Some News

Hello everyone! :)

I have some great news for you guys! As you guys probably know, arco68 released his sources for the new 3.0 kernel on the jb-3.0 branch.This means that we are finally getting working Vsync (this time for real). With help from some great developers, I managed to compile a 3.0.58 Kernel from arco's sources and tested it on ErikMod ROM's and I must say that I am amazed. The phone is smoother than ever, I can say it is smoother than the S3. Also, the annoying problem of Shutdowns (SOD's) is now fixed for real on any baseband. Everything is working except the camera which will be fixed soon by our great devs. Vsync will work only if I change the ROM base, I need to compile CM10 from source again than apply this new kernel. I won't release this kernel or the new ROM until ivendor does because this is his work and this is the way things must go. I just informed you guys that a big update is coming, after ivendor will release his new CM10 I will tweak it and add all the ErikMod features that you guys are already used to (battery life and performance).

So I hope in the end we'll get an awesome ROM with great smoothness, amazing battery life and super gaming performance. And all this thanks to arco and ivendor.

Regards,

Erik

Hello,

First of all, thanks for the work here, I really appreciate what this forum does for the Android community.

I'm having issues with this ROM. I tried to install the HardCore ROM following the instructions in the OP, with CWM. It gave me an error, so I tried the normal ROM, same error. I tried simple one, same error. I went to another thread for another ROM, same error.

I googled the error (something like: assert failed getprop("ro.product.device" )...) and I learnt from various sites that I had to delete 1 line of code from certain file.

I did, and now I didn't get the error. But when I turn the phone on, it gets stuck on the CyanogenMod boot animation.

I tried to reinstall the ROM by going on the recovery mode, but it gets on "RAMDUMP MODE"

:(

Thanks, I need my phone, is it bricked?

What combination button did you use? Power+ Volume Up button ?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Well, this is strange... so you say, you cant install any custom ROM?

But I need more details, like which version of CWM are you using?

And that certain file is build.prop I guess, if you say "ro.product.device" but you shouldn't be messing with that if you don't know exactly what are you doing.

I would suggest to flash back to stock ROM with Odin (you'll find tutorials in our Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development thread I think is this one: /showthread.php?t=1922505) and reflash CWM and do everything all over again. As long as you can boot into download mode and recovery mode your phone is not bricked.

Try this to get into recovery. Normal button combination doesnt work either for me.

Turn off phone.

Press and hold the power button until you see "samsung".

When you see "samsung", release the power button and quickly press and hold the home button and the volume-up button. Hopefully you get in recovery, as this useally works for me. Try it a few times
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] yiannis_12:
To get into recovery you only need to press the power button and the volume up button. If you press the home button also you will get in ramdump mode.

I dont know if this is only my problem but for me 3G is not working.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Well, you have to be way more specific(which version, baseband, have you flashed something recently, have you tried rebooting, do you have 3g signal in your area etc...?). 3G Data Connection works for my and I never had any problems with it. And, nobody else reported problems with it.

Thanks to everyone for the answers. After a whole day of restoring stuff and more I'm back on the original error, which I can copy. After the very cute drawing box with ErikMod RC2 HardCore I get the following:

Now I'm thinking about installing it via the internal sd card, maybe will fix it?

Thanks again.

PD: I am using FeaMod Recovery v.1.2 Based on CWM v5.0.2.7

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] am2013:
Hi all,

I did test some JB ROMs and had problems with 720p recording and playback. The video is stuttering and has dropped frames.

CM10: 720p stuttering/dropepd frames

RemICS-JB: stuttering/dropepd frames

Helly Bean: stuttering/dropepd frames

MIUI-JB brad heffernan (mackay kernel): video working without glitches!

CM9.1: video working without glitches!

I would like to use CM10 or CM10.1 but need 720p working without dropped frames. Can anyone provide information what is causing the stuttering? Is it due to the different kernel or due to some libs?

Currently I'm using CM9.1.

I've found this patch: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30619870&postcount=755

I did a md5sum on the files and it looks like the MIUI-JB is using the same files as in that patch.

Why aren't these files also included into CM10 by default? The md5sums of the CM10.1 files are completly different. Is 720p recording working without issues in CM10.1? What is the exact difference in the patched libs from the ones provided by CM10?

Could the patched files be used with CM10 or CM10.1?

Thanx in advance,

am2013

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkun:
I recently upgraded to the Verizon's Galaxy Note II, but I'd still like to flash the newer 4.2.1 roms on my Fascinate. I have a backup Cyanogenmod 10 rom that works fine, but I recently flashed JTs Cyanogenmod 10.1 rom, and I was wondering if there was a way to get it working without reactivating my Fascinate. I encountered a bunch of com.android.phone force closes upon flashing, so I deleted the phone.apk and that problem went away, however, I have been noticing a bunch of android.process.media force closes when using some apps (like Camera, Gallery, Play Store, , and certain Settings options force close with the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

tl;dr I'm getting android.process.media force closes in some apps and occasional force closes within settings with a message saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

Is this a pointless effort? Should I just give up and go back to my previous backup or maybe a wifi-only rom like Geewiz? Thanks in advance, guys.

EDIT: Nevermind. I just had to extract the rom, delete phone.apk, re-zip it, then flash the rom for it to work fine. Awesome!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb91:
Hi there,

this is my first android device. I've noticed in the settings, under "Accounts", you can activate "Sync" for various Apps, for example WhatsApp, Facebook, and all the Google services (Google Drive, Gmail, Photos, ...)

I don't really understand what this does. For example i can activate to "sync" my WhatsApp contacts, and then it does that every couple of minutes, but what does this even do? Or what does it do when i sync Facebook?

Does anyone know that?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmorand:
Examples:

Contacts keeps your contacts on your phone up to date with your google contacts if you were to check them via a web browser.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb91:
I still dont get it. Whats the sync for things like facebook or gmail or whatsapp for example?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmorand:
Gmail would always pull down the latest emails and give you a notification when you get a new email
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Just look up the definition of Synchronization
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
This.

Sync makes your phone periodically match it's data for certain services- Facebook, contacts, calendar, pictures, etc. - to the database for that service. Its name implies exactly what it is.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
Sync takes data from your phone and sends it to your online accounts like facebook and if you change data on facebook it will update the data on your phone to match your online account.

So I'm shopping around for all things cases, docks, etc. I stumbled upon this bad boy and thought it looked slick. I heard that aluminum backed cases can mess with your radios, WiFi and cell, is this true? Would it have any impact on the phone?

Okay let's think of it as an scenario...hmmmm oh! Think of a satellite signal and satellite dish (cable) now that the satellite signal hits your dish with quite the best precision you get signal:). Now your phone does both(sends the signal in which corresponds with the tower and outputs the data back at exponential speeds:P) so if I had to guess......yeaaaah I think it may effect it.:thumbup:

Edit: whoa that's a beautiful case!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
Lol thanks for the explanation. I figured it would. Looks pretty dope though I want it. How bad do ya think it would be for the phone? like terrible signals or a just a dropped call here and there?

Does anyone know of something similar to this that wouldn't mess with it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shryvone21:
It shouldn't mess with it to bad and an example to backup my reason it the iPhone 3g that had an aluminum strip around it ha so it shouldn't effect it to much my friend.

Sadly, no. Shipping on this thing is wack. Hopefully soon though. As soon as it comes in I will report in here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KungPow90:
Finally, it arrived. I'm liking it. It gives a slim sleek profile to the phone. Very minimal bulk to it. The brushed aluminum back has a nice feel to it. Something I've noticed in the five minutes that its been on my phone is the plastic around the metal is just that. Plastic. Ick. Some people might like it but personally, I don't. Something to keep in mind. Another thing I've noticed is the aluminum is seemingly glued on to the plastic. Don't get me wrong here though, very sturdy and isn't coming off but it isn't a seamless integration. The cut outs for the buttons and speaker are a smudgeon off, a slight bit up on the phone. That's minor and just my OCD kicking in, everything is fully functional and usable though.

Rating: 8/10 You get what you pay for, and perhaps a little more.

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Although, obviously, I agree that loading up any device to the very brim with crap, I hardly believe that the developers in here (who are much more experienced, I assume, than you and me combined) haven't looked at that aspect as well. I myself have a spartan desktop (no icons, no widgets), but even then I sense some lag here and there.

It's device-specific to boot, so I think -- speaking generally -- it's a bit too easy to tell people to throw their widgets and icons off the homescreen and TADAAA... the lag is gone. I think it is more complicated. I'm happy it works for you, though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
There a lot less developers on here than you think, take a look at some of the questions that are asked, its not hard to tell most people on here are not developers (also why this is posted in the "general" section). I agree that while we each have the same hardware, not all hardware is equal, manufacturing isnt perfect, no doubt, not all cpus of the same model get the same performance. Also, take a look at some of the homescreens, etc, that are posted, and its somewhat obvious that most people do not have a spartan setup. While I am not suggesting people throw everything away, something simple like cleaning the hell out of your system can make a significant difference, more so than what a general user would expect. This advice is obviously NOT for developers who know their stuff lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I believe your user experience input is a good thing!

Most Androidians myself as well are not the all knowing developer types.

What I see most is folks just wanting basic info to reach a fully functioning comfort level.

When someone like yourself can speak in simple terms and offer a boot up all the better!

The Infinity forum is one of the best.

There are some great folks in here!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I hope I have articulated this reply a bit better (and nicer) than my first one. It was running late ( deep into the night already) after a pretty busy day, and I still had a lot of stuff to do. Not good for my energy level and state of mind, LOL. I apologize if you felt crossed, or if I hit a nerve. That was never my intention.

I fully agree, but I wasn't referring to them and their own devices -- rather, it's them who develop the ROMs we are running, and they are doing pretty amazing stuff eliminating lag at its basis. Keeping a system clean is the cherry on that cake.

That was exactly my point regarding the effect being device-specific -- both in regards to the origin of the lag and the solution to that nasty issue.

You formulated that quite nicely. I am a bit surprised that some people can actually get their 700 to boot up with all the crap. ;)

As Thats_OK said, I, too, are thankful you're speaking up, and give the newbies to Android in general and the ones in here specifically a pointer. I only deplored the fact that you didn't hit oil, or a gold vein, in terms of solving lags. And I just wanted to point out -- just to clarify my point regarding the devs coming into to play here -- that, as long as you pick a solid custom ROM, you already get a tweaked system that is less sensitivie to lag out of the box, and that a large proportion of that lag is hardware-based, and is here to stay (unfortunately).
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
I f I got a euro for every idiot that keeps his/her desktop absolutely loaded with rubbish, and then complains about lag, I'd be in the Quote 500.

Regardless of the OS, the more crap you have running and deposited on your desktop, the slower it becomes.

Every single fancy Widget, Launcher, Overlay, LWP, App, Shortcut or bloody Popup slows your system down.

No developer can defend him/herself and their ROM against idiots who think it's a good idea to put their entire app drawer on their homescreens along with half a dozen sticky notes and some funny clocks and other random crap. You can release the cleanest ROM you can think of, but if an ignorant user puts a hundred apps on the homescreen and runs a heavy Live Wallpaper, it'll lag.

People also need to learn to shut down useless processes. Pressing the home key whilst in a game shuts it down on a phone, it DOESN'T do so on a tablet. At least, not this one. It keeps running. It does on occasion help to go into Settings-->Apps-->Running and kill all remaining games, apps and junk. And then going into Cached Processes (top right), and doing the same thing again. A cached game still uses part of the system.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Just to play devils advocate here, one of the big "pluses" of Android is the fact that it has widgets! Personally, I have 3 home screens and probably a total of about 10 widgets total. But, there is no way in hell that I'm going to dump these widgets as they are *extremely* useful and one of the reasons that I switched to Android in the first place! :)

That being said, my system runs perfectly on CleanROM using the *stock* kernel. I used to run Clemsyns' kernel, but with the latest version of CleanROM, I've found that the stock kernel actually seems to run better (and also allows unlimited email sync, which for some strange reason, goes away with Cleamsyn kernel)... Even the animations seem smoother on the stock kernel now...

I also use an app called WidgetLocker, which allows you to place widgets on the lock screen, so that my lock screen looks like this (excuse the crude editing to protect the innocent!):

View attachment 1597790

With this, a simple press of the power button (or moving my bluetooth mouse when at work) gives me *tons* of useful information *very* quickly! I couldn't live without it at this point (my main home screen is similar, but different).

I guess I'm just trying to say that if you are going to abandon widgets and homescreen, etc - then you just lost a *big* benefit of Android!

You *can* still use widgets (even a lot of them) and multiple home screen and still get great performance. I don't want new users to get the wrong idea from this thread!

Also, I *never* manually stop any processes and never have a problem... Again, you shouldn't have to worry about killing processes to get a good-running system.

Just my two cents!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I think jtrosky is right, and this occurred to me last night when going over the post after having replied: essentially, we're talking about usability. Optimizing that should mean to strike a balance between raw power (i.e., absence of lag, amongst other criteria) and the added bonus of having information at your proverbial fingertips. It's very inefficient if you have to enter a specific application every time you need that little scrap of information (whether that is a weather forecast or an e-mail header or something).
