I believe the comment was that your post was pretty "random" (a reference to your moniker) and didn't provide anywhere near enough information to be able to even start addressing "why" you were having problems. It might have been that your posts, in general, seem pretty random. Without details of what ROM you up/cross-graded from and what logcat reveals, everything that could be said is little more than a guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] randomandroid:
Sorry!

Sorry!

ICS Slim, Titanium Pro Batch Backup, I restored most apps and data. The apps that are stopping are mainly "Exchange", other system apps and the main apps that came with the installation like the browser and email. The apps i restored from backup are not having a problem.

Thanks very much!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Sounds like corrupted system data. If wiping the data for those apps and restoring from your backup doesn't work, I'd wipe those app's data and re-create the accounts.

Now that's noob friendly guide.:cool:

edit 2:

That is certainly a fantastic noob proof guide.

2 questions:

My phone came with Froyo. I updated it to gingerbread via kies. Now the question is, this ROM is ICS or gingerbread or something else?

2nd question, I have gingerbread on my phone, would I be able to put CyanogenMod9 on my phone?

Plz answer :cool:

Thnx

You have to read. All the info is there on the wiki. I refuse to hold anyones hand on installing anything. Especially since we have answered this question a million times, then documented it on the wiki. I also documented it on the OP of my dev thread.

"This ROM is something else dude!"

"Yes"

Now, before you totally pooch your phone, take some time to read and understand the context and practice. Flashing a phone is not a right of ownership, nor is a trivial thing if you don't understand what you are doing and why.

What rule number was I up to?

Rule #4, If you have more than three digits in your moniker...

OK now I've redone all the steps to install CM9. Everything is working great now, except, there's no google play.

With titanium, don't restore app data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
What's the sense of restoring an app without the data? I can go to the market and redownload an app, it's the saved game data I want to restore or my progress or all my customization in an app, etc. I could care less about the app, it's the data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I think he should have been more clear. Or he restored data across everything and had to reset was told not to restore data to system apps and was confused. With my first phone I was told never restore data just restore the apps and that I could restore data and it was confusing.

Sorry, was xdaing and driving. Restoring data its great, but, when you restore across gb to cm9 (esp system data), things sometimes don't always mesh up. Hence, the fc.

Here are TWO things I would really like to see in my CM9 ROM. Please let me know how I can add them:

The splash screen and boot animation replaced by verbose boot.

An audio compressor for the phone volume. (I was told this would make loud sounds softer and soft sounds louder, for the sake of not being annoyed by very loud talkers and for the sake of being able to hear quiet talkers).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Splash screen would be changed via compiling your own rom. Boot animation is easy to change there are several guides about the net.

The audio compressor I have no clue. But that sounds like something I want.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] randomandroid:
Thanks but all of the guides i've read to change the boot animation are not applicable to most Samsung Phones. I was unable to find out whether the SGS4G was one of the phones that didn't work though.

Would something like THIS work alright for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G?

EDIT: it works
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
@randomandroid

Why are you making this process complicated? Plus I rarely give out root permissions.

Here are instructions and a TUK boot animation, once you understand how to do it then go change your boot animation or make your own.

TUK Boot Animation:

Download: http://db.tt/iYNdYV9t

MD5: 7ae01ee842c375d32d6d3f7e719d2dfc

Instruction:

Get a file explorer capable of R/W of the /system partition

Place your bootanimation.zip in /system/media

Reboot and see your new TUK boot animation!

Make a backup just in case you do something wrong.

Is this ROM compatible with the SGH-T959

W

from WIND Mobile in Canada?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Yes it is, all ROM's will work on the "W" version. The only difference is the initial steps to get your device rooted and to get recovery modem enabled. I have put together a package for it here for the "W" users.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1956025

That package will only root your phone and give you recovery to get to another ROM. Wifi doesn't work, there is no modem in the package, etc. It's a stepping stone. Read the step through, it works if you follow the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WarToilet:
Cool, thanks!

I have a couple more questions, in this thread, under "Working" bhundven says:

"Sound (minus incoming call ringtones, see Not Working)"

but in the Not Working section it doesn't mention anything about ringtones. :S

Is this still not working? Is it fixed..?

Also, in your T959W package thread, if I install the package, and decide to stay on GB for a bit with one of the Kernals and Modems that you linked to installed, do I have to install the whole package again before upgrading to ICS?

Also, Is the modem in the ICS package compatible with T959W?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
No you wont have to reinstall the package. Only time you will is if you move from ICS back to GB. Almost all ICS roms come with a modem. Getochkn has the stock modem posted here for people to use. In his signature is a link to it. I suggest using it. I also think its linked in his guide.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WarToilet:
Thanks.

Yeah, I saw the link. There's one that has CM9 in it's name, wasn't sure if I HAD TO use it or not. But if it's stock and recommended, I will! :)

I installed the package with one of the kernals and modems, it's all good. Holding off on installing ICS until after Halloween. God forbid something goes wrong and I'm without a phone tmrw night.

Anyone willing to explain the incoming call ringtone thing?

That's what I'm most concerned about. I don't want to install ICS and then not be able to hear my phone ringing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Its been fixed. Bhundven sucks st updating the first post. It is a pretty stable rom

I saw a thread that said gremlin remover leaves the phone in 2.3.4 or something similar. will it still work on the latest release, or will it revert some of the software somehow? if that's a dumb question, i'm sorry. i work overnights and i'm really tired. thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
If it is the "gremlin remover" I am thinking of, it basically wipes every generally flashable bit of the phone. It is expected that you would flash this or the ROM of your choice afterwards.

Android 4.2 camera working on ROM, quite nice

http://www.talkandroid.com/138801-a...idForums+(Android+News,+Rumours,+and+Updates)

Edit - photosphere isn't completely working. Guessing cause of missing sensors
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] WarToilet:
Taking pictures, videos, and panorama work great. Photosphere doesn't work properly.

Also, in the gallery, which also gets updated, you can't edit and/or crop pictures. It causes the App to crash.

"Unfortunately, the process com.android.gallery3d has stopped." When you click Edit, and "Unfortunateley, Gallery has stopped." when you click crop.

You also get the "Unfortunately, the process com.android.gallery3d has stopped." message when you click the 3 circle icon thingy located on the bottom left corner when viewing a picture.

EDIT: Also, I randomly got a "Can't connect to camera" message whenever I tried launching the Camera app. Not sure why/how this happened, but restarting the phone fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
It probably just needs to be decompiled and modified with the right sensor names and info, then recompiled. I'm sure someone will take it up ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mrxjhsnx:
I hope so, 4.2 camera is pretty nice
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
The detailed replication steps are great. If you capture a logcat and post a link to it, you're more likely to get a solution. You might consider posting it on the thread in the Apps section as it likely impacts most ROMs.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
You can flash either or both. It's all your preference.

But I'm with jeffsf on this. There have been so many fixes its almost time to accept that the gps in this phone is iffy at best. Perhaps the fixes are just snake oil and we're seeing confirmation bias or that they're doing something significant to the phone.

I for one enjoy my rosy view that these fixes have done something worth while

Great ROM, but have problem with 2 things

First of all, THANKS to the devs for an awesome rom. I really appreciate the effort of getting ics onto this phone. I just have 2 small problems, one, is there a way that the soft key backlights go off after a few seconds? I see that in advanced under system settings there is a place for backlight control of soft keys but it is blacked out. It's sometimes a bother if your using the phone for a while. Also, I can't seem to get vibrate to work on android apps such as life reminder, is there a way to enable vibrate on this rom? Other than that, great job!

touch tones don't work

On automated answering services, such as those for utilities ("press 1 for yes or 2 for no" type deals), my touch tones are going through as multiple presses when I enter my phone number as required before they can access my account. for example, i press "260" and it gets "26000".

This renders my phone nearly useless for any automated system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't seem to connect to my computer via Bluetooth. My pc see's my phone and says its connected, but errors on installing the Bluetooth drivers. In the device manager its showing up under "Other devices" not Network adapters like prior to upgrade.

I used Release 8 and im on Windows 7 Home Premium.

It's not the greatest Idea to be on tmo contacts backup. It's a big app with alot of tmo monitoring stuff, plus they have access to your contacts, and I have never been able to properly delete a contact, it just reappears after an hour.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Not terribly odd, as tethering requires a few things, such as

IP routing rules to indicate what needs to be aliased and what doesn't

DHCP for the tethered device

IP aliasing

Ability to send/receive packets to/from the tethered device

Over WiFi

Over USB

There are a lot of both kernel-level things there involved, as well as other Linux-world apps. Miss one and the whole chain won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dardack:
Not trying to be a pain. I think the Q&A is place for this. If not my apologies. I've also searched a ton to no avail. (Besides a vague reference in CM9 dev thread about Aeries and no bugs and wifi calling working. No bugs comment tells me they are being sarcastic).

My wife has a MyTouch 4g with TMobile. The CM9 Mod there has WiFi calling built in with CM9. There is also a zip file to install WiFI calling app separate that works with many of the other ICS mods for that phone.

Is there anyway this feature could come to this phone with ICS? I'm still running a modified stock rom for this phone because of this feature is a must for us in the valley we live in (for any cell service, main reason we went with TMo was because of WiFi Calling). Thanks for any info.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Eventually, maybe. For now, they're still working on getting an actual ICS kernel that works. The current kernel is still a ported GB, so it doesn't do certain things as well...

I believe a useful link, whenever new kernel modules can actually be evaluated, would be the Galaxy Note II (I think?) ICS Wifi calling module found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1979130.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dardack:
Yeah that is the JB module.

Now I know Sammy/Tmo released an official ICS for the Blaze 4g, but I have no idea the difference between the 2 phones if the kernel from one would work with slight mod for the other. (Blaze is SGH-T769, non Blaze is SGH-t959V).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mepis:
I apologize if this has been asked but I could not find an answer searching. Are there any other reliable DPI settings I can run this rom at? I have one app in particular that doesn't frame properly on this phone. It did on my Vivid. I'm assuming it's because of screen resolution. The app is still usable but is a minor annoyance. It's not a particular issue with the rom itself. I think if I could shrink the screen a bit it would allow it to fit.

Edit: I decided to backup everything and just start playing around to see what happened. A DPI of 220 seems to be pretty damn perfect for me. Nothing is to small and everything fits perfectly. I haven't had any issues with apps or the market. In fact, some issues I was having have been fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I used to run my phone at 200 dpi, instead of the default 240. Granted, this cm9 rom doesn't have any of the hybrid/tablet mode stuff that you'll see in jb. So you should be able to change down to 160 if you want.

When I change my DPI, I usually reboot to recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik... and pretty much everytime I'm in recovery I run fix permissions, then reboot to new dpi setting. I'm sure someone will tell me that you need to do something special with the market app, but I've never needed to. :shurg:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I'm no longer on t-mobile, so my attention to wifi calling is zero.

I have no way to test it or anything.

And yes, my attention is on the aries ics kernel port. And soon after that aries jb port. So, hopefully one of the other devs with t-mobile can look into wifi calling at that time.

The aries kernel has the kineto-gan (tmo wifi calling) driver. And supposedly it has been ported to the jb branch as well. So, we'll have to wait and see.
