you won't be able to restore data from gb to cm7, not system data nor app data, so you need to reflash gb and start again

Here's my kit to do that quickly and easily, unzip and read.txt

SetupConnection...

Hi!

I downloaded your kit. I am having the same trouble as ranejitendra.

I followed the Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide. But when it was time to reboot after installing CM9 i just went into a bootloop. When I tried to restore my backup it says it is successfully restored but when it reboots it just stops at the Samsung logo screen.

When I use the kit I firstly let it be in the logo screen and Odin recognizes it becuase the ID:COM turns yellow and says 0:[COM10]

Secondly I tried to start it in recovery mode. Same result. In downloadmode it is not recognized.

when I hit start this comes:

<ID:0/010> Added!!

Nothing happens after SetupConnection!

Any tips for me? I do not care about data or settings on the phone.

2 days ago I did this exact thing on S2 and it worked! I kept the files seperated as well...

Just reboot Phone after pulling out battery, restart Odin and try again
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnis:
Tried that a number of times with the same result. It just stays in Samsung bootscreen (without triangle) and Odin says <ID:0/010> SetupConnection..

And nothing happens...

Thanks for the tip though.

UPDATE: Read this post and got the phone working:

This thread picks up where "[MOD] [SYSTEMUI] Enable Wifi Toggle / Reconfigure and theme toggles [ICS Blue!]" leaves off. See post #174

Alright guys so here's the deal. The *proper* way to remove the location icon, battery full notification, and/or clock is through a smali edit. Smali files are contained in dex files and jar files. Our stock rom is an odexed rom meaning that the dex file is specifically optimized for our device; its also signed. So in order to change anything, the steps are:

1) Pull core.jar, ext.jar, framework.jar, android.policy.jar, services.jar, services.odex

2) Disassemble the services.odex file

3) Decompile smali files and compare decompiled source to smali code to find correct values

4) Make edits to smali

5) Recompile smali files

6) Repackage odex file

7) Pull signatures from original odex file

8) Use them to resign new odex file

9) Push back to phones

10) Repeat for each version of the statusbar mod

As you can see this takes a very long time and is rather tedious. Work is pretty significantly reduced by using a deodexed rom.

I would like feedback from people regarding whether beans-only support is suitable or if this project should be elevated to a full rom. I have a feeling that even if I do just these couple of edits there will be more that require deodexing the services.

More detailed POLL options

1) Continue work with Beans support only (immediate)

2) Elevate project to full ROM status and introduce a new rom to the scene (requires time and preferably a team)

3) Just do the battery full mod and the location mod and forget any other status bar icon mods. (including removing battery/clock)

4) Leave the statusbar icons alone until a source-built rom is made available

5) (forgot to include) "Hack" solutions such as removing the png files

Franco kernel, it takes very much longer battery life.

There are also programs like Jucie Defender, ...

Often there is a program that takes a lot of power, just look under "Battery" ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
Stock kernel is fine. I get 4½ hours display time with auto sync with auto brightness on rooted stock 4.1.1. I got the same using various kernel/ROM combos on ICS. So no, there's nothing wrong with stock kernel.

Did I mention that's in a 20 hour day with stock battery!? And there's already like 20 of these threads.

5) GPS changes/bugs

I've also noticed some GPS changes / bugs that I'm not liking.

The GB GPS sucked, now this one seems worse:

Driving tonight, I had to reboot my phone to stop my eternal wait for "searching for GPS" in the car. No different than I've occasionally had to do with the GB rom.

However, then when I made a couple wrong turns or deviations from the route, it got stuck on "recalculating". Eternally.

I know I was in an area with good data, because I exited the Navigation app, relaunched it and picked the last destination and it calculated the new route instantly. It didn't successfully recalculate once... three times I had to restart the navigation app.

Also - the old navigation app used to tell you "...in a quarter mile, exit on..." and "...in 100 feet, turn onto..."

This new navigation app does no such thing. It just says "turn right on _____ street". Which is useless if there's no street sign (hence several of my "recalculating" incidents).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
Bump - anyone experiencing these bugs? I haven't seen them reported - any of them.

Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdhilzdsp:
I have had HORRIBLE battery life since the upgrade. It is worse than half of what I was getting prior to ICS

My GPS is working like a bauce though, finds my locations within seconds.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I feel accomplished if I've stumped all of XDA... :silly:

I did discover a workaround for the copy/paste/select issue - long pressing in ICS opens a menu at the top of the screen for that.

However, still stumped on

1) 6-7 hour battery life reduction

3) signal issues

4) Quirkiness/freezing/sputtering responses

5) GPS issues - both signal and new app

Anyone else but me experiencing any others besides #1?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
geoleomon - I would suggest grabbing XDA's version of Better Battery Stats, and monitoring your battery life that way rather then using the Android version.

But yes, I have experienced some of the battery issues, just no where near to that extent (maybe 4 -6 hours less).

Another piece of the puzzle:

I was using the camera, and it crashed - an error I didn't capture but something like "media server crashed - camera must restart". Happened twice before the camera actually started OK. Perhaps significantly, I had the phone docked when I fired up the camera - desk dock.

Also, noticing that listening to music in my desk dock at work, several times now the song has just stopped playing a few seconds in, and the media player closes. I restart the music player, and everything is OK. Sometimes that happens 2 or 3 times before the player works again, and then sometimes it'll happen an hour or so later even after it does start working again.

Could this be related?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riggs170:
try this then report back I have none of these issues you speak of but I am generally in a good signal area. Your signal looks awful, defiantly will cause battery drain.

I used the "nodata" version of that kernel to install CWM after rooting.

This will wipe my phone, which I'm looking to avoid doing if possible, if that's not the "nodata" version I already have.

Can you clarify on what you are advising?

Interesting though - a coworker suggested possibly if I wipe my phone it might clean things up.

I have just cleared my Dalvik cache, however I believe I did this before. I'm doing this now noting that as per my prior post, I'm seeing a few things force close, or else stop suddenly (like music player) without closing.

Also using CWM to "fix permissions" (not quite sure what this means).

We'll see what my results are after this.

I'd like to get this stock ROM working well if at all possible - if for no other reason than the Exchange peak/off peak email sync settings that don't seem to exist in other ICS ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I wish a mod would sticky a battery life complaint thread and close all others. Every other thread is an ics battery life complaint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
using nodata is you're problem, all of the issues you've described could be caused by using nodata, this is why it is advised in almost every roms dev thread to do a full wipe, not no data... you may be able to get away with it without any serious bugs upgrading the same rom one revision but not going from gb to ics. you need to do a full wipe and fresh flash, legacy gb app framework is causing these issues, not ics

SERIOUSLY! i dont get why people come to xda to whine about the OTA, XDA is the place you come not to run stock... And half the threads that arnt about battery life/"bugs" where the poster provides only basic anecdotal "evidence" and no technical data whatsoever on FF18 are gripes about sprint and sprint related issues... have people never heard of the sprintusers forum, THATS where those complaints belong, not here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
Thanks for this part - however...

The very advantage of going the OTA (or at least stock - I didn't OTA it) stock route is to not clear the phone.

Samsung/Sprint spent how many months developing this, to provide an update that's supposed to be clean for existing, non-technical, non-rooted, mom & pop users. I wanted to go this route simply as the "cleanest" option. And I've got lots set up on my phone and very little time around now - I'd prefer not to lose it if I can avoid it. As much as you try to back up, and remember, and all that, every time you wipe you forget something...

It's a little bit like being a Jeep owner, and saying "you know, everyone could get away with driving a Jeep".

Sure... they could... but they wouldn't all enjoy it, and it really wouldn't fit everyone's use case.

Usually, advise like this really just reflects a lack of vision: "I can't imagine anyone who uses their phone different than ME".

Does this look like whining, or seeking a solution? Hey, look - the original post!

Again - seems more and more like you are a child, not only lacking maturity, but injecting your own prejudices rather than reading.

I'm seeking solutions.

And XDA is the place for options. Solutions are a subset of options.

Grow up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
I wasn't referencing you as whining at all, however this thread belongs in the Official OTA thread, not on its own, that's what the commenter prior to me and I were both refrencing- the constant new threads about the same 3 or 4 issues with the OTA when there is already a thread for it... that said you said you're seeking solutions, I offered you one that will work, I'm sorry that it displeases you, but doing a full wipe and a clean install will solve pretty much every issue you have, so backup your apps, and text messages if you want those as well, it takes less than 5 minutes in titanium backup and SMS backup, and do a clean flash or Odin (if flashing make sure you are on a safe kernel). That will fix your problems, its silly to keep asking for solutions when the best and most likely to be successful one has already been proffered.... or should you still for some reason not want to do this just unroot and take it to a sprint store, they'll do a factory reset, that'll fix all of the issues you're having. Save the time and effort and just do it yourself, no one is going to post any magic advice that'll make it all OK with nothing unchanged
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I'll try it... just want to make that the last resort.

Wouldn't you consider it to be equivalent to just wiping/factory reset via CWM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
yup wiping in cwm will do it, again be sure you're on a safe recovery eg. agats or chris41's... things like the force closes of music player and the malfunctioning of swipe, camera, etc, are due to coming from gb without a full wipe... i do realize its a PITA if you wanted to keep it simple, but it is what it is you know... insofar as battery I've never had a problem running ff18 based roms such as blu kuban or goodness, I've never run bone stock myself but if you continue to have issues there are tweaks, such as kobridges and phakers scrips that'll help out a lot, in addition to disabling unnecessary syncs, etc... however after giving it a few days to settle I've not had any problem getting a full day of moderate use out of ff18 based roms...

just to add a little more, fixing permissions will help a little with force closes... if you are unfamiliar with the UNIX permission system you can find some good info here ( http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml ), however it would still probably be best to to a wipe as it most likely won't fix all the bugaboo's you have from keeping your gb /data partition... despite what the horrid touchwiz interface would have you believe ICS is a huge step forward from GB, and that old app data can and will cause problems... lastly sorry if i came off a bit gruff, as I'm sure you've picked up I'm somewhat tired of seeing threads about the OTA, however to your credit you did post tons of concise, detailed info and were open to suggestions, I've seen similar thread where the OP just posts something akin to "ICS data sux, wtfff????" and when recognized devs tell them what they need to do they start to argue, which makes no sense to me... I was most likely taking my frustration at those threads and their apposition to the purpose of XDA out on you, for that I apologize, good luck with it and should you need further help let me know, I'd be glad to assist or at least point you in the direction of information that may help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
This thread seems to have gone off the rails a bit... All the answers you seek are in development op. It requires reading though... There are roms and explanations for every problem you listed. If you say no they're not... Then you have not taken the time to read... Simple as that... I am a developer here and no one taught me anything. I READ AND LEARNED IT. i have a family and a life and the whole bag... So there are no exscuses. I challenge you to take the time to read and learn and give back. Maybe YOU can find the answera to your questions and post the answers here so you can help someone else who will post this and that doesnt work (but does, they just didnt read and learn how to fix it). Because as soon as you post it someone else will have the same complaints and questions and will be to lazy to search...

Go launcher was my favorite on GB but it is extremely laggy on ICS. That's why you are getting that long delay with screen response. I recommend a launcher like Nova or Apex that is built for ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I am open to custom ROMs. I was on AOKP milestone 6 prior to this...

I went back to the stock ICS because i use this for work, we use exchange, and the stock ROM is the only one I've seen so far with the Exchange peak/off peak sync schedules - see attached pics for the sync schedule options in stock Touchwiz. Let me know if you know a custom ROM that preserves this.

I also thought going with a stock ROM would offer the most reliability, best battery life, etc.

I've searched. No info on that sync schedule functionality mentioned in custom ROMs I've seen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
If its that important couldn't you just pull the stock email apk and reinstall it on any ff18 based build????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I haven't ever done that, that would be new territory for me.

Is it as simple as pulling the stock email apk using Astro, and side-loading it later?

Maybe the larger concern: I don't know if that's where this exists, at any rate... This is accessed by going to Settings --> Accounts and Sync --> [select my exchange account] --> Account Settings --> [select my exchange account].

Thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
Well, this weekend i did a full wipe of everything but my battery stats (which i did wipe prior to this update), but results aren't looking good so far. Looks like 'no change', with "Android OS" using over 50% of the reported drain. Also, wifi should be off with screen off based on my configuration, note it looks like it was on for quite a while, then starts doing what it should.

I've basically not used my phone this morning, and I'm already down to 89%, after just a few hours from unplugging:

Thoughts on where to go from here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xb0n3z:
I tried that.. Pulled the stock email.apk and actually wouldn't work with the Blu Kuban rom.. I too wanted the custom sync settings for the exchange..

However, there is also an exchange.apk that might go hand in hand with the email apk... I havent tried it yet, as I'm waiting for the next release of blu kuban and just set my email to 30 minutes in the mean time.

But to answer the question, switching the email.apk alone will not work getting your custom exchange settings back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
You know you have to give it a few days after a flash to get accurate battery readings, right? Also recalibrating via cwm, etc is advised... you can't flash something then the next day complain that the battery sucks, it doesn't work like that...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
Mm

Hence one reason i didn't reset my battery stats. It's been several days.

My post is showing the results of the reset that i explicitly stated excluded a battery stats wipe, as I'd done that at upgrade time.

Also, again note what I'm pointing out - (also reference my original post) - Android OS is consuming approximately 50% of all battery draw on this, regardless of usage. On the GB stock ROM, this was nominal... usually more like 5%. Also confirmed this on a GSIII (for an ICS reference on "stock normal") - with stock sammy TouchWiz ICS, it's around 4%, 5%.

"...give it a few days" isn't going to change that. ;)

This is an issue, or possibly a symptom. Looking to troubleshoot - trolling doesn't help :p
