Nice rom but I found it to be a bit slow, was I buggin out?

I actually downloaded this rom (I have the Nexus S for AT&T) last night and i'm about to wipe device and flash a new one. The app drawer takes forever to load and it seems like a pretty consistent problem. I have rebooted and done a battery pull and still same issue. Also the theme comes with a custom lockscreen and I have yet to see an option to disable or change it so that I may use widgetlocker. As of right now I have widgetlocker and I have to unlock 2xs along with password which is a pain.
I will say that it is pretty zippy in all aspects. The internet loads very quickly. The apps switch very quickly. When composing text messages the keyboard responds very quicky. The messages send very quickly. However the app drawer not loading is what seals the deal for me. I came from MIUI the latest build is 1.8.26 and had the previous 2 builds before that and I had an issue of my service dropping in and out until I did a reboot. I searched around and there were a handful of others that had the same problem. I love the rom and the ability for customizations however I need my device functioning over beauty.
If others have downloaded this rom, I would love to hear feedback on thier experience on it.

Have you tried v2? It's only recently been released.
It looks and feels great BUT I can't get my wifi to work.
The devs site says the ROM doesn't include radio so I assume this is why my wifi isnt working? I have I9020 and based in UK and KD1 and KB3 don't make the wifi work. Does anyone have any ideas how I can enable wifi?
Thanks

To get your wifi working try downloading a different kernel. The kernel controls the wireless module in the phone. You may want to download a few so if your phone doesn't boot up with one kernel you can also do a battery pull then reboot back into clockwork recovery and try a different kernel. Try a netarchy Cfs 2.3.4 aosp or universal kernel or a matrix kernel. The netatchy cfs 2.3.4 aosp kernel will probably work best. This is in the genexus toolbox on the market for free to download and then you just have to flash through clockwork.

[Q] Serendipity VII Infuse questions

As I am a noob and have fewer than 10 posts ill post my question here and hopefully get some feedback.
I did a clean install of Serendipity VII, about 10hours ago and I love it but with one fault.
The captivate version of this rom had the power button camera, but the infuse version has a new skinned camera(which I like) but the power button has the same functionality as a stock infuse.
Is my experience unique or is there a reason the camera mod has been left off this build?
Thank you for this great rom

It's the SGS II camera app.
I shall look into the power button mod for this camera.

Chat with (I think) lemons on IRC. I believe he's the one that did the initial camera hacks for Froyo.

Sorry to change the topic at hand but I also have a small question and didn't want to clog up the forums with a new thread. I tried installing the Samsung email apk from the website and it would not install. Any reason or is there something I am doing wrong?
Also...is there a way to make the lockscreen light up whenever you receive a text message with this ROM?

If you use GoSMS Pro (don't worry, it's free) there is an option to make the screen light up upon receiving a text.
You can set it to even automatically unlock the screen if that's something you want.
As for stock messaging, no idea. Sorry.

thanks, i flashed the infused kernel and then the serendipity ROM. is that the correct order? however, i noticed while serendipity was flashing it said "flashing kernel". so, do i need to reflash the infused kernel? first time doing this and it is a lot easier than expected

MIKEY.......ok question
i have ran infuse 2.0.x on up. gingerReal Darky's and a few others.....and when im on the net playing videos(not utube) they play on the screen just by clicking them.
after changing over to SerendipityVII the videos i could play i can no longer play. i have to download them to get them to play. is there a browser setting so just something different about your rom??
kind of liked just being able to click on a video and play it right there on the screen.

Serendipity is overwriting the kernel - so flash it then flash the GB kernel of your choice. Infusion-GB has overclock and undervolt but is missing a few important fixes (bedwa will be pulling them in soon though), my daily driver has UV but no OC but has most important fixes integrated (I'll be posting an update for that soon) and some experimental battery charging stuff, Hellraiser beta6 has a fairly mature kernel with all of the important fixes in it and a few I/O schedulers and clock governors not in Infusion or my DD kernels yet. IMO Hellraiser kernels are your best choice right now and I believe S7 comes with LB's latest Hellraiser kernel.

Why is this not in Q&A???

Is there a way to remove the sgs2 camera app? I'm curious because I enjoyed the continuous shot function the infuse camera had, the sgs2 camera app doesn't have it.

Good day.
I have 2 issues after installing this rom. First one, I can't receive phone calls. I can make them and also send and receive sms but not the phone calls. It rings once (sometimes it never rings or does nothing) and then I notice that the signals goes completely out and I have to wait a few seconds until I get the signal back. Second issue, when I press the power button I get the menu but when I press on RECOVERY the Infuse just reboots and never goes to Recovery mode.
Please help me with these 2 issues. I'm a total noob although I have read a lot.
Thanks in advance!

Bad flash most likely. Especially if you can't enter Recovery.
Use SGS Kernel Flasher to flash a known-good kernel (such as my Daily Driver or Infusion), then enter Recovery. Reflash S7, and make sure to Wipe Data/Factory Reset after flashing. Also redownload S7 via your PC prior to flashing - your ZIP was probably mis-downloaded.

Flickering screen

Hey guys so I've got a huge issue. I'm on now my 3rd SGSIII and I'm getting very annoyed. My screen goes nuts randomly. I think I've found a fix, but I'm not sure what's causing it, as most people don't show the symptoms. My screen starts flashing and flickering, whether it's the lockscreen, the homescreens, within an app or in the app menu it does the same thing. I haven't taken a video of it yet, but will if someone wants to see what's happening. I've had it happen only on JB, both roms and stock doesn't seem to matter. The 'fix' is the same one as AOSP rom users use, which is to disable hardware overlay, however I don't know why a non-AOSP rom would need to deal with this. The roms I've used are: Vengeance, CleanRom, Synergy and The Executioner. I've gotten so annoyed that I've gotten Verizon to allow me to switch to the DNA if I want. I've taken a few Logcat's, if someone who can decipher them more than I can to figure out what's actually wrong would be great! I've taken a bunch of logcats, but only have one posted to pastebin. It was taken whilst I was having the issues. Thanks for the help guys!

Nope, I don't run that stuff because all of the rendering updates and stuff can get annoying to look at while working. I'm able to get the same issues on a fully stock rom, and a pure flashed rom, with a few programs installed. But the fact that the hardware render seems to be the issue to me is just very odd on a non-AOSP rom.

I have been having screen flickering issues ever since I flashed the latest AOKP build (AOSP) I originally thought that it was because of the kernal and the under voting that I applied but even with a different governor and normal volt settings the screen still flickeres. After some poking around I figured you that it is only happening while I am trying to type and by uninstalling the Swype beta keyboard the screen flicker had been reduced to almost nothing. I do not know why the keyboard would amplify the effect but if I use the system keyboard the flickering becomes almost non existent.
Also, the screen flickers anytime a pop up menu is on screen, such as in the tapatalk app, the menu that pops up to allow you to quote someone..

Had been having the same issue on Baked Bean 6, flashed BB7 last night and it seems the problem is gone. BB7 being 4.2.1 I'm guessing whether intentional or not somewhere along the process of updating the "bug" if it indeed was as it appeared was squashed.
I'd be curious to know what was causing this, if by chance you find a definitive answer please post it.
Thanks

I had a very similar issue for a while, i flashed LEAN KERNEL
Rebooted twice, and problem went away.

For an update, I flashed kt's latest kernal and the flashing has ceased.

[Q] PA 3.60 Phone Calls Not Working

I downloaded the new PA 3.60 6/11 build from notta yesterday with KT747 Kernel and RErick universal setup. After using for a while, without attempting to call, I was more than happy. At work today I called my girlfriend and in the middle of our conversation the call dropped. Ever since then whenever I try to make a call I get a "com.android.phone has stopped" message or it will connect, close phone screen but keep call in status bar, show that same message, then drop the call. Sometimes it says "Mobile network not found" after trying to call then will reload my bars after. Can't receive calls either but my network shows I have bars and every IMEI & numbers alike are there. Restored nandroid and calls worked.
Thought it might be kernel combo so tried to wipe everything and reinstall but problem persisted. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks in advance!

Try the latest paranoid android gapps, i had that problem a few times but after i flashed those the problem stopped. And what's Rerick setup?

I've flashed the 6/10 gapps both times I flashed the ROM, unfortunately. Maybe bad download? I don't know at this point.
Its RErick's from Team Kernelizers setup for the KT747 kernel. Can find him on the TK Mod thread. Great battery life supposedly but didn't get to try it for too long since calls didn't work.

I was running the latest pa with their gapps and calling was fine for about a day then I got the phone crashing every time I tried to make a call and couldn't receive any.
Did nothing different. I didn't try to fix it or anything, I just restored my tw backup.
Unfortunately, I've been running tw mostly these past few months. Occasionally I try out aosp, be it cm or another iteration, but go back due to the annoying deal breaking glitches. I've pretty much given up on running anything other than bone stock on this phone. Not sure if it's just my phone or what, but anything else always has obnoxious bugs that never seem to get squashed.
Shame, too. The developers do great work. Probably just my particular phone as plenty of others seem to run with zero problems.
Stock bloated tw with nova for me. Even the debloated roms run wonky on my phone after a couple days. Always full, clean wipe.

The same things HaS been happening to me with alot of asop ROMs. Only way to fix is not use custom kernel and the roam setting have something to do with it. It sucks cause I like the asop ROMs . Its been doing to me for two weeks just wonder if they have changed anything with these ROMs cause it don't matter if its cm PA AOKP or unofficial versions of these I just can run them anymore

Since I've been having so much trouble with any rom I haven't used a custom kernel since my thunderbolt days. I run whatever kernel the rom comes packaged with.
But like I said, it's probably my phone. It has defective bluetooth that I didn't figure out until well after I purchased the phone. It's got constant loud crackling and popping on stock (ironically, non existent on aosp roms). I doubt that's related but just illustrates the weird differences between phones.

Had the same problem less than an hour ago when i really needed to make a phonecall. Had to restore to my backup i made before flashing PA. Hell of a time for it to stop working.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Well after first believing it was just my phone, after reading these comments as well as the PA thread I've come to the assumption that its something with the ROM and how it behaves with the phone app. Hopefully the details will get resolved soon cause I was really enjoying the new PA. Until then, sticking with hyperdrive.
Thanks guys.

had this problem since upgrading to the 6/11 build.
i could make calls out as long as i didnt press the ok button to dismiss the process stopped message.
i could not receive calls hwoever. it does ring like it should, but it does not allow me to answer.
using latest gapps package.

I've had this problem on both 6/12 and 6/14, using the 6/10 gapps.
Any chance anyone has come up with some way to resolve this?

for ppl with this problem, i moved to pacman to get all my newest PA features setup with pie, expanded desktop and halo.
not having htis problem on there.

Good suggestion. Really liked PACman for a while, but eventually my call got dropped and I ran into the exact same issue from that point on. At this point I've just decided to go with a TW based rom. With hyperdrive you can still have pie and download Floating Notifications app that is practically the same thing as halo but also has themes available too.
Until that bug can be fixed, going to stick with Hyperdrive. Sweet rom anyway.

Flash speed

Has anyone else noticed that the flash is really slow on 4.4.2? I used flash alerts pro since 4.4 and on 4.4 I could set the flash to blink 6 times or more in under a second. Now on 4.4.2 its more like 2-3 times. I am currently running Liquid Smooth and its the same. I tested with the torch app and no change. Anyone know why?

Could be where the torch app was merged from. The torch app on Carbon ROM is very fast, no lag/stutter what so ever. On other ROMs however, I have noticed the latent period from the click activity and the actual flash coming on. If you check the repo where the torch was merged from, that's probably why. Many use CM yet lately, is had issues. See if any differences between the ROMs and that'll probably answer why so lagged flash.

See that's the thing. Its not just the torch app. Its every app that has a strobe setting. Its like the flash can't flash fast enough. Maybe something is different in the kernel that changed the flash rate. It worked fine on stock 4.4, but not on stock 4.4.2. Weird........

The torch app is the cause, it's been reported a lot. With a faulty torch app, as I've read across many boards, the flash "happens to early in camera" or "not working" or "laggy". The flash rate, in your case, is probably due to this as well. With new merged torch from either CM or other sources lately, there has been A LOT of reports against it working/misfunction. What I can say is, try flash another ROM that works (could try Carbon ROM) and test the flash/strobing effects. If it works on that ROM, then it's the liquid smooth ROM/torch. If not, then it's the phone. But I looked into liquid smooth before but lately, they've had problems, one being the torch app.

I see what you're saying, flash is slower. The reason, being on custom ROM and that the updates to Kitkat have been battery drain and camera issues are probably causing you the issue. The update to 4.4.2 probably caused the problem because of upgrades to camera/torch files. As before, if test another ROM quick and see if issue persist. If so, then it's 4.4.2 and, if not, then it was ROM related. Only reasons and change.
