Latest 'Jellaxy' release : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901346 [26.10.2012 Build 5]

No gapps
I installed the AOKP exactly as per instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874920
No gapps are seen as they are not packed with the ROM. The OP suggested installing gapps from http://www.modaco.com/topic/355903-devrom2810-cyanogenmod-10-android-412/ for fixing Network Location
Network Location: For working network location you have to flash latest gapps provided by KonstaT from here http://www.modaco.com/topic/355903-d...0-android-412/ If it does not work first, than reboot and/or reconfigure weather settings in 'ROM Control' settings. You should be able to have weather on your lockscreen based on your actual position.

Flashing the above gapps did not work for me. I have never (or may be 1-2 times, that I don't recollect of) flashed gapps separately. Can someone guide me to doing this. JFYI, I have an ext partition too, I have tried flashing gapps without flashing any a2sd too.

Was able to get everything working finally....
Turns out it may be the CWM6 that is buggy or the isn't compatible. Dowgraded back to the good old CWM5 and gapps flash great so do the scripts :good: :victory:

Anyone having mediascan issue? I have been having this with all the jellaxy builds (CM10 and AOKP). No matter what I do most of my pictures never show up in the gallery. Apollo won't detect my music. I have tried media scan, rescan and several other apps, but no use. Pics I take from camera or screenshots I take do show up though in the gallery. But generally they too disappear on reboot.

No problems like that here. All pics showing up (using QuickPic). Apollo is also working fine for me.
I'm running the latest version of the rom (Build 5). The only issue I've found so far is battery life that isn't so good no matter what scripts or tweaks I use :/
I had Jellaxy CM10 before this one and did't have media scan issues either.
Try re-flashing the rom following instructions properly and you could also try using a different sd card.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes it seems to be working for almost all the people here, though google reveals many similar cases on ICS and JB. I have reflashed the ROM multiple times. Also faced this issue in almost all the Jellaxy CM10 builds (I have tried them all ) too. Chaging the SD card? You think that will help? Anyway everything else that I could think of I have tired, will give it a shot as soon as I get my hands on some SD card.

I see. Well, I'm not sure changing the SD card is the answer, but if I were facing this issue as well, I'd certain try it.

I faced the same problem a lot of times, and still havent found a good fix for it. the scan usually works fine on a fresh install. I do have a workaround though. For pics use quickpic. For music, you can use poweramp, andless or another player with its own scanner.
However, if you have the patience, install mixzing player. reboot your phone. then open mixzing first. go into folders, then the folder where you store your music, then wait. The names of the songs should change from filenames to the id3 information. Repeat for each folder, scrolling so that the info appears for each track; all while not actually playing anything. Now open your stock player, the tracks should have appeared. If they haven't, force stop the media scanner and try again.

I want to install this on my Ace...but i must do the wipe data??

I hope you plan on keeping this alive as I prefer it over other cm10s. Better ram management and just plain fast.

Constant FC's after theme flash

I have been trying for quite a while with no luck to get this working, but every time I flash Deep Purple onto Warm 2.3, I get random force closes all over the place.
Here is the theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17409414&postcount=5
I tried it on both the latest nightly, and RLS1, and everything works great until the theme is flashed.
I do as the thread advises, Wipe Dalvik, flash theme, reboot. I've attempted fixing permissions, etc with no results.
Is there a better ROM I can flash that on? Or any other options for a purple theme? I'm dying for a purple/green theme. I don't mind switching ROM's, my only requirement is that it has the News Widget.
I don't wanna give this up:

Thoughts....
Are you running odexed or deodexed?
Did you wipe c & dc and fix permissions?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
one of the big questions i have for you
what version of Warm was the theme made for?
because if there are variations between the 2 versions of the ROM even minor ones it can cause issues like that
Does the theme specify what version? I was looking for that info with no luck.
I did several things, first I ran a format all superwipe .zip then flashed the ROM, booted up the phone, rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik, flashed theme. Boots up fine, I'm posting this from it but at least 80% of the phone FC's. If I flashed theme without booting up first the status bar would be missing. Tried that with RLS1 and the latest nightly. I'd gladly use an old version if I could just figure out what ROM version worked with it.
Are there other purple themes?
Edit: The theme says deodex so I made sure to get the Deodex RLS1, what are the nightly files?
How do you fix permissions on here? My g2 I just did it in CWM, TWRP doesn't have that option. I alsoused to do it in terminal emulator but can't remember it to save my life. I used the app "Fix Permissions" from market, but it only does individual apps, not system wide.

logcat:
"adb logcat > logcat.txt"
do that ^^^ when it's FCing, press control+C to stop the output (after it catches a few FCs). It'll put the txt file into your /sdk/platform-tools/ folder, attach to a post, or upload to pastebin, or dropbox and link. Thanks.
Ugg, ADB keeps failing on me but I'm installing SDK and JDK and all that on my wife's laptop to try it. So I'm working on it
Thanks for all your help
after you get the sdk and jdk installed, you need to do this:
cmd
cd into where your platform tools are
example:
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
^^^ you will have more in your path than that, it's just an example. Once you have cd'd into it, then type the adb command above.
That screenshot is from my Laptop that had the Paths setup so that I can just type ADB from anywhere. Didn't get that working on Wife's laptop though.
I think I just did a decent logcat, I did it through DDMS, heres a dropbox link to the .txt. I started it with Gmail App open, then clicked menu -> compose -> Force Close

Hi, I made the theme. Please, I wish you could've brought this issue onto the team d3rp thread so I could've helped you with this issue. I was only aware of this issue by it being linked by il Duce.
This theme was built on RLS so it may not work on the nightlies. The theme is the one I use for Sense and I'm not getting any force quits. I'll try and see if I can find the reason why you might be getting force quits. Sorry.
I'm sorry, I got to the theme through digging into lots of tabs in the browser, did not realize that there was a better place, I rarely venture into the theme world lol.
When you say sense do you mean just a stock appearance? I'm on the rls1 currently. The force closes are in tons of random places, many apps work until I find the one aspect of them that doesn't, so it would be really hard to find em all.
I love the theme so much though that I've been running it all day lol. Thank you very much for all your help awesome to see such good support, if only I had thought where to post it initially lol

I truly don't know what the problem is because I have it running fine on my phone. I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue but I'll try to help you if I can.
I'll do that from now on, thanks for the link.
Can you post a link to the exact ROM file you're using and how you flashed it and theme and I can totally replicate what you did?
I can potentially try and flash back to warm tomorrow evening and flash theme to troubleshoot on my end. I know it worked for me once, but that was also when it was a different name. But that will be soonest I can get to it. Need my phone functional all day tomorrow, big work meeting...

Another one, just in case
What are the chances of making this available for the i9305? I know the partition and radio are different. However, if the partition part was adapted and the radio was removed from ultima rom (i.e. old radio remains on device), would this be doable?
I hate how my i9300 constantly is at almost full ram, wanna get the 2GB version. But the Dev support is minimal (at best)
If someone bought me one I'd do one for sure, but I can't afford one.
And unused RAM is wasted. Android uses as much RAM as possible on purpose. If you had enough apps on the LTE phone it would also try to run as much RAM as possible.

now 6.0 updat is coming ,can i change it by using 4.2 camera & gallery APP + AOSP lockscreen?
Many thanks!
Unfortunately not it's a common problem with the 4.2 galley at the moment. You should install the stock camera or Note II to change it

AROMA crashes
I haven't been able to get through the installer without my phone crashing.
First time coming from another rom, I tried to install UltimaROM 5.1. I performed a wipe data/factory reset and install zip from internal sd. Pick ultra wipe, siyah kernel etc and on the last step I press "Next>" and the phone crashes. I pull out the battery and reboot system, and voila UltimaROM is installed.
Second time I want to install UltimaROM 6.0. Perform wipe data/factory reset, and at the bloatware removal screen I scroll down only to cause a crash once again. I repeat the battery removal process go into the installer again, and it crashes again when I untick the Samsung Apps option. Third time it gets stuck at the last step again, and after I unplug the battery for the last time I have v6 installed.
Why did I have to go through all this trouble. Was I doing something wrong?
Try this!

With my experience, DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING in Ultima Aroma installer.
So how can i install ULTIMA if i came frome another rom? It's simple, just wipe data / cache / dalvic in Recovery, otherwise use a wipe script such as "Revolution rom super wipe script" in Recovery.
Hope that can help. :fingers-crossed:
---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
And i aldo stucked during the istallation, or stucked when i chose the app / mod / theme in aroma(quit often in V5),so be paitient, finally it will work.
(how to prevent that happen efficiently? i always make my self tick the checkboxes only once druing the installation )
Well I've updated to the latest AROMA installer version and I wipe all the time using the installer. I even have an AROMA installer just for wiping.
What version of CWM are you using?
A bit of help with the AOSP messaging again. I love the way it looks and don't really like Samsungs messaging app because the text is rather large and not as smooth looking.
I have went into Google contacts on the website and changed the number of a friend of mine it looks similar to this +14045555555 is this the correct formatting? I did it that way because one of my contacts was set up that way and her messages would go into a thread, but others that I changed would still just pop up as new threads. Is there anything else that is required of me after I change the numbers?

Ok for me it's like this:
+447123456789
+44 = country code
07123456789 = phone number
Just strip out the leading 0 and put it on the country code
I want to test both the S3 and Note2 cameras side by side but I don't like to try to decompile, change package name and then recompile the app. So is there another way to do it (since I assume that they have same package name)? Or can someone tell me which they prefer from their own experience.

Messages are now threading!!!! I had set my contacts up the way of the working one while I awaited your response and went ahead and reflashed and my messages are threading. Thank you!!!!!
Also, is there anyway to make the icons smaller? I guess change the resolution is what i'm asking.
EDIT: I figured it out, I figured that post in the other thread about DPI must have been something about that. So I googled and came up with how to change the DPI and changed it to 240 and it's perfect. I will definitely tell about your rom.
THANKS!
I have been using ur rom for ages now never changed, your rom is awesome man. However, I flashed the latest version (v6.0) and for some reason it does not allow me to view the caller id even though I have them in my contacts which is a big problem for me. Did i do something wrong or is this a known issue.

Hi!
First of all I gotta say thank you for an amazing rom. I've been using 5.1 for about a week and have'nt encounterd any bugs at all. However today I downloaded the 6.0 and experienced a few problems. While I was flashing 6.0 aroma launcher freezed at about 95% so I had to pull the battery and redo it again. 2nd time it worked. Everything in the rom seems to work just as weel as in 5.1 accept for the video player that FC everytime I try to watch a video clip. Tried rebooting etc. Does'nt help.
Anyways great job with the rom!

Yes, I've got a fix for that already. I'm just holding out to see if this contacts problem is a ROM issue or not. I'm thinking it isn't and must be something else but I want to make sure so I can fix all three in one patch. But there is a solution for it, don't worry

[Q] Omega ROM v33.2 issues

Firstly, can't post the same in the Omega forum as I don't have enough posts. So, am posting here.
Secondly, coming to the issues that I'm facing.
A bit of info first:
Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300
Omega ROM v33.2
Based on XXELK4 Android 4.1.2
Unmodified Kernel etc.
Prior to this I had the v32 and had no issues.
So, I have come across a few issues in this rom (i know its built on a test rom).
a) The brightness slider built into the pull down menu is missing (check this image)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[/IMG].
b) The keypad menu lags a lot.
c) The contacts/logs menu also takes a lot of time to load up (I don't have more than 250 contacts at the moment).
d) The gallery doesn't show the stored images or videos (be it on the internal/external memory, within the Pictures/DCIM/Videos folder).
e) I have MX player installed, and even that is not showing any videos in the menu (same as above, and I have to use a file explorer to play a video).
As I said before, in v32 I had none of the issues mentioned above. So, are these the shortcomings/issues with the ROM itself, or was this only a bad flash?
To add to the above, before installing the v33.2 rom, I had done a factory reset, clear cache/devlik cache, and not an update from the previous rom. The installed theme is Alexander theme, updated ver supporting Omega v33.2.
Any help regarding this would be really appreciated .

after installing Omega I9300 XXELK4 v33.2 JB 4.1.2 nf is not working anybody having same issue....! whenever sending any file through nfc to other s3.... automatically Bluetooth gets on. so please help any1?
guys, still no reply. isn't there anyone here with the know-how to resolve this issue
ok. can someone at least tell me, whether it is possible to flash a previous ver 32 rom of omega over the newer v33? v33 is very unstable. freezes, crashing apps and slow response are its main drawbacks apart from those mentioned in the original post.
also, can this be done without the need to factory reset? reason for asking is i don't want to install apps etc. again, as i dont have the luxury of time at the moment because of work pressure.

Is it possible to downgrade omega rom from v33.2 to v32, without the need for a factory reset?

I have similar issues with Omega 33.2. I have a lot of lags, even to press home button takes like 2 seconds, same with contacts and sometimes with some games.
I was reading in the developer section that maybe it is caused for use differents roms ( I was testing another roms but I always do a full wipe before to install a diferent rom).
I will try to do another full wipe and see what happen.
Moving from 32 to 33 was a full wipe process so the reverse holds true.
But I suggest you do a full wipe, cwm, mounts and storage. Format data, system and cache. That will erase everything.
However you go about it, you will have to do a proper full wipe and you're data will be erased. I suggest you do a proper full wipe and reflash 33.1 or 33.2 since many have reported the stability of those builds and they do have much to offer from 32.
One last suggestion, don't install that v6 supercharger since it constantly kills apps to preserve memory. It can cause phone, contact lags since these apps are booted out of memory.
Good luck.

Thnx for the reply buddy
Well I guess I've no choice but to do a clean wipe. So, I have to wait for a break from my work before I take up this task again. Will keep the supercharger in mind. That's a very good tip btw :good:.
Suggest Full wipe / cache / dalvik etc and Install V33 as V33.2 was laggy for me too, try installing with Siyah V1.8 and Ext to Sdcard MOD and it is mega fast!
Well, I did a full wipe and it looks better now. I did not install the V6 Supercharger.
Hope that it keeps smooth after install all my apps.
Thanks
I did not have any of the aforementioned problems. I only clear cache, dalvik, baterry status reset between Omega updates. I also let V6 Supercharger install every time. Phone is not laggy and I use it 99% of the time with Power Saving activated (CPU, Screen, turn off haptic).
I am lucky I guess.
P:S: I should mention that I never install bloatware (clock, dual clock, live screensavers, talkback, samsung **** and such)

[GENERAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 [NIGHTLY] by OldDroid General Disscussion

Well I saw a lot of posts,queries & questions in the Dev Thread (I often have many ).. which were simply SPAM and were deleted..
But these are real problems with probably simple solutions...
So felt like creating a general discussion thread for this Awesome ROM by OldDroid...
Hope this would help solving our minor non-dev issues...
The Dev Thread here
N ya..If I have helped you anyway, Thanking me wouldn't cost you anything....
Installed it last night, so far everything works, just battery worries me a bit, not sure if it hold a whole day...
Usage since this morning
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8z0x35a5720zva1/2013-01-28 14.21.46.png
I only listened to music, no wifi, no 3g, auto brightness
It will last long. Try to set up the lowest brightness level. Im using almost the same like you. about 1 h of music a day, sometimes when needed 2G/3G for a bit. It drains fast from 100% to 60-50% and than it last normally long. I charge my battery for 1-1,5 day. Is all right.
hey, thanks for starting the tread, I couldn't post in the dev theme, since I'm a new member.
Installed it last week and it's far from dissapointing, but obviously not flawless...but what OS is?
So far:
- battery drains faster than usual, but you're right, falls down fast, but doesn't drain completelly for a while, just like the level in my car
- a minor bug regarding the audio jack: of you're already playing music when plugging the headphones it goes on OK, if you pull it out it will pause, which is also OK, but if you start the music again it won't play on the rear speaker, but on the front (telephone) speaker...
How did you guys pimp it up to make the battery last longer and the UI smoother?
In RC0 release, there's no lockscreen, my home button can't be used.
Now i'm back to previous release...
I really love this rom but the latest release dissappoint me...

SMSC Issue
Hi! I've installed this ROM like 3 or 4 times last week, but yesterday's install went a little wrong: I have the SMSC Issue, so can't send SMS.
Alredy tried the solutions all around the web that I found, like restarting in a lot of situations, modificiation or addition of numbers or hexadecimal codes from the "hidden" menu (dialing *#*#4636#*#*, etc.), taking my sim into another android phone or any non-android phone to restore the setting, again restarting a lot, reinstalling this ROM (both nightly and RC0). Still can't send SMS.
So, after a lot of research and experiences, I found out that the issue is not related to my SIM Card (because the numbers are OK and they don't show errors, but the correct info .Quadruple checked). It is (I believe) related with this ROM in both releases. I know that because I installed Lewa OS and everything works fine. I didn´t have to check nothing because It just worked fine. I can send SMS in other ROMS but not in this one anymore.
Maybe It's something in the system files, something in RILs that doesn't read the info (the info It's there, not erased), any corrupted APK, maaaaybe a file (or files) in the SD card that was written and since I didn't deleted anything, It's corrupting.
At the moment of writing this post, I installed Wayland_Ace's ROM, and I still can´t send SMS. Then installed LewaOS again and I CAN send SMS again.
What could this problem be?

To install Gapps:
Put Gapps on thee root of your SD (ie not in a folder)
Boot into CWM
Check to make sure that /system, /data, / sdcard are mounted (if not, mount them)
Choose zip from sd
Select the gapps package
Flash it
Check to make sure that /system, /data, /sdcard are mounted (if not, mount them)
Reboot
Note, Google Maps, Gmail, etc. are not included in the slim Gapps built for the Ace, you have to manually install it from the Play Store (and push it to /system/app if you want)

If you already have the basic gapps package installed in your ROM, then installing Google Maps is not a big deal. Just download it from the Play Store!

Great ROM, poor performance
I've installed this ROM and it's great to see that our old ACE can stay updated with the most recent Android version. Therefore, a big thanks to developer effort.
However, I'm facing several performance problems on the phone. Almost any action on it takes up to 3 seconds to complete and typing is absolutely painful, with a lot of lags. Also, FC and reboots are constant. Do you have any tips to improve performance? I've also installed Link2SD to get more space using an ext2 partition, I'm not sure whether this relates with any performance issues.
Thanks!
Hi everyone, I just want to ask if is there any way to turn the volume warning off? When I want to listen to music it's kind of annoying.

Thanks, but it happens every time i restart the phone. I think I have to get used to it.
BTW: I downloaded the latest nightly build. The only changes I've seen so far are opening the quick settings using 2 fingers, and transparent notification panel. (and some Play Store issues) Have you guys notice any other changes so far?

about crt-animation
someones could make a patch for enable crt-animation in last relese 05-02-2013 please?
send from my ace
Other change I noticed is the Trebuchet settings are not in settings but on homescreen after pressing menu button and other ringtones for alarm and such. Google play woirks flawlessly for me btw and everything else pretty much too. Never had any fc's or audio problems as well. Battery is not bad. It can last a day without problems. No tweaks or scripts. I only use the TW5 launcher (personal prefference) and the s2e flashable zip for cm10.1. Everything works like a charm. Thanks olddroid

[Q] Cyanogen sync with gmail address book, and Swype

Hello all,
I didn't find a Cyanogen specific forum so I'm posting here.
The last stock update to my Galaxy SII somewhat messed it up, it started running boiling hot, drining the battery without showing any CPU or anything. So today I installed the stable CyanogenMod (10.1.3) and so far it doesn't have this problem.
Two important questions:
- how do I get my gmail address book inside the phone ? Under Settings/Accounts I only see CyanogenMod, and trying to add one gives me Corporate (Exchange), CyanogenMod (again) and Email.
- how do I get Swype ? It's not available from the Language&Input settings.
- how do I view the external SD card from the file manager ? It only shows the internal storage.
OK, that was 3. Thanks

Did you also install the gapps package when installing CyanogenMod? The Google Account is only available when you install gapps.
CyanogenMod doesn't come with Google Apps and accound and other Googly stuff preinstalled, due to licencing issues. You have to flash gapps separately in recovery, after installing CyanogenMod. You can read more about gapps and download them here.

Swype is available here on Play Store. There is also a free version, you can find it on Play Store as well.
Note that to be able to install apps from Play Store, you have to install the gapps package first.

Go to File manager - Settings - General Settings, and under Access Mode select Root Access Mode. Press allow on the dialog that pops up, and then go back to the directory listing in File Manager. On the top of the app you will see the path which you are currently viewing. Click on the / and you will get to the root directory of your phone, where you can find a folder called externalSD or something similar. That is your external SD card.
Hope this helps.

That solves it, but requiring root just to access sdcard files is a bit dangerous if it can access any system files as well...

Well, root access is not required to access the external storage card, but you have to enable root access to be able to go to other directories than internal SD card in the CyanogenMod File Manager. It is a bad design decision, though.
You may install other file manager apps from the Play Store, lots of them have the option to access external SD card without root. I don't have a phone with internal AND an external storage, so I can't test it, but I believe Clean File Manager will do the job fine, at least based on its Play Store description. You could also try Astro File Manager or ES File Explorer, these are one of the most popular file managers on Android.
Thank you. I used "OI file manager" and it worked fine.
I have a few other questions as I discover Cyanogen if you don't mind:
- it took me a while to get the FM radio working again, thanks to Spirit UL
- using the default Apollo music player, I don't see how I can 'Play all'. I can queue a song, an album or an artist. But I don't see how I can randomly play everything. The menu button hardly ever seems to do anything.

This may be because you are using CyanogenMod 10.1. Apollo was just beginning when CM 10.1 was released, so the option to Shuffle All may not be there. I've got CyanogenMod 10.2 on my phone and CyanogenMod 11 on my tablet and I've got the option to Shuffle All present when I press the overflow menu button on the starting screen of Apollo. See the picture:

If you really don't have the option there, you have a few options:
Install a newer version of Apollo from this thread.
Install a newer version of CyanogenMod, which will include the newer Apollo. CM 11 is the latest and greatest, and a lot has improved from CM 10.1. Here is the official thread for your device. Really, you should try it.
Install another music player. I'm using NexMusic and I'm very happy.
By the way, when you reply to someone, then if you quote his post, he can get a notification that you quoted the post and find out about your new reply. Otherwise it's a small probability that he'll notice there is a new post in the thread. I saw your reply by chance, when I was searching for another thread I posted in.

You have the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100, right? I sent you the link for CM 11 for that device in the previous post. 10.1.3 was the last release marked as stable, but don't let that fool you. I'm using nightlies on my tablet and they are running without a problem. On an popular older device, like the S II, the stability bugs have been fixed during the long development period, and now it is running nearly without problems. Yesterday they even released a M3 Snapshot build, so there should really be no major problems and almost no minor problems, for sure stable enough for daily usage. Still, I'd recommend you to look at your device's thread and see if someone reported some major problem or not.

That's good to know. I'll try nightly then.
I tried NexMusic and it's nice. A related question is that I have headphones with a 'play/pause' button and when I hold the button it brings up Google voice input. I'd rather have a 'skip to next song' function. Looked at some hardware button threads but did not see a direct solution in the settings. I installed ButtonRemapper but I also don't see distinctions for long presses there.

You can try Headset Button Controller, for me it works the best of all the apps I tried on my HD2. It has specific options for long presses and much more.
