Do you have SIM card? You could try pull it out. Just for test. And then boot or reboot to see if there is still some traffic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foss_enthusiast:
I know that there is traffic only because the network is billing me. Its happening on 2 different networks so they are not the issue. 0 bytes is what the OS and Glasswire show.

Anyone else having issues booting with Hercules on T989D? I keep trying to install it on my phone and everytime I get a whole bunch of messages for apps closing like com.android.media and Calendar and com.android.acore and then it just crashes. I've tried running both the 9/21 build and the 10/11 build both with and without gapps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Peryon:
Try in apps settings for media to force stop, clear cache and data, disable then enable. For acore err do the same to contacts storage. I know it has to be annoying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K1ube:
But I can't because I haven't even set up the device yet. It crashes while I'm setting it up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K1ube:
Okay I managed to get into the settings by pulling down the notification shade when an error pops up, and all the apps say 0B used. I'm assuming I improperly formatted the device in twrp?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Peryon:
If you can reach settings can you see internal memory distribution?

adb install works well

titanium backup works too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K1ube:
Yes and all of the categories like applications, music etc stay at calculating if thats what your asking for
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Peryon:
Yes, but what stays for general distribution (internal shared storage)? BTW, I also have to wait for calculation. How long did you wait? Sometimes I have to wait for 5-10 sec. See attached pictures.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K1ube:
Well before I waited for a good 5 minutes and nothing happened but this time overall usage is 3.88GB / 14.68GB, Apps is at 8KB, system at 3.59GB, and Other at 295MB. All the others are at 0B
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Peryon:
So, can I presume that you don't have any third party apps yet? As you can see we have same storage capacity. Did you passed setting screen after all ? Do you choose on start to copy data from another device or setup as new? I'd try clean flash again. Did you wiped all in twrp? I encountered similar issues when dirt flashing. Of course, Back up!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nero50:
i thought i was the only one this was happening to
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K1ube:
Wiped EVERYTHING in TWRP, installed lineage, tried nano and pico gapps (not at the same time obviously) and no gapps, booted, and as soon as I get to the setup installer, everything starts crashing, when you try to set up as new device, setup crashes and when it crashes thats how I was able to get to settings because it lets you pull down the notification shade, and any time I try to change a setting the device crashes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Peryon:
You can also reboot in recovery and try wipe dalvik and cache only after rom installation. I had also setting up stop respnding but i could pass that and go on with setting phone up. It's really strange. Did you follow first post precisely?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K1ube:
Tried wiping dalvik/cache already, one thing I did do different was I flashed a newer and different version of twrp from the official site for this phone because the one I was supposed to use couldnt find some of the partitions, but this one succesfully finds all of them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K1ube:
I did manage to get to the file explorer from the settings and the internal storage said 0 bytes free
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] K1ube:
Nvm didn't reformat internal storage even though I though I did. Hope it works this time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Peryon:

So, guys, I still have problem with phone wake up when receiving calls. I have to wait tree vibration periods or 3-4 sec to screen wake up. Then I can see who calls and answer. Does anyone has this issue? I stopped a lot Google play services but that shouldn't affect the performance? Or?

Please help.

Tried last night clean flash. No gapps , third party apps., clean ROM. Left it to "rest" 15-20 minutes. Called myself and received call on a cellphone after second ring in land line, than cellph started to ring, screen finally woke up after 7-8 sec! Rolled down few builds back and calls work flawlessly. Last build is almost perfect except this issue, at least for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Texas_Ace:
How stable is this rom? Good enough for a daily driver? All my other phones in the family are on Lineage 14.1 and it would be nice to bring my 2 Skyrockets up to the same version.

The skyrockets have been on CM11 for the last few years and worked good but it is time for a reinstall.

Where do I find the correct stock PIT file / stock firmware that will restore the stock pit file

Thanks

I saw that thread but it said it was for the T989, I assume the same pit file works for the I727?

Yes, same PIT. It was taken from skyrocket
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Texas_Ace:
Thanks I got them working and actually surprised how well they handle Nougat once they have settled down after a day or so. They also no match all my other phones so support is much easier.

Phone wont wake up in calls.

Tnx for great job. We are so lucky to have you.

Unfortunately, issue with waking a screen in incoming calls persisted on my phone.

Please can any one help me? Or at least confirm if anyone has this issue or not. Id like to know if this is isolated case so I can confirm it is some sort of hardware issue. But in earlier builds, I've been using old one from January for a month at least, phone wake up instantly on first ring.

This last builds run so smoothly except this annoying issue. Bryan can you help me? P L E A S E!

It's one last step to perfection.

I'll try to wipe and reboot.

Tnx!

Didn't help.

P.S. I tried multiple solutions found on forums. It's even worse. If phone is idle too long screen doesn't wake up at all. Please guys...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] S2S5:
Thanks bryan2894 for your great work so we can enjoy Lineage 14.1.2 on this 6 year old phone!!:good::good:

Just to report another similar bootloop for 727r (skyrocket) on Lineage-14.1-20171011-UNOFFICIAL-celox:

Last Friday, after sooth run on the October build for a month, during a restartup, the device shown the Galaxy logo, then looped at the Lineage animation … until I removed the battery. Tried restart several times, same thing.

Tried just wiping cache, Dalvik/Art, then reinstall Lineage-14.1-20171011, or Lineage-14.1-20170921 ----- It's still rebooting.

Finally, a re-installation after a full wipe (factory reset) brings everything back to normal.

BTW, I am on the 20170921 build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Peryon:
It started in lineage-14.1-20171011-UNOFFICIAL-celox.zip. I tried in both newest builds fresh install (after factory reset) to install rom only, no gapps, no third party apps. Issue is there. I found last night under the "call" settings section "calling accounts" and there was option "in-call screen settings" that was unchecked. I turned it on and that speed up things drastically. Maybe it's just placebo effect - we'll see. It's not like before but more acceptable than waking a screen in 7-8 sec or not at all.

Thank you Bryan. You are our hero.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tim.ishimuni:
For what it's worth, I did wipe and do a fresh reinstallation of 2017 10 11 and no problems since. Don't know exactly what triggered it, though. I'll keep beating up on it to see if I can reproduce the problem.

I' m on it right now. Waiting to boot. Will report back. Bryan, tnx bro. You are the man.

First try - it's a same. It woke up after 5th ring. I'll turn on that option I mentioned, reboot, let it sleep and try again. I was thinking could be issue related to cell operator or signal strenght and reception?

Second try - it woke up between second and third ring!

Third try - after sixth ring.

fourth - between 1st and 2nd! its getting better and better...

one more...

Thank you Bryan. Don't bother too much. I explored options a bit. I can set volume buttons to answer the call. After waking it up with power button.

fifth ...same as fourth! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Okay
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Peryon:
Day two on latest build

Symptoms are back. Waiting to long for screen to wake up. Maybe is labile signal reception to blame. But system of hard keys power-wake up, volume - answer - works just fine. I noticed in last two builds that vibration is same like in official rom, good and strong, sound in calls is perfect, but when receiving call speaker cracking and melody is distorted, in milliseconds only but noticeable. I use built-in melodies, not custom. Maybe there is connection between these two symptoms.

Sorry i been so busy x mass shopping i will test the new build on the weekend. If i have problems i will catch a log cat. But when i do make a log i cant up load it here. Maybe in the e mail section it will let me do it. Maybe bc i am not high enough status to up load one dunno. Do u think it is because i am using the log app called log cat? Tnx good luck with ur shopping people.

Wake up screen when receiving calls

Part III.

I granted permission to trebuchet to access calls and that speed up things. Now screen wake up regularly after no more than four rings/vibration. I also noticed it's slower when I'm in some spots with bad reception. Set min frequency 485. Could lockscreen interfere somehow?

is wifi calling possible with this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eris170:
Can someone explain what this means? I thought the way to repartition the device was using a modified PIT but then after partitioning, the installer is telling me that a custom PIT is not allowed.

FP says...

NOTE: You must virtually repartition your device, otherwise you cannot install this ROM! See the 2nd post for details.

and then this....

NOTE: If you repartitioned your phone using a pit file, its recommended that you flash back the original unmodified pit to take full advantage of the increased space.

How do you repartition without a custom PIT?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eris170:
I've been trying to upgrade my device off kit kat for the past few days. I'm not sure what's wrong but I couldn't get lineage ROM to install on my sgh-t989 without first flashing cm-12 and cm-13. And finally changing the MD5SUM in the partitioncheck.sh script.

I tried returning the device to stock PIT using Heimdall and a PIT I saved earlier (from heimdall). I was 4096 bytes while other people's seem to be 3724. Was a little uneasy about flashing that but it eventually didn't seem to matter. I found a celox_usa_0824.pit on the web somewhere and using vbindiff against my stock PIT. I could see the celox PIT had exactly two bytes different in the USERDATA partition info (offset 0xC23 = 0x41 and 0xC4C = 0x34) ..not the bytes for the partition size. I changed those two bytes in my saved stock PIT and repartitioned and flashed stock back over. Lineage still said my partition was wrong. hrm..

I unzipped the lineage install and found the partitioncheck.sh script. Found the MD5SUM for p11 and checked my at the command line. Yep, it was different. I used dd to dump the entire p11 paritition to a file and transferred it to my desktop. Pulled that dd file into vbindiff and looked at what was different. Nothing. Aside from the end of the file being padded with 0x0, It matched my stock file exactly, which was weird because I thought I re-flashed with the celox PIT changes (and the different two bytes). After some head scratching, I ended up changing the MD5SUM in partitioncheck.sh to what mine was (running md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 | awk '{ print $1 }' over adb) and re-zipped the ROM. My changes here:

...

# This is the stock PIT file's MD5.

#STOCK_PIT_MD5="b8997d010456d4f1986db968b28c53ec"

# mine... after flashing stock sgh-t989 pit back. Apparently the "stock" pit found on the Tubes has two bytes different than mine.

# I tried flashing it with hiemdall but p11 still ended up different. I modified the script after verifying the pit from p11

# matched stock (using dd if=/dev/block/...p11 )

STOCK_PIT_MD5="02c36c69fb1f450df878a416f6779575"

PIT_MD5=$(md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 | awk '{ print $1 }');

# ui_print by Chainfire

...

Seems to finally be working on android 7.1. Anyone know why my stock PIT would have been different than what the lineage installer was looking for? As far as I know, I've never re-partitioned but I have had a few different ROMS on the device.

I followed the directions and installed no problems. Make sure you install the right version of TWRP I found TWRP3.1.1-0_Hercules-10-13-17.zip

(I am attaching to this thread to help you)

* I was unable to do the format part of internal storage, I got an error BUT I still continued on and it worked for me. I have the extra ram/storage space :)

It will take about 10 minutes for it to boot up.

Also some of you can get stuck on the setup screen do

1. touch the 4 corners of the screen in clockwork direction and it will let you into the setup screen

OR

Install ROM, reboot into ROM...maybe connect with your wifi

THEN reboot into recovery and then install GAPPS, reboot again (wipe cache and dalvik cache before reboot)

I found the dark theme setting..it's a little hidden

go to DISPLAY then scroll down (under CAST) you should see THEME...pick what you want, press in circle to place the check mark.

It looks great. I did not have to install Nova Launcher.

Q's - What Phone are you using + model? + Rom? - App to stream music/File? - Approx distance from phone to receiving device (Your over-kill car radio with amp, 20" Subwoofer+10 1000 watt speakers?? :silly: haha j/k .. (Radio/soundbar/ect) in Inches?- What is the receiving device (+ model if you know it)? -What is it that you are streaming ( music? Voice calls? video?)- IF music/file Then is that music/file on an SD card or device?. ~~~~~ Requested screen shots = Settings_memory-SHOT Settings_storage-SHOT Settings_apps~Click 3 dot menu~Show system~_Bluetooth Share_SHOT Go back to apps then Bluetooth MiDi_SHOT ~~~~~~~~~~~~I will review what you respond and I will go from there.

Thanks! It was doing it again. I noticed when I rebooted it was working fine.

I tried it on my soundbar and same issue. It's not a distance issue with wifi as my soundbar is 6 feet from my router.

I am using a Hercules T989 with the Rom version before the one you are using now.

Funny thing is my Skyrocket (i-747?) has the same rom and is working fine...actually more snappy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bcoates84:
The i727 came out one month after the t989 but it should be so close. Didnt know u had both.

I727 = Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon S3CPUDual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion

T988 = Qualcomm APQ8060 Snapdragon S3CPUDual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion

They should be the same speed really. Answer the other questions in previous post.

Over clock the phone. Speed the cpu up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] droiduzr2:
Maybe I missed it...where is the OC kernel for this ROM.

Your other questions doesn't apply really. I tried Spotify and Xiia same results.

It was the phone issue, when I reboot it was okay.

I also noticed that it turned itself off one time...charged to 100% sitting on the dock.

This is bad given it's my backup alarm clock. I might blow this away and restart from fresh.

Before I do...can you help verify something for me...what does your partitions say...how much space (RAM) do you have....I need to make sure I formatted it properly. thx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bcoates84:
Yup. Thats why I asked u for screen shots so i could compare the phones :eek: I was really trying to gather all the info needed to narrow down the issue and avoid the unnecessary back n fourth :(. In regards to dissmissing my questions and then you go on asking me what I originally asked you to answer?????, so I could compare our phones; by showing/sharing info via screen shots / questions. I feel insulted. In regards to the SD, what happened to me is...When I used spotify and saved my songs on the sd card it would lag real bad through out the entire system songs/ functions. I changed out the sd card and it was much better. I forgot it was an low/cheep sd card. In regards to the boot loop issue, it was a knowen issue in the previous builds. I experanced that issue as well on the older roms. Have a good day. :good:

I had Bluetooth issues as well with latest build. Music was very choppy... I tried several Bluetooth devices including rebooting my T989

My fix was rebooting phone to Recovery and wiping the cache, Dalvik/Art.. I have no issues now..Music streams perfectly..

-My tips for speeding up the phone

1)Turning off the Google Play store auto update apps.. this lags the phone when phone downloads and.installs updates..

2)under battery in settings set it to performance

3.) If you use Facebook or messenger install the lite versions. These run noticeable faster.

Hope this helps someone out there..Overall I would say this is a terrific ROM. I play basic games and runs great for my needs.
