[Q] CM9 WiFi/GPU problem - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm using AOKP Milestone[Stable] it's an awesome rom but after I play a game or watch a video (when the GPU is triggered i suppose) the rom goes crazy some parts of the system and apps become transparent respond to my touches but not displayed so i thought it's a kernel related problem so i flashed LuPuS kernel my favourite kernel but WiFi won't work even after flashing multiple modules
If anyone has a soloution for any of the two problems please provide it
Thanx

hey bro, may i advice you to change to LX CM11. CM9 is stone age & CM11 runs far more better. battery is like on stock or even better. its also fully stable. you will love it
thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545354

Thnx for the advice
But the reason why im still using ICS/CM9 ROMS is that the sound of 4.1+ roms is not as good and loud as ICS ROMS if there is a solution for that problem it would be awesome
I tried AC!D MOD PimpUpMyRom Tweaks but i didn't feel a change (Maybe i didn't use them right)

4.2 is ripping my phone apart

Hi all
i just flashed xylon rom ( a 4.2 rom ) , i used to use PA 2.22 ( i am lazy to update them) and my phone turned from awesome to somewhat awful ...no offense to the devs though the rom is awesome but my phone have some issue with it
1.the colour reproduction turned yellowish ( it looks plain disgusting) forcing me to flash trinity kernel which fixed it luckily , franco kernel still can't fix the issue
2. system ui stopped responding , for some reason every now and then he system ui will freeze causing the wallpaper to go dark and the status bar to turn transparent which is really odd
3. performance hiccups , opening contacts , settings , music and all those basics apps sometimes takes FREAKING YEARS it at times will open instantly but at times it can take up to 10 seconds
4.battery drain ...holy crap i am surfing the web with my phone and i lost 30% in an hour ...
i am trying cataclysm rom , hope i will fix my issues ..still is all these issues caused because 4.2 roms are still unstable ?
again no offense to the devs of xylon rom u guys are awesome!
Meanwhile, go back to stock if you don't want to help the devs by reporting bugs, logcats, dmesg.
Sent from my i9250
These kind of stuff should be posted on the ROM thread since the developer will know the best about their Roms
By doing that, not only you're getting help from the pro but you're helping developer find the issue and fix it too.
BTW battery drain is known issue in 4.2.

You should read more and learn to search XDA before you start flashing roms. Just to be helpful if you should read this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

You are used to morfic colours, the colour values used in Trinity kernel. Stock kernel colors is quite yellowish, franco's is a soft blue. You can change the values using Trinity Kernel's app or use the Trickster MOD app. Both on the Play Store.

Did you factory reset? Overwriting 4.1.x files with 4.2 while still having some 4.1.x files will most definitely make your system derp.

It's not really that 4.2 ROMs are unstable, but the entirety of 4.2 is unstable. Might be even more unstable than the Honeycomb days. Holy ****.
I'm back to CM10 because I couldn't stand the abysmal performance of 4.2. I'll probably hold off until 4.2.1 is released or CM10.1, whichever comes first.

one question..did you clean flash?
4.2 is fine. No lags, performance drops, etc.
You people should just reflash stock images through fastboot, erasing all and reflash.

Good job by the Xylon team..

[Q] ARC S - 1st OTG , 2nd Games Quitting

Hello to all,
Please Help me
I'm getting several issues in My ARC S.
AT this moment i'm using the last arcknight kernel with OC at 1.6 Gzh , for my Rom i'm using Ultimate HD 2.0 updated to the last version 2.4 .
1st - I'm having problems trying to make work the OTG cable in my device, I already upload several drives and app's to try to make it work without success untill now.
2nd (Main Problem for me) - Other issue is during 3D games as several other members as in this forum the app just simply STOP and quit the Game to the main screen.
I new user at XDA, but i already have this kernel in my mobile for 1 mouth and the kernel for 1 week. Until now i'm very happy with the work developed here, but i'm facing this two problems that i would like to solve.
Keep with the good working that you all are doing here.
Best regards from Portugal to all (sorry for my English)
For the otg, look at kernel thread for flashable zip
That the games quit can be a issue because of kernel and oc to 1.6 ghz
2nd (Main Problem for me) - Other issue is during 3D games as several other members as in this forum the app just simply STOP and quit the Game to the main screen.

If you tried other kernels and the game still wouldn't work then this must be a problem with your rom. I'm on CM10 and this game plays flawlessly.

Games are working perfect flowing now =)
I install again the same ROM(Ultimate HD 2.0), but during the install setup, theres an option than now i choose something like: ``gaming mode´´ in time to have ``multitasking´´. Now everything is flowing perfectly in the menus, Games, etc. Very fast and stable ROM i recommend =) even for games
For the first issue of the OTG cable i will try with other kernel, also because this last one from ARCKNIGHT with the OC takes a lot of my battery life. Any suggestions of a good Kernel? My interests are life battery and gaming mode with good flowing, OC not is not very important for me.
Thank you to all.

[Q] Screen sensitivity on JB roms

Hello everyone!
I've been busy lately flashing different roms to my t989, trying to solve the problem described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161262.
I've tried some of the newest roms and kernels (All-star 4.2, CM10, 10.1, AOKP) but the issue is still there. The attached APK on that thread does not work And I have no idea how to do the kernel modification ;(
Anything that can be done to solve it? The touchscreen sensitivy option is grayed out on the roms I've tried so far. It's annoying on games like Modern Combat, or TeamViewer (mouse is jumpy). Or do I have to modify an existing kernel? :crying:
Thanks!
I have just noticed this problem.. no wonder the touchscreen sometimes jumps in Dead Trigger
Thank you for bringing this up, hopefully the kernel devs will take a look at this and probably fix this
It could be a slider or something like that :laugh:
I just noticed that, I was noticing lag, mainly in the youtube application when i'm scrolling, thought it was my rom or phone. I notice it as well with the ripple lock option in embryo 6.

[Q] Help choosing ROM for samsung galaxy w

Greetings, let me briefly explain my ROM related adventures.
I was sick and tired of the stock rom, it was slow and ugly.
I installed a Paranoid Android rom I found but it got stuck in a loop at boot and I was recomended to try another one that wasn't outdated.
I was recomended a PAC rom. It worked just fine, but it consumed a lot of RAM. Never having too much ram to spare the phone was extremely slow when accessing the store and other "heavy" actions.
Recently I installed the bionic cow rom I saw from the samsung galaxy w rom page but it reboots the phone spontaneously, I found in the thread of the rom that it has been discontinued and I should look for another one.
In sum, I need recomendations for a rom that is both light and good looking, any recomendations?
thanks.

My usage would probably be best described as light to medium: few phone calls, some sms and mms, ebay, email, weather updates, some web browsing and some tunes (inc stream to DLNA devices), but no gaming at all. I don't use Seeder or Greenify.

Please ignore the mobile network signal bar being too short as it has never worked properly for me since CM9 (randomly stops logging data) - but as you can see the phone wasn't in aeroplane mode as it has signal in the status bar and the wifi has been permanently switched on.

about installing the kernel, just read the 1st page of each kernel thread :good:
Feedback
Hey,
I installed CM9 with the kernel like was suggested here. I decided to post some feedback and news about the rom.
So far it's been neat. I'm getting the performance and battery saving like I did when I had the stock rom, but I have the look and feel of the ICS.
here's a screenshot of the battery saving, it lasted the whole weekend... weekend partly spent discovering the wonder of Pudding Monsters, I've gotten more addicted to that game (in that weekend) more than I'm proud to admit.
In spite of that, the battery last for a good 2 days before crashing. This without any battery saving app or greater care.
(I haven't spent as much time online as I used to, that might've also helped a bit)
There is only one annoyance... two actually:
. (as expected) in the camera, the zoom doesn't work. (I was told cameras don't work that well in custom ROM's, as longs as it takes pictures as is I'm happy enough)
. There doesn't seem to be a usb support. Before, when I plugged the phone to the computer there was a popup allowing me to open some usb mode and allowing file transfer between external and internal sd cards. Now it simply turns on usb debugging.
While this works fine on Windows, the OSX doesn't recognize the device. Thus I cannot plug the android to my mac anymore.
Any ideas for the second part?
PS: Just noticed that my tablet also can't be seen on my mac. This means it's not a ROM problem. After searching the usb options I noticed the Samsung has a "mass storage" option which I think may solve my problems. But the same does not go for my tablet.
My tablet is a Sony S unrooted with stock ROM. It only allows usb connection through MTP or PTP modes, neither works with OSX for some reason.
as far as i tested, you can use liquidsmooth or the newest build pacman for sgw :good:

Sound problem

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.

You need ics rom or stock if you want all fuction working fine (voip and calls)... sorry for my english

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!

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
Thanks for details given in this thread.
Where can I find the stock android 4.0.4 second version?
An other quick question (I know this is an off topic question), is the samsunng galaxy s i9000 battery the same with the i927 batter?
Thank you

Hi, I hope this is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994902
I read in some other post, do not remember where lol, but I saw at least 3 different persons that were using the i9000 battery for the Glide, which has 1800mAh capacity I believe :good:

This custom rom Sh*t is very annoying. I can't get rid of this crappy cyanogenmod rom
Wasted almost a day reading pointless posts all over the internet and still nothing clear on how to go back to official samsung stock android.
I'm going to get this phone to the service!
We have a fix now

Listen may i know it got really annoying with the sound.. but we have a fix now...
its a third party app which you can use.. its very easy to use and one time setup only
just get any kitkat rom..
its stable and only stops working if the app gets killed but otherwise i have tested it extesively
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?
