switching to back to stock ICS

Hi guys,

Today I tried to switch back to Indian ICS rom from Omni rom 3 March build. I flashed stock rom using odin 3.09 it show "pass" but my phone now stuck on samsung logo for 15 min. what should I do? it's not booting properly any suggestion :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Nikhil:
rooting has nothing to do with systemUI, perform a clean install and make sure you are flashing correct file for rooting (refer link provided in OP if not sure).

Doesnt seem any, Refer OP for bug list. The one you mentioned is not included in bug list ergo there is no problem with it.

Refer this, you are on 2nd step.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] desifreek0:
AS per your suggestion I did the clean reflash. After flashing all works well till i root it. After rooting first reboot my launcher will crash on start. followed by scanning sc card for error notice which never disappears. So for sure it is has to do with the rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] aniruddha.sanyal:
Even I am facing the same problem...but I flash the root along with the ROM update by adding zip in TWRP, so cant tell if its due to flashing the root, but when I flash the root and the ROM update, everything is fine in the 1st boot...but when I reboot the SustemUI apk crashes and the sd card scanning notification doesn't disappear and it all started from the update on 26th Feb.

The camera is working fine, except, there is no option to choose the storage media and all the pics are stored in the ph mem by default.

Other than these probs, its a wonderful ROM, I have been using it since 15th Feb and I am really satisfied. Thanks Karthik and everyone else who contributed.

Nikhil

I am not only one who has this issue. So Please let us know how to fix it or what is work around or this is another issue.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karthik050782:
Can you guys post the logcat... I want like below:

Log 1: After clean install

Log 2: After first reboot

By this i can exactly see where it is going wrong...

Hi Karthik

This is the log after I attached the flash drive through OTG.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Nikhil:
I am not developing this Rom, Karthik is. So if you are expecting any fix, karthik will be the one who will work on it.

I am just helping here based on my knowledge and experience.

I am on 18th Feb build, dont have any issue. I recommend you to flash that build if you are facing issues with current build. :)

P.S If you are facing any issue, reporting bug with logcat helps developers. So kindly share logcat too :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] aniruddha.sanyal:
Hi Nikhil...thanks 4 the reply...as I said, I started facing probs since the 26th Feb build...I know going back is an option but am hoping that future updates are as bug free as possible...:)

Karthik, One question is bugging since long time!

Is mass storage a device specific bug or Omni Source doesnt has any option for it?

Karait thanks for your work

i can enjoy more stable performance now

But karait question forward

1.Does the omni plan to correct our media_codecs.xml in system/etc inorder to let us can decode the wma and wmv with hardware decoder?

2 How about the candy crush issues

when I was playing it always keeps on flashing the screen while I was unable to play the game

3 .How about the more smooth UI performance?because sometime the gui still a bit lagging when using ondemand CPU govenor

4how about the mass storage on recovery TWRP 2.6.1 it still can't mount our chip as USB storage

4Some time when turn off the scteen for a while when I return on and touch the screen is not working touch screen no reponding However the phone has not hanging or dead slee,How to solved?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Aniket.t20:

Incorrect mounting point of External Sd Card (MicroSD)?

I've seen that most of the apps cannot detect our external sd card (MicroSd)

For example:

1. App Backup & Restore specifically shows this warning: "No removable storage mounted"

2. Another app which I'm using is Spy Camera OS (Open Source) This app also cannot detect our external card and so we're forced to use internal memory for video recording, which is not sufficient.

I'm sure there are other apps having same problem...

Anyway, after looking around with other handsets and their mound points, I think I've found the reason behind this problem.

The mount point of external sdcard in other mobiles (4.1+) is: /storage/extSdCard

However, in our device it is mounted as: /storage/sdcard1 and additionally, its also mounted as /extSdCard (Not inside the Storage)

I'm not sure whether this is device specific issue or a common problem with Kitkat version, but I think if we manage to change those mount points to: /storage/extSdCard it should work as intended.

Does anyone know how to do this??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] akshayprbhu:
The recent builds are pre rooted and no need of flashing the root zip file. (I had done a clean install today and found this)

The storage setting for camera is now available! (THANKS!!) :good: :laugh: :D

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

no such issues here, all the apps that I use are able to detect external media..

The external media is mounted as /sdcard1 and I cannot see any /extSDcard in my file browsers on my device

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Can you try it with 7/3 or 8/3/2014 builds.. as I noticed this issue on these builds
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karthik050782:
Now official build should have WiFi tether fix... Can anyone confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Nikhil:
9th March build! No it was buggy. I faced systemui FCs and Sdcard notification not disappearing after reboot. I Reverted back to homemade build and now everything is working.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Mr.Spummy:
[MENTION=4393631]karthik050782[/MENTION] can you add lockscreen notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
I know there are apps working perfectly well by detecting the correct path of external sdcard.

However, there are many apps out there, which simply tries to detect the card at /storage/extSdCard (I'm not sure about this, but that is the only reason I can think of)

So, will you or anyone else please check the same with this app "App Backup & Restore (by INFOLIFE LLC)"

I've attached the screenshot of this app for reference...

I've attached a screenshot taken from ES Explorer showing the /extSdCard mount point along with /external_sd

Can anyone else confirm this please?

Am I the only one having this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karthik050782:
Just seen the app in play market... Many reported this bug... So report the bug in play market, may be the app team work on this..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
Hey Karthik,

thanks for your reply and thanks for this awesome rom...

I'll report the bug as suggested and wait for the developer's answer/explanation.

But there are other apps having the same issue like: Spy Camera OS (Open Source)

And considering the fact that other mobile phones have different mount point for external media (i.e. /storage/extSdCard)

I'm still wondering why does this rom mounts the external media as sdcard1? and not as extSdCard

is there any specific reason?

Besides, I've searched net for answers a while ago and I read somewhere that sdcard0, sdcard1 and so on... are still considered as internal memory of device (also called as secondary storage)

[MENTION=4393631]karthik050782[/MENTION] Is systemUI crashing Fix implemented in Official build? as I flashed todays build and it was still crashing.

Couldnt take logcat as my computer didnt recognize my device and was showing offline when I entered "adb devices" :confused:

What is going wrong!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
Those mount points are intentional. I decided to have it this way back in CM10.1 days. This way it's both compatible with standard JB as well as Samsung config. As long as environment variables are set properly, it's the application's fault. However I don't know how the KK changes were implemented, storage configuration changed a bit.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vasudevk03:
+1 same here..:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] akshayprbhu:
even i got the same error as in your screenshots..

in settings, the storage location can be manually altered to /storage/sdcard1/folder name

many users on the play store who are running on kitkat os builds have complained of the same issue.. must be some fault in the os itself...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
Well can't say for sure whether its an OS issue or not. But the thing is, there are many apps having this problem and all those apps are working perfectly fine on other OS or stock roms.

BTW, when you changed the storage location to /storage/sdcard1/folder name in App Backup & Restore, does the app saved that path?

Because, I tried that option long before posting this issue here, but I have to change it every single time after relaunch.

Besides, later I found many other apps having trouble finding our external sd card (SpyCam OS for example)

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] whatever7276:
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but this code does not create/mount the external card at its usual path (as seen in other devices) i.e.: /storage/extSdCard

FYI, I can already access the external storage at following paths:

/storage/sdcard1

/mnt/extSdCard

/extSdCard

/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1

/external_sd

Note: The extSdCard is not inside the "/storage" instead its mounted at the root ("/")

could this be the cause of this problem?

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
[MENTION=4798035]whatever7276[/MENTION]: extSdCard is not the usual path at all. It's a Samsung change because they can't just go with Android standards. The standard path is sdcard1, I added extSdCard to stay compatible with the stock rom. Since all environment variables are set up well, it must be the app's fault.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] aaa839:
karthik will you do the usb mass storage fix on both rom and twrp

The most critical need to be fixed is TWRP,because when I want to transfer some fix to repair some problem(bootloop) in recovery enviroment

it let me a huge trouble,the only way is flash ODIN,doing the factory reset,flash twrp and rom...

so annoying...

I don't want to any complain on your rom,because you are doing the great jobs for our phone

However could you lower the system memory usage by modified the build.prop

the current setting is not very optimal,Aslo cause a huge lag on my device

(I was always doing multitasking on my usage)

For example when I open the facebook and opera together,it very easy to handle the OOM to kill some important process

I have installed the avira security on my phone too,but it always getting killed by OOM due to other process eat up many ram as they did

it cause the avira cannot carry out the update base on the schedule time(due to it got killed by OOM),each time it get killed,the apps will reset it's own checking dates..

that completly annoying!

Also the screen

I search around the forum and modified the build.prop

I want to lower the dalvik usage of each apps

so lower the value of these lines in build.prop

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=2m

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=48m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=64m

Default>128m like an memory hork

it should match of my usage

However after modified the above setting(heapszie),it cause my phone stuck at boot loop...

How could I adjust the dalvik to limit it not using too much ram

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] aaa839:
karthik I have a great news for you

I solved the candy crush problem myself

the problem is related to the egl libirary

at default content in egl.cfg

You will see these line

0 0 android

0 1 tegra

which is default of the rom

I remove the first line in the files

just keeps 0 1 tegra in egl.cfg

now no more crashes/screen flasing when candy crush

this method is force the gpu as the first composition device

Hope it can help for you

but beware of that this hotfix could possbily make some apps not working and use a bit more battery

I think is the problem related to the rom how to choose the correct hw/sw render device

I still searching about the media-codec.xml

i try to add the line of decoding wmv and wma

but it seems the rom missing the important hw decoder with wma and wmv

Gameing fix

Warning:

Before you apply this fix,you should do backup of your system in the recovery

As we know Karthik is try his best to make our phone enjoy the kitkat

however he may not have much time on fixing some problem

so I create this fixes for those who are facing the gaming issues

How it works:

I modified the egl.cfg files to force the system use our tegra 2 gpu library instead of google GL library as the primary render device

as we know the gpu render is faster than cpu

The Pros:

you may face have a bit smooth game play and GUI animation

fixing some game just using the cpu instead of Gpu to render

the system will load the tegra gpu driver only

The Cons is

=>It could use a bit more battery

because it force on gpu

(depends on how many apps you are using)

=>Some apps will got some FC or comparabilities issues(I havent test many apps,but on my situation is not a big chance)

=>If you are using touchwiz launcher

the launcher UI action may a bit lagging (I donyt know why)

=>System/some apps cannot determinate or trigger to use the software or hardware render to render the apps itself

All of them will be force on gpu render device

If you modified the files incorrectly ,you may brick your device or cause a boot loop

How to apply:

=> Method 1:Using rootexplorer

Open the rootexplorer

Direct to system>lib>egl

Modified the folder permission From RO to RW

Open the egl.cfg

You should see the content same as the below

0 0 android
0 1 tegra

remove the line of 0 0 android and move the 0 1 tegra as the top of the line

you should see like that

0 1 tegra

after modified,save the files and reboot your device

(if you think you are facing any comparabilities problem,adding back the lines of 0 0 android at the top of the 0 1 tegra)

=>Method2. Flashing in recovery

Download the fixgames.zip in the attachment

Place it into your sdcard or internal storage

reboot your device into recovery mode and flash the zip files

Wait until it finishing

Finally reboot your device

=>Revert hotfix

I create one more zip files

in the attachment

fixgamerevert.zip

this is for someone who are facing the bootloop issues after the hotfix or want to revert back as default

I recommend all of you should download this files too and place it into your sdcard or internal storage before you applying the hotfix

this is seriously,this is seriously you are facing any adnormal situation or bootloop,you still could use this zip to revert your device back to normal

Remark:

I do not answer any question about this fix,unless the flashable zip files not working

Use at your own risk

This is just an temporally fix,

All of us should wait karthik to provide a final solution

Improtant Notices:

I test again today,Someone who are facing the flash screen of candycrush with facebook connect problem

After applying the fix,You have to rotate your device as horizontal,when you playing the candycrush

But you can't rotate it back as Vertical position,otherwise the games will cause your screen FC or broken
