[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hello, guys

APN crashes because you installed the update_aosp.zip addon which rewrites Settings.apk and SystemUI.apk along with adding ThemeChooser.apk and ThemeManager.apk to the System/app folder. It crashes because it depends on Phone.apk which was not built to work with this environment (and probably will never be).

As outerh3aven said, this is meant to be AOSP, not CM9, so the addons are a privilege, not a must, and they are not a priority when it comes to fixing. I too want the customization options of CM9 and the smoothness of this stock ROM, but let's not forget what is the target here: AOSP, not CM9! :) Anyway, I hope we'll find a way to have both. :P But don't push it, guys.

I would suggest to apply the fix I posted on page 9 of this thread (it will revert all changes to stock aosp) and if you installed a theme, it will be considered the default one, and you will not be able to change it (for now). But it will fix your APN issue.

I'm still thinking of a workaround to have both the stock ROM with the extremely pleasant smoothness and speed and also the possibility to install/manage themes. I'll update the post as soon as I find the way to accomplish that. :)

UPDATE:

For themes management and installation capabilities, there is an app (which I believe was used when making CM9 default themes changing feature): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5qcnVtbXkubGlzdC50bW9iaWxlLnRoZW1lcyJd

You can install that.

You will also need to flash this .zip in order to actually work properly since apparently it depends on ThemeChooser.apk and ThemeManager.apk.

So in a nutshell, you will have to do this:

1. Make sure you reverted to stock AOSP by flashing this zip: here

2. Install the dependencies for the Theme Chooser Themes app by flashing this zip: here (you might already have them if you installed the original update_aosp.zip) For this case, you can reboot after the first step and skip to step 4. Or if you're not sure, you can flash it anyways. It won't harm your device in any way since it will just rewrite those dependencies.

3. Reboot

4. Download and install Theme Chooser Themes app from Google Play Store: here

5. Now you can download and apply themes using Theme Chooser Themes app. :)

Note that, at least in my case, I had to reboot my phone after applying each new theme because some of the theme's components were not visible/probably not applied.

For as far as I could see, you can also search for themes to apply using that app, so I guess that's pretty cool. :) Probably most of the CM9 themes will work, but I didn't try them all, so there is no guarantee about this.

This is, so far, the best workaround for having both speed and theme customization in this ROM and also, no bugs, well except for that Picasa Photos potential bug about which I still don't have an answer from you guys. So, can you sync and "unsync" Picasa Photos from Accounts & Sync section? Will the thumbnails in your Gallery disappear if you uncheck that checkbox for Google/Picasa Photos? Can anyone confirm this, please?

Best regards,

Radu

Re: [ROM][ICS][IMM76L]AOSP 4.0.4 Stock Alpha (Build 2) - High Performance/Great Batte

As far as I know. AOKP roms are originated from cyanogenmod. Is that true?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dewadg:
I dunno exactly. But AOKP has more customization than CM. If you want more experience in custom rom, AOKP is the choice
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Kreaz:
Actually, AOKP is a pure, AOSP-based ROM. But because we are lack of AOSP (the time of the first AOKP, CM9-based is released) so we had to use CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] :
It would be great if the AOKP will based on pure AOSP and use CastagnaIT kernel or Arcos stock kernel. I have random reboot with dewadg and yoon kernel too :S, but its just a suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] lacoska:
oh yes, you will create a rom AOKP?????? thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
I would like the kernel currently used in this ROM. Or at least, the option to flash it separately. I didn't like dewadg's kernel. It might be ok on other devices, but it made my phone laggy.

Maybe I will try CastagnaIT's kernel too and see how it performs. Anyway...if using a custom kernel, such as dewadg's kernel, but you have no way of changing the governors (because the Settings are not configured to allow that), those options will be pretty much lost.

Man, where are you from? You asked if this ROM did NOT use arco's kernel. And I told you that it DOES use arco's kernel. :)) Glad you like that kernel too. So, if I counted right, there are 3 people (including myself) who would like arco's kernel in the next version. Maybe there are more but they didn't express their wish.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Well, I tested that governor in dewadg's kernel. And I was NOT impressed. But quite the opposite, actually. I didn't like it. So, personally, I wouldn't recommend it for this phone. Maybe on other phones it works better, but for this one...not so much. Arco's kernel proved itself to be a lot faster than anything else I've tested so far.

Hi. I'm trying other kernels on this aosp. If I want to come back to the stock kernel of this aosp, do I find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2009692 the kernel I need?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
I'm not sure that's the one. The one you need is "2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod arco@tuxbox #1". So, the easiest and also the best way, would be to backup the whole ROM using CWM (nandroid backup), try that kernel (although, I wouldn't recommend dewadg's and CastagnaIT's kernels since I personally had some problems using them on this phone) and then you can always restore the previous version of your ROM, including the default kernel, also from CWM. :) Better be safe than sorry.

take whoever's flashable zip for kernel then change the boot.img inside the flashable zip with your desired boot.img

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
I did that before... Didn't end up well.:) I got into bootloop. So...I'm not trying that anymore until I find out exactly what do I have to do to make it work.

UPDATE:

For the ones of you who wanted to try out other kernels and then come back to the original one:

After a day and a half full of researching+coding+rebooting+flashing+bootlooping+frustration (cause it didn't work from the first time)+restoring the previous version of my ROM, I finally managed to make a flashable zip containing the original kernel of this ROM (the one made by arco68). I tried it on my phone and yes, it finally worked.

BUT, I would still strongly advise you to make a FULL backup of your phone before flashing this kernel (using CWM) , just in case something goes wrong and you want to go back to the previous state.

Better be safe than sorry! :)

Installation steps:

1. Download the kernel (of course) from: here.

2. Put it on your sdcard or External MicroSD Card

3. Reboot into Recovery (I used CWM 6 for this but it would probably work with any other recovery, probably not with the stock one though :P)

4. Flash the zip file

5. Wipe Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache

6. Fix Permissions

7. Reboot system

8. Enjoy.

Also, please, let me know if it did work or not (one or two replies would be enough, no need to spam) so that I know it's working properly.

Where is the update... can't wait for the next release :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nahrizulashraf:
if arco updates the lastes cm9, will this affect the aosp build too? any updates will be implemented? or they are not related at all? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
I believe the only common thing between 4.0.4 AOSP and 4.0.4 CM9 is the kernel, which is the kernel used in CM9. But otherwise, they are not related at all.

About updates, they will be probably some minor updates but again, this has nothing to do with arco's updates on CM9.

Thank you, lorenzo82. :)

If you want to try the new 3.0 Kernel (extracted from CM9 RC4), please, see the steps below. And yes, the camera issues seem to be fixed. :D

Installation steps:

1. Download the kernel (of course) from: here.

2. Put it on your sdcard or External MicroSD Card

3. Reboot into Recovery (I used CWM 6 for this but it would probably work with any other recovery, probably not with the stock one though :P)

4. Flash the zip file

5. Wipe Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache

6. Fix Permissions

7. Reboot system

8. Enjoy.

As usual, I would like your feedback on this. If the installation worked smoothly or not and stuff like that.

Always make a full backup before installing a new kernel. Just in case. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nahrizulashraf:
has anyone tested this rom with the latest arco's 3.0 kernel on cm9?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Of course I did! You think I posted this kernel without testing it on this ROM? :P I didn't test it on CM9 since I don't use it anymore but I sure did test it on this one.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
It's ok. In my tests it was smooth (in my honest opinion, not very different from the 2.6 kernel). But give it a try and see for yourself. :) Don't forget to make a full backup before flashing the new kernel. Just in case you want to revert. Of course, you could just flash again the old kernel that I posted in this thread, but making a full backup of your system it's never too much to consider just to be on the safe side. :)

Well... then what's keeping you from doing it? Just download it and try it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] farizzed:
Re: [ROM][ICS][IMM76L]AOSP 4.0.4 Stock Alpha (Build 2) - High Performance/Great Batte

Ok I tried it. It really smooth even smoother than dewadg kernel. Maybe because the project butter? And the camera works fine with recording 720p. A recommended kernel for the next release :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Re: [ROM][ICS][IMM76L]AOSP 4.0.4 Stock Alpha (Build 2) - High Performance/Great Batte

For as far as I know, Project Butter applies to JB only. This is ICS. But probably it's the optimizations inside the ones that make the OS run so smoothly. I don't know. So far, I like it and yeah, I would also suggest using this one instead, although, as I said, I didn't find very much of a difference in terms of speed between 2.6 and 3.0.

And about dewadg's kernel, with absolutely no reason or intention to offend anyone, I wouldn't recommend it for this phone anyway. But I guess that's just me.

Hey radu, I've tried the arco's 3.0 kernel. I've experienced that I cannot connect the Mass USB Storage to my PC. Have you encountered the same problem? Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hey farizzed

Unfortunately yes... I did not notice this issue until today because I usually transfer my files from the computer via wifi but yes, the connection doesn't get engaged. After a lot of waiting, it gets back to "Turn on USB storage". Let's see if the CM9 users are having the same issue. In my opinion, they should have the same problem since it's exactly the same kernel.

I'll come back on this post and update it when I get new information.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hello all

So...turns out it's not a bug in CM9, nor in the 3.0 kernel. It's not a bug, it's just a "feature".

It's probably just the fact that the new kernel uses other partition mapping (swaps internalSD to ExternalSD) which, since we are using it in an AOSP ROM, makes the actual external SD card (the partition that needs to be mounted to be recognized by the Computer), the internal SDcard and so the feature to turn on mass storage fails to run under this configuration. I'm looking for a way to change it back to the previous setting so that everything should be back to normal and the mass storage feature option operational again.

I'll keep you posted. :)

Sorry for asking a silly question. Do I have to wipe data if I am coming from CM9 to this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Yes, it would be highly recommended. Also, you might want to format /system too. :)

Or, maybe it would be easier to just follow the tutorial below:

Enter CWM and:

clear data (factory reset)

clear dalvik cache (under "advanced" menu)

go back one step and under "mounts & storage menu -> select "format /system" option. This step is crucial for a clean install!! Especially when changing Android versions.

under the same menu, go ahead and format /sdcard. (Be careful NOT to format /external_sd !)

go back and flash this ROM ("install zip from sdcard"/external_sd)

flash ICS Gapps from this thread the same way.

reboot and enjoy. :)

Oh, and by the way...no question is silly. :P

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dhada:
what is the difference of AOSP 4.0.4 IMM76L to CM9 Rc 7? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
This is pure AOSP, meaning it's as close as you can get to Google stock ROM (the ROM that Google installs on its Nexus devices).

CM9 is a customized ROM, also based on Google's sources.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dhada:
Now i get it tnx for the answer :good: Also where can i get ICS Recovery? Can i use CWM? to flash this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Yes, you can. :)

Just make sure you format /data (factory reset), dalvik cache, /system and /sdcard before flashing. :)

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

You need to edit the vold.fstab file from /system/etc folder and swap the things in red between them (meaning, what's written in red for internal sdcard, should be written for external sdcard, and vice-versa):

And just so that you don't get confused, you might also swap the labels (marked in blue below) using the same method.

# internal sdcard
dev_mount [COLOR="blue"]sdcard[/COLOR] /mnt/[COLOR="red"]sdcard[/COLOR] 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1

# externel sdcard
dev_mount [COLOR="blue"]external_sd[/COLOR] /mnt/[COLOR="red"]external_sd[/COLOR] auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2

You better make a flashable zip with the new vold.fstab file and flash it from CWM.

Also, it would be wise to make another one with the original file just in case you want to swap them back again.

And of course, ALWAYS make a nandroid backup of your ROM before attempting any changes to the system.

Bluetooth Issue

hi everyone

thanks to developer for this great rom.i flashed this rom to my friend's phone few weeks ago

everything work fine until today,the phone keeps reboot whenever i turn on or off bluetooth

tried to clear data (in setting-app),clear cache,clear dalvik,fix permission (in recovery) but nothing work

any fix or suggestion?

thanks :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Not sure what you did but this never happened to me before.

Yeah, there is a fix for it.

First try this: enter CWM and select "clear data (factory reset)".

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you're gonna need a full pristine reinstall of this ROM by following the tutorial below (all the steps are mandatory!).

Enter CWM and:

select "clear data (factory reset)"

go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!

under the same menu, format /sdcard (be careful NOT to format /external_sd by mistake)

install the ROM (from the external sd)

install the correct Gapps (from the external sd)

reboot your phone
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Linuxslate:
Thanks for this tutorial.

A couple of notes:

Wow !! That's a lot of extra steps for you Windows users. Mac and Linux users start at step 11 (but if you are a Mac or Linux user, you already knew that. :p )

Linux: If the device still does not show up in Step 11, post, and I can help (Hint: It may not be /just/ the udev stuff.)

Is step 13 necessary? adb remount works on mine. (not sure if I had to adb root first or not) but I can have a root shell via adb without psnueter.

If adb remount succeeds, skip step 14, and continue with the 3rd line of step 15.
