[Q]How to downgrade from KitKat to JellyBean - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
So right now Im using CarbonRom with android version 4.4.4 on 9070P, but since its unstable and freezes a lot, I would like to return on more stable version of Jelly Bean (4.3 maybe?!). Is there a guide how is this possible?
All I see are guides from reverting Jelly Bean to Gingerbread...
Thanks :good:

Just flash stock rom (JB) with odin.
But don't forget to backup your data and do a nandroid backup (just in case ... )

Thanks for answering!
So the correct process would be Carbon Kitkat->stock rom 4.1.2->new rom (cyanogenmod 10.1 for example).
So I cannot skip the original rom part?

EDIT: you were fast huh.

Thanks a bunch!
Almost perfect,
I installed
1)cm-10.1-20131116-UNOFFICIAL-janice
2)gapps-jb-20130812-signed
and
3)9070PJBlibteefolder (since I have P model)
Almost everything works except SD card! With this app https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch I managed to connect to the computer, but im unable to access external storage from phone, "Storage" menu crashes to home screen, file explorer doesent detect sdcard and gallery says no external card. All else seems o.k. How can I fix this?
I add that apps install fine to SDcard, usb storage works no problem as well, mounting manually in terminal game me no permission flags.

You tried to enable usb debugging in Settings > Developer options ? If developer options doesn't show up, go to Settings > About phone and tap build number fast 10 times. Enable usb debugging and try to connect to computer without that app. You can change between MTP or others in notification bar (if you get notificatiom when you connect phone) or by going to Settings > Storage and press menu button and choose usb storage mode.
Also, did you try to put off sdcard and put it on again?

OK, not so perfect after all:
NO Call audio- I cant hear other persons, they cant hear me. Phone rings as usual.
Only reference I found was this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49452037&postcount=3697
but links are dead.
Yes, I tried your suggested method, and it connects to PC w/o that app OK. I can mount/unmount SDcard no problems, also another file explorer shows SDcard contents without a hitch, lets me install apps and play files from it, but STORAGE menu from settings is still off limits, even is no SDcard is present in the phone- results in crash to home screen.
I guess thanks to new root explorer, gallery works, so I guess I could manage without that menu as well.

Did you try to install a dialer from google play and see if is working? If i remember correctly, we had to replace the phone.apk.

I downloaded random dialer from google play "truedialer" I think, and all it changed, was the interface, i did setup this as the main dialer, but calls were still made using old dialer and hence no change.

[ROM] Froyo ClockworkMod V1 [08-05-11]

New good build come ! I repark from [F1 Froyo 2.2.2 V3][EXT2] by faryaab ( thanks faryaab). This build run smooth and fast !
What work:
- phone, sms, email, 3g, wifi, bluetooth, usb mode ...
- market, browser, app, game...
- 3D good ( 24.3fps neocore with sound!)
- ultil now every thing work well !
I. Download needed file:
1. Rom: http://www.multiupload.com/OLFZRD3BGN
2. boot folder: http://www.multiupload.com/Q6MNZX6FSD
II. before install :
1. Format your sdcard make 4 Partition with recommended size:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / about 150MB -> depends on the build )
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 250MB)
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 50MB)
Be sure make all 4 partition primary
2. extract and copy folder npkboot to root of sdcard.
3. Copy Rom ( zip file , don't extract) in to root of sdcard.
III. Install:
1. run Haret, and wait when it will be asked to press "Volume Down" shortly (!!important!! shortly) to launch ClockworkMod Recovery or any other key to usually continue booting into Android.
Press volume Down and wait for menu Recovery.
2. In menu recovery choose "install zip from sd-card" choose zip from sdcard and select "Froyo CWM V1 08-05-11.zip" . Confirm instalation. then back to main menu (press ok key) and choose: reboot system now.
3. Run HARET again and press any key (except Volume keys) to continue booting into Android.
TIPS:
- Android won't performing very well at first running hours, if you have many media files (pic,videos..) .. system will be busy searching for these files & creating thumbnails for them ... the time for that is depending on the quantity of the media on the SD card ..
- syne with google account, open each app one then restart for smooth speed.
- enable 3G ( if use want use data connect) and plugin charge in windows mobile before boot
- disable auto rotate
- disable data connect, data transfer, auto sync, use 2g network, use setCPU for save baterry life
- set acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=652000 in startup file ( inside npkboot folder) for more speed ! if you have problem, reset to 600000!
- If you want stop problem key freeze, download kernel with keyboard as modules and follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11808067&postcount=2 how to do ^^!
- USB mode have litle bug so when use turn on, copy file, it normal, then turn off usb mode, it will ask you format sdcard, DON'T ok, cancel it and restart phone, sdcard will normal again.
UPDATE:
- I recommend every one don't use Task Manager with option kill all ap or auto kill app, it will make more system eror, stop app, and keypad die! I don't use any task manager and it run stable for me, with no eror until now ! please try this thing and report here if it work !
- If when you boot to android and the phone restart, check your cpu speed and disable overclock in windows mobile. If you not overclock, download this file http://tingstenen.dk/data/ygge2.6turbo.zip extract and replace 2 file zimage and modules in npkboot folder, format sdcard, and try again! maybe it will work !
So, please report here how it works ! Thanks all developers for this build !

- I test wifi and work good so far, no eror or dropping, just in first boot maybe it eror, reboot 2,3 time and everything will work good.
- Keyboard problem need fix by kernel, so, until now, this problem is not yet fix! I recomment use gscript to fix it
Nice work, it runs pretty well!
Exept for one thing, when i try to download some apps from the market, it says
"application google service Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly". It does this everytime it tries do download from the market...
Did you encountered that problem? Should a make a system restore from android? I also tried to format the cache memory...Fix the permissions, but nothing changed...
Except that issue, sometimes it starts with the menu in wide mode.
Many thanks to you!!

Hi b8e5n, nice to see it work good for you, with the market, I don't have any eror until now. have you use any Task Manager and use kill all app to free more memory? I recomment don't use it, and maybe you should reinstall again with step by step I write in first post
Thanks for your help! I spent my whole day on it...
I did not use any kill app, because there was no app killer installed.
I tried to reinstall the whole system (formating the three partitions of curse), but failed again with that error, so i tried another mod.

please try this boot folder http://www.multiupload.com/JC7W7479NE, download it and extract npkboot folder to your sdcard. remember format all partition sdcard and make them primary . copy 4 file in old folder I give in first post include: Haret.exe, modules-2.6.27.46.tar.gz, zImage, and ts-calibration to new folder. then reinstall. Hope it work for you ^^!
Works flawlessly!
only thing to improve is battery drain
great job! thanks!
I tried your Android but happens to me the following:
Sdcard reformat the FAT23 partition and three Ext2
Copying
npkboot
Froyo_CWM_V1_08-05-11.zip
card to FAT32
Via file explorer and choose open folder sdcard npkboot
run Haret
starts to load and after a few seconds resets the phone.
I tried another version npkboot you're hung up in some of the recent posts but
happens the same thing.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do or give up.

Best ROM for me so far, and I've tried them all to date! (As of May 18!)
Just like to say I'm using this ROM, with the gscript keyboard modules and SetCPU, and so far, feels faster and more stable than the others and I'm going to stick with this one for a while.
I especially like being able to use CWM to make a backup to the SD card and then able to restore it at a later date very quickly if things go wrong (just some advice, if you do rename the CWM backup directory, do *not* put spaces in the directory name or it will give you an error).
I have a few problems though with installing apps
So far, WhatsAPP will not install. Neither will the latest ADWLauncher 1.3.3 (I'm currently using the older version). Not quite sure why this is happening. Would appreciate any advice here

Root Done. Cyanogenmod?

I've rooted so much and learned so much in the past month that I'd like to take that extra step. Opinions?
I'd like to try Cyanogenmod, but I've been failing miserably trying to put it on my device.
I've tried flashing it through this way: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide but I couldn't get ClockworkMod to reboot. Once I did get it to reboot I had a hard time loading or flashing Cyanogenmod because it kept saying that it failed to load and installation was aborted. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm following those instructions in the link to a T. I put the gapps file and the update cm 7.0.1 in the folder called the external_sd even though I do not have an external SD card, but I was guessing that's where the root of the internal memory is. Am I missing something? Is it really this hard? And is Cyanogenmod really worth it?
put the update/zip file in internal SD,not inside any folder.remove external SD card.now try flashing.

Couple things. When I connect my phone to the computer there is no folder that says internal SD unless the stuff that shows up with all the folders is the internal SD. I do not have a removable SD card.
Do I have to flash or wipe anything before I put the update/zip file on my phone?
Ok, successfully did it! I installed the cyanogenmod so I'll take it for a spin. However, there is one thing that I can't figure out. I'm trying to download all the Google apps from the market, but anything that I try downloading from the market it just stays in the downloading progress bar and nothing happens.
I installed the separate apk file gapps-gb-20110828-signed the same way I installed Cyanogenmod, but nothing. Can anyone help please? Also, I used the Navigation app a lot, but I can't even seem to find that one on the market...
Now it's working. Ok. Few questions for you guys. Any way to turn off an "LED notification" whenever I get a text message the bottom soft keys light up and stay lit up until I check the message.
Still don't know how to get the turn by turn Navigation application.
EDIT: How do you get Swype as well on Cyanogenmod?

I find that the stock keyboard is not the best. I've read that its predictive text and spell corrections is supposed to be good, but it looks like it's not picking up anything at all and it's not correcting any spelling. What gives?

LG P990 External Sd Media Scanner Problem

I have a lg p990 running CyanogenMod-7.2.0-p990 with the latest vorkkernel (without flags) and experienced this problem today when your music player apps or your standard gallery app doesnt show anything from the external sd-card. On the other hand you can look at every picture or listen to your mp3's via a file-browser app and the sd card is also shown under Settings/ Memory. So the problem is clearly not on the hardware side because i can access everything on my phones external sd card through a filebrowser.
Things i've already tried:
-Full data wipe and reinstalling cm7.2
Formatting the internal sd card
deleting the data of the mediastorage.app and manually start the media scanner through Dev Tools
Removing and putting back in the sd card 100 times
Rebooting the phone 100 times
i looked in every post at least somehow related to this topic and did not get a working fix/solution at all. Seriously i tried everything...
I just hope someone in this forum could help me (and dont say i should get a new sd card or should send in my phone, because the problem is defenitly not on the hardware side!!!!!).
ROM manager is the problem.

ROM manager I believe is installed in the system, with cm 7. Update it, remove the .nomedia file on the SD and reboot.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837185
i cant find the .nomedia data, where is it?
Look in your sdcard root for a file named .nomedia and del it if it exists. Note that the name stars with a dot (.), what turns it as a hidden file in *nix systems like android. So take care to turn hidden files visible on your file manager.

Stupid RomManager.
Easiest way:
Connect your phone via usb (with usb debugging enabled), open a cmd window and type:
Code:
adb shell
rm /sdcard/.nomedia
adb reboot
You can do this without a PC from Terminal Emulator at Android as well, just open it and type the following.
After a reboot everything is back to normal.
Code:
rm /sdcard/.nomedia
The problem in the FileManager is, that you have to enable "show hidden files" (or sth. like that), a leading dot (".") at a filename indicates a hidden file at Linux.
But of course you can just enable that option and delete the ".nomedia" file manually as well.

wow. i didnt find this .nomedia file on my sd cards root directory so i just searched it with windows over usb, 16 .nomedia files have been found and deleted... i know this problably wasnt the right way to go but it worked nonetheless. a big thanks to everyone
Open "Application manager" (Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications) -> switch to All applications -> find and tap the "Media Storage" application -> tap the "Force stop" button -> tap the "Clear data" button -> perform restart of device

Help with OMNI rom

Hi,
I have flashed a custom rom for the very first time.
I have flashed OMNI rom 18/12 build.
I find the haptic feedback or the vibration intensity too high to my liking. I can't find any setting where I can configure this.
The phone vibrates very strongly even when i press things like 'menu' , 'back button' or typing
Its very annoying, please help

I think your only solution for that is to turn it off... Or to find out what to change to make it lower. You do not have an option in settings for that.

Hi,
Thanks again. I found the option to completely turn it off yesterday. Sad, there was no feature to reduce its intensity.
After turning it off, I realized the samsung JB always had a subtle vibration feedback when touching all this. Initially found it a bit weird getting no vibration but now used to it.
Another thing, in samsung JB I could sync FB contacts as well. In this ROM neither does the option in 'contacts' nor in FB app allow to sync contacts to phone book. Not a major issue though.
But, in samsung JB I could sync my calendar with FB, so that I could see all b'days etc on my calendar. No option here. Even though FB is displayed under 'accounts' in setting. There is no option to sync.
But the great thing about it is its speed. There is no lag whatsoever, very smooth so far.
Have a couple of free days in hand, so thinking of trying out CM 10.2 as well

Hi,
You may be aware of the problem with the dash clock. It force closes. And it appears partially cut in the lock screen.
After going through the OMNI rom, I found that you had mentioned in post no. #225 to go to system/app and delete dashclock.apk from there.
Since there is no file manager in this ROM. I installed ES file manager and tried to delete dashclock.apk from system/app
But when I try to delete it says "dashclock.apk can not be deleted". I don't know why ?
Is it anything to do with rooting ? I found some discussion in the forum about rooting as well. But couldn't make much of it.

Since there is no file manager in this ROM. I installed ES file manager and tried to delete dashclock.apk from system/app
But when I try to delete it says "dashclock.apk can not be deleted". I don't know why ?
Is it anything to do with rooting ? I found some discussion in the forum about rooting as well. But couldn't make much of it.

Root it, set usb debugging on, in ES file explorer set Root explorer ON. Or use some other root explorer if that do not work.

I read in the OMNI forum that installing OMNI Rom automatically roots the phone. So is that not true ? If that is the case I will google and find how to root the phone.
I tried to turn on 'root explorer' in the ES file manager. It says 'Sorry, test failed. This feature can not run on your device". Is it an indicator of the the fact that the phone is not rooted ?
Edit: Temporary workaround: I found the post wherein you had told a user how to expand the dash clock widget by sliding it down and holding it and removing it by taking it to the 'x'. I removed it from the lock screen and added the normal clock in its place.

@metalhead.mechie Well I don't know what that means. I dont know much about tech stuff
From what I have gathered from the discussion in the OMNI Rom Forum, that I download something called 'Super SU" from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip .
Question:
1. Do i need to extract the contents of the zip ? Or just go to TWRP and just select install from SD card and select the zip folder like i did with OMNI and gapps ?
2. Will this root the phone or do I need to follow other procedure as well ?

Just install zip in TWRP. And check if usb debugging is on later in Developer options.
