Contacts-app not closing: a temporary solution

After all thinking and clearing data and cache etc. I figured out, that I didn't remember I had installed newer version of Task manager from Samsung Apps earlier. So I decided to try removing the update in Manage applications-list and vóila: with old Task manager the contacts-app closes the way it's supposed to close.

So I guess I stick to the old Task manager, but this is just a temporary solution, 'cause it doesn't explain why the never TM keeps the contacts-app active after closing, because at first it worked normally. I still think it's some bug in ROM, because on stock-ROM the never Task manager works great with contacts-app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Margaliini:
I remember that I'd have seen somewhere that there was a problem with that CSC (I may remember wrong), that caused that kind of problems. Do a search on this thread, there's been conversations about this.

Edit: Stefan has since been updating the fixed versions in Kitchen, so if I was you, I'd confirm that it was that CSC that's causing the problem and cook a new ROM for myself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oliver005:
Hey, nice find! It fixed my problem with contacts not closing too! With update I got task manager v1.54 (bad one). Uninstalled updates, got version 1.11 (working again).

Thanks mate!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fAtaXe:
I still don't know whats wrong but I "fixed" the problem by creating a directory named "cache" on /sdcard and then mounting /sdcard/cache to /cache.

If anyone could tell me how to fix the ACTUAL /cache partition that'd be appreciated though.

Interesting I am using almost the same setup (see sig) and have the exact same thing. I wonder if it is a phone problem or a Bell problem.

"Hey guys I seem to be having a weird problem. I just recently updated to JS3. I'm on 9.1.4 JS3, BMC csc, JL2 modem, speedmod k12q on bell mobility. I have setup my APN settings and data works fine for browsing and stuff but when I'm using the facebook app and click on notifications I get an error "Cannot retrieve the notifications Please try again later. [Connection reset by peer]" and I am unable to view new notifications in the app. This only occurs when I'm on data network when I switch to wifi it works and I don't receive that message.

Any clue how to fix this?"

@linkness

I have this same problem on stock JL2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtluis:
Actually, this doesn't fix the contacts app from keeping open.

The difference from having old task manager and new task manager is that old task manager doesn't "see" the contacts app as running even if it is, the new task manager fixes this "bug" and will show you the contact app as being running.

So... this is not really a fix, the contacts app still running on background even if old task manager doesn't show it. You can check this by reopening you contact list, you will see that the app will load immediatly without delay, and it will show you the last contacts you were browsing too as if you had minimized the app (if you close the app manually, you will notice the contact app take a little longer to load and will always show you your first contacts in list).

Same thing happens with the Internet browser... contacts and internet for some reason kept open in the background after you close them... IDK if this is a bug or this is the way they are supposed to work. but I really hate that too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] linkness:
Interesting I did not have this problem with previous firmwares including JPY. I thought it was maybe something to do with CSC since it was never an option before for my previous cooked rom from the kitchen. I will try to cook a new rom later with default CSC see if that fixes the problem. I don't know what else to try
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Margaliini:
Yep.. I noticed that it is just a cosmetic "fix" that this old Task manager does by hiding all the system apps or not being visible in Active applications, even though they seem to be running bg, as noticed by the non-delay opening contacts the second time. But, with the old tm, the contacts-app doesn't even show up in the manage apps -> running apps, like with the new one, so.. Something is different besides the visibility thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
So I found this BUG on the 9.1 Doc ROM, I hear a static noise from the rear speaker and this is not some sort of interference or shielding issue.

So the static noise starts at about 2-3seconds before the animated galaxy S logo appears and continues indefinitely up until ANY one is played on the speakers, So I figured restoring the boot sounds should fix this since it plays the tone. So I got the update.zip on the first page to restore the boot sound and it does FIX the issue EVEN if no sound is actually played, the static or hissing sound stops when the galaxy "S" logo starts to glow

Im not aware if this issue is present on 9.1.4 since I havent updated yet but Im sure this will affect possibly all 9.1 and lower or even other ROM's w/o any boot up sound

On a side note, how do we restore the boot up sound properly since the update.zip on the first page does not make any sound but fixes the issue which is strange.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtluis:
Confirmed that on 9.1.4. buzzing noise sound won't stop until something else makes a noise on phone.

Probably this happens bcs phone tries to play startup song and doesn't find a file to play...

Can anyone using boot sounds confirm if this happens too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Try to use the update.zip found on the first page to restore the sound even if there is no sound played the static noise goes away when the logo is assembled.

Im just guessing but a quick fix to this is to include a blank sound file on the next release and have its filename and location placed correctly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zurchpet:
The soundfile also won't be played when using a custom bootanimation AFAIK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oliver005:
Well, on a galaxy s directly from the shop it works same way. Contacts won't show up in task manager and it opens instantly on 2nd launch, also exactly on the same name you left it before, so I think it's working as intended now. You'll get the same if you flash stock 2.2 or 2.2.1 firmware.

Anyway, I like it to open instantly and not showing in task manager than open in ~2 seconds every time I need it and then sitting in task manager and reloading my UI every time I close it in task manager. It's really hard for me to keep my phone with number "1" on my running processes on the desktop.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtluis:
Agreed. I like the way your mind works xD

Hi, i am very new to Doc rom, i was using darky's rom and plan to try Doc rom.

i have just cooked a rom and like to know how to install it.

the process is just go to recovery more and install the zip file from sd card?

dark's rom is installed that way.

or i need to do any things else to install the ROM?

appreciate your help.

like to know, Doc rom is good in battery life or speed or a fine balance of both?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NaabKing:
You install it from Recovery with CWM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sebyyy:
Thanks for the quick reply.

i need to manually wipe or the rom will automatically wipe every thing and install the new rom?

also if you can reply to my below doubts, that will be great.

like to know, Doc rom is good in battery life or speed or a fine balance of both?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tkalli:
Complete install instructions are HERE

Stage 3 will do for you.

Battery life and speed is fine for me.

Everyone has a different option.

​
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jebise101:
coming from darky 8.1 i say i have better battery with DOC, speed is the same i really did not notice a difference. Maybe a bit faster then Darky's.

Its a good idea to wipe the cache partition, daviabe cache (i know wrong spelling) and battery state. After that install a wipe version it will wipe everything and configure. After that enable 4R tweaks and enable lagfix (of course lagfix and tweaks are your choice).

Its best to do it on a full battery (i don't really follow that but i try). after flash kill the battery and let it charge overnight WITHOUT IT BEING ON and go into recovery and do another battery state wipe and then boot into android. To get the best battery it will take a couple of charges so give it a 3 days or so.This has always been the case for me i never get good battery when i first flash but as i use it and charge it the battery get calibrate and it last longer.

nice one, i cant believe it actually has that hissing sound and stays there until some sound comes out of the speakers, this most definitely needs to be addressed. I guess i can live with the loud annoying samsung sound for now.

EDIT

Bit more testing and it seems the hissing sound is there when music is playing as well. If you play music and turn down the volume you can hear the hiss, it you pause the song you hear the hiss for a few seconds and a popping sound and then speaker turns off. Maybe this has to do with Voodo sound or is kernel related.

Anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jebise101:
I used the boot sound zip on the first page and modified them with silent files. This has no startup sound or shutdown sound and fixes the hissing issue (or leaving the speaker on till a sound is played). When you turn on the SGS the speaker turns on and you can hear the his then it plays the silent file and turns of. Same thing goes with the shutdown, speakers turn on silent file played and phone turns off.

If you really thing about it this can have an effect on battery. You turn on the phone but don't use it for a few hours and oddly get no calls text nothing. In that sense you speaker will stay on killing your battery. But not only but will kill your speakers faster as they are on for no reason. I mean it wont have a huge impact on battery but...

poweroff screen

I've been liking DOCs a lot, but am now experimenting with just a stock firmware plus the speedmod kernel, without a custom rom. Just trying to see if I can live with less, because I tend to get itchy-fingered, and that, coupled with just a little knowledge, is a dangerous thing. For instance, I had Doc's ROM, then installed his theme, added the revolution transparent apps, then decided to play with some kernel settings at work. Ended up soft bricking my phone! :p

But do miss the poweroff screen which allows me to select recovery, reboot or download mode, etc. So what's the minimal I can create with the kitchen rom that will give me the poweroff screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] js8:
Just install JPY or JS3 with Hardcore. Pick the appropriate modem/CSC for your region. And choose the default/stock bits for theme, apps, etc. ... don't pick any extra stuff you don't want. It really is pretty slick and simple when you do it that way :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] derrzredeem:
do you mean ext power menu?

you can always choose theme from the kitchen that support it. But, if you want a stock look that had those menu. flash this, it's for JPY but works with JS3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] marcedli:
if you use the kitchen for anything, you will lose stock rom (i have to mention that every each apk is deodexed in the kitchen, so not compatible with stock roms). Themes are for deodexed roms, so if you need extended power menu, you will need a custom rom....

For now I'll stick with this until I am tempted by a new kitchen release. Loving the ROM not a single random force close yet!

Any reason for having all those CSC options and only a few modems on the kitchen... :confused:

It is a nuisance to have to go in recovery to change modem everytime, and worst with Tegrak that doesnt have CWM... :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] marcedli:
don't use tegrak if it's a problem for you, and no need for 100 modems in the kitchen, only those which are tested in previous doc roms or coming with the new firmwares....

csc is a different thing: it's just matter of user preference, the sgs works without csc but not without modem...

may i ask something guyz i am a little confused now :-(

Before an hour ago i flashed the v7 (not 7.5)... all went well as expected but i acidentaly installed it again while i was installing the extras :-(

then when i undestood what i did and after a complete boot i went into the recovery and press to recover back the device with the 1st recover it was created before the second install...

1st question is do i need now to redo a clean install of the rom?? and to do that i need to wipe setting throught the clockwork recovery or to do factory reset?

and

2nd.. i now see there is a new installation.. if i want to install this do i need to install first v6 then 7 and then 7.5 ???

Sorry am noob as far as android concerns..

Thanks anyone who has the time to guide me a llitle bit...

and also a last question! what do i have to do in order to have swype with greek keyboard support cause v7 even with the extra langs doesnt include greek

thanks again
