hi , installed this rom but i still haven't network connection

Double boot when starting phone
Hello all together.
Yesterday I flashed the latest rom on my skomer.
So far everything runs smooth but I recognized one weird thing.
During boot (doesn't matter if a warm or cold start), the phone boots twice.
Means I see the Pin entry screen and after approx. 15s I see the boot animation again.
It does not matter if I enter the pin or not, it boots a second time at all.
After the second boot everything is OK.
This was a clean flash from theboegls prerooted image with normal pa gapps flashed.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue!
Thanks a lot,
Kubunter

Just installed the new nightly(4.4.4.101014) Everything is running smooth. Just wondering if there is a radio for android 4.4.4 and how do i get it if there is?

I read the forum and tried this code and it worked for me.
run this code in your terminal if you cant find terminal get if from playstore using wifi.
adb shell
su
find /efs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
find /modemfs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
chmod -R 777 /efs/
chmod -R 777 /modemfs/
reboot
After reboot your mobile data should be working

Camera not working
Thank you for your great work, hopefully devs are reading this subthread, too.
It would be nice, if following message would be referred on the first message, since many people have issues with network. I managed only to find all the information by very inconvenient googling:

This post is the Theboegl's relevant one:

Did you use the right clockworkmod mentioned on the main post? Also your firmware might be too new, therefore flashing this one might help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40232503&postcount=43]

If I got it right it must be
- install odin and get cwm on pc
- get supersu and cm on your sd card
- reboot in download mode
- flash cwm on phone
- reboot in Recovery
- well i think you can backup already
- root with supersu
- reboot in Recovery
- wipe data/factory
- install
- reboot​
I use 1010114
wifi and camera work here, but sim card seems not to be accepted
good use of hardware buttons after reflashing (this had issues before)
[did not install GApps, but that should not be a problem..?]
tried 10.2 from flxo and had the same problem with SIM

Double Boot
Hello all together,
I have a logcat of the problem, saved at pastebin.
As I´m a new user, I´m not allowed to post a outside link.
Is it possible that I will send someone who is able to post a link a PM?
The second boot happens around 22:44:54 o´clock
Something with a android process seems to be wrong.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks a lot,
Kubunter

Android Lollipop?
Pushed fix for streaming YouTube should now work next nightly. Downloading source now to build recovery image. Thanks for waiting. I will try to solve the problems we have but I can't guarantee anything due to lack of device. I'm going to discontinue my work for ste devices soon. As long as it builds I will try my best to keep supporting them but fixing problems etc I can no longer continue.

@Unjustified Dev, will you made Android 5.0 for xcover 2? (Because you discontinue development)

There are still STE developers and I'm sure this one will get lollipop working if he can't I doubt we will see it , but lollipop might be a large merge and roms might have to rebase or start from scratch porting hardware workarounds and eventually bring back features.

intermittent network signal
Guys please help. I tried this ROM and it looks great but I'm loosing network signal almost every time I'm starting up navigation (Sygic) and I use it a lot. I don't loose it immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after 20 min. but the signal triangle finally goes black and doesn't come back after switching off navigation. This makes it unusable to me. I've seen people reporting problems with network signal so I guess it's not the app. issue. Sometimes it looks like I just loose data transfer (it shows no internet) but the signal bar shows that I have network. Some other time I was not moving at all but the signal bar was going up and down from max. to min. within 3 sek. After few minutes it stabilized. Something seems to be wrong with the antenna or modem, whatever is responsible for network signal.
And another thing, that looks to be related, I don't have any arrows and network type sign (2G/3G) showing if I do or don't have internet connection.
There were some posts talking about a fix for network problem by typing some commands somewhere but could someone explain it step by step how to apply it, if it is a working fix.
Thanks!

After a reboot the home button doesn't work until I enter my pin code, which comes like half an hour after boot! How do I fix it and does anyone else have this problem!?

I was about to throw this piece of **** phone away but i gave it a last chance with Vanir. It took me nearly 2 hours to flash the Rom , but i got it working.
First of I want to thank the dev for the work, I realy apreciate it. You managed to make this phone usable again, I hate Samsung so much for this crap Software they used for the Xcover2.
After using Vanir for one week (using not testing), here is what is not working for me:
-maximum volume for every call
-stock photo app crashes
-Location is very inaccurate, my guess is the cell tower fix is working and the GPS is not
-sometimes i cant shut off the phone, it freezes and i have to pull the battery
-phone is sometimes not going to sleep mode, i have to restart it
Everything else is working perfectly, this is thousand times better then the Samsung bull****. Oh, my carrier is Telekom(Germany).

No radio/SIM with GT-7710 XCover 2 on CM11
The forum forces me to open a new thread, apologies.
I gave the Vanir Skomer 4.4.4.101714 nightly a try but my broadband (S7710XXAND2)/IMEI is gone after reboot. Big difference to most reports I've read is that once I return to stock ROM all is fine again. In other words: the SIM was not damaged. Also the chmod/chown and move-files-from-stock trick doesn't improve anything. No idea what else I should try. I'm currently back on stock Android.
This is what I've done:
- Use Odin 3.09 to apply 20140112_cwm-6.0.4.6_skomer_fixed.tar.md5
- Boot into CWM
- Update to CWM 6.0.4.7 via cwm_skomer_test2.zip
- Wipe/Factory + Dalvik reset
- Install vanir_skomer_4.4.4.101714.zip (also tried 20131231_cm_11.0_skomer-ota-eng.flx.zip)
- Install pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip
- Wipe/Factory + Dalvik reset
+ Copied {efs,modemfs} from stock to vanir (removed vanir's folder contents before)
+ Fixed file perms to 666, folders to 777, owner to radio:system
I couldn't find TWRP for Skomer or a more recent clockwork recovery. Just mentioning this because I've read a post that mentioned recovery is responsible for setting radio related stuff.
Ideas?

Network connection doest work for me to. I like this rom too and like to be it get worked! (Y)

Never mind, fixed my radio issue. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56293409&postcount=37

vanir_skomer_4.4.4.101714
I got that one and currently it's syncing but I have no mobile networks. I'm from Finland and I'd like to know what data I should post to help fix it. (I could recompile and all if I get instructions)

Just wanted to confirm with my Vanir nightly of 101714, my camera app crashes too. No problems with radio or networking though.

Cant call, says my phone is currently airplane mode
hello, just installed the latest (vanir_skomer_4.4.4.102814) and now my phone can't find network and says that airplane mode is on when i try to call. Airplane mode button says it's off and kills the bt and wifi if i turn it on, aka goes to real airplane mode.
Fix for this would be more than welcome.

rtc clock not working properly
I cant change rtc clock time, I tried -w and -systohc, but nothing

I have 20141013 installed
---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------
Dsp manager also not working. When I change sound compression it works, but at next song it sounds normal, like if it wasnt activated.

RTC can't be set directly on all newer Qualcomm devices.
DSP Manager most likely will be changed in CM. Anyway its DSP Manager bug and not ROMs itself. So if you want look through CM JIRA and if there no such bug report. You can report it.

Ok, I'll report that. I also noticed that recovery backups dont have rtc time. I did some research on the internet and I found something about newer qualcomm devices have recovery time kept in a file in /data/time. I could check this by reading the file time_log.1.
I did know this coz one day recovery bacckups were changed from 1970 to 2014, but with wrong date, so I think I would have to do a full wipe, format data and system and reinstall the rom, I think this could work. I also read someting in the changelog like rtc showing correct or something like this. Maybe same time is kept coz I dont do wipes while installing a new nightly. I really appreciate your work, I love your rom.

It is set to 2014 in kernel. That what Samsung made in KK opensourced kernel. And dont be surprised if it will be set to 2014 next year. Day, month isn't changed forcefully. So thats why you see such date in recovery. While in normal boot mode time_daemon starts and sets date and time. So wipe don't change anything. These RTC changes related to normal boot mode only. Particularly to time_daemon.
And yes, recoveries like Philz support setting correct date.

Ok, thanks

Is screenshot function working for you?

Dialer
First of all, thank you for a great ROM. The only problem I have, is when I am calling someone. The screen just goes black. Is there any trouble with the proximity sensor?
When I take the phone away from my ear the screen is supposed to light up right? Mine doesn't do that...
Thanks!

Hi, is screen mirroring working with CM11 nightlies?
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9506 mit Tapatalk

Hi!
I've been having an issue ever since I started using one of the first nightlies of this ROM: After a random time both my WIFI and phone signal icons turn orange and the proces Android OS starts draining my battery together with having no signal at all. Turning off WIFI at that point doesn't seem to work anymore but can be done by putting the phone in airplane modes. When I disable airplane modes and have my WIFI disabled I can browser through my phone network but Android OS still drains the battery. After I reboot everything is back to normal, as long as I leave my WIFI off.
- I've installed various nightlies and have had the same problem on all of them.
- I've done both a firmware update and a factory reset of my wireless router: Linksys E2000.
- I've both enabeld and disabled the Google Location reporting.
The problem still occurs and I can (with a random time) reproduce it. If anyone can help me debug or solve this problem that'd be great!

Assuming you have CWM in use as recovery, enter CWM. Do a format on /system from mounts menu. Then do a factory reset. Install latest nightly from SD and voila. That worked for me a while back.

Hi, I've installed the 20141106-NIGHTLY yesterday, everything was working great, I updated to the 20141107-NIGHTLY today and now I don't have notification sounds, vibration and light, most of the audio files I select under Notification Sound are detected as Unknown Ringtone, the battery notification light is not working too, I wiped and restored factor settings through recover and installed the 20141106-NIGHTLY but its still the same, changing the color of the light confirms that the notification light is still working but does not activate wen it should.
Nevermind, I cleaned all my setting and reconfigured, it solved the problem

Hi friends, how can we root this ROM?
Thanks

As other users in the thread about solks2 CM11, I am affected by thebrandom reboot thread. I thought it might help to let you know that those reboot often occur when using waze (while charging the phone in my car). Sorry to post here but I do not have the 10 required posts to reply in the right thread.

Hello,
I also have a bug when trying to use google now via bluetooth (stuck on a screen with "initializing" written). I tried several workarounds from the internet but without success. Some suggest that a2dp should be disabled but I didn't find an option to disable it... Anyone managed to make google now work with bluetooth?

Unexpectedly turns off.
I wiped i9505 and flashed crDroid 2014-10-08 and gapps. After reboot while first setup the phone turned off 2-3 times (after I selected Wi-Fi; after I selected time zone). Every time I turned it on and tried to pass next steps. But now the phone even doesn't boot up to setup screen: after crDroid logo the red led lights and phone turns off.
After I write this comment I wanted to back to my previous firmware but turned on the phone one last time. The setup screen was appeared ("Select language" menu). Wi-Fi has been already setup (what I entered on previous tries). I pressed "next" several times and now it seems to show desktop .
Interface looks smooth, but I'm afraid of the further unexpected offs.
Is it normal that phone offs during the installation? Will this rom works okay?
---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------
Inserted sim and phone turns off while ussd request. Seems this rom is not workable at least on my phone .

Replaced your 4.4.3 gapps with "PA GApps Stock 4.4.4, 2014-06-29" and it seems now everything works.

black sreen for some sec after a call
my gt-9505 goes on black screen after finishing a call for some seconds when i use any CM11 ROMS even this rom!!!
any help!

Great ROM!
This is a great ROM! Keep up the good work.
I have encountered bugs which you may want to look at in future builds. I am running the official 20141106 on my i9500:
Sometimes, when I press the power button to turn the screen on, it shows a black screen with the date and time. It does not go away (only with reboot). I can still use the status bar to go into settings (or open a notification) but it does not last long as it switches off on its own.
Another bug i encountered is with floating window. It only displays the app in a smaller window and nothing can be done (eg. resize, open another app).
Important question: when updating versions, do I have to factory reset and clear cache etc? Or can I just restart in recovery and flash the newer version?

Great ROM
Hey guys, new to the forum. The best ROM I tried so far, took a while to get used to the many features that this rom offers, but is fast and stable, never had any problems with it. Though you need some basic experience to customize you phone using Phoenix rom, you'll end up with a device more efficient and great to use. I'd like to ask you one thing about the Ultra power saving feature (by the way is a great feature, it makes the phone battery in standby extremely efficient), is there any possibility to schedule this feature for example at night? It would be great to set it automatically between custom hours. I was impressed about how low consumption the phone has with this feature on. In my case during sleep, after 8-9 hours the battery percentage remained the same. Thanks and keep up the good work !

Not being able to check/uncheck "Restricted Background Data"
Folks,
I've searched several threads for this one and could not find the answer, so I hope someone can help. I've got the Phoenix ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349584 and it works great! The only issue I am facing since I got the ROM is that I do not receive notifications regularly when using data. I only get them once in a while. As soon as I switch to Wi-Fi though, I am flooded with messages. I have checked and wanted to make sure that background data was not restricted, but when I got there I realized this option was not clickable. It's there but I don't seem to have a choice. Is there a way I can get this one active or is there a way I can fix the issue? Anyone faced same issue?

Flashlight issue
Hi there,
Just installed PhoeniX 10, it's just awesome! Big thanks to tamirda
Regarding the flashlight issue mentioned by several users, I think I have it too. It has something to do with turning the flashlight on from the power menu. Steps to reproduce:
1. Open power menu and turn on Flashlight
2. Open notification toggles. Bug: flashlight toggle is off even though flashlight is still on
3. Turn on flashlight from toggle (now flashlight is still on and the toggle is on too)
4. Turn off flashlight from toggle. Bug: toggle is off but flashlight is still on (it can only be turned off from power menu)
The torchlight app behaves the same as flashlight toggle when flashlight has been turned on from power menu
Funny stuff to try: turn on flashlight from toggle and then turn it on from power menu. The flashlight intensity diminishes! Turn off the flashlight from power menu and it's still on, but back to high intensity. Turn it off from toggle first instead of power menu and the flashlight remains the power menu one.
It seems like the flashlight from toggle/torchlight app and the flashlight from power menu are 2 different things. And that the power menu one has precedence over the toggle/torchlight app one.
I hope this helps! I'm a first timer with this rom so I hope I'm not saying complete crap

I have a SPH-720 on Sprint and would love to get a couple of things fixed on my phone with this ROM. I read the first 300+ posts, then read the last 10 pages of posts and I don't see anyone else having this issue. So I wondered if someone here could help. Here is what I have done so far
1. Installed v10 ROM
2. No 3G or LTE data, WIFI worked fine
3. Flash stock NG2 KERNEL for Sprint SPH-720
4. Lost ROOT somehow in the process installing new kernel
5. Tried to flash SuperSu.zip file to get ROOT back no go, tried Towel Root method but said it was an unsupport device
6. Couldn't find out where to enter in APN settins. I went inside the Settings/Mobile Networks but there wasn't an APN setting, so I installed a third party app called Change APN
7. Gained carrier data 3g & LTE after entering APN settings for Sprint
8. The only other issue I have found is I can't send text messages but I can recieve them just fine
I am wondering first how to get root back, I flashed the SuperSu.zip file in TWRP but I don't have root after reboot. I thought about flashing the v10 ROM zip again but then I would have to put the stock kernel and then fix APN settings again.
The other issue I have is sending text messages. I have tried other SMS apps and none can send, only receive. Same with Google Hangouts, I can receive but not send.
Is there something I am missing? I am not a experience ROM builder, but I have customized my phones for years. I am interested in trying to get a ROM for one carrier to work on Sprint, and I have a bit to learn still. Besides these two issues the ROM is awesome and for me it actually is worth it to stay on it even with these issues.
I am open to trying anything, even erasing everything and trying something new.

I cannot install V10
Hi,
I have V9.4 on my Samsung S4, I have downloaded new version V10. When I am trying to install it, everything is ok, I choose what I want to install but there is a problem in last point of installation. When I push INSTALL, after just ONE second it is done and there is written than V10 was installed and phone ask me to reboot. But offcourse It is not installed and everything is same as before installation.
Please help. Thank you

First of all congratulations, great rom !
Bugs: in the initial configuration dropbox crash
Normal power saving bug: settings app crash when power saving enabled/disabled

Been using the Rom for almost a week and so far the experience is great the performance of the phone even with touch wiz is superb the battery life is also better. Would just like to post this short feedback and show my thanks to tamirda for the great rom.
I just have one issue with the car mode always poping up I might have disabled it incorrectly still trying to check on it.

stuck in samsung logo
im coming from GE 45. i used CWM and philz recovery but im stuck in samsung logo and not going anywhere. i thought it was an aroma issue and tried to install the ROM again without wipe but same thing happens.. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

Touch stops working.

Okay, so... I'm a noob at this. Apologizing up first if I somehow did something wrong or not properly.
Issue:
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5. About a year ago I managed to get root access and boot LineageOS on my device, and it was working just fine. 2 months ago I decided to try out resurrection remix oreo. It also worked fine... but then I decided to upgrade the rom... Instead of upgrading (by flashing the new build) I went into recovery (TWRP) did an advance wipe and wiped the entire system, data, cache etc... and just loaded the rom like new with Gapps and Magisk.
For some reason TWRP doesnt work well with Aroma Gapps... and I often like to customize what Gapps get installed. It took me a while to figure out how to make a gapps config file and where to put it.
So after booting the new os everything seemed to work fine. Except! Whenever someone called me, my touchscreen would not respond... I couldnt answer calls or even end them. I had to wait till the call ended so I could use the phone again. So I tried clearing the Phone app's data and see if that would help. (It didnt)
I decided to wipe my device again, do a factory reset. So I booted into recovery only to find my touch screen wasnt working again! I pushed the power button to turn off the screen and turn it on back again and my touch worked. (This was strange)...
So I went ahead and cleared everything again, this time I decided to downgrade and go back to LineageOS 14.1. and now..... it's worse.
The touchscreen goes on and off when it feels like it. It doesnt happen with just calls anymore.
The touchscreen would work but the navigation buttons (Recent apps and back button) seem to work.
and then there are times where the touchscreen would work but the navigation buttons wouldnt work.
sometimes both wont work.
I also get a bootloop issue.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Android boot up screen usually loops for a good while and then youd get the Lineage os boot animation. Sometimes it comes on as normal.
I know you guys may need a logcat. So ive grabbed one. I'm not sure how to attach because I dont see any option to and apparently after 10 post, only then I can post links.
I also tried flashing a new Kernel but that didnt help...
Again I'm apologizing if i did anything wrong or improper. If you need anything else, I'll be willing to provide more.
Thank you!!!

I also used GAPPS Super package with a config file for custom gapps installation.
Link to my GAPPS config file:

EDIT: Ive noticed whenever my nav buttons dont work, the recent apps button is lit but very slightly, the back button doesnt light up at all.

Okay, so... I'm a noob at this. Apologizing up first if I somehow did something wrong or not properly.....

I'm just going to suggest something...
Have you tried the following?
1) Go to Developer options...
2) Then the Drawing Section (or Rendering Section)...
3) Locate and Disable/Turn Off the "Hardware Overlays".
It looks like many Samsung Devices experience this issue (or similar) and is, unfortunately, misdiagnosed as a hardware issue (though it can be Hardware Related).
Sometimes, without any "rhyme to reason", the device can get a bit confused between the use of Hardware or Software settings and acts like its in a "Panic" like state bouncing between the two.
The above steps just manually tells the device to use GPU for all/any screen adjustments.
There's no guarantee that this will work but, I've seen it work for most individuals who has/have/had experienced the same/similar issue.
Good Luck!

Apparently it was already off... I tried turning it on. Will use it during the day and see what's up. Also I remember whilst the logcat was running. If I tapped the screen it would show something like "pause audio"... I'll grab some screenshots later.
And as for touching the navigation buttons. It shows Google input method anytime I touch the buttons. I'll grab some screenshots to show specifically. Have to head to work

Okay so if I touch the screen, log records the entry as
AudioService Stream Muted, Skip Playback.
Anytime I touch the navigation buttons it shows
GoogleInput onFinishInput(): Dummy InputConnection bound
GoogleInput onStartInput(): Dummy InputConnection bound

Your best bet is to post this within the following Q&A thread that's specific to the S5 and Variants.

Members there should be able to provide some better guidance than I can at this point.
