Android is weird like this

Different things seem to work differently on different phones if you know what I mean.

I tried RR and CM 5.1 and had bootloop no matter what I tried and how I held my mouth.

This beta 6 is great. I extended the system partition and data to 1gb/4 before flashing it.

Home button doesn't work but it's not a biggie for me.

The best thing is that xposed works, so I can stream spotify via bubbleupnp to my nice stereo again, which both my asus tf101 and galaxy tab won't do running lp , so I'm back to 4.4 on them for now.

5.1 Lollipop does seem faster and smoother, with better battery.

Boot takes an age though.

edit:

Re-installed triangle away (the re-partition brought it back) and got a hang on the splash screen which clearing some caches didn't fix, a dirty reflash of the ROM seems to have fixed it and no triangle cross fingers.

edit edit:

My sim issues are non existent after making a massive change in the baseband some time ago. It was a Chinese phone and I changed the baseband to something completely unrelated (CHxxx to XXxxx) - international now.

Maybe experimenting with modems and basebands can help with the sim issues? Speaking out of ignorance...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalivos:
yes, same problem here

unfortunate for me its happen on all kernel :crying:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Android-Freak2012:
Problems with unofficial version of Xposed installation on my LP 5.1:

After install of xposed-arm-20150308-5.1.zip on my 5.1-ROM I have a Bootloop
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
I think if you want a fully working Xposed, stay on KK for now, Xposed is not yet fully compatible with LP, especially not with 5.1

There is nothing the ROM developers can do here.

Two problems:

GPS is always active

Signal drops

To "fix" I have o reboot phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iankovski:
Running this ROM for two days here. Very stable, all android features running very well, no problems so far. But, I have two problems:

can't find how to enable advanced reboot (soft, recovery)

can't find slim center too.

Anyone knows how to solve it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] WeBMaZTaH:
It is enabled by default for the advanced power options. For slim center, I think it's in the settings app. Not sure though. I left SlimLP a month a go now. Sorry. [emoji17]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] iankovski:
Thanks, but can't find yet. I was running RR, best ROM, but my 3G and GPS aren't working on it. SlimLP running smoothly but hasn't the same features.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] WeBMaZTaH:
Which one you can't find? I remember now that Advanced Reboot is enabled by default. Hold your power button and press Reboot and everything will show up.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
The advanced reboot toggle options have been added. A lot of customizations have also been done on the Git. Would release a new build soon.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] wembleyy:
Great news!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
New Update

Hey Guys,

It is, perhaps, taking a lot of time for the Slim Team to fix all the internal stuff. In the new build, we have brought some customizations back, some keyboard and translation fixes, and a lot more. I'll upload the new build by today, along with the full changelog. Just testing some other things.

Stay Tuned!

Thanks, and Regards! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NoSpamDan:
We had to start from scratch, and it IS coming along. Not sure what you mean by internal stuff because the source builds 5.1.1 now. Some features here and there are forthcoming, along with a TRDS Quick Settings tile, I believe...

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
By saying internal stuff I meant the new website, new gerrit, introducing crowdin, and of course, 5.1.1. TRDS would be awesome ! :)

Regards!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wembleyy:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Android-Freak2012:
Does function the "SlimLP_Kernel.zip" with the Beta7 then now (without Bootloop after flashing the Kernel)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] WeBMaZTaH:
[MENTION=5419355]warrior1208[/MENTION] i really liked ALL your ROMS (PA, SlimLP & SlimSaber) but, would it be possible to add more notification/ring tones? It kinda lacked on that part.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Download some ringtones and put it to system/media/notification-ringtones and set permissions for your sounds to rw-r-r then reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dr AM:
Or just put them into Ringtone folder in internal sdcard if there is no folder with that name just create one and put your ringtones there :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wihushae:
What about the national roaming issue which google ignores since several years?

Will the slimteam fix it in their roms?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shiftyHungary:
I don't see it anywhere, but is this built with Uber toolchain? Is there a way to make a build with Uber, as it was really great with 5.0.2 and 4.4.4 Slim ROM's. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Built with linaro 4.8. Its in the thread title :) Uber seems great though in my experience!

I think(correct me if I'm wrong) using a different toolchain may keep it from ever being official
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tiagosantos88:
More stable then cm12 by lysergic acid

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

Camera stable enough? Force closes? How about translations PT-PT over all rom, qr code bug? Gps wifi, overall... awesome play scubbing force closes? Signal drops and soft reboot i'm tired of touchwizzz...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cyril279:
Perhaps you should try slimsaber 5.x: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-slimsaber-t3079949

I recall reading that the toolchain choice was up to the device maintainer. Officcial i9100 slim 4.4 was built with a custom toolchain:

https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_samsung_i9100/blob/kk4.4/BoardConfig.mk#L30
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shiftyHungary:
I tried it also, and though I had mixed experience with 5.x ROM's, like CM, PA, and s on, this one was rolling great. Though I'd like to have a ROM based on 5.1, or 5.1.1 built with Uber, as the ROM you've linked gave me yet the best LP experience, but I could use the memory leak fixes of 5.1.

Of course this isn't the jukebox thread, maybe I myself would have to build it if I want to use one (if I had any time to do it LOL :D )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noctis Lucis Caelum:
On SlimSaber i checked the"Disable HW overlays" option and video playback works without issue.

Now just trying to see if there is any side effect to this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dr AM:
This is a workaround not a fix and the side effects are lower video quality and sometimes battery drains faster on s/w decoders
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noctis Lucis Caelum:
My battery life hasn't changed, and i use mx player all my videos plays on HW+ and the quality has not changed.

I can also play HEVC files with easy, so those issues you mentioned, i don't have them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
OP says camera is working. Is front camera and video HD recording in the camera both working?

These are problematic in CM12, thus users have to use the APK from CM11 or an alternative.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Troubadour666:
its what i hope and wait for :)

RRO in this ROM and then i try it .

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Yup,

that's what SlimRoms' team says,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nightshadow931:
[MENTION=5419355]warrior1208[/MENTION], will you consider becoming an official maintainer ? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Firstly, as I said, I would fix all the remaining bugs mentioned in the OP. After the bugs are fixed, I would consider developing SlimSaber and if you guys recommend me then I would surely go ahead to become the official maintainer. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dr AM:
Wow !! Can't believe this !! SlimLP for our S2 !!

Thank you for your hard work

Can't wait for future releases man! Thanks for everything you're doing!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pierx:
Of course we will recommend you :D

There is a problem thought, I haven't able to flash this rom, downloaded twice md5 matched, but keep getting "Error executing updater binary in zip ..." when flashing . It seems i have to wait for the next build.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Thank you everybody for your support. :D

Umm, that seems to be strange. I tried all the builds before uploading. I also flashed this ROM using a lot of recoveries, just to make sure.

I have used PhilZ Touch recovery, TWRP 2.8.2.0 and TWRP 2.8.5.0, and the ROM has successfully flashed and booted up. :D

Maybe a download error?:confused:

Thanks for your wishes

[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Alpha#3

Okay guys, I have partially fixed the recovery. But, to use the recovery, you have to press the VOLUME UP+POWER+HOME BUTTON all at the same time. The configuration from the power menu is still not perfect. Would need to work more on that.

CHANGELOG:

Updated Slim Sources.

Fixed recovery(USE IT WITHOUT THE POWER MENU BUTTON).

Added support for RRO layers.

Added different battery style icons and battery percentage options.

Added Ambient Display feature(and additional settings).

BUILD WOULD BE UP BY TOMORROW.

:D

Another request: Guys, I have my annual exams coming up in a few days. My exams would get over on the 9th of March. I would not be developing/fixing things till the 9th of March. I hope you guys understand.

WOULD CONTINUE TO FIX THINGS UP AFTER 9th OF MARCH.

Thank you [MENTION=4460995]sooti[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION] for providing us with the fix for the recovery.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] blinoff82:
What do u mean?:confused::confused::confused: You contradicts himself.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
He means that the 'Reboot to recovery' from the Power menu is not working.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
To access recovery, you have to press the VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER buttons. You cannot access the recovery from the power MENU(ADVANCED REBOOT OPTIONS - WHEN YOU PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON). :)

Would fix things after 9th March now. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
Hello guys!

I'm currently searching for a nice LP rom for my SGS2. Before I try out this one, can anybody please confirm for me that QR-code scanning is functional in this rom?

Right now I'm testing CM12.1 RR and am experiencing major problems with QR codes, regardless of which app I use, so I assume it's a problem with the camera driver. I just don't know if it's a general LP thing on SGS2 or if it would be better with SlimLP.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dr AM:
Quality changes on 1080p videos and battery I told you "sometimes" drains faster when watching videos , I didn't try latest build , had these problems on previous builds so maybe new updates fixes some of these problems but the developer didn't mention it :)

Well , will try latest build and see :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wembleyy:
The installation went well, used Slim_zero_gapps.BETA.5.1.x . First boot, didnt have time to smoke one cigarette, so it was fast. After 2 hours ...i miss beta5

- home button does not wake the Phone. I always use this button, now irritating becaus instinctively i press that button.

- gallery works, but when i try to edit a photo : "unfortunately , Gallery has stopped"

- no more option in Settings to change the Default DPI - but that it can be fixed with apps form play store (i have default pit, no space for many apps)

- no device manager to close apps form time to time (nothing happend when i have long pressed the home button)

- i can't set the battery icon to show percent / form time to time i check my battery level (2 clicks: wake / close device). Sure...there are apps for that too, but i really want a clean phone, only apps that we all use... i want my s2 as smooth as posible.

- no more slim sounds (open/close phone), this is not a problem, but i liked them a lot

-no hardwer buttons configuration settings. I didnt used custom config, but i noticed that it is missing (under interface, in settings)

I can not say anything about the stability yet, to soon. Nor battery life.

Thanks [MENTION=5419355]warrior1208[/MENTION], your work is appreciated :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noctis Lucis Caelum:
Was just offering you an alternative option use it or don't, its up to you.

Beside like i said it is on SlimSaber 5.0.2 and not SlimLp, some of of the problems mentioned here are not on the SlimSaber rom, like hardware key not responding........
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
[MENTION=5294352]cyril279[/MENTION] has provided me the fixes for the home button wake up and some signal issues. I'll integrate them in the ROM soon. Also, the AOSP Ringtones would be added soon. The team is working.

...I don't have the solution for home-button wake, The i777 doesn't have a tactile home button, so I have never looked into this. The overlay addition will make long-press-home default to recent-apps.

Slim gerrit is blazing right now, likely gearing up for a first alpha release with custom settings. :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Android-Freak2012:
Hi Guys...! :)

In all those which complain here to missing possibilities of various settings or ask whether this and which is still made up in later builds:

That the awake function with the home button does not or not yet function or the accu display not circularly and with %-display is, are nevertheless, not absolutely the most important things to work with build...

Nevertheless, waits simply for the still following updates. It is finally not more than a beta a version, so a test version...!!!

For me would be still relatively important to know whether the "SlimLP_Kernel.zip" function now with this build, because with the beta6-build there came a bootloop after flashing the "SlimLP_Kernel.zip"...

No matter in which direction, just say yes, I got it and I'll try to fix it, or no, if the slimteam doesn't do anything I also do nothing.

But please give a reply!! :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
I am so sorry for that. Didn't mean to ignore you, I just don't know what roaming issue you are facing. Can you explain a bit more, so that I can go deep in the problem?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] wihushae:
Have a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2973797 or here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2420249

The problem occurs through virtual provider, that means the provider A has its own network, provider X starts and rents provider A structure.

Now the phone thinks oh, I have a sim from X, but I'm registered to network A so it must be roaming

But it is only national roaming which means the network of Provider A is in fact the homenetwork for the customer of Provider X.

Afaik it's realized with the mnc code, but I'm not a Dev, just a poweuser, so I don't know the exact details. Perhaps the national roaming works with the same mcc code...

I hope i could give you some infos for deeper research!

The major problem is that you don't get data connection if you don't enable international roaming, but if you do so, and travel around in your homecountry or live near the boarder to a foreign country and your mobile loggs into a real roaming network form this foreign country your phone bill raises dramatically!! :(

In cyanogenmod it's realized with a separate national roaming option,

And samsung stock roms (only they) somehow do not need this nation option, here data works without any special settings, don't know how they do it...

Did you get the problem now?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
I'm not sure whether I can fix that. But, I'll look more into it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wihushae:
I've added a few more lines to my upper post.

I also don't know if you are the right man, I think the slimteam should pack this feature in all their roms, but as you are a member of them now, perhaps you can suggest it to them!

This would be a big benefit for all users then, not only for the one with the s2

It piss me off i dont have device manager... but the staility is more important to me :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Klaus20:
Is there already a solution ??

The numbers in the input are arranged differently

Typically 123 - 456 - 789 - 0 - Enter.

Now 635 - 094 - 721 - 8 - Enter

After each restart I have another numeric keypad

4 tests:

635 - 094 - 721 - 8 - Enter

635 - 721 - 904 - 8 - Enter

185 - 027 - 436 - 9 - Enter

965 - 704 - 821 - 3 - Enter

Now I have the worst case - my PIN Card isn't working anymore - some ideas ??

**********

This time it was a bit difficult to install the update it stuck always at the Slim Logo (for hours).

For all have similar problems

The sulution was:

Restore previus version from recovery

Export contakts

Backup with Mybackup

Full wipe + mount system + format system.

Flash new Rom - reboot

Flash Gapps - reboot

Flash supersu - reboot

Install Mybackup from playstore

Restore apk's and date with mybackup

Import contaks

*********

So far everything is going well - BT I could not test.

For me would be still relatively important to know whether the "SlimLP_Kernel" function now with beta7-build! With the beta5-build functioned of the SlimLP_Kernel perfectly, with the beta6-build it came to a bootloop...!
