Whats the point in using DCD and all this mess instead of the offical sprint released stuff?
I used the DCD stuff with these versions:
ROM Version: dcd 3.0.4
Rom date: 2/22/08
Radio version: 3.37.20
and now I've updated to this newest stuff and I see 0 differences. Where the heck is the full change log (not the per version one)? I couldn't get youtube to work on my phone before, and I still cant get it to work now. When the hell is someone going to fix that?
I remember a long time ago I look and look, AND LOOKED for a work around, and tried several things with 0 luck.
My main reason for upgrading all this in my phone tonight was so that I could be able to record all my phone conversations and any software I've tried Resco audio recorder, and this weird SPWM5Callrec.cab program all give me the error that it cannot start recording while I'm in a phone call. Does anyone have a fix or work around for this too?
Thanks guys.
P.S. Its on a HTC Mogul.
3.0.4 came out months ago. try updating to 3.3.4 and see if you come across any differences in dcd's latest and the stock rom. i guarantee you will never go back to stock.
edit: i also recommend updating to the 3.42.50 radio. much better reception, and i havent gotten a dropped call since i updated. (although i rarely got them before. ohh verizon...)
also: recording calls without the opposing party's consent is illegal. there are programs which supposedly do it fine, but i can't see how recording calls is your main reason for updating your rom anyway.

Did you PAY for DCD's release? If not, then be MORE considerate, he's releasing ROM's because he can, not because it's his job....
Its pretty straight forward
Install DCD 3.3.4
You gain memory, speed, GPS abilities, etc.
You haven't been reading if you simply think there are no differences.

I know all about the legality of recording calls. Thats beaten to death and back. I still prefer to do it.
I know its free. I'm not disrespecting the guy for making it.
You guys still didnt answer the questions about recordings and youtube.
Also is there a executable for the new radio rom? I have hell trying to get my sd card to work to do this. I dont have 100% the proper equipment to do it, but I can still do it this way, it just takes me alot longer and is alot more tedious and annoying.
Also does the sprint provided one not come with GPS enabled? I haven't reinstalled google maps just yet to find out.
If it's beaten to death, you would know that the hardware in the mogul is not capable of recording calls.

Thank you for showing me the similarities between legality and hardware It's almost as if black = white now. Yes yes, I see it now.
In case you didnt understand I ment the legality issue of recording phone calls has been beaten to death across every google result I've found.

Depends on your local laws. The state laws where I'm at allows you to record phone calls as long as one person knows about it. Which is of course you who is recording the conversation. Trust me...been down that road and had to use a couple in court before.
Pardon me, if I may

Why do I sense arrogance in you. I mean, isn't there any other way to ask your question or make a point without it sounding like that? DCD does great work, and true enough you nee to try his ROMs before you comment on no difference. I have used all his ROMs and each time there is a remarkable difference, GPS Speed, good audio, nice reception.
Youtube: If you search the forum, there are many ways to get youtube, I would suggest you tell us what type of youtube app you are trying to use because there are just so many.
As for recording calls, there are apps out there that can do this. JUst google it, and you will have more than enough to try. If there are errors, don't blame the ROM. DCD ROMS are more functional and bring less stress to the RAM than the bloated Sprint ROM.

It's not the jobs of the people on this forum to solve your problems for you. If they do, great, but you shouldn't be using an attitude that makes it seem like you think everyone on here is being paid to solve problems for you. Maybe you didn't mean this line to come across as rude but it sure seems very rude to me.
The Flash Video Bundle with TCPMP that was posted works very well for YouTube.
You could also try this cab:

You only need an SD card... nothing else. If you have an SD card you have 100% of the proper equipment. Everything can be done directly on the phone without even having a computer. You might need software to extract a .zip or .rar file at the most although it seems you're not familiar with compressed archives (zip files) so flashing your phone might be a little advanced for you. If your SD card doesn't work very well for flashing, buy a new one. They are extremely cheap for the low capacity ones which is what you need for flashing anyway.
You claim not to mean any disrespect for DCD's ROM but then you're whining about how you think there's no point to using it and why hasn't someone fixed some problem you were having when they have... I think a better attitude might make people more willing to help you.
Well put unL33T,
I would have just called this guy a douche bag and written a note-to-self to ignore all future posts by ElementalWindX, as so far every one of his 4 posts in this thread is dripping with jackassery.
I have a feeling that either method will be just as ineffective.

You do realize that many of the amazing people who develop software and ROMs for your phone do it free of charge as a hobby, right?
If you want a change log with the entire history, I recommend you go into the threads and do a lot of copy and pasting. I'm sure there are a few other people who would be appreciative if you took the effort to help out with that instead of just crying that nobody else has. Sound fair? You take, you give.
And similarly with youtube, why don't you go to hell and fix it yourself?

If you press the X-Button in the top right hand corner of this browser window it should solve all your issues.
As people have already said... We develop for free. I have a ROM, DCD does, etc... I spend countless HOURS if not DAYS ON END working on this for very little in return. I do appreciate the people that have donated but lets face in reality we do this sort of thing for free. Sooo with that being said....
If you donate a very large sum of money to me I will solve ALL your phone needs. I'm waiting for the money... Let me know when its there.
Ok, I'm still waiting, why haven't you sent it yet?
Pretty ridiculous? Yes! Just like your rants about DCD's ROM.
Also, when you get a chance can you post some of your work. Seems you are here only to get what you can and not contribute back.
Thanks for whatever it is this post was SUPPOSED to bring!
Don't get caught up in arguing with this idiot. He is just trying to get a rise out of you. He cannot possibly be as stupid as he sounds. Must be an act to try and lure us in.....
Your first post wasn't completely clear. I've read it a couple times and it seemed you had a couple things to be addressed:

We install these ROMS because we don't like the Sprint ROM. I can't make that anymore simple. Many/Most of us try to "break" the custom roms (like DCDs) or find the bugs in them so the programmer can refine the product. Many others are here to try something new to get better performance from their phone-- again, because they don't like the Sprint ROM.

Most of the difference you dont "see" you experience. More RAM is available, the phone runs quicker and more stable. Those are the main differences you can "see" or notice.

Youtube is not something that will get fixed through a ROM. It is something that needs to be supported through software. Hence, youtubeplay, the HTC you tube application, and flash integrated web browsers.
I can't comment on the phone call recording software. I don't know anything about apps like that.
I don't see any point to this thread, if you have a question about a rom, ask it in the thread dedicated to that rom.
Also, watch the language. If you are an offending party, know that foul language is a violation of the rules here at XDA and can lead to your being banned. Remember, be respectful at all times, and if you can't do that, then don't post at all.

Hey everyone. im from the Hero CDMA forum. i have made audio fix patches for the hero that fixed the audio loss for 2.1 roms.
I recently ended development for the audio fixes because the issue began to rise in people with stock heros. but with that aside, i will create a fix for eris users if enough of you have the problem. i believe i have seen 7-8 people with it. anyways leave a comment telling me you have the issue, when it happened, what roms cause it, and what your software builds are, and what roms dont cause the issue. thanks for the cooperation and i hope i can help
Hey Avalaunchmods!
Thanks for the help with this! I am running the Aloysius (Coincidentally a Hero port):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663893
Audio usually cuts out for me when I am receiving a notification. It will kind of stutter/jitter and then continue to play.
one of my custom ringtones cut out on an incoming call once, but only once. so it may have only been a fluke. hadnt happened before or after.

I get the same using VanillaDroid ROM.
Thanks for the help!
I have had this problem pop up intermittently, but with increasing regularity (up to 2-3 times daily at its worst). The sound profile and volumes remain unchanged, but sometimes for no apparent reason, all audio drops. If I get a call, there is no ringer. If I get a notification, there is no audible alert. If I place/answer a call, the earpiece/speakerphone are silent, and the other party doesn't hear me. The rest of the phone's functions still work, and vibrate still works, but there is no audio from any apps or OS functions until I reboot the phone.
As for particular triggers, I haven't found any yet. I had been running ivan's 0.8t2, but have downgraded to his older 0.5.4 to see if the problem is fixed. So far it hasn't popped up, but it's only been a few days.
Thanks again for your willingness to help. I'll be sure to let you know if I see the problem resurface.
I know the fix is only possible in rooted phones, but I wanted to chime in and let you know that a lot of people on 2.1 leak v2 non-rooted are having this issue, so you can see some of the symptom reports in these threads on androidforums:

I have a non-rooted phone and I have the same issues...
If by audio problems, you mean no sound via ringtones, notification or voice over the ear piece, then I have experienced it with Ivan's 08T2. I've had it happen about three times. I did a reboot and it corrected it.
another Aloysius user here, and yep, audio problems out the wazoo. good thing I text mostly.
alright this got moved to general?
i though this would fit in development haha.
anyways ill get on a fix i believe. ill put it somewhere. not dev..
I've had audio issues, but the only thing that seems to cause it for me us getting a force close on any program that is currently playing audio, such as a music player or (worse) an alarm clock.
I've never had audio just randomly cut out on me, but it definitely all stops working after such a force close
I'm having the same audio issues. I'm currently on VanillaDroid v1.0. I experienced the issue on the eris21official-root ROM as well. It usually happens after I use the camera to snap a few pictures. If I don't use the camera, it is pretty stable. Let me know if you need any further information.

Avalaunchmods,
Since the Droid Eris kernel code was made available from HTC, have you been able to make any further progress fixing the audio loss bug for the Eris and Hero?
Right now the only solution we know of is to replace the phone. (Those of us who have gotten warranty replacements have not had the problem resurface.)
But even if the problem is related to certain hardware, it seems like there might be a way to fix the kernel's *reaction* to the problem, so that the phone doesn't become unusable.
Having the problem too.
Happened on Evil Eris and Ivans.
Any update on this? I am having the same issue on both CyanogenEris v1.1 and ELB-Cyanogen.
i am having this issue as well, running Ivans Eris_Official 1.0 Alpha. Experienced this issue on the 0.82t also. No audio from the phone's earpiece (speakerphone wont work either) when a call comes in, or if i try to call them back. have to reset the phone and then it works. I'm running setcpu at 710 now, but i wasn't on 0.82t so probably not the culprit.
My software version stats, in case it matters -
Firmware - 2.1
Baseband - 2.42.00.04.12
Kernel - 2.6.29oc [email protected]#26

hi..i'm havin this issue too!
I'm on a froyo rom now. I was on an xtr rom when I noticed this problem. Tried to flash a new rom to get rid of it and it's still there. I can use the phone for a few hours and then the only way i can answer calls is through speakerphone.

Audio Problem
I've had this problem every since the 2.1 update. My wife and I both had it (we both have a Eris) on unrooted phones. I rooted to ErisLightning and still had it, switched to Tainted Vanilla, and now I'm on Lightning Bolt. My wife is on Droid Does Pink and we've had the problem with every single rom. Sometimes when we receive or make calls, the phone will go completely mute. We can't hear the other person and they can't hear us. We can't hear a ring tone if calling someone either.
I use Google Voice and I sometimes get ghost voicemails. It will save the entire length of the voicemail, but it will be completely mute. Even if I restart and re-open GV it's still mute.
For now, we're just rebooting whenever we have this problem. Seems to be the only way to get audio back.
Hello gentlemen!
First of all, I want to thank neobuddy and everyone that he worked with on the ICS Passion ROM. I find it excellent and have been using it for the past week or so.
I do have a slight issue, though, and as I am not yet familiar with mobile development, I am not sure if the problem stems from my hardware or the software. I bought this Vibrant used, though in excellent condition. As soon as it arrived, I rooted it and installed ICS Passion on it. Therefore, I never actually used the stock software, and that is why I am unsure if this issue stems from the ROM or from the phone itself.
Anyway, my problem is that sometimes during a call, my voice will cut in and out very frequently. This occurs with various people and in various places, so it doesn't have anything to do with signal strength. I can hear the other person just fine. It also seems to only occur when I receive a call. Once I hang up and call the person back, they seem to be able to hear me just fine.
I suspect that this has something to do with one of the following:
1) Sound filtering and normalization. The way that the software handles the data that it receives from the microphone. If it was the microphone itself, I would expect this issue to be much more consistent.
2) Which network the phone uses during phone calls. I've gathered that H is for data transfer and 3G is for phone calls (for the most part). Is it possible that ICS Passion somehow fails to switch to the proper network when a call is received? This seems unlikely as I searched through the ICS Passion thread in the dev forum, but couldn't find an issue similar to mine.
Any insight would be appreciated, although I suppose if no one can help out I can just flash the stock and see if the problem persists. If it does, then I can only assume it's the phone.
Thanks!
try v 10 or v 10.6
Mute and then unmute your call. We've had this problem since cm7

I'm afraid to upgrade to v10 because some people have been experiencing issues with their phones rebooting several minutes into the call. I may try it anyway, though.
Do you know if your problem is with incoming calls only?? That's where the issue seems to be, that the mute/unmute fixes. I put 10 on about a week ago, and am loving it. Put 10.5 on yesterday, and 10.6 today, so they are working on it. I think 10.6 might have fixed it for me, so I'm so happy. Thought Bionix was going to be the end of the line, I tried a couple of gingerbread roms, and had issues!

That's what it seems like. I have not had a single "you sound like you're underwater" issue for outgoing calls.
Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'm glad to find out that the problem isn't with the phone because I can't afford to replace it for a while. I guess I'll just wait a bit and hope that these slight issues get resolved in a more stable iteration.
Hi,
I'm on ICS Passion V12 rom and I have this issue, I hope someone can advise how to solve it. Ever since I flash this ICS Passion rom, my friends start telling me that when they say something, they can hear echos back and background noises. On my end, I have no problem hearing them. I used the speaker all of the time. I believed this issue only happen when I turn on the speaker. I even lower the volume down and it's still happen.
Looking at the OP and thought this is an issue with mute/unmute so I tried it but it doesn't help. I also searched thru the forum but unable to find the answer. Is this just me with this issue? I really like this rom and hope to get this problem resolve. If you know the answer, please advise.
Thanks!

My phone does that when i turn on speaker phone also, only to the listener on the other line.
I have seen this happen on my phone as well. I have also had this problem on other non smart phones and also on the stock rom. It does seem to happen every time using the speaker phone on passion v12 though. Just last night I had it happen during normal calling (not on speaker phone) but it was only for a brief moment. The rom IS in beta so maybe it will be fixed.
Thank you for reply to my question. I went thru 950 pages last night (what a pain...hehehe) in the developer forum and found number of others are also having this issue. Some are suggesting to use V11. I probably will give that a try b/c I only use speaker for phone so I can't use phone with this issue.
Anyone know if flash to V11, do I need to do wipe, wipe, wipe before flash? I want to keep the settings and app, etc...
Any good ICS rom beside Passion?
Hey guys.
Here's the problem I'm having. People can't hear me well on the other line. Some have said that they can barely hear me, others have said it sounds all muffled. In searching I didn't find much on XDA, but did find some stuff on google about it being a known issue with the Atrix on stock software.
I tried CM10 first (epinter's thread) and now I'm on Neutrino CM7. I'm having the same problems.
Any thoughts? Is this something that is hardware related, or can a tweak or optimization help it out?
Thanks!
I'm not aware of anyone else around here having this kind of problem, so I would guess it's likely hardware-related. Either that or it's some freakish and unique software glitch. You could take it to a service center and have them clean it up, wipe and realign the mic and earpiece contacts to the motherboard or something (or you can try yourself if you're comfortable with that). Can't think of anything else to suggest.
It is a known issue and I have the same problem. On the stock u can disable noise reduction to get rid of this issue, but it is not available in CM 10

Thanks for the quick answers guys. It does seem to change on different ROMS. I'll keep you posted on what works for me.
bumping for answers lol
did you find out what was the best rom for you?
because im having the same problem and i tried the eprinter cm10 then the neutrino cm7 aswell and have same results, dont know what rom to try now
