Just a few pics

Getting long battery life on Apolo kernel -V2 uv and tweaks, plus Power Nap (Xposed), Smart Network (Xposed), Greenify (Xposed), a lot of disabled services and oh yeah Amplify (Xposed). Ended up the day i took these with close to 6 ours of screen time.

Stable too.

p.s. Please do not PM me for settings of what options i have turned on in xxxxxx app or which services ive disabled, theyre easily found by using the forum search. Its not rocket science or magic to get decent battery life, use the search function, thats how i got the settings i use :) Sorry, but had to put this in, was getting tired of PM's asking for all my settings...gets a bit tiring after the milliontyith time. Also what works for me may not work for you....

Hi guys,

OK, I am new to LP and have been jumping around ROMs now because none are the way they used to. I loved Slim and decided to come back here but a few things are still bugging me. I hope you guys can maybe help me out a little bit.

1. How can I deactivate cellbroadcasts without freezing the app? Other ROMs like RR let you deactivate it in the settings menu

2. Are there any working layers? I tried Milos and TimberWolf and neither works. One doesn't work at all and the other turns up weird colors.

3...and most important: LockScreen behaviour: I set my security to PIN. Now when I wake up the device I always have to wipe the lockscreen away so I can enter my PIN. I would like to wake my device up to the PIN-keypad directly. I have always had this behaviour in other ROMs. Really miss it.

Any help would be great!

Hello, to everybody here!

Today I would like to report that I say goodbye now to this and other Samsung thread under and the range of the Samsung-Smartphones, because I have changed now on a new Smartphone what fulfils my needs (for my company, among other things DualSIM etc.) better than the good old S2!

Is there a solution for this "not enough space" error while flashing gapps?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Noctis Lucis Caelum:
Try using smaller gapps if you are on stock partition.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Drhedphuk:
You could also install SD Maid and clean corpse finder, system cleaner, app cleaner, duplicates & databases. You'll be amazed how much space it frees up.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leechseed:
Zero - cant go any smaller.

I dont think that sdmaid would clean more than a manual fullwipe.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] akiwiz:
Better flash a 1gb system pit
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leechseed:
Just because of some changes in gapps i should flash a pit? Id rather try other gapps, eventough i would have to unistall so many apks / or remove them before the flash.

Btw heres tge log im posting also in official slim gapps thread.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Drhedphuk:
Just can't help some people. I clean flash every time as well as using Hawkerpauls wipe scripts. I flash with gapps that are a little over 40mb. But SD Maid will still clean an extra 20 -50 MB after initial flash. I an on stock partition and in a regular basis will get the 'Not enough space' notification when trying to install or flash an app. After a quick clean with SD Maid and 250mb lighter, voila! No problem. You could also move apps to SD card.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Troubadour666:
Hi,

The gapps i used are on the pic.

After ronm, in recovery, i flashes beta + muti-dpi. Never trouble. Try to find june version like me. I havent see july release yet. I'm on stock pit.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kai1313:
im never using this rom yet, but when i flash another lp rom when still on stock PIT i used this gapps and works fine

and do some wipe with hawkerpaul script its very helpful
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
You can flash smaller GApps as much as you want, after a few weeks you will have the same issue again.

There is no way around flashing a new PIT. I just did and it really is necessary.

On a different note, is Slim Beta still being updated? I do not mean to seem impatient. But a lot of ROMs for the S2 have slowly faded away :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Hi,

All of my ROMs are still being continued, and they would not be betrayed till I announce(not soon, at least :p)

Recently, I have been trying to get AOSPA officially supported, but seems like the team doesn't want to support the "OLD PHONES" anymore. You all can check out the AOSPA-LEGACY Google Plus community for my post or go on to http://gerrit.aospal.com and check the abandoned section to find the S2-Support commit.

Stay tuned.:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
It may be necessary for you, but I've never had any reason to repartition. The way the /system works, if the rom + base system apps fit into the stock /system partition, you can do it no problem. If it is used as read only after you have flashed the rom and gapps, and then use /data for other apps, you won't even notice, even weeks after
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
I have found that somehow after a few weeks and updates of play services etc., sooner or later I was getting messages that there wss insufficient space. The repationing not only affects the system partition, it also increases the data partition. And one or the other always filled up sooner or later.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Wolfey7:
That's good, because I can't find any smartphone worth buying, lol. Too bad people lose interest in S2, it's a great phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
How is this thread 118 pages long and theres still people asking about the system partition size

If i had a dollar for every time that mentioned in this thread i could retire

Anyone else remember when people could read, and read before doing something as potentially dangerous as flashing a ROM?

To sum it up, flash a 1Gb PIT file and stop trying to squeeze an elephant through a mail slot....and annoying everyone here :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kostelo:
I so much agree with you. I don't get why so many people are stuck on the stock partition table which now with LP roms leads only to problems. Just flash any 1GB system pit with unmodified preload partition size and you are good to go. You will do it once and that will be it for the rest of the device's life.

I have long ago flashed the recommended pit by [MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION] that is 1GB system, unmodified preload (so that you can return to stock based roms like Neat anytime you want without compatibility problems) and 4GB data. I believe it's a good balance between data and internal storage size.

I attach it in my post as well as one with 3GB data file in a zip. Remember to backup everything first.

Sorry to OP for so much OT but so many people are still struggling with such an easy solution available.

Than you, ofcourse i now about and to set recent panel apps, but i didnt ask that, where is clear all button on or in that reacent panel? And tnx for tip abot play store app ;) :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
The stock partition sizes are irrelevent to the PIT files you use. Think of compartments in a drawer, you are just moving the dividers. Normally you would gain in /system and /data and lose in sdcard0

You are better off leaving preload as stock, not only to make it easier to go back to stock rom if you need, but also a lot of recoveries will throw up errors trying to format the preload if you have changed it.

And for the record, repartitioning is a no-brainer if you struggle for space on your /system or even /data. It's the first thing i'll do when I run into issues. I just haven't had a single issue with space or lagging etc yet

Quest for dev [MENTION=3903813]warrior128[/MENTION]0: Is it so hard to implement clear all button or is something ellse metters?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] akiwiz:
Well when you set the recent app panel the kill all button magically appears :p if you have the slim recent panel just do the pinch to close all apps or just use the normal recent app panel

---------- Post added at 22:56 ---------- Previous post was at 22:50 ----------

We have 3 partitions

1.System = 500mb preload 500mb which slim doesn't use

2.Data = 2gb

3.Internal SD = around 11gb

If you want to flash lager gapps you need your system partition bigger not data, and the only way to make it 1gb is to have a preload modified pit, I have tried all and now I'm on 1gb system and 4gb data, correct anything if I'm wrong :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RamHa:
Oh man, i wish i can send U screnshot, but i can not right now ;). It is Slim, no "clear all button" ever and many times people asked in the past why it is missing? No answer excsept: we think that is better without and we will not iplemennt sucha feature... Ofcourse i didnt quote them, but U can always chek it on Slim official site. But there is another quest: ok official Slim wont implement that even roms are made for people to use it and even people asked many many times for that(couple kb)... But, why devs of Custom Roms based on Slims(and Slims are based on another one, juist google it) wannt implement that simple function? There is answer as wll for that, but before i answer on that, ill wait for their answer. Remmember evrything devs made is made not just for them selves but at most for people who use that rom or roms, etc... And post screenshot if U wish, and show me position of "Clear All Button" :) ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] akiwiz:
Clam down lol do you have slim recent apps or the normal lollipop recent apps panel? Cz I'm on slimsaber and I got both, if you have slim recent app panel just pinch on the apps when it comes from the side it closes all and yes slim team took off the kill all button in slimkat 4.4.4

I would have thought you'd been around long enough to know the answer to this... Nope. And search the thread for an official response from the Slim team on the topic... Else it'll be on their website too. Basically android isn't designed to have the apps cleared, so a clear all button isn't necessary and the Slim team won't implement it. "

I have to quote one senence, which is nonsensse btw:

"so a clear all button isn't necessary and the Slim team won't implement it"

It is maybe unnessesey for him and he can tallk on his own name and reason, but i will reapet again: Rom isnt made 4 just one person, and i can not understand people like them and i wont try anymore... Jessus...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
No, we have ten or more partitions, some of them hidden.

The /system partition is separate from the /preload partition.

It is as I said in my previous post: normally repartitioning to say 1gb sys, 4gb data, you would(not always) take space from sdcard0 to enlarge the /system and /data. You can reduce the preload to a vestigial amount, thus freeing up that space if you are using a rom that doesn't use it. It can cause issues though

That's right, installing larger gapps uses /system, BUT you don't need to alter /preload, and it is not advised to do it unless you are really struggling for space in your other partitions
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
I will include it in the next build. Till then, you can use it by switching it on in the hardware buttons under navigation in settings, as told earlier by Cyril.

Any chance for custom long press timeout? :D Also I think there was no file manager in last build. In camera app, the power button would not let me hold to focus and release to take the picture. I could just click it and watch it focusing and then taking the picture. How about that sloow dialer animation not affected by turned off animations in developer settings? Also that "can't scroll any more down or up" animation is too invasive in my opinion, in 4.4 it was perfect. Thank you for your work and patience. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Hey,

I don't know much about custom long press timeout, but let me tell all the other things that I will and have added: File Manager is back, and it is better(you'll see when I release the build). We have some more nav bar tweaks, with better and "SCALED" icons - which seemed to be humongous. Layers commits have been squashed to 4.X straight from 2.1(so we can apply good RRO themes again). Also, we would now use better AudioFX and Music app, to enhance music quality, as we got some problems spotted by [MENTION=5651185]GreekDragon[/MENTION]. Maybe more frameworks fixes/enhancements, and... OTA updates.

Regards. :D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Twiq:
To be honest, it was questioned and answered many many times in slimkat and slimsaber threads, and recently you quoted [MENTION=4851213]Hopper8[/MENTION] on the other thread..

Anyway here's my answer :

The clear all button may cause issues to system stability, you can find the official statement from slimteam here and if you're wondering why then you definitely need to read this

However, the slimteam still give us an option to kill all running apps by pinching the tasks.. It is a hidden also a public secret feature..

Why is it hidden? And Implementing a clear all button code is just a simple function?

Because if the clear all button was easily accessed then people tend to kill apps, then later on the system becomes unstable, and people will come to the forum of the rom to ask and complain that the rom is unstable.. This is what they're trying to avoid..

But if [MENTION=5419355]warrior1208[/MENTION] wants to implement this feature, i won't hold his good intentions, but just make sure you add a warning sign that it could cause system instability, and it's effect is not rom's fault, it is their fault for tampering android memory management.

I hope this answered your questions
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Thanks for the info. If the button really causes system stability issues, then we should avoid it. I'll see to it more, till now had no idea about this.

Thanks again. :)
