Now on build 04/08 I cannot receive a single MMS, whether I reboot it or not... Is it just me?

APN configurations are correct.

EDIT: If it is any help, all incoming MMS are marked as being 49kb, when in reality this is not true.

EDIT2: It is a problem with stock SMS app (and others I've tried, for example textra SMS). I managed to download all the pending MMS in a row with Messaging Classic ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.message&hl=pt-PT )

Observations about Cm12.1

Hi, i've installed the new 04/08 update of cm12.1 and i would share some impresions. The first time i boot up the rom, it shows me a message that play services were sttoped, then i get no more this message when i reboot my phone. Battery comes down very fast. in the last rom of cm12 battery was about 19 hours, now its about 5 or 6 hours, im testing it. I've calibrated the battery now, and im waiting battery to get empty. The installation was clean. And about the camera, my phone reboot when i used the whatsapp in camera. When i restart my phone i can use the camera app normally without problem. Finally i have to say, that the rom is very fast and smooth. Thank you for your work guys!! ;)

GApps

Thanks for the reply. That package is at the beginning of the new Consolidated list.

I ended up using PA-GApps because that's the one I had installed originally and I didn't know if it was safe to change.

I picked PA kind of randomly. I'm curious, which GApps packages are most people using?

Hello!

Can somebody tell me which kernel should I use with CM 12.1 ROM for our i9100?

1. Understandability and patience

2. Providing logs if you encounter bugs

3. not expecting our device to behave like a S6

I mean, we all would like to have better battery life, perfect stability and performance, but the way you report this sounds a bit harsh towards devs, especially LA.

I definitely agree that CM 12.1 is the smoothest rom for S2 so far, and I can't wait for it to become more polished.

However, we'll have to show some patience and support, as it won't happen within a night.

So... Keep calme and report bugs instead of wishlists. Thank you. :)

Bluetooth problem with 5.1 and Galaxy S2

I have the same problem:

I noticed that if I don't allow reading SMS messages and contacts from my phone, then the Bluetooth connection works with my car and I can make phone calls etc.

Bluetooth seems to be the major problem with this build 2015-04-08, as it sometimes hangs the phone when I synchronize Polar watch with phone as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weib67:
Hi,

Short answer: no, it's not possible.

Cyanogenmod is based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project), AOSP being pur Android.

Touchwiz is part of the Samsung firmware, and can't be ported to AOSP roms.

However, you can install some third party launcher (as S Launcher or Galaxy Launcher from the Playstore) to mimic the Touchwiz UI.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katchatore:
Thanks for answering. I have another question. If this is the case, is there a way on how to install apps that are TouchWiz dependent to this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No. There are some features on the stock touchwiz that are property of samsung, and the apps you are talking about will probably only work on the stock samsung rom or modified touchwiz roms.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysergic Acid:
Try to clean all the recent apps from the RAM, I would need to adjust LMK values if that happen in more apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weib67:
Unfortunately, and for the same reason, you can't install Touchwiz dependent apps on CM/AOSP roms.

However, you should be able to replace most of them, as shown in this thread (among others): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2481854

Of course, the user experience will be a bit different at the end, but you shoudn't miss any major feature.

It's up to you to decide which one you prefere. :)

Lock screen wallpaper

Hello,

I read a lot about the lock screen wallpaper, and how to change.

But It's not working for me.

I dont find the "key changer" file on my phone

I also do not have the directory "data/system/0

Is there a simple way to change the lock screen wallpaper?

Regards Neo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyltraq:
I have the habit of always cleaning the recent apps after closing them unless I'm intentionally multitasking.

The interesting thing is that this is happening with only Play Store being open. I've experimented and it is not happening on any other of the test subjects in the store. Even on the free version of Syberia which has almost the same description except the line that you can unlock the full version within the game.

As I've said - it is not a big deal because it is not happening on each app. Just wanted to provide the log because it is related to OOM exception.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lysergic Acid:
I guess it's an app bug then. Because the log shows an OOM, but all we can do to fix such a thing is adjust the LMK, or enable zRAM, stuff like this. Since it's not happening on another apps, I guess the app needs an update.

Since it removed CMHome.apk (Google Now Search Panel for Trebuchet) - use a better launcher,

If I apply a theme on this ROM, will it be successful? not the home launcher I mean, I mean like the SystemUI, settings, notification bar, etc

But for sure the theme for apps will be gone like music (eleven) player, file manager, etc.

Like this theme for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simbillidev.touchwizs6cm12&hl=en

FEATURES :

+ Fully themed Android

+ Fully themed SystemUI

+ Fully themed Dialer

+ Fully themed Messaging

+ Fully themed Contacts

+ Fully themed Music (Eleven)

+ Fully themed Settings

+ Fully themed File Manager

+ Fully themed Gallery

+ Fully themed Sound Recorder

+ Fully themed Calculator

+ Fully themed Downloads

+ Fully themed Theme Chooser

+ Fully themed Whatsapp

+ Fully themed Browser

+ Navigation Bar Icons

+ S6 System Icons

+ S6 wallpaper

+ S6 lock screen wallpaper

+ Samsung Bootanimation

+ S5 Fonts (Waiting for S6)

So what is the best system data partition if, I still want to keep my bloatwares (CM bloatwares), and what is the smallest GAPPS included with bloatware

Thanksss

Thanks for CM12.1!

For me the best build is 06/04. Almost everything works. Video recording ok. WLAN stops scanning and functioning after a while when moving around to other APs. Reboot helps here.

After upgrading to 08/04, there are some crashes around with hot reboots. Did a direct upgrade from 06/04 -> 08/04. Now WLAN icon appears as connected simultaneously with the 3G Icon (H+). Cant ping from WLAN when 3G is on, seems both adapters are connected at the same time with 3G gateway having priority over WLAN. Traffic goes over 3G in this case. Disabling 3G brings back WLAN functionality. Please fix that.

problem with android 5.0

I had android 4.1.2 on galaxy s2 I decided to upgrade to 5.0 version so

1st I rooted phone with CM-12-Kernel+Recovery-I9100 via odin

it was successful then cleared factory data wiped cache and dalvin cache

then installed this version android 5.00

cm-12.1-20150408-UNOFFICIAL-i9100

problem was that it said root access was lost it offered to fix that with su file which I had put in device already CWM-SuperSU-v0.99

it slowly booted like 5-6 minutes but biggest problem is that I don't have many google aps like youtube play store etc I tried to install for example google apps gapps-lp-20150222-signed and gapps-L-3-14-15 it said installed successful but still seems many aps missing i manually installed play store but when I open it it gets missed and closes immediately also can't connect to kies all time it says connecting.

stuck at boot animation

Today I tried to flash cm-12.1-20150408-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip (or cm-12-20150331-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip) onto my i9100. However, whatever I tried, I'm stuck at the boot animation (I guess waiting for more than 20 minutes is a pretty safe indicator this is stuck).

I'm coming from the latest CM11 nightly (cm-11-20150412-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip) with CWM 6.0.5.1.

In case it matters, a while ago, I repartitioned my device with I9100_4GB-data_45mb-preload_1GB-system. So far, this has not been any problem at all.

I tried to flash...

with factory reset as mentioned in post 1 (with or without additional clear cache and dalvik cache, with or without formatting /system, with or without gapps)

update with cmupdater without factory reset (as posted elsewhere as a potential fix) - with or without updating gapps to the Lollipop version

CM11 still boots fine and (luckily) this is also the case after restoring the backup. However, I'm out of ideas what is causing this problem and how to solve it.

Thank you for your help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyltraq:
You wrote that you've decided to upgrade to 5.0 but after that you mention that you've installed cm-12.1 which it 5.1.

Are you sure you are using the right GApps version? You must flash 5.1 GApps with this build.

Also - after flashing the cm-12.1 zip and the GApps zip you don't need to fix root.

some points about version 04/06

Hello all

I have beed using this version since 07/04 and looks really great. The only things that i found tillnow that are bothering me are:

Reserve battery option does not work when toggled from quick settings . Quick settings toggle of battery reserve does nothing. If i long press and go to setting i can turn that off/on without problem

Battery stats seem somehow altered or incomplete. E.g the battery is 85% and it shows that 8% is used by screeen, 5% by android etc and all percentages do not sum up to 100% or 15% whatever is ok

Finally the greek keyboard is crashing sometimes but if i press once again the field it pops up again ok. It crashes like 4-5 times per day mainly when in sms app or whatsapp messenger

I think those are all my info until now, when i find some time i will install 04/08 because i have like 50 apps installed and its quite time consuming

MMS service issue

Hello,

First I want thank you for the great work you are doing.

I use CM12 development since the 03/03 build.

I have noticed that the MMS service seems to not work properly.

After a phone switch on, I send a MMS to a contact and the message is sent normally.

When I want to send an other MMS, the sending is in progress but never complete.

I must reboot to complete the message sending.

I have no problem with the SMS service.

I check the APN setup, all is OK.

I change my SMS - MMS app, SMS sending still OK and MMS not.

I flash all next builds and the problem still remains.

Yesterday, I flashed my phone with the last CM11 build and MMS sending is working fine.
