USB storage is not compatible with the new internal storage format (emulated storage), only MTP is compatible with it. MTP works out of the box on Linux and Windows computers, but not Apple.

Update: After making things even worse ended up doing ODIN to stock and did everything again. Working great now! Sorry for the trouble.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Aahz Pervect:
It'd be nice to see devs adopt a better partitioning scheme whether it's done virtually or properly. Hashcode did something similar with OtterX where he basically looked to the Nexus and then setup first gen Kindle partitions in a similar manner. (it also required a custom version of TWRP as well as a custom bootloader)

I'm kinda just thinking out-loud but if anyone could sway other devs to move to a new scheme it'd be someone like Sultan.:cowboy:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] newmab:
I second that. Just switched over from Sultan's Kit Kat Rom which is great also.

Thanks again SultanXDA. :good: :good:

Only one issue that I want to make sure is not something I have done.

The BLN notification stays solid after the ten minutes rather than completely turn off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
That's a new feature of BLN. It'll keep the lights on after 10 minutes in a low-power mode (no blinking and no wakelocks) so you can still see that you have a notification if you look at your phone after the timeout.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] newmab:
Awesome. It definitely gets my attention.

Thanks again.

Is it possible to tether with this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ayr0:
Yes, it is possible to tether.

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION], where are the kernel configuration files? I can't find them under /etc/init.d. Did they move?

Is the call bug in this ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Combatace:
I Installed the recovery first and then partitioned the drive that is what the instruction says. Now I can't connect my phone to computer, Odin does not recognize my phone. I am stuck on recovery and really need help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
If Odin doesn't recognize your phone then that's a different issue, because the "repartioning" is just a magic trick. It is no different than simply installing a ROM, so it can't be what's causing your phone to not be recognized by Odin.

In recovery, go to Mount and then turn MTP off and on with the button in the bottom right-hand corner. Your computer (unless it is a Mac) should recognize your phone now and allow you to copy files over via MTP.

Hello friends I also do the same order
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
No. The changes for the new partition layout are very extensive in the ROM, so making 2 separate ROM builds would be very hassling for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cameraddict:
I was going to install two weeks ago until I noticed that many people are having problems with secure banking apps. Is this related to the current state of SELinux? I read that you said that you weren't going to touch it until the Rom is complete. So I'm just curious if that's it, or if you believe that is another problem. If you think it may be another problem, I will install soon and pull a log as I use my banking app. (or what ever trouble shooting help you may need...)

Thanks.

Thank you Sultanxda for your hard work man , this rom is amazing and it keeps getting better ! , I've done everything just as you said and everything works nice and smooth , though maybe the last build is little bit greedy on battery ^^ but its fast and much stable of the other one's , again thank you and keep up the great work :)

Tried that with no joy. Now the problem with me here is I can install your builds from 4th and 13th Feb. but can't install gapps and I can't find a way to make partitions normal so that I can install older versions properly or even try to install latest one from start.

I've uploaded an update to the custom TWRP recovery. Please note that you can only install the TWRP recovery update if your device has been repartitioned.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Combatace:
Can you please change the flow in your instructions, they say otherwise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sultanxda:
It does not say otherwise. My TWRP recovery is very different from the official TWRP recovery; you must start the repartition process using the official TWRP recovery.

First i must say this is a super sweet rom and I dont see myself changing back to any other custom rom, EVER!

One problem though whenever I am listening music thru headphones if I touch the home button the music starts playing thru external speaker and continues to do so even when i go back to the music app and if I unplug the headphones the audio goes.

Plz Consider Fixing Sweep2Wake

Hello,

I am quickly posting this because I see no one has. I have noticed that in all your ROM/kernel updates you have not fixed Sweep2Wake. By fix I mean sweep to wake is bugged in the sense that instead of sweeping from the menu button to the search button to wake the phone it only wakes if you press the home button. This gets very annoying because the phone will turn on in your pocket. If you could reply back and tell me if this is a permanent bug or just something you haven't got around to fixing that would be great.

Thanks for the great work on this ROM and I will be looking forward to a reply.

Sincerely,

KillZoner21

After messing up the re partition and ROM install (totally my fault) I had to Odin back to stock and start from scratch. Did a full wipe, got re partition set up, and 3/1/15 build and gapps flashed, installed more user apps than I have previously been able to thanks to the extra space. I have had zero issues and everything is nice and stable since, haven't re-booted phone since 3/1/15. Not sure why lots of people are having problems but like [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] previously said:

Maybe a full wipe and fresh ROM install is needed for some? or 3rd party apps causing problems?

The one thing I can confirm is banking app has black screen, not something I actually use though just testing.

When I did a clean wipe the other day, I was unable to turn off the button backlight or change any of it settings. It seemed to be hardcoded at 5sec timeout.

Also, there is a problem recording 1080p video with the google camera app. The video is all green and garbled.

Final note. I opened up the the kernel archive to see where the kernel settings file is installed. It says it is installed to /system/etc/init.d/89z_kernel. However, upon checking that path, there is no 89z_kernel file. Searching / didn't yield any results. Where on my device is this file? I like to change the BLN timeout to 3min

As i understand it, you need the data partiton backup to restore the original partion layout. Without it, the only way to get to a different rom seems to be ODIN to stock. Of course, I could be way off base, so take it with a grain of salt.

Yes, I have no data on my phone now after flashing the 3/4/15 update. My signal shows an exclamation point next to it, cards show no internet connection, couldn't load pandora. I've tried toggling airplane mode, reflashing the rom, going into the data settings and switching the carrier modes (4g/3g) etc. So I'm pretty sure its the rom as it was working on the earlier Feb build.

Phone call problem, Feb 13th build.

Haven't upgraded yet because I didn't want to take the time to virtually repartition my phone. I'm running 12-20150213 of the rom and 3.0.31-Sultan-v1.8.0-lollipop kernel.

Yesterday, I was trying to make a call to my chiropractor and was greeted by silence: no dial tone, no voice, nothing. An incoming call from my mother acted similarly; apparently the silence was both ways because she couldn't hear me either.

Texts seemed unaffected, and the problem resolved upon reboot.

I just read that a few of the fixes coming in 5.1 deal with:

*Improved Ram management

*General improvements to system stability

* Fixed sudden app closures

*Issues with wireless connections fixed

*Problems with OK Google fixed

*Sound problems on certain devices fixed

Just a thought. Perhaps some reported problems here aren't with Sultan's Rom, but with Android 5.0.X

Hey guys,

First post so bear with me. I have the Canadian Telus version of this phone (SGH-T989D), that I had been running [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]'s CM11 ROM on for the longest time, and just recently switched to this CM12 (March 1st build, and now March 4th build).

However, after switching, the wifi and tethering have not been working (data is fine). I repartitioned, updated kernal (v18.2) and gapps (March 7th) with no problem. I also updated the radio (latest Telus radio) after seeing it as a suggestion in earlier in this thread, but that did not work either.

Furthermore, even after flashing back to stock with ODIN (had to do it before because I bricked the phone at one point), the wifi did not work. Not sure if this means a hardware issue? Either way, after looking around more, it was suggested that the kernal causes this sometimes? However I'm not sure if there are any other compatible kernals with this ROM so I haven't tried anything with that (also does your kernal go back to stock when you flash back to stock?)

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to try next? Thanks!

Also, thanks [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] for this ROM (and the CM11 version)!
