On AT&T here, and all is good here....

Make sure you clean flash the ROM.. and you didn't mention radio version, build type (CMTE/OMS)...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Already had root access for apps and ADB enabled. It shows the ADB notification in the phone. First time using ADB so it took a bit of time to set up but I think I did it correctly. After entering "setenforce 0" I didn't get any acknowledgment notification on the phone. I'm attaching a pic of the command prompt. Didn't notice any difference with the Network Issue after doing this. Still goes in and out. Any way to verify that SELinux was changed?

Here is a radio logcat that I took AFTER doing the ADB process above. During log the network signal kept going in and out till end of log.

Radio Log Part 1

Radio Log Part 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
I did a clean flash, multiple redundant wipes of everything on repeat clean flash. I tried with both CMTE and OMS build type with identical results. The logs I have been submitting are from the OMS version. Radio is UVMC6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Settings > About phone will tell you SELinux status... :confused:

At the ADB prompt, type "su" (without the quotes) and hit Enter. You should see a SuperSU prompt then for sure...

No clue on your mobile signal issue... what BASEBAND radio version are you using (also in Settings > About phone)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Weird still not getting a SuperSU prompt. It is working though because it changed SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive. No change with signal issue :( Thanks for taking time. Let me know if you think of anything else worth trying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Try flashing your current or another radio... and make sure your SIM card is OK, slot pins are not damaged and clean. They are very delicate so I wouldn't recommend anything other than some kind of spray cleaner maybe if needed. Also, are you using ext4 and the correct Virtual Partitioned recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
I'll try re-flashing radio.

I have flashed back to my backup of your 07-02 build and signal is working fine, so don't think it's hardware related. I have been using your ROM for at least the previous 5 builds if not more, definitely using correct Virtual Partitioned recovery. When I did the third clean flash for this build I re-formatted the appropriate things to EXT4 like it says in your installation guide. Still no change.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Some promising news: I have a couple more things to try that may fix the RIL issue. I may only be able to do one version (CMTE/OMS) for now though, but given my testers are gone, you guys in this thread are the actual testers.

I'll try to fix up the build and post tonight in maybe 6-7 hours time. Thanks for your help with the logs; the last two were helpful. Not something I can test per se as my mobile data on AT&T is working 100%.

Stay tuned...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Thanks for your work Dan.

That's great news! If you need any help testing or any other logs let me know, I sit in front of a computer all day so got plenty of time to flash away haha.

hi, problem setting up sd card as internal storage

Im having problems setting up the sd card as internal storage.

Sometimes it works all the way through, then when i get to where i move documents and data, it says setting has stopped.

Other times it takes a very long time then i see something like an error, saying something like the process has exceeded the maximum time set or something like that, then when i restart my phone, it shows that sd card corrupted.

please help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Build with RIL updates

Here are two builds, one CMTE and one OMS. In each of these are some RIL changes that will hopefully fix any disconnect issues with mobile data.

Please do let me know if Hotspot and Snap camera are working fine too... I see comments when things are broken, but when they are fixed I like to hear about it. :D

Note that since the deprecation of layers, the OMS/Substratum builds now have an "S" in the name to distinguish them!

CMTE build:

CandySiX-celox-3.1-OFFICIAL-0728.zip

OMS/Substratum build (needs Substratum app from the Play Store):

CandySiX-celox-3.2.S-OFFICIAL-0728.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Forsonkwesi:
Can we please have images or thumbnails of the substratum build, so we can decide whether to switch to it or not.

things are moving so fast we dont quite understand substratum!!!

Right after installation, i did not even open an app and it restarted the phone.

when i put the phone back on, after 20 - 30 seconds of being on, it restarted again.

please note i never opened any app......it just keeps restarting after i put it on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
No. This is linked in Post #2... http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/projekt-substratum-t3423623 Please do yourself a favor and read up!

Things are moving fast because it is getting better and faster by the day. Your reboot issue is user error until you prove otherwise with logs (including a recovery install log), sorry. No problems here.

[MENTION=4468877]RogueCoyote[/MENTION], is mobile data good now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yaseenarafath:
AFH is under maintenance. havn't tested buld 7/28.

but in build 7/26(CMTE) camera and hotspot is working fine for me:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Hey [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION]. Yes it's working!! Only been running an hour during my drive from home to work but network stayed on the whole time.

Thank you for fixing it so quickly!!

Regarding Snap camera, I use the play store version so didn't notice issue before. I just tested the one that comes with your ROM and video is working fine. I believe video was the issue. I don't use hotspot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
You can thank [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION] too! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Play Store version? I have never seen one... got a link? The SnapdragonCamera (called Snap) is built from source afaik.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Yay team work!! Thank you too [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION]

Oohh that makes sense now, why the two apps seemed so different. I was talking about this Snap Camera.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yaseenarafath:
[MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION] whoa! everything is working great (hotspot,snapcamera,RIL)

before i use to get only 2 or 3 bars at signal on previous builds and now at build 7/28(CMTE) full bars anytime and anywhere. loving it :)

thanks man:good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Hey [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION], I have a Bluetooth issue that I would like to run by you. Sometimes when playing music through bluetooth in my car it will cut out, i.e. it plays for a second or two, then it stops playing for a couple seconds, then it plays again for a second or two, then stops again, and this just keeps repeating. Doesn't happen all the time, sometimes bluetooth works fine. When it does happen I connect my phone to car with AUX cable and music starts playing normal again.

I have tried different music apps, tested my phone's bluetooth with a different car, and always have same issue. I noticed this bug started when I made the switch from Lollipop to Marshmallow. Back then I was using Chris Hall's ROM and flashed back to Lollipop to test and bluetooth worked fine with Lollipop, so it's not a hardware issue with my phone. When Chris Hall stopped supporting the Hercules back in April I tried Bryan's CM13 ROM and your CandySix ROM. Back then both ROM's had the bluetooth issue, I haven't tried Bryan's ROM since then. I have experienced the issue with every build you have put out.

Didn't mention it before because someone had suggested it was an issue upstream with CM, so was hoping it would get fixed but it hasn't. Here is a log, hope it shows the culprit. LOG

Thanks again for your time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Does it do this in SELinux Permissive mode? You know how to change it, right? There's a SELinux mode changer app around too.

Which version of Candy, CMTE or OMS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Haven't tested bluetooth with SELinux in Permissive mode, will try it tomorrow. Yes I know now, thanks!

I haven't tried the new CMTE build that you released today but the previous CMTE builds had issue. Right now i'm using the OMS build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Where are you moving documents and data from?

Did you encrypt your device before? After? Internal Storage encrypts the ExternalSD card and it will become invisible and appear as part of the internal storage. Not worth messing with it on this repartitioned ROM, if you ask me...

"then i see something like an error"... What does it say exactly?

You need to log this activity and provide exact details, ROM theme engine version, card type and size, etc. (meaning: every relevant detail you can think of) if you want me to take a look.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Forsonkwesi:
i did a clean flash with this newest rom

the card is sandisk and size is 8gb

how do i log it, hope i can try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Newest CMTE or OMS version?

There are threads here on how to logcat. You can click on my signature pic, and it will take you to a post of my builds and info. There's a logcat link there too...

Issue persists after changing SELinux to Permissive mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThaDraGun:
Can't seem to get the phone to start up. I'm stuck at the boot animation with the 4 colourful circles. I tried without an SD card as well.

I followed all the steps using TRWP 3.0.0-0.

CandySiX-celox-3.1-OFFICIAL-0702

open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160802

I think i did everything correctly. In the instructions the only thing Im unsure of is "Flash a VIRTUAL REPARTITIONED RECOVERY." is TWRP right, or do I need a special version or something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] p70shooter:
There's one in the second post
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Ozz you're on FIRE! LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
You MUST flash one of the Unofficial VIRTUAL REPARTITIONED versions of TWRP. The Official TWRP will not work 100% as the partitions are defined differently... it has to match the ROM fstab file!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lorien_Silmaril:
Hey everyone! After spending a whole night wrestling with it, I finally got this ROM to work (I was getting the infinite boot animation).

I will post my findings below, and I would like to suggest that the OP update the installation procedure accordingly.

First off, I was on a 5.x ROM (Validus) running on modified PIT (actual repartition, not virtual). After restoring the phone back to stock partitions (you can find instructions on how to do so here), I pushed TWRP 2.8.4.0 through ODIN (IMPORTANT!!! Do NOT use official TWRP 2.8.7.0, it is broken on our device and does not show partitions correctly! ), then flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 from there.

However, no matter what I did in TWRP 3.0.2.0 (reformatting, repairing, resizing all the partitions), the ROM simply would not boot (neither CandySix nor Paranoid). I followed the instruction provided here to the letter, too.

So I ended up looking at the instructions for Paranoid ROM and noted a crucial difference: Formatting "Internal Storage" under official TWRP (2.8.x.x).

There appears to be an issue with the virtual repartition version of TWRP (3.0.x.x) that isn't reformatting this partition correctly. And indeed, when I flashed back to the official TWRP 2.8.4.0, the "Internal Storage" partition showed mounting error and a size of 0mb.

I reformatting all the partitions in TWRP 2.8.4.0, then flashed back to TWRP 3.0.2.0, then flashed the ROM, and then everything worked flawlessly from there on!

Hope this helps some folks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Could be your theme, or idk... who else is having this issue? You probably can't run large apps/games that take up all the RAM since the device is dated...

Didn't see this, who else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
New toys...

Here's some fresh Candy, along with August security updates, a patch for sdcardfs, and some changes that will hopefully fix missed calls...

Make a nandroid backup first. You should be able to dirty flash this on the last version.

build 8/07 CMTE dirty flash but sim card is not initialising..its says no sim card, i checked twice and removed and reinsert but no change

i grab some logs check out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThaDraGun:
OMG after trying like 4 times, I used your steps and finally Im past that boot logo loop! Optimizing apps now. I think its going to work now! :D thanks!!!!

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

EDIT:

Ok, starting to play around with it now. Seems to work well so far. Sometimes when the screen sleeps I have to try a bit to get it back. A couple times I thought the phone was broken/dead. Maybe its just doing to much in the background and thats why it was slow.

Bluetooth is working better then stock. I bought my son a remote car for xmas that is controlled with your phone via bluetooth. It would never connect before. No matter what I tried it wouldnt work. I tried stock, and other custom roms before too. This one worked first try tho! :)

One question, how do I switch between or close running apps? I havent used this phone in a long time but I thought before you hold down menu or home button and they would pop up. Then you could choose or swipe to close. Thats gone now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HamidHelal:
Any body has "No SIM Card" with this new build ?

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Yea, same issue. I go back to previous one and got SIM card working.

Thanks for the log.

:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
You have to enable Hardware Key Rebinding in the Settings > Candy interface > Buttons menu... Then choose Home > Long press > Recents or whatever key you like for recent apps. If you have not used Android M before, the app management is way better than on stock JB. The Recents menu will let you flip back to an app that was running (but not necessarily is running any longer). There are also different Recents options to choose from in Settings > Candy interface > Recents settings, like Slim recents, Omni recents (follow instructions if you use this). Have fun! Glad the BT worked out...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Apologies folks, I checked my manifest and had the wrong msm8660-common repo in there. I had to reload the box I use to build the CMTE versions and mixed that up.

I'll post the updated build when it's ready. The OMS version is unaffected by this.

Cheers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
The OMS version had a missing Kernel Aduitor app which would FC when you opened KA through the settings menu. It's uploaded already, so I'll post it:

What about your apps force-closing problem? (Not like I need more work here though...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yaseenarafath:
Havnt had any problem since i flash this 8/09 build but let me see.

Everysingle App which i use even the system apps such as brower ,advance settings , calculator, calender ,kernal auditor etc force closes sometimes. I hope u find the logs and problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Which is it, "Havnt had any problem" or "Everysingle App ... force closes sometimes." ?

I'd like fresh logs, and does this happen on just the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lorien_Silmaril:
Hello Dan:

I am on CandySix build 0728. I am experiencing a strange issue with the phone becoming unresponsive (can't get the screen to wake up, and the phone appears to be frozen - no alarms or notifications etc.) if it is left plugged into USB for a while and not disturbed (doesn't matter if it's charging off of a wall charger or a computer). Now if the phone is plugged in but I am actually using it for things, it doesn't seem to lock up.

I skimmed through this thread and haven't noticed anyone mentioning similar issues... and the ROM seems to be working very stable otherwise (when the phone's not plugged in).

Would you happen to know what might be causing this? I am about to dirty flash your newer build, but I don't know if anything was changed in there that would alter this behavior...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yaseenarafath:
i had this same issue on build 7/28 but ignored because thought it was my battery problem. Should have mention this before to Dan.this means i have ignored many small issues with this rom. Nxt time im gonna post each and everything with logs.

And build 8/09 CMTE is working good for me till now. No issue at all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juni12:

Hey Dan, I did a clean install of the 8-08 OMS build and still having the same Bluetooth issue. Would some new logs help? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Try different GApps, nano or pico.

I quoted your original issue post so I wouldn't have to dig for it again. You said "sometimes" which doesn't mean reproducible to me... ;) What bluetooth device is in your car (make/model of car and device)? Do you have other bluetooth devices nearby?

I am using quite a bit of Bryan's device-level stuff in my Candy Celox builds. I would see if his CM13 build works for you. If so, it would help me narrow down what may be missing. Grab logs of both Candy and CM13 in an identical Bluetooth situation whether or not the playback suffers from this anomaly.

I can't get Pastebin links here at work either, which doesn't help.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clearNET:
He Dan,

I'm a new user of this fantastic ROM!

I have one issue when trying to format the Micro SD card as internal storage it always time out it stays at %20 for about 1-2 mins then kicks me out to the main home screen with a error at the bottom that says "java.util.concurrent. TimeoutException:Thread Binder_1 gave up waiting for partitionPrivate after 180000ms"

I would definately love to post a log for you but am unsure how...I can format card as portable storage no problem using the same device/rom...problem only occurs when trying to use as internal storage...sandisk 32gb class 10 and also tried a 64gb cards with same issues...they work fine in other devices still and in this device I can format as portable storage but always fails when trying to use the option to use the MicroSD as internal storage.

Running on: CandySiX-celox-3.2-OFFICIAL-0809

thanks for looking into this!

what do i require to send a log report?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
I say sometimes but it eventually happens every time. For example, I'll turn on bluetooth and start playing music, sometimes it has issue right away, other times bluetooth work fine for a little while, 5, 10, or 15 mins and then start having issue. It's just a matter of time.

I have an aftermarket Bluetooth Device but I tried in my friends 2013 Rav4 with stock bluetooth and had same issue. No other bluetooth devices nearby or connected to phone.

I flashed Bryan's latest CM13 8/12 build and have the same issue. I got logs with his ROM and Candy while playback was suffering from the anomaly. What site should I use if Pastebin doesn't work for you?

Thanks again.

PS. I'm also curious if anyone else using this ROM plays music in there cars through Bluetooth?? Weird no one else has mentioned it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
I use Hastebin, but that's also blocked by my work. Those sites are preferred because of the formatting they provide (readability).

I normally have to use mobile to view logs in that case. Another thing is for me to be able to share the logs elsewhere if needed.

If you know exactly the section where the issue shows up in a log, you can put it inline here inside of HIDE tags too, and these days I'm less worried about attaching a log zip file to a post here.
