And there is a need to wipe data?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elektroda:
I had similar prob with mobiledit. Created backup of contacts/sms/mms as usual but after last rom upgrade 4.1.3 only manage to restore contact even though mobiledit processes them fine. I'm sure it's rom related. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope next CM update fixes this.

p.s.

I'm wondering what will 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 bring to the table... KK is growing to fast.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] octolith:
I don't see your point. It has been user selectable, you could have turned it off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] knuckles1978:
My point was just that it sounded like a good feature to me before I had actually used it, so i tried it for about a week but came to the conclusion that it was more of an annoyance than anything else. Maybe some people like it though, but I honestly can't see how anyone could use it without accidentally changing their brightness fairly often.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Und3rtaker:

I am trying to compile Mackay ROM 4.1.4, but it won't compile since WhisperPush was merged. Even a completely clean build doesn't work. And I have no time to dive deeper into this (I decided to spend most of my time available for Android development on Omni), so I can't indicate an ETA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bunbury:
No problem, we'll wait... :fingers-crossed:

Edit: ... so I assume there will be an Omni version for i9000 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Xampy:
Thanks kasper, it runs pretty smooth on 4.1.3! Scored over 5100 in antutu, and I can play most games without appreciable lag.

Anyways, why I can't change the camera focus mode to 'macro' eg? I imagine that it's CM related but if anyone can tell me why.

And one general question, I have used a lot of roms with GB, ICS, JB and KK and I noticed that photos taken with camera in GB have better quality than taken from JB or KK (and maybe ICS but I don't remember). Anyone knows why?

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turtuv:
I need a suggestion about I/O scheduler and Governor. What's the best match for battery life?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ts1506:
CM has not yet added focus modes. You can use 3rd party apps (I use camera zoom fx, it has macro).

Stock GB ROM uses some closed source code which makes the photo and video much better, also supports scene modes and lots of shooting modes and other stuff. It cant be used in AOSP ROMs, hence the poor quality

Hi,

It's just my humble opinion: do a nandroid and flash 4.1.3... then tell me what it feels like :)

(limitations: themes; some apk that still don't have the KK ready, stuff like that, apart from this it's "like a child again" or a reborn of the i9000)

Yes it is enabled by default in the ROM. I think this is part of KK optimizations for devices with low RAM by default. Also u can edit the ammount of used zram via build.prop.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I have talked about Omni several times. Until last year, I used CyanogenMod as the base of my ROMs for six different devices. Since a few months, I have been going over to Omni for all but one device: the SGS. The reason was that data connections didn't work on Omni, which is quite a crucial feature of smartphones :)

I then found out that using my Mackay kernel (build using CM11 build system) on top of Omni did enable data. So I have moved my kernel over to Omni and can now build Omni ROM for SGS as well.

To prevent cluttering of threads, I opened a new thread for my Omni release:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2570717

Just to be clear. I may or may not build another CM11-based ROM, but in principle, I will move over all my efforts to Omni.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cink40:
Well i must say that i do not like this, cm has a lot more usable functions ( theme, qs ....) then omni and i think it is more stable, but it is certainly your decision...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
There is choice enough in kitkat-land for SGS :) If you don't like it, just find another ROM that suits your taste.

Anyway, Omni has overall more features than CM ATM. Only QS tuning is not there yet, although it is under review so it will come.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hollandais:
I'll follow you.

The only thing I'll do is a backup before flashing, and hold the latest mackay rom in my device.

So I can go back if I want.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cink40:
Sure, no problem. Just for discussion omni maybe have a more functions but not the ones i use...Themes, profiles, qs..., i do not need and use Halo or active notification etc
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Oh, I fully understand. The thing is that I currently have to maintain two ROM source: both CM11 & Omni. That takes a lot of time. Spending all my time only on Omni gives me more time for improving things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zakitheracer:
Just a question that will you be still making kernels for CM11?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I don't know yet what the future of CM11 will be for me :)

Anyway, at the moment I use the CM11 kernel to get Omni to work correctly. So that means that for the time being, I will continue building this kernel. But I don't think there will be many improvements to the kernel: upstream 3.0.y kernel updates have stopped (EOL). After all these years, we have reached a final stable kernel state I guess...

I don't need too much functions(pie,halo etc.)

Stability and speed counts for me.

So I'll stay at cm based roms.

kasper ... the 4.4.2 update?

KitKat p1000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaibar:
And you are asking because...

a) There is something utterly urgent new in 4.4.2, of such important emergency that it demands kasper's immediate attention and thus it is actually okay to nag about ETA??

b) You are too bored, got nothing else to do so you must flash a 4.4.2 ASAP or something bad is going to happen to your phone?

c) kasper actually works for you, thus he must report anything hindering his process on precious 4.4.2 (such as working on obscene side projects like Omni rom, or maybe a rom for SGTab)?

d) You're not asking for ETA, just reminding that somebody who happens to be nicknamed kasper owns you an update?

IMHO better wait a few days, maybe it'll come, maybe not. In the meantime, you can try new omni (by kasper), or flash some 4.4.2 rom from other thread. There is a blooming of KK roms all over the forum...

I've found a problem with the WiFi though. I leave it on all the time, and have Android set to turn it off when the screen is off, to save battery.

Great Rom.

Hi,

I'm using this ROM from last month and it is working great.

From today onwards my office started giving Wifi Open access to all employees, everyone enjoying wifi but i'm not getting stable wifi connection.

Signal strength is Poor but all other mobiles are working fine when placed next to my mobile (3Mbps devices are Galaxy Note2,Galaxy Grand).

In every one minute wifi connects well and goes off - this is continuous process.

Just informing you - Not asking for any fixes.

Regards,

Praveen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
If it makes you feel happier, I can tell you I have the same. If I have my SGS & Nexus 5 at my workplace, my SGS has a unstable 1-signal-connection, whereas my N5 has a rock-solid 3/4 signal. Has always been that way for me. I don't think anything can be done about that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xpr0nx:

For signal strength problem I would take the battery cover off the phone, remove the 7 screws, remove the plastic frame, and use a tiny flat head screwdriver to gently scrape the contact pads for the aerials to improve the connections. And if you haven't done the GPS fix, it would also be a good time to do that..
