Can u Post this Report under Cyanogen Mod 7 for Samsung Galaxy S II ? PLS

Hi everybody,
I registered here so that I can post extra my report. Because I really want a stable cyanogen mod on my galaxy s2
I'm an IT specialist, and have started various tests with CM7 on my galaxy S2, and those are the FCs:
Problems when changing from ROM to Lite'ning Cyanogen Mod 7:
Installed CWM, then flashed --> No success. Restarted CWM the GUI was blue, then flashing --> Done!!!
-Huge battery-consumption
-Black screen during and after a call
-2G/3G Does not switch
-Media and general phone volume too silent
-Video playback does not work, possibly with certain file extensions
-Video recording also works not correctly
-Bluetooth does not work
-WiFi works but very lame, there are disconnects
-Some apps do not work for example Old Book of Ra
-After you select a CPU clock mode for example power saving or ondemand mode --> crash - then --> only boot screen loop! Solution: flash again
The default access points are out of date, for example ePlus WAP GPRS (Germany)
to AWLauncher
The Home Botton which starts the apps was lose, you have to look after
I also don't like the launcher it is not not easy handle, various unnecessary options and settings ...
Things that I miss:
With a Stock ROM, you can call a contact directly if you wipe in the list on the contact with the hand --> to the right, and send an sms when you wipe --> to the left, can u reinstall this function again? Its Cool ;D
Absolutly: Samsung Touch Wiz 4.0 and apps, such as game hub (I do not think the Android Market) -> Would it be possible that you can install them separately?
Google Apps & Market (I know you can not install this with CM7, but this prevents the config of mobile phones at the beginning)
Q: Is it possible to choose a WiFi connection, befor you set up the mobile phone for the first time? Would be very useful, especially after a wipe. (Bakup Apps etc.)

Breaks / Bugs on CyanogenMod 7 Nightly builds for LG Otimus Pro C660

Branched out of this thread .......
Cyanogen Mod for C660
;

;

@varoon, @angenit ...
Please check and confirm the status of the following findings on your respective devices ...
1. Keyboard characters messed up
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
2. SWAP SUPPORT NOT ON KERNEL, please install swapper 2 and try enabling it on your devices.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
3. Confirm if HOTSPOT(tethering) feature is missing from your settings.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
4. Choose 'external' from 'cyanogen mod settings - application - install location' install a couple of test apps from the market and check if they are installed on the external card.
- UNTESTED (I HAVE DARKTREMORS A2SD SO I CAN'T CONFIRM) !!!!!!!
4a. A2SD SUPPORT ON KERNEL EXPECTED.
- INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
5. On screen keyboard not launching when phone rotated sideways.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
6. Selected input launguages not toggling when globe key pressed on physical keyboard.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
6(a). The keyboard is back in action, however it needs some further tweaks, The virtual keyboard has to be switched off when in the right-side-up position as it is redundant in the presence of the physical keyboard.
Also while in the landscape position the virtual keyboard takes up the entire screen space leaving only 1-2 lines visible for input space, very problematic when trying to drag the cursor guide(which keeps jumping to the beginning of the text field) to the right place in the passage while editing.
Tweaks : The virtual keyboard should not exceed more than 50% of the screen and needs to have better cursor guide control
- BUG IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
7. SIM card contents like contacts and SMS'es are not getting populated(viewable) in phone book and messages. The setting for USIM is missing from contacts display setting.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
8. The speaker phone volume while on a call is very low, using the volume button increases the in-call volume and has no effect on the speaker phone volume,
. The sound settings however are maxed out for ringtone, ringer, media and alarm volumes.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
9. In the 'battery use' section of settings the % and the progress bars are not matching, the bar stands at zero for all the categories.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
10. When you turn off the android keyboard in settings, the settings are forcely closed and when you try to go to "phone state" it closes... after when you reboot the keyboard is turned on again.
- YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
11. Video Recording is also not working in the latest build.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
12. Since Build 15, the camera is not working, the moment the camera is run the screen starts blinking/flickering rapidly with "ANDROID_" showing on the screen, this state cannot be exited the phone needs to be rebooted to get out of this flicker'y loop.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
13. Since after builds 11 and 12 the overall performance of the animations or screen responsiveness has deteriorated with build 15 noticeably laggy or slow.
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
14. Also the physical keyboard response is choppy i'e, the instant a key is pressed, the letters display a split second later on the screen. So when one is typing a little fast, you see the letters on the screen not keeping up with the speed of key-presses. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CHOPPINESS IS ONLY WHEN ONE IS USING THE PHYSICAL KEYBOARD !!! the android onscreen keyboard as a normal steady keypress response)
- FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
15. Wifi HotSpot connecting but internet not browsable !!! - since build 34
- TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
Thnx,

1.- Yes, I also have the interchanged keys, the same ones.
2.- Not successful
3.- Now with build 6 I have tethering and hotspot and they work. When I used 5 it wasn't available.
4.- Well I think some of them are in the SD, but Gmail was in internal memory (I moved it with force2sd)
5.- No keyboard when rotating screen.
6.- No changes with language globe or mail and calendar keys.
7.- I couldn't say that because I don't save information in the SimCard, just Google and PC :S
8.- Yes, totally true what you state.
9.- My mistake, bars are in 0! but numbers are working fine.
If you find anymore just tell me.

Thanks Angenit,
BUT LET US KEEP THE POST SHORTER - please avoid using quotes for the entire posts.
No. 4 - Can you test a few more apps installation to confirm if this is totally fixed in your build ?
No 3 - Wifi Hotspots seems to have been fixed - Can you test it extensively ?
No 9 - seems to have been fixed in your build.
@ Angenit
Can you please test your build as my build is the 5th one.
@ Ricardo - If you are watching this thread !
@ others/anyone
Is there a way we can update to the latest build(daily) without having to replace it each and every time ? This way i hope to retain the apps already installed from build to build and save the trouble of installing 40 odd apps daily.
help is much appreciated !!!
thnx.

If you use Rom Manager and don't check nothing but Dalvik wipe (which is checked by default) you will keep your apps. I updated two times and I haven't lost any app.
4.- Yep I receive a warning from appmonster telling me I can move it, but when I go to check if that's true they are moved.
5.- Well I tested it for half an hour and it was successful.
6.- No wait, you're right, the numbers are fine (different values) but the bars are in 0.
Build 6 works fine and has the hotspot and tethering option fixed.

Sorry i did not understand...u mean...
'un-check' everything else and keep the dalvik cache 'checked' ?
or
'check' everything else and keep the dalvik cache 'un-checked' ?
thnx.

When you choose the build in the SD with Rom Manager you get 3 options. Leave them like the following:
*unchecked* Copy the Rom in use
*unchecked* Erase Data & Cache
*checked* Wipe Dalvik Cache

thanks, thats the least we could do
Varoon, please upgrade to build 7 a few of the issues have been fixed.
Follow Angenit's post(below) on how to upgrade so as to not lose any apps already installed in your current build. I followed the same and successfully upgraded to build 7.

Sorry on my bad english
Hello from Serbia
Oh,build8 already..let d`l it

Well I've installed build 9, and there's no fixing of any of the mentioned bugs... It's just like 8.
I'm particularly interested in swap and the keyboard! I don't like it shows it when have to type because the reason why I got this device was the physical keyboard.

I wonder if the developers are even peeping on this thread, if yes !!! Please drop in a word saying so ... we know that u folks will be extremely tight ... not asking for anything more than a 'word' ... and we can't thank enough for what u guys pull-off !!!

Same here
On the keyboard issue, why don't you uncheck the android keyboard in the settings (you'll however get some errors - force closea) and you are good to go san the annoying keyboard.
Until the break and bug is fixed

New bug/break testing on build 9.......
others confirm if its pan your devices
as well before i add it to the main post.
When the Android Keyboard was unchecked
as reported earlier the settings need to be force-closed
a couple of times.
After disabling it i discovered the following...
When 'Compose New message(SMS) is opened, the physical keyboard does not
work on it. I need to re-enable the Android Keyboard in the settings to be able
to type into the Phone messaging(SMS) then the physical keyboard works on it.
waiting for confirmation across all modded devices.
cheers.

I have same problem as Aiamuzz described,there`s no way to type after disabling android kb.
Does anyone have a problem with sending mms?I was sending mms earlier,with this build (9) i cant,everything with settings for network operator is ok.
PS:I still have a problem with characters,can it be because i flashed phone with other version of fw,V10H_00?
Offtopic:where can i dl latest fw for Eastern Europe,in kdz format?
(I have V10H_00 and V10D_00)

[ROM]{4.2.2} Vanir 4.0 - Need help testing

WARNING: This is not a polished build, Team Vanir supports the N7 and so I figured why not the Tilapia, but no one on the team has one.
I am looking for a person or 2 who does not mind testing an untested build or 2 for me.
1) Test build - I know I need to add more telephony based apps
2) If there is an error booting/once booted, may be a theming issue and future builds will probably be stock theme anyways
3) Get it here http://www.emccann.net/dho/3-Vanir-mirror/4-nighties/02-18-2013/
If it works I will edit this thread to be more formal. But Vanir is fully loaded and FAST.

Bug report - enabling 16-bit transparency (with Franco kernel) makes the tablet un-unlockable.
Other than that - it runs nice and steady

Cool thank you. I will swap out to another kernel. Perhaps Faux? But suggestions will be heavily weighted.

Hi, thanks for sharing your rom.
Feedback :
1. APN needs to manually set
2. Bluetooth cannot turn on. After installing the fix through cmwr, it is resolved.
3. I'm amazed with the tonnes of customization hidden under settings - display.
4. It's very smooth during multitasking and loads fast in a default browser.
5. Have just finished restoring all my apps, last bit is to configure all my email accounts.
Great job!
Question :
Is there a setting to bring down the notifications and status bar to the bottom?

Thanks you for your help and great feedback:

- Got a link to the fix? I will try to write it in.
Great job!
Question: Is there a setting to bring down the notifications and status bar to the bottom?
- What DPI you running? try lowering it to force tablet mode. This is likely something I need to work on. Option is under display/general

Bluetooth I incorporated the temp fix. It will be in the nightly I upload shortly (the current one for today does not have it)
The APN, it seems google took out auto-APN support a few months back. I am not clear as to why. If you point me in the direction of a ROM with working auto-APN, I will merge the differences.
Keep giving me feedback and I will get everything sorted out

Unfortunately, the notification bar and status bar are still at the top. The SR12 rom with corefireX is able to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101650, but it only allows a maximum of 5 navigation buttons, whereas in your case, I could have up to 7.:good:
3. Do you have other versions of Vanir bootanimations?

Just downloaded the new version but bluetooth still can't turn on. Unfortunately for me, I didn't do a nandroid of yesterday's version, so have to go back to the CFX nandroid. Will test your next rom with the tablet dpi included.

New Nightly is up. it should have alot of butter.
Should have BT fixesd, enabled telephony and SMS.
Not sure if I fixed desktop/launcher issue or not, but added 213 DPI and that should hopefully force tablet mode.

Fantastic! Hopping over to download.
Update :
Looks like nothing has changed.
1. Bluetooth still can't turn on
2. Tablet mode at 160 and Nexus 7 mode at 213, status bar and notifications bar still stays at the top.
3. Under settings, display, navigation bar, advanced settings, after the "Navigation bar width" section where there is some explanation of combined width help, there's a whole lot of missing settings:
a. Combined bar width port
b. Combined bar width land
After Nav button transparency, missing settings:
a. NAVBAR HIDE OPTIONS
e. Hidden Navbar Enable
4. APN still needs to be done manually, ie it's not automatically done. I didn't try to do it manually though, but I believe if done manually, it will work since the first nightly I tried works.

Okay new nightly here: http://www.emccann.net/dho/3-Vanir-mirror/4-nighties/
Please see today's folder
Thanks for the continued help
1. I added a brand new patch, confirmed working on Grouper... so hopefully by proxy tilapia
2. I chipped at this, but I think I might need a few more commits, but would be excited to know if working.
3. I will look into these overlays, they are missing on all tab builds it turns out. Some I think are intentionally disabled
4. Okay try now, should be good to go.

Nightly is finally up

help finding a replacement Oreo TW rom please

Hi, I'm looking for a suggestion on a ROM to replace my current one.
I've used Superman after trying all the roms available about a year or so ago. Now it's EOL and I need an Oreo rom. I've spent the better part of two days installing a bunch and setting them up and finding issues. I have a handful of features that I really would prefer to have, and can't find anything that lines up. I don't think they're over the top features, just can't find them together.
Here's what I put together for what I'm looking for:
Musts:
Stable
Magisk, or can flash Magisk with MoRo Kernel
Dialer has "places" tab to search nearby things
Most Samsung apps removed, no upday, no skype
Removed brightness and volume warnings
Fingerprint unlock on first boot - can't find a flashable mod for this
Network up/down speed on status bar
Call recording
Status bar/Tiles/System UI/etc work with Galaxy Themes
Can install http://tekhd.com/detonator/ T-Mobile CSC for Wifi Calling and VoLTE
Would prefer but can probably find alternatives:
Has reboot to recovery in boot menu.
Long press back button to end - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
would be nice if it were built in, but can work around
Dual speakers - could just flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-dual-speaker-sound-mod-v4-0-oreo-8-0-t3787782
Ok without but nice to have:
Mobile data confirmations were also removed.
Selectable boot menu choices
Fingerprint from always on for unlocking when screen off
- is it really a battery drain? Superman had it and my battery was ok.
Swipe from right to pull down tiles
Only reason I want to stick with TW is the camera quality. Wish that didn't teather me to it.
Could anyone please suggest ROM's that have most of those things? Or alternative ways to get them that doesn't involve disassembling?
Thank you

I've used Superman after trying all the roms available about a year or so ago. Now it's EOL and I need an Oreo rom. I've spent the better part of two days installing a bunch and setting them up and finding issues. I have a handful of features that I really would prefer to have, and can't find anything that lines up. I don't think they're over the top features, just can't find them together.
Here's what I put together for what I'm looking for:
Musts:
Stable
Magisk, or can flash Magisk with MoRo Kernel
Dialer has "places" tab to search nearby things
Most Samsung apps removed, no upday, no skype
Removed brightness and volume warnings
Fingerprint unlock on first boot - can't find a flashable mod for this
Network up/down speed on status bar
Call recording
Status bar/Tiles/System UI/etc work with Galaxy Themes
Can install http://tekhd.com/detonator/ T-Mobile CSC for Wifi Calling and VoLTE
Would prefer but can probably find alternatives:
Has reboot to recovery in boot menu.
Long press back button to end - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
would be nice if it were built in, but can work around
Dual speakers - could just flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-dual-speaker-sound-mod-v4-0-oreo-8-0-t3787782
Ok without but nice to have:
Mobile data confirmations were also removed.
Selectable boot menu choices
Fingerprint from always on for unlocking when screen off
- is it really a battery drain? Superman had it and my battery was ok.
Swipe from right to pull down tiles
Only reason I want to stick with TW is the camera quality. Wish that didn't teather me to it.
Could anyone please suggest ROM's that have most of those things? Or alternative ways to get them that doesn't involve disassembling?
Thank you

Been using BlackPearl for a while now with no problems
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/blackpearls9-smooth-fastv1-0-t3760189

Recently tried that one. The Detonator TMobile CSC didn't work, I think maybe because it's a S9 port, so no VoLTE/WifiCall/places dialer. I saw the BlackkPearl N8, but that doesn't have many features. HyperRom was close, but the OneUI breaks all theamability.
Currently testing Deluxe Rom, seems to have all that and more. Though stability might be precarious based on its thread. About to root with Magisk via the MoroKernel 5.0 installer. *crosses fingers*
Also, the Deluxe Rom AC/DC boot animation + sound is the most gaudy boot animation I've ever seen, lol. Fortunately it's optional.

Got all the things installed on Deluxe Rom, so far so good. I sure hope the battery life is ok and it's still stable tomorrow.

Between xposed modules and magisk modules, most of your list could probably be completed on any ROM. I'm still on Superman Nougat, and I'd say I have more mods from xposed modules than what the ROM offered.

I'm Theming

So my device is now rooted and running magisk + xposed. I haven't installed many modules yet, just viper4androidFX, VOLTE, and gravity box. I also switched my launcher back to my good old comfortable sense 9 launcher. Works almost perfect, I am getting HTC service pack FC every so often, but I can live with that for now if it lets me use the launcher I want.
Anyway, there are a couple tweaks I'd like to make that I had on my old phone, but I can't use the same sense based xposed modules so I was wondering if anyone knew of any xposed or magisk modules, or some other method to achieve these mods on the ROG.
1. change Icon shape/size as by default, the top of the circle shape gets cut off on the homescreen. Changing size under display settings fixes this, but then I find some things TOO small
2. Make status bar always opaque black with white icons
3. change battery icon (I have a pack I want to install in PNG format) - I've done the systemui.apk method in lollipop, can anyone tell me if this is the only currently working method?
After this the only thing I want to do is fix the force close and take a nanodroid backup in twrp (when its officially available for .48 or later fw)
Thanks in advance!

Regarding point one the only thing I can think of is using Nova launcher. Here you can change the size of the icons on the homescreen, their style aswell as their labels.
The only easy way I know of to change the battery icon is with Gravitybox.
Which options did you activate in Gravitybox?
If I try modding the statusbar or navbar I'm getting a ton of force closes from SystemUI or the screen stays black after a reboot. Which I suppose is a compatibility error given that this isn't exactly AOSP.

Well I fixed the icons getting cut off by setting a custom dpi thats sort of in between small and default. Looks okay I guess, not a huge fan of the circle icon but at least its not cut off.
in gravitybox I changed these settings:
power button torch
torch timeout set to 30 mins
increase volume steps
increased AM/PM scaling to 75%
changed 4g to LTE
allow all rotations
some settings would cause the same black screen you mentioned, in which case I would reboot to safe mode, clear the app data, reboot and try new settings until it worked. I'm not sure which setting exactly causes this but most of them still do work. I am able to change the battery icon in gravitybox also, but I don't really love what they have so I left it off. Maybe if they allowed percent only, or if you could change the font and position of "battery text". Theirs is too bold for me and not in the right spot.
Its too bad no one else seems to want a static status bar. Always black looks so nice IMO and no modules that support past lollipop offer such a thing :/

Were you able to make much improvement in the sound quality with Viper? From what I've read and heard, the speakers are loud but lacking quality.
What is your impression of the cameras? Any interest in trying gCam?

Not sure who your carrier is but does the VoLTE module work for you? Literally the only thing preventing me from using my phone as a daily driver is VoLTE and WiFi calling (no cell signal at work unfortunately). But would like some feedback before I go down this path myself.

Haven't tested it yet, but the module itself installs and causes no problems of its own. I'll definitely let you know next time I get a call!
(PS Im on Bell in Ontario which from my understanding does support VoLTE, not sure if thats for all LTE bands but the ROG has 4/6 lte bands that bell offers.)
Even if it turns out its not working right now doesn't mean someone wont figure out how to force enable at some point. And there are a handful of modules that are working so I expect there will be more over time.

The speakers by default IMO are pretty good quality as long as you don't set it to outdoor mode. (for reference my PC speakers are 8" studio monitors) There was some muddiness somewhere between the 125hz and 250hz band, and a bit of harshness around 4khz so I bumped them down a few db in viper and it sounds a bit clearer and smoother.
The phone comes with "audiowizard" which at least gives you a treble/bass slider and a 6 band eq so I'm just using viper to fine tune the speakers and BT audio.
Cameras are actually pretty good. I'm coming from a HTC One m7 so maybe I just dont know what I'm talking about but I thought the quality was good. Someone here posted about video being noisy in low light, which it kinda is, but if you use pro mode you can change "S" which I assume is shutter speed or something which when set right looks much much better.(and a little darker) Still way better than the m7. I can post some examples if you'd like.
I tried gcam but I dont think it was using any ai processing because the images came out worse. maybe it was an older apk. I was more focused trying to get sense weather clock widget working haha

Thanks for the reply.
Which gCam did you try? There is a moribund thread discussing gCam for ROG here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone/themes/google-camera-rog-phone-t3858294.

I have never heard the word moribund before...
Yea I saw that thread, I tried the one linked up top. I read through the other posts but didn't bother going through that big unsorted list linked lower down. If someone wants to point me to the correct apk to download I would test it out.

Hi bro can you teach me how to root my Rog phone please

Sorry but may I ask how you got viper to work at all?
I install it via magisk and do the activate/reboot as usual but after opening viper and checking the status, I see it says abnormal which means it's not working.
Any ideas or help to get this working for me and maybe others with the same problem?
Thanks.

Yea make sure you have busybox installed, and selinux permissive before installing viper. I used "the selinux switch" from the play store. Let me know if that works. TBH I think its selinux that prevents it from running correctly.
If that doesn't work, you can also try audio mod library in magisk, i installed that in case the the asus eq app would conflict with viper. And also so I can stack that + ViperFX + Xhifi haha
BTW still on FW .48 from november, never bothered to update...

Thanks, i had busybox already as a magisk module installed, as well as the audio mod library, so really the only thing i did'nt try was the selinux switch, so i install it & set that to permissive then got viper to work from magisk.
Thanks heaps for that info . :good:
