CFW Android 10 Custom Roms are stable for daily driver, but...
All devs hide you the common bugs because they are known (what?, if I'm new here? You're supposed to know them)
For doing it short I'm writing here these known common bugs...
- Wearing earphones and entering a call goes at highest volume possible.
- You can't activate speakerphone during a call
- Calling app crashes if other is not reachable
- You can't deactivate SIMS if you are interested in.
- Bluetooht whastapp calls don't work at all.
- You can record calls if you use UCRE but you will enjoy yourself in echo during bluetooth calls.
- You need other cam app if you want to take real profit from cams.
- No FM radio at all
If you think I have forgotten something or maybe have been fixed tell me here.

NFC works in most roms
Xiaomi somehow changed the camera hardware. So for the newer models the camera is broken.
You can get the backcamera working but no selfie camera.
This is the reason I need to sell my new RN8pro. For verification for some apps I need to use the selfie cam.
I would have loved to have read about that bug before I bought it.

I came upon a dealbreaker issue with bluetooth. I haven't used bluetooth since long before i rooted my desire and have had this issue since last week when i started using bluetooth again.
My headsets are two Sony Ericsson MW600 and the issue is with cm7.2 based ROMs.
I have tried with Mildwild 5.0 and Cronmod 1.05.
The issue consists of sound not being transferred to and from headset at incoming call. Ringtone plays when call comes in and phone button works on headset. Otherwise media plays satisfyingly but not flawless.
A forum search revealed one previous post with same phone, same issue, cm7.2 base and different headset. No answers to that thread, though.
I'd like to collect some experiences on the matter, to present devs with.
Thanks
Problem solved. Bt in conflict with call recording app. Changed to skvalex's call recording app and all good.
I have a similar issue with MIUI rom. how can i change / disable the recording application?
Try uninstalling or freezing it. Then make a call.
As far as i can see, there is no way to remove the recording option.
The recording is disabled (not recording) by default, and i never enabled it.
I did all my checks on clean install.
Try to find a suspicious service and stop it. Any weird thing might be what's interfering with your bt. Try altering every setting that has anything to do with calls. T n' E
I was unable to find some service responsible.
Buy chance, a friend of mine came with the same phone and asked me to root in and install the same rom i have.
in his case the headset worked with original rom and with the rom i use.
the only difference i noticed was different Radio version.
His is 5.10.05.30
and mine is 5.17.05.23
I also think that his device use OLED display and mine SLCD
So, of course you secretly switched phones with him?
Unfortunately no. So the problem is still there.
hi. I have done so many tests so far so I know what I'm saying.
most used ROMs for N7100 are heavly unstable with bluetooth.
effects are various, from stuttering in a2dp with BT headset to bad reconnecting to low power devices (example smartbands) etc.
again, to connect to some special device I need to reboot many times, for example some kind of internet things.
at the moment the ONLY rom, beside stock, that has a PERFECT manage of bluetooth is:
[OK] ---- [ROM][5.1.1][Haxynox] AOSP for n7100
and roms I tested that has not:
[NOT] ---- [ROM][5.1.1] 12.11.2015 Cyanogenmod 12.1 N7100
[NOT] ---- [ROM][6.0.1] Cyanogenmod 13.0 N7100 Build 8
[NOT] ---- Paranoid Android for Note II(GT-N7100)
[NOT] ---- [ROM][5.1.1_r24][Official][Nightlies]Exodus Android for Samsung note II
[NOT] ---- [ROM][5.1.1][Lollipop][Official][Nightlies] NamelessROM 2.1
[NOT] ---- [ROM] CyanoBiz - CM-13.0 - Doze enable - n7100 / Galaxy Notes2
[continue]
how to test:
there are many methods to test bad handling of bluetooth, most important test with daily use, but to prevent headache you can do in this way.
- pair any bluetooth headset or car free-hand kit.
- play some music to that device
- meantime go to bluetooth option and search for new devices
- if music stutters that rom is affected with bt issues, if not rom will never hurt you and your devices.
so: why I don't stay with Haxynox?
I would but that rom is
a little unstable.
vivavoice volume doesn't work.
bt file transfer crashes.
sometime reboots.
doesn't handle >16GB sd card.
doesn't handle movetosd.
developer is working on CM13 and left this.
please feedback here to have stable bluetooth back!

On RR Lollipop I've had bt stuttering
on dr.ketan kitkat bt was very good
on CM 13 build 7 bt works just fine: tested on mazda infotainment, bt jack adapter, JBL speaker, laptop, pairing with other phone also ok and recently with SmartWatch 3, so I think it's related to hardware if you can't get it to work
thank you for reply. sorry but I don't think is hardware related.
I read tons of thread where n7100 owners wait for a build with decent bluetooth manager. most are still searching for. I was lucky as I found at least haynox build.
so I decided to share this.
did you test playing music through bt speakers and while listen music going to 'searching for bt device' screen?

no, I think when it's paired with device and sound plays well, so there is no need to go there, but I#ll check it this evening

[ROM][5.1.1_r24][Official][Nightlies]Exodus Android for Samsung note II
[ROM][5.1.1][Lollipop][Official][Nightlies] NamelessROM 2.1
both have bt issues
yep, I had to go back to stock.. my sony smartwatch 3 was unusable.... I don't like to put my money on trash...
[ROM][5.1.1] 12.11.2015 Cyanogenmod 12.1 N7100
[ROM][6.0.1] Cyanogenmod 13.0 N7100 Build 8
Have problems with bluetooth calls (Static, robot voice), Music player is fine
As I added more bt devices it started to stutter rarely. I noticed that it only stutters when bt is searching, although it's connected.
CM13 build 7.
I believe it's related to data flow, it just can't send/receive that much data simultaneously
ok, after tried so many roms I can say that if you have that stutter bluetooth is less stabile than ideal. can be that you have devices where is less evident. but it's not the way to be:
if you can nandroid backup your note2 and try haynox build. you'll nave stable BT and in test never stutters. in fact there's no way to make it stutter with this ROM. but as said there are other issues..
less than ideal.
[ROM] CyanoBiz - CM-13.0 - Doze enable - n7100 / Galaxy Notes2
my hope for BT was fix by P.A.N. from i9305 github, but NO, it doesn't work well.
waiting for AOSP from same developer
Any news about this?
CM Roms were always weak about bluetooth stream. I have a 6p now and it's happening. On Pure Nexus I'm fine but would love to stay CM
after many devices and settings I came into conclusion, that bluetooth problem is related to android wear app. When I had paired SW3 and allowed Note2 to constantly search for my watch it stutters often, but after uninstalling all that crap, Note don't search for other devices when connected to 1 device and sound doesn't stutter, not even once.
I'm using CM13 build 10
Umm I posted some stuff in Ivan's build 10 rom thread. If you switch network to 2G instead of 3G, bluetooth calling works once again. I tested this about 20 times afterwards and it worked everytime. It even works with traffalguar square's rom.
Hope it helps.
[ROM][6.0.1][v6.18][Beanstalk][OFFICIAL][Great Experience][DU-Features][19.06.16]
This rom have bt issue too.
Still no solution ?
I found a good ROM
I've been struggling with BT Handsfree issue for a very long time. I almost bought a new phone recently, because of this issue. I drive a lot and I really need that function. Samsung original stock rom is so bloated and ugly that it was not an option. Unfortunately non of the CM and AOSP ROMS have fully working BT audio.
I found a solution: [ROM][GT-N7100][TW 4.4.4] Eclipse By AC version 9
It is a stock based ROM with TouchWiz UI. I don't like Samsung interface but this one is really debloated and very pleasant. I think I will get used to it. It's super stable and very fast. I moved to it a few days ago, and my Plantronics M70 headset is finally working like a charm. Just remember to make a full phone wipe before install (including data partition). I had some issues with that.
Hello, me again...
So I stumbled upon a bug in majority of ROMS, and I wondered if this is fixed or not, because I have been trying to fix this issue for almost 2 days.
So the problem is that, on some (majority) custom ROMS, microphone is not working. When I record a sound - no reaction, and when I record video, there is only static (white) noise - and nothing else.
This is not a hardware issue, for I installed stock firmware, and it's working there. There are also some ROMS, on which the mic was working( but I forgot which one it was).
Is there anything for me to try? This problem is annyoing, because i want atleast 4.0.4 or 4.1 rom, and use my phone as camera, but it ain't working.
P.S Currently I'm on XperiaPlay Z Final Ultimate Edition and it's not working.
UPDATE: I tried different Camera APP, and it doesn't work either.
The only thing i noticed is, that when i go to the service menu, and test the First MIC - it works. When I test the Second Mic(Back Mic) it doesn't work, and makes the static noise.
So I guess there's a problem with the back mic drivers or something ?
UPDATE2 : So, yesterday I tried bunch of roms and even tried CM 13.0 - The sound was recording in camera (despite that I had to install open camera to even get to the camera because of FC). Then I tried one of the 4pda forum ROMS - 4PDA-XPlay-Gamer-Ultra (though it is ICS) and the microphone works fine. What could be the cause ?
Hello.
I am on latest AEX 6.7, I have bought a pair of bluetooth 5.0 headphones, and the audio on call is really bad (they hear me far away). I'm pretty sure it's the ROM's fault (the headphones are of excellent quality).
Is bluetooth bad on any AOSP ROMs? Do you have any suggestions?

Is this module for record phone calls? The recording of phone calls is already integrated in the AEX, and that isn't the problem.. the problem is the poor quality of the microphone of the bluetooth earphones in phone calls.

You didn't understand the meaning of my post.
Phone microphone is ok, both in voice call (also recorded), and VoIP.
The problem is when I connect a bluetooth headset, so the default microphone becomes the bluetooth headset, so when I make a phone call (normal or VoIP) my voice feels very low and far, and my caller struggles to hear me.
So, I asked, since I'm sure the bluetooth headsets are of excellent quality, if I could do something to improve the bluetooth of the zuk in the calls, because I read around that the problem could be of the AOSP roms, but I don't want to go back to a rom stock only for bluetooth (and I'm not even sure it would improve).
(If even now you have not understood the meaning of my question, you are a troll)

Is the recording OK when not using BT headset keeping recording format same.
Just to let you know.. There are other users who have faced problem of similar kind whose issues have resolved by changing audio recording format to aac.. I also use Bluetooth headset seinhizer HD 4.40 BT.. I have no such issues coz I always use the module and no such issues for me.. That's why I suggested..
I don't troll.
Skavalex has option to select recording source as internal and not mic which could have solved your problem.

Ok, i will try. Thanks ?
Tws earphones are often limited in this, the mic is actually far away from your mouth so you might get low input from them, the fault isnt your phone, its just that even the pricier tws earphones suffer the same problem. Its just physics, when you speak, the sound goes forward but the mic of the tws is near your ear so the sound gain is very low. Try using the same tws on other phone amd see if the problem persists

Yes.. I solved it by changing the smartphone Unfortunately, by switching to ROM AOSP there is a worsening of many things, which come out in daily use, for example, the audio in VoIP video calls (whatsapp, Instagram, etc.) is poor .. they hear me very far away or with disturbances .
Many of the posts on working with an external microphone suggests you use open camera app or G-cam port apk. Which accepts an external microphone. While Oxygen OS OTA updates do not seem to add this feature. Many of you purchased an expensive external microphone to use with a stock camera for OP6t. But it does not seem to work.
An alternative approach to this problem is for both rooted and non-rooted is to make a WhatsApp call. Your mic is connected through a USB-C adopter with 3.5mm jack input TRRS to TRRS 4 pole plug.
While in a voice call switch to the stock OS camera and then record.
While you are recording stop the WhatsApp call and then go on taking the input from the external mic. once recording stops you need to go through the whole process again and again.
However, sometimes if the call goes longer in ringing mode. If you delay disconnecting the call while recording, the sound may go out of sync for video and audio. It's better to disconnect the call as soon as you start recording the video. But this solution is problematic for content creators. If something or any other app that can emulate WhatsApp calls would be good enough to make OS think of that external mic as input. I already tried with the stock screen recording app which has a microphone option but it does not work either.
After going through google search, I am not sure anyone would have any other alternative solution like Magisk Module or Xposed modules for external mic or any other. This issue with the external mic is widely ignored for the stock camera. Reason to work with Stock Camera is to take advantage of OP6T's 4k60fps and its best way to take what OP6t has to offer. While other apps do this with 30fps.
For those who are content creators like making youtube videos etc, the solution to this problem would be a gift for all to take advantage of OP6T to its full potential. Let me know if this partial solution helps.
