u don't need to take care for Region CSC Code .. This is not important. It's more important to have latest Baseband installed, since latest CM11 builds comes with tee-folder from latest Stock ROm's .. so it's better to update Baseband:

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

But i can't say if it'll fix your issue at all ... anyway AFAIK when it's orange it means that the system can't find the location, so maybe u've no internet connection or location service is disabled. To avoid to have it orange make sure location service is at least @ "powersave mode"
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
I'm using XXNA1 baseband with no issue at all with my provider.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
Ha ha well, idk, there must be a difference in performance, but i when i am using facebook/playing game/playing music in background and while scrolling facebook, there comes some lag, and it randomly starts freezing then works again, i enable performance profile to be on max at 1Ghz, and maybe it lags just a little bit less, but phone back heats sooo much.

BTW:

Well, speed test is just to show how good ace 2 is compared to latest flagship :D specs obviously differs. The thing is i am getting oneplus 3 on monday, just because i really want latest android with all that kind of features it has and overall nougat experience. Ace 2 lags in games and some big apps like facebook. Also it has very small space in storage, i am using repart zip which leaves only 1mb in sd card0, but when i try to install app, it says not enough free storage left in device, so i must always turn off swapping storage in NT app, reboot device, install apps and then revert back. Also youtube does not give max resolution in kitkat, must use old youtube app which does not let me play videos in background also no multitasking, small screen, a lot of dents on my ace 2 and etc etc, but this phone is still good for some light games, and browsing. So yeah, I compared that oneplus 3 is probably the best deal that might ever happen. So I went for it. So I will show you guys what speed difference is :D maybe you are not missing too much :) Galaxy ace 2 was my really first android smartphone ever, and i had no knowledge on how to choose device that would be really good, but i have no regrets about my choice, ace 2 is really good phone, especially this "feature" to root and flash custom rom, which other smartphones lacked, also even current latest flagships cannot be rooted/custom rommed like galaxy s7. So OnePlus and nexus/pixel are the only choices to continue. To be honest, smartphone without updates/no ability to update means RIP. Ace2Nutzer did an AMAZING job with CM11 :) no other developer would support device like this for that long. I expect you keeping with ace 2 for a long time just because of your xda name :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
That's normal ... higher cpu freq means more heat and more current flow from the battery ... which also heats more up. So there is 2 things that heats up: CPU and battery itself. And of course only when it's under high load.

All normal :)

Yeah .. thats why i suggest latest reparted script .. it left 1GB on sdcard0 ... then no problem.

and when /data is full, just move apps to real sdcard, done ;)

Honestly i like more the old OG YT app .. because i can download audio as mp3 with a single tap ... and i can hear i.e. an concert video clip with screen OFF .. and so it saves battery ... all this is not possible with original YT App.

.

And now imagine ace2 is also my first android Phone :)

Before that phone, i was using this:

Old LG Phone with integrated DVB-T Receiver .. with Touch Screen :D

Thanks ! I'm glad to read it :)

Honestly i can't say how long i'll use this phone. For sure there is something better than Ace2 .. thats clear .... but for my usage this phone is still Good :) :good:

BTW: So far new CM11 Build is done ... everything works fine, applied a lot of security patches, cm sources update, reworked binary code optimizations and fixed ART, exfat and maybe some other broken Code gets fixed now .. but unfortunately Camera is broken .. due to the applied "frameworks/av security patches" .... maybe [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] u can test coming codina build ?? I've reverted one commit .... actually it's compiling and probably it's online in 30 - 60 minutes ... unless something will go wrong with Server or Network connection.

There u only need to test Camera on a clean installation with format /system ... because on a dirty installation without to format /system the camera strangely works normal :eek:

btw2: forgot to mention, Build Server is Up again ! So we can build in full speed again :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Perhaps for the very same reason for Spirit FM not locking up when dirty installing the mid October ROMs.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
No i don't think ... but honestly i even don't know anymore what was the fix for spiritFM .. do u know maybe ??

Maybe we need to search the thread ... for sure i've posted what was the problem ... hmm.

Edit: but anyway i'm sure it has nothing to do with the camera now :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Wrong build.prop settings.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Camera app is completely missing in latest test ROM. The apk extracted from latest full build doesn't install even after authorizing unknown sources. Clean install.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] OGMods team made OGYoutube which uses latest youtube version, and it has all the features in that app from youtube version in galaxy ace 2 :) I've been using OGMods youtube when i was in lollipop/marshmallow rom because 480p resolution worked well, but seems like in kitkat it does not work :/. Also i that app you can download video/mp3 play music in background, when screen off and etc.

BTW: Which repart zip you suggest me to use to have 1GB in sdcard0? maybe a link? and how to flash it? do i need wipe data and etc? Thanks! :good:

BTW2: Thats a pretty neat LG phone haha :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
No, it's there in /system/app/Camera2.apk

u don't see it in apps menu, because it's completely broken and can't be installed.

I'll rebuild without latest commits, so lets see if it'll work then.

Is in around 1 hour online :)

if it works well on cm11, then can u provide a link to the apk ? then i can include in the releases, thanks.

check post #3 for latest repartv1.2 .. .. wipe data not needed.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
http://ogmods.net/home/OGYouTube

Here is OGYouTube app, but the thing is that only up to 360p resolution is available on kitkat rom. Not sure why google capped resolution in kitkat. But you can try to install this app and see how this works out. :good:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] lace_hvc:
Does OGYouTube v2.1 work for you? I have been using OGYouTube v2.0 for ~1 year, but the newest version doesn't work for me.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Camera app icon not showing up even in 18:51 build.

Thank you
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Jan294:
The Ace 2 is a nice small smartphone. I specially loved the size. And ace2nutzer did/does a great job, most phones don't get updates for such a long time. But for me (and also my wife) it was the same like some people here already told: freezes, lags, reboots... Navigating small distances was no problem, but long distances was nearly impossible. And reboots I got mostly when I needed the phone urgent at work. So I bought a Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro and I'm absolutely happy with it. Now I know how many things are possible and what is the real meaning of "smooth and fluently". ;) I still miss the size of the Ace 2 but nothing else.

Thank you ace2nutzer for your work!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
yep, just installed that v2.1 version, though it is root version, but it still required me to install additional app to make it working, after installation - successfuly opened app and works well. Also seems like resolution is now not pixelated anymore. 360p looks bad, but looks just as in browser version of youtube. Though old youtube had better quality videos.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
It should work ... at least [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] tested this already ... or not ?

I also deleted spirit fm completely ... and installed manually .. and worked right.

Other than that, your post is almost useless, no steps on how to reproduce and no logcat.

Same for u and others: no steps on how to reproduce and no last_kmsg after an random reboot.

How i should fix bugs ?? I'm not God.

I only can say, for me it works perfectly fast and smooth and even no one Force Close App..

No freezes, no reboot ... even NOT after 4 weeks of constantly running system ... (Phone always ON)

Maybe u Guys think, i don't have much apps installed... but here below u can see a few Screenshots from my Phone:

(attached)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] aleste2:
Thank you for the tip, unistalled Spirit FM, installed again and works without problems.

P.D. I got no FC so I thought that logcat was not necesary, sorry.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Jan294:
I don't think it is a problem of bugs. Navigation needs RAM, within one city less, within a hole country more. Also Facebook (I don't use but that was the main problem of my wife). Second: some big apps and even the 2GB data was full (I'm not a friend of shifting stuff to SD). I'm not complaining, only explaining and say "goodbye". ;) I believe that ROM and kernel is fully optimized to your phone, maybe yours is more stable than others, due to tolerances in specifications not every phone with the same hardware is the same. Anyhow, you do a good job and your ROM is much much better than stock, that is the main thing I wanted to tell! Let me know if you develop kernel for my new mobile. :D

-edit-

I even paid for your work so you should know I'm more satisfied than angry! ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sharkykounet:
Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

For some weird reasons, a dirty install didn't work, still boot on previous ROM.

Anyway, I perform a full wipe. The rom seems great :D Very smooth and fast.

I still got my 3Gb partition.

Thanks for you work.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Well, as i said some posts ago, a few latest builds (rom + kernel) are a bit screwed up (except latest kernel) ... caused by wrong binary code optimizations, they was causing to produce some buggy machine code)

Actually i'm using now latest kernel + latest 20/11 rom and i've to say it works now even faster.

The only bug i've found is that camera is now completely broken after i've updated cm sources.

So when we'll fix camera, then i can uplaod new ROM with better performance ... and who knows maybe freezes for some of u is fixed :)

Yeah but not that much ... We've 768MB RAM and from that sum are 631MB addressable to userspace.

Just to mention: TomTom One only has 32MB RAM and my parents was able to navigate from DE to IT (2000KM)

without problems.

Ok, can i ask if there was some apps installed that forces some apps to stay away from RAM ??

(such as task killer, greenefy etc...)

Ok that's of course bad, i'm not sure but maybe it's possible to hack it a bit with sdcard ...

thinking about that ace2 can support even a 32GB sdcard :D But so far i didn'z ran into out of space ...

So if really needed, maybe one day i can do something special for this.

Ok thank u ... it was a good time for sure, i hope u can continue to support me, telling your friends about ace2 device etc ... :)

Yes, that's right ! - Every hardware has different Chip quality.

It's already long time ago that we was done with calibrating CPU and GPU Voltages in order to have it stable for all phones ... And for very long time it was 100% stable for everybody ... so that's why i was wondering that some guys just say i've freezes, don't want to collaborate, and just changing a phone ... and don't give a chance to me to fix it. Also u're right, about my phone, it works perfectly, and in fact i only can fix bugs i face on my device.

For other non-visible bugs or from other phones, i need at least some logs.

:D :good: Good Idea ! For sure i'll do it, actually i'm thinking about what is the best way to keep ace2nutzer community informed about new kernels for new devices .. i'm not that "junk-guy" that i'm posting what i'm actually doing on social media like twitter, instagram and so on...

Maybe some of u can give some tips ? A lot of users that already left ace2 and buy another phone was telling to me as PM to develop kernel for blabla bla new device ... but already it was needed to delete XDA messages .. approx 2 - 3 times .. as i had reached the max of allowed messages of 2000 PM's.

Ah now i remember again ! :angel: :good: Thanks again for the Donation :o

I think it's normal .. it just boot the rom u did the backup ... but later u can install latest rom ... while keeping the old data + the new partition table. u probably restored the full backup instead only "data".

But nevermind ! If it works well now ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Not even doubting this. I'm using 130 apps with no issues, and it's stable (no reboots). True it lags when multitask heavily (maps and music, especially), but it's understandable due to the RAM size. :good::good:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I strongly believe that everything bigger than 15% on zram (95mb) is a big fail.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
Haha :D you are probably the only one of kind in xda community, which develops ROM alone and makes updates almost daily and very active in responding/solving problems like seariously. Thats why people wants you to go develop their device :D (i have oneplus 3 in my hands now, ace2nutzer plz develop for my phone :] ) lel. Actually difference between apps oppening in these phones are like 1 second or so, but how apps runs fluid and lag free is miles difference between ace 2. I even underclocked cpu about 20-30% on my oneplus 3 and it still runs everything at max with no problems. And battery is insane. Got 5:30 hours of SoT and still 16% left. Been gaming hardly, watching videos, on adaptive brightness.

if only our ace 2 had more ram, atleast 1 gb :/ but still a perfect phone. Had 4 years and i will still keep using it as a secondary phone. But the thing is, no problems with ace 2, had no hardware issues, has a lof of dents actually. And after buying it, i had screen bleeding very noticable in dark images in the upper screen. Ace2nutzer deserves this name :D real developer and smart, finds a lot of ways how he can fix issues!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Nope, but if it's best for u then use it.

I general if u don't run big apps + much multitasking then u can completely disable zram... will make phone faster + more battery runtime.

Otherwise a good choice is 200 - 250MB which fits the default of 210MB.

Yeah thats right, but [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] was and still is the only one that helped me a lot ... at the beginning i needed al lot of help with ROM#kernel, but now only rarely. i learned a lot from him. .. i'm optimizing things really every day .. u can see this on github .. theoretically i can upload every day new kernel + rom .. but that's too hard .. too much time consuming ... also it'll become annoying for users to flash every day his phone lol.

Theoretically i can make kernel for every android device where there are kernel sources available and where it's possible at all to flash a custom kernel on the device.

Not so bad :)

Compare it with coming update (in around 2 hours online) and OC CPU @ 1200 and GPU @ 700Mhz.

Yes RAM is the biggest problem on ace2.

as for screen: is it WS2401 ?? if so, i know this issue ... u can try to open the phone very carefully and tightening all screws .. maybe better then ... with S6D there is no such a problem.

Thanks :o
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] IAmLucky:
Yes i will checkatest update. Btw my ace 2 lcd type is ws2401
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] You finally sorted out the camera app issue, didn't you? :victory:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Coming from other ROMs and kernels that usually have recovery included, i didn't pay too much attention to flashing the recovery right after the kernel, since i was on a current version of cwm already. Although having downloaded the recovery to my device, i first rebootet to test the new ROM before flashing latest kernel and ROM.

Flashing the "rescue"-kernel with heimdall did the job, but seeking through the forum, it seems to me, that this happens to quite a number of users that use this rom+kernel for the first time. Maybe it helps putting a bit of emphasis on this in the 1st post - when i read about optimizing and repartitioning in post 2 and 3 i skipped most of it and therefore overlooked the important hints ... ;)

Anyway thanks a lot for keeping the ace2 alive and up to date with a great ROM and kernel. Everything runs nice and fast and with an absolutely acceptable power consumption.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
With latest ROM, after a dirty flash, everything is alright for the first startup, but if i reboot my phone the mobile network is no longer detected immediately after subsequent startups. I need to manually search for carriers and select my carrier. I'll try with a clean install. Flashing tee folder from an older ROM doesn't solve the problem.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Strange ... this doesn't happen for me. Baseband + IMEI is OK ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Yes, they are ok.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] [-GuTi-]:
Don't have problem with network, but i have another one

After call is ending, is still shows on status bar, need to reboot phone

Dirty install
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
With a clean install mobile network is no longer a trouble. Time for a new clean install (at least for me).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yes this is due of switched java Compiler from openjdk to oracle.

U can try first to wipe apps cache under:

Settings, storage, and tap on "cached data" and confirm wipe with OK. Then reboot.

If this will not fix issues, a clean install is required. dont forget to wipe also both sdcards !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Clean install done. Everything is fine now.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] atakan33:
I think performance governor must be in your kernel.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Nope, u only need to set min cpu freq same as max cpu freq, then u've same result like performance governor :)

btw: performance seems to be better now on latest ROM ... is it only me ? placebo effect ?? Or u guys can confirm better performance ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I also think it's smoother and performance is a bit better.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kupon:
Hello for all. I also have problem witn mobile internet with latest rom or kernel, i do not know what going on. Installing full clean.Backup is lose.If i great new point - phone is reboot forever. Help me understand this problem,please!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
u need to do a clean install.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kupon:
thank for answer. but i say that i did full wipe clear install,but network mobile not work,if great new poin-reboot forever. this moment break my mind.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
1. i hope u didn't restore cwm backup after wipe data ... :)

2. also i hope u didn't format /modemfs :)

Stuck at SAMSUNG logo ?? - or at CM Logo ???

Recovery works ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fercho_18:
Hi, I have installed this rom following the guide that you posted yesterday and everything is working so fast, however recovery does not work, it stucks in Samsung screen and after a few seconds, it reboots. What should I do?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] dixee:
CM11 version 20161122 (dirty install) so far is better and faster than 20161018, that the last weeks ago rom got some lag and some app like whatsapp getting FC, after first time clean install 20161018 version.

i checked storage info from link2sd menu, i see that cache partition (/cache) become N/A, is that normal? are your cm11 rom deleted cache partition?

because i remembered the last i use repartition zip from chrono (and CM11 chrono) cache partition still exist
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kupon:
1.no is not.backup is lose.

2.no.modem is good MG2 and is here

You do not understand me on 100%.All works.Do not work only mobile internet(3g,H,E).But is good if i installing kernel 04052016 experemental.on several latest kernels internet do not work.Thank you.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
post content of "df" and "mount" typing this on term. emulator ..

not deleted, but not mounted since the OS don't need it. We're using dalvik-cache on /data instead of /cache.

But it's mounted on cwm .. just to avoid errors ... but even cwm doesn't need it.

Ok, so 04052016 is the

newest

kernel where it's working for u ?? - I need this info and also would be better to post last_kmsg + kmsg.

So try to connect with 3G .. u see it doesn't work, catch kmsg or dmesg, then reboot the phone, and catch last_kmsg and post both logs here.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
Last question.

Is there a way to complete remove root from this cm11?

I want try check Pokemon GO on this Rom Again.

But can't find those files in /system directory.

/system/xbin/su

/system/xbin/daemonsu

/system/xbin/supolicy

/system/lib(64)

/system/bin/install-recovery.sh

I can't find those files.

Is there a way to complete unroot cm11?

WysÅ‚ane z mojego GT-I8160 przy uÅ¼yciu Tapatalka
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fercho_18:
Here are you are
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
just download latest FULL ROM, unpack it on your PC ... and delete:

/system/xbin/su

then repack again like original as .zip and install it.

After that run any root checker app from store .. just too check if it's really unrooted.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kandirali77:
I had the same problem but luckily I have made a backup in the recovery mode and next reboot was fine. It might be just the luck too. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Thanks! - It seems that u're on stock samsung partition table.

As i can see /recovery + /ramdisk is completely missing.

Just wait for a Solution, i'm working on it. ;)

edit: [MENTION=4835803]fercho_18[/MENTION]

did u ever repartitioned your Phone ??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] dixee:
ok i see that. but it's doesn't affect performance right?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
The less partitions are mounted, the better.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fercho_18:
No, I have never do it. In addition, when I return to stock rom I always use a 3 parts firmware
