[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykSilentShadow:
I just spent 4 hours trying to get the Pac ROM and CM10.1(latest from IRC) on my 9210T and neither of them would stick! so i've gone back to Stock ICS Telstra ROM with updated LP4 Baseband. I even left my phone for 30 mins at one point thinking it'd need more time, lol even tried using the old soft keys fix I found elsewhere but that just made **** worse, so yeah, stuck with ICS for a little while I guess :/

What recovery are you using?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykSilentShadow:
TWRP-2.5.0.0-DreamRecovery-GT-I9210T-v1.5.1, got it from IRC last night/early this morning

Should say I also used CM 20130614, as Talustus recommended that one to me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykSilentShadow:
WOOT!!! finally got the PAC MAN ROM installed!! only took a further 3 installs lmfao. It does lag a little like Talustus warned me, but, I do really like the look of it...now when all my apps are back on my phone im gonna see about playing some Pac Man lol :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0tter:
oh yeah, oh yeah - I'm doin' a little friggin jig over here.

After more hours than I want to talk about my first rom/kernel combo is running. I now have JB 4.1.2 i727 with SU and Busybox ROM running on my GT-I9210T with everything running including 4G. At this stage I haven't tested battery life - I'm still dancing.

I've attached screenshots

I'm happy to put up the Kernel I compiled but I don't think I can post the link for the ROM as it contains Samsung proprietary code if anyone's interested.

As I've not tested it on anything other than my phone I have no idea how robust it is

Thanks Tallustus and NutterPC for the insight into some of the inner workings.

So my S2 LTE has been staring me down on the floor lately and it's been bugging me that I can't seem to find a way to revive it.

I know that there are tools on HTC phones to get out of QHSUSB_DL mode but I'm guessing because our device has such little support from other sources there'll be no way to reverse it? D:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutterpc:
There normally is, but with our phone, if you get stuck in that method, most times it means a warranty repair job
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MirrorOfTruth:
Ah damn, I picked this thing up second hand too, no clue if it'd have any residual warranty. Thanks though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykSilentShadow:
Well this is a pain, I got a little frustrated with Pac lagging and it seemed to be really draining battery life...a feature like the latest CM builds where you can clear out running apps when you hit the menu button and it shows running apps :)

Anyway, I factory reset PAC on my phone, got into TWRP and flashed to the latest CM 10.1 and gapps. I was blown away at how fast it got into "updating apps" anyway, it loaded and I got hit with 2 problems "Contacts" has stopped and also the process "android.process.acore" has stopped. I thought it might have been a little glitch and figured the best thing would be, to reflash CM and gapps and see how it goes...to have the same problems again. Any ideas?

Edit: Ok so I turned my phone off and left it for about 40 minutes, booted up into TWRP and hit wipe, clearing out android.secure and the other couple options. Reflashed CM and gapps and no more problems! now to download and install my apps again lol :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0tter:
Here's the link to my JB4.1.2 ROM. It's rooted, deodexed and has busybox and custom boot animations installed. I've debloated it a bit, could do with some more though. While I say 'my' JB4.1.2 it's really just the i727 ROM from Sammobile with a custom kernel that has been compiled for our devices and some other tweaks as listed.

You don't need to install the Kernel separately if your using my ROM.

It appears to be working well, though you'll need to make sure that you're running the latest baseband (LP4). Chances are you'll have between no carrier and intermittent carrier problems if you run with LP3, not sure about anything below that. Had a real bugger of a time finding a RIL/modem combination that worked.

I'm using TWRP from Tallastus's download page to install, 2.4.3 I think. It installs it OK but has problems creating backups.

Make sure you wipe system, data and cache.

First boot takes a while so be patient, under 5 mins on my phone though if you're wondering. If it sits on the blue samsung screen that might be a problem, reboot and see what happens. If it's sitting on the boot animation then wait, should take about 90-120 seconds.

I'm not forcing you to install it - it works perfectly well on my phone and I've flashed it 30 times in the past few days with no problems - doesn't mean it'll work for you. If you have any problems I will try to help but it's your responsibility not mine. BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP

Hope someone finds it useful

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inner_vision:
Just had a play around with m0tter's rom tonight, clean and does everything that it is supposed to, nice job...I just can't get past touchwiz, drives me mad. But if it doesn't bother others, its a really good option. It did freeze a lil coming out of the camera, but I could have been too hasty in waiting for it to process an image.

Also, this was probably a noob move but don't flash dream or demon kernels....it preformed well in antutu and was looking to overclock, so tried flashing the custom kernels, this does not work haha.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0tter:
Yipeee. I'm just happy that it worked on someone else's phone. I'm going to start tweaking the kernel, need to get my head around overclocking and the likes, not so much from the point of doing it more on how to undo it when it starts to crash from being pushed to far.

I'm happy to replace touchwiz with something else if there's a demand. I used to use Go Launcher but it feels bloated and I'm not a big fan of Trebuchet, so I guess I don't mind touchwiz - it's somewhere in the middle in my book.

MMS not working

I recently installed the CM 10.1-20130405 with DreamKernel 2.0.4.6, and I have a problem with sending and receiving MMS messages.

When I try to send an MMS, nothing happens, it just keeps trying to send with no error message. When I get an MMS and try to download, I get "Downloading" for a while and then nothing. In Handcent as well as the Messaging app.

SMS works fine (and I've re-checked my APN settings more than a few times). I also flashed Ecips' baseband I9210XXMPM although in "About phone" it says Baseband version I9210XXMA1, but data connection works as does making regular phone calls so I'll write this off as a non-issue.

I've done a bit of googling and it would seem that this issue has affected others running CM10.1 (though I haven't seen any mention of this particular issue in this thread), I have found suggestions about a fix that involves fiddling with the "CDMA subscription" setting, though there is no such setting on my phone.

I did have some problems with the phone becoming unstable with random freezes after I first flashed CM, but after I did a Wipe -> reinstalled CM -> wipe, reinstalled the kernel -> wipe, everything seems stable enough (I occasionally get the upside-down lock screen, but that gets reset when I turn the screen off and on again, and CamerazoomFX freezes the phone when I go into settings, but I've had my fair share of camera issues on stock as well, so I'd say this is non-related and the CM install is stable enough).

Any ideas, anyone? Is this an existing bug with the latest CM10.1 for the i9210 from Talustus or am I unique and on my own here?

Other than this, though, I must say; Wow. CM10.1 rocks, so a big thanks to everyone involved for making it available on the s2 LTE!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythic82:
In CM thread ad block plus is mentioned as the culprit if you are using that.

with tallustus 20130614 rom and 2.0.6.5 kernel i have no problem at all. No slowdowns, no problem with reception, no upside down locksceen. The word perfect comes to mind. Still somehow my wifi does not connect at home but every other wifi works so must be my wifi thats the problem. Some setting must be unsupported with the newer cyangogen. Also had problems installing world of goo, but after removing all word of goo files and folders on the phone that was solved. Had echo on calls but the Kingbeatz audio mod was the source for that. So rom/kernel/recovery works perfect. Tested during the weekend with lots of calling, gpsing, photography and music listening in bad reception areas and has had flawless results all the time. oh..exiting barcode scanner with back button gives black screen but has tested with other roms and its the same thing so probobly an app problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.j:
Nope, don't use ad block. Thanks anyway for the tip though!

I guess that's another 100+ page thread for me to dig through when time permits, sigh.. :) (Unless, anyone, of the top of their head, has any other ideas?)

That 130614 and 2.0.6.5 wouldn't be available from a handy download-link anywhere? Or do I need to request it from IRC?

And about back button and black screen, yeah, I get that too with CamerazoomFX, so it's not just going into settings. The app works fine while it's running though. Not a big problem, as the CM camera app does the trick for me. (The only reason I got CamerazoomFX in the first place was because the camera app on the original ROM kept acting up and became useless, I'm happy just having a camera that works, don't matter much about the bells and the whistles)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MykSilentShadow:
Do you have data enabled? it's about the only thing I can think of. When I 1st started using ROM's I was figuring out why I couldn't get any MMS that was sent to me, until I enabled Data and then everything worked...and then had to learn the new way of saving the images that got sent to me lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.j:
Data is enabled and the data connection works fine.

I'd like to think I'm all out of obvious alternatives by now, so I'm more or less certain that it's an issue of some sort. That can hopefully be fixed..I'd really, really hate going back to the 4.0.4 stock ROM..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0tter:
Now I could have this completely arse about but when I flashed ecips baseband the version was I9210TDVLP3 I thought (I've installed that many bits I really can't remember). Try going back to 4.0.4 downloading the LP4 OTA update, you'll need to use the stock recovery though. It's discussed a few posts back I think. Then reinstall CM, if it still doesn't work try mine.

Otherwise get onto Tallustus via IRC, he has a hack to install the LP4 update that might work for you. I had problems with it and ended up just going 4.0.4 route in the end.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0tter:
Not sure whether I've overlooked something with my ROM or this is common problem. Every time I screw up a framework file I have to clear the data partition to get the phone to reboot, otherwise it boots to the lock screen then freezes and warm reboots. Clearing the cache and dalvik makes no difference. Doesn't matter which file I attempt to change, yesterday was android.policy.jar, today was framework.res.apk.

I know the easy solution, stop screwing up the framework files - but I'm having fun learning.

Process:

grab jar or apk from framework

decompile

modify (screw something up)

compile

put it back

boot problem

replace apk/jar with original

boot problem still - gets to lock and freezes

clear data

boot ok

Always the same result regardless of file, lock screen - freeze - warm boot.

It's really starting to get annoying - I have to re-customise every time as all the settings are stored in /data/data

logcat is attached.

Thanks

Sorted out my MMS issue. Yaay..

Greetings from Sweden, mate! ;) I got my baseband from his COV drawer, as I've got the i9210 (minus the T).

Though I have been considering flashing the latest ICS stock from Sammobile with TWRP and then reinstalling Talustus' CM when the next version comes out, to upgrade the baseband a few letters of the alphabet..

Aaand, I also managed to find a solution to my problem, in case anyone else should suffer the same issue. After fiddling around fruitlessly as well as proving my ineptitude at Google Fu, coming as far as digging about in the apns-conf.xml (as per a misleading(?) search hit) where things seemed to be pretty much in order, I then stumbled across one more forum post that mentioned having a try with Go SMS (there appears to be a few of those recommendations scattered about).

Having seen the same result with the standard messaging app, Handcent, as well as when trying out some lesser known third party sms app (that I can't remember the name of) just for the sake of it, it seemed like another dead end. Also, I don't believe in witchcraft and sorcery, so that Go SMS should come loaded with powers of divine magnitude able to deliver where other identical apps failed seemed like a waste of time. But since I had the two minutes to spare I decided to give it a try just for the heck of it, and one of the first things I notice in the settings is the ability to configure manual in-app MMS APN settings. Something I actually glanced about for in Handcent but brushed off as a silly notion since Handcent doesn't have this particular setting.

So I re-enter the very same APN settings as I have in my, well, APN settings...and that's where the witchcraft and sorcery came in! Problem solved. So now I'm back to spamming all my pals with Myspace angle selfies just like a week ago! (No, not really. It's more like half a week ago)

A bit sad giving up on Handcent though. While Go SMS seems mighty decent (and well worth paying for premium after watching my first MMS getting downloaded), I've sort of gotten used to it over the years. However, CM10.1 is awesome. Pure awesome. So the choice is pretty simple!

And Talustus; some beer money coming your way! My phone now feels like the high end device I thought I was buying over a year ago.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0tter:
ahhh... that makes sense now. I googled the version you mentioned and it came back as the european version, I thought he's flashed the wrong version. :p

Not sure yet why gmail is dying something to do with clearing the dalvik-cache. Must be db encryption keys are lost, or something like that. Deleting com.google.android.gm from /data/data solves it though. Forces db rebuild. Onwards and upwards.

I've added a boot.img zip package m0tterKernel v1.0.0 to the download post (link in my signature). You can flash it with TWRP or whatever you're using.

In theory should allow you to use any JB skyrocket ROM based off the official Samsung Touchwiz ROM. I haven't tried mixing and matching yet. So make sure you understand what you're doing. Check the updater script make sure you understand what it's doing. Ask questions if you need to. That's what I did.

Will hopefully have a kernel based on 3.4 ready for testing in the next few days.

Finally!!!!

OMG!!! Finally after getting this phone almost at its release i have finally been able to install a custom OS on it :D.... Now as a few of you know, i have had trouble from day 1. For some unknown reason, my phone was unrecognisable to all computers... They just didnt see it. Therefore i coudnt pick it up in odin and couldnt flash. But finally i have found some light in my darkness... My phone is compatible with USB 3.0 slots and functions as it would normally, but only in usb 3.0.... That aside, i finally managed to flash it!!! woo hoo

Also on a side note, Is there a way to remove or retheme the twrp recovery? :D thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fedelrick:
I have the same problem, only i have had it since day 1. Im not sure if you solved it because I have only be browsing through all the stuff that i missed, but the solution that i came to was that my phone is only recognised when plugged into USB 3.0 slots. I was also told "Unfortunately if we send your device away to be tested we will have to charge you $40 as it is clear there is nothing wrong with the handset" from the manager at our telstra store after kicking up a HUGE fuss... so if you have better luck getting yours sent away, I will be surprised :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlb:
How peculiar that you should have the exact same issue! Did it ever work for you with stock ROM? I tested on a work colleagues PC with USB 3.0 port and sure enough it was recognised! I never thought to test that considering it originally worked on my USB 2.0 laptop... I haven't returned the phone yet as I haven't been able to put the stock ROM back on so it's a catch 22 as I can't get the ROM on without USB - but not it might be a different story with USB 3.0 I will need to test more.

Was hoping to have the list completed by now but the didn't realise I needed the first item in the list until I spent two days trying to figure out why my modded framework files were resulting in a bootloop (didn't matter whether they were signed or not)
