So this is why my battery life on the latest nightlies is so bad.. Seriously, on the latest 4 or 5 nightlies there are some issues related with telephony..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Hmm, don't think so cuz gprs stall is a plague were facing since good old gingerbread days :) it's more a traveling issue when your connection is handed over to a different cell tower, switching to 2g while moving may reduce it.

Hi [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION],

Thanks for all the hard work on maintaining this ROM for SGS2!

I have one question though. Would it be possible to post short summary for every build you do? Nothing big, just a few lines of highlights and major fixes.

As there are few people posting here, sometimes, there are almost more builds than posts in the forum;)

Some guys including me use the phone for a job, so I usually don't want to flash new build blindly. I want to know what has changed there first and also preferably wait until there are some reactions from the more brave guys than me;)

Short info about every build here from our maintainer will be really a huge help.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
You can use the ChangeLog: https://carbonrom.org/changes/

(seems to be offline at the moment)

That's the best we can provide.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johny.mnemonic:
Thanks, I know about changelog;)

That is always my last resort option, if there are no reactions for new builds here.

I am checking it at least directly before flash, but I am not the maintainer nor programmer, so it's hard for me to figure which parts of changelog are relevant to our device.

I also believe, there are changes from upstream, not visible in changelog.

And last but not least, changelog is sometimes not working;)

Having short 3-5 lines summary for each build here, from the guy who knows our ROM best, and who is actually doing these builds, would be really awesome and helpful.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
We have a changelog for this:

https://carbonrom.org/changes/

:P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johny.mnemonic:
No you dont;)

Please, be a man and admit you are too lazy to do this:)

You are already doing more, than anyone can expect from you, so it's perfectly acceptable, if posting about new builds is not what you are willing to do, but don't try to fool me, that build summary is the same as ROM changelog.

These two things are not even intended for the same audience. Changelog is for developers, summary is for users mate;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheGeekyNimrod:
Wow, really? Way to guarantee it won't happen for ya now. Rude much dude?

Learn to read the changelog. It's not hard. If you're that worried about new builds screwing up your phone or something because of work, then why run custom firmware at all?

Seriously man, [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] IS already doing more than anyone and you should just be grateful for that.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
[MENTION=5315289]TheGeekyNimrod[/MENTION] is totally right :P. And to clear the situation up. It's not me who compiles the builds. It's our jenkins setup (which includes the servers of 2 of my friends, my PC is not in it as my wifi would screw up stuff). And it's not me who decides when to build, it is on a specific time range. (Twice a week). Our changelog is not that hard to read. Just invest like 10 min and you get it. And a changelog says what is new in the build and or changed. So does our changelog. It includes EVERY change made to our ROM. We have internal rules which say that every commit message should be understandable. So this should defenelty be doable for you :P So here I don't see any need to summarize all the changes again inside this thread, as I'm also way to lazy to do this, neither I got the time for it. I'm not only the S2s maintainer (which is quite a easy job) but also the Z2 maintainer and Z2 Custom Kernel Dev. Additionally to this, Users also are impatiently waiting for Carbon based on Lollipop (honestly, so do I). All this is just a hobby. I still go to school (I'm only 16) and need to learn for exams. So, either you learn to read the changelog, or I'm sorry for you, and you need to live with it. :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheGeekyNimrod:
Well gee, now I feel old :eek:

I didn't realize the majority of Carbon was done by Jenkins. I compile and build the ones for the i777 on my personal laptop. I'm on the wrong end of this game :p

Calm down please.

I haven't said any single rude word, everything was with smiley's and I first thanked [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] for his work for us.

I am running custom firmware, as the original one sucks hard. I want to have something stable, fast, with features I use everyday. That's what only stable versions of custom ROMs can deliver.

I am here at XDA since 2006, I never used original firmware on any of my previous devices and don't regret it.

My moto is "No risk, No fun", so I am not afraid using "nightlies", provided I have some feedback from other users and good information from the guy building those builds.

I completely understand [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION], this was by no means a demand, or request. I was just politely asking, if it was possible for you. Simple answer "No, I don't have time for this" would have been fine with me.

But thanks for explaining how it works.

I thought you are the guy gate-keeping git branch for SGS2, creating builds on your PC, testing those successful and if they are fine, then submitting them to download section. Obviously I was wrong.

Here is a motivation of my question:

The main reason I was asking is, that with all my previous custom ROMs, maintainers always did post about new builds, so I was used to it, and didn't understand why you are building new builds and don't post what they contain...

I don't have issue with learning to read changelog. I work with git in my job every day. I am just an sys admin, not a developer, so lot of things I have to search for to understand what they are related to.

Moreover, when someone is upgrading say once a month, getting through changelog means reading hundreds or commit messages with good chance that 80% of them are unrelated to our device, not delivering new feature nor fixing important bug. Most of these are polishing and adding support for new devices.

It's extremely easy to miss important changes in that amount of commit messages...

Anyway, now I understand, that you are not building these builds, so you are also not aware, what exactly changes in each particular build. It will be lot of work to actually find it and post here. Got it.

Thanks again for being our maintainer and good luck with your school duties!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheGeekyNimrod:
A smiley doesn't take away that the post came off as rude. You didn't say "hey stupid" or anything, but the tone of the post was poorly done. That's what I meant.

Guys, you're going off topic. I'm watching this thread to stay up to date to ROM related topics. And everytime my tapatalk tells me something is new. ;) But it's just ot discussion.

Maybe your right and maybe you are taking it too serious man.

Myself5 was sticking his tongue at me, which led me believe, he is joking, so I did too. Maybe my English is not good enough to express it well.

Your right, sorry for that, but it definitely started ROM related.

To get back to the ROM, do you guys know how to configure "Carbon Updates"?

Whenever there is new build it is constantly notifying about it and there is no way to dismiss that notification.

I like to get notified when new build is up, that's great, but getting that notification again and again is a bit annoying.

Would be great if the check interval was configurable (I.e. once a week) and if it notifies just once for each new build.

Hey, can anyone provide a link to which gapps are meant to be used with the latest nightlies? I mean, many things have changed since "July 07 2014" which is the latest one provided at https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=10238 and my little contribution to what johny said is that I come from the XPERIA forums and it was like he says, this is what he meant http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45710450&postcount=2992 "Hey, we have a new build, we mainly changed this and this and that, if you want more detailed info look at our changelog" and that's it, nevertheless, I got used to the only-changelogs method used here, even tho I too would like it being like johny.mnemonic says.

Peace out!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I use pa gapps (micro version): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15801
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phenomzye:
Will try them!

We've been through around 3 nightlies and this ^ is still happening, what did the developer touch on com.android.phone? I use SMS quite a lot and this forceclose and signal lose everytime I send one is just..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] firtvid20:
Since the latest update when I'm doing a video recording on the camera the exposure seems to be locked as soon as I start recording. An example is when I start videoing in a dark room and point the camera outside, it will just look like bright white everywhere. Anyone else having this problem. I'm going to go back to my last nandroid until this gets fixed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CrazyKarl12:
Do you still have i9100?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
Yes I still do. As I'm focusing on my Z2 tho you will often see [MENTION=5630829]sreinst1[/MENTION] replying any questions. He is also part of the team and owns a S2 too.

BTW: next time just mention me rather than quoting :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phenomzye:
Guys.. I lost count of the builds we've been through and this is still happening, I have no idea what the dev(s) have touched but sms is broken.

Send an sms, this happens

Immediately after tapping "ok", loss of signal

and then signal comes back after a few seconds. Already been reported twice by me, and confirmed by a third user some pages back in this thread, zero attention given :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CrazyKarl12:
Lately cyanogenmod is so buggy after releasing M10/11, and your problem is one of those bugs, 2nd worst bug is the theme engine bug and etc..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phenomzye:
Oh so it's a CM/source related problem and not a Carbon problem, which means that Carbon team can't do anything and we have to wait for CM to come up with a solution?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CrazyKarl12:
The answer is definitely yes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I used to have the same problem in Carbon. But after a clean flash, it no longer happens. I am using the Nov 6 build.

And, in case you don't know:

- Even though the SMS app crashes, it does send the SMS.

- If you like, you can use Google Hangouts as a replacement for the SMS app - there's a setting there for that.

A clean flash should fix this problem for you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phenomzye:
Nov 6 nightly here too, and it's a clean flash (had to try that because I was sick of it happening) and had no luck, first thing I tested after clean flashing and without installing any app was that, and it was still broken.

I do know that the SMS is still sent, that's why I haven't stated any issues with it not being sent, and.. I would use Hangouts/Messenger (issue happens with the new google messenger too) but they don't have a key feature used in my country (filter unicode characters so you don't spend more money than the needed) and they don't match the current level of messaging app, for me. (personal preference of course) It's a shame, Carbon was working flawlessly until I encountered this :(

[MENTION=5525441]CrazyKarl12[/MENTION] Do you know which one was the latest CarbonROM build without this bug? or do you [MENTION=5630829]sreinst1[/MENTION] ? I just remember this started to happen somewhere around october.. I pay internet per-MB so downloading all october builds and trying them is not an option for me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Can you post a logcat after the SMS app crashes? You can get a logcat either by connecting to a PC or using some Play Store application such as Logcat Extreme.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] firtvid20:
[MENTION=5072135]Phenomzye[/MENTION] I'm running the 20141005 build and it's been mainly stable for me (no SMS or signal bug). The version afterwards seemed to muck up some features.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phenomzye:
Yep, I have downloaded the app, do you mean start recording the logcat, send sms, wait for the issue to occur and stop the logcat then post here? Or how? so I do it properly!

Thank you, I will give it a try.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
You don't have to start recording. The logcat is an in-memory buffer, you can run the app shortly after the SMS crashes, and then export it to a file and post it (preferably use pastebin and post a link to it since it's a large file).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phenomzye:
I don't seem to find the "export" feature.. already made the logcat but don't know how to give
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Mine has a "save" button to the right of the four buttons in your screenshot. The first time you run it, it should open the "super su" screen and ask you if you want to give system permissions to the Logcat Extreme application, did you deny the permissions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phenomzye:
I gave it the permissions (otherwise I don't think it could have recorded those +2k lines, I guess) No Save button anywhere.. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
There are several other apps that do this, you can search for them on Play Store. I don't know their names but I know they exist.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dany123i:
Hey, I was thinking of giving this rom a try but I don't like to flash roms very often (been on my last one for a year so far), is there a stable/release version of this? all i see in the download section are nightlies
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I doubt any ROM has a real criteria for "stable". In general, the nightlies of Carbon are very stable. Some people complained about a problem with the built-in SMS app, which I had too, but it got solved for me when I did a clean flash (someone else said it didn't work for him this way).

The Carbon team is now working on a Lollipop version. It can take a while until a working version comes out, and meanwhile the team will release one final version of KK with bug fixes. I don't know when this will happen, but you may want to wait.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dany123i:
I guess I'll take a good look at features and decide what i'll do.

Wait, you mean lollipop for s2 or other devices?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Both.

Got it ^_^, btw, any way i can change the black feeling of the theme to a more... light grey or something? I feel like I need to change the brightness to max to distinguish the interface details (my old rom on 4.1.2 had a light grey background with which i got used and enjoyed it a lot).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Myself5:
Carbon Supports CM Theme Engine ;) Maybe you can find a theme which will fit your needs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dany123i:
Hey, i think I've found a bug: changing the keyboard color scheme to blue (Settings - Language and Input - Android keyboard(AOSP) - Advanced - Color scheme) causes the keyboard to crash (Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped), it's something I can live with but i didn't know what caused it when i went though settings and changed a lot of things so it kinda freaked me out untill i got to a pc to google the problem (clearing the data on keyboard in applications menu solved it, found the actual problem a bit later),didn't know how much i depend on keyboards till now :D.

Also, anyone knows why i don't have Gesture typing (the swype thingy) on Romanian language or how to activate it? (on english works as it should).

Also, what's the name of the feature that gives a preview of the incoming notification when receiving (for example) a message when the screen is turned off? (I want to go though settings and move the click clock out of the way).

And lastly, I'm trying to connect to kies to restore a backup but it just hangs in loading, this probably has nothing to do with the rom but am i supposed to have usb debugging activated and the MTP device checked to do this?

Sorry for so many questions, i like to get familiar with my new rom :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I think you're referring to Active Display.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dany123i:
Yep, that's the one, thanks :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gohanSS:
I installed this rom last weekend, but I noticed it has some problems with internet connection while jumping from wifi networks: when wifi connection drops the mobile internet starts but when this is done too frequently sometime the mobile internet doesn't get connected and I need to reboot to get it back.

Also I am having 1 or 2 random soft restart every day.

Any idea what to look for?

Cast screen : do not has the option to find Wireless display (No options available)

digit 8 : seems to be lil broken while calling some one or Whatsapp text

Hello again everyone.

I'm having a strong battery drain and I don't know where it comes from. I left my phone at home for 2 hours more or less, I had it fully charged at 100% and left it without data or wifi on, it was just idle, then this is what I found.

here's a screenshot of the wakelocks tab from Performance, maybe here could be the answer

I also have noticed that when I put my phone on my pocket it starts to gain heat, without using it or listening to music or anything.

greatly appreciate any help!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Are you using Active Display? You may want to switch off pocket mode.

Where you left it for 2 hours can also matter. Did you leave it in a low-reception area? AFAIK, the phone's always trying to contact the carrier cell. The worse the reception, the more energy it will "waste" in contacting the cell. Try to put it in airplane mode for 2 hours and then see what happens. In airplane mode, the radio is off - so you have no cellular activity at all. Usually in that mode, you should expect 1% battery loss per hour.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
VBus present points to your phone is "thinking" the charger it's still connected, clean your usb port briefly.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phenomzye:
Yeah I'm using Active Dis, but always with pocket-mode related stuff turned off. I left it at home, there's always full-bars here, and I don't have any data being paid so it's always at 2G! I'll do the plane mode test anyways.

Oh no, those values are right, I fell asleep while charging the phone last night, after a normal charge the values are fine now ^^

Has this project ended? No new release since 1 month. I guess everyone focusing on Lollipop now.

I'm having issues with media and sdcard processes draining my battery at boot and sometimes even during the day. The only quick fix is using music database repair that can kill the media scanner process. I tried to disable the scanner in developer options, but still drains battery at startup. I had this problem with other roms before, but after killing the process it was fine, but in this case randomly the media scanner starts on it's own during the day. Any idea how to try to get around this problem?
