I understand and appreciate it.

For me the GPS was perfect (enough) until i flashed android 4.3.

Maybe this is a hardware problem, i don't know.

If GPS on 3.2.6 still has the "hanging" problem, and i can find the time, i will flash Mackay 2.99 again, and see how GPS is there..

Active display is hard to make a screenshot of, as it happens when the screen is switched off.

It originates from Motorola:

If so, than this isn't going to help me. Getting a fix is no problem.

I am on 3.2.6 and the recents RAM bar shows 11MB free whereas in Settings -> apps -> running shows 50 MB or more.

I am facing lot of FC with this version. For ex., Candy Crush (:D) ran flawlessly when I first flashed the ROM. Now, it FCs very often and I suspect its due to the free RAM.

I am facing a small problem...

After the call the data connection is not activated again automatically..

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Recents rambar shows more processes than Settings>Apps>Running for some reason. I have been doing many things to try and make this equal, but for some reason it won't work that way.

Have you tried killing all background apps from the Recents panel before running a heavy app, to free some RAM before starting the app?

Just tried this myself (also on 3.2.7) - 2G is automatically reconnected after the call is ended...

Anyone else with this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wasimraja_1982:
Yes. I cleared all the background apps before starting a heavy app. But, it still crashes sometimes. The reason I ask is the app ran perfectly well when I opened after flashing the ROM. Now, its acting up.

I haven't faced the 2G data connection issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jv.batista:
I think you should wait for a more stable active display implementation. it crashes the systemui from time to time(at least for me) and I get some weird 'ghosting' when unlocking the phone with active display turned on...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I did not have a single systemUI crash...and I really like the pocket feature. At work, I often take my phone out of my pocket to check for notifications, and now I don't have to turn the screen on :)

Anyway, there is an on/off switch for this feature which disables it completely, so if it is not stable enough, people can get rid of it.

BTW, the ghosting when unlocking the phone is something I noticed in the last 3 or 4 builds, so this seems to be unrelated to Active Display. I haven't found the source of this problem.

active display

Anyway, there is an on/off switch for this feature which disables it completely, so if it is not stable enough, people can get rid of it.

Where and how do I have to act in order to activate deactivate it?. I'm on 3.2.7, and yes there's makay settings, but i don't see how to do it. Could it be relative to the use of Nova
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jv.batista:
I skipped the test builds so i can't be sure but as far as I remember it wasn't present in 3.2.3.

active display is a great feature, don't get me wrong, but everything appears in the 'middle' of the screen and as far as I can tell I think it lights the whole screen.

in another topic, is it possible to add the bigmem option to mackay settings and kernel? and can I remove the mackay settings app since in 3.2.7 it is present in the device settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Settings>Interface>Active display

I think it makes sense to have the basic elements of active display in the middle of the screen. That leaves ROM on the top to show the notification on holding the circle in the middle. Lowering the circle would feel unnatural to me.

I won't add the bigmem option to Mackay Settings. I don't like the different ways this can be implemented in either Semaphore or Devil kernel. Current RAM layout works fine for me and if you want something else you will need another kernel.

The mackay settings link in Settings are a link to the Mackay Settings app. So you can't remove the app without the ROM complaining (same way as it was in the past with Galaxy S settings, which also required AriesParts.apk). You can hide Mackay Settings in the app drawer off course :) But I like it in the app drawer myself, I always open it from there.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jv.batista:
I know, but the clock gets in the way(bellow) of the notification text.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
OK, now I understand. I just disabled the notification text myself for the time being. When I have time, I will look into this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ramsey:
My preference is that it should be in Settings>More since it's part of CM/Android. I couldn't find it the first time I used this ROM because I was not used to it being in Mackay Settings. And I couldn't find Mackay Settings because it was not in the Settings like in AOKP Infamous lol!

Edit: I just noticed that you moved Mackay to Settings, awesome!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Michel38280:
Thanks a lot kasper_h, with the 3.2.7 version I retrieve my data connection :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ramsey:
I figured out what's making the lag in the notification bar pull down. It's that quick access ribbon. I disabled it and it was smooth again, I re-enabled and the lag came back. I really miss the quick access ribbon that was in 4.2 with smaller icons, it was nicer also than this new design that I dislike with big buttons where I have to swipe left and right :/ I prefer not having to swipe.

However, it is a bit smoother now as you said in version 3.2.7 than in 3.2.0, thanks to the CM fixes.

By the way, how do you make the active display show up? I enabled it and set it up with the pocket option and I tried it out with keeping it in my pocket for 10 seconds and I didn't see anything on the screen when I took my phone out.. Am I supposed to leave it longer than a few seconds?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Power widget is the predecessor of the quick settings in notification. This simplified the code. But it is indeed showing things down. But I won't revert to the old buttons, would be to much hassle.

Active display only works if you receive a notification with your phone in your pocket.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jv.batista:
just cover the sensors on the top left corner and you can activate the active display(if the pocket option is enabled)

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9000 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
The phone has a random number generator for security purposes. I added another random number generator to the kernel (frandom). This one is much quicker. 00random is a script to activate frandom. So that also means it can easily be disabled by the user.

Previously, there was an issue with frandom for all apps that needed random numbers, which was solved easily. I don't understand why this problem now exist for Box specifically, may be an app issue. I have several apps that depend on random number generation for secure login, and all of the work fine with 3.2.7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MrOban:
Thank you for your explanations.

Without activated frandom, apps start not as fast as with frandom?

But is the advantage of frandom so large, that it's worth to build a second generator?

Do you recommend to activate it again, when box is fixed?

Questions ....

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9000 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
frandom is very much faster than the usual random number generator. Whether it really is improving real-life behaviour...I don't know. The difficulty is that this is also difficult to establish for single patches. But 10 patches combined which all make the phone a tiny bit smoother together can make a difference...

Problem!

I came from a previous version of Mackay Rom, 4.01 or something. Deleted everything on my SD card, copied both files to SD and started CWM. Resetted to factory default, formatted cache + system. Installed 3.2.8, first came the error. Re-flashed it. It worked. Installed GAPPS. Worked. Rebooted.... stuck at bootscreen (turning blue android puppet) for very long time. Tried to boot to CWM, no succes....

what to do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
Go to download mode and:

-Try to flash the boot.img of Sema_3.1.0 via Heimdall.

- go to recovery via 3 button combo.

- flash the latest CM10.2 nightly

- reboot system

- go to recovery again

- flash Mackay ROM and Gapps .

- reboot system.

I was running Baidu browser and I had only two tabs open and suddenly the phone rebooted itself, I think, :S. All I saw was the Mackay ROM and logo lol. Could it be because I am OC'ed with Live OC 16% ? or is our phone's RAM really too low (which I know it is..)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jv.batista:
now I think that the active display deserves a place in your rom. it felt a little bit out of place in the first appearance...

just two little things left to fix, as far as I can tell:

1st - when checking a notification it goes from active display - black/home screen - lock screen - black/home screen - app that sended out the notification

2nd- sometimes it interrupts the notifications sound

the ghosting its almost gone but taking a screenshot still does not work.

For those having problems with screenshots, please check if the folder /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots is present. This folder is created upon install, but I must admit I deleted it at one point. It does not get automatically recreated, so when the folder is not there, Screenshot will fail. I will look into this, to see whether I can solve it, but I am not a big expert in these things.

To change Settings you can use Mackay Settings included in the ROM, no need for another app. And LiveOC is not supported by my kernel indeed.

I seriously don't like NSTools. If it wasn't buggy, I would like it, but it's very buggy and not updated to fix the errors. I usually use no-fills CPU and I set the option for it to remain after reboot and it works fine for people with AOKP.

I went down to 110% but then I removed Live OC and just went to 1200MHz using performance settings. I am finding 4.3 a bit slower than 4.2.2 that's why I OC'ed, until CM fixes things or I try AOKP (waiting for a stable version).

After few days in aokp i am back to mackay. I like this one more, faster, not lags or problems and good memory management . Just for info I tested GPS also in aokp and it was good, quick fix and keep locked.

For active display, I like it and works good for me,just need to configure as I like. Also for info I use fiops/lulzactive (200-1200)recently and I see very good perfomance, batery seems to be also good .

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gargeya_369:
You have to backup the contacts storage which is present in /data/data/ in there u wil find this folder "com.android.providers.contacts"

Once you have assigned all the photographs for contacts u copy/backup this folder to you a secure location on sd card where u don't delete it...

Or you can backup using titanium backup...

You came from 4.2..so, may be you have formatted the system and data partition...

You have to assign again....

I also faced the problem of low quality images...nothing helped except this process...

Preferable is backing up contacts storage via titanium backup and restoring from this....

In 3.2.7. when waking up the device with middle button or power button, the active display was showing if there were any notifications

In 3.2.8. the active display is showing only in pocket mode. Waking up the device with either middle button or power button takes it to the classic lock screen.

Has the incompatibility in recovery restore between cwm - twrp solved or shall we make new nandroid with twrp?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
2 reasons actually:

-The latest TWRP & CWM do not fit into a single bootimage anymore (maximum size of kernel can be 7.5MB -> with updated TWRP/CWM alone it is already 7.2MB, and latest CWM & TWRP together is 8.3MB - so it is not about a few kB that can be shaved off). So the only way to keep a CWM + TWRP kernel is to stick to the old versions. And I prefer staying up-to-date with recovery.

-Latest CWM has some issues for me that I have been unable to solve (mounting USB in recovery is buggy e.g.).

-I like TWRP more than CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
TWRP can't restore CWM backup, so you will need to create a new backup if you only have CWM backups.

Hi All,

any one can recomment me a step for 4.3 to 4.2.2 thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] idCyber:
If you have another kernel zip on your phone that has CWM recovery, you can always flash it in recovery , reboot to recovery , CWM is present and you can restore your CWM backup. When you want to restore your Mackay backup, you flash Mackay kernel 0.505 and then reboot to recovery and TWRP is back and you can restore Mackay. So recovery type is not an issue at all.
