I attempted that, but Portable does not format to ext4 and I don't want Internal. The biggest reason I want ext4 is because of the 65,534 files per folder limit of FAT32. I can manually mount the sdcard as long as I set SELinux to permissive via setenforce 0. The reason I disabled fsck is because, as was also the case with earlier builds, it fails due to the card being in use for some reason at boot. I can run manual checks and it passes. Thanks for taking the time to respond to me.

EDIT: Also, I want to say that I am having the same issue with the WiFi hotspot as fearles2k. My devices aren't seeing the SSID. It worked for me on an earlier build of CandySix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
I haven't played with it much, but I'm using mine as Portable. You have more than 65,534 files in one folder?

Internal offers encryption and also ext4. I may convert mine soon to test.

Maybe the card is getting checked at boot or has corruption on it?

Was this after a format to FAT?

How large a card is it?

Also, as far as the hotspot issue, I don't remember seeing any logs... What carrier are you on, and what APN are you using?

Can you post a logcat and dmesg log of trying to use it?

do you mean i can dirty flash this version over CandySiX-celox-2.2-OFFICIAL-0504, or that i can dirty flash future versions of your ROM over this version :eek: sorry if i sound confusing :silly:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
You can dirty flash over a current "celox" ROM version. This current version will establish the layers backup/restore script for future updates via dirty flashing.

Unfortunately (or not, if you're a CMTE fanboy), Candy is changing to include CMTE (CM Theme Engine) instead of Layers. So the script may be of negligible value fairly soon...

I'm as big a layers fan as anyone but I think there are advantages to both methods. My Material Glass theme is both CM13 and RRO Layers compatible, so it will be interesting to see the differences between the two themes.

hi can anyone plz tell me why isn't the Facebook app working??? which fb app should I try on my T 989...

TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
I sometimes use Metal and have in the past used Facebook Lite... Facebook is the worst and biggest resource hog, and you are killing your GSII experience trying to use it imho.

You are better off using Chrome mobile (I do this too). Chrome is capable of providing notifications for FB.

Is it safe to dirty flash 2.3 version over 2.1 version? What i mean is flash rom zip without any wipes or gapps updates?

Thanks!

Edit:

I just did. The update was a success though front camera does not save photos. Don't know if that is related to the upgrade. But system update was completed without any issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cabledss:
Similar issue to you - my front camera "fails to initialize" since the latest version of 5/14/16 - but its not a deal breaker.

You shouldn't flash GApps that are newer than your ROM is... I am testing a new release (almost there) I compiled yesterday and using Open Gapps from April 28th. No issues. Just the languages in DeskClock are giving me fits. Working well, and with CMTE (CM Theme Engine) built-in, too...

Hopefully I can sort the DeskClock thing out soon so I can share the latest feature packed build. No ETA unfortunately... Long hours at work and wife out of town makes for a pretty tight "dad-schedule". ;)

I Followed the instructions in the exact order in the main post where it lists the steps , and the rom does not work , i am useing the phone listed in the title , The Samsung Galaxy S2 Hercules (SGH-T989), Im not sure what information to post to help you help me.... so this is kinda a weak ask for help and im sorry for that , but , Is there anything i can do to make the rom work on my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
New, long-awaited build is available (also in Post #2)!

PLEASE NOTE: Candy has switched from Layers to CMTE for theming...

You MUST CLEAN FLASH this build, making sure to wipe /system, /dalvik, /cache AND /data!!! No exceptions. I've tested phone, BT, data, GPS successfully. The stock browser may have an issue still, so it's recommended to use Opera or Chrome.

Here are most of the MANY Changes since the last release... :

CMTE (CM Theme Engine)

Larger pattern unlock (up to 6x6)

Fixed QS Quick Pull-down on the secure lock screen

Fixed Prevent accidental wakeup

Added In-call vibration options

Screenshot Crop & Share

Battery fully charged notification toggle

New SmartBar from DU with customizable softkey navigation

Fling navigation from DU

Pulse NavBar music visualizer from DU

CandySiX Version 3.0

Lock screen music visualizations

CPU information overlay (enable in Developer options)

Fixed Theme Tile functionality

Fix to persist disabled Hardware Keys setting through a reboot

Toggling OFF Hardware Keys (Buttons) now toggles ON SmartBar, and vice-versa. Toast messages should indicate what is switching on/off.

(For now, you will need to disable the Hardware Key Lights manually if you want them off.)

Android 6.0.1_r46 merged

June 1 security patches

DeskClock language FC fixed

Alarm clock Flip and Shake to snooze/dismiss options

cLock widget settings available from the DeskClock menu

Hardware Keys/SmartBar settings clean-up

Updated Day/Night theming and CMTE support for the DeskClock

3minit battery support (try your apk and see how/if it works, I don't use this)

Bootanimation optimizations

Fixed Yahoo Weather location API

You can do anything you choose to, but why would I

intentionally

say, "YOU

CLEAN FLASH this build..."?

It's not recommended to clean flash, it's REQUIRED to do so. You WILL have problems, and I WILL ignore them if I see signs that you did indeed dirty flash on any other version... Hmmm, I wonder how I would know that... :confused: :cowboy: :silly:

[MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION] build 3.0 works with F2FS??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Try and see? I don't use it, and it's been buggy for some in other ROMs fwih...

Only /data and /cache should be set to F2FS if you do try it. DON'T format /system as F2FS.

If you do try F2FS,

back up all of your internal storage files to a computer or OTG drive first

. Internal storage is in /data/media/0, so formatting /data will wipe out all internal memory...

Good luck!

I'm getting an issue where I am getting an infinite load screen whenever I try to boot up the rom. Here are the steps I took:

1. Flash Stock via Odin.

2. Install ClockworkModRecovery via Odin.

3. Format /Data, /Cache, /Internal Storage, /System.

4. Flash TWRP Virtual partitioned as provided.

5. Follow steps 9-11 for each partition I need to format.

6. Follow step 14.

7. Flash latest 6/10 CandySix.zip

8. Flash Banks Gapps.

If you need any more information please tell me. I let this run overnight and it still didn't boot.

Back when I first tried Candy6 I had the same issue. I discovered that the FAQ/Notes were just as important as the Install steps. I missed disabling MTP prior to formatting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davebert0:
Had the same problem, I even got to the point of re-partitioning it a custom and back to stock. I also flash Candy5, which worked but get loop with Candy6. I also tried different versions of TWRP, with no success. I left it alone for the weekend and tried it again today. The only thing I did different was in in step 3 I also click on "Repair" and "Resize" and make sure all completed without errors(Internal Storage don't have the repair and resize option). If there was an error I check and make sure that partition was mounted and tried step 3 again.

I also reboot back to recovery after fixing each error. once all the partitions were wiped, repaired and resized without errors I was able to flash and boot Candy6.

That has not happened to me, what means you need to check your Gapps. My recommendation is you to save a Gapps package you think is good and give you problems, that is what I did, and I have not had problems.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
I've fixed up the step numbering in the OP Installation Steps. Something seems to have broken it. No real procedural changes. As far as GApps, I tend to use BaNks for higher end devices, but that's not to say you won't be able to flash them. I would try Open GApps pico.

After flashing the ROM/GApps, try taking out your External SD before booting. It could be the formatting of it is causing issues, and you'll want to use the ROM to format it anyway as Portable Storage once you are able to boot.

Also, make sure you reboot to recovery if you flash a recovery, before using it for anything... including CWM.

No, nothing else. You need to go through the wiping/formatting steps again most likely.

Like the above person, try taking out your ExternalSD card before booting up... it could be the culprit.

Thanks for providing logs. +1

Honestly, your GApps version is ANCIENT. Get yourself some newer Open Gapps Pico to use, but not ones newer than the ROM. February versions are way old at this point...

Agree :D

Good Luck!

Pulse bar enhancements and options

Boot animation optimizations

Call recording capability, but may not be 100% yet, needs testing and logs. Depends on your carrier too.

Materialized Gallery

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juni12:
Awesome rom! May you tell me how can I use all these features?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
The boot animation changes are enhancements to the ROM itself. Pulse (SmartBar/Fling Bar music visualizer) has more options, and the Gallery is the new Material design one from CM.

For Call Proximity Speaker, go into the Dialer > Settings > Calls and scroll down to Automatic proximity speaker. Enable it, adjust the delay time to your liking... when placing a call you will get automatic speaker phone when you remove the phone from your ear/head. Put it back up to your ear and the speaker phone automatically switches to the earpiece. One of my favorite Slim features...

Call recording is likely broken. Once a call starts, if supported by your carrier/device, you should get an extra recording button (or 3-dot menu button) that appears under the number being dialed. Click that to start recording. Calls are saved in the /sdcard/CallRecordings folder. You might need to go into the Dialer > Settings > Sounds and vibration menu and select AAC as the Audio format... It's not 100% yet.

Hope this helps...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Tough seeing what's going on without your recovery log...

Sounds like you didn't disable MTP so that VOLD can format the partition. When MTP is enabled, the partition will be "in use" and will fail formatting.

Make sure /data is not mounted either, to be safe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
It is currently a well-kept secret in your logs (which I don't see here). Grab SysLog and take all logs setting up and turning on the hotspot. Try to keep the logging to a quick setup and enable of the hotspot. Zip them up and post to Mega or Drive (can't see Pastebin or Hastebin these days from work), or attach to your post here if it will fit, idc. Either way, let me know when the logs are available.

Also, mention what Carrier/Plan are you on, post your APN settings, and mention in which country you are located, for reference.

When did it start? These devices are not exactly popular any more, and I have lost my testers. So... what build date was it last working on? Help me to help you. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
You enabled the settings in the Dialer app? If so, you should not need to turn on the speaker phone yourself; it should be automatic.

If you did enable Call Proximity Speaker properly in the Dialer > Calls settings menu, then maybe try adjusting the delay time to see if it helps.

Need help badly as i messing around with twrp and bryans new realese it didnt boot up so i went to original twrp with odin .tar for herculse file with out wiping the partitions and when i boot in to the twrp its shows only dvlink no other partion and sdcard please provide me a proper guide to recover the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
The help needed badly part must mean learning how to use Google. C'mon dude, help yourself.

There's a stock odin file linked in the OP. Look at FAQ, especially #8. You need to use Odin to load back the stock ROM (not TWRP) with the device in download mode.

"Messing around"? If you don't know what you're doing you shouldn't be flashing files your phone, plain and simple.

I'm officially one step closer to done with 8660 devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] milanpatel17:
i was able to fix that but i have tried about 10 to 15 time i will give you the details.

1.installed your version of twrp

2.disable MTP had make sure no partition is mounted.

3.Change file system of /system to ext4 repair and resized done successfully

4.Change file system of /data to F2fs then repair and resized done successfully(repair failed with ext4)

5.Change file system of /catch to F2fs then repair and resized done successfully(with ext4 as well)

6.wipe delvik done

7. When i press internal storage its says invalid partition.

8. reboot recovery and wipe system agian

9.flash the rom (with and without Gapps)

then its stuck in bootloop no idea what going wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Don't bother with F2FS, and stick with EXT4.

After step 1 above, you did Reboot > Recovery, right?

"Invalid partition" tells me the recovery can't identify it, or you are using the wrong recovery. My VP TWRP version has a special warning splash screen, and says VP after the version number at the top of the screen while in recovery.

Post your TWRP (Virtual Partitioned) recovery wipe/install log by exporting from TWRP.

After install, start an ADB shell. Run the following commands, one at a time,

while in recovery and with ALL the partitions mounted

, then copy the output here.

1) blkid

2) cat /proc/mounts

3) df
