Hi Everyone, first of all, i'm sorry if there may be duplicates in my post, i was trying to find answers, but may have given up early.
I'm a fresh owner of mi5, and as one, first love, than hate, and cry.
My phone had the latest China Dev, with which i had the following problems:
- SMS didn't go landscape
- fingerpint worked only, if i stored one finger only, as soon as i added multiple, it stopped working
- couldn't really separate multiple cloud accounts, my contact book just became a mess.
I tried CM13 which i loved at first but than, the GPS just didn't work very well, you could say it didn't work at all (very weak signal)
Also realized, that android pay (which i would like to try, but it's not mandatory) doesn't accept that ROM.
With all of the above, is there any ROM which you would recommend me? Should i try Global 7.5x? In other forums, people seem to love it, or go to stable global 8?
Any other recommendations?
any answer would be mostly appreciated!
thanks guys

I ran into this article yesterday, How to Flash CyanogenMod 7 ROM Samsung Captivate AT&T, and felt it was about time to learn about this. Plenty of you have already ROOTED your phones, and know from experience, what to do. But, I don't. Right now, I'm stuck with the options of accepting things don't work right, because of AT'T's unwillingness, or inabilility, to correct the issues I have, or reinsiall new, and lose all I've put on, or send back to Samsung for repair, and have them lose all I have on it, or try Rooting and adding a ROM, that may solve my issues. But to do that, I need a little help in understanding it.
First, if I try and run a program, like CyanogenMod 7, and it doesn't work correctly, snd screws up my phone, is there a way I can reinstall Android, and start over, or is that the proverbial kiss of death for my Captivate, and I'm stuck with it like that?
Second, is this the right ROM to try? AT&T can't fix my BLOCKS, of UNKNOWN APPS. The Settings change is easy, you click on activating Unknown, in Application settings..., unless you have no UNKNOWN, to choose. Also, in MMS settings, AT&T shows in a tutorial, that you have the option, of activating Delivery Report and Read Report. It shows this as plain as day, on that tutorial for the Captivate, yet mine, has NEITHER OF THOSE OPTIONS. Also, to TURN ON EDGE, the setting is missing, so I can't activate EDGE, which I guess is no big thing, since the towers AT&T has for us to connect with, THAT ARE 2G, are in such poor condition, no one can connect to them. Thank you, WIFI, for helping me get, ONLINE. Will this, or other ROM's, solve this for me?
If there are any suggestions of how to do this, and what to use, I'd appreciate hearing it from you. Again, I thank any effort, to help me.
1.cm 7 would not be the best rom to flash for your first time.
2. All roms are android, you are running at&t/samsung version of an android rom...
3. Yes you can get back to your stock rom if you don't like/something goes wrong (other than a bad bootloader flash)
4.all custom roms have all the blocking done by at&t removed so switching to 2g(edge) is possible and also faster 3g speeds known as hspa. And unknown sources is in the settings so you can install apps from outside the market.
5.the threads at the top of every section with a little thumb tacks are called stickies, give those a read through.
Like he said above. If you want the pretty much stock experience that your used to but want it fixed then I would suggest starting off with Cognition 4.4 or whatever it is now.

From newbie to a newbie, I took the advice of others and read threads for atleast a month before I flashed my first rom. My choice was Andromeda3, It has a written tutorial and a video on how to from start to finish. From what tools or apps you will need and how to use them , I watched that atleast 6 times and also while I was flashing the kernel and the rom. It may have been overkill but my flash was perfect and I'm real happy with my phone now. You may not go with the same rom I did but do your self a favor and do what I did to prepare for your first flash.
Hey guys,
I have a problem with viber...it always crashes everytime I try to access the application, can somebody tell me how to fix this?
Thanks
and also....is it working on ARCDroid?
Hi,
This is a member of Viber's Development Team.
What device do you have?
Do you have stock or custom ROM?
Does ARCDroid is your device? (couldn't find it for some reason. :S)
Viber Team
ARCDroid is a Custom Android ROM for a Windows Mobile 6 phone, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. There's really no reason why Viber MUST work on this situation.
I just wish there was at least ONE proper viber/liveprofile/whatsapp alternative for Windows Mobile 6
Ahh... I see now.
Unfortunately, Viber does not officially support your device nor the OS (or the custom ROM), so it will be very hard for me to assist you on this.
You might want to contact the ROM developers
hmm...I see..thanks for the information
I am having the same issue, viber used to run on my Custom xdandroid (FROYO) ROM.
Now it's not working (I guess i need to go back to the older Viber version which used to work).
As it was working in the first place, why should it stop working with an updated Viber version running on the same custom ROM?
Because with each new version, we add new features and improve/alter existing ones. It could be that a new feature is now colliding with something that the ROM has tweaked, while before it was changed, everything was fine.
It still doesn't rule out the possibility that it's the ROM colliding with Viber.

Hi,
We have received reports from many Chinese users that Viber stopped working suddenly all across the country. We suspect that it's blocked now.
Can you confirm?
Yes, I confirm. I live in Beijing using China Unicom and Viber has been inaccessible for the 4 last days or something.
The strange thing is that after I use a VPN to connect I can then deactivate it and I stay connected to Viber...
I've been living in China for 10 years now, and trust me, I got to love that country because they are such a pain with the internet.
This is sad news - we're going to lose a huge portion of our Chinese users
Have you tried contacting the authorities, or your cellular provider? What do they say about this sudden block?
@zorlak -
Is the block still intact? We have received a few reports from users for whom Viber suddenly works again on WiFi networks!
hey folks,
I have been following all the Milestone development threads since the very beginning, and have gone through each inkarnation of kabaldans incredible work since CM6. Recently, I updated to CM10 (first without, now with 2nd boot) and am absolutely amazed by how far our good old milestone has come. While playing around with it quite a bit, I have come across some problems (I would love to report them in the appropriate development thread, but the 10-post-count won't let me unfortunately.)
First, I really loved the keyboard multipress-system since I live in Germany and have to enter Umlauts very frequently (ä, ö, ü, etc.). The multipress-system sped that up greatly. Now, although the corresponding settings are there in the Milestone-specific part of the Settings-app, multipressing actually doesn't work for me in CM10. Is that problem specific to me, or is multipress not yet fully integrated in CM10?
The second thing I noticed (probably since 2nd boot, but I am not entirely sure) is, that in the Settings under About Phone > Status neither IME nor Serial number are displayed (instead, it says "unknown"). This also prevents me from launching Whats App - it quits saying "Your phone could not be identified ....".
Does anyone else experience those issues - and/or could perhaps somebody please post this into the CM10 development thread, so kabaldan notices?
thanks, mvol

I have issue like this, and I can see IMEI and IMEI SV, but the Serial Number is "unknown".
after doing a full wipe, IMEI now shows up for me as well, but unknown serial and multipress problems remain.

You are almost at the 10th post.
Maybe wiping everything is a solution for that?

WhatsApp now works - it looks like the full wipe which solved the unknown IMEI problem also fixed WhatsApp.

have you guys tried multipress using the hardware keyboard? Does it work for you?

here using the shift and alt is working normally above 2 keys simultaneous ... not tested on that specifically, you will use more than 2 simultaneous keys?
with "multipress" I mean the feature invented by nadlabak/kabaldan that allows one to press the same key multiple times very quickly to enter special characters (like pressing "a" two times very fast producing "ä", for example.) It worked perfectly for me in CM7, but it doesn't anymore in CM10...
anyone, please?
It works fine for me. I use it frequently.
mvol: I still haven't found the time to implement the multipress feature completely in CM10. Only a few of the final bits is missing. Please be patient.
thanks for your answer - in that case, I'll wait patiently
Link not working for me
Hi All,
Im unable to access the latest builds for milestone CM10 by kabaldan. Please can anybody provide alternate link?
Thanks
Hello people!
I'm a long time CM ( 6 and 7 ) user on my Milestone.
After updating it to CM10 ( full wipe, ext3 partition formatted ), adb does not find my device anymore.
I have changed the USB settings and enabled the debugger in development, but nothing changes. Even after a restart.
Running on Ubuntu 12.10.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
The issue I have is quite annoying, if I can use such a word in a development stage . After each restart, the network is being forgotten, so I have to switch to the airplane mod off and on.
@pt0: This is a known issue, if I can say that. I experience this too, though not after every restart. I think it's a problem we can live with.
Hi guys,
First of all, a great (really great !) thanks to all and everyone involved with the JellyBean evervol rom, it work very very well on my dear old N1...
Well, it works very well but not quite flawlessly for me, and since I have not been able to find complaint about this on the dedicated topic in the android dev section, I post my questions here :
Since about one week ago, I remarked that my phone seems often unable to use the 3G connection : I mean I have full scale network with 3G label in the notification bar, but the logo stays grey (not turning blue) and all data request meet a deadend (chrome, news, gmail, ...) while, if I turn wifi on, it works great ...
And since 2 days ago, I started to have another trouble : my sim card just keep locking itself without (apparent) reason, I have to enter the pin code nearly every 5mn ...
No idea of what may be causing that ...
OK, I think I will in some times fall in love with the Nexus 4, but my N1 still working great with this superb Rom, I would like to wait a little (for instance, the time for Google to announce a 32 Go version of their baby ...)
So many thanks to anyone who can help me puting some additional life into this dear N1 ...
For info, I'm running the 3.1.0p1 version of the rom with a 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08 radio and I'm running on the Free Mobile network in France ...
I don't know what additional information I could provide to help, or any diagnostic I can run ?
Thank you in advance for your help ...
Hi, I have been using the xiaomi.eu rom on my Mi 10 Ultra for quite a while, it works fine in most scenarios but when it comes to functionality that is important when using the phone for calls, photo AND as a tool at work..... I have got rather frustrated with important bugs that never gets fixed even if I report them.
Has I been unlucky or is this "normal" when using xiaomi? (previously I have been using Samsung and Huawei and then I have never had theese problems)
The reason for asking is that I WANT to buy a Mi 11 Ultra but if that means: Top hardware, excellent camera and a lot of issues when it comes to using the phone for work => Need to choose something else.
Examples of issues:
* If I try to share a file over "teams", the phone (falsely) suggests that I'm not loged into my work profile and ask me to log in to that profile. However it is not possible.
* In similar way, it is IMPOSSIBLE to change keyboard layout on a physical keyboard. I can go into the menu but the changes I make are ignored. I live in Sweden but I can see on the internet that people in France has the same problem. Bug reported long time ago but no fix and no response whatsoever.
