SGH-i957 ATT LTE - Incredibly slow...

Hey guys I can't find any other threads with people experiencing the same thing that I am, so I'm posting a new thread.
I have a new SGH-i957. I rooted it and installed twrp 2.1.4. I created a backup of my stock rom. Then, I wiped and flashed CM10 by nvrate. Everything was going fine and everything worked awesome.Then, I decided to try out Dan's [ROM] [3. 2][4.0.4] DannoRom_2.0.6 Oct 16. I made a backup in TWRP, then Flashed. Once it loaded it was mind blowingly slow and everything froze up. So, i rebooted into recovery, did a full wipe, fix permissions, etc, then restored my CM10 backup. Now, it's doing the same thing. everything is incredibly slow and unusable. I tried the same process to revert back to stock, and i get the same thing. I've tried re-flashing different kernels, from stock rooted, DaGOCkernel, and DaG's 1944mhz oc. All have the same result.
I've tried restoring to danno's stock telus 4.0.4, and it's the same as well. It seems like no matter what I do, it doesn't help. I can't use my tablet at all, and I'm wondering if there is anything i can do to fix this. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Did you flash another radio other than what is included with the 4.0.4 rom?
I found that to be the source of my issues with extreme lag making my tablet unusable.
I did a full wipe, caches, flashed Dans ics 4.0.4 rom with the stock radio... Then wiped again and flashed nvrates build... Tablet works great.

That must be it! I flashed the i717 (note) radio. Sigh.
Is the stock radio included in Dans ics 4.0.4 rom od do i need to grab it separate? If its not included, do you know where i can download it?

That's your problem. The radio is included in the ROM. Wipe, flash...that will fix it. Then you can wipe and flash nvrates ROM and it will keep that radio.
Hope that helps

Thank you so much! Hopefully this takes care of the problem!
Admins/mods, sorry for posting this in rhe wrong forum. If you could move it to the correct area I would appreciate it!

ALL SET!
ok so I grabbed a modded radio from HERE and flashed it after flashing the latest AOKP release from Dan, and everything is now golden!
Thank you again for cluing me in to the radio fix. I thought I had a shiny new brick.
Mods, feel free to close.

Flashing the Rogers radio solved my problem.

Official CM10

I want to know that the official cm10 has any bugs??
On cm website they call it stable.

The best way to know would be to read their thread (last few pages and OP) as well as trying it for yourself.

Not entirely sure if it's related to CM, but only on the latest stable (10.0) I've had issues with my WiFi not wanting to stay connected, even on a strong connection.
Everything else works great!

I just installed it yesterday. Problem with mine was that the ASOP keyboard not working. Luckily I just dled teh swiftkey.apk a day earlier. Play store wasn't working for me either and the browser just open and close. That's all i tried. I'm going back to CM9 til I know whats wrong and back up some data.
I installed the stable cm10 and the gapps. Hope others dont run in to the same problem as me

Did you restore your apps or app data? That would most likely cause this problem. Or flashing the wrong gapps.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

No, once I got cm10 installed. I was trying to change some of the settings and found "keyboard(ASOP) stopped working" or some error message along the line of that when I try to enter wireless password. After installing swiftkey, I tried opening play store and it just have "server error"
So I haven't gotten to getting titanium backup yet to restore apps
I just took the latest gapps (the first link on the list), so I'm not sure if that's the right one. I'll try again during the weekend. I'll let you guys know if it goes well.

I'm on CM 10 latest stable build, 4.1.2. Came from GB kk4 plus corn 7 kernel. with latest gapps. I use touchpal keyboard.
I have TiBU pro, but rather than batch install apps, I went though google play to install apps, then selectively restored data on apps with TiBU as needed. While this took some time with this approach (96 apps), CM10 is flawless, virtually no probs at all. it actually seems more stable than before.
at times a little laggy but not a showstopper.

(edit: added keyboard info)

UPDATE: Just flashed to CM10 stable. I found out that the GAPPS I used last time was actually for CM10.1.0 while the CM10 that is out is only CM10.0.0
Be sure to get the right version of GAPPS. The latest one they have is for CM10.1.0

Looks like I'm the unlucky one den. I'm about to try again. I'm using cm's 3.0.8-g2311908 kernel.
Wish me luck.

you are correct, you want the 10.0.0 version from goo, which points to gapps 4.2, backward compatible to 4.1.

thats what I used. I guess the 4.2 set the 'latest' bit in my brain.

[Q] Upgrading Pandoriam (and custom roms in general)

This is a n00b question...
Pandoriam is the first custom rom I've installed. I've recently got a Telstra 4G SGS3 after being an iPhone jailbreak user for years. Love Android, love the Samsung and very pleased with how relatively easy it was to root, back everything up with Titanium Backup Pro and install a custom rom.
However, there are a number of quirks I encountered when restoring my apps + data, and there are a bunch of things I had to do after each reinstall of the rom (I needed to change a few options so I ended up wiping and reinstalling a few times).
So I'm wondering whether when the next Pandoriam version comes out I'll have to do a full wipe of data? Hoping not
And on that point, how frequently do Pandoriam updates come out?
PS Posting partially because I don't yet have the privileges to post in the dev forums. I was going to reply in the latest Pandoriam thread about photo sphere on Telstra i9305 (with Perseus kernel and Pandoriam v5) - it works for me (although it's patched together a bit weird, but I think that's the limitations of photo sphere).

Hahah that was my post about sphere mode, what you just told me makes it even harder for the dev now though
It is NOT required for you to wipe all your data every reflash but is RECOMMENDED
You can easily backup data by doing a nandroid backup (an option in CWM ClockWork Recovery aka recovery mode once you've flashed it on) and you can select what applications and what data you want to restore from (via AppExtractor so make sure to install that during the setup of Pandoriam); that making the whole reflash a 10 minute or so job
Having such a great and interactive developer leaves him to update the ROM regularly but that still doesn't mean you have to get every version as I know I just waiting on 4.0 for v5

Cool, thanks. I asked because I got the impression that mainly you had to wipe when changing roms, but when upgrading you didn't need to.
Would prefer to play it safe though!
I've done a nandroid backup too but I thought that was more so you could recover back to your old configuration in toto. Good to know you can get back specific apps from that too - although to be honest, Titanium Backup's flashable update zip is pretty handy!

Also don't forget to backup your IMEI as a precaution

So regarding btemtd's latest post... if he does release a 5.1 version, which sounds like it would be a typical incremental release, would it probably be safe not to do a wipe, but just install on top? :cyclops:
This would be nice, obviously. To be honest, the only issue I'm coming across right now with the latest Pandoriam is Google+ not working, and I don't really use it.
For background: with quite a few other apps I had to uninstall and reinstall from the Play store before they would work.
With Google Talk, it wasn't logging my accounts in, and I found the solution somewhere else on the xda forums. Deleted the Google accounts, then went to Google Services Framework in all apps and hit "Clear data". Then recreated the accounts, and everything was hunky dory. It could work without deleting the accounts but I think not.
Perhaps I could've stopped all these problems if I'd properly cleared all the caches before flashing the rom - I did a wipe data/factory reset but I now realise there are other caches to clear in CWM!
Edit: Ah, just discovered a problem. The SMS threading issue is there with ChompSMS as well. I don't use the stock messages program, so I hadn't tested. This is definitely an issue for me. Damn.

OK, update: I am considering swapping to Ripper Rom just to see how it is, but now that I'm using Pandoriam I'm on a 4.1.2 build, so does that mean I need to flash the XXELKC versions because otherwise I'd be downgrading?
Maybe I should just be patient regarding the message threading issue instead, and wait for a Pandoriam update

If your apps do that then use fix permissions in clockwork recovery
It would completely rely on the changelog of the ROM, if you were to just flash over though, there were just small changes and you chose the same themes then it wouldn't leave so much crap on your phone but it's still recommended to do a wipe to avoid random issues that would require a wipe down the road

Thanks heaps for your replies, Magik_Breezy.
I've now discovered that I must have chosen (without any real reason) the AOSP messenger option in Aroma when installing Pandoriam.
So I'm going to re-flash with stock messenger. I'll try this without wiping (if that's not an idiotic idea) and see what happens! :good:

I didn't even wipe from stock initially but some apps can duplicate etc
Make sure to give back to the xda community in anyway you can

Trying I do hope other n00berly-n00bs find this conversation if they're looking for similar advice!
I just installed the same Pandoriam on top of the current installation, chose stock messaging and a few other minor alterations. No problems have occurred!
Going back to stock messages means that new messages are threading nicely. :good: However, the old ones which came in have remained on their lonesome. Minor point.

You should ONLY wipe if problems occur after flashing, otherwise you are just wasting your time.
Even if you encounter a "soft brick" or a bootloop, the recovery would still be accessible and you could factory reset to fix it anyways.. This stuff nowadays is relatively safe.

Thanks Skander1998, that's great to hear! I was taking all those warnings seriously, and I guess it's worth stating to cover those eventualities.
Anyway, having just re-flashed with no problems, I'll continue like that, and take your advice that if I get bootloops or problems I can always boot back into recovery.
Very happy with the latest state of my Pandoriam rom'd SGS3.

A heap of crap will accumulate on your device and apps will double
It's also always best to follow what the dev says as he is the one who truly knows everything that goes on behind the scenes
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

Fair enough! I would imagine for small updates of the same rom it's fine not to wipe, but changing roms it'd be crazy.
I'll keep an eye out for apps doubling.

CWM stopped working [ROM][GT-N7000][4.3] CyanogenMod 10.2 experimental builds

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the great rom. I really appreciate it.
After flahing my second version (August 1)including full wipe I somehow managed to destroy cwm. I can still boot the OS as well as download mode but instead of CWM there is just a black screen. I also tried to flash a New CWM with rommanager and twrp with goomanager. It didn'change anything.
What can I do to get a working recovery if possible without full wipe again (too much work)? This way I'm unable to flash anything.

No need to open a thread for a already known problem that is discussed in the 10.2 thread in General.
If you install a very early experimental build you could at least read in the related thread. Or consider installing a Stock Rom.
And as other members you have to install a new Rom with PC Odin to eliminate the problem. I made this already two times - and now use an older 10.2-kernel as workaround.
But please use the thread in General for further postings related to CM10.2, ok?

I'm sorry I was coming from CM 10, CM 10.1 and for a year or so I was no longer forced to care about such problems for quite a while. So I couldn't find the thread you linked. Xplowild closed his thread and I was a bit lost with so many threads.
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Looking for a howto

I own a Samsung Ace GT-S5830, it is currently running Cyanogenmod 7. CyanogenMod-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-cooper I did this a few months ago and I would like to flash it back to Android. As this was done a while back I have lost all of my bookmarks. Could someone please point me to some instructions to do this.

Wrong section mate! There is a great Q&A Thread!
...
1. You should read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768181
2. Backup your current rom using CWM (do it via recovery)
3. Use Titanium Backup to save your bookmarks, or the data files from which ever app (even you can save de apk)... if you use Titanium Backup then when you restore the data you might face troubles in different roms (4.2.2 / 4.3).
4. To backup all your contacts use contacts app to export all of them to your sd
Now you are ready to flash a fresh stock or another custom rom

Do you feel the wi-fi slow compared with others cyanogenmod roms or the stock rom?
I used the nightlys of january, february and march (all) and my phone have slow wi-fi

CM7 ROMs are not totally bug-free. There have been GPS issues with several ROMs in the past. Also I till the date have never been able to use the phone on CM7 as a modem for computer as the modem (phone) doesn't respond. Also minute but Wi-Fi issues that prevailed previously seem to be sorted out eventually but expect no optimization.
If you want speed & stability with all the working features, use the stock based ROMs.
