Hi guys.

I am having problems in VoIP calls (whatsapp) echo. During calls the other party complains about hearing itself.

A similar problem has been resolved in the MI4 device: forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/122948-mi4-cm13-echo-problem/

Good morning,

since the Nightly from 29. the touch-keys' backlight is always on (although set to 2 seconds in Prefs). Is this a bug related to the new BLN code somehow?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] laptopu:
I am experiencing similar behaviour too, I think there is an issue here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Top_Fuel:
Yes, if you want to set the timeout you will need to install the BLN_MOD and synapse from play store.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rogers11:
Sure? So, why is there still a corresponding setting in Prefs - Keys? I do not want any BLN and Synapse installed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] IonutGherman:
Hi. One question: how it's generated the UUID from the internal sdcard?

From where I need to change values to modify that ugly name code? It freaks me out...

I found that in /data/system in storage.xml is generated the UUID for both internal and external sd. But when I edit the files with an shorther name like "InternalSD" and reboot after it adds a new line with default saved UUID. Hope I was understood ?

I agree, BLN needs fixing, you shold not have to instal apps to control the lights as a work around.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
Currently, if you don't want to install the BLN-MOD and Synapse you have the choice to either deactivate the "Illuminate buttons" setting completely (like I always had already), as this is still working, or you could set the timeout to a value of your choice (in milliseconds) by terminal or adb shell command (root rights needed).

So for the 1s that you want, choose:

echo 1000 > /sys/class/misc/notification/bl_timeout

Edit:

One more note: Once you switched that value it will be used regardless of the "Illuminate buttons" setting.

So to switch off button lights again, you need to reset that value to 0.

[MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION]

Any chance to find the setting that conflicts here? Or to link the CM control file (or whatever is controled by the original button settings slider) to the one used now (bl_timeout)?

No matter which timeout value you choose for defaulting, it would still make the half of users worry, why they cannot use the button settings any more.

As once giving any non-zero value there, will on the one hand ensure the button to light for that time, but on the other hand then even the enable/disable function in the button settings menue won't do any difference any more.

Sure, the setting will still be adjustable by BLN_MOD+Synapse but maybe there is a chance to make the two setting targets compatible.

Personally I had them disabled for years now and would consider 5s to be quite long. Even 3s.

Don't get me wrong, I know how to help me, I just wonder, what would be the best solution on a large scale.

Already searched a little during the last days (well honestly during nights) but did not find yet the solution yet. Just found some comments on earlier implementations, where the first approaches also suffered from the buttons remaining enlighted. In some sources I found an additional force_disable control file but don't know yet, if that took over a role there or if that was used for other things.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arnab:
I searched the cm settings repo...Il do further digging. Its just BLN is implemented on old JB drivers. What we are using is i9300 kernel cypress drivers where BLN wasnt implemented.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] makix13:
I'm playing around with differents parameters, like ntp servers or some parameters in gps.conf.

With Europe ntp servers (I'm from Spain) , it seems I can lock satellites faster than before.

But the issue in Maps still happens, searching GPS signal each 5 or 6 secs., so probably I'll move to Here,iGo or similar.

Config agps in apn section, works better to lock GPS (with only device configuration).

I use GPS test to do my tests, and with this config works great (except Maps [emoji17] ):

[MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION] 3 or 5 seconds will not make much difference I believe.. But I think BLN should be kept optional, and should be disabled at the start; users who wish to have it will enable it anyways!! It shouldn't be like sacrificing your battery life for a feature not desired by everyone! This ROM is not just for few of us who love this feature.. ;) Things should work normally (like illuminate button settings) for other users unless they activate BLN.. There should be a workaround for this, can't we do that? :confused:

[MENTION=6560258]the.gangster[/MENTION] Your opinion on this is appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I think the default behaviour should be back lights that are customizable(time out) in settings like most custom roms. BLN should be something the user chooses to have as an extra mod on the i9100.

Ideally a flashable script to enable BLN(and not just a .zip to fix the permanently lit back lights) would be perfect - if you don't care for BLN then you just leave it at default; if you want BLN then you need to flash the mod.....

I'm not sure whether this flashable .zip is possible, but if not then perhaps the answer is for someone to build CM13 kernel with BLN as defalut as it is now, and revert the BLN changes for the official kernel that is bundled with the rom.

I don't really mind either way. I don't use BLN but I don't think it is too much effort to flash the BLN_Mod and install synapse as a workaround like it is now, but this is just the most logical solution for me. Even making the back light timeout to one value without easily being able to change it in settings is more of a workaround as well(I know you can change it with terminal etc)

The question is whether there is anyone with the time to maintain a seperate kernel or script??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TriboDoP:
Hi

in this case there is some more to do.

if not done yet, you have to increase the system partition by flashing a pitfile or you will not be able to install any 6.0.1 + gapps!

(because all mm roms + gapps are too big to fit in).

and you have to install together with rom and gapps the isorec recovery by [MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION] or you will not be able to flash anything in the future

(because the cm recovery, which comes with the rom, is useless)

which worked allways fine for me:

- in odin flash pitfile 1GB system_4GB date together with gustavo kernel kk.tar with cwm recovery

- do not forget to format in CWM-recovery exactly as in the instruction by [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] (guide noob friendly how to increase system partition size)

- then install via CWM recovery the cm13 and gapps and the isorec recovery twrp 3.0.2-0.zip by [MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION] in ONE GO!

- reboot system.

for more details look in thread guide noob friendly increas system partition size by [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] on page 30 post 294

Please read also this complete thread carefully - it has all you need.

also read guide noob friendly want to update to cm 13 by [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION].

Both guides are very helpful!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arnab:
BLN is disabled by default...I can't do anything other than this...if u want some default time out for the touch keys which won't make the keys kept lit...i can implement that...other than that it's old drivers and there is no choice here....if u don't want bln ask Caio to disable it..I already mentioned there will be contingencies if bln is implemented.

Please help with Gallery.

Gallery at my S2 Cyanogenmod 6.0.1 [official nightly] show as Album some system and other applications directory with images in addition to Pictures, Movies and Camera:

mtp://[usb:003,003]/sdcard0/Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_20160602-110019.png

Is it poccible to config any exclude/include for Gallery to show as Album only selected directories?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
First of all, thank you for all the work you do, no-one is complaining. You have already done so much for the S2 community, but not everyone knows what is possible or what is too much effort to bother trying to make work. So we are just bouncing ideas to see what can and cannot work. Especially when it comes to features that require the time and effort from developers like you.

Essentially, the concern is that with BLN present in the kernel, although it is disabled by default, it conflicts with the normal working of the back lights. Ideally(and only my opinion, others may disagree), the backlights should work as intended with the option to set the timeout from settings and not have to flash any mods or run terminal commands. And if anyone wanted BLN, they could flash the kernel/mod to enable it. That would be ideal, although I suspect that would be too much work for you........

Whatever the case is, I'm happy whatever happens. Like I said earlier, it's not a big deal to flash the BLN_Mod and use synapse to control backlights, and if the only option is having a set timeout, then 3 seconds would be a good medium. I suspect no matter what decision is made, there will always be people who want BLN and others who don't......
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Draky50110:
Flashed last nightly and now Synapse can't use BLN options.

Do I need to flash BLN_MOD after each CM13 nightly flash ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pravingasva:
Thanks [MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION] for the explanation. I am too a big fan of BLN and was eagerly waiting for it to be implemented, but to disable the feature is not the solution unless we have a its concrete replacement (like BLNWW). As you said you will be working on that too in the near future, we can wait for it!! :good:

But for the time-being, I would only suggest that if there is zero possibility for BLN to work perfectly (i.e. without interfering with button illumination settings and reducing battery life considerably) you should probably concentrate on the next thing, and let people decide what they want.. We owe you a THANKS, not an HEADACHE! :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arnab:
I won't be porting blnww as I am making my own kernel for cm13...but for the sake of the battery ...il give a 3 second timeout by default...if u want to disable backlights completely just echo 0 to the bl-timeout path and u can turn the lights off...this will considerably save battery but I won't be implementing blnww as it's useless when there is a requirement of modded zips to be flashed. Neither cm will approve nor Caio will.. bln works out of the box..so it was implemented.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gent':
of course!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pravingasva:
I understand it completely, but even a custom kernel is against CM policies I think.. So why not implement BLNWW if it is so promising as it is hyped? You can always have a new thread for this feature.. there are many supporters here. ;) Out of all the CM users, only some of them must be using a "pure" CM as it is, rest all are just flashing kernels and mods to make their device even more awesome!! :cowboy:

Is is just because you want to adhere to CM policies, or it is not that promising??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arnab:
How about they wont merge it because it requires an external application which is not available.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pravingasva:
I am talking about a completely different modded BLNWW.. A thread for a new feature that doesn't corresponds to CM entirely!! What say? :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arnab:
Did I not say that I will be bringing my kernel from DU to cm13 which has blnww...it will be on separate thread.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EngineJoe:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] the.gangster:
That it is disabled by default is clearified already and in my opinion that is what it should be like, too.

But reading further - after a long day of (and at) work, leaving no time to follow up the posts - I finally read the discussion now on BLN and whether to disable it again and so on... I would also like to comment on that:

I mean, come on people. This is a developer thread and we are on nightlies. There have been so many bugs in the past already. Now, thanks to arnab an amazing feature was added and yes, it has a bug, that leads to settings menu no longer controlling the button lights timeout any longer. That's bad, but there is a solution for that, which should not exceed the capabilities of the average owner of an i9100 with CM13, who even managed to repartition, flash an alternate recovery and whatever else was needed in the past already. Now [MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION] already offered to change the default setting for the button lights from 0 (which is currently interpreted as indefinit) to 3 or 5 seconds. In my opinion, this is a suitable workaround for those, who don't want to flash a bln-mod + synapse and should at least do it for some time, to give us the time to try to find a fix for it within the implementation. In my opinion, reverting BLN already a few days after introduction again because of some minor issues, is not what I consider the best way to develop or progressing.

Sorry for valuing it as "minor" (at least once the decision to be made is no longer button lights 'off' or 'permanently on'), but as long as there are several methods to handle that, I wouldn't see it any higher.

If I wanted to lay it on thick: Those who cannot cope wtih issues like this should wait for an official stable build instead of flashing nightlies. But I would never dare to write such a thing here, so I just think to myself.

So please don't bash me ;)

Thanks [MENTION=6560258]the.gangster[/MENTION] for your opinion! :good: I think nobody here wants to revert BLN back, its what we wanted and have invested so much time in it esp. [MENTION=414800]arnab[/MENTION]...!! But there should be a way that it does not interfere with the normal working of phone and lights! You too have invested time in this, you could suggest a workaround.. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lanchon:
yes of course, most (but not all) repartitioning will erase the partition contents. in particular going from real FAT internal sdcard to an emulated /data/media sdcard is somewhat tricky if you want to keep the data in your sdcard.

so it should probably be a manual thing. if CM13 requires /data/media, maybe it should just refuse to flash unless you pit beforehand. pitting can be as easy as flashing a pitter file. the error message may direct you to it.

IMHO it's clearly better to have a /data/media device. another possibility to forcing /data/media on everybody is to have two builds registered on CM: i9100 and i9100emu (emulated storage). i think this would not be the first time this is done (see the MTD variants of the S1 family).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wdevil12:
I still cant get how data/media is better than sdcard0. cwm or cwm based recoveries will erase all the personal data every time I want to clean flash? (except twrp which doesnt format data/media or does it?)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lanchon:
recoveries apt for /data/media will not erase /data/media when you wipe /data. this is the way android works since android 4 and it works just fine. we are not creating anything new here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lysergic Acid:
Great! Thanks for testing it mate, maybe it was just a not good weather condition when I tested :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wdevil12:
I got it now. what about mtp connection? will that detect media partition as sdcard? can we copy files from pc without adb? if so, nothing stops us having it. btw how will affect going back to lollipop or lower, i mean they wont mount media partition as internal one, right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lysergic Acid:
I just asked about it and the final answer given to me was that we can request a repit of the users, but by any means, we are not allowed to require a data wipe. Kind of a huge problem there..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kudos1uk:
Surly CM13 has a lot of potential to slim it down so the smallest Gapps will fit, there really are a lot of system apps that could just as easily be added later from the Play store? That way they don't clog up valuable system space.

The truth is a lot of those apps and even Gapps components are better added later from the Play store, they all get updated eventually anyway and the old outdated copy just ends up clogging the system and it's the new upgraded copy that's in day to day use.

Could the CM apps be added by a second zip so they sit in the data folder instead of system, I mean thing like Trebuchet Launcher, music manager, file manager etc etc. This would be a good approach as you are good to go with the things you need like a launcher and ones we don't like can be easily removed and replaced.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Naudiz:
Wouldn't data wipe be needed anyways when coming from different rom?
