As much as I enjoy the audio bug fix and the capacitive light fix. Version 4 is unstable, it just keeps rebooting. As some of you know I've been here long enough to know whats wrong and whats right. Yes I have disabled notification light, yes I have verified the download is fine, and yes I have fixed wiped and did everything that you could to see if it would fix it, and no definitely not gremlins. So if you find to see yourself in a situation like mines, then you are assured you are not insane. As for the people who don't have these issues, then nice to know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Have you looked into the log your pulling before the reboots? Does it even reboot when plugged into to adb? Is it a soft reboot or a hard reboot?? It's the little details that help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I tried to get logs, but then it wont reboot :eek:

I'll try again :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Good thing we have stable ICS just flash back :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Its stable for me. Did you uncheck notification led?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
What's ICS? Lol jk

I might just flash back to Version 3, it was stable :P

Did you even read my post? Or did you just read one sentence and say, oh this person must be misinformed, let me just tell him again without reading the entire post :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
I'll flash to slim today and with unchecked notifications I get 0 reboots...so do my testers...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Well there is another factor. I did a factory reset and I mean who wipes the things. The TWRP recovery.

That might be a factor since I did a factory reset. I might reflash without doing a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Twrp is also working fine. So I'm not sure. Unless I get logs I won't even second guess my testers results.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
ADB over WIFI. Log that. Paste it. Profit.

It won't reboot because the phone is plugged into and staying at 100mhz even with the screen off. AGAIN, it's the little things.

EDIT: Just saw this one.

Who doesn't do that would be a better question. If flashing a new ROM always FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE/DALVIK, FORMAT SYSTEM. That's how I do it and I very seldom run into issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Unless I missed the option you cant format system in twrp. That is the main reason I prefer cwm for fresh installs. What I do is flash to a rom that uses CWM format boot, system and do a factory reset. I have no issues. However I also only use twrp for simple things like flash the 4.2 google swype style keyboard and the gps fix stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
You missed it. lol Welcome back.

From there if you click on that button that says mount you will find the option to wipe system.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Random reboots have been fixed in the 2nd flash, and this time I did not factory reset, but yes I did factory reset BEFORE I installed the ROM according to the instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
LOL. They've been fixed? How long ago did you flash? Are you sure there "fixed"? If there random I would be hard pressed to make a judgement on that for at least a few days. If they start to happen again PM me and I'll walk you through logging them. I'm having the same issue right now. It would really help to get others involved in the debug process.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
It is too early to say, but as far as I can tell, there aren't any reboots... Yet...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
I had 8 in relatively quick succession until the led thing was figured out. Haven't had one since and I always do factory resets I've flashed four different ROMs today so far.

Sent from a hole in the time/space continuum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Weirdest thing..I never seen the option to format system ever. I just booted to recovery and by damned its there. I swear in twrp versions other than 2.4 it doesnt exist. Thanks for forcing me to double check tho. I had been flashing the previous build of slim to format system. Yes Ive flashed this one four times. I screwed something up the first time. And the other two times I managed to do something and do a factory reset when trying to flash the keyboard android police leaked from 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Kyndig66:
I've never looked in the mounts section... it's in the wipe one though. Always has been.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Yeah it was in the wipe selection. I guess I must be older than I realized do not ever remember it being there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I don't fret, Erik fixes bugs :P

I also do factory resets but maybe this time... I'll skip

On a side note

I'm not the only one seeing this right? In the setup screen it asks you to choose a language and in the bottom it says "Skype", last time when I installed V4 for the very first time it said "Emergency Call". I find this funny cause Skype doesn't support emergency calls :P

do any of you know if the Slim ICS modem is compatible with this ROM. When I was Slim ICS I got great wifi reception and I am trying to replicate it in this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
New or old Slim ICS modem? There's a difference...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] suck it monkeys:
Good Question....I think its the new slim ICS modem. This is the ICS version i was on before [ROM][4.0.4] Slim ICS(T959V)-UNOFFICIAL. it was also done by the beast

Is anyone else getting reboots when uninstalling apps through the launcher?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Do this test the ability to connect to the internet via your browser at the farthest distance from your router with the ics version. Make note of this somehow. Now goto this exact same spot on jb version anc connect via your browser. Ive done a far amount of testing the wifi fix that was implemented in slim ics and other roms. I found it was merely cosmetic and a placebo effect because of the full bars in the notification bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
While that way will certainly give a you crude idea of the singnal stregths I prefer I little more data. This app will give you dBm of the signal. If you haven't used it you should. I don't use Slim so I haven't tested it but I did test from GB to ICS and they are the same. Even with less bars the signal was still the same dBm.

WIFI Analyzer
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I dont remember if I compared the dbm or not. I just remember walking outside until I lost signal and the ability to connect with my browser. I made a mark on the ground with a stick. I flashed slim ics and walked to that same spot and bam no longer able to connect to google. Did this five or six times over a week. Thats how I made my determination. Again this is all my opinion and if somebody can prove my findings wrong Im glad to admit it.

I think jeffsf has the best idea which was to change the reported signal to a level slightly higher that way it appears to have a better signal then it really does.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
I wasn't trying to say your wrong. lol I agree with you. I was just pointing out a more scientific way to verify the hypotheses. With that app you can write down the exact dBm from a few spots then compare those same spots on various ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] suck it monkeys:
first and foremost. Thanks to both eollie and hechoen (yes I hit the thanks button). I am going to try the combination of both methods with slim ICS and Bean to determine if indeed the signal is stronger from one to the other. you guys are AWESOME!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I just wanted to make sure people knew that was my opinion.

Im also having issues connecting via usb. If the phone is on for a period of time and I need to transfer something to the sdcard. When I attempt to turn on usb mode it will stall and reboot. This has been happening since v3 and no I dont have a log. 90% of the time I think ill go it next time and forget. Just want to toss it out there incase Im not the only one and like me have forgot to get a log. Ive had a couple other quirks but its the things tha make you shake your fist at the phone and think Im going to report this and forget..yes Im getting old dont make fun of me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Did any body else's camera app just disappear? Mine did. I have no idea why
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Its because the camera in ics and camera in jb are two different animals. Ics the camera and gallery are separate. In JB they arent. open your app drawers and it should be there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Ah that must have been it, I uninstalled the gallery in favor of quickpic. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] suck it monkeys:
I still have both the camera and gallery icons.

@echoen and eollie: I performed the tests on the wifi as you guys recommended and you guys are right the signal strength from ICS to JB is pretty close to identical. ICS wifi icon simply shows an improved image. here is what i got:

modem Wifi Strength (dBm) phone signal dBM ASU

ICS slim -82 to -89 -80 17

KJ6 -86 -83 15

LB6 -93 -83 15

KD1 -85 -93 19

KG4 -79 -73 20
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
monkeys, a single apk file is perfectly capable of having two different launch points.

That said.

I don't think that camera and gallery are the same "animal".

They are two different animals that are dependent on each other.

I looked into CM10, and there is a Gallery2.apk and a Gallery4.apk.

The gallery2.apk is the actual camera. Gallery4.apk is a launch apk set to go open the gallery portion of the camera.

Conclusion: We know it's possible to have two app icons within one apk. Examples are the AOSP GB music app which has the music icon and the videos icon in the app drawer, and the android AOSP 1.0, 1.1. Cupcake, Donut and Eclair as well as the touchwiz Camera apks which also allow camcorder launch from the apk drawer.

Google decided to change things up a bit by getting rid of camera, and combining it into gallery, and instead of making it short and sweet by adding a separate launch point within the app, they just made another apk for launching the gallery.

As you can see there is only ONE gallery in slimbean. Plus in 4.2 they changed they gallery and camera for the 360 photo sphere stuff.

Flashed last night and let it sit, i'm assuming it had no problems while I was asleep, but when I woke up this morning and started getting ready for school I set my phone on the counter in my bathroom and while it was sitting there it started for vibrate for about 3 seconds non-stop and then rebooted. has this happened to anyone else? it seems to be random, with there not being a specific repeated action causing the reboot, at least for me.

EDIT: now that I think about it, could this be the LEDs rebooting it? I know that's a known problem, I'm just not sure if it's the same one i'm experiencing. also, i wiped and reinstalled, and it's still occurring
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Sounds like a textbook case of bad notification LED reboot. Notification, vibration, reboot.

Turn it off in system settings, disable in any app you can think of that has its own notifications. If it still happens, you probably missed one... think harder. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
disabled in system settings thinking that that's what caused it, haven't rebooted since! quite happy with the rom now!

Ok I dont have logs but dont yell. Im getting some serious up time of the the theme chooser no matter what theme I use. When I do check logs from system tuner I think Im seeing a bunch of errors of the theme trying to call certain functions to theme. Does this seem like a plausible theory?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
I installed this finally and everything is good. I didn't wipe, but instead i upgraded from AOKP ICS. One thing though, everytime i take it out of sleep, it says SD Card safe to remove. Any solutions? Do i need to clean install it? Thanks for the great rom and work Erik!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
try a clean install and if that doesn't work, verify that it isn't your sd card failing

Has anyone tried any version of inverted gapps on this rom? I have tried a few different ones I have found and phone and people disappear from app drawer with all of the ones I have tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
I think this rom caused my sd card to fail. The card is only 1 month old, is a 32gb sandisk. Now when i plug it in to the sd card slot on my laptop, it doesn't even show the card. I need to do my best to retrieve the data at least because i have pics and videos of my 8 month old daughter.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Try another computer. My sdcard reader on my computer that was two months old quit. I do not think the rom messed up your sdcard. It is likely your computer not recognizing the media reader. Sometimes this happens when people mistakenly select a do this every-time option.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stoneduser8907:
Kinda answered my own question apparently has nothing to do with rom but there not being a 4.1.2 inverted contacts.apk unless im just not finding one anywhere. Apparently both phone dialer and people are part of contacts.apk system file. If i'm wrong someone please correct me lol.

Phone dialer is part of phone.apk check system/apps again.

Just wondering What CPU governor and scheduler you are guys using? I am smartassv2 and deadline.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
When I want good battery, I keep going back to ondemandX and deadline. 200-1000 or even 200-900, still feels generally smooth and deep sleep (sometimes) works.

When I want to try to make ICS feel a bit more peppy (JB is peppy enough even with odX), I generally do SavagedZen with deadline, since apparently it's a less-battery-intensive smartassV2. And then I get lured back to the battery life of odX and go back.

I wander away from deadline every now and then, but it seems to have the best balance of not getting apps locked and good battery life. From my reading, both noop and SIO tempt me at times, but never end up providing the same battery life and performance I'm looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stoneduser8907:
I did see that there. This is what is happening when I try to install inverted gapps after a clean install of rom the dialer will say something like application not installed and Phone and People are then missing from my app drawer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
You will probably have to manually push the phone.apk to the system/apps folder then change permissions to rw r r

I'm using SmartAssV2 with CFQ, I think CFQ is better :P

OC'ed to 1200MHz-400MHz, when battery goes under 65% it goes intro 1200MHz-200MHz, thinking about adding undervolt settings.

I'm using SetCPU btw.

What do you mean by when I am on 4G? LB6 uses 4G too. Did you just want to make sure you where on 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
One of the standard bugs that most users of LB6 have is that the display above stays 3G instead of changing to H like normal. You can see in the screenshot hutson provided that it says H currently.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
I thought it was stuck on 3G too but I ran a speed teat and was getting 4G speeds. Check out my post on the dev forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Like I said:

The display is the bug... you actually get 4G speeds, it just shows as 3G instead of 4G (as in GB) or H (as in ICS).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hutson23:
When I tried it..LB6

It only shows 3g I know it is said

that you get 4g speed but it does

not show 4g or H like KJ6 does.

Other than that I don't see anything different about the two modems.

Maybe you could please tell me the

differences in the 2 modems...Thanks in advance..

Sent from my SGH-T959V
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
KJ6 has issues sending long text messages. This is the last version T-Mobile gave us.

LB6 shows 3G instead of H for 4G which confuses users and sometimes has wonky GPS. This was a version from the 959W from Wind, which is apparently the same phone but from Canada.

KD1 and KG4 both work fairly reliably with text messages, GPS, and 4G display. One version or the other works better based on your individual phone and/or ROM.

Which version should you use? Depends on if you send long text messages, absolutely NEED to see that little H, want to use the latest regardless of reliability, or want stability. :)

I can't make that decision for you, but I think you've eliminated LB6 based on your needs, which leaves any of the 3 K-modems as a valid option. If you send long text messages, that eliminates KJ6; else it remains valid. Flash, flash, flash, decide for yourself. :D

Additional logs???

Just wondering if you guys need any additional logs for some of the known bugs that are left? I have sent some in all ready in previous post for the video playback issue and device settings. I figured I would ask..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
Hey guys, i've been on this thread for years, but i think i'm just an idiot or i just can't do things right. For some reason, when i flash, i think i am doing it wrong. I tried to flash and reflash, but it doesn't seem to overwrite anything. After wiping the cache, wiping system, then installing the rom, i still get my same wallpaper and apps. I am on FBis125's TWRP recovery. Here are my steps.

1. reboot to TWRP

2. Advanced/wipe data

3. Wipe system (i even tried to check off mount system before)

4. Install rom (i even tried to reboot before doing this)

5. wipe dalvik cache

6. reboot

Thanks for the advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
I think Google backs up your wallpaper now but just check under settings - about phone and check android version if it's 4.1.2 then you're good
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Hmm... try just deleting data and see what happens. If you reboot and it's still working normally... then your data-wipe is failing.

When I want to wipe data, I usually do a Factory Reset instead, since that takes care of all of the different locations in one easy step.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
Maybe, but that doesn't really explain why the apps are still there.

hmmm...Does the factory reset wipe MORE than the wipe cache and system? i didn't want to factory reset because i wanted to see if there was something wrong with the wiping and that it wasn't wiping everything. I love this forum, thread and all these devs and helpful people on here, but DAMN! i can't wait to get rid of this phone. 3 more months......

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stoneduser8907:
Factory reset removes all your user data such as sms/calls/contacts/wifi passwords/settings, pretty much anything user defined stored to device itself ( not your pictures and music and such stored on your ex-sd). As stated above Google does allow you to backup/restore some of this through their servers I believe it gives you the option when you first add your google account to the device and I do believe it does restore at least your current wallpaper at time of backup with it. Apps shoould be gone with factory reset unless it was included on your original rom and you didnt do a system wipe or if included with new rom.

Wiping system will only really remove the ROM (i.e. system files) itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
You're apps are re-downloaded if you're on JB. It's annoying so I just sign-in in a later time. Your wallpapers are also stored in your SD card so when Google restores some settings it restores wallpapers that are stored in your SD card. It doesn't re-download it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
You don't have to sign in at a later time. Just uncheck "Restore this device from google account" and check "Keep this device backed up with my Google account". That way it won't restore any of your apps via DL but will restore your contacts.

Is the regular CM10 rom updated at the same time as this one? On that thread it shows all the same bugs but none of them crossed out. Are they still an issue in that rom? I'd assume they would have been fixed at the same time any in this were fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
It's updated when it gets compiled and uploaded. At whatever that point is, it has those bugs. If Slimbean and CM10 get compiled around the same time by the same team, they probably have the same bugs. If SB gets compiled 2 weeks later, it may not have the same bugs.
