I think Frankish just 'arrived' ;-)

Splurged. Thanks for the massive effort daz and co.

Good work

Massive changelog lol:D

[Frankish]

Very performance related changelog. Hopefully wifi bug will be permanently gone for EVERYONE now. Bonus if hw decoding works too. Who needs jellybean?

R3 phone freezes & reboots when wifi turned on, came from Stock+ with full wipe

Erm, that should be *impossible* now, unless there's a separate issue. We had someone test this with a 100% freeze rate before.

[MrPuddington]

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but the WiFi bug seems gone. Good work!

[pepdavies]

All good so far. Thanks :-)

well this is the 1st time i am trying this rom and i can tell you it looks perfectly possible to me mate :-) actually, to correct myself, it does not reboot it's stuck on the CM9 boot logo :-/

What wipes did you perform?
What version of cwm are you on?
If it's freezing during boot, what makes you think it's wifi?

Just gone from r2 to r3 via OTA update... and i'm seriously impressed by how smooth the process was.

Video playback now works fine in the gallery, youtube works fine, and i've just installed Iplayer and that works too.

[tyrol_gangster]

data, cache, dalvik
cwm 6.0.1.8.
it freezes immediately when i turn the wifi on, then reboots buts gets stuck on the CM logo
just did another wipe, the phone rebooted ok, turn on wifi, same result - freezes immediately

[tcpaulh]

try formatting system, + factory reset + install rom again, just for a totally clean install

Edit: but your symptoms at the moment are similar to a wifi large page allocation deadlock...which is very odd to say the least.

formatting system didn't help but not restoring (wifi networks) from Google Account seems to have done the trick. apologies if that's something I should of known

[Dazzozo]

It should actually be impossible now. The allocation is marked as "no fail". There's another allocation (smaller) that takes place before, but I've never seen it fail due to that. Logs would be pretty handy if you have adb around, a logcat won't suffice:

adb root
adb shell cat /proc/kmsg

Now that's just really weird. I've seen it all.

ok, a question, please...

with this ROM, if I want to use the 2gb int sd card for apps (I also have external sd card which i want to use for music etc) all I need to do is tick the storage configuration / use internal storage checkbox or do I still need to install the Link2Int (or even Int2sdext2) mod? I did search the forums but the explanations are not 100% clear.

also I still need to use Link2SD rather than S2E without further manual scripting, right? (liked the latter more on my Blade as it was a simple all or nothing tool)

[fjpalacios]

Good job Daz, no freezes for now here. Thanks for the R3.

'Use internal storage' has the same functionality as it did on stock. It swaps your default SD card. It does no magic regarding apps, just simply swaps the primary SD card.

Whatever you do besides that is up to you.

[Frankish]

Managed to crash/freeze phone by rapidly toggling wifi and hotspot. Although the freeze this time was the crt animation going realllllllly slowly off then screen off with capacitive lights on and no response but no reboot either. In real world use will probably never freeze.

The 'use internal storage' option will basically use the 2GB partition as an sdcard, so your music, pics etc will all be stored there as well as any apps you 'move to sd'. If you leave the storage configuration to sdcard and use the Link2SD mod you can use that 2GB partition as proper app storage as you would with a 2nd sdcard partition.

@ Daz; thanks for the update. Grabbing it now.

[tyrol_gangster]

Dazzozo: yeah 'It swaps your default SD card as it did in stick' is what I read elsewhere but what does that actually mean? i mean ok so basically you say if I want to use the 2GB for apps I still need the MOD but then should I have this settings checkbox selected or not? applying the logic I know from Blade, the answer would be yes (apps saved to internal which however gets linked to EXT4 by S2E) but here I am led to believe from what I read the answer is no but I can't get my head round that. i don't want the apps on SD card (the 32GB one I inserted) cos obviously they're lost when usb connected to PC.
