hi chrono, i'm on latest vanir 26/9/2015, using R.3.2 or R.3.7.1 kernel, long press back button set to kill target.

but, its act like general back button, failed to kill app.

i think this is a bug from vanir os right? not kernel related bug

i tested with bbm app, when it was killed, bbm icon on the status bar should be disappear.

but this icon still there
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Ok, then it's ROM bug.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Hello!

I installed this rom yesterday and my first impressions are quite good.

But today I've started installing lots of apps and I've found a bug (or maybe it's my fault, but I've tried everything and I can't figure out if I did anything wrong). It happens only with two apps, Outlook and Amazon. Both issues are related to GPU or kind of. When I open an email, the screen can't show anything sharp, and inmediately Outlook crashes. When openning Amazon, it should show lots of pictures of items and items, but it doesn't and after a few seconds it crashes too.

Before that I changed build.prop from 210 dpi to 240 with no issues. When I found this problem I restored it to 210 dpi again, but it didn't fix it. I've also restored Xposed mods to originals and Chronokernel settings with no success.

Regards.

You don't need to edit build.pro, you can change the density from settings -> interface-> more

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Thanks. I dind't see that option (and it warns you it's dangarous) and I modified build.prop directly. The problem was I changed DPI to 240. Then I restored to 210 DPI and I had the problem yet.

Finally I have fix it removing Vanir options and leaving the firmware as AOSP.

every time i restart the phone, its always optimizing app. i'm using vanir+r3.8 kernel+open gapps

how to fix this? thanks
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Automat1991:
Versions 091715 and 092615 have problems with browsers - default and others. When I'm searching something using google, apps are being killed. Last version without this problem is 080115. I tried kernel 3.8 in all of these versions.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Just wondering how many background apps do you have?

That sounds similar to my web view issue I described in the kernel thread.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Automat1991:
Not much, I tried everything. Closing apps in DB Battery Saver, killing them, cleaning from recent panels, nothing helps to closing browsers. Cleaning cache & dalvik does'nt help too. I don't know whre to find log from this apps.

Probably it is ROM problem.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Try disabling some services from Google play services using disable service app. I also had that issue, but when I checked in logcat it was related to OOM caused when opening web view. After I disabled unneeded background services, the issue went away.

Erm...is this normal, that long press of powerbutton when screen is off is activating FLASHLIGHT in newest vanir?

I mean, it could work like this in earlier versions, as you remember me reporting sudden flashlight activation...now it makes sense...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Strange, I couldn't replicate this.

In my case, when pressing power button when screen is off, immediately turns on the screen (even without me letting go of the long press). After a few seconds, it turns off the phone (forcefully)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] xo.en:
HMMM, this is weird - i had hardlock and after reboot suddenly I lost all program data/settings/contacts, but not installed software itself - and believe me - after this power long-press worked like I said...totally weird.

It is not behaving like this after another reset - it was bizarre.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miryn:
Vol up+home+power is responsible for the instantaneous system suspend. I think that's a screen recording shortcut.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
This is the smoothest and faster ROM I've installed. But I have 2 doubts/inconvenients.

-How can I enable Expanded Desktop (hide status bar) in this ROM? I can use Gravity Box but I'd prefer not installing that.

-Since I'm nearsighted, I had to change screen density to 240DPI for my eyes health. But now I cannot run 2 important apps to me, due to FC everytime I open them. Any advice or solution?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I have no idea about the first, but for the second you could try using app settings to adjust dpi for different applications. In your case, you could try changing dpi for play store.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
With which kernel it's running smooth ?

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

is the default one.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Thanks. I've realized there was an option to clear market data and I've been allowed to install these apps. But then they FC or malfunction when running. Finally I've installed app settings and it seems to work fine for now.

It's ROM's default kernel r3.6.1.

At settings it firstly showed 210DPI and then I reset to device's default 240dpi .
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
thx, interesting thing! maybe there is an different Mali Driver ?

I wonder if we can find an proper working mali Driver in any rom for 4.4-branch, especially for WS2401.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
I am using your kernel from 20/10 with that rom and it runs smooth, with your latest kernel I had lag to game like heroes charge and wake on delay so I roll back to 20/10

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I find this ROM very fast and smooth. I really like it. But battery drain is over 15% higher than others.

Ace2Nutzer kernel performs better battery drain in this rom?

Have you tried also latest chrono kernels with this?

And one last question. When you flashed Ace2nutzer kernel did you have to delete anything from init.d?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
well ... then this confirms that this ROM here has an different mali driver .. not so bad and good to know !

btw: u really don't need to use that "old" kernel version .... u just need to make init.d script with 4 lines... then u'll have same LCD config like 20/10.... and since we've now fully hard-floated kernel, it's now a bit painful to use not fully hard-floated kernels versions :cowboy:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
Can you write the lines for the script to try again the new kernel

Thanks

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
What are you talking about? We only have one proprietary mali blobs version on every ROMs here.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] PolishVodka:
True. Samsung STE devices has exactly the same version of mali blobs from official JB and above.

From Sony STE this drivers are different (from what I can see in winmarge) and working of course on our Ace 2 too, but I don't know if this will give us any better things..

Probably Sony's devices has newest Mali version drivers in kernel, someone talking about this.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
They have r3p1-01rel0 version, exactly same that we have https://github.com/XperiaSTE/androi.../mali400ko/driver/src/devicedrv/mali/.version . Are there any other kernels on sony xperia u8500 devices with a different mali driver version?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I didn't mean the mali driver in kernel.. (but also interesting) ...

i just mean the video drivers & libs from the ROM itself ... because some users say that Vanir is more smooth ...

For example some graphic related things from the ROM:

/system/lib/egl

/system/lib/libEGL.so and libMali.so and maybe some others... EGL and surfaceflinger.

Maybe some tests with newer drivers from Sony STE would be interesting ... because i still suspect that our actually Mali Driver from the ROM .. is still wrong for our GPU / LCD .. due of lags and tearings during scrolling ...

I know, actually it's working acceptable since we've adjusted the LCD freq + video.modes ... but i believe that was more an workaround instead an fix. (but of course, much better than before)

The Root of this is just Stock GB ROM ... there are no problems at all with both LCD s6d + ws24 :highfive:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Go to system/etc/init.d and open the File 99_user

the content should look like this:

#!/system/bin/sh

# User init.d script

echo hbp=8 > /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/mcde_chnl
echo hfp=8 > /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/mcde_chnl
echo hsw=8 > /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/mcde_chnl
echo vfp=8 > /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/mcde_chnl

sleep 3
echo update > /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/mcde_chnl

Save and reboot the Phone... after u've rebooted .. wait 1 - 2 minutes and check sysfs if every video.mode Value is @ "8":

cat /sys/devices/pri_lcd_ws2401.0/mcde_chnl

If yes, everything OK.

To revert this, just remove again the new lines, save and reboot the Phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] PolishVodka:
I was member some post like this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2628702

But you gave me right answer.

Of course many things can be done on ROM side in smoothness, gralloc, surfaceflinger, egl...

In my case, in scrolling I didn't see any difference between old good Gingerbread and LP Roms (but remember 5.X.X anyway has some bugs, and it cannot be just compared to fully source built official Gingerbread, which is a lot of "lighter" system..)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Actually llibMali.so is also a blob we don't have sources for. But I do agree, there is something that can be done in order to fix scrolling issues. Maybe this is just how hwcomposer works on GB ROMs. Lack of some compatibility patches to a surfaceflinger could be a reason(since with a newer surfaceflinger we still have an older hwcomposer, which works of course, but worse than on 2.3.6). I haven't seen such patches yet, but so far didn't look into this deep. By the way, this patch fixes tearings at least on LP, you could find it useful. Didn't notice a big difference on KK(there are still tearings in flappy bird), but probably it's better than nothing. Also, maybe it's worth to try making a forward port of MCDE kernel driver using sources 2.3.6. Not that it would be easy, but there are some chances that it will work better than our 4.1.2 sources(if that will work at all, of course).

Hmm, GB? I can't say much about this, since I used it only three days after I bought this device and later switched to 4.1.2 and then to CyanogenMod 10.1. As for me, I believe that LP ROMs has a way better scrolling than on JB and KK ones, and this was one reason for me to use it rather than KK ROMs. But I still searching the best KK ROM that even could exist. There are some hopes on L-preview AOSP sources which in fact is something intermediate between KK and LP, but has newer art, bionic, frameworks and etc. sources. I didn't get yet multimedia working on this ROM(but I believe this is because of misapplied patches), and webview is not working too, so there is many work to do, but later I'll give one more try.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] PolishVodka:
Fact is that, hwcomposer exist from, as I remember, ICS, and this was slowdown a lot my old device, but scrolling was more smooth, without tearing.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I'm on 13/12 kernel and I've just made this.

I have a blinking red square (only for a second) at the perimeter of screen every time I open anything.

EDIT: Restored backup, flashed Ace2nutzer kernel and wrote init.d script again and now everything's OK. In fact, Vanir + last Ace2nutzer kernel is amazing.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
libviewchromium.so is definitely buggy for the latest build. It crashes and causes OOM even soft reboot at some instances.

Using lLibviewchromium.so from previous build solve it.

I'm not sure how this would affect other things (such as security patches, etc), but it certainly solves the OOM issue.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
New build 25.01.2016 is UP!

Changelog

Applied JustArchi optimizations v3 for CM-11.0 (without -O3 flag)

Compiled with the latest Linaro GCC 5.2

Removed Navigation Bar && Ring - fixed touchscreen 2mm dead zone on the bottop side of the screen

Disabled a lot of an extra unneeded debug

Decreased some delays such as DEFAULT_LONG_PRESS_TIMEOUT, GLOBAL_ACTIONS_KEY_TIMEOUT, etc

Improved scrolling

libwebviewchromium.so blob is replaced with the one from my latest CM11 build

To avoid having some issues with sdcard swapping, please install chrono kernel r4.1.1 or whatever kernel but not this one with which comes this build.

Thanks [MENTION=5701712]shaqman89[/MENTION] for providing the build server.

Enjoy this build! :good:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shadow252:
This is really a good sign. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I installed previous build on my son's ace yesterday:)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Updated Vanir + Ace2Nutzer is smoother than previous build for now.

And battery drain seems better too.

Glad to see you working on it again.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Yes, I could confirm that it's smoother.

Though I think some dimensions has changed, am I correct? It's not bad per se, just some layouts seems different.

Also, webview is working normally. Yay :)

Thanks for the update [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] :good:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
That is just changed dpi from 240 to 210. But it was set since the previous build.

Good to know, since I can't test webview for now, so I had to assume it will work as on CM11 build.

P.s. ART seems to be broken, as I forgot to apply a fix from Archi's optimizations topic.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I don't think that's it. I used to use a custom dpi anyway, usually 180. But somehow with 180 and now 170, I see different layout for keyboard and some apps. I also tried changing dpi to 240 or 210, but it seems I still can't get the old layout back.

I'm still wondering whats the difference.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Ah, right now I remembered that when I was removing NavBar, it has touched the layout too, so this is likely where it came from.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Chrono, there's one feature very simple but not without importance for me.

I have Gravity Box just for 2 - 3 features. One of them is hiding state bar/settings bar, or expanded desktop... It was possible to enable with September build but not 25/01 any more.

I consider it important for some message apps or even browsing, since this is a very small screen and sometimes I just cannot see what I'm writing.

Just wondering... would it be possible to get it back if you plan to release new build?

PD: Swipe keyboard is also smoother now.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Ah yes. I could confirm that immersive and expanded desktop is not working (I can't remember about it before though, rarely used it)

[MENTION=6542205]Culateralligator[/MENTION]

Why do you need gravity box for that? Doesn't vanir already offer that for us?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
[MENTION=2380052]shaqman[/MENTION] Maybe ... I want it on quick settings bar to switch on/off quickly when needed, but I haven't found it.

What I did was creating a shortcut with gravity box. Long press "option button" for expanded desktop on/off. Fast and very useful for me.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
If it's immersive (which does hides the status bar when activated, though not working on latest build), there is a tile for that in quick settings, which does exactly what you described.

If it's the same thing, I think you could ditch gravity box, at least for that.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Sorry, but I'm really not good in a java stuff. It seems that immersive mode has been broken since the removal of navigation bar, and I don't think I can fix it unless I add NavBar back.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I know this might be a stupid question, but could you point out to me which files are related to that navigation bar layout changes?

Also, this makes me wonder to, is there a repository for vanir specific changes? I mean, if it's the kernel changes, it's already in github, but I think I haven't found the ROM side.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
You're right. I've taken a look on settings and now I remember trying what you describe some months ago... Without success.

It doesn't work... That's why I installed gravity box -and for some features more-.

But with last release this feature of GB isn't working any more.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
There were many files related to navigation bar, therefore I've been doing a "hammer" approach, running a grep or find and deleting related to this changes.

Almost all changes on ROM side goes to patches folder in https://github.com/ChronoMonochrome/android_device_samsung_codina/tree/cm11-vanir/patches , with only exception of a few repos I've just forked and used in my local manifest.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I've restored September build backup and immersive mode wasn't working.

To be clear, cause maybe it's confusing...

September build: didn't work Vanir's immersive mode when enabling it on settings. But when installed GB expanded desktop did work.

2016/01/25: don't work immersive mode or Gravity Box's expanded desktop.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
So it either wasn't working ever or was broken earlier.

Beter performance with S6D27A1 than WS2401?

Hi all,

3 days ago I bought second ace 2. One is mine, second was for my mother. I thought that will be best choice for her.

I installed latest Vanir with newest ChronoKernel and... phone works great!

Too great :D

I had CM11 before and when I saw how new Vanir works I was very impressed. Without thinking too long I installed Vanir on my own ace2. You can't even imagine how big was my surprise when after short tests my phone works... just normally? Please, don't misunderstand me - ace 2 is working better than ever, fast, smooth, responsive.

But my mothers phone seriously is faster, smoother and more responsively

So I wanted to know difference and found that we have different LCD types. Hmm... but I thought that difference could be saw maybe on microlags or glithes... but impact on whole performance?

I'm sorry that I don't have any proof, but I need more time.

In this week I will make nandbackup from mothers phone and restore it on my phone. And make a video :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] crash613:
Sorry if this is a basic, or "stupid" question.. but i have been out of the rom game for a while. I sent my Note 8 back in for service about a year ago, and got hit with out of warranty because of root. ... so, since i got it back, i hadn't messed with it.

I am ready to move forward and had a quick question, or two.

1) I remember hearing that if you upgraded to 4.4.2 that there were problems with the s-pen not being in proper alignment. It was not correct in the official release and no ROMS fixed it. Is this still the case? if not, which ROMS do it best?

2) I vaguely remember hearing that battery life may not be as great on 4.4.2. Is this true?

3) is there any real reason to not just root 4.2.2 and leave it? any major improvements in 4.4.2 or roms that make the jump worthwhile?

thanks ! Looking forward to getting down to business with my Note 8. Most impr9otantly, with root, NO MORE ADS!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] K1979C20:
AFAIK there currently is no root available for 4.4.2.

I'm running 4.4.2, and I have no problems with my S Pen. Although, yes, the battery life is HORRIBLE. ill be at 32%, open netflix, start a show, and its down to 12%.

Hello,

Altough SnapMod is officially down for months, I still used it until today to save snaps/stories. But today SnapChat blocked the use of older version of Snapchat, since there is no update for Snapmod I can't use Snapchat anymore...

Is there any workaround you know about? Like faking your snap version (by modifying some files/headers) or any other alternative?

Thanks a lot

Hi

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a UK orange mobile galaxy NOTE 2 LTE N7105.

I want to root it, but use a stock ROM for now.

When I looked for the CF autoroot download files, I found a problem.

My build number is KOT49H.N7100XXUFNI1 , which seems to be for a N7100. I think this maybe because it got an OTA update while i was in India.

Now my questions are -

1. Which CF auto root file should I use the one that matches my actual device or the build number itself?

CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip

for the N7100 but matches my build number

or

CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.zip

for N7105(my phone) but does not match my build number

2. If I don't unlock the bootloader(i asume it is locked as I have not tried to unlock it) , will it wipe my data? and if so, how do I unlock my bootloader in the simplest way first?

Thanks
