Root [ROM] Mobster Remix - 07/18/13 only 265 MB

So flashed this rom for the first time other day, liking it so far. Only thing I miss being on this rom is not being able to hold volume keys to change songs and not having reboot to recovery in power menu but that don't really bothered me to much.

Why does it got leedroid tweaks when doesn't seem to work for me. If I even open the hide and reorder the systemui crashes till a factory reset.


This Rom doesn't use or include any leedroid tweaks even more so the leedroid app. It may be something left over in the Rom from not wiping the System Partition

Edit: From the OP
Installation Instructions:

1 Backup/Nandroid
2 Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
3 Wipe all Partitions Except SD Card
4 Install Mobster Remix
4.5 Flash Sprint Patch if your a Sprint User
5 Reboot
6 Enjoy

I'm pretty sure you missed step 3 Wipe and Re-Flash the Rom and Everything should work amazingly

Any idea on the Handcent sms not working bug? Been using it on stockish rom and it's pretty cool


No sure why? There's nothing that should make it stop working.

will there be a deodexed version of the remix rom?


De-Odexing Actually lowers performance...... So nooo....... De-Odex'ing is for modifying Apks and Jars it offers no Real other advantages. If your really determined though an Android Kitchen should get the job done

One thing I've noticed about all your Roms Mobz, is this weird memory stealing on the sd card issue. If I'm on Snapchat and I go to save one of my doodles it takes forever and a day to save and after it does, most of the memory on my sd card is gone. If I'm Skyping with my buddy in Germany and I go to send him a file in regards to our music the phone slows down and takes up a lot of memory on my sd card. If I go to upload some pics on Google+ it takes forever for the thumbnail to even display and then I have to wait in order to hit send and afterwards I notice a lot of memory gone in my phone. It's a weird issue which makes multitasking simple things hard to do. Any idea what it could be? I have a class 10 64GB micro sd card in my phone.

I'm not having any issues on my end. It might be your memory card? To test that use this app

And for a comparison this is my score with a Basic 2GB SD Card

Aye, I was tremendously enjoying this ROM (was rocking the build prior to the 7/03). However, up until a couple days ago, some of my texts started taking longer to send, sometimes as long as a minute or two.

I upgraded to the 7/03 today, wiped everything (all partitions except for sd card), installed the new update, and then applied the Sprint fix. You said it's for "Sprint users", but I just want to clarify, you meant Virgin Mobile user with a sprint branded phone, no?

I do have a Sprint branded phone, but never bothered to try the fix until today. So now, all that said, my bars are inconsistent, and the 3G is incredibly slow, to the point of being non-existent.

Is there anything I can try? Or do I chalk this up to a faulty tower in my area.

Only use the Sprint fix if you have Sprint service. The Sprint branded phone has nothing to do with the service it's just a cosmetic thing. That's why you're having issues.

I did a full wipe and installed the 7/03 by itself, but the poor coverage persisted.

So I did a restore to my previous state (taken prior to installing anything the 7/03 update), but I'm still getting pretty terrible coverage with the 3G.

I guess I'm out of options, huh?

Not quite yet, we have one last trick on our sleeve. But it probably won't work in this day and age.

If you can find the radio thread (what happened to that awesome thread? :p), look for the radio that ends in .530. When you download it rename it to PG85IMG, or whatever it was called (lol I haven't had this phone since forever), place on sd card's root (aka not in a folder, just in the sd) , and flash it in the bootloader.

You can experiment all the radios I would try the one ending in .530 and .808. Also try the latest one from the most recent OTA.

I forgot where the thread was I don't have a link sorry but there is definitely one on the evo 3d cdma forums on xda. You can look for it there, I would give a link but I don't have my computer with me right now.

If radios don't work then I'm afraid Virgin Mobile service sucks in your area. :eek:

Thanks. I did have to change my radio when I first rooted my phone and switched to Harmonia. Otherwise I couldn't text at all.

I will keep an eye on the coverage over the next couple days and see if it needs to come to that. It seems to be working a bit better tonight.

Hey guys I remember in Mobster's V4 HD or something the phone keypad was Holo themed or whatever that blue/black theme is called. I hate the HTC stock phone keys and look in general. So anyone had that file that we must flash to get it to look like that?

Also on this phone, wifi tethering hasnt been possible. Only on my Moto triumph did that ever work when I used it with custom Rom. Any ideas why? Thank you all and thank you Mobster for the support. Will update later this week!

I just held the Search button to Voice Search and to my surprise the woman voice from Google Now actually answered me! To me this is pretty surprising since this Rom is ICS and doesn't have Google Now.....

Try it out yourself I asked "What's the weather for tomorrow"

Edit: Seems all the Questions you can ask "Google Now Search" also gets answered! And fairly quick too

Hey Mobz I get this weird issue I go to my gallery and it sometimes says no photos or videos found. I then have to reboot in order to access my gallery. I can't screenshot the issue cause it says "Can't save screenshot. Storage may be in use". Any idea what that could be? I'm only playing music and it never used to do that on your other Roms.
