Sorry, you are right, I must learn. But I have read everything I could find in the internet. Apparently I know enough to install custom roms. I'm really interested of the subcject, maybe you could direct me to some useful material?

My main goal of the post was to get confirmation that it will do nothing bad if I delete my sd-cards content? (If I save my music, photos, backup etc. to computer first)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
If you already have a backup of your all important content, then I can recomend you repeat the flashing procedure according this guide: [Tip] Going 'Pristine' : What, Why, How
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rixrasta:
Why do I have to make the sd-card into two partions? Will it then show me two different external devices in my computer? (that would be extremely annoying) More importantly I have no idea how its done. Could be easy though.

Does it make a difference if I format the sd-card from CWM or just delete the files in PC or use right click and format in my computer?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
You don't have to make this at all. This part of guide (step 6) is optional for power users which want to replace internal builtin 1.07GB /data partition with bigger dedicated ext2 partition on their external sdcard. More in this thread [ASK] Link2SD for galaxy W - xda-developers. But I don't recommend this for inexperienced user.

It doesn't matter. CWM recovery is quite powerful and you can do all work from it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Just read the first post, please. It has all the info you need. It's a lot shorter and just as effective.

It doesn't really matter where do you format it from. But I would recommend CWM. I've got some issues in the past with External SD Cards not being recognized by Android (so I needed to format them again). So, as I said, just follow all the steps on the first post of this thread. That's all you need to do.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] smartiescoke:
is this some kind of new roms?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Do you have any problems with your current version?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] smartiescoke:
i dont have any problem with it, sorry. it was an amazing roms, :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
The updates that might come in the future, will be mostly bug fixes (if bugs are reported) since the actual CM10.2 development, by the CyanogenMod team, has stopped a while ago. That's why you don't get so many updates. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hey guys

I need someone to test the upcoming version (Alpha 8) of this ROM, since I'm not using this phone anymore. Who's up for it?

Requirements:

1. attention to details

2. someone willing to make a clean, pristine installation of the ROM, by following all the installation steps mentioned on the first page

3. a SD card for creating a nandroid backup

4. about 300MB of free space for downloading a test video (it's one of the reasons for the new version)

Oh, and did I mention 392MB of free user RAM? :) Yeah, that too.

Please, let me know in a post below.

I only need one person.

EDIT: Alpha 8 released. [MENTION=4410351]honeyx[/MENTION], could you also, please, update the first post accordingly? All the info you need can be found on the development thread.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
The browser app freeze and crash when I go to setting/advanced/user agent or set search engine.

The bug occurs always.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
OK...will investigate.

1. Did you make a pristine installation of the ROM (following all the steps on the first page)?

2. I suppose we're talking about Alpha 8 here, right?

Also, can anyone else confirm this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
Yes I have alpha 8 and yes I did a clean installation (wipe data,cache,dalvik cache,format system,format sdcard0)

Now seems that the notification statusbar freeze...

I will try to reinstall the rom without xposed.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ok, I'll investigate on the browser issue. The status bar freeze is a memory issue. It's one of the reasons why, in the past, I had to add 2MB of memory to the system in order to stop this from happening. It's one of the reasons why working with only 512MB of RAM is very hard. That's why I wish people would understand the hardware limitations this phone has and stop asking for more user memory, when there's not enough memory for the system alone to run perfectly.

Also, are you using any tweaks/mods?

For the browser issue, a log would be really appreciated, in order to see what's going on in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
I'm using now exposed,swipe back module,greenify module.

Here's a logcat but I can't reproduce the browser bug now
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
It would be nice to see if this issue occurs with no mods/tweaks. I can't control third party tweaks and I have no idea in which way they can affect the ROM's functionality. So, for this to be a valid bug, it needs to occur on a cleaner system, with no tweaks/mods/custom kernels etc. The reason for that, as I said, is so I can better target the issue in order to think of a possible fix for it.

Also, since you're the only one with this issue so far, I'm gonna need at least another opinion on this behavior before starting to make changes that will affect everyone.

If the bug cannot be reproduced anymore, what's the log for? :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
I don't know :) I just saw many error in the logcat so I posted.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Ooone error at a time, man. :) Focus on one thing. We'll try to fix that thing. Then move on to the others. Trying to fix many things at a time might actually create more bugs than fixes. And, some of the errors you see in the log, don't actually affect the ROM's functionality. So let's focus on the ones that do.

By the way, have you noticed the low battery having an impact on the statusbar freezing issue? Do you remember your approximate battery level at the time you encountered that issue? By the way, I remember encountering this issue, pretty randomly, with older ROMs like CM9 and CM10, as well. That's doesn't make it better, I know, but I'm just saying this is not something specific to this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
Well, I remember that when I have checked the battery it was around at 70 %.

BTW, I have reinstalled the rom in pristine way with gapps and until now the bug is gone if returns I tell you later:good:

Edit:: now I think that maybe the cause of these strange issues was that when I installed the rom for the first time I have accindentally flashed the kk gapps and after for repair I have flashed over the core gapps 4.3 by Banks.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Topic updated :)

@ Redwraith96: your issues appear to be indeed caused by xposed. I´m using it too on my S3mini and it causes me also some minor issues like sometimes freezing messengers or even reboots. I figured this is due to some wrong data being written into the caches, but this issues are happening once every few weeks, so this is still acceptable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hey, honeyx

Good to talk to you again after such a long time. :) By the way, the Gapps have also been updated (20140726). So if you could include those as well, I will owe you a beer/coffee/tap water or whatever you might like to drink. :P

Thanks, man. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
No problem mate, will update this too. Coffee is my friend today :) Had an awful night. Couldn´t get asleep. Everytime I almost was sleeping I woke up. It was like something was flickering in my head. So now drinking a lot of coffee and taking some pills against my headaches ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Coffee actually helps me with the headaches... As for sleep issues...I don't have them. I sleep like a baby. I don't even dream (or remember what I dream anyway). But one thing that created me sleep issues in the past (besides bad thoughts and tough times in my life) was actually Pepsi/Coca-Cola. So...if that's on your menu every day, you might want to try something else. Might help you with the sleep issues. And interestingly enough, I can sleep with no issues if I drink coffee (even if it's in the evening), but there were some times when I couldn't sleep well because I had a lot of Pepsi in the evening.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
Hi, are you just using another phone as your daily primary device, or you haven't Samsung Galaxy W at all?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hi. I'm using SGS4 Mini as my daily driver. I don't have the Galaxy W anymore. I'm doing this for you. :)

And as you could probably see, I'm still active here, even if not so much lately. But I'm active here instead of the SGS4 Mini forum.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
I see and I very appreciate it. But how can you develop ROM without real device is beyond my mind - and your ROM is even very good and successful :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
The secret is in the pie. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:
And how's that device? I'm kind of suspicious towards Samsung "Minis" of flagships, but I might be surprised. :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Well. I got a freeze after trying to close an app. Im was at the recents page, stucked. But now its okay after a force restart.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Which app and how did you try to close it?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
The app is not really intensive. Just an Online shopping app - Carousell.

As usual when trying to close the app, i hold the home button, swipe the app away and it froze after the app had disappeared from swiping. Its difficult to explain really, hope you understand :D

EDIT: Hmm, nevermind this issue, i'll continue trying to get a freeze and then provide logcat :)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Okay, I believe this is a proper issue. YouTube kept Force Closing despite wiping cache, data and do uninstall and reinstalling of app...(picture quality is from my backup phone which has 3mp camera fixed focus. =°=
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Which gapps did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
I have ICS Gapps on my sdcard. So i thought why not flash that and then update it via Play Store.

Sent from my S800 China Phone
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Why not use the right Gapps?

For as far as I know, but I might be wrong, the libs are different. And can also be the reason why you got that issue. So, please, don't experiment stuff you shouldn't and then complain about the ROM's functionality. That's why I posted a specific set of Gapps and I didn't just say choose whichever Gapps you want. YouTube app is a third party app. Chances for it to create a ROM issue, are not impossible to achieve, but they are pretty slim.

So, before reporting a bug, please, make sure that you respected everything is requested on the first post. Also make sure you've got no mods/kernel tweaks or other kinds of system tweaks (except for the ones that are already built into CyanogenMod).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Wow a huge post ;) Well I´m not familar with the sacrifices the S3 mini is having against the S3 but in general it´s a good replacement for a SG W. Of course the S4 mini is better compared to the S3 mini but the S3 mini also has it´s benefits. The NovaThor CPU is really very battery friendly even without tweaking the voltages. The same for WiFi. My S3 mini lasts way longer than the SGW would ever do. Not just in standby but also with WIfi all time enabled and also under heavy usage. This all with a 1500mAh battery like the SGW is having. And personally I like the plasic cover because actually my phone already got fallen 3 times from about 2m high on tiles without any demage. Even no scratches though one time it fall flat on the screen and another time right on its edge.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
Freezes are just the same as in arco's CM11. :(

For me freezes happen on Instagram photo uploading and heavy camera usage.

I attached last_kmsg in case anyone knows how to read and take proper data from it:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
Hi Lero,

well, i do not use instagram, but actually i m testing a 390MB kernel built with "Use CMA for PMEM ADSP heap" disabled in config. It dont have freezes and it looks like the kernel is acting more smooth and consistent in a high memory workload, compared to the ones with cma pmem enabled.

If you are going to build a test kernel own your own, i suggest to try disabling cma for pmem too. Maybe it helps.

Another assumption is, that perhaps the systemui or some android processes gets killed. This commit should prevent this: https://github.com/tycoo/samsung-kernel-msm7x30/commit/a36bf53f6d6f97cbc2f3fe1ffcd62a73d74f1c40 Maybe you will give this a try a well.

Dunno know exactly because i am not a experienced developer, just collect the thing together that looks useful to me. ;)

kind regards and i hope you are doing well in the ukraine.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
Thanks for the tip, man... So as far as I understood you're using your kernel with those "CMA..." commits reverted with Arne's latest CM11 (08012014), right?

I'll definitely try the way you said and if it's OK I'll give the feedback in respective threads.

.

Oh, and thanks for wondering... I'm almost fine here in Ukraine. Just kinda fed up by... Well. that's not the time tp spread subjective matters. Just thank you for the support. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
Hi Lero,

no, i didn't revert any commits. Christopher introduced the option to disable cma with this commit: https://github.com/AriesVE-DevCon-T...mmit/7392159300ef7769ac98ec044d574c1cc7bd2a21

I just deselected "Use CMA for PMEM ADSP heap" in my ancora_defconfig.

regards

Hats off, man... Now I see the point! :victory:

freeze

I tried installing the ROM, it installs, but often freezes and restarts, crashes a lot and have problems. followed all the steps of the tutorial and it did not work. please help
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TiTAN-O-One:
Im facing this issue but it doesn't happen quite often with my experience. My phone will become irresponsive suddenly and then the phone freezes, after awhile, it rebooted by itself. Does this got to do with vm.allocating task or panicoom???

hi

how to root it help me still noobs here i already use it it very smooth but i need to root it can u tell me how to root it pls

No need to root, CM is already rooted

how to get super user?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
There's option "Superuser" in the main Setting menu. It is the last but one.

If you use apps that need root access they must require action menu to grant or deny root access.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
I'm afraid, I'm on CM11 right now.

As I remember, superuser built in ROM it self.

I don't know if CM10.2 settings same as CM11.

Go to settings, you'll see # Superuser

Or you can install superSU from playstore
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] CatcheRitto:
will try it

I will soon buy new phone, but I just now installed this version of CM. Thank you , works smooth :)

tethering not working

Hi all,

I ve installed cm10.2 alpha 9, and now I cannot have wifi tethering working. I tried iswat, foxfi, jtether and other apps, no luck.

Can you help?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Clean install following all the steps on the first page?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] johnnyontheweb:
Yes, I followed all the steps from the previous page.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Do you get an error or something when trying to create a new tethering AP? Did it work with other ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] johnnyontheweb:
No error at all. Unfortunately, I didn't tried with other ROMs because the phone had the original rom with no root and the service provider didn't allow for that.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
That's exactly why I asked if it ever worked with other ROMs so far. Cause if there is a carrier restriction, I'm not sure the ROM can help you in any way. You can try another sim (with tethering support) or another ROM. I kinda doubt that no one tried tethering with this ROM so far. I don't remember having this issue reported before. But I might be wrong. So just keep in mind that there might not be a workaround for this, if the carrier doesn't allow for the service to run in the first place. And also, if this is the case, it's not a ROM issue.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] johnnyontheweb:
This is not the point: I used a SIM in which I can do the tethering (and anyway, with stock ROMs the tethering is limited but with root I can overcome this limit). The wifi is working but my PC is saying "No internet connection"; I tried with an IPTABLES script I found over the Internet for CM 10 but nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Kocess:
[MENTION=4022876]arsradu[/MENTION] I love this rom, but sometime my phone is frezze when lock the screen :( can you fix it please?

Feedback, bugs, features

Hello there,

first of all thank you for developing this. I've been using this ROM for an year now, it is fairly stable. Just couple of things.

BUG (please confirm it)

After a full disk encryption the data connection does not work anymore. It took me a lot of time to understand that this was the problem, but I've twice reinstalled the ROM and just after the FDE the mobile data would stop working

USB OTG

Tested with a Y otg cable and both keyboard and external usb work just like a charm.

Is an early state of this rom, but is there only one alternative kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
For now, i think yes, it's the only one.

If the time allows it, I'll try to upgrade my cm10.2 kernel and post it here.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jananan:
hi guys,

anyone here not able to use the zoom function in the default camera app of cm 10.2 build 3 :confused:

camera operates fine except for the green tinted preview, saved results are fine as well. its just the zoom function does nothing.

also had the same issue with cm 10.1 build 8 by arco.

both were pristine installs after a full wipe and no other apps installed.

if this works for everyone else, i might have a different camera hardware revision... no biggie :o

PS : both cm 10.2 build 3 and arco's cm10.1 build 8 were run using the bundled original kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] K&Q:
Hey.. Zoom only works when the picture quality is less than 5mp. U can find that option in settings :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jananan:
how stupid of me...

thanks for the tip.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Don't worry. This is how you learn. The thing is that this is stupid anyway. You should be able to zoom-in, no matter what resolution is set for the camera. And if I'm not mistaken, this doesn't work on 4MP either. So it's not just for the maximum resolution. Anyway...I'm tired of talking about that...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Hey, guys

So kernel 3.4.60 is up and ready for testing.

You can get it from here.

Installation steps:

1. flash the kernel via CWM

2. wipe cache partition

3. wipe dalvik cache

4. reboot and enjoy

Please, note that I couldn't test this since I'm not using CM10.2 anymore. But I did my best for everything to be ok. So, please, make a nandroid backup before installing this kernel and if you can, come back with feedback on its functionality.

Thank you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] K&Q:
yeah thats true:) there isnt a 4mp option. just 5mp>3mp etc haha. but i remember that it has to be set to 3mp or lower for zoom to be enabled:)

Thanks man, i flashed it and it works fine ;)

Quick out topic question: I play game with a fully charged battery for 10 min, then it suddenly shut down / turn off the phone. When I restart/reboot my phone, the battery indicate I have 8% left. This happen often, does this mean it's time to change a new battery(now my battery is 1.5 years old)?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Yes, especially if it's bloated. You can test that by removing the battery and placing it on a perfectly flat surface. If it wobbles, you need to replace it.

I think he said that initially can not deal extensively.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Wow, guys, this is getting really off-topic so let me sum-up things for you, although I wish that David would do that. :)

David is moving to another ROM and he is not going to develop CM10.2 for Ancora anymore. This is also the reason why he cleaned up his old github.

About the future of this ROM..we'll see. :)
