2.3.4 XW european rom known bugs. - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

Hi all;
I'am a proud user of SGR and I'm using stock 2.3.4 carrier-free rom, I only flased the asian kernel via ODIN to get root ( I got yellow triangle).
What I want to report is that I'm having just one annoying bug, I'm getting ramdomly music pause of course I'm not pausing it ( I happens within music, Streaming shoutcast , recording audio..) So... Is this happening to any of you too? Or you all are using 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 where this issue is solved?
I have flashed nothing but rooterd kernel.
Thank you.

Right now, I have only two bugs:
- The display, every time you restart the phone, loses the display mode and returns to "Dynamic".
- Some microSD cards (Samsung 32GB Class 10) results in excessive consumption of battery.
Sorry for my english.
P.D: I´m on 2.3.4 (root).

I confirm it!

- Changing display to dynamic.
- Sandisk 16GB MicroSDHC Class 4 = poor battery life - I can't use this card with my phone, however I didn't try it in my previous phones. Do you know, is it hardware or software issue? My father has the same microSD card in Galaxy S2 and no problems.

Thank you for sharing your thoghts!
I'm also having the screen mode bug.
It's only two major bugs as far as I tested it, pretty content though.
But the mp3 player bug its the big one for me.

Why do you people stay with the old 2.3.4 and complain instead of taking the European 2.3.5 of October or the Asian 2.3.6 of November?

It's not about compaining but about sharing information, which is especially useful for new users. I'm personally on custom 2.3.6

I don´t know if these bug´s persist in later versions you mentioned.

I'm backing it up all , but I'm not updating to 2.3.5 until I find out If these bugs are still in the german rom, It will take more than 5hours to set all my settings even using Ti backup.
In 2.3.4 I have these bugs:
- Music player , radio FM, stops ramdomly
- Display mode it sets every time you reboot to dynamic.
-Brightness ramdom disadjustments
-Native Email APK doesn't have push notifications.
And is this rom capable to switch between 2g/3g ( some carrier roms doesn't allow)
-Autorotation with root does it work?
I guess all these questions will help a lot of people that we are still in 2.3.4 because you never know if a newer rom would have even more bugs than older ones.

ardadat kernel cannot be use with these rom yet..

[ROM] [MT3G LE,1.2] ported_vega-legend-v0.9

Using dsixda's rom kitchen and with some trial and error with a few other roms I ran into some luck with Vega Legend Port v0.9.1.
What doesn't work:
Bluetooth (I need someone with some experience to help with that if you don't mind)
Anything else that we might discover
What this does have:
It should have everything that the original rom has
WIFI works
Multitouch browser
Anything else that we might discover
Requirements
A rooted MyTouch 1.2 device (duh!)
SDCARD with fat/swap/ext3 partition (not sure if 2 or 4 works... haven't tested. Let me know)
A complete wipe (dalvik-cache, data, ext partiton)
Note: I did get a message stating that there is a system update available. Be very careful not to accept this. In fact... I'm thinking about pulling this because I don't want anyone to blame me for messing up their device. Speaking of which...

Enjoy!
"I accept the fact that if I do not know what I am doing or how to apply this rom then I will research first before asking any questions and will in no way shape or form hold anyone with the exception of myself liable for any damages that which may occur. I understand that I should do a backup prior to clicking and downloading any links and files within this post. I also understand that I am chosing on my own will to continue at my own risk."
edit: just realized that you can disable the update check by going into settings > about phone > system software updates and uncheck the box.
Says there's a system update? That's very strange

I'm gonna try installing this ROM without an ext partition, since 512mb ROM should be more than enough for me.
Ok, so after it booted for the first time, it's showing 192mb free space internal memory.
I think this is my favorite of the day.
Damn smooth. Damn fast.
reboots on me occasionally but still ok I think
I'm running this Rom right now and its insanely fast! thanks a lot for the port
Had to uninstall.
While plugged in usb I had no problems at all. After 5 minutes of running while not plugged in, rebooted several times, and completely powered down.

This ROM has the dark video problem (that's supposedly been fixed in the original ROM).

If they made any kernel adjustments then it can't be fixed until we either:
Get driver patches
Get the fender source
Because this is the Fender kernel built into the rom and not the original kernel.
if you were to flash another boot.img it may fix the problem... but you would not have touchscreen. But I foresee something good happening sometime really soon in a form of a patch. In theory and to my understanding, this will allow full use of any 32B rom. It'll be a simple flash of the 32B rom then a flash of the patch. This should fix the headphone and touchscreen issues. It's currently in development if I'm not mistaken. Be patient.
Yes, I know HTC hasn't released the kernel source for the mytouch 1.2 yet. I'm patiently waiting for that to happen so we can get better ROMs.
Is anyone having this problem, my batery life gets draind to like 15% from 100% in an hour like using this rom i tried lowering the brightness turning of wifi and everything else i could do but it still kills my battery
BTW: this rom is excellent

My battery's at 80% and I've been using it for about 7 hours, with wifi on, brightness at 50%, browsing the web for a few mins.
This rom is extremely fast even with no partition. Screen transition is amazing and nearly every feature works.
Only drawback for me is no market. Was is it available on the original rom?

you realize no partitions is faster than an ext2/3/4 partition correct? i javent tested anything without a swap partition so i couldnt put any input on that but ky phone flies with only a swap partition, honestly an ext partition is hghly unnecssary for any mytouch imo

[Q] Why update to GB?? when froyo was so stable?

6 months of using a rock solid stable rom xxkb3 (stock), I had only 1 issue that I needed Gb update that is few new apps only work on GB such as equalizer a great app for music but that too is buggy on GB, it produces tik tak tuk (static sound) on an ideal phone.
I finally updated to xxkpm based custom rom with all those fancy stuff now I observe that the phone is lagging in camera/ phonebook, messeging etc, battery backup is almost same as froyo many version of GB are having problem with following.
high battery drain
WIFI connection drops
In sleep mode, data connection stops working
push mail notification does not work
gtalk/skype video chat does not work
car bluetooth connection drop (phonebook download issue)
I wonder what was this whole GB noise all about, to me version number are just numbers & they don't necessarily mean better stable rom than Froyo.
So I am wondering whats the gain in updating to GB accept that you get a new FW which is still buggy in many areas.
Namaless specifically mentioned that GB is buggy & ditched the development on gb & based his custom rom on xxkb3.
Those who are with GB & prefer GB various version can you tell me what is better in GB that is making you use GB for your daily use? please list features which you think was not available in froyo on i9003
You can see the different here..
http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-android-2-2-froyo-and-android-2-3-gingerbread/
Ya...you are right. But it depends on ur preferanace. I dont need wifi, gmail sync (i do it manually), vdo chat. I just use themes, 2g net, lots of fun apps, latest mods like 10 lockscreens, 14 toggles, kernal related mods. This is our normal user view.
But if u ask any developer especially kernal developers then they will definitely 1st go for gb because source codes are more simpler & gives developer more modification in kernal & whole rom. The problems which u have mentione can be solved in cm7. Regarding vdo calling I have hopes from doomlord. He has kernal & device driver's knowledge.
1. I had problem with WiFi (not as others have), but it was solved with help of copying WiFi settings from Froyo. Now it works well for me
2. Battery drain is the same for me now (Before I was using OsmanFansRom v1.2.1, now CianogenMod7). Look at the image (I used it very small today). As you can see it uses battery with the same speed as on Froyo. Draining depends of usage). When I listen music all time through bluetooth it can work only 12 hours. but it's good for mp3 players, isn't it?
3. Never use this (I don't need email at my phone, I always near PCs), And never checked it
4. I use skype very seldom (and only for chatting). BTW in Froyo Video doesn't work too
5. I'm using stereo bleotooth all day long (listening music, speaking and so on). I never had problem with it. I don't know may be car's bluetooth is different, but I don't think so.
Pluses I received from CM7: It's very customizable, It's very easy to apply themes, it's very good looking for me, and I like to use it even now (when it's beta). I like effects OldTV, showing messages in the top bar, unlock effects, and so on.
here is original screenshot
My reason (apart from the stability), is videocalls. I needs videocalls every day, and this I can only get in Froyo. I only can do videocalls using Tango, and only in Froyo. The other aps (Fring, Oovoo and Skype) in Froyo, and all the apps (includind Tango) in ginger doesn't work. The issue is the same, flickering with the front camera, FC doesn't work well.
I would use ginger because it is more customizable and has things like CRT effect, but I need videocalls, and that only I can do it in froyo and with tango ....
froyo's ancient man!
would u buy a samsung galaxy s 3 years from now,or buy a much better phone for the same price even though u now gs1 is rock stable and solid?
I don't understand you, sorry for my english, but I bought this phone, and I want i9003 give me everything i9003 can do (including videocalls)
GB is better!!!!
Ya man u r right froyo was stable....gingerbread is also stable for normal use....
I felt the following changes-
Speed(u have to agree its fast and smooth)..
More customizable...new and better rom's from developers
Its neat...less lag...better quadrant....more games support..etc

Probably YES since phone to me is a tool to be used for my daily work, life, enjoyment, education etc, The last phone I used was 6 years old moto works like a charm even now, I am not those kinds who are after the latest & greatest & most fashionable phones no matter what the specs may be.
Prime importance for me is, can the phone make me more productive in day to day work/ life, if yes then I will go for it.

Yes due to many new mods its less laggy, but I experienced the same lag in one of the custom rom I tried, now I have changed to another one & will see if it really is a power horse or lags exactly the same way.
So you are saying, "many GB update released and they all crap". That's against the logic why we need updates? Why softwares need updates? Why updates are needed?
First of all stability isn't everthing for hardwares but for sure it's a very important thing. Updates can provide many abilities to hardwares which previous versions can't do. Updates are for to improve performance, efficiency, stability, ergonomics, friendliness. However this doesn't happen as expected and create new problems. And it continues to the time a better solution is arrived.
As for me. I'm using XXKPN.
I can't even use GPS in froyo - Works perfectly now.
I charged my phone everyday - Charging in 2-3 day period.
Lags, self reboots - No lag, no reboot.
Touch sensivity is not bad - After using KPN I say it's perfect.
It takes hours to load phonebook - Loads very very faster now.

No I don't mean that GB is crap, but its still far from being bug free for daily (heavy) usage of various features. Wifi connection dropping is the latest thing which is bugging users. I have faced a bluetooth bug with 2 custom roms they don't work well with car bluetooth & hang at phonebook download but never finishes it thus the music streaming interrupts after 15 sec.
Since I have only used xxkpm whereas xxkpn was released after that may be it sorts out many bugs which I am facing.
The biggest reason for my upgrade is HD playback. This single reason is enough for me.
I think overall Gb is good, I also never have WiFi problem.

Hd video shot with the camera always played smooth in froyo. Hd encoded with certain codec had problems for which I used mobo player.

I updated XXKPN from XXKPE. I heard that many user faced with wifi and 3g issues but I didn't. I don't really know why but small differences on variables can cause various effects on usage. Anyway, it's sensible to use latest software.

But it will not play smooth or through hardware decoding. Now I just download 720 movie and enjoy directly without thinking for converting.

Why did i update?
- Froyo crashes every 2-3 days for me. Gingerbread works perfectly.
- Better battery in Gingerbread
- Feels 'smoother' than Froyo
- .flv files actually play
i have the same problem with GB
can someone tell me how copying WiFi settings from the Froyo?

Hi.
Are you sure you have the same problem as I had? No one before had this problem on this forum.
in the attach my fix to copy settings files. You have to apply this file in the CWM (before applying be sure you have mounted /system partition).
Edit: here is description of my problem. BTW I don't have this problem with ICS ROMs (CM9 or MIUI4)

Slower performance after OTA Android 4.0.3 upgrade

Hi,
After OTA upgrade from GingerBread 2.3.4 to ICS 4.0.3 (FW 3.33.720.6), my Sensation became a lot slower. The main difference is playing HD video. Before the update both MX Player and Vplayer could play both 720p and 1080p files using the HW decoder.
After the upgrade, the same 720p files are stuttering. Nothing has changed except for the OTA upgrade.
Reinstalling the players didn't help.
I ran Antutu Benchmark before the upgrade and received these results:
RAM: 685
CPU integer: 1623
CPU floating point: 706
2D graphics: 291
3D graphics: 1208
Database IO: 300
Write speed: 46
Read speed: 88
I ran Antutu Benchmark after the upgrade and received these results:
RAM: 996
CPU integer: 1542
CPU floating point: 668
2D graphics: 291
3D graphics: 1193
Database IO: 215
Write speed: 18
Read speed: 184
I think the main problem is the 60% decrease in the write speed.
Has anyone experienced this?
regards,
Gromit2005.
format your sd card do a factory reset then try to run benchmark again
Slower than GB is a common complaint with ICS stock rom. Try ARHD 6.6.7 rom its my daily driver. I've found it faster and more stable than stock.

What's the best way to reformat the card and why would it help at all?
I would like to avoid the factory reset, as I have too many applications installed.

AFAIK, The 2d/3d hardware acceleration model has been changed in ICS and HTC has re-written their low level drivers because of that. These drivers are not optimized like GB drivers at present and hence the issue.
When I was running the ICS update for South East Asia region (3.32.xxxx base) , then also I had this issue. I moved to Indian ROM just to see whether they have done any progress in it (3.33.xxxx base) but its not improved at all.
And I have no hope for the future also, HTC Sensation is too old now for HTC to support now. Specially for reasons they can easily deny. But lets try to report this to HTC customer care and see what they say (although we all know the answers by now :| )

Sense :3.6
Software number 3.33.401.6
Build Number 3.33.401.6.CL391535
Kernel : 3.0.16-g31a4fc7
Since then I have noticed a delay in oppennig aplications , even those specific to sense like the clock , mail , photo galery , it takes an aditional 2-3 sec to open in and it is frustating to see this in a dual core phone . My girlfriend has a Galaxy S+ and is faster than my Sensation and it sucks , so is there anybody elese that has noticed this problem ?

switch to a de-sensed rom or AOSP based. delay / lag will be gone as its mainly a sense issue

Sorry but im reckoning that that statement is bollocks. It has more to do with the latest OTA than sense and I have seen (and used) some custom sense ROMs with quite literally no lag

Dude if i wanted a ROM with no Sense, I'd sell my sensation and bought something else. Some people don't even realize that for some of us Sense look and feel was one of the things why we bought those (overprized) damn phones.
@All : All those people who are facing performance issue, check if you have a process by name Media running in background using Settings>Apps>Running Apps. Inside this process, if there is a service running called MediaDBMigrationService then stop it immediately and it will resolve the issue to large extent.
Make it a habit to kill it post 15-20 minutes of restarting your phone till HTC comes up with a solution.

Dude if i wanted a ROM with no Sense, I'd sell my sensation and bought something else. Some people don't even realize that for some of us Sense look and feel was one of the things why we bought those (overprized) damn phones.

that's cool was just offering an option. I do like the sense UI but no matter what rom or kernel or whatever I try it just feels slow compared to de-sensed / AOSP roms. I bought this phone for the hardware and on sense it feels to me like its not running at full potential. just my opinion

For me it's the end of the line here. Yesterday I went and bought a new S3. Now all I need to do is sell sensation. And I have to say that S3 runs like the wind
My last HTC!
This is probably my last HTC phone for now. Next will be Samsung. Solving problems by HTC means, about half year. After update in autumn, we were waiting until April to solve the problem with screenshots when the Home pressed - WITHOUT THE POWER BUTTON. Now they send us some sh... which slow down the phone to the HTC Wildfire, with the hTC timeline the problem could be solved on christmas
They should learn by ASUS where the updates are coming every month
Personally never had a problem with sense 4. Runs wonderfully no lag at all.

Any Kit-Kat Roms coming our way?

Sounds like they did a good job with optimizing broadcast batches so as to cut down on battery life and also cut down on memory requirements for the system and phones like ours with low RAM.
It sounds like a great fit for this phone. Does anyone know if CM or other solo developers plan to bring KitKat to the MPQ?
Thanks
Yes, in due time.
Patience. Don't ask for ETA's.
Looks like Motorola has updated their software upgrade page for the Moto X to say that it is receiving Kit-Kat, but Photon Q's page has an ambiguous "Future plan coming soon". I doubt we'll get an official update, but personally I care more about the Play Services updates. Most of the Kit-Kat features (besides some IR stuff) seem like they are already in CM.

i dont think that Motorola will make another update for our photon q and even if so, why should they update it to android 4.4 instead of 4.2 or 4.3 ?

Google has been releasing updates fairly fast, so some device manufactureres deciced to skip some of them and move to the latest version available to keep up with development.
Though I am not avare of any Motorola produced device that was receveing long term updates, they abandon it soon (more-less) after release.
Even nexus devices fall under 18-month update policy: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Goog...Galaxy-Nexus-will-not-get-Android-4.4_id48950
However, there are other factors regarding samsung galaxy nexus: "While Google clearly states the 18-month rule for dropping Galaxy Nexus support, it is also likely that the company was forced to take this step because Texas Instrument, which manufactured the processor for the device, has shut down its mobile phone business."
Agreed. Better battery life and less RAM usage on 4.4 would make it a welcome improvement for the Photon Q LTE. I would also like to see Miracast (Widi) working properly. At 1.9 Ghz on the Wheatley gov with it's dual Core, thanks to Dev's like Argggh, if we had 4.4....it would be another year before I even thought about getting a new phone. May be an GS5 by that time, or the Nexus 6.
If not by moto is it possible to compile it from source? Like cm, or would it be dependent on moto proprietary 4.3 stuff?

T-Mobile Moto X has got KitKat leaked update yesterday. It's too fast and will be the first non nexus to receive KitKat.

CM-11.0 is in development, but I'd not expect that to be stably useable in a month.
It can boot and the graphics seems to be fine, but no audio, camera and wifi yet, at this moment...

Because there is probably no upgrade path in the coming year for the Photon Q. Slates don't count. So it should get the latest and greatest until a successor is planned.

The SD card is kind of a critical one... And I'm not sure what is missing :/
As for keyboard backlight, I've ported this to other ROM's like AOKP - and it is NOT going to be a straightforward task on AOSP - probably not worth the effort.
Hoping to get the SD card fixed, that is annoying!!

Yeah, it was fun booting your build up just to see^^
Only problem I had was finding a working GApps....could load your build fine but if i tried to load any of PA's GApps or some others(like the one you have listed in your thread) I would just get constant bootloop. Anyway, looking forward to CM 11! Thanks for the update Skrillax :good:

Best umi z Rom ???

I dont know whats the best and newest stabel rom for the umi z. I found. Umi z lite, Noa MM and Nougat. Gemini. Or the Original ? Can anyone give a answer pls
I would love to know that too. I've seen a few ROM's that seem to be better than the Umi Z Stock Rom. However, with the 7.1.1 Lite ROM it's almost impossible to read the user experiences, because it's on a Russian platform, so I have to rely on the quality of Google Translate.
For me, I've experienced the following issues on the stock ROM (latest OTA of MM) ;
- sometimes the sound stops working (alarms, ringtone & music etc.) and I have to restart the device to make it work again.
- video's don't have the best quality
- the camera is barely usable on third party apps (Snapchat, Google Camera), because they cannot change the ISO values? (or so UMI says) Result: very dark video's / photo's
- the phone sometimes heats up to a point that I have to stop using it in order to let it cool down again. I don't know if this could be solved by software tho, maybe it's just a hardware problem...
- connectivity > in the supermarket / stores the connectivity is really bad. I have zero signal. With this, I also don't know if it's software/hardware.
- Bluetooth > Very short range before it starts to sound really bad
Did anyone have these problems too with the stock ROM and did the custom ROM worked for you to solve these problems? Also, what issues have occurred on the custom ROM? I would also like to know what ROM has the best battery performance.
I'm sorry for this long post, I just really want to find out, like Dobberman, what the best custom ROM is for this phone (cuz for me the stock ROM crashes / has a lot of problems)
Thanks in advance.

So I am as much as you. I've read all sorts of reports from users of all the roms out there. But I must confess that the best Rome is still the last floor nougat. On the nougat rom I then flash some tools like greenify and make build.prop settings. After that she runs real solid. The reception is not the best on the phone, but Build.prop tweaks can improve things a bit. So I actually received quite a good reception. In shops, he is not so great, but usually sufficient. Have now actually tested all available roms.

So you are now using the Umi stock Nougat ROM with tweaks? I've read a lot of problems about the Android 7.1.1 update on Umi Z (having to restart after flight mode etc).
Did you try any of the custom ROMS? What problems did occur to you when you tried them?
I've never done anything with build.prop settings, so I'm not quite sure if that would be an option for me..

I don´t have anything Problems whit the Stock Rom.
At the beginning I also had problems with the stock rom. But I could fix it by simply flashing all of Rome's releases with the flash tool via firmware upgrade without having to start the phone until I had installed them all after each other. (also the beta version) After that everything worked well for me. Only I do not get more than 4-5 hours of screen on time. No matter what I do, but that will simply be due to the processor ... you can not really adjust this. I tried everything.
The custom roms are just so that most have a very bad camera. The battery life is usually not much better than the normal Stock Rome. Otherwise, I have not been able to detect big bugs.
As long as we do not get source code, it will not change much, I think.
Edit: you can See my sot. I test whit amplifiy. Powernap ans other tools like xposedandroidtools. And also you can See the green signal all the time.

Based on what you said, I've decided to upgrade the ROM to Android 7.1.1. The performance / speed is a lot better on this ROM and thus far I have not experienced any lagg or apps that stopped working; which is a relieve. However, the quality of the camera seem to have dropped and there is a greenish tint on it. Also, on third party apps it is still too dark to make pictures / video's.
Are the mentioned tweaks the ones to fix these problems? Or did you install another camera? I've seen the Lenovo and HTC camera in other threads about the Umi Z. I hope you can help me

Great hehe. I can say thats not a camera APP Problem. You update the Software From the Start rom, whit the flash tool as Firmware upgrade. And you will See the Problem gone. I have this find out as i flashet the Rom back and forward many times and testet the Rom differents. From all original umi z Roms. DL all original umi z roms and flash it. Dont Start it. Finish The last flash and you can Start it.

What do you mean with " install all the ROMS?" Isn't it true that I only have to install the latest ROM (V7.01.20170711). Are you telling me that if you flash this ROM (instead of OTA), that the greenish tint in the camera and the dark camera in third party apps will be gone? I honestly don't understand how that could be possible. I've had the same issue with the dark camera in all the previous OTA versions. Only the green tint occurred in the 7.1.1 ROM

download all official roms and flash all with the flash tool from umidigi with firmware upgrade. Begin with the first version of the umi z cellphone. Until you arrived at the last version. then you can start the mobile phone. No cam probs more

resulted in a much better signal from mobile provider. 4G reception vastly improved. Thanks Marly97
