Several months ago, there was a huge discussion about the "battery calibration." There was even an article which is mentioned several times in the General section of this forum basically saying there is NO NEED for a battery calibration... I even believe this discussion is either in a sticky or the wiki... If you had searched properly, you would know this already...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
In his defense, though it is officially said that it does nothing, I still calibrate my battery after a new flash. I don't know why but I feel as though my battery irons itself out faster.

That may just be a placebo effect but it can't hurt so why not?

OK nevermind, Now im stuck on Setup Connection forever. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
This never works for me on the first try. What I do is unplug and pull the battery. It will put you in another download mode that will allow this awesome one click to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anon1ski:
That is exactly what i just did. It happened by accident but worked perfectly. You literally have to make it so your phone wont boot into anything other than that different download mode. At least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I looked in the stickys and the wiki and didn't see anything it may be there and I just didn't see it I'll look again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Use search! The article was written by a google developer. Wiping battery statistics does not give you any battery benefits. Think about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I could have sworn I updated the OP to fix this issue... I'll have to check.

But none-the-less, for the 1-Click, you have to start the 1-Click first before putting your phone in download mode Then connect the phone to your PC and reboot to download mode. I always use this method and it never fails. I have tried putting the phone in dl mode first then start the app, and it fails EVERY time... It's an Odin thing...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
is it normal for the phone to boot back into stock ROM after flash custom ROM? because thats what happen to me. i did the gremlin remover, then flashed custom ROM and then it reboot back into stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
That is not normal. It sounds like your flash didnt take.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
how can i fix or prevent this from happening?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
What custom ROM did you flash?

EDIT: Nevermind.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
SCOM V3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
That isn't normal at all. You did something wrong, or have a bad downloaded custom ROM. Try redownloading your ROM and install. What ROM are you trying to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I have feeling he used custom option in aroma installer and it didnt flash the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
i flashed the SCOM v3. i just choosed the first option in the aroma installation

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

i did redownload the rom again. and flashed the newly download rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
What is scomv3? It's that ROM for the sgs4g? Make sure you are flashing a ROM for the right phone or you will hard brick and be screwed...

Nm... Check your options...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Sweet Child O' Mine v.3 erikmm's rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
The rom is Sweet Child Of Mine V3. look in the Dev Section. I flashed it using the recommending method.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Yes, I figured it out after I posted that. Did oyu let your phone boot completely after flashing the 1-Click? I would suggest, if you are having problems flashing erik's ROM, you may want to ask him.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
Yes I did. Followed exactly what the instructions said for the 1-click AND the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Try flashing a newer Kernel before flashing the rom. I flashed scom this morning also. With the GR kernel i couldnt format /system.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
Should I flash kernel before doing GR or after GR and then flash rom?

As in: flash kernel (rc3 kernel) -> do GR -> flash rom (SCOM v3)

OR

Do GR -> flash kernel (rc3) -> flash rom (SCOM v3)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Sorry, accidently hit thanks. Free thanks for you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
i do gr, kernel, rom. reread the op for scom also. Changes have been posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Bear in mind that when you flash a ROM it will install whatever kernel comes with the ROM. If you're wanting a certain ROM with a particular kernel, you'll need to flash the ROM, then the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
SCOM v3.5 already has rc3. So shud I do GR and just flash or GR then flash rc3 kernel and the flash ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
gr, kernel, scom. the kernel is needed to perform the format /system listed in the op. you can pm me if you want. no need to hijack Thomas' thread. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
No you always flash rom then kernel if you want a different kernel. Same with radio you flash the rom then the radio. If you flash those things first you will overwrite them with whatever the rom has.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Please read back. Kernel b4 rom is just to be able to format /system. Has nothing to do with the rom or what to change after.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
i dont think i got my answer to my question. about my phone rebooting back to stock after flashing SCOM after GR. we just kind of went off thread
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Well since the rom has aroma you don't have to worry about mounts or formatting. The installer will take care of it for you.

If you do a customized install you can also avoid installing the kernel and modem packaged with the ROM so you can keep the version you installed.

There is one exception. If you want to keep BLN support, you WILL need to flash RC3 after installing a rom since I integrated the BLN library into the ROM using the CWM installer. By RC4 the kernel alone will install this library file for you regardless of how you install it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
so what should i do if it reboots into stock rom after i flashed the custom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Make sure you flash the right thing. Download all the files again and reflash everything .

Sent from my SGH-T959V
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
i still get stock reboot after flashing custom rom. i downloaded a fresh rom and reflashed it after GR and still reboots into stock, then i would have to go back into recovery and reflash the custom rom, AND then it well finally go thru
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Same thing has been happening to me with SCOM. I'm not sure why...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Are you allowing the phone to COMPLETELY boot and sit for 10 minutes after running GR? Or are you trying to flash your ROM right after it boots into recovery?

I said in the OP, it will boot and Linda will do her thing, voodoo lagfix may boot into recovery for a moment, then reboot and Linda will do her thing meaning it may run twice. After that, the phone will reboot into stock KG4. You don't have to wait the full 10 minutes till you can flash your ROM, but I would suggest it.

Basically, wait until the phone boots into the ROM before you get flash happy...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
I had same problem. Used the GR, then flashed SCOM and it booted into stock. So what I did was boot into cwm, flash it again, but this time didn't use custom install just quick. Try to format system, cache and data before flashing the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I follow the directions in the OP exactly how they are written and have always had 100% success with this very helpful tool.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
i followed exactly what the OP says too. i always wait 10-15 mins after it boots into stock from GR, then i adb or reboot into recovery and flash the rom, with the first option, then i reboot it and it boots into stock, then i reboot into CWM then reflash the rom again and it finally works after.

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

EDIT: i never take shortcuts! i always follow the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Well, if you are following the OP correctly, then it is all I can do. You need to talk to erik and address the issue with him. My guess would be something in the difference in kernels and the second flash is necessary so the kernel and ROM will install properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Yeah I always let it sit. Sometimes half an hour. I completely follow the OP.

Yeah I've done the double flash, and that works for me also. It's just weird. Never had the prob with vb, unnamed... Someone posted a little bit ago about it happening to them with vb2.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
I really think it has something to do with the kernel flasher. In the updater-script (flashing script) kernel is the last thing to be flashed. There might be the need to move it to the front of the flashing line so the phone can reboot on the new kernel and then continue with the ROM install. Either way, this is NOT a Gremlin Remover issue. If your phone is booting to stock after you run the 1-Click, then GR has done its job. However, as a curtesy, I will make a new 1-Click with an updated kernel and see how that works.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
You're right, it's not A GR issue, sorry to use this thread. I think it's something with Aroma. We'll see now that FB has a new one and it get's incorporated into new releases. Thanks Thomas! :)

Edit: As a FYI, I also tried installing SCOM after Bryan's one-click; Raver's stock + root w/ kj1; various combinations all with the same results. GR is perfect as is! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
@thomas.raines

Just in case, I'm not complaining. Is just a thing that has happened. I'm very glad of the GR. Really it makes it very easy to hack a phone. Thanks for this and if you are going to make some changes, then thanks in advance. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
I think i figured it out by accident. Aroma is backing up and reinstalling data from GR with whatever ROM people are installing. So when I booted into a new ROM after GR, the stock wallpaper would be staring back at me. Made me think the ROM didn't install correctly. I never bothered to look to see what was actually on the phone. This also explains why when formatting everything before running aroma, install looked fine. There's nothing for aroma to back up and reinstall... So, backup data however, choose custom when installing and uncheck the data backup box.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
So you did a quick install and aroma still did a /data backup??? Can you verify this for me please. Make sure that it says "backing up data" and "restoring data" in the text that appears during an install.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Running now. Did not back up data with quick install. What I think is happening is that with custom, the data restore forms a sort of ROM hybrid. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

I don't think you would notice it if you were upgrading your current ROM. But restoring data from a different ROM creates the hybrid.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Yes, that's what's supposed to happen, since that's what you asked it to do. It grabs whatever is in /data at that moment (the gremlin remover's /data) and then restores it. You can just do a factory wipe/reset in CWM to clean out /data again if that ever happens to you again.

Just try to be a little more careful. A lot of the problems that you guys are reporting with aroma lately have been due to users' choices. I've been trying to be careful to not release buggy software since a lot of roms are using AROMA now and I don't want to introduce issues to already stable roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
Yeah, I get it now. Bottom line, GR and Aroma are doing exactly as advertised. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
If I do GR while on CM7, do I have to convert from BML to MTD again? And if so, is there another way where I can still do GR and still stay on MTD?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Not sure and No.

GR is based on a stock rom using BML, there isnt a GR one click yet based on MTD.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Yes you will have to convert back to mtd if you desire as gr wipes all your major partitions (system, cache, data, etc) and installs GB 2.3.5.

No, I have not, nor do I intend to create a gr for cm7
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
First off, listen to eollie... Second, search a little bit... If you go to the cm7 thread you will find an answer... Because i am feeling nice tonight, i will help you.

remove battery from phone and un plug it from pc

Hold the power button and both volume buttons

Plug phone into pc

insert battery

You should now be in download mode

Release all buttons...

Make sure you start gr first before booting to download mode or it might fail...

You can use use root explorer or any other similar program. (If using root explorer u have to toggle the r/w in the upper right to edit anything u need root access to do)

In your file browser navigate to system/usr/keylayout and select s3c-keylayout.kl file and open in a text editor or in file manager text editor.

Dedicated camera button for opening and usage.

Find the "key 217 SEARCH" line.Delete SEARCH and replace it with CAMERA in caps. (This will work fine with alternate wake)

This will open the camera and when clicked in the camera app take a pic or start/stop the video recording.

Alternate wake buttons.

After the BACK and SEARCH (or CAMERA if you changed it to that) entry type in capital letter with underscore "WAKE_DROPPED".Then save it and reboot. Now the "search" then "back" combo key will wake phone from sleep to the lockscreen every single time for a week or two that I have been trying it.

Enjoy.

Should look like the pic below if you've done both mods.

If you're using root explore, when you got to the folder, on the top tab R/W button. This grant read/write access, the press and hold down the file with your finger then choose Open text editor, once done you should able to save it. Your phone must be rooted in order to do this.

Hi..

When i'm recording the video i see these black horizontal lines moving upwards which is really annoying. I've been facing this problem from my first video recorded. And the other issue with display is when i open options menu on any white/light colored background(specially during browsing) i notice the screen flickers.This problem disappear on high or very very low brightness.I'm using the device for two months now.Anybody else facing or faced such problems.What is the solution to this?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] NEO-xx:
Me too :-(

Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] muqtarbaig:
Well what i have discovered with the video recording issue seems to be with the fluorescent lighting. I've tested it very well and turning on the tube light (fluorescent lamp) causes the dark rolling lines in video. Now I want to know if this occurs only in few mobiles with any particular bug? Can you guys check this and confirm? Also is this a hardware or software related bug?

And i still don't have any clue about the display flickering on touching the menu and back options area of the screen.

Any help would be of great use to solve this issue.

Regards

Baig();
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] muqtarbaig:
Are you using the stock ROM. Did you ever try other ROM's and test if this was a software bug of stock ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nRoof:
To solve screen flickering problem you can go to Settings -> Display, and uncheck "Auto adjust screen power" option. I guess this option works like "dynamic contrast" option in PC monitors, by lowering screen brightness in some scenes. This may save some battery life, but the side effect is screen flickering during some animations, etc.

And I think that issue with fluorescent light occurs on a lot of digital cameras.
