Q&A: [ROM-1.2/GRJ90] CM7Tab for the GTab (based on CM7 Nightlies) [Update: 08-15-11]
MOD EDIT: THIS IS THE Q&A SECTION FOR [ROM - 1.2] CyanogenMod 7 nightlies for the GTab
ALL Q&A FOR THIS ROM HAPPENS HERE.
Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------
As suggested, I have decided to make my own thread for the Cyanogenmod nightlies and other ROMs. It will make things a lot easier in the long run.
Disclaimer: as with the other Roms, Use at your own risk! Since the CM7 nightlies are basically an ongoing beta, you run the risk to brick your Gtab if you are not careful. Use to learn NxFlash first before attempting to flash ROMS. Also, do yourself a favor and get Titanium Backup! Always backup yours apps/settings and wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing.
These will be using the bootloader's 1.2 Pershoot's kernel (2.6.32.43 / 1.4 ghz Kernel) for GB. This ROM works with the Gtab and should work with the ZPAD altough I have no confirmation of this yet.
Thanks goes out to: Team Douche/Cyanogenmod Devs for making a great ROM, Zyhong for showing me how to update to 1.2 and a few more tricks, Maxdamage for taking the time to compile the nightlies for 1.1 users, Pershoot for making such a great kernel and Roebeet for being the one that inspired me to take my journey down the Android rom lane.
1) latest version of CM7Tab: CM7Tab build 08082011 (Nightlies changelog)
2) Test CM7Tab with 4950 drivers: Test Build 08152011
Changes in modified version
1- replaced DSPmanager.apk with a previous version that is known to work (7.0.3) (if you open it, it FCs)
2- vold.fstab is setup as sdcard for internal storage & emmc for external card
3- using pershoot's 2.6.32.43 GB kernel for 1.2 bootloader (For more info, check his blog.
4- Read_ahead_kd increased from 128 to 2048.
5- Set up overclocking by default and battery saver script + cpu governors via userinit.sh (from Zyhong's ROM, based on Caulkin's scripts).
6- Replaced Camera libs & apk to stop the 8-bit pixelling.
7- Increased dalvik.vm.heapsize to 64m (07102011)
8- Set some values to improve video playback (07272011)
9- Changed values for lowmemorykiller minfree in init.rc (08072011).
10- changed EMMC to microsd (08072011)
11- updated ROM up to 2.3.5 (08072011)
12- Camera fix (08082011)
To-do list:
1- remove some apks (such as Rom manager) & create a removed apks folder.
--------------------------------
Issues:
1) Once you set up DSPmanager, it force crashes.
1) Vanilla CM7 nightly (only vold.fstab was modified): Latest build: Build 07262011 (Changelog)
If you have suggestions/ideas, do not hesitate to share them.
thank you.
Going to give it a try, tried cm7 a while ago and was great with it but seemed a bit slow. On Iluminate now do I have to flash back to stock?

How long ago did you try it? I try to play areound with CM7 with the CM7tab ROM to see if I can speed it up a little as well. You can give it a try and tell me what you think.

personally I have been using your build for a while and quite happy with it except the market which sometime shows my apps and other time it doesn't. I have not tried any market fixes yet, so it is partiality my fault as well.

I tried it today but was getting a lot of fc's, it did seem a little faster then I remember except the boot up was really slow as I remember. I did not give it a full try because I failed to wipe everything because I was at work and wasn't really supposed to be on it. I will do it again tonight with full wipe and see if it gives better results and let you know.
I just realized you have a tab build so I will try that one. The one thing I noticed right away with cm7 is that my tablet looked like a phone and I have been jumping around from HC roms and got used to a more tablet specific rom. I will give you update in a few hours I think.
Edit: have been trying for a couple of hours now but sent me in to boot loop had nvflash back to stock, will give it another shot once this silly Tap n Tap is finished loading.

Dalingrin was kind enough to provide a fix that seems to resolve most of the problems with market (including buying apps). It was merged in build 07092011+ so give it a try and tell me how it goes.

The FCs you were getting were probbly from DSPManager. It is a known issue that seems to come from a "broken pipe" in one of the libs. For now, it is best just to remove it.
For the bootup, someone suggested moving apps to the SD card. Apparently, it would speed up the process.
I am conscious that 2.3.4 is made with phones in mind but it is a step up from Froyo and having partial hardware acceleration helps.
Just tried again and got stuck on CM7 logo boot loop, this was with the CM7 tab build. did full wipe of cache, dalvik, and user data. Not sure what happened. Restoring to Illuminate rom if you have some ideas on how or what else I can do to try this rom let me know.
Hey there Ice.
First off, awesome work on this and thank you for taking the time.
I would recommend editing the build.prop file to set the Manufacturer to HTC. This fixes the playback issue with Netflix (Chipmunk). I tested this out fully on my gTab last night and it's the ONLY setting that needs to be modified. Aside from that, everything seems to work.
Good work!
Hi
Has anyone tried installing volume+ on this rom? I'm on BL1.1 CM7 rom but volume+ does not install. If this works, I'll take the bold step to upgrade to BL1.2.
I don't know if it's just my hardware. My gtab's speaker is very soft and I want to try cranking it up with volume+ (which works on my phone running cm7).
thanks a lot.
DroidTV phone size not full screen....Anyone have other apps that did that after....
I was using DroidTV, and it was full-screen and then rebuild my G Tab with the cm7tabl-0710200-1.2 and when I reinstalled DroidTV it is now phone size display on the G Tablet.
I used Titanium Backup to restore the app and the settings. Anyone have issues like this with an app that did that after re-installing after a full rebuild? Any build.prop setting or somewhere I could check?
Thanks. Steve.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.
@Mike: I have heard of this before and wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in it. I will change that on the CM7Tab version in the next few days.
@Vhend: Yes, Vol+ works on 1.2. You enter CWM and it works great here.
@Artful: I will look into this. It might just be that the rsolution isnÈt set right. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks Ice. Other than that I have yet to find any major issues that in the build.
Other than apps that open portrait only with the bottom on the side with the power button. Tried to say to not rotate 90 degrees but they still open that way Apps that open landscape then won't rotate to the 90 degree position but portrait apps still open that way
This is the most stable I have used and performance seems good. A co-workers has the same build, I installed it for them since they are techie-challenged, and theirs is turtle slow because I think they have Skype running all the time.

sorry for not being clear. I did not mean pressing the volume+ button. i actually meant this app to boost the volume of gtablet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023433
I guess the app has dependencies on dsp manager, that's why it did not work on my B1.1 cm7. Since you have replaced the dsp with a workable one in your rom, I would like to check if the volume+ app works here.
Appreciate your work on the rom!

Actually, I think it has more to do with a problem with one of the audio libraries. I did a logcat and it seems something called AudioFlinger can't set a parameter properly.
If anyone can fix this, I can send the logcat to help out.
I wanted to apologize for not being able to upload the new nightly today. I had to rebuild my computer and took the opportunity to switch to a new Linux distro. Just tested the new system and all is great.
I will post Build 07172011 later this morning.
Where are the nightly's getting posted now? Thanks and this is the most stable MOD I've had on my G Tab.
Do video apps work as far as no rotation with Oovoo, yahoo, reelportal, etc? Audio work okay with chatting?

There is a huge debate about this, but if you are not ready for a new Kernel, you can try an app call Autokiller Memory Optimizer and set it to the Optimum setting.
This will kill apps that are eating up your RAM and over time can slow your phone. This is one simple and quick solution.
This app adjust the memory killer that is already used by the phone. This just helps it to work more efficiently.

Big plus one to this. It's like CM7 (CyanogenMod) or CM7-based MIUI should have been released for our devices from the start. I couldn't believe how smooth my Fascinate was after installing andmer's MIUI.
Here's his twitter where he links to his releases: http://twitter.com/#!/andmer_
And here's the latest release as of this post: http://goo.gl/Pja9F (includes jt's CM7 kernel) + patch: http://goo.gl/OquBU

oh trust me i want to be on CM7 or MIUI, but i CANNOT get around the SD mount error. i have another thread about it. i have tried everything and nothing works. i was thinking of ordering a smaller 8 gig card to try and see if its my cards, what class/type card should i get just to install and MTD rom?? i cant CM7 and MIUI bad
Where's your other thread? I had an SD Card mount error but found a fix and posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296694&page=2#post18859876
Let me read your thread and I'll see if it's the same issue.
here is mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325525
Jsut so I have the steps down:
1) You have the ROM zip file on your SD Card
2) Reboot into ClockworkMod
3) Select install Zip from SD card
4) Navigate to the Zip file
5) Install
You're saying the process breaks for you at #3 because CWM can't read your SD Card?
If the above problem is true, try using rom manager to find and flash the file. if not try a different sd card.

back to the lag issue...when running these roms are you restoring backups from Titanium. If so, are your backups from a froyo rom, that could be part of the problem if you also get force closes. I had the same problem a while back. I have also noticed if changing fonts(such as with absolute system root tools) certain more elaborate fonts can cause some lag as well. also check into the widgets you are using, even on CM7.1 i get insane lag and launcher force closes if I use Fancy Widgets but everything else is fine.
Hopefully one of those things will solve the issue...if not wipe it clean and start fresh lol but seriously hope you figure it out
after re-reading the op it really sounds like your problem could be with restoring apps, it sounds identical to when I first switched to the GB roms. You run smooth as butter for a while the it all goes to hell. I would start with wipe data/factory reset but when intalling backups try WITHOUT DATA if you still get lag, wipe again and install your apps manually from the market or where ever. I ended up going with the latter and haven't had issues since.

Bugs / known issues
CM 10.1.3 bugs
1080 video recording not work
You cannot change headset volume while calling. After testing we cannot change calling volume at all, so I decrease headset volume.
Camera will partially work if no sdcard in phone [Still image now work, Video not work]
Gallery also not work if no sdcard in phone. So you should flash this patch to re-enable sdcard emulate.
What's next
This is final release rom but I may add more flashable features and mods, after I learn how to do it.
Version History
2013/09/28 - Kernel mod + UMS
OC - 300, 600, 800, 1008, 1200 Not OC by default, must select max 1200 in Performance menu
UV - 925, 1075, 1175, 1275, 1350
Add SIO, SIOPLUS, FIFO, ROW and VR I/O scheduler
Add sanjose, lazy, interactiveX, wheatley, ondemandx, pegasusq, adaptive, adaptivex, smartass2, zenx and abyssplug CPU Governor
UMS (external), MTP (internal/external) and PTP all work, default to UMS, you can select MTP/PTP from "System Setting" > "Storage" > "Usb computer connection", I suppress old ICS UMS dialog so don't panic when it open and then suddenly close itself (no better solution for now, I do this because I don't want anyone to open it and press USB connect button. It'll unmount sdcard).
Cannot use camera if no external sdcard in phone (try to fix it in camera/gallery code) -> now still image work, video not work and I don't want to mess with CM camera/gallery code further. So please insert sdcard!

CM Team for base rom & P760 device tree
artas182x for UV value
amnik & mateo1111 for kernel source that I review and add OC to this rom
dtrail1 for JBX Kernel, I get i/o schedule & cpu governor source from this kernel
HOW TO
Flash over last version
You can flash new version over old version
Put rom & gapps for CM10.1 in sdcard
Boot to recovery
Wipe cache & dalvik cache
Flash rom & gapps
Reboot
Flash this ROM over CM10.1 and preserve your installed application and data
This should work if you came from CM10.1 rom, not test in CM10.2 or other rom
Download ROM and GApps to your sdcard
Move all your application to phone internal storage
Reboot to Recovery
Backup your phone
Clear cache, dalvik cache and format /system
Flash ROM then flash GApps
Advanced restore your /data from backup
Reboot
Enable OC, change I/O scheduler and chnage CPU governor
You need to enable developer mode on your phone, do it by
Goto "System Setting" > "About phone" > Tap 7 times on "Build number". You're now enable developer mode.
Goto "System Setting" > "Performance"
Enable OC by select "Processor" and set "Maximum CPU frequency" to 1200
You can also change CPU governor in that page, about what is it please refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792369 and http://translate.google.com/transla...013/01/governor-scheduler-tcp-bejegyzest.html
You can change IO scheduler in "I/O scheduler", please read about it at https://www.vincentkong.com/wiki/android/android-io-schedulers/
Please test all changes before select "Set on Boot" because if something go wrong you can reboot your phone to revert it.
Cannot connect to wireless access point
This problem mostly occur when you got some error at first boot. The problem is error interrupt startup service to write proper MAC address data to file. Your wifi mac address will be 00:00:00:00:00:00
Use file manager or adb to delete /data/misc/wifi folder from your phone
Reboot (disconnect usb cable to make sure there're no error at startup)
Artit! You are a boss man! Thank you so much. Ill give this a go in a minute.
Update: This ROM is great man, I haven't had any problems at all with it so far, all I have done is used pimp my ROM to replace the GPS config file with the one which is for my country. Its running smoother than stock for me, I'm really amazed at how good its going! Well done mate.
Did you build the kernel yourself? I've noticed the phone fully identifies as a P768 which is awesome!
Edit: Can I include a link to your thread in my bootloader unlock guide so people who unlock know where to get a custom rom

01- Sounds like you configured camera to save to external storage and ONLY to there; that whenever the external storage is not there the camera app displays "No Storage: No external storage available" showing only a "cancel" button to exit the app. In other words, the camera won't work without an external storage. May be adding an option to disable/enable that feature will solve the problem. (or may be the problem is linked to a disabled sdcard emulate?)
02- Call rejection is NOT possible at all. Sliding to the red icon when an incoming call is on doesn't reject the call and acts as if nothing was chosen and continues to ring. Btw, I faced the very same problem with the official CM release and even the nightly builds for p760.
03- The headset hang-up/answer button is not functional. The sound keys work properly though when the headset is plugged in.
04- The front key light are always on. In case you want to turn them off, you can flash this patch thanks to nfs1mw and to you that you referred me to the original thread here. Also, a simpler solution can be installing Soft Buttons Light.
05- Probably because you disabled sdcard emulate, I cannot add any files to the built-in memory when connected to pc. Is there a way to disable it?
06- The hang-up/answer button that pauses/plays music player in the stock roms doesn't affect the music player basically. The same is also faced in the official CM roms.

Thanks for bug report. For camera issue I also think it because of disable sdcard emulate. I'll make a flashable zip to enable it again. For other bug that relate to CM if I can find bug fix patch I'll add it.
Did you try CM 10.2, these bugs exist in CM 10.2 rom? If not, may be I can add some fix from 10.2.

- I briefly flashed a CM 10.2 Nightly; the soft button key light has an option under Settings>>Buttons>>Backlight (CM 10.2.20130910-Nightly). May be you can port that instead of flashing a patch or installing a 3rd party app as explained in my prev post.
- I didn't have a chance to test the call rejection with it, unfortunately. May be in couple of days I will reflash to test again.
- As for the other bugs that are not specific to disabling the SD emulate; namely #3 and #6, they are still in the last nightly I tested.
Notes:
- The camera patch works properly with 10.2.* tested it with Focal as well.
- Tried to patch the volume keys headset patch, but the boot got stuck at the CM logo. So, I had to reflash the same CM to boot normally; don't know if resetting to factory settings could have helped though

I read in other CM rom thread and find a way to fix call reject bug (thanks mateo1111 and AntonX).
For SDcard emulate issue, If I re-enable it in this rom you'll need to use link2sd or app2sd to mave app/data to sdcard. The build in "Move to sdcard" feature will not work. So for me I prefer to has it disabled. It's a little trade off with camera storage issue. I'm appreciate if you can point out the better solution or some thread about this.

OK. I found a solution for sdcard emulate issue. We don't need to disable it, I just swap it with external sdcard. I've to test it to see if it work, be patient.
All other bugs are fixed. And I'll try to use setting from CM10.2 in this rom.
I'm running the original build and I think i've found a bug, when i'm in a call, the button to use the loudspeaker during a call doesn't do anything, it just continues through the ear piece speaker. Its only a minor issue.

OK loud speaker and mute button don't do anything. I'll try to see if this bug is in original CM or not.
edit: OK, original CM 10.1.3 RC2 doesn't have these problems. So It may come from patch that fix headphone volumn or some incompatible library. Let's me find what's the problem.

Not sure about lag because I did't play any game on it yet.
And for screen rotation I read about that in some thread a few weeks ago. Someone said that our phone lag while we change min frequency below 300 MHz. This rom come with min frequency set at 300 and you cannot set it below that.
New test rom is up. It fix almost bugs but have new minor issue while you reboot phone. Maybe it about how I emulate sdcard.

No need to do full wipe, please do these step
1. Move all your apps to phone
2. Boot to CWM and backup to external sd
3. Clear cache, dalvik cache and format /system
4. Flash ROM + GApps
5. Advance restore only your /data from CWM backup (I always reboot phone once before do this step but restore data after flash rom should work)
Please note that due to make external sd as primary sdcard if you reboot phone and have usb cable connect, you will get com.android.media error.

Great Work! Go artit! Go!
1- Any news about testing with CM10.2?
2- Could you elaborate more upon the difference between the testing and the normal roms in the 1st post?
3- I need to make a system image of my current stock rom so that I can easily test these roms easily whenever you update them, what do you recommend for that purpose?

Eli,
I've been using the v8st for over 20 days now and have not come across such an issue.
But I have a different issue though:
The bluetooth mic levels when connected to the car's audio system renders very low voice that the person on the other end can't hear me so good.
Hope someone with a similar issue like yours' should be able to help you soon!

Hi
Even by doing as per Post# 4, Wallpaper gets replaced but does not work.
Going by wallpaper details found MD5 error.
Few more issues on my device, new to this ROM. Flashed 2 days back.
1. How to increase the FONT & ICON size in Status bar, Key board letters are too small, notifications are small.
2. Screen and around the camera gets heated, during this time battery drains super fast.
3. BBS is not working, error message "Battery service could not be contacted"
Please help me with the above issues.
Thanks in advance

You need to change the display density setting. Open the file /system/build.prop with a text editor and search for the line ro.sf.lcd_density=182. Change the value to something else. Bigger numbers give you bigger icons and fonts. The Default for SGS2 Roms is normally 240, Neatrom uses 182, that's why everything is smaller than on most roms. If you want to use 240, you can also flash this ZIP in Recovery: View attachment Density_240_v8.0st.zip. It's just a modified build.prop for 8.0st. There are also apps on the PlayStore that can change the density for you, but I never tried them.

Without more info it's impossibe to know what is draining your battery. You need to find out the app that gives you trouble with BBS or similar app.

In Android KitKat, user apps are not allowed to access battery stats. It's part of Androids security policy. There's two ways to fix it:
Get Xposed Installer and install the Xposed Framework. Then, download the module Enable BatteryStats Permission - voila! Since Xposed is simply awesome for other tasks as well, I recommend this method.
If for some reason you don't want to use Xposed (e.g. if you use ART), then you have to convert BBS to a system app. There's several ways to do so, like Titanium Backup or Link2SD... However make sure that BBS gets installed in /system/priv-app/, and not in /system/app/, or else it will still not get the necessary rights.
Hi is there a way to reboot into recovery except from the home + volume + wake and also which Version of Apolo is the right one 7.1 CM?
Battery life?
Hi guys, was checking this rom out and it looks awesome!
How's the battery life though?
I'm currently on Resurrection Remix and the battery life when I have wifi on is really poor.
I'm basically looking for a 4.4.4 rom that gives maximum battery life.
Also are there any kernel recommendations?
Thanks!
Weird battery behaviour
Hello Guys. I met a very strange issue.
After flashed the ROM, the battery indicator acts very weird.
When the phone is fully charged, and I remove the charger. after reached 85%, and when the battery is gong down, the indicator is going up from 85% to 90 %.
Anybody met this ? and how to resolve ?
I already calibrated the battery, but the problem still on.

Try another batterry. I was facing the problem with an almost dead battery. With another one it's fixed.

I'm running this with Apolo V0 kernel and I'm satisfied (on original Samsung 2000 mAh battery):
~33% a day of normal usage
~1% an hour idle (data on, sync on, location on)
~0.3% an hour night mode (data off, sync off, phone online) - translates to ~14 days of runtime
Have tweaked wakelocks/services.

1. You can configure advanced power options to be able to reboot into recovery from a running ROM
2. Yes CM is the right Apolo for NeatROM (having superuser integrated)
Having troubles with wifi connection since this morning... My S3 and laptop works just fine but with s2 cant connect to apps like viber, whatsapp or hayday

I had the same problem of battery drain because of mediascanner service running all the time and i didnt know the exact fix but i have read somewhere that formatting sd card would help fix this and it did, Anyway i didnt use much of my extSD so i removed it for now!! And no battery drain observed with mediascanner service
I can't get this to run on my phone. After carefully following the instructions my phone is stuck on the first boot screen with the yellow exclamation mark. Strangely it seems like I have TWRP installed which I can't get rid of. Even after installing the CWM linked to, the next time I manually enter recovery TWRP opens.
Update: Sucessfully installed a Cyanogen based ROM instead. Shame, I would have liked to try this one.
GAPPS not working?
Hi there, please help me. I can't get gapps to work/install. I first flashed beta version...nothing, then tried the stable version and only Chrome appeared in appdrawer. I still can't access play store (from the Nova Launcher menu option), the browser that came with the NeatRom doesn't start.
The rooting, flashing of the rROM etc all went well, according to the instructions, the only thing was that I couldn't format /preload as there was no such option in the CWM recovery. Could that be the problem maybe?
Please tell me, what am I missing here...

No, Preload is not used in AOPS Roms, only at Sammy ROMs.
maybe your download of GAPPS or ROM is corrupted, check the MD5 file to see if there is any thing wroing.
Clear Cache from Recovery
Try to reboot
Try to re-install.
Somtimes something goes wrong and then you have effects as you mentioned.

Sorry, but I gave up over AOSP and flashed the "stock" NeatRom 6.4 w/o any problems. Runs great!
Still, when I was searching for a solution, I found out, that it is possible that I didn't make a nandroid backup of /preload (when I was still on rooted stock samsung ROM - before flashing kitkat cwm and later AOSP NeatRom). I read that in the CWM recovery that comes with Siyah kernel - which I used to make a nandroid backup - you have to manually select to make a backup of the /preload part. in addition to all others... And i really didn't find a file with "preload" in the nandroid backup folder that I copied to my PC. If so, I am suppose to have trouble when/if going back to stock samsung ROM? If that is the case, maybe it would be good to update the guide for flashing the KitKat-based AOSP NeatRom. I don't really care right now, because I really like the stock NeatRom...I just hope it'll work...
NeatRom 8.0st and TWRP - no restore possible
Hi all,
hope, one of you will be able to support me ?
I'm not able to restore any of my TWRP backups done with TWRP 2.7.1.0 which came with the ROM.
All backups went well and were flagged as 'successfully'.
However, trying to restore one of them failes every time. It looks like after restoring SYSTEM and starting with DATA, it stucks.
One 'failed', no error code or any additional information.
I've a 32 GB SD installed on my i9100 and this is where I store all the TWRP backups.
Copying them to internal storage does not help.
Any ideas ?
Thx in advance,
BR,
This is a good room
I don't know if others are facing the similar problem but it has turned my life into hell after the new update. I will list down the issues on ALL ROMS after the new OOS 3 update with bootloader in my device.
I had issue in accessing storage, which means gallery, file explorer or literally any app crashes when I try to access from the storage, be it internal or external sd card.
Couldn't use the latest snapchat at all, can't post in story, can't save any snap, can't upload from camera roll. It was just a dead end. However I could only post into story with a older Snapchat version, still due to storage access issue, I couldn't save or upload from Camera Roll
Facebook picture upload would ocassionally crash the app.
Couldn't take more than 1 picture in latest youcam app, storage issue would crash the app.
Gallery apps fail to generate thumbnail previews.
All these above problems caused permanent storage access unavailability until I rebooted device.
Need to charge my device twice as Battery runs faster than Usain Bolt.
So finally after a lot of tingling, I finally downgraded my device to OOS 2.1.3 with TWRP 2.8.7. Trust me it's very stable, bug free and battery friendly. Though I miss the new security patches features and snappy feel from Android 6 & 7.
The above problems are not happening in 2.1.3. I can use latest snapchat, youcam & facebook without any issue at all. Is there any way to prevent these issues on new Android OS in my device ? I believe it's not a device issue as 2.1.3 is running very stable and bug less.
Never had any of those issues on OOS 3 update. Think you might of gone wrong somewhere maybe.

I am really eager to find that out. I have almost tried every ROM on the new bootloader. Except MOOS 2.0 or something, each and every ROM had this bug, even official OOS 3.1.4. Any idea what might went wrong ? The bugs are not reproducing in OOS 2.1.3 though. Which makes me believe that my device is ok.

Think I figured it out for you. You are on really old OOS2 build you need to flash 2.2.3 before you update to OOS3. It was made for the update to MM.
Are you sure you gave the good permission. On MM, when you first launch an app, it should ask you for it. Maybe a bug appear at one point.
You should go to menu settings / app / 3 dots menu at the top right an reset app prefs.
Then re open app one by one.
You can try first without your SD inside to see if it happens again.
