Knowing Raver will be releasing the Revamp when he does -

Those interested in getting drm videos to play on VB Final-Fixed - i.e. Inception - download the attached [DRM.rar].

Extract the contents on your computer and copy the two folders - [drm] & [.drm] - to your sdcard.

Then copy the two folders - [drm] & [.drm] - to \system\etc\security\

Make sure you are set to r/w.

I did not have to reboot, fix permissions or anything. Went to videos and Inception finally played.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
It works. Thanks man.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
How do you play the video after you push those folders i also have the original files and still cant get it to work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Open your video apparently and select Inception. It will play if you pushed the files correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Rebel_X:
Thanks.. Inception works :)

Edit: For those that this doesn't work for them, you have to mount "system" as writable. File Expert didn't work for me (Although I changed the permissions to read/write), but ES File explorer did it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
Thanks finally got it working now only if I can get it to stream to my tv
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You can. Use camcorder cables - switch the yellow with red, and turn on tv out in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdbruton23:
Ok I'm new to rooting I've rooted and flashed kernel but don't know how to flash ROM s or what I need to do it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Follow the first link in my Signature and follow the guide where applicable to state of your phone. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Rebel_X:
For DRM videos, you can't. I tried that, and it gave some message that says I can only watch the movie on my phone. Other non-DRM will work though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
I am having problems with my signal. I have strong signal and can make calls and send text but when I want to browse the web or Facebook, it doesn't connect. It takes a long time for it to load. Anyone have this problem or has had? It connects faster with wifi but when its off wifi, it takes a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Flash other modem?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
How fresh is the ROM? I see you asking questions in a ton of threads about this and that. If you are flashing tweaks and ROMs on top of each other you need to start over beginning with the Gremlin Remover.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
Which modem is the best?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
I just flashed the VB final after I did the gremlin and flashed the tweaks after
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Tweaks? Plural?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Do a factory reset and see if that helps - unless you previously had this problem prior to this flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
He could of done adrenaline shot + beats audio making it plural lol

if you ain't first you're last :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I call those MODs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Which begs to question what's the difference between a tweak and a mod?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Lol but it's called scroll tweak lol and agree to disagree I call em tweaks lol

if you ain't first you're last :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
I flashed the VB final and flashed ligthing zap (newest one) and then flashed the lagfree and then flashed the lightening zap upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ooohhaaahh:
i'm getting the " android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly"

i'm not sure how to get the log file, but i've tried restoring, flashing back from stock to a fresh install, deleting the cache or app data.

it still gives me that message, i googled and tried everything that fixed it for others.

i don't have google plus, tried removing the calenders, how do i get a log dump?

so i can receive help from a dev or try to figure out what is causing this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
That happens when you freeze or delete a core app like calendar. Did you freeze or remove calendar or any other core app?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Yentzel-HD:
I'm bothering much hehe:D but because I can not download the file
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
EDIT - Why can't you download the file? Click on ui.rar and it should download. I just tried it and the link still works.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
IF he is doing it from his phone sometimes the stock browser and even third party apps refuse to download unless it finds a app that can open it. I was having that problem with firefox and xscope until I found where the default zip handler app was set to nothing and reset it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drdoombot:
I recently used Gremlin Remover to get my phone back to stock. I was on it for about a week, and Voodoo Lagfix was set to:

Voodoo lagfix is actually: enabled
next boot: enabled

But after flashing VB Final-Fixed (to the letter!), it now reads:

Voodoo lagfix is actually: disabled
next boot: enabled

I've tried enabling it several times, but it won't stick. This happened to me on my last 2-3 installs of VB Final. Any ideas on what keeps going wrong or how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
That is how it is. When you boot into ROM it is enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drdoombot:
Oh.

And here I was hoping that was the cause of the lag I'm experiencing. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ooohhaaahh:
it would even do that on a clean install or from the older nandroid backups i had.

i just kept restoring from backup (and odin'ing when it wouldn't boot) and it finally stopped. the problem had started out of no where, from what i saw on the internet it could have been a corrupt contact (the data the file has could have an extra space causing it to be corrupt), but i didn't do any editing to my contacts and it synced to the google servers.

so far no problems.

also my quad scores are 1869 with the universal adrenaline shot v14, undervolted and no overclock. is that normal

Stuck in CWM?

Hi Guys,

I've been screwing with this for quite some time and I really would like to have my phone back, so any help is always appreciated.

I was trying to use the Heimdall one-click suite (I only have access to a Mac) but it kept giving me rainbow screens. So I then found another link to a Heimdall Package that somebody had made with Valhalla Black, and I was able to flash CWM onto my phone and then it started installing Valhalla Black for me, viola!

Alas, I am stuck in CWM. No matter how many times I install a ROM, it will not leave CWM. If this is like a stupidly simple solution, I'm going to hate myself, but it doesn't seem like it is?

Also I saw that same error about the missing file, but only after I had tried to install from the SD card multiple times in a row.

Please let me know how to fix this!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
The rainbow screen on boot means you didn't flash GB bootloaders

if you ain't first you're last :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tigertrussell:
Yeah but if you read the post, I was able to get out of the rainbow screen and get into CWM.

I can even go through the GUI installer for Valhalla Black, but once its done installing and restarts I can't get out of CWM Recovery.

I even found something online that was supposed to reset boot flags to get it un-stuck and I flashed that, too, but I'm still stuck in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Regrdless of what you have read or done - to flash VB correctly you need to use the one-click and flash twice since you were on Froyo before - second time with bootloaders. Then flash VB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tigertrussell:
Unfortunately every time I try to flash with bootloaders it says that uploading the PIT file failed and then it doesn't do anything else.

I've tried this many times with the same outcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I gave you recommendations in the guide thread. Then you posted that the post was meant for another thread. That happens to people. It doesn't mean it won't work - you just have to keep trying. Using a fresh USB port that you have never plugged your phone in to is the most common remedy.

You can also try FB's Ext 4 Starter Pack that uses ODIN as an alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tigertrussell:
I only have access to a Mac, so I don't imagine that would work. I've tried many different USB ports and even different USB cables.

Something really weird just happened... I did the one-click and let it run through, then there were some errors saying it couldn't mount /data (I think I may have ****ed this up at some point), then it was back in the typical android recovery thing so I hit "reboot" and it rebooted back into CWM.

This is so frustratingggg lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Heimdall works on Mac's. Getting frustrated is probably what is messing you up. You should delete everything (uninstall ALL drivers, one-click download, all), reboot, re-download KJ6 One-Click and start over.

Or as I said try the Starter Pack.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tigertrussell:
Heimdall works on Macs, yes. What I was saying is the starter link you sent is for Windows and Odin, and since I only have Heimdall and a Mac I don't get how it would work.

I re-downloaded and nothing has changed. Mrahhh. I've tried two cables, every port, uninstalled, reinstalled, redownloaded, etc. When I try to do a second flash w/ Bootloaders on the one-click, the PIT file never gets uploaded. Tried like 1,000 times (on multiple USB ports with multiple cables).

Has nobody else had this much trouble?

*Edit*

When I do try to flash with the one-click Heimdall, it says "failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)" and "discard_filesystem_for_rfs: Can't mount /data." Do I need to have the Mounts / Storage set up in a particular way on CWM? I'm also still confused as to how the Android system recovery (3e) is on my system after doing this as WELL as CWM (if I restart from 3e I go to CWM).

*Second Edit*

When I use the "Back-to-Stock" one-click for heimdall I get stuck in the stock recovery menu. Phone won't boot.

*Third Edit*

Just tried a ROM from Froyo just to see if it might be an issue with bootloaders or something (I don't REALLY understand it) and same issue: stuck in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
The rom is running great for me but battery life isn't that good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I am curious how many posts you have talking about battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
Haha that's pretty much all I've been concerned about because my girlfriend got her phone taken so we can only email and that uses up a lot of battery so I need the best battery life I can get
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
It is all boils down to how you set up the phone and apps then how you use the phone. I get great battery on VB. So do many others. But I have to tweak a lot of things like autostarts and auto-sync intervals. Make sure GPS, Sync and WiFi are off when not using, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
For better battery life should I flash the nooster shot for this or no and also would the scrolling tweak have a good or bad effect on battery. Lol i know I ask about battery alot
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Booster will help battery. Not sure about scroll tweaks I doubt they would hurt it. And third and most important buy a bigger battery.:D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I'm gonna have to flash the booster then. I already have the 1800mah battery lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
You should get amazing battery life :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I usually do until I start using gmail gtalk
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
8 hours and I still have 70% left that's with using gtalk a lot and some emails. That's pretty good battery life lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Damatiru:
I couldn't find anything in this thread about associating the new google search (the one that resembles light ICS) instead of the traditional one when pressing the capacative search button. Is that something that he will be changing in his next build?

It turns out this way when installing and choosing not to wipe data
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Delete search apk in system/app and push new google search u want to same folder and reboot :)

if you ain't first you're last :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Damatiru:
Thank you, it worked. The other issue I am having that I haven't seen come up in this thread is with Swype. I did a custom install and chose to install with my apps. Swype did not carry over and so I installed the Beta.

"The application Swype (process.com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" appears everytime I press on a text box. Is the previous version still somewhere on the phone and causing this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
I believe there's a lib called swype core that is needed but I've never used swype :/ I believe people download beta files and install it fine

if you ain't first you're last :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Completely remove anything related to swype. Boot to recovery clear dalvik cache. Reboot the phone.

Re-installed the beta files.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Damatiru:
Is there a specific folder I should be looking in for the swype related files, if you know?

EDIT: I found a thread on another phone's forum related to deleting swype

Hey lumin Ive got one more question.... when i installed black final it said to ummu.. now i got that but when i had to format cache data and sytem it changed the mounts.. now was i supposed to change them back?? cause i did.. Now i dont know if this was discussed on the thread cause there was to much needless blather on the original thread.. if it was sorry to bring it up again... but any way the mounts changed and i put them back to ummu
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Mystic your fine. Since you changed them back before flashing(even though it MAY not really matter). Once you flashed the ROM changes them. Leave them and you'll be fine.

Does the final.zip have a shutdown animation?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Haven't flashed yet... but if you look in the Final.zip file in \system\media\video\shutdown - the folder is empty.

If you have the BlackEdition.zip file in \system\media\video\shutdown - shutdown.qmg is in the folder.

If you would like me to upload - let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harrison85:
I am by far not a noob in flashing android (user since the g1) but man this phone has gremlins. Anyway..

I flashed the final.zip like I have done all the previous releases.

SD mounts fine after install(in android)

But doing the final it will mount only if I reboot wipe cache dalvik and fix perm. That is a temp fix as when I reboot it wont mount again.

But in CWM I have 0 issues with SD.

Now plesse flame me if I missed this issue. But it seems (so far) local to only me And my device. I checked SD card reformatted and made ext4 still doesn't work. But when I revert to previous all is well, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
let me clarify this after you install the rom do not change the mount to ummu It only applys to install (made moot after the new installer and i fixed the mount errror issue with the installer cwm.

What it looks like people are doing and why its soft bricking is after install you unmounting the system so when you boot you soft brick because the kernel cannot mount system... Because YOU UNMOUNTED IT.....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gorillaz1:
What's a GUI installer exactly? And I installed the update just before final and got everything set up on the phone....and now if I install the Final is it going to wipe all that out again?

Is there a way to do install and keep my settings or am I just gonna have to suck it up?

Btw love the eye wallpaper and just the ROM in general. Coming from working with Revolver on my Asus Transformer I can tell this has a similar level of eye for detail. Nice job.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Audiophiliac1221:
GUI is graphic user interface. Its how a user interacts with software. Basically instead of the installer running through scripts by istself, it allows you to interact with the process.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LadyGlockenspiel:
I'm a little confused about the install directions. is the final.zip still flashable in cwm? what does Raver mean by GUI installer?

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

ah I see. that makes since now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
If your already on a previous version try what I did. I can't be sure it will work for you but it worked for me. go to cwm and don't wipe or mount. install final. the installer will come up. choose to not wipe data. finish installing. reboot. Worked like a charm for me. All apps where as I left them. If that doesn't work just wipe it all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lubcrayon:
I have a question or more of a problem, I've been using UOT for a while and never experienced this till now. For some reason, when I apply my UOT theme everything but the status bar pull down changes ._. Just wondering if anybody else has this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Audiophiliac1221:
" Is there a way to do install and keep my settings or am I just gonna have to suck it up?"

I've flashed every update Raver has posted and haven't had a single issue using Tibu. Just run the batch "Backup all user apps and system data " you wont even loose your SMS / MMS and call logs :-)

I'm new to raver's audio tweaks. Is there any benefit or downside to having supercurio's paid app installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
How can I have a lockscreen and option to enter in a password currently I only have option to enter password and no lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
No downside. I have them both installed. But I can't say for sure if there is a benefit but I am sure somebody else will have a better opinion on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Which version are you on? Did you try going into system/tweaks?

EDIT: Nevermind. I can't get mine to use a lockscreen and pattern lock together.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Damatiru:
Can more lockscreen styles be added to the tweaks or is using a custom app recommended instead? Thank you guys for being so helpful with my inquiries

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
I'm having trouble on T-Mobile, and I don't know if it's this ROM, but I hadn't had trouble before this.

I can't seem to send/receive MMS, even though my internet works, on data connection.

What settings can I check (and does Valhalla set any kind of MMS settings)?

For full disclosure, I use JuiceDefender to govern my data, but I just reflashed Black and still couldn't get the MMS to download before reinstalling JD.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Have you gone into settings in the messaging app and checked 'Auto Retrieve'?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
Checked, or unchecked? I have it unchecked. It still errors out when I go to download.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
When you say reflashed did you do a full wipe and use gremlin remover? If not do that.

If you are looking for better battery life get rid of Juicedefender. Most of the sgs4g roms created by raver and dsexton have the settings used in juicdefender built in. Other than the ability to turn data on and off, which really doenst increase battery life as much as hamper it. Starting and shutting the radios down use more battery than just letting them idle. The only way JD will get more battery is if you just use the phone as a phone and not a smartphone. Increase the time between checking for notifications, manually adjust screen brightness, if you can plug the phone in do so throughout the day. Li-ion batteries aren't the old ni-cad, charging them before they are completely dead wont hurt them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
Crap, I forgot gremlin remover. I'll try to flash it again tonight.

I mean, maybe I didn't have my original ROM set up right, but I noticed a considerable jump in battery life with JD versus without it. I was getting around 12-14 hours with light-moderate usage without, and have gotten 32+ with it. I prefer not to get constant email and facebook alerts, so I toggled data to stay off until I need it for using the internet, etc.

I'm aware this on/off is probably the very thing causing my MMS problems, but.. that's why I'm trying to figure out exactly what settings need to be adjusted. Or maybe I need to come back here and make sure I'm flashing my original correctly :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Checked man ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
Well, did gremlin remover and reflashed VB. Unfortunately, it's still crapping out on me when I try to receive MMS. Internet, of course, still works famously.

There has to be some kind of settings I can look at..

However, I'm not getting the "Unsuccessful" error anymore; it just plain doesn't work, lol.

I had it unchecked, so I can actively click "download" when an MMS comes in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
wizard try this. It is a long shot but for some reason it seems to fix mms issues from time to time. Download gosms and use it as your default mms app. My old phone the "stock" messenger app wouldnt let me get mms until I used gosms then it would start working. You can uninstall it and more than likely it will work properly. Not sure why it does this just does.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizard7926:
I actually use GoSMS as my main app, but you mean I should uninstall the stock Messaging app?

Basically, my story goes like this:

- Installed VB, everything was just dandy for a while, MMS works

- Started experiencing slowdown, force closes, battery issues, MMS works

- Installed JuiceDefender, still slowdown, still force closing, battery much better, MMS begins to get spotty

- Adjusted JD settings somehow, MMS completely stops working

- Use Gremlin remover, reinstall fresh VB, left off JD.. MMS still doesn't work

I'm so perplexed, haha. What did I do that my internet works great but MMS doesn't?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
In that case it might be an APN setting.

Go into [Settings], [Wireless and network], [Mobile networks], [Access Point Names], select whatever network it shows, scroll to bottom to [APN type] and see if it says "internet + mms".
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tozo3:
Is anyone's phone freezing when you slide the SMS icon to unlock screen. using a different lock screen option now but i noticed that option was freezing my phone
