Link2SD Notes:​

There are problems when using Link2SD while changing ROMs. My advice is to format Ext partition before changing ROMs or you will have a lot of FCs.

Note that if you use Link2SD

these goodies don't work if you don't start "/system/etc/Lego-Start" as superuser manually. (Or use ScriptManager like me).

Instructions for using ScriptManager:

- Install Link2SD and ScriptManger.

- Open ScriptManager

- Go to /system/etc/

- Touch Lego-Start.sh and set it as this image: (Look carefully) (Name of the file is different but you have to check the same field)

- Run it and give ScriptManager superuser permission when asked. Save.

- Open Link2SD

- Configure it and reboot when asked

Sorry for double post (in another forum)

Hi, first of all, nice rom, it's pretty and has some nice features although for me it seems a bit slow (I had one that didn't had much on it, just the 360 launcher, but this one is pretty good.

I just had one question, I can't use the GPS, it never gets a "lock on", I'ver already tryed gps status and fix but to no avail, I really want to use this rom but I need the gps (since I don't have a tom tom) and right now I'm going beserk trying to "fix it", do you have any suggestion?

I'm from Portugal don't know if that matters for the config of the gps.

Thanks for your hard work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dualmaxi:
still volume rocker wake not working :( working, but sometimes, more less

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ah_burn!:
Hi again, even wuth B2 it doesn't work (the gps signal turns on for 1 second and then desappears, on and off without lock on), with jelly smart I have no problem at all (trying it now, it seems a bit faster than miui but miui was a little different and I lked it, gonna give jelly a try, if you remember something to fix my gps problem I would appreciate it, but onece again, thanks for your hard work.

P,S, I went to the original rom and "copyed" the NTP, supl and port to configure in Miui but still, no lock on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SapoPT:
This rom looks great, thanks =)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dadroid98:
there is a button for this !:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dissidius:
When playing fruit ninja and the skittles with chainfire 3d(reduce texture size and quality) randomly i get a freeze {every time in random moments} than after freeze an inevitable reboot in stock doesn't happen. Why? Truly stunning look and performance

Keep up the good work!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SapoPT:
But it's always good for you to know, and i've pressed it along time before, only saying for you to know you are doing a good job and we are thankful for that =)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GiannisTP:
Hi. My power button broke too and I have transferred the functionality of the power to the camera button that I don't use anyway because it takes ages to make the shot if you press it.

If you want to know how to do it click unhide

Step 1: With the root browser of your choice navigate to /system/usr/keylayout

Step 2: open the file named "bcm-keypad_v2.kl"

Step 3: find the line that says "key XXX CAMERA WAKE"(I think it says WAKE, I don't remember but it's something like that)

Step 4: find the line that says "key XXX POWER WAKE"

Step 5: in line from step 3 replace CAMERA WAKE with POWER WAKE(copy+paste it from the line in step 4)

Step 6: Save and go back to folder "keylayout"

Step 7: Change the file's permissions back to rw-r--r--

Step 8: reboot or fast reboot doesn't matter

*Make sure you didn't forget to change the permissions back to rw-r--r-- otherwise no keys will work after reboot

I hope I helped...

GPS fix (jdrl.eml diserves the credit)

I'm just posting this to thank jdrl.eml tha solved my gps problem with MIUI, here's the solution for anyone having problems with it

"I'm from Portugal and I'm here to share my feedback with this ROM.

Regarding random boots and FC's I've found it to be very stable if you don't change the language in the rom. I only changed timezone and dictionary to Portuguese in SMS/Texting.

Regarding GPS bug do the following:

Replace gps.conf located in system/etc by the original file of the stock rom

Replace gps.bcm21553.so located in system/lib/hw by the original file of the stock rom

Replace all files located in system/etc/gps by the original files in the stock rom

Don't forget to change permissions once the files are replaced..."

-----

Thanks a million, this worked like a charm, because I already had another rom installed I unzipped MIUI-B2 and replaced the files you mentioned, zipped it again and then flashed the rom normally and everything works great!

Obrigado.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djadry:
I can't flash any of these ROMs. After the flash the phone doesn't boot...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] legolas93:
I'm pretty sure you didn't follow the instructions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ah_burn!:
Hi, I've been using this rom and so far everything works well (one or two "restarts" and google goggles doesn't work but thats ok).

I just wanted to ask if you knew how to solve a little problem I have with data transfer, the thing is I have data transfer always enabled, but if I use Wi-Fi once, I need to restart the mobile phone for the data transfer to function (even if i turn data transfer on/off and turn Wi-fi on/off it still doesn,t work), I need to restart everytime after I've used Wi-fi for the data transfer to wok.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks for your hard work.

Review

Well , I'll do a review of this ROM commenting errors and other :

· DEVELOPER'S WORK

Excellent , I give them a 9.5 / 10 , excellent work , have brought a ROM that works well ... but have been unattended since August.

· BUGS

· When I call the screen goes black.

· When I call , the screen goes black and I can't unhang the phone.

· I noticed that there are some apps that can be installed stock ROM but in this ROM, can't be installed are they aren't in the Google Play.

· Some apps that runs in the Stock ROM in this ROM gives me a FC when I open them.

· The phone sometimes collapses.

· The Equalizer ( DSP Manager) gives FC a lot of times.

· The wifi goes wrong, it's very slow and it works, but it doesn't work properly.

· Bluetooth doesn't work.

· I think that the GPS doesn't work properly, please revise that..

· RECOMMENDATIONS

· Fix the bugs mentioned above.

· Remove Script Manager and Link2SD.

Sorry for my English I'm Spanish

Hello,

Can same one explain what's need to be done to get LINKSD working with this rom, since the pictures are no longer available.

or simple post the pictures again

Thanks

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sultanka:
Create an ext2 partition on your memory card. U can google it. And have root ofc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MagetaTheLion:
Thanks for your answer Sultanka, but i already now how to install and use LINKSD, but in the second post of this ROM Legolas93 says:

QUOTE: "Note that if you use Link2SD these goodies don't work if you don't start "/system/etc/Lego-Start" as superuser manually. (Or use ScriptManager like me).

I want to now is what's done in ScriptManager?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sultanka:
Oh yes, sorry for that. I don't use this phone for one year and a half so I totally forgot you have to do this. As I remember you only have to tick Su and Boot and don't have to change anything else.
[General Accessories] x-men4711:
Hello community,

i' am using an MDA I (T-Mobile) whit the wired GPS Navigate Mouse Kit. If i woud buy an MDA III oder the small MDA Compact, can I use this wired Mouse or must i buy the "BlueKit" ( ~ 170 € :cry: ) too.

Thanks a lot for help!

Markus :D
[General Accessories] 3waygeek:
See this thread where someone modified a USB GPS unit to work with the XDA serial port -- note that the newer MDA III or MDA compact may have slightly different connector pinouts than the MDA I. If you visit the appropriate device-specific forums here, you should be able to figure out how to accommodate the new pinouts.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nghia3d:
I'm using Xperia T lt30p right now!

My current rom is:XperimenT 3.0

My phone's camera is so poor.I see something like cloud on display,the parts displayed on screen with blur pixel....it not clearly.And when I try to compare with IP5 I have an question?Why IP 5 had more wider angle than Xperia T,IP5 capture more space with same view.:crying::crying::crying:

Thank all!Please reply me!:crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
This is weird. My camera functions perfectly and is one of the best cameras I have come across. No clouding or blurring. Maybe your lens is scratched causing focal errors.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emperror123:
actually i tested with other ROM i use, but problem is the ROM like cyanogen (i am sorry if i am saying wrong) without xperia camera, it would be poor quality, i have compared both stock ROM and other ROM, but both are different quality, i were waiting them to implement with sony camera for xperia.

Currently Cyanogen is working out camera with xperia.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nghia3d:
I will undertake that my phone is brandnew...no any problem about hardware...I buy it only two weeks ago...Not only my phone...I tested many phones include Xperia V,Xperia TX....All of them have something not good,wide angle is less ip5,screen is smugde color...:(:(:(:(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nghia3d:
Yes!I think Camera Quality is depend on Software :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nghia3d:
More blurring.....

If you focus on tooth brush,you will see some thing like border around egde.:crying::crying::crying: It more blurring border when you see on camera interface.....:silly::silly::silly::silly:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emperror123:
are you using stock ROM or other ROM?

stock ROM i dun have a problem about the color, but compared to IP, IP has better color, but not sure about the print out quality

if you use other than stock ROM, i confirmed is the software, due to different software will have different quality
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Okay honestly I didn't think you would go so deep into it but its probably due to noise reduction features. Did you try a third party app? Like Vignette maybe? Or a more advanced mod like camera fv-5 where you can control the ISO values
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emperror123:
if u dun have good quality via ur CWM, i can recommend you camera 360 from google play, better quality than CWM camera
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nghia3d:
I m using Xpirement T 3.0,but same issues with stock rom!:crying:

I will try this!:good:

Thanks all
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Yep I am a big fan of Camera360 too :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emperror123:
same here, can change the effect you wan, better quality than CWM
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] iamkani:
Camera 360 okay.. I jv it too. But yiu guy's say that 360 got better equality than stock??

kaniboy from LT25i using xda premium:cool:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yenkazu:
Actually, using any other camera app doesn't help at all

It's due Adreno 225 render issue. . .

For me, stock camera app better rather than any app camera outside, beside of any effect offered by any camera app
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nghia3d:
I think so!How outside app can be better than stock app :victory:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emperror123:
as long as custom rom remain stock apps, everything will be solved :D:D:D

Yea, the stickied thread has 220+Pages of people arguing about wether or not idia will get it before singapore or why one should bother with it or not.

I just want a simple change log of things different from the original.

I have noticed the following: (in addition to the basic lists)

*LED blink disappears if you read the message preview

*2 finger swipe down for quick settings

*Daydream added (screensaver for when plugged in)

*Home button swipes

*Magnification gestures (3 tap on/off/hold and pan etc)

*Blinkfeed back button-to-top

I'l add more if this thread isn't merged :P

I have the ATT Galaxy S4 and it's been great, but lately it randomly has No Sim Card Error, and askes me to insert one, the only fix for it is taking out the sim, and putting it back on.

Anyone having this problem?

Can you provide more information about your phone?

what is there to provide? samsung glaaxy s4 for att black 16gb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bo8:
How long have you had the phone for?

I read on another forum, back in early May someone with an S4 also getting the No SIM Card error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nthknd:
Is your phone modified in any way? Root? Customs roms? Etc. Perhaps there's a problem with your sim card. I would start with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] pham818:
it is running a custom rom, but it happened with stock touchwiz also, im trying the tape method, hopefully it'll fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
Try getting your company to exchange the sim card and if issue still happens just replace the sim tray yourself unless you got an insurance plan that covers free defective hardware or ship it off to samsung for repair.

Here is a link to a sim tray for the s4 that I bought for someone to repair their sim tray.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] pham818:
alright thanks, ill try my tape method first, and if that doesnt work ill do that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fukenbiker:
Please insert SIM emergency calls only

I bet I have more experience with this than anyone else with a Samsung Galaxy S4 for AT&T 16 GB

This hand set was run over by a large SUV and I was amazed it survived and kudos to otterbox.

Since then, I've been having this SIM error as well, at random. I see it reported that pulling the SIM out and putting it back in was the only thing that worked, I'm glad simply rebooting works for me, so I don't have to peel apart the otterbox all the time.

I tried the tape and it didn't fix it so I replaced the SIM/SD card tray. The new part on Amazon cost me $14 and the YouTube video showing the operation of peeling these things apart was helpful. I didn't see a video in particular about how they're glued down but I managed to peel the original SIM/SD card tray off, scrape off the adhesive that was still stuck on the motherboard, and install the new SIM/SD card tray.

I still get random SIM errors. No change. Putting a layer of tape on the SIM chip was easy, replacing the tray was difficult, and neither one of these efforts to fix it worked.

My SIM errors are the definition of random, I get one error right after another in just a few minutes, or it will stay lit up and working for hours.

So I put my wife's SIM card in there to make sure it wasn't the SIM itself making the problem. She's never had a problem with her SIM in her Note 2. Guess what, she let me use her SIM in my S4 and it wasn't very long and there it was again. "Please insert a valid SIM" emergency calls only. I gave her back her SIM as soon as I saw the error, as she was not happy about having the cover off the back of her Note 2. I did not get the error when I put my SIM into her Note 2, but was not able to test it for very long, as I got the error on my S4 with her chip so soon.

Next I am going to peel it apart as thoroughly as I can and look for any connector plug that can be unplugged and snapped back in. There was only one little ribbon with a 24 pin connector from the new tray to the motherboard. I'll pull that off again too, and inspect it with a magnifying glass.

I will report if I am able to figure out how to fix this problem.

My wife thinks it's because I flash it, but I doubt returning to stock is even worth the effort. I've never heard of a ROM being the culprit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fukenbiker:
more tape

It occurred to me that the tape making the SIM chip thicker seemed to help the problem and less SIM errors.

I will also mention the replacement tray was identical to the one I thought was bad.

I was about to take apart the S4 again when I decided to try lots of tape! I stacked 4 or 5 layers of transparent scotch tape on the back of the SIM chip and it was very snug to slide into the slot.

It was so snug it barely returned from it's "in click"....

I am pleased to report an "up time" of over 16 hours, and that's the longest "up time" achieved since getting run over by a full sized Suburban on Olympic Boulevard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Goliath27:
How many pieces of tape did you use? I have been having the same problem and one piece helped for a little but but it has since occurred a lot more often.

Any fixes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ssn713:
I guess I dropped my phone one too many times... started getting the no sim error last week. A reboot fixes it temporarily but the error always comes back (sometimes I'm good for 5 hours sometimes its 5 minutes). Tried the tape method without much luck. Went to the AT&T store to swap out my sim... still no worky. Looks like my only options are replace the phone or fix the hardware. I'd rather not send in for warranty repair/replacement as I don't want to lose the ability to run a custom recovery.

Anyone have any personal experience with replacing the sim/micro sd tray or sending in for third party repair? Found this tutorial on youtube. It looks pretty straight forward and the part is fairly cheap (~ $9) but not sure its worth the risk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ssn713:
Took the plunge and replaced the sim/micro sd tray myself following the tutorial above. It was pretty painless and only took about 20min. Everything is working and no sim error messages over the past day. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Goliath27:
I might keep this in mind, but will wait to see if you really fixed it.

I haven't had a sim error in over a week now, and before that it was over a week as we (just that one time in between).

Sony know what made the problem go away but so far so good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ssn713:
Well crap... insert sim error just came back (probably jinxed myself with my post). Not sure if it's hardware or software but it's definitely not the sim reader itself. May try to revert to stock just to rule out some variables.

Long story short, don't bother wasting your time, money, or taking the risk of replacing the sim tray.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Goliath27:
Me too. Happened twice yesterday.

Is there a possible tasker setting that we can make to restart the sim card if it gets disconnected?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] skullassfreak:
possible fix

So guys I found a solution that worked with my phone. It seems that the ribbon connector that connects the Sim and microsd is really temperamental so just push down on it and reboot and signal should come back. As a permanent fix I took a 1/4" piece of foam rubber weather stripping and stuck it to the top of the ribbon cable (where it attaches to the mother board). This kept permenant tension on the connector when I put the plastic back in place.
