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

If you still on cm10.1 then download keyboard from market and you are good to go Also stock 4.1.2 has this lag issue when incoming call its pretty annoying really

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?

No nightly's?
Hi,
I am currently on the Liquid Smooth 20.10. go, but I am surprised that no new versions are on the go. Is it so that only a new Nightly appears if there are changes?

Remove battery for restart.
Hello,
When i charging my battery power off, i can't restart with the power button.
I must remove my battery for restart.
Somebody have this same problem ?
Thx
cannot install liquidsmooth rom
i'm still new in installing roms. i was able to install rxtreme rom, i would like to try the LS rom. i downloaded the latest nightly rom, and it prompted installation aborted.
i compared the rxtreme rom that i downloaded, it was 1.2gb. but for the LS, it was just over 200mb. i hope someone here can provide me detailed instructions on how to install Liquidsmooth rom on my s3 i9305.
systemui crashes
Hi guys,i just installed the rom and after the reboot i enter the pin code and that message about systemui pops up every 3 seconds.
EDIT:SO i installed the previus version and everything seems fine exept some random camera issues and the notifications
swipe to left functions most of the times doesnt work or maybe it has to do with spesific apps.Can i upgrade to the latest nightly version without doing a hard reset?

Read the instructions at the beginning of this thread. It's all there.
It is a little different to rxtreme.
You will need to download the ROM and GApps. I'd download Milestone version - read earlier posts for location.
Go to recovery, flash the ROM then GApps.
Hope all goes well.

LliquidSmooth Cameria Issued
I want to thank you for this great Rom, and after many many thank you thoughts i want to ask you if there is something i can do about the camera. After taking 4 pictures camera freezes and can't connect anymore. Thanks again!
Review of the liquid smooth i9305 ROM 4.4.4
I've been using this ROM for the last four months and my verdict is...
...it's ****. S. H. I. T.
So bad that I've gone back to the stock ROM. Maybe it's because the i9305 is a relatively unknown phone (compared to the i9300). Nevertheless it's evident here that little effort has gone into research and testing of this ROM. Here are all the issues I came across during my usage of what is the most terrible android experience I've had.
Battery life: This ROM basically chews up the battery faster than a fat kid in a candy store. Seriously sit back and watch, throughout the day, as battery percentage slips lower and lower until it knocks itself out. And then that brings me to the next problem,
The phone will not charge when the battery is completely dead (phone off): That's right the phone has to be on, before this ROM realises that it should be charging the phone.
Camera: The camera will take about 4 shots, sometimes 10, if you're lucky before it completely fails. The only way around this is by performing a soft or hard reboot. Super fun when you're at a party and when taking a group image, the camera ****s itself. Even with third party camera apps the problem persists.
Microphone: I don't know how a ROM could possibly **** up the microphone, but this ROM succeeds in doing just that. Any recording performed sounds like a 1950s CB radio. This is an experience that you force on everyone you call by having the audacity to use this ****ty ROM.
Multiple Application Incompatibilities: Several big ticket applications fail to run with LiquidCrap. For example Skype refuses to initiate and Viber will not make video calls. That leaves Google Hangouts which for some reason decides to induce a 4 second lag in every word in your conversation.
Video playblack: Wow a custom ROM that refuses to easily work with flash video. The developers solution here is to force you to use dolphin viewer to browse and run some flash mods to work. Unfortunately none of that works. And it's not just flash that refuses to run. Any HTML5 gif or video will not play. Then there are some videos where only the sound will play but nothing else. Good luck watching anything on youtube which is not accessible by the youtube app. Which surprisingly works well.
Random restarts: Oh were you typing in something important? Would be a shame if I just...restarted right now.
Screen Rotation: Lags.
So if you're 13 years old and get a kick out of changing colors in status bars; by all means get this ROM. If you actually have responsibilities and need your phone....to work. Then avoid this ROM at all costs. Hell, avoid every custom ROM for the i9305. Unless it's a slightly modified stock Samsung. This as this there's less chance that something is royally ****ed as in the case here.

Hi Guys! Im fairly new, I only flashed about 10 roms. Using this rom for 5 days now, I have a lot of problems, bugs. But I want to give it another try, because I heard very good things about this rom. so...
garbled "mosaic like" graphics on locksreens notifications only when Im moving them with my fingers
garbled notification bar icons when running tinder
strange scrolling in play/own apps during app updating - app rectangles in the listing seems to detach from the scrolling background, moving slower/faster.
various gfx glitches too fast or short to recall
camera is unusable, ugly FCs, "cant connect"s, even reboots, or phone freezed up for several seconds. using power button release seems to make it worse.
it was clean install, full wipe (FR), + cache before and after flashing. (Philz Touch)
installed:
LS-KK-MileStone-3.2-i9305.zip
Liquid_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.1.zip
I came from stock KK, it was the NEE version (I9305XXUFNL1_I9305NEEFOA1_I9305XXUFOA1_HOME). and some others before that.
Can I make an "even cleaner" install...? Can it be some things left from other roms causing these problems?
Or any advice, so it would work like on your devices?
thx in advance
ps: sorry for the previous post

Have you had any luck on sorting your problems out? I've found this ROM to be amazing.
It's fast, smooth and everything works well.
I've played with lollipop ROMs but they have issues so keep coming back. Though when aicp 5.1 is sorted, it is a decent option; very fast and smooth.
Anyway I am using TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery and stock kernel that came with the ROM. I do a full advanced wipe them factory wipe. I also use SuperSU.
If you're still having issues you could store your files in an external SD card, totally format your internal storage and start again from scratch.
Hope that helps.

Hi! thx for the answer, but I did everything, apart from I left below. What do you mean by total format? How its done, with what app, and how the carrier/region etc related content is put back after that? I have latest philz touch, and I do dalvik+cache+full wipe before AND after each flash. Im not concerned about my files, everything is on ExtSD and cloud.
Yes the rom is much cooler than CM for the first look, but after 5 days heavy use I got serious problems just like the angry guy mentioned a few post above. after I moved in all my apps and stuff, it lost its smoothness, FCs, and hard battery drain with hot phone.
But the main thing was after I wrote my post, I realized that this rom is not maintained anymore, which is a problem for the 9305. U gotta use what is maintained, so the last day was so bad with this rom, I went back to CM immediately! Which is a dream in simplicity, speed, and battery life, and the latest only few days old!
of course Im still interested in the total format you mentioned, and in this rom, if it gets sorted out...

There are different ways to fully format your internal drive but you will need to backup any important data files to your SD card first. A full format will wipe it clean. I don't use philz these days but from memory you mount system, data etc and format them. Other options are files like those provided by Agni developer for F2FS will wipe it clean as well. As I use twrp it is different again.
I've been on this ROM for months now. It's fast, smooth, no FCs, and with decent use through the day I get 2 full days out of the battery before a recharge.
I use Greenify app, turn off fast dormancy and if there are drainage issues it's generally about finding the rogue app. Titanium backup is another must have app to backup and restore apps. It makes things so easy.
It's not maintained as you say but I don't see that being relevant; it's a well cooked 4.4.4 ROM! You can use other options such as F2FS +/- ART to tweak performance.
The only ROM I'm playing with at present is the 5.1 aicp which is super fast. Only had bug with Apex launcher my launcher of choice.
Have fun! Cheers

Please I have no more things I can try. In these two months I tried everything. Locked bootloader roms are better, but they still aren't that smooth and after a few hours I need to restart the phone, because I get unresponsive touchscreen again. I really want kitkat on my phone, because stock sucks too much with so low ram. I beg you guys for help. I am exhausted of trying and trying

Please calm down and don't spam the forum with copy paste posts everywhere as it won't get you anywhere.
Regarding your problem, if you think LBL roms are better then why don't you stick with them as they are equivalent to UBL roms in every aspect. I am on MrSteve555 M12 and can say it is smooth as silk, so what's all the fuss about?

Never seen this lag in the slightest.
I also have lag in the menu in the ui. Maybe it is from my phone? It is a little noticeable lag. Phone is working alright with 4.3, but with 4.4 it sucks

Ive run PA, Omni, PAC and CM11 and none of them have lag on quick settings or settings once the ROMs 'settled in' which is usually a few hours after install when everythings run and updated and synced fully. Is this lag happening for you on a clean phone with minimal gapps and no other apps installed?

Yes. I don't have any luck with phones. I am very sensitive to lag and I'm stuck with this phone 1 year more- good hardware- ****ty software. I like the phone, but no the software.

Use a small gapps package. It does wonders, as long as you do the following steps in the correct order:
1. Format /system.
2. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
3. Install ROM.
4. Install Gapps.
5. Reboot and leave the phone alone for at least half an hour.
6. Run through set-up (if required)
7. Leave phone alone for another hour.
8. Enjoy.
Google Search seems to be a big problem for performance, even on Nexus phones. The easiest is to get a package which does not include it (Velvet.apk it is called, and it is found in /system/priv-app).
I recommend Paranoid Android's 'pico' gapps. Google it to find the post on XDA by TKruzze.

I recommend Paranoid Android's 'pico' gapps. Google it to find the post on XDA by TKruzze.

I use the same gapps. I have left the phone 1 day and I still see lag in ui and when pulling down notification drawer :crying: My old phone didn't lag that much and had twice as weaker specs :crying:

A month ago I had the same issue, but after using that formula it feels like a brand new phone now.

I really want a fast phone. The moto g is so fast and smooth, but my phone isn't even with any rom :crying: I can't do anything more. I tried everything and I gave up after 2 months and 50+ hours flashing roms and trying and trying different ways

I will do the formula you told me. I will flash stock .ftf then I won't boot the phone and I will flash williams kernel v7 just to get recovery. I will start the phone and go in to recovery. I will do the formula you told me with cm11 build by mr. Steve and I will hope the formula will work

I remember running LagFix off of the Google Play Store. Someone recommended it to me. What it does is it enables TRIM on your /system, /data, and /cache partition, which, in theory should work and improve performance two-fold. It applies to the SP, which uses NAND flash to store these partitions and therefore would suffer from the afore mentioned symptom.

Don't worry if the CyanogenMod set-up app is REALLY slow, crashes, or skips steps, it happens to everyone, because the cache rebuild hasn't begun yet.

Try MrSteve build, if it fails then I guess it's a hardware issue

I sort of think that it is all with your mind. If you like, would you share a video showing the "lag" you've mentioned in those mentioned areas (notification sliding lag, settings lag) if you are currently running CM11. I would like to actually see it.
I would like to see a video recording of your phone by using another camera, not a screen recording or cast directly from your ROM.
With your video, people will finally could see how the "lag" is and decide if it is the normal lag, or supposedly a problem of your phone.
About touch screen sensitivity, I was unable to find a thread about the same problem (the one before you started a solution thread). I've searched like mad through the General forum. It contains a build.prop modification fix. If you could get me a link to it, gosh I would appreciate it so much and will show you to the right direction

I will try the formula. If it doesn't work I will try to film a video. Maybe it is a hardware issue, because when installing apps wtih 4.3 rom phone laggs a lot and on 4.4 does the same, but the lag is much lower when installing apps

Well while installing apps it does lag but after that it just glides.

I did all those steps. I get same performance. Maybe this is not lag I am not really sure
With themer apk its nice and smooth and also beautiful. I have from time to time touchscreen sensitivity problems. Any fix? Like 1 hour phone is goot after i lock it and unlock it touchscreen gets unsensitive and I need to restart

Have you tried LagFix yet? Run it and see what happens.
Plus don't use themes unless you wipe your cache afterwards: the theme modifies SystemUI.apk and therefore the cache file is incorrect.
Hey Folks,
got a little problem with my shamu Device
Currently im running CM12 Nightly on my Nexus 6. Mostly stock because I updatet it an hour ago. My Problem is that my Notification light is not working as it should. I can define colors for specific apps but if I get a notification, the LED isnt pulsating like it should. It stays on all the time. Is there any workaround for this problem? Maybe with Lightflow or Tasker (not into Tasker but when it´s working)
Thanks for any advices or answers
Greetings and have a nice day.
P.S.:
Nexus 6 running Cynaogenmod 12 from 2015-06-25 stock.

This is normal. You'll have to search but there are ways or ROMs that can get it to pulsate.
Isn´t there any patch or .zip file to modify this? I mean, it is also possible to flash double tap to wake for then nexus 6. Why not a pulsating LED?

Because there isn't the hardware to do it. The phone has to run a script or an app and keep the device awake in-order for it to tell the LED to turn off and turn back on via software. From what I have read, this isn't even always 100% effective, in that it will not always work properly. It also can potentially be a big drain on your battery, as the device will never be able to sleep while the LED blinks.
There is a thread here that discusses a few developers trying to figure out how to make it blink, and there was no success. There have been other threads too, but as far as I have seen there has been zero success in making it blink without an app/script or whatever it is.
Double tap to wake on the other hand was something Google put in themselves. They later removed it for the Nexus 6. The hardware is there for it to function, even though it doesn't work 100% of the time (sometimes you have to double tap twice or three times), which is probably why they removed it from the N6. I am pretty sure Google left it in for the Nexus 9. The Nexus 5 doesn't have the hardware to support it, so they don't get so lucky. There isn't a good way for the Nexus 5 to get double tap to wake either, because the only way to enable it is to do something like keeping things awake yet again, and from what I have heard it is a pretty big battery drain for that functionality.
Ahh okay I understand it.. but then it offers me a question why the Meanpop Custom Rom can handle it without big drain of battery.
Before you ask why I don´t stay at MeanPop.. I like Cynaogenmod more

I am not saying it is definitely a big drain on battery. I just said potentially it could be. There certainly were some people that claimed to have suffered poor battery performance after making it blink. Maybe we are talking the difference of a couple percent at the end of the day which you may not notice. But I am sure in some usage cases, that wouldn't be the case and it would be higher.
Does the meanpop dev release their source? I have no clue how the dev accomplishes it, maybe it is something you could make into a flashable zip and include with any ROM. Or it is something that is deeper than that, and likely will require you to build a ROM from source. If there is no source, perhaps try asking the dev.
Alternatively you can use whatever method some other people have used. I am pretty sure, I linked a couple of popular threads to you the last time you asked this question, here.

I don´t know how the dev did it. I just know that there is a data in your filesystem which defines everything. So It can be something more deeper than normal. But I think the dev of Meanpop won´t be doing a flashable zip if this would be possible because this feature makes his Custom Rom way more unique.
I´m not so into Tasker and Lightflow ... but maybe I will give it a try. Thanks for your help!
Well.... the device still runs pretty good, but I'm afraid soon my two favorite apps will lose compatibility cuz the OS is too old... I like it because of the screen size is the minimum acceptable to be able to read music on it...
So, is out there anything newer than the stock 4.4.2 OS ? Anything ?
Should I resign and accept that soon enough I will be better off throwing it away ? At this point I am becoming more and more of a "I just want to use" than a tinkerer... at the same time I hate discarding good things so I usually keep them until their death - in this case, "inability to breath"
but let me hear what you know.
Thanks.

I've been using a Nougat ROM on this tablet for a couple of years, really stable. Haven't heard about more recent ROMs though.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/orig-development/rom-t3540259
Thank you. Do you have all the essential features working alright ? For example, I connect a bluetooth pedal to turn music pages; then i also use Google Drive to import the songs I want to the app, so evidently, WiFi is also essential to me
I dont care for camera or anything else, so, is BT and WIFI running fine for you ? Thank you.
Well....... once I ran the ASUS bootloader unlock and it rebooted, I knew I was already screwed cuz the damn **** wiped everything ..... so I bit the bullet and went ahead and installed everything: new custom recovery, the Katkiss and went ahead... seems that everything is working though I havent tested BT just yet.
WIFI is working just fine, I reinstalled my previous apps. Will test the BT pedal tomorrow, but so far, looks great ! This should get me running for another 4-5 years LOL
Thanks again for the link. I will go ahead and donate to that guy who made the 7.0.1 thing for us.
Confirmed BT works fine.
I'm glad someone else asked this. What ROM did you go with and what do you think of it ?
I used the ROM that is in this thread to replace the stock kitkat (is that what it was before ?) This rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...t/rom-t3540259
The only two (three?) things I noticed:
1 ) The battery runs faster than on the old original firmware, however, it can be drastically "enhanced" by using "Battery Doctor".
2) Cannot connect anymore to the laptop or any other charger - it simply will not charge from anywhere else that is not the original wall charger.
3) I have not tested the camera simply because, I really don't see a use case for a camera on a tablet - we all have a nice smartphone in our pockets, right ?
What I like, is that everything is quite simple and clean; the home key and those other soft keys at the bottom, stay "On" and have an extra set of useful keys.
I had no problem "updating the tablet" following the steps.

Hi,
I is very nice to see still this tablet works fine.
Can you please test the camera? I need to upgrade this tablet in order to use for online courses for kids.
Thanks in advance.

It works (almost) fine. I'm afraid to say that I have bad news for you ... =
I tried three different camera apps, starting with the "Open camera" and no joy - it says that "the camera seems to be in use by another application" and gives up.
Then I tried two others that came first in the Play Store and got the same kinda of message about not being able to connect to the camera.
Sorry for you who needs the camera - for my own use, it's became good enough.
