[Q] any 4.1.2 ROM with Bluetooth working?

Hi Guys, I been trying the 4.2.1 Roms AOKP/CM and while i understand they are WIP, and very smooth but still have some issues that for someone like me who depends alot on their phone is not really working, Bluetooth issue / low call volume / lack of AVRCP / lack of SMS profile etc.
anyone here is running a stable 4.1.2 AOSP ROM ? (with everything working?)
Thank you,

Get flashing and find out for yourself they are all stable. I think your getting "stable" and "a few bugs" mixed up

Looking for a (complete functional) AOKP ROM for my SG2 Hercules (sgh-t989)

Ok, long story short, I was using (JB-1-Milestone-2012-10-29)(4.2.1) AOKP rom for quite some time on my Hercules.. Everything seemed "Okay" but only no NFC and t-mobile wifi calling, and I can live without that.. So I was using the ROM until I updated to (JB-MR1) edition (4.2.2) and not only is the NFC and wifi calling not working (like I said I don't care) but the damn noise reduction on the call receiver end is horrible (playing with the setting options)
OK, overall I love (JB-MR1 4.2.2) edition.. The layout is at it's best, but at the end of the day, IT IS STILL A CELL PHONE. With that being said, if I can not have a simple cell phone call conversation, the ROM is pointless.
Is there any custom ROM for the Hercules that gives the complete functions, including a working noise reduction?
Thx in advance

Also simply look through the ROMs in the development sections for AOKP, there are not many. But there are a lot of Hybrids.

For the best call quality you'd have to flash a stock ROM or a custom tom based on stock. The latest stock release is jellybean 4.1.2. Aosp roms such as cm pa or aokp are usually hit or miss with some devices although there were reports saying that the curex kernel helped solve that. But with the stock jellybean everyone says they hear me loud and clear unlike when I was using aokp.

Do stock based ROMs use apt-x for a2dp bluetooth

Hi-
After much reading, my feel is that AOSP ROMs do not use apt-x for a2dp but that stock/stock based ROMs *should* due to the proprietary codec being supported for the galaxy s3.
I'm on stock now. I've read other threads and tried this logcat command:
logcat -v long > log.txt
To see if anywhere in logcat there is "proof" that apt-x is used. There isn't. Also, two observations in /system/etc/bluetooth. 1) A low power bluetooth option is available which I think shows that bluetooth 4.0 must be supported. But then, by default, SBC codec is used, rather than MPEG12, and MPEG24 for lossless is not there.
So does anyone have a definitive way to see if apt-x is being used? I've tried Wicked 10 ROM and am currently on AOSPWIZ stock based ROM with kinetic pulse kernel.
Thanks

xquizit 43 has it
:good:
Someone online posted that Xquizit ROM 35 had aptx in the logcat so I gave the latest version 43 a try. I've tried Wicked and other stock ROMs but nothing. This xquizit ROM though verifies aptx!!!
adb logcat -v long > log.txt
in the log I see this:
[ 06-14 16:09:53.459 2847: 2847 I/bluetoothd ]
A2DP_CODEC_SBC =0
[ 06-14 16:09:53.459 2847: 2847 I/bluetoothd ]
A2DP_CODEC_BTAPTX =255

Xquizit is a very old rom based on LJA I think it was. If it has it the all the stock based roms should as well. BT is a rarely messed with thing so there are very few, if any, here that the devs did anything to change it.
Because it was on a much older version, I believe its still there only it doesn't report the same as the newer versions.
Just fyi.

Confirmed also that Wicked 10 has it
Thanks. Confirmed Wicked 10 has it. I remember now: I gave up trying to verify on Wicked since by default, logcat was disabled. Had to enable it through root browser. A few ROMs I tried though that were stock based like Infamous didn't seem to have it. Rather than mention aptX they were mentioning SBC. Also confirmed that AOSPWiz didn't have it, and that ROMs appears to be stock based but with a touch of AOSP feel

4.1.2 stock ROMs don't have it?
I may have narrowed this down. I just flashed this basic 4.1.2 stock based ROM, credit to Jovy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276645
It doesn't report aptx in its logcat. But then again, it doesn't report using SBC either.
Could it be that aptx is only supported for 4.1.1 ROMs based on stock but not 4.1.2?

Just Google "galaxy s3 bluetooth apt x".
Almost every page that's returned confirms the s3 does have it.

That's not what I'm asking. Natively yes, GS3 supports APT-X but not every ROM makes use of it. I've read that most likely we won't see it in AOSP ROMs because APT-X is a proprietary codec while AOSP is open source.
What I'm asking is: is it safe to assume that every non-AOSP ROM for GS3 uses aptx? Given that some include ACID Audio sound mods etc, how can I know for sure that if a stock ROM I'm trying on 4.1.2 that doesn't report aptx in its logcat is or is not using APT-X? I'm convinced that 4.1.1 stock based ROMs (and stock of course) use it because I found this in the logcat. There are some issues with 4.1.1 so just wondering if someone had confirmation for some 4.1.2 stock based ROM that is using aptx.
Thanks for the comments though, appreciate it

With audio mods it's hard to say, but otherwise any stock based Rom should have it. I would expect even with audio mods for it to be there.

[Q] Any new 4.2.2 touchwiz roms out there?

all I've been able to find are aosp, aokp CM based roms...
while I understand the customizability of CM is superb and the vanilla Google platform is great... I've grown accustomed to many touchwiz based features since having both vibrant and now gs3 and want all my gs3/touchwiz motion and swiping goodies to work correctly n would like a good gs4 ported Rom based off of 4.2.2 if one exists.

There aren't any 4.2.2 Touchwiz roms that I know of for our device.

Nope.
You can buy an S4.

thanks captain obvious. lol
I wonder what the limitation is with bringing an s4 Rom over to the s3?
in any case.... what then are some of your favorite 4.2.2 CM builds out there folks?
also, are there any aokp/aosp rooms with similar dialers and contacts features available on touchwiz like Swype -> to call <- to text contacts etc? any cm bulls keep gs3 specific motion features like calling contacts displayed on screen just by putting phone to the ear etc?

If you want touchwiz features then flash a touchwiz rom. The op of every aosp rom will tell you that.
On another note, my favorite aosp rom is liquid smooth, the latest version gives me amazing battery (over 4 hours screen on time). My favorite TW rom is S3Rx. Has tons of customization and also great battery life.
Edit: the aosp MMS apk has the ear to dial feature you want though. You have to turn that on in the settings.

As far as I know, only one country has got 4.2.2 on the international s3. Itll be a while before we see much for 4.2.2 tw. There's no s4 ports for the same reasons there's no international s3 ports I'm sure. The hardware difference makes porting difficult, and most who can do it will probably be working on things that are more unique. There's probably little that distinguishes 4.1.2 tw from 4.2.2 tw. That's my best guess anyway.
Closest you'll likely find for now is Universe S4.

thanks fellas, I really appreciate the responses... I think I'll give each of those a test drive across the next few weeks and see if any suit my likes and needs..

oh... I've last question is about flashing cm based roms... the "wipe" is no different from the other roms right? it will leave my sd partition with pictures and personal downloads alone right?
Or will it try to reformat and repartition everything meaning I need to completely back up all onboard memory to the computer?

Its the same but you should always back up your important files, better safe than sorry

Switching between TW (4.1.2) and cm/aosp (4.2.2) will mess with the layout of your internal storage. Look up android 4.2 0 folder.

OP im in the same boat as you.
i like the cheesey TW features. i like the swipe to capture screen, telling my camera to take a picture, and esp. the sbeam touching the back of the phones.
i know NFC works with others but you cant send big files. TW and sbeam transfers huge files no problems.
Thats the only reason why i havnt changed

[Q] is it possible to use GUI's across ROM's? and if so, how?

so i installed Cyanogenmod(hood pope) 10.2 based on android 4.3 to my e4gt, but no matter how many different modems i tried, it wouldn't get 3g, so i installed wild for the night unofficial 10.2, based on 4.2.2, and it got 3g but it wouldn't work the gps, it would take a while to lock on and easily lose my location, so i thought when cm official page got some official nightly downloads for the e4gt not long ago it would be better but no difference for my sph-d710, so i gave up and installed rooted ics and left a nandroid of my CM behind just in case i'd go back to it, so now ics works fine but looks horrific, so is there a way to use my CM gui from my nandroid on ics but leaving the system itself(the engine as one might say) as it is so that the features will still work? i really love the CM GUI and features, but since i've got no official support i want to get the looks at least, is this possible?, if so, how do i do it?
sorry for the trouble and thank you for your time.

What modems were you trying? Only ICS modems will work with CyanogenMod, AOSP/AOKP, MIUI, etc. Seems like you were using JB modems.
