That huge zip size is generated in 99 % by apps apks not by script which is used to do some "tweaks". Without apks size of this zip will be approximately 8 mb "heavy".

All I can do to reduce its size, is spliting archive to parts, because zipping package with better compression alogorithm = zip is not flashable (yeah, that's very weird).

AFAIK there is no option for init.d script. As to tweaks, I need to learn more about scripting and do more test then maybe I could add more tweaks option to the project, because due to the script limitation I can only operate on premaded files. Keep that in mind, because when we want to add new tweak, we need to use the most common option of it or create x config files for x options. Anyway, I think that for now, form of the ROM Setup is acceptable.

I don't create separate topic for this project, because I want to keep this ROM related files in one place but I thinking about doing that in near future.

I experienced problem with root operations like: copy, move, paste. I have to do it twice or three times in a row to make it work as I want.

BTW: Send me PM with the names of the apps you want to see in this "Setuper". I check what I could do. ;)

Thanks for advice but I think swaping storages is some kind of tweak not the normal installation routine also it is connected with repartitioning. Correct me if I'm wrong

I remove exchange app and tested if gmail app itself will be handling that types of account. Unfortunately it's not. In next release I add option to delete this system app too but with proper info.

Exchange accounts are used to connect Microsoft accounts (work mail and etc.) and others to your device so you could recive emails, notifications etc. from comapny, organisation...

I will contac S.AMU later (when my project grows up). For now my Google Drive is enough. ;)

/system partition is mounted usually only as READ (not READ/WRITE) ... but using CMFileManager when u try to edit files on /system .. it just remount system as rw automatically ... and sometimes it shows error that the operation was not successfully ... but if u check it (with refreshing the folder) u'll see that it was successful :)

cm-11-amazon-test-codina.zip is up ! ... can u pls test there if amazon pics are working ?

Test some Variants ... also when tapping on the blurred image .. and then double tap for full size ... maybe somewhat is fixed now or it has different behavior ?? ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:

With amazon pics nothing change at all in that test build. Images are blurred but sometimes very small part of image is visible (it's rare).

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION], is uploading video from the gallery in instagram working for you with FFMpeg H264 encoder? For me actually the only working codec is a google's one (as originally supposed by Meticulus' fix). And afaik, this fix requires skipping the configuration of SW encoders/decoders - https://github.com/golden-guy/andro...av/0010-av-Skip-S-W-codec-configuration.patch - this is done for google codec but not for ffmpeg.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I don't have insta account ... but according to 2 or 3 reports it works fine with my modified Meticulus patch i was told u before here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67006437&postcount=4933

But first i was trying to use the meticulus MediaCoded Workaround untouched .. and Live-Video stream was working in slow motion and with no sound at all .... but insta was fixed lol.

Also i've tried to use ffmpeg decoder ... because according to the logcat it was trying to use an decoder and not an encoder ... but for some reason it didn't worked at all. After i've switched to ffmpeg encoder it finally worked fine without to break live-video stream.

Note: i've also tested original patch but without the patch to skip the config ... and it worked AS WELL !

That means live-videostream + insta = OK.

That Variant uses:

for video/avc decoder = OMX.ffmpeg.h264.decoder

and for video/avc encoder = OMX.google.h264.encoder

see here:

New ROM Build is Up !!

20160526 ROM:

CM Source Update

It was moreover an last attempt to see if an update of CM Sources will finally fix Amazon pics ... but still no luck -.-

Probably that bug will stay for ever :(

It's a chromium source bug or just outdated Mali-400 Driver ...

Next Update:

Final Build: full package .... proper updater-script, NovaLauncher instead laggy trebuchet + some more useful freeware apps ... also updated LCD Drivers for 100% smoothness :)

[MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] any ideas if there is some available update for our GPU Driver ? for kernel + ROM side ??

Maybe it'll fix chromium issue.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
By the way i installed 20160526 and the other one. With the first, Amazon pics don't show up, as usual. With the second, some parts of the pic get visible but it's still blurred.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
I don't think it's GPU blobs issue. I finally managed to test amazon pics on 6.0.x - it's working at least on UltimateROM (tested only pics from the main page - didn't I miss anything?).

Mali blobs update is not feasible for our STE u8500 platform - from what I saw in UMP lib sources (partly dissambled by hand), it uses a specific code for the HWMEM frontend. While there are some open parts of code for UMP lib, you can't just find HWMEM frontend code anywhere - it's closed, that is. The same applies for the rest mali blobs (with the difference that they are with fully closed source).

The only way to use updated Mali blobs is to switch to another frontend, such as ION. The problem is that, so far I haven't seen any generic implementations of ION - you can use ION implementation from another devices with no guarantee that it will work at all. Even if it would somehow work, you will need another blobs for the whole multimedia support (which again has no any open-source generic implementation, but only device-specific). But there are at least open source gralloc and UMP lib for ION provided by ARM for Mali, the pitfall is that you can't use them without the proper ION support in kernel and blobs for ION allocator.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
what do u mean by "second" ?? - the specific amazon-test-codina.zip build ???

u need to tap on an item image ... and then again ... the pics on the main amazon are ok ... (the small thumbnails)

[MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] try to open that pic with your stock browser on the phone:

https://www.amazon.it/gp/aw/d/B00GJ...inkCode=df0&pc_redir=T1&tag=googshopit-21:126

if u see the image, than u've fixed it !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Yes ace2nutzer.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
This image is shown in stock browser, but probably it's not very useful info for you as google omitted libwebviewchromium.so lib building on Marshmallow (still don't know how it's implemented now, but this blob is missing on 6.0.x this lib is a part of webview.apk now).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

not so bad .. so it was working all the time on 6.0.x ??? i thought on every newer android version than 4.4.2 it'll not work ....

Did u change something related n order to fix it ??

[MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] that's good ! - Maybe this is the last chance to fix it ... because i've removed that function: "shrink-to-fit" from only one file .. instead of approx 15 lol :D Actually i'm completely removing this function ... since it's not fully implemented and cause problems with scaling pictures to smaller resolutions ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
I don't think I was doing so, as I didn't know about this issue until it was reported in this topic.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
thanks for the info ... that means google have it fixed now ... anyway it seems that they really don't care much to fix it on CM11 too .... but ... ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]

Glad to hear that ROM is coming to the final stage. ;) I update my ROM Setup project after Final ROM release. Now, I focus to help you with testing possible fix for Amazon pics.

[MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION]

I try to make for you flashable zip which you can use with opengapps to repair broken swype, not leaving the recovery. Just be patient. :) Unfortunately I couldn't incorporate that lib into opengapps install process.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

u need an linux OS .. and then the proper needed compression / decompression modules ... then it works.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
So have you found where appears this message? Isn't better to revert it to 4.4.2 to see what changes were made since 4.4.2?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yes :) Just check logcat that Dr360r had posted .... it's because of unsupported KEY "shrink-to-fit" .... nothing else .... (i hope so)

Well actually removed it from 13 Files ... now it's compiling .... so lets see later if it'll finally work properly ... or at least better .... ;)

btw: i was already trying to compare chromium_org repo CM11 vs. CM10.2 branch ... but unfortunately i can't find CM10.2 sources ... they just removed it ?? lol ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] PolishVodka:
You using Google's webview as default, not AOSP. Same like SergeyL in his CM12/13. From Lollipop you can switching between webview, thats probably the reason why this working on 5.X+ Roms.

I was using AOSP webview (webview.apk + libwebviewchromium.so) even from other device and was working somehow on Ace 2...

Anyway, stock AOSP browser sucks as hell, I've always using Chrom browser which has its own webview (video playback was working without laggs on non-fullscreen view).

PS. LG G2 has too only Google's webview in stock LP as i see.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Amazon pics not showing up on 160527.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
You can probably use AOSP branch instead of CM one (don't think it differs too much), though it's probably not a good idea to diff 4.3.x branch against 4.4.x as there are too many changes compared to 4.4.2 vs 4.4.4.

There's a patch that allows switching between these webview packages via build.prop setting, though I don't remember if I'm actually using google's webview (I don't even install gapps). Though, if google now includes own webview package on MM AOSP, it's possible.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Thanks, good idea, i'll give it a try ;)

[MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION]

Now it's compiling 27/05 with AOSP Chromium_org:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/chromium_org/+/kitkat-mr2-release

Right ? ... I hope it'll work, this is probably the last try ;)

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Compiling error with mr2 release.. Need to check it later why... And yes good idea to try also wit 4.4.2 branch.

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]

New Mardon Gapps is avaliable to download like [MENTION=6542205]Culateralligator[/MENTION] said. In the link below you find Opengapps with working swype out of the box. Feel free to use it in any way. :)

[MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION]

Finally I incorporate working swype lib to the Opengapps zip. Just install it, and swype should work out of the box. You'll find it HERE. I will update the package every month. I think that is good solution. If I'm wrong, correct me please.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] [MENTION=5701712]shaqman89[/MENTION] and rest of you guys!

Like I said couple posts before, I made a script which installs ROM and Kernel in a row. You will find a test build HERE

Could you guys check if it works for you and not giving any errors after setting up and using the phone? I tested it by myself and it's working fine for me.

When it will be working for most of you (or all of you) I start to call it stable. ;)

I do not modify any files except updater-script.

Package info:

- Latest ROM with incorporated latest kernel (2605 ROM and 1705 Kernel),

- modified updater-script

Changes:

- ROM and Kernel installs in a row by flashing one zip file,

- more user friendly (or verbose) installation (more info on the screen),

- installation progress bar now should work properly (visual side - progress bar is full when the installation truly finish, gain is stable and adequate to installation process),

- installation time is approximately 65 seconds,

- package weight increased to 220 mb due to incorporated kernel (kernel folder in the zip),

- zip name is the same as ROM to avoid any flashable lost bug.

Testing method:

1. Flash one of previous ROM and kernel build,

2. Do the first phone set up,

3. Reboot to recovery,

4. Wipe cache... and etc. like you will be flashing ROM and kernel in normal way,

5. Flash downloaded zip and choosen GApps in a row then reboot to the system,

6. Use like always - every day use.

BTW: To keep this topic clean I decide to make my own website and XDA topic. There I'll be posting info about my projects.

Everythings works in this custom?

I question because i think to changemy current AOSP rom with this one. I have newest AOSP and ace2nutzer kernel.

In AOSP my battery drain is very fast.

When i play on Drastic DS (without Data connection, minimum brightnessno gps, no localisation serviceairplain mode).

My battery on 100% go down to 30% in 3 hours.

But AOSP is stable as hell and fast.

Anybody use this rom everyday and may to may question?

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Sorry, I haven't got the chance to test it yet. I'll give it a shot this afternoon.

Anyway, just an idea, since it is already based on aroma script, wouldn't it be a nice idea to also include wipe cache etc as a optional step in the aroma? That way it would really be in one go.

That sounds a good idea. Would you mind sharing the link here first? I couldn't find which topic you meant just now.

Will do, in a moment. ;)

That's true, but in some cases it could be set as a default tweak. One place I've seen this is the installation of archidroid.

Anyway, good job :good: :good:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:
[MENTION=5701712]shaqman89[/MENTION]

This one isn't based on Aroma. I combined two scripts from zips into one and I add some "patches". I think pre installation steps everyone can do themselves, because it may vary for device. My idea is to keep this as simple as possible. Maybe after Final build when the updater-script will be proper I give a try porting it to Aroma.

Since some days I use 20160516 Rom and 20160517 Kernel.It´s fast and stable,the Battery consumption is slight.Adittionally I want to recommend Shady Browser to incorporate because it only needs a few permissions.And a question:NewPipe(You Tube without Play store) from F-Droid intermits always-is it possible to correct there something?

Edit:New Pipe works now.To close it and wipe App Data was enough.

I have a problem with this rom.

Now I have AOSP rom with Ace2nutzer Kernel (

ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.x_20160517_codina.p.l)

I try change to this rom.

But every time I try then my phone stuck in Galaxy Logo.

I Wipe all. Install rom, kernel ( ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.x_20160517_codina.p.l), and gaaps.

No cm logo coming.

If I try only install rom then cm logo appear. But gimme unfortunately phone process is stopped.

No idea why.

Any help with this?

Thanks I make backup in Cwm.

I may back to AOSP

Updating your f2fs-kernel over my f2fs-installation fails with argument "(bad)".

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Not possible... but increase speed.. also stability.. this is like the new CPU OC algorithm.. no 01 for half freq.. and same divisor for all freq.. to improve latency.. i don't know how did u test the difference.. but basicly inpossible :)

Depends on Gov. settings.. i use up threshold= 128 and for down = 16 and latency = 0

But check also in the slots / interfaces if it was changed correctly.. because of permission / NT-APP .. u know :)

1. yes.

2. yes.

3. yes

4. depends on your usage.. and how old is your battery. :highfive:

5. yes

Yeah.. it is fixed.. it works now like Samsung Stock Kernel... (if charging control is disabled in NT-APP)

Yes... u need to check current draw at 10% Battery.. .. with disabled current control the current draw from charger should: 600mA .. but u need to mesure this on the secondary side ---> 5V .. not the drawn from the 230V.. this is different !

Also i can confirm that a older Battery don't draw the full current... I've here 2 Ace 2 with same kernel / konfiguration and same Battery level.. both batterys are even same old.. BUT they have different current draws !! One of them have in all cases and on all the time ~ 70 - 80mA less on charging... that means it depend on the actually battery Health :cowboy:

And don't forget: after charging with over 600mA .. next time u need to set back the current.. and back again to the previous current Value.. otherwise it'll charge @ 500mA if the charging control is enabled... this is maybe an bug.. but i can't finf it on source.. i'll ask cocafe .. he is the maker of abb-charger control !!

But anyway... u don't believe how many hours i've already spended for this deammny Charger... I've also compared it with TC Stock + Samsung org.. and it is in my opinion even on Stock Samsung buggy ! USB and AC is correctly on Samsung Stock.. but the USB-Charging is limited [MENTION=1601421]600[/MENTION]mA .. i've tried to set this limit @ 900mA .. but no luck.. i really don't know guys...

But now, AC and USB online / offline works perfectly... but as i already said: if the current control is disabled... maybe i can fix this... that the current stay on setted Value even after reboot... it is really annoying to set every time the current in NT-APP...

This is hopefully fixable... but the thing with USB-Charger.. that limit will stay @ 600mA.. it's just Samsung Bug... (tested with my 1A USB-Charger)

Wipe Cache recommended :) And be carefull.. on ART don't wipe dalvik cache ! only wipe cache !!

I tested on Antutu and Quadrant.

During my test CPU governor was Performance, so that means APE_OPP and DDR_OPP were 100%.

I'm not noob, I set permissions 444 to /sys/kernel/mali/* during tests :)

UPD. I did new test: 400/710 MHz(new GPU plls) and GPU results now almost same as on previous algorithm. I'm not complaining, but IMO GPU freq higher than 710 MHz (or smth around this), only decreases performance even if it runs stable.
