Sami OS 1.2 Update News

I don't know if you still care about my ROM but I am finally proud to say that the 1.2 update is nearly ready. It would have been ready by the end of June but my ISP had issues last week so I had no Internet access - so my work halted.

Anyways, this new update contains bug fixes, battery and performance improvements, an array of many big and small features and major overhaul to the UI! That's all I can tell you for now. I will release the 1.2 update along with its changelog on

July 7

(hopefully).

And thanks to everyone who took interest in my work and used (or is still using) my ROM. I know my work is slow but its because I'm always cautious about every step I take and test every single feature and changes for assuring perfection.

Cheers

Would really be nice if you can theme it with latest S5 ui..and have you looked in Lidroid 4.2 style toggles ?

[MENTION=4879114]Sami Kabir[/MENTION] is it necessary to be on 1.1 first ? , or can it be flashed directly from v 1 ?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] #Henkate:

What is the quick launch button?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
PS: It can be controlled from Settings > Display > More Settings > Quick launch

PPS: You can turn it off too.

I'm not sure whether it will work or not. Most probably I think it will but because I was already using 1.1 before, I did not get to test if direct update from 1.0 to 1.2 is possible or not. Sorry :o
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] LuciIT:

About Sami OS 1.2 update

1.I like new wallpapers.

2.That gradient style feature from Settings > Display is awesome.

3.Quick Launch and quick launch buttons are awesome too.I can take screenshots so fast :D

4.Bootanimation,ofcourse,is awesome :D

5.Rom feel more smooth after my opinion.

[MENTION=4879114]Sami Kabir[/MENTION]

Suggestions :

1.Previous suggestions that i suggested (like torch at lockscreen) :D

2.Maybe you can replace S Beam and NFC toggle with some features of rom,like a toggle for puting CRT on/off or shutdown and reboot.

[MENTION=4879114]Sami Kabir[/MENTION]

there was a bug in the 1.1 version

that when the screen light goes off and you press menu button to light it up again

it lights up and minimize the app you were on

did you manage to fix it in this version
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
I think it have something to do with delayed lock. See if there are some settings that delay lock for some time. Phone stays unlocked, just with screen turned off.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mhmod222:
no it isn't related to screen lock at all

it is only that when the screen just goes off

i immediately press home button so the screen lights up

it is supposed that the app you were opening still

but what actually happen that the app is minimized

You can try it yourself and tell me :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] shut_down:
I am not on Sami OS now, but this problem is going through my mind since some time.

Put it this way: What happen to the app when you press home and phone is not locked? It gets minimized, right? And assume that phone is not locked for some time (like 10-30 seconds) and screen is turned off just (same as unlocked, but screen is turned off). And you press home - it will do the same thing as it is does when screen is on. Is it more clear now what I wanted to say? :cool:

Possible solution - do not use home button, use power button to turn the screen on. :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
Thanks for the quick review and for those suggestions.

- Setting up a simple torch on lockscreen was very hard for me. I tried it twice and failed. Will try again soon :p

- Its very hard to add toggles. I just enabled the ones that Samsung disabled/hided. But I will give it a try soon :good:

I know what you're saying. Its quite annoying and that's why I developed the habit of pressing the power button instead. But it doesn't always happen for me and sadly I have no idea how it can be fixed :(
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Omer89:
I've already read the whole post before i ask this question (actually, that what i usually do ! ) , & i asked him to know the possibility of such a thing , & as you see he got me & answered me accordingly . That's all . Thank you [MENTION=4879114]Sami Kabir[/MENTION] for your kind reply ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] 115dan:
How can i make menu button multitasking button and longpress to bring classic menu?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
For now the Menu button can be used to do only 2 things:

1. Long pressing it can be used to either kill app(s) or open Google Search (or will open a Search menu within an app - this works for some apps only, not all)

2. Simply pressing it (for a brief time) will bring up classic/normal menu in any apps

But if you want to bring up Recents panel upon long pressing Menu button then do the following:

1. You need to use Nova launcher. This action is not supported in TouchWiz launcher

2. Change its function to Google Search (from Settings > Display > More Settings)

3. Now go to Nova Settings > Gestures and Buttons > Long-press Menu and choose Recent Apps

PS: However, this probably won't work when you're using other apps. So this probably won't be much useful for you. I will try to add this function and inform you if I succeed.

UPDATE: If you're using Xposed Module then give XButton Actions a try. I think its the perfect module for your requirement!

Hoping that this information helps you :fingers-crossed:

How many hours can you use with the screen on? And you provide link of CoCore 10.0 for me? (Beta build not appear in post of cocafe)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
- My battery is quite old, so it discharges pretty quickly. That's why I don't know how well my battery optimization tweaks work. Right now my battery is at 66% and the screen on time is 1 hr 41 min. So I'm guessing that it will last up to 3 hrs max. Of course, it depends on how you're using your phone, but that's my estimation.

- It took me a while, but I finally found it. Its not a flashable zip. Here's the link to Cocafe's post :good:

hello I'm having problems nor the samsung keyboard or Google wants to run, is giving fc nonstop.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] #Henkate:
[MENTION=4879114]Sami Kabir[/MENTION] : I have another suggestion :D. What you think about making a label named "Sami Tweaks" (you choose it) in Settings and in "Sami Tweaks" add more labels like statusbar (quick launch etc.) ,lockscreen (CRT etc.) etc. I think will look more cleaner and will be more easy for all users :)

PS: A thread in General section of Galaxy S Advance where we can say suggestions will be good.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
After flashing Sami OS 1.2? What ROM were you using earlier? I'm really sorry to hear this.

That is a very good suggestion but to make that possible I will have to make an app to do that (like HarshJelly Tweaker) but I don't know how to make Android apps yet and my programming skills are still very less :(

This is not a very popular ROM, nor its a AOSP based ROM. So I don't think there will be much requests or suggestions. And there is already a "Feature Request" section on this thread, so anyone can give me suggestions using that also. So, I don't think that making a new thread is necessary :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] #Henkate:
You can't only move options from a label in a new label? :) I think BOOTMGR or hastalafiesta will help you to make an app.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] #Henkate:
I confirm the bug.I wanted to login in Facebook and i must receive a cod,i didnt receive.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
It doesn't work all the time. I can only rearrange them within the same menu, if I take them outside, then it usually doesn't work and sometimes the Settings app even force closes upon pressing or selecting that option/menu..

Yes, they can help but they are also busy with their life... I will start to learn by myself, I already have everything setup and installed on my laptop :)

Don't worry man when you need help, don't esitate to ask! And you can find all my works on github (the link is in my cocoremanager app thread)

What is wrong? Sorry for my english.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
I think even I'm experiencing this too. It's probably a problem with the app. I'll look into this matter asap.

You need to flash Samsung's JB 4.1.2 firmware first.. Then Sami OS 1.0, then 1.1 and then 1.2 :)

Thanks :)

I don't have any issues with my WhatsApp. If your messages are backed up then please try clearing data and cache or try reinstalling the app

Messaging Bug Fix

Just as I said before, it was a problem with the Messaging app - not a problem with my ROM.

Anyways try this Messaging app. This one is from CyanogenMod (probably 10.1). Its a little themed and has an inverted theme. Its very fast (on my phone at least) and works without any problem. Give it a try!

Download link:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/5ozydvh4syq2mx6/Mms.apk

NOTE:

- If you use AOSP lockscreen then download this modified android.policy.jar too. And place it in system > framework folder.

- I probably didn't find this bug earlier because none of my friends or families use the traditiional SMS anymore, we all use Whatsapp and/or Facebook :p

- Thanks to [MENTION=5394937]LuciIT[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4471434]Force[/MENTION] for pointing this out to me :good:

- This will also be added to the Add-Ons sections of my thread

Im Just Asking...Is It Possible To Add Chinese Language Into Google Keyboard? :D

And Can I Install HBB Tweak v27 On This ROM? :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
This is the new keyboard :p

To get the new theme, go to Settings > Language and Input > Google Keyboard (the settings icons) > Advanced settings > Color scheme.. By default its set to White. Change it to Material.

Material is the new Android L theme

White is Android KitKat's theme

Blue is Android Jellybean's theme

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
I will download and check the files inside HBB's zip file to see if it's compatible or not..

And about Chinese language, if Google keyboard supports it then I can copy the required files from there to this keyboard. What's the country code for China? Is it CH?

Any idea why is Tinted status bar not supported ? Also stock gallery doesn't show any thing..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
- The Xposed Module Tinted Status Bar? Because my SystemUI is now using Potato Statusbar Gradient

- I honestly have no idea why the Gallery app is misbehaving for you. First with Camera, now with Gallery. You can remove it and use Samsung's Camera and Gallery app instead. You can get them from the Add-Ons section of this thread or get them from HarshJelly ROM's zip file (if you have it, because I remember someone saying that the gallery app I shared on Add-Ons section did not work for him)

[MENTION=4879114]Sami Kabir[/MENTION]

secLancher.zip is with latest 1.2 changes ri8 ??

plz provide both wifi indicator on and 3minit off systemUI if possible :)

btw i hv some suggestions for your next update ;)

1) accelerated progress bar as 4.4.x ( in blue colour bcz white colour is not visible in play store :p )

2) give option to disable wifi tost

3) smooth loading animation for old app ( present in HJ )

4) battary in quick setting/ 3mint panel (i know u tried this one before but i hv an idea which may be feasible n help full... we hv an widget for battery in any way we can put it in 3minit or quick setting our problem will solve... idk it's feasible or not but i didn't find any 3rd party app as quick as this widget ... btw newer cocore also has function of burning led which is also quick if u can any way trigger it it will also work :p

too much demands ...no?!.... ha ha :silly:

[MENTION=4942685]jineshpatel30[/MENTION]

Thanks for trying out my ROM and for your kind words!

- To set your Quick launch button as Screenshot, go to Settings > Quick launch > "Select Screen capture"

- Notifications button is not functional. Just like S-Beam and NFC. I had to add them to maintain a layout consistency.

- Yes SecLauncher2.apk is in Sami OS 1.2's zip file

- I will try to do this now. But somewhere in the process of making Sami OS 1.2, I might have broken Wifi Indicator - that's why it probably gives a bootloop. I will try to fix, but if I can't then I'm sorry :(

- I'll try to add the stuff you mentioned on your suggestions - and no, its not too much. And if I succeed then it will be added in the next update :D

and...

Don't know what I broke this time in SystemUI.apk :p I'll try to find the cause of this problem and attempt to fix it asap (hopefully). But can you browse your files on your PC (just after connecting your phone, without changing anything?)

Both of my USB cables don't work anymore. They can only be used to charge my phone, I can't use it for anything else.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
i knw how to add it but i dont knw how to use it !! i can see camera icon in status bar after doing this but i can't click it ( if it suppose to click on it to use ) when i click there notification drawer pull downs.

MTP works perfectly and we can browse files but Mass storage can not be mounted ... if i affemp to click on "connect to pc" SystemUI FCs and that button become unclickable !:silly:

btw in clock ( digital ) minutes are little Up words so upper portion of digits cut outs
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
Oh.. Just tap on it for less than a second. Don't tap and drag it down or hold it for more than a second. You'll have to be quick and it takes some time to get used to it :)

I'll try to fix this issue asap hopefully :)

Can you show me a screenshot of that please?

Only thing that is a bit of a sin is all the bloatware, I know it's TW based but I would like to see less bloat, or I need to teach myself how to make a Aroma installer :)

i added

## Liquid Smooth Ui

persist.service.lgospd.enable=0

persist.service.pcsync.enable=0

to build.prop and i feel UI is more smoother , can u tell me this changes may adversely affect something or not ?

and i saw telephony.delay=0 in most of roms but u put is as 1000 , is there some specific reason ? ... wouldn't 0 better ?

btw i'm attaching smooth progress bar xposed module with my preference (titanium backup ) .. plz check it... may be will help you to implement it:p;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
i conform this is still present in v1.2

sami hope u can find how this prob. occures..

other wise i also hv to develope habit like yours :p
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] LuciIT:
+1 for this.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
- Thanks for those build.prop lines. I'll try them out myself :)

- AFAIK, telephony.delay and ro.telephony.call_ring.delay controls the "delay" when the phone rings when someone calls. Setting it to 0 ms (millisecond) is good for CM or any AOSP based ROMs because their Phone app is very light - when compared to Samsung's one.

So when your phone's RAM usage is close to full or when its CPU is busy with other things and someone calls you.. your phone will ring instantly but you'll see a Black screen for a few seconds (because the phone app is still loading). I hope you understood what I'm trying to say here.

Setting it to 1000 (i.e 1 second) compensates for this by delaying the ring by a second, thus making the black screen last more shorter than before :cowboy:

- Even if I decompile the xposed module, I probably won't be able to find out how to do it. But still I'll give it a shot!

I think it has something to do with "Home Button lag". Its not there in Sami OS because I disabled it. Maybe this is what causing this issue.

Both issues are slightly irritating but if fixing one breaks the other one, then I think I'd rather stick to the habit of using power button :p

But yes, if there is another way to disable home button lag without causing this problem then I'll certainly follow it :)

WTF? Yeah, I am seeing it too.

I was using this app before and I never saw this problem. I placed the same app I used in Sami OS 1.2's zip file. ARGH!

what is "home button lag" .. never get anything like that !!

he he.. lot of frustration :p but why don't you use stock clock n calander ? i dont fell they are laggy... and i like their UI also:D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Sami Kabir:
Thanks for the links. I'll see if I can make use of them or not :)

When you press on the Home button while you're using an app/game.. Its going to take a few seconds, then it'll take you to your homescreen (not instantly or with less delay).. This is because Samsung decided to put the "Launch S-Voice" feature when the home button is pressed twice.. Even after removing S-Voice/Vlingo, the lag was still there, so I had to disable it permanently by modifying android.policy.jar

And I think this is what causing the problem you were talking about earlier.

Its because their size is bigger. AOSP apps are way more lighter, both in consuming RAM and in their actual size.

I'll see what do to later :)
