Dont flash CSC,amss_phone .That way you could save your radio as well .!!!!

Yes!. I flash the phone. Sorry kara but the rom is still too green. In the first hour, the phone reboot one time and freez two times. It is more fast than the official KD4. Very smooth. Recently freez when i copying my music to the phone.Anyway...the phone run like forrest.I feel sorry return to the previous rom but the phone reboot and freez too much.

I hope new versions guys!. Tell me where i can help. Cheers.

 

[karandpr]

OK .But you were too hasty to revert back . **** I wanted to run some tests .Do you have Set CPU .Change governor to Conservative that fixes the reboot cycle.
USB transfer has hitches you say .Hmm very interesting ,but it's a start and we need people to point out bugs .

How you can help : --

1.)Just use this ROM for four hours .
2.)Use SetCPU,Ti backup , and any other busybox based app together .
3.)Shut down the phone and check whether the screen switches off.
4.)Use Link2SD/dta2SD on ext4 partition of SD card

 

[kraka23]

Ok!. I will use the rom more time in the name of justice!!!. Let me install the setcpu and test the "conservative" setting. Thank Kara!!

Well the more bugs we find ,the more will be patched . use the SEt CPU on boot to avoid further loops.

I will not try it yet ! But i got to say thanks to put your work into this im sure i will use a stable version! Try making a tutorial on how to flash our phone! Once again

Tks a lot for the effort

 

[MajinkenSword]

yup. been using it for a day. many thanks.

aside from bluetooth, ive experienced d phone resetting itself after uninstalling a system app thru ti-b. didnt do that before the switch. the same thing goes when i do a group install using easy installer. you also hve to install setcpu first before running easy installer since the phone will hang and reset if you dont.

will give more updates once available.

I specifically created it for people who know to use Odin.
I can post a tutorial but there are serious legal issues involved in publishing the tutorial without the permit of samsung.
Odin is used as Level 1 repair tool in samsung !!!
You can head to samfirmware.com and they have flash guide specifically for 551.
We cant make a stable version if dont know what makes this version unstable.

Thank you for using our ROM.
It will nice of you to mention which system app .
Does easy installer use busybox ?

Double post

 

[MajinkenSword]

Im not sure if Easy Installer uses busybox, sorry.

On the other hand, system apps would include Market, Bookmark and Messaging apps. I normally remove TW and exchange it with ADW Launcher EX.

Hope we can resolve the bluetooth issue soon. Im still stress testing ur rom. Will upd8 1s I see more. I really like the 667 feature.

What freq did u uas default? It seems a little unstable imho.

Thanks again and regards.

667 Mhz since three days . Never crashed and lets be honest .I have a standard 30 app test(I use only 30-40 apps regularly ).If those 30 apps work then the phone seems to work for me.I cant test all 100000 apps on the phone you know !!!

As a matter of fact I just uninstalled Twlauncher and Samsung apps .No hitch noticed !!!

Understood.

I wonder why mine occasionally resets when I perform those I mentioned earlier.

Overall, I'm happy and satisfied save for the bluetooth feature. Thanks again

I have a rough idea of what has happened.It is a serious bug ..WIll have to push the release of 0.4 forward .

 

[MajinkenSword]

I'll try to perform a data/cache wipe once I get home and redo my system app settings.

Will report as soon as possible.
