Usually I don't post, just read. These ROMs have all been great. I think a lot of people jump around from rom to rom without completely clearing the phone and/or without reading past 2-3 pages. In a world of instant information / instant gratification, we are now conditioned for it.

I have noticed if you check the 2 boxes in System Settings / Performance / Memory Management, it completely eliminates any slight lag you may be experiencing.

Scott, you are awesome and I appreciate the time and especially the patience you seem to exude over and over again.

Have a great day/night depending on where you live. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theandrewmillett:
Sounds great! I was holding out on 8/31 until 9/26 came out, and it was a major improvement! You're doing some great work, Scott, et al.

Btw- Any updates from CM on the dock audio?

Sorry people, but I'm through... won't be looking/helping/nudging anymore.

Not looking for a pity party, nothing like that, nor am I "jumping ship". I'm getting tired of looking at the same crap over and over and am taking my leave.

Mods, feel free to pull this when you see it. If one person reads it, I've made my point.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dlbjmb35:
I understand about looking at the same old thing..but doesn't at least one person have to post problems or at least what they think is a problem? If it isn't a problem people are posting, can't a mod just move it out of the 'testing' area? You have to have testers or you can't have a clean build in the end. I'm a programmer by trade and testing is what has to happen and if I can't handle constructive criticism then I am wasting my time. Any other comments should be moved to the 'other' area.

Just my 2 cents..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] RoryB:
I think the point is there is a Q&A thread for initial feedback and questions. Once enough people comment on the same issue it proves it is a true issue and not user error. There has been a number of times where only one or two have the issue and everyone else has not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dlbjmb35:
I think the real issue here is to do with the people that aren't looking for a solution before saying it's a problem. You still have human intervention when applying these builds and not everyone is using the same methods to apply them.

Here is what I would suggest....

1. Create a section where you only state your problem along with how you applied the build. Clean, wipe, flash, eyc. Nothing more nothing less. definitely no comments. The moderator states the template to be used when posting. If it isn't followed, move the post to a 'junk' folder letting the person fix it and re post it.

2. Once deemed a true issue - move it to a folder pertaining to the issue. If it's GPS, move it to GPS. In each of these problem folders pin a solution if there is one or state the progress and who is working on it. This way people stop posting crap when they already know what is going on with it.

3. Deal with criticism, it is what testing is all about. If no one tested anything it would be no fun! Enjoy and appreciate the fact that someone is spending their time making us happy!!! :good:

Again....just my feelings on the matter.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jimlmackjr:
This is the way I wipe my phone

1. three finger boot into recovery.

2. Do a full system/data factory reset and for good measure wipe cache as well

3. flash the CM10 JB zip package

4. The package will start to install.. phone will reboot into the install screen again.. continue to install.. and reboot again and be at the recovery screen... This is when you can process and flash GAPPs

6. Reboot and enjoy some JB goodness!

and if i have any issues i do this than most of the time this works

What you need to do before I OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS THREAD PROVIDES ANY HELP, is follow these directions step by step. Boot into recovery. Select wipe data/factory reset. Select advance - wipe dalvik cache. Select mounts and storage - format /system. After and only after doing those 3 steps, flash the ROM and then flash GAPPs immediately after. For good measure, after installing the GAPPs, goto advanced - fix permissions and then reboot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
That's what I suggested MONTHS ago!

Back to the banter, just felt the requirement to interject...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OvaHex:
Can't forget that people won't even post in the QA thread for QA issues. So my belief is that suggestion (although a good one IMO) would never work. From what I've seen mods don't/ shouldn't have to moderate to that degree. Take a look around this thread, and imagine having to put all post in the correct places. That's just catering to the problem. Not fixing it.

People nowadays are far more about themselves and getting things done with the minimal amount of effort. What's the phrase...? ah-"instant gratification"

It's really sad that an individual whom works their a#@ off developing something practically full time, has to feel so walled in, that they have NO OPTION but to walk away from a project they once enjoyed because its turned into what feels like a hostile takeover of their work.

Shame on you who can't follow directions posted in the OP.

I know I'm going to get murdered for this, but is there any way we can get a 'known bug / status on fix' type section?

For example, my gps doesnt work as it should. Yes, it works kinda, but not where it should be.. I'd love to tear it apart with some other fans and check it out
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ice5192:
You have been murdered
[Samsung Infuse 4G] RoryB:
The hope is the Q&A section is where people can share their problems.

This way if one person's problem turns out to be an actual problem with the firmware, it gets to the attention of scott.

There has been several versions of the firmware where only a few have a problem yet the comments persisted in this development thread. It is better to start in Q&A.

Sometimes there are comments about versions that are not the latest. Again, better to discuss those in Q&A. This thread is for the latest version and where people can post actual data like logcats, etc. not just comments of this or that does not work for me.

re: your GPS problem. Install the FasterGPS app - it is essentially a front-end to the gps.conf file and allows you to play around with the settings very nicely. It used to take me 13-15 minutes to get first lock, I can get it at around 2 minutes now.

there was a few discussions on this topic before, and I think the default setting (as packaged into the ROM) works well for those in the US. I live in Canada, so I had to make some tweaks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jimlmackjr:
As for my self i dont build roms and i read what working and what not and i dont filp out with the GPS is off or teathering is not working

IMO--- if u have a job that u need teathing then eather got back to a custom GB or ICS and stay there till u read that teathing is working

im just glad we have a person like Scott and the rest of the BadA$$ builders even working on JB. i remember like 2 months ago when it came out

and it was posted there would be no way it work on the infuse. but low and behold it works

thanks again Scott and the Team or builders for ur hard work
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bilihor:
Do NOT install FasterGPS. When I did, I lost gps completely.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] whois.christopher:
It is a mere front-end to the gps.conf file. I use it because it's easier than modifying the file using a text editor and having to remember the different parameters (and type them correctly, the syntax is case-sensitive). It's a tool that makes tinkering with that file easier. One should always research what the parameter is meant to do before applying it, and back out if something bad happens as the result.

I should have been more explicit about the tool and how it should be used. Like everything else bypassing the standard UI, tinkering/tweaking with the OS parameter directly can be dangerous and not for everyone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marty331:
100% agree, DO NOT INSTALL FASTERFIX!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ljdd:
sorry, forgot about that,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrhaddan:
I have run into this a couple times and it has been mentioned before. I notice this if I am running navigation or something that uses a lot of power, then I restart it because I 'think' it is having issues. If you let it sit for a while it charges back up, as it shows there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hattrickinc:
Scott,

Can you start an official 'gps issues' thread for JB-CM10?

(or the best way you want to go about it?)

Bro, you are really pushing your luck. Questions go in Q&A under general. These types of questions constantly under the development thread lead developers to feel that they are alone in a sea of critical users. There will be GPS issues because it is a miracle that cm10 works on this device. Please yell at Samsung or pull down kernel source and code the gps portion from scratch. Users constantly did this to me when I was developing and it put me off development unless it's absolutely necessary.

Tl;dr questions go in q&a, development goes in here

"bro".. If a thread is started, wouldn't that free up users from posting here?

And isn't that along the lines of the ideas for less craziness here a couple pages ago?

And wouldn't that organize whatever is or isnt wrong with it a bit, instead of searching how ever many pages?

And wouldn't that organize temp fixes or random solutions?

In the end, it was a question. Not a mandate.

If your having GPS issues or want faster locks try these premade configs

I'm not responsible if your friends iPhone 5 blows up or any other damage proceed at your own risk

Just download extract the one you need

If your country is listed its best to use it, if not just use the one for your content

Copy it and paste it in you root/etc folder it should have a gps.config in it back it up if you like

Change permissions to rw-r--r--

Reboot and test GPS

[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
FYI.... I ran into some unexpected issues with the new partition layout that will be included in the next build.... It appears that i took to much from /cache for the /system partition which causes issues with boot looping if you clear cache... I am going to take half of what i originally planned on and ill confirm that works before releasing anything. This will make our new /system partition 365 instead of the originally planned 380. 365 should still be plenty as i dont see /system growing to much more (but you never know..). Also, for whatever reason after the new partition tables are laid out and the install finishes, instead of rebooting back into recovery it just reboots and starts loading the OS... I am pretty confident i have found out what causes that and am going to hopefully get that resolved after work... Worst case scenerio... On the first flash to convert to the new layout, you will need to manually boot back into recovery to flash GAPPs or whatever extras you may add... No biggie in my opinion, but i would rather it be done correctly if at all possible.

So... With all that being said, Im expecting to have a new build out either some time tonight or tomorrow... Hopefully i dont have any disruptions or any other unplanned issues come up..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] spdivr:
It's great that you are continuing this great work, but I am so happy with the 9-26 build, I'd be hesitant to go with an update.

What does this system size do? Is it just in case of future OS updates, or can downloads from apps cause it to grow too big?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jt1134:
Just add the system property to keep dalvik only on /data, then you can steal as much space from cache as you want. I don't recall the full name of the property but if you look in device_base.mk in aries-common you can find it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
JT... The option to store dalvik on data is already set since a few builds back....

PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES += \

dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1

And it still causes the issues i described earlier when i take 30 mb away from /cache and add it to /system... Then when i take less away from cache, it works fine...

It only happens after you flash the build... boot up.. and then later go and wipe or format /cache from recovery... If you dont do that, it doesnt have any issues... Any idea as to why it works fine before wiping/formatting?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jt1134:
That's odd. Dalvik is really the only thing that should be doing any business in cache during boot up...can you paste a log and/or a list of the contents in cache?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Yea... your telling me... :laugh:

Anyways... I pulled a dmesg last night and it has a few lines in it that showed me that it was an issue with not having enough space on /cache... I didnt notice anything that showed anything else, but ill get it to you in a bit when i get home from work... should be 2 hours or so... Ill message it to you just incase you miss the post. Thanks JT.

Is there maybe somewhere else that needs to be informed of the system/cache size change? Dalvik?

If I'm waaay off I don't mind being quietly ignored. :):):). Lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Dalvik is informed of what it needs to do in the build.prop...

dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1 - Tells dalvik where it is going to be stored.... In this case, it would be data instead of /cache.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] redgrass83:
Hmm. Buffer manager is automatically made aware of dalvik storing to data instead of cache? Build prop takes care of all this? Maybe youre right in that you're taking too much. Odd though. Would think you could steal way more from the cache if all pointers are correct.

Could wiping/formating the cache revert it to its original size therefore causing the loop, since the size would be theoretically incorrect ?

Then again maybe the doctors were right, I did fall outta that highchair one too many times. ;p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerryeight:
hey scott the op is looking absolutely amazing man
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tfpHumorBlog:
On latest build my GPS doesn't seem to work. I factory reset and wiped cache as per instructions. Could it just be a bad flash? Should I wipe and reflash? Thanks!

Everything else works pretty well except for about one random reset a day. Not sure if that's normal. Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] j.smith:
Is cache used for any memory management at all in the kernel modules? As in... is it a ramdisk that perhaps some parts of the system simply assume they can use and will have enough space... but since you shrunk the size it ends up that in fact it doesn't have enough space?

It seems a bit suspicious that it's only the graphics drivers that are throwing malloc errors... does anything turn up in the source code if you search all those files for "/cache" (or whatever the mount point is)? I wonder if the graphics driver is trying to use cache as a swap location or something?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
Read the OP again, should answer your questions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
I used Faster GPS with no issues using these settings. With these, I can load GPS and get a lock inside of where I work, (which is a metal building that is an auto dealer). Installing and using GPSTest is beneficial also.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Thanks, but all the credit goes to elliot.newnham.. He was nice enough to setup EVERYTHING.

BTW...

Just a quick update... Im still running into issues with the updater script for the new partition conversion for upcoming build.. Im gonna check a few more things and possibly take a different approach tomorrow... Even if we are not able to get it working by tomorrow night (when i plan on releasing new build), everything will be fine as i can trim some of the unneeded files out to save us some space and not run into trouble.... So i guess the moral of this story is that updater scripts blow and there should be a build release tomorrow night. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] asadjewonxmas:
I also noticed the new OP. Looks great much easier to follow. I do have one question. I saw only the link to the regular gapps. Why is the Justinbean inverted no longer included? Is it recomended to not use his and just use the regular gapps?

Also while trying to fix my gps issue today i tried to replace my gps.conf file and i got an error stating that there was no enough space? how is it that my etc folder has no room? Any way to fix i cant rename the original file and add the new one or even paste over the top.

thanks,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] paulieb81:
Agreed the OP looks MUCH better. Great job. But if I can make a small suggestion to help you out, can you add a section above the downloads called "Knows Issues" that way every damn noob is less likely to continue to post 'those posts' that piss everyone off?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
I think I was trying to incorporate that into hints, can always add more stuff :good:

Justinbean is a mod to stock GAPPS, if you want to flash a mod its at your risk of stability.

What are you using? I just used root explorer and was able to modify the GPS.conf. (just go into the file and change) I would wait for the next release, should fix a lot of stuff :good:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GerardSamija:
Are you changing the folder properties (in Root Explorer or whatever) from R/O to R/W before overwriting? Worked fine for my Infuse, no errors.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] asadjewonxmas:
Yes i am. Thats why i was confused.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
The old copy isn't deleted until there are no more file descriptors for it. So, to overwrite it, you need enough space to hold the old copy + the new copy, and the old copy is still on-disk until every process that had opened it either closes it or exits. And we were bumping into no space left.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slicingtaco:
So I am running CM9 and this bad boy really flies compared to other GB based ROMs. If I move up to CM10 will I notice the difference in responsiveness and speed?? (Does it include real 100% butter?)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] araemo:
As far as I know, no one has actually fired up the profiler to find out if butter is 100% functional, but reports here have been that it is very smooth, so even if it's not 100%, it seems to be partially functional.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jimlmackjr:
Is there a back to ICS odin. Flash for the MTD I just would like to do a complete wipe. About every 10 flashes I like to go back to a complete factory wipe. Than reflash everything.thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marty331:
Had same issue, I went and deleted a few ringtones. system/ audio /media /ringtones
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
Yes, I'd imagine that's why Scott is working on enlarging the system partition...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
Keep these questions for the dedicated Q&A forum. On that note there is no MTD except for JB... A wipe/factory reset should clean it up pretty good though. You can also try qkster's wipe script

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Basically, Scott's JB build is pure smooth buttery bliss, don't doubt its awesomeness.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
FYI... thanks to araemo, we got the partition issues figured out and im planning on dropping a build here in a few hours... You guys can read this to get prepared for the upcoming build...

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING AND FLASHING!!!!: I had people test the following install and they left their external SD cards in the phone and had no issues, but if you do have an issue, remove external sdcard and try again. This latest build has been repartitioned so that /system is larger. system was previously 350mb and we were running out of space, so in order to avoid space issues, /system has been increased to 400mb. Now, since the partitions have changed, that means that they are going to wiped out and setup again when you flash the zip. This is going to cause the same behavior as the initial bml to mtd conversion flash. If you are on the previous MTD partitions, When you first flash, it will give you a warning message saying that your data will be erased in converting and you must flash again to and stop and you will see the dead android guy. This is just a warning message and is meant to be seen!!!. You will then need to flash again and this time it will start the conversion and then reboot into recovery and finish the conversion and then reboot into recovery again when it is finished. If you are on BML and converting to MTD for the first time, once you flash the package it will just start to install and reboot 2 times during the install process. When it comes back up the second time, you are finished and can proceed. You can then install GAPPs if needed or just boot up like normal. One last FYI... If you use an OC kernel, you need to use the newest one with the new partitions laid out or your gonna have some issue. Do NOT use old OC kernel on this new build.

Special thanks to araemo and JT for their help and knowledge.... These guys are absolutely full of valuable information.
