Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

Anyone have any ideas why when trying 3.75, after choosing the "data" mode for the kernel, and after rebooting phone it gets stuck on the Koumakernel screen FOREVER? Everything boots up fine without changing that setting. CTMod 3.68 worked fine with the data option. I have a 1gb ext part. I've read through the post and saw one other person had same problem. I have two prevails and same thing happens on both with 3.75. Any ideas???????? Also have tried, after choosing the data mode, booting into recovery and formatting sd-ext then rebooting and still get stuck on the Kouma screen.

Side note....thanks to Blood and Kouma for all the work they have done for this phone and this ROM. And also to all others who have spent time developing etc etc. And of course to Hroark and Shabby, awsome work!!

Try flashing koumakernel from its thread.

If that doesn't work, try replacing the koumamod.apk with the one from the koumakernel thread.

You could try a fresh install, then just manually re-install your apps.
Just out of curiosity, what class is your sd card and how big is it?

I'm using a 2gb card not sure what class its probably low cause it doesn't say...but I never had this happen on 3.68 maybe ill reflash n start over
 
On the CT3.68 when you initially go and change your ringtone or notification tone a box would come up asking you to choose from a default category, sounds or music. This allowed me to use just about any sound I wanted for whatever. On the new ctmod it automaticly seems to already have only system sounds chosen, now I no longer have that option. So to anyone, or I guess Blood, how can I get back to having the choice or is it not possible within the changes you made?

you can probably use some app from the market like zedge or some shit or you can push the ringtone you wanna use to /system/media/audio/ringtones and select it in the list of your default tones.

Try flashing this. Its an alternative music player (should be the same one that was in 3.68)

http://db.tt/ZCJaDa9c

It should bring the option to choose from music back at least
(Or just extract the app and install it that way.)

Edit-
Or what blood said... :o:D
 
I'm using deadline and on demand 200 min 900 Max. Which is the same as I always use. It seems the lag only occurs during online usage and continues until reboot. I have never had this happen on any of the other ctmods. I have three prevails that I have flashed and all are doing it. Also sometimes I cannot answer the phone by swiping without hitting the power button to turn the screen off and back on again. I truly enjoy the new version though.
 
Hi guys just wanted to say that i have been running 3.75 for a few days and at points i also get lag until i have to eventually reboot or it freezes...I noticed that when its lagging if i go into voltage control it changes my settings ( I usually run sio smartassv2 98min 864 max) i noticed it changes my governer to deadline and even increased my max once....so i decided to remove that apk and try to use voltage control from market to see if i have any difference will report back
 
My phone is rooted, I have clockworkmod's "Rom Manager" and recovery manager program including SuperUser and a zip opener app. I messed with every possibility I could think of, I have 2gigs free in sd with minimal apps in internal
One problem that might have caused this is at one point it asked for a phone model in Rom Manager towards the first options and I clicked a random one, samsung galaxy prevail not being on the list. Every configuration has been tried I have made a backup with a custom name, installed something from recovery app and toggled most options I could think of. Coming home with no music no pictures or anything else I watched the youtube video and he made it seem so easy during the step install from sd card I get this:
on CWM-Based Recovery v5.0.2.7
- Install zip from sdcard
CT3.75-Final-LG855.zip
-Yes

--Installing: /sdcard/download/
LG855.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in /sdcard/download/CT3.
5.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted

I haven't seen anyone with a problem thus far so I don't understand what I did wrong, this is my first time flashing to something other than factory reset newest vers or root flash samsung galaxy Prevail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All of the first pages say DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!!!!! You just bricked the phone and will have to send into samsung! :(

I don't understand then.
Clock work mod
their website features 3 applications and searches come up with rudimentary results on google play and google. Where is this "Clock work mod" app?

it's not an app
It's custom recovery FIRMWARE.
here's a hint, try searching for Clockwork Mod Recovery in that little bar at the top right of the page marked "Search"

ALSO: CT3.75-Final-LG855.zip is not for the m820!

Is there any way of fixing around this? Such as reflashing to samsung galaxy root via odin?
Click to expand...

So Sorry Bro, no way!:(, Samsung is the only way now. Maybe someday someone will find a way but not now. Others have sent in and got fixed no ?'s asked. I guess a warranty is needed and don't know what it would cost if no warranty? Sorry again.

I don't understand, it turns on and works just fine, how can it be bricked?

Did you use rom manager to install cwm? (As in clicked 'install clockwork mod recovery')

And it still boots?

And you have cwm?

do you happen to know what model you clicked?

YOU ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY.

Have you powered it completely off?

EVERY SINGLE person who has done this has destroyed their phone.

it seems to power on to desktop (Or a boot screen with rom manager which I removed) one thing I did notice was pinger wasn't opening, I checked apps and it gave the com.etcetc. with no logo so I uninstalled them as well. I deleted clockwork Rom manager from my phones sdcard via usb storage, I am currently in downloading mode however "Found new hardware" Msm7x27 which did not download immediately, and google shows them but I am sure they are scams or bugs.. thus being where I am now. I haven't explored the desktop so much, I was looking into titanium backup instead for a moment before being to where I am now, so I can only assume apps still work, and boots same as always.

When you boot into recovery what does it look like? Did it say Clockwork Mod Recovery at the top? I have a feeling you only installed the app and nothing else.


Is this the screen you saw

Or something similar to this:

After downloading Rom manager I viewed everything settings etc, to access some of the prompts namely "Install Rom via sdcard" it required the cwm recovery manager app. The app as you know only having 4 prompts on hand I believe 3rd one down asks to download something cwm rom manager related I believe which took a few seconds. after that going back to rom manager to view everything again including settings I did the permissions and after much frustration after not installing the rom I partitioned my sd card removing everything in the event of not enough memory for it to run again a theory, this is probably why pinger didn't work, I didn't remove the zip file opener and a moment ago after everything was on one screen it didn't load since I partitioned the card it wasn't there for backup, the only thing that shows can be moved to sd card is app cache cleaner (not moved due to the widget) all of the bloatware is still on the phone including the annoying Activate device now!! Superuser still works and shows the logs and acceptions, contacts are still there as well being under the internal drive my only other app downloaded other than gmail; Last.fm loads perfectly fine. Superuser has always since I first used it been set to ota survival, Recovery manager was allowed 4 times under the apps section of superuser and the log shows a million allowed created or denied's showing 25 entries (me toggling the system myself) I should note prior to removing the apps cwm apps were defaulted to access permissions on the phone again a theory. Other than that there is only the msm7x27 problem..

The boot is as always normal
Samsung mobile screen
samsung galaxy prevail screen
boost
and then Samsung logo screen then unlock.

Hope that helps.
 
and to the pictures, I saw both. The first being a not so good looking one, the blue logo at the top not there nor the transparency. I wrote the screen down actually for reference before
CWM- based Recovery v5.0.2.7 with the option delete dalvik cache selected
So yes during the reboot to install rom I seen the second screen with the rom manager logo in the background and to the error a triangle exclamation point. and then the installation aborted code I posted previously.
