[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazzosan:
Hi All,

Firstly, thank you to all involved in the development of this rom. While it is not without problems, it is still miles ahead of the stock Telstra firmware. I got this rom via a roundabout process and made some mistakes...My process was:

1) Get phone with standard Telstra Gingerbread image.

2) upgrade via OTA to 4.0.4.

3) Downgrade via Odin as there is no exploit for 4.0.4.

4) Root via Once Click Root (didn't have Android SDK installed on this PC).

5) Installed CWM (forgot which version) and tried unsuccessfully to install the CM10 roms linked on page 1 of this thread.

6) Installed TWRP 2.2

7) Installed cm-10-20121001-UNOFFICIAL-i9210t successfully.

So, I have a couple of questions.

1) Has anyone been able to get their soft keys working with these CM10 roms? Reading through the threads it looks like people have downgraded to the stock Telstra Gingerbread one and have got them back.

2) Are there any more recent CM10 builds than the 10th of Oct? I've had quite a few soft reboots in the last few days.

3) What other roms do people recommend? The only other ones mentioned are from very early on (March/April 2012).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwp85:
From the early stages of this phone... back when GB Roms were the only option, I had no issue at all with soft keys. Had some boot loops but a cache wipe fixed it.

These are the steps I took for TWRP.

Install twrp the rough Odin. (Same way as CWM.)

Phone should fully boot after install.

Copy files to phone. ROM (I'm using CM10 nightly for the Skyrocket.) Get this from their official site. Google apps and dream kernel 1.8.1 found on this forum.

Shut down phone.

Boot into TWRP (hold vol-, press power (as normal), release vol after first splash screen.)

First step.... backup.

Now go to the wipe menu.

Wide data, cache, dalvik and system.

Go back.

Install menu

Install in this order.

ROM, Gapps, Kernel.

For extra measure wipe cache and dalvik before rebooting.

I've used this method many times with cwm and twrp while trying different Roms. I find twrp to be more reliable so I recommend it over cwm.

Note: if you intend to use nightly builds. Install goomanager from the play store. It will notify you of updates.

After each update I found you need to also reinstall dream kernel otherwise auto rotate won't work. Didn't for me anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazzosan:
Don't worry, you haven't bricked it. There's just something wrong with your install sequence. Even if you are restoring a backup, try clearing cache/dalvik. In fact, I clear everything except the SD card each time I flash a new rom or backup ( clear all user data). This might be overkill but it works. Also, when you are installing, don't flash the rom and gapps in the same go. As bwp85 said, flash rom, then gapps, then kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazzosan:
Thanks for the help. I am now running the latest CM10 and have my soft keys back. I guess the key was to wipe everything except SD, then install rom, reboot, gapps, reboot, kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekrosys:
Although with CM10 you can actually receive updates without the use of third party software in Settings. After each one, you do have to install the Dreamkernel again though. Still, it removes the requirement for one of those programs.

Just go Settings > About Phone > CyanogenMod Updates

hey thanks for the help, i now have jb up and running. my next problem is no soft keys....how do i get around this? I have done a stock gb rom back in using odin, wiped etc, tried a softkey fix using odin with no success.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panther788:
I was about to upgrade my phone using the roms on this site when telstra released the 4.04 software, now i am not so sure about it. What are the advantages of the CM10 rom over the stock rom? Is it possible to revert to the stock rom if needed, and remove the binary counter count? And also is it possible for a step by step instruction for installing the provided CM10 and recovery, as the supplied steps are a little vague(where to put the the files in odin, which settings to use in odin, ect)? Thanks :):)

Merry Christmas to all!

ROM is awesome, I installed this before Telstra's official ROM came out and love it..

I actually install daily ROMS (i.e. check for updates from phone) only due to the fact I can I guess and the camera "sphere" isnt working...

I have 1 major concern tho.. the battery now takes AGES to charge.. im talking maybe 5-6 hours to fully charge.. is this known? What do you recommend? Also.. as mentioned above.. I assume the "sphere" is still being worked on..?

What I have on the phone atm:

Model Number: Samsung-SGH-I727

Android Version: 4.1.2

Baseband Version: I9210TDVLD1

Kernel Version: 3.0.51DreamKernel-GTI9210T-v1.8.1CM10+

To your question.

Yes i already know about that long charging cycles but till now its not clear what the reason for it is.

Have u tried using one of my unofficial cm10 builds for the gti9210t and can u also try to update to latest kernel wich is 1.8.2 to see if that helps. download for 1.8.2 if not public can be requested via irc ...

To shortly answer u'r question. Yes u can always jump between roms

Cm10 < ---- > ics stock ... and vice versa also u can always go back to fully stock at every time with a few simple steps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wazzosan:
IMHO the best reason to install this rom over the stock Telstra one is the removal of all bloatware. Telstra have done a wonderful job of putting a ton of useless software on it and it is around 3 times larger than the standard CM10 build (yes admittedly you don't have the Google apps pre-installed).

Other benefits:

1) Boot time seems to be faster

2) removal of Telstra boot images/branding

3) Backup and restore (by installing CWM or TWRP recovery).

4) Much more detailed settings options (homescreen/launcher/power/sounds etc)

And what is the battery life like? This phone already chews through a heap of battery, and I don't want to install this if it increases battery use. Also is there a way to just turn off 4g exclusively so you can still use any other connection? And which version of jelly bean is this?

Thanks for all the help, I am seriously thjnking about using the cm10 rom!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
4g can be seperatly disabled on cm10 3/2g is still usable ...

Bat life of cm10 till now is a bit less then it is on the ics roms, but u get a lot of additional features for that also u can save some bat with various avaible settings wich stock roms do not offer

Current cm10 builds for gt-i9210t

are Android 4.1.2 builds

Been lurking on the forums for a while - have to say great work to all those who assist here!

Quick question gents - I've got my missus S24G (9210T) running the CM10 from earlier in this thread (cm-10-20121010-UNOFFICIAL-i9210t) with dreamkernal 1.7.1. It has a tendency to randomly reboot - so I need to do something, and I don't want to go to the new official rom if I don't have too..

I was trying to update the CM10 to the skyrocket nightly along with dreamkernal 1.8.1, but when I try to flash the nightly it comes up with an error message/code saying something about skyrocket and it stops...

Have I missed something? We can update from the rom i'm running to the latest skyrocket nightly, right?

Also, are there any issues with the nightly? ie is the video recording an issue still?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oc74ne:
thought id share i was playing around with Nibbles-Kernel-v0.1.3 on the latest version of the skyrocket cm10 nightlies, as the use of skyrocket kernels makes the back button a second home button i figured out that modifying key 172 to BACK in the melfas_touchkey.kl located in system/usr/keylayout then rebooting enables the back button again assuming that it would work on all skyrocket kernels?? someone correct me if im wrong also why exactly does the sound not work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
That would be a temporary keyfix or a workarround but not a solution to the key issue also sound problems occour becouse some slightly differences between the skyrocket and the gti9210t

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

Should be an issue with the updater-script in the rom zip wich checks for a specific device using something like:

assert(getprop(ro.product.model == skyrocket) || getprop(ro.product.device == skyrocket) || getprop(...... ));

Depending on the recovery used, install may fails due recovery thinks the rom is for a wrong device

As a workarround u can simply extract the the updater-script and remove thoose assert(); lines at the top. Replace the one in the rom zip with the changed script and the rom should install again

Important: u should use a editor like notepad++ on windows (to keep unix linebreak characters) not wordpad or notepad becouse they are using windows linebreak characters wich the recovery can not handle
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dillster70:
Ahhh, thanks... I suspected it may have something to do with the CWM recovery...

I ended up flashing the official release as missus was getting peeved... If I go back to CM10 I'll remember to use TWRP instead.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panther788:
So far it seems great, the only things i have to pick at is the inability to connect to kies(though i know it is an impossibility :( ) the lak of swype(another impossibility) and the in ability to set only contacts with numbers to display and the inability to sync with facebook contacts. i love having all of my friends profile pictures pop up when receiving a text or call and are too lazy to individually apply one (plus it would be creepy).

also is there a way to use photo sphere?

Yop there is :) just go to the Download Thread and enjoy :)

I have updated my Download Thread with v1.8.2 and also v 1.8.3 kernel and also a new version of the TWRP Recovery is avaible for Download now

would be cool if u could provide some more infos like logcat/dmesg, bu i'm in mind its caused by one of your apps

u can try to change the I/O Scheduler and CPU governor (can be done in CM10 Settings Menu) or via extweaks

Also for all of you guys using TWRP v1.1 you should upgrade to latest v1.2.2 from the DL Thread as the 1.2.2 release has a lot of fixes.

Mount of USB Storage and ADB finaly also works in recovery now !

Hi everyone,

I am currently running a version of embryo rom on my Telstra branded 9210t but I am thinking about possibly installing the official ICS that was recently released for this handset but I really would like root for titanium backup pro.

Has a flashable version of the Rom with root be released?

And I have run the Got Brickbug app which indicates I currently have a vulnerable kernel, is there any gotcha's I need to be aware of before changing Roms?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
there is currently no Secure and pre rooted release of that Telstra Stock ROM made by me

U should realy take care with your current Setup when gotbrickbug tells u that your chip is faulty ,,,,

do not wipe or format in Recovery ! flash an alternative Recovery maybe TWRP or a custom CWM as soon as possible !!

Also GotBrickbug does not tell u if u are running a Vulnerable Kernel it just tells u if your MMC Chip is known to be affected by that Bug

U can install DreamKernel wich is save to use becouse MMC_CAP_ERASE function wich causes this bug does not exists in DreamKernel

Thanks for the reply, I already have TWRP installed (I might update to the latest version from the downloads post).

Is CM 10 nightly's with latest dream kernel considered stable enough for a work phone and all major features working?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwp85:
I've been running Nightly's for about a month now and have had no random reboots.

Issues:

When connecting a 3.5mm audio plug to play music in my work vehicle it hangs if I do not have the screen unlocked beforehand. (not every time though)

Sometimes the audio turns to static (loud scratchy crackling noise) while watching a video, pressing buttons etc.

I'm currently running:

CM10 Nightly 06/01/13

Dreamkernel 1.8.3

Gapps 11/10/12

Note: Every time you install the latest Nightly you will need to take these steps.

1. Install ROM

2. Install Dreamkernel

3. Wipe cache/dalvik

4. Reboot

Also get goomanager from Play Store here

goomanager will notify you of Nightly updates and also allow you to download them directly to your phone for installation.

First of all, great work Tallustus and every one else who worked on this.

So to my question.

1. The home button doesn't work for me in the 1.8.2 och 1.8.3 kernel but works fine in 1.8.1. Is there any workaround to fix that?

2. Is there any way to get the Embryo 6.0 ROM running on our device?

Updated TWRP and now cannot flash nightlies?

I've never had a problem flashing on the old version of TWRP but now I'm getting a status 7 error. I've checked the MD5 sum and it is OK. I've tried the latest 20130107 and also 20120106 same thing? The log seems to get cut off on the screen but the part I assume is significant reads:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *d1000:
Apologies if my post was interpreted as having a go at your work. I struggle to understand how a feature on a ROM I've been using suddenly stops working when the only change I've made is the kernel. It is minor and I was only trying to help. I don't have developer/programming skills so I was just trying to assist on the testing front. The airplane mode was still greyed out and it was still registered as "On". After downgrading TWRP and flashing the latest nightly this issue no longer exists so it does appear to be related to the ROM version which is weird and if someone would like to explain it I'm happy to listen and learn.

It is very hard for someone with limited knowledge to look at a forum for another phone and be able to determine what is applicable for the i9210T. From what I gather people are suggesting flashing CWM touch...is this correct? I'm not interested in doing this so I've flashed the old TWRP and I can now flash the the nightly I was having problems with. I think this is valuable information to have in the thread for other users.

I think it's reasonable to post a question in the relevant thread and not just take advice from another thread about another phone. Please don't interpret this as having a go I'm just trying to make you see my intentions from my point of view. I have made a small donation as I do appreciate your work and I've been benefiting from it for a while.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
my answer was not meant to be offending in any way

Its just that the Thread here is already realy overloaded with informations to that device and if we always answer questions a several time the thread grows to a size that nobody can read/handle anymore

so its realy suggested to read the thread for common problems before asking for help.

The problem with that error while flashing with the new Recovery TWRP is becouse the updater-script

wich is included in the rom zip checks for the device model and if it is not skyrocket (wich is the case on our model) as we have no skyrocket.

** Please remember if you flash a ROM for a GT-I9100, wich is also a Galaxy S2 but the internaional one, that will completly brick your device and render it usless

** Maybe as a paperweight or something, so u see to check for the correct Device Model makes sense in any way !

It fails to install for a correct Reason (wrong device), yes it is correct you can flash Skyrocket ROMs and they work but they are not targeted for that device.

so its the users choice if he is 100% sure the rom is OK to just edit the updater-script and remove the checks for the device model.

That will allow you to install this rom ! and thats excactly the point i already explained in the post i have linked above ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *d1000:
Thanks for explaining. I understand and agree with your attempt in keeping the thread free of duplicate information. I guess I should elaborate on my response it's not that I'm not interested in flashing CWM it's just no one in this thread has confirmed or recommended it. You suggested upgrading TWRP with justification so I tried it and wanted to document my experience in an attempt to advise other users. I'm only using the skyrocket nightly's as other users have confirmed it is a good option and it is only possible thanks to your kernel. I apologise for suggesting there was a minor bug in your kernel when that was not the case.

Please keep up the good work :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallustus:
no problem :) and i'm realy fine with users reporting bugs,

without that we could never fix them.

Yes the Skyrocket Nightly's are a good choice but the still have some issues (mainly just small ones)

becouse they are targeted for a different device.

For CWM i can just say u can use a Skyrocket CWM Build but this can/will lead u into serious trouble from time to time for some known reasons

We are testing things a lot before i'm going to release things to public thats why there usaly is a large update delay,

so far TWRP is known to work propper/best with that Device and also TWRP Builds made by me include some more GT-I9210(T) related fixes.

So my suggestion is to use latest TWRP Build even if u need to modify the updater script to flash skyrocket roms,

thats just a small step and done in less then 20 seconds.

P.S.

my personal mind: TWRP offers much more features then CWM does, i will never want to miss TWRP anymore because it makes many many things more easy then CWM.
