Does everone have noticed in the meantime, that the phone goes slower and slower?
Maybe it's an app - I don't know, that's the reason for my question....

I thought it was just me.
Mine eventually slowed to a crawl so I jumped back to CM9 and phone has stayed responsive with all the apps I was running under Doc's.

I miss the polished look and the customization options of Doc's rom and will likely give it another shot when the next version is released.

I've to reboot mine every 2-3 days because it starts to get too slow.also thought that it could be a certain app, but haven't been able to find that out

bricked it

So I was flashing with Odin and it got about a third of the way across (green bar) and the full screen on the phone turned red and just stayed like that for about an hour. No progress or anything and it was getting warm so I took it off. Couldn't get it to respond to anything. Pulled battery to reset. Three button mode to recovery, nothing.

Then I went to bed and the next morning tried again with the Volume up and down and plug it in and it went into download mode. But same thing, About 25% of the way in and the screen changed all yellow.. Now what? Can't get into download mode anymore. Will try charging battery again on external charger. Any advice on how to get this back would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Does this rom have a Samsung keyboard?

few bugs.. or is it just me??

Hey guys,

I love the look of this rom.. first time I've tried Doc's Master on my Vibrant and I really like it.. especially because of the battery life..

so I was wondering if anybody has seen couple things that keep bothering me..
First thing, so After my phone runs out of battery, I charge it completely of course and when it turns on, my settings for ringtone and notification sounds are gone.. I have to select the audio files everytime that happens.. any solution??

Second thing, When I create a new txt message, it doesnt give me the option to select multiple contacts.. I mean, I can still enter the names but it would usually give you the option if you want to select more than 1 contact.. any advice on how to do that? maybe Im doing something wrong...

oh and one last question, more like an advice from you guys.. I like the exDialer much more than the regular 'phone' app to make calls.. basically because the 'phone' app has the dialpad really dark.. is there any reason why I shouldnt remove that app with TiBu?? Im just wondering if it would cause any issue with the system or maybe I can add another dialpad look?..

thanks in advance for any info.. I like the default theme of the ROM and I would like to see more that I can install..

Cheers

Slower and slower

I have try a few ICS 4.0.4 ROM and all seems to have major lag after 2 days, a reboot is require. I always go back to Euphoria (ICS 4.0.3) after testing out new ROMs. I can go for a about a week before seeing any lag, and battery life is about 13hrs (Wi-Fi and music on most).

I think it is related to memory. Even though this version has the low memory fix, I think if you have an excessive amount of apps like I do, you will still have problems. Try running the "40tweaks" in the init.d folder with ScriptManager. Set it to run as "root" and at "Boot" That will set your available ram to 75mb. That seemed to stop it for me. For anyone experiencing lag, like someone posted a few above this one, you need to reboot every few days. I might be wrong, but I think SubZero deletes cache on reboot by default which will speed things up again or you could do it manually. And lastly if it will stick for you, set you background processes to 3. Mine will not stick.

Any way to increase the network scanning attempts or reduce delay when phone comes out of no signal area ? For me sometimes it takes about 10 minutes , just to catch signal again. If I just toggle airplane mode...I get instant signal

GPS Problem fixed by Fault Exception - can you implement in your new ROM?

Check out FE's CM9 nightly thread. He's identified a line of code that seems to have resolved the problems with GPS dying after deep sleep. And the beauty of the find is that it's in the ROM, not the kernel, so theoretically you could use any kernel you want - previously, subzero's kernels were the only ones that had some success in this area.
I'm sure you could implement this into your new ROM.

I'm sure you could implement this into your new ROM.

The issue is caused by a new security feature in ICS called Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). ASLR is enabled/disabled in the ramdisk of the kernel. The reason GPS after Deep Sleep worked for subZero was that I had disabled ASLR long ago, probably for this reason.

FaultException's ingenius fix is to wrap the original gpsd binary and disable ASLR to just that binary. As long as the rom renames the original gpsd binary to /system/vendor/bin/samsung-gpsd, and you put in the /system/vendor/bin/gpsd wrapper, then any kernel running ASLR should work the same way as the subZero kernel.

FaultException's method is better from a security standpoint, because ASLR can remain enabled for all the other processes/binaries.

Hi, thanks for the info.. I guess Im doing something wrong..
I still lose my ringtones for my calls and text every time my phone runs out of battery and I have to go back and set them up manually.. I guess I dont know how to run the 40tweaks as you suggested.. do you have a link that explains how to do it??

Also, I had the 'duplicating ringtone' issue at one point but the next time I rebooted it wasnt there anymore..

Finally, I still can't figure out how to send a message to multiple contacts... as I mentioned in my original post, the messaging app doesnt give you the option to select multiple contacts unless you enter the names one by one..

any help will be appreciated.. thanks

ps. I forgot to mention that I dont have many apps.. I only have the ones that came with the ROM.. nothing else and I dont even use the email/play/youtube apps at all.. just the browser at this point

About losing the ringtones, try to see if it happens after a simple reboot, a battery pull, or turning off the phone before changing the battery. It happened to me again just once since your post which was a surprise. In fact, all my notifications change to something else when this happens. Plus I've discovered that my ringtone, which is a midi file I always add in when I flash a new version, doesn't play at the same sound level as the ogg files. This has been on the last two versions only-strange. I'm looking at converting that midi file to ogg to see if that will result in it playing at a greater volume.

To run 40tweaks, download the app Scriptmanager. When you open it, first you will get a dialog box asking to browse as root-choose root, then you will see the contents of your internal SD card. You'll have to hit the back button until you can see your root directory (twice I believe), the same files that you see when you first open Root Explorer. Then you want to tap the system folder, that opens then tap etc folder, that opens then tap init.d. When that opens, tap 40tweaks and choose root and boot from the top of the Scriptmanager app. Tap run and let finish. It will run automatically from then on every time you reboot. Be aware that it will take a little time after rebooting, less than a minute, for lag to go away as everything finishes booting. It is worth the trouble.

Also, I had the 'duplicating ringtone' issue at one point but the next time I rebooted it wasnt there anymore..

This build was made to fix that, so that's a good thing.

There's no way around that one unless Google updates the app to have that functionality. You'll have to use something else, I guess.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but I swear I've gotten a smoother experience from making some space in my internal SD partition. I deleted a lot of cwm ROM backups and got about 4 gigs of space. Makes no sense to me but just sayin'.

amitks · Jun 20, 2012

I installed the 12.1 version coming from AOKP, and CPU spy tells me that the processor is always in 1000MHz state, rarely in a lower state, and never in DeepSleep. I am losing battery in 2-3 hours depending on usage. Any solutions?

I did format my memory SD partition when I first flashed this ROM.. I wanted a clean start

One other thing I've noticed is that the phone will reboot on its own once a week.. for no reason at all!!.. :/
I mean.. my phone is sitting there and suddenly I see it rebooting.. or let's say i send a txt message and bam! it restarts after the txt is sent out.. weird huh!?

Also, I havent tried it yet but i think I will install another txt app so I can txt multiple contacts.. is there any app you or any might recommend?

I will give ScriptManager a go and see if that fixes the losing-ringtone issue..

thanks again for the help

Use the kernel cleaning script and flash again doing a full wipe install. Do this first. Then if it continues after this, check to make sure you don't have both NSTools and SetCpu. You can use both, but if they are set to different Governors/settings, you will have problems . Usually making settings in one sets the other, but I've noticed that isn't always the case (I've had this in the past). I keep Setcpu because of familiarity same as I keep Voodoo Sound around.

I'll look for this. I have three batteries and change them out when they get to about 4 percent. Maybe I should let the phone die? Is that what you mean by "runs out"?

I've only had one reboot that I've noticed, and then I got the faded boot image which is associated with that encryption bug. My phone booted up fine, however. Sorry I can't recommend any apps cause I stick with the stock one. I agree I could use improvement though. I'm hoping that Vibraturks new update will include the Linaro toolchain. From what I read over in the Zen thread it really gives a boost to speed.
