Dang, custom Android ROMs are frustrating!
FINALLY got one loaded on my Samsung Exhibit II that DOES voice dial via BT. However, there are 2 problems with the phone so far.. 1.) can't mount external sdcard. Note: Card is good and formatted fine. I can attach phone to laptop via usb and read/transfer files to it successfully. 2.) Every time I add a new app to the phone it puts an icon for the app on my home screen (do not want that).
Any ideas on how I can fix these problems? Thanks.
Current setup on the phone:
Model: Samsung SGH-T679
Android ver: 4.1.2
ParanoidAndroid 2.99
Kernel:2.6.35.14 cyanogenmod
CM ver: 10-20121121-UNOFFICIAL
Build: pa_ancora_tmo_userdebug4.1.2

For number 2, you need to go in to the play store settings and turn that setting off.
If you already did that and you are still getting icons on your home screen then you are probably using nova launcher. There is also a setting in nova launcher that you need to turn off.
Dont find settings

I don't find any such setting in Play Store. Don't find any related setting in Go Launcher that would do this either. Also, this just started recently and I have never made any changes to my Play Store account.

Hmm, cant help you with the first problem. I'm having the same issue, but on another rom. I would also like to figure this out.
For your second problem. Try going into Play Store settings and unchecking "Auto-add widgets".
Hope this helps.
first of all not to sound rude to you r the dev but it seems youre running paranoid android 2.99 which is an outdated rom, unfinished and the rom has no future support and reporting for it is kinda usual
Better ROM that can BT voice dial

Can you please recommend a better ROM that CAN voice dial via BT. Every time I use a custom ROM that is android 4.0 or higher, it cant voice dial. I have only had success with GB ROMS at 2.3.5 - 2.3.7
Thanks for any help you can lend.

Ok i have done some searching on this forum looking for my answer but not much luck. I have the captivate. i realy like the phone and its display. i had it rooted with atts stock rom for a while. but since att was draging there feet with the 2.2 update i have flashed a few new roms. all of wich when im in the car listening to tunes if i got a call the music would stop and i could hear the call through car speakers stoped working. I have tried diff roms and no luck to fix. so is this something to do with the 2.2 update. I was reading another post and if i read right it looks as if it is. I am currently running pheonix 4.5 wich has been my fav rom so far. So to get my calls to go through car speakers again what do i need to do? I know there is apps and so forth to make the phone go to speaker, but 9 times out of 10 i cant hear speaker phone in car.
Also i have the exchange pin. whats a good way to nuke that?
There are kernels or view that allow balks through head set. This should fix your problem. What rom are you on, what kernel
im using pheonix 4.5 kernal 2.6.32.9
Phoenix does not show actual kernel but you are on an old version of hard hardcores kernel
If you want a fix follow these steps
Dl this
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B-3n...WIxYTQtMTdhYzgzMjdjODg4&export=download&hl=en
put on internal sd
Dl sgs kernel flasher from market
Open app
Choose kernel
Tap .....
Find the kernel you downloaded
Select
Flash kernel
Phone will reboot
The kernel info will read the same. Try to make a call now, should work

RC4.1 wiped my efs so I tried restoring it through a back-up I made. Tried overwriting the new one with backup but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Also, I want to rearrange my homescreens. E.g. I want the first page to be my main homescreen. How do I go about that?
Cheers.
What ROM was before RC4.1?
To restore a 2.3.x, your have to install a clean base first...
I'm trying to download to test it.
IMEI has been restored!
New problem, Email app doesn't seem to sync my emails from my hotmail.
And still wanting to rearrange my homescreens if possible.
Here's hoping to the re-uploaded RC4.1...

I'm having problems with wifi switching betwen states ON/OFF. Trying multiple reflashes to fix it. Did you had any problems with wifi?
I don't think you can change default home screen on stoch ICS launcher! You have to use some other launcher.

No problems with the WIFI. All working well now.
And yeah, I might have to switch to Trebuchet launcher to be able to select my default homescreen.

i couldnt do that because i didnt get a backup before so i flash gingerbread with odin and now imei is ok
So back it up now just in case! Some of these roms appear to get rid of the IMEI data and whilst it appears if you just flash GB it comes back, that might not be the case always..
WRT wifi issues; I've flashed it countless times now find that the Wifi turns on and off really quickly... Sometimes I have flashed it and thought it was working only to find that if you turn WIFI off and then on again it does not see any wifi networks. Then when I reboot, the same on-off problem returns.
So I would guess that RC4.1 is still too unstable in the WIFI area. It could be my phone of course, but how much more continuous flashing I can do I don't know...
Hi i have installed RC4.1 every thing is working perfectly but the android market doesn't open i click the icon it opens and closes again any solution ???
Hello everybody!
I have some questions about the two ROMs named in the title.
Because I am a new member I am not allowed to post in the development threads of these ROMs and because I can't find anything to solve my problems I decided to start a new thread.
These are my issues:
Edit:
Mh, I have a new problem additional to the three below:
I set a mp3-file as ringtone. But the phone seems to "forget" this from time to time and when somebody calls me there is no ringtone at all. Same thing happens with a ringtone set for a specific contact.
Any ideas what could cause that?
SOLVED: FC/Reboot on BlazR RC-8.2-ICS
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28049137&postcount=826
I've installed BlazR RC-8.2-ICS on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus and everything worked fine. I wiped the Dalvik cache and formatted /system, /cache and /data (as I always do before installing a new ROM. Source:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578821 First Post: "6. How to format").
Then I installed the zip from sdcard, booted my phone and wanted to download Titanium Backup from the Google Play Store.
After downloading the app, it said "Installing..." and after a while the screen turned black, it played the boot sound and then wifi and mobile network were down and it scanned the SD-card for mediafiles. This happens everytime when I want to install an app from the Google Play Store.
I rebooted the phone several times and tried other apps, but nothing works.
Are there any solutions for this problem?
SOLVED: Download-Issue with Simplistic Light V3B2
Download unavailable at the moment
I've tried to download this ROM like 10 times, but every time the file is just 163.339 KB and WinRAR says "Unexpected end of archive". All other downloads are fine. Is the uploaded file broken or is it something else?
SOLVED: Strange behavior in Simplistic Plus Final 2.0
I reflashed the ROM. Atm, it seems to work. But I still can not set a mp3-file as ringtone. After 12-24h the phone forget this setting and then there is no ringtone at all.
At the moment (actually for months) I use the Simplistic Plus ROM but suddenly something seems to be broken.
From time to time there is no lockscreen after turning the screen on. The phone seems to be awake all the time and generates a massive battery drain. Also the Reboot-Shutdown-menu (hold the On/Off-button) does not come up. Instead the screen turns off and nothing happens.
I didn't change anything in the settings, I removed all new apps but it still happens.
Have anyone the same experience or even a solution for this problem?
Additional informations:
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GT-I9001)
ROM: Simplistic Plus Final 2.0 (Link)
Recovery: FeaMod Recovery v.1.4
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9001XXKPL
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-SkyHigh [email protected] V1.4
Build number: SIMPLISTICPLUS.F2
Sorry about my bad english and for bothering you guys with my problems.
Thanks in advance for your help!

So this is my first time rooting/flashing so I'm not a pro at what I'm doing but I wanted to give it a try
Anyway, so I rooted my S3 Mini with Unified Android Toolkit and backed up apps etc. Then installed CyanogenMod on my phone. Everything is okay except for 2 issues.
1) I haven't got any SIM Contacts, were these deleted when I wiped the phone and now I can't do anything about it?
2) I see 'No Service' on my phone when I bring the toolbar down from the top of the screen. See this is weird because I have service and am using the internet, but I don't actually have a registered network. I went to network providers, scanned and tapped my network, but even then, there was no change. I am running a UK S3 Mini on baseband ...XXAMJ2 and Installed Jellybean 4.1.2 (CyanogenMod 10) 20130727 from Maclaw'NovaFusion
When I rooted with the Toolkit, I chose the option [Up to ALL7] if that makes any difference?
Is there any way I can see which network I'm running because I'm confused and was gonna just flash the stock rom and unroot...
Thank you
P.S Also just checked in About Phone and my Network/Service Status comes up there, and my mobile data works, but it still says No Service when I bring the top toolbar down?!

For the SIM contacts: Try to pop in you SIM to an old phone and check if the contacts are still there, if yes good, if no... my condolences.
I strongly recommend to switch to CM11, it's working just fine, with no major bugs or problems. Well, i'm using it and i'm very picky when it comes to bugs and other issues.
The point is, you have to re-flash you phone anyway and along the way, you can update to a better android version.

With switching to CM11... I'm currently on 10 because my S3 was running 4.1.2 originally, if I were to flash the 4.4.2 rom, would it work and be compatible? Sorry if it seems like a basic question, I'm not really that knowledgeable about this
EDIT: Just did this, worked wonders! Thank you!

Well, it should be working. I had the same problem when I bought this phone.
The main problem was, that every ROM version's from 4.1 to 4.4.4 version's wasn't compatible with vibration module. What was I doing to re-wake it?
Firstly, try some of these tricks:
1. Go straight to your service menu (in the dialer dial this code: *#*#7378423#*#*)
2. After that, go to the services tab and click on "Vibrate"
3. And lastly, push and hold any volume rockers button to wake-up your vibration module.
It worked whether I used this tricks.
As far as I can see, this problem doesn't appear on the lollipop (AOSP 5.0) version.
I hope my message will help you somehow
Thanks But It's Not Working
when i got my first Z the vibration died in a day or so, could be a hardware related problem.(i had no problems replacing it, just took a while for me to explain that it's hardware related)
try hard reset, deleting all data etc, if it doesnt work, i hope you got your warranty

Next time please quote message, that can I see your answer.
As TorN-d- said before, you only 1 last chance - to reinstall your operating system. That can be done by using Sony PC Companion, which you can download straight from here: HERE
If it doesn't work, it may be that your phone has damaged vibration module which needs to be replaced
