Cheers, mate. This thing is handy-dandy. Thanks for updating.
Thanks rmk and pfak!
If you remember me complaining about garbled calls, I started reflashing my radio and using this patch everytime I would flash a new rom, and I haven't had one garbled call since.
Maybe it's a coincidence, but I'm pretty happy and think that this has helped my issue.
Btw, I have been using the 03.02.18 radio since I believe it was from a Bell Canada release (my carrier).
Thanks!

Thank you for this great tool! it does make it so much easier to test. and previously I did notice an improvement when matching the ril files, although right now I am testing without matching.
but my question is why does no one talk about matching the files "libganril.so " and "librilswitch.so"?
is it known that they are the same? or have they been overlooked? I believe that they are part of the rildeamon.
does anyone have any information on these libraries?
Thanks again for your hard work!

I experienced the importance of the relationship between Radio & Ril with Windows HTC devices. I'm no dev but I've had my suspicion from going thru the threads and reading what people were experiencing flashing the same Roms and Radios.
I'm glad the Devs figured it out.
Once I saw the thread, I installed the patch and let it do its thing because I new I had a mis-match but issues weren't bad enough to try and fix & in the process...break something I couldn't fix.
I'm still a noob with Android & the G2 is my 1st Android device. I started with the HD2 w/Android but that don't count.
With all these words, just trying to say thanks.....
Install the patch people, it works

Not sure if it's just me, but I applied the update for radio 26.08.04.16_M and started losing 1-2% battery per MINUTE. Flashed Ultimatedroid 3.2.0 again and I'm back to about 3-4% battery per HOUR

This is exactly why I state that the matcher is not to be used on aosp roms. UD is an aosp rom. Please read the details before reporting issues, as this was erroneous, being that you saw completely expected behavior.

My apologies. I wasn't sure if mine was an AOSP rom (I tend not to know a lot of things). At least I know now!

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? loool. MAX I get is like 20 hours on a full battery. Do you not use your phone at all??
RMK: I installed this with your slightly modified leaked Sense 2.3.3 test ROM, so far working perfectly. I am using a NAM Bell Desire Z on Rogers network. Radio version: 26.03.02.26_M. Will post if I observe any problems. Thanks.
I ran this auto patcher on my CM7 before I saw people saying not recommended for Cyanogen lol. What is the best way to "undo" that? Put a different radio on? or what about different radio, auto match, then go back to this radio? My data speeds are insanely bad, 9kbps up, 6kbps down. Unclear on if this is related... but I just wanna do what I can to fix it.

Just re-flash CM7 on top of your existing install. You may also need to re-flash the gapps package after doing so.
Ahh, so I've had it fixed for a while now lol. Thanks. Wasn't sure if it was something on a deeper level than the rom's like the radio itself

A quick question on this:
This tools needs a Sense ROM to work, but does this also work on GB Sense ROMs? Or will this have no/negative effect?
With the flurry of ROMs available, but not alot of time to really tinker, evaluate, troubleshoot etc, I'm looking for a real no brainer ROM to flash. CM7 seems to be so popular, but I cant understand why since I hear of so many things that are "broken" like GPS, etc.
I'm obviously a noob to this, wondering why CM7 is such a winner in the community?

Cm7 and other aosp roms are the way to go If you want the best battery life possible and there is a fix for GPS
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Personally never had a gps issue, but CM7/AOSP offers the bets battery life and performance.
I tried every possible fix and only one temporarily worked. The ##clrxgps# or however it was expressed from sense trick. Others have had the regular flashable zips work though. Cm7 was great until I actually needed GPS..sadly made a wrong turn because of this "GPS currently lost signal" every few blocks..got into in accident the next day...not cm7 fault but..had I been on a stable ROM (GPS-wise) I wouldn't be a laughing stock right now lmao. MIUI has very reliable GPS. Just saying.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I also heard BT was flaky as well.
Is it too much to ask for a ROM with CM7 battery life but fully working 4G, GPS, BT, and WiFI? lol
Anyway, Thanks for the feedback all. I guess if battery life is your number one priority, its the way to go.

I use GPS Status from the market. run that every few days and everything is gravy. i use my phone to track my bike rides... so yeah gps mos def ain't broke
to answer the original question cause CM7 is the best
As far as the gps goes, browse around the forums here, plenty of options of fixes...but I recently went to the evo deck rom, its another aosp running 2.3.7, found it to be much cleaner and less buggy than cm7, and it still offers the different theming which imo is what makes cm7 legit.
I've only been rooted for a couple of weeks and went with CM7.1 stable because of its notoriety and large set of peers. That way there are a lot of people in your shoes if you run into issues, though I've had things go really smooth so far.
I flashed the GPS fix and that was easy. I can't really think of anything else that was "broken." Since then, I've flashed a Tiamat kernel and replaced the CWM Revolutionary recovery with the new Amon_RA recovery (3.08). It's very fast and stable in my experience... plus it looks really nice.
CyanogenMod include native theming support (also known as the "T-Mobile Theme Engine"), a codec for the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, a reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS), as well as other interface enhancements. CyanogenMod is also stated to increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases.
CyanogenMod is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, Inc. together with original and third-party code.
Although only a subset of total CyanogenMod users elect to report their use of the firmware,as of 7 December 2011, CyanogenMod has recorded over 900,000 active installs on a multitude of devices.
Cyanogenmod has some of the top devs around the world working on it from top to bottom.
realizing the "official" ICS update may never come (at least for a long time), I have played around with a few ROMs so far - both ICS-based and GB. For some reason, each and every ROM I have tried offers some kind of glitch - at least on my phone - sometimes the phone won't boot back up, some ROMS won't connect to certain T-Mobile services, etc.
While I certainly realize that the DEVs work feverishly to cook these things (which I definitely appreciate), does anyone out there have any recommendations for a pretty solid ICS ROM for the T989?
I have been on Darkside Beta 5 for over a week, in my opinion it is very stable, no call echo and the rotation is clean. There is the Wi-fi issue, but then again every ROM has that problem.
Everyone will have different opinion's but it is my preferred ROM.
Darkside UCLE2 Beta 6 is the least buggy out of all of them from what I have experienced. If u want GB then Digital Warfare is by far the best for battery and overall smooth operations. Since I use my GS2 for work day in and day out - I prefer to just run Digital Warfare 2.7..
Beta 6 like the last guy said. We'll get official sometime, but it won't be as good as tdj's

Official ICS is coming in 9 days bro, be careful saying "never"
I am on the 4.2.2 [OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v2.2 - d2spr ROM, and although I really do love many things about it (Very efficient, non glitchy, extremely smooth and very good performance), the reception on 3G is not so good for some reason / bordering on non-functional. Wifi, I believe, is also a bit slower than my previous ROM, but not by that much. I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 that is on Verizon's Page Plus service (3G only, which works fine for me as I am not a heavy net user on the road). I previously had the new JB Goodness Reborn ROM (TW) for Sprint and it worked really well. My reception on 3G was typically always 5 bars and was very responsive and fast on both 3G and wifi. On the Liquidsmooth, the 3G seems to be perpetually at 1 to 2 bars near my house (mostly 1) and 3 at most in the thick of the city (most likely right by a tower), and I do not live that far away from the city at all. A very close suburb, in fact. I have taken it in smaller towns and it is even worse. Extremely slow. It's quite slow near where I live, but extremely slow anywhere out of the city to any degree, which was not the case with JB Goodness Reborn (TW). I even switched ROMs back and forth in the more rural areas, and noticed my Reborn ROM was loading webpages just fine, while the Liquidsmooth was struggling to load a basic page.
I am running a KT747 kernel for both the liquidsmooth ROM and the Goodness Reborn ROM. I was running the included Lean kernel before on the Liquidsmooth, and noticed it was having 3G reception problems as well, so I don't think its the kernel.
And yes, I am aware that AOSP Roms often display the data reception only for the bars as compared to TW with can display both the data reception and voice reception combined in one, but I can tell the speed is ridiculously slower at times on the Liquidsmooth, whereas it is great on the JB Goodness Reborn. Takes forever for a page to load. On top of that, in the middle of the city, the GPS loses data connection, whereas with the Reborn Rom, the connection is rock solid and never fails.. Voice typing / search is also non-functional on the Liquidsmooth, which I do understand is just on a new build, so this does not bother me as much. It would be nice if it would work, but I do understand. I do really like the Liquidsmooth ROM, and its quite a bit better on my battery, but the slowness of the 3G often forces me revert back to the JB Goodness Reborn (especially when I have to use GPS). I have tried to use Hidden Menu apk to check out the 3G settings, but I do not believe it works on this ROM. If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I would be most appreciative. And yes, I would post this to the Official forum, but it is locked and that prevents me from posting any feedback or receiving any possible solutions directly. Thank you for any suggestions in advance.
The Voice works if you update the Google now app. As a slow connection, I would just switch back to your other ROM.

That's good to know about the voice with Google now. I just know when I hit voice on the keyboard, it shuts down. Have you noticed your reception / connection speed decrease precipitously with Liquidsmooth 4.2.2 as well? I have read a few posts about how to increase data speeds and tried a few of their possible suggestions with no luck. It's a pity the thread is locked for Liquidsmooth. I am sure I am not the only person having this issue.
Out of curiosity, I have seem many designations besides the one for Sprint phones.. Like RC9, RC 2.2, a deviant ROM. Would one of these work better on the connection issues? Also, I assume I am using the right ROM, as my phone is Sprint...? But I am running on a verizon network, but that never seemed to be an issue with the other JB Goodness Reborn ROM, which was made for Sprint S3.
DO NOT FLASH ROMS THAT ARE NOT SPRINT. You could reallllly mess up your phone!!! I would recommend trying out aokp. It's really good. Link?

A link would be great. Thanks. I was considering other Roms as well like the Paranoid ROM or super nexus ROM. Both are jb 4.2.2 compared to my previous ROM that was 4.12 and mb1 Goodness reborn. I have never tried an AOKP ROM. I have been mostly looking for performance and sound. are AOKP Roms compatible with ac!d audio or other such apps for sound? What would you characterize as the difference between AOSP and AOKP? Thanks.
Not a whole lot. Both clean Google roms, I will link the aokp rom in the next post.

I made a thread recently about me having worse signal on AOSP roms vs TW roms, now although that isn't your issue specifically, I got a few posts on that thread on how to increase data speeds
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237516
One method involves messing with your build.prop, and the other involves another system file, both are dangerous so make sure you read my thread entirely on words of caution, and then go ahead and see if you feel comfortable tweaking your system files.
While that's handy, I think he just wants a simple solution. Aokp is a lot like smooth. Anyways, dreamer, you can message me anytime if you need more help.

I have actually tried some build.prop tweaks, but they did not work for me either. I read your post.. did you actually find something that worked? The last entry I read stated that all their suggestions still did not help your connection speed issues with AOSP. I am currently experimenting with DeviantXone ROM 1.5. So far it seems to be faster than the Liquidsmooth Official, but I have not taken it on the road yet and it only shows 1-2 bars as well. I may try to AOKP ROM. Do you know if Ac!d Audio is compatible with AOKP? I really do like those audio apps. Thanks.
I could build you aokp with acid if you can't get it stock.

Theres really no "simple" soltuion, especially when it comes to increasing data speeds. The "smooth" feel of the rom, or how fast it runs, is for the most part independent of data speeds.
AOSP will inherently never be as good as TW on this phone, mainly being that the S3 wasnt built to run on AOSP. Thats why you get issues like these on non-Nexus/Google phones because of the simple fact that you can only approach 100% functionality since you are building for an unsupported device

An interesting observation... How, in your opinion will an AOKP ROM compare to a TW ROM? Any suggestions of very fast,well performing TW ROMs? I do want to try AOKP and do have a very good TW MB1 ROM, but I am interested in finding the most functional, best performing ROM with this device.. Of course, based on how i use it, as i understand one person's favorite ROM will not be a favorite for someone else who uses it in a different way. Although, it may seem like heresy to some, i am more interested in speed, functionality, and audio quality, as compared to battery efficiency.

So you're more interested in features than battery life if I understand correctly? And I personally have never run AOKP on any of my devices, just never really grabbed my attention
For the best and "fastest" TW rom, i would recommend grabbing either TPR or MOAR (because theyre the most used custom stock roms, so have already been modified for performance), then stripping down everything you dont need. As in apps, widgets, themes, skins, etc. All of that. Flashing CrossBreeder and using Greenify effectively can also help keep the device from lagging, there are also build.prop edits to increase audio quality, and things like Ac!d, BeatsAudio, XLoud to improve it too
Just look around for interesting mods and flash em' (making sure that they are either for all android devices or for the Sprint S3 specifically, no international S3 mods unless you want a brick), because this way you'll tailor the rom to your liking and your usage, then just make a backup and you can go flash anything else to test run and maybe check out the features in other roms as well
After all this time now the only ROMs out there that are TouchWiz Based are
Tweaked
Jedi Master
Right? Is this really the only set of options we have? I need to have WiFi Calling and both of these ROMs seem to have issues... one with WiFi not even wanting to work half the time (Jedi) and the other making it sound like the conversation is taking place inside of a can (Tweaked)... Any other suggestions aside from Odin to Stock??
Look in Android development. There's more then those 2 or you could make us one. DROID premium has a fairly popular AOSP themed and I have a little project*it is in hold until 4.3 though) By the way I ran tweaked for a long time and never had a problem with sound quality. Dwitherell doesn't add in any sound mods except the optional volume boost so there should be no change from stock. Having said that you could try a different kernel or done sound mods, I recommend Viper audio.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Did you report your issue with Tweaked in the tweaked thread and I missed it? If so my apologies - as kintwofan said there was nothing directly done to the rom to alter call quality. Did you use any of the sound mods? What kernel were you using? Was this on wifi calling? Did this happen right away after installing the rom (before any themes/mods)? Did the "can" effect always happen regardless of location (so no matter what tower your phone may be connected to)?
