Would be interested to know exactly what things you're referring to, that don't work in 4.2 but do in RC5? This is a genuine question, as I haven't found any problems with 4.2 (but I acknowledge that I don't use/haven't tested all the features).

So, for the benefit of the "changelog" for this RC5 it would be really good if you could let us know what these things are.

In terms of improvements to stability and speed, personally I believe that these are minor. (based on the change of android version from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4... if they had been significant changes, we would have seen this reflected in the number, e.g. 4.1.0)

Little off-topic question: Any possibility to install TouchWiz UX from SGS III on this ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheBigX:
Is there a thread (how-to) to recreate the imei manually?

Yesterday, I saw that the rom has killed my imei too... really a bad thing, because it happened never before (I've got a new one months ago and I haven't made a backup of efs)...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scubadude:
Generally if you haven't made a backup then you need to flash a stock gb rom to get it back. As you will be coming from ics you will need odin, pit512, stock rom (3 files - pda, phone, csc). You can find everything on sammobile.com or if you check out the ics333 tutorial in the general section there is a single download with everything you need to get a stock rom up and running. Also more thorough instructions on restoring imei if you have that backup folder.

Before you do this check to make sure you don't have a folder called back up on your sd card. Some roms seem to create this. If you do you want the files in the efs folder, copy them with root explorer and paste them into efs folder in root and reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
YAY! You're back! I've been using your from since the day I got my phone! How do I update? On your site it says just to flash it with our cleaning any cache or formatting system or anything. I'm scared. Shall I just flash it like you said?

PS. Continue your good work :3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
wow. the biggest issues, as it has been a long time since I went away from 4.2, in no particular order:

- Random reboots (both when using and not using the phone)

- non-responsive lockscreen

- duplicate media files

- battery drain

- weird colors

I had all that in 4.2, not so anymore in RC5
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Aaaah, yes. Duplicate songs. Most annoying thing ever!

That because your on wrong thread my friend. Go to Q & A section and post as a new topic including all the details such as your ROM version etc I'm pretty sure someone will help you out
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
somebody said this would work, have not tried it myself:

Then you need to type *#272*Device IMEI# in the dial pad of your Samsung Galaxy .

3) After this select the desired CSC.

4) Your device will automatically reboot afterwards.

but nitrality also has an option to do it (but I have not used it myself)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] androidified:
Follow up...!!!

I fixed the Force Close error for both Youtube and Camera App by flashing the latest Devil Kernel "Devil2_0.94" but I'm a fan of Voodoo Color so I flashed the Kernel "Devil2_0.79" which supports Voodoo Color. Unfortunately with this Kernel I know I cannot record the 720p videos using the Camera App which is not a deal breaker for me. Youtube and MXPlayer can play HD videos. I still couldn't figure out why the default Email App is not working with Live Mail, so I got the Hotmail App from the Play Store which is working fine for me. The fact that the Email App doesn't work with Hotmail sort of bothers me, I'm sure there is a solution for this just need to find it yet.

Other than this my phone is working perfectly fine, with the recent Devil Kernel the performance has improved as well. I've over-clocked my phone to 1.3GHz and my RAM is now 402MB which is awesome. My battery lasts more than 16 hours which is good enough for my heavy usage.

Galaxy S3 got released in India for 43,000INR, I think I will hold on to my i9000 for few more months, hoping to see a Jelly Bean update too for my good old phone from your awesome Team.

Thanks Team Nyx :)

not sure why it happened to me, i also noticed many complaining abt the the same issue, others seem to have no problem with it. got something to do with the modem? before u flash RC5 make sure u backup ur efs folder, so u can restore ur IMEI back if anything might happen.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tkbf:
Just flashed RC5 over RC4.2.

Battery removed/reinstall before flashing, and enter CWM by using volume button.

Only wipe cache and delvik, Wipe data/Factory reset was not executed.

No bootloops, no abnormal situation observed by now, great work Nyx team!

However, is RC5 patched with hugemem configuration or not?

bootloops after inserting simcard

Here's my experience:

Installation went fine (devil kernel/TWRP) no bootloops.

A few hours later I shutdown the phone, insert my simcard to do some tests, still everything working fine.

I shut down the phone again, remove the simcard and the bootloops start.. can't get into recovery anymore either. (removing battery doesn't do a thing)

Reinserting the sim doesn't help either.

Bug on RC5

I found a bug (this bug was also on ICSSGS RC4.XX)

Sometimes, when I receive a call, I can't answer because the touch screen is not working.

I must press power button to shut off the screen and press another time power button to power on the screen. Then I can answer the call

I have also duplicate media file (I use devil2 0.94 kernel)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
no, only if you are greedy and screw up.

install nitrality, take a backup of your /efs (which has your imei), take a backup of your rom, do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the rom but with the CWM kernel and 'recommended' settings and NO wipe (because you've already done it).

Then when it boots and you configure your gmail, reboot afterwards and install midnight kernel (well that last one is just me)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SKeijmel:
running rc5 now :D everything is fine now bootloops or lost imei. devil kernel 0.94
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] legiong:
I have this problem as well. I updated to Devil 2_0.94 and thought that it had fixed the problem but I was mistaken.

I originally noticed the duplicate media files in Winamp under install of this ROM with no changes.

I thought the problem was fixed after upgrading Devil but that time I looked in PowerAmp and QuickPic, and it appears these apps scan my SD (int & ext) separately to the inbuilt Android MediaScanner. So that's why there were no duplicates.

I went into Winamp again and noticed the duplicate files were there, so Devil 2_0.94 didn't fix the problem.

I've now gone back to Stock Team Nyx RC5 and duplicate media issues still exists.

I might try another ROM like ICS333 as recommended by ivke101.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] legiong:
Thanks, I know this workaround but I'm after a permanent fix, as I don't always remember to do this every time I reboot.

The annoying thing is that other ROMs have fixed this, but they're not as responsive as this ROM.

Installed successfully from ICSSGS (RC4.2 with Semaphore 1.2.0s):

- rebooted to recovery mode

- wiped cache and dalvik cache

- installed ROM (recommended install, including TWRP)

- updated kernel to 0.94 (with Voodoo)

- rebooted (thankfully, no bootloop and IMEI issues)

Everything seems to be working and noticed slight improvement in responsiveness... Will keep monitoring...:cool:

By clearing data of Media Storage, I have no duplicated file problem anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Francois76l:
If you reboot your phone, the problem will reappear.

Same thing if you plug your phone to your computer (data storage mode) for copy\delete or just see media files

Same thing if you delete photos or videos from an android explorer...

In fact, each time the system is searching for new media files

Just be patient ;-)

Any advice how to eliminate the blink effect after you lock the screen? I tried Devil2 0.94 and Semaphore 1.2.2 both have that effect. I'm using Alt. or Punchy settings in Voodoo Color.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Francois76l:
I don't have this problem but I use devil2 0.94 kernel without Voodoo Color.

Maybe there is a link?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
I don't have it either.

maybe it is related to how you install? I did factory reset before install.

or ..... I don't know, e.g. I un-installed Gallery right away, i use Quickpic. Maybe removing gallery helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Denton.S:
Just curious, anyone know the default modem this rom uses? Seems a fair bit faster then normal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Francois76l:
Interesting, maybe Gallery is always looking for new media files

I will try Quickpic.

When I installed RC5 (I was using RC4.1 before) I reseted all the phone (factory reset, dalvik, fixed permission) before.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tazzydemon:
4.2 -> 5 Bootloops. Recovered from/

I too got the infamous bootloop after upgrading from 4.2. Once this happens you can't get into recovery mode. I was hoping to flash a semphore kernel to see if this would stop it. No luck However if you press up/home/power then eventually it will go into download mode.

I found that odin would not connect and used an early heimdall to flash an ezbase to the phone from which I reflashed 4.2. Because of no odin I could not flash a kernel on its own. I then repeated the entire process to the same effect.

I also noted that if one plugged the usb in when in the bootloop it would stop and revert to charger indicator - although this indicator did not work as such. Plugging the charger in to an off phone would also start it bootlooping - although this may be by design in ICS.

PS It did mash I my imei I think.

So again no logs available, sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lancey:
Well, it doesnt go that good as i aspected. I cant start my phone again, because of the bootloops and i cant get to the CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
at the risk of being called Captain Obvious: under settings / about phone, you can see your Baseband - that is your modem.

normally flashing a Rom does not change your modem.

It maybe that the phone is 'faster' but that would be because of the way the Rom interfaces with the modem - not the modem itself
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tkbf:
I have patched RC5 with 720p_recording-playback-support from F4k.

720p video recording is OK, but 720p playback still have problem, some 720p clips is playable, others will result in FC. In Youtube it's the same.

PS. I am using Semaphore 1.2.2, non "s" version, so the kernel should not harm 720p video record/playback.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DemonWav:
Wanted to get the update out before hand, but we are redoing our kernel and all, trying to fix all the main bugs in the next update, but after tomorrow I will be gone for two weeks, kind of a vacation.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
have you tried removing / inserting battery?

otherwise during bootloop you should still be able to get to CWM, but it depends on when you let the powerbutton go

if it still fails, then download either Semaphore or Midnight kernel via Odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] -Dante-:
I update from 4.2 and its all good except for camera and lag issues (OMG THE lag) i just flash Semaphore Kernel 1.2.2s with 720 patch and then all went just fine. Nice work guys, i wanna make two proposals remove Google Earth and add Semaphore Kernel to the AROMA Installer.

Testing

I just flash my device, above rc 4.2, no wipe data, only wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats, without any issues or boot loops.

I used the rc 4.2 at least by 3 months, and I waited this since a time ago.

By now it feel very fluid and fast, I hope that give it to me the same satisfation as the previus rc, I will tell you in a few days.

For install I choosed TWRP, and customize options and unchecked the apps that I already owned, and only wipe cache, dalvik and battery before install, without issues at all.

EFS recovery

I had my efs/imei mangle swith the 4.5 install and bootloop. I eventually recovered the efs by flashing a new GB rom with heimdall set to repartition. For some reason my Odin and ADB wont talk to the phone any more. The old efs is likely still there and will reappear.

I now put 4.2 back and notice that efs is now in a different place according to mount: but it has still been converted to yaffs.

I have flashed many roms previously and never had any problems whatsoever (with any Android phone) but I need to be cautious because this is not my phone and I am doing my brother a favor because he is atm running rc 4.2 which is full of bugs.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scubadude:
Make a backup of efs. Then flash stock gingerbread and then flash this rom. I couldn't get this rom working without flashing gb first and it trashed my imei. To restore it is a simple copy and paste from backup to current efs folder

Any chance this will be fixed in coming updates? By fixed I mean not corrupting the IMEI when flashing this rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klazpt:
IMEI only got corrupetd for a few people.

Can't make that some as a "default" faillure, because it aint.

You can get corrupted IMEi flashing any ICS based rom, no point for your sort of request tho

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lexrsk:
You don't.

I personally have had my IMEI un-touched and wiped on seperate flashes of ICS Roms. This was all ok for me as i had a backup.

I flashed SlimICS earlier and realised I had lost HW decoding. I reflashed a bit later and it was working fine. I think it might have been to do with the order I flashed the rom components.. in case anyone has the same issue.
