Hello guys! My phone runs really slow lately and I cant figure out if its normal or not. Most of the times, usually after unlocking screen from deep sleep and try to open facebook or browse internet, it takes almost a minute for the app to become ready and still after that it runs choppy. I tried to change governor to interactive and also used sio for i/o but no significant change. I also deleted cache but nothing again. Any ideas/suggestions? Is it a problem with my phone, a problem with new app's demanding updates or something else? Oh one last thing. Everytime i connect the phone to the wall charger everyhing runs slow and choppy.. Cant explain that either. Tx in advance...

Has anyone else had troubles recording videos? I can't and it is annoying because no camera app that I try (open camera, a better camera, l camera...) will work.. When I want to stop recording, the app will freeze and the system will prompt me to force close it.

Any advice?

Hello to all,

I would have two question for you:

1) I can not find the bug list on the front page? This means that this rom is without bugs?

I use all day smartphone, so I can not afford to have an unstable device. This rom how it behaves in everyday use?

2) in the case that the rom is stable, which recommended recovery to install the rom?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] affigne:
1) Yes! it's actually pretty much bugless and stable. If you're gonna use it as a common android device, be sure to repartition your memory so you can install the opengapps (picor or small, just so you can have playstore and google accounts).

2) TWRP
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saetta88:
thx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Chakapack:
Repartition is not a must. I installed this Minimal with Pico without problems.

The rom is very stable with a good battery life (is not better than stock). Install Google Camera 2.7 apk from apkmirror (since 3.0+ is only for M) and you will not have problems with recording videos.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saetta88:
Perfect thanks

Which recovery do you recommend to install this ROM?

I currently have "CWM kikkat compatible i9100", what should I use?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Saetta88:
I installed everything, perfect this ROM.

BUT

Where can I find the "Google camera" for this rom?

good

I moved from Slim 4.4.4 to this release, using heimdall and jodin on linux. Windows 10 has issues and would not work properly.

- updated twrp to AOSP-LP-Kernel+_25-08-2015_TWRP-2.8.7.0 from 2.7.x

- changed partion tablle also using arnab PIT file

- boot into recovery format wipe /system /data, /cache, /dalvk, /emmc, turned off

- flashed twrp 3.0.2.0 - stil 2.8.7.0 until

- i installed gapps pico and minimalos from 2.8.7.0

- twrp updates to v3

- installed supersupro and triangle away and kernel adiutor

- max 1Ghz/ondemand/noop

- flashed modem to XXKI3 using heimdall

overall it's good, liked more the dark theme of SLIM and integrated kernel settings instead of app but no problem, no fc gps works

Things I'm not clear on:

- is the AOSP-LP-Kernel+_25-08-2015_TWRP-2.8.7.0 a kernel or a recovery (or both) ? are they related to a particular ROM ? are they separate kernels ?

- Slim had SlimKernel and SlimSaber MinimalOS has both the kernel in the same package ?

- I case I want to downgrade to 4.4.4 again will TWRP revert to 2.8 version ?

- I don't like the white background in the apps drawer. I tried Layers but either I'm not selecting the right options or It's not suppose to work.

- should I use another fs for my external flash drive instead of fat ?

- what's the largest battery for this device that I can get my hands on ? (I read here that there a 2.600mAh version)

- Can selected apps be terminated if left unused for a long enough time ?

- Should /system remain readonly if I'm planning to use only twrp ?

Overall it was an easy install, it's snappy, no fc, no crash

edit: - it reboots while in recovery mode

Can't make Nandroid backup

I am having issues trying to make a Nandroid backup as it simply "dies" in the middle of doing so.

Chosen boxes: boot, system, data

The first two completes normally but in the middle of "Backing up data" it just goes black, shows the Galaxy S2 boot screen and proceeds to boot normally into Android, essentially rebooting. I went back into recovery and when I choose one of the backups in Restore it only contains boot and system.

I was on the bundled TWRP recovery when I first encountered the issue so I ruled out the recovery by flashing Isorec, first being TWRP 3.0.2-1, then later TWRP 2.8.7.0. Nether fixed it so it might be the ROM, I'm not sure.

Other than that the ROM (Android) itself works great! :) Just can't do a Nandroid for some reason :(

Phone: i9100

ROM: MinimalOS-v3.0-UNOFFICIAL-20160213-i9100.zip (Build 7)

I flashed the rom like its said in the instructions. Went fine, but now I cannot enter recovery mode and during the installation, gapps (ARM - 5.1. stock) failed to install.

I knew something would go wrong :P

Should I flash another AOSP kernel with odin, like this one http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60824013&postcount=3 and how ?

btw. I used this kernel to flash Minimal ROM (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/cwm-kit-kat-compatible-t2546597).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TriboDoP:
Hi

if you have not increased system and data partition you can only flash small package of gapps like open gapps pico (which are recommended in op)

you used the proper kernel (kk kompatibel is fine).

Also you can flash the AOSP kernel twrp in odin.

After this you should flash rom, open pico gapps and isorec-recovery twrp 3.0.2-0

But when your are going to flash in odin anyway i would highly recommend to flash the pitfile 1GB system_4GB data aswell.

Because then you will be able to flash bigger gapps and much more important you will be able to flash any 6.0.1 rom with gapps!

in this case please read and follow carefully the noob friendly guides by [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] "how to increase system partition" and "you want to update to cm13".

In short: flash pitfile and a gustavo kernel

format according to guide

then flash LP or MM rom with gapps and isorec recovery twrp 3.0.2-0 in one go - do not reboot in between (important !!)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] samad909:
I have tried installing this ROM with GApps but I keep failing. After putting in a lot of hours and not getting the result expected I am posting here for help.

I wanted to resize my system partition first so I followed this guide - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162

I used this pit file - I9100_1GB-System_4GB-Data_512MB-Preload.pit

The kernels I tried using - MinimalOS's kernel itself (TWRP 2.8.7.0) / DorimanX V12.0b011-[19-28]-[07-08] / PhilZ-cwm6-XXLS8-FOP-4.01

After flashing via Odin and rebooting to recovery, I formatted sdcard0. Then I formatted /data, /system and /cache. I then tried to install the new ROM after doing an adb push because I do not have an external SD.

I was able to flash MinimalOS without any issues but GApps kept failing due to low space, so when I rebooted in to recovery again I noticed that the system reverted back to 512 MB without me doing anything.

I have tried this multiple times with the different kernels listed above. I saw a recommendation to try the Gustavo kernel in a few posts above this one so I tried finding it but apparently the download links have been removed - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-gustavo-kernel-lollipop-t3269771

What am I doing wrong? Any help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TriboDoP:
Hi

gustavo kernel is for me always best choice for repartioning/formating and finally flashing LP or MM.

Which always worked perfectly for me:

In Odin flash pitfile 1GB System_4GB Data together with gustavo kernel KK 04 02 with CWM recovery

reboot into CWM recovery and format: select "mounts and storage / format sd0 (internal sd card) / select default" (look noob friendly guide by [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION]: how to increase system partition)

Then you can make a clean flash of LP/MM rom with open pico gapps TOGETHER WITH isorec recovery twrp 3.0.2-0 in one go (to not reboot in between!!)

pico gapps work best (not all other gapps work) and isorec recovery is very important to have a good working recovry.

in case you cant find the gustavo kernel i am pretty sure i have this one stored somewhere on my pc and could send it to you (PM or E-Mail).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] samad909:
Please PM me a link for the Gustavo kernel that worked for repartitioning and flashing the files you mentioned.

Regarding TWRP, their website seems to have v3.0.2-1 now, I guess this will work as well?

Once I received the kernel I will follow your guide exactly ie,

1. Flash 1GB_4GB pit and Gustavo kernel provided

2. Boot in to recovery, format /sdcard as default and then flash this ROM (MinimalOS) together with pico openGApps and then the TWRP image I listed above without rebooting

I will update here after doing this.

Awaiting the kernel link.

Thanks!

EDIT: I found this link - http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=7558#downloads

Will any kernel from here work? Or do I need to select a specific one? Please advice.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TriboDoP:
Hi [MENTION=7679391]samad909[/MENTION]

In odin you need a gustavo kernel in .tar file (not a zip file).

and then to flash in cwm recovery rom zip and gapps zip you need also the twrp 3.0.2-0.zip (not the img.file - you can later update to this one).

you find the twrp zip in the thread "recovery isorec twrp 3.0.2-1..... at the beginnining of thread is a black bar. In this bar tick on "download" for the link.

For gustavo kk kernel 04-02 cwm.tar please search yourself. I have no link (but the file on my pc)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TriboDoP:
Hi [MENTION=7679391]samad909[/MENTION]

Where to find gustavo kernel KK 04-02 CWM for ODIN.tar:

look for thread "Kernel Guide Conversion convert zip to .tar" by [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION]

in post 4 you find several tar-kernels and also the gustavo kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cedsim:
BOOT and preload size

Format don't depend of the kernel but just of the recovry ( CWM or TWRP) inclued in, you can just flash pti and recovry by ODIN, and boot to recovry without kernel.

For me after flash pti by odin i have to format all part in TWRP ( system, data and Sd0) before to instal zip of the ROM.

I test diferent PTI, MinnimalOS boot with 512 Preload but not with 95 Mo preload.

I use 512 preload, 1GB system and 6GB data without problem with kernel ans twrp inclued in zip of this ROM.

Hope you arrive to instal this amazing ROM.

If somone manage to find a camera app that don't crash or turn off the phone when you record it should be realy nice for me.

Not realy speed GPS fix for me, I put the good server on GPS.cof without change but gpxfix and gps reset make the fix little more fast ( 5 minute insted of 10, it's already long )

And i'm always waiting for the best modem for France ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] samad909:
[MENTION=7031250]TriboDoP[/MENTION] & [MENTION=7560488]cedsim[/MENTION]: Thanks for the advice. I followed the method listed exactly ie,

1. Flash 1GB_6GB pit and Gustavo kernel provided

2. Boot in to recovery, format /sdcard as default and then flash this ROM (MinimalOS) together with pico openGApps and then the ISORec TWRP 3.0.2-0 image I listed above without rebooting.

The install succeeded, however when I checked /system size in recovery (via Wipe>Advanced>System>Repair) it says that the size is 503 MB and 451 MB is already used. Therefore I have only 41 MB available in system. Does this mean I can only install apps within this 41 MB now? Shouldnt the 1 GB_6GB pit file assign 1 GB to /system?

EDIT: I have noticed another bug ie the location /storage/sdcard0/ is not writeable from within MinimalOS after doing the above. When I try to do a adb push from the PC it shows up as read only filesystem. I tried downloading something from the web browser and it says insufficient space so I guess the filesystem is in read only mode. How can I fix this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TriboDoP:
hi [MENTION=7679391]samad909[/MENTION]

you could use the free app "CPU-Z" from playstore to check size)

i am on 1 GB system and 4 GB data (and a rom of about 280 MB and pico or nano gapps and about 115 apps)

This app shows me (under device): Total RAM 786 MB, available RAM 188 MB , internal storage 3,94 GB , available storage 0,94 GB

so you should have something like this (and internal store even 2 GB more) which means you should be able to install quite a number of apps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] samad909:
[MENTION=7031250]TriboDoP[/MENTION]: Thanks for the update about that, I will look in to it shortly. What about the read only issue (please check my edit in the last post)?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TriboDoP:
hi

i am not sure but i think it has something to do with formatting internal storage.

maybe [MENTION=5302255]atuser[/MENTION] could help you - he solved a similar problem in his post 260 (have a look)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] samad909:
I was able to fix this by booting in to recovery and formatting the sdcard as ext4 (it was in vfat) - Wipe>Advanced>sdcard/emmc>Change Filesystem>ext4

Still not sure about /system having only 503 MB whereas pit file is supposed to make it 1 GB. Without the /system partition being 1 GB there is no way to flash bigger ROMs/GApps, I think I will ask around in the other thread.

Thanks for the help, finally got the i9100 running pretty smoothly!

Next task: Fix the battery level jumping from 60% to 10% on a new battery, wish me luck haha.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TriboDoP:
[MENTION=7679391]samad909[/MENTION]

I believe your pitfile did not work right, thats why i (and many others) use always 1 GB_4 GB (and you sure did tick on "repartitioning" when flashing pitfile?!)

Best wishes For your battery-live.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] samad909:
This was the same issue I had with all kernels so I thought it was a kernel issue and kept trying different kernels. Initially I was applying 1GB_4GB (yes repartition was enabled), but the system would still show up as ~500 MB, no matter what I did. After giving up I posted here and looks like the issue still exists even when using Gustavo, I am not sure what I am doing wrong but AFAIK I have done everything listed to the letter in the partition resize guide.

Haha thanks, but I am not sure where the problem is because I got a new battery and the charge was at ~60%, after a hard reboot it went to 16%! Could this be because of some fault in the phone itself?
