I am on 1.0.3 and i am no facing this problem

I can toggle between mass storage mode ,mtp mode,

and there is no returnig back to desktop

This rom has no issues as ever

IF U R HAVIN ANY ISSUES U R DOIN SOMETHING WRONG

DO A REINSTALL WITH ALL THE WIPES SUGGESTED IN FIRST POST

JUST SYNC WITH GOOGLE ACCCONT

DONT USE BACKUP DO EVERY THING MANULLY

DONT CHANGE KERNEL USE THEONE WHICH COMES WITH THE ROM

I DO THIS WHEN I HAVE ISSUES WITH ROM

I THINK THIS SHOUDLD SOLVE UR PROBLEM

AMD IMP

BEFORE FRESH INSTALL USE ULTIMATE KERNEL CLEANING SCRIPT

AFTER ALL THE SYSTEM WIPES
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karan999:
are you connecting your device to your desktop computer/laptop first and then configuring the settings ?

if so, first switch to usb storage mode and then connect the usb cable to your phone.

you do not need to reinstall the rom or do a full wipe/factory reset again.

just try clearing your dalvic cache and retry.

if nothing else helps, then proceed with a full wipe and install the rom again.

use the stock kernel(incase you've changed to something else).its performing very good as far as my experience is concerned.

i can confirm, i am having no issues with usb storage as of now.

The issues i have faced are after doing a full wipe and installing the rom.

Haven't fiddled with the kernel too.

After a day, i did a dalvic cache cleanup,fixed permissions,cleaned battery stats.

Now everything feels smooth.lots of issues resolved.

By sharing all these issues i (and other members on the forum) have faced during first install, we are by no means blaming the developer for a bad built up.

Its good to share the info and learn something new.All of this information can be clubbed and shifted to the first/second post helping new members to resolve commonly faced issues.

Do not type comments on the forum in capitals. It shows anger. if you want to stress on a particular topic, use bold or italics or simply

underline your point

.

there is no bad in accepting something that you don't know and quickly learn it, rather than pretending that one knows everything.

So lets provide a helping hand on the forums.

Regards,

Karan.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] meniak:
Could be totally wrong here, but I think it's the kernel tat makes 1.0.3. less smooth than 1.0.2. I changed kernel and everything is as smooth or smoother than 1.0.2.

Am using Dorimanx kernel now, seems extremely smooth.

edit: Guess I think it's extremely smooth. :)

Can somebody confirm if this ROM include Sense Recent Tasks Mod?

Sorry man if i offended someone

typing in capital was only to make a point

I am a newbee and always be a newbee cause i learn a lot frm this forum

I can cone t my phone to pc via usb andchange modes ie can switchbetween mass storage and mtpwithout anyproblems so idont think u hav to conect via mass storage as a compuldion i use win 7 and i can change modes without disconecting the cable
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mcdanish:
ashwaa, this thread is FULL of people having issues, so please, don't use CAPITALS when telling me that this ROM has no issues. I AM used to problems but are having issuese, so (censored). If you can't help, don't post.

078gregory, it should not be necissary to download an app to go into mass stoarge.... Remember, this ROM is perfect, according to ASHWAA ;=) I have never tried a ROM that demanded that -I am thankful for this ROM; it is BEAUTIFUL, but look at this thread! It needs fine tuning. I am not complaining, I am a superleecher at this forum, I can't make a ROM if my life depended on it, so I am happy others want to share. I am out, changing ROM since I need the mass storage thing to work. Thanks all for helping.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nickwarn:
I agree with ashwaa, for me this is perfect. Zero issues with mounting sd card with pc, both external and internal show up(using MTP). Havent had on fc or hang up, gps works and locks within seconds, fast and stable. Didnt install with full wipe this time so i couldnt say if that raises any issues, i just wiped cache and dalvik and then updated the rom.

But i agree with you, one shouldnt have to use third party apps to get basic things working. But as it works for some and some not i would say user errors. if its not related to clean install, but as i understood it thru out the thread the issues is spread over both thoose who have updated and thoose who have fully wiped.

Sorry your having trouble, but over in HTC mania thread there is not anyway near as many complaints about stuff as here. And it is a much more active thread then this one. And they seem happy

Good luck with your troubles

Why is it that I cant pick separate wallpaper for lockscreen and background and I have some galaxy s2 wallpapers that in other ROMS i can set the whole picture as wallpaper and here in this one I have to cut it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] meniak:
I don't get some people on here either sometimes. Most of us don't have any problems with this rom and if we would encounter any problems, we would format system, data, maybe reflash a stock rom via Odin and start flashing with a fresh start.

Now on the other hand there's a bunch of people that don't do research before flashing their fist rom, don't like reading, just flash away stuff without actually knowing what they're doing, than start whining something's not working and instantly pointing towards a rom-problem without ever thinking they're the problem...

Please guys, do some research, do a clean install, try out some stuff yourself ( you should be smart enough to realise if 100 people don't have issues and you do the problem is probably on your end) and ask a question nicely instead of acting like a little kid that doesn't get an ice-cream.

I think with some people's attitude here and the way they want everything handed to them without actually do a search, the way they think problem is always on the developer's end instead of theirs, those people shouldn't be flashing a custom ROM to begin with and should just stay with what Samsung pre-installs on their phone.

A2DP BT Profile not working

Has anybody else discovered this with this ROM? I can connect devices offering handsfree or headset profiles but when attempting to connect A2DP profiled devices it appears to pair but then returns the device to the unpaired list. If I attempt another pair then I get a message saying 'Couldn't pair with <device name> because of an incorrect PIN or passkey'.

This has happened on two separate A2DP devices.

Keen to hear your thoughts
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karan999:
make sure to mention the operating system you are using.

Also restart your device and configure the settings first(not mandatory but 'preventions better than cure ! ').

i am having no problems with the 'usb storage' connection.Im using windows XP SP3.

And i believe it works perfectly on Windows Vista/7 too.

As far as linux destros are concerned (like Ubuntu 10.10 that i have), you need to install some drivers(as i learnt after googling) and then pair your device.

xda is always a learning experience.make it valuable.

Calm down :D Next time contact the forum mods to report such behavior.

if somethings to be specified publicly, lets stick to the 'rom' topic.

Zero issues ? Sure, after using the rom since 2 days, i believe its 99% true.

but im still getting 'failure to fetch video list' errors in galary.

So is that a rom issue ? Not at all. i believe, google galary is restricted to read only some file formats.

We can all work together to fix them and upgrade the rom !

That's just one example of things i experienced. many got resolved after a dalvic cache cleanup and fixing permissions after a second reboot.

So lets not recommend everyone full wipes again and again and reinstalling the rom which is not at all necessary.

We should infact perfectly know how does the dalvic cache function.

Dalvic cache is stored in the /data/dalvik-cache directory.

Dalvic VM (in android to be specific) is register based VM unlike java VM that is stack based.

When you install an application it performs some modifications and optimizations on that application's dex file

the dex file that contains all the dalvik bytecode for the application.

It then caches the resulting odex (optimized dex) file in the /data/dalvik-cache folder, so that it doesn't have to perform the optimization process every time it loads an application.

This is some info about dalvic cache i learnt years ago.

Also, the JIT is not present by default on android devices(correct me if im wrong).

So to reduce the response times(faster boot-ups,better overall performance, etc) the dalvic cache is cleared.

So whats the difference between normal wipe and dalvic cache cleanups ?

Normal data wipe clears all the system files and apps pre-installed excluding the ones installed from the market.

Dalvic cache clears the app data installed from the android market.

This might differ from the rom to rom but in 99% of the cases, its exactly the same.

haven't tried this.will report back if i face any issues.

i personally think is should work properly.

Regards,

Karan.

I dont think the google gallery video issue is a gallery isue

this rom is cm9 aokp based and cm9 dosent support multi codec till now as the samsung roms do so it is upto the cm9 developers to support their rom in multicodec form so yhat yhe gallery can see all file formats

Cause the gallery only sees video it supports and d can play

Hi...

Dont really think that the MTP USB storage problems have something to do with NEO's work...

If i connect the phone to my office computer, i have problems, but, when i connect to my personnal laptop or my personnal computer at my house, i see the 2 storages without any problem... So, see first if in the computer that u are ustued to connect your phone, if u dont have something that have changed since the last ROM install...

Hope i have helped u... Give it a try in another computer and u will see!!!

Its the best ICS Rom that i have tried till now... Even if i have some battery drain, but that, i must learn how to do the battery callibrating thing... hahahahahaa

Keep up the good work NEO!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] karan999:
hmm...can be true.cant say. i have to explore aokp more to get into the roots.

that said, i still believe google has imposed some limitations to the galary too.

@all,

For people facing issues mounting both internal and external sd cards :

install multi mount sd card app from the market here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rafoid.multimountsdcard.widget&hl=en

go back to your homescreen.(assuming that you have already selected mass storage mode) from system settings -

tap Menu>Add>widget>select multimount usb.

open the multimount sd card app again > click on add a widget button and go back to homescreen.

plugin the usb cable to phone and tap the widget on the homescreen u just created.

Do not use default android mass storage from the notification that pops up.

Now click on the widget you've created and NjOy !!!

Both your sd cards are shown on your computer.

Screenshots :

karan.

I'm the only one who has 0 problem connecting my phone to my pc and accessing both internal and external sd, BUT still my phone's external sd card is still mounted to root/emmc instead of root/sdcard/external_sd/. So most of my apps on my phone, can't access the external sd card.

Anyone can help me with this issue? To be totaly honest, somehow i managed to make it work in the past, but it's not working again. I even tryed to flash this patch: Hydra-H2o_mount_FIX-MTP.zip, and i did a full wipe/cache/darvik, but still no luck.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mcdanish:
meniak, I am sorry for posting my problem here and annoy you, it will not happen again. FYI, I am on my 5th Android, all have been rooted and all have been under different and frequently changing ROMs. I DID as clean an install as I could. First the SuperWipe, then the kernelcleaning script, then flashing the ROM, rebooting recovery, then a new kernel, in that order, first on my own, second AND third time suggested from other members in here. So I am not the novice you label me as. I spend HOURS reading FAQs, instructions (which may or may not vary from ROM to ROM, but better safe than sorry) before picking out andtrying a new ROM. I try a non-wipe first if that is the recipe, then a total clean install next if I am having issues. If you were the guy who sold me a TV, you can be sure I tried everything I and others may have suggested in order to solve the problem, updated to latest available firmware and THEN I ask you. So yes, I DID read and research before trying this ROM. And how come so many other people have problems, did they skip the reading too? ;=)

-use gallery from gapps, named "googlegallery.apk". it is easier to flash a theme over it that way

-set fileexplorer.apk to the extras folder plus add more managers to that folder, like solid explorer beta and total commander. So people can choose which the prefer

For sure it is.. Full wipe is always recommended as far as u r coming from another ROM.. if u have a nandroid backup for a previous H2O version restore it and install the new version over it.

Is there a way to choose the camera saving location for new pictures eg internal/external sd?

Any thoughts

How can I install update without losing my settings and all that stuff? Is it even possible?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] N0stalgic:
To update a ROM, just simply wipe cache and dalvik cache and you're good to go. If you are facing some problems by doing this step, then you may need to do a complete wipe.

If you are coming from another ROM on the other hand, it is strongly recommended to do a full wipe. However I have tried not doing a full wipe (just wipe cache and dalvik cache) when flashing a different ROM and it still worked for me. It depends really.

I have updated from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 and i have wiped both the caches i am on the neo kernel which came with the rom

Thanks for the ROM.. I'm using the first release of the rom.. 1.0.1

and now decide to try the 1.0.4.. The rom are superb.. like it very much.

The only thing the rom come with LPS modem which is not so great in my area.

but its not a big deal.. because it is easily to replace with the new Modem.

the NELP3 is the best for me.. :)

Once again you top your previous build! Nice work man. absolute love the new default dpi, never played so much with dpi settings. Sure, i have tried Insanity and tried changing once or twice myself but always found 240 dpi to be the best for me, but i sure could get used to 210.

All is working fine, fast and stable, gps locks and so on. Only thing i changed is kernel, i found Hydra 7b to be smoother then the new one. I absolute love that kernel, seems like my phone is always on its toes with it and it has great battery life.

Thank you for all your hard work
