Which ICS Roms have the SMS delay fix?

I recently flashed my first rom, going from stock 2.3.3 to Fallout 4.4.0. I always had the sms delay issues on 2.3.3, since flashing Fallout 4.4.0 I've still got the issue, but I also have text messages going missing as well.
Do any of the ICS custom roms have the SMS delay fix built in? Or is there a way to apply the fix to any rom I use?
Thanks

I've never had any issue with text messages going missing or any delay issues, either on stock or (currently) on CM9.
Are you sure it isn't a hardware issue with your particular phone instead of software?

It is a noted issue with some Desire S handsets. Why it's only some I don't know. There are a lot of users with this issue - link. It's also been discussed here on XDA.

I do vaguely remember something to do with this issue, but I think it was solved by an HTC update a long time ago. I can't imagine that any current ROM has this issue - it was a base software fix, not an add-on fix AFAIK.
If you are getting this now then I suspect it is something other than the ROM causing the problem.

That link also points to the software update that brought the Android version up to 2.3.5 as fixing the issue, why didn't you upgrade to 2.3.5? I still think it has something to do with your hardware and the fact it is only some would make me think that even more.

I presumed that any rom after 2.3.5 would have the fix but it was still happening on the ICS rom I tried. Today I have flashed 2.3.5 (version 2.10.401.9). I've still got sms delay
It's looking like it's not a software issue but I don't understand how it could be a hardware issue. Surely a hardware fault would mean they either do come through or don't, not the occasional delay or one going missing. So far my phone doesn't seem to have dropped signal when idle, so it 'may' have fixed something at least!

If my memory serves me correctly then the issue was related to the radio that came with the 1.47 update many moons ago
Sywepd form my DsereiS

That's interesting. Perhaps I could update to a custom rom and change the radio. So far the delays have been very short and none have gone missing so it's definitely better than before. I'd hate to be stuck on gingerbread though.

Jellybean Roms

With all the Jellybean Roms popping out for the Infinity, it's a little confusing to choose which ones are going to blend well with ones personality and usage... I'm not sure if this also applies to some, but it would be great if we could get some testimonials from those who have tried the different roms... probably post their pros and cons or maybe certain things and features that are not working with that Rom...
Hope someone could share their experiences here with the roms.. this might enlighten some users who are still contemplating whether to unlock their devices or not

I haven't tried a lot of ROMs for the tf700 yet, but I have noticed EOS' ROMs are basically stock-based, with some tweak to make the performance better and to OC. You can also slightly personalise things (like the statusbar color) or use a CM10 theme.
However, they are usually very stable, which is why I have been using them for months now on my Xoom, and chances are I'll use them on the tf700 as well
If you are really into customisation, you should have a look into most CM10-based ROMs or OAKP.
They really try to get as many features crammed in the ROM as possible!
I myself don't need that customisation and have found that stock based ROMs, with tweaked kernels usually do the trick.
(Maybe a little OC as well, but that's not even a must for me.)
It really depends on what you want.
But since most JB roms are in pretty early stages, I'd recommend to have a look into one of the ROMs you seem to like, read the latest pages of the threads and see if there are many issues or not. Most common issues are also mentionned in the first post of the ROM thread!
Maybe if you really want a daily driver, you should go and use Zeus first, and when the JB are really stable, you can switch to those?

All the JB roms are using the same alpha base... no gps and other bugs/performance issues. If you are looking to run JB I would wait awhile longer.

Trying new custom ROM's is something you have to like. If you really want to have a nice and stable system you probably better
wait for a stable version. But if you want to experience the early stages of what will be coming, installing new ROM's is a lot of fun.
I currently have the CM10 ROM installed compiled by Hiemanshu. Still have issues but i am amazed by the performance of Jelly Bean.
When i bought my TF700 i was kind a dissapointed by the perfomance of ICS but now i have had an insight of Jelly Bean i am totally happy again!
That's exactly why installing custom ROM's is worth the effort.

FWIW my experience is a little different. I tried the EOS and Baked Bean ROMS and like them both, but had an issue with the Portrait bug as one of my companies main apps requires Portrait if I want to use it on a Tablet. Also, even though I don't really need it, it did bother me that there was no GPS, and the wallpaper bug was just annoying. I figured that any issue with bootloader would eventually be fixed so I then did the TF700 version of the 300 build. Could not be happier. None of the bugs I just mentioned, Good performance, and I just installed Lux to address the brightness issue so that is not a problem either.

Did you apply the .30 update to get the TF700 bootloader back?

Might have to give that a shot later now that we can go back to ICS.

Lots of lag!

I was one of the early adopters of the TF700 and purchased mine from Office Depot sometime last summer. It was always laggy, but recently it's been pretty bad.
I've tried several ROMs including stock, CM10.1 and CROMi-X. All have this issue. It sometimes lags in simple tasks, but I've been finding the lag several places, like in the transition to the app drawer and the notification bars. There are lots of choppy transitions everywhere.
Is there anything I can do to fix it? Currently running CM10.1 with bryce's kernel. My bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted with TWRP. I'm at my wits' end and I'm pretty close to flashing stock and selling this thing.
Thanks!

Do you have an sd card in the slot? Try it without Roms shouldn't lag that much. CROMi-X is pretty much lag free for me. You must have something else causing the issue.

No sd card. I think it's a hardware issue similar to this:
http://androidandme.com/2013/06/opi...from-the-best-to-worst-tablet-ive-ever-owned/
It probably has to do with Asus's quality control.
Do you think Squaretrade covers this type of thing? I have a SquareTrade warranty that covers accidental damage stuff.

Lag's still there. I feel like it helped a tiny bit (probably placebo effect) but compared to my stock Nexus 7 and SGS2 with CM10.1, it's choppy and slow.

I got mine for Christmas, and mine seems to slowly be getting worse too. Mine is rather sluggish too, and I'm running completely stock at the moment with no expansion card. I've disabled quite a few of the stock apps, and I'm really not running much on here other than a few games.
It's even worse (might be unrelated to your issue though) if I unlock the device after it has been asleep for a while, sometimes I can't do anything for several minutes. It seems like it's checking for updates, e-mails, and notifications on every single app, because it would often spam me with notifications, particularly for the Facebook Messenger app, which I have recently removed. I made sure to turn off automatic updates and notifications for many apps, because it would start to update apps right after unlocking it, rendering it nearly unusable until it finished. I have the GreenPower battery manager app to help with battery life, which actually may make the problem worse because it forces WiFi to stay off after asleep for a while, so it can't update apps or get notifications until I unlock it.
I will look into the LagFix app.

If you are on stock check out Greenify. That's probably the most intelligent app to manage resources I have encountered. It's especially helpful with these pesky background services that think they have to run at all times.
It exists as an app in the Play Store (the paid version allows you to hibernate system apps and services - or those installed as such... like FB is on many systems), or as a module for Xposed Framework.
You do need root for this to run.
Another interesting way to speed up stock systems may be Xposed Framework. I just started to look into it - cannot say that much about it yet. But definitely worth looking into.
And then there's always the good old factory reset which does help clearing out accumulated crud. Yes, it's a pain to set up everything again, but if you're system becomes almost unusable it's a must try.
Again, if you are rooted you can use Titanium Backup to backup and restore your user apps, and if you are using a custom launcher like ADW, Apex or Nova, they all have a backup function and make it easy to restore your home screen setup.
I did a total clean install yesterday night while watching a movie and was done with it before it finished.

When did you do your last clean installation? Meaning wiping everything: system, data, cache and Dalvik before installing the ROM again and then only restoring user apps from backup - no system data!
If you lag that bad on a custom rom like CM 10.1 or CromiX, it's your setup, not the tablet or rom.

Still on stock 4.1.1, was one of the very first people who bought it (a few weeks before the official release). Mine's not slowing down at all. 4.2 did cause some serious lag issues for people, on both the TF700 and the Nexus 7. (And yes, I use it daily.)
Maybe try going back to 4.1.1? I am quite happy with my decision to wait for others to try it first...

@berndblb: I know you were replying to Castun, but just to rule it out, my last totally clean install was not long ago. I also just did a factory reset in TWRP. Still laggy sometimes. Also, if I have it in any other mode except for Performance, it lags even worse...
I just now realized that my dock doesn't work, either. And I JUST did a factory reset and didn't restore any apps! It only works in safe mode, which doesn't make sense because I don't have any extra apps when I'm not in safe mode.
But yeah, I'm going to flash back to stock 4.2 and see if it's fixed. If not, I'll try 4.1. If push comes to shove, I'll sell it...
I also tried Greenify, but it didn't really do anything because all I have are system apps.

I flashed stock 4.2 and it fixed a lot of the lag. The device works pretty well now. Thanks for that suggestion, not a bad one! haha
Anyway, I have another small question in addition to this:
If I DO decide I still want to sell it, what's a good way to unroot, flash stock recovery, and relock the bootloader (if possible)? If I do, will I be able to recieve OTA updates? Thanks!

Flashing the complete stock firmware automatically unroots and restores stock recovery. Relocking the bootloader does not re-enable OTA updates or manufacturer warranty, so it's useless to try.

Recommendation for multiple user ROM

Has anyone had experience of multiple users on a customer ROM.
I am thinking I may go down the 4.4 route, but I am currently using CROMI with rom2sd, and wondered if anyone had any recommendations as I am haveing problems with random reboots, losing the secondary user details etc.
Many Thanks

Multi-user never worked well on stock and it doesn't work well on CROMi either. I'm not sure if CM roms support it at all... It bogs down the tablet. Best to forget about it...

Will changing my ROM fix the bugs on OPO?

Hi all
i've been having random reboots and ghost gestures on my OPO and from what i heard it's a software issue
so if i changed my ROM to let say SLIMKAT will this resolve the issue?

Yes.

Definitely. I had Bluetooth streaming issues and FC problems with the stock CM11s ROM. I expected this with all the issues I experienced with CM11/CM10 on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. Switching to Vanir AOSP ROM solved all my issues. I can also confirm that Mahdi and Slimkat are great options.
The unfortunate reality is that since Cyanogen has turned into a legitimate company they've allowed their ROMs to slip dramatically. They used to always be known as the top tier go to for the most bug free experience. These days they are sub-par at best and there are many MUCH better options. 100% functionality with no bugs can no longer be expected from CM ROMs, unfortunately..

Your problems are not likely from CM11s being an inherently buggy ROM. Scores of people (including myself) have had zero issues with it. There are other potential causes of your problems that should be considered as well.
Most of the benefit of flashing a different ROM is probably starting with a clean install and no cache. Doing a factory reset of 38R may do the trick too. Nevertheless, you should flash another ROM just for fun

thanks for the reply guys
most ROMs are similar right ? so i won't go wrong with flashing any of them right?

They are all basically a derivative of cm11 or aosp. Just go to each rom and read up on users issues and how happy or upset they may be. Then look for features you may or may not be interested in. I am a crdroid user but slim or mahdi are great choices as well. You do know if you do not like one you simply wipe and try another....:good:
