ROMs and Modems

Hi everyone,
I had been running LiquidSmooth 3.1 for several weeks with great results. I thought I would try something else for fun, and flashed a Google Edition ROM by Danvdh. It was not to my liking and I quickly went back to LiquidSmooth - however now I am finding I have very poor signal strength. I no longer receive signal in my garage, or at work, or even in my living room where this was previously never an issue. Right now I am sitting at my computer beside a large window, and I have LTE connection. By the time I have finished typing this post, I have no connection
I have now upgraded to LiquidSmooth 3.2 but the issue remains. I will lose my connection to Rogers and when I go to Mobile Network Settings > Network Operators it only sometimes finds a connection.
Is there any way I can test my antenna or flash a Rogers/Canada modem that might help with this?

Well this is interesting...let me provide some background info.
A few weeks back I broke the screen on my S4. I purchased a screen replacement on ebay for $120, but it was for an i9500 which has a few very small differences, and required taking an xacto knife to some plastic moulding to accommodate some different IC clearance. That worked great, but I noticed that my screen was constantly black when on a phone call - as if my proximity sensor was always detecting 'near'. Sure enough, I used an app to confirm this - and this is common after screen replacements with non-OEM screens. A fix for this is to put a small strip of electrical tape between the two proximity sensors so they can better detect a 'difference'. Put the phone together, and this worked great, my phone now properly detected proximity, I felt like a champion, so I wanted to flash a new ROM.........now read post 1.
I've attached a screen recording I took of it just dropping connection...and reconnecting, almost flickering in and out. It seems to average about -120dbm (10%), but I'm not sure whats normal. It seems to drop connection around -130dbm.

I've been able to flash a new modem I337MVFLUFNI2 but my issue still exists. Is it possible that I physically damaged parts of the antenna when replacing the screen? I am very confident working with electronics and there doesn't seem to be any physical damage that I can see

When using Danvdh GPE rom you have to manually select LTE from access point menu. Did you do this?

I would suggest you flash back to stock fw to your current boot loader. Of its mdj current then flash back to mdj stock via Odin. You have a miss match of hardware and perhaps a mismatch of uuids is your issue?

Then re-upgrade just modem. Be Sir to do this all with aim card out and no WiFi or else when on stock you may auto upgrade to Knox boot loader !

That sounds like a great idea. I found this thread that says my default would be I337MVLUEMK6 (is this my bootloader version?) . I went to samsung updates and found my phone the SGH-I337M with the MK6 and am downloading it currently. Will this flash my bootloader/ROM/everything back to stock? Or will I have to find a stock ROM as well?
I have selected LTE from my APN menu.
Attached are a couple screenshots of the Network Signal Info app I downloaded which has been a great resource. You can see that at some points I jump from great signal to no signal, almost instantly. I believe that this might be due to something that happened when I swapped my screen - perhaps a grounding issue of some sort....researching how to troubleshoot this as well.
Thanks for stopping by my thread :highfive:

[Q] Nook Color ROM fastest / most stable

Hi All,
I have a couple of Nook Color tablets with 16GB Sandisk C4 MicroSD cards.
Years ago I went all out and spent weeks tinkering with these to load a nice custom ROM (SD Boot); I even wrote a guide and shared it here on XDA.
Back then I used Mirage CM7.2 with V6 Supercharger.
What's the fastest most stable ROM these days for the old Nook Color? Am I better off installing custom ROM to internal storage this time for better performance or should I stick to MicroSD boot for the ROM?
Mainly I want to use it for reading ebooks (mantano reader with calibre companion) but web browser, gmail and maybe some youtube videos would be nice.
Any feedback is most appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Eltrkbrd

I use latest CM11 nightly with THIS kernel and I run the L SPEED v2 script HERE.
Pretty good performance and I mainly use it for music/reading, also I have Viper4Android for EQ.
Currently trying to get swap working to see if it adds any additional performance.

Jakeroxs,
Does your wifi work with the L Speed mod? I just installed v2.1 and mine is busted. I'm currently running the latest CM11 NIGHTLY (5/17/15), with whatever kernel it comes with. How does one install a kernel separate from the ROM? I am interested in your kernel because I think it OC's to 1200...
Anyway, I am nandroiding now, and I will then try the L Speed mod v2.0 and see if my wifi works again. I am so hoping it does. I went willy-nilly with the Speed Wizard before I noticed L Speed crashed the wifi, and boy, oh boy, did my Nook Color start singing. No lag, no SOD, no nothing; I thought it was a miracle. The device really felt like a new tablet.
---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 AM ----------
Okay, so I am working on the problem now. I just installed L Speed v2.0 and it crashed my **** too. But, I just unselected a boatload of options, rebooted, and va-la, wifi is again working. I will now systematically reselect options until the wifi crashes, and post the results.

Okay, so the culprit was the "Kill media server on boot" option. So, if you run L Speed on your CM11 Nook Color, and I suggest that you do, disable that feature. Since this is my first and only tablet, I am super happy about this. It is smooth!

I just tried to disable "Kill media server on boot" on L Speed 2.1 and my wifi is still busted.
Jakeroxs, can you tell us which version of L Speed are you running?

Bluetooth Issue with Cyanogenmod 12.1 optimized on S4 ???

I can't seem to find an answer...I tried posting on the JDC Team thread but it goes so fast, I think it has been passed over.
I am having a problem with Bluetooth. Within the last couple days (not sure when it actually happened) I can no longer activate the Bluetooth toggle. When I try it, it thinks for a second or two and then nothing...if I reboot and try and activate it, it moves to the on position but within 10 seconds it switches back off.
Is this a new problem? What is weird is on my wife's phone it is working fine. I am using the jflte version of the Optimized CM 12.1 by JDC Team..
If this is a known problem, please advise what I can do to fix as I want to be able to use the Bluetooth in the car.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think so. My bluetooth was perfect and fine with touchwiz 4.4.2 GNG8 rom. Now with CM12.1 "optimized" is not usable at all.
I still need to find any alternative rom because it's a big issue for me.

I reasearched a bit on this topic.
I flashed XXUHOD7 bootloader and modem and now bluetooth it's not crashing anymore:

I'll try it with my helmet headset tomorrow and I'll let you know.

Did you fix your Bluetooth with the new bootloader and modem?

I had a similar problem where I would try and turn on my bluetooth, and it would immediately switch off, almost like it couldn't find the hardware.
I fixed it by disabling System Profiles in Settings. The currently active profile said "turn bluetooth off", which I think was disabling it. Rebooted with no profiles and bluetooth seems to be fine.

Flashlight and flash mostly didn't work

On stockfirmware the flashlight and also the flash didn't work most of the time (battery >90%).
Only sometimes when connected to the powersupply it works.
When it works and I switch on the flashlight with connected powersupply and then I disconnect the powersupply, the flashlight is still on and can't be switched off.
First I have to connect the powersupply again and then I can switch off the flashlight.
I allready did a complete wipe, but it won't be better.

Same here, flashlight works most of the time tho, but flashlight on camera never works, it´s grayed out.
Did you report the bug?

I reported that bug now here: http://community.cyngn.com/t/some-m...lash-flashlight-poor-wifi-back-button-led/208
feel free to jump in there and post something yourself, the more people the better

I have noticed that the flash would only work if you use "Automatic" mode. In all other modes, the flash is greyed out.

I reported the excel-calendar-bug.
I'm a bit frustrated, because it seems nothing happens

Over a week without any update, but more and more bugs are reported, and the company/support doesn't give any feedback or even react on emails or reply on the cyanogen-community-board
It's really sad, because I think it could be really a great device, but it seems ZUK doesn't have any type of support.
If soon nothing happens, I will send it back and this was my first and last try with this company.

Anyone with the solution of camera flashlight.

LineageOS 17.1 for Aquaris X / X Pro

Hello,
I've just wanted to know who already tried to install Lineage 17.1 on bardock(pro)?
I'm still on Lineage 16 and a little bit afraid to change in such early state.
What are you experience?
Especially with TWRP an Lineage 17.1?
Let me know...

I installed yesterday on regular Aquaris X and it couldn't detect the SIM card. It was actually the first time I installed LOS or any custom ROM on this phone (I've done it on other phones) so I was afraid I did something wrong, but I just installed 16 and it works fine. So... avoid for now I guess

very well ... we have an open thread for this topic in which we talk about our experiences with this rom that I can already tell you is going very well.

But unfortunately I do not speak Spanish and the google translator does not work very well.
So if anybody of you got experience with LOS 17.1 and Aquaris X (Pro) please share your experience.

For me it works good so far, everything except the HW-Overlay. I have to disable it to prevent severe screen tearing in 3D apps.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to contact the developer Quallenauge to report this issue.

I've just flashed
lineage-17.1-20200620-nightly-bardockpro-signed.zip
[Magisk, no GAPPS]
Here are some bugs I've found:
- LTE+ is not working anymore
- Some translation is still missing
I will keep you up with informations. But so far its working good.

Media sound output through the speaker fails from time to time and a reboot fixes it. SafetyNet fails (CTS profile). Beside that, quite stable at the moment.

- LTE+ is working for me.
- I have also not experienced issues with GPS and inactive screen.
And if someone want to contact the developers directly, send me a pm for a link or search for "aquaris-dev". (I have not the post count to link them directly here! ^^)

Thx man!
It seems that my phone got some problem.
Maybe its about Afwall or the firmware.
I've just flashed: lineage-17.1-20201024-nightly-bardockpro-signed.zip
And now the phone randomly reboot.
And when I'm calling someone with the german carrier O2 after 5-10 minutes, the call is terminated and all connections get lost for one second.
Then everything comes back again.

Hi,
yep, I faced exactly the same:
I have flashed the same ZIP and my phone started to reboot randomly.
I hope it is a bug in the build, I'll try one of the recent builds. Lets see and hope.

Hi, I've got the same problem with interruption of phone calls after 5-20 minutes with Vodafone an Telekom as well. The connection is lost for one second on SIM 1 and tested also on SIM 2. The problem exists since about 3-4 months. I' ve updated Lineage 17.1 almost every weekend, but the problem still exists. I reported the bug already 2 weeks ago on GitLab, but no one of the developers read the report so far ... The phone also reboots randomly, mainly while using internet functions as mentioned in the previous post. The phone is still great, so I hope those things will be fixed.

I have re-installed it using lineage-17.1-20201114-nightly-bardockpro-signed.
No reboot loop anymore.
Updated to a newer build, still ok.

No,the problem is still present.
It's totaly random.
Sometimes it appears after 1 min., sometimes after 20 min.
Maybe some problem with the old baseband firmware ? I don't know.

Hi, my phone calls get interrupted randomly as well. Running 17.1-20201219-NIGHTLY-bardockpro. I read @danemyte 's gitlab issue. I don't know if my contacts put down the receiver too quickly but mine didn't seem to try and re-establish the connection after a moment. All I could do was redial. It happens in about every phone call, it happened 3 times in a 45 minutes call.
All the rest works well without any issues and I am still really happy with the phone so I also hope it will be fixed. Can I provide any helpful information? My log looks quite cluttered with information. Do you apply any filters before posting logs?

Hi, I also have to redial the contact after the connection interrupts. I also don't know how to filter the log. I wished someone one Gitlab would read the issue and could work on it. I'm also happy with the phone. Anyway, from time to time it reboots randomly, but it's getting better after every update.
