Does this happen even when dialing out? I know there are settings for voicemail to automatically play on speaker, but never heard this issue before for phone calls. And I don't think 5.5 is being supported anymore. Marcusant has his own rom now which us based off 5.5.

Yeah, revival is the one.
As far as the speakerphone issue, I have run just about all the ROMS out there for EI22 and have not seen or heard of that issue. Have you installed any 3rd party apps that would interact with the dialer, like Go Dialer or anything like that? Its a very weird issue indeed, but sounds like a corrupted file maybe or something. Not being a dev, the best thing I can come up with is to reflash the ROM.

If you still have the theme zip, extract the .apk , and save it to your sd card. Then install. Or if you backed it up with titanium you can restore it from there.

Yuh..thats the funny part...i went from acs 5.5..to mar revival...then proper wipers..installed the same theme...5.9...but this one doesnt have the blue black gmail for some strange reason? U think reflash of theme is in order? This is weird. What i also loved about acs was that gmail didnt auto update so i neednt not be bothered but i would like to have that blue black gmail back doe...any suggestions!?!?!?

Also...i thought i would try what you suggested and i noticed that the gmail.apk is not in shake and bake zip file...is it possible that it was included the acs 5.5 rom and not the theme itself.? If so..what next? Same process just dig within the rom?

Definitely possible just find the .apk in the 5.5 .zip and you should be good to go then.

Random instant reboot?

I've been on aokp milestone 5.2 for a few days and I didn't know if it was related to the rom or something I did or whatever but I'll be texting or on Facebook or doin something and my phone will just go to the boot animation of the pink unicorn. And I should probably mention that the colors are out of whack for a few seconds before it goes back to normal and boots up.
Edit: Everything's still there when it boots up everything's where it should be and nothing is missing or anything it just literally reboots instantly without warning or notice.
Edit: Could it be that I'm using advanced task killer? I figured it was okay since it was on the high security level setting, just throwing that out there
Thanks for any help.

No solution to this? It's the same as when I posted this thread, 100% random as far as I can tell. I don't notice anything specific that I'm doing when the reboots happen either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got no help but I can say that this ROM ran totally smooth for me for a while and then suddenly got laggy, and apps have begun not responding regularly.

It is usually either a kernel panic or running out of RAM. You could try the V6 Supercharger for the RAM issue. As for the other I would always try odin clean stock then root and flash ROM and do not restore any data. Download and reinstall 3rd party apps fresh.

Use to happen to me also when i was on AOKP. I only noticed it when i was listening to my music tho....all my VC settings stayed the same after it booted back up so like you said it was just a random reboot. I installed V6 and that worked for the most part. The reboots did start back later on down the road tho.....

If by stock battery you mean the battery it came with then yes. I'm also running aggressive settings with v6 supercharger.
My only real concern was if it was damaging my phone in any way, or if something had already been damaged. But as I've said I really can't see anything out of whack aside from the reboots and colors. (the colors get inverted or negative or something for a few seconds on pink unicorn boot animation then goes back to normal and boots up)

This also happens to me. Same way. But usually when backing out of a text or when ending a phone call. Stock battery. V6 and no v6. Stock kernel and nyan, sammi, and shadow. What I noticed about the reboot is that it doesn't scan sd card or media.

Solution to this is to go back to a TW based rom...try sleeper or the peoples rom, joy and profit

Is it time for JellyBean?

I have been using various TW based ICS Roms for sometime. Darkside, Infamous, etc. I have been so excited to use Jelly Bean and try out project "Butter" I notice there is an official stable release for Cynogen mod 10. Is it time to flash? I get anxiuos about it because I delt with an old HTC HD2 for a year and there were lots of "work arounds" and such. It became rather annoying. So I really like BLN notifications, and having a camera that "Just Works" and decent battery life etc. Are these things I am going to sacrifice. And also, if I wait until there is an official release of JellyBean for our device over the next couple of months would we see more stable builds shortly thereafter? Would it be worth waiting another month or two? or is time for JellyBean? Just curious what folks thoughts are about this? Who is using what? How it works etc? I am really looking for a DD something I can be happy with awhile. I can always just do a Nandroid and hope for the best I guess lol. Thanks for any input!

I would definitely try a jb rom I was hesitant at first,but now I wouldn't go back. On the liquid rom and it runs great.
I believe the camera will depend on what gapps you flash, I'm using the justun bean gapps. Bln works fine and battery life is good ( I'm using the kko kernel)

Definitely try CM10!!
You will fall in love.
I know exactly what you are saying about being hesitant because you want something that just works, without a bunch of additional issues to fix.
I always seem to find problems with other other roms that push me into looking for something else, NOT HERE!
CM10 is just so polished, It even fixes things that didn't work in any TW rom for me such as being able to send / receive MMS while connected to wifi.
It even has BLN built in and activated from the start.
I must say that CM10 + T989 = THE BEST phone experience I have EVER had with any phone.
I was getting so sick of going through so many wrongs, always to end up having to settle with some negative.
Everything just works with CM10 on our phone, and works well at that.
I finally dove in with the nightly CM10 builds about 2 months ago and now the official CM10 release.
Not a single lock up, force close, reboot, glitch or problem here in the last 2 months.
Battery life is really good, phone is smooth and fast, and most importantly it's super functional.
Everything works so much better for me than with any of the TW roms.
I love how CM10 is minimalistic and fast, yet has so many functional improvements and additions.
In my opinion it is hands down the best rom for our phone.
I think the fact that there is an entire team of developers working on CM is what makes it so good, it's not just dependent on one person like most roms.
Flash CM10... fall in love with your phone all over again!!
And after you flash CM10, flash this GAPPS http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

Well thanks for all the input. Especially in regards Cyanogen Mod 10. I may try that very soon. I'm excited about Jelly Bean! May be time to make the switch...

With how easy it is to do a backup/restore of phone these days, I find it easiest just to backup what I have and dive in to a new rom because the worst case is that you have to spend 5 minutes for it to restore if you don't like the new rom. Good luck! Hope you enjoy it!

I guess there is always the chance for a glitch, but usually it works fine, at least I haven't hit any yet

So I did it ! ! ! ! I like it so far. The aesthetics are very nice and I did miss the customization of Cyanogenmod. The only thing I notice right off is the BLN notification is craaazy. Doesn't really work. I have adjusted the setting to "always on" and other things. I even downloaded the BLN notification app. the settings also do not stick, it blinks even though I have it set to always on. Any thought on this?

I'm not really sure. I never installed bln or tried to customize it, I just left it stock where all the buttons blink when I get a notification.

Thats a good idea. I just read in the Cyanogem Mod Stable notes that the kernel was tied into the ROM very tightly especially with project butter. Whatever that means. So maybe I will try another kernel. Do you use an app or just the system settings?

Had the ROM about 2 days and I do love it. Everything really seems to work better. Even some games run smoother. I am running the hotcakes kernel. I couldn't find the kang one.

I have not had any issues with the gallery,camera, or video recorder whatsoever. In fact, I took over 200 photos and 10 videos at a concert this weekend. I haven't seen any issues with it in the CM10 thread either, so I know it's not a common CM10 problem. Are you running the stock CM10 camera, or have you tried flashing the 4.2 camera? I know the 4.2 camera has some issues, thus why it's not stock on CM10 yet. I would say, try clearing your camera / gallery cache. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad flash. Make sure you wipe data / reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, flash the rom, flash gapps, clear cache / dalvik again, fix permissions, then boot into CM10. Never had a problem doing it this way. I'm using 2.2.2 (i think) TWRP touch recovery. As far as the outgoing call issue, I have not had that issue either. Occasionally someone can't here me when they call me, or I can't hear them, but not very often. I had this issue on stock and every rom though.I think it's just a Tmobile issue. I'd say try some different radios. UVLE1 has been good to a lot of people.

Google Map/GPS Broken

My GPS doesn't lock anymore. I think it may be something with the phone itself because I've tried more than four different ROMS and it searches for GPS/location on all of them.
I am using the latest Pacman AOKP ROM as my daily driver. I tried another GPS app (telnav) and I got an instant lock. I also tried the GPS fix app but that didn't help.
Does any one know what might have gone wrong or have suggestions on how to fix it. Thanks

Actually I was in AOKP and then I flashed the latest version of Frosty, but my GPS was working after that. Then I flashed a few different Kernels to see which one worked better. I flashed Ktoonsez first, then Deviant, and finally I settled on Xone Kernel. It was then that I realized my GPS didn't work. So I'm not sure what messed it up.

I flashed Ktoonsez first, then Deviant, and finally I settled on Xone Kernel. It was then that I realized my GPS didn't work. So I'm not sure what messed it up.

I'm in the same exact boat as you, I've tried a bunch of things and still nothing. I've tried Odin to complete stock and factory reset in settings still no gps at all. I'm probablyggonna go to t-mobile tomorrow to get it fix. And trust me that's something I don't want tto do.

Make sure you ODIN back to T999UVLEM, that seemed to have worked for me. I had ODIN back to another one (cant remember which right now) and it didn't work.

Thank you. I was about to give up fixing my gps.
I tried other jb builds (custom and stock).
I tried other stock ics builds.
I tried those gps "fixes" on the appstore.
..nothing.
Finally tried the FIRST ics build (T999UVALEM)..worked!
phew...

Auto Rotate Issue

OK. Have a question that I hope someone has an answer for. I am a flashaholic. I flashed Touchwiz dream rom a couple of days ago. Wasn't my thing so I went another direction. Here's the problem. Auto rotate now won't work on any rom other than touchwiz dream. I can flash 10 other roms and auto rotate wont work. Flash touchwiz dream and it works again.
I have searched and found something about making sure that use calibration data is not checked inside the advanced settings in touchwiz dream. It is not. I have checked on every other rom I have flashed and auto rotate is turned on. I am at a loss.
Any help would be appreciated. I need auto rotation but would really prefer not to have to stick with touchwiz dream just to have it.
I have also flashed the Odin GB08 rooted restore and still no auto rotate unless I flash Touchwiz dream.

I was about to suggest flashing a stock rom when i got to the bottom of your post.
The only thing i can think of is flashing a stock non rooted rom and give that a whirl.
After flashing gb08 did you check your auto rotating right away? Did you load your apps then check?
The reason I mention non root is to give the phone a sampling of pure stock. I would say that 5mins after flashing should be sufficient time for rom to settle and check your settings.
By the way, what phone do you have? Touchwiz dream doesn't ring a bell in these here parts.

Are you sure you are in the right forum? The Only Touchwiz dream ROM I found was in the T-Mobile Galaxy SIII Forums...

Touchwizdream is new to the Epic 4g touch. Here's the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170942 I will try to flash a nonrooted stock rom and see what happens.

OK. So I flashed the GA10 stock nonrooted and still no auto rotate. I'm at a loss. Can't figure out why auto rotate won't work on any rom other than the touchwiz dream

I had this problem. The only thing that fixed it was flashing wild for the night 02/15, set my phone on a level surface, goto advanced and check and uncheck calibrate data a few times, but leaving it checked before hitting calibrate. Now flash whatever rom with the recommended flashing process

Thanks to you and Omar08. That worked. Amazing.

hmmm, I'm gonna try this too, I've had this problem, but not from a touchwiz rom. I went from slim rom and then flashed to miui 3.2.22, then rotation was borked. gyro works, but no rotation. went back to one-click stock GB08 then only camera would rotate, but not gallery, then back to EL29 stock and same thing accept I found in GB EL29 that if I held the phone sideways and shook it like crazy eventually it would rotate. the thing that was confusing is that (in EL29) using the sensor box tool, rotation worked fine. the level bubbles rotated without any delay.
I'm downloading the 2-15 wild for the night now and will post back with my results. This is so weird, you'd think a full restore to stock would reset your sensors...

Holy cannoli! It worked! After trying so many ways for over a week now finally rotation works! I was worried that my accelerometer was busted. Thank you so much!
Now to link back to this from all the posts I've made trying to figure this out... :laugh:

I tried the 2/15 and it didn't work.
