A few observations

After some time of using my i927 I've got a few observations.

First observation

System doesn't restore some settings after reboot. A couple of examples:

- I usually turn off physical keyboard to make the system show virtual keyboard automatically when given applications displays a field to enter text.

I would like this settings to be remembered, but after reboot, it is not.

- i927 has rather enough RAM for running applications (1GB), but we can have more. The more is the better :)

KitKat by default takes more RAM than needed by having permanently turned on the option "Force high-end graphics" in Performance settings.

By default you can't see this option, but try to edit the following file /system/build.prop

and add this line at the end:

ro.config.low_ram=true

This will make Android not to use more RAM for things like showing transparent status bar and some more IMO not necessary look&feel things.

I just want them to be turned off.

But after reboot we completely loose this setting and have to set it from scratch.

I know that there are applications, which let us automate almost any "process" in Android, but above two things should be remembered by system itself in my opinion.

Second observation

Google maps - when in Google Maps and after launching any other app and then go back to Google Maps, we get black content instead of map. One have to exit maps and relaunch them once again. Can we somehow address this issue?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
you can put this on /system partition ( /system/build.prop )

The latest gmaps has this issue, I dont know any solution.

For more ram, you can enable zram ( search app from store ) and ksm ( settings -> performance -> memory management -> kernel samepage merging).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] irekd:
That's exactly what I'm doing, but it seems build.prop and other setting are being restored occasionally. Don't know why and from. I've searched the whole system directory on my i927 and I didn't find any original (before my changes) copy of build.prop file.

By the way, what is the original ROM you cook this one (our) from? Is it Google AOSP or you take for instance CM11 for Galaxy S2 and do some changes? If so, perhaps we could ask S2 developers if they do have similar problems with maps and other problematic things like eg. taking photo rotating issue.

If I remember correctly ZRAM relays on packing and unpacking data on the fly, so it increases amount of accessible RAM, but in the same time it increases CPU usage (pack/unpack) and this makes battery is discharging faster. I prefer not to use this method.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] stormdude124:
Unlike other phones our CPU doesn't support neon instructions required by latest google maps :/ a few other apps require this (like the latest spotifiy) the only solution now is an older version or hopefully google will make a fix
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
Compiled from source.

Gmaps compatible with neon, but issue something in nvidia's video driver. I dont know this issue exists on another tegra 2 base device.

I have some random huge battery drain, over 20% during the night. WakelockDetector shows l2_hsic as cause. It seems many Samsung devices are affected by this. There is a possible fix but includes kernel modification. Can you please take a look and implement the fix is possible?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41338478&postcount=1
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
replaced those 2 files, and builded. You can find it in test directory.

Try it and report back.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
Downloading it now. Since the drain is random, I'll need few days to test. Thanks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SillyB:
On 4.2.2 I had fairly frequent random reboots, mostly related to the camera app. Since upgrading to 4.4.2 I think I have only experienced 1 or two random reboots. I haven't gone to 4.4.4 yet, only because I downloaded the newest build from the old http://rpi.bubor.hu/bubor/dev/11.0/ instead http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/11.0/ (I figured that they were mirrored). I would suggest that some third party app might be to blame. Have you isolated any circumstances related to the reboots?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] S-trace:
Hello, dear bubor.

Here is logcat for random reboot on CM11 4.4.4 (cm-11-20140725-UNOFFICIAL-i927.zip): http://pastebin.com/HMhZYRS0

Hope it can help You to fix it!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Androide3:
I have random reboots in all roms, and I know happens to other too, so maybe could be a hardware problem with the power button...sorry for my English...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] S-trace:
This reboot happened right when I'd entered text using on-screen keyboard.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
[MENTION=4727726]S-trace[/MENTION]

I didn't look at the log, but do you have any VOIP apps installed? I had random reboots with Skype installed, and it stopped after I removed it.

[MENTION=5112223]bubor[/MENTION]

Battery drain is less now, l2_hsic is not showing up anymore. But now I have 10% over night. BetterBatteryStats shows that phone was 92% of time in deep sleep, but phone still used 10%. Also, when I go to Settings->Battery, Android System is always first on the list, indicating it uses battery the most. But when I select it from the list Keep Awake and CPU total shows only few minutes. Since phone was so long in deeps sleep, Cell standby should be first. Any idea what is happening here? I already tried with full wipe, but it's still the same.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Androide3:
Great battery life here , thank you mister :thumbup:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
I just discovered what else was draining my battery. It's Google Play Services. I didn't want to downgrade to test if some other versions don't drain, and because I need latest for Google Seach, so I used permissions to solve the issue. I denined the Google Play Services to wake the phone and to keep it awake, and voila, no more battery drain. BetterBatteryStats show more deep sleep, and awake time is almost same as screen on time. Even in Setting->Battery, Android OS is not first anymore, now it's Cell Standy as it should be.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] irekd:
Hi, since some time (build 20140822) I think after google play update I've got a problem with YouTube. It force closes all the time the video starts. I thought it will get improve after clean install the newest 20140911 build, but unfortunately it's not. YouTube still force cloces the same way I described above. Anyone has similar problem? Oh didn't mentioned that I'm not installing any gapps in case of Bubor's builds as they contains playstore by default. Perhaps however should I install gapps?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
you must downgrade youtube, already reported the latest doesnt work.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] irekd:
OK, I downgraded to 5.7.41 (from 1st July 2014) as [MENTION=4886531]mara-[/MENTION] wrote here that it's tha last working version of YouTube. But it still force closes.

Perhaps it's worth mentioning that it stopped working for me somehow like at the beginning of September, so youtube 5.7.41 must have worked for me before, but it doesn't want to work now.

As I wrote I did install latest CM11 build in the clean way, so all in all it looks like it's YT is not a culprit.

Any additional advice? Perhaps I should install gra kernel. Are you guys having YT working on standard kernel installed together with the ROM?

Edit: I even installed 5.7.38 (from 12th June 2014) and it still FC :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Makshow:
I confirm that Youtube 5.7.x is crashing, so is the 5.6.x and 5.5.x... Then I gave up, installed some oldie Youtube 5.2.27 and found that it's working fine. Anyway, new youtube design was not that great.

On topic: newest CM11 build is not very stable. I can't find the nature of the problem, but after clean install of 20140911 build I have to reboot rather often, may be even every day. Twice it was sleep of death (right when I came home: seem to be Wi-fi related, when phone disconnects from GPRS and connect to Wi-fi). Once the phone lost the mobile baseband (never happened this before), and once it told me that I have unrecognizable SIM card. And sometimes android starting to eat all free RAM, closing every program, awfully lags and then completely freezes.

If the 20140822 version has a battery drain issue, I recommend to use cm-11-20140725 - it worked for me almost for two months without much problem.

Dear bubor, can you update CM11 build once more? May be there was some bug that causes RAM drain that is fixed already.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] irekd:
Thanks for checking this out. I'll get back to version you mantioned.

EDIT: 5.3.32 WORKS FINE!

Clean install the latest build makes the "Performance>Memory management>Allow purging of assets settings" ticked by default. I can't remember how it was in previous builds, but usually I untick such things and advice you to do so. I installed latest build yesterday evening and didn't have any reboot since then.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
Actually, YouTube has some strange behaviour. My report was wrong. I have latest version running now. But from time to time it starts to crash and I have no idea why. First time I solved it by downgrading until I found working version, and I thought I solved the problem. After a while even that version started to crash. So, I decided to do a full wipe, because I had some other issues to. After this, latest YouTube started to work. Few days ago, I again discovered that YouTube is crashing. This time I used TitanimBackup to uninstall it, and I downloaded it again from PlayStore and for now it works fine.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] grtsarav:
The same happens to me with maps app the latest version works sometimes and not the other times......

How similar are the roms for the galaxy r (i9103) and the captivate glide (i927)?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Androide3:
What is the problem with youtube ? I used the app yesterday without problems
[Samsung Captivate Glide] stormdude124:
Direct Download to youtube 5.3.32

For anyone trying to find a youtube apk that works

here's a direct link to 5.3.32 :D

I made a list of apps that need older versions of the app to work on my guide.

Please post any other apps that don't work and I'll try find the latest versions that do.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] irekd:
There is a nice site androiddrawer.com, which contains lots of google play apps in their newest and older versions. You could add the link to OP.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] stormdude124:
Thanks I'll check it out :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Makshow:
cm-11-20140919 is solid, thanks bubor! No need for reboot since install. Battery life is very good, 80% on 8.30 hours of constant use (2 hours of calls, music, video, web all other time).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
Anyone else have a problem with distorted and slowed down sound? It happens sometimes during playback of recorded messages in WhatsApp or during ringing on incoming call.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] stormdude124:
Are you using tiny alsas (Skype fix)?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
No, I don't. I used it before when trying to automate it, but since it didn't work I stopped using it. And I just checked by running command and it was on stock library. Any other ideas?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] stormdude124:
That's the problem, just set it to VoIP call mode and just change it when your making a call,incoming calls aren't affected
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
So you are saying that stock library is only for GSM calls, and tiny alsas is for everything else? I don't think I had this issue before, it started with some build, but I don't know which.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] stormdude124:
Yes basically :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
Well, that was not the case for me. I'm using bubor's build since I got the Glide a year ago and I never ever had this issue and I always used stock library. Maybe bubor can shead some light on this?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Androide3:
Its posible add GPU overlock to kernel? Sorry my english
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
I finally found what was the problem with the sound. It was Google Now Launcher which is relying on Google Search which is not working properly same reason why Skype is not working. As soon as I returned to stock home screen, sound became normal again.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
you need to replace kernel, gk kernel is gpu overlocked
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ronaldteune:
Does anyone have GPS working on 20140911 without gapps? I changed quite a few things (new ROM, removed most of gapps manually, half-dirty flash, installed firewall - I did try disabling it, changed gps settings according to Kombatant - but he's changed his settings since the last time I tested). Before I go through the process of debugging it all, I'm wondering if someone has the same problem. I don't get NMEA messages in 'GPS NMEA tool', so it seems to be something low level?
[MENTION=5112223]bubor[/MENTION]: I saw your gapps remover, nice! I'll give it a try to remove all gapps.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Makshow:
GPU is already overclocked here from 300 to 400 (maybe the reason why battery in games drains sooo fast).

GPS is working on mine 20140919. No problems at all, GPS fix is very fast and stable (I use "GPS toolbox and status" app also, but it's not necessary).

20140919 build is rather stable, but sometimes phone is hanging when going from wi-fi to gprs or vice versa. The only issue I found with month of using.

Will try new 20141012 build, thanks bubor for keeping it alive!

Switched over from OmniROM to latest CM11 (Full wipe)

Having issues with "Deep Sleep" (exaplined below)

Many callers complain that i don't answer the call despite several Rings.

However on my phone i would not have received any call. Nothing shows up in call log also..

Is there any setting that needs to be changed ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
That's really strange. I had that issue with stock ICS, and this ROM fixed the issue.

Anyway, can someone refresh my memory, since I sold the phone and have one complaint. Keyboard backlit apparently does not work. Is there some setting for it or is it affected by the sensor and maybe the person who bough it is not in dark room?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] JohnTheHero:
I can confirm that this issue is still present in latest build. Tested it for couple of days on i927 from AT&T.

Also I experienced many hangs. Went back to sediRom.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
what modem firmware do you use?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] JohnTheHero:
It is AT&T I927UCLJ3.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] PghSportsGuy:
Greetings bubor. I have been using your ROM's for quite some time now and everything has worked well except for one issue. When I use Google voice commands or seems that the Google Search app always crashes. The question I ask always shows up/is recognized but that's as far as it goes. No matter what I ask the voice search app always crashes. Is this a known issue or do I need to adjust a setting somewhere?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mara-:
You need to install older version of Google Search. You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2623635
[Samsung Captivate Glide] PghSportsGuy:
That did the trick! Thank you.[emoji1]
[Samsung Captivate Glide] PghSportsGuy:
Has anyone else experienced am issue with sluggish audio? When I launch Google Play or any music streaming service it plays fine until I launch another app or even leave that particular site. Once the switch to play music in the background is in effect that is when the audio is very sluggish and I have to restart the service or player. This happens for downloaded music as well. I don't use the Google Launcher at all so I ruled that out, I use Nova Prime. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Tabo8226:
hello, when will new build? ^_^
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
I've already done new version, but I dont have hardware to test them.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Tabo8226:
Upload and we will test it. i think there shouldn't be any serious bug

btw, I also want to cooperate, and I have a question.. I installed a virtual machine with ubuntu and the necesary tools (+repo sync), to build android...

how do I do to download your source and build files to build this specific version of android for this phone?

if it is an official repo, breakfast will do the job. :p

what do you mean about audio? this have new audio libarry? ok install and test the new cm 11
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
we have 2 audio hal, tinyalsa and libaudio. skype/viber/voip works with tinyalsa, but phone mostly not. You can change lib with "su alsas" command in terminal.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
i dont enugh knowlage about think you sayed.

the viber whats app works on 20141223 for me.

i only can test the new release . ok?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
The 20150113 audio on whatsapp and viber workimg fine such as 20141223
[Samsung Captivate Glide] PghSportsGuy:
Is there a fix for the Google Play Movies & TV app or an older APK that will work with this ROM?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Neuntoter:
I will give it a try in the next few days.

For the rest.. He wants you to call someone using the dialer not a voip app. VOIP has always worked in alsa.

If it works I assume it means we can dump libaudio and the switching and just use tinyalsa.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Neuntoter:
(Double Post Intentional)

I tried it outgoing and incoming calls seem to work with alsa enabled.

Worked 2 times so far.

edit:

I have about 4 more examples of incoming calls working. 1 more outgoing call. This is in on China Mobile.

I don't remember the old behavior exactly but I believe the other party couldn't be heard and failure rate was often.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Neuntoter:
Failure... After many successful calls last night seen the return of the old behavior. It happened on both an outgoing and incoming call. Unfortunately had no time to get log. Will try to reproduce today.

Any luck with this ? Is funny how we have the ONLY Tegra 2 device with this VoIP issue, I don't get it, why this doesn't happen to the Galaxy R users ? It's the same f*cking HW !!!

I get that BT Calls will never work, but VoIP should work (Not complaining to the devs, just making a statement) !!!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
Its not 100% same.

- +keyboard

- -CMC623

- something with ril sound

- other gpio pinout

Nobody pays for devs, even as a dev you must buy phone, powerfull server/workstation to compile releases.

I bought i927 and i927r ( 350$) ,sold i927r already, so I've payed something like 220$, I use a server for compile for free. I had something like 40$ donation. You can see I've spent lot of money to spend lot of free work :)

I've gave my i927 to my friend, who may fix skype audio issue, but my i927 is broken, it has very low radio, and phone doesnt work most of the time. He couldnt test phone audio at all.

If you got any dev friends, ask them to try to fix audio.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] irekd:
Hi, are the any known cases when changing radio or any other rom component or setup, improved network coverage in our i927? Didn't use the phone as daily driver, but now I have to and I'm suffering low range of coverage (0 or 1 bar) in place where other androids like moto g with stock kitkat rom has almost full indicator. I'm in Poland (tmobile). Thanks in advance.

every one can add or fix cm11 kernel usb mtp driver for connecting to win7 ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
my cm11 release has working MTP ( with windows 7), maybe something in windows?

If you wanna make bug report, you would make full wipe without any restore, try, and report back with logcat.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
no problem in phone. thw problem is: my original win 7 cant find any driver for my device in cm11 or sedirom with cm11

[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
ubunto? i using windows. i cant install ubunto driver on windows.

can you add original mtp driver in UCLJ3 on cm11 kernel plz?

on cm11 for sedirom and on your cm11 roms, we cant use the mtp drive. original windows cant find driver on his server. and i cant find any driver for windows, in internet search
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
really, stop whining, and use google. I wont spend time, because you are too lazzy to use google.

Just type to google "windows 7 samsung mtp driver download", thats all.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
hahaa :d no im not lazzy. plz do not pre misjudge.

i try use bing, i found it and install it Two years ago. i have this driver on my computer. my samsung mtp driver installed, work on sedirom stock based, but windows cant create drive on cm11 and cm11 forsedi.

The sound incoming " didingg " but do not make mtp drive on computer. And on device manager have error ( driver not installed )

This problem only on cm11 and sedirom with cm11 kernel
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
I've installed this one: http://mtp-drivers.blogspot.hu/

MTP works after that:

View attachment 3279400

2 years ago android version was 4.2 or less, you should get newer driver.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] irekd:
If installing many different drivers doesn't help try to uninstall Samsung driver from Win7 and then connect your phone. I927 should work on standard Windows USB driver.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:

only cm11 kernel not work. Other mtp driver installed ok from microsoft driver server on my pc. I dont know what is problem.
