since I'm a new member, I don't have permissions to post in the development forum, which is ridiculous ... I get fighting spam, but this is silly, as I'm sure I'm gonna get yelled at for posting my question in general ...
oh well, here goes:
I just installed Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.2 and everything is working great so far, with the exception of two things:
1. the native browser never works, always crashes, but its no biggie I can use Chrome.
2. I cannot set any custom notifications or ringtones as that dialog ALWAYS crashes. so I'm stuck with stock sounds ...
I can't complain, coming from a stock MT4GS Sense UI this is a big change, but still I would like to report these issues to the ROM developer so they can be aware ... but XDA wont let me post there ... so here's hoping he'll see the post here.
which he probably wont...
if anybody's got any tips to solve my problem, that'll be great, otherwise, I'll keep posting my findings until I hit that magical number that will finally let me post into the development forums ...
Well, you're wrong. Nobody is going to yell at you for posting this here. What would have gotten you yelled at is if you started this thread in the development section.

The browser issue is a known issue. As for the rest did you do a full wipe after installing the rom?
sent from a Nokia 3210
Well, aside the situation when memory gets low, browser is fine here. Also sound changin works.
Do u have custom ringtones on your sdcard?
sent from HTC Doubleshot pyroiced
Browser, and sound selection all work fine for me. Try full wipe if you didn't do so earlier. If you already did, try redownloading.
@tbalden - I have custom ringtones/notifications/alarms on my SD card and it doesn't affect the behavior or cause any problems.
I'm not certain I did a full wipe (still new at this) but I'll try again.
Also another problem related to the notifications, now whenever a new notification starts, it never stops, and they overlap so after a few emails, its a crazy mix of sounds playing all at once.
quite annoying.
Just to be certain, how do I do a full wipe?
in recovery:
1 factory reset/wipe data
2 wipe cache
3 wipe dalvik cache
Full wipe worked.
Notifications now work, gonna play around and see what else, if anything, is broken.
Thanks.
I had problems with sending text messages. Auto-complete didn't work. I'd have to know the phone number. Similarly, in gmail, I tried emailing my friend Jean... i started typing "Jea".. several choices showed up, but none that I recognized (from some really old emails perhaps).

Another bug I found was with the power down button. I held the power button down, and selected reboot, then changed my mind so I cancelled it. Tried again, but selected power off. It prompted me to reboot instead, hit ok; the phone rebooted instead of powering off.

Contact name autocomplete seems to work based on phone numbers, but not people names. So, if I was to type in a phone number, it will find it in my address book.

The Power off reboot issue is a UI problem. When you power off, it says reboot. But its powering off, I've never had a power off reboot issues. Try wiping cache, might helps.

Pretty stable now after the full wipe.
However I'm still having a number of issues still with crashing apps and ui dialogs ...
But before I start posting all the individual issues I'm having, I was wondering if there is a way to monitor/view the syslog?
I'm clueless when it comes to android dev, but I've got enough linux and software development under my belt to figure what went wrong.
I did a number of searches but nothing came up other than hooking the device up to computer and looking at the logs there, I was hoping for something like an app so I can view these problems on the fly.

If apps are crashing from restored backup, you might want to do a fresh install, otherwise you need to find out if they are compatible with ICS

I just tried to power off, it prompted me to power off (not reboot), I confirmed, and it shut down completely.
I started it back up, Selected Reboot, then cancel. Selected Power Off, and it prompts me to Reboot, which I confirmed, and it restarted instead of shutting down.
I just did this twice. Does not seems like just a UI issue. It recalls the fact that I first selected Reboot. Does not do the opposite. So, if I first selected Power Off, cancel, then Reboot, it will reboot correctly.
I'm never going back to android 2. Here's a few other small things I found in 1.1.2:
There are 2 different Gallery apps installed. On purpose?
Under Manage Apps, I found several apps I can't access anywhere, maybe they're not apps, but here they are: Bubbles, Black Hole, Phase Beam.
Sim Toolkit won't run. It say "SIM Toolkit is not ready or unsupported".
Street View is installed, but Maps is not.

Any way to configure my contact list to display a dial button next to contact names?
The battery drained overnight because I forgot to plug it in. I got it charging now, however, when i turn it on, com.android.phone keeps crashing every 2 seconds.
Wiped cache and dalvik cache.. no effect. From Manage Apps, I cleared data for the Contacts app. It stopped... I rebooted.. it's back.

I'm running SlimBean 2.5. Every time I reboot or power off/on the phone, I get the message
"Activating...
Activation can take a few minutes"
If I press the Home button, the screen goes away and I get the normal home screen. Everything works fine at this point...so I'm not sure what it's doing "activating".
It's not a big deal, but it's an annoyance.
Any way to fix?
I had the same problem and I gave up SlimBean. If you check your phone status you'll see that you lost your no. and the MIN. No big deal though. Is it not only SlimBean but any AOSP/CM10/AOKP ROMs in certain conditions.
Are you by any chance in roaming?

Thanks for the info. Do you know if there are any Jelly Bean ROMS for the Verizon Galaxy S3 that don't have this problem?
I'm not roaming...just normal reception in NYC. Are there any adverse side effects to this that you know of? Or is there any way to fix?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
P.S. If you gave up SlimBean, what are you using now?
I'm having this issue with SlimBean 2.5 as well as AOKP JB4. I am in a major city with 4G coverage and I rarely see less than 4 bars at work (where I'm currently flashing).
Any ideas anyone?
Issues like this are why I won't be trying any AOPS rom's. The risk is too high and I don't want to spend time fixing IMEI. Never had any problems like this flashing rom's on my Evo.
I'm not sure if this is what fixed my issue or not. I simply formatted /system before flashing and have yet to see the activation screen. Though I haven't been using the phone quite as much as prior flashes, it has gone FAR longer without seeing the activation screen...just over an hour.
FYI: I installed AOKP JB4 this time. I'll be flashing the latest SlimBean ROM shortly and updating the post afterward.
OK, I installed SB and...unfortunately, I got the Activating popup.
So, I was thinking (I like to think). The first time I installed JB I clicked Start right away and it asked me for WiFi info during initial setup. I found out that it was doing that because it didn't have a data connection at the time I clicked "Start". So, I now wait for the radio to connect to the tower (i.e., the meter turns blue and shows 4g) before clicking start. This fixed that snag, so I thought...what if that activation app also needs the same connection to work, but it's not written well enough to handle this situation? I.e., it stores some flag that tells it failed the last time through and doesn't reset.
This is what I normally do:
cwm: factory reset, wipe /system, wipe dalvik cache, install sb & addons.
os: initial setup, change DPI to 320
<reboot 1>
os: use titanium backup to restore ID
<reboot 2>
os: use titanium to restore apps, etc
So this time, after reboot 1, instead of eagerly jumping in and setting up the phone, I did not unlock the phone until the data connection was made.
And...no more activation popup. I rebooted a few times and it's been going for 15+ minutes. I'll update if I see the activation popup again.
I know it sounds crazy...but see if it works for you and let us know!
---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------
So I was thinking some more. I wondered if the activation popup always shows up if there is no signal. So this time I rebooted and unlocked straight away. I went to the app store, no connection. I hit the home button and...activation!
I rebooted again, but this time I waited for a data connection before unlocking...I did the same things as before. No activation popup!
Any ideas?
I'm going to flash AOKP JB4 and see if I can reproduce this.
---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------
I could not get the Activation popup in AOKP JB 4. One thing I noticed is that AOKP connects to the network MUCH faster than SB. I know I was getting the Activation popup in AOKP JB 3, so maybe they updated something? Perhaps the order of apps at startup?
Well, I'm sticking with AOKP JB 4 for now. If you ever get SB to work without the popup PM me, please!
You are sort of on to something there. on first boot always wait for data, go through the setup, then you can reboot and what-not. I havent seen a activation screen in a LONG time, and I am SlimBean maintainer for our device, so you can imagine how many times I flash this GS3

Yeah, I've seen your name all over the place I can absolutely imagine how many flashes you've done.
I can pretty well reproduce the activation screen issue with SB on my device on any boot. All I have to do is unlock the screen the second it's available. It only seems to happen on boot, and I don't do that very often, so I guess that's not a big deal.
I restored to a stock backup last night because AOKP wouldn't connect to my head unit via BT. I'll install SB today and give it a whirl.
Some more info.
I installed SB and waited for signal before setup. It worked fine. I rebooted a few times and, for the most part, waited until after the data connection was made before unlocking. I assumed it had already activated and was done since I didn't see the Activating screen. Unforatuntely, I just rebooted again and I unlocked immediately...and got the activation screen.
That wasn't a big deal, I figured I'd reboot and it would go away. Nope! When I rebooted it immediately went to activating...no unlock was necessary. After this point I tried playing around to see if I could find some rhyme/reason to it. Unfortunately I couldn't. The first 4 reboots produced the Activating screen no matter what I tried. Then for some unknown reason it stopped...4 reboots worked fine, no matter when I unlocked.
I am a little concerned about the length of time it takes to get a data connection. It may be just my device (hardware hiccups happen!) but it seems that it takes SB 2.6 twice as long as AOKP JB 4 to make a data connection. If that was figured out then we might not have to worry about this at all.
FYI - I'm a developer. I got my professional start on SunOS using C back in 1994 and used Unix exclusively until 2003. So I'm VERY comfortable with Unix. That being said, I'd gladly lend my expertise in troubleshooting this, if you so desire.
Hell, if you could hook me up with some links to good DIY ROM compilation instructions I'd probably go as far as putting in my own debugging code to figure out what's triggering that screen. I've been interested in getting into Android development anyway and this would be one hell of a way to start!

Well, the Activating screen is back again. This is getting frustrating.

Update 11-18-2012, using Verison S3.I am getting the "activating" message as soon as I install gapps-jb. Actually, as soon as I setup my google account. That tells me there is something wrong with the gapps. It goes away as soon as I hit the home button. I hope it get fixed soon. That's what is stopping me to use it everyday.
After going back and forward thru flashing all CM based Roms, I decide to nail the cause of this annoying message at startup. The problem always happened after installing the latest gapps 20121212-signed file and previous ones. The app that needs to be dissabled is "Setup Wizard.apk". For some reason this app runs at every startup,causing the "activating" message to pop up. The fix is: go to "manage apps" > All > Setup Wizard and click "dissable". End of the story.

Hi Dhiru,
As a "new" user I'm not allowed to post on development forums so I'll left my logs to you here.
Since two or three nightlies ago I'm facing random wifi blocks, it simply doesn't activate. The problem resist reboot, cache and dalvik wipe and also one clean install. Another problem facing in the last nightly (20140710) is a few crashes of launcher and camera app simply not opening. Logs are attached. I'll read more about them to do better logs and simplify your good job with the rom. Thank you.

Hi again,
this morning after rebooting wi-fi works but camera not. In other hand I was able to use internet but the update failed and also the source forge download using the phone. Now I'm running 20140712 with no camera and no wi-fi. There are attached log from 20140710 (or maybe 20140711 I'm not sure) working wifi and 20140712 with no camera and no wifi.
Regards.
Camera working again in 20140715 but too less ram.

Hi, i've got 140mb ram free after using the zRam advice in this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762873&page=15
Encryption Issue
one of the major issues in Nameless is the impossibility to encrypt the device, to be more precise, when i tap "encrypt device" appears the droid logo but nothing more happens (it should immediately reboot and show a percentage of progress). if i press the back (return) button it return to settings but status bar disappears, the only way to make it come back is to hold center button and remove encryption from backgroud process.
I'd like to know where is the problem
I experimented a reboot in while opening whatsapp in 20140718. Here is the log.
I swapped off the zRam but it still not going smooth. Thank you Articadrake for the advice. I had the same issue as you trying to encrypt when I was using CM11. Then I didn't try again. I think this is a feature of the rom, the same as screen recording but incompatible in a not powerful device as Galaxy SCL is.
I hope they read it also and being useful.

With today nightly, camera zoom fx freezes the phone and make camera (in any app) unusable and the system became unstable such as, passw lock screen freezes after typing the code and goes back to lock screen.... So you type again and freezes.... Till you reboot phone.
With last nightly every time phone entered deep sleep mode, it become impossibile to wake up, tried every button, tried shakung (sometimes worked in the past) now only thing was to remove battery. I had installed "screen off" app to tap and switch off screen without pressing power button. Uninstalled and went back to nandroid backup of 18/7. Everything works fine now, no more problems, only some random 15sec freezes but acceptable
just received an update today for my verizon note 5. so far ive only noticed a change in the gallery app. thoughts??? are you going to update?
Honestly I don't like the newer gallery.
I never use the built-in gallery unless it's to interact with just taken pictures before using another app to organize them competently.
Is that the only change besides a newer security patch? The update isn't out yet for the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant app yet, which is the only way an MVNO user can get these incremental security updates.
I've noticed the wallpapers have been changed, disabling theme store and theme setting does not keep paid/trial themes set, I also noticed a Google option in the settings menu, but it could have been there for awhile, and animations seem smoother for me
Looks like the update is finally available on the Software Upgrade Assistant application. Will update and report back anything I can add to this discussion.
EDIT: Installing the update now, will be doing a factory reset and fresh install to eliminate any issues since I use PackageDisabler Pro.
EDIT 2: Can't really find any differences besides maybe the gallery, which I wasn't all that familiar with initially anyways. Phone seems the same animations/speed wise. Security patch is at August 1. Still has the same bouts of random lag with Chrome tab-switching, and long pressing the home screen and apps in the app drawer can bring visual choppiness to the UI still. Phone does seem to run better without disabling any apps though, CPU usage seems light with the bloatware that is installed from the get-go.
EDIT 3: Battery life is definitely improved. Have 2.5 hours SOT with 1.5 of that Star Wars Heroes and just now hit 50%.
Updated yesterday, been running about 26 hours! Animations are noticeably smoother! Battery life seems better also!
Unplugged the phone at midnight when fully charged, looked at 4am, 99%. Very nice, used to lose roughly 1% an hour.
Any official release notes mention improvements to standby battery drain on this update?
Anyone having issues making and receiving calls or sending messages after the update.... not sure what's up but after taking the update my phone function will randomly not work and then sometimes will. Very frustrating...

Haven't run into any of those issues, maybe a clean install would help if you haven't already wiped system cache or the Phone/Messaging app cache.

Is it safe it update
The reason why I say this is because I'm so concern about the battery life on my phone. The main question is: Does this update improve the battery life or does it make the the battery life worse ??
I get better battery life on the new update, but if you do decide to update, I would recommend doing a factory reset after taking it. That or flash if with ODIN. I would bet that most of the niggling issues people are having are upgrade related. Also if you do anything involving debloating/package disabling outside of the disable function built into TouchWiz/Android do a fresh install.

Hello,
I have just updated today to new version of firmware.
After the update all I can see when the phone restarts is "System UI has stopped".
Only other thing that works properly is always on display and partly edge screen.
The phone works only if I set dpi to over 390, under 390 it is always displaying that System UI has stopped and I can see only black screen.
Does anyone have any idea how can I fix this issue so I can set my DPI back to more useable value?
I already disabled the extra dot in the nav bar in settings. I am not sure what else is new and may be causing that.
Also problem with system ui has stopped
I get the problem when i go landscape in any app. System ui has stopped.....
Happens after software update that i got a few days ago...

Factory reset didnt fix it for me but if i were you id try that first.
Short of that (and what I did) was flash the previous firmware version in odin to fix it..

Try this: going into Settings -> Display -> Navigation bar and just change the Button layout. It worked in my case, or at least so far.
I enabled the top option for the navbar that gives you the option to hide it and it seems to have fixed it for me.
Edit: Between this and switching the button positions the problem has gone away completely no matter what settings I use.
Had it installed, had to factory reset. sucks.

How did you uninstall substratum (and it's addons)? The same thing has happened to my Note 8, but I can't uninstall anything because of the black screen and system ui error.

Did you figure out how to solve this issue? There are many people affected by this same error. I also have substratum installed, so it's likely causing my issue. The problem is that I can't find how to uninstall it because of the black screen. Any suggestions, besides factory reset? C'mon....be our "superhero" and bail us out! :fingers-crossed:

How did you uninstall substratum (and it's addons)? The same thing has happened to my Note 8, but I can't uninstall anything because of the black screen and system ui error. By the way, thank you for posting that substratum was causing your issue. Without that knowledge I would still be scratching my head.

Hello,
I have just updated today to new version of firmware.
After the update all I can see when the phone restarts is "System UI has stopped".
Only other thing that works properly is always on display and partly edge screen.
The phone works only if I set dpi to over 390, under 390 it is always displaying that System UI has stopped and I can see only black screen.
Does anyone have any idea how can I fix this issue so I can set my DPI back to more useable value?
I already disabled the extra dot in the nav bar in settings. I am not sure what else is new and may be causing that.

How were you able to change the DPI?
