the Rom code too to support newer Mali drivers.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] Yeah, its also rainy here, haha!

Do you know a way to get BLN to work? Do i have to enable anything within the rom?

And another question, i'm just curious, are we going to see SlimRecents in CarbonRom? I saw it in Carbon's Gerrit, but now i can not find it anymore. I really like it for multitasking.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
Not sure. I'll check tomorrow. Actually the commit you linked is for kernel only ;) Not sure though.

BLN is related to the custom kernel, normally there should be nothing enabled in the Rom first.

We currently focus on making the rom more stable and Efficient rather than adding more features. So it doesn't look good to get it added soon ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
Thanks, i will investigate a bit more concerning BLN. I will report back, if i get it to work.

Making the rom more stable is always preferable to adding features, but you won't be too busy with that, as it is nearly stable as a rock!!:D

I was just a bit concerned that it won't be added, as a lot of people don't like SlimRecents and prefer AOSP-Recents.

Keep up the good work mate! :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FPSUsername:
I only use BLNWW (this means steady till screen on without wakelocks, so the phone remains sleeping)

if you want BLN (effect and/or timer) uncheck BLNWW and set your preferred BLN settings.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheGeekyNimrod:
Came back to this after trying other KK builds for the i777. This is whipping all the others by a mile in my opinion. Ported it myself and running a custom kernel from those threads. Smooth, virtually bug free on my ems, and I'm maintaining battery life on par with the 4.2.2 official for the i777.

Very nice job with the builds. May add the port to i777 threads after my vacay next week.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
Well, BLNWW is already unchecked, still doesn't work. Could you share your settings for BLN?

At the moment, i just can test it by sending myself an Email with my Laptop, i' m using K9 on the phone. Perhaps that's the problem? Does BLN just show up for SMS ect. ? I have Active Display enabled as well, does this conflict with BLN?

calendar / agenda dis-appear after flashing Gapp minimal

Hello

I flashed 6-19_Gapps_4.4.4_minimal_signed. But I think that it erase calendar / agenda.

Someone could help me to "re appear" calendar / agenda application ?

Someone could provide agenda / calendar app that I can flash ?

Best regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] FPSUsername:
normal gapps package from slimrom contains it (I guess).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Hmm, what about simply installing from here?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
How do you make Flight Mode and Wifi being active at the same time?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
You gotta be kidding right?

..by simply turning on Wi-Fi after switching to flight mode?

Made my day, thx [emoji12][emoji2][emoji106]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
Well, i always thougt flight mode would just cut every connecting, so i never tried to turn on wifi while in flight mode :p

So, thanks you pointed me to that :good::highfive: and i'm glad you had a good day because of me!!:laugh::laugh:

Well, is there any custom rom without bugs? For CarbonRom for S2, IMHO, i would say they are not worth to mention, i use it as my daily driver without problems. So give it a try and report back if you find some bugs, [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] will take care of it.

About my BLN problem, it was ActiveDisplay causing it to stop immediatly, as it turns on the screen and so BLN stops.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nupity:
I'm asking if are there bugs because it's not mentioned in the post and I need to install a rom to my brother, and he just want it to work properly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
It will work pretty much flawless, also on long term, I only rebooted my device yesterday to flash a new kernel after 15 days!

Guess what, Mali bug is solved!

Wait for Apolo kernel 7.1 soon! [emoji12]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
It works, don't be concerned. Its very smooth, as it is compiled with sabermod and other optimizations, and it has a lot of options for customization. As i said, i use it as my daily driver and i wouldn't do that if it wasn't stable.

So, give it a try, if your brother doesn't like it, you could always flash another rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheGeekyNimrod:
Definitely stable enough for a daily. I've been running it non stop, wide open, pushing it (and so on) and haven't had an issue yet. As previous comment states, if he's not happy with it, there are plenty of other roms out there to suit.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
Everything is stable. Used it as my daily driver on my S2 as also on my friends S2 (he is not that tech related and can't live with any bugs). So in case you still can issue any bugs, just tell me. I will do my best to fix them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dr AM:
Flashed today build .. Everything good till now .. Will check how is deep sleep and choose to stay or leave .. But looks like I'll stay :)

I've got a problem. Every time after upgrading nightly my push notifications don't work anymore. E.g. facebook messenger, quizduell or any other app that uses push. Then I have to reinstall the regarding app over the app store.

Does anyone got the same problem or dies anyone got an idea what maybe causes the regarding problem?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Catscratch:
I further investigated the problem.It's only when using WiFi. Also on WiFi the icon stays red. E.g. the mobile data icon turns red at first and then after moment it is colored white when connection to Google services was established.

So my guess is, that connection to google services over WiFi is not working, but I don't know why.

Edit: it's only when using WiFi in flight/plane mode.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:

What happens if you turn off the flightmode and restart the phone ? Will the push notifications work again ?

Hello, i have problem (maybe). When i turn off screen, red light turn up. And sometimes the screen turns on randomly...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] dinos3:
Thanks man, problem is pocket mode (notofications on lockscreen), now works OK...

Sry customizations options is too large, so again need help...

[Q]: Why is the statusbar icons darker? In lockscreen is lighter...

Can it be light permanently (like on lockscreen)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xhitm3n:
because its translucent status bar in lockscreen u dont have a full black background, and in settings you have... so is translucid is like full transparent, and in settings it will be darker...

Hi Guys,

Are the new Mali and new r3p0 updates in newest Nightly included?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Catscratch:
If I turn off flight mode, push is always working. Without a reboot.

Only when using WiFi in flight mode, it is not working.

Even if I use WiFi without flight mode, it is working. But usally when I'm using WiFi, I don't need mobile data, so I deactivate it for saving battery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
Kk. Will tell the rest of the team if anyone knows why this happens.

[MENTION=4617274]SachsenPowl[/MENTION]: Not yet. But I'm going to do some tests with CM kernel (which already include the drivers)

It's the problem with whatsapp only. I updated 6 other apps and everything went fine. I don't know if it is rom issue or something else.

Anyways I am more worried about carbon nightly builds. According to new schedule new build was supposed to be up on Thursday yet there is no new build yet [emoji17]

New update out for download-finally !!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dudders007:
The recent releases were awesome! :good:

But i forgot to mention that the last item in the Quick Access Ribbon in the notification drawer is only half visible.

Its been so from a lot of releases.

Also flashing the update through the carbon updater makes Google Play Store unavailable in the menu.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rebelpriest:
So wat does this mean, should I not download n flash through carbon delta or should I go with standalone download via PC ?

Share if there any other flaws too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dudders007:
Try Whatsapp+.. It didn give any problems. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dudders007:
Have not tried it the manual way yet.. I usually updated using the updater and then manually flashed gapps again..

That used to get me back the play store.

Wil try the manual flashing now with the new release.

(Also i ain sure if i alone am facing this or every1 else as well)

...........<<>>..........

Even the manual dirty flashing removes play store..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rebelpriest:
Strange,I only download n flash the nightly via Carbon or manual but I never installed GApps. Dirty flash never asked for it.

.

Not sure why are you doing ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheGeekyNimrod:
Been running this ported on the i777 and have never had an issue with Gapps when dirty flashing a nightly. Can't use Carbon Delta obviously because that would do some messed up things to my phone, but always dirty flash through recovery with 0 issues.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] dudders007:
I flash gapps again coz ma play store disappears after the dirty flash of carbon rom using update or manually..

If i use an apk file to install store separately, it keeps crashing.

No1 else has this problem?

Hello Myself5,

When we have this bug fixed?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
I doubt this is related to the laguage. Do you use a custom theme ? If yes try with the stock theme. Also try with English selected as your main language to verify it works there. If not, try a clean install with wipe system please.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
Hey [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION], i just wanted to report two small bugs:

1. If you stop playing music while phone is locked, after stopping, the lockscreen is very bright, like brightness set to ultra maximum. I don't know how to describe it in a better way, see attached screenshots (first is normal brightness, second is "ultra bright" aftrer stopping music)

2. Persistence for XPosed doesn't work unfortuantely.

And, another question, as i'm just curious. How do like your new Z2? As we all have to think about a new device sooner or later, i think it would be helpfull to hear about the impressions of our device maintainer.

Thanks and regards!

P.S.: Latest Nightly runs very good !!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] deathbyte:
Hi Myself5

I Haven't custom theme.

Look the 2 files I uploaded, one in portugues and other in english language. When we switch the icon disapear.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
About the lockscreen brightness: I don't get this behavior, so I suspect it is related to xposed or to themes. But how do you stop playing the music? I don't see any music controls (play/stop) on the images you provided.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
Thanks for your suggestions. I don't use a theme, so thats not causing it. I also tried deinstalling Xposed, still got this behavior.

Now i tried with Apollo music player, and i don' t get it. Normally i use poweramp as standard music player.

So it must be the combination of poweramp and carbon rom, as i don't get this behavior when using poweramp on another rom.

About the screenshots i posted: you don't see controls as the lockscreen gets so bright after i quit playing music.

Perhaps you can try to reproduce it.

Start playing music with poweramp, then lock the screen by pressing power button.

Press power button again, so that lockscreen is shown with controls.

Hit pause button and just wait a bit, the kitkat music locksreen goes away and normal lockscreen is shown in 'ultra bright'.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] JavaScout:
Hi, people) Why isn't Art supported? Is that because of Art's beta-nature or does Carbon heavily uses xposed framework?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I see that after stopping playback in the lockscreen, the lockscreen changes completely - it stops showing the "wallpaper" of poweramp and reverts back to the original lockscreen wallpaper. Poweramp has an option to show the album image in the lockscreen. If you disable it, perhaps it will work. If not, I think it's an app problem, not a rom problem. The fact that you didn't get this problem with another rom doesn't mean it's a rom problem. Did you try multiple other roms and didn't get this problem in all of them? And were they all the same version (4.4.4)?

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

(@Myself5, please correct me if I'm wrong here..) Carbon does not use xposed by itself, only if you explicitly enable it. As far as I recall, some people reported that they use Art successfully on Carbon. I guess it depends on the apps you use.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JavaScout:
[MENTION=5630829]sreinst1[/MENTION]

Thank you)) One more thing, if you don't mind: compared to SlimKat, latest Carbon generates too much heat on my device... Is that just me?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Probably not just you. It all depends on what you do with the ROM - which kernel do you use, do you use xposed, which apps / services you run. I don't have such a problem with Carbon.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
1. Try with Google Play, else I would say it's Poweramps fault ;P

2. Damn then I need to check this again. I hoped I fixed it some weeks ago.

Regarding my Z2. I LOVE IT! It's fast as hell compared to my S2 and it features 3GB Ram (S5 for example has only 2 Muhaha). It is a bit strange compared to other phones (M8 not S5) because of all the stuff hidden under the flaps (but thats positive strange IMO). The S5 has these flaps to, and you need to open it to charge the phone (I mean the S5) which mean it's water resistence (30cm for max 5min if I remeber correctly) will get destroyed soon I think. Also the Z2 is WaterPROOF for 30min in 1m deep water and it has a extra waterproof port for a docking station (which I would really recommend) so you don't need to open the flaps all the time (but ofc you still can charge it over USB

port if you want). I love the Glass on the back and the front, even if it gets fingerprints often (because I'm using it very often) I can simply but the phone under some water hehe. The Camera picture quality is really nice too, you still see every little detail if you scroll really near inside the picture on the Full HD screen.

If you still have questions feel free to PM me.

Just for reference: I have a Black Z2 D6503 with nothing but a screen protector on the front and the back glass and I get my statement about the S5 from my own experience as a Classmate of me owns one.

Kk thats indeed strange. I'll check it as soon as I can.

ART actually does work (reported by some users) but we do not officially support it as there still can appear ART related bugs and because it is also not officially out of beta phase (as far as I remember)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gordon.shameway:
I tried with Apollo and Google Play, no issues.

Tonight i tried with Spirit Rom, as it is also CM based, and the issue doesn't appeare,too.

Tomorrow evening i will try with Omni Rom and CM.

Regards!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nupity:
What recovery is recommended for this rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
It's delivered with CWM by default but it's up to you to choose a custom kernel with a different Recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nupity:
I ment what recovery should I use to install this rom. My device has an old recovery (CWM) that probably doesn't support KK.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
Flash gustavo_s custom kernel then (or Dorimanx 10 or what ever has kk recovery) and then flash the rom ;)
