With GO Contacts/SMS/Launcher having turned to the dark side, I'm taking it as a good reason to consider ICS.

This leaves me with "how to I transfer my data?"

TiBackup didn't seem to do a good job coming from GB (FB's Valhalla Black) and dropping the results into CM9 when I tried last weekend.

It seems as though ICS no longer supports "phone" contacts so I'll just have to accept that Google will have my complete phone directory.

I don't have a lot in my "phone" calendar, so that isn't an issue.

What about call logs, SMS, and perhaps MMS? Is there a way better than

Call Logs Backup & Restore

SMS Backup & Restore

(GO SMS "upgrade" now only backs up to their own cloud)

Will TiBackup bring over from GB to ICS either of the following:

* Bookmarks from default browser

* WiFi connections and their passwords

TIA, hoping to make this as smooth as possible...

Unfortunately, there's really no one-stop solution to this. The easiest way is to sync up what you can to Google, but for the rest you'll have to rely on third party applications.

I use google voice for all my texting needs and, as you would expect, it stores everything online for me.

Question regarding GPS...I know that it isn't working well but I would like to be sure that everyone else's experience is the same for now. Running GPS Test from the Play store, my phone sees 10-13 satellites almost immediately but that is all it does. All signal strengths are at 0 and stay there and no attempt is made by the phone to lock signal.

Sorry if this is old ground...I don't mind dealing with bugs, I just want to be sure that this behavior is normal on R3 and that I didn't screw something up along the way.

I hate to sound like a Jack ass and i read the op for cm9. I believe I'm on 0.2 and the op says of 0.3 we can download updates on goo. Does that mean i can update with goo now if I'm on 0.2 or when I'm on 0.3 i can upgrade to 0.4 with goo?

Rebooting issues

I've restored back to stock with one-click and now after doing the following I cant boot into android, it will only reboot into recovery mode. Does anyone have any suggestions? They are much appreciated!

*rebooting to recovery

*flashing efs backup

*rebooting to download mode

*flashing cm7 boot.img

*rebooting to recovery

*flashing efs restore

*flashing any ics rom

*flashing gapps

Thank You!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4xm4n:
All you need to do is get on any version of CWM 5 (it can even be BML) and flash cm7, cm9, or aokp. The efs backup and restore steps are no longer needed.

Try this:

One-Click back to stock

Flash a BML kernel with CWM 5 (bhudven's, FB's, AntonX's, etc.)

Flash CM7, CM9, or AOKP

I can't vouch for any other ICS ROMs as I don't develop for them and have no idea what their updater scripts do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farmerbb:
So, I just noticed this morning that when you try to change the minimum CPU frequency in the performance settings, when you choose the 100 MHz option, the CPU won't scale below 200 MHz. There's no way to actually get the phone to clock at 100 MHz through the performance settings page, it just stays at 200 MHz minimum.

I can change it to 100 MHz just fine using other apps and it seems to scale just fine, this bug only seems to appear through CM9's native performance settings page. Does anyone else see this behavior or could it just be that my phone is being weird?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4xm4n:
The kernel has some dvfs locks that keep the CPU at a certain prescribed minimum when doing certain things or using certain hardware. I think it's probable that it only hits 100 MHz during deep idle.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jcr74:
after a failed attempt to upgrade from 7-20120614-unofficial to CM9, i used twrp to restore back to cm7. everything onthe phone works ok, but when i try to get into the recovery mode again i get stuck at the team acid screen.

holding the volume buttons during boot-up also does not do anything.

thanks.

so my question is what do i need to do in order to get back into recovery mode so i can try the cm9 upgrade again or even 7.2
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ChadBFlores:
worked great thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Just before I bail, I did notice in my attempt to port to Aries that they moved the level.c from drivers/level to arch/arm/mach-s5pv210 and they have implemented dvfs and deep idle. I think they also kept kernel_debug_sec. Just fyi... that could be a part of the problems with sleep, power management, and reboot to download mode.

GPS problem

I have problems with my GPS. It says "Searching for GPS" and never locks a position. That "circle" in statusbar is just standing up, not blinking. I tried to reset A-GPS stats (cold reset) in GPS Status app, but it didn't worked.

I used 0.2 version, then switched to 0.3 and nothing. I don't know if that is ICS/ROM bug, or hardware malfunction. Have anyone some thoughts how to fix this? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4xm4n:
Sounds like something I will look into. I'm also looking into Ezekeel's Deep Idle version 2 from crespo. I still haven't gotten any confirmation from anyone on any of the aries devices that reboot to download works for them either.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ipaq_101:
This seems to be a problem with our internal GPS on our phone, it has never been good.

What I find is that when your turn your gps on and then off again, it seems to help, not a world of a difference but it does help, after about 5 minutes the GPS does eventually lock.

I hope there is a fix in the future, but I am not holding my breath, samsung just put a crappy gps in our phone.

Using stock apps

So I happened to grow accustomed to several of the stock apps that aren't present in this rom, namely the memo app, thinkfree office and one or two more. The problem, is I can't install them and use them anymore.

so far, I tried 2 methods to install them. One is to push the apps into /system/app and the other is to use titanium to restore the app and data. Neither have worked and the only reasons i can think of is that they are either incompatible with this rom or I'm doing it wrong. Though I don't think it's incompatible, seeing that the news and weather app is there, so I'm probably just doing it wrong.

Any idea how I can install them again? It's a minor issue but thanks for any help :fingers-crossed:

Other than this issue, this rom is amazing :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
You can't install those apps well at least memo.apk relies on touchwiz so yea.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
You can get similar apps from the market lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sublimespot:
As far as text messages I have an application that's not on the market that will back that up it's called friday and it's in development currently (I signed up to test it long ago) it's made by the company dextera and it backs up all of your pictures, text messages, and other things on their cloud.

I will post the .apk In the "themes apps section" hopefully tonight if I don't pass out.

There is only one problem of course, the cloud is down right now and can't make new accounts........ but they are working on it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mng9639:
ahh alright. that's a bummer. oh well lol

Yea I know, but I was hoping to use what was there. But since I can't, I now have to find new ones
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
For text messages I use SMS backup from the play store. Its drop dead simple, only has 4 buttons, backup, restore, delete backup and something else. It backs up to the SD card and it only takes up like 200 KB :-) and for contacts I simply exported them using the regular contacts app, just push menu and then export to SD and then on my new Rom do the same but import from SD instead. If that doesn't work GO! Contacts also backs up to SD card and works with 4.0.x Hope that helps

BLN?

Hi guys,

Anyone else having an issue with BLN? I'm using a licensed version of BLN Pro on RC0.3, and even though BLN is set to enabled, and I have my preferred blinking lights set up, BLN does not seem to be functioning at all....

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

I would also recommend gnotes as a great free alternative to memo. Works very similarly to Evernote, but syncs directly with your gmail account.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
The Samsung Memo app stores its data in

/data/data/com.sec.android.app.memo/Memo.db

/data/data/com.sec.android.app.memo/shared_prefs/*

Memo.db has a relatively simple schema and I am planning on "exporting" the data from that database and importing it into another app. The files in shared_prefs maintain the "next database memo ID" and some other information that, in my opinion, should have been in the database itself, but aren't. I mention it mainly since if you try to restore Memo and its data manually, you may need to deal with those files as well.

Edit -- If you don't install/update the files in shared_prefs/ you may see new memos not appearing to "save" and other problems.

There are quite a few options out there, ranging from with as few features as the Memo app has, to more sophisticated ones. I'm still evaluating them, looking for a few additional features that Memo doesn't have, such as revealing the created date and tagging (categories), as well as a "real" export/import function. One of the "requirements" for me is that it not back up or sync to somebody else's servers.

I am running Memo.apk on FB's Valhalla Black, which doesn't have the touchwiz home app installed. I don't know if there are other pieces that would be missing in CM9/AOKP.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4xm4n:
You.... I like the way you think.

I'm planning on making some modifications to some of the stock CM9 apps such as Apollo and submitting my changes. If a memo app is in high demand, perhaps I should look into developing one. Perhaps one that imports the data from Memo (or shares a compatible schema). Perhaps other people will like it. Perhaps I will submit it upstream along with my changes to Apollo, etc.

Could you PM me the SQLite schema (table creation statement(s), etc.)? At the very least, I can write a utility for people to extract the data from Memo. I have seen a handful of other users like yourself who seem to miss samsung's Memo app.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cyclops1055:
I had memo.apk running on both CM9 and AOKP.

All I did was copy memo.apk to the system/app folder, reboot and that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thegoo:
Mine works as it's supposed to. Mine is locked on but I'm thinking that the ROM(?) is not reflecting that it really is. So in my case I see the same thing as you however it functions completely normal.

If you haven't yet, make sure under Location Services>GPS Source that you're using the Internal GPS. I know I needed to check this each time I flash as it is not default.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cyclops1055:
I asked this question earlier in this thread but didn't get an answer, maybe it was missed, so asking again:

Is there a way to automatically accept bluetooth transfers from a trusted source? Say like from my laptop to my Samsung, it keeps asking me if I want to accept the transfer.

On Gingerbread, you were able to have it accept the transfer automatically from a specified source.

Thanks

Calling while having wifi turned on is not the same as wifi calling.

WiFi calling requires a separate network device and radio interface layer, which are toggled on and off by the wifi calling application.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
delete all profiles for previously paired devices in bluetooth settings. Same with source phone if u can. Pair it then they should b paired but not connected (i.e. in a transfer) the first u r receiving a transfer i should ask to always accept. I think u might be able to manually set that too in bt settings ? At least on otherroms
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
Pointless
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cyclops1055:
I just tried the steps you mentioned, I paired my phone with my laptop and I'm still getting the same thing, it just ask me if I want to accept the transfer, doesn't ask to always accept.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
Yeah i understand what you're saying but i have wifi set to stay on and not use data for call. So it's working for me without app or 4 3g. Unless i am extremely overlooking something
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4xm4n:
You don't have wifi-calling.

Wifi calling requires the T-Mobile wifi calling application. It requires libkineto, libganlite, librilswitch, and possibly other libraries that we are not including with any of the builds. It also requires the kineto_gan kernel module. Wifi calling routes the call through wifi, through a T-Mobile service.

There is no way that wifi calling would be working without you making a conscious effort to get it working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
I understand maybe i made a subconcious effort. I have wifi set to never switch to data, so i guess cm9 is just lying to me. Or maybe im not making an effort. I was just responding to bduv. Didnt need that

So you have the Wi-Fi calling app installed and enabled from T-Mobile on this release of CM9?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
look a page or 2 back. You shall see that it is "IMPOSSIBLE" to have wifi calling at this time, since team acid hasn't included the necesarry files yet. THey haven't even tried to put it in, so how will it be there? Wifi calling is a request, not a bug. They or I may try to port it in the near-far future, but it's impossible right now. So no, whatever anyone thinks they have, they don't have Wifi Calling. Again, calling while having wifi on is different than wifi calling.

Had some issues with some apps just refusing to be installed by the play store. It's the insufficient storage failed install message. I had it going with three apps pulled a logcat and it looked like Dalvik was trying to **** things up. Cleared Dalvik and Cache and tried the same three again. Still no dice. Back to recovery and fixed permissions to see if that was the bane of my existence. That allowed me to install apps that weren't requesting an update. Thought that had fixed everything, checked the update option and there was that damn message again. I was ready for it and dumped the logcat. Trimmed it down to the relevant part, at least where it calls to install to the point of failure. Still looks like a Dalvik issue, but figured if it had any useful information you'd like to see it.

I'm aware that the issue occurs on pretty much all ROMs, so this could just be pointless given I haven't seen a fix for it except for deleting the .odex file for Titanium Backup (when that was the app that wouldn't update)

Let me know if I can help

So long CyanogenMod9

Well after enjoying CyanogenMod9 for about a week, I am forced to go back to stock GB 2.3.4 as I was unable to solve the deep sleep issue I was having, my phone wasn't going into deep sleep so it was causing major drainage on my battery. My battery was lasting 5-6 hours max compared to 18-20 hours.

I tried all the tips and tricks that I found here by searching, but all attempts failed.

If anybody has any ideas, I would love to get my device back on CyanogenMod9.

Here is a breakdown of the steps I've done and where I noticed the deep sleep issue.

Phone model: Telus Samsung Galaxy Fascinate 4G (SGH-T959P)

1- Rooted phone using: SGH-T959P-Stock_plus_Voodoo_CWM_2.3.4v2.tar (CWM version 3.0.2.8)

2- Installed Valhalla Black Edition (needed because it has CWM version 5.0.2.7)

3- Installed CyanogenMod 9.0.0-rc1 UNOFFICIAL by TeamAcid[R0.3][Jul-01-2012]

4- Installed KH2 modem (gave me constant 4G(H) instead of 3G)

Now after realizing that my phone wasn't going into Deep Sleep state, I searched xda-developers for Deep Sleep issues, when nothing worked, I started the whole flashing ROMs procedures all over again and discovered that the no Deep Sleep issue happens when I install Valhalla Black of Valhalla Final.

Now one question that I would have is how can I get CWM version 5.0.2.7 on my phone so that I can install CyanogenMod 9 without having to install Valhalla.

I do have this file: SGH-T959P-Stock_plus_Voodoo_CWM_2.3.4v2.tar

If someone could modify it, and add CWM version 5.0.27 I could try and see if I still have the Deep Sleep issue.

P.S. I know these ROMs are for the SGH-T959v and not SGH-T959p but they work with a few minor issues.

Thanks
