It might be the cpu boost, and there's already been new commits to address a couple of issues there.

I'll post a new kernel zip for you to try later this evening ;)
[Galaxy S II General] GrAt_On:
Looking forward to it!

Thank you :D
[Galaxy S II General] GrAt_On:
The kernel fix didnt work sadly :(

I have attached another kernel log as requested

Thank you for your hard work! :D
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
This one shows me that a spinlock occurred. I'm going to work on adding mutex protection to the touchscreen driver, but it will take a little time. The the same will be done with the touchkey driver, but that has already been done so I only need to cherry pick the commit ;)

Will let you know as soon as I have another one ready.

GSam Battery Monitor has an alert for battery temp as well. Been my go to app for monitoring wakelocks and hungry apps, so it's good to see I don't have to find another app just to alert me if my battery is too hot! :D

Props on the new features [MENTION=4859152]titanic_fanatic[/MENTION]! I'm just about to take the plunge!
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
I have exactly the same issue for like half of the year. new builds, new lean flashes - nothing helps. The phone suddenly just starts to lag as hell, in a minute notification bar dissapears (I suppose that's where SystemUI crashes) and in a minute it cames back again and the phone is fast again. Also i noticed it prefer to happen when i haven't restarted my phone for a qiute long time, for a day for example. Oftenly it is laggy when i am just waiking up - so every time like this i can predict "the phone will now loose notification bar". And it does. And when it back - speed restoring. But it can do the same again ina few minutes. But if i restart the phone - it will be fast and won't be loosing notification bar atleast for many hours... that's my observations.

I am currentky at 20141005 build, clean flashed.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
This is part of what the new input boost does. When you touch the screen, the cpu will boost for 1.5 seconds making the operation smooth.

For the notification bar, after it happens take a logcat so that I can see what's happened add I haven't had this issue yet on my phone. The instructions on how to take a logcat are in the second post.
[Galaxy S II General] GrAt_On:
thank you

The random reboots ranomly dissapeared since about two hours ago! 0-0

I then tried overclocking which brought back the reboots, however it seems the phone is finally stable on the default 1512 MHz.

Hopefully the reboots doesn't return!

Thank you Titanic! :)

Edit: I spoke too soon :( Reboots seems to persist in this rom and the latest cm11 rom. I tried formatting internal storage and starting from scratch, that didn't work. At this point, the only thing I think that might be causing this problem is during the process of "factory reset" and "clean to install a new rom" in CWM, it displays this message when trying to format sd/ext: "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]". This is the only issue I can think of since it's from my side of things, it can't be the rom since no one else has reported spontaneous reboots.

1614

Running the newer version.

overall seems more stable its great. cant tell on battery life yet.

2 issues so far.

first, long holding an icon on the desktop. no delete circle/trashcan to drag it into to remove. once its on your home screen, no way to remove that i can tell.

second:

bluetooth

paired to a 2014 jeep cherokee

works upon first pairing, if i leave car and come back, BT repeatedly crashes until i delete the pairing at the jeep console, and then re-pair. seems to be linked asking for phone book and phone history syncing. if i deny sync i seem to get a couple of stops with the jeep before it craps its self again. then i do the pairing again and its happy-ish.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Which launcher are you using? I'm able to long press and delete in both launcher3 and Google now launchers.

For the bt issues, I'll do some tests with my roommate's spark later this evening to get some logs.

I didn't end up updating the Bluetooth drivers because that commit removed a lot of code from the Bluetooth driver in the kernel, but maybe that would help with this. I'll run a test build with the updated bt drivers from the s5 and see if that helps.
[Galaxy S II General] crdnick:
Remove bar does work in the google now launcher. It's just in launcher3 that it does not appear visually. if i drag the icon to the top, it does turn red and will go away (discovered after)

if i deny the BT access to the phone book and call logs, it seems to be stable.(er)
[Galaxy S II General] vickas:
speakerphone

I definitely should have posted this a long time ago, anyone else having problems with speakerphone muting the microphone? I don't recall ever being able to use speakerphone on this rom. Playback is fine, I can hear people on the other end of the line, but I cannot reply. Any thoughts? Really puts a damper on video calls, but microphone is still active when the headphones are plugged in so that's a workaround
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Just one question, do you use any voip apps?
[Galaxy S II General] vickas:
Not really. Even on a clean flash it's completely consistent. I do have Skype and voxer. Almost never use them though
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I used speakerphone today without issue. Please try either deleting or disabling both Skype and voxer then reboot and test your speakerphone.

Voip apps on kitkat have been known to hijack the microphone with the only solution being to reboot the phone. This may be what's happening to you since just having the apps installed they will still occasionally run in the background.

If it happens with the voip apps deleted/disabled, take a logcat after it happens so I can see what's happening ;)
[Galaxy S II General] crdnick:
did some more playing with the blue tooth.

in the older jeep, that really only does speaker phone and a single uconnect button to pickup and hang up. no real issues after a week's use.

its the new one that makes the phone crap its self. the newer uconnect system has features like voice dialing, and text to speech for incoming texts. thats where she crashes.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Was this an issue for you in previous releases or just this new release? In this release I added Bluetooth LE permissions in addition to the standard permissions, so the extra features should work. Can you double check that /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.bluetooth.xml and /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.bluetooth_le.xml both exist. If not, that might be the problem and is an easy fix you just need to add them, set the right permissions and reboot.

Let me know if you don't have one or the other and I'll upload it for you to test ;)
[Galaxy S II General] vickas:
was having no luck deleting voipish apps (Voxer is kind of borderline, as is fb messages IMO). long story short: got fed up and formatted my internal SD + factory reset from recovery. still didn't help, but i am going to try an ultra clean reflash and format internal SD again. probably on sunday since i will be too busy in RL for a few days.

if that doesn't work, i'm not really sure where to look but i will send along a logcat when i have a moment
[Galaxy S II General] grandmaster_b:
Great ROM TF !

No issues for me so far..... unless I overclock GPU to 320. I can over clock the cpu with good stability and the GPU to 300.

Are you able to add move to SD for apps on this ROM ?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Gpu oc is hard coded in this kernel. Other kernel apps that allow you to change those settings don't actually work since the kernel isn't reading the value you put in. Check with a program that will give you the physical stats like antutu. It will show you that it's still oc at 320. Cpu oc is user configurable though. As I add features to the kernel, I add settings in the advanced device settings to allow you to control them ;) the new version of the advanced settings will be included with the next release and has a new tab for kernel ;)

For apps to sd, just use a filemanager to set the permissions on /mnt/media_rw to 777 or all checkboxes checked under owner, user and other. This glitch was previously fixed and was overwritten by an upstream merge. It is fixed again in next release. Once the perms are set, you should be able to use the app info page (where you go to reset the apps data) and transfer it to sdcard that way;)

wrong thread
[Galaxy S II General] SaphRO:
i cant turn on the wifi. :(
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Does Wi-Fi not turn on or does it turn on but just won't connect?

In either case, I would need to see a logcat after you try turning it on.

There are instructions on taking a logcat in the second post and you can either post the log here or you can email it to me at titanic.fanatic.xda@gmail.com

Also, if you flashed over top of a previous version, it may be the cause. This version of the Rom needs to be clean flashed due to all of the changes since the last version ;)
[Galaxy S II General] SaphRO:
i can turn it on but it shows dark grey on the "on" icon. and it cant detect my wifi connection, the bluetooth is working and the mobile network. ive tried it with other roms and got the same results.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
When you flashed the Rom, did you use the option "Clean to install new Rom" or follow the steps to format /system, /data and /cache? (This would mean you clean flashed the Rom)

A logcat will still be needed for further investigation if you have already "clean" flashed the Rom. Make sure you turn on the Wi-Fi before you take the log and that should show me what's going on in the background ;)
[Galaxy S II General] SaphRO:
i followed your step clearly.Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then format /system, /data and /cache

it seems that i cant find my logcat.txt in my pc. but i can see it thru my phone
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
If using mtp (enabled in storage settings) switch to USB Mass Storage (UMS). When switching to UMS, you will see a notification after connecting your phone to the computer. You will need to click on that notification and I the screen that comes up, press the button to activate UMS.
[Galaxy S II General] vickas:
Tried doing an ultra clean flash (wipe dalvik-cache, clean to install, install carbon-kk--did not install gapps!, then formatted internal sd! How's that for paranoid! :D )

Took a logcat and made a call and confirmed that speakerphone is still not getting mic input -_- argh!
[Galaxy S II General] crdnick:
both bluetooth files are there.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
There will be an update soon, and both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi drivers have been updated from the s5. I'm hoping that takes care of some of the bugs with that hardware.

There are a few more things I need to add and test out before I release the new version though ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Nehomar_C:
as could add the Spanish language?

this rom comes with Spanish language? I have the official firmware and bring not Spanish, as could add the Spanish language?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Please don't post the same message in more than one forum. I get a notification for each one.

Look in Settings -> Language & Input -> Language
[Galaxy S II General] Screambloody:
La ROM de stock no tiene para ponerlo en español, si lo quieres poner en español tendrías que ponerle alguna ROM de titanic_fanatic

The stock ROM doesn't have Spanish language, If you want it in Spanish language, you can install any rom's titanic_fanatic
[Galaxy S II General] crdnick:
hows the coding coming along?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Been a little busy with moving and taking care of my business, but the good news is that in implementing sultanxda's new bln which is supposed to be more efficient. I have it half implemented with a few other changes too.

I'm hoping to get that building on the weekend ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'm developing for the moto g 2014 if anyone is looking to an inexpensive device to upgrade with dev support.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Passionly waiting for a new build! Hope it will fix periodical freezes and systemUI self-restarting.

Thank you, titanic_fanatic for all your work!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
New Build is Up!

New build is finally up with many changes. Please see the changelog below for the complete list of changes. Highlights in this build are the addition of the paranoid android feature Dynamic System Bars which changes your status bar to the same color as the app that your using. For example, if using gmail where the title bar is red, the status bar will dynamically change to red to match the gmail title bar color. You can enable it by going to:

Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Interface -> Dynamic System Bars (Tab)

From here you can enable/disable DSB for both the status bar and the navigation bar if you use the navigation bar as opposed to our capacitative buttons. I also spent some time integrating a new setting for DSB that allows you to set the Animation Duration of the transition, I personally just set it to 0 since I don't like a transition at all, but that's why it's a setting, you might feel differently about this ;)

Other highlights are updated GPU ion drivers, new Bluetooth/WiFi drivers from the Galaxy S5, new enhanced BLN driver, increase vmalloc size from 400MB to 512MB and the addition of S2S and S2W/S2S Sensitive. I have also removed the ROMStats/CarbonDelta apps as we don't use them and they just consume resources and battery.

I'm not sure if any of these changes will help those experiencing reboots, but so far, I have not had any reboots on the latest version where I was having a reboot maybe once every couple of days previously ;) Let me know if your still experiencing random reboots after flashing this new ROM.

Hopefully the reboots caused by the camera flash should now be mitigated as I increased the low power flash mode threshold to 60% from 30%. Again, let me know if this still causes a reboot for you when using the camera and please include your battery % at the time it occurs.

As always, remember to take a nandroid before you flash and Enjoy!

[Galaxy S II General] GrAt_On:
Thank you!

I've been running the rom for the past hour or so, and can confirm the reboot issue has been resolved!

Thank you for this great rom!
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Running the last build for half a day. Oh i've been waiting so long for it!:)

Ok, first impressions. (Clean flash)

1. For now got one statusbar dissapearance for a few moments (it is system ui restarting, rigt?), But that was during TitaniumBackup restore so maybe just occasional lonely glitch. (sorry for my bad english)

2. I may be wrong, but i fell like wi-fi showing me more lines (better connection) then before! That's really nice, becouse all previous year i have been noticing that other phones and laptops "see" more lines then my phone, when connected to the same Wi-Fi.

3. Bootanimation is still flashing. That's crazy, almost a year and this little problem can not be solved in updates! I still have to replace bootanimation manually... What's a problem, there was one nice good build back in the summer i guess, where the bootanimation was OK from the start and haven't flashed.

4. Carbon fibers -> Statusbar -> Custom system icon color.

Previously this setting allowed me to alter a color of ALL symbols in my Statusbar (wi-fi, network, etc.) but now it affects only time and date, others remains white!

5. I guess something wrong with Superuser rights becouse:

5a. Font Changer Full asks for Superuser rights, i am granting it, but program says "Write access for the system partition was not established on your device, make sure your device has NAND unlocked, bla-bla-bla...". Font Intsaller, however doesn't swears after granting Superuser, and make good look:) but still, after restart of the phone, the font is not changed so i guess it also haven't received superuser previleges.

5b. I am doing a packet restore at TitanimBackup, and when it comes across any app that i made to be Sytem app previously - the restore progress stops moving and won't go any further. No, Titanium is not freezing, it's still working, but just trying to restore the app forever. So i have to cancell the packet restore, restart the phone and start a new packet restore excluding this app. That happened 3 times with folloving apps:

Nova Launcher_3.3_final_by_infinity

,

SwiftKurei_4.4.6.275_2204_i

, and

xMissedCall v3

(plugin for exDialer).

5c. After Titanium Backup restore my governer setting become the ones that i set up previously: 192-1512, Ondemand/Deadline. Not sure what are this new ROM's best options, but just tried to change 192 to 384 and it doesn't let me. I mean, after going to home screen and returning to options - the lower level is returned to 192.
[Galaxy S II General] Jeffrey Chau:
Thank you very much for your work TF. I'm a newbie, so I'll post my newbie first impressions.

I flashed the November version of the ROM for the first time 2 days ago. I followed all of the pre-instructions and instructions. I thought the phone ran silky smooth. Apps loaded quickly, and scrolling between screens was fast and smooth. It was awesome!

For the January update, I installed it last night. I only followed the "instructions" (not the pre-instructions). The phone seems a lot slower now. A few apps crashed upon opening, and things like typing text messages and scrolling on the internet or using apps are a lot slower. If you'd like me to look up anything specific, please let me know.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Thank you guys for your reports.

[MENTION=2641407]TrueHD[/MENTION], for the boot animation, the one that "works" is the wrong size for our screen which is why I chose not to replace it. The one you download is for a screen 480x800 and ours is 720 by 1280. I've tried to fix the 720 boot animation, but nothing seems to work and I just got used to it. I don't even replace it with the 480 one myself ;)

For root, are you using the stock super user or super su? I've currently only tested with the stock super su and I haven't had an issue yet. I'll try super su to see if that might be the issue. If your having root issues, then that might explain your issues with TB.

Wi-Fi drivers were replaced with ones from the s5, so Wi-Fi should work better.

In regards to the icons, this is a result of my implementing DSB. The icons are all supposed to be the same color and change with the system bar color. It should allow you to change those colours if DSB is off, but I see that isn't the case, so in going to look into fixing that do that if you turn off DSB then it will allow you to customize the color of the icons ;)

Fonts seem to be partially working for me and am not entirely sure why, so I'll be looking into fixing this as well.

[MENTION=6362317]Jeffrey Chau[/MENTION], you said you followed the regular flashing instructions. Does that mean that you wiped your /system, /data and /cache partitions before flashing the new Rom, or did you flash the Rom on top of the old one without wiping? If you flashed on top of the old one without wiping it first, then try flashing it fresh then restoring apps backed up with titanium backup or similar app.

Flashing over an old Rom is called dirty flashing and is generally not suggested. Abby fine you have issues with a dirty flash, you should try clean flashing to see if that resolves the problem first ;)

There are apps that can backup your texts and phone book and titanium backup does a good job backing up your apps ;)

Also, have you changed any of the performance settings under Settings -> Performance? You could change the max frequency to 1890 for the best performance, and also in the performance settings if you Swype out the panel from the left, click on Memory Settings and choose the Medium preset ;) make sure to check the apply automatically on boot checkbox above the presets to make it stick when you reboot the phone and the same after you change the governor speed. That should help out a bit ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Jeffrey Chau:
[MENTION=4859152]titanic_fanatic[/MENTION],

Yes I completed a "clean flash" by selecting the "clean to install a new ROM" option using the Philz touch recovery. Based on the instructions, I skipped steps 5-7.

I also re-flashed the radios and Gapps. I hope that was OK to do so.

As you recommended, I also cranked up the CPU frequency to 1890 and set the memory settings to medium. I then noticed that CPU input boost was automatically checked off, but only set at 1134 mhz. So i unchecked it. I think this may have been slowing me down.

I then switched from the Google launcher to the other one (Launcher3). Now everything seems to be working very well! Very smooth.

One last point: upon signing into Google for the first time (after flashing and rebooting), my Google app crashed on both occasions (i reflashed 2x) at the very last stage. Not sure of that's important or not. All my apps recovered correctly though.

Thanks again for all of your efforts!
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
titanic_fanatic,

Hello! Big thanks for your answers!

But what about perfomance options? The phone can't remember swithcing from 192 to 384.

I don't understand, what's a problem? Why don't use wrong size-animation if it "works"?

No, i used ONLY and only stock. Nothing special. And had those issues with Font Installer and others. By the way, for past year many of your builds also had the same problem with Font Installer and i had to use some other font-changing app from market, but it had been taking so much time to find the one that finally work! On other builds, suprisingly, Font Installer operated without any problems.

What i did today: after your question i decided to install SuperSU from the Market and try it. After that, when i first started Font Changer app - the SuperSU screen poped-up, asking for Superuser permissions, and i have granted it. When i was returned to Font Changer - it was saying that it didn't receive previleges, etc - as always. BUT! When i launched Font Changer the second time, now it already HAD superuser priveleges and haven't asking anything. And i succesfully changed the font to custom!

But even after this, changing minimal clock from 192 to 384 in Perfomance menu doesn't work...

To be truthfull, i had this problem on every your build, if i recall correctly. TB just stucks at one place when trying to restore a system app.

Yes, i noticed that already in changelogs. Yes, they seems better now! This one changing is awesome!

Sorry about my bad english, didn't fully understand what you're saying... Well, i don't know how to check if i have DSB turned on or off. As simple as this - i just don't know where this option is situated:)

But even if it is on - shouldn't we be able to use both DSB and system icon color changing? Why, i guess it's a normal desire - yes, i want system icons to be green like in Androlid L (i guess it will be so loooong till we get one working Android L:silly:), but also i guess having DSB would be also nice. I'm not sure, have to check it, for now i haven't noticed Statusbar changing it's color according to any app...

Jeffrey Chau,

i also had the same problem as you with Google App stopped on first load of my phone after flashing, and logging into Google account. Anyway, as searching shows, it is just a search bar for Google - which i can use in regular browser, so i don't need this bar, i never asked for this anyway, so i just deleted this Google App through Link2SD, as many other unneeded stuff like PicoTTS, NFC, Exchange services, etc.
