Confirmed -- As far as what is "out in the wild" for my kernel changes. Team Acid has all the changes in Hefe Kernel v0.8.1, as well as the auto-brightness changes (which aren't in Hefe kernel v0.8.1).

Here's some information on the auto-brightness changes.

Edit -- I just fired up this ROM and it does have the latest levels for auto-brightness. Let me know if you find they aren't working for you, and if so, especially important is the conditions where they aren't working ("driving home in the evening when the sky bright, but the phone in the car in the shade"), as well as the current light level (on the "Light sensor levels" page).

The levels in that kernel work for me very well without "filtering" of any sort. I occasionally want the "full brightness" option to handle situations that the light sensor can't know about (face of phone is in the shade, but there is a bright background, for example), so I have a button on CM9, or use the free and seemingly very reliable Brightness Level app/widget on AOKP that I can tp to get full brightness or return to "auto" when I want.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tichs:
just asking is wired tether fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
If it wasn't in the changelog it hasn't been touched. You can test it for us though
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tichs:
It's not working for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
I can't believe it is not butter! This latest rom is probably the most smoothest and stable. It has tons of features plus a very good battery life. I've been using this latest iteration since about 30 hours without any problems. The battery life used to be drained to a quarter at the end of the day but now I still have 50% left.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I'm curious, are you running with auto-brightness now?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
Nope. I had auto bright off. But I think it would better if I had auto bright on cuz currently my phone is running brighter.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Anyone notice that toggling auto brightness off and back on turns off the softkeys? They come back on when pressed and stay on. I hadn't noticed this before the auto brightness fix but then I never used it before now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
This may well be "Post Of The Month" for many. Why? The dev working on auto-brightness noticed that the soft key lights turned off sometimes and recalled that people were having problems with soft key lights in general. He tried setting the soft-key back-light values to 0 in the hopes they would stay off, but they didn't. He put it aside thinking he'd come back to it to figure out when and why it was occurring.

A report like this is very helpful as it clearly states "how to replicate" an issue.

It might provide some clues as to how to resolve the soft-key issue as it should help to narrow down a call that sucessfully turns off the back lighting. I think I'll have to let that dev know so he'll pick it up again ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eridapo:
Just install the ROM and had no troubles...

I will test out GPS and Wifi for now....

I don't know about many of the features under the AOKP settings, but I guess in never hurts to try them out so I'll play around with them. If someone knows of a link to explain some of the options, please let me know.

Thanks to Devs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] IAIRonI:
I couldn't get em to turn off. Tried toggling through the pull down and through settings. hmm

GPS locks pretty fast in my side and Wifi i only had an authentication error once and after a reboot it solved the problem....this rom is really great.....:victory:

Hi FB

First build of AOKP did not support Hebrew language.

This build does.

I don't know when it was added, but I will test it and if everything works for me, I will end HebAOKP ROM development, might just add a flashable Israel locality kit to complete this one.

Thanks.

You cant judge how a roms battery is by one charge. If you reboot the phone for any reason during setup your battery will drop. Setting a phone up from a fresh flash can drain the battery faster than playing games all day long.

Use the phone for a few days get use to the settings, get use to the rom in general and add/remove whatever apps you dont need anymore. Get back into a normal use pattern and let the shiny wear off before making rash judgments.

Does anybody know how i can make my apps install to my sd card by default? Because all my apps install to the device, and i keep having to move them manually to the sd card
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Get Super Manager 3.0 from market. It's free. On the second page, choose "Install Location" Note that some apps NEED to be installed internally to function properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KotsChopShop:
when I try to apply the Achromatic theme, it kicks out an error; "this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size"

so how do we obtain/apply different themes? ..I DL'd a CM9/AOKP (DarkIce) theme from Play but it's not available in the theme chooser

edit-

also, when I goto 'manage apps' there's a shytload of apps in the list, but when I open the app drawer, there's only a handful showing O.o

aaaand when I click on the search bar, nothing happens :/ ..or is that a google device (I haven't installed gapps zip yet)

aaaaaaaand when I click on Downloads, should it not take me to my downloads folder? ..it reads "No downloads" when I still have all kinds of apks in my DL folder

Only 3g

Well, not only 3G...but it bounces back and forth from 3g to 4G constantly...I am in a strong 4g area and up until i flashed AOKP i didn't have a problem. I flashed multiple modems to no avail. Any suggestions? Is this maybe just a glitchy icon kinda thing?

EDIT... Its not bouncing between 3 and 4g.. its bouncing between edge and 3g... i'm not getting 4g at all....

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fingolfin14:
Hello.

Has anyone else had problems restoring apps through TB Pro? It worked just fine in CM9 (so I'm thinking it's probably not an issue with the conversion from GB to ICS), but in AOKP it repeatedly fails. My first assumption as usual is that I'm missing something.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Try a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fingolfin14:
Thanks for the quick reply. The factory reset didn't do the trick, but I did some digging and seem to have found a [strange] fix. I guess I'll throw it out there in case anyone else has the same issue.

In TB Pro if you select Menu>Preferences>App Processing Mode>Interactive and then restore missing apps and data, it will run through the batch but ask you to install each app individually. It defeats the purpose of the batch operation, but for some reason seems to successfully restore the app data as well.

In my case, some specific apps are force closing after the restore, but I think that's a separate issue. It seems to work for most of them.

Thanks again for the help.

EDIT: Turns out most--if not all--of the force closes can also be solved by moving those specific apps to the SD card. I believe that might be where they were located before the backup, so that may correct the location of the data and how it's read.

How do I get to the swagger option...I really need some.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Lol is in the status bar toggles if you need some more swagger
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
For the theme you can just apply anyways. It's just that it might be missing something, most likely the lockscreen icons, because that's what it usually is. For the apps manager issue, which is not really an issue, what most of the apps are is under the hood stuff, not actual apps that you run and use. As for the google search bar, ive never experienced that issue, but you can use the search key on the phone. And for the downloads app, it will only show downloaded stuff that you've downloaded with your current rom, it doesnt read your memory cards download folder. For that you just need a file manager and then head to the folder on your memory card where your apks are located. Hope that helps bud :-)

EDIT: and for the missing theme try and force close the theme Chooser and reopen it. If that doesn't work then it probably isn't compatible with your rom

Is there a work around for it or fix or something? Please let me know.. thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
How many apps? Do you have an app or a tweak that is clearing Davlik cache or de-odexing every boot?

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I can tell you its probably your launcher. Or you restored something that was converted to a system app in a "dirty" manner. Therefore each boot your phone is wiping the caches for some reaons. I would flash back to stock via the one click in my signature then flash to aokp and restore just apps then slowly restore data to certain apps. Dont restore the launcher if you are using a thrid party one until you completely restore everything else and see there isnt a problem. Once you do fresh install the launcher and then restore the data after a reboot to make sure the launcher itself isnt fouled up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Warrenforfree:
at happens after i flash gapps..

@eollie

i restored apps and data from previous backup of my aokp build 4.

and i use nova as my default launcher..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I use apex launcher and it will do this to me all the time. Do as I suggested clean install without a data restore. Use something like Titanium Backup or MyBackup to restore your apps and user app data.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Warrenforfree:
Ok thanks for that buddy i'll do it when i got home or the next time when there's a new build coz i got a good battery life already with my setup sense i can deal

with it as it doesn't do anything bad at all.. you deserve a thank for that you got one from me. hehehehe

and i aslo use Titanium Backup..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:

At this point in the development cycle of ICS roms, you'll want to always install the updated kernel since it'll have the latest updates. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lento10:
GM,

I am running the stock GB rom with CWM. Where could I find a GB kernel with TWRP? I would like to make a backup with the same recovery as the AOKP rom.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
If you're wanting it done just so you can flash back if you don't like AOKP, it won't work. You can't restore GB from ICS. Just saying
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lento10:
OK, thanks.

On my other phones, I was able to create a backup and always be able restore my backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
You want to use something like TiBackup and a way to save your contacts, call logs, and SMS/MMS any time you change OS versions. The old system data is generally incompatible with the new and if you restore GB system data onto a ICS ROM, you'll find lots of gremlins. In TiBackup, data (only) from the bright green things may be safe to restore from GB to ICS, the red ones, pretty much no.

Tor can't go from ICS to GB or vice versa with a backup as the disk format is different between the two.

There is a way to restore CW recovery backups using TWRP and vice versa, but it is pretty easy to flash a kernel with "the other one" should you ever need it and then flash back, all in one recovery session

Damn! I wanna know how you guys get such good battery life! I can't seem to get more than 12hrs and I upgraded to the 1800 battery too. I don't think it's the apps because I don't see them running. Maybe it's because I live in NYC? Any opinions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ReelFiles:
I have a 2300ma battery, auto brightness, screen timeout to 30 secs and wifi always off when I leave the house, other than that I leave data and GPS on all the time. I am at 50% after 14 hours of light to moderate use.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
If the pictures are sent with any text at all they convert to a multimedia format. They really arent videos, they are converted to a slideshow.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] IAIRonI:
I'm having similar battery life and I 1-clicked prior to installing
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
try and get gremlin remover and follow the threads instruction

once in a while while I flashed some roms, I would try to remove all the gremlins in my phone

then flash back to aokp to see if you have the similar problem.

there are other cases of battery life failure such as leakage in battery

my friend who's in I9000 has battery leakage/malfunction and said his battery charged full last him 3 hour
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] IAIRonI:
Yeah like I said earlier, I used Gremlin Remover prior to installing the ROM. My battery seems fine, still flat with no warping
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
I rebooted my phone because a text kept failing to send and my battery went kaput. Any ideas?

Also GPS doesn't lock in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
my friend just told me something hilarious. (not T959V related, but funny on your end) he accidentally dropped his phone 2 stories high and the screen didn't crack and maybe messed up his phone battery hardware, but what he daily uses had no problem, but battery leakage and leaks very fast. so he needs a new phone now because in 3 hours, battery can go from 100% - 0% :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
OK so I've had this happen a couple of times but I have no way of logging it whenever it happens. It's like a black screen of death but sometimes the screen does turn on and I see the lockscreen but am unable to unlock the phone. As if the touchscreen is not responding. Then after it times out I can't get it to turn back on at all but I'm still able to take screenshots with the volume down+power and the shots are of the lockscreen but the screen does not come on anymore. The only way out seems to be a battery pull. Pretty sure it usually happens around the time I plug it in to charge or just unplugged it. Wish I could be more helpful with this issue. I wonder if it's just me?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
so far yes this is a first time i see someone saying they have SOD in SGS4G and with AOKP
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Maybe it's my settings..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Nope it is a issue. I have been trying to get logs for FB but when it happens Im busy picking my nose or farting and never think about it.

Twitcheye next time it happens dont pull the battery hold the power button in it will reset and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Just to inform. I used AOKP with Google Now app on Airplane Mode for about a week, seriously, and battery lasted like 5 hours tops. Only used Wifi for Twitter, Talk and Email, maybe some Bad Piggies but not too much.

So how's the battery life compared to cm9 or galaxy beam? I've had both and with a few tweaks here and there, they can get me through one day.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
The canned response is my battery life will be different from yours. That is so true to, jeffsf gets more out of his battery than I do and I probably use the phone less than he does.

You can get a decent feel of battery life after about four days. I say just back up important stuff and try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lento10:
I flashed AOKP a couple of days ago, and I noticed that my signal keeps switching from hspa+ to 3g it can't maintain the connection H+.

I tried both modems kd4 and kj6 both same issue.

When I was on GB it kept the data on H+ with no problems.

I am new to GS4G, just recently moved from sprint to tmo.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a setting to keep the connection on H+?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
No it will idle on 3g and only use 4G/H when necessary.

You can caress it but that would make you a phone creeper. :D

Are you sure you get 4G in your area? maybe before it was showing 4G and really it was 3G. IIRC on stock I never seen 3G just edge and 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
I'm currently on AOKP, ver5 and recently started having some reboot and long loading issues (phone just seemed sluggish). I followed the update directions but did not delete cache or permissions. Would this have anything to do with my problems?

If I should delete the cache and fix permissions, what do I lose? I have Titanium Backup but would rather not reinstall the whole system again if it's a simple fix.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
With all the usual caveats about backups, clearing cache, Davlik cache, and resetting permissions is generally "safe" as all that data should be able to be replaced, as needed.

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KurlyK:
Okay so I wiped Dalvik, cache and fixed permissions . Still having issues with the phone resetting. Any other suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
If it is resetting regularly, it is probably some app that is causing problems. On GB, I had terrible problems with the mapping-related Google software, and occasionally the Google-supplied browser. I haven't had the same kinds of problems with CM9/AOKP.

Given that I flash version after version of CM9 and AOKP over the same /data and SD card and haven't seen any random reboots and that most users of CM9/AOKP aren't reporting them, I don't think that it is a ROM problem. It's been several months and probably over 100 different ROM flashes (/system and kernel/recovery) since I "cleaned out" /data or my microSD in any meaningful way.

It sounds to me like either "corrupt" application data or bad application code.

To help you narrow it down, without reinstalling everything, Addons Detector can look for "Developer Tools" which often suggest non-Java code running. It is easier for "native" code to crash the phone than it is for Java code to do so. I'd start there if you don't want to re-flash and reinstall things.
