Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

Love the new update but didn't like the browser much so I switched to Boat Browser.

I one I noticed when I bring down the notifications and if its a text message I click on it but nothing happens. Before if you clicked on it it would take you to that conversation. Not sure if it's just an isolated issue or everyone else is having this problem as well

For me that happens every so often.. 90% of the time it works fine though.

The only thing Ive noticed since installing the rom is it freezes up about once a day. The only thing I really do is text and play music on it I havent even installed any apps yet.

But other than that rom is great..

Good job! :D
 
OK, what I did first was flash the rom, then the theme. Then I went to the kk settings & changed it to data so I could use my greedy 4gb internal. The theme was beautiful, I did get stuck staring at the boot animation. But it got stuck in a loop, wouldn't boot. So I tried to factory reset (dunno if that actually works with custom rooms). Didn't work. I tried to restore my backup I made after flashing the rom, still didn't work. Stuck in boot loop. So I reflashed the rom, set the kk to data & have not attempted to use the theme again yet. Internal is showing up as a lovely greedy 4gb & everything is great! Love it! The only problem I did have was distaste to the browser, so I tried to replace it with the stock one. Failed, so I gave up & am using the only play store browser I happen to like. I do have a question though.
The reason I tried other roms after using ct3.75 final, was I couldn't figure out how to get the SD to read as internal. The last rom/kernel I switched to had a horribly low in call volume. But CT 3.75 final & honey bread had normal stock volume for in call. Well... after switching to 3.8, thinking since it's an update of 3.75, the volume would be fine again. It's not. The tones & media volumes are fine. But the in call volume, even on speaker still suck. How do I fix this Bloodawn???
Thanx so much for the updated CT!!! Looove iiit!!!
 
Not exactly sure what version you are actually running of CTMod..... However, for example, if you are running CTMod 3.80, you CANNOT use a theme made for CTMod 3.75 or 3.75.2... and visa verse.... The themehas to be made specifically for the ROM version... this is NOT a ROM issue, but a theme issue..... One of our great regulars ( cwhatever ) made several themes for different version of CTMod......

Check your settings>>>Show All>>>About Phone and see what version of CTMod you're running, then look for themes made for THIS version specifically !

I know the theme stuck the phone in the boot loop. And it was ctn3.8 with the blue flame looking boot splash.
I know certain themes are for certain roms. I am not uneducated to androids or PC's for that matter.

Edit: I have the new 3.8, so both should be compatible, hence ctn-->3.8 ...
As I stated. I flashed the rom, flashed the theme, then set kk to data & it got stuck in boot loop on reboot after that. Had the f-u "buzz-pause-buzz buzz buzz" & did nothing. I never stated it was a rom issue. I love the CT roms. I was just giving details to my actions & the reactions so maybe someone would know why. I was also giving Bloodawn props & asking a question directly in the same post I made.
One other edit: if you read my original post correctly, you'd know what version CT I'm using cuz I said that. And you'd know that I knew the theme caused an issue somewhere cuz I stated "reflashed the rom, set kk to data & have not attempted to reflash the theme yet" then after I said that, I stated I love the rom which makes it clear I knew it was the theme. Please do not reply to my posts as I know nothing about what I'm doing unless you read what I wrote clearly & thoroughly. Thanx.
Blessed be.

Does anybody have the issue that if you reboot, of turn off the device and turn it back up, you lose about 10% of battery percentage?

That's the way any android phone is. Most of the time it's cause the battery stats are wrong and rebooting corrects them. If you reboot again after it happens you'll see you only loose maybe 1%.
 
I loaded this on a friends phone. He got an 8GB/Class 10 card. I did the partition with MiniTools for Windows. I used this without issue before on a ZTE Merit. I formatted the partition as EX4 and set as Primary. The ROM isn't picking it up. Do I need to set something on the ROM itself, once it boots? Or best to kill partition and use CWM to fix partition and set size?

Thx...

Partition mini tools and the prevail do not get along. That's the reason the instructions say to use kouma's sdparted.apk or the sdparted -i command via adb from recovery.(or via cwm if you only plan to use data mode)

What your going to need to do is repartition the card to just fat using mini tool and then partition it using one of those methods :)

Ok, I'll try something from above. Will the Prevail recognize it, if done using Linux? If so what setting: EX4/Primary ?
 
This is, hands down, the best and fastest ROM I have ever used for my Prevail. However, there are a couple of minor problems. When I watch a video on YouTube in fullscreen mode, there are a series of thin black lines on the screen. When I use my camera, there is a crosshatch pattern of black lines on the screen. I don't know if anyone has brought this up or not, but does anybody know what could be the problem?
 
Ok so after using this version of CTMod for a few weeks now I've got a few lil bugs I've encountered. I also loaded it up onto my friends phone because he liked the last mod I put on there and hes not really tech savy so I told him id load him up a nice new mod on his new prevail.

Now I personally dont use a phone for to much other than internet every once in awhile, phone calls, text msgs, and music. My phone is mainly playing music all day long from the time I wake up til I go to sleep. I didnt bother loading any apps onto it yet just incase I didnt like it and wanted to change mods, I hate having to redo my phone over and over lol.

So lets get to it..

Music player stops randomly, not to sure why but atleast 5times a day I have to unlock my phone and hit the Play button again. Now its not really to bad or that much of a hassle, the player doesnt crash so its really no huge deal.

The notification bar when I get a text message sometimes clears it off as I slide it down before I get a chance to click on it. Also not that big of a deal considering I can just go to my messages and see it.

When people send me pictures via text it sometimes makes me reboot my phone to download them.

I usually keep my data off because I rarely use anything that needs it and when I do I can just turn on the wifi. But when my data has been off for long periods of time it wont turn back on from notification bar it makes me manually do it. But even then sometimes it just wont fully turn on. The box ticks but it never turns it on, which is always fixed by a reboot.

Screen lock sometimes freezes but thats really rare. Its happened maybe 4times since Ive loaded this rom.


Oh seeing the post above mine made me remember the videos in the browser dont really go full screen when you turn the phone, but im thinking that may just be the browser so ill just put a dif browser on. Not really a huge deal at all.



So all in all just very minor problems. None of any real concern. I love the mod and really cant wait for some themes to come out for it. Good work :D

Gus has a couple themes out for it.
 
I partitioned the card using CWM "1024 and 0 swap" it looked to work. It's an 8GB card/Class 10. How much should the internal memory show? The phone says:

Internal Storage: 109MB Available
SD Card Available Space: 6.34GB


Thanks

You have to go to kernel settings and select one of the options.
 
After you partitioned in CWM to the 1024, you need to select DATA for the memory to show up....Select DATA, then reboot into Recovery ( CWM ) and format your sdext ( nothing else ), then reboot normally and your memory ( 1024 ) should show up !
 
Hey, thanks for the help. That worked. Friend happy. Maybe that info should be added to the guide.

Would it be bad to overclock the phone? I know it's slower pulling from the memory card vs memory chip.
 
The Samsung logo and the KoumaKernal2.5 logo alternate on the screen endlessly-I can only go back to CWN and try again. Followed the directions to a tee, in fact for 5 different ROMs. I have been struggling with this for about 3 hours. What am I doing wrong?
 
You might not do anything wrong..........

It's just the case that some microSD cards don't work well in the Prevail or with the sdext formatting...... Give another card, another brand a try !!! ;) Usually Sandisk, Kingston and Verbatim work fine for me...... :) Good luck !
 
thats what my instincts were pointing toward, but ive never done this before. I still have the samsung 2gb sdcard. I guess its off to walmart for me.
 
LOL, better get it online, it's cheaper ! ;) Make sure you get a " class 10 " card.... It usually shows on the card a little circle with a number 4 - 6 - 1 ( 1=10 ) !!!
 
Best I could find was a sandisk class 4, now it just shuts down after the KoumaKernel2.5 appears, I guess thats an improvement. I'll track down a fancy class 10 SDcard tomorrow.
