I am running 4.1.0 with everything default and I can't find the option.

Are you sure its in Mackay Settings (The one with tv out settings etc)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] idCyber:
Ty for the new version. This release finally restore Play Store without flashing gapps. Also the Low RAm mode toggle is a nice feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] marcinowozniako:
I also install 4.1.0 and in Mackay Setiings have this option:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hollandais:
Yes, just under "Activate navbar"

I found small problem. I installed Touchwiz UX launcher and it works. But when i try to add google search bar widget it days that i dont have installed option to bind widgets or somethink like this. How to change it?

And with ART mode touchwiz craches at start
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Both Touchwiz and ART are unsupported by me. I advice against both. So if you want to use it you have to solve your own problems :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knuckles1978:
I found out something today about the delay on incoming calls..

It only happens when the screen is off. If a call comes through when your screen is on there is zero delay.

So it must be that the phone is taking too long to wake up from sleep mode, or something lol

I'm no expert, it is just something I noticed...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] idCyber:
I think you are referring to Low RAM Mode. Go to /system/build.prop and add this line at the end and then reboot the phone : ro.config.low_ram=true
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bunbury:
Hi, does anyone know where it's now located the file "ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png" ? I don't see it anymore in framework-res.apk.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fmc000:
Can't speak for Touchwiz but I can only confirm that ART is not suitable for our device. Apart for the slower boot after flashing a new ROM (not to speak for the 40 minute conversion between Dalvik and ART), the RAM usage is much higher and the improved speed in heavier apps is lost in a few minutes of work as soon as the RAM gets filled up.

So it's best fo our SGS to turn on low_mem and continue to use Dalvik. All of this IMHO, of course.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] octolith:
Agreed :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] N3tro:
Really?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ElmirBuljubasic:
My conversion dured 1 hr..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elektroda:
Art really takes time to convert thus startup is generally slower afterwards. Pros are, bit faster, can have only 150mb used mem and about 250mb of available memory. Less space on HDD due art compiling.

This is just my personal opinion. It's still early to tel but I would definitely love to see improvements on art since this is something other roms did not have and that is one of the things that makes KK (I dare to say) great build.

Even using dalkvik frame, ram usage and overall perf/stability is great specially with Kaspers work! :good:

I installed Build Prop Editor, and do this as mentioned few pages back, Pretty much easy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] baciany:
I used ART daily with your Rom and:

1. More free ram

2. Faster and smoother basic options

3. Reboots when using too much apps in one time (Downloading apps from google play and opening Hangouts to write sms - reboot, 2-3 tabs in browser and anythink other - reboot)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] simon16:
What is low ram feature and what does it do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
It is a special setting for 512MB devices (like ours), which removes some graphical things (like transparent sysbar) to keep more free RAM and thereby increase smoothness of the system.

Could anyone kindly check if VPN is working ? Anything Like "Hotspot Shield" or "Spotflux".

For some reason, VPN on Mackay Kernel (and sometimes CM itself) never works for me :S It always tried to authenticate but never does.

Back on 4.2.2 jelly bean, I had to switch to Devil Kernel from Stock CM or Mackay because no matter how hard I tried, VPN would never connect.

So if someone could kindly confirm of they are able to connect a VPN.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stirredo:
Such a good ROM.

Smooth and stable so far.

Thanks Kasper.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wazza1991:
I can clearly feel the difference with low ram mode enabled...its faster and much more responsive! Thanks Kasper :thumbup:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awesomeandroid:
ART is just too unstable.

Just clean flashed 4.1.0 over 4.0.6 and the phone AGAIN feels revived, very smooth and very fluid.

Dont use ART, too unstable and causes random reboots EVEN it gives much better RAM management imo,

If you can't find the low RAM toggle, reboot your phone after flashing the ROM. (flash > reboot > set up > reboot > mackay settings), my experience is that I cant find low RAM toggles on first reboot :)

***Bug report- And oh I also experience delay in answering calls when the phone is not been used. Missed calls by the time it lit up =/. Hope there's a fix soon. Thanks.

Thanks Dev! God bless and have a good weekend!:D

I'm on ver.4.1 when playing shoutcast with winamp (tried also other streaming app), the stream get's droped when phone is in standby. When using this while connected to power this does not happen.

I did not have the issue <4.1 bevor.

it does not seem that the wifi (stream) stops, seems rather that the process freezes . . .!?

i have tested this while running endless ping towards the wifi connection, shows, wifi still up and ip packtes going through.

had same issue while "allow purging of assets" was turned on. but it's not currently.

zram is turned off

Do we have some documentation on how to remove the checking code from the updating script? Its inside the flashable zip right? just unpack, remove code then re-zip? right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
If you open the file in 7-zip go to META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and extract it

You should remove:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxysmtd" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxysmtd" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9000" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9000M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9000M" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9000T" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9000T" || abort("This package is for \"galaxys,galaxysmtd,GT-I9000,GT-I9000M,GT-I9000T\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\"."););

And then re-add it.

Kasper, thank you for this ROM and for your awesome work. This ROM is really great, I have just one problem: Browser is suuuuuper slooooooooooow.

I hope that there's still something that could be done :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nezys:
Browser smoothness issue is not related with this rom but it's so slow in all KK builds..

I think that it comes from the Chromium WebView..

I advice you to try a different browser such as Opera Mini o Next Browser if you can't use the stock one ;)

Other Gapps packages

Has anyone tried CyanAOSP-Gapps-KK4.4 with this ROM? Are there any advantages / disadvantages using other than the recommended ie dhacker29's versions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Without a logcat it is hard to solve. If it really won't work, you can also delete it with a file manager (either when booted in ROM or recovery) from /data/app

I would advice against it. All gapps are more-or-less equal in capabilities/apps. Updates of outdated gapps are automatically installed through Google Play. So I only see risks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
No more relevant
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] octolith:
In the meantime I did a manual reboot, and after that, my lockscreen didn't work, I couldn't lock the device with the power button, it stayed on. Finally I was able to uninstall the app, and my lockscreen behavior returned to normal again.

I recorded a logcat of me trying to lock the device with the power button (strangely it doesn't even appear in the logs) and then uninstalling Themer succesfully (although there are a few errors in the log, I don't know whether they are important or not).

I don't have adb installed at the moment, so I could not record a log of the reboot, maybe I'll try again once I've installed it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Thanks.

The only errors I see are related to the themer app itself...

Small feedback

[MENTION=3033992]kasper_h[/MENTION] your CM Mackay Rom is awesome! It is the best KK rom for i9000 for now, since pawitp can't work now, and has good additional features.

But I tried ART yesterday, and have to say it really sucks. Not only it needs much time for first start (i'ts normal), but it hotreboots about every 5 min, wich didn't happen in dalvik. So it would be nice to warn people about it, e.g. in a message.

Also I tried your Omni Rom from today, but i'ts not optimal, since I feel lagging even before time and apps :( and it is bugged too, but it was a test build, so it's nice to see at least the trial of making this rom available is respectable, it will probably run better later, so thanks to make it available for the testers of us :p

Great Work!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I adviced against using ART several times in the thread, but I understand that not every reads all of it, so I added it at the start of OP as well.

Omni is nice, but has two flaws:

-unexplained lags every now and then

-data does not work

I made a new OMNI build in which the lags are gone, but I still can't get data to work.

Indeed it is :)

Probably, doing a grep low_ram or something like that in the CM11 source code would turn up the parts where it is included. But I am too lazy to do that as I don't really care ;)

Flashed mackay for the first time over an existing CM10.2 nightly + semaphore installation.

First time, the usual error came, so I installed the omni kernel. After that it worked.

BUT

it boots fine, but everything just FCs, including the setup assistant. No matter how often I click ok, the FC window tells me of another app that crashed.

I rebooted into recovery, did another wipe, did another install, no difference.

What can I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] emilianoheyns:

Am I supposed to have root after this? I flashed the rom + gapps (after flashing the twrp kernel), and the phone boots correctly, but without root.

2) Selecting performance settings, gives force close.

Great ROM, first upgrade since AOSP JB for me, I can't be doing with chopping and changing ROM all the time, I just want it to work - exactly like this!

One question though, Google said they removed the network arrows from the status bar but I notice they're still visible in your ROM, they did this for performance reasons, might you include a toggle in your settings so we can choose to do the same? I think its to do with reducing the amount of wasted resources in updating the UI.
