2-3 pages earlier I posted a way to preserve battery without harming the functionality, check it -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58880768&postcount=616

Kernel wakelocks are necessary evil, I guess. They are something we cannot prevent as these wakelocks are connected to essential processes, so we can only try and optimize everything else. Not mentioned in my earlier post is that 3G uses less battery then Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi triggers a certain wakelock in Android OS (a scan of some sort) which additionally wakes up the phone (for me 30-40 times per hour). On 3G I have less wake ups from Android OS, as with Wi-Fi turned off this wakelock doesn't trigger. Below is a screenshot from Wakelock Detector, showing for day and a half (on battery + small 2 hour recharge because of the updating to 5.3.6.) how much time my phone was awake and what kept it that way the most. I used it less than in working days and phone rested peacefully :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] :
After I activated the developers settings, the performance menu options were shown correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
If only I would've saw this in time... I tried restoring a backup but then it wouldn't boot so I had to flash it again and reinstall all apps. Anyone knows why that could happen, not boot? I just showed a black screen and wouldn't go from there forward.

LE: I think I've found the problem. I used to make backup with Online Nandorid Backup app from Google Play. Seems it's not reliable. Now I've made a backup from recovery mode. I hope I won't need to restore it, but we'll see when and if it happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kajar9:
That actually worked. I had the settings enabled, but toggling enabled the power options to become available too.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Btw, is there a way to manage the list of apps that have root access? Let's say I gave root access to an app and after a while I want to remove it. How can I do that? Also, the root access icon in notification bar is always on here and I don't know what app is the one that needs permanent root access.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mirdza:
I think that the same thing happened to me with 5.3.3.

Ditching Online Nandroid Backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Nevermind, found it. Under

Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Menu -> Advanced -> Root access

for those that wondering the same thing.

LE. You guys can unmount SD card? Here it looks like this:
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] PrinceEndymion88:
5.3.6 seems really fast ?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] anastasiszn:
This rom is better than cm? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Haven't tried CM, but I can tell you it runs smooth. It has very few bugs, some of them can be fixed by user. You can make a backup and try it yourself. Doesn't take more than 15-20min.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cLick1338:
It is CM with some good stuff on top. So yeah, it is way better in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] neohq:
Hello,

I saw this on the first post "Make sure you are either on any Lollipop ROM or on 4.2.2 TW based ROM", I don't know exactly what this means so I'm asking to be sure.

Right now I have CM 11 M8 with Mosh Kernel, can I install this ROM from CM 11 M8 (4.4.4) using CWM (or should I install TWRP ?) ?

And what GApps should I use ? I saw there are few packs and some of them replaces stock apps, I think "mini" package is enough.

Thanks.

Media bug

please when you will fix media scanning bug, Gallery is having too much photos and music app stops always! Please make a solve for this! :/
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cLick1338:
Yes, you can install it. Use the PA GApps, the link is in the first post of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] neohq:
This is the answer that I would have liked to hear.

Time for some "flashing", i'll come back with feedback.

Thanks a lot !
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mirdza:
Pico modular is enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] neohq:
Does the kernel have BLN option or I can flash Mosh Kernel 1.9.2 aosp ? I'm used with BLN and I would like to have it again if possible.

What are the differences between them ? I don't what to give up to the stock kernel just for BLN if it is better than Mosh Kernel.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Quasar_88:
This ROM works best with stock kernel. Other kernels cause bugs. That is what I know from reading this thread :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DarkShadow69:
I'm having trouble installing these gapps. Rom is working fine without gapps. Everytime I installed gapps after reboot Google Playstore and other services FC :(
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mirdza:
Did you flash gapps for kitkat or for lollipop?

From where did you download?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Tuupmeister:
Cyanogen recovery update

In 5.3.5, I have chosen the option: "Cyanogen recovery update". Once I made a recovery restart (with the intention to update to 5.3.6), the first thing I saw was "Reboot system no". The "w"does not fit on the screen.

With vol up and Down I get the options

-Apply update,

-wipe data/factor,

-wipe cache parti,

-wipe media,

-reboot to bootlo,

-power down,

-view recovery lo,

-Reboot system no.

Where is the option to make a nondroid? And, if there's no option to make a backup, how can i get to my "old" CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Nandroid backup can be made from CWM. About changing the recovery, I'm not sure, but I think you just have to go in download mode and use Odin. Maybe someone that knows for sure can confirm or deny this.

Here for more information: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2560928
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Tuupmeister:
Oké, that will do. But do you recognize the options? There is for example no option to clear dalvik cache:rolleyes: How to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Check the link above, it tells you how to update your recovery to CWM and you won't have this problem. Than you can make a backup. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mirdza:
If you have CWM installed, you can just flash TWRP zip from it. I suppose it works also vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DVDandroid:
my friend has the same problem, solutions?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] galfit:
I always use these gapps and I've never had problems:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330

N.B. everytime you update this ROM, you must flash again the gapps
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DVDandroid:

I've found a nasty bug and I can't get rid of it, I've added a picture (from camera not from SDCard) to my user profile and now I can not acces the User menu from settings anymore, "Unfortunately, Settings has stoped"

That menu can be access also from notification drawer, top right corner logo -> More settings, same thing.

Restart and delete cache doesn't do any good, the problem is still there. Any ideas ?

If i want to update do i have to wype data cuz now i am on 5.3.5 and im asking this cuz i really dont want to install everything again >.<
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cLick1338:
No you don't. You only need to wipe cache and dalvik cache. It's written in the first post too so read it more carefully next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ivang2:
Yes man u dont have to be rude i read it i was just not sure
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Try this: http://xdaforums.com/android/help/android-5-0-lollipop-user-profile-photo-t2939546

It might work. It's not really like the problem you have, but there seems to be a connection with profile picture. Worth trying.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] neohq:
Worked like a charm ! I Installed Google+, made those steps and the image was updated with the one from my google account and now everything is working and the User menu is available again.

Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Glad I could help!

Now that you pointed out this problem, maybe they can fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Tuupmeister:
Thanks for the link but CWM nor TWRP will flash in the recovery mode :( It starts, but it ends before installing is complete with an error. It seems I can't get rid off the Cyanogen recovery update :crying: Not good because i can not wipe dalvik cache.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
You can try with Odin. It is explained in that thread how to do it.

Hello all.

After more than a week i can say that the rom works great and i had no problem. But one thing bothers me, i have 80% used of my battery in 23h 18m with 15min phone, 17min screen, 23h radio, 22min wifi, 1.5h held awake and 19min BT. I have version 5.3.4 and done the tutorial with greenfiy. What else can i do to increase the battery life?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
As I suggested back in a post, it's best too turn off Google Now and Google Location Reporting from Google Settings -> Location - Google Location Reporting and make sure all are Off. Also you can use amplify if you still have wakelocks or alarms that won't let your phone sleep. Someone suggested to turn off wakeup and keep awaked for Play Services. You can do this by going to Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Menu -> Advanced and in the tab Location search for Google Play services and tap on it, here you turn off Wake up and Keep awake. If you battery is still healthy you should get around 2 days of battery with wi-fi on most of the time and more than 3h of screen on. In standby you should get 3-4 days.

These are my stats right now:

I kinda put it to hard work, you know how it is when you have a new os, you can't let the phone down.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DDeler:
Again with my battery

Yesterday I went out with about 70% of battery.

In one hour and a half listening to music: 0%.

I think I'll by a new battery at this point, hoping to solve this problem (even if it lasts more with stock rom, but who knows)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shebu18:
Thank you nIGhT-SoN for your recommendations. Everything is already as you sad. Maybe a new battery or phone is recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
You can also set sync on manual or on longer period on certain apps, this will save some battery life. For example you don't need weather updates every 30min. I think 2-4h is more than enough. Same goes with news readers.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] johnHooke:
Hi. After a week or so using this rom i discoverd this problems.

Took a sod for an hour or so after i locked he phone (at boot battery droped 30%)

Changing from 2g to 3g is kinda slow and it is not corectly represented in notification bar(takes a few good seconds to change).

Tiles dont work too good.

Some programs are not corectly interpreted by the system and locks the phone while i use them(one is a foscam ultilty program wich i use to monitor my baby through an ip camera). This didn't happen on stock. I guess this can be cuz the program is not optimized for lp.

Some basic setings dont stick at reboot and i mean smthing as simple as the volum on an alarm...almost got a heartattack one morning when the alarm started at maxim volum. Also privacy guard setings are not consistant. Some times they stick and other times go back to default on reboot.

Thats all for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
- The battery drop is a Samsung problem. Had it on stock samsung rom too. After a bunch of reboots it drops from, let's say, 70% to 50% or something similar.

- Changing from 2G to 3G, this might be a bug in the latest version. Connection to cell tower is slower than in previous release, but I bet it will be fixed in 5.3.7.

- Tiles, dunno what you mean, here works fine. The flashlight tile gave some problems a while back but now it seems to be ok.

- About apps, didn't had any locks from what I remember. It might be that doesn't work with LP.

- Settings not sticking on reboots I can say I don't have that problem. Did a lot of reboots to install xposed, xposed modules, doing backups, although about alarm, ringtone, notification, volume I can't be sure since I use AudioGuru to auto set my sound profile based on time of the day.

- As for Privacy guard, I didn't changed a lot in there, but what I've changed is still there, didn't lost settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Tuupmeister:
Thanks guys for trying to help me, but i was thinking. If i mess up flashing to a new recovery via Odin, for example i get an bootloop, I can't get back to my nandroid. Because there is no option in Cyanogen Recovery Update to backup/restore :(

So a question toGHs:, will there be a fix for Cyanogen Recovery Update in de next ROM update? ROM works perfectly fine, but I don't like the idea of not being able to backup/restore.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] naskodeuces:
Should i buy a new battery ? Location is off all the time , privacy like google play and other "google" stuff are off ( keep awake - off ,location - off etc.) i use greenfy and my screen brightness is at 0., and still my battery can not last a day :\

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kajar9:
You can disable in settings>coinfigurations>interface>navigation bar settings. Just disable it from there
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mvlad:
It has to have value 1, not 0.

When you go to the settings there is a menu called configurations>interface>navigation bar options>enable and disable it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Yeungers:
That's the problem of your recovery. Nothing to do with this ROM. Try this recovery, the best to date IMO http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2-plus/development/recovery-philztouch-samsung-galaxy-s2-t2921251

PS: there is also online nandriod backup from the play store. You can back up with that app

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
I wouldn't recommend using that. I've used it and when I tried to restore it wouldn't boot back. Had to flash again. Maybe they fixed it, but once burned I wouldn't try again. Better make a backup from recovery mode.

I remember that it's a Lollipop issue, in due to bad reading SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Try clearing cache for Gallery.

About new version, it seem to connect faster to cell tower. The first boot it was slow, but when I rebooted it was faster. Maybe someone can confirm it too. Also, flashlight tile works really nice now, it doesn't disappear for a split second anymore, it acts as it should.

Great work, thank you very much!

Facebook Messenger Misssing Cursor

Hello,

I just registered here and this is my first post. I like very much this Rom and just flashed 5.3.7 update. Really pleased from the Rom's performance. I would like to ask you about the Facebook - Messenger application, while i'm typing I can't see the cursor, is missing. I have this problem only with messenger and i'm using Swiftkey keyboard. Does anyone have this "small problem", saw a post from a friend saying he has the same problem but I did not see a solution about. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot and i'm sorry for my english.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
Yes, I have the cursor problem too in certain apps. This was a problem in previous versions too. Using Swype here.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] johnHooke:
Having problems on 5.3.7. Alarm app crushing when setting sound.the performance tile is not responding (icon is not changing at all). Tried update and clean install, non worked. Went back to 5.3.5.( got flashlight tile bug now, it disappears for split second)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kajar9:
Try clearing all data of alarm clock app in app info (clean install might do the trick aswell). Works for me.

Also, try clearing cache and dalvik cache in recovery if the above didn't work.

Performance tile is currently broken because it's functionality is completely changed since 5.3.6. If you don't see performance settings tab at all in settings, Disable and enable developer options. Then it shows up. - I'm not sure why they didn't update or remove the tile in 5.3.7 if it is currently not set up properly for the new settings. Before they had locked performance modes, now you have customization capabilities down to clock speed and clock governor etc. Basically new functionality is not implemented in the tile.... likely that fix is coming soon though.

The flashlight tile problem magically fixes itself over small period of time. - don't ask me why.... you'll see that it works after a few hours/a day or so.... (try to reboot a few times aswell). It has been experienced on many versions of this rom.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Aleksandar Radetic:
Hi !

First of all, I want to thank to this entire community for everything they have done for us, users :D I had Tattoo, Xperia Mini and now S2 Plus (AxxionKat) which have all been successfully rooted and worked like charm.

Now, I tried to use this ROM but after I wiped data and cache partition, and formated system, cache and data I found myself in boot loop for over 10 minutes with Resurrection Remix animation popping in and out of screen, which I think is boot loop.

Is my problem caused by wrong recovery (and if so, which one should or could I use ?) or something else ?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] cracker12:
Lollipop roms take more time to boot... If the cause is the recovery use the last twrp or cwm philztouch both of haky :)

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] ZaVukodlaK:
Why is the carrier text so small?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kajar9:
If your goal is to get more screen real-estate, make the whole screen smaller etc.

I suggest you use this app: (NOMone Resolution Changer)

My personal settings are

Width: 600

Height: 1000

DPI: 240

25% increase. It looks good, apps UI-s look a lot better and text is readable and buttons are big enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Vasya7255:
I tried your method and now I can't make screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] nIGhT-SoN:
I don't suggest messing with the DPI, you'll get some strange behavior on some sliders, or the dot will be a little over the line, or under, not on the middle. Believe me, the stock one is more than ok. You can use Nova Launcher and make icons bigger or smaller if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] kajar9:
Indeed, although resetting to default res it makes it work again... odd.
