experience with rom 0.8

I flashed 5 times this rom for past 2 days. had some FCs due to deleting stuff in system/apps but now all OK. always full/wipe followed instruction with part1 +part2 +after reboot raffaele88 patch for fix color

what is strange that after I flash part1 and if I do not react quickly (2-3 seconds) to reboot the divice in the menu in CWR everithing frozes and have to power of completly and reboot.

-I do not use different kernel or modem then in rom

quadrant on default seting in rom: 4159

my experience so far with FH-0.8:

1.-fonts issue -black font when adding accounts except gmail (exchnge, or any other mail)

2.-flash player not working in browsers -update from market not working. (fix remove /system/apps/flash player.apk reinstal from market, clear market cache if errors.)

3.-samsung account and market wants to update itself, update will not pass same error as flash player (do not know how to fix, tried to remove from /sytem/app. did not help as i am not sure which files and where to get updated apk -and probably its not just as easy as remove apk quess other files are related)

4.-apex launcher wants to update - not working (disabled no big deal)

5.-gmaps working, but bit laggy (worked better in previous releases)

6.-FC when removing contact (known bug, can live with it)

7.-alarms for the clock in rom, you run clock and then press set alarm.

8.-also root is somehow acting strange, some apps says no root. after several wipes now looks OK.

no problem with wifi, calls and reception ok so far. battery life is ok with me

(can not compare with stock, as I used it only on first boot when bought)

otherwise so far great experience, I wote for call recorder in the rom than conference calls.

I like the recorder as I am using it when dealing with byrocrats :)

Hello, i use 0.8 and i cant use contact and call list. Its freeses and i get message- contact stopt (something like that)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] beheaded:
contacts

I have the same issues with the contacts. Seems to be missing a few functions in contacts aswell? Like displaying only contacts with a phone number.

Just install FoxHound 0.8 Part 1 ONLY

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Try only installing PART 1 of FH 0.8

Part 2 will overwrite your stock apps with AOSP apps = less features.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Thanks for taking the time to review...

1. Should be 90% fixed my Raffa's color patch (although this causes many FC for me)

4. Apex launcher updates fine for me (currently 1.0.3 and my favourite launcher)

6. This is caused by AOSP calendar instead of stock Samsung calendar and should be fixed in the next release (Hooray! coz I hated AOSP Calendar anyway)

7. Stock Clock and Alarm etc. is available as a patch

Try installing ONLY PART 1 of FoxHound 0.8

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Check recommended install method from my signature and perhaps reflash

I don't have any such problems as you're experiencing.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

NOTE: FoxHound 0.8 has TWO (2) install files.

1. Boot into recovery mode

2. Format System / Factory Data Wipe

3. Wipe cache and also wipe dalvik cache

4. Install the first zip & you will get the CWM install completed message.

5. Select Reboot Now and let the phone boot up to an Android setup screen.

6. Setup the phone as requested.

7. Once Android Setup is complete, reboot the phone into Recovery Mode again

8. Wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache again

NOW, you have a decision to make regarding Samsung stock apps or AOSP apps.

If you prefer the stock Dialer and Contacts etc. you are finished - Just Reboot.

If you prefer AOSP apps, continue to step 9

9. Install Part 2 file for AOSP apps installation.

10. Once completed, Reboot the phone and enjoy FoxHound 0.8

Please Note: You will probably still experience FC's on editing g00gle contacts because of the AOSP Calendar.

Hopefully the next build will be using stock Calendar (which has many more features anyway!) and then no more FC's from this.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Try installing again using my recommended install method from my signature.

I certainly have Synch Contacts in my options...

How did you update Apex launcher???

It's not possible by market... tried also to uninstall with Titanium Backup...also not working so I restored it with TB

How can I install or update Apex Launcher from 1.02 to 1.04?

Whats the difference between glass and glass deluxe?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gowind:
Glass is the normal lock screen and glass deluxe gives you additional options like slide to different sides and you can unlock camera, music player and all. :)

The Foxhound 0.8 work great for me.. But i made some modification on part 2.. I Like the part 1 dialer & contact. And change the black aosp mms.apk to the white version.. Because of the grpahic glitch. The only thing the current framework didnt support the new version of email.apk and the exchange also not working..

So far the issue are not a big deal.. Everything work perfect..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] woomack:
Big thanx to raffaele88 for hard working!

What is actually the better ICS ROM from batista? 0.4? 0.8?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hitchi:
Don't work for me. Even if I uninstall it via Titanium I can't update because of "wrong signature"...

Strange... noone else can't update Apex Launcher?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Agent_Adodas:
Yep, same issue here, cant update Apex.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Willie_Heckerslyke:
I'm still having the black text on dark background problem on a lot - but not all - menu's....

I think the problem is just confined to the context menu (press & hold) as far as I can see!

I've applied the text fix - twice - but still got it. Anyone else got this problem??

Hi Aprila and Raffa,

Installation 1:

1. Installed fx 0.8 part1.

2. Did not set up Google account.

3. Installed FAX part 2.

4. Install siyah beta 7.

5. Setup Google account

6. Contacts not synched.

7. No option to sync contacts as I said earlier.

Installation 2:

1. Installed fx 0.8 part1.

2. Did not set up Google account.

3. Installed FAX part 2.

5. Setup Google account

6. Contacts synched properly.

7. option to sync contacts present.

7. Installed siyah kernel

8. Reboot from cwm

9. Could see that android is upgrading msg for a second only.

10. Now no option to sync contacts.

11. When I try to add a contact : no Gmail acc shown. Select add acc, it says add a exchange server acc !!!

12. Contacts are present since I synched when I don't have siyah installed.

Now apart from this :

1. Dual SMS issue is resolved.

2. Contact delete without siyah kernel should work fine BUT no. The contact delete animation hangs for 5 sec and then displays a crash msg and quickly animation hang and not responding mag are removed and contacts app is now read to accept any other option. The contact is actually deleted. But u know what's happening.

Its not a real fix.

3. YouTube won't update. Some signing issue.

4. Black over grey.

Hope you fix all these....:D

Download Apex Launcher v1.0.4 Stable Version from

HERE

Using Root Explorer, browse to System/App and rename or delete old version

Paste new version in System/App and set permissions to rw-r--r--

Reboot :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jcrompton:
I have flashed hundreds of ROM's and I always seem to come back to Fox as one of the better all round ROM's (so no disrespect meant) but I have consistently had an app or two on this ROM and many previous Foxhound (even Gingerbread) that had been installed or add to the ROM as a system app and was then unable to be updated .... there must be something that is happening when these ROM's are being compiled that is causing this ??? (and possibly easily fixed if you guys are made aware of it)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
Man... you even quote my install method in your post and yet you still don't follow it? WTF? :confused:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
Yeah I know what you mean... I'm not sure what the Apex Launcher issue was but that's why I wanted to find a fix... best I can do I'm afraid (and because it's a great launcher).

It's such a hard thing to get a ROM just right it seems, especially trying to please everybody with their different tastes and needs and levels of intelligence.

When you stop to think that we're all supposedly using the same phone, the variations of errors and supposed bugs is just outrageous.

I'm no expert (I've only owned an android phone for about 3 months and never had ANY type of smart phone before that) but I love the FoxHound ROM and the great group of guys we have here.

I would like as many people as possible to experience FoxHound for themselves... and I enjoy learning more myself while helping out other people.

I look forward to an issue-free release soon though :D

hi reff / aprilia

why every time I try to install some applications like flash player / apex launcher can not always (applications not installed) what is wrong or have any ideas? :(

Yes but my post is a LOT smaller and less obtrusive :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jcrompton:
A bit off topic but why Apex vs Nova launcher ?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
I gave you a freebie thanks there... pressed the wrong button :p

I think the problem is somehow caused when Raff is compiling the ROM.

It seems some signatures are incorrect or permissions wrong or similar issue for some of these system apps which then won't allow them to be updated or uninstalled.

Fix the Apex launcher using my method posted above or flash the loud Toxic fix.

Any other system apps should generally be able to be updated using my method above.

I see there's a similar issue for YouTube that someone has posted a fix for also on a previous page.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicOne:
No way... search for the new one in your system/apps you will see it...

( It may be that the apex launcher apk names are different, if not with the rom But when the new apk is in the system. )

Who told you I did not follow your installation steps ?

In first installation steps I mentioned I also got the contacts sync. I too can post an image if that's what is required.

I hope people read before they reply !!!

Pls stop sending the same BS "follow installation steps" and read the post fully understand and reply.

U r masking the bugs from Raffa by giving ur stupid answers.

And yeah, I corrected the steps I posted by adding the data cache dalvik format steps. Read it. I did it but didn't mentioned it and thought that people will actually concentrate on the problem at hand.

And these are not some out of the world steps. These are the basic steps that every from dev suggests before flashing his rom.

Yes you're right in system\apps it is version 1.04 but if I look into apex settings it is still 1.02 and also google market show me that there is an update available

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
YOU posted your installations steps! That's what I based my reply on!

I read them VERY carefully... in no way did they match the correct method.

I guess in your case, my BS "follow installation steps" are wasted.

I am masking nothing... there are bugs and there is no argument there.

If my answers are so stupid, I suggest you put me on ignore so you don't have to read them in future.

I tried to "concentrate on the problem at hand" but with your own stated installation methods that are nothing like the correct method, I found it too difficult. :rolleyes:

Apps update/play store/FC

For those who are having hard times update system apps (maps, youtube, nova & apex launcher etc.,) from Google Play Store, there is a workaround as following;

1. Remove those apps from system/app folder using Root Explorer or similar (you may place it to any folder on your SD in case you may need it again but usually NO)

2. Boot the phone to Recovery and wipe cache/dalvik then reboot the system

3. Using Play Store to download/install those apps again then you will have the most update version

4. Not necessary to place those apps back to system/app folder, this is to ensure that future update will be no issue

The above can also be applied to system apps that caused FC with slightly different method as following;

1. Remove the FC apps from system/app folder and place it somewhere on your SD

2. Boot the phone to Recovery and wipe cache/dalvik then reboot the system

3. Place those apps back to system/app folder

4. Reboot the phone again... then you good to go

It works for me but as usual there is no guaranty and do this at your own risk :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] toxicOne:
delete the old one & use the new one...

yeah the white text color of white Background is really difficult / tricky....:cool:

but i can change this....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
Not sure of your question...

Why I like Apex and not Nova?

Why Apex doesn't update and Nova does?

Or something completely different? :p

Thanks for a good little tutorial Mate :)

Now can you work out the best method for me to remove the AOSP Calender and anything associated with it and replace it with TouchWizCalendar.apk and anything else it needs to run?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jcrompton:
The question / comment was what do you like about Apex as compared to Nova ?

Yes please change and let us know when you have done it , as I posted before it even effects one of my Menu's in TapaTalk ..

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
TBH, I've not given Nova a good try recently.

I always used ADW in the past and loved it.

Then when I got my first FH ROM, it had a choice of Nova or Apex.

From memory I started on Nova and started setting it up and it didn't do something I wanted so I tried Apex and I've been using it ever since.

ADW is still on my GF's Galaxy Ace but Apex is so much better IMHO.

Unfortunately, Apex won't run on her phone so...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] prommindh:
Sorry mate... did try added/removed/replaced the AOSP Calendar.apk with TouchWizCalendar.apk and its associated but still at no avail :mad:,

Once I can sort this out I'll definitely share with everyone
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
Yeah I tried a few different methods today but all to no avail also.

I even re-installed FH 0.8 twice from scratch with full wipe to make sure I had a clean base for each attempt.

Interestingly, g00gle contacts was in accounts and synch every time! :rolleyes:

6. Now your calendar shall be synced... :D

Enjoy..!

@Aprilia not really sure is this what you are looking for? Early on I couldn't manage the app to sync with google calendar no matter how I tried, now it works fine but still not the old TWcalendar, isn't it? :o

Just out of curiosity - are you trying to get Calendar to sync with installation of just Part 1 ??

I have an install where I have installed both Part 1 and Part 2 and my Calendar syncs fine but I have the graphic issues ..... so I tried to do an install with just Part 1 and I could not get Calendar to sync with an Exchange server (Google sync'd just fine , but the calendar associated with my Exchange server would not sync -- I think this might be the Exchange issues Zoule mentioned in a previous post)
