~ Render FX Not working ( I recommend using chainfire3D app in the market, as it works the same w/ night mode )
~ Youtube Fast Forward is Broken
~ volume+ might have issue.... see this Post
~ Changing CPU Governor can sometimes cause CPU1 from not going Offline
~ NFC not working
~ Build.prop will read as a T989, don't edit or it will cause the audio bug to return!! However, this build has the correct kernel for the I727 & won't have orientation screwed up
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S2 (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager

Yeah, no in call audio for me either.

no incall audio
NFC doesn't work either
cant make google voice default voicemail app
Mic doesn't work in call either.
Any eta to fix these issues?

If somebody has the Time, will they flash the T989 Build, but put the Boot.img from the I727 into the t989 build!
This will tell me if I screwed something up on the I727 build...
Thanks,

With the kernel from the skyrocket build in the t989 build voice call works.
I took the kernel and dropped it into the 989 cm7 build.
I am using la3 modem. Dont have lte service in my aria so cant test LTE NFC wont turn on (Same as with the SR build)
Intresting note. when i replaced the t989 build.prop with the i727's the system would not boot. When I edited the t989 build.prop to show i727 the no in call audio issue came back up.
But just the I727 Boot.img in the T989 cm7 build booted fine and in call audio worked the first flash. after I started messing with the build.prop and reflashing I could not get incall audio to work without rerunning superwipe and reflashing modem then rom.
am trying to restore my cm7 data partition now to see what that does.
Restoring data did not effect in call audio as of yet

Roger 727 users... kernal / radio question

Been using Sean's [ROM] SKY-ICS 4.2F3-7 (UXCLF3 Base) 7/9/12 OFFICIAL ROGERS ICS AT&T/ROGERS SAFE and loving it! Keep up the great work.
Just curious to what other Roger's or other 727 users are running...
Reason being my Bluetooth seems to connect and reconnect in both of my Hyundai 2011 & 2012 vehicles... and when on a call there is a lot of reverb or echo. I'm using UCLF6 radio and SKY ICS MODDED UCLF6 kernel...
Curious...
B.

Bluetooth stack in touchwiz based roms sucks. Apparently its much better aosp, so give cm9 a go

Running CM9 latest stable release stock Kernel with UXLF3 radio using LTE.
Investigator Kernel is running great as well.
battery ...it is wat it is ...
Only main problem for me is the 160 characters limit.

Mohan is working on the BT issue, I've been running mostly his ROM's. Seans are great, but eventually I go to Embryo (mainly he has same car as me so if it works on his then good)
For BT quick fix for you on any rom would be just to flash Mohan's 1.5 Kernel and problems will be gone. Only thing is he alredy has a new one out, but BT is not fixed on it yet.
You can get 1.5 and follow the BT issue discussion in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701189
Don't forget to hit thanks to him, he is very dedicated to find the root and fix the BT problem.

I'm running CM9 Stable release and have not had any issues as of yet.
I connect it to my BlueAnt ST3 and never have issues. I have even connected it to my OBD II Bluetooth module and never have a communication error.
Running stock CM kernel and I727RUXLF3 radio.
Battery gives me 1-1.5 days depending on use.

BT issues are only with Cars and only certain model cars.

sh-t I see!
no,no problem thanks for pointing this out. I meant exectly what u said, I just forget about it as Mohan has it in BIG RED letters in the thread:cyclops:

Thanks for the replies.
A buddy of mine flashed his wife's phone back to GB... issues resolved. So what's stock radio and kernel? Would not replacing those running ICS not resolve the problems?

I'm using my i727r with Mobilicity and happy to report no voice quality issue with bluetooth in vehicle.

Radio trouble
When I flash roms and install a radio, it takes for ever for it to switch to LTE. APN are all set right. I tried all radios from ATT to Rogers.
Only rom that works is ICS ATT stock tar file.

Q&A [ROM][GSM][DEV] [CM10]Unofficial CyanogenMod10 Port for Atrix2(edison)

Figured we got Q&A now lets use it ...... To help keep the Dev section dev related not like 50 post on when wifi will work..... Post related questions here.....

Anybody else having issues with Bluetooth? I can only get it to find a device about 10% of the time and then it won't pair.

Could somebody maybe post some better screenshots of this ROM? Or even a video of it in use on YouTube? I'm interested to see it in action, but not quite ready to run it myself.

So, how much space in /system is taken up in this rendition of CM? I'm excited to see how much more lighweight than stock this can be.

For those of you that have flashed this, I'm a little intimidated by the fact that there is a boot.img in the zip. Will installing this overwrite the bootloader?

Just to let everyone know that most everything is now working, GPS, Home button, BT is fixed, several more APNs added, DATA works.
What is still broken is wifi and video. You can use apps that use their own decoding, but we will fix that after we have wifi fully working.
We are very close on wifi, rdavisct and I have eliminated 90% of the errors we were seeing in dmesg about wifi startup, but we still have 3 or 4 errors that we need to fix before it will work.

No, not yet. We will need to work on that, to make it work for 2nd system. Also it is ONLY flashable using the Atrix 2 Bootstrap utility, no bootmenu or safestrap, as it will not execute the updater script correctly, and somethings don't get installed correctly with bootmenu or safestrap.

Okay I don't want to be sarcastic, or funny, or an a** when I ask this - what benefits does a 4.1 system have with a 4.0 kernel other than ui features and animations?
I presume project butter isn't working?

I think it is. There was not a big change between ICS and JB kernel wise. Google Now should work perfectly too. Also. It's CM. So it's worth the trouble.

Here's the flash requirements ....
How to flash :
- Tested on ATT and Asia verison mb865
- U should flash this rom on an ICS rom(I mean, your kernel should be 3.X, and your stock rom should be ics)
- Install safetrap or bootstrap to flash this rom
- Boot menu manager is not supported ATM!!!!
- Wipe/Reboot & enjoy it
If I recollect Jim pulled the ICS leak. SVC7 requires ICS leak as does the CM10.
Searched and haven't found it. Is it hiding anywhere?

If you are not on at&t you will need to install the leak for your region.
And yes project butter is working just fine with CM10. Since we are on a 3.X kernel everything will work just fine.. the difference between ICS and JB will be small, JB will be more like when we went from 2.2 to 2.3... it changed names, but more like a medium upgrade... LOL

I'm using jb on my kindle fire with the 3.0.3 kernel and it smokes ics as far as usability goes.much smoother transitions, apps open faster etc. benchmarks aren't much different but i do find the user experience to be a major improvement. The fire has the same cpu/gpu as our a2 so I expect similar results.

[Q] 727r rom / kernel / modem combo for WIND

I have a 727r and I want to use it on wind, and have no idea what combo of rom / kernal / modem to use. what I do know:
The 727r radio has the ability to pick up the signal
The wind network uses HSPA+ - transmit on 1700, receive on 2100
There are modem files out there for these frequencies
Things I don't know
How to make sure a rom / kernel / radio will work with each other (hopefully without needing to spend hours flashing n! combinations)
How to figure out if a modem file will support my device, or the frequencies I need
Things I've tried
the 989 from Tmobile runs on HSPA+, so I tried installing a tmobo rom, kernel, and radio with little success.
Trying to install / flash different rom - kernel - modem combos (most of which results in baseband version:unknown - this means the modem and rom are incompatible right?)
What I'm asking
Is there anyone running a 727r on wind that wouldn't mind sharing their rom / kernel / modem combo?
Has anyone found a Cyanogen-kernel-modem combo that works?
I am NOT asking which is the "best". After spending 4 hours of flashing and praying things will work, I don't care if I get the "worst" rom. I just want a combo that works
WORKING(more or less) COMBOS:
R34P3ReX_T989_Skyrocket_Conversion - Juggernaut_50_0218 - Tmo_SGH-T989_KID_radio
Gingerbread base, gyroscope tilts screen wrong way, a bit buggy, but works
CM10, CM10, T989UVLH1
Works well enough, having Call issues though. Going to try a new radio
Cyanogen always gets terrible battery. Going to look for an optimized version but not a problem for me
CM10, Blaze 4G UVLH5
Calling worked, I could hear caller, but they heard a lot of garbled blarky. Not good

u don't need a specific ROM or kernel at all, all u need to do is try different t radios. try the uvle1 from the t989 aka Hercules subsection, and give the modem someone dumped from the i757m bell version to see if u can catch a signal. I strongly believe the later will work

So.. im using the Tmo Radio.. the latests and you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
and as for the ROM i am using Cyanogenmod 10.0 but the T989 version.
works good.. dont forget to wipe everything.. as for the other comment where you just need to flash the radio.. dunno.. i tried that a couple of times and it didnt work.. however.. im about to try it again.. so ill let you know how it goes.. for now though.. just to get it working.. i would do the above..
tip: i initially flashed the UVLH1 radio.. worked great.. great signal.. then i updated the other day to the latest.. and it seems as though my signal is not as strong.. dunno.. but try it out.. you never know..
also.. on initial boot up.. you need to give it a couple of minutes for things to settle.. it should pick up the Wind signal by itself... if it doesnt after 5 mins.. then do a search.. but you shouldnt have a problem..

So.. i can confirm that you CAN install the TMO radio and the ATT Skyrocket CM 10 ROM!!!!!
Infact... it works great!!!
TIP: i can also confirm that the UVLH1 has a stronger signal than the UVLI4 radio which is the latest. not sure why.. but i reverted back to UVLH1
hope this helps!

I tried to install the T989 (Hercules) CM10 version but it kept failing to install
The recovery I'm using is Team Win Recovery, if that matters. I suspect either TWRP is not working or the Kernel is incompatible
What Kernel are you using?

if it was built for t989 specific phones it wont install because of the assert
u dont need a t989 rom anyways, but if you want to try them out make sure the updater script doesnt have the assert function and do the rotation fix

I'm using the i727r (Rogers) running CM 10.1. I'm still on Rogers using the stock radio for now. Is there any consensus as to which radio file to flash for best results?

I know this thread is a little stale, but I figured I would throw in my two cents.
I have an i727r, unlocked. Right now I am running PACman Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178402) with the Blaze LB7 radio (4th from the bottom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400). They said I shouldn't be able to run an ICS radio with a JB Rom, but somehow it seems to be working. Note that the radio was on there before flashing PACman.
The kernel showing up in my phone info is the one that came with the PACman Rom, 3.0.72-cyanogenmod. I know this because before flashing PACman over stock, the kernel was 3.0.8.
Having said all that I'm thinking about updating my radio, probably to UVMB1. I'm not sure if I should bother though. I have a Nexus S, which is designed as an AWS phone out of the factory, and when I put my SIM card in that phone, the speedtest results are the same as what I'm getting right now with the LB7 radio on the Skyrocket. So I'm not sure I'd gain much by updating. :/

Can some people in the GTA please chime in to help me.
I am using a Rogers Skyrocket.
SlimBean Rom 4.2.2 Official 7
T989UVMC6 radio/modem
I tried a few other modems and found this one to be the most stable as some did not even allow a call to be made.
This is what I noticed.
Full charge I talked for 20 minutes and lost 10% battery (from full charge)
I get erratic data speeds inside=500-1 and outside I get 3
The problem is the battery drain and signal strength.
What are you using and what is your battery life and signal strength?
Data speeds?
your location?

Can some people in the GTA please chime in to help me.
I am using a Rogers Skyrocket.
SlimBean Rom 4.2.2 Official 7
T989UVMC6 radio/modem
I tried a few other modems and found this one to be the most stable as some did not even allow a call to be made.
This is what I noticed.
Full charge I talked for 20 minutes and lost 10% battery (from full charge)

My carrier is videotron, one of the most difficult carriers to get unlocked phones to work on. Here's what works for me, sim unlocked, rooted. Running cyanogenmod 10.1.0 RC2 with Blaze 4G LF4 radio, nobars battery saver and network booster. I'm still have the same issue as everyone else, baseband unknown and network type unknown. I've been running the stock kernel and I've been running like this for the past couple days, and touch wood, I haven't had any issues. I've tried the 2 Tmo radios, I got no signal what-so-ever, the telus radio kept dropping my connection, meaning, I would have to try and resend text messages several times before it would actually send. Now that I'm using my current setup, as described at the beginning of my post, no problems to date.
I hope my input helps out.

Ur input doesn't really help... 10.1 REQUIRES ucmc1 or ruxau7 , neither of which ur using. Try one of those radios and then post results
Edited: UVMB1 as well

Well, if it NEEDS ucmc1 or ruxau7, why have I been running this setup for the past month with no issues!?

You will, or already have had issues you're not aware of.

Edited, UVMB1, the NEW Blaze 4G radio from this thread seems to work as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
But like x said, u had issues u just weren't aware of them. Problems don't just APPEAR for no reason.

this threads getting confusing.
ucmc1 and uxuma7 is for rogers and att users on cm10.1
if using unlocked skyrocket for other carriers then you would need compatible jb radio for the new/unlocked carrier for cm10.1 based roms
so for tmo/wind etc you would need UVMB1 for the AWS bands, there are other jb radios for telus, bell but don't know if/how well they work on said carrier.
so if your carrier uses the same frequency's as tmo then UVMB1 seems to be what users are reporting success with.
if your carrier is using same frequency as att/rogers then the ucmc1 or uxuma7 radio is what you need
correct me if im wrong

^^^ this is exactly what I said except in a more detailed explanation .

[Q] Confused about installing ICS ROM into an existing GB ROM

It has been a long day of researching on unlocking my aunts SGH-T959W . I have finally finished rooting the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956025
My phone has the following status atm:
Firmware:2.3.6
Build no.: Gingerbread.WUQL86
kernel: 2.6.35.7-blastoff-v2
Blastoff does not detect any network signal, and hence I have to install another ROM
However, I am having a bit problem making a decision which ROM to install, since this is not even my phone and I am not sure.I was looking at this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/List_of_ROMs
Basically I just want a stable ROM for her phone, and something fast.
One thing particularly confusing is, how can I install ICS kernels into a Gingerbread ROM, that is just not compatible. And if you guys can provide links that would be useful, THANKS ! :laugh:

With blast off kernel you can flash any ics or jb roms. Ics is solid except for wifi calling and the battery won't go for days...maybe one day. Jb needs some work still gps doesn't work and wifi is broke on 4.2.2. If you're after something stable and wifi calling isn't a deal breaker go with any ics and proton kernel. O and the latest cm9 has broken video but proton kernel fixes it.

I can vouch for CM9 with the Proton kernel. Ultragen is supposed to be good too. If the JB ROMs haven't got GPS and WiFi working when I get The Urge, I'm trying that combo.
Btw, Google Voice works for WiFi calling. It doesn't show as the cell phone number at the recipient's phone tho.

Thanks, so I was looking at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Installing_a_ROM
in the upgrade/downgrade path section, it says I have to go CM9 to upgrade, am I am still in GB (MTD) or (BML) ? And why is I can't find blastoff kernel in the list. What I am confused about is how can I get proton kernel in CM9, in the list it doesnt seem to have it in the list. Okay wait is this what you mean, go to follow the instructions of flashing to CM9, then flash to CM10 ,slim bean 3.1 or paranoid andriod 2.99

Thanks for the response, so if custom ROMS still have problem should I just go back to the stock ROM, and if I go to the Stock ROM would I lose my rooting ? .What will be the pros and cons in this case ?

Ahh I don't need gps xD.

There are some interface changes going from gb to ics I like. Valhalla Black and CM7 were the, two GB ROMs I used other than stock, and I liked them both for different reasons.
Usually I try a different ROM because the one I'm on flakes due to a bad app, sun spots or sumthin'. If I gotta wipe and reflash, I figure may as well try something new.
I miss swype and the office app from the stock ROMs, but I like the overall experience better with the custom ROMs.
From a security standpoint, you really have no idea if the devs can be trusted, but that's not to say SAMSUNG or Google are implicitly trustworthy either. Just saying... For that matter, having private info on a smart phone isn't probably the most secure idea either. You pick the risks you find acceptable.
One of those risks is taking on the tech support for a phone you don't own

Oh, and I believe unlocking and rooting are two totally different things. The former relates to being able to use other service providers and the later gives more access to the device's software 'innards'.

It's probably because our wiki is outdated. Forgive us.
What matters is the version of cwm that you're using. Blastoff has 5.0.xx I forget which exact version is in the kernel. Anyway then you should be good to go. I'm not sure you still have to go to cm9 first. I think all our roms have the right stuff to take you from blastoff to wherever.

Lol, I am just trying to save my aunts 20$, and also I get to learn something new. what method do u usually do to change custom roms is it flashing from CWM or is there a software ?. I have been really careful regarding what i do to the phone since yesterday as it is not my phone, that is why I have been asking all possible questions before starting anything . I know unlocking and rooting are two different things , but in order to unlock you need to root.
Ok so I am flashing to CM9 now , after that should flash to a different ROM, like CM10 or should I just stick to CM9 or move to Ultragen. blastoff is a battery drainer, i got up this morning it went from 100% to 30% O_O

okay cool .I am rewriting this question, i think it did not get updated in my previous response. What I am confused about is how can I get proton kernel in CM9, in the list it doesnt seem to have it in the list. Okay wait is this what you mean, go to follow the instructions of flashing to CM9, then flash to CM10 ,slim bean 3.1 or paranoid andriod 2.99

You'll be able to flash any MTD rom from any other MTD/BML rom. The problem will be going from MTD back to BML but you probably won't want to do that.
As was mentioned, you will need a kernel with CWM 5.x+. You can find the blastoff kernel if you go back a few pages in the development forum.
As for which ROM to install? I recommend Team Acid's AOKP (link in my signature) using the Proton ICS kernel (by beastmode). It's been a very stable combination for me.

what are the chances of me going back to BML rom, so once I upgrade to custom ICS based roms, I can flash different roms that are only related to ICS and JB, and not Gingerbread, since it a version behind? So if I went to CM9 , i can easily switch AOKP with proton ics kernel or ICBINB ?
Thanks FB , I followed your post for rooting it was really useful. Also I thought BML and MTD, are just file systems or type of mapping, why are they supported in kernel level and not ROM level?
