[Q] Switching to ART doesn't work. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
For some reason my phone won't switch to ART as I really want to try it out. I'm running CM11 latest nightly. CM kernel. No mods or anything.
This is my second attempt and it just seems to be booting forever. I've already got an answer in the CM thread and was told to wait a few more minutes. That time it took was already 30 minutes so restored a backup.
Trying it again right now but don't have my hope set to high.
Any information, input, ideas?
Thanks!

ART is an experimental feature, work in progress... To make it work you'll need full wipe, flash ROM, you'll need proper GApps that is compatible with the ROM. Many apps are incompatible with ART, there will be issues for sure. I'd suggest you to stick with Dalvik for a while. KitKat is a big improvement even with Dalvik!

[ROM] CM9 (ICS) for the Galaxy Player 5.0 USA

Howdy fellas,
I decided to make a new thread for the development for the US Galaxy Player 5.0
Before we begin, I'd like to give credit to a few xda developers that made this all happen
ambrice (Using his kernel source from his CM7 ROMs)
Entropy512 (Ported ClockworkMod)
tdmcode (Helping me when I need it)
Here's the kernel sources: https://github.com/JackpotClavin/linux_kernel_galaxyplayer
Device source is here: https://github.com/JackpotClavin/Samsung-Galaxy-Player-5.0-U.S.-CM9-ICS
What doesn't work:
Camera
Netflix
Instructions
12/5/2012
This ROM is in the form of a clockwork backup. What you should do is download the .zip, unzip it and push it to your clockwork backup directory (as if it were just another backup) then, do a factory reset, and make a clockwork restoration of this ROM. Then reboot and enjoy. Gapps are included in this ROM!

http://www.mediafire.com/?cej55ivhc9x2556
This comes with the navigation keys on the bottom (like the Galaxy Nexus) and does not use the actual keys on the bottom of the bezel
12/6/2012
Install this boot.img like you would install any other type of ROM in clockwork recovery. This boot.img fixes the bluetooth issue, as well as the fixing the previous inability to download apps from the Android Marketplace =)
http://www.mediafire.com/?z976cetwscrmfff
You will also have to install the Bluetooth fix .zip from a fellow XDA dev Supermaster34 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847045
For the old ROM from March:
Outdated and old (no hardware acceleration) You can download the latest .zip from here -> http://www.mediafire.com/?1blgg21e3f0pyk4

i didn't make a zip to revert it, but you can wipe your system and reflash the initial update+gapps
Well thanks for this awesome job
Everything works very smooth and without lags
By the way i love the virtual soft buttons but we need to turn off the light from normal buttons
Is the Bluetooth bug resolved? Thats the only thing that keeps me from using this ROM.
Thank you so much for the effort!
haven't tried to solve bt :/ i don't have any devices
what's wrong with it exactly? everything?
flashed it over the 3-18-IC-ALPHA.zip setup that i had going, cleared cache/dalvik, rebooted. everything works great, however now modern combat 3 won't load.
I am guessing no tablet mode but thanks for these awesome updates! Will try and post my results!

Intl
I have an Intl yp-g70 and I can confirm that this rom works on it. I reflashed nosiyfox's patch for the hardware buttons right away, so I'm not sure if that's a necessary thing to do after coming from ICS.
By the way, I really like the boot anim and the CRT screen off anim!
EDIT
Oh and I love the background now scrolling!
Will this overwrite apps if I'm coming from the previous cm9 alpha?
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA
No, I just installed it, I still have all my old settings.
Woot! How can I disable the soft keys then. I'm not exactly loving them.
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA
that's why i told you not to wipe data if you've been on a previous ics rom
everything you do on your phone is stored on /data. from your passwords stored on your browser to do you home screen arrangement to your contacts. all the rom does is update the /system and the kernel so you won't lose anything that's stored on data as long as you don't wipe it (and you don't have to)
Works on 5.0 US thanks ;D patiently waiting for tablet mode support!
Gapps won't work for me, build.prop errors I think.
Just a personal request, but is it possible to mount emmc as sdcard just like the aokp rom ported by rice?

In the older version, Bluetooth didn't turn on at all, try it with your device.
And one request, can you write a changelog for the changes you make?, it is easier for all of us to keep track of resolved bugs.
Again, thank you.
EDIT: I can confirm that Bluetooth still doesn't work.
Wow thx!!!!!

Jellybean Roms Gallery issue

Hi all,
I was wondering if I'm the only one with this problem. On every single jellybean rom I've ran I get a gallery force close after several pictures and even more with the front camera. I did a full restore/wipe and then cleared cache and dalvik cache and also ran a kernel cleaner every time I flashed a new rom. But every time its the same. Now the weird thing is this does not happen on ICS.

No issues here with gallery or camera on CM10 or AOKP for me. Which gapps did you flash after installing the ROM? If you flashed either CM10 or AOKP then I would make sure you flashed the Jelly Bean gapps and NOT the ICS version.

Go into System Settings and clear data for gallery and that should fix it for you then.

When you say your full wiping what are you doing? Alot of people have no idea what a real full wipe is.

A full wipe is a wipe of both sd cards the internal and external. I've done that too. A wipe/factory reset just wipes the phones info and apps but leaves personal items alone (pictures, music, etc.).

Custom ROM for GTab, which one to start, which to sort out?

Hi.
I just got my GTab 7510 Wifi Only.
I'd like to install a CustomRom. On my Galaxy Nexus the Rubik ROM - PA with Linaro is working quite excellent.
As far as I have seen, there is no PA for the GTab.
Could you give me some hints, which (JB or not JB) Roms are good and well compiled and which to sort out?
Thank you
There is PA for galaxy tab. @kasper_h compiled it for us, but its currently in alpha stage. If you want to try it out, its in the development section. As for which ROM is the best, try them yourself. Everyone of them are great ROMs. Good luck.

Ive been running some 4.2.2 ROM's but just yesterday I flashed this one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055062
It's an ICS ROM so you may not get all the bells and whistles as an AOKP 4.2.2 but my opinion is this one is extremely smooth. The JB ROM's Ive tried were nice but didnt seem to be as smooth. Just my opinion
I'm running CM 10.1 on my tab and it's pretty good so far, but there are a few glitches, such as google now not working properly unless you uninstall the updates. Kind of a bummer, but I have google now on my phone so its not a huge deal. Other than that it's fairly smooth, a little glitchy here and there, but it doesn't bother me.
Prior to this I had CM 10 loaded on there and that was very smooth with no glitches whatsoever, but it doesn't have some of the features that 10.1 has obviously.

I originally had the goo.im gapps which had the faulty google now. I then heard that the wingray gapps have a working google now even when updating the app, so I completely wiped my system and installed the wingray gapps along with reflashing cm 10.1. For whatever reason, google now still doesnt seem to be working.
If I did something wrong, or if you know of a different gapps that does work please let me know. I would really like to have a fully functioning gapps, and it would certainly benefit the OP as well

I have installed Carbon from kaspar right now, but I must say... I am a bit disappointed.
It is a little ... not-snappy (don't know how to express that)
Could you tell me the difference between Infamous 4.0.4 and Carbon 4.2?
Both seem to have the same kernel, but the difference between 404 and 42?

Well...Kasper did say that carbon is still in alpha stage. There is a sh*tload of difference between infamous and carbon. Infamous is touchwiz based, carbon is aosp based. The kernel is different. The Infamous kernel is an older version of Mackay kernel, carbon uses the latest Mackay kernel by Kasper.

Hi @eushaun99 , could I ask if you know the difference between the Infamous AOKP (JB) and Carbon (now currently in Beta). I'm now on Carbon Beta with my p7500. I was previously on CM10.1 and I do find Carbon less laggy than CM10.1..the nightly I was on previously was very laggy in fact. But currently my GPS doesn't seem to work..or takes ages to get a fix on Carbon. Same problem on the previous CM10.1 also. Any chance it works better on Infamous AOKP?

Infamous AOKP is AOKP-based. Carbon is actually a mixture of CyanogenMod, AOKP and ParanoidAndroid. So in Carbon you get all the special features from all 3 ROMs. For your GPS problem, I honestly don't know.

@eushaun99 Thanks so much! I hope you don't mind me asking you more qns:
1) What rom are you using now for p7500? Why did you pick that rom in the end?
2) I realise now that I didn't do a full clean install. I did not format system under "mounts and storage". Can I check with you, where do I save the rom zip and the gapps zip so that it's safe even when I do the wipe data and format system.Currently I put the rom zip and gapps zip into the sdcard folder which is in / (which I understand refers to my internal sd). What folder does format system clean? Is it just the "system" folder?
thanks in advance!

1) I'm using InfamousAOKP right now. For me, its one of the best ROM available for our tab. Smooth, silky,great battery life. Also I love the fact that AOKP has an option for a dark-themed ROM. Makes my keyboard look so damn nice.
2) The downloaded files will be stored in /data/media which is symlinked to /sdcard, not /. If you format system, only /system will be wiped. If you format data, everything in /data will be wiped except /data/media, so don't worry.

I just flashed to Infamous AOKP last night. It was a clean flash with system wipe and factory reset but I now get a System UIDs do not match error when booting up. It still manages to get to home screen once I click "I'm feeling lucky" (which is the only option when the error msg pops up anyway). But my GPS is still not working. It wasn't working properly on Carbon rom either (took ages to detect and kept losing signal) or CM 10.1.

You can freeze any of Touchwiz/Samsung bloat apps you don't want..

Like a Stock ROM Should be.....
It's the Best of Both Worlds.. :good:
Wireless n functionality with this rom in the us?
Does anyone know if this rom will have the full wireless n ability? I did root and install civ's and lost my wireless n. I have also read through some of the threads about 5ghz and changing a few things in the etc file and they have not worked for me.

[PATCH][AROMA] Polluti0ns Rom Patch [4.4/4.3]

Polluti0n's Rom Patch​
=Disclaimer=​I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE, YOU ARE FLASHING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I HAVE TESTED THIS PROCEDURE BUT I CANT SAY IT WILL WORK FOR YOU. IF FLASHING THIS CAUSES YOUR CAT TO PEE ON YOUR BLANKET, I WILL NOT CLEAN IT UP.
=Description=​This is a patch for 4.3 and 4.4 roms. The patch can take care of many things such as changing kernels, changing bootanimations, fixing video recording and much more. The beauty of this patch is that it uses the aroma installer, so it actually lets you decide what options/fixes you want to install. You could actually flash the patch and not install one single thing if you didn't want to. Also this patch can be flashed as many times as you want so you can get things setup just the way you want. Anyways, have fun and leave feedback

Trying it now, I'll let you know how it works.
Edit: I've been running it for about 5 mins now and nothing so far. I'll report back in about an hour. Awesome work Polluti0n!
Edit2: Still looking good an hour and a reboot later. I was able to trigger flickering pretty reliably by scrolling the baconreader widget and that seems to be gone.
Thanks man. My main concern was getting rid of the flicker bug that came back.

Thank you for the updated version! I have been running patch_Adam's BeanStalk with you patch always and it helps incredibly! Just as a question, in the new version, is the Screen Flicker fix disabling permanently the Hardware Overlays like in your first version?
Yes it just fixes a bug where the script quit before finding all the places to change to quote polluti0n in the other thread:
Well I think I found the problem. Still need to test some stuff out.
So in the build.prop @ line 118 you have the following value:
persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false (this is in a section called screen flicker and is one of the values to fix flickering)
then @ line 137 you have a value of:
persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=true (obviously these are contradicting values)
Why my flicker fix isn't working:
My script scans the build.prop for "persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=" if the value equals "true" then my script will change the value to "false", but if the value equals "false" then my script will simply exit.
So my script scans till it hits the first persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false and thinks everything is cool then exits. It never scans further and finds the contradicting value at line 137.
Let me do a little testing and work on writing a failsafe into my script that should fix this issue

I've had it in five minutes. Need more time to know. Should the hw overlay in development be checked (it isn't) or does that become irrelevant with the patch?

Thanks for the feedback. It's my understanding that there are a ton of changes to the new cm11. In fact we may get an official cm11 build but no promises. Anyways for now just use the cm11 kernel that came with the rom.
To revert back to the default kernel just dirty flash the rom again and the kernel will be overwritten. You may run into wakelock issues which is a common problem with cm kernel.

That's so strange. But I did have to totally clean install and it went away

No worries. Just wanted to let others know. I wonder if the kernel from BlownFuze's AOKP would work with the unofficial CM 11 builds? That rom has been extremely stable.

Hey Polluti0n you should ask Patch about updating the link in his beanstalk thread as it still links to the v1 post.

Hey Polluti0n I was checking the liquid smooth thread and saw your post on a v4 of the patch. Is this something than people on ROMs other than Liquid Smooth can use or is it ROM specific?
Is just a flicker fix. ya you can use it on any rom. It was needed because there were some issues with the build.prop in LS.

Strange.. I installed the patch to disable to flicker issue and rebooted the system. It just hung on the boot animation for a good 5 minutes and then ended up going into a boot loop. Not too sure what's going on?
Is there any method of dealing with flicker other than disabling HW overlays? I hate the stutter in the ui without HW overlays on.
