Ok I'm on google ion and I'm thinking about going back to Haykuro's 5.0.2Hr5 I'm just wondering if all my apps will work on it? I ask because I "believe" that he made it before cupcake so I'm wondering if my cupcake apps will work on it? I'm trying to find a stable HTC rom I don't want cygans or however you spell his name cause it overclocks it I need battery life and when I had 5.0.2Hr5 iit was perfect anybody know of any if this won't work?
It is a "Cupcake" build, and they will indeed work. If not, all apps will update and will be able to run on Cupcake and will work fine . With Cyan's, you can use the program SetCPU and put it back to stock values for battery life.
Thansk so much I don't know much about overclocking but since 5.0 is cupcake ill learn more about it and download the app to speed it up. You wouldn't happen to know if that had a pdf reader? Well if not ill find out in the next 5 mins I'm about to flash back now.
You're flashing Cyan's ROM, correct? It does have PDF reader. SetCPU is free in the Applications forum.
Is MIUI is worth installing and using it as main OS for the N1?
For day to day use, is it reliable?
It looks very nice and I'm tempted...
I've been using Geo's rom for a while and it's been stable.
Miuis rom is very stable for everyday use. Install Rods version its alot better than the stock version in my opinion
MIUI is the best ROM ever! Specially the new version... Be sure to try it.
I like it but i still prefer CM!
I just wish some of the features in that ROM would go into CM I'd help do that but i'm not a dev
So I should go with Rodz version? But he's using .5 and the lates is .12, as far as i know. Is it easy to update the MIUI rom within the rom or do i have wipe and reflash everything from recovery?
As with most Roms, wipe and flash. Used Rod's MIUI for awhile, was very happy with its speed and stability. Still always tempted to go back.
I use Rod's MIUImod with ADW.Launcher. It's brilliant.
Few days ago have flashed miui...
its the best nexus custom rom i ever seen!
I tried Rod MUIU and it is nice and quick, there a few things I personally didn't like which is why I'm back at MicroMods 2.10 Sense.
remember if you don't like the launcher you can always use LauncherPro or ADW
Yea I use the stock miui detox with launcher pro plus and Rom I used. I don't care for the stock launcher to many apps on the screen I'm to lazy to put them in order lol.
Yea I switched from MIUI to the latest CM rom. MIUI is ok but a few things kept me away.
The Lockscreen is cool but you can't change the background unless you use the stock iphone launcher
I don't care the the "iphone" launcher
The drop down menu has data tools, which is awesome, but CM has them at the top and has the ability to put only the ones you want on there. The MIUI puts them at the bottom, so I constantly kept activating them while managing the menu.
The new phone and messaging app are odd. While I liked the ability to SMS multiple recipients, it would tend to not display all of my contacts and I would have to manually select them from my Contacts list.
The Contacts list would not sync with Facebook automatically. You have to a manual sync from a "Facebook Sync" app. My gf actually started a fight over why her contact didn't have a profile picture on it (she thought I was "hiding" her).
Meh. Rod's version is the way to go if you want MIUI. But really once you put Launcher Pro on top of any rom, it behaves the same. I just like the on-the-fly theming options and drop down menu data toggles of CM's latest.

Lel, nope. You can change the lockscreen's wallpaper regardless of your launcher.
I'd say it's worth it. Obviously CM6 has some advantages over it, just as it has some over CM6. It depends on your needs. For me, the smoothness and more importantly battery life--along with the slick lockscreen--are enough to keep me using it as my day-to-day ROM. Stable, fast, works.
Not saying it's the right ROM for everyone, but it does have a lot to offer.

1. You CAN change the Lockscreen background while using launcher pro.
(charging animation is sweet on lockscreen)
2. The drop down menu data tools, some actually rearrange based on how much you use them, so the most used functions show up in the visible area and then you can just slide to use the others.
3. It has built in screen capture feature using menu and volume down at the same time.
4. It gets updated every week with new features and fixes.
5. It has built in apps2ext, if you have ext partition.
6. It has built in CPU control toggle for battery saving when needed.
I used Miui for a long time. I went from the first release on up to 11.05. (Stock, never used Rod's)
After all the uses I have to say it is a fairly stable and unique version of android,
I give props to the Miui team and dj and mobius and the bunch.
But, in the end it came down to 'function over form' for me.
Basically there is no rom that has as many features as CM.
And with a few tweaks you can make CM visually identical to stock.
The look of stock is important to me.

You have to make sure your contact is set as a mobile number. Facebook sync works now.

Hello,
I have been using CM for the last months, and now that the stock froyo rom is here with sense, I was decided to give it a try.
One of the things I have gotten used to in CM is the power control widget with 2G/3G options. I feel like I cant live without that right now, so I am trying to get it back. Has someone being able to do this?
I donwloaded the mod from here, and flash it using rom manager:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/3625-new-power-control-widget-with-one-click-2g3g-toggling/
But no luck, after restarting androud would freeze up after 5 seconds.
Any help? Thank youi!

I'm thinkin the same thing. Guess they have to sort out a new and updated app.
It isn't just that simple... guys at CM modified phone and settings apk for this to work... you can't just replace those two files here in stock FroYo! There are many dependencies. Besides you would at least have to deodex stock ROM but that's just the beginning...
I suspect it needs APIs only present in cyanogenmod. But, perhaps if the API for toggling 3G is discovered (it must be there as there's a HTC widget for this), one could modify the default power control widget.
You mean API call? I doubt that stock HTC ROM has that. Does AOSP have it? From the original author in CM thread you can see that he was waiting for Google to implement that call but they weren't so he modified settings.apk and phone.apk to allow that call...

The HTC ROM must have it (or something similar), since it has a widget for 3G enable/disable. Whether it's accesible or hidden is a different question. And AOSP doesn't have it, obviously.

The call might have the same name, but it calls different aspects of setting. Only that way the same software would produce two different results using the same action on two different ROMs (namely CM and stock HTC). This sounds logical.
Google "switchpro" it is just like the CM froyo power widget but more customizable.
And then what?
We know those widgets but we are talking here that they don't produce the same result on different ROMs... namely CM and stock HTC's.

Where is that widget? does it really switch from 3G to 2G in one click?

I tried it, but when you clicked on the 2G/3G switch icon it takes you the settings, it does not switch in one click, not as good as CM power control widget
Hey All,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm tired of the version 2.1 stock ROM for the Sprint Hero. Even when its rooted and I clean out all the bloatware its still sluggish, buggy, and it has lately been aggravating me to no end. I want a nice lightweight ROM that has everything working (radio, wifi, data, etc.) but I don't want the HTC Sense UI if possible. Also, if it could have built in wifi tether (because all the apps I've used on the stock ROM tend to lock up or reboot the device) that would be great. Also, Apps2SD would also be nice but not a requirement.
Can someone recommend a good one?
Thanks in advance!

you are posting in the way wrong section this would have been better suited in general or Q&A
but my recommendation for you would be CM7 the official release for the HeroC, its stock android with some flavor. good battery life, apps2sd supported via built in manager (added in 2.2). built in tethering in the device settings menu (AOSP 2.3 feature) and last but not least it's AOSP based so SenseUI is nowhere to be found
I have tried all and in my mind the fastest has been hero deck. I even turned down my MHz to 691 when I use to have it at 768.

Deck's rom is fast....No doubt, but.....if you're looking for a blend of speed and stability I'd listen to ThoughtlessKyle and go with CM7. That is what I put back on my Hero for my son to use.

I'll definitely look into both ROMs. Thanks for the help!
My stock rom ran into issues the other day. Force close loop on senseui or something. Basically required a factory reset so while I was at it I decided to put a new rom on. I went with CM7. Had done a bunch of reading in the past and everyone was using CM6 then. Its nice. The one thing I didnt like is the voicemail. Getting it setup to download my voicemails to the phone was kinda a pain and the annoying texts from 9016 get old quick. Not sure why there is no solution for this. And running a separate program to block messages from 9016 isnt really a solution in my opinion.
I hear that deck rom has voicemail working with no additional installation/config necessary and none of the 9016 text messages so I plan to give it a try.
Hi. After trying Honeystreak 2.0, I fell in love with the 120 screen density. However, I know since some people may not want to upgrade to Honeystreak for some reason or another, or just like Froyo more than Honeycomb, I am working on modding the stock 2.2 ROM to use a lower screen density, giving it more of a tablet feel.
So, I've already lowered the screen density to 120 (I can use 130 or 140 if people prefer) and I am trying a few different launchers (I saw a stock Froyo launcher in an Evo 4G thread, it if looks good, I might use that, to get more of a stock Android experience) because Dell Stage does not look good if you change the density. I might to a couple build.prop edits, to make it feel smoother, and I plan on removing or adding apps (it's already root, so Superuser and Root Explorer will be included.)
If anyone has any requests for apps to add or remove, any advice that might help, or anything else useful, please feel free to tell me.
Also, since this uses the 2.2 kernel, this should be flashable through CWM, which is the main reason I am making it. Basically, it'll be stock Froyo, on the stock kernel, designed to feel more like a tablet.
Since this is more of a discussion than a ROM release, being that it's not out yet, if this would be better in general, mods can feel free to move it
EDIT: So, here are the changes from stock Froyo: Dell Stage has been replaced with Launcher Pro (set to display a 6x6 icon grid), it's pre-rooted and comes with Super User and Root Explorer, the build.prop has been edited for a 130 screen density, less frequent scanning for a wifi network (to save battery), and smoother scrolling and scaling. I want to find a user agent that enables all market apps, and remove some bloatware.
Love launcher pro, if you could theme it like ginger bread that would be awesome too.

I don't think the free verison of LauncherPro is themable, but I can probably install a Gingerbread themed launcher as an alternative.
More a kernel than a ROM thing, but I want tun.ko, and I know some others want CIFS.. I'm really missing using OpenVPN on my DS7, as it's the only way I can sync my Google account at work on wifi without tethering to my phone.
Why go back to froyo? rooted gingerbread with cwm density 120 would be nice.....

lol. It's Froyo because, unlike DJ_Steve, I am not awesome enough to port anything else. Modding the OS it comes with is alot easier than making a new one
Anyways, I am basically using Build.prop and adding/removing APK's to make it feel more like a tablet. Then, I'm going to create a zip using CWM or something.
I would like it to be fast and swift with no bloat wear and also support for swapper 2

Send dj steve some dr dre beats headset funds and im sure he will let you use his gingerbread and then you can mod it with cwm and change density and maybe add overclocking lol
Try Zeam Launcher. It's pretty simple, but free and you can customise the rows/columns and such to make it more tablet-like.
I'd like to see overclock, black notification bar, and improved battery life. If there's anything that can be done to make Cell Standby not such a hog (way more battery goes to this over my Galaxy Tab), that would be awesome.
Well, as far as improved battery life, for the WiFi version, the cell apk's will be disabled by default, and I did a build.prop edit that scans for open wifi networks less frequesntly, so if WiFi is on but not connected, you drain less battery scanning. I've tried changing the Browser user-agent in build.prop, but when I went to whatismyuseragent or whatever that site is, even though it said I was using Mozilla 5, it still knew it was Android, so I'm looking for a way to better spoof a PC, so mobile sites aren't viewed by default. As far as editing cell standby or overclocking, I might get DJ_Steves Streakdroid 1.3 build, and then apply my changes to that, so you get the overclocking kernel, but that would mean taking away Bluetooth. Also, I'm still trying to figure out how to rip the ROM with clockwork - if I just make a backup, it checks the MD5, so it won't work for someone else.

Lol. 2 problems. First, if he had a Gingerbread ROM, I think he would've released it. Second, if I had a pair of Beats, I'm keeping those 300 dollar headphones for myself
things to add
A couple of major things to have would be :
1) a modified wpa supplicant file to allow tethering to adhoc (pm me if u need it)
2) any basic file explorer
3) a working overclock
4) vtl launcher - xda flavor
Just a few for thought

Ugh. Don't insult our only dev by mentioning insanely overpriced, terrible headphones.
There are several features that I am used to on CM7 that I miss daily on my tablet. Primarily, the notification power widget and the ability to swipe to clear notifications. Also, being able to select the rotation angles available would be handy.
Would be nice but might be a bit much: Automatic backlight level adjustments and lockscreen tweaks.

Oh god yes, I am going crazy without it! How do you get rid of a single notification if you dont want to open the app? For example, when downloading updates from the market. I love the ability to swipe swipe swipe, open, swipe. I have never once accidentally dismissed something I didnt want to, so I dont see how it could be even remotely annoying.
For me it seems like the most intuitive solution.

Options: the beauty of Android. I second the swipe to clear a single notification idea.
I wish I could do that. I'm basically just using APK's and build.prop tweaks to get it how I want it. I don't know enough about programming for Android to do anything interesting :-/
Basically, as of now (and untill I figure out how to rip the ROM for public upload) it's a lower screen density, some build.prop tweaks for smoother scrolling and better battery life, running on rooted Froyo. It's pretty basic :-/
