Feature Suggestion

If you may add..

1. Download manager with pause and resume feature.

2. Installer that shows the installed version of the app and of the app being installed.

3. Volume steps for notifications,music and system sounds.

Do consider these.

BTW awesome work so far. Keep it up!:good::good:

Really gr8 work .

Have been using your roms for while, and its great , unlike other roms I used, yours the only one that kept the same

smoothness for a long period of time without being degraded in speed .

You saved me from spending on a new device without the need of its blown features I don't use or need.

Thank you!

How to upgrade from Mackay_ROM_2.999_Final (Android 4.2.2)

to

Mackay ROM 4.9.6 (Android 4.4.4) ?

Is there a direct way conserving settings and personal data?

Thx for hints, best regards...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ioannis_m:
Download mackay kernel 0.961 on your SGS and mackay rom 4.9.6.

Μake a nandroid backup of your data only and then wipe dalvik,wipe cache,factory reset and format system.Then install mackay kernel and reboot to recovery.Install mackay rom and gapps and you should be good to go restoring data only (settings etc is not advisable due to system partition change).

Wait for confirmation of the steps from kasper h. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Going 4.2->4.4 I would recommend a clean flash. Just wipe everything. You can use titanium backup to backup/restore user apps including their settings. But doing a nandroid data restore will almost certainly lead to issues, as that will also recover the system app data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ioannis_m:
In TWRP isn't there an option to backup only the data and not system stuff?:confused:

Anyway i agree with you in a clean flash as I also wrote with full wipes. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Yeah, but /datadata partition includes the settings/data of the system apps (not the system apps themselves).

Icons and end user manual

I have looked for hours for a very simple question: on my Samsung Galaxy S I have Mackay rom 4.9.6 that is great so thanks (!) and when I slide down at the home screen from the top there is one icon I don't understand: 2 rectangels on top of each other and when I push it the top one gets filled and when I push again ... unfilled. I don't understand what it does if it does anything. I only see manuals how to install Cyanogenmod on all kinds of devices and only a few who explain these basics. So actually I have 2 questions: what is the meaning of the icon and is there some kind of overview of all CM / Mackay settings / icons for the end user? Regards, Simon

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bhu1:
I was on the latest cm on which all 720p videos worked properly with MX player and with dice player on H/W, H/W+ and S/W node but stock cm kernel has ram issues and I got occasional bombardment of crashes where everything stopped working so I tried the latest mc Kay kernel on top of it and that, although fixed ram issues, broke 720p playback. So after all that I thought to just flash the McKay ROM itself to see it maybe that fixes the playback and no, I still can't play 720p videos. Please, I am in need urgent help regarding this issue.

Hi to all.

I'm using this ROM for quite some time and i'm satisfied with its performance.

But I might have discovered a bug.

When I install the ROM with an SD card with full wipes, after rebooting I get either WiFi not working ,can not be activated) or imei seems to be lost. Either WiFi or IMRO will work. I test it with or without gapps. The only solution is not to use the sdcard.

TWRP Manager...

Is TWRP Manager (Root) from GooglePlay running with Mackay's TWRP recovery?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager

Any restrictions known?

Another TWRP Manager advised?

And: Is it necessary to backup "Android Secure" for complete restore?

Thx...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RuffBuster:
Currently using the latest build 4.9.7 and I'm liking it a lot! It's not as snappy as Mackay ICS, but it runs very well for a KitKat ROM! Everything works like it should and the performance is on par with most of the other KitKat ROMs on here. Have tweaked a lot of things and keep my processes to a limit to keep things running smooth. Thank you so much for keeping our aging devices alive!

One small thing that bugs me is the charging animation when the phone is powered off seems to be broken. Any chance of getting this fixed? I find it very useful myself. Cheers.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Recovery is based on stock twrp, so these managers should work fine.

Yes, backup of android secure is a good idea.

The animation issue exists for a long time. I've never found the perfect solution. I already live with it for a long time, it does not hamper charging itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AreXe:

That patch indeed solved the issue. I also changed twrp. Will test for a day or two before uploading to be sure it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D0MINO:
Is it just me or does the GPS not turn off for others too?

If I set it to device only, then I can switch it off with the drop down menu/tiles..if it's at high accuracy then at some point it doesn't let me turn it off or even switch to battery saving/device only. It tries to select the option but the selection remains on high accuracy. Sliding to turn it off, it does slide but then bounces back to on after.

Also, a notice saying that com.google.process.location has stopped appears occasionally but this might be because the datadata gets low randomly sometimes.

This is really annoying and will for sure drain my battery. Is there a fix for this?

Installation on External SD?

Hello Kasper,

Would you be willing to create a build for installation

entirely

on an external SD card? I've posted about my dilemma here but the basic problem is a kind of catch-22. My internal storage is broken and I was able to find a Samsung (Odin) based 2.3.6 build that was pre-built for installation on an external card. I take a 32GB card, partition 30GB FAT & 2Gb ReiserFS, flash via Odin and it works. But, I'm stuck with 3e and no way to retain the mount points when I move to a CM based ROM. As soon as I flash another kernel the recovery begins to fail with 'cannot mount /data' and similar errors.

At one point there were kernels built for MackayRom to swap internal & external memory but I don't need to swap I need to install entirely on the external SD. As far as I can tell I need a kernel/recovery pre-built with mount points on the external SD.

Are you interested in supporting this for your ROM? I'd be happy to test kernels and report back. If not, no worries, thanks for your work on this ROM. 2.3.6 isn't ideal but it's better than a brick and I can live with it.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Would take some testing probably for tuning the parameters. But without having an external sd, I can't easily do that. And asking someone for testing builds is rather inefficient...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bloodyrose:
Sir kasper my i9000 has also suffered a broken internal memory :(

i would also want to test a kernel or rom or anything that would run a CM rom on External SD..

thanks for your awesome works :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Can anyone post a link to a ROM that is already doing that, installing on ext SD?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RuffBuster:
This is a link to someone who managed to do this with a ginger bread Odin base ROM. Saved my neck once, but I couldn't live with being stuck on ginger bread, and so replaced my motherboard. Would be great to have a version of your rom to fall back on when internal memory finally dies on us. http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=520348

That's the ROM I'm using ATM. It's usable but only as an interim solution until I can figure something else out with the i9000 or move to another phone. [MENTION=4474911]RuffBuster[/MENTION] -- How hard/expensive was it to replace the board? I've been inside several phones before for a variety of fixes. It is a screws/snaps job or is there glue/tape involved?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RuffBuster:
Was very simple to replace the board. 5 screw's and a plastic knife to pop the ribbon cables attaching the board to the rest of the phone. Check YouTube for a guide, what I used. And a board can be bought cheap of eBay, I bought a phone with a smashed screen for £15 and used that.

Hi!

I flashed this ROM yesterday coming from stock -> CFroot -> CM10.2 -> 4.9.9 without flashing bigmem libs and using Banks

minimal gapps.

Everything fine so far. Very smooth!

720p video does not work for me in combination with mpeg4 codec (message tells "format not supported" or so, but no fc).

It does work with h.264 codec which is default !

I don't have the SGS with me atm but could test any combination of audio and video codec later this day.

If nobody else jumps in first :)

Big thanks to kasper_h.

720p Video

Hi all,

as promised i tested every combination.

480p resolution works with any combination of Video and Audio codec.

720p resolutuion works with H264 as video and AAC as audio codec (this is default).

Every other combination tells "The chosen resolution is not supported by this encoder".

Sidenote: No bigmem kernel installed!

(Plus i guess this does not make a difference).

Thanks for the upgrade, great rom, although i had to do some deep cleaning in the ./system/app folder and i switched the low_ram option back to true in the build.prop. By the way i do not see any difference except for the notification bar that is no more transparent but black. and this props up my question: is there a way to delete completely the google search widget: i have absolutely no use neither of google now nor of the ok google functionality!

One critic: please if you happen to do another upgrade put back the stock camera, because the one you put on the latest rom although it is beautiful no question about that, it lacks so many options that the previous one had, for example, and this one is big, the possibility to shoot a picture just by pressing the power button!

Thanks for your great work, kasper_h :)
