bde upload of mtd miui 6/27

I just wanted to let someone know that I have flashed this particular rom, and it does work. I am having some issues with calls as soon as i make one the phone vibrates and the display shuts off and doesnt come back on. I have installed soft locker, so im not sure what the issue is. I am going to terminal emulator back to recovery and wipe everything, reflash, and apply the patch. Please note that I found this rom in the IRC Chat.
edit: I was able to make calls and the sensors seem to work. ill do more testing and report back later.

You have to flash the patch.zip after you've flashed the ROM... it's also linked there in the IRC, but it's not quite yet ready for public posting, when it is we will surely update ChromWolf's thread

yes I saw that in the IRC, the first time I did it it worked but with the phone issues, I redid the whole process, I came from mtd cm7 and used terminal emulator to get into cwm 4 and wiped both the cache and data, I also mounted the data and some other things that werent mounted. After that I flashed the rom and then the patch. Everything went perfectly after I did that, no issues so far.
Tested: 3g, wifi, camera, camcorder, market, xda app, music, sd card, gps, sms, phone calls, and sensors. Everything works. I even get the phone to wake from a deep sleep to receive in-coming calls and texts.
Awesome job guys!!!!

They do their own edits to make mms / deep sleep work?

For clarification, deep sleep for me works, as for the mms I believe that has not been touched still. I'm sure in the future it will be looked/cared about , but in the here and now this is the ****.
I always kicked myself for going away from my htc desire, every time I would see one of my friends rocking miui. Now its our turn!!!
Also, I am not using soft locker, with the edits that were made to this rom its seeming like its not needed anymore.

Still working flawlessly?

There hasn't been anything done to fix the deep sleep issue, it's still prevalent in JT's CM7 and therefore carries into this, I'm still using the softlocker app and "stay awake" options while charging to keep the phone out of deep sleep. The last big fix jt did was rewriting the sensors, so that is cutting down the bugs big time, but I'm pretty sure this is still an issue.
I will say that in previous MTD tests I had odd issues with data and SMS, with the 6/27 port it's running much more stable and I'm getting much faster 3G speeds than before (jt suggested we replace a few files from our specific roms)

AFAIK, Jt updated his overlay before building that, to include those files (it's just all of the files from system/etc/PPP/ from any of our pnp/stock builds.) check your /ppp/ folder and make sure it has 6 files in it

One thing I have noticed is there doesn't seem to be camera led light working. Anyone else having that issue? I have been using a flashlight app for a few months and it just doesn't work.... the light that is not the app. I have tried other apps also.

[Q] SCOM did not let me call 911!!!

OK so last night, I was at work and I was in a situation in which I had to call the cops and paramedics Every time I'd dial 911 it would quickly hang up right after I'd press the call key.has anyone on this rom tried dialing 911? Probably not but if this is a rom related issue,it needs to get looked into. I love the rom but had to flash unnamed back just to get it to call 911. All of the other numbers I tried calling worked fine, not sure why that one didn't. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about you being in a jam. How long ago did you flash the rom before the situation? I know on a couple of roms where I tried to dial a number or mainly just access my recent call list it would FC on me. After a few bouts (all within a minute or so of fiddling around with it) I finally got it to go through. I'm assuming it's some kind of cache issue.

I downloaded it right after it was released. Everything was working fine. Even the other numbers I tried calling would work. It was just the 911 that would. It would hang up as soon as I'd press the call key to the weird thing is that nothing was force closing.
I tried calling at least 20 times with the same results. I'm just hoping it doesn't happen to anybody else. I'm a security guard and I found a very ill homeless man were I work. I had to get a hold of them you know? They said poor guy would've probably not made it through the night.

This is going to be one of those bugs that is hard to iron out. However I know the vibrant cm roms use to have issues dialing 911. It was finally worked out.

Ill look into this first but it will be hard since ill have to dial 911 to check for sure :/ ill get back at u tonight
if you ain't first you're last

Just tested it and it works so maybe bad download/flash?
Edit: if you can test the error with a logcat since everytime i dial it goes through and if yours doesnt it will help.
if you ain't first you're last

I wouldnt recommend hanging up on 911, that could land you with a fine and/or 3 hots and a cot.
Could a different dialer cause this kind of issue?

I re downloaded the rom and re flashed it. I don't know much about logcats but I'll try to get one.
the problem seems to be fixed now though. I dialed and the call began to go through unlike last night, it just kept saying call ended. I'm just glad it wasn't a rom related issue. Most likely a bad download. Thanks guys.

Try using the GB Starter pack or Heimdall-ing the KJ6 rom. After, reinstall the S-COM and check if dialing 911 works before restoring any backups you created.

911 problem
That happened with me last night when someone had smashed into our parked car. It would come up "EMERGENCY NUMBER" and then just quit and not call 911. But I'm just using the old Valhalla rom.

Problem with MMS

I've had a lot of problems with receiving and sending MMS lately.
As always, T-Mobile has been no help and has said everything is working fine on their end.
When i try to send it just says "sending and never does anything" and i usually don't get people's pictures.
I've even tried to change ROMS and still have the same problem. I'm currently on the ICS AOSP one.
Any help?

Did you lose your imei when flashing? That is typically the only reason to not be able to send texts if you have service otherwise.

Are you sure that you have your data turned on? MMS won't send or receive without it

my normal texts work.
and yes my data is on. When i try to send it says "sending..." and never does anything (has said it for over 12 hours now) in the mean time ive done other things using data such as web browsing and using apps. So i know my data works.

Factory reset/data wipe. It sucks to have to set the phone back up but Im sure it will help.

Whenever that happens I send an mms to myself. Somebody from t mobile said that would fix it, maybe in the my touch 4g forum, had no idea why though. Something worth trying at any rate

I actually just did that yesterday. Didn't solve the problem. I also reflashed AOKP. That didn't work. I restored to a backup of Milestone 6-1. That didn't work. I reflashed KJ6 modem. That didn't work. I flashed KG4 modem. That also didn't work. So far the only thing that seems to give me some data is running it on 2G only. I think on Monday, I'm going in to get the phone exchanged for a new one, and I'll just do a fresh flash right out of the box to ICS from stock GB. (Of course, following all the directions.)

Using the heimdall one click to stock kj6 flash back to stock. Then use the antonx one click, it sounds like you just have dust bunnies that needs sweeping up.

I'd thought about doing that, I guess I'll try it right now, since I've got time. Would I be able to just install SGS Kernel Flasher and flash AntonX's kernel from that after using Heimdall to stock rooted?
EDIT: Sorry I'm kind of hijacking this thread, but I Heimdalled back to stock, but I'm still having the connectivity issues. I have full 4G signal, but data is crawling to the point where the connection times out before I can even load anything. When I set it to GSM only (EDGE), I can get data, but not the 4G speeds I'm paying for. Reverting to Plan A and getting it replaced on Monday. (I hear it's possible it's a SIM card problem too...) Thanks for the help though.

Hi,
New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:
Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.
However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.
Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.
I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.
Thank you.
Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:
Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2
1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.
If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.
Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.
I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have u tried using a different launcher just to be sure its not hardware/ROM related it might be the launcher?

--------------If you like puzzle, tackle this---------------
I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.
My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.
I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.
I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.
I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.

I am trying to install the stock systemui.apk file on my phone after I screwed up and flashed the wrong one, but installation always fails. I have moved the .apk to the /system/app folder and have changed the permission of the .apk but the file still won't install. What can I do?

carrier
Since you carrier wont load I believe following this tutorial with help fix your problem but check the conditions. Im not allowed to post links apparently so I attached it. I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

I can't recall when I last had it working but my NFC completely stopped working. I have tried reverting back to absolute stock rooted nandroid. That didn't work so I Odin booted back to the original unrooted firmware. Still same problem. If I try to uncheck NFC from the more options it moves over and is immediately flipped back. I have gone into a Verizon wireless store to seek help but the guy made a sarcastic remark that his iPhone wouldn't have that problem...but I also as a few other notes I have tried hells ROM and also flashing the NFC file with the ROM which also didn't work and have tried the few NFC Google wallet fixes I have seen, also sadly no luck. I'm stubborn and don't want to give up if anyone knows if there is a possible fix, hope you can possibly help!

replacement?
I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.

I have the stock battery and when I did call Verizon the first time they wanted me to contact Samsung first then get back to them so I figured i'd bring it here. It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.

nfc
Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.

Has anyone encountered this voice mail bug?

Hey all,
Ugh, didn't mean to post yet!
I just updated from CM9 to 10.2 in the hopes it might fix this bug, but it didn't. I suspect then that it's not ANYTHING to do with a ROM per se but I'm perplexed as to what it is.
The behaviour is:
- I get a voice mail
- After listening to the voice mail, deleting it, and hanging up, the notification doesn't disappear
- Some time later, I get a repeat notification of the voice mail
- During this time, I can't receive any texts
- About a DAY later, the phone will realize that voice mail actually has been deleted
I've tried searching xda, and I've tried general googling, but I haven't pinned anything down. I've seen some references to what might be a similar bug, but not with these ROMs, and... honestly a couple of YEARS ago.

You Might have to one-click back to
stock.
That should fix it..then work back up.

Well, I did do a factory reset.
Is resetting to the stock ROM actually guaranteed to, well, basically format /system?
(Oh, and I flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451317 )
P.S. see here for someone's... probably unorthodox solution to the problem. Basically seems to be forcing # of voice mail notifications to 0. Which isnt really what I want, anyway.

(Oh, and I flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451317 )
P.S. see here for someone's... probably unorthodox solution to the problem. Basically seems to be forcing # of voice mail notifications to 0. Which isnt really what I want, anyway.

That looks like a work-around not a solution. .
Yeah if you odin back to stock...
Its a guarantee it will format your system partition..
Try gremlin remover its always worked for me and odin is pretty simple..follow the OP its a one-click pre-made odin setup so dont change anything and your good.

Once your back to stock...
And the problem is fixed.
I always went to Team Acids CM9.
Let the partitions convert..
Then on to CM10.2 or whatever..
Never had a problem this way..

Unfortunately, I have the 959W rather than the 959V so I can't use it.
And I remember upgrading from gingerbread to CM9 was a lot tougher than I expected (I think getting the drivers to work right) and I had to get a LOT of help from a member here on the forum. IIRC there were a lot more reboots required of the phone / my PC to get things to work.
All in all I probably shouldn't mess around with ROMs. Hardware problems make me angry and frustrated.

O..didn't know you had the T959w..
Well I have seen something similar
On the Samsung GS4G Blaze..
They had a call fowarding bug that was carrying over on Roms..
It was something in CM11 that they
Figured was being written on the
Sim Card..and it was even carrying over to any Rom you flashed..
Once you got it... it didn't matter
what Rom you installed
full wipe or not it stuck..
They have Offical CM11 and the
CM team fixed it..but I remember it took a couple weeks..
Have you tried getting another
Sim Card..couldn't hurt..
Have you tried Force closing the
Phone Apk.and clearing data..
Also found this..
Here's what just worked for me on my Tmobile Galaxy S III
1) Pull the battery
2) Wait a few minutes with the battery out (I waited 5 minutes)
3) Pull the SIM card
4) Replace battery and power up phone. Wait until phone is fully booted
5) Power down phone
6) Replace SIM card and power up
Annoying VoiceMail icon is now gone.
BTW.. I hate the voice mail notification...
I wish people would
Never leave me a voice mail..LOL..

Oh huh, I missed your reply till now.
I think force closing the phone app and clearing caches works but ONLY temporarily and then the problem reoccurs (when the phone decides to check for more voice messages?)
Man if this was something being written on the sim card and not a ROM thing that'd be really annoying. But couldn't I "just" wipe the whole sim card? That's gotta be possible, right?
I'm trying the pull-battery-and-sim-card just to see what happens.
On the plus side I found some old posts of mine on the forum and realized that I only ever used this new computer for flashing stuff. So I just have to figure out which USB port worked last time... the usb drivers should still be installed and everything.

^ Just curious what modem are you using? Is it patched to work on MTD partitions layout? Is it the stock one from Wind the Canadian carrier?
Try using modem LB6 for 959w/v patched to work for mtd roms, hope this will fix the issue.

I believe I am using the LB6 - certainly, I'm not using the stock. (The only confusion is that I've got zip files on my PC for the LB6 and a KG4 modem.)
Whatever modem I have on my phone was working fine prior to some upgrade of CM9 (IIRC).

God!!!
So I got Heimdall working again, flashed to stock, reformatted my SD card, re-updated to CM10... and I'm getting the same problem again!
So either it's the CM 10 ROM or something with my phone company! GRRRR...
Maybe the next step is to go back to stock and then just try CM 9. Or even CM 7 or something... put a modem on the stock ROM and see if THAT still ****s up.

Aaaaand stock + LB6 modem gets the voice mail notifications.
!%()*!%()*!#% phone company!
