Anybody have any info on how users running cm testX (ones that have ADW as default launcher now) can update ADW launcher if the dev releases an update and CM does not? To make this a bit easier to understand can I install ADW from the market and stay current that way or will I have to wait for CM to release another .1 update or something of the likes? Im just really OCD about having the latest on my phone because usually there are added features or bug fixes, hence running cm test5 right now.

I don't they've worked out the kinks on that front yet. They are working on it though.

After trying the new roms released by Cyanogen, I find that 4.2.5 is his perfect rom with no issues whatsoever. I understand most of the themes that are out is for his newest build, so I'm having trouble finding a good theme for this version here.
Searching "4.2.5" or it's variants won't yield any results. Anyone know any good 4.2.5 theme or better yet a list of them? I'm sure I am not the only one using 4.2.5. Any help would be appreciated.

For flash themes, just check in the threads, most of use keep up the links to older versions.
2nd option, MetaMorph. Unless it was designed for 4.2.11+ it will the the same. in 4.2.11 the music and power widget was updated to the eclair version, so unless the themer left it so it works on either, you'd have the stock widget.
Ok, i've been absent from the forums for some time and have been trying to play catch up... If someone who has been keeping up would just help me get a few things straight it would be awesome.
please just put the number and if its correct or the answer or w.e.
What I think I know:
1. CyanogenMod- Established dev who releases nightly updates (CM6?) to his tweaked build of rooted mostly ASOP 2.2, which recently (thanks to a new kernal?) began working on our CDMA Hero’s.
2. Most 2.2 ROMs are based off of one of the CM6 nightlies, then customized with themes and tweaks
3. “CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010)” is one of these, and has been tweaked minimally, and is considered a stable build as far as CM6 goes
4. “FroYo 2.2 – CM6- Vanilla” is basically same as above, just complied from a differently “nightly”, while “Extremely Blue” and “BlackMod” are the same, just themed
5. The main (only?) NON–CM6 based options for 2.2 are…
a. asopMod v.03m = which is a very ASOP build, includes OC
b. NFX-Hero 2.2.1.update1 = slimed down ASOP, includes OC and JIT option
Questions:
6. If I want the CM6 nightly updates, is there an updater app in any of these ROMS’s, like in Fresh Hero 2.4 (what I’m used to), or do I have to pull an update.zip from somewhere (or something)?
7. Do some phones work with JIT enabled, and others don’t? and if so is there a way to tell without just trying
8. If I'm set on 2.2 should I check out any other ROMs than those I mentioned
9. Is there a standout (stable) kernal right now?
Just want to say:
NFX-Hero 2.2.1 is just the version number. It is still based on HTC Sense 2.1.
There is currently no Sense 2.2 port for the Hero.
As for the stable kernel, I've heard good things about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756774
specifically [email protected] 09/14/2010, people refer to it as "#14 kernel"

Cyan is the almighty grand pubba of AOSP and was one of there first to release roms in the mainer we see them now. He does not do everything and all roms as he has allot of help from other devs, for us its Darch who maintains the Heroc version of cyanogen (sorry if I forgot some of you other devs)
2. Most 2.2 ROMs are based off of one of the CM6 nightlies, then customized with themes and tweaks
All of the roms you see for the heros here that are AOSP based com from darch's and then cyans repo period, nightlies are built roms while we theme built roms roms deving is done from source and can be taken from different time and snap shots so nightly means nothing then.
3. “CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010)” is one of these, and has been tweaked minimally, and is considered a stable build as far as CM6 goes
The stable build of cm6.0 is from the combined deving of cyan, darch and alot of other people to bring the best of wheat works and leave out what doesn't. Nightlies usually are adding what seems to work but is not always guarenteed
4. “FroYo 2.2 – CM6- Vanilla” is basically same as above, just complied from a differently “nightly”, while “Extremely Blue” and “BlackMod” are the same, just themed
Black mod is a theme, extreme blue is a themed rom compiled from cyan/drach's source vinilla is a terms used to describe a stock rom which is what cm6.00 stable and anyhting else that comes from the repo.
5. The main (only?) NON–CM6 based options for 2.2 are…
a. asopMod v.03m = which is a very ASOP build, includes OC
b. NFX-Hero 2.2.1.update1 = slimed down ASOP, includes OC and JIT option
I'll go ape **** on this but asopMod v.03m is from cyan's source ino at first he tried to make it seem like he compiled from AOSP source but the fact is he uses cyans like almost everone else and if you check his thread now he given the props the the cyan team as he should have at first.... NFX-her is a sense based rom from android 2.1
Questions:
6. If I want the CM6 nightly updates, is there an updater app in any of these ROMS’s, like in Fresh Hero 2.4 (what I’m used to), or do I have to pull an update.zip from somewhere (or something)?
Not yet but that would be nice nightlies are not considered stable and there for i dont think theyll be added to an updater like cm updater or fresh updater but when we start seeing more stable builds you'll see the updater used, cm updater is on cm6 right now just nothing to update
7. Do some phones work with JIT enabled, and others don’t? and if so is there a way to tell without just trying
All phones should work with JIT (Just in Time) dalvik compiler, whether they run betters is a different story but I have never had issues
8. If I'm set on 2.2 should I check out any other ROMs than those I mentioned
For sense I like fresh as he seems to be the best sense dev (imo) around here for AOSP you go with the grand master Cyan and his cm6 (for the hero) there are some other devs out there that make roms for other phones but most of them still use Cyan's repo.
9. Is there a standout (stable) kernal right now?
Yes Decadence

if anyones see's an error in what i posted please correct me.
Any froyo rom is going to be based off of CM6. The nightlies are built every night from any changes made that day. They are considered beta, however most will find no issues at all. If you flash CM6 the Jit setting is a quick change and will not screw up the phone. You just go into setting>cyanogenmod setttings>performance settings and check or uncheck jit and reboot. There is a ROM Manager app in CM6, but you have to install clockwork recovery so I am not sure what will show up in the ROMs option or what else it does because I do not want to install clockworks. As mentioned a lot are using #14.

not a lot shows up in the downloads section for rom manager on the hero. there's 4 selections, and none of them include cm6. it's mostly useless in my experience.
hopefully they update the downloads list soon.

Actually i was referring to cm updater which is similar to the fresh updater... when we see more stables from cm6 and up it'll start showing some it that. I personally don't care for rom manager.

rom manager could use some work to make it a bit more useful. i like it for queuing up roms to flash and making things a bit more automated, however i'm not sure it clears the dalvik cache when it does its thing so i generally have to do it myself anyways.
i'll have to check out fresh updater. i have cm updater, installed from the market, does it actually come with cm6 now? i never saw it when i flashed the 9/18 and already had it installed when i clean flashed the latest nightlies.

Well fresh updater is pretty much the same as cm updater but its only for fresh roms. cm updater might not be part of cm6 I can't, it probably isnt. I actually would like it to be as with cm5 and below it also had themes in it. hopefully itll come back when theres more cm6 stables.
Thanks all. Didn't want to jump into 2.2 without knowing what I was getting into. I decided to start with CM6.0.0, and so far its been great. As mush as I love all things Freshh, I'm mad I waited this long. I DO miss the Senses dialer (minus the ungodly lag) and I havent made up my mind on the keyboard, but the overall speediness is killer.
Hell yea froyo/ CM.
Since the official 2.2 froyo has released,im vry confused about whether to get back official froyo or not...can someone give me some suggestion and tell me why is that better..LOL..or can list out the PROs and Cons,it helps a lot..THANK YOU VERY MUCH...LOL..because i did really don't know the advantage of using a ROM..
The official release is the same as the leaked APAC release from 2 months ago. To answer your question: there's no point going back to the official firmware. Better yet: the latest CM7 release has supposedly a newer and better kernel than the kernel officially released yesterday
LOL...really thanks for u advice..actually i dunno wat is kernel..i tot it never chg..but i felt rooted phone are better cause they can overclock and use other special apps..but is there any benefit if switch back official 2.2?
Official Froyo can not record videos with aac audio codec, I realy don't know why!?
Very bad audio in recorded video...
Hey noobs.
Try this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=994061
how many Official 2.2 threads do we need?
As I said before, in Eclair 2.1 we had aac audio encoder by default now in Froyo 2.2 we have amr aoudio encoder by default. "Very nice" new feature, unless we need some digging in system to enable aac. I am very surprised for this new "feature" because we have aac in aosp versions of Froyo by community (thank God for that). Moto, is it posible you are so bad in software business?!
I'm staying with CM7, the only negative thing I experience is a lag in the app drawer

ADW has some problems, try to use LauncherPro, and use root uninstaller to remove ADW later installing LauncherPro.
There is no lag with me It's much more better than ADW, or you can give a try to ADW Ex, I heard it's less laggy

Just decrease overclock frequency to 750mhz and that's it.
You can also disable some animations for performance gain.
Latest CM7 RC3 + zeppelinrox's guide makes an excellent 2.3.3 ROM. So why bother using a 2.2?
Indeed, very interesting guide.
Thanks for the link
I prefer 2.2, because it's official....
I faced with many error in 2.3

Which type of errors???
I've just flashed and it seems good (I haven't tested it accurately yet, it's true) but Froyo was so bad.
Can you give me some info please?
Thank you!

I've a question: in the zeppelinrox's post I can read this:
First, for Milestoners, here is the latest Froyo kernel (It's flashable - thanks again cherrybombaz)
Note: If you are running CM7 RC3, you already have this.
CM7 RC3 is based on Gingerbread, so I think that he is saying CM7 is just optimized with all that tips, tricks and tweaks! Isn't it??
CM7 has the arabic kernel.
It doesn't have the tweaks that I talk about in that thread.
I created a transparent Gingerbread launcher2 for my own use on Pete's GPA Rom and thought others might like it as well. I was inspired by the CM7DarkLauncher by MyPaT and while it worked on Pete's Rom, it lacked the tweaks and quickness of the modified app drawer by Pete. Make a backup before flashing in case a problem arises and let me know if anyone has any problems as this has only been tested with the latest nightly of Pete's Rom 9/29 so it may or may not work with other roms, just flash through recovery and enjoy. I've also included a file which reverts the launcher to the one included in the nightly 9/29 (which I haven't tested but should work).
Again, I want to thank MyPaT for the idea as well as for the update script which I stole (I believe the script removes ADW if you have it so just a heads up, I didn't know how to make my own), and of course Pete for the amazing rom.
Flashing now bbl

I come from a distant world known as the HTC Vision/Desire Z threads, I've been looking for a stock launcher that is modded exactly like this, my question is, will it work on another device?
Hi guys, my O2X is running GB 2.3.7 temasek build 127, with stock kernel.
1) I'm tired of the old launchers (ADW, Go, launcher pro). Is there a version of Apex or similar running smooth for GB?
I tried Holo Launcher, it's pretty much like Apex, but it's still alpha and quite laggy.
2) Has LG officially announced ICS for O2X? When it happens, devs will be able to fix all CM9 bugs, right?
(i'm still on GB because of those CM9/Miui v4 bugs, can't use a high-end phone without video encoding/decoding)
Hugs to everyone.
I think it's ICS only like Trebuchet, Nova Launcher and the new LG UI 3.0.
But you can take a look at this :

Choose the ''Multi-Resolution'' to fit perfectly to your O2x.

1) Actually, APEX has less options than ADW EX (Highly recommended by me. ). There are also a lot of other GB-compatible launchers that you can try for fun. Zeam, Windows 7, Regina, etc.
2) No official specific announcement yet. Most likely, yes.
