[Verizon] [rom]jbsourcery v5.4-lte[06/07/13] jb4.2.2 The Final Call

Good morning and it's another wonderful week with JBSourcery 5! This has to be the zenith of JB development... I'm not sure how many other little surprises you could possibly throw into it! :D

I know that refinements to AOSP will likely be few and far between with us this close to Key Lime Pie release. You developers are miracle workers... You've taken the best of Android and made it better!

I don't know what you have in store next, but I can hardly wait to see it :)

I'm having some BT issues as well. Everything works fine in my car, but when I tried to use BT headphones I started seeing the following issue.

I was connected to my work network via WiFi and I connected to my Motorola BT headphones before I went on a lunch walk. I started playing music through Pandora. Everything was working fine and I walked out of the office with my phone in my pocket, music playing... all good until I got out of range of the company WiFi. When the network switched to 4g, my headphones would only play if my phone was in my hand, about 1-2 feet from the headphones. If I put my phone in my pant pocket, it would disconnect. Take the phone out of my pocket, it would connect and play fine. Put it back in my pocket - disconnect.

I don't know why it worked fine on WiFi...

I also get random BT errors on screen when BT is on and not connected to anything. I'll have to remember the exact wording next time I see it. Not sure if related.

I'm on 5.0 after a complete wipe, clean install.

Only other issue I've seen is the default browser will randomly FC while viewing a page... happened twice this morning.

Other than that, everything else is running fine! Loving the ROM.

Update to this...

My BT really started going nuts on Friday. I was about to flash back a version, but decided to try the BTFix first.

Flashed it right before lunch today. Rebooted phone and connected to my headset without issue. Had a great walk listening to Pandora over my BT headphones.

All seems great!

I flashed the new radios. Of course, I didn't do that until I got to work, which has gobs of wifi spilling all over the place, so the new radios haven't actually done anything yet. We'll see if there's any improvements tonight when I go home. There's one subway station that has chronically had terrible service after getting above ground, and each radio update has improved the signal acquisition time, which is super important for checking Nextbus to see if I should wait for the bus or just walk.

reboots.. yes there seems to be an issue.
its something due to the merge of 4.2.2
its so hard to narrow don since its not steady and having problems at various times i have seen it once.

i am changing some thigns to see if i can track it down with an experimental build.

these are soft reboots not seeing system ui crashes just the soft reboots ive seen reported.

so we are looking at it.

I was experiencing occasional soft reboots but since switching to Leankernel 6.1 exp1-180, I have had none. Been about 48 hours now without a reboot.

Don't know if this will help, but here's what I've seen twice now.

I get a few texts and send reply back. At some point, after maybe five or so texts and replies, my live wallpaper (SimoSoft Project's Matrix live paper)seems to quit and is replaced with the blue JB Sourcery static wallpaper. When I go into the wallpaper settings, the preview for the live wall paper won't load. I can, however, change to another live wallpaper (KiietehFace's Koi live wall paper).

The next text I get, the phone reboots.

Haven't noticed any other problems.
