To ArtfulDodger

Why do you use ART? It is much slower than Dalvik from my testing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I think on the right ROM it works great, however on some ROMs I have reverted to dalvik. The speed difference is minimal but there is some. So if it works right, I stick with it. In this case it turned out that wasn't the problem anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
New build and kernel uploaded. I fixed a known bootlooping issue occurring on KitKat for some users: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2-tmobile/help/bootlooping-wont-phone-kitkat-roms-t2833574

This bootlooping issue was originally created in the official CyanogenMod kernel, when dferg added a bunch of mutex locks to the keypad driver (one of the mutex locks he added locks onto a NULL pointer).

Going to look at adding BLN some time soon and fixing the device shutdown when using flash on low battery (this issue occurs with all ROM/kernels and is caused by battery degradation).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Gotta love CM's endless changes! Anyway I have installed both the new ROM and kernel, will report later on. Again, thanks for handling this so quickly.

BTW on the camera/reboot/low battery issue, it happens on the stock Samsung 4.4 TW ROMs also. I know someone who owns a Galaxy Light that was complaining of the very same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
The issue is caused by a large influx of power being requested that the battery can't supply, which is why the device shuts down (similar to a battery pull). I was thinking of cutting power to the display for a second when flash is used on low battery, but that didn't really work out. When a USB OTG peripheral is attached, the peripheral is supplied with 500mA of current (charger boost mode), so I might be able to make something that enables boost mode when flash is used on low battery, though I don't know if this would work. I couldn't find anything related to flash LED power, so for now I'm not really sure how to fix this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Things are running great after the update. Only glitch was when I was trying Trebuchet launcher and right after I opened Neutron the phone froze up like crazy. Looking at the logs it appears some stuff was going on with the launcher. Soon as I switched to another launcher the craziness stopped. This has happened occasionally with Next launcher too. Right now trying Go Launcher for the first time in a long time. Very smooth so far. Deleted Trebuchet altogether.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sagirfahmid3:
Hmmm Afwall+ (iptables GUI based app) is not working. I did a dirty flash though. Could someone please confirm if it's just me? Was iptables removed from the kernel? Last kernel was working fine, v 1.3.8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darcys:
I have determined the "connection lost" message that I am getting is from one of the apps I downloaded. I uninstalled all the apps I put on and the message went away. I am reloading the apps one by one to see which one keeps giving me the message. I'll let you know which one it is. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crazydude10:
I too had this same problem. I went back to latest cm nightly and it works fine. So it appears like the issue is limited to this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
Maybe it broke because I disabled CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QTAGUID starting from v1.4.0...

[MENTION=5996747]luxkore[/MENTION] could you give me a last_kmsg of the actual reboot you got while using AdAway?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] e20140:
Not sure if you're going in the right direction. Some 3rd Party Camera apps, Camera Zoom FX, doesn't have the flash issue. Thought you should know. It might just be the stock camera app itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] expo1122:
I find ART on this ROM seems to work nicely, the only downside is that I can't use WinAmp pro anymore. Going to try Neutron and see how I like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
No, this is definitely a power issue. Otherwise it wouldn't happen on other devices with completely different software (such as TouchWiz).

I just installed Camera Zoom FX, and out of the box it doesn't focus every time you take a picture. When the camera focuses a picture right before taking it with flash enabled, it uses low-power flash to focus the picture, turns off the flash, and then uses high-power flash to take the picture. Set the focus mode to "Click anywhere to auto-focus" in Camera Zoom FX and it'll probably crash when you take pictures with flash on low battery, since it'll focus before taking the picture and thus use flash more aggressively (turning it off and back on to high-power quickly). Right now, out of the box, Camera Zoom FX only uses flash once, and that's high-power flash to take the picture.

Camera Zoom FX out of the box:

you press the button to take a picture -> flash is turned on and set to high power -> picture is captured -> flash is turned off

Stock camera/Camera Zoom FX with auto-focus:

you press the button to take a picture -> flash is turned on and set to low power -> camera focuses the picture -> flash is turned off -> flash is turned on and set to high power -> picture is captured -> flash is turned off

The low-power flash mode has the same brightness as the Torch if you were curious. I'll create a new camera flash sequence to be used on low power.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sagirfahmid3:
Are you going to re-enable that module, because Afwall is quite useful for people worried about privacy. (I disallow all requests for Google keyboard for example, and some other apps).

For now, I've reverted to kernel 1.3.8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crazydude10:
Does 1.3.8 work wIth 5 and 11th oct builds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sagirfahmid3:
Yes, working fine here (Oct 11 build of CM).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrleathers:
Probably not that important but i was looking forward to an antutu score after a clean install of 10/11 build and newest kernel but antutu caused sys crash or shutdown without rebooting. It happens at 27% testing something with cpu (dont recall exactly). After manually rebooting, antutu now simply FC.

I've tried several more wipes and reloads, oc at1836MHz and no oc at 1512MHz as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I've even reverted to 1.3.8 kernel. I haven't tried reverting to earlier ROM yet.

I'm not sure how to pull a log showing the shutdown but this one shows the FC. Not sure what all the errors for camera is all about as that wasn't showing up in the first logs I had pulled.

Anyway, I'm not expecting any kind of fix but just thought I'd mention the problem. It could even be the app itself.

BTW, I'm using dalvik not art. I haven't tried art with this problem yet.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I had that problem too, read the logs and found this was caused by the app's inability to create a status bar icon while running the test. So I turned off notifications for that app in settings/apps and now it runs fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Latest battery life with 1.4.1 kernel and latest ROM. Full disclosure SOT was about 15 minutes and no calls/text. However Wi-Fi/data/location services were on 99% of this. Best battery ever since ownership and seems it improves all the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darcys:
I have slowly been reinstalling my apps and so far no more connection lost message. I haven't installed all my old apps but I am assuming it is an app with ads that can't get a connection. I don't need the other apps not installed yet so I will leave it as is. The ROM works great now. If I come across the troubled app I'll let you all know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kulkat:
I'm running the September 23 ROM with the 1.3.7 kernel and it is running well, except when I use WAZE. It seems if the app uses location services after a while it causes a reboot. Anyone else encountered something similar?

On the new ROM Oct 11, the mobile data menu where you check the usage and set the limits is gone. Is that moved somewhere else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfid4934:
Related issue.... Long pressing on the mobile data tile from the notification bar settings panel is throwing an error and causing the settings app to force close
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevenc88:
Some observations

I have been using the last few versions of this ROM, and I really like how it performs. I wanted to share a couple of observations of strange/bad operation.

1) Using the Oct 5 ROM, I connected my S2 to the PC expecting to see a USB Mass Storage device. Instead it shows up as only the Android ADB device (verified wth ADB). Is there some setting I need to enable to see the USB Mass Storage for this ROM?

2) I upgraded to the Oct 11 ROM, and found the GPS system to be very unreliable. It would most times fail to get a GPS lock, even when I was outside with no obstructions. I am an avid player of "Ingress" app which is a heavy GPS application. With the Oct 11 ROM, I seldom obtained a GPS lock. When I reloaded the Oct 5 ROM, things were stable again.

Keep up the good work! Love that my "old" S2 is still current!!

Cannot install pp-gapp for Samsung T-989

Why i cant install any pp-gapp for CM11 on Samsung T-989? When i installed it, it is said insufficient memory. Is there away to fix it for Samsung T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jaf5489:
Go to Settings > Storage > Bring up the menu > USB Connection > Media Device (MTP) for a fix.

Can't comment on GPS, I haven't had a chance to test it out myself.

Are you using the Gapps linked in the OP? If you install those, you should have sufficient space to install provided your SD isn't full with other data. Try deleting some stuff off your SD to free up space.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrleathers:
I had this problem too. I think its the calculator within the gapps zip file. You probably have enough space. I had this happen with pa gapps mini. Micro worked for me. They have had that problem before as I found out by reading older posts on that thread.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Try the GPS.conf fix. Google it. There's even a YouTube video on how to do it. Although I'm not sure if its your problem but worth a look.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skiboardty:
I can also confirm both of these issues. If you search using the magnifying glass in Settings, 'Data Usage' is findable, but when you select the result from the search it force closes settings the same way the long press on the mobile data tile does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrleathers:
If I'm reading the log right it says bandwidth module disabled .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DethKannon:
This ROM is easily the best I've ever had on my herc. very smooth, solid, quick, STABLE.

I'm still fiddling around with it, trying to get settings right: is there a resolution or screen DPI setting? some of my widgets/apps' text are massive.

Second, and this isn't a flaw in the ROM/kernel but my T-Mobile Visual voicemail will play one voicemail and then freeze up, not playing the next and eventually crash the phone. no FC's, no messages. This has happened with virtually any other ROM i've ever installed... and there has been quite a few.

The battery life. what can i say? it mirrors battery life i used to get on old flip phones. my phone under normal use would get 7-8 hours of battery life. this ROM is still kicking at 35% after 15.5 hours.

For install I used TWRP 2.7.1.0 -> full wipe, install rom, gapps, kernel and have had ZERO ROM related issues.

Thank you for your hard work on this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
I've finished implementing a low-power flash mechanism into the camera drivers to address the shut-down issue. The camera drivers didn't have a low-power flash mode, so I had to write a new low-power flash mechanism from scratch. Low-power flash is automatically enabled when your battery reaches 40%. To all of you whose phones shut down when taking pictures with flash on low battery, please test the kernel attached to the bottom of this post and see how it goes.

EDIT: Removed kernel. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56099029&postcount=209
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obscuresword:
Hello Sultanxda, I'm having trouble with upgrading the kernel for your rom. I'm not familiar with how the Aroma Installer works, but I went ahead and decide to give it a go. I went into clockworkmod, chose install zip from sdcard0, and picked "Sultan-kernel-Pure-v1.4.1-Hercules-Aroma" and got the Aroma Installation Instructions. I went through all of that just fine, but upon reboot the device freeze instantly, and then tries to reboot (which is unsuccessful). I can't use the touch screen or buttons for some reason. I then did a complete wipe 3 times, and all ended in the same result. Can you tell what's going on, and if I'm doing this correctly. Also I should mention that with the regular kernel it doesn't have this issue. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevenc88:
I see the exact same thing on my S2! Although usually after playing a visual voicemail when the voicemail ends, there is static / garbage data audio output for a few seconds (sometimes many seconds). I don't always crash the phone right then, but it eventually comes - I usually know I have to reboot the phone after playing a voicemail. Like you, it has happened on every other ROM installed - not specifically this ROM.

I thought maybe it was a hardware problem with just my phone, but sounds like I am not alone...

Save WM6 Wi-fi access point settings

I have posted this on another thread but will repeat it here as this seems to be the same issue.

My understanding is if there is any problem connecting to Wifi, WM6 deletes the Wifi settings for that access point. I think my friends have come up with a quick solution to this problem. Wifi Hero is a little application you can get for $2 that saves and restores your wifi settings using standard Windows Mobile APIs.

I got an HTC one X phone and while playing the phone shut dowh from battery. when i opened it i saw that the sim was not recognisable.

i checked the IMEI and i saw tha it is BLACK, there is no imei on the phone.

the phone is Tmobile from germany as i know and the android Software Version is 4.17.111.4, i tried to flas the (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe) and it says that the android version is not correct.

Can anyone help me please fix that issue? i am attaching image from the fastboot mode too.

if you have warranty send it for repair. if no try factory reset

then unlock bootloader and flash some custom sense5 rom and hope your IMEI will be back

is that the only solution. i got the imei at the case from the phone. isnt any way to put the imei manualy?

if that not possible can you tell me in few words or linkd how can i unlock the bootloader and which rom is the purest to install. (most similar to the stock)

[HTC One X] spark2331995:
first of all sorry for new thread as i narrowed down the issue..

my problem is that no matter which rom and gapps i use at the time of boot my battery temperature is around 65-70 c

and cpu temp is 50-55

sometimes the phone shut downs at boot only or sometimes luckily it works and i have to let it cool down and after some time the temperature of battery drops to 35-40 c ( which is normal i guess) and cpu temp is normal 40-50 c

and as soon as i do some task for eg installing app from app store or some file managing things the phone shows shutting down popup and it switches off( i am not able to note down the temp at that time as it happens anytime and when it happens i am not able to use the touchscreen :p)

and also if it working normal that is i am not doing some heavy stuff just some scrolling or image viewing it works fine but when i reboot the phone same problem again battery temperature around 65c

i am posting 4 screenshots from cpu temperature app

2 is of the just after boot and 2 taken after some time

and also just after boot the battery current shows too much i guess plz take a look (the changing curve screenshot)

fyi - i tried 3 kitkat roms 2 gapps, even tried downgrading recovery,flashed different radio,restored backup of a perfectly working rom from previous month.

thanks in advance :)

Are you s off or s on? Flash a stock sense rom and set your device to throttle at around 70-75c cpu
[HTC One X] spark2331995:
s-on and i also thought to give a try to stock rom ( relock bootloader and through ruu ) i will try it and report and by the way what do you mean by throttle 70-75c cpu???

I think you will not find RUU for your main version if you are with hboot more then 1.39
[HTC One X] spark2331995:
i tried going to stock with a nandroid backup which id downloaded

i flashed boot.img from it then from recovery wiped everything and then restored the backup

and then i also flashed the recovery (which doesnot work i guess as i go to recovey it show red icon abouve a phone image)

anyways the stock rom started and i thought the problem was gone but as soon as i just done few stuff and it went shutdown and the back was very hot

is it a hardware fault or software? as because in fastboot and recovery the phone doesnt switches off.

and if it is hardware fault then would it be a battery fault or some IC got corrupted?
[HTC One X] FaiselW:
Probably hardware
[HTC One X] spark2331995:
does it mean simply replacing the battery wont help ?
[HTC One X] FaiselW:
It might help. I read that replacing the battery with hox+ battery will keep cooler.
[HTC One X] XperiaSuperS:
How how how ???

but how ?

I have the same problem here (no root, LB, no TWRP or CWM)

I thought about flashing a custom rom with a different kernel (after unlocking, rooting and adding a custom recovery) with processor blueprints to keep my phone cool

but since you say a battery change could help, it made curious

how should it solve the problem, FaiselW ?
[HTC One X] FaiselW:
One thread shows that a one x plus battery fits in the one x. He also found that his phone was 10c cooler. Anyway i would change battery asap. 65-70c is a fire hazard.
