Well, I guess, but in those instances where I can't send MMS, I can't get a data signal either. To be honest, I'd be fine with this on&off mms thing if the camera on CM6.3.6 was more stable... the reason why I want to switch up to CM7 is 'cause the camera was more stable for me.

Could anyone would has gotten CM7 to work on Wind with 3G chime in?

Thanks!
[Milestone XT720 General] plumcakk:
update

I just tried flashing ChronosX and as expected, MMS and data don't work. This was a fresh install from SBF and the APNs was checked to be correct.

Does anyone else experience this?
[Milestone XT720 General] molohov:
I just flashed brianlili's CronosX RC2 and I was able to send an MMS no problem. The 3G went off and on like it usually does. Also got one of my friends to send an MMS (he's on Fido), and with the same behavior I got his MMS too.
[Milestone XT720 General] molohov:
I also tried this on fjfalcon's CM 7.2.0 (yes, I was on a ROM spree today haha) with the same success. The same 3G off/on behavior occurred as well.

It may help if you redescribe your problem again, in a bit more clarity?
[Milestone XT720 General] plumcakk:
Thanks for replying.

When I'm using a gingerbread ROM, and I try to send an MMS, it'll just keep saying "Service is not available, etc". I can't receive MMS either, I just get the link to download it, which returns the same error. The 3G never turns on at all.

I made sure that I an using correct APNs and that Data is on. I try flicking it on and off too like on CM6 to no avail. Is there something I'm forgetting?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nickmo:
So I must admit I am new to this. I am on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA). I was running stock 4.0.2. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, and clockwork mod recovery.

I decided to flash my first custom ROM. I choose Android Open Kang Project - toro Milestone 3. I made a nandroid backup. I wiped data. First I did "wipe data/factory reset", then I did "wipe cache partition", and then finally I did "wipe dalvik cache". After that I pushed the aokp_toro_milestone-3.zip to the /sdcard/. After that I entered clockwork mod recovery and installed from zip. Installed successfully, then in recovery I was going to flash the aokp_gapps-ics-403-011312.zip and accidentally rebooted the system.

Well, it has been doing the team kang unicorn boot animation for about 40 minutes now. Is this normal? I read that it takes a long time for the first boot, but this seems excessive. Could it be because I accidentally skipped flashing the gapps? Should I reboot(adb reboot bootloader)? If I do that should I start from scratch(wipe data, re-flash ROM, flash gapps, flash kernel?, and then reboot device)? Or do I wait.

I would appreciate any advice/help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nickmo:
I spoke with a friend, he said it was alright to reboot to the bootloader and start over. That is what I did. This time it booted up.

This thread can be deleted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
On past Androids I have owned I have seen dif ROMs that actually say you need to pull battery, flash twice, etc.. Not trying to say that's normal procedure, just saying it happens from time to time. You did good to wait and see though! First start can take a while sometimes, you don't want to do a premature bat pull. Glad you got it working.:)

Which one is better with battery life, Performance and General Stability? Also, Which kernel gives Best Battery life and stability for the better Rom? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
iOS.

In other words, you will not get the same performance, battery life or have the same experience with a given rom or kernel compared to someone else with the same rom or kernel. Your phone is setup differently, you use your phone differently & your phone came out of the factory differently to everyone else's.

Sooo...Try them both out & see how they work for you.

I tryied checkrom and has good battery life (even better if you make UV), actually i'm testing hyperdroid 6 and is a good option too.

Can anyone play Tap Tap 4 with Galaxy Player 5.0? I tried 3 ROMs but the same result. FC immediately whenever it starts.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Confirmed, This app has the same problem as the XDA app here.

When I release the next version of "Foreigner" ROM (R5). It will include the "deviceid" hack that will allow these apps to run. However, the "deviceid" is meant to be unique and this hack does not return a unique value. I just tested this app and I am able to use both of them with this hack applied.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tg9413:
Using it. Same as updates as LA4 if nothing more. Only problem is the torch widget. It doesnt work like the one on LA4 where it has 3 different brightness of the light.... All 3 tier of the brightness is the same on mine. But that could be cause by the speedmod kernel i am using
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TML1504:
this is caused by kernel, yes! the 3 steps only work on original samsung kernels!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrum:
On my Austrian Note (ATO), it has very old software (XXKKA from November). And both OTA and Kies updates says no updates available.

What do I do? Reset and change sales country code to German for example, which is known to be getting updates (in that case what number is best for latest updates)?

Or should I forget about official update process and download and install it manually? (in this case where is good source to download it? Also is it Odin software that I will need to update?)

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tg9413:
Kies always has problem. it's like a girl on he rperiod, u never know when th eupdates gonna pop. just go to the dev section there should be a sticky on official roms and instruction to flash it. Recomend mobile odin. Never have to worry about root again and it doesnt jack up you binary counter. Do pay attention if the rom is wipe or none wipe tho, just in case u want to sav your data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
I'm unable to update to LA2 from KK1 via OTA. Tried several times with or without ext SD card, rooted/unrooted through CWM, energy saving mode on or off etc. everytime fails at 10%.

My Note is rooted using Zergrush exploit explained at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

All root apps work so I got the right KK1 Kernel.

Anyone else having this issue? I understand using Kies will break my root so what other method can I use to update to HK's LA2 without loosing root?

For what it's worth... my Note being on KK1 is really fast ... if it ain't broke... what benefits would I have running at LA2?

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] keijames:
upgrade with kies, then root it again.

other method will wipe every apps and data. such ad odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
in another thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22265523#post22265523 someone did just that but now isn't able to root anymore because LA2 isn't directly rootable.... DR Ketan suggested using CWM or odin Mobile Pro instead... problem is I'm not entirely sure where to download the latest HK rom to use with CWM...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] keijames:
From my experience it is just boot into recovery mode (samsung), then select root.zip from sdcard. More or less the same method. CWM kind of out dated.

I did this kind of root for Samsung ACE, galaxy tab etc, surely can do so for note. Maybe needing old keneral as intermid steps. Like S2 etc.

No worrys 無問提*^_^*
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hkgrob:
For the Hong Kong People, the only way to upgrade and keep root, is to use Mobile Odin. Explained in the sticky in the Dev Section.

If you need to download the firmware, there is a hotfile link in the sticky, or alternately google Checkfus, and download version 2.1 for PC. Run it, select android, select GT-N7000, and then Hong Kong, and download. (Or any other if you want them)

Move it to your device and flash via mobile odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
exactly! did just that... installed / bought Odin Mobile Pro, downloaded the latest ROM and flashed. Got LA2 now and still have root :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cenkaetaya:
you can now use the black wallpaper as lockscreen without the banding.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hkgrob:
Yes, Iv'e had this when coming from another CSC.

Usually once I flash back to stock TGY firmware, I boot into android, then set up skipping the google services, and reboot into recovery and it corrects itself. I.e. This with stock firmware / kernel.

The last time i did this, flashed an update using mobile odin, and the csc files refused to apply, so I extracted the CSC zip and flashed manually in recovery. All was well then, and I could choose TGY again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
Yep. Same issue here. Updated via mobile Odin pro and CSC is unknown.

Can you provide a link where to download /get the CSC zip for TGY?

What option or menu did you use in recovery mode?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hkgrob:
I extracted it. Will post here, as it needed to be changed to ext4 format etc.. Blah blah blah. Give me 5 mins .

EDIT: 5 minutes up, here it is. Just flash in recovery, then your CSC should be fine. May need to change it, and remember when you do, it WILL WIPE YOUR DATA!

THIS IS THE TGY CSC FILE FROM LA2 ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
I just realize that we may not need to worry about the CSC not showing under *#1234# as apparently it is still there...

Have a look at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124900

There is a short code *#272*IMEI# to check your sales code, in our case TGY for Hong Kong.

Also when rooted you can navigate to /efs/imei/ then look for the file "mps_code.dat" and open as text with a text editor. this is where you would change the CSC code if you wish to change to other region.

That also shows the Note still has it's original CSC code.

Anyway, saves me the hassle of wiping the whole phone and restoring all apps and content all over again.

I understand that if you want to keep root in future FW updates it's better to flash them with Odin Mobile Pro rather than Kies / Odin / OTA which will remove root.

Just my 2 cents
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hkgrob:
Just be careful editing / changing your efs files.. Ensure you have a backup, as you can have a really expensive tablet with no phone functions...

But if it works, great.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smaragdhk:
Can you clarify how you flash in recovery? should the file be on the external SD card or not? I know how to boot into recovery... what's next?

EDIT: Never mind, figure it out ;-) reboot in recovery mode and choose flash update from SD. File should be on internal SD card. All is fine now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ngambek2003:
Where on the internal SD? Anywhere? Did you have to rename the zip file or just use it as is?

EDIT: Figured it out too. It can be anywhere really and it doesn't have to be renamed. You can choose which update file to apply. Now it's all good. Awesome!

Thanks

only one test on my phone though, so can't come to any significant conclusions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmm5157:
I tried it at a friend's house and my speeds went from 1.27Mbps immediately down to 0.21Mbps and 0.81Mbps. I tried a few different settings, none got it back to 1.3Mbps, so I uninstalled the tweak and the app.

Just tried it at home right now and scored a 5.2Mbps down, 1.80 up which is just about the fastest speed I've ever had at my house. Usually I'm around 2-3Mbps, but never higher than 5Mbps. Just looked my result history and 4.8Mbps was my fastest here in town.

Ran the test again 5 minutes later and puled in a 5.6Mbps down, 2.35Mbps up! I have never seen speeds that high in both categories.

I'm going to try testing a few things tomorrow, but these are promising initial results.

I'm curious if these are build.prop tweaks. There is one way to find out... TO THE CLOUD. I mean time to backup my build.prop and do some comparisons. I am also wondering if this will break my v6.

The faster the speed, the moar battery drain.

Download tweak threw this into my build.prop:

Normal:

ro.ril.hsxpa=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

The rest of the tweaks just change 3 of them.

ro.ril.hsxpa=

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=

ro.ril.hsupa.category=

Upload just changes ro.ril.hsxpa=
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iskor12:
Anyone else giving this a go? I'm still having great results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmm5157:
Good catch cwc3. I'm checking mine and all the build.prob tweaks were gone when my speeds were really high, so I think it was a placebo effect for the most part.

Being the tinkerer that I am, I tried the tweak again last night and it dropped back down to under 2Mbps download. Still faster than before running the tweaks though.

This morning, I reinstalled and retried the "FAST" tweak. It went up around 3Mbps.

I uninstalled the tweaks and it's back around 2Mbps.

I'm going to stay without the app tweaks for now. I am just going to experiment with modifying build.prob and saving the changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iskor12:
I really wish that I knew what you are talking about. Are the changes that it makes a bad thing? I really don't think that it's a placebo effect. It really is much faster. I guess I need an explanation for me to understand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmm5157:
The reason I say placebo effect is because in my case I uninstalled the tweaks (removed the added lines from my build.prop file), restarted the phone, uninstalled the app, and then ran the speed test when I got my extremely fast speed test results.

That is, of course, unless the app is modifying something else.

I'm going to do some more digging when I finish helping my friend move into her new apartment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuwayman:
Tries this myself and overall my speed performance went up. Not double like some but almost a full 1 mbps. From about 1.5 to 2.5. On a hell raised Rom though. Some of you guys getting like 5 what Rom are you using? People doing this test maybe put what Rom your using along with the speed increase numbers.

I will test this later with different Modems too....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SoCaliTrojan:
I have a highly tweaked build.prop file, so the app thought that tweaks were already applied. The fast profile only changed 2 values in the file to values I had previously tested and had no luck with.

When I initially did a speed test, my upload went up from 0.9 to 1.6, and my download from 0.5 to 3 (I live in an area with hardly any cell towers nearby...it's like they're banned in the neighborhood).

I then uninstalled the app without removing the tweaks or rebooting, and my speed dropped. I wonder what else the app does, and if it's manipulating anything while being installed. I mean, if this app only modifies the build.prop file, theoretically it should no longer be needed once tweaks are applied.

I think maybe the tweaks caught the at&t network off-guard which gives the initial speed boost, but then the network eventually catches on and puts us back in our place. Actually, some threads even suggest that having the setting too high might eventually cause the network too slow your down below factory speeds. Hmmm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iskor12:
Did your signal level seem to go up as well with the Mod/app? Mine did. Needless to say, I'm a bit confused.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberManiaK:
Interesting app.. Inside home I barerly get 300kbps. With 1 signal bar, and with this app is at 2 bars, sometimes 3 and speed is around 1700kbps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmm5157:
Ok, post #3 for test results here.

I ran my tests earlier with the app and then uninstalled it. Looks like it's not causing an increase for me anymore. Results from this morning with the speed test are about in line wit what I'm getting now. No tweak installed and my speeds tests are now up over 3.5Mbps again. Ping is all over the place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iskor12:
Do you have the fast dormancy turned off? I've found that it stabilizes the Ping some when it's off.

Outside of this....I'm seeing some pretty mixed results from users on this forum. For me and many others, its still running faster than normal. I don't know if all of this can be explained.
