[ALPHA][ROM][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Galaxy SL - Alpha 9

[acuicultor]

@loSconosciuto I tried this method and it is fully working. Replaced file - vold, set permissions - rwxr-xr-x, rebooted the phone. Now I'm normally connected to a computer in a mode of UMS. Thank you very much for your help!


It works flawesly here too.
Thanks devs for help.

Hi I have everything working fine! Phone is connected to a computer with no problems, it is seen internal and external memory. Normally I do any action on the files. Try to activate the debugging via USB.

put it on my sd card-> move to system/bin/-> set permission to rwxr-xr-x -> go to Setting -> Storage -> press Menu button -> select UMS mode -> go to developer options -> tick USB debugging -> reboot

Note: didn't work cause vold file corrupt

Thanks for sharing the file. Actually I don't know how to implement this and gone through http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1857648 which helped me

Below is the process which may help noobs like me

1. Move this file to system/bin/
2. Long press on the file to open a pop up menu
3. Tap 'Permissions'
4. Give permissions accordingly as rwxr-xr-x
5. Reboot

I tried and still I am unable to connect my mobile as Mass Storage. Please help if it works

Thanks

Hey guys, first of all, amazing rom! absolutely gorgeous. Thanks dhiru!

What I would like to ask is that on alpha 7 of this rom, on my device, I am experiencing that launcher performance is way better, no laggy transitions, but gaming performance has been really reduced, and scrolling in lists is like it has a low fps cap on it, compared to CM10 imo. I know this is probably not the case and i'm doing something wrong but I can't figure it out. This lag I am experiencing doesn't make sense after reading dozens of posts that say otherwise, that the phone is buttery smooth!

Subway surfers lags like it has been capped to 20fps when on CM10 I remember it use to run very fast but it did have lag in the launcher, although cm10's scroll lists did not lag. Is it something to do with what display I have on my SL? I don't have backlight issue but if the display does make a difference then it would be great if someone could give me the command to run in terminal to see my display manufacturer :highfive:

Thanks, and again thank you very much dhiru and devs for your amazing work! :good: :good: :good:

EDIT: Also if its of any use, I flashed alpha 7 straight from JPKPE with Bam 15 kernel.
EDIT2: I have Sony panel, if that is any info of use.

Hi. For information about the display you will find here.

Hello Dhiru:
I can confirm the latest changes LoSconosciuto did to avoid reseting DSS clocks on init actually work and the splash screen blink when booting has dissapeared.
Regards,
David.

Pretty fast master!!! I'm on it!!

 

[ageback]

Now updated to A8!
I didn't have screen flash issue. But the 720p recording is still laggy and hope Master dhiru can fix it in next release. On the other hand 480p recording is much smoother.

Yeah finally, Screen doesnt flashing anymore and the rom seems quite smooth than alpha 7. I didnt test the videorecording because i dont use it. Anyway i found a bug on alpha 7 already mentioned in another post, with wechat the videocall doesnt work properly, the camera doesnt go in preview and i asked @loSconosciuto for this. He told me that was a preview problem and he built for me a test fix for the camera, it works but with the front camera the image is in orizontal instead vertical as it should be. Please if you have time @dhiru1602 take a look on this.

Thanks for all.

Most likely the app is forcing the orientation to work correctly with stock ROMs. I spent some time trying to understand why certain apps show the preview correctly and others don't, until I decompiled Skype. With Skype, everytime the preview is started, that's what I get in my logcat

W/VH_DirectDisplayRenderer(12987): setRenderParameters: rotation=[COLOR="Red"]180[/COLOR] flipHorizontally=true => m_rotation=[COLOR="Red"]180[/COLOR]

and that's what I found in the decompiled code:

      else if (Build.MODEL.equals("GT-I9003"))
      {
        Log.i("RaiderVideo", str + "for GT-I9003");
        paramConfigurations.SetValue("AndroidHardwareCameras_direct_preview_supports_orientation", "false");
        paramConfigurations.SetValue("AndroidHardwareCameras_force_ffc_orientation", "180");
        paramConfigurations.SetValue("AndroidHardwareCameras_ffc_frames_orientation_adjustment", "90");
      }

Which means: "if it's a Galaxy SL, rotate the preview".

EDIT:
Try to edit your build.prop, replacing GT-I9003 with something else. You could try with GT-I9003L, which is the south american version of the Galaxy SL, just to fool apps but yet to be able to update the ROM without worrying about assert_failed errors. Of course, if the apps also added also the I9003L, you have to set something else, but then you have to remember that if you want to update the ROM, you have to restore the original string in the build.prop, otherwise CWM won't allow you to flash it.
I look at the the updater-script better. CWM looks for "ro.product.device", so, as long as you don't change it, you'll be able to update without problems. Apps most likely will look for "ro.product.model" or "ro.product.name", change those two.
EDIT 2:
It also seems that for certain devices, such as GT-I9001, Skype looks also for the version of Android running. I guess we could ask for something similar, only stock firmwares, running Android 2.3 or older, need the rotation of the preview.

Upgraded!

I've just upgraded to alpha 8. Great @dhiru1602!

Alpha 8 - 31072013
Fix issues with backlight turning on and off for few users
Fix bootimage fade away.
Fix USB Mass Storage.
Upstream changes.

Tested ok:
* Fix bootimage fade away.
* Fix USB Mass Storage.

Not previously affected:
* Fix issues with backlight turning on and off for few users

Detected bugs:
* Restarting to Recovery Mode hangs in "Restarting..." until the home button is pressed.
* Cameringo (a 3rd party camera app) crashes at start, as reported in post 866.
This is the fix.
And, as workaround, this zip can be flashed from Recovery.
Fixes from @loSconosciuto

PD: The spanish translation of File Manager app has several annonying errors (which can lead to delete files for error), does anybody know how to contact the cm devs (or translate team)?

Any person registered in the Cyanogenmod Gerrit code review server can push changes to the code. I'll have a look at the strings on the CMFileManager project to detect the mistranslated strings (if you could send me a DM with the problems you've seen it would be great), fix them and send them back for the CM team to revise them.

EDIT: I've already submitted the changes. See this for cm-10.1, and this for cm-10.2.

Great, but you didn't change (they aren't in the xml) the untranslated strings.
Also the "Copiar aquí" instead of "Pegar aqui" isn't solved.

Edit: I've already PM you. After reading your changes, is obvious that you speak spanish... I suffered a lot trying to explain you in english what was wrong with the translation... Hating you...

WoW...ALPHA8!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you master dhiru1602

Well, I now answered your PM before reading this hahah
And yes, I speak spanish. I'm making the changes I forgot and will push them again.
And, please, leave this here, this is an upstream problem, nothing to do with this thread, thanks
