[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hobox10:
Just letting you know I didn't try to flash the boot.img in download mode. I never was able to connect USB Debugging. That's my whole problem. The attempt was never made in any way on the phone. I *thought* I had to flash the boot.img next, so I plugged in the phone, enabled USB Debugging, and that was it. The phone never connected to the PC. It DID work before I flashed CM9, and didn't afterwards.

Edit: As I said I'm going to run through the steps again (yes again because I did follow them last time despite what you might think) and then I'll give an update on the situation. Turns out I can't do it today, it may be a few days.

Nope not at all for me unless its been sitting in the sun and I use it it gets a little hot but not bad
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
why are we asking if we need to flash boot.img with a rom when the zip for the rom already flashes the boot.img that's contained in the zip itself? boot.img is for heimdall (not sure if for odin or not). thing i'm getting at though is when you flash a rom with cwm/twrp, it flashes everything the zip contains. boot.img is one of those things flashed. flashing the boot.img alone is basically if you just want to flash a kernel that you prefer that's not included in the rom you're flashing. just my $0.02 worth. ;)

MMS

I don't know if it's my phone but mms-es are a bit buggy.

I send messages, they go through sometimes but my phone gets stuck at "sending".

When I receive mms-es, I can't download them unless I restart my phone. I'm usually connected to wifi and I have data to be always on. My IMEI is clean and i haven't had any other problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Are the messages that wont send over 160 characters? If so, you need to flash a different modem. The only ones compatible with this ROM, are FB's PADDED modems. Try KG4, it's what I use, and it's great.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pakiyoungster:
two days ago i was on cm9 , yesterday i flashed aokp, to find the difference between battery performance.

i have noticed that aokp drains battery super fast :(

just gonna go back to vb :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] salmanj1:
No, the messages are just pictures i'm trying to send. (With no subject or text)

Edit; Just fyi, sms works perfectly. I just have a problem sending and receiving mms-es when i'm connected over wifi (while data is on in the background). On stock I could send and receive mms-es while connected to wifi (the little data icon would just come up and send the message in the background).

When I receive/send an mms while connected to the network (wifi off), i can send/receive the message perfectly. If i'm connected to wifi (data on) and I try to send/receive something, it doesn't work.

I've actually noticed my phone is running hot too, especially on calls. I did a factory reset just yesterday, pretty much all I have on the phone are gapps, some utilities, and social networking apps (FB, tumblr, instagram).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bitcloud30:
Any suggestion on what will i get on my SD card bcoz am planning to reformat my SD and i dont have any idea what to save except for my music files :) and another thing how will i get the save datas of my apps :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Titanium Backup. By the pro version if you can it's well worth it. Run the batch operation then "backup all user apps and data". If you don't buy the pro version you have to do each app one by one. It saves it to a file called TitaniumBackup on your SDcard. Make sure to copy that to a computer before you reformat.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kanzone:
That's really great ported to 4G.:highfive:

I have T959 and T959V and they are both running AOKP now. :good::good:

I tried AOKP for my T959V but isn't working wifi with hidden SSID (normal SSID is working well).

May I know how to solve it?

Thanks!!

================================

OOPS! It's suddenly working today!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hwchan:
Ok, I have a slightly serious problem. I'm running milestone 6-02, and was having no problems with it up until this morning. It was operating fine at 11AM PST, data connection all good. Over the course of the day, I noticed that my data and sms capability was absolutely fudged up, along with call quality dropping through the floor, and everything just blowing up in my face while I was at work. At first, it was just google voice acting up, not sending texts. Then it was the SMS app not being able to get out. Finally, tonight, I can barely get anything to show up on 3G or 4G, even with full blue bars. However, for some reason, I can still get data when I restrict it to 2G only.

Does this look like I need to one-click back to stock and start over? Or is it some other problem? I've already tried a factory reset, a reflash to 6-02, a restore to backup of 6-01, pulling the battery and sim for 10 minutes, and am considering trying to go back to a nandroid backup I made of Octane, although, on reflection... Actually, I'm not going to do that. That wouldn't work right.

But still, I have this problem with my data and sms not working. If I can't find a solution, I think I'll just give it back to Costco, get a new one, and do a fresh root/flash from the stock GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alarmmy:
I dont have any issue like that. At the first time I flashed AOKP, I got a soft brick,but it was my fault not to understand the method correctly. So, I went back to stock and flashed AOKP again without any problem. My advice is: it's your fault,not the rom. So, try to do it the way it's meant to do before complaining.:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Hobo takes the cake. I purposely stayed away from the forums for the last few days to see how everything would go.

Hobo I guess following all those steps and flashing one extra file can be pretty hard, so here's what I'm gonna do. I fixed flashing from bml/gb roms and I also threw in the new version of my AROMA installer into the next version of AOKP. I'm still testing it but it looks fine so far if random freeze-ups and reboots when attempting to flash are "fine".

When I'm gonna release this you ask? Good thing it's the Q&A. I'll do it when I feel like it. The cool kids on IRC will probably get a build tonight. Don't try to go lurk thinking you'll get something though. Eollie and myst are more than welcome to send me a message for the link once it's ready.

Oh yeah it'll have the latest version of twrp built in too ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hobox10:
I really don't understand where you all get the notion I didn't follow the steps correctly. For the umpteenth time, I did follow them perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
Well the notion would come from the fact that out of all the people that have flashed this rom nobody else is having those issues. I would also bet that if you looked at your IMEI that it is not correct. I have flashed this rom countless times and that issue does not happen to me. I can assure you 100% without a doubt that if you follow the steps ENTIRELY that you will not have any issues whatsoever.

One click back to stock and try again. It will work if you follow the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
As one of the not-so-cool kids, I'm excited for the newest release. I haven't updated since 40-06, because every time I update, I just go ahead and one-click to stock and reformat my SD, then flash the latest build. It may be a little overkill, but it makes me feel confident that I will have a problem-free flash, and my phone will perform as it should. Anyways, I hope you get around to letting us have it here sometime soon, FB. You're work is excellent! Thank you for supporting our device. I would so hook you up with a donation if I hadn't become unemployed a few days ago. Hopefully, I'll be starting a new job on the 23rd, and I'll be able to thank you properly shortly after. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I bet you also didn't check Settings > Developer options > Android debugging.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hobox10:
Yeah very funny. Of course I did. Look, despite all this garbage going on I'm still really grateful to both you for this rom and it's continued support and the people here for the help and showing me a couple new things.

Okay, but once again, I did. I understand I'm the only one with the issues, but that isn't definitive right away. I'm going to start it over again when I get the phone back. It's entirely possible it was just a bad flash, but the whole reason I posted here in the first place with the problem was because I thought if it was a common problem someone would just tell me either restart or how to fix it if it was known already. Instead they either immediately call me stupid and assume I didn't follow the instructions, or call me stupid and attack me for an easy mistake of thinking I have to flash the boot.img.

When you come from multiple phones that all required it, I just assumed that if it's offered it was required. Yeah, that might be wrong, but that's why you tell people it is wrong instead of insulting them for not being born with foolproof knowledge of flashing a rom. What you should have told me was "Oh, not all of them require it, and CM9 for the GS4G is one of them. Don't worry, you don't need to flash it and you can just move on to AOKP. However, the USB Debugging should still work for you." and instead I got was lip.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
If I were you I would just stop. Arguing with the dev other members and digging your self deeper and deeper.

I think I told you initially it wasnt needed. But you had to keep bringing it up and just wouldnt accept when I told you it wasnt needed. You tried to validate because of another phone flashing instructions. And keep trying. All you are doing is making it worse. /shrug

Oh yeah I did tell you it wasnt necessary right here in this very thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hobox10:
Post just after that all I asked was "are you sure?". A simple question, requiring a simple confirmation. You then proceeded to insult me by basically calling me stupid, no matter how pretty you dressed up your words, and you did it in a thread meant for questions. You called me stupid, and that is what started this entire thing. I never argued that I had to flash the rom, I was arguing that it was a simple mistake to make and that you shouldn't insult people for it.

And I'm not arguing with the dev anyway, or really anyone anymore. The argument ended and I really want to move past it. I'm just explaining why I thought I had to flash it, and I'm explaining that I did follow the instructions. Some of you seem to think I didn't follow them, but I did. That's clearing up a misunderstanding, and not an argument.

No signal

I may be overlooking something small and easy, but i'm simply not getting a signal with the rom.. flashed fine, wifi is connecting fine, no signal though. SIM is in, won't let me search for networks. Help please.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
I'm having bad connectivity too with KD1 and KJ6 modems. Worst reception ever. The phone is always between 3G and H which I believe drains a lot of battery because it hangs and spend time searching for the best connection. I have reflashed and always factory reset. Maybe I should GR it and start over? Thanks for your comments.

Don't think of this as a whine. I love this ROM and I'm grateful for all dev work even if I don't use it. Just concerned.

*I think my battery is f'ed up. Will buy a new one this week.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vopezy:
The padded modems didn't help at all for me either. Id just start fresh and leave the modem alone. Also, when I can I just turn on 2g only and when I need data just flick the wifi on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
This apparently isn't the phone searching for the best connection, but just the way that Cyanogenmod-based kernels and ROMs display what modulation the phone is using at the moment. Generally "3G" will be displayed when on an HDSPA-capable "channel" and not sending or receiving data, "H" when an actively using data. I would be very, very surprised if this causes any more drain than the same modem running under GB.

Remember that the phone modem is identical between these ICS ROMs and the GB ROMs. That is what manages how the phone's radio interacts with the carrier's infrastructure, with the kernel/ROM basically only being able to provide some high-level commands; "Turn off," "Only use GSM," and things like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bitcloud30:
I charge my phone today in full shut down mode and i notice that it didn't showed the % of the current battery it shows this ??/100

Am i the only one having this problem?:-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] geekilized:
I noticed that too. I think it is a known issue though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
I haven't asked a question in a while now, but now I have one that is probably more suited for the 'stupid questions' thread, lol.

There doesn't appear to be an easy way to change to font in the rom, so, I was wondering what is the name of the font(s) that this rom uses by default? I'll just rename the font I want to use, and copy it over the default with the same name. Sorry if it's a dumb question.

Edit: FB, I see that you don't take PM's. I wanted to ask you something outside the forum. Is there any other way to contact you? Feel free to enable PM to send me one as reply, then re-disable.

no gps and battery drain

Hi

The rom is awesome and smooth BUT it takes at least 5 min to lock the gps

I have tried the fasterfix trick

The angrygps but it didn t help

The battery issue is huge. My battery is a 2800 and it lasts than three hours

I have wipe the batt stats and i have used the battery calibration

Nothing special in betterstats

In order to install this rom, i have wipe data/ factory reset and wiped the system

If i have solved thise two, it will be th best ron in the world
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
GPS thing is a known issue. There are a few apps you can try for your internet service to find your location. As far as terrible battery, you should one click back to stock and start fresh. You did something wrong... or not quite right.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heniki:
back to stock

thanks

how many hours do your battery last?

how to get back to stock?

you mean to froyo?

correct me if i am wrong

after i need to root it

and to install cm7 and after aokp?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
How long my battery lasts doesn't really mean anything, because we probably use our phones entirely differently. If you want to get back to stock/rooted, use the Gremlin Remover found in the Dev section. If you want to get back to AOKP from there, I think you have to get to CM7, then AOKP. Or, I think you might be able to go straight to CM9, then AOKP. If you're having trouble flashing those, try getting SGS Kernel Flasher from the play store, after using GR, then use it to flash AntonX's 1.1.3 kernel, THEN flash the CM9, then AOKP.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tvotony:
It's a app in the play store

Just updated to build 3 and recovery doesn't work!

Any idea why?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
How are you trying to access the recovery? Give me every detail as to how you installed the rom, what rom you came from and what you've done since you installed the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xr1charxx:
i came from build 2.

2.installed build 3>custom>backed up date and then installed From

3.rebooted

4.tried to go back to recovery thru power button and goo manager to install Google apps/play store

And phone gets stuck team acid logo
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I'll have to look into that. That happened to me once while testing out this build and I thought it was a random occurrence. You're going to need to flash back to stock and try re-flashing the rom that way. I hope you had a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xr1charxx:
Damn, that sucks! Haha

How do I reflash stock without recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
It wouldnt matter if you had recovery you cant flash to stock unless you use odin or heimdall.

Follow this guide to flash bhundvens one click and then in the same thread you get the one click from download antonx's kernel one click and flash it. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Sorry, I'm going to bump a Q.

What are the names of the fonts the ROM uses by default? Is it just DroidSansAmerican.ttf? Does it use others, like Roboto in the UI?

Sorry if it's a stupid question.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xr1charxx:
Wow that's such a hassle.

Any easier way? Never had good experience with Odin and I'm jot comfortable using cmd
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
ICS uses Robot by default for most things. I haven't tried messing with it. I don't think it's like GB where one font was used everywhere in the UI but I might be wrong.

You got linked to a one-click file which is a GUI program, no need to mess with the command line.

EDIT

Follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2

EDIT 2

Duplicate link. After that initial setup though, you can double click the one click file to open it, no need to follow all the way through again. The first time IS a hassle, but after this you have a known-good solution to going back to a working phone. It's worth it, trust me.

Everytime I do it when I reboot I get the android is updating and under that starting applications.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
there should be an option somewhere to lock it in memory. It's either in apex settings, or the rom settings. I never use TB to convert. I just put it in the ROM before I flash it, and take Nova out. I would also take out the default Launcher if i knew how.

Flash AOKP

Don't use titanium to restore apps but only data
