from my point of view, 3G/2G conection idel has very high battery consumption, altough if mobile loss the conectivity this is going to generate a "wakelock" that drains the battery more quickly.

for me, it is the main issue of this awesome rom: the bad battery life. But it will be fixed soon, i hope so

Go to the root folder of your device, then go into the system folder and open build.prop file with a note editor.

Add this at the last line

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

and save the file. Reboot your device and the buttons will appear.

NOTE: Do NOT edit anything else in the build.prop file.

just try another kitkat recovery

I can confirm its flashable with the recovery of these roms (I tried it myself):

1. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-i9100-aosp-neatrom-v5-8-t2603169 It is twrp.

2. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/rom-t2805569 It is cwm.

and it is not flashable with the latest dorimanx-siyah cwm.

I tried that on #5 ,#6 and the latest #7 releases of this rom

EDIT: sorry #8 not flashable on stock 500 mb system partition

try my pit file in my next post Its perfect for this rom (1GB system_13GB data)

in the attachment a working recovery for flashing this rom but not #8 (It needs more space in system partition).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrafdeeb:
today I made this pit file (in the attach) 1GB system and 13GB data

which I think fixes the internal storage and becomes fused (like in stock roms 4.3+) and working perfectly (the whole internal storage) as data (apks) and media (files) storage and can be seen both on the device and PC

also it made it possible to flash the #8 rom + gapps full package and still there is 54 mb free on the 1GB system partition

so I highly recommend it for this rom and other lollipop roms.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giobio:
Please, let me understand better:

I already have changed the pit file with one of 5 GB. It means, correct me if i'm wronging, i have a /data space of 5GB and an internal SD Card of 9GB (more or less).

Now we're talking on to increase the system space with a pit file. From what I know pit files only change space beetween /data and /Internal SD Card. So, the pit file you are posting changing/system too?

And more, if changed system, is it possible in that configuration back to stock samsung rom? (does this touch the preload space used by stock rom?)

I'm not a pro but I have searched for this matter a lot and I think it is related to something named country code.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farshadgalaxy:
I have never used a pit file to change partitions. I came from stock JB rom with stock pit file and then I flashed this rom but i didn't change partitions because my phone usb is is not working fine and i can just use it to charge my phone so I can not use odin to change partitions but I'm planing to fix usb and repartition my phone. .

but I don't think my wifi problem can be fixed by repartitioning.

I thinks this problem occures because this rom doesn't have my country code so when I insert sim cart it blocks wifi.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shkedov:
My hints:

* Remount partition - unmount and then mount again /sdcard0 (in kernel>advanced options).

* Sometimes using root access might solve, try using apps such as root explorer.

* Try a different kernel (gustavo's, cwm, twrp?).

Sounds a little impossible to me that you managed to format /sdcard0 without being mounted, are you sure you have succeeded formating? Did the kernel prompt you a successful formating or /sdcard0 not found. Unmount and mount again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muchoaliento:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shkedov:
Hmmm... okay, my next possible hints are:

* Maybe your beta flashing didn't went that awesome? OS may be corrupted at your phone, have you clean-installed with fully wipe? Maybe you have upgraded from beta 12 to beta 13 only with cache wipe and the SElinux is causing you these problems? Did you verify MD5 checksum the zip before flashing (maybe your zip copy has downloaded badly)?

I would say redownload zip (check md5!), reflash with cleanfulnessity-wipe, and check access to /sdcard0 BEFORE your'e bringing in your apks and files.
