BIG NEWS:

WebView lag is now fixed in Build #4. I managed to find a way to backport WebView from older CyanogenMod releases. Also, random reboots issue (caused by kernel panic) seems to be fixed as well.

After additional testing, upload will be ready by the next few days.

Also, some other info I would like to share. Pretty soon, I'm going to have to buy a server to host my university thesis and other personal data. I was thinking that after a stable build (I guess Build #5 would be stable enough), I could deploy an OTA server for our phone. That way we don't have to keep re-flashing the ROM and wipe our data. I use this phone all the time, so I get tired of having to delete all my data. But this is just a plan, I'm still working on some of the other stuff we need to fix our phone.

Build #5 would most likely include a flashable updater (if you're currently on Build #4, you don't need to re-wipe the phone, you could just flash the update). That would serve as a test for this idea.

Wow liam is was are big news, if camcorder able to solve as well bugs free nearest to 99% I can say for our ace plus:eek: anyway good luck & take care liam:thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
Thanks a lot bro. Never thought our so old S7500 would come so far from stock GB to CM11.

Even my bro who got dual sim S7562 which he bought year after my ace plus and which came on 4.0.4 ICS official release still struggling to get custom JB rom. All dev died in fixing sim detection issue and abandoned.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] xDaniel91536:
Why aren't you using a tether app? I sometimes used this phone to tether over USB but I didn't had this issue with tethering apps.. Can't remember which App I used since I already have a iPhone 5s since an half year.. Anyway, I will switch to an Samsung Galaxy S5! Will research then on the phone of my sister(S7500)

Who wants to test Build #4? WebKit lag is fixed, but the camera is broken, AGAIN. I need testers that could find out what the problem is and help me out in fixing it, because I need a fix for it so I can release it as stable. Testers with knowledge of Android ROMs and logcatting are welcome. Reply here and I'll PM you a link for it, do NOT PM me unless I PM you.

Just wanted to report a issue which I have just experienced

ISSUE : battery went down from 50 ? to 3? within seconds

Connectivity : was connected to my WIFI network

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kaushikb.1996:
You will find a fix package for flash in 1st post and somewhere behind 2 pages and use video cam illusion for video recording

EDIT : Here is the fix package Enjoy - DOWNLOAD
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
PMed you both. Please figure out a way to fix the broken camera, I can't do much myself because I'm doing some work on my thesis, but once we get things out of the way I'll work on it again. Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] :
Apply this fix for camera flashlight. For gapps flash PA Gapps Micro Modular 4.4.3 Gapps from PA Gapps thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Bassel Bakr:
I'd like to test.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
PMed you a link for Build #4.

Also, Gapps link updated in OP. Now directs you to the thread so that when the link is updated it won't get broken anymore in our thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Do you have Bluetooth or Mobile Data enabled during the call? That seems like a source of battery drain.

Although that REALLY seems to be a huge problem, 3-second battery drain. Never had this problem before though. Does this also happen on other ROMs? Once we get a new kernel version working I guess I could check to see what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Iceman:
Liam, I would like to test please:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
PMed you with the link.

To everyone, thanks for your help. I already have enough users to test Build #4, expect a release once the camera issue is fixed. I am NO LONGER looking for Beta Testers for Build #4.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kaushikb.1996:
Nope i just had my WIFI enabled.

I don't think I have ever faced such a huge drain in short time in other roms

Build #4 Test Results

Build #4 Test Results ​

All the Testers and [MENTION=6078017]Liam D.[/MENTION] here what I experienced till now :

Performance :

The build seems perfectly stable and dint encounter any bugs till now and noticed some changes :good:

Bugs :

1) Web kit Lag : As told by Laim the Web Kit lag is Fixed

2) Random Reboots : Dint experience any till now. And also cant really say because I never experienced it even in previous build

3) Camera and video recorder : As told the camera and the video recorder are not working. But the flash is working.The possible reason why camera is crashing is because so some kind of memory issue and anyways, who want to help the development and couldn't get access to Test build i have attached the LogCat of the Camera you may want to look into it.and also the camera issue is just not with the default camera app it persists with all the 3rd party apps also

Here is the log : LOGCAT

I have cut short the log for our errors : ERROR LOG

4) Battery : I don't know this might just be a placebo but I feel the battery performance is better.

let me know if you want me to test anything else :)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Thanks for this info, I'll look into it again. Seems like an issue with Camera HAL. As for battery performance, I guess it has something to do with some of the tweaks added to the kernel. Could you also test YouTube HQ?

Once Build #4 is up, sources for this ROM will be re-written to be consistent (right now my GitHub sources are broken, all changes are still saved in my machine and are not yet uploaded). I'll also be working on a new kernel that would be rewritten from scratch, however that will only happen if I get the time after Build #4 is stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kaushikb.1996:
YouTube HQ

I can say that it is 95℅ fixed now !!!!!

I only see little lag at beginning of the video which is totally fine and then its very smooth like normal video I don't find any mismatch between audio and video now and there is no lag but I see something which is really weird , now I feel that the video is moving little faster than it normally should
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] :
In my logcat got the same error "ION_IOC_ALLOC failed with error - Out of memory"

And searched and got this .

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...isplay/+/jb-mr1.1-dev/libgralloc/ionalloc.cpp

I'm bad at this but might be useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
That's great, we're making progress. Thanks for the info.

ION makes our phone laggy as hell because our RAM isn't a lot, but we need ION to run KitKat, so we have to live with that error. :P Other builds also have that logcat error but Camera works fine, so I don't think that's the issue. Thanks though.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] bipindr123:
Its probably because the battery wasnt calibrated

re calibrating the battery will fix the problem
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kaushikb.1996:
What i am going to say might completely blow your mind but Battery calibration is a myth !!!! you can search the video in YouTube Android developers channel you might find it . where a Dev at android team him self explains it

Lithium Ion batteries don't need calibration

And if you are taking about previous data then it can be totally cleared normally in battery settings

sometimes it doesnt download properly and gets corrupt due to interrupted interent. that error happened with my phone too.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ElectroXexual:
In TWRP v2.5.0.0 Uncheck "Zip file signature verification" while flashing zip file.

Or try using CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Perhaps you're trying this on a variant, this only works on GT-S7500, NOT L versions (or any other version). Also, check if you can successfully unzip the ROM in your PC to see if it is corrupted or not.

i had that same error once installing speedmod. the reason was corrupt fie.

if u cant install all 5 roms then there is something wrong with download manager.

use IDM.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
As I've said, try unzipping it in your PC to see if you can unzip it successfully. If it fails to unzip, then your download is corrupted.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] mhamk1:

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Thanks for the report. Looks like it's having a conflict with Webview (we're using the old one on Build #4 so it doesn't lag). Will look into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Then something is wrong with your recovery. You're the only one who seems to be having this problem. This ROM works for CWM 5.x and above and TWRP 2 and above and is tested (for all builds). If this also happens on other ROMs, you have a problem with your recovery.

and follow ur Installation Instructions

Create a backup of your current WORKING ROM.

Copy the flashable ZIP to your SD Card.

Wipe your data/cache, including the Dalvik Cache.

Flash as you normally would.

Reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
go to recovery and do full wipe (wipe data/cache/ factory reset/dalvik)

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] bipindr123:

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] pcomet:

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
I didn't notice that! Nice catch. Omich doesn't work too. Try VLC or MX Player.

Working on an audio fix right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] pcomet:
The Omich, for audio playing, worked for me.

VLC for the Video.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Really? Omich didn't work for my phone.

Anyway, use that as a temporary workaround if it works for you. I'm doing a re-compile that will hopefully fix stuff I accidentally broke :P New build will be up within the week, hopefully resolving some issues.

camcorder works with jb+?? [MENTION=6078017]Liam D.[/MENTION] bro thanks for starting this project really appreciate your hardwork
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Iceman:
Finally build 2 uploaded, any bugs will let u know. Thanks for you hardwork :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Yes, video recording should work with Camera JB+ and third-party apps (just like the other ROMs).

Audio playback doesn't work on Apollo, use Omich instead. Thanks for the report, [MENTION=5556176]pcomet[/MENTION] !
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Yes, you can. Or alternatively you could use the Gapps in the link on the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] AndroidVin:
I'm using your build #2, I can say that is awesome!! good work!!me too I've noticed autofocus and playing song problems. also there is the problem that "es file manager" isn't able to access to sdcard0 (internal memory). Could I suggest to add inside the tiles of quick settings the flashlight toggle (like in speedmod)? it is very useful...thank you so much !!!

EDIT: what about FM radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Thanks.

As for the torch quick-setting toggle, I didn't even notice it wasn't there. Looks like the CyanogenMod Torch App doesn't have that feature. Will look into it. Thanks for reporting!

As for es file manager, I've never used it. I use the built-in file manager from CyanogenMod. Although it could be a permission issue in the ROM. Will look into that too. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kk9999gada:
Report + Fix(Audio_Playback+Autofocus_Fix+Storage+Transpare nt Statusbar)

Here is the Report after a Short Test of #Build 2

Here is a temporary fix that I created for #Build 2

What this Zip does?

This will disable LPA (from build.prop) decode because Ace Plus doesn't support LPA decode due to Hardware Limitation . The Zip will also fix Autofocus in Camera along with Flashlight in all apps. No more need of Xposed for flashlight. This zip will also make the statusbar transparent.

Storage Backward Compatibility Fix (Just edited init.qcom.rc): There are many apps in which the internal storage is not shown up because it is symlinked at /internal_storage and external_sd is mounted at /sdcard but in reality internal storage should be symlinked at /sdcard and external storage at /external_sd this is the reason we are not able to find internal storage in some apps.

Storage fix changes symlink of:

/internal_storage to /sdcard &

/sdcard to /external_sd

Download Here

Note : Flash Via CWM/Twrp (Recommended). And Don't Forget to make a CWM Backup before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
You are the ABSOLUTE BEST. THANK YOU!

Will import all these fixes into Build #3 (I honestly did not see the errors I made in init.qcom.rc and in the build.prop.) and right now I'm doing a backport of the WebKit sources from CyanogenMod 10.2 into CyanogenMod 11 to fix the WebKit Lag.

Once all of these are done, there are NO BUGS LEFT for the next release.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] AndroidVin:
I give you probably some useful information :o ....by installing camera next and by setting camcoder as you see (see attachments)...camcorder works (note that the resolution is low and the recording starts after some seconds)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
I already applied an experimental fix to the code so that the native camcorder would work in the stock camera, but I still have to test if it works. Sadly the camera in my phone has a scratch so it doesn't take pictures very well, so I can't test it out for real.

Once build #3 is up it'll PROBABLY fix the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] bipindr123:
The rom is very smooth!

for transparent status bar can we use the speed mod fix?

and what is webkit lag?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] pcomet:
After flashing the FIX:

- Autofocus: OK!

- Flash: OK!

- AudioPlayback: OK!

- Transparent StatusBar: OK!

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
For transparent status bar, edit /system/build.prop and change ro.config.low_ram=true to ro.config.low_ram=false and reboot.

WebKit Lag = this is when some apps that are based on WebKit (Web Browser, some apps) lag because Google FORCED a new version of WebKit for newer hardware and is not 100% compatible with our hardware.

Please try set cpu governor with Lionheart & I/O scheduler please stay in deadline, next select setting=privacy=privacy guard=advance=location=Google play service=keep awake select denied.

Alternative you can install battery saving apps from play store, amplify & greenify for control system & background apps when no use. Both apps must install xposed installer if not both apps won't working. Please see what is the result, hope helpful for you :)

**edit: also under in setting=location, please choose battery saving mode and of cause you can select off;)

google services use lot of battery. it runs after every few minutes taking most of the juice.

go to setting> account > ur google account > uncheck all boxes of synchronising ( for eg : games data, calendar, location, ).

also uncheck settinng> backup> uncheck backup data.

setting > lockscreen> clockwidget> uncheck weather( only if u dont need it)

learn how to install xposed installer app and greenify app to hibernate background services. its very effective.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
what about FM audio , sensors , torchlight in toggle bar. are these included in build#4. ??
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Sensors MIGHT be re-enabled in build #4 if it no longer breaks the camera, but FM Radio is still work in progress (should be a flashable update if a fix comes by), and the torchlight in the toggle bar is not included with the default CyanogenMod 11 package, so until they add it to their framework, this feature will only exist in CyanogenMod 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] anooj21m:
Is the autofocus fixed?? or it needs 5 secs....
