[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My 1st Android:
PIT files...

The reason probably is that you kept the original PIT files, or at least: kept the original space for the /system partition.

The space you see in the screenshots is NOT the space you have in the /system partition. As the system partition is something that 'ordinary users' do not use, this space is not normally reported.

I guess you have two options:

1) Change the partitioning, using one of those PIT files that leads to a larger system partition.

This is something I tried to do myself, and failed to do, so perhaps not as easy as you might expect. On the other hand, perhaps it does work out of the box for you, using one of the many helpful posts in the original thread.

2) Use an even smaller gapps. This is what I did. If you use e.g. the nano gapps, you can install other Google apps from the play store itself. The result is that these apps will NOT go to the /system partition, but to the much larger space available for 'normal' apps.

Kind regards,

Roel

installe the rom beta 16 and 17 are best with the error that my phone is reset every 30 seconds or 1 minute if watching'm writing an application.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
What steps did you take to install the rom and gapps? And which gapps did you flash?

I would suggest a full clean install (factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik, format system, data)

Then flash rom and a minimal gapps package such as from -

Hi, I had the same problem. I fix it the problem, I installed Gapps from ROM Resurrection Remix [5.0.2], on "Galaxy S II Android Development" (sorry I can't posted a link). I installed an old version of this Gapps, you can try this new.

Gapps size 81.96Mb

Now all work perfectly. :D

bad multitasking or repartition?

so i cant really get it right... for some people, cm12 works great, runs smooth without freezes and lags, others say that have em.. for me its the same, before starting an app, takes 5-10secs, freezes randomly at places...

also i have repartitioned to 1GB/4GB pit.

so what is the cause of this, can it be "bad multitasking" or the repartition that i have done?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysergic Acid:
Lol, mate, you sent me a pm to answer this. You could easily search the thread for your questions.

The size for flashing gapps is determined by /system, this is not shown under storage, it appears on TB or any other app for calculating system size. You will see that CM12 occupy something like 80% of the /system partition.

UMS was removed somehow from CM12, idk why, but I can't see a reason to use it anyway, it's so old. MTP works great.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah interesting question about the repartitioning. I've noticed a few people on different lp roms that have modified system partitions, and a lot seem to complain of lag or freezing. It might be worth comparing performance between people who have unmodified and modified partitions on lp roms??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juancho2706:
Thanks for the answer!, what is TB? and what is MTP?, i try to use the USB stuff on the phone so i can use the unity editor to create game apps on the S2 :(

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysergic Acid:
Sorry for abbreviations, TB stands for Titanium Backup, and MTP is the Media Transfer Protocol, a newer method for tranfering files to the pc without unmounting the sdcard on the phone.

Nope, there's some new things that I should add to our device tree for this to work, but I'm focusing on the camera now, I'll fix those minor issues later ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandeszyo:
yeah that would be great, but sadly not all the people that have laggs and freezes shares that if he/she has a repartition pit... so its hard like this, but transferring all my **** again back to pc, then back to phone, damn somehow thats slow af, and even that i repartitioned it, still pico is the only gapps that goes with it... cant get it :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonica2001:
yes sir, i know.

i was just trying to point that i was having problems only when the sign in present on the status bar.

i'm using the root included in rom, so i'm not able or i don't know how to disable it.

somehow the problem in solved for now.

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Repartitioning has no affect to performance whatsoever. It may have a battery hit (for some people who use modified preload, although this still needs to be proven). The lags or freezing is more rom dependent since it's still hard to tell as lp roms on our device is still on the beta stages. The only thing I can think of that would change the performance is having too many apps on the system partition or on the phone in general since flash devices like to not have their capacity filled to the max or when formatting to a different format (i.e ext4, ntfs, fat32, etc).

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

My advice is to use the romnuke script by hawker: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/cwm-util-wipe-scripts-s2-gt-i9100-t2100558. Reinstall rom and report findings. If problems still exist, maybe an older version of CM12 will fix the problem, or you can just wait until lysergic acid releases an update.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

Are you sure you selected the right pit file. The one's provided in my guide has 1gb system pit files, whereas the pits on metalgearharthaway is stock system size. If you use titanium backup, you can check your system partition size. If it's 1gb, you should be able to flash any cm12 gapps.

I'm very impressed with this rom. I come from CM11 and this rom is 100% for the daily use. It's very smooth and I have noticed a much better battery life.

WhisperPush in SMS/MMS App not working?

Hello,

I flashed this ROM the day before yesterday and I'm completely happy.

Everything I'm testing is working like a charm. Big thank you to the developers!

There is just one little problem that I ran into:

It seems tha I cannot use WhisperPush in the SMS/MMS app.

(This is the encryption and network feature, which was adopted from textsecure.)

When I try to register at WhisperPush it in the privacy settings, all I get is a "connection error" after one second of waiting.

(Textsecure itself works fine.)

Any hints?

Is this a known issue?

Am i doing something wrong?

Gerald

guys can u confirm?

1) I haven't tested beta17 yet. guys can anybody confirm disabling the vibration of softkeys is working or not on the latest build? as it's been 3 days since i jumped to beta16 and couldnt disable it ( i have not much time to regularly update rom, it takes me a whole day to de-bloat). On previous betas i used to simply tap a option whatever called in the "other sounds" section.

2) how to change the drawer grid size on trebuchet ? on beta16 it's 6x5 and too small. it wasnt like this before.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandeszyo:
well yeah, my bad.. checked it out in TB and its only half a gig.. thanks for that :) so can it be the cause of freezes and lags?

and btw, whats the romnuke script, what is that used for exactly?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pencilnotpen:
In case you were wondering, it did turn out to be the preload partition PIT. I went back to a stock ROM, then repartitioned with an unmodified preload 1GB system PIT from here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162

then flashed a recovery, booted into it and installed the beta and it worked.

Should probably work without going back to stock too, I think the PIT was the main thing.

Good luck!

Update black screen problem - related to the ROM itself?

Hi all, just an update to the previous question ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59064958&postcount=1266 ) in which I described how I got an annoying black screen 'over' any apps with the cm-12-20150117-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip version:

After getting a call this morning, the phone decided that it had enough of the black screen, and everything worked as before.

Now I do not know it the problem will return, e.g. when it reboots, so am still looking for the root-cause, and/or a solution.

As the phone is working now, I was able to capture different logs, in this case using SysLog from Google Play. In this case I let it capture everything.

Looking around, I did not find anything obvious, but then again I am not an avid reader of kernel logs, even logs and audit logs ;-0

Anyone who can help me interpret the problem? And perhaps avoid it in the future (or point me at any evidence that it is hardware related, suggesting I better start looking for a new phone ;-0)?

Added the logs here in a single zip file.

Thanks for anyone looking into this.

Kind regards,

Roel

Added information: Googling found this link

( http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-5-0-lollipop/465232-lollipop-black-screen.html )

describing what sound like the same problem, in this case it being a (general) Lollipop problem. So it may be that it is neither ROM related not hardware related, but a 'bug' on Lollipop itself...

Just for the record: I do not use Tasker (although I use Llama which has some of the some possibilities)

Second addition: the black screen problem is back. Calling myself from a landline does not help: the black screen is back ;-(

Rebooting, or changing to 'guest' user (and even: adding a new user) does not help either (these were tips in the linked thread).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysergic Acid:
Yes, now can enable/disable the vibration again. About trebuchet it's up to CM, I personally use GNL
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Not sure why lags could be present, my guess is that CM12 doesn't run smooth on everybody's device so it's hard to tell. Perhaps using the 3gb pit with 1gb partition size might solve some lag, but I assume that the pit would not cause any problems.

Romnuke script is a script made by hawker which makes sure all rom files are deleted (including apps, but not personal data like photos and videos). It gives your phone a good clean and makes sure that there will be minimal errors due to formatting when you install a new rom.

---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

Sometimes roms like CM require the preload to be normal size (that's why I've highlighted the fact that I don't include modified preload pits in my thread).

Slowness

I'm the only one who noticed an extreme slowdown of the device?

I tried to rollback to CM11, apps open 3x/4x faster and it is all fluid and responsive.

I already tried several times to full-reset my i9100 before flashing this rom but nothing changed.

Is it an issue of my single device or it is a general thing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiph1980:
Awesome! I'll then try a few different partition setups, see at which preload size it starts borking. Standard size is 512MB, and those "45MB" pit files actually have 22.5MB preload partitions. I'll get back to you when I find a good one, and then make a few different PIT files with different /system, /data, and /storage/sdcard0 partitions. :)

I just wanted to ask if this ROM incorporates the FPBug fix, or TRIM support, as detailed here:

The FPBug fix is included since it was released, it's a must for every s2 ROM now.

TRIM is not implemented because there's a long discussion if it's safe or not, good or not, and it's proven that kernels without tim support doesn't have problems.

Llama stop working with build 18

Hi,

Thanks for your work. The rom runs great.

However, I came from build 16 to 18 on a clean flash and since then, Llama (the app) always close itself.

In fact, if no action is taken by the app, it stays open, but as soon as there is an action undergoing, the app forces close.

Even though I found that build 18 runs smoother on my device than 16, I can assure you that this 'bug' was not present on previous builds.
