Could you post revert.zip for FIMG and update.zip to reinstall openfimg? Instagram needs OpenGL ES 2.0, maybe it'll work with Samsung FIMG. Thanks.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
there is no revert.zip

samsung's fimg needed to apply dirty patches to android and it is a lot of work every time the cm source code is updated to make theses libs working.

that's why openfimg is a good thing because it work without doing any change in the cm source code.

Rom overall is really fast and works like a charm. Didn't have any problems for now...

But, I'm experiencing problems with notification tab. Actually, not problems, but it's kinda slow. Anyone else has this issue? When I drag it slowly, you can see on homescreen transparent pattern where notification lands when it's open...

Tried other themes, no help...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Shree_Jamdar:
It was there on Alpha 7 too. Not a big deal :)

:( Flashed alpha 8 using CWM. was all going smooth. Installed S2E, but was not allowing to move, so I formatted sd-ext partition in CWM. Then the option to move applications was enabled. After moving apps to sd-ext, i rebooted the phone, and all my apps were gone :( :( In the manage apps menu, all apps are being shown but none of the app is there in the drawer. where are my apps gone ?? how to get them back ?? plz help !!

Edit: and if I try to re-install any of those apps, the phone reboots :(

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ak700:
Its normal. It happened to me also when i used the stock camera. Really freaked me out :eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nishant_713:
???? Its not a launcher problem. The apps are not showing. Whatever I do. Restarting launcher is no solution.

Also, GPS is not working for me. Not Even one satellite is visible, in fact the blinking gps icon in the status bar also does't appear. Any body found GPS working in a8? ??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] harkan89:
GPS works fine for me.. Have you ticked "Use Internal GPS", under GPS Source in Location & security settings??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] schwarzerkreuz:
It's normal. You can see ext4 patition in Link2SD app (menù, Spazio Memoria).

For me video play is not as smooth as cm7a7 + lebidou video drivers.

I was using A7 with 800 mhz kernel & was able to play videos on mVideoPlayer.

With A8, I tried qqplayer, mxplayer, vplayer & moboplayer but video is not that smooth,

some time even audio is out of sync.

I flashed using Odin, did data + cache wipe.

following cpu settings I checked with.

min 100

max 800 / 1000

governer LAGFREE / ONDEMAND

Is anyone facing same issue.

I am testing with the videos which were working fine with cm7a7.

Got the wifi working.It seems that now the phone doesn't connect to networks with a hidden ssid.Even after adding the network manually it doesn't work.If the ssid is broadcasting it works fine.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] fixbug:
Same for me. I enable the ssid broadcast and I can connect my wifi now.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] protomank:
For me, the most important stuff that still needs to be fixed, and I hope you focus on alpha 9, is camera video recording (I went to the roger waters the wall show and could not record a bit of it).

FM radio that was not working for me on alpha7, now runs fine. Thanks for this great release :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Rekooo:
Everything what's on working list works perfectly. The only problem I get with alpha 8 is battery drain. Even using 2G networks it drains pretty fast :/

I don't see your screenshots (I don't know, but I can't see any image attachments on this forum, no matter in what browser), but have you tried to clear maps cache?

Also a question to @marcellusbe, is latest version of OpenFIMG (with updates from March 31) included in alpha 8?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] artifex21:
Video worked better for me when i was on alpha 7.HQ youtube was working perfect but now on a8 lags like hell...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] dhirend_6d:
I don t know if this is related to FIMG but most probably it is. I did not have this on Alpha 7 with Samsung FIMG. The ICS bootanimation is angled. :eek::confused:. I suppose at 45 degrees?? Same as it was with the Camera buttons earlier. And in some others, we get while flashes in between.

Its not a big problem just letting all know.

Any barcode scanner don't works for me.

Bug with sound on/off button. When I turn off sound (only vibrations) by notification panel and turn it on by slider, vibrations doesn't turn on. When I turn off and on sound by slider every thing is ok. I normally use sound+vibrations profile.

graphic bug with slider lockscreen

Tethering Internet doesn't work. Mobie Access point works, but mobile internet isn't tethered. (no internet from phone on computer)

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] szewc1:
I've restored Maps with Titanium (coming from A7 via CWM, data wipe, etc.), found this bug, reinstalled maps - but situation was the same as before. Removed maps, reflashed A8 deodexed apps and gapps, wiped cache, dalvik cache - diagnosis - maps remain unaffected. I don't have patience to make full wipe once again, so can anyone confirm my bug? Map reload after zooming in results in such view.

I'm attaching screenschots to this post as well, this time they will be visible, hopefully.

BTW Skype is still not working (voice calls to be precise, cannot establish a connection).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
I'm not having any problems with it. I had installed s2e with A7 long ago, and upgraded to A8 via cwm and everything works fine for me...

BTW, Is it possible that the phone doesn't go to deepsleep mode while playing music? (at least with Google Play Music app). I just notice that while listening to music (apart from the other audio problem that has already been reported), the battery drains faster and the phone gets warmer. Also, I noticed that the Screen On effect isn't shown when playing music (It's ok when no music is being played. I guess this is because of what I've just reported?)

I have no proof other than what I just said, but I'll start looking. Also, want to know if anyone else is experiencing anything I mentioned...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TearsDontFalls:
for those who having problems with the market: dont restore old version using titanium backup, install new version from market and itll work

But my music isnt identified(i have only unknown artists), on froyo i never had this problem, any1 a solution
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] marcellusbe:
you are right :

- while playing music, cpu doesnt go in deepsleep. maybe it should be good to look into the "Support for low power audio" option in the kernel.

- screen-on animation is played only if cpu was in deepsleep before. That's why there is no screen-on animation if the phone is recharging.

yes, it is the latest version (March 31)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tom3q:
Well, you've done nothing that could affect maps (cache is used only for market downloads, dalvik cache is regenerated automatically when an .apk file doesn't match and AFAIK maps cache is kept even after removing Gmaps), so how they could get affected?

I asked you to remove maps cache, there is an option for it in maps settings. Could you check it?

Btw. What version of Google Maps is it? It doesn't look like the newest one from Play.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Hmm, how do you imagine decoding audio stream without the CPU working? CPU is stopped in deep sleep, so it can't provide new audio data to audio buffers, not even saying about audio decoding or software audio stream mixer of Android.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] szewc1:
You are most probably right, but wiping maps' cache from settings didn't work either.

Maps version is 6.5.0, that's how it looks on our Galaxy 3 on Android 2.3 rom.

I just need somebody on A8 to say that maps work without problems, then I'll just shut up, reflash and stop spamming this thread ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tom3q:
Hmm, I'm mostly testing on Spica, but I have Maps 6.5.0 too and everything (except small signs, which is a bug in mipmapping that I'm aware of) is rendered correctly, so I don't think that it's a bug of OpenFIMG.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] djmaxis:
I dont know that will help about Google Maps but Im using Sygic & Automapa on A8 with OpenFimg and everything works fine. Dont have Maps so cant say anything about that.

Hi! The problem you're talking about is the haphazard arrangement of street names, right?

If yes, then I've checked it and I'm facing no such problem.

Maps' version is 6.5

Also this version is the brut signed version.

For guys facing problems in alpha 8, don't recover app or data from titanium... It'll take time for you to work up your sgs3 but you'll face no such problems. I've started from scratch, after flashing alpha 8 and it's awesome!

Battery life is better, somehow.

Also there's no heating.

@marcel... RESPECT! :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tom3q:
Hmm, I just checked on a G3 with alpha 8 and the problem is here indeed. I don't see any errors from OpenFIMG in the log and it works fine on Spica, so the problem might be somewhere else.

Guys don't catch me wrong. But do a clean install, maybe your bugs caused by different kernel, installed app or not proper installation. I mean flash without wiping or restoring froyo stuffs with titanium backup. I have no problem so far except the known ones.

Hello ... this a question for the devs :

Anyone knows a way to decompile/recompile Contacts.apk from CM7 ?

Even without making any modification the recompiled contacts.apk makes android.process.acore to force close. There are no errors during decompiling/recompiling and I tried diferent versions of apktool and aapt.exe ...

Contacts.apk is the only one app that cause problem.

any idea ???

Ok, I seem to have a problem with the OpenFIMG. Yesterday I was able to play Homerun Battle 3D without any problems on Alpha 8. That night i tried Angry Birds (normal) and I got white textures almost everywhere. Today installed Angry Birds seasons ang got the same. After rebooting some of the white textures where gone. The play button, background some other things were seen.

Some are saying that they have no problems.

Any help. Should i reflash?

Thanks

I wiped the cache and dalvik cache. Still no help

Uhm yea about OpenFIMG. It seems that i have same problem as everyone else :) White textures, my humble indie bundle android games have white textures too. And on playing SpeedX3D or whatever it's called i feel like i am using wallhack :D I can clearly see through the walls though they are not fully transparent.

I guess white/black colors are messed up and other colors are blurry for some games. Though i will wait for tom3q's verdict :P
