I will make a video like for CM9 this afternoon and i will show that EVERYTHING is working and so damned good, fast and smooth, so if someone have some strange issues is not due to the rom but something wrong with the flashing or strange apps/mods installed inside :) (i'm thinking about a very easy noob guide too...)

and i remember that i've just flashed from a stock JVS (JVT should be the same and so other version) with JVT modem of course..and it's not flashed from a CM7 or CM9 first because i always make a full wipe/factory reset from a clean install just because starting from something not stock COULD give some bugs/issues which are not present...and i can say this after 1 full day testing with 234 APPS installed inside ;)

I just check my APN (SFR Network)

Bug

There is a bug, notifications does not respect lockscreen.

Example 1: There are market updates, screen is locked. Slide down market update notification and it will open market, you can download update and install.

Example 2: Whatsapp messages, same behavior.

Example 3: Same for settings.

Easy to reproduce.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avivhaiser:
how much drain? and what are the settings you put in? (im still considering it even though i dont think ill go for it since i had problems with 0.7.5)

Don't think it has anything to do with the hardware. I think its the same issue with the screen unlock that don't react some times (that you have to wait).

Upgraded successfully from 4.1 to 4.2 without doing a wipe.

+1 for IMEI getting corrupted again - managed to get it back from the EFS Pro tar (now that I've been through the scare once before, I'm a little more confident now ;) EFS Pro can be obtained from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 )

Unfortunately since "ro.product.manufacturer" is listed as "unknown" (instead of "samsung") EFS Pro will throw a wobbly if you try and restore using the application.

So for any others, given an EFS Pro TAR backup the following will get your IMEI back:

open an administrator cmd prompt and cd to the adb directory and assuming the tar backup is called TARBACKUP.tar execute the following:

adb remount

adb push TARBACKUP.tar /sdcard/

adb shell

su

tar xv /sdcard/TARBACKUP.tar -C /

reboot

Hey guys, great work on this rom, Im still using RC3.1 , its so stable for me and awesome battery life, ive been trying other Roms out and like the AOFK and got the wifi off/on bug and no mount SD card. I also tried 4.2 No wipe, i know i know I wanted to keep all my settings, not a great exp with a no wipe so my question is

Can we back up the Email app using TB and restore ater a FULL wipe flashing version 4.2 ? Its my work email so dont want to lose anything

Thanks:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vstrtz:
Hi..

Well RC3.1 was the Bestest Rom for me. no bugs nothing.. then i went to RC4 and Lost my IMEI no... didnt had the EFS Backup!! so went back to GB stock.. then to RC3.1>RC4.2(no wipe, only cache and dalvik cleared),,.. well IMEI is there.. and m using Semaphore 0.8.0 ICS Kernel.. and is working pretty well for me.. but i aint getting the notification lights upon msg or miss call ...

can any bdy suggest me a NOOB friendly guide to backing up EFS for future :) ?

also hows the performance of Devils Kernel?? and some insights about governers will be Helpfull! :)

and BTW GREATEST GALAXY ROM EVER!!! :cool::D:D

earlier i used the darky's roms.. and moving to ICS is like a new life for galaxy s!!! Best phone with greatest ICS rom by Team ICSSGS.. THX a lot!! u guys rock !! :D :)

Your APN is OK?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GocaS6:
Ok i'll help you :), just get Nitrality app from market, and in settings you'll find "backup efs folder" and when you lose your imei, just do the same thing and in settings of nitrality you'll find "restore efs folder", nothing from your sd card will not be lost if you don't format your internal sd card. Just don't format your sd card and you'll be fine :) (when you flash the rom)

As far as Devil kernel concern - one of the best, i would recommend 14.2 VC LED2, flash it and you'll resolve your problem with notification lights also ;).

I hope that i helped :).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 6i9:
APN is fine. It shows 4 bars of network coverage.

You can have coverage without data. Check your APN under

Phone Ringer Not Working

Just installed 4.2 and all is fine. However, every time I receive a phone call the ring tone only sounds once and then nothing. I can take the call but the phone only rings one.

I have tried changing ring tones and there is nothing in the settings. I even tried rebooting, loading another kernel, re-loading the rom but nothing has fixed it?

Anyone got any ideas or is this just another bug which needs reporting??

i am going to do a full wipe install of RC4.2 on RC4.2 which i installed widout doing any wipe jus clearing the cache...

the only problems i faced so far are:

1) The Brower icon on homescreen wont work.. displays "App isn't installed". thou it works from the menu icon.

2) I got soo many duplicates of the same file names in my Music player.. and galley.. had to clear the cache of media storage and reboot to get it right.

Is this problem still exists in this ROM? sorry if i am asking a noob question :)

So thinking i might install it once more and play a lil' with other kernels .. :)

And which video player you use for this release that works the best?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdl1969:
@PaulForde, don't know if this is any use or not but I grabbed a copy of Ring_Digital_02.ogg (my fav ring tone) from a Gb build and dropped it into my RC4.1 build and the ringtone repeats as it should. Opening it up in Textpad and comparing it to the original .ogg file from RC4.1 there's a piece missing in the RC4.1 .ogg file 'ANDROID_LOOP=true'. This could be the reason why the ringtone files in ICS aren't repeating maybe?

Fantastic job you guys are doing on ICS, please keep it up!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Don MC:
Open the ring tone (.ogg file) in an application that supports metadata editing. You may have to copy it to your computer and do it for instance with Winamp. Add a metadata tag ANDROID_LOOP and set its value to "true" (without the quotation marks). Save the file and copy back to phone.

The ringtones are located in /system/media/audio/ringtones.

CWM restore problem

I've had RC4.1 with Devil's 15.1 Voodoo LED2, made nandroid backup, upgraded to RC4.2.

I wanted to restore the backup, so I went to recovery and:

- wiped cache,

- wiped dalvik,

- did factory reset,

- restored the backup.

BUT, after restart, the phone is stuck at the (colorful) bootup animation.

Tried the same procedure, but first used kernel cleaning script, flashed Devil's 15.1 Voodoo LED2 and then wiped cache etc (as listed above). Same result :(

What am I doing wrong?

Could it be that the problem is because of newer modem installed with RC4.2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nucleotide:
That does not sound good. If I were you I'd be doing a full factory reset/wipe and flash the ROM again... before something gets cooked!!!

I encountered strange issue today. After installing Market Enabler I began installing Chrome Beta. At some point my phone restarted itself and had blank IMEI after reboot. Curious, becouse EFS folder wasn't blank. After restoring EFS from backup (did it after returning my IMEI from generic one) and two reboots it went to normal. I hadn't such a problem with Market Enabler before, that was first installation on ICS though.

I just wanted to share (had backup, so no problem to solve).

Still I encourege everyone to have backup of EFS in case of such events :)

(I had no laptop and possibility to flash stock or use any other method).
