It's my turn to ask now:

Did anybody here have problems with the i9000 not being able to read the storage in the OS anymore?

It has begun a month ago. The phone displays warning "SD card damaged" in the status bar. At first, several reboots have helped. The phone first couldn't read the external SD card, then it could read the external but not the internal etc. After being rebooted few times, all was fine again, I haven't turned it off anymore.

Today it had a reboot and since then it can't read the storage anymore. Neither external nor internal. Reboots don't help ATM, I have rebooted it about 30 timea already.

All this time I must say: my storage is perfectly fine, not corrupted and perfectly readable in TWRP. I'm totally stock here without mods, on 1.7 build. So the recovery can read both storages w/o any problem all this time. Just the OS can't ATM.

Did anyone here face such problems and possibly also solved it? Thx in forward for useful hints.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
It could be a failing sd-card, although it is odd that it happens to both intern & external SD at the same time. But it is something new to me...

Anyway, you could try do fsck in TWRP to check the partition integrity.

Answer and report.

Hi!

My wife is using this ROM as a daily driver for about 6 weeks now without rebooting more than a couple of times.

She takes pics and has music stored on the external sd.

Just this morning i asked her if there were any problems.

But no. No problems here. Battery lasts 3 days mostly continuous use ... It can't be any better :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
My problem was solved easier than expected: reflashed rom.zip in recovery w/o any wipe.

Both storage perfectly accessible for the OS

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Great you got is solved, although it is always frustrating me if problems disappear without understanding them :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
Yes... I know you're a perfectionist :)

That is probably why we here admire your development :D

I would have created and posted ADB logcat and dmesg if the problem has persisted after reflashing the ROM.zip

Anyway, it is good we know now what to do if anyone else faces this, but AMAIK little crazy things happen on just each ROM, also on factory images. A simple settings conflict or so....

I am happy that my old i9000 still works fine and hardware is OK. The OS simply failed to prepare and mount storage. But in the TWRP, the storage was perfectly fine at all times.

Hi Kasper, I am back here with my sgs after a short time at slimkat ics with gear kernel. For history, I made factory reset and system wipe and I flashed your rom but I got error in recovery(something about prop etc).so I flashed Mackay ics kernel and then rom installed fine. Hope to enjoy it though I don't use the legend so much. Thank you

Low Storage error with 28 user apps

Hi all,

I downgraded from SlimKat due to people seeming to be so happy with this rom. Unfortunately I've hit the dreaded 'low storage' error.

Only 28 user apps installed thus far, not even my bare essentials and less than half of what I had on SlimKat.

I looked at /datadata with Storage Analyser and it shows only 8mb free in the overview but 67mb free when I click on the folder to view the details. Screenshot attached.

Do I have any other options besides the Datafix app in Play Store? I followed the Kasper's directions to the exact word to install.

I seem to have only 1 app that uses more than 20mb in that folder (my RSS reader) but there's no option in the app to move data to SD card. Moving the whole app to SD card seems to have no effect.

What am I doing wrong? I'm using Titanium Backup Pro to restore my apps. Could that have something to do with it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
In you case, using the datafix app from play store is probably the only solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RuffBuster:
Currently using this as my daily driver and loving it!

My only problem is trying to get long press menu to work. Has anyone else got this function to work? Cheers.

I fail to understand what exactly is your question, mate. Menu button functions? In general: many features of JB are missing here in ICS, but this ROM can be perfectly tweaked with Xposed framework modules.

I have no menu "button" on my I9000 / cm11.

But long-press HOME takes me to the app switcher or however it is called.

Should work with cm9 as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
LOL, misunderstanding! :D I tought on the button left of the "home" button, it is called "menu" button.

IDK the answer then, I void to use my hardware buttons and never explored what they can do.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RuffBuster:
I was on about long press menu capacitive button to bring up Google search. Its present on ginger bread and cm10+ but not cm9.. But looking around it seems to be a custom ROM feature for cm9.

I've managed to get around it by using a "button remapper" and changing the menu capacitive button to a search button and then use xposed to force the 3 dot menu from within apps. Not the best solution as some apps like my tapatalk app still don't show the 3 dot menu. I mainly did this to use "Slide Launcher".

Sent from my GT-I9000 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joedom1:
haha still misunderstanding!!

The capacitive button to the left of the centre Home key IS is the menu one. Long press in Kitkat (for example) brings up Search.

Long press Home is the recents...

I am presently trying kaspers KK Mackay so I cant remember if there is an option in this CM9 ROM to assign buttons to do things -even after having tried it for a reasonable time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fudduf:
Sadly, I'm continuing to have problems with this ROM. After running the datafix app for the first time, I lost all android system settings (don't know if that's normal). My lockscreen doesn't turn on anymore no matter which launcher I use (normally use Nova, but doesn't work in Trebuchet either). I've lost all functionality of the home button too. I've checked all lockscreen/system settings. I've tried reflashing the ROM, but nothing changes.

Worst of all, my GPS doesn't work (not related to datafix). I tried flashing the modem I was using when I was on SlimKat but no change.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Sounds like my old phone, showing dying. Anyway, it is always good to test stock ROM to be sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Anistruk:
A very big thanks for you kasper, with your rom had the fluid and functional phone in his last usage time, now that I've changed my terminal.

Switched to a Hongmi Xiaomi 1S, will you consider to make a rom for this? lol

Big thanks!! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s3nr1:
Do I need to do anything before(other than wiping/factory default/dalvik/etc) flashing this ROM from CM11? I tried flashing SlimICS and it wouldn't flash.

Thanks!:good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Pitreq:
The safest way to flash this CM9 is coming from Stock 2.3.6 and CF-Root. ;) Flashing directly from the CM11 can cause problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skerdzius:
Hello, I installed this rom just recently. So far I like it a lot. I miss a few features though. How can I make notification LED to blink rather than just turn on when I get a notification? And there isn't lithuanian language in input languages list, how can I add it in? I don't want third party keyboards, I want a stock one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Yes, the ROM is somewhat limited. That is both the advantage and downside at the same time. Nothing can be done about that easily. Xposed may help in missing features, but no idea whether that can be used for language.

Tv out working on this rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gargeya_369:
It actually works and it doesn't work...... This is because, when we connect a tv out cable and turn on tv out, the touchscreen doesn't work....

When we remove the cable, touch screen works...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fudduf:
Just a little update: I ended up having to give up on this ROM because my phone didn't like it for whatever reason. I did a factory reset and flashed Mackay KK ROM and the phone is much more responsive. All (including GPS) works except for one minor problem which I'll report in that ROM's thread. It's not lightning fast, but about as fast as my old SlimKAT ROM was but with better multitasking.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
DARKNESS is comming!

Guys, today is my totally lucky day, I just wanna share my new DARK experience with this ROM with other users.

OK, not to misunderstand: I am talking only about dark UI of the modded apps. ;)

So, as it is purely matter of taste, and I am really big fan of Slim, Carbon or other ROMs that use "real dark" themes.

Since I flashed this Mackay ICS 2014 on my i9000, it was for me clear that I no more want to miss its swiftness and speed. But the only thing I was honestly missing from SlimKat and [MENTION=3033992]kasper_h[/MENTION]'s awsome version of Omni was- the dark mode!

So now I have finally found really satisfying solution:

these guys in this thread have modded bunch of apps into the dark mode. And many of their apps are working on this ICS ROM!! :D:victory:

First you have to do is to install TeamBlackout Free app and to download all the modified apps. (I didn't try it on the i9000 but on other devices)

Maybe some of you will also like to replace some of the light themed apps with the dark ones. Toggle between light and dark like in SlimBean or SlimKat is not possible. Dark remains dark. Before installing those apps make sure to create a nandroid backup (I needed to restore mine...) and uninstall respective app from your phone first before installing its dark twin version. Some of the apps are flashable zip files and you have to flash them in recovery. So this is now my experience:

WORKS (with this ROM):

BlackGmail

BlackHangouts (flashable zip) uninstalling of "Hangouts Dialer" isn't necessary

BlackSkype

DOESN'T WORK (with this ROM):

Black Ebay

Black YouTube

I didn't try all other apps. Happy darkness!

P.S. I am attaching screenshots of all the apps available ATM, just unzip them, screenshots made on Nexus 7 were too big to upload directly.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lesleyAkhan:

My phone has randomly reverted to Orange network lock typically this expensive to unlock given the phones value now. I originally unlocked it with the Galaxy S Unlock app which I believe does the HEX edit of nv_data. The current nv_data still seems to show this, but GalaxSim Unlock app gives an error after trying to analyse nv_data to show the current lock status.

What are my options for restoring efs and trying again? I have no idea what I used as it was years ago, but the backed up efs folder contents are like so.

I never heard of a phone relocking itself, are you really sure this happened? Can't see how the ROM would have influenced this...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mooms:
Revert to a stock ROM then you should be able to unlock it using an Unlock app.

Network lock cannot have anything to do with the ROM.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] finite:
Yeah it seems the nv_data.bin got slightly corrupted. I thought it might be an antenna problem so I removed the socket & shorted the pins next I bought a replacement middle chassis. Initially it worked on an Orange sim, but not with GiffGaff (O2).

It's all sorted now and more than just an MP3 player once again. :good: I followed a guide on here to hex edit the original nv_data.bin and install it via terminal emulator.

Probably nowt to do with the ROM and more to do with the age of the phone, but there has been a lot of good general advice in this thread so I thought I'd try here first.

Is it possible to make status bar transparent?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tetakpatak:
I have faced "Storage getting low" problem, but it was quickly resolved by moving some apps to the extSD card just like recommended by [MENTION=3033992]kasper_h[/MENTION] in this post

Now I just have a question related to /datadata folder (which has indeed grown quite big):

now when some apps are moved to the sdcard1 (external), will those apps continue to fill up /datadata folder on the internal phone storage? Is there also way to move the files from /datadata folder elsewhere, or to execute command for the apps so they save their data elsewhere?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
As far as I know, apps moved to SD store their data also on SD.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Pitreq:
There are some variations of the kernel with bigmem and ultramem included. I tested it a long time ago but I came back to stock Mackay (396MB RAM) because bigmem and ultramem lacks some features I use.

Thanks. I did already know about TBO app and I've used it in the past with good results. But for some reason, when I try to open the app, I get the message "Unfortunately TeamBlackoutFree has stopped" I cannot open it at all. I have tried some old ICS inverted apps from when ICS was new. They have inverted my contacts but not the MMS or gmail. In fact when I try to run gmail it also says stopped too. It advises to uninstall Gmail. But you can't uninstall a system app!! I'm stuck!¬
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsatomas:
They have updated tbo updater and it should not crash now, if you get fc after download an app take it from root explorer. Gmail can be uninstalled with titanium but anyway it is problematic, better use k9 mail client (or seed)

The TBO updater app crashed each time after I've begun with download, but all downloads were successful although the app crashed. Try to clean app's cache and app data, it might work half way after that...

You can use SD Maid app to remove any system files or apps. It can also toggle autostart or cleanup useless app files (corpses).

I didn't manage to download it but its ok I tried again and I have got it. It says it will expire though in about 20 days I think it was. Whats app are annoying in that that won't let you use older versions of the app. Anyway I am pleased I don't think my phone has ever been this fast on any ROM. I have not tried KitKat but from what I read I don't want to with its various lags and bugs on phone ringing. I love the quickness of connecting the phone to the PC via USB on this ROM, the SD cards appear quickly unlike CM 10. I do think ICS is the way to go on the I9000, having accepted the limitations of the CPU and low RAM. Black ES File Explorer works too although the app warns you about using unofficial versions and tells you to download the one from its website.

Another update. Last night I got stuck in a bootloop at the orange droid logo after rebooting from recovery to back to system. I had to Odin it to stock JVU.... luckily I had done a backup the day before. No idea what had caused it I had not installed or flashed anything in recovery I was just showing the ROM and recovery menu to a friend. My black play store keeps updating to the white newer version 5.0.37 - whatever I do it keeps doing it, so annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that.?

Guys, just a little advice for all of you who freshly have installed this ROM: please move as many as possible apps to SD card right after installing the ROM, to prevent the overfilling of /datadata folder and avoid the problem of getting out storage.

Once it starts, it is quite nasty to get rid of.

I have got a question: my phone keeps having issues with WhatsApp, i am getting the error of messages "history" and each time that this happens i have to restore a backup and ofc as result i lose messages which i did not backup manually (I already do manual backups each time i remember).

Now , if it happens one or two times i can consider it normal but around 1 - 2 months it happened 6-7 times if not more.

I have already tried searching on google but as many of you know WhatsApp does not support Custom Roms at all. I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue ,do you?

Ps: Already tried uninstalling , cleaning etc but nothing resolved. I even tried cancelling some conversations and starting from scratch without any message. The issue is always here and is getting very boring.

I have reinstalled the rom two times and google didn't help me much.

EDIT:

The issue got solved itself , however i don't know how.

bootloop today after a few months of use, all data lost, furtunatelly i was able to flash stock jvu. Is there any alternative (quick and stable) rom to this one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RuffBuster:
should have just flashed semaphore kernel TAR version from Odin would most likely have gotten you out of boot loop without losing data.

I've had random boot loops with many ICS roms, but I feel this has something to do with kernels. has happened to me with mackays, devil and some others. But with semaphore ICS kernel I have yet to suffer any boot loops. Not going to recommend other roms on someone else's rom thread, but there are many decent roms bouncing around.

[MENTION=3033992]kasper_h[/MENTION] thank you for devoting your time to our aging devices! Have a question regarding building & source. Have you pushed all your changes to github? Hoping to build this kernel and noticed that your latest commit (ea15959) bumps kernel version to 1.3 while the one attached to the first post is labelled as 1.7. Also, do you have it configured to build inside of CM9 source as many guides recommend or have you managed to get it to build w/o cloning the entire (huge) CM9 ICS repo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I don't have any newer sources anymore. I build it all as part of cm9 in that repo, so that indeed requires the whole source code.
