I agree with you..theres like 5 different answers for every one question. All people seem to be saying is "search" rather then being helpful anymore. Its a shame you can't get help in the Q&A section..

I tried a few different ways before and after s-off, still not actually going past stock speeds at all. I think its a matter of having a modded kernel.

Thank you to both you, i appreciate what you both said, and it seems that I feel the same way, i imagine that we're not alone (this is how communities start, and of which xda WAS based. now it's full of ppl who would prefer to pass off a sarky comment than give you the answer to what eludes you)
It's a piss take and if the search function worked properly then i would use the ****er,end of, story be told the development thread is a mis interpreted thread of ppl trying to get the same thing but failing and hurting others unnecessarily is what happens a lot of the time, we're here to help each other boys' n girls not hinder, there are people out there who would kill for some of the knowledge that we possess, so without a sarcastic tongue, try to pass it on, and do it with a smile, because if i see another american flag with a prick on the end of it saying something which i would normally slap someone for then i'm going to board a plane and get my friend to find ppl'z addresses lol i'm joking, but seriously, the flames, the ****, the bollocks which comes with some of the answers, i could do without.
Can someone please help? does anyone give a ****? how can we overclock our ****ing phones.
PArdon the french but i'm pissed off at the lack of support around here, and the lack of updating threads when everyone clearly has S - OFF.

U need a kernel that supports overclocking (ex: unity v2).
Sent from my Dell Streak 7

I was having the same issues. Most of the roms are based on a kernel that doesn't o/c past 1.5 and is now controlled by
o/cdaemon. Like yall I like to play with setcpu and run it myself. All roms except for ones using stock kerenel use the new daemon. There are currently 2 roms that use a unity kernel that will oc to 1.8. They also use the daemon.....but if u download setcpu the daemon will turn itself off and let you use setcpu!!!! I flashed a cold different roms and the daemon wasn't working correctly (CPU wouldn't go past 1128). Either way ppl have different opinions about overclocking. Seems most devs now find it unnecessary since we have dual core now and better....everything. but for me....when running navigation, shooting emails every 5 minutes, uploading 100 work related pics, tracking work orders in a ****ty corporate made app, 50+ phone calls, burning up 1gb of data a day just for work, more mms' than a 16 yr. old sends in a year..........and checking the forums every chance in between. Basically I I NEED THIS PHONE TO HAUL ASS FOR 10 HOURS A DAY NON STOP TILL I WALK IN THE DOOR TO MY HOUSE
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App

Many of.the custom ROMs which allow OC use a new method outside of SetCPU. I believe its Daemon. You go into a file and set your clock values similar to how it was done in SetCPU. This is supposed to be much more fluid.
Check the the Virtuous Unity Rom. There is a whole paragraph and link about how to overclocked. Currently custom kernals break the camera flash. Still takes pics, but no flash. Should be addressed in the near future.
Hope that helped. I'm no expert so I recommend reading the linked post in the OC roms.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

You either use the oc daemon to overclock or use setcpu. As soon as setcpu is used, the daemon is disabled folks...
<--- using Unity v2 with SetCPU at 1.5Ghz with multiple profiles.

Is oc daemon something that we can use without a custom ROM? I am S-oFF, rooted, running stock rom with ADW EX. I have setCPU working, but only until a reboot of the phone. I dont really want to flash ROMs yet...
Matt

i am also waiting for oc daemon update.zip - would be great if rmk could create a independent update and there was another guy who started writing a gui for the "new" oc daemon.

So the way that I have been able to overclock so far was by using the temp root plus overclock method, even though i just S-Offed and im like you, I still do not want to flash any other roms for a while. What i do is just run the 1.8 ghz overclocked files a few time and then wala it works until i reboot and then i have to do it again. One thing that I have noticed is that when i over clock and run it hard, it burns up and then restarts, so i try not to run too many apps while over clocked at 1.8 hope this helps.

I am the same way. We really need a better way to do this with our stock rom. I wish people weren't pushing the roms as much as they are and did some work for those of us that don't want to flash roms yet.

Most of us are happy with the devs focussing on improving their respective custom roms. If you are that interested in holding onto the stock rom, it sounds like you've got a project to take on.
If you guys don't mind me asking, why are you guys hanging on so dearly to the stock rom?

For me, the reasons are strong.
1-Most the ROMs seem to be very buggy. I am a "noob" and dont feel like spending more time troubleshooting my phone and asking for help than I spend using it. I also have little clue as to why something FC or my phone freezes.
2-I havent seen ANYTHING that a ROM can do better than my "stock" ROM. I say "stock" because I have frozen Sense (much of it) with TB as well as a lot of random bloatware. I have also added ADW EX (paid) and my phone is extremely snappy.
3-The chance of FUBARing my phone is GREAT. I see plenty of experienced people talking of bricked devices and screwed up settings. Seems like a mine field out there! Seems best to leave this to the real Pros, for now, until better methods come up.
Ive yet to see a ROM even touch the we browser. It may be fast at loading, but its stiff as a board. Id be interested in a ROM that was just a thinned out version of the stock ROM (not gutted, like others are, removing everything) that had reliable OC and a much better browser, all with increased battery life. This all assumes the ROM didnt require me to do anything aside from flash it. No troubleshooting, no coming on here BEGGING for my noob question be answered in a dignified manner.
God forbid my SD card or something failed while trying to flash a ROM...
Thats asking for a lot, I know! Thats why I prefer to upgrade my phone in stages. If I add something and I get errors, I know why. I can remove it and then gripe about it from my WORKING phone. ;-)
Whew!

The buggyness that you speak of is largely due to the current state of our third party kernels. You could flash a ROM and flash the stock kernel to avoid many of the issues that you see people having.

How many do you consider "plenty"? I've only seen one report of a true brick and that was because the user was blindly executing commands in fastboot that he didn't know about. He was practically trying to brick his device. There have been a few other reports of hardware failure that probably would have happened even if those users had not flashed ROMs. Really, its almost impossible to truly brick your device. To brick, you would need a bad flash of the bootloader (hboot) or radio. Nobody bundles hboots or radios in their ROMs. The worst that could happen from a bad ROM flash is a soft brick (fixable). I understand wanting to be cautious but I think it is quite an exaggeration to make it sound like flashing a ROM is a risky gamble or that "plenty" of "experienced" people have bricked.

I think you are asking for a lot. You're essentially asking for everything and willing to do nothing, except flash. Not troubleshooting issues or reporting bugs, just flash. I can understand not wanting to spend a lot time fiddling, I really can. But remember, stock ROMs have bugs too. Have fun with your stock ROM and its slow development cycle.

Man one big fight. Anywho get a person who has the o/c daemon to strip it out and put it on a filesharing site. Then download and install it. Have to be rooted. If you prefer setcpu when. You set a frequency tick the set on boot check box. Also would not recommend anything over 1.6 GHz bc you could burn out your proccesor. Hope this helps anyone.

Sorry, wasn't trying to pick a fight. I just thought it odd that someone would take issue with devs focussing on "buggy ROMs" instead polishing the stock one. I thought we root so we don't have focus on stock? Not to mention the fact that the current the crop of ROMs would never get any better if it weren't for the developers efforts on those ROMs. I just find it funny when people say "I wish more time/effort were spend on [insert ROM name here]" If you feel that not enough dev efforts are being devoted to something it might be time to learn to dev and do it yourself. Otherwise, accept the efforts that they have chosen to gift us with.

The best GB out there?

I've tried about 3 diff. versions of GB on my SGS4G and have noticed the same problems from one to the next. The first problem is the low volume on the 1st ring. Another problem is the calls going straight to VM or at least after the first ring. The last is the call log and notification bar not showing missed calls. Are these normal issues with GB or am I special? I've read other posts in diff. phone forums via searching and people have mentioned it, but nothing in this forum. If there are not any fixes I'll probably return to FROYO. Its always boggled my mind reading these forums and trying out diff. roms on my phone. I usually end up with more problems than I had to start with after flashing diff. roms. Much respect to all of the devs for the time they spend on making new roms but, if the roms are going to be spotty, why bother releasing them? I don't know, maybe its just me. In short I would love to have that BULLET PROOF rom someday. Well, time to stop babbling. Thanks for looking.

I think you're posting in the wrong forum. This is the development forum. You're problems are not ones i have personally experienced with sgs4 GB leak roms. Please read the stickied sgs4g Bible and ten commandments.

This should probably be in Q&A. Regardless, I don't think the problems you're having are normal. I can say I've tried many different ROMs from here and haven't experienced those problems. It may be you need to do a factory data reset or something to try and get it back to normal.
As for GB ROMs, though, they're not official yet so it's difficult to have the expectation of bullet proof. All of the GB ROMs on here are created from leaked versions of the GB ROM from Samsung.
Once they release something official you'll have a more bullet-proof ROM (though not totally...nothing ever is) and the Dev ROMs will be even sweeter.
Best of luck to you, hope you get it figured it.

First off... thanks for taking the time to read the rules, Secondly, I'm surprised he didn't get roasted, and why give him the answers, just point him to the correct link which would be here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
Read Read Read.... and before you ask a question unrelated to chit... read some more..... Ohooo and here's an idea pal.... try doing a search for your question.... as far as opinions on what GB is the best, like the old saying goes... opinions are like assholes - everybody's got one

Consider this reply as a flame or troll attempt. Just effin read! Thats the best GB rom. Read!

Is it normal for GB and not Froyo? Because on Froyo the first ring on my phone is loud. If it is a normal thing, it SUCKS.

The last time I remembered froyo had the low first ring too unless you installed a custom froyo ROM with it eliminated

My phone came right from T-mobile with a loud first ring. And the custom Froyo that I have in it right now does have a loud first ring, but I'm not sure if the rom was altered to make it that way. If the custom rom can be altered to make the first ring loud on froyo, why can't it be done on GB? Just a question.

Probably because we don't have source for gingerbread. I believe the low first ring its a Samsung only feature. I like the feature because I have time to react before it rings loud especially in a silent environment.

The low first ring may be a sign of a worn out wringer inside the phone.

I have noticed the low first ring only with a GB rom... but the other thing I have noticed that with each rom I try - some apps in the market don't show... Example... I am Running GB Audiophile's Beautiful Sgs4g #2 KI3 - And I can't find CBS Sports Football in the market - If I load ICBINB GB, I can find CBS Sports Football in the market... anyone else heard or run into something like this ??

why is it so hard to find what i need to go back to stock t mo us GB? i need wifi calling to work. is it too much to ask for some help? i have neen searching for hours. i need wifi calling. it seems as though these ics roms are all about colors and boot logos rather than actual full functionality. i just want to flash the firmware back and get a stock rooted rom.

Nice passive insult.
Anyway, two options:
1) Flash a RUU
2) Downgrade to hboot 1.17 and restore the gingerbread backup (that you didn't make) or flash a basically stock rom - such as ARHD.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
ARHD 6.6.2 has it in its installer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551714
OrDriod 2.0.5 as it in its installer
otherwise jsut search for the T-Mobile add-on pack

Thank you sir.

Should have been taken as more of a kick in the pants than an insult. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe a functioning browser and (in my opinion) WiFi calling are a wee bit more important than ever changing colors and boot animations. At this point I see no advantage with ics rather than gb. In fact for me I'm at a disadvantage because I have to pay an overage charge next month due to the WiFi calling not working. I don't think anyone could hardly blame me for being a little upset.

I thanked how ignorant that was. Every rom I've tried has had a functioning browser and since only two carriers on Earth use Wifi calling (I don't believe it's even the same kind), it's not exactly a priority. ICS brings HWA and proper dual core support - how you missed that; I'll never know.

WiFi calling is free if you have the free WiFi calling plan so yes it a priority for me. And um duh I am pretty sure what I am trying to do is go back to a stock Rom.

Would have been real easy. Flash old firmware. Reflash old ROM. Would have taken about 5 minutes.
And you wouldn't have had to make multiple threads complaining about how other people who don't owe you anything aren't making you perfect custom ROMs fast enough.

How about keep a stock backup on your computer too? I suppose that would require thinking ahead.
Of all the sensation devs we have I cannot think of one that uses tmobile USA, so it's not a priority for them is it?
Get over it, flash your stock rom, and go back to thinking the world revolves around you ;-)

enough flaming and fighting. Keep on topic, if you can't help don't troll the thread. Thanks.
noellenchris

you do know there are apps such as groove ip and talkatone that let you make wifi calling so you dont have to rely on t mobiles wifi calling app. and ics has many advantages besides "flashy colors and boot animations". and i as well have never had a problem with the browser in any of the 8-10 roms ive flashed. oh well have fun downgrading!

I guess ill never understand why people act like me going back to a different Rom so I can use a certain feature that I need without an issue would make any difference in your life. After all isn't that what the hell xda developers is for is to have a choice? Are people really like that on earth? I don't know you, you're nowhere near me and I don't give a damn about you. Why would I be told to "have fun downgrading"? Is my Rom downgrade affecting everyone's phone or is it just mine? I guess as long as someone else can say they have the latest Rom kernal and radio they can say that they're better than the next guy. I guess your idea of me "upgrading" is to have a phone with ics but to have my WiFi calling not work. Yeah, that's really an upgrade for me. Thanks for your godlike insight. I needed it to find my way in life to get a non working ics build on my phone so I can say I'm as good as you are. Thanks god.

I don't like the way the xda forums show up on the browser on ics. It's hard to explain but its like part of the screen slides over instead of the whole thing. It's wierd I know. I mean dang though if I'm having a problem is it really hurting anyone else if I don't wanna deal with it on my phone? I hate how the web pages are on ics. how many times did I say I want to go back to gb and wait for an official tmous ics update to come out and go from there? Wow. This is crazy. All I wanted was WiFi calling and a stock browser. I had no idea I was hurting anyone else by asking what I need to do to put gb back on my phone. I'm sorry. I'll just pay money in overage charges so that I can say my phone is better than his because it has ics even though its not really better for me cause my WiFi calling don't work and I don't like the browser. I'm so sorry.

No one cares what ROM you want to use.
What cheeses people off is the way you complain about the hard work of others not being good enough for you and demand that this community drops everything it's doing to help you do something. And you act like we're bad people because we're not putting YOUR needs as our top priority.
You get back what you give. You give everyone a bad attitude and bark demands. So you get nasty responses.
There's 100 threads around here for people asking the same kind of thing you are. (So for one...search before asking) Those threads are usually from people asking nicely, and you'll see that there's a large number of people happily willing to help. Since lots of people want to help others, but no one wants to help you, consider that your approach may be the problem.
And my post is being 100% sincere and helpful. It's probably the best advice you can get on XDA because I'm giving you the key to getting more help on future problems instead of being ignored and chastised again. Take this advice seriously and you'll get a lot more assistance in the future. Don't take this advice and your next question will irritate everyone again and you'll get a lot of grief again.

Ok
I don't recall making any demands. Not sure where that came from. I was frustrated and in urgent need of the instructions but I never demanded anything. And I thanked the only person who did help. I mean what the heck I was getting mad that the WiFi calling kept cutting out and no patch would fix it. And I was using the hell outta my minutes. For some reason WiFi calling wouldn't work with any rom I tried. Yeah I want ics on my phone but it just ain't workin. And yes I superwiped and all that kinda stuff. Hell I love the color and and animations and tweaks but man keep it real functionality trumps colors. I'm trying these kitchens myself and I'm working on my own ics tmous rom. Apparently there are no US sensation devs so we're on our own here.
And this is what I found on the arhd page about WiFi calliing

You have to keep in mind that WiFi Calling on this or any other ICS ROM is sketchy at best. Some have reported good success with it but most have problems with consistency and some simply can't get it to work.
Until T-Mobile releases an update WiFi Calling will be unreliable. As it is the included WiFi Calling is merely an add-on and not meant specifically for this base release.
If you truly need WiFi calling it's best you stick to a stock ROM or perhaps a Gingerbread build with proven reliability.

Which ICS ROM for my mother's Daily Driver?

Alright so my mother has the G2x. I decided to messed around with it the other day and discovered that the stock GB ROM is a train wreck. I mean it's slow, laggy, buggy and quite frankly I'm not sure it does this phone justice considering the specs on it. She agreed to let me upgrade her phone to ICS after seeing how good my MT4GS was with it. But I'm looking for the most stable version of this for her phone. She's not a big game player, and she really only uses the GPS, camera, email, and facebook. Plus a couple of cross-training apps which I'm sure will port over fine.
That being said, which ROM can you guys recommend to me? Should I keep the stock GB, root to a GB ROM (if so, which one is best suited for her needs), or should I make the leap to ICS (if so which rom)? Thanks in advance!

Maybe you should check out one of the 500 threads abt this very topic.

Do any of the threads address the criteria for my mother's phone? Are they up to date? If so, how about helping out by pointing me in the direction of the 500 threads that are relevant on the topic? Or otherwise, state your opinion (which is what I initially asked for)

I have read some pretty good things about the AOKP Builds on other forums, not to mention having had some solid experiences myself with their stuff. Anything you found tricky or otherwise potentially annoying?
Thanks for the tip, regardless!

You need to keep in mind these things before getting an ICS rom. As of now, none of the ICS rom has proper video recording working. You can only record low resolution video with videocam illusion. Video playback on netflix also does not work. If you don't mind these things, ICS roms are pretty stable. IMO, AOKP and Owain's ICS ROMs are pretty good. If you want stable and fast GB roms, try hellfire phoenix 2.1. They are all in dev thread.

What criteria? There's no reason why GPS, Facebook, Camera and Email wouldn't be working on any ROM. Perhaps the best thing to do is head over to the development section and clicking on any rom; read the list of features and you'll know what works and what doesn't work. Pretty much any ROM that isn't experimental is stable.
Now if you want my opinion on it, I'd suggest you to go with Hellfire for both GB and ICS.

if you bother to read any of the comments, you can find out how stable they are based on the experience of others.
Basically this is an undercover "what's the best ROM" thread, something that has been asked over and over.

And ics is more borked then any other rom so I say don't use one of those

Given the quantity of ROMs, it'd be a lot easier to just get some opinions from a few people rather than scroll through 1,000 posts to find out which one is the most stable for her needs. The criteria stands, as I did not know that video recording didn't work. And considering that plenty of ROMs don't have stable MMS, wonky GPS, etc, they're relevant to ask.
I appreciate your opinion and input, thanks for it. But I didn't really need a lecture on how to look things up. If this thread causes you that much trouble, then just ignore it and I'm sure your day will be fine. Chances are good it won't affect you in any way. There are likely other people who have no problem giving their opinions on the topic.

Agreed. Not that I don't use ICS, and not that I don't have ICS on my wife's phone, but if I were to put a rom on someone's phone that I don't have 24hr access to for updates, etc., it would be GB.

Well that's just how it is sometimes. You gotta actually work to find the answer to something.
It's nice we have such generous members like mt3g, MWBehr, dw9906 and zechizen, however, who are more than willing to give their input.
P.S. There's a search button to keep you from having to scroll through 1000's of posts. Ridiculous how you don't know that video recording doesn't work on ICS since there's a new post every few hours talking about LG and Nvidia not giving out drivers for the G2x.

Ya especially, if you aren't around to help out if something does go wrong. And artisan (I think is his name) is right there are two main threads that are just a couple scrolls down in GA section and Q&A that address which roms are being ran and one that address most stable.
p.s. owains ICS with Harsh latest kernel is best IMO ;-)
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

agree ^ i like fauxs kernel tho since you can overclock and under clock but for a daily driver and not caring aboout chaging the voltage harshs kernel would work just fine

Only reason I say harsh's kernel is cause I never lose wifi connection like I do on all others, well I haven't tried faux with owains latest but why fix what isn't broken.

No need to get feisty. And it seems like you already know some of the down falls of some of the ROMs. Really you should search though. But that is neither here nor there. I say you skip ICS for now. I'm sure a lot of them will cause some headaches for your mum. I say you go with HellfirePheonix 2.1 personally.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA

The current hacky state of ICS is not up to the task you are asking it to do here.
It's a reasonable question, sorry we seem to have more than our share of guys with their period at the moment.

Use cm7.2 rc and faux kernel.

Thanks a bunch for the input everyone. Decided to go with Owain's with harsh kernel, sounds pretty ballin' to me. And considering my mom gave me free reign to **** around with it, I'm all in with ICS

If she uses video camera I would go with one of the GB ROMs here, they don't have any of that stock LG crap holding it back.

Liquid Desensed 36 Discussion Thread

I've been trying to follow the liquid densensed 36 thread over in android development but there is quite a bit of info there to digest. I am very grateful to jester for all the work he put into this rom so I don't want to write anything in the thread that could be construed as disrespectful to his work....so I decided to post this thread in general tbolt.
Could someone post what does NOT work in this rom?
If there is a fix for it could you post that too?
I realize most if not all flaws are due to the original leak having bugs so I'm not knocking anybody - just the opposite....but whatever the reason could you post the bugs here? That way users can make an informed choice about whether to flash. I know the prevailing sentiment is just nandroid then try it but some of us really like to know up front.
Thanks for participating....and triple thanks to jester for all his work!

Jesters version is the only one I could get to boot at all. All of the others fc my phone to death. I've ran it since he posted it and I haven't had any issues with it all. The worst thing about it is the battery life and the lag. Other than that its not to shabby.

As far as I can tell. The only thing I haven't tested is Bluetooth.

Likewise I've tried everything but Bluetooth.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Bluetooth doesn't work. It reboots the phone. I've also had problems with WiFi tethering. It's a very solid ROM though. But as you've said the problems from the original leak still exist. Mostly the poor battery life bothers people.
But I'm sure jester is working on this thing. Dude is a beast.

Ah. Bluetooth is sometimg I do need. That helps.
Thanks!

Bluetooth works with the .19 radio... I have no WiFi tethering and when you plug into the computer its a pita to get it to hook up as disk drive. Other then that it all works pretty darn well.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Hi,
Just want to clear up some things.
I experienced the problem with bluetooth rebooting the phone and through testing if you install the .19 radio, then the rebooting stops. Since I did this no more reboots. Also I use the bluetooth and it does work correctly and pairs quickly also.
I will also mention that when I installed the new leak that came out a few days ago that it would cause random reboots but with the radio I mentioned no reboot at all.
As to the lag and battery life I also was surprised how bad each was until..... Yes there is a fix....
There is a script that you run and then reboot the phone and since then lag is reduced drastically and battery life is much better than before of course it's as good as you will get till we get custom kernels (shout out to imoseyon!).
I hope this helps you out if so hit thanks....
Thanks,
Bryan

IMO may not make a kernel for us. We will see when source drops for the kernel.

Bryan, let me say again at risk of repeating my op. I am VERY GRATEFUL to Jester and give him props galore for all the development he has been doing here. I don't think any developer has contributed as much to tbolt users for a long, long time.
This thread is merely meant to clarify what works, what doesn't work, and any potential fixes. His thread has grown so long and so many issues have been discussed it is hard to filter out the most critical info. I hope this thread helps with that.

Hi,
Sorry that line about spjester was not directed at you sorry about that.
I do appreciate this thread. I was just mentioning him since I just feel he hasn't gotten enough recognition.
I edited the post.
Again sorry for the confusion.
I hope the post did help you though.
Thanks,

Oh ya, your post was great and I thanked you right away. I just wanted to be sure everyone knew this wasn't a trash em thread....just the opposite!

I assume you are referring to the kernelizer? Ive been searching for the specifics for this but only know that I need to downgrade busybox and then run the script. What script should I run? Thanks for the help!

Bluetooth works pairing with my lg soundbar
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app

There's actually an even more recent radio. Its here in the development section of the tbolt forms. I think the thread is called "ics combo radio." One radio was fixing Bluetooth but giving people wifi issues and another radio was fixing wifi but giving reboots with bt. This radio is the .19 cdma radio, along with the leaked ICS radio for lte. I'm on it now and it fixed my data issue. With every other radio I tried, I had to toggle off/on data whenever I switched from 3g to 4g. I also had a couple revolts here and there. Fingers crossed, but so far so good with the "combo radio."

I was running kernel 1.4 for some reason. Flashing this rom brought back my gps and I haven't had any data drop so far. Liquid ftw.

This from is the best one based on the leak. I still get data drops. So maybe I'll try the combo radio. People have been saying that it fixes their data drops.
