Replace dialer

Hi. Can the default dialer be replaced with another? I installed RocketDial but the default app is still answering calls. In the application settings "Clear defaults" is disabled for all dialer apps. Thank you

Anybody using Link2sd? I cant recreate mount scripts...

I am updating to 20140801 build
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
After recreating the script, just reboot, even though link2sd says it didtnt work.

It is working for me.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] handgun50:
Quick reboot fixed it...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] handgun50:
I get an issue on enable lock screen or not shortcut (look attachment)

When I enable the lock screen, it disables

When I disable, it enables

So, it is reversed

Anybody can confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
I can confirm this. I even think that this bug was present prior the latest version.

Copy speed

What could be the cause of these fluctuations in the copy speed? File copying occurs. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
Where did you copy your file? To the internal or to the external SD card?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] onur5544:
External sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
Please, test the same copy operation to the internal SD card if there will be any copy speed fluctuations. I think that for variable write speed could be responsible flash controller in external card itself not CM ROM. There will be other speed differences when you are copying one big file versus copying many small files.

Bluetooth and lockscreen

Hi all,

I'm an amateur tester and debugger :), however would like to post a couple of small bugs which are wished to be cleared in future.

Version: 20140721

1. Bug title: Bluetooth connectivity is weak

Probability of occurrence: HIGH (permanent)

Description:

I use a Jabra car speakerphone, domestic speaker and a car audio receiver.

- All do connect to a phone not stable. 1 of 5 attempts they do not connect to a phone just after switched on. Have to go to bluetooth settings and connect them manually.

- Then bluetooth audio devices remain connected even if they are not in range. When I return to a car after both connections are lost the phone still considers audio devices are in range and "holds" them trying to play audio streams to them and not allowing to automatically reconnect devices. Have to again go to bluetooth settings, manually disconnect and then reconnect devices.

- When working with speakerphones the phone does not execute some standard speakerphone's actions like redialling last call, hang up.

- ES file explorer refused to send apks from App manager mode. APK could only be sent copied to a temp folder an SD card.

2. Bug title: Lockscreen wallpapers cant be located as desired

Probability of occurrence: HIGH (permanent)

Description:

Any image which is selected with any application (Gallery, Quickpic etc) does not appear in the lockscreen as it was positioned in an app. It appears moved much to left. Screenshots attached.

Thanks for looking and sorry for my English. Hope for correcting this.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] handgun50:
Try other kernel maybe? I can record fine but with different kernel. I don't test with stock kernel
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] onur5544:
Internal and external SD card with the files on the big and small have done a few tests. Photos are attached. Sorry for my bad english.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
What I read from your snapshots:

- your external SD card is slower but has better speed when copying many small files

- your internal SD card is speedier more than 3x times especially for big files, but struggles when copying small files

- notice that you get copy speed fluctuations on both cards when copying many small files, but not when copying one big file

I think that it is normal observation for such an old legacy device.

What is your external SD card?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] onur5544:
Sandisk class 4 8gb. I bought 2 year ago, between phone.

Bluetooth and Battery life

Build 20140801

Hi all,

I'm new at CM firmware, just installed yesterday on Galaxy GT-8150

Thanks all of the work.

Here is my report:

Bluetooth - Ford audio speakerphones

- car mic gain seems to be lower than official samsung firmware, on the other side of the receiver feel lower audio

will be usefull setting up the DSP Manager, section bluetooth? (dynamic range compression or other?)

- when working with car speakerphones the phone sometimes does not execute some standard actions like redialling last call, hang up and always address book reading

(same as the post of yakovleff)

Battery life

- first trial: the duration seems to be 50%... has anyone done this test? other CM (like CM9) are better for battery life?

Thanks

Lorenzo
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
Sandisk Class 4 - and this is compliant with result of your testing. This is good card for many small files copying, better than phone internal memory, but limited in speed with its class.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yakovleff:
Power

Guys,

Continuing iw3her's report:

I would like to note that IMO CM team has significantly improved battery drain in standby mode in CM11. However usage mode drains the battery faster than CM9. Recent experience: 63 percent remaining, 2 bars of WIFI, screen brightness approx. 60%. Reading RSS feed (RSS daemon), seldom calling the standard browser for full articles, sometimes email was draining the battery approx. 1% per minute (!). And seems the battery drains faster the lower percentage remains. The battery is genuine fresh (used since April 2014).

Will try to calibrate battery....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] JohnProfic:
Headset, again

Build is 20140721 and I've got a strange bug: after any call made (incoming or outgoing) headset button becomes dead. There is no reaction on it at all (even input event logger doesn't show anything) until I unplug headset and plug it back.

I think problem is with new sec_jack driver. My previous build was 20140311 (AFAIR) with patched arco's 3.4.90 kernel and I had the only problem of needing screen to be turned on while plugging in headset. Patch was needed to make that button useful as delay of 100 ms to detect button press in old sec_jack in stock kernel was ~400 ms delay in real time and almost useless. Patched it to 50 ms and presto! And now it is even 30 ms in new sec_jack, but with dead headset button after call :(. BTW that's why I decided to update my cm11 -- new sec_jack driver and patch-free future :).

While with old sec_jack and old bug I had a vague idea where to look, with new sec_jack and new bug I have no idea even what to look for :(.

Any ideas? Can anyone at least confirm this? Any more info required?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
+1 I've noticed that too. Deep sleep is working pretty well, but the time you start using the phone (texting in my case), battery drains fast esp when battery at below 40%, it just drain faster... boom!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Gesuino:
And when I take a picture with automatic flash and the battery at 20%, it kills the phone and I have to restart it to regain a % randomly between 10-16.

Hi [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5450821]sir mordred[/MENTION]

i just discovered the samsung galaxy pocket 2, released in vietnam a month ago.

It should be a single core Cortex-A7 MP phone with only 512MB ram, but running with Android 4.4.2 and (as i watched into the source code) a Linux 3.10.17 Kernel.

Maybe this could be interesting for us? (For example i just had a short look into the lowmemorykiller.c and spotted some code i have never seen before in any other common kernel branch).

Here you can get the source code:

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=sm-g110h

Some phone infos:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=6381&c=samsung_sm-g110b_galaxy_pocket_2_duos

regards
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
hmm good hint tycoo :good:

but ı looked a bit to specs of that phone and ı couldnt find cpu architecture

is this MSM based? or exynos? tegra?

if exynos or tegra, useless for us but if MSM based porting something will be absolutely easier

there is another phone which MSM based and running stock 4.4 kitkat with 512 MB Ram

LG L34C
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
Ok, looks like the phone is based on Spreadtrum SC8830A http://www.spreadtrum.com/en/products/basebands/view/sc8830a.

In my simple understanding, isnt it possible to perhaps use for example some memory management features introduced in this kernel though? Beside and separate to the parts that are specific for the special hardware base of the phone..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
not sure but all of chipsets based on ARM architecture should be using some common features(like memory management as you said)

you can try and see the result :good:

good luck ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yakovleff:
Caller app/Headset

Hi all again,

Version: 20140721

1. Bug title: Caller app does not work properly with a headset. (Genuine Samsung headset sold with the phone).

Probability of occurrence: HIGH (permanent)

Description:

- The phone does not react to any headset commands: Pickup a call/Hangup. Tested on 2 similar genuine headsets.

- When calling using a headset a call is always being sent with muted mic (see screenshot). It is always required to manually unmute the mic to speak.

Thanks again to the CM team. Hope it helps to improve the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
Haha, luck wouldn't be probably enough atm. Perhaps in another life, in which i am a pro developer like arne, there would be a chance for me to get this running. :laugh: ;)

Actual i see two approaches to bring the stuff together. One is to take the whole kernel and to add our specific drivers, settings, etc.. But this is definitely not in my field of view, what to pick, where to put and how..

The other way would be to start with a specific improvement i want to merge into our present branch. I already took a closer look into the kernel, but i am going to be lost in all the endless interdependencies. And even if i would factual know what exactly is needed or not, since there are no single commits i can grab, doing a proper and effective merge is very complex, currently too complex for my humble skills.

So sadly i have to hope and rely on our prestigious developers to have some time, the will and the ability to give it a try.

You know, i focused my efforts on the memory management from the beginning (and meanwhile i am indeed really satisfied with the lz4 zram) and as i explored the 3.10.17 kernel, i was really exited because of the the rewritten and highly improved lowmemorykiller there. For example you can find a new config option, bool "Android OOM Killer", described as: "This enables 'Android-Style oom-killer'. The way to select victim by oom-killer provided by linux kernel is totally different from android policy. Hence, it makes more sense that we select the oom victim as android does when LMK is invoked.", a directly and precise implementation of zram into the lmk, a new driver? named "RunTime CompCache v3",... Unfortunately i cannot process these on my own.

Btw. i am very impressed by your work you started for our phone again. Keep it on.

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] JohnProfic:
Same version here. I don't have genuine Samsung headset to test, but with simple single button headset bought for less than $10 I don't see this bug. Well, I remember one single time when mic was muted in outgoing call, but I think it was a fluke.

BTW I use Degauss to control phone with headset button, but all such apps I tried cannot modify default behavior of Caller app: short press to answer call or mute/unmute mic and long press to decline or end call. Player control works fine, except in sleeping mode it may take some time for the phone to react to a button press.

I have another bug: headset button stops working after any call made with headset plugged in.

The CM team is great to bring such fresh firmware to this rather dated device :).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yakovleff:
Perpetuum mobile

This night my "Wonder" became a Perpetuum mobile indeed!

After a battery calibration a phone gets its power from nowhere: After a USB cable was unplugged the phone was charged from approx 38 to 46 percent within 2 hours :). Have never seen such a phenomenon before - CM or Samsung firmware either.

CM team, I need CM11 for all my electric devices! :)

(Sorry if it's well known bug or feature - I'm an amateur android user :))
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
In general that is not such a good sign. Instead it may be a signal, that the battery becomes worse or damaged. I suggest to check and observe if your battery becomes bloated.

Error while using headphones

Recently upgraded to the latest ROM i.e 20140801, from 20140721, though find a lot of improvement from dialer to stock browser, but I've countered an error while using headphones on receiving call it didn't work, it may be not that of worry, but the other problem is definitely annoying me a lot, as I'm using Google now launcher, it works perfectly on the previous ROM 4.4.2, but on this ROM there a lag, when the headphones is connected and pressing the application drawer button it automatically opens Google now and the music player, where as on Trebuchet it works fine, no problem at all.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Hyst:
A friend of mine has the same thing with his s3mini (stock firmware and CM). He changed the battery without any success. When he tried to sent the phone in, the support team said that his usb-port is broken.

Bluetooth trouble

Hello,

reading through this thread I can see I'm not the only one who's having trouble with headsets and car audio systems via Bluetooth.

The thing is, that the problems seem to be inconsistent because sometimes some of the features work while most of the time they don't.

The phone doesn't connect to the car audio automatically, even though they are paired. I have to explicitely command the phone to connect. If I try to send the connect command from the car audio it will fail 75%

Dialing out from the car audio only works by 50% of all attempts

Reciving calls works 75%.

Terminating calls from the car audio fails 75%

When I switch on Bluetooth sometimes I get the message "com.bluetooth terminated" . It may be not exactly this message, as I type from memory, but something it this sense

Is there any chance of fixing these issues? Because other than this I really like the CM11 on my i8150

Regards

marhil

Cant install CM11

Hi everybody i had some problem when installing CM11.

I reboot into recovery mode and gt this message when i tried to update from sdcard.

Installation aborted.

Please kindly help me. Thanks

Try to do this steps:

enter CWM then:

select "wipe data/ factory reset"

go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!

under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 (external_sd) by mistake)

install gapps

reboot your phone

How to flash CWM recovery??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
WOW! It means that you flash a custom rom (cm11) using stock recovery? your awesome dude!!! just kidding :D

Anyways, just to these steps first:

1. Root your phone

[HowTo] Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy W (I8150)

2. Install CWM recovery	[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod v6.0.4.5

-use the flashing with odin since your stuck. Idk if there are other ways to do this but just try it.

-you to install the cwm recovery first before you can flash the custom rom.

3. Flash your the custom rom you like. Do a clean installation.

Edit: Btw, this is off topic so better move this to Q&A thread.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] friend5072:

20140902 (so far) perfect, no blue lines or other artefacts.

Lol, CM11 is experimental, if u want a stable room, go with CM9
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
Are you sure?

Cm11 is solid stable for me

And also i think there are lots of reason to use cm11

Cm9 is old and uses old pmem allocator and also uses 3.0 kernel

But cm11 is using upstream CAF based 3.4 kernel and also using ION memory allocator

We can use kernels which have 416 mb ram with cm11

And remember Google optimized android 4.4 for low mem devices(like our device)

And last thing where did you get "experimental" name?

Cm11 is already passed experimental stage

And its going to final release
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
+1 on that. For me, its just some minor tolerable bugs :)

Edit: Btw, I just hate fast battery drain when it goes below 40% (more or less)

Vibration problem

Hi,

my problem with CM11 is that Vibration do not work at all. I have [ROM][KK][4.4.4][KTU84Q] CyanogenMod 11.0 (20140902-UNOFFICIAL) (before 20140801).

I have tried to restore previous [ROM][JB][4.3.1][JLS36I] CyanogenMod 10.2 Alpha (Build 7 20140511) and it works - so no HW problem.

Also try to install Vibe app from PlayStore - nothing vibrate :(

Does anyone experienced the same problem (not found anything in forum)? Is there any "Service menu" or app to test vibration?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Xhemal1325:
LOL, well i cant say that CM11 is so bad, but for me ATM, wont take CM9 place, CM9 is way better than cm11 right now, there are some things that i hate on cm 11 like (browser is still bugy, so i need to replace that, camera is bad, so much time to take a photo, comparet to cm9, and some other stupit bugs), u cant suggest CM11 yet, someone who wants a stable rom !, and I can say that CM10.2, is better right now than CM 11, (an example : like facebook app, in cm 11 is still lagy, but in other 2 roms , no lag ), idk if u have tryid CM9 or CM10.2, but if no, try it and see youslef :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] henkmet:
Since you're quoting me, I didn't complain. Rather the opposite.

too bad.... what a critical and important bugs.... like buggy browser and bad camera.... and every other function is working as it should...

thanx for your suggestion man.... probably ı must return cm9...

heeyy everyone do not use cm11... rom is too bad ATM....

but stop we can use latest android with some minor bugs huh? (Most important THİNG)

we must gratefull to all contributors for making this possible

thanks to some brilliant developers this community has. Otherwise it would have been stuck on gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Xhemal1325:
I sayed it, thats for my opinion, , and yeah i didnt say that cm11 is soo bad, just not good enought at this time, !
