Thanks SiliconS! :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Glad you didn't take my comments the wrong way. :) Re-reading them again this morning they could be taken as offensive, and that wasn't my intention, hence the :) .

Well, I dunno. People complain a lot in this forum that it takes ages for the Exec to ring when someone calls them, and people keep missing calls, so anything that delays the phone app (e.g. closing it down manually) would IMHO be a V.Bad Thing. :) I've never had a problem just letting the OS handle it. When I was looking at my task list last night, though, (with 26 tasks running) I had 14MB program memory free, so I'm a long way from running out.

Leaving applications open makes the Universal more responsive and perky, since I don't have to wait for the OS to initialise them every time I want them.

Anyway, your phone, your choice of course. :) I'm just offering an alternative viewpoint since the desire to close apps seems to be just a peace-of-mind thing for the enthusiasts on this forum rather than being driven by any tangible need.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzaslam:
WOW that was fast!! I woke up this morning and this is the last thing I expected :)

I really do feel honoured 8) Best not let it go to my head though!! You also wrote a general cmd line Task Killer, even better I reckon. How long did it take you to knock those up then?

Today is my last day at work, I'm on leave for 3 weeks so will have plenty of time to check out all your smart apps and of course play with my little black beauty :D

No worries :)

I didnt take offence and you made a perfectly legitimate case for leaving the phone app running in the background. I think I will see how long it takes for the phone to respond with the phone app running and without.

It is still VERY useful (using vijay555's apps) to be able to kill tasks as and when you need - because there will come a time when you run low on prog memory. I think especially if you run something like TTN or CP!!

I am surprised that you have 26 apps running comfortably on your EXEC with no performance degradation. Are you sure you havent been slipped a limited edition EXEC with more memory than the rest of us poor souls :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
Just my humble observations, but when I first got my Exec I kept wanting to force close the Phone app, but every time I did it would refuse to reload. A soft reset resulted in the splash screen saying no GSM, so I had to wait for it to reboot, use the phone and then soft reset again to get it working properly. Anyone else found this?

Great tool by the way! :D

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Hey, thanks for all your comments guys. Hope it was useful! Visit my site often for more releases (although not today, or at least so far!)

mzaslam: how long did it take? Um, basic code is used in VJBigPhone to find and modify the phone. Then writing the close code was relatively straightforward. However, debugging, testing and preparing the icon, screenshots, cabs, uploading and preparing webpage all took an hour or two. Got a good telling off from my better half for it! I really need to sleep more...

Findus: I've never had that problem, sorry!

SiliconS: VJBigPhone. I'm quite prepared to step to v1.0 if I can, if there are no issues. No one's mentioned anything bad I think, so I think the core code is safe to stick with. I'm intending to add a phone close option on the tray icon (just in case anyone wants it!) and hopefully one other minor but useful function. Beyond there, hopefully that's v1.0. If I can, I will try to enlarge the caller's photo as requested elsewhere, and if so I will incorporate it as a menu option. (that might be >v1.0)

Finally, I intend to re-address the wireless manager fix, and if it works, I'll reincorporate it as an option on the menu, and also perhaps as a standalone for those who don't need VJBigPhone! Sound ok? Any other ideas for incorporating in? :wink:

How are you guys finding this tool? There's one or two tricks you can pull off with VJTaskKiller, but I shouldn't let you in on how because you could cause some difficulties :wink:

I also did some research on compiling cm and wow it is a lot harder then people think of downloading source and compiling it all together making paths and all this crazy stuff.Anyone complaining is just naive to the fact of what needs to be done to do what devs do.Even having good enough hardware to make it a little bit of a faster process.much props.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Very busy at work so i i just flashed Silesh.Nair's build now. This is getting good!

It feels smooth etc. No lagging with lockscreen etc. Sync worked for contacts and calendar. One thing for now:

-at first boot it kept hanging on "unlocking sim card".

Did a reboot and everything worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] knives of ice:
so i guess this is ok to flash on North American model megas?

2SHAYNEZ
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kipue:
If you mean like ATT version and such, I very much doubt it will work.

Could even break something.

In any case, wait for the dev confirmation before attempting!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] knives of ice:
ahh... i just mistakenly assumed you were flashing it on a US model since you were on straight talk but obviously you could be using an international phone as well.

there is so little difference i hope this gets working for the US variations

Hang on a sec, there are lots of versions running around this thread which work properly. Please keep the OP up to date so we can try all that work without having to find it somewhere.

Further more, could someone pull some logcats from the 4.4 ROM? I have a free weekend, so I could help a bit.

Hi, FYI, the 3 links you need to install successfuly, and with (in my opinion) the most well-rounded rom are those:

2SHAYNEZ
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kipue:
Over the weekend, I was looking at similar issues in the past with CM.

It was indeed mentioned in one thread on the Note that the kernel was the issue. Didn't really make any note of that since it's a completely different phone.

Also, I did remember that the problem can be cause by the lock screen sound, which would have to be activated for the in-call sound to work. Unfortunately, the screen lock sound is on by default in your build :)

Can anyone provide me the boot.img from a I9205 stock rom?

New Build - Uploaded

Nope. I am uploading a new build. All the changes are visual.

Functionality remains the same as in previous builds. The in call audio problem is a known issue. It is affecting many phones like S2, S3, S3 mini, S4, HTC One, Nexus 4 etc.. Unfortunately, none of the fixes that are working on other phones, is working for our phone.

If you look at the screenshots, the call is getting thru but the microphone/speaker don't work. I am looking into it, but with my limited ability, i am not progressing too far. :crying: :confused: :mad:

Lets hope we find a solution. :fingers-crossed:

Update

Bluetooth also seems to be borked in this build.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] imreezm:
Does the audio work if you use a headset?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Haven't tried a bluetooth headset. Normal headset, no.

Ok. Lemme try after I download the latest build later.
