Cache may need formatted. Go into Terminal Emulator, type 'df' and see if /cache is there. If not then type 'su' then 'mkfs.ext2 /dev/block/stl8' to format it, and then reboot the phone.

Also after looking through what is not working in ICS and GB, and looking at why they aren't working, and looking at issues with other functions we want to get going it is clear now that the only course of action for our phone is to get kernel 3.0 working. USB isn't working because of a horribly outdated USB driver in the kernel, the sound issues are likewise, OpenFIMG, MTD/OneNAND, all of these are problems that we could sit here trying to fix on kernel 2.6.32 but really it's not worth it anymore. Kernel 2.6 is done and our phone just won't proceed any further if we continue to use it.

So I now beg of the other developers on our phone, please let us stop working on stuff that isn't really that important and let's just get kernel 3.0 on our phone. If tom3q could port 3.0 99% to the Spica on his own, I'm sure if we all work together we can get 3.0 on our phone too. If we get 3.0 working we can lose all the Samcrap that is going on and we will be able to get CM7 and CM9 working 100%. Sure we'll no longer be able to support Froyo ROMs, but kernel 2.6.32 was designed specifically for that.

My G3 is no longer for main use so I can do heavy coding on it without needing to keep it functioning for daily use, so we have a test platform, and I'm pretty sure tom3q will be willing to do tests on his G3 as well and we both have UART. If we can figure out why UART won't output on our phone in early init, then we should be able to get somewhere and start using mainline drivers.

I have a BIG BIG issue, When I call people, they can not hear me and me either! By cons when it's them that called, I hear them.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pmanian:
+1 for kernel 3.0. Waiting 4 it. I think u can start a new thread and make progress on it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
A 3.x port would be really nice, you might wanna start here as it has all the apollo developers as members :)

https://github.com/sg3/android_kernel_samsung_apollo

i'll merge linux-samsung from kernel.org later today, and also add android-common kernel as a branch

Then, you can make a branch (android-samsung-3.0 or apollo-3.0, or most probably s5p6442-3.x ) and start coding.

EDIT : merged linux-samsung, and deleted master branch

Also, android-3.0 is android-3.0 from https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common.git :)

0 KB internal memory after the latest update... also after the update, when I restored the backup i created before restore, no apps settings accounts get restored... all my apps and contacts gone.. :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] :
You don't have contacts synced with Google? If you have, you can restore from there. Also, you could consider putting them on your sim card maybe..?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Can you paste the contents of /tmp/fsdetect.txt in here.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nishant_713:
Sorry, but am back on 3 may build... Its quite usable...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Hmm okay well I can't debug it without information. I'm working blind here. You could have flashed G3MOD Test 002 on top and that would have fixed the issues.

Two Question about the next build

Is the theme changer working? I mean, Can we apply the CM9 themes?

So does that mean that we press the power + home button to boot or JUST the home button?

Thanks!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Yes the theme changer works, just need a compatible theme. I tested it with a CM7 theme and it kind of worked but you may need to wait a little longer for more support.

If you turn on the phone with the power button only, you can change your mind about whatever boot mode it was going to boot into provided you hold the button (ie home) before the GT-I5800 logo goes away and until the progress bar goes right across.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
arcee has some themes on the play store :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Ricardo+Cerqueira

Sonny Sekhon also made a few for cm9 (Play Store again)

CM7 themes would work, but won't look as good as many resources have been renamed.

By default my phone goes to recovery mode and only boots to normal mode when I hold home button while booting .

Is it normal or something is messed up in my phone ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Hold home all the way until the boot animation shows up.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pinak.ahuja:
What I meant to ask was that is it not possible to make phone boot normally by default ie if no button is pressed it boots normally .

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Sadly no as those are both things that I doubt will work on kernel 2.6.32 (at least not without a lot of weird modifications to Android or adding a special interface to it).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] z3c0:
Have there been notable changes in CM9 since May 08? (apps on lockscreen & theming)

In general I'm always up for testing the latest build.

As you see fit.

right now, I guess the main development action will be at [PROJECT] Kernel 3.x For Galaxy 3 before work on the ROM adaptation continues.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nishant_713:
Would be great if i could have the update. But i don't want the other things of the last update, such as home button force boot, no HD2SD support and all... I just want to update my cm9 to the latest.... any such option available... :) :) PLZ :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pinak.ahuja:
Just flash arakmar's g3mod or g3mod 2.5 over serenity you will have what you need.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ajay.d96:
i guess you have i5800 and not i5801, right ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Ya. I has the i5800 with the physical buttons. The i5801 was never sold in New Zealand.

There's no difference however internally, only difference is the PCB for the buttons, and the casing.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mohsin2cool:
now fed up with all slow speed........n lags.......:(:(:confused::confused::confused:

mark can u plz tell me ......shall i go fr this if my requirements are these..

a) stable phone to pick and make calls..without any lag..

b) internet browsing..

camera and bt hardly matters for me...

and yah can i flash this over cm7 rom..???
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Well if you want stability your best bet is a good old Froyo ROM with a reliable kernel and a mild over clock. Currently CM9 will just not be stable enough for the average Joe to use. Even on my SGS2 it still doesn't work right.

Perhaps in the distant future someone could port Boot to Gecko which I tried last night and it is amazingly fast. I have never seen a phone load web pages that quickly.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ajay.d96:
Exactly! now im clear in the view point of camera. It crashes for people who have i5801, and it doesnt crash for those who have i5800.. Same in my case! Anyways, if i look on to the camera libraries, i think i can find a way out for the crash.

if i fix the camera, then i think my stabilia rom would be based on your build most likely..

Mark, you are rocking here in galaxy 3 forum ! and i know you always will

GODSPEED !!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Nah its not that. It doesn't work for me either. It did for a bit then it crapped out. I will try the camera libs from the other ICS build.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ajay.d96:

It might be a while depending on how big the issue is.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ajay.d96:
What ! are you able to unpack zimage with mizch's script ? or you have any other script to decompile zimage ??

i've been asking many poeple and several devs ! But i just cant get to decompile zimage using mizch's script in 12.04 LTS X86

:( please help me in this buddy :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Post the error you are getting, and try using the script made for s2 (unpacking will work fine, but it'll need changes to repack)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ajay.d96:
thanks.. ill try.. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
I just tried and it doesn't work for me either. Odd.

But I'm not too concerned myself as I never use unpacking kernels as I already have a good base initramfs set up for stock, ICS, G3MOD and Kyorakernel.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
I might release one later today.

Why are you asking for those in an ICS thread? This is as far from stock as you can get.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
Hello Hillbeast, long time no see, have I been missed in the forums, or have you been neglecting me? :p

I would like to ask of how fast this rom would be should you turn off animations? Compared to your most excellent Froyo ROM, which I treasure very much indeed, as one of the very best, if not there on the throne already...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] z3c0:
If I may add my observation here, I don't get the impression that the ICS animations are a strain on the ROM's overall performance. Even the screen rotation, which is probably the most complex animation here, probably doesn't affect the timing much.

The animations even give the impression of the device behaving smoother because they fill gaps during which the OS often wouldn't respond anyway ...or so I suspect.

Aren't the animations done entirely by the GPU now? I never seem to see them lag, even if the OS is under severe load.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
Can you please inform me then, of how responsive the system is? I have quite a heavy setup that I do not wish to disturb unless ICS is better... Last time I used ICS it was not a very pleasurable experience. But that was Ice3forge.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rajputrajat:
In my phone volume rocker and home keys are broken...

So getting out of non-touch recovery is nightmare ...

could you please add CWM TOUCH recovery in the next builds...

Thanks for your work.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] z3c0:
I was on CM7.2 until Kyorarom Serenity came out. I was pretty sure I was only gonna test it for a few hours because of all the missing features, but instead I ended up using it permanently. Pretty much everything seems to be faster around here, except perhaps the time you have to wait for the task-switcher after long-pressing home. (Takes perhaps 1-2s longer. It's neat though how you can throw out running apps by swiping them away.)

I'm not sure whether the ICS-versions of Google Apps are much faster than before but it should be noted that they look & feel much nicer.

Google Maps still has that slight openFIMG graphics glitch as in 7.2 but it's perfectly usable and is probably more responsive than before.

The stock browser has improved a lot I think. It doesn't get a better score at JS-benchmarks but I'm pretty sure it renders faster and scrolls smoother.

As for the almost 100 apps I installed on top of this, almost none seems to run worse than before. I even keep TweetDeck running in the background which seemed to bog the system down in 7.2.

Only one app is having problems (the newsreader app GoodNews keeps tacitly closing itself until I start it ~3-4 times consecutively) but that could be my fault because I keep meddling with that apps /data contents.

Of course there's no way of testing apps whose functionalities aren't yet implemented on this ROM (like camera & audio recording. see first page).

Also ScummVM is merely showing a black screen, which might point to some further graphics problems. I'm not a huge gamer.

Battery backup might have improved too, or so it seemed immediately after switching. However there are always lots of factors that might muddy that impression, so I'm not entirely sure now.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Well I can't really say how fast it is as my G3 is no longer my main phone. When I have poked around with it, it feels alright but unfortunately having an S2 right next to it makes everything seem slow as hell so I can't be a judge on performance. I may be fooling myself but I feel Froyo and CM7 are faster, but again that's probably just me being weird, and it is more just animations are a bit jerky. The actual operation of the phone runs fine and feels pretty good, but again I can't be a judge because I don't use it enough to see.

Serenity is still very much an alpha build.

I cannot for the life of me find the source code for a good working touch based CWM. They all don't compile, let alone work. If someone can point me to one then I will do it, but if I implement it I'm gonna have to fix up those buttons anyways because it drives me wild in G3MOD. None of the physical buttons do anything: the reason I wasn't sad to see CWM Touch go.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ajay.d96:
you could have asked earlier

https://github.com/Napstar-xda/android_bootable_recovery

For info : CWM 5.8.3.1 Build is the best to get working :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
I see. I shall wait then.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Thanks. I'll see if it works for me.

Well give it a go and do a backup first and if it doesn't work right then just flash back to your backup.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nishant_713:
Will you add HD2SD support back in that release... thats what is stopping me to update after the last update... i don't want to mess wid my phone again....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
I shall try that later on during the week.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Shree_Jamdar:
Exactly, I have never seen a smartphone that boots in 3 seconds and shut down in half a second! Boot2Gecko could potentially be the best OS ever.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Yeah it didn't work. Most of the recoveries were coded for Gingerbread not ICS.

But never mind, Dharam pointed me to xxTouch which does work. Its working fine on my S2 but the screen is the wrong size on the G3 so I need to adjust that.

I need to rewrite HD2SD. The old method is too ugly for my new code. I was thinking up ideas for it last night.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] z3c0:
Here's what I did to make it work for me. I edited /system/etc/init.local.rc and inserted the following after the line “# CyanogenMod Extras". However this is a very custom-tailored solution which assumes that you used to move app & dalvik-cache to your sd-ext partition before (i.e. using data2sd.dirs) and that both corresponding directories in /data are empty when the device boots.

mount rootfs rootfs / rw remount

symlink /sdext /sd-ext
rmdir /data/app
rmdir /data/dalvik-cache
symlink /sdext/app /data/app
symlink /sdext/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

mount rootfs rootfs / ro remount

Of course this does nothing in terms of the multiosdata functionality, it's merely a quick fix for enthusiasts who can't wait for HD2SD to be restored by hillbeast. Since it's working fine for me, I thought I'd share even if it's messy. (would prefer to use etc/init.d/ but nothing gets called there)

Don't use this if you don't know what it's doing.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] reddead66:
serenity as in joss whedon's firefly??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ajay.d96:
great work ! :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
HD2SD v2 is working now. Currently testing it. If people are impatient they can build the kernel from source and use that.

Serenity as in another cool word ending with 'ity'.

xxTouch isn't working right. It won't install ZIPs, and I can't figure out how to change the resolution. Does anyone know how to work CWM 5.5?

I'm going to go back to normal CWM 5.5 until I can figure it out.

Sony Ericsson xperia arc rebooting itself and not loading the home screen

Why does my Sony Ericsson xperia arc LT15a suddenly rebooting itself and not even loading the home screen?

I have Sony Ericsson xperia arc LT15a and suddenly the phone started to reboot itself, im assuming its low memory to load the OS main screen. now, i have important data on the phone internal memory under the app called NoteEverything and im desperately trying to retrieve it somehow. Is there a way to start up the xperia Arc in safe mode and delete some apps to free up memory? OR should i open the phone and disconnect some hardware maybe this will free up memory?? How can i copy the ROM info which is the internal memory of the phone to another device or extra storage??

What should i do, what do you suggest? I am willing to do the impossible to have it up and running so at least i get my data backup!!!

PS i don’t want to use the pc companion and delete my internal ROM coz it will delete everything and i don’t want this in the first place
[Xperia Arc General] Marchello1:
kurunage already opened thread like this long time before, that files are made for arc s, and because of that, there is no use from it if u flash on arc s, everything will be the same.

arc 380MB of internal memory

arc s 420 MB

its good thing if u using arc, but there are some bugs, u cannot wipe your data in recovery, not sure but i think that u also cannot use zipalign or fix permitions and things like that, so its better not to use that files..

I just installed Marvel ROM yesterday, no idea if this has anything to do with my problem. After I installed the ROM it automatically downloaded all my Apps from the market. My phone had never done this before, but it was OK because I was on WiFi. Then I uninstalled a bunch of apps that I didn't want. While I was out at a bar last night, my phone downloaded all the apps that I deleted again and used up 50 MB of my data plan. This is not cool because I only have 300 MB I can use at 3G speed every month. Why did my phone just download those apps? I don't want them!
[LG Optimus Black] mullarameez:
Just goto settings->Privacy and untick the backup my data and restore my data that all your problem will be solved. The OS is backing up your data on google account and restoring it when needed so just disable it.
