[Q] Screen issue on 4.2 roms

Ok so i installed CM10.1 and i noticed that there is someting like an invsible line 1cm above the buttons..... it can be really annoying. I can only see it in games or when i scroll up/down in portrait mode.looks like it would reload everytinhg scrolling through there, dont even know how to explain. I tried to enable the 3 options for screen tearing("disable hw overlays , force gpu rendering etc) but it doesent slove anything. Same goes for AOKP 4.2.2. With 4.1 roms everyting is fine.Anyone knows what the problem could be ?

You might wanna make a backup of CM10.1 and flash another ROM to see if the problem persists. I've ran about 6 different 4.2 ROMs and haven't seen this.
Worst case scenario is that it's your screen...

[Q] Heavy Stutters with every rom and kernel

So my Galaxy s3 all of a sudden started to have stutters, i have a custom rom Foxhound 2.3, and when i try any custom kernel it lags as hell. (Stock also gives stutters so its not kernel related i think)
For example perseus stutters my phone in app drawer and every time i open an application.
Syah 1.8.9. although its better, still have some stutters...
the only one that can have the phone more stable is the stock one. I dont really mind having the stock kernel its just that it makes the phone more stable but it still stutters when opening apps and in the app drawer.
Its weird because in applications i have no problems, and when im playing games is all good to.. even the more heavy intensive ones. Also my boot and shutdown animation stutter or jitters a little bit.. a thing that dint happened.
Also the benchmarks are good as always +/- 16000 on antutu, no changes... so i don't really understand whats happening...
Steps so far:
-Tested other custom roms including CM10.1 Nightly
-Tested various kernel.
-Flashed stock rom with odin
Every time with megawipe. always...

[Q] Sentinel ROM-i9100-Poweramp issues

Hi there, this is my first post on XDA. :good:
First of all I want to say thank you to Sentinel196 for his work. The Sentinel ROM is very good for battery life.
I can't post on the ROM thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268064), my issue is:
I'm using PowerAmp player and while streaming the audio happens that starts to lag (already tried to set the priority of poweramp on maximum and the audio cache bigger than normal); then the UI is totally not working even not turning on the screen with the power button. I only have to take off the battery and restart.
Once happened also that I had to re-flash (after having that issue) the rom after a full wipe (and backup from recovery was impossible to restore) because the boot was on the "samsung galaxy s II" logo all the time.
I have no idea, I used PowerAmp with HTC HD2 ICS and with samsung i9100 stock and CM10.1. Never had any similar issue apart with this rom.
Thank you

It may be something to do with the way the ROM is compiled (using Linaro toolchain). Unfortunately as a developer, it's impossible to offer support for every single app out there.
It may be worth trying a different kernel. If you say you aren't having problems with stock CM nightlies, maybe flash the kernel out of the latest nightly. It should work with my ROM, but you may loose a bit of performance due to the lack of linaro optimizations.
Sorry I can't really offer more help from a developer perspective. Maybe someone else has some suggestions.

A Perfect Sweet ROM
Dear AntiBillOS,
Thank you for your rom.
After using Carbon A3 over a week with satisfaction I did a dirty flash with your rom.
Everything is functioning well and good. AV playing and recording is nice and smooth.
Wifi, network, file transfer is also smooth. Overall no lag, fast and very responsive, a good battery life with a well organized settings giving a perfect sweet test.
I uninstalled the default launcher Trebuchet and installed Launcher8 for its simplicity. Uninstalled few google things that are not for me. I went to recovery and clear cache and delvik.and reboot. After showing Samsung logo, a blank screen appeared and it hung there. Pulling battery out and in and power on few times managed to boot. Again in a planned reboot it hung after showing Samsung logo.
Hope you will share your ROM with us in the coming future and make us happy.
Regards.

Cannot reboot the phone. Is it only a problem of mine?

Power button is working fine here. Try Rebooter app to reboot. Probably you need to reflash. If stuck after Samsung logo, pull the battery out. Press power button. Insert battery and power on.

guys, does the video recording work very fine in this build?
(I have serious issues with vrecording in cm10.2 by dhiru, not just in playback, but also the recorded video looks kinda buggy))

Even after a clean flash the problem's still there: to reboot the phone I have to shut down and then power on. If I try to reboot it gives me a black screen.
But this is a minor issue.
What about the 3g net? I noticed that in dhiru's cm 10.2 a3 it often disconnects, but the 3g icon is still there even with phone not reaching the 3g signal. Is this problem solved here?

Video rec/ply 480-720 is fine here.

Yo, dev! Are you even alive?

Good rom.
3rd time I install it from fresh ddlf2.
3g problem seems solved, with the other kernel it showed 3g icon even if not connected.
Reboot problem still persists, I have to pull-off battery to get the reboot.

wow good news for our sl

Antutu 3D Testing problem
Dear AntiBillOS,
Your rom is doing a NON STOP FLIGHT. Good performer.
Antutu benchmark sometimes cashes when doing 3D tests. It crashes in the middle or at the end of the 3D test.
Providing Alogcat logs - don't know it will help you or not.
Will be pleased if you provide only the kernel.
Thanks a ton.

I cannot use this rom. I'm very sad because the 3g issue is fixed here, BUT after a 1st reboot made taking off battery, I'm not capable of rebooting the phone again, even after wiping cache and dalvik. I always get a black illuminated screen after Samsung logo.

In cwm format system and flash again. After flashing, select power off. Take out-in battery. Now use power button to start. After samsung logo wait for 15 sec if the circle is not shown do the battery thing again. Keep trying...
This kernel can boot into recovery but hang into reboot.

im kinda confused, so im sorry for this noob question.
but this is another alternative rom right of cm 10.2? would i be still beable to flash other roms on top of it like the normal one?

Yes. Same as other cm 10.2. As the dev says - not a new ROM.

after the samsung logo it shows the most unresponsive black screen i've ever seen.

Going from MaximusHD to CM12.1

I just want to let you know I finally made the ROM jump from MaximusHD to CyanogenMod 12.1 and it went superb!
Before starting this I thought I would be busy the whole evening (or more than one) so I prepared for the worst. I still use this phone on a daily basis. I got another HTC oldy as a backup just in case. My HTC One S isn't recognized on my PCs anymore since jumping in the swimming pool with it last summer so I had an extra handicap not being able to upload from PC to device.
I updated TWRP to the latest. Cleared storage. Rebooted in MaximusHD again ignoring the setup wizard as much as possible. Once booted I opened the web browser and downloaded the CM12.1 05DEC Unofficial ROM and TK GApps mini directly to my device. (All links available in the specific thread here on XDA) Booted in recovery again and flashed CM12.1 and TK GApps. All my apps and settings were uploaded/installed when the device booted CM12.1.
After boot all I had to do is change my Mobile 3G APN setting.
After one hour of work I couldn't believe it went so quick! And easy! The experience of CM12.1 on this 3 year old phone is unbelievable. I thought I would experience more lag and slow responses but... none of that. I can't notice any difference in speed comparing with the MaximusHD ROM.
I hope this stimulates others to make the update.

I've been tempted by the idea of jumping the MaximusHD rom ship for a while too. Are you happy with the camera performance? One of the reasons I'm reluctant to go the non-Sense rom way is the lack of the full hardware access to the camera on those roms.

I just jumped the ship three days ago. I didn't use the camera besides taking 3 pictures for test purposes. I'm a long time Camera ZOOM FX user so the app installed itself again. I replaced the CM12 camera app in the drawer with it.
I need more user experience time with the camera to tell you it lacks in any way.
What, besides performance (speed) issues, will affect the camera not being able to have full hardware access?

A couple of things I remember were missing from non-Sense camera apps are the ability to shoot slow motion video (lower res but higher fps) and the HDR mode for photos.
Not that these two produced any usable results though .
I believe the other parameters like photo/video resolution are adjustable with the stock CM camera and ZOOM FX apps, right?

I can't find slow motion video. I never saw it in the MaximusHD ROM either. ZOOM FX cam does have the HDR option, just like with MaximusHD. But seriously, it's nothing more than a gimmick. Do you ever use it?

With stock CM camera I don't see these options. This cam app is really minimal. Some say you need to set resolution by entering the hamburger menu upper-left but I don't have the menu. App version is 2.0.002.
With ZOOM FX Premium all resolutions settings are there.

When booting my phone this morning I noticed that there is still one MaximusHD ROM leftover. I guess it's not really part of the ROM. It's the boot screen. The first screen you see when cold booting your phone. It's a screen with HTC logo and the development warning text in red underneath it. Can I easily get rid of it?

It's not part of the ROM, it's rather a part of the bootloader itself. You can change it by flashing a modified bootloader version:

Just read the thread on how to do that and find the one that fits your HBOOT version.

Coming from MaximusHD my hboot is at version 2.16... I don't see any download for that.

I've been using 20151223 UNOFFICIAL for some time now without the camera/flashlight issue. I've been using the camera more than once during the holidays.
Only trouble I have is getting cellular (3G) back online after flight modus. It's not possible. I have to restart the device every time. Anybody else experiencing this?

No, working great here on 2015-12-23 Unofficial HBOOT 2.16 from Flyer. When going out of plane mode, it takes around 15 seconds to get H icon (for HSDPA, 3G if you prefer). It may be a problem with the SIM card or advanced operator settings.
