Hey there,
First of all, a big thanks to pawitp and the other developers for the great ROMs,
my cell (SGS i9000, currently running pawitps nightly 10.1-20130423)
has never been faster, better or more beautiful.
Unfortunately, there is a little drawback:
I have missed several calls, since the phone won't make a sound while being called.
This is the case in over 90% of calls. With SMS notifications, this percentage rises to 100%.
The messenger notifications seem to work almost in every case.
Thanks to the site search, I'm aware of the issues with USB-connections, setting the ringtone
to "unknown", as I have experienced also.
I "fixed" the problem manually by choosing the ringtone (and notification sound) again,
sadly without any observable change for the better.
So, I upgraded the firmware, re-flashed it several times (by Odin and CWM), did wipe (dalvik) cache and tried a different file format for the ringtones. A friend of mine is running the exact same system, but has not experienced the mentioned issue apart from one week or so; and after installation of the newest nightly, his troubles were gone.
As I really like this ROM, I would favor not to switch my beloved firmware.
So, any of you guys has any suggestions how to get rid of that annoying problem?
As already mentioned, I love my SGS with CM, but a cellphone which doesn't ring seems a bit castrated to me^^
Of course I'm more than willing to give more information if needed.
Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

hey, thanks for your reply
actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

I flashed Nameless ROM and surprisingly the lag issue is gone, and due to stripped gapps I flashed, I got the old messaging app back, which is quite the perfect combo, now the only thing I am missing is a good call recording app, is there a chance you can suggest one to me?
thanks again!

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

That still the best sollution for him - optimized kernel with stable ROM. He probably isn't techno freak?

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?

Hallo,
I am sorry, to post it here, but I cannot post in the related forums below 10 posts.
So I had 4.1.5 and it was great. I flashed 4.2.3 now and it was great until after pretty much one day, when it becomes slow, had the same issues with 4.2.2 (becomes slow after a day until reboot or downgrade to 4.1.5) where I downgraded again, but it is not possible anymore without resetting the launcher3 due to some changes.
It will crash repeatedly.
Any help?
Kind regards

I've been using CM based Mackay ROM for a long time now, updating to every new version as they have been released, and have not experienced anything like what you are describing.
Also, you should have really posted in the Mackay ROM thread...

@neox456! I am not sure I understand your problem fully. I have been using the same ROM since it came out for Kit Kat but never had a problem such as yours.
Could it be the no. of apps you have in your phone ? Or maybe because you aren't using low mem option (which was a feature of Kit Kat)?
It'd be good if you could explain your issues a bit briefly.

Did you install CM10.2 (stable) or CM11 before Mackay 4.2.3? This increases your partition giving you better performance and is recommended for KK roms. Try again with 3 wipes plus Format System first, then the CM11, 3 wipes and format again then the Mackay Rom. If you get into trouble, go back to GB 2.3.6 with ODIN like you did when you first rooted your phone and back up from there. Hope it works for you.
The difference was between 4.1.5 and 4.2.2/3. But I played around a little and the main difference was, that KSM was on with the later ones and not with 4.1.5 so I am pretty sure that slowed my device down after a while.
I'll try 4.2.3 without KSM now and see if it won't slow down.
I cannot answer on the official Mackay-Thread until I reached 10 posts!
neither can I yet...
Naaah, it did not really help...
But I guess it is the KitKat slow downs... it is not as horrible as 4.3, but still far from well usable.

Very strange.. I went all the way back to GB 2.3.6 then CM 10.2 (or 11) then SlimKat and it works really well with no FC or lags. (well maybe say max 2 second delay opening Whatsapp but I can live with that. Plus they all seem to have a 1 or 2 second delay when a call comes in for the screen to register.
Well... I am not sure... Maybe it is too many apps. At least they are not constanlty crashing like in JB4.3.
What about waking up the phone for you? Do you have a 2 seconds delay there, too? Well I sometimes have a more like 10-15 seconds delay. I press the power button and nothing happens and after a while you notice the phone is ready, because the LEDs are glowing and funnily you can already unlock it, although the screen does not show anything yet...
Well and sometimes it is only a few seconds...
I have always used CM or Mackay-CM... not sure, whether the other ROM will make such a big difference...
I had lags with CM in ICS so I went to Liquid smooth by aways .

I like that one, no problems opening apps or answering phone call. Pkus he uses semaphore and the Nova Launcher which has a nice look and feel. Pluis customisable.
Then after to SlimKat, (after increasing partition using the CM11) which works pretty good. I will flash the mackay rom or the omni this weekend to see how it behaves in comparison.
I am down to CM9 (still Mackay) now and happy with it. :angel:
Some features got lost, but I am happy, because in general it is way more useable.
HI,everyone
Recently I made AOKP rom for mint running on my hayabusa(TX) by changing the kernel.Its really a great ROM,but I thought it had no obvious bug as FXP,CM11 and OMNI nightly.However when I receive calls,the screen doesnt light up,even if I press the power button,there is no incoming interface,only the phone rings(but after the incoming was hung up there is a notifycation)
Besides,after charging the phone whole night,I wake up to find only 75% power,and the phone gets very hot.
The FXP.CM and OMNI rom(for mint) can work on hayabusa,so I think there is solution to solve the bugs.I really apreciate if you can tell me how to do,such as replacing files with FXP rom's files
Hello guys,
I've been testing all lolipop roms that had listed everything as working. Such as crDroid, CandyRom, SlimLP. On every of those lolipop roms pretty much most of the important stuff worked. There were stuff like equalizer not working or too dim notification LED, but from time to time I got touchscreen freezes. I mean I could use phone for a couple hours and then the touchscreen would freeze really often, sometimes it froze for couple of seconds and that was it and sometimes it could last for 10 minutes. This is really annoying and unacceptable if developer says that the touchscreen works.
I ended up contacting crDroid developer - davidteri81 and he said that the touchscreen works fine for him. I asked in the thread and I got only a single response saying he doesn't have this issue, but the sensivity is too high.
I've tried like literally 4 lolipop roms on my Z1 and each one of them had those touchscreen freezes. I even ended up flashing liquidsmooth in which I didn't had this issue, or it just didnt had the chance to happen since most stuff doesn't work there and it isn't usable as a daily driver so I quickly got rid of it.
My question here is:
Do you get touchscreen freezes? Please reply only after minimum 24h of usage. If you don't have any touchscreen freezes on lolipop rom on the Z1 then please, tell me what Lolipop rom do you use as I couldn't find any that wouldn't have a buggy touchscreen.
Please tell me if it works for you without issues or do you also have this issue on the Z1 as I'm puzzled because it couldn't be just me since I did a full phone wipe, flashed the phone clean, even wiping internal memory, but it still happens and I cant find a way to use any Lolipop rom everyday on my Z1. The more replies I get, the better.
@olokos: I'm on CM12 official and use it now for many days. In this time I never faced any touch freezes on my Z1.
I've got some other "bugs" that confused me a bit and make some manual fixes like Wi-Fi MAC. But for me I can say that this ROM is really stable and I use it as my daily driver.

Same for me, although, the touch screen did freeze once, but I locked it and unlocked it and it worked again. It's probably hardware since I got my Z1 replaced because of this issue that even happened on stock ROM occasionally.
using CandyRom 5.0.2
I never faced any touch freezes issue
@olokos: I'm on 20150214 and now I've got touchscreen freezes. This is the first time for me on Z1.
But I think that this could be a global Cm12 issue, because my Nexus 7 also get some freezes and I thought that something is wrong with my fingers or tempered glass.
The problem is how to debug this?
im on candy 5 and my screen dont freeze, but my screen percieves touches from nowhere... but only if i have earphone plugged in .. thats more than just annoying
anyone has the same prob?
sry for my really bad english
Touchscreen freezing issue definitely isn't hardware issue on custom roms. I haven't tried CM12 or any other apart from those listed on XDA, but I will propably build some lolipop rom from source by myself if I get enough reports that will be useful for me. If touchscreen works for you then please, tell me what rom you are using and for how long you use it, what't the way you flashed it.
I only need those 3 things. If touchscreen doesn't work just for me then I'll build my own stock based rom based on Sony sources. I just have to make sure that the touchscreen issue isn't just on my side.
All I need is:
Do you have touchscreen issues? Yes/no
What ROM/Kernel you are using? CandyRom 5.0
For how long? 5 weeks
Answer those 3 questions, legitimately and I'll consider that. I'm not sure If I'll have enough time to work on this, so please, be honest with your answers because I'm not going to fix the touchscreen, or maybe I will if it doesn't happen for everyone.
I experience dramatic touch screen freezes as well since the first time I installed Lollipop nightlies. (4 weeks now). Tried clearing cache, factory restores, de- and reinstalling apps. Reflash kernel, format SD, reinstalling gapps, puzzeling at logcat logs etc. Nothing helps. Random freezes from seconds till minutes. Only thing that 90% of the time will help is keep pressing powerbutton until screen becomes responsive. It happens more when I have a lot of (hangout or whatsapp) notifications, or when trying to type something (stock keyboard). Tried other keyboards: no luck. Tried every toggle: WiFi , Bluetooth etc. : no luck.
I experience dozens of freezes a day. Almost to the point that cm12 is completely unusable. Love this ROM, but this is a real showstopper.
1. No
2. AOSP Vanir 5.02
3. Since first availibility (12/14)
I experienced this issue on 2 roms in 2 forms
1. No (coming from Stock 14.4.A.0.108)
2. KitSlim_AMG [Evo 8.1] / iHackers advanced Stock Kernel
3. Since installing the Rom
This was the first time i experienced touch-issues. Not a freeze of the screen, but the screen sometimes started registering touch-events on the wrong places. This was temporarly fixed by locking/unlocking the display.
1. Yes (coming from KitSlim_AMG [Evo 8.1] )
2. crDroid-5.0.2-20150303-honami / 3.4.0-crDroid (packaged with rom)
3. Since installing the Rom a day ago
This time i get freezes. And they are much more frequent than those "ghost-inputs" from KitSlim_AMG. Unlocking the device also fixes it temporarly.
