[Q] Questions regarded Sprint Touchwiz Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Leak

I have a question regarding the new Jelly Bean leak ROM. I went through the official thread before posting, however if I missed something, I am sorry for the redundancy. Since I am under the 10 post minimum I cannot post in the official thread.
My question is when my phone is locked I usually press the lock button to turn the screen on to put in my pattern, however when the screen lights up, the edges flash blue and red for a quick second. If I remember correctly there's a LCD screen test that produces these affects. I was wondering if this was normal or just a glitch found in the ROM. Or do I have a setting that needs unchecked/checked?
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

i seems to be happening to a lot of people. Some think its at fault due to Touchwiz Launcher. I use Apex Launcher and haven't had that problem with the phone since I flashed it.

I am still on LIG and I have never noticed this on my phone. I think this may be somewhat unique to LIH. Which version are you on?

Whew, good deal! I was a little worried I went about flashing the kernel, modem, and rom wrong. I'm new to all this as this is my first smartphone lol. Thanks for the input, I'll try playing around with different launchers and see if that helps. Appreciate it once again!

I'm on LIH. Haven't seen the flash yet. So hopefully that helps you, if not, change modems.

[Q] AOKP (KangXperiaProject) 4.1.2 on XperiaS [BUGS]

Hello people!
I have not long been using AOKP for very long, but i can say overall i love it, i have a few issues though.
I am aware of course it is a unofficial ROM and to expect it to run perfectly would be ridiculous and i was hoping if anybody had experienced anything similar and had any solutions?...
- My headphone jack has 100% stopped working since installing is ROM, i even reinstalled an old backup of MIUIv4 and it was working fine so it defiantly isn't the hardware.
- Black screen notifications, if i received an IM like whatsapp or even a SMS my led would light up and the screen backlight will turn on but its just a black screen?
- Fail to unlock screen first time around, now this doesn't happen all the time, maybe 30-40% of the time, but ill press the unlock button... the backlight will turn on but again its just a black screen, so i have to re-lock and unlock again and it will 100% work the second time... its kind of annoying.
Other than that the ROM works fine for me, i really don't want to lose the JB OS... is there a stable alternative maybe? or hopefully a simple fix.
By the way is based on their latest build.
Thanks!

UPDATE: ive given the ROM a go and i must say its a lot more stable than i thought it would be when its a "mishmash" of different ROMs put together.
i still have the headphone jack issue thought, i read a few other forums that people are experiencing using ROMs based on CM10... have you not had this issue?

Chilys pacman rom problems

Noticing a few problems. With the new pac
Cm10 themes don't stick for the status bar. Switching menus causes colors to default green.
SD card randomly unmounting. I have reverted back to cm7 due to this. SD card never has problems on cm7.
And dpi changing only works in Landscape.
Quick question, any chance we can get a contacts app with facebook fix integrated?
Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to the dev. forum. I had a small issue as well and I'm not sure if it was just me or what. When I flashed PAC3, I used the goo.im app to find the appropriate gapps for the phone, and it (several times) found the 4.1.2 version from October 2012. This caused the process, com.google.startup (I think) to crash as well as the setup wizard. The only fix was to pull the battery, boot into recovery, and start again with the 4.2.2 gapps in his thread. Maybe a quick note in the OP about not using goo.im or fix for goo.im to find the correct gapps would be helpful. I figured goo was third party so its probably not an issue Chilly can fix.
All that said. I've been DDing your roms for a couple of months now and they work wonderfully. No lag of death, good battery life, and all the features as advertised. As soon as I can post in the dev forum I'll be sending many thanks your way. I very much appreciate your dedication to the dinc2!

In order for a theme to stick it nerds to be aokp as well as cm10.1. Try the cobalt themes. Sticky real good.
The SD card issue is easy. Its the read ahead speed set at boot. Make sure set at boot is checked. Worked for me.
FB doesn't like open source platforms so much. They like to stick with sense. I know sucks to be us. As far as I know no way to get em yet.
Don't trust goo its in the op which gapps to use n even has a link.
Hope this helped.

One ROM @ a time....VIA ELECTRICITY

Thanks to both of you for your work with this device. It's awesome that a 2 year old phone is still getting some love. I just wanted to let people know what was going on because I do some app development and am pretty well versed in the world of android, despite the fact that I've never developed roms or anything like that. I've read everything in the thread and it was just a bit unclear that goo might not do the job, and for others that don't realize to grab the gapps from the op, I just wanted to clarify. Thanks again for both of your great work and dedication to this device! :highfive:

[Q] Liquid Smooth 2.3 Screen Flickering Issue

Hey there,
Unfortunately I have another problem with Liquid Smooth. I tried searching this bug with no luck. The screen flickers rainbow stripes (best way I can describe it) when I launch the camera from the lock screen, when I hit the power button on the lock screen and occasionally when I go into settings. Any ideas why this could be? or is it just a know bug? This happened much more infrequently on 2.2 but still happened.

Let me help you rack up 10 posts, and then go ask in the thread as this is rather rom specific. If anyone in there is able to recreate it after you post, then it's an issue with the rom itself

3) Yea downloaded using goo, flashed with TWRP as per usual

One more postttt

Issue seems fixed now. Completely factory reset and reinstalled a few hours ago. Seems to be working fine! Weird how it was happening before update though as well and then happened more frequently after. Thank you Whiplashh and Cnexus for your help!

I think this is just a problem with cm/aokp/aosp type roms. CarbonRom did the same for me.

I am experiencing the same issue with the LiquidSmooth 2.4 for Verizon. I recently did a clean install this weekend and everything was fine until the screen started flickering randomly. The flickering looks like white noise with different colors lined up horizontally. The only constant to this issue seems to be tied to the stock android messaging app.

Have you guys tried going into developer options and ticking that H/W option I think that's what's its called lol haven't been on aosp in a while but that helped my issues when I had it

AT&T S3, Clean flashed 2.3, dirty flashed 2.4. I agree with the SMS app being involved. Happens once I open it, particularily when sending/viewing an MMS. Force closing the app seems to fix it.

[KJT] [My Device] About my Device...

Hello!
My name is KJT (on the net) and I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SIII t999. When it came to me it had stock 4.0.4 Android. First thing I did was Root/CWM recovery it so that I could Wi-Fi Tether and have a custom recovery.. I found nothing wrong with the phone and it did everything I needed it to and more! At the time I wasn't willing to customize my firmware because I didn't really care.. Two(almost 3) years passed by and so much has changed in the modding community. So I checked on faster ROM's for my device and found so many to pick from! I didn't know what to pick.. I tried a couple of ROM's, but I found myself going back to SlimKat 4.4.2.build.3-OFFICAL-3061 and WOW was I surprised at how the look and feel made my phone like new again.. I now say to my friends that I upgraded my S3 into the S4.. Not really, but its "like" I did, with a software update. Heheh..
Anyways back to my device.. After updating to SlimKat I found some things a little weird with my phone, but nothing I couldn't figure out (except one thing that I will get into a little later). There was a couple things screwy with it and I had to research for a couple of days to find the answers. After fixing the small issues I wanted to fix the CPU issues and why it would throttle when I played a game longer then 5mins.. I found the option and disabled it, but it seemed to drain my battery way faster with it off. I then looked at new kernels for my phone and what would work good for battery and for performance. I found KTweaker and realized that installing SlimKat changed my model number to Samsung-SGH-I747. So I installed the Kernal (3.4.82-cyanogenmod-g9a7e2a6 [email protected] #1 Sun Mar 9 16:16:31 MST 2014). It seemed to work really well, but I see the LED blinking Blue on bootup(and stay blinking) every time I restart my phone now after installing this Kernal. So I tricked the LED to turn off by using Light Manager's test notification option. Once I turn on test and then shut screen off, the LED turns to the color I was testing in Light Manager and the LED turns off.. So that is the trick, but if there is anyone that can help me understand or fix the Blue LED that stays blinking after boot up, I would really appreciate it. I have no other apps that control notifications, and I have tried turning off all LED options, but nothing seems to work. The only thing I can do is trick the LED..
So after that, I decided I would try and find another Kernel/Tweaks, but after flashing Xtweak it seems to be running a bit smoother. I am stuck no with only one issue and that is the Blue LED flashing at boot and staying on until I trick it. KTweak app (Not XTweak) that is listed in the menu had some crazy OC settings and profiles. Now I think I am set with my CPU issues. I played my game Order and Chaos Online(GAME PLAY) for 4 hours yesterday with no lag and the CPU never throttled.
So my only problem is the Blue LED at boot.. I hope to figure it out and I will report back if I find the solution. Thanks for reading.
------------------------------------------
::UPDATE:: March 01-06, 2014...
------------------------------------------
First off the LED blue light has been fixed with a format of the internal memory and flashing a new rom. I believe the problem was with Slimkat ROM and Ktoons kernel on build 3.
I have SlimKat Build 4 now after some internal data lose(system/data/cache and most of my personal data from the last month... lol). I recommend not trying to fix your phone at 3:am and tired.. I had a back up from last month, but I know I lost a lot of other stuff I can't remember, but I think it was a good thing, because my phone is now running faster and with a lot more space on the internal hdd. So I guess I did a system restore with updating to Build 4. I am really enjoying build 4 and haven't come across any problems. I have not installed KToons kernel yet, but he has updated it and I will try it out when I have more time. I will update later. Thanks for reading..

I do need the notifications turned on, but when ever I restart my phone the blue LED light(top left cover on face of device) continues to stay pulsing way past boot. I use to see it only pulse a few times at boot and then it would stop and load the OS. It only started happening right after I flashed the KToon kernel. I love the kernel and it make my device so much better then it was before with the SlimKat kernel.
I also have tried many different steps to stop the pulse at start up, but only found that if I trick it and put on another LED notification, then it stops after I make it change to the other notification.. Its almost like it gets stuck on the notification for boot up. I uninstalled all apps and also reformatted.. I was thinking of another kernel install, but have not found a better kernel(even with this issue) then KToons..

Yup, i've been flashing on Galaxy's since the S2. After the S2, Samsung released identical hardware for all carriers, including the international edition. The only software you had to worry about is recoveries, Baseband, and if on T Mobile, the TW version if you wanted Wifi calling.

My wireless calling works fine and I am on T-Mobile network. So I guess I did everything correct.. lol
Still trying to figure out the Blue LED at boot....

UPDATE!!!
Ok, so I found out that it was the Ktoons kernel that was giving the notification Blue LED at start and wouldn't go away. I guess it was set to notify at start, but then never turned off. This is now fixed because of a flash to the new build 4 of slimkat.
So the issues that I was having before with the LED was only because of the kernel I flashed on a slimkat rom. It worked great, but had the LED issue.
::UPDATE::
Ok, now to talk about my new updated build 4 slimkat device.
