Develop Bugs

Guys I just have a simple question (I'm kinda new to these)

Hey guys I have galaxy w (I bought it 10 or 12 days ago).Don't worry i studied my lesson.I know how to root,flash,install apk etc.
I rooted my phone and installed REM ICS.But i'm not happy with it.Because it has a few problems
In the first place, i want to tell you what i'm looking for.
I just want proper sms app (no mms converting), WORKING gps,menu customization [not by date or title (i'm happy with touchwiz)]
Most important -> goot battery life.That's all folks.
But i can't find a rom that meets my wishes.
Now i'll install rebel rom 3.0.6.
But if you have a recommendation PLEASE let me know.
p.s. : I'm sorry if there are grammar mistakes.Thanks in advance. :good:

CyanogenMod Alpha 8 version should be good to you
but you have the SMS to MMS converter on everyrom (i think) & touchwiz
but normally in options you can adapt it
good batterylife & performance
Or BioHazard has it all (based on cyanogenmod)
just flash the ROM + extra sms file (to get normal sms lay-out) - Biohazard customisation - good batterylife & performance (& touchwiz)
has jellybean 3 features & customisation
EhndroiX is a nice rom based on cyanogenmod
but it has it flaws, batterylife isn't perfect but it's a smooth ROM
it also has touchwiz and Jellybean lay-out
Personally i'm running EhnDroix right now but i'm thinking to switch to cyanogenmod (due to the better batterylife) or biohazard
Now about the GPS function you can use Google Maps / Navigation, you can also download Sygic GPS (look on some forums for a "free" version of it )
then you will have a free offline GPS system with TomTom maps navigation
i hope i helped you out a bit

touchwiz is there on EhndroiX (i'm running it..)
and the camera function is available in alpha 8
when you go to the Galaxy W I8150 Development topic, you can see the progress made and a changelog to base you on through all the versions

Ive been using SGW for a lot of time now, when i had the stock rom i used ADW laucher for the menu. As for the battery life, keep 3G turned off or install JuiceDefender, it turns on 3g every X minutes, instead of keeping it on all the time. It also adjusts the brightness. My battery would last nearly 3 days that way with moderate calling.
Hugs.

Also i wonder if there is something wrong with my original samsung charger.When i charge my phone with its original charger, battery drains quickly (%85 in 2.2 hours).But when i charge it with my friend's htc's charger it downs to %97 in 2 hours.Just weird.

As I know Rebel ROM is not coming with a TW launcher, you may try Black Notes Last Page if you wish, it came with a TW launcher, just for your info, in Black Notes, you would have to reboot your phone after running the 99SuperCharger init.d script, as it may cause you unable to receive your message, but it wouldn't really affect you if you don't run the script. Hope it helps.

Are you using the USB cable as charger? That one will be much slower than the charger. For a decent battery life, I would recommend you to use a GB ROM with Juice Defender at this moment, because the battery life for CM9 may be vary from version to version at this moment.

I use its original charger (mini USB).I installed rebel rom it seems like it's okay.But i'm not sure yet.

Ok it sucks more i know it now.SMS problems,slow browsers,performance sucks

Looking for good battery life? Most of the GB roms provide good battery life. Not so sure with ICS roms, right now. If you don't mind using GB rom, i would recommend you MUTANT ROM, not bad.

If you are looking for an economical premises ROM battery GB ROM only the best in my opinion.
I myself have come back to GB after I felt in CM9 b8 only for reasons of battery.
I myself use kezra v4 final ROM, kernel xxlm8. And what you need everything works fine here.

Also, try upgrading baseband. Older baseband might have bugs that made it too aggressive and/or not smart enough to tune power usage.
Back in the CM9 thread, someone posted that he experienced a great boost in battery life after upgrading baseband.
Word of caution: make sure that the newer baseband is compatible with your country's networks.

[Q] Need help choosing custom ROM (Xperia Pro)

Hi. I switched phones from a Samsung Galaxy Ace to a Sony Xperia Pro a year ago (got fed up with the touchscreen keyboard, wanted a real QWERTY keyboard.) I like the phone, but now that the warranty's expired I'd like to try a custom ROM or three, just to play with. Also I'm having battery life issues since upgrading to ICS (It's weird; the first time I upgraded it seemed to be OK, but I had to send the phone in for a warranty repair and they went and reflashed the firmware to Gingerbread on me. I reupgraded to ICS via Sony's PC Companion and now the battery life's terrible- about what it was on my Galaxy Ace.)
What I want is:
Everything working. I don't want to encounter problems such as the camera not zooming via the volume buttons, the front camera not working, keyboard layout problems, no wifi/bluetooth, etc. All hardware needs to work at least as well as when using the stock ROM.
Stability. No, or very few, crashes (nothing is perfect, I know), not a lot of force-closes of apps.
Good power management, even if this means slowing down the CPU clock. I'm willing to sacrifice some performance if that means that I don't have to recharge more than once a day. Also I'd like to be rid of some of the background services that I don't need or want, and that use up some juice. (BTW, my typical phone use is sending and receiving 3 to 4 texts per day, one or two voice calls daily, around 6 to 7 hours of web browsing using wifi, maybe 30 minutes playing solitaire, reading ebooks for an hour or three instead of web surfing, and occasionally using the camera or the flashlight, weather apps, calculator, etc.)
I want to be rid of Sony's bloatware. I don't need it.
I don't really care if the ROM has a lot of eye candy, bells & whistles, etc. or if it's a lot like the stock ROM in look and feel. However, k3wl things would be k3wl, so I'm willing to try them and play a bit.
BTW I'm a newbie when it comes to working with the Xperia. I got pretty good about rooting, modding and changing ROMs on the Ace, but Sony is a whole different ball game than working with Samsungs. So whatever ROM I end up choosing needs to have step-by-step instructions somewhere, with download links to everything I'm going to need.
Please post your ROM recommendations. TIA!
Edit: I've turned off data connections as I only use wifi, I've dimmed the display as low as it will go, I only turn wifi on when I'm actually going to use it and turn it off afterward, I never use GPS, I set it to flight mode at night- basically I've done everything I can think of to conserve power. I used to have around 50% of battery life left when I'd go to bed at around midnight or 1AM when I had Gingerbread, but now I have to stop and recharge at around 9 or 10PM. I start using the phone at around 6PM when my wife gets home as she tends to monopolize the computer- she's taking some online classes, and likes to sing along to YouTube to relieve work stress. So I'm typically on the phone and the web for 6 to 7 hours a day, and need enough excess juice to let the phone run idle all night so the morning's alarms can go off, and also to check the time if I wake up during the night.
There's no power outlet near our bed, so I have to do my recharging during the day (when I can use the computer), and besides, we have a bunch of dogs that might chew up the charger's USB cable- they already destroyed one. So I want to try to get 7 hours of web surfing/ebook reading, plus another 5 or 6 hours of idle/standby time.

BTW, I've looked at many of the ROMs listed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642480 but there are so many of them! So I'd appreciate suggestions from people that are familiar with one or some of these ROMs to help me decide which one to use. Cheers!

Question: is that a ROM? It looks like just a collection of apps, unless I'm mistaken. How would they help boost my battery life and get rid of Sony's bloatware? (I'm kind of a newbie.)

nope it's a rom. it's not in the conventional ftf file format because it's a zip that you flash with cwm. It's a rom that's had all bloatware removed and a bunch of tweaks. i'm not very technical but it does actually work
oh and use this app. it clocks down the frequency to lowest when your phone's locked, therefore saving battery

Jelly sandwich is a stock sony ics based custom rom! Without bloatwares from sony! Check out it's thread. It has detailed instructions to install the rom! I also recommend you change your kernel n flash advanced stock kernel to increase your battery life. Speaking from personal experience and based on the daily usage you mentioned i would say you would get around 20 to 22 hrs of battery life!

If you want full functionality (working Cam, working HDMI), here are the top ROMS, which I have tried, that are being developed/maintained/updated:
Xperia Pureness (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Ultimate HD (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Jelly Sandwich (Ice Cream Sandwich)
XGamer (Gingerbread)
I'm currently using Xperia Pureness.. I have XGamer on the other Pro.
Ultimate HD is great too. Check on the thread. The developer's really mature and I think he's cooking a great update to be released soon.
XGamer, being GB, is fast, stable and battery friendly. We're using an old device, we have to admit. The Pro is not as responsive on ICS as it is on GB. So you're probably going to end up with that. Ive read its great with games as well.
Jelly Sandwich is nice, I just don't like how it's presented. Too much hype. Too much bling bling :laugh::laugh::laugh: Once it was even "advertised" by the developer as Android 4.2. But it's a great stable ROM as well, just like the previous ones mentioned.
Anyway, I suggest you try the above four ROMS yourself because at the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference. Best of luck :good:

OK, I took a look at Jelly Sandwich but decided it was too confusing for my tiny old brain- there were several 8.0 files, then a bunch of what I guess were updates all the way to 8.5, and I didn't see any "do this, then do this" lead-me-by-the-hand instructions. So I decided to try Ultimate HD. Got my bootloader unlocked, flashed the kernel using Advanced Stock for Xperia Pro. Couldn't get it to boot into CWM recovery, so I ended up nstalling CWM ROM Manager from the Play Store and used it to boot into recovery through that app. Whatever works. Wiped my cache & Dalvik, did a factory reset, rebooted (then had to reinstall CWM ROM Manager again.)
Ultimate HD installed just fine (sweet AROMA installation screens made it easy to set up), then I upgraded online to 2.0.1 and reinstalled all my favorite apps- decided to do fresh installations from Play Store rather than backing up and restoring, just to be sure everything's new.
So far, so good- it's pretty fast and stable, as far as I can tell. I'll play with it for a couple of days and see what my battery life is like. Need to find out what those governors do.
Thanks for the advice!

OK, I've used Ultimate HD over the weekend. I've noticed a few wee glitches- no show-stoppers though. For instance, in Album when viewing a particular picture, I click Throw, and notice that I have no context menu if I press the Menu button. All that's there are Trash, Share and Back icons along the top, which I didn't notice at first. The Back hardware button doesn't function when on this screen, you have to press the soft Back button on the screen. I thought the Album app had locked up.
I had one crash, when trying to load a web page while synching with Google/Gmail. The phone rebooted itself. Only happened once though.
So far, battery life's not that great, but it's better than with Sony's official ICS. I may try out a Gingerbread-based ROM later on down the road and see if that's "leaner and meaner' vis-á-vis battery life. Meanwhile, Ultimate HD is pretty cool, so I'll leave the phone alone for now.

PACMan ROM
I've been running on Mang's Pacman Rom for the pro and its great. Its ALOT smoother than ICS on the pro. Its basically stock jelly bean 4.1.2.
After flashing the given kernel you have cpu clock control, so for battery saving you can decrease that i guess. Battery has been ok so far. And basically everything you need is working. You just need to download ICS camera from google play, as the stock jelly bean one isnt working for now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924719
Note: the cpu is clocked at 1.6ghz when you first boot the rom. you should at least change it back to stock 1ghz, huge difference in battery life.
Should definitely give it a try. you have to google gapps for 4.1.2 if you want to use google now and the other standard google applications.

Also, try out roms see what you like. Others, please don't post suggestions because it may lead to flaming and may cause a serious argument. If you have an opinion about a rom say it but don't say it is the best rom as developers may get offended.

Marvellous CM10 by djolivier..
The most beautifully crafted ROM for WFS. You will fall in love with it again. I have tired at least 20 roms. But this one catches my heart.
Well, I have experienced one small bug - data connectivity issue ( when travelling especially data gets disconnected, u will have to toggle data to reconnect). Hope djolivier solves it in next update. ( I guess its a kernel error- not sure)
Works wonderful with WiFi.
Amazing battery life ( Under Wifi, It served me for 12 hours of near continuous Whatsapp usage). But under normal GSM data its only 2.5 hours
And I would recommend any root cache cleaner.
Rest is awesome. If you are patient, then you can try 4.2.2 whenever a stable ones is released by Marvellous team.
Thanks :good: djolivier

Maybe I'm just having bad luck with ROMs. I've tried many as well, but the only one I found myself coming back to was CyanogenMod 7.2 Port purely because it made my phone seem future-proof and made me fall in love with it once again. I did stay with the CyanogenMod 9 port for a while but found an annoying keyboard-sub-key-placement issue which rendered my phone unusable. After that, I did try the Marvellous ROM and had issues.
All to their own, I guess.

For me Miui v4 by Henry is Gold but no multilanguage. The question of the thread is obselete. Everyone has to test out roms

no doubt 7.2 is the most stable ones out there, but it definitely lacks speed, feel and smoothness of CM10 & + .. :good:

I can't say for sure if this is true, but maybe that's because the CM10 ROM didn't sit long on my device for more than about 20 minutes. I had to remove it because I was getting way too many forced crashes residing around the Trebuchet launcher and even the keyboard. With CM9, I found video game performance to be extremely superior as running games like Canabalt would result in zero lag at all as apposed to my Gingerbread stock HTC Rom. But of course, it had a really irritating keyboard bug so I moved back to CM7. Now, with CM7 out of the box, performance isn't really there. But once I delved into the settings and played with governers and CPU speeds and loading a completely new launcher, I've found CM7 to be faster than CM9.
It just took a bit of tinkering but I get great battery life as well as performance. When I first installed Canabalt on my device, it ran at about the same smoothness as it did on my Stock HTC ROM - it had small graphic delays and lags. Now, it runs just as smooth, if not better, than it does on CM9. So now I have stability and speed on my device and I couldn't be more satisfied.
But I guess people are different. I don't doubt that the ROMs mentioned above are fast. I've probably just been having bad luck.

[Q] The most RAM saving ROM

Greetings,
I've been around for some time, lurking mostly. And installing a ROM with ICS or JB on my Galaxy W was a wonderful way to innovate. It feels like I'm using a brand new phone, which is awesome.
I have tried Cyanogen mod and Paranoid Android and even the PAC roms. But the issue I run while using them is that my ram seems to be full most of the time, and it's filled with system apps more than my own apps. Which limits the phone seriously. I am almost unable to use Swiftkey for typing online or even messages, since it lags too much the phone.
I plan on keeping a couple of apps like a battery saver, Aviate launcher and occasionally a traffic monitor app like 3g Watchdog.I've been thinking about going back to Gingerbread versions, although new ones seem more enticing with features/apps like Google now.
I'm breaking my question in two parts:
1 - Can a more advanced android version like JB (or maybe KK) help make the system faster and the ram management more efficient? Or should I stick with a rom similar to stock?
2 - What roms do you recommend? Which Kernel? Or should I just face the fact my phone won't be able to comply with my current needs and I should ask Santa for an iPhone?
thanks

Greetings,
I've been around for some time, lurking mostly. And installing a ROM with ICS or JB on my Galaxy W was a wonderful way to innovate. It feels like I'm using a brand new phone, which is awesome.
I have tried Cyanogen mod and Paranoid Android and even the PAC roms. But the issue I run while using them is that my ram seems to be full most of the time, and it's filled with system apps more than my own apps. Which limits the phone seriously. I am almost unable to use Swiftkey for typing online or even messages, since it lags too much the phone.

Thank you very much.
PS: in the mean time I'm open to more suggestions, just in case.

The rom crashes the settings applet everytime I try to change language to Portuguese.
Can't add widgets with aviate launcher (settings crashes)
otherwise seems alright.

[Q] Running CM11 on Samsung Galaxy W [i8150] ??

Dear all,
Recently, due to some instabilities in my previous ROM, I decided to venture into CM11 on my i8150. After looking through the various choices, I decided on EHNDROIX V 14.5.23 for my i8150.
However, after installation pristine method, I noticed that it's very laggy. The swapping of home screens is fine at first, but the starting up of apps will take a long long time. I haven't seen any users complaining that this ROM is laggy (except for one post in the DEV section).
So my question here is this.. did I miss something here? I really do like the CM11 interface better than the CM10.1 (currently using) and would love to go back to CM11 but not until I have solved the lag issue. Any clues?
Also on CM11, somehow the Youtube App doesn't play videos. Saying something like "There's a problem playing the video, Click to try again".. and after numerious times, Youtube App still doesn't play.
Anyone can provide some advice on what went wrong? Thanks in advance
David

Hi.. Thanks.. do you use a different kernel with this to improve things like battery life etc? (e.g Hurtsky, Khan's)
Because of the lag, I read that Khan's Kernel helps.. so that helped a bit.. but launching apps still took a long time tho and sometimes it just crashes.
What combination do you use? How is the user experience for this?
Thanks..
