Hold the presses, it was premature of me to say nothing's wrong. After almost a yr on CM10.1 with 0 issues, after changing LCD screen now I too have the dreaded white screen. I'm convinced it's not software related but hardware. I'm wondering if the LCD connection on mobo might have some dust affecting performance. I plan on taking phone apart later and checking. I say this because last yr I bought a high end graphics card and it was causing minor issue and couldn't over clock. Actually, had to slightly under clock to get it to work without issues. Mfg support wasn't able to help pin down issue. It wasn't until I took system apart cleaned and reseated that all problems went away.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ward0:
Sorry to say it like this but its "good" that someone coming from a non WS problem has WS problems .. if you understand what i mean ( i hope you do ) , i'm hoping that your solution can sort out the problem for many people. I'm not scared to open a phone so i can follow your steps complety if it worked for you. I'm hoping your going to inform the people in this forum if it worked out for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
I opened the phone again, cleaned everything reseated everything, and WS again. Tried few different builds here, the Omnirom, CM11, same thing. Someone mentioned fridge, didn't try. Reinstalled nandroid from GB days and WS is gone, used Holo launcher and my son is happy. I'm just frustrated because it's clearly a hardware/software combo issue. Mates at Orange service mentioned non original LCDs will lead to WS and actually, even brand new units have a different LCD that leads to WS in JB+. I'm going to try to get my hands on an original LCD screen to test then I'll report.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pcgaldo:
Yes. For me WS only appears when the phone is hot. I explained it before. In summer is an annoying problem. In winter only appears during charge, intense GPS use or connecting Wi-Fi AP.

If you are Brazilian, you'll have a big problem to keep the phone cold.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
My phone has been exposed in direct sun lights at ~35 degrees Celsius (air tempreture, the phone itself was probably way hotter), no white screen
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pgcristyan:
TheWisp, could it be possible that the white screen issue is caused by a certain baseband? I myself never experienced WS, but i did experience a certain amount of lag when running your latest cm11 build on the initial baseband of my stock rom (i think it was S6500DXXMD1, not sure).

After a while, i reverted back to stock but i installed a rom that had S6500DXXLD3 baseband, and when i tried cm11 again, it worked flawlessly, almost no lag, and it was the same build as before, 11.01.2014. Only problem was that i had certain visual artifacts which i didn't have before,but i saw that you had them too, and you provided the solution of disabling the rendering of dirty regions. Now i have a fluid, stable cm11.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] CoX26:
By now , I am pretty sure the WS are hardware related , based on what jj92942000 said (he had no WS , after changing display he had WS) , I got my phone in november 2012 and I've never had any WS issues ... I think the newer made sgm2's have a different display which causes the WS's
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Mdetring:
I dont think so cause I bought my phone in 7/8/2012 but when I looked at the battery it was made in 5/6/2012 (maybe it toke some time to the phone to be assembled and shipped to Egypt) so I dont think so I think samsung puts the screen display according to what they were given (if a company sell it to them) idk what are samsung exactly doing :confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] CoX26:
But do you have white screen bug ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pcgaldo:
I have WS issue, always using S6500DXXLD3 baseband. :o

It looks like a hardware issue. We have different displays. Somebody wrote about it some months ago, I think there are some pictures too.

For me and all those people who are experimenting WS I think there's something in new kernel versions causing the problem with our display. As TheWhisp said: display drivers problem.

But TheWhisp haven't got the problematic display on his device. So he can't help us...

I also have a question about display drivers: are they open sourced or perhaps binary blobs? There's any chance to patch it if someone with kernel programming skills have a device with WS display?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Mdetring:
Yes I have the ws bug
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
Mates .. it's a hardware/software issue with WS. I never had it until the Mini 2 was washed. Fortunately, it was off battery totally drains. After a few days in ride, it booted up same CM10.1 no WS. But the LCD was partially cracked hairline cracks. Visually not appealing. I changed out LCD physically myself. The printed circuit board looked different between the 2. Same software, worked before same setup, boom WS. Back to rooted stock GB no choice. Son is happy but it bugs me from a tech point of view. Would like to solve it,

Could it be MDNIE settings in kernel? touch boost? swappiness? grasping for straws.

Seriously, before I felt others who had WS issue had something wrong in how they managed roms, mods, etc. Now it's clearly not the case.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Mine did that too no issues until I swapped LCD screens, same software and setup and boom, WS. Issue is, how could you or other devs fix it if you don't have the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ward0:
You have an official replacement screen? or a china one?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
I couldn't tell which is original and which is aftermarket. The latter was also used in newly built units as a 2nd supplier.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ward0:
You told in another comment that the shop told you that they had WS aswell?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
I know some mates that work there that came acrosss this issue but it's off book comment. This was after I bought the LCD aftermarket. I asked if they could swap lcd with original and they couldn't guarantee part would be original cuz they don't know who's sourcing these, it's a disconnect internally.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] oruchreis:
I couldn't find any recovery that can install 07/07 rom. I've tried every recovery in there : http://goo.im/devs/thewhisp/jena-recovery . I've also tried 5.0.8.2, but no luck :(

It says like "assert failed: getprop(ro.product.device)="jena"...

...

(Status 7)

Installation aborted."

Where can I find a recovery to install 07/07 version of 10.1 rom?

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

I've found my solution. :)

I've looked at web archive of jena-recovery repository with this link: http://web.archive.org/web/20131009165704/http://goo.im/devs/thewhisp/jena-recovery

As you see, in 9 Oct 2013, there are more recoveries. I've searched "cwm-6.0.2.8-jena-build-1.tar.md5" that is first option in there, and I've found this: http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/26465349/file.html and http://www.4shared.com/file/3b9B70pz/cwm-6028-jena-build-1tar.htm

The cwm 6.0.2.8 version can install 07/07 version without a problem.

Until the famous white screen problem is fixed, you should store this recovery and 07/07 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
I was referring to those who say it is a heat problem
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
It's not a heat issue, but could overvolting by the kernel to LCD affect these WS?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ward0:
Maybe its a problem of battery callibration? I callibrated my battery and want to try out CM11 but i don't know how to solve the mount problem ..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] oruchreis:
I don't think overvolting will fix the issue. because when I wait awhile, the screen is working, but after that it displays ws again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
I meant now the kernel might be overvolting to lcd since it soon starts ws .. I know in S3 kernels accompanying app has option to manipulate parameters to lcd screen .. wonder if this woyld be a solution
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] G i:
I totally agree with this statement.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
Hmm this sound like a good idea, at least one worth trying.. +1!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ahmedadd:
nice idea.......

let's deal with it:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
[MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION] .. do you know if Samsung ever made voltage to LCD controllable at the kernel level? This might key to white screen issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
no, it is not overvolted, clocks are the same. As I said, the problem is narrowed to drivers/video/msm
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Sando_Khan:
for The Whisp

And if you know what the problem why not fix it, or why not ask for help in resolving them from other programmers XDA-developers? In Romania 50% of those with acquired two new mini have this problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
Main problem is that devs don't have a phone with this problem to fix ..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Sando_Khan:
Excuse!

This is an embarrassing excuse!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OverkillSRB:
Stop acting like retards. Devs are not working for you so they are not obliged to do anything you may want
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Sando_Khan:
GT-S6500D 30% were white screen problem. It's a serious bug is not a whim of mine! If you do not develop a useful and functional software, and if you are not receptive to the wishes of users, what's the point of this forum?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] CoX26:
I think you got the wrong idea about devs , they are busy people aswell , they have jobs or school or something and they "develop" in their own time , as a hobby ,they don't get paid (most of them , although you can donate if you want..but still not a stable income), they do it because they want to have a better software on their phones and they are so kind as to share it with us aswell , they don't do it for us , they do it for them and share it with us. And I , if I would see this kind of people ( I mean YOU ) using my ROM , i would immediately stop sharing it , so stop whining and also stop spamming ! You should thank TheWhisp for not having to use that disgusting gingerbread with touchwiz , not complain like a little *****. Is really great that TheWhisp chooses to ignore stupid people like you , and as soon as I can I will donate to him for all he does.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
are you some kind of retard? Just get out of here.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Mdetring:
Made 2 photos especially for u Sando_Khan I didnt want to write bad words so did 2 meme comics.

info: I could make tons of meme comics but only added 2 to not be spam.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OverkillSRB:
Not trying to be a policeman here but this in no way contributes to the topic.

I mean imagine if all the posts in this thread were constructive coherent thoughts. Thewhisp's job would be easier and faster with PROPER feedback
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bseos:
i just realised it wont help. It was an app (cant remember name but there are plenty) that stopped your phone from turning off the screen and going into sleep.

It turned out when place the phone to your ear to talk./answer a phone call your screen gets automatically turned off. So as soon as you finish your phone call you cannot end it as your a once again stuck on a white screen. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
Would sending him a newer mini 2 with whitescreen help him?

Because I have two mini's one of which is not being used
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Mdetring:
Dude If I would write smth to him I would insult him badly I thought alot before doing this but decided to do it:p and Sando_Khan why dont you shut up and try to fix the ws yourself if you think we are all useless and the forum is also useless.

Megabumpuk some1 also said that but it would be great if you send him 1 of your devices but the proplem is how can u ship it to Thewhisp u should pm him and find out how can you give the device to him.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
Great idea send TheWhisp a private message offering this ..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ahmedadd:
I am so happy to hear that:D

go ahead man and send the device to TheWhisp:good:

and thx
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
Will do. Just have to figure out this shipping crap. (Our country has this electronics shipping policy and whatnot.)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
Used electronics for service .. should be no issues
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Just because you want to send me a device with WS, doesn't mean it'll get solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
It's not about having it fixed, it's about acknowledging a problem you happened not to observe on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ward0:
+1

Its a good start that a DEV will get the WS problem in his hands ...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
Just a quick update :(. I looked up some of the stuffs in the shipping company I use and apparently shipping a device older than 8 months is illegal due to the fact I may have tampered with it and whatnot. So security reasons. But I will try another shipping company like DHL and see how that works :/
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
The good old postal service with tracking? You can put it in a bubble envelope.

compatability

hey everyone,

sorry to go a little off topic here but have a galaxy mini GT-S6500 that my boss at work gave me in an attempt to help improve the battery life,i have rooted the device and am now looking for a stable rom to flash...and everyone in the forums is praising thewhisp and his CM 10.1,

i tried the link in the first post to download the rom but it has a multitude of choices of 10.1 and being a bit of a noob i am confused as to which one to pick,i tried the one with the highest download rate and it timed out and would not let me download so am looking for your advice on which one would be best...what i need from this rom is...GPS,battery life,ability to call and text and compatability with an app called "crystal ball" which my work use to track the drivers in their vehicles,(or the ability to reinstall this app from titanium backup)...if anyone can help it would be muchos gracias..or if not then maybe point me in the right direction to remove as much bloatwear as possible to help with the battery also...THANK YOU...:laugh:

no spam intended
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OverkillSRB:
Get this one :) cm-10.1-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jenad.zip

Its the latest one and im using it since it came out which is 27th december last year :)

Too bad we dont get any updates for it anymore, but hands down this is the best rom there is for this phone
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] giugiura:
cm-10.1-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jenad.zip this is the last build, its quite stable, battery life is great and didn't had noticeable bugs
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TiTAN-O-One:
Get CM10.1 by bleached. Battery life is good, lasts 2 days on me

Sent from my CyanogenModded Midget 2
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OverkillSRB:
What are the differences between this and bleached?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TiTAN-O-One:
Bleached used 2.6 kernel cos its from GB and its more stable than kernel 3.4

Sent from my CyanogenModded Midget 2
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OverkillSRB:
3.4 is PERFECTLY stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Ezzam_Itachi:
Actually , both of this kernels are stable .. But Bleached's version is to fix the White screen issue ..:) CMIIW
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OverkillSRB:
Oh, right, many people got affected with that issue
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mrsim:
cm 10.1

thanks for all the responses guys,can i also ask does the gps work on that rom,as you guys know it's for work and if it is really good then they may want me to flash 40/50 devices with it so i need to be double sure with sugar on top...:good::good::good:

p.s. does anyone know if i can put titanium backup back onto the device after install so i can load that app that needs to stay on the device it's called "crystal ball" kind of like a tracker app...thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TiTAN-O-One:
Im not sure about cos i nvr use it but it should work fine. abt the titanium backup, make sure its not a GB backup cos there are stability issues if you were to recover it to a JB ROM. :)

Guys, thewhisp states that camcorder isnt workiing, is that true? u guys said this kernel is stable?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OverkillSRB:
Nope,camcoder is not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mano2:
I used the GPS for my dog walking and bicycle tracking and it worked 100% fine! I agree about the camcoder. It's broken. For the working camcoder I use the 07/07 improved ROM.

There is no information on how to install on the CM 10.1 Improved 07/07 build page. Do you know how to install it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jj92942000:
Try in exact order

Cache wipe, dalvik, factory reset, format system, cache, data, emmc .. Install rom zip. Test before restoring anything with TB. If persists and different baseband also causes same issue, then start over and install 2nd to last release on download page.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
I'm surprised that peoples whine so much.

TheWhisp, you made amazing job. I told myself that I won't mod phone until warranty ends.. well you made me change my mind, and I'm using your amazing work for few days and I must admit- outstanding work ! I won't change anything now, it's perfect and I don't want to change anything now, even phone. I hope to use it as long as it will just broke or will have 3-4 years.

I have installed cwm and cm 10.1 on newest stock update (MD1), and if someone will install everything for first time like me remember to make wipe data/factory reset ! I almost had heart attack because I didn't made that and phone almost bricked - bootloops, ramdump and some weird glitches once, also couldn't turn phone into cwm. So...

odin > cwm > wipe data/factory reset > cm 10.1 > gapps and everything will be working perfectly.

I think I have the same phone version like yours Whisp, because everything works perfectly and I don't have any white screen glitches like many have.

PLEASE RESPECT THESE PERSON, DON'T WHINE, DON'T BI*** AT HIM, BE THANKFUL FOR F SAKE !
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] giugiura:
why
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
dude, gtfo of this thread and stop trolling
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] AlexVat:
Because you can do it yourself if you really need it that much :laugh:

You have a fully working JB on a low-end device and yet you still need more bloat :silly:

And, as the developer already said it a million times, he makes the ROM for his personal use.

Therefore he doesn't need to explain his decisions to anyone.

Thank you for finally understanding all this and for stop spamming this thread :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
I'm sorry for third message but I have 2 things to ask -

Are CM auto updates working or should I disable them? I heard some time ago that auto updates can cause bootloops when there is any available...

And second thing is sms/mms app, dark theme don't work properly, what I mean, dark theme is only applied in sms pop-up but application is still using light theme. Is these suppose to work like that or is it some kind of bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
Dark theme in SMS/MMS applies only to the Quick Message popup you can enable, not the whole app.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
CM updater is only for official supported devices. You can disable the CMUpdater.apk if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Yuri_PL:
In this case, i think that CMUpdater should be removed from this ROM. Why ship him with something useless? ;)

Hey Buddy, [MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION]

I am amazed on how awesome it is that we all like the way you like your phone ;)

This might not be the right place to post this, but since it is a suggestion what follows (and not a bug), I will proceed:

- Your cm does have all sorts of personalization options, and one that I am pretty sure most would like to have is: Bigger Keyboard Keys Option!

It would facilitate a lot of fat fingers out there!

Thank you so much, and I really hope I didn't come out as judgmental, because it is really just a BIG suggestion :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] OverkillSRB:
Just install go keyboard, its awesome, themable, customizable, full of aditionall goodies
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RedLynx90:
TheWhisp maybe you could solve that problem with the white screen i don't know how you don't have a white screen tell us how you install what stock you used all the stages maybe we install something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
heres the answer :

and the base band is S6500DXXLD3
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] brainscollector:
It was rolled thousands of times...

It seems you have "worse" phone model. It works perfectly on my phone, I bought my phone in shop not in some carrier dealer, branded, full of trash, phone. It can't be fixed, it won't be fixed, it is phone problem not ROM. Deal with it or use cm 10.

hello dev. hows the development of this ROM

and what are you focusing on? :)

just asking :)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RedLynx90:
White screen , when i change the oc to 800 the white screen dissappeared but i don't know how much time is gonna work , when i go back to 1008 or a high frequence the white screen appear i just don't want to go back to stock or a modified stock , the cm looks and works great , i don't want a white screen to ruin my day when i try to use the phone. That problem appeared after the cm20130707 that cm is stable and the camera is partially working after that all cm have that white screen.

USE CM10 !
