ok..the SDK is installing. Now I need to figure out how to get files onto the phone by using SDK. Help please??:confused:

this has been a tremendous learning opportunity!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You should be able to mount using USB Storage mode (the window will pop up on your phone). Your computer will recognize your phone as an sd card reader and let you read the contents of your SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
I just moved them all.... Uh oh?

I should have asked with this Rom what needs to stay on internal memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theoctavist:
yeah thats the problem... the phone is no longer recognized.

no option pops up on the phone or anything.

I dont even see how to toggle USB storage mode with AOKP...cant find the option as I normally do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
Did you click the big box on the phone that says connect usb and it changes color? Or in cwm mount as usb?

I'm having network issues my speeds are very slow now. Prior to ice cream sandwich my data would be 4 g now it's only 3 g. I went from 10 megabytes to 1mbps. Could I switch kernel's?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Where are you getting those speeds from? Use an app like speedtest to verify. Post screenshots of your speeds on GB and your speeds on this ROM.

Anyone else notice that the audio isn't nearly as good (quality or loudness) as the gb roms?

It's okay, but noticeably less than Valhalla. I have voodoo pro, but it seems to do very little when adjusting things.

Is there a better audio app or will there be a different audio driver later?

Btw... I'm using the same headphones as I had before..... trying to setup dsp manager... I'll see if that helps.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
Could part of the problem be its playing through the earpiece simultaneously??

As for batch operations its best to enable usb debugging and then restart your phone before restoring. I ran into an issue where it would lock up extracting from a backup i made in TWRP, animation would continue but percentage would stay stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] abodd:
To be honest, its working again, its not 10mbps but 7-8mbps. Ics in general causes network issues. Thanks for aokp!!!

Voodoo sound is kinda broken. Its been discussed couple different times. Some people claim it works while others cant get it to work. Ive been using awesome beats for a while now. Its really just trial and error until you find something that works for you. FTR voodoo sound is being worked on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
How do I download and apply the latest ics kernel to my rom??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
You need to setup a build environment, then port the kernel to our phone. Once that is done you would need to compile it and then share it with people.

As for the SGH-T959V kernels all of the current flavors of ice cream have it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
Is anyone else have trouble with the power saver settings? I have it set up so my data switches to 2G after my screen is off for 5 minutes. However, my data turns off completely about 5 seconds after I turn my screen off. Also, if I have data off, the power saver settings will turn it on once my screen comes back on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Lol I meant like how do I download team acids latest GB kernel for ICS roms? The one that's used for CM9
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
There isnt a downloadable zip of that. You need to be on GB and rooted to flash ICS flavors so there isnt a need for a stand alone kernel yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
On TMobile stock roms it shows 4g not H.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Ohh OK thanks man, wanted to update the kernel in paranoid rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theoctavist:
thats the problem

there is no box that pops up that says mount as USB (or usb connected or whatever) .. the computer doesn't pick it up at all.

the phone isnt communicating with the PC since I installed AOKP.

can I mount as USB from CWM??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
All of our roms are built from a source that is not stock ics for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. They are based on aosp and cm9. Which uses a industry standard for designating the types of data connection. So the reason it shows up as H instead of 4G is because the industry says its not true 4G service and is considered 3G+. The icon for 3G+ is the H symbol. So unless you feel like modifying the source from which the roms are built you will have to deal with having H in your notification bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
The audio quality on all our ics roms has been pretty crappy. On my phone with my new headphones, I can hear when the audio is enabled even if there isn't any audio playing yet. There's an audible hiss. It makes me very sad since the Wolfson chip in this phone is one of the best
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] redjama:
Has anyone else noticed that the screenshots are blurry or pixelated? Is there a fix for this I dont know about?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Try not to touch the screen until like a second after you take the screen shot. That fixed it for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
It's a just graphic -- T-Mobile isn't about to stick a graphic in that says "HSPA+" when all their marketing says "4G"

CyanogenMod is "honest" about things and "calls it as they sees it"

All this is pretty amusing as, last I checked, there isn't a ITU spec for just what "4G" means yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Actually

" In March 2008, the International

Telecommunications Union-Radio

communications sector (ITU-R) specified a

set of requirements for 4G standards, named

the International Mobile Telecommunications

Advanced (IMT-Advanced) specification,

setting peak speed requirements for 4G

service at 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s)

for high mobility communication (such as

from trains and cars) and 1 gigabit per

second (Gbit/s) for low mobility

communication (such as pedestrians and

stationary users)."

Later it was changed to include any technology that shows a definite improvement over 3G technologies, UMTS, EVDO rev A, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
I knew I wasn't losing my mind! Thanks! I have a killer set of Lenntek earbuds that I got for a steal at costco about a year and a half ago. They make every other pair I have tried sound like complete trash. They still sound great, but the ROM is missing that little extra that makes the sound extraordinary. I sure hope it gets fixed in ICS.

I did manage to get DSP Manager setup, although everything seems to work, it doesn't seem to make much difference in the audio when you make changes.

BTW... while I get pretty good battery life compared to a stock phone... I sure do miss the two days of battery life I used to get with Valhalla. But the UI in AOKP is way too sweet to go back!

AGGGHHHH! I keep getting soft reboots everytime I try to open USB storage. I've tried wiping caches and fixing permissions, but no luck. Gonna get a log hopefully. First problem I've had with this that I couldn't fix easily.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
I notice a lot of UI sounds are in the format of .ogg. Is there an easy way to convert audio files to that format? I would like to change my lock and unlock sound to the sound of chambering a round, then a gunshot.

Edit: I figured out why connecting USB storage was making my phone reboot. It had somthing to do with the theme. Once I reapplied a theme, it stopped rebooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
ext3/4 aren't supported on our ICS roms.

EDIT

Let me rephrase that.

ext3/4 aren't supported filesystems for the internal partitions on ICS roms. There's only support for mounting other drives as ext3/4.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
You can use any mp3. Just place it on your SD card, and using a file manager (es file explorer) change the extension from .mp3 to .ogg
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
You probably do want to transcode to ogg with a codec intended for mobile audio as it tends to be much more space effective. Google is likely your friend for a finding a good converter, as I only use `Nix command-line tools for that kind of thing

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] avrillapete:
For anyone having really awful battery life, think about how long you've had your phone. I've had mine for about a year and a half, so say 550 days of use. I normally charge at about 30% because draining beyond that can actually hurt the battery. For simplicity's sake, say I do that almost every day, that works out to about 380 full charges. Most batteries are rated for 500, before they are considered "bad" which I believe is 70% capacity? I for one am enjoying my phone a lot more, so with me using it more, and the fact that my battery was old, my battery life was pretty bad.

So, even though there are a few bugs like mediaserver(which is NOT just with the SGS4g) and other things, there are many fixes. If, even after you try the fixes, your battery life is still unsatisfactory, maybe it's time to grab a new battery. I picked up the Samsung OEM 1800 mah battery off of Amazon for $15 shipped.

This may be atypical, but here's my comparison.

Old battery, even after trying all the fixes including proper calibration:

New battery, after calibration(basically did the laptop battery routine with a batter stats wipe for good measure, even though it's not supposed to help):

To me, that was worth the $15. These weren't just one time deals, the old battery life stats were pretty typical for the few weeks I was using the rom. The new battery life has been the same every day for a week since I got the battery. This isn't EXACT science, but my usage is pretty much the same every day.

What can I use modem?

I have a weak signal networks, 3G almost inaccessible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Wanted to add for reference, that I'm experiences poor batter performance on this ROM. I'ts bad enough, that I believe it to be the most major issue. Not sure what the deal is. I'll look into this and see if I can't figure out what is causing this massive drain on power. Fully charged, I unplugged. Started setting up my desktop and rearranging my homescreen, and in about an hour and a half, I went from full charge to %60. The phone was not being used THAT much, and I sure as hell didn't do anything intensive. I'll give the battery another full charge, then use it for a set time and post a screen of my usage. Stay posted.

For me, CM9 was the best ROM I've used for battery life..... this is the worst. Hope it gets sorted, Whitehawk and Team Acid have been doing amazing things!

if you don't want an audio editor this is a very simple and versatile freeware converter.

http://www.koyotesoft.com/audio-software/free-mp3-wma-converter.html

fyi, it also may install a freeware editor too...very simple, nothing fancy...in case you have to edit a sys sound/ring tone whatever, it can also output ogg and other formats as well.

don't just change your file extension do the conversion...you'll find that the ogg format is much better than mp3, besides ogg being open source it is a much higher quality format especially with system type sounds...you can really crunch these things down to very low bit rates with a far better sound quality than mp3 and other formats, plus you'll keep your audio file sizes down to minimum....hope this helps, pm me if you have any questions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I'm going to have to chime in about doing audio file conversions.

If you're going from a lossy format (mp3, ogg vorbis) then you WILL lose quality when you make the conversion. I know it doesn't matter much for something like a ringtone but you should be aware of what happens when you convert the files.

You want the source file (the one you convert from) to be as high quality as possible, meaning a lossless file: a CD track, FLAC file, WAV file, Apple Lossless file, etc. Something where the quality stayed intact. Once you start using lossy formats and converting between lossy formats the quality will degrade very quickly.

If you do want to convert your music to OGG format you want to go from a lossless format to OGG directly, not

Lossless -> MP3 -> OGG

Voodoo works for me if I reboot to recovery and fix permissions. The analogue volume starts working and the hiss from the crap DSP noise floor goes away....so does the audio coming thru the earpiece....Problem is it only stays working for as long as I'm listening to music, if I stop listening for any period of time I have to reboot and fix permissions to get it working again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
There is an option to fix permissions on boot, check that and then reboot after you finish listening to music
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
Fixing permissions after listening to music doesn't help man. It only fixes it if you do it right before listening...something else is causing voodoo to F up under normal phone usage. Plus fixing permissions on every boot is going to make for a boot time that would make me want to smash this phone lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Ahh ok I see what you're saying. If you want nice sound, take the music.apk from nexus beam. One of the team unknown guys, I think dao, did some really awesome enhancements to it, you don't have to change any settings cuz it sounds awesome at boot

You can use Nova to add an icon that will launch the SoundRecorder intent. (Long-press desktop, Shortcuts, Activities, Sound Recorder, Sound Recorder)

Is there a different kernel I can use on this rom?? Having a tiny Bluetooth issue that annoys the hell outta me while I'm at work. Didn't do it with the stock kernel only after I flashed. I've had the same problem on different roms with different phones and swapping the kernel always fixed it or reduced it a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I am assuming that means that you didn't have the problem on stock GB, but are with ICS.

What kind of problem? If anything, I have found the Bluetooth support to be much more robust using the TeamAcid ICS-compatible platform than under GB. Your issue may not be kernel related. If there is a ROM issue, finding out more about the problem would help resolve it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Today I was running Google Navigation (for the first time under ICS) and noticed that turn-by-turn directions were in a surprisingly understandable female voice, but that they lacked the street names and descriptions from previous versions.

Have I somehow failed to install something?

I weld all day at work so the problem Im having may be a frequency problem. As said before every phone I've flashed it has done the same thing until I find a different kernel it wont do it with. Basically while I'm welding I listen to music via my headset...the music constantly is cutting in and out as soon as I'm done welding it stops doing it. Also I have a distance of about 10-20 feet before the Bluetooth disconnects from the phone. I've swapped kernels on other roms and its always either fixed it or just about got rid of the problem. Just curious to whether or not we have other kernels available for ICS that will work on this rom. No problems other then that, love the rom.

For the ics roms right now no there isnt another kernel available.
