I, personally, loved the MIUI & CyanogenMod but they, in my opinion, have their downfalls.
MIUI: No app drawer, I like having just 1 page on the homescreen & all the excess apps/games in the drawer, but its layout (customization options (lockscreen/homescreen wallpaper, themed messaging app), bootlogo, etc.) is great but, the worst part was the simple fact that it would be fine over night, then the next day it started booting out the wifi, phone or even put my phone into airplane mode which I could not get out of no matter how many reboots or battery pulls I did.
CyanogenMod: No texting or phone calls at all, it has been awhile since I used it but it either could send & not receive texts/calls or vice-versa, either way just like w/ MIUI, its awesome in every other aspect.
I was just wondering if there are any other custom ROMs for the Samsung Mesmerize SCH-i500, in particular, that are similar to those two, themed and/or fully customizable options, I can't think of the words I'm looking for, I guess a standalone custom ROM that is FULLY STABLE (calls, texts, wifi, bluetooth, no AUTOMATIC airplane mode, etc. I mean EVERYTHING FULLY WORKING) for my, above mentioned, phone, does not have to be debloated/dexed/deodexed, either way.
i am running miui 1.12.9 with glitch kernel v13.1 EH09 radio
for what i use it all works. sms, bt, mms (wifi off), phone, alarm clock, etc..
miui control panel for the app drawer feature. maybe if you had an older version you might want to check out this newer one.
but as for other roms i have not tried any, if i get bored i might try something else but not until i read up on it so i know what im getting into.

I was using MIUI.us_mesmerizemtd_1.12.9_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_dfgas-911fix and it was about 2:30 in the morning when I finally fully restored to stock rooted 2.3.4 Gingerbread, wiped data, cache partition dalvik cache and finally rebooted after installing MIUI, I finally went to sleep at 5 in the morning after setting it all up.
I awoke at about noon & it was still running fine but I ran busybox installer so I could update the su binary & had to reboot, this was roughly between 3 - 3:30 in the afternoon &, after reboot, it just started f***ing up.
Absolutely no phone signal at all, I tried the phone activation code but it was never activated, wifi, even right next to the router, was not detected, tried a few reboots but nothing, it kept saying it was in airplane mode, when I opened the notification bar, deactivated airplane mode, it never turned back on again but only in the notification bar, in the settings menu, after turning it off & exiting the menu or going to another menu, regardless if it was from within the settings menu or not it automatically switched back on when I returned back to it, I don't know, if I can get it to work, I can live without the app drawer, its just that good to me.
I even tried the MIUI360P_ENHv3.1_universal_s enhancer thing but that just mad it so that, I forgot exactly what it was called, something about com.android.phone. (something) process kept having to be force closed but every time I pressed force close within 2 or 3 seconds it did it again & it kept repeating this over & over again, I had to pull the battery just to get out of it, but by what I saw in the forums after I tried it, its actually meant for Samsung Galaxy S II I9000, whereas I have the Samsung Galaxy S I i500, I kind of rushed into it in the hopes that it would fix the issues.

Hello there everyone. I've had my HTC Sensation since September and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience, with only one abnormal reset. However, in the past two days, some weird stuff has happened.
Every once in a while, I see the stock lockscreen flicker over my current screen (Even in an app). It is currently disabled by WidgetLocker as well.
The first day I had installed SweeterHome 2, StatusBar +, and also the application Faster Drawer. The first reset happened as I went to open Faster Drawer (Not for the first time, however). It then rebooted, but things seemed to work fine. Also, the app Profile Scheduler was no longer able to change the screen brightness when I clicked on a profile, just the other settings. I had to go into Android settings to do it manually. (There I found the slider down to 0 as I wanted it, and when I touched it, the screen brightness lowered to where it was supposed to be)
The second reset happened today and was even weirder. I was looking through my Minimal Reader widget when I was interrupted by the white and green HTC boot logo, and the phone took a few minutes to reset. When it came to, all of my widgets were gone, and replaced by "Tap to restore" squares (On both WidgetLocker and SweeterHome 2)
I really have no clue what is going on, though I am very disappointed by the reboots, especially for losing the widgets (Basically my entire homescreen was made of them, it will take a long time to restore). The only thing I messed with was the Accessibility applications; I had to check the one for StatusBar + and I clicked the one for WidgetSoid Notifications, but then disabled it. (Which by the way, the WidgetSoid notification toggles no longer work until I use the system toggle for data, then I can start using them)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a stock, unrooted HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile, running 2.3.4, and it had that firmware update by T-Mobile a few months ago.

the most ugly thing is i saw it with another sensation user in my famely to before i bought my phone. it got sended away by warrenty got back prob solved but more arised it began also after couple months. mine started doing it i rooted/s-off mine and started testing roms wich one feld like i wanted to use. because of quick changing i cound watch that after an rom from here the prob got solved so here are my suggestions:
1 send it and maybe get a worse phone back(telling from experience)
2 root/s-off test some roms and away goes problem
The issue just became worse. This time, without a reset, my WidgetLocker widgets were lost again, and replaced by the "Tap to restore" dialog. I was playing music at the time with the screen off (no other apps running), and it was not interrupted. When I went to unlock the phone, they were gone.
Any thoughts? This seems like a pretty serious issue to me. I'd like to stay stock since I don't have the money to replace the phone if something were to go wrong.
Try removin the apps and see if that helps,you seem to have alot on there that removes or modifies functionality
Push notifications while phone is sleeping - are these commonly disabled by default in custom roms as a battery saving feature? I've tried Embryo 5.1, Majick-Wizz R3, and CM10 Alpha (all using the recommended kernels/radios, flashing using CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 v12.5), all seem to have the same "issue" where I don't get push notifications from things like Gmail or third party apps while the phone is sleeping. As soon as I wake the phone, the notifications come in.
I couldn't really find anyone on this forum or anywhere else on this issue, except for cases with the HTC Evo, which leads me to believe it's common knowledge whatever is causing this or how to fix it, but I'm new here and this is escaping me completely...
Thanks for any help!
I get push notifications for my email account all the time, and when I've tested other apps (Facebook, Twitter, news apps, etc.) they've always worked there as well. This is on several ROMs, including MW (all three releases), SkyICS 4.2F6 and CM9.
Are you restoring system data from Tibu, by chance? That's all I can think of from a practical perspective that would carry the problem across ROMs, but I'm not a dev and can't begin to guess at any potentially more difficult solutions.
I actually don't restore any data from anywhere except Google auto settings backup. These are all fresh installs.
Edit to add: the notifications seem to work until the screen has been off for 10+ minutes. Also they worked on stock rom.
Edit2: Looks like it may have to do with the WiFi. Made sure the WiFi policy was set to remain connected while sleeping, but that setting doesn't appear to be working. Disabled WiFi and let phone sleep for 10 mins and sent emails to test, and notifications worked.
Edit3: Tried disabling/enabling the WiFi sleep settings in various ways to see if a setting was stuck somewhere, to no avail... Flashed InstigatorX 6.3.4, no dice. It's definitely the WiFi going to sleep though. Confirmed that if WiFi is turned off, all works well. Also, upon waking the phone, it takes a few seconds for network connectivity to start working again (if WiFi is enabled). How do I get this setting to stick?!
Update: Ok, so I just reflashed with all of the Google backup stuff turned off, and tested, still not working.
I'm really running out of ideas here. It's not that I'm unwilling to try something, I just literally can't think of anything else to try...
EDIT: So I just downloaded an app for which the purpose is to keep WiFi awake at all times, and it happens that the app also checks your WiFi sleep policy setting for you. In my case, it told me that i had WiFi set to disable when the phone is sleeping (despite that not being the case). I suppose this fully confirms that the issue is the setting isn't sticking. I let the app change that setting for me then uninstalled the app, going to test throughout the day tomorrow. In the meantime, is there a relatively harmless way to manually check whatever configuration file holds this policy setting?
So I'm on Liquid pre-RC based on Cm10 now and it seems to be working intermittently. The only way I can get it working consistently so far is installing an app built for this purpose. Am I really the only one experiencing this issue with custom roms?

I don't really have an answer for you, but I can at least tell you that you're not crazy. I have definitely noticed this happen where I will wake up my phone and instantly be hit with email notifications. However, it didn't happen every time like that. And to be honest, I think my push Gmail worked fine; it was my pull email that would do it to me. That was on CM9. I don't think I've noticed it happen since I've been on MW.

I've got a Samsung Infuse 4G, originally Rogers now on Telus. It's been running ParanoidAndroid 2.53 from scott.hart.bti (build pa_infuse4g-userdebug 4.1.2 JO54K eng.scott.20121104.152548 test-keys) nearly flawlessly for a few weeks. I've installed a few apps (facebook, twitter, wikipedia, imdb, accuweather, etc.) but none recently.
Today, I answered a phone call from my brother, and when I took the phone away from my ear to hang up, it stayed black. I heard the disconnect sound, then it pretty much froze. I powered off to the Power Reset / Debug Mode screen, then rebooted. When it came back on, I'd lost a bunch of my settings, but not all. I currently have been unable to get back my full menu when I long-press the power button - it only has power off and reboot, no airplane mode, no volume, no profile choice (yes, I have configured these options in the settings). Further, my notifications work (ie, sound and vibrate), but the notification icon does not appear.
Anyone have any ideas what I should try? I could reflash and start over, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone comment on whether or not this make be a problem with Trebuchet? Are the problems I mentioned the domain of the launcher, or is it something else? If these things are controlled by the launcher, am I able to reinstall / reset it to possibly fix the problem?
It sounds more like a SystemUI problem than a launcher problem. You can reflash the ROM without losing any data or settings by formatting just the cache partition and /system and also clearing dalvik cache. That will reinstall the ROM without data loss but if the problem persists I recommend a full and complete wipe and reflash.
If you believe it to be a trebucket problem though then download a free launcher replacement like Holo launcher from the store and see if that fixes your problems.

I updated my AT&T HOX last evening and I've already stumbled upon some bugs:
1. The wall charger and USB cables I used with ICS no longer charge my phone. I left my phone charged the whole night and it went up from 14% to 30%...
2. There is no way to remove debugging mode when connecting the device to the PC.
3. The taskbar time is delayed. When I woke up (incidentally as you will see in section 4) it was 5:59AM. My hand watch said 7:20...
4. The alarm clock never went off! luckily my biological clock was running on time. It might have to do with the fact that Tasker, which I have running silent mode until 7:00AM then back to normal mode after that, takes its time from the taskbar (5:59). This is a pretty fundamental and basic phone function.
5. There is a new icon on my notifications bar. I have no idea what it does...
I have a screenshot attached for section 3,4,5 .
Anybody have this sort of behavior on their device too?
I'm not on the AT&T 3.18 OTA, but I've been on a couple different 3.17 base custom and stock-rooted ROMs, and haven't noticed any of these problems.
If you updated by OTA (which your probably did) consider backing up your personal data, and doing a factory reset. Many (although not all) random bugs can be traced back to incompatibilities of existing apps and settings with the OTA, that a factory reset and starting fresh will resolve. Updating with keeping user data (although convenient) is really a messy way to do it. A fresh slate gets the best results.
The new icon is for NFC. You can just go into Settings and turn of NFC. No idea why they have it "on" by default on the OTA. Might have to do with AT&T's Isis plans.
I've got an odd problem with my p900. If I install any lollipop ASOP ROMs, the first time I reboot after initial install, the display mostly stops working. The first boot works fine, I go through the setup wizard, set everything up, and the tablet works and displays fine as long as I don't reboot.
Specifically, what will happen if I reboot is that the tablet will go through the normal boot, and get to the point when the wallpaper and status bar will come up, but no homescreen icons or anything. Then after a while, about 2-5 minutes, the display will go black except for the status bar. I can pull down the notifications drawer from the status bar, and it will display, as will the quick settings, but anything I tap to try to interact with will seemingly just do nothing. If I have 'show touches' on, then touches will display properly, anywhere on the screen, but they seem to do nothing. I've tried trebuchet, google now, and adwex, the home app doesn't seem to make a difference.
The problem first began in I want to say october, when I flashed a CM12 nightly update. I unfortunately no longer remember which nightly I was on nor which I flashed to. I of course immedately tried to flash back to the previous nightly when I discovered the problem, but it did no good. It took me a while to figure out the pattern to the problem after it first occurred, as I often don't reboot the device for a long while after a first install. I don't have a lot of spare time to devote to sitting down and just focusing on trying different things, so it wasn't until president's day weekend that I tried what I *thought* would fix it, ODINing back to stock and installing the latest CM12.1. Clearly that didn't work, or I wouldn't be posting.
I've tried the 20151104, 1029, 1006, and 0910 CM12.1s from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nt/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-5-0-1-t2971945. I've also tried Civz lollipop, pacman, and resurection remix. Anything not stock based has the problem. I tried running stock, but I've been running CM since G1 days, and I just can't stand stock, even the stripped down and modded versions. It just doesn't work right, and I can't get used to it, even after forcing myself to use it for several days.
I've never encountered such a weird problem, and I can't seem to find anyone else having a similar problem. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this beyond what I've done already. I'm currently running thompatry's Cm12.1 20160212, having not rebooted after the initial install, and it's running mostly ok, but I live in dread of my battery dying, and of course I can't install any xposed modules like xprivacy or multiwindow, which is bothersome. I have the wifi only US model, v1awifi, and I'm currently running TWRP 3, tho I was on TWRP 2.8.something when the issues first started happening.
what's the last 3 characters of your bootloader version?

Have you tried changing kernel? I mean in the case of civz lollipop rom you do get an option of 2 different kernels try choosing the opposite to the one you had chosen before. Thank you, hope it helps.
I won a year ago 2 Note Pro, one works flawlessly while the other is slow af and it has the same issue that you speak about. If I stay on stock everything is good more or less (sometime little slow), but if I install Lineage or any other Custom Rom is too slow and has the same issue you speak.
I changed both batteries, but nothing to do. If anyone knows, text please.
Thank you!
