FAQ + PSA For MaceksMod Mecha Rebirth - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

PSA: Guess what!!?? Mecha Rebirth is BACK! Well, not just yet, it will be back up tomorrow night, BIG THANKS TO ViperZ28 providing me w/the ota update to base off of! Unfortunately the sd slot in my TBolt is now dead so I will have to send builds through testers before posting them (only con of that is it'll take longer). ANYWAYS, back on topic, this thread will be used as an FAQ, if you are in the new thread, and you have a problem/question w/the ROM, you will post it here and it will be answered asap!
MECHA REBIRTH FAQ/SUPPORT SECTION:
Before updating to 4.0, you will need to update to 3.0 (see original mecha rebirth thread). Bluetooth, and PIE NAV have been fixed in 4.0, the 3rd party apps I was using for mms and contacts have been replaced w/functioning aosp apps, I have also implemented the AOSP phone app but you still need to use ics dialer to dial your calls, after you dial, you will see the aosp call screens. I am goin to look into some sensation xl and evo rom so I can find out what lines I need to add to the framework jar and res so we can get an APM.

Let's see how long it takes (not referring to a ROM either)...

Gonna flash from 2.0 to 3.0. What do I need to do to re-establish root?

Thanks for not giving up. I really like your AOSP direction. :good: I'm running 3.0 now.
I wonder if you could address the problem of having to unlock the phone just to answer a call? Related to that, the system seems to be ignoring the option of X minutes to delay lock after sleep. Mine locks immediately and during/after a phone call.

I'm glad you guys got a new base for your ROM.
I am going to lock this support thread only until your ROM is up with download link. Once that happens today (per your OP) PM me and I will immediately unlock it.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Moved to QA also already since that is where this belongs... Like my fellow mod said just shoot us a PM and we will unlock it whenever you get your DL up... Besides that where should be no talk of 3.0 rom in here since that one used the other base...

FIX:Camera & Google Talk

This fixed both my Camera and Google Talk that stopped working in Sense ROMS om 08-31-11.
FIX:
1. Go to Settings and select Date & Time.
2. Un check Automatic
3. Change the time to 08-01-11
4. Go and open your camera (it should work now)
5. Now you can go back and check Automatic in the Time & Date Setting
yes,I see log:

I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS. Thanks to the help of mpwt51 on the Android Central Forums and Snow02 on the BAMF Forums, this issues is now resolved.
Looks like Verizon put some sort of time bomb into these apps. Simply changing the date back wil resolve this issue. Of course that is no way to actually resolve it. Flash this http://db.tt/Bcltlcr instead and it should solve these two issues.

You guys are freaking geniuses. I have been looking for a solution for this for over 4 hours and found nothing. Figures, the minute I check XDA there is a solution, right there.

That wasn't the case last night when I originally posted the issue and 4 guys over at TheMikMik were flashing like mad men, including myself, to try to figure out what sickness was ailing our beloved devices! Glad there's a cure though.

This can't be flashed if not rooted, correct? I'm on GB 2.11 not rooted
It worked on GB 2.11 1nd 2.10 not rooted, Thank you very much!

Hey guys,
I'm amazed that someone actually figured out that the date is causing this problem. Seems lame that there's this code in the system with expiration dates. WTH Verizon!

I'm not really sure why, but this only fixes my google talk, but not my camera. I've tried several of the camera fix .zip files and the most common result, across multiple ROMs is that google talk gets fixed, but the camera stays black, acting like it's working, but there are no buttons and the screen is black.
I first tried this on BAMF Forever 1.10 and acheived that result. Then, I tried it on Liquid Vigorsense v1.1 (can't find v1.2 on Rom Manager and the rootzWiki link doesn't work b/c it was on multiupload) and had the same problem. Eventually, I flashed each ROM again, wiping data, cache, dalvik and batter stats multiple times and when I wen't back in to BAMF Forever, it worked. B/C I liked sense 3.5, I wanted to go back to Liquid VS, so I tried flashing back to it and sure enough, both gtalk and the camera worked.
At that point, the only thing I wanted on a sense 3.5 ROM to make my life complete was the keyboard with arrows, so I tried a few keyboard w/arrows zips and none of them worked, so I tried flashing one of the Infected ROMS (Airborne). I found a keyboard w/arrows zip within their lists, so I flashed it and got the keyboard to work, but then the camera was gone. I found a camera fix that they had and it didn't work initially, but after a few re-flashes, everything worked.
Then I got greedy and wanted my sense world clock/widget, so before flashing back to one of my backups from liquid vs, I backed up the Infected ROM and when it booted back up, gtalk and camera were broken again. I tried flashing all of my backups from liquid and bamf forever that had a working camera and the camera/gtalk were broken on them as well.
So, I've flashed Bamf SOAB and I used the keyboard zip for bamf SOAB (worked!) and the camera fix mentioned in this thread and no dice. gtalk works, but still, just a black screen camera. I've wiped and flashed and wiped and flashed each, liquid and SOAB couple of times each (each time, wiping multiple times).
I've got a hilarious 1 year old girl and really want to get back to documenting her life in the candid fashion she so often provides, but I need my camera to be fixed.
I haven't seen many posts on this topic across most of the forums/sites after Septemer, 2011, so it makes me feel like everyone else got this to work. I didn't have the problem in September. It never hit me until I had to swap out my TBolt due to the right side of my screen crapping out. When the new one came from VZW, the camera/gtalk problem happened.
Any help or ideas? (sorry for writing a book)
Much thanks in advance.

[ROM] [1/7/12] MIUIAndroid [2.1.6] [Glitch v13]

UPDATE: Due to cdma issues that I have been unable to resolve with the last 2 MIUI releases, I am not sure when I will be able to provide a current MIUI port for the Fascinate. I am still working on finding a fix for this issue in my spare time and will have a current port up as soon as I can. I will, however, post a link to a port with the apps and some of the framework updated. This will not be a full port of 2.1.20 because it will have some of the old framework along with the new framework. I'll have it up sometime today or tomorrow.
All my previous MIUI releases can be downloaded here: http://goo-inside.me/devs/weblexa/MIUI.
Here's the first release of 2012! Been running it for a few hours and seems everything is working very well! Let me know if you experience any bugs.

Is there a official port for the mesmerize as well?
Sent from my MIUI'd Mesmerize
Thanks again!
Working great! Thanks! Anyway to add the Reboot to Recovery option to the Reboot menu? I know I can do it on the command-line, it's just easier to have it on the reboot menu. Otherwise, working very smooth....
Stupid question, but how is this different than all the dev builds? Is this like the "official" CM7 release while there are still devs making nightly builds?

miuiandroid doesn't have an official Mesmerize port at this time. There may be some unofficial ports floating around on XDA.

The Reboot Recovery option was removed from the kernel. The only way to get this functionality back into the ROM would be to use one of JT's old kernels that have support for this. The 3-button method works though.

There's not many differences. Each dev tweaks their version a little bit, but this version is the official miuiandroid.com build. There haven't been any tweaks to the ROM. Its exactly the way MIUI China made it. All I did was port it to the Fascinate.

Thanks. I'm working on this now. I will try to have a fix uploaded for this sometime tomorrow. Just to clarify... The signal does work, its just that the signal bar consistently shows no signal when there is a signal.
Any chance we could get the MMS app to split or convert long sms to mms? Right now it just FCs. Thanks in advance.
I'm still getting soft button vibrates, switching from wifi to 3g requires going to airplane mode inbetween, and holding down home on the main screen does not enable torch. So basically same old November build of miui.

Have you wiped cache/dalvik? If that didn't work, have you wiped data? I haven't had any of these issues in any of my November builds, with the exception of the long press the home button to activate the torch app. This feature was removed. Anybody else experiencing any of these issues on my 1.11.18 build?
Alright guys! Bug fix released! Fixes signal bars and MMS! See OP for download link and details.
just flashed 1.11.18.1 last night. coming from 1.11.11.
noticed 3 bugs that im experiencing. yes i wiped properly and tried a battery pull..
1. long press on power button drops the toggles/notification screen and not the reboot menu. i cant get to restart/recovery menu.
2. my icons are randomly disappearing and reappearing.
3. im losing radio during deep sleep..on wake, the 3g icon isnt there. takes about 15 seconds to light up.

Thanks for the feedback! I've been looking into this all morning. It seems that if you're coming from a previous release, or someone else's MIUI release, these bugs occur. As a temporary fix, I have added a link to my 1.11.18 release in the OP. Until I get this issue fixed, you will need to flash my 1.11.18 and then flash my 1.11.18.1. I know its an extra step, but that will fix the bugs until I can figure out what's causing it.
Thank you sir for the note..
I know the builds you guys have to work with have been wonky lately, and y'all do the best you can to get these puppies running.
as an add on - something else is borked somewhere as well. and let me preface these additional comments with the statement that it very well could be just my phone, and me screwing something up with it somewhere.
i tried to recover from these using every method i know and i get nothing but bootloops at the MIUI main screen.
ive:
- tried a nandroid restore from the latest backup right before flashing this. it wont boot..get a bootloop.
- tried a nandroid restore from a backup from a week ago. phone will boot but cant get past the lockscreen..its unresponsive.
- tried flashing kernel again - didnt help, still bootlooping.
- wiped everything again, and tried 2 different MIUI builds (yours again, and the 1.11.11) and they still bootloop at the splash screen.
im going to odin back to ed05 and start over.. ive got just enough time to do this before football starts
hopefully you can figure out what bugs china has sent you for the ports.. love what you do with this!
rock on
-
EDIT: Found the culprit. Voltage control is borked somehow. i reinstalled everything from a clean ED05 ODIN. Soon as i set up my voltage control and got it where it needed to be, i selected "save as boot settings" .. i noticed that it said it saved settings to "ect/int/d..." but the last part didnt look right? it had something like d5 at the end of it.. voltage control exited on its own and phone went blank.. took me 4 tries to get it to turn on, and then i got my famous boot looping mess that i have had all day.
i three fingered into recovery, flashed GLITCH to clear the kernel.. booted right up like normal. rebooted into recovery again, used GLITCH to clear the voltage settings, and then reflashed "3 finger fix" kernel by JT. everything running normal for now.. however i do notice now that soon as i jumped into voltage control again - my settings were already set for me? but this time it didnt lock up and die.
there is something wrong with the latest greatest of Voltage control. i would suggest being careful when using it with the 1.11.xx builds..

Ok, new update package available. See OP for download link. You must be running 1.11.18 in order to update to 1.11.18.1. 1.11.18.1 is just an update package, not the full ROM. If you try flashing 1.11.18.1 without being on 1.11.18, it will fail. Let me know how it works!
1.11.25.1 is now available! See OP for download links.

Senseless 4.0.3 Newt

Just flashed this and its super fast and buttery smooth. Three bugs so far for me calendar force closes. Disabling calendar sync got rid of that. The market wont download and install any apps already tried wiping data on that but no go. Also no gmail app still working on that. So I just sideloaded TB and installed my user apps and all else is well in my universe im sure a market fix will be out in a day or two.
If you have root explorer gmail is in /data folder I believe. Just move it to /system/app and you're good to go!
Thanks had a hard time finding in so i just sideloaded the gmail.apk and its all good. Any idea how to install the android email application its not in the app drawer anywhere?
I'm liking this ROM a lot, favorite so far. Seems mostly stable for me. I haven't experimented much with Market. Things I've noticed... Browser seems a little laggy, but not too bad. No blue flashing is nice. This seems have the least Sense integration! (Only thing is during phone calls still has the Sense call screen with green android guy). But the ICS dialer is very nice. Liking it so far, recommend it in fact!
Thank you very much Newtoroot
Hmm I assume you would just need to get the .apk and add it to the /system/app directory. As long as the permissions are set correctly you should be good to go.
same issues! getting FC on calendar and can't download from market..
but otherwise i love it!
I couldn't take the bugs so i flashed back to scroslers Cleanrom ics. I hope to reload when the next update comes out.
Newt said he'd be releasing one tomorrow (well later today now technically) with fixes. Looking forward to it for sure.
Bluetooth Music Streaming
I've been using Scott's Senseless ROM for about two weeks now, and I'm actually pretty happy with it. It has a few bugs here and there, but certainly usable as a daily driver. My biggest issue is that it has issues with streaming music over Bluetooth. It will eventually connect sometimes if I continuously turn the bluetooth music streaming off and on, but it's a real pain. This seems to be the same issue in Scott's CleanROM ICS, and in Newtoroot's Ineffabilis-Deus ROM, so I assume it's an issue with the drivers in the leak. Can anyone confirm or deny the Bluetooth music streaming capability of this ROM?

asked the same question in the rom thread... i'm gonna assume that this is still an issue as it has been on all ICS roms. That's the only reason I don't have a 4.0.whateva running on my phone right now... bt streaming is a must have for me, don't know what i'd do without it...

Yea, this is just one of those hoping against all odds things. I'm pretty sure we won't get ICS + streaming bt until there's an official HTC ICS ROM. I just hope that's soon, and I can't imagine it wouldn't be soon, given the quality of the leaked ROMs. I'm checking online daily like I'm waiting on a check in the mail! LOL

I'm confused about one thing regarding this ROM. Newt says in the features list that this ROM contains and updated kernel, but it says at the end that he doesn't include a boot.img. I thought the boot.img WAS the kernel? No?

Can anyone shed light on this? I think me not understanding how this works is also causing me other problems. I tried to restore a nandroid backup from my original stock ROM, and it won't boot up. All of the ROMs I've flashed thus far have been from scrolser, which automatically reboot to fastboot (or is it HBoot?) and install the kernel. Does this same type of thing have to be done for nandroid restores? Do I need to perform the restore, then go back and flash the kernel separately?

Use the kernel on page 4 of the thread in the dev. forum...otherwise you may end up with some process.acore crashing hell.
Otherwise, it is an awesome ROM...my favorite senseless ICS one so far.
MMS in ICS
I have tried a couple different de-sensed ICS ROMs and they all have MMS issuses. Is there one out there that doesn't? I know beggers cant be choosers but I love Newts ROM I just need MMS.

Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't really answer my question. If there's a boot.img in the ROM, why do I need to flash another boot.img separately? From some other reading I've done, it looks like the kernel is just part of the boot.img, is that right? I've searched for info on this, but I can't find anything that explains all of this clearly.

evo lte viper4g 4.0.0 bluetooth volume
Is there a way I can fix the bluetooth incall volume to make it louder? I use my motorcycle helmet headset nearly everyday and I love this Rom too much to dump it.
Is there any way to get a privacy guard for this rom like CM has or do I need to go through each app and set permissions?
I have gone through all the settings, ie phone, venom, nova, and set my location using zip code. but I can not figure out how to get the weather on the lock screen. I did install it when I flashed the rom. When I do into the weather app that is installed with the rom my location comes up fine. Do I need to turn on location services or am I missing something?
I think that's it. Definitely like this rom, I've used CM for a while now but think I have my daily now.
htc evo 4g lte i lose wifi or mobile data on 4.4 and now 4.3...
all of the 4.4 rom i tried i would either lose mobile data or wifi, u cant turn them both on at the same time. only one will work at a time. then i found Viper4g 4.0.0 4.3 and put it on my phone and everything worked fine for a couple of days. then my phone just randomly reboots and now i back to the either having wifi or mobile data thing again. so i go into recovery and reload the first backup i did and it working again. i took a logcat and attached it and after it reload i took screen shot of my software/firmware info, i shoud have the lastesyt of everything thanks to capthrowback. but can anyone tell me what happened or how to prevent this??

So after a few months in aosp-land I'm back to viper. Battery life was diminishing quickly for me for some reason.
So back to one of the main reasons I started dabbling elsewhere to start with, game lag. I had tooled around with different performance settings before to no avail but I don't profess to know what I'm doing.
Can someone tell me what tuning would be most suitable for gaming, specifically one game (sto) that's got a lot of motion on the screen and a huge dlc?
Only asking here because I'm looking to use the in-built options if reasonable, I know this isn't directly related to the rom itself, but it is related to the use of its features.

my evo 4g lte broke so i rebuilt it from some spare evo 4g's. i put viper 4g 4.0(love viper4g) back on it and now wifi doesnt work. i followed the install guide of course.
i attached so screenshots, maybe someone can me tell whats wrong cause it doesnt right.
btw i have loaded super cid, again. but have never used it. i believe i can use rom for the htc one x, does anybody know if this is true? then i could use viper one x, right?
honestly, i have trouble understanding the the kernal concept with unix/linux although i work with telephone pbx's and i have been using unix for decades.
Does anybody have a good link to download this rom,the three links posted are not working,thanks in advance
Edit: I finally got the rom to download.

Stable roms?

Can everyone post a list of stable roms for I717? I don't like going through the trouble of backing up all my data and flashing a new rom only to have it crash multiple times per day and have something like bluetooth not work reliably at all. Maybe some people enjoy playing with that (a lot of the most popular roms at the top of the forum are like this), but I don't!
I'll start the list and say that Beanstalk 4.4 is extremely stable, only had it reset on me twice in one year, and bluetooth works 100%. Only issue is that you can't move apps to SD so you run out of space quick (thanks to kitkat). I'd love to find something above kitkat this stable...
And I'll add some that I have tried and failed:
Candy5: No matter what Gapps I tried (yes pico etc), none of them installed and even after going through every suggestion in the thread I could not get a simple google play installed. Stock browser crashes every 2 minutes.
Pac-rom: Promising but crashes 10+ times per day. Often does not power on unless you boot into recovery and select reboot. GPS is terrible, google maps often loses it's place and gives turn-by-turn directions 60 seconds too late. Stock browser crashes all the time as well.
CM: Bluetooth reliability is terrible. Quincyatt not updated since 2014.
Sounds like you should stick with beanstalk or return the device to stock. When you rooted your device, it opened up security issues so it'll never be as solid as you'd like. What hasn't been updated since 2014?

CM for I717.
I don't like going back to stock because IMO it's less secure (heartbleed is a pretty big security hole). If you leave root access disabled and don't download shady apps a custom rom isn't any more insecure.

Edit: Just seen you have tried my roms? You should check the dates on them because most are from 2015. If you need more help than that then post in the thread for the rom you need help with. Read read read. Your issue with gapps has been discussed over and over again! Nobody is here to spoonfeed anyone.

Yes, I tried every suggestion in the thread and it still didn't work. After trying pac-rom for a couple days (and having it crash 20+ times) I just tried wiping it and flashing candy again, and now Gapps with google play worked the first time with no troubleshooting. Shrug.
Seems rock-solid so far though. Can't post in that thread since I have too few posts, so one question, if I do the OTA download for the new 4.0, can I just flash it on top of my 3.9 version or do I need to wipe everything and start over? Also, under Settings, Apps, if I click an app and move to SD card, it will sit there and say "moving" forever. If I exit settings and come back sometimes the app will actually show moved to SD list though.
And the stock calendar app doesn't seem to let me log in, it says "Sign in to get the most out of your device". Then I enter the email I've always used and it says "This account already exists on your device." But there's no other way to actually select that account. What am I doing wrong?

Don't do the OTA yet since BB won't let me upload my roms. The ota notification is a fluke. You'll have to flash the rom fresh between trying to find the right gapps which will work on your device. Candy is the most stable of all my builds currently.

The ota is ready now if you wish to try that.

Still can't post in the main thread but:
-If you turn on "Directly show pattern view", nothing shows on the lock screen besides the dots (time, weather, owner info, notifications).
-I had the dreaded bluetooth bug happen the other day, do you get many reports of this? (bluetooth stops working while streaming music, and does not turn back on until a phone reset).
-Stock calendar cannot be logged into (edit: just installed the google calendar from the app store which worked fine)
Unfortunately these are all deal breakers for me but I really like the rom otherwise, I don't want to switch back
Any way to enable HDMI output? (I have the adapter which worked before).

Must be on stock based rom and that being said, not all of those work. I know Saurom, Blackstar Blackjelly and OnlyOne Goldie work.
Edit: on my device.

I heavily utilize the "Move to SD card" option because otherwise the default storage doesn't hold more than 10 or so apps, but I've had a problem with Candy5 twice now where my phone will crash, and upon reboot, all the apps that were moved to SD card are gone. Anyone else encounter this?
I wish I could post in the normal thread.
Installed the latest Candy5 20151031, did a complete wipe of everything per the instructions, and after installing 1 app (gmail), the phone reboot the first time gmail opened while placing the gmail widget down.
Here's a list of ROMs I've tested:
BlackSTAR XI - Best ROM for the i717. Super stable and fast.
CM Official - Good, but very buggy. SD card breaks, phone reboots often, HW overlays, etc.
Padawan - Not much new here, just a simple modded version of stock. Very stable but not too fast.
Candy5 - Very laggy, as LP is still in development for i717.
CM11 Unofficial - A bit laggy, HW overlays.
All in all I'm a huge fan of BlackSTAR XI, best ROM I've seen so far.

-Which CM official version (10.1, 10.2,etc)? HW overlays can be worked around by switching off in developer options.
