Hello to all
Too many people don't have enough posts to post on my rom's thread.
So i decided to created a new thread in general!
Here you can post your problems or ask something you dont understand for the flashing process etc.
Will be posted flashing info and known flashing problems here soon.
So feel free to post your question, or report a bug!
1. How to flash Kyrillos' rom?
- Instructions: Here
2. I just flashed Kyrillos' rom and after flashing the phone bootloops (it plays the same boot sound again and again).
- You havent done a Wipe data/factory reset in Recovery mode. Remove the battery & re-insert it, go into recovery mode (Vol up + Vol down + home + power), and select the Wipe data/factory reset option. Click yes, and reboot.
3. The phone booted but my sd partition isnt working. What should i do?
- Firstly you have to ensure that you put the Hybrid Data2SD files in your sdcard. They are contained in v8.0 rom you downloaded. You can also download them from here. You must put the four files (data2sd.dirs, fs.data2sd, multiosdata, multiosdata.cache) in /sdcard/Android/data/G3mod/*. Then reboot your phone and your partition should work.
4. I partitioned my sdcard but i dont see the free sdcard (a2sd) space in Titanium Backup.
- Hybrid Data2SD doesnt show up in Titanium Backup. Its normal Fixed
5. After restoring my backup with Titanium Backup, i dont see all my apps in Android Market.
- Go in Titanium Backup, find Android Market and wipe Android Market's data. Reboot your phone, and it should be ok.
6. I have too much lag!
- Make sure that you dont have more than 50 User Apps installed in your phone.
- Go in titanium and do a batch operation: Move all apps to internal memory
- If you have a linux-swap partition in your sdcard, delete it.
- Go in Settings/Sound and disable all Feedback sounds (leave the haptic feedback checked if you want )
7. I have battery drain issue.
- Let the battery calibrate itself and after 3-4 days recheck if the problem remains.
- If your problem isn't fixed and you have installed the Overclocked version, install Setcpu and change the governor to OnDemand or Conservative. You can try to Undervolt/Underclock the cpu too. You should make a screen off profile (83min - 400max) too.
- If SetCPU is not used, in OC version, CPU frequency is at stable 800MHz, on performance, so there MUST be a battery draining^^
So, SetCPU is absolute nesassary to be installed and set up. Best working governour is ondemand, if it laggs, drop up threshold in advanced to lower level.
8. What are the best settings for setcpu? [Updated 25/10/11]
- Main tab: Min 83Mhz, Max 800-1200MHz, Scaling: Ondemand (or Conservative), Set on boot: Tick
- Profiles tab: Set on boot: tick
- Profile (1): In call: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:100
- Profile (2): Time profile: 1AM - 7AM (here put the time you sleep), min/max 83MHz, Scaling: Powersave, Priority: 99
- Profile (3): Screen off: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:98
- Voltages: Try -100mV in all frequencies from 500-1200. If it hangs, try -75mV/-50mV, apply, set on boot: tick
9. How to enable v6 supercharger?
- Go in Terminal Emulator, type "su" hit [enter] (you may see a superuser popup, press "Allow", then type "v6_supercharger" hit [enter]
- Choose scrolling speed "2".
- It will ask you if you want intergration with init.rc, choose yes (press Y).
- It will ask you if the home is locked in memory, choose no (Press whatever you want except Y)
- When you see this: Please enter option 1-30, enter 2
- Let the rest of the text scroll through. When script finishes, press the home button, then press the power button and reboot the phone.
- For best results, go in recovery and wipe dalvik-cache and cache.
Note: You must re-enabled v6_supercharger after kyrillos' rom updates!
10. I have a partition in my sdcard and each time i try to install an app from market, the phone just reboots!
- This could be a corrupted filesystem problem. Make a backup d repartition your sd.
- Wipe data/factory reset.
11. I really miss some removed apps. Where can i find them & how to install them?
- You can find any app you want in this thread [By Dharam]
- To install an app, you must put it in /system/app/. There are many ways to do that.
- a) Copy the app you want to install in your sdcard. Use an app, which called root explorer. Open it, find the app you want, copy it, navigate to /system/app/, press the Mount R/W button on the top-right of your screen once, the click paste. Reboot your phone.
- b) You must know how to use adb. adb push appname.apk /system/app/
12. Kies isn't working.
- I highly recommend you to stop using Kies and start using Titanium Backup!
- Anyway, to get it working you must download this and this app and put it in /system/app/
13. How much left data space is normal to have after i install Kyrillos' rom?
- If you dont have partition in your sdcard: ~112MB
- If you have partition in your sdcard: ~150+MB
14. Gps isn't working.
- The gps in our phone isnt the best. I did try to make it better and for many users i did succeed.
15. I have partition in my sdcard but internal storage is still 200MB instead of eg. 1200MB (if partition => 1GB)
- Its normal. Your partition works as it should, but its not full data2sd, and thats the reason that it doesnt show 1200MB.
16. One of my apps cant start because it detects that i have adblock on my phone.
- Download Adfree Android from Android Market, open it and click "Revert"
17. When i sent messages in Arabic it displays ??? ? ? ???? ??? ???
- Go in messaging settings => Input Mode: and change it to Automatic or Unicode
18. I want to set an mp3 file as ringtone or notification sound. What should i do?
- Make a "media" folder in your sdcard. Inside it make an "audio" folder and then make a "ringtones" or "notifications" folder and place the mp3. Reboot and select it from settings
19. The order of the messages is fu**ed up. How to fix it?
- Go to Settings => Date and Time. Untick "Automatic" and et the correct Time Zone!
20. Sometimes i see squares instead of letters.
- It happens because the Ubuntu font. Download android fonts from v9.0_extras if you cant live with it
21. What about themes? How can i know if a theme is compatible with kyrillos rom?
- Firstly, you have to check it it supports nine lockscreen. (If it doesnt, contact the developer of the theme and ask him to enable his theme 9 lockscreen support)
- You can replace any if the theme files EXCEPT: Settings.apk, android.policy.jar, framework.jar, services.jar. If you do replace any if those, your phone will bootloop.
- Enjoy the theme
22. What is Chainfire3D? How to configure it? (Use version v2.8)
- Info: Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality. (More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427)
- With Kyrillos' rom v9 + Chainfire3D you can play some 3d games, or play some games better than before & without white textures.
- Chainfire3D installation: Ensure that you have Kyrillos' rom v9 OC. Download Chainfire3D Free or Chainfire3D Pro, run it, accept the su permissions. Press "CF3D driver", and then press "Install". The phone will reboot in a few seconds/minutes.
- Plugin installation: When it boots up, download the plugins (search for Chainfire3D plugins on google. Plugins: libGLEMU_NVIDIA.so, libGLEMU_POWERVR.so, libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.so), put the in your sdcard and open the app. Press "Install Plugins and Shaders". The app will search your phone to see if there is any plugin available in your sd. Install all the three plugins. Go back to the main app menu.
- Configure Chainfire3D: In the main app menu, press "Default OpelGL settings". Select the option "Reduce texture quality", and then choose plugin by pressing "Use plugin". There are 3 choices: Powervr, Qualcomm & Nvidia.
- Test the plugins: Select the "Powervr" plugin and run the game you want. Run it for a minute. Then close the game and change the plugin to "Qualcomm" and run the game for a minute. Compare which plugin worked best (if it worked) and enjoy the game. Note: Nvidia games require Nvidia plugin.
23. Most of the apps are being installed in sdcard instead of internal/partition. How can i change the default app install location to internal?
- Open terminal amulator
- Type:
su (enter)
pm setInstallLocation 1 (enter)
- Done [Info: 0 (Auto), 1 (Internal), 2 (External). You can see the current state by typing "pm getInstallLocation".]
24. How to convert my sdext partition from ext3 to ext4?
- Download KMapp from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301697
- Install it and run it. Accept the superuser permissions and press the menu button. Select "Filesystem Conversion". Scroll down and select Sdext => ext4 and click "Convert".
25. What is Mobile Tracker and how to set it up? (Highly recommended // Enabled it in case you lose your phone) (for Kyrillos rom v9.4+)
- The Samsung Galaxy 3 comes with a mobile tracker software by default which is not activated, as you need to register your phone and account with the Samsung online website. Only then the option works and your phone goes more safer, as the Mobile tracker is one of the best options to use when your phone is stolen or lost.
The Samsung Dive mobile tracker is something that helps you remotely work on your phone when it is stolen. The online website of its helps you in remotely swiping the phone and delete delete your private data. Though this service is not available in India, a few features of its work, like prompt SMS sending when the phone is used with any new SIM than that which was used to register with the mobile tracker. The app also helps in getting the location information of the phone.
- How to set it up (source):
α. Go to Applications => Settings section in the phone. Select Location and Security tab in it.
β. Scroll down in the menu in Location and Security, and you will see a section for Mobile tracker. Here you need to hit the “Set Mobile Tracker” option which will set the mobile tracker recipient and control the remote phone that is activated. It will take you through the process of registration and set-up of the mobile tracker.
γ. The first thing you need to set is the mobile tracker password which would be asked to you or anyone who changes the SIM in the phone. It has to be of 8 digits and all numeric characters in it. You need to remember this password for always, as it can get your phone locked if you forget it and type the wrong password multiple times.
δ. After you set the password, you need to add recipients to whom the phone sends an SMS from the new SIM to notify/alert them about the changes made in the phone.
ε. Set the information of the sender, i.e. the Sender name and the message to be sent to the recipient. And then agree to the terms.
στ. Login through your Samsung account, and if you have not registered to it, you can do that for free online by registering the product. And then you would be directed to the mobile tracker settings where you can change any recipient or make changes in the samsung account.
ζ. After everything is setup, go back to the Settings section, and into the Location and Security section. There you have to check the “Mobile Tracker” option, so that it is activated.
Note: If at all you have reset your phone through the factory reset option, all the information in the Mobile tracker is lost. You need to set it all over again.
- Now if you lose your phone or somebody stole it, you can track it and/or lock it and/or wipe all your private data in SamsungDive.

I flashed your version of ROM directly from DDJP2 with the hope that camera bug would go,and the facebook touchsite would open. But even your rom has the same thing. So i changed to the european version new release XWJPF. And its pretty stable an i can bet its boots alot faster than any of the custom rom or even offcial ROM.
Anyway is there any solution.
1)The camera bug. YOu cant click a photo unless you get a fix on location or disable the location settings.
2)Facebook touchsite wont open like it use to open in eclair. DDJP6. And when you open facebook it shows GT-I5510.
Please fix this.

Linux-Swap
What is SWAP?
Swap space is an auxiliary storage, such as a portion of a hard-disk, which can be used as memory by the operating system when system RAM is insufficient. This is especially useful on systems with very little system RAM, such as most DD-WRT compatible routers, as it helps prevent the system from running out of memory when multiple background processes are installed.
Swap is rarely used, and if you have a high class sd you may see more responsive phone.

So in a class 2 SD swap should not be used.
But a class 4 is OK, isn't it?
thx for this thread. Reading for a long time, but i never made a post, because its not possible on the other thread.
Using the non OC 4.1, b/c i had freezes with the OC version. But the normal version is ok for me.
@kyrillos
I tried every rom available here and yours by far the best. thx for the great work

The "gt 5510" issue is Facebook's problem, not Kyrillos's or Samsungs problem. This does not affect anything, other phones are detected falsely, too. Facebook divided phones to groups and the most ubiquotous phone is shown. This only serves for offering you the correct version of Facebook app. This is a non issue.
I never saw "the camera bug", is this present only in India?

i mean when ever i open facebook touch site the mobile site opens. And is there any solution for the camera bug???
Every time i click a photo i have to wait for a lock or have to disable the location.
My camera was working perfect on Stock eclair DDJG6. But after upgraing i am having this prblm. My camera is working perfect but if the location is enabled and if i dont have lock on my position my camera would force close if a click a photo. But if its turned off it works flawlessly. And in FROYO their isnt any option for turning off Geo-tagging.
And when i flashed kyrillos 4.1 i ddnt do any partition or anything i directly flashed it over DDJP2 by wiping cache. And i ddnt understand the procedure of the partitioning properly. I liked the ROM though.
Do you have any solution for this prblem..or a most stable ROM that doesnt have any prblm.
DDJG6>DDJP2>Kyrillos 4.1>XWJPF
tnx for thread.
I have v4.1 and i had some probs. 1st when using CoPilot and GPS. Phone was just turn off, and that happend 4 times :S. 2nd: Day before yesterday, phone just turned it self off, and i couldnt turn it on.
Everything else is OK, I have OC version and its great!
Also, can you put battery change by 1% in new version?

GPS problem flashing from Lestat 1.8 >> Kyrillos 4.1 fixed
Kryrillos,
Thanks for all these roms
Curruntly using 4.1 ultimate non OC.
4.1 OC just sometimes freezes even at 667 mhz.
Tried Lestat 1.8 alpha 14 is was very slow with reading sd card and also the phone reacts slow.
So decide to flash back to Kyrillos 4.1 non oc.
Everything works only GPS fix was not working.
After wipe cache / factory reset.
It is oke, gps fix in 30 sec or less.
can you do something about flash and 3d driver for next version ?

Facebook mobile site is supposed to open if you access Facebook trough browser. Facebook redirects you to the most appropriate version of the site for your device/browser. If you want the Facebook Touch experience, download the Facebook app - called Facebook Touch.

I have tried using facebook touch app but it redirects me to the mobile site i dont know why. Even on the official India Update DDJP2. And what about the camera bug?

Hello All,
I am new to forum. Also new to smart phone world. Earlier I used Iphone 4S. I have two questions as for now:-
1.) Weather application in Iphone was wonderfull but in S4 is useless. Can I uninstall this one which come along with S4 and if that application (Iphone ) is available for android/S4
2.) Is there any good camera application in which date and time get prints on pictures shot ( as in point and shoot camera or SLRs)
3.) Can I install application directly to SD Card so that phone memory remains free.
4.) And Lastly do I really need a antivirus to install on my phone, if yes than which do you suggest.
Thanks All
Answer
1) Yes- if your phone is rooted: you can use any app manager application from the GMarket to do so. If your phone is
is not rooted, you can only turn it off: settings->More->Application Manager->All->find the accuwether app, demon and widget->turn off
(i personally use "eye in the sky"- no complaints
2) Perhaps UCam ot APD TimeStam... i think that 4.3 camera app already has this as feature, but dont count on it
3) I dont know if you can install it directly, but u can move some of then (or all with rooted phone) after install in
'Application Manager' (showed in part 1) -> move to SD card
4) Android is pretty secured OS, so I would not recommend it (studies show that most antivirus apps are not very effective either)
but if you are planning to install external apps (not from Google Play store) and want to be 100% sure, i would recommend
AVG antivirus (lighter) or Avast (heavier, but considered more secured)
I have strange crashes of any app that requires to call a list of all installed apps on my device.
I have two devices on two 8.0 and 8.1 devices, totally different manufacturers, both no root, no mods, nothing, completely stock versions of Android. I can't upgrade them to 9 nor 10... The devices have 3gb and 4gb memory and plenty of storage space. The systems are otherwise stable and no issues, except for the described issue.
When starting any application or a window that requires to fetch a list of installed applications, that application will freeze and then crash 90% of the time. Even the system apps (e.g. system setting activities) would crash if it requires to fetch a list of all of installed apps.
The crash happens while it is still fetching the list of apps installed. After crash I go to restart the app and I wait hoping it doesn't crash. If it does, go over again and would repeat the steps many times until it doesn't crash (I have about 10% chance it doesn't crash)
When do crashes happen:
- System settings activities:
- system settings / App Notifications
- system settings / App Usage
- system settings / Battery Optimization (list of apps)
- system settings / Manage apps
etc..
3rd party application with function to call a list of installed apps on the device ..e.g.:
- Greenify.. I don't use anymore (calls list of applications when I go to add it to list to hibernate) ... BY the way... I WAS running Greenify manually, no automatic function turned on, no system tweaks turned on and no system apps hibernation)
- Hibernator use now instead of Greenify (same as Greenify)... I tried to use this recently as it seems to be crashing only 80% of the time, so gives me better chance than running Greenify
- AppCloner
- Skit (app manager)
When crashes DO NOT happen .. e.g.:
File Manager + (When getting the list of installed apps within File Manager +)
Nova Launcher (e.g. when getting list of apps to include in a folder)
Island (work mode app e.g. when getting a list of apps installed in the mainland
Google Play Store app (when getting list of apps installed)
System Settings activity that does call a shorter list of apps or does not require list of apps... that is when I am calling a system setting that does not require to show a FULL list of apps installed (e.g. if I am calling list of apps in accessibility settings, which is a much shorter list of apps, System Settings app does not crash)
My idea is that both the system settings activities and some of the apps use the same system file listing app/process and that is broken and causing the crash. The 3rd party apps (that do not use this file listing mechanism) do not crash.
Don't know how long is the issue so I can't think of anything I have installed recently. I know I could just disable apps running, disable overlay apps, remove accessibility, admin apps, apps reading usability, do system setting reset etc.. I am not an Android expert, don't even have Windows to do some magic via ADB etc.
I wanted to check to see if anybody came across this exact issue.
