For the sake of it I thought I would give M2 another go on full wipe to see if there is really something wrong with APN in this version.

I did a full wipe and followed all the procedures to install M2.

And again my APN settings is blank.

I did a full wipe installation of RC3 and APN settings load up fine.

Same thing with Milestone 1 and APN settings load up fine.

So there is clearly an issue with APN in M2.

Im on T-mobile uk /EE

I don't understand why no one else is having the same problem on a full wipe installation ? :confused::sly:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hyperthrust:
What in your opinion besides what u mentioned do you find better in the older version RC - 03 over Milestone 1.

If you could list all the examples please.

I only tried RC 03 for a couple of minutes to test the APN thing and mainly been using M1 all this time which has been stable for me besides

1. No back to kill (working on M2)

2. Screen flickering on low battery

3. Battery sometimes turning off without warning even though there is a little charge left.

4. Vibrate setting increasing without warning sometimes inspite of setting it manually low so need to reapply it again, happens on every reboot and during use throughout the day.

Cant think of any other issues then that on M1 so thats why ive stuck with it all this time.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psydex:
Besides the terminal not working (which i don't use at all), I can't recall any other issues with RC-03, mate :good:

I've been testing various ROMs (including all versions of SOKP to date) but i found myself always coming back on RC-03

I just wish it had the new theme engine - that would make it the ultimate S2 ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hyperthrust:
I see. So it doesn't have the issues i listed. Ok might have to give that version are try then. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] smokerman:
well i ve made a mistake..on this M2 my phone never enters deep sleep..its 100% awake..i did some rom changes, flashed new gustavo v113 and nothing..battery drain is massive..less than 1 day easy with almost no use..i was surprised by this..didnt happen on last version i tried..:eek:

and i did have at least two soft reboots since my last post yesterday without touching the phone, just to test battery and i did a 2 full charge, cause on 1 it gave me 16 hours life with a 2000mAh battery..(the one i use for video reviews and proper testing of the roms)..just to compare on beanstalk 4.4.2 from 03/2014 same test i did gave me 2 days and 16 hours..same cpu settings and governors.:rolleyes:

ps: APN not set for me also as usually i have on any other KK rom..i will wait for a new build to make a video review cause this one wont show the real potencial and greatness of this rom..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hyperthrust:
Finally someone else confirms this APN issue on M2 :)

Also I can verify the deepsleep issue also. I never mentioned it because I was focusing on Data not working and thought it was the phone settling after the initial setup so paid no attention to it. Also people on other phones using M2 like sg3 are confirming the issue of no deepsleep too.

Im going to stay off M2. Might go and try RC3 as that is meant to be the most stable and bug free.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
L source is out.

Wait for the update.?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Shahan_mik3:
Dude at least he is doing something.... Why not cheer him rather than pulling him down?

If he wants to build android l test ROM let him....that can be flashed as a test ROM to have a peek at the latest version on our old and ready to die device.

Keep up the good work vivek :D [emoji122]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Jonny:
If you or anyone else here thinks that by using a ROM it makes you a customer, then you need to reconsider what XDA is for and what the definition of a customer is. No, you have not bought anything, you are using something which someone made for free and is not selling.

I advise you to leave the customer mentality at the door, or at least away from XDA - its not welcome here.

Thread cleaned, back on topic please.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] razen_kain:
Regarding the apn issue: i also had no apn to choose from apn list, SO... I click "+" and manually add apn settings which I've learned by heart now... THIS.... is an issue? Some people should not have a rooted phone. Just saying.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] smokerman:
what i mean at least is: on rc3 no problem with APN..in this M2 yes..its just a way to help developers know the issues..and help them to fix all..not a big issue, but the soft reboots and freezing are for sure..i ve tested all this releases for s2 and this one have more problems for me that any other version..and i find that it happens more often with dori v113 than stock one..but that one heat up the phone like crazy..

like i said before still SOKP fan..and gonna keep that way..i go back to rc3 untill next release..easy like that.;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
Instead of Slim PIE am planing to add LMT reason is very simple LMT is having lot more options than PIE....

Are you guys agree with me in this discussion

Plz let me know
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hyperthrust:
Hi isn't that app available to download on playstore? Or am I wrong.

I personally don't use slimpie and if people who want that sort of feature then they can download themselves from Play.

Less bloat in rom I think personally.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Stuart Little:
Lol , the GAPPS aren´t working :(

When i boot the installation wizard at first boot and i choose language then i get Installation Wizard FC !

Can you fix it or say how to get this working with maybe another package or trick?

Mentioning to : [MENTION=5022494]Vivek_Neel[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Hmm.

Did u read the installation instructions ?

Flash ROM

Reboot

Again boot into recovery

Flash gapps

Reboot

Don't flash rom followed by gapps.?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Stuart Little:
I´m sorry i forgot using the search function ,

I hope to fix it with this trick :)

This rom will not be my daily driver.

I come from RR Remix ROM and i thought there were some better roms but they aren´t there.

I had two alternatives for RR Remix in my mind : Dirty Unicorns and this ROM .

Dirty Unicorns goog things:

Many features

init.d & build.prop tweaks enable and disable menu in settings

Bad things:

Keyboard is laggy no way to try another one because i have tried many keyboard apk´s ( latest versions )

This ROM:

Nothing is better then Dirty Unicorns except the keyboard is working good

Bad things:

Theme Chooser FC

Many themes are FC

Essential features that might needs to be added to this rom:

* init.d & build.prop tweaks enable and disable menu in settings

* Working Theme Chooser

Mentioning to [MENTION=5022494]Vivek_Neel[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
1st of all comparing some rom with other rom is not correct.....both rom r designed by different developers every developer will decide his rom feature as he want ....

2 nd I can rule out theme chooser coz issue. we have many users saying no issues with it....may be you might doing something wrong....

3rd init.d may be needed and may not be needed we added enough optimisations in rom.....I will think about it once again....

Any way thanks for review....

Also an suggestion wen u report bug in any rom plz report it along with proper logcat so that respective developers can figure out issues what you reported....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Stuart Little:
Sorry for comparing , but what am i doing wrong witht theme chooser?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
May be wiping .... A full wipe is needed asper my instructions in download site...

For finding issues logcat is best friend always...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Stuart Little:
I did full-wipe !

I won´t report it with logcat because i´m back on my other rom now :(

OMG this is btw my 1111th post !!!! OMG LOLOLO
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hyperthrust:
Hi AG. On next release will it be possible to have the power widget feature and battery power saving mode restored.

Getting really excited for when the sources for Android L get released. :)

They say ART works really well and better battery and performance.

Early Android L tests show serious battery life improvement http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/03/android-l-battery-life-volta/ via Engadget Android
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Yes we will have a look into that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] smokerman:
for it works fine..all themes i ve installed work fine..if you are like me and have some themes already on sdcard they may give error as they use old theme manager..for the new one install google store cm11 themes with support for new theme manager..it works 100%..im sure cause i ve changed like 10 times with different themes and fonts etc..;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] smokerman:
as you see only problem i found was on 4 screenshot..always awake..i did test a few tweaks and made some changes but without sucess..always like that and battery drains a lot faster..and look free ram: 434..wow,this rom is amazing..for sure one of my top 3 KK favourites, i love it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] midgardian:
Guys. Why I cannot use Google Launcher with this rom? When I cahnge DPI, icons are getting smaller. I've installed google launcher and last version google search but it's not in the HOME options. Can you help me guys?

P.S. : Other launchers are working.Just google launcher

Edit: Ok now working guys :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psydex:
So i decided to give M2 another try.

I did full wipe data/system/cache and installed as per instructions.

So far I found out Hover is not working at all (can provide video proof if needed).

Also when I tap on "Downloads" menu, android.process.media stops.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] midgardian:
ART working fine and also themes are working. Rom is fast and smooth. But my favourite is Boot Animation :) I'll try a few days. Thanks

Flashed M3 on full wipe and recommended slim gapps.

Booted fine without issues.:):thumbup:

APN settings is missing still there like in M2 so had to manually input it for my carrier and then data connected.

{Look up APN settings for your carrier on the net to input yours.]

ROM feels fast and smooth so will further test and report back later.:):thumbup:

Missing the options to colour pick certain things like locks screen text colour, etc.. Hopefully we can have some colour picker options in future updates.:)

On another note.

Can someone investigate please why fast dormancy app by Gokhanmoral no longer works on sokp since M2?:(

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gokhanmoral.fastdormancytoggle.i9300

For missing power wideget feature I'm using this app which seems to be good.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] midgardian:
Bud hi again. I've installed M3 but I didn't see the fix permission option in SOKP Tweaks. Do you know where is it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
That option is removed from ROM since MS02 ...you can do the same option in recovery ..twrp is the best for all these stuffs...

Sorry for inconvenience...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] midgardian:
I did but when I reboot my phone, rom is optimizing my applications every boot. It's bored me. How can I fix it. I don't want to change this rom but this problem getting me angry
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
To be frankly many users not having this only till now I heard from 2-3 users

May be some thing in ur setup is causing issues....there might be some apk causing wipe while rebooting every time ....plz have a check...try to take out logcat.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xhitm3n:
Did you checked the Init? there is as an option to wipe cache every reboot, and zipalign apps... that might cause that if you messed with it..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] midgardian:
This option does not exist in this rom. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leondestiny:
is this stable , no freezes no reboots ? i get alot of freezes on 4.4.2/4.4.3/4.4.4 :(

[Galaxy S II Android Development] smokerman:
it doesnt work.i did it 2 times full cycles.(on carbon, beanstalk,techfuzion+2 or endroix V it doesnt happen with same tests,i do the same on each rom to be fair and to have a good idea of the rom) .i ve reported that issue on MS2 and i ve tried last MS3 and still the same..even if i change to dorimanx or apolo..awake 100% and i didnt find any issue..i ve flashed a second time with different gapps (sokp v2 gapps 1 flash) pa microgapps second installation..problem remains ,so its rom problem..that is the only thing that keeps me away from this rom..its for sure one of the best KK roms for our s2..but with that issue battery drains me faster than ever..

anyway awsome work.:good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] psydex:
Don't be fooled by the long stand by time - I barely used the phone.

Yes, the issue persist even after few cycles. I've also noticed the phone lights up from time to time while locked. BBS doesn't show any suspicious activity.

I'm also noticing bad reception so it looks like i won't be using M3 anymore. Hoping for fixes :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] khalidr:
Battery drains faster on this rom...

Plz try to solve this issue....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
Get a log cat .....and detailed report what application installed and how much each application use how much % battery....

With out this type of report I can't do any things ... Also like cm we only support for bugs with stock sokp kernel.....

If you use any custom kernel or mod please ask solution for your issues in respective thread of custom kernel and mods....

Thank you

[Galaxy S II Android Development] smokerman:
the problem of being awake 100% is not related with custom kernel..it does the same on sokp kernel..im sure its rom problem..some little thing keeps the phone awake and doesnt enter deepsleep..i ve tried with no external apps installed..only with original rom files and apps..i will get a logcat..cause i really like this rom and all features.:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] khalidr:
I agree with u [MENTION=4284308]Audio God[/MENTION]...

I will try to get log cat .i have check it on stock n apollo kernel still have awake 100%...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hyperthrust:
Battery on 4th cycle on M3 on stock kernel. :) on dalvik mode.

So far rom has been stable. Not experienced any fc apart from when opening download app.

Also ive never experienced app optimising issues on dalvik. Only experienced it when using ART so its an issue with ART not dalvik.

In general and is well documented I believe kit based roms dont have great Battery life compared to stock based jb roms on Sg2. So im no expert when it comes to how good the battery life is on kit kat.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
It used 4.4 % in 10 hour 22 mins what more battery backup we need ?

Still it shows average time left is 12 hrd 9 mins...

So total is 22hrs and 30 mins.....what else we need ?

Forget JB this is kitkat ...[emoji6]

[Galaxy S II Android Development] hyperthrust:
I think you misunderstood what im saying. I wasn't complaining :p

I was sharing my findings and was letting other people decide if its good on kit kat cause I dont know whats good or not as this is the first kit kat rom ive used, cause they were complaining about drain and I was saying it wouldn't be as good as Jb yet .

For me its fine I don't care as I have a 3 spare batteries and just swap them out when I need to no problem :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Adi Shakthi:
Sorry I quoted you but your post gave me clarity so all questions diverted to users complaining about battery drain....[emoji6]

You have 3 batteries ....great setup then

No worries mate ;)

Yes we have a phone with the option to hot swap batteries on the fly so why not.

I can only use phones with removable Battery.

Trying to decide on my next phone SG5 or LG3. HTC m8 is out of the question because you can't remove Battery on that.
