sound issue-
i can hear two seconds roughly, of static evertime my phone makes a noise, the system clicking noise.....any sound while playing a game. i can hear it over headphones, or on the main speaker. also, when my headphones are on and im cliking through my music library, i hear it. its not really a big issue, more of an annoyance and something i havent encountered before. but i would like to fix it if possible.
If you have any questions about Ninja, please post them here. The team will be happy to answer your questions the best we can. Thanks Zel for setting this up!!
I think this is a great thread. It should be added to the initial post on the Ninja page so that noobs have a place to go with questions. Is there anyway to post the Q/A's from the development thread and list them here so that the same questions aren't asked again?
.flv files
Maybe its me, but with the other Phoenix roms (on the captivate) I could play .flv files, not from the stock video player, but I had download another, Act 1 player, or something like that. On this rom I have to use Moai FLV player, which is annoying and skips. Any thoughts on why the system doesn't recognize those anymore?
Thanks

I tested mine, I was not able to recreate the issue you are experiencing. Sound seems ok for me.

I didn't look back in the other thread, but did you download a fresh copy of Ninja before? It seems you've had many issues. Also, if you download to the computer, make sure you have a good USB cable and USB port on the computer. Make sure you aren't using a USB breakout box. Those don't always work well. Also, have you tried the Lordmod kernels? The newest one, 6.8 seems to work well.

I am having the same problem as the person above. My data kicks off when i receive or try and download a MMS. I have not tried to send one. It take a min for the data to come back after it has kicked. Also I'm using the two APN's from the op.
Quick question guys. Today my phone started all of a sudden started acting weird. Mobile data barely works though my guess is its the network yesterday It was fine but was slow and today even worse. I also noticed my gallery app wont display my pics. It just shows blank transparant blocks. Lastly go launcher suddenly lost my custom icons when I rebooted.
Running ninja 716 with 6.8 bfs. I haven't changed/ added anything new. This was just sudden. Anybody experience this. This rom has never given me problems

Hello Everybody
I recently rooted my mobile phone and installed MIUI 0.9.9 firmware.
I like the color scheme and toggling features so far.
As I haven't yet started using its advanced features yet.
But I am experiencing one major issue in this firmware. Call management applications such as ShakeCall and MyPhoneExplorer are not working properly.
ShakeCall's functionality is completely broken.
MyPhoneExplorer is able to make out-going calls after I allowed it in permission prompt.
But even MyPhoneExplorer is not able catch incoming calls and messages.
Both of the applications are very nice applications and I am missing them
Please suggest me a solution.

I'm having the same issues when using Google Voice to make calls and with the GVoice Callback app. These apps were working fine on the Vibrant MIUI build when I was using it but not on the MIUI G2X ROM ported by Whitehawkx.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
We just have to find out whether the problem is caused by MIUI or Android.
Is Vibrant MIUI build uses Android v2.3.5?

I just came across this issue while trying to do a phone to phone (over LTE4g) Gtalk video chat (i did a google search and found your post). Once we finally got video chat to connect the person on the other end (galaxy nexus running CM10 M1build) could not hear me, I was able to hear them. We repeated the process 2 or 3 times but I was not able to get them to hear me until i switch to my desktop. I have the VZW SGS3 running CM10 9/17build. Sorry i cant be of more help, but maybe this will bring light to any Gtalk video chat issues that might exist.

I have the same problem with CM10 9/20.
Also... The voice dial app does not hear me either. Google Now does. I wonder if there is a problem with the way these programs are initializing the microphone. This is also making it impossible to call using only a bluetooth headset.
I could receive the call but camera could never connect. Was a little frustrating.
I did find something about talk working in cm but not in cm10 yet. I'm sure that this will be fixed soon.

I couldn't find any CM10 builds older than M1, but I am also experiencing a low mic gain/volume when using the walkie-talkie app Voxer. This was first noticed on Euroskank builds after 09/17. 09/17 is the last Euroskank build that performs normally pertaining to the mic gain problem. I also factory/devlik wiped and loaded CM10 M1 and CM10 09/23 and am experiencing the same issue. This also occurs in Miui's 2.9.21 BETA (CM10 9/23 based) rom.

That would be unlikely to help. Permissions effect the filesystem and read/write access. If you can install apps then it is probable that your permissions are fine.
I'm not referring to the groupMe app, because they'd also have to install that.
I've tried Go SMS, pansi SMS, chomp SMS, and they don't seem to do it perfectly.
When I receive a group text from an iphone user, I want it to make a new thread with all members of the group text, where I can seamlessly respond to all users. Moreover, the stock app does this in a way that my response is not received as a group text on their end, but simply a message to them (as well as whoever else was in the group). Thus, the response goes into our 1v1 chat thread.
All I want is a plugin, rom, app, anything that solves this ridiculously frustrating issue.
I'd like to know as well. I have not been able to find an easy way to do it. I'm guessing it's Apple hating on us Android folks.
GoSMS does it very well, subject to a few limitations, not sure why it is not working for you. A couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The proper threading is not native but is run after the fact. This requires that the message be fully downloaded before it is properly threaded. This can take 10-15 seconds, if you open the message during that time it will not thread correctly.
2) Unfortunately the app will notify you twice, once the original message is received, and once it is recategorized. I handle this by shutting of sound and vibration in the app and using Tasker instead. If two notifications arrive within 15 secs Tasker just ignores the second one.
From what I have been told Handcent will do something similar
The GoSMS / Handcent implementations are ****. Sorry, but they are.
I've heard tell that Android finally put native group SMS / MMS into Android 4.2, which will likely never come to our phone officially but hopefully we'll get some of the benefit at least as things trickle down in the development community.
I'm also trying to find a solution to this too and I'm always hoping that every update of Go Sms and Handcent fixes this feature. Like one of the previous replies above stated, GO SMS will give you double notifications. It's annoying because it slows down your phone if you get too many all at once.
I've found that Handcent works better than GO SMS because it only notifies you after the message has been downloaded and you don't get double notifications. However, it's still flawed because sometimes your messages hang and dont download properly unless you physically click download. Also, sometimes when you're sending a text and try to hit send, it looks like it sends but just disappears. If you wrote a long message, you would have to re-type it all over again and hope it sends correctly the second time.
If you install CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2), this group messaging feature is baked into the rom. This is probably the best experience I've had to get the group messaging to work. It works like how an iphone user would see it. However, CM 10.1 still has some minor glitches that made me temporarily go back to sense roms. With every nightly, things seem to be getting better though. I will probably try it again in a couple weeks.
Currently I'm back on Viper using Handcent.

I've been told before that SMS apps for stock Android won't work on Sense ROMs and vice-versa. No idea why or if that's really true.

I've successfully run a CM10.1 mms.apk in CM10, but I've never tried this with Sense. Do you know what ROM that mms.apk file you have is actually from? I know CM10.1's mms.apk is compiled to require a minimum of JB 4.1, but versions from other JB 4.2 ROMs might have possibly been compiled to require JB 4.2
FWIW: mms.apk file is normally located in the /system/app folder, which requires root permissions to move a file to. File permissions might also need to be modified. Sense doesn't normally has a mms.apk in there since the stock messaging app is built around Sense and I believe the name starts with "htc", but I would assume a new mms.apk would at least run. I'm not sure whether this file location and permissions are actually part of your problem
update -
I've tried the entire process of putting the app in system, setting permissions, and installing, rebooting etc. No avail. App still force closes as soon as it opens.
I think the problem is in fact something to do with sense. I deleted the old messaging app as well first but that didn't do anything either.
Damn.
4.2.2 MMS force closes on viper 4.1
I uninstalled all the htc language packs, htc messaging. Install mms.apk.
I can get the app open, change settings, type a message... But as soon as I add a recipient it force closes.
Since I can do the things I can with the app open seems as though it should be able to work
If there is anyone that wants to work on this? I don't want to bug Turge with it.
Which mms.apk did you install?

Hi,
This is my first android app and my first app announcement on XDA so apologies in advance if I've broken any rules.
I've ported the stock messaging app and then added some enhancements and changes so it can (hopefully) work on any Jelly Bean phone. This app is downstream from the latest Android 4.3 and CyanogenMod 10.2 (not-yet-released as of writing).
(ICS compatibility is a possible future feature.)
Please have a look if interested and feel free to try it out.
The Play Store link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
Excerpts from the app description follows ...
Notable features
Notification pop-ups
Quick reply
Gesture based templates
Emoji support
Optional dark theme
Install this app if you want to use features from the latest Android messaging app without having to wait for a full phone software update.
Usage
Whilst 88sms is a replacement for the messaging app that came with your phone, it is actually an add-on application only.
Please do not disable or remove the messaging app that came with your phone as that is still required to receive sms and mms messages.
88sms works best if you turn off notifications for the messaging app that came with your phone. Then you won't get two sets of notifications.
Phone compatibility
This app may not work (yet) on the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. If you install this app on one of these devices, please let us know if it works.
If you install this app on your phone and it does not work, please let us know. Please be sure to specify your phone model and software version number, and the version of 88sms you have installed.
Permissions
This app requires a wide range of permissions because it is a port of a system app. System apps use a lot of permissions. Full network access is required in order to send (or download) mms using your phone's cellular data (mms) connection.
Thank you.
Works great. Left my rating on the play store.
