Root First compcache rom?

[tisti]

Seems the problem was with google apps backup. Cleaned the internal SD card of all old files, reflashed II5 again and now it's working.

before when I restored the apps, it was almost instantaneous, now it took ~8 seconds.

cool

Turn on compcache from the galaxo config app. The whole rom is quite fast, i'm really impressed! So much so that i'm confident I wont be reflashing soon, and finally installing all the apps I usually use on the phone!

The only flaws remaining is the camera button drainage and broken 3D. Hope samsung patches those up.

Wifi teether is pretty damn awesome though. Insanely useful feature.

Edit:
Use backup for root. Backs up everything for quick ROM migration. But nandroid backups are still damn nice to have

 

[kam187]

Yeah. This rom has a script to disable the camera button. I wonder if that totally disables the interupt for it too. Someone test it

he does say in big letters make sure you back up gapps before you wipe and restore after update and before reboot

 

[tisti]

I already had a backup from the v4 recovery. Didn't play nice when I tried to restore it

 

[kam187]

Yeah, you need a backup with 4.1 - not sure why. It seems actually the poblem is that the 4.1 recovery doesnt always do the backup properly. Like you said, if its instant and not a few seconds to do the backup, you need to reboot into recovery and do it again.

Just installed it! Looks and feels great. Definitely recommend installing it for anyone who is considering it. Definitely!

 

[kam187]

Yeah its nice! Remember to turn on compcache tho if you use alot of widgets

KAM,

your take on this please

It should be using the SMSC from the sim card if there isnt one defined in the ME. That's what the default qualcomm baseband does. If you add you're own in the phone, it will just overide the SIM one.

Most western SMSCs don't allow messages from outside their network anymore. In fact they were never supossed to, but alas some people didnt provision theirs properly [I used to work in GSM ]

 

[Rastaman-FB]

i know but o2 do allow it or havent fixed it

thing is, before the update this displayed correctly and could be changed. now with this rom its not possible

 

[kam187]

The only way to check for sure is to open a terminal to the modem device and run an AT command to check the current SMSC. You could also turn on delivery reports and SMS yourself. You should get a report from the SMSC its using, but i'm not sure if it displays the SMSC address in android.

 

[kam187]

I just had a thought. The Galaxo config has a setting called 'provisioning' thats used to allow you to boot the phone with no sim. Maybe thats confusing the settings. Try turning it off and rebooting.

EDIT: didnt work here.

yeah, think theres a bug there.

i turn provisioning off and reboot and check again and its on

 

[kam187]

I manually edit /system/etc/galaxo.conf

Provisioned is OFF now after reboot, but the SMSC number still doesnt show up.

 

[bitxboi]

I'd like to put the Galaxo rom on my i7500 Galaxy, but do I need to be an 'advanced' user to do it? I mean, do I need to understand some technical skills, better understanding of Linux?
I'd love to have a better rom than the original Samsung one, and people are talking good about this one, but I have my doubts. Any experiences to share?

 

[Rastaman-FB]

if you know how to work around a computer how to use command prompt and how to read instructions to the letter then you will be fine.


the biggest problem you will have is getting windows to recognise adb drivers in standard and fastboot.

other than that its easier than it sounds. just alot to take in when you 1st look at it

 

[kam187]

Yeah totally. The best thing to do actually is to turn on USB debugging, and install the adb driver (it'll be the one driver that you wont be able to find after installing NPS). Look at the 'i knew nps was bad but wtf' thread, i uploaded the modified adb driver you need.

Next put the phone into fastboot (Power off, call+power), and install the fastboot driver (again in that thread).

Then take the battery out to get out of fastboot. Now you'll have all the drivers you need installed and be set for any tutorial you like - updating with Odin - installing Galaxo or whatever else.

 

[Rastaman-FB]

fastboot autoboots to normal after 15 seconds


KAM a question,

on the galaxo+ application
if you click the first lcd test and click sensor, are you getting a reading from proximity?

 

[kam187]

Wierd it used to sit there on my phone forever. Only way out was remove the battery. Maybe a new bootloader then.

If i click sensor then put my finger over the sensor (the one next to the speaker), the screen background goes blue, the phone vibrates and the value changes to 1. And back to normal when i move my finger.

ahh i thought that was light sensor


yeah thats what made getting the fastboot drivers installed a pain. cos on recent roms it booted out of fastboot after 15 seconds of no activity

 

[kam187]

Ahh, that's probably both

 

[pegasus21]

ok scratch that.

It seems to be a one off error. Seems to be working after a reboot.
