[ROM] [cwm]-BLACKEDITION FOR THE SGS2-Apr-28-2012

Fix permissions fix found!
Alright after testing fix permissions I found a way to make it run!

Issue: fix permissions won't run from recovery (correctly (it says done in less than 60 secs and stops instantly for me saying completed and while in Android; ROM manager script runs but freezes at random points (same if you open terminal emulator and run it).

Resolution:
You have to have adb on a computer for this
Boot in to Recovery
plug USB in to phone and computer
Go in to mounts and storage and mount /system and /data
On computer open a command line window (windows) or terminal (Linux or OSX)

Run "ADB devices" and be sure it is not all ? For device number (if it is restart recovery and reseat USB connection and run "adb kill-server" on computer) I had to run terminal as root (admin for best results bit got it to work either way really)

Now run "adb shell" after mounting /system and /data

Once that opens and you get ~# run "sh fix_permissions -l -r" just like that (with two separate - don't do -lr or it won't run)

Of it says not found mount /system

If it says something about read only variable you forgot the preceding sh (may need to do "cd /sbin" then "sh fix_permissions" if you still have an issue.

This is only way I can get fix permissions to run (even tried sh fix_permissions -l -r in Android terminal emulator and script manager to no avail)

After fix permissions ran correctly it really helped iron some small performance issues and notably helped.

I hoped that helps!

Clear data for the email.apk and reboot. You will need to resetup email.

That did it, thanks.

Thanks RealPariah

I had to flash the standard cwm cause the recovery touch was not letting me adb (Qualcomm hsusb drivers did not get recognized)

Also I had to use the "cd /sbin" "fix_permissions -l -r" because the run was not found...

Now it works ! Thanks a lot !

Interesting I use Clockwork Touch and adb works [sometimes get ???? when I run adb devices but adb kill-server and reconnecting the phone I usually get it right back].

You may have had a bad flash of the recovery be sure to download via WiFi ONLY and do not touch anything while ROM Manager downloads and sets it up. If you use Odin Method try downloading the recovery image again and give it another shot.

Thanks for letting me know of the cd /sbin as I stated before when I got the can not be found I found I had forgotten to mount /system so that is good to know as when you boot recovery the PATH variable should include sbin meaning anything in there should run regardless of where you are in directory structure so good to note that may not be the case.

Yeah, it did not work miracles [like doubling my speed or some other crazy statement that stretches belief], but my phone is definitely a lot happier, more stable, and even a touch more smooth after running fix permissions fully this way YAY

Same for me, I had weird freezing with a small vibration sometimes for no reasons, also acore FCs gapps FCs etc... I managed to fix permissions partially with SuperCharger_V6 and it improved a bit, but now with a complete fix_permissions I didnt see any FC of freezing yet.

Also, I tried to run fix_permissions form Rom Manager, Supercharger_V6, Terminal and CWM after your method worked and all of them failed... wonder what's different with running from adb in recovery.

As started in my post if it says ?????? When you run adb devices restart recovery and reconnect USB.

Also may needed to run command as administrator (windows right click cmd.exe and click run a administrator or in cmd type "runas /user:%computername%\administrator cmd" without quotes (windows XP SP 2+, Vista, and 7)

Or in Linux from terminal "gksudo xfce4-terminal &" (or sub your terminal command for xfce4-terminal (xubuntu) and keep the & (tells Linux to run add background progress so if you close first terminal root terminal stays open).

Also could hold alt and tap F2 and in Linux it brings yo run box then use "gksudo xfce4-terminal" no quotes and no & this way.

You need to have Android SDK downloaded and at least have downloaded the USB tools piece and of course have installed correct device drivers (install Samsung kies as that installs drivers for galaxy S2)

I also have been using Camera 360. It is free and even allows you to adjust the direction of the saved photo in it's settings so you can even adjust for image being oddly rotated. Mine are 90 degrees counterclockwise to the direction of orientation by default (shows fine on screen just saves rotated).

Yes you could also fix with a photo editor real easily too, but if taking a bunch of photos it gets time consuming.

It is not difficult and will not break anything. You just need to have the ability to use adb on a computer however you choose to install. After that it is just 3-4 command and a Short wait.

Of course I take no responsibility for your device as there is always a chance (no matter how remote it may be) you could have an issue this is just so rare with fix permissions statistically you are way safe.

Download Google Android SDK and run the menu it will give list of downloads. Choose the USB tools and install. Then, in adb directory (wherever you extracted it) look for hidden folder named platform-tools. If you don't add that directory to your path then when you open command prompt do CD C:\androidsdk (or whatever)\platform-tools

Now run adb devices with phone connected if it is running you will awe the comp either start adb server and list a serial number with status or if you get ?????? reconnect phone and restart recovery oh and also run adb kill-server then when reconnected try adb devices again to see if you get correct listing. Adb will restart it's defer when any command is tried if adb is not already running so no need to adb start-server.

You should really go back and do it again with -l -r... they are very important... this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24960214&postcount=1022) works verbatim on any t989, adb shell->cd /sbin->sh fix_permissions -l -r

I don't know why you have had so much trouble man. Just don't skip any steps and it will work.

That sounds like it would be cool, although tbh I didn't see alot of differences when I was running ChicagoEire, however shortlived that was. You know better than us the differences in the bases, if you think it's worth it do it but I truthfully wouldn't mind waiting for an even better base should there be updates. I wouldn't want to see your work go to waste if you're going to have to do alot of it over again.
