Wifi seems to drop on and off frequently. Have 2 galaxy player 5's and have wiped everything with fresh 5.0.1 installs. Problem still there. Just me?

The wifi drops might be due to the wifi drivers not being so great. Try flashing a different kernel. There's a setting in the wifi menu which is ticked automatically where it disconnects you from wifi if the signal strength is poor to save battery. Try turning that off

Just to give an update:
I think I found that setting. Ticked it but no luck. Also tried Mercuris Reborn and Sultan with it but no luck. USA model.

Does this happen on cm10.1? I didn't change any Wi-Fi related stuff so everything should work fine. I'll have a look in a couple of hours when I get back to my computer

I don't think that there was a problem with WiFi dropping in cm10.1 (its working fine for me right now, too). But there was an issue where a small group of users were unable to use WiFi at all. That issue I believe has since been resolved

i believe it did around the first few builds but as iurnait mentioned it was resolved later on. I do not have this problem with the latest PAC.
Any logs you need i can provide.

and something thats REALLY odd is that this never happened in 5.0.0 =)

I just flashed with CWM recovery. I chose the kernel that was suitable for my device.Like INTL and USA.
also yeah I had to wipe a few things.All of the stuff to wipe is in the installation instruction.

I didn't have any time today to look at the wifi problem so I'll try and look at it tomorrow. Do the wifi drops occur constantly or only when doing a certain activity? If its getting to a point where the signal is dropping too frequently, downgrade to 5.0.0 while I try and fix this. I didn't change anything wifi related between mk 0 and mk 1 so everything should work just fine

    Superb rom, but there is no FM Radio app :(
    Spirit FM is not working.

    It should work. Just fiddle with the settings.



    I had my last exam today, but now the real work begins :p. I'm free-ish until Wednesday so I should be able to get a new release out by then. After Wednesday I'll be on holiday so I won't be developing, but I'll still be answering questions and trying to help from abroad. Once I'm back, I'll be working on some camera stuff amongst other things so this should be an eventful summer

    Edit:

    Check out this bootanimation by one of our team members. I can add it as an option in Aroma installer, but I'm wary of making the download file too large, but if you guys don't mind a few more MB, I'll include it in the zip

    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
