Recently I went back to a stock looking android ROM.
For now I've chosen Improvement v5 ultralite + Dark Core Kernel v 2.7.3.
Everything with the ROM works just fine, but the stock theme still bothers me.
I've downloaded 3 different themes for JVB. Everytime I try to install the .zip through CWM (v3.0.2.whatever) it tells me E:/*path* couldnt be opened (bad). installation aborted... (or something similar).
Tried to install some apps through CWM (>gtalk 1.3b) and it worked just like it should. Flashing other ROMs also worked out fine with that new version of CWM.
Does anyone know whats wrong?!
btw I used a MIUI ROM before...
Thank you in advance
Sounds like it could be a legacy left from miui, maybe try a clean instal?

When you say android rom do you mean aosp, or sammy rom?
Insanity cm 012/glitch
Its based on a samsung rom.
I did a full wipe before. I've started from a froyo based Rom (darkys resurrection) with re-partion, then flashed a samsung jvb rom with bootloaders and finally the custom rom. Did I miss something?

Btw I didnt format the internal sd card, so the content is still the same there.
Anyway I didnt have any problems since the new flash...its just that I cant install themes...

I'm not familiar with miui, so might be worth having a check over there with regard to info on reverting back to samcrap rom

Hey dont blame the samsung roms I swapped back because I needed full working 720p recording and better battery life...I hate the stock rom's ui but its the only way to go since I wanted a phone for everyday use with everything working...
Do you have an instruction for rolling back from cm/miui? I still didnt find anything...thanks for your attention mate

I agree with your sentiments, unfortunately no knowledge of reverting procedures but will keep my eyes peeled

Its funny...just found out the files were corrupted (<10kb). So I downloaded once again and it works now...surprise

Whenever I flash a custom ROM from stock eclair, the camera just doesn't work half the time. The camera app would open and it would just be a blank viewfinder. I found that closing and reopening the camera like 3 or 4 times fixes it temporarily. When I leave the phone sitting for a while and try to open the camera, it always opens with the blank viewfinder.
I tried searching about this but I guess it isn't a common issue at all, so if anyone can offer any advice I'd appreciate it

Well this really depends on the ROM you are flashing when coming from Eclair, which ROM did you try, and which kernel with that?
Well, I was on Team Hacksung's ICS build 17(icy glitch v14 b6), AOKP(same kernel), Doc's Master(the kernel that came with it), and Slim ICS 3.1(the kernel that came with it). I also tried a custom gingerbread ROM which I can't remember the name of atm.

OK, I think the problem is that all of the roms you've been flashing are ics builds and all of the ics builds for the galaxy s are ported at the moment, and because they are ported they don't always work. So my guess is that your camera doesn't work because of your ics builds, why don't you try a ROM built for captivate like fasty ROM or darky ROM or even cyanogenmod7?

I actually have tried cm7 but the camera would not open at all with that one.

None of the CM build are made for the captivate, try a rom built from stock and see if the issue happens on that. Maybe try legend rom from crt it is a very good rom based off of stock kk4.

I've tried flashing legend but that got me into a bootloop. I have successfully flashed Simply Stock, but I had the same camera issue.
This was a while ago, but I remember having camera problems as soon as I got the official gingerbread update from froyo. If I remember correctly the camera would always force close as soon as I opened it.
you must have a hardware problem.
camera works fine on ICS for the past 2 months at least. nothing but bad advice in this thread. i am running AOKP right now. used camera today.. used it now.. it works.
cm camera works fine, cm IS built for captivate, or in those thoughts... CM isnt built for any phone..??..
Well, I should also make it clear that the camera always seems to open with no problems on stock eclair or froyo, so yeah... it's a pretty strange case. I don't really want to trade everything else great about ICS and go back to froyo because of my ocd lol.

That's kind of what i meant lol its not a stock build.

Um, so is it unlikely I'll ever be able to fix this issue then?
Had same problem with every ICS rom I've tried. Seems camera only works with LCD density set to 220, at least on my phone. Check if it makes a difference on your phone. Under Settings > ROM Control> General UI> LCD Density
Can I get some help plz on choosing an 4.1.2 XXLSA rom to choose. plz let me know your experience on these roms.

Give this rom a try......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980506
I would definitely recommend Ultimate ROM. I've been using this ROM since XXLS7, which was already great for my daily usage, and now XXLSA is even better. The developer is a great guy, actively looks for issues users report and provides updates through an UpdateOTA system (directly from the ROM itself). Give it a try but be sure to make a full wipe (including formatting /system and /preload) before installing to avoid issues.
Not really sure how different they actually are from each other but I'll have to throw my hat into the ring for Ultimate too, I guess. The OTA fixes and mods are nice (for some reason Ultimate changed the default green to blue, but then gives you the option to download the default green theme, which I promptly did. Nice to have the choice!)
Stable, updated, seems like a good rom.
EDIT: I stripped a bunch of bloatware from Ultimate and now it is really zippy. No complaints about UI speed, but the dialer still takes a second or two to pop up.
Try
If you are comfortable with flashing now and then, then I suggest you try them all out one by one to see which one works for you.
I tried the Ultimate version 4 when it came out, then upgraded to its v5 - worked fine for about 2 days, then got bogged down and laggy, then totally ruined my experience.
Then I flashed eybee1970s [ROM] [JB] [4.1.2] Stock deodexed and rooted XXLSA / NEW Leak!, and that also worked for 2 days. Yesterday while using the phone with the Wi Fi on, phone date got changed to the year 2000, WhatsApp error appeared on the notification bar, and two minutes later, phone automatically restarted, but never got past the initial Samsung Galaaxy Note screen.
Tried everything from wiping and flashing different kernels, but to no avail. This morning, reflashed the same ROM after full wipes and format of the system/data/preload, reinstalled my apps, and is working fine for the moment. Will update at the end of today and tomorrow. Love the gallery with the rotating thumbnails and the multiwindow on this ROM.
Leaks are in fact, leaks - IMO, think we'd be better off waiting for the official Sammy update to JB (4.2 hopefully)
Good luck! :good:
Ultimate V5 is fine
I'm telling you now... there's not going to be a 4.2 leak.
The 4.1.2 is going to be the Swan Song.
However, there's heaps of support.
We'll definitely get 4.2 via AOSP-base and thereafter (Android 5.0 ?)
I'm quite happy with 4.1.2 leaks especially Ultimate ROM v4 (v5 many issues).
If I can get v4 with the Camera fix from v5 that would be awesome.
If I can get Miracast from Android 4.2 (AOSP or NOTE2) then it would be truly.... ULTIMATE!!
Does the airview work on the Spanner Widget for any of these XXLSA leaks ? For me it only works on the Splanner App
I've been using Cassie's XtraLite for the last 3 days and its superb. No problems with anything. Aroma install option allows you to easily ditch a fair chunk of bloat.

Hi all!
I'm working on a new ICS stock based ROM to follow up Zeus, but I'm encountering some problems that are stopping my work. I hope someone can help me.
As in previous ROMs, I do everything from scratch, so i don't use other compilations or kernels, so I have to do all the work from zero.
First problem: LGEIMEbin.apk... It works flawlessly on odexed rom, but it fails to work on deodexed one... Does the LG keyboard work well on V30B based DEODEXED roms? I have fixed it editing its smali code, but I think it should work 'as is' without additional modifications...
Second and HUGE problem: gmail and browser fails... I had the ROM ready to launch but gmail began to fail... You launch it well, but when you try to open a message... it takes a while thinking and the app is auto-killed. The same with browser... it tries to load home page but stucks the progress bar and then app is killed. When I reverted latest changes... the problem persisted... in the beggining it was solved with a reboot but in latest moments it failed all the time.
I've started all the work from scratch again... step by step... and the problem has appeared again... Reverting to a fully-working state is failing too and I don't know how to fix it...
Then, the questions are:
Does the LG keyboard work well on other deodexed V30B 'as is' without additional modding? What app/version are you using to deodex the rom? I'm on latest dsixda with latest smali/backsmali.
Did anybody experience problems with gmail and/or stock browser?
I'm starting to think that my ROM is entirely bad deodexed and its generating me a lot of problems.
Regards and thanks!
I am no developer but i am using tantrums rom which is deodexed and keyboard and gmail and everything is working flawlessly... may be you can ask him

Older version of smali/baksmali caused FC on Korean ICS Keyboard aswel, but your already using newest smali/baksmali?! You can try the new apktool - it uses baksmali/smali so it probably won't make a difference. (I use that mostly)
You can try and place the original ODEX files in the dalvik cache and see if the problems persists. After deodexing the generated odex files should be very similar anyway.
Don't know about the GMail and Browser. I'm on Official V30B with a few adjustments of my own.
Also on a unrelated note. The modified bootargs that the kernel boots with on V20 bootloader differs from that of the V30 bootloader. (The CRC arg doesn't get edited out on startup so that will probably stop it even if the V30 bootloader isn't locked)

Yeap... I'm using latest smali/baksmali... and I've sorted the keyboard problem changing a method from protected to public.
It could be a good idea to take the odex from dalvik... but I'm not fully sure that that info is the same... take into account that a odexed app needs al the odexed framework folder to deodex, so there are several dependencies between all the stuff while on a deodexed is fully independent.
Regarding gmail and browser... they aren't FCing... also, gmail is not original deodexed gmail... is the updated one... I'm afraid that everybody is using same version (becuase google play offers the update) so the problem is not in the app itself... I don't know why but the problem seems to be the same on both apps... cometimes they fail (and both apps fail) and sometimes not (both work)...
Regarding the bootloader args... that's solved... I'm pretty sure that my kernel is passing same args than stock V30B... I've checked it looking into dmesg.
Regards and thanks!

Good that you got it solved, sort of.
I am talking about V30B bootloader might be giving security error with CWM since CRC arg is still present after modding cmdline on boot. It really was a very unrelated note.
Now just we must wait for huexx release ^^, hopefully soon...

I haven't tried to use V30B bootloader... My solution uses V20S bootloader with V30B .fls, and after that flashed through CWM without problems.
I have installed stock V30B first, I've extracted the full kernel command line and I've recreated it on my kernel except the CRC part...
The problem must be in other place...

I have good idea for you Huexxx. Realase bugy rom with broken browser and google mail. But add dolphin and antoher mail client. Now you are thinking Im stupid. But in this way devs can easily check where is the problem and make a fix. First version of Zeus ISC must not be perfect. Just take a look on rrgrrrg Nemsis rom. On vesrion 5 get stable and without battery drain. You were helping us one year so we can help you fix yours problems. Devs will agree with me, even of that Im not a dev

Disagree... releasing a "buggy" ROM never is a good solution or thought. Of course everyone will help as good as we can. Just another thing. My stock kernel has got some SODs and random reboots, dont really know, whats causing, so better test it for some more days. I think I ll wait with other releases, till we get a better sourcecode. Like the reboot bug when leds are off, it is not present in the official version, but in the compilable sourcecode it is... so just be careful

My note was just fine, i was using paranoid rom with nx kernel on it, then i just saw a new 4.1.2 rom (sweet ROM) i backed up my rom & then flashed the rom & speed mod kernel as well, i noticed when trying the camera something was wrong the icons were rotating like if i was moving the phone from vertical to horizontal constantly i decided to go back but was just crazy i got the same result.. googling i found some GS2's some gyroscopes were broken because a file some of'em because upgrading to ICS and others beacuse flasing just rom's i'd like to call for ur help guys thanks in advance cheers
Did you flash Sweet rom from nxkernel? If yes then that might have sonething to do with it not sure though.
Flash some TW based kernel (say Philz) and then do a full wipe and install Sweet Rom and see if it helps. Before that take backup of your apps.
Good luck
