CyanogenMod

Okay I am trying to understand everything with cyanogenmod here. so far i have rooted my phone (2.2 voodoo kernel/custom recovery). I am wanting to put cyanogenmod on it because ive seen/heard the many features that it has to offer. Upon reading all this I am coming confused and need to know is there a "Stable and working" cyanogenmod for the samsung mesmerize? and how to put it on the phone if there is. Please and thank you

This has all been covered in the actual CM thread, all of our ROM's are stable they just have some missing features (AOSP built ones anyway)

MMS seems to be an issue right now, i have tried apns backup and reinstall and no luck. The other issue i have noticed is the cameras highest res is 3mp, but is fully functional. I also got 2694 on quadrant, if you have never used cyanogenmod i highly recommend it. Coming from a desire this is a bit of a step backwards, but no other rom will do. That being said, it's highly customizeable compared to other roms i have tried.

So the only thing not working is MMS?

Jesus Christ. Yall read the damn CyanogenMod ROM thread, come on.

Lol... @add im becoming a big fan of yours you are blunt and don't beat around the bush!!!! Funny **** comes from your fingers...

Any tips for using wireless tethering on this ROM? I couldn't find it in Settings so I'm using an app but it unusably slow. Has the stock menu option been removed? I don't see USB tethering either.
Also, is there a way to get Swype back? Maybe this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-841603.html

Barnacle wifi seems to work.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I went back to super clean for the time being, as I also couldn't find any way to access my phone from my windows pc with cyanogenmod - I guess you need a separate app for that too? I will have to do some more research before using that rom. Can't wait, it is by far the easiest on the eyes.

Any word an a "my contacts backup" apk that will run on the cm6?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

Why don't you just put your contacts on your Google account?

thats the best way to save contacts cause then it auto syncs back to the phone on any rom

In hindsight ... it would have been the wiser choice.

Anyone else having Bluetooth issues. I can't even enable mine. A friend is running the pbj time kernel says his is running fine. I flashed as posted and I get no Bluetooth. Also he claims to not have the roam triangle. The only difference is the kernel. Any thoughts?
I changed to pbj time kernel. I can now enable and file transfer via Bluetooth

will do.

The problem is when your SMS app send your message to the radio to be sent out. It is not devided properly. Its actually a complex problem. I personally believe the problem is kernel based. As the kernel is the communication link between software and hardware. There are developers working on it.
Edit: Try sending long messages as mms. Will fix your problem temporally

Any feedback on CM10 8-18 d2vzw official nightly?

I'm itching to try CM now that it's official, but I depend on my phone and need stability. Does anyone who's tried it have any feedback? Anything broke?

i may have to flash that..

I wouldn't run the official nightlies for the time being until the data and MMS fixes get approved and merged. CVPS (Austin Dickenson) posted an Alpha 2 on his G+ with those fixes above so you would be better off running those.

Yea, wouldn't want those issues. I'd read some about that and assumed that since there was a couple of days between CVPS's fix and the posting of the official nightly that the fix would be included.

So, how actually stable and usable is this then.
I want to get CM10 or paranoidandroid running, but it looks as though its a gigantic pain in the ass right now with all these issues that people talk about.

I dunno, I've been running CM10 for weeks now with basically no problems. MMS is borked, but whatever.

I have seen a MMS fix and also think people are having problems depending on your phone. It will not hurt to flash it and flash back if you have problems.

Here's the code review for the patch:
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/21492/
In G+ he indicates it is a fix for MMS. Nothing is mentioned about losing IMEI. I haven't read anywhere where anybody has a handle on what causes that issue. It's seemingly random.
This post descibes how to backup and restore EFS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788443
And this post describes how to restore from scratch using a Windows PC, which isn't a lot of use for us Linux people because a Windows VM in Virtualbox doesn't seem to recognize the phone through USB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802024
Personally I think I'm going to wait until the IMES issue gets figured out. Phone runs pretty sweet as-is.

Link?
Does this assume that there aren't any glaring issues such as data/camera/mms etc requiring fixes?
FYI,
It is not listed anywhere on the get.cm Site... Only the i9300 international.

No regrets
I decided to take the plunge last night and have done a reboot with NO ill effects to my MMS or IMEI.
The stock CM camera is amazing. Video, FF and ZERO shutter lag are all present. I was worried about losing some of the touchwiz camera options, but I do not miss them.
Data works, but my room is a deadzone so I'll have to wait until I venture outside to see how capable it is.
Wi-fi seems a tad weaker, but not by much.
All of my apps work (netflix included) and the only "annoying" things I have found so far is HBO go not being compatible and Facebook Sync not working the way I would expect it to. I've read that the FB glitch is due to poor support from the facebook app, so I don't think it's really an issue with the ROM.
There is occasional homescreen glitching, which is very slight and happens almost never. It just causes the screen to flash a little bit. There is a fix for this problem but I think you have to re-apply it after every reboot. Either way, NOT a deal breaker.

Ty for the mini review.
Did you install with kexec or just flashed in recovery like normal?
I am now using the other recovery (can't recall the name) as I've read it's better, but I am used to cwm.
If it's just now a simple wipe/install that's fine.
Now I just need to back up the IMEI and back when I get a chance.
But it still doesn't look that official until I see it on the Site.
Maybe it's there but I'm blind

This. It has been up since last night. And it has the same problems but today's/tomorrows merges are fixing them. If you only want one dd to flash, maybe do it Sunday night or Monday morning. Those builds will likely have fixes merged. Or as other have stated use cvpcs prealpha build which is already fixed.

I actually enjoy touchwiz too. I never thought I would.
I am using nova launcher and tw, so far it's a nice fast combination.
I question why I'd step up to jb yet but always have this stupid urge to risk breaking stuff that's working fine.

Reunited with my HTC Rezound

I just flashed the latest (as of now, only) CM nightly from their website which requires an UNLOCKED bootloader to be installed on the phone. The EZ unlock app in the market is as dummy proof as it gets. Just make sure your device has root. Also, use CWM recovery provided in the EZ recover app also found in the market. Make sure you flash the right recovery, the first time I didn't check the correct radio button and flashed the stock recovery back onto the phone. That was a bit of a mind-f**k.
After some testing outside of the house I find that it has as good or better network signal than I had with "stock" ROMs. I don't ever recall having 4g with full bars before installing this ROM. The wi-fi still seems weak, but I'm sure it will get tweaked eventually!
I think it's amazing what developers do. Thank you, wherever you are.

[Q] Wi-Fi tethering question...

OK, here it goes.
I have two Infuse phones. One is running 4.1 and the other is on android 4.2. I noticed that probably (it is my guess) due to the merge not being full or complete yet the Wi-Fi tether is not working.
I tried using Foxfi but this app crashes as soon as I enable it. So my question is, has anyone had the same issue or knows a workaround?
I read a lot of posts on the internet regarding this but nothing really related to 4.2 and most of solutions are using an external APP. Should I be just patient and wait for the full merge?
Am I doing to many questions? xD Thanks in advance.

Edit: Don't know what's goin. It says "turning hotspot on", but sits there and never turns it on. :S
I reflashed from scratch twice and this single feature doesn't work, all other things are working perfectly, but the tethering isn't. What's funny is that all over the internet you're going to find similar issues on 4.2, that's why I wonder if it's not related to that not being stable yet on 4.2.

Wifi calling

Can i get wifi calling on one s cm10 stable
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Does it work?
I have tried to find the answer to this as well. Since the last minor update from T-blow it works worse than before.
Is there a CM dev out there that can answer this or someone that is using CM 10.1 stable that can answer this?

Been searching for answer to this as well. Haven't been able to find an answer on these forums or anywhere else. From what I've read simply installing the .apk does nothing. Looks as if its a kernel issue as well. :/
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

The answer is no.
Unfortunately WiFi calling will not work on anything other then stock.
Their implementation of the service is to ingrained into the framework to simply get it working on the new version.
