[Q] Two quick questions about upgrading ROMS

Hey folks!
A friend gave me a hand getting DamageControl 3.5 on my EVO and I love it. I've been told that 3.6 has some new features so I'm going to upgrade to 3.6. I love all the info that's on this forum, but I've got a couple noob-ish questions, I'm afraid:
Somebody mentioned flashing radios/firmwares, where can I find those? Do I really need them?
Evidently in 3.6 there's new battery-saving features. Should I turn off SetCPU now? Are the two features mutually exclusive?
I like the idea of JuiceDefender, but how does the data-limiting feature work? If I launch the email app, will it turn on data or do I have to wait? Will I still get text messages if data is off?
Hmm, I suppose 3 questions
Thanks for your time!
EDIT: Hmmm, I appear to be in the wrong forum. My mistake... if a mod can fix that would be nice.

Unless you're have horrible signal, chances are you're fine the way it is. I believe there's a thread someone in this board (i think i saw it in the past few days) that was keeping track of the current radios, etc. I personally haven't upgraded my radios since i got mine in July.
Evidently in 3.6 there's new battery-saving features. Should I turn off SetCPU now? Are the two features mutually exclusive?
I haven't checked in on DC in awhile, but see if it says anything in the OP. If it's using Calkin's or Myn's ( i forget who ported it ) SetCPU will probably interfere & do more harm than good.
I like the idea of JuiceDefender, but how does the data-limiting feature work? If I launch the email app, will it turn on data or do I have to wait? Will I still get text messages if data is off?
Never used Defender, but i believe it changes how frequently data is poll-ed for. I would think if you choose to manually search for mail it will turn data back on for you. You will still get texts, but i believe MMS won't automatically be downloaded

Responses in bold above.

Thanks for the quick response! I don't care about MMS, I don't think I've ever had a picture/etc sent to me via text in my life.
How do I tell if I'm using a port? I just grabbed the one off the android store.

Call Log...sucks. [Q]

I just recently ugraded to eb13, and now I notice that my texting history shows up in my call log...uhg! I send/rcv about 10-12k txts a month, so yu can imagine what my call log looks like with all those txt's! Is there a way to permanently remove "text history" from call log? I dont particularly want to use the searh filter every time I want to see a recent call nor do I really want a whole new dialer, as that's the only thing I don't like...
Anyway, thanks, all help is appreciated

Supernova ROM includes fix for this. I am about to flash it myself for the same reason.

Bonsai
I use Bonsai4All which also fixes this annoying issue...

Syndicate ROM also fixed this.

any fix without a rom...?

All custom ROMs floating around here had texts removed from the call log. You might try reflashing your ROM. Or copy logsprovider.apk out of any custom ROM with the same baseband as you (EC05) and push it to system/app.

Only if your rooted. K0nane made a stand alone fix to be flashed.

You can also hit the menu button and say sort by X,Y or Z but yeah its an annoying issue..

Why are u on eb13?

Oops it looks like the fix is already active. I guess I hadn't rechecked since I flashed SFR 1.2. It would be nice if there was an "All Calls" option in the View By menu instead of just a behind the scenes hack, but I'm happy with this. Thanks.

here is the fix if you are rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853177&highlight=log. But you should really think about updating to at least EC05. Much better than EB13 in my opinion. EF02 has been great for me so far as well.

MMS is fine. I haven't tried GPS, but the compass displays backwards in Maps like CM7. Navigation should still work like it does in CM7.
Oh, and MMS works on wifi as well.

Tried it out..good stuff but I decided to go back to cm7.

Great post. Would have missed it otherwise.

Same here, I use tethering option in settings menu. Wifi or wired options both work.

The only serious issue I'm having with this ROM is the dialer. Usually when I type the first few letters of someone's name, it pops up. On this dialer, all I get is numbers. Am I missing a setting/option somewhere to change this?

I don' recall AOSP dialer ever doing that, but I could be wrong. To view contacts you just select the contacts tab. I know the Sense dialer does that.

I've been running this ROM for a couple days now, it's great. The only bug I've found is the normal reversed compass orientation, which is a bit annoying but doesn't effect driving navigation at all.
Other than that, everything else (MMS, etc) is working fine. For users wondering what it's like, think CM7 running LauncherPro instead of ADW, and you're pretty close.

Sounds to me like you're used to using the Sense dialer. I don't think the stock AOSP dialer does that.
I replaced the default dialer with "DialerOne", which is free on the market. Take a look if you like this ROM but want to maintain your Sense dialer functionality.

You can change the launcher from liquid settings also. You can choose multiple launchers to install. Goodies---->Change system apps.

"unofficial" S3 AOKP Q/A thread..

It's obvious why I made this. Post all your questions here and hopefully they will get answered. Be patient!
I'll start the thread..
Q: When group messaging with GO SMS PRO (only app I know of that works with iPhone's for group chat) after a few minutes my group messages disappear and all I see are random single digit numbers instead of my contacts with the conversations separated in them. Only occurs for group messages, not individual messaging. Why is this? Something to do with data stability? I'd take an SS, but I cleared all of them earlier. When it happens again I'll take an SS.

Running AOKP and loving it. But can someone tell me what the "swagger" toggle does?

Quick question. If I want to "theme" my bar so that the At&t 4G LTE logo is used instead of the current one on AOKP, How can I do this?
Is there something to download/install?

Does anyone know why I don't have the Motion settings available? I was first advised to reflash, but I found that there was newer version of the ROM available, but even after upgrading to that the motion settings are still not there. Any fix?

1) Because AOKP isn't touchwhiz
2) Flash stock rom if you want that option.

noob question
hey all i have a question or 2.
1- what is the difference between Sammy (Kernel), and AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run train (rom) ?
2- do you flash AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run train (rom) then Sammy (Kernel) ?
yeaaa i know stupid noob question but i guess we all have to start some where.
thanks for understanding.

Bluetooth to headunit
so I'm running latest aokp by task650 &ktoonsez for my sgs3 att, so the issue is when i use poweramp (latest version available on play store) it wont send track info to my head unit, i had someone suggest to go to misc - tweaks and enable both Bluetooth options but i tried that and still just says stop on the head unit. anybody have any ideas? it worked fine in stock rom.

Still having issues with aosp cam with task and ktoonsez aokp rom. The camera works with other camera apps like 360 camera and ucam but not the aosp cam. The exact symptom is that the app will always freeze within 10 seconds of the app opening no matter if i touch the phone or not. The zoom slider never appears and I'm unable to interact with the app like changing the settings or anything.
I have tried numerous flashes including every version release so far. I always do a factory reset in cwm, delete cache partition, dalvik cache, and format system. I've also used the cwm flashable camera fix that is posted in both at&t development forums. In a last ditch effort I went back to stock, performed a factory reset from there insuring that my phone was a complete clean slate and the aosp camera app still didn't work when installing fresh aokp with no apps or any settings changed at all in the rom.
I'm at a loss here as the default cam app works in cm9 and cm10 but I want my aokp damn it!

[Q] Chiming sound is driving me insane!!

Ever since I started using JB ROMs, I keep getting this random two-tone chiming notification sound from the phone.
When I hear it, there's nothing in the drop down menu. Not an e-mail notification, or text or anything (I have all those customized already).
I can't seem to figure out what this chiming notification sound is for. Does anybody here what I'm talking about?
I tried going into the system/media/audio folder to see if I can find what the sound is called, but I wasn't able to find it.
I just want to turn it off, but I'm not sure where to go :-/
I'm guessing it's Google now updating. But when I go into Google now setting, it has a completely different notification sound.
Thanks in advance for any response.
HELP!!!

What ROM are you running? Custom ROM, Stock ROM, or a CyanogenMod ROM?

I'm running the latest Wicked ROM. But I don't think it's ROM specific.
I had it when I was running Domination ROM also. And my friend who's running stock 4.1.1 seems to have it also. However her phone doesn't chime as much as mine does.

I know that it is an issue with some CyanogenMod nightlies with the "Deneb Tone" (I believe) but Stock is most definitely not built on that. I'm not sure I can be much help at the moment but I'll look into it. Your problem is usually known as a "Ghost Notification Tone."

find the chime sound and delete it
Its most likely in this folder .. system/media/audio
Also .. you could be a face-book tone or a Google + mail or chat
do you have any custom chat - email - type programs ?

Okay, I figured it out.
It's the default notification sound from Yahoo mail.
I thought had turned off all notifications for Yahoo e-mail but apparently when the app recently got updated, it turned the notification sound back on again so every time I'd get a new e-mail, my phone would chime. I just turned it off.
Thanks to all who responded!!

No problem!
You also just reminded me to turn my Show Notifications for GMail back on from a few days ago...
