I would like [MENTION=4420371]cyril 973[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5093014]razen_kain[/MENTION] to chime in, but I believe you can dump the contents of that folder after a clean install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
You can dump the contents of that folder and if they come back you will need to format your internal SD card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yep! Delete the fire out of those files. David knows what he's talking about! How long did we work on your phone before we figured that out David? About two months?

Yeah kill it. kill it with fire.

Hey guys, I decided to revert back to the 5.1.3. It was great for me. One problem, though. I have been back for about a month and recently I have been experiencing a good bit of battery drain associated with the Google Services.

[IMG="Screenshot 2"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxBu-R3XZSnVODhXSElOanpBSVU/edit?usp=sharing[/IMG]

I can't seem to find out what has Google killing the battery. Anybody have any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
I can't see those images, but I would venture a guess and say it's Google Search. That's always been the biggest drain culprit, and now it's worse since the implementation of G+. There are a few options to pseudo control it:

1. Disable all location access, including system GPS and the setting in the Google setting app itself. That will help a bit.

2. Uninstall search G+ entirely and your problem will go away!

Give the first a try for a day or so, see if it improves.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RamblingBarba:
I'm not sure what I did to the pics but :good: dumping G+. I never use it. Thanks Steve.

EDIT: I didn't have G+. I already booted it. I just dumped and/or froze some Google stuff including the Google Now browser. I will ride it out for a day and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] desteele:
Google Now is a huge one, because it's constantly waking to check where you are and what cards need to be updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
The only thing i hate about copy is i can't check the md5 sum. Can you or David post it?

For install this rom from shostock 3 is necessary update the recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pepe100:
Coming from shostock which recovery you recomend me for update. If it is possible could you post the link. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
This ROM comes packaged with a twrp based kernel so use twrp

Edit: is your phone the I777 or the S959G?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Just so we're on the same page, and you have an i777, SHOstock is JB, RR is Kit Kat. You have to be on a newer recovery in order to flash KK roms over JB roms, otherwise the install will be aborted.

My suggestion to you is simply flash one of Render's TWRP CM kernels - that will give you the updated recovery - then you can run RR.

I cannot find the display screen mode setting in this rom. I want more saturated color for my screen. Can someone please help me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Really liked the ROM but it don't like me for some reason sad face. Installed 4 times complete wipes and format every time but get freezing phone 4 or 5 times a day and loose all data and have to reset up entire ROM its just my phone for some unknown reason will try again with next port.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
When i installed this ROM i used the Google camera that was offered on the thread with the gaps that you linked to in the op. I just thought I'd try something new. I was wondering if anyone else has and if so are you able to record video? I can't. If i do, it freezes and i have to hold back to kill. After that it won't open. Gives me the message, "phone can't connect to camera". A reboot will let me open the app again. I CAN take pictures fine though.

I do have a logcat. If it is a known issue I apologize for my ignorance.

"... one thing I can tell you is you got to be free..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
The stock camera that came with the rom works for video recording just fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I figured it did. If all else i will rip the apk from the ROM and replace the Google camera. I'm going to try and make this one work first though. Just to see if i can

"... one thing I can tell you is you got to be free..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
Well if you do rip that send me a copy of it I'll see if I can get it to work with this ROM that I had to go back to none of the front video recording never works on any of these other roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Be glad to! But, You can do it yourself very easy. Just use root explorer and go into the zip, navigate to the camera apk. Long press it and select extract and it will copy the apk to a new folder and you can put it wherever you want

"... one thing I can tell you is you got to be free..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
It worked have front video recording working on aocp
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
I don't know why this is, unless it's another example of our phones - while being nearly identical - are different enough to cause these issues. Perhaps it's the gapps you use, or rogue apps I don't have installed causing the lockup, or some tweak in STweaks you might use that I don't?

I'm just trying to get a better understanding, because I've never had trouble like this on any rom, let alone RR. I'm sorry you're having them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
I used the gapps from op exposed possibly rouge app I don't know either but the look and feel of the ROM was great just don't work for me unfortunately
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
FWIW, do not try to use the Google camera and gallery from that thread linked in the op. Unless you don't mind not being able to record video with the back camera. The front camera video will work but not the back

"... one thing I can tell you is you got to be free..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RamblingBarba:
I dumped it. I moved over to Nova that was included. I think You guys are right. Yesterday I had double+ battery compared to the week before.:highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RamblingBarba:
Ok, without the aforementioned google apps I've got great battery. The problem now is defrosted Google Search because sometimes I like to use the speech to text for sms. When I do that I get several google services running, eating up ram and killing the battery.

GCM service

GoogleLocationManagement service

NlpLocationReceiver service

Dispatching service

Many times Google Analytics Service

also, it seems the play store ContentSyncService is running a lot.

The bottom line is Does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the speech to text so I can kill Google Search?

I could just type out the messages but I've got sausages for fingers and I use it when I am walking.

Thanks a ton.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RamblingBarba:
I may beaten this beast. I have frozen or deleted all of the google stuff I don't use.

G+

Google Now

etc.

I defrosted Google Search and went and killed everything in settings. So far the change that seems to yield voice typing and less battery drain was going to the blue G icon>settings>Speech output>off.

So far I still have voice typing and I have good battery life today. A quick check of the running apps still shows several Google Services running. If battery is back I guess I can live with that. It would be nice to have that RAM back from those services though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RamblingBarba:
This appears to be the fix for the battery drain for me. :victory:It may work for you too.

Nobody on here maintains this ROM...it is simply a port for another device. The original dev doesn't even provide updates for it anymore. And the last version was fine last time I ran it. Did you clean install it? If not, try that before you report bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RamblingBarba:
I used 5.1.5 for over a month without any trouble other than USB mass storage was wacky and didn't work. I went back to 5.1.3. for this reason. I can't find anything wrong with it(5.1.3) smooth, fast, everything works. Try a clean install.

original post from west:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RamblingBarba:
I have been using this ROM for over a year now and love it. Version 5.1.3 works best for me. Recently when Google Search updated and changed to Google App Google Voice Typing stopped working. If I choose it the screen changes and the mic shows up in the middle of the screen but it never "listens" or types. I restored a TIBU backup from version 4.1.xxx to 3.5.xxx. It works again with this version. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if so did you fix it to use the new update?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lowndes01:
great rom! 2 issues...

Hey guys I highly appreciate the effort put into this rom. I'm curious if you can get my front face hardware buttons at the bottom to illuminate. The buttons work, they just don't light up even after going into settings and telling those backlight icons to light up. Secondly, I like the slide to zoom when in the browser, like shostock 3 does. Anyway we can get that on here? Thanks

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

it also looks like I cant download videos onto my device like I used to...everytime I go to download a video it takes me to the flashplayer to view it instead of giving me the option to download it from browser or android system. And I see the phone takes a couple extra seconds to turn off when you put it to sleep by hitting the power button once. I notice I hit the power button, screen dims out, but you can still see a real low illumination of the screen because it takes a couple seconds to actually go to sleep. This rom is so close to perfect, would like someone to look into these issues for me. Thanks a bunch!

has anyone found a kitkat apk for touch wiz? and for the life of me I cant find a way to connect my phone to my windows 8 computer because I see there aren't any windows 8 drivers for the phone?????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
You can fix your backlight in s tweaks on the bln tab and uncheck the force back light off. I also had problems connecting to computer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
1) As David said you can tweak this in STweaks, if you use that app. The rom also has this function built into it, were you looking in the right place when you made your changes initially? System Settings > Resurrection Tools > Hardware Buttons > Backlight.

2) I don't know what to tell you about downloading stuff, I don't have this problem. Regarding the screen timeout, that's a feature that's curiously absent from RR. At least one user in the i9100 thread has pointed this out, so unfortunately that's something we'll all have to deal with until (if) it's implemented in a future update. I don't use Windows 8, so can't help you with drivers - but the old Samsung drivers (Google it) should still work.

3) Touchwiz is awful, and I don't know of a way to get it onto an AOSP-based rom.

4) Edge-to-zoom is a Samsung browser feature not present in AOSP; you'll have to look to a 3rd party browser that has that feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Regarding the Google camera, looks like these gapp makers are going to have to pull it entirely. Read an article today about N5 users having horrible battery drain from using the camera, due to the CPU ramping up too much when the camera is open and over-heating their devices. Google is said to be working on the fix for 4.4.3 (if not sooner).

Just stick with the camera in RR, it has worked perfectly for me (both front and rear mode).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yeah i discovered that nasty little bug the hard way. The rr camera works great but I'm still having some high battery drain. I'm wondering if i shouldn't try a different gaps. I'm not too worried about it. I mean it's not really even settled in yet.... I'll give it a week. See how it goes

"... one thing I can tell you is you got to be free..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
I've had absolutely no outrageous battery drain, I'm getting on average 0.8% idle drain during deep sleep. You can't get much better than that. As you know, it's all about controlling you're device, it really isn't hard at all.

I don't know what you need, but the minimal gapps have worked so wonderfully for me I flash them on everything now.

Good luck in your battery-drain quest!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
No, oddly enough, the screen off drain is great but when the screen is on I'm getting abnormally high battery drain + CPU spikes like every three seconds just sitting there with no apps running.

It's probably just some setting. I'll give it some time to settle. If it don't, I'll figure it out. It's probably some app or seeing misbehaving. Honestly i shouldn't have even posted that.

"... one thing I can tell you is you got to be free..."

Edit: this is what i mean by great screen off battery time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Nonsense, you're welcome to post anything here. Just because I don't have the same issue you do doesn't mean yours is less important. You know we're all here to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Well i believe i have figured out the battery drain problem. As i suspected it was an app setting. Using propmodder i had set the pm sleep mode to complete power collapse. This shut down all syncing activity in such a way that i would not get any notifications once the phone was asleep and when i turned the screen on the CPU was trying to "catch up" on everything while doing the tasks that i was also doing on the screen. Basically it was getting overworked once it was woken up.

So yesterday i set it back to normal and so far battery has been great. Screen on and screen off

Edit: not too shabby. I've been using the crap out of it all morning

UPDATED to 5.0.5. Thanks again to [MENTION=4144763]westcrip[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION].

This is a pretty big/cool update, one of the main features is the new Slim recents, which is a great new addition!

As a side note, does anyone have a preference in how these ports are delivered? I mean, do you prefer dev-host, Copy, or Mega?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] juanqui1893:
Cool!! I prefer dev-host, great speed of downloading
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Remember, if you flash this over 5.0.4 (which I did), you still need to flash a gapp package.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] juanqui1893:
Which GAPPS do u use?? Cuz I install the rom without gapps and no reboot by itself. Do I need to set in TWRP check MD5 before install??

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
I use the BaNkS minimal, the ones linked in the OP. Regarding the MD5, you're welcome to let TWRP check it, or you can check it manually before you flash, I have it under the rom download. Use a file explorer to check against the file you download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] juanqui1893:

- Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, etc) or on 4.2.2 TW based ROM and NOT on 4.1.2 TW based ROM

This says on i9100 thread, im on 4.1.2 based, I think i need to install other rom based on CM and then install the rom, what do you think?

Thanks for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
That's just to get the KK recovery. If you're still on JB, you need to flash KK recovery in Render's thread.

I read in the change log that is how it works now. I like that feature saves an extra touch

Also my phone says its an GT-I900 this time. Guess thats only in the bluetooth pairing not the about phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
That's interesting. I never use Bluetooth, so it's probably something I forgot to change in the build.prop.

Is it running OK for you now? If not, I saw that the i9100 version is now paired with their omni kernel, so if you run into any troubles perhaps try our omni kernel and let me know. I've not encountered problems using the TWRP CM kernel, but I know you did on 5.0.4.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
so far so good this time haven't installed any apps yet only google search and apex launcher. Letting it settle a bit first this time. Also I read a lot of the original forum for this rom and it uses cwm recovery so I stayed on it this time. I think but haven't checked yet the only differance in renders kernels is the recovery you know if thats right. Any way seems to be fine on cwm 6.0.4.5. Oh guess you should know I am on the streight Talk S2 so our recovery is different then the real I777

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
So I'm wondering if your system partition is full. You said you were previously on a TW rom, which means the preload folder is likely very full. These roms need plenty of empty system space in order to install thoroughly. Can you use a root explorer and check that?

It could be a reason why you're having so many problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
You beat me to it. He needs to format system in recovery before installing as stated in the op. That's got to be the problem. Touch whiz leaves junk behind if you don't format system

"... one thing I can tell you is you got to be free..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] juanqui1893:
