If a rom doesn't include FFC capability - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Theres other camera apps that support it right? or do you just need to chose a rom that does have the capability?

What kind of ROM are you talking about? Because you won't find any Jelly Bean with FFC and market apps don't work either. Do not waste money or time looking for a FFC. It's not gonna happen. If you want a badass ROM that has the look, speed, and performance of a newer ROM with everything working, try this ROM out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141593
Throw the Next 3D launcher on that badboy and you're gonna be in good shape. Promise.
You can find lots of information here about this if you dig a little. There is a search box. Get familiar with that, and you'll learn a lot on your own. Just type random questions or shorten them to a key word or two. I've only been here for a few months, but I've ran through the basics and I'm getting familiar with other aspects besides user options.

It's cool bro. You can ask any questions you want. Don't hesitate. I might not be able to answer them all, but I can help you find an answer. As for finding out which phone model you have, go to settings, then about phone. Look at the model number. If it says PC36100 you have the Evo 4G, otherwise known as the OG. If it's anything else besides PC36100, you'll have to google it to find out what kind of phone you have.

The og (HTC evo 4g, aka supersonic) does have a ffc but it only has drivers for Gingerbread Roms. You have flashed roms from this forum I have tried helping you with some of your mms issues. If you had the lte than your phone would most likely be in sad shape. Flashing things not designed for your phone can cause big issues even brick it ( phone will never work again). As some users have found out the hard way already.
So plainly put you have an Og. Now this should have been the first question you asked before flashing anything.
Also I am working on a couple cricket roms for all the users on here. The first set will be sense based sense 1.0, 3.0, and 3.5. All with confirmed working mms and great battery life. I am also working on cm7, ics, and jelly bean.

Thank you again for your help gentlemen. I figured I had the OG but was starting to wonder when I read incorrect info saying the OG didn't have a ffc. I'm becoming more proficant in flashing roms and terms and what to look for in a Rom. A sense cricket Rom would thrill me as editing apns is not working. The only thing I've had work was a mazwoz everything cricket Rom, however as stated before the roms battery usage was 1% a minute, no Bluetooth capability, (which id rather over a ffc) .
With the newest recovery options, (especially including the usb toggle feature) bricking seems like it'd be impossible .

You know, soul hacker posted the Cricket mms apk that you can manually download and install yourself..... Its all in the same thread as Mazwoz Cricket ROM...... I have used that MMS on my own ROMs for myself when I'm not busy on a test or flash fest. Using the same method soul hacker has posted in that thread, it works just fine for me.

2. First delete the original. Then copy the the new one in.
3. Set perms to rw-r-r

forgive me if I sound stupid, but 4.2 or 4.1 for what? I downloaded the apk in that ROM post of 4.2 copied it over to system apps, the permissions were already set how they should be rebooted and it would force close when I would try and open it .I even used Titanium Backup to try and restore it over it wouldn't restore, and tried using package installer and it would say parsing error or something like that. I'm currently running the digital karma rom v9.

It gave an error upon flashing. Don't recall the exsact error but it didn't even start the installation process ill let you know when I get home a little later. But I made sure to do several wipes on everything before flashing.

Is there a ffc fix for this Rom? other roms I've seen got this working.

No FFC for any jellybean or ICS ROMs. Only gingerbread (2.3.5) ROMs will have FFC.

Also you will want to use an amon Ra style recovery. Cwm and twrp are not very good options for this phone. Diablo has a few themed versions you might like.
Here os the link.

So after 2 weeks of trying to figure out MMS much thanks to wambo bomb and the rest of you in this thread for your patience with this newb I got MMS working on the fast and stable, (with Bluetooth) dirty unicorn ROM.(battery is bad which is why its been draining so quickly with other ROMs) I shoulda known the MMS 4.2 stood for androids version. For some weird reason I was thinking it was the mms's version. I find it interesting older versions of android have the FFC working though but not newer ones. Oh well I'd much much rather have MMS than FFC. If I had money to donate to you and the others I definatly would I'm sorry I don't though. As stated before I'm disabled and can't get on disability yet. If I do get on it I'll be happy to donate to all of you for your help. Many thanks again for educating me so I can help others in the future.

My touch 3g gets froyo sense...possible port?

Http://www.theandroidsite.com/2011/...e-t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide-download-it-here/
So, will this help with the froyo sense camera for hero?
Think there will still be a camera problem but who knows! ill download it and flash see what happens
is there any dev that took a look at this rom? are the camera drivers compatible?
I have PM'd Hawst (creator of the Tegro rom) to see if it is of any use to him.

Im trying to port it but getting symlinking errors got to go work now so will continue afterwards
Hi Bonesy! Glad to see you are on the case
I had a PM back from Hawst. He thinks we will still have HW problems as seen on the other 2.2 sense ports.
still we can live in hope?! I thought the MT3G was fairly similar to the Hero in terms of HW specs?
I have to agrre with hawst, i think the only rom it can be based on is chocolate froyo which still has no working camera.But still be nice to see it work.
MT3G aka Sapphire / Magic is pretty much the same NOT the Slide / Espresso.You can flash Sapphire (32A) roms on your hero and they more than likely boot but have limited hardware working
You sure? I can flash any magic 32a rom on my hero without any porting?

Yes you can with maybe some weird hardware bugs.. Soo my advice, DONT
Yea i wouldnt advise it, i flashed capyseo v7 the other day and it booted but no sound/camera/wifi or network..Im no dev so dont get your hopes up on me porting!
oh well, just trying to keep the hero alive until the Optimus 3D comes out

From what I understand:
a) Hero and Magic have a different camera....
b) The Camera doesn't even work on the magic w/ the capyseo v7 - I assume this one they can fix now that the MyTouch3G got an official sense ROM.
Yea i only flashed it to see if it would boot lol
Right managed to get it to finally flash without errors (WOOP WOOP) but i have no display and had to play with MTD partitions (dodgy) im waiting for firerat to come online so i can ask some Q's about patching mtd before i try anything more risky as i had increased the /system partition to 200 leaving 2mb on cache :/ and 1% space left on /system so untill i can get more i think there is nothing else i can do
On the plus side i managed to release a rom for the espresso lol
Lol, see you are a dev ...just not for hero...yet
I've completed my Alpha,runs smooth! Calls work,sound works,text/sms works,sdcard works need to test wifi and camera!

Great to hear, i'm still switching between sense 2.1 and stock 2.2, 2.3.
I find the sense interface great, but with 2.1 i missing some options that you have in froyo and gingerbread.
I feel the same but cant put my finger on what i like about sense 2.2?? Maybe that it says 2.2!

[Q]Do these custom ROMs affect the global capabilities of the phone?

I'm traveling to Italy tomorrow and just want to make sure that by having rooted and flashed an ASOP ROM on it has not affected its ability to connect to the cell network out there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
It will depending on the rom you use. I have been using Newt's rom's primarily and i know he has gotten both GSM and CDMA to work on some of his newer versions, you will have to check the changelog to see which ones work though,
Newts newest 3D 2.03 has the world phone capibilities..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231283
But i cant speak for ASOP, you might want to check the log to see if it is listed as working or not.
I haven't tested Global Mode myself but people are reporting SkyRaider Zeus supports it.
I can give a big thumbs-up to the ROM as a whole. I have been running it for a few weeks and haven't hit a snag yet.

Oh Oh, I appreciate the feedback but is not at all what I was hoping for lol...I just posted this question on the ROMs thread but its too late to do anything about it if it does not have it enabled, $#|T!!!! For argument sake I posted it was I traveling but when in reality its a co-worker(a manager) who is traveling to Europe and is he's gonna be pissed if he steps off that plane and has no service...I'll just try and blame it on the network out there i guess if worse comes to worse lol...thanks again!
Best to go with SkyRaider Zeus. Based off the stock shipped ROM, not a port.
Which Aosp rom do you have on your friends phone?
I've read in various places that CM 7 will work globally. Not sure about any of the others though.

i live abroad and the stock firmware works fine with local GSM carriers
you can just flash rmk Rooted rom which is the original firmware after removing bloatware, works exactly like stock ( no bugs at all )
and if needed he added a flashable zip including all removed app.
if you like sense 3 , in the Forum there a sense 3 Patch . i tested that rom myself with the Patch and its fine
there is many sense 3 Roms that Support Global Mode also. but in my opinion that rmk Rom is the safest ( no bugs at all )
## phone codes
+1 for rmk's stock ROM.
Make sure that the ROM you use will allow access to the ## phone codes.
Or at least put a stock based cleaned ROM on the phone and set it up and do a nandroid of it so if he needs to access those codes, he will have a workaround.
I found that the AOSP ROMs don't allow access to those codes.
So if you need to manually change any data settings you have to use a sense based ROM to make those changes, then flash back to the ROM you want.
The data settings should stay between flashes but I found that even with full wipe and flashing the ROM, then the nandroid, I still got a boatload of FCs.
Good luck ....
Yep, just depends on which ROM you download. Some do, some don't.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

there is a script or APK called Rom Cleaner in xda , check it

[NEW] Basic tFC06 ICS 4.0.3 rom for easy flash.

First of all I would like to than all the amazing devs in this community because without them we wouldn't have all this fun.
I'm not taking credit for anything but putting this together.
The idea was to make transition from GB (or any other ICS build) to FC06 as easy as possible.
This rom is based on Calkulin's stock rooted deodexed FC06 and he deserves all credit for it.
The status bar icons and some other colors and looks are from Tiffan84 and she should be credited for that.
Kernel comes from Team Rogue and credit and our thanks goes to them.
Calculin's format all script is incorporated in updater script as well.
It's very hard to keep up with all this leaks and updates but I decided to give it a shot with FC06.
I tried to combine everything in one place and added some build.prop tweaks for battery life, smoothness and speed.
Running this rom for about a day and so far so good.
I'm not posting any screenies since it's pretty much stock look.
Build prop has been tweaked for
*deeper sleep for battery save.
*net.tcp's for faster 3G
*proximity sensors for less black screen after call
*telephony for faster call
*tweaks for overall responsiveness
and some more.
So instead of flashing FC06 in 3-4 steps this will flash it in one.
I have tested it and flashed over EL27, FE21, and FC05.
Just place rom into root of your sd card and flash in recovery.
Script will:
1. Format all (data, cache, boot, system).
2. Flash Rom.
3. Flash Kernel.
Just reboot and enjoy.
Here is the link for brave ones (since you don't know me and my previous work):
http://dev-host.org/SQz
You would need to flash modem separately. I have tried to incorporate that into script as well but it didn't work. If some one can give me a hand with that that would be great but for now you can download modem zip file from here:
http://www.buildarom.com/E4GT/Modems/E4GT_Modem_FC05.zip thanks to Calkulin as well.
Flash modem after you flash rom and you should be good.
All known bugs are still present and I didn't discover any new ones.
Any feed back and/or bug report is greatly appreciated.
Edit: If you would like to go back to your previos build/settings you can restore Nand back up.
It works for any back up made using CWM recovery. Has been tested by me. For more info read post #28 on page 3 of this thread.

Hope this will be handy for those who is confused with all the steps they gotta take to flash ICS over GB.
I made something similar for transition from 2.1 to 2.2 on samsung moment and it was very popular and had a lot of downloads.

It just updates on first start and it's working fine after that.
Just want to say your concept is definitely needed up in the forum and I am surprised I have not seen more posts up in your thread but I think do to the current amount of individuals unfortunately bricking their phones many may be worried.
May I suggest to those of you who do use this and have successfully used this method, to kindly list what GB/ICS rom/recovery you were coming from when using this.
It will help ease the fear of others in here...

[Q] N7100 MI6 4.3 Touchwiz Port to N7105(and others) impossible? Insane?

Ok, so I downloaded Dr. Katan's MI6 ROM for the 7100 and with a touch of insanity installed it to my AT&T phone. IT BOOTED RIGHT UP!
All while using the stock 4.3 Kernel that came with it!
Whole ROM runs perfectly, I have WiFi and GPS and everything's great EXCEPT, no cell signal :crying: When I try to look at the APNs it says No Sim Card.
I flashed the AT&T modem again. That changed nothing.
So, I figured I'd follow a port guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40575946
It didn't work. Installs fine, but the phone just won't boot with it. Just sits there and vibrates occasionally with a black screen.
I figured since it's a 4.3 ROM, I should use a 4.3 base, so I used Beanstalk for AT&T (my daily driver, NOT a Touchwiz Rom).
Should I try it with the stock 4.1 Touchwiz ROM as the base? It seems counter-intuitive, but I could be wrong, as this is my first stab at this.
Since just the modem is the issue, is there one part of the porting that I should be paying extra attention to?
Unfortunately while typing this, I just discovered that the S-Pen isn't working either... It detects it's being removed/inserted, but it doesn't work on the screen.
I'm not seeing anything else on this topic other than "WHEN", "WHY NOT ME", and "THIS IS N7100 ONLY, IT'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE DON'T TOUCH IT GET AWAY FROM IT GO BACK TO AT&T"
Obviously it doesn't brick your phone and I don't want to until December if I can help it.
I'm no dev. I'm what could be considered a Script Kiddy at best, but I'll do all I can to make this work.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Strange that there's no actual developers on this... My attempts thus far have failed.

15. Reboot to Ubuntu.
Open dsixda's Android Kitchen
Decompile both boot.img/kernel
Open both init.rc files
In CM/AOSP kernel replace BOOTCLASSPATH by the one from PORT boot.img ROM
Save and recompile kernel
Use CM/AOSP modified kernel in your rom.

How did you do this? I'm completely lost!!!! I copied the contents of "Android-Kitchen-0.224" over to "c:\cygwin64\home\ME" and am in ubuntu, run "menu" from inside there and then am confused and lost.

You can stop trying to port and start flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496292, it's officially leaked... That is if you have a AT&T Note 2, which I take it that you do after reading your post.

Not yet downloading now though, or attempting to... Then to figure out which way to flash it. Crazy I spent all day yesterday trying to port and flash different combo's of AOKP/CM 4.3 and N7100 4.3 messing with boot.img's and .co files and all that stuff, now this happens today, AWESOME! LoL

Losing all the Baseband and Modem settings after flashing an AOSP ROM.

Good evening everyone. I recently got this phone from the Black Friday deal at Best Buy for 80$ and rooted and did all of that without much problem. I installed the Wicked ROM without any issues, and tested it out but I prefer AOSP. But when I flash Cyanogen or Bliss, I lose all of the mobile data , the baseband, here I include a screenshot. I have flashed a stock ROM once again, activated it again without any problem, but when I try to flash an AOSP ROM again I lose everything. Is there anything I can do about that? I have searched the forums and Google and found no solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you check to make sure that the md5 matched? Anytime I've had that happen either the md5 didn't match, or I needed to use a different kernel. My Goto kernel for AOSP ROMs has been BMS.

Thanks for the tip, tried flashing Cyanogenmod with that kernel and the same thing happens, I lose all of the settings related to the Baseband, Modem and IMEI. I checked the md5 and it matches completely. I have no idea what is happening. For now I settled into the Conquest Singulalirty ROM which provides an ASJOP look but on offical firmware. But still I would like to know how to solve this problem so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone the L710T model by any chance? I had the same problem with every rom I tried EXCEPT for Gummy 3.0. For some reason Gummy 3.0 recognizes my baseband/modem but if I try Gummy 4.0 or any other AOSP rom, no baseband.

Flash the file here: http://androidforums.com/threads/mo...apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/#post6516416
It will modify necessary files in the system to allow you to connect. Also, dial ##72786# to reactivate after flashing. That all worked for me on my Virgin S3 running Carbon. Good luck!
The SPH-L710T is what was on sale at BestBuy for $80 (as I found out after running into a similar problem), and it's a pain in the ass. It seems that TW ROMs are the only ones that don't break the radio... and the M10 snapshot of CM11 apparently (except rotation is backwards). I'm looking for a fix as well.
It seems that all of this can be fixed by a custom kernel, but there's no AOSP/CM kernel (that I know of) that fixes both.
I wish I knew something about kernel development...

That is exactly the one that I have, the 80$ Best Buy from Black Friday. Yeah, I tried what metalhead131 said and it did not work. Hmmm, M10 snapshot worked for you? I will try it out them to see how it goes. In what way did it break the rotation? It does not rotate or is it inaccurate? It is a pain in the ass that we have so many ROMS available but we can't use them. I have been using the Conquest Singularity by Moon Knight. The one that is here in XDA is kinda of outdated but if you Google it you will find his blog with the latest update. He created an AOSP looking ROM but it is TW underneath. That combined with Gravity Box has satisfied me for now, but I hate no being able to flash AOSP ROMS. I know nothing about kernel development, but if someone wants to help with this I can provide anything they need in order to fix this problem with this T version of the phone.
I will try to take the kernel of the M10 and flash it with another ROM to see if the rotation works. I will update as soon as I do that.

Yeah, the radio worked with the M10 snapshot. I was able to get the latest version of ParanoidAndroid to work with the M10 snapshot kernel as well.
When I say rotation is broken I mean when you hold it sideways, it rotates the wrong way, so it's upside down.

Excellent. Thanks for the good news! That doesn't bother me that much, so I will do that with the Bliss ROM that I wanted to install. I will keep investigating and trying things to see if we can fix the rotation issue. I will keep the thread updated.
Semi-Fix for the rotation issue on the M10 kernel.
After checking some apps out, I found one that worked well for the rotation problem using AOSP ROMS on the troublesome SPH-L710T. The app is called Adaptive Rotation Lock and is available for free on the Play Store. What it does is that a little button pops up everytime you rotate your phone, and if you don't click that button the screen will not rotate. So once you put your phone horizontallly, click on the button that pops up to allow the phone to rotate upside-down, then rotate the phone so it is not upside-down anymore, but do not click the button, so it stays in the correct rotation. It is a little cumbersome, but it beats always being upside down while using the phone horizontally! I think this is a good option while we find out how to fix this issue in the kernel.

Greeting kdude63. Thanks to your tips I was able to test many roms and as you settled on Paranoid Android. The only problem I have right now is that intermittently point I lose cell coverage for like 2 minutes, but then I get it back. Does that happen on your phone?
I have also tried many kernels to see if I find another one that works but no go. I am still using the M10 boot.img. Have you found another one that works?
And thanks for helping out with the ODIN tar for this phone! It makes me feel a lot more safe when I am experimenting.

I don't currently use PA or CM as my daily driver, so I don't know. (I don't like dealing with the rotation issues)
I was testing some other kernels earlier, none of them worked before I got careless and accidentally flashed an i9300 kernel, so I can't use my phone for the time being.
Cnexus and several others have posted debrick images and stock ROMS for various versions of the s3. Good luck debricking

Yep, I flashed it normally. Using Philz I got the Wicked 8 zip file and a couple of the addons that are available without any problems but since I don't like the Touchwiz UI too much I am currently running Conquest. Maybe try the full Wicked 8 zip? I did not try the barebones, but I can confirm that Wicked 8 works on the T model. It has the rotation issue but a couple of post ago I described how to get around that. Let me know if it works!

i was finally able to flash bare-bones i had to flash the updated kernel i used for Conquest beta 10
I'm glad! At least we can use Touchwiz based ROMs while we can find a way to create a kernel that is completely compatible with the T model. Is your rotation working correctly?

Yes rotation is working and with the next few updates on CM side they will be fully working on the T model cause CM already updated a fix for the T model
I got spooked when the baseband disappeared and rotation was not working. Went back to stock. Of course you also seem to need the special 2.7 twrp in order to mount system. But the price was right.
