I'm to 99% sure it's gapps issue.

I repeat again: i'm not a gapps developer, some time ago u guys could find the gapps package on my FTP ... but it was compiled by developer "mardon".

I'm still using his gapps and i don'T have any issues, just to mention i don't use bookmarks sync at all .... so i can't say anything.

Anyway, i only can see a lot of gapps errors in logcat .. so i just removed it from the FTP and i've suggested to u guys to use the latest opengapp the smallest package "pico" in the hope that it's more cleaner compiled. But with the side-effect that swype keyboard (AOSP Stock) isn't working .... but on my FTP Account there is in Folder "misc" a swype_fix.zip made by [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] that fixes the swype.

If i remember correctly, opengapps has also this sync issue, some guys reported this i think. So probably (i'm not sure) but u can find working Bookmark sync on some old gapps package from "Mardon".

Also i don't say that the latest ROM is 100% OK ... i believe there are some bugs that actually i'm trying to fix them.

The currently Bugs found by me: exfat, ART and maybe also libc.

When those things are fixed, i'll upload new build, maybe then Browser sync is fixed too, but as i said i don't think it's Stock Browser issue as this Bookmark Sync feature is coming from gapps package ... see in the link from mardon u posted:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Emubert:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] could you consider including microG's patch for signature spoofing?

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/tree/master/patches
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Such non announced builds by me are only for testing purposes.

That means: no changelog, no support, and it's even incomplete, not stable.

U should only install builds from the File "latest" from the FTP Server.

New Release in short ....

What is the benefit after applying this patch ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
It allows any app to claims itself as another app. In that case, it is being used to allow other network location provider to act as Google's nlp
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Thanks for the explanation, but i still didn't quite understand if it's really needed feature somehow ....

If everything works just fine, why we should mess it up with it ? - I don't see any issues with the location service from Google.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
If we are using Gapps, you are right, then it's not needed. But if we are to use services without google dependencies like microg (http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616), then it is needed. :)

I tried it once, and wasn't that happy with the location's capabilities for Indonesia here.

[MENTION=7700064]Emubert[/MENTION]

Have you tried to use the xposed module first? Just to be sure whether you like the capabilities or not.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] stefanoscheda:
Is anybody using Delta Gapps and addons by Deltadroid on this kernel/ROM? Issues or caveats?

TIA,

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Thanks! So it's even Alpha status.

So actually i say no.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Karut:
Is Spirit FM working for you guys with the 20161018 build? I dirtyflashed 20161018 over some old rom version, extracted the spirit .apk und installed it manually. Are there some special settings I need to set for it to work?

Now I still get the same error:

error no fm accessible

su: 2 fm: BC2 Su: 1 bt:3 ht: 0 mo:bcu
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Check Changelog.

Check Post #3.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Karut:
Did this of course. I may have to do a clean install then.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
So u did this ?

go to Setting ----> Audio ----> Method ----> Galaxy S3/Note/S2_ICS

u also can wipe data of that app by hand ... and also remove file /data/spiritsu

then install the app again ... and then after u start the app make sure to allow root access .... otherwise it'll not work.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Emubert:
Yes, I'm running the whole microG stack since a couple of months without any location issue.

The location functionality is fully implemented tho:

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status

Other ROMs add a setting for signature spoofing inside the developer options (disabled by default). That way you don't just force it on everyone. microG is alpha but still the only way to have a fully functional google-free phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
So if i understand correctly, with microG it's possible to use Play Store App and location service over wifi, without to install any regular gapps package ???
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Emubert:
Yes, either a ~working client with BlankStore [1] or a dummy one with FakeStore [2].

Yes "GmsCore includes the Unified Network Location Provider module (UnifiedNlp) which handles application calls to Google's network location provider. It relies on location and address lookup backends which must be installed separately" [3]. Backends can be found on F-Droid [4].

None. Signature spoofing is mandatory for that "so GmsCore can pretend the existence of the official Play Services to applications calling Google APIs" [3].

hi, please send 20161106 download link. i not found in http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/CM11/codina/
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] atakan33:
20161106 is kernel.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
there was actually 2016-11-12 rom but somehow this one got deleted ( im currently using this latest version) Also seems like the latest kernel is not included in this build.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
This was an internal test-build ... no cm sources update, and not FULL package ... so no kernel and so on.

Such builds that are basically never released by me such as non-FULL builds, are always test-builds, no changelog and so on.

And are only for testing purposes... usually after i've downloaded the test-build, i delete it from FTP server ... but sometimes i just forget this, or i don't have the time to do it, or other reasons. That was the last Build compiled from Build Server located in Indonesia ... provided by user shaqman89 ....

Actually an mistake happens during creating system backup .. and upgrading the distro ... so that the server is actually completely down.

But at least there is an backup of course ... shaqman89 only need to restore this backup, of course when her has the time to do that.... also it's not clear at all if it's possible to restore the backup. .... So just be patient now about new builds.....

ROM Updates from me + ChronoMonochrome can take now some time .... as ROM building needs at least 6GB of RAM (for CM11). Laptops, if they are old .. only have around 1 - 4 GB RAM ... in my case i've 4GB RAM + approx. 1,2GB zRam .. and it was possible to build the CM11 without to run out of memory.

Of course building latest Android version needs probably even more RAM ... probably at least 8GB RAM.

Anyway, fortunately all changes was pushed to github (my CM11) .. so that i can continue CM11 development here on my laptop.

With the difference that my laptop is 4-times slower than the build-server. (2h vs. 8hours).

But at least it works ... i usually start the build, i go sleep and when i wake up sometimes it's already done or i need to wait 1 hour ;)

This without ccache, with ccache it should go faster .. probably only 2 - 3 hours. On Server with ccache only needs 1 Hour ^^
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] vancuong196:
thank you for your Rom. it is really good but i wonder if there is a problem with GPS?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
GPS works perfectly for me. Have you tried searching for GPS fix in this thread? There are some ways to make GPS better
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lab34:
Hello,

sometimes, a problem with the gps fix is caused by a bad system time. Maybe a problem with the ntp server (not responding, or slow to respond... I must admit I don't know the details) or maybe a problem with time provided by the phone network....

Every time I had this kind of problem (when I'm travelling outside my country for example), I have succeed to fix with the "GPS Aids" app (but other exists)

On the option I put a ntp server "near" me (europe.pool.ntp.org for me) and I click on "inject NTP time".

Sorry for not to be more precise. It's just a hint I'm using.

On a daily using of this rom, I rarely have problem with gps.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] vancuong196:
thank you for your reply, i'll search for GPS fix

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] atakan33:
which is more faster? ace2nutzerss or Rox ? Please answer who tried both of them

New Kernel is Up !!

Changelog:

20161117:

Disabled unneeded crypto options

Removed performance governor

Reworked Code Optimizations

Reduced Kernel Size

New CM11 Version is in around 5 Days available.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Yønn:
Hi there,

I face some issues since last previous Kernel (20161106), I am now using 20161117.

Sometimes the phone freezes completely, screen on, no interactivity.

The only way to get out of this is to reboot.

I tried to wipe both cache partition and dalvik cache, but it did not fix the pb. My last try was to wipe NT app data.

Since then, this issues did not happen again, but I am not so sure it is fixed.

Someone else with such issue?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
for me, sometimes phone freezes for few seconds, and then reboots, after reboot, i cannot turn on wifi, so i have to manually reboot my phone and then it works again. Though it happened just few times and all these times i had my wifi on.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
The latest packages are 100% stable. There is no issues with wifi or freezes. I'm using wifi all the time without problems.

How to fix?

- To wipe data of Novathor App was a good starting point.

- Don't change any CPU/GPU Freq. or Voltage Settings ... also use for testing only the default: "balanced" profile and just check if everything works stable.

Usually it should work stable, if NOT, just post after the random reboot the "last_kmsg" here OR:

If u're an power user, u can try to set CPU Voltage for 150Mhz Step to varm=0x1a and for 800Mhz Step set varm=0x28.

After that it should work 100% stable, if not, u should consider to do a clean install.

Edit:

The whole command would be:

su
cd /sys/kernel/liveopp
echo varm=0x1a > arm_step00
echo varm=0x28 > arm_step01

Remember that those Settings are only on-the-fly .. and there are only Valid for the actual running session ... so after an reboot, u need to repeat this Step !

Anyway just report what helps for u, then i can decide how to proceed .. i.e. adjusting Voltages in kernel directly, or maybe i'll tell to u to do an init.d script ... then it's set only for u after every boot, then u don't need to repeat this step every time u reboot the phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] zzenyoo:
Same story with my Ace for quite some time (once for a few weeks). Maybe its time for clean install.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
For me it works stable since years even without to make clean install .... the only important thing is to not mess it up with NovaThor APP ;)

Also it's important to use always latest kernel + NovaThor APP.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Why I should make use of novathor if I don't want to change something on that app?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] slayer_007:
"Ace2Nutzer Kernel 20161117" Is it really stable?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yes my Friend ;)

I meant it can cause instability if someone is using latest kernel with an older Version of NT-APP or Vice-versa of course.

If u like to use kernel/NT-APP Defaults, then u can delete this App.... works as well 100% stable :)

But u'll loose a lot of Comfort features.

btw are u also not using the CM Performance Profiles ?? (just out of curiosity)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I rarely make use of the cm profiles, but without any problem.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
It's also stable for me. Could it be the issue is related with ram?

It doesn't happen to me now since I use a larger zram than default, but a freeze followed by a reboot and have WiFi issue was in the past caused by a full memory, and then OOM triggers, which in turns kills zygote and framework, which in the end triggers a soft reboot,

Hi to all,

is a lot of time I'm not here in ace2 section :P

I remain at rox left, and now i want to flash something again! [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] i'll use your kernel, but I don't understand if you make you own custom rom starting from TC'cm or something similar.

Advice

Hi guys,

can you please tell me which version of rox rom is best with this kernel? I am using 24.10 but there is problem when i have music on. When i turn of display music starts to rustle. In older version i had problem with phone call history.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Best CM 11 ROM is actually from 18/11 .. based on latest TC CM 11 .. with some bugfixes.. check the changelog here in this thread.. u'll find it.

Kernel i suggest always the latest here.. but unfortunately actually is there a bug in OC .. it runs only stable till 1Ghz... but i'm working on it to make it stable again...

It' s easy to fix this, because it run also unstable on my phone... it' s only complicated when i try to fix something what is working on my Phone... ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] doctormord:
The latest builds never ran stable with CPU clock set higher than 1000. The older ROX builds were stable up to 1150 here.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yeah is known.. u probably don't read the last some posts... but is great to have another confirmation .. ;)

Next Build will bring back the stability on OC > 1000Mhz :)

But wich build are u using the 1150Mhz stable ? (date)

I've used your lastest build and kernel, I feel my bettery drain so fast in Interactice Gorv. so I change to Ondemand, but when I reboot phone, it restored to Interactive automatically, I've already ticked set on boot option, can you guys give some help :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fluffi444:
This is normal and OK.

But you have to! The format option is on EXT4 as standard in F2FS Kernel - You have to switch it manually....

If you want to try: Do the same but without GAPPS and let Phone boot and post the space on System
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] asdroid:
Sorry but where can i download last rom build? In op I see only kernel link..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
come on .. open you eyes.. 2 Servers..(same Download link as kernel) and available in f2fs and ext4 for codina and codinap = 8 x uploaded !

Maybe this is the Issue.. u don't need to root .. u must say NO ...

I'm still curious to know why u don't simply follow the instructions ?! - I've never writed to root the Phone !!

When u say Yes.. then some files are copied to /system .. then u've less free space ....:highfive:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kidor:
thanks a lot ace2nutzer. I've installed your last CM11 version and it's great ! No more black screens, battery 25%/day, much better !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
New Build is Up !

Changelog:

20141219:

improved stability for CPU/GPU

completely new GPU OC Algorithm (smoother and more stable)

more powersaving on screen OFF (suspend)

readded APE_25_OPP for screen OFF

Set deepest sleep state 4 by default

Removed sweep to wake and double tap to wake

- because it's half broken and it needs wakelock ....

Fixed reboots on OC

Adjusted Charging current_termination ---> faster full charged

enabled also 100Mhz instead of 50Mhz for "SDI 1" (testing)

Notes:

1. It should now stable for all @ 1100Mhz even on scaling (interactive gov.) .. but if a random reboot happend, check in NT-APP current deepest sleep state and set it @ 4 .. if this didn't help, set it @ 3 and report here.

2. New GPU Frequencies.. therefore before u replace your 01optimization File in init.d Folder.. open the new File and compare the Freq. table with yours.. correct your backup file and replace it.

3. Enjoy !!! :laugh:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] artur1131:
Anyone know why i cant set lower cpu freq than 400mhz? Its the lowest clock i have in performance options.

+i have only 3 governors avaible (conservative, ondemand, interactive)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

read Post #1 then u know why :o

btw: from 50 - 400Mhz, Power consumption is same, that's the reason why i removed all steps till 400Mhz.

Also u'll see that i've removed the extended Steps.. because those steps --> 500, 700, 900Mhz etc.. don't save more power as expected, but they caused lags... simply formula: the more steps, the more scaling, the more freq. switching = the more lags. ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] junnickbefore14:
I got reboot after overclocking to 1100 Mhz with the latest built..

Tried the method above, didn't work..

But 1000Mhz really stable anyway
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
@up

Actually I'm quite happy with the latest.

With previous I could only use 1150,but now I'm using 1250 and have been okay for 4 hours.

Of course I can't say it's a hundred percent stable yet, but we'll see in a day or two.

Oh yeah, I am using deep sleep 5 and it's still good :D

Really good job. Let's see whether this goes on in the long run.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Tried also with Deep sleep 3 ???

@ shaqmann: hey hey hey .. :D that sounds good.:good:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] junnickbefore14:
Yeah..

What actually I do to know it is stable or not is by playing game with ppsspp..

When I use 1000Mhz it is awesome, no reboot even once..

But things is different with 1100Mhz or 1200Mhz, my phone always reboot after 2 minutes playing..

When not playing, the phone also reboot by itself in idle state sometimes

It would be awesome if 1200Mhz is stable, because it will improve my gaming experience

Btw great work, keep it up :thumbup:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] artur1131:
Then i have some other problem then. Since im using "new" kernels my battery is going much faster than on some old chrono 1.x.x

I unplugged phone 7 hours ago, had 1 hour screen on and my battery is only 55% now
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Not really.

,

The actually default is 1/3 of ram which correspond 210MB .. i can suggest to don't use more than 250MB as bigger Value will even slow down the whole System.

Usually u can't trigger an OOM that easy. In my Case i stress-tested the LMK by simply running a huge app "real racing 3" and having the zram disabled for that stress-test ... with the result that the App simply FC after some seconds ... and that's it ! After that, the Phone is usable normally again using normal apps. No soft-reboot at all.

[but with enabled zram (default size of 1/3), it works perfectly smooth]

So in a case of freeze + random reboot, i still can suggest to read my previous post:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
I've been using performance profiles where you can change "power save" - "balanced" - "performance", but i can't seem to find a difference in terms of speed between these profiles, only if i change to balanced or performance mode, then my phone gets very hot, but performance remains the same so i always use power saving mode, idk why it is like that.

BTW I might be making speed test between Galaxy ace 2 cm 11 by ace2nutzer VS. OnePlus 3 ;) just to see what is the real difference compared to one of the currently fastest android devices :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Hmm that is strange .. :D but there is 100% a difference ! - it's not a fake feature .. . lol .

Speed is almost the same if u try to open an app that is already in RAM ... but otherwise "performance" is the fastest one of course. u can also check max CPU Freq with both 3 profiles ...

powersave his max is only 600Mhz ... while balanced is 800 and performance is 1Ghz :)

So always +200MHz difference between the profiles.

GPU max. Freq also changes ...

Cool ! But better to do the test with upcoming CM11 Release .... since actually latest one is somehow screwed up ... (but still stable) ;)

Well, so lets compare the Specs of both Phones lol:

Ace2 vs. OnePlus 3

CPU: 2x800Mhz vs. 2x2200Mhz + 2x1600Mhz

GPU: 1x400Mhz vs. 2xXXXMhz or 4xXXXMhz cores (didn't find any info)

RAM 0.76GB DDR2 vs. 6GB DDR4

Hi,

I'm on Vanir KK and ChronoKernel, both on latest version, And reparted 3gb on data.

I'd like to give a try to this ROM.

1- A dirty install is enough or do you recommend a full install ?

2- Will i keep my 3Gb reparted partition ? i will have to do something special to keep it and swype sdcard ?

Thanx
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I'm not sure but it should be enough ... so u can try a dirty install ... if u'll face some Force Closes, then it's better to wipe data.

0. Remove Chrono Kernel APP

1. flash latest FULL package:

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

2. flash latest kernel:

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

3. Flash latest GT-I8160P Support. (ONLY if u've the NFC Model !! )

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

4. Flash gapps:

http://opengapps.org/ (choose ARM, 4.4, pico)

5. Flash Swype Fix:

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

6. Reboot system

7. Done :)

Sure

Yes, after it's installed, just open NovaThorApp and swap storages and reboot the phone.

@ ace2nutzer,

the bar diagram for the signal strengh(no data,2G) is frequently only grey,but for example after getting a call two or three are orange(same place,only seconds later).I am using your 20161018 stable with the latest Baseband for my region(XXNB1).Can you explain this or is there something to fix?Maybe it the same cautious like stock,but I never used stock on this device so I don`t know.

What has to be said: Thanks for your work!!! :good::good::good:
