[Nexus S General] VOLTAGEROCK:
Check out this site:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1

Copy and paste it if it doesn't show up as clickable.

Go to step five and that is the black cover that I need to see what it looks like underneath. Right above where it physically says Step 5, scroll on the third pic to the right (the last one) and look where the cover is up, it reveals the metal harness (it's to the left of the SIM card port if you are looking down at the phone, but in the pic, its directly to the right). That is a metal (grounding) harness that for my CDMA phone and that is where I made sure my shielding (on the inside of the black cover) makes contact to.

Unfortunately, I don't know the GSM model and have yet to see the inside of the cover like I show in my pics.
[Nexus S General] CrackerTeg:
Actually, in step 14, it shows the back cover interior. If you need a close up, I'll see what I can do here shortly. Unfortunately,I got tied up last night and couldn't get you the shot.
[Nexus S General] VOLTAGEROCK:
I didn't even see at the bottom where it said next., it looks like it has the same shielding, so let's get somebody to ground to the metal harness connector right next to the SIM card holder to that shielding. I would be so amazed if that is the fix. When I look at it, it doesn't look like its getting a good grounding to the negative on the metal connector.
[Nexus S General] CrackerTeg:
Here's a better way of seeing the i9020 blown up: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/kpCFHLEYQK6MIuXO.huge

If you look at "my" back cover, it shows a black foam pad where you applied that small bead of solder. It isn't shielding. I believe that connector that the pad protects goes to the digitizer. If you pop the mobo off on your phone like it is in the picture, you'll see exactly what I mean. The connector goes through an opening in the mobo.
[Nexus S General] VOLTAGEROCK:
Dag Nabbit. I see what you're saying. W T F. There has to be something because mine has shielding and yours should too. Is there any way you can do a little troubleshooting project like I did... Open your phone where you can access the four gold prongs, and put a tiny piece of electrical tape on one connector at a time, sloppily put the phone back together and turn it on, then go to GPS test and find out for sure which prong is for the GPS antenna. Maybe the GSM version has the antenna moved due to the SIM card slot. But, I think that electrical tape test is a good idea. Try the one that we think is GPS first and cover it with the tape and put the cover on and battery in. If it's the antenna, you will see nothing appear on the GPS antenna app (GPS Test). If not, you will see satellites popping up (I'm sure you know this already! Oh and make sure you're outside, again,I'm sure you know this already too).

What do you think? Let's figure this out for christmas tree sake. I'm an electrical engineer so I am baffled just the same! Good luck.
[Nexus S General] waterface:
Having trouble with GPS reception strength, I have an i9023 which is exactly the model depicted on iFixit.

What I have noticed is that if I remove the battery cover the signal is strong, and if put it back on it drastically worsen.

Interference from the NFC antenna?

Not sure that I have understood how to mod my model of phone anyway, as I don't have the metal piece that voltagerock put solder on...
[Nexus S General] treesurf:
The NFC antenna on the inside of the back cover can become magnetize, which messes with the internal compass. My phone has this problem. Haven't figured out how to fix it yet. You might having the same issue.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] waterface:
The compass seems fine though, it seems to only have an impact on the GPS signal reception. Like, it halves (or even worse) the dB/Hz in signal to noise ratio, check with GPS tester yourself... F*****g annoying. Pretty much unusable in the car. My i9020T that recently passed away didn't have this problem.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] iaminflames:
I searched all over and couldn't find anything. Is there a version of the samsung weather widget that has been ported to work with any android device (such as the DX) around anywhere? I really like the look of the accuweather widget on the S2 and S3 and would love to have something like it on my droid x.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerwatt12:
my friend doesn't have a MicroSD. and the guide I read says a MicroSD is required, are there any other methods of rooting/flashing?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
You don't have to have a microSD card to root. You can just put the files on the internal sdcard.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
Yes put all the files you want to flash in internal sd card, i flashed alot using this methode
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
As maclaw left the forums, and I found that I can make his ROM to work with Galaxy Mini, I decided to port it. So...

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE BY FLASHING THIS ROM

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Small_town_boy:
Thanks for the work...is the rom fully resized to work on a ldpi device ..?

And it would be better if you add the link for gapps, it would stop some spams..(consider this as first ...:beer::)

Sent from my GT-S5570
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
Not yet, I'm uploading a build with updated lockscreen layout and fixed problems about Superuser

For gapps, I will do that (and I also use trebuchet launcher, right now it's using Apex Launcher) in the next release.

LOL

New release on first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MAD_psycho_Zz:

ok guys i succesfully ported touchwiz ux launcher but it hasn't all the features on sgs3 of course :) btw it is smoother than any other launcher.... should i post it on theme section??? now i only need to find a touchwiz 5 theme for cm9 :)

edit:i not ported i only tested and made it working xD
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
If you're a dev looking to develop a rom, you can use this rom as a base for any work, just add the thanks to every developer I posted in OP

If not, simply post it as an ICS launcher in theme section
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MAD_psycho_Zz:
ok anyway there is a problem with phone.apk.... process com.android.phone stopped but dunno why... also tryied to reflash but nothing :/

is aokp's phone.apk compatible with this rom? so we could just replace it...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
Well, if you modified buid.prop, and added or modified what api the RIL uses, you will have problem, use the GioRIL as string or do not use anything, by default it will load the default RIL available, which in this case is the tass RIL

AOKP Phone.apk works, but without the RIL string it will also FC, as it will not found the requested Tass RIL.

Modding this requires a mod in the framework. For now, I prefer this metod
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MAD_psycho_Zz:
i do not modified anything
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
Give me a logcat so I can see the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
Paul I already said it, but i'll say again. I love you dude :P sry for spamming, Im just happy :) will test it tonight
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] getside10:
Looking forward to be a stable rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] -NickHalden-:
great ROM, very smooth but the main thing, the phone.apk does not work !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
I will need to give a new release, will be today, Phone.apk fixed. Calls working. Fixed framework to use TassRIL (no more 2 bars signal), signal improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] misbah16:
HQ acceleration works?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
No it doesn't

New release available.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Strange colored stripes before splash image, and hot reboot while browsing the web... sorry, but I can't provide logcat now... tomorrow evening I'll try to reproduce it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
The Strange colored stripes are my try to make boot logo to work, but it does not.

About browsing the web, I'm browsing this thread with my phone and it doesn't have any problems, it may be a problem about specific pages, tell me the ones and I will try.

Example:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Xda, about 5 minutes after boot. Screen glitched for less than second before rebooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
I haven't got any issue after 30 mins of browsing, are you sure that you flashed V2 version?, and wiped data/cache?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Uhh... yes? The one with today date, and yes, as usual... will try it again tomorrow, cheers n' g'nite :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] VrOckerZ:
Dude, With this ROM I Have Got a Problem, its says .com.android.phone Unfortunately stops because of it i am not able to call or recieve calls, Do Upload a Patch for it

Edit: Downloading V2 Version :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] -NickHalden-:
while upgrading toV2 i have to wipe data again? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
Not really, as it is mostly bugfixes, but if you have any problem, wipe data/cache, as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kirakun:
Hey there, is it neccessary to wipe data after flashing v2, i have the initial one currently.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MAD_psycho_Zz:
with every rom you have to wipe data and cache before and after flashing to get a clean installation
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] d0vada:
I have some issues on V2:

- Lock screen is not working.

- Can't restore apps from nandroid backup with titanium.

- Home buton is not working :/.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MAD_psycho_Zz:
reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] d0vada:
Same :).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] -NickHalden-:
lockscreen,back button working?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] d0vada:
Same bugs lol :/. Waiting for dev response ...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
I had this exact same bug (the home button one), but it solved itself when I flashed it again and flashed gapps :|

About the lock screen, can someone else confirm it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MAD_psycho_Zz:
i don't have this problem.... i had it when i flashed the rom but then i flashed gapps and the problem was gone
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] -NickHalden-:
hey for me lockscreen works, phone.apk works and even the home button works.But the main problem is deep sleep not working!Hope you fix it soon and gmaps can't detect my location as well
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] examiner:
i dont have any problems in this rom...about the lockscreen...when i unlock it..it direct at the homescreen or anything...it doesnt show the lockscreen,i have to wait for a second to show the lockscreen when i unlock it..thats the only problem..overall its vgood running smooth....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
I mentioned it, it has a strange behavior, it works after some time :), GPS works, A-GPS does not :beer:

Oh, also, the CM10 nav bar fix works for this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] antonschwab:
that work
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
@Paul

Why don't you add your AOKP build in this thread. The original thread is mess and also one has to flicker through many pages to get the AOKP. You said you gonna do that in one of your post.

And also am too busy or say "lazy" to go through them.:p
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] aN1maToRRR™:
This Rom should be in original development section :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] d0vada:
I've flashed gapps and now is working.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] elixdragon:
This ROM is great but deep sleep not working at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Maclaw stopped developing this ROM for Gio and Ace. So will you continue this project?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] system.img:
You say you have full hw acceleration?

How is it possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FaIzaL3040:
Read #1 post once again

It say Almost working HW video acceleration ...not Full HW Acceleration
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
I said it earlier, it has a strange behavior, it needs a little time to work

Depends, I will probably continue it, if maclaw publishes updated sources, if not I will try anyway

Well, it's because the kernel has a proper implementation of the adreno200 gpu drivers, also the libs are the lastest from what I understand.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kirakun:
Well i've been using v2 for quite some time, and the impressions are well very impressive! Its very good, smooth (i wonder sometimes if smoother than gb really its almost jb-like when i swipe in drawer). The only problems i have is well:

1. the ugly circle which is not centered in the notifications pulldown.

2. Deep sleep :( I'm cpuspying it for now and hoping that it actually works. Its killing my battery seriously!

3. Youtube low quality, its fine by me since im not fussy about vids quality so long they are "good looking"

Overall its a great experience! thnx paul. I hope this will get even better! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
I have to optimize framework for ldpi, and thanks for your opinion :D

About deep sleep, I've been investigating, and I think I messed up something with the kernel. So I'll provide a patch later this day when I compile it and I had tested it. Because deep sleep it's working on ParanoidAndroid with a older kernel.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, about YouTube low quality I will try to take maclaw's mp4 decoder to see if I can get HQ to work (I don't think it will work anyway)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] d0vada:
Sometimes my screen freezes and i have to pull out the battery and restart the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Can't make that reboot happen again...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MAD_psycho_Zz:
for me all is working fine since this morning :) now i go to sleep and tomorrow i will say you if it is usable for daily use
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] system.img:
But the Adreno 200 libs are only for full 2d/3d acceleration and not hardware acceleration.

For hw acceleration we need openmax libs which Qualcomm has refused to release for ICS armv6 devices.

And if only youtube lq is working, it means that there is only partial hw acceleration! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Trublood_:
About that, Qualcomm will release the drivers for ICS, right? They just wont release it for JB
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
HW Acceleration is what you have said, 2D/3D acceleration.

What are you talking about is HW Accelerated Video Decoding. The thing is that the Qualcomm Adreno drivers are fully capable of decoding video for ICS (if not, there wouldn't be any playable video at all), but the thing is the QDSP5 Digital Signal processor, we do not have the proper compatibility layer, OpenMax libraries are that, a compatibility layer between the Google default decoders and the actual Digital Signal Processor, so, actually, from what I understand, HW Acceleration is working fully, Hardware Video Decoding is not.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] d0vada:
Fix deep sleep please :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] gabrielking9:
hope you build from source soon. XD maclaw's releases have bugs. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
I have fixed deep sleep, but the problem is the method to enable bluetooth causes deep sleep to not work anymore (Start the rom for the first time and it works, but if I enable bluetooth a single time, it's gone until I reflash it again). I have to look into it.

But I'll provide some kind of changelog :

Fixed deep sleep

Kernel: Linaro optimized

Properly fixed boot logo (this is not bootanimation, it's the coloured stripes you see in the lastest release)

More changes to the framework.

Fixed some sizes for ldpi layout (this is for paranoidandroid)

I have some kind of problem with my connection when syncing sources, my connection its cut every now and then, and that corrupted some things of the sources, so I have to use my second connection (which is also cr*p) to sync again. It will take a while because it's 1mb and the sources are like 10-11GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] gabrielking9:
WOW :eek: 10 GB , if i was a developer i never have patience to sync sources :p

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Small_town_boy:
This rom is good...

When I flashed it home button was not working as well as lockscreen but then I flashed gapps ...viola both are working...:)

But benchmark scores are low compared to gb...

and I think you can lower the size of the row which displays date in notification bar... and increase the size of widget buttons...

Quality of pics taken by cam are little lifeless..

keyboard is kinda laggy..

Isn't there a lite gapps package like jb for ics? Only 16mb available in system rom...

Overall a damn good rom..and can use it daily...

And then how do I import the contacts from sim...? Didn't find any option... pardon me if I have missed it...

Sent from my GT-S5570
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mr.faridcom:
To import contacts from sim:

1. open contacts

2. Select menu (press menu button while in contacts screen)

3. select import/export

4. import from sim card

Tapatalk 2-vel küldve az én GT-S5570-ről
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
Well guys, I've some updates from what I'm doing, sorry for not releasing anything as expected, but that's because I'm still fighting with my ISP to get the connection better.

First of all, I'll build from source.

Second, after I compile from source, I will send a test build to some testers (yes, you can be one, contact me, you need to have some knowledge about ADB). After testing, a release. And yes, Deep sleep will be fixed by then.

Third, The actual cause of deep sleep not working is the method of enabling bluetooth, to fix that I need to do something to the framework, and I didn't find any reliable method for decompiling framework.jar (not framework-res) and recompiling it again. So, it's preferable to build from source.

Fourth, you can actually fix deep sleep deleting the init.d script called 15bt (or 01bt, I don't remember which one) and rebooting. THIS WILL DISABLE BLUETOOTH.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
afaik BT worked fine on CM9/ICS without need of my "hack" (01bt). Second, you can take my sources for CM10, change some things and it'll be prefect. Maclaw has missed a lot of stuff in his build (bluetooth preventing deep sleep etc.) Also, in the latest kernel for JB, data usage counter should work on ICS.
