Possible for a custom ROM to mess up radio??

Is it possible for a custom ROM to disable a radio?? I was under the impression (after much Google-ing) that a S-ON phone can NOT modify the radio via IMG file (or any other method).

I have been trying several ROMs on my Desire S and finally found one I really like. Problem is, I no longer get any radio signal (no bars, no service). My Desire is rooted/unlocked, running Cyanogen Mod 9, HBOOT 2.00.0002, S-ON, radio 3822.10.08.04_M, service provider is AT&T US.

Any thoughts HTC gurus? THANK you in advance for any helpful info :)

***Pls no flaming just cause I LIKE a smaller form factor phone. If I could buy a NEW phone with 3.7"-4" screen I would. They just don't make em.

Why only stock android based custom Roms? Why no porting??

While I really appreciate the work put in by the developers for Zenfone 2, I don't see any ported roms from other flagship devices like any Note Rom, Miui Rom, Sony etc. ?
If any of the developers is listening, please port some roms from other devices, it will be a good change and new experience for our amazing Z2. Thanks !!! :D

Restore Original Mac Address On Custom Roms (Solve WiFi Dropping)

Restore original MAC Address

1- Open /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0
OR /system/etc/firmware/wlan_macaddr0

2- Copy it's content. Ex: 01:12:13:14:15:16

3- Open /data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

4- Find this line

Code:

---

Intf0MacAddress=000AF58989FF

---

5- Replace 000AF58989FF with the content of wlan_macaddr0, but write back to front. Ex: from 01:12:13:14:15:16, write to 161514131201. So it will look like this

Code:

---

Intf0MacAddress=161514131201

---

6- Save & Exit, Reboot the phone

S6 Wifi Fail after Custom Rom Install

Hi guys,

I've just recently (over the weekend) installed VaderRom on my S6, but after I installed the custom ROM (not after root/kernel flash, which was a few days before) I can no longer use WiFi. The phone connects to the Wifi – not problems there, the connection is "Very Good" – but it absolutely refuses to transmit any data over the network. Every internet based app says I'm not connected to the net.

I have a G920I, which I had already updated to stock 5.1.1; Flashed the unikernel appropriate to my model (no issues), got Root, custom recovery, etc. Then, later, I decided to install VaderRom – no issues with install, and everything worked fine. Except WiFi.

Tried XtreStroLite as well, just to see if anything changed, but no joy.

Tried flashing a new bootloader and modem (currently this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...pport-t3154861), but no change.

Have now restored to a nandroid backup from before the custom ROM flash, but I still can't get any data over Wifi.

Soooooo............ Does anyone have any ideas? I've Googled, I've searched these forums, I've looked for the last few days for a solution, but I've not seen a single post that seems to cover this issue.

Cheers for any help!

[TUT] [HOW TO] ADD custom sounds in your Xperia theme

Introduction :
Hi guys .. Sony developers have added a hidden feature in their theme engine since we got the official lollipop update and it is that we can add custom sounds in our themes ! I have tested this feature and worked for me , the cool part is it works also on un-rooted devices NO NEED FOR SUPER USER MOD DUDES :fingers-crossed: .

What do you need :

• A PC / Laptop .


• An Xperia device ( Running LP - Not sure if this will work on a lower platform ) .


• Apktool and a knowledge in how to use it .


• Songs to add :P .


• A brain .

Instructions :

• Download my zip file in the attachment below .


• Decompile it in your apktool folder .


• Go to Res / Raw .
  - There you will find 3 files ( Ogg types ) called :
  • Alarm_sound : Sound of Alarm .
  
  
  • Notification_sound : The sound when an notification appear .
  
  
  • Ringtone_sound : The sound when a call is coming .
  
  


• Replace the 3 Ogg files with the songs / sounds you want . ( No need to change the type of them for Ogg ! ) .


• Recompile the file using apktool .


• Move the zip to your assets folder inside your theme .


• Add this line in your theme's AndroidManifest.xml file :
  
  
  

  Code:

Install Custom Recovery and Root for Moto G xt1033 Lollipop 5.1 stock

I am not responsible for devices this process works for my device moto g asia retail ..... Try this at your own risk

hey,
Chill everyone: while flashing twrp , custom recovery it seems mismatch of partition file ...... everyone donot use twrp who has posted in previous threads or donot flash devices with minimal ADB and fastboot through C: storage


You all need to Flash the custom recovery only through Platform tools from SDK

Then Download the latest TWRP file

After that Download supersu v2.46 then install into your device

Finally your device is rooted in Lollipop 5.1

Unable to Connect to Mobile Network on Any Custom Rom

Hi Folks
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini - GT-i8190. I have CWM recovery install which is fully functional - However i have a problem
I have installed about 9 custom roms and none of them, not one, will connect to a mobile network - What i have tried thus far:

• i have tried three different workjing sim cards -


• I have tried a total of nine roms ranging from CM 10 to CM 11, Omni, Carbon, Slimkat and several other variations


• All of these roms install perfectly and are fully functional except for connecting to the network


• When i use Odin to reflash my Stock Rom Backup - everything works perfectly again - i connect to my mobile server with no issues what so ever


• When installing a custom rom i always wipe data - factory reset - and i have also tried formating system and wiping Dalvik cache

I am not an expert but i have customized several phones for family and friends and i have yet to completely brick anything - (came close once but managed to use odin to get out of jail :cyclops:)

But this one has me completely stumped - it is fully unlocked and will work with any network using stock rom -

Is there anyone who can point me in the direction of a fix for this - or to another rom that may not have this problem - i realize its probable that its not the roms but i havent found any sign that others are having this problem

Much obliged for your assistance folks
