used many roms but same issue - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

hi so i rooted my hercules s2 4 weeks ago and installed a custom roms like carbon,parnoid, cynogen mod 11 but all of them im having 1 major issue after a couple of days when ever someone calls me or if i call someone i cant hear them and they cant hear me i dont know why this is happening. i have the latest kernel and the latest cwm so no issues i dont use ram intensive apps only calls text and a bit browsing.
Question: I installed SlimKat Hopefully it doesnt give the call issue but if it does do you know why and if you dont my other question is if i wanna go back to stock rom do i have to downgrade the kernel?
Please and Thank You

The kernel needs to suit the Android version and rom type. So yes.
To go to stock tho, you just flush or with Odin. Done. ?

well, right now i have franko kernel installed , no params adjusted... not even sure where i would find the section in settings.. on a stock Verizion JB 4.2... im not even sure what would be the best rom to try
some one suggested MetalC.. but i cant find the Gapps that work with that one... so what i need is a solid ROM, Kernel and Gapps..
i was able to root via the Nexus Root Tool kit... that went well... but now i need to decide what Toro version rom i need to use.. and im keeping an eye out to see if the Franko kernel brings any joy for those random reboots and shutdowns... the guy i bought the Gnex from said he will do a full refund but i want to sort this out if possible... this little machine is too cool just to cash out on...
time to research on roms and stuff i guess..

For 4.4 go for cMetal / Playfulgod / dhacker's CM builds, for a 4.3 experience i dunno any one for toro and for kernel i think you can try out MpoKang as it can be flashed on 4.3 and up just have a look in the official thread and you'll be able to find zips plus use trickster app for the kernel control :good: !!
well, a bit of a followup friday swapped out the stock kernel for Franko kernel... and i have had it on for about most of the day yesterday and zero random shutdowns and no SOD.. this little thing is great and its a lot more easy to have this around then a remote for 2 google tv a roku and an xbmc box... i have not delved into new roms, the JB stock seems to be working fine im getting at least 10 hrs out of the battery... this is be best micro tablet i could ever find for 70 bucks... and the screeen is quite nice.. im sure i will be moding soon enough... but for now just a kernel change seems to have put an end to the sleep of death and random shutoffs..

What to do with the phone to make it usable?

My friend has an xperia m single sim model running latest official firmware and its is very slow. Hangs quite often and takes 2 to 3 swipes to unlock the screen. So i thought ill flash the phone with a custom rom.
Im good with flashing phones and have done it a lot. I always do my research before flashing to get the best rom for the phone. But with this phone i am stuck. I dont think i have found a stable rom yet. I know i should not ask which is the best rom but still can someone suggest a rom which can be flashed to this phone.
The problem is that after i will be meeting my friend for a day and i cannot flash it for a long time. So i dont want to put a rom and then after few days he finds serious bugs.
So some suggestion please. I usually go for omnirom or cm11.Some advice regarding rom,kernel,recovery would help me a lot
Thanks

Try Latest build of CM11 FXP, that is most Stable Rom according to me.
I'd say it's latest build from FXP (it's 326 so far). No serious bug or annoying UI. go for it. :good:
i will go with cm11 then.Thank you guys one more doubt. Does cyandelta work with fxp builds?

[Q] Paranoid Android 4.5 beta 3 unfixable lingering calling bug

Hello everyone,
I'm posting on here because I can't find any solution to my dilemma which I am sure that other people in the AOSPA legacy community have also experienced. I have been using Paranoid Android on my T989 since the 4.4.3 update and I have regularly updated my roms since then. Somehow ever since I updated my phone to 4.5 beta 3, something prevents me from being able to hear or be heard during regular phone calls around an hour after I restart my phone.
I have tried everything to try to make my phone back to normal, I have updated my versions of AOSPA, I have downgraded to stable versions, I have gone to a debloated stock rom (which worked perfectly fine but who likes touchwiz android 4.1.2?) and back to AOSPA, I tried the latest Carbon nightly rom and the problem persisted, I have wiped my internal memory, cache, davlik, etc. multiple times. I am at a total loss as to what I should do to fix this issue. I'm currently running it on 4.6 beta 1 and I still have the issue.
I really love my GS2 and I don't want to part with it or have it running stock. Please help me.
I really appreciate it,
Chris
I've had the same issue , I was running the latest liquid smooth rom . I just flashed back to stock using Odin and all is fine on the stock rom . I just rooted again and am hesitant to install another kitkat rom for fear of this calling issue ........ Anyone else with this problem ?

I am also getting this problem on Slim 7.8....must be an audio-caf issue....Can someone go back to an old KK rom (one from earlier months) and see if they experience the same issue? Preferably cyanogenmod
I flashed to stock rom via oden and spent the weekend with the phone and all was good , I flashed to the latest cm-11 with no addons , stock cm-11 kernal and after an hour or so I lost call audio again . We must have done something to the phone in a previous rom cause not many people are having this issue . Now I have flashed about 75 different roms with no issue , I hope someone finds the problem cause I'm not to keen on the stock rom !
I've seen posted that snapchat was the cause of the no call audio problem we are having , I flashed the latest liquid smooth rom last night , download all my apps that I usually do except snapchat and I've had no issues with the calling bug . All is working great .

[Q] problems calling on any rom D855

Hi there
since lollipop i change my official 4.4.4 stock rom to 5.0 leaked stock rom from skin 1980 and then i changed it to his chupachups rom, everything was going very good in both roms very fluid, and without having calls issues, then i try the cyanogenmod 12 rom from manusps4e, thats when im starting to have this issue:
everytime i try to make a call the screen goes black and i cant re-activate it, i can make the call but i have to reboot the G3 so i can use the phone again. its the same thing when i receive a call.
so then after many nightlies from this rom i try the cloudy and go back to stock but al got the same problem in every rom.
what you guys think it is?
do you think its firmware problem? rom problem? or hardware problem?
NOTE: sorry if i couldnt explain myself perfectly but im latin american so my English its not very good. and this is my first post

[Q] Advice on ROMs ?

Ok,
I have a question that I am embarrassed to ask, because I feel like I should have been able to just do the research myself... (I am a newb... but not a complete newb!) ....
But after spending most of the day ( over 5 hours...) I am just frustrated and confused.... so I figured I would admit my ignorance, and ask for advice. (PLEASE.. if this is the wrong place to post this, please tell me where to do so.. I do not want to spam a bunch of different thread so I am only posting here, unless told to go elsewhere....)
I have an unlocked and rooted tmoble Note 3 (love it!!!).
Currently Using wicked rom
Details:
Android version 4.3
Baseband ver N900TUVUBMI7
Kernel ver 3.4.0-670611
[email protected] #1
Fri Sept 13 23:45:38 KST 2013
Build number wicked_N3v5
SEWLinux status Enforcing.
SO.. when i got my note 3 a while ago, I unlocked/rooted/ROM'd it.. with wicked rom... which I love!!!
... but recently I have been having issues with my phone... and I have noticed that "wicked" does not have any updates or even any posts in its thread in the last 2 years.
My issues have been occasional random reboots, the GPS getting flaky, as well as random notifications about various apps no longer working .
I attribute some of these issues to when my battery ran low... and died during a reboot... (seems to have started after that).
So my question: I would like to do a clean re-install... and need to figure out what ROM is best for me. I keep seeing roms that LOOK awesome.. but then as I read there threads, see things like "hotspot does not work" etc....
What I NEED:
1)Working hot spot !(prefer it does not report usage)
2) Prefer touchwiz (Still learning the stylus... but that what makes the note a note!!)
3) WORKING GPS
4) STABLE
Would LIKE:
1) No bloatware!
2) Not report hotspot usage to carrier
3) Simple instruction to install (and be told about updates!)
4) Ability to record calls would be nice (saw that on one ROM.. looks cool)
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start?
I am now using android 4.3 ... should I upgrade that before or after installing a new ROM?
I would just re-install wicked .. but I worry that it is not staying compatible with the updates??
Any help is appreciated....

I am on the same baseband and have also been on Wicked, as well as DarthStalker and Hyperdrive. All are good and all seem to have similar issues. I'm also looking to flash something new and am noticing the same things you are. Unfortunately I think the roms I mentioned seem to be the most stable and complete unless you are willing to give up TW and the pen features. If you don't mind that then CM Is an option or also AOKP. I was on the AOKP for a while and liked it but I am a TW fan so I went back. I think Hyperdrive is probably the best of them. I have only had rebooting issues when using data. (I also had the same issue on DarthStalker and Wicked) so for now to get the features you want I would suggest Hyperdrive until they get all the bugs out of Lollypop. Plus you will also have to update your baseband before moving on to L. I am about to update mine and try out the DomPop rom. I'll retort back and let you know what I think.
