Different Data speeds with different roms - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why is this occuring? I'm using speed test, and the three roms i've tried kyobi has the strongest data speeds. I'd rather use poprocks rom from mega, but, the data speeds were about 20mb less.... Is this a modem or kernal issue? i've flashed the same kernal on all three.. I know poprocks was 5.0.1 vs 5.1.1 too. But even for Paul Pizz rom, data was slower... according to speedtest.net

Need a bit more info. Is your device a N910V? What firmware / Modem / kernel are you currently running? I don't know anything about Pop Rocks ROM, is it an International port?

poprocks is built by mega (androiduncensored.com) he's been a developer for a long time, also builds verizon specific roms. before he built firekat. for kitkat... very reliable roms. i'm n910v , dev edition. firmware i'm on BOK3, kernal i've mostly been using multi system 5.5 , and not sure about the modem.

I'm just spit-ballin here but have you tried to flash Battlehero 4/18/16 Data Fix V3.3

I just looked Pop Rocks up. Form what I am seeing it is an 5.0.1 LP ROM, Is that what you are currently running?

Well I was doing a bit more digging and I do NOT reccommend flashing the Data Fix I mentioned. Sorry, I do believe it is ONLY for the 5.1.1 LP and NOT 5.0.1 LP.

i've only flashed datafix when on ketal or kyubi rom. those roms have the fastest data speeds, i wonder if the international version bypasses some verizon speed limiter? or are the speeds mis read on those?

yea pop rocks is 5.01 - for verizon at least, mega doesn't think any of the changes of 5.1.1 are worth upgrading too

Yeah, I am running Kyubi ROM myself at the moment. I also have a backup made of Dr.Ketan ROM. I really like it as well. Dr.Ketan ROM has alot more tweaks available, but ya really have to watch out which ones you apply. Some tweaks break the devices call audio. After I get a ROM all set up and functioning properly, I always make a Nandroid befoer applying mods & tweaks. I have been doing alot of reading this morning about how to make or port ROM's so I can make my own. Android Kitchen seems pretty easy to use but I don't think it can be used with our device (N910V) and there is no more development for it since it has been retired.

Phone dropping incoming calls on answer - Android 4.4

ok, so long story short, I wanted to upgrade to android 4.4 KitKat on my S3, and after a bootloader and modem update, I did.
the bootloader/modem update I installed was the VLUEMK5 update, because my old bootloader was not new enough for KitKat to install.
everything seems to be okay, aside from the usual bugs that come with early distros of new software, but one thing that i noticed is that my phone drops any incoming call the second you answer it. no ifs, ands or buts about it. Im not sure if this is related to KitKat or my modem firmware, so i figured I'd ask since nobody else seems to have presented this issue.
I also cannot find the progress thread for the I747M cyanogenMod 11 that is hosted on get.cm, so if someone could point me to that itd be greatly appreciated.
but back to my problem; does anybody know what it might be, and how I can go about resolving it? or do i just go back to 10.2 for now?
please help! I'm expecting calls from employers and I cant answer them.
Whatever information you need I can do my best to find.
me too
Hi, I know this is an old issue, but I am having a very similar problem on my GS3 (AT&T) currently. I flashed to Liquidsmooth kitkat 4.4.4 and wasn't originally having this problem, but now it started. Did you find a solution to your problem? I have reflashed the rom a few times as well.
---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Check out this other task.
It was originally posted by a Nexus 5 user, but has been confirmed for other devices (including GS3) since. It seems to be an AT&T network issue in the mid-atlantic/tri-state area. Are you near Philadelphia, by chance? I'm convinced this is the root of my issue at least.
The latest CM11 releases require a KK bootloader and modem. MK5 is JB.

The ROM I've been trying is Liquidsmooth KK, so I don't think that is my issue.
I assume you're trying the latest version of liquid? I know that liquid used to use cm11 as a base for their ROM.
Try cm10.2 to see if this still happens. If it doesn't, this would lead me to conclude it is a ROM, bootloader, and modem compatibility issue.

[Q] (Which) Clean Rom with soft keys

Hello One X users
Since my capacitive keys and GPS stopped working, Im looking for a ROM which is very clean without sense and just pure android with works GPS and soft keys...(I dont dont how did GPS stopped working, couple days ago I needed it but it didnt fixed even after 5min with gps fix app)
Which ROM do you recommend...?
Thanks guys
I would use an older Paranoid Android ROM, like 3.65. It will have the soft buttons in use by default as it uses the Hybrid mode to make Android think it is a tablet etc.. Give it a go. 3.65 is quite good on HOX.
I think I will go with kitkat..

Try them all, it's only a flash away If you flash fauxs kernel you can try them all without having to flash the boot.img each time, you just have to flash fauxs modules after flashing the rom. I'm using slim rom, it's a clean rom but still got plenty of things to play with.

Some flashing questions

Hi.
I have a T989 and I recently installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it (the official version).But I am not satisfied and want to go back to this ROM which I was originally running:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485218
Can someone please tell me what is the most effective method for doing this.??.
thanks

That will work just fine. You might have to flash the version of gapps that corresponds to the version of Android you're installing to get Google Apps to work if they're not included.
I'd try out the final version of paranoid Android rom based on 4.4.4. It looks pretty sick.
Thanks a lot.:good:
Yeah sure I will take a look at Paranoid
One thing tho. From my experience anyway.
When flashing 4.1.2 touch wiz ONLY.....I always use these wipe scripts....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235141
And I flash 2.5.0.0 or 2.6.0.0 twrp first with odin or a flashable zip, then the wipes , then the ROM. Gapps are included in TW roms.
Then, if you're gonna flash 4.2.2 or higher aosp ROMs....update to a newer twrp, use its wipes and flash ROM then gapps.
You can try without any of that, but if you have issues....try it this way.
---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------
Don't use the wipes on anything but twrp 2.5 to 2.6.0.0 and never on 4.2.2 or higher....only 4.1.2 TW based ROMs.

Samsung Galaxy S3 --Want stable latest CM version

My wife has a T-Mobile Samsung GalaxyS3 model SGH-T999L running stock 4.3, which supposedly Samsung/TMobile doesn't offer any update for (she's tried update but if says she's up to date) So I'd like to install onto it, whatever the latest, most popular, stable CM version ROM is. I like the ability of Android 6 to limit app permissions so if that is stable and not too sluggish, great. (I understand nightlies are less stable so I think I want to stay away from those).
I'm not sure what the EOL "label" is on the ROM descriptions, end-of-life I imagine, so no further development? But if what comes after EOL is only experimental beta releases of a newer CM version, (until a final stable release), then I guess EOL is fine?
Anyways, if there's a well-written procedure for newbies on doing this upgrade, which also explains how to back up the original Samsung OS, proper active links for the right downloads, and most importantly step-by step directions, if you can point me to it, I'd appreciate it. Searching for her exact model # from the homepage of this website finds no hits....
Thanks,
Fil
There are custom ROMs for the T999L but it can take a lot of experimentation to determine the most stable ROM for your purposes. What works well for one user may not suit another user at all. ROMs for the T999 will work on the T999L.
In order to flash a custom ROM, you'll need to install a custom recovery and I recommend flashing the latest tar version of TWRP with Odin.
Just in case you need to go back to stock, download the latest stock ROM here and save it for future use: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-T999L/TMB/
TWRP here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2tmo/
Odin 3.07 which has always been stable for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421

I use my T999L as a spare and it's running pacrom 6.01. I haven't had any problems with it aside from OCCASIONAL slowdown (I'm not talking all the time or super major, just every now and then for all of 2 or 3 seconds).
I'm happy with it
Link to ROMs?
Thanks but can you provide a direct link to the various t999 or t999L ROMs you refer to, so I can peruse them?

here's the link to to the MM PacRom, You'll still need to flash gapps afterwards as usual. I recommend micro or nano.

You can for a ROM under the development forum. Take the time to look at screenshots and thread comments.

The most stable are always stock roms.
