Sup!
I've been loving my experience with my Collective ROM recently (AbsolutionACE 2.6.35, I think), but for no apparent reason my sound (ringtones & notifications only) just stopped working about 4 weeks ago, and neither the stock sounds nor sounds from third-party ringtone apps will work. I cannot hear the preview using the standard Android ringtone select window, but EVERYTHING ELSE works. I can listen to music, make calls, watch videos, etc. but no ringtone will play when someone calls or texts me.
So, I'm left with two options: Either a) someone has an EASY fix for this, or b) I need a new ROM.
If you all would recommend a new ROM, which ROM do you think would be best? I don't like experimental ROMS, and I would prefer an AOSP ROM (stock) of either ICS or Gingerbread.
Thanks in advance guys, I really appreciate anything you have ready to throw my way.

Just wondering what interesting, useful and cool tweaks you guys have been able to make in the MIUI Rom. Im not talking about adding anything complicated. If it can't be done by installing a Zip from SD or an APK then I am most likely not willing to try it since I am such a noob at all this.
I am currently have a couple of issues.
1. I can't dial *228 to activate my phone on my carrier (not even sure that it matters since the phone is working) without the phone FCing.
2. Still can't send a sms over 160. My guess is that the MIUI has the same issues as Cyanogen since it won't work in that rom either.
3. Beautiful Widgets weather wont geolocate.
I love the Rom. It has a great quadrant score! Just wondering if y'all could share your tweaks and such.

I wonder who you are.. haha.
1 and 3 are known, well, spoken of problems. Hopefully they'll tweak it. The second can be fixed by going into handcent/sms app and selecting split messages. Splitting them will still send all of the message itself, but it just splits the characters by 160 for each message.. not really sure what the deal was there, but it works.
RE: MIUI ROM Tips
As far as OTA updates go, try dialing *228+. It does the same thing. (Found this tip on www .droidforums.com).
I installed the Bloodeagle ICS (4.0.3) ROM on my G2X yesterday. It went straight on without any hitches using the clockworkmod recovery/ROM manager. It's not bad. The important stuff all works (phone, data, wifi, camera etc..)
The biggest difference is battery life. It easily added about 3 hours for me, although since I tend to run a lot of background apps, the difference may really be that some of these don't work on ICS and weren't installed.
Some on the cons are...
Android market app doesn't work (I suspect it knows I have ICS 4.x and doesn't like it?)
Even though I have my contacts sync'd, text messages only show up with the phone number (no name) even though the people are in my contact list.
Both of the games I had installed (purchased) are now complaining that I need to purchase them (in order to play the full version).
Some of the non-standard directories I have on my external SD card aren't recognized. (It can find my camera photo's folder, and my QuickOffice documents) but not my Music (mp3) and Pictures directories.
I would say about 60% of my existing apps work OK. I tried to download the Chrome beta browser from the market (had to do it via PC, as the market app isn't working), it says my device is incompatible. (ICS is required, hmmm)
The haptic feedback feels different, smoother, more polished. I really like it.

Hellfire 1.4
I put Hellfire 1.4 on my G2X yesterday and it added probally 6 hours to my average life. All seems to work except for video recorder and wifi calling still a litte iffy. Highly Recommend.
LG O2X
Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, i'm very new at this. And i'm looking for some guidance. I am also new with android phones. Mine is an LG O2X p9990. I did installed CM7 android version 2.3.7 bb 1035.21_20110725. Everything is working fine, phone, email, browser, camera and apps. Sometimes it does the apps crashes here and there but not big deal. But the only concern I don't really like is the call quality, people i call says that my voice is not very clear and they can hear a lot of the background noise. Some suggest to change the RIL. So here is where i need the help, which RIL to get, where to get it and how to change it.
Any suggestions that can lead me to do this in a clear and simple way?
Many thanks!
When I had ril issues I purchased getril and V21e is the right one. Hope you find this use full.

musicafe thanks! I did download the getril and it does says that my RIL and bb doesn't match ...so looking through the options, i can not find V21e, the close i see are: 0823 (V21b [P990H], Canada) and 0824 (V21f, Europe) ...any suggestions?

Thanks again for your help. But actually i did change the rom to NOVA HD+ and now the call quality is way much better... but there's some apps that are not stable at all:clock (alarm to be exact) camera, email from the notification bar and a couple others. Some times phone calls drops down but i'm not sure if is my phone doing that. So far i do like a lot ICS looks and feels very smooth. But how about MIUI do you think is more stable?
Can anyone help me out with finding a Miui or ICS rom that has the secure box feature built in on the messaging?
I'm sure I had one when I took the jump from Sense/Leedroid to ICS/Miui.
But I have gone through all the roms i downloaded few months ago but none seem to have them, I'm sure one did because i remember discovering it and wondering what it was and now I actually need it!
I would prefer an Miui rom (I'm currently on Miui US)
Would really appreciate if someone would take the time just to help us out.
Maybe I have the rom already but don't know how to access secure box feature?
I have googled and researched as best I can but at a dead end.
Thanks!
I haven't tried MIUI Roms but if you use sense 3.0 ROMs you will get inbuilt secure box features just tap the top messaging bar.
or Get an App from Play Store for that
Something like Handcent SMS, Chomp or something like
this one
you Will have to try out the best thing that suits you
I have read with great plasure about the rooting and installation of custom roms on the One X. As a previous user of the HD2, the modding community kept that device alive for months and gave me the experience of installing and using custom roms.
As such, as soon as I'd had enough of the gaudy sense screen and couldn't be bothered to simply slap another launcher on the phone i rooted it with glee and am now running any one of 3 roms (greatly mood dependent)
I have run into 1 significant issue, and i'm sure its a relatively quick fix, however my post count is precluding me from posting in the relevant thread, so rather than being a moron and simply spamming my way to 10 posts, I thought I would ask in the help forum. Never know, someone may have superior searching skills (My 2 hours searching have yielded disappointing results) and be able to give me the information to correct the issue...
When using Navigation and listening to music via Bluetooth which I do on a regular basis while in the car, normally, on all but 1 ROM (My favourite out of the 3 I use) the music cuts for a second, the voice tells me what direction to drive in, and then the music cuts back in again. The ROM in question in the Eragon Rom. Blade Elite and Sentinel all work fine and dandy, but the one I like most, due to its brilliant battery life and good looks, does the one thing that means I cannot use it. I have a feeling its due to the way in which the music player works, it doesn't show up in the task-bar area when its playing.
Is there someway to change the default program for playing music via Bluetooth? Is there a way to fix this issue that anyone can think of, and no I don't want to just use another ROM, I'm a very stubborn person and like what I like...
Thanks in advance for any replies, I am aware of my noobiness and simply wish to learn...

install another music player, we are not allowed to tell you which one as this is not allowed on the forums which is probably why you could not find the info you require( comparisons are not fair to other devs ). best just to try a few and decide which one suits your purpose the best.

um on viperx 3.7.4 and when i play the music in my car via bluetooth it usually stops and dn plays and again n again but when i bring my mobile the closest to it...it doesnt happens :/
So I've rooted my normal T-mo phone, and was fine for a while with the Stock TouchWiz with root.
Then I come across the Google Play ROMs.
This is the one I ended up and am currently using. I tried another one that was a "version 2" but it ended up breaking my WiFi: (never got it to connect again)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026
The issue I'm having is that both of these Google Play Edition ROMs are sending VERY LOW quality pics. I start with a 2.2 MB picture, and it compressed it down to 115K! Very pixelated, and choppy.
Coming from the stock MMS, which was actually really nice to be able to send very good quality pics through MMS, this is quite disappointing.
I've tried to modify the /system/etc/feature_defaults.xml file to change the max height and width for messages, in hopes that might help tweak something; but that probably doesn't have anything to do with it.
I'd love to stay on the GPE ROM, but I really need the MMS quality figured out... Otherwise I may have to restore the TW setup...
Does anyone know how to resolve (and I mean really resolve; not just try this try that) this issue?
Side note: Anyone know how to turn off the shutter sound on the GPE camera?
Once you flash the GE Rom, Tmobile system doesn't recognized it as one of their device. Anytime that happened the server will resize your picture.
Had this problem with the N1 with CM ROM before. Except CM ROM later on implemented a "user agent spoofer" to trick the system.
You can use 3rd party app like Go SMS that has user agent spoofer.
