Works perfectly for me. How were you going about changing it?

Changing the DPI prevents the device from booting. I get stuck before the bootscreen.

What did you set it to? I've managed to set the DPI as low as 120 and it boots fine. Anything below 120 caused a bootloop on ICS, so I assume the minimum DPI the device supports is 120

The camera recording fix will be built into the next version so the camera remains themed.

I set it to 200 once, then 128. Had to reflash both times. I did discover that the issue was that I was using an app to switch it. I did it manually, and I'm fine now.

FAQ

Before posting about any issues you have, please read this FAQ as it might save you some time. I'll be adding to this as I go once more common issues are discovered

FAQ

1. I have an INTL device and the home, menu and back buttons do not work anymore
A: Flash an INTL kernel.

2. I can't find developer options
A: Settings > about device > tap Build Number 7 times. Press back. Scroll to bottom. Voila; developer options

3. ADB doesn't work
A: Turn on USB debugging from developer options. Update ADB using SDK manager (or however you prefer do it). Connect to computer. Accept whitelist request. Bingo

4. Trying to get a logcat but "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory"
A: Logging is probably disabled in the kernel. Flash a different kernel

5. I want to try out the phablet and tablet UI's. How do I do that? How can I go back to the phone UI?
A: When the dpi > 128, phone UI is used. When 106 < dpi < 129, phablet UI is used. When dpi = 106, Tablet UI is used. Phablet UI and Tablet UI are not fully themed yet and the S4 launcher doesn't respond well do changes in dpi so you're forced to use Trebuchet. As you'd imagine, setting the dpi so low makes everything really small so its not the most comfortable UI to use, but some apps make better use of the large screen in lower dpi settings

6. Where can I find wipe /system, /dbdata in CWM?
A: Go to mounts and storage

7. I get an assert failed error. HALP!
A: If you're still on GB, flash in ICS rom. Also try updating your CWM recovery to v6.x by installing a new kernel like Sultan

8. USB debugging and mounting USB storage doesn't work
A: Disable fastcharge

9. How can I swap my external and internal sd cards around?
A: Using a file manager (with root access) go to /system/build.prop and modify

Code:

persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=0

to

Code:

persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1

Save the file and reboot

10. How can I stop OTA updater and Play store force closing after updating the rom?
A:Settings > Apps > OTA Updater/Play Store > Clear Data

11. I like this rom but I have a 4.0. What can I do?
A: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2320198. The 4.0 rom is currently on 4.1.2, but it should be updated to 4.2.2 soon

12. I flashed this rom and now zombies are after me
A: Don't panic. Flash this. It turns your device into a sonar which will allow you to see any moving objects near you so you can make a quick escape

Recording meaning take a picture or video?

This ROM is silky smooth. Really really like it, looks great too.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but my 3 part earphones don't work, only 4 part ones work

It was 4.1 where the 3-parts didn't work. Mine are functioning perfectly with this.

I got a theory on the camera but I don't know much about ROMs so I don't think I can fix it. I believe the reason why the rear camera won't take any pictures is because all the rear camera resolutions available are for the Galaxy S' camera, which makes sense because CM10.1 was ported from the Galaxy S. The resolutions for the rear camera now go up to 5MP and the Galaxy Player 5 has a 3.2MP camera, so it makes sense that the rear camera can't take any photos. If the proper camera resolutions were defined in the ROM then I think the rear camera will work. I would try doing this myself but I have no idea where to find the file to modify

(maybe media profiles?)

Yes I know it was with 4.1 but mine don't seem to work but I went back to CM 10.1 so now they work

If this is the case, modifying media profiles might not be enough. The i9000 and variants use a different camera sensor so some libraries would probably need to be modified to match our hardware. The sensor used in the 5.0 is not very widely used so this may be fairly difficult to do. I started a thread a while back to collect all the work on a camera fix in one place, but it seems to have gotten buried under everything else. A lot of the stuff there is ICS related and there's a bunch of unnecessary bluetooth stuff, but if we can collect all the development work into one thread, it might speed things up as its easier to find any required info

Just tested it now and it works fine for me. Doing a clean install might fix it. You might not even have to wipe data. Wiping cache and dalvik cache might fix it.

Well this explains why the available resolutions are up to 5MP: https://github.com/JackpotClavin/an...mmit/68543fc28b889f9a379cf9c49c1fd470f50e29f9

I'm sure it isn't hard to make the changes to the Crespo's camera HAL to get the supported resolutions of the 5.0's camera. The rear camera is already initializing fine so maybe just those resolution changes will fix it. In that commit, look at the changes to libcamera/SecCameraHWInterface.cpp

But then again I'd be amazed if the solution is this simple

(it never is and I know almost nothing about ROM development

)

Ugh, no space on my SSD to build the ROM. Gonna have to use an external HDD for this stunt

I don't think changing the resolution will fix it. I just tried taking a photo with the resolution set to 1.3 MP, but it didn't work. I think the issue is when the image is being saved as the width and height both come up as 0 and even when the flash is forced on, the image details say no flash. If we look at how the front facing camera saves the image, we could compare it with how the rear facing camera is set to save the image and modify it to match. I'm not entirely sure that this would work, but it might be worth a try

Yeah I just looked at the resolutions and some of them are the same as before. I also noticed that some ISOs that aren't supported by our sensor were added in, so I put my hand in front of the camera to lower the ISO and lo and behold it actually took a picture and made the capture sound instead of hang on taking the picture like it usually does. But after that it just hung and didn't save the picture, so you're right that the camera isn't saving the image correctly.

At least we're making some progress. I think we have the same camera hardware as the Galaxy Tab and I believe it has CM10.1 so it might be worth having a look at their source or just trying to use their drivers as I think they also have the Exynos 3 single SoC

Good idea. We were using the Galaxy Tab camera HAL before so looking at their source could help. Hopefully we won't have to mess with the kernel to fix this; camera drivers have always been a pain for me

Turns out the GTab has the same rear facing camera, but different front facing so we might have to mix and match some code between the Nexus S, SGS and the GTab. I'll have a quick look through Jackpotclavins repo to try and locate the save image method for both cameras, but it makes no sense to have 2 different methods of doing so, unless the FFC does something odd before saving the image
