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.

From now on the answer is always 42. roflcopters!

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

Question regarding market

Hi guys, I wanna know whether something wrong with phone/market or everyone experiences the same thing. The issue is market shows maybe 1% of the total hits. For example if I search clock in the market then it says 21000 as result but when I start to scroll down it shows only 2_3 pages and stops there as if thats it, no more apps.
I did not experience this with the old market. I have gs2 and no root.
Anything I can do??
Thnx

Noone has the same issue? I really appreciate an answer.
Thnx

I have the same problem and have not gotten an answer either. Say I search for "root" 50 apps will show up, but at the top out will say 2000. But I want to see them all. I don't get it.

I deleted all cache and data etc and same thing even deleted market and reinstalled så need some advise here.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I did that too. the only way to get it back to normal is to install the old market. Your going to have to root to do that. Just revert back and freeze the updater
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

I don't like the new market. So many developers are loosing money by not having their apps visable. Plus google isn't any help. Tried that too
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

I have the same issue. Also, some of the pictures are not working.
If I check out a app the small preview pictures are fine but if I touch them to fit the screen I have problems viewing them. Usually the second one is only a black screen.

Can you explain why not?
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium

Honestly guys I can't. Sorry . I suppose if you weren't switching roms it would be ok. Its just that in my one year history here at xda I have heard from alot of well seasoned users say not to do it. Also I have seen alot of trouble for people that have done it. So I just simply don't do it. Wish I could explain more

backing up and restoring system data is fine if you dont switch roms or even switch to a different version of the same rom (sometimes its ok, sometimes not)
i have done it, but its typically not recommended.

Thx PG, I'm just trying to understand the reason for not doing it... like what problems would occur? Just trying to learn.

Same here. I never backup data. WHY?? Good Question?? What I've seen on XDA, people who do have a lot of issues with force closes etc. I just use it to back up my Apps so I don't have to do them one by one.

if you backup system data from one rom and restore to another, when you reboot you will get nothing but force closes. you will have to reflash your rom to fix it.
if you are flashing the same version of the rom and just want all your stuff the same, it shouldnt affect anything

USER data is perfectly safe to backup. i get sick of so many people spreading untruths around about TiBu (i have seen tons)....backing up and restoring USER DATA AND APPS is perfectly fine. I have been using Titanium Backup for over a year and a half and have had more mobile devices in that timeframe than most have ever had in their lives, and every one of them i was able to use Titanium Backup to restore apps+data from OTHER devices to each other. hell, i share the same TiBu folder between my gs2, incredible s, and my vivid right now. then i have a modified version of the same folder for my galaxy tab (removed all phone-related apps)

^^^^^ this
I've migrated app backups through 3 different android phones, no problems. As for system data, bad idea. Entering your email address is far easier than reflashing a rom because of fc's

Rom with video out for Captivate?

Hey all... I'm going on vacation this weekend and wanted to bring my Captivate with me to use as a media player attached to my car's video system. I haven't used this phone for a few months now (upgraded to a new phone), so I'm wondering which of the newer Roms have the video out (or is it called TV out?) feature working? Would anyone recommend one over another? Phone features are unimportant, as the only thing I'll be using it for are video and maybe music. Rather than flashing a bunch of Roms, I thought I'd ask the forum to see if anyone has used this feature lately and can confirm that it works on "Rom _____"
Thanks in advance!

I currently have my Captivate on Stock KK4, with Root and debloated...at work now but can check it out for ya this evening hopefully...and i will let ya know. That is, if u r interested in stock and/or dev roms.

Multi Rom Boot S III

Is there any way to run multiple roms on the Galaxy S3?
Say I want to boot and pick from PARANOIDANDROID Hyperdrive RLS14 Liquid smooth or any other one. Maybe run some off the ext SD would be nice as well. Can you do this? I search and couldn't find it, if there is a post can someone let me know. Not even sure if this is possible.. lol But would be sweet..
Thanks very much..

I would say yes, theoretically, since there seems to be enough space on the system partition for 2-3 roms. And this has been done for awhile on the iPhone (dual booting Android/iOS) but I'm no developer, so I don't know for sure

I'm hoping so. We were able to with the DROID X but who knows. It'd be pretty cool

I haven't seen an option for dual boot or triple boot. I had that ability on my nook color and always liked it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

But I don't think you can run them off of the Ext SD Card, since it's data steam is slower in the way it's mounted
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

They have this for the droid 3 I came from, its called safe strap and it was pretty cool for trying out new roms and not worrying about bricking but it was for bypassing locked bootloader though. You can find out about it in the d3 forum but it would be nice to have something like that since we have so many ROMs to choose from.

Used to have this on my dinc2. App was called boot manager. Doesn't work with the s3 though....

Count me in as well for this feature
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Pretty sure the people who made the app stopped updating it, it was called boot manager.
I used it on my dx, bought the paid version and gave up. It wasn't really made for a locked up phone, you had to be running a cm based rom to dual boot, it was more hassle that it was worth.
Just make backups.
