Hi Devs,
Just posting this for anyone with ideas or workarounds...
Just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to speed up the startup time for the Phone Dialer and Contacts (especially) ? I have tried quite a few replacements and have always gone back to stock for various reasons:
- It just integrates well with the ROM
- It is functionally better
We do after all have a phone and it it seems silly that Samsung has not improved this annoying "bug" in the last iteration of its ROMs.
I compare this with HTC phones where you start either and it comes up very snappy!
Anyway, just a thought and hope someone it game to take up the idea
Erm.....just flash a custom kernel/rom!

Yes, by the looks of it I should have to downgrade to Froyo Bootloaders and a Froyo based ROM using EZBase and then flash Insanity and then GAPPS.
Just not sure if I should try it since it does take a while to set up all of this and then some more if I decide to go back.
Which is why I was asking how good is this ROM?
It is very good imho, but it does have the usual cm7 bugs(crap fm radio, mediocre battery life, poor 720 video recording, but is very customizable, very fast, and its not samsung!

What about the GPS? I have always had problems with the Froyo GPS. As soon as I went to any GB ROM all the problems (cannot get/maintain a lock, long time to get a lock) went away.
Phone and contacts launch with zero delay if they been launched once, the phone caches the information to the memory.

I know that. But the OS will kill it after a while and when you try and use it again LAG AGAIN!

I noted is SGS stock is, if you are storing contact in gmail, you get a 1-2 second delay in loading, generally insignificant. 2nd possibility is if your contacts with pictures, there may be a slight delay.
For the last the last 3 months I am on CM7 nightly, there is no delay even all my contacts in gmail and some with pictures.
Andromadus - Test Builds
To start with here you will find test versions of ROMs built by me from the Andromadus github repo http://github.com/Andromadus, think of them along the same concept as nightly builds just not every night These are development ROM's, if you want to run bleeding edge development ROM's and at least know how to use adb and logcat then you might find something of interest here. If you require something that works 100% of the time all of the time then this might not be for you. That said you can always give it a try and if it doesn't work restore your previous nandroid backup!
What IS Andromadus?
Initially it was a group of people who got together to make ICS work on the HTC Desire Z because nobody else seemed to want to support devices with physical hardware keyboards/trackpads. Whilst the idea stays the same It has grown slightly to support some other hardware and some of the work we have done is now used in many other devices. Andromadus builds of CM10 or CM10.1 are basically CM sources with a few additional tweaks or additions to support our phones.
1. New versions will be added as and when I feel there are enough changes to warrant one, don’t ask when the next version is coming.
2. If we decide to release a "Stable" version of these roms they will be published in another Andromadus thread.
Direct all your queries with release versions to that thread and in the same vain do not discuss these releases anywhere but here.
3. I will do as best I can to answer questions but if you don't get an answer from me I'm sure somebody else will be along to help. Help each other and I have more time to spend fixing things!
4. Don't ask for what's changed since the previous version, have a look at the recent submits on the Andromadus github if you want to know or wait for the mini changelogs when I post a new release.
5. If there is something in particular to test it'll be mentioned!
6. As always if you didn't wipe between installations then at least verify that the problem exists on a clean install before posting here. Nandroid/superwipe/install/check at the end of the day you can always restore your nandroid if the problem is reproducible on a clean installation. If you can't be bothered to try this then I really can't be bothered to try to help you :>
7. All that said ensure you make a nandroid/backup before hand. I take no responsibility for what you do to your phone with these ROM.
8. Whilst I can't stop you I would rather these builds were not used as a base for any ROM/MOD/ETC. The source is all available if you want to do your own builds with which you can do whatever you like.
9. Tell us what works/what's worse/what's better but don't ***** when something breaks or isn't fixed yet, report it and move on.
10. Sometimes people forget that we do this for fun, for ourselves, and sometimes your super important issue is way down on our personal list of things to be fixed.
If you ignore any of the above you will in turn be ignored.
Now that's all out of the way as always have fun
As usual you need to flash the ROM then GAPPS.
Checkout http://andromadus.flinny.org for links/files/changelog's
This a team/community effort, I'll not list everyone who has helped along the way here that list is in the beta thread but I will say thanks to all of them again and obviously anyone that has been missed.

Wooo! Trying this
Can I flash directly over 4.1.2 build 129?
or would you recommend a clean wipe : ]
or check the link to the new website on the OP
I would suggest doing a wipe as Gapps etc are all different... if you do try an upgrade then I would suggest backing up... flashing rom/new gapps/wipe cache/dalvik at least.. then most likely finding it didn't work and having to wipe anyway
Nick.
Thx so much. I will try it.
Just tried installing directly over 129, rotation broke so I'm going to try from a full wipe. ( everything else is hunky dory really, although took a quite some time for the phone to calm down and get back to it's usual pace)
By the by, I notice the kill all icon from 129 is gone, is there anyway I can add that myself rather than wait for an update? ( as it's super handy!)
Thanks again flinny and Andromadus folks! My phone is even more woosh woosh and fancy than ever before.
Great job Flinny! You have done quite a lot.
just a question... what is the difference between the cm10.1 and the aosp 4.2? Is cm10.1 the beta release? or are they new test builds based off of cm and not just aosp?

ASOP is stock Android, CM10.1 is with Cyanogenmod and Andromadus tweaks. ( I.E more things to mess about with! yay)
Okay got all my apps reinstalled after a fresh wipe and this Rom is daaamn smooth.
All the default apps run without a hitch, and none of my extra apps have caused any issues either ( got 50 installed)
Just needs lock screen short cut tweaks, statusbar/notifcation tray colour/alpha picker and a kill all apps button and this would be puurrfect.
More than happy to use it as is though, runs great.

Thanks flinny~~
It's so wonderful~
But I can't find the CM's function, like "Performance",
If the CM 10.1 have some function not implement??
Some features have not yet been ported to 10.1 by the CM team yet. But performance and developer are hidden in all 4.2 builds until you do the tap build number thing
Does anyone know what is happening with Unofficial CM10 Nightlies. I have been using it as my daily ROM but there havent been any updates for a while now?
Ive had 2 issues that I reading the thread hasn't come up.
1) Sometimes when I unlock my phone I have to put my SIM lock code in. It has done this quite a few times but it normally happens when I am in an area of very poor HSDPA reception and it keeps switching between that and Edge.
2) Sometimes Wifi stops working and I can't turn off Wifi to then turn it on again. The slider will go across but then when I exit and go back into wifi it still shows as on and searching. I have to reboot to fix it.
Anyone else had this?

I think synergye is working hard on 4.2. cfX 4.1.2 has not been updated recently either.
Thats what I thought and was hoping
I can live with a few bugs whilst we wait for 4.2.....
What is the difference with cfX and CM10?

Well, unlike with 4.1.2 (where CM10 and cfX are split), cfX 4.2 combines base AOSP (not CM10.1) and cfX (with a bunch of extra customization settings) into a single ROM. You can set a toggle in CfX Settings that will turn off cfX settings altogether, making it essentially pure AOSP.
Sounds interesting. Ill have to try cfX when 4.2 comes out then.
Does anyone know if CM10 links your contacts to Facebook? In my contacts list none of my facebook photos are showing for my contacts.

Bluemont doesn't work; most other bugs are very minor. It depends on your use requirements.
According to you which will be the first AOSP 4.3 based ROM available for users?
CM
AOKP
PA
or others?

I'm interested in the bluetooth changes. I have never been able to get bluetooth working without bugs no matter the release on AOKP. It has always had little quirks / bugs that are super annoying.
Any chance 4.3 addresses some of the 4.2 BT bugs? Or does anyone know a rom where BT works flawlessly? I use it so often I need it to work well and it just doesn't work well on AOKP currently for me.

Bluetooth works great on Tasks latest release. Also haven't seen any complaints lately in the CM thread.
Cm will be the first. They already have an N4 booting 4.3 (kinda).

Maybe for you.... on my device it's never worked "great". Most of the time, it "gets by" for me. I get constant random reboots when on BT, doesn't auto connect to stuff properly, i still get "turning bluetooth off....." message. I've almost always have these issues on task's 4.2.2 rom no matter which build or how it was loaded (complete wipe, etc). There was 1-2 rom builds with his rom that worked really well BT wise for me then the rest just seem to struggle to keep up with the rest of the rom It really sucks because I LOVE everything about the rom. I just wish I knew how to fix BT!!!
I'm hoping the 4.3 BT changes that come will have some benefit for the BT bugs i've seen.
Hello,
I've got recently this phone and I kind of like it. The only reason was the qwerty keyboard.
The biggest problem I have with this phone is the sound. Every messenger app (skype, yahoo, viber etc) has the same problem. The receiving sound is slow and ununderstandable.
The current ROM installed CM 10.1 Kernel 3.1.10 android 4.2.2
I am a newbie in installing ROMs, but if I could I'd go straight to android 2.3.5
CM 10.1 is very laggy, with lots of problems (missing calls, GPS connectivity, maps, performance etc).
Anyone had this problem and solved it?
Thank you
P.s. I searched in the forum about this issue, but didn't have much luck.
Whos CM 10.1 are you using? Also CM 10.1 is no longer being updated,I suggest you use CM 10.2 by Bubor or a 4.3+ ROM
If you need more help please post back
The sound issue is with voice recording, any action with VoIP, dictaphone, voice dialing etc. will make sound playback distorted for some time. This issue exist in any ROM after stock ICS, so if this is very important for you, you'd better stay with stock. Here's the link: Stock UCLJ3.
If you wish a newer ROM, such as CM 10.1.3 or CM 11, there is workaround with VoIP sound called Tinyalsa stack, but it broke GSM call receiving sound. You can look here.
Also, I should say that CM 10.1.3 and CM 11 I linked have almost no issues beside this VoIP. GPS working great, no missing calls, no reboots, great performance and no battery draining. But I recommend to try and find what will suit you best.

Hello,
Yes I use skype calling a lot, I need this feature working. So you are suggesting me to install the android 4 stock version from samsung, but from what I red, there is an issue with the qwerty keyboard light. If this is true, it confirms my first idea to go with android 2.3.5
Thank you for your replies!
Samsung fixed the keyboard issue and a lot of other stuff in their 2nd release of stock ice. If you see those types of complaints, they are from the first revision.
I'm running stock and the only two issues I have is general UI laggieness (which is expected since its stock with bloat and not really optimized, also running on an older phone with no project butter). Along with messaging notifications failing to make any noise at random. I'll get a new text message and the screen will light up, but doesn't viberate or make a sound at random. Incoming calls still ring just fine though.
Other than those two issues (lag really isn't an issue for me), stock works just fine for me.

Yes, I recommend to install stock 4.0.4, it's the best way I know to have working GSM and Skype calling at the same time without needing to switch alsas stacks. j.asir here using new CM with tinyalsa fix and terminal shortcut - that's a bit inconvenient, but at this time there's no better way to go if you wish to have newest android and skype calls.
I newer tried 2.3.5 ROM on this phone, so I can't comment anything about it. If you try vanilla 2.3.5, please write about the results!

Hi @Makshow, have you considered using a 2.3.5 ROM? I have considered the possibility of doing so as I've heard that our device running GB has no issues at all... or so I've heard, but I honestly haven't had the time to test it. I was considering the possibility of using Inception (Back in black), but the download links are not available. If my Glide would work smooth and with no issues with GB I'd be glad to use it. If you decide to go for a GB ROM could you please provide me with some feedback? I would really appreciate it if you do so. I am not so cool with using ICS as stock is very battery & RAM consuming. And I was not so convinced using Litekernel or literom. Literom is really cool, but it has some issues and glitches that I found very disturbing. If you do go for GB please provide me with some feedback :highfive: Regards
I got this phone with new ROM already installed, so I won't try flashing 2.3.5 GB Android, I have no experience with this at all. Sorry. And I doubt that there weren't any issue with GB, one can search older posts in these forums and see that there were many bugs and bloat and troubles.
As for working download link for INC3PTION 2.3.5 ROM, there is one from Androide3 here. You can try it.

Hello @Androide3, thank you for your response. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues? Is your battery life good? How about RAM usage?
BTW is there a specific method to install this ROM? I ask since I have never used GB. My phone came with ICS already

try it out and i would suggest omnirom to you if u prefer simplicity.

Finally I did it!
Finally I did it!
Ok, it was very easy and I feel kind of stupid :laugh: but as for the first time I'm still proud.
The major problem I couldn't install the stock rom was because of twrp. I had a old version, 2.4 I believe.
I managed to over install cwm v 6.whatever which was compatible with i927 and re-tried to install the stock rom and IT WORKED!
The stock rom is great! the phone is much much much quicker than with cm10.2. All features work! skype calls, voice recording, map, camera rotation, etc. Will see if I will lose any missed call.
The problem, I'm facing now is the sd card and internal memory which were inverted during cm10.2, but I am sorting things out.
I'm a bit disappointed that I lost all the installed apps with cm10.2. and I can not re-install them again. I have only the option to update it which won't work. Any idea?
