I've been trying most of the currently available roms for my huawei ascend mate. With all of them I have trouble with wifi.
I started with stock B221 (4.2.1), then upgraded to B907 (4.2.2). Also tried hydrom52, cyanogenmod and Pac man rom.
With all of them I had trouble with wifi and I feel too frustrated to just keep it as it is.
I have read that newer stock roms are getting better. I tried B930 which is a China release but that still had wifi issues.
Every now and then the connection is dropped and I have to disconnect and reconnect to get it workin.
Can it be that I did not wipe propperly before/during/after installing the rom?
The official ones were installed as update, through the huawei system which does not ask for wipes. The custom ones were wiped as recommended by each dev. But that info is often not that rich for me as a noob.
How should I go about making the cleanest install possible?

On my Moto G (I know it's not the same phone but the idea may be the same) when I installed custom ROMs without wiping the /System partition I always had issues. Try wiping cache/dalvik, factory reset and formating system before install.
Ah, ok, thanks.
That gives me a bit of confidence to try one of the roms again. I think I only wiped cache/Dalvik with most installs.
Does it need to be in the sequence you mention?

So I'm new to rooting and flashing custom roms on android devices. This also shows that I'm new because I forgot to make a backup of my stock system before moving forward, hence this problem.
So I currently have CM 10.2 flashed on my phone and so far I can't get the wifi to work. My bluetooth works perfectly fine (I've read that if one fails usually the other should too), so I don't know what to do.
At this point I'm sure i'm stuck because I've flashed a few different roms already to see if i can fix it (10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and hacker's aosp 4.4) but the wifi isn't working in either so I stuck to the rom that had the fewest bugs.
What's weird was that it was working when I had 4.4 flashed, but when i found it too buggy and flashed CM 10.2, now it doesn't work.
Anyone else have this problem? I guess I can live with it for a while until maybe I purchase a new phone.
Thanks

Did you flash 10.2 directly over 4.4 without wiping system data and both caches?

The first time, no. I thought I may have installed 4.4 incorrectly so after installing 10.2 i tried flashing 4.4 again, but I did wipe the caches, system, data and dalvik caches the second time going back after reading in this forum how to flash over a custom rom. But then seeing that the bugs were still there, i wiped again and went back to 10.2 and I've been there for a day now.

That worked! Thank you!
Kind of long, but it's just a difficult explanation, please read and try to help me. Thank you.
Okay, so I have a really weird problem, and I can't seem to fix it at all. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Sprint Motorola Photon Q, and had no problem with data loss, then I flashed PAC Man Rom, and everything went fine and it flashed but then I noticed that I had no data. No 3G, 4G, or 4G LTE, the phone lost network signal, but what was weird is that I could still receive texts and phone calls.
So, then I read that wiping the Dalvik and the regular cache would fix it, and it didn't. Then, I also tried flashing a different ROM which also didn't fix it. I RSD back to stock firmware and the problem was gone. I even tried rerooting and just installing a different ROM but, it still had the same issue, so I just went back to stock again.
Can someone please help me fix this? I've looked everywhere and I can't really find anything to help me out with this.
Thank you in advance.
Is your provider Sprint as well...?
I'm not sure, data works here on custom ROM's... which version are you flashing? Have you tried CM11?
There's some new device unification going on, the newest KK builds are going to be under the "moto_msm8960" device instead of xt897...
No I haven't tried CM11. Where do I find the IMG for it at?
I have Flash Wireless, which is Sprint prepaid. I have tried CM11 and still nothing. I don't understand what is going on....I'm getting real frustrated because I want to put a good custom ROM on my phone....

Perhaps that's the issue. Did you check your APN settings? Is it using Sprint's network?
Hi all,
Did anyone able to use gps with custom rom ( I would say CM base). I research and try everything that's I could find here but not success.
Every time I do clean wipe everything including a internal storage. So that will nothing left behind.
I know that stock is work fine with gps. some said that install and replace stock but I have no idea that what file will left in our device when we delete all.
Always had the same problem when running Paranoid Android (not tried other ROMs). Had to return to stock, where GPS runs fine. Would also love to kknow how people have got it functioning.
I am trying too. I modified gps.conf files, tried some workarounds mentioned in cm11 thread like restoring GPS Status backup from stock with titanium so far with no success. Some people say that it works but it doesn't on mine whatever I do.
I run on CM and I don't have any problem. Everything works fine with gps and I didn't use any fix or something similar.
I'm on CM 11-20140627 and I have 1032 phone.
Interesting, why does it work on some while it doesn't on others? Maybe some variants are having problems...
I have xt1033 asia version.

Which recovery did you use?
CWM
As I wonder is about library missing or some partition need from stock ?
I've also been using the micro gapps package, would this matter?
I had problems with Paranoid Android and GPS too... If anyone know something about that, please comment!

I am having he same problem on XT1032 running Carbon ROM. GPS worked fine on stock, no signal with Carbon.
I found many answers saying to flash stock and then reflash custom ROM. I will try it, but I wonder, how does this help? Isn't the phone restoring the whole system? Do I have to keep the gps.conf from stock?
I've read in some CM thread on here you need to flash stock ROM then enable GPS and get a lock. Once you've done that then flash your custom rom. Sounds STUPID and dosent make sense I know, but a lot of people say this is how they got it to work.
EDIT: I can confirm. I've just flashed stock 4.4.4 and played around with google maps. Flashed CM11 nightly and my GPS is now working ok

Sorry people, I was so happy to have my phone back working, I forgot to write it back here.
Yes it worked indeed, all I did was flashing back the stock, going outside to have a gps lock with gmaps, then re-flashing back the Carbon. I also kept a copy of the gps.conf, but I never needed it, the GPS got a fix quickly. Working fine so far, it only takes some tens of seconds to fix, from time to time.
I can't remember if I also did all the wiping, I think I didn't, but I made so many trials in a couple days, I am not sure.
Thanks a lot guys!

Yes, this worked for me too on PA.
I couldn't even see a single sat (it wasn't just a lock problem). No matter with gps patch, gpx fix app, or gps.conf I used.
What I did?: Back to stock, lock GPS, flash again the custom ROM (but don't wipe /system!).
Good luck on that guys, it should work for you too.

GPS works fine on this unofficial CM11 rom for me. Stable daily driver rom for me, YMMV.
General advice is to:
- make sure you get a GPS lock on stock rom first
- flash CM11 (or other custom rom)
There may not be a file left on the device. it may just be that stock contains the code to initialize the GPS functionality on the SoC or chipset firmware. Whatever, it works...
Hey guys, I can't seem to get this figured out, so I have resorted to coming to the forum for help. On every single ROM I have ran lately EXCEPT the old LiquidSmooth 4.4.4(most recent version), I have had issues playing music through AUX. WHenever I would plug in my aux cable, play a song, then turn off my screen, the music would start lagging and there would be lots of static. but if I waked the device it would be fine. Turn the screen back off, same thing. It started happening after flashing this GPE ROM found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-m8-gpe-01232015-t3010825
Now it does it on Viper, any GPE or AOSP other than LiquidSmooth 4.4.4. I flashed Fluent ROM in the Verizon Dev thread last night and same thing. It will also do it on all versions of Viper(4.4.4 and 5.0.1). Is anyone else experiencing this? BTW I have not tested Bluetooth, so I don't know if it does it there too. I have tested the actual speakers on the phone, and it does not do it there, just on aux. kinda making me think it may be my cable, but I'm just looking to see if anyone else is having these issues.
Thanks in advance guys!

I have not flashed either. However, as we speak, I am updating my firmware to the new 5.0.1 firmware found here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159...and I downloaded the version for TWRP users, and I have the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 installed. So maybe that will make a difference?

Possibly, but I doubt it. There's something telling the kernel to sleep which is why it happens when you turn your screen off. I'd try wiping /system before flashing a ROM. There might be something from liquid being left behind. Factory resets don't wipe /system. If you're ROM requires an intact /system such as Adrenaline, flash a stock rooted ROM first, then the custom ROM. That's what I'd try. Someone else might have a better idea.

Actually every single time I flash a new rom, I go into advanced wipe and wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache 3 times. Every Time. But I flagged that new firmware and was rubbing digital high rom from the Verizon thread and did not have the music issue. I'm running fluent rom sense 7 from the Verizon thread now but have not tested the music yet But will update you guys in the morning. Thanks for all your replies
Hello, I've been using my moto g since it came out, a few months ago, when I was using CM 12, I've noticed that my 3g wouldn't toggle it, I mean, I wasn't able to turn it on, even with the "on" mark, the mobile data wasn't on, so I went back to 4.4, and as soon as I installed it, I've realised that the SMS would be the next problem. See, when I try to send a SMS, when choosing the contact would cause the APP to break, and even with 3rd party apps, the problem would remain, hope that somebody has the answers to those problems, sorry for my grammar, this freaking auto correct is driving me crazy.
This is pretty much guesswork as I'm not sure what model you have, the recovery you used, if you clean flashed everything etc' but.....I have a few ideas about what might have been(is) the problem(s).
I think your 3G issue was due to having a Kit Kat radio (modem) on a lolilliop ROM.... Did you flash the proper radio when you made the jump from 4.4 to LP?
As far as the MMS app breaking I'm assuming it force closes. My first question is did you clean flash the kit kat rom?
If so. And maybe even before clean flashing I would go to your app settings and clear data on your phone app, MMS, and also reset defaults to see if it provides a solution.
If not, most certainly a clean flash,wipe everything in recovery, except internal storage and reflash your rom and Gapps.

I used TWRP, and followed the official tutorial from here, can't remember if I did flash the radio, how do I flash it? Where can I find a tutorial for it? Couldn't find on the web, guess I'm not searching the right terms...
And for the SMS, can't remember aswell if I did clean flash, how is it made? Sorry for asking such things, I made this about 10 months ago...
First I would upgrade your recovery if it is 10 months old. My recommendation would be 2.8.7.0 for stability purposes. DL from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
You can find the radio you need from here. It is a flashable zip which I'm assuming you already know how to flash if you already are rooted with custom recovery. Make sure you flash the correct radio for your device. Know your model number. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763
If you are going from Kit Kat to LP or above you will also need to update your bootloader. The link will go into detailed info why and how. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-questions-t2996087/post59520890#post59520890
Keep in mind you should decide your desired final result before anything. CM13(MM), CM12.1(5.1) then get everything(files) you need depending upon what you are trying to do. A flashable ROM of your choice and the coinciding Gapps package are the only other things I can think of to get you up and running.
