Since the nightly 20120927 the well known wifi problem still remains for me. As shown in the attached pics, the router can be found and signal strength ist also normal before trying to connect. But as soon as I try to connect to the router, the signalstrength becomes almost zero as it is in the 2nd pic and can't get connected.

I am using a 802.11b/g router and it is WPA/WPA2 protected.

But as I already mentioned in another post, it can connect to a router which supports 802.11n.

Does anyone has an idea, what the problem could be and how to solve this?

Thanks anyway for the awesome rom!! Just works great.:good:

Guys,

I'm trying to return back to stock, unroot and reflashing stock rom...

Will reflashing I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU and Modem_CWM_I9300XXLG8 back to my phone return the firmware/baseband back to stock for my i9300xxlg8?
[Galaxy S III General] :
Any one thought of trying to make some noise about Samsung not releasing the necessary sources for the Exynos?

I think if some major tech sites will publish articels about this issue then Samsung will consider releasing what the developers need!

Would love to see this affecting Samsung, and I'm sorry for not being optimistic about it, but sadly this sort of 'noise' has been attempted before and was unsuccessful.

Example - http://www.change.org/petitions/sam...t-achieve-full-potential-of-purchased-devices - Failed
[Galaxy S III General] :
I'm not talking about sending letters to Samsung itself but to major tech sites like engadget, Gizmodo, Mashable, Techcrunch, PCMag, etc. and encourage them to publish articels on our problem and claiming for response from Samsung. The preshure from them just might be the thing to make Samsung realese the sources! :victory:
[Galaxy S III General] bortak:
Do you honestly think that Samsung, a company which has sold 20 million (?) devices, cares about the few thousand who may want to put CM10 on it? Nope. This isn't going to happen, you can kick up as much dust as you want, nothing will change, Samsung is far too big and greedy to care.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Am I the only one who thinks it wrong?

Am I the only one who thinks that "few thousand" people can change that?
[Galaxy S III General] mat.hen:
No.

Yes.

I9000: 120.000 CM Users

I9100: 140.000 CM Users

I9300: 30.000 CM Users

n7000: 30.000 CM Users

+ i9100g + ace + tablets and all the others...

Let's assume 400.000 CM Users on Samsung Devices...

And let's assume they're making 10$ out of a device (they do much more...).

Care about some million dollars or not?

Now it's your turn...

The problem is to get them all together.

If there only was a way to send a messege to all the devices running CM... :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] Entropy512:
What they release is kernel source, and a few parts of the platform source that aren't actually modified or really critical.

In short, everything in the Platform tarball is stuff that is already in AOSP and the AOSP version works fine.

What we need the most is proper functioning source for hwcomposer and the other graphics subsystem stuff at https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung/tree/jellybean/exynos4/hal

libhwcomposer is the most important

Next is libfimc/libfimg

Next after that is libhdmi/libhwjpeg/libs5pjpeg

Next after that is libcamera - we've lived without source for it so far, but it's annoying.

Sort of... I support the Note 10.1 (GT-N8013), which has the same chipset and many other commonalities, but since it's wifi-only, tethering is not something I'll be working.
[Galaxy S III General] SiriusCybernetik:
I would even go further and say that many of those who install custom roms on their phones are considered by family and friends as knowledgeable in that matter.

Our advice is sought by people around us when they come to buy a new phone.

I, for instance, have guided 7 people towards buying a samsung in the past 3 years.

This will change in the future.

Just wanted to confirm this. It's exactly the same for me.

Running cm stock kernel and never had a Samsung JB leak on my phone.

Also wanted to confirm how awesome the devs are! :good:
[Galaxy S III General] mutaz102:
just install siyah kernel that will solve the problem ;)
[Galaxy S III General] :
yep... install Siyah kernel and never post again on this thread, since bugs/problems from users with other stock than kernel aren't welcome.
[Galaxy S III General] Choda50:
Just want to mention that this has been happening on my SGS2 with CM9 as well, on whatever the latest nightly that had 4 weeks ago.

Oh, OK.

So all I need to do is get opensource/uncompiled Samsung ROM right?
[Galaxy S III General] :
Because you were one person! Think if 100,200,300 people send them letters on the same topic...

If you did not see those petitions does not mean they dont exist.

I remember i DID myself signed one - petition was started with Coderworkx - we did 10 000 signatures - and think what? Sammy gave a s***t on it 8-) Not more not less - just nothing at all.

when trying to mount a smb share

mount -t cifs /host/share /mnt/cifs

Oh ok I understand everything now. I think I can get it ;)
[Galaxy S III General] zahni_tue:
Yes I know. But this would be just a temporary fix. I'm just wondering if this could be fixed by changing something in the codes of the kernel, since I am a absolute numb regarding to codes.:confused:

Maybe this is just a small problem, because till the nightly 20120926 for everyone wifi just worked fine, but since 20120927 for some it workes and for others it doesn't.

[Galaxy S III General] bvx89:
Hi guys.

I'm having a problem using the CMUpdater. From reading a bit through the forum I knew that I would have to create a folder in /sdcard named cmupdater, but when I try to install the update after downloading it I only get a "E: unable to mount /sdcard" in the CWM menu.

I get this same message if I use the option to install from sdcard in regular CWM as well, but I have always chosen the "install from internal sdcard" option to be able to update. After a couple of Google searches, I found something about having to format my sdcard. I hope there's another way around if you guys know one.

Thanks

EDIT:

For anyone with the same problem, it was solved by updating CWM to v6.0.1.2 by using this info
[Galaxy S III General] Codekrypt:
No problem :)
[Galaxy S III General] djmickyg:
here is one that was started a while back, i think it was for the S2

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/xda-users-petition-samsung-to-share-more-with-developers/
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
it's like this:

You backup one rom, everything from that rom is put in a blobs folder, while some system and data stuff are placed in a ~20mb folder which you see as your rom. If you then flash some other rom and you want to back that up, then cwm only adds stuff you haven't already backed up into the blobs folder thus saving a lot of space if you want to have several backups.

Then when you restore the first rom, it chooses everything relating to that rom and possibly some newly added stuff (like the newer version of an apk) from the second rom.
[Galaxy S III General] eseregin:
Exactly, my prev phone was sgs2 8-)

Or about the same, dont remember - link for vote was in codeworkx signature
[Galaxy S III General] ManCityFC:
I tell you now, sending petitions to them will be utterly fruitless. You need to get it into the public domain where other potential customers can see it.

Somebody draft a statement asking for what you need, then everybody go to their regional facebook pages and cut and paste it on to their wall. The PR people will hate it, and they will put pressure on technical to release whatever it is you're looking for.

One thing the author of the statement must do is paint Samsung in a bad light, but not abuse them. Ask politely and point out the plus points and negative points of what they are doing....and ensure that you point out how receptive their competitors are to these requests. Make the products sound slightly dubious commercially, and perhaps even gently accuse them of being technically inept and bullying.

I know what marketing departments are like. If you inhibit their potential to sell the products because of constant negative press, especially when posted in the public eye like Facebook, in front of potential customers (regardless of the fact that they will understand the negatives) - they WILL pressure the company to release what you need. Point out the size of this community, keep it factual, and point out the fact that we are major influencers by our very nature and that we are very brand loyal. It can work and if I was technically competent enough to write the statement then I would, but unfortunately I'm not, so over to you.
[Galaxy S III General] ipguy:
Can you please write up said post?

You seem to have a clear understanding or the approach and a nack with words
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
Nice post, I agree with you. I often see complaining posts on the Dutch Facebook page of Samsung and they always reply, try to keep it all "under control" and help themselves out of it. Your idea might have a chance of succes, at least on the Dutch page where it seems there is a "reply to every post" rule.

Anyway I agree with your approach!
[Galaxy S III General] ManCityFC:
Like I say mate, I'm not technically astute enough to know what to ask for, but I will happily take a statement and dress it up in marketing flannel to make it raise one or two eyebrows. I don't know what's been asked for, the facts about community size etc.

[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
Now the magic is to ask for this, but turn it into a story that makes avarage, normal people to say "didn't know that Samsung is giving you developers such a hard time!".

Because if we post this on Samsung's page, avarage people will be like "wtf is dat, don't care anyways" :p

If we can make all those normal people "support us", then it's a win.

Hi, if it is implement the note 2 hwcomposer, does we have full project butter? Thanks love you appear again.
[Galaxy S III General] stefanACM:
If I understand situation, developers doesn't have HW Composer. For AOSP ROMs they write something custom that doesn't work well (because there is no documents about Exynos and Mali). Also HW Composer for Samsung based ROM is not useful here.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:

Hope that someone, with good English, will write a statement for us to start to spread it over the web...
[Galaxy S III General] fabioff:
Because I'm somehow unable to get the red and green I'd like :o
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
It is. You will have to partly mislead the "normal people" :silly:

If we just write that Samsung is giving "developers" a hard time and they will stop developing stuff for Samsung users, it might grab the attention of the normal people. We don't say it's about development of CM10/AOSP ROMs off course, since this instant makes the normal user lose interest since it's something he/she doesn't know and doesn't need. "Stuff" keeps them intrested because it could be something they want/need.

*by normal user I mean people which don't know what root, custom ROM, CM10, Overclock, etc mean

[Galaxy S III General] Jurian87:
Let me start by saying that this ROM is awesome there are only two things. Scrolling isnt always smooth like it's supposed for example in the NU.nl app.

Second thing: How can i get weather and brightness slider in the notification panel? Ive been searching for a while now but i cant find it, though Ive seen screenshots which prove that it is possible

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9300 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III General] qwerty12:
Weather in the notification panel is an AOKP thing AFAIK, although Google Now will randomly give you weather notifications

As for the brightness slider, no idea, though I believe there's an option to adjust the brightness by dragging your finger along the statusbar
[Galaxy S III General] marcopro79:
Yeah, sorry the double slash was actually there, it was just a typo writing the post.

I tried nightly builds from Oct 4th to 6th and none of them work.

I even tried SiyahKernel (s3-1.6.8) but the cifs kernel module doesn't even load.

Does it work for anybody? If so, which build?

Thanks

Marco
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
1. Did you turn on Force GPU Rendering in Settings, Developer Options? (for me this makes nu.nl smooth)

2. I think it's just an AOKP feature. I can only find weather for the lockscreen, not notification panal. Brightness slider neither. Both AOKP features (I tried out ParanoidAndroid yesterday and it had both, so it's AOKP stuff)
[Galaxy S III General] bordikun:
is there no clipboard for this ROM? to put a stack of what you copy?
[Galaxy S III General] Jurian87:
Thanks, gpu rendering did the trick!

If you're missing the clipboard in Sammy stock, it was fairly botched and only worked in stock apps.. No global function. Try "clipper" from play store, it'll work globally..

preview 6

Installed preview 6, codeworkx's 21th a while ago... = http://dl-bacon.bbqdroid.org/dinner/cm-10-20120721-EXPERIMENTAL-i9300-CODEWORKX.zip

So far i have noted just 1 difference between this one and the preview 5 edition, 3g seens to be working better now...

For me everything is working for the exception of the CAMERA that still only works once in each reboot... which do not prevent me to use it as daily driver

Another thing that i noted is that with preview 5 + MAPS installed i had many wake locks, MAPS APP drained 21% of my battery as it was on battery stats. To reproduce it just install MAPS.

Have not tested it with preview 6, but im not sure if this is a CM10 problem or a MAPS problem (it can be not 100% ready/compatible for JB, i dont know)

*obs: MAPS app was "closed" - as holding center button and moving it to side.. before anyone says it was left opened and thats the reason for the huge battery drain
[Galaxy S III General] bricky23:
Using preview 5 with Abyss kernel. Camera is working great. Front and back. Trying video causes problems and must reboot to get camera working again. Google + was using up a lot of battery, so removed it. This is running very well!
[Galaxy S III General] DrGomez:
It's probably a maps problem, as maps is ALWAYS running in the background no matter if you close it or not. Even force closing it it will always return back to the instances.
[Galaxy S III General] gokussjx:
Yeah, that happens.

The best solution is to 'freeze' the app under Settings-> Applications.

It won't start until you unfreeze it. (You won't even see the app in app drawer without unfreezing)
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
I use the app auto starts to disable it. I like it because it has more options than just stopping an app at start up like other apps do. Certain things you do on your phone sometimes cause an app to open. Autostarts allows you to not only disable the app from start up, but from also stopping it from running when these events happen.

For Maps for example

it loads on start up, when another app is installed, when another app is uninstalled, when a app is replaced (updated), when you connect power, and when your location providers change
[Galaxy S III General] keirmccann:
Does it include all the jb goodies like voice control etc?
[Galaxy S III General] yeeson:
+1，The same situation！
[Galaxy S III General] koreandutch:
yes. if you want to flash the rom, you have to make sure you are flashing the gapps also.
[Galaxy S III General] gokussjx:
By my experience, Abyss Kernel works really well upto CM10 Preview 5.

In preview 6, I found Abyss Kernel actually slows the ROM down... Felt like ICS all over again.

Flashed back stock ROM/Kernel, & its flying butters again ;)

Also, FaceUnlock works in Preview 6! Nice progress, Codeworkx & XploD! :good:

[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
You can also get on screen keys by decompiling framework-res and changing a value in the Bools.xml file

This way it gives proper soft keys not off centered tablet nav buttons.

Camera firmware can be found at kernel sources:

kernel/samsung/smdk4412/firmware/SlimISP_GD.bin.ihex

kernel/samsung/smdk4412/firmware/SlimISP_ZD.bin.ihex

Can be compiled with "make firmware".

We're shipping it on /system/vendor/firmware and copying it to /data/cfw on every boot.

Samsung does it similar. It's not packed into the kernel.

If you open the camera, the kernel driver checks the firmware shipped on the sensor itself and the ones in /data/cfw.

The newest one will be used then.

Mine for example only works if there's a firmware in /data/cfw. Otherwise camera doesn't work at all.

We know that the camera only works once after a boot. Also changing resolution doesn't work.

Closing the Camera App:

stopPreview()

releaseCamera()

Changing resolution:

stopPreview()

updateParamters

startPreview()

Let's guess what happens?

Everytime stopPreview() is called the camera fully locks up and does nothing after this. On closing camera app it's not properly closed and cannot be used until a reboot. Same for changing resolutions.

And the best thing is, we're getting no error message. It just locks up.
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
to go a step further.. it could also be as easy as getting the framework-res from the JB Galaxy Nexus OTA. It probably has all the settings to display the on screen nav It should work with cm 10. That's prob the easiest way. I'm having issues recompliling the apk. It decompiles fine but get errors on recompile no matter what version of apktool I use.
[Galaxy S III General] DrGomez:
I find this quite interesting actually. Why would that happen. Are you sure it went slower?

I was looking forward flashing that kernel :(
