Hi!

Is there any chance to get an updated version without the Stagefright bug?

I think this would be a great oportunity for massive donations... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 Questions & Answers] AmbientBenji:
Don't expect much. There aren't any vanir updates for de xcover 2. Also today IBM announced that an App from android 4.3 trough Android M can get all privileges through a bug in OpenSSL. So if you want a secure OS, buy a new phone. Or maybe samsung is going to patch the old xcover 4.1 ROM.

Redid the whole thing with new detailed guide at post 188 and only had to copy Vanir + Gapps to ExtSDcard and boot to CWM and install zip.

All started and worked very well but NO mobile network, even that I had to text SIM-pincode to unlock it before entering the phone.

Baseband is still AMB6xxxxx to keep mobile network operational as several guides said, then installing vanir 4.4.4 over that through CWM.

Tried twice with wiping all prior to installing, but only Mobile network was not able to start at all....

So I have to solv mobile network first now.

I flashed with second, deodexed and prerooted AMB6...-link(from stock uppdate ....AND2) mentioned in above post.

Still no network at all, while everything else works perfectly.

Do I need prerooted odexed ...AND2 instead or the other rooted one with 7710L-status as a base, before installing *.zipfiles from physical external SD-card in CWM?

No DeepSleep on my XCover 2

Hi everybody!

Some weeks ago I installed the latest Vanir 4.4.4.102115 on my XCover 2.

Works perfectly, nice and smooth.

One thing, 'though: The battery (it's a new original battery) only lasts for about 22 hours. During these 22 hours I used the phone not much e.g. half an hour. No Network services and no GPS enabled.

I installed Wakelock Detecter and it tells me that the phone is never going to DeepSleep.

Does somebody know about the DeepSleep problem and maybe has a solution for it?

It doesn't work? For me it works great on Vanir AOSP since a few months now. What did you do?

The Flashlight on locked screen I knew already. But you have to switch on screen for this. I don't really like this idea. I don't want to make a photo though [emoji12]. For Xposed Torch the screen has to be left off, then long press the Vol+. The device vibrates once and switches on Flashlight after that. I guess you know, how to activate Xposed modules.

Funny clock behaviour

Funny thing happened several times:

I went to bed around 23:30

I didn't touched the phone for several hours (wifi and mobile data was off, battery saving off)

In the morning the alarm didn't sound at 6:15

I woke up at 7:22 and when i pressed the home button to check the hour, the alarm started,

the notification said "You have a missed alarm!"

I have also disabled automatic date&time update from network, but the same thing happened.

I doesn't happens every night.

Maybe it happens when the battery is low ?

Last time was around 20%

still GSM signal problems

Hi,

I'm pretty new to the forum so I couldn't post on the main thread about Vanir 4.4.4..

I've tried everything that's written about it in the main thread and I still have intermittent GSM signal (doesn't matter if 3G or 2G). And now even reverting back to stock ROM doesn't help, it's intermittent even on stock ROM. I did the procedure with flashing to XXAMB6, applying set of commands in terminal and then flashing Vanir. The "find" command was not working so I did this set. No improvement. Signal goes up and down in places where it should be stable on maximum or it disappears completely for a while.

Have I done some deep changes to efs / modemfs that even reverting back to stock doesn't help? Are there any commands that could fix it or is the hardware now damaged and I need service?

At the moment I have latest Nightly flashed (112414), IMEI is fine but I have no Baseband version (XXXX).

Everything else work great, smooth, plenty of memory available, great ROM. Just this signal issue.

Please help.
