[Q] ICS without Low on Space bug?

CM9, AOSP, Slim, AOKP... all of them suffer the same issue.
I'm not talking about running some scripts to overcome it (because all have some issues), isn't till now any rom without that bug?
Thanks!

Found but has workaround.
I'm not sure that I found same issue as you found or not.
My scenario is:
When update titanium backup some time it show low space left on device or something like space not enough so the workaround is :
use root explorer to delete your_app.odex in my case is titanium....odex at /data/app
if system app go to /system/app
then i can install app without error.
I also found this issue with another app but not often.
Hope this help ^^.

Elite has a datafix version of the rom which is reported to work well.

I will check Elite, but I'm quite skeptical about it.
No fix in CM9 nighties?

There will never be a fix. There's only a certain amount of space avaliable on the NAND.
So you can:
Install fewer apps
Move some to SD
Change Gmail synced days
Use one of the "fixes"

This is pretty much why samsung isn't upgrading our phone.

Official CM10

I want to know that the official cm10 has any bugs??
On cm website they call it stable.

The best way to know would be to read their thread (last few pages and OP) as well as trying it for yourself.

Not entirely sure if it's related to CM, but only on the latest stable (10.0) I've had issues with my WiFi not wanting to stay connected, even on a strong connection.
Everything else works great!

I just installed it yesterday. Problem with mine was that the ASOP keyboard not working. Luckily I just dled teh swiftkey.apk a day earlier. Play store wasn't working for me either and the browser just open and close. That's all i tried. I'm going back to CM9 til I know whats wrong and back up some data.
I installed the stable cm10 and the gapps. Hope others dont run in to the same problem as me

Did you restore your apps or app data? That would most likely cause this problem. Or flashing the wrong gapps.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

No, once I got cm10 installed. I was trying to change some of the settings and found "keyboard(ASOP) stopped working" or some error message along the line of that when I try to enter wireless password. After installing swiftkey, I tried opening play store and it just have "server error"
So I haven't gotten to getting titanium backup yet to restore apps
I just took the latest gapps (the first link on the list), so I'm not sure if that's the right one. I'll try again during the weekend. I'll let you guys know if it goes well.

I'm on CM 10 latest stable build, 4.1.2. Came from GB kk4 plus corn 7 kernel. with latest gapps. I use touchpal keyboard.
I have TiBU pro, but rather than batch install apps, I went though google play to install apps, then selectively restored data on apps with TiBU as needed. While this took some time with this approach (96 apps), CM10 is flawless, virtually no probs at all. it actually seems more stable than before.
at times a little laggy but not a showstopper.

(edit: added keyboard info)

UPDATE: Just flashed to CM10 stable. I found out that the GAPPS I used last time was actually for CM10.1.0 while the CM10 that is out is only CM10.0.0
Be sure to get the right version of GAPPS. The latest one they have is for CM10.1.0

Looks like I'm the unlucky one den. I'm about to try again. I'm using cm's 3.0.8-g2311908 kernel.
Wish me luck.

you are correct, you want the 10.0.0 version from goo, which points to gapps 4.2, backward compatible to 4.1.

thats what I used. I guess the 4.2 set the 'latest' bit in my brain.

[Q] Upgrading Pandoriam (and custom roms in general)

This is a n00b question...
Pandoriam is the first custom rom I've installed. I've recently got a Telstra 4G SGS3 after being an iPhone jailbreak user for years. Love Android, love the Samsung and very pleased with how relatively easy it was to root, back everything up with Titanium Backup Pro and install a custom rom.
However, there are a number of quirks I encountered when restoring my apps + data, and there are a bunch of things I had to do after each reinstall of the rom (I needed to change a few options so I ended up wiping and reinstalling a few times).
So I'm wondering whether when the next Pandoriam version comes out I'll have to do a full wipe of data? Hoping not
And on that point, how frequently do Pandoriam updates come out?
PS Posting partially because I don't yet have the privileges to post in the dev forums. I was going to reply in the latest Pandoriam thread about photo sphere on Telstra i9305 (with Perseus kernel and Pandoriam v5) - it works for me (although it's patched together a bit weird, but I think that's the limitations of photo sphere).

Hahah that was my post about sphere mode, what you just told me makes it even harder for the dev now though
It is NOT required for you to wipe all your data every reflash but is RECOMMENDED
You can easily backup data by doing a nandroid backup (an option in CWM ClockWork Recovery aka recovery mode once you've flashed it on) and you can select what applications and what data you want to restore from (via AppExtractor so make sure to install that during the setup of Pandoriam); that making the whole reflash a 10 minute or so job
Having such a great and interactive developer leaves him to update the ROM regularly but that still doesn't mean you have to get every version as I know I just waiting on 4.0 for v5
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

Cool, thanks. I asked because I got the impression that mainly you had to wipe when changing roms, but when upgrading you didn't need to.
Would prefer to play it safe though!
I've done a nandroid backup too but I thought that was more so you could recover back to your old configuration in toto. Good to know you can get back specific apps from that too - although to be honest, Titanium Backup's flashable update zip is pretty handy!

Also don't forget to backup your IMEI as a precaution

So regarding btemtd's latest post... if he does release a 5.1 version, which sounds like it would be a typical incremental release, would it probably be safe not to do a wipe, but just install on top? :cyclops:
This would be nice, obviously. To be honest, the only issue I'm coming across right now with the latest Pandoriam is Google+ not working, and I don't really use it.
For background: with quite a few other apps I had to uninstall and reinstall from the Play store before they would work.
With Google Talk, it wasn't logging my accounts in, and I found the solution somewhere else on the xda forums. Deleted the Google accounts, then went to Google Services Framework in all apps and hit "Clear data". Then recreated the accounts, and everything was hunky dory. It could work without deleting the accounts but I think not.
Perhaps I could've stopped all these problems if I'd properly cleared all the caches before flashing the rom - I did a wipe data/factory reset but I now realise there are other caches to clear in CWM!
Edit: Ah, just discovered a problem. The SMS threading issue is there with ChompSMS as well. I don't use the stock messages program, so I hadn't tested. This is definitely an issue for me. Damn.

OK, update: I am considering swapping to Ripper Rom just to see how it is, but now that I'm using Pandoriam I'm on a 4.1.2 build, so does that mean I need to flash the XXELKC versions because otherwise I'd be downgrading?
Maybe I should just be patient regarding the message threading issue instead, and wait for a Pandoriam update

If your apps do that then use fix permissions in clockwork recovery
It would completely rely on the changelog of the ROM, if you were to just flash over though, there were just small changes and you chose the same themes then it wouldn't leave so much crap on your phone but it's still recommended to do a wipe to avoid random issues that would require a wipe down the road

Thanks heaps for your replies, Magik_Breezy.
I've now discovered that I must have chosen (without any real reason) the AOSP messenger option in Aroma when installing Pandoriam.
So I'm going to re-flash with stock messenger. I'll try this without wiping (if that's not an idiotic idea) and see what happens! :good:

I didn't even wipe from stock initially but some apps can duplicate etc
Make sure to give back to the xda community in anyway you can

Trying I do hope other n00berly-n00bs find this conversation if they're looking for similar advice!
I just installed the same Pandoriam on top of the current installation, chose stock messaging and a few other minor alterations. No problems have occurred!
Going back to stock messages means that new messages are threading nicely. :good: However, the old ones which came in have remained on their lonesome. Minor point.

You should ONLY wipe if problems occur after flashing, otherwise you are just wasting your time.
Even if you encounter a "soft brick" or a bootloop, the recovery would still be accessible and you could factory reset to fix it anyways.. This stuff nowadays is relatively safe.

Thanks Skander1998, that's great to hear! I was taking all those warnings seriously, and I guess it's worth stating to cover those eventualities.
Anyway, having just re-flashed with no problems, I'll continue like that, and take your advice that if I get bootloops or problems I can always boot back into recovery.
Very happy with the latest state of my Pandoriam rom'd SGS3.

A heap of crap will accumulate on your device and apps will double
It's also always best to follow what the dev says as he is the one who truly knows everything that goes on behind the scenes
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

Fair enough! I would imagine for small updates of the same rom it's fine not to wipe, but changing roms it'd be crazy.
I'll keep an eye out for apps doubling.

[Q] Updating Cyanvivo 10.1

Hello, I am happily running Cyanvivo 10.1 (thanks developers!). I know there is an update due out soon, and this was my first time installing a custom rom. My question is, knowing that OTA isn't supported, when the update comes out will have have to wipe and re-flash, loosing everything, or is there an easier process saving my data? I looked around for the answer some but have not found it as of yet. Thanks!

The way I do it, I use SMS Backup&Restore and Titanium Backup. When I finish saving all my files, reboot into recovery, wipe everything but the SD card, and flash the ROM. When it boots up and setup is finished, then I just restore everything back using the apps listed previously.
Of course you can just dirty-flash if you're lazy but don't expect help if you run into problems. The only place where a dirty-flash should not be done is if:
1. You're switching ROM (ex. you are going from CyanVivo10.1 to SVHD v1.7.1)
2. It's the same ROM but it has a different base.

yes it is. I wrote this post before I went to the development to see PACman
I recommend PACman ROM as well due to its immense number of features (CM+AOKP+AOSPA)(CyanogenMod, Android Open Kang Project, Parnaoid Android).
That is if you don't mind the occasional bug here and there.

[Q] Looking for a howto

I own a Samsung Ace GT-S5830, it is currently running Cyanogenmod 7. CyanogenMod-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-cooper I did this a few months ago and I would like to flash it back to Android. As this was done a while back I have lost all of my bookmarks. Could someone please point me to some instructions to do this.

Wrong section mate! There is a great Q&A Thread!
...
1. You should read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768181
2. Backup your current rom using CWM (do it via recovery)
3. Use Titanium Backup to save your bookmarks, or the data files from which ever app (even you can save de apk)... if you use Titanium Backup then when you restore the data you might face troubles in different roms (4.2.2 / 4.3).
4. To backup all your contacts use contacts app to export all of them to your sd
Now you are ready to flash a fresh stock or another custom rom

Do you feel the wi-fi slow compared with others cyanogenmod roms or the stock rom?
I used the nightlys of january, february and march (all) and my phone have slow wi-fi

CM7 ROMs are not totally bug-free. There have been GPS issues with several ROMs in the past. Also I till the date have never been able to use the phone on CM7 as a modem for computer as the modem (phone) doesn't respond. Also minute but Wi-Fi issues that prevailed previously seem to be sorted out eventually but expect no optimization.
If you want speed & stability with all the working features, use the stock based ROMs.
