[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khader2:
i really want to stay with a AOSP rom (CM 10.2 or Illusion 4.3) but when i go to a AOSP rom i get reall bad signal (1 bar or nothing) living in chicago on verizon. When i go with a TW rom using 4.1.2 the signal is great. currently i'm using Hyperdrive RLS15 and the signal is great get 4 or 5 bars. has any one else had similar issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Carloskeee:
I never had that drastic of signal issues. At my house I get poor reception. (2bars max). On TW I get 2bars. On AOSP I was only getting 1. I recently flashed Latest cm10.1.3 RC2 and my signal issues have greatly increased over prior builds.

Just my 2¢

Also. I know the new AOSP ROMs require the new baseband MF1. Are you updated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I get very bag signal at my work. I just switched to an aosp rom and I can actually send texts better than before. Instead of failing 8x, it only fails 2x. I'll take it though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
On the 4.3 based roms there still may be some legitimate signal /data issues.

On 4.2.2 aosp ROMs the issue is mostly cosmetic, you have the same signal, but the ROM show you less bars.

Check out signal in phone status before assuming you are getting worse signal.

There are still some issues with data handoffs in aosp, but it isn't as bad as it once had been.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khader2:
Yes I'm using the latest MF1 firmware. I even reflashed the firmware and all getting bad signal with and AOSP roms. Is the something I need to do with the radio or kernel. I tried a few kernels and still same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
So far every new version of AOSP has had signal problems at the very beginning. Due to that fact I usually wait until the problem fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Androideka5:
I'm on Masta's unofficial CM 10.2, and my signal is all around better than my old TW ROM (Hyperdrive RLS 14/15)

If you're responding to me, make sure to quote me so I get an immediate email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
OK so I just had access to my gf's phone. I'm running PA, she's on stock tw rooted. I had both phone side by side. Both phones read the same dmb and asu. Her phone had 3 bars mine had 1. I think its safe to say that Aosp Roms just display signal different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khader2:
status

Just an update i went to Illusion's 4.2.2 and the signal is OK, i don't get drop call like i was getting when trying a 4.3 rom. so i'm going to stay with this until they get the 4.3 bugs ironed out. It just freaks me out to see only 1 bar for signal.

do any of you guys of which rom is the closest to making the GS3 to look like a GS4?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tomglass:
I set up GV as my voice mail but voice mails still go to the Verizon VM. I "undid" and "redid" the set up numerous times, but still don't have the VMs going to GV. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas? Thanks for any help...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ocj:
I ran into an error setting up my google voice as well. When I got to the end of the setup, from what I remember, I chose to just ignore the error. I think that all the errors come up because Verizon wants you to use their paid visual voicemail service. If you ignore all the errors through the installation and get to the end, it does end up using google voice as your primary vm. At least mine did.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
You sure you set it up correctly? Sometimes I notice I think I did, but it didn't stick. Settings/call/Voicemail service/

My service still said my carrier. Had to confirm twice or something like that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pmterp:
If the VZW VM is still picking up unanswered calls it means you have not activated call forwarding for no answer (what sends the calls to VM). Dial *71+your GV number and hit send.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tomglass:
Thanks for all the suggestions... I've tried everything posted and it still doesn't go to GV. I even checked the Verizon Web site and it shows the call forwarding set to my GV number. It seems as though Verizon VM is picking up before the call forwarding to GV jumps in. Is there a way to disable Verizon VM? Thanks again for the help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Ok, I've got a question about GV. My voicemails are going to GV, but under "call" settings it says my voicemail is still my carrier. Is it supposed to say Google?

Also, are we supposed to get some sort of notification of a new voicemail with GV? Because I don't.

Thanks

For Google Play Edition 4.3 ROMS

Hey guys, I love the Google Play Edition rom with the exception of poor quality Mms picture messaging. So I modded the Mms.apk to allow for 1000k Mms messages rather than 300k.

I packaged this into a flashable zip and it's all yours to use. Feel free to use this in your roms devs.

Download:

Edited: September 13th -- Raised max resolution to 3000x3000

Download Flashable zip here
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] BadAzDB:
Can you please mod the Sense 5.0 one too?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
I can yes.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] BadAzDB:
It would be highly appreciated
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
The method is different though. You could even do it yourself its in something like system/customize/defaults.xml or something like that. I'm not home so I can't find out exactly but if you find that file you can edit the section that says 300k to 1000k and then wipe your data for the messaging app.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
Actually there is a command you have to run afterwards. I will tell you more when I'm home

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] martyotaku:
same here messaging app is gone?

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] cdordon:
To clarify, it shows up in /system/app but not in the app drawer in Nova
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
Honestly that happened to a couple days ago, I had to reflash the rom(No wiping) and then boot it to get the old Mms back.

Then you can try flashing this, it's your modded one except it's signed, I apparently didn't do that last time. But like I said, if you just haul off and flash this, it's probably not going to show up since you didn't reflash the rom. But you can try whatever you want.

Can you report back if this works..
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] cdordon:
It did, it worked!
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] cdordon:
After letting it stew a few days, the images are still compressed. Not as drastically, but definitely still compressed.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
Well the max resolution is 2000x2000, I can up it to 3000x3000 if you would like to see no compression with the pictures you take on the phone. Since all my pictures are below 1000k and 2688pixels height or width

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] nor-ric:
How did you accomplish this? I'm trying to do this on my One S. Would you mind sharing please? :)
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
Using apktool I decompiled the Mms.apk using the GPE framework-res.apk framework installed and while decompiled I edited the mms-config.xml

The resolution is self explanatory but the max size is in bytes so make sure you get it right. Then recompile.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] nor-ric:
Thanks mate! :)

And then will I need to use the command line to reset the whole system configuration or will the mod apply immediately?

Thanks!
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
Immediately if you repackaged it and flash in recovery.

Is there any possible way to get the Google mms.apk to work on Sense roms? I despise the sense messaging app. The Google one works fine except sending mms.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
Sure just flash it then delete /data/data/com.android.mms and reboot, mms should work after that. Should.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] demitrix:
Wow. Thank you so much for that. Worked like a charm.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Mr. Droid:

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] wildwill95:
Would it be possible to mod the mms.apk to turn on auto retrieve, even with data off, like the sense mms?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] levi727:
misplaced but relevant

I realize this is for the HTC One, but really this thread is the closest to what I'm looking for.

I have a GS4 and have flashed a Google Play edition ROM on it. Everything is fine with it except the quality of the MMS outbound message.

Do you know about achieving this same goal but for the GS4? Think it's possible? Given that both are the "Google Play edition?"
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] yUmadBro:
yes been looking for this thanks op!
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
Definitely possible. I'll need the Mms.apk and the framework-res.apk.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] levi727:
Awesome...

I've added it to a zip file below. I'm guessing it's a deodexed ROM as it has an adjacent .odex file with it. Thanks for looking at it and seeing what you can do.

This would be on T-Mobile which has a 1MB cap on MMS.

GPE GS4 MMS
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
The odex file means its not deodexed. Which also means I can't mod it. But no worries. Later when I'm home I'll download the gpe deodexed rom and extract from there. Should be up late tonight.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] tmlhodge:
This apk I have attached is for the Galaxy S4 Google Edition only, you can use it on an odexed or deodexed rom it doesnt matter, just replace the Mms.apk in system/apps and change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

Then reboot.

If you experience issues with Mms sending, then delete the folder /data/data/com.android.mms

Edit: The change in this apk is the max resolution was brought up to 3000x3000
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] whorider:
This made me laugh..good stuff
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] levi727:
Awesome. I'll give it a go. I appreciate your help and effort changing that around for me!
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] wildwill95:
Would it be at all possible to mod the mms.apk to allow it to behave similarly to the HTC messages app with regards to mms? E.g. automatically turn data on when you send or receive a picture then automatically turn it off. Thank you for your time and hard work!

HELP ME
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Youre on me7 trying to flash the mdk firmware. Once on me7 you cant revert back to mdk. You cant install custom roms on me7 or custom recovery. Im guessing you flashed a custom recovery and when you tried to boot into recovery it put you in download mode correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gershonluca:
Yeah that's what happened. What are my next steps to have a working phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CatsTide:
This is what I did...Battery pull...when you put the battery back in hold the down volume,power and home buttons. as soon as the phone vibrates release the power button and keep holding the other 2. when the prompt comes up"do you really want to do this" or something like that,click no. should boot up normally then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
That will work but youll have to do it everytime you boot. Flash the me7 image through odin and youll be good to go after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CatsTide:
I read that too but I'm not having to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gershonluca:
I just tried that but when it reboots it goes to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
My bad I mis spoke. Everytime you try to get into recovery itll do that. Reflashing me7 is still suggested so you will atleast have a stock recovery. I also suggest checking out the me7 safestrap thread because when its released youll be able to use custom TW roms then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gershonluca:
So right now there is no way for me to have a working phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Flash the stock me7 image through odin. If you have data/apps you dont want removed use the no wipe images.

Short answer, You can't until safestrap is up and going since you're now stuck with no loki workaround.

Like addiso said no romming for the moment. I would look into xposed ( google xposed framework) and the wanam module from the play store. I actually went from custom roms back to a stock deodexed me7 rom using the aforementioned and i love it. Youll atleast be able to make some mods to your phone that way.

Hi everyone.

I recently moved and am unable to get internet hookup through Fios or Time Warner for at least several weeks.

After I called someone, I got this bug that is bothering me when I have I unlock my phone .I think it has to do with the pandora app. Please help
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shimee:
I have the same issue and I'm trying to figure it out. I suppose we can help each other narrow it down. Are you able to reproduce this? So far I haven't figured out how to make it happen and thought it only happens randomly. The only way I figured out how to get rid of it is by pressing pause then unlocking the phone.

Next time you get this, post a list of running apps.

Last time this happened to me what I had running was:

Settings

Facebook

Messenger

MightyText

8tracks

Accuweather

Pandora

Media

ExchangeServices

GooglePlayServices

GoogleServices

Gmail

When I killed the MightyText app the lockscreen bug went away. You wouldn't happen to have MightyText on your phone, would you? Or something that syncs your SMS's and phonecalls to a tablet.

My suggestion is to recreate the bug then go through your Running Apps list one-by-one until you disable the app that is causing this.

Sorry but null IMEI isn't fake IMEI

Difference:

Null IMEI means you don't even have any data for the IMEI oh and it's bad!

fake IMEI means you do have a data which is corrupt. Nothing more only digits has been changed.

There's a different between those

I remember having null IMEI and my backup didn't help at all service center was forced to swap motherboard to get IMEI working.

Dear All,

I tried to do things by myself with searching but it gets worse and worse, so I need your kind help here.

Problem :

my phone got in bootloop out of nothing

. and it's still like that.

At bootloader, nothing helped me. It was showing :

***TAMPERED***

***LOCKED***

VLE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO-1.15.50.05.29

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

eMMC-boot

Dec 14 2012, 17:10:57:-1

things I tried :

1. with From HTC Dev I made it UNLOCKED > success

2. I tried a couple of recoveries, many times, twrp-2.3.3.-ville, twrp-2.6.0.0-ville, clockwork-6.0.3.1-ville so on > fail

none got me into a recovery screen, some showed me HTC opening screen with 'this is for development puposes only ..' but then, bootloop with normal HTC screen

3. I downloaded Hasoon's all in one tool kit. With the tool :

I erased the cache > success (before; with the bootloader, it was going to bootloop)

reboot the phone > success (then goes to bootloop)

APK installer/Data Backup > fail (i still want to save my numbers and photos)

4. I tried to Flash Factory RUU.zip. with the Toolkit. It got to the gray HTC logo on black screen but I realized I don't have the RUU.zip

I looked everywhere but couldn't find anything relevant, matching radio numbers, or with HBOOT or CID numbers. And I read guys totally bricked with the wrong RUU and I got scared, and unplugged the phone.

Now phone is still in bootloop, and bootloader screen shows like above but UNLOCKED.

Now, can I still recover the phone with my data in it ? Or is there still a way I can back it up ?

Is it too late or was impossible from the beginning ?

And how can I recover my phone keeping the S-OFF status ? (read somewhere, this is sth valuable)

I have done these in 2 sessions, starting with 0 knowledge, but I gave up now.

Many Thanks ! :angel:

You are s-off. Alright.

What was the last thing you flashed?
[HTC One S] batistutankamon:
Actually, I don't remember :(
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
okay do you remember your Original CID?

If not, what carrier is it associated with?
[HTC One S] batistutankamon:
Original CID is CID-1111111111

it's still with the same CID. Not sure how many 1's should be there though. Is it OK ? Or I can reply when I get home to count.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
No, it's SuperCID. Original CID is something else.

Oh well, no problem. Just connect your phone in fastboot mode and run this RUU Here
[HTC One S] batistutankamon:
Great, thanks !

How am I going to run the RUU ? can I make it from 'cmd' screen on the PC ?

Can I use Hasoon's Tookit with Flash factory RUU.zip ? (I guess no, since it asks for .zip file, not .exe)

Will this keep my data on the phone, or it's too late ? and will my phone stay S-OFF or it's too late for it also ?

Thanks again !
[HTC One S] batistutankamon:
how to run the RUU is like below ?

RUU Flashing

Connect your Android device to your computer, Most RUU's are .exe files which will only run in Microsoft Windows natively or in Linux/Mac OS X via Wine

Download the RUU for your device,

Run the RUU with your phone plugged in to your computer via its USB cable.

Follow the RUU's instructions for flashing.

Unless errors arise your device is now flashed.

just connect and run the exe ?
