No Sorry ... i don't care much about MicroG.

Also i don't have the time for this.

check free space ...

open terminal emulator app and type: "df" ... and post the result here.

Hmm that's really strange thing indeed !

Can u maybe do a Foto or video how it looks like ??

Anyway this isn't very helpful, i mean, it's great that it works now for u ... but if u want to help to make generic way working, then u should consider the things i wrote to u.

Without such info i can't fix it.

Hello @ace2nutzer

Why no option Reboot? Reboot option To Recovery And download
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] jbuser99:
It has worked only for one time and no more. It could be the fastboot mode which causing the problem. Since the phone boots to ROM automaticaly when it get current over the charging connector, the charger app has no chance to be started.

Do you know if the fastboot mode is enabled? and how to disable it?

Thx
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Afaik, our device don't have a fastboot mode.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
u can enable advanced reboot-menu in developer settings.

Then there is a problem with the charger cable or the connector from the Phone.

I've the same issue with an 3rd-party USB Charger.

After the phone is booted up, i need to disconnect and reconnect the cable ... otherwise it doesn't charge at all ....

But Original Charger + Charging over Computer works fine for Offline Charging (LPM --> low-power-management)

Hi [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]. I'm trying to download Odin kernel from your site, but I can't.

I8160P Semi-Bricked after several ROMs

Hello everyone,

Contact with you because I do not know what to do or what to try. I have an I8160P (Ace II) that it stopped working (Samsung logo appeared continuously). I tried to install a ROM (from the P series always) and now I have it semi-bricked: I get this message '' Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again ''

I have followed all the tutorials and tried with ODIN of different versions (old and newer) and it recognize the mobile, but after several ROMs, none of them worked well. I have tested with the following:

I8160PBVLK3_I8160PAMNLK1_AMN

I8160PXXLK2_DBTLK2_v2.3.6_Repair_Firmware

I8160PXXLK2_I8160PDBTLK2_DBT

I8160PXXLK3_I8160POXALK1_XEF

I8160PXXME1_I8160PDBTME1_DBT

I8160PXXMG2_I8160PDBTMG2_DBT

I8160PXXMG2_I8160POXXMG1_PHE

PHE-I8160PXXMG2-20131210090416

In all test that I do, ODIN indicates "PASS", but it still indicates the same error message: '' Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again ''

After this, I try to install "Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Germany GT-i8160P" with its three files, but it did'nt work. Thanks to culateralligator, I tried to install this file ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.X_codina.ODIN.tar by ace2nutzer, but it's always the same error: '' Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again ''.

Previously, I had installed the Cyanogenmod 11. Now, I can enter in Downloading Mode, but never in Recovery with any of this files.

Can you help me please?

Thank you very much in advance.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

enter recovery mode (if it works) and do: wipe data.

Then flash the following ROM's in this order ... and do always a "wipe data" before u flash a new ROM ...

so here u go:

Flash it all with ODIN .. and make sure u've only the SAmsung mobile drivers installed ...

it's highly recommended to uninstall samsung kies before u use ODIN...

Use the ODIN offline flasher from the first post here ... (dev-host)

3-parted stock GB ROM LK2

3-parted stock JB ROM ME1

1-parted stock JB ROM MG2

Then flash latest ace2nutzer kernel for 4.1.2 if u want to use the stock rom with max. speed.

where it happens ?

recovery, offline charging, lock screen ??

LCD Type ???

already listed :o

,

This is gapps issue, try to switch the gapps: opengapps <--> mardon.

Well, according to the latest informations and investigations it's right that for WS2401 the default Freq is hardcoded to approx. 50Mhz, but this LCD never worked well with this default freq on ROM's higher than 4.1.2.

On Stock GB this LCD Type seems to work better than on stock 4.1.2 .. but there it's NOT running @ 50Mhz like expected ... but it's hard coded in Kernel to 80Mhz plus some other tricks to get it stable .... which are hard to find.

The MCDE Driver is a very hard and big Section in kernel ... and we, chrono and i already tried to port this MCDE Driver but without any success.

Actually it's hard coded to 67Mhz ... and it's acceptable smooth ... but it's fully smooth @ next step which is 80Mhz ... and can be activated with my control APP the switch: "tuned freq" for Display.

And for S6D27A1 there is more luck .... the default Freq is 31Mhz .. and actually it's tuned @ 33Mhz .. and it's acceptable ... but fully smooth it's with "tuned freq" enabled which correspond 36Mhz.

The main Problem is probably even not the LCD or MCDE Driver itself ... (since it's overclocked in GB as well) ... but it's most probably an incompatibility with our outdated GPU / openGLES Drivers which we even don't have any sources for it :)

The Root problem is also the fact that samsung just choose a wrong LCD for this Mainboard ...

Never worked properly ... and probably it'll never work properly ... we only can "optimize" and "adapt" it to force it a bit to run smooth .... and this is what we did now :)

.

OK, but honestly i don't care much ... since it's not the best idea to do it in a running system ....

So no reason to add it to the Bug list.

Factory reset, always do it in recovery.

Yes of course :o A few more small bugs ... but they are so small that it's really not worth it to add them to the bug list.

The thing is that many users don't quite understand the difference between an small bug in a feature, but fully working .... and a bug in a feature that means really that it'll not work at all.

If u feel that it sucks, then switch to the latest Stock ROM with my kernel like i did now ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] richard kane:
on the lock screen
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Ok, with latest kernel?

And what's your LCD Type and LCD Config in the Kernel Control APP?

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Cursed Chico:
I made clean install to new version :( but still when i call, it goes black screen :( this time when i click left menu button, it sometimes goes to desktop home screen. When i again select my call from notification, it again goes to black. It was working before, i dont know what happened (i only installed rom and kernel and swipe etc, not any app or backup yet)

I again flashed rom. only flashed latest rom but still same. cant see screen while calling. only after clicking left menu for second, then desktop home screen
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

as i had already told to u here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70939692&postcount=6996

u've problems with the Proximity Sensor.... this is hardware problem .. (probably only a bad contact) and not software issue.

Usually the Screen gets black during a call when u put it to your ear and it will go on when u remove it from your ear = fully working proximity sensor.

In a case that the screen is always black during a call, the Sensor has bad contact or it's broken.

Workaround: Try latest Stock ROM with my kernel, there u can disable the broken Sensor in the Telephone App (the app where u can do calls)

But then the Screen is always ON during a call and can't save battery ....

Therefore it's better to repair it, or simply buy another Ace2 with working Proximity Sensor.

update to the latest version ... that should fix the issue.

Anyway, report if it fixed your issue or not.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] richard kane:
Okay :) you are good. Thank you very much :)

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]

Does the stock rom + your kernel + repartion work better than this cm11 ?? I like more performance and stability ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] galac44:
I installed latest ROM (20170207) with cm11 repartitionning, and it works fine. With repartitionning, it's amazing how much space we have. Before it was always full, and now I have too much ;)

But during my first try of repartitionning I had problems, so I wanted to get back to original partitionning. I tried to reflash JB ROM with odin and it didn't work. It could only boot to recovery. I tried 3 part ROM, repartitionning with PIT file, but it failed every time. I tried on another computer, with differents versions of odin, also with heimdall on linux, but every try on repartitionning in download mode failed. The phone could only boot to recovery (stock).

But the stock recovery worked, so I flashed the cwm_stock_partitons_layout.zip. And after the original ROM (that worked previoulsy many times) with odin. But it always boot to recovery. But the recovery worked and I could install cm11 repartitionning and the cm11 ROM.

But it seems now that my phone couldn't go back to stock ROM with odin and is stuck with custom ROM. Does anybody have and idea about that, or the same thing ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

unfortunately i had similar problems ... it looks like that even if we revert to stock partitions layout... and then flash a one-parted stock rom .. that it'll fail to mount /system ....

Hmm now i've original untouched Partition layout on my Phone ... i'll compare it tomorrow with the reparted script ...

maybe i had mess it up :D

Because the "mess" is just the fact that Stock GB and Stock JB uses a different partitions layout .... and probably that's why it fails to mount /system.

The only thing that worked for me was to flash 3-parted Stock ROM GB ... and then 3-parted Stock ROM JB ... and then latest official Stock ROM for JB ... this is for GT-I8160P ... but for GT-I8160 it should be very similar...

Anyway ... be careful which STOCK ROM's u flash guys ! If u flash the wrong Stock ROM on your Ace 2 there is high possibility to Soft-brick the Phone ... keyword: Wrong Bootloader ---> no download mode .... ---> u'll need JTag / Riff-Box to rewrite proper Bootloader. (USB-JIG serves nothing here).

But when u flash custom ROM's ... then it doesn't hurt much if u flash the wrong ROM... because in the worst case u only can cause a Bootloop ... which is very easy to fix it up without extra equipment.

the stock rom is fully stable and bugfree.

In terms of performance i can't say actually what is faster ... because actually i didn't install all my apps ... only flashed kernel and installed whatzapp .. also i didn't delete all the system apps that i'll not need.

When i'm done, i'll write here a little report for CM11 vs. Stock ROM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] galac44:
Can you give the name of the 3-parted ROM you use ? I also have a GT-I8160P with NFC. I never tried to go back to GB, maybe I could try this.

But when I was trying to flash, I used GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G.pit, and tried also to flash it alone. But every time I had a FAIL in odin. Maybe something is wrong with my phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
Any news about newest build with stock jb partitioning?

I ask because in 2 days.

My Ace 2 freeze randomly on cm-11-20160910

And reboot itself.

Thats why i think about upgrade to newest version.

I use this phone without gaaps.

Only for music, video and some web browsing.

But i need stable phone with working xposed (i use greenify).

Ace2nutzer any news?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Probably u do all the time something wrong ....

I'll write a tutorial how to flash this Phone properly ......

Stock layout was never the best idea for CM11 ... its structure is completely different than Stock ROM.

Using the CM11 without to use a custom layout is just a waste on space.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
But i want this stock partition.

I use this one micro SD card on 2 phone.

LG and Samsung.

Without sd card Ace 2 with CM11 is usless. Just cant install anything.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Hmm probably not a good idea to use the same card on 2 different android phones ... especially if there is installed some same apps on both phones .... it can cause some interferences .. and possibility of app crashes.

So why not simply buy another Card?

Or u can use nosdcard version for the use of only internal sdcard0 with 1GB.

what was the problem? - It looks all fine.

Same here ... all fine.

On this card i have only music, video and apk install files.

Nothing more.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Mokujin5757:
As I wrote in page 703 , I'm having app crashes . It does not happen everytime but when it happens, it freezes phone so much . Like it overloads to CPU/RAM . It even occurs on systemUI . Then you said that I should use df command on terminal and post the screenshot .
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

df is ok ... try to post a screenshot of "free" when u feel that the phone will start to freeze or some apps starts to crash .... it'll show how much RAM + zRam is filled ... maybe it's just on their limits...

on the other hand, it's also possible that u'll need to try a clean install .....

btw: which ROM are u currently using ? i hope u didn't install an experimental build ...

But first, before u try wipe data, let me know what ROM u're using (version and which kernel version and which A2N Kernel Control Version) ... maybe we can solve the issue without an factory reset.

what do u mean by "small percentage" ? - Low Batttery ?, if so, on which percent is it starting this issue ?

I suspect it has smthg to do with a very low battery capacity ... (nearly dead battery)

Hmm, ok, but u still can remove the card ... u only need to power off the phone ... then it's ok ... and u can start the phone also without any sdcard ... it should work anyway. ... only Camera (and maybe some more) will not work.

With kernel for sd0 + sd1 .. u'll only be able to remove the sdcard without to shutdown the system .... but u'll still need to enter in "settings" ---> "Storage" and choose "Remove sdcard" in order to unmount the card before u remove it .... otherwise data loss is highly possible.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
Wysłane font and App im newest build for something like that?

Or option to simply use phone without SD card?

In Old xperia x8 several years ago. I use something like that.

Xperia use all memory card as internal memory.

But when i install kernel i have a option to choose more memory for apps install.

Or use phone normal without SD card. And any issue.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
internal memory is 4GB for:

/system

/data

sd0

+ a few more partitions for other system stuff like modem firmware, bootloader etc ...

Actually layout for normal version is:

/system = 700MB

/data = 2,9GB

sd0 = 1MB

so here u need sdcard for the use of sd0 ... because default of 1MB is too low.

The Other layout "nosdcard" is:

/system = 700MB

/data = 1,9GB

sd0 = 1GB

here only this internal sd0 is active .... the use of real sdcard is disabled ....

why? - I can add here the use of real sdcard like it's on Stock ROM ... so both together ... sd0 + sd1 ...

But what it should optimize??

As u can see on this layout the /data (for apps) has 1GB less space due of 1GB for sdcard0 ....

so the result is here: /data will be very quickly full ... so u'll need in every case an real sdcard ... and u'll need to move apps from /data to /sd0 or if sd0 is probably also full, u'll need to move apps to sd1 ....

But that's not all, the mess starts with the confusion if u'll later swap storages or not .... because the weird thing is that some apps will install app data to sd0 ... and some to sd1 ... no matter if u swap storage or not.

Also some Apps fails to install at all with both sdcards activated.

And one more thing: moving apps to real sdcard is also not that easy ... because u'll need to create one more partition on real sdcard ... then installing the app: link2sd .... then u can move all apps u want to your real sdcard.

As u can see that's a quite painfully solution for nothing good...

All problems listed above u don't have with the actually Config .... u can actually move ALL apps (not only some) to the real sdcard without the need to make extra partition on sdcard and also no need to install link2sd .... works all over ROM low-level ... fully natively.

Hi, ace2nutzer,

is this the ROM you would prefer for the ACE2? (daily use, fast)

Or would you recommend me to take another version from your custom roms?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yes, but with some minor Bugs .... One bigger Bug is described in Post #3. :)

But the Stock ROM 4.1.2 works as well and is bug free. ( but a bit slower compared to CM11, since it's not compiled by me)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Bib_x:
Ok, thanks. This errors on post #3 seems to be only small bugs, so no problem. The smartphone is for a friend who only wants to use whatsapp and making some photos :)

I installed your ROM and the nosdcard Kernel.

Is it required to use the no_sdcard_layout also or can i use it with only rom and kernel with old partition?

After installation, all runs good, only ace2kernel control doesn´t work. I can open it, but when i press one of the things in the main menue, i get a message that the app is closed. So i can´t select one of the options.

Do you know where there could be a problem?

Hi [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION].

Is there a chance to avoid the battery feature witch stops charging at 100% and it starts charging again at 95%? I mean, include this possibility on ace2nutzer control app or just could you explain me how can I do it manually by myself.

Lastly 'm finding 30' less of SOT than I used to.

I leave the phone plugged all the night (I have no other chance as it usually has <10% at the end of the day) and I have to say... my phone has almost 5 years... I just want to enjoy the phone as much i can while it lasts (hope some years still).

BTW: I have 2 ace 2 at home, so I've purchased your app two times, one per each phone. Good work! :good:
