Will a flashing of the database cleaning zip still be required prior to flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
No, it shouldn't be needed. Just flash as you normally would.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
Thanks for the new build!!!

Having trouble with install though, didn't have any problems installing previous two builds. Flahsed ROM and Open Gapps - arm- 7.1 (tried both nano and pico 1-31-17 builds). While going through the initial set up, after entering wi-fi info it goes to the next screen until it says "Checking info" then the screen goes white. Pressing back takes me back to the select wi-fi screen. Selecting "use cellular network for setup" leads to the same white screen. Eventually I picked "don't use any network for setup" and was able to get to my home screen. I then tried opening the Play Store and it said "checking info" then the white screen again. Went back and in settings>account>add account>google and again with the white screen. While the screen is white, the soft-keys light up if I touch the screen and I can swipe down for the notification area to show but nothing else until pressing the back button.

Can't get a log since I can't install any apps...

Advice?

[MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION] Edit: I was playing around some more and if I press on the white screen in the correct spot the keyboard pops up. Can't see what i'm typing or what it's asking for though. Seems like I went through a few steps, prob entering google account and password but then got stuck when the keyboard popped up with just the number keyboard. No matter what I entered it would just keep showing the keyboard with numbers.

The problem of the white screen is by the Android app System WebView uses this version do not update in the play store from version 55 is that the screen goes blank

To enable go to settings> developer options and webview

When i start my phone I get there error phone services stopped. I think i had a reboot too. Lol yes i said i think. I am using is as an IP cam on my cats.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
I did not update anything. This was during the initial set up after flashing and first boot. Couldn't even open play store. I'm guessing new System Webview update is already included in the gapps? Either way after much trial and error I got through the white screen and it's all set up. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Oluseun:
How do you do this or how are you able to get through the white screen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RogueCoyote:
This is a very round about way to do it but it worked. I went back and flashed the last build with an old version of gapps and went through the set-up process. Once I got to where the white screen appears on the new build I wrote down/memorized the process. Trying to remember of the top of my head it was something like:

Click middle of screen to get keyboard to pop up and enter google account.

Wait.

Click near top of screen to get keyboard to pop up and enter google password.

Wait.

Click bottom right 3 times. wait. 1 more time near bottom right.

Wait.

Click near bottom middle.

At this point it should start restoring apps. (screen still white)

Wait for ever and pray it works.

If not press back button and try again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Seguraf13:
The way I got around this (even though I unchecked android system webview and chrome from aroma selection in open gapps) was using root explorer and system web view 54. I back out the initial white screen, came back to the wifi selection screen, and hit use no networks to setup. Then installed root explorer(any will do, just need access to system/apps), removed webview folder inside, rebooted and installed webview 54 off of apk mirror, went to the account page to add a google account and viola, all is well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
The Screenshot dir had the wrong permissions. (It was 'drw-rw----', it should be 'drwxrwx--x'). Renaming the dir allowed it to create a new one with the correct permissions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
Webview

It looks like the Webview package included was updated to v55 (which causes the blank screen issue). You can flash the package below which installs an older version of AOSP Webview that works.

Google Play issues

Hi, I installed the ROM Without a hitch and it seems quite snappy. I first saw an issue in the first setup, once i got past network setup it checked for updates then went straight to a white screen. this (obviously) seemed weird, so i went back and skipped network setup and at that point it worked and took me to the home screen. I was then completely stopped in my tracks when I tried to open the Play Store and I got the same blank screen, it is literally empty there is no battery indicator or clock or even status bar. I don't know if this is an issue with Open GApps (I got the recommended micro by the way) or if it is an issue with the ROM, no one else seems to have reported it so I'm thinking it might be an isolated issue.

Steps I've tried

Wiping cache for Play Store

Wiping data for Play Store

Wiping cache for Phone

Changing timezone and date

I don't expect much but if anyone could offer any help it's much appreciated :)

Today I revived my bricked T989D and installed a Telus factory JB image which would boot into the OS but hang and reboot during setup before locating a wireless network. Then I tried Slimbean 4.3 which also booted into the OS but would hang at "Just a sec...", roughly the same point where the factory image would reboot. Then I followed the instructions in this thread to virtual partition the device and install LineageOS. Everything goes smoothly up to the installation, but after I reboot the phone sits at the boot screen and never enters the OS. I then tried CM13 and the same thing happened. I have used ROMs on other phones where first boot can take 10 mins, but this has been running for 30 mins without entering the OS.

Any idea what's going on here?

Does this rom works on att skyrocket i727?

Im asking this noob question coz i read on this thread t-mobile skyrocket ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Yes. Just follow post 2.

In the CM13 days, we had separate threads for each phone, as initially, the ROMs were different.

Long story short, it was a mess. Bryan and I were posting things twice, there were the same questions on each thread and the same answers, and we had to remember who was on each forum.

However…

Wth a bit of tweaking, we made the roms universal between the two phones. Halfway through CM13 was when this happened.

So, when CM14 came around, we decided that there would be no more of this segregation and we put it in the Herc forum, mainly because the Herc thread is the most active. The thread is linked in the Skyrocket forum.

We can all combine brains and work together. It is a whole lot smoother.

​
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregrwm:
First, if you have repartitioned at some point, you need to revert the partitioning back to original. If you never repartitioned, or once original partitioning is restored, then you need to use a non-virtual recovery, eg TWRP 2.8.4, 2.8.5, or possibly 2.8.6, to perform the step of reformating the internal sdcard as ext4. Then upgrade to the 20161201 recovery, factory reset, and then flash the latest Lineage rom, and probably you'll want one of the gapps, i use pico.

i just re-read the OP instructions, they're better now than they were, they do clarify the Official TWRP vs the Virtual TWRP, but even so i think instruction #1 throws people and they don't get that the latest Official TWRP is NOT the Virtual TWRP.

---------- Post added at 23:31 ---------- Previous post was at 23:02 ----------

This is how i think the OP instructions could be improved:

Make sure you have the latest Official TWRP (NOT the Virtual TWRP) installed.

...

...

In (Official) TWRP, ...

...

Copy the newest version of my Virtual TWRP recovery to your device and flash it.

...

Once the device has rebooted back into (Virtual) TWRP recovery, goto mount then uncheck and recheck data.

...

...

...

...

and, bryan, THANK YOU for this super rom!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fattest:
Thanks for the detailed reply, this is actually what I did. I bricked the phone a while back because of messing up the virtual partition steps. In order to go back to original partitioning, I found a stock .PIT file and flashed that along with the latest Telus stock image via ODIN, then flashed official TWRP 2.8.4.0 and I could see my partitions again. Then followed the steps as written in OP (reformat internal storage to ext4, flash TWRP 12-01-16, goto mount, uncheck and check data, flash rom+gapps. One thing I noticed is after flashing the ROM, internal storage is completely empty except for TWRP folder. None of the 'standard' folders such as Alarms, Android, Documents, Download, Music, etc are there. Is that expected since I haven't been able to successfully boot into the OS?

I'll give it another shot from the beginning. The one thing I wasn't sure about was do I need to flash the stock pit if I'm loading a stock image, or will the stock image restore the original partitions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Yes the folder thing should be fine. Android generates it automatically.

Hopefully, you backed up everything on internal storage that you wanted.

The stock image should restore partitions.

The best thing to do is follow the instructions from the start, flash and reboot. If it boots, it boots. If it doesn't, something went wrong. And first boot can take up to an hour depending on the circumstances, and after the "SAMSUNG" logo, the screen does go blank for a while.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jansenw95:
Would it be difficult to add OMS support to this ROM so that it natively supports substratum? Or will that require too much work and time that should be spent on fixing current problems?

Also, the Google app searches and XDA news prowl both show blank pages. In solid explore, whenever I open a text file, all it shows is a blank page. Does this have anything to do with Android webview being broken?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bryan2894:
It should be in the next release.

The patches to get it working we're recently uploaded to the Lineage gerrit, so it shouldn't be difficult. The latter issue is probably related to webview.

I can't really reproduce the issue, but from the logs its an issue with the linphone library included with the FreedomPop app. Try the zip attached which updates the library.

are the following two composing behaviours implemented in gmail, or are these android behaviours not specific to gmail? what venue, if any, welcomes comment on such behaviours?

when composing, when trying to select a region of text, it's terribly limiting that the keyboard insists on displaying itself. it would be much more friendly if the keyboard stayed as i left it, and once i have made my selection, i could call up the keyboard with some icon right there with the cut and paste icons.

and when composing and trying to select some text (and even sometimes when entering text), the displayed region often jumps far away. this is very disruptive! it seems to be related to trying to make a selection that goes to the side margin. and perhaps it might be related to having quoted message history with some wide content.

I was considering reformating my internal storage in hopes of better performance. Does this ROM support F2FS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Yep. Just be warned that if you turn your phone on and off a lot, F2FS isn't gonna help you.

I suggest making sure you don't have many games, bloatware (Facebook, Chrome, Messenger, etc), and check Settings → Memory → Memory used by apps to see if anything that isn't Android System, Android OS, etc, is at the top of the list. If it is, reconsider.

The biggest thing, however, is don't set your expectations too high for a five and a half year old phone. Phones age twice as fast as desktops (imo), so that is essentially an 11-year old computer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mawdogbe:
Thanks! What's the recommended way of going about this process?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
If no app data or files on your internal storage are important to you, you can skip the next three steps. But I suggest doing it anyways.

Make a Nandroid backup (shouldn't have to explain it by now, Google exists). Select your MicroSD card as it saves time. Make sure Data is checked.

Copy

everything

from your internal storage (/sdcard) to a safe space.

Everything on your internal storage will be erased!!!! Never say I didn't warn you!

I suggest copying the files in recovery or simply moving the files to your external SD card (/storage/xxxx-xxxx or /external_sd in recovery) because it is a lot faster.

If you copied stuff to your external SD card, I suggest, in recovery, you go to Mount and uncheck MicroSD Card, then take out the MicroSD card. Better to be safe than sorry.

Eject and unplug your phone from your computer if you haven't already. Additionally, in Mount, uncheck Data and Cache.

In recovery, go to Wipe → Advanced wipe. Check Data and select Repair or change filesystem. Click Change filesystem, then F2FS. Now do what it says to confirm, it is usually a slider.

Press home. Do the same steps as before only checking Cache.

If any of these give errors (red text), press home, then go to Reboot, Recovery, and try again.

If you want to start fresh, just reboot normally and done. Otherwise, plug in your SD card and reboot into recovery again.

Go to Restore and find your latest backup. You might need to change your storage to MicroSD card again.

Check "Data" only. Nothing else really matters. Swipe.

It will complain. Ignore it.

Copy everything you backed up earlier back into your internal storage.

Reboot.

EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, and FAT.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
Did you choose 12-01, not the top one? The order is weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mawdogbe:
What do you mean? Choose 12-01 where?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
In recovery, first of all, make sure that on the top it says 3.0.2-0. If it doesn't, update. Otherwise, try this.

Make sure System is unchecked in Mount.

Go to Advanced → Terminal.

Carefully type (warning: the keyboard SUCKS) getprop ro.build.date

Press Enter.

If you have the right recovery, it should start with:

Thu Dec 1

If it says something else, you have the wrong version.

Does this mean I need the virtual repartition recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
​

Ugh. The ONE time I wasn't specific enough.

Everything should be done on the virtually repartitioned recovery.

The only time you should ever be on the "official" recovery is if you are installing an older ROM that is not virtually repartitioned (whyyyyy?), or you are going from a phone that isn't virtually repartitioned to one that is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mawdogbe:
Sorry. Should have paid better attention.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
No problem.

That is far from the stupidest thing I have seen on this thread. [emoji14]

What you did was a common mistake.

It was so common in the CM13 days that we had to make the ROM installer check if the phone was repartitioned before it would let you flash it.
