Will this cm rom fit to my I8730ZHAMG2
I mean is the lte network workable on this rom for my country?

 

[aureljared]

I don't see why not If you bought your phone in your current country, then most likely local LTE will work out of the box.
AFAIK @szezso has already ironed out all LTE issues in CyanogenMod.

Bluetooth and zoom

Hello, thank you very much for all the work you do, I've tried several versions of this ROM and all have the same problem, do not know if it's just me, but if it serves my comments to improve this ROM, because I come to mention it.

*The bluetooth does not admit any shipment or receipt, and the camera does not zoom. A greeting.

Just installed the November 2nd build. The Wi-Fi power drain I noticed in October 26th build is gone.

Keep up the great work!

Audio problem

hello
I installed the ROM . So far, no problem ... except during a call, I noticed that the sound was ultra garbled ! It's really disagreeable ... Does anyone have the same problem? Also, someone has a solution for this problem?
Update: also, all music is fast and no matter what the support (player of the phone, spotify ...)
Thank you for your quick answer

Flash the I8730XWAMK1 baseband via odin (bootloop)

Can I still flash the I8730XWAMK1 baseband via odin even though my Samsung Express is stuck up at samsung logo? Im planning to flash to CM 11.0 for Samsung Express and Im bothered about this step on flashing the I8730XWAMK1 baseband via odin.

Battery issue

Thanks for this awesome mod, it's really nice, I had it, but I changed back to stock 4.1.2, because I have problem with this mod, it drain battery very fast!! It dropped from 75% till 30 % in like 2 hours. It wasn't used often, I was on work, and been checking Facebook each 15 minutes, but wasn't long using it, only 5 minutes. I like mod and I'd like to have it, but I can't stand with battery drain. On stock, I can use phone for atleast 2 days with normal usage and playing games. If you guys have any solutions to my problem, I'd really appriciate it!

CWM 11.0 bugs / Solution made it worse

Hey.

I managed to install properly the cwm 11 on my samsung but it turned out to have all those bugs listed on the main thread. (No audio, phone blackout, etc)

After that i tried the solution given on that same thread, install another firmwire. What happened was, during it, odin had some kind of failure and it stopped, which turned my phone into a rock. After some research on our good friend Google i managed to bring it back to life but its still a bit buggy.

The thing is: Why didnt the solution worked/odin had a failure? I was so hyped about having the new android version.

(Sorry for my not-so-perfect english)

 

[furcy]

can someone place working link for I8730XWAMK1 baseband?

Flash method

Hi guys, and thank for your hard work.

I have the Express, it's my girlfriends phone and it's totally stock.
My question is:
Should I still flash some Baseband from a stock rom or this is not required?
Is the method something like:
1- Backup
2 - Root (Framaroot?)
3 - Flashify
4 - Flash recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.0 ?)
5 - All Wipes
6 - Flash CM11 or CM12 and then GAPPS

Any hint on the latest good GAPP that as no issue with the latest CM versions?

Thank in advance.

An update!

Hey guys, first of all, thanks for this awesome ROM. I am owner of an I8730 device, I don't prefer latest 5.1.1 CM ROM, not a fan of the Lolipop at all. Just been wondering, do you guys plan to push an update so far? Or it's a dead project ?

 

[Quixy]

Have been used it for 1 year now, and haven´t had bigger problems.

 

[ghica54]

the sensors work poorly (rotation, liniar accelerometer, gravity)

After a some time testing this build I've noticed that magnet sensor doesn't work at all.
And the same happens to me. [ROM] CyanogenMod 511 12.1 baseband: I8730XWAMK1.
StockRoom initially is Vodafone I8730XWAMB7 .
I install apps from the Google Play store. The problem is That the application does not work Any type: compass, or planetarium.
I think drivers are the problem sensor.
Linear Acceleration AOSP Sensor--AOSP
Gravity Sensor ----------------------- AOSP
Orientation Sensor ------------------ AOSP
Try installing Androsensor.apk, Skeye.apk or Compass.apk and say what problems you have.
