Yes you are right I have the same problem.Movie to watch when you open gallery.

Phone random freezes, and restart.This has happened many times.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
What video format are you trying to open from the Gallery? Did you try with different formats? Is there any difference?

Also, let me get this straight. The phone freezes when you try to open the folder containing the videos or when you try to open one of those videos? Anyway, the question remains.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Previous external sd card films.

Format mp4.

Gallery can't look at the pictures.Phone lock And restart
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
So you're saying that if you've got videos on your external sdcard you can't open up pictures either? That would be interesting... As you probably seen in my screenshots, the image editor works, which means that the images alone can be opened with no problem. Now I don't know about having videos on the sdcard. I'll try to confirm that.

Earlier ROM was a different story so let's not compare the two of them, please. :)

Also, are you sure you made a pristine install exactly as instructed on the OP?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
This movie on the phone before I watched it.

Also I can't look at the pictures.

The gallery as well does not work.

gallery open the picture of phone freezes when you want to look.And restart.

The same thing in others?I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fcaronte:
I made a pristine and when I see 2 video in avi formate I think is the problem I try to convert to mp4 but nothing when open video folder in gallery time to load the anteprime and freeze... But repeat I can read all video from a file explorer

(on cm9 this problem with same file not exist)

this is not abug.

Gapps Does not include GalleryGoogle, meaning no Photosphere-equipped Camera app.

i want to know why? and if we can download gallerygoogle from play store or not.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fcaronte:
Photosphere not support from galaxy w but stock camera and gallery is in the gaps

I want to say 10.1.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
I can see you took the information from cm9. :)

Gallery2.apk (the app responsible for both the Camera and the Gallery) is not present in the Gapps. It's built with the ROM.

Would you mind making a list of all the steps you made before installing this ROM? :)

Short answer would be no. Photosphere needs gyroscope to run, which Ancora doesn't have.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vetfactor:
i am searching themes.

what is the kind of our to best fit our phone.

X=XHDPI, H=HDPI, M=MDPI.;)

to mention

rom similar in shape to CM10.1, better in performance.

temple run2 speedy as hell.

clean install, 150 mb free ram at least.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] :
better use for HDPI i thinks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I bet this is more related to your pictures and movies on your SD Card. Move them all to your PC and delete then on your SDcard. Then take some photos and make some videos with your SGW and see if that happens again.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fcaronte:
I make :

Wipe data

Wipe cache

Advance format system, data, cache, sdcard0

Install rom and gapps

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Were you able to reproduce this issue?:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Not yet, I had no time to flash the ROM till now but for the rest of the week I´m at home because I got a lumbago this morning, so will be able to install and to test it.

Just I had something simmilar happening when flashing CM9 and CM10 forth an back to test my kernels. In CM10 some of the pictures I´ve taken with my SGW while using CM9 got displayed black. This even after deleting the thumbnail cache and rescanning the media.

Got it working finally by moving all my pics to the PC, resizing, renaming and deleting the ones on my SDCard.

However this is not always needed but when someone is changing ROMs and keeping pictures and movies on his SDCard, he should at least delete the thumbnail file so it doesn´t conflict with the new thumbnail file that will be created.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sks93:
The gallery apps freeze and hang after few seconds when u open ur gallery ..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
This does not happen to everyone. I'm still trying to find pattern for this issue so that I can fix it.

So...do you have videos on your sdcard?

If yes, what format?

Is this happening for the internal or external memory?

Did you make a pristine installation of the ROM by following all the steps in the installation procedure posted here ?

Does this happen immediately after a pristine install or after you start restoring apps?

Did you restore anything after that?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sks93:
Yes I do have some mp4 format videos in my external SD card

And yes I'm doing a pristine install.

I'm not sure about that as I'm only start using this ROM after I restore some apps from the backup by the Go Backup & Restore Pro apps.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Could you please, make a pristine install again and don't restore anything? Just for testing... I think there might be something fishy with your backup.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cristianoportela:
just to report a few annoyances with cm 10.2 Alpha (Build 1), probably due lack of update/compatibility with certain apps:

- root uninstaller pro: very often, hangs when you set it to remove some app that you don't want. sometimes, it may even reboot the device. that doesn't happen with cm 10.1. report send already;

- my uninstaller pro: doesn't really hang, but doesn't seems to uninstall anything either. both uninstaller apps tested with things that i really don't like (g+, searh, gmail). root uninstaller is able to remove those without any trouble in cm 10.1;

- kis mobile security 9.10.141: sometimes, doesn't load. big deal, with cm10.1, if you open it (like to update), it hangs when asks the code to unlock the device. this one has an high probability of removal due lack of app update to fix this issues;

about the mod himself, seems pretty nice and those issues seems to be related to lack of compatibility with cm.10.2, not really the mod

by other hand, spirit fm works like an charm. so, even with cm10.2, it's possible have the radio feature back :)

Bug Report

Amazing Work But...

Stuck when open Gallery.

Please Fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Could you try once with no app restore? Just make a pristine install , then freshly download one of the apps from Play Store and try again. As a side note, most of the apps are not yet fully CM10.2 compatible. So expect crashes and/or non functionalities.

Also, please, try to understand that CM10.1 and CM10.2 are different Android versions. So please, stop comparing them. Common issues might be more relevant for debugging than things that worked in CM10.1 and don't work in CM10.2.

Please try to read the few posts above and provide a bit more details. Is any of the cases described above the case for you? Did you make a clean install as instructed? As i said, this is not a common issue. So please, provide as much details as you can if you want this issue to be fixed sooner.

Also, there is a form on the OP. Please, use it to post bug reports. Or use the Bug Reports feature of the forum.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Hey asradu,

I have no problems here. Gallery works fine at moment, no stucking or freezing or something else.

Not tried with mp4 only with pics and video done with phone.

Great job asradu.

Description: I don't know how to explain, please see my screenshot, I've restarted 4 times, problem still here. How could I get rid of it? The ring around the apps, normally it won't be there. Thankyou
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Try to install pristine.

Factory reset

Format system

Format sd-card(internal)

Install Rom and gapps

I habe no Probe with lockscreen.

freinet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cristianoportela:
i didn't restored any app. google play does that by himself. i do know that some apps aren't fully compatible with cm10.2, that was just an advice, not an comparison

oh yes, pristine install, step by step, nothing more, nothing less:

select "wipe 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 CM10.2 (from the external sd)

install Gapps for JB+ (from the external sd)

reboot your phone

clockwork is 6.0.3.8

oh yes, an small issue, maybe mod related:

it's possible drop an shortcut over another one, creating something like showed in the image above. not an big deal, just an small issue, that was supposed to happen in an alpha version and that is the whole reason why someone should report any issue

[]s
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
:) Hello

1. dropping a shortcut over another one is how you create folders in Android since...a long time. :)

2. please, don't bother reporting bugs when you install mods over the clean ROM.

Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zacdroidfan:
Okayy:) I figured it out it's a theme problem, thankyou
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Thanks, freinet.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, the default format for the recorded videos should also be mp4. So...I don't know what exactly is causing this. Can you please try with multiple file formats like avi, 3gp, mp4 etc?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sks93:
Ok thanks i will try again when i got free time. Sorry

And every time the gallery start freezing when its finished loading all the thumbnail of the pic

RESOLVED video bug

I convert all the video to .mp4 and now work well but in CM9 i never hade problem with this video
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
Dear honeyx.

As you say I did.

Movies individual phone throwing it and trial.

Two of the films not read this rom.

Neither external nor internal sd on the floor while could not be read.

Therefore locked up in the gallery.And it won't run freezes.

A film there is no problem mp4 format.Galeri work.

The Problem two movies, hd mp4 format..Them on the phone before I watched it.

Sorry bad english.Google translate-yandex translation........
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I´m sorry but it´s hard to understand. Just it sounds like you fixed it.

Well I finally installed the Alpha 1 and must say I like it a lot. Before installing it I I followed my own whiping orgy ;) which is very similar to the instructions Arsradu gave you all.

Plus I whiped the thumbnail folder in the DCIM folder and what can I say. No problems with pictures and all kind of movies.

I´m having a lot of pictures and movies on my phone. The movies are mp4, avi and wmv. No problem with all of them.

Neither in the stock Gallery nor with Quickpic or MX Player.

Recorded some videos in 720p and also no problems. Just noticed the video is not shown fluent while recording but the recorded file is played totally fluent. I would say even better than with CM10 or CM10.1.

Only kind of videos I do not have on my card are full HD videos.

So everyone who is not doing a full pristine installation and keeping his videos and pictures on your external SD please delete the thumbnail folder so the Gallery can create a new one and this will not conflict with the one from your previous ROM.

And just in case this will not fix it, delete the Android folder on your SDCard too and reboot. This will be recreated as well.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
OK.

I'll try again.

Thanks for your interest
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Nicely done! Keep it up. :)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ali7557:
I'm sorry.Again I tried.

Cm 10.1 Beta 1, I watched videos and movies.

A lot of times I did a clean install.

I cannot watch this rom.

Version: CM10.2 - ALPHA 1

Game: subway surfers

Bugtitle: lags and FC

Description: subway is more than heavy in this rom, slowly responding and some times force close suddenly without any sort of notification you just back to home screen.

regarding rom,

i am sure it will be one of the best if not the best.:fingers-crossed:

very smooth, performing well and battery consumption is very good.:good:

but,

it is unrecognized even as unofficial port at cyan wiki and so

version still unrecognized by CM.org

CM account is not functional

phone neither located nor remotely wiped from CM.org Account.

finally, reverting back to CM10.1 alpha9 or even install beta 1 temporarily waiting future cyan wiki recognized CM10.2 builds which will be of better functionality and performance.

just one happy day with CM10.2.:cowboy:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Ok let me clarify this a bit. Android isn´t Windows and Android is a bit more pitty about the correct formats and codecs. Not only for videos but also for music and even for pictures.

See bjtmosfet´s answer:

In Windows you can for example rename a Avi file with a xvid codec into a Divx file and it will be no problem to be played in a videoplayer, though the codec will not match the filename anymore. You can even rename a BMP picture into JPG and it still will be displayed correctly.

But in Android this is a different story. If the used codec doesn´t match the name of the container filename it will cause errors. The same if it matches the container filename but the codec itself is a modified version which doesn´t match the standards.

Google as the developer for Android already dropped some formats in the past. First they dropped native Divx support when moving from GB to ICS. By launching JB they also dropped support for Flash to switch to mp4 and HTML5.

Now this is JB 4.3.1 and I´m pretty sure they also dropped the support for some non standarized codecs which might be used in some of your videos. And this will be the reason why they still work in CM10.1 but not anymore in this ROM.

And just by the way. Google even dropped the support for animated GIFs when launching ICS. But there is still a solution to get them all played in newer ROM´s like this one. Install QuickPic and use it as your dafault Gallery app. This will even play animated Gifs like in GB. And to watch videos Install MX Player and use it as your default videoplayer.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
As far I remember even all CM´s from Arco weren´t listed there. CM.org is going a very suspected route these days and a lot of good developers already left them for good reason, so I wouldn´t pay much attention to it. I also wouldn´t care a lot about the CM account. For me even Google´s Remote service doesn´t work correctly and can´t localize my Phone, so I´m disabling this unuseful crap that is just draining battery.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hello

This is not a gaming ROM. It's default CM. I'm not responsible for the performance of third party apps or games cause I can't possibly know if they are or aren't optimized to work with this Android version. Also, don't forget that you're running Android 4.3.1 on a 512MB RAM device for which Samsung dropped the support at Android 2.3.6.

So sorry, but, at least for now, I'm not gonna consider tweaking the ROM for gaming. It's still the first Alpha and I plan to make it rock solid first in terms of stability and only after, maybe apply a few tweaks to make it run better. Strangely enough there are people who said this runs as good as CM10.1. So...I'm not quite sure what to believe.

About CM account, can anyone else reproduce this issue?

Try to create a new account and find & wipe your phone from CM site. Don't forget to make a backup beforehand!

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vetfactor:
i don't think so, arco's threads for unofficial ports CM9. 10 and 10.1 were all found in cyan wiki.

and when i frist installed CM10.1 i found that about 42000 or more ancora devices running CMs.

even if the company is going a very suspected route, devs using CM sources and it will be a gain for the company to mention that a legacy device like ancora owned an unofficial port of CM10.2.

locating phone was working with arco's alpha9 using CM.org account.

i am just reverting as CM10.1 is more common, having alot of mods, apps and themes.

also i want to try arco's beta and i love subway surfers.;)

totally i agree with your opinion and i know the device as well as android OS well.

just wondering why to create new account on CM.org while having working one also why temple run2 is running very well and subway lags.

nothing more, also i had reported that the rom is very good.

keep it up friend;)

awesome job. :good:

I download a mp4 and convert it in avi and mpg, copy it to phone external sd.

The Google player of the phone can't play mpg and avi.

But there where no reboots or something else. Everything is fine.

I want to test more, but I don't know where to find little videos in different formats to download easy.

Or is the problem solved with deleting the android folder?

freinet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Thank you! I appreciate it. :)

As I said, this is one more reason why I don't want to start tweaking right now. Because, as I said, there are apps that are not (yet) optimized to work with Android 4.3.1. That's their manufacturer's job to make them run better (if possible). This is why issues like this can't be reported as ROM bugs. Such an issue is not up to me to fix. So reporting it it's pretty much useless. I can consider it as a suggestion for future development and improvement. But this is not a bug of the ROM (at least in my opinion). :)

About CM account, I just considered that maybe most of the people didn't create an account so, in order to test this, they would need to create one. Anyway, I'm looking forward to someone else that can confirm this issue. It's not like it's the biggest bug ever :P. But it's an issue nonetheless and I'm just trying to figure out if it's real or not before starting to look for fixes.

Cheers! :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vetfactor:
understood;)

Cheers:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
If you Google search for "mp4 videos download" for example, you should be able to find a bunch of websites hosting little mp4 files that you can download for testing purposes. Same for the other video formats. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
You are welcome. :) it´s just like said as I remembered, so maybe they are listed now.

Just the problem with this suspected route is they are going to become comercial. This alone is not a really big problem but how they are willing to threat the devs working for them and keeping parts of their work secret. There is more details about this in the off topic thread and really worth reading. Just as a result of this all the free Devs will not get the full source code and for the rest they probably will have to pay.

So at worst you as a dev will have to smash chash on it to be able to build a ROM, spend huors, weeks and months to make it working and only gain some good reputation at best.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Not so easy to find some little videos to download.

Downloaded avi, 3gp, mp4, mpg, webm and ogv. Copy them to the DCIM-Camera Folder at external sd-card.

Only 3gp, mp4 and webm are available and playable in gallery. I don't know if the files are special. PC plays most of it.

I have never fc or reboots or something else.

freinet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ok. So...problem solved?

You need codecs for the other types of files. Android only supports a few of them. That's why they are not visible/payable in Gallery but they are playable on your PC.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Wow, I think we talking past each other:cyclops:

I have no problems with gallery, wrote it #352 I think.

And I am not looking videos on smartphone, so doesn't matter.

I only want to test.

Is problem with gallery solved?(I have never had):angel:

So for me is a great rom...thanks asradu.

[MENTION=4022876]arsradu[/MENTION]

for me the was all playable from es file explorer but gallery freeze phone.... i converted all video and i resolve....i don't know were the bug
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
This is because the file explorer uses a different player but the Gallery uses by default the Google Player which only plays the supported codecs.

I´ve had this once with a file that was downloaded by a 3th app from youtube in CM9. It was a mp4 file but could not be played in the gallery though i was playable by launching it via the file explorer.

The sulution is to install some other players and to bring your Gallery to ask which should be used to play the videos. Then you get a window asking you which one to use and if you want it to just just this time or for ever. Onece you set it to "forever" it will use always the other player.

That´s how I´m finally configuring all my ROMs to play all kind of media and codecs. I suggest the MX Player as default videoplayer and QuickPic to be set as the default Gallery app.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] meroonly1:
UMM ..... well thats explaining alote :D thanks .

and by the way what rom that is the best for the galaxy w ? and what is the rom you prefere ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
I'm not sure there's the best. We all choose one or two that fit our requirements or expectations. And explicitly advertise one at the expense of another is immoral and to some extend disrespectful toward the developer in any way. So I beg a pardon, but I'm not going to advise here as this will have subjective character indeed. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Hey,

first say thanks for great work.

I have some probs with cm version. By Installing some apps after flashing rom, the phone freezes. This happens often. I have to schwitch off phone, by preesing long time powerbutton. It doesn't matter if I install some apps or only one. I try to flash three times, but this prob still exist.

Then there is a problem with folders in trebuchet launcher. The folders I create, are "blown away", if I install an app, or restart the phone. I think that is a general issue in 4.3, because I have same in 4.3 for my tab.

I don't read something about this in the threat, so I post it here.

Edit: Launcher crashes when starting app in a created folder.

freinet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Agree. There is no best ROM or a best kernel. All have their own pros and cons. You need to decide what is best for YOU and which one sweets your needs best.

About Apollo music app. I´m kicking it out of my roms and using ICSMusic app insteed.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Not sure about the freezes but would suggest to go pristine. About the launcher issues, did you already try another launcher like for example Apex or Nova?
