[Q] In paris V5

Hi
Sorry to post in here but im so new i cant use development forum yet.
I have noticed when charging my GT with this rom my battery status is not showing in the middle of the screen when the GT is powered off.
Anyone else seen this ??

Mine works perfectly fine. Your setcpu settings should not matter in relation to your issue I don't think.
Im guessing will need to reflash the rom then to see if i get the battery icon when charging (gt powered off)
mine will display if for a bit, but shut off after a little while. It charges fine. This rom is awesome!
Hi
Ok, do you know the order for a clean install or a Rom that deletes all user folders and files as i seem to keep all my files when i do a wipe and reset ?
And list of things to do would be great
Paul
in Cwm, do:
- backup
- wipe data/factory reset (will wipe cache too)
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash new rom zip
- flash alternative kernel (if applicable)
- flash alternative themes, modded apps, etc (if applicable)
- reboot, set the tab down and go do something for 5 -10 min for it to do its first boot (mine is usually 7 min)

in order to start completely fresh is easy. you can be on any rom and to this. no need to go back to stock. just flash stock retail recovery here... (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22014441/stockretail.tar.md5) with Odin (put it in the PDA slot). Then go into recovery (it will be the old blue one now) and wipe data/factory reset. Clockworkmod Recovery wont delete everything like stock retail will. Then you can flash back to Clockworkmod Recovery and reflash the rom you want.

this method won't do what he is asking bro. cwm doesn't delete everything as he is suggesting he wants to do. stock retail recovery is needed in order to start fresh.
In other news.....This actually the correct forum to post this in.
The development section is strictly for releases.
To stay on topic, the battery symbol does show up when charging while off on my tab and my setcpu settings are 216-1000MHz ondemand. The tab is BLAZINGLY fast now and there's a noticeable difference between V5 and V4.
Off topic, I just wanted to say that I've never posted or replied to anything here before. I've been a quiet studious learner of alot of stuff on here and started playing around with my OG Droid, then Droid X2, and HTC Thunderbolt, and now my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've never posted or replied to anything because I've never been blown away by any developer's work (no insult, just nothing that REALLY made me go, “Thank God for this developer and their ROM.”
But when I installed In Paris V5…I literally thanked God for Task and Phantom. Task’s ROMs have been my faves and have definitely made my GTab experience move from fair (stock from store) to OK (Task’s last solo ROM) to GOOD (In Paris V4). But In Paris V5 has just made my GTab experience EXCELLENT. It’s ridiculously fast with no over-clocking needed! And not to steal from Apple (we all know I might get sued) but the thing just works now! If I weren’t so broke, I’d flood Task and Phantom with donations.
But sincerely…thank you Task and Phantom for producing, hands down, THE BEST ROM for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. You guys are phenomenal and if Google, or Samsung, were smart…you’d be on their payrolls. Please keep up the excellent work…I’m excited to see just what more you can do.
Sorry for this dumb question, but how to begin all of this, looks like the instruction is install CWM using Odin, any noob instruction for that?
I had rooted my Galaxy Tab 7 before using Odin, but I didn't went thru CWM. Any help on this appreciated. I prefer to use this Paris5 ROM. Thanks.

Phone freezes when goes to sleep using any ROM.

Hello Guys.
This is my first question or issue that I would like to share.
I have a GSII international version and currently rooted running ICS 4.0.3 stock (I guess) with CWM V3.15 .
Now the deal is that whenever I flash any rom, most of the time works except when I use Siyah Kernel for some reason I get Kernel Panic mode but with other Kernels work fine I'm trying CM10 and RR 4.1.1.
The installation goes well and the phone works but as soon as I let the screen go to sleep for more than 4 minutes the phone gets stuck and I have to do a hard reset then it starts working normally and when the screen goes off again bam! frozen!..is not an app issue cause I've tried with no apps and its the same thing.
Now one curious thing is that once I flash I cannot go into CWM for some reason.it just won't go ..another thing that I want to mention is that before I installed it and it was happening the same thing and I change the CPU governor and it seems that it fixed the problem and I was able to use the rom with no problems for about a week or so, but now that I had to re install it again I went and I change the CPU governor and is not fixing the freezing problem.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

[Q] Omega Rom Problem - Slow, Laggy & Unstable

Can anyone help.
I have recently started using Omega Rom...i previously was running stock JB.
I found Omega Rom V34 very slow, laggy and it crashed at least once a day.
I have just upgraded to V35 of omega.....its doing the same thing. Its just shocking.
With so many people using it and rating it so highly, it must be something ive done wrong as people would not use this rom as it is installed on my phone.
I used CWM recovery mode to install V34, i think its version 6.0.4? I got the CWM and rooted it etc through SGS3 Toolkit V6.
When i upgraded to V35, i simply, rebooted the phone into recovery mode using the new menu that i got from the V34 rom.
When it installs, it clears all the cache etc on its own.
When V34 installed i recovered all my apps using titanium backup. When V35 installed, for some reason all my apps were installed when it switched back on.
Any advice appreciated, im on the verge of going back stock!
Thanks
do a full wipe before updating

I'm pretty sure that I did a full wipe using the Samsung galaxy S3 toolkit the time I stalled v34.
when I installed v35 just just used the installer so i don't think it did a full wipe.
Please advise the best tool for the full wipe. thanks

i had been on omega and it was smooth as butter. perhaps there are apps that causes your phone to consume big memory and lag...
or you know, you can just flash another one if you are unhappy with it xD

Yeah,
I re-flashed with Android Revolution HD, and used the perseus Kernel.
Running sweet now!
Really happy with it so far.
If you're relying on the installer to clear your system and data partitions, that's where your lag and your crashes are coming from. You have to either use a Superwipe script which doesn't come with ARHD or Omega, or the much easier solution is to just clear cache/system/data partitions from recovery.
edit: let me know on here if you don't know how to do those things and I'll point you in the right direction to the best of my knowledge.
I have the same problem
Flashed latest version of OMEGA onto Samsung S3
Featurewise it's perfect, but there is an issue - like you say, it may be a clash with an installed app.
The lag is most noticeable when I bring up the Apps List, but I find over time it gets worse - if I reboot my phone it's improved again although the Apps List can still be slower than before to load.
I did think a likely candidate was avast, but I have the same issue if I don't use Avast.
Oh and I definitely wiped all relevant partitions prior to the install.
btw I'm not here to criticise OMEGA rom - didn't cost me a dime and lots of happy punters out there.

[Q] i9300 getting random freeze/hang up irrespective of recover/kernel/rom

This is my first post here so please excuse any violation of rules.
So, I was running CWM recovery + Siyah kernel + CM10.1 + Touchwiz 4.1.2 (dual boot setup) perfectly fine on my Galaxy s 3 for almost a year. But yesterday I decided to update all of those and updated to latest CWM using ROM manager, then changed the kernel to googy max2 and installed CM11. Everything worked properly except that my phone would freeze or hang up randomly at any time(whether swiping through homescreens or updating apps or even during standby). So I changed my ROM to S4 Revoution ROM (tried with both googy max2 and devil kernel). However, even this ROM gave me same hangup problems. So I moved onto TWRP recovery+ OmniRom but still encountered the same problem multiple times. After getting tired of wasting so much time, I came back to my original setup of CWM+Siyah kernel+CM10.1 thinking I wouldn't face this problem again, but to my aghast, the phone would still freeze randomly. Only a power button reboot would help. Please help, I have no idea what might be causing the problem as I have successfully tried every combination of recovery, kernel and ROM but to no avail. And no, I never manually tinkered with any CPU/GPU frequencies or voltages. Your time and help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.
PS: One more very important thing I forgot to mention, CPU-Z shows most of the time all 4 cores of the CPU stay at 1400MHz even though minimum speed is 200MHz. I have noticed this in S4 revolution ROM with googy max2 kernel and pegasusq governor(currently using this setup on my phone). Also, the "devil kernel" app on this ROM shows CPU either stays in deep sleep mode or 1300-1400MHz frequency.
Can't take screenshot for some reason in this ROM otherwise I would have uploaded those too. Thank you.

Did you do a complete wipe before installing all these roms? Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache partition. I am running WanamLite 7.3 with stock kernel and Wanam Xposed. Here is the link to the rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705866
Reboot into custom recovery. Do a full wipe, even though this rom says that it is not necessary but it is always a good idea to do a full wipe before flashing. Try this out and let's try to fix your problem.

Yes, and not just once, but every time I flashed a new ROM. I'm thinking my only option now is to unroot and go back to stock but i am unable to find my country's rom. (found one on sammobile but the download speed refuses to go beyond 2-3kbps).
One more very important thing I forgot to mention, CPU-Z shows most of the time all 4 cores of the CPU stay at 1400MHz even though minimum speed is 200MHz.

Try WanamLite 7.3. Use the link I gave. And install it after doing a complete wipe. See if that makes a difference.

Thank you for the suggestion but i'm afraid that would not help as i have already tried 4 different roms, one of which i used for a year without any problem, but still facing the hangup only since yesterday. plus, I have gone through enough trouble restoring my accounts/apps/contacts and all (especially whatsapp) again and again for the whole of yesterday every time i flashed a new rom. the problem is not related to the rom. thank you, again.

See, most of the things in your phone are software related. It is very very rare that you might have damaged the hardware. I see mismanagement of the resources by the ROM or kernel in your phone. What are the steps you are doing when installing a new ROM and which custom recovery are you using?

I did a full wipe, flashed everything again, did the emmc check as well as the dummy file generator thing....the hangups have reduced to 2-3 per day from 2-3 per hour but are still there. Should I downgrade my cwm recovery?
If you are rooted try the COMPLETE unrooting procedure mentioned at various places by flashing the latest stock firmware available from sammobile. This is to make sure your device software is like brand new. Test it for at least a day. Do a mega wipe (erasing everything even on internal SD card) before which can fix it in some cases.
When rooting again make sure you have the most bug free version of the recovery. CWM 6.0.4.4 is known to have minor problems here and there but nothing concerning to this topic.

Hi guys, I experience the same problems: I'm in any app and I press home to go back to the home menu => my phone's freezing for 5 seconds and then I see all my icons/folders/widgets slowly appearing. I would like to know how to complete format my internal SD card like you said. Thanks in advance.
by pressing the powerkey+homebutton+volume up for about 8-10 seconds you are taken to a recovery menu. You can choose to factory reset over there. That fixed problems in most cases. The only way to wipe the internal partition as well would be to install stock firmware which is a part of unrooting, this will erase everything and put a original rom in your phone.. You can follow the unrooting processes written in many posts in xda
Ok thanks for this quick answer ! So the only way to erase the internal SD card is the unrooting method?

As far as i know yes. Its not any trouble at all, wont take much time, except the firmware you would have to download. Its not needed in most cases. As i said before you may only need a factory reset so try that before! And just hit the thanks button
