I'll check this out. If it is, don't you agree that the lib from there could be used for testing?

But the Amazon bug is present in vanirkk stock browser compiled by Chrono. Either he compiled it from different sources from his cm11, or something else happened. But, I do remember he said that he had switched to cm11 branches also for vanir.

Lol. I really need to learn more about reading github. I browsed for that code in your github, teamcanjica, also in ChronoMonochrome, but I didn't find it :D

Thanks for pointing that out. :good:

Actually for me, any current kk rom for Ace2 is considered bug free, since for my usage, I don't really encounter the bugs mentioned. Wouldn't even realized if it wasnt mentioned. Even for Instagram, I got it once, and since converting it to a smaller video type worked, I assumed it was related to memory issue (which I have to admit isn't big according to today's standard).

Other than that, it does gives a pleasant run :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
not an good idea probably. User can delete it by yourself and installing a new one ... like recording app and Launcher ... as for launcher... trebuchet is buggy ... but now at least it's more smooth ... but using Nova Launcher is much better ans smoother. Same for rec. app if u can find with working WAV ... but on the other hand recording in WAV is somehow painful due of too big file sizes.

Yes next build, i'll add insta fix .... only that for now ... i'll do it tomorrow maybe.

Yes for testing it's ok. CM11 from Chrono is almost same with mine CM11. But Vanir is different.

Yeah .. don't worry .. always slowly ... with time u can manage every thing ;)

Yes ... i consider it bugfree too :) For me increasing the smoothness + performance is even more important than fixing broken pics on that useless browser. I there is a way to block ads, then it would be probably the best browser for android .... but then of course with fixed pics ;)

btw: increasing performance mean everytime increasing efficiency as well ... which mean at the same time to have better battery lifetime :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lab34:
Hi,

We can block ads on the OS level with a custom /etc/hosts. It's super easy with AdAway (available on F-Droid).

I've been using the stock browser in conjunction with AdAway for a very long time. Now I'm trying "naked browser" (with adAway).

(edit: small typo)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lotrzyk0:
I cant fell as much difference as you can. I did step by step what you wrote some time ago like:

1. format cache/system/unomunt system and cache etc.

Will be the reason that my sdcard is dirty of some unneeded files and needs to be formated totally?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Yes, Firefox is better than Chromium and unlike Opera its UI is comparatively simple. I think we can overshoot the issue; i'd just edit the first page and the manual and add "Temporary fix: use a third party browser (recommended: Firefox)" to the bug.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I've been using it for a long time with stock browser and it's very smooth and fast.

In fact, i don't use apps like Tapatalk or XDA app, as stock browser has a really comfortable use.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I agree. My only complaint about it that mobile sites these days tend to consume a lot of data. Since in my country, data is quite costly, I still prefer data saving method (I know it's a proxy) like chrome or uc or opera.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I mainly use browser with WiFi, so I don't have that problem -for now-. I don't know how much you pay, but i spend 13€ for 500' and 800Mb and I'm not giving any cent more to Vodafone for something i can live without.

When i have little data left, I disable settings/bandwidth management/load images.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I also use WiFi at work, but other than that it's data (mainly for whatsapp, bbm, Tapatalk, and some browsing) for me. Considering that yours already included call, it's quite reasonable. I pay for 25,000 IDR (roughly 2 USD, right now) for 500MB. No calls. But I usually use it all up around the 3rd week. So, yeah, I really rely on the compress data of those browser to limit my usage
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
Stock browser is indeed fast. But the biggest and the main MINUS of stock browser is a buggy html player which plays videos out of sync with audio as well it is lagging. It just cant synchronize, so i am forced to use different browser like puffin or firefox to open website with videos (YouTube in example, it plays better quality than official youtube.)

I am not sure if stock html player will be ever fixed or replaced. I would like to.

Build 160516: Amazon issue, sound recorder working.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Okay .. the last chance: i'll build new kernel with updated ramdisk .. there is some new network config .. maybe that'll fix it ...

But if not, then i can do nothing.

as for Sound rec. it's fixed for ever since build 15/05 .. (no need to test it anymore) :)

Also Amazon pics, unless one day CM Team will fix it, and this is only possible on builds where i've updated cm sources.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:
Any new things with this update ramdisk asaide form network config?

Okay. I stay on the newest ROM build to test it with new kernel ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sylvinette:
Finally... as always, great work [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]!

So sorry I can' test it now because I don't have any backup CWM, virus screwed up my backup data.

I'm still using the last stable version.

But later since you gonna build new kernel I'll report to you. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
small Code optimization.

Updated Ramdisk (bootscripts) from latest CM Sources.

anyway, here the official Changelog for the ROM:

20160516 ROM:

Still has a problem with rendering video.

If I try uploading more than once, Instagram has stopped working. It cannot processing at all.

Tried with wifi and mobile connection.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I was missing that patch .. now i've released a ROM with that patch but insta video upload is still not ok.

Maybe it's needed to use that commit as well?:

Root is not working in 20160516 build.

It keeps refusing giving the root permissions.

Superuser tab is present in Settings but in Developer options, option to set up root access for adb, apps or adb + apps is missing.

BTW: I use latest kernel too.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Yeah, it should do, I've completely forgot about this commit..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Is root working with previous kernel ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Yes, it is.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] schampf:
Which is the latest *really* stable build?

Hello there,

first of all: thank you ace2nutzer for putting all that effort in this project :fingers-crossed:

I am currently using the original TeamCanjica ROM because I didn't notice that there is something better. Now I would like to update to the ROM and kernel by ace2nutzer but I realised that the recent builds seem to have some new issues often created by new optimizations. Now here are my questions:

- is there a build that one of you used for some time now without experiencing major issues (to clarify this: I can live with broken Images in stock browser but I want to have superuser control)

- once I installed that build, do I have to fully wipe my ace2 to update the ROM/kernel or is there a way to keep all my apps?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Check first page for installation method.

Wipe data is not needed i think.

Then for stable builds, check the file latest on my FTP ... but use previous kernel.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
What do you think it could be? Root Validator with 160516 Kernel and 160515 ROM installed says "Root shell had non OK exitcode (1)."
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
On kernel 160517, "Root shell had non OK exitcode(1)." again.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Found the issue. Now i'm compiling turbo-kernel + default one and uploading ....

I'll post like always the changelog ... then both kernels are uploaded ... sorry for the inconvenience :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] schampf:
So the issues come from the kernel?

Does this mean that I should use the new version (after it is uploaded, of course)?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up - Yes !

BugFix Kernel Release !

Changelog:

20160517:

Fixed Root Access (re-uploaded)

Same for turbo-kernel (re-uploaded)

;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Green light - Root available!

Out of curiosity, what was the issue?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
default.prop in ramdisk ...

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
U can flash nt app as well as long u don't mess it up with the gpu config.

U can wipe data of nt app, then it's configured like kernel defaults.

can u maybe test it ? I think it should be online in lesser than 2 hours ....

Also Applied LTO to the whole ROM ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:
Let's do this! :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:

On 20160518 build:

- Instagram fix works - videos normally uploaded to "the public" and in Direct option (sending video straight to the user),

- Poweramp install normally even with full LTO,

- Root restored(with 20160517 kernel).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Hmm not so bad ;)

btw, as i already said: poweramp + soundrecorder app is fixed for ever ... also it has nothing to do with LTO ;)

Well then this is our next stable ROM Build:

20160518 ROM:

Applied LTO also to TARGET_thumb ... but not for TARGET_thumb_CLANG ... as CLANG doesn't support very well LTO

Applied Fix: Force the use of Software Decoder/Encoder for video/avc - [Meticulus]
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sylvinette:
I still got this: http://prntscr.com/b5raza

And yes, I didn't do clean install, just updating from previous build. Should I clean install?

What type of video did you upload? Mine is .mp4 with 1280x720 resolution (taken from default camera app).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

did u followed installation method from first post carefully ??

I think wipe data is not needed :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sylvinette:
Oh I miss the step.

Alright it's working for uploading now, great! :)

But every video that I upload, it has one vertical green line at my video screen. At the other side, like I watch that video from Instagram website, it's clear.

Yeah, no problem, finally...

Btw, like this: http://prnt.sc/b5rsrk and http://prnt.sc/b5rsvq
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:
I dosen't have that line. Everything is OK for me.

I did clean install.

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] and rest of You guys

I thinking about build my own gapps for this ROM.

It will be based on package from FTP and thin as much as possible.

My goal is to reach max usability after first flash with set of - must have - apps like Supersu for eg.

I could try to personalize Gapps too.

What do you think about that idea?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
I think it would be good, but try to keep Google Play Store and com.google.android.gms up to date too because they keep being updated from time to time (when the pico gapps on opengapps.com changes size, the two aforementioned apps have been updated).

Check "Version information" and it lists every lib and app (with version numbers) which is included in the package. Of course you need to replace libjni_latinimegoogle.so (and we could also tell the Opengapps developers to do so in the 4.4.4 packages).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
In general, I think the idea is nice. Had wanted to do the same for some time to exclude all of my xposed needs :D

But anyway, why is it a must for supersu? Every ROM we use already includes root access, and it works quite fine. So, I'm not seeing why it's a must.

Similar discussion like launcher, currently the bundled one is trebuchet, but afaik, most of us use nova anyway.

Going on from that, I think if there is gonna be one flashable zip for general use, using something like aroma installer to give option would be a nice idea, else I agree with ace2nutzer when he says it's easier to let the user to install whatever he needs to later (if I'm not wrong he mentioned something like that some posts back.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] beardedpanda:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]

Just for my knowledge - can We use other GAPPS or We must stick to that package which is located on FTP server?

If We can use other GAPPS which one you'll recommend?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Personally, i use Opengapps pico. I just replace libjni_latinimegoogle.so with the one for CM11 after i'm done and then everything's fine and up to date.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yes u can .... but opengapps = swipe not working ... and there is also some small missing things like Browser Bookmarks or something like that.

I think u can use latest gapps package from mardon developer .... so far i didn't had time to download latest ... and upload to ftp ...

but honestly, i don't think that it's really needed to update gapps every month .. i think updating the ROM + gapps every 3 months should suffice :)

For now i was updating the rom very often, because of fixing bugs + optimizations ... but later when everything is done, then i'll anyway update the CM sources so lets say every 2 month ... more often is not needed .. CM team is not updating CM11 sources very often like on other newer CM Versions ... they just merge from time to time some updates from newer android version back into CM11 branch ... but just very small changes .... so updating every 2 months is more than enough ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
What's missing now? Updated video drivers?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
LCD Driver (not Video driver) optimization.

Maybe there is still a way to fix broken pics ....

Maybe we (chrono & me) are able to improve binary code performance even more .... (trying to build everything with GCC instead some use of CLANG ... which doesn't support a lot of optimizations ... including proper handling of LTO) Nope, it came out that some Code really need the extra features of CLANG Compiler. :)

Producing proper repart.zip .... (adapted to the ROM)

Yeah .. and that's it ! ;)

btw: [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] .. if u want, u can try to use libwebviewchromium.so lib from latest CM11 from Rox :

http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00147/q16/cm-11-20141109-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip

for our latest CM11 here .... and test Amazon pics :)

It must not be the M8 milestone or later. But i'm trying anyway.

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] Well, i've replaced all the chromium labeled libs with the one from the ROM i downloaded from the provided link. Amazon pics are still not showing up.

In return, can you please test WPS Office Suite on ROM 160518? Apparently, it crashes. Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] bebolint98:
WPS works on 160518.

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] I saw that with the latest rom youtube video lagging and play in very slow if I didn't put to fullcreen mode in Stock browser or Lightning browser, why?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
In my case, WPS is crashing.

Couldn't install Ultimate 6.0. It locks up. Of course, i wiped as you instructed and previously installed ChronoMonochrome's kernel.

Installed latest OmniROM 5.1.1 (20160310): no Amazon pics showing up.

Unfortunately dev.host is very slow at the time, at least for me.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I've installed WPS Office + PDF and it only crashed one time ... then it worked fine. i was able to open an pdf file ....

Also i had an Report over not working Amazon Music App ... but it works here fine.

I've forgot to mention that i've updated Java on the Build-server ... (Security update) .. so probably wipe apps cache + even wipe data of some apps is needed ... only for those is causing problems.

as for slow dev-host: yes, that's true .. most of the time it's very slow .... that's why one user (S.AMU) is providing FTP Server for us !

As for slow video playback on stock browser: right now tested, it's really slow ... and no audio at all .... also slow on full-screen...

I think the insta workaround did it fuc**'ed up ! :D

I'll see what i can do on it ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Right, bro. I had to wipe cache. Done, now WPS flies.

Hey there,

installed the 20160517 build and everything works fine most of the time. But I had to format /data in order to fix a serious bug that had appeared on the TeamCajica ROM (the menu button on the home screen had disappeared, so I was not able to access somme apps).

I can only report one strange bug I had: Some SMS-Widget installed itself automatically deleting some of the apps icons on the home screen. I deleted the widget and put some of my apps back at the home screen but the phone was very slow afterwards. After a reboot I found everything as it was before the widget had appeared. Very strange :confused:.

Automatic brightness controll does not work.

Concerning a clean install: is it normal that I cannot format /preload?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Try again clean install ..... check the first page here :)

Ace 2 doesn't have light sensor.

Yes, ... u don't need to format it .... When u install my kernel then it'll automatically format /preload partition.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Well done ! :good:

For two days I try to make a working updater-script for install in a row ROM, kernel and gapps but I didn't go so far. I attached my updater-script project with folder structure so you can inspect it.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] snyfear:
Hi guys,

After more than a year with the previous stable CM11 from Ace2nutzer which became very slow, I finally flashed 20160518 following the first page instructions.

The result is incredible, 30 seconds to open Firefox before, around 3 seconds after. You have made an awesome job Ace2nutzer.

I only have a problem with all google Apps post installed which are force crashing often . "google play service", "gmail", "google play game", "google play music".

I tried to clean cache and data of those apps, clean cache and dalvik from recovery, reinstall HDPI mini gapps but the problem persist.

If somebody have solution, my Ace2 will finally be perfect.

Thanks in advance,
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
try to wipe data of all google labeled apps ... if it doesn't help much, then u'll end up with full wipe data.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] snyfear:
I did full wipe by precaution after I applied your first page instructions... Then I reinstalled missing google apps from play store and their data from Titanium. That's may be the mistake.

Anyway I'll try to uninstall and reinstall them before restarting everything from sratch. Thanks for your help.

---------- Post added 21-05-2016 at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was 20-05-2016 at 11:57 PM ----------

It seems the problem was related to hangoot as Google play service stop crashing ad soon as i uninstalled it. I'll try later to install it again without restori'g data.

Thanks again for your work and help.

@up

wiping data and then later restoring an cwm backup or restoring some data with titanium backup serves nothing ... it's same like to not wiping at all.

if u guys don't want to wipe data, because it's that much painfully to configure the whole phone, then as is said before just wipe data (and not restore later with titanium) for such apps are causing problems.
