Posts questions about Jelly Bean Here! - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Recently, there have been quiet a few threads with questions about JB roms and i have gotten quite a few PMs from users asking about stuff in JB. Many of these users arent at 10 posts yet and cant post in the cm10/cm10.1 threads. Also, for many users (including me), this is their first experience with jelly bean.
So i have decided to make this thread so that people can post their questions about Jellybean roms (cm10, cm10.1, PA, PAC-man, etc.)

reserved, just in case

Does reverting back from cm10 to TB require flashing kernel? Just making sure
Sent from my I9000 using xda app-developers app

What's the general status of cameras on Jelly Bean ROMs? I've seen a few posts that make it look like they kinda work, kinda don't (which is a step up from where I last saw it of not working at all).

Thank you for mentioning Fast Burst. I was looking for a (better) alternative to Snapchat, and Fast Burst is MUCH BETTER !!! Both front and rear cameras work..WOO HOO :good:

Please stop, camera doesn't work. You can't say that it works just because you can take a screenshot o preview........

It works fully for me.

Front camera works fine. The rear one has problems on saving the photo and some glitches on the preview. But since it woks at least on preview, some app like Fast Burst Camera simple takes a screenshots of the device. In other words the camera DO NOT fully works. Also the resolution of the photo taken by the app Fast Burst Camera is ~720x480 or 0.3 MP instead of 3.2MP, so the quality is much much worst.

Right on time I was just about to make a thread about this what is the easiest way to get Jelly Bean. I don't really care or need the camera it's pure **** as it is.

Do we just wipe Dalvik Cache if we want to switch between JB ROMS? I want to go back to Jackpot from Pac-man

just dalvik should be fine.
but if your are ocd, then you probably want to do a full wipe

I should update. Only wiping Dalvik and flashing causes alot of problems. Had to do a full wipe.

PacMan ROM Screen Background
How does one hide the 4 pacman symbols that you see in display background?

On CM10.1, "No Wallpaper" was an option. Where's the same option on PacMan ?

Really ?? That is so hard to believe !!
I was using no wallpaper in CM10.1, and when I flashed pacman and rebooted, I had no wallpaper. It wasn't until I went into settings and fooled with the theme and the pacman toggle (whatever that does) when lo and behold, the 4 pacman icons appeared. Having to resort to using a black image to hide those 4 icons seems so uncool.
EDIT: I installed "No Wallpaper" from Play Store..Mission accomplished

I also would appreciate a newbie's step-by-step guide to installing (CM10.1/kernel 3.0 I guess) on the YP-G70.

MIUI Launcher in Jelly Bean

Does anyone have tested the MIUI Launcher (aka MiHome) in CM10? It's working fine? I would love if someone could test it. It's the only thing that keeps me from updating to JB.
Thanks
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
i don't think it will work, if u like miui wait for v4 stable.
I tried miui home not working in jelly bean.
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
Thanks guys, I'll be looking for future updates.
I'm pretty sure it relies strongly on the framework (like the original BLUR Laucnher, i.e.), thus not working with any non-MIUI ROM. I also remember that, somewhere around here, a guy ported/found replacements for most MIUI apps, give the search tool a try, you might find it. I'm not sure that Launcher is included in these apps, though.

New JB 4.2 Camera and Gallery with Photosphere

This is the new JB 4.2 camera and gallery with Photosphere (patched version from Android Police).
I tried it with ICSROM, and it worked OK. The camera works for 5-10 pics before FC.
I couldn't get Photosphere to work without FC.
Might work better with other ROMs.
Anyway, I thought some of you might like to play with it.

I know it is a bit off topic, but it concerns the same leak so I hope it's OK to ask here. Has anyone managed to get the 4.2 keyboard working? I've flashed the 4.2 keyboard zip a few times, it says that it was successful, but when I go to settings/language and input it isn't there. I'm running MIUI JB by Th3Bill. Thanks in advance.
It kind of runs on the ics leak based rooms - crashes after a few words so its unusable...

Gallery works but camera shows just a white image. When i take a shot, i cant see what i m taking, but in the gallery it shows the pic :crying:
Using epinters cm10 rom
The camera works with MROM-ICS CM9 but there is not enough setting there.
The Gallery is not working.
Camera shoes a white screen and when captured the image is really there in the gallery camera in photosphere mode gets force closed.

Try HWA CM10 builds. BTW someone needs to update those, they worked great just outdated CM versions now.
I had the 4.2 keyboard working on EPinter's CM10 (not sure which date) Used for about a day and went back to SwiftKey. Hopefully, they release their 'Flow' which looks more promising than 4.2 keyboard and Swype.
Edit: the one I tried was incomplete 4.2 keyboard that Google requested be taken down. The "swype" like trail was grey and the whole thing looked like a beta preview.

I think Photosphere FC's is because of Atrix doesn't have a gyro and Nexus' do. Is it true?

per app dpi settings

this app and framework allows you to change dpi settings on a per app bases and it works on any rooted ics or newer rom. It does give you the youtube tablet ui on the playstore youtube app.

I use it on my galaxy player 4.0 running the first linaro build of nebula and it is awesome.

What size in RAM have this app? Cause PA have a lot of RAM consume, so maybe is better to have CM+this app to have this appereance settings...
correct me if I am wrong but dpi changes have no connection to ram usage.

I think he's asking what the difference is in free ram between installing the PAC rom and installing CM10.1 with this framework.

[Q] Fastest ROM

Introduction:
Hi everyone! I'm currently running Chip v1.5 with Entropy's kernel on my US YP-G70. It's great, but I'm wondering if there is a faster ROM to use (eg: less CPU use and less resource-consuming background processes). JoyOS seems great but I'm wary of the slow wireless connecting and iOS theme.
What I'm Looking for (MUST):
- fully working camera (taking photos and videos, and not just on fastburst)
- working wi-fi and bluetooth
- GPS compatibility with Gapps (apparently some ROMS - forgot which specifically - have GPS issues)
- Built-in non-stock launcher (as in the stock launcher is removed and some other launcher is installed as the only and default launcher)
- light (low RAM usage, like LewaOS claims 200 MB+ free)
- fast
It Would Be Nice to Have...
- customizable lockscreen built-in (or an option to disable the lockscreen so I can use WidgetLockscreen without excess processes)
- overclocking (don't worry - I won't go crazy and set it above 1.2-ish)
- Samsung bloatware removed
Closing Statement:
Please comment below to suggest me some ROMs that satisfy the above conditions. With the requirement of a working camera and bluetooth, I'm probably looking for a Stock/GB-based ROM. On a last note, I know you devs out there put a lot of work into your ROMs, so I hope I'm not coming off as unappreciative.
CM 10.1? I use a few tweaks.

Actually, I would love to use CM 10.1 with Sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252851) to get that wonderful 441MB RAM but people keep saying that neither bluetooth nor the camera works. Perhaps the tweaks you mentioned deal with those? Btw thanks, TheKryptonite, for helping me out again.

Bluetooth works and both cameras work (albeit you can only take pictures with the rear camera using FastBurst). There is also a video fix zip file floating around that will give you video recording functionality.
I wouldn't really call it working when you can take 800x480 "pictures" but always something. 3mpx quality was awfuk too. I have to try that fastburst

Because capturing pictures doesn't work, only preview does. So they take screenshots using fast burst. But image previews are bad quality. So they're trying to fix the camera

as far the the best performing rom u really should stick with stock based roms. that just my advice if you were to update u must realize that you must sacafice a few features but your than also get a ton of new minor ones back i guess it just depends on your own preference.
I'm not looking for jb roms in particular, so gb-in fact, any-roms are fine with me, given they satisfy the criteria, of course

Because JB ROMs needed to optimize in many ways. AOSP Roms have many RAM but that doesn't mean it's smooth. For free RAM, yes we can multitask but for GPU, it need lots of work.
