I have a 3 part JB ROM that I used to flash my i8160 (not P version) several years ago.

I am not able to post outside links, as my post count is too low, but the first result when searching for I8160XXMB4.zip on Startpage.com is a google docs link to what looks to be the correct file.

Thank you for your prompt & helpful reply! Looking forward to the re-uploads.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sidebandit:
Thanks for that :) it does look like the right one.

You can get ace 2 2nd hand real cheap here starting around £25 from amazon.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Yønn:
I made my tests with GPS status only so I guess it is not related to large resources consumption.

I can try to deactivate some apps to see if it works better...

No worries. I was just asking in case.

I was just wondering, there is a huge gap between ace2 and S8. Thus it is the not same kind of users.

Anyway, I am very happy to get my ace 2 living more than 5 years (unexpected). Thank again for your work.

hi ace2nutzer , i exchange ic emmc with emmc kmvtu now my ace 2 have rom 16 gb more large internal memory...i want to use your custom rom , where i started first?should i partition with cwm_cm11_partitions but which one sdcard only or normal?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Follow first page .. start from scratch by flashing first stock ROM 3-parted ..

And yes here on cm11 sdcard_only is still the best option.

But u really changed your flash chip ?!

If so, then it's now bigger?

If so, then u need to adapt the reparted.sh script ... otherwise it'll still have 4GB in total.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sakit21:
I do not know for sure but the principle is the same as the one in youtube this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJR6sz5GpYU ,later I ask the technicalities:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yes of course, if it works as well .. it's just resizing data partition to the max possible.

(by resizing and shrink other partitions)

Hey [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]! I have returned with a VERY IMPRESSIVE BUG in your A2N Kernel Control App!

But before I say it to everyone, I must report bug to OP...

It's a bug with license checker. By using that bug I can use the app without buying it.

What I do are:

1. Download your app in abStore way (Not in Play Store)

2. Use the bug to patch the app

3. Use the app as normal.

Nice performance with latest pack but ogyoutube is missing. Is there any reason for this ? For me its not a problem because I have a backup for it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Time4T:
Wishing a Merry Xmas to you ace2nutzer, and to everyone else here.

BTW, I have reverted to 20171031, so please do not feel any need to rush with a fix for the non-functioning wireless tethering on latest release.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I removed it, because it didn't work anymore. Probably that version was too old and it isn't supported anymore.

Or is it still working for u ? :D

Now i've installed latest official YT App, but it's kinda slow and very annoying to see all the ads.

OG YouTube was really great ... so R.I.P. if doesn't work anymore !

Yes, i've fixed it, but i didn't had the time to re-upload new builds.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
OGYoutube itseems to working fine for me !

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Ok [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION], I am downloading and will install it soon!

Edit: Installed without any problem.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Yønn:
Happy new year!

I installed latest Kernel and ROM.

The only issues I am facing are when receiving calls:

- vibrate is not working at all

- phone is ringing just once

Anybody having the same problem?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sharkykounet:
Nope. No issue when incoming calls.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Happy new Year !

Vibration works here on incalls.

And for the single ringing: U've to switch to another ringtone which has a loop, e.g. i use "bently dubs" that comes with a loop.

I've checked the settings and there's no config option wether u can decide single ringing or in a loop.

Don't know if it's normal or it's just CM Bug. For sure i didn't change anything there.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Why remove soft reboot?? I often do soft reboot by Xposed apk without breaking Wifi or anything.

I am not seeing OGYoutube after this update... Maybe because I use Titanium Backup to move dalvik cache of system apps to /system partition, so I run out of space (only 1MB left), and after install I have 8KB of free space :D

I will try to format /system for updating...

For users that having problems with OGYoutube, I can confirm that background playing is working, but downloading is not available. You can workaround it by using the official Youtube app (you can also patch the app for background playing), or using manual method (using "http://ssyoutube.com");)

And about the bug of A2N Kernel Control App, because [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] not uploaded the fixed APK on Play Store (after 3 weeks or longer) so I will not talk about it until the bug is fixed and 100% cannot be used. ;)

And also, Happy New Year!:good:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Because it breaks wifi.

Native soft-reboot support is still there .. so u can still use soft-reboot with xposed or 3rd-party apps.

Only removed from Reboot-dialog, nothing more:

https://github.com/ace2nutzer/andro...mmit/4ee0df409fcfa57e4e375ad97b0a8fedc8dd3bbf

Yes.

Yeah, i'm quite busy. I'll release new APK with the next kernel release. (then license is fixed)

Also i've to mention it's not my fault, but it's a bug in the google lib itself ;)

Anyway, u can expect some great improvements on next kernel:

Higher performance

Better Battery Lifetime

Higher Stabiltiy

CPU OC - stability fix*

More clean kernel base

100% reworked and more debloated kernel config

*= more CPU OC is now possible, e.g. my maximum stable CPU Freq was for years: 1150Mhz on the ace 2 ... But now i'm able to use 1200Mhz stable!. So e.g. if your max. stable freq was 1250Mhz, then on next build u'll be able to use 1300Mhz STABLE :highfive:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Time4T:
A bit late, but wishing you Einen Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

Thanks for the fixed wifi tethering. All seems to be working well, including GPS.

OGYouTube is still working, minus download feature.

A while back the option for enabling headphone Charge Pump in audio was removed. I am guessing this was part of removing excess features. I actually found enabling Charge Pump to give a small improvement in sound quality, when using decent earphones. Of course, this is a minor issue/request.

Thank you for your continued support of our old but still useful Ace 2's.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Thanks !

Charge pump is enabled by default.

Headset ChargePump:

Power Supply Mode:
[ ][0] VddHs (Fixed 1.8V)(Class AB)

[*][1] SmpsVcphs (Dynamic, LP)(Class G)

Class G is same as A/B but G is more efficient, means it saves battery.

See here:

http://www.audioholics.com/audio-amplifier/amplifier-classes
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Time4T:
Thanks for the clarification. I had a feeling that you might have enabled Dynamic Class G by default. Probably, any difference in headphone sound quality is more a variable side-effect ...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Yeah, yesterday the kernel soft reboot my phone by itself, and wifi breaked (stuck at turning on wifi)

I think that your kernel is still not strong enough to hold too much work (I was running ADM to download file, downloading music, etc. And running 3 - 4 apps at a time, the phone froze and soft reboot itself).

Now 1250Mhz is my usual stable speed on my phone... Using 1300Mhz just reboot my phone. I hope that after that update I can run upto 1300Mhz :))

I forgot to talk about fresh install after your last update: Not much improvement about CPU GPU speed, but battery life is much more improved. ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
btw, pls check my previous post... i was too fast, later i'd edited. Now it contains correct information about this.

And yes u're right, Charge Pump (Class G) gives even slightly better Sound due to a bit higher Power on high level output gain. :)

So there's really no reason to disable it, that's why i've removed it from the App. ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Is there any working theme for our phone? Because I am really bored with CM11 Holo default theme and I want to switch to another one.

But after I installed a theme, it uninstalled itself and "Android System" notify that "Theme failed to install"

Any solution?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
A random reboot found after clean (remove tweaks) in my main phone and reinstall ROM, after that systemui is broken.

But the kmsg is really trashed by the ABB-charger :(

And I found this problem in the kmsg: Why is the machine name is SAISUNG CODINA?? But in the dmesg show SAMSUNG CODINA :laugh:

I can't upload the file now, because the XDA app is having some strange errors.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Time4T:
Thanks. Yes, it is considered good practice to eliminate unnecessary UI options :)

Also, it is good to hear that I've probably not imagined a small difference in audio quality ... one can come across many 'interesting' exchanges on audio forums regarding whether perceived differences in sound fidelity are real or imagined ...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Four apps FC after my fresh install of my second phone. (I installed them by Play Store)

These are logcat and dmesg for debugging.

I can make sure that is not my problem (because I do not use OC,OV,UC,UV, Xposed and also PLLDDR OC too on my test phone)

But in "BigWin" app, the push notification still works :confused:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Here also uploaded APK, logcat and dmesg for Cyanogenmod Theme app (Because it FCs)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] jupiez:
rom 20171031 & the latest kernel

i think the big problem for me when the battery get empty until 0% then the phone is off (shut down),

how i can recharging if the phone can't booting coz the battery get empty 0%

^_^
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
U only need to plug the cable.

It'll boot to lpm (offline charging).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] jupiez:
when i plug the cable, the phone automatic booting (not offline charging) like iphone

or i think the (ROM & kernel) doesn't have offline charging
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
That's charger issue, use another one.

This doesn't happen with original ac charger and charging over usb from pc.

Workaround:

Once cm logo appears disconnect and reconnect the cable... Otherwise it'll not charge with those non-original chargers.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] jupiez:
thx for the solution bro coz i use iphone 4s charger,

soon i try to finding the original charger (samsungAce2) :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION], it seems like after this update I have many problems with Android.

And now I can't use VPN by TUN - why? Because I saw that the VPN app said that the TUN module cannot be accessed.

And logs are here:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
TUN Module is disabled in kernel.

On next Release it's available built-in or as Module.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] leonardalps:
please help guys!!! i installed this rom on my phone and i can't get mobile data to work. can anyone please tell how to fix that?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@ up

Check IMEI & Baseband if it's showing correct output.

btw what was your installations procedure or what rom was installed before ?

Of course Camera works fine :cowboy:

I just remember that it's mandatory for the camera to have enough free space on sdcard0.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] leonardalps:
The IMEI shows up but the baseband version shows 'xxxx'.

i was on an older version of the rom. this was my installation procedure:

1. wipe data.

2. install the rom.

3. install gapps.

4. install the kernel.

5.reboot.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Maybe your MODEMFS is corrupted. You can flash MODEMFS by flashing one part stock ROM or flash 3-part stock ROM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] leonardalps:
finally i got it to work. I just had to flash the modems in misc fodder.:D

thanks!!!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
That was right :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] zarebcn:
Hello, with the latest kernel and latest Roms (20171005-20171230) im randomly suffering the SVA kernel wakelock that makes my phone to not enter in deep sleep and drains my battery very fast. :(

Why and what causes it? and how i can fix it?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Probably caused by OGYouTube .. just make sure it's properly closed before u turn off the screen.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] zarebcn:
Thank you for the answer but is not OGYoutube because i uninstall it every time i flash a ROM.

Im suspecting of Spirit Free radio because im using it the last days but im trying to reproduce the bug using the app without success. As i said it happens randomly but when happens if you dont notice it and reboot the phone, then the battery drains fast as ****.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
FM Radio shouldn't be the problem ... because it uses SIA (audio) Wakelock.

SVA is used for video wakelocks.

Lets see how it goes with the coming ROM/Kernel Release ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:

Usually it was always 8 - 12MB/s :highfive:

!!! ENJOY !!! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
I am in LineageOS 15.1 for now, so I can't test your new ROM, Kernel and A2N Control App.

Anyway, it may be a great update for our phone!

I will go back to your ROM when I am free.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
:good: Good update.

It's been a long time since I last updated this ROM.

Is there a way to modify profile's CPU and GPU frequencies permanently? I used to do it at ramdisk folder, but there's nothing inside, I can't find that option.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
ramdisk/perf.profiles.rc.

If u don't know how to do it, then ask or tell me what u want to change and i will show u.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] AkosPaha:
[MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] Does A2N kernel control only support ace 2 or support other phones?

Example: Ace 4?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Thanks, I've made these changes lots of times. The problem is Ramdisk folder is empty. Now I remember it's not the first time I find it empty after an update.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
A2N Kernel Control only controls A2N Kernel.

So if we want support for other Phone like Ace 4 then it's needed to develop kernel for Ace 4 and then develop/adapt A2N Kernel Control for Ace 4 , which will be a new app (same name but for other device).

In short: it's not possible to use the same A2N Kernel Control APK for a different Phone ... even not if there's A2N Kernel available !

Both things: Kernel + App are always for just one Device ... except here on Ace 2 that GT-I8160, GT-I8160P, GT-I8160L are using the same kernel and app because they are nearly same devices.

But for Ace 3, Ace 4 and so on, it's needed to develop almost everything from scratch.

So one day maybe i'll release kernel + app also for the newer Galaxy Ace Series.

Actually i'm working on S8, but sometimes i'm still working on Ace 2 here.

If it's empty then your partitions table might be incorrect or corrupt.

Do cwm backup, flash the latest reparted.zip from my FTP, reboot to recovery, format everything and restore the backup. Finally flash latest A2N Kernel, this will format p17 and copy the needed files. (already in the kernel installer of course).

btw: without working /ramdisk u even can't use PLLDDR OC !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I've always used other reparted zip different from yours, but I was able to use this feature with no problem. I must say the last update was from February 2017, or so.

Anyway, I'm reparting memories right now. I'll tell in a while how is going on.

---------- Post added at 05:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

I've flashed my old reparted zip again and now it's working. :D :good: Weird this problem, since I'm barely using this phone, just occasionally for music and WiFi hotspot.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I've installed YouTube and Chrome apks taken from other phone of mine with 2014 KitKat and GAPPS versions.

They both fit quite well in this phone, as they are lighter versions of 3-4 years ago. But they look good, run fast and not very old fashioned.

If any one is interested, here are the files. Just don't forget never updating them or you'll get a pair of new, slow and heavy apps.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1q37sOK4yY_4KkALZmy-CknkSDm1ObDur
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Give ne the permission, please. I can't open your Google Drive.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Permission given. :svetius:

For chrome app, you need copying lib file to /lib proper folder.

If someone needs any other "old & light" apk from 2014 stock GAPPS, just comment and I can upload it.

EDIT: I've installed Google app basically for using Google voice typing, but just occupying 25 Mb. Also QuickOffice for documents and PDF's with the ⅓ part of Mb than Polaris Office, for example.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Returned to this ROM because very new + good update.

Performance test: Very good :)

Battery life: Unknown :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Hey, I've heard about I/O logs in Android. It writes I/O information to the logs for debugging reasons. But it uses a little CPU cycles and also a little battery. Anyway to disable it? As it is not needed for basic users that only use the phone and not testing it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Never seen this in logs ... So probably it's already disabled ?

There's only kmsg and logcat.

kmsg: kernel messages incl. debugging stuff but on this kernel it's very silently ... a lot of spamming is fixed. (U can't disable).

Logcat: android logger, kernel + rom messages, but more for rom. A bit spammed if u've a lot of apps installed.

U can disable it completely in A2N Kernel Control App on debug menu in order to save some battery and cpu cycles.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
When I use L Speed for disabling I/O logs, I see this:

12:23:28 26-01-2018] Disabling debugging...

But I already ticked option "Disable Android Logger" in A2N Kernel Control App.

Maybe there still have some logging?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] :
Anyone know about BLNWW (Backlight Notification Without Wakelock)? If we can add it to replace normal BLN, it may help to save some battery as it won't wake device up :)

But I don't know it is supported on our phone or not. Is it supported?
