Maybe you are right, I never found out what happens when using faulty PITs, as I've always just used PITs which I carefully created myself ;)

That being said, I just want to stress out that it is perfectly possible to run CM12.1 with a small /preload. I have created a bunch of PITs with 768MB system & minimal preload, which are tested to work with CM12.1 and are definitely bug-free (I use the 6GB-data version right now, see attachment).

You can find them here, if you like: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55461355&postcount=745

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] daniu:
Hi

Is this a reformatting thread now?

Yes - there are some faulty pit-files out there ... once you find it not working properly: go look for another pit-file. If you got problems: ask in a thread about that topic ... 好不好?

Hey dude,

no sry it was cm12.1 related and some tried him help install cm12.1 nightly, so he can use it and may do report bugs, problems, and so on... 好不好? ;) :)

Sry for offtopic.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lukss12:
It's nice to see you guys want to help this dude at any cost... But [MENTION=1601710]daniu[/MENTION] is right, this is NOT repiting thread and it is NOT a CM 12.1 problem (this ROM can run with stock partitions).The correct answer is: "flash stock with repit and start again with another pit file"

You need to understand people that uses this thread to trace real ROM bugs and lost a lot of time digging into a bunch of offtopic (and mostly already answered or useless ones) to find the important ones.

If you want to give someone an especial help just PM him/her.

If you want to get thanked for your help, show him/her the right thread and help there.

No lag here.(may be your phone is overloaded with other apps, that may cause lag) I don't see the point on wasting more memory for recent apps screenshots... Never heard of a ROM with that capability.

Please delete the double post you made and wait a reasonable time for your questions to be answered.

Always feel lag when there is a incoming call. It takes a long time for the answer button to pop up and sometimes I cannot answer the call before it hangs up.

Anyone has same experience? I have installed GravityBox and CM settings(xposed). Not sure if they casue the problem.

Any idea on how to fix this? This is the only issue i have with cm12 but this makes my phone unusable..

try in build.prop the following line:

By default is 3000,seems to me to high.

0 means disable delay, increase the value till you feel comfortable

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] oscarlamyf:
Thank you. The call_ring.delay is about how late will the ringtone starts. My phone's problem is not the delay. My phone vibrates when there is incoming call but the answer call interface/button/head up shows only after a few seconds.

I found that this lag seems could be fixed by killing recent apps to release RAM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Linskun:
Try to disable zram and see if it fix the lag.

Hi,

for those like me who flashed the 1GB pit and then updated with nighlies, will the /system partition go back to 1GB or I'll have to flash the pit again?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sharp87:
no need to flash pit again and u r already on 1gb system partition now unless you r going back to stock partition... just flash the latest nightly and it will bring the 1gb system partition back instead of 512mb ..

i tried cm12.1 and it worked well for me but i guess i need to flash the pit files for 1GB system partition and 6GB data partition as during cm12.1 i was getting low disk so moved back to cm11 latest nightlies, now my question is can we flash pit while in cm11, then restore cm11 nandroid to make the boot boot properly then go do a clean cm12.1 install?

secondly the CM recovery doesnt have any backup and restore options so will that be added later or it wont?

Phone Bug Report

Hi Lysergic Acid

I am using the latest nightly build working fine with little lag, but i am facing phone call issue. When am not using any app i get incoming call properly but if i am using any app like whatsapp or message and if i get incoming call at that time the phone keeps on flickering with no person name or any button to pick up the call.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eminem_b:
When I flashed official first nightly on top of the unofficial build (using the CM gapps), I wasn't able to flash anything anymore because of the data problem. Anyway, I used Odin to flash CWM since I had no choice and I did a full wipe and got to the latest nightly (04.07 at that time). Now my question is, will I be able to update normally with the nightly builds using TK-Gapps on top? Can someone confirm?

Compass problem

Hi,

first thank you for your perfect work. With the Philz recovery workaround i was able to install the playstore and now it works really good :D. But the Compass only works with Google Maps. With c:geo and GPS Status it only shows in one direction.

Installed is build 0705. Did someone have an answer or will it be fixed in a future nightly?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dr.Fix:
I think thata a huge optimization work should be done... i.e. apps staying in memory foreverer, they never get released...

after a day of usage I have 20+ apps open, of course they become slower and slower... with KK after4-5 apps the older were automatically closed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Please use greenify to help the performance and battery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ferretx:
I think this is what your looking for.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p3dboard:
I find that the compass seems to be not initialised properly, the smart tools app which has a compass tells you to move the phone in a figure 8 pattern to initialise the compass properly. Once i do that, other apps like starwalk 2 which can use the compass are more accurate

Edit: try androits gps test, it has a compass as well and it seems to work fine. Might be a bug in the other gps test app with android 5.1.1

How to disable zRam? I tried the swapoff script but I dont know if it works.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Linskun:
With Kernel adiutor you can disable zram
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pilgrim011:
Only until next reboot.

Btw. has anyone noticed random network (RIL) crashes? Well, not that random - it happens on a regular basis when transferring lot of data via mobile network (downloading movie via torrent, streaming etc.). The device completely looses signal, sometimes even showing no SIM, after a minute or so, it's back to normal... The same thing happens on other LP ROMs, but never on Kitkat. Should I supply modem log or something else?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lPatriciaNl:
Hello,

Could someone told me: how hunger is CM12.1 with GPS usage (e.g. with Strava) in difference with CM11?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] wdevil12:
Yes, definitely. Its what I face while downloading gigabytes at full speed for hours. the signal suddenly drops showing no network or sim and appears again 3,4seconds later. I think the reason should be the overheating caused by using the CPU at full throttle. But who knows..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pilgrim011:
Thank you for confirmation. I've uploaded all logs minute after this happened, including modem.log, so if anyone could look at this (maybe [MENTION=4141005]Lanchon[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5948587]zeitferne[/MENTION], since LA is on the vacation), that would be great.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fireburner-de:
I observed, that opening apps, that haven't been open for a while, might have up to 20s delay when opening. This happens, after several hours of system uptime. I am at around 140h now.

Anyone observed similar behaviour?

Additionally I got a short freeze, combined with a System UI has stopped, afterwards.

I attached logcat, dmesg and kmsg from about 1min after this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] j1gga84:
I noticed the same and thought it is a RAM problem but when I check it I still have about 300MB free and scrolling and navigating through system is running normal, maybe it has something to do with activated zRAM?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pilgrim011:
Since I've disabled ZRAM via Kernel Adiutor, I've a feeling that the device is much smoother, without these huge lags. I'll keep observing...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] j1gga84:
Even this should be enough that system runs smooth, under KK sometimes I also had only about 100-200MB free and system runs without any problems, since LP it gets worse and CM team did not get it under control which is very sad but our device is old and official development stopped long time ago, we have to keep that in mind so it is a respectable achievement of the CM team that they still support the I9100, even CM13

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] juniorhxcx:
Hello, I needed your help.

I believe this problem other than the ROM, as tested with other (Stock, OmniROM, Cm11 and CM12.1).

My phone's nothing it off as if there were more battery but when you connect it to the battery percentage has halved. Example: was 100% loaded off there to turn it on again is kind of 56%.

Time to call, I need to put it in the boot, but he thinks he has no battery charge. The restarts are random.

I've tried to reset the system file to a percentage of the battery, making the procedure as seen in some forums. I bought a brand new and original battery, the only problem persists.

I am suspicious that there should be some short on his card or USB connector.

Someone went through it? Would you help me?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theboyetronic:
Hello,

I'm sorry I'm not able to sorta help trace this down to an exact build or date or anything as my USB cable is buggy and it has taken me a while to be able to even consider grabbing the information off the phone to report this, However I've been having a random reboot when using 'sleep as android', Maybe it reboots elsewhere and I just don't notice it, but this is a real annoyance when you're tryna sleep and the phone buzzes as it reboots!

I've included the logcat, willing to provide any additional info while I remember too as requested if needed, I've reinstalled CM with open gapps (I'm not sure why I didn't use the recommended gapps package, However, this "shouldn't" be an issue as far as my experience of android...)

Can't backup with TWRP anymore

I've been using the TWRP 2.8.7.0 Recovery with the CM12.1 Nightlies since I did the PIT partition.

For about the last month I've not been able to perform a Boot, System, Data backup.

I can backup Boot and System but it throws an ERROR when trying to backup the Data partition.

I've been hanging on hoping that an iteration of the nightlies would bring it back but no luck so far/

Today's Error message:

E:createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255

Without a current backup I've been afraid to do a Clean Flash in case I lose my Data.

I may be wrong there but I'm not sure...

I can't see any way to do nandroid backups with the stock CM recovery.

Any ideas ?

Also I've forgotten which bits to format , remount etc to do a proper Clean install.

It's been so long.

I used to use the CWM Recovery 6.2.0.9 before the PIT change so I'm not fully familiar with TWRP
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lanchon:
nightlies don't come with TWRP! flash latest isorec twrp (just once, you don't need to do this with each nightly!), then flash latest cm nightly. then try again.

arnab does i9100 TWRP, you want to talk to him (not LA) if twrp has problems. you can discuss twrp problems in the isorec thread.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kozmyk:
Lanchon - Thanks for the reply.

I know TWRP doesn't come with the Nightlies ROM, i9100 ROMs come with kernel and recovery attached.

After flashing the nightlies, I've been reflashing the TWRP recovery with the "stock_kernel_twrp_1020-signed.zip for the Samsung Galaxy S 2, by LysergicAcid" from the link on Post #1

It used to let me do a nandroid backup from recovery mode and now it doesn't.

Thanks for the isorec twrp info.

I'll check it out.

Do you know if it is compatible with the 1GB boot partition that the PIT mod gives the S2 ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] levio:
I think you have this problem because in the last Nightlies are made modifications to the kernel, so when you flash the "stock_kernel_twrp_1020-signed.zip for the Samsung Galaxy S 2, by LysergicAcid" with the last nightlies you have problem.

But it is only a hypothesis. People like [MENTION=4141005]Lanchon[/MENTION] and LA and other know much more than me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Naudiz:
1GB boot partition??? ?

If you mean 1GB system, then yes, TWRP has no problems whatsoever with this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kozmyk:
Yes Sorry, my Derp :silly:

I was juggling a few things when I posted.

Multi-tasking clearly not my strong suit.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Boolian:
Known issue

It's a known issue which is a result of Samsung's refusal to open source the video drivers. The best we have is "reverse-engineered" code for the S2.

A great effort but still buggy.

In saying that, CM12.1 video has been pretty stable recently.

I use 'Daily Roads Voyager' dashcam app which would not run on anything other than a JB based rom. It has been running well on CM12.1 for the last few months.

However, I recently installed one of the latest nightlies (2016-0114 I think, co-incidentally) and it started crashing again with the same errors you have.

I reverted back to the "YOGD" stable release and it was fine. I'm now running nightly 2016-0113 and its still OK.

Try flashing back to the stable release, see if that cures it.
