[Completed] [PROBLEM] Samsung Galaxy S2 SlimRom 4.4.2 - XDA Assist

Hey everyone. So recently, I installed CM11 on my phone. Seeing that it had a lot of problems ( youtube, camera etc.) I decided to change it.
A similar rom was SlimRom. Everything went good, until I've hit some big problems( well not that big):
1)- Wireless and mobile data speed -
Here... well....(sigh). From 3mb/s download speed on my SGS2 I dropped down to... 100kb/s excellent connection? I mean that's ridiculous.
If there is any fix for this, or if anything is blocking my internet speed, I would like to know.
2) -Apk's were not installed cause of Nova launcher -(Solved)
Nova launcher seemed to not let my custom apks to be installed. This was solved by updating Nova Launcher to the most recent version and rebooting. Error message: This will erase Nova's desktop layout and replace it with the selected change. Are you sure? Cancel/OK
If you select OK, it will sent you to the home screen with apk installer being ignored. If you cancel, nothing happens.
3) -Pixelated youtube videos -(Solved)
The same problem like on Cyanogen. The fix for this is to install 4.4.3 gapps on your phone. I've did that, everything worked well.
4) -Random app crash- (Rare issue)
Every custom ROM has a problem, slimrom seemed to have less issue than other ROM's. Crashes occures when using Browser, but after installing CM Browser and Clean Master, it turned out pretty well.
I don't think I'm gonna change SlimKat unless it's going to appear more problems.

Nice report.
You should post it in the ROM thread: [ROM][4.4.2][01/04]SlimKat - I9100 [Build 4][WEEKLIES].
There are links at the top for "Reviews" and "Bug reports" ... that's the way you may help to improve the ROM

Thread closed and thank you.

[ROM] Double Headed Monster v1

I'm releasing and will be maintaining two roms.
Currently this rom should work with any of the custom kernels that are updated, eventually I will release my own kernel but I will not be messing with that until we get froyo. This has only been tested with the DI07 Kernel. You should have some variant based off the most recent update or this may not work.
Instructions
1. Back up your current setup
2. Download and place in the root of your sd card
3. Reboot to clockwork recovery
3a. Wipe Cache (Data / Factory reset should not be necessary but if you have issues go back and wipe both).
4. Flash zip
5. Reboot (Sleek download continue below, Base users are finished. Don't forget to set location preferences in settings > location.
Below steps only for Sleek users
6. Wait for reboot to finish, media search etc..
7. Log into google accounts let it sync
8. Open titanium backup > go to problems > click yes to install busy box
9. Enjoy. Customize as you like. In addition I open titanium and remove: SystemUpdates, all the tts items, voicedialer, voicesearch, setupwizard, task manager, twlauncher and adw launcher.
9a. I then Install startup manager (free on market) and stop all the random **** that isn't necessary from starting up. Namely: any user installed apps, alarm clock, calendar, calendarstorage, download manager, maps, myuploads, com.samsung.phone.info, settings, calendar voice dialer, wimaxrc, voicemail, titanium. Doing all this results in a lot of free memory on reboot!
234mb free ram on boot w/ above changes
A data wipe should not be necessary. If you encounter problems then you will need to full wipe and then reinstall the zip.
ROM Options
1. Base rom, including full touchwiz with all the goodies that come with that. Stock, deodexed and optimized.
2. Sleek and smooth, which is my actual daily rom since I hate Touchwiz, social networking junk and sprint crapware. I've added launcher pro, adw, fancywidget (htc clock w weather) and titanium backup.
Both roms are deodexed and optimized.
Current Bugs
WIFI / Bluetooth - Will cause radio to loop do not use until a fix is tracked down (I think i know what the issue is)
NO OTHER ISSUES
Future Updates
First priority is to get WIFI / Bluetooth fixed (I think I know the issue)
I will be changing the lock screen in a future update and offer different .zips and options for those of you in addition to some themes and graphical changes
I will be working on modifying and including the aosp calendar at some point. There is a bug with it currently and its not displaying properly on anything other than agenda mode so its not included right now.
I will ultimately offer a new kernel, for now all the kernels based off of DI07 should work fine. Including OC. In the interim I will package some of the more popular kernels with this rom for you to choose from but right now whatever kernel you were using will stay after flashing.
_____________________________________________
Download Link
Base - includes all Touchwiz elements just hotspot removed.
Link down until wifi fixed
________________________________________________
Sleek - Removes touchwiz, includes ADW and Launcher Pro, removes social networking crap, removes junk apks, adds fancywidget (HTC clock w/weather)
Link down until wifi fix uploaded
.
If you need to test any fixes let me know I am going to flash this right now and I'll report back.

Let me know if you have issues, the upload went pretty fast and that worries me a little
Got it loaded up. Is this just the andromeda v.1 rom? Thats what it says under firmware version. And when u say full touchwiz do u mean like other Galaxy S phones or just the same crap we already have?

Your kernel will stay with whatever you were using prior to flashing.
Its the epic's version of touchwiz. I doubt anyone is going to bother trying to port 3.0 when samsung is going to release it in a few weeks. So many people ask for the apks and such in a flashable zip so thats what base will provide except they have been dodexed and optimized.
Sleek has other changes and things removed. Base is just base.

Ok. Sounds good. Everything seems to be working well so far. it seems a bit snappier, i dunno, could just be me
Can I request not to use Megaupload? or any sites that have a 45 second waiting period?
I'll be uploading the wifi fix over the next hour or two depending on how the evil internet monster is on my upload. so if you want to wait that might not be a bad idea and save on the two downloads.
any updates on how this is performing? curious bc i was thinking about giving it a shot. I'm now flash happy.....just 3 or 4 days ago I went from no roms to at least having a couple to choose from

[ROM][AOKP]AOKP For Samsung Exhibit II 31 / 4.0.4

AOKP
For T-Mobile Samsung Exhibit II 4G
Android ICS 4.0.4 / Android Open Kang Project Build 31​
Issues:
Activity Not Responding / Blank Screen Issues - I'm not seeing this anymore I need confirmation that its gone to remove from list.
Possible/Rare Visual Distortions
Missing Official Team Kang LWP (Forgot to include in release)
Weather Settings in ROM Control FC's on first use (AOKP Bug)
Weather Auto Location Doesnt Work (AOKP Bug)
Spell Check/Autocorrect Issues (Minor)
Minimal GPS Issues (Minor)
Start-up Script init.d options don't apply/save and causes ROM Control to Freeze/Crash
I'm using Gerrit-style issue review meaning that if you're experiencing a new unlisted issue someone else needs to confirm that issue in order for it to be added to the list.
Downloads:
AOKP Build 31-2 Download
Google Apps 3.17.2012 Download
Ultimate Phone Guide - AOKP (WIP)
4.11.2012
- Initial Release
- Android 4.0.4 / AOKP 31
4.14.2012
- Build 31 Release 2
- Added Boot Animation to ROM
- Synced with AOKP Source
- Seems much more stable, no crashing apps. (Need Test Users to confirm this)
Release / Update News for 4.14.2012
For this update I've resynced for new commits from the AOKP repo. The new build doesn't seem to crash often like the first build. However AOKP doesn't seem to like live wallpapers. I've just noticed that if you select a live wallpaper it will freeze after a while then you try to change the wallpaper to anything else the background of the launcher will remain black. This can be fixed by restarting the phone. Or it could be something that needs more testing.
I've added in the official boot animation but it doesn't seem to fit the screen perfectly. There was a similar issue with the first MIUI build. I'm still testing to see how well GPS actually works.
So this update seems to be really fast. It doesn't seem to crash or slow down like the first build.
-See how different wallpapers behave.
-Check ROM Control options (I saw some issues with the Navigation Bar settings. I think its a Team Kang issue.)
-Stay clear of the Start-up Scripts options. It doesn't work for now.
Other than that the ROM should be much more stable and faster than the previous release. Try and give me as much feedback as possible.
Thanks
I only tried it out for a few minutes. There was no boot loop, and it seemed to run smoothly. Nice work.
Can someone put up screen shots and working and non working please?

Once I get to a desktop I'll upload some screenshots. Right now everything moves relatively smoothly but some bugs do exist. For example, spell check is not working right now and most words are considered mispelt. Also, the Play Store did not sync correctly and I had to download all apps manually rather than the automatic sync. Some usability bugs such as freezing screens do occur, but not enough to be a major nuisance. The special AOKP settings work fine. If you prefer the software buttons of the Galaxy Nexus they will work, although the action overflow button does not seem to show up in the bar and the physical menu button must be used. Backlighting on the keys works while the softkeys are enabled as well. I am yet to encounter any of the screen blowups Kemikal referred to in the OP. Benchmarks (for you benchmark nerds) will arrive with the screenshots.
Edit 1:Never mind about the later comments. Screenshots are attached.
Edit 2: Found the screen blowup in the battery portion of the settings. Music and mic are working.
Edit 3: Once the ROM seems to run for a couple hours without a boot or anything the system bogs down and system ui crashes occur at a relatively high frequency. Home screen redraws are more prevalent than Jocala's CM9 ROM.

I've noticed there is an issue with like a sleep of death where the screen stop working randomly except you can see what's on the screen during the CRT animation.
Gerrit style bug reporting. One person to report something another to review and confirm the issue. I didn't get much of a chance to test everything before I released it.
This is in Alpha stage so expect some bugs out of it. This is built from the same source as CM9 so in theory there should have been any other than a borked camera. Yet something must have messed up during the compile process and minor parts are broken. The touch drivers were half baked. I'm assuming from your reports that somethings also wrong with the dictionary files.
Some things haven't compiled properly and they cause issues.

Camera is bad from CM9 so its the same source so its broken here too. New thread so I haven't completed reviewing the bug list.
Also, The issue with your apps not auto-redownloading from the market is something I've seen on many different ROMs on many different devices. I have no idea what causes it. I believe its more of a universal issue for Google to address.
hmm this seems nice ill try it out
Thanks for working so hard for us in making this ROM. I think that if you can get everything working on this one, I might stray away from cm9. Big thank you to jocala as well.
Thus far, the main things that I have noticed issues with are as follows:
No notification for wifi networks,
Start up tweaks do not remain enabled,
Dictionary believes that no words except for a select few simple ones actually exist.
Automatic time zone thinks I am in the middle of the Pacific ocean instead of in Atlanta, GA.
There are some other assorted small things, but I'm more interested in helping you test out the major issues.
I have not yet tested the GPS. Work and sleep make spending the amount of time I want to on these things impossible. I hope that this info is helpful to you. And thanks again.

GPS seems to be a little inconsistent for me. When I first tried the GPS, I got an effective lock, but when I used it with Google Navigation later in the day, it didn't. Has anyone else had a GPS experience?

Yeah same here. First lock was set by GPS accurate to 20 meters. Second lock in different location was set by Network Triangulation, accurate to 40 meters. Maybe its just because I'm indoors. I'm expecting to release an update on Saturday. No word yet on what might be improved or fixed.

I had this same problem when flashing to a rom, and then going back to stock. I found this solution:
1) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>google services framework>clear data also go to >all>market>clear cache and force close finally to all>market>clear cache and clear data then Reboot phone
2) Open and sign out of GTalk, then re-open and sign in.
3) Open Market and accept agreement. Let it load your apps. Close Market.
4) Go to market.android.com and sign in. Go to My Market Account>Settings tab>Edit>Nickname your phone and click Update.
5) try Installing application from market.android.com

very good,great options in rom control.
i did have a glitch,and since you asked.....
whilst connected to wifi,and using opera mobile,and,big buttons keyboard,
i attempted to type in the embedded google search box.
this proceeded to cause opera to freeze.
whether opera,or,big buttons was the cause i can't say,but the rom did not seem to like this combo.
LOL I never thought my moms phone would be getting ICS I'll flash it on her phone in a bit!
I just flashed to this rom to try it out, runs great and has very cool controls. But I still prefer CM9 AOKP feels like a overly customizable launcher but still nice!

[ROM REVIEW]AOKP V9 Nightly By RHB ROMS Review.

Hey guys i have installed the AOKP v9 Nightly By RHB ROMS custom JB rom on my Gfit.I have reviewed the ROM here
AOKP V9 Nightly By RHB ROMS Review.(GALAXY FIT GT S 5670)
I have installed the custom Rom by RHB roms on my Galaxy Fit last week.I used a lot of apps and games on it and also tried different settings to suit my self.I found that this ROM is very stable considering the other Roms which hang and reboot my phone frequently.
The Rom gives the amazing Android 4.1.2 OS UI and feel.It has many pros and quite a few Bugs.
Some bugs can be over comed by using alternate apps but some are really irritating .
Read the full post to see what bugs are involved and how i tried to cure them.
Pros:
1)Lots of Android 4 apps work smoothly.
2)Stable-Does not hang frequently.
3)Gives lots of settings to suit your liking.
4)Changes your UI completely with amazing JB styled status bar and toggles.
5)new widgets that would not work on GINGERBREAD.
6)Comes with a Preinstalled Music player called Walkman.(preety good)
7)The old screenshot shortcut (HOME+POWER) does'nt work BUt downt worry they have provided and onscreen shortcut for taking screenshots of your phone
GO to settings>Rom Control>Power Menu and Enable the Show Screenshot option.Then long press power buton and select screen shot for taking picture of your current screen.
8)Cool power off animation.
Cons:
1)Major fault-GOOGLE apps not working .I tried to install the Playstore app.But i could'nt use it because it did not open up.I thought it might be a problem with the package so i tried downloading from a different place but still the same thing.The next thing i tried was to go to the Google play website and download from there directly,that too didnt work.
Alternative: I had to depend on the 3rd party websites like The 1Mobile Market.or the 4Shared app to download apps and games.
Another Google app that i installed is Google maps.That worked but it showed me somewhere in the Indian ocean while i was sitting cozily in my bedroom in India.
2)Camera app : The preinstalled camera app is faulty.The video mode is extremely slow.I tried to Use a different camera application like the Camera 360 but that turned out to be faulty troo.
Finally the Pro capture application worked properly for still photos.
I could not find an alternate app for Video recording.
3)INTERNET ON/OFF-I had problem in enabling the internet connection directly from toggle.Every time i have to go to the settings and enable the data.SOme times this too did not work.Them i have to go to the Mobile networks settings and try searching for network.
(NOTE:This may be my carrier problem.)
4)Some minor app crashes.
5)Does'nt come with the navigation bar if you dont have root access.
Overall i liked the Rom .If the developer colud eliminate the above bugs it would be absolutely perfect.
6)Gallery takes time to update if pics are copied from pc to SD card.
7)SOme apps take time to start.
_________________________________________________________________________
EDIT 22/3/2012:
I am experiencing frequent reboots since i installed the n7music player and also astro file manager takes time to load.Some apps take time to load.The Cut the rope game also crashes and runs very slow.
I think i have to try another ROM
________________________________________________________________________
I have covered all the details pros and bugs of the ROM in the review.PLease have a look and tell me if anyone of you have tried that ROM and found a solution to the bugs.
Thanks in Advance.:laugh:
So far , and for me,( this is a personal evaluation) the best JB experience its con cm10.1 of erikcas, still have some memory issues so demanding apps wont run as usual or fc, camera works fine and also link2sd so no space problem, and it have gapps preinstalled so dont wipe data after install.

Not bad
It worked pretty much fine for me other than the occasional reboot when i turn on/off my WiFi. Camera worked fine :good:

Nexus 5 - widgets sync issues

Hi all,
I have had my Nexus 5 phone for a few weeks now and I love it.
Before that I owned a Galaxy S2, running on CM10.2 with Dorimanx Kernel with Nova Launcher.
I really love the N5, it really is a beast and answers most of my expectations.
However, I have recently been confronted to a problem : my homescreen widgets are not syncing/updating anymore...
Not much of them though :
- Beautiful Weather 4 x 2
- Stock Agenda 2 x 3 redimensioned at 4 x 3
- Today 4 x 2 redimensioned at 4 x 3
Before that I also tried on my N5 : Dashclock + Widget Locker and some extensions for Whatsapp, Google Music, Hangouts, Gmail, etc...
Lockscreen widgets worked fine and were correctly synced and updated.
I have noticed that my homescreen widgets are only updated once : when I set them up or when I turn on my device. After a few seconds they stop updating. Even the update button in some widgets does not work.
This is really annoying as I really like my N5 and this is really bothering me.
I have searched through all the web and through the forum and I have not found anything useful. I have tried uninstalling all these apps and reinstall them. I have tried installing them one at a time and it does not work.
I have seen your N5 homescreens in the forum and it makes me jealous as they are really looking good and rely on synced widgets.
Has anyone got a clue ?
Thank you all very much.
Marc
Hi all,
Just a quick update : I have installed Nova Launcher 2.3 Beta and all my widgets seem to be working fine in Nova Environment. Well synced and updated.
Has anyone kept the default Nexus 5 launcher (Google Experience) and observed the widgets are not syncing ?
I have tried to reset the Launcher by going into the app details and stopping the app and resetting the cache and data. It still does not work.
The weird thing is that I seem to be the only one experiencing this issue as I really have not found the problem stated elsewhere. Or maybe for other devices and particular widgets but I have tried all the solutions and none worked.
Are you running Google Experience on your N5 and are you having these issues ?
I do like Google Experience feel and is there another way to reset it ?
Do you have any clues on how to debug this ?
Otherwise, do you know where I can post this problem and find help ? Is there any Google support for this Launcher ?
Thank you all so much for your help !!

Same issue here...
EDIT
After fighting that problem for 2 days without any luck (tried restarts, reinstalled beautiful widgts, widgetoid etc.) the problem is gone now after posting yesterday into this thread.
Nice.
The only thing that changed since then is that i deinstalled tapatalk - but I can hardly reproduce the problem or solution...
Really a small chance but maybe the OP has tapatalk installed too?
Hi licht,
Thanks for your feedback though you are right, I don't know how I can reproduce your solution.
And by the way, after a successful day on Nova the problem has appeared on Nova now !!
So I guess this isn't launcher related...
There is a pb with Kit Kat somewhere...
How could I debug this ? What is the process responsible for updating home screen widgets ?
Thanks to the community !
OK I've had this problem too.. Very occasionally.. But it's happened in holo launcher..
A restart fixes it..
And I do have tapatalk installed too though am not sure it's related

Hi letmedanz,
Thanks for sharing.
I have done the restart, of the widgets, of the launcher and of the phone...
I just don't get why it works and then just stops working...
I wish I could find the process responsible for the update and my monitor it.
Thanks anyway.
Having the same issue, i guess it's only a few of us. Have you tried reflashing stock img? i might give that a go.
Actually, on Nova it runs just fine. I think I'll just keep Nova. I'm too lazy to reflash...

Hmmmm don't care for nova, unnecessary memory usage. I thought you said earlier it wasn't a launcher issue?
Will try to solve it tomorrow, perhaps it is as simple as wiping cache? Will keep you guys' updated.
You are right to point that out because I thought it was also not t refreshing on Nova. But it actually did, and for some time now it runs fine.
Thanks for trying it. I'll be checking your results in here.
The only modification i have done is installed AdAway other than that i am stock. Oh i also have gravity screen off installed.
I found out I had this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.talkingstopwatchlite running in the background still doing a timer, so many hours! =]
Exited it and now my widgets refresh. Can anyone explain how this app would get in the way of the widgets updating?? =\
problem solved
My nexus 5 block sync all widgets:
The solution is, deinstall phone weaver!
Sören
What is Phone Weaver ? Is it a specific program ? Because I don't have it.
I thought it was the stopwatch app i had running causing widget freezes, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Widgets are still refusing to refresh. Will flash 4.4.2 (clean install) hopefully that helps.
Issue is well documented here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28216
See if this works for you guys https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/uu27aDrcwFs/9L9JRo6kXqkJ
Vladimir Vakhromeev
I've found solution which works for me. I hope it could help others as well.
all that I did is ran in CMD:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
after this nexus asked for locale and name again. Then I've put back my widgets.
I had no problems about a week.
Please, notice that it could be done at your own risk!
I tried the above and it seems to be working so far. Post your results =]
So i have found a temporary fix without needing to reboot.
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1 to kill all processes and tasks, the widgets start to work! The bug will occur again most likely.
Now when the bug does occur again i just have to go kill the process/task 1 by 1 to figure out which one resets the widgets, probably google search (launcher)
This must confirm there is conflict with ram! any insight?!
Anyone figured out a solution that does not involve booting, restarting the phone or manually running an app? that is no permanent fix. and this is extremely disappointing.

[Q] whatsapp+ disappering from drawer

greetings
from past few days I've been experiencing a strange problem
it happens mostly with whatsapp+, tried different versions as well
when I minimise it, the app shortcut disappears from app drawer (from recent apps too) but the app exists (with data) in installed apps & I can't open it
I have tried plenty of ROMs with different launchers but still the same
contacted whatsapp+ community but no solution there
I have captured it's logcat when I start the whatsapp+ after installing, I'm attaching it's log file for some help, maybe it can be of some use
thank you
ROMs tried: Purity, Mahdi, BeanStalk, Slim, STOCK
Launchers: GEL, Launcher3, Nova Prime

from past few days I've been experiencing a strange problem
it happens mostly with whatsapp+, tried different versions as well

Well I am facing a similar problem regarding my alarm clock,, it keeps disappearing from the notification bar, though its still active. I didn't pay attention as just a very minor inconvenience. I guess its just a bug. I think the whatsapp+ issue you are facing is also some kind of a bug.:rolleyes
yeah
any word on this?
