The APN is saved in the settings. And I did flash the zip-file. After that I adjust the file inside the init.d map with the script manager. But without wifi toggled on, the status bar doesn't show any signal on the signal bars, and therefore also nog 3g. Got any solution for that?
Thanks!

I've noticed that my market downloading capability just stops working randomly. only thing that resolves it is a factory reset. I've tried clearing market cache and data but that only worked once.
Any thoughts?

Hi
I have installed the ICS rom and seem to be in a pickle. Everything works besides the phone i.e I can make or receive calls. Wifi works etc. Any suggestions. Also how do I now go back to gingerbread as Odin no longer works due to no usb support.
Thanks in advance

Take it to the official thread, as it's a development related question.
My question: is this anywhere near stable enough to even bother flashing right now?

[Q] Help with problems with Marvel 7.0?

I flashed Marvel 7.0 coming from CM7 yesterday and I was pretty happy with battery life. But today I realized that some apps, like facebook for android and the camera don't work. They start up but immediately get a forced close.
Can someone help me please?

Try reflashing it again and this time clear Dalvik Cache... i used the ROM and everything works perfectly...just try Auto Installation(Recommeded) instead of Custom one..

I am not sure if that was the problem, but some times it happens, next time try backing up ur apps with titanium backup instead of reinstalling every single app...

When unlocking, the screen is black and it switches to pin. Most probably some permission problem.

Sharing is caring
Let us all be a part of your magic mate

OK, so
http://www2.zippyshare.com/v/35088986/file.html
Didn`t managed to solve the blackscreen. You can choose the Face Unlock option. It will detect your face.
Problems after installing this:
-Camera app will dissapear (solved by reinstalling the rom)
-Maybe some google apps will dissapear too (solved by reinstalling gapps, but most probably the face unlock will dissapear)
During script modification, had a problem, that when the wifi is off, when starting camera it says "Can`t connect to the camera", also Face Unlock wont start. When wifi is enabled, then the camera is working fine, but face unlock is force closeing.
Luckily i`ve saved this partially working version. Maybe somebody will manage to make it work completely

[MOD] Phone calls on CM10.1 / AOKP 4.2.2

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum.
Many people got phone calls on stock ICS, then changed to 4.2.2 and lost it
But while seeking the forum, I GOT IT AT LAST!!
Although, it has a bug, which is when u receive a call and slide the call button, as soon as u press it it says "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped working", but it might work perfectly on other ROMS
I tested it on Infamous ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220912
Here it is :
Format System (No data wipe required if ur reflashing same rom)
Install ROM, Gapps, and the file attached
Fix permissions (just incase)
Dont reboot untill u do all of that, as in dont reboot in the middle of the procedure.
There u have it
Please tell me if it worked
EDIT : works perfect on infamous 1.7.2, just extract the zip file, paste all the files in their place, and keep the phone.apk untouched (keep the original phone.apk Cruz it works)
P.S : i really appreciate Khomsn for making the CM10.1 build with phone calls, but that build is REALLY laggy.
Thank you everyone.
P.P.S : u have to flash i9103DXLP2 modem (has to be that number specifically) really important to do, link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40754968&postcount=15 (thanks John Kester )

I can make a call and stoping with push end when i'm tryng calling, on my tab sounded a ringer and working fine for receive call. everything is working fine to me.

Thanks for the effort, but this isnt working for me. I cant even get the phone apk to show anywhere. Im not even sure ifi t installs one. If there is another installation method that isnt mentioned here but that I need to do please refer me to that. Otherwise after flashign th one file above and fixing permissions I get no phone apk to even test this. Im on the infamous rom as well.

Umm... i just installed the phone.apk from Khomsn's thread as a normal apk and that seemed to fix my problem.
Otherwise. Just push the phone.apk in /system/app/ and fix permissions (i dont think fixing permissions is neccesary but i just do it incase)

Yea, Ive done that a few times and I cant get phone.apk to show in the apps list after install.

Consider installing gapps that contains a phone apk after which you flash the phone fix above. Your tab should make calls flawlessly but know that the speaker is set to off by default so you have to activate it when making a call.

Ok thanks for the reply I do need a link to the GAPPS with a phone apk though , unless of course the GAPPS for the tab 10.1 comes with it but why would it. If Im wrong please let me know.
EDIT: Ok so my bad, looks like I need a 3g tab and I have a wifi tab. Thanks for the help nevertheless.

Do search for gapp of 20121212, it contains a phone apk. Gapps for custom roms often contain the apk.

i think it's the META-INF that's the issue.
i'll try to put them in another zip and reply.
BTW: i've got a build of infamous aokp with phonecalls "without the need to do anything" but i think im gonna need permission to upload it.
But for the time-being, i think installing the phone.apk like a normal app will work "iv'e tried it out of curiosity and it actually installed )
but i still don't know why com.android.phone keeps FCing after opening mobile data in settings or when answering a call. Anybody got any tips.

[Q] Can not record video after flashing 4.4.2 Pacman

Dear Seniors,
i have flashed my samsung captivate with 4.4.2 from Pacman Rom nightly 23.03.14. everything working great! except one, i can not record video
no matter what apps i used, whenever i choose to record video it will force closed with note "blame the split screen".
i have tried to reflash, clean the cache, etc etc, but still experience the same error.
it's a great rom, so i hope i can find solution to this one tiny issue.
really appreciate your kind advise. cheers :fingers-crossed:

It sounds like a tradeoff, you lose video recording for split screen.
You'll have to use another ROM if you wanna use it.

We don't make suggestion to avoid flaming. What I can suggest though is to go through a few ones and see if they're for you.
