I've searched the forum, and I've read the threads related to CM11 for Xoom that I was able to find. If I missed the answer to this somewhere, please redirect me to it.
I have a Stingray / MZ602 device for which I no longer use Verizon's service. It is a WiFi Xoom for all intents and purposes.
Historically, I recall that Wingray ROM's would work on Stingray devices, just the mobile data wouldn't exist. However, upon trying to install CM11 4.4.2 Wingray ROM on the Stingray I get a massive amount of FC's upon booting the device. I can't even get my Google account signed in because Google Play Services FC's at launch. I have tried the Feb. 16th, March 9th and March 12th versions of the ROM and have the same failed results.
The reason I want the Wingray ROM instead of Stingray is because even with Mobile Data toggled off the lockscreen still displays "Searching for Service" and various mobile-data related services are eating 12-15% of the battery on a daily basis. And that's WITH mobile data toggled off.
Any suggestions on what I can do to get Wingray to install, or otherwise solve the data-using-battery issue?
Thanks.

The what is really informative?
The title is clear: Stingray device with a Wingray ROM. It's a Xoom (explicitly stated, and implied by the Stingray/Wingray reference.) It's CM11, Android 4.4.2.
The body is clear: I state my goal (use less battery, stop searching for cellular data signal.) I state my attempt to resolve the issue (install Wingray ROM on a Stingray device.) I state that this worked historically, but does not for this ROM. I stated my attempt to search and inquired for search suggestions/links if I simply missed it. And I request advice for resolution.

Great advice! I thought of turning off the mobile data but not full airplane (then turn on what I actually use). This removed the "Searching for Service" warning on the lock screen (which was an annoyance - I like a clean screen). "Cell Standby" in battery stats has been greatly reduced from the 12-15%, but it still eats around 4-5%.
Not a huge deal, I get pretty decent battery life. More of an annoyance at this point and something I probably wouldn't be aware of had I not been so hell-bent on getting the "Searching for Signal" removed from the lock screen.
There is an answer

I have a Verizon 3G MZ600 That I am running with wingray roms. For the most part these seem to be working pretty well. The latest cm11 Big Part Roms seem to be far more stable (March 17,19,21,23)than the earlier ones. However, there seem to be issues with a lot of Google apps. Honestly though, as I've check out all of the "stable" upgrades, I find that the Omnirom Roms seem to be more stable and are more compatable with Google apps, with much less chance of crashing than the CM11 Roms. I have no issues with searching for service, and with my screen running at full brightness, my CPU at 1700 I'm running a solid 11,500 on Antutu, and getting a real 5½-6½ hours, solid, hard work out of my battery on a full charge.
There are a lot of programs that don't work or play well with either CM11, or Omnirom yet. Just give our developers time. (They're really good guys). Pay close attention-You and I may be able to see some of the things that would help them produce even better custom roms in the future, or that we could even learn enough from them to help them with the programming ourselves
Thanks for the reply, Kingsman1

I absolutely agree! The developers are fantastic. By no means did I intend anything that I said to come as negative towards them nor their product. It's a minor annoyance, but absolutely not a problem. :good:
Hanging tight with Stingray CM11 for now. I should have time in a couple weeks to run through some fun testing with the device. The other odd problem that's keeping me from doing it now is that BigPart/TWRP's nandroid's fail to restore and I can't do without the tablet at the moment.
I do wonder if I should give ART a shot just to play though. But now I'm just rambling.
**I hope this doesn't come off as defensive. Truly, I'm appreciative of their product and wanted to add extra praise into it.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use tasker to flick wifi off and on when wifi drops and/or 3g activates. Lately it seems on my phone that when I go out of wifi range and the 3g/4g connects the last wifi spot is remembered and almost acts like it is still in range causing issues when trying to connect to the next spot. I already installed the 7 day trial but haven't had as much time to research as I thought. Sound possible? Wasting my time?

What ROM are you on? I haven't had any of the problems like you describe since moving to Gingerbread.
Sorry, still stock. I keep thinking about flashing a rom but like others I am hoping for an official release soon with all the updates/leaks. Also this is my first android phone and I don't have total confidence in flashing it. For instance for whatever reason rooting using the "regular" method didn't work and had to use superoneclick. The latest rom thread also seems like a bit of a hodge-podge of things needed to get everything working....no disrespect intended to the individuals working on it.

Superoneclick is the "Regular" method for most people...
Infused 2.x had a few rough patches as he tried to integrate UCKI3/I4 stuff to fix the known issues with the Rogers release, but that has settled down as people have figured out what's broken in I3/I4 and what's not.
Serendipity VII is still stable, Mikey didn't rush to bring in the I3/I4 stuff. If you flash it, you'll have the following issues:
No audio on first call after boot - toggling speaker on/off will fix it (Hellraiser known issue)
No HDMI (won't see this until AT&T releases Gingerbread)
Data speed issues (However the Hellraiser beta9 kernel or my DD kernel may improve this - I am STILL waiting for someone in an area with good speeds to do an A/B comparison between old/new kernels.)
Camera limited to 15 FPS video - but you can flash the UCKI3 camera libs to fix this, there's a separate flashable package with its own thread in the dev section
None of the above bother me significantly (In fact as I live in the boonies and shoot with an SLR, the data speed and camera issues don't bother me at all), so I have been on S7 for a while.
In general you will find that there are VERY few people here running stock Froyo any more.
Good news is that if you screw up, Samsungs are VERY easy to restore to stock. Download mode (aka Odin/Heimdall mode) is awesome.

I guess that is where doubt started setting in about whether I should start flashing the phone or not. Both stickied root threads point to the rage against the cage method and one points to superoneclick being the old method. Thanks for all the info. I wasn't aware off the 30fps fix since I don't frequent the development threads. I honestly haven't had the time to do the necessary research if I get stuck so I have stayed stock.
Back on topic, I did get a chance to look up the some things in tasker and will try it out at work tomorrow since this is where it seems I have the most trouble. I'll post back if it works.
Hey guys,
With the communities help, I've rooted my phone, and have begun experimenting with roms, I'm pretty excited about all this -- but so far, I haven't found one yet that meets my needs.
The only roms I could even find are the ones linked to by this thread. But I can't comment there because I'm an uber-n00b. **** yeah, n00b status! XD
So here's some of the issues I'm having, maybe someone can point me in the right direction:
I'm using CWM to flash roms, and I can't flash the "Debloated Jelly Bean stock image" linked to in that thread, CWM tells me there's an error in the zip halfway through. Though if I do an "unzip -test" on it from the command line, it verifies okay -- so I'm guessing the package is either borked, or intended to be used differently than how I'm trying to use it.
That being said, I've had great success flashing the unofficial, and experimental Cyanogen 10.1s -- but none of them that I have tested have all of the features I want working. Is there a recommended version? The features I want are pretty basic things:
First and foremost: Wi-Fi tethering (I'd pay for it if T-mobile had an option for it, but they don't -- not on unlimited anyway -- and I always hit my data-cap even without tethering, if I went on a non-unlimited plan, it would cost me $20/more a month and for about the last 10-15 days of each month I'd be stuck on EDGE/2G -- to me, that's unacceptable.)
Being able to connect to Wi-Fi networks (obviously not at the same time as tethering, but I expect both to work).
GPS
Bluetooth!! (The latest "stable" the Unofficial 13-03-09 does not appear to be able to connect to my headset.)
The Stock Clock: Alarms App (Also seems to be broken in the 13-03-09 release.)
And obviously: Calling, Texting, Camera, Flashlight
Basic Battery Stuff (Latest "stable" and nightlies both have issues with determining if the battery charger is connected or not, reboot seems to fix it most of the time).
The one thing I don't use (that I know about) on my phone is NFC. I like the idea of NFC, especially to pay for things, I just have never bothered to **** with it to set it up.
So, Is there a list of the nightlies and like some quick indicators that say which key features are working or not? If not, I might be willing to set one up for the most recent ones (at least until I find one that has features that I want all working more or less). If this already exists though, it would be a great time saver. If not, is anyone willing to help me set this up? The testing will go a lot better with >1 person testing things.
I figure stock does almost everything I need except tethering, but I can't figure out how to get the debloated stock rom on, and installing the tethering fix for regular stock (or Cyanogen for that matter) just makes the phone not boot.
Thanks for reading, any thoughts / comments -- and even moreso: answers -- are greatly appreciated. [And hopefully, none of the above is taken as criticism to anyone, as it's not meant that way, clearly, I'm a little frustrated, but I'm also very much excited to be finally modding my phone, and it wouldn't be possible without all the community support that has gone into this development!]
DERP
OH MAN! I just flashed the MC5 modem; BLUETOOTH WORKS NOW ON THE UNOFFICIAL 2013-03-09 RELEASE!
I haven't tested everything yet, but pretty much everything seems to be working now it seems!!! :good::good::fingers-crossed::good::good:
Man, I wish this was all in a guide somewhere so that I wouldn't have to stumble around in the dark like this. :silly:
Hi,
so I have had a rooted phone for a while now, but I'm starting to get tired of the stock ROM so I thought I'd try something different. I've spent a couple of hours looking through these forums and I can't see the difference between the different cyanogenmod implementations, i.e. skrilax, dhacker and epinter all seem to have slightly different versions? Anyway, I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a good ROM to use for a long period of time, say a month or so, without crashing *much*. I need bluetooth and camcorder working too, these also seem to be issues with some of them.
Alternatively, links some posts that help me better get my bearings on what's what would be well appreciated
Thanks
If you go with CyanogenMod, I would recommend using skrilax's builds since they are released every night and it works with the CM updater built into the ROM.
Camcorder works fine and Bluetooth is mostly OK, but I sometimes get random reboots while using Bluetooth headphones. Not sure if it's still a known issue or just some weird thing with my setup.
Also, your location says Melbourne, so I'm assuming you have the xt925? That might factor into some people's answers a little bit.

spot on
Anyway, thanks for the reply, but I was about to flash skrilax's ROM when I realised you said IF I choose cyanogenmod... is there a better alternative? I'd like something that's fast (unlike the stock rom is now -.-) and doesn't kill the battery, and some new features to play around with would be nice.
It really all depends on what you want. Some other ROMs like Paranoid Android, MIUI, AOKP, etc have more features than CM, but CM has always been rock solid from my experience (this phone and my previous one).
Doesn't hurt to experiment a little, either, as long as you keep nandroid backups handy.
I haven't heard any reports of significant increases in battery life on custom roms. I wonder if this is the case?
I actually would like to know what the longest screen on time and or standby time a person achieved with underclocking / undervolting etc.

I just began trying out custom ROMS for my new Relay yesterday (because as we all know the Stock T-Mobile ROM is practically useless!)
After reading the positive comments here I wanted to try Carbon ROM (especially because battery life is very important to me and I heard it was great on Carbon) but couldn't find any download links anywhere.
I first tried both versions of Slimkat posted here. While I loved the slick simplicity of it, I immediately encountered various problems with both versions. (Especially re wifi connection. Also Youtube videos played back garbled).
I don't plan to be a modding enthusiast, I just want to flash a great stable ROM once and for all. After researching some more, I gathered that for pure stability a lot of people recommended official CM 10.2. I flashed that and so far have been very impressed by the professional-grade stability. (The only problem I have is that the phone will not show 4G or LTE for mobile data connection - I don't know if this is because it simply considers the connection available where I live not to be 4G or LTE or whether there is actually a problem. In any case I am getting steady download speeds of around 1 Mbps so not too fussed).
However, all things being equal, it would obviously be nice to get to a stable Kitkat based ROM before I stop flashing ROMS and get stuck into enjoying my phone. If I could get better battery life that would be a major bonus too. (Not that it seems too bad on CM 10.2).
So...is there is a version of Carbon KK for this phone that would suit my needs? (no need to be cutting edge with features, just want stability and battery life). If so, if anybody could be kind enough to host the ROM and corresponding Gapps i would appreciate it so much, as the download links for the ROM in R3v3nt3ch's thread are down.
Thanks very much if anyone can help me
I'm actually planning to rebuild all Roms for relay here soon...I have moved to the g2 but I still support relay.... Plain Andy once its redone will prolly be your most stable rom....also relay does not get LTE...it gets h+ which is pretty much 4g

Thanks so much for your speedy response Will try Plain Andy once it's up. So do you think that would have the edge over the best Carbon build for stability and battery life?
Yes...plus I just redid my kernel and improved a few battery related things
Cm11 build 27/09 from topic below (build by an employee of cyanogenmod), 03/08 build was also very good .I never had crashes, battery life is amazing, more then 24hours to use.
Edit: this should be in q & a.
Awesome - will eagerly look forward to the new Plain Andy then! Difficult question to answer as it's creator, but do you reckon the new version would stand up to CM 10.2 in terms of out of the box stability? Also, to really increase battery life, is there any reason not to run an app like JuiceDefender on Plain Andy?
Ps - Thanks also for the clarification on the 4G issue - I guess on the stock rom T-Mobile decided to label the H+ as 4G.

Thanks robuser007 - Ok definitely intrigued to try that version of CM11 based upon your reccomendation while I wait for the Plain Andy update. However, forgive me if i'm being thick, but I couldn't extract a working link from your sig. Any chance you could point me in the right direction for a download for that particular ROM and the corresponding Gapps? Thanks so much!

Moved to Q&A, thanks.
OmniToad also has been very stable, and really has been since the first 4.4 releases. The latest 4.4.4_0003 release sports very nice battery life due to the inclusion of patches to stop Google's Apps from draining battery quite so badly.

The "4G" displayed by the stock T-Mobile ROM is a marketing gimmick. Basically, they labeled 3G coverage as 4G, even though only dual carrier HSPA+ comes even close to 4G speeds. Over on Howard Forums this practice is commonly referred to as "Faux-G."
The phone never has supported LTE - it was released at a time when T-Mobile had zero LTE coverage.
10.2 isn't polished. Upgrade to KitKat. That is, unless you like your bluetooth cutting out when you use wifi.
Then, there's the heartbleed problem every time you use a hotspot.
Upgrade.
Yeah, I installed Omintoad a few weeks ago and am 95% delighted with it! (Thanks for the tip Magamo). The only problem with it is a couple of audio playblack glitches here and there (see here )
Waiting for the upcoming release of the latest version of PlainAndy which will hopefully match the battery life and stability of this Omnitoad ROM without those audio probs...
I saw a new "nightly" has been pushed out for the Relay. Based on the changelog (fixing integer overflows and underflows), this looks like a fix for Stagefright.
I've updated from within the 20150607 nightly, and so far, everything looks good. My GPS and camera still work fine, and I didn't bother toggling any settings before updating.
At least I have ONE phone with a Stagefright fix. It's kind of ironic that it's the oldest of my Androids.
After looking through the various codebases of Omnirom and CM, it looks as though Omni's android-5.1 branch, and cm's 11.0, 12.0 and 12.1 branches all have the stagefright fixes. I did not look at anything any earlier than that for CM, and I can confirm that anything earlier in Omni than 5.1.1 will not have the fixes.
So I guess it's time to bite the bullet and do the double-twist-and-backflip GPS fix. Let me go over this for a moment, to get it straight.
I need a new CWM recovery, latest'n'greatest.
I need and old 10.1 or maybe 10.2 ROM image.
I need the old baseband firmware to go with the old ROM image.
Is this the full list?
There have been numerous links to all three of these, but I tried last week, and at least some of them have gone stale. Does anyone have a current and working set of links for them?
My wife's Relay is still at CM11M8, and really it's about time I got her properly flashed forward, especially now with Stagefright and Freak both fixed. We've locked out on Stagefright so far because we have voice-only through PureTalkUSA, only do data on wifi, and therefore don't do MMS.
GPS fix:
You need a CM10.1 build (Only ones ever produced were 'experimental'), the ICS stock baseband (modem) and the JB stock baseband. Recovery doesn't particularly matter, so long as you can flash images, but I still recommend the CWM that has been around for a while (I've tested it, it works fine even with upcoming Images)
Procedure:
Boot into recovery, run a full backup on your device.
flash ICS baseband
Flash CM10.1 Image
Factory Reset
Boot into system (Not sure if this is needed, but I always do.)
Once system boots up, shut system down.
Open phone, pull battery.
Wait ~30 seconds, replace battery.
Boot phone.
Once system boots up, (If you have a way to test it, GPS should work now). Reboot into recovery.
Flash JB baseband.
Restore your system backup.
Reboot into system. Your GPS should now work with your current system.
I posted a reply into a thread, there was an up to date link with just the modem... I can confirm that running on CM nightly (june something) I have no issues with GPS, wifi 2.4ghz band doesnt work with bluetooth enabled though
Last night I bumped both my wife's and my Relays to the latest nightly. There was a new version of clockworkmod recovery posted, so I flashed that, first.
My wife's phone is a bit of an odd one, on two counts. First, it was still at M8 with working GPS. So before doing anything, I went out in the yard, got a GPS lock (using M8), and pulled the battery. I then brought it inside, put the battery back in, and did the flashing. After that, I was able to again take it out in the back yard and get a GPS lock, this time with the latest nightly. (I've done it once, I hope it will work again.)
The second thing about my wife's phone is that it's acting really oddly. Most of the time when the screen blanks, it won't come back. None of the buttons will light the screen. Eventually long-pressing the power button will reboot it. I've verified that when in this "stuck dark" situation I can plug it in and run adb commands against it, so there's a light on in there, it's just that the curtains are drawn. With this in mind, I'm not sure what the story is about getting it to reboot.
My next step would be to search for any settings that might cause this behaviour. It's also giving me the yellow triangle in the notifications, and when I open it, it takes me to some sort of time-date settings area, but I'm not sure what's wrong there. It's possible that a timing problem could cause the symptoms I'm seeing - I'm not sure. My other option is a full wipe.

Funny, two people in Burlington using the Relay?? I haven't touched mine in a while but I'm itching for something different and I'm sick of my Xperia's stock firmware. I'm gonna give this new build a shot...

I got my Relay about a year and a half ago for Christmas, mostly as a learning vehicle, but also for the convenience. The plan from the get-go was to put Cyanogenmod on it. For a while it was wifi-only, then a few months later my wife decided she wanted one, and I found the Family Flex Plan at PureTalkUSA that let us have two phones for the the cost of a Virgin Mobile and TracFone. (What we had before) It's also one of the few ways to get voice-only, and use wifi for data.
The Relay is getting a bit long in the tooth, and perhaps most discouraging "aging" side of it is the ramp-down here. However anything I get will be CM-ready from the get-go.
Flashed the latest CM11 nightly today. No major bugs so far with moderate use throughout the day. So much faster than my Xperia with the stock firmware, actually enjoying Android again.

I had been running M8 since it came out until last weekend. Decided to do a complete wipe and try for the newest nightly to fix the Stagefright bug. Things went real smooth. GPS is working faster than ever.
Everything runs like a dream... except the adaptive light sensor. Adaptive brightness is not working at all. I've check the sensors and the Lux sensor is working fine. If I turn on adaptive brightness, and then adjust, the settings crash. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
Yeah that is one thing that I have noticed as well, the auto brightness doesn't work. Can't say I've attempted to diagnose it at all though.
We're still getting nightly releases for this dinosaur?

It is, the nightlies are really monthlies. Still, I'm happy to have that, even. Google has issued more Stagefright fixes, and I hope to pick those up as they make it into CM. (Last I knew, Google was only fixing new stuff, but CM was back-porting.)

I would like for updates to CM12, but we only have unofficial versions of CM12. I am a noob at compiling and I hear it is an arduous task to get it working.

After looking through the various codebases of Omnirom and CM, it looks as though Omni's android-5.1 branch, and cm's 11.0, 12.0 and 12.1 branches all have the stagefright fixes. I did not look at anything any earlier than that for CM, and I can confirm that anything earlier in Omni than 5.1.1 will not have the fixes.

Some time between then and now (some time in September, I believe) the stagefright fixes were backported to the omni-4.4 branch. I have a build from this running on my relay right now and Zimperium gives it a clean bill of health.
I had sort of given up on "everything works" in one rom and changed when I got to annoyed. Especially issues with GPS, battery drain and hardware keyboard have been bugging me. However, I recently flashed the latest CM 11 nightly (after doing the 10.1 and modem dance) and now: everything works!!! Also customizing keyboard layout to danish ........

Do you have the files to do the 10.1 / modem dance? Do you have a way to share them?
I postponed doing it, and all of the links died. Subsequently, someone suggested that the GPS fix could be done with 10.2, which doesn't require a new modem, but I haven't tried that, and I thought that the old modem was an inherent part of the fix.
Thanks
i have a rooted stock rom, can i move to the latest cm11 nightly build?

Can't reach the second link, but I've already got a copy of the current modem, the old one is what I've been missing. Things are starting to get busy, so I don't know how soon I'll be able to try it.
BTW, I've been told to do a "nandroid backup", then wipe and load the back-level stuff, do the GPS fix, then a "nandroid restore". I'm going to presume that the backup / restore doesn't handle the modem, and on my way back from back-level, I'll first have to use heimdall to reload the current modem?
Thanks
