Running edited three line gps.conf. I'm going out for a walk to test it better. And forget what i said about GLONASS. From my window it can see one Russian satellite. After i'm done i'll test the bloated gps.conf.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Ok. I've tested both gps confs. Basically, the three line gps.conf gives a faster fix (34 sec if cold and 4 sec if hot), perhaps due to the local Italian ntp server i entered in the conf. But the GPS works even with the original gps.conf. I basically walked and then ran with it and the satellites stayed locked and it gave the correct speed (walking: 5 km/h, running: 11 km/h, running faster: 15 km/h). Google Maps worked correctly too. Didn't try turn to turn navigation though but the satellites get locked (both GPS and GLONASS) like they did with the 150714 ROM.

I found that if you change properties to gpsd in /system/bin gps stops working. It neither sees satellite nor locks them. If you set the properties correctly everything works again like before.

Maybe test latest pico gapps from opengapps. GPS to apps like Google Maps is managed by Google Play Services.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] saimyounas786:
Hows it working guys compare to previous builds?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
It's faster, battery is more durable and there are no stagefright vulnerabilities.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] saimyounas786:
is this stable can i update to it now?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Yes, if you fully follow Ace2nutzer's instructions it's really stable. No need to repart too.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
But all Ace2Nutzer's job is trash...

Why need to see it for yourself? :D:D:D

Just joking!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]: i found another Java issue. Basically, with 150714 and all kernels (including the latest 020916 with NT APP 1.7.1) Spirit FM Unlocked radio worked as a charm. Now, with the new ROM 160217, it displays an error message instead of working, and Bluetooth turns on. Here are the logs attached. Superuser is enabled.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Java issues also with TrackID
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] saimyounas786:
i love trash talk:D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Another issue: if you want to access CWM Recovery you can't do so from the power menu anymore. It just hangs up. You have to turn off phone and press the usual three buttons together.

Many Thanks for all the intensive Reports !

So GPS is OK. - Will need definitely to switch to another Java Version...

Actually we've OpenJDK 1.7 . will switch to Oracle Java 1.7 and see if it helps :)

btw: Spirit Free is working properly for me ...

If u've rooted .. u need also to re-enable Root in Developer-Settings.

(simply disable root .. and then enable it again)

EDIT:

Yes i know ... it's just outdated boot-script in ramdisk (kernel)

PS: It's just a test build .. there is even no kernel at all included... no root ... no Nova-Launcher ..

It's just as it is ... fresh compiled from build-server -- and uploaded to our FTP Server .... but for testing it's actually OKAY. For Final Build i'll make it more accurate lol ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] saimyounas786:
Thanks [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION]

For Doing It In Your Precious Time Testing This For Entire Community A True Thanks Worthy

Time To Do My Job

WTF? Wheres That Thanks Button?

Its Here Now Applying;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Done. Nothing changes. It still doesn't work.

Still pretty good ROM for now.

By the way i saw you uploaded another ROM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Strange ... did u try to wipe data of that app and then re-configuring this App ???

Yes ... actually i building + uploading + testing every day approx 2 Rom's..

The Build from Today is up now !

Changes:

added Code Optimizations from ace2nutzer kernel ....

Whole ROM is compiled with -marm -O3 ..

So maybe AV + Camera won't work .. or some Apps will FC ... i'm testing right now ... booting with new ROM ....
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Tried wiping data of the app and running it again. Nothing works.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
hmm strange .. can u make screenshot of the problems with the app ??

Anyway i've tested roughly new build .. and strangely everything seems to work fine ...

This is really strange because according to other developers .. after compiling the whole ROM with ARM + -O3 Audio Video Camera and Stock Browser shouldn't work at all ... but ....

At least one time i've good luck :D

Well then i represent to u new Build from Today ... 18/02 ....

Time to switch into the next gear !!! lol ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
What should i post, precisely? The error message is just "Unfortunately, Spirit UL has stopped". I think that the only interesting parts of the system information are the Crash section and the Stack Trace.

Or, more simply, you're skilled.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Hmm show me an screenshot of the app symbol .. i guest it's not same app like i have ??

I'm using Spirit free .. and i never had problems with that app .. works on all Custom roms here.

btw: the new build needs 581MB on /system after installed pico-gapps from FTP .... (according to term. emulator)

btw2: i made a test: if i disable root in developers settings, then i've error for spirit free: Error: No FM accessible

AND during trying to power off the app .. i can see shortly appearing BT-Icon on status bar ....

So i still think your app has still no proper root rights ....

Check something else ...

Just as info: Settings ---> Superuser settings

thi doesn't work at all with su binary from cwm ...

But root is OKAY anyway ... just enable in developers settings (apps + adb)

Other than that, i don't have other ideas ... or u may need to wait for the build compiled with other Java Version ...

Unfortunately Build from Today is still same Java Vesion ... But please test anyway if some issues are anyway away lol :)

Enjoy this Build.

EDIT:

try also to wipe all caches: wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and settings ---> storage ---> "cache" <---tap on it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
I installed Spirit light too and the error is the same. I guess it's superuser, and strangely enough, policies are "empty". No policies. But File Explorer works in root mode and Clocksync too... I don't know if superuser rights are working correctly or not on my device but i repeatedly turn superuser off and on in developer settings to no avail.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] saimyounas786:
can you explain me what is arm+o3 thumb?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Could you share your gps.conf file?

That makes me wonder what happened here lol.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Weird ... try to use su binary from working CM11 build for u ..

u can find it: /system/xbin/su

Make sure to set after the replacement the proper permissions like before.

After that ...... Settings ---> super user... will work again.

U'll probably again need to re-enable root over developers settings.

btw: Have u tried new build ? - It works pretty fast :o

Later i'll add -mfloat-abi=hard support .. then it should work even more faster ... but then that's it !

Google it.. i.e -O3 is an optimizations level ... (fast)

By default Google uses -Os ----> optimized for size, so not for max performance. (slow)

Also it uses THUMB ----> an compressed instructions set of the ARM instructions. (slow)

ARM = no compression ... (fast)

SUPL_PORT=7276

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

NTP_SERVER=pool.ntp.org //(replace as u like)

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]

Yes i've just dirty updated to 160218 (only formatted cache and dalvik cache).

Replacing SU binary didn't help. Though now i'm asked to grant permissions.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
This reminds me, I was testing it on Chrono's kernel from the first build.

Would it be simpler if I go back to Ace2nutzer's kernel?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Nope .. u can't update test builds that easy ...

Don't forget updater-script is half-working .. so u'll need to do some stuff manually..

Correct is so:

wipe cache + dalvik-cache

format /system

mount system + cache

install new test-build

reboot to system

say yes for root

let it boot up .. then

shutdown...

boot to recovery

install pico-open-gapps

reboot system.

Only this way is clean enough, if u don't want to wipe data every time. :)

Dunno, we'Re testing here all the time with ace2nutzer-kernel .. i only told to u to test with chrono-kernel because of enabled debugging .. but apparently (dunno how it can work at all) even with my kernel u Guys are able to provide some logs ... i guess this is still enough .... we found out now that there are many Java Errors ...

So i know what to do :)

On Ace2nutzer kernel boot-script is actually not updated ... but this should be the smallest problem ...

Boot to recovery still works over 3 buttons way ... let us first optimize this ROM like hell and resolve all the Java Problems .. then i'll make new kernel and ne CM11 ...

But first some hard work needed ;)

EDIT:

I need an precise Report form both of u Guys ... shqman + dr360...

for 18/02 compared to 17/02

I need to know if new build has more or less issues .. or maybe even same .. but lets say just faster + smoother ...

then i know in how to proceed :)

EDIT2:

I don't need it right now ... u've time for this ... tomorrow is fine as well.... :)

So no stress :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
I switched from 150714 to 160217 by following the full instruction (including formatting internal storage to vfat and formatting system and data). Then i updated from 160217 to 160218 after only formatting cache and dalvik cache. No issues except spirit. However i'll reinstall 160218 after formatting system with pico gapps reinstall included.

However 160218 seems faster than 160217. As you said, camera, audio, video, all working.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yes is better ....

but was spirit working with 17/02 ?? i guess no...

Who knows... maybe related to java version.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
With 17/02 clean install Spirit and TrackID showed java errors. I'm clean installing 18/02 to test.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I could confirm it's also faster, but have the same issues as before. No issues related to multimedia stuff found so far.

Even after changing gps.conf, my GPS is somehow not locking, even on latest build.

Spirit fm is working for me on 18/02.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
also with ace2nutzer-kernel ???
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
[MENTION=5701712]shaqman89[/MENTION] try tightening the screws. Maybe it's not enough signal.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
use logcat for errors, helps a lot.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
The developer disabled logging in kernel, so it's useless.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] saimyounas786:
How ace2nutzer knows where is the fault?

i mean every developer watches logcat to know where the problem is
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] everything working nicely on 160218 clean install (without formatting data) rom+160209 kernel+160207 pico gapps... no issues to report so far other than Spirit and TrackID Java errors. Even had it turned on overnight as alarm and the alarm waked me up as expected and no battery level drainage even without disabling systemupdate processes as i always did before to fix battery drainage. Google Maps can be scrolled much faster, almost feels like on the tablet.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] saimyounas786:
Does Performance Improved?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
Testing new build,its fast n smooth ,the only reason why i back to old build is bcause its use odex ,thats a nightmare for me ,so i hope its available the deodex version for final build
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
[MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION]

Did you had an issue of gapps FC after the clean install on latest build?

When I was changing kernels and did a reinstall, somehow with the latest build + latest gapps or latest build + ace2nutzer gapps, it gives me FC and I can't login to play store.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

For theming needs?

CMIIW, but isn't odex version is supposed to be faster?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
[MENTION=6315696]saimyounas786[/MENTION] About 2 times faster and smoother. Try it, provided your Ace 2 hasn't NFC.

[MENTION=5701712]shaqman89[/MENTION] no issues at all with Google Play.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Many Thx !! That sounds already pretty nice !

Well, i'll change Java Version on Build-Server .. then i'll re-compile the ROM ...

i'm afraid :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
[MENTION=5701712]shaqman89[/MENTION] yeah i know that odex more faster on opening app,but we lose theming ability . yeah gapps fc if u dont let system boot first,and when i try switch to art its bootloop lol
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Yes, I'm aware of this, and actually did let system boot first before entering recovery to flash gapps. I actually start over clean since I can't figure out what wrong lol.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
ohh is ART broken on latest build ??

Can someone test if it can boot on an clean installation .. without user apps and without gapps ??

Please both builds ... 17 and 18/02

Thanks !

EDIT:

please test exFAT as well ... ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Tidez:
I use 18.02.2016 and I have problems with watching video in stock browser, Firefox and uc browser. I can only correctly watch videos in chromium based browsers(chrome, chromium, cyanogen browser).

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] how about deodex thing sir? I can live without art but not for deodex lol. But its just my personal request

Edit:oh sory i test it on 17 build& gapps instaled sir
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yup .. this is known issue actually. just test always latests builds .. till it'll work properly.

it would be nice if u can test.

As for deodex: i can make this at the end .. when i've time.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
btw i've started compilation with Oracle Java 1.7.0_80 ..

i'll take 2 - 3 Hours for compiling .. then + approx 10 - 20 Minutes for Uploading .. then u can test Build 19/02 for Java Errors [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] [MENTION=5701712]shaqman89[/MENTION] :)

EDIT:

New Build is Up !!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
No hope. Java errors with Spirit FM are still there and in addition WiFi stopped working (it doesn't turn on; it stays off). Reverting to 160218. Clean install, no formatting data.

Now, with 160218, WiFi resumed working. I'll install 160219 another time to be sure.

I clean installed 160219 again and WiFi now turns on. What i didn't do the first time is flashing the kernel again after ROM was flashed.

TrackID is working with ROM 160219 up. No more Java issues with TrackID now.

What Java did you use for 150714?

Anyway these are the logs. Still this java.lang.unsatisfiedlinkerror
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Maybe i forgot to mention that u need actually on test builds to flash after the rom the kernel as well, because there is no kernel included ;)

The old CM11 from me was never compiled from me... I just changed some files from other newer roms in oder to fix some issues.

Anyway never do this again.. As it breaks other things. That's why there are different problems.

Well, so i don't know what Java it has.

But probably oracle 1.5 or 1.6.

So actually only Spirit is not working ?

Did u try out to wipe data of that app ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Yes, nearly anything. Replacing su binary, wiping data, disabling and re enabling superuser access, installing & reinstalling app... nothing does. Not even Spirit Light works. So strange that it works for you & Shaq the Man.

Practically, if you start the app and get to the menu, if you click stop the app stays there. The error and the crash comes if you push the button to turn on radio on the lower right side. As soon as you push it bluetooth turns on.

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]

Sorry, I can't test latest build yet. Had some issues with the phone after I did a really clean install starting back from JB. And I kinda messed up with Odin since the USB port turns out to be a bit faulty (move the data cable just by a bit and it disconnects).

Could you clarify me the steps if I were to install from JB, would this be correct?

1. Flash kernel with cwm using Odin (used ck 4.3 f2fs Odin version)

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Flash ace2nutzer kernel

4. Reboot into recovery

5. Format system, Cache, data, dalvik, sdcard0

5. Flash test build

6. Flash ace2nutzer kernel

7. Reboot into system

Is that correct? Strangely I got stuck in bootloop if I follow that steps. Additionally, I won't be able to go into recovery again, and have to Odin a kernel with working with cwm

@up

I think I need to mention that I only tried spirit light version.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Okay thank u for the investigations.

Looks like that i will need to recompile with Oracle 1.6 .. Then Everyhing should work.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Be sure that you have a JB baseband on the phone (best XXNA1) before doing anything with a CM11 ROM and CWM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
From jb u need temp cwm from my dev-host.

Then wipe everything except modemfs.

Then mount system & cache. And flash the rom.. Then kernel, nt-app.

Reboot System... Boot to android..

Then shutdown....

Again cwm ... And install pico gapps if u want this.

Ps: be carefully with defective usb cable..

Don't flash 3-parted roms... Because they have always also an bootloader..,

Once it's writing bootloader and it disconnect, it'll softbrick your phone..

Then only an riff-box helps
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Softbrick? Isn't it hardbrick when you need the riffbox?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Noo, hardbrick is when even an riff-box can't help... So basically broken hardware.

Soft --> software . ... Bootloader is an software
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Guys, one important thing i forgot to mention: there's absolutely no longer need to enable zRAM. The new ROMs fly by themselves.

By the way [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] [MENTION=5701712]shaqman89[/MENTION] (try it), on 160219 Twitter, for some reason, no longer shows pictures. And Google Maps crashes, with no error message, as soon as i input a street name in the search box and i click on it. Definitely worth giving a try with Oracle 1.6 or whatever else 150714 was coded with.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
Im just notice that latest kernel + latest nt app in rom build<170216 after reboot swap storage is disabled need to reenable it and reboot to make it work(of course i wipe data nt-app before flash latest nt app and format sdcard0 as vfat),just fyi since old build not suported lol
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
hey [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] I am just wondering if in future you will be making kernel for marshmallow :) and maybe ROM what do u think? any throughts? still there is no bugless KitKat ROM but maybe after that will go in marshmallow? sure I'm looking too far in future :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lotrzyk0:
Hello. Is it possible to install properly Xposed on this ROM? Because I have a problem... After install in main menu "framework" there is "xposed isnt compatibile yet on sdk 19...." Is there a way to solve this? I installed already latest version of this app and it is wrong
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] bebolint98:
I'm using this: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk , whitout any problem.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lotrzyk0:
Still... Cant install framework...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
are you sure you install in right SDK version? also are you using Xposed installer 3.0 alpha4 ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lotrzyk0:
I downloaded installer 3.0 alpha 4 right now and it says I need to flash via twrp framework file. What now?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yup .. this was my scope to finally ban zRam ... but i'll keep it available in kernel for some rare cases .. if someone need it anyway :)

Did also try with wipe data ??? U really need this from 17 or 18 to 19 ! Because of changed Java from openJDK 1.7 to Oracle Java 1.7.

btw : so latest build has even more bugs ? lol. (Spirit FM still not work ? )

Yup .. is normal .. default setting is now again "disabled by default" ... :)

lol why u want to force it to make it working ? It'S really not worth it :) Just test every build till it'll work ...

Actually all Builds (17, 18, 19) has wrong Java Version .. that's why there are many Java Errors in logs.

INFO: Today no new Build ...because the Server was down ... (electric main power was down)

But now the electric is back again ....

So i'm compiling with Oracle Java 1.6 now.

IT should work finally .. at least i really hope so :fingers-crossed:

If it'll work, then i can build final Build with fresh CM Sources incl. latest Kernel, NT-APP and and and lol

Or maybe not ? Maybe with still one small bug: not working twitch.tv .. .. (but we'll see :) )
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] psidco:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] and sometime apollo cant scan my music,i think its coz storage isue,never mind ,the battery,smoothnes and audio is totally awesome ,i can wait final build with lil bug above
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lotrzyk0:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] I wanted to install xposed cause of try how it works. But nvm, if you are writing it is no worth.

Here is my question: if in main we swipe left - there is sometning like "cm home" addons window. What is it and what kind of addons works here?

Second: on latest build I have so many FC's. Even in "Internet", some random games, Inbox etc.

Brightness adjustment isnt working properly, sometimes on "low" in real is "high" and so on.

Any way, I am following you since 1 year and I have to say good job.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Today i can also wipe data and reinstall anything from scratch.

By the way great job with the new sources ace2nutzer. Yesterday i was out and about for the whole afternoon/evening, repeatedly waking up the phone from deep sleep and connecting to mobile data. Battery went from 90% to 74% from when i went out to when i came back home. In the past, with 150714 ROM, it would go from 100% to 40%, even disabling systemupdate processes.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
so flash your framework zip through cwm. Choose the one for KitKat SDK 19 I believe. And choose arm architecture.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
I reinstalled 160219 ROM by following instructions on page 337, that is, by wiping data and factory reset. Now Twitter shows pictures, Google Maps still crashes when searching for a street and tapping on it and Spirit still crashes the same way showing Java error.

TrackID Java-crashes too when i tap the purple button to identify songs but unlike with 160218 it starts up without crashing.

With the ROMs based on the new sources however the phone no longer crashes if the language is set to Italian and the battery level reaches 14%.
