External SD card

Thanks for a great ROM.

I had the same problem on Hercules. No ext sdcard.

Reformatting the external sdcard from within the ROM only comes with the one option - to format as portable.

Formatting the external sdcard as FAT in Recovery results ROM reporting the - card as corrupted

Hope this info helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Working on it. Should have new builds tonight or tomorrow if all goes well with testing.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Are you kidding, it's a great Rom, thanks.

Noticed a problem in setting data limits. The touch adjustment only works when using two touchpoints, one on each limit. Makes adjusting very difficult.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
New build available in Post #2. Several new features: Slim NavBar customizations, Calculator, Power Menu Animations, Kernel Aduitor, OmniSwitch, and more...

Make sure you have a backup, and if there are any issues, clean flash before posting bugs and logs... :)

Please make sure you read the FAQ and STEPS in the OP:

[MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION] I did a clean flash, and when the system showed up the first part, but when pressed next, it is automatically restarted. After a few seconds automatically restarts. I made an installation without gapps and yet restarted.

new build not working at all, tried from dirty flash to clean flash, even went a bit further by changing data and cache between Ext4 and F2FS and still not luck.

sometimes going into soft reboot, just by pressing the launcher menu will also cause a soft reboot. silly for me was too lazy to make a backup........going back to previous build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Sorry, and thanks for the reports. I'll take a look later when I'm home from work. Skyrocket has not done this on the latest build.

A little question: Can I flash a Skyrocket rom on my Hercules? There's no problem with that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
You can but you will likely have to edit the installer script to remove the device type check. Your screen rotation may be off by 90 degrees as well.

how to edit the installer script to remove the device type check.?? to flash skyrocket roms on hercules
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
In the ROM zip file, META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script, delete these first two lines:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I727" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SGH-I727" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "skyrocket" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "skyrocket" || abort("This package is for device: SGH-I727,skyrocket; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););
ui_print("Target: samsung/SGH-I727/SGH-I727:4.1.2/JZO54K/I727UCMC1:user/release-keys");

But I fixed the Hercules build, so try that first... :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juni12:
Yeah, everything is good. How can I disable the backlight?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
I still need to look into this, but in the meantime, you can try Screen Filter. Start the app and then select the notification it makes. Move the slider to 100% if you want to use only the system brightness level, or leave it reduced to use a percentage of the system brightness amount. At the bottom you will see a check box for "Enable soft-key backlight". Uncheck that box and turn ON the screen filter...

Is it just me or what, having Google play services force closing right after flashing gapps, tried banks and other gapps with the same result, even gone further by trying it on cm13, same result, makes syncing contacts or other Google related stuffs giving me a hard time.tried with f2fs and still same, all on fresh install. Anyone with similar issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Not here... What gapps did you use?

Fixed rotation

This build should have fixed rotation (also in Post #2), and it can be dirty flashed:

Hello friends I need your help apparently did something wrong when I tried to make the virtual partition and had to return to the rum stock by Odin, now when you installed TWRP me nothing comes out, bone I do not see my files I can not make or backup or anything , any idea what happens?

Enviado desde mi SGH-T989 mediante Tapatalk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Did you reformat your partitions with a "stock" recovery? The virtual-partitioned recovery renumbers the partitions so a stock ROM will not know and will try to use that numbering, and fail.

If you flash a stock recovery, make sure you reboot recovery before trying to use it.

EDIT: What steps in the OP did you have a problem or make a mistake with? Describe your problem for me and for others please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bombo72:
forgive me but what you say is that if I can re-let everything as before? I try again and you talk about recovery reboot can you give me an idea of ​​the steps please.

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

My first problem was with Google keyboard, then use other gapps and the problem was Google services, I decided to delete it and start from scratch and that's when I found that in recovery TWRP not show me anything, excuse my English.

Enviado desde mi SGH-T989 mediante Tapatalk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Sounds like a GApps issue here. What GApps did you flash? Did the ROM flash and work fine without GApps? Did you try the GApps I linked in Post #2 with the IME swipe library removed? Logs would help tell the story...

See the STEPS in the OP that describe how to install, which includes Step 8, Reboot to the new Recovery. I take it you carefully followed these, and flashed my modified VP TWRP recovery?

If you are trying to get back to the stock partitioning, either flash a stock TWRP recovery ZIP or IMG file, or use Odin to push a TAR recovery over. After doing this you need to reboot your device into Recovery to load up the newly flashed version, and format each of the partitions to their defaults (ext4, for the most part). If you encounter errors formatting, reboot back into Recovery and try again.

Odin should also find the device if it's in download mode and you can flash a stock ROM back on it if you want.

There is no mention about flashing T-Mobile or Telus radio in instructions.

Is this rom compatible with Canadian Telus\Koodo T989D version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RattleRattle:
Disregard i got it to repair.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Possibly, I have commits in the kernel for that, but it's untested and disabled by default. I'll need to review it.

This is a T-Mobile device ROM. You'll have to try and see. It's most likely APN settings that are carrier-specific.

New build is up in Post #2

This build has the lock screen shortcuts fixed, Hardware Key Rebinding (Slim-style by me), multi-column dashboard, three finger swipe-down gesture for screen shots (which is really cool, I must say), and a bunch more... Some of these features will need to be tested.

Make a nandroid backup. Clean flash (wipe /system, /dalvik, /cache). If you have any issues, or are flashing from another ROM, wipe /data too. Test before reporting, please.

Please DO NOT PM ME with help requests or post complaints without logs or workarounds! Remember, I do not have this device...

hmm, no sim card being detected, and phone randomly freezes+ reboots completely. t989d as well, on rogers.

Edit: I downloaded the Jan 25th and flashed that over, everything working perfectly on that, super nice overall. Just gonna keep that as this is just an update to my Dad's bad 4.x rom. Thanks for the good work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Hmmm, wonder what you might be able to do to help me solve this?

(Hint: I've already asked for some things when there are issues.)

C'mon guys!

The most recent Feb 4th build was taken down due to issues. There were 14 downloads, so if anyone who downloaded this has no SIM card or has random reboots, please post logs here. I'm looking into the issues and will post an updated build when they should be fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Liboicl:
I posted a log. I get the random reboots. I didn't have a SIM card in, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Zyphur:
Dad has been using it for about a day now. Tells me only issues he has are: Can't set password (settings stops working when clicking security), startup is really long because it always does the 14 Candy Apps initializing, and the camera sometimes bugs out which forces a reboot to fix. I'll try to guide him through a log. This is on Jan 25th.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
I didn't have a chance to go through your log as I think I've solved most everything, but thanks given for providing a log! Appreciated...

Hmmm, something doesn't seem right... Are you sure you are using the required recovery? I can't tell what's going on without a log, but I'm posting new builds here so I would suggest trying that. There was NO app data restored from another Android version, correct?.

If you went back to the Jan25 build and didn't do a full wipe (/data too) you may have corrupted data. I would suggest a Factory Reset or flash the new build I'm going to post shortly here...

This is a development ROM, so hopefully your dad understands that there are bound to be bugs and issues. As for the password, something seems wrong as I tested this without issue. As for password lengthj, it's 16 characters maximum. Did he try using a PIN too? If Password doesn't work, have him try PIN lock. But let me repeat, try the updated build first...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
New build

A new build is up in Post #2, as well as a new GApps version (without the conflicting LatinIME keyboard libraries). Please use this GApps package or one without those libraries or you will FC at the WiFi sign-in screen. See Post #2 for details. I will look into why this is happening and try to sort it out.

This build should be stable and have working call functionality, working lock screen shortcuts, Slim Hardware Key Rebinding, and much more:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
I actually built one about 6 weeks ago that kept rebooting. At the time, I was more worried about getting good builds compiled.

I might try again soon, no promises though. It would be of little functional benefit from what I have seen. Is there some new feature (besides the GUI) that warrants another look into in the v3 version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yaseenarafath:
hey guys,

I just wanna know that currently im using CM13 on my hercules.

.so can i dirty flash this rom or i have to go clean install???

edit- can anyone tell me hows the new built working??? is it perfect or having bugs regarding no-sim etc??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Well Candy is based on AOSP, so dirty flashing will probably boot loop you... Not recommended.

Backup your apps and settings, make a nandroid backup, full wipe (system, data, cache,dalvik), and flash away.

If you have issues, you have your nandroid backup...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] edwin270:
Current build is ok except for the irrational hoping of data from G, E, 3G, H to H+, will be sending a log when less busy. My personal take, 25-01 build is the best I have ever used. Very stable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kingaa19:
Flashed the latest build. Changing the LCD Density force closes Settings and doesn't change when it's rebooted. Please fix!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marcomaxo:

Tested it for ~2 weeks, the only problem I found was that transferring files via Bluetooth always failed on me. Not gonna try out any newer builds yet since my S2 is my daily driver, but I will test at some point. Cheers!

I used "Le DPI changer" from the play store to fix this, don't know why dpi does not persist across flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kingaa19:
Yeah, I used Textdroider DPI, but its still annoying because I haven't had to use it in a long time.

Also, another issue I have is that the entire System UI will crash for no reason and it bogs my S II down for a good 5 minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Clean flash. The DPI change capability is built into the ROM. I'll look at the device source in case something is missing, but I doubt it.

For the SystemUI crash, please re-read the OP...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Liboicl:
Is there a chance of you adding ext4 support? I have my external sd formatted as ext4 and I can manually mount it, but it doesn't get detected by apps that way. I know of the possibility of formatting it as internal storage, but I don't want that.

Also, after opening about five or six apps after a reboot the ROM slows down and becomes extremely laggy and I eventually have to reboot. I'll post a log when I get a chance.

EDIT: Looking at logs it looks like the SD is supposed to work.

http://pastebin.com/PZB6S1VY

EDIT 2: After digging through the source. I noticed it skips the filesystem check if e2fsck isn't available, so I renamed it to e2fsck.bak. That time it alerted that the SD card isn't supported by this system. However, when I removed and reinserted it the OS mounted it. I rebooted again and it works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yorch_300:
Add LiveDisplay functionality...

Please add the LiveDisplay functionality, is a very good functionality for using in the night... Thanks for the time. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Not sure exactly what you are asking. The options for Android M are to use an External SD card as "Internal" or "Portable" storage. Internal makes it disappear from the Storage menu, formats the card as ext4 and encrypts it. It will only work in the device in which it became "Internal" storage, and you'd better have a Class 10 card or you may see performance issues. In fact there are many reports of bugs using the External SD as "Internal" storage.

Formatting for Portable uses the VFAT file system , I think, but Android will choose this for you. The advantage is you can see the card separately on computers and in file browsers, and you can see the files on different devices. This is kind of the "old" way these devices used the External SD.

Your call there but I have no plans to mess with the formatting any further right now. The fstab file lists the External SD as "auto" file system, so it depends on the nuts and bolts of the OS. I would copy your files off, format the External SD as portable, and copy the files back. But that's just me... :)

This is actually being ported right now I believe. No ETAs or promises here... ;)

I should have a new build coming in an hour or so with the rotation fixed and the DPI changer FC should be fixed too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
New build is up in Post #2

Rotation should be fixed... again, and so should the DPI changer. I've added resolutions below 240 DPI but beware this may break some apps and the Play Store ... Change DPI with caution.

What's the differences between the January 11th build and the February 11th build?

I understand this is a T-MOBILE specific ROM but i followed this post and installed the January 11th build and it works great (except for the camera that doesn't work - Says "Can't connect to the camera"). I had a problem with the latest one (February 11th) because it was stuck on the marshmallow boot animations.

Oh and i'm using the SGH-T989D (Koodo) Device.

Nevermind all of this, i decided to redo the wipe procedures and reflash the February 11th build and everything works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Thanks for posting back about it. I'm glad you got it sorted. Wow it's been quiet here... :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MikeInWaterdown:
I'm using a Koodo T989D as well and had the same problem being stuck at boot animation after flashing until I chose the option in TWRP recovery to wipe Davlik & cache before rebooting after flashing this ROM & GAPPS (even though I had just wiped them, /System, and /Data before flashing).

I should mention that I've been using the January 25th release of this and then the February 7th release as soon as it came out as my daily driver and it's been great so far - actually better then the last release of Candy 5. I picked up the same phone for my son as well and have it flashed for him too - actually, I let him test the newest version of the ROM before I flash mine as he uses his for a lot more then I do with mine. I figure if he doesn't find any major glitches with all the gaming, YouTubing, Instagram, FB, SnapChat, texting, etc... that he does then it should be fine for my simple use as an actual phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bloodyrek:
Hey i did the exact same as you, i flashed the ROM and then i factory reset, flashed the GAPPS and factory reset again. And with that everything worked great. My only issue is my phone power button (but thats my own problem).

The request i would like to make tho (if possible) ....Is it possible to add a sort of button that would close and open the Navigation bar? because in the "Menu visibility" options the "Always show" "Never show" "Show on request (default)" don't work? It's like they have all the same behaviour (

The navigation bar is ALWAYS present no matter which

visibility

option i choose

) I don't know if it's T989D (Koodo) version related or not?

Same goes for the Menu localisation option for the Navigation bar. "Right" "Left" "Both" changes nothing, it stays at the same spot no matter what.

Thanks for your amazing work, i really appreciate what you do for the community
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
The Navbar is enabled/disabled under Settings > Candy Interface > Navigation > Navigation Bar... What you are describing is whether the 3-dots Menu key shows on the Navbar all the time or contextually, NOT the Navbar itself. If you want to hide the Navbar, turn it off via the switch in the Navigation Bar settings.
