Wait, what? Blind? Show me someone blind who is using a smartphone.

You need a confirmation for what you are doing? Aren´t your eyes enough in telling you what you are doing? If so how the heck did you manage to flash a CM ROM on your device? Was there someone next to you holding your hand and confirming you are doing it right?

Well I didn´t use CM10.1 on this phone but used CM9 and CM10 and do not remember about the vibration thing while shuting down the phone. Yes it was there in Samsung ROms but there you also had a sound confirming you, you are starting the phone and a nice animation confirming you, you purchased a Samsung device. This all is also not present in CM, so will you call it also a bug?

Dont get me wrong, but CM isn´t for people whe need to be taken by hand, leaded threough their whole life, told what to do and confirmed whether they made something well or not. It´s for openminded ppl who know what they are doing and decide themselfs about their life.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
I used to think that some things aren't fair as it comes to firmwares, features and even devices.

But later I tried looking at that in a different way: the manufacturer's one.

So currently I'm taking Samsung side:

Why the hell should I waste millions for updating 3 year old device that has brought so little money, in fact? It may be good device in terms of hardware to run even 4.4 smoothly, but I do need to hire good people to make it perfect. I'd better hire them for my flagship devices. I also need to pay hardware manufacturers for their work. And all this just to satisfy approximately 10.000 users, while millions are waiting 4.3 and 4.4 for flagships...

That's rather sad for us, but it is a common way for manufacturer to deal with devices. I bet that Samsung still has the best update policy out of all manufacturers. Not taking Nexus, of course, that recently stopped updates to Galaxy Nexus by the way ... Furthermore, yesterday Samsung stopped bringing 4.4 to Galaxy S4 as it was buggy as hell!

Even more... Apple. People are convinced that Apple is great in bringing the latest to all their devices. But it is wrong. If you ever find yourself at official apple forum, you may notice millions of bug or crash reports of their #7 firmware and requests to bring back old school firmware #6. Mainly because billions devices like iPhone 4, 4S; iPad 2... lost... Wi-Fi connection. Apple knows that. Their policy is not bringing back older firmwares and the only way out is... buying new latest device like iPhone 5, 5S, iPad Air, mini...

It is the way every manufacturer pushes people to new devices with a financial benefit for oneself.

So it is common thing... I say common, not good for users, but a stable tool for manufacturers. And as [MENTION=4410351]honeyx[/MENTION] said, they truly don't give a .... candy on what you may think or ask. They need money for what they do. And they get it more from latest and new sales.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] embabi:
If you are right, so report talk back in CM ROMs and the vibration confirmation in CM 10.1 as bugs and should be removed.

Not all what you see as normal, others see like you. So many opinions could be collected to see the value of what should be and what shouldn't.

I'm not a developer but I know that developers develop ROMs with options needed by users. If they developed ROMs with options not needed by users so no one will use them.

This is my opinion. Take it or Leave it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hey guys

Thanks a lot for your feedback and bug reports. Unfortunately, as I said before (and apparently no one cared about what I said) this will not be fixed. Bug or not, this won't be changed unless CM team changes it. There are things that I can do, and there are things that I can't. This is one of the ones that I can't fix since it's not on my side. So please, do yourselves a favour and stop this discussion since it doesn't help anyone.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
LoL. I for sure will not leave this topic as I´m the starter of it, but if I have to leave, I will also delete the entire topic together with all the discussions. ;)

But well I´m not going to flash CM10.1 now and to report the vibration as a bug, just because you want me to do that.

Your opinion is noted but Radu´s, mine and others opinion is also told to you. So you can argue as much as you want but we agree in this not being a bug. Therefore it will not be listed as a bug. So accept this or leave the discussion and use Samsung´s ROM if that vibration is so important for you.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
For me no vibration at shutdown is a FEATURE of CM not a bug. Thanks for it.

And please end this discussion it ends nowhere.:cool:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] infernoaswen:
Just want to ask, will this phone be getting kit kat update i.e CM11 in the future? I planned to get the nexus 5 because this phone is already too laggy for me with jellybean but with kit kat memory improvements, do you think there will be a major performance improvement? If so then perhaps I dont have to get the nexus 5?

I mean I like what the devs are doing giving us updates on latest rom etc but just the hardware for this phone is not powerful enough I believe, I think major cause is the ram right? Really hate when browsing the web & the phone lags lol. Just want to know from the devs opinion will it be worth waiting for kit kat or should I just jump to nexus 5?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
If you have the money, buy the Nexus 5.

Ancora will probably get 4.4 at some point in the future. But as you said, the hardware is old and even with Google's performance improvements, I don't think it will ever run as smooth as on the Nexus 5, or any other newer hardware. Anyway, if Ancora will get CM11, no one's keeping you from trying it anyway, no matter if you already have a Nexus 5 or not. So, my advice, buy the Nexus if you've got the money for it. Also, just so you know, your question is off-topic for this thread since it doesn't have anything to do with CM10.2.

For future off-topic questions/discussions, please, use the off-topic thread.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] minoriu:
helo 1 question here. what to do if my device cant read my sim card?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Try to clean contacts of sim card.

If that doesn't work try another sim to check if the phone is ok.

If phone is ok, buy or order new sim card.

If phone doesn't work with another sim card, buy new phone.

That would I do.

Alpha 4 released.

[MENTION=4410351]honeyx[/MENTION], could you please, update the links for the new build and for the unofficial Gapps package on the first page? The new Gapps link is here.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madridii:
Thank you Mr. Radu

Is the latest build CM-10.2-RC1?

Thank you again
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Uhmmm...not sure what you mean by RC1. It's long way from being a RC. It's Alpha 4 for now... Maybe I didn't understand your question...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
OP updated with Gaaps and Alpha 4 ;)

Now I need some feedback to update the bug list.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Thank you, honeyx. :)

Well, the fixes I mentioned on the dev thread should be already confirmed, thanks to my little bro Lero. :) But sure, anyone else is welcome to double check and come back with feedback. :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Yes, I trust in Leros skills and findings ;) But you know what works on one device doesn´t have to on another one, so double checking is better to be 100% sure. I also was already to fast in removing some of them from the list in the past, so not I´m going to wait till there are 2 or 3 confirmations.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Sure, no problem. :) In theory there should be no difference between devices since they are all Ancoras. :))) But...yeah, we'll see. :P

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
1. Stop typing in CAPS! It looks like you're yelling at us. And one question mark should be enough for a question as well.

2. The upload speed on mediafire sucks. Big time. That's why I didn't upload on mediafire as well. How about Google Drive? That should be fast. And MEGA is really, really, really fast. But apparently not over there.

Anyway, can someone please, make a mirror on mediafire as well?

is it necessary to upgrade the alpha 3 to alpha 4 by the installation way it mention on the 1st post?

sorry,I just do not know how to use English,actually,I do not yelling.

and people here often use repeated punctuation.this is my first time to say in English.In addition,I know very little about English manners.sorry again.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
No, you can upgrade by simply flashing over your Alpha 3. But in this case do not report any bugs you might run into as a simple upgrade can cause other issues you wouldn´t get by following the installation guide.

It´s up to you how you will install it, but in case you are just doing a dirty upgrade, be fair to take the responsibility for this move.

This is not english manners by worldwide manners ;)

BIG LETTERS or !!! is generally understood as shouthing to someone and being agressive.

.... can mean "nothing to add anymore to the already said" ot "thinking" or "out of ideas".

Just write the way you would like to be talked to and think how you would understand this type of writing.

I can't express myself well with English,and I find it's hard to understand those ROM Installation instructions.

anyway,I have to improve my English:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
1. Following the installation instructions is mandatory for both new installs and upgrades. There is no separate procedure. You can also flash a new version on top of the older one. BUT you're doing it at your own risk! I take no responsibility for messy installation of the ROM. That's why there is an installation procedure. Follow it. If you need to backup contacts, messages and other stuff, use Go Backup Pro. Don't restore app data.

2. Can anyone please, add a mediafire mirror for this guy?

Guys i need some help.

Every thing was working fine till now. Sudenly my phone restarted as i got a message on whatsapp, it keept restaring and restartin so i took the battery off, then it turns on and frezzes in lock screen or home screen and i cant do nothing, just remove the battery. I tryed to wipe chache, cache wiped succesfully. when i try to wipe Dalvik i got this: E: unknown volumefor path [/sd-ext]

I did a clean install as always, installed 5 apps that i need and the new Kernel from Madridii. But all this was 2 hours ago. I was using the phone for 2 hours and everything was ok. But sudenly...

What should i do?

Thanks in advance...

Edit: Down "E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" it says Dalvik wiped and when it turns on it builds all the apps but then on lock or home screen it freezes...

Edit 2: i did a factory reset now and i see that my mac adress has changed, is there anything i can do?

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

I made a clean install again. Formated system, cache, data & sdcard0...

Phone is working, my Mac adresse is back. But now when I connect my USB I don't get the notification that the USB is connected and I can choose between mass storage and media utility...

P.S [MENTION=4022876]arsradu[/MENTION] I was asking just for some help, was not reporting your ROM...

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Did you enable USB debugging?

Also, don't worry about bug reports. That's not the problem. The problem is that those issues that you had were most likely caused by what the custom stuff that you installed on your phone. And I'm not talking about 3rd party apps from Google Play Store. I'm talking about custom kernels, system tweaks and so on so forth. And about asking for help, that's exactly what this section is for. Discussions and bug reports. But discussions too. And I believe I did specify this in my previous post on the development thread. So if it's a discussion related to this ROM but not related to its development, or, if it's about reporting a bug, you can use this section.

The thing is that it's easier to have all such discussions in one place and all dev related discussions in another. It's more organized. That's why I'm insisting so much in using this thread. So that I don't miss issues or bug reports that you people might have.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I´m not sure if Madirdii already released an updated kernel for this ROM, so most likely this happened because you flashed the older kernel on this build.

As far I remember this is normal in CWM about the "E:unknown path.."

Well about the mass storage and the notification I´m quite sure this got removed in the CM sources. On my S3 mini running CM10.2 too there is also no notification and only MTP mode aviable. The mass storage mode isn´t present at all. It´s not supported anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iSplassh:
Thanks guys. Will ask madridi abput the kernel then.

My USB debugging is on [MENTION=4022876]arsradu[/MENTION]. Is there now any other way how to activate the mass storage?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
There is no option to do it separately anymore. But both partitions should be mounted if you've got everything set up properly.

Go to Storage -> Options (left touchkey) -> USB computer connection and make sure you do have MTP or PTP computer connections mode activated. You might also want to try to re-enable them. Also, make sure you do have the USB driver installed on your computer.

Smooth

When flashing Alpha 2, I was like, "Maybe not now", then I tried the Alpha 4 and I was like, "Damn, is this an RC? Smooth as hell :)".

Despite of the poor sharpness when setting a wallpaper, which I know it as a known issue.

Still, I have this sudden Mobile Data drop while downloading from Play Store like in Alpha 2 which doesn't occur in CM 10.1.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
If by poor sharpness you mean low resolution, could you please, make sure that the wallpapers you're trying to apply are in high resolution with an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9 (landscape mode)? For as far as I can remember, this has not been previously reported, so it can't be a "known issue" and honestly I don't think it's an issue at all. But let's make sure. Please, attach a screenshot of your homescreen after applying this wallpaper. Or this one. Also, don't crop them when applying. The default setting in cm10.2 (and thanks God for that!!!) is "full", uncropped. But if you zoom in, it will crop the image and the result will be in lower resolution.

About mobile data drop, could you just make sure you do have a good network coverage? This is a weird one. Also, can anyone else confirm this?

Also, as usual, please, take screenshots and attach them to your bug reports! Especially for the ones that can be checked visually. For this case, I would have really liked to see an example of that poor sharpness wallpaper "known issue".
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I´ve been playing a lot with wallpapers in the past and even pushed some into the CMwallpaper app, but never came across such a known issue about low resolution. Only got some pixelrated when I was using .jpg images, but not with .png ones as this is also used by default in Android.

Fly mode WIFI issue

Hey,

first wanna say: Great Rom! Thanks for alpha 4. It's Battery and handling smooth.

Don't know if this can anybody confirm: When I switch to fly mode for a long time, for example over night and switching back to normal mode, the wifi still is off. I have to turn on it manually. When I switch to fly mode for a short time, all is fine. Wifi turn on automaticly.

In alpha 3 I use madridii kernel, same prob. That's why I think it it's a rom prob.

Is not much important, just want to know if it's known.

freinet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hmmm...ok...are you still using a custom kernel? Also, can anyone else confirm this one? It might be a time-out set for the wifi. Such as "if could not acquire wifi signal for x minutes, turn off wifi". I'm just saying maybe it's a fail safe. Anyway, just out of curiosity, I would like someone else to try the same scenario and report back the result.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] herioeks:
Maybe I'm just seeing things, like the "known issue". I thought I have read it somewhere in here, sorry for that, hehe :) I don't know if the wallpaper turned blurry or it is just my eyes :) I'll try it again soon. Have a nice day :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
Clean installation and no custom kernel installed.

Thanks for answer.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
I don't know what to say man... You're a seer, a true visionary. :)) You see things blurry where no one else does. That's a quality. :)) Well who am I kidding? After two sleepless nights, I see blurry myself too. :))) Joking man. Ok then. "Known issue" solved...I suppose. :))
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
I've experienced that too.

Radu, do you remember a bug with "Airplane mode" on the first steps to release? It was then when WiFi didn't turn on at all after disabling "Airplane". After you've fixed that bug, the exact scenario was applied. I mean WiFi connection resumes after short "Airplane" period and remains off after a long one.

In fact, I think it is useful. I mean maybe it's not the way it should be, but there's a sound explanation indeed. Like I was surfing the net and had to turn on Airplane for more than half an hour. After I turned off "Airplane", I went on my business... with WiFi turned off thus saving my battery juice. :)

So actually we need someone with different devices running CM10.2 to confirm that. [MENTION=4022876]arsradu[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4410351]honeyx[/MENTION]...?

Problem Solved

While I'm on my way home, I thought alot about my findings, and everything is answered. Using default wallpaper has high res, I'm using low res images all this time, except the PNG one which is fine. And about the mobile data drop, I think it's my network provider, or like sir Radu have said. I'll stick with that :)

I'll also add, I like the rom's solid color nad resolution :) Thanks for the answers. Thanks awesome devs!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Lero honestly i don't remember that bug...but that might be because my mind is usually in more than one place at once. :))) So...yeah, I might have missed that. Anyway, if I don't forget about it, I'll try it too on my Serrano and report my findings.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Hm I never used Airplane but can test this on my S3 mini when I´m back home. Just can tell it´s also buggy on the mini as I could read over at the S3 mini forum. But well to call this being buggy is probably not the correct term to be used. There have been made some changes to the Airplane mode in JB 4.3.1 and KitKat so it´s not working exactly the same way like in previous ROMs. If I´m not wrong there was even an article about this on XDA.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hack4er:
hi guys!

anyone experienced "random shutdown while taking picture with flash in low battery?

this bug is well known bug from cm10.1

if your answer yes ı have a idea for fixing that bug ;) :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
I'm listening...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Ok an update about the Airplane Mode and Wifi. This is working on my S3 mini. I went into Airplane Mode with enabled WiFi and left the phone for at least two hours. After turning off Airplane my Wifi got active too.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hack4er:
i looked board ancora(in arch/arm/mach-msm)

and i didnt see any battery limit for camera flash (you can look in github repo)

because of that in low battery we must not able to use flash while taking picture or recording video

and so for fixing random shutdown we must put limit into camera flash

adding some commits (like this https://github.com/sultanxda/sultan-kernel-bruce-linaro3/commit/c96ffed02600ec91b0959bc5dc085eceefb7bab6 ) can fix random shutdown

that is my idea radu

what do you think bro?

with my best regards :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
This got reduced to 1% by CM because many people were complaining this in many stock ROMs to not allow them to shoot photos when the battery is below a certain value. If I´m not wrong on Samsung ROMs this is set to something like 15%.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madridii:
It is not problem of low battery but from the battery its self..

I remember that I have that problem any time not just low battery , when I replaced the battery problem gone ..
