Most kernels have adverse effects - Vibrant General

Hey-
I've been cycling through different kernels for ICS, each having adverse effects. I tried icyGlitch 14, my sound wouldn't work right, volume rocker was backwards. Then I tried Devil, didn't like it, slow, but the sound worked. However my soft keys were all jumbled up too. Home was back, back was home, search did something random. Same story with Semaphore, but ran snappier than Devil. Is there some kind of a configuration that I should be doing when I install these kernels, or should they just run perfectly right out of the box, anyone know? Is it just a general problem, or probably just me specifically?

Have you tried sub zero? Its the best ice kernel IMO. You can find its thread at rootzwiki.com

Are you sure you're not getting the Galaxy S versions of those kernels?

I'm pretty sure, yes. I went back and did the search again, got to this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459475
It's the one I already had on my phone, at least the filename was the same. Maybe I'll try it again in a bit, I'm testing subZero, thanks Drjjones426
...no go on the subZero. Back is Home, and Home is Back.

Thanks, don't know how I messed that up, I think the thread said it was also for Vibrant. I'll try it as soon as I can figure how to get back to the dang bootloader. This Kernel I'm using won't let me in, I'll have to drop into download mode. Can't remember how, but it shouldn't be too hard.
Edit (after Heimdall saved my life): The sound seems to work as it should, volume rocker isn't reversed, but the home/back buttons are swapped. It's not like that for everyone else? Strange.

Oh... probably running a I9K ROM too... does your GPS work Scooterx3?

Well, I'm running Cyanogen 9 RC1, but I may have grabbed the one for the galaxy S and not specifically the Vibrant...
Yep, look at that. I thought they were identical, that's not the case. I'm downloading the torrent for "cm-9-20120628-NIGHTLY-vibrantmtd.zip" as we speak... Man. Thanks! We'll see how it turns out.
Oh and no, GPS hasn't worked
Edit: ....but now it does And the buttons are right. THANKS!!

anyways to the OP no current 2.1 is fully functional without issues. use a 1.5 if you want that, i recommend pancake without sense.
if you want a fully working 2.1 rom wait until the devs get their hands on the final build released from sprint hopefully this month?

Hi to you too.
No thanks.
Cool, thanks I am running fresh2.0d and I like this rom but the trackball light and the sound issue concerns me, because I dont know if it is fixed. I downloaded the fix but last night I got no sound again after I changed my autokiller setting,so I changed It back and it has been ringing all day, so I dont know if it is really fixed.....

mmmmm good
Fresh 2.0d has lwp (they don't work in Sense, but that is a problem with Sense), it has the trackball fixed, though all the button lights have some weird glitch, you'd have to try it to see it, but at least the trackball is in sync with those buttons. It also has all the sound working as well. I highly recommend it. I've been using it since it came out and I'd say its 100% functional with virtually no issues.
On RegawMOD 2.0.2p, I have LWP running and sticking with the regular Home, not sense, but they do stick. you need the 2 apks for it though.

I don't think it is. People have gone 20+ hours just to have the problem happen again. the fix seems to stave it off temporarily but as I have found, it seems to come back sooner or later. Oddly enough, some people just don't seem to have the bug at all. It is an issue in the audio driver of the kernel though, it is there in everyones phone. Just haven't figured out what causes the bug to surface in some peoples phones but not others.
So is there a new update because I have fresh 2.0 and the trackball did work until I dounloaded the sound fix and the trackball light went away...
So it still has the 7 screens or is it the one screen?

Built-in screenshot function

Alright, so....don't know if many people know about this, but there's a built-in screenshot function on the epic 4g. On the device keyboard, hold the back button and hit the home button a couple of times
Sorry if everyones knows about it, just thought it'd come in handy for people who don't.

Make sure youhit the home button in quick succession a few times. It saves in a folder called /ScreenCapture on /SDcard

THANK YOU!!! I did this once accidentally and have spent much time trying to figure out how to do it again to no avail. It appears not many people know this trick, as searching both google and the forums was unproductive for me. There is a similar trick for the galaxy tab that seems to be well known, but is accomplished differently.
thank you, you saved me from making a thread on this lol

meh cool but i rarely take screenshots of anything lol
It's a feature in Froyo only. Several, if not all, phones with Froyo have the capability.
The reason it only works with the hardware keys and not the capacitive buttons is because of the way that Samsung made them work. For whatever reason, the capacitive buttons don't actually respond to your finger pressing the button, but rather the finger lifting from the button, making a long-press impossible. Why this is the case is beyond me, as my Samsung TV and PS3 both have capacitive buttons and both respond to the actual physical touching (proof in that they both have long-press functions on the buttons).
Also, you only need to press home once. Just hold back for about three seconds before pressing it.
Must be a Froyo thing, works for me. Only issue is that pics are sideways (landscape only). Still prefer "ShootMe" though.

I have 3 questions

I have 3 questions...first and most annoying, why does my phone seem to hit the back button on its own? I will ne reading xda (for example) and I will feel the haptic feed back and it will take me to the subforum, then to main forum, then to phone selection screen. Then I cant select my phone again I have to hit my home button an restart the xda app. It happens with all different apps, I am just on xda most of the time.lol.
Second, has anyones phone booted into safe mode? Why does this happen?
And third, do you know where the standard wallpapers are located so I can delete them? I have found the live ones and they are gone and so are thw stock tones. Thank you in advance.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
1st one sounds like a hardware defect or a rogue app. You can try a hard reset (wipe of data) and see if it fixes it, but if not, you got a wonky hardware set.
2nd, there is a combination of buttons to boot into safe mode, and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that if the phone crashes a certain way, it will boot back into safe mode, but I'm not sure.
3rd, not sure, good question. I'd have to look at it, don't remember off the top of my head. Are you running stock or aosp ????
Answer to 3. Wallpapers live within the framework-res.apk You would gain nothing by going through the trouble of deleting them.
good day.

Mine does that too.. except its the menu key happens most when it is in my car dock (3rd party) tho i have power and audio running to it... wonders if it is bad hardware...
I have buttons press themselves sometimes. It's usually when there is a lot of buildup on the buttons from using. Wipe them off and the problem stops.

After wiping all stock tones and live wallpapers, I freed up about 30 mb and my phone just felt less bogged down. Also pulled a higher quadrant score(not that anyone cares about quadrant) just less useless crap on my phone. Thank you for answering

framwork-res.apk is a pretty critical apk, and to bother with disassembling, editing them out, then repackaging is just not worth it, trust us.

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.

Kindle Fire - CM7 Barebones Rom - Extended Power Button Menu

I am currently running CM7 Barebones on my kindle fire and overall it is a great rom, but one thing in particular is bothering me.
I have the option in the CM settings selected, but no options for home, back etc. appear in the power button menu, all I get is screenshot, reboot and poweroff.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Lol yeah, I may give hellfire another try. I actually tried it first and then got rid of it because I thought the volume bar at the top was some kind of graphical glitch.
It's a pity though because I really like this rom, I just miss that one little feature.

I was able to flash hellfire over the barebones rom after clearing the cache's without any issue. Seems to be working quite well, although I think maybe it has a few too many customizations.
I don't think it should be overclocked by default, for one thing. It's nice to have the choice, but it shouldn't be default imo.

You can get set cpu from xda for free and turn it to 1GHz if it's to much for you. I would definitely recommend for any cm7 getting volume control by big red pepper on play store makes life easier

Yeah I got no frills already, its not a big deal, just something i would've done differently.
Then again, I have no idea how to develop amazing roms, so I should probably not be so critical.
Yeah, volume control is also definitely essential.
