I flashed 5.4.2 this morning and I like to change bootanimation. Has anyone any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _followers_:
try to search any bootanimation you like and put it in system/media overyt the old 1.. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] matteo2:
When I try do this I always have bootloop

With last update 5.4.2 when I exit from some apps using back button I have recent panel. Is this a new feature/option or only my issue?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] _followers_:
yah me too when sometime i exit some apps it directly to recent but not a big deal to me...you have to use bootanimation that compatible to s2 for example from other rom you have to get that bootanimaton and put it inthe system/media and you have to put proper permission.... for me i delete all notification and ring tone and put my desire tones and boot animation with no probz at all.. :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Giobio:
I attached a few bootanimations I saved. You have to rename it in bootanimation and then overwrite it into system/media the stock one. Finally change permissions. Enjoy

Edit: Blacked Out! - CM12 Theme has a nice bootanimation too
[Galaxy S II Android Development] matteo2:
I disable back to kill from developers option and maybe I resolv the problem...

Have you got video preview? I think that cm based rom needs themes to change bootanimation, is it wrong?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Giobio:
Yes, it does.

You can change the stock cm bootanimation when you want.

I did not record any video.

Just flashed new build (5.4.2) today. Working great! :good:

A couple of issue:

1. Random Messeging FC.

2. I cannot write/edit system files. example: When i paste new bootanimation in system/media, i get a "operation failed" message using CM File Manager and using ES File Explorer I get a "not enough space" message.

I did a clean install (full wipe). Anyone else experience these?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _followers_:
for me everything is fine when i delete and add some apps in the system, BTW i delete cmfile manager i use FX file manager cuz it automatically have a permission access you dont have to put a permission every time u add or replace in system.. this ROM is smooth and great with good battery... :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] matteo2:
I installed Dark Material theme - CM12 and the bootanimation is the same (also developer is the same).

Thank you very much

[Galaxy S II Android Development] CarpeDiem_PT:
same thing here, i wanted to change bootanimation.zip and after an hour, i realized i only had 0,05mb free, and what i wanted to copy was bigger....

so, i am now checking what can i do free space in system folder... in the meanwhile i'll just delete some fonts and ringtones that i (hope to) don't need,`and BOOM, 57,79MB free...

hope to have been usefull to the very same people that like me struggled with this issue!

btw, this rom is so fast, that from boot to system, if the phone didn't overheat so much, i would reckon to have a brand new SG i9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I have used CWM since I flashed my first ROM maybe 18mths ago and it's always been great. No complaints at all. However I recently read (I forget where) that CWM will no longer be updated or supported. If this is the case, I'd be interested in trying out TWRP. For that to happen, it appears I'll need to flash a custom kernel. Is that still correct? (chknsld suggested so earlier in the thread).

I've been reading for the last 6 hours and I now have about 40 tabs open in my browser and I'm just getting more and more lost. :eek: I've drifted off onto posts about AOSP, CM Official/unofficial, Mali drivers, Synapse support and who knows what else that is way beyond my knowledge. I always try to find my own answers before I ask a question but honestly, I'm just getting a headache at this stage.

I'm hoping for some suggestions about;

- Would I indeed need to flash a custom kernel like Apolo or Gustavos to get TWRP?

- Would changing the kernel create conflict/stability issues within this ROM?

- If it's worth trying, any suggestions regarding a stable choice? (I don't care about fancy tweaking options, just stability and battery).

* Just out of curiosity, is there a possibility that this ROM (or any ROM for that matter) could be offered with a choice of recoveries or kernels? Is there a reason devs choose one or the other or just personal preference maybe?

I hope this isn't OT - I post here because I think my questions are ultimately specific to this ROM which I want to keep.

Thanks for any advice.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wdevil12:
In short, yeah you are right. our device's recovery is in kernel image so you need to flash custom kernels to get TWRP. try with Apolo. its kernels come with different recoveries/voltages to choose. Gustavo kernels are outdated to use with 5.1.x
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dungm:
It seems my phone lost root, when I tried to delete the system apk i.e. FManager, it was saying my phone is not rooted. I am using kernel Apolo btw.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gsainath4u:
Did you flash the ROM recently??

After every flash, go to Developer Options and enable root for "Apps" or "Apps and ADB" based on your choice.

I think you should flash superSu after flashing this ROM...after you flash this rom you have to flash the superSU and then the Gapps. :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] threehappypenguins:
Is Netflix working for the latest build?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gsainath4u:
Yeah, I forgot about that step. This ROM is not rooted by default. WE need to flash SuperSU to get root access.

And then we need to enable it in developer options, if you still do not have root access.

Also note that the order is important as some people have reported issues if the order is not followed.

ROM -> SuperSU -> GApps
[Galaxy S II Android Development] WeBMaZTaH:
I think netflix still have issues with lollipop. Try using any kitkat roms.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] threehappypenguins:
Thanks for your reply. It's possible to have Netflix on custom Lollipop ROM's, but apparently the latest Widevine DRM blobs need to be imported to the ROM. A custom Lollipop ROM for the Nexus, for example, has Netflix working. I asked the developer what he did, and he said this: "I imported the latest widevine DRM blobs from a nexus device (manta in my case, because I needed Exynos blobs)."

Oh well... lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] WeBMaZTaH:
AFAIK, all cm12.1 roms for our S2 doesn't have the blobs needed for netflix. I maybe wrong though.

Sorry but I can't help you wth that anymore. I saw that you post this in different threads specially on lollipop roms and nobody is replying. [emoji12]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I thought I recalled you posting about Netflix not working previously. Looking at your last dozen posts, you are clearly on a mission to get Netflix working.

Have you considered contacting Netflix to ask them about Lollipop compatibility?

Have you considered reverting to KitKat until it's working properly on Lollipop?

Either of those options will likely yield better outcomes for you than *sigh*ing on XDA threads. ;)

EDIT: the kettle boiled half way through my reply and I noticed your comment about Nexus/widevine DRM blobs after I posted. Maybe our old trusty GS2 isn't going to get any Netflix love for Lollipop any time soon. Maybe stick with KitKat for now unless you want to spend on a newer device just for Netflix?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dungm:
Thanks, I just followed the Rom dev instruction: ROM-->Gapps-->install SuperSu

Can you send me the proper SuperSU for flashing? I've tried to install and update thru the Google Market but all failed.

Dirty re-flashing the ROM did not work. The only way is clean re-flashing with fully wipe? :(

Problem solved after work around the google, tap the Build Number 07 times to enable the Developer Option.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _followers_:
does anyone has an idea how to increase more sound i mean all sound like notification ringer and music sound even i configure the viper4 the tones is low ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chcknsld:
Apolo kernel has a sound amplifier. You can try that if you like or you can play around with Viper's settings.. or you can search for an app that can boost all the volumes.

On the other hand, after some time with 5.4.2. I experienced random reboots for like once a day (possible cause: dirty flashed from 5.4.1?). The good news is the keyboard freezing issue is gone from 5.4.1. I had no major issues yet with 5.4.2 and the overall performance is much better than the previous build. Kudos [MENTION=4817632]varund7726[/MENTION]! I'm waiting for 5.1.1. :cowboy:

Hello,

I'm having the same issue with updating Google apps from play store. Every time I update it downloads OK but when installing update phone soft reboots than hangs. After hard reset it boots up to optimizing apps. I check to see if the app is updated but it didn't update, still the old version.

Using latest RR with banks gapps-4-16 and Apolo kernel v8 beta 9.

Both of you are using the same custom kernel. Stop complaining here if you're not using stock kernel. Try reverting back to stock and when that same problem occurred, it's the right time to post here about it.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
Hello guys!

I installed this Rom yesterday and at first everything seemed fine, up to the point when I suddenly encountered that all data on my Internal sdcard was missing and it had been reformatted to vfat (used to be formatted as ext4).

The dataloss is not the issue, I have a backup, but in my opinion it is a big no-no, if operation systems start formatting storages without their user's consent, don't you agree? (especially when it's formatting to crappy outdated MS-DOS filesystems, lol)

Did anybody else ever encounter anything like this?

I have now reformatted to ext4 and restored my data, but I will definitely keep an eye on this strange behaviour...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chcknsld:
Right from the start since I use RR I didn't encountered such formatting issues when flashing without user's consent. Could be with the recovery you use to flash RR. I highly recommend using CWM-KitKatCompatible as recovery whenever you're about to flash (clean) RR. It's what I do every time and I haven't encountered a single issue regarding flashing any LP ROMs.

Credits to whoever made this recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
It didn't happen during flash, I had ext4 internal memory up and running in RR, and later it was reformatted.

However, I just found a new possible explanation. Maybe it was Chainfire's Triangle Away, which I used one time, since I fumbled with PIT-files before my flash. I suppose that TA does not expect the internal SD to be in ext4 and maybe did the format during it's reboot/kernel-patching procedure.

At the moment this theory sound's quite probable to me and if it doesn't happen again, I will just assume it was Triangle Away and will be happy :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chcknsld:
I'm also using ext4 internal memory.

Now that you said it, I quite remember an issue with TA the same as yours which formatted my internal SD. After flashing it boot up and when I checked the internal storage with ES file explorer, the available memory says 0.00b or something. I had to reboot for a temporary solution but it still persist. I think it went away when I reflashed the ROM 'cause I don't have to use TA again. lol
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
Well in this case it probably really was TA. Since TA is a one-time-use-then-uninstall app anyways, it will probably be okay now :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] chcknsld:
Yup. TA is only needed after repartitioning. Glad we sorted it out because it never was RR's fault. :) :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
Just one more question: Is the format of dates customizable somewhere, or is this a bug in the German (any maybe other?) locale?

The dates as displayed on the screenshot should be 26.04.2015, not 04.26.2015. This format is nonsense in this region of the world, nobody writes it like that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] matko.l:
Is there anyone who works "OK Google" with Google search on last rr 5.1 ?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
I s anyone able to read QR-Codes with latest RR?

I always used the app "Barcode Scanner" from Playstore without problems, also on Lollipop with my Nexus7.

But on RR on SGS2, the app just keeps messing around and refuses to read a single QR-code. It seems to me like a problem with the camera driver - can anybody confirm?

EDIT: Can confirm that the same happens with other QR scanner apps too. The colored dots, that normally indicate a recognized code fly all around the screen and no code is ever recognized. I'm quite surprised that nobody has mentioned that before on this thread (or I didn't find it). Is this a known bug that's being worked on?

Yes, "OK Google" works for me, using PA Gapps Pico (uni). I installed Google search manually from Playstore, as it's not included with Pico.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] WeBMaZTaH:
It used to be in the Settings > Date & time. Now it's nowhere there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BluePhnx:
You can find date format in:

Settings/Configurations/Interface/Status Bar/Clock and Date look for date format.

This affects only statusbar, not the dates that are shown in the screenshots.

If this is not a known camera-bug that's being worked on, I will probably abandon RR, as a rom without QR scanning ability is worthless for me... I need this a lot.

QR Code Reader was working fine for me on v5.4.2-20150420-i9100.

I've tried a few different LP ROMS and RR has been the best so far. If you think it's a camera bug, maybe try a different camera app before abandoning this awesome ROM. RR has been close to perfect for me.

Search PS for Call Recorder?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
Sorry to hear about your phone mate :(

Don't get me wrong, I don't really want to abandon this rom, it's just that I don't know how to fix this problem. I already tried to install Google Camera, but I think the problem is that none of all these QR Scanner apps care about which camera app you use, as they address the camera directly through the driver.

So there has to be some difference in your setup, compared to mine. Did you use a kernel different than stock? Which Gapps package?

Your help is highly appreciated! [emoji106]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ahmed:
I don't understand version numbering of yours. In one part you write 5.4.2 and in another part 5.1 (which is right for LP). But what do you mean by the 5.4.2 version number? Why is it higher than possible version number of LP?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Giobio:
Both are correct: 5.4.2 is the version of Varund rom using Android version 5.1
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Arwany:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I really searched before posting, and just found two guys asking about it (my bad, I am bad at searching either)...

Anyway, thanks again. I will try it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gsainath4u:
As already explained by [MENTION=5845001]Giobio[/MENTION] above, both are correct.

The Android version on which this ROM is based on is 5.1. This is the newest version of Lollipop. :)

[MENTION=4817632]varund7726[/MENTION] increments the build version for almost all the releases. So 5.4.2 is the latest build. The next build may be named as 5.4.3

If the new build contains a bigger set of changes that the current one, he can bump the version as 5.5.0 ;)

This is similar to how Cyanogen names its builds. Ofcourse they stick to some standard.

CM12 is 5.0 Lollipop; whereas CM12.1 is 5.1 Lollipop. (L is the 12th letter in the alphabet ;) Hence Lollipop is CM12)

Please keep in mind that [MENTION=4817632]varund7726[/MENTION] is the official maintainer for several devices apart from I9100. So he may have built for another device.

This definitely means that a new build is right around the corner. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I used the stock kernel and the 5.1 Gapps Minimal Edition (20150404) from http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330 as well as the bloatware removal script from the same page.

I can't think of anything else that might be useful except that I always do a FULL wipe including format /system, etc before I flash a new ROM - even just updating one. A lot of people like to dirty flash but I find the extra time to fully wipe/format/setup has saved me more time chasing problems later. So if you didn't do a full wipe, maybe there's some remnant data causing a conflict somewhere and a clean flash might help ???

Good luck. Hopefully someone smarter than me can be of assistance! :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys,

will give this a last chance, hope one of you have a useful advice for me.

This is what I extactly did a week ago....

First days, everything was fine, after some days, there came the random OS freezes, 1-2 the first days, today, i have to force reboot my phone about 5-6 times. Phone is very hot....I dont get this. :confused:

This is sooo sad, using this ROM for about 5 month....and since 5.1 there are this annoying problems...

I have standard kernel, banks gapps, always the same apps installed.

Does anyone else have these experience?

Looks like I have to go back to 4.4.4 :crying:

Will this work with i777 using the stock kernel?

Ik that some work with only the buttons not working, and if thats the problem the navigation bar is the fix.

Anyone know about this?

EDIT:

Working Great, no need for any other kernels,

just use GAPPS provided and the rom 5.4.2, and reboot.

DONE!

Thanks to all the devs of this rom
