My S2 hangs/reboots frequently (1 or 2 times/day). I think I can live with that. It happens less frequently since I got a bigger battery (backpack style) .

After every reboot WiFi is off and often my custom backgrounds are gone.

How can I start Lineage 14.1 always with WiFi enabled?

How can I make custom backgrounds permanent?

TIA,

toshibashi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dumdidum123:
What you are describing is not normal behavior. Not the rebooting nor the wifi turn off and background-gone behavior. If wifi was on before, wifi should be on after a reboot as well. If it was off, then it will be off after reboot.

I experienced a few times, that my launcher crashed and afterwards the custom background was gone. But just like two times a year.

Do these behaviors also appear when you manually reboot your device?

Did you try to do a clean install?

Hi,

LineageOS supports user profile. You may switch by accident to the guest profile which have no personalization.

Slide down status bar to quick access screen and you will see a blue icon in the top side. press on it to switch user.

Hope this help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toshibashi:
Hi,

thanks for the hints. It happened again and I checked the quick access screen as you guggested. I'm still user, not guest.

I usually carry the phone in my pocket. I'm not jogging or working with a steam hammer but sometimes the phone switches itself on. I feel the warm surface of the OLED screen on my thigh and when I take it out I see the default lock screen, not the self-made black_background.png that I was using. WiFi and mobile networks are off.

I can re-activate WiFi for the moment but must re-boot to enable mobile phone and data again (plus WiFi once again since it's always off after reboot).

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nobby1960:
The best way is to deactivate the default AudioFX EQ in settings/apps. I completely uninstalled it. It often happens that both apps together cause problems, the drivers of Viper4Android are not loaded correctly.

First deactivate now AudioFX. Than de-install Viper4Android and flash it again. Good luck!

Your problem is not caused by the ROM. I did think you have to flash from start with clean wipe in TWRP and see if your problems still exist.

Re: Calendar Wrong Date 1970 or 1969 Workaround

Try the workaround described here in the S3 i9300 LineageOS 14.1 thread: Calendar Date Bug:

Is your date problem with stock Calendar or Google calendar?

Try > Settings > Apps > Calendar > Storage > Clear Data.

Check in > Settings > Date & time > turn on Automatic date & time and Automatic time zone. If they were already selected by default try toggling off and set date, time & time zone manually.

Then if you have one > Settings > Accounts > Google > 3-dots > Remove account > reboot > Settings > Accounts > Add account Google.

Please report back if you fix your issue or not. :cool:

will not update now?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mafish:
Hi i just got a GS2, flashed TWRP and installed lineageos (latest build) and gapps, everything went fine, but i can't access my phone through USB on lineage os, in TWRP it works fine i can see the files when i connect the usb to my computer, but once i boot into the system it does not work.

I tried everything, changing from usb charging to transfer files (screen kinda flashes but nothing happens), went to developer options and enabled MTP, also going through other options PTP and etc, again it did not work, tried with different cables, different computers, it simply does not want to show the files.

At least i can browse the files in lineage os, i do not have a sd card, im just trying to access the internal storage just to transfer my music.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] guest4711:
Looks like a problem with your windows driver. ADB uses another driver than the running Android. Either you copy your data using ADB, find the proper driver or copy your data over wifi...

BTW MyPhoneExplorer is great for copying/synchronizing data (, contacts and calendars) between PC and phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mafish:
So i just reflashed lineage os on my dad's galaxy S3 and it works with no issues even on his macbook (android file transfer app), all the files are there while my S2 seems to be dead (only charges when in system)

One thing i noticed is that on the files app from Lineage OS it shows the internal storage as sdcard0 instead of something like "Internal Storage" or "Internal Memory".

I might give a try to MyPhoneExplorer but would love to just plug to any computer (home or at work) and simply transfer files as a mass storage.

Cheers

Hi, i'm interested in which bigger battery you chose, is it working good? I see a lot of those oversized battery packs online but i'm afraid they don't work as expected.

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toshibashi:
Double-Size Replacement Battery

Well, that depends on what you expect ;)

1.) All battery sellers are liars.

2.) All Li-Ion cells have about the same capacity per volume or per weight. Don't expect more than twice the original capacity from a double-size pack.

3.) Original 1650 mAh-cells were 10% heavier and thicker in size than industry-standard cells. Samsung stopped the production of original cells years ago. They never sold that type of cells to other manufacturers. See point (1) above....

So, don't expect more than 2800 mAh which is about twice the capacity of a good fake-"original" replacement battery.

Apart from the above the fat batteries are more or less ok. You can still find them here.

Good luck!

Toshibashi

ps:

original weight is 32 g, thickness 5.31 mm

"fake originals" are 28 g, 4.86 mm

pps:

Double-size packs contain 2 standard cells in parallel which can be helpful to bridge high-current spikes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Just a side note, but depending on where you live, Samsung is still selling their original batteries for Galaxy Camera (EB524759VK / EB524759VA) which are also compatible with the Galaxy S2. I was able to buy two of them just a few months ago, and they are still available to buy right now. The price is rather right though (25$).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toshibashi:
Thanks for pointing me to the Galaxy Camera. I must have missed that, I've never seen one.

Frankly, I don't believe Samsung is still making new batteries for a 2012 camera or smartphone model. And who would like to buy a 6-year old battery from old stock?

Well, that's where the liars kick in (remember my first rule :) ). It's relatively complicated to make good custom-size Li-Ion cells but it's easy to print 'original' stickers.

Look at this example:

[IMG="Slim Style Lithium Cell"]https://img1.daumcdn.net/thumb/R720x0.q80/?scode=mtistory&fname=http%3A%2F%2Fcfile24.uf.tistory.com%2Fimage%2F999DA44F5A88A05B0503C0[/IMG]

The surface of the battery looks slightly depressed because the cell inside is thinner than Samsung's original 1650-mAh cell. If you'd peel off the sticker you might see two sheets of cardboard that partly compensate the depressed look. Others may spend more on cardboard so you won't see no difference at all.

The difference, however, is in weight: original 32 grams, fake about 28 grams. The missing 4 grams - cardboard sheets not counted - make a difference of 12.5 percent so expect 12.5 % less milliamp hours.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rekotc:
thanks for the explanation :D

Anyway, the european retail store MediaMarkt still have the battery listed on their italian website, i dont know what to think of it. Plus, i got a new "original" battery from a well known canadian website (i don't know if i can post the name here, i don't want to break any forum rule), it seems to me it is working fine since april, the guy is also well known for his youtube videos on how to spot a fake (samsung galaxy) battery, so to me it sounded like there was a chance to get an original part.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toshibashi:
If you found something interesting - why not post it? I hope you're lucky with your new battery so please let us share your experience.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rekotc:
Oh well, then, the website is https://qualitycellularparts.com/ and they also have many youtube videos explaining how to spot a fake battery. Honestly, i find hard to believe that Samsung is still producing new batteries (mine has a 2018 label on it) for this old phone, but i wanted to try anyway. Until now, i can consider myself pretty much satisfied with it. I use the phone mainly for whatsapp/telegram and twitter (the official client), plus calls, sms and some limited internet browsing (i hate to browse on the phone), no gaming at all. Twitter is a real resource hog, but if i limit its use i can go through the day with it, around 11-12 hours. Up to 15 if i keep it in energy saving mode. Right now the battery is 8 months old, sounds good to me, considering that my main goal is simply to reach the end of the working day :)

I hope it helps!

Could not find a more recent post regarding Android Go. Has anyone tried to use the low RAM mod (https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-low-ram-property-patcher-android-t3737373) on LineageOS 14.1?

[MENTION=2222292]rINanDO[/MENTION]: You indicated the above option for LineageOS 15.1 but the main post of the linked thread indicates that the functionality exists since KitKat but might depend on the build. Would you know for your Nougat build?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] guest4711:
Yes, it is working fine. And if you don't like it you may reset the build props or flash the uninstaller. So try it yourself.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yeah, the batteries which I bought from Samsung were manufactured a few years ago, but this should not really matter as long as they had been stored properly. I personally would still always prefer to buy such older original batteries to any of the noname batteries sold online.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] js-xda:
I tried the last days and can install the build props either way (with the usual error 4) but I can not notice any difference (which might be good in the first place). How can I - besides the recent app overview (where I see no difference) - see within the running OS whether it operates on low RAM mode?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] guest4711:
Some features are disabled on low ram mode, e.g. multi user mode. And you should notice a little bit less ram usage so new apps should start quicker (less need for paging out other apps).

Still when I tried to use ES File Explorer and turn on the 'root access' It kept shuting down that option.

Hi,

do you mean official directly with Android Pie or do you mean Nougat?

I would like to still have at least a couple of official Nougat builds if possible.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] js-xda:
Looking to the current status as reported in the 8.1.0 ("Almost everything is working") and 9.0.0 (some graphic and stability issues - if I sum up correctly - and it requires one more repartitioning step) thread, it seems very promising that we might be able to move soon to either of them as a daily driver. But, from the post #823 in the 8.1.0 thread (sorry, directly posting the link resulted in automatic blocking of this post), it appears that the current show stopper for getting 7.1.0 updates (which I would also love to still see a few more) is less on the content but more organizational - correct? If yes, would that be also a show stopper for the 8.1.0 or 9.0.0 builds? I would really love to have the OTA update functionality of official LineageOS builds. Is there something where we (the not so technical people) could support? I have my way (and I could probably find back the sources) of installing LineageOS 7.1.2 and the required boot loader in steps still more or less at hand. But I wouldn't know whether it is the best and most correct route - while it worked for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ale5000:
I'm developing OTA zips so I will need 7.1.0 and 8.1.0 and 9.0.0 (not one, but all).

So even after 9.0.0 is ready I will still need also 7.1.0 and having a more recent official build would be better.

What I have found (the reason for removal) is this:

The FM radio is working, but Spirit2 expects the kernel module Si4709_driver.ko in /system/lib/modules. Because of Oreo it is moved to /vendor/lib/modules. So if you copy the file manually back to /system/lib/modules, Spirit2 should run.

Everything should be as before but sdcard0 and data should share the sane partition (as I understand it). So the problem of a full data partition while lot of space left in sdcard0 and vice versa should not occur anymore.

Hi,

on every reboot my WIFI data settings get restored to what was long time ago. The password of my own access point is wiped and instead I get automatically logged into the network of a neighbor who once kindly passed me her password. I always have to delete my neighbor's SSID from the network list, then select mine and enter my password. It's a long and complicated password so it's really bothering.

Whatapp Restore is not working?!

Hi,

I installed Metalor's lineage-14.1-20190308-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip with Gapps pico. Working fine on my Galaxy S2. Well, nearly fine:

Whatsapp restore found my Backup, but restore does not come to end.

It is a known problem? Solution?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
I have this problem also. My workaround was to kill the hanging process and restart whatsapp. It will continue restoring, but not always. Clear data of WhatsApp and repeat this if it doesn't restore.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SethGeckoXDA:
Do you have any local backups saved?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anacronataff:
Yes, I have local backup (msgstore.db.crypt12) and my old Galaxy S2 (NeatROM 6.4 Android 4.1.2) is still working (Of course Whatsapp is not activ any more.).

I tied to copy msgstore.db.crypt12 to my new Galaxy S2 (LOS 14.1 Android 7.1.2), but msgstore.db.crypt12-Whatsapp restore did not come to an end, too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nobby1960:
Deinstall WhatsApp and reinstall it. Don't start the app! Go to settings/apps and give WhatsApp the following permissions:

Camera, contacts, microphone, space and phone. Now start the WhatsApp setup, the restore should start now after identification process. I know this issue. Sometimes it helps if you reboot the phone after you reinstall WhatsApp, but my first suggestion always works for me. However, the backup must be ok, that's important.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anacronataff:
I also tried: https://xdaforums.com/general/general/whatsapp-restore-encrypted-backup-t3462246 but it failt too.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Did you this with google drive backup or with local backup?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nobby1960:
With both - if you have a working local backup, WhatsApp will first take this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SethGeckoXDA:
Open the Whatsapp folder and look for other local backups. Either delete them or (better) move them to your PC and make sure your msgstore.db.crypt12 is the only local backup on your phone now. Whatsapp seemingly has issues with too many local backups being present.

On a side note: I've been using LOS 16.0 for a long time now, it has become very stable. I recommend upgrading your phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andreoide:
I agree upgrading should be o.k.

In addition to that in terms of backup I suggest root by magisk and the best there is: Titanium backup.

It saved my @$$ many times!
