[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Virnik0:
true is, that this ROM DOES HAVE issues. like any other custom community made ROM available right now. But most of the reports I've seen here are user-related, not ROM related. Once ROM and environment is set, user do not need to use buggy features, which are present in it, because most of the faulty features are related to the custom setup (battery icons, pulldown menu reconfiguration and icon type/placement).

This is very sad. I'm not saying that this ROM is bug free, which is not. No ROM I've seen so far was bug free. But ignoring thread posts with usefull bug reports (I am talking about thread moderator and thread readers too), and posting again and again the same bug reports, makes this thread little bit messy.

But compared to the 4.0.4 ROMs found here on XDA, this one is best...It doesn't add "super über apps & features" - it is perfect just like it is. I have tried five other 4.0.4 ROMs available, and most of them had serious issues. Compared to it, DK3 and DK4 are bug-free (not exactly).

Thread moderator/author: It will be nice from you, to read whole thread for bug reports, and add their description to the buglist in the first post. It will make decision-making of the newcomers if they should use this ROM or not much more easier.

You mean to clear notices you have in pulldown menu? Sure. Look at the right upper corner of the pulldown menu, there is bigger cross-like button. Touch it. It will trash all notifications recieved till now.

Well, for last twelve years, which I've spent using Linux and other POSIX based platforms, I have learned one thing - If you'd like some feature which does not exist (at least in the form you need it to be) right now, you'll have do it yourself (write/edit/compose/anything).

So if somebody want to have this ROM with others apps except basic system apps, they'll have to make own ROM ZIP or update ZIP contaning their changes. Easy as that. For example, I really love blue color. But My SGS2 was sold with basic Samsung themed ROM, grey/green. So I made theme for it. The same with SGS some months ago...

So right now, I am starting to think that I will have to do it again for some future version of DK, maybe if it'll contain some theme engine (overwriting system apk's is relly dirty way to theme ROM).

Try midnight bigmem you can record and play 720p. However it is only 386mb.

#BUG

Found another bug

1) disable data connection

2) turn on wifi, and let it connect to the AP

3) press power, to lid off screen

4) press power, unlock your phone, and reboot

5) after reboot, wait till your wireless is connected again, and turn wireless off

6) enable data again

7) data connection (2g/3g) is not estabilished (BUG!)

8) disable data again, and reboot

9) once phone is started again, turn on data. This time it is working

So something is borked between eth0 and ppp0 devices, especially in the connection state switching itself.

Enabling/disabling wireless/(2)3g from the commandline works without issues.

This is the MOST important step to stop spamming this topic.

This is the problem with Forums.....Bugs, and Solutions are dispersed all over the topics thru hundreds of pages....

Its very important to list them clearly in the Bug list in the First Page.

I'm using V3 for 3 weeks, and despite small issues (that I can live with), its just Perfect! Thank you so Much! I will Donate very soon! You deserve it. ;)

But please keep the Bug List updated with Links to the solutions(Workarounds).

This will make your life and others life easier.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Virnik0:
Well, you should thank to the ROM's author, not me (at least it seems so, by quoting my post ;-) ). But yes, that is exactly what I've meant... I can make bigger buglist for the ROM author, to post it on the first page, to ease this step for him.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avivhaiser:
I can get a bug report page, so everyone can report their bug/ search for a bug/ see all the currently bugs/ fixed bugs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Virnik0:
what about to setup somekind of bugtracker? there are many opensource request trackers available, so it should not be a problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avivhaiser:
Like what? does samsung bug report count?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Virnik0:
Nothing from Samsung counts, cos Samsung clasically sucks, at least it's software (you know it from yourself, stock ROMs are really buggy)

I meant something like TRAC. I had it deployed on few project I have led. It is easy, lightweight, practical, and usable.

Well, every ICS room has nearly the same scan speed. Or scanning is finished within 2-5 minutes (avg.)

(Don't you think everybody would have complained had it been a common ROM problem ;) )

Wipe & flash again.

Wipe /boot, /system, /cache, /data, /datadata, dalvik cache.

Then Flash.

Application compatibility

Hi to all,

I have the same problem many people posted about.

Many application i had on v3 result now incompatibile with my device.

I think this problem concerns something with the kernel or modem,

but I have not enough knowledge to manage this issue.

please can anyone help?

thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] c6nsor9d:
Hi guys !

I first would like to thank all the people who contributed to the development of this awesome rom.

I however have an issue that I have been trying to solve for quite a while. I cannot find some apps on the play store, particularly Foursquare and Viber. I first thought that those 2 apps were not available on ICS but I've been searching on this very topic and it seems like some people have them working. My Rom is dark knight v4. Thank you in advance for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
That's a bug in DK4.

You can't manage it, only wait for next patched release.

There's a bug in DK4 (The only major bug, AFAIK).

Some apps, some 'Specific' apps, just can't be found or installed in DK4. Either through Titanium Backup, or Play Store.

Response to both quotes: Its the same bug. Either switch to DK3 for a few more days, or if you can continue, just wait for next release :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] c6nsor9d:
Okay ! I can wait ! Thank you for your quick response !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vladoots:
I will start with the mention that all highlights are mine. Followed by a THANK YOU - your points are well made. Just not entirely true.

Yes, this is the best ICS version for SGS, but only up until DK3. DK 4 was/is a

step back

, having so many ROM-related issues, which all end up to confuse the user, without a clear-cut way out.

I admit there are many noobs here, and all of them have almost no clue as to solving Android problems with scripts and settings. This in itself is an issue. Any good ROM out there should be relatively noob-proof.

It's maybe hard to do, but not impossible. Consider ROM-kitchen. It still works with Gingerbread ROMs. One can cook in a ROM whatever one can possibly want from that Android version, bug-free, and/or without extra-options.

A DK-based kitchen would be very nice, and if I were to know how to code, I would most definitely build one, no matter how short-lived it will be.

While at it, I found a better way to make DK4 run relatively problem-free:

* Do a pristine install of DK3. This means wiping the phone completely (formatting both internal and external SD cards) and following the next logical procedures - installing GB, root, installing DK3

* Take your time and re-install all the apps you wanted/had, and also personalize the interface to match your tastes

* Flash DK4 without wiping

That should be better. :)

Bug with WIFI and GPRS. After using gprs, I need to reboot my phone to make WiFi works. Also with Wifi. After using wifi, i need reboot to make gprs works.:(

Hope Nasif will fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] solar666:
I had this problem before in V3 :-( but somehow I had the feeling that it was related to using a different kernel

Is this your case as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dashqa:
Always use Semaphore kernel, this problem only on DK4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avivhaiser:
Look for emmc :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Virnik0:
Damnit ppl, read! Problem with gprs/wireless has been described just few posts back! :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
Lovely post, quite precise.

But there's just one problem... Flashing without wiping, is good when the ROM to be flashed is not too different from the existing one.

In this case, DK4 is very different from DK3. There can be multiple clashes of library files, & FCs...

But it's worth a try. If you're using it that way, you must have all your apps, but what about Play Store?

Try this:

Tell me if you can install these apps: Wolfram Alpha, Aldiko Reader, Total Pool.

I'm curious. Do let me know your result. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jecko4:
great ROM...

same bugs found though as per other threads with restarting loosing 3g connection and signal :s.. can't download certain apps on market like Viber...

but fast and speedy...

just one request apart from fixing those bugs... is it possible to have an Enter button(not Send) for stock MMS app, instead of smiley face... Regards :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avivhaiser:
Nah Imma stick to devil, i saw somewhere something about solution off the app bug, but i cant recall it now (6 freakn am and im still up) well good night ill try to find it again tomorrow
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
That really is plausible, but the kernels we have: Glitch Semaphore Midnight Devil, are really super developed, with almost all features needed!

Unless we can quickly jump to creating a better tweaked kernel, Devil's the way to go for overall beastness (smooth, all features, battery), glitch for OC & extreme stuffs, semaphore for lightweight smoothness & battery, midnight for the same. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vladoots:
Hi there! )

Yes, I know it can be problematic, but ROM was having so many (mostly illogical) problems already that I thought ”what the hell”, and I tried that, and it works.

I found and installed Aldiko (free version) - no problems.

Found & installed Wolfram Alpha from the ”alternative” market - works like a charm.

Could not find Total Pool, so I can't say, but there's no reason for it not to work.

Since I flashed DK4 over DK3, I no longer have the ”reboot while installing/restoring” issue.

I hope this helped. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
Good to hear!

Wolfram Alpha installation was a test. Did you try from Play Store? I know alternative market's can be used, but we need a good report for the bug.

What happens to Wolfram Alpha in Play Store?

But Total Pool's also a test... it shouldn't have failed...

You won't see many apps on the Store. THOSE are the apps that cause problem. & They aren't shown at all.

Please do one thing. Navigate to these directories, & give a screenshot of everything inside it:

/system/libs

& /system/vendor/

Thanks

EDIT: After a bit more digging, I see that /system/vendoe/pittpat is usually not present in any ROM.. & yet no PlayStore bug. So we MIGHT rule that out... Looking into libs...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vladoots:
WA was not visible in Play Store. I took it from Blackmarket, installed, also installed Amazon App (required by WA) - launched the app; works smoothly.

Total Pool was visible, but it required money - which I lack :) And couldn't find it someplace else. So it didn't fail, I just couldn't find its .apk

Are you kidding with the screenshots?

It would take me two full days - the list in /system/lib is absolutely huge... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
No Warez/Blackmarket talks please.

Total Pool has a free version, & a paid. Either would do.

Anyway, its not necessary anymore. & don't bother with the screenshots :)

I tried it all.. failed. No issue with /system/vending, or /system/lib.... nothing. :|

But those of you in DK4, try this. Any one of you can.

Navigate to /system/build.prop, open it as R/W, Edit.

Remove everything under SUPERCHARGER, & NULL LAG etc.

Just those parts.

Then reboot & try the restore/installation of those specific apps that I listed before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Virnik0:
Well, I had the same problem like you with Play store. So I removed Phonesky.apk and vending.apk from the /system/app, and I have copied there latest official Vending.apk from google apps. And it works flawlessly, without FC's, and I do see all apps like before with older ROMs.

Well, disabling stagefright and supercharger& NULL LAG fixes most of the problems. At least that is what I did few days back. It is enough to let GPU HW acceleration on (2D is computed via GPU, not CPU which is default), disabling JNI kernel checks, and turning on 'tunned mode' and you have phone fast like with that supercharger and stagefright thingies.

I am little bit confused, that even in theese days, somebody builds ROM with stagefright enabled by default, because it is well know that it breaks many things (know issues are from Froyo ROMs, GB ROMs...)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
Oh Good!

Can you try downloading & installing Total Pool FREE, & Aldiko Free from PlayStore?

Tell us your results...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Virnik0:
Total Pool Free installed, no problem

Aldiko Free downloaded, dalvik crashed once it tried to install it.

Until now, I haven't had any crashes during install of an app.

I'll try it with the catlog this evening, to find out what is going about. I am at work right now, so I can't play too much with phone ;-)

BTW, somebody here was reporting problem with 720p recordings. Well, after disabling stagefreight.media, it works flawlessly, no problem, no shuttering at all.

Right now, I have enabled only stagefreight.http and stagefreight.scan, others are disabled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
Sounds interesting!

Just two things left, which I would like to ask you to do, if you can.

Final test:

1) If you can restore ALL APPS+DATA, including the ones which were reported causing reboot.

2) Titanium Backs up everything perfectly or not.

That should be it.

Do report it if & when you're done.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] avivhaiser:
Great, sounds like you are heading somewhere :).

If it helps devil put script to block supercharger in the kernel already
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karneeva:
Thank you!

one more question: why there's no more access to buglist web page from the first post?

thank you again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Virnik0:
1) TiB backup (app+data) made on DK3 or older GB rom restores fine. Backups made on DK4 restores fine too (restore process ends with success), but app data is corrupted, and must be wiped out in order for apps to work

2) as said in 1), backup process ends up with success, restore too. But such apps restored from backup made on DK4 do not work, it has corrupted data

Problematic apps like Aldiko can't be installed from Play Store, can't be installed from filebrowser, can't be installed from adb commandline, can't be restored from TiB. In all cases, Dalvik VM dies, resulting in hotboot (only phone's GUI reloads itself, so you can watch boot animation for a while).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
The eternal 'bugger' since DK4.... Cause of Hotboot is undetermined.

THAT's the Only problem in DK4. Meaning, the bug still exists.

Many apps exist which would cause Hotboot, be it installing from APK, or TiB, or PlayStore.

Gotta wait for nasif to patch this up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WRAITH07:
Hey, i have a problem. I just installed this rom and Ive found that when i try to use the phone the com.android.phone process force closes everytime.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vladoots:
Hey, Virnik! :)

I just installed Aldiko and many other ”problematic apps” - from Play Store and other sources. But this on DK4 installed over DK3 (no wipe; but with DK3 installed after completely formatting both cards).

Previously I tried installing/restoring on a ”pristine” DK4, and only got errors and hotboots. ”My way” everything works just fine. The only app I skipped was TiB - I don't use it anyway.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
Yeah, we discussed about that. And like I had said earlier, you're not enjoying true DK4, but part 3, part 4. Few of the awesome stuffs from 4 aren't used...

Its mostly a version upgrade in your case, with minor changes.

As a temporary solution, its fine! But we still need a concrete solution...

Meanwhile, can you please try using TiB? You know, minor backups, restores etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vladoots:
Yes, I know it's a temporary solution, but it's the best option I/we have so far. It fixes several minor glitches in DK3 (such as rebooting in Recovery), while also fixing major bugs in DK4 - from tremendous battery drain (for me, at least) to the impossibility of restoring/installing some specific apps.

OK, I tried TiB: it works (no hotboot) but it's still corrupting app data. And I'm sure it's not TiB's fault - it's the ROM/a script in it that messes things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gokussjx:
Nah, that corrupting data thing is a weird situation actually.. Indeterminable cause.

Almost all my data's corrupted, even in MyICS.. & I hadn't made bad backup after the test versions. All my backups were from fresh working DK3.

Although.. DK4 MIGHT be the reason for the 'corruption' ;)
