Post the issues found in the Android 4.0.4 (ICS)....

Its real nice to have ICS finally for Galaxy R, But we have found some issues.
List of Issues:
1. MMC_CAP_ERASE is enabled by default (eMMC brick bug).
2. Only Tegra optimized Games are working fine, Other Games are lagging a lot (eg: Temple Run).
3. Pinch to zoom in gallery is lagging.

Hold and drag simply doesn't work. First I thought it was a bug in the TW-launcher, but tried with Apex and the same issue is present. I'm trying to solve this with my kernel.

Isn't that related to android framework only? How can it be related to the kernel?

Wow great news buddy, so you have started working on custom kernel :good:....
All the best man....

everything going smooth
battery even holding more longer much more

Yes its RAM usage causes bit more battery drain. But jus wan to iterate the importance of Factory reset for ICS update. Without a Factory reset, the upgrade may FC of some of apps. Apart it wil cause a lot of battery drain too. So always do a factory reset before this upgrade from GB to ICS (It will clear the older battery stats file). Also, at the initial stages, there will be some battery issues as the system will be building the battery stats file. With few days, the battery will be back to normal.

When pushing the screen 2 seconds in xda app (just to reply or say thanks) the screen gets black and unresponsive.
And my baseband is I9103NELA1,is it ok?

I tried with my kernel that I created approx. a week ago for JB. It doesn't work (as I expected) because of the framebuffer changes. This is just a beta build and Sam releases src's after official release so we've to wait.

NELA1 is the baseband that came with austrian XWLA4. According to Machram's post it should be XXLQ3. That's because you just restored a nandroid backup and not did a regular installation process which is required to change modem (basedand/radio). (you can flash the modem via cwm or Odin separately) Restoring backups doesn't affect modem, bootloader (this can be crucial sometimes) .. not sure about sales code.

I'm happy to share that I encountered the first SOD. That could be because of too much of install uninstallation while charging. Yes, it is eating RAM but battery backup is good as gb.

man from morning i had thrice but its because of high usage i think , i am trying all the apps and thing which i am seeing on XDA.....

Okay, so I noticed that if you enable the motion feature (Samsung's one), then drag&drop works. It's very smooth with TW UX!!! (Will post a CWM-flashable zip in some moments)

How to restore baseband only buddy..
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium

Sorry for reposting it here again but I really need to know ... I leave for a weekend trip tonight and want to be carrying a stable build. These are the issues I am facing.
1. Lockscreen doesn't work at all.
2. The music kept pausing frequency on my way to office (AUX cable). Will try earphones soon.
3. A 2 sec press on power just restarts the phone and doesn't give the option to set the phone on vibrate (maybe a feature)
4. I am still getting the wrong baseband in About phone ( did anyone flash modem.bin. where is it?)
Maybe I was half asleep when I flashed it. Will flash it again once I reach home. But i did wipe dat and cache

Is hardware accelerated video decoding working confirmed in ics ..?
Anyone tested ..?
How to confirm ..?
In mx player i am not able to play 1080p video..
It is saying hw not possible..

http://www.mediafire.com/file/rm3t3813wwxaewd/cm-10-20120826-UNOFFICIAL-sholes.zip
bootloops? ts problems?
did you format system?
try safe kernel (stockish ram/sgx/dsp timings)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0kci9mvja4b9ssn/jb_safe_kernel.zip
or safer kernel (doesn't reprogram core clock at boot, exact stock timings)
http://www.mediafire.com/?do6yfe1c79v7xj7
or safest (same as safer with cpu max at 800mhz instead of 1000)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/926lgj8qu2a8l8s/jb_safest_kernel.zip
still no go?
try ics build here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29471613&postcount=1855
with 160mhz kernel
then wipe everything and try this build again, or enjoy ics :]
if you get stuck without touchscreen don't sbf back to stock

since this is CM10 based would regular cm10 gapps work? Thanks
Edit: It doesn't seem to boot. It gets stuck on the android screen.

about 3m freee in system, so regular jb gapps wont work unless modified to use /data. ics gapps work.
if you have bootloop:
adb shelll and
rm /system/lib/hw/gps.sholes.so
or just delete it from the zip before flashing

Installd ics gapps.
So, got rid of bootloop using adb to remove gps. Boots up fine after that.
CPU overclock settings can not be changed in settings. Works fine in setcpu.
No camera app included.
EDIT: Phone was plugged into usb port on computer entire time, and I noticed that the battery was not charging. Flashed back to my daily driver for now and phone is charging again. Not sure if this is common to anyone else or just a bug for me.

this is filthy! so fast. i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30325746&postcount=1977 nightwing's .zip to get market over adb. wireless also works. mp3's through music load up like it's going to play, but then flashes a screen where song progress is complete and goes back to the artist list, but media server found all my songs. m4a's say file not supported. bluetooth paired with my keyboard and worked. voice dialer worked to open apps and i got a few beeps out of it at the end of commands so some sound is working. mine's not activated though so i can't test radios. donations on the way. thanks for all the hard work.

I used to get that on CM7.1 I think it was a bad flash, It went away when I flashes Steeldroid, and I am definitely not getting it on this build

mediafire virus
After using link at top of page to download from media fire using Windows explorer I got a message saying virus detected on my computer and the page looks exactly like Microsoft security essentials I clicked no and computer crashed!!! This makes 2 times I have gotten virus from media fire last time I was able to restore to an earlier backup this time computer wouldn't let me boot into recovery or anything after much trouble I got it to boot into safe mode only because I have recovery disks that came with PC but have not been able to repair it complelty yet because if I try to restore it ends with an error about system contains some file ( idont remember name) so if I can't figure it out I guess I will backup important files and do a complete restore from factory disks ( last resort ) . Just a warning . If anybody has any answers and or ways to prevent this please PM me. Hopefully this won't happen to anyone else
Sorry for highjacking thread I know this is off subject but don't want anyone else to become a victim!!
Link worked fine when downloaded from phone but I have no way to modify zip or use adb to make JB boot
Sorry to kfazz for this post I know its not his fault I found many people with same problem with a Google search
Keep up the great work kfazz you are the best!!

Similar problems, but mine's randomly deciding to boot up or not. Sometimes it doesn't boot at all, other times it boots on the first try.
However since the Camera, Wifi, and other Jelly Bean goodness works, I can't help but to thank you on this release, Good luck on further development!
EDIT: And now it won't even boot, sometimes it just gets stuck at a blank screen. Bummer.

I can't get it to boot up. I end up with red M bootloops with both the 8/24 and 8/26 builds. I wiped everything between flashes. Any ideas?

Flashed over 7/12 ics build seems as good as ics was don't think I will be going back to ics. Gallery opens but never shows any pics fm radio is nice only plays in mono other than that everything else I have tested is working correctly great work as usual

[Q] Lollipop 5.0 camera not working?

After updating my Nexus to 5.0, the camera worked fine for a couple of weeks. However, starting from a few days ago, when I open my camera app, it won't function at all; instead, all I get is the screen shown in the screenshot.
I'm afraid that's all I can really explain about this problem, as I can't think of any other relevant details.
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes I get this annoying message when I try to access the camera, it says " Cannot connect to the camera " so what I usually do is reboot my device and then everything works again aha.
Glad it sorted itself out.

Same problem. Rebooted 4 times. Cleared cache. Still no camera

I have the same issue, tried the following
Reboot
Clear camera data
Reboot
Clear device cache
Reboot in safe mode
Reboot
None of that worked.
Tempted to try a new ROM and go from stock 5.0.0... See if that helps

I'm on stock rooted 5.0 and I have gotten this issue multiple times. Multiple reboots fix it temporarily but I can't figure out what actually triggers the issue.
I rarely use the flashlight pulldown, and haven't at all during the last few reboot cycles that this has still happened.

OnePlus 6 performance

Hello, everyone
I recently bought 1+6 6/64 and I've been having performance problems since the first day. It came with Oxygen OS 9.0.2
There are many lags throughout the interface: left drawers, often scrolling when the content had just loaded and switching between apps, PUBG works in 30fps, Hearthstone - the same.
It's doesn't lag all the time (but most of it). I've cleared cache many times. Also, I've made factory reset once. It works just the same. Not better, not worse.
So I just don't understand what's going on. It's the next hardware. Everyone says 1+6 works super smooth. Why don't I always see this?
And yes, it's really fast. Apps run as if they are already opened.
Thanks for everyone who tries to explain this

AEX Rom performance in h6x?

How is AEX Rom in terms of battery, camera, gaming,customization, performance, etc... I am thinking to flash one!!
also if u have suggestions for any other roms better than AEX plzz let me know...
thanks in advance..

I ran AEX 6.1 for 2 months, my opinion is:
Battery: good but not the best i could get. You'll surely arrive to the end of the day, but i never went over 1.75 days with a moderate usage (no socials, i often listen music and browse the web, i use obviously calls and messages and i hop on XDA sometimes and finally i like to play old games emulated).
Camera: almost as stock, you'll achieve the best results with Footej Camera (thanks @Mannan Qamar for letting me discover this camera app!).
Gaming: i used only and exclusively emulators for PC games like Quake, and overall for good old PSX and various consoles classics like NeoGeo/MAME stuff, so my opinion here won't count much because those games are easily playable on almost phone of nowadays.
Customization: surely not a world like RROS customizations awaits you, but i was satisfied with what i found (buttons functions, move the clock to the center, recents gestures, navigation bar modifications, ecc.) and I'm sure you'll discover that by yourself if you'll use it.
Performance: very good. I don't remember heavy or light lags while scrolling or doing various activities. There was some functions that didn't worked by the way, like vibrate on call answer and music interrupted on audio players even if the player was whitelisted from battery optimization menu, but nothing that compromised the correct execution of the OS.
But in all this, the most important thing is that the ROM has been dropped by the developer because newer builds that came after last one, upstreamed to latest AEX sources, didn't booted on Hi6250 devices. That said, I'd personally try the ROM if I'd like to give it a shot, but I'd rely on other projects if you're planning to keep your 6X as daily driver. Actually I'm using Descendant 2.1 GSI, and it's a bomb system. Much than satisfied with it. Check it out - https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...escendant-android-pie-custom-rom-ver-t3840578

does descendant rom has any bugs in honor 6x?

At the moment, the only one is that in-depth battery statistics (not general SoT and remaining hours on battery menu, i mean single app usage and battery consumption) aren't available due a bug. Like you can see in the screenshot attached, to be clear. Everything else rocks!

can u please tell the steps to flash this rom on my phone as I am a newbie for flashing roms...
thanks in advance:laugh:

There are instructions in OP, it's a Generic System Image so instructions are general for every device.
Anyway, to make it short: flash Descendant arm64 a-only version through fastboot (or through TWRP, but you'll have to reflash stock recovery for the next step, so it's useful to have already stock recovery) then reboot to recovery (stock) and factory reset. Then reboot to fastboot again, flash TWRP and then all the rest (GApps, Magisk...). For GApps, use SimpleGApps or BitGApps, google for them and you'll find those easily.

This didn't happened to me and sounds like if something went bad. Have you performed a factory reset in stock recovery after flashing Descendant?

Did you came from full stock? List me the steps that you've followed to flash Descendant, please. We must find where the problem lies.

That's the problem. The encryption error is normal, usually after that you need to reboot to stock recovery, format data, factory reset and finally let it boot.
Try this: go back to stock Oreo using HuRUpdater (bootloader will remain unlocked, so don't worry) and this time, don't flash TWRP yet. When you are fully stock, reboot to fastboot and flash Descendant there. Reboot and this time if phone shows encryption error and asks to format data partition, do it, it's nothing harmful. Factory reset and reboot, and once system boots up correctly, flash TWRP from fastboot and then all the rest.
