[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Check this: open Google Settings -> Location -> Google Location Reporting -> Make sure everything here is off. (Location Reporting and Location History)

Sometimes these remain on even if you turn off Location Mode. Than you can set Location mode to Battery saving, meaning using the wi-fi network to find your location, this is useful if you use facebook a lot and want to add location too. When you use google maps, if it doesn't report your location right, turn on GPS.

If all these are as I suggested them to be and still have battery problems, try:

1. Turn off phone, remove battery and let it out of the phone for 5-10min than put it back and turn it back on. See if you still have the problem. If you still have the problem try step 2. It happened to me 2 days ago, Android to report 18% battery and after doing this it showed 22% battery. Sometimes Android sees the energy in the battery wrong.

2. Empty battery, use phone until it turns off, charge it to 100% and see if you still have this problem. I wouldn't recommend doing this too many times because Lithium batteries don't like it when they have no energy and in time your battery could go bad. Doing this sometimes may fix how the OS sees the energy in the battery and report it right.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DDeler:
I've checked and everything about location is off.

I've recently tried these solution but nothing changed...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Strange. Do you have any wakelock problems with any apps? There might be something that keeps your phone awoke.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DDeler:
I often check it with Wakelock Detector and nothing strange here too, pretty much the same as on the stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
From what I understand you are using 5.3.3. You should try the latest build, maybe it fixes that for you. I can't say how was the battery life on 5.3.3 since I started with 5.3.4. How long does it last for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Quasar_88:
I used to recharge my phone quite often too. Even with my stock kernel, updated clean installed ROM and no GPS usage. I've read a lot about what to look for and how and here in a few steps I will give you the solution:

1/ Download Greenify from Google Play - set it up to automatically hibernate all the apps you don't often use and apps you don't receive important notifications from. I personally greenified Facebook, losing it's notifications, but FB uses CPU and thus battery a lot in the background (same goes to FB Messanger, but messages are important and I left it not greenified);

2/ Revoke access to "Wake up" and "Keep awake" for Google Play Services - this is necessery because GP Services wakes up the device (only it's CPU) thousands of times. Even normal behavior wakes the device up 4-5 thousand times. To prevent it from disturbing the phone's sleep you must enter App Ops in Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> three dots in upper right corner -> Advanced - in the tab "Location" select Google Play Services. Locate the switches for "Wake up" and "Keep awake" and switch them off. The described operation will not harm your phone and will not damage GP services and it's usability. You will not feel negative effect from this, only your phone will sleep better.

3/ Disable Google Location Reporting from Google Settings -> Location

4/ Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> three dots in upper right corner -> Advanced - switch off "Scanning always available"

5/ In Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy guard - revoke access to location for any app you don't want to wake up to search for your location and if possible turn off this function in the app itself - like in Facebook and FB Messenger.

6/ Uninstall apps you don't use, especially if they (or their functions) are easily accessible trough the browser (quick tip - use Dolphin Browser) in the web - some apps run in the background the entire time - Greenify puts them to sleep, but they wake up when you unlock the phone and add to the CPU and network usage.

If you want to check which apps cause you battery drainage and what processes wake up your phone, you can install BetterBatteryStats (link below). See the tutorial and help from the developer to understand it's functions. You can also use the stats from Wakelock Detector app from Google Play. I did all of the described above and had 17 hours of moderate usage (1 hour gaming, 2 hours of calls, half an hour of browsing and about hour and a half of other app usage) and I was at about 20% when I connected the charger. It was 17 hours straight from my wake up to my going to bed in a quite a long day. So try it and see if it has the same effect to you :)

In addition to my previous post - about Greenify - it kinda made my phone faster. Fewer to none frame drops in transition animations and some apps load faster. Nice bonus to battery saving :)

On two occassions I connected my phone to my PC which is running Ubuntu 14.10. So the SD card was mounted to the PC but when I disconnected the phone, the card didn't mount back to the phone. Anyone else experienced this? 5.3.3.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mvlad:
Did you try a reboot? Also, first disconnect from the phone ui, then disconnect the USB cable. Safety first.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mirdza:
Reboot does the trick. Haven't tried mounting through terminal, though. I'll see how it behaves further then post here.

Regarding the Music player bug on crashing.

When I started with 5.3.2 and updated up I didn't have the reported issue up to 5.3.4

But when I had an other issue (lost root) I had to install fresh. Then I started having issues with the music player.

Similar reports as few posts earlier

As far as I can tell the error seems to be in these

E/ExtMediaPlayer-JNI(12746): QCMediaPlayer could not be located....

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Tolez:
Ok, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] andillion:
Thanks for the team who built this rom.

I have been using stock 4.2.2 and just updated my s2vep to RR v5.3.4. .

This rom is really smooth and stable. It is much faster than my stock rom, like 20% faster I guess , and my antutu score jumped to 13190 from 11xxx. Battery life is similar to the stock rom.

Having one issue, the "performance" doesn't show up in notification drawer. Also, does the power saving mode unclock the cpu? Thanks

The guy says there is a memory leak in bootanimation file in Lollipop and he has a fix. Maybe developers could take a look on it. I've tried it on my phone, the bootanimation doesn't show anymore, but it seems to boot faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Quasar_88:
Just to add to my battery-saving-walk-trough. The screenshot below is from tonight. I unplugged the charger before I go to sleep and left the phone on battery to see what is the discharge overnight. 4 days of stand by if not touched are clearly a reality :)

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Can't wait to try it!

Btw, a noob question. If I update using the Update method from first post, will I lose existing data/apps and have to restore from backup? Or that nandroid backup is just in case something doesn't go as it should?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Quasar_88:
Follow the instructions from the first post. The backup is in case something goes wrong with the installation. Otherwise you only format dalvik and cache, leaving everything else untouched (system, app data, internal and external storage).
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shebu18:
Hello, I installed 5.3.4 yesterday and everything is fine until now. A little problem is still bothering me. The name of my contacts in the dialer is not displayed, only the numbers. In the contacts tab the contact are displayed correct. Even if i dial a number the name is not displayed. What should i do to fix this? My phone is synced with my google account. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Do you store the phone numbers on sim card, phone or on google address book? I use the last one and I don't have this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shebu18:
Google address book and I sync them with the phone over wifi after firmware install.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
You had this problem since you installed the last update? Or it started later after? You could try removing the google account and adding it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] GHsR:

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] galfit:
Guys I've a problem.. If I try to install an app from an apk, the phone says I have no memory and invite me to delete some apps. BUt I have about 1GB of free space in memory. And if I try to install an app from Play Store, it doesn't give me errors.

What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kajar9:
Could you possibly have made a nandroid backup on local storage? Move it or remove it!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] galfit:
No I haven't... It happens after the installation of 5.3.5
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] moonship:
Can not move Apps to SD card with Link2SD. Phone said, not enough memory. But i have enough. What can i do? RR 5.3.5. Also not move without L2SD.

Is it a 5.3.5 bug? I see 2 people with the same problem. Haven't get to install it yet and I wonder if I should. xD

Same to me! Probably a bug (At least I hope it is :D)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
This is my battery life with v5.3.4.

As you can see I had more than 1h of phone talking, almost 1h of screen on in this time, 20min of it because of Nandroid Backup, 15h wi-fi on, NFC is alway on, in the 22h period and still have 66% battery left.

I can't ask for more.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shebu18:
Tried it and i still have only the number shown when i call someone but in the contacts tab everything is ok. Even in the messaging app i have the same problem.

What should i do? Format dalvick and factoroy reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
I don't know if that fixes it, but you can try. Try first with dalvik and cache partition, you won't lose your apps/data, if still a problem you can try factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Quasar_88:
Shebu18 - You can also try clearing the data for Dialer, Contacts and Messaging from Settings -> Apps ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shebu18:
dalvik and cache did not help but a factory reset resolved the issue.

Thanks for your help.

I installed this morning 5.3.5 and took a look at that setting, here it was set that way by default, so no problem. I'm happy they added new tiles for the drop down status bar and also changes to it seems more reliable. Before it would took some time to see the changes. Works smooth as usual.

From what I understand CM12 does include FM Radio, I'm wondering why they decided to remove it. I don't use it that much, but I'm just curious.

Hi guys

How to flash it on I9105

It says that the installation is abort
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kajar9:

Check filesize and whether it completed download

Are you using CWM or TWRP recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] zackrysph:
root access

Can anybody suggest a way to root this ROM please. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Zeal3r:
Hey,

I have a big problem here :(

I flashed this ROM over CM12 Lollipop, restored everything etc and everything worked fine... then I found the second Theme, starting with "2", mostly black and red colors on the Preview... so I chose everything (Style, Bootanimation ...) and my Phone restarted... and got stuck on the Bootanimation.... It just went on forever, until my Phone restarted and thenm, the animation was kinda broken, as it started with a bit of purple and then went on to a big white quader, changing regularily..... so I'm in a Bootloop I guess...

Now, what can I do, do fix that without resetting / flashing too much? I don't want to lose everything again ._.

My Phone is the GT-I9105P and my Recovery is TWRP v2.8.4.0

Thanks in Advance

~Zeal3r
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mirdza:
I believe it's already rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mvlad:
No backup?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Zeal3r:
I have one from Android 4.4.4, but like I said, I would prefer a solution, which won't require me to flash / reset etc everything from the beginning :/

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Okay, I solved the problem by doing a Factory Reset and wipng Cache and Dalvik... now everything from the beginning :(
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
After you install apps, you could make a backup, just in case it ever happens something similar.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mihairimia:
+1 here - As soon as I tried to switch theme it rebooted and never passed the bootanimation... For now I am back on 5.3.4 !
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Huthefah9:
It's on CWM untouch
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cLick1338:
I have the very same problem. I had written quite a long post about it but apparently forgot to actually post it and it's gone. By my experimentations, the problem seems to trigger when trying to apply the fonts of "PitchBlack 2th" (lol - "2th"). Well, AT LEAST "Fonts" causes the crash, didn't check anything else but "Style" which applies and works just fine. Personally I could only fix it with a factory reset. I advise anyone who's on 5.3.5 to not try to apply that theme's fonts.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Quasar_88:
Bootloop after updating to 5.3.5.

I just updated to 5.3.5. I am using latest TWRP and installed the update wiping Dalvik and Cache as in the instructions, but after the phone build it's Dalvik it rebooted again by itself and is, by the time of writing this, in bootloop. I was on a custom theme and bootanimation (the original Lollipop one with the colored circles), working just fine before this update. I made a nandroid backup because of the reported problems and now I will obviously have to use it. This particular release needs a fix for that bootloop problem and I think the culprit is not in the new RR theme included in the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] johnHooke:
Hi. I instaled vers 5.3.5. Used latest twrp. Prev rom was oficial 4.2.2 dbt. No problems during instal,worked like a charm.

Like it very much. I have some questions regarding notifications and options.

1.Does performance setting (power save)work independently from battery saver? Cuz first time I booted I got that impression but now if I activate power save plan battery saver activates too.

2. What is that option with notifications regarding interruptions, or how it works?Can't find it's use ...

3. Profile can be chosen only from power button? And is it normal not to be represented in the notifications bar with the specific icon?(I mean silent mode in particular)

Thx.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
1. From what I understand, Performance setting does affect battery, but I don't know how much. My recommendation would be to keep it on Balanced, the middle option. With this option the phone will run smooth, good battery life and good performance.

2. Interruptions let's you set a timer for notification. Let's say you don't want to be disturbed by notification for 2h, you can use None in interruptions and set it for 2h. If you just want to be disturbed by calls and only specific apps notifications you can set that too with Priority mode, for a given period.

3. Profiles is something added over the stock Lollipop, it's actually a feature from CM. I never used it, prefer AudioGuru/NFC tags for sound profiles and other tasks.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Quasar_88:
I am not experienced with adb and debugging. As for the bootanimation - I read about a memory problem caused by the bootanimation in which it loads fully into the RAM thus making Android to kill start-up processes, causing bootloop. I don't know if this is really the problem, so I'll leave it to the devs and wait for the next update, where this problem is addressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
It's a problem on phones with bigger resolutions where the boot animation has a bigger size due to resolution of the screen. Also that fix is intended for those that have bootloops, which could be caused by this so called memory leak, although this would've happened to everyone and I don't experience this.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ken2802:

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mirdza:
Did you do a full wipe, cache+data? What recovery did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
I think I've found a bug.

Tried turning on and off the flashlight from status bar for a bunch of times, one after another, the tile disappears and OS is restarting.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Quasar_88:
Me too. At first boot it was 3 minutes, after installing BetterBatteryStats it toke 5 minutes. Eventually it connects but it's a strange behavior.

You better use the latest TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kajar9:
The odd thing is, that I had that problem too, on multiple versions of this rom.

Although only when fresh.

After some time it magically fixes itself (not the tile millisecond dissapear thing though).

I presume some reboots and or something gets corrected somewhere in the process

Taking these pictures I really see how disgusting my keyboard has become.... ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Anyway, I don't use the flashlight, only sometimes when taking pictures which there seems to be no problem running it from the camera app. But if there is a problem maybe they want to fix it, for those that use it. In this latest version, I don't seem to have the problem anymore, tried turning it on and off like 6-7 times and had no problem.

The only thing now is the time it takes to connect to cell tower, it's longer than in previous version. I would say around 1-2min here.

Hope it doesn't sound like a complain because I really like this ROM and I use it as my daily driver. I've tried another rom (KK based) a while ago and after 1 day I switched back to JB. This one I'm running it for like 3-4 days and I love it and I don't feel like I should go back.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cLick1338:
Anybody else's "Performance" menu in Settings come up blank like this?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Here it works fine. Maybe is because of the theme.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cLick1338:
Nope. Changed to default theme, even rebooted. Still blank. And it's not like the text is invisible or something - tapping where it's supposed to be does nothing. Using search to look for "Processor" and "I/O Scheduler" brings up zero results.

Just curious, for those whose Performance menu is working, did you do a 'clean' flash or did you upgrade from 5.3.5 like me?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Upgrade from 5.3.5.

Btw, I've tried to take a panorama picture with Google Camera but when I start the image starts to move slowly by itself without even moving the phone and it's really hard to point on those white dots because of that. I think a sensor is reporting wrong, is there a way to fix that?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] johnHooke:
Have u found a solution for kernel keeping phone awoken?

Is it normal for the settings made in Privacy guard regarding "Wake up" and "Keep awake" to reset to default on reboot? i am on 5.3.5..
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Found a problem. I'm using JetAudio Pro as music player and when I open the app and select a song to play, it takes a long time to play it, ~20-30sec. Then I pause, hit menu button and Exit. Enter again in the app and select a different song to play. App starts playing the song before closing it and at the same time I get a crash saying: "Unfortunately, jetAudio Plus has stopped." and as soon as I hit OK music stops and app restarts. I get the same result with or without headphones, if that helps.
