bugs find in latest version of roms

hi im running slade´s minicm 5.0 when i install 6.0 or 6.01 my app jbed java emulator dont work anymore. but it does en 5.0, i try Paul sonybread too and all works fine exept my java emulator. its say {no sd card present or maybe sd card is busy please chek it} the emulator installs fine but midlets dont run just says that and close.same fot froyocomb 1.6 and minicm 7, maybe a wrong lib file or line on build.prop? can somebody give me a hand or a hint? i really use this app. but want to jump to 6.01 or sonybread. thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snusdus:
First of all i am not a developer.

But i think it is a bad idea. Developers dont compete. Ui is what you make it too and everyone has different taste..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] s0ftcorn:
i absolutely agree with that.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] carbonicdk:
A batery test alone would be nice. I've seen differences on up to 300 % from slades android 2.3 v 15 to his 2.2 cyan revolution alone. Other than that i think a comparison of features set up nice would help people, a test alone is kinda silly.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] f-24:
his right.

and i dont think the dev want to enter this contest and compete with each other.basically all the rom are same.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] s0ftcorn:
What would be usefull is some kind of comparison. So new users can make a choice easier.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] consegregate:
But don't you see, developers will not be submitting their roms to compete. That's not the point in xda.

XDA ♥
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] flex96:
the idea is not sooo bad

maybe you could see that CM is not forever the best rom in xda

it is sad that all roms are basicly a CM6 ROM

CM is good but a little bit new would be interessting
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
It's not a competition! It's like a comparable chart for new users, don't get me wrong please!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ctalcant:
I suggest changing the thread title, it suggests a competition. As of right now, you have developers working together using fixes,optimizations from each other to make all the roms better and more stable, i see no reason to change that. Even just rating them still creates a competition in rankings, let alone the fact that your experience with a rom could be far different than what another user will have. This is evident in the rom threads themselves as some users experience bugs and others don't.

I think it's best to leave it as it is, comment on your experiences with the roms, rank them as you wish, just make sure that everyone knows its just your opinion and not a contest or competition.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] coversnail:
Why don't you just review the ROM's if you want to review them? I don't see the need to set a certain time and date, why should the developers work to your timescale?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
Hmm yeah you're right! Good idea!

I'm gonna do that in the next week, anyone want to review them with me?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] s0ftcorn:
yeah but what could you change? You cant add new features, only change the stock Apps and look. Thats it!

Btw a rom with only new features but no "custom" stuff would be nice, so new "devs" have a nice blank rom to start customizing it! =)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Dr.Pat:
they all suck.

100% done.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Not all, Your's it's cool, uM@d? :cool:

Lol epic

;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
The roms that i'm going to review are on the first topic, please be free to tell me if I forgot someone or something ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phroenix:
10 out of 10 for enthusiasm but I think you should make clear from the start its your opinion if you really want to go ahead and do it.

When I first bought my phone I knew zero.

I don't know much now but everything I've learned and decided to do on this phone I've done through reading, and through trial & error.

My opinion is that beginners should learn for themselves, by trying for themselves...not being told

But thats my opinion.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
Yep me 2, but I think it's good to have a comparative chart between the options :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zilexa:
Sorry but why don't you include FroyoComb 1.6?

I think it is one of (or the most) most popular ROMs atm.

The fact the topic is not that active anymore.. says most ppl are very happy with it :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
Didn't see it, done ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
First topic updated, waiting for critics ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] faiyyaz:
Iv found another bug in froyobread v6.01.. N its still not fixed.. I am not able to record any video..i get a force close everytime.. Waiting for it to be fixed..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ocovarr112:
I think u should put the ROMs u cant install....

I already install all those ROMs, so.. I think u r available to do that too..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ZaiKoo:
djx24:

I'm using CyaNoComb v1.3 and some infos about it:

Have multi touch, flash player (it works with default browser, but a little bit laggy), App2SD and JIT compiler built in. So all things built in.

I got 748 point in Quadrant Standard, but its not a comparable value coz I ran it in a non-fresh rom.

After 1.4 comes out, I will make a clean install and I'll send the correct scores for you if you want.

Another thing: Can you explain the method, how you calculate the boot time? When you start the timer, and when you stop it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snoopo:
hopefully you also did not install ROM 1 and over this ROM 2 and over this ROM 3... then your tests are not representative.

you should instlal the stock rom, root it and install CWM recovery- then you should do a backup of this and after that you can install first ROM,

then you resotre your stock backup and install the second ROM to test ... etc.

Some ROMS need to have an installaiton from a previous version to run properly you should mention that.

To have a representative comparison you have a lot of work to do.

Good luck.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
"you should instlal the stock rom, root it and install CWM recover"

That's what I did for every ROM...

@ZaiKoo

The boot time was from the first vibration until the boot animation stops

Other thing I couldn't take screenshoots to every ROM except the SONY, the pics looks allways like distorted or something.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
You got to install GingEricsson first then SonyBreadv4,

Btw how u got so low benchmark score? With SonyBreadv4 the max I got was 2005!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
I don't know wich program you used, but I used the Quadrant Standard on every default option that the ROM has.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Quadrant Advanced
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
That's with tmpfs hack bro, the only way to get so high IO speed it's that (well, also multiboot not even with a extremely high OC) :eek:. Don't trick the people that's bad
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
LoL I didn't hack anything it gives scores like this everytime I even tried quadrant standard got 1800+ lol

And tmpfs hack, just saw it now works with zkernel only?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Let me explain me better, you cant have this I/O score

Without any kind of hack/tmpfs mount over that application, and tmpfs trick it's not for specific roms/devices, it's a linux basic. Honestly if that's your "not modded score" then this is mine :p

If you don't have any kind of hack/mod, then your version of quadrant it's really weird, anyway that's not a normal I/O score.

Maybe that score may appears nice, but it's somehow tricked.

No offends of course.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Seriously if its some hack how it got activated by itself????? I wish slade was here so I could look for answer from him...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
I dont know bro, but your NAND memory it's not so fast like for getting that IO score :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Its not tricked I can assure you that but I think its with my quadrant but then again even standard behaved the same way
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ZaiKoo:
I have 737 points without any hack :p

Used CyaNoComb v1.4 :):)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Yeah even I felt the same but then but lol then I thought mini but mighty
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
That's a normal behaviour for quadrant standard

@galvic What it can be it's that you have some strange version of quadrant, that measures on a different way, IO speed. Otherwise, your mimmi it's genetically modified :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
Lol wait let me send you my. quadrant advanced vrrsion
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
That's warez bro, forget it, I got that you have a weird device, congratz :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
LoL iseriously wanna know if my mini pro was cursed by voldemort or it was born this way!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
@OP, now that I think, you shouldn't run only on benchmark, you should run 2 or 3, and make an average, so can be a more exact ;)

@Galvic, I Guess your phone it's harry potter's phone :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
And every rom shud have same frequency n all,

@dark plz check ur pm's
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] svyr:
>I couldn’t run this ROM because it loop in the gingerbread boot animation

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] flex96:
how is your app for testing the bechmark called
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JDRX:
First off: I appreciate you taking the time to review the roms to help other people make decisions. However I feel like you could improve the review more to help people new to custom roms find their way better.

Something I'd like to see as comparison between the roms:

Android version (and perhaps a short explanation about the differences between those versions in daily user experience)

Overclocking and undervolting (with perhaps a simple explanation somewhere what it means if it has that)

Bugs (Are there bugs mentioned in the topics that multiple people have encountered without a fix provided for it?)

Missing features (What doesn't the rom miss in comparison with the stock rom?)

Stability (Does it force close regularly, do application randomly freeze etc.)

Speed (and not just Quadrant scores as those provide a lot of debate as seen above and don't really mean much to most people. I know other websites that use real life benchmarks as time to take picture from lockscreen, time to load certain website from lockscreen etc. And it would be best to have multiple tests from multiple people to really compare the roms.)

Other defining features (What separates the rom from the rest? For example is it tuned to be as fast as possible, does it mimic stock rom best, etc...)

Battery life (A test comparing battery life, either by doing some tasks and comparing the drop in battery, or comparing how long until the battery drops to 0. Once again this test should be performed by multiple people to get good test results)

Developer activity (How often does the rom get improvements and is the developer active in helping the users resolve problems?)

Also, while it's worth mentioning I don't think the default apps are that important, since the whole point of smartphones is the ability to install new apps. So everyone can do that on a rom.

I would love to see a comparison between the roms like that to really help people decide which rom best suits their wishes. However I do understand that takes a lot of work and I do really appreciate what you have done so far :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djx24:
I tried that to, didn't work.

Quadrant Standard

@JDRX

I know that but I wouldn't do that because it would have occupied my time and also wanted this to be an impartial review, that is, without personal tastes.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] svyr:
strange, worked for me.

I don't know if I like the rom though...

Before CM15 used to reboot randomly when a lot of things were open - chat, opera mobile, market, etc. Now android seems to close bg processes down when that happpens, but (at least?) it doesn't reboot.

So I went from a really unstable OS to something that looks like single-tasking.

Interesting the settings in CM settings relating to resource reclaiming are off, so I'm at a loss how to tune this

Suddenly I can not install APK files on my Gtablet. I never had a issue. Is says to install and it stays on the Install Progress bar for ever, tried different files etc.

The only thing I can think is that I installed the Google Market APP that came out today. It did not work and I uninstalled it ( it took 2 tries of having to re-start my tablet to remove it, was hard to remove)

Anyone have a clue what might be up?

I am using Stock Rom.

Hey guys I am looking to buy this phone:

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/Samsung-Dart-Prepaid

The samsung dart, and to unlock it to use on AT&T. Would this mean that it will not be recognized as a smartphone, or does it use AT&T 3g frequencies meaning that it will be recognized and a data plan will be added?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
Hello everyone. I have the phone for 2 days now, and what I have noticed is that it randomly rebooted once yesterday (I think I caused it by running 100 things to drain the battery quicker) and a bit of lag when unmounted the SD card. Also gallery lags once in a while when loading.

Should I expect more random reboots, or was it caused by me?

About the lag, is this happening to everyone?

I also noticed that front camera is not really in the middle of its space, is it a generic issue?

Thanks everyone for the help ahead.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
random reboots aren't really typical, but nothing to be worried about.

I'm guessing you are on the stock rom. i would blame the lag on that.

The offset front camera is normal. move has it and so did the other 3 mytouch 4Gs I've seen.

Hope i helped!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
Thank you. By the way, would I be able to perm root successfully with Visionary app, while still remaining on S-ON?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
assuming you have the "good" eMMC chip, yes, visionary would work. Although i personally recommend the gfree method.

is there a reason you want S=ON?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
As said above, yes you can use Visionary in conjunction with the root.sh script, but you cannot have perm root and S-ON. Radio security has to be off when perm rooted.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
I do not plan to flash custom ROMs as of now, just need root for some apps, and fully working ROM without need of modding.

I tried to follow the instruction to find out what eMMC I have, and it came out SEM04G from Terminal emulator. Im gonna read more through that thread to figure out whether I have a bad one.

Can I ask you, what is your mA on a stand by with a custom ROM?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
that's the "good" one

um milliamps?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
I just got this phone, it would be a shame to brick it (with my amazing luck :) ) I guess I would have to risk it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
Yeah, in the standby mode. I get 14 mA the lowest with stock ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
not sure how to check
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicksDevouredByTheSkyline:
Just make sure you dont stop the processs in recovory or have a corupted file in the rom
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
really isn't a chance of bricking it unless you try really hard

and what he ^ said lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
There is amazing app with widget on the market, called "Current Widget." It even will log your consumption into the txt file.

I had standby power consumption of 1-4 mA on my HD2. So I am curious if 14 mA is too much for myTouch 4G
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
just installed it, don't know how to check standby. right now its at 396 though
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
Put the phone in the standby mode for few minutes, then unlock it and see what widget says, or tap it to refresh.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
did that and it says 58. i have two streaming music apps running and one download though haha. that's the minimum amount of activities my phone is ever doing.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
i always recommend gfree....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Gfree is alot easier but has been blamed for making eMMC's fail lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
NO IT HAS NOT.

Its so frustrating listening to people spew nonsense about things they know nothing about.

Ask ANY of the actual experts/devs/people that have been researching the emmc issue and they will tell you the same.

ITS A HARDWARE ISSUE. One specific model (of the two) of the eMMC chips is doomed from the beginning. it has NOTHING to do with gfree. the only link is that the visionary method fails on the "bad" chip.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
That is all correct. I think the reason people blame the failure on gfree is that for the most part, eMMC's only fail after being rooted. There have been very few (if any) cases of eMMC failure on a stock, non-rooted device.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
You deserve a "thanks" for that, sir. Well said.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
So from what I understand, if root.sh method is not working - I have a bad eMMC chip? I did the command and it came out SEM04G

I used gfree to get S-OFF, and then perm rooted with the visionary app.

I am being a bit scared as of now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
nonono. You have the chip known as the "good" one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonJart:
Thank you for a fast reply.

With myTouch 3G and HD2 it was a lot simpler. I virtually flashed anything possible and available on the internet, and didn't have any reasons for fear)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDV28:
lol no problem.

There really shouldnt be any fear involved with this phone either. the eMMC chip issue is unavoidable really. You either have the good or the bad one. and if you have the bad, its just a matter of time :/ i have the bad one, but i paid extra for insurance on the phone from Tmo, so no matter what happens to the phone i bring it to a store, and they have to hand me a new one hehe :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It's always just a matter of time, the question is - how much time. Flash memories fail with time.

Since not everyone has his bad eMMC fail, but only a selected and very small number of people - I believe implying that having "bad" eMMC equals inevitable failure is wrong. Especially that judging by eMMC thread in General, the "good" eMMC can also fail.
