[ROM][5.1.1][SaberMod-5.2] Benzo Rom

[Freak07]

Is there a way to disable the rounded corner from notification bubbles? Just couldn't find it

Has anyone had any luck with WiFi calling on Project Fi?

When I put it in Airplane mode and turn on WiFi it doesn't work.

Is there a certain Radio I should flash?

Thanks for asking the question, I'm wondering the same exact thing. I've had varying degrees of success, none stable. I did a clean install of Benzo using 1)Benzo gapps 2)another roms gapps and 3)tk gapps.
Using the TK gapps, I was able to get wifi calling working, but the rom was slightly unstable. I thought the other rom's gapps was the answer, until I realized it was not using wifi to call. The only way I can tell if wifi is working is if I put it into airplane mode, turn on wifi and see if it calls. And the really odd thing about using tk gapps is some themes will just not install, so odd. And the clock app has an issue.
I'm using the latest M radio, 17R. Try this gapps --> http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
Let me know how it turns out.

I think its the gapps that are a problem for WiFi calling. Tkgapps and PA gapps plus work fine for wifi calling. Look up my posts here on this thread and you can find the links.
I'd prefer a clean flash of benzo rom with other gapps. Hopefully it works out for you.

I'm using Tkgapps with project fi. Dark material theme works fine. What issues with clock app are you having?

I don't use Fi, but the latest radio from release 3 is 24r. Could that be a problem?

TK Stock Gapps did the trick for me...thanks guys

 

[jackpollard]

Thanks for the good suggestions regarding Project Fi, I also did the clean flash, latest Benzo and TK Full, I used the full due to Benzo's updating Google Webview, I didn't want to overwrite it. But if it works you should not have an issue. As for the clock, I forced stopped it, cleared it and it seems to be OK.
To test it all; I went into airplane mode, turned on Wifi and made a call. Then I turned on the cell service and it switched to Sprint.

I stand corrected. Thank you for that. I just looked it up on Verizon and you are right. I just read on some forum that it did. Won't do that again.

Typically, but not always, anything that you use that connects to Verizon directly doesn't count against your data use.

Volte, accessing their app to check your account info, downloading firmware (stock from them), etc.

They consider these to be official type actions and count the data use as overhead on their side. The issue is that you phone data tracker will still count it, so will tracking apps if you use them. I think the Verizon data widget though won't count it. Neither will the data transfer count on their site.

For the other person asking, Volte isn't necessarily to let you use the Internet while on your phone. You could do that before. Volte is verizon's version of what other networks call HD voice. The band's that they use typically for voice calls don't have much bandwidth available, hence why old phones with Internet like the original razr and such were so slow. What this means is that your call audio also had to be compressed. By switching off of the old 1x style networks and over to Volte it enables much more lossless audio. It also has the added benefit that as they get more people to convert to Volte, they have less antiquated equipment to maintain while being able to add more lte nodes to improve performance. I'd expect in the next few years there won't be an option in verizon for anything but Volte calls. Given that it reduces their equipment maintenance costs (less old nodes that aren't used much) in favor of lte nodes that they charge you data plan fees for whether you use them or not, they don't charge you for the little bit of data that their using for your calls.

Meanwhile, they just focus on the benefit to the consumer (your higher quality calls) and never really explain the why.

Make sense?

Fyi without volte the nexus 6 cannot do voice and data at the same time. The n6 only has one antenna unlike the moto x (at least the 2013) which had two.

Yeah, that's true for this phone, but not volte in general. But its a good point.

Anyone found a way to get Wi-Fi assistant working?

Do I just flash TK Gapps or do have to reflash the rom and then Gapps? Thanks.

I had to do the following; wipe system, dalvik and cache, flash rom, then flash TK gapps. It needs to not have another gapps flashed prior to installing it, unless its an older version of TK. Do a nandroid just in case.

 

[thunderstruck!]

So post 7029 is correct about the need for VoLTE to also use data? I use my phone a lot for navigation when I travel, so don't want to miss any traffic alerts if I'm talking on the phone. And what effect does VoLTE have on battery life?

Yeah I had to do a clean install to get TK Gapps working. Once I did that everything is working great.

in past two builds, i experienced VoLTE on T-Mobile causes crackling/distributions in phone calls/headset speaker. or possibility of a combination of Bluetooth(broadcast & searching, not connected Bluetooth) & VoLTE causes in bad phone call quality, like an interference kind of crackling.
above happens with 14R radio, I think I'm due for an update of the radio:
what is the latest radio version that is compatible with latest Benzo nightly builds & T-Mobile.

thank you in advance!!
and as always huge thank you to xanaxdroid for incredible ROM.

I had to remove IMS enabler to get the optimizing apps in background to work. I'll revert that and add back IMS Enabler in tonight's build. Should solve your problem.

 

[Mozelstein]

A few updates back I started having connectivity issues. Since I dirty flashed, I just dealt with it by toggling airplane mode until I had time to do a clean flash. Did a clean flash yesterday and the issues are persisting. Also, every boot up it does a double boot. Should I flash again? Is there something I can try to fix the connection problems?

FYI, I've been running this ROM for a good while and I'm getting drops in areas I've always had a fine connection.

Does this mean, tonights build will miss the optimizing apps in background feature? This is one of the coolest features you implemented. Flashed so many roms, just to try out something new but every time i come back to benzo rom. [emoji39]

Unfortunately yes. I've tried to get IMS Enabler to work with it, but it just won't. I'm gonna keep trying, but it force closes after boot. It's only a problem with the Nexus 6.
