[Jelly Bean] VJ General and Q&A thread - Desire General

This thread is to help people with questions about my Jelly Bean ROM's.
Anything related to scripts (that I don't support for now)
[*]Anything related to re-size of my ROM
[*]Anything related to problems/issues you are facing which is not related to ROM (it can be third party apps)
[*]And questions in general....
Please respect everyone and help each other, If I am not replying to your messages doesn't mean I am not addressing you ( I will be busy always bringing in latest things)

Impression!
Firstly, your JB 4.2 rom is great though it still WIP.
Camera / video recoder still is a big issue on every JB rom excepts one here , how to fix it and related question still ahead. But I cant wait for a stable version, I am going to install and using your rom right now ^^
I'd love mobile photography, so I still looking for a new release include camera issues solved. For now, I am happy with your latest release! Thank for now and happy new year to you :victory:

Hi !
I have a question about the cpu governor :
- What is the best actually (ondemand ?)
- IO Scheduler, deadline ?
further very fast and very stable for me, my "tweak" for speed :
- KSM active
- 16 bits transparancy
- Dithering disabled
- 0,5x for each transition/animation/windows
Another dot : I have deleted all the ringtones to make space (before flash), and now I have only 504kb free on system, strange ? (stock hboot)
thanks VJ

Most of he tings are working well but I found some minor issues:
1. Random apps closed unexpectedly
2. I cannot enter to developer options, i got the message "Unfortunately, settings has stopped"
3. Strange java exception with fbreader and aldiko when open new book
4. Ugly artifacts when using camera
5. Missing FM radio application, it will be great if there is an internal app
I am using 4.0 and just find that there is 4.1.

Quick setting panel not work properly!
Bug report on your latest release:
Quick setting panel not work properly, it's missing on normal mode and just show properly in landscape mode
EDIT: Solved.

Also it will be great if you find little bit time to update the first page of the dev post with more information about ROM's features, know bugs and etc.
At the moment there is not such information except in the posts, but the you should read all of them if you want to find something you looking for ....

General question about recovery: a bit afraid to mess up the phone. I use Amon_RA recovery for the moment but read everywhere that it's better to use 4EXT. Can I simply install that recovery over the Amon_RA one? And then I can easily repartition the internal memory?
Many thanks for the guidance!

Yes just run the 4EXT recovery apk and it will overwrite the existing recovery.
Take a back up of your SD card, wipe everything, partition 1-1.5gb of ext4 as primary partition and rest fat32. Ignore other secondary partitions. Its pretty straight forward with the tool.
Good luck.

On CM10.1 I find the interactive governor works best, along with a minor overclock to 1113. It's super smooth at that. I also use the same 0.5x animation tweeks. I do not like the 16 bit transparancy or disabling dithering, just don't like how it looks.
I'll give KSM a shot. I haven't tried that.

I've tried it and it's true that there is some issues with it. Less than with the V3 but still there.
I think the main problem is that chrome need a lot of memory available and use more process / CPU than the original navigator.
Just a thing I want to know. I tried the V4 and the V4.1. In the V4, it was possible to add a widget with a long press on the desktop but when I've installed the V4.1, I wasn't able to find this functionality anymore.
Well, I didn't have the time to wipe and redo the installation again so I would like to know if it's just me or if this functionnality has been removed intentionnaly ?
Another question, about the lockscreen this time.
In the version 4.1.2, it was possible to change the wallpaper of the lockscreen but with the new one, they have removed this functionnality. Does anyone know how to change it to have a wallpaper different from the desktop ? (I know it's not from the rom but android itself)
Still, even if it has less fonctionnality, I prefer the previous one ... It would have been better if it was possible to arrange the lockscreen with widget (or app ?) like the desktop ! (well, it's just my point of view)

[08.Jan.2012] Jama's Android 4.0.3 CM9 ICS Beta 6

Welcome to Jama's ICS CM9
This is the first rom I have attempted to build. What I have done was combined Tytungs NexusHD ICS with the workings of CM9. This is my own personal build that I decided to share with everyone. Each rom seems to have its own advantages and disadvantages and I think I have the best daily available in my opinion.
This is all still in beta so there will be bug so post and ill do my best to correct them as fast as I can.
Anyone finds anything not working let me know.
Recommend clean install to upgrade to 4.0.3
Downloads
For Magldr please use a 220/10 partition size
Magldr download:Jamas_CM9_ICS_magldr_beta6.zip..........mirror
CLK download:Jamas_ICS_CM9_ICS_clk_beta6.zip.........mirror
CLK users.......Flash NexusHD2-Kernel_2.6.32.15_tytung_ICS_Beta8-v2-cLK-update.zip
For those who want it here it is. ICS with CM9 settings. Remember these are not complete and some options are still not available. Most likely will see a few bugs, just post and we will try and fix. Will also notice during first boot you il get a few things that fc and stop. Once phone sits for a minute you will hae to go into your aps and disable the 4-6 duplicate apps this is causeing the FC's, after that you should have no issues. Wil post MAGLDR for now to se what kind of responses I get.
Recommend 220/10 partition size
Jamas_CM9_ICS_beta6.5.zip........................mirror With CM settings.
Recommend a clean install. Updates from my rom can be just flashed over.
First boot takes about 5-10 mins, so be patient. Once phone is booted its good to let in settle in before really going to work on it. Makes things run smoother.
Optional soft keys download:
Please go here if you would like the soft keys. Soft keys
All credits goto Tytung who created a flashable zip for us to use. All credits for the fix go to rapmv78 for making it possible to use the camera on our ICS HD2's

Not sure about the grey wifi icon. Im assuming that your google account is synced? My wifi icon is blue and so is everyone elses that I personally know that is using my rom. Not having any lag issues here. I also use setcpu. Clean install??

As long as everything is synced then you should get the blue icons.
For example now. The icons are blue but still while in wifi internet does not work. Any how. Now the phone seems a tad smoother because I forced gpu rendering

You can shut off window animations also to help with speed. Wifi not working I really dont know. You can try to redownload and reflash, maybe bad download. Remember to always let the phone settle for 5-10 mins after you flash it. Phone becomes more stable the longer you allow it to settle in.
Setting no animations did the trick and the wifi seems to be working awesome

cm9 AOKP a joke ?

All the effort i see invested in CM9-CM10_AOKP with as mayor problem that all the memory gets consumed so that only few applications can run ????
I ask myself why !!!
Tried out CM9/CM10/OAKP(franklin)) and installed a2sdx and int2ext4+ .... just to be able to get some applications running
Not only is the thing getting horribly slow and very buggy it is in fact completely unusable at this time.
Ex standard applications as Google play are completely failing ....
it is possible to download aps and install them manually but then you can not support it any more.....
These are NOT rom's for daily use. not in a long shot .
its back to good old Piethtz who took pride in finishing stuff untill it was WORKING AND STABLE.
Bugs in AOKP (franklin) just use it it fails and crashes
bugs in CM9 lagging like hell practicably impossible to use the keyboard
and do not tell me not to use a2sd functionality it's simply not worth it for 2 applications/not even for 30 ... then Stock roms are way better.
A long as that memory limitation problem is there android notebooks and phones are dead, not worth investing in not in 2012
If their architecture is such that this is killing the use we should abandon android architecture its mis concieved
this is not the quality of windows
this is not the quality of linux
this is not yet .....
if installing multiple applications use a simple symbolic or direct link is getting in so much trouble the real quality of the whole is not Good
with all respect for the work of ericas and ....
signing off
you should know there isnt an old windows phone or whatever that can run windows 8 via an unofficial way.
ics/jb is not made for our gio's, and so, it wont work as good as you want it to be. if you want that, buy a galaxy s3. they even give you a better screen and processor.
so stfu and live with it or get rich and buy high end smartphones.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
Did you try link2sd?
By the way I've just installed this rom, and I think it's the first usable Android 4 for Gio.
Camera and camcorder working finally, everything's running stable and smooth (yet).
The only thing I haven't experienced yet is battery life. If it can take 1.5-2 days with average usage, it will pass my high standards that no other non-stock based rom have passed yet.
Oh, and after installing some basic apps(Skype, Maps, GMail, TC, etc...), I still have 108MB free on internal mem.
So no, it's not a joke, it's the best ROM out currently for Gio (a smooth camcorder like the TW Camera in stock would be good, but this is just a minor negative point if you take the features that ICS gives into consideration).
I say this after trying about 30 different ROM's in the past half year...
I'm sorry to ask you this: did you pay for his work? which makes you right for komplain about it?
installed a2sdx and int2ext4+ .... just to be able to get some applications running
this is your problem
two scripts that do the same thing
chose only one of them (i recomment cronmod int2ext+ if you want that kind of script, i use link2sd and link only the games)
and in developer settings choose force gpu rendering(for better battery aver all) and smartassv2 or interactive
Some bugs
Can someone please post this in the dev thread? I don't have 10 posts yet...
So far I've found these four bugs:
-(MINOR) Ringtones play only once if there's no ANDROID_LOOP=true OGG metatag in the sound file. By the metatag it seems rather a feature than a bug, but in 2.3.x roms it was not needed, and it can really troll new rom users. Please fix if possible, or write instructions (convert file to ogg and set the metatag, that's all but it needed me a lot of googling to find it)
-(MAJOR) Init.d settings (at rom settings) cause heavy load, and settings won't stay (su permission request accepted of course). It can't be enabled at all because of this.
-(MAJOR) Google Talk from gapps-ics-20120429 FC with "Need GTalk_SERVICE permission".
Tried first by just installing talk.apk (extracted from gapps) as system app, then by flashing the whole gapps zip, then with full wipe, rom reflash and flashing gapps immediately after rom flash, but no luck. Tried CWM fix permission too (no effect), but couldn't try rom init.d feature fix permissions due to the previous bug.
-(CRITICAL) If I go outside the signal area of a WIFI AP (without turning off wifi) and there's no other available connection (I don't have mobile net atm), the whole system crashes when an application tries to initiate a connection.
No response to:
-Touch
-Back softkey long set to kill
-Pwr hardkey, home hardkey
Only removing battery helps, however my live wp (phase beam, the one that's integrated in the rom) moves until that.
It happened two times:
-Wifi dropped due to signal loss, unlock phone, push browser icon, browser icon glows, crash
-Wifi dropped due to signal loss, unlock phone, open wifi settings (with wifi powerswitch longpress), select another ap to connect to, start to enter wpa passphrase, crash after typing 4 chars (some process in the background may have tried to initiate a connection meanwhile)
If you can't reproduce tell me and I'll try in USB Debug to get a logcat dump.
I still say this is the best ICS/JB rom out for Gio, but if you can fix these it'll be completely perfect

installing multiple a2ad.. methods one after the other gives similar errors that disappear when not installed. Up to no one published this serious memory handling BUG in the center of ics cm9/scm10/aokp biggest problem area.
problems in the center area need to be solved if people want to believe in any future for the Rom.
why invest time in any os if people are not assured the main problem lack of memory handling poses a risk of complete failure
that is the reason for the"is this a joke?"
the hard work of the developers is NOT assured questioned nor diminished
I refered to linux and windows as basic fundamental robustness as a base.
individual apps anoi one person.failure into the core make everything fail

In my opinion I find your AOKP to be the most efficient and stable ROM I have installed on my phone so far. The battery so far has lasted up to 2 days while I have been receiving calls and playing games and its only at 66%! I am loving your ROM. No crashes so far. Thanks for all your (and erikcas, jellaxy's) hard work.

No tweak. Some apps uninstalled from system (trebuchet, live wp's), and link2sd that's all. With link2sd Google Maps is on SD, maybe it's background service doesn't like it, apart from it there's nothing wrong I could've done.
CPU settings: clocks at stock, governor is SAv2.
About 1 crash / day. Newer crashes seemed unrelated to wifi signal drop.

[Q] Which ROM? Or back to Stock for a fast phone

Hello
I have enjoyed having djolivier's JB ROM in my phone. But it is still so much slower than Stock. I need to be able to dial, text and search straight away. I have a class 10 SD, I'm using Int2Ext+ I don't have a lot of apps, I only partitioned 512MB to try and speed it up.
I upgraded to get the Gmail App with Primary Inbox etc. but Gmail is so slow I hardly use it
Do I need to go back to stock with Link2SD? Or Stock with Int2Ext+? Or is there a ROM out there that is really actually so fast that the app opens when you touch it - not 5 or 25 laggy seconds later?
This may not be the correct place for this - but I don't get straight answers on other sections of the forum.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Chris
Hello. First of all I have to tell you that in my oppinion, the Wildfire S hardware is a bit weak, so you can't avoid the 5 laggy seconds for an app to open... But, I 'll tell you which roms are the fastest for me.
1. Stock. This is what I use. I like its performance, but I dislike it visually. I use a Sense 4 theme and live with it.
2. CM9. I my oppinion the fastest custom rom until now. It lacks one thing: Video recording. Someone could talk about the laggy video playback but Henry_01 modified some lib files in his MIUI port, and video playback is working there. So I replaced the libs in CM9 and it worked too. So If you don't care about video recording you can use this one.
3. JDevs upcoming update seems a lot promising to me, and this is what I'm waiting for to replace stock.
As for the scripts, in terms of speed:
Link2sd > int2ext+ >int2ext
I use stock android 2.3.5 Sense 2.1 with Link2sd.
This is what I think is the best, until now.
edit: I forgot the Cyanogenmod 10.1 by OWL project, it's good and fast too. But in my opinion cm9 is better, in terms of performance.

Thanks so much for your response. One follow up question. You're saying Link2SD is the best for speed? When I installed a JB rom without int2ext there was not enough memory to even start installing apps..... did I do something wrong? I don't want to go back to the days of uninstalling apps so I can update the ones with large memory etc.

You 're right. Link2sd worked succesfully only on GB and ICS for me too. You didn't do anything wrong, so use only int2ext(+) with JB.....

Someone could talk about the laggy video playback but Henry_01 modified some lib files in his MIUI port, and video playback is working there. So I replaced the libs in CM9 and it worked too. So If you don't care about video recording you can use this one.
3. JDevs upcoming update seems a lot promising to me, and this is what I'm waiting for to replace stock.
As for the scripts, in terms of speed:
Link2sd > int2ext+ >int2ext
I use stock android 2.3.5 Sense 2.1 with Link2sd.
This is what I think is the best, until now.
edit: I forgot the Cyanogenmod 10.1 by OWL project, it's good and fast too. But in my opinion cm9 is better, in terms of performance.

Would you mind linking to which CM9 ROM you would suggest? Trying to breathe some life into my phone again.

For me this is the best CM9 rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245617&highlight=slimsandwich
As it is, it has 2 bugs: no camera recording and slightly buggy video playback. If you want, I can fix the video playback and provide it to you tomorrow.
Although, I would suggest that you wait for the next big project by the owl team, based on android 4.2.2.
edit: Better use this link to SlimSandwich, as here, in xda it's not the latest version posted: https://teamblueridge.org/projects/files/
Rom > Marvel > Slimsandwich-marvel
Or tell me to give it to you with working libs for video playback.
Thanks for the info. The problem with owls project is that WiFi tethering is and has been broken for a long time and I hardly see them fixing it. I'll try out slimsandwich. I'm mainly looking for a fast, responsive ROM, not many features.

Google Now
Is Google Now working? I tried to use it and didn't work. My GNex starts to go on a "loop" with the error in google search.

Now i'm having problem with the process "com.android.systemui" it´s always showing that was interrupted
Backlight occasionally off
Sometimes, when I wake the device, the backlight is off. Changing the brightness setting will get the backlight to turn on, but this is only really possible to do in a well lit area so I can see the screen without the backlight being on. If this a bug or am I being stupid with something.
Using standard kernel and haven't played with the brightness meter settings.
Came here from LiquidSmooth
I'm using LS 3.1 with the Dirty-V kernel and 1350 MHz overclocked CPU, it's a very fast/smooth ROM but it takes too much RAM... GNL is often killed and I've a max of 4 average sized apps at once.
What do you advice me ? Is the Beta stable enough as a daily setup ?
Also I had lot of issues with PA GApps by the past, I'd like to know if it's OK to use Slim GApps with this ROM
Thanks in advance
Just wanted to say that the beta version on my vzw galaxy nexus has been running great since Saturday! Only one freeze, but everything I've tried (except stock camera, as noted) works great! Had to install the older Netflix apk and zoom fx but WiFi tether, gmail, NFL mobile streaming live games and red zone yesterday works with no problems. Its very smooth too!! Data and cache on f2f and dalvick, not art as suggested.....
Quandrant standard was a 3965. I don't really pay much attention to benchmarks but I thought I would run it and post results but I can't seem to load the screenshot? Ha
Certainly planning to run this as my daily and really happy too!!
Thank you for your hard work guys!!
Edit: has anyone running the beta version messed with force GPU rendering and/or disable HW overlays to see how the GPU drivers respond?
No baseband
I can also confirm that after upgrade to 15.10.2014 there is no network.
Baseband version: Unknown
mobile data not enable
i flashedd this rom..but my mobile data is no service..sorry my bad english..
It works with flashing the older boot.img from 08.10.2014
After flashing the boot.img from the 08.10.2014 rom image, now I have mobile network on 15.10.2014 image.
No service
I have installed just the rom and i dont have service, did i do something wrong ..
can you say me what i have to do "step-by-step"
hi
i have one question , is this ROM stable enough for daily usage?
i dont flash nightlys every day, so i wonder if there's a stable nightly with the new GPU drivers
thanks

The only problem that I have encountered with omnirom is the inability to use a USB stick with the otg dongle. I believe I read somewhere that it is an unresolved issue with the ROM. Does anyone have any additional info on this? Also, has anyone found a workaround solution to this issue? Thanks.
LCD density?
I'm taking the "stable" version of this ROM for a spin now, and I like it very much. The only thing I miss is the LCD density setting that some ROMs have (slimkat, c-rom). Did I miss this somewhere in the settings? Setting the font to small is the closest thing I found.
thanks for that
Google Camera
Google Camera 2.4.023 appears to fix the camera crash on 20141015 beta. It seem to be working just fine, for me at least. Is it the same for everyone else?
Installed FML yesterday, the only problem I have is this:
pictures will not load. neither on gallery, nor on wallpaper selection or third party apps like QuickPic. The image files are definetily there (can see them through my pc) but the phone cannot load them. Tried clearing the data on Media manager, cleared cache/dalvik cache but nothing yet. What's the issue here?
volume wake
Hello
thanks for the rom and can you put volume to wake device because my power botton is broken.
thanks
Thanks for the fast and smooth ROM. I'd like to put a request for a kernel update that allows color settings (color balance, gamma and contrast) to be changed, as the Galaxy Nexus screen is notoriously poorly calibrated. Trickster mod and other kernel tweakers expose these settings with most kernels but not here.
I read at the main thread. I've bootloop to. I did the right instructions, but it doesn't work. TWRP 2.8.1.0, latest version of bootloader
Beta KitKat
Is the KitKat ROM Beta stable enough ?
I've read about too many issues (screenshot, camera, ...)
Thanks

Does HDR work on this ROM? I've tried quite a few ROM's on my N5 and in most the HDR in google camera was non-existent in the options menu.
Is this a bug?
I've been looking through settings, and I can't find how to disable heads up notifications. I also tried search and that didn't do any good. Is the option missing? Or am I just blind?
ROM is great
But i've got a feature request for you. Previously i saw this only in mod for stock and in one rom. I'm talking about linking nav bar and status bar colours feature. Idk how it will be practical, but looks nice.
Fixed Camera Error on 04/08 build
I don't know if this post helps, but right after flashing Glitch kernel r320 I got the camera to work, so could it be that stock kernel has some issues?
Latest Update - what kernel is compatible
Hi there I'm curious what kernel works wittehe latest Chroma update as well as any additional files needed for f2fs. Thanks!
Btw best and quickest ROM I've used to date love the minimal GApps and overall speed/mem usage
I didnt found where to post it properly, so...
I found a bug in AOSP keyboard. When you try to change language, it force closes. Sometimes it closes when you open keyboard, sometimes it dont. I tried to use layers, completly same resoult. The ony modification i use is RRO Layers. Logcat present.
Hope you provide fix soon.
WOW
I think this is the best
Sick of damn crap memory leak on my galaxy note4 lollipop(5.0.1) + touchwiz crap
i found this rom is super awesome managing ram
system ram only 250~300mb!!!! wow!!!
now i installed about 200+ of 3rd party apps, many of them can stay alive, and i can load them very fast whenever i want!
I want to install this ROM but I'm unable or perhaps unwilling to give up the ElementalX app that was pulled from play store. So here's my problem. After I install ROM I try and restore ElemX app via TiBu it says I didn't purchase it. I know this isn't a problem with the ROM but perhaps someone knows a workaround.

Please ignore this post.Problem resolved.
this rom overclocked by cpu at 1. 7 ghz, is it okay to overclock. and xposed 5. 1 unofficial isn't working. I flashed it but got bootlop...
I have too few posts to post in the main thread, but just wanted to say thank you for this ROM. Finally a fully stable, fast, and up-to-date ROM that has everything functioning and adds only the extras that I also consider essential such as AppOps/Privacy Guard and power menu.
Great job.
The ONLY issue I've found on my Nexus 7-2013 seems related to the Franco Kernel and not your ROM exactly. The included kernel works with all Camera/USB-OTG/GPS/Wifi, but if you update to the latest R21 release with the Franco Updater app, it will cause the camera to be unable to connect.
I'm currently using the ElementalX-4 kernel instead and it seems fully compatible, and all devices including the Camera work.
Thanks again.

Very nice ROM
Using it for few weeks and love it. Very stable, tried different layers and looks great. Thank you for a wonderful job and hope the updates will be coming, even though it's been discontinued
Alexander
No issues for me. Great work!
Also having issues with media control option.
i still got that home-button glitch
read quite some posting about it, but could not ind out if it was solved or if it will vanish with a new rom.....i am on the latest for n7
I'm having an issue with screen rotation. I can get it to landscape at all. Also it doesn't look like my brightness slider works at all either.
Any ideas?

Hello,really love the Rom. Just updated to the new version, fresh clean flash. Everything is running really smooth so far. Have a quick question about the settings menu, maybe I'm missing something but has the expanded desktop option been removed. I need the option to play clash of clans in full screen on my second user account. Any help is greatly appreciated
Latest build running great.
