[Q] Slim Rom Music Issues and Other Problems - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I downloaded the Slim Rom and when i would go to play my music through headphones i always got some sort of skipping/breaking/stuttering and the issue persisted no matter what music player i was using or what the equalizer was set to (including completely off). I really like the ROM but i cant deal with the music playing issues. I have been playing MP3 files.
While im at it I was also wondering why the battery has been draining (should i flash different modems?) and I was wondering if i can get the stock puzzle lock back or if i could have a lock screen that has some shortcut to any new texts/missed calls like the stock rom.

Try another kernel governor. I had about the same problem with interactive.

Does this completely fix the problem? I think i might have done this in the past but i actually reflashed stock because this issue got to be really annoying along with a few others.
And also do you know of any lockscreens that have notifications on the lockscreen like stock? I hate having to unlock, then pull the notifications drawer and then click on the message to reply in the messaging app.

poweramp full version freezing phone

anyone else having issues with poweramp? works great for a couple weeks, then nothing seems to make it better. i end up flashing a different rom and the problem goes away for a couple weeks. currently running a ported rom. doesnt matter whether i'm on froyo unrooted/stock, rooted, gb port, or gb official release.. cant seem to figure this one out. i've always restored app only, never restore app data. and i have tried removing and installing a fresh version straight from the market..
when this happens it sounds like a cd skipping and the ENTIRE PHONE freezes. it can happen with the screen on while using the phone or with the screen off playing music through the headphone jack. i've tried different voltage settings and profiles, thinking that maybe im UV too much.(but the phone doesnt freeze any other time) when this happens the ONLY way to fix is to pull battery. none of the buttons work, capacitive or external, and the touch screen is completely unresponsive. this is driving me crazy. last night i tried clearing app data and it made no difference. this does not happen with ANY other apps.
ANY IDEAS?!
Did you try emailing the dev?
I've been running PowerAmp with Voodoo on Emancipation for awhile now without any problems. Have you tried any other music player to see if you get the same problem?

i have not used any other music apps, but i can tell you that this is the ONLY app that crashes the phone. the only thing i didnt like about gb custom roms was that my sms app(chomp sms) wouldn't sent messages sometimes at all, and the stock sms app was intermittent.. ported roms were better for me. and everything force closes on froyo.
Anyone else have issues where poweramp won't see the tags for several songs resulting in them not showing up whenever i go to the library? Some of the albums are missing songs and some entire albums don't show. I can see them without issue in other music players and I can see them in power amp if i browse by folder but they don't show up in library.
Never mind, found them under unknown artist and just manually changed them.

4.1.2 update - potential bug introduced in Google Music

i updated this morning and i have barely five hours under my belt with 4.1.2, but i have found quite an annoying bug (i think). i have noticed that while listening to music (whole albums in general), every few songs, the phone will stop playing at the end of one song and it won't continue to the next song unless i actually turn on the screen, at which point it immediately picks up on the next song. and no, it's not at the end of an album or anything like that. also, if i go back and re-listen to that same song, it will generally continue on to the next song instead of stopping.
has anyone else encountered this issue in 4.1.2? i *never* had this issue with 4.1.1, not once, but now it has happened four times in the past hour.
i'm stock and unrooted. if i factory reset, will it revert me back to 4.0.4 or just wipe the slate clean with a fresh 4.1.2? this is enough of an annoyance to me that i would go back to ICS and update the phone only to 4.1.1, if that's possible.
Yeah, I had the same exact problem. Noticed it while playing music in car on the way to work. I ended up just copying my selct couple of songs to the SD card and just use the stock music player.
But long story short, I had that same exact problem. Turn on the screen, and the device would play the next track in list.
4.1.2 Latest Clean Rom is the rom Im running. Not sure if the AOSP roms have the same problem or not.
I am on clean ROM and have no such problem... My play music used to stop on stock ICS and JB. But on clean ROM it works great for me.

Just a shot in the dark but are you guys using ds battery saver or anything similar to kill running apps at certain times? I have to turn off ds when running Pandora or it does this. Don't use Google music too often though so Idk if it would do the same to it.
At this point, my phone is just one big tweak.

no, i don't use any sort of battery saver or task killer. i might be reverting back to 4.1.1 shortly. i really don't like the stock samsung music player, plus i have tunes up in the cloud.
That was a bug with Google Music previous update before this current one. Have you updated it lately? Previous fix for me was to uninstall updates and run the stock version that came with the phone but since the update which was last month I have not had any issues.

Happens to me all the time on 4.1.1 Eclipse TW. I believe it's just a bug with the Google Music app...but weird because it never ever happened on my gnex. Maybe the app doesn't like TW?

Music lag on screen press

If I am playing music then every time I press something on my screen (such as an app or an app button - basically any time a press is detected and activates an action) the music will lag/stutter for about a second. Scrolling does not cause lag, nor does pressing hardware buttons (power, volume, home) or the menu/back buttons under the screen. For example, the music will stutter when I open the Gmail app and also when I "click" (press) on an email to open it.
I am currently rooted on the latest rootbox (3.9.1) although this problem has occurred with several other ROMs including AOKP and CM. Also occurs on all music playing apps I've tried (Google music, Android music, etc.). I believe the problem occurs with MP3 files but not FLAC files (although I have not tested this extensively).
I believe this is different from the buffer problem whose solution is to download a music player with the option to increase the buffer size. The problems I am having seem to be different. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

My line of thinking was that since you did not have this problem on stock, it would be probably a AOSP/AOKP/CM Rom issue. I would of likely thought kernel, maybe your phone did not like a certain kernel version 3.0 vs 3.5 or kernel from a certain kernel developer or the scheduler/cpu governor combination. I am uncertain now since you said that only since rooting which I assume you mean you were on stock rom and you just rooted it instead of flashing a different rom with root already included.

I am currently on Rootbox. I flashed several other ROMS including AOKP and CM immediately after unlocking the bootloader and rooting, all which have had this problem. It is probably most definitely a ROM issue but I have found no other information on this specific problem. Would using a different kernel help considering flashing several other ROMS hasn't solved this issue? Not sure if they all used the same/similar kernels. I don't extensively understand the importance of kernels.
Still have yet to find a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated.
i saw in the deviant xone thread that it stops if you disable touch sounds and screen lock sound, it should fix the issue.

[Q] Ready to take the plunge, recommend a ROM? [and give me other tips]

I've been running stock 4.1.2 (rooted) for a while now, and after really slow performance, steadily worsening battery life, and general annoyances like random reboots, Blue Screens, and other annoyances like duplicated incoming SMSs, I figure it's time to take the plunge and install a custom ROM and maybe even a fresh kernel.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to devote to experimenting with all the different ROMs out there for this phone, and was wondering if I were to list out what I usually use the phone for and what apps I run most of the time if it would be possible for people to recommend which one would be a good fit to try as my first.
(I know this'll mean missing out on all the fun of having so many choices, and when I have more time later, I'll see what I can do about exploring the other options.)
I make heavy use of SMS, although often times my messages are laggy to send and receive (I don't know if this is a problem with my phone or T-Mobile). Incoming messages sometimes get repeated multiple times for no apparent reason. My current SMS default is EvolveSMS, but I had similar issues with GOSMS.
I also play Ingress, so any bugginess in the GPS would be a deal breaker.
Voice calling is sometimes problematic as well. When I make outgoing calls, it sometimes take 30 seconds for the phone app to load., With incoming calls, I may get the ringtone, but no screen to accept or reject the call.
I run the xposed framework for a handful of modules (All Notifications Expanded, and Buttered Toast)
I'm using Nova Launcher for my homescreen, because of the ability to set a grid size, use custom icons, overlap icons on top of widgets, and lock the homescreen configuration from accidental changes. A ROM that would do the same things natively without having to run a homescreen replacer would be welcome.
I'm also interested in running on my external SD, Is that something I should set up prior to flashing the new ROM, or can that only be done after the ROM is installed?
Team Apex have done some great work. By now they know the hardware very well, having done the initial dev work back on CM9, all the way up to the current CM11 and now Omnirom systems. Their current efforts are focused on the Omnirom-based Omnitoad project. It's at a point where it works very well. I suggest starting there.
The stock roms and the earlier CM roms all have a bug where the compass reads totally wrong after a reboot until you recalibrate it. This was finally fixed in the CM11-based ROMs. That should help Ingress.

to be fully honest though...i do highly recommend flashing my B14CKB1RD kernel on whatever 4.4 kit kat rom you use if you want best stability and battery life...its been proven that at the end of the day your rom will have alot of batterly life remaining compared to stock....whats good about my kernel is that you control how you want the phone to work...where as with TeamApexQ stock kernels you are locked to that one state and also has an mpdec touchboost enabled that boosts your cpu core to 1134mhz minimum speed when you touch the screen thus rapidly draining your battery... I'm in no way saying the work they have done isnt great....theyve done a hell of a job bringing the device to the stability its at today... it just brings that much more stability outta any rom you use

mpdec and touchboost are two separate concepts. Touchboost boosts the second core to 1134 Mhz when you are using the display in order to make the phone more responsive. Mpdec turns off the second core when not in use and conserves a huge amount of battery. On OmniToad, with the standard kernel on it, I usually get 60 hours + per charge of medium use. I've been using OmniToad continuously, and since the beginning of it, I have not personally had any reboot that was not initiated by myself.
Um dude you do know your touchboost is mpdecision based right?....look at the defconfig...and to be honest my kernel works just as smooth if not smoother than the stock kernel of omni without it...using omni on stock kernel I wald have 40% battery come 11pm my time when unplugged at 7am...on my kernel I'll have anywhere between 65% and 70% with same usage and hours
Sent from my L1QU1D R3L4Y using xda-developers app
One other thing about touchboost, which will hopefully bring us all out of ignorance of it as I am tired of the constant FUD about it. It is the 'touch responsiveness' portion of Google's "Project Butter" initiative. It is a standard Android/AOSP feature enjoyed by Nexus owners since Android 4.1.x.
One more thing. It is a UI deficiency that the performance settings apps show 1134Mhz as min cpu when using touchboost. In kernel mpdec will run the cpus at 384mhz unless something needs more, or the cores will sleep. Now you know the facts. Let's stop spreading misinformation. Thanks.
Not spreading misinformation...my builds and the community have even spoken of the better battery my kernel and ROMs have with it disabled and removed....even flashing my kernel over omni the phone instantly stopped overheating and lost maybe a percent in 2 hours with moderate use.... I just love how as soon as I came to the relay you guys judged me as a noob and all the name calling and what not....it's your teams loss...all my gain...good luck

In my opinion, I try all the roms available for relay right now, the better performance I have was with liquid ROM and blackbird kernel. Omni is smooth but the battery its not the best for my phone with my personal use, and with GPS and plugged to the car charger i got overheating. Carbon got better battery than omni and better customization options but not smoother. Liquid have all you need in a ROM, personalization, full control and with the kernel blackbird and Wheatley and sio configuration have the better performance and battery at all ROM I try

So, I tried OmniToad for a bit. Wasn't really impressed with the compass fix mentioned above, because even after flashing it was still quite ill-behaved in Ingress.
I also couldn't get the External 2 Internal SD Card swap to work -- the storage tab kept reporting my internal as 5 gig and the external as 64gig. This was after trying two different microSDs.
So, because of those two issues, and being not too far along in re installing everything, I decided to flash again, with the Blackbird Kernel and Liquid Smooth.
Now, when I try to boot. it hangs on the screen with the ApexQ green penguin. If I try for recovery mode I'll get the blue text that says booting into recovery, and then it goes to the penguin again. Trying to boot to download mode also just gives me the penguin.
Troubleshooting suggestions? Because right now, I'm without any clue as to what to do next, and without a phone for that matter.
[Edit: Just got into recovery, so going to try flashing back to OmniToad]
[Edit 2, Electric Boogaloo: Back on the Toad for now, Seems to be working. Thoughts on how to get things running on my external SD? Is it maybe an issue with KitKat based roms?]
I'll guide you through it...my roms shouldn't show anything teamapexq related ...what recovery were you using...and have you tried heimdall or ODIN

Recovery is TeamWin, and I was finally able to get back into it. Put OmniToad back on it for the time being. If you wanted to put up a step by step for going from Omni to Liquid, I can give it a try, because at this point, I'm pretty sure it was a "ID Ten T "error.

Did u just say 60+ hours of use??
How?? What do u mean by medium use?? Are you using the stock battery??
That's only possible with screen off with no use in that 60 hours and the phone going into deepsleep...either that or he's using an extended battery....with very minimal use....also proof or it didn't happen

I ended up partitioning my external SD card so I could use Mounts2SD. Seems to be working so far.
Now I just have to get all my stuff put back on this thing and figure out how the extra features of LiquidSmooth are going to fit into my workflows.
One thing that seems to be a minor annoyance, probably because I just haven't found the toggle for it yet: on stock, I used to be able to wake the phone from the home button and the screen would pop on instantly. Under both custom ROMs I've tried, it seems a lot harder to wake the phone. The power button seems to be the only thing that works, and I have to stab at it repeatedly. I almost suspect that I'm waking it up and puttting it back to sleep before the screen comes on, but I can't seem to find anything that consistently works. Like I said, it's probably something I just need to toggle under settings.
The home button's actual switch is in the center of the button, while the design allows the button to tip sideways. So if you press it on a corner instead of the middle, the phone sometimes won't recognize it.

I may have spoken too soon. Getting all sorts of apps stopping on me now. Launcher3, Hangouts, Ingress, Settings...
Also, Launcher3 seems to 'forget' homescreen layouts every so often... some times I'll be going back to blank homescreens, and then after poking around in other apps, the homescreen will be back to the original configuration.
Ingress also acts like it can't see Location Services most of the time.
Also, sometimes when I reboot, it takes up to 20 minutes before the phone's back up and running.
While I can't discount that it was any of the number of apps I've put back on the thing, I'm pretty sure that Mounts2SD is the smoking gun here. these problems didn't start until after I had started using it. The symptoms seem about right.
I'm wondering if there's a conflict between Mounts2SD and the governor/scheduler I'm running (Wheatley/SIO).
I'd rather not have to troubleshoot this, but one of my main goals with starting fresh on this was to be able to store and run apps on my External SD, preferably without having to fuss with it on a per-folder basis. So if anyone has had any success in that department, I'd love to hear some tips that point me in the right direction.
[Edit: Turns out Mounts2SD overrides the governor/scheduler choices anyway. I think, that when I get off work I'm going to start fresh again over my next few days off, and try using Link2SD instead.]

well i use nova launcher.....launcher 3 and google launcher in my opinion isnt the best of launchers...there is other options i mentioned in a pm before to storing apps on sd and is alot easier than fiddling looking for the right app ....what also gives you the assumption it messes with governer or scheduler....i know by default there is settings for sd read ahead write ahead scheduling but that app shouldnt have control in changing any of this

This post from another user in the Mounts2SD thread. They might be mistaken, but either way, my problems started cropping up after I installed that app, and if there's a chance that poster is right about it setting those things, that's just another reason for me to uninstall it.
right now Carbon wins
I've tried them all, Liquid smooth is awesome but the latest built gave me some blackscreen issues until the next built go with carbon if you want some nice features or slim for a nice overall rom.
Don't forget to install the Blackbird kernel for a even better result.
Peace!

Music bug since the update of 5.1.1

Everytime when I turn off my screen while listening with headphones on or off, my music disrupts after a period of 6 seconds.
Now I have tried a various things to fix it, and strangely enough disabling the lock screen (any type of security ) fixes this issue)
Might any of you know a better alternative to make my life easier? I don't want to leave my phone insecured for the sake of listening to music.
Thank you.

Reflash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
Have you (TS) tried the solution provided above? I'm experiencing the bug as well. It's really irritating.
I managed to fix the problem by clearing the system cache. Just boot into odin, clear the cache and restart the phone.

Thanks for the reply. When you mean boot into odin, did you mean recovery? I have done that as well, but it seems that it didn't fix the problem for me.
To add another solution to this bug, I downloaded and flashed the stock ROM for my phone. Apparently, it fixed the bug.
Yes that's what I meant, sorry for the confusion. I might as well do the same. Thanks for the heads up !

Do you have greenify installed and have the music app set to greenify? Also are you using the built in close app feature? The one found in battery stats. If so do you have the app set to auto kill? This feature kills all selected apps after a certain time of the screen being turned off.

I haven't installed Greenify yet on my S6. I had it on my S4, but it wasn't causing any problems at all. I checked the close app feature, and Music app wasn't placed there. The Music app crashes, it doesn't just close; without any warning message or whatever.
Update: I did a factory reset/data wipe via recovery mode, and used Odin to install a fresh 5.1.1. I tried the Music app, and it doesn't crash. I hope it wouldn't crash anymore.

Unfortunately, it did not. To be exact, it fixed the problem for about a week, but the problem appeared again. Try using Power Amp music player, it's working well for me. I'm tempted to buy the full version after this trail version expires. Spending 1$ would be way better than getting annoyed all the time by the default music player.

The problems is i use play music because of the cloud feature, let's hope the Edge+ update fixes the problem, otherwise I'm going back to 5.0.2
