Develop Bugs

[Q] Couple of newbie questions :)

Phk said:
Greetings fellow Friends from Galaxy
I just moved myself from the HTC Magic section to this one.. It was quite a jump, the Galaxy S Camera and 4inch screen are AWESOME =)
I have a few noob questions that I don't want to spread through many posts, so i've chosen to get them all here, without polution this forum section. Also they might come in handy for future Galaxy S buyers!
My phone is: 2.1-update1 @ I9000XXJF5
Question #1
Well at first glance everyone's trying to fix the "LAG PROBLEM"... I haven't noticed any lag!! What are we talking about? If its a fix.. i want it too

Click to collapse
the lag problem does not accure instantly after startup, it takes a while to do so.
Question #2
The phone came with Android 2.1, but at samsung-firmwares.com and at this dev section of the forum, i saw the JP3 Froyo release. How stable is this? Is it already a daily driver or a total beta? As an Android lover, i'd love to have the latest
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this release is, lets say, alpha quality, however some do use it daily and seems to be stable so far, but the jit is broken, so dont expect it to be faster than eclair
Question #3
I've used the One Click rooting solution and then the ROM Manager Clockwork to boot into clockwork rom and make a full-system backup. In my HTC Magic i had the recovery ROM (Amon_RA) flashed into the internal phone memory, so even if i didn't have a ROM installed, i was ALWAYS able to boot into recovery. That was a safety plus. How can i flash the Clockwork Recovery directly to my phone, without the ROM Manager? I'd feel more secure if i could count on recovery even if, for example, i flashed a non-working system ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can run the clockwork recovery from original recovery by simply running it´s update.zip, this does in fact load the clockwork recovery into memory
Question #4
So what is YOUR favourite ROM? My stock has some unwanted apps, and even worse, it's Eclair. I'd like to switch soon, but i don't know these Galaxy S ROMs Tell me what's the best ROM for you!
Thanks guys, XDA is indeed the #1 place for mobile stuff
Cheers

If JIT is broken, the rest of new 2.2 features can be achieved through Market tools... I'll stick to 2.1 then. By the way, where's a CLEAN 2.1 Rom? this one has lots of service-provider tools... They suck.

Now That's a fix! So i just have to keep my update.zip of Clockwork Rom in INTERNAL SD CARD so that anytime, anywhere, i just have to perform update.zip and the Clockwork will boot ONCE from RAM and them be cleared at next boot, right?

Can you point me to a location explaining the issue?
I've seen the fix but i'd like to understand if the bug exists in every kernel, since is a file-system related bug.
Thanks

I dunno about you but HACKECLAIR surfaced the day I got my phone so I thought it might be destiny, or you know just a co-incidence.

Give it a try, it clears out the stock rubbish and leaves it in a folder on ur sd card to install later if you need it.

[Q] Problem with flash player with custom roms

Hi there, long story short - with revolution and leedroid my flash player isn't working correctly (when I load some site with flash based banners in it I got error massage: "page cannot be displayed check...and so on" on their place+some flash based video players on sites are not working). I tried to reinstall the flash player, turn off/on my phone, etc,but without any luck. I did full wipe when I installed the roms+I checked md5. I also tried tb-stock - on it banners looks fine, but still can't play video on some sites :/. I just don't know what the issue is. The roms where installed going with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769 it was easy and run smoothly, except the f*c*ed up flash... (with is a problem, because I use my device as tablet a lot). Btw, as I am asking, is there any simple method to reverse my phone to stock, just asking in case noone can't help with my personal drama(I backed up the downgraded rom, if that helps).
I searched the forum+roms threads, but didn't find anyone else with that problem. Sorry for my incompetence on the matter, and I hope you can/want to give me some tips. Thanks in advance .
P.S. Also, sorry if that's not the right place for this thread, but I think it suit it best (I can't post in the dev section - 10 post rule ftw ).

have you tried a different kernel?

Yes, same :/. It all began with my desire to overclock... tried unity_v2 for example on the revolution(as it was adv from 2-3 people around), but it's the same, didn't help at all.

LeeDrOiD updated to 3.2.0 fixed the issue 100 %.
There is also a 3.2.1 patch available dl using ROM Manager to sort out any very minor lag you may have. Works for some, not others.
I have never had lag (Edit: in current build) or his last few builds running everything as per my signature.

I saw leedroid 3.2 changelog and hope the same as you say, but when I installed it... same thing :/. Btw, leedroid lags, when for instance I watch video from youtube(yes, youtube works, tho it crashes a lot..), there is like slowdown-normal speed-slow down-normal speed, but thats not the main issue(or have something to do with the f*c*ed flash player. I just don't get it, I did everything as it should be done, its not hard... and I get that bug, but noone else got it, lol wut :<. Some other idea? What I do wrong?
EDIT: The problems was caused from adfree part of the roms as it seems, I will research more on the subject after work, but it defo looks like that. All my thankfulness goes to mike1986, and all that helped me out.

Full wipe all available partitions to ext4 before flashing ROM with latest CWM ext4 version.
Make sure you don't restore system apps and data, particularly flash. Don't want to carry one bug from ROM to ROM.

Check your PM, hope you go it as had trouble with adsl connection cutting as I sent it.
Let me know if you've got nothing, will try and post here if not. But travelling a bit tonight, so won't be able to answer for a bit

I get all 3 of them. I really appreciate you take so much time to answer me. Thank you again .

No worries. Hope you manage to sort it out.

[Q] Please HELP, GSM Galaxy Nexus no signal, any SIM

Hello all,
It's been a week flashing ROMs, Radios, Kernels, many combinations and I can't get my Galaxy Nexus to work well. It's picking up AT&T signal sometimes, actually PERFECT reception near home, but then drops 100%
The SIM gets recognized, as the APN settings are correct.
The model I have is the i9250, Engineering model
Thank you for your help, I'm very frustrated

Take a look at my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487239 and read through and try the combinations recommended. I PERSONALLY recommend the FuGuMod Kernel as it fixed my issues. See my signature for current set up. I use the UGKL1 Radio as well.
Please post your results in that thread as well as here.

Go back to stock 4.0.2 This should work, it normally does... Download it: Here...
It is a zip file, which contains the stock GNex ROM, everything should be back to normal

This may work as well but I have a feeling the OP is trying to use an AOSP 4.0.3+ ROM.
OP - Read my thread and give it a try. It has helped a few like you (INCLUDING MYSELF). What do you have to lose?

Even with radio and kernels I flashed> does it matter? :-(

Try my exact setup and see what happens...
-FoxHound v1.0 ROM
-FuGuMod 4.0.3 Kernel
-UGKL1 Radio
Give it a try. This set up WORKS for me and the FoxHound ROM is quite nice as well.

Really? Im sorry to hear that. There are some other combos listed there in my thread that have worked for others as well. Maybe try those...
I wish you good luck my friend...

got into stock 4.0.2, unrooted again. NOTHING, maybe antenna issues?

I just had your same problem. I tried any rom and stock flash, but NOTHING.
Then I tried doing "Fix permissions" in CWM recovery and after that PROBLEM SOLVED!
I imagine it's too late for you but maybe this solution could help in future

[Q] [PROBLEM] GNexus slow after installation whichever ROM unofficial.

Hi Guys,
it's the first time that I need your help with my galaxy nexus.
5 months ago I rooted my phone and I installeted a ROM( maybe Revolution ROM ) and my phone was fast and perfect.. without problem.
After 1month or 6weeks I had my first random reboot and began the lags, and i decided to install a paranoid ROM. Before to do the flash, I did a full wipe but my Phone was immediately slow while i was doing the configuration.
I thought that the rom was not stable and i decided to install another ROM but I had the same behavior... Phone slow and reboot everytime!
I decided to flash the custom google factory ROM by toolkit and to install again the recovery and try to flash another rom more "stable" like a CyanoGEN RC5. IN the first time was amazing! my phone was perfect, without lag and very fast, but after 4/5 days started the random reboot and lag!
the problem is that this problem emerge often but not always!
I tried to install 5 different rom, but I have always the same problem! after 4/5 days i have the same lag, delay and random reboot!
especially i have the problem with the original keyboard and swiftyFlow KB, often it's very slow...
normally I have 95/100 apps in my phone.
What can I do?
thanks a lot!!

Try Installing a rom of your choice, but don't download any apps (outside of the core GApps), or restore backups.
It may be to the fact that several apps are trying to sync data at the same time, or update through the Play Store. I know with some ROMs the scrolling its very jittery at first but once all the services connect and settle, its works fine.
I'm not sure if you've tried that, but let me know

ok, thanks!! tonight I am going to try!!
thank you!

How about flashing a new kernel? I only get this kind of lag on Paranoid Android when Halo is activated, using swiftkey is a nightmare, very slow to load, and other apps as well. Now I'm on Liquid Smooth 2.5 with Fancy Kernel and I'm very happy, not lag at all, it runs very fast even with the stock kernel.
Also, you should monitor your apps, may be one is running in the backgroung when you are not using it and it is sucking all your RAM.
Hope it helps!

Ak256 will speed things up a bit also lagfix is available from the play store also of you haven't already the transition speed to .5 in the developer options that also helps
sent from Atlantis

If nothing hepls, backup all your data, flash google stock image via fastboot, flash custom recovery and then try to flash any ROM you want. Also use a good ROM and kernel combination

Franco has been really good for me in the past, however to really gain the benefit you need a ROM that exposes the ability to adjust the CPU type/performance.

Their running services take substantial amount of Ram, I had this problem too. Then I used the V6 Supercharger script. Better now.

After clean installing and let ROM operating smoothly, I'm install all app that I used everyday and doing reboot. Suddenly I lost the gsm signal. I had to reinstall back the whole ROM again and just fine after that but i'm afraid to do reboot again. I'm assume it will happen again. Anybody had a same problem?

this room in my opition is the best for arc, but i got a problem when i update to v6 the drain battery goes to high, in night it drops 11% , wifi and music 53% in 3hours.
in version v5 this is more stable and no much drain, like 2% in a night.
can i do something?

happened to me also, but on viper 5. was pretty f*cked up, as I needed the phone badly in that moment :/
on viper 6 it didn´t happen, though I reverted back to 4.5, which gives the best performance.
Some features are missing, but 6.0 was unusable for me due to some Bugs and lags in gaming.
Rush Kernel 13 is the one I´m using atm, haven´t found a kernel that gives more speed and perfmormance yet.
Waiting for an Update on Viper, that improves it again

Battery drain is not rom problem.it your apps and other stuff that wont let your mobile into deep sleep.like whatsapp/Viber .

No one had that kind of probelm as far that i know.try flashing another kernel like Vengeance or Lupus it may solve your problem.make a backup with Cwm before you test any thing, if you do loos your signal than you can restore your backup again without installing every thing again.

Vengeance is good or lupus try those. and i am having no lags at all even not in nfs Mostwanted and which features are missing ? did you let your rom settle it down for a day or 2 ?? you know rom takes time to settle it self some time even a weak.afterwords things that your are having trouble with search here on xda and solve them one by one.i do it too like with every rom that i use Jerry is doing his best to provide us better cooked roms.
