[Q] Question about upgrading to 2.3.4

I just updated my phone to Gingerbread and now it seems to have some problems.
1st - It will not install any apps. It does a quick restart everytime it starts installing an app
2nd - There is no longer any snooze button when i set an alarm.
Anyone have any idea what I might have done?
Here are the phones specs
Firmware version 2.3.5
Baseband version t959vukd1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-t959vuvkg4-cl385158
Build number Ginberbread.vuvkg4

Get yourself a KJ6 based ROM. Right now you have a KG4 rom which was a leaked version of Gingerbread. KJ6 is based off of 2.3.6, which is newer and has been officially released by Samsung.

Flashing that way requires you to have Clock Work Recovery Mod (CWM) installed. If you have it, that's how you would flash it. If not, then go back into the dev section and look for RaverX3X's ODIN version of KJ6 stock.

Thank you i will see if i can find it.

No worries. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Quick question. It does not have instructions on how to flash it. And my phone wont let me download any application

actually i think i figured it out. I will keep you posted.
Thank you

The download should only have the 1 file; it goes into the PDA section. Let ODIN decide what's checked & not checked.

Thanks very muchly. EDIT: Can i just use this to update: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Sensation:_Full_Update_Guide or do i have to install this 3.32 firmware that it says to download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

That guide is fairly general in that it just refers to the 'latest version of CyanogenMod'. So yes as per the OP of the thread I linked you to you will need to install 3.32 firmware. You could install over your current ROM if you really wanted but I'd recommend a full wipe for a nice clean installation.
CM7 is Gingerbread based and CM9 is ICS based so yes you will end up with a newer version of Android, hence the need for the newer firmware.

Firmware isn't removed with the wipe so it doesn't matter too much. I would wipe, install new firmware, install ROM and you should be good to go :good:
Make sure you do a nandroid backup before you start anything, if things go pear-shaped you'll want it. Also make sure you have access to a copy of your current firmware, if you have to restore your nandroid backup AFTER installing the new firmware it won't work as the firmware will no longer match, so you'll have to roll that back too.

Synergy ROM (484) Clean install -- broken camera/GPS not connecting

As can be gleaned from the thread title, I install the latest Synergy ROM (484) and my camera app crashes as well as GPS failing to lock on. I have tried different camera apps and using GPS Status. Does anyone know of a fix, as I've tried searching through the 3000 page forum? LOL
Thanks in advance for any help

I just rewiped and flashed and now my GPS is working, but camera is still broken. :'(

Flash a different kernel. Like kt747 tw version.

Doubt if anyone has a fix because the ROM is not broken. I've used the last 3 builds and never had a problem. Download fresh and wipe and try again. I recommend starting with the included stock kernel. and oh yes, make sure you are on the correct modem firmware wince the ROM does not install that.

Bad download? Try downloading again.

Did you superwipe? Flash any firmware update?
Firmware is key. Not all roms have been rebased to match the newest. Make sure you flash the firmware with .Tz file. Seen pages of people with camera problems on synergy because of this.

I'm sorry if I implied the ROM was at fault, perhaps I am missing some step, but I did just now do a complete wipe (3x), re-downloaded the ROM and firmware, and it seems the only problem MY phone has is the Camera

Tried that. *Sigh* I think I am going to go to a different ROM, not having the Camera work is a dealbreaker. Whether it's ignorance on my part, or lack of documented resolutions for this problem that I have seen others have, I can't go this long without it.
Maybe flashing another ROM and coming back at a later time may solve the issue.

I had the same problem and I fixed it by flashing a different kernel. I used the kt47 kernel and Now everything works.

OP, try this if you havent been done with this problem already. its 4am for me right now and I'm tired as balls and was at my wits end but then after flashing god knows how many different options hoping the camera would magically come back...i flash the kt747 tw kernel and its all gravy now. I dont understand how. I dont want or need to understand how. I am thankful! :good:

like this rom
i like this rom only had a few problems but after a reboot seams to be working good again

I have the weirdest thing happening. I'm on stable 7 and have been for quite a while. It's worked perfectly until a couple days ago and now I can't send text messages out. I think I can receive OK. Just can't send out. I've even tried doing a clean install of this and other ROMs with same result. It gets more odd... After toying with it I can send only one text out. Just one to any person. But I can't send another unless I reboot or I think wait a few hours. Upon reboot I again can send only one text message out. And so on. I have no clue what could be happening. Any ideas?

I had that problem when I was using certain builds. I had to drop modem back to BMB1. After that I could send with no issue. I, too could only send one text at a time.

Stock kernel and VRBMF1 firmware is the bassline recommendation. TWRP 2.7 at least, newest TWRP 2.8 works fine as well.

I was able to locate the firmware and had a tough time finding the stock kernel as many links for many things are no longer good... I downloaded what I thought was the "stock kernel v2" however when I try to flash after flashing the firmware in twrp I get a failed message "unable to open zip file".. Any thoughts, thank you in adv. Have twrp 2.8.0.1 btw and flashed MF1 firmware....

Just an FYI, I tried the latest nightly and got zero GPS fix, even with a clean flash. I went back to the latest stable build (also a clean flash) and everything's cool with that, except for my inability to view pics within Gmail. :/

Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot
Hi, I just loaded up Slimkat 4.4.4 with the stock kernel on my Verizon Galaxy S3. I used to use the Wifi Tether TrevE Mod with my previous version and that worked, however, this does not appear to work in this rom. I noticed there was a built in Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, which does work perfectly. I would like to use this but am just concerned that somehow VZ would know I am tethering and I would incur additional charges. Do I have anything to worry about or am I just being paranoid?
Thank you for a GREAT product, it's a spectacular rom.

I'm running a old version of Hyperdrive v6 on a N8013 Android 4.1.2. According to rootchecker, my bootloader is N8013UEUCMC2 and Kernel version is 3.0.31-813049.

Also, this isn't related to your rom but I've been out of the loop for awhile, can you tell me what is the best current solution for installing flash for websites.

I did a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. My internal storage has about 1/6 G free, and the SDCARD has about 2 G free.
What could be wrong, I have downloaded the ROM twice now.
Any suggestion appreciated.
Thanks

what is your device?

@AhmedSafian thank you for your hard work. This ROM is definitely the one that made my tab look new. Just wanted to report few things.
(N8013)
1) xposed is not pre-installed? If ever I'll do it manually, which version would you recommend.
2) I installed a HULU app since I do have an account with them, (it's like Netflix) it doesn't run. Any suggestions on what to do with it?
3) Is Sound Alive better than (Dolby Digital)?
