[Q] Question for devs - T-Mobile LG G2x

Is there any way to mix the goods from all of the ROM's into one killer rom.
For example:
Miui lockscreen and web browser
Eagles Blood GPS
G2Extreme's ability to maintain good data on different APN's (SimpleMobile in my case).
CM7 stability
Just a wish list for the ultimate ROM which I don't have a clue to build

WeaponG2x?

Have tried WeaponG2x. Always looses my APN which in turn causes me to loose comm.
I also have issues with when I hit the back button while online. It doesn't always go back with the first button press. Which is why I really like the Miui browser.

That is a big wish list
All I want is for AD2P to work on cm7 roms. LOL
I'm giving on hope that it will ever happen.

Come.on Maciek....of your gonna wish then wish BIG lol

Lol I would love this ROM too.
Weapon 2.6 has the MIUI lockscreen
So far data isn't an issue with me on weapon, but I noticed that when sending mms the data turns off/on sporadically for 5 minutes before sending the message which can get frustrating sometimes.
But I do miss the MIUI themes, browser, and "hold back button to close" (since I closed every app that I was done with this way).

[10-19] [ROM] [WIP] Isaacj87's MIUI+CWM for triumph =D

we all owe a hell of a thanks to Isaacj87 for getting miui over to the triumph.
i take no credit for [email protected]#$%^&*() i am just posting this link so people who dont go to android forums can find this!
to flash this you will also need issacj87's CWM custom made for the triumph.
here you go guys and again be sure to thank isaacj87 for all his hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damages (bricking/phone ruining) occurred while flashing or using this ROM. By using this ROM, you understand that that I am not liable for any or all consequences of using this ROM. If you don't know what you're doing, DON'T TRY IT. Use at your own risk!
SPECIAL NOTE: These builds are not being built from source (only partially). This port is technically a port of a port of a port (DHD-CN --> DHD-EN --> MI410 --> Triumph). I can only account for the changes I made personally. There are no records on what was changed up to this point from elsewhere. This is something to consider.
Also, since I don't have the source for this ROM, it's being worked on with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. If I can manage to fix something, it'll get fix. Since it was originally in Chinese, some of the language translations will be strange. I'm using code from CM7, building said code, and cramming it into MIUI. Since MIUI and CM7 share a lot of the same code, this has been working fine so far. But remember: I can't stress how much I don't want complaints and bug reports. I'm doing this for my own amusement and I'm just sharing what I've got.
I'd like to put up the the changes I've made to this ROM, but, basically, it would be useless. I used whatever tools I could find to decompile the various aspects and apply changes, but I wasn't able to save any of the decompiled stuff in any readable form. However, the changes to kernel I made will always be available. You can view those changes on my Github: http://github.com/ikarosdev
Overall, everything has been working quite well and I hope your happy with the results.
What works:
BOLD=NEW
RIL/3G/1xRTT
Audio/Call recording
WIFI
USB Tethering
Bluetooh
Keymapping
2D/3D/EGL/GPU
LED (dual-mode)
Capacitive button lights
Screen rotate/orientation
Touchscreen with multitouch/screen rotate capable
USB mounting
CRT screen off animation
Proximity sensor
Camera (front and rear) [see next section below]
GPS
HD 720P video recording/FFC video recording
MMS [see next section below]
Torch
Google Talk with video/voice chat
Wired headse
What partially works:
Camera (FFC output during video calling and snapshots is not mirrored.)
MMS (I can send, but not receive. Always comes back complaining about something.)
What doesn't work:
Ambient light sensors
WIFI hotspot (DON'T ASK, WON'T FIX)
720p video recording (Doesn't work in MIUI camera app. I've heard reports this works with a 3rd-party app)
HDMI out/mirroring (I don't have any way of testing this. Maybe it does work.
Known issues:
These builds, as mentioned, are not being built from source. As such, measures were taken to get everything working. Don't be surprised if you get a FC or eleven. Furthermore, these are development builds (a.k.a not stable). Some of you may be able to live with it, some won't.
Being similar to CM7 (at the core), the proximity sensor goes wonky during phone calls.
Recovery:
I also have my own CWM port for the Triumph. Since I got everything working, it's been running like a champ. I've themed it a bit to make it unique, but it's still Clockwork recovery at its core. I've currently put this up (minus the custom colors and graphics) for review to be included in ROM Manager. You can watch its progress here: http://github.com/koush/ROMManagerManifest/issues/311
The keymapping in my recovery is:
- Volume up/down to navigate
- Menu to select
- Back to go backwards
Downloads:
Recovery:
NOTE: tjstyle's recovery (4.0.0.9) will not work. You have to use a recovery for the Triumph.
NOTE: You must use a recovery with EXT4 capabilities. The one below should be just fine. If you're already using a recovery with such features, you don't have to change it.
ROM
NEWhttp://www.mediafire.com/?0m5rm6l5sl6samc

OLDhttp://www.mediafire.com/?0h8uph17x1w30e8
**Instructions on how to install isaacj87's CWM**
1. download the recover img listed above
2. unzip the file using winrar or any other unzipping program
3.turn your triumph all the way off
4. unplug the usb cable for your triumph
5. hold the volume down+power button on your MT
6. the screen should come up as black with small white text in the top right hand corner. the text will keep repeating but dont worry this is normal.
7. plug the usb cable into your MT and computer and let the drivers install.
8. once they are finished installing, go to computer and you should see a new device called mobile. click on it then click on the image folder.
9. there you will see the recovery.img file. take this and make a back up of it on your desktop or in a safe place where you wont lose it.
10. next drag issacj87's recovery.img to the folder and copy and replace the current recovery.img. once this is finished you can eject your MT and the only way to get it out of bootloader mode is to do a battery pull.
11. after the phone is off hold both volume keys and also the power button and it will boot into isaacj87's cwm 4.0.1.5 recovery =)
12. from there do a full wipe of the system and D cache and user data and then you can flash MIUI!!!!!
Enjoy!!!!!!!
THANK YOU AGAIN ISACCJ87!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MMS is my least favorite smartphone feature by far... try GO SMS (it comes with built-in uploading) or just use URLy to put files online. Since we all know how lousy Virgin Mobile's MMS system is already.
I kind of use it for work. Need to be able to send and receive. Its easiest to send to a phone number for some customers

Anyone else have data problems with miui? Its super solid with the exception that my data drops constantly.
Sent from my Motorola Triumph using xda premium
i use juice defender. it cuts off data when the screen is off and restarts it when you turn the screen back on. thus resetting your 3g every time. not an actual "fix" but it makes the rom that much more usable
MMS has been fixed. I've been sending and receiving all day today. Clean pics, I might add.
I've also went ahead and bumped us up to 1.10.14. It will be released soon.
I've been investigating some fixes for the data drop issue. I think I may have found something that might work. I'm going to try it first in CM7 and if it works, it should be applicable to MIUI as well.
Happy MIUI-ing guys.
P.S. I would make an "official" thread here, but it seems most Triumph users frequent Android Forums. I'll make an effort to keep an eye out here as well.

I found something that might fix this problem (i.e. a real solution). Tickerguy also worked on a solution that seems to be working. He's going to test it for a couple days to confirm, but so far it looks good.
Once he shares his fix, I'll try and "code" (smali) it into MIUI.
i cant wait for this next update.

[Q] Serendipity 7 issues

I'm having a couple of issues with this rom. 1st is the email apk I installed from the web site is when I get new emails (exchange) they apear in the notifacation bar like normal but they just keep counting new ones in the bar everytime, I'm up to like 90 something in a day.
2nd is the video camera, when I select limits for mms and start videoing the screen will go black and say the camera application has failed. Any ideas?

have you tried to flash again. in my experiance sometimes just flashing is easier than trying to find the fix THEN apply it. may mess other stuff if you dont know what your doing. if a Re-Flash does not work then you will have to go this rout and find out why its not working. i had that email thing happen.....it actually took me a lil digging to find an email APK that wasnt giving me some sort of issues.
Yes I have tried to reflash twice with the same result with the email problem and video camera problem as well.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
well then if the camera works on other roms. i will just pull the camera files from there and paste them into the appropriate places and see if that helps the FC's
but thats not as easy as just picking another Rom.

S7 doesn't have the 30fps fix if thats is the video problem you are refering to.
Friends don't let friends flash and drive.
I'm having an issue with texts and calls not turning the screen on. On any other rom, when I get a text, the screen lights up to show the lockscreen for a few seconds. Doesn't seem to be doing that on S7; is there a setting for that? Also, calls will ring/vibrate for several seconds before the screen turns on to allow me to answer.
I wanted to try S7 but I do not want to lose functionality of my front camera.

sounds pretty simple, skunk.
you flash S7. If you lose the cam, the flash something else.

ICS Rom's are still very young, but some are starting to inclue the cyanogenmod settings menu which will allow you to change your lockscreen short cuts. Give it some time...
so you say the best thing to do is to keep with what i have till they get the nuts out

If they update the ROM I would update as well. It's not going to get worse, only better.
I just don't want to lose the new menu thing where your messages and email and app draw phone and cam.

OTA 3.32.401.5 bug list (HTC Sensation only - NO XE please)

Hi all, I decided to start this thread and help devs (and HTC) to fix some bugs that I noticed on stock 3.32.401.5...
(and don't give me "why don't you root it" advice since this is my bussiness phone so that is not an option)...
This is my list that I noticed within few days of use, feel free to list yours..
1. Missed calls are no longer registered in notification bar, notification pull-down menu or LED (EDIT: there is an option for this and it was turned off so it is not a bug)
2. stock browser sometimes opens random page from history (instead home)
3. when entering system settings (for random option), phone goes to lockscreen instead pressed option (happens randomly)
3. battery life seems to be better on Gingerbread than ICS (this is my subjective opinion, please confirm)
4. video and picture quality seems to be better on Gingerbread than on ICS (although I like new Scenes options )
5. People app links contacts with Facebook by default
6. HTC sense app is approved by Facebook without promting user
7. Although all contacts (in People app) are delinked with Facebook, some contacts in messaging app (SMS) are still linked (very annoying, now i have two different names for same person, one in messaging app and other in People app)
8. searching through contacts displays contacts from Facebook and people app (although it is not linked with FB, FB sync is off - HTC, I DON'T WANT MY PHONE TO BE RAPED BY FB, THERE IS AN APP FOR THAT)
9. Power saver options are missing
10. GPS and WiFi switch are gone from quick settings (in notification pull-down menu)...
11. UI design elements are not consistent (mixture of sense and vanilla ICS)
That it for now (if I missing an option, and mixed it for a bug, please tell me )...
Overall ICS is MUCH better than GB (especially for disable app options, which gave me extra 100mb of free RAM), just needs to be polished a bit...
Edit: it seems that i managed to get rid of fb contacts by removing fb account and signing in again and clicking dont sync (although i did choose not to sync before, but that didnt work first time)
1080p landscape playback = lower framerate than gb

SMS UI Flick
when open sms viewer on any people, window fast flick every time when page want open, it on stock rom and custom roms
example: click sms icon -> click on any people -. you get very fast open = flick/
need change open animation or remove open animation
Others bugs
Hi,
I've found a bugs :
- Can't set a custom wallpaper in lockscreen
- Random sound issue : only music app, call sound, ringtones and notifications work. Must be restarted to solve this issue for a moment...
- Random vibrates (ghost vibrations) in my pocket
- Exchange mails : The parameter of the message size and number of message will default back after a moment ....
- The weather widgets don't refresh after unlock...
- Sense launcher not locked in memory
- Browser opening the last page all the time...
(sorry for my bad english...)

Mobile and wireless connections are turning on without user input.
Data connection is being established even if it was explicitly forbidden during initial setup. Hard reset, even wipe does nothing. I've seen this on multiple vanilla devices (S-ON, no root, never tampered with).
If you don't have good data plan or if you are using prepaid cards, DO NOT upgrade to ICS.

If that had worked, would I've bothered to ask? Obviously not. Data connection turns on spontaneously, bypassing any and all settings. Those phones had mobile connections turned off by default.
Thanks for the tip about that fix though, I will look into that.

Maybe I should have been a bit clearer. By turn it off I meant in every boot go to settings and turn it off. Annoying yes but your suggestion of "Don't upgrade to ICS is not on decent data plan" was and is a bit extreme.
There are other fixes as well like using juice defender to manage mobile data (I'm sure there are others too but I use JD)

I already had it off and keep turning it off, that is the crux of the issue. Whatever HTC messed up, it completely rendered mobile data connection control useless. I have seen the system-wide use data toggle button turn itself on just after I disabled it. As I understand it, that shouldn't be possible. It's as if some process is overriding user settings at whim.
And that keeps happening, even with juice defender.
I am hoping that this will make situation a bit clearer.
my SD card is being unmount very often!
And it seems that my battery drain was caused by 3rd party apps (astro being n1, folowed by some useless apps)...
17hrs and 45 % battery to go (moderate usage)
Lost SMS messages
After u/g I have lost all my SMS messages from history - ok, not all as a single thread from my daughter shows up with perhaps 50 messages.
I have restored from previous backup and it shows successful restore of 600+ messages, but I can't see them - also the folder option has disappeared?

How do I get "do not disturb" in quick settings?

I remember shortly after getting my Nexus 5 that I noticed a hand icon in quick settings for do not disturb setting..
I went to use it the other day and it had disappeared. I had unlocked and rooted and also flashing custom kernel.
So as I couldn't find any setting to re enable, and suspecting it might have been something I had done, I downloaded Google nexus 5 image and reflashed to stock, but still no joy .
Any advice ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I don't remember seeing anything like this, as I recall. But I am disappointed that the Quick Settings are not really all that quick. Tapping things like Bluetooth or Wifi takes you to the full settings page for that feature instead of simply toggling it on and off as I usually am trying to do.

If you hold the icon instead of clicking it, it turns on the radio. For example, pressing WiFi takes you to the WiFi settings page, but long holding the icon will just turn it on. Same for BT.
As for the Do not Disturb, I've never seen that. I know iOS has it...and I'm sure there are Google Play apps to do something similar, but Android doesnt have that stock.
Sadly it doesn't exist in stock android. They really have to add that. Every other platform has it except stock android.
EDIT: Yes, I know touchwiz and sense have it.

Thanks. It makes me wonder though how the "average" person is ever supposed to learn little things like this -- certainly not intuitive IMO.
Mystery solved, just realised that I had switched back to my HTC One with a leaked version of sense 5.5
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I found that you can press the power button and from that menu you can set the volume to vibrate or mute. Not sure if this is what you were looking for.
Thankfully custom ROMs will be here soon (in more complete/stable forms) to make all of these annoying issues better. Stock Android lacks some seriously useful little touches, but that's why we got unlocked devices....
