[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] uncle_sammy:
Hi all dudes! I'm new to this forum. First of all I would like to say big thanks and respect to arco68 for porting CM9 to i8150. I know it's hard to debug, porting, reverse ingeneering something, you've done a great work! Also thanks to active users who posted guides (THE-E), explanations, bug reports and user feedback. I read this thread, dev thread, CWM thread and ODIN thread including comments and was completely noob in flashing custom rom and now I'm much better in it.

Now few words about this rom. The rom feels very stable and much more responsive than stock GB. With latest build A8 animations got more smoother. Battery life is good and about the same as in stock. I think the biggest juice killers are screen and phone radios and OS can only optimize CPU consumption so nothing can be done to improve it.

I want to ask is there any way to replace stock dialer. I installed Go contacts and dialer, but when I dial a number (from Go Contacts) the stock dialer dials, after call "choose dialer program" dialog appears, I check "default" and select GO Dialer, but after that nothing changes and stock dialer is used. I tried to disable Phone app with no luck. Also dialer shows screenlock screen after call even when was unlocked it is very annoying and I didn't found any option to disable this behavior.

Sorry for bad english and long post.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] acelim23:
Can I ask a question, I think this question might be related also to kernel or this ROM. I noticed that while I am playing Fruit Ninja, of course I am swiping fast especially on the pink fruit where you need to swipe fast. I just noticed that the swipe is not continous, i mean, the lines I create splits. It's like the LCD does not respond as it should be when I am sweeping my hand way too fast. Is it just the ROM, or is it device related issue?

try to format the sdcard. first, backup your files in the sdcard, like copy paste or something. then format your sdcard (format using card reader, dont format directly from the phone). after all clear, copy ONLY your music files/folder, don't copy anything else to the sdcard. next, insert your sdcard to the phone. after the firs scan, is it works? if it does, then copy your DCIM folder and the other folders, but don't do the CTRL+A->copypaste, bcz when i tried to do that, the apollo doesn't detect my musics again. if it doesn't work, check if you have another music player like the power amp or something. try to uninstall it, then run the apollo. if this make a changes, it should. i've experienced the same things, and this works for me. have a try.

Once again:

I have a problem with battery drain with Bluetooth radio being turned on (no device connected). CPU Spy tells me that there is no deep sleep phase. With BT deactivated, deep sleep works instantly after screen off/lock (remaining 45% vs. 8% after 16 hours with similar usage). Nobody else with this problem?

Everything else works as expected.

Hi,

The SMS app is not working properly on beta 8

Steps to reproduce the problem:

- I restore the SMS backups

- Open the sms app

- Click on sms to open the detail

- The sms app close and give the error "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped"

- Now when i try to send a new sms i obtain the same error

- New sms don't appear.

Is this a known problem? Maybe a Titanium Backup restore problem...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tievolu:
SMS working fine for me on alpha 8. I originally did a backup/restore when migrating from stock to alpha 7 using this app, as recommended in Arco's installation instructions.

As an aside, I had no end of problems with Titanium backup on the stock firmware. It basically didn't work for backup/restore - it would just hang. It was only useful for freezing apps. Bit of a waste of money IMO, and I don't bother with it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] JnManso:
I use that app too to restore the sms backup, But i use the titanium to restore other apps with data.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fcaronte:
is possible to have BLN support or active screen when arrive a sms in stock app?

is normal that the audio of phone when touch the screen for example is very low?

Same here...... can't use some menu from sim toolkit. Reverting to CM9 build 7 or 8 isn't helping either......
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sigprof:
What kind of backup did you use? I used the “Backup data to XML…” and “Restore data from XML…” commands in the Titanium Backup menu (these commands are available only in the paid version), and have no problems with restored SMS and MMS after moving from stock I8150XXLM6 to CM9 alpha 8 (just be sure to check settings in the SMS app — by default message autodeletion after 500 SMS or 50 MMS in a thread is turned on; I did not try to restore those settings from the backup).

There is also the “Migrate system data” option in Titanium Backup preferences, which might help when restoring old backups of third-party apps (but if in doubt, clean reinstall and reconfigure is better; some apps also have their own backup capabilities, which are more likely to work properly when restoring on a completely different ROM version). And the option to read CWM nandroid backups seems to work even with the new “dup” format introduced in CWM6.

Here too — while the SIM toolkit command seems to work, the next phone call attempt results in the “com.android.phone stopped” error; however, the error seems to happen only once — the next outgoing call attempt worked. Did not check whether incoming calls would work in this condition.

Battery Problem

Yesterday my battery was at 17%.

I forced shut down my phone (removing the battery) then after booting, my battery became 7%.

After an hour or so of not using the phone (just checking the clock from time to time), I noticed it was increasing 1 by 1.

From 7% -> 8% -> 9% -> 10%.

U mad bro? o_O?

I was literally thanking you since I was not checking the CM9 thread more often than I do with this thread.

Google+ crash/freeze

I'm having this issue since alpha5, but i havent read anyone experiencing it so it might be related to my phone, here's what happen:

When using google+ (especially when scrolling through the feed) it starts to lag and all of a sudden it freezes completely. When i say freeze i mean that the phone became completely unresponsive, no home button, no power button, nothing.

The only way to deal with it is to remove the battery and restart the phone.

This happen very often, let's say that if i use it for more than 5 min it usually happens.

Is anyone else experiencing this? If you dont use g+ could you please try and tell? thanks :)

(by the way disabling/enabling hw acceleration from settings doesn't make any difference)

Edit: just saw this in the first post: Goolge+: reboots and shows "safe mode" [1] (Alpha 7), but it's not quite the same problem...

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rbaker91:
Hey

I installed CM9 about 5 days ago and theres a few problems ive noticed in my brazilian SGW.

First issue is, notification sounds for SMS randomly stop working. Works again after a reboot, but its annoying.

Second, battery life is INCREDIBLY lower than I used to have with the value pack ROM. Before posting this, i completely charged the phone, turned everything off (3g, wifi, gps, bluetooth), put brightness on DIM, and left the phone locked for almost 6 hours. Battery went to 86%. On previous rom it would still be at 95% or so.

Everything else works perfectly as far as i know.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tievolu:
I'm not using Google+, but I'm having similar freezing problems with Rain Alarm. When it happens I have to hold the power button down for ten seconds to force a power-off, or take the battery out. Not sure if it's the app's fault or the ROM's - I never had any freezing problems with this app on the stock ROM though.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] opexblue:
Guys, it is well known that if you flash new custom ROM you will experience battery anomaly. And you have to clear battery stats in CWM.

The battery will work normally after 3-4 charging cycle.

I remember in CM9 Development thread someone posted something like this: If you haven't been through 3-4 charging cycle, do not complain about battery... ;)

Hi , I'm On CM9 Alpha 8..

: I tried Zram but no difference happens (I think it is not working as some other members said)

BUT anyway CM9 Is Awesome..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fredolim:
I've been using alpha 8 since it's first day release. Re calibrated the battery few times and I've even tried fresh install but the problem only occur when I've data connection enabled/playing video/game. When all these are not enabled, the battery can sustain for at least 36hrs.

CM9 Build 8, day to day

Hi, ive just bought the SGW I8150 to use as a work phone, I intend to root it at the very least and probably flash it to CM9 (partly because its locked to the three network) and i fancy it.

I suppose my question is for the latest build 8 - how are people getting on for day to day use? is it still fairly stable given its in development? and I assume the phone is fully functional apart from of course whats listed as not yet working (e.g tethering).

Are there perhaps other, more mature ICS 4.04 roms? and is this one still being worked on?

Sorry for the mundane questions, I have read allot of positive posts and reviews.

All the best,

The "Safe Mode" thingie was mine, I got that scrolling lag too on Alpha7, but after updating, it (almost) dissapeard!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TheVoidNN:
just found another interesting bug (or feature :))...

how to reproduce:

get an "damaged" microSD (e.g. use linux to delete the partition from it and then insert it to your phone)

phone will tell you that sdcard is "damaged" and will ask you to format it... confirm it and voila: your INTERNAL sdcard is formated ^_^

but external sd is not even touched... it's not even tried to create the partition...

// i know i'm doing weird stuff with my phone, but i just like to do such things with everything xD

/* and i know it's not a new issue, but still can't find the solution: when phone starts i have a small notification "Sending..." and then "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" or similar... it's began when i came home from ukraine to russia and inserted my native sim... */

BUG REPORT

Im on alpha 8. This is the second time this week that ive had this problem, ringtones and notifications stopped working, phone only vibrates even if u go on configs and change the settings again. Also, and this has happened often since last week, the clock seems to freeze sometimes. Im using network provided time and for it to start working again i have to go to date and time and remark the option there.

Hugs.

Nevermind, sms wasnt working because some of my contacts were blacklisted somehow.

Bluetooth problem (alpha 8)

Thank you for your grate work!

The problem is:

Every time i want to connect to the bluetooth in my car, I must restert the Phone.

Can you solve this problem?

Have a grate life

Shmuel
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Hyst:
First of all: thank you arco. After flashing CM9 (alpha 8) it feels like I got a new phone :)

Just wanted to give some Feedback, of whats working and whats not. Maybe it's helpful. Maybe not. Anyway.... Just want to share it.

Working:

Bluetooth calling works fine for me. Even better than normal. I've got the feeling, that my car finds my phone faster and the connection is more stable.

Same for WiFi. It is very stable. Never had WiFi disconnects like with stock rom.

FM-Radio works with Spirit FM (Method: "qdsp5v2 Altern"). But sometimes Phone crashes when I close it.

GPS works. I love the support for Bluetooth GPS receiver.

Camara works

minor issues:

one time I was trying to get my location without gps (only through the network). Which usually works fine. But the other day it didn't. My location was jumping around.

sometimes my reception and wifi indicator are gray instead of blue. and somtimes the wifi indicator shows that I have no or very low reception, although wifi works very well and in wifi settings it reads that i've got very good reception. (Check screenshot)

one time phone didn't went to deep sleep mode. But issue was gone after a reboot.

some issues with swype 3.26 and some apps (but I think this has nothing to do with CM9).

Annoying issue:

Phone app is pretty laggy. Especially If someone calls me. Sometimes I need 2-3 attempts to accept the call (only because phone is to laggy to let me drag the ring to the right). And after I've accepted the call it takes pretty long until the caller can hear me. I end up saying "hello" 2-3 times until the callaer is hearing me.

That's about it. Love our work. If you would live somewhere next to me I would buy you a beer :) so keep up the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] JuLiian:
The color means, if you got a connection to the internet or not, I think.

I mean you can be connected to your wlan but don't have a connection to the Internet...

I myself never have the blue indicators, cause I use Droid wall for saying, which apps are allowed to get my mobile data, and which not.

So with mobile just whatsapp is allowed to access the internet, my indicator is always grey, if I disable droidwall, so that all may have internet, my indicators get blue directly.

And with the Wlan, sometimes it takes a while to get blue, but at all it is also the same concept, grey=no internet, Blue=internet.

Hope that helps,

and I'm pretty sure that's right what I said, if not correct me ^^

Can i installing MegaBassBeats on CM9 ? and is it work on this rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Hyst:
Hehe... I am pretty sure it's false, what you said. :)

I don't seem to see any kind of pattern in the color. Sometimes I have data and wifi off. Still I get blue AND grey color. Sometimes it is changing 2 or 3 times while I am watching, and nothing changed.

sometimes my wifi is grey (or blue) while i am surfing or downloading something. So the phone has a internet connection.

It might be true what you say. So the color should indicate weather or not I have an internet connection. But then it is not working for me. For me this is just random. As I said: I see it changing while I am watching. Sometimes I do not even touch my phone and I see the color change.

But thanks for the reply.

on a different note. I found another "minor issue". When I scan for bluetooth devices. I don't see the NAME of the device. I just see the MAC-Address (Is it the MAC? I don't know if you say MAC with bluetooth devies). So just a bunch of numbers and ":".

Greetings
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sanfiorano:
I cannot download images from whatsapp & Line. I found blank preview in the gallery? Is it bug?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jon1011:
IMO and based from my observations, JuLian is correct.

I noticed that when I just turned on my wifi.

The golor is gray, but it's really not yet connected to the internet.

After 3-5 seconds, it turns to blue then I know it is already connected to the internet as I get updates/notifications.

Same is true when the wifi is on, then the screen locked.

After unlocking the screen, you'll see the change from gray to blue.

But sometimes it is so fast that when you unlock your phone, it already blue.

About the bluetooth MAC address devices,

I noticed that too... After a few seconds, some of the detected 'MAC Addresses' will eventually change to the name of their bluetooth device.

But some do not.

Especially here in our office, there are a lot of laptops with their bluetooth enabled.

When I scan for devices, it shows a lot of MAC Addresses but will change into their PC name after a few seconds.
