Comments about RO Acudroid V3 ICS Themed - 21/02/12 on Super Smooth Android 2.3.6 JQ9

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

ROM looks nice, I'm a noob too, would love to try Accudroid. Am using Hyperdroid right now. How's the battery life with Accudroid? Is it good?

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.
Cheers

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?
Menu is fixed as you noticed already,
If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

there is no setting menus for those 2 apps so can't change anything. The chrome2phone was working fine on my original ROM (froyo)

isn`t there is Android 2.3.7 for the galaxy tab
can you use it in the next update?
but i think this is a great job you`ve done

Hi Acubens,
I notice that long press power button menu (aka Device Options) doesn't offer reboot options.
can you make that for us?
Thanks for the nice ROM.

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

Got it. Thanks anyway!

I looked for a solution and seems there is none... many users complain about the notification sound, some also mention it lasts forever (like mine...), but no 1 mention what version of Android they are using http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=239 . It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback on the issue you have, it will probably never work as it is made for froyo and not for gingerbread.

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again. Didn't have this problem on V3... Anyone else got this problem? any solution?

Hi,
Wifi scanning is set for 180 seconds to save battery, if you like to change that you can install rootexplorer and change settings in build.prop or delete the complete line and save it.

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....

use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.

Edit: New version 0.97 with experimental full network access available.
Edit: New version 0.98 available.
Changes include:
full network access may work on 2.x devices now too
latest usb_modeswitch program and data package included, providing
several new modem configurations
custom config files may be added in "/sdcard/pppwidget/cfg"
improved robustness
Edit: New version 0.99 available.

Translations to German, Portuguese, Dutch and Vietnamese
Additional translations are welcome.
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..

Thanks, JFDee. And don't sweat the limitations. If you stick around I think that you'll forget all about that once you get a few posts in.
I'm checking it out now.
In case anyone else wants to check it out, here's the link.
http://www.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html
I haven't been able to connect it to my AT&T Atrix4g yet. I'm sure it is a config problem on my part. I'll goto to the forum at your site to see what I can figure out.

supurb work.
I can only say , supurb work it works like a charm , installed the widget ,(on my custom RE-FLEXxx rom android 4.0.4), turned wifi off and plugged in my HUAWEI E1552 and did my apn settings (for belguim and my provider = apn = "internet.be") pressed dial and I got connected instantly. So supurb and you can expect a donation m8.
Edit.
Some side info , if I install a application to monitor mobile data use like 3g watchdog the ppp app crashes and I need to reinstall ppp widget.
Not a big problem , just letting you know.

Congratulations
Congratulations for civato who posted the good news for 3g working in the A500 as well as the developer who made possible to run 3g with the iconia A500, finally I can migrate to Flexreaper relix R.4. It works like a charm. Thank you, you are one!!!!!!:good:

I didn't do anything thank the OP , I just confirmed that it works on my custom roms.
Some info for app builder.
Sometimes I need to remove the widget from home screen , go back to Widgets and replace it on my home screen .
If not I get crash message , ppp widget stopped.

I suppose that is one of the problems caused by Android not knowing "officially" about the working PPP connection. I'd really like to find a way of changing that (and make all apps aware of the connection) without changing central system components like "init.rc" ...

Superb APP..Will die for it

I have been dying for seeing such an app for the last one year. Tried N number of ROMs, but all were a pain only for this.
You have done a great job here.
One Request here to make some small change, if it is not too much bother. Whenever the tab sleeps, the modem disconnects too, which is expected. But if you could add another setting for AUTO RECONNECT MODEM, it will be superb. :good:

I'm not afraid of changing init.rc in ramdisk , so I can build custom kernel for the A 500 and my roms , so what should add in init.rc.
But again really thanks for the so easy in use widget. Is it OK for you if I change the layout for myself , I would like a more transparent look and other icon.

Hmm, that depends. I'd rather have a consistent look for my widget, no matter where; that includes the icon as the central sign.
But maybe I like your alternative design and will use it as the default ...
If you have anything to show (screen shot?) you can PM me.

No problem m8 , will do if I cooked something up.
Edit.
Strange , the moment I change layout the widget won't install but that is not a big deal.
I got other problem, after a while ( when not used) the widget tabs go blank and the moment I insert my dongle it crashes with message , ppp widget stopped.

for the developer: I am reporting a bug that has to do with a constant message that appears each time I insert the usb dongle saying "the application has stopped" and does not allow me to connect the device. The application has crashed several times. When I reboot the system starts working again just for a while. I am using 0.96 latest version. god bless you.
Note: This is not a complain, it is a suggestion for the developer that can help to improve the software.

No it won't I tested that.

Wow, very cool!
Don't really need to use my 3G stick since I can tether my phone while on the road but it's nice to have the option.
This was foolproof plug and play, just needed to reboot the tab once for it to recognize the modem (ZTE MF110)

although not developed form my tab, i tried and it appears to not install corretly on the acer a510(rooted). no pppwidget dir is create nor can i find the files under their standard directories, ie usb mode switch. as a result just get an error from pppwidget when i plug in a wireless stick. (sierra wireless 306 and sierra wireless 598usb).

Jfdee,
many thanks for this...I am using stock ICS, just to report - it is bit unstable, keeps disconnecting......
eagerly waiting for a more stable version from you...

[Guide] Newbie to Epic 4G Cyanogen - Common problems solved

Hello,
I am writing this to help other newbies who may want to switch to Cyanogen for the first time on their Epic 4G. There were a few things I needed to do after to get everything working the way I liked and I figure this will save some people time.
What do I need to do prior?
There are many how-to's which will help but I had my Epic stock rom rooted so it was as simple as flashing cyanogen through recovery. Here is the link for a "how-to" root the stock rom if you wish to do it this way. It was the easiest way for me though the official guide says "Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9eaCtiS0Bo​
Where do I get Cyanogen?:
You can download it here. I am running the 10.0.0 stable build.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Epicmtd_Info​
I have no google apps:
This is a problem with any Cyanogen installation. Easy fix, download & install the gaaps package from the link below and your marketplace will be back.
http://goo.im/gapps​
I don’t have Navigation:
Easy fix again, download the google maps app. Here is the app store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLm1hcHMiXQ..​
I don’t have voicemail:
While you can use any voicemail app I wanted the one I had on the stock rom. I linked the app below and your voicemail will be back as soon as you install it. You need to open the app after so that it will activate.
https://od.lk/d/MjRfMjc2MDY5MF8/vtt-sprint.apk​
I am getting texts from 9016 every time I get a voicemail:
From reading it seems the stock rom blocks us from seeing these but they are in fact needed for voicemail to work. To fix this I used a free app called “RedList”. Simply add 9016 to the RedList within the app, change the settings to disable both notifications, and this will problem will be solved. Here is the app store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5saW5ub3IuUmVkTGlzdCJd​
Text messages no longer have separate colors for me and my recipient:
The stock android text display is white and I hated this after getting used to Samsung’s nice colors but luckily you can solve this in two ways.
(One) A theme manager is built into the interface section of your settings page. After searching through almost every free CM10 theme I found this one I liked. It does NOT touch too many things only adding a brushed metal look and displaying text messages how I wanted them. There are a few colors to choose from but I went with Blue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992980
(Two) Replace only the MMS app with one that is color coded. Please note that unlike the above, to reverse this down the road you will need to find a stock mms app package with an installer. This is good for people who are sure they want this and only wish to change the colors of the messenger, while the above is good for people who like to switch themes often being able to revert back at any second. Link for the colored mms app.
http://www.mediafire.com/?hcjukwwkj4y41h3
Morror: https://od.lk/f/MjRfMjc2MDY5MV8​
Facebook pictures no longer sync with my existing contacts:
This is a small problem, but still one that I got used to having with the stock rom and wanted to correct. From reading this seems to be a problem related to later Android versions, not just Cyanogen. The fix for this is easy as well, search out a free app called “UberSync for Facebook”. I had the regular facebook app installed & logged in prior and UberSync logged right in, got the pictures, and updated my contacts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.​
I no longer have Swype:
Despite having the nice physical keyboard (the whole reason I got the Epic) I still got used to using Swype here or there. I don't think I will be allowed to link this file here but you can find it on "certain" sites.​
Notes:
Despite reports that Bluetooth can be problematic, I use it daily with an earpiece and have yet to experience any issues. GPS & 4G also work great. If any links are broken send me a PM! I check my email daily.​

Why are they so bad? The bring you right to the download and I won't be deleting these files from my dropbox. Much better IMO than dealing with one of those sites where you have to wait 45 seconds for a download link to appear in a sea of other spam download buttons.

Well...
No MD5/SHA1 to compare against to make sure you have a complete download.
People's dropbox tends to get too much traffic and the link becomes dead.
You basically cut out the original author(s) of the file.
Based off # 3: They could need the ad revenue, and/or want to track download activity if they're self-hosting.

I know this isn't directed at me, but the things I have on my box account are older things( Samsung Moment update tool), things I've done for myself, or things that I've found for other people. In other words, things many people don't care about.

#1 - I think more people are concerned with a working link, if they download the archive after and it somehow gets corrupted i'm sure they will just try again
#2 - Valid point though my files don't have a great enough of demand to warrant this. If this changes I will change my links.
#3 The only thing that wasn't mine with a dropbox link was the MMS app and I only mirrored it in case the original link were ever taken down. If it will make you happy I can include the original link as well. For the voice mail app, its simply the sprint one ripped from a stock rom.
Though your points are valid, I think you are sort of just being picky bud

Thanks for the VM download link. Only thing I want is task manager which I had installed on CM9. Is there stockish one that works for 10?

Try the flashable one from here

swype
I reinstalled swype 3 or 4 times with various upgrades and it would always "expire" and I'd have to figure out how to get it working again. I am running 10.1 RC5 now and it has a decent generic swype-ish virtual keyboard. The thing missing is that you can't finish your text and go back and fix any misspelled words by touching alternate suggestions. You have to catch them as they come up. It seems like at first I could still do that, but I can't figure out how to get the suggestions to come back up.
I'm over swype.

Just flashed CyanogenMod 10.1... is there any built in overclocking?

You need a different Kernel. I have been using didy's kernel for a while. You flash CM10.1 and then you flash the kernel. CM10.1 has its own kernel that overwrites what you flash. So when you update, i think you have to reflash the kernel. I haven't screwed around with it since I installed rc5. I think I did CM, then the kernel, then the big mem patch. I never was able to figure out how to update the radio. I always ended up with "no voice service" or worse.
There is a thread in the developer forum that has the links to the kernel downloads. I am running one from may 30 and haven't updated.

I think I found it... Is didy the same as didhiy?
[KERNEL][CM10.1]Nitest Kernel for Crespo4G/Epic4G Modem with Voodoo Sound&Color
When you say you couldn't update the radio, you just mean the cell service radio, right? Not wifi? I don't have cell service on my Epic, so that wouldn't be a problem for me... just as long as the wifi radio still works
Also, what specifically do you mean by "or worse"?

Yeah. That's the one. I looked at my about phone and it said "didy".
I saw a thread about the nexus radio being hot **** and I fooled around with it. I got either "no voice service" or no nuthin. I was able to flash back to the regular epic radio. there is another thread that had all the flashable zips with different modems. luckily the epic one undid my stupidity - at least on my phone.

Thanks man, I'll give it a shot. CM10.1 is running pretty smoothly on my phone, but it could be better and battery life is not an issue for me.
I'll be sure to run backups before I do though :good:

Thanks
These tips helped - I just made the jump to CM 10.1, and although there are a few quirks it has been great. Your list really helped.
FYI, one thing I ran into was the auto-rotate didn't work. I followed the directions here:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html
the first time, there was no change. I tried again (and calibrated like 6 times) and it worked.
Has anyone noticed the physical keyboard doesn't always work the same? In some places, you have to hold down shift or Fn while pressing the key you want (for example - hold shift while pressing A, rather then pressing shift then pressing A). It's not consistent - some inputs work like the keyboard did before. Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this. Not the worst thing (I'm just glad I still have a physical keyboard), but I would prefer it work the way it did before, or if that's not possible, at least be consistent.
And the smiley face button on the physical keyboard doesn't work either. I mean, it's like 2005 where I have to type out my 's!!

any phantom voicemail fix?

phantom voicemails?

I have noticed that the physical keyboard doesn't work right in the browser. Shift and Fn don't seem to work. I am usually in such a hurry that I just close it up and use the virtual keyboard if I want to have punctuation. It honestly didn't occur to me that it might be fixed. I can't offer that fix. I am just offering emotional support and validation.:good:

I noticed that the default browser you have to hold the shift or fn key while pressing the desired key to get it to work. Apps and os seem to work with a tap od these keys and then a hit of the desired key.I recall a while back a thread about the smiley and since it was not a default key the consensus was that they would not be adding the functionality to cm. While on the topic...same goes with the .com function.

ExistenZ Marshmallow problems and solutions

Our beloved developer @niaboc79 is getting very tired of people always asking the same questions and posting their problems in the development topic of his rom.
So I decided to make this topic in the "general" section of the forum where people can post about their problems and hopefully some solutions, in the hopes that it will help him and the people having problems at the same time.
Whenever a cause or a solution for a problem is found, I will put it in the second post, right underneath this one.
I want to make clear that I'm not an expert and cannot help much myself, I will just collect and centralize information, and I'm in no way affiliated with @niaboc79 and his work, and do absolutely not deserve any credits for his work.
Also there is no guarantee that the information I collect and post in the second post will be a solution for your problem even if it has apparently worked for other people with similar symptoms.
I invite everyone that uses his rom to share helpful information here. (please)

Firstly ; a copy of the FAQ that @niaboc79 posted himself. You should read it before asking questions.

Recovery access problems:
-Don't update busybox
-Don't update Kernel
-Don't flash DRM fix (see FAQ)
If you haven't done one of the above, you should be able to enter recovery by pressing volume down (repeatedly) while starting up the phone.
If you did do one of the above, simply reflash the rom.
Note: since version 4.7 (or alternatively version 3.9) lag is no longer appearing in the rom. If you do witness lag on 4.7 (3.9) there is probably something that you have done that is causing it. Check and double check your apps and settings before trying other solutions in that case!
Lag problems:
-Update to rom version 4.7 (or 3.9 for the rom based on the beta firmware)
-Follow the instructions posted here on rom version prior to 4.7 (3.9)
If you still witness lag after that:
-After installing, give the rom some time to settle, it has to index all your files and the memory management still has to find out what apps (you) are running. This takes a long time (depending on your usage) so give it some days.
-Some xposed modules and Greenify are known causes. Disable that if you use them and see if the lag still persists. If it is gone, you can find the exact module/setting that is the cause by disabling just one module/setting at a time and try if the lag has gone. (this also counts for other problems by the way)
-Stamina mode makes the phone slower as it lowers processor speed etc. Turn it off and check if the lag has gone.
-Many (also popular) apps use quite a lot of system ressources even if you aren't using them. You could uninstall your apps, then reinstall them one at a time, use the phone a bit to check if the lag came back, if not install the next app, and so on until you find the app that is making your phone lag/behave weird.
-Never restore a titanium backup (or similar) when coming from a lollipop rom. There are several differences between lollipop and marshmallow so you risk to restore incompatible stuff.
-Activating blur in recents causes lag (v 3.5, should be solved with the next update of the rom) Fixed in final version
Profile picture (top right of status bar) won't remain after reboot:
-Open the contacts app and go to the first contact (that should contain info about you, and no image) and choose the picture you would like to see in stead of the blue user icon (click on the pencil and then on the image)
Now the image for the user switch in the status bar has been changed too, and it will stick after reboot.
Switch user causes a crash of the beta feedback app and doesn't work
-Remove beta feedback app
You can now switch users, although the system will crash/reboot, it does switch. (will be fixed in a future release of the rom) Fixed in final version

The second post of this topic right here...

i did try to reflash the rom after upgrading busybox, but i just cant find a way to flash zip file through pc.
is there a way to flash the rom without flashing back to stock?

Maybe this will work
But if you have problems, there is nothing better than starting from scratch and do a clean install imo

By just looking at that image, not really.
I see that you haven't used your phone much during the time of the picture, so no apps are using battery, nor your screen. That automatically makes the operating system the most consuming thing, as it is needed to keep the phone running.

Click on the app to see what is consuming (radio, processing.... ) if it is the radio, maybe you had very bad connection. If it's the process that prevents the processor going to sleep you should try to find out what is running all the time.

When you made this edit did the Advanced Calling options go away in settings?
It's doing that on custom ROM oddly.
But you can still turn off Video Calling in call/settings, but can't get turn AC off completely unless you backtrack the MOD. Was a PITA tracking down what was taking AC away from settings menu and turns out to be this one single edit lol

AC = auto call? I can still turn it off and on without it crashing, but haven't tested if it actually disables if I uncheck it.
Flying home tonight. So I'll check then.

AC = Advanced Calling, sorry.
I think misunderstood my question.
So with customs ROMs I have ran into an issue where I lost the Advanced Calling and Tethering options in Settings menu (see attached screenshot). I finally after way too many hours, tracked the problem down to this one MOD (I had to find if it was from an app I was editing, then down to edits in the system, finally found it was in the customize folder and then in ACC/default.xml and even in there took forever as I had many changes). As soon as I make the edit and reboot they are gone, make edit back to stock and they show.
Everything still works fine - in regards to Advanced Calling, HD Calling and Wi-Fi Calling but those settings menu options just aren't there to turn on and off. I can get to an option to turn off Video Calling (see 2nd attached screenshot) which then leaves it into HD Calling state.
What I do as a workaround is keep a default.xml.bak with this MOD removed if I ever need to get into the options for w.e reason and they are only a reboot away.
Not the biggest problem, but very strange indeed. I made the same edit on M8, but M9 as well and never ran into this issue.
I was wondering if you had this issue as well after doing this MOD.

No problem my friend, I appreciate your feedback.
I couldn't figure out why it was missing and tracked it down to this one edit. Very weird. You should try setting it back to 2 value and reboot and see if Advanced Calling comes back.

Thanks for the directions on this @andybones - Verizon's constant wifi notification nag drives me nuts.
Just applied this to @santod040's Nougat stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...m-1-85-605-9-aroma-root-root-debloat-t3529732) and it appears to continue to behave as you expect: lost the Advanced Calling and Wifi Tethering options out of the Settings menu. I can still get at the tethering via the sub-menu 'Mobile network sharing' as well as the quick settings pane so good to go. Too bad this even has to be a thing. #&$*#&$ Verizon

Very welcome. I know of another method to remove the WiFi Nag and still keep the Menus correctly in Settings. It's actually a method that we used on the M8 if I recall correctly. The current method posted here was what we used on the M9, and strangely had no affect to Settings Menu, even though the M9 also has Advanced Calling. I remember testing this method out a little bit ago on the 10, and all was fine. However to be sure, I am posting a .zip with the edited .apk and a .zip with stock, to go back to stock, and also if anyone wants to see what was done. Simple edits of removing 10 .png images.
