I recently installed CyanogenMod 11 M7 on my LG G Pad 8.3, almost everything is working perfectly.
Whenever I restart or shut down/turn back on (i.e. Cold Boot) the screen is very dim, you can barely see the CyanogenMod boot animation. Then the lock screen is barely visible. If I enter my pin, then turn on/off the screen 1 or maybe two times it's normal brightness and the problem is fixed.
I need to do this every time after a cold boot though. I'm living with it because how often do you restart phones/tablets? But it's an odd one.
Any ideas how to fix this would be appreciated? Thanks.

Try AIC Kernel, that fixes gamma...
on every ROM flash, GAPPS, also i flash AIC, so its normal...
see the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741405
Thanks Jhon998. Just a few quick questions please:
* What is AIC Kernel exactly?
* Will it interfere with CM11 M7's operation?
* Will it interfere with CM11 OTA monthly updates?
I'm a bit worried about breaking something adding third party code into the mix.
* I presume I need to flash aickernelinstaller.zip and not AIC_kernel_flashable.zip? The instructions say to use AIC_kernel_flashable.zip but I think it's aickernelinstaller.zip that supports CM11 coming from stock 4.4.2.
the installer have an option to choose from whether you have a stock or aosp, and if you choose aosp it just fix the gamma (brightness), but the problem that you have to flash it on every ROM flashing, like monthly, not like gapps, in my hand it is not a problem, but I am using stock with aic kernel on top...

That sounds like a pain. To be clear, if I were to install a CM Milestone Over-the-Air update I'd need to re-run AIC Kernel?
Thanks again.

Maybe it helps to flash 4.4.2 compatible TWRP from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499. Did you try that?

Thanks for the heads up on a new compatible TWRP release Nsmart. I just have. It didn't make a difference unfortunately. I was already running TWRP 2.7.0.1. I guess 2.7.1 hasn't fixed this.
Hopefully Cyanogenmod will fix it. I've decided not to try AIC Kernel. I'm wary of installing third party code into third party code.
Done!
That worked for me! Thank you. I had some problems with rooting the v50020D, when i got it, i got the dim screen problem. Now it fixed. Ty very much.
If you're on cm11... flash Mani kernel.
Worked for me ^^
Unfortunately it's laggy when compared w/ dynkernel.
I only reboot if problem, I can do w/o the lag

It's safe, it won't touch anything other than fixing that gamma issue if you haven't flashed the 4.2.2 base before...
Thanks.
How do you mean "flash the 4.2.2 base before"? I was on LG stock Android 4.2.2 then OTA to 4.4.2 and now CM11 M8 (pretty sure it's M8, would need to check).
The 4.4.2 OTA updates the firmware on the device. This firmware is what causes the dimming issue on most of the AOSP based roms (like CyanogenMod). So if you want to avoid the dimming issue and run CM you should flash the following rom first (warning it will take quite a while and make sure to double check the md5 since this is a really big file). The 4.4.2 firmware update also gets rid of the 7 lights bug, so that issue will reappear on your tablet when you go back if you had it before.
Here is the thread detailing the 4.2.2 base rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719411
Basically backup any files you care about, flash the 4.2.2. base rom and then flash CM again. This will solve the screen dim issue on AOSP based roms.

I am having problems with my phone becoming unresponsive.
Specs
Android Version
4.1.2 - Black JellyBean
Baseband Version
1.00.00.0521_1
Kernel Version
3.0.56
[email protected] #1
I had to flash the baseband version to the current version so that I could fix the bootloop that I was having. Right now the phone boots fine and for about the first 30 seconds my phone works great. After I try to load an app or two the phone gradually slows down until it becomes almost unresponsive or takes about 5-10 seconds to load something that should be almost instant. Ive tried two different rom's and same problems with both. Eventually the launcher will stop responding and the screen will glitch out.
On a side note, sometimes when I lock the screen and go back into my phone it will run smooth again until I try and hit the home button or open any apps.
Thanks,
Derek
Your using simons ion build for 4.1 right? Try the Jan 3rd release in his goo.im it isn't built with ion so you'll get camera and it might be a little more stable i haven't even tried his ion 4.1 because when i was on 4.1 i used his Jan 3rd kernel and it was totally bugless with pacman 19.3

Hello All,
First time post and as an offering, I will say 'thanks' to anyone that responds in a positive manner to my post (trying to win some friends) :laugh:
Here's my issue, I have an Arc S LT18i.
Unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Whenever I flash anything custom the touch screen fails to respond, i've flashed LupusV7, slim bean 3.1 and 3.2 (with arc fusion 3.6 and 4.5) and Super Jelly Bean. All seemingly start without any issues and the physical buttons work no problem. BUT the screen refuses to work in anyway at all!!
I have made sure I wiped the system, cache and delvak (sp?)
Any help greatly appreciated, I am a NOOB but underneath it all I'm just trying to make the most of this wonderful Arc S...
Anything you want to know, please ask away...
Please help.
Namaste

I flashed stock ICS .587 (world india) from this site talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239

Hello, thanks for the reply...
According to the Slim Bean page, I can use ANY kernel with that rom. But also, if I just have the Lupusv7 Kernel on there, the touch screen doesn't work within that, so not a ROM/Kernel conflict I belive.
I've also tried other Kernel/ROM combinations, same thing keeps on happening. Touchscreen works 100% with a SE restore, stock ROM.
Any other ideas please??

It's best to use the recommended kernel as stated on the ROM thread. Try another kernel and see how things go.

Hello,
As previously mentioned, the reccomended kernel is Lupusv7, When i flash this Kernel into recovery mode, all looks well but as it has a touch screen interface this still doesn't work!
I'm presuming that it cannot be a conflict as it's happen before I instll the new ROM etc... the touch screen doesn't even work within the GUI of the Lupusv7 kernel.
I can get multiple ROMS to load with different kernels but so far, none have booted with the touch screen working!!
I am very much a noob but have read loads of articles on how this should be done, unless i'm missing something very obvious which isn't stated then I dont see anyone else having this issue.
Any clues people? :good:
Thanks, Ricky

Hello Someguyfromhell,
I haven't used AROMA, the guides i've been reading haven't mentioned this!?
This is the process I went through:
flashed stock ICS ROM
flashed kernel
wipe data/cache/davlik
flashed rom
rebooted, ROM loads up and the touch screen doesn't work.
Any help you can give me on AROMA, links etc?
I'm looking right now, but a 'leg up' would be great.
Thanks for the reply.
Ricky
here what to do
- Make sure you had installed Official 4.0.4 ftf pack
- When flashing official ftf pack remember to exclude / tick these things:
1. simlock.ta (Exclude TA)
2. Kernel.sin (Exclude kernel)
3. FOTA (Exclude FOTA)
After flash successful, power on your phone and let it start completely
- Now you can start to install any ROM
1.Flash the Recommended Kernel: Vengeance , KTG Anzu , RUSH
2. Place ROM on SD card
3. Power off the phone and boot into CWM
3. Backup and restore > choose Backup
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Mounts and storage > Format /system
6. Advanced > Wipe battery stats
7. Install zip from SD card > Choose the rom
8. if rom uses aroma Follow on screen instructions on AROMA, remember to choose "Unlocked bootloader" and also the correct kernel modules and of course the correct phone model
9. After complete installation tick "Reboot" and let the phone restart
10. Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy ur phone !

Then did you install the device-specific patch?
ok man, you've got the same problem like me
First thing, all roms that make your touch screen doesn't work will based on cm (e.g. cm10, slim, any jb).
and ALL STOCK roms will get no problem.
There's lot of people here got this problem and still has no clue why this problem occure to ours, so sad story.
Someone says that the touch screen firmware sould be updated to the lastest version, but i don't know how.
One solution that i found is, remove the battery to turn off then turn it on to reboot again and again. If you lucky enough, the touch screen will work like a miracle!
and the success rate is also <50% ( based on my experience only)

Thanks for the continued response.

However, as i mentioned above; you can get ALL jb rom working :fingers-crossed:
But depends on your luck. Just turn it off when the touch screen didn't response, then turn it on again (and again) untill it work.
I hoped that the new linux kernel will solve this...

I have same issue have tried many stock based roms and kernels no problem but any CM based rom I have no touchscreen.
You can reboot and about 1 in 5 times it will work
Maybe it only affects certain versions of the phone. I even tried re-locking bootloader and doing official sony update then tried CM again I tried 7.1,9 and 10
same problem.
Here's where I am...
UPDATE:
So, here is where I am. Using advice from previous replies I have managed to install Xperia Ultimate HD and this is working off of the Lupus kernel without any issues. I'm still unable to get ANY Jelly Bean roms working...
Maybe my device will just not work on JB :crying:
Any other tips or tricks are greatly appreciated, would love to get JB working on here my beloved Arc S.

Well I've been running cm11 builds for t0lte on my t0lteatt (technically t0ltecan but same thing) for months with no issues. Until the dreaded March 4th nightly dropped. There were over a hundred commits that night, and something broke compatibility with my device. It keeps getting signal, then phone force closes and signal is lost. Then it gets signal, etcetera in an eternal loop. I'm wondering what I could do about this? Could a modem fix this issue? Is there anybody else out there who has been running this ROM on a t0lteatt?
I'm only asking because my device isn't supported by CM11, so I was very happy to find I could run the international build just fine. Now what do I do for CM love??? Aaaagh! Help would be awesome guys, who knows a possible solution?

Have you tried flashing the latest drop? cm-11-20140306-NIGHTLY-t0lte.zip
Maybe stuff is unscrewed now. Nightly's are crap shoots.
Only stable releases I see are 10.X. There's a reason for that......
Have you tried any of the hybrid ROMs, like OmniROM or Dirty Unicorns. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a killer option on those.
Yes I've tried all the newer nightlies too. It is working fine for t0lte users (which makes sense, because it's made for them) which leads me to believe it's just people like me running it on a variant device who are missing out. It works as intended on the proper device, so I don't see why they would change it back. Other ROMs just don't seem as polished and I'm OCD so rough edges are a dealbreaker. Cm11 has bugs, but none that affect my personal usage so that's why it is my daily driver. Thanks for the tip tho I'm still investigating!

I also have a t0lteatt running the CM11 nightly for t0lte. I also installed the nightly that resulted in not being able to boot, to solve it I rebooted my phone manually to recovery and installed the previous days back over the top and I fixed it. Then I wait a couple days and tried the next nightly which worked. I am currently running yesterdays (030632014) without issue.
TDLR: the nightly from the 4th left me broken, none of the nightly's before that point ever broke my phone, also none since then have broken my phone.
Good Luck!

I am not sure I understand the symptoms, are you saying that it boots up just fine but the phone keeps getting and losing signal? Or is it booting up just fine then rebooting after the phone gets and loses signal?
Welll no matter I would take a full backup of your system and then wipe it clean and install the known working 10.2, just to see if it is indeed a hardware problem. If 10.2 works then maybe take a nother backup of that you can at least swap back and forth while you work on the issue.

Hey thanks for working through this with me, I really appreciate it! What's happening is it boots just fine. But I get the error popup "com.android.phone has stopped". When I hit okay it immediately comes up again. Forever. I also just had a scary missing imei problem happen just now and spent the last couple hours getting THAT sorted out. But now I'm back on the march 1 nightly and everything is just fine. I just can't run anything newer than that and I don't get why.

Excellent.
Was it TWRP 2.6.3.1 ?? I think that's the one that works with newer ROM builds. At least for me.....
Or ....... Was it the March 8th build ...... Did you flash that in TWRP ?
Also, keep a copy of each on your phone. If one doesn't work just flash the other, then you can reboot to recovery to the other one.

Was it TWRP 2.6.3.1 ?? I think that's the one that works with newer ROM builds. At least for me.....
Or ....... Was it the March 8th build ...... Did you flash that in TWRP ?
Also, keep a copy of each on your phone. If one doesn't work just flash the other, then you can reboot to recovery to the other one.

It was 2.6.3.1 and I even tried the newer 2.6.3.7 for t0lte and it didn't work. But all good with cwm. There must have been some tiny change that twrp wasn't flashing properly. Whatever it was, just glad to have that behind me!

Rooting Tab Pro 12.2 with last firm done!

For rooting the latest firmware, did you use the CF-Auto-Root from the main site, marked KOT49H.T900XXUANB5, or a new one made for the KOT49H.T900UEUANI1? If the latter, would you mind posting a link to a T900UEUANI1 compatible version?

Don't needed. You can root the normal cf-auto-root with latest sock without problem.
After we pm chat last days about rollback to T900UEUAND4 as unique possibility for rooting, i decided to do a last try before that, and luckily works perfect:
-just did a factory reset to restore from B3 recovery i been trying to prev installed T900UEUANI1 stock, wipe caché with stock recovery, odined cf-auto-root and voilá, just rooted!
No need to do the old B3-rollback-prior-D4 method now. Just a normal auto-root with no hassling.
temp maybe?

It sounds like you maybe having a "Sleep of Death" (SOD) issue. The T520 and P900 have had similar problems. I will out of town until Monday but I'll do some research and hope to have a solution soon.

There is a deadlock in Samsung's code triggered by the CPU boost driver. Look in the t520 device repo for the commit that disables it (actually probably 2 commits because I removed some functionality that doesn't make sense for this processor).

Device: SM-T900
Android: 4.4.2 (Stock, unrooted)
Kernel: 3.4.39-2534013
When putting the tablet into sleep mode, it will automatically shut itself down. When I try to turn it back on, the tablet will only do so after I plugged in the charger. The battery itself is fully charged.
I've updated to the latest available firmware version that's available to me. I couldn't find any list of known issues, so I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if I should return my tablet?

Same here. It seems that the problem maybe is temperature: after some time charging it gets really hot and maybe can't awake from that and need rebooting.
I've disabled the magnet sensor vía 3rd app to off the close-lid functionality but don't improve the problem.
Here in summer the room gets to +30°c and the Tab ups to almost 65°c when it gets hot!
Maybe it just reach the temp threshold and self shutdown, or intend that not letting awake.
Perhaps CM11 build here charges battery too fast, with higher voltage than allowed and provoque overheating. I mean, i really feels that it's charging real fast..
Well currently its winter and cold. My tab was cool but it does not respond after deep sleep unless i reboot. Dev said he will look into it and i will wait. Not sure if temp is cause as mine was not definitely not hot.

Posted update last night, check it out
Thanks, btw, i was able to use ODIN to get a good version of TWRP and the ROM installed smoothly. I have encountered a few small bugs but nothing to report that is new. I noticed the "sleep of death" I think you are referring to, deep sleep resulting in a manual reboot to wake up. I have noticed my bluetooth disconnects and reconnects every few minutes during deep sleep..not sure why. will report back. Thanks SO SO much for the development, i love it, so sick of the green and blue and the settings tabs on this stock OS disgust me. I am curious tho, am I the only one who noticed significant slowdown and lag compared to stock? I do not put a lot of stock in benchmarks (skewed toward uncle sammy) but they also showed big slowdown....just my very humble and grateful early experiences. Thanks again.
total reflashing needed?

Well thanks, but,i don't see a flashing update but an entire 221MBs rom to flash..
Can you post just the little update file , if there's any, to flash above the installed rom?
I don't want to install rom, apps and config all over again.
Thanks!

Well there's a problem right now, seems that this rom prevent to enter recovery.., this is what happen to me:
Reboot from Android with 'reboot to recovery' option and when the TWRP splash logo shows it enter in a bootloop always to this instance that TWRP logo appears.
Then i just installed the good old UAND4 rom and it works fine.
Maybe i shouldn't go to recovery direct from android to prevent bootloop happen and try to go the normal way from boot.
Don't know, maybe I'll try some day.., or maybe better wait to Android L comes to us.
Please advice all that stuff in the respective threads, i can't.., cause' these 'noobs-wait-to-10-posting-before' rules..
Greetings.

1. You can "dirty"-flash (install w/o wiping) the new ROM over the old one - nothing to re-install - if you wish you could extract the kernel (boot.img) and flash it by Flashify
2. There haven't been reported any SOD issues after flashing chhaggerty's latest ROM version
3. I have had no issues with with TWRP after having flashed the KOT49H.T900UEUANI1 - I just assume that some parts of the Firmware, not touched by cm, has been improved (but since this is WIFI only, it might not be the case for a non phone device) why I preferred to make the update.

1- but dirty flashing the update full rom performs well?
1.2- only the boot.img is needed for update?
3- have you tried the reboot-to-recovery option from android?
Thanks.

The changes done between the two versions (99% sure) was only some modifications in the kernel-code. Why flashing the kernel only should be fine, it will resolve the SOD and also make it run cooler. But if you wish you can also dirty-flash. However, cover your bases with a full back-up.
No issues at all with the reboot to recovery option

220MBs in the posted download site go sooo sloow on any server..

HERE it is
unzip the downloaded file
place boot.img on your SD
use Flashify to flash the kernel
after this I believe flashify will boot you up in recovery, just reboot and you should be good to go.
Just remember to make a back-up for just in case...

Installed boot.img and works flawlessly. Now i can back using lid cover again and no more hangs.
I hope they can solve the auto-rotate thing next time.
flashing screen, powering down...
I have twrp 2.8, v2 of our Cyanogenmod, set processor to on demand as suggested...
Still when I play games like CoC and others, if I am not plugged in even with a lot of bat% left, I get a flashing screen and occasionally my tab just decides it needs to shut off.
Any thoughts on what to do? I have greenify and Xposed installed too...
It pretty frustrating.
THANKS GUYS!!

My guess is that gaming need more power, why I would stop greeify and reset the governor to interactive while gaming. But other than that I have no ideas, as I haven't heard of this problem before.
This ROM is fantastic! Smooth, fast, responsive and just as described...big thanks.

I don't know if you noticed, but chhaggerty just released a version 3, maybe this will work as there has been some work on the governors.

Can i use the 4.4.4 GAPPS instead of 4.4.3 you are posting?
arcadia2uk said:
Thanks for another quality update, notably when reading how other cm11 exynos versions always seems to break something. With your T-900 cm11, I have never had any issues. The latest version is still running smooth, the changes in the CPU governor will probably allow for better battery life with the added conservative setting. However, I don't know what trade-off this will have on performance.

Maybe they start to use the big.LITTLE behavior of the Exynos, instead of ever using just the full power a15 cluster (battery eater).
I've haven't tried it but since it's a 4.4.4 rom they should work fine.
Error flashing ROM
Hi guys,
I get this error message when I try to flash CM11:
"Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset"
This is a brand new rooted SMT-900 Tab Pro 12.2". Here's some notes:
- I received the error using V1, V2, and V3, all receive the error message
- I downloaded two copies of v3 from two separate mirrors (CA and AZ), both receive the error message
- I did a factory reset and still received the error message
- Wiped davlik/cache/system partitions
- Tried on TWRP 2.7 and 2.8, both receive same error message
- All I have done to this tablet is root it, install TWRP, and create one backup
Any thoughts? I can try using CWM if someone can give me a quick overview of how to install it and remove TWRP (or keep TWRP).
Hello everyone I got the nextbit robin the other day, and seem to notice some things. wondering if its normal.
I get the fuzzy snowy screen for a few seconds whenever the device is locked and i go to open it and also when i unlock the screen from twrp. Does anyone have this?
Also I noticed on the latest twrp 3.1.1-0 that the time is off by like nine hours? cant seem to figure how to fix it. other than that i am running the latest aicp and loving the device.
thanks

The twrp thing is normal.
But i dont know about the "fuzzy snowy screen". Was that on stock too or is it just in the custom rom?

TWRP has a minor issue with the display showing a rainbow-grainy type screen before showing before it shows what it's supposed to.
Lineage OS (And based ROMS, AICP is based on LOS?, correct me if I'm wrong) have a bug where it shows a similar type of screen (Only black and white [Fuzzy snowy screen]) before returning to normal. This issue is not present on OmniROM, AOSPA and I assume some other ROMS that I have not tested (Including stock, I hated stock ). We can only hope that is fixed in the future.
I wouldn't be worried about the problem/s Hope this helps.

ok that i did notice that i was on AICP and it did that. so to cancel out anything i returned it to stock and then flashed the 7.1.1 update just got giggles, and flash twrp all good. I am going to stay stock for a while.
Now is the time being off in twrp another bug?

I think so but I'm not sure. I think I managed to set it to the correct time at one point but forgot lmao (soz).
Keep an eye out to see if the Robin LOS maintainer has fixed the issue. Once done and LOS based roms update their sources you'll be able to flash AICP again without the bug
