Root [ROM][R910] Basix 1.0 (Aito's Revenge) :: Speed, Battery, Smoothness, Customizability :: 7/24/11

Is anyone else having trouble getting the screen with the android that allows you to connect to your SD Card when you plug in the usb cable to your computer? I get the screen that offers the choice between Samsung Kies and Mass Storage but when I select Mass Storage I see the other screen flash for a moment, but I never get the opportunity to hit the button on it to get the drive mounted on my (obviously) Windows machine.

So far I am liking this very much, I figured out how to set a custom boot animation, now I cant seem to figure out a boot up sound. I tried putting the PowerOn.wav file in the system\etc folder but no luck, any ideas


But can anyone please teach me or point me to how to change the boot animation using this rom, i cant figure it out, i tried using uot kitchen and just flashing it thru cwm, but it didint work


much thank you

I have lost 4G for the last few days and only have a 1x connection. I have rebooted, I have tried using Any Cut's LTE Function Test to force it to "turn on" but nothing.

I'm in the Los Angeles area. Have there been any updates to Metro PCS' system that would prevent this ROM and/or rooted phones to have 4G access?

I have been using this Basix Rom since it was released and it has been such an improvement over the crappy stock rom experience. However, not having 4G has been a
problem ... especially when trying to view email messages. Ughhh

Exit out of that screen. Pull down the notification area and click the USB option.. you should get that android window & be able to connect. IDK if there's an easier/faster way but that's the way I do it at least. Good luck!

I will have my testers look into this - it is most likely the same issue as those above.



yea i had the same a few times (referring to the green phone icon sticking when you hit end call, sorry i messed up the quote). talk about a total fail i thought i hung up the phone and im sitting here talkin to my neighbor and i hear a womans voice coming out of my phone talkin about wtf did you just say? what?

...Bad.


but when that happens to really end the call you have to pull down the notification bar and click end call again. i think when you hit end call initially the first time sometimes it just goes back instead and goes to the home screen/ what ever page you were on.


edit:: i remember this happening once on stock.

The music players RW/Pause/FF buttons do not work while on the lock screen.. idk if it's all the lock screens,, but the simple slide left or right with the padlock on it is what I'm talking about. Will report back if it's the same in other screen-but I pretty much just use this.

Otherwise, so far I'm loving this rom & the level of customization available to me now. I've toggled back/forth with certain things so I can see exactly what changes happen.. that's mostly on the main screen & it's options.. very cool stuff indeed. Otherwise still getting used to it. Thumbs up.

But yeah, I want to be able to control my tunes from the lock/unlock screen please/THANKS!! :D

EDIT: Music player controls DO work using these screen locks:
Glass Unlock
Epic

And do NOT work using the others, regardless of their presence, settings, or what have you.

Note, I hadn't tried the puzzle lock style because I heard it's basically messed up in general.

only thing i've had to do after installs is calibrate the battery.

thanks again bud.
Thanks for your support!

only thing that i found i couldn't stream was porn :p , and i think that's only because that certain website doesn't stream for a phone or somthing

if your using the stock browser i dont see the problem. if your using something else you might have to set it up to stream/play flashplayer/other codec to all the time or on demand (which i'm sure you know) i know in the dolphin browser you have to do this, or atleast you use to.

btw i still have the download crutch lite installed, if you have it set as default to open up things for some reason it could be the issue, but if your just streaming it wouldn't give you an option to select somthing to open it with anyway, or if it did you should've clicked browser and not crutch.
Quoting for Williamw545.

Do you still have USB Debugging on? If so, disable it, connect, and reenable it. You shouldn't see that popup at all if you have debugging on - you should just get the "mount USB storage" option in the dropdown.

I did see this issue myself when USB debugging was off, and the SD card was either not inserted, or no good. Check your card.

But can anyone please teach me or point me to how to change the boot animation using this rom
Pick any HVGA boot animation you like (will be in bootanimation.zip) and put it in /system/media.

Got rid of the Crutch Lite. Still a no go.
See quoted post above.

There shouldn't be. Go to Settings > About Phone and check your LTE baseband version. If it does not say "Unknown", there is a problem with Metro in your area.

EDIT: Music player controls DO work using these screen locks:
Glass Unlock
Epic

I am aware of this. It is (has been) noted in the changelog FAQ - controls do not work on the AOSP-based lockscreens. There's not much I can do about this; Samsung implemented nonstandard media hooks for its player. If you use Google Music or most other non-Samsung players, controls will work on the AOSP-based lockscreens, but not Epic or Glass. The calls are Not Fun to rewrite (I didn't write them in the first place, someone in Korea did), and if I did, it would be one or the other.

Cannot search from address bar. Takes you directly to google.com & you have to search again. Using stock browser. Please fix.
I'll check on this. Worked fine the last I used it.

I have done every last bit of installing poweron.snd and poweroff.snd to no avail. 44.1 Khz, 16 bit stereo files that just will not play to save my life. There are no .nomedia files anywhere between the root, /system and /system/etc

Can someone who has successfully done this tell me exactly what files they have and where and upload the contents? I believe that people have been successful; I have not.

I've popped in and out of forums since the indulge was released; following progress on everything from the original bloatware removal to partial root, and finally full root. The only final thing missing was a full CWM. I've been reading up on Exodus but have been reluctant to try it.

...I discovered your Basix which I had no idea was even in the workings... I took the risk and installed it. So far everythings running so much faster than ever and battery life has to be 2X what it was...

...I had to register for an account in this forum to simply say THANK YOU for giving my slow android a whole new life. You have done an amazing job!

Gotta agree with this guy, I did the same thing and it worked for me too :D

... Update ...
15 min after flashing and restoring all my apps and what not on the phone, I rebooted it.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN MY PHONE LOAD UP SO QUICK!!! And the media notification (when it checks in the beginning your sd and phone) is just as amazing!

I had the same problem when I first flahed this ROM. When the screen popped up, I hurried up and pushed the button. After that it worked just like it always had.

When you plug in you want to use the Samsung Kies option. in setting/applications enable USB debugging and in settings/USB check off the samsung kies option. then when you plug your phone into the computer the android guy pops up as your used to.

I believe I read somewhere that this was a Feature, put in place to make sure you don't accidentally miss phone calls or notifications should your headset be plugged on but not in your ear. Yeah, I tried to call bullsh★t on it too, but hey, of that's the case, we could at least get an option to disable that feature, right?

yeah would be nice also found that the count down timer has no sound when it goes off even after fixing the sound file bug

Not that this is a problem but a feature that I thought was pretty cool and would like to see if I could have back somehow. Before installing Basix, I was able to sync all my Facebook events onto my calender, but now it seems I can't. Is there a way I could do this?

And is there a way i could customize the drop-down notification menu to add the Auto-rotate toggle?

Thanks!

You could use widgetsoid and make a transparent widget with notification enabled, and have it be for all your different toggles and settings you want to add. Here's an in-depth video about widgetsoid on Youtube: Android Apps In Depth - 01 - Widgetsoid - YouTube

Um, Im having some small issues. Not sure if its rom related or not but its real damn annoying. Randomly my SD card will not be read by the phone, Yes I have formatted it recently as konane said, But it still fails to find it from time to time. Also sometimes my screen randomly selects stuff, This could be a possible smudge issue but I'd just like to point out that this has recently started happening, Could it be an app problem?
