Hi everyone!

Some days after the update, I can say a few things more.

- For the same kind of usage, the battery life is much, much better than it was before. With calls and wifi on all day, and light use, it is going for almost 2 days. (BTW, I don't use the FB app, I use a widget from APW, that show me the feed, and use the web interface)

- Since the update, I didn't see bugs nor the device freeze.

- The focus on the camera seems better and faster. And, photos taken by other programs, like whatsapp, are taking less time than before too.

- Since I have a ton of apps installed and in use, the RAM usage is still almost in a 1GB. Which is great for me, cause I have another 350MB available!

- In the normal use, with wifi/3g web navigation, music and movie playback, it stays cool all the time. With some games it get a little warm, with another games, it starts to get hot, but still handleable.

This is by far, the best deal available! Way faster that my previous MotoG 1st gen 16GB, have a slot card, a beautiful and a tad larger screen, and a slightly bigger and removeable battery. It is really a great smartphone! Kudos for Samsung!

Go into settings, click on about phone and tell me what baseband is he on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
You need to research how to root your specific build. They're not all done the same way. As far as a custom recovery, your ONLY option is Safestrap. I suggest you do a lot of reading before you run into bigger problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
Since he's on nk1, he can still downgrade back to nc5. Go to this thread and get the full wipe nc5:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xan3x:
OK. My baseband says NC5 now, according to plan. Is towelroot my only option? Is safestrap my only recovery option? I thought that if you try to flash a recovery to try a rom when you are rooted with towelroot that it will brick the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
I don't know if Towelroot is your only option for root, but it's what I used and it worked fine. As far as recovery, like I said above, Safestrap is your ONLY option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
We can only use towelroot and safestrap. There are a few good roms in the development section that we can flash. Hyperdrive, echoerom, and Eclipse are solid. There are a few others as well that are closer to stock or are hybrids (aosp feel with TW base). Check out that section and flash only the ones that say are compatible with SS. I'm running echoerom v39.1. Be sure to read all the instructions since some of these roms may have other files that need to be flashed with it. Happy flashing!

That's a good news!!

Tell us more about this version!

Is it root?

Do we need special kernel?

Any bugs (LTE, wifi, bluetooth, GPS)

Add-ons?

Do we need to do a full wipe if coming from the 8.2 unicorn version?

Cheers
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] JNewms:
Seriously? Of course you have to do a full wipe when going from KitKat to lollipop. Read the OP, there's a link to the change log
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Mastertryce:
Sure it includes SuperSU.

Special kernel ? Whooot ?

No

Add-ons?

Yes you need to wipe everything!
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Monster Inc.:
OMG! It's Dirty Unicorn! I've been waiting for so long! I'm gonna flash it now straightaway. :cool:

I'll tell you if there's any bugs or problem! :highfive:
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] aftnoon2:
Sorry if I seem stupid, but we can assume : 1 This is an stock based custom Rom, not AOSP or AOKP. 2 The kernel is stock tweaked.

So, we flash it through custom recovery following your instructions.

Excuse me, I'm pretty newby into the Nexus world. Even I don't have yet touched my N7 3g! :)

I'm yet into the grabbing information here & there phase...

Thanks for your job!
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Mastertryce:
This Rom is AOSP based

Take note that this ROM is for nexus 7 LTE , don't flash it on 3g or wifi variants!
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] donb1:
Sweet, clean flashed from 4.4 but just had to reboot to start,thought I would try it on my 3g and it works fine so far. Not run DU for a while but just had to give it a go.

Correction,lol. No sim connection on 3g but not too bothered at this time as can use WiFi for a while,any chance of sorting for 3g guys?
[Nexus 7 (2013) LTE Android Development] Mastertryce:
Wait what ?

1. There is no 3G version of the 2013 nexus 7

2. If this ROM boots for you , well then you own a nexus 7 lte (deb)

3. Network should be fine , go and check your APN settings

Following on what I posted earlier!

The LTE doesn't work. When I boot my phone for the first time, it checks for service connection. After 5 minutes, it failed. Tried to skip and then when to settings and check there is no SIM card & APN is empty. I tried adding my service APN but still it's not working.

Thank you very much for your hard work. I love all the DU stuff that you add in, it's awesome! Looking forward to more.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
Thank you for all those superb WM6 upgrades.

I have one prob with all of them though. The Bluetooth A2DP gives a hissing sound. Using the Widdcom drivers or any of the registry improvements does not fix it. Downgrading to WM5 instantly solves the sound probs.

In WM5 changing from joint stereo to dual mono (in the registry) created the same problem, but changing the same entry in the registry does not work for me in WM6 (HTLM/software/microsoft/bluetooth/ad2p/settings/UseJointStereo).

Does WM6 always use dual mono or could something else be the problem?

Any suggestions are very welcome!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abubasim:
Throw away your A2DP stuff buy a USB to 3.5mm converter with microphone and a good pair of wired stereo head phones.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
I will definatly buy a converter as soon as I can find one that allows me to charge my phone and use the headphones at the same time.

Still, A2DP was working reasonably well for me on WM5, but it would be a shame to downgrade just for that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] abubasim:
Something like this maybe?

I'm using this one myself. With the longer wire to the 3.5mm plug it allows me to use my excellent SonyEricsson HPM-70 earplugs and HPM-85 cans.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cybertron:
the hissing sound has been mentioned many many times, search the forum for it.

There are no great solution to it, it depends on the headset, most headsets are not compatible with MS BT-stack

The solution : There are two ways to fix this, and it depends on which headset you are having,

1. You can try changing in the registry (find sleuths (?) post about a2dp fix )

you can also try my reg-fixes: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=278778

2. You can install the Widcomm stack, (it can go along the ms btstack just fine) but it is not 100% stable and so on, it has absolutly stunning audio quality though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
I did search a lot before posting. It is not easy to find much about it.

Well there is 1 solution, WM5. That is what makes it so strange. WM5 sounds much better than WM6 and/or the Widcomm stack.

I don't understand how everyone keeps talking about the stunning quality of the Widcomm drivers. They sound much worse than the WM5 microsoft BT stack.

I think most of the talk about drop-outs has to do with the headsets. I've tried many of them and only the HTC has a good range and no dropouts (even when connected to my laptop).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cybertron:
well, that is because the widcomm stack is far superier in soundquality than ms. BUT it depends on the headset!

Different headset works better with different stacks!

one must try it out for himself!

What kind of headset do you have?

and wm6 (and ms) is not known for having a good a2dp stack at all. if it works in wm5 then maybe you should stick with wm5 instead of switching. I mean AKU 3.3.1 (or 3.3) is pretty good it is fast and stable, while wm6 is considered "beta"

I can't really think of any specifik features that wm6 offers that I MUST have. But I use it to try it, and I don't mind loosing data or so, and btw. I have a plantronic 260 headset and it is great with Widcomm but one can't stand listenening on it in wm5 or wm6 because of hissing and bad quality (even after all tweaks)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jompao:
With Sleuths A2DP fix and the manual registry tweaking (HTCtweaker doesn't do it fully), I set bitpool etc to 52 and it sounds pretty nice on the HBH-DS970.

[HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings]

Value name=BitPool; Value data=52 (Decimal)

Value name=MaxSupportedBitPool; Value data=52 (Decimal)

Modify, Value name=UseJointStereo; Value data=0 (Decimal, Originally 1)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
I tried almost all headsets. I can't remember that the results depended on the headset. All headsets had the same problem with WM6.

I do realize that my standards are probably too high and that no bluetooth will never do it. The Plantronics 260 is one of the few headsets that I didn't try. The 290 was a shock to me. Even wired the sound was absolutly awfull.

Even if the bluetooth is worse than WM5, WM6 has a number of features that are important to me. It is faster and definatly more stable on my phone. Most important however is that it has Voip built-in.

BTW the only headset that does a good job seems to be the HTC headset. It has a very good connection (up to a few meters), no drop-outs and you can connect your own headset to it, so it sounds reasonable. The difference in connection is not just with the HTC phones, but also on my laptop. A huge difference with any other headset I've tried.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] computerlove87:
Good 'phones

Have you tried using the audio enhancement feature of htweakc_2.0?

Also, the htc headset is based on the itech clip r35 and itech clip radio, I have the clip radio and it works wonders for a2dp on my TyTn and laptop. The secret is that they both use bluetooth 2.0 class 2 which is a perfect match for the hermes. although I can still hear that hissing on wm5 and 6. I thought they upgraded the bt stack in wm6?

also a good 3.5 mm/usb converter that is coming soon is the one for the p4350 which is a wired remote control/3.5 mm jack

http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=145157

or tocharge and listen at the same time you just need a y cable

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
I think I've tried every tweak here, including htweakc. I do not hear any difference. Is the hissing for you the same on WM5 and WM6? For me it is a huge difference (WM5 sounds much much better than any reg. hack or even the Widcomm drivers).

I did also try the itech clip (don't remember the type number) and that had the same great reception as the HTC. The advantage of the HTC is the 3.5 connector for you own headphone. Unfortunately both of them are bluetooth 1.2, which is a slight disadvantage.

The convertor is nice(and I'll probably get one), but I like to listen to music in bed and do not like having the phone under my pillow :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jompao:
Did you read my previous post? Did you try to manually edit registry as I wrote? Htweakc doesn't do it correctly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
Yes I did try those tweaks, but they do not change anything at all :(

As far as I can tell the A2DPfix is aimed at fixing the skipping problem. However when using the HTC headset I have no skipping at all. Not 1 single skip in over an hour listening! I did try the A2DP fix anyway with no result.

On WM5 changing the jointStereo setting to 0 would introduce the same hissing that I hear in WM6. Unfortunatly in WM6 changing from 0 to 1 and back doesn't make any difference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cybertron:
you know, if you are not changing jointstereo in wm5 then you are not using stereo, then you could just use any monoheadset (as the sound would be the same)

jointstereo = 1 = mono (there are hissing, but it is hidden in low quality audio)

jointstereo = 0 = stereo (hissing is more "bad" because it uses twice as much bandwidth )

and all the other tweaks that are out there they work on wm5 ! (remember you have to soft reset your phone after regedit...(and before that you must wait around 15 minutes for wm5/6 to save your changes to rom before reset)

most of the fixes don't make so much changes in wm6 .

but widcomm should give you a real boost, are you sure you are pairing with the widcomm stack (high quality audio setting???)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
Jointstereo is definatly not mono. It is the default setting in WM5 and it is indeed different from Dual mono (setting it to 1), but it is not mono.

You can hard reset your device (hold the power button a while) to have the settings written instantly to the rom.

I am sure that I am pairing with the Widcomm stack (high quality audio). It is indeed better, but defiantly not worth all the problems that come with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Percz:
Just my two cents, I had hissing problem before and it was nothing to do with the Hermes but my headphones needed flashing. It's only for the Motorola HT820...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=276406&highlight=ht820+update

But as you say you have tried other headsets I guess this is not the problem

Also there is a guide that might be usefull...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=268498&highlight=ht820+update

To be honest I think the sound is great in WM6!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
I've tried the Widcomm stack again. The sound improves a bit, though it still sounds like Beyonce has a speaking disorder :)

Unfortunately there is no hands-free (which is more important to me than audio) and occasional skipping is now introduced :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] laaban:
I say damn! This worked totally perfect! At last I can use my Jabra bt620s for music as well.

Earlier I had the skipping prob., later (under WM6) the hissing prob - and now it's just clear pleasure. :)

Thanks a lot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Have you (or anyone else in here) used the Jabra BT320s?? Its the same kind of thing as the HTC clip.?

Im looking for something along them lines but not sure if i want to spend as much on the HTC clip version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
For me there was a huge difference between the Jabra 320s and the HTC. The Jabra had lot's of connection problems and speed(!) problems (the speed of the music was not consistent). Also the range of the Jabra was limited (< 1 meter).

The HTC does not have any skipping at all and has a good range (a few meters).

I tested it both on my MDA Vario II (with WM6) and my Dell Laptop (with built-in bluetooth, using the latest Toshiba bluetooth stack).

For me the difference is well worth the money. I returned the 320s and bought the HTC.

What remains is that none of the devices sounded like a wired device. Since both the Jabra 320s and the HTC allow you to connect your own headset you can very clearly hear the difference.

On the Vario II the difference between wired and bluetooth is huge because of the hissing. On my laptop there is still some hissing and a clear difference between a wired connection.

I am fairly sure that bluetooth is not 44.1 Khz/16 bit (CD quality) but uses some kind of compression, making it comparable to a 10-12 bit connection.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Ive heard the A2DP quality over BT its VERY clear, i used my friends laptop to transmit some music to my friends A2DP headphones...however due to the problems ive noticed on the TyTN ive held back getting anything for it.

Ive posted this a couple of times and not sure if it is possible.......i figure i could test out the A2DP hacks and tweaks by using my laptop/pc as the A2DP speakers!? But it seems that the best XP will do is to send the music, not receive it?!

Looks like the HTC clip will be my purchase but id REALLY like to try it all out first.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
I just tried another WM6 version and indeed jointstereo was mono on that version.

Microsoft does not make it easy on us :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cybertron:
no they dont, I also tried going back to aku 3.3.1 (leaf edition)

there are better quality with ms stack in that one not great but better,

however using the widcomm stack in 3.3.1 is not recommended (it didn't improve quality that much)

I have also tried LVSW latest rom with a a2dp file patch (not sure what it is though,...going through it later today) and it is somewhat better (but audio i mono i belive) the hissing is there, but it is better bass in it (as far as I can hear)

Widcomm is much better, although there are slight hissing problems with certain songs.

going to try out some things later today, and report back. if i have the time (my son is very sick, has very high fever)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
Hope your son is getting better soon.

The Widcomm drivers indeed have a better quality, but they do not switch between hands-free and stereo, so are not an option, unfortunately.

Commercial A2DP stack

Was it Kyphur who said he was testing a commercial a2dp stack?

Can't seem to find it anymore, but I find it very promissing that there is a new A2DP stack being developped somewhere :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cybertron:
hmm, I thought i read EVERYTHING and here you are, saying that the Kyphur has maybe a new a2dp stack!!

Do you think it was the widcomm/broadcomm stack he was talking about?

however, I am starting to believe that the problem perhaps isn't in the stack (well, not entirerly) but with the codec, since some of my mp3's are very high quality (and sound great) some others sound awful...going to make some test to a specific mp3 that sound great and one that sound bad and test it.

EDIT!!! SUCCESS! Initial test indicates that it is the mp3 codec support that must be bad in a2dp! I converted my two testfiles to WMA files (which is nativly windows so to speak) and the audio quality seems ALOT better! I must try this more, and try different codecs / file formats! But the most intressting part is that there were ALMOST (not entirely) NO HIZZING SOUND WHAT SO EVER! , well alittle, but a lot less than the same file in mp3 format . (my files are 44.100 khz, 16bit, 128kbit in both mp3 and in wma and wma sounded a lot better, much like the widcomm stack)

EDIT2: Ok, not as good as I originally thought, as I went throught the "UseJointStereo" = 0 thing i realize: 0 = mono, 1= joint stereo and 2= stereo (in wm6 atleast) and I had UseJointStereo = 0 so I was in mono, still there is a difference

thought it is not as much, i will try more later on tonight..

EDIT3: Ok, more testing news, when using JointStereo = 0 (perhaps mono?, (hasn't testen any good "real" stereo file yet)) and bitpool 58 with a mp3 file with bitrate 96 the sound is acceptable, it is not good, and it is not bad, the hissing is almost gone , when using for instance 320kbit/s stream the hissing is much worse!

i will look further.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] verge:
cybertron,

Is there anything I can test for you to help out? I have been looking for a fix to this for weeks. Unlike some of the posts here, I noticed the problem on both WM5 and WM6. I went to a circuit city over the weekend and paired my phone with a Sony BT2500 care stereo just to make sure it was not a problem with my headset. The same problem existed. jointstereo = 0 Ok quality with some distortion in the higher frequencies any "improvements" by moving to true stereo or higher quality sampling and the distortion became much worse to the point of being unacceptable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cybertron:
ok, i have almost given up hope on the ms stack, however, i decided to give the widcomm stack another go, and woila, i got MUCH better quality there (than I have had with widcomm before)

Followed this guide from http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1350&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more1350

and used these reg-hacks into the widcomm:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WIDCOMM\Plugin\AV]
"Blocks"=dword:00000004
"SubBands"=dword:00000008
"LineSpeed"=dword:00000100

Linespeed is equal to 256kbit/s, if skipping try using 192, then 128

one can also change subbands and blocks to eliminate skipping.

or use sleuths a2dp fix, (seems to work anyway)

Edit: the quality is almost perfect
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] verge:
I am not sure this is a possiblity for me. I read, in this thread I believe, that the widcomm stack does not switch between A2DP and wireless headset usage. I need this functionality since my stereo headset is also my primary wireless headset for phone usage. What has been your experience with this solution?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cybertron:
i don't like using my stereo headset for phone usage, but with the widcomm you must pair it as a both stereo headset AND "normal" headset,

don't know if it makes a difference but olne might try it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Webhmaster:
You can pair the Widcomm both stereo and handsfree. The problem is that after making a phone-call the driver sticks with hands-free. The sound is mono and AM-quality until you manually switch it to stereo again!
