Apollo had no problem finding music for me, it was personal ringtones and notification sounds were not showing up. After resetting and rebooting the media scanner it found them and would play one but not the other. Oddly it was in the list but would not play any sound for the notification.

Got a RR, last_kmsg included a report of a kernel bug at mm/slub.c:3014
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
Could you post the whole last_kmsg? It might've just been a fluke, because I looked at mm/slub.c:3014 and found that the circumstances for this crash are very very very very rare & unlikely to occur.

You need to upgrade your recovery to twrp 2.8 in order for it to install.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
Here are my findings (the last_kmsg is at the bottom).

I thought it was the purge assets option, as the error has to do with memory (to my understanding). But after disabling that, it certainly didn't change anything. I tried using different graphics drivers, too. Nope. Still RR.

Not very frequent though, once every few hours. No specific app triggers it, it just happens.

Could you install the v1.4.6 kernel and give me a new last_kmsg when you get a reboot? I enabled some extra debugging in v1.4.6 that'll make it a lot easier for me to find out what's happening.

Can't do that at the moment, sorry! But I did install a previous version (1.4.3) and no RR so far. I'll edit this post if I get any stability issues. I'm almost certain it's a recent change.

I have a question

Hello good day, this rom is stable? to install apps without problems, I have installed cm 10.2.0, and sometimes the camera fails me, and It only detects a battery charger in specific, this rom accepts "otg"?

thanks for your help and time to read my question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
Yes, it is stable and the camera works. I haven't tested otg.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kepler1729:
It's the best ROM I've ever used. 'nuff said.

:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Orionpax5000:
thanks

Thanks for your help, do you recommend me a kernel for this rom, or the integrated by default is magnificent? did you ever had problems with the chargers?, for example, i have 3 chargers, nokia, BB, LG and only the Nokia's charger works.

I just need to know this, to encouraging me to install, I am also interested installing the ROM carbon but I see that is based on the nightly of cm11.

thanks for the support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
The built in Kernel is why we use this ROM. This rom is also based on CM11. CM11 will always have some bugs but none of them have to do with the charger. Most likely your charger problems have to do with a bad micro USB socket on your phone, or the charger is bad. Currently this rom is better than Carbon, Carbon is not going to support the Hercules (t989) anymore.

When you install the rom wipe everything except your SD card.

I agree with this 100% and I can say it's about the only one I've been satisfied with for as long as I have (Beanstalk came close in the early days of owning this phone a year ago). Over two months now and no plans to change, and won't be until I get another phone. Speed and TOTAL stability. Don't need anything more than that.

Got it. Appears to be net related... It crashed in some generic net code, which is very strange and hard to debug. You didn't get these crashes with any other kernel? Also, are you using a VPN?

EDIT: Actually, I think I found an upstream Linux fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
No VPN, no other kernel does it.

And hey man I find the weird **** haha ;P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
Attached a kernel to the bottom of this post with the upstream Linux fix. Try it and see how it goes.

Literally all of the custom kernels here except for mine have been updated to the latest generic Linux version (overall not a good idea to update it), so they all had this bug fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
Upstream fixes did the trick.

Did the new kernel fix the Netflix jumbled black and white video? I would like to hear reports before I flash it on my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
The v1.4.7B1 kernel I posted above has something that might fix Netflix. I don't have a Netflix account so I can't test this.

(Screen recording and the green camera glitches are fixed with the kernel above)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
Not sure if related, but I got an RR with new kernel.

Sent email with lastkmsg (sorry on vacation)

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Also, this bug is associated with all CyanogenMod roms, but if you want to try and fix it:

Open snapchat on anything besides the main camera screen

Attempt to make phone call

Don't hear other party?

To fix:

Set all three volume levels to zero

Reboot

Set back volume levels

Calls work until snapchat gets opened
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DarthRyu:
oh ok thanks. How do I manually flash the kernel? sorry for sounding like a noob lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
That bug is associated with all KitKat ROMs for this device, not just CyanogenMod. A plain reboot fixes it.

Have you been getting these reboots while using WiFi?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
I'm pretty sure the RR happened when WiFi was connected, yeah.

Flash the zip that he posted in your recovery. It'll overwrite the older kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
Under Performance, I set the minimum CPU speed to 196, I checked it a day later and its defaulting to ~1100 and won't let me change it, rebooting didn't help or the check box. Sultan, is it possible to add minimum cpu speed in the aroma installer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
The minfreq is already set to 192MHz. Go to Performance and don't touch your phone at all for 1.5 seconds; the minfreq will go back down to 192MHz on its own. The minfreq is changed by CPU Input Boost to 1134MHz for 1.5 seconds every time you touch the screen or press a button on your phone. This is so that your phone is guaranteed to feel smooth every time you interact with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
I waited 10s and it stayed at 1134. I then unchecked the apply at boot, rebooted, and it's back to 192.

Funny because I never set it to 1134, I set it to 192 and clicked the check box. Strange because before it wouldn't let me lower it to 192, it kept reverting back (and I did wait for it to settle).

Thanks man, your the best :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
It appears I get the RR also when WiFi was just enabled, not even connected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skiboardty:
I'm also still suffering from the RRs, although not nearly as frequently as with previous versions of the Kernel. Running the beta attached above, dirty flashed over the previous release.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] es0tericcha0s:
It's not good form to complain about RRs if you dirty flash. Although it is annoying, and you might just be offering the info to be informative, but you take that chance when you don't flash the rom properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] newmab:
Any chance DNL capability could be added to the kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
The kernel should never crash.

What's that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] newmab:
Sorry typo. BLN Backlight notifications.

New build uploaded with a fancy changelog :)

Your reboots and [MENTION=5996747]luxkore[/MENTION]'s were the same, and they should be fixed in the new build; if not, then please give me more logs.

Oof, I still haven't got around to adding BLN. I'll look at it for the next release.

Let me know if you need more than the Last_kmsg log that's in your inbox - still getting RRs.

This latest build does feel snappier on my device though - not sure if its a placebo effect or if it actually IS faster since I don't benchmark.

Thanks for the work you've done for this old beast!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luxkore:
As reported above, new kernel still produces RR from kernel panic... but much less often.

I'm emailing you the last_kmsg now as "Yet Another KMSG".

Please let me know if you find anything.

PS: good job with the stack overflow fix (I think it's been patched correctly)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Orionpax5000:
excellent rom, but...

hi, could someone give me a little tutorial to install the kernel? i can´t find the "aroma installer" in the device.

Excuse my ignorance about it, i encouraged to install the rom and all excellent, except that at the power off and on or restart, is removed the customization of icons on the home screen in the 2 launchers, but otherwise this excellent.

Thanks and good day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kepler1729:
Just flash the kernel zip he same way you flashed the ROM zip. Aroma is built in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] trini.cateyez:
Hello,

My phone is unlocked. Will this rom work? I installed a custom rom before, but it did not detect the GSM radios. Please advise.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
Yes it will work. When you update to these newer Kitkat ROM's you need to update your "Radio" (there are two different radios depending on the region you live. Before doing that you should update your "Recovery" (either CWM or TWRP).

So...

-Update your Recovery

-Boot to your recovery, "wipe" everything except for your external SD card, your zip files should be on that SD card.

-Install the ROM, the radio, google apps (optional) and finally optionally the kernel. The Kernel is already included in the ROM, but by flashing it will allow you to customize some of the features.

After you boot into the new ROM you can let it settle for a few minutes and then do a battery pull. You should only really have to do that one time, future ROM/kernel's don't need that battery pull.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] trini.cateyez:
I just installed the rom, google apps and kernal, and I had no issues. Thank you for your assistance.

Running Fantastic

I have flashed so many ROMs on this phone that I've lost track of what I've tried. Until this ROM, I have ALWAYS encountered some problem or another. You name it, I've encountered it. About a week ago, I was finally shopping around for a replacement phone. I was so fed up. I decided to give it one more try and flash a copy of Kitkat. I did a Google search and stumbled upon this particular ROM. Boy oh boy, am I glad I did. My phone is now running smoother than the day I bought it (nearly 3 years ago).

Thank you so much for your dedication to this older model phone!

Just FYI: I just installed this but now I get a RR when trying to navigate with maps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Just tested navigation with the latest Maps version, didn't have any RRs. This may have happened because you ran out of memory. I use a script to set high RAM minfrees to help with this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kepler1729:
Do you have these issues with the script disabled?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eric93se:
Just to add my experience fixing the gps.conf file using the TopNTP app. I kept all 4 options stock, global/generic/gordon/google. But because I want my map apps to work offline I changed the one option "default_AGPS_enable=true", I changed that to false, just click on it and it will let you change it. To load AGPS info and let the gps get the satellites in your area a little faster the first time, I used an app called "SatStat". in its menu it has the option to get AGPS info, so with data or wifi on it will load that info. The very first time your connecting to satellites it will take a few minutes but after that it should be very quick. In my case with data and wifi off in the car and setting GPS to device only, it connected to several satellites in just 10 or so seconds. I use OSMAnd for offline maps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
If I don't use it, yes. Minfrees set in apps like Trickster don't stick. Things get a bit laggy, and as RAM gets worse, I get the occasional RR. Supposedly lower RAM minfrees make for better multitasking too but that has never been the case for me. Of course if set too high that won't help too much either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] menaceinc:
Wow, great ROM. This is the first time I installed the cust rom on this phone, it runs as good if not better than when I first got this phone 3 years ago. Thanks a lot.

A stupid question, if I install the next rom update, do I still keep the setting and apps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jst_curious:
This might be a dumb question, sorry, noob here. Could I install this on a T989D? Should I expect any issues (compared to installing it on a T-Mobile T989)? Tx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coch:
I've been using it on a T989D and it's running fine. There are occasional issues, some were reported above (although I haven't experienced those myself) but it's been my experience that generally you shouldn't expect more issues using ROMS intended for the T989 on the T989D. I've been doing this using various ROMS for a few years. I believe hardware is the same for both ( or almost the same) so when you install a custom ROM there's no difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drizze99:
Well, I have been looking for a ROM to install on my son's Hercules and you my friend have sold me on this ROM. I'll try to flash it tonight and see how it goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Good luck, I make no guarantees but I will tell you for once I am actually happy with this device for the first time in a long time. I have dropped the idea of a new phone for now. Whatever features are missing from the other ROMs I have compensated with other things or don't miss them enough to notice. Liquid and PA are awesome too but this ROM hits the stability end of things with a bulls-eye. Far as performance, that Quadrant score above is the highest I have ever achieved, beating the mark set by Beanstalk earlier in the year.

I think Sultan nailed the issues specific to this device perfectly (as can be read in the OP) and that has made all the difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
I read this... Literally out loud said "damn." And am now downloading this ROM. Stability is what has made me flash happy lately. I have actually been backtracking to older ROMs seeking the stability I once had with this device. I'm downloading this. I'm using this. I think I might be happy again.

THANKS to Sultan for this. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drizze99:
Yep, my sons biggest gripe with this phone is complete instability and mine as well. I hope all my pain goes away with this ROM because right now I classify this phone as a big P.O.S. and I have been regretting the fact that I chose this phone for him. My old Samsung Galaxy (Vibrant) runs circles around the SGS2 in terms of stability and performance. I have had a strong dislike for the SGS2 since about day 1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
If I didn't know the user name, your comments would look as if I wrote them! After nearly a year I have had about all I can stand and two weeks ago came within an eyelash of forking out the $350 for the 1+1 to escape this thing. Flashing ROMs is supposed to be fun, not a necessity. Months of trying every ROM under the sun, every script, tweak and app just to be able to do simple things like web browsing and listen to music (or better yet, even get the phone to boot or not RR!) is ridiculous. At first you point the finger at the ROM, then at yourself and then finally you realize the phone is the problem. So having this ROM is a happy day.

Anybody even find one bug on this ROM yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
Want stability? THIS IS IT!

So, a little more than 24 hours on this ROM now... No FC's, No RR's, just perfection! I have tried my hardest to crash this ROM, and I can't. Facebook, Reddit, Several Downloads, Streaming over Bluetooth...All without closing an app, just hopping one to the next, and this ROM doesn't skip a beat!

I haven't changed a thing! No need for Kernel controllers, no need for Greenify! This ROM, DAMN! I'm sorry to sound like a broken record here, but it is that stable! I haven't had this in a long time with this device. Flashing this ROM is the best thing I have done to this phone. I even "injected" some of my own ringtones right into the ROM itself, and everything works great! OP is spot on!

Greenify - No need

Kernel Controllers - No need

Operation KillJoy - No need!!!

If I were to go buy a Galaxy S2 RIGHT NOW, this is what I would want out of a device. It runs just as smooth, if not smoother than any other device running KitKat. Don't believe me, and everyone else? Make a backup, and flash this... I bet you won't flash another ROM, and I also bet you won't restore that backup either! The worst thing that could happen is you lose 30 minutes of your day. That is all... Carry on...

EDIT: I will be testing GPS extensively here shortly... I'll update...
