[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
I flashed chrono: http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ChronoMonochrome/kernel/odin/

now i'm in CWM, flashing this ROM but it's stuck on:

"Target: samsung/ulti_codina/..."

"detected filesystem ext4 for ..."

#Edit

Nevermind... Just had to wait longer

But my question is, when i had chrono installed, then i used CWM from there to install this ROM will everything will be fine? I mean now when i go to about phone there is kernel info - chrono 4.2.9
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Yes, that sounds normal.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
Thanks you for your help :)

Next problem ( :D ) i'm trying to install pick Gapps and durning the install error pops up: error code: 70 insufficient sotage space on system partition.

So i just have to flash this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65965771&postcount=33?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Yes. Flashing that should be enough.

Just remember to backup system, Cache and data partition before, and restore them back afterwards.

Or, if you don't care about the current data at all, just do another reflash of the ROM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
Hmm i flashed this, then again this ROM and still can't install gapps :/
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
750 Mb of system is more than enough.

Can you find the amount of system storage?

If it's only over 600mb then zip hasn't been flashed properly.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Also which gapps package are you installing?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
Pico - open gapps

And honestly i can't find any information about system space amount
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I don't have this ROM right now so I can't tell you for sure...

In some roms you can find it at Settings/Storage and then at the top if I don't remember bad it says Partition info or kind of... Then pick it and there's the system information.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
Well.. in this ROM in Storage there is only Total amount of internal and external and how much of it is used.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Using terminal or adb, you could use df command and see how big is the layout partition.

In terminal just type:

df
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
//EDIT

Oh holy crp, i'm stupid :D Sorry, here you go:

http://imgur.com/vIGfXQx
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Yes, according to that your system still has 610 MB.

The zip you linked before should've given 750MB in system, try reflashing the repartition.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
You still have 617 Mb for System.

You have to flash CWM Reparted again.

How have you flashed zip?

I only manage to flash it properly with Ace2Nutzer's 6.0.5.0 CWM.

With PhilzTouch and TWRP I always get "Can't mount caché or whatever..." error.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
That's what i'm doing:

1. full wipe

2. flash ROM

3. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65965771&postcount=33

4. reboot to system, check /system amount and it's still ~617 :/

i'm doing it by adb sideload.

Maybe i'm flashing it wrong should i monut anything before it or something like that?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I don't see you doing the repartition. (or is it the link that you gave is wrong?)

It should be something like:

1. Repartition

2. Just in case, format cache, system and data with ext4. Also sdcard0 with vfat

3. Flash ROM

4. Reboot into system

5. Reboot into recovery

6. Flash gapps

7. Reboot into system
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
This is the way I do it:

1- Flash Ace2Nutzer's kernel. Advanced/ Power off. Reboot manually on recovery again.

2- Flash CWM Reparted zip.

3- Power Off and reboot manually on recovery once again.

4- Now you have a lot of "can't mount" error messages, it's normal. Format System, Data, SDcard0 and Caché.

5- Now, my advice is to clean flash ROM again.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
You did it on stock 4.1.2 (i mean stock->Ace2Nutzer Kernel -> repart ... etc)? And after repart should i swap sdcard?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Not necessarily. You could flash it from current recovery.

Yes, it is better to swap sdcard.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
Okay, so that's what i did:

Stock rom -> temp CWM to install Ace2Nutzer -> Repartition with zip -> format -> now i'm on CWM from Ace2Nutzer but when i'm trying to install ROM error status 7 pops up. "apply parsed perms lsetfilecon"

//Edit

well, that didn't work :P
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Did the repartition worked?

If it did, flash latest ChronoMonochrome kernel first then flash ROM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
Hell yeah! Everything is working like a charm! Thanks everyone for help!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I always get "can't mount..." after flashing Repartition zip over Philz or TWRP...

Even after formatting data, system, etc.

Anything I could be missing?

CWM 6.0.5.0 from Ace2Nutzer is the olnly one doesn't give problems and actually works for me.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MrGohut:
Okay, so to sum up:

1. Stock ROM

2. Temp CWM

3. Ace2Nutzer Kernel

4. Repartition with zip

5. Format System, Data, Cache, SdCard0

6. ChronoMonochrome kernel

7. ROM

8. GAPPS

Done.

But now... "Setup Wizard has stopped" :D Same for Keyboard. What a mess :eek:

//Edit

Wipe repaired.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I'm not actually sure. But in my case, Philz works just as fine as CWM.

Can't say the same about TWRP since I'm too lazy to flash recovery all the time after a switch of kernel :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] riyosakura:
[MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] have been a while since the last time I visited Ace 2 Development page.

Galaxy Ace 2 Codina user are very lucky to have a developer such you.

Long time user and very loyal to codina, since many other has left this phone. ??

Sorry of im out of topic.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Thanks for remembering this forum :)

I didn't leave this device or android development is most probably because of two reasons: firstly, because it's a hobby for me and secondly - I just can't imagine that I would need to start learning another device-specific code, even if not from zero, it still would need much time to learning and understanding - it just how this way with codina was long. Never could imagine that basically purchase of a phone can lead to learning so much things :laugh:

It might be seem as loyality, but behind of that the fact that I don't need more powerful phone as it fits two mentioned things :)

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Deathgazeai:
Sd format/encrypt

Thanks for your hard work. I've flashed some roms before on my galaxy ace 2 but where unstable, especially cm11, and i reflashed to stock.

For me, marshmallow will really give life to this old device solely because of this particular feature of formatting the sd for itself as internal/all storage.

Is there any way, or reason, or hope that you maybe look at it and try a fix for it?

Just asking, thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
As for me, this is one of the most terrible "features" of Marshmallow. Why anyone ever thinking about using it as it supposed to be by android developers? It will not be usable in an usual sense of this word - 1) you will need to format sdcard and 2) the formattted sdcard will only work on your device. Really, this is just ridiculous. In any ways, I don't have an extra sdcard for such experiments. There is another way of using external sdcard as internal, which thanks to [MENTION=1508790]SergeyL[/MENTION] now is possible on 6.0 and implemented here by default.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Deathgazeai:
I didn't know sergeyl have implemented by default sd swap.

All i care is to have my 32g sd as insternal storage.

This is what marsmallow offers for a reason to users. Might be senseless to you as a developer but as a user for its not. That's why it is there!

So i am off to sergeyl's rom and i am good to go?

Thanks a lot for replying that quick, was surprised, much appriciated sir.

Take care;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
It's not a default feature on SergeyL's.

You have to substitute a file before flashing the ROM to have this "swap storages".

If you don't want it, just don't change it... It's simple.

Maybe you didn't understand well what Chrono said.

This "swap storages" is a default feature on Chrono's Ultimate ROM.

But it's not the same than stock MM... It's better for the "normal" user.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Deathgazeai:
I missread he's reply indeed.

Its as you said. I am as fresh to this forum as vibrating fish out of water.

I guess i am good to go with this awsome rom then?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Yeah.:good:

[MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION]

Seems looking better and better here. :good: :good:

Anyway, just wondering, would there be plans to add a pie control as well?

Also, in latest build, it seems WiFi is still not auto connecting after deep sleep. Is this currently a priority?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
I've already merged some features including PIE control (thanks to BenzoROM), but still haven't gotten enough time for resolving conflicts and testing, so I'm just adding handful of commits from release to release.

Unfortunately, found by SergeyL fix causes system time detection issues (time "freezing" in the status bar, not working alarm clock etc.) as it breaks a low-level system function, and this is why this fix is not there. Have no opportunity to test wifi autoconnect as I currently have no APs with the Internet access in around.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
New build 26.05.2016 is UP!

Changelog

26.05.2016

Work around wifi autoconnection issue (thanks to SergeyL for finding the cause of this issue)

Fixed video encoding issue by some apps (instagram video upload etc) - thanks to Meticulus for the original patch

Added LockClock back

Added option to show the weather in the status bar

Various small improvements, tweaks etc.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
New build 30.05.2016 is UP!

Changelog

updated wifi autoconnection fix (fixed the battery stats)

fixed SystemUI FC when switching USB mode via status bar notification

fixed GSM / WCDMA preferred / WCDMA Only switching

fixed soft reboot when switching 2G/3G with an enabled mobile data

added Pie Control from Paranoid Android

added SlimRecents

updated AOSP recents implementation ("clear all" button doesn't properly work, so don't enable it or use SlimRecents)

added task manager

allowed disabling of brighness slider disabling

revert AOSP camera to 5.1.1 (fixed the photo cropping issue)

added FAT images mounting via UMS mode support (use

sys.config.sd0_optdevice=full_path_to_the_image.img build.prop setting to override the device mounted as Sdcard0 or sys.config.sd1_optdevice for Sdcard1) *

There are two build verisons, odexed and deodexed (deodexed is considered as debug build as it's easier to debug deodexed builds).

* for creating the supported images refer to drivedroid topic. P.s. currently this app doesn't work with UMS implementation on this ROM, use sys.config.sd0_optdevice build.prop setting instead (this feature only works on odexed build as I forgot to update /system/bin/ums_init.sh script on deodexed version).

Enjoy!

I installed the rom, but my problem was that gapps doesnt installed because i used you old repartición.zip

I use [MENTION=6542205]Culateralligator[/MENTION] repartition.zip with twrp recovey.

I can confirm that works!!

PS during install repartition, error messages appears, but i fowolled guide for install, and now i have 750mb in system and can use pico gapps
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kjub:
confused

have done all

your latest build

your kernell

your gapps

installed ....

home button does not work ON YOUR ROM (worked before)

notification area cant pull down quick settings

and on powerbutton i see only POWER OFF option :/
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Cinick:
SO i did what you said

install install install insatll and i got a brick I unbricked nothing proud of myself so i guess i have to change the firmware that does the instalations for that cmw and unbricked my phone, so all the posts say install so for noobs a bit of recopilation would not be bad like flash odin tars etcetera already, how to change the firmware for the install is that good that i have not to fear... i will install the 6 when it is stable, but i thought just put in the fifth no video works and for the six there are not a lot of apps. install where install how? oh and i will tend to the post manual.... is like it happened to me before and i just got a real brick! some help would be apreciated i unbricked it with the 4 something form samsung frimware page, i had it rooted and with a different kernel then. some step to step would be so awesome!

Hi sir, no news of this rom?

For me works good, maybe more optimizations in build.

For me pie control is totaly unnecessary, because we have a small screen. Thank you
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
What GApps did you install?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] jordirpz:
Open gapps pico
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Please do not expect this ROM to be updated often. Enthusiasm is only what keeps the development here, so if I get enough motivation, I'll resume work.

If you don't use PIE, you can just disable it. It's useful to keep some features (even if they are unused) as majority of them are introducing changes required by another features.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] franta8512:
Will the new updated version? Enough Like
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] miva2:
Sweet! Exactly what I needed!

I'm running Vanir 4.4.4 really happy with it but an update wouldn't hurt right! :)

Looking forward to trying this out, hope I still find a moment this week.

Great work as always!

I'd like to contribute something if you still need help with something. I'll be pretty busy in the coming month(s) so it'll have to wait till after that but I'll find some moments.

Thanks for keeping our old low-end device still relevant :)

edit: with

do you mean that you did not test it and don't plan to test it.

Or do you mean that it might break my phone?

I guess I'll wait till I'm home to find out :p

Edit2:

And flashing through Philz seems to work fine!

Now to get some gapps on it and install tibu.

How do you guys get your phone up and running as fast as possible? I flash gapps, download titanium backup from the store and from there recover my apps. Maybe I should look into faster methods :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] 1francis:
Hi everybody and sorry because I couldn't read all the threat (I tried I promise) I like the rom (thank you) but I have problem, It can't detect de SIM card, Why? I swear I followed all the steps. I got twrp 2.8.7, ChronoKernel 4.4.2 + UltimateRom. Help Me, Please! Btw Excuse my English. Greetings

Hi!

I have a problem with some apps, everything seems fine but for example I open google maps and then freeze, but some other times it works fine. In other apps I have to pause the app, then go back for it work properly. Someone in similar situation?

It's the Reparted Zip working with SergeyL CM 13 Mod?

The /system is not enough for the Gapps their.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I've used this reparted zip with both ROMs with no problem.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Revan335:
Flash the ZIP in TWRP is right?

She wrote reparted Done.

And show the Messages not enough space of /system by flashing the open gapps from yesterday.

What's wrong?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
I have never tried reparted over TWRP... Always did it with ace2nutzer's kernel 'n CWM recovery.

Did you install OpenGapps Pico?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Revan335:
Yes, only the smallest (pico), no other Open GApps i flashed on custom Roms.

Where found the cwm Recovery for the Ace 2 Devices?

This and Philz Touch are discontinued, or?

They are chrono Kernel have a TWRP Recovery.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Ace2nutzer has just released a standalone cwm for this phone... But I haven't tried it with other kernel... only tried older kernel with reparted zip -it used to bring cwm along with the kernel-...

So I suggest flashing ace2nutzer kernel from July 2016 and flashing cwm reparted zip....

Then, restore previous ROM backup you have made or directly flash new ROM.

If someone has tried reparted zip over TWRP and succeed, then he may explain the way he did it... I've always had issues with it...

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

You have a lot of zips on this thread... Just read posts and you'll find several of then to download...

New build 20.09.2016 is UP!

Changelog:

Fully switched to an opensource RIL! Many thanks to [MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] for finding the working RIL sources and fixing it, also I'd like to thank [MENTION=6754437]millosr[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6043081]mickybart[/MENTION] from Nozomi (Xperia S) forum for fixing the crash when performing a call and providing patches for debugging the proprietary libril!

More libs now are built from source - credit goes to [MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION]

Added sdcardfs support (requires at least build r4.8 of Chrono Kernel)

Added home key press to accept the incoming call and power key press to end the active call features from CyanogenMod - thanks to [MENTION=1508790]SergeyL[/MENTION] for helping with finding those patches

Changed LowMemoryKiller tunables to the more aggressive + increased zram size to 400Mb - multitasking should be (hopefully) better

Changed Dynamic governor tunables to be more aggressive - well, I think 6.0.1 needs it. Don't know how much the power consumtion is worse after this, probably not that much

Various minor fixes that improves the stability of ROM

We've also finally got rid of all shim (i.e. interposed) libraries that were needed in order for some features (camera, GPS etc) to work

RIL: it was need a bit of work from my side too. It appeared that the device can't accept calls due the RIL_Call structure in a proprietary blob was a different from used one in sources - has took a while to understand and fix it.

Download links are available here

Remember to install latest release of Chrono Kernel, as this build doesn't currently have an included one (plus, both storages won't mount on earlier releases due to sdcardfs enabled by default).
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] 1francis:
Great news Chrono, Thank u so much! I am using Vanir + your Kernel and I can't believe how good it runs pokemon go. I was wondering if this rom could run it smoother? Thanks Sir Great Job

No, I believe, it can't. But it's up to you whether or not to test it.
