[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ZeroXtreme:
Hmmm.... that is very strange... it works flawlessly with my device, although you got a Vario and I got a K-JAM, maybe some difference in the ROM... or maybe conflict with some other software on your device...

I have been using Spb Pocket Plus on all my devices, Walaby, Himalaya, and now a Wizard, havent really had a problem where it reset. I'm not too sure of the names of other programs that have an "X" button that works like Pocket Plus, but there should be some out there.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliatan:
When I tried CM 10.0 & 10.1 (stables) the roms functioned oké, but terrible battery life with their own CM-kernel. That was fixed with both roms after changing the kernel to Semaphore which gave much more batterylife. (I never use FM, but with Semaphore manager among others FM can be switched on and radio worked on my SGS1 tested with Spirit FM).

However each time after trying new CM I tried latest stable Slim Bean (which has Semaphore-kernel included) and never looked back. For me Slim Bean blew CM totally out of the water concerning performance and batterylife. (Stability both good by the way). And very nice options in rom such as Real Dark Slim.

Now I am strongly concidering trying Mackay 4.4 (instead of SlimKat bèta). Not only because I want KitKat on my i9000. As it appears to function better with our low RAM. Especially the very alive community around it tickles my curiousity.

Anyone has experience with both Slim and Mackey? How does performance, stability and batterylife differ between them? And which of Mackey's function better? Omni- or CM-based?

I don't know with KK (yet) if also working, but CM-JB with Semaphore kernel instead of CM-kernel and Semaphore Manager one can switch on FM Radio and use Spirit FM. Most likely there is a thread for KK.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanakamura:
My SGS has had almost all possible roms. After 3 years of changing roms. I've go back to almost Stock version of 2.3.6 XWJW8 with semaphore kernel 2.7.4. with smart launcher 2. It is fast enought.

And what is most important it works more than few days without update.

So i if you need stable phone I suggest to check this setup
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barbosanna:
You can't just say what's the best rom because every rom it's different just like the users and how they use their phone.But if you wanna know some quick facts here we go:

Stock GB has the best battery because it lacks feature and with a good kernel it can be pretty fast.

Now talking about custom roms :

ICS, in my opinion has better battery than JB or KK. Free ram is pretty high,second place,first is KK.More features than GB not so many as JB or KK

JellyBean : not much of a big fan but i can say that 4.1.2 was by far the best from all the versions.The battery and resources consumption was fair and has more features than the precedents.

KitKat is my favourite.The battery consumption it's ok and it has more free ram than any other android versions and the features are just great.

As for kernel i'm a big fan of Stratosk's Semaphore kernel.No matter what rom i use the kernel is the same.

If you wanna try custom KitKat rom you can try these ones(these are the only ones that i have tested like 2 to 4 weaks each)

SlimKat - Very very smooth just like all their custom roms.Nice features like TRDS, SlimPie and others. Ram usage is good but the battery is draining a little fast for me but this is just my case and maybe others have different experience.

Mackay's Kitkat - This is also a very nice kitkat rom.it's smooth it has good features but just like the one above, i don't like the battery and after some time it became a little laggy.

C-Rom - This is the last one which i'm using right now.I love this one.Ram usage is good , i like the battery( i can get over 19 hours) ,it has great features.Never felt my i9000 so smooth.

My test where done with 3g/wifi on all the time,more than 3 hours screen time,music for 2-3 hours,facebook,whatsapp and others(daily).Some of the apps are greenified and some frozen.

Hope this helps you ! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qiahmed66:
yepi !!!!

I too like xwjwb + semaphore 2.7.4, after trying many kitkat, this and that.........one more saurom v2 + ICS theme + transperent menu+ additional settings works best, fast smooth reliable with much more time on battery.(I try 2/3 roms on daily basis)

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

YES

C-rom kit kat is best in many manners.......I've tried S4 style MK 4.2.2 (now running on my i9000) find best in battery, speed, gaming, and it has beautiful appearance, previously I tried different versions of MIUI........ very captative but almost in chinese....... if someone know its complete version of english then please let me know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliatan:
Sounds interesting to try C-Rom then. SlimKat 3.0 Official runs good and smooth here, but indeed battery life (not idle/sleep, but) when using is wildly guessing at least about 33 percent less than my favorite JB before Slim Bean 4.3.1 last stable/official. Music/podcasts for instance at least two hours less battery time. And in every KK thread you read about bad battery life.

On a site note. My 'modern' Nexus 7 2013 with stock Android also performed better on JB than KK. A clean flash of factory rom and factory reset didn't help. For example battery life (active with screen on time and/or playing music/podcast) JB 4.3.1 was 12-13 hours. KK 4.4 had 8-9 and now KK 4.4.2 does 10-11 hours. The contrary of media srories about KK being better optimized and lower on resources and Ram. And I read a lot simular experiences around the net.

So I was considering on SGS1 going back to JB, but first try Mackay's ICS 2014. Perhaps I'll give C-rom first a chance. And perhaps if it arrives meanwhile newest SlimKat stable. When still battery life not as good as JB before, definitely ICS 2014 or Slim Bean again.

ics, jb or kk will do.

im currently running on cm10.2-20130826-nightly-galaxysmtd build (first sgs phone i have), it says on my voodoo app that it has a built in voodoo sound but i cant really hear the improvement (weak volume) over my other sgs with gb 2.3.5. + voodoo sound app from playstore (another sgs i bought from an online store).

some of the forum i visited says there is a tab for the wolfson dac on the dsp manager but i have non on my sgs running a custom rom.

i also tried installing a semaphore kernel but no luck, my sgs says that

no need to load module

built in kernel voodoo sound: v.0

"device or kernel not suppported.... "

any recommendations?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkCase:
In the last few days Samsung has been pushing out Android 4.4.2 to flagship devices like the Galaxy

Note III and Galaxy S4. Unfortunately, Google implemented an SD card write restriction in the latest

Android version which can be quite annoying for users with an SD card in their phone.

The new “feature” basically restricts apps from writing to external SD cards. This can be quite

annoying, because many users want to store apps on a secondary SD card instead of the main storage

unit.

Luckily, how to fixing this problem can be easily done if you have root access. Here’s how you can do it

(Please be aware that you’re performing these changes on your own risk!):

Make sure that you have root access

1. Perform a NANDROID backup to be completely safe

2. Use a root-enabled file manager and navigate to /system/etc/permissions

3. Edit platform.xml and find “WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE“

4. Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />

5. Save the changes and restart your device

6. You are now able to write on your external SD card again

I hope that I was able to help you.

I'm having the same problem too. I've e-mailed the developers of MyBackup Pro to see if they've got any ideas.

It says MyBackup Pro 4.0.9 fixes KitKat issues, it doesn't fix this one!

I will if I have to but I don't want to or see why I should have to, effectively break (root) my Galaxy S4 just to backup to SD card when it worked fine with Jellybean 4.3. I don't need Root access otherwise :mad:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None of this is mentioned in Google's KitKat Release Notes or on-screen when the Samsung Update Notification appeared. So far KitKat has broken for me:

1. SMS Backup+ prior to KitKat could restore SMS messages back to the phone, it can still back them up but not restore :mad:

2. LG G Pad's QPair It still works but used to be blue when connected, white when not connected. Now that everything is white (:mad:), it's grey when not connected and white when connected. No where near as clear.

3. MyBackup Pro can no longer backup to SD card :mad:

Being able to backup to SD card is obviously crucial! :mad:

I've seen zero benefits from going from Jellybean 4.3 to Kitkat.

For those that missed it in the 1st post:

PLEASE PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WITH SAFESTRAP!!

MAKE A BACKUP OF STOCK RIGHT AFTER YOU GET SAFESTRAP INSTALLED SO THAT YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF DISASTER RECOVERY.

THEN YOU CAN RESTORE IT TO A ROM-SLOT (AFTER YOU MAKE ONE).

ONLY MODIFY ROM-SLOT FILES. LEAVE YOUR STOCK ROM ALONE!!

KNOWN ISSUES WHEN USING ROM-SLOTS (The ROMs are kept on loop device mounted partitions)

1. In theory you will lose an extra 3-4 percent battery compared to normal usage from 100% to 0% due to the extra read/write work involved when using ROM-slots.

2. The /data partition is kept separate from the "/sdcard" contents on SS ROMs. This causes the Storage settings to only show the size of the loopback data partition and then it shows "used" which includes the "sdcard" + /data so this can look odd at times (larger usage than partition size). It doesn't have any adverse affects that I know of.

3. No custom kernel flashing support at this time. Don't try it. It won't work. All kernels need to be signed by Amazon at the moment.

CHANGELOG:

Alrighty then! I guess you had it covered! I wondered why I never got a response. At any rate, if anyone has any issues or if you need any further bug testing, feel free to let me know [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] .

As I dig further into the HDX framework, bootloader & kernel it seems like I find some new roadblock that Lab126/Amazon has thrown into the mix.

One last question. I am unfamiliar, totally unfamiliar, with Safestrap. I assume it lives in it's own partition, & recovery calls are redirected there? Does that mean I can remove it & restore the main partition to default size, then use the build.prop hack to return to stock? Or is safestrap modification to partitions semi-permanent?

EDIT: Nevermind, I did a little reversing & checked out your blog. Needless to say, I answered my own question.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Hashcode:
If at any point you decide you need a larger userdata or cache partition, you can:

- run a backup of the rom-slot

- delete it

- then create a new rom-slot w/ the right sizes

- and finally restore the backup to it (after making sure it's active)

So short answer: no real "wrong" sizes. Can stick w/ the defaults if unsure.
