which glitch kernel is everyone running on AOKP 4? [KERNEL][CM9][1/29/12] Icy Glitch V14? V14 B5 for use with THS 6.1?
[Fascinate General] icyhandofcrap:
Thanks speeding, will flash now
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
thats correct....
[Fascinate General] Stephen.k.spear:
Hate to dime you out but Mdt users yaffs2 files system not ext4 don't ask which its better cuz I have no idea. Supposedly they are very comparable.

Sent from my Glitched AOKP Unicorn.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
from my understanding yaffs2 is better than ext4...atleast i remember JT saying this back in teh day.
[Fascinate General] Stephen.k.spear:
I think ext4 is more for storage devices like harddrives and such yaffs2 is better for system files that are being written and rewritten often. Bottom line no lag fix needed.

[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
i agree...so for android devices yaffs2 trumps all.

Is it truly necessary to wipe anything going from b27 to M4?
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
I didn't even wipe cache/dalvik and I'm doing just fine.

But .. I probably just got lucky or something. I'd recommend doing that, but you don't have to wipe data.
[Fascinate General] ZeroLozen:
Also, does Glitch need to be reflashed after ROM and GAPPS?
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
I think so, yes. Here's what I'd recommend:

flash rom and glitch in same recovery session

reboot into the rom, let it do some stuff

reboot back into recovery, flash gapps, reboot the rom

continue restoring whatever accounts and settings have vanished.

That's what I did and I has up and running pretty quick.
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
Touchwiz isn't smooth at all (well Touchwiz 3.0). It's also a huge memory hog, and isn't quite as stable as native android.
[Fascinate General] ZeroLozen:
Sounds good. Let you know how things go.

Anyone experience a focus problem (takes a sec or two to focus) when scrolling web pages.

Otherwise a great rom
[Fascinate General] AuroEdge:
On THS 6.5 I would drop data and it would not return until I rebooted. This occurred to me today on AOKP Milestone 4. Now on Build 6.5 I suspected that it had something to do with being in no signal areas for a duration (parking garage etc). However, it happened today on AOKP in a decently covered area. It has never happened while I was using the phone, and would sometimes return after signal was reacquired.

So I am at a loss when I need to logcat. This bug would seem to coincide with possible the RIL fixes or maybe the MMS patches. Note that this never happened to me after I returned to THS 6.0 and I would wager on whatever AOKP predates any 6.5 inclusions.

As usual, when I make these posts I want to remind those involved in development that I appreciate your work.
[Fascinate General] k_nivesout:
Wow, thanks a bunch for posting this, it was the only thing keeping me on CM9! I tried a few different things to get it working myself, but apparently missed some system files (after poking around the zip). Just out of curiosity, where did you find this?
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
Google...my friend..

First thing I wanted to make sure that there was a DSP manager that would work in ICS...since I use my phone as my primary music player....and that app is AMAZING....btw..did u mean "keeping me on CM7"...not CM9..??

I believe I got linked to the thread by this page: http://androidspin.com/2012/02/13/download-cm9s-dsp-manager-for-ice-cream-sandwich/

Not sure if this is the newest version...but it works....the "newest version" that is in that thread is on page 2...not the one in the OP...the one I linked to is the one I am using..and..(as far I as I can tell) is the latest version out there...at the moment..
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
I too use my phone for mostly music and podcasts....tried A LOT of different ear buds, and believe it or not, best sounding I found are SKULLCANDY. :D
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
I use Monster Turbine Pro Gold....they are about $200..audiophile grade earbuds...
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
I've tried some of the pricier ones....sehnheiser, JLabs, Beats....but honestly, and maybe its the tough conditions I use them in, ( heavy equipment operator) but I'm telling you, the SKULLCANDY line sound pretty incredible. Super bass, great mid range and crisp clear highs.
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Oh btw, thanks for DSP link ! :D
[Fascinate General] k_nivesout:
Thanks speedingcheetah, I must have somehow missed that when I was searching around. And no, I meant CM9 (THS). DSP has always been included as long as I've been using it. I tried to get it working on AOKP myself but missed some of the system files.

Voodoo sound+DSP+my Sennheiser HD-25 II sounds great to me, I've never been a big fan of earbuds but they are nice for portability.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
What store let's you try them? That's the only thing holding me back. I refuse to drop that kind of cash without hearing them first.
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Tried, as in purchased. Sorry i should have made that clear. I get them thru Amazon. Most start out pretty good, but after a while one channel will crap out. Actually stumbled across the Skull candy line in a skater store of all places ! Lol
[Fascinate General] andymetoo28:
I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but do you need to disable Voodoo lag fix before flashing?
[Fascinate General] Stephen.k.spear:
You shouldn't the conversion to mtd should take care of it .

[Fascinate General] andymetoo28:
Thanks I was thinking not but better safe than sorry, right?
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
So some things I've discovered in my quest to get to the bottom of all this SD card / media scanner weirdness:

1. The media scanner apparently selectively (or not) ignores .nomedia files. I put one into a folder that has a crapload of garbage in it (/sdcard/Android/data - look in there sometime and see how long it even takes you to find out how big it is).

2. I figured out a way to see where in the filesystem the media scanner process was looking, and it pointed to that Android/data/ folder and ones under it. They're so full of stuff that just running du -hs on them takes forever .. longer than I had patience for.

3. My SD card was not corrupted, although windows thinks its severely fragmented. Fortunately for flash based storage, fragmentation doesn't mean much.

4. Also, don't invoke 'reboot' directly from an adb shell unless you really really have to. I think that was how I fried my /data partition today and had to restart from scratch.

5. On that note, don't trust your nandroid unless you're also able to restore it. The only one I had caused a boot loop when I restored it. Suck.

Anyway, I'm downloading the aokp source now with the intent of taking a look at the media scanner stuff tomorrow. Here goes nothing.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Unless something has changed I believe you should disable lagfix before flashing mtd...the only way you dont need to if your using odin to flash a stock rom with atlas pitfile.
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
Other ICS roms..

So..I know this is kinda a dumbish question....but

I see the Gummy ICS rom and the Codename Android rom..and AOKP..all by the same person....

So..is AOKP supposed to be the "vanilla" version...I see all the stuff listed that is included in each of the roms...but am confused among the roms as to features...and as to there up-to-date status....

So...the other roms have more features/ customizations then...

Anyone that has tried these 3 roms....can you comment on the difference among them???
[Fascinate General] k_nivesout:
I haven't tried CNA, but I've tried Gummy and AOKP and it really comes down to preference. You can check out the CNA site and the AOKP site to kinda see what they're about. Gummy doesn't have it's own site (that I saw at least) so you can just browse the rom threads, if that helps.

I definitely wouldn't describe AOKP as the most "vanilla", as I understand it, CNA is the closest to stock but I haven't tried it. Gummy and AOKP have a lot of the same features, although AOKP has more features and customization IMO and just "feels" faster, comparing the two in their current forms. I can't really detail all the differences, but they also all seem to be updated pretty often. IIRC Gummy and CNA are on nightlies with occasional "stable" releases. New builds of AOKP are released less often, with the occasional milestone ("stable") releases.
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
The roms just seem so similar to me...so I guess I just don't see the point of having the 3 versions...well, anyway..

I noticed the screen shot on the AOKP site shows a brightness slider bar in the notification pulldown menu....How do u enable that?...I have been digging around through the settings and have yet to find the option for that..

EDIT:...never-mind..its called "brightness location" under toggles....derp..
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
Well, CNA is basically a straight kang of AOKP and gets shunned by most people. There's almost no original content so I stay away from it. Dev is also a prick.

Gummy has a couple of common things, but they really try to go in their own direction. Good alternative to AOKP/CM.

AOKP is basically the elephant in the room with probably the biggest user base. Great features, good people, lots of support, etc.
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
I can confirm through my experience yesterday that there is no need to do anything with the voodoo lagfix before flashing AOKP or CM7 or any other MTD rom. The flashing process blows away whatever is there and re-partitions everything except your external SD card.

During my fiasco yesterday, I odined back to stock, odined the CWM-with-cm7-fix from eons ago, and flashed THS build 2. THS2 is what did the magical repartitioning trick .. then on to aokp M4 :)
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Thanks for confirming this!
[Fascinate General] CeDj2:
Notification sound

Hi everyone. I'm trying out AOKP milestone 4 and it seems to be going very well. One thing I noticed, though, is that my notification sounds still come through the phone speaker even though I have my headphones plugged in. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that can direct all sounds through the headset when plugged in? I don't see anything obvious in the "sound" settings. Thanks for any insight.
[Fascinate General] sypherz28:
I as well have found a couple quirky sound issues with this ROM. The first is as you describe and the second is a vivid echo when I am using speaker phone that is heard on the other parties line. They hear themselves speaking.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Has anyone tried the TV out feature with this ROM? I almost clicked "Buy it now" on ebay for the Samsung cable when I recalled that I have yet to hear about anyone's experiences with this.
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
Yeah, that's a known issue. What you can try to do is back down the mic gain while on speaker phone setting. The way you do that is to flash this utility:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28682151/callboost.zip

Then in an adb shell or terminal window, run (as root):

$ callboost show

When you do that, it should show you what your current settings are. Run:

$ callboost enable

And it will walk you through configuring each setting. Note that you must specify a value for each setting, even if it's the same as what's set.

When you're done, you will want to navigate to /system/etc/init.d and make sure that only one 90call_vol script exists (and not 90call_vol_fascinate), otherwise the other is likely to clobber the settings you just established.

I'm using a Mic Gain SPK setting of 18 on my fassy. It seems to help a little with the echo issue. You mileage may vary, of course.

Just to give credit where credit is due, I kanged most of that code from the good folks over at the KGB kernel thread.
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
The TV out is for other variants of the Galaxy S. The Fascinate doesn't have the necessary hardware for it to function.
[Fascinate General] sypherz28:
Before I get to far with this couldn't I essentially do the same with the glitch kernel. If I recall when I was adjusting the volume gain there was also mic gain controls as well. I'm spilling my thoughts before I look... just a moment.

**time lapse**

Here is the section of the file I am refering too that is located in system/etc/init.d/90call_vol_fascinate

--------------------------------

# Now, configure your desired mic gain for each mode.

# Mic gain goes from 0 to 31.

# 0 = -16.5db gain

# 11 = 0db gain

# 31 = 30db gain

# So it looks like each +1 for these values is the same as +1.5db.

# you can fine-tune each for the best performance.

MIC_GAIN_EARPIECE=19

MIC_GAIN_SPEAKER=31

MIC_GAIN_HEADPHONE=29

MIC_GAIN_HEADPHONE_NO_MIC=18

--------------------------------

The default speaker setting is 31 which I think is a little high. This maybe the issue. Ill change, test, and get back with what I find.

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Well that seems a little silly that Samsung would release it for all but the Fassy. You saved me and my wallet though, thank you.
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
Yeah, my utility just generates that file after prompting you for the values. Editing the file has the same effect. The "callboost" script takes care of things like mounting your /system partition read/write, saving the file, etc., that's all.

As far as I know, Glitch is the only MTD kernel for ICS that supports this. THS still hasn't kanged my controllable call volume boost code into their kernel yet, and that's why everyone complains about it being too loud on that kernel. Oh well.

They probably couldn't because Verizon couldn't figure out a way to charge you $20/month extra to use the feature...
[Fascinate General] sypherz28:
Fantastic work then! 18 seems rather low but I am going to give that a go and adjust as needed when I get off work. Thank you for the help.

On another note do you see it to be possible to have more incremental settings for the call volume side of the fix? It boosts in increments of +6db which is a hard swing when adjusting sound. Increments of +3db makes a lot more sense but still not tuning friendly by any means. I am looking for a mean level between level 1 and 2 (+6db and +12db).
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
Yeah, your best bet is to just find a value that works for you and run with it. I had hoped to make an app at some point that would let you adjust all those settings on-the-fly, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.

Unfortunately, that is a hardware limitation. It's doing a digital boost on the input to the DAC before conversion. 0 - 3 are the only values permitted, no ifs, ands, or buts.
[Fascinate General] sypherz28:
Well that's what I get for trying to make something perfect even better.
[Fascinate General] CeDj2:
Oh well. I guess I'll just have to pay more attention when I'm listening to music. Still a great ROM, though.
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
Has anyone run both AOKP and CNA, if so what are your opinions of both side by side.
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
I run them all...aokp, gummy, cna

Ths. IMO AOKP M4 is most stable. CNA is sweet with lots of ability to tweak. :D
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
which would you say is the snappiest of the 3? or are they all around the same speed wise?
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:

Anyone have any tips on getting good battery life? Running AOKP / Glitch (w/ nandroid fix), juice defender, no OC/UV...

Getting significantly less battery life than my old setup (Nitsu's Superclean w/ the KGB gernel...) Thanks for any input
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
Juice defender is probably causing you more problems than anything. Set your minimum frequency to 200MHz, try the Lazy governor and Deadline scheduler. That seems to be the best combo for most.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
TW roms have always yielded better battery life than mtd...spend 23.00 and buy a epic 4g 1800mah battery. fits under stock cover and will net another 6-8hrs battery life.

[Fascinate General] AtropineNa:
Cool thanks for the input, will try these settings, why use 200mhz as opposed to 100? Isn't 100 less energy used?

My phone reboots into recovery no matter which I choose. What can I do to fix this?

[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
Heh, i forget that there are sections other than development :p
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
The 100MHz frequency slows down processes so much it can keep the phone awake. 200MHz won't use more current when the phone is asleep. The screen off max freq. stuff is related to deep idle in the kernel, and is still buggy. Best leave that alone for now.

Are Class 6 SD cards required for AOKP, or are some people having luck with the original Class 2 16GB cards?
[Fascinate General] k_nivesout:
I'm using a class 4 8GB FWIW. I've heard of some having success with the stock card, and some that it didn't work for.
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
I've had the stock 16gb since pre CM7 days with no issue.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
the only reason class 6 cards are recomended is because nobody im aware of has experienced a failure with one. i have seen folks report having "cant mount" or " sd card damaged" issues on both class 2 or 4 sd cards. try yours and see if it will run mtd roms, if it gives you trouble, buy a class 6!
[Fascinate General] mezster:
Funny thing been happening lately guys. Every time I hand my phone to somebody for them to check out ics they start getting FCs as soon as they turn screen on. Been running M4 since its release with no problems whatsoever, I mean it is rock solid and everything but compass works great. I know its not rom related I just think it is hilarious, I mean it happens every single time! They all can't be doing the same thing to cause it, that would be a hell of a coincidence. Maybe my phone just hates everyone but me. My jealous lover (not literally of course)."

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Mods please sticky this.

There's been several threads with people saying that they are getting intermittent slow or no data connections. Some people suspected throttling.

I did some digging around and found that it is a common issue on all ATT LTE phones. I have read up on various fixes, found one that worked, and will summarize it here.

Create a new APN that is EXACTLY the same as your current one with two exceptions:

1. APN: phone

2. APN type: internet

Save the APN. You should now have 2 APNs. Make sure that the original AT&T PTA APN is the selected one with the green dot.

What we've done here is replace the APN just for internet, and left everything else the same. If you try setting the type of the new APN for everything, it breaks MMS.

There are several dead spots in my town where I get incredibly slow or no data , despite my wife's iPhone working just fine. I made this change and now it works perfectly. Same top speeds for upload and download.

The only thing I cannot test is LTE, since I am not in an LTE area. From what I've read, this is an LTW APN so it should work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gotsamsunged:
Thanks. Works great and I'm in LTE area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:
Very interesting.. thanks for the post.

Just for clarity, we're not to remove "internet" from the original PTA, right?

Edit: Oh, and we can name it whatever we want, I'm assuming? Or does it have to match the original to replace it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
You can't remove the original APN - it's not editable. Leave it as is.

You can name the new APN whatever you want, as long as the APN is called phone.

I am so excited to test this out. I just entered those settings and will report back at the end of the day with my results.
