any hope of getting FM radio support on roms (I'm mainly using cyanogenmod, usually sportsstar's). I've tried the port of the apk for the fm radio (wouldn't run) and some spirit radio apk (loud static all channels). Thanks.
I'm using spirit and it works fine. You do need to have a headset plugged in though for an antenna

Are you using the feb 3rd beta version of spirit?
The stock FM radio is probably going to need to be rebuilt to make it work. Or there is just some strange file that is missing or not configured right.

Hi Dave! Thanks for the response
I thought there was an FM radio app in the CM Builds??
There are people using Spirit on CM10 (other devices) and I have got Spirit working on Sense 4 (even though the built in one doesn't work)
I have tried my darndest to get Spirit radio to work. All I get is white noise.
What am I missing or not configured? I did search the site, but wasn't able to
find the answer.
Thanks.

I couldn't get it to work either on the PacMan rom
I just flashed SpeedRom 9.0 Beta 1 and the FM Radio app works because SpeedROM is still a sense based ROM but looks like JellyBean.

I have the same issue with Sportsstar's CM10.1. Sprit FM just gives me static (though I can occasionally hear the slightest bit of an actual station). I think I read in his thread that radio firmware is missing from CM10.1. Is that something one can flash after the fact?

There is a difference Between the Radio firmware for the hardware (flashed thru hboot) and possibly radio drivers in the ROM.
You can flash the ICS Radio update, link in my Viper thread or ARHD thread, that will update you to the most recent radio "Firmware"
You do need to have an antenna (wired headset) and you have to manually tune the radio station.
I'll test it on CM10.1 later this weekend and I'll let you know what I can figure out!

I can't find the reference I was talking about, but here's a reference to missing drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010901
And if this is what you're talking about for a radio update - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42317972&highlight=radio+update#post42317972 - that matches my current baseband version.
FM radio works on ICS ROMs, like ARHD and SpeedRom, I know. I also know I need a headset attached - only way it ever worked. I've seen other threads about Spirit FM just producing static, so I don't know if it's that app and this device. Anyway, thanks for whatever you can figure out. My thought was that flashing anything ICS on JB wouldn't work, but I don't know.

Just want to ask again on this thread, has anyone ever gotten Spirit FM or another FM radio apk to work on a JB ROM (non-sense-based)? Chevy mentioned the Spirit FM 3rd beta, but not sure whether he was talking about having it work on a JB ROM or on Viper. ICS ROMs mostly have the stock radio app working, so not an issue there.
Thanks.
There is code in the CM base sources allowing for radio apps like spirit FM, now whether the devs working on it here have enabled it or gone through the task of debugging to ensure it works is a different story. Tytung has it working well in his CM ROMs for the HD2. I purchased it (spirit) to use on his ROMs so I do know it can work with CM if the developer chooses to. Frankly, for me this capability isn't as important as resolving the other outstanding issues which are keeping JellyBean from being fully functional and truly stable on our devices.

Yeah, I'm really just trying to find out if anyone has gotten something working on the Amaze, not any other device. For me, the showstoppers on CM10.1 were uncontrolled in-call volume (evidently working in Evervolv), audio drop-outs when listening to music, and lack of FM radio. Otherwise, it seemed really solid. I'm kinda tired of laggy ICS ROMS, but everything works.

I know what you're talking about. I think many here, myself included, wish that development was further along. Frankly, I find it sad and ironic that my old HD2, which was a Windows phone, has had fully functional usable stable Jellybean ROMs for a well over a year and it never had any sources released to develop from.
The sad truth is that the Amaze is a great device that wasn't marketed well, so few units were sold. Too few at least for it to have developed a devoted loyal following. If you follow the threads you see that there was never a large volume of development for it and that most of the early adopters have long since moved on to other devices. I'm just glad that we're now experiencing a second wave with new folks stepping up and trying.
I'm optimistic that the issues currently afflicting these builds can be resolved and that our Amazes will get a new lease on life. We just need to have a bit more patience, they're getting closer to nailing it. Once one gets it right the others will learn and use in their development. Then we'll have all kinds of jellybean and KitKat flavors to choose from.

Hope your optimism proves right. It's amazing (no pun intended) that anyone spends there time doing this kind of dev work at all. Pretty sure I'll never buy another HTC device, too.

I wouldn't be so down on HTC. They may not have been the most supportive manufacturer when it comes to outside development, but they've also produced some of the most groundbreaking innovative products. They're in financial trouble now, as their market share has eroded, and haven't had a breakout device in some time. They realize this and have begun making incremental improvements within the development community in an attempt to improve it's perception. The thing is who are you going to jump ship to? Samsung is already undermining android by developing Its own market place for apps that can only run on their devices and has announced It's developing its own proprietary OS. Since they're the biggest player in this device market, they could easily splinter Android and force other manufacturers to do the same to compete.
The point is, if there's one thing I've learned from my 50 years on this planet is to never say never about anything.

From there forward, it crashes as soon as you tap the video icon for them.

I feel like it worked in an older build, and now I'm just confused. Anyone else? Just me? Aaalrighty then.
Love this ROM. I haven't had a Non-Sense Daily driver in years. And I do mean years.
I also tried on Infected (2.1) and had the same results. Unable to use Google Talk. Wiped data. Anyone get it to work?

It worked in CM9 and CM10, but my gut is that it hasn't worked right for us in CM10.1 (4.2.x). The camera support isn't 100% in the 4.2.x ROMs.

Through some of the versions in late January, it did seem to work (there were a few fixes that went around, and 'Skype and Gtalk' wound up working).
Since either 2/6 or 2/19 (and later) or so, they haven't.
This is the first time a non-Sense ROM has been my daily driver (ever, except when I had a Fascinate, but that was my work phone) since I got my first smartphone (Eris).
I'm glad they're trying to iron everything out and make it all work though. It makes me feel like hope is in the air!

Interesting.
As of the 2/24 unofficial cm 10.1 build, it just consistently crashed. Maybe I should try the 2/28.
At this point, it appears to work on Infected 2.1, but with no audio whatsoever (neither sending nor playing any) while using g+ hangout and/or gtalk. Neo is investigating.
I'll try cm10.1 again with a fresh flash tomorrow at work if it's not busy.
Hello, I've been looking at some of the aosp roms that are available, but it seems like a handful of them do not have working bluetooth audio which is unfortunate as I use it all the time in my car. Having said that, would anyone know of any aosp roms that do support it, or better yet is there any known workarounds for this? Thanks!

Hey guys, I've been fresh on a stock and unrooted build over the past several months (no headaches anymore!) and recently, an acquaintance of mine was willing to give me his Galaxy S4 which to my delight was still on MDK. I've been out of the scene and flashing in general for the past five months, and I know that there's this Lollipop business right now, but what is the best ROM for the MDK S4 at this point?
I've heard that Cyanogenmod 12.1 and lollipop builds in general are having a host of problems with bluetooth, the GPS (which I actually very much need), and battery drain. What is an acceptable ROM in your guys' honest opinion that can be used as a very solid daily driver (hopefully on Lollipop, willing to use KK though) that has GPS and bluetooth?
Thanks in advance!
Another CM12.1 tidbit. If your new to you MDK S4 is the Verizon variant, the compass is borked, too. If it's any other carrier users say it works.

This, however navigation still works for directions I know what direction I am looking at and moving in most of the time.
Hyperdrive is also a fan favorite but is currently on KK. I was using Dan's GPE lollipop ROM but switched back because I couldn't get Netflix to run over mobile data. If that doesn't bother you, I recommend that to you.

That is because orientation is determined by GPS when moving, not by the compass.
It is now a moot point as invisiblek fixed the compass in CM 11, 12.0, & 12.1 two days ago.
So nice to see the compass and all third party apps that rely on it work properly again.

Which lollipop roms are fully working with no major connectivity issues now? Was thinking of trying cyanogen 12.1, but noticed its not officially released. Is this stable enough to use everyday? If not, are there other 5.x roms I should consider?
I'm wondering if anyone has found a solution for this compass calibration problem. If I orient my phone basically north/south the compass seems to be relative accurate. Otherwise it quickly gets off 180 degrees. I've seen this on KK & LP, multiple ROMS and multiple kernels. I'm suspecting it's a hardware issue but would love to hear from others.
What ROM are you using? This issue persisted in many ROMs for some time, especially CM and CM based ROMS, but has been fixed for 5-6 weeks now.

Stock TW ROMs. I noticed it on KitKat & it persists with Lollipop. It's strange that when my phone is oriented roughly N/S all is well but it goes wonky otherwise.

Don't know about KK and otger ROMs, especially older ones but the latest LP CyanogenMod ROMs have been flawless for me.
Solved...
...for me at least.
A big thanks to @slopenut1 for pointing out the compass problem it due to the kernel. I flashed surge's stock kernel and the compass seems just fine. It seems there is a subtle hardware difference which trip up the kernels coming from other devices. The compass now may not be quite as good as the real thing but no more flipping around.
Try a different kernel. Fixed on 4.4.4 GPE with the ktoonsez kernel. Now on GPE 5.0.2 it's back.
