[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] pojir:
Seeing so much positive feedback on the latest build I tried it too. But unfortunately I wasn't so lucky. Here's my story:

I backed app data up via CyanogenMod's Helium app. Rebooted to TWRP, backed up data+system+boot. Wiped data+system+cache+dalvik. Installed 2014-04-11 nightly and full modular PA gapps from 2014-04-12. After a reboot google synchronized my account thus installing all the apps from google play. I restored their settings via Helium. All in all a normal safe upgrade. This was when I was already in bed (around 22:45).

In the middle of the night (~3:10) I was woken up by my phone crying that the battery was empty - 11% left. I checked the battery stats and saw that the GPS was running all the time draining the battery. So I plugged it to my computer's USB port via cable (I left my charger at work). I had an alarm set to 5:50 in the morning and was hoping it would finally wake me without any problems.

I've woken up around six all by myself - no alarm at all. When I reached my phone it was in a bootloop. It booted fine to the OS but after like half a minute, when it tried to switch the screen off and sleep, it rebooted - full reboot with the vibration, fullscreen white samsung xcover logo and stuff. I tried wiping cache + dalvik in recovery and fixing the permissions but nothing helped. I just restored the last days backup and wanted to share my story.

Oh and by the way - I noticed that the bottom part of the screen becomes responsive if you disable the navring, enable the navbar and then disable the navbar again.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Sorry to hear your problems...

Btw your trick to enable/disable navbar is working now bottom screen is acting OK! Thanx mate!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] doctork:
Hmmm, isn't the bottom screen problem related to the NAV-RING?

Anyway, my 032614 Version ran through a whole battery cycle without rebooting. Maybe the repatching of google-play or reinstalling of xposed-installer or cleaning the cache did do the trick. Did not use the alarm, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] tommies2:
I don't think because my problems is especially with keyboard. But it's minor problem d'or me.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
No disabling navring doesnt solve the problem other trick suggested yes!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] leech2:
anyone having problems with whatsapp ?

everytime i receive a message my phone reboots

i did full wipes, install latest nightly, no restore
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Nope, whatsapp running fine here...
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] leech2:
rephrasing - everytime my phone displays a notification - either email, sms whatsapp,... it reboots

if it does not show on in the notification area - ie im still in the programm receiving the message - no reboot

if system is locked, message arrives, notification shows up - system reboot, notification shows up again, reboot - rinse repeat
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Unjustified Dev:
Fixed LTE option showing going to push fix when I'm home it will be in next nightly. Also nightly system is updated much more easier to install updates than before.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Thanx for your hard work unjustified dev! You really deserve our respect man your continue releases with bug fixes & improvements are really appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Unjustified Dev:
Is the bottom touch fixed? I thought navigation bar was the problem?? I'll take a look at the latest build if you can pull one for the alarm reboots
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] pojir:
I'm sorry but I don't think I follow. So is the alarm fixed in the current build or are you going to have a look at it?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Yes, enabling and disabling the navigation bar is solving the touch problem and BTW I have no reboots at all! Thanx again

just updated from 04/16/14 (clean install 24h ago) to 04/17/14 (no clean install (yet))

after update all looks good - i lock the screen.

send myself a email on my exchange account which is set up on the phone too.

when the message is supposed to arrive on the phone(screen locked cant see) phone starts reboot

looping reboot.

to break the boot loop i have to unlock with swipe my phone right after the vanir boot logo or it will reboot again.

with my phone now unlocked - resending a email, shows notification in top area, playing a sound all fine.

locking phone again (power off button) - resending mail - rebooting starts again, i see the galaxy xcover logo, vanir logo

i really wouldnt care that much - besides the fact that for whatever reason my phone needs 07min55sec to activate mobile network - during that time if would receive a call, i will get a SMS about missed calls, initiating the bootloop once more

what freak of a phone did i get myself - everyother is fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Downloaded latest build all working as expected only 2 issues founded for now:

The touch is always not responding 100% in the bottom area of the screen I mean that sometimes I have to press 2 or 3 times a button on the bottom area to be detected

Then going on setting/interface I have a fc...

I'll try to get a log asap...

For what is this file?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] tko:
Just installed it on mine.

- bottom of the screen is not very responsiv.

- looks like it crases on some notifications

- Helium backup APP dies not always Work (sometimes it starts... Some it dont)

Other than that it works fine

Dat bootanimation :)

So, when I enter PIN immediately after boot, it won't register to any network.

When I wait for about 10 minutes and then enter PIN it registers to my operator network without any issue.

I will have a look at the logcat and report back if I find something usefull.

Thanks for your time and work!

Thanx

2104 build OTA update is not booting at all for me, it's stuck at the bootanimation...

I tried to manually install the 2104 build but still not booting. It stays on the vanir bootanimation.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] m@ttie:
build 20/04 --> the same, stuck on bootanimation. :crying:

build 18/04 --> No problems so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Bonome:
I had the same issue on this build.

For the random reboots, my phone reboots when i receive any notifications (sms, email, ...) when the screen is off, I disabled the notifications (in settings/applications/appName) and the phone doesn't reboot when i receive a sms.

Hope this informations can help, and btw thanks for this great work on xcover 2!

Thanx for advice unjustified Dev keep good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] m@ttie:
The build 18/04 has no notification sounds at all for me.

So I'm restoring the 11/04 build, that was the best for me apparantly.

Thanks for the development Unjustified Dev!

Hi, has somebody test the new build 4/23/14?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] tommies2:
Tested. Boot ok, no reboot,

Bottom screen still unreactive

But i have some problems with wifi and data connection. Sometimes, connection is lost and can(t switch Wifi ON/OFF
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] tko:
just testet it, still reboots if you get a notification. ... back to cm for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Latest release is booting but bottom screen is always unresponsive and I have the fc on settings/intererface.

Anyway nice ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] m@ttie:
23/04 release is indeed booting well.

But the issues as mentionned before still accur.

But thanks for the development!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] tommies2:
Very strange.

i had no problem... no reboot, nothing wrong. Since i have

vanir_skomer_4.4.2.042114. I have reboots, reboots and reboots.

I reinstalled	vanir_skomer_4.4.2.041714 rom... same problem. I have installed a different kitkat rom... same problem...

Any idea ?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Unjustified Dev:
Please format all data system etc. Then provide a logcat via adb logcat a lot of logcats seemed chopped up as if it was created by an app that filtered errors and warnings. I will provide a zip later on but what are the last bugs again? I don't get the bottom screen unresponsive make sure navigation bar is disabled
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] tko:
just tested the newest build (25/04), it still reboots/crashes if i receive a notification (with display off).

i made a logcat, i send it to you via PM.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
For me as stated before with latest build bottom screen unresponsive and again crash of preference/interface option...

Notification and all the rest is working OK for me.

Thanx for feedback unjustified Dev!

Doh now I see I don't have latest build but 2304 because if I check new updates under system info I no more see newest updates....
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Unjustified Dev:
[MENTION=5343811]maurensen[/MENTION] are you disabling the navigation ring
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Now I can't see if navigation bar is disabled because interface preference is crashing but before the update I disabled it and not seeing buttons on the bottom of the screen I think it is off...
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Installed latest (2704) build same issues: fc on interface settings and bottom touch unresponsive...
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] xataxxx:
Running 042714

Full wipe, wiped everything cmw allows, Format /system & /data (I always forget to format /system...).

Interface settings works fine for me - no FC.

In order to get the bottom area responsive: You have to enable/disable notification ring THEN enable/disable Navigation bar.

Notifications are still crashing < Most annoying bug ever.

Other wise a very good ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] m@ttie:
--> indeed working fine.

--> indeed :) but apparently only when the phone is on stand-by...
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
OK wiping data no more FC on settings (not very handy for an update x working:))

also enabling disabling navbar and navring is making bottom screen working OK!

no problems with notification for me....

thanx for the tips mate!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
Noo too bad with latest build I'm affected by infamous reboot on notification bug.... Switched back to previous versions...
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] xataxxx:
Is there a version that does not have that reboot problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] maurensen:
I switched back to 1104 build and it's working almost fine for me, don't know if other newest build are also working but this is OK for my needs. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] m@ttie:
The 11/04 was also the best build for me. (but reboots on notifications) But the 27/04 was running better on my device.

Now testing the 28/04 build... The notification bug is still there, so reboots when receiving a sms or a agenda notification.

[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION], is this problem fixable?

Thanks for the new build!!

i have stopped to use link2sd and i xcover2 stopped to reboot.

I don't know why
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] m@ttie:
This is indeed a very stable rom and everything seems to run allright without reboots and WITH notification working! Currently using this one as daily rom!
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Bonome:
All of us who have experienced reboot on notifications have link2sd installed ?

I had it but i'm not on this rom right now so i'll test the next build without link2sd and i'll keep you informed.

[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] fryc88:
I've got also lots of reboots when notification appears. ROM is in my phone for about 1 hour, and there was already 4 reboots when notification appeared :/

Lets pray it will work after fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] fryc88:
Does anyone even enter here?

There are another 2 things which i noticed after some time of using:

- i wanted to use polish navi system - Automapa, full map of EU is ~3,4GB which is of course too much for internal memory, BUT in soft, default location is /storage/emulated/0/ and it is looking for space out here, of course it cannot find enough free space and app is not able to DL map of EU...is there a way to remap mount of storage? i had some old tablet, and there was fix, to swap internal and external memory in soft, because out there was same problem

- second thing is taking photos, same as above, they are saving into phone memory instead my mem card..
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Unjustified Dev:
Please wait until I am more free in the following week there is a way
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] pojir:
This should also be fixed in the app. Map application which I use (mapy.cz) asks where to download the map and is able to use the external card correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] fryc88:
Ye i know that, but Automapa is not user-friendly if u want to change anything more than language or some default settings.

It is downloading to /sdcard by default, and in this soft this is directory of internal mem i think.

I found boot.img for Xcover2 in xda, but im not sure if it will work propertly in this soft, so im not flashing it yet

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43023388&postcount=276

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40232503&postcount=45

This one just swap internal mem with SD card, but i'm not sure if it does not change anything needed by your soft, because when extracting ZIP, there is boot.img too.

Also, those above is not that big problem as resets :/

I've kind of passed resets when SMS comes, just by disabling messages pop up in app menu, also i've disabled pop up for Gmail app and Clock, because alarm was not working propertly - phone was going to reboot when alarm was turning on.

But missed call still brings reset. Can live with that till fix comes out :)

Has somebody test it?
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] fryc88:
I've just seen it and im downloading it, gonna test soon :)

Im wondering, because i cannot understand that changelog...

Got it in my phone. So far so good, tested with alarm, SMS and mail without any reset. But there i go - i dont have sound for mail/sms, and when i try to pickup one from list, there is no sound played, but there are many on list...

EDIT:

Also memory problem isnt solved. Photos are still saving to internal memory and i cannot pickup option to move them to MicroSD, also author did not respond for my question with 2 bootloaders i've attached before, if they will or not work with his CM, and if he could add option like in them, to have swapped internal 1gig memory with external MicroSD when mounting those spaces.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] xataxxx:

Works pretty well so far! Handy survived the Alarm test. I noticed the "Performance App" disappear, also this damn notification ring can now be disabled, which I like.
