Sometimes before I have reported an issue with status bar deploy being choppy. I think that I have found a solution for this, if any of you are having the same issue: just activate a new theme pack from custom themes in CM options. So far working ultra smooth. (And the themes are really nice). I am also running Mackay kernel with ondemand governor but what solved the problem was the custom theme.

Hi fellas,

How's last snapshot version doing, compared to the last stable one, from the beginning of the year? Should I go for it and give it a try, or wait few more months for another stable release?

Take care
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Angristan:
You should install the last nightly, it's very stable :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ego-Zogger:
is 4.4.4 (0624 nightly) using more ram than 4.4.2 (M7)?

for me its about 30-50mb less free ram.. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] devloz:
Lol, you did something - I have ~170 - ~215 MB free.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ego-Zogger:
seriously???

how did u manage that? it means that android only uses ~100mb ram.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fran_xda:
Unfortunately Swiftkey takes a lot of RAM (if you have 2 languages installed), I use Aosp keyboard instead, you will have 30 extra MB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knuckles1978:
I'm running 4.4.4, but I noticed a large improvement in smoothness and speed since 4.4.3.

Pay no attention to the amount of free RAM, it means nothing. Free ram is wasted RAM in android. Don't think of it the same as a PC where the more free memory the better. Doesn't work like that.

My S1 is running faster than it's ever been with any previous version of android. Unbelievable. I couldn't care less how much free RAM I have. Use greenify on auto, that keeps everything in check.

Latest nightly is great.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

I really don't see the need for swiftkey. I bought it but I don't use it now.The gesture writing of the AOSP keyboard is every bit as good as it. It's just a waste of system resources.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fran_xda:
The best advantage of Swiftkey for me is that it is the smartest keyboard and that you don't need to change language before writing, the keyboard autodetects language.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knuckles1978:
Maybe there are advantages for some people then.. I don't use predicted words, they just slow my typing down, and I only use English. If all you need is the gesture typing then the AOSP keyboard does a perfect job. Last time I tried swiftkey the gesture typing wasn't actually as good as AOSP, but that was a couple of months ago, it's maybe better now.

Things like SwiftKey, Whats app, etc takes their part in your RAM.

1. But 4.4.4 is only security fix release. It's placebo, or wipe if you was forced to do that.

2. In normal Linux Distro, yes. But there is Java. Android runs on top of Java. Normal users don't take use of Linux (there can be even created Android running on top of Windows).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knuckles1978:
I know 4.4.4 is security only, I said I'd noticed a big improvement since 4.4.3... As in my phone started running amazing when I installed 4.4.3.

And I meant that free RAM is just a number. It's pointless obsessing over how much free RAM you have. There's been plenty of times where I've had more free RAM yet my phone has been running (much) worse. Judge how good your phone is running by how good your phone is running, not the number of free MB you have.

I was discussing whether or not the cost of RAM is worth it for swiftkey.

Sorry, are you a moderator? I guess not with a post count of 12... Maybe I had went a little OT, but it's not your job to be telling anyone anything. Just you concentrate on your own posts.

I am using this nightly and i use the i9000 as a second phone.Yesterday i needed it for voice calls but when someone tried to reach me it was saying that the phone is shut off or it has no signal.I am having data as if there is no problem and it is saying that i am logged on the carrier normally.

Anyone can confirm?:confused:

EDIT:After couple of reboots didn't fix the issue but power off and then power on and vouala....fixed.O_o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Makifylmz:
Which modem do you use? I use xxjw4 without any problem

Pawitp, why default modem is XXJVT ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Hi !

So this leads to another question:

According to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2098619

should be the latest firmware for my provider.

Using it with ODIN leads to a perfect functional German language I9000 plus my cell provider indeed is E-PLUS.

On every ROM i tested so far the modem is substituted.

E.g.

Using CM11, modem is XXJVT which is o.k. for me here in Germany but maybe not elsewhere

Flashing the PHONE section of XWJW9 with ODIN into CM11 leads to a broken IMEI.

Reflash of stock restores IMEI.

So what have i to do to combine CM11 with another modem?

All the best,

Frank
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] devloz:
On stock get modem image

dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin

On CM11 copy this file to /radio/modem.bin

CM at boot symlinks /radio/modem.bin to /dev/block/bml12 to emulate modem (after migration to MTD, BML devices are not present).

PS: Didn't tested. Never forced to do that (XXJVT works good).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
It was one of the latest and popular modem at that time. It works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Hi,

thanks alot for the explanation.

Please allow a follow up question: I see modem.bin resides inside the flashable file of the stock rom.

Can i simply copy it from there and paste it into the /radio/ folder on CM11 using root explorer ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] devloz:
I think it's copied to /radio at every installation. On our CM wiki we have prepared radio packages.

EDIT: Misunderstood. Not sure about that :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
Yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] UNiQ!0:
If I move apps to internal sdcard using the inbuilt settings the app disappears on reboot.

Anyone else facing this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Works perfectly. I had to set the correct permissions after copy from /sdcard to /radio

I am on that I9000XWJW1 modem now. Signal strength seems to be better with this modem but GPS fix is bad compared to JVT.

Since GPS is essential to me i tend to go back...

Edit:

Just been out for a test. JW1 modem is not able to do a GPS fix at the moment.

Reverted to JVT. Which is not substantially better by now with my ROM.

Got a fix of three satellites within 120 seconds but lost it within few more seconds.

My son's I9000 with M7 nightly and JVT modem gets 6 satellites fixed within 30 seconds and looses none.

So it is a matter of the CM11 Nightly as well i think. I am on the 2014-06-25 version of CM11.

Test environment:

All GPS status tests have been made with the mobiwia GPS Status app V4.4.86 and freshly downloaded A-GPS data.

Before each test i rebooted the phone and did a wipe of the app data and reloaded A-GPS data by WLAN.

Then went outside, calibrated magnetic compass and fired up GPS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nexzor:
i don´t think it´s a matter of CM11 Nightly.

i have disassambled (auseinandergenommen) 5 galaxy s in the past year and observed that there are slightly different matirials for the gps connection pin on the motherboard. some of them are a little bit softer (moviNAND boards) and some seems a little bit harder (iNAND) boards.

so maybe you check if you have a moviNAND or iNAND board. discriptions how to do this should be in the ICS nightly thread if i´am not wrong (pleas correct me [MENTION=3117667]pawitp[/MENTION] if i´am).

and what i did to all of these defices was applying the hardwarefix with some soldering iron. this made the GPS much better.

and normaly modem has nothing to do with GPS. this was explayned by [MENTION=3117667]pawitp[/MENTION] in several threads.

ok this was the old GPS discussion again! one should copy and past the maininformations.!^^

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hackwerk:
Couple of n00b questions, though I am an experienced user and have been using CM10 VERY happily on my i9000:

1) Any thought about a release date of the 'final' of this CM11 for i9000?

2) Which (other?) ROM at THIS moment would be my best choice to flash to my (old) i9000, when you know I looooved CM10, but also need it to be slim/fast and stable?

Thanks!

(I use and own an Acer Liquid E3 / E380 now as primary btw)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Thanks to all! Fixed it for good with double sided tape.

Get 5 out of 5 sat positions fixed. My Navigon shows 13 and fixes 10.

Not too bad i guess.

Hi !

I would not dare to ask question 1.). Might get punished :cyclops:

As for 2.): CM11 Nightly if that is not your everyday phone. M7 i had for some days, works very stable and quick.

OMNI Nightly is fast and stable, too.

Frank
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] devloz:
I want to ask you about first question: Why to be in hurry with CM11 release? It will not take much long, because of incoming L, but there is still time to make everything perfect + add new functions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
OK, you forced me even though not addressed :laugh:

My opinion: With CM11 this device is already filled up with bells and whistles more than is good for that hardware.

Let the devs take their time to make this ROM stable. I do not want any more features for this.

Just work out what is inside and make that a satisfying experience.

With a good CM11 basis others may come and learn to customize and make variants and learn to develop.

I think time will see M11 as the last and most stable release ( i am a prophet). :cowboy:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] devloz:
So your prophecy is kept inside book of the world ;) You know, i think it's time for "fixes" stage too. Mostly new theme engine (wooah! it's scary thing, UI is ok, but RAM is ||#_#|| and makes lags), translations (mostly done, but new features demands translations), apps (ie. Trebuchet still crashes sometimes), and overall (sometimes my phone goes into this state: it don't want to turn screen on, keys don't vibrate at touch, holding power button causes vibration feedback, but screen is still off).

You know... after remembering number of issues, i really want to make KK stable now, and do experiments with L in the future.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hackwerk:
Where did you read im in a hurry? Im waiting excited and patiently for almost a year already?

It is my second (unused) phone I will put this on, so no hurry at all, just hoping for a clean stable fast but modern ROM! :D

Many of us experienced a problem with the latest GApps provided by Banks, a massive wakelock activity and thus an outragious battery drain. As Banks himself reported, this doesn't happen on stock ROM. He pointed to some CM11 changes to Google OTA updates.

At the moment i am using the micro modular from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

and still have 80% battery left after 20 hrs. (o.k. mostly cell standby plus one update to the latest nightly).

But what i saw was that applications i never started after reboot had services running in the background (of which one was the

Yahoo weather app from the Playstore) draining battery to a large amount.

After removing the apps everything is fine now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nexzor:
it has something to do with playservice 5.0.

Hey. If i disable the notificationsy e.g. clash of clans everything works fine but if i reboot my phone i get again the notifications.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Hi!

MicroModular contains only basic apps. As said there these are:

In this package you will find the Core Base¹, Google Bookmarks Sync, and the following Play Store applications:

Gmail | Google Calendar (replaces stock/AOSP Calendar) | Google Now Launcher | Google Play services | Google Search | Google Text-to-Speech

Themes work good for my but i only use those from Cobalt which were made for the new theme engine.

Others i did not try.

Best,

Frank
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fmc000:
Yes, the next nightly will have the fix as it's already been committed and thus visible in the cmxlog.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Saber:
Hi there,

If you wanted to try out a different kernel, try using neo kernel or mackay kernel. Semaphore is good too but has less ram than the others. In terms of stability, go for semaphore or neo. If you want performance, go for neo or mackay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] abobobilly:
Well they say its because our device has gotten slow. I take it as it might never get fixed.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bloodyrose:
this is only my opinion but saying that our phone is slow to handle a basic call function is absurd, the call delay problem is, maybe, a marketing tactic of google to force manufacturers not to produce a low-end phone running Kitkat. And maybe to burden the good devs on porting KK to older or low-end phones. Handling a call is a very basic function of a phone, smart or not, does it really need a super highly specs to properly display an incoming call? i have nothing against google, but the idea doesn't really sync-in to me.sorry...

anyway thanks to our great devs for sharing your work with us :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] limnaln:
I don't have any call problems with Mackay ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bloodyrose:
well i have :(

it goes from all KK roms..i disabled all the graphical effect to at-least lessen the call delay..im not blaming anyone (but google)

all the devs here on xda are very kind to share their work and time :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Hi!

Talking about CM11 nightly rom, right? Native CM11 here, minimal gapps, Default settings on all pages.

Incoming call delay: For me, if i call myself, -ear at the receiver-, notice call sign local twice before connection to I9000 is made.

One call sign later, bell rings, one second later display turns on, and i can answer or end the call from lockscreen.

So what are we talking about? 2 seconds delay between incoming call and ability to react? Is that worse than any other modern phone?

Not for me. Normally i do not stare permanently on the device watching for calls.

Carry it around in my pocket or inside a shell.

My minimum reaction time on phone calls is 5 seconds. So my partner has to be patient or address my answering machine.

Such is life.

In comparison: My colleagues S3mini needs nearly as much time before waking up from deep idle and trigger the bell.

But:

In deep idle it stops measuring battery drain! That device shows on-time 2 days and has not seen charger unit

for 5 days :laugh:

Deep idle. That is what i miss on my I9000.

Without data connection except calling weather report 2 times, no WLAN except for one nightly flash a day, 2 * 5 minutes call, 10 SMS battery is down after say 3 days.

But: Battery drain improves the more mature this rom gets.

It's phantastic to watch!

Pawitp any chance i9000 receive Android l???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] baciany:
I think There is a BIG chance but first the Sources have to see the daylight :] Like it was with JB, KK and other it takes few days to someone realse Some Android L verssion ROM. There will be a BIG wave of the ROMS like always. And like always somethink will work, some not..Android 4.4 have alot of Monhs and still there are new Updates to the ROMS :] Will be like always.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PxGold:
I for one doubt that this platform will run L. The biggest reason is L requires ART and based upon users who have tried ART with CM 11 the feedback was not that good. Anyway CM will not make any commitments to any platform until L is released. It appears we may be getting some L features from the preview release in CM 11.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fran_xda:
One month with art now and only one incompatible app, 0 issues beside that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bloodyrose:
Thank you for clearing that out..but on my i9000 call delay is more than 5 seconds..i also use a CM11 nightly default kernel with no gapps,

answering the phone when someone calls me is bearable...but when i call, the in call ui, is also delayed..

its a shame for me but i dont have so much money and i often only missed call(drop call) my love ones..but because of the in call delay, they can answer my call when i only intended it to be only a missed call and not to be answered, here in our country if you made a call and cut it from hearing the 1st ring there are no cost, but when they answered it all of my prepaid load is consumed :(

im sorry if im just a poor person complaining around..please delete my post if i broke any rules i know this is a dev thread..sorry :crying:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fran_xda:
Try to disable as much processes as you can: Google search, cmupdater, mail, voice dialer, sound equalizer, hangouts, picasa uploaded, exchange services, sound search, news and weather. I have those disabled and almost never delay. Also check running processes if there is one using too much RAM and Greenify it or uninstall it . (or change for similar app but lighter)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Hi !

Good idea.

But from her post i read she has no gapps installed. That makes it more complicated.

And sorry for my kinda sloppy answer. No offense meant!

I did not know there are carriers that charge you just from the second ring on.

I thought that happened in Germany only. Long time ago when t-mobile was the only carrier so far.

If it really annoys you you may as well try another ROM.

For my wifes I9000 i needed something (better than stock) with a good performance, no bling-bling extras and perfect low battery consumption.

I finally settled for:

It's "only" CM9, but i like it very much!

And yes, after latest nightly 2014-07-02 CM11 has become very laggy. Wiping cache helped quite a bit but not alot.

I am sure things will get better, soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fran_xda:
Your answer is OK. I am on 06-24 nightly with Mackay kernel and themes on and this is the best performance combination I've ever had in this phone, having tried all Cm versions. What I say is that I haven't done anything special but disabling tons of apps (gapps and others) and being careful of not using heavy Ram apps or any app that keeps running in background with no reason. Never have had delay call issue (well I don't consider about 1 second an issue).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krzysiekx:
I've been using deep idle, JuiceDefender app and few other tweaks to maximize my battery life recently - everything was fine on latest stable rom. Until now, when I installed last nightly and updated GApps.

Now my clock alarms aren't working. I had one set up for a whole week for 5:40 AM. I used it all the time, it was fine until I installed the nightly - yesterday it had not woke me up. Today I set two alarms, the old one, and a new one, ten minutes later. Both didn't ring. Of course if I were to set the alarm now, for 5 minutes later, I'd ring - i tested that yesterday. But I need the ones in the morning, cant afford to sleepover because something failed.

How do I fix this? Any ideas, except restoring to the latest stable version?

Take care!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Strange!

I too use clock alarm on a daily base. Only difference is that i activate and deactivate the alarm time every day.

That is: One day i get up at 06:00am on another day at 06:30, sometimes at 05:00 and so on.

I have an alarm list without repetition and switch between alarms.

And i put the phone into flight mode during the night.

I'd suggest you give it another try with a one shot alarm and see if this works.

Otherwise a good clean flash is all you need. :laugh:

It never let me down on any of those nightlies !
