I noticed some Kernels have different issues with wired headset.
Headset cuts my voice during voice calls
Auto dials and auto pulls call log
Headset button doesn't work
anyone notice strange behavior with your headset plugged in? Lets make a list of issues to make it simpler for devs to find a solution.
Any solutions? (one is to use stock kernel which is linked in this thread)
Post your issues with wired headset and please note which kernel is acting up. maybe we can combine code from different kernels to make one that works. (I noticed that some kernels have one issue but not the other)
Thanks for all your support and great work everyone is doing on the Epic!
Yes, I noticed the behavior between different kernels (using stock ROM). I know for a fact that with Xtreme Kernel, it disconnects my calls whenever I plug in my headset. The devs say to use only with ACS ROM, but given that the kernel is the bridge between the hardware and software, I doubt the ACS ROM would fix the issue.
I forgot what happened with the other kernels. I settled with Pheonix for now at the conservative governor (interactive sometimes leaves the CPU running at 100MHz and wont ramp up).
Seems we wont be getting any fixes for a while. All the kernel devs are having too much fun playing with Froyo.
Glad I am not the only one! Lets see if we can work this out! Using your phone without headset will give you BRAIN CANCER! Plus its more convenient with a headset when I have to deal with clients.
had problems using epic experience w/ mixup kernel and the latest Xtreme
I can confirm that wired headset handling is kind of fubar in our community kernels. Samsung had made some bugfixes between DI07 -> DI18 versions, but those changes don't appear to have been added to the DI18 source code.
Have any of you tried using the stock DI18 kernel to test this? If it works properly, then we have to cross our fingers and hope the issues don't persist in the kernel shipped with Froyo - as it stands there's no way to know what changed to fix this stuff easily in our community kernels.
The only time I ever gotten headset to work with phone mic was using stock rom and stock kernel after an odin.

Yep, that's the exact issue with the missing changes in the source Samsung released.

It's only the custom kernel(s) that cause this issue...flash whatever rom you want, flash the stock kernel and you should be good to go...
also, FYI, already a thread on this issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771861
any link to stock Kernel? would be good if we could find a solution for the custom kernels, Is there any other way to install stock kernel besides restoring stock rom through ODIN?

Oh really? I remember trying andromeda with stock kernel and it still didn't work for me. I'll try Syndicate with stock kernel eventually then. Thanks for the information
thanks for the zip!!! any idea if devs are aware of this issue?

I doubt it. I posted my bug on the Xtreme Kernel thread and Devin never responded. The only response I got was to use a specific ROM .
Yes, well at least this one is. I'm examining the audio right now to try and hunt down a fix for this and the bluetooth routing bug.
The leaked 2.2 still has the bluetooth bug afaik. I'm hoping samsung releases this fix with their source next time.
Using extreme kernel and when i plug in AUX cable for audio to my car it isnt recognized as a headset.
You mean it doesn't pop the icon in the notification bar, or that it doesn't play audio?
Nothing I plug in pops the headset icon when using a custom kernel - not even the wired headset. Pretty sure it's another symptom of the bug.
[edit] Nor in the froyo stock kernel. /shakes fist at samsung!

Yeah everything should work fine. Give it a shot. Just make a nandroid in case you don't like it.
Yeah, do it. GPS has been the fastest with it for me. Battery life is the best as well. And camera is better than stock 2.3.

I use MIUI daily.
It works best with Faux's 4.3 SV DS Rom (increases battery life).
My only issue is WiFi calling doesn't work.

"BETA PUBLICATION" Acura team Hilo informativo Rome "Samba" avances
"PUBLIC BETA" AcuraTeam Rom informative thread "Samba" advances
Hi buddies, we will create this thread to be reporting on our progress in creating the rom Samba.
BACKGROUND: Since the official version came out the ginger, all have been problems, the version of exit 21A, left with kernel 2.6.35.7 + roteable being this rom but llamadas.lags problems, mismanagement of ram, etc.. ...
Later versions 21B onwards seem to solve these problems somewhat, but not roteables, LG has decided cerrarlas.La biggest difference lies in the new kernel 2.6.35.7.
Any attempt to create a rom with the system of non roteables, gives results in a rom without network coverage, any attempt to create a kernel after the year released by LG 2.6.35.7 results in no coverage rom red.cualquier attempt make a rom with any other kernel results in a rom not recognized imei no network coverage, no wifi, no bluetoch without OC (created modules are for kernel 2.6.35.7 + ginger)
Well, the team decides to throw the last option, create a rom with the system of non roteables and create a kernel with the most compatible with them ..... I do not say this to work or what I brought to explain and it would take days ... but the result is the SAMBA rom created with the system of inroteable didiembre 20A of 22 Brazilian (from there the "Samba") and as of today everything works.

hi,
thanks for posting... anyways, now that you have tried samba, can u say that there really is an improvement in the camera department (camcorder)? because honestly, it is the poorest trait of the o3d. really crappy camcorder quality
Great ROM. Smooth like cream.

i just flashed this over acura v7.1 (just wiping dalvik cache) and i must say that this is much smoother. camcorder is still the same crap though LG really messed up on that department
I did wipes, fashed the rom after inital setup, reboot,
installed titanium backup didn't want to restore apps reboot
restore apps + data no problem
my internet connection seems faster 5768kbps down, 1716kbps up (vodafone )
antutu bench see attach
after restore apps did the third reboot
no lag very fast rom.
How about the Gingerbread Ghost call issue?
Any luck sorting that out in this ROM, or does it still exist?

hi kampfbestie,
apparently, there's already a version2 of the samba out which addresses the bluetooth issue from v1. would you be so kind to post a link as well? i tried to register through the official link (to download the file) but i just can't understand the parts that are heavy on spanish

I'm having a little bit of a hard time following the OP here... so this is a new rom from Acura, based on v20b - is this a rooted rom? Does it have the same ghost call issues associated with some of the other LG roms? I'm guessing this is flashed with CMW ?
Sorry, if someone can explain it just a little clearer, so those of us who are confused can understand.................
hi. i installed this rom. seems good. no ghost call. is rooted and based on V20a.
with that rom my phone is see how P920h. that is right?

Installed the ROM and sent myself an SMS.
Got a delivery notification on my old Desire. Never got the message on the O3D
So it seems there's still a ghost call/sms issue

Hi.
Nice rom, but I have an issue.
In Go Sms contacts in therads are displayed only with mobile number, no name or anything else. Handcent the same. In stock sms app its OK. (contact names are displayed)
tried some solutions with contacts in system app, but no effect.
Is it only me or this rom is really fast. And ram managment is good in comparison to the crappy in the stock roms.

Yes, I agree too (so far)! But will need to monitor for a while (continuous use without rebooting) to see if things start to lag.

This is by far the Best rom I have ever tested
3 days so far extremely fast and stable
no complaints yet about ghost calls
battery is also improved.
Great work guys, finally a rom with great potential
Hi all,
What basesband should be used?
thz
Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read.
I have a LG G2X, love the feel, the display, the specs and the price. Hate the phone....in every other way
I am on my 4th G2X now b/c I keep taking it back to T-Mobile to get a new one based on the following things my phone does:
1. It restarts 1-2x a week, randomly with or without a power adapter plugged
2. It freezes up every other day or so and requires a hard restart (battery pull) to resume use
3. It frequently takes 5+ minutes to get a GPS lock (tried in several cities coast to coast US)
Now if it were just the first phone I could say lemon, but every G2X I have owned does this, T-Mobile told me it was a known issue with the phone but couldn't tell me if it was software or hardware in nature.
So my question to you fellow forumites is this: Is the issue hardware related (move on to another phone) or software (Rom install fixes all my worries and I'm happy forever and ever and ever)?
If you're still using the stock ROM, and are still on 2.3.3, then you are experiencing SW suckage... Get a custom CM7 Rom on there and enjoy some of the finer benefits. Stability will be better but you won't be dead-set stable. GPS has been an issue for some since the inception of the phone. Others have GREAT GPS reception.
Research the Development forums and find a CM7.2 ROM that best suits you. You can of course go CM9 (ICS) but you won't get HW Acceleration and some things just flat out don't work yet.

The stability and GPS performance are greatly enhanced by the stock 2.3.4 ROM, also, if you're not a CM7 fan.

Thanks for the great responses guys, just another reason I love this forum.
I should have given a few more details, I am running stock 2.3.3 on T-Mobile in the US.
Few questions for a techie (but virgin ROMer):
1. Is the 2.3.4 stock available OTA? I haven't seen any available upgrades.
2. What does baseband refer to? (trying to educate myself on the terms)
3. Any favorite ROMs? My must haves are stability and speed, other than that any goodies/awesomeness is welcome but the first two are absolute.
I am tempted to stick to stock ROMs as I haven't flashed one myself yet and this phone is my lifeblood b/c of work.
On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is "I did it with on accident when I dropped it down the stairs" and 10 is "the most difficult thing you will ever do in your life" what is the difficulty for a ROM virgin to sucessfully flash to 2.3.4 (if it is not available OTA) or CM7/other ROMs,etc?
I am technical, 12 year IT professional with MCSA/CCNA, etc but haven't done much research into the ROM biz. If its not too difficult is there a "Must read" guide for noobs?

Difficulty is pretty low. If you can follow instructions, and understand what you're doing, then you should be good to go. If you want 2.3.4, you're gonna need to use LG's ****ty software. Either you use KDZ flasher, or LG's official PC suite. Both crashed on me constantly on Win7 x64. I was lucky/unlucky, it crashed right after writing the baseband (low level radio firmware). It hadn't even partitioned anything yet if I tried to turn it on, not even a backlight was showing. So I had to use NVflash to completely repartition it to stock. After that, I flashed CWM (clockworkmod), the custom recovery. Nowadays, TWRP is available. TWRP is awesome, and they have awesome Devs. TWRP (teamwin recovery project) is touch based rather than CWM and traditional volume key and power button navigation. There is CWM touch, but it's extremely experimental and I find it too glitchy compared to TWRP. TWRP is a work in progress however and there may be issues (I had one but it was easily fixed with one command when I spoke with the Devs on irc) I haven't had any serious ones though. IMO it's easier to NVflash in a Linux environment, because there is no messing around with drivers. But after drivers are installed on windows, the difficulty level plateaus.
As for my favorite ROM, that would currently temasek cm7 builds. They're stable, fast and they're customizable as f***.
I don't have any links right now, because I'm on my phone, (I can grab them later/soonish) you're going to want tga_gunman's thread named something along the lines of "One click recovery flasher" that's for CWM recovery. If you want TWRP, there's a thread that has TWRP in the title.
Also look for "ROM for recovery under NVflash" or something similar to that. That will take you back to complete stock 2.3.3 no matter what happened software wise, unless you somehow managed to break the baseband. The baseband is the only thing that cannot be fixed by NVflash, only can be fixed by LG's ****ty PC software.
For temasek's cm7 builds, the thread is not created by temasek, but the builds are by him. It should be at build 133 or 134.
If you need anything else, PM me maybe.

Firstly thanks for all the good Q/A, like a good forum noobie, I'm marking thanks each reply.
I want to make sure I understand your comment. This is what I understood, let me know if I'm off/on. The CM Roms do not work with BT calling, so I should stick with stock if that's important to me? I would assume then for me to get beyond my current issues (OP) my best bet would be to Flash the 2.3.4 stock?
Thanks again for the info and time.
***edit***
Nix the above. I completely read it wrong, thought you were saying all CM ROMs didn't work with Bluetooth. Just so on the current Baseband.
I'm on Jul 15 2011 Baseband currently, so I'll attempt the CM7 ROM this weekend when I'm back home and able to devote more focus. Coming from stock 2.3.3 do I need to flash a kernel as well or will that be in the ROM <---showing my ROM noobness but unashamed to learn.

If you decide to get the newer baseband (you get it with 2.3.4 kdz, only way to get new baseband) and bt calling is important, do not go to cm. If you don't mind staying on the older baseband, bt calling will work fine on cm.

Lol, I feel so dumb, its like learning a new language while being held underwater.

I'm trying to understand why I would decide to get the newer baseband? If I do I can use BT calling but can't use CM7 ROMs, if I don't I can use CM7 ROMs and BT calls should work fine. Dont see the upside to upgrading the baseband, unless it has issues?

KDZ = LG's proprietary file type to update their phones via PC officially. A lot of people say the new baseband gives them better gps and call quality. Basically if you don't change baseband to the new one, everything will work perfectly. If you DO switch, everything will work perfectly, but only on stock. Everything will work on cm except Bluetooth calling with the new baseband. I don't think it's worth restricting yourself to stock because of the new baseband and and bt calling. My recommendation? Don't change baseband, just go to cm. Also, soon we might start to see android 4.1.1 jelly bean. They won't be stable for a while though.
Too much fun.
Couldn't wait, just finished flashing CWM, then backed up, then wiped like 400x then dropped the CM7 ROM you sugested.

Yeah goo.im/gapps is the best. For the cell network, try going settings> wireless>mobile>network operators and select "select automatically"
Ive had the CM9.1 r8 rom for a very long time but when my phone is around 40% battery life it reboots non stop that its gotten really annoying and frustrating for me because the fix is to charge the phone and if Im not home its a problem my phone is useless that I cannot use it anymore, as soon as I reboot and unlock the phone to send a txt or make a call itll reboot again. Anyway I want working roms with no bugs or glitches etc. Ive been googling some roms and stumbled on the Viper Venom rom but it said it was for another phone not the mytouch 4g slide. Is it possible to use other roms for other phones or is that a big no no? If so is there a working version for this phone?
If not can someone recommend a good working rom that does not drain the battery, lag, dodgy camera, wifi doesnt work etc?

Only a ROM that is specifically ported to THIS phone will work. You cannot just flash a ROM from another phone, that's a sure way to end up with a brick.
There are several ROMs here that a lot of people like. Personally, I use the Miktouch 0.7 ROM (with Liquid Smooth and Genius Button patches) because, like you, I want everything to work as it is supposed to work. It is a stock ROM that has been tuned and cleaned up to run smoother and faster. Though I like the look of some of the newer ROMs, especially the Jelly Bean ones, there's always a little quirk that is just enough to annoy me and make me go back to the Miktouch ROM. But, that's just my opinion, yours may be different.
Wrong section this is the dev section there is a question section people.

Ok thanks for the info and sorry for posting on the wrong section. Damn unlucky this rom does not work, I actually like the theme of it it looks really neat and clean for this phone. I just went to their offical website and they have a topic on the forum where the source code for this rom is kept private and you have to know how to make a rom and request permisson from them to grant you the source code and to also be a team member for them to port the rom to this phone orrrrrrrrr you have to send them your phone so they can experiment on it to make the rom for it. Just my luck Im not good at making roms I wish there was a way to learn I wouldnt mind trying to be a developer but it looks really difficult and not easy

CM9 R8 is really old too. there have been several updates to that rom since then
You mean cm-9-1-(3-0-74)-r11? I installed that last time but the wifi would not work for me, every time I tried to enable it nothing would happen. If I went to settings and tried to enable it from there again nothing would happen so I reverted back to R8

Are you S-On? If so, you must flash the kernel in bootloader separately from the ROM. WiFi not working is a classic example of the wrong kernel for the ROM.

Yeh I tried that few months ago and yesterday I flashed it 4 times. I even flashed r10 the older version twice and that too didnt work. Got it working eventually wow I didnt know I just had to keep trying to flash it till I got it working, looks ok now Ill give this rom a test and hope the battery life is better than r8. So far everything seems to be working no bugs or crashes
