problems with CM11

I tried to flash Nightly 15.12.2013 and its not work.....

today i wanted to try the Nightly 17.12.2013 and its not work

the problem is when i flash it it stuck on installing update or back to CWM main window,,,,,,

even i extract the Nightly 17.12.2013 boot.img and i made a kernel.tar file and flash it with Odin

but its still the same problem i thought that would help :'(

Which ROM are you on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sycolon:
CM11 Nightly 14.12.2013
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
I've flashed just once CM11 for short, so no much experience with it and I read briefly this thread from time to time. Next week is my Xmas vacation comming so I will have more time to spend with the CM11.

I just have one question for you: did you have Gingerbread before upgrading to the CM? I understood from pawitp's and ts1506's bootloader info that it is highly recommended to use GB bootloader for CyanogenMod builds. With chill feeling along my spine, I remembered that my i9000 never before had GB installed, so I just flashed the bootloader in recovery, didn't reboot, flashed again Semaphore kernel 3.3.0s that I used with the CM10.2 (because the only file with extracted bootloader I found after long searching in www contained also some GB kernel that I really didn't want to try to use by rebooting into CM10.2.....LOL)

So I would try on your place the same what ficko_98 recommended: first get CM10.2 running and afterwards consider what to do with the bootloader. To return to CM10.2 I assume you will have to do this way:

flash Semaphore 3.3.0 (no matter if zip through recovery or tar with Odin)

wipe data/cache/dalvik

flash cm10.2build.zip

flash Gapps for 4.3/CM10.2 (not necessary, just if you use them)

wipe again (don't know if necessary, but won't make a harm)

reboot

You will find in my i9000-survival-thread under second text paragraph of the section 4 (Root etc) described how to flash the GB bootloader if you desire (with download link). If you do it, make sure to do it right, as there is no excuse of messing it up- it would be quite sure a hard brick then:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2444308

But if the problems you are facing right now are indeed bootloader related, it would definitely solve them. After that you will probably be able to flash CM11 without problems.

Good luck and post if it worked! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sycolon:
I had GB 2.3.3 , and we did together if you remember the CM10.2

I will try to back to CM10.2 and then flshing the CM11 Nightly 17.12.2013
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karlyzas:
I know this has been discussed several days ago, but there wasn't a solution. I can't find how to enable Google Now, there is just no button to enable it (see photo). I am on latest nightly, the same was with 20131215, haven't checked before. I tried reflashing gapps several times (20131208 version).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
Are you trying to flash it through adb sideload? There's not enough RAM for that. Or else did you use another gapps package which may be too large for the backup process?

I can't check right now, but maybe it's related to low ram mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
Then is good, it is proper bootloader on your phome. It will hopefully work. If not, make a logcat and attach for pawitp

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Initial boot screen

Hi [MENTION=3117667]pawitp[/MENTION],

We are very happy with your work and have no complains. I have a suggestion.

Just wanted to check if you can update the initial boot screen (before boot animation) with our device name and the CyanogenMod text to the newer CyanogenMod font since it has older branding - cyanogen(mod).

Keep up the great work.

Regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
It's not easy since it's in the kernel with a special format (you can search on XDA for more information. Custom kernel guys should be familiar with it.)

If anyone would submit a patch, I'll be happy to review and merge it.

Yes, it was there and I've pressed it, however nothing happened and that option is gone now.

Well I'm always glad to fulfill any personal request but i guess he talks about kernel bootsplash so more something like this (you know these stuffs i guess and maybe it's a somehow outdated link, only one I had at hand at the moment maybe it will help those compiling personals builds dunno..):

It would deserve a separate thread to submit logo's before submitting one "final" patch to Pawitp.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Grigoriz:
I have the same problem. It is a known problem. It' s because location reporting and location history its not available in your country yet (yes, i know it worked before). Try installing a previous version of Google search (2.6 i think) but after you upgrade the option will disappear again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nekuy:

How about Gaming Performance

Hey guys what is the gaming performance in this ROM...

Is Candy Crush and subway surfers laggy or run smooth????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fran_xda:
There is more RAM available so it is smoother than previous ROMs generally.

I don't know those games but temple run 2 works perfect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 1Ishara:
Yes bro works well.. And i even played dead trigger 2 without

Problem.. If u need u can use mackey kernel with CM11.. So u can grab more ram and more fun:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
I wanted to share my experiences with ART for anyone interested. I tested it now for a few days with 1214 nightly.

pro:

- scrolling and in-app performance seems smoother

cons:

- sometimes massive lags when switching apps, e.g. when pressing the back button

- apps take a lot more space on system and data partition, some got lost at conversion because there was not enough space.

- conversion from dalvik to ART and system boot take ages (this depends on the amount of installed apps)

Conclusion:

I'm now back on dalvik for a few hours, caches are settling and my phone is much smoother overall than on ART. So there is progress but ART is still under development and thus an experimental feature imho.

About my configuration: I did not test with pawitps CM kernel, I use semaphore kernel mainly because of bigmem and hugemem. IMHO this phone needs all the ram it can get. This is the second time i tested ART, the first time was in the beginning of 4.4 at pawitps unofficial builds, when the lags were even worse than now and system performance in general was worse than on dalvik.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knuckles1978:
I have also tested ART, for a week, and found that it was noticeably slower than dalvik. Lags, soft reboots, I think it's much better suited to devices with 1GB or greater RAM.

Dalvik + zram is definitely the best way of running an i9000

Weird Battery Drain with 19/12 Nightly

Hi I am on the 19/12 Nightly with Semaphore 3.40S. I am experiencing weird battery drain or at least the batter % is not reflected correctly. It shows 81% and then suddenly sometime later the % drops to say 30% or so. Happened with both my batteries.

Is anyone experiencing this ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rajeshbabushrestha:
I have the same issue... i searched for solution... googled a lot.... here is what i have found till now...

1) google latitude is being merged to google+ locations

2) so for several regions google location reporting is turned off

3) somehow this results in no option for turning on google now for random people in those regions

4) also if you are using google apps for business, your network admin has to enable google now for this feature to work

5) finally a workaround is to sideload google search version 2.xxxx and enable google now in that version followed by updating that app via playstore.... but even this may not work for everyone.... worked for me once...

hope this helps :)

Formatting other formats isn't well-supported (AFAIK, didn't check the code). The default is FAT32. If you want to format it as something else, I recommend you to mount it on your computer to format it or use make_ext4fs manually from a root shell (only if you know what you're doing).

Hi,

I'm looked gapps 20131208 inside. There are two PhoneSky apk (Phonesky and PhoneSky). I think “PhoneSky” is original one, according to notation. What is the differences between two files? Why there are two files? Install script use and install “Phonesky” apk.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pawitp:
You can use FAT32, exFat, NTFS and ext4 (provided that you've formatted them elsewhere).

Probably some mistake. The content of gapps is not supported by CM (due to its gray-area legality nature).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RowanDDR:
I don't mind what format as used, I just thought ext4 was the best for CM. But sounds like I'm wrong so I'll leave it as fat32 in that case.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nekuy:
If you want to install CM11, you should install first JVU (2.3.6) rom. Than you should root it with proper CF-Root file.

CWM came with it. Now you can install CM11 via CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
Nekuy's idea is correct, you need a GB rom with root and CWM 2.5.1.2 to take off.

After that, attempt to flash pawitp's CM10.1x will automatically update your CWM recovery version from 2.5.1.2 to 6.0.3.5 after your first attempt to flash CM10.1x.zip, in first step the recovery will be updated and recovery will be rebooted into 6.0.3.5 (the CM build will be flashed after second attempt to install its zip file, theoretically, you don't even have to do it- your CWM recovery is already updated).

After that you can attempt to flash CM10.2 which will update your CWM recovery further, to version 6.0.4.5 which is required version to be able to upgrade to CM11.

Maybe there is also a simpler method to upgrade CWM directly (like flashable zip). I just know this way around will work.

GB to CM10.2: you need only one "attempt".
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:

For some reason, I've missed the information that one needs a GB bootloader for CyanogenMod on the i9000.

I've checked this afternoon that part for my P5110 and found out also there that I needed to update my ICS bootloader to JB.
