A few more days have passed... how is SlimLP for you? I installed beta#9 yesterday, and found out that selecting Hebrew as the phone language breaks the ROM, I keep getting "user interface has stopped" every 1 second. If I choose English as the language, everything works. (But once I selected Hebrew, I need to flash clean again because there's no way out...)

Also, with beta#9, the battery drains fast. You wrote you had a great battery life; I am using the same apps and settings that I used in SlimSaber KK, and the battery is worse in LP. I tried to use BetterBatteryStats, but for some reason after clicking "install as system" and rebooting, when I try to open it, I see a strange screen that tells me that two permissions have been granted, and that this app is some "dummy add-on" to BBS whose only purpose is to allow it to run as root. But I don't get the BBS screen showing me the actual info about the battery usage.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stylemessiah:
Sorry havent had a chance to flash the latest beta yet, too busy

Report your errors to the thread, i cant fix them :)

I do have great battery life on Beta 8, no question, same or better that i had on SlimSaber

I have no idea of how you prepared your device before flashing, and id suggest a full clean (and i mean format everything everything - HawkerCore style - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2405363) install. If youve just flashed over another ROM without doing a clean install, then im afraid thats your best option to get help from most people here. If you've explained previously how to got the ROM on then i apologise, i havent got time right now to go back over x pages.

As for BetterBatteryStats, if you read my earlier post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60792638&postcount=719 youll find out how to install it and have it working., maybe you forgot id already covered that.

Just because i have a great experience doesnt mean you should quote me every time you have an issue :)

Speaking of issues:

[MENTION=5419355]warrior1208[/MENTION]: The all contact list doesnt seem to save the sorting, it resets to surname, firstname when i exit the phone app.... Lol, if i go into a contact to see their details, and back out it sorts itself properly....could just be me, but im just putting it out there. Anyone else?

Havent gotten round to dialling out till today, which is why i hadnt reported it till now :) Most of my calls are incoming - apparently im the tech support line for everyone i know...and their friends :)

Only "issue" ive found

ROM impressions (Beta 9)

Well, I've finally installed this ROM and I have to say that I love it: very fast, good battery life and no major problems.

Some issues I've found:

1) Charging animation not working when phone is off (anybody else?)

2) If you go to Settings>Mobile networks>"last option" (I'm translating from Spanish) there is a FC

Some features that would be very nice to have:

1) Adjust vibration intensity -> I want some vibration, but the default one is too high for me

2) Option to enable/disable heads up notifications (a tile in notification panel would be great)

Thanks for this awesome ROM! Keep up the good work:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
The contacts glitch seems to be fixable. Let me try it out once.

Thanks for the good review.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Doing just that...

Yes, I'm interested to know how you got that battery life. What did you install / uninstall / configure for this?

Well, it turns out the problem is related to Hebrew language. If I choose English everything works fine. Reminds me when there was a time in SlimKat when I didn't use it because its Hebrew support sucked... Strangely, it was fine in beta#8 and was ruined in beta#9.

I read that, and the fact that you had to create that directory must be related to the ROM. I've never had to do that for installing BBS on any ROM (KK and LP).

Of course I do :) That's where the fun lies, don't you think?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JimboAccy:
Looks like no-one else reported the problem with the phone calls on Beta 9 so I have reflashed clean, this time wiping some extra partitions manually and its all good now so ignore me :) Thanks warrior for the latest updates.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] buddy1234567:
I note your a Dorimanx fan... I'm looking for BLN on SlimLP. Does anyone know of a kernel that supports this on 5.1 ? Does the stock SlimLP kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Some findings:

1. Battery life - in contrast with SlimKat, SlimLP has the Lollipop app-ops, which allows me to disable the "auto-start" and "wake" permissions of apps. So I can save some battery by disabling those permissions of the apps that I desire.

2. BetterBatteryStats - there are two options to run it. One is what you wrote; the other is to install it a 2nd time (the same apk) after the reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] buffer overflow:
APOLO kernel supports BLN. :)

After ~1 day of usage, the ROM starts lagging. Apps take a few seconds to open. During the first day, there were no lags.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Your problems seem to be only with you. I have around 97 apps, 3 days have passed, no lag what so ever. Even the battery life is descent. Nothing seems to be wrong.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] wembleyy:
Sreinst1, you are the most pretentious user. You need to upgrade to galaxy s6 :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
First, of course it depends on the usage of the ROM, but it may also be that what is acceptable for you, is not acceptable for me. Can you share a short video where you are launching a few apps? Maybe I expect too much. In any case, I don't expect any better than KK...

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Not at all. I can simply downgrade to KK and everything works fine there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Well, calm down. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I am just saying that this ROM is a lot smother than you're complaining. I can create a video, of course, showing the same that I'm saying.

Also, we all must keep in mind that the device in our hands is 4 years old, and has just a gig of RAM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I'm not offended... And I'm very thankful for all the work you're doing to get us Lollipop ROMs on i9100. The only thing I'm saying is, I very much would like to have Lollipop, but for me it delivers worse performance than Kitkat (I am using SlimSaber, but before that I used Spirit, Carbon and many other KK ROMs). I'm interested to see how it works for others that say everything is smooth. Maybe people forgot how KK worked, and in comparison with the very laggy 5.0.2, 5.1 and 5.1.1 are flying... but they still don't have the performance of KK.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

Do we need to flash the supersu after the ROM and gapps? When I tried it, I did without it, and everything seemed to work. Could this be related to the lags I had?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Marik ZMR:
I installed the rom with success but when i turn on the phone it stay blocked at slim logo.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pyvesb:
Thanks for the nice work! I will be needing my internal SD Card, so guess I'll wait a bit longer before installing it. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
The first boot takes some time. Do not remove the battery. The ROM flashes and runs pretty smoothly. I have tested the build for hours before uploading.

Try the following steps:

1. Wipe cache and data.

2. Wipe system.

3. Wipe dalvik/art cache.

4. Install the ROM, GApps, and SuperSu.

5. Reboot system and wait for the first boot (takes like 5 minutes or so). After that the boot up time is very very less.

:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Marik ZMR:
Ok, the Rom is installed but i have a problem. I don't have signal (no service). What can i do? And another thing is i can't mount sdcard0 and emmc.

E: Unable to mount sdcard0

E: Unable to mount "/emmc"

E: Unable to recreate and-sec folder.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Internal SD Card is a bug and has to be fixed yet. The RIL is working for me, though. :)

Anyone else who has tested the ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pierx:
Hi there, thanks for the update.

Finally i got it installed after change to apollo kernel. I got an issue before with stock Omni TWRP recovery which i already post it earlier.

Okay so here some thought i got for a few minutes with the rom.

- I'm not used to this custom DPI, the icons, some assets looks jagged and blurry.

- It seems that slim doesn't include adb wireless in development settings.

- No access to sdcard is main issue, for now it is unusable for me.

Still, looking forward for this development.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
The DPI is the default one used by all the SlimRoms. If you've ever used SlimKat or SlimSaber, then you must be aware of the smaller DPI that Slim uses. The icon scaling is blurry in the SlimLauncher, which would soon be updated, as stated by the Slimteam.

As far as the development settings and other tweaks are concerned, SlimLP source is still in the alpha stages, and we would have to wait for the future updates to add more things.

SD Card is a major issue, would try to fix that asap.

Slim source is unstable as of now, as I said, being in the Aplha stage. All we can do is just fix the errors from our side and wait. We should get a stable and a perfect ROM within a month. :)

Thanks for testing, though! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pierx:
Yes, we are aware that this is an alpha stage, but one thing for sure is we already grateful to have someone to maintain this ROM for this old device. ;)

I just flashed this latest build. worked great. loaded into LP first try. battery ran right down. turned off.

now phone wont turn on / charge / download mode. nothing.

but was working fine before dead battery. i have another. but yeh. dont know whats up.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

ok this is just random

turns out its the battery dead...

brand new battery.

i brought the phone from a registered seller, 2nd hand s2 for my wife, her iphone died and now was my opportunity to get her off ios.

anyway. i brought 2 batteries. a $40 cable (belkin) aparently its the best ever!!. a belkin case (brand new). screen protector etc.

then i proceeded to put tw 4.4 on it. then decided cm12 would be better.

all a sudden.

8gb SD stops working.

the belkin USB cable. does nothing.

the belkin cover i look @ it has scratches all down the back.

and then the brand new out of box battery is dead.

talk about winning combination.

I think ill pay him a visit on monday,

i might have to triangle away and reflash stock rom though =/
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
Oh. No battery issues here, though. :p

And as I said, would work to fix all of these errors.

Thanks for trying out SlimLP. Stay tuned for fixes. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
the plot thickens. now both batteries are flat, phone was rather warm.

there is not enough battery power to power up phone to charge it. i know right. stupid. cant even load recovery or download mode. just dead phone.

even though i had 2 batteries. so wasn't a battery problem. was a FLAT battery problem. now DEAD flat. i read u need battery power to turn phone on to charge battery. is this true?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
If you flashed and used the ROM, then the phone should turn on. If it was the first boot, then I am unsure. Try getting a battery and powering on the phone.

If the battery is not problematic, then you can charge the phone with 0% battery level.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
i had 2 batteries.

i installed the rom, loaded it up. it worked fine. had only like 8% battery left. havent used this phone in ages.

thought i better charge phone. then it drained flat. tried to get it charging. not worked.

found the 2nd battery. put that in. it loaded back up. sweet. i thought that battery was faulty.

left it. then realised this battery was also almost flat. plugged in charger. still drained flat.

now cant turn on. no logo / no boot / no download

i do however get a battery charge icon that looks like its frozen animation. doesnt spin or anything. then after 5 seconds it flicks off (like its trying to boot) then goes back to the same battery icon that looks frozen during animation. this loops over and over till phone is hot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] maniknarang:
SuperSU is not really needed, but you would have to head into development settings>enable root access.

Also, I don't think that flashing SuperSU makes the ROM laggy. Compared to KK, LP is of course slower, because in LP we have so many animations+new designs/colours.

What I can do on my part is develop the ROM with UBER Toolchain and Optimizations. I'll upload a new build with that shortly today, of course, with the full changelog.

Stay Tuned! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Wow! That's the key sentence. That's what I've been experiencing the whole time, but users all say the opposite!

However, I do not think (actually nearly sure) that it's because of the animations and designs. I think it's because of ART. The fact is, initially it is not slower than KK (except for much longer setup time). It becomes slower after some more time passes, and for some reason it starts being "heavy" as if there are memory leaks. If it was due to animations and designs, it would have been slower from the beginning. My suspicion is that ART takes more memory (not just storage) and at some point it starts throwing out resources so it takes much longer to load them again (compared to KK).

Building with Uber might make things better but I doubt it will solve it. ART will still generate much bigger code.

Edit: BTW, since LP was announced, a long time ago, it was meant to be ART-only. However I kept hoping that custom ROMs will somehow integrate Dalvik and add the option to use LP with Dalvik. If and when that option will exist, I will definitely switch to LP.

Now with an exchanged reactivated sim card working as should be, albeit a little slow. Well I'll see how it goes maybe it will optimize the cache a little more in a bit of time.

Otherwise working great so far with

Im sorry youre having issues, but its just you. You asked me several times what my experience is, and ill say it again, zero issues, no lag and great battery. Its backed up by other users.

Every device, even of the same model, can be different. You may just have one that doesnt like the ROM, you may have a bad radio, you could have corruption in your filesystem...just dont know, but this ROM is stable and fast (boots twice as quick as SlimSaber for starters) and has no lag at all.

Any luck with the Contacts list failign to save osrting?

And a request, yep i have one: OTG support in the kernel if possible, i use OTG a lot when im out and about and thats the ONLY thing i miss from SlimSaber to this ROM

Some testing today:

Apollo Kernel - latest beta - stuck on bootscreen no matter what i did with it. Always hated TWRP because no recovery will mess up a device quicker than that crap....dont criticise it though, it has fanboys...

Really miss my DorimanX kernel :)

Free tip: Viper4Andriod users -

You cant install V4A on LP with SELinux in Enforced, so youll need to grab SELinux Mode Changer from here:

Install and run it, select Permissive, and reboot

Then install V4A. You'll need to leave SELinux Mode Changer set to Permissive (it runs a script every startup) to be able to use V4A.

Once the above is done PowerAMP sounds great again :)

Slim has always wanted to keep things smaller on all devices. However, you can easily revert back to 240DPI via settings>display>change lcd dpi and switch to 240. The phone will reboot automatically.

Just to humour you this once,

1. Is front/back camera fully working ?

YES

2. Manual network selection is broken or fixed ?

I assume you mean a different cellular network? NO - but to me i wouldnt even include the option...give me one real valid reason for being able to chose a network other than the one the sim in your phone is for. Automatically should be the only option as far as im concerned. Ive never found a reason to manually select a network in all the years since, well cellular networks were invented.

HELP!!!

I agree after the flash on Beta#10 (added-wise dirty) and the connecting attempt flash of the GAPPS in the mini- and zero-version (both from 19.05.) every time the message that it could not be made because not enough system memory would exist...!

What is wrong then now? I never got a message like that up to now...! :(

Up to now the new GAPPS version has always deleted the files of the old version, before the flash start is launched.

Is there, perhaps, flashable zip with which I can delete the present GAPPS (to flash then the new version)?

Please, help...!

In any case, I think a reboot will solve it. Whenever I got errors from Play Services after the flashing, I just rebooted and they went away. If it's persistent, that's another case, a logcat might be needed (depending on the error).
