[Q] Fring issues when flashing any other Rom/Kernal other than stock

I'm having issues with Fring force closing every time it try's to bring up the front facing camera in video calls. Now I know this thread usually wouldn't belong in Android Development, but it only happens when I'm not using the Stock Rom or Kernal. I've tried the Baked Snack ROM, Tha Boss Rom, & Andromeda Galaxy Rom and they are all exhibiting the same problem. Also, I've tried using the Kernals that come with each rom, and also the MixUP kernal and its the same thing. I'm not sure if its because of some conflict that occurs, or what. Is anyone having this problem?

I've had the same problem. Flashing back to stock did fix it.

have you guys tried clearing the data? just a thought.

I have the same issue, i have to flash to stock then flash a rom, if i flash more than one rom it force closes, then after flash to stock and nand droid backup sometime it will work and other times it wont, just seems to be hit or miss for me goodluck on getting it figured out

Good to know it's not just me. Thanks for the responses. It's my girls phone so I'll see which she prefers (Rooted/Rom'd/Kernaled or Fring). She'll probably choose Rooted though because of the better battery life. I'll keep an eye out for a fix.

Same with me in BOSS ROM v0.2

Yeah I think it's an issue with all the roms as of right now. Hopefully one of the Devs will take notice of this issue and work out a fix for us. Thanks in advance guys.

Add me to the list...using Andromeda and it gives me the FC everytime...going back to stock fixes it.
Thought I was the only one too...

Yep fring definitely doesn't work with custom roms, I have tried every possible combo and nothing helps. Stock looks like the only option so far

Rooted today, before I flash,

I ugraded to the Sensation from the original MyTouch 3g. When I rooted and flashed froyo, especially Cyanogenmod, I was no longer able to send MMS. Will this happen with my Sensation? The guy in the T-Mobile store said it was because the Mytouch was never meant to handle Froyo, so is that just it? Or should I not flash a custom rom?

Every custom rom has its quirks, most of the sensation roms are really stable, just make sure you have the appropriate kernal (which is most the time included in the rom itself) as well as the right firmware. If something doesn't work its likely that someone has had your same problem and it has already been fixed just search around. I am running vipers 1.1.0 sense 4.0 and it is great, the only thing that doesn't work is MHL (HDMI out) but not many people use that anyway. Here is the link for that rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547
Hit thanks if I helped.

I've ran just about every custom Rom for ICS there is and I've never had issues like that. Read the change logs of the developers and they will tell you EXACTLY what is working and what is not working. Most of the time mms is always working. Custom roms for the sensation have proven to be much more stable than stock roms and that's a fact! Sometimes the representatives of the providers love to tell you that there are incompatibility issues with roms when in fact they are wrong! Once I had a representative tell me custom roms are not updated or supported like stock roms what a joke that is. My roms have more support and updates than I've EVER seen with stock! When I was running stock I had force closes and random reboots all the time, I have NEVER had that on my custom Rom ! Also if an issue does arise the developers are right there and the community is eager to help resolve the problem! Oh yes I do recommend rooting! With stock your forgotten, with rooting you have a wonderful support system ! Also with rooting you can truly make your device your own with tons of customization ! I don't regret it for a second! I say go for it! Hope this helps!
Sometimes issues will arise with a Rom but usually can be worked out with a solution from the community. Remember to read the change logs this way you know exactly what your getting when flashing a Rom. The developers are very open when it comes to issues . I think you will be very happy with custom roms. Try several until you find one that fits your style and personal needs. Best of luck.

Clear Droid Q&A

As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.
So was it strange that I was never told this thread even existed and had no idea until just now? For anyone still having problems, a few troubleshooting techniques:
-When installing, are you sure you cleared cache and dalvik? If coming from a major release to a major release, did you do a full wipe instead?
-Are you using the proper radio, as posted in the first post of the thread?
-Are you using any task managers or antivirus apps?

i just flashed 1.2.11 to my phone which i decided to finally root after about 4 months, and i love it. I installed barnacle due to the stock hotspot debacle and when i go to use it it tells me that NAT is not connected. now here at work, where i am testing it, i dont have great connection but i can get 3g to work here. what does it mean when NAT does not connect?

Sorry, no answer here on the hotspot issue. Have you PMd Mister ClearD? He is very responsive and has been working hard on this whole hotspot issue... he'd likely be very interested in your problem.

I too am running 1.2.11, and am delighted with it. However, I am wondering if there is any way to get more volume out of the speaker for ringtones and alarms. I have them maxed out on the phone's adjustments, but it's still awfully quiet.

Michael look for an app called volume+ made by meltus I believe in the market. It works with gingerbread but not froyo. There is a few other fixes for the volume limit but I can't link them currently because I am on my phone. Do a search for it and it should come up. If someone doesn't post it up.

Thanks, got it and it does help!

i sent him a PM. if he gives an answer that works i will post it and let everyone know.

Hello,
Last night I flashed the latest ClearDroid ROM 1.1.51, but when I check under the software information menu, it says the Android version is 2.2.1
The flash seems to work because it says it's running Cleardroid.
Shouldn't it be running the Gingerbread (2.3) update or am I mistaken?
Also, the data connection seems to screw up, and only works when it wants. Sometimes ROM Manager will disappear from the apps menu.
I did a full wipe before flashing and it still won't work.
I also just flashed CoreDroid and it did update to 2.3 , but I want my stock HTC theme back!
Thanks!

The version 1.1.51 is still on froyo build but has the new ril for gingerbread. On the first page of the Dev post he has a link to the matching radio. Give it a flash and see if it helps with your data connection. If you want gingerbread his version 1.2.xx is the gingerbread Rom (still in beta), it has the fix for messaging but he is still working on tethering. It's still the stock look to the dot
On the app side I don't know what could be going on there, sorry I couldn't help on that point, (since I'm not having that particular error)

im personally running 1.2.12 RC2 which is his latest Beta, along with the suggested radio. i dont have any problems with network and it looks and behaves great while keeping that stock look. honestly i love this ROM. if you have any major questions just send ClearD a PM and he will get back to you. probably my favorite dev because he is so thorough and responsive to his followers.

to post my own answer ClearD told me that 1.2.12 has a working tether program. he is still working on making the stock tether work but for now the one he has included in the rom works great so no need for barnacle

Thanks Pytheous and Hiyabuz! I'll give the latest beta a shot because last night I flashed the rooted AT&T stock rom and my battery life improved but I'm still having data problems. Now I'm not sure if it's my cell company or the ROM that's causing the problems.
I'm afraid of flashing the radio and losing my signal completely!

This ROM, from what i can tell, is basically a stock ROM with all of the bloatware crap taken out, and a few cool gadgets added here and there. I love the ROM and the way it feels, but what i love the most is the responsiveness of the Dev for the ROM. If i have an issue i just send him a PM and he either sends me an answer or gets to work on it right away.
as for the radio i flashed the reccomended one on his original dev post and i actually get better signal in most places.

I also have another question of my own. i wanted to test out the GPS last night and it seemed a little more sluggish than stock. i could be immagining things but i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem also.

ok thanks buz. i just wanted to check
i only used it for about 3 min so it wasnt a very good judge of use

For example yesterday I retried mine first reconnect of gps after upping to new radio took 5 mins without vase and was sluggish. With case it took almost 10, today with case on first lock took 14secs with an 8 sat lock inside and using my case. its been awesome since he put in the gps fix. B4 it could take up to 30 mins for first lock without my case and it was only like 4 sats.

Noob here, I flashed the ClearDroid 1.2.12 rom a couple of days ago and love it. The only thing i want to change is the secure box in the messages menu. I would like to hide it or remove it, is it possible? Any help is appreciated, I did search I swear I did.

Will the Tiny audio fix work with this rom?

Issues with using latest gingerbread build.
Hello CleardDroid team;
I am a big fan your ROM, it works great on my phone. I have some serious issues using this ROM;
1) I am unable to compose message, when i try to compose message it force closes. I have tried alot to fix the issue but unable to resolve it. I have cleared its data, restarted it, fix the permissions using ROM manager, but failed to fix the issue.
2) Hotspot is not working, but I guess you are working on it.

[Q] Stock ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6] stable?

First of all, I am a iphone convert (this week) and bought an Infuse. love the phone and android. I am a noob and have a noob question:
I would love to upgrade to gingerbread and don't want to root. I believe I can do that with the stock ROMs. My question is a stock ROM such as ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6] 100% stable with everything working?
I use my phone for business so I can't have calls not come thru or other problems on it.
Any insight is appreciated.

I've installed every single stock leak there is (I hate ugly modded roms). KK3 is NOT the way to go. KK4 was just released and currently it's not rooted and runs beautifully. Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, data and phone are all working great. 9 times out of 10 the rooted versions suck anyways because they use a buggy kernal that wasn't meant for it. There's usually some kind of trade off with rooted roms so if you don't care about rooting, grab KK4 and flash with ODIN.

this is exactly the type of info I was looking for! Thanks! Is absolutely everything working on the KK4? all the apps and everything?

I've been playing with it all day and I have yet to find any issues. All apps work, no shutdowns, no lagging, no dropped wifi, no data switching, no bluetooth problems...nothing. Definately one step closer to "official".

the custom kernel is usually packaged so people have cwm and dont get in a panic not being able to flash out of the rom the same way they flashed it. if i knew how to repack the initramfs id give a shot at making a more stock kernel with cwm. but unfortunately like the rom chefs here i dont have that knowledge. you can absolutely have kk4 rooted without a rogers based kernel, it just means flashing twice. maybe ill fill that gap since flashing the stock kernel back to the phone is too much for many people to figure out. the phone retains root if you flash the stock kernel. what is going on is there is a script in the custom kernel that copies the su file and simlinks it while the phone boots in an insecure state. once root is there it stays unless you flash the rom. after the phone is rooted the kernel has zero effect on root privledges.

Can I add Venom Viper roms to this phone?

Ive had the CM9.1 r8 rom for a very long time but when my phone is around 40% battery life it reboots non stop that its gotten really annoying and frustrating for me because the fix is to charge the phone and if Im not home its a problem my phone is useless that I cannot use it anymore, as soon as I reboot and unlock the phone to send a txt or make a call itll reboot again. Anyway I want working roms with no bugs or glitches etc. Ive been googling some roms and stumbled on the Viper Venom rom but it said it was for another phone not the mytouch 4g slide. Is it possible to use other roms for other phones or is that a big no no? If so is there a working version for this phone?
If not can someone recommend a good working rom that does not drain the battery, lag, dodgy camera, wifi doesnt work etc?

Only a ROM that is specifically ported to THIS phone will work. You cannot just flash a ROM from another phone, that's a sure way to end up with a brick.
There are several ROMs here that a lot of people like. Personally, I use the Miktouch 0.7 ROM (with Liquid Smooth and Genius Button patches) because, like you, I want everything to work as it is supposed to work. It is a stock ROM that has been tuned and cleaned up to run smoother and faster. Though I like the look of some of the newer ROMs, especially the Jelly Bean ones, there's always a little quirk that is just enough to annoy me and make me go back to the Miktouch ROM. But, that's just my opinion, yours may be different.

Wrong section this is the dev section there is a question section people.

Ok thanks for the info and sorry for posting on the wrong section. Damn unlucky this rom does not work, I actually like the theme of it it looks really neat and clean for this phone. I just went to their offical website and they have a topic on the forum where the source code for this rom is kept private and you have to know how to make a rom and request permisson from them to grant you the source code and to also be a team member for them to port the rom to this phone orrrrrrrrr you have to send them your phone so they can experiment on it to make the rom for it. Just my luck Im not good at making roms I wish there was a way to learn I wouldnt mind trying to be a developer but it looks really difficult and not easy

CM9 R8 is really old too. there have been several updates to that rom since then

You mean cm-9-1-(3-0-74)-r11? I installed that last time but the wifi would not work for me, every time I tried to enable it nothing would happen. If I went to settings and tried to enable it from there again nothing would happen so I reverted back to R8

Are you S-On? If so, you must flash the kernel in bootloader separately from the ROM. WiFi not working is a classic example of the wrong kernel for the ROM.

Yeh I tried that few months ago and yesterday I flashed it 4 times. I even flashed r10 the older version twice and that too didnt work. Got it working eventually wow I didnt know I just had to keep trying to flash it till I got it working, looks ok now Ill give this rom a test and hope the battery life is better than r8. So far everything seems to be working no bugs or crashes
