Hi, new here, not new to flashing ROMs though. I've always been able to figure out my problems out on my own or through intensive searching. Today is not the case, hence joining the forum. One of the main reason's I activated this phone recently was to voice chat with Google Hangouts and I was already paying the extra $10 a month for sprint's data usage on my previous "dumb" phone. Everything worked fine on the stock rom, I just wanted more out of the phone.
I have a Sprint HTC Evo 4g. It has hboot 2.18 so I unlocked it through htcdev. Rooted it with s-on and installed Cyanogenmod. I want to retain all the phone's capabilities so I went with the stable 7.2 after learning the drivers for 4g and the FFC aren't supported after gingerbread. All the cameras work as they should in the stock loaded camera app. I update Google talk to hangouts and when I try to use video chat, I get "Camera error." I attempted to use Tango, and the front facing camera doesn't start up either. Audio works fine for both apps. My next steps included trying CM 7.2 nightly and CM7.1; I got the same error. Through further research I found a gapps package with Google Talk with video. Updated this to hangouts, got the same error. Uninstalled the updates and tried the video chat; it worked to my surprise however, I cannot video chat with anyone who has updated to hangouts only with the original Talk app.
I've searched and searched and found references to the problem with no solution. One source even mentioned the newer apps are not compatible with some older roms, but this didn't make sense to me since everything worked on the stock 2.3.5 rom. I found one instance of a solution but the source for the fix is no longer in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22735475&postcount=989
Any advice? Any way to log when the front camera fails? I really want to stick with a stable rom, preferably CM.
Just tried the Thundershock rom and I get the same error... I'm wondering if I should just chalk it up to the apps not supporting older roms. OR, I'm flat out missing something....

Bump.
Still no luck with CM7. I tried Digital Karma V9 and the camera works in Hangouts, but Hangouts fails to load (force close error) after I do anything else on the phone after a fresh reboot.... CaptainThrowback's rooted stock rom works perfectly, but the rom is lacking in customization. I'm guessing I could mod it to my taste but I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this whole ordeal. Only in a perfect world, I can have everything, huh?
For now, I have opted to go with CM 7.2 until I can play different ROMs some more. I may not have any time this weekend like the past weekend so I just need a basic functioning phone for the time being...

Running Classic rom with some success as long as I don't reboot the phone. Otherwise I get the same error as in DigitalKarma. Simple fix is to uninstall and reinstall the Hangouts update. Not a Sense fan though...
Still un-answered...
Well, I've went with Skype (modified by theoso) on CM7.2 since it seem to be the only ROM to really cater to me. ADW launcher, absolutely stripped down, etc. Skype works as a compromise to ROM choice and Hangouts. I'd say I'm happy to have something rather than nothing. Especially for a phone whose forum support is a thing of the past.
Does anyone is having an extreme lag with the ZL ?? I'm suffering from it and I don't know if it's the 4.4.4 update or what.( I dont remember when it started). I tried with stock rom and right now with MoonWalker Rom, but I have the same issue on both. What do I have to do? Do I have to go back to 4.3 or there is a fix?
Thank you so much!
Welll... thank you all for your feedback
can you sucscribe lag thatyou have? i have a lag that my keyboard not always show in time when i touch an input area, i have to wait couple seconds. and i thin this is arom related.
Hello, I have the same issue after kitkat update. I did everything to fix this problem and nothing.
I notice that after full recovery (format) Is fine but when the stock apps update via google play (like google play services) the issue appear.
I just have one thing to say, this is my first and last time with Sony. Buggy Firmware, lot of hardware bugs, the screen is not resistant, the vibration system is like a china phone and so on.
My issues:
Texting lag (keyboard lag)
screen transitions lag
Opening and closening the status bar lag
Scroll lag
everything had lag after kitkat update
I did every kind of recovery.
It's very laggy just when i delete something
possible correction

It lags when I tap on an input text, it lags when I type... like: I type a sentence and nothing happens....after 4 seconds, characters appears in a fast sequence...and this happens 90% of the time.
What I have tried:
Reboot
Clean caches
Re-install ROM
Install 3 different stock roms (my cell is BL)
The final and WORKING thing that I did is........: Go back to fu**in 4.3, it runs smoothly like 4.4.4 should be.
I recommend not to buy a sony device, their development team sucks and they release devices every 5months which becomes the current generations obsolete in a couple of months.

Thanks for the advice!
Actually this is my girlfriend's phone, my is a clean and perfect nexus 5.
But there is some news... Maybe some services get updated in the last 2 weeks, and now the phone is good enought to use, not perfect but is good, 90% of the laggy disappear, but I dont know for how long....
Sony nevermore...just clean androids like nexus....
I had to back to 4.3. The best rom ever. The 4.4.4 lags a lot on keyboard and multitasking.
If you have 2 or 3 app it's OK, otherwise not.
The 4.4.4 Taskbar is ugly, lags and worst than 4.3.
The question is. What the "Fuccc..." 4.4.4 have better than 4.3?
So, don't upgrade to kitkat. Only the real chocolate bar ir better than jellybean...

Screen off during calls
Just installed this for a friend yesterday. While she is on a call the screen turns off and stays off. She has to pull the battery to end the call, is anyone else experiencing this behavior? She downloaded an app to test the proximity sensor and the app showed that it wasn't working. I'm assuming that these may be related.
Keyboard Changer
Thanks dev for providing us with LP 5.02
Was running the 0105 build before the 0118 came out. Clean flashed the 0118 build and I was not able to change the keyboard, it keeps FC.
Main reason why I want to change it, is because the stock AOSP keyboard doesn't have swype typing functioning. The option is there (gesture typing) but it doesn't work. I would have to install the google keyboard and use that for swype to work.
Also, probably not a big issue but the google play movies & tv doesn't work.
Great ROM thus far though, thanks!
Failed to flash
I was trying to flash up from 4.1.1 is there extra steps I need to take? I also have a 4.1.2 modem.
I got it flashed after updating twrp. Next question is there a task manager? How do I close open apps?
I love the look of this ROM, but every time I flash lollipop on my T0ltetmo, I get Google TV and Movies force closing repeatedly. Has that been fixed in the new nightlies? What can I do to track down the issue?
T889 Note 2 constantly rebooting
I have just installed the ROM on my tmobile Note 2, and everything was fine except for the fact that is constantly returns to the android splash screen.
System profiles bug
Any chance you guys can fix the system profiles bug where WiFi fails to turn on if the profile also turns on Airplane Mode? I think you inherit it from a CM bug (BACON-1188, can't post a link) that has been ignored for a few months now.
I'm pretty sure the fix is as simple as moving mAirplaneMode.processOverride(context); up by ~10 lines in doSelect(Context context) in frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Profile.java (line ~750) , but I can't currently get 5.0.2 to build at all so I have no way of testing.
My experience after a day on Nameless
I was running a stock Samsung Android 4.3 ROM on my Note 2, which had become so slow and unusable that I finally took the plunge and switched to Nameless. Here my results:
Used TWRP 2.7.2.0 without any issues
Followed the instructions on the OP for wiping and formatting
I used nameless-5.0.2-20150201-t0lte-NIGHTLY for the ROM
And gapps-lp-20141109-signed for Google Play
The whole process went really smooth, and everything came up fine the first time. I was ready to claim victory until I decided to add a second Google account (I keep two separate accounts, one for Personal and one for Work).
Right at the end of adding the second account I suddenly started getting dozens of Google Play Movies & TV has stopped working popups. First they came really fast and then slower and slower until the Note 2 eventually froze up and I had to take out the battery to restart it. Once the system had booted up the same thing started again, Movies & TV endlessly crashing until the system was frozen after about 1 minute.
The third time around I managed to quickly navigate to the Apps settings and disabled the Movies & TV app (since you can't uninstall it). Before I could finish it froze up again but this time after restarting it was good again. Interestingly it didn't actually disable the Movies & TV app, but it looks like it had wiped its cache, which must have been enough to get it back to stable mode. I have a feeling adding the second Google account synced something into it that messed it up. However, on the Work account that I added there are no Movies or TV shows at all, but my Personal account has some.
Just thought I should share this since it doesn't seem anyone else mentioned it on the thread yet. I'll post again if I hit any other issues. This is my main phone and Android device which I use all day long, so if there are issues, I'll find them
Thanks a lot for providing this ROM, other than my small issue it's like a billion times faster and better than before, awesome!!
Does anyone know how do I get the headset volume higher? It is kinda low. Everything else seems perfect in volume.
The ROM is perfect!

I had the same thing, but was able to fix it by wiping the cache for the Movies & TV app in the App settings! If that doesn't work for you and you don't really need the app, you can also Disable it in the App settings, which should keep it from trying to launch.
Day 2 experiences
This is a follow up from my previous post with day 1 experience after installing this ROM.
I've been seeing some graphics rendering issues which have led to the device freezing up requiring battery pull
Sometimes when scrolling in Google Chrome the bottom of the screen looks all scrambled, but refreshes and looks fine once I stop scrolling. No lock-ups from this.
Games that play video ads are my #1 problem. If I'm lucky the video ad will play but the colors look all messed up, a mix of black and white and green flashing. If I'm unlucky, the video won't play and the device freezes up instead.
Any way to fix this?
I also had an issue with the keyboard Gesture Typing not working, which I resolved by installing the official Google Keyboard app from Google Play and use that instead of the Android Keyboard (AOSP) that came with the ROM, even though they look and work exactly the same and have the same settings. And even though I didn't have any issues, I did the same for the Google Camera app, where I installed the Google Play version instead of the built-in one, even though it looks and works exactly the same.
This ROM is awesome! I waited until last week then made the jump, thought I'd let all you "release freaks" deal with it first. Except for a couple of crashes in the first two days this has been very stable. Everything works for me.

You can use the AudioFX app to boost the volume for your headset, that's probably the easiest way if the regular volume control doesn't go loud enough for you.
Thank you but I already tried that by turning up the EQ to the highest. It's hard to hear someone if the surroundings are loud. I have been using the speaker to get by at work.
NamelessRom 2.0
Why is there no OTA update integrated within the settings. This Rom is great one of my favorites. We as users should be able to get quick fixes and updates as soon as they're released. The quicker we can get these updates the faster we can help make this better, faster, and truly more efficient.
Otg is not working and screen cast is not working . any fix available ?
Update:
screen cast will work through Chromecast app but will not when using the toggle .
Otg works but device must reboot to use it the second time
Are there any kernels with sound mods . I tried boeffla control but it stated , not supported .
Update: AGNi pureCM OC v3.0.3 works great it's found in the N7105 forum
Gear S wont pair to Samsung Gear App
I installed this rom on my phone and I have a gear s and I have read other posts trying to get Gear app to work on Lollipop.
I got the app installed successfully, but every time I try to connect the watch to the app, it says "unforuntalty, HostManger has stopped"
What can I do to get the watch to pair up with the app?
ambiant display
this question is for those running the latest version of this Rom (31/03/2015). has anyone gotten ambiant display to work with this update?
A few days ago I purchased a new SM-P600 and have been getting to know my device. It has downloaded a firmware
update which I have not installed yet. l can't seem to find any comprehensive info on what exactly the new update offers, like what sorts of changes or improvements should I expect? Will the interface look different? Has anyone taken any pictures or are there any tutorials ? l haven't made any changes to the device yet other than downloading some apps. l haven't ever updated or rooted a tablet before, so I want to make sure I don't screw it up. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.
Are you on kitkat? Of so, it is most likely the lollipop update. You can see reviews and screen shots in this forum. Mixed opinions, but personally, I think it's a very good update.
Updating over the air like you have done is safe. It will not damage any data or files unless you deliberately do a factory reset or the tablet switches off in the middle of the update.

Apparently I have Jelly Bean and it's an update to Lollipop 5.1.1 I'm not concerned about data or anything since I haven't created/stored anything on it yet. Just installed a few basic apps and set up my email.
One of the things I'm encountering reading the threads is that a lot of people have rooted or made changes to their device and I'm wondering how that affects functionality. I'd like to see/read a review from someone that can show how the stock update functions in comparison to what I currently have on it. I just think I should make some decision before I start to get used to this version and to store stuff on it.
Overall I'm happy with it as it functions now. I'm only noticing two issues. It seems to give me battery life of about 5 hours. I have turned off a lot, and turned brightness down, but perhaps there are more things I should be doing to optimize the battery. The other problem is handwriting doesn't want to function with Dolphin browser. Seems to be working in fine in every other app.
Rooting has nothing to do with the update. 5.1.1 is a very major OS update from Jellybean. It has a different UI, and better, more fluid experience (at least for me). If you are an Spen user then there are major improvements, themselves worth the upgrade.
You can root or not, as you wish, whether you update or not. If you want to see what the update looks like, you will find comments, screenshots and videos if you google p601 lollipop
Hi guys!
I have had a HTC M8 for over 2 years and have loved it very much. I didn't like sense very much so I put the google play edition ROM on there so that it was just running stock android and it became my dream phone. I decided to upgrade to the HTC 10, but sense is driving me insane again (although it is much better) i do just want to go back to stock android again. There's no GPE version of this phone, is there still a way that I can go to stock android on my HTC 10?
Thanks in advance
Brad
Great question, and I wish there was an option, in some settings somewhere to just reboot into stock Android, but sadly nothing like that.
Only option is to wait for CM13 ROM's to come out this Summer to get away from Sense
There will be non-sense ROM's out soon.
Btw, if you just replace the launcher to something like Nova or whatever you like, Sense is basically not even there anymore.

Thank you for your reply Glad it wasn't a stupid question.
So Cyanogen Mod is effectively just stock android? Or will there be subtle differences between that and the Google Play Edition ROM that I'm used to?

Yes I did install the Google Now launcher, and it has definitely helped, but there are still some little things about Sense that are driving me crazy. Little things... I just have minor OCD... I hate HTC's lockscreen clock, I don't have my location services on all the time, so the lockscreen clock gives me a "weather unavaliable" error 24/7. I don't even want weather on my lockscreen. And also it drives me crazy that I can't install Google's phone app, that is way better than HTC's. And also I can't uninstall Instagram, and Facebook etc, apps that I don't even use!
I know these things probably seem silly to most people but they're really annoying to me, hence why I want to go back to lovely stock Android! Do you know if I could achieve what I want simply by rooting my phone? Or would flashing a new ROM be the only way?

Try Nova, honestly it makes GPL seem silly. As for the lockscreen widget, I'm trying to get rid of that myself so let me know if you figure it out :silly:
The unwanted apps like facebook/insta have been disabled on my phone so they don't run background services and I have used nova to hide the icons. They may as well not exist on the phone but unfortunately I can't remove them completely..at least not without root, which leads to my next point...
You can achieve most of the things you want (removing system apps etc.) with root. Short of wanting additional features (even this can be done via xposed to be honest) baked into the OS or wanting a pure stock experience, you can achieve what you need with root. However, I won't go into all the details with the issues with unlocking your BL and rooting and doing S-Off etc.

That's not stock Android, it's just a debloated Sense ROM.
To the OP, CyanogenMod is close to stock. Think of it as stock Android with tweaks and additional customization.
so you have an working cm Image?!

I d said a "clean version of stock rom".
did not say that is gpe or aosp..

Sense is bloatware? okay, nice to know

I feel the same way about the HTC sense interface.
What I did was install the Google Now launcher so that took care of part 1.
Then I side loaded the google dialer ver 2.5.11 rc8-20511
Then I side loaded the google contacts
Then I installed from the play store google Messager and Google calendar and Google Clock.
I then turn off blink feed and now the phone is 99% like stock android!
I also installed Chrooma keyboard or you can go with swift key!
Hope this helps you cause now I'm loving the phone!
kae9797:
It looks like a great option! I tried it yesterday, but I have one (yet) issue, phone is not ringing, when incoming call... I gave it all permisions I could, but no sound and no vibrations, just on display
I installed Google dialer 7.0.140861421-nonnexus from apkmirror.com.
I found this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/stock-google-dialer-ringing-loudspeaker-t3373657/page4
but there isn't any working solution as I know. Maybe something with root permisions is working?
I will try later and older versions of dialer, but I'm afraid there isn't any working, when noone here get it done...
I would suggest you to try resurrection remix ROM. I think it's the best AOSP ROM out there. Just like you, I have a minor OCD and hate the sense lockscreen, dialer and everything. Gets boring after some days.
I installed Lineage OS yesterday night, and now I'm testing it. So with open Gapps it bring me what I wanted! This ROM looks nice.
I don't think HTC sense is boring, it's just tragic...

How is lineage at the moment, many significant bugs? Since there's no stable version yet, you are using the nightly, right? Since they release one new version every week, how does the updating process work? It's like and OTA update?

It is very stable and one of the best performing ROMs right now, although I had stutter issues few months ago. It's pretty much gone in the newer versions. I'm using this as my DD and I haven't had a single bug till now. The updating process is just like stock. There's updates tab in about where you can see the available nightly. You can download it and will be flashed automatically in the recovery. Just make sure you have the latest version of twrp installed.
Badelhas:
As you say, it's nightly, I didn't really noticed it much, because there weren't any more stable, than this nightly But I read here on the main LineageOS topic, that there aren't any major bugs, so I tried it.
There are some (important) features (rather than bugs) not running - you cannot use home button to wake up phone like on stock ROM (without fingerprint). So you have to use phone as Nexus f.e.
One night, i had about 50% battery and fell asleep, than get up before morning and discovered, that phone is very HOT and without energy! I think I read about this bug somewhere, but don't remember where. Anyway it happened only once and I installed an update from that time.
I didn't know how it goes, because immediately after first install of this ROM it offered me an update, but failed every time before download completed. So I waited some time and finally this week downloaded latest version via update notification, did backup for sure and then installed it. It switch off and then boot into TWRP and did installation, everything alone without any interaction needed.
Then booted (quiet long for the first time) and that's all.
Maybe there is something more, I will let you know, when I remember.
