If you also want to downgrade temporarily from CM11 to CM10.2, the direct way didn't work for me, this way it did:

* full wipe

* flashed whole DDLF2 twice with Odin 1.83 (inc.PIT&bootl.)

* rooted with CF-ddlf2

* factory reset

* flashed CM10.2

* reboot recovery

* flashed GApps for 4.3

Advanced restore of only /data from my CM11 nandroid also didn't work (on other devices it usually works), the reboot was nearly completed (optimized apps) but remained on the bootanimation...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] puppynaz:
Don't restore data. I never tried it, but yeah.. if you're really into that then try Titanium Backup Pro or Lite.

Although, some system apps may not work. I don't know which ones, ask [MENTION=4278473]Hetalk[/MENTION]. He does it best, so he'll tell you which apps system apps you can restore. The other apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook etc. will work fine, though.

Could you please explain how to boot into Safe Mode

~Manoj Kapuganti

Edit: Just now I understood it

To enter into Safe Mode, hold power button until it shows you Power menu (Power Off, Reboot, Screenshot etc)

Here hold 'Reboot' for 2 sec, it will show another dialog to enter into Safe Mode

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MaelStorm16:
yup, agree with it. i once upgrade to cm11 and restore to stock rom and my phone got brick.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
My friend has no pro version of TB. Only pro version has meta-data option that can restore apps or data across uncompatible systems.

Restoring only /data in recovery doesn't affect the system files, only apps, accounts and settings are included. With most of other Samsung devices it works fine. With i9000 for example, one can safely restore only /data from CM10.2 nandroid backup to CM11 and reboot without any problems.

With N7100 I was succesfully restoring only data made with three different CWM based recoveries (devil2, PhilZ, cwm itself) across different AOSP roms. For I help development for several devices, I often flash different ROMs clean (with full wipe) and restore only data. Therefore I very much prefer TWRP as it can backup only data and save tons of memory space.

Your i9003 is in (not only) these terms bit different. It is a big fortune to have dhiru, as he keeps the development alive here.

[MENTION=5644416]MaelStorm16[/MENTION] if course you had a brick, you can not restore whole nandroid backup across different roms.

[MENTION=4526632]nbrian2012[/MENTION] I use TB usually to backup apps before updating them to restore old one if I dislike the new version. Happened often. Otherwise it is great to save levels from Angry Birds across incompatible ROMs (works from 2.2 to 4.4.2) and to restore from other phones an app from play store that can not be downloaded on mine...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MaelStorm16:
I see
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] puppynaz:
2.2? People still use that? :p

I'm not an expert here, but I THINK (just assuming) that the API level of the app is different in 2.2-2.3 and different for all 4.0+ ROMs. Like G-Mail and Google Search (Now?), when you download the app from the Play Store, you get a completely different version in 2.2-2.3 and a completely different version in 4.0 (4.1+ for Google Now). So, to be safe, restore the apps only if you're from a 4.1+ ROM. :)

Oh and I'm not sharing the link of the site or the apk, since it's against the rules of XDA. But, try googling the Pro version of TB on any site. Just saying. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=4526632]nbrian2012[/MENTION] thanks :) but you didn't read my post careful enough: LOL yes it is true: I have made a lot of 3stars on "Angry Birds" while I was still using Froyo on my i9000 and restored only levels (app data) from Angry Birds with my TB pro version to 4.4.2 (it wouldn't work with the free version). I would not try to restore whole apps, but restoring only app data worked even across diferent devices, no problem.

However, restoring apps across different Android versions is in fact not recommended. That is my point: I never restore system data across the ROMs and, maybe therefore, don't suffer many bugs. That's why backup/restore of only data in recovery mode (instead of whole nandroid) is IMO very useful solution. You get a clean ROM and have your all data back within a minute. With TB you would need to spend hours for it.

BTW on my i9000 Froyo with SpeedMod kernel worked not considerably worse than the 4.4.x based ROMs do. It was stable, fast, had great battery life and more things were working than on AOSP roms. I have removed it only for having fun of using JB and KK and for using some Apps that didn't work with 2x ROMs.

I really can not say 4.4 roms work in general any better than my debloated Froyo has done. If I will need to use more FM radio some day, I will reflash Froyo and restore my nandroid backup made with it.

Saying this, consider that the i9000 has much more development so talking only about KK based roms, there is choice of:

CM11, Mackay original, Mackay OMNI, SlimKat, Carbon, SuperNexus, CyanAOSP, DirtyUnicorns, ParanoidAndroid, Smasher X, Avatar ROM etc.

For custom recovery, there is choice of pure CWM, Semaphore CWM, PhilZ touch, TWRP etc.

Upgrade to custom ROMs works from just any stock ROM version between 2.2-2.3x (not only from DDLF2 like here) and up-/or downgrading is not accompanied with such issues like it seems to be with the i9003. That is why it is a fortune you have a developer dhiru here, as it is him who keeps the development alive. Send him love and donations (and logcats) and wish him good health :)

Problem with wifi hotspot

I am using 20th January build. Its pretty stable for me. But facing a small problem with hotspot creation

I am trying to share my GPRS connection to other WiFi enabled handset. For that I created a WiFi hotspot so that other device can be connected to my handset and use my GPRS. And to surprise it worked awesomely. I used other device Samsung galaxy ACE DUOS :D But problem is that after downloading 3-4 mb on other device speed gets reduces to zero. This happened lot of times. I also tried to connect with Nokia handset having WiFi connection. Same problem is there. There is no problem with my GPRS. I am sure about it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ashokkumarrathore:
system.ui has stopped working

I know someone has already reported this issue and posted logs.

I am just giving a way to consistently reproduce the issue.

Here's what happens,

1. Play any video from gallery.

2. If you don't touch your screen till video finishes nothing happens.

3. When you pause the video or touch screen phone reboots and starts giving that system.ui has stopped working.

4.When you restart it again it behaves normally. I took a bug report with developer options. hope it helps..

Other things I observe are :

1. The dialer when you call someone is very slow.

2. I guess boot is slow too.

3.Somehow phone doesn't correctly know how much battery left.

When battery reaches 0% and you plug in the charge and reboot it. It immediately start showing like 37%.

4.Phone goes to deep sleep fine and battery consumption is minimal. But when you are actually using the phone battery drains very fast.

5.Audio recording doesnot work for mw. When you stop the audio the App closes and it doesn't save anything.

And again thanks to Dhiru for his efforts. You are the only reason I don't have to buy a new phone.:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manojks256:

anyone facing bluetooth sent file problem???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shaktishekhar:
Ya there is some connection problem i discussed wid dhiru aba it.. and he said it will b fixed in d next build... try unpair ur phone and send the file again making the 2nd party phone visable...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manojks256:
For all who are facing below problem, there is an work around

Problem: If you phone is drained and its less then ~10% charging. Switch off your mobile, turn on the charging, then switch on your mobile. Charging starts from 37%

WorkAround: Let the screen displays the CyanogenMod screen, then only turn on the charging, which will show right battery percentage

For system data, I just restore only the basic ones (ei. accounts, application widgets, bluetooth pairing, call logsm messages, wallpaper, wifi accesspoints). And I restore as XML, just cos TB says it's safe. Never had problems with these restores. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] inkelabzindabad:
The dialer is working very slow in case of incoming calls. In my case dialer is appearing about 10sec after the call is actually landed. Phone is draining too much battery when its awake 11% battery down from a fresh full charge just after 20 mins of conversation.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhiru1602:
Most of them are upstream bugs. I will not make a new build unless all these issues are fixed.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ILCAMPIONE:
Sorry for my few knowledge of words, but when you write "upstream bugs", it means that are bug of cyanogenmod sorce code?

this is wise thinking,that is why i kept hold on 20th build..Hats off to you [MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION] :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] catarifrangente:
I tried the three builds from the 20th to the 28th, passing by the 24th one. Noticed that the first one is the most stable, with less battery drain than others, even if with less optimisations as like as mac address etcetera...I like it, it gives me one full day of usage with a 2 years old accumulator. Can I ask what are the differences between the 20th build and the others (24th and 28th) from an energetic point of view?

Btw super thanks for the constant work on this device, it is my only one!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mrcet007:
I have tried all the above builds, i too am finding 20th build is the most stable.I am facing lot of ransom reboot in 28th build. Is it possible for dhiru to work on only stable cyanogenmod builds like monthly snapshots, RC,and final release and skip using nighlies as base? If you can port the latest CM 11 monthly snapshot to galaxy SL and improve it . It will be great!!

Anyways really appreciate your great work Dhiru!! Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fllaim:
These are alpha builds which means you should not install unless if you want to test and help developers find problems. It is up to developers when to decide that rom is stable enough to build monthly stables imho.

Force Close

Installed this on my pal's phone. Everything's good but i see force close in some of the third party applications. :( any solutions.

Apps open and then force close within few seconds. Nothing wrong with apps such as video players, apps which share system functions seems to force close. eg. Share App, messenger, google search

Would fixing permissions help? There's no option for that in the default CWM. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fllaim:
There is a chance that your google apps insallation is broken. You can try redownloading&reinstalling google apps and wipe dalvik cache after that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jinxie:

Hi guys, I'm playing with an i9003 borrowed from a friend of mine, and I flashed this rom coming from XXKPQ 2.3.6.

My compass is the only thing that seem to not work, as I've read is an old issue.

Any update about that?

Is there any clean way to disable zram?

In performance settings in this rom there is no way to disable it. It's hardcoded in /fstab.lacona

I made a simple init.d script to disable it with swapoff, but that's suboptimal.

Any plan to make this a parameter?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] puppynaz:
I was away with exams and shiz, that I couldn't get to try the new flavors of the nightlies.

0124 and the 0128 builds have too many CM upstream bugs, plus some apps are even slow on Dalvik and as well as ART. And on the 0128 build, I keep getting android process core has Force Closed. Did a clean flash, still.

The 0120 build is perfect. And I think it's the most perfect build out there. Smoothness and battery-wise! :good:

And personally, I think Dhiru should stop working on another nightly.. and should release a build only when a major change is up. That way it'd save him the trouble, too. :) Like release an RC1 or RC2 or Snapshot builds. And even the [ALPHA] status should be gone from the title of the ROM. The device is good enough to run KitKat flawlessly. :D

Good job, sir. It's been literally 2 years since I got the SL, today. Thought I made a mistake, at first, when I realised there wasn't any official ICS upgrade but then came CM9 from master Dhiru himself; which was awesome at that time! :victory:

Thanks for our keeping our device alive for 2 years and counting! You rock! :D :)

Google calendar not in the options

Hi,

I've installed the ROM. Great job !!!

What I've found not working is the Google calendar. Even after having installed the AOSP sync calendar app. Tried more than once.

When I configure the google account, I can see all the possibile sync options (apps, data, contacts, mail, etc.... ) but I cannot see Calendar.

There is no way to actually have access to it.

Is it only my behavior or have anyone found and solved the problem ?

Tks a lot.

SODS

Since yesterday, with the previous build, I started having very freacuently SODS. I leave my phone for 20 minutes, and try to wake up, and nothing happens. Have to remove batery. Over and over again, every 10 minutes.

Flashed new build (clean install, from DDFL2), installed my usual apps, and it started happening again. Try unistalling all apps (especialy have doubts about Greenefy, because it was recently uptated in the last few days) and only leave Whatsapp and Wifi Keyboard.

No SOD's in hours.

Installed Greenify. Again, SOD's every 10 minutes without touching my phone.

Uninstaled, worked again. no SOD's, leave phone all night and woke up correctly.

Today installed a few more apps, (Apex Launcher, Google Currents) and again: I can't let my phone stay with screen off, more than 10 minutes, otherwise it get SOD.

Attached logs, don't know what else to do.

Try these and see if it helps.

Else, if you can find a way to replicate the SOD, let me know and I can try it out.
