Hi all guys, can you tell me what is the most stable rom for sensation xl? I saw that many are based on stock Android 4.2.2 (cyanogen, paranoid, runnycm) then what is the best?
ps, all have the function beats audio?
Read the rules we cannot in any way answer your question becaus that depends on what you are using your phone for, and will be diffrent from peolple to peolpe which one they think is the best. But i can tell you , for now rootbox has most bugs i think. Rest is very simlar.
Sent from my Sensation XL using XDA Premium HD app
In my opinion Evervolv has been the best performing, most stable ROM I have used. I'm currently using cyanogenmod, which seems fractionally slower, and seems to have minor issues with apps crashing, although the devs are doing a great job with improving all ROMs.
If you already have unlocked you phone (unlock bl, rooted, s-off) then just flash a rom which you think fits to your behaviours. Always make a backup before doing this, so if you get annoyed of the rom you can go into your recovery restore the backup and you have your old rom on your phone. It takes 5 minutes to restore so don't be lazy
I am running Cyanogenmod 10.1 v1.3 from onyjay99 since yesterday and until know i have to say its very smooth, i found a few bugs nevertheless its very smooth and fast!
If you didn't unlock your phone currently, then make up your mind if you want to stay stock rom or want to get a custom rom!

Evervolv 3.2.0 and CyanogenMod 10.1 M3 v1.3.5 are great stable 4.2.2 roms but both contains few little bugs (today many bugs were fixed in the 1.3.6 version update of Cyanogenmod 10.1 but i didn't update yet)
Other 4.2.2 roms have great features but aren't as stable as the 2 above,contain many bugs and not updated since long time now
Also tried XL 4.0 v7 rom with sense 4.0 wich is a great stable ics rom , you can try king cobra xl rom too but the XL 4.0 rom is more stable.If you don't like sense ui try there is a sensless ics rom outhere just search for it.
I'm running cyanogenmod 10.1 v1.3.5 right now and i'm quite happy with it's preformance and i like it more than evervolv rom.
Only XL 4.0 and King cobra xl have beats audio installed.You can install beats on all of the others just search for "awsome beats"

Appreciate it mate, thank u :good:
Hello, few months ago, I've installed a custom ROM on my N7000 and before I do that, the front camera was working just fine, but after I installed CM 11, it stopped working ever since, I then changed ROM to AICP and no avail, then I flashed back to Stock ICS 4.1.2 and also didn't work, what should I do? Is it a hardware defect? Or just about Kernel, ROM, Software stuff? Help will be much appreciated.
Regards.
This project is discontinued. Please do not expect any replays from me in this thread. You may still use the attached files (if available) in your own risk. Thank you...
Most of the klte (SM-G900F) custom ROMs and Kernels are not suitable to Korean variants kltektt – kltelgt - klteskt (SM-G900K/L/S: called kltexxx from here onward) by default due to the significantly different device tree blob (dtb). We, a Facebook group of Korean galaxy S5 users, already made many klte ROMs and Kernels suitable to kltexxx by editing the boot.img according to my previous post. I am now posting a one step method via recovery flashing a simple zip file to update the dtb, which will virtually make any klte ROM/Kernel suitable to kltexxx. The original Kernel and Ramdisk will be retained after flashing this file.
/* Warning */
I am not responsible for any damage to your device. Everything you are doing on your mobile is on your own risk.
This method is only tested in kltexxx.
Please note that rooting and flashing custom recoveries/ROMs will void your warranty.
/* Requirements */
Rooted SM-G900S/K/L with a working custom recovery (TWRP for the klte variant is recommended. Please note that a recovery image of klte variant is necessary for flashing any custom ROMs originally developed for that model).
The device bootloader and modem should be compatible with the new ROM/Kernel.
/* Download */
Korean galaxy S5 dtb updater
/* How to */
1. Flash klte ROM/Kernel
2. Flash GAPPS (if needed)
3. Flash the above downloaded dtb updater
4. Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
5. Reboot and enjoy
/* Tested ROMs and Kernels */
List of tested ROMs and Kernels are available in the second post.

Absolutely Brilliant Flashed haggerts latest build 1022, with open gaps pico and your zip at the end .
CM14
Gapps
dtb.zip
install zip
Wipe dalvik/Cache
Reboot
Works perfectly.......Thank you very much.
Hmm, there are a few issues, with sound but unfortunately I dont have time to test them right now. Anyhow the Rom boots fine and it's looking very promising(and it's an Alpha ROM so no blame in any direction).
A superb zip that brings us into the flashing field:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Continued testing haggert CM14
Problems encountered and fixed at install.
Adaway and Busybox will not install, anyone having this problem(on any model I suspect) can fix this by using Linux Mode Changer and set to permissive(set back to enforcing after installif you wish. Can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2524485
Skype test call and phone works with speakers enabled. Skype has very low mic recording sound this can be fixed by installing fix from here(I used 11.7).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...se-s5-t3190613
Problem with sound that I think only relates to this model and maybe the dtb.zip, there is no sound in earpiece unless you enable speakers also there is no media sound in speakers for instance youtube videos have no sound. I have attached three syslogs
1. skype testcall speakers off
2.skype testcall speakers on
3. skype testcall speakers on and soundfix installed.
syslog can be retrieved from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69276042&postcount=377
Downloaded and installed CrDroid CM14 also built on 1022, Exactly the same Audio issue. The question is- is it an issue with the patch or is it an issue with CM14 on Korean phones?
---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------
sunilpaulmathew,
The roms that you list as tested, did you actually check audio on them or when it says tested it means boots with no obvious problem?
Thanks @thaidroid for testing the zip file... However, this zip file only ensure booting of klte ROMs on korean variants... and yes... I know about the audio bug... not only in cm, most of the klte ROMs results the same issue while using korean variants although we found fixes for some TW ROMs. Special patches might be needed to solve this issue (but I have no idea abt how to deal).
Edit: As I understand, from our experience to deal with this issue in cm-13.0, this is a kernel issue...

Well it cant be far away(he added with absolutely no clue)since Audio works in the earpiece and speakers when speakers are enabled but then we also need audio to work for other media like browser and Hello Google. On a side note I noticed another thing, when flashing your zip on CM14 klte all of a sudden 2G networks was enabled on the phone and working to I think.

Sound is broken in most of the AOSP and cm ROMs... However, fixes are available for some TW roms. For more info, join with us in facebook group.

I don't have a Facebook account and absolutely no plan to get one so I guess I'll just have to check in now and then to see if there are any updates.
Posting Roms that boot is sort of interesting but I suggest that you update the post on the ROM's with a "telephony works Yes/No"
Probably should say "Audio in earpiece works Yes/NO"
Audio bug is solved in cm-14.1

An important and valuable information... audio bug is solved by one of our member (Lee Xens ) via a new Kernel. Simply flash this after ROM.

KOREAN PHONE VERSIONS IN BUSINESS
I just dirty Flashed Over a very old CM14.1 Backup
Latest klte 11/25
Latest 7.1 arm nano
The new Kernel
Just made a call to a Friend Sound was excellent
Sent myself a text-message that also worked
Wifi is fine
Not had a chance to test anything else.
One more thing, Flashing KLTE on korean version gives you access to 2G, not available on the Samsung MM Rom's for kltkor
Skype test call problem discovered, If you make a testcall using earpiece and phone normally all is fine.
Using speakers enabled they work well for the skype voice but not your own( it seems it comes only through the earpiece and very low at that,
mind you it's a minor issue, maybe something in the new kernel that can fix this?
GPS works from inside the house I get lock on 10 satellites to within 10 Feet accuracy.
Just discovered that rotation is a bit of a hit and miss . Sometimes it does and sometimes not so since this has been reported on 900F devices and I have it here on an 900S device using the F version ROM it is probably safe to say its a ROM issue(I use another Kernel than the one in the F ROM)

No.. Since I am busy with some personal things, I can't flash anything for a while other than cm-14.1 and related stuffs. But I strongly believe that it will work with any cm-14.1 based ROMs like crdroid... But not sure abt pure AOSP builds...

Please try another kernel like Chrono Kernel R5.8.2. If it doesn't work, I suggest you to try another rom like Lineage OS 11 [4.4.4].

I also tried lineage OS 11 but same problem
Hello.
So, I was using the stock MIUI ROM before changing, sound was working fine.
Installed TWRP and tried a bunch of custom roms. LineageOS 15.1, Resurrection Remix v6.0.0 [VoLTE], Cosmic-OS v3.1 and a few more. The sound didn't work in any of them.
Tried installing a new kernel, didn't know if it was because of that so I installed DragonXia Kernel v3.9, which doesn't seem to have helped.
What am I doing wrong here? What should I install?
Thanl you very much.
