ace2nutzer, please return analog gain (NovaThor Settings -> audio)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] hemal12341:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] thank you for developing a stable ROM & KERNEL!!!we hope that in future we will get more stable smoothly ROM + KERNEL(Also fully fixed recovery problem)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
No, sorry, there is no reason for this. Using analog gain more than +0.0dB only leads to distortions.

analog + digital gain is already at loudest +0.0dB by default.

This is the best performance u can archive.

If u've very poor Sounds that isn't loud enough, just increase the L+R digital Gain in NT-APP ... this gives less distortions.

No Problem, enjoy it. - It's already stable and smooth. And what Recovery problem are u talking about ?? - Do u mean sometimes the black screen issue on Recovery ?? - If so, it'll be better on next Kernel Release, i've accidentally reverted one Fix. (thought it's not needed anymore with performance Governor, but it's still needed)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] TzuYu014:
Mega App is Crashing :(
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Try to wipe data of that app, ( or just delete app and reboot, and install the app again)

if this will not help, do this:

Post Logcat, so i only need the log starting when u open the app, and the crash ... then u can cut the log.

then try if it works with: 20160910 ROM and of course report if it works with this ROM.

Anyway, i'll need logcat of the Crash, otherwise i can't fix it.

Hello i have Stock 4.1.2 rom and when i go to android stock recovery and choose CWM it says E signature verification failed, what should i do? sorry if the question is stupid but im newbie,

Thanks,

Damian
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yeah, then do that ... go to settings form FileManager and change to "root" after that just allow root permission (pop up will appear) and u have access to the / (whole file system)

Would it be possible to include the patch mentioned here to be included in your kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/10/19/860 ?

It's related to Dirty Cow vulnerability mentioned here: http://www.xda-developers.com/9-yea...-dirty-cow-can-root-every-version-of-android/

The commit: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/k.../?id=19be0eaffa3ac7d8eb6784ad9bdbc7d67ed8e619
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Confirmed, this vulnerability is present in CK, however, the exploit provided in the article wasn't working for me. My bad, both exploits are working.

Below is the working one: https://github.com/dirtycow/dirtycow.github.io/blob/master/dirtyc0w.c

Gonna to patch kernel soon.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] peppercaster:
really liking this work

Is this project available on github? I would like to collaborate because I am using the ace2 as my main phone.

Or is there any other bug tracker available?

Some observations:

- I managed to do the registration through another phone (could connect to the network with the ace2 with a new sim chip)

- Mostly working great, I am especially impressed by the battery efficiency

- I have space issue in the /data partition, just 1GB.

- One of my apps loses the login information sometimes (Tinder needed >4 logins so far), maybe related to internal memory (I ran out of space a few times)

- The default android AOSP app is really complicated to get working with swype and non-english languages (other languages need to be flashed apparently)

Is it still possible to adjust the partitioning (I would like to have less sd-card0 space (the internal sd) and more /data space (which is at default 1GB) ? 1.5GB on /data would be perfect

I tried to get around the limitation by using filemount (app from playstore) but apparently I cannot/shouldn't mount folders within the /data partition ? Is it save to copy the whole /data/Apps folder to the external sd-card and then mount that copied folder to /data/Apps ? Will the phone still produce "you ran out of space" warnings ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
My bad. I admit didn't try it as much yet. I did noticed that there were at least 4 POC currently working on different combination. Tried it on my RHEL box, but hadn't tried it on our phones yet.

Thanks, hope fully the patch is a straightforward one.

Yes, it's on Github.

You could see it in: https://github.com/ace2nutzer

Try repartitioning from here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/guide-cwm-reparted-t2895673

There are a few options in the thread. There are also some explanations and how to in the first page of this thread.

What do you mean by this?

If you mean swype doesn't work with this ROM, then try to flash another gapps. It's a known issue for some gapps.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Hmm, actually both exploits are working, it strangely didn't work one time but just rebooted device, but it worked another time.

Yeah, actually patch is straightforward and is already ported by some XDA develeopers: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/development/patched-kernel-cve-2016-5195-aka-t3487373 .
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] C-Krawall:
i tried to repartion my internal flash cause i cant update my apps and now iam stuck on samsung boot loader

can somebody please help?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Sure :) - Already patched ! - But i can upload new Release Tomorrow.

All ROM Patches and Optimizations are on GitHub available as open source except kernel source, but u can use TeamCanjica Source Code which is also on my GitHub, (this kernel is based on TeamCanjica Source)

In General if u've some cool ideas, want to implement new features or fixing bugs, u can do it by writing here in forum or just fork:

https://github.com/TeamCanjica/Samsung_STE_Kernel

make some changes u want, push commits to your fork, and post those commits here in the Thread, then i can check if it's useful to add such commits to the ace2nutzer kernel or not :)

didn't understand what u mean, sorry.

jup, this is my goal :)

use repartition method: v1.2 then u've 2GB on /data and 1GB for sdcard0.

use open gapps, then flash swype_fix.zip from FTP - misc folder.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] C-Krawall:
e: can´t mount

thanks ace2 for emergency kernel. now cwm shows a message " E:Can´t mount /cache/recovery command"

what happend? how can i fix this?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Not important error, just ignore, do what i've wrote to u in PM ... and at the end if u still see this error, just wipe cache then power off the phone, reboot to recovery again and the Error should go away in a magically way ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
Hey, can i use external reparted script? like CWM reparted?

Then where i put this reparted step in this "how to":

1. boot to Recovery

2. Wipe data

3. install in a row:

4. codina ROM

5. Recovery

-Kernel (if newer Version is available confronted to the kernel version from ROM-changelog)

-NovaThorSettings.APK (if newer Version is available, check Changelogs)

-GAPPS (if u want to use "Play Store")

6. Reboot system
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
What do you mean by external reparted? The one used by link2sd and the likes?

If it is, you could do it after the ROM is installed.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
I mean CWM reparted from CK

Not the script that we can download from here
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
If I remember correctly, that script is also based on Cwm reparted by Chrono.

You could use that script just fine like the ones from ace2nutzer. So the steps are the same as the one outlined in op. Just change the zip with the one you want from Cwm reparted
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yes, all reparted scripts from cwm reparted thread should work fine at least with the latest kernel version + NT-APP.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
Hey, i want to ask something.

im not sure if this strange or not, but after flashing latest ROM, kernel, etc i've got some problem.

my screen become like this (see attachment)

Afaik, when brightness is set into minimum the problem present.

But it's disappear when brightness is set into maximum.

The problem also present after my phone wake up from deep sleep. It become normal again when i swipe brightness to maximum.

I also attach the last_kmsg.

Hope my problem be solved

because this build is soooo smooth. I love this :D

thanks.

I also uploaded the normal screen (three.jpg)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] alexvas2004@gmail.com:
Same problem!

It depends on the temperature.

On a cold and minimum brightness - worse.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
So... what do u think?

Kernel/ROM problem?

I forgot, my LCD type is S6D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] alexvas2004@gmail.com:
With the core of Chrono Monochrome + Codina 20160802 this was not a problem.

The warm - everything is OK.

Request to all: check the refrigerator to minimum brightness.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
So which ROM & Kernel u use right now?

Still from ace2nutzer?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] alexvas2004@gmail.com:
Only ChronoMonochrome Kernel for Odin.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
It depends like always on the lcd quality.

I also have s6d and i'm using the phone always with lowest brightness and i never faced this issue that looks double.

The only issue i've is every 20 times i boot to recovery, i've one time blackscreen.

I can try to build rom with different lcd driver, maybe better. Any way some other config may fix the double pic issue, but there is no warranty that it'll that smooth like it's now.

Btw i'm using normal kernel, so u guys can try for now lcd.fix version for now but it isn't 100% smooth.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
Ok thanks for the answer.

I'll try lcd.fix ASAP :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] if i change the lcd frequency on the standard kernel is the same like the lcd.fix kernel ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Fabbb2:
Hello, it's been a long time since i havent posted anything. Thank you again for you work.

I updated the the rom and kernel in june and also the latest. Before that i was still with the old rom and a kernel from 2014/2015. I bought a new battery supposed to be a real samsung.

With the old rom+kernel, the battery could last 2 days and a half. With the last ones, it is about 1 day and a half. I have the following impression (no precise measurements): the battery drain is very low when the phone is not in use but the battery drains faster when using the screen. I could do between 3 and 4 hours of screen on, now it is about 2 hours. My screen type is WS2401.

What do you think of that ? Could it be due to the screen driver ? (what is actually the use of the fix.lcd ?) Or maybe my battery has lost some power (i bought it the 14th of march) ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
There is no such hard battery issue, i would suggest to check with betterbatterystats what is the cause.

Anyway using lcd-fix kernel only saves 10% of power, idle and full-load ... and only when the screen is ON.

With screen off, so suspend + deep sleep, there is no difference at all.

Just check the build date of the battery ---- printed on the battery itself.

Also it's hard to see if the battery is original or a cheap copy made in china.

Just google it about fake samsung batteries ..... there it's explained with pics how u can see a fake battery.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Why do I receive the following warning when downloading the latest ROM incl. kernel etc.:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
no problems for me, using avast free. Maybe try disabling avast, download and then enable and see what happens.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] seanmalto:
So, what is the worst effect when i use that fix?

There is no problem so far. I use latest ROM+kernel, and also use that fix. And my double screen problem has gone :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:

Hey, thanks for this update! Fixed fcrypt means that device encryption is now working? I'd really love to hear that <3
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@ up

That means fixed overflow. Honestly i've forget to check if it works now with full system encryption. Will check it with coming rom update in the next days.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
I hope everybody asking for a way to switch off end charge BLN will be definitely happy now. Of course, i turned it on (since i personally don't want to leave appliances inside the mains for more time than needed while i can't look after them).

Do we have any news for LCD ?fix kernel
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xuazak:
Hi !

Me again with my Waze problem...

Once again, tried to update with last ROM and kernel and all... And still Waze doesn't work.

Of course I've uninstalled it and installed it back again... No better result....

But this time I think I've been able to catch errors with logcat. Here it is :

--------- beginning of /dev/log/system
--------- beginning of /dev/log/main

And I've checked on the phone, the files refereed above are not on sdcard0 but on sdcard1... Would the problem come from there ?

So, I really hope someone could help me solve this as I really really love this Cyanogen version for my ace2, and I really need Waze !!!

Thank you so much for helping me !!!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xuazak:
OK ! Just solved it !

I've done again the reparted operation in post #3, updated again everything as in post #1, and IT WORKS !!!! So the reparted tweak must have gone wrong eventually...

Sorry to have bothered you... :(

Thank you however for your great work again !!!!!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
This is the main purpose of EOC BLN, it saves battery life a lot.

Nope, LCD.FIX Kernel is EOL (end-of-life) ... instead try to find better LCD config by yourself, or just wait for next build with maybe different lcd driver.

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] one bug found on latest rom . AOSP Browser Bookmarks-Sync is not working. I'm using mini gapps from mardon. It's not big deal but ..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
It's not ROM Bug, it's gapps issue.

Try to use this gapps:

https://github-cloud.s3.amazonaws.com/releases/35777460/ff44de4c-a3cd-11e6-9035-f0ebf2d63953.zip?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAISTNZFOVBIJMK3TQ%2F20161107%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20161107T143357Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=6def49e025f55a9e2cf9283864f6d0464387a31924f11dd9eb8152c1bd2b8f11&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=8060246&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3Dopen_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20161106.zip&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream

and then use swype fix from here:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xuazak:
The GAPPS URL on opengapps doesn't work. Here is a working link :

http://opengapps.org/?arch=arm&api=4.4&variant=pico
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
btw Guys, i just forgot to mention that u need to update recovery package too:

http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/recovery/

otherwise some things doesn't work properly i.e. EOC BLN Control for Recovery or LPM.

By default it's completely disabled now ... if u want to have EOC BLN for LPM, u only need to rename user_lpm.rc.bak in user_lpm.rc

same for user_recovery.rc.bak :)

If it doesn't work as expected, make sure that the user_lpm.rc and the other one has following permissions:

system:system 644

Also forgot to mention that eco light + burning LED .. works even with screen off and deep sleep !

While actually the CM Torch app holds the phone in wakelock with screen off .... but on next CM11 update it'll work also without wakelock ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xuazak:
But even with the last GAPPS from opengapps, bookmark sync doesn't seem to work... I have the "browser" option checked in settings > accounts > Google > my_accaout@gmail.com...

Hope it would work too... Still looking for a solution !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Try if it works with build: 20160510:

http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/CM11/codina/

if it's still not working it's gapps bug.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Its not a gapps problem. It worked fine with jun/jul ROM and it stopped working after that.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Try with 20160910 ROM ... if it works ... it's compiled with GCC 4.7 ..... while newer builds are built with GCC 4.8.

And better to test the oldest build from FTP as well ... then i'll be able to fix it up.

Or some useful logcat maybe also enough. ( a log during u try to sync .... )
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I told it and before the sync worked on jun/jul version.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yeah i understand this, but this is not precise Information. I can do nearly nothing with this info. If u want to help on debugging read again what i wrote, thanks.

What is also possible: u can say: build 4 is working, then the next release, so build 5 is not working anymore. Here it doesn't matter how old the build is. But if u say build 4 was working, and build 7 is not working... Then it's again useless Information.. Because there are too many changes if u skipped a few releases... U know what i mean ? :)

Also test always with the same gapps Version.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xuazak:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] : OK thank you for this... I'll try to test and find between which versions we lost it... Hope I'll have time this week-end for this.

But some questions to avoid me too many tests :

Do I need to test only ROM or kernels as well ?

Do I need to do the complete "dirty" install each time ? with ROM (incl recovery + kernel+ NT settings) + GAPPS + I8160P_support ? Or if I only install ROMs, GAPPS & I8160P_support will stay there ?

Thx again for everything !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
If u've fully working system... then do at first an cwm backup for just in case... and if u've the NFC Model:

flash an build from the FTP Server u think there is working sync ...

if it's FULL package then u only need to flash (after the rom of course) the NFC Support.zip file from "codinap" folder... use always the latest version.... this is OK. .. then test the sync .... if it doesn't work try another one.

but if choose an non-FULL version, then do this:

cwm backup

flash the non-FULL rom

flash codinap support.zip

flash latest kernel

wipe dalvik cache

reboot system

and test the sync .... if it doesn't work, test with another one .... using one of the two method ...

i think u'll find it very quickly.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I don't know if this Will gonna help you, but I don't believe that this problem is a sync problem. The problem is that there isn't Google account under bookmarks anymore, so propably is a browser's fault (amazon pics hack ??). Sorry I can't help further on this because the ace is the only device that I have..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
There is no amazon fix at all. Amazon itself changed his own Homepage.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xuazak:
OK thx for those advices...

One more question, just to be sure : were the last GAPPS you provided on the FTP from Mardon (http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/hdpi-google-apps-4-4-4-upd-20150513-t3108049) ?

I'm wondering if the bug would have started from the first time I uploaded those GAPPS... But as the bug persists with last opengapps, I doubt the issue comes from there...
