Hi everybody,
First and foremost -- forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I'm not a very technically proficient person when it comes to phones, but I'm trying. A friend of mine installed Liquidsmooth 2.9 (4.2.2) on my S4 for me back in September or so (I would be very hard-pressed to root my phone by myself even now). I absolutely love the mod, though there's been one issue that's persistent since its installation -- the lack of sound during phone calls.
Sometimes dialing out there's no sound: no ringing, and no sound when the other person picks up the line. Likewise, there are times when I receive a call, pick up the phone, and there's no sound at all. There's not really a pattern to this problem; it occurs not too often but still too frequently for my tastes. I've done some searches both here and through other sites and other people have mentioned having this problem, but I cannot seem to find a solution.
I know that 2.9 is by now a relatively old version of Liquidsmooth -- I see that 3.0 was released just recently. Perhaps my problem could be solved by flashing to a new version, but I'd prefer to not have that as a first fix. If patching up to either 2.10 or 3.0 is the only solution, does somebody have a link to a noob-friendly guide? I'm really afraid of bricking my phone, so if I do have to flash I'd want to do so with the utmost caution while following very clear directions.

Hi there. I'm intrested in maybe applying a custom firmware desire, but i'd like to know exactly what i'm doing. I managed to debrand my phone to get the 2.2 update awhile ago as o2 were taking ages, have not done anything else. Here is some information on the firmware i'm running.
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c
htc-kerneland18-2 #1
Build: 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
Software: 2.29.405.5
Browser: WebKit 3.1
As i'm a right noob to rooting etc I have a few questions.
1. Is it really worth it, rooting that is?
2. What is the best custom firmware for the desire. (ideally one without htc sense just the standard nexus style layout)
3. If done right what are the chances of bricking my phone
4. Is it hard to do?
Thanks!
The word 'best' is awfully subjective. I, personally, believe for multiple reason, that MIUI is the best rom type available. Some of the interesting features:
- Revamped settings app, with access to many more options
- Privacy mode (very useful, might I add)
- Very very fast (quadrant scores of over 1800 are not uncommon)
- Theme app allows you to apply a theme on the go (much like an integrated metamorph type thing)
- Custom Music, Gallery, Launcher, Lockscreen and Data monitor.
I have been using MIUI as my rom of choice for about two months. I test other roms (like new DeFrost releases sense HD updates, for example), but I keep going back to MIUI.
In particular, the ROM I use (and help develop) is located here:

Well I managed to flash a custom rom then after awhile flash back to stock but something is annoying me. I've done a few formats here and there and after all them one of my calendar events is still there??
I am confused by all the different versions of things, I gather there's a 'CG Version' I need to be aware of for going back to stock but I don't know what bit I get that from.
My phone currently says:
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_--.59.01
Kernel Version: [email protected]#1
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1.5-jordan
Build Number: Gingerbread GRJ90
The reason for return is my internal speaker is sounds crackly/distorted on calls though it seems ok on speakerphone, from what I gather it may not be ROM related but a fault with the speaker.
I'd like to return to UK stock first anyway to check the problem before trying a warranty claim.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Go to the Wiki, use the search button.
And the distorted sound, my testing Defy don't have the problem.
Same happend to me,it wasnt problem with ROM. I flashed phone to stock froyo and it was same so I went to servis and they replaced speaker
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I recently rooted my Incredible using unrevoked 3.22 downgrade to Froyo to achieve s-off method. I flashed CM9 Kang - Release a8 last night, and now if someone tries to call me, it will ring once on their end and goes to voicemail. I recall seeing in some tutorial something about a 3-digit "*xxx" to dial for provisioning 3G on Verizon, but I can't recall the number nor find it now, nor do I know if this affects voice calls. My "About Phone" info is as follows:
Model number: ADR6300
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel version: [email protected]
CyanogenMod version: 9.0.0-RC0a8-inc-UNOFFICIAL
Build number: IMM76D
Could someone please help me find the number and figure out why I cannot receive calls?
Try * 22899 and let it reprogram. Also, you may want to upgrade your radio to a newer version. 7/28 is a Froyo radio.
...sorry...I was on the phone...
TYVM! WOW I love how helpful and FAST people on XDA are!
Do you have a recommendation for a good radio I should use?
I use the 12/19 EVO radio...good signal here. 7/07 works good, too. Different results in different areas. See what works best for you.
...sorry...I was on the phone...
Thanks! I'll give both a try and report back on which works best up here in the Northwest.
Just to double check, I flash a radio from a .zip through CWRecovery just like I would a ROM, right?
No. Put it on the root of your SD card. It should be named PB31IMG.zip
Flash through hboot.
...sorry...I was on the phone...
Glad I double checked! But I do remember that from when I first rooted now.
Thanks again!
Hello everyone I just wanted to ask you guru's for some advice pretty please. I recently got a HTC One X on Vodafone in the UK for me and a SG3 for my wife and I am starting to seriously regret getting the One X because I have been having some issues and my wifes phone has been awesome.
The issues I have been having is the battery life being much worse than my old phone (Desire HD) also the phone getting warm/hot on the back at the top left.
Here are the details of my phone for reference:
HTC One X - White
Tegra 3 Quad Core Version
Vodafone UK Network
Android Version: 4.0.4
Htc Sense Version: 4.1
Software Version: 2.17.401.2
Htc SDK API Level: 4.23
HTC Extension Version: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_20
Kernel Version: 2.6.39.4-g090b42e, [email protected] #1, SMP PREEMPT
Baseband Version: 2.1204.135.20
Build Number: 2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys
Browser Version: Webkit/534.30
Has there been some fixes released at all? or is my phone buggered? I have thought about putting a custom rom onto the phone to hopefully fix it, is this the way to go? If it is what is the best ROM to pick up at the moment with the least amount of issues?
As I have never flashed a new ROM before I have a few questions about it:
•Can you backup your old stock ROM before you flash because I assume flashing a ROM voids the warranty
•If I flash a ROM like RENOVATE will it effect my abilty to take pictures/video and use Wi-Fi or vertain apps? As I have heard Radios and other stuff not working right or something.
•I guess I will have to root my phone before any flashing, is my software version rootable?
Sorry for so many questions I just don't want to seriously fluff up my phone, I think myself as a pretty advanced android user but ROMs and flashing is a bit scare because I dont want to end up with a brick for another 2 years.
Thanks in advance

We have 3 One Xs.
1-My Old (Dropped in water) (WWE)
2-My new (India)
3-My wife's (Korean)
Any of them doesnt have a heating problem
And battery life is better than my old phones (Desire s,sensation,gnex)
Have you updated your firmware yet?
I remember the earliest firmware 1.26 had a TERRIBLE overheating problem. Later releases pretty much fixed it.
It's not buggered mate, they are famous for geting hot when being pushed hard.
Battery life is questionable on stock. If you switch to a custom ROM, you'll generally see an improvement in battery life especially if you switch to a ROM like Cyanogenmod 10 which doesn't use sense.
You will lose Sense benefits like the excellent camera features AND if you flash a custom rom you assume warranty responsibility. Even if you flash a recovery rom, HTC will still know you've unlocked it.
All variants of the One X are rootable and there are excellent tutorials available depending on your needs.
I did it, and haven't looked back since. Cyanogenmod 10 in particular is incredible and feels so fast and fluid in comparison with stock builds.

Fixes released? - HTC has released updates, but in general we don't really know what their updates really fix
Buggered? - No
Custom ROM will fix your problems? - In my experience, yes!
Best ROM to fix your issues - Personally I'd suggest OrDroidX or ARHD ROMs (ICS).
Warranty? - Will void your warranty, but personally I think this doesn't matter that much as long as you're not a klutz
Yes your phone is rootable/flashable/whaever.
You'll probably be wondering whether to go with ICS ROMs (eg. OrDroidX) / JB ROMs (eg. CM10)
ICS:
+ better battery life (very significant - can reach 2 days with 5 hrs+ screen on time depending on kernel)
+ more stable
- performance wise it's enough, but not as fast as JB ROMs
JB:
+ extremely powerful performance
- not as stable
- battery life sucks (lasts me 16 hours - about 2 hrs screen on time)
ICS: I recommend OrdroidX
JB: I recommend SlimBean
Custom Kernels:
1. Bricked - amazing battery life, low performance
2. Faux - less battery life, great performance
3. Ncx - somewhere in the middle
All these are based on my experiences

looks like the latest to me man.
Anyway, much has been fixed as you're running the latest version atm. You can backup your current ROM before installing a custom one and flashing a custom ROM should only enhance features, not affect them negatively.
i do get heat issues when i game, thats about it.
Thank you very much for your advice guys I definitely grow some balls and install and try each of those recommended Roms. You guys awesome and thanks for all your replies
I only got "overheating" issues on stock rom (vodafone / The Netherlands), after two updates the Hox was not gettin really warm anymore.
On Renovate rom i never had any issues! It never gets to warm, and battery life is awesome. Normal use gives me more than two days of use!
So don't worrie and enjoy the Hox!
Hi, I have CWD recovery along with the following ROMs installed. I believe this one is rooted and stock AT&T.
However afte rflashing, it is quite sluggish, the screen is simply not smooth plus the response is slow. I am wondering what is out there I can do to mitigate the issue?
Also the settings has much lesser menus available and many configuratble items are simply not there:
Here is the info:
android v: 4.3
BB ver: I317UCUBMK6
kernel: 3.031-2048209 [email protected] #1
Build No. JSS15J.I317UCUBMK6
I am wondering if there is a later build available that has better performance and features or any other ROMs? What I am looking for us stability and all features are working and rooted ROM.
and I unlocked my phone and switched to T-mobile.
Thanks.,
ok
There are many in this forum rom or try another rom view
