I loathe this phone. MetroPCS stores have even pulled it from their shelves. I've checked with Chainfire and other devs and it's a "meh" situation.

Close this thread.

I have to get another phone to replace other POS, they reason we got the phones is they are almost indestructible.

I've punted it into a curb, stomped on the toshes down the basketball court.

Then put it all back together, it worked until I threw it out of car window going 40 miles a hour.

Believe it or not, a friend found the phone it still worked, even though I did all that stuff to it over a week.

So, I understand. :good:

Correct me if im wrong but isn't the fierce 4 essentially a rebadged fierce xl?... I remember the xl had the same locked bootloader. The qcp multi engineering tool was used to flash stock firmware onto the xl, it could possibly be used to make the fierce 4 into an xl and root it from there..

Hey Guys,

So i have this phone as a 2nd device to my LG G6 and using it in Jamaica for a couple months now, got it as a gift, basically the person said it was Unlocked and i took it and added my local sim and yes it was working, making calls and getting calls etc, some reason couldn't get it to work with a data plan, so i just connect it via hotspot with my LG G6 so i just use 1 data plan, tonight i went to check for a software update, don't know what tempted me to do it, but sure enough there was one, downloaded the update and installed it, device booted up, now for the life of me don't know what the hell went wrong, it is just not pickjing up the sim card anymore and when i go to the device unlock app thinking it could be the problem, all i'm getting if fail, what do you guys think happened?

Does anyone know where i can download stock rom for the Alcatel Fierce 4 Tmobile variant?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavlepiramida:
Tips for usage

For best experience I suggest you:

*set your CPU Governor to lulzactive

*set your I/O Governor to zen or CFQ

*If you dont use memory hungry apps disable KSM (it will improve your battery life just a little bit and performance)

*go to Settings/Developer options and reduce all animations to 0.5

*disable all touch sounds

*turn off Daydream in Settings/Display & lights

*turn off profiles if you do not use them

*go to Settings/Privacy and disable CyanogenMod statistics reporting

*also while you are there if you are not using Blacklist disable it

Hey Pavle,

Why do you suggest turning CM stat reporting off ? I understand it's not very useful, but is there a real performance gain, or just a marginal one ?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavlepiramida:
For me that is always off as it is pinging their servers on every boot and sometimes causes a wakelock.

I did notice a small boost in performance but that could very well be a placebo.

Disabling does not harm you,so why not turn it off :D
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breversa:
Haha, alright, I did not know about that potential wakelock. :)

BTW, I'll have my friend try out one these builds tomorrow to try and make that wifi work again. I'll keep you informed ! :)

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeroblood:
Well started from scratch and that mdnsd isgone away but my cell standby does fluctuate. I notice that data icon switches from 3G to H back and forth somewhat frequently and my signal bars will fluctuate frequently. I'm in a large city in Canada and have Fido as a carrier which is owned by Rogers, so there are plenty of towers around. I live in the ground floor of my apartment building so my signal should never drop more then a bar. Sometimes I notice I only have two bars which I shouldn't because I haven't left my house. Not sure what could be causing this. Sometimes cell standby can be between 15% to 45%.

It always says 0% without a signal when I click on cell standby. Is this a bad thing? What I get from this is is on standby is using minimal power. Before flashing this ROM. Android OS , Android System , and Google Services was always the highest in my bat stats. Now I am using this ROM. I've wake locked blocked everything and greenified the crap out of it. I don't require my phone to sync a billion times a day.

Please advise if this should be a concern. I haven't had a chance to do a full charge and let it sit again because I ve needed my phone. I will try again soon.

Shout out to the developer. Amazing support for my little ACE 2 !!!! Thank you! Much appreciated!!!
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavlepiramida:
Finally some useful report,dude you pretty much reported the **** out of this,KUDOS!

All info I needed you provided!

So I have few ideas for your signal issue,one is pretty straight forward and the otherone is a bit tricky (involves you doing few things will PM you about it).

As for mdnsd,I doubt you needed to reflash a good old reboot would have helped too :D

When you disable network/data system doesnt utilize modem so much hence the standby 0.

Biggest battery crusher on legacy devices is use of 3g data.

Im doing few tests with my PAC that will be applicative on CM as well so when Im done Ill contact you about signal issue and if we solve it,well post fixes here so others can benefit from it!

Once again kudos on report!
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeroblood:

Question for you. I noticed in the ops the download for the ROM is cm-11-20170128-UNOFFICIAL-kylessopen.zip

On my phone I have the cm-11-20160921-unofficial-kylessopen.zip. If I want to flash the more updated one, do I have to wipe my phone and start from scratch again? Or can I flash the newer update without having to start from scratch.

Right now I'm playing with chromium,trying to make it a little better and more suited for our legacy device!

Stayed tuned folks!

PS

Don't ask for ETA,keep an eye on the thread,I will notify you when I make it and uploaded it to my AFH!

New Build

NEW BUILD will be uploaded soon.

New build:

*Fixed few "silent" errors (user-space apps were unable to access some kernel folder)

*Fixed few animations

*Implemented "Move to SD" for apps using [MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION] commits (Thank you so frikin much!!)

*MTP works out-of-the-box,no need to switch/enable it (a simple fix I was lazy and oversaw last few builds)

*Include my FrankenKernel test branch (and the irony is my test works better than "master").

*Removed 00frandom script for binding frandom module to urandom (I find that urandom provides a better user experience)

If you want back 00frandom,tell me Ill make you a flashable zip for it.

*Since few users reported having random reboot,most likely kernel oops (cant be sure I never had one on same setup like you guys [MENTION=5830688]motoralbi[/MENTION]) I decided Id compile kernel with gcc thats used with stock kernel by Samsung.

*Since November security patch most users were unable to use xposed as google implemented a zygot verification of frameworks.I reverted it (well hacked it to be more precise).

I will provide a flashable zip for this issue,as I want my builds to be inline with security measures Google pushes.

So if you want to use xposed on this build first youll have to flash xposed-fix.zip Ill be providing.

I personally do not like xposed and do not use it,and if you are like me then theres no need for you to flash this zip as its a pretty big security breach.

TO ALL CANADIAN USERS
