my unprofessional opinion is to blame java lol

does anyone remember if the chris41g version of cm9 beta 1 had the front camera fc issue as well? if it didnt maybe a look at that rom somewhere could help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I use the front facing camera via the CameraZOOM app somewhat regularly and I've never seen a force close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
yep its been in there since the beginning, 8/15 build some guy complained about it. It is the library / hal.

In my opinion something about the exynos exploit fix is adding latency to the whole picture taking... no I don't know why its only a front camera issue..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Does the CameraZOOM app ever pause the screen preview and take an actual picture ?

I noticed that OS Spy never fc's either but it really doesn't actually take a picture it just captures the preview screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Yes, it does.

Can't get that HAL to get past enum_fmt errors, could be a kernel driver issue from ics > jb, no idea. I haven't been able to talk to codeworkx for a few days so no clue on that front.

The good news is... enabling zsl support seemingly cuts down the camera shutter latency and the HAL doesn't error anymore. The hilariously bad part is that the preview doesn't come back until you swap cameras. So I'm going to try to write in a boolean and restart the preview... compiling now.

Oh and the open source hwcomposer is in, in favor of the vendor blob. A few more loose ends to tie up here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Sounds good h.c. been running the latest for the past 3 days. Running smooth. I don't really use the front facing camera. I do the old school turn the phone around and take the pic if need be. Better quality picture anyway. I've been using the tweak pack and gettung some fast battery drain. Thinking its just my battery tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Spin test your battery, I knew mine was bad when I was barely getting 3hrs of screen time.

Only one side of my battery spun too. Really funny.

Yeah I know the front facing camera isn't a real deal breaker for some but if it's something I can fix before I tweak the Rom to death then I'll do my best.

I wanted to get the open source gralloc to work but it won't boot on it. As soon as everything that can be open source is swapped I'll tinker the Rom so the tweak app won't even be needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Sounds good. Yea I know some need it all working but everything does. Just the cam is funny acting. I know in the gingerbread days we could underclock passed 1000 wuth out any issues. Maybe eventually it will happen with asop and jellybean. But if the rom can run just as good without any tweaks that would be incredible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Hak are all the camera changes you're talking about only to the front facing camera? Reducing lag to the main camera would be pretty great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
It doesn't really reduce latency by all that much, like 100ms at BEST.

But as I kept recompiling the app... its a direct hal issue. The only way to get around it was to let it break, and restart the startPreview again... which is working...

I'm compiling the whole rom right now with the boolean fix in it, if that works... I'll submit a commit to cm, as unlikly as it is to get merged atleast it'll be on the review table.

try {
Log.v(TAG, "startPreview");
mCameraDevice.startPreview();
} catch (Throwable ex) {
if (getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.needsSecondChance)) {
if (second_chance < 1) {
second_chance++;
startPreview();
return;
}
}
closeCamera();
throw new RuntimeException("startPreview failed", ex);
}

Basic fix in a nut shell. I'll add in reseting the second_chance int when I know its working as intended.

front facing camera fixed.

Your a beast h.c.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Nice! Does this have tweaks baked in? Should those of us who do a full wipe etc every time they update hold out for tweaks?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Dirty flashing is fine.

I'll bake the tweaks in the next build
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
My phone is a mess. I generally don't bother to update anymore unless there is either a major change or I'm willing to wipe and clean things up a bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Speaking of my phone being a mess...

Does anyone else use ES File Explorer? Since they did that big update, the program can't look at both my internal and external sd card; it only shows internal, even when it says it's looking at the mount point for the external sd. It's bizarre. Does anyone else have this problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Why not use the built in cm file explorer ? I can't help you with their update change, nothings different, /external_sd is the internal mount when you have use internal storage checked under storage options. /sdcard should be the add-on card.

6/18 should have most of the basic tweaks baked in now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
That's the alternative, and it works. I like the ES manager a bit more, but if it can't recognize my storage, then that makes it pretty useless. CM file manager it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vampirefo:
FX File Explorer works just fine for me, I see both internal and external sdcards.

I really like this CM9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
So...how's battery life? Lol sorry I had to!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I used to get 4 to 4 and a half hours of screen time, given a full 24 sometimes 48 hour charge.

I know it don't mean squat now that my phone is pregnant but I get well over 8 hours now without blinking at it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
H.c. , I was using the beta3 version of the tweak app and can't get it to stick. Should I use a different version of the app for it to stick? I set the peg tweak , let it rebuild, then reboot but when I go to the values its back to 200-1200 and not setting on boot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
Anyone been having a problem where when you run out of signal range for a bit , and when you get signal back it shows being connected, and text/phone work just fine but data won't work at all until turning airplane mode on then off.

I have updated prl/profile and tried pretty much every modem from el29 on. It only seems to happen on this Rom and not on others. I'm kinda baffled by it honestly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
You no longer need to use the app anymore with 6/18 or higher.

I haven't made the cpu mhz values stick on boot yet, if you want to change them goto the performance options on the rom and set them there on boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I'm not in an area where that can happen, can you post a full logcat when you get this to happen ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
I will make sure to try and grab one. It is somewhat random though so may take a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Just saw there's a new 6-18 build. Just finished downloading it. Going to load it up later today. Thanks again h.c.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Yes. This is a long standing issue with CM9, going way back to the days of chris41g and the alpha ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I guess it could be the rild daemon was this ever a problem on stock ff18 ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I don't think so, I believe it was limited strictly to AOSP ROMS on ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vampirefo:
What modem is everyone using and how are you updating prl?

Settings>about phone>sprint system just gives me error.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
You can only update PRL on TouchWiz ROMs (make a backup, flash a TouchWiz ROM, update PRL, restore backup)

Team Rejectz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
I use FI27

This is one of the few roms compatible with the TEMP BOOT off emmc to stock FF18 rom, I just tempboot into that anytime i want to update my prl or update my profile after flashing a different modem

http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/2012/08/temporary-stock-ff18-from-emmc.html

its simpler than nandroiding a backup and restore, when you're done you just reboot and get back to cm9 where u left off ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vampirefo:
Thanks a lot this sounds perfect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noc_t:
Do the ice cream sandwich roms get a lot better battery than JB roms?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
Yes they do. For me on stock battery I can take it off the charger at 6am, and with moderate use still be above 50% at 11pm. Can still pull a 20 hour+ cycle with 4 hours screen time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noc_t:
Think I might try it out.. I just switched devices and haven't tried anything but JB roms with Google now off, and have the Seido extended battery and cannot g et a full day with out a charge
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Look back a few pages, I get over 8 hours of screen time on my extended battery

Just remember to put a ics modem, fi27 fl24 etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
The newest update is definitely a daily driver. Everything seems to work and battery life is groovy. Trying out the touch by s4 rom tonight but was getting at least 20+ houts with 2 hours screen time. Im just testing out the new jb Roms but will fa sho be back to cm9 soon. Great job h.c.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
it sucks that JB is such a battery hog. I refuse to downgrade :silly:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duce415:
Ha ha yea. Just all the customizing is cool. Ill be back by the end of the weekend lol..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noc_t:
Well made it the switch today and already notice a considerable better battery performance and my watchESPN app works, so I'm happy

Bluetooth pair

I was trying to pair my phone with a FM transmitter in my car and I keep getting "Incorrect PIN or passcode" error. I do not even get a chance to put a code in. I know CM and AOSP have had problems with BT before, but I never had any issues. Are there any tricks out there?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
A Bluetooth FM transmitter? Interesting.

I've used several different Bluetooth headsets with my phone running this Rom without any problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noc_t:
Yeah I use it to stream music through my car, but it also handles phone calls. I cleared my bluetooth data, but haven't had a chance to test it out yet.

EDIT: I got it working, I guess clearing the data helped
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
Does anyone use the WiFi tether app with this Rom and have any issues? I couldn't get my laptop to find my ssid
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Alright so a few pages ago, the issue of loss of data signal came up and we kinda dropped it. I experience this problem reliably every time I go to the grocery store, which I might do today. Should I try to grab a logcat?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Yeah it used to work for me on older builds. Something must have borked when I updated. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GPadraic:
4g speeds borked?

Does anyone know if the wimax speeds are throttled on this ROM? I know on a lot of custom kernels the wimax gets capped, can anyone confirm if that's the case here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I believe that some people (myself included) report poor wimax speeds on this ROM while others see the speeds that they should. For me, wimax is no better than 3g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
There's something wrong using the lowest recording setting. 720x480 not supported I'll check it when my projector comes in Wednesday
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
I've gotten over 10mbps all over the us, speeds vary by location not kernel here.

Wimax is getting dropped anyways I'm using the 01337 prl for the rest of my service.

If the note 3 comes out soon, I'll probably switch carriers and get sprint to waive the etf
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I got a logcat earlier today of the loss-of-data bug. It's the first logcat I've ever grabbed, so let me know if I did it wrong.

I rebooted before walking into the store which always triggers the data loss, then started up logging. After leaving the store, I opened Spotify and twitter to check for data service, then toggled airplane mode on then off to restore service.

It's kinda long, dunno if that's normal for this sort of file...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Hey guys, I've got a couple questions. First, does the Volume to Wake feature work? I'm on Carbon ROM and it doesn't work too well (only seems to work when plugged into the charger).

Second, can I flash this through my included recovery? I always use Mobile Odin and EL26CWM to flash between JB/ICS/TW ROMs.

I'm asking because my power button went out and I don't wanna be stuck in a permanent bootloop. I'm currently using Gravity Screen On/Off app to wake my phone but it's keeping it awake and causing horrible battery (thus the Volume Rocker to wake question).

I guess I could go into download mode through the current ROM, then Odin EL29 rooted, then Mobile Odin EL26CWM, then boot into recovery through the ROM, but if Volume to Wake doesn't work I'd be back to square one. Thanks in advance

Trolling from my Cricket-flashed Galaxy S2 E4GT using Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
I just tested the Volume to Wake, and had no problems with it. I did go to test it with all the lockscreen types and learned it will only work when you set the volume wake buttons AFTER setting the screen lock type. So if you change the lockscreen type you will have to refresh the "Volume to Wake" check box.

So if you use something like Tasker to change your lockscreen depending on where you are you might have some issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Honestly just dirty flash the rom then reboot recovery into twrp and use all the wipes there.

No need for power button using twrp recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Can you get a longer more complete logcat, that one seems to be missing boot information etc.

My first thoughts seems to be an RIL issue :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Uhhhh maybe. I did that logcat with an app, will have to do some learning to figure out how to get logging info from boot.

/Didn't RTFM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
No problem i use alogcat
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Me too. I rebooted, then started aLogcat, had my signal loss, toggled airplane, got signal back, then saved my log. What would I do differently to grab the boot info?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
You have to start a log through adb to get one from boot. I believe if you Google it, it is easy to find. I'd link but I'm mobile ATM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Yeah it doesn't seem feasible to me that an app would be able to get logs from start up. I'll figure out how to do it from adb later and see if I can grab another log tomorrow-ish.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
im pretty sure if you have terminal installed on your phone and run the logcat from terminal after an error occurs it'll generate a logcat from the bootup point (i think i could be wrong) anyway read my signature there is a line i copy and paste into terminal to run the logcat off the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Lol! That's amazing. Thanks.

gps lost

i was on 4.2.2 and gps was working but dock audio wasnt so i installed this rom and all is well but now i have no gps.

anyone have an idea as to why or how to get it fixed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
I believe you have to install a ROM with working GPS, get GPS locked on then do the procedure of flashing this ROM.it may sound funny but that should work for ya.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knownchild:
Yeah i thought it would be something like that, but figured since i already had gps lock from previous rom it would stick. So i will go back to stock and get a lock, then re flash this rom.

Thanks for your help :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
you can just tempboot to ff18 stock, get gps, then reboot back to cm9 and it should lock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knownchild:
I'm not familiar with that, how is that done? I'm on us cellular by the way, i use these roms and then apply a converter to make it work with uscc; don't think that would make a diff though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Don't use temp boot then
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
You should at least try temp boot, it's great when it works (and I think it will).

These instructions work, ignore the nay sayers in the comments; I did this last week.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knownchild:
Well i went back to stock and got a lock on the gps, then re-flashed this rom and no gps still??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
When you go to stock, you have to have the GPS locked, and reboot to recovery/download while it still has the lock. It's one of those weird peculiar things.

The first time getting the gps lock in CM9 can take a little bit as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Just leave maps up for an hour eventually it works.

Even in temp boot i had to wait 30 minutes for my dad's to work. Had to plug it it use the gps app on the hood of his truck lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
It's amazing how much variation there is between phones. With GPS Status, I can generally get a lock within seconds, sitting inside an apartment building, even on fresh installation. Maps is also quick, less than 30 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knownchild:
Well got it working, what a pain in the A :)

Thanks for the tips guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:

I don't like it either they got rid of the option to keep zoom buttons on the screen. Pinch to zoom is hard to do one handed when driving, I prefer the tap buttons
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
No **** right ? Oh everyone uses a dock when they use gps in a car right /facepalm

However my experience was the screen jittering really bad, and randomly just locking up going to settings, searching, generally anything to do with the app other than watching the screen when it first turns on.:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Agreed. Awful experience on new Maps, it's basically in unusable on my phone. Crashes constantly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hakcenter:
Okay I'm slightly happy it wasn't just my phone.

I feel like downgrading the version if android the rom reports so we don't get it but easier to just remove gmaps from auto update

Also when I reset my phone the storage locations for the camera goes back to it's default, is it possible to change the storage location in the registry?? And how would I do this
