ICS Evervolv p6

Tweeted here and MD5 here. From a full wipe, I had a really smooth install.
Youtube is working great on wifi and works on 3g as long as I check "high quality on mobile" in the settings, otherwise I was getting the choppy video issues.
No changes to the cam and Flash still does not work as far as I can tell, ie. opening the flash app results in a blank page, and there is a blank space where the movie should be on Adobe's version checker page. No missing plugin icon, but its not functioning.
Still sound but no video on Netflix.

I just installed preview 5 two days ago and it's been running very smoothly thus far, only one reboot. Any significant changes you've noticed in p6 that would be worth wiping p5 for?

Well, you can modify what apps are shown on the lockscreen. I wish there was a changelog so you could see what was added.

Other than the baked in Exchange apk fix and the additional lock screen customization, I've not seen a great deal of difference yet. Hard to tell since they don't have changelogs for the previews. If you're happy with 5 I'd probably stick with 5 for now.
As a side note, I've had a couple of random reboots today and I had some weird issues with the launcher right after I installed Swiftkey X.
Also, really have to recommend Nova launcher. Flashed that over p6 a few hours ago and I'm loving this thing.

Yeah, loving Nova Launcher on my ICS Gnex. The ability to restore homescreens is really nice.

I guess this is a little off topic but: Anyone know why it's so difficult to get the camcorder working? I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux but is there that much difference between GB and ICS?

I'm no expert either, however I know the issue with getting the camera to work initially had to due with getting the drivers working in ICS (and there being no source for the drivers). I don't know how they got working camera drivers to begin with, but I'd only assume that the camcorder functionality needs a separate driver, or the current driver does not have camcorder support.

Whatever the source of the difficulty, a dev tweet has indicated a working camcorder in the next preview build. Glad to see progress being made, ICS has made me feel like I don't really need to spend money on an upgrade yet.

Indeed. P7 is up now and it has early camcorder support. I'm sure it will improve as time goes on, but it's a start for those who need it!

Many apps haven't received ICS compatibility updates yet since there is only one phone that officially has it. It will probably be hit and miss for a while.
That said, Netflix and Flash are both ICS compatible, but don't work properly on any of the dinc roms I've tried.

Has anyone tried getting the numpad to display when using the phone? I dialed 8228 to update roaming capabilities, when the option said press 2 I could not get the numpad up to press it.

Try downloading Ex Dialer from the market and set it as default.
This is my go-to app for AOSP and faulty dialing ROMs, see if it works for you.

Evervolv official discussion thread!

In this thread we will do the discussion of this ROM so we don't bother the developers anymore!

Sorry for this question, I am in good faith, but I want to understand if Drewis is developing this kernel alone or collaborating with the team CyanogenMod (or other). I guess the first hypotesis, but maybe they are sharing progress. Repeat, I am gratefully, it's only a curiosity

I can tell you that the latest version is running pretty smooth for me, the UI just seems faster and I can run the Chrome Beta which I couldn't even load up using MeDroid. HWA even at this early stage is giving my N1 a whole new life.

Very promising ROM but far too buggy for me to leave MIUI for it. :/
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

I flashed the P9 release yesterday (my first ICS release)... pretty smooth in general, Quadrant scores are not far behind the scores I had with CM7.1 (998 with evervolv P9 VS 1039 with CM 7.1)...
Got the same issues as stated in the "not working" section, plus the clock crashes (to set alarms) but that could be just a question of wiping cache/dalvik again.
Coming from CM, I miss all the customizations options in this ROM. Dont get me wrong, texasice did a fantastic job with the ROM and kernel development, especially in figuring out the HWA part...
But I will surely try MeDroid Remix (as soon as it's new release with HWA comes out this weekend) to see what it offers... looking at samuaz's thread, it looks a lot more customizable and coming from CM, it might be just what I'm looking for.
I will surely donate to both texasice and samuaz as well for a fantastic job done on their part, otherwise, we'd be probably stuck with Gingerbread forever.

I know plenty of much newer phones than ours that don't have a mod that can run chrome properly.
That said, if people are playing around with older (more stable?) versions and want to give some of the reboot fixes a try, look up market id com.jrummy.sysctl.config to set the memory without the new kernel or messing with scripts.
A lot of the CM stuff you might be used to is available from other programs. I mostly miss the brightness hacking and night mode filters, but I found a separate program that can make my screen dimmer to use as a night mode. The way the notification toolbar works is slightly different too. And Trebuchet is nice, but not that much different that I can tell.

I have an issue with p4 through p9.
I used trackball wake on build p3 it worked like a charm, but now when I press the trackball, pwr or vol buttons, the soft buttons are lighting but the screen remains black, I have loaded p4, p6, p7, and p9. All Roms work fine initially and appear trouble free up until the phone goes to sleep. After the phone goes to sleep the screen won't wake no matter what I do.
I have tried several SD cards, tried to turn off wifi, tried to change swap sizes from none to 256.... Not sure what else could be causing this???
Any ideas anyone?

So I got my phone running on the latest p11 finally. It works great, has been running for days, no reboots, pretty fast and seems stable so far... AND battery life has been awesome!
What I found was the CWM recovery was jacking my sd card when I partitioned it. I tried 4EXT recovery and all has been well after that.
No obvious issues other than camera preview...

Sometimes while on call the mic stops responding.. People calling me are not able to hear me..
I'm running p11 and not facing any other issues except the known one like camera preview etc ...
Anybody else facing similar issue?

*le bump*
Please do not let this topic die.

New rom is out. I had problems with wifi. No work around seem to work. I wait till the next version which I believe or hope to be stable one. Have to thank texasice, the rom is super smooth. ;-)

i think he posted a rebuilt p12 in the thread. it might be on the op page by now.

I just installed p13 today, it seems to work fine. The interface is a bit sluggish in places, for example Google Play is quite slow, and buttons don't always respond immediately. Is that normal for this rom?

Thanks, I tried the 0314-kernel and got slightly better results in the Quadrant benchmark (1004 as opposed to 937). But it didn't make a noticable difference in interface responsiveness.
It's not dreadful, but just not nearly as good as FroYo. But I'm not gonna expect any better since this is just a community work-in-progress rather than an official release.

Vine for Android here! Bug on CM?

Hey guys,
I am the Android engineer responsible for the video playback and recording components on the Vine for Android app. We noticed that there is a bug on a rooted 4.2.2 ROM (mostly S2, prob CM related) that it did not implement one of the camera method (specifically, onPreviewFrame, the data returns null when using image buffering) that we are relying on to work properly. Just want to let you guys know what the problem is.

i think its going to be a long wait. most aosp roms are based on CM. the problem is CM use a hacked rear camera with higher resolution. aps are created using normal android firmware so dont take into account the new hacked camera. unfortunately i think the makers of vine will see modified firmware user base as quite small so not bother to change their app and CM is unlikely to undo a better camera for the sake of 2 aps (same bug is in instagram video for the very same reason as vine)
neatrom works with them all as they are based on original samsung firmware but i prefer aosp roms but till the bugs for these 2 aps are sorted i'll have to stick to neatrom as 80% of what i do on my phone is instagram or vine related. oh well

I wish either Vine or CM and X-treme could come up with some kind of workaround.
I am missing a lot of moments that a standard photograph cannot capture and a video is too cumbersome.
I'm having to use my girlfriends iPhone when I have perfectly good Android hardware in my pocket!
By the time I have the iPhone in my hand and unlocked the precious 6 second moment is gone, FOR EVER.
Come on Vine! Can't you enable a compatibility mode or anything? :crying:

X-treme Rom v10 will be ready soon by the looks of things. Looking forward to it!
Does anyone know if this will fix the problem? (cannot currently write on all threads as I haven't enough posts)

@wzsddtc2
Nasty bug. Vine seems to be the only app on cm 10.2 that does not work..
with the latest update they outright claim your device is not supported. (It worked perfectly on Official 4.1.2 roms)
is this going to be fixed?

That's be cause we are probably the only app that uses that special method that Samsung broke.
The same bug happens on S4's front facing camera driver, but Samsung has provided a workaround for that (we post-process the images).
On Cyangenmod, the problem is they don't even pass back a bad frame, it just passes back nothing, so we can't apply any workarounds there.

That's not true. We saw the log from CM's bug tracker, it is entirely on their side and they just won't admit it.
Apps will request 640x480 preview size, but CM will report it succeeded but record at 720x480, which is a higher resolution.
We use onPreviewFrame() to get video frames and expect 640x480 frames, but CM will give frames at 720x480.
Because we give buffer frames at the smaller size, CM will treat them as invalid buffers and then just drop the frames.
Totally insane.

I'm using a t0ltetmo with the newest Carbon Nightly and Vine recording doesn't work.
Do you guys have a list of custom ROMs that is compatible with your app?
This is a bit annoying.

Yeah I gave up. I got an S4, running AOSB and everything is working well.
The S2 is a backup phone now.

ok so apparently no one fixed this issue.. i tried a bunch of cm based roms and different versions of android and ive found problems with video upload to instagram (upload bar just stuck at middle and wont go on), vine app wont work (it just tells me that im using custom rom and there's a problem with camera), upload videos to twitter also stuck.. so it seems to me that the problem is with CM kernel and video format.
still cant believe that no one addressed this issue over 2 years now, im stunned

[SOLUTION] How to fix 4.4 camera (for non-root users)

Hi everyone,
After few days of playing with the 4.4 firmware, I found out that the camera takes very long time to boot, and sometimes it says "Camera not available". But fear not, here's the solution for it, don't need to root your phone or switch back to 4.3 Jellybean.
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All.
2. Look for Camera, Camera common and Camera extension
3. Force stop and clear all the data.
That's it! You're good to go. I hope this helps a lot of people

I think i dont have the Bug becouse i wiped everything SD Card, Data, System and Cache/Dalvik Cache and i didnt restore a Backup i installed everything manually again on 4.4 so i guess thats why i dont have any bug at all. I saw someone writing about false Structure on SD Card and if you restore Backups, so this might be the tricky Part where Users get the bugs from.

True. This is how have to be done.

some issues, not so major ones though
white balance is messed up, getting a strange white light from nowhere on right side of image when in landscape.
Also, AR effect was hanging up when I clicked a photo before saving it. After the steps in this thread, that one issue is gone, but the main camera is too messed up. 4.2 was better.
till now I was against putting custom roms in my z1, but now, if a rom includes the z2 camera app in a stable config, then I am going for it.

I used the repair option, so far the camera opens normally now and no lag yet. I really don't want to reset my phone each time a new firmware comes out.

Camera is really slow

Hi. Has anyone experienced really slow camera performance with S3 Neo? Like you pressing shutter button in camera app and image is actually being taken 3-8 seconds after that?
I got this issue on CM12 and CM12.1, didn't tried other ROMs yet. I've tried different camera apps, Google Camera, OpenCamera and CM stock one. Each of those apps seems to be affected the same way. It works a bit better after reboot and cleaning camera app cache but I can't do that often. If someone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate. Thanks.
PS: I've tried camera fix from this forum but probably it's for some other issue as my camera stopped worked completely after applying fix and I had to re-flash ROM.

Camera fix is for devices that have a different camera sensor (there are two). So that's indeed not the right file. As for the camera speed, I'm not really sure. Mine is also really slow (cm12,1). I've come to live with it because i rarely use my camera anyway. I've tested some touchwiz based roms, and the camera was faster on those :/

OK, it seems like we're getting somewhere. Could it be CM issue? Maybe some other CM users can write a word about their camera app speed? I really like CM though, stock ROMs are overloaded with tons of software that is never used.

Nikola's CM have some issues with camera timing, and Motion based roms have laggy camera performance
Better to go with stock, because it uses the camera at the maximum performance.

Thanks! I'm currently testing CM based '[ROM][Stable][5.1.1][December 31]Resurrection Remix 5.5.9 - Final version' and it looks better. Need more testing though. Stock is too awful to use, I'd better live with slow camera, but maybe there's a solution.

Nope, Resurrection Remix is slow either, CM's curse. OK, I got it - fast camera OR fast ROM, no exceptions. Too bad, maybe CM13 will fix this?

Camera Quality is Poor
S3 original is better than this..

I've found 'lite' version of original firmware made by guys from 4PDA (link to original thread, sorry it's in russian).
It's 500 MB in archive and almost all Samsung stuff has been removed, so it's as clean and fast as possible. Camera works fine. In case someone else may need it, here's direct link.
Please note that I'm not the author of this firmware, not related to him in any way and not responsible for your flashing experience.

What about apps and interface? Except what is removed, everything else is all stock or anything replaced with 3rd party apps or other kind of mods? Because if so, it's not for me, I go for stock anytime.

Well, it looks like stock to me: http://pyaka.ga/litestock.png
Some Samsung apps and probably all settings are still there.
I've made some tweak using GravityBox, so clock, battery indicator does not look as they were initially.
