25th nightly bug

Yesterday I updated to the 25th nightly then today I experienced that I cant acces the settings sayin the app stopped working and when I click on gmail icon my phobe restarts suddenly... So how should I update to the next nightly to solve this problem without accesing the CM updater.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Giobio:
It heppend to me on this one. The Linaro. After setting the "STYLE" on Lollipop theme. Changing only icons and lockscreen, it works.

Full clean wipes maden.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] la_malacoda:
It also happened to me with phone icon LOL

Try to reflash and make all the wipes (preload, system and data too)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Markox89:
Quick update

For those experiencing issues: CM Team is pushing tons of fixes, so I'm really confident that next build will be better ;)

Though, a fresh start (full wipe) is always a good idea :)

BTW, these days I'm working really hard trying to upgrade kernel toolchain to Linaro 4.8 (and maybe do some compilation improvement on my way). I still have no idea if I'll be able to accomplish this goal, but I'm trying really hard, and I'd like to thank [MENTION=4682498]Dragoon Aethis[/MENTION], [MENTION=4241220]marjune23[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4930986]SCPadgeebar[/MENTION] for helping me with the tests. For now the kernel boots, but it still has some weird issues I'm trying to solve.

I'll let you know, so forgive my absence :angel:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
Noo, I just flashed your latest build :( :D

I will try a dirty flash and if that will not work I will perform a fullwipe.

Anyway, if you got some spare time, could you have a look over my last post? would really appreciate it :)

I can do what I want but I did not get Dorimanx kernel running, on AOSP it is no problem, also older builds of Dorimanx... Anybody else having problems?

EDIT: I just discovered that I get a softreboot when I click on "google search" !?

EDIT2: I reinstalled Google Search but still get a softreboot after trying to open it :(

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jgcaap:
Thats gold. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rphlfjrd:
I experience it in Hangouts and YouTube. Good to know that I'm not the only one. (The weird thing is it's Google Apps w/c are causing this). I just reinstalled build 20140806 and will just probably wait for the next build.:good:

Anyways, good luck to [MENTION=1597520]Markox89[/MENTION]. Glad to be part of the project.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi

To me this latest build seems to be more energy consuming than the ones before.

Could not relally figure out what it is exactly - so far it's just a feeling. Hope that's one of the problems cm team is solving ...

0823 build looks good, but somehow it doesnt go on well with the lastest gapps. I must use an old package and it works just fine.

Another thing is, battery seems to drain out very fast, i know mine is not as good as a new one but it's draining out faster than ever :eek:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi

Which gapps are you using? I use Banks minimal without search (29/7 which should be the latest version) and got no problem.

Greez
[Galaxy S II Android Development] highdiver_2000:
Just switch back to your last know good version. I don't know why the desire to flash the latest and greatest Gapps when it self updates.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

I do know: because update of play store cannot be triggered as far as I know. I don't want my phone to update whenever it feels like plus I do not want to need an update rightaway after flashing a new ROM.

I thinnk almost nobody would flash new gapps on a running system just for fun ...

regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zimaia:
Yes, with last build i loose 2% or 3% per hour without doing anything and if i use the phone then i just can see the % droping down so so fast!!! If i use the phone like to browse some websites, read email and things lke that i loose 10% each 15 min or so!! too muth drain for me.

I'm not complaining because i already know that kk have this huge battery drain problem but is a chame because it is dificult to use a phone with this drain.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaNuXdaDev:
Same thing for me... :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dragoon Aethis:
It's not a problem with this ROM, stays around the same values all the time. I don't have GApps (yes, I'm weird), since 99% of problems with huge battery drain comes from Google Play Services. Try running without GSF for a day or two, see the difference yourselves (but backup contacts and such, since they'll get removed along with Google account as well).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

cool that you can survive without google ...

but how can you know that it is not the ROM? We compare the last ROM with this ROM with the same Gapps - so - the only difference is this ROM. How can anything but the ROM be the problem?

And yes, it is obvious that google does consume battery - especially if you do not tame it in some way (greenify, wakelock terminator, autostarts, autorun manager and the like)

regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dragoon Aethis:
"Same" Gapps doesn't mean that they're actually the same. GSF is running as root (core GApps are in priv-app), and updates itself silently, automatically in the background, and you can't stop this without patching with Lucky Patcher and such. (But it still NEEDS to be in priv-app, and I'm not going to trust Lucky Patcher or anything that came out of it with root priviledges...) When was the last time you had to update Google Play Services in Play Store? And which version you've got installed now? (Answers in 99% cases are: Never, the latest one, don't even know why.) ;)

I'm pretty sure it's not the ROM, since I'm using it quite similiarly all the time, and this release didn't affect battery life at all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRXed:
Play Store does selfupdate, I have never flashed a new version manually. The latest official CM Gapps package is too big for our devcice (twice as big), you need to use the January one.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dragoon Aethis:
Completely by the way, flashing older package means you'll have less cruft on /system, but most of these apps will have to be updated anyway, so what's the point of flashing the full package, when you can just take the lightweight one (linked in the first post), then install whatever you need, with the same functionality? :P
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ajislav:
Any particular tips on how to run this ROM Google-free?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Remove Google backup script (/system/add-ons.d) reflash Rom, done.

Install alternative market (fdroid).

(Disclaimer: idk if fdroid contains warez)

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Markox89:
Don't call me a teaser...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dragoon Aethis:
My scheme is: format /system, /data, /cache (this MUST be a clean flash), flash this ROM, optionally flaah SuperSU. That's pretty much it for Google-free, but I've also removed many, many apps which normally come with this ROM before copying onto device, so it's way slimmer than usual. I'll PM you list of apk's I've removed, so that you can delete them as wepl if you wish. (But note that I don't need all CM-specific apps and services, live wallpapers, some default apps... it's REALLY slim.)

Other than that, Play Store doesn't work, so you'll need either F-Droid (FOSS-only apps, no warez), or Aptoide (all kinds of apps, default repo contains mostly legal stuff, where every other repo is... less legal.) You'll also want Raccoon (from Onyxbits), which is a desktop Google Play client. Not as powerful, pretty, etc etc, but downloads apps from Play Store without problems and you'll miss Play Store quality pretty soon, do grab it.

Contacts are synced with Google, you'll lose them all upon removing Google account. (They're still in the cloud.) I'm using DAVdroid to sync contacts and calendar events with my own server (ownCloud, runs on any PHP 5.3+ webhost). K9 Mail from F-Droid is a pretty nice mail client, if you're missing Gmail (or any other mail client - it's good enough to replace most of them). Apps which depend on GSF will crash sooner or later. Apps authenticating with Google/G+ profile won't work. Some Google apps work fine (Translate, Keyboard, uh, Google), some instacrash (Gmail, YouTube, Play *). Overally, prepare for a ****load of inconveniences :( (But once you somehow survive this, welcome to the Free Apps and Self-hosted Services Master Race. And enjoy comfy battery.)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kenop123:
nice idea....but quite a lot to do.

Actually why google don't fix the battery drain bug of google play service?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Facuu:
Without gapps, will apps like whatsapp or so work and get push notifications? I think without gcm they wont work like that
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi

Hmmm - I guess you need to be very specific on that question: what other apps would be "or so"

Guess we are getting quite off topic now ...

Greez
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dragoon Aethis:
That's not a lot do to: format /system, /data, /cache, delete useless files from .zip, flash modified .zip, flash SuperSU, restore Really Important Packages and Stuff (DAVdroid, file manager, launcher, accounts, system config) via Titanium, done.

For installing/updating stuff, either F-Droid or Raccoon (installing packages with ADB is *WAY* faster than copying over APKs, running file manager, finding the place, tapping Next Next Install :P). That's it - hard to get up and running the first time, quite comfortable once it's done :)

Google did fix the bug, quite a couple of times. It's happening randomly every few months again and again. I'm not suprised that much, since it's known to have thousands of functions in there, and they've placed 20 to 30 services in a single APK. Bugs happen.

Push notifications in 98% of apps will not work. If set to "check once every N minutes", it'll usually work. I don't need push notifications (again, I'm weird), so I'm fine with that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] blinoff82:
Sorry if this has already been asked. :o If I go to the official nightly - need full wipe? Or rather wipe cashe\dalvik?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Markox89:
If you don't have weird issues, full wipe isn't mandatory ;)

Just wipe the caches :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRXed:
Isn't that done automatically when you are flashing?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
After dirty flash I had to set language and timezone again, is that normal?

Edit: touchscreen is reacting a bit "weaker" as before when device is connected to a charger. Sometimes I have to press 2 or 3 times on an item to perform an action..

Hi, i've flashed this rom (ver. 20140829) yesterday, on top of stock JB.

Everything goes OK and i'm very happy about this rom, but i want to ask - is kernel included in this rom support BLN (backlight notifications)?

I've download the "bln control free" app from googleplay, but I got message "bln status: not working"

Do i must change the kernel to compatibile with BLN?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] drastys:
Yes you have to change kernel.This kernel is not supported BLN.

[MENTION=1597520]Markox89[/MENTION]

would the following be possible in next build? (attached pics)

Nearly all KK ROMs I tested before have this 'feature' ;)

Many thanks :good:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] lammpat:
Sorry to post offtopic but where can I get stock kk kernel tar for odin? Couldn't find it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Markox89:
Feature requests should be done through CyanogenMod's Gerrit: this is a CyanogenMod custom build, not a custom ROM :angel:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jgcaap:
Been using the new ROM after hard reset. Working rock solid. Thank you :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
If you tell me how to do this, I will do this, no problem ;)

I know, that your build is not a custom ROM but what speaks against this little "add" ? ;)

There are a lot of other things that are not yet implemented in CM11, compared to CM10.x but that is another story..

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi

This Rom does not have any little "adds" compared to original cm and that is so by choice - so go to cm website and find out how to place a feature request or choose another ROM.

BTW: I think that's also e answer 4 ur question from 20/8. This ROM is not just CM based - it is compiled with exactly the same source code (markox never changes anything) - only the compiler is modded.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi

still got no answer to this.

Somehow I got the "gotta always flash latest markox ROM" bug but am pretty annoyed by having to restore all cm settings manually all the time.

Would be cool to have some tool or would it be possible to create a list of apks (system apks of course) data which is safe to restore from previous builds with titanium backup?

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
Looks like you're doing something wrong, you're not supposed to do a full wipe anytime you update your Rom, just flash it over and you're good to go.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

I know that this is possible and I did it before sometimes. However I did yet small problems with that (device hanging sometimes and the like). So I would not recommend it. To me it does not make sense to flash the latest ROM and expect better performance while doing dirty upgrades and making the ROM worse by that.

If I am not supposed to do a clean install everytime: when am I supposed to do it? And still the problem is there if I do the clean install ...

regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] highdiver_2000:
If it is a nightl/weekly of the same build, I just flash, no wipes.

Going to different builds, Format /system, flash and flash Gapps This works for official CM11 and Markox's CM11. Not so for other builds.

For example PA->CM, you can dirty flash, you will need to reset quick settings.

CM->PA, full wipe is ncecessary.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dragoon Aethis:
Just do a factory wipe every two months or so. It's well worth the time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
I didn't even factory reset between cm10.1 > cm10.2 > cm11 > omni > carbon (cm11) lol but I know a little about Linux / Android..

For those weird hangs / hiccups I recommend a filesystem check of both storages on a weekly basis, since our device is getting old and the flash may wear out slowly.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
hmmm - lot of talk about different opinions but

still not any wiser ...

once more: is there any solution, not having to restore all settings manually after clean install? In my opinion this should not be so difficult. If it was google, CM would offer to upload/download the cm settings to their server - there is an account with CM anyways.

probably I should place a feature request with CM.

EDIT: found this: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-763?jql=text ~ "settings" ... so topic closed

What app do you use for filesystem check?

I have a feeling my internal storages are getting corrupt and slow.....

If no code is needed then I will get an account I think.

Maybe someone can provide me the relevant code, we will see.

Thanks anyway.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
I'm doing it this way:

2 Short scripts, but these are for fat 32

Internal sd

fsck_msdos /dev/block/vold/259:3

External sd

fsck_msdos /dev/block/vold/179:9

Both are stored as csd0 and csd1 within /system/bin

[Galaxy S II Android Development] eminem_b:
I just ran the script you shared with us. Is there a particular output we should be aware of if there are any errors?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
You should enter y to fix them and it shouldn't be not more then 1 - 3 errors at all, otherwise you've had a serious issue :)

Fix the error and see if the phone behaves better afterwards.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Facuu:
My 2 cents here as i don't know if it was already implemented.

I am trying this rom coming from slimsaber and i faced the music bug. I knew that on Slimsaber fusionjack merged a patch for it and maybe markox didn't do it yet.

I manually flashed it and so far so good, music bug didn't appear anymore.

Hope this can help other users and markox could implement it on the rom

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51657055&postcount=304

as stated there, it's not a complete solution but a workaround. Anyways i have been using it for months and music bug never appeared anymore.

Hi, these commands are executed when?

1. Device in recovery manager mounted as a USB?

2. Booted and ADB?

3. On phone Terminal?

TIA. I tried method 1 before, ADB could not recognize it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Karpfenhai:
It doesn't matter where as long as the storages are mounted and you're root, and the files exist (or you enter the command on a shell)

I'll show you:

Dont forget to add the files to your backup script within /systems/addons.d otherwise they will dissappear after re-flash

This will work for fat32 / extfat formatted storages, for ext3 /ext4 use e2fsck instead.

You could also check your system / data partitions, but they have be unmounted first, use adb shell while in recovery for that:

The pic above describes how to figure the right block device to check.

Note, imho the system storages are checked and repaired during each reboot, it shouldn't be necessary, that's why a reboot takes so long sometimes after a crash.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Markox89:
I won't implement a workaround. I'm following the music bug thread, and that patch doesn't even work for everyone (and side effects are still unclear): users can easily flash it be themselves.

I haven't seen any patch from fusionjack either, but if you can link it to me I'll give a look for sure.

The working apk will be for sure in next build. BTW if you can't wait, I'll attach the working one, freshly compiled from CM sources after they pushed the fix.

Replace it in your /system/app folder and reboot :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toti_ale:

However, every time that I update your ROM the soft buttons stop working, so I have to full wipe my phone evey time :(

For toggling backlight buttons I'm still using this guide; check Advanced Settings > Screen.

Remember that you also need to remove AdvancedDisplay.apk from your phone and restore DeviceSettings.apk at every flash. Have fun :)

Hi, I found issue with call log in your latest build. When I called to somebody/ or somebody to me so I can't find it in call log. In call log is no new record. Same situation for missed calls.

Before installation of new build I wiped cache and Dalvik cache .
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Markox89:
[MENTION=1048369]drastys[/MENTION], CM made tons of changes to the whole Phone part, so a bug can be risen.

Right now I can't reproduce your issue with outgoing calls; later I'll make more tests with incoming and missed and report back if I'll be able to reproduce the bug ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] drastys:
Thanks, it doesn't matter if it is outgoing, incoming or missed call. Anyway I don't have any new record in call log.

BTW: if I want to go back to older build, could I do it directly from latest build without lose some data?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Markox89:
Further investigations proved you were right, so let's wait for a fix from the CM Team. I don't think I'll have some time for another release soon (and I don't use phone calls that much) :(

BTW I won't consider this call log bug "a big deal" ;)

Reverting to a previous build may lead to weird issues (and so a full wipe will be required), but you can try :)
