Eli,
I've been using the v8st for over 20 days now and have not come across such an issue.
But I have a different issue though:
The bluetooth mic levels when connected to the car's audio system renders very low voice that the person on the other end can't hear me so good.
Hope someone with a similar issue like yours' should be able to help you soon!

Hi
Even by doing as per Post# 4, Wallpaper gets replaced but does not work.
Going by wallpaper details found MD5 error.
Few more issues on my device, new to this ROM. Flashed 2 days back.
1. How to increase the FONT & ICON size in Status bar, Key board letters are too small, notifications are small.
2. Screen and around the camera gets heated, during this time battery drains super fast.
3. BBS is not working, error message "Battery service could not be contacted"
Please help me with the above issues.
Thanks in advance

What post #4 are you talking about? What does not work? What gives you an MD5-error. Please be more specific.

You need to change the display density setting. Open the file /system/build.prop with a text editor and search for the line ro.sf.lcd_density=182. Change the value to something else. Bigger numbers give you bigger icons and fonts. The Default for SGS2 Roms is normally 240, Neatrom uses 182, that's why everything is smaller than on most roms. If you want to use 240, you can also flash this ZIP in Recovery: View attachment Density_240_v8.0st.zip. It's just a modified build.prop for 8.0st. There are also apps on the PlayStore that can change the density for you, but I never tried them.

Without more info it's impossibe to know what is draining your battery. You need to find out the app that gives you trouble with BBS or similar app.

In Android KitKat, user apps are not allowed to access battery stats. It's part of Androids security policy. There's two ways to fix it:
Get Xposed Installer and install the Xposed Framework. Then, download the module Enable BatteryStats Permission - voila! Since Xposed is simply awesome for other tasks as well, I recommend this method.
If for some reason you don't want to use Xposed (e.g. if you use ART), then you have to convert BBS to a system app. There's several ways to do so, like Titanium Backup or Link2SD... However make sure that BBS gets installed in /system/priv-app/, and not in /system/app/, or else it will still not get the necessary rights.
Hi is there a way to reboot into recovery except from the home + volume + wake and also which Version of Apolo is the right one 7.1 CM?
Battery life?
Hi guys, was checking this rom out and it looks awesome!
How's the battery life though?
I'm currently on Resurrection Remix and the battery life when I have wifi on is really poor.
I'm basically looking for a 4.4.4 rom that gives maximum battery life.
Also are there any kernel recommendations?
Thanks!
Weird battery behaviour
Hello Guys. I met a very strange issue.
After flashed the ROM, the battery indicator acts very weird.
When the phone is fully charged, and I remove the charger. after reached 85%, and when the battery is gong down, the indicator is going up from 85% to 90 %.
Anybody met this ? and how to resolve ?
I already calibrated the battery, but the problem still on.

Try another batterry. I was facing the problem with an almost dead battery. With another one it's fixed.

I'm running this with Apolo V0 kernel and I'm satisfied (on original Samsung 2000 mAh battery):
~33% a day of normal usage
~1% an hour idle (data on, sync on, location on)
~0.3% an hour night mode (data off, sync off, phone online) - translates to ~14 days of runtime
Have tweaked wakelocks/services.

1. You can configure advanced power options to be able to reboot into recovery from a running ROM
2. Yes CM is the right Apolo for NeatROM (having superuser integrated)
Having troubles with wifi connection since this morning... My S3 and laptop works just fine but with s2 cant connect to apps like viber, whatsapp or hayday

I had the same problem of battery drain because of mediascanner service running all the time and i didnt know the exact fix but i have read somewhere that formatting sd card would help fix this and it did, Anyway i didnt use much of my extSD so i removed it for now!! And no battery drain observed with mediascanner service
I can't get this to run on my phone. After carefully following the instructions my phone is stuck on the first boot screen with the yellow exclamation mark. Strangely it seems like I have TWRP installed which I can't get rid of. Even after installing the CWM linked to, the next time I manually enter recovery TWRP opens.
Update: Sucessfully installed a Cyanogen based ROM instead. Shame, I would have liked to try this one.
GAPPS not working?
Hi there, please help me. I can't get gapps to work/install. I first flashed beta version...nothing, then tried the stable version and only Chrome appeared in appdrawer. I still can't access play store (from the Nova Launcher menu option), the browser that came with the NeatRom doesn't start.
The rooting, flashing of the rROM etc all went well, according to the instructions, the only thing was that I couldn't format /preload as there was no such option in the CWM recovery. Could that be the problem maybe?
Please tell me, what am I missing here...

No, Preload is not used in AOPS Roms, only at Sammy ROMs.
maybe your download of GAPPS or ROM is corrupted, check the MD5 file to see if there is any thing wroing.
Clear Cache from Recovery
Try to reboot
Try to re-install.
Somtimes something goes wrong and then you have effects as you mentioned.

Sorry, but I gave up over AOSP and flashed the "stock" NeatRom 6.4 w/o any problems. Runs great!
Still, when I was searching for a solution, I found out, that it is possible that I didn't make a nandroid backup of /preload (when I was still on rooted stock samsung ROM - before flashing kitkat cwm and later AOSP NeatRom). I read that in the CWM recovery that comes with Siyah kernel - which I used to make a nandroid backup - you have to manually select to make a backup of the /preload part. in addition to all others... And i really didn't find a file with "preload" in the nandroid backup folder that I copied to my PC. If so, I am suppose to have trouble when/if going back to stock samsung ROM? If that is the case, maybe it would be good to update the guide for flashing the KitKat-based AOSP NeatRom. I don't really care right now, because I really like the stock NeatRom...I just hope it'll work...
NeatRom 8.0st and TWRP - no restore possible
Hi all,
hope, one of you will be able to support me ?
I'm not able to restore any of my TWRP backups done with TWRP 2.7.1.0 which came with the ROM.
All backups went well and were flagged as 'successfully'.
However, trying to restore one of them failes every time. It looks like after restoring SYSTEM and starting with DATA, it stucks.
One 'failed', no error code or any additional information.
I've a 32 GB SD installed on my i9100 and this is where I store all the TWRP backups.
Copying them to internal storage does not help.
Any ideas ?
Thx in advance,
BR,
This is a good room

NOTE:
This will be my last GB rom since sources for Galaxy S Advance has been released, I'll by making a JellyBean port of the SGSA to the Ace 2. Unless Sammy releases JB to our phone. I'm also going to buy Galaxy S Advance or the Galaxy S III mini(not available yet here in HK execpt the parallel ones and in expansys.com.hk) to replace my Ace 2.
Introduction:
First of all, I made this ROM specifically for the Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 with a baseband of ZSLG1/ZSLK2 which is from Hong Kong.
The reason I made this ROM started with a severe scrolling problem with all Galaxy Ace 2 here in Hong Kong installed with the I8160ZSLG1 firmware, scrolling continuously is not possible because as soon as you scroll while the menu list is still moving or scrolling, touchscreen becomes unresponsive, unless you re touch the screen. this ROM has no BusyBox installed, its just a stock ROM with same UI, same funtionality
UPDATE V3:
Sorry for the late responses. I've been busy working here in my company. Anyway, this will be my last GB rom since sources for Galaxy S Advance has been released, I'll by making a JellyBean port of the SGSA to the Ace 2.
Original Stock ROM I8160ZSLK2(Hong Kong)

-multi tap alphanumeric keypad bug fixed
-scrolling bug fixed
-STOCK UI(Same functions, same look and feel)
-Zipaligned APK's before packing
-Deodexed
-Rooted
-disabled ScrollingCache for smooth scrolling(modified framework.jar, not a build.prop tweak)

NOTE:
It is recommended to flash the kernel from the link provided above.
Installing instructions:

NOTE:
-Kies over Wifi is removed, clicking on it from the menu will force close the settings application.
-Don't attempt to flash this ROM to a different baseband, your phone will still work but you will not have a GSM/3G/Network signal.
WARNING APPLIES ONLY TO V1 and V2:
WARNING: BusyBox is partially supported using the busybox installer, however, there are many chances that it will make your device bootloop.

sorry, dumb question again.
in cwm menu, i don't see option to unmount volume, so how could i do that??
edit: found it in "mount and storage", sorry.
Everything seems running just fine, but the battery graph seems broken (gaps in between) in battery status??
---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------
and the chinese character in your rom is simplied chinese (GB) while i use tradional chinese (BIG5).
Could you list the files responsible for those tradional chinese chars and i put it back to system via sort of root explorer??
Thank you.
How do we flash the stock rom back ? Do i need to wipe cache again and stuff?
And what do i choose in odin? cuz the file is just one.. and it asks for bootloader and etc?

The stock rom provided here is for flashing with odin (select "pda" in odin, and select the .tar file)
I'm not sure if it is needed for odin, but if you flash rom with clockwork mod, then wipe /data, /system, and /cache is a must. just as the instruction stated, wipe these 3 partitions, then format it and umount them.

In odin, select pda and then select the .tar file you downloaded. DO NOT touch anything else. then click start.

doesn't seem to have the battery problem on me though, take a look at the screenshot, for the languages, sorry I think its from the CSC files, you can try flashing a CSC provided on my original ROM, but I don't know what effect does it have when flashed, I didn't add any language since I don't read chinese, thou I live here in Hong Kong
anyway, I'll try extracting the language traditional chinese and will make a CWM flashable file.
Anyway, the reason why I have low battery life is I use
CPU Governor: performance(only at 800Mhz - no deep sleep, no downclock, CPU always at 800Mhz full speed)
I/O Scheduler: noop
results? no lags in UI or browser. but battery last only 1 day, than 2days using default CPU settings.

Yea, i think the gap is actually the period of hard reboot, so its a false alarm The graph is ok without reboot.
regarding cwm flashable langauge file, i dont need to wipe data/ factory reset for that i assume?
Thank you.

And by the way, the phone number(caller id??) format is now showing XXX-XXX-XX, can i edit it to show XXXX-XXXX or XXXX XXXX ??

no need to wipe, just flash the CWM zip file, the caller ID is a feature of the Indonesian firmware, so we either have to edit some framework or apk's which will take sometime

Have you ever used multimount sd app on rooited ace2?? this little app works fine on my old rooted HTC wildfire but not on ace2.

App Downloading Problem
Hi
Great rom. Quite stable and scrolling works properly now as advertised (I actually thought the broken scrolling was an intentional design and not a bug, but its back to normal now thanks to the rom)
I do have 3 questions / problems though.
1. Not sure if anyone else has this problem, but after flashing, I am unable to install any apps from the google market when on wifi. I can browse the market and websites easily, but the downloading bar never initiates. Once I switch to 3g, the app starts downloading. Before I flashed this rom, wifi downloading of apps from google play worked on the same network.
2. When I enter recovery mode (volume up + home + power) my recovery mode is "Android Recovery 3e" not CWM recovery. As such, I only have the options to flash a .zip or wipe data / cache. Is this normal. I tried flashing Antsm's update_su and it remains android recovery.
3. This is minor. But when I try and use LMT launcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150) with the pie buttons, only the home button works. The other buttons do not. They worked fine before I flashed this mod. Not sure if anyone else has tried LMT with this rom?
4. Will kernels or roms based off of other firmwares work with our HK baseband and still have working scrolling on 3g/phone?
Thx alot for your support for the HK firmware

ANSWERS:
To 1: I to, experiences that problem, still fixing it
To 2: You didn't flash the kernel properly, try flashing a custom kernel again.
To 3: Don't know what launcher is that.
To 4: Yes it will, we only need to copy a some specific files for 3G/GSM/Network to work.

In that case, I'll wait for that wifi fix. Will keep using the this rom in the meantime.
I'll wry about cwm next time I need to flash.
And the launcher problem started working but itself. Don't think it's a rom problem. Thx again!

Just a noob sharing some thoughts, hope it can help some other noobs like me.
A no wipe in my book:
Here is how i do a no wipe.
In recovery, mount and storage and choose format system.
Go back and wipe Cache and Dalvik
Install / flash the rom.
A full wipe in my book:
Into recovery, mount and storage and format system, data and cache.
Go back, wipe/ reset data, cache and dalvik.
Install/flash rom
Format of the internal SD:
Here is what i do:
Make a app backup with TB to my external sd
Make a nandroid to my external sd
Make sure i also have a efs backup on my external sd
I only save mods, roms on my internal sd in my download map and this map i move to my external sd.
Then i reboot to recovery.
Mount and storage and format internal sd.
And to be save and have it nice a clean, also format system, data and cache and because i am not only a flashohalic but also a cleanohalic, i then wipe/reset factory reset, cache and dalvik.
Probably a big overkill, but he, done it several times it works for my and it only cause a few seconds.
Then i reboot, skip the setup/registration, move my download map back to my internal sd (don't like flashing from external sd).
Back in cwm, again a full wipe which includes the formats data, system and cache.
Then flash the rom and setting it up.
This way, you have a nice clean fresh S3, but and this is a big BUT.
Backup, backup backup and don't forget a efs backup to your external sd and pc.
Don't think lightly about those backups, when imei is broken and you don't have a backup, your a done, only thing left is a visit to Samsung.
Good luck when you are going for it.
And i know, Aroma installer is also doing some automatic wiping, but i am just a bit old fashion and like to do some stuff manually.
Bootloader.
As you all know, the new bootloader can be a pain in the ass.
But, i am still not sure that Samsung only released the new bootloader just to discourages us to flash custom stuff.
So, if you like flashing stuff and you are on the new bootloader like me, just remember when you entered recovery and you are done flashing stuff, use Triangle Away from Chainfire,
But, for some, like on my wifes phone, the latest version works without problem, but on my S3, i need to use the older version, 2.37, why, don't have a glue.
Not all S3 are the same, although have the same name and using the same chipsets.
But you can also use the old bootloaders, with does, you just have to run Triangle Away just once, when entering recovery, it will not count.
Your own choose.
About Sudden Death.
A lot of threads are open for this.
My 5 cents:
I have the "sudden Death" chips VTU00M chip with 0xf1 on both our phones.
Mine is running since 27 may 2012 without problems, still fast and smooth.
The other is up and running since 31 Augustus 2012 and also still fast and smooth.
Both have been rooted from day one, the only thing i do, is turning the devices off completely for a few minutes 4 to 5 times a week.
Old habit to clear memory, anyway, gives me time to do a good cleaning of my screen.
Here is the code to check your revision and to see from which day you are running your S3 *#12580*369#
Further more, AndreiLux found i string in the ELLA kernels released by Samsung that looks like that it solves the sudden death issue.
So, if indeed if fixes this issue, then off course the latest kernels releases from Sammy has also the fix and not just the custom kernels.
As far as i know, all the custom kernels has the fixes integrated this string by now, but i myself like the stock kernels, Indie puts in the Omega Roms.
Phil3759 has also made a repack of recovery based on CWM touch 6.0.2.7 to get it all safe.
More to come in the future, because i am learning everyday here on XDA and like to share and help others.
Edit, here is quote from AndreiLux about the new bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37163086&postcount=1298
Do I need any particular Bootloader? No - There is no evidence to suggest this fixes anything
Apparently that's wrong, download mode on the device uses a microkernel from inside the bootloader instead of the full blown Linux kernel. When flashing something via Odin in download mode you'd be using the bootloader's MMC driver and thus be at risk.
All-day users are still safe via recovery and live kernel, but are not advised to flash things in download mode with an older bootloader. This also explains why they updated the bootloader in LLA. The security checks are a mere update to bring it up with what the 9305 and Note 2 users already have in terms of not able to get rid of the exclamation mark.
Personal note:
Maybe i am seeing this wrong, to much thinking in terms of home computers, but here is some thoughts regarding above.
From cold, turned off device,.
Turning the device on, micro kernel inside the bootloader kicks in to send information how to start the device correctly.
If it works this way and you are on the old bootloader, then every time you start the device with the old bootloader, you are at risk?

Here i will post stuff that comes along the road like question about batterystats at recovery.
We used to have a option to wipe the battery stats at recovery, also there are some tools at Play store that claims to give a better battery life by just wiping those stats.
But after reading this excellent article, it comes clear that wiping those stats are bull.
So i am glad that option isn't available anymore and perhaps in time, the questions about those stats will faint away in oblivion
And another one i like to share.
Fast Dormancy.
Here is a great article about it, made by Erica.
For me, my provider is saying it's not supporting FD, but when use the method to check, it is supported.
So i tested it for a few days on and off and found that when it's off, i do get some better battery life, but it's just minor.
Instead of losing 5% battery at 8 hours standby, i lost 6%.
Also, i didn't see any benefits in speeds, so i turn it off every time after a flash of a new rom using gokhanmoral tool.
Another thing i like to add.
Wifi.
I have seen many posts about wifi problems.
Here what always works for me.
Sometimes just a reboot of the router will help.
Also, i find changing from dynamic (default) to static that my connection is faster connecting to my router (always use the never setting at wifi advanced to save battery).
Here is how to do it the easy way.
First set it up using it with the default dynamic settings, this way all will be filled in for you.
To change it to static.
Long press your connection and choose modify network config and check show advanced options.
Scroll down a bit and tap on IP settings and choose Static.
And that is all, now you have changed it to static and there is no more need for ip adress to negotiation any more.
https://www.google.nl/search?q=wifi...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Also if still having problems, adding some more permissions can solve it.
I use root explorer for this
ETC > Long press wifi folder and choose permissions (remember to change Mount R/W to Mount R/O) and check all nine boxes.
Hit back and go to Data > Misc and again long press wifi folder and again, check all nine boxes.
Space
I know, i am a control freak and i hate it when i see space just vanish.
So did some search and found a thumbnail map with more then 1gb size.
Looked at some submaps and i only saw some old stuff.
So, selected all the submaps and just deleted it without problems and gain more then a gb free space.
Here is where you can find it using root explorer:
storage > sdcard0 > .thumbnails.
Edit:
As bigmo7 pointed out, the thumbnails will be rebuild, but off course not off stuff that isn't present on the S3 anymore.
So, if you are someone that is just making pictures or making / creating movies and never delete then from your S3, there is no point off deleting the thumbnails.
But if you like me, moving, creating copying and deleting this kind off stuff, then you can gain space.
Battery life
Always a hot item.
First all, the S3 is a mini computer and computers need juice, just remember this.
Here are some stuff i always do after flashing a new rom.
If the rom comes with a aroma installer which let you select stuff to install or not install, look careful to the list.
Stuff you don't use, can just eat resources and i myself, just find it a waste.
Next, after flashing and setting up the new rom, you will be presented with the option to use wifi.
I always go to advanced when making a wifi connection to choose Never when phone is in standby.
For me, but this can be different for you, wifi is a bit off a drainer so do some testing, let it run overnight with Always selected and another night with Never and see the difference.
Next you will be present if you want to restore and let google backup your phone.
I always deselect backup my phone, first reason, i am a control freak and i decide when and what i want to backup.
And second it can give you wakelocks and this will cost you battery life.
Next step i do is going into settings and to sounds, i don't like the clicking sounds and i deselect all the system sounds.
Next, location services and deselect GPS and Location and Google search.
I want GPS active only when i need it, some apps like Facebook will activate GPS when running and i don't like this.
And i don't want Google to know where i am all the time.
Some weather apps needs Location and Google search to determine your location, but i use Weather pro and it don't need it.
Next step is going into accounts and look what you have selected for syncing.
I always deselect Google photos, Internet and Picasa web albums.
Stuff i don't need .
Location settings at accounts is also off.
Next step is using the Fast Dormancy toggle to disable Fast Dormancy, although my provider is supporting it, enabled costs me a little more juice. Although it's minor, but a lot off minors things makes it bigger .
Then starting Playstore and at settings, deselect Notifications.
And finally freeze stuff i don't use with Titanium Backup pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31576747&postcount=105
All this, is giving me a great battery life, with screen on time between 4 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours, depends what i am doing.
And with the latest JB roms, 1 to 2% battery los in 7 hours standby.
No need for me to toggle Airplane mode, mobiledata or some other powersaving setting or app.
I am also always running the stock insecure kernel that comes with the rom, for me no need for a custom one.

Hello, when we flash a rom that already has mods ... do you know a way to save them ? (where to find them)
I mean. For example, my rom has a mod (and theme) on the toggles (pandoriam i9305). How can I save that mod ? Do you know a good tutorial to learn (safe) modding ?

I never save mods because most of the time when flashing a new rom, it's based on a new build and not every time mods are compatible, just like some themes by the way.
I just safe the mod files and thems, when i am sure they are compatible, i just flash them again.
Indie's Omega roms has already a lot of mods in it by default by the way, but i don't think he was for a 9305.
Good work Kees! Now I'm learning from you.

i always feel like a noob when ever i read here
big big thanks my friend for pointing out all this so nicely
Very nice posts KeesStolk. Maybe you should write a manual for us?
I'm about to post this in Q&A (searching for an answer brought me here )
I just (3 days ago) upgraded my Omega ROM to v40. All seemed fine - I did as normal but in v35, my last Omega there wasn't a Full Wipe option. I chose not to wipe and everything went as per usual with Omega. I reinstalled my extras (6 x 5 icons, Loud phone hack, Increasing ring phone, Note2 Keybd) and was back to normal.
Except, now my apps will not update.
I found out the hard way. I had a problem with Play Store - open it and it would flash briefly then close. Tried all I knew of but nothing worked so, logic said, Omega v40 is different enough I need a wipe and that why they put it in there as a choice this time. (I checked the Omega thread and couldn't see anything relevant but I was in the pub at the time and may not have been as thorough as I should have been)
I had a TB backup and Nandroid on my ExtSD from 2 days back and an EFS so I ran the install again and chose Full Wipe - again everything went well... until I tried to download TB so I could restore all my apps and data. Play Store opened and stayed Open (yaaaay!) and TB acts like it is downloading but nothing comes through - it just sits until it times out on an error.
I tried several apps and none would DL but then AuWeather DL'd just fine. I went back to TB - no go.
After much frustration I Restored my Nandroid and got back to where I was (Omega v35) but still I can't DL and update for TB. At least Play Store stays open though. I tried running the v40 update again, installing the Default, just in case, (& I have just finished DL'ing v41) but the DL/Update problem persists.
I'm now on:
AP – I9300XXEMA2
CP – I9300BUELK1
CSC – I9300LBEMA1
RF cal – 2012.6.28
HW Rev – MP 1.100
Any ideas? If I can't DL TB once I have flashed, I can't get my data back so a wipe isn't really an option until I fix the DL issues.
As I said, this will also be in Q&A but you seem to have a good grasp on the basics so I thought maybe...? :fingers-crossed:
So... I tried restoring back to v35 and got the same problem. And yet that version has been running since v35 came out, at least a couple of months. So I did it again but this time used the Android Revolution Wipe zip, then a straight install of v35. I could then load TB from Play Store and restore my apps and data. Phone seems back to normal now although I have lost some logs data from the couple of days between my backup and now - no biggie... I also now can update my apps.
So it seems it is something to do with Omega v40.
I've just DL'd v41 so will give that a try. Any help with what might have gone wrong would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your kind words, just sharing what i know and hoping this info can help others.
And how is it with v41?
Did you tried it with wifi and 3g, any difference?
Also tried removing your google account, reboot and setting it up again?
Hi kees !
Nice idea you've got with this thread but ... I hope it won't turn into another omega q&a thread . I would like to direct people here but it will be quite difficult if they will see Omega issues all over. Please point them out to the correct thread as you already posted the link to it. Just a thought , correct me if I'm wrong
Thanx !

absolutely !!!
everyone`s choice ! but people must follow proper threads , i`ve got nothing against a certain rom but against disarray when users post or open endless threads about same thing .
some users hates me for this , i know it well , in my thread i always pointed out but somehow is unfair to maintain same topic on more threads .
that`s a bad habit for new users and not only for the rule`s sake but this is the way should be in a human community .

i was thinking as well to open a thread as yours but due to lack of time i didn`t. as soon as i`ll find interesting things i`ll let you know .
i myself am a NOOB !

Hey,
Ive had an S2 for a little while now. I have rooted and flashed several different roms and tried everything from changing settings to flashing stock firmware and wiping the handset to try and get rid of this problem..
Currently on:
4.1.2 JZO54K.I9100XWLSD
siyah-s2-v6.0b4+
BetterBatteryStats shows:
0% Deep Sleep
~40% suspend_backoff
~20% l2_hsic
~20% sec-battery-monitor
(and some other tiny, irrelevant wakelocks)
I have been trying to go through dmesg but I have no idea how to read it properly and I havn't been able to find much info on the subject.
I would be grateful if someone could have a quick look to see if they can identify a problem.
DMESG: attached
..from what I can tell, my cpu1 is constantly turning off and on.
Any ideas anyone? :crying:
1st way, pull out the battery and wait for 1 min, Then put it back. If it does not work, try the second method.
Wipe everything, data, cache, format system and flash a stock-like rom like Omega v23. I suggest you to backup everything on your phone and format your external and internal sd's with recovery. Your faulty musics can even cause media server to work all the time.

Just recently I have tried wiping everything and flashed the official stock rom for my network from samfirmware, would Omega v23 make any difference?
I removed the external sd card..
I have tried formatting internal sd card in recovery, getting mounting errors followed by "skipping format", also tried formatting in plain old settings->storage, which doesn't seem to remove any data.
* I have manually deleted everything from internal sdcard.

I have tried various roms/kernels, stock and custom, so I don't believe thats the problem.
I think your problem is about hardware, but how can you explain this to the warratry.
--Hi, my phone does not go to deep sleep.
--Sammy-- What??
I hope, if you have warranty, you will be able to explain your problem.

Haha.. They would give me sleeping pills.
I'm beginning to think this is a hardware problem, but the handset functions perfectly except the no sleep (resulting in poor battery life).
I do not have a warranty on this one so i'm hoping that if it is a hardware problem I can achieve some kind of work-around.

Please attach the full text log of BBS, it could help .
Can't be hardware, it must be a kernel thing.
I guess you tried em all already, so, as it is weird, you can easily contact samsung and ask them if it could blow off at any time soon
With the s4 coming out they won't like S2 blowing up in people's pockets all of a sudden.

Kernel wakelock suspend_backoff: could be from apps and/or services running in the background, like FB etc. Try using TB to freeze apps (and services!) and see if things are getting better.
Kernel wakelock sec-battery-monitor: do you use a battery monitoring app? I sometimes use Battery Monitor Widget to monitor the battery. This app can run as service in the background when closed, hence I have to disable background logging before I close the app. If I miss to disable it I will have those sec-battery-monitor wakelocks too.
Q&A for [ROM][KITKAT] Unofficial CyanogenMod 11 for Galaxy Express 2
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
thank you The Whisp
Thanks for the Q&A tab.
I have one question, can anyone please confirm if the light sensor is working? The proximity works just fine but the light sensor doesn't. I would like to know if this is a problem of my device only or from the rom.
If you don't know there is a great light app to test in the playstore. Sensor Test
Please can anyone confirm before i open a thread in github, thanks
I have one question that is making me a bit confused.. So i'm using TheWhisp build for some time now and that sure means that i have my device rooted. Every time that i install and open an app that need root permission i'm prompted with the superuser permission setting. So i'm deffenetly sure that my device is rooted and that my device does have supersu / superuser.
What i don't know is.. which one is it? Supersu by Chanfire (that i suspect because i used his auto-root method) or if the device has superuser. I don't find the app anywhere and it isn't hidden nor protected.
Why am i asking this? Because while browsing a bit in the xda forum i found out that chainfire update his app giving adding more protection. Now.. i don't know if i can install the superSu from the playstore or if i need to.
Sorry for all the questions but..the more i read about android the more i found that i know nothing. thank you.

Did you enable developer options in setting about phone?
In the Settings app, select About Phone.
Scroll down, and tap the Build number entry seven times. On the seventh tap, you will be notified that "You are now a developer".
You can also flash supersu from cwm or philz recovery or install it on playstore.
After you can Go into SuperSU > Settings > Make sure "Respect CM root settings" is unchecked.

thank you very much for such a detailed explanation averelstone! had no idea about these hidden menus..
One last question, the new option in the setting is called Superuser, does this mean that the app is superuser? (confront with supersu from CF) I cannot find any information about it in the settings, since there is no "about"
Thank you in advance for your time to explain me this stuff. cheers

You're welcome Shinra00, Superuser is integrated into CyanogenMod 11, you can manage your rooted apps into it.

I don't know much about superuser i use supersu for my apps.
Encryption problem
First of all, hello and thanks for an awesome rom for my Galaxy Express 2!
I've been using this rom for a good three months and it works flawlessly. The problem i have is that i have encrypted my phone, and now when i tried rebooting it it says the password is wrong. I am 300% sure that i am typing the correct password. I have tried restoring to factory setting and reflashing the rom with no success. I still get asked for the password. Also, when i reset to factory settings it says "Error mounting /data!". What can i do ? Is my phone rendered useless ?

Hello,
you can try to format data from CWM , it's in mount and storage, it will remove encryption.
The problem is CWM does not support reading encrypted partitions.
You can use ADB but the more simple is to use odin and back to stock ROM and reflash CM.

Hey how's it going?
One question, how do you guys perform the change of rom? Full wipe and clean install of rom or is it possible to just flash the zip on top of the previous rom?
I'm asking this because I'm having problems since the previous 2 builds to restore everything with titanium backup. If i do the batch restore of all missing apps + sistem when i restart i get stuck at the boot.
And as you know to configure every app and setting is really troublesome..
How are you updating every build? I would appreciate if you can tell me your method.
Thank you

Hi shinra00,
I always flash on top of previous version but if i have issue i do a full wipe ( factory reset, format data) and restore my app with TB.
with same android version you can flash on top safely most of time, depend of people, few prefer perform a full wipe, other dirty flash
About your TB error it's strange, i never have issue when i restore my app.

I´ve got one more though.. the other day i discovered the power of MHL - HDMI-out and i got fascinated to find that i could go to anywhere without a pc and display movies on any tv that has hdmi.
On samsung official website with all the specs, the connectivity specs shows micro-usb 2. On other sites it shows micro-usb 2 (MHL).
4 days ago i was on a tech store and tried a mhl adapter without any success. The person that was helping me said that there could be 2 causes, lack of mhl hardware support or lack of mhl coding in the cm11 rom (yup he knew what cm11 was). After a litle browse online i found out that in fact can be a lack of code in the rom as it happened for galaxy 2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000135)
So has anyone tried mhl -hdmi-out with this device? Can anyone confirm me if it has hardware compatibility?
Thank you very much

Thank you for the reply averstone
I´ve got one more though.. the other day i discovered the power of MHL - HDMI-out and i got fascinated to find that i could go to anywhere without a pc and display movies on any tv that has hdmi.
On samsung official website with all the specs, the connectivity specs shows micro-usb 2. On other sites it shows micro-usb 2 (MHL).

I did not know we can use micro-usb for HDMI, you can try to grab a logcat when you connect adapter and report error and ask to TheWhisp.
Maybe someone with adapter could try on stock, i don't have adapter myself and have no plan to buy it for the moment but thanks you for sharing this.
Express 2 cm rom
Hi , the build is pretty stable and really smooth. Got no bugs so far , BUT , the big but is the battery life. It dropped at about 60% of the life on the official 4.4.2. Any suggestions?

Hello,
i don't have this battery issue, try to calibrate battery, there is many tutorial on xda. You can install some good apps like greenify, BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, Amplify, for manage battery and wakelocks.

This build is great! Thank you!
I have downloaded this package through official CWM recovery, with full wipe.
Camera and sensors working perfect.
Wifi Tether really is not working.
Meh... almost forgot one more bug, CM Filemanager can not get root acces. But at the same time Terminal and RootExplorer working fine with it.
The best Lollipop experience! Thanks a lot! Do any of you guys have a problem with the audio fx app. I can activate the equalizer button but it doesn't do anything, and I can't change anything from the bottom settings as well. Any advice or tips are welcomed. Thanks!
Flashed the zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-cm-dspmanager-universal-zip-t2939933 app is working but system sound is all messed up. It's good that I made a backup.

Init.d is not working
Hi guys!
Today i found a new bug in this rom.
Init.d is not working. None of the scripts in this folder does not work.
Can you fix it, please?
GApps question
This is working really well so far, but I'm having a ton of trouble getting a Google apps package to actually work with this ROM. Any suggestions? The one originally suggested in the OP does weird things to the ROM.
NEVERMIND. Fixed by flashing using CWM instead of TWRP. For some reason that fixed things immediately.
Ya its working great but couldnt find the right gapp package
I tried to flash this rom. Something went wrong and my fone doesn't start now. How to revert back to my old rom.
I was using G3 Kitkat PORT rom. I downloaded the cm12 rom from the first post. I installed TWRP using Rashr app. I rebooted into TWRP recovery installed this rom. I got some error like "can not read seLinux context " and Flash failed. Now the system doesn't reboot at all.
I have nandroid backup taken using Phils recovery. How can I revert back to it? Please advise.

Multiple issues with this ROM
Hi all!
Firstly, for those experiencing issues flashing gapps, you need to have a version of TWRP that is SELinux compatible. I used 2.8.3.0.
As for the issues I've encountered:
Phone will fail to wake from sleep but will have capacitive buttons lit (I'll wait until this happens again to try to get some meaningful log data)
MMS DOES NOT WORK and in general BREAKS SMS. I'm using Messenger as my sms app, and the JB radio. I have also tried this with Textra and Messaging with similar results.
The camera will cause the system to hard reset. I've noticed this in Snapchat, but not in google's Camera app.
Panaroma and Photo Sphere do not work. No imagery from the camera makes it to the screen. There is only a black rectangle where the imagery should be.
Casting the screen DOES NOT WORK. No chromecasts can be found, though the chromecast app and other enabled apps find and use them just fine.
You must continually remove apps from the recent apps list or else the system will...bog...down........severely.
issue
I have random system lag, it seem to use a lot of ram. I check with clean master, they show the used ram sometime reach 85%, that is strange because I dont open too man things, I only use whatsapp to send mess. I have to reboot to fix this. Switch to Candy5, mako base, and have no issue like this again.

Does anyone know why the heart rate apps that use the camera and flash aren't working? The camera works flawlessly for taking pictures but I can't get a heart rate reading with any app on the play store...
