[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KrisM22:
Huge thanks for that explaination!

As many times as I read that Dev OP before I flashed this rom, I saw format /system, but did not see it in CWM 6, so figured it must be included in wipe data/factory reset. DUH. found it down in "mounts and storage"

Yes on the battery calibration. I will ignore it. I've wasted too much time in the past reading threads about doing that. Thanks. Besides I never seem to have battery problems...

I probably should delete asec on the sd card when I'm changing kerns or major roms, just to be safe. Apparently data, too.

Thanks! (button pressed)

How about the permissions fix - before or after flashing the cm9 rom? I only ask because this came up a bunch in the last 10-30 pages of this thread, but never gave an order that I saw.

"The above only applies to kernels/ROMs of the current era. " Yes I do get that - this is so different from something like the TP2 where it was all handled in the rom.

EDIT: this has been fixed in Dev OP post 3. Thanks Bryan!

Can the Aries kernel be brought to other roms via TWRP? I mean can't you backup the kernel,so would it work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
The kernel is not fully functional yet.

Aside from that our current roms are herring builds not Aries. So the kernel would not function properly on our current builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] idevice12345:
So is Aries almost done?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
nope
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] idevice12345:
Wow
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Hey listen kid I understand you're 13 and everything but please, stop being a ****. You are being so disrespectful to bhundven and the rest of the developers working on aries. How would you feel if you were working on a kernel just because you want to and annoying little kids kept bothering you?

The developers are working on it and you're here complaining. If you have nothing useful to say then please do everyone a favor and GTFO.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] idevice12345:
Dude. Chill out. I was just saying wow because I never knew it was such a large project. I was just asking to see how large the project was. You don't have to call people harsh names. You could've kindly told me. Not by calling me bad names. Dang. You seem like a nice a person.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
I didn't mean to offend you, if I did I'm sorry but please remember to show the developers respect. Remember that they don't have to do any of this for us. They are the ones doing us a service. We would be in gingerbread if it weren't for these people. They deserve our respect, asking stuff like "is it done yet" can make developers feel like crap.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] idevice12345:
Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
Aries is huge. It's a tremendous leap forward for our phone. We all want it, but it doesn't motivate developers when they are nagged. I understand your question was probably just a genuine inquiry. Just keep in mind for the future that yes, it isn't always easy waiting on a new release but patiently waiting works out better. The developers don't get frustrated by questions and you don't get flamed.

Sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] idevice12345:

It should work. Go ahead and give it a try, but make a backup before you flash it just in case something goes wrong

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] idevice12345:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I'm not a fan of lighting zip, so if you flash it, and you have a problem, I will tell you to factroy reset your phone and reinstall cm9.

I also will not support your cm9+lighting in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I've had best experiences on clean flashes pure without other tweaks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Make a nandroid before flashing. If something happens you can always one-click to stock. Then flash cm9 and restore your nandroid.

I flashed from CWM 6.0.1.0, and everything seems to be working fine. I realize this isn't a question, but I figured people may end up asking.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Asking what exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Asking if it works when flashed from CWM 6.0.1.0 I guess
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Flashing from any version of cm9 works. 6.0.1.0 had a problem with nandroid, but that was all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
Oh sorry, by flashing "from CM9," I thought you meant from your ROM specifically, not including any of the other flavors of CM9. And yeah, what I meant was if people ask if flashing from 6.0.1.0 is fine, since it wasn't stated in your thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Considering that any 6.0.x.x CWR comes from CM9, you can flash the latest CM9 from any previous CM9. ;)

I just don't want to spread mis-information about specific CWR version having problems, unless there is a real known issue.

If there is, I would very much like to know! If not, the statement continues:

You can flash the latest CM9 (9.1.0) from any previous CM9

My question is if i flash the hefe kernel over this update do i lose anything that was updated...

I remember reading this: "We also ported over aries sd/mmc host and core drivers. This should help with mmc issues and sleep issues wrt to wifi." Does this have to do with the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Hefe Kernel v0.8.1 should be fully rebased onto the TeamAcid android_kernel_galaxys4gmtd ics git branch. That includes MMC/GPIO changes from July 28th and August 5th. However, Bryan may aware of something I've missed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Not really. I was actually thinking the same myself. :D

The question becomes:

How do I spend my time? Do I rebase your changes on top of the teamacid kernel? Do I push forward with Aries to eventually get TK-Glitch and other Aries based kernel ports? Or delegate? (last one is my favorite :D)

So, if you want to, go for it!

I would suggest 'cherry-pick'ing each change over 'rebase'. Rebasing might be more painful.

If you can do that, and test it, and do a pull request. I would be happy to review it and possibly (most likely) merge the pull request!

NM, the merge was super easy...

Anyone found a way to get the GPS working yet? I see in the working section it says GPS. I flashed R7 yesterday and I left my GPS open for about 20 minutes and it finally locked on. I closed telenav and reopened and it didn't lock on at all. Would love to run this ROM but I use the GPS all the time and can't be without it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
GPS works fine. Sometimes it'll take a minute to lock on. You can try those GPS apps in the market. GPS status and GPS fix to see if it locks on at all. Best if tried outside or while moving. Make sure the internal GPS has been selected in the location settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Well damn, English is a funny language some days. My intent was to say that I believed that Hefe kernel was up-to-date with the TeamAcid branches ("should already have been" rebased), not that Bryan needed to do other work ("should be in the future" rebased).

In any event, I'm grateful to Bryan for doing the work and being understanding of a set of git check-ins that were representative of a developer's personal branch rather than the nice, condensed mainline that is generally released.

Heh, well, look at it this way. We've been wanting to add OC/UV and other performance improvements to the teamacid kernel for a while, but have been more concerned with other issues.

This was a convenient way to add that, as well, I have added you as a commiter/collaborator on TeamAcid's github.

Don't forget to do settings / save before you exit that APN.

The APN defines what WAP settings used to define in older phones - your carrier's access points for your data and txt services.

FWIW, I went from the colorful unicorn ;) directly to this, not from stock. Was that a gaffe?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
As far as I've seen it shouldn't be. But if you've had issues and factory/data reset and all the other normal recovery fixes haven't worked then I would recommend a heimdall one click back to stock and start over. Out of curiosity did you attempt restoring from titanium Backup or a similar app?

Obvious where the ROM update occurred.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
I thought you wanted logs on a fresh install so it wasn't cluttered with other crap from different apps i would imagine.

Yeah, I didn't search that one but it was the first time I had ever seen it on any rom. That's why i thought it was maybe a new problem with R8.

I couldn't find an app called shell. Here is the SU log.. How do I get the log from the last reboot. I thought you couldn't use aLogCat for that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
I found an app called GetLogs_v1.1 I'm gonna use it next time. I'm sorry. Gonna try and pull the dmesg if that's what I need to do...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Logs taken by apps go back only like a minute, getting a log by adb gets you the full log once you start, because it keeps recording until you close it. If you use a logcat app then make sure everything is closed and then run it, to ensure it has a fresh logcat. For the shell issue, shell is not an app. That is referring to an app trying to get shell root permissions but is being denied, which is from super SU. Get a log as soon as that happens so the problem with root can be identified. If your phone hard reboots then grab the last dkmsg, Google how to get it because no one here is going to explain that for you. Then any issue you are having can be fixed without just saying that your phone is messed up and annoying the devs

EDIT: Idk if logging apps capture reboots, I highly doubt it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
I'm sorry. The next time I report a problem I will be sure to replicate if possible with a log. I'm not trying to bug the devs just attempting to help but the log thing is a little difficult to grasp so far. I don't want to waste your time by sending you a crap log lol.

I will do some reading on the dmesg part... I'm trying, I guess I just need reassurance I'm on the right track to getting it. Thank you again.

EDT:

su

dmesg >/mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt

logcat -d -v time >/mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt

That made things easy lol. :)

Thanks Guys!!!

It is probably not the kernel, but the user-land processes. You'll likely need logcat to help.

What's faster? This or provision?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
As Smokey the Bear says, "Only you can prevent forest fires." Whether or not that applies here is up to you.

But in all seriousness use both for a couple days (after you have the phone set up the way you want) and determine which one works best for what you want to do. Every one doesn't have the same favorite flavor, that's why there's so many to choose from.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
Come on guy. Try them for yourself. You will never know until you try it! CM9 is pretty fast.

@ jeffsf Thank you for the advice about it being a user-land process and not kernel. I now know the differences between the two. I ran out of thanks for the day for the new Roms. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] idevice12345:
I did try them. No offense but I felt like provision offered a smoother user experience but doesn't have as good battery life as cm9. I was just wondering what you guys thought
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
What people are trying to tell you is what you said in your first sentence. Honestly it doesnt matter what we think we arent using your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I want the logs from when the phone exhibits the erroneous behavior.

The best shell is from adb. Download the android sdk and follow the install instructions to install the platform tools. Then most of what I tell you to do will make sense.

The su log doesn't tell me anything useful.

Search Google for 'debugging android'.

Don't forget to scrub logs of passwords and imei... That you send to anyone. Use proper spelling and grammar to explain the problem and you will get a proper and quick(er) response. ;)

Just some tips :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Stay Puft:

Yes. Host mode is enabled on the Aries kernel.

Hi everyone I'm new here just have a question regarding my phone SD card not being read by computer in plugin in the USB cable. All I know that it did when it was in stock 2.3.6 rom.I know that I could just put my SD card in a SD reader but I'm just asking if this is normal of happening when flashing this rom the cyanogenmod 9.1.0 unofficial..on a side note the cable I'm using is not the OEM cable the came with. any help would be appreciate

cream-sandwich
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
You have to select usb as mass storage in CM9 to be able to read the SD card from the computer. At least I'm assuming that's what you're trying to do. I thought that was what you needed to do in stock ROMS as well, but I was on stock for all of half a day so who knows.

If you pull down the status bar and select the usb option you should be given the option to change to mass storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tlopez1973:
well thanks for your reply but when I plug in my phone to the computer it no longer give me an option to select USB mas storage or USB debugging..but in clockwork it does when I select mount mass storage it does pick it up (so after moving the cable around it pick up the sd card so i think it a problem with the cable its not OEM)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KiNG OMaR:
So I've been reading through the thread, is there any real solution to the deep sleep issue? That, and the phone not dropping below 200 mhz!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
If you are referring to the Aries build sleep of death issue, then no, not right now. You just have to wait until a release comes out, since that was a test/teaser build.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
It is a top priority on the aries build right now.

Its been discussed and decided dropping below 200 on the ics builds actually creates more issues then it extends your battery. Jeffsf and bhundven have both posted about it. Once the phone hits 200 if it goes lower it wants to enter deep sleep and then the phone will try to ramp up to check email or scroll up. That then is causing it to freak out and ends up using more battery than just keeping at 200mhz.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Just to be clear on the 100 MHz vs. 200 MHz issue, it is still on my list to look at. I was focused on the Aries WiFi driver boot-time issues for the last week or so. There are a couple things going on. The first is that some hardware drivers won't let the CPU drop below a certain speed. For example, the phone generally won't drop below 200 MHz if USB is plugged in. Probably a good idea considering that USB 2 can transfer 480 Mb/s.

The speeds that the CPU can adjust to are set real-time using a "policy" that defines, among other things, the minimum and maximum speed allowed. I've been unwinding the spaghetti to find out what is setting the minimum and not using the "front door" to do so.

What does the bouncing minimum mean to you? Probably not much. If your phone is on and not under significant load, then the display is going to be the biggest consumer of power. If your phone is off, then it should be heading pretty quickly to "deep sleep" and not idling at 100 MHz.

Does it bug me that I haven't found a reason that the low-end limit bounces? Yes. Do I lose sleep over it? No, and apparently neither does my phone...

(To forestall the next question, "No, I haven't looked at Aries yet on this, nor have I worked on OC/UV for it yet.")
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
When Aries arrives will this fix random reboots? Or something? Cause I get them on every other ROM now, not just Galaxy Beam. It seems to be centered around Google Chrome, every issue goes around Google Chrome and whenever I tried to log it, LogCat only shows a limited amount of logs so I can't really scroll up more. Is there another way to log?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
ADB. The best way by far.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1241935
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Probably not, since the kernel seems very stable for most people. I suspect a app is misbehaving and $ adb logcat may reveal your culprit.

Posted from my AOKP-ified SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say its Chrome since the reboots only happen in the occasion I browse on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
That wouldn't surprise me as I believe it has "native" code (C code, not Java) for its rendering and perhaps more.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sunsurfer42:
Maybe not, I have had the most soft reboots while using instagram. Chrome works fine on my end.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Did either of you restore data to these apps after flashing?

The other day I was having reboot after reboot. I flashed back to stock then flashed cm9. I only restored data to apps that save app locally. Things like chrome, instagram, facebook, and any other app that restores data once you login I did not restore any data.

I would clear data for each of the apps that appear to create bootloops then uninstall them. Reboot the phone and reinstall, sign in and do not restore data to them.
