[Q] [ROM][GSM]AF974-JQ8-Edition C BT - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody.
I installed 2.3.6 rom by af974 everything is great, fast, and smooth. no bugs in default browser or camera, or market, even the phone.
but I have one serious problem which is whenever I turn the bluetooth on the tab will restart immediately and continue a loop of restarts, after several attempts I managed to fastly turn the bluetooth off and it became stable again.
Btw, I was on overcome 7 and I directly update to the new rom from recovery, and I remained on overcome kernel 4.0.
now what can I do to get bt working again 'cause I always use mw600 headset with my tab. I tried to install the rom again, wiping cache and delvic cache but the problem still the same.
thanks in advance

Reboot into recovery
->storage menu->mount system->format system->mount again system-> reflash rom again
i don't have bt reboots here.

Thank for your kind reply AF974
By the way I already did what you told me, but I did it again, but the problem persists, do think the problem with bluetoothopp.apk, can you provide me with it so I can install it.
this rom is so great and I don't want to change it, please give me support.
thank you in advance.

I can give you that apk but it is not your problem, which kernel are you using?

I will upload a new kernel tomorrow based on last JQ8 initramfs, maybe it will help with some BT and WIFI problems, honestly i didn't try with Overcome kernel when i tested my BT.

Thank you for the great ROM
yesterday I took the long safe way to eleminate all bugs, so I backed up my data and restock the tab and do a full wipe, then install your kernel, then install the rom(download it again from another link to be sure its ok)
now everything is super fast, no bugs, and now I don't need cpu tuner anymore.
thank you for your time answering my endless Qs??? but this is the last one, I promise.
I use touchwiz, how can I install the program monitor widget only, I don't need the rest of apps. sorry but I am new to android.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I'm glad that you solved the problem
You can use adb or either copy the apk to you sd card and with a root file explorer copy it to system/app.
With adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push SamsungWidget_ProgramMonitor.apk system/app

No GPS
Been using FastyII since v1.5 (which was not that long ago). Exceptional ROM; however, I've never been able to get a GPS lock. I read the other posts regarding this issue, but can't find a solution. As a matter of fact, lbstestmode is not be found. What am I missing?

No luck. Just tried that along with several other "GPS Fix" apps. For GPS Aids, the XTRA (native mode) fails so I tried using it in "forced mode". Still nothing. Curious why I can't start lbstestmode.

Hmm you might have a captivate with a really bad gps .(hardware)
Where can I download v2? I'm running 1.9 now and loving it. The best battery I've had, ever. I'm getting 15 to 19 hours usage with ~2hrs display and 1-2hrs talk. The same basic setup since the day I bought it (7/10), multiple gmail accts, wifi and bluetooth on and display set to automatic.
3G problem
Hello I love the ROM. I had Fasty 2.5 but changed to Fasty II 1.9. Now my Browser dont work in 3G, yes in WIFI, also the Opera Mobile, but Opera mini works OK and other software that use 3G like Market and Slingplayer also work OK.
Thanks!
Check out my post here about my GPS issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17574640#post17574640
Loaded Fusion V and have GPS back. But, I prefer FastyII...
So Far So Good
I haven't had a chance to really test drive the ROM yet, but things are looking fine thus far. There is a small bug. I have the honey smoke theme. I noticed that when I go to make a wifi connection and enable auto rotate (when entering WEP key) I have to manually go into settings in order to turn it off again. The drop down auto-rotate button won't work. Nothing major. Keep up the good works guys!
App kill
3rd day on fasty.. no issues.. Excellent battery life
I miss the CM7 feature which kills the current app by long press Back button. If possible, could you please add that in the next version
I have a problem, sometimes I try to open an app and looks like crash or something because reboot the phone, was with latitude, TouchPal keyboard trying to open it and the last was trying to read a text .

Hello Im currently have my captivate running on cyanogen mod-7.1.0-RC1 (2.3.4). I would like to switch over to fastyv2.0(2.3.4). I have looked everywhere on this site to see if I can just flash it from my sd card or if I needed to take other steps to make the switch to this rom? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Last I checked fasty 2 thread is closed, and I lack the link to dl atm. But on cyanogen you should flash to stock. And get GB bootloaders if you dont have them. Also If you dont havr bootloaders id recommend flashing jf6 or kb1 (based on your phones build). After on stock flash GB bootloaders and then flash boogs kh3 kernel, then cwm rom. Alternatvly you can flash stock kh3, but i still recommend jf6 or kb1 first.
Im not on my computer so dont have links sorry

You need cwm. The esiest way to get it is flashing boogs kh3 kernel, DesingGears cog5 step 2 kernel (kf1) or any kernel with cwm.

[ROM][STOCK] P7500JJKJ6 Stock Rom (Android 3.2)

At last, Android 3.2 is HERE for the P7500!
First and formost I want to thank "brucewein" for having the magic device, "advocator" for helping us obtain the system dump, and Israel for releasing the first 3.2 rom for the P7500!
Now on to the goods...this is a CWM flashable zip. It is a rooted stock rom. With the exception of root capability, there is no other mods to this.
Install Instructions
Download the P7500JJKJ6_Stock_Rom.zip install file
Put the install zip on to your internal storage
Reboot into recovery
Perform a data wipe (Optional, but HIGHLY recommended)
Install the zip
Reboot
Enjoy 3.2!

torn between flashing this and waiting for the Overcome release thanks for posting!!
Update
Flashed the ROM from Overcome (without the recommended data wipe)
Rebooted just fine - Root works fine.
Apps seem OK, launcher homepage was a jumble of the old and new
On the whole, everything seems fine - dont know about 3G yet (dont have a 3g sim plugged in) - will update later. Thanks again to all who worked on bringing this out!
i will wait for overcome as well
yup, flashed it no wipe, messed up my homescreen, but my apps are all good thanks much, can't wait for overcome

Downloaded and tested ... But I come back to Overcome 1.2.3, waiting for your custom Overcome !
@dan-htc-touch : there are only English and Hebrew languages, this is a branded ROM from ... I can not read hebrew, but their open/close animation is HORIBLE !
love the animation, think I'm going to keep it
Ohhhhh. It's still got TouchWiz. Bummer. I was hoping for straight up Honeycomb.
Will it support danish when it is loaded in to overcome ?
Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with touchwiz on 3.2. that's why I haven't updated, I'm not a fan of touchwiz.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Either this rom isn't for the P7500 EUR or doesn't support European networks. Mobile Network Settings are greyed out after flashing.
EDIT: Hate the boot and power off animation. Looks like they picked it up from a childrens TV program.
3g works
Just a quick note to say 3g works. I'm using this in India.
Any suggestions on how to get Cwm going on this?
Is it possible to use english but the apps in german?

3G works fine for me on this build. This is also a newer build then the one Wifi version is built on. Build date for this firmware is October 31. browser is just as bad as in wifi version of 3.2 if not worse. Thanks for bringing this to us Alterbridge. Looking foorward to Overcome version

Didn't want to try the Odin recovery because I presumed that it'd depend on 3.1 kernel. As you mentioned, ROM Manager works just fine - thanks
Is this data wipe means factory reset only or factory reset + wipe dalvik + cache ?
just curious .. Anybody try phone.apk on this 3.2 .. since Tablet 7+ using 3.2 is able to use phone call feature
Anyone tried yet the MoreLocale to see if more languages are present?
Thanks!

[Q] Galaxy Mini flashed, Issues appearing

Hi guys,
I'm new in this world and want to experiment
Yesterday I've rooted my Galaxy Mini with the universal root method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576202
That worked fine, than I installed the recovery using Odin Multidownloader v4.38 for GTS5570, Tass_v1.ops and Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.6.
And then used the ROM CM 7.2.0-RC2-tass.
Once that done, I noticed that I couldn't create my google account, after searching I had to flash gapps, then I could add my google account.
After that I noticed that there were no google apps such as play, gmail, apps...
I've downloaded the google play apk 3.5.15 but now each time I try to doanload an app it gives me an error "can't download... error 941"
I searched a lot again to fix but didn't succeed.
I'm thinking if it's possible to go back to the stock ROM instead of the CM7???
Or is there any other way to fix my issues???
Thanks a lot for your help
Wipe everything and reinstall cyanogen a gapps again
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
In fact after u flash Gaaps, u should go to settings > accounts and sync and then log to ur gmail account. The market will open (old market) ,exit it. Let ur wifi or net on, it will automatically update to google playstore and sometimes u can download just after or if u cant then reboot ur device.
If u have further questions or problems, feel free to ask. Welcome to the modding world =D
I did wipe everything and reinstall CM7
I've downloaded gapps, latest version that i found and flash it.
Ive added an account first which opened then google play and now it seems that I can download apps.
Thanks a lot guys for your help.
Just...
Just don't forget to wipe every after Rom installation to avoid errors with the new roms. Cheers!
Don't go back to stock Rom.
If you start using cm7 you wont go back

I don't like cyanmobile, because in the cm settings, there are some bugs. Like if I go to the lockscreen style, I get settings force close. It's the only reason why I don't use cyanmobile.

Try minisense v3.5... overall its a good rom, and fast with no lags. The only setback is the characters in the keyboard is blur, but the devs are fixing that as well and v4 will be out soon. Search for minisense v3.5 and hope that helped you.

[Q] i9000 w/ ICS 4.0.4, Cyanogenmod 9.1.0 - Wifi not working properly

Hi!
I'm fairly new to all this so granted I have made one or more mistakes.
My problem is wifi is only working on unprotected or WEP-based routers. WPA or higher, it only tries until forever and then gives up.
The problems are not belonging to the router(s). Several tried of the following brands: Cisco/Linksys E3200, E4200, Dlink DIR 655 etc.
All other equipment aswell as this phone before the upgrade today worked OK, all other equipment is also working OK except my phone.
What I did so far:
I followed the guide on cyanogenmod belonging to the Samsung Galaxy S Full Update Guide (but cannot post urls).
Then I applied the Cyanogenmod 9.1.0 (cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd.zip) aswell as the apps package (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip)
Each step fulfilled, every cache etc cleared including the dalvik cache.
Other than this, phone seems to work like a dream again :good:
I received no errors on any install or upgrade.
What may have gone wrong and how do I correct it?
Thankful for your insight and help.
GreatOcean
Have you retried reflashing cyanogenmod? Don't touch anything, just go into recovery and flash the zip with the right version of cyanogenmod again.
Nope but I definately will early in the morning. I can't find any better solution so thanks for suggesting it

[Q] Stuck with Ginerbread 2.3.6, Slowdown. Need Help

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.
Cheers

No reply?!
Could anyone please help?
Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )

if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom
root your firmware , choose the right cf-root from this thread

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?

Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.

Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
