Help and How?

Hi all, I'm a little stumped about this rom. Perhaps answers some of these questions will help me a lot. Thanks for your time.

1) What is the recommended upgrade path to flash this rom? Obviously you can't just flash stock -> L-Droid (I tried). My solution involved stock -> (maybe_some_rom_here) -> CM9 -> CM10 -> CM11 -> L-Droid and no I couldn't find a shorter path that would work. Mostly has to do with getting the right version of ClockworkMod Recovery installed at each step to get to the next step.

2) Where is Fixed Dialing Numbers? I use Google Voice and can't set up automatic forwarding anymore because I can't find the FDN list. (Didn't carry over because I switched carriers at the same time as upgrading to L-Droid)

3) I'm still having an issue with Cell signal strength always at dB -1, or no bars even though I'm getting data. Why is this? Is the modem not included in each rom? Will a proper upgrade path ensure a proper modem? What other modem should I try?

4) I may try Spirit Rom in case I can't solve any issues, but I'd like to give this one a shot.
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
1. When i want to start with a clean slate I'd odin back to stock, followed by GB, CM10.2, CM11. No need for cm9 as its not worth risking getting hit with the EU bug that ICS is know for.

2.Sorry wouldn't know I've never used those features but I did happen to stumble across this not sure if it would be any use to you. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00037731/37899/SGH-I637MAAATT

3.Did you do a clean flash (full wipe)? Modem is included with every rom. You would need to play around with modems to see what works best for your device and area.

4. Go for it, spirit rom is one hell of a rom. I've been bouncing back and forth between that and this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] cantinaNW:
I'm using a T-mobile branded T-959 on T-mobile in older non-refarmed cell tower territory.

1. Thanks for listing your flash process. Any specific GB rom you recommend for the intermediary? I wonder if this will fix my modem problem too which shows on Spirit too.

2. Thanks for trying to help with the FDNs. I'm not sure what happened because it's always been an option on my phone until I started messing with cyanogenmod.

3. From memory, I did:

factory reset

wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache

install ROM

wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache

reboot straight into recovery again

wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache

install gapps

wipe cache & wipe dalvik cache

reboot into ROM

Look okay?

Also, I'm not finding any modem-specific docs/tutorials. Would I download a ROM, extract modem-specific files and odin that to my device? If so then I can figure it out probably.
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
You're welcome, I'd just go with CM7. As for your wiping process its good but i prefer to flash like how i stated in the op. It helps debugging wise if you run into any issues. Not really sure what going on with data not kicking in for you, are your apn settings correct? No need to extract the modem-specific files as when you use odin the proper ones should get installed, and every rom comes with modem.bin. Try flashing a different modem/radio to see if that helps

1. Factory Data reset

2. Wipe Cache/Dalvik

3. Format System/Data

4. Install L-Droid zip from Sdcard

5. Wipe Cache/Dalvik

6.Reboot device

7.boot back into recovery

8.Wipe Cache/Dalvik

9. Flash gapps

10.Wipe Cache/Dalvik

11. Reboot and Enjoy
[Vibrant Android Development] cantinaNW:
Big thanks to Dzee206 for helping me figure out solutions to my problems. I'll write down what I've figured out so others can benefit.

1) Stock > CM7.2 > 10.1 > 11 > LDroid. However, I got stuck at 11, and had to keep trying to flash 11 and 10.2 over and over until it finally worked.

2) FDN List is now under the dialer options.

3) Cell signal strength visual bug went away with a proper upgrade flash path (see #1)

4) I tried Spirit Rom and maybe I just couldn't get the flash dance right, but it kept FCing on me, starting 10-20 minutes in. At least LDroid is working now which was the original goal.

Great rom, and thanks for all the help!
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
Sweet, glad you've got everything sorted out now. If you really want to try Spirit rom I'd make a nandroid and flash it like how its mentioned in my op here, only reason i prefer that way besides debugging wise is that I've noticed over the past few months some roms after being flashed tend to act up when everything is flashed all at once during a session in recovery. Enjoy flashing away but i just gotta ask due to your sn, which part of the NW are you from? Oops sorry for forgetting to mention that flashing from cm10 to cm11 that you'll need to flash it twice due to the new partition layout introduced in JB...
[Vibrant Android Development] RudeBwoy:
trying to download version 3.0.2 but there seems to be a problem with the download is there a mirror or alternate link?

Edit- the download starts but fails or says complete when only a part of it was downloaded and other downloads are working fine
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
I'm not at home atm but I'll get you a mirror later on when I get back. are you downloading via mobile or PC? not sure what's going with the link but it works as I've helped a fellow vibrant owner update to 3.0.2 earlier and he/she had no issues with the link, I'd try using WiFi if downloading from mobile and if from PC I'd try a different browser.

EDIT: heres the mirror you need, hopefully this works as I'm a little bit under the influence of Hennessy and AMF's right now lol ... http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/98335599/file.html

sent from my sweetened CandyKat SGH-I717
[Vibrant Android Development] RudeBwoy:
lol Hennessy brings back lots of funny memories. I did try different browsers I was downloading from pc but the mirror is perfect thanks :D :good: cant wait to flash it, should be done soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] cantinaNW:
cm10 > cm11) Oh, that makes sense now. It would be nice to have all these weird essential bits of information in one place.

Spirit Rom) Finally got Spirit working and I had to use the same flashing technique you described in the OP.

sn) Portland / Seattle area back and forth, though I'm in Michigan now but still visit the NW about once a year. Miss the mountains, but great lakes are awesome swimming... when they're not frozen.
[Vibrant Android Development] caramia:
Hi, dzee206. Thanks for all your hard work! It took me all day (sad, I know) but I finally flashed the ROM and gapps successfully and everything looks good. I can't say that I completely understand most of this but I know how to do research and I can follow instructions. That being said, I remember reading that you recommended using the Neat or Neo kernel to use with this ROM? Is that only if problems are encountered with the built-in kernel or is it a good idea either way? I've downloaded the Neat kernel zip file. Do you have any recommendations as to how to install it? I mean, like the steps you gave with installing the ROM. Should I wipe cache/Dalvik and then install from sdcard? I hope you can give me some tips, I really don't want to screw up a whole day's work and have to start all over again. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
His Neat/Neo kernel was just that, a suggestion. You can also check the latest pages of the Semaphore kernel thread for the most updated kernel as of this post released by iyahman compiled with the 4.9 Linaro toolchain for more responsiveness. Also yes, before updating kernels, it is advised to clear Cache and the Dalvik Cache for a cleaner kernel install, so yes, you are well informed already.
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
I've added Candy Sweetener to the op under downloads, these are universal and allow some extra modding to roms to be done that this device has yet to see. I've been using it on my SGH-I717 and really love it. Just be sure to have/make a nandroid to fall back on in case things go wrong. Don't worry this rom is far from being discontinued just awaiting on 4.0 to get all the bugs ironed out and uploaded and I'll port it over for y'all.
[Vibrant Android Development] rodman01:
Yes thats right, rom seems to get a new version soon. And it seems that senior will keep, or return again to, SlimRom as his base...in my opinion thats great :).

I flashed CW 11 OK but I could not flash the P Gaps the install fails each time I try, so no Google play store app etc. My phone has only 4GB internal SD. Also I cannot mount an external SD it is not seen after installation and in settings the mount section is greyed out.

Can somebody please point me in the right direct to resolve these issues

Update: I have now successfully installed the GAPPS- KK small version and the phone is working correctly now.

This Firmware has renewed an unreliable phone and I do not at the moment need a replacement many thanks to the Devs.

However the external SD Card will still not mount in the new Firmware. It seems this is a known issue any progress on resolving this yet? .

Knock is an app by Dexetra. It is fairly new, and still in beta.

According to a market research conducted, a big percentage of the short calls are status calls.

The regular Where are you? Are we on for dinner tonight? How about a movie? These questions can easily be answered with a simple yes or no.

So we started out with brainstorming on how we can help the users to do away with these status calls while still getting the message through.

The solution was to have a messaging system wherein a user can send a message to his/her contacts who are on the same platform.

The message would be depicted as a call at the receiving end. The receiver can swipe to respond with a ‘yes’, ‘no’, share current location, send a message or call back.

Essentially a simulated call, with a message overlay and quick response options!

What’s more? If a knock is not responded to in 60 seconds, it’s deleted and the sender is notified.

Here is the teaser

Hi all,

I'm continuing to keep myself busy creating more custom watchface designs whilst I'm in between jobs and am keen to get your feedback on the following animated gears/cogs watchface design that I created. I'm quite happy with the end result and am keen to make some more but before I invest more time in them I'd like to know what you think? I believe it's the first of its type for the Sony SmartWatch 2 as it runs as a proper low-power enabled watch/clock widget rather than an app.

Video of the animation (only whilst the screen of the watch is on):

[Sony Smartwatch] vbrsekhar:
Excellent work dude. Marvelous Would you be able to make the watch face little smaller at the bottom or on the top so that other widgets like battery and weather can also be added or is it easy to embed them in your watch face?
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've had this type of feedback from a few people about all of my watchfaces. Unfortunately with the relatively low resolution of the Sony SmartWatch 2 screen (220x176) it doesn't do well in displaying my watchfaces when scaled down to smaller sizes. Even when it takes the full 5x5 grid I need to do a lot of tweaking to get it to display clearly to make the watchface actually functional (i.e. you can read the time and the date). In terms of embedding widgets into the watchface - this isn't something that I know how to do as it is beyond my technical coding capabilities. For the meantime I suggest that people install the hack so that they can overlay other widgets on top of the watchface.

Originally I felt that it would be cool to have lots of the widgets on my watch, but after a while I realised that I didn't really need them as I could always turn the watch on to access the apps. I found that they cluttered the screen and detracted from being able to see a nice watchface design. That's why my watchface designs are based mostly on utilising the full 5x5 grid size.
[Sony Smartwatch] vbrsekhar:
Thanks for the immediate response dude. After reading your message, I now started to realise that I don't really use all the widgets as you said. All we need is a good looking watch face that make our watch looks great and is not memory or battery hungry. I will look forward to see the final version of your watch face to buy. Good luck with the project.

Hi, no unfortunately not else that would open a lot of opportunities. It's manually coded in to rotate the gears.
[Sony Smartwatch] naheel azawy:

[Sony Smartwatch] DeadlyDazza:
Like it, I'd purchase but it would have to look bigger. Wouldn't be interested in using any widgets with that watch face so make it bigger. Lose the border & push it out to the edges of the screen & you've got a sale.
[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
Julian, great design, just purchased design #1, which was my wife and daughter favorite. One request? Would it make the hour and minute hands easier to see with a bit darker outline? I realize complications like open face are usually harder to read and the SW2 screen isn't very sharp by design, but it may still make it easier to see the hour and minute hands to tell time. Just a thought, and again, thanks for making the watch even better!
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll see what I can do in my next version :)

Sure, let me try it out and I'll release an update if I can fix it.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
I've just rolled out an update to the white and the black versions of this watchface to make the minute and hour hands easier to read. Hope this helps!
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
When you say lose the border, do you also mean the border that currently has the roman numerals in it? I can make the hour markers float on top instead...
[Sony Smartwatch] DeadlyDazza:
For example the gold style. Remove the gold border around the edge & push the minute/seconds markers right to the edge of the screen.
[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
Julian... yes, that makes it much easier for my ol' eyes to see and tell the time. btw, I also have your Jaeger design... enjoy swapping between them and get lots of compliments. Thanks again!

Digital Animated Gear Watchface

Dear JJW,

In my personnal opinion a digital watchface does not look so appealing,

A digital watch with a plain background looks good.

Something like this?
[Sony Smartwatch] 2dorr:
I like the design and idea but in reality the hour and minute indicators are hard to see because of the background graphic. I am talking about analog versions.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Thanks for the feedback! I know it is a little hard to read the analog watches so I tried to put a border around the hands. I guess that similar watches in real life are also a bit difficult to read as they have a lot of moving parts in the background. The digital version is easier to read and is inspired by the flip clocks that are often found in offices and banks.
[Sony Smartwatch] 2dorr:
Usually the best dials for skeleton watches are the Breguet blue dials. They can be seen because of the color.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Thanks for sharing. I'll try making one with a white background instead of the black one I've used so far.
[Sony Smartwatch] 2dorr:
Why not make the dials blue? Even with the screen of, I think it might be seen better. And yes with white background between the wheels.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Not sure that blue suits it very well. I think that due to the screen resolution and colour depth that there's not a great deal that can be done. I'll play around with different coloured hands to see what looks best.

Thanks

Julian
[Sony Smartwatch] AnceKaiser:
they`re all great ideas, but since they`re meant for a smartwatch, why not making them 5x4 lines, so to leave the last line free for notifications?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try making a Roman numeral based watchface next weekend.

[Sony Smartwatch] 2dorr:
You can make a watchface that has the design of that Breguet but to fit the SW2 screen. And instead of the turbillon, you can put the seconds indicator.
