When I use the new kernel wit basix it makes my phone freeze up a lot an a lot of apps force close... is there a way I can fix that...

Thats probably from overclocking. Back down on the max Mhz

Scrollocked · Dec 9, 2011

I've also experienced several freezes since I've installed. What I'm curious about though is with electric sheep do do I still need v6 supercharger to force close stuff. Or des this new kernel take care of that? I just unsupercharged and reflashed the the sheep to see what's up.

INSURGENCY · Dec 9, 2011

i Dl'd it on the 4th and havent had a single force close, as a matter of fact i used to have more force close without it.

BennytheReaper · Dec 9, 2011

Does anyone know why the Electric Sheep kernel wouldn't install?
I click on 'choose zip from sdcard' then it says, 'finding update package', opening update package', installing update package', then 'installation aborted'.
What can be the reason the install gets aborted?
I really want to hear that Voodoo Sound!
If it's as great as Basix, then well, my girl is already getting jealous that I spend so much time with my phone!

Kernels don't cause FCs. If you have any, clear cache and dalvik-cache. Freezing can come at too-high OC levels. 1.3ghz is not supported by all devices, even 1.2ghz may not work for you.

You got a bad download. Download from a different mirror and try again.

BennytheReaper · Dec 10, 2011

Thanks so much k0!
My phone is like a rocket ship now!
I donated, sorry is wasn't more.
Christmas is killin' me!
Now if I could just make my notification sounds work.
Keep up the great work.
You rock!

The notification sound "bug" has been discussed ad nauseum on these very forums.

What you need to do is open up the file explorer of your choice (I use Root Explorer) and with r/w permissions, browse to /system/media and delete the ".Nomedia" file from there, and delete it from the /system/media/audio folder, and from any subfolders under /audio that you find it in.

Then reboot your phone, and enjoy those sweet, sweet notification tones.

Thank you. I now have more hope for my Indulge thanks to you, and your team's hard work and dedication.

DMRCKR · Dec 11, 2011

I'm having a problem with the sound, it starts to crackle as I touch the screen, most noticeably when I scroll.

I didn't have this problem when I first flashed the electric sheep with the corrupted su
but when i flashed the newer one the crackling started.

--Edit--
Sound problem fixed, just a series of bad flashes :S

I've deleted all of the .nomedia files on the phone that I've found.
Still doesn't make any notification sounds.
The custom menu is there in settings to set a sound, and that gives me a preview of the sound but when I get a text it's always silent.
I've been through the forum for many hours searching, I haven't found a fix yet.

After you delete the .nomedia file you need to reboot the phone for the change to take effect.

It still doesn't work.
Doesn't even vibrate anymore.
Check that:Vibrates sometimes.

However everything else is crackling fast.
The UI, excellent.
Media scan used to take forever!
Now it's nothing.
The icons take a minute to initially appear after boot.
Not a big deal though.
The battery life improvement is worth losing notification sounds.

Are you using GoSMS or something or just stock?

Stock

All I've done is Basix, after that the notification sounds stopped.

Then I did the Electric Sheep kernel.

Everything else works excellent.

Except notification sounds and the icons after boot/reboot.
Which may have something to do with the launcher, pure speculation.

I use the "rings extended" app so i dont see the notification prob you guys are talking about

Thanks, I'll try that.
Actually the 'missed call' notification works fine.
Just the texts don't have any sound.

'Rings extended' didn't solve the problem.

Thanks, that's a good app but it still doesn't work.
Just the text notifications don't make a sound.
Email, missed call, that stuff still makes noise.
Which doesn't make sense to me.

mikegLA · Dec 14, 2011

It might sound stooooopid of me to ask but after that comment, that's all I can think of:
Did you ever go to setting->sound settings and change the notification volume slider all the way up?
Might aso help to check the box linking notification volume to ringer volume...
Aside from that, try a volume setting app on the market that allows changing of the different volumes on the phone separately... widgetsoid has a widget that does that.

cafonez · Dec 14, 2011

Thanks K0nane and to everyone else thats working hard to make these things possible to all of us. I promise to donate as soon as I get some cash. Will this ever be possible for the R915 model?

Im still gonna donate even if it isnt, your work is greatly appreciated and made me love my indulge.

glo1234567 · Dec 17, 2011

The only stupid question is the one not asked.

I checked the volume sliders, they're all at max.
I tried Widgetsoid but it didn't work.
I'm pretty much giving up on it. No big deal.
At least it vibrates still.
Thanks!

update 3/11/2012
Just so anyone else doesn't get stuck with the same issue as I had.
I finally found a separate sound setting in Messaging/Settings/Notification settings/Select ringtone.
That was set at silent for some reason.
This fixed my issue.
Now to the brain issues...

Just download the notification tones and put them in ur media folder then u can use them. Or just cut and paste because the files are still there. To the media folder on sdcard
