[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
Well it really is nowhere near "constant launcher restart" here - i only see from time to time it takes pretty long to redraw the launcher after you exit an app. I agree that is probably due to ram constraints on our device. I was only wondering if one could influence the order in which background apps are killed. after all the launcher should be killed last? I followed the last suggestion in my mentioned thread and activated GPU rendering of 2D surfaces - that seems to have helped quite a bit.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:
You could try another launcher, e.g. Nova. I have some redraws as well, but pretty seldom. Furthermore there's an option in the settings to keep redraws to a minimum, though i haven't tried it yet, will try to upload a screenshot in a moment.

edit: the option at the bottom
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
Thanks for that advice. I will try that out if the setting for forced GPU rendering of 2D surfaces has disadvantages that I cannot foresee at the moment. right now the phone over all seems more responsive and zapping through pages is more fluid with this function on so I will keep it for a while and watch out for the impact on the battery...

What's "Trimmer"?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
An app that offers to manually invoke the inbuilt trim command that Android triggers quite seldom and that optimizes nand access. Results often in better access speed. Its free - try it and report back...

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
How has that one worked out - already got an opinion on this? Came to me because you talked about the updated camera wrapper...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] adxamg:
I decided to implement some of these changes directly in cm13 test builds.

There are currently not many actively maintained omap4 devices left. But the few devs working on it, switched to updated sources (hardware_ti_omap4...) and replaced many proprietary files with open source. This is expected to be more future safe. We could use many of these changes for our device. Unfortunately cm13 is currently not booting on i9100g.

btw i did not see any other released android 6 rom for an omap4/sgx540 device. Somebody knows one?

I have a rather often emerging bug here: “documents“ will close when you try to e.g. choose a wallpaper image or add an attachment to an email (if you choose e.g. recent/image/...) - you can partly circumvent by choosing your file with another program.

To reproduce: e.g. Create an email and try to attach a file from the recents Category...

logcat here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3xv3yz8b94khnbs/Crash of documents.txt?dl=0

If there is something on my end I can do I am thankful for advice...

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] adxamg:
No problem here to add files/images from recent category with two email programs. Gmail and another one. Also no error when i choose a wallpaper image from recent category. Can't open your logcat, i get an error 'ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED'.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
Ok, I think I tracked the direction of it down:

Upon installing this (or any ROM) i just copy back certain folders (like DCIM) from the Internal SD Card so that I have some of my data back. I realised now that all those files have the same date - the date I copied the folders to my new installation! If I take a screenshot and add that one via the "recents" all works fine. If I take any of those copied over (all with the same date) the "documents" app crashes! :confused:

In theory I would need to somehow restore the original dates of the files - perhaps a sd rescan would do....? suggestions?

Please try this link to the logcat (got that directly from the dropbox-web-page, opend it up right now successfully): https://www.dropbox.com/s/3xv3yz8b94khnbs/Crash%20of%20documents.txt?dl=0
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] toppits:
Quick Pic can help with that. It has an option to correct the date. I'd recommend to use version 4.5.2. Why? read here or here (ger). Both threads provide an apk with version 4.5.2 signed. I used the one from android-hilfe but I'm pretty sure the one from xda works just as fine.

When you have the app, start it, go to the folder where you want the dates corrected, menu button -> "correct date"(or sth. like that) / Datum korrigieren
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
After poking around a bit it seems the date problem is now beyond repair for me as I only have copies of the original files. Only thing could be to prevent "documents" from crashing under such circumstances.....

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] adxamg:
A bug in android, first reported 2011 and still not fixed, when i read this thread correct :mad:
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
I know it's not directly related to this ROM but I thought you might wanna know: If I had known earlier it would have been very easy. This App here does cure just this. It copies a directory structure to a destination (e.g. external sd-card) while creating a txt file with the original timestamps for every given file. Then later with this app you can copy back and get the timestamps back also.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.pogsoftwares.filetimestamp&hl=de

Luckily for pictures it works also with exif infos of the files so it did cure me for the most important part! (thanks [MENTION=4643647]toppits[/MENTION] for you solution - only drawback was that quickpic does not cover batch operations and therefor was impractical for many pictures....)

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
[MENTION=5813522]adxamg[/MENTION]: Did you have success with this? I would gladly like to test it as I could'nt get rid of the camera app freezes otherwise....
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] adxamg:
Try this test build (Download removed). I used omnirom camerawrapper.cpp source code.

I did not test it.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
Couldnt wait and tested it right away (thanks for whacking at this problem) - hate to say that it does not really solve the disconnects of camera. Now the preview of recorded clips appears in the viewer and sometimes even if I wait the camera app wont crash but most of the time it still does. Photos work fine as usual...

I earlier tested Omnirom 5.1.1 and crDroid 5.1.1 - both of them had a fine working camera for me (no disconnects). As crDroid is also cm 12.1 based it is much closer to your base and perhaps it would be worth a shot taking the same camera related code as they did? Thats only my very uneducated guess. I will leave this CW-Test base on my phone for the time being of you need any more info.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] adxamg:
Another test build with two changes. Waiting for feedback, did not test this build. (Download removed now)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
You see I am a late night runner - couldn't get to it earlier. I am not sure all changes for into the build [emoji6] but probably build strings are not generated automatically. I only checked to be sure I did flash correctly. Did a cache and dalvik wipe after flashing.

The problem persists:

Sometimes camera does not crash but most of the time...

I did not clean out directory, then it uses already compiled files which are not changed since last build. Changed files should be recompiled. But to be sure i will rebuild the whole thing again and upload it later.

Hi guys ,

One question why the dialer of cm12.1 lags ?

Is there any way to fix it from lag

Thank you :)

I don't recall which thread it was but someone mentioned that keeping free RAM above 100 MB is critical to keeping this device working properly. I see the same too, it's like that last 100 MB of RAM is dead slow compared to the rest of the RAM. So I keep fighting to have at least 100 MB of RAM free by carefully selecting apps and going easy on tweaks that increase memory consumption. Any ROM I install works fine for a few hours and then stuff starts getting really slow.

Well, i uploaded all my local changes to github last days. But it does not mean, there is a solution for bootlooping cm13 rom.

I don't even have a bootlog of it, because kernel does not boot. And only way to get a bootlog in this case is a usb-uart-interface (for example http://www.de7ec7ed.com/2013/09/uart-dongle-samsung-galaxy-siii.html), which i don't have. Someone reading this could help? I asked Jiangyi, to send me his bootlog, but no reaction so far.

I did with your guide and used Rom not SOD for 2 days.

I guess you didn't try the version yet. It's rock stable imo, and that for a while already. Beside the not working torch from quick tiles everythings working for me (third party torch apps and camera can use torch fine though).

You ask for a final stable version, but here you get something much much better, that not Samsung nor any other manufacturer provides for any phone that's so freaking old (or for any phone at all?!):

You get a rock stable (NOT final) version with monthly security updates!

How do you like that? :)

big thx again!

I am looking to buy a new phone for a while now, but won't (don't want to and at the moment can't) buy a phone that costs more than 300€ (350€ if it really fits me 150%). My best find so far is the ZUK Z1, but I'm waiting for their next phone and how good their support for the Z1 will be, before I decide.

As soon as I got a new phone though I'll be happily become another alpha tester for your ROM. I hope it'll be soon :D

Clean install from 4.4 using CWM and again it didn't boot or get into recovery, I had to flash stock via Odin.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
Did you change partitions somehow? You could try to flash twrp via Odin (2.8.7.0) and then go into recovery. There you could flash the ROM. I did this multiple times (but to be honest not with the latest build)

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100G mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] JamesMars:
Can you flash TWRP via Odin directly? Does it go under PDA?

Yesterday I repartitioned the phone to 8gb internal storage. So went back to stock Jellybean 4.12, Blazing Kernel v16, newer TWRP and then finally this ROM. Worked fine.

So far the phone is quite responsive and much better than when I previously used this ROM a couple of months ago with only 2gb stock internal partitions size.

Thank you so much for bringing current CM versions to this phone. It's so nice to use a clean and minimal ROM.

ı was install twice in yesterday. rom working firstly. but ı want to go recovery mode its show me samsung logo after not show nothing. recovery and rom not work. its just black screen. download mode is work. ı install stock rom after ı get recovery mode. my phone not repertition. ı use blazing twrp and twrp 2.8.7 the same.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
So adxamg, Can you Use the Recovery in your Setup? As i understand it eray0687 could use the ROM until he tried to access recovery. After that everything was borked...

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100G mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] JamesMars:
I have the same issue.

Played with DPI settings which worked for one change, then set it back to default which upon reboot made the phone bootloop with super slowed down boot animation.

Then wanted to enter recovery which resulted in eray's problem: black screen after Samsung logo. Now only download mode works....

Is there any way how I can avoid having to redo the whole flashing and setup procedure? I'd just settled into this ROM again.....
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] adxamg:
The same here. After entering recovery phone does not boot (only download mode).

Solution: Flash CWM-Recovery.tar. Boot into recovery, flash TWRP. Boot into TWRP and flash build 20160203 until this is fixed. You should not loose any data by doing this.

edit: Just checked source code. One line of code is missing in CyanogenMod/android_external_sepolicy/recovery.te. I need to set recovery permissive, in order to use twrp. Cause i tested cm-13.0 on this machine, this was overwritten when syncing sources. Build of new rom is in process now, i will check if it's working and upload a new file. When you already flashed 20160309, flash a working rom/recovery in download mode (cwm-recovery for example).
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] McConnor:
Or you might flash twrp 2.8.7.0 right away
