You're on GB now?

Then copy the /efs folder to somewhere on the sdcard. (The whole folder).

Then when you install cm10 just copy it back to /efs.

Jelly Bean (re)introduced a re-designed 'Forward Locking' implementation.

Basically, purchased apps are now encrypted and no longer stored at

[ /data/app ]

but instead

[ /data/a-sec ]

This is already causing problems (like yours) as can be evidenced in this issue HERE

An excellent write-up on the 'Forward locking' implementation in Jelly Bean can be found HERE

Every reboot yes. But it's on the issuelist.

But you might try wipe your system and flash the newest build, with modem and GApps on top.

For me it's solved now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] harrym17:
Humble suggestion- make an option of saving in camera- internal or external sdcard, like in ics.

Or is it there, and I'm an idiot for not noticing it?

I really am a dumbass- if it can;t mount external sd, unlikely to happen... :(

But isn't it the time to upgrade the boot screen from cm9 to cm10? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Eleve11:
Yes, it's valid!

But which should I copy, I have seven of them!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] purpleraintoxicity:
How can I check if my imei it's valid without moving back to gb?

I switched parts of my phone so my imei it's probably changed, but my stick in the back it's the original one, cause that's way I can get my support at the carrier...

Now 3g and signal is good, only lost signal twice for 2 sec ootb.

Thus it's what the phone's imei is now in settings: 004999010640000

It is it valid? Doesn't imei suppose to have letters too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ballsofsteel:
There should be a number under your battery, check if that's the one.

Edit: apologies didn't read your second paragraph :p

IMEI only has numbers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Abyv:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
There's only one "/efs" folder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Eleve11:
Okey. I have ten folders with the name "efs-***" (***=Numbers)

But I have only one with the title "efs". So that's the one I should copy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
Yes, but are you sure you're looking at / and not at /sdcard/backup?

Usually, there's only one efs folder in /
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
any one of them but specifically NOT the one called /efs because that's the one that is wrong?

this is why I use Nitrality to make the backup and do the restore: "oneclick" and I don't have to mess around trying to figure out why the manual copy doesn't work (because the file is always in use!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikandlotta:
I would copy the good one you have on GB to another place and delete all the other backups.

ie: copy root system /efs directory to external sd card.

flash JB. Check to see if you lost the IMEI (I did not when I recovered)

If you have lost it in the upgrade, make the root system EFS directory writable (try Solid explorer or similar with root access)

Copy back the good directory

reboot

and you should be fine..

(I struggled with write access some times but I think that is what worked for me - maybe some more "techy" will have a better solution)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
He's in GB now, with the correct imei.

That's what he said.

He should now backup his efs foldrr .

I'm not sure but sometimes it seems he's not really looking at /.

AFAIK, he could have solved everything still in cm by copying /sdcard/backup/efs into /efs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikandlotta:
I got scared off Nitrality as that is what wiped my external SD card when there was the backup formatting bug on an earlier build.....:o

Sometimes it is easier, if not more sweaty... if you have more control than an automated app...

Thanks, I has copied the folder "/efs" now and will flash JB and copy it back if the IMEI disappear again!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Weedalot:
Who is your carrier? Orange Cellcom Pelephone? Your imei is wiped and it shouldn't work, but for done reason the Israeli carriers don't mind and let you use the network with this "black listed" imei
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mikandlotta:
You have indeed 'lost' your IMEI. That number is a 'dummy' number - it works with some telcos and not with others.

You will need to restore from an EFS backup, and if you do not have one, go back to Gingerbread, backup the folder from there then upgrade.

Follow the many many recent posts for help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Metalzoa:
So ...

I installed JB a few days ago and everything was buttery smooth. Over the days its gotten slower and slower :(

Not sure what the culprit is, but no setting has been changed, so I'm unsure of what the problem could be.

I've seen in a few posts some talks about .nodatadata being a fix to the speed issue. However I'm unfamiliar with the file (never used it, even on older CM versions) and I'm hoping to find something or the other to put the pep back in JB and speed it up. I don't think I have too many apps installed (2 full pages and one with 16). I don't get a low-memory error. I also relentlessly shut down apps not in use.

Any tips on what to do to keep my phone running as buttery smooth as the first install would be greatly appreciated :)

Guys need help. Is there any fix of gmail, I have been facing this problem since ICS. All the email i reply never go (99%) and just show sending even after months they show 'sending'. I am really fed up of this. Can anyone help on how to fix this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] matesc:
Yes on both kernels
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
well, I had this a couple of weeks ago and simply reflashing gapps didn't work.

I had to re-flash the rom with factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik and then gapps and the modem again, to be sure. And then install gmail again from play store (as it's not part of gapps of course) - don't restore gmail from TB: it may or may not work but safest thing is to install from play store. other apps you can restore from TB like whatsapp, quickpic etc, but gmail is 'suspect' as far as restore from TB is concerned. It wouldn't be the first time that I tried it and it hung up TB and never finished.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
Sorry I've never seen that.

Since ICS I rarely use gmail on phone cause of this issue. Every rom, no email sends successfully.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
I actually lost my imei the first time I installed cm10.

Think that happens if something goes wrong in the setup script.

At that time I reflashed GB, installed cm10 again and the same thing happened.

So then I just copied a backed up efs into /efs and everything was OK.

Don't know about latter builds, since I haven't done a fresh install of cm10 since the first build, but with that one there was definitely an imei issue for some people.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] purpleraintoxicity:

my epd backup give me the same IMEI
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
Since you had mentioned the same issue with ics, from a troubleshooting point of view, seems more likely to be some issue related to the account. That's why I asked about trying another account...

Try it.

It doesn't affect everybody and not everyone is affected the same way.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kkookkik:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elitevet:
When you lost the IMEI, were you coming from GB or CM9?

What CM10 build were you installing?

Did you do manual formatting pre flash?

Going through the CM install script - it relies on the /sdcard backup of /efs it creates before the creation of partition layout, so if you hardware hickups and the files are corrupted on the /scdcard, you'd get the trouble with lack of your IMEI.

Also, as far as my understanding goes, if for some strange reason your /efs is not mounted on RFS coming form GB-Samsung based ROM there gonna be problem with it. I might be wrong about this one, though.

You should also look in your /sdcard/cyanogenmod_*.log files, to which the log of the process of re-partitioning is written to see whether all was right with it.

I never lost IMEI being on nightlies for more than a year, including the transition from CM9 to CM10. It did happen to me when I was playing with doc-kitchen ROMs back in the day, though, but this is hardly relevant to this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
The first time I honestly don't remember, because I was doing some testing. Probably GB.

It happened with a clean GB for sure, because when I lost the imei the first time I flashed jw4, tried again, and the same thing happened.

The first one.

Nope.

I actually recovered efs from the backup created by the script on the sdcard. It was fine. Just didn't get copied back to it's partition.

Well, it happened even coming from a Samsung ROM...

can check, but I've installed a lot of builds since then...

Only happened to me on the first cm10 installation.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Eleve11:
Just wanna say thanks to all of those who helped me with my IMEI problem.

I solved it like this;

Copied my working IMEI in Gingerbread from "/efs" to my external sd. Then deleted the old backups from "/sdcard/backup" and after that I flashed ICS, then Jelly Bean.

And then it worked :)

Would like to add that this is a forum that people help each-other with problems just like this.

Again, THANKS!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
The fm radio doesn't work, if that's something you want. Pretty much all the rest works.

The rom is fast.

Battery life is normal.

It's also an alpha, so it's still under heavy development.

Bugs still exist.

If you want to help, install it.

If you're just browsing the ROM shopping mall, don't install it.

If I connect the phone to PC I lose my ringtone and my notification sound. I have to wait several hours to auto rescan ... I hope it will be fixed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MetalPainis:
Read back the last let's say 40 pages, that should give you a sufficient impression
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
Did you copy your ringtones and notifications to /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and /sdcard/media/audio/notifications?

Those usually get re-scanned almost immediately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
if your ringtone is one that you selected from your sd-card, then you will lose it when you connect to PC - because SD-card is mounted to PC and no longer to your phone.

you can avoid this by copying the sounds to a place that stays mounted regardless

Only way is to keep the number of services low because JB is using a LOT of RAM.

Go to the running apps and look if some of them are in "restarting" phase. Also, search this tbread for dalvik and ram manager pro.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
normally on my phone I have only 4 running apps:

settings (well, it's running when I'm taking the option to watch running apps

whatsapp

google services

android keyboard

other apps may come and go every once n a while but that's it.

Now there's two services that recently have started to annoy me:

- google play notification service

- media download service

after every reboot I kill these two services. Why are they started? I have 'notifcations' OFF in Google Play. It started about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Anyway, it's only like this that I can keep battery life really excellent. If I start another app that runs in the background they invariably make battery life a lot worse. Facebook is actually not that bad but it just doesn't work very well over 3g, so I don't even bother.

Did anybody notice that, even though the status bar shows 'H' (Hsdpa), the actual measured speed does not exceed 350 kbps. The ping 250-350 ms is also very long, which increases the impression of a slow data connection.

Another sleep of death

So after another sleep of death in which pulling battery solves but stays in logo , i tryed to enter in recovery and made it.

After some cases i decided to flash CM9, and didn't work... recovery mode, restore old backup: suprise.... works and very fast.

I'm not saying that JB is slow, but for people who keeps telling JB is faster than CM9... please try CM9 again and compare.

This weekend i need phone, so go back to ics. Hope that next compile from CM10 has less sleeps of deth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eagle06:
why does cyanogen-mod doesn't include any file browser by default anymore? (old cm versions used to have it.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Holmes108:
I don't see the need to include one. Everyone has their own opinion on which is best, and it's simple to install from the market. I always end up removing any file manager that comes included.

I don't need to go back and double check a comparison. It's night and day for me. CM9 was very nice and quick.... overall speeds are similar. It's just the smoothness that JB excels at for me. The so called "micro lags" and such are completely gone. It's most noticeable for me when navigating menus, switching home screens, etc...

I don't generally notice much performance differences at all going from ROM to ROM. I often roll my eyes when people continually say "Oh, so buttery smooth" with every new ROM and new version that gets released (After all, how "smooth" can it continue to get!).

But JB is definitely the best one I've used. I truly don't think it could be much better, and I haven't had a single sleep or charge death yet.

Peoples experiences will vary though. However I know that people who are having good experiences on JB definitely aren't simply falling victim to a placebo effect. It really is a better experience, in general.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DROCSID:
It never had any filebrowser stock as I remember (cm7/cm9)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
I've been using cm10 exclusively since build 1 and never had a single "sleep of death".

Clearly something related to your setup. It happens.

Anyway, what you should do, since you ran into an issue in your device, is try to help in fixing it by debugging and providing information.

This is a thread about an alpha build.

If you're window shopping for a production quality ROM, this is clearly not the right place. There are users with good results and users with bad results, as is to be expected at this stage. Don't expect your results to be the only with any truthfulness or relevance.
