Revision 9.1 Issues

I've had R8 of this ROM for quite some time now and I finally decided to flash R9.1, but after I flashed the rom, it is now severely unstable. I flashed Erik's Proton ICS Kernel so that I could play video, but still R9.1 is shutting down at random times for no reason. This never happened back in R8, could this be a kernel issue? I clean flashed this rom so it can't be any flashing issues. So I am now confused... Is there any reason to why? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AnAznBoy9724:
I love this ROM, but why is it I cannot watch any videos on my phone, including YouTube?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Because it hates you. And you aren't reading the thread you're posting in.

Flash a different kernel. Known issue, reported ALL over the place.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AnAznBoy9724:
This is a lot pgs., I went through some of the pages but I didn't find any, but thank you. Can I choose any kernel though?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Read about 12 posts back. Same question. Same answer. Link to kernel even.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AnAznBoy9724:
Alright. I flashed Proton's Kernel for ICS and it works like a charm.

What modem are you using? When I was on cm9 I used LB6 with no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
My wife kept every text she ever got. So many that it stopped pictures. Once I deleted all of them and cleared cache, it started working again.

I'm using LB6 and well it might be the MMS.apk that's giving me the issues. What MMS.apk are you guys using cause as it is I'm using the inverted ICS GApps

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
In the dev thread, Bhundven recently posted that he's continuing work on this ROM in the hopes that any breakthroughs might lead to a fully functioning JB. Not that anybody needs my blessing or anything but I think this is great news. I've been on CM9 for quite a while now...tried other ICS ROMs and always come back to this one. Everything works fine except the usual bugs and somehow I have never gotten my custom ringtones to work...no big deal. I've never tried any JB ROM because I need a working GPS. At any rate, a huge "thanks" to the developers who continue to support this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Please try to describe "the usual bugs" and problems with custom ringtones.

Describe what you are trying to do and what happens along the way, so one of us can try to reproduce the issue.

Even better is getting a log, but if we can reproduce it, it's really not hard to get logs.

Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
By the "usual bugs", I'm referring to the 4-5 that are mentioned on the first page of the dev thread...wi-fi calling, boot to download mode, etc. Personally, none of these bother me at all. Wi-fi works fine and I would certainly like to see a functioning wi-fi moving to JB.

The custom ringtone issue: I have a few .ogg ringtones I made from .mp3 files (wife, children, grandchildren, etc.). They are stored in the Ringtones folder on the SD card. But all incoming calls revert to the default ringtone. I have tried moving them to the system/media/audio/ringtones folder with no luck. I've wiped cache, fixed permissions, & all that. It's not the end of the world...incoming calls still show who's calling.

As far as submitting logs, unfortunately, I'm way too inexperienced to know how to do any of this...wish I knew more.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
1) Wifi calling will never work. The Vibrant guys tried, and never got it going.

2) reboot to download mode, right. I remember that one. Had to go look at the issue tracker.

Interesting. I'll take a look at this later today.

Assuming you're on windows, here is a tutorial.

All you really need to remember is that you will want to go through the log and make sure you remove references to your IMEI, or other username's and password's from the log before posting it anywhere!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Regarding custom ringtones, I've been using a custom mp3 ringtone for the last year or two. Not sure if ogg are not supported or anything specific, but... as soon as the media browser service notices and adds my mp3s to the list, they work fine. They're on my sdcard, nothing special.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
Well, I tried converting one of my ogg files to mp3 and assigned it to my landline. Called my cell from my landline and the ringtone was just the default. If I assign a custom ogg file as the default, it works so I know that CM9 supports ogg files...and besides, all the standard CM9 ringtones (system/media/audio/ringtones) are all in ogg format. The custom ringtones worked in Froyo & GB...both in mp3 and ogg formats. But like I said before, life will go on without my custom ringtones.

As far as learning how to submit logs...I'm reading the tutorial...will have to wait 'til tomorrow....NASCAR race today.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Oh wait, I just checked... they're not even mp3s, they're m4as. :D It's the Portal sounds that got included in one of the earlier CM builds... maybe CM7? :D Anyways, I've kept them on my sdcard ever since, in media/audio/ringtones and media/audio/notifications. After media browser kicks off, they just show up and work. Until then, they don't show up in the list.

I've never had (in any of my various ROMs, whether GB, ICS, or any of the JB flavours, Aries or Herring) the selected ringtone NOT work though.

For curiosity... any chance you might have an app that's hijacking it? A 'custom ringtone by user' app or setting or something that's setting it to a different default for not-specifically-set contacts and making it look like this is a ROM bug? Because I've had my same Portal ringtone for the past year or so, including on CM9, and one or the other notification sound (depending on what my wife has, so that they aren't TOO similar) for the same period of time without any problems...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
An app that's hijacking it...hmmm...very possible....here's what I tried:

1. Converted a couple ringtones to m4a format...didn't work

2. Uninstalled and then re-installed my dialer app (Ex-Dialer)...didn't work

3. Installed another dialer app (forget what it was called)...didn't work

4. I noticed you had a media/audio/ringtones folder...I didn't. Mine were just in a folder called "ringtones". Made media/audio/ringtones folder and moved all the ringtones into that one...and it worked!...once. The second call reverted back to the default ringtone...so it's very possible that something might be hijacking the ringtones. I'll submit a log as soon as I learn how to do it.

I literally created an account to thank you bhundven - this rom has been my daily driver for over a year and I *really* appreciate the fact that you're updating it! I just updated to your new build and it is so nice to have weather on the lockscreen working again!

The main issue I have right now is video playback - this has not worked with the stock kernel since build 20130225 I believe, and it continues to malfunction. My workaround on the previous build was to install the Hefe Kernel v0.8.1 - this is probably what I will do on this build unless you advise against it. I took a logcat of error entries during (attempted) video playback; please see below.

pastebin dot com slash 0JJCpi15

Again, thank you very much for continuing to work on this rom, and if I can be of any assistance to you please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kidquantum66:
I'm confused about my current version. My phone ROM is "cm-9-20130127-UNOFFICIAL" which doesn't appear in the version list. Closest to that is "cm-9-20130227-UNOFFICIAL" which corresponds to ver 9.1. Am I on version 9 or 9.1?

Assuming I'm on 9.1 what's new in this update? Just CM File Manager? Sorry, the changelog links aren't working for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Idk what your sayin. Screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kidquantum66:
Too late. I went ahead and upgraded to the latest version to stop worrying where that old ROM came from.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Damn, I had forgotten that I used to build with the somewhat less flashy boot screen.

Anyways, is gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip still the right version to flash for the current 9.1 build -- cm-9-20131025-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd.zip?

It seems to work, but is there an update needed?

Giving it a shot now -- I'll try the built-in GPS as well.

I've been using an external QStarz Bluetooth GPS unit as I'm pretty convinced the internal GPS implementation just sucks, likely not the fault of the code or anything. The Bluetooth GPS isn't the end-all-be-all either, as at least older CM9 builds seem to fail to shut down the GPS provider when it is not in use, causing unneeded battery drain.

"Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped."

Trying to restore Google Play services 3.1.36 (669520-34) using TiB -- did not resolve the issue. Still no Google Play

Remove Phonesky.app and com.google.android.gms.apk, wipe dalvik, boot (no Play at all, as expected)

Restored Google Play Store 4.4.21 using TiB and it worked fine (without restoring Google Play services).

Conclusion -- gapps may be a little outdated -- you may be better just restoring things from your backups.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Personally, I had to clear data on the Google Play store, which fixed its FCs. According to Goo.im, GApps for ICS stopped at 2012-04-29.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Personally, I was testing with factory wipe. So idk what was up with play store. But the last version for ICS is right. I noticed that after a little bit of letting the phone warm up on first boot, play store would update. But send me more info about the GPS issues. I'd really like to get them resolved [MENTION=3770444]jeffsf[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Seems like a solid ROM from here, with the standard caveats. One day you might want to change the lead post to indicate that auto-brightness works ;)

The CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2 can feel like it is "freezing" at the end of a backup after "Freeing space" or something like that. I think it is computing the md5 at that point, so just sit tight. It seemed like it took a minute or two. It can also "hesitate" when you are trying to clear the dalvik cache, but that is a lot shorter time.

The onboard GPS is what it has always been for me (back as far as I can remember, perhaps even Froyo), too slow to lock up to be useful. The compass is not "magically fixed" in this build (hasn't worked in any ICS build that I have seen).

I'll look into the GPS provider problem once I know what it is that is "sticking" on after I turn off location services and/or Bluetooth.

I'm dealing with the limit of ~60 MB free space in /data -- It was tight before, and now it's crazy tight, even after removing several apps. After three years with this phone, it's hard to give up on a lot of them! Unfortunately, the reality of moving an app to SD is that it only moves the APK and any libraries; you still end up with the app's classes in /data/dalvik-cache, as well as the app's data storage in /data as well. It's hardly "free" to add an app that is installed on SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Gm0n3y:
Is build number 8 as solid as the latest build but with video recording/play back? I'm flashing roms for a friend so everything about this phone is very new to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I've not seen any issues with video in builds from late last year or the current build. Either should be fine as a daily driver.

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I know y'all are hog-wild for JellyBean and who knows what else, but this ROM has been such a solid performer over the last year and then some, it is hard to leave it. Maybe one of you can convince me (by PM please)

For those working with an external, Bluetooth GPS, it is GpsLocationProvider (Android System) that I am seeing "sticking" on, even after GPS and Bluetooth are turned off. I'm working through getting my build tree back in shape for TWRP builds and will be looking into it in more detail once I do.

I hope to have a boot/recovery image that I can distribute with a patched initramfs that makes it easy to get a partition mounted at /sd-ext/ so that TitaniumBackup can be use to move app data to the microSD as well. I've gone from having to uninstall and reinstall Flash every time I wanted to update anything, to over 150 MB free on internal storage. I think that is more than it had when fresh with original bloat/firmware only.

A few more things to work through on the build chain and TWRP, as the way flashing was done changed dramatically since CM9/ICS came out. I've got the changes reverted to restore retouch_binaries() and the ability for format() to take either 4 or 5 arguments. Chasing down something about modelid_cfg.sh now. Once I've got those resolved, I hope to get TWRP to use the current fstab-based approached for partiton mounting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
The GPS-related symptom that the phone won't properly sleep after using Bluetooth GPS seems to be only present when the third-party GPS Status app is running. I think it's a great app, but I think it "holds on to" the location service as a listener and may not be releasing it when external, Bluetooth GPS is disabled.

After poking around with moving app data to external storage and getting back to ~100 MB of free, internal storage, I'm going back to getting TWRP to the point where I feel comfortable releasing it out in the wild. It works for me, but still have to ignore an error where compiling cm_galaxys4gmtg-eng sets a variable NAM_VARIANT that sets a flag modelidcfg that has the installer looking for a device-specific install file modelid_cfg.sh that isn't present. It's at the end of the installer script, so the ROM has installed already, but it's ugly.

I'm looking forward to trying out Bryan's updates -- I'm still using this phone as my only phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Nice! Things have been busy. I did manage to start working on ktap port to android. I still need to get the kernel module to compile. Hopefully with android-4.4.3 or 4.4.4, an updated external/elfutils will drop (0.153) and that will allow dynamic symbol lookup in ktap.

After I can get ktap working on my n5, I'm going to port ktap and elfutils back to jb (maybe ics) for aries/herring.

I'll get some guides posted and some gists for different traces that will possibly help us find answers to both kernel's issues.

I'll try to get some of my herring updates for jb up soon. I should probably start a cm-herring-jb thread...

So I recently rooted and started using CyanogenMod, and it seems like when I go to contacts I cant see the contacts that are on my sim card... And I know its not the phone because I tried unrooting and checking and it seemed to be fine, then I root and go back to CyanogenMod and I cant see sim contacts... Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
As I recall, ICS really, really tries to force you to use Google contacts. There isn't any such thing as "local" phone contacts in ICS as soon as you log into Google.

I use my own CalDAV and CardDAV server with CalDAV-Sync and CardDAV-Sync as I don't want Google to have every bit of what happens on my phone and life in their vaults, but that won't help your SIM-contact problem.

I'd export from Contacts in a GB ROM and import into Contacts in an ICS ROM.

Personally, I haven't understood why you would want to store SIM card contacts once phones had any sort of sync-to-computer feature.

CyanoGenMod 9.1 on Galaxy S 4G - Camcoder not working...

I am very much new to android and I just flashed CyanoGenMod 9 (Release 9.1 - updated test) on Samsung Galaxy S 4G. And since that I am facing issue creating and playing videos i.e.

1. Camcoder doesn't work, it never starts recording and on retry it throws "Unfortunately, Camera stop working" and closes the camera

2. Not able to play existing video files (preloader keeps rolling)

I flashed an older release of cyanogenmod 9 (Release 8), which did the magic for me. and Videos are now playing...

Another observation is - Now the phone always on 3G data (or some H data, I dont know what this H is)... but it never comes as 4G data...

But my phone supports 4G and I am haing 4G data plan on it.

Any fixes ?

CM9 (aries) has a lot of problems. A few developers in the developer forum have done great jobs porting other roms to our phone with a fairly broken kernel. People ask this question a lot.

I highly recommend reading this thread. Please learn how to search (specifically, the "Galaxy S 4G") the forum. You will find more then your answer's worth of information if you look for the right words.

Searching is easy, asking for help is easy. Reading takes time, and we've all taken the time to go read. It's just a harder learning curve for those users that don't take the time to read threads.
