I'm having issues with Fring force closing every time it try's to bring up the front facing camera in video calls. Now I know this thread usually wouldn't belong in Android Development, but it only happens when I'm not using the Stock Rom or Kernal. I've tried the Baked Snack ROM, Tha Boss Rom, & Andromeda Galaxy Rom and they are all exhibiting the same problem. Also, I've tried using the Kernals that come with each rom, and also the MixUP kernal and its the same thing. I'm not sure if its because of some conflict that occurs, or what. Is anyone having this problem?
I've had the same problem. Flashing back to stock did fix it.
have you guys tried clearing the data? just a thought.
I have the same issue, i have to flash to stock then flash a rom, if i flash more than one rom it force closes, then after flash to stock and nand droid backup sometime it will work and other times it wont, just seems to be hit or miss for me goodluck on getting it figured out
Good to know it's not just me. Thanks for the responses. It's my girls phone so I'll see which she prefers (Rooted/Rom'd/Kernaled or Fring). She'll probably choose Rooted though because of the better battery life. I'll keep an eye out for a fix.
Same with me in BOSS ROM v0.2

Yeah I think it's an issue with all the roms as of right now. Hopefully one of the Devs will take notice of this issue and work out a fix for us. Thanks in advance guys.
Add me to the list...using Andromeda and it gives me the FC everytime...going back to stock fixes it.
Thought I was the only one too...
Yep fring definitely doesn't work with custom roms, I have tried every possible combo and nothing helps. Stock looks like the only option so far

So who be upgrading to froyo now that its available ?

Pointless thread.
The only think that The update is good for is the source code.
just updated. now ill wait for some ROMs to finally start flashing.
Its been available, only people who will upgrade to it are on stock anyways.
How is it ? I'm running. Firefly 2.2 suckerpunch kernel # 51 and a theme by darky u think its worth for me to flash back to stock and upgrade

If you ask me, not a chance.
basically upgrade if you're bored. its for folks who dont want to flash custom roms more or less. all the customized stuff the devs on here offer is way better than official 2.2
all in all not worth it. still havent found a lagfix yet but have figured out how to root/install cwm
now i wait for the first dev to create a rom i can test
I'm only curious if gps is actually better, but sounds like it's not. Shocking...

There's a whole thread full of posts from people who already upgraded. The title is secret, though, so you might have missed it. It has the words "Official Froyo" in it.

If you haven't tried it, how do you know if it's better or not?
You might want to see this post. Supercurio, who developed SPeedMod, has injected Voodoo Lagfix into the Rogers Froyo Kernel, it will work for AT&T Froyo. I have better speeds and performance than on any custom ROM or SpeedMod. Try it out.

Have you tried getting into LBS test mode and resetting your GPS Data?
*#*#3214789650#*#*
Then select delete GPS Data
Also, first locks on new software take longer the first time. If you do the above, it should help.

Didn't take longer when I flashed Cog or supernova.
I didn't flash KB1 but not surprised there are still issues. GPS data, servers and all that won't fix broken hardware.

Well, maybe just give it a try. It can't hurt.
I guess we're lucky in Canada, haven't seen anyone here with these GPS issues.
You guys act as if these custom roms are without bugs. I have flashed many of them and im back on stock because there is always something wrong. besides its not that hard to remove the bloatware yourself. My gps hasnt ever worked on any custom rom dont know if it will on knew one since it wont let me upgrade. problems with call logs showing incorrectly or problems with txt, bt crashes. I have no problems on stock at all, removed all att stuff and it is the way i want it, I dont even use the themes that come with em only a few i seen that i liked and had to buy seperately to make it complete.

Well put. Custom ROMs are basically skinned stock I9000/2.2 ROMs anyway, with bloatware stripped out, other functionality added, and custom kernels and modems.
The beauty of a stock ROM, rooted, with boatware removed(TiBu) and a voodoo injected kernel is better stability, functionality, and reliability. A lot of people here who use custom ROMs have never had access to a native 2.2 stock ROM, and thereby have nothing to compare it to, yet they are stating that custom ROMs are better than 2.2 stock, but how would they know? They've never tried it. Why not try it out? We already have a working 2.2 kernel with Voodoo Lagfix, and I can't say it enough: for me, better speeds, better reliability, faster performance, etc.
However, I'd like to see what happens when we can start making custom ROMs based on 2.2 rather than I9000 though. Non of this wishy washy kernel/modem compatibility etc. It will be better for everyone.

Andromeda is built on a stock 2.2 Captivate ROM. So is Cog 4.
As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.
So was it strange that I was never told this thread even existed and had no idea until just now? For anyone still having problems, a few troubleshooting techniques:
-When installing, are you sure you cleared cache and dalvik? If coming from a major release to a major release, did you do a full wipe instead?
-Are you using the proper radio, as posted in the first post of the thread?
-Are you using any task managers or antivirus apps?
i just flashed 1.2.11 to my phone which i decided to finally root after about 4 months, and i love it. I installed barnacle due to the stock hotspot debacle and when i go to use it it tells me that NAT is not connected. now here at work, where i am testing it, i dont have great connection but i can get 3g to work here. what does it mean when NAT does not connect?
Sorry, no answer here on the hotspot issue. Have you PMd Mister ClearD? He is very responsive and has been working hard on this whole hotspot issue... he'd likely be very interested in your problem.
I too am running 1.2.11, and am delighted with it. However, I am wondering if there is any way to get more volume out of the speaker for ringtones and alarms. I have them maxed out on the phone's adjustments, but it's still awfully quiet.
Michael look for an app called volume+ made by meltus I believe in the market. It works with gingerbread but not froyo. There is a few other fixes for the volume limit but I can't link them currently because I am on my phone. Do a search for it and it should come up. If someone doesn't post it up.

Hello,
Last night I flashed the latest ClearDroid ROM 1.1.51, but when I check under the software information menu, it says the Android version is 2.2.1
The flash seems to work because it says it's running Cleardroid.
Shouldn't it be running the Gingerbread (2.3) update or am I mistaken?
Also, the data connection seems to screw up, and only works when it wants. Sometimes ROM Manager will disappear from the apps menu.
I did a full wipe before flashing and it still won't work.
I also just flashed CoreDroid and it did update to 2.3 , but I want my stock HTC theme back!
Thanks!

The version 1.1.51 is still on froyo build but has the new ril for gingerbread. On the first page of the Dev post he has a link to the matching radio. Give it a flash and see if it helps with your data connection. If you want gingerbread his version 1.2.xx is the gingerbread Rom (still in beta), it has the fix for messaging but he is still working on tethering. It's still the stock look to the dot
On the app side I don't know what could be going on there, sorry I couldn't help on that point, (since I'm not having that particular error)

im personally running 1.2.12 RC2 which is his latest Beta, along with the suggested radio. i dont have any problems with network and it looks and behaves great while keeping that stock look. honestly i love this ROM. if you have any major questions just send ClearD a PM and he will get back to you. probably my favorite dev because he is so thorough and responsive to his followers.

to post my own answer ClearD told me that 1.2.12 has a working tether program. he is still working on making the stock tether work but for now the one he has included in the rom works great so no need for barnacle
Thanks Pytheous and Hiyabuz! I'll give the latest beta a shot because last night I flashed the rooted AT&T stock rom and my battery life improved but I'm still having data problems. Now I'm not sure if it's my cell company or the ROM that's causing the problems.
I'm afraid of flashing the radio and losing my signal completely!

This ROM, from what i can tell, is basically a stock ROM with all of the bloatware crap taken out, and a few cool gadgets added here and there. I love the ROM and the way it feels, but what i love the most is the responsiveness of the Dev for the ROM. If i have an issue i just send him a PM and he either sends me an answer or gets to work on it right away.
as for the radio i flashed the reccomended one on his original dev post and i actually get better signal in most places.
I also have another question of my own. i wanted to test out the GPS last night and it seemed a little more sluggish than stock. i could be immagining things but i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem also.

ok thanks buz. i just wanted to check
i only used it for about 3 min so it wasnt a very good judge of use
For example yesterday I retried mine first reconnect of gps after upping to new radio took 5 mins without vase and was sluggish. With case it took almost 10, today with case on first lock took 14secs with an 8 sat lock inside and using my case. its been awesome since he put in the gps fix. B4 it could take up to 30 mins for first lock without my case and it was only like 4 sats.

Noob here, I flashed the ClearDroid 1.2.12 rom a couple of days ago and love it. The only thing i want to change is the secure box in the messages menu. I would like to hide it or remove it, is it possible? Any help is appreciated, I did search I swear I did.
Will the Tiny audio fix work with this rom?
Issues with using latest gingerbread build.
Hello CleardDroid team;
I am a big fan your ROM, it works great on my phone. I have some serious issues using this ROM;
1) I am unable to compose message, when i try to compose message it force closes. I have tried alot to fix the issue but unable to resolve it. I have cleared its data, restarted it, fix the permissions using ROM manager, but failed to fix the issue.
2) Hotspot is not working, but I guess you are working on it.
Hi all,
My LG G2x phone flash with Pheonix Blood 1.6 CM7 is acting weird. It would have full signal bar, but I can't make or receive call. I would get a message saying 'No Services Area', but then it would work again after a few try. It happen when I do not use the phone for awhile and it sit there on my desk or in my pocket. I seem to only get this error when I am using CM7, because the Miui Rom is fine when I try it. I google it but not many post out there with this issue, and the one that do has it has no answer. Could someone please help? thank you.
Android Noob
I'd say re-flash and if that doesn't fix it, go to a different ROM. I used Phoenix Blood myself for about a day, then switched. Check your PM.
Yeah try reflash a couple of rom, seem like any cyanogenmod base rom give me that issue, and Miui give me random crash.
Phoenix Blood is technically a mod based on CM7, don't blame it on CM7. I had problems with PB as well, the one I have now, none. Haven't tried MIUI.
Yeah, I try the stable build from cyanogenmod website, the nightly build from the G2X forumn, and Eagle blood with all the same result for some reason. Yet stock and Miui doesn't have that issue. So that was why I though it was a CM issue.

If so it would have to be something with your phone, I don't get that problem and I haven't seen it mentioned before. Let me know how it goes with the ROM and Kernel I mentioned to you, and don't forget to flash gaaps.
Yup tried that kernel and rom you recommended and still having the same issue. Guess back to either stock or Miui for now and hope for better luck with ICS.

Weird, sounds like a phone problem to me. Good luck.
Ive had the CM9.1 r8 rom for a very long time but when my phone is around 40% battery life it reboots non stop that its gotten really annoying and frustrating for me because the fix is to charge the phone and if Im not home its a problem my phone is useless that I cannot use it anymore, as soon as I reboot and unlock the phone to send a txt or make a call itll reboot again. Anyway I want working roms with no bugs or glitches etc. Ive been googling some roms and stumbled on the Viper Venom rom but it said it was for another phone not the mytouch 4g slide. Is it possible to use other roms for other phones or is that a big no no? If so is there a working version for this phone?
If not can someone recommend a good working rom that does not drain the battery, lag, dodgy camera, wifi doesnt work etc?

Only a ROM that is specifically ported to THIS phone will work. You cannot just flash a ROM from another phone, that's a sure way to end up with a brick.
There are several ROMs here that a lot of people like. Personally, I use the Miktouch 0.7 ROM (with Liquid Smooth and Genius Button patches) because, like you, I want everything to work as it is supposed to work. It is a stock ROM that has been tuned and cleaned up to run smoother and faster. Though I like the look of some of the newer ROMs, especially the Jelly Bean ones, there's always a little quirk that is just enough to annoy me and make me go back to the Miktouch ROM. But, that's just my opinion, yours may be different.
Wrong section this is the dev section there is a question section people.

Ok thanks for the info and sorry for posting on the wrong section. Damn unlucky this rom does not work, I actually like the theme of it it looks really neat and clean for this phone. I just went to their offical website and they have a topic on the forum where the source code for this rom is kept private and you have to know how to make a rom and request permisson from them to grant you the source code and to also be a team member for them to port the rom to this phone orrrrrrrrr you have to send them your phone so they can experiment on it to make the rom for it. Just my luck Im not good at making roms I wish there was a way to learn I wouldnt mind trying to be a developer but it looks really difficult and not easy

CM9 R8 is really old too. there have been several updates to that rom since then
You mean cm-9-1-(3-0-74)-r11? I installed that last time but the wifi would not work for me, every time I tried to enable it nothing would happen. If I went to settings and tried to enable it from there again nothing would happen so I reverted back to R8

Are you S-On? If so, you must flash the kernel in bootloader separately from the ROM. WiFi not working is a classic example of the wrong kernel for the ROM.

Yeh I tried that few months ago and yesterday I flashed it 4 times. I even flashed r10 the older version twice and that too didnt work. Got it working eventually wow I didnt know I just had to keep trying to flash it till I got it working, looks ok now Ill give this rom a test and hope the battery life is better than r8. So far everything seems to be working no bugs or crashes
hello, i love my galaxy s3 and even more because i took the leap and rotted and I am running on roms. My favorite rom is cyanogenmod but I have never gotten the camera to work on it with anything greater than cm10.0. I am currently running AOKP which allows the camera to work which is awesome too but i would love to go back to CM. I have searched for hours but never found a solution that worked. I tried flashing a file that some around this forum and other forums have said fixed the CM camera issue but that did not help. If anyone know of a fix so i could use CM10.1 or CM 10.2 I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Have you tried a clean install of CM 10.2? I haven't had any issues with my camera running any custom rom.
Does it work at all, or are you just missing some feature?

I have not tried a clean install. I will try that when I get a chance. The camera sometime opens and I can zoom in and out a few seconds but then it freezes and the phone restarted. Also, other times the camera open to a black screen and freezes and the phone restarts. It really sucks This is the only issue I am having with CM and why I switched to another rom.
Doing a clean install fixed the problem. Thank you so much for your help. I would like to mark this thread as SOLVED but i do not know how. Hopefully an admin can do this.
