He's pushed up stuff to github for both maguro and toro so i'm thinking he's getting it worked out. I'm hoping tonight or tomorrow but who knows

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my BB ROM. The problem is the earpiece speaker volume is very low. I've set the volume to max, but I'm still having trouble hearing people when I make a call (or receiving a call). What do you guys think the problem is? Thanks for any help guys!

I haven't seen that really but the Gnex does notoriously have a lower volume but BB is suppose to have a fix for that.

3 things you can try

1) Use an equalizer app like Equalizer to give the volume a bit of a boost.
2) Install the latest version of franco's kernel, it's got a volume booster.
3) Go back to stock and see if you have the problem to rule out a hardware issue.

I'd start with 1 and move up to 3 to see if it fixes it.

Hey guys, I figured out what was wrong with my earpiece. The earpiece speaker was clogged with grease and debris. To fix the problem, I took a small needle and cleaned out each pine hole in the speaker. Hopefully, this little DIY will help someone out in the future.

P.S. thanks for all the help guys!!!

Anyone having problems with GPS? I've flashed several different builds of this ROM and GPS won't work for any of them. Am I missing something?

Thought the latest build fixed that

Can't help you there...I've never had any GPS issues using BB.

I don't know what happened, but I reflashed again and it works now. I guess the flash just got corrupted somehow.

If anyone got tired of waiting for new BB like me, you may want to give Shiny a try. It's 4.2.1, rock solid stable, and fast. AOSP with very few mods. Check it out -

I've been using Jelly Belly and it's pretty good too.

**ckeegan003** · 12-06-2012, 06:22 AM

The wait is getting pretty painful.

Ah it's fine. There are plenty of other great ROMs out there to try while you wait. I've hopped on 4 different ones. Shiny is my favorite so far.

I believe he's getting a Nexus 4 so I'm sure once that gets in we'll see more activity. Just a guess though.

BB has always been worth waiting for.

Isn't he in school or something? Maybe he's taking finals

I think he's done school. He's working for T-Mobile now.

Looks like I'll have to abandon any support for the BB and move on to Shinys mod. Having already been weeks since 4.2 was released, it's clear BB is not very interested on releasing his 4.2.

**gregs1213** · 12-10-2012, 06:00 PM

Seems like developers have been abandoning the GNex since the Nexus 4 came out

There used to be TONS of up to date roms, now there are a couple..

**tony bag o donuts** · 12-10-2012, 06:11 PM

I'm happy with bb as it stands and as of now have no need to upgrade to 4.2

You can like two ROMs at the same time, no one will mind. Shiny's stuff is a good choice, I really like it.

Yup, just the natural progression of things. Historically though Pete has back supported his devices to a degree. Obviously he can't continue to support everything and what's happened in the past isn't an indication of what will happen in the future. So who knows. But I agree, devs like new things and they don't like supporting old things. Since all these ROMs are done as hobbies there's not reason (or obligation) for them to continue to support older devices if they don't want to.

Yup! 4.1 is still Jelly Bean, there isn't much difference between the two versions. In fact, honestly in many ways I prefer 4.1. It had better battery life on average and I liked how the lock screen worked better. Been toying with going back to 4.1 and BB until Christmas when I get my Nexus 4.

Where do you shop for roms? Other than BB, I see most all of the same toro devs posting 4.2.x builds on rootzwiki, xda, goo, etc...if anything a few more doing aosp build (not my thing).
Heard Franco ditched the GS3 already, was pretty surprised at that with the popularity of the device. Said he's thinking about going Nexi only. Anyway, of course the N4 is going to get a lot of dev attention, but the gnex will get solid dev support for a long time. Don't make me a liar devs

**kca2000** · 12-12-2012, 05:43 PM

Does anyone have a mirror for petes latest 4.1 release? (I assume 4.1.2) Not ready to make the jump to 4.2 and need something rock stable to take me through the Holidays. None of his own seem to work. Thanks in advance!

**HurrrDurrrDURP** · 12-12-2012, 06:30 PM

Same here, cannot download bugless beast, returns a 500 error

Of course.. I hope it didn't sound like I was complaining or mad at developers.. I got nothing but love for them.

For those looking for a BB alternative, I tried MMuzzy and found it to be slow overall with very poor reception. Never has my full-barred 4G signal dropped for no reason more than on this ROM.

Have been using Shiny now for a bit and its wonderful. A real BB replacement. Can't believe how fast everything is now. Been looking longingly at the Note II and DNA, but with this ROM I'm good to go.

**tony bag o donuts** · 12-13-2012, 07:38 PM

If the beast is indeed done for I may go back to an app build using the pink unicorn.
I wish Pete would come out and say that he is done with the gnex or not.
