List of issues with AOSP rom's

There are a bunch of AOSP rom's for our phone, most of them share the same issues since it's the same code, with slight differences based on which commits they've added. I'm hoping we can list the common issues in one thread as a reference.
1. Data handoffs between 3g/4g - I believe this is now fixed in most of them after the RIL patches, right?
2. Call volume - This CM10 commit (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/24564/) should fix this. Not in most rom's yet
3. Bluetooth pairing, call connect, streaming - does this work fully in any AOSP rom?
4. Sleep of death
5. Wakelock caused after playing media (DirectTrack)
6. Camera issues, like save to sd. The JB mod camera hasn't been updated yet.
7. Misc battery life issues - are most of these due to #5?
8. Activation issues after a flash
9. Low video recording volume
10. Notification light problems
11. 160 char sms limit, MMS doesn't work
12. Problems waking up with home button
13. Screen redraw issues (these can be fixed by turning off hardware overlays, but that increases cpu consumption)
I think it would be very helpful if we could track which rom's had which fixes merged, since otherwise it's hard to tell without asking in each thread, doing a lot of searches, and trying out.

Slimbean:
-Wake lock issue still seams to be an issue, battery life is bad
-notification light not working when call/text/email etc come in. Will be patched on next release
-data seams stable enough (ril patch is active on most recent build)
-horrible battery life
-call volume will be patched on next release
-home button to wake up phone is hit or miss
-odd screen glitches every now and then (fully live withable)
-mms sending takes forever, needed several reboots to even get it to work
-if usb fast charge is available in your kernel, it has a toggle for it in the notification tray (awesome)
-did I mention the battery life is bad?
-soft key light options do not work
I'll report more as I find them. I like these threads, good call.

Great idea for a thread!
Add low video recording in all AOSP Roms. As far as I know this has not been fixed yet.

- continuous WiFi connectivity issues (none of the AOSP roms worked reliable for me)

I am using slimbean 2.5 and I am getting anywhere from 16 to 24 hours of battery life on a single charge (3-4 hours of screen) which is about normal for any AOSP/AOKP based rom.

I actually made a similar list, but deals with comparing TW quirks to AOSP quirks:
Touchwiz VS. AOSP
Touchwiz:
- No Bluetooth and Aux input simultaneously
- Wallpaper Cropping forced to non-scrolling
- No way to disable auto volume reduction upon headset plug-in
- God awful front end interface design (this is more of an opinion)
- Google Music will randomly stop working, requires screen to be turned on for it to start playing the next track
AOSP:
- Volume Quirks (upon reboot, media volume will play quiet regardless of where the slider is, if maxxed you must turn it down and then up again similar to the call volume issue)
- Call Volume at Max every call (wasn't this fixed recently?)
- Wrongly uses noise reduction mic for recording (thus quieter)
- Inferior Camera (features mainly)
- Worse battery life
- Sometimes drops data
- Not as buttery as ICS for some reason (recents excluded)
- Will frequently kill background apps, making 2GB of ram somewhat pointless
- Bluetooth streaming issues (This doesn't personally affect me but I thought I'd throw it in anyway)
Basically, the one with the shorter list wins. So, I'm on TW for now but I yearn for the AOSP list of quirks to shrink.

I've been told this has been fixed, but I still experience it. Is there a workaround for this currently?

I believe that there is a big tracker which is linked to on the irc chat. I would link to it but I'm not at my pc.perhaps someone could do so?

This 1? http://tinyw.in/25QW

Number 6 is not really a problem. It's all based on personal preference.
Number 1 was fixed. Sleep of death could be kernel and/or clock speed settings. Mms works fine. There is a fix somewhere for direct track. Battery issues? Umm mines been perfect. That could be contributed to people not knowing what's causing wake locks and not fixing it. Not sure how anybody is getting screen redraws I haven't disabled hardware overlay and mine is fine, using apex if that makes a difference.
Most if not all of those issues are non existent in liquid smooth.

Hope this is the right spot to post this question. I tried flashing 2 separate roms today (Slim Rom and Liquid Smooth) which I believe are both AOSP, but I could be wrong. On both occasions, it starts to boot and gets to the google account login screen and the screen on the phone just keeps flickering and goes black.
I am unlocked, obviously rooted, with CWM 6.0.1.1 and have flashed JB TW rom in the past with no problems but went back to TW ICS, which I am currently running now.
Anyone know or direct me to the right thread as to why the screen flickering happens after flashing these AOSP roms? I haven't tried CM10 yet because these other roms actually sound more stable than CM10 right now.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Disable hardware overlay in developer options

That might work, but I cannot even get into the OS to disable anything. It is completely unusable when I flash any of these roms.
Would there be something out there that I could flash in CWM to disable this in the rom pre-boot?

Nothing that I know of sorry.

One of the main reasons I don't use any AOSP roms is because of the bluetooth sync issue. In two of my cars, it will sync for the first time, but any other time I get in the car it won't pair up. I have to manually connect it every single time.

wifi errors, i get out of range and or wps failed on any aosp rom.

I find that signal is just not as strong as compared to Touchwiz roms.

ROM: CM10 M2
Using Android Pro Widgets (the APW People widget in particular), it lags (the widget, not the ROM). Anyone run into this issue? Not a big problem, just curious.

Any word on when the call volume is going to be merged into the CM10 build for d2vzw

cm 7.2 problem

I have problem with rom cm 7.2. This rom is the best, but i have a problem with display usage battery, i have a 70% usage. Brightness i have a low level and still is this problem, and my battery drain a very fast with using. Help me please

bump

I have the same issue. I found that on stock Rom the main reason of battery drain so fast was dialer, now on cm7 display take about 50%

Try CM9... battery works for up to 2 days at normal use... Instead of the lopusy 12 hours on stock and cm7...

on cm9 i have this same

Since I am not allowed to post in development section (new user, 10 posts rule) this thread title is the closest one to my questions. I am currently on latest CM7 rom (thanks adlx.xda) and I am facing some issues.
First of all, the rom itself is great. It would be nice to update it with the latest sources. I tried all versions and in the last one there is a huge scrolling lag that was not present in the previous versions (one can see this in browser, opera mini etc. when scrolling down or up with physical keys). I think it has something to do with framework, but not sure. I ported another CM7 rom from various different phones, using adlx's as a base, and those didn't have that lag, but I couldn't remove the default on-screen keyboard because when I remove it the sym key when pressed keeps popping up to select input method.
Speaking of keyboard, when I use browser or any other browser (except opera) the key "enter" will not open the selected link. It will do nothing. This is only on CM7 and SuperOSR. It is working properly on stock, CM9 and CM10. This is very much needed since sometimes I am having trouble opening a link with my big fingers so I use the arrows to select a link and enter to open a link. I have tried to play with the keypad files but without much success.
The last issue I was having has something to do with the camera. I don't care about the front cam, I believe 90% of us doesn't care about it as well. But I was having issues with flash. It is out of sync most of the times. It works, but it is not in sync with the actual moment of taking the pictures so most of the times my pictures are dark and sometimes not visible at all. But I can live with that, just wanted to point it out.
Adlx, I hope you read the general section, and I would really appreciate if you could give me some pointers about keypad files and why enter button when I try to open a link with it is not working only in those two roms.
Best regards.

Little bump. Still need 2 more posts

[Q] Which kernels were compatible with CM10?

So,
I've gotten use to CM10. For months after EOS4 came around, it was ungodly slow. Even after switching off the media scanner, using a custom kernel, etc... the UI FR and general responsiveness was extremely lacking. It seems that it's been the Go-To ROM of choice for many, many months now, and the performance situation may have changed, but i'm hesitant to flash it, even if the only reason is that everything works great, other than a bit of bitrot here and there with CM10-- which brings me to my issue:
KAT kernel (version 69, of course (haha! seriously outdated)) seems to blow out my YouTube DPI, which can be fixed simply by setting the DPI to 150 or so n XPosed, and a quick dirty flash/ update kills the bitrot i run into every couple months...this time, however, i was clearing space, and organizing my .zips, when i decided it would be a brilliant idea to put all my AOSP ROMs together, all my mods & themes/addns together, and all my kernels together. The issue is, I cant for the life of me remember which kernel, and kernel version i was using! Besides the funky DPI behavior, KAT also introduces an extreme degree of video ghosting and stuttering.
I've tried a couple older kernels, but often, I'd find out the kernel was for ICS, and I'd be stuck at the boot screen.
Can someone please point me in the direction of 1-2 CM10 Kernels?
Bonus round: have the EOS issues been fixed definitively. Or do you still have to bang yuor head against the wall, look t your tablet upside down, and do some voodoo on it to get it workng?

I have never had issues like they with EOS4, so I cannot say if your issues are still around. Most users who have issues with EOS I believe did not do a factory reset, or restored system settings with Titanium Backup.
But, I would try the KatKernel 103 lidpatch CM10.1 version:
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/kernel/Tim_KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch_CM10.1.zip
Edit - this is a cm10.1. If you are still on CM10, 69/70 are the most recent compatible ones.

[Q] Instagram - purple video on lollipop roms

When lollipop builds were first released for the one, there were tons of bugs. Since then much of them have been cleaned up. I've had two consistent problems, through at least 4 different roms.
1) recording video, and you hit stop. It doesnt stop, it just hangs and keeps recording until you force close and lose your recording. It doesnt appear to be happening in this rom however. So this is solved.
2) The current issue I'm having is that no matter which lollipop rom I use, if I try and take video using the built in camera, it shows heavy people static and can't take the video. I have multirom recovery installed, but I'm only using the primary rom. And I've now switched to AK kernel thinking maybe it was a kernel issue... But to no avail.
Anyone have any tips? I'm at wits end. Only happens with instagram.
Currently running a fresh install of darkobass, with ak kernel...
But it's also happened on CR droid, 2 of the first cm12 daily builds that released, blisspop, and on paranoid android that I just tried before darko.

Mi Note 10 Black Screen Delay Issues [PLEASE HELP]

The phone is 2 years old, unlocked it a few months ago to play APK apps that required rooting.
Phone started lagging after that a bit, eventually it updated to MIUI 12, when the phone drastically started lagging.
I tried installing ArrowOS custom ROM, hoping that it would fix the issue, assuming that MIUI 12 is too heavy for the phone to handle - nope.
The problems started to occur more often and new issues started appearing.
Current major issues:
* Screen delay when trying to unlock with fingerprint / power button.
* Black screen / unresponsive screen on power button press.
* Notifications don't show up (black screen).
* When someone calls me -> phone vibrates/rings but the screen is black.
* Double tap to wake up -> black screen.
^All of the issues mentioned above that contain the black screen problem, sometimes but rarely the phone is responsive but it's like 2 times out of 20.
Things I have tried:
- Turn off all animations from Developer Options.
- Wipe Data / Dalvik Cache / Phone Cache / Factory Reset / Custom ROM.
- Installed stock ROM for Europe (since I live in EU) for my phone (latest MIUI 13) -> problem still persists.
- Wiped Cache / Dalvik after installing stock ROM (problem persists).
- Multiple factory resets (didn't fix the issue).
- Disable HW overlays -> this seemed to somehow give better performance but it disabled my Fingerprint function and I need this for banking security reasons, etc.
Overall the phone is still fast enough, no other issues, the most common issue is the black screen and the phone having this huge delay where sometimes it would turn on the screen for half a second and then go pure black again.
Most of the times I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to force reboot it in order to access my phone.
Help is appreciated, thanks in advance people!

Well, if the same thing happens to you both on MIUI and custom ROM, the only thing I can think of is that you are installing something (most probably with root access) that gives you this issue. MIUI is obviously laggy itself, but Arrow/Octavi/Cipher are smooth and fast. Personally I use Octavi and face no such issue like yours.

I wish an app was the issue, the only app that I have installed is YouTube Vanced and it doesn't even require root access, the problem is that on a fresh installed stock ROM, the problem still persisted which brings me questions;
1) Am I installing a stock ROM Android 11+ which is too heavy for my phone causing lags?
2) Could it be a hardware issue considering that the problem exists on a freshly flashed ROM? But I need to exclude 1) first.

As I said, MIUI is heavy skin and it definitely lags more than AOSP custom ROM, but it shouldnt give you black screen issue. You could try to install Xiaomi.eu rom, which is a debloated, better version of MIUI than the stock one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...MINote10_MICC9Pro_22.5.25_v13-11.zip/download
If multiple factory resets didnt help, then yes, it may be the hardware issue I think. But Im not that knowledgable to tell this definitely

I was already recommended by Scarlet on discord (if not mistaking the username) to install EU stock ROM which I did but the problem still occcurs, I guess I will try and give it on a mobile service check just to make sure it's not a hardware issue, I will still however wait for more replies in case someone else had the issue and managed to fix it software wise, thanks for the suggestions buddy!
