Question about Gapps for this

Please let me ask a question.

I'm currently on SlimKat, but as we all know Kitkat has a number of issues on I9100. I also have less battery life than when I was on SlimBean. So I want to install this Slimsaber Reborn ROM as I think it'll be better.

My question is, when installing Gapps for this, will I be able to have the latest version of everything except the Play Store? (Hangouts, Gmail, Google Now, etc). Also, will these be dark/TRDS?

Can somebody please try and give a detailed explanation about this?

Best regards,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xxsender:
after used two weeks in 0908 I back to 2607 it's more stable.

The 0908 little slow and did reset automatically.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
yes, you can still update those apps from play store.

you can even install latest play store manually.

the only difference is that those apps doesn't support trds.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] lations:
Thanks very much for the response, fusionjack.

TRDS is really important to me - the stock versions are too bright and especially when using the phone at night, it's almost blinding.

When you say "those" apps don't support TRDS, what ones are you talking about exactly? The Gapps linked in the OP? Or what? I know that some of the most recent Slim Gapps are dark (Hangouts is dark, but Gmail and Google Now are still white unfortunately).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
i can't remember what it was...it could be the same with 'alt default app grid' (settings - interface)

it depends which gapps package you installed: minimal or full. i can't remember the content of each of those: gmail, google search, youtube, etc...

the jb gapps is not updated anymore. so it contains old google apps. if you update them from play store, you'll lost the trds support.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
btw, concerning your feedback that previous build is better than latest build: i'll try to revisit 'R' this weekend to check the latest changes...

Thanks so much for you replies, and I'm sorry to keep asking questions, but....

The link in the OP links to 4.3.1 gapps - which you say are 'old google apps' - but you also say that it's possible to update them to the latest version?

Man, I really hope Android L comes soon because I hate having old apps, and I hate having blinding white apps!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OlMightyG:
At least youtube extracted out of the 4.4. Trds pack and manually added to the apps-folder works.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
i tried but failed...you can try to replace the apk from 4.4.x gapps one by one. some apks needs new lib files hence they are not working.

i read on kitkat thread that many users said swifkey doesn't work right on aosp. somehow it creates memory leaks and android system is killing some apps which results app fc or hangs.

Then i m ready to leave swiftkey in that case :P... Due to tis hang and reboot my memory card has been corrupted :( I have lost some photos. I think even the nexus users should hav the same issues. Though they have a greater memory they should not be in danger zone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
The strange thing is that I have absolutely no more problems with SwiftKey since I am testing cm11 by Markox89. I also have no problems with 'black Facebook' anymore although I am using slim GApps, very strange..

Maybe it is only imagination or I have luck at the moment or something is wrong in AOSP code.. Sorry I am no developer and can only say what I observe ;)

Maybe it is really something with the AOSP code then....or NOT:p...actually it's totally different in comparison with CM....and maybe AOSP has bad attitude towards badly coded apps like those mentioned numerous times.....because vast majority....better said...95% of apps are running w/o single glitch.....so.....what is what is a mystery IMHO:D

But everyone has a choice.....AOSP w/o badly coded apps....CM w/ badly coded apps...:)

hi,

how can i have extra high volume in my stock rom like you have in this rom? thanks a lot.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
Flash dorimanx kernel...(somewhere around here in dev section :) ) and open Stweals than set volume gain(s) in sound tab....oh.....don't flash branches 9.xx and 10.xx....you'll kill your rom...:p....flash branch 8....version 8.43 offical....and see...other than that...there are two more kernels or three....but I don't know of they support stock base and if they have Sound amp inside....but there's an app on playstore ...try searching for....Voodoo Louder....bit you have to purchase enabling via in-app billing :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaierHermi:
thanks a lot. that was a fast and helpful reply :)

i will check it out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OlMightyG:
And because dorimanx is sometimes buggy, try apolo kernel if it does not work well.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
Yeah sure....in some other reality bro......

My setup is rock stable.....so....think again...:p

And Apolo is "bugfree" .....C'mon ....give me a break....will ya?....Nothing is bug free nowadays....so...really....you should try the "beast" from my sig with my exact setup....I can even share my profile with you (like I never did, uh?? ).....we have a thread for this tho.....

And after you try above....and come back to say that dorimanx is buggy and some "X" kernel is bugfree...we can talk further if you wish:p....in beta thread....:p

You're welcome.....but please....do your homework and read OPs of development/discussion/ beta kernel thread if you didn't do so already.....just to avoid any big problems....like data loss, dead sdcards...etc.....And note that there is BETA kernel thread.....so be careful and ask before doing something unknown to you or such....Have fun;)

SlimSaber-i9100-4.3.1-20140831.zip

Changes:

dalvik/libcore: Reverted some commits that could bring instability

Kernel: Compiled with old 4.7.4

This shouldn't effect performance but it should bring better battery life. Let's stick with this one unless you noticed performance degradation.

Network speed indicator: Added an option to show or hide arrow icons

See changelog for the rest of changes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shiboby:

hi [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION]

[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Does the new version fix Whattsap vid sent? It works fine on your Slimsaber kitkat rom. On 4.3.1, only black

Can someone try with CFG- pegasusq? Seems to be a gov or schedule specific problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cirra92:
Haha, I'm sorry, I just have to disagree :P My device has never liked Dorimanx, even with tweaking. It does not necessarily mean that it will work for everyone if it works for you :) Not all S2 units are same, you know that. And yes, both Gustavo's and Apollo kernels were more stable for me :) Just as you said, nothing is bug free nowadays ;) No offense, it's my experience :)

As for the latest build, I am still waiting for the rom to settle, but old SM 4.7.4 shows good results so far, it may prove to be just a bit better than 4.9.2...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
How did you compare toolchain performance? And on which build did you test it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cirra92:
I meant on the kernel performance of the latest build, and the ones before, where kernels were compiled with 4.9.2. At least it's what FJ says :D

Anyway, build 8/31 showed better response (quicker) than 8/9 and 7/26, and note that the last build I used was 7/26 with full wipe. I had some unusual slowdowns before, when starting some apps, and for example keyboard pop up delays when trying to type... As for the battery life, I'll have to wait for 2-3 days :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
with a new device that i have and with my limited free time, i don't think i have time to port this. :(

sorry, not gonna happen. i think it'd take too much effort to integrate it and i have concern about battery life.

you can try dorimanx's swipe to wake. not sure if this is available for 4.3.1. ask [MENTION=3763274]rkoby13[/MENTION] :p

at least no specific changes for whatsapp. pegasusq and row are my favorite...(on stock kernel :p)

thanks for feedback.

i'll upload a kernel compiled with 4.9.2 to compare...as far as i can remember, there is no noticeable difference in performance between 4.7.4 and 4.9.2. considering many people said that gcc 4.9 has some nasty bug in android, i'd prefer using 4.7.4 if there is performance impact.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m1trand1r:
S2W(Slide to wake) is avaliable on all three branches.....it's only kernel dependent not ROM.....so anyone can use it on any Android OS version as long as one has dorimanx kernel installed....but....it's a battery drainer .....that's side effect ....hence I don't use it and I learned how to be gentle with HW keys....:p:p[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji481]

They are still working w/o issues.....for 2 years now.....flashing/booting/rebooting/waking up/powering screen off..... and what not.....We have Android not some NOKIA where one needs to press hard keys like a moron....I think peeps are still used to do the same....otherwise I think it's almost impossible to brick hw keys on.S-2....if you know a lil bit more

I have 2 questions.

1) Whenever I use GPS I get a GPS notification in the notification bar - in KitKat this is changed to a simple status icon that appears on the right-hand side of the notification bar, but apparently in JB it's an actual notification that must be dismissed.....is there no way to turn this off?? It's really annoying

2) Is it not possible to change the transparency of the tiles in the pulldown-drawer? The transparency of almost everything else can be changed, but apparently you can't change the transparency of the tiles themselves?? I used to be able to in SlimKat I'm sure...

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Ok, could somebody please tell me what on earth is happening here? I installed the rom fine, then tried to install Dorimanx 9.43 - got a black screen/insta-shutdown when rebooting, at the dorimanx logo.

So I read through the whole thread, and realized I needed 8.43 - DOH!

So, I went into recovery, flashed the SlimKernel that's listed in OP, rebooted fine, transferred 8.43 onto my device, rebooted, installed, and the same problem happened.

Why? Is 8.43 not the right version to be using?

You can try this kernel to compare the performance as latest build kernel is complied with 4.7.4

Is screen-mirroring a stock- rom feature?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
If I will answer your posted question, then YES. It's a Stock-ROM feature. :)

If your question would be:

"Is screen-mirroring a stock- rom ONLY feature?"

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Conny84:
No problems here!

I have a question though, prolly not ssr related: When I am playing an audio message via whatsapp and put something in front of my display, like my forearm, replay stops. Why is that so? Can I deactivate it? Also, a friend of mine coming from stock Samsung says, he is missing his phone not turning off display while looking at it. That's bs, isn't it? I can't imagine Samsung implemented that option on stock Samsung. On the other hand: I have never used stock Samsung..

Thanx! :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xxsender:
I think you can't turn it off because it's the sensor. If you play audio massage via whatsapp and put your phone near the ear (like regular call) so you hear the massage from the front speaker. It's like that because if you with a people around you and you don't that they hear the massage so only you can hear.

About your friend which phone he have?

From galaxy s iii their is a new sensor for keep the screen on when you looked at it.

Hope you got your answer

for now, it is hardly to find time to improve this version and based on some users feedback, some latest builds don't seem to work better although the commits are the good ones. so, i don't want make it worse and it is hard for me to test since i need to switch between 4.3.1 and 4.4.4 back and forth. therefore i'm thinking i'll only update this version if there is a security update.

About the V4A, it's either adjust your RAM Management to avoid V4A for being killed while OOM, or if you "Greenified" V4A, well, de-Greenify it. I have no issues with V4A on "R"... :good:

If you want an updated and also feature-rich kernel, go with DorimanX. If you want minimal but battery-saving kernel (since UV'ed), go with Apolo. For me stock kernel of "R" is enough though. Never had an issue with it, and smooth... :D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] souler456:
AFAIK, LOST.DIR folder is for file tasks (in your case, downloaded task) which has been cancelled due to certain reasons (in your case again, maybe full memory, interrupted download, etc...). You can safely delete files in there... :good:

About the data files, it's quite obvious there some Cache-compiling app that's under there. Since you're using SD Maid, try doing some SD Maid App Cache Scanning... Mostly it's browsers' caches, but just check all of 'em, just to be sure... :D

I also recommend you to check the /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails Folder. That folder also creates REALLY BIG Caches (mine went 1.5GB :eek: ). And deleting inside it might help you regain more free space you need... :good:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
probably those files are corrupted while media server indexing them.

i don't recommend storing big movies on device or at least create a .nomedia file so that media server doesn't index them, but then you need to start your movie manually from file explorer.

Didn't have that issue with removing it (inside of the folder, not the folder itself though)... Yeah... Better do a Full Clean Flash, since you may have some issues... Full Clean Flashing an update keeps the bugs away... :D

EDIT: Oh wait... I think I've misunderstood you... I was talking about "LOST.DIR" file in sdcard0. My mistake. Sorry... :(

/data/lost+found... correct? If so, then try cleaning it with SD Maid (forgot what cleaning operation it is, but SD Maid has one for lost+found...). Sorry again :(

I'm not having issues with Big-files Media files. I have 3 Movies (1GB each) and never had the issue. It's on my sdcard1 and formatted to FAT32. Never bothered putting .nomedia files on it (though it's a really good thing to have if you experience Media Storage problems). :D
