This is just about freakin' perfect, and the XPLOD ROM may finally hit perfection. The key element for me were (1) stick with KJ6 AND (2) extend battery life. The CWM mod made it almost too good. This ROM does it for me...a cellular wet dream come true! I am just finishing the second day on a single charge and still have about 44% of battery life left after 15-20 calls, checking e-mail for two days, and just playing some. BEAUTY! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! BUT.....let me put on my leeching hat: Where's that tricked out version? Will it drop the soft buttons?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brooklyn718941:
For some strange reason apps that i would install wouldn't show up in my app drawer. But if i go to application settings it says its installed. I fixed the issue by doing factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
I bet "factory reset" would cover 10-15% of the problems/questions here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
I dontttt as n do not have a pc atmmmmm so the extreme ver is on hold atm.....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jon.01:
This is ridiculous. I even moved all apps to internal storage but this problem still happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
I only pushed the services.jar into the framework and cleared davlik and regular caches and it's been working well so far. Thanks for the tip though, if something wonky starts happening, that will be the first place I look. :p

PS: if anyone else wants to try this, pls do so at your own risk, it was just a mere suggestion if you really can't live without crt-on. If things go wonky, I can't be held liable.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
I think some of the folks here need to go Odin a stock ROM with a pit and start over. If you have to do a full wipe anyways a good old pit flash can't hurt (a long as you have the right pit file) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Or you can try my theme for v3 and get CRT on/off, power mod and browser fix... oh AND a sweet styling all in the same place ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
One-Click will do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
You're probably right. I was being really conservative. As for the tricked out version...whenever, if ever you ge to it. Like I said, I am loving this (joint with krylon et al) effort and would happy to stop here...kinda :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
lol. We know you don't like Odin but maybe you could clarify for me and others who don't like change. Is the pit from froyo kc1 cleanup posted by raver or fbis safe to flash with stock GB? No one has posted an Odin flash with a pit for GB. Hate to flash boot loaders multiple times just to use the pit.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
I second that motion. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
It's the same stuff. If you read my one-click thread, I figured out which bootloaders and pit to use by analyzing FBis251's ext4 guide, and RaverX3X's bootloader rescue one-click. RaverX3X was also kind enough to test it out for me!

You can flash the bootloaders from my one-click all day and your phone will be ok.

I am still waiting for someone with technical merit to tell me not to use heimdall because it does "X" wrong or anything.

If you don't want to use the one-click I made, you can still:

mkdir one-click; cd one-click; unzip ../<one-click>.jar

Inside the stuff that tumbles out, you should find a HeimdallPackage.tar.gz in that directory:

find . -name '*.tar.gz'

Then unpack that:

find . -name '*.tar.gz' | xargs tar zxf -

you should have the pit and all sorts of other things you can manually flash.

So if you just want to upload the pit and a kernel:

heimdall flash --pit Sgs4g.pit --kernel zImage --recovery zImage

And tada...

I want to be clear about something, does the 3.0 version is a Stock 2.3.6 with a diferent battery icon and another things like the loading icon and menu letters? im kinda lost here jajaja

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nooney299:
I join the masses with the dissapearing apps problem. I did the partitions, ext4 voodoo, the whole 9. Ive got octane 3.0 on and running but once i have to reboot all my apps disappear and it is driving me insane because i keep having to reset up my phone. This is nuts.... ANY thoughts? I wiped my sd card for the 3rd time this morning and redid the bootloaders and all. So i dont get what keeps making it disapear. Linda acts funny too. That heifa wont talk but when she wants to so i am wondering if that is a hold up.........:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Are the people with the sd app issue using app to sd or link to sd....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nooney299:
Yes and no. I was. But then i reflashed EVERYTHING and just put a few apps to see if those would stick alone and they didnt. That was with out the app2sd. Like now market says i have 120 apps installed but i clearly only have about 30 on my phone. And i dont think this is a just octane problem or anything, it is something new but it is in other threads also. I know earlier in the year when i had this phone before running voodoo and audiophile i never had these problems. So something is weird now....

Look in the app and themes section there is a thread there about tegrak settings, read my post there for further guidance
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bswann:
While I'm not on this Rom, I did have the same problems on three different ones including Octane2.x. As long as the apps are on the phone memory everything is good but, if you move them or link them to the SD card they will disappear after reboot. Force closing the launcher doesn't work, you have to either go into recovery and wipe dalvik cache or use the quick reboot option in Link2Sd, doing so you will still lose any widgets you might have on the HS which is why this is so aggravating.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitallure:
I'm using link2sd
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
Im using link2sd also and after a reboot alot of my apps are not there too. What I do is go into link2sd and hit the menu button and where it says more look for quick reboot and hit that then after it boots up all of my apps are back. I suggest doing this it should work for you also.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
anyone have screen shots of the turned Rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bswann:
Are your Widgets on the homescreen after the quick boot? Mine always disappear and I have to set all of them up again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Just a note the rom is fine the issue is deu...

Or dont use link 2 sd or app to sd as it seems most have with gb doesnt seem to work also force close ur launcher n wipe the data out of the launcher or check the md5 of the dl vs the website... cause. This rom is on my phone works fine was tested before released to u all
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Toshinobu:
I hope the ICS theme comes back. It looked real good. I had to switch back to 2.x WIP because I couldn't stand the default theme and TouchWiz launcher >_<
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
+1 no link or app 2sd here. No problems. Have apps on my sd card though, with the system set to install all apps with said feature to sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
my bad raver i misread thx for the quick reply though
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
There are themes popping up for this ROM, like my blue transparent one in the themes and apps.section...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
Anybody else having bluetooth issues with this rom. I'm trying to track it down to either the rom or bhundven's kernel. Whenever I enable bluetooth it sticks for a few minutes and then turns back off.

Edit: nevermind, not sure what was the cause, but doing fix permissions and clear cache fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
No I always have to reinstall my widgets also.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
I know it's off topic but I don't think there's a thread for the new whitehawk rom but its running smooth :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twystn:
If you were using titanium backup, you could restore the ICS launcher from there and run both launchers or take out TW launcher. Just make sure you set the new launcher as default before you rip out TW.

having trouble flashing :(

So I rooted my SGS4G using this guide:

100% successful at rooting; I did not remove the bloatware/fota stuff

Then I followed this guide on flashing a new rom:

I loaded up the orange CWM recovery successfully.

I have the mounts set up as well

i wipe cache and dalvik

i then select the sgs4g-OfficialGB2.3.6-NOCIQ-Octane v3.0.zip from the sd card but the log at the bottom of the screen says

can someone help me out :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I just want to say that Link2SD was giving me problems on Gingerbread a while back.

So I uninstalled it. It still gave me an issue until I wiped cache and Dalvik cache in CWM.. Waited 20 mins (I wait that long) for the phone to rebuild the Cache.

I haven't had any problems since. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
Are you sure the zip file is in the root of the sdcard?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stinky180:
Just checked, the .zip is definitely in the root of the sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I had the same issue as you on Octaine ROMS.

I just flash them WITHOUT changing mounts. They flash every time worth no issues.

I can't tell you why (sorry) but that is what I do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
The flashing script takes care of the mounts...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stinky180:
The mounts were actually set as is when I loaded the CWM recovery, i didn't change anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Without touching them they would be UMUU not UMMU.

Kernel?

What kernel do you use or think is the best for this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
The one it comes with lolllll
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I'm using the one that came with this ROM, KJ6 and I'm happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stinky180:
They are definitely UMMU, I did not need to change them. However, I just tried to change it to UMUU but when I attempt to change the 3rd option /sdcard it says:

Error mounting /sdcard!

i tried restarting and everything but I can not change the /sdcard (3rd option)

EDIT: Here are details about my phone:

Model number: SGH-T959V

Firmware verision: 2.2.1

Baseband version: T959VUKD1

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build number: FROYO.VUVKD1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
You are on Froyo. And you do not have the proper bootloaders for Gingerbread to flash this ROM.

Int the Developers Section of our forum find FBis251's Starter Guide and follow his OP... I'm out shopping and don't have the time to be very specific.

FB's Guide will explain EVERYTHING.

Odin the official gb that was made.

Then Heimdall bhudvans kernel

Then flash the rom

Then flash battery mod

All is fantastic here!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
Froyo to GB, Odin then CWM

Oh. I didn't catch that you were running froyo. Still, does that matter? Kies works moving directly from froyo 2.2.1 to gingerbread 2.3.6. It's been several days since I did it, but I believe I used Odin to move from stock froyo to stock 2.3.6. So many flashes....maybe I am wrong. Anyway, if nothing is working for you, you could try to Odin stock KJ6, then Odin Drhonks KJ1 kernel to get CWM, then Odin this tasty KJ6 mod. Still does not explain why CWM does not see the zip on your sdcard. Did you try repartitioining/formatting the card? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cannondale0815:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
Sorry, Jer. I misfired. I was laughing at the reply about which kernel to use with this ROM. I know there's a lot of chatter here, but I guess it's too much to ask that one try to read what others have asked/said before asking what's already been asked/answered more than once already. I'm still just a novice/junior member, but it's clear this is all KJ6--kernel, root and leaf.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cannondale0815:
I am getting a system force close every time I reboot the phone. Anyone else experiencing this?

This is after a fresh install of Octane 3. Just before that, I went back to stock (KJ6), cleared all cashes and wiped the data partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
It's actually understandably confusing. I agree.

My kernels, up until the next release, have always had the same localversion of the kernel. So you can't tell the difference as to which kernel you have unless you look at the very first line of `dmesg' (shell command) after booting the phone (to see which build# you have).

Beta3 is coming soon, and it's "about phone -> kernel version" will be: 2.6.35.7-sms-kj6-v0.1.0

Progress is a synonym for time.

I get this on both octaine3 and krylon's nociq 2.3.6. The base of both roms are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vampyrate:
Funny thing is, I was just boasting about battery life and when I had the phone at about 2% I plugged it into my work computer like I do everyday (still at work for another 3 hours) and I have seen the battery level drop and the phone get really hot. Thinking of a battery pull.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stinky180:
Hrmm, I just attempted to do this but the program just sits at Installing drivers...

Drivers are definitely installed because once I connected the phone in download mode, they installed automatically.

Is it because the phone is still on Froyo? Does the computer need to be restarted after installing drivers?

I'm waiting for the files in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223765&highlight=FBis251's+Starter+Guide

to be downloaded before I do a restart.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I'm running octaine3.

I plugged my phone in on sunday night. I woke up and unplgged power saturday morning and didn't plug my phone back in (at 22%) until last night when I went to sleep at 3am-ish.

There was another thread around here about battery calibration (with Vlad_z) where he explained that the actual calibration data is stored in a chip on the phone (the max8987 chip?).

The batterystats.bin file is nothing more then a log for statistics used in the settings - about phone area and things like spare parts battery statistics.

I also have a message somewhere about getting logs of the battery and charging info, to help kernel/rom developers.

Search, search, search... Beta, beta, beta... Test, test, test... Logs, logs, logs.

It takes time to unpack the contents of the one click. Try again, be patient. ;)

Or, try uninstalling the drivers first. That way you get past that step, but still... I've seen unpacking the one-click take 5-10 minutes (my computer was also doing lots of other stuff...)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yeah, I have the same issue. Haven't taken the time to search about it or try and figure it out, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Its because ciq was removed from the framework n media hub uses it as a drm dependancy.

I have a PIN lock on my phone. If I let octane 3.0 finish scanning initializing my sdcard before entering the PIN (I have to keep pressing numbers 'til it's initialized), then I enter the correct PIN and finish to Home (Go Home), I do not get the FC. If I load Home while the sdcard scan is happening, I do get the FC.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brutuspa:
Thanks Raver and all devs

It's starting to feel like a few months back, when ROMs were coming out daily - but now WiFi works and we can make it look like ICS. I'm excited about flashing something new every night.

I know the faithful say it all the time, but a world of thanks to all the devs - there is a tiny core of really talented individuals showing us infinitely more love than T-Mo and Sammy. My wife would kill me if I suggested that I "needed" a new phone (again), so I "need" the product of your efforts to make this single-core antique stay "Octane-charged", "buttery smooth", and deliver me to "Valhalla". F the trolls, and thanks for not letting them get you down!

I have found one curious short-coming in this ROM. It may not be an issue to many others, but it's a deal-breaker for me, and I haven't seen it on any ROM since I gave up my MT4G. I rely on voicemail->email provided by my work, and the wavs ("µ-Law 2.1, MONO, 8.000 kHz") that I now get can't be played. They were working on airfluip1's ROM. On the MT4G I found a couple of work-arounds.

I'm going to wipe and start over to make sure, but I was wondering if this problem is too esoteric to matter, or if Raver can explain why it might be.

Loving my GS4G more than yesterday!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dardack:
OK I'm coming from the previous octane. The other octane had an ICS theme, these seems to be a GB/ICS combo theme or something? Did I do something wrong?

Also before, I didn't get the T-Mobile animation shutting down, I do now, is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twystn:
As far as the ICS launcher is concerned, you can reinstall it with titanium backup. The reason the jingle is back and TW launcher is because Raver stated he wanted

to make a stock with tweaks fort people to like that and a "brain melt" edition for the others. Tehgyb also posted the Galaxy SII shutdown a couple pages back and the directions to push it if you want to get the shutdown from 2.X
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dardack:
Ahh, sorry I went back like a few pages, but musta been even farther, sorry.

Um I kinda like the GB launcher more on this phone, then ICS. I'll see.

Also, the shutdown doesn't bother me, was just making sure I didn't mess something up.
