In new nightlies everything works fine for me.

But i still missing internal memory.

On vanir_skomer_4.4.4.090814 withe the new GApps pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20141103-signed i have round about 800 mb internal memory free.

With the new vanir_skomer_4.4.4.102814 i have just 600 mb internal memory free with old and new GApps.

How does it.

I have test clean new install with full wipe and also tried to update nighlies every install of new nightlie the internatl memory is lost.

Anybuddy the same problem?

Please lock in your memory on your xcover before and after update!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it is an issue with Link2SD some part of apps that where linked withe link2sd Plus are shown in internal memory of the xcove2.

I can see as example WPS Office internal datas of 32 MB in internal memory of phone,	although i have linked WPS Office internal datas with link2SD plus.

This is what makes internal memory full the linked datas of link2sd plus where added on internal memory	although the dates whre linked.

Can anybuddy change this?

Because the memory are not good of xcover2.

The recent nightly fixed the camera issue. Or was it just because I cleared cache two times and did some application cache deleting, not sure. But it works! Hopefully there is some support in the future, even though this version is very good as is.

My phone has only 300MB memory free, I don't really know why. Used Disk Usage and app, data and dalvik-cahce using about 700MB, even though I have only about 20 extra apps. Apps taking a lot of space nowadays, I guess.

[MENTION=5892075]marle.m[/MENTION] It is probably the downloaded vanir update, that took your extra 200 MB. The downloads for updates is located in /root/sdcard/vanirupdater (the emulated one, not the real SD). You can delete the whole folder after updating, it creates it to download the update.

Some apps crash :(

@Unjustified Dev:

Some of my apps crash when I launch them.

I installed the latest nightly (vanir_skomer_4.4.4.110514) by following this tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56036644&postcount=459

I installed the GAPPS PICO MODULAR PACKAGE.

When I connected to the internet, it started downloading and installing all my previous installed programs.

At the moment point, I can't install any more apps because google play services crashes.

I also installed link2sd.

Do you have any idea why I have these problems?

Edit:

Ok, when I unlink an app from the sd, and I reboot my phone, it works again. Any idea how I can use link2sd too?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mikemsc13:
To use link2sd follow this tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2142844

Also you should not let google play install automatically your previous apps,

do it manually yourself, so you can control the internal storage (install app - create link to sdcard)

Be sure to check install location to automatic in link2sd.

You can even try to recreat mount scrips in link2sd, if your card is already partitioned like in the tutorial.

Good luck!

I think it's fake.

The screenshot in the link above is not a real screenshot, not even a pic file.

And were is the thread on the xda forum mentioned at that article ?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] stievy:
Thx! I figured it out myself already, but didn't have time to post it on this forum.

I have between the 100 and 200 mb internal memory available, is this normal?

I moved a lot of stuff to the sd, but I let some things on the internal storage, like xposed installer, link2sd etc.

Are there other things that I better not move to the sd? I already tried some things I didn't find important, but they failed (some system things :))

If i buy link2sd, I can move/link the apps cache too. I assume that gives me some more space on the internal sd?

Thx 4 the answers!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mikemsc13:
Yes, if you buy the plus version of link2sd you can gain more internal space my creating links for internal data.

Problem link2sdplus and nightlies

No this is what i mean above.

I have se same apps test on vanir_skomer_4.4.4.110514.zip all the apps are same linked with link2sd plus and on vanir_skomer_4.4.4.110514.zip i hve ca.600 mb internal free and on vanir_skomer_4.4.4.090814.zip i have ca 800 mb internal.

free.

And both installation are the same only the nightlie is an other.

I have testet it and it is so.

In new nightlies some of the app datas are linked but they are still as full data shown on internal memory in menue.

This is the problem.

As example WPS office in vanir_skomer_4.4.4.090814.zip in internal memory are shown with 3,41 mb and in vanir_skomer_4.4.4.110514.zip it is shown with 31 mb.

This is what cause the problem!

Also some lib are linked and was also shown full in internal memory in menue.

I think something on new nightlie would not work corectly with the linked apps data of some apps.

i have teste the way update nightlie over sd card1 copy with pc and install via recovery and i have teste a clean new install with the two nightlies i have named above.

I hope in future the problem will solved.

I found a good xposed module, so your downloads won't go to the internal memory, but to your sdcard:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-downloads2sd-t2656338/post50505798#post50505798

Also install this module (if you didn't already):

http://repo.xposed.info/module/kz.virtex.android.sdcardfix

You have to set the paths manually when you installed it and rebooted, click on the module and adjust the settings to /storage/sdcard1/whathever_folder_you_want (If you don't take /storage/sdcard1, but /ExtSdCard or something else, it won't work!!)

I just downloaded a big file 380MB directly on my sdcard (there was 234MB available on my internal memory).

Have fun with it :)

Hi. I came from stock ROM to the latest nightly build and my phone was unable to find my SIM card. Also, after rebooting, Menu and Back buttons stopped working. My phone uses S7710XXAND2 baseband. I'm sorry but I'm unable to provide you with any logs since I'm back on stock ROM.

I've been using it for almost a year (the exactly same build 2.6.3.0) without absolutely any issues. I flashed the currently latest PA gapps via TWRP like five minutes ago. And also (unlike CWM) the TWRP is touch-based.

You can use CWM (2014/01/12: Updated to version 6.0.4.6. <-- USE THIS VERSION) from the link you posted and it works fine with the GApps 07.12.2014 i use mini modular without problems and install over the old one without clear dalvik.

cwm 2014/01/12: Updated to version 6.0.4.6. <-- USE THIS VERSION works fine.

And aktualy there is no new recovery for xcover2 all the recoverys are old and no one programm a new one.

So TWRP 2.6.3.0 and CWM 2014/01/12: Updated to version 6.0.4.6. <-- USE THIS VERSION works with GApps and Nightly

At all use Rashr apk from playstore to flash Recovery without problems and without full wipe so every one could test wich recovery is the best to use by him selfe!

For anybody with troubles in GT-S7710:

Since I went back to 4.4.4.091214 (after fullwipe installed ROM and then gapps-modular-mini.091214) my device is perfect working. No problems since weeks now. So I will not install another release until it's growing incompatible with needed apps or until I will get a new device - maybe Christmas next year .... 'Cause after so much troubles and work I'll never touch a running system on this damn devil's tool.

Bluetooth fitness gizmos

As I understood there are three bluetooth technologies wich work with fitness apk-s.

1. Classic bluetooth, t.e. Polar Wearlink,

2. Bluetooth Low Energy Smart technology (4.0)

3. ANT+ ( t. e. Garmin)

Which bluetooth technology can man use when try to connect to a bluetooth heart rate monitor with the Xcover 2 AND Vanir ROM?

Only the 1. or both the 1. and 2. monitors work with this phone? Theoretically, because the phone has 4.0 bluetooth and Vanir Rom is 4.4 (aka over 4.3) all types of the LE Smart devices should be supported....

It is clear that 3. version is not working because the Xcover 2 is not ANT+ compatible and it is not possible to connect with an ANT+ dongle cause of missing OTG support.

I could highly appreciate if those who use heart rate monitors and cadense-speed sensors could write some infos about the types of these sensors. Thanks.

Hey guys, is this ROM still developed and supported? I see that the changelog of the nightly page has very recent commits, but no one here talks about recent builds.

Also I need a suggestion: I have to install this ROM on a Xcover 2 of one of my friends, who is not so into this kind of stuff (flashing, etc...) so I'd need something stable in time, and without tricks to do.

I know that modded versions of stock 4.1 would be better for this purpose, but he needs Kitkat for some app support.

What do you suggest? Can I put theese ROMs without changing RADIO and without installing a recovery via Odin? I'm sorry for all these questions, but I don't own the phone so I cannot try directly.

Last 4.4.4 is working perfectly for me, even spirit FM light radio. Super fast and good battery life.:):o

But i have no problems after third install, and i had to use Link2sd and foldermount apps to save (a lot of) internal memory. However, with first and second attempts i had some problems like screen unlock delay, slow system, no fm radio, alarm clock bugs... Maybe i messed up something with installation. So, if you dedicate some time to modification, it can be awesome rom.
