SMS Hotfix to Test

Greetings All,
Well after 1 1/2 days of searching with no help or guidenance from anyone, (Sorry but alittle annoyed that no one likes to help, but I'll get over it) I managed to wrap up a hotfix for our SMS problem with lagging and not beng able to txt. I am currently testing this to see how it is working, and so far, on an install level it went without a hitch.
This is not a fix for a noob, I STRONGLY suggest noobs do not attempt this hotfix, I am not responsible for bricking, crashing, loss of data, or frying of your phone! I assume no responsiblitly and if you attempt this you are doing so with knowing the risks that come with this!
Now since that is out of the way:
This hotfix is actually the last hotfix for the HD2 that was dated 1/24/2010. As far as I know the last fix corrected the issue of being able to txt while the thread loaded in the background, and since Seppi the good soul came up with migrating the fix to tp2 but was a much older version (1.5.2011.2130) I decided I wasnt waiting for HTC and decided to take their HD2 hotfix and do the same thing Seppi did and here it is.
HotFix Compatability:
All 2.07.40x Manila 2.5 Roms. NOT COMPATABILE WITH ANY PRIOR OR FUTURE ROMS. All Languages Supported.
You Have to turn off Manila by going to Settings/All Settings/Today/Items and pick windows default. Also make SURE HTC messaging is not running or the hotfix will not install.
It will ask you to install either on the Device or SDCard. MUST BE INSTALLED ON DEVICE.
Fixes: (2)
1) Fixes the SMS lag we all have been dealing with and not being able to type as the whole thread loads. Now SMS's load in background.
2) So Far fixes the loss of contact picture, this is due to a resetting of the phone and associates SMS's to sim card and loses association with phone contact.
Known Bugs: (3)
1) Same as in the HD2 at times the screen when rotating from landscape to portrait might mix up the last line where the last line and the one above it merge, going back to landscape corrects this. Does not happen from portrait to landscape.
2) All prior SMS's might not associate with the corresponding phone contacts.
3) This MAY reset your MMS settings and will need to re-enter MMS info. based on your service provider. You can reach this by tabing to Msgs/All msgs/Menu/Settings/Options/Menu/MMS Server. Select SampleMMSC to change your settings Manually.
Or going to Settings/All Settings/Connections/Connections Setup and going through the wizard again.
Notes:
I have attached two files, One is a direct install with no way to uninstall it, this is how I have it setup and is working. The other file has an uninstall feature incase of anything can be removed. I have not tested the one with the uninstall feature to see if it would work that way, but Your free to test it out.
To know if the hotfix has been applied, to go Msgs/All Msgs/Menu/About if successful, your app build should be 1.5 (Build 2011.3631) The original version on the TP2 was Build 2011.3831.
Any comments good or bad Feel Free.

75 Views and no one has anything to say? Gee wonder about that one.
And no one willing to try it huh? Well I can tell you this much it has made a difference so far, and it seems it might have fixed two POSSIBLE problems as well:
1) I have no SOD as of yet since doing this, even with weather animation.
2) No screen going black while typing or right after hitting send.

What can I say... If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
Others who have this problem might chance it but since I don't I'm not gonna stuff up a stable phone just to see if it breaks it....

Oh it's broke alright. I haven't looked in these forums in a while. I gave up waiting for somebody to get a fix for this but I was curious and decided to take a peek in here to see what people are up to. The reason "it ain't broke" for some people is because they either don't have much sms volume or they clean out their inbox on a regular basis. For those of us who have a large volume of sms and don't have the time to clean out our inbox, it's definitely broke.
Anyway, you don't know how happy I am to see this fix! Thanks so much. I'm going to try it and I'll report back.
One question though...You say it's for manila 2.5...I'm not real fluent with the whole manila speak so I'm not sure if this will work on my phone. I've got a att tilt2 with the stock 6.5 rom running spb mobile shell. Will this update work on my phone?

Explanation: People like me see the title and wonder: "What's this?". So I click on it and see it's a solution for a problem that I don't have and haven't even heard of...so I have no comment on it. There's no big mystery about it nor any reason to take it personally.

The Stock 6.5 that came with your phone is WinMo 6.5 Manila 2.1, it will not work with this version I do not suggest it at all. This version is for anyone who HardSPL-ed their phone and are using any of the generic HTC Roms without any Service Provider Bloatware. I would Add Customized Roms to the list but I think most Customized roms removed the 2.5 msging app from their cooked roms.
MCbrian
The people who dont have this problem either are using stock Roms from providers that have the 2.1 version of the app which didnt have this issue, or are people with the New Roms that are not heavy sms users, Or are using cooked roms without the 2.5 manila app in the rom and have reverted back to the WM msging app.
BTW FYI HTC didnt make the new msging system, its a 3rd party app, originally made by Jataaya, but was bought out by a company in india called ComViva which actually makes the app I believe.

Hi
Just installed the fix: looks like now SMS application has much better options, it just works better. I restored 500 messages, as for now it works smoothly. No hung after sending message. I'll test it for few more days, but even now I can say it fixes the buggy app!
And quick question: bulid version of the fix suggest it is 'previous' version (3631 instead of 3831). How is it?

and regarding SOD: had it 3 times already since instaling hotfix, but it is not rather related to hotfix. Just want to tell that hotfix doesn't fix SOD...

Glad to hear it fixed your problem. Question, did you use the uninstallable cab or the direct cab?
The reason for the version difference again is that HD2 software versioning is different then TP2, HD2 jumped from 2031, where The stock TP2 6.5 Manila 2.5 had the 3831 Being that its from HD its the same app but different build #'s.
And thanx for the feedback and about the SOD being the only one who was using it and not having the issue anymore I thought maybe it had something to do with the fix, but thats why I said POSSIBILITY cause being the sole user I had nothing else to go on.
Glad I made a difference. Thanx.

I used version with uninstall option. After another day of testing I confirm it fixes the most annoying behaviour of HTC SMS app. Sad that many people complain about the bug, not many want to try the fix- just look at the threads...
Regarding SOD: I contacted HTC service, they advised to upgrade the firmware (that's why I had to test the hotfix), now they say I have to 'repair' the device. I'll try. My company uses more than 40 TP2s, I am the only one who enocounters SOD. Maybe it is really broken...
Once again - thanks for the fix!

OK, I've installed the un-installable version, so far it seems to work well - the HTC messaging has never run so quick.
I'll keep an eye on it over the coming days.

much more smooth now! thanks!

Agreed, I also installed the removable version and it seems to work all ok, certainly much better than before!. This maybe a coincidence but when I flick through my picture album now (full screen images), sometimes it takes 2 or 3 'flicks' to get to the next image, don't remember it being like this before. It could be that the images are about 4mb a file, hhmm, will have a look at this.

The SMS Hot fix does not change any files that have to do with HTC Album, so it either is coincidence, or you were not aware of it before. But I assure you the two are completely unrelated.

That's what I thought, have just resized them, now only 1.49mb a file Definately better so must just have been a coincidence, will resize again properly when I'm back home to see if it's any better. flippin annoying! lol.

I have tilt 2 energy rom, will this work for my phone? the sms lag is bugging the crap out of me.. Thanks in advance!

AD_SMS_HotFix_w-Uninstall
I just installed it on two us t-mobile hd2's. One is the orignal rom and the other is the updated rom. Both are responding much better to sms. The new rom is working almost perfect 99% better than it was. The orignal rom has 85% ish increase in speed so I would say that this cab is very much worth the install.
Thanks for you work.

AD_SMS_HotFix_w-Uninstall
I figured I better give some more info.
I lost no sms info on either device.
I have had no issues in any of the other functions on either phones.
So again thanks for the work.

The official Rujelus22 Blu Kuban FAQ

Due to the recent quantity of repeat questions in the forum I have decided to make this guide to the Blu Kuban rom by Rujelus22. I hope to answer most of the basic questions to limit these FAQ clogging up the forum in dev. Feel free to suggest any questions I may have missed. Thanks to Rujelus22, MoHoGalore, TrayLunch, Venum, Sn1per117, Esoteric68, ThirdCoastRaised,Mark.J.Linskiy, 1brainsurgeon, and anyone else who has helped out in the Blu Kuban forum. I will be maintaining and adding to this as necessary.
For anyone looking to link on a specific issue or just trying to find a problem,I have organized the posts into sections.
Post 1- Intro and installation
Post 2- The ROM updater
Post 3- Commonly asked questions
Post 4- Current/Version specific issues
Post 5-Helpful links
Disclaimer: I am not Rujelus22. I did not create this ROM. I am more than happy to help with any issues you may have, don't be afraid to ask.
Installation
Prerequisites: you must be on a custom recovery with the ability to flash zips. Your Android version is irrelevant if you follow the steps below.
Q. How do I install the Blu Kuban?
A. This is taken from the OP. I have elaborated where necessary.
1. Download the rom and the format all x2 script. They are both available in the op here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625535 Place these in the root directory of your internal storage or somewhere you can easily locate them.
2. Check to make sure your MD5 sum matches what is shown by the download link.
3. Boot to a custom recovery. It is not necessary to ODIN back to EL29 but it will not harm anything to do so. Just make sure you have a CUSTOM recovery with root.
4. Make a nandroid backup of your current setup. If desired backup your apps with an app such as Titanium Backup before changing any rom.
5. Go to flash zip from SD card or flash from internal storage depending on where you stored the files in step 1. Run the format all x2 script. This does not wipe your sd card or internal sd storage, only the system files and installed apps. Its the same as a factory reset, but MUCH safer as it will not trigger the EMMC bug.
6. Flash the Blu Kuban rom.
7. Reboot the device. This boot will take slightly longer than usual, but should not take over 4 minutes. If you do not see a boot animation by this point you may have a problem and need to start over.
8. *This step is optional.* Once the phone has completed booting, go into the system menu and select Rom Updater near the bottom of the menu. Select Put Things Back to Stock and locate and install Full ROM Part 2. Select reboot and install if it says the MD5 matches. Part 2 themes Google Talk to match the rest of the rom. If you don't use talk, you don't need to do this step.
9. Congratulations, you are now running the Blu Kuban ROM.
Q. I am already running Blu Kuban, but how do I update to the latest version?
A. Check what version you are currently on. This can be found in the about phone section. If your version is only one version old, you can update directly. (Ex: you are on 1.0.4.3 you can update directly to 1.0.4.4 If you are on 1.0.4.2 or below, you will need to perform a clean install.) You may either install the UPDATE in the op or go into the Rom Updater and select Rom then check for update and install. There is no need to wipe.
Q. A cartoon guy with glasses just popped up in my notifications, what's the deal?
A. Congratulations! You have just been blessed with an updated version of Blu Kuban. Check your Rom Updater for the download, reboot and install.
Q. I heard there is a new version, but I don't have a notification yet. Why?
A. One of two things could cause this. If you are more than one version old, you will be unable to use the updater. Perform a new install. Otherwise, you may have changed a setting in the Rom Updater pertaining to checking for new updates.

---The Rom Updater---
The heart and soul of the BK rom. Here you can customize your phone in a number of ways. Make sure you read any notes that Ruj has put in the description of the mod. They are usually very important and will keep you from messing up your phone. I will break it down by the sections of the updater.
Updater Basics
Q. Can I flash more than one mod at a time?
A. In general, yes. However if you are flashing more than one modification to a given area, it may not work. Don't try to flash a new lock ring image AND a lock screen mod that changes the secondary button. They both modify the same file and can cause issues.
Q. Ok, so how do I flash more than one mod at a time?
A. After your mod sucessfully downloads with a good MD5 you will be presented with 3 options. Cancel, Ok, and Reboot and Install. Choose cancel. Download your other mods and chose cancel on all of those. When you have finished picking them select settings-> downloaded files from the rom updater. Check all the mods you wish to install and click install. Your phone should reboot instantly and install the mods.
Updater Sections
ROM
You can update to the next version of BK rom, find the xda homepage, and donate to RUJELUS22 here.
GENERAL MODS
Various mods including removal of roaming notification, restoring stock sounds, add/remove ad blocking, disable rotation and CRT animation, charging LED mods, and change screen shot file format.
LOCK SCREEN MODS
Change your lock ring image or modify the secondary lock function. Default is camera. Currently the lock screen only supports unlock and one secondary function. If you need more, feel free to install an app such as GoLocker.
BATTERY MODS
There are several different battery display options here. The default setting for battery display is the red battery bar at the top of the screen and no clock. Image (icon style) battery indicators will not work until you install one of the options on the bottom of this page. Install your preferred combination of clock/battery bar/image battery. Then chose the image or color bar you want to use. If you wish to display a numerical battery percentage, go to system menu -> Display → Display battery percentage.
STATUS BAR MODS
Various WiFi icons and images for your notification pull down.
BOOT ANIMATIONS
Do I really need to explain this one?
LAUNCHERS
Several popular ICS launchers themed for awesomeness. Default is Apex Launcher.
ADD-ON APPS
Lots of removed stock apps and new ones too. Many have fixes to fit the theme. Note that TW widgets and some TW apps will not work unless you are using a TW launcher.
THEMED APPS
These are already baked into the rom. No need to install these unless you went back to the stock unthemed app.
KERNELS
Source based awesomeness. If you don't know what a kernel does, just keep on moving.
All kernels listed are verified to work with BK.
KUBAN KERNEL TWEAKS
You can choose various governors to tweak the kuban kernel. Don't run these with the AGAT kernels. This section is currently in testing.
MODEMS
All of the leaked ICS modems. Modem performance is very subjective and device specific. Try them all to see which works best for you.
FIXES
Most of the time this section will be empty. Any problems found that need to be addressed before the next release will have a patch placed here.
PUT THINGS BACK TO STOCK
Your lifeline in case you screwed anything up and home of part 2 of the rom install. Make a mistake changing those battery icons around? Flash back to the stock status bar here. You can also download the full version of the rom here to make it easier to come back after testing one of those “other” roms.
STOCK GOOGLE APPS
Don't like the themed GAPPS? Want the latest version that just dropped in the market? Uninstall the themed version first, then get the stock version here.
UNINSTALL APPS AND MODS
Just like it says. If you installed it in the updater, get rid of it here.
LABS
Wanna see the not quite ready for prime time stuff Ruj is cooking up? Grab it here.
INSTALLED APPS
A list of everything on your phone. Anything marked with a red ! is a system app.
SCRIPTS
Reboot your phone, refresh your battery percentage (you flashaholic!), and get log information here.
SETTINGS
Various settings for the rom updater. Downloaded items from the current session can be batch flashed here.

Miscellaneous Questions
Q. Hotmail/Exchange/Live/Some M$ based email isn't working. How do I fix it?
A. You just have to use the test server.
Put in your email address and password then choose the manual setup up button.
Select exchange
Username: (is full email address @live.com or @hotmail.com)
Password: (your password)
Server: debug-m.hotmail.com
All other boxes are left with default settings.
BTW This is not a rom issue. This is a hotmail issue, this fix should work for all roms. Microsoft is changing a bunch of stuff on their end to sell more windows phones and its not playing nice with the default options on android email apps.
Q. Why does my lock screen weather say 90° C?
A. Damn that's hot! You've got a little touchwiz issue there. Go to settings-> display-> lock screen weather settings.
Change it to celsius, turn your screen off, change it back to Fahrenheit. All better!
Q. Can I change the DPI of this rom?
A. Technically yes, but it will break theming among other things. Rujelus22 does NOT support any DPI changes and has no plans to in the future. Don't ask. Questions on this topic are usually ignored.
I've seen the custom icons in the ROM revert to the stock icons before. DO NOT USE DPI CHANGER IN THE MARKET. It will Bork your install and get stuck on the splash screen. The app of choice for this is ROM toolbox.
A little more education on the topic, courtesy of Sn1per117.
Sn1per 117 said:
Theming isn't broken at all until you go past 180 (might be 190 I can't be certain right now). The only things that will be affected are the phone dialer and calculator being smaller and the market not showing some apps. The dialer and calculator you can use as is or use replacements. The market can be made to show all your apps if it eventually starts not showing them with a simple mod. I've applied that mod to the market in my mods thread/my website.

I have personally run it at 190 with very few theming issues. The only one that is really noticeable is the URL box in chrome doesn't like the non standard DPI.
Q. Why can't I read this menu/button. It just shows up as black on black.
A. This is a fairly common known issue. It is caused by app developers forcing text color. Any dark themed rom will be plagued by this. Please note the name of the app and where you are having the issue in the main thread. If there are enough requests to fix a particular app, a fix may get added to the updater.
Q. My status bar just disappeared. What happened?
A. This happens if the systemui crashes. It will come back on a reboot. Most commonly this is caused by flashing battery and status bar mods that are incompatible. i.e. flashing a battery bar and image battery, but not one of the dual battery status bars.
Q. I think I just messed up flashing a mod from the updater. It doesn't look the way it should. What can I do?
A. When in doubt, use the “return to stock” section in the updater. This will get you out of trouble 90% of the time after flashing something new.
Q. Can you add a 4g toggle on the notification pull down?
A. No, not at this time. There have been issues trying to implement this. A good workaround for this is click settings on the pull down and the 4g toggle is right there. Or use a power widget available in the Play store. When he gets it working, it will be added.
Q. Why aren't my contacts importing at all? Why is contacts app crashing?
A. Odds are you have a corrupt contact that you are trying to sync. Try to locate it via a web browser and delete that contact. They should import after that.
Q. Why is my rom updater crashing/hanging/ not displaying all options?
A. This usually happens when you have a poor connection. Connect to wifi and try again.
Q. My notification light isn't working when charging. What can I do?
A. This is a known issue. Until a fix is released you can use either Blink, or Light Flow in the Play Store.
EDIT: This has been fixed as of 1.0.4.8
Q:I can not install x program on my sdcard
A:The Rogue kernel that comes with the ROM does not allow installing to the sdcard. Unmount the sdcard and install the app.
Q:I can not update x program from the market
A:If it is a themed app. They can not be updated from the Market. They must be updated from the updater. You can also always uninstall the themed version and install the market version.
Q: Why is Part 2 so small?
A: Part 2 only contains the second part of the Talk theme. It should be small and flash fast.
Q:I downloaded something from the updater but it did not flash?
A:Try choosing the Flip SDcard name option in the Updater settings. If not all zips downloaded from the updater can be flashed manually through CWM.
Q:How do I change the keyboard?
A: Ruj removed the annoying ICS keyboard notification so to change the keyboard change it in the system menu.
Q:Is LOS an issue like on AOSP?
A:*No, no one has seen any sort of LOS with this ROM.
Q:What modem comes with this?
A:None. Your current modem will be retained. All Modems can be flashed after the ROM install from the updater.
Q:Will you theme Facebook?
A:No, Facebook is to time consuming, It will not be themed it anymore.
Q:My battery life is not that good.
A:Check to see if anything is stuck running in the background. This ROM has shown great battery life. Check out some of my links in the next post. They can really help with battery life.
Q:Will you offer more colors?
A:No, It takes forever to theme a whole ROM. There is so much changed theme wise I will not be making other colors. Themers are more than welcome to have a shot at it.
Q: Can I install a different font?
A: Yes. ROM toolbox isn't recommended. The best way is using flip fonts. Ruj has a repository of fonts here in apk format. Just download and install.

1.0.4.9 & 1.0.5.0
Both of these builds require a full wipe on install due to major system file changes. Follow the install instructions for a new install, not an upgrade.
Issues in 1.0.4.7
Anyone that uses the touch sounds option will notice the clicks aren't working properly in this version. Check the fixes section for a keyboard fix.
Issues in 1.0.4.5
Some users were reporting slow charging rates. There is a new version of the Kuban kernel in the updater that addresses this. Please download and install.
Issues with current version 1.0.4.4. Keep em coming guys.
Q: After updating to 1.0.4.4 Gtalk keeps freezing and crashing on me. It worked fine in the previous version. How can I fix it?
A: Talk 1
Talk 2
1. Remove all talk and data (everywhere) /data/app/ /data/data/ /system/app/ and reboot.
2. Talk should now be gone not even showing up (If it is there is something you did not remove)
3. Flash Part1 of Talk. (Reboot and you will have the half themed talk)(But it will work)
4. After you have Part 1 working Flash the second part to update to 4.0.4 and to finish theming.
If that does not work then I have no idea what you did and I would do a fresh install.

Various links and awesomeness.

This is an awesome app for finding battery hogs. Look at the bottom of the second post for the free version for XDA users.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
I posted this info in another thread asking about bad battery life and find myself linking people to it all the time, so I am just going to repost it here.
I work at a battery shop. Granted its mostly car batteries, but deep cycling any battery is hard on it. Personally I avoid going below 10 percent if I can help it. That being said, I wouldn't throw it on the charger until around 50 percent. Every battery has a limited number of cycles. So unnecessary charging will reduce battery life as well.
Constantly reversing current flow is almost as bad as draining it completely. Fast charging is also bad news. The slower you can charge any battery, the better. So steer clear of any chargers or apps that promise shorter charging times. They will just generate more heat. And as we all know a hot battery is a bad battery. I actually mount my car dock right next to my vents so I can keep it cooler as it charges. I use an OEM Motorola charger because it controls the voltage. My old moto back flip wouldn't work with a generic charger that didn't have this voltage control. Now I won't use anything that doesn't have it. Got it on amazon for 6 bucks.
Yes I know a lithium ion battery is not the same as a car battery, however all batteries work on the same premise, just different chemical makeups. I've seen batteries explode, catch fire, and boil themselves dry. A swollen battery is extremely dangerous even at these low currents and voltages. Any swelling OR becoming concave means get yourself a new battery.
(someone then asked about battery dropping 20% after a reboot)
Battery can drop significantly on a reboot. It does not necessarily indicate a problem. I've lost 40% before on a reboot. However the length of life was still roughly the same. In fact I actually saw battery percentage rise 2 - 5 points an hour for 4 hours before. Getting the exact state of charge for a specific battery at a specific point in time requires a little guess work. The amount of guessing is reduced when there is a constant in the equation (remaining on for a while). Rebooting takes all the consistent data the computer has and throws it out the window. You can't accurately tell the state of charge by voltage alone, but that is the only data Android has to work with. So it has to compensate as best it can.
To continue the car battery comparison:
A fully charged car battery will read 12.6V. A reading of 12.3V will equate to roughly a 60% state of charge. In order to get a more accurate reading we use a hydrometer to pull the acid on each individual cell. If the battery just came off a charger it could read over 13V. However if one of the six cells is bad it will reduce the total voltage of the battery by 1.5V. This will come close to that 12V reading. By checking the individual cells I can determine the battery is in fact bad. But merely checking the voltage, one might think it is just discharged. This is the limitation Android cannot overcome. Now if you think of the phone battery as only around 3v (I forget the exact spec) divide the above numbers by 4. That .3V difference at 60% just became .075V. As you can see, it won't take much to get an inaccurate reading.

wow nice job RP, and anyone who hasnt tried it yet, this rom is remarkable, there is nothing like it for this phone

Glad you guys like it. I spent the last few days reading every post from the last month and a half just to make sure I didn't miss any of the common questions. Stole a little of Ruj's original FAQ, (got the OK first of course) but for the most part its all brand new. Now we just have to hope the noobs start reading it. Split it into seperate posts so everyone can link to the appropriate section. I may not dev, but I can train dammit!

Very nice
You might want to add a little more to the dpi section. Theming isn't broken at all until you go past 180 (might be 190 I can't be certain right now). The only things that will be affected are the phone dialer and calculator being smaller and the market not showing some apps. The dialer and calculator you can use as is or use replacements. The market can be made to show all your apps if it eventually starts not showing them with a simple mod. I've applied that mod to the market in my mods thread/my website. I think that's all for now once again, great thread so we can point people somewhere to look

nice ROM
keep doing a excellent job

Maybe you can add the visual voicemail issue too. Maybe provide a link to the updated stock visual voice mail app. I know some people don't use google voice.
Great job with the faq!

I remember seeing that a few days ago, but didn't take note of whether a fix was made. I don't use VVM. I only use Google Voice. Shoot me a link to the post and I will get it in there. Post 4 is going to become the current version issues section.
Also I added snipers post about the dpi changes to the appropriate section.

[Q]CM10 Flinny Test build

Hi XDA,
I'm currently running latest Flinny CM10 test build (125), and an issue I've had for a while is that even when the phone is locked, but screen is on, I can pull down the notification bar and do actions. Is this normal? Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be switched off? I am using Apex launcher.
Cheers.

As far as I know this is a standard behavior since android 4.0 (ICS). There is no settings to disable it.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong
EDIT: If you have enabled screen security (pattern, PIN, password) you should not be able to pull down the notification bar. You should be able to pull it down only with slide lock.

I enabled a simple gesture unlock and yes now I can't pull down the notification bar.
It still seems strange that this is normal behaviour.
Thanks heaps!

yup... That's normal...
I also face some issue which is the ROM could not connect to external gps device... I think that's issue exist in CM10 since have same issue with galaxy smtd...

Yeah I don't have working orientation, light or gyro sensors still. It seems like some people have this problem and others don't depending on hardware revision.

Sorry for writing sth different here but i didnt want to create a new topic, so...
I had this andromadus version on my DZ but i didnt find any pre installed camera app, anyone else who had this or do i have to reload the rom (maybe sth went wrong during downloading)

Just wondering... Do u install gapps? If not, you should do that when u install it for the first time (after you install the rom).

I love this ROM, everything I generally use on a regular basis works fine. My only real problem is this ROM is a serious power drain, within an hour of being unplugged in the morning I have already lost 10% of the battery, by mid afternoon I am forced to plug the phone back in, this is something of an issue as I work at hospitals and plugging appliances into the mains is a violation of health and safety regulations, but I need my phone so I do what ya gotta do. Is there any way to reduce the drain from this ROM as I am fairly sure it is not any applications I have installed causing it, as none are running in the background when I check running apps.

plug it in to a computer with a logcat running, see what is going on that way. or if you aren't able to sit in front of a computer for a while watchdog is a nice app for this (keep in mind it should be for testing basis and be removed later as it to will always be running in the background)

evernote makes phone slow
I am using this rom (build 124) and I have and after restoring all my apps it became really slow. After some try/error I found that uninstalling some apps solved the problem. After that I started installing my apps again one by one and I found installing evernote make the phone near unusable.
Anybody is experiencing this? it also happen if I install "camera 360".

I am running build 127 of this ROM which definitely seems faster than build 126 which was the first one I tried and seems to be quick enough to actually use it most of the time.
When things do go slow it seems to be when switching to a new app and seems more likely to happen is the new or old app is big.
Regarding more apps slowing things down I wonder if it is actually more widgets and background services. If this is, as I suspect, do to with how many apps can be cached in RAM for fast switching then the more apps have something running in the background, for example to sync with a cloud service or to keep a widget updated, the less RAM there will be for the apps you are trying to use and there will therefore be a greater chance the app you are trying to start has to be started from scratch.

These threads really need to stop, Flinny's test build is just that A TEST BUILD problems/issues are expected.

I think it's normal...anyway it don't obstruct me

In my case I am certainly NOT contributing in order to criticise. Of course I know a test build may have issues but, like many others I suspect, I am happy to try the latest thing. When things don't work quite right it is worth discussing it. If we can understand what is happening we can help each other mitigate the issue and maybe even have something useful to feed back to developers.
I was running build 127 and things had become very slow. I have now updated to build 128 and the phone is fast again. At this stage I am not sure if this has anything to do with the new build or whether it is down to apps. I have all 45 apps installed but for many of those that sync to cloud services I have not yet got round to setting up the username/password for that to happen so this may be limiting the amount of background activity to a level where it doesn't get in the way. I'll try setting some of them up and see what happens.

[Q] Questions on newest PAC3 build

First off, kudos to Chilly for allowing me to use JB on my Dinc2. Thought I was going to be stuck on CM7 until an upgrade. Now, maybe I can use the upgrade so the teenage daughters will have fancyphones (a bill with four smartphones would be an ugly thing, though).
I flashed the newest PAC3 and wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing any of the few bugs I've run into (I first just updated, saw some of these problems so I wiped and installed, but they persisted).
1. SystemUI crashes: I saw a mention of this on the development thread, but it seems isolated? On that thread it was mentioned that it would restart, but mine doesn't always restart (or, at least, restart quickly). It seems like it will restart when there is a new notification, but not always. No particular pattern to when it crashes, either. I didn't have this problem on the May builds.
2. It seems like there is a longer-than-usual lag after disconnecting from WiFi before it picks up mobile data. Again, not something I noticed on the earlier builds. I use Tasker/Profile4Tasker with the CM profiles, and I thought it might have something to do with that, but I've got it set now so that all profiles allow mobile data.
Other than some general lagginess at startup on some apps, everything else seems to be working. The SystemUI crash is the biggest hurdle; it basically renders the phone unusable until it decides to restart or I reboot.

System ui is just the status bar and such nothing terminal or anything and yeah no telling when it will happen or what triggers it. I use a different launcher than trebuchet like apex or at times nova which helps semi with the lag. another way is also trickster mod from the play store to OC the kernel and apply at boot or even the "other" kernel thats floating around.. hey our phones ain't young anymore things slow down as we get older so will our phones... Yeah thanx to @chillybean our phones are Jelly Beaning like a boss

Thanks for the tips. I didn't realize another launcher might help with the lag....I actually was _not_ using one thinking it would have the opposite effect. I also am trying Trickster MOD.

[PORT][UNOFFICIAL] Cyanide-L for d2tmo (5.0.2 Lollipop)

All credit to this ROM goes to rogersb11. The only thing I did was change the install script so that it works on the d2tmo. With that said, this is an unofficial ROM and is not supported in any way by the original developer. That means don't go bugging rogersb11 with any questions about this. It is unsupported. It is only here so us d2tmo users can enjoy his kick ass ROM until and if there is an official port.
I will help in any way that I can, this is what I am using for my daily driver right now and I love it.
The camera does not work. I don't use my camera much, so I am fine with that for now. If you need a working camera, then this is not the ROM you want on your phone.
A few notes before install.
Thanks to rogersb11 for the Cyanide ROM, TheGeekyNimrod for the d2att port, without which I could not have done this, and leonid002, because without his assistance, I would not have even known how to do this to begin with.
First let's discuss the bugs:
The AOSP Keyboard will continuously crash on you from the first boot. Make sure you have a Google keyboard APK at the ready. This ROM comes with ES File Explorer, thanks to rogersb11, who put the ROM together in the first place, so you should have no problem installing any APKs you need to install, even before replacing the keyboard.
Install Google keyboard, then disable your AOSP keyboard. One this is done your keyboard will work just fine.
The phone will self report as the i747, that is where this ROM came from. As soon as I find what I need to change to fix that, I will update.
I believe the camera bug is still here, havent tested it yet, so just download Nexus camera from the Play store.
Other than that, works great so far.
Anyway, now it is time for the... Wait for it...
DISCLAIMER:
Despite the quality of this ROM, it is an ALPHA build.
Neither I, or any developer is responsible if you brick your device in any way, you're neighbor steals it, your nephew flushes it down the toilet, or you somehow travel back in time to an alternate 2012 where the world comes to an end in December, resulting in your phone being destroyed. Any damage to your device is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
You should be able to use any current Lollipop gapps with this ROM.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Download ROM below
Install a recovery if you don't have one (I use TWRP Multiboot, found in this same forum)
Factory reset (wipe Dalvik, cache, you know the drill)
Install the ROM (link below)
Install Gapps
Reboot into Cyanide
Install Google keyboard (or maybe your favorite alternative, SwiftKey works, not sure about anything else yet)
Disable AOSP Keyboard
Enjoy.

One thing I like about this ROM over CM12 is that the option to adjust your DPI is baked right in. Another is the darker theme, and the fact that you can wake with the Home button once again.

Have a great day!

Here's something for the webOS people: Download the app Swipe Home Button from the Play Store, and configure it so that swipe up brings up recents, and swiping far up brings up the app drawer. Do this and swap the Menu and Back buttons, and it feels that much closer to a Pre, albeit without a keyboard, and on much better hardware. I still wish I knew of a way to modify the recents so we could implement webOS 2.x like card stacks in some form. I will be trying to learn how I might be able to do that in my free time though, that was always my goal since I got an Android phone, was to try and make the UI as intuitive as webOS was. Lollipop delivered with that in a big way, but I guess I'm a little OCD and am nitpicking the small details at this point. I'm not sure how much of it is lollipop, and how much of it is from the Cyanide coder's skills, but it's snappy as hell, and definitely made huge steps towards what I wanted to see Android become.
Now just to get rid of Google's intrusiveness (because let's be honest, you lose much of the functionality of Android if you don't install the gapps) and still keep the functionality of fundamentals like the app store, Maybe a third party solution, kind of like Preware, would be the way to go about this? That still leaves the issue of fragmentation with different apps being in different app stores, however. Either way, this is the best Android has gotten for me, and I can only hope it gets even better, who knows, maybe somewhere along the way I will learn a thing or two and be able to help get there.

another rom to play with thank man

In the future, I do plan to start officially building this for d2tmo. Just got a few things to get straightened out before I do. I have the device trees and everything, just gotta tie up some other ends before I dive into supporting two devices.
That said though, I will need testers as I don't own this particular device, and maybe someone to help d2tmo users trouble shoot problems that crop up specifically for their device.

So I've been running this all day and coming from latest nightly build this isn't bad at all still has some work to be done but its loli-goodness on our ol s3 that being said I did have a few hangs when listening to Pandora when trying to turn on screen an switch songs was at work an unable to see what exactly happened anyone else ? BTW thanks again
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app

The only things I've noticed so far are as follows:
Firefox makes Metro PCS think I'm tethering for some reason, except for, ironically, when I have request desktop site checked. Opera works great though. Not to mention, if you make sure to go into the settings and put Opera on Phone mode, the look and feel of it just kind of flows with Lollipop's multitasking cards, just horizontally scrolling and vertically closing.
I heavily dislike Chrome, so I don't use it, and couldn't tell you if it works or not, because I haven't installed it.
The stock browser kind of hung on me one time, but I haven't been able to make it happen again.
The phone shuts off without warning, it seems as soon as the battery goes down to 14%
As far as Pandora, I really haven't installed it, because I have Rhapsody. I may give it a shot and see what happens.
The Firefox issue probably has something to do with the lollipop user agent, as I know that this is how Metro blocks tethering. Still weird that it works fine with the other browsers though. Anyway, due to issues beyond my control, I probably won't be online for about two weeks after today, all my bills came up due at once so my phone bill will have to wait until next payday. The extra days off work the week of Christmas really put a strain on my finances. Sure I'll probably hit a hotspot from time to time, but my phone is my main internet connection at home. Hell, it's faster than cable internet or even any DSL connection I've ever had, so why spend the extra money? I'm really surprised how well MetroPCS works in Denver, even without an LTE phone. The HSPA+ is plenty fast. Before the T-Mobile deal, I had a Metro CDMA phone, in Texas, and it was atrocious.
But yeah, I have WiFi at work so I can keep checking in from time to time when I'm out on a smoke break, plus, I'm definitely keeping an eye out for new developments.

I just got the new build installed, the dark color scheme is awesome. I just left in the check in the installer script for the d2att this time, and added one for d2tmo, maybe it will help anybody who may be testing across multiple devices.
In this one I've noticed the AOSP keyboard is working fine so far.
I will upload it as soon as I get the chance.
If you dirty flash over the previous build, make sure when you install the new build to reinstall the gapps. After its finished wipe the cache and dalvik, otherwise Google Play services will just keep crashing.
After reinstalling gapps, wiping the dalvik and cache, I got one Google play services error, but it hasn't seemed to affect anything.
Everything about this is the same as the build from rogersb11, I just edited the install script so that it installs on d2tmo as well. Just like the earlier build, it will be unsupported. There are bugs, and on an early build, that is to be expected. But so far, I've definitely seen an improvement.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app

Installed and running pretty smooth. The previous build would randomly advance my clock by 5 hours and would show all incoming calls as from "private". The new build however does none of those things.
So far on the new build, music has crashed once but relaunching it fixed that. I was not sure what nexus camera to get, not to mention their permissions were a bit crazy so I went with Open Camera and it works fine.
Thanks for taking the time to make and port this. The t999 is starting to fall to the way side and I cannot afford a new device so being able to run 5.0 is a blessing.

Working perfectly Thanks to all the devs over at d2att right How come no devs have d2tmo?? Smh.

No SIM
Hey did a clean install and the rom is telling me I have no sim inserted? Anyone else running in to this issue or have a quick fix? I tried editing APN's but it wouldnt save???

Try installing the older build first, and then install gapps, let it run it's first boot, and let everything set up. Then reboot into recovery, and install the later build, reinstall gapps, and wipe cache and Dalvik. Then boot again as normal.
This has resolved a couple of issues for me, although I haven't gotten the insert SIM message with either of these builds. Can't thoroughly test anything until the end of next week though, my phone service is cut off until I can pay my bill on the 15th, and my WiFi reception where I'm at is spotty at best (on all my devices).
Also, I am on MetroPCS, not T-Mobile, I'm just using the T999 on their network.. Which I guess is also the T-Mobile network. Not sure if there are any major differences or not.
The only issue I've had was with su, and after installing SuperSU, a couple reboots, the last one was after changing my DPI to 240, I was able to gain root access.

You may need to update your modem. I don't know about the T-Mobile modems and their availability, but for most using d2att in any LP rom, this has solved that issue.

Yes I was able to resolve this by updating to the latest baseband/radio. Resolved the problem immediately, I used the latest one available dated march of 2014. Hope this helps.

OK. I encountered one major issue that was a bit scary. Everything was working fine at the first boot (except for the sim card). But, I turned off my phone. I then powered it back on, but it wouldn't boot into Android. It would just get stuck at the initial boot screen and go black. I was able to fix this by removing the battery and restarting it. If anyone experiences this issue, try that.
I tried turning off my phone to boot into recovery, and the same problem happened. I'm going to reinstall the ROM and see if the problem goes away.
