I have question to users, does everyone/some of you observed a little higher heating during battery charging ?

I have feeling like phone is heating a little more after installing cm (no matter if it's used or just lying on table charging)

Also, don't download google maps from play, it will run very very poorly, I have installed last release before new maps design, and it works perfect.

here's xda thread where you can download 6.14.4 version

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43492351&postcount=2

Also another thing I observed is not working build in photo editor, it's not a problem for me because I'm using another app for that, but pictures edited with this build in app, causes glitches. If needed I can upload samples/ss or record video. Previews of filters are glitched, other options seems to somehow work, but after saving changes, saved image is broken/glitched.

(I have found some internet pics that almost look like mentioned glitched images: http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll7hbvQtjW1qav3uso1_500.png / https://static.0x04.com/2013/09/glitched-me2.png )
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RedLynx90:
Same to me, in my opinion the white screen is because of that heat
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
Change max CPU at 800 MHz and white screen bug will dissappear.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Andrespro6:
I think, the white screen bug is related to HW.

Thewhisp and me have HWxx03, and the people who have that bug have HWxx02

Indeed, when the I'm charging the phone the temperature is higher and I mean a lot higher. When my brother had the same phone but with stock rom, his phone wouldn't heat that much. Now I installed cm on his phone and the temperature is higher.

Also, because installed cm on his phone, we cannot be connect to the same network because the connection doesn't work unless me or my brother disables his wi-fi
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Well I don't know why Samsung set the maximum frequency to 800 MHz for mini 2. Msm7627a originally runs at 1 GHz. The white screen issue comes from updated /drivers/video/msm/ in the kernel. But I don't know what exactly causes it
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
I've also noticed higher than normal temp when charging.

When you say network you refer to same router? If so this is a first.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
I encounter this one, its because of the same MAC address. this is a known bug.

My friend has Mini 2 and CM10.1 latest build as well, cant connect on the same network/router because of the MAC address.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
Try mac address ghost app or search xda how to spoof mac address.

Mac address is device specific not usually rom related.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Yuri_PL:
In us case, it is ROM specific, because driver couldn't read devices MAC, so it using some hard-coded address. Also MAC spoofer doesn't works.

@TheWhisp It is possible to, for example, generate random MAC per device after installation? If it is impossible to read real MAC, that workaround should eliminate problem of two phones in one network.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zalex8:
I have a s6500 nfc based xxlk2, when I install the rom I have the usual problem of the white screen .. can i install the firmware 6500D on the 6500? risk the brick?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
The MAC, address, I think it is stored in the modem, then Samsung RIL reads it from there and exports both BT and Wi-Fi MAC addresses as system properties. The problem is, I think, ath6kl doesn't know how to read it.

Anyway, I can get my real address by using: "getprop ril.wifi_macaddr"

And this address is stored in "/data/.mac.info" (you can check it by doing "cat /data/.mac.info")

The same happens with BT MAC address, it's incorrect. (compare with "getprop ril.bt_macaddr")

I'll try to do some research and maybe I will be able to come up with some hack to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
you mean i just gonna put it in the terminal emulator to temporarily fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
that's not a fix. It's a way to get your real MAC address. As I said, Samsung adds specific code to their ath6kl driver so it can read the MAC address from either modem itself, or from the properties that are exported by Samsung RIL
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chris_b0ss:
changelog ?:D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
ok, so BT address is now correct. But I am not sure from where the Wi-Fi MAC address is taken.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] albysprx:
My friend have this phone and tell me if i install a rom on his phone.. I search the most stable and i found this..

When this problem is fixed? and you say when phone is off and you charging this reboot?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Yuri_PL:
This wouldn't be fixed, because it is normal for CyanogenMod. This mean, that if You connect charger to phone when he is turned off they will just power on and boot system, then they will start charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
when i put this in terminal, "getprop ril.wifi_macaddr"

and put this "getprop ril.bt_macaddr".

its the same. its just the wifi MAC address states normal ones. AB:CD:EF:GH:IJ:6F

on bluetooth. the colon just neglected, ABCDEFGHIJ6E

Edit: same the last digit increase one notch.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Can't you read? I said, those are the REAL hardware addresses. And they are not the same: in my case, Wi-Fi MAC ends with 67, but BT with 66.

If I can find what generates the current - invalid - address, then I can fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] albysprx:
Thanks

But i have cyanogenmod on my l5 and i don't have this problem, charging perfectly when is off...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
LG != Samsung. It can be fixed, but I don't have any idea how to debug it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
saw something on Optimus L9 have (hopelly the same) problem with Mini2 Mac address.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2406614&page=2

and some script on #16 fixed it.

and in post #11 the location of MAC address is quoted,

at phone searching via root explorer i saw it on the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
we have completely different Wi-Fi driver... let's begin with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] giugiura:
Yes, i'm talking about the router. When TheWhisp is gonna release ( if is gonna do it) the two builds ( the one with the camera and the one without it ), I will install the version without the camera and my brother will have the version with the camera. I hope that might solve the network issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
it wont be that way, wifi configuration must have a fix, as the two build will be just show the performance difference between PMEM and ION. the WI-FI wifi be the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] shojib97:
LG l1 ii have Same hardware of our mini 2
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
better don't make a fool of yourself and stop posting in development threads. :)

No offence, just an advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] giugiura:
Damn.. that's not good news man
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
Well... 5:10 h on screen and 33% battery left. I need to get used to everyday charges (on stock there is -10-9% per hour usage so without any problem I could reach 8:30-9h on charging), it seems that animations take a lot of battery ;) I just hope I can reach 7h on screen with it.

Other than that, Stock camera have glitched video recording, but I bought JB+ and I can record videos again (once for a half of year ?)

Also, what's left to fix other than offline charging ? Some peoples have problems with white screen, but I don't think TheWhisp can do anything with that.

I just hope for good optimization and maybe stock camera/stock photo editor fix.

Edit:

I found that video codec is quite bad... YouTube videos are in bad quality, it looks like little mosaic effect/pixelating on them. Low quality = more pixelated hi quality = little less pixelated? Also I noticed that videos I was watching online now don't work, don't even want to load (unsupported format pop up). So, codecs must be fixed/changed, would you kindly ?

From my observations what I would fix if I could

- video codecs

- camera/editor fix

- wi-fi ?

other than that, awesome job, really good work !

Works fine here. Did you go into system Google untick then re tick to start resync?

Sometimes removing Google account, reboot then add it back restores sync.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
according to psyke

we're using ath6kl driver right?.... so it means getting proper MAC address is not yet applicable.

also

the latest bug on wifi could be fixed by the build #133
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
I know, I have already talked with Psyke. He doesn't doesn't have the suspend issue anymore. We need to build CAF ath6kl-compat driver to fix all Wi-Fi issues. But they have set up the makefiles so it's almost impossible to build the module as standalone.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
Some of peoples from our Polish forum found that it's kernel fault of white screen bugs.

And I would like ask about video codecs, please.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46026304&postcount=96
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
I'm from Poland and i don't have any problems with white screen. It's impossible that it's kernel fault, because less than half CM10.1 users have problems. Someone said here, that CM requires specific brand. That sounds good, but i'm not developer, so i'm not sure. I just say what i saw. For information i have XXLK2 brand.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
Hello, again me, sorry but I want to point things to make this CM the best (only way I can help)...

There are some issues with wi-fi or with tethering, Phone can't be used to gaming via internet. On stock room I'm using it every day to tether wi-fi and play some games, and I have no problems, but on CM it seems do disconnect connection every few seconds for 0,1-0,4 sec, games are unplayable via internet. So I was right when I spotted that things download slower than on stock it easly makes downloads "jumpy" on speeds.

Could it be fixed ?

So what I spotted for now:

- Battery likes to drain in unexpected moment (i have almost clean cm, nothing on wakelock) but it's rare

- video codecs are broken - videos can be played only on low quality because higher resolution makes fps drop, also youtube videos on HQ are like I presended few posts before / many unsupported formats

- camera not fully working, videos are recorded in something like 15-20fps (codecs/decodecs praoblem ?)

- wi-fi connects after 15s, problems with holding connection, worse signal, more battery drain

- I would propose to set default i/o scheduler at noop (bring back smartass ?)

For now That's all what I see

Are those uber expectations ? Most basic things: video, Wi-Fi, camera. It's also not crap - end device. Mini 1 has worse specs but those things are working there, so I don't have hi expectations nor any (because I can't expect anything when I don't give a anything)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
Not sure why you're having so many issues. My 8 yr old son never complains about camera, took hundreds of pics, nor wifi he even plays games online with his friends.

As for codecs, if you install latest bs player you have all the codecs you need. Problem is the gpu/processor is marginal. In GB stock you can't play mkv 720p even mp4 videos, gp3 are grainy. CM you still can't play 720p but you can play 480p which looks great lot like HD on the Mini II. He downloads lots of videos ~24MB size which cannot be played in Stock GB, but now plays fantastic. Try tubemate to download YouTube and test. I can get bs player to stream 720p video a from my network but it's processor limited, xvid plays fine. On stock GB none played.

I'm overjoyed with this ROM for such low end phone.

You are

CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Galaxy Mini 2

Just installed CM10.1 on jenad. The latest update of CWM I repacked into a .tar and Odin3 tried to flash the meta-inf file... I was scared I had softbricked but since the bootloader was still good no problems. I just took one version earlier, the tar.md5, which just has the .img file and works perfectly. Then I flashed the ROM twice, because I didn't know the button combination to start CWM (thought it was voldown+menu, could be clearer, maybe I can reset the counter?). It's working now. Oh btw you WILL see the exclamation mark during bootup but it is NOT a problem even if you read so somewhere else.

I didn't install google apps because i don't want to use a google account and I want max battery life.

And guess what, apart from the fact that everything runs super smoothly, battery has only gone down 11% in two days, and I've been browsing via WiFi and making pictures with the camera.

The battery usage is:

Android system 38%

Cell standby 29%

Screen 15%

Phone idle 10%

Wi-Fi 5%

Voice calls 3%

Before when I was running stock, I had to recharge every 1-2 days.

TheWisp please keep sharing your work with us and don't let the noobs distract you! Theres only one S6500D and if you read all the info and get yourself familiar with flashing principles (the instructions from thewisp are not allyouneedtoknow guides for beginners) and follow every step carefully there is no way you can mess this up IMHO.

Working: Wifi, Camera, High battery life, everything except offmode charging perhaps

Can't wait for 10.2 to get a working camera, will definitely try it.

TheWisp will be recieving money for a beer soon :) keep embedding that sh*t

Go to CM file browser > settings and find root access. Give application full root access and after that you will be able to browse SD card :)

PS. SD card dir is storage/sdcard01
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zechx:
Thanks for the root tip! I figured out now it changed from stock; /storage/sdcard0 is the builtin and /storage/sdcard0/external_sd no longer points to sdcard1. Navigating to /storage/sdcard1 shows me my files (contacts!). Thanks for the help. I'm gonna try the terminal and maybe fix the symlink. I'll post the commands maybe when it works.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

/storage/sdcard1 is owned by system 0001 and has wrong permissions. I cant move a file from there to internal. The contact importer only looks at storage/sdcard0. I think a symlink from external-sd to /storage/sdcard1 will help Contacts find the vcf file but I can;t figure out the command. Doing ln -sfn /storage/sdcard1 /storage/sdcard0/external_sd as superuser does not work...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
Open terminal and give su access by writing

su

next bind sdcard to folder

mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/ storage/sdcard0/external_sd
