Starting to hate my phone :@

Hey guys im really starting to hate this phone at first i was like ok maybe its me used to having better devices but this whole week this phone its acting up and really slow and apps lags a lot. Im on the stock 2.3.6 with the kj1 kernel and the adrenaline shot v12. I dont really get it. Why im having all this problems. I can honestly say that my old vibrant, g2x, my touch4g,iphone 3gs, iphone 4 and even the lg optimus and the moto cliq xt,works a lot better stable and faster than this phone the worst phone ever for me. Looking forward to another device. Thinking a lot going back to att and buying the iphone 4s

Rly?
The phone is not guilty that your arms grow from your ass.
Iphone, yes go buy an iphone and we'll have with a noob, idiot and troll less at the same time.
If you want to be helped, explain your issue with more details and less of these words:
1 omg
2 ****
3 worst phone ever
4 other personal comments.
If your phone lags as you say, and you are on gingerbread, you should do more research.
Want a tip?
Everytime the phone lags, random reboots or you have other problems or issues- simply Odin your phone and you won =)

do a factory reset 3 times and clear caches 3 times. i would say just a bad flash. my phone runs super fast and smooth.

Look i didnt want to be rude or anything im just having a hard time with this phone. And ive done eveything i know to fix it, Odin stock 2.2.1 , stock 2.3.4 and stock2.3.6 and valhalla and octane via cwm. But i dont know what it is that everytime im done installing my apps and games the phone acts up. I have the link2sd running i have the fota fix i have the battery calibrate and like i said the kj1 kernel and the adrenaline shot v12. i dont know whats wrong is it an app? a game? I really dont know and another thing is whats the best rom for this device and should i leave it like it is or shliud i install other things with it. Thats really my question.

Try the version XIX of the shot. I got better results than with version 12.

From a clean install I have been on Valhalla... but until the latest universal adrenaline it did not seem the way I thought it should. Now my phone flies.
I'd be willing to bet your issues stem from a bad app causing an issue... have you researched that at all?
I would also encourage installing QuickPic and freezing the stock gallery... it is a CPU HOG!! QuickPic is liter and has a ton more options. I'm not affiliated... just noticed the stock gallery at times could take 50-60% of the CPU, even when I was not using it. F that.
Also, the newest Valhalla will be built off the newest OFFICIAL gingerbread... and we have source now for GB... so, things are on the up and up. Hold on to the phone for a bit.

I've noticed (at least for me) that restoring data through titanium gives me force close issues sometimes.

Hiya.
I think that if you start a thread with I hate my phone, you should expect more than flaming. It would be better that if you did your research and didn't found what you want. Then how about starting your post with something more detailed or, what you did to your phone in steps, to see if someone could help you in better way. Also I've seen a lot in this forum from people demanding, using every gibberish word that they could find, and SO they still get helped.
There're still few good fellas out there that love to help no matter what words you use.
My 2 cents

This perfectly summarizes your original post in this thread. You'd get more help if you made a post actually asking for help, instead of just bashing the phone. There are many of us here that have zero lag, and very smooth running apps.
everytime im done installing my apps and games the phone acts up.

There are a couple of things that can cause this. but some more info is needed about your phone.

I believe your problem is that you are using the Link2sd app. It has been my experience that it does not play well with Gingerbread. It has given me problems when I link to my external SDcard.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but the last I heard Link2sd doesn't work properly on Gingerbread regarding EXT4 on the external SDcard?

Do you have your voodoo enabled?
Just asking..

So i should get rid of the link2sd app?? and what about using another kernel like kj1 and the adrenaline shot XIX?? and yes the voodoo is enable. Anothet thing if i just use the fota fix apk to get more internal memory. Can i install most of my apps?? right now i have like 25 apps besides the stock ones

I've been using Link2Sd for about 2 weeks now on both Valhalla and Octane, and I have not had any problems at all. I just let it move the Apps automatically and then I use the Create Link feature and it does the rest. I have 92 Apps and I still have around 250mb of space left.

Try again
I don't get the flame, either. You're having problems with your phone and came looking for advice (I assume). This is my sixth phone and I like the SGS4G quite a bit. I suggest you flash again with the stock KD1, then flash the Samsung released 2.3.6. There is an Odin-friendly tar on another thread in Q&A that was started today or yesterday. Should be easy to find. (I also that on my Win7 machine I can retrieve the tarball from the download cache completed through kies mini and use that.) NO overclocking I get quadrant scores in the 17-1900 range. The scrolling between panes is smooth, my wifi is good at home (personal security) and in my office (enterprise security). I have a bit under 80 contacts, I do e-mail, messaging, facebook, maps, browsing, market browsing, music player, ... angry birds and a couple other games for giggles. I have been pretty impressed.

I would still start as close to "scratch" as possible, clear cache, factory reset, load KD1, let it sit and does its thing a bit (5-10 minutes?). Load the oem gingerbread release and again let it do its thing a bit. Before you load your first app, run the stock ones, like the crappy browser and see what kind of performnace you're seeing. Init wifi and see how that performs. Put it through its paces as a stock device. If you have really bad performance on a "pristine" device, maybe you got a bad device. I have come to expect a certain number of brand new workstations I roll out at work to be clunkers. Maybe you ogt one. Anyway, if it performs okay as a stock device, load you apps one at a time and pause to test the effects of the new install.
Good luck!

i hear you. i've hated it after one day. it was hard for me coming from htc (n1, hd2) to sgs4g. it doesn't feel solid hardware-software marriage. and it is strange bcz you'd expect more from samsung.
in the end it's a subjective feeling, so don't expect crowd of support. everyone has his own experience.

[ROM]Kang_Clam(KANG) CM7 to AOSP revert {2.3.7}

First and foremost...Anything you read or flash from here I am not responsible for. If your kitten dies tomorrow or your phone eats your face in your sleep it is not my problem. You should have fed them better. If your phone adjusts itself to paperweight mode, well it was a long time coming for that rock to give up. It is not my fault. You shouldn't have dug the root out from under that rock.
I named this project Kang Clam, simply because to me it is a learning experience so everything is just opening up to me. A clam opens slowly in unfamiliar territory and that is the same as what is going for me. I am still trying to figure it out.
I am by no means a developer. This is just a project I started as a learning experience. The main reason I started this is because there is no way to make an AOSP rom off of the OTA files we where given from LG and NVIDIA. So I decided for a learning curve to work from known working CM7.2 files back to AOSP.
Updates will not be fast nor steady, because like I said I am still learning. I will continue to better the rom but at my own pace. Accept that or do not flash it and do not ***** if there is a problem. BUT if you do find a problem I do not mention please report it so I can trouble shoot it.
So, I decided to make a project similar to faux's but I don't know much. So I decided to reverse engineer cm7 code to revert it to AOSP. Progress will be slow because I am doing this for the simple fact of learning. But, what I have done so far is really stable so I decided to release it.
I will not accept requests simply because what i am doing is for my benefit and to learn. So basically this is my rom for me to update as I will. My sole intentions is to revert cm7 code back to aosp or as close as i can get it. The only reason I am releasing it is because, I myself like AOSP and everything that comes with it. And because I want to learn the just of what it takes to make it work. I do realize that most of what it takes to work comes with patches from Code Aurora Forums and numerous other places. And will remove most CM functions.
But, regardless this is my own personal project to revert things back to AOSP. I will work off of the same base as I have been using, because everything is working. If something gets broken then I will imply the patches necessary to fix it.
I fully intend to remove alot of cm7 functions. Including theme chooser, cm settings and many other cm7 features. Simply because i am learning and want to see if i can make it work without all that. I want to revert cm7 to AOSP so that is what I push towards, if it gets removed and you dont like it then flash an old version or flash cm7!
This does not include ANY google apps so you must flash the latest version of google apps the same as you would do with any CyanogenMod ROM!
But as of right now most of all of the cm7 features are still working.
What I have done so far:
Reverted System UI to AOSP
Reverted MOST apps to AOSP
Added Fugu Tweaks 4.0
Added some build.prop and init.d tweaks
Incorporated Morfic's latest and greatest T15 kernel
And a few other framework and system tweaks and reverts. I am no pro so bare with me. Updates will be slow, if you dont like it then move on to another rom...
Installation Instructions:
1.) Reboot into CWM Recovery
2.) Wipe data/factory reset
3.) Go to advanced>Wipe dalvik cache
4.) Go to mounts and format /system
5.) Install the desired ROM
6.) Reboot to enable WiFi
7.) Reboot to recovery and install gapps.
THERE IS NO GOOGLE APPS INSTALLED IN THIS ROM YOU MUST INSTALL GAPPS LIKE ANY CM7 [email protected]
There is add-ons. That I will be posting as well, for those who may want them. If I revert, I will also try to make an add on package to make things work, if I cant then oh well. Everything comes as is.
Thanks and credits to:
Morfic for his amazing kernel
Romanbb and Whitehawkx for everything I have learned and that they have helped me with in my times of distress
Faux123 for his original work of this project. I use it as a base.
The entire CyanogenMod team for their work

I will post a flashable of the ics transition animations in the morning. As well as the systemui reverts. The aosp systemui panel that krylon360 posted WILL work with this, BUT if you connect usb it WILL force close systemui. Im trying to figure out why still....its a known issue.

I had wondered about that myself. Since i do not get 3g anywheres on any rom for my g2x. Only 4g thats still super slow (same speeds as using edge). Could be my area because their signal sucks around here. It seems like it treats all hspa as 4g icon wise. But not sure. I will look into more in the morning.

I personally think this ROM is much better than Eagleblood (HDMI works fine so far). However, cache partition should increase from 50MB to 100MB to avoid frustration (I got "insufficient storage" error when I tried to install 3 Angry Birds plus Opera Mobile and I have to use Root Explorer to delete these files there). Other than that, it works pretty well.

Awesome ROM. Found one bug. In CyanogenMod Settings, Interface Status bar tweeks doesn't work. Even after you make changes like battery percentage, it doesnt save the changes.

[Discussion]GB, How many?

How many of you guys are still using a GB ROM?
Ive played around with a few ICS ROMs but my phone and I are not ready to make the switch.
I'm running Oxygen 2.3.1 latest Franco build for GB, stock CPU settings.
Single screen launcher. I just love it and how fluid it is and how everything corectly works.
Maybe once OTA and source is out Ill consider the switch.

I tried to go back to stock after playing with a few ICS roms but I came back to aosp's oICS rom because the experience is so much better in ICS in my opinion. The keyboard alone is worth the switch to me.
GB was a great update, though, and if you're happy with your setup I can totally understand why you would stick with it.

Agreed. The ICS experience is just so much better regardless of the lag here and there.
Noteable things over Gingerbread:
- Better Keyboard (In terms of autocorrect)
- New Speech to Text input!
- Better Email/Gmail apps
- Better Messaging App
- Better Calendar Widget
- Consistent UI through the Google Apps
- Sweet launcher (no need to look for a custom launcher ...)
- Browser uses a tiling rendering method rather than rending the whole page at once. Browsing is faster on ICS than GB ...
- And the list continues ...
GB is fast but I have to do a lot of tweaking, new keyboards, new launchers, apps etc. But on ICS, I am almost happy with everything as is.
The only thing I miss are the power widgets from CM7 ... I know the Kangs have a few of them, but not the ones I want.

Me. Will use ICS when all the functions work properly and aren't using dodgy patches. And the battery life and performance will be similar. Until then, my customized GB setup is just perfect.

I'm still running the stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM on my I9020T. I have no interest in all these hack crackerjack Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs. I'm perfectly happy to wait for Google to release the official ROM.

My Opinion
- I don't like stock keyboards over swype.
- I never use speech to text as I type faster.
- I do agree on gmail I love the new gmail application.
- GoSMS ftfw
- Never use calendar's; don't care about time.
- I do like consistent UI but I hate the appearence of this one. I've had to metamorph the hell out of it.
- I still use custom launchers as they have more features. One thing I really hate about ice cream is the 'Multitasking'. I hated it in honeycomb and I hate it here.
- I prefer Miren.
Ice cream is a great update. When the lag is gone and there is more tweaking and modifying that can be done, CM9 w/ theme chooser, I'll definitely return to it.

Forget about it... switched back to GB for the week I was in Hawaii to get 4g that was it. v26 of aosp's ICS is great on my battery life and the small lag I can live with used to it on some GB roms too. Some nuisances with ICS but not enough to go back to GB... it's still alpha so I can't complain. alpha builds of any rom are buggy, but I use ICS as a daily driver... patiently waiting til OTA to fix all the current errors.

ics is awesome, but a stock one is what i need

I have used all the ICS roms out there, they are all really great, hats off to the devs. But i am waiting for the ota for tjat polished feel of ICS.
I know the current ics roms are smooth, but not as much as i like. Coz maybe they dont have the kernel of ics rite now, so guess i ll wait for the ota

No. I don't believe in doing a low level format every flash. Particularly when you flash as often as me. After a reboot everything has been running well.

Video recording isn't working due to the lack of drivers. We don't have GPU-accelerated Media playback, so we can't watch certain videos or record them with the camcorder.

How would you compare AOSP with CSM version
Hey everyone,
Just curious how you'd compare the performance and battery life between the AOSP and CSM (I'm assuming CM9) Eaglesblood version?
I'm using the CSM version build 3 right now and I love it. However, it's a little bit buggy here and there (e.g., a few random restarts), and after a few days of usage is a little laggy. Has anyone compared performance between the two?
Also, my battery life has dropped significantly from the 2.3.7 Eaglesblood version I formerly had on my G2x, and I'm wondering if it's worth flashing the AOSP version instead of the CSM to regain it.
And since the AOSP version is based on stock ICS, is it still as customizable as the CSM version?
Thanks a lot guys...sorry if these are newbish questions, but I'm still relatively a newb...I'm trying to learn though, and I love the work you developers work hard to produce!

You should flash it. You won't be dissapointed.

Do any of you guys have the problem of auto-brightness not working on EB ICS AOSP? Mine seems to just go straight to 100% when I put it on auto. Any help would be appreciated

Partially true... by stock flash its at 100%. Dont use that Auto Brightness slider... that thing is buggy with the proximity/photo sensor hardware on p999 especially with ics since theres all kinds of additional gamma/flicker settings.
=>Instead, use the built-in Notification Drawer Power Widget and set your buttons to include Brightness. At the very bottom of that same list select the Brightness Modes to 25/50/75/100. Now when you tap the brightness widget it will cycle through those stages and adjust the screen + homekeys. 'Dim' is ok for pitch black bedtime stories... but itll leave you thinking your phone is OFF with any kind of sunlight nearby.

Depends on what you do with your phone. The 2.3.7 is off CM9 source. Battery life is fine for me for EB's AOSP. I actually think this runs quicker than the other ICS roms I've tried by far, but many of the features don't work. If you depend on things like camcorder and a good camera, or dislike the random FC, switch to 2.3.7 and probably wait for Build 2. I can get ~30 hours of light use before a charge, and something like half that for medium usage. But my battery's been funky the day I got it.
The only qualm I have is that my battery readings seem to fluctuate up and down randomly and charging %s are generally not correct in comparison to the Weapon G2x nandroid I switch back and forth from.
Opera Mobil, as I depend on sometimes, doesn't work, but it's a solid ROM thus far for DD. But I don't do much with it.

Its a script that when installed in CWM will low level format your phone in prep for a new rom. There is a thread in the Developer section.

two issues
I've been running this ROM since Sunday. Things I've noticed are..
...Phone reboots during calls when battery gets to about 30%
...Problems switching back to 4g after leaving WiFi area
...i've had several apps that crash or take long time to open up. But not a major issue compared to the 1st two issues.

I figured it out. When you enable it it will be 100%, but then I just locked then unlocked and it works fine. kinda funky haha

wait what 2.3.7 is CM9?? lol CM7!
everything else I agree, ICS roms are too play with for a couple days until you really need the phone!

Lol, you got me! Don't know how I typoed so badly. Sorry 2.3.7 is indeed CM7. I was thinking ICS when typing as I was flashing EB's ICS-AOSP.

LCD Density soft brick

FYI to you guys out there trying to change your LCD Density via ro.sf.lcd_density. So far I get a soft brick when setting it to anything other than 320 and the default (I believe was 480 or 420). So far I've tried:
80
160
180
240
When changed to anything else it will constantly crash the "System UI" but will still be functional as long as you're using a different launcher (apex, nova, etc). In my particular case, I hadn't changed the launcher yet so all I saw was a black screen. To get around that I used S Voice by double clicking on the home button from the lock screen to get to the play store and install apex launcher, then from there was able to get back to ROM Toolbox and switch the density back.
Whatever you do, *don't* change your density to 80 ...its nearly impossible to tap anything with the buttons being incredibly small and the phone freezing up every 5 seconds.

You must have eagle eyed vision to see 80DPI. =)

People just LOVE screwing around with stuff without a way to restore the phone right now, don't they? I tell ya, I've just rooted mine, frozen apps, and enjoyed it just the way it is, no hackery involved.... Once I have a way to restore from recovery, you bet your ass I'll be messing with stuff, but not now!

Haha, agreed! And for some reason, I've been getting PMs from people on here who probably shouldn't be messing around with their phones asking me "how did you root your S4?" and "how did you debloat your S4?" like I'm some expert or something, just because I have a fancy signature!
Search and read BEFORE you screw around with stuff! This isn't a toy you just hack the crap out of without any consequences if it doesn't work! Good thing the LCD density adjustment was just a soft brick, but come on folks, let's use a little bit more sense and don't mess with stuff that could brick your phone when we don't have a way to recover - especially not trying new things other people haven't confirmed working on their phones yet, unlike how root has been a couple dozen times....

who's going to confirm they work on our phones or not if no one tries it first? someone's gotta do it
and coming from a GS3 running at 180dpi it's hard to live with only fitting one icon on your screen at a time because of the stock DPI settings

Just my experience but use Apex and set then icon size to like 70 ( I prefer 80) and add more columns and rows! Doesn't affect the status bar and other things but gives the home screens and app drawer the same lower DPI look you may be going for!
Sent from my Galaxy S 4!

thanks for the suggestion, the main thing I'm concerned about is things like the status bar, fonts, spacing, etc. and was just using icons as an example. I can live with 320 for the time being with setting tiny font size and adding more columns and rows, but still would like to drop it down to 205-220 when possible

Would you mind showing a pic of what 320 looks like?

His point wasn't to stop people from trying but to WAIT for a recovery method so if you brick your phone it can be recovered.

Fair enough, in the past when I've changed DPI I haven't run into issues, even though I had followed previous warnings to do a nandroid backup before changing it. Of course that's not entirely a valid excuse, as it's always true that every phone is different and there's always a possibility of something as simple as that wrecking havoc.

If you didn't realize, I didn't come crying here asking how to fix this. I didn't say a word until I managed to come across a fix on my own and figured it may potentially be helpful for others to avoid my mistake (for those that use the search function). Had I not come up with a way to get my phone functioning again I would have just waited out a stock firmware showing up here as I realize it would have been entirely my own fault.

Why not just use the xposed framework app settings mod? Every app can be at its own dpi and it doesnt effect the market at all...

When you say market fix from that thread, you mean steps 2-5 in the first post?
I know many people will say if you don't know how to already you probably shouldn't be doing it, but how did you change the dpi?

Works great! Only tried it on the launcher so far. Is there a way to apply to all? Otherwise gotta go through a bunch of apps. Anyway, thanks for pointing this out. Xposed framework is incredibly robust.

Went into build prop and changed it then I downloaded the zip, extracted the playstore apk, pushed it to system, rebooted, deleted app data, opened playstore, and accepted the popup notification:thumbup:
