Does 4g not work?
I'm showing 3g right now and normally get 4g in the area i'm in (i'm at work not home).
NVM it just showed the H symbol over 3g. I know it's Fake 4g, but normally here never drop to 3g on GB, seems to be more stable at 3 and rarely get H.

The way ics asop roms handle 3g over 4g is unless you NEED 4g it will default to 3g. Update a app or two and see what happens.

Ahh very cool. NOw i've read about the wifi signal issue which isn't an issue except for wifi calling. Guess it doesn't matter since it crashes but in the future if that takes off and works.

Flashed it last night. Everything is great except the wifi calling. Can't make and receive calls.

Check the development thread, known issue.

Love this. Only issue I have been having is wifi is slow even tried various modems from FB but each seems to have a downfall, lb6 made wifi fastest out of them all but then my service bars bounce up and down and lose signal inside buildings. Still figuring all this stuff out since this is my first flash. Thanks!

This rom doesn't have GPS issues does it?

Are there any current bugs?

Did you check the dev OP? It mentions some. And there's others if you actually read its thread and this one.

Hey beast are you gonna update this rom. With the aaries kernel, and if yes would it still be able to use wifi calling?

Sweet!!!!!!! I mean I'd be using BeanStalk but this one has wifi calling, And hey beast if you ever need testers just let me know.
As well I love this Rom and is the only ics rom that has wifi calling
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

Sorry if this has been answered or I missed a thread...is the difference between this version and 20130227 is that wi-fi calling works on this ROM?

No. And wifi-calling still doesn't work on ICS... closest it got was accepting text messages, but the wifi app still crashed on calls.

Does this ROM support bln?

It's a kernel thing. Proton kernel doesn't do bln but hefe will. The downside I think is that the backlights will stay on while the screen is on. Although I think some people have both working with some combination of rom and kernel. Ultragen I think.

Ok thanks for the reply

Stop holding your breath. We still need sources from Samsung, before anything. The problem is our LTE radio.
Hell, if we can some sort of AOSP love then I can deal with not having LTE. I don't live in a 4g area and even when I am in one I turn it off.

What you don't understand is we need RIL source to get 4g...3g...phone calls. It's not limited to only not having lte

It could still be done. Back on the Fascinate, some of the initial builds of CM7 were still using a FroYo Kernel and ED04 baseband.
If devs can figure out how to build the OS from the source while still keeping the EP4 kernel and baseband, we could have a relatively functional ICS build.

I still have faith that the dev community will be able to get a successful RIL working. Once we have that then it sounds as if there should be a good
Gingerbread ROM ready. From there we stand a fair chance of making the upgrade to ICS.

The RIL is always the bugger of it all. In the Fascinate arena, JT had to completely rewrite it from scratch to get it working properly.

Stick on antenna problems

I put one of these dumb stick on antennas (as seen on TV) on the back of my battery and it sucked so I removed it. Now I can't get 4g I only get 3g. Any ideas on how to fix?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
I have no clue abt this stick...
But if your getting 3g that is great...4g is a misunderstanding...
Can you make:

If all of the above is good to go, then .

Never heard of this antenna thing but if it really did hurt something I would say a wipe and reflash would fix your problem.

3G only?

I've been on liquid smooth ics jmod mr2v7 since release day. Been loving it. Everything working except camera and camcorder idk why. Applying new themes new clocks. Oh it was the life haha. But randomly a couple days ago only 3G has showed up. I didn't say anything because I thought maybe it would go away. Its been almost a week. I've tried switching my theme, clear cache, and dalvik cache I have not tried reflashing the rom. Any suggestions on what to do?

This worked for me...Go to system settings click on more under data and wireless section make sure that the preferred network is cdma/lte and not the other standard cdma then I turned airplane mode on then off and I had 4g. A reboot may be required can't remember if I did

That's not a problem. It is just showing a more accurate symbol for what the phone is doing. The reason it stayed like that on GB was a placebo to make us all think we had H+ all the time. I like it this way because you know when its using the faster network. This was done on purpose.

Does it have no signal everywhere? Or does it seem to be localized to one tower? It might be a tmobile tower issue, maybe your getting refarmed.
I have signal now
And it just dropped...
I have another blaze but It was "defective" so I unrooted it ,used triangle away and flashed stock firmware so now it says Samsung official and my tracks are cleared but the replacement won't be here until Thursday and on my other blaze I had signal everywhere! Never dropped under 3 bars on that blaze, and on the current blaze I'm using now i rarely ever get above 2 bars and signal constantly drops
