[rom][wip][cm9] Samsung Rugby Smart (SGH-I847, Galaxy W Variant) CyanogenMod 9

kemonine96 · Oct 16, 2012

After 2 months, a couple false starts and plenty of soft bricks I am pleased to bring you CyanogenMod 9 for the Samsung Rugby Smart

Please note this is for the Rugby Smart which is a Galaxy W variant. This will NOT run on a Galaxy W.

Links for download / install / other info

As a token of appreciation for everyone being patient and letting us get the work done I have back-ported the Circle Battery Indicator from CyanogenMod 10 for you guys.

Thanks to motorhead1991 for all the ideas / research and kernel help
Thanks to nicedream06 for all the ideas / research and testing
Thanks to arco68 for the tips on what needed to be done with the Linux Kernel and making it work with CM9 and for the general work on the Galaxy W which this is based upon. Without his help this wouldn't have been possible

Everything here is dangerous, may cause a brick, will void a warranty and has the potential to just plain wreak havoc. Do not complain you followed my instructions and met with a dead device. Consider yourself warned

I've tested to the best of my ability, but I am one person with one device, I cannot catch all potential failure modes. If you find a problem and a fix, or have information that should be added let me know and I will update the necessary information.

Installation

Install Instructions
The rom should install cleanly over a stock or non-stock rom. It will also work with any of the basebands we are aware of.

Install ClockWorkRecovery 6.0.1.2 (See this thread for more information) Without this recovery installation will fail
Download a build from post 4
Copy to sd card
Wipe Data / Factory Reset (Only do this if SWITCHING ROMS)
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Install from zip
Select build from sd card
Reboot
Enjoy!
Install gApps as necessary. Given the nature of the installer, I will not be posting links. Check below in the thread / google.

If you need / want google accounts sync / play store / many google apps you will need the gapps installer. I will not be releasing it on this page, it is readily available via a google search

This was for the AOKP announcement, but the ROM has moved:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1941043

Giving this a shot, let you know how it works out tomorrow afternoon

ESPFreak · Oct 17, 2012

Looks great! Booted perfectly. Only issue I came upon so far is no Google apps or Google account sync in settings. Great work so far guys!

BTW I used Alpha 2

Motorhead1991 · Oct 17, 2012

Keep in mind:

CM9 is the more stable of the two ROMs as it is purpose built for the Rugby. My AOKP ROM is a little buggy and is a modified W ROM.

Did you flash the gapps zip? You have to do that with all 3rd party roms.

Motorhead1991 · Oct 17, 2012

If I can't get AOKP rebased onto CM9, I'll start playing around here.

ESPFreak · Oct 17, 2012

Gotcha. Was not aware of that. Most recent one listed, I assume?

nicedream06 · Oct 17, 2012

Flash the most recent one for CM9.

OK everything is working great afer a full day of use. Awesome! Only issues I have had:

-Facebook contacts won't sync
-I use Smart Keyboard Pro for my keyboard and the gestures are not being recognized (swipe up to change keyboard layout, down to close, etc)
-Occasionally upon waking I am unable to swipe between home screens. After swiping repeatedly and opening and closing the app drawers and notification bar the srceen frees up. (I am using ADW launcher)

Besides the Facebook contact thing, the other issues seem to be ralated to the touch screen. It works fine, but it does feel slightly less responsive than stock.

Love having ICS on this phone! Great work and look forward future developments

Motorhead1991 · Oct 18, 2012

Solid error report ESPFreak

, thanks. I don't believe it's a touchscreen problem however, at least at a kernel level. Gestures work on my ported ROM and I'm currently using Kemo's kernel. (it's actually how I launch the dialer). That's not saying that there's not a bug higher up in the system however.

Can you install a CPU meter like OS Monitor and set it up to run in your status bar / notification drawer and see if you are getting CPU spikes when the touchscreen goes somewhat unresponsive? Motorhead and I have noticed some CPU spikes popping up after the screen is off for a period of time.

I have also noticed a few when my exchange / imap clients kick off sync's in the background causing the touchscreen to get a little flaky.

It could be an interplay on the kernel side. There was a lot of grief with the touchscreen and LCD drivers in the ICS kernel. I'm hesitant to rule it out just yet. Lets see what the CPU meter shows.

Installed OS monitor. I'll report back after some use. I found this thread about the facebook sync issue. Apparently it's common with cm9. I flashed one file and it did activate the sync option within the app but didn't actually do anything with the contacts. Maybe because it's a different build? Not sure but here's the link.

What quirks are you running into? If you get a list of the odd behavior we can take a look and see about smoothing things over.

This looks like something very very specific that I am not inclined to include in the vanilla CM9 builds. Motorhead think you might be able to work some magic in the AOKP stuff once it is further along?
