Hi.

This is my first venture into cyanogenmod territory and I must say, I like what i see so far... Great work with this rom dude, keep it up!

There are two things that i have noticed after using this ROM for a couple of days:

1: My message notifications have stopped working, I don't get the LED notification light coming up anymore (it was working yesterday morning and then in the afternoon it stopped working)

2: I keep getting "the system UI has stopped working" error. I have googled this and i didn't see any solutions. This seems to be intermittent but it is disconcerting to know that the underlying system is unstable....

Any (helpful) comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
There's literally thousands of reasons you might be getting these problems. But it sounds to me like you haven't wiped properly before isntalling the ROM and are having conflicts.

Follow the instructions on my website to install properly and those issues should go away.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
i had problems with systemui force closes on slim bean. redownload then full wipe INCLUDING SYSTEM! this is important :P then you should be all goods :) after you wipe and flash
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mjr_havoc:
Thanks naathaanb96

I did the three wipes before loading this rom (data/factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe). how do i do a system wipe?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
Go to mount and storage in recovery then choose system then format.;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
what giro said :) but if you can try redownloading the rom pref from a pc. i know downloading on my phone can sometimes not complete fully. download on pc then transfer using usb cable. do the wipes you did plus a system wipe and your good to go :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I think I'm gonna ditch the OTAs in the next build and stick to manual downloads. Too many people aren't taking the required steps when installing and then having issues. This goes for all devices. not just SGS3.

I'll figure something out so we can still have a notification though, but it will prompt you to download on the website rather than Over the air.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
No problem mate! Do what is best for the community...:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pyromatic18:
I must say out of all the roms I've tried this one has been the best! Perfect balance between power and battery life as promised and haven't looked back since! Great work Sentinel!

Just coming from darky ROM. So far so good, but a few questions. The slide in keyboard is not working! Doesn't type anything! It is enabled in settings/ input.

Secondly, how can I add Urdu to the keyboard? It was there in the default Samsung keyboard. I can read Urdu perfectly fine (means all right to left languages are enabled.)

Phone Hangs

It's been 24 hours since I flashed this ROM on my S3 and I've been getting a lot of hangs. The phone freezes all of a sudden and does not respond to anything. When the screen is off it never turns on back, or when I'm middle of something (like browsing) it hangs. The only way out is to hard reboot it.

I've done all the necessary steps (data/factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, system wipe) and flashed the ROM twice, yet the problem persists. Is there something that I missed?

P.S. I had also downloaded the ROM on my PC and then had it transferred to the phone's sdcard via USB.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Are you resorting anything from an old Rom?

I assume you're using my kernel and aren't trying to overclock or undervolt?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeus180:
I was previously using Paranoid Android and I'm not restoring anything from it.

Yes, I'm using your kernel and I haven't made any changes to it.

Is there anything I should try?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mjr_havoc:
Aaaah! Thanks mate. Ive never done a system wipe before.... ive always read about the "triple wipe"...

I have downloaded the ROM from a PC - i always check the md5 before loading it...

I will do that when I get home from work and let you know how it goes...

Thanks all!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'm stumped to be honest!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeus180:
:( I'll give it another shot. I'll try downloading it again and re-flash it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
Sorry
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nickytheshaft:
Juste à little request,

Is it possible to have more than 3 lines in the default message app?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeus180:
Oh and just to add to the said problem, there's another issue with the calling. When I call someone, I can't hear a thing of what the other person is talking, but my voice is audible to the person who I've called. The issue just started after I hard rebooted the device a while ago. *sigh*

P.S. Downloading again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
I have just installed the Rom and for some strange reason I seem not to have an internet(data) connection on the phone?

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bong0x00:
call issue is one of the CM problem... you should enable screen lock sound and you should not reboot on silent mode..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
Did you activate your APN settings?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
It's ok now? Restarted phone and my internet connection came back.

call bug is in all cm10.1 roms. enable screen unlock sound so on first boot it plays a sound. after this happens you will hear all callers :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sixedup:
Problems in CM10.1 showing though

Had this ROM on my phone for a few days now, and I'm very impressed with it. However, I ran across a couple of issues that caused me to spend a fair amount of time reinstalling etc, only for me to eventually find out that they're CM10.1 problems (and hence show up in Sentinel too).

So, if you run into problems that following the correct installation instructions don't solve, you might want to check the known issues in CM10.1 over on https://jira.cyanogenmod.org. In my case, both problems - voice dialing on a bluetooth headset, and bluetooth tethering of a device to the phone - appear to be known and long-standing CM10.1 issues.

Sadly, since I used to make use of those features a lot on the stock ROM, I may need to revert to stock again :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Good call and thanks for the link. I'll add that to my FAQ!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
So it seems most people's issues have been solved, so I'm off to bed. catchya all tomorrow.

BTW I've just launched for the SGSII a few hours ago. Feel free to go say hi :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
I have this problem plus I'm unable to recieve.incoming calls, the persons phone that calls me rings like normal and my phone doesn't do anything doesnt ring, I've reflashed about 3 times it.works fine then randomally a few days later the issue starts again?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Are you with Vodafone or Optus? lol

Serously though, I'm not sure what might be causing that? Does the caller get directed straight to voicemail?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
I'm with vodafone and the phone rings like.normal. but on my phone it doesn't show any incoming call at all? It's really weird, using.stock kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK so if it rings like normal then it's not a carrier issue.....

It's just bizzare that it stops working after a period of time... You aren't getting any crashing services that you're aware of?

Anyway I really need to get some sleep, but i'll have a think about it and let you know if I can come up with any suggestions for you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
No fc's, my phone is the I9300t so I use a I9300t modem+ril .. could that be it. But I dont understand how after a few days the issue just randomly starts occuring. Anyway get some sleep buddy, appreciate the help!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Well using a different modem would explain why no-one else has reported the issue I guess.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blunatic:
which modem are recommended with this ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Undgrand:
Id like to know that too

Currently i am on XXDLI8

No problems so far. Living in germany. :beer:;)

I'll try a fresh download with a clean install and use the latest I9300 modem+ril and see if that fixes the issue will report back :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
I'm using the latest i9300T modem and ril as that's my model of phone and I'm with Kogan.(Telstra Network) I have the latest one. Which one is your modem number
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sixedup:
My understanding is that CM10.1 now uses open source RIL's. From what I've read it seems that you do NOT want to install the Samsung RILs over the top of the RILs that a CM10.1 based ROM has installed. So, as the modems are generally packaged with Samsung RIL's the order of installation matters - the best way to do this is to flash your modem/RIL combination to get your modem firmware of choice, and then install your CM10.1 ROM (ie Sentinel), which will overwrite the Samsung based RILs with the open source ones that it needs to access the modem firmware.

If you've already installed Sentinel, and want to update the modem firmware, then you need to flash *just* the modem.bin into the modem partition, and NOT update the RILs that live in the system partition. This will require that you look to tools like Mobile Odin etc, and opening up the normal modem/RIL packages to get the actual firmware.

Hope that helps

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

It's not quite this simple. Ideally you would select a modem firmware for your region (and possibly for your operator). This is because the modem firmware may have been optimised to work better with the default cellular frequencies in your region. Similarly, it may have specific customisations to take advantage of features of your operators network (or I suppose, even fixes for known network issues?)

When I updated mine, I went with the latest modem code for the UK, where I live. There was some confusion whether that should be I9300XXEMB6, or I9300XXEMC2 ... I tried both, and both seemed to work, but XXEMB6 was the one with the latest release date, so in the end I went with that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
I too have the same phone (I9300T). Can you point me in the direction of the modem you are using naathaan?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
I9300TDUEMB1 modem and ril zip from flashable modem and ril section :) I'd give you a link but I'm in class
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blunatic:
What is ril? Do I need this with modem ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Don't worry about the above discussion. they are talking about using the ROM with a different model phone. The required modem for i9300 is included in the ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
So is there any need then [MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION] to flash the Telstra modem and ril? I mean I am using what was packaged with the ROM and its fine. Are there any advantages flashing the above?

OFF toipic - I know
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
No. Not unless you have an i9300T.

This ROM is intended for i9300 ONLY. I am not offering any support for i9300T.

Guy's please stop posting about i9300T in this thread. You're confusing everyone and my inbox is getting smashed with people who have installed it mistakenly and are now having problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
if your using a i9300T model with telstra or vodafone then yes flash that modem and ril because its optimized for there 850hz or mhz whatever they call it network
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pRo_lama:
I think that in version v4.40 (Samsung S3) doen't work deepsleep or something like that. My fully charged battery goes from 100% to 91% over night. It can not be from any apps that I'm using because I used the same apps on every ROM and only in this ROM I have this problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Have you done a completely clean install with system and data wipe. that's always the first thing to try if you're having problems. Then restore one thign at a time until the problem comes back (if at all).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pRo_lama:
Yes, I did full wipe (data, cache, dalvik) and then I used Titanium to restore backup.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Do the same again, but with a system partition wipe too, and dont restore titanium backup. See if the problem still occurs before restoring your titanium backup. My guess is it's probably something that's being restored that's causing your issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hdaackda:
How can I get the language URDU in the default keyboard? it's not listed in languages (many others are but mine) :(

You should see two icons on the lockscreen. One for each user. Just tap the user you wish to use, then unlock.

Broken LEAP support for WiFi

Argh. Title says it all. This time not so much a CM10.1 bug, as a problem in the underlying Android 4.2.2 code from Google, who appear to have regressed the wpa_supplicant code in 4.2.2. See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40023 for more background.

I love this ROM, but I am hitting so many problems that have surfaced in either 4.2.2 and/or CM10.1 ... the old Samsung stock 4.1.2 ROM is actually starting to look really attractive :(

In a terminal window or ADB, you’ll need to obtain SuperUser/root access. This is generally done by typing in su. After obtaining SuperUser access, type in:

pm get-max-users

This should return the numeric result of “1,” which is the maximum number that the current OS is set up accept. If it returns an error, then your ROM is most likely unable to handle multiple users.

Next, you’ll need to change that number to something higher. In the following, I chose to set it to eight users because I felt like it.

Now type in:

setprop fw.max_users 8

pm create-user usernameyouwanthere

(source: http://www.pocketables.com/2013/03/...d-10-1-and-some-other-android-4-2-2-roms.html)

Edit: Ok, found a way to add to the lockscreen the switch user thing that should pop up when multiuser enabled. But cant make head or tails...

MODDING

framework-res.apk >

\res\values\integers.xml (change to max users limit. 2 is enough IMHO, but i made it 3 just for fun)

Quote:

<integer name="config_multiuserMaximumUsers">3</integer>

\res\values\bools.xml (basically Tablet is in landscape thus user switching only visible in landscape in LockScreen. at least in current CM10.1 rom to date)

Quote:

<bool name="config_enableLockScreenRotation">true</bool>

To make user switching visible in portrait LockScreen mode, manual layout modding is needed.

\res\layout-port\keyguard_host_view.xml (add this line before second </FrameLayout> to make more layout customization possible)

Quote:

<include layout="@layout/keyguard_multi_user_selector" />

ADD \res\layout-port\keyguard_multi_user_selector.xml manually to customize the user switch location in portrait LockScreen.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
There's no "easy" way to do it mate.

The first option looks like the easiest, bit still requires some work.

To modify apk files, you need APKTOOL and some basic terminal command knowledge. There's plenty of guides here on XDA that can help. Just search google for "Modifying framework-res.apk".

Sorry but I can't really offer much more help than that as it's not a feature I currently support on phones.

One of the reasons this ROM is so fast and stable is becasue I remain aligned with CM and AOSP ethos and don't hack too much stuff.

The unstable ROMs are the ones that include all these kinds of thigns.

It's a trade-off either way, but people who are willing to sacrifice speed, stability and battery life for hacks and features are often better off using a different ROM.

I would hate to see people go, but I'm not prepared to advertise SentinelROM as something it isn't.

My philosophy is that people can modify the ROM for their personal use however they like, but it's impossible for me to honor every single feature request, and still provide a fast, stable and efficient ROM.

I hope this makes sense.

To enable multi-user, you can use the commands in my post above or simpler still, the app: 4.2 Multiuser Enabler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwib3JnLnNmZXJhZGV2Lm11bHRpcGxldXNlciJd

Now enable lockscreen rotation (so that multi-user selection is visible). 1 way to do it is in terminal (after having su), type: setprop lockscreen.rot_override true
