[rentboy71]

In my case 3rd party apps namely Play Music and ES file manager player are not able to play any mp3 files. All mp3 ringtones remain silent as well. Clean install on i9192.

Hi F4K,

some of app was unable to install via playstore, would you mind to advise how to fix this?

many thanks

sim 2 ring

Hello.
I still got issues with sim 2 calls ring. sim 1 ring ok, sim 2 no sound.
Is it a related bug?

 

[FearFac]

I have the same experience. Carbon ROM in latest version (20141102) drains battery twice as fast as standard Cyanogen or MOKEE ROM. Going back to Cyanogen.

 

[Synysfet]

I have an issue with this rom or im just dumb.

I can't remove app icons from the desktop nor i can remove widgets...
Is there something in settings i have overlooked ?

Is there something in settings i have overlooked ?

Same problem i encountered i9192...i tried to clean install the rom and during the first start up i can see the
"remove"(forgot the word) when i tap and hold the icon..after a few minutes i cannot see anymore the remove...but what i did is i tap and hold the icon and moved on the top of the screen and when the icon become color red ..release and it will gone.

Is there any solution in call setting?? It always FC. (I9192).....thankyou

Solve all your problems with SD card permissions on KitKat roms:

1. Format your SD card to ext4 or f2fs.

2. Unpack boot.img, and change fstab.build like so:
Code:
# Android fstab file.
# The filesystem that contains the filesystem checker binary (typically /system) cannot
# specify MF_CHECK, and must come before any filesystems that do specify MF_CHECK

#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags and options> <fs_mgr_flags>
#SYS_ISEXT4/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 ro,barrier=1,errors=panic wait
#SYS_ISF2FS/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system f2fs ro,discard,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,inline_xattr,flush_merge,errors=recover wait
#CACHE_ISEXT4/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache /cache ext4 nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,journal_async_commit,errors=panic wait,check
#CACHE_ISF2FS/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache /cache f2fs discard,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,inline_xattr,flush_merge,errors=recover wait,nonremovable
#DATA_ISEXT4/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data ext4 nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,journal_async_commit,errors=panic wait,check,encryptable=footer,length=-16384
#DATA_ISF2FS/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data f2fs rw,discard,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,inline_xattr,flush_merge,errors=recover wait,nonremovable,encryptable=footer,length=-16384
#SD_ISEXT4/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/media/0/ ext4 nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,journal_async_commit,errors=panic wait,check,encryptable=footer,length=-16384
#SD_ISF2FS/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/media/0/ f2fs rw,discard,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,inline_xattr,flush_merge,errors=recover wait,nonremovable,encryptable=footer,length=-16384
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot /boot emmc defaults defaults
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery /recovery emmc defaults defaults
#/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /storage/sdcard1 ext4 nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc,data=writeback,errors=remount-ro wait,check,encryptable=footer,length=-16384

# vold managed volumes
#/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host auto auto defaults wait,voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto
/devices/platform/msm_hsusb_host/usb1 auto auto defaults wait,voldmanaged=usbdisk:auto
3. Repack the boot.img and flash it to the phone in Download mode.


Now your external card is treated by the phone as your internal card.



I did what you said but instead of flashing boot.img in download mode(i didn't know how) i used an app from playstore. I'm using f2fs on all my partitions (incl. ext sd card),
1.but i don't really understand how to put obb files on the ext sd card and make them work.
2.or how to symlink it.
3.or maybe i need a second partition on my ext sd card,but i tried to format it to ext 2,3,4 fat 32,
and in Link2SD says :Mount Script cannot be created.failed on '/system/bin/debggerd'-Read-only file system.


I searched the past 2 days and i didn't find the solution.Please help,i really like this rom .

Solved:With FolderMount

SOME ISSUES on i9192

Hi F4K,

thanks for your work, this has provide my i9192 with great performance and long battery life.
For the time being, I have tested 20141012, 20141019 but fails on following issue, so I switch back to 20140727

issues:
1) GPS fail
2) MP3 fail to play by most apps (reason found hardward decode fail)
3) Dialer -> Setting -> should be 'Subscription Setting' (instead of multi sim)
4) when Phone in use (via handheld) on sim 1 , a 2nd calls in sim1 (call waiting feature is on), there is no alerting sound , hence making lost of important calls. (however, if using headphone, u will see the screen does shows there is a new incoming calls, but only when u have a glance at the phone, otherwise, u will lost the important call as well)

As it takes me a lot time in upgrade, downgrade, and porting in user data, I am not able to spare time for tesing on this new version at the moment.

If anyone happen to flashed 20141116, please do me a favour , let me know if you have above issues, thanks in advance

kindest regards
billy

20141116 zip file CRC error

hi dear F4K,

Just to let you know the 20141116 Zip file is having CRC error on unzip.

By the way, May I know if the issue I mentioned before fixed ?
1) GPS fail
2) MP3 fail to play by all player(founded it is hardware decode does not work, if switch to software decode it works)
3) Phone Dialer -> Setting -> should be 'Subscription Setting' (instead of Multi-Sim which cause error on click)
4) In coming new waiting call no sound Alerting while a call is in talking (both on sim 1, and call waiting service is subscripted)

thanks
billy
