I'm experiencing a delay in updating the time on lockscreen when turning on the screen. Still on ROM 22.11.2016 cause of the Xposed issue with latest ROM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] PolishVodka:
Buy the biggest and fastest sd card as you can and format it to f2fs or ext4. Two partitions if you want have even /system + /data + rest of space for sdcard stuff. Or just one for /data + make emulated mount point for sdcard. Emulated sdcard is good because whole space from phisical sdcard can be used dynamically by /data and /sdcard (putting 4gb movie on emulated sdcard make space of /data lowest by this 4gb etc.). And of course emulated sdcard can be used in windows (only in mtp mode).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I want to clarify something. With Jun kernel+repart v1.1 i had all the space of my ext-sd as internal sd, without any app for this. and of course moving an app to sd(the real ext-sd) was possible..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@ up

ah now i got it (maybe)

u mean ext sd was like real sd0 and u was able to move apps natively to sd0 which was real sdcard ... and it wasn't even needed to swap storages on NT-APP ?? I'm right ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
Yeap !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@ up

next kernel build will have again this method ! ... but then removing sdcard is only possible when the phone is off .. and connecting to the PC with mass storage mode should work ... and sdcard1 will be completely removed since nothing need it.

everything want to have sdcard0 ... and as we can see swapped storages sd1 to sd0 causes a lot of problems.

i.e. i was today not able to install an small app ... no matter if swapped or not ... it shows: that there is no more space free, but i've 13GB free space on sdcard. and 1,3GB free space on /data.

@ ALL

how it goes with the LCD with latest test kernel from folder "misc" ???

I need to know if it fixes a black screen issue for all or not ....

So far for only one user it's still not working .... ?!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I have no problem with normal kernel (i never had). My lcd is ws2401 and i have set it on 50mhz (i'm still dreaming for better 2d performance)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Thanks, but are u 100% sure ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
Yes i am 100% sure
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Never had any black screen with WS2401, only that brightness issue which doesnt really bother me.

And now some lock screen clock lag. Clock app and cLock app cache cleared.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] dimon130:
Clean install CM11 + Ace2Nutzer Kernel.

Language selection, and 5 seconds to reboot. If flash ChronoKernel phone works well. If you want to install on your working smartphone Ace2Nutzer kernel, hangs after loading the phone for 5 seconds and restart. It started after the test kernels with support for OTG.

Now only to flash CM11 Ace2Nutzer and Chrono kernel (v4.4.2-4.7) Maybe even someone such was?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
That's really strange .. sure that there is no CK Settings APK left ??

Anyway, why not simply posting last_kmsg after the reboot ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] aleste2:
For me on Rom/kernel 20161126 (dirty install) everything is OK, no black screens. WS2401 display, only basic tests (CWM, moving through menus, starting Real Racing 3...)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Can someone with cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip test if u can install this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect&hl=en

because for me it doesn't work ... but i'm able to install a similar app ....
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] teosound:
i have cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip with swap storage and i can install that app.

anyway, the last kernel in misc folder works much better for me than the 20161126. thanks man! :victory:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Ok good to know.

No black screen ?

Also more smooth ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] teosound:
No black screen, more smooth and better multitasking ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] slayer_007:
Bugs and Issues Kernel 20161126:

Device encryption doesn't work

Is there really a mistake ? :confused:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
I have the same issue as you.

But i back to my cm11 backup with chrono_kernel_r2.24.7

And everything back to normal.

No black screen etc. And phone works faster

I use this backup over 1 month without wipe.

And phone still work smoth
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Sounds good, but honestly between latest kernel and test kernel, the only difference is different LCD delays.

This change should only affect black screen issue ... nothing else ... so it's just an placebo effect :highfive:

Yes, it never worked :)

But that feature almost no one want it, since it decreases the performance.

Wait, don't mix things up !

He has reboot issue, while u've black screen issue on WS24 ...

That's NOT the same. :highfive:

Btw: next kernel build will Fix black screen issue on some very rare WS24 LCD Models.

The Fix is just stock LCD delays + stock LCD Freq of 50Mhz instead actually tuned @ 66Mhz.

But don't worry Guys, i'll add an Switch in NT-APP in order to tune it @ 66Mhz .. for those that don't have any issues running it @ that higher Freq. :cool:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
I can too
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
thanks for testing, now it works for me too, it was needed to make cwm backup, format everything, repartitioning, format and restore backup.. I guess /data partition was somehow broken.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
You've uploaded a new reparted at 19:38, has something changed?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yes, only changed sdcard0 size from 512KB to 1024KB .. because it caused cwm error when trying to create a backup.

anyway, the backup is OK even with errors, it'll just skip to make backup for /cache and it'll not generate md5sums ...

so better to update it. for one time it's not a problem.

[MENTION=4802494]Kurajmo[/MENTION]

i've compiled a few test kernels with different delays for the WS24 LCD.

can u pls test them all ?

only test if black screen issue is fixed for u.

It's still tuned @ 66Mhz !

u need to test 5 kernels with CWM:

WS2401_TEST

WS24_15

WS24_30

WS24_60

WS24_120

Download:

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

btw, if u'll have black screen, then simply reboot to "download mode"

and flash this ODIN Kernel:

http://d-h.st/EDQl

with this ODIN kernel it should work, because it's with stock freq of 50Mhz !!

after that, reboot to recovery, and continue to test the other kernels ... please test them all and report which worked and which still caused black screen issue ..

because it's very important to know which of them works on such sensitive LCD like u've :)

After that, i can make new kernel release, with better LCD Driver (both models) :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] farru1981:
Sorry for asking but, is this room able to play YouTube videos at 720p? I am trying and I can only see videos at 240p even with the original YouTube app.

Regards.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
The original app can't .. google changed something.

But the included app OG YT App - YES.

But NOT if u've updated the OG YT APP !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
Jesus i am tester?

I dont have a time for this.

But i test those kernels.

I give them 1 hour test with cm-11-20160910

Clean install with gaaps

Ok im back here lately.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] farru1981:
Thank you I don't know why but it wasn't working until I extracted the APK file from the ROM image an installed over it.

Now I have youtube videos with high quality.

Awesome work !!!!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
WS2401 test results

Issue still exist. When i Put on my charger and try ulnock phone, i tried without charger but still the same. I tried enter custom recovery issue appear. Same here when i tried enter download mode. Finally after some try i enter cwm recovery.

WS24120 test results When i try unlock phone without charger issue appear, i need try 2/3 times when lockscreen will be visible. With charger result is i need 2 try to see lockscreen No error when i try enter download mode. In second time i enter cwm recovery

WS2415 test results Without charger i need 2 try to see lockerscreen and unlock phone because black screen appear. With charger is the same. No error in download mode

I needed 2 try to see cwm recovery

WS2430 test results Without charger i need 2 try to see lockscreen and unlock phone. With charger is the same 2 try need to see lockscreen. No error in download mode 2 try needed to see cwm recovery

WS2460 test results Without charger i need 2 try to see lockscreen and unlock phone. With charger is the same 2 try need to see lockscreen. No error in download mode 2 try needed to see cwm recovery

All the time black screen appear.

This is strange.

Because on CM13 with crono kernel v4 Nothing like this dosent exist.

On cm11 with crono kernel too.

I don't know whats wrong with ace2nutzer kernel.

I don't tried back to 4.1.2 MG2 with odin.

Because my pc is broken now.

I only test on clean cm11 install.

But result is the same.

Issue still exist.

Thats all from me.

Sorry for my bad English sometimes but this isn't my native laungage.

And i don't speak everyday in this laungage
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
[MENTION=4802494]Kurajmo[/MENTION]

Thanks for testing !

And what about latest chrono kernel?

No black screen at all ?

(LPM, cwm, lockscreen)

What's is not working with your PC ?

If u send me an detailed description, how it happened and the used Hardware, and maybe better an video what happen when u try to switch it on, i can try to help u on fixing it ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
Well.

I see something.

When i use cm13.0-20161108-UNOFFICIAL-codina_SergeyL

Then any screen bug dosent appear.

I checked system info and see theres a chrono v4 something like that.

I see coinsedence. On cm11 i use chrono_kernel_r2.24.7

And on this kernel i dont have any screen issue.

In twrp recovery, when i unlock my phone, and other stuff. Phone work just perfect when i use him.

But i preffer cm11 not cm13. Cm13 is still laggy and unstable. Apps crash etc.

Issue back only on ace2nutzer kernel.

Dont know why.

Same is on stock 4.1.2 kernel.

This is strange. I buy this phone with old 2.3.6 GingerBread.

On this rom phone work normal.

When i upgrade android to 4.1.2 MG2 this issue come to live.

I tried downgrade several times. To original GB. But Nothings help.

I decide to use cm11 with chrono_kernel_r2.24.7

Phone work good without lag.

No screen issues.

But Battery life with greenify its only 4h when i use phone.

In my pc hard drive is dead now.

Unlucky i dont have a money to repleace old hdd.

My linux puppy die on this HDD.

1TB hdd dead. I never buy anything from Toshiba. They produce only ****.

Only year normal usuage and hdd is dead.

I must replace my micro SD card 16gb class 10 from Toshiba.

I dont trust this shietest company anymore.

I may record video with this issue. On cm11.

I upload this on YouTube and send you a link.

Gimme 2/3 days. I do this.

Now i need to focus on something else.

[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]

I've just reparted with the latest cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip (from stock partitions) but got an "error while restoring /storage/sdcard0/.android_secure" as in attached screenshot:

After that reboot was normal and system is ok but I've lost all apps that were moved to the SD card.

Trying to reinstall them I get many "unable to install... (error code -18)" both with and without swapping storage. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Same here. But I had memories reparted since some months ago. It was a zip customized by me and everything was working right till I've flashed 2016/11/22 ROM.

Is it just casualty and it's related to other stuff? I've always flashed Mardon's HDPI GApps from 2016/05/26.

EDIT: BTW, I take the chance to ask if anybody is having problems with both cameras on Hangouts.

I mean, the 2 cameras work perfectly with all apps, and they also work with Hangouts, but the receiver can't see my video images.

I have 2 ace 2 with 22/11 ROM with the same problem and with previous builds it didn't work properly too.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Krzychu95:
Hi guys.

I want to perform clean install of newest rom, kernel with repartitioning and I'm curious if I understood everything right.

Steps I will follow:

1. flash cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip;

2. reset to recovery;

3. format /system;

4. format /sdcard0 as exfat;

5. wipe data;

6. flash newest rom (it has kernel and novathorSettings included);

7. flash gapps;

8. reboot to system;

9. enable "swap storages" in NovaThorSettings;

10. reset;

Have I forgot about anything?

##EDIT##

so i did what I've said and I got bootloop on samsung logo after flashing repartion zip and reset. But not to worry, I flashed it with odin. Then I flashed temp recovery and in it repartition, then rom and gapps. It booted but then asked about password for phone encryption. Boohoo I'm flashing it with odin again and then I will restore my backup.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
After repartitioning Samsung Bootloop ??

U've to switch Phone OFF .. and then boot directly to Recovery ..

DO NOT BOOT TO THE SYSTEM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Krzychu95:
Yes, I did that but recovery was missing, it just kept resetting on the first screen.

Maybe that's because of the way I had my system installed? I had official JB flashed by odin, next temporary cwm, next Ace2Nutzer and it was working great.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Hmm maybe yes .. was u using latest kernel first ? so before u performed repart. ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Krzychu95:
I was using 20161117.

The recovery on Ace2 is done so weird. Before I had zte blade, lg p970, htc magic and htc dream and in all of them recovery was independent, by that I mean that you could destroy OS but recovery had always turned on.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
u can ignore this error.

As for apps on sd, i hope the apps wasn't stored on internal sd0 ... because if so, they are now all lost.

Because internal sd0 is now only 1MB.. the Space is moved to /data.

But if the Apps was on real sdcard, then they will come back with coming release ... later i'll upload it ....

(new kernel + NT-APP) - Moving apps to real sdcard work fine now by a native solution from the ROM.

I can suggest to do some preparations ... of course if u Guys didn't already do...

So it's better to repartition your Phone with current cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip ...

Because on new Kernel internal sdcard0 is completely removed ! - But it'll be accessible over CWM .. like always ... no swapped !

And for the system an inserted sdcard is required ... because it'll work like an internal sdcard0 !!

Don't forget that u only can remove the sdcard then when the Phone is completely OFF.

Swap Storage over NT-APP isn't needed anymore :o

Also Updated LCD Driver with the hope that it works fine now for every kind of LCD ... even worsest LCD should work fine now :o

And some more later ..... :cool:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] stefanoscheda:
Ok, I'll wait.

Btw, I don't understand why, in my current situation, some huge apps as Facebook install correctly while smaller apps as WeSecure Antivirus or Whatsapp dont. :confused:

About swapping storages, post #3 states both "Swap storages isn't needed anymore - but still recommended" (in Changes after this repartition) and "enable swap storages" (in the instruction steps). I guess swapping is now mandatory with just 1MB for sdcard0, or am I wrong?

TIA
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] achraf.:
/data is only 900 mb not 3gb also i cant access sd card 0 on file manager it says file note found

gt8160p
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
The current release need it. (Swap storages, especially when sd0 is only 1mb)

But coming kernel don't need swap storages..

Because i've hardcoded in ramdisk that extsd is now sd0 .. So i even removed it from nt app.. On new kernel real sd0 with 1mb is only mounted in recovery.

Thr reason is exactly this, that it was needed to swap storages back for some apps.

And some apps fails anyway to install because they want some free space on sd0 and 1.

I hope all app installs properly with new kernel. If not just report it with a logcat.

Then i'll try to fix it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Repeat repartition using latest kernel 26/11
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Krzychu95:
Ok, so rom version was my problem! I upgraded it to the newest and after that everything from reparting instruction worked perfectly. You should add having version 20161126 as a point in instruction.

But now I have different problem. USB file transfer isn't working. I've tried it on two different PCs, the first one with Arch simply doesn't see USB device, the other one with windows 10 says it couldn't recognize device. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] achraf.:
still the even after using latest kernel 26/11
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Krzychu95:
Try flashing zip with 26/11 ROM, not only kernel, then reboot to system, power off, nand backup, flash partiotioning zip and restore backup. I did that and it worked nicely.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
this is not correct, compare it with how-to from post #3 .. after repart, u need immediately to power off the phone, and then format system, sd0, and wipe data .. and then u can restore a cwm backup or simply install new rom.

Of course it's possible that it can work anyway with different method, i.e. like u say .. this is only possible if the old previous partition layout is almost very similar with the new one ... then it'll work .. (even without to format anything)

But this is very very dirty solution and absolutely NOT recommended to do so.

This is logical to have latest ROM before starting such processes ... such new repart-script are always produced + tested by myself with the latest ROM + kernel. So Nobody knows or can say if it works as well with older ROM or kernel.

Try to configure it .... but usually it should work enabling USB Mass Storage. (settings --> storage --> PC connection)

Strange ... have u an sdcard inserted at all ?? (and formatted as vfat or exfat?) can u post maybe the output of "df" typing this on term. emulator ??

Anyway try with 2016/12/04 kernel + NT-APP V2.0
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
New Kernel + NovaThor App is Up !!

Changelog:

20161204:

MCDE: LCD's: Stock Freq by default, adjusted all delays - reduces or fixes black screen issue

Natively set ext-sdcard as system sdcard0, no need to swap storages

Moving Apps directly to the real sdcard is now possible without 3rd-party apps (settings --> apps ---> select app, move to sdcard)

only one sdcard visible (real one), but both on recovery

faster rebooting & shutdown

WARNING: This kernel will not mount internal sdcard0, also it requires cwm_cm11_partitions_layout, so move first all your files from sdcard0 to real sdcard before u flash this kernel !

Set serialno to 0123456789ABCDEF

NovaThor Settings v2.0

Removed "Swap Storage" & "Permanent Charging"

Screen: LCD: Added switch "Tuned Freq" - disabled by default, so it uses Stock Freq - kernel default

Notes:

LCD Config:

WS2401: Stock: 49,92Mhz, Tuned: 66,56 Mhz

S6D27A1: Stock: 30,72 Mhz, Tuned: 39,93 Mhz

Flash & enjoy it ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Out of curiosity, what effect does this have to our devices?

Wouldn't this make battery consumption on ws2401 way much higher compared to s6d? Or are the battery saving options also adjusted to that frequency?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Don't know exactly .. maybe some apps need it.

Usually every ace2 has own serialno stored in cmdline in bootloader.

But since we're using custom cmdline, the original serialno is missing. (only this)

It's only important that there is a number at all.

Also it's maybe possible to use own serialno by passing: ro.serialno=XXXXXX to build.prop ...

but probably it serves nothing, only cosmetics :)

There isn't such a config like u think.

Both LCD's are very different ....

Try i.e. to use stock Freq from S6D of 30Mhz on WS24 ... ... u'll see that the Runtime will be very slow ... while on S6D the same Freq work normal ... (normal speed)

The Freq increase on WS is 33,33% (when tuned) and on S6D it's just 29,98% (if tuned) ... so there is no significant difference.

I've S6D and my mother has WS ... and personally i like more the WS .. because it has much better image quality ... (better colors and contrast) maybe one day i can try to make s6d as good like WS .. but if it's just hardware related, then we can forget.

Power consumption increase on both LCD's is almost same (when tuned) .. i don't remember exactly but it's on both around max. +10mA which correspond on IDLE around +10% power consumption ....

Because IDLE is around 100mA (100%) (display on) .. and 10mA is = 10%.

But when the Phone is under high load .. the total battery draining is around 300 - 500mA .... but still only around +10mA more draining from the tuned LCD .. so here it's only 2 - max. 4% ... which is nearly not noticeable .... that's why it was all the time tuned by default :cowboy:

But because of very rare Black screen issues on both LCD's ... i've set it now to the default Freq's ... in order to avoid Black screen issue !

So [MENTION=4802494]Kurajmo[/MENTION] ... if u want to give the last try ... .. it should work now for u ... (reverted back to Stock Freq) ;)

New kernel+NovaThor app

Hello,guys!

How to install the new kernel and Nova Thor this app to be added to the cwm_cm11_partitions_layout.zip?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] aleste2:
I understand that for the new kernel version (20161204) repartition and external SD is mandatory? If so, please state it clearly is post #1 and update dirty/clean instalation procedure (when possible), it can lead to errors if some people is not following the full thead.

Thank you.
