Sweet Chiid Of Mine Q&A Thread

In an effort to keep SCOMs dev thread clean and streamlined please post all of your questions here.
Thanks

No luck with your suggestion hechoen. Running GR again (even though I did that before this flash) and will reflash. Checked the MD5 and that's good.

im still experiencing lagging with scrolling. i did gremlin remover then flashed ROM and it was smooth, but when i rebooted the phone, it started lagging with scroling again. if i do a factory reset from CWM, do i have to reflash the ROM or just reboot after the do the factory reset?

native
Just reboot. I'm running into some issues as well. It seems to only happen after I power down and reboot. Very odd. So factory resest from CWM, reboot and play with the phone. Don't restore any apps yet. If it seems smooth reboot the phone. Let me know whether the lag reappears after the second reboot.

i already restored the apps at the beginning with TB and it was smooth, but after the reboot, it started lagging with scrolling again.

That's what worked for me. One other thing that I think has worked for some on other ROMs with this issue is to turn on bluetooth and while it's doing it's thing reboot the phone. If that doesn't work get a log to erikmm and he'll let you know what else to try.

Tried that before posting my Q in the SCOM thread. Tried a myriad of combinations also. It used to be a problem for a lot of people at one time. It never occurred with vb final fixed or unnamed. If this next go doesn't work, I'll get a log.

I'm having the same thing happen. After second reboot laggy and super unresponsive. If someone else running this wants to reboot and see if they pick up lag as well it would be appreciated. If no one else is having this issue it has to be one of the apps that we are restoring causing it. I'm still trying to figure it out myself.

hechoen said:
Where do you get this stuff? I've reset from inside the OS on plenty of occasions and never had anything bad happen. My next suggestion to native if this doesn't work was gonna be to factory reset it from inside the phone.

Every phone I have had the devs state to never do a factory reset from the setting menu. My last phone there was many people with broken phones because they used the privacy menu reset. I dunno I just prefer not to waste 300bucks wiping data improperly. I also would hate to see somebody post doing it broke their phone.
If you can safely wipe data from the privacy menu then I stand corrected.

I just tried bluetooth with wifi on and it hung on turning on. Rebooted and it worked. Both wifi and bluetooth. Now if I can figure out why restoring and rebooting is causing lag I'll be really happy.

just had my first reboot and its lagging again. the reboot happened by itself

What method are you using to restore?
When I updated to unamed v2 I had three reboots after restoring some apps. I wiped reflashed and installed them one at a time until it rebooted. Then removed that app and continued. No reboots. So I wiped ran gremlin remover. Flashed again installed the offending app. No reboots. I installed the app prior to the offending one and bam reboot. Come to find out the issue was created by a update to the two apps not properly updating. I did a fresh install from the market and have had no problems.

Anybody having issues with little to no volume in calls? I have tried data/factory reset from cwm and also fixed permissions.
FYI, I just flashed the rom again to see if that will fix it. soaking in now.

OK so here's what I've come up with to fix the lag issue for me. Flashed the rc2 kernel and lag is gone. I've rebooted a number of times to make sure this is the case and every time quad runs at full FPS. I've restored all my apps with TB and have this running perfectly smooth. So a guess would be something with the new kernel or SuperSU. Again this is a guess. But if you want to run SCOM V3 lag free and have TB restore all your stuff for now reflash the RC2 kernel.
EDIT: Scratch that theory. Lag is back. I should have never doubted are kernel devs. For those of you getting logs that use ADB here's a great guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378491
This may work in terminal emulator as well. I'm short on time today so I'm going to reflash and not reboot anymore! Just hang in there and it will get figured out.

Thanks for the info on the Kernel being the possible culprit.

Sorry about all the problems guys but im running v3 no lag but im checking on it still
for bluetooth issue raver just told me to try turn bluetooth on and reboot phone

Not sure why, and I don't care why, but both bt and wifi are working concurrently for me after the 3.5 flash. The bt device doesn't connect unless i go into bluetooth setting and press the paired device, which is fine. Thanks erik!
Edit: Device connects like usual now. Guess I didn't wait long enough.

v3.5 installed
Downloaded and installed v3.5 on my phone last night. All functions seem normal and working great. I have OC'd to 1.3 and have no issues with battery temp.
If I may, Erik has been especially patient and extremely helpful. I did have an issue with a previous version of SCOM and he was readily available and willing to help out. It is very comforting to know that as some great dev's leave the SGS4G community some other good/great dev's are coming in to fill the void. Erik, I appreciate your hard work and your ROM reflects your passion and hard work. You ROCK!

After a horrific 15 hour period of pulling my hair out, I finally got my phone out of a hardbrick apparently initiated by installing Sweet Child O Mine v3.5. Here's how I got there:
1. When flashing SCOM v3 (following OP precisely), the phone randomly rebooted (around 90% of Aroma installation).
2. When attempting to flash again, Aroma Installer gave a warning saying it did not recognize my phone as a SGS4G. I clicked the checkbox and installed anyway. ROM worked.
3. When trying to upgrade to SCOM v3.5 late last night, I wiped all data and flashed. Got the same warning as before. This time, didn't install.
4. Tried using Gremlin 1-Click before attempting again... Kept getting stuck on factoryfs.rfs. Had to pull the battery multiple times to try to get it to work, but eventually it caught.
5. Tried flashing SCOM v3.5 again... crapped out before Aroma Installer could finish. I started again, got the unrecognized device warning again.
6. Went back to Gremlin 1-Click again... this time, could not get it to catch! Phone was stuck in softbrick.
7. After multiple attempts, decided to try Heimdall 1-Click, to no avail. Checked off "flash bootloaders" and after 3rd attempt, phone went hardbrick (screen wouldn't turn on no matter what I did).
Stayed up until 5 am trying to fix it, but put it aside to work on it again today. Here's how I finally fixed it:
1. Found RaverX3X's 1-Click somewhere on the forums... removed CWM and put me back on Samsung Utils
2. Downloaded all the files from FB's GB Ext4 starter pack page.
3. Managed to get the phone to yellow triangle by: Pulling and replacing battery->Holding Vol + and Vol - ->Inserting USB
4. Ran Odin as Admin, but had to use a different cable and port to get computer to see the phone
5. Finally back on stock KJ6.
Hopefully all that info above will help someone in trouble like I was.
Now I have a new problem: I want to flash SCOM v3.5 again, but I'm afraid of getting soft/hard-bricked again!
To be honest, I dislike the color scheme and the mismatched icon set in SCOM, but it has two things going for it:
1. Smooth as butter (surprisingly, smoother than RaverX3X's VB final for me)
2. Battery life when NOT using phone is amazing (left the phone for a few hours yesterday, didn't move a single percent). The battery drains fairly quickly when phone is in use, however.
So, how do I instally SCOM v3.5 without falling into the same problems? Or, alternately, what other ROM is comparable in terms of smoothness and idle battery life?

I will try it out, as soon as i get my Z2 tablet back from repair...untill then galaxy tab is my daily runner...(running strong on your CM12.1 rom btw). Thanks again.

PThanks a lot man you're a legend your work is incredible... But there's something went wrong with me... After i flashed the rom successfully with twrp i clicked reboot system and twrp asked me (no os installed, are you sure you wish to reboot ) and when i rebooted the device it stuck on the white samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus logo... I waited around 12 mins but nothing happend... So i returned to omni rom 5.1.1

Your internal storage is probably corrupted.
1. If you can access the sdcard in TWRP, backup your data first.
2. See if you can format the system partition in TWRP.
If yes, do a factory reset and flash ROM again.
If no, you need the PIT file.
You didn't mention your model. You might need the particular PIT file to repartition.
If someone have the PIT for tab-plus, please post it. Otherwise, you have to flash the oldest HC3.2 ROM with Odin first, then TWRP and ROM again.
Next time, don't forget the detail
Good luck!

What version of TWRP? Are you in old version or wrong version? Latest is 2.8.7.1.
Sometimes we easily overlook something. A photo worth a thousand word. I would say you must have missing or overlook something.
Flashing is straight forward, nothing special. With what you provided, I don't think I can help. Sorry.

Dump the log of TWRP might have more info.
It might be a bad download of Rom. Test if you can open it and see the content. Or better check the md5 for the file.
If the md5 checksum is correct, try flashing rom only without gapps first.
Good luck

I may be asking too much, but is there any chance that you include p6210 in testing as well?

Dear Daniel,
Thanks for this great job of yours.
I reported my P6200 issue, i already do the instruction without any error.
But with a result:
1. SIM Card undetected
2. Back camera will have a green line in the left
3. Baseband version in About Tablet is "Unknown"
Is any solution?
Big Thanks.

I've checked your log. It might require a rebuild. Just be patient and wait for the next build.
I was thinking to release CM next but Omni is much more stable. I'll release the latest Omni first. It'll be ready in a few days.
I just checked the Gapps (Delta 1114-1) too. Some default permissions are OFF which cause Setup Wizard to crash. I went to Settings via QS turning them ON and everything seems fine now. It is quite slow via VPN but I can setup google accounts and downloading with Play. No problem with Youtube too.
Gapps service occasionally crash. It happens since they were pulling from other device (Nexus 6, I think) with different resolution.
In that case, I might consider making my own Gapps later.
P.S. If possible, don't use Google drive. I can't access it directly. Just attach the text file (or zipped) in the post would be better.

Thanks again very much for the quick response. I'll be patient and wait for the next build. You are doing such a great work!:victory:
PS: I did not realize that I also can upload txt files here (thought it was for pictures only ).

Rebooting problem

I have a Galaxy s7 930f, it always rebooting every day or second day one time, I made a original firmware install with odin, but it did not help me.
Anybody has a advice.
I tried it with original apps, I did not install any other apps.
It rooted but it is does not matter, it is rebooting with root or without root.
How can I find out what is the problem?

Hi mate
Maybe something went wrong during rooting , did you reflash your stock firmware again (odin)?

Yes I did it, 4 times, 3 different firmware. I mean tried with btu united kingdom , dbt germany , zto brazil, not helped.

when that started to happen? from beginning , after rooting....... do you install any apps after flashing with odin? try flashing with odin and not installing anything else and leave it for a day or two to see how it behaves, just to discard if is app related

I did it, I made a clean install with odin, I did not install any apps, but it is rebooting. So I don't know it is rebooting after rooting, or before, because I was rooting immediately when I got it.

Try flashing stock ROM again with Odin, then factory reset from recovery and don't root. See if you still have problems.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread your first post. I would take it back to Samsung, if it happens on a completely stock phone, something hardware-related may be the culprit.

I did it yesterday, so right now I'm waiting and hope no reboot again.

My stock phone made me mad by rebooting randomly, did a 4-part Odin flash + pit file now. Hope it helps. Before I deleted my accounts from the phone and enabled oem load in developer options. Don't know how to flash a stock Rom any cleaner. Really hoping the damn phone is cured now.

Im experiencing the random reboots and freezes as well but more frequently. Maybe 4 to 8 times a day if phone is used.
On custom, stock, rooted and unrooted. .
Just got the phone 3 days ago ?
Im currently trying out an older firmware but still no luck. Just had another reboot by using android beam.

Phone : Samsung s7 G930F
Android: MM 6.0.1
Common triggers ive seen so far
1. Connecting phone to pc and start a file transfer
2. App update or install
3. File transfer from phone to another phone as in the case of Android beam.
But there is still some other random unexplained occurrences.
Phone freezing up I dont know why it does this or what triggers it.

As I was still suffering from those nasty random freezes Samsung changed the Mainboard on warranty.. Now everything is fine. Monday device

New MM Firmware N915FYXXS1DPG1. Does it solve any known issues?

Hi,
there is a new release of MM 6.01 -firmware available, from July 27th.
Has anyboy checked it? Are any wellknown issues solved (i.e. fingerprint/backup password request, random reboots)?
Thnx for any info.
Chris

I'd also like know what this update is doing. ...

I have installed it via odin yesterday, no wipe, just cleared cache after installation. All settings kept as they were. Up to now very snappy, no reboots, no backup-password-entry requested (only after manual restart, of course). So, if it stays that way it seems that the bugs have been removed. Keep fingers crossed.

I'm just downloading the same firmware....will install later (dirty install) and give my feed back here.....

After a day there was no soft reboot. For me usually in Messages happened when i wrote a new one, until now there was no event
I hope we can forget that finally, i really liked fingerprint until the issue...
edit: i updated via OTA, no wipe etc.

Hi, Can anyone deodex and debloat this stock rom DPG1 please?

Installed N915FYXXUDPE1 (N915FYXXU1DPE1_N915FYOXA1DPD1_N915FYXXU1DPC3_HOME.tar.md5) the phone is noticeably faster and no soft reboots / password requested (unless on hard reboot) much better!
I did a dirty flash then reinstalled custom recovery (TWRP), re-rooted and xposed....

I was on 5.1.1 and flashed dirty via Odin, just wiped cache, and until now no single reboot, night clock is working, very fast response, no lags, no signal drops. Feels like a new phone.

Okay Dirty Flashed N915FYXXS1DPG1_N915FYOXA1DPD1_N915FYXXU1DPC3_HOME.tar (Which I believe is the most recent!)
Wiped cache/Dalvik, re-rooted and Xposed with Nova Launcher.
Did not loose any information or settings (phew)
Certainly faster, no reboots......fingers crossed....also a bit quicker on AnTuTu 68372...
Will keep updated over the next few days

confirmed

i confirm that. Happened only once until now. After a call it soft reboots.
But i can live with that if happens very rarely, in past it was very frequent... Otherwise the phone is really smoother, battery is also better a bit. So i am happy...

But, again, please let us know how you flashed it, cause could make the difference. So, OTA or Odin, wipes, where did you come from?
I am on it since four days now, my phone runs through, no reboots or whatever. I came from 5.1.1 stock, no root. Flashed via Odin, just wiped cache. Feels like a new phone.

I've already did. On page 1 i wrote: OTA with no reset. Only deleted some unnecessary apps and clear cache.

It was going so well..... In 8hrs had one soft reboots (typical as it was when I was driving) ... Phone is definitely faster and runs cooler.....
May be worth noting that I do use lots of features, 5 email accounts (1 exchange), Bluetooth (Various paired devices), stream music via Google play....
I will see if there is any correlation between reboots...

You see, I've been on MM several times, the reboots made the phone unusable. Then I made a full wipe, got back to 5.1.1, and then flashed directly to the new rom. I suspect that coming from an older MM-rom, the buggy ones, and flashing just dirty the new firmware may leave some buggy files unchanged. So when you came from MM and have problems now with the DPG1, it could be helpful to go my way. That was the reason I've asked you where you came from, which wasn't answered. Give it a try.

Okay....Phone did a soft reboot this morning, whilst I was starting the Car, IE it connected to Bluetooth, then as I started the car it soft rebooted.....I am thinking that this issue may be to do with WIFI/BLUETOOTH connection/handover only a thought..

I received an update last night

So I got an update last night on my J7 2016 with MetroPCS. I wanna update it, but I'm rooted and don't wanna screw anything up. Should I take the update, or hold off? Thanks in advance

It is nothing important, as samsung says, overall improvement, what is bothering me is how did you get that update since you are rooted

I also received this update yesterday. I spoke with T-Mobile. They told me it was an update from Google. They also told me that I was one of the few customers out of the thousands to receive it. It was not in their system they had to update it themselves. Still kinda sketchy.

I have no clue. The same thing happened twice when I had my LG G Stylo with the same company. It's kinda weird. I guess I'll just hold off on the update until further notice. Thanks though

It was from one of them though, so I guess I can trust it somewhat, but I don't wanna update it with a risk of screwing this phone up. I guess I can hold off for a bit

Yeah, this update bricked my device. SM-J700T.
Accidentally allowed it when clearing the annoying notification while watching youtube. Failed to flash properly. Somehow flashed a new sboot.img still. Tried to reinitialize with smart switch, but its still only listing apk6, and the update managed to only flash the sboot.img from AQC3, so i cant go back to APK6.
I tried as well with the AP from sammobile, and now have unknown baseband and invalid imei. Well, I'm 6 days away from my jump anyways, but I'd rather stick with this phone a while longer.
Any thoughts or advice? It boots, and it shows apk6 for build.
Hell, If any of you have the update.zip, I might be able to fix it still. I pulled the update from cache I thought, but it seems to be corrupt. Hell, maybe that was the problem? Maybe I can pop the update on sd (if anyone has it and would be willing to share?) and use stock recovery to flash it, and see what happens?
Thanks for any input.
EDIT: I have a friend with the same device, who was unrooted and on the new update. He wanted his rooted anyways, so I installed twrp, and used it to pull a backup of the system image, the radio image, the cache image, and used those to restore my phone. All is good. We're both on the last update, rooted and feelin good.
