Thanks for the work on this ROM . Its probably the most fun I've had with one, since you can easily mod the colors and stuff. Anyway the only problem I have is the WiFi signal and battery won't accept the color changes, but the clock will. Also the analog clock won't work, keeps throwing up a message saying it has stopped working. I know these are very minor but pro lens none the less. Thanks again.

colors and clock working fine here. Possible dirty flash. Try rebooting and clearing caches and reinstalling

Thank you for this ROM, love all of the customization options. Flashed it this morning, and haven't run into any problems at all. As mentioned in the previous post, the battery/signal aren't accepting color changes for me either, but its not big deal at all. Great job, thanks for your contribution!
BTW, will the lightning zap kernel work with this ROM?

Problem with calls after using a headset
First i want to say I love this rom, seems to me to be the most stable jb rom i've tried. The only problem I seem to have is when I listen to audio (music, audio books) on headphones and a call comes in. When i unplug the headphones to answer the call I can't hear the other end and they can't hear me. The only way to fix it is to reboot the phone. Is anyone else having this problem?

If I am not mistaken when you have headphones in and unplug them it turns sound off. you need to go to the dialer and hit the sound button. Or just answer the call with the headphones in. Let me know if that works for you

Experienced a SOD/reboot during a phone call today. 1st time I've experienced a problem while using this ROM. Had to hold the power button for 10 secs on lieu of a battery pull. Has this happened to anyone else?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

This ROM works excellent for me. I might have the SOD maybe twice a day, but it's not bad considering I flashed CM9>CM10>AOKP without wiping data. I use this ROM as a daily driver with mods.

This is my daily driver to and I absolutely LOVE it. I was just wondering b/c up to this point probs whatsoever. Since there isn't a q&a for this ROM I had no way of knowing if it was an isolated thing with me. Definitely not a deal breaker tho

I've always loved AOKP. I especially love the Unicorn Porn. Lol. The customization is so epic.! But one question.. Is there a way to enabled CRT-Off animation.? Or does this not include it.?

What do I think is, Your phone got hung while doing this. Check out what application you have installed recently & remove that.

It happens while using simple apps like touchwiz launcher ( stock)
Is there any way of knowing that its not a hardware problm?? Should I switch to some other rom to check this?
It is really irritating
Who wants to restart his device every now n then

Just clear the data of launcher, if problem persist do this->
1) Clear data of previous launcher.
2) Clear default from previous launcher.
3) wipe cache & dalvik cache.
3) Download any latest launcher, like apex or next launcher beta.
4) select the latest launcher by default launcher.
5) Restart.
Hope it will solve your problem.

I meant it happens any time during simple procedure of home screen scrolling or during some apps like messaging or during call
Still I will change the launcher and report back

This is bug of hongkong stock fw. I have also faced it. Device freezes sometimes and only notification drawer comes down for one time and when you send it up u will see small line of bottom of notification drawer at status bar. And phone will totally freeze. You will have to reboot.
Its not hw problem at all its just a fw bug. Just change to any other ROM of ur choice or if u want more fun change to CM10 or PAC ROM.

Has adam left the further development of cm10??
And I really dun bother about official or unofficial cm10.... Imo galaxy r is still powerful than most of the devices released till date...even my own xperia u.. Released a year later after sgr
To b on point
Will v get a stable cm10 wid everything working??
M nt demanding just asking...
Sent from my ST25i using Tapatalk 2

Maybe possible this bug is present in other fws also.
There is no CM9 available for our device. But there are many other ROMs available.
If you want ICS based ROMs u can go for MIUI, angeeks, mazel etc.
There are JB ROMs available also like CM10, PAC, AOKP but they have some minor bugs.

Viper one s Rom

Ive got a little issue on my viper one s Rom that I realised today. After my phone wakes up from sleep I drag the camera icon into the lockscreen ring but the camera doesn't open. It stays blank until I press the power button. Is this normal on this Rom because it doesn't happen on my stock Rom?

I am using the kernal that came with the rom (The entire rom is completely untouched from when I started running it, aside from the usual google apps and a few personal apps, but nothing that caused issues with cm10).

OK. I am uploading a new build with md5. Will post links later when I get back to my hotel room.

I have noticed something I find a little weird.
Media server is taking lots of CPU and keeping my phone awake even though the screen is off with not many apps running, I limit background apps to 4. Media server goes crazy when I reboot my phone and randomly through the day even with minimal use.I have seen this behavior with slimbean as well. The pics from BBS is after a reboot I turned the screen off for 20 mins then took screenies. I'll take more screenshots after a full cycle. Or If you want to take a look at the battery stats. Logcat provided as well.

Well I flash ac!d audio over all my ROMs and the sound is louder I'd say. But this media server problem persists even If i dont flash ac!d.
Anyone know what media server is exactly I've looked on Google and lots of people are having the same problem some explain media server differently than others so I'm a little confused as to what it really is/does.

Another issue...the phone app says its uninstalled when I click it for both last build and your new Jan 30 build? I can receive calls and call people through my contacts but the phone app is gone from the app drawer and when I click the shortcut on home it just says app is uninstalled. What?

Works fine here. Phone.apk is in the rom and installs when flashed. sounds like a bad flash or something. Looking into the media server issue

Do you have an md5 for the latest build? And would a dirty flash (only dalvik cache wipe) be alright, coming from the 1/26 build?

Just an update... Have a new build I am working on with all the new changes that cyanogen made. Now using the audio and display caf variants.. Build runs but is very sluggish with same issues as before. No data, camera, mms and such.. will follow cyanogen's commits and some of the other forums that are working on this too. Mainly jeffakajeff in the t989 forum and the roger_n in the I727 forums..

I'm using it and everything is running fine. getting on average 17-22 hours battery life with moderate use

Has anyone had trouble with tethering on this rom? I am unable to tether via wifi, bluetooth, and usb connection. I'm running the lightning zap kernel, fwiw.

The built in WiFi tether worked fine on the stock kernel when I used it. I didn't use it with Zap.

Post #2

Mine as well...
As usual, I'm only tested on Sprint - but should work on GSM as well.
I found BT is broken - looking into it, I assume something is missing.
Edit -- seems after flashing gapps and rebooting, BT turns on....
Edit 2 -- kb backlight issue seems an issue, it's always on (when the screen is on)
The DPI also seems "off"... at least everything is really tiny. But it's fast!
Enjoy!

It's just that Slim (and many other teams) like lower DPIs in their build.prop... But seriously I don't get it, it makes all the beauty of AOSP look out of place.
