Missing: Samsung-exclusive tones & wallpapers in CM11.0

I have a Galaxy GT-i8190N aka S III Mini (the NFC-enabled variant).

I'm rather upset at the loss of the Samsung tones (specifically Over The Horizon, Whistle, and Ringing To You) and the alarm tones. They've been replaced by stock tones from Eclair, Froyo & Gingerbread (eww!!)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
Of course. CM isn't a Samsung rom, so what you're expecting!? If you want them, you need to find them & then add them to cm rom. Use XDA search box or google, to learn how. Have fun.

Hello,

I have rooted my S3 mini for the first time a month ago with maclaw CM11, later switched to Carbon rom, and finally came back to CM11 again. Minor bugs i noticed were also noticed by others and were solved in upcoming patches. This bug kept appearing every time i installed a newer version or switched roms. Either this is very common and easy to solve problem (that i'm not familiar with) or its just happening to me for some reason...

Every time when i get new SMS i pull down notification tab, click on the message, open it, read it, sometimes respond to it, than i go back home and the notification still stays as if I never read the message. When i open it again, than it disappears. Or if i swipe it, or click the checkmark (read) it also than disappears.

Maybe this is normal for 4.4 but i never used Nexus phone or any other custom rom, i don't know. I have been using stock Samsung rom for the past year.

Can anyone explain to me where the problem is and how to fix it? Please :fingers-crossed:

Hey [MENTION=3563392]mauam[/MENTION], how about adding the workarounds for clock freeze? Any of those will prevent clock freeze:

Keep the phone pluged on charger/pc

Keep mobile data (3G/2G) on

Keep wifi on

Hi,

just in case anyone can use this info for fixing something:

Had my first clockfreeze ever today, never had it before, been using cm 10.2 by maclaw since last year. currently i'm on the fairly old 20140218 build/TWRP 2.7 by maclaw, AMG4 BB, NoGAPPS.

Thats what i did today, before the clock got stuck:

- Updated afwall to the latest version

- Got a call via SIP (linphone). During that call, linphone crashed. Since then, the phone wasn't able to play any sound (tried with vlc and ringtone chooser), after rebooting, sound was back there.

- changed wifi channel on my router

Then i left my phone unobserved for about an hour. As i came back, the clock were frozen (see the screenshot).

To my surprise, the time was displayed correctly within the clock-app (or however it is called where you get, when you tap on the clock widget on the homescreen).

Don't get me wrong, i'm not asking for help or something, just thought it might be interesting for you guys since i never had a clock freeze before and now, without any updating or changing system apps/settings it appeared on my device. Maybe it has something to do with a dropped wifi- connection thru changing the channel.

Greetings

Backlight Notification

hi,

is it possible to have the backlight buttons stay on ? (like the galaxy S).

On my S3 mini, the buttons stay on just for 3 seconds and turn off.

I try with BLN App but it don't work.

I know it's a battery draining but it's don't matter for me.

(i'm on CM 11 NewMaclaw)

Thanks for help

Battery drain post Maclaw's CM11 update

Hi everyone,

I've been using CM11 from Maclaw's (NovaFusion) and from times to times after updating a new version phone gets really hot and battery drains a lot as soon as I reboot it.

Investigating the output of "top" and other tools I figured out what I believe to be a bug (in CM11 or in our S3 mini port of it). If I have one or more videos recorded from the device itself in the DCIM folder, the Media Provider and the sdcard processes stay running forever in the background after the reboot. The CPU usage stays at 20-25% for each, so half of the CPU power only here.

My guess is that they try to make the thumbnail for the videos but some bug prevent them to finish properly.

I tried many different approaches, deleting thumbnail folders, cleaning mediaprovider data, but really nothing work. The only thing that works is to remove any videos from the DCIM folder, reboot, let mediaprovider finish its work and and put them back after a fresh reboot.

Hope this can help somebody else.

Hello, i'm having some weird issues with the icons on the play store, i'm running:

CM11 4.4.2 NovaFusion version.

When i use the play store the icons colors are random and messy, they look more like some technicolor picasso's paintings than icons.

The same happens with the images of the apps and i don't know how to fix it.

Does anyone else have the same problem?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
That's a known issue. Try the latest CM build or use a older version of play store:)

Hey guys!!! I used rosemary font in cm11 but it doesnt change the font when ios7 flat style theme is used in any way can this be solved???
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
Perhaps is related to this bug. You need to use CM build from 30/6 to avoid theme bugs or don't use xposed framework.

Some month ago I upgraded from CM 10.1 to CM10.2 and ended up to revert back to CM 10.1 because of lack of proper video displaying, especially in youtube (video pixelated, no antialiasing) but I experience daily freeze and reboot.

According to my researches this bug was present on CM 10.2 and CM11 so I was wondering if the latest build of CM 10.2 has fixed video drivers.

I'd like to move to a less buggy CM10.2, could someone confirm that please?

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanhia:
I've got some silly questions and I seem to be super bad with Google searches. I'm thinking of installing CM 10.2 on my S3 mini. What I'm wondering is

1) What happens to my apps and settings, do I need to download&build everything from scratch?

2) Concerning apps still, will I still be able to use apps that I've officially purchased from Google Play?

3) What about apps that I haven't actually purchased from Google Play, but rather unlocked pro/premium features through promotion codes or installed when they were free? Will all of those reset back to their "free" state?

4) I have root access and TWRP, will I be able to restore (pre-CM state) apps into CM from backup after installing CM?

Thanks and sorry. :o
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
1-Everything will be wiped, anyway you can always restore your apps & their settings if you've previously backed up them with (for example) titanium backup (pro) or with other similar apps.

2-Yes, if you use the same account playstore will recognize that you've already purchased them.

3-Don't know, probably yes, same as above.

4-pre CM state, what the F is that!? Yeah, with titanium backup app (pro), I think.

Feel free to ask what you want, but use the XDA search bar. All your questions have been already answered, you just need to stop being lazy:)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanhia:
I'd spent the entire day doing searches on how to root my phone, got all sorts of information in my brain and some of the questions were more confirmatory and leading to to 3&4. My phone isn't in English and I'm not that familiar with the android vocabulary so sometimes I just can't think of specific search terms and honestly just can't find anything. Being tired doesn't help :) Thanks for your help though! Now I've got a fresher brain so lets see if I can now find what I'm looking for a bit easier.

My past otterbox, I cut the film off and just used a different screen protector for that same reason (dust particles). Tough to do to a $60 dollar case.

I personally prefer ballistics cases. Those things will survive a nuclear war
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ac19189:
Yeah I ordered one online for like 42 bucks after the returning customer discount honestly the otterbox felt like it was made out of cheap plastic all the way around it just felt ... well honestly it felt like junk I felt like if I dropped it the thing would just explode into a billion little small parts. The plastic wasnt very hard and would bend under small amounts of pressure the plastic cover felt like a super cheap cover that would be used for a display plastic on a toy box.

I am waiting to get my ballistic case before I review it but from what I have seen from all my past cases from them it will be a much better case. They tend to use hard plastic and gel outside covers for impact. I use to throw around my samsung infuse in its ballistic case just for fun never once did my phone get screwed up it still looks new and the case never opened. Hell half the time I had to just about break the case to open it XD!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Jamio1988:
I actually really like my Defender case. Granted, I have not dropped this beast, but the case (to me anyway) feels like it could take a pretty hard hit.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dave0812:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Jamio1988:
Nope, sadly no belt clip. The other piece functions as a multi-angle viewing stand.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dave0812:
Well that sucks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Jamio1988:
A little bit. Overall though it's a solid case and I'm really happy with it. I'm accustomed to using the bodyglove cases so this thing is like a godsend, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dave0812:
Has anyone seen a good belt clip holster case like the defender. Really don't want this beast in my pocket
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ac19189:
The ballistic maxx has a belt clip

Here is the ballistic maxx case.

I think the case is nice its not as nice as the first ballistic case I got in the sense that the one I had before this was all in one but the case itself feels REALLY durable not cheap by any means its a super snug fit I can barely pull it apart when I am trying... As for the case itself it feels like there is a lot more protection to it than the otter case when I felt them side by side.

The case also comes with a limited lifetime warranty so thats nice they will replace it if a part breaks for free. Also my ballistic case was cheaper than the otter by almost 20 bucks. I got mine for 42 bucks plus free shipping but I also got a ten percent discount being a returning customer its normally 49.99 or something like that will free shipping. Great case if you ask me :P
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dave0812:
Ill check it out. Does the clip feel pretty durable?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ac19189:
Yeah the clip feels like I could hang from it LOL Its rather strong I have never had the clips from my cases break on me when I get ballistic cases at most the turning part of it gets lose but never has it broke on me the only part that has manage to break on me was the clip that holds the phone into the belt clip and thats was because I leaned over my truck bed and put all my weight on it. :P But they replaced the broken part for free all you do is send them a picture of it via email and they ship it the next day.

Edit: The clip does turn full 360 btw and it has little notches every small turn so you can set it to the angle you want and it will hold it. Doesnt spin around free and what not only after HEAVY use does it losen up and spin easyish I know my old clip use to spin a bit but thats because it was on my hip every day all day and moving around so much it use to move around after a while it losen the clip but it still managed to sit the way I wanted it to with no trouble just had a bit of play.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dave0812:
Thanks ill check it out
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ac19189:
Only thing I am not liking about this case is the screen protector its just thick enough that its making the touch screen screwy so I am thinking I will need to buy another screen protector and switch them but the case is nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Jamio1988:
Is the ballistic maxx just a two piece case?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dave0812:
Your talking about the otterbox right? What do u think about the second slide piece?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ac19189:
Well what it is was a screen protector then a gel case u slip on the phone that holds the screen protector on the phone very securely then u have that hard case that slips over the back of the phone once you have the gel case on to give it extra strength once thats all snapped together it doesnt come apart easy and the case is closed then it comes with a belt clip / phone holder that covers the whole front of the screen from impacts when not in use.

Its a very solid case just not liking the screen protector it comes with because its just slightly thick enough to make it hard to use the touch screen so i might get a screen protector to just put over it and not use the one that came with the case everything still fits super snug without it.

No I was talking about the ballistic case biggest reason I didnt go with the otterbox box is because I knew about how solid a ballistic case was and the otterbox felt really cheap so I didnt go with it.

Otterbox vs. ballistic case

I was looking into a otter box defender case myself but no belt clip. otterbox says due to size and weight of the phone that it would snap right off and they have no plans to ever make one.
