Cyanogenmod 12 for Samsung galaxy Express 2 home button not waking up the phone

Hello, after I installed the rom and flashed gapps , I noticed something rather strange happening to my phone... The home button did not wake up the phone, it works generally but does not wake up the phone. I have tried to modify system/usr/keylayout generic.kl key 172 HOME to key 172 HOME WAKE/ Key 172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED and it did not work .

I have tried today again the same thing and another strange thing started happening.. After saving the generic file modified with WAKE_DROPPED my power button did not work at all. I had to flash the rom again in order to get it working as I was not able to restart it to save the setting, after I managed to get an app that was able to restart my phone safely it still didn't work . I need some help with this one cuz it's rather annoying . Thanks .

Samsung Express 2 from Vodafone Romania?

Hi there

I buy my Express 2 from here (Bucharest - Romania) and I want to install CyanogenMod 11 on it. Is there any restrictions related to country ar something else? I mean, if i have this model and if i respect all the steps described on first post to install the Cyanogen 11 (for example) i will succed 100% to install it? If not - can i reinstall back the stock 4.4.2 from Samsung (with Odin) to have the phone like prior CM11 instalation?

I root the phone; is needed to be unrooted before writing the CM11 firmware?

Btw, I check the Youtube and i don't find any videos with this phone running CM11 or CM12. I would like to see one if someone of you have some links or record his own phone running CM11.

I will look forward for your responses

Are you able to use everything after a boot? Because I also get error messages on startup, but everything just works fine. So no, you don't need CM11 to install CM12.

Hello everyone,

Thanks "the Whisp" for this excellent CM12 rom to our express 2. This rom is very good in fluidity and performance (AnTuTu score: 22447), but it has bugs that should be corrected,? I have found:

You can not hear the sounds selected as ringtones with mp3 files, unless you copy them in the ringtones folder in the internal storage

In "performance" you only can select mhz processor limits once (performance) if you want to re-do you need to restart the phone.

com.qualcomm.timeservice process has FC, I have seen that this is a general failure in CM12 roms.

Whatsapp gives error when restarting the phone. It forces you to enter in the date&time options

Messenger (the application of text messaging) gives FC

it switches to maximum brightness when he wants without apparent explanation

With the phone turned off if you plug to charge the screen remains lit. And the phone warms much.

You can not change the photo storage from internal memory to SD in the camera options

Hi again.

I solve the situation with another timeservice.apk. This one is not for my phone but is giving no error at starting. I just copied over the existing one and now is ok.

Is too early to release my oppinions about this release. Is just installed. I installed directly after cm11 and Aokp and from yesterday until now i charge the phone twice....too much i can say....i was used with a 2-3 days charging cycles before. So bad note until now....on the other side i use the phone almost all the time in this period because i was very curios about this release, so maybe is the correct result...

What i can surely say: this cm12.1 is the most beautiful among the other ones until now; but if will not last least 2 days or if will act strangely i will go back to aokp.

Conclusions

Hi

I switch back to AOKP. Is the most stable on my phone.

Unfortunatelly CM12.1, even if is that nice and optimised, consumes battery and is unstable. I feel sorry because i cannot use it daily - because i like the lockscreen, the toggles, the lockscreen notifications, the battery informations in charging mode and more...

So - i look forward for the future releases of cm12.1

Best!

Hi.

You have a baseband incompatibility problem.

Please be sure that you install the latest stock rom for your phone. Immediately after you install it is recommended to boot in recovery (samsung recovery offcourse) and reset to factory. (wipe data/factory reset)

In this way you will erase all the traces of an previous installations... And be sure that you do the stock rom installation with Odin 3.09/3.07 or 1.85. Not 3.10, ok? Tested.

Anyway - if the phone is ok - the latest stock rom for him must work!

Good luck!

This is not happening in May build.

So, i experiencing no major issues until now (except timeservice - but i fixed manually). Maybe camera is not working as well like in cm11 (it seems to be lazy on focusing) but is working ok - really. Also i uninstall Skype because i have the feeling that keeps the phone awake - even with this permission denied... I have to mention that i do a fully wipe before installing (with samsung stock recovery and phils recovery). In these conditions my phone lasts 3 days like i use (phonecalls, some wifi home after work, some mobile data ocassionally - so no hard usage) and is not restarting randomly, is charging ok, is suitable for daily use etc...

I have similar problems with anamorphica:

First of all I do have root access but it is little bit tricky. First I rooted my stock SM-G3815 with ODIN and everything seemed to be okay. Then I flashed your CM12.1 with full wipes. After flashing CWM recovery keeps asking "Root access possibly lost. Fix?" everytime I reboot from recovery. I flashed SU binary like you suggested but it doesn't change anything. Here comes the strange thing: If I reboot my phone without going to recovery first I lose root access. So everytime I power on my phone I have to do it via recovery and answer yes to question "Root access possibly lost. Fix?". I already tried flashing stock rom and CM12.1 again but same situation. Any fix to this issue? It is little bit annoying that if I don't remember reboot via recovery I lose root access and to get it back I need to flash CM12.1 over again with full wipes.
