Okay, I don't said the concrete results. But it was almost 1.5-2x slower than previous ones.

By the way, it seems that 720 MHz also can work stably, and there is some profit from overclocking DDR and other related clocks:

Antutu 4.1.6, CPU: 1200 MHz performance, GPU 690-720 MHz, DDR: 975 MHz

(higher fps was 21.6)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
NOPE !! :D

Higher frequencies only decreases speed if this clock is NOT 100% STABLE !

To make shure that is STABLE u need to run Stability Test CPU GPU Test for MINIMUM 2 Hours :cowboy: :) :highfive:

Now pls don't say: i've run the Antutu Bench 3 times and it runs stable.. this is NOT Enough ! :) ;)

@ Score

Nice !!! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I only say: read first post for proper installation and use only Software version from my ftp file "latest" for maximum performance + battery lifetime.

Speaking in general, using any rom or kernel that is not latest Version, u'll most probably running your phone with bugged Software. (See changelog).

Have fun and enjoy it.

Don't forget, u're downloading better Software than stock Samsung for FREE !

Anything new about the Amazon pics problem?

[MENTION=7332124]beardedpanda[/MENTION]: i've just installed ROM 20160526 through your ROM+Kernel bundle. It works.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

so far every idea + possible fix did not work. Even tried to compile the whole Chromium repo (approx 10 blobs) for branch 4.4.2 ... and unfortunately some of them was even not possible to sync them out .... there is some problems with the Google Servers.

Also tried to build only "Chromium_org" from Google instead from CM ... and even this was not successful due of Java Errors .... lol

Honestly i've already spent just too much time for fixing that very small bug, and now i'm just out of ideas and i'm tired to make even more experiments... since we can just use another Browser ....

B.t.w. if somebody know an great browser not chromium based .... and doesn't need to much RAM .. and there is a possibility to block every easy (without extra tricks) the Ads, (like Adblockplus), then pls post it, then i'll it replace the Stock CM Browser :)

How to upgrade without fresh install?

Only wipe cache needed?

now i'm on 20160510 ROM build

and i want to upgrade to 20160526 build

thank you.

Is doesnt work wifi 20160526 build

Hi is Is doesnt work wifi 20160526 build Help me
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:
WIFI works on that build. Try reflashing the kernel. If that doesn't work reflash the ROM. Follow installation steps from first post excatly.

[MENTION=6061986]seanmalto[/MENTION]

Just wipe cache and dalvik cache, format /system. It should be enough.

For more detail installation steps look at the first post on the first page of this thread.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
Thanks.

This build only contain one bug, right?

Some pics are broken (amazon)?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:
Right.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] darktrixx:
does anybody willing to post md-5 check sum of cm11 5/26 build, and kernel 5/17, currently i dont have a laptop for a few more days to check the integrity using 7-zip, my network are unstable thats why have a chances of corrupted downloaded file, im afraid to flash corrupted file again. thanks and more power
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
Oh, i forgot one thing about deep sleep.

On my previous build 20160510, i have to denied wake up and keep awake on Privacy Guard>Google Play Service to turn my phone into deep sleep.

When both of them allowed, my phone wont turn into deep sleep.

my question, on the newest stable ROM (20160526), is this problem still present?

Or deep sleep works perfectly? without change any permission at privacy guard>google play service>...

Thanks.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Latest build doesn't have that issue with deep sleep. It's fixed since february or so.

I set your ROM and kernel.

How to remove the 2 sec delay in answering call?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I don't have that delay, make sure your phone is not overloaded with active apps.. and make sure u're not using the phone in powersave mode.

In my phone balanced mode. This problem on the stock firmware 4.1.2 and on all custom ROM 4.4.4

on 2.3.6 and 4.3.1 no such problem
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
okay .. this is possible since anything higher than 2.3.6 needs more RAM.

But which ROM do u mean with 4.3.1 ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Can I use the newest kernel with teamcanjica's cm11 20140807 ROM? I'm having problems setting max CPU frequency to anything else than 800MHz, although I used 1000MHz for over a year. somehow it doesn't work anymore. after every reboot its back to 800MHz.

Kernel is 3.0.101-ace2nutzer. governor is interactive.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
oh that sounds very painful to use such old ROM + kernel ... i suggest to update ;)

Of course u can install latest kernel on that old ROM .. works too ... but not really efficiently ... also there are a lot of security leaks ....

ah ok thx ! - Yeah i believe some things works better on CM10.2 ... maybe one day i'll update that ROM (maybe even more better than CM11) :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
I would like to update, but I don't want to wipe data, install and configure all apps + settings again to my liking, as well as disabling system apps, services, ...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

updating the ROM + kernel without wipe data is still better than using such old bugged ROM's ... ;)

Just follow installation method on first post here.

btw: format /system will not delete your preferences ... (only wipe data will delete your apps + preferences)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
I make a backup of everything in recovery and then give it a try :)

Plus some screenshots of my settings, novathor settings, disabled services, greenify, ...

Thank you for your work and help!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
No problem :)

btw i can suggest to install latest gapps + nt- app as well .... also i suggest to try first with default nt-app settings ... for this simply after the installation just wipe data of nt-app and reboot the phone ... so far the default settings for nt-app are already the best choice ... probably it'S better to start to make settings based on the new defaults one ... instead to just reuse old/invalid settings ... because nt-app is adapted to the kernel ... that's why it doesn't make much sense to use old settings on latest kernel.

(because many things changed in kernel + nt-app)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] raz82:
on the first day after flashing battery low. this is normal?

most of the day was in standby mode.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
reboot the phone and do fully charge the battery till the LED's are ON. - Then keep it charging for another 20 Minutes ... and use the Phone like usual. If it's again bad, then u've to buy new battery if it's already older than 2 - 3 Years.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Can I install GAPPS without wiping data? AFAIK this GAPPS pack doesnt contain the same apps as the one I installed.

Out of curiosity:

What is this step for " Mount /system (shows unmount /system)"?

Edit: I installed rom, kernel, novathor and gapps. Seems fine so far.

One problem still exists: performance profile always goes back to balanced with max CPU of 800MHz after reboot. I tried balanced profile with 1000,1100,1200 and 'performance' profile. It always runs smooth, but after the reboot its back to balanced with 800MHz.

Compared to the previous rom/kernel, 16bit transparency is turned on now.

Suddenly movie/video editor and an old calendar app showed up. Deleted both as well as android keyboard and trebuchet. No problems.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yes u can ... but keep in mind: wipe data is of course always better.

after formatting /system partition, that partition isn't mounted ... but it should be mounted otherwise u can't install new ROM on /system.

Not an problem ... this is normal, if u want OC permanently, then OC CPU over Settings --> performance ... and use "set on boot" And for GPU OC, use NT- APP ... Just change GPU HIGH LOAD FREQ ...

Yes :) This is in order to improve the scrolling ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Haven't experienced any problems so far that have not existed before.

I always did exactly this on this ROM and on the previous one. It used to work until a few days ago, when i changed max cpu from 1000 to 1100MHz. On your newest ROM and kernel it still doesn't apply it after reboot. Sounds like some app is restricting this. I recently installed betterbatterystats, amplify, xposed and autostarts. Could this be the reason?

Btw. great to have more free storage and RAM now. the updated file manager also looks nicer. And livestream finally works!!! :good:

In a previous post you asked about a useful adblocking tool. Have you heard of adaway? It's a small app that only needs to run once to change the host file (root required). Then it can be greenified. Works great.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Right now tested ... i set max CPU 1000, check "set on boot" and max GPU 500 in NT-APP ... and reboot the phone ... and after the reboot i still had CPU 1000 and GPU 500 :)

I think u do it wrong .... Once u decide to use custom Freqs or OC also after an reboot, then u should NOT touch CM Performance Profile ... leave it by default @ "balanced" ... also u should UNCHECK "Enable App-Profile" .. otherwise it'll not work properly.

btw: i suggest in generally to disable "enable app-profile" ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Now that u mention it: I had balanced profile and cpu max at 1000MHz for a year, and 'enable app profile turned on' (default). Only tried 1100MHz in balanced profile once ...out of curiosity. And that one never stayed. After this, I experimented with different frequencies and profiles, but it always went back to balanced + 800MHz after each reboot. Doesnt even accept 1000MHz anymore. For the past few days I kept 'enable app profile' off.

So no solution how to keep CPU overclocked?! 1000MHz ++ is much smoother.

I never did any GPU OC.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Again, read carefully what i wrote before and do the same. If it still doesn't work as it should, then search which app u installed that overrides the CPU freq on boot. Also u can check for obsolete init.d scripts on /system/etc/init.d/*

which may be override cpu freq on boot too.

If u can't Fix it, u'll probably end up with wiping data ... no way ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Im keeping it in balanced profile and only change the max CPU. It doesnt stay. Just gave GPU a try (500). It stayed even after reboot.

in system/etc/init.d I have:

01_zram

99_user

I will delete recent apps. No wipe data! :P

Could it also be because of a disabled service?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Don't forget to disable "enable apps-profile"

Try first to restore disabled receivers from settings.apk ... If u even had disabled Receivers of Settings.apk .. then this is in 99,99% the reason for that ....

btw: be carefully with disabling Receivers for system Apps, u can harm the whole system if u don't know what u do .... same thing for deleting apparently "useless" system apps !!!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Always off :)

Never touched that. I only used it in the past to fix systemupdateservice bug in google play services. that service is now enabled (stays enabled after reboot), but the receivers are still disabled. no bug though.

Deleted all recently installed apps. Still the same. I think i ignore it and leave it at 800MHz.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
okay ... strange thing anyway ... something is screwed up with your phone :)

Here it works perfectly :)

But may be u don't wait enough till u go to check CPU max freq ???

Try for the last time and then let it boot up .. and let the phone alone for around 5 minutes ... then check CPU freq.

AFAIK it changes CPU max freq after some seconds, after it's booted ... it's not changed immediately during boot...

So may be u was checking too fast ... because natively original Freq is just 800Mhz ... it'll override that value with new one after it's fully booted up !

One more thing, i'm remembering me that on some very old CM11 builds from Rox, the CPU Max Freq was by default 1000Mhz :)

So maybe u was using such an old build .... (see his changelogs maybe u find smthg interesting).

Also older kernels from me don't have CM Performance profiles ... (even if u see the menu ... but it just changes nothing ;) ) so it can't override CPU Freq at all ... So are u really sure u're using latest kernel with latest NT_APP ?? (latest versions are on FTP server .. not Dev-host ... just to mention)

One more Information:

CM Performace profiles has nothing to do with the CPU Freq Settings from "Settings --> Performance --> CPU"

That means u can't edit hard coded CPU Freqs from Profile "balanced" ... but u can it only "override it on the fly" ..... that's why u shouldn't switch Profiles .... because this will again override your Custom Freqs from Sett. --> perf. --- > cpu ...

I hope now u understand how it works and how it's configured ....
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Sometimes I checked the CPU frequency after the phone had been running for some time. I will keep an eye on that in the future, though.

I'm very sure that Rox's ROM together with your kernel had 800MHz standard and i changed it to 1000MHz. And then stupid me tried another frequency a few days ago which didnt stay. After that I installed all files from ur ftp server. In 'about phone' it's showing your 26.5.2016 ROM and 17.05.2016 Kernel 3.0.101.

Im not touching the balanced profile anymore. I only did that because I saw that performance in performance profiles gave me higher max CPU, but it went back to balanced profile after reboot. So i always keep it on balanced profile now and only set the max CPU frequency in settings, performance, system header/processor.

Thanks for your long message and support.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Okay no problem :) - If u're curious to know what is preventing this, u can even post last_kmsg. (maybe i can see on which point something else is changing freq ... )

Otherwise i can suggest to use CM Performance profiles ... for this just add to Quick Settings that CM perf. profile button ... then u can very easy switch to the 3 profiles with just one tap ;)

IMHO this is the best way to Regulate the CPU freq.

In almost all cases "balanced" is more than enough ... Most of users switch to "powersave" when the Battery level is very low ....

And if u sometimes want to play an 3D Game that it's too slow or it laggs, just use "performance" .... and when u're done, switch back again to "balanced" .. With this comfortable feature u can save a lot of Battery power. Because anything higher than CPU Freq 800Mhz is very non-efficient. Same for higher GPU Freq than 400Mhz.

The whole CM Performance Profile Config u can find here:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Oh, I didnt know I could add that in quick settings. That's really helpful and the best solutions. Thanks a lot!

I have never touched settings receivers, yet somehow a few are disabled:

Yes, later...

[MENTION=6710464]lace_hvc[/MENTION] I'll check the log later. My Settings Receivers are ALL enabled ! Try to enable them all and reboot the phone, then try again your cpu settings.

2tap2wake only works during charging. right?

Too bad there is no way to disable BLN upon full charge.

Other than that, great ROM and kernel!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
2tap2wake works also during play music.

Or with wakelock it'll work always.

Full charged bln u can disable by simply unplug the cable, or just Toggle screen ON/OFF .. Then it's off.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
I figured that out. But when the phone is charging and I leave it like this for hours, wont this have any effect on battery life and/or the light itself?

Is it too much work to add an option to disable bln on full charge? just asking.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Nope, it doesn't drain battery at all ... as long it's connected to any power sources :)

And nope, it makes no problems for the LED itself, u can leave it ON for years non-stop ... nothing will happen, but it's not very cool for the battery to keep it that long time fully charged. That's why it should annoy ... so that the user don't forget to unplug the cable .... it's all in one in order to reduce a bit the battery stress and of course it's an comfortable feature so that we don't need to turn the display on in order to see if it's fully charged or not :)

For me yes, i'm not that familiar with programming. But probably i'm able to do that, but since it's not very urgent/useful, and my time is very limited, i'll not do that.

I'm not a teenager that i've a hell of time ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Is that permanent BLN on full charge from the cyanogenmod developers?

I always use a tone to inform me when it was fully charged.

And I thought once its at 100% it stops charging anyway. Thats why the battery status drops so fast in the first 10-20min after unplugging. maybe that was wrong.

I found something weird but not important. just pointing out:

When i disable BLN in NovaThor, it greys out the 2 options below. when i leave the app and open it again, the option below is now clickable (disable blinking and time of blinking I think.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Nope :) It was my idea, and chrono helped me to code it ;)

Nope :D When it shows 100% it'll still charge .. so let say for additionally +30 - 60 minutes ... and then it'll keep it charged. It'll stop charging for some minutes if u let it charge for more than 2 hours at 100%.

If u want more charged battery, then let it charge for around 30 minutes after it shows 100% ...

U'll see it'll not descend that fast from 100% to 95% approx. ;)

Yes that's right, just cosmetics, not worth it to fix, as long it works anyway properly. ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Can't you optimize the voltage tables further so that 100% is, say, actually true 95-97% (so that we don't risk stressing the battery to much) and it won't go any farther than that but without requiring to leave the charger plugged for additional 30 mins?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
17/05 kernel:

26/05 ROM:

sorry i didn't understood u. - btw: on all kernels there is no overcharging ... the Recommended Battery Voltage of 4,35V is never higher than this. But it's possible to increase or decrease it on sources ...

What we can adjust is only the charging current ... actually it shows 100% when the battery still sucks 150mA power ... this is 10% of Battery Capacity ---> 1500mA .. this is the recommended Value for showing 100%... But if u let it still on the cable it'll continue to charge till 0mA :D but it takes a hell of time ... that's why by 150mA we consider it fully charged .. because from that point it's only charge very very slow ... absolutely not convenient ;)
