I was trying to update Google and install the XDA app.

I'm back on aospa latest build.

(2 more, this should be it) Announcements!

1. My replacement SIM/SD card tray finally came in the mail today ('bout damn time!)

I installed it successfully.

Enough with my Granny Smith of a phone. I'm on my Skyrocket now! :cool:

----------------------------

2. As you may/may not know, the #1 rule about the Celox is that we don't talk about the Celox don't install Facebook, Chrome, or (Facebook) Messenger, as they have drastic negative effects on performance and take up obscene amounts of storage.

Facebook was replaceable with either Metal or going to the mobile site, and Chrome could be replaced with the default browser or Firefox. Messenger, however, was not replaceable because the mobile site forces you to download the app.

Until now.

Drum roll please…

I announce my new finding (thanks to the short-lived XDA announcement) of a replacement for Messenger, ironically designed by Facebook!

Messenger Lite!​

You probably haven't heard of it because:

The app was just recently released a few days ago

It is so awesome that Facebook is afraid to post it in the Play Store in most countries, including the US.

It is basically Zuckerberg saying "We screwed up big time. Start over from scratch. And do it right this time, without all this garbage."

I mean, just watch the announcement video:

[YOUTUBE]EyzPJ7m1sm0[/YOUTUBE]

It doesn't take up remotely as much memory or storage as the full thing does. The things that you do miss out on are stickers, inflatable emoji (you only get ":good:"), chat heads, or most other attachments. You can attach pictures, though.

If you are in Kenya, Tunisia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, or Venezuela, you can simply download it from the Play Store.

Otherwise, most of you should download it from APKMirror here. Don't worry, APKMirror is reputable. Make sure to enable Unknown Sources.

Facebook Lite (APKMirror, Play Store) is only decent at best, though. You will be more likely to be able to install it if you aren't in the US. However, it is ugly and has no significant advantages over the mobile site or Metal, aside from probably decreased memory usage. It is still worth a look, though. Get the latest beta one.

Because it is on APKMirror, you will not get automatic updates on the Play Store. You will have to check periodically or use Pushbullet to get updates from them.

Wait. That's impossible! I'm on AT&T, not T-Mobile!

I mean, in my location, (my house).

Here is my signal graph.

I am on UCNJ1. Anybody else noticing weak signal on this build?

On my S3, I would switch to H+, but because of Samsung's picky RIL, that doesn't work…

@javelinanddart

Let's settle on an agreement. OK?

AT&T is not better than T-Mobile.

Am I right?

That's because it's vastly superior!

:cool: Booya! :victory:​

Tmo ftw! (Even though my skyrocket gets nearly no signal in my area.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Well, tbh, using a Skyrocket on Tmo is guaranteed a bad signal. The radio runs on a completely different frequency that the Skyrocket doesn't support. The only signal that you get is the newer, refarmed, lower, better, more supported frequency towers that Tmo has only recently started putting up.

If you aren't on a contract and your phone is unlocked (which if you're on T-Mo, it probably is), you should try Net10. Sign up with a credit card and it's $45/mo for 5GB on AT&T. Make sure you pick the blue pill SIM.

But, that does grant me the ability to call you a traitor! ;)

Alright, back on topic, peoplez.

Celox App Alternatives​

I would like to introduce (well, I guess I mentioned it earlier), a made-by-me list of bloated app alternatives for the Celox in Google Docs.

I linked it in my sig under Useful Links, or you could click on the title above.

Comments about your favorite app replacements are welcome. Google Docs comments, just click on and reply to the comments on the side for suggestions. Or, you can PM me.

However, please don't just type in the Doc, it makes things messy.

Please be respectful, I didn't go through the effort of making this to get spammed.

And I styled it (manually) like XDA…because I wanted to. :p

That should be it for announcements.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dimapoter:
PI, I have a problem. Phone and contacts are misbehaving. Once in a while, my phone goes into a phase where pressing a single number on the dialpad crashes the phone app. Sometimes, placing a call reboots the phone immediately. Contacts also force closes. I am currently using stock AOSP Dialer and Contacts from the Play Store to get around this and it sucks, since I have to leave the built in dialer app enabled concurrently, in order to preserve the in-call UI (in other words, be able to hang up, mute, hold, all that jazz).

One thing I should mention, is that I am not using Open GApps. Just regular 6.0.1 GApps by Google. Could this be some sort of Google Account related contacts crash? I can see how even the dialer force-close problem could be a contacts issue, since pressing a single digit invokes a contact search. Would also mean that the simultaneous contacts force close issue is the same thing. Is this likely?

Also, I come from a clean flash. I DID, however use EXT4 for the virtual partitioning. So... yeah EXT4 and standard GApps... did I do it wrong?

EDIT:

Most other things are going smoothly, save the occasional crashing theme, and the much rarer signal/data losses. I reboot to fix that.

EDIT2:

Should I switch to your CM14.1? I'm hearing of issues regarding HSPA and LTE. Not that I need the LTE. True Unlimited HSPA is my plan, and I'm not switching 'till Rogers/Fido completely runs HSPA into the ground :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Open Gapps is better. They automatically set everything up.

OK, yeah, at least you have themes!

Ouch. HSPA-only plans on a Skyrocket?!

Your battery life must SUCK!

We have moderate battery issues, but they are getting better with each build.

What we noticed was unstable (weak) signal and data deciding to not work (rare, but it does happen). This appears to only affect LTE, though, but YMMV.

There's no problem with backing up, trying it and seeing for yourself.

Check and see if 'Phone' is the Default Phone app. If it is and restart issue persists, go to Settings > Apps > Phone and disable it. Then download Phone from play store and set as default.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dimapoter:
That's exactly what I did. What I'm saying is that the in-call UI from the built in Phone app works. To get around the crash, I use the AOSP Phone (the one you're talking about). HOWEVER, if I am to disable the built in app, the in-call UI never shows. So, to clarify, even with the AOSP Phone set to the default app, its in-call UI doesn't show.

So, my current setup is AOSP Phone app as default, with the stock one included in the ROM also enabled. This means that I dial/browse contacts with the replacement AOSP app, and when the call is placed, the crashy built in app's in-call UI takes over. Sketchy, I know, but it seems to be holding up for now...

EDIT:

Also, lol, the apps are practically indistinguishable, since the CM one is based directly off of the AOSP one. The only thing that differs is the package name (com.android.phone vs com.google.android.phone), and the icon is slightly updated on the AOSP one to add some gloss. Or maybe it was the other way around. To avoid confusing them in the app drawer, I simply tell Buzz Launcher to hide the built in one :P

So glad that the package names are different. Otherwise, this solution would never work. It's a close one.

Phone keeps rebooting

Running 13.0-20160827, whenever I try to update to a newer version past this one the phone keeps continually rebooting on its own. I have to revert to the backup of 20160827 to get it workable again. Now granted I do not have a working sim card in the phone and use it only as music player and to record my fitness walks and cross country ski workouts and do not rely on it for my everyday phone so I guess I do not need the latest and greatest but it would be nice if it worked with the latest version.

New update is up. This should address a few kernel panics and freezes.

Since the last update, the f2fs driver in the kernel has been updated. Therefore, if you use f2fs you'll need to flash the new recovery update.

You should flash update while in ROM using an app like Rashr or Flashify, to avoid data corruption when entering recovery. Links are below.

Do you guys have a "pit" file for odin. I saw if you use odin you can repartition and flash the rom at the same time.

For samsung S2 i727 - canadain rodgers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Are you asking for a custom PIT or the stock PIT?

We only allow stock. It will yell at you when you flash the ROM if you have a custom PIT.

Those "8GB for /data" PIT files actually make things worse for the virtual repartition.

Best analogy that I can think of to describe it (which nonetheless sucks) is this:

Let's say you had a bin for trash, a bin for bottles and cans, and a bin for paper. The trash bin is half a cubic meter. The bin for bottles and cans is 2 cubic meters, and the bin for paper is 11 cubic meters.

Even though you don't find much trash, the trash is always full.

You always seem to find too many bottles and cans. You keep adding them and they fall out from the top.

You use the paper bin, but it is always less than half full/empty.

The classic PIT reparition:

You go to the store and purchase two new bins, one that is 8 cubic meters and one that is 5 cubic meters.

You dump the paper into the 5 cubic meter bin and the bottles and cans into the 8 cubic meter one.

That fixes the recycling, but your trash can is still overflowing.

The virtual repartition:

You read that the recycling is now accepting mixed recyclables. So, you put the bottles and cans in the huge paper basket.

Then, you dump the trash in the what-used-to-be bottles and cans bin.

Then, you decide to make the tiny what-used-to-be trash can for compost. Because, hey, free compost basket.

And you don't have to buy anything.

Virtually repartitioning with the PIT:

You go to the store and purchase two new bins, 8 cubic meters and 5 cubic meters.

You dump the paper, bottles and cans into the 5 cubic meter bin, and the trash into the 8 cubic meter bin. And you put the compost into the old trash basket.

Now, you have a trash bin that you never use that is way too big for what is in it, and now your recycling bin fills up faster.

Replace bins for partitions, bottles for apps, cans for app data, paper for internal storage, cubic meters for gigabytes, trash for system files, and compost for cache. Mixed recyclables is emulated storage.

I have crazy analogies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bcoates84:
Ah tnx. I am on a stock rom now. For some reasion i cant get my phone to partition. If i pass that i know i can install the cm13 rom fine i wounder if there is a nother way to partition the phone or force partition. Maybe it is because i am on the canadain s2 not too sure .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Follow post 2. It is a bit confusing. Basically, there are two versions of the TWRP recovery.

So, to make things easier, start with official TWRP 2.8.7.0, from twrp.me on a plain old UXUMA7 JB stock ROM. Delete all other copies of TWRP. The reason I say 2.8.7.0 is because it looks different.

Backup everything including your internal /sdcard storage, if you haven't already, to your computer or your real MicroSD card (/external_sd in recovery). And don't put your backups on internal storage. You will ruin the point of the whole thing. You want CM13, Gapps, and Bryan's TWRP on your external SD.

Go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Carefully check Internal Storage (not MicroSD Card or EFS!!!) and select Repair or change filesystem.

Click Change filesystem, EXT4 (or F2FS if you prefer; look it up), and do what it says.

Go back and do the same for System, and then simply wipe Cache and Data. If it complains at any point, reboot into recovery again.

Flash Bryan's recovery and reboot into it. If it looks different, you did the right thing.

Flash the ROM, not checking automatically reboot.

The recent CM13, CM14, and AOSPA zips have idiotproofing features designed by Bryan and I. If it notices either the wrong recovery, a non-repartitioned device, or a custom PIT, it will explain it to you and cancel the installation. Earlier, people were just flashing it (and that is putting paper, bottles and cans in the medium bin and leaving the big bin empty), which is even worse.

If it doesn't spit out an error (besides something about "log"), flash Gapps and reboot. You should be good.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Use nano!

Aroma has the chance to cause issues and takes up storage. Nano only has the basics, and leaves the rest to you to install it.

Let's do the math. Let's say you get Aroma and install Gmail, YouTube, and everything in Nano.

Gmail, installed, is ~30 MB, plus data which is only 5MB.

This is 30MB in /system.

An update happens, and since the Play Store can't overwrite anything in /system, it installs it to /data.

Another 30 MB.

We are at 65MB.

For YouTube, the installed size is 50MB.

Again, double it because of updates and you get 100MB.

YouTube doesn't store much data.

165 MB, the size of the Nano package.

The Aroma package is 833MB.

You are at 998 MB. Almost a gigabyte!

Nano package: 165MB.

YouTube: 50MB

Gmail: 25MB.

Total: 240MB.

998MB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 240 MB.

758MB that you could do so many other things with.

Thanks, I am backing up PA and flashing this. I will post if I have any issues. Good work, sir! :good:

When you do upload the build, can you also put the SD fix in it? Because many apps can't access the SD card right now, without using the file manager. If there is a way to do that because I tried adding the KK/LP fix here to /etc/permissions/platform.xml, but it didn't work.

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_all" />
</permission>

FX File Explorer can access it, but it is read-only unless I open the file chooser or use root. Also, it doesn't recognize the SD card as "Media Card" like it did in PA.

Edit: I can't hang up. Even a soft reboot won't fix. But as a workaround, you can swipe down and select Airplane mode twice. You need to also dial *#*#4636#*#*, click phone information, and press Turn (on/off) Radio twice to get cell back (I got no service if I didn't do this). Very tacky, but nobody calls me anyways. :crying: (I really don't like phone calls so I am willing to trade hacky workarounds for an OS of practically pure sugar ;))
