those of you on jelly bean roms... - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

just curious, how are you finding the lack of flash? is it annoying? do you hardly notice it? are there any clever work-arounds?
it's one of the considerations that's keeping me off cm10 for the time being.

You're can side load flash and it runs just fine.
There is some info on it in my support/faq thread found in my signature

There'll be a way around it, yes. No 1.4 doesn't resolve this unfortunately.

I did ask, twice but no one replied.
So to get attention and show people this I made a new thread.
People need to know this problem and be able to find a way around it.

To be fair, it was asked numerous times before hand and was mentioned to be getting worked on.
Use the official bug tracker, it's mentioned in the second post of the official Open Desire thread.
BTW, it happened in a lot of vanilla roms (I had a Hero, and it happened on cyanogenmod port too, it took a while before getting it fixed).
TerrAme0, Really any need to comment? Thanks for your contribution...don't bother in the future.

2.3.4 MMS Question for AOSP Roms

simple answer is that you'll see a bunch of posts when it's fixed, it's being actively worked on but it's not a simple fix
In very much layman's terms, can anyone explain how something like this gets broken? Why does it work in one version and then not in the next? Thanks!
Different phones use different settings and different servers. Different networks use totally different ways of handling messages.

that, and that code gets re-written, updated, etc.
something gets updated or fixed, and some other thing could break because of it... what I do know is that CM is a community project, with amazing devs, and they are dealing with cutting edge software. we gotta remember that 2.3.4 is only (officially) on two phones right now, the Nexus One and Nexus S, both Google phones.
Someone posted a fix on the nightlies thread: MMS Fix Here

[ DEVS ONLY ] GT-I9100XXKP8 ICS 4.0.3 IML74K System Dump

MOD EDIT/NOTICE: You all accept the risks of flashing this - anyone caught complaining, flaming or idiot posting will receive a 24 hr ban. Off topic will also be subject to the same.
Here is the system dump & custom TAR of the ICS XXKP8 ROM that was leaked for the international version. This version will boot on our phones but without a CDMA kernel, there will no data, wifi, CWM, etc, so this is meant for DEVS\POWER USERS ONLY to play with.
DO NOT TRY FLASHING THESE FILES UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO REVERT TO A WORKING ROM AS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.7z - System dump plus zImage
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.tar - Flashable through ODIN
interesting, thanks for this. how far do you suppose we are from a somewhat functional ICS build?
ninja edit: first!
Oh man, thing's are getting hot in the kitchen.
So just a quick question: Why wont this won't brick our phones? Why have their been so many people with bricked phones for flashing international ROMs?
Other then that, awesome work. Just saw your Stock EL29 repack. Youre on fire !
Sweet, great job calkulin... you the man.
I'll do a quick review video of these for sure
This is a good starting point. We need to someone who can hack the 2.3 kernel to run Android 4.0

Because this is just the kernel & system files. If they flashed the complete tar(modem, bootloader, etc), then they definitely will cause a lot of issues
When you get that one bastardized kernel, it'll be good for all international ports to use for awhile til we get source
Has anyone been able to DL the .tar?

It has it's issues, front cam doesn't work(main cam works tho), rotation is inverted, no data, no wifi, etc but at least we get a feel for what the official ICS update will be like once it's released. If we get a working kernel, then fixing those issues wouldn't be that hard as I have fixed them before on the EVO ports but until we get a kernel, I'm not even going to start trying

Yep, although if you wait for it to unfreeze, you can then move around momentarily, before it freezes again...so far I can see that it DOES NOT have the face unlock, and other than settings, popup\menus and the Gmail app, which you can notice a difference right away, even without emails in it, it looks pretty much the same being that its TWIZ and not AOSP!

For many many reasons, not least of which was no significant progress towards ICS (which at that point needed CM7 as a prerequisite). Hopefully with the system files maybe someone can drag up that kernel and see if they can be made to work together but I think it is a CM kernel and I'm not sure that could be made to play with this...
Review of this port is up...

Not to rain on your parade, but we have pretty much perfect builds of CM7 and MIUI. Isn't this kind of redundant?

Why would you want that?

A) It is better for developers to use as a base and add more of their things.
B) Less memory used and less applications running, so less processes the CPU needs to handle.
C) If you want, you can add ONLY what you want, and that is it.
I still see no point to this. Users who are adept enough to use this will be adept enough to strip the CM7 rom we already have. Users who can't strip that one won't be able to use this one pretty sure.
As for devs, I'm pretty sure developers are either mostly moving to ICS or can debloat CM7 by themselves.
If you are working on solving bugs, adding features, or theming it, great. I don't really think debloating the crap out of a ROM is really useful though.

Try to run this versus a full un-decapricated ROM. This will run games better and handle everything better.

Exactly my point, if your able to flash these rom's you should know how to remove the "crap" by yourself. This seems like a huge waste of time and energy. Not to mention, if I was going to build a rom based off cm7 I would want everything cm7 includes in it originally.

Who says everyone wants those features? This is a ROM that comes with nothing. And then you add everything you want from the market. So no other apps with the same functuality are running in the background.

Cm7 is by and large designed to have no crap in it to begin with. ~180 MB too Much for ya?

Well if you install the ROM and can't do anything after setup, please install a launcher. If it still doesn't work. Please post it.

[Q] Any fixes for LED issue ? Also can a DEV make a better looking camera?

Ok so Ive flashed a few roms here and there. Including some of the Cm9 and aokp roms and also some darkside. I found a issue that kept reappearing in every flash, the LED lights at the bottom would not always work properly. They do not light up when you turn the phone on and only light up once unlocked or after 5-6 seconds.. are there any fixes? Ive trying wiping several ways and i always flash according to the OP.
Im now on xtremeperia and I gotta say its the most gorgeous ROM ever. But it still has that problem that will not go away! Ive Pm'd the Dev but they dont have a fix, wondering if anyone else does..
Also heres a question to the Developers. First and foremost I am amazed by the work you guys do! Its great!! Im wondering if one of you guys can design a new camera App, something with a sexier layout! The one found in AOkp and CM9 are just way too boring and makes the phone look cheap as well as the rest of the rom! The stock ones in GB are also a bit boring, wondering if someone can design one that looks like that of what we see on other phones/ as in a better layout. Also a shutter sound that sounds like a real shutter! not the silly nexus ones! lol Not trying to say or offend anyone but im sure lots of folks agree with me on this...
please dont tell me to download a camera app, it feels nice to have a awesome built in camera that is fully functional.
thanks!
First part - AOKP's LED's work perfect for me. Not sure why they at the very least, dont work with CM9.
Second part - Honestly, I doubt any redesigning will take place any time soon... However, you can download other stock apps? Try MIUI's it's nice, and has lots of features. However, it doesn't do video... Stock app for that? - Click here for the camera.

umm.. Isn't a built in camera app an app? Simply put you have to actually install one you download, which takes how long? If you are looking for one that installs with a rom, you could always bake up a rom in the kitchen that installs your 3rd party one of your choice..
