I haven't given up - my pc did and presently i have other things to spend money on (after earning them first)... I shared here everything I did as long as i could... Hearing that I've given up makes me feel kind of bad...

Besides - i consider this build more or less complete (good enough for me at least). I'm a sysadmin, not android programmer, not even java programmer so it's as much as i can do both in kernel and distro.

I provide as much as i can _for free_ doing it in my spare time (my day also lasts only 24 hours). If you have bigger needs (esp for professional use), you should probably go and buy a new phone instead of complaining about a _very_ old phone, which life was greatly extend beyond what Samsung ever meant for it...

So while i consider wanting "everything for nothing" a part of human nature, it makes me pissed nevertheless...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
I thank you very much for your efforts. And don´t expect anymore from this phone.

Thanks for your work.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mauromol:
I think you misunderstood what I said. I said I'm thankful to you. By "given up" I meant you are not interested on carrying this ROM on. Probably the verbal phrase I used is not enough adequate, sorry, I'm not an English-native.

I'm not one that wants "everything for free", I've also contributed myself to several open-source projects, but my area of specialization is quite different (enterprise Java web applications), so I simply _can't_ contribute here.

I would even contribute with a donation, if this is the point.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
You're probably right - sorry for that.

Well - if you're a java programmer then you're better than me here ;) (I'm python mostly, and a bit C recently). Every time i have to mess with that language only ensures me that i was meant to do something else i life :P besides - before taking up Vanir and kernel for our device i to knew nothing about it as well (at least from the inside)

No, that wasn't the point at all. There are just many people here who just make demands and complains and i sometimes overreact.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] gonuldostu82:
Thank you,I installed now,very good but turkçe language does not work!!!

Which rom is u using on i9070
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
Yep, the issue is it but hasn"t be resolved. Just take a look at wakelock detector before and after running the script.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Wait. Cant find the wakelock by now. Perhaps has been disabled the issue. Need more time to check WD
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
Ok. Someone is lying me. Can't ser the wakelock caused for systemupdateservice in wakelock detector but can see it with betterbatterystats. Any idea?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
I've totally forgotten about it... I solved it with privacy guard - just denied Google play services "keep awake" privilege and that's it. But I'll look into things you guys posted here - maybe a more permanent and elegant solution can be found. So the new stable version has to wait ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
Here we have been talking about google play services

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s-advance/themes-apps/share-myandroidtools-guide-to-disable-t2869119
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
ok, this script should do it (you actually need to enable those services, not disable them)

And also some apps that will be present in the next version (and nt settings compiled for this rom - but this I don't support and don't care if it doesn't work)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] TheSteve87:
thank you very much, NT settings are working perfectly with your latest fast build :D can't wait for the next!

(well i actually can wait, don't be in a hurry)

I try to install Novathor, but the installer respond "app not installed" why?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] TheSteve87:
you have to install it as a system app, either manually or with one of the many apps that can do the trick (just look for "system app installer" on google play)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Cyberdog78:
Now I try install Novathor behind system app installer, but the app is not installed because the trick app respond "cannot mount system partition as read/write"
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] TheSteve87:
try "/system/app mover ★ ROOT ★" from google play, there are many similar
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
Finally I reinstalled Vanir. I always thought the best ROM for this phone.

Very good work [MENTION=3329816]mkaluza[/MENTION]

One thing I never work with these ROM is the Wi-Fi Direct, and still not working. You know why?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] TheSteve87:
wi-fi direct and compass are two bugs that were never fixed (and never will be) in CM11 > http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54238493&postcount=2067
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Compass works for me. Wifi direct however does not. But I haven't tried fixing it yet.

BTW. Guys, how are torrent downloads working for you? Are they better/faster/whatever the those free web hostings? Any complaints?:)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] xxziolo13xx:
IMO no difference, but people who using phone to download rom may have a little problems.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Why? I'm using ttorrent on my phone without problems
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
No problem with torrents. I think is the best way to share.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] TheSteve87:
torrents are good when there's always someone seeding, but for those that can rely only on a mobile connection it may be a problem since mobile carriers tend to limit p2p traffic

maybe a mirror on a very good file sharing site (fast direct download, no premium like mediafire) could help those
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Downloading a 200MB rom over mobile? Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a new phone? :D

I was asking about my downloads in partiicular, not generally - I know the theory - I want to know if what I'm doing works and how (not)well.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Pieee85:
some playstore icons with glitches

Hi ... ty for the rom.

I tried the experimental 30th+mk kernel 7 and 28th+mk kernel 7. Both have a little problem in my case.

Does someone have icons corruption in the Play Store in "your local apps" section? I tried to search a fix ... and the cause is the the libskia.so file in /system/lib compiled with a too new toolchain. Any chance / way to fix it ? i tried extracting the file from my previous rom (asopa), but cause a longer boot and a corruption of the bootanimation but fix the icon issue. Do you have your previous build (at least builded with an older toolchain) uploaded somewhere, [MENTION=3329816]mkaluza[/MENTION]?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
Same here, it works well
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] TheSteve87:
believe me, some people do :D but if you're asking about your particular case, then i'd say you're doing it good, last time it took me just ten minutes to get the whole rom
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
vanir 2015-06-02 stable

Hi guys!

New build is out finaly ;) Torrent in post #1 as always

* fixed Google Play Services wakelock problem

* added Synapse mem, io, modules tabs

* added apps: Apollo, Zeam Launcher, DroidWall

* compiled with ArchiDroid flags

Enjoy :)

It's more or less "final" unless some bugs are found or I have too much free time ;P but for now it's the way I wanted ;) I'll be working on Synapse scripts to make it a useful tuning tool. Comments are welcome, help is even more welcome ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] DaksAnkit:
i m gonna test it , but hey is there any other link , coz torrent speed has issues . and are their any othre links to it on cloud storage like megashare or fileshost etc ?

ALSO WHAT I HAVE SEEN IT AT MANY PLACES >... can you tell me the two files in the torrent

noswp and swp .CWM .what are these ? if i m not wrong i think its cwm recovery but which one should i use ???
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
If you're using the 05-30 experimental version then it's not the kernel, it's rom - compiling thumb binaries with anything else than -Os gives this effect (and network location bug). Try the current (06-02) build - it works fine (it's almost as fast - you won't notice the difference).

Do you know something more about this bug? Maybe something that can help me fix it?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Torrent has direct download included - not very fast, but give it some time, I've just uploaded it ;)

Kernels are only if you want to change them. By default the Rom comes with no swap version, so you don't have to do anything extra - just flash the main zip
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] DaksAnkit:
GREAT , that means it would b a simple install then

[MENTION=3329816]mkaluza[/MENTION]

Thanks buddy , and yea well torrents can be resumed so that is ok, also thanks for clearing the cofusion ..:good::good:

and any customisation app that you would reccomend for this ROM .

:confused:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
Hi, my friend. When I open Synapse says "No UCI support detected". Using vanir 2015-06-02 stable with normal kernel. ??
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Hmmm. Did you try to reboot at least once after flashing? It should fix after this. If it skill doesn't work, check if you have /system/xbin/uci and /data/UKM.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] ragavan_v:
Hi mkaluza,

First of all, thanks for the amazing rom to our phone.

I found some laggy when scrolling through the launcher(I am using Nova launcher).

I have tried flashing epirex kernel and got success, but wifi is not at all working(may be incompatible):(:(

But performance wise, epirex kernel is good. I did not found any lagginess.

Which governor and IO scheduler gives best performance for your rom.?

Please advice on this

Thanks,
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Apparently so, because mk kernel doesn't work on his ROM as well. As for settings - I don't know. Default should have been fine, but probably I'll add some performance profiles on next release. Anyway, thanks for the tip - I'll test nova launcher.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
For me nova launches works superb. I own the pro version.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

REbooted and still. Have the folder /data/UKM but not the file /system/xbin/uci.

Sorry, what is it related to?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
The same happens to me.

Synapse ... No UCI support detected.

By the way, my steps were:

1)wipe dalvik

2)wipe cache

3)install rom 0206

Restarting the phone did not work.

On the other hand I am also using Nova Premium Launcher, it is very good!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
try those commands (terminal as root):

sysrw
depmod
chmod -R 755 /system/UKM
ln -s /data/UKM/uci /system/xbin/uci
uci reset
uci

I'm still fighting with the build system to get Synapse/UKM stuff right - it appears I've lost this fight ;P
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Another thing - you are aware that for the first 10 minutes (give or take) media scanner is running in the backgroud, so performance can be suboptimal - it's using the flash quite a lot... Give it some time to settle and check that launcher once again (I installed the free version and it worked fine for me)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Oh yes, and you need to kill Synapse (exit with back button and then remove it from apps list). Otherwise it won't try to reload the config.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
yes, it's working, but when I executed uci script, it logged various "not found". Is that possible?

This is the output of the script:

Sorry, I think I understand.

If it does not find the file, it's generated. It's like that?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
Should I do a factory reset or a /system format before updating the rom? I've only wiped cache and dalvik but I don't know if it could create some problems
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] click2abhi:
Hey...i find the minimum brightness to be too high for me...is there any way to decrease it without using any other application...i am on the latest build 06-02..

I really liked the brightness levels on previous builds..

Thanks in advance..

Peace !!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
In my view, if it is from the Stock ROM, also would to a wipe data and factory reset, plus the other wipe. Obviously to backup what you think necessary.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Funny, I did not notice differences in brightness between versions. I made the corresponding cleaning before install?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
No, I already had Vanir. I updated only wiping cache and dalvik and it seems to be ok. Another question: what about ART Runtime? Is it possible to use it without any problems or bugs or something like an app optimizing at every boot (like in cm 12.1)?

p.s.: sorry for my english
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] TheSteve87:
ART works fine, i tried it on the previous stable build. but because of the small internal memory of the phone, i couldn't install more than 20 of my 60-something usual apps, so i had to go back to dalvik (ART uses a lot of space)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
Hi, my friend.

I"ve got excellent battery backup with last build. BBS reports 87% deep sleep, so google services issue is gone
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
My phone won't set ART Runtime. Everytime I try to set it my phone reboots (as usual), but when I go in developer settings-> runtime, it remains dalvik. How could I fix it?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
Are you running xposed? If yes, never starts ART
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
Yes, I am. So, I have to removed xposed, right? But after installing ART, could I re-install it (maybe Xposed Lollipop?)?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
Nope. Art of lollipop is quite different. You have to choose art or xposed.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
Oh, that's not good. Okay, i'll try to remove xposed before setting art. Thanks a lot man

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Uhm...It doesn't work anyway. Do you have some other ideas?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] DaksAnkit:
use ..screen filter app , small n good, u can choose brightness levels that suits you !!

i HOPE THIS HELPS
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
No, man. If you want art you can"t have xposed. That"s it
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Damn... The file is missing. Sorry for the mess guys. I'll post a patch tomorrow morning. But if you have previous zip, extract /system/etc/init.d/11screen and set it executable and reboot.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
Yes I understood. I was saying another thing: ART doesn't work anyway, even after removing Xposed. I disabled all modules, uninstalled them, remove Xposed Framework and then removed Xposed Installer app. And now? My phone went bootloop. What else should I do to set ART?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
ART works, but with the optimized build I don't see noticeable speed difference (although cpu usage seems lower).

If you want to use are, put " dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=0" in /data/local.prop - this way 200mb of dalvik-cache will go to /cache
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
Oops. Wipe cache and dalvik
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
Thre's no "local.prop" in /data folder

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Okay i'll try but how could I wipe cache and dalvik without entering recovery? 'cause when set ART it asks me to reboot my phone, but there's no possibility to enter recovery, do I need to delete it from root browser or anyway my file explorer?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edukardo:
I think no. Take a look around
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
So, in the end, I can't set ART?

-Removing Xposed didn't work

-Local.prop file doesn't exist

-I can't wipe cache and dalvik without entering in recovery
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
If the local.prop doesn't exist, create it :P
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Pieee85:
Flashing the 05-28 with his own kernel , no playstore bug. I'll try the 02-06 as soon as possible. Ty for the advice. Howerver I see you used Archidroid commits... maybe this one can help

bugs.launchpad.net/linaro/+bug/1332989

In his opinion , this commit could help on github JustArchi/android_external_webp/commit/36c6201fbb108d6b757f860e2cd57f3982191662

Sorry, cant post links...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Great job man! I'll have to dig Archi's repos a bit more ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Excellent ROM ( 02-06 ) !! ( i never said this to any custom rom before :p )

using for 2 days, ( which is also a record for me bcz i have never been on custom rom more than 1 day except CM10.1 due to their bugs ;) )

performance great far batter than stock

battery life comparable to stock 2-2.5Hr SOT with moderate to heavy use

didn't find any bugs yet

i'm not using any other modification or init.d

i don't use even Synapse or any other kernel app come with ROM ( actually i removed them ) , No OC as well

so simply using default-as it is-and it's impressive with it

btw i have a request if you find any Critical bugs in 02-06 version and if you patch it with specific files then can you tell me which files you patched ? so that i can replace only those files ( may be this is impossible & i know you are lazy :p but if you can plz do remember them )

i'm asking bcz i invested a day for setting and debloating etc etc.. and i don't want to do it every time :p

edit : btw you didn't give patch for brightness yet ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Can you share your modifications? Patch attached as zip to post #1. Fixes screen and synapse.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
You'll upload a new ROM with the kernel 6.0?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
No, because there's nothing new in it compared to 5.7.3. r6 is a change in API (see http://semver.org/)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
I understand.

And thank you very much for responding wisely! ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
After applying the Patch01, this error appears in the tab MALI of Synapse:

This is wierd... can you check for existance of /system/UKM/actions/generic_pct_255 and /data/UKM/actions/generic_pct_255 and what they are (the other should be a symlink to the first one) and what permissions do they have...

any ideas?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
I found the problem. 'actions' in /data/UKM no contains generic_pct_255 and there is not a link to /system/UKM/actions, we must correct that and make the link. Modified the Patch01?

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

Maybe make a fork, but then you have to develop Android applications. And if not, agree with AndreiLux to participate in the project together, putting aside reminiscences :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mkaluza:
Ok, thanks. The thing is that the patch should have created that link. Anyway, due to problems with synapse licensing I won't be putting any more effort into it right now... sorry...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Zouhuo:
Ok, for now, we correct the latter problem:

as root

rm -r /data/UKM/actions
rm -r /data/UKM/debug
rm -r /data/UKM/files

and then create the links:

ln -s /system/UKM/actions /data/UKM/actions
ln -s /system/UKM/debug /data/UKM/debug
ln -s /system/UKM/files /data/UKM/files

reboot

Ok?
