I'm sticking with the WiFi HAL we have for Jellybean. The real drivers were close-sourced so I can't work on a fix for it.

To other posters, please keep this thread clean. Discuss CyanogenMod 10 in it's own thread, not here. This is for CM11-related topics.

Liam,

Pls add torchlight in quick setting panel.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Raghav Iyer:
Thank you Liam!

You can add a widget of the Torch app to your homescreen right? Please try that once. :)

Most importantly! Liam, thank you sooo much for the CM 11 for Ace Plus! Your hard work needs to be appreciated. It is almost perfect for me! Very smooth and effecient. :good:

To save battery,

1. Clear Recently used apps frequently.

2. Go to performance, and turn the profile to Powersave when you are not using the phone for a long interval.

3. Try using Battery Calibrate app from Play Store.

4. Turn off, data and wifi when not in use.

Thank you once again Liam! :D

Hey Dear GT-S7500 having friends.

I have a personal experience about battery life .

After reaching your battery to 100%

1 - Disconnect charger

2 - Turn your phone OFF ( Not reboot)

3 - After about 5 minutes turn it on and enjoy your battery life

I don't know the reason But battery life improves a bit .

Maybe kernel uses more power when charging and stays to this position after disconnecting charger. Maybe .

:cool:

Come on liam

We are all talking about GT-S7500 Galaxy Ace plus.

Ok

Sorry

I'll keep in mind that here is CM_11 forum.

And I'm waiting for a bugfree CM_11 Build 3.

Specially panic bug of kernel (Makes me a devil)

:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] bipindr123:
here are the fixes to some of them

1. for camcorder you can use an app called videocam illusion available free in playstore

2.for battery charge it to 100% go to recovery and clear battery stats or leave the battery out for more than 2 minutes (this does the same thing that is re calibrate the battery). use amplifier xposed module

3. For deep sleep , and lags change your performance setting to interative and noop and go to recovery clear cache and dalvik chache fix permission and reboot

i am not sure why but keneral panic also stopped after i did this

installing an app called seeder can help reduce lags

right now i do not face keneral panic, lags or deep sleep isuues

and youtube lag is minimal

i faced a lot of lag and keneral panic in other governors
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] :
so how is your battery life now? How much do you get?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
For the kernel panic issues, I think it has something to do with how the kernel handles frequencies. I can code and develop software, but I am not very familiar with the Linux kernel. I can only do a few tweaks and mods, but to modify it deep down in its core is something that someone else has to do. I'm still familiarizing myself with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ehsan13:
Thanks for useful tips and tricks
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
gr88 . videocam illusion app works . it saves file in mov format but nevermind. thanks a lot. :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] bipindr123:
i wouldn't say the battery life is bad but its moderate

i will post a screen shot of a full battery discharge later

By the way did anyone check if the fix i mentioned for keneral panic, deep sleep, lag works?

oh! and HAPPY NEW YEAR guys!!

Build #3 is now being uploaded.

Changelog are as follows:

Added preliminary support for FM Radio (hardware utilized but audio is not yet available, will be fixed in the future)

Camera is working again (after an update to CyanogenMod 11 Milestone 12 broke it during the testing phase for Build #3)

Sources updated to CyanogenMod 11 Milestone 12

Updated stock apps

Kernel tweaks and modifications

Legacy sensors re-enabled (thanks for the report, [MENTION=4450994]kk9999gada[/MENTION]) -- UPDATE: These sensors are temporarily disabled, they break the camera HAL. Will be fixed in a future build instead. The phone will still work fine, these are just virtual sensors anyway and does NOT affect the total performance of the phone.

Audio works after flashing (low-power audio disabled for our device)

Improved responsiveness

Tons of bug fixes

OP will be updated with the link after upload is complete. If the camera flash does not work again, please flash the fix we use in Build #2, I haven't tested it yet for Build #3, but it should work. Also, sources in my GitHub are updated.

One more thing to note, I've also finished downloading sources for OmniROM and AOKP. Out of the three, OmniROM seems to be the lightest (at 397 objects, compared to CyanogenMod and AOKP's 407). I MIGHT consider OmniROM in the future and drop CyanogenMod, but I can't say for sure. Will do lots of more testing on it.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] is there incremental update package because i don't see the update in my settings about phone
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Angjinhang:
A quick feedback

Finally installed this rom! Luckily my phone survived after a swim in a pool...thanks to my broken trouser's pocket.

Anyway here's some feedback.

Positive -

1. Smoother than SpeedMod I should say. Maybe because this is CyanogenMod without too many modifications (so Liam I hope you can keep CM11 instead of switching to Omni).

2. Battery life - cool. No strange drains when I leave my phone for the computer. Tip: Use Greenify + Xposed to let Greenify boost your battery life completely, and add everything to the hibernating list except for your keyboard apps and Xposed mods.

3. Quite stable from the few days living with this rom. No random ramdumps like I had in SpeedMod. Using OnDemand + SIO, with memory tweaks and 16-bit transparency. Just remember to let your phone rest (turn off) during the night if you don't need the alarm. If you need to keep it on, remember to reboot it every morning when you are brushing your teeth.

4. OMG I LOVE THE THEME ENGINE yes I'm not kidding.

Negative -

1. Overclocking gives performance drop instead of increase - since it's a known bug I won't talk much about it but please add it in OP (and this issue slows down games that require heavy phone power).

2. WebKit lags are killing me...not only in the web browser. In fact all apps that uses an internal web browser for logging in services are affected. Also, this is a known bug, but I'm positive that it will be fixed! (Also if there's a workaround that I can use the Firefox's Gecko engine instead of WebKit...I'll appreciate it :D)

3. The icons in Trebuchet are actually quite small, and looks like spacing between them isn't enough. Not too comfortable when using (and I'm not too interested in switching launchers, they take up the precious space in the phone and mostly don't fit well with the icon theme).

...and I don't find anything else worth mentioning, using lcd_density of 150 and it works perfectly :D camera works like it should too. Haven't tested Bluetooth but I expect it to work, and looking forward to a full FM Radio fix.

In short, nice rom, Liam, and I'm loving it. Keep up the good work :good:

P/s: any chance of having OTA updates? Just asking, not a must :)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
OTA updates are being considered, although I want to fix as much bugs as possible first before adding in those extras. Bluetooth works with no bugs, and the FM Radio will be fixed in the next couple of builds. Thanks for your review. :)

OP updated for Build #3 download link.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Angjinhang:
Great to hear that Bluetooth works! I can use my Bluetooth headset without worries now :D

And happy to see that Build 3 is up :) will try it.

Anyway do I need to flash the Camera Flash and Audio fix pack if I'm installing Build 3?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Only if camera flash doesn't work as expected (I haven't tested camera flash so I can't be sure). Audio is already fixed. Try the ROM without flashing the fix first, and if flash doesn't work, you can flash the fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Angjinhang:
Yeah and btw, for others' information, you can't flash the fix before booting into the rom for the first time :P at least it caused an error for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] blackstar55:
downloading......
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] k08r4:
Thank you for your wonderful gift for the new year.

I think it is a bit slower than the previous rom maybe it's just my feeling.

I do not know what others think?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] AndroidVin:
happy new year guys!!!!!! Liam thank you for your latest release!!!!! I installed beta3 right now....I installed over the beta2 only doing wipe cache and wipe dalvik, mantaining beta2's gapps....I tried camera and both autofocus and flash don't work...then I flashed the fix and both autofocus and flash worked again...

anyway by flashing beta2's fix, the kernel is again the beta2's one as reported by info....in fact before to flash it, it was the beta3's one
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Thanks for reporting that. I'll make a flashable zip later on that would not change the kernel.

The panel was dropped in CM11, but I think I can port the old CM10 files for it. I'll try for the next build.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] olimpero84:
Thanks a lot for this rom. You are my hero because i search months for a stable rom for my ace plus and i going to try this.

I'm a newbie, so i have a few questions

1. This rom works for the gt-s7500L?

2. What are the requisites for installing this rom?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
1) I haven't tested it on other variants of Galaxy Ace Plus, this is only tested for GT-S7500. You may try it at your own risk, but I'm 99% sure it will brick your phone.

2) Only a custom recovery is needed to flash this ROM (CWM, TWRP). It doesn't matter if your phone is rooted or not, this ROM is pre-rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] suhasrocz:
Firstly, nice work and thanks a lot...but the gapps that you provided is bricking my phone...any alternate gapps ???
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
That's odd, I'm using that Gapps perfectly fine. Try the Gapps from SpeedMod.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] AndroidVin:
I have a question, galaxy W (i8150) is also officially stuck on 2.3.6, but as I understood both camera and camcorder work on cm11. could be useful ask the developer of this device (arco68) to give some help and advice to make camcorder work? Naturally I think it isn't so easy as it can seem given that ace plus and galaxy w are quite different in terms of hardware
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Well, for starters, we're using msm7x27a/msm7727a, and Galaxy W is using MSM8255T for chipsets. I wouldn't count on it that their solution would work on ours.

Also, an update for everyone. First off, the original post has been edited by me so that it looks more appealing, old post format looks too messy. Second, I finished a build that uses classic webview in hopes of resolving the Webview lag, but every app force-closes, so I'm discarding that build for now. This bug has also been issued in Google's bug tracker, but it seems that they want to keep it this way (forcing the new version of Webview Chromium onto KitKat and not allowing libwebcore to be used instead) so you are forced to use Google Chrome instead of the stock AOSP browser. This is an issue with how Google handles webview, and NOT an issue with the ROM itself, so I will be giving up on working on that issue for the meantime.

Hi liam

What about panic bug ??

is it fixed ??

:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] MoHuToP:
I must say the rom is very stable and works fine and smooth. Good clear and loud sound. Big thanks to the developers! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
I don't know. I haven't experienced the "panic bug" myself so I can't say for certain. If anyone experiences this, a logcat would be useful so I can check into the kernel code.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] AndroidVin:
Up to now the only strange thing I experienced (both with beta 2 and beta 3) is the following:

When the phone loses the carrier signal for some time, the phone shuts down itself (so I have to turn again it on). once I turn it on, sometimes, again it shuts down itself again. in fact I observed this thing several times, for example, this happened every time I was inside a theatre where the signal is very weak for most of the time (often only emergency calls). I don't know if can be related to the "panic bug", but if I'm not wrong this didn't happened to me with SpeedMod 2.5. What about you?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
Same thing here. Its kernel panic bug. To avoid it i keep my data connection in "2g" mode.

In "2g/3g" it tries to switch over from one signal to another signal again and again and creates panic.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] AndroidVin:
thanks, I also always keep my data connection in 2g mode, but sometimes this problem happens anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Hm. From the looks of it I need to create an entirely new source for the kernel. I can't seem to figure out what went wrong. I'll try to do some work on it over the couple of days and see what I can find.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
i thought it could be a signal problem . so i updated my baseband to latest version by flashing latest stock firmware via odin. it didnt help.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ehsan13:
Mine adjusted to 2G But panic bug persists .:eek:

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

I have experienced panic bug after a small tap on screen several times .

Maybe our touch screen is different of the thing kitkat recognizes ?

:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kk9999gada:
I think Kernel Panic is related with CPU Governers and Schedulers. Try recalculating all the frequencies of them in Kernel Source. I haven't faced Kernel Panic since a week when using combination of OndemandX and CFQ on SpeedMOD 2.5.1 and when I want to turn my phone into gaming machine i switch to Lionheart + Deadline for the time period and when I'm done with gaming I come back to my previous settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Good to know. I'll take a look at the frequencies there.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
thanks a lot.

CFQ and ondemandx is good. i just spent an hour with internet 3g in fast moving train. signal disappeared many times but no more freezing and panic. i will stick to this combination.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] AndroidVin:
Hi [MENTION=6078017]Liam D.[/MENTION] , hi guys, I just saw a today's SpeedMod commit that is called "trebon : fix reboot", that seems to me related to the kernel panic bug (the file modified is acpuclock-7201.c)....I'm so sorry if it hasn't anything to do with that bug. I hope that this commit I linked can help the development..

at the moment I'm testing the configuration suggested ondemandx+cfq

Recovery problem

I'm new and noob, so if something I do is not ok, sorry for that ;)

I use the latest rom (1-1-2015) and have problems with focussing photos. Wanted to apply the fix, but I can not go to recovery mode any more (was CWM). Tried to flash new recovery-file, but no effect. Phone starts with 'samsung' text and yellow triangle at the bottom, then goes to black screen and stays in it.

Normal startup is no problem (after removing battery), phone works fine. I'm really glad with this rom, only this recovery problem ....

Any helpful tips?

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] masterjigar:
Try to flash recovery via odin..

U can flash via odin in downloading mode so not to worry..

Sent from my GT-S7500 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
When you flashed the ROM, you should have also wiped your data and cache. If you can't get in to CWM Recovery, try re-flashing it via ODIN and see if you can access it again. The yellow triangle could be removed by an app called TriangleAway, it's paid on the Play Store, but you can find the free APK on XDA.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Thanks, I'm 99% sure this is the problem. Will add this commit to our own build after some reviews and put it for Build 4, or perhaps release a new kernel zip file that you can flash. Will see to it after everything's been sorted out.

Liam,

If can release a new kernel zip file that can flash is mush better, because no need to flash entire ROM again. Thanks :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Angjinhang:
Just asking, is it possible to use Chrome instead of the AOSP browser if the WebKit bug doesn't affect Chrome? I mean, fully replacing AOSP browser with Chrome, not installing it as a third party app, and Chrome came per-bundled with the rom, and the rom doesn't contains the AOSP browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Yes you can use Chrome. Unfortunately, it is a Google-made app and is proprietary, Google doesn't like it when we include pre-made apps by them into ROMs (this is the reason why Gapps is a separate flash).

Other updates, I'm currently sick so I can't work on the builds right now. Hopefully I'll be back on my feet within the next few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
Even google keyboard is much better and lighter than aosp keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] mirhl:
Why forcing transparent statusbar?

We have few RAM, that's not a lot of a great idea
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Angjinhang:
Agreed. But it's a keyboard that can be easily replaced, unlike WebKit that actually hooks on to many things, changing it causes crashes, etc. I remembered that I caused my Play Store to malfunction just because I removed the AOSP browser and replaced it with Firefox...

If you don't like the idea just go to /system/build.prop and change this after flashing the fix.

ro.config.low_ram=false

To

ro.config.low_ram=true

Then reboot.

P/s: Btw, take care, Liam :)

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] bipindr123:
Does transparency take up a lot of ram? what is the ram foot print?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
RAM footprint for a transparent status bar is only a few KB to MB, so it shouldn't hurt a lot. It could however, cause lags if you're using the "Tinted Status Bar" Xposed module, since it re-draws the UI everytime an app opens to match the color.

I would recommend setting it this way:

/system/build.prop should be ro.config.low_ram=false (unchanged), then open Settings > Performance (you will only see this after enabling Developer Options, which you could do by going to Settings > About Phone and tapping the Build Number 7 times) > then check Force High-End Graphics then reboot.

This way, those apps that would have different code for low RAM devices would perform as normally as they would, but you will still have the transparent status bar. I don't know if this would affect other apps, but to be sure I do it this way myself.

UPDATE: Looks like the SpeedMod team has new sources for KitKat (I follow them on GitHub), and it looks like they've re-written the sources (all current sources for Ace Plus was derived from TheWhisp's work at CM10), and with re-written sources, this would mean that we could easily work on bugs because we knew what exactly has changed, instead of manually viewing commits made by other people). This is a huge step for development. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Black_Stark:
Hi Liam,

there is an option in setting>performance> memory management > allow purging of assets. do we need to check it? is it really helping in freeing RAM ??
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Liam D.:
Nope, I don't see it helping much.
