Cool but slow

I just upgraded my SlimBean Reborn 4.3 to SlimLP. I have to say that I'm overall very impressed: material design (that I have officially on my Nexus 7) look fabulous on the S2 screen. Battery life is also through the roof: a day without too much use leaves 80%. Before, it was at most 65%.

However, very frequently the phone just stalls when I try to do something. Just now, it was hanging on Firefox. Yesterday, it was hardly usable with the Über Twitter client, Trello and Business Calendar. It slows down and stalls and I have to wait sometimes over a minute before the phone becomes responsive again.

Is this a problem of having material design on an older phone? Anything else I can do? FYI, I flashed the files in this order:

Slim-i9100-5.0.2.alpha.1.0.2-UNOFFICIAL-20150311-1540.zip

SlimLP_Kernel.zip

pa_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.0.1-20150315-signed.zip

pa_gapps_googlekeyboard-addon-5.x-20150208-signed.zip

pa_gapps_googlecamera-addon-5.x-20150301-signed.zip

pa_gapps_chromebrowser-addon-5.x-20150315-signed.zip (not sure about the order of the last 3 but that's not important).

Thanks for the cool work!

Beta #5 No Ext. SDCard.

The title says everything.

I've reported it on Beta #3, I think. But the problem persists. Even if I use Es File Explorer, I can't see my Ext. SDCard. It works on Slim 4.4.4 Official Build #9. It's a 64GB SanDisk Ultra. Any suggestions or fix?

More than willing to try the 5.1 build as Ive been having big problems with Beta 5 since flashing. Very slow indeed for me. Facebook app crashes ALL the time, games hang and then phone reboots. Perhaps it was the way I flashed it although I did follow all instructions to the letter apart from the fact I used PA GApps and Ive also PIT'd my phone to increase the space for apps.

Downloading Beta 6 now and hope to get better results..

Use Mini GApps for the ROM to boot. Lollipop ROMs require a lot of storage on your phone. Hence, you can either use a pit file in order to flash a big sized GApps, or you can flash Mini GApps package and install all other packages from the Play Store whenever you need them.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirozan:
Dirty flash worked fine for me (also beta 6 to 7). And you also have to flash new slim gapps as the old ones wont work with beta 7 anymore (as i noticed :D).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboAccy:
A 'dirty' flash worked fine for me as well from 6 to 7 - thanks for the advice. Still no home button wakeup (I hear its being worked on) although I can at least now see more than one option when I go to reboot/power off plus theres a few extras in the menu under Personalisation - not much but its an improvement. On the plus side again, its even faster than 6. Phone is flying - especially noticed on facebook app - loads and refreshes much faster than 6.

I had no problems with GApps (could use the same 5.1 as before) but I use PA Gapps Nano.... I reflashed it again anyway before I booted Beta 7 for the first time.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniknarang:
If the kernel is flashing, then the ROM will boot for sure. It is just that the ROM takes 5-6 minutes to boot only for the first time. Flashing SuperSU works perfectly fine, no issues at all. You are following the correct order of flashing as well, just be a little bit patient and the ROM will boot for sure.

Regards. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OlegYch_real:
ok, it looks like there is a root access option by default, so i guess there is no need for supersu?

here is another problem - holding home button doesn't bring up app switcher, in fact i haven't found a way to open it, am i missing something? is there an option somewhere to enable it?

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Well, i'm pretty sure i waited for quite some time before giving up. After this i used 'clean for rom' option, flashed the rom, the rebooted, and it was working, then rebooted and flashed gapps, and again it was working, then rebooted and flashed supersu and it became stuck on logo for much more than 10 minutes. So i ended up skipping supersu, and everything seems to work fine now (except app switcher).

For those of you who are having problems with the sim lock / puk bug you can try the following that worked for me :

1) turn your phone on as usual

2) while on the screen where it ask for the sim pin/puk code tap the "emergency calls" button on the bottom of the screen, this should open the phone dialer

3) on this dialer input the following : **05*puk*new-pin*confirm-pin#

just after you press # the phone should automaticly unlock and now it works as it should (worked for me)

PUK lock in SlimLP Beta#8

Just to add more info on the PUK issue with the recent betas:

I've being experiencing this from beta 6 (inclusive)

beta 7 introduced the send SMS issue, I was unable to send SMSes using the messaging app; with the "Handcent SMS" app (suggested by Android-Freak2012) I was able to SMS (do they use direct access to the modem??)

the PUK issue: when booting it 1st asks for the PIN (although it won't accept it); then for the PUK and then to reset the PIN. This happens after every boot.

beta #8 seems to have added the quick unlock feature (perhaps this commit https://gerrit.paranoidandroid.co/#/c/57/ ??), which disables the OK/check button on the "enter PIN screen".

the two combined lead to a "deadly" combo :)

the use of the suggested **05*puk*new-pin*confirm-pin# code in the emergency dialler solved the problem (suggested by Malpi and Warrior1208)

Thanks to all (specially to Warrior1208) for this great ROM and all the effort put on it.

Is that a bug or have I done something wrong?
