Update 1.1.0 properly and completely removes CarrierIQ.

It’s possible that CIQ was doing a lot more than I though. Quite a bit more, actually. Found some code integrated into the framework that I really didn’t like. So I went through all system .jar and .apk files and removed all CIQ metric submissions and related code. These included WebKit, CallTracker, SMSDispatcher, InputMethodService, WindowManagerService, ActivityManagerService, LocationManagerService, MMS package, etc. After all references were gone, completely removed the CIQ Agent files from ext.jar. Now there is no CIQ in this ROM whatsoever.

Note: There is a message in the log about starting some carrieriq service on boot. Because I could not remove BOOT_COMPLETED permissions in AndroidManifest.xml without resigning certificates, I left the handler there (otherwise there’d be an error splash on boot), but the executed code does exactly nothing. Ironically this is the only code that was originally removed by Krylon, and now I'm putting it back...

Thanks to stephen_w for testing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
Just so I'm clear, I've been running this since the second update (not comfortable with the steps needed to move up to the newer ROMs plus don't see the need for my purposes), do I have to wipe/reformat the system to get rid of carrierIQ files?

PS, thanks for the work that you do

Edit: loving the boot image/animation
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
No, you just flash over what you have. However, you may have to re-install any apps/apks that it removes by default.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I have a question.

Anybody's using T-Mobile Visual Voice Mail? I don't want to use it, but Phone.apk is tied to it to show voicemail notifications. I found a simple way to patch this and remove this dependency, so my notifications now work just fine without VVM installed. The thing is - I'm not sure how VVM will function with the patch and will it work at all for people who still want to use it. If it doesn't, a solution could be to put back the unpatched Phone.apk.

So - opinions? Should I patch it in the next release?

If other KJ6-based ROM developers want to apply the patch, I can tell them what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I use it. If you want to share the patch I'll give it a whirl.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
You use it because you got to use it to have voicemail notifications, or you just like using it for some features? I really don't know what it does, I think I never ever even started it. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
VVM downloads your voicemail to store and play on the phone without having to dial voicemail box. It's not a bad feature but awesome you figured out how to get notifications without it.

I am thinking the majority who do not want it have not looked at it. You just have to open an app to check voicemail similar to google voice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
It literally gives you a display of who called you, when, how long the voice mail is, and control buttons that allow you to play, pause, turn on the speaker phone, and to delete the VM. I use it for those features & not just for notification.

Here is a screen shot of it:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I see.

VVM itself should work fine. The patch was only for notifications. The logic was like this: 1) check VVM database for voicemail messages; 2) If nothing there (for any reason, doesn't matter no messages or a failed call) bypass all other code and clear notifications. What I did, I just removed the VVM database check and the bypass. The rest of the code (which is still there, I compared it to an unbranded I9000) does its things and checks for voicemail the regular way. So it may work fine in the end, just a different way. The notifications will be shown, and the VVM app can still be launched to check messages.

Here is patched version, you can try it. If it works for everybody I'll move it to the OP.

Been running valhalla black for a long time now, and it was starting to feel unstable. Been looking for a decent rom to replace it. Development isn't as active as it used to be, so I felt like I've been waiting forever! Then I stumble upon your ROM, read the description, and install. I sorta miss the theme and lockscreens of VB, but this rom feels so much faster and 100x more stable. The only app that crashes is draw something, but that thing is a POS.

Great job, keep up the good work.

EDIT: Updated to the new version. LOVE the boot animation.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Interesting. I've been using Draw Something without a problem. No crashes here.

what about adding the CRT On??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I don't like CRT-On, it's distracting. I want the screen to appear instantaneously, especially because I don't use lockscreens. CRT TVs never did this when turned on anyway :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] avrillapete:
What ROM did you come from? Me and my sister were/are both running Valhalla black, and the game freezes the entire phone A LOT for both of us. Such a bad lockup the phone has to be restarted by holding the power button.

Good Job

I can say it is the most reliable rom I've ever used. Thanks for your hard works.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] primus123:
I am having major battery issues. Need some help as to why.

I turn phone off at night and charge, phone will say fully charged but when I turn it on it is around 60%, if I leave it sit for about 20 mins without doing anything it will gradually go up, to about 90%, never reaches 100%.

While phone is on, I can charge it and it will be at the blue state showing 100%, as soon as I unplug it it drops to about 60%, and does same thing as above.

I have tried different cables, I have fully charged it and then wiped battery stats and charged t, but still the same thing

Any ideas, suggestions
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Anybody else is having this? I don't have any battery issues, it's perfectly normal. I remember somebody reported something weird with the battery. Or was it your message as well? I think it was, something about PC shutting down?

What you describing is almost classic case of a dead battery. It does not take a lot of charge, it discharges very quickly, and it can actually take so much current that it's almost a short so the source overloads (PC shuts down.)

Btw what ROM were you coming from? Something that already had 1% battery mod? If not, the stock battery indicator is very rough, it's hard to tell 90% charge from 60%. Maybe it was going on like this for awhile and you never noticed?

It can be something wrong with the phone itself, the charging circuitry.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] primus123:
Yeah, that was my original message about the phone shutting down when connecting to PC.

I came from stock, and had never had any battery issues,

I would start work at 5am. I would run Pandora for about 4hrs at work. I would get about 20hrs off a full charge.

I first noticed it happen, I had charged to 100%, shut off, took battery out, placed SD card in CPU, to transfer music. When I replaced battery and turned back on is when I noticed that it was reading 60%, then it would gradually gain, but decline just as fast.

I'm ordering a new battery today, when I receive it I'll post if there are any changes.

I usually don't plug it in until I receive the alert that it is at 20%.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I was on stock but debloated previously. I also have done a complete wipe of my phone (steps in previous posts in this thread). I think the game's only locked up like that on me once, and it was before I installed this ROM.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

I've experienced faster battery drain on this ROM as well. Nothing as drastic as what the previous posted stated, though. I just know it seems to die a bit quicker. I don't want to rush to judgement about the problem (for me), though, as it's possible I'm using the phone for calls a lot more lately.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] koolfoolx:
Does the gps work correctly as it should? And my 4G goes to edge and then just cuts off completely sometimes. But when it works it works great. Im sorry, im new in the galaxy 4g forums, i just upgraded from a nexus one :P. Thanks for any help! BTW, this is a great rom, if you wanna keep the stock look, but also get a massive increase in speed and stability.

No issues with this ROM! I used the 1-Click Gremlin prior to installation.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Arhtard:
antonx -

love your work

unfortunately i am unable to run a rooted device due to employment reasons,

so for now, i can't run your rom or any other thats pre-rooted.

would you possibly share your procedure for patching the phone.apk to receive native voicemail notifications without visual voicemail installed?

i tried using your phone.apk and phone.odex with no success.

i've been using tweaks and mods via shell root to obtain goals without rooting and would like to use this as well.

as a side note i'm on kj6 also.

i know this isn't the q & a forum but i'm hoping for your help on this particular subject.

thanks in advance

ps - yer a genius!

I wonder how they know if you have root. Do they actually check your phone? If you used some root hiding app, would they still detect it?

Anyway, check your PMs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] primus123:
There are business apps that check security. And look for the su permissions. My job just came out with the ability to use their software on mobile phones to check email. I installed it and it sent me an email saying my phone was rootex or jailbroken. So it almost uninstalled it self.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Arhtard:
I appreciate your help antonx. Yeah my company also has an app that checks for SU. Have a great day.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
After you install this ROM can you not use SuperSU's "Full unroot" feature?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Only temporarily, until next reboot. The kernel will detect missing su and re-root again. It's also possible that by the time you manually unroot the security app would already raise the alarm.

If somebody really needs an unrooted ROM, it's possible to disable auto-rooting. It's a voodoo extension script that roots the device, so an easy solution would be to create some file with a predefined name on /sdcard or in /data, the script will check its presence, and will remove su binary and Superuser.apk.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
And this is the reason I did not add auto-rooting to the initramfs. Not everyone wants there phone to be auto rooted.

If they want to root there phone, Install a rom that is rooted or use superoneclick. just sayin ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twisted03:
Had my first encounter with a problem on this rom, i cant say it is the rom or not but since all im running is antonX's rom and kernal with LZ, i figure it has something to do with something...doing a wipe and restore at the moment but it wasnt anything serious...

Still a very good a stable rom by far the best in my opinion since it does everything i want from a rom..

Thanks antonX
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
What happened? when I tried to apply lz it erased most of my data and gave me fc's all over at boot
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twisted03:
Phone just went haywire and kept rebooting, so I went to recovery did a full wipe then reinstalled everything again... Working great at the moment...are you trying to run the same setup as me?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
"lz" stands for "lightning zap"? Dangerous stuff... Never used it, never will.

Btw did you try to reflash just the ROM without wiping /data? I wonder what got damaged, the system or data (databases or something like that.)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twisted03:
Have no idea, all this happened after i tried to flash cm7. but before that i had absolutely no problems whats so ever with this rom...

LZ loaded up just fine both times i put it on, havent had any problems with it..

Does adrenaline shots 14-1 interfere with setcpu profiles? Curious to hear what tweaks you guys are using with this rom and if AS 14-1 is a good combo with this rom as it worked great with previous roms.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ReelFiles:
My Quick panel doesn't seem to have this mod. I "upgraded" from CM7.2 and installed ADW EX, not sure if one of these actions would affect the mod. Is it possible to add it via flashable .zip?

Thank you, love the ROM, best one yet and trust me, I've pretty much tried them all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
You mean the second button is not Data? The panel doesn't scroll?

This can only happen if something overwrote /system/app/SystemUI.apk (and .odex) Did you install any other mods?

To restore the file just reflash the ROM, it takes less than 5 minutes. No need to do anything special, just flash and reboot. Your data will be untouched.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ReelFiles:
Exactly, the second button was BT and not scrollable.

Originally I was on CM7.2, but installed your 1.1.1 release after wiping everything. I installed gapps, ran the Dalvik Optimizer, added padded kg4 modem and TWRP on 1.1.1 then upgraded to 1.1.2. Weird thing is I don't remember it ever scrolling. Reflashing 1.1.2 soft-bricked my phone so now I fixed that and I am about to re-install 1.1.2, checking functionality between flashing mods. I'll let you know if I come across the culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Ouch. What padded modem? This ROM don't need anything padded, it has modem in a partition. Just find regular flashable KG4 if KJ6 doesn't work for you. Don't run Dalvik optimizer, the ROM is ODEXed already. Don't install Gapps, it's not CM7. Not sure if TWRP is compatible with BML ROMs at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ReelFiles:
WOW (facepalm). I am an idiot. My bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DnickDominic:

I'm having problems installing this rom... Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

This is the following steps that I did and no go.

Stock+Root on KJ6

flash kernel Basic with a Twist 1.1.3 and reboot into recovery with Quickboot

wipe data/cache

flash rom

wipe data/cache/dalvik cache/fix permision

system reboot

After that, I'm stock on galaxy s 4g logo. I let it sit for 20mins and still no response.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Was this your first attempt to get on Gingerbread? Does the phone boot properly after installing the Stock+Root on KJ6? It almost sounds like you don't have the boot loaders installed. I assume you're using a 1-click to get Stock+Root. if that's the case, flash it twice & the 2nd time make sure you have "Flash Bootloaders" checked.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HingWah:
The phone boots fine after rooting since I'm using sgs kernel flasher and quickboot to get into cwm recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
If you flash the kernel without going into recovery, fixing perms, wiping caches, etc...does it boot?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HingWah:
Yes, I have done that as well... Linda finishes the conversion and it boots fines.

I boot into recovery, flashed the rom twice (it finished fines), wipe data, wipe cache, dalvik, fix permission, reboot system and it gets stock into Logo again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
This ROM boots fine or are you referring to something you're flashing prior to flashing this ROM?

I'm not sure why you would flash this ROM twice. Which version of this ROM are you trying to flash? I had problems early on with it not booting up and getting stuck at the boot logo, but that was fixed in later versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
HingWah, can you still boot to the blue CWM? If you can, flash the ROM again, don't do anything else (there is no need), reboot, let it sit on the logo for few minutes (3-5), connect with ADB and pull logcat with "adb logcat -d >logfile.log". Post the log file someplace.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HingWah:
Ok here is what I did.

I got the phone back to Stock KJ6 with Odin.

Used superoneclick to root it.

Installed SGS Flasher with Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 1.1.3.

Reboot, let it sit for 10mins after Linda finished converting files.

Reboot into Blue CWM, flash ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-antsvx.1.1.2.

Reboot system on CWM menu and now stock on Galaxy S 4G logo.

Waited 10mins still on logo. Plug phone to computer ran adb logcat

and I get "-waiting for device -"

Sounds like when you're flashing that system isn't getting mounted or you have a really bad download of the rom... I would say redownload the rom and check the md5... repeat the steps you did before but before you flash the rom go to mounts &storage in recovery. Set the first 4 like this (in order) unmount, mount, mount & unmount then go back to install zip and flash the rom...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HingWah:
When I check in the mount and storage it must "read"

Mount cache

Unmount data

Unmount sd-card

Mount system

???

Because my first option, it reads "mount efs"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
You may want to flash a different modem. Although I don't have any issues with the included KJ6, some people have better luck with older versions. Use this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
HingWah, weird problem. Will your phone boot after you go back to stock (with ODIN) and then just flash the 1.1.3 kernel and try to reboot? In this case you'd be on ext4 kernel but still running stock ROM. With that we at least separate kernel vs ROM problem. Would be interesting to check the partitions after linda is done (adb shell mount) and look at the file system to see if all files are there.

Has anybody else tried going from RFS to this ROM? I never tried this, I'm on ext4 since I don't remember when.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I can't remeber if I did. I can try to test it later, if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HingWah:
With stock ROM KJ6 and your kernel it works fines... no trouble at all running.

I tried different kernel to see if that helps and still no go. The UMMU didnt work either. I even tried to set it the other way to see if it's my misunderstanding which is MUUM lol but still no luck.
