Hey, I'm very new to android, all this rooting, custom roms etc. Anyways. I installed this ROM. (FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock). And, I thought that Froyo 2.2.1 has Flash 10.1 by default, but it didn't, so I thought, hmm, I'll get it from market. But, it's not in the market. Could anyone of you help? I found an .apk, but when I installed it, it kept crashing my browser. Also, a question: Is the ROM I have the best one? In terms of speed, compatibility and app support? Or are there better ones?
EDIT: I pretty much need the Flash player only for watching streams - Livestream, UStream, JustinTV, Own3d.tv, ESL TV.

you can't get a stock froyo ROM with 10.1 as far as I know, however, ther chocolatefroyo ROM does have 10.1 running, but it has a camera bug which stops that from working. For now, you will have to choose between camera and flash.

There is no 'best' ROM, but it definitely isnt the stock one... I am running FroydVillain and I love it
The full Flash 10.1 is not possible on the Hero, the nearest you can get is Flash Lite which is only part of Sense ROMs. I'm not sure what its limitations are but you're best to just take a stable Sense ROM and find out, then see if it suits your needs.

My girlfriend just got a nook, and used it for about a week stock. Recentli I flashed phiremod, which she really loves, but wants to go back because she can't read magazines like she could with the stock software.
* So basically I'm looking for a custom ROM that is a rooted and modded version of the original software that can still read magazines.
* I would also like to have it Overclocked, as i noticed a big performance increase going from 800mhz to 1100mhz.
Lastly, I've read that people are working on getting it to work with other roms, (eg CM7 and honeycomb) is this true? What would the ideal rom be that I should be anxiously waiting for? (3.0? with nook features? and videos, bluetooth, and other crap working?)
Sorry for newbish questions, but we just got our nook, so were a little behind. thanks in advance.
Only the stock rom right now can use the special nook included apps. Yes, there has been some work on getting them running on other roms, but there is no guarantee when or if it will happen.
That said, you should be able to overclock the stock rom, and still get the benefit..

Sorry, but again, no there isn't. No rom, short of the one that first came on your nook, has the special nook app. The special app requires specific changes made to the OS by B&N, and so far, nobody has sucessfully made those changes to another OS. So,if you want the magazine, you will have to stick with keeping the stock OS around.
That said, it is very easy to root and overclock, and you don't lose anything, so you dont actually need another rom to get what you want...
I don't really know how to remove TouchWiz, and I don't like it. I know that I can remove its launcher from system/app/, but and the full app?

The most effective way is to flash a TW-free ROM onto the Tab, such as Boca (I think that might be CDMA though, so check up on it first). Beyond that, it would be really tricky to remove completely. For example, all Samsung-based ROMs (excluding CM7, for example) will generally use a twframework-res.apk in addition to the usual framework files to control the Android UI, so just deleting those files would cause problems.
Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, the best option is to simply find a TW-free ROM and flash that instead.
I use a custom rooted ROM, Humberos, it's a good, very stable ROM, but still has TW. I have a GT P1000L, not CDMA, but latin version with TV. I can't use CM7 because it hasn't TV support. I've heard that I can't connect Wii Controller (my main problem) because I have TW, and CM7 makes it connect.
Thanks, but I will wait for a latin ROM without TW (Gingerbread or ICS), hoping someone creates this.

Hello all,
I've purchased this tablet last Saturday. I have read a couple of threads on this forum and now I've got a couple of questions. Note that I am an absolute noob on rooting and roms.
1. What are the benefits of rooting the device?
2. If I would root the tablet, is it still possible to receive the software updates from Samsung? (i.e. when ICS is finally rolled out officially).
3. What ROM would you guys recommend? A version of ICS or the Overcome version?
4. Is it easy to get back to the Stock version?
I hope you guys can help me!
Thanks in advance!

I have rooted my Tab for one reason and one reason only.... I wanted to use What'sapp on it and for that it needed to be rooted. If you are rooted you can remove system apps. I have always ran custom roms on my phones but have held off changing the rom of my Tab, but only cuz I don't wanna have to sort out all my apps etc out. You will still get updates from Samsung whilst being rooted.
1. What are the benefits of rooting the device?
To numerous to list, not the least of which is the list of apps I run that require root and the flexibility to make customizations otherwise not possible.
2. If I would root the tablet, is it still possible to receive the software updates from Samsung? (i.e. when ICS is finally rolled out officially).
Yes.
3. What ROM would you guys recommend? A version of ICS or the Overcome version?
Galaxian Soup or CM9, both of which are ICS.
4. Is it easy to get back to the Stock version?
Yes, if you also install Clockworkmod Recovery and do a nandroid backup. But chances are you won't want to. It becomes an entirely new device under ICS. (But backup your stock ROM anyway.)

Thanks for the info! I've rooted the device and installed Clockworkmod recovery. Now I plan on installing ICS tonight (battery was almost empty so I figured I should charge it first before putting on a different ROM)
What are the differences between the Galaxian Soup and CM9? Also is it recommended to install the google apps zip?
Thanks again!
Be aware that the camera does not work on the ICS roms, so if you are going to need the camera then it would be stock rom or Overcome.

i never use gapps. flash it if you use gmail or gtalk or maps or any other google stuff.
i also recommend you to install the latest aokp (b33, which doesn't have a galaxian soup version yet, but you can find the link in the gs thread).
i have cm9 now but it has wifi and Bluetooth issues for me (and some other users). i'm just waiting for galaxian soup to release a 3g version. but you have gt7310 so you're good to go.

Galaxian Soup has two versions for both 7300 & 7310, both updated regularly. The AOSP version is as close to Google's implementation of ICS possible. The AOKP version offers a lot more control of the ROM and has some nice additional features. Safariking has posted his own version of AOKP (7310 only) and I've never used it because I have a 7300.
CM9 is Cyanogenmod's implementation of ICS. It's a lot like stock ICS but has different standard apps with a slightly different feel and a few different controls.
I've tried all three and prefer AOSP over AOKP (probably in the minority here), though I might switch to CM9 for a while just to stay familiar with it.
Yes, you probably will need Google apps and there really isn't a great reason not to have them onboard.
Thanks for the info!
I've just installed the AOSP version with the google apps and it works great! The tab is a lot faster like this!
The only "problem" I have is that the screen goes on and off when I go from landscape to portrait, is that normal?

AFAIK, this has been an issue for Galaxian Soup AOSP since alpha. After months of bouncing between AOSP ICS, and stock, I've finally had enough of touchwiz to last a lifetime. I will be rocking AOSP ICS for a while... I can wait for the Sammy ICS update to resolve all the minor bugs for the ICS roms. When I ran the Alpha ICS rom, I was shocked at the stability and performance of an alpha, and its only gotten better since. Hats off to the Galaxian Soup devs
Hello,
I downloaded and successfully flashed a CM9_ICS_HWA rom for my HTC HD2.
Amazing rom, with dorimanx kernel OC limit 1,6 GHz.
Whatever,
Problem is, the camera, the " take a shot button " is invisible, im sure that camera apk is buggy,
Any one know a good camera, just a camera without bugs thats all..
Thanks

In terms of cameras, just search for one on the Play store. There should be thousands. However, can you please link to the ROM you used? AFAIK none of the current ICS ROMs have this issue, so you might have an outdated ROM. I also don't know whether Dorimanx ever released a full HWA kernel compatible with ICS, so please check that you've got the right one installed.
Heres the link

Yep, that's a very old beta ROM. Upgrade to a newer ROM and you'll find that everything works smoothly.

Well, i thought i found the perfect one, lol, thanks for the information,
And which ICS Rom do you suggesst? Ive tried nexusHD i didnt like it because its internal storage was very low, i think its just on my phone so,
Is nexusHD2 the best ICS for HD2 out there?
i think i will have to look out for some new roms..
I personally use NexusHD2, but I'm going to change soon to a JB ROM (hopefully). For internal storage you can just flash an A2SD script or install Link2SD. However, I would encourage you to try ROMs yourself and find the best one for you. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another person.
JB Rom
Im flashing a JB Rom, PacMan HD2 by Xylograph, will give you a feedback...

Amazing rom, Aroma installer, i can choose if u want odex or another ( i forgot ) ive choosen,
It was written that the boot will take a while, and it will reboot 1 time automaticly, the boot time wasnt that long, i expected a longer time, and it did reboot 1 time,
I think that rom is leading the JB roms out for mHD2 yet....
It's been asked for before in other places but I figure I should ask here. If it's the wrong place please move this. I would like the Cellbroadcast Service to be able to be installed on a ROM. They have it for Nexus here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164711 and someone tried to do it for Atrix 4G and seems like it failed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946265 I'd really like this without having to use Kyler's Froyo.

I've Tried Nottactrix (I know I mispelled), MROM, CM 10.1, NOWBLAST, CM9, as well as almost all others. I've tried flashing the Cellbroadcast.apk and even dis-assembled the froyo rom that has it as an option but neither work. Point of interest, Kyler's Froyo Rom lacks the Cellbroadcastreceiver.apk so I don't know what I'd have to rip for it to work/

I use Nottach as my perma install. It's what I prefer, but I would like to have the Cellbroadcast option installed. I visit some areas where I need to know about tornados, shootings, hurricanes and the like. Plus it would be nice to have just in case.

ok, so with that said, you are looking for a CellBroadcastReciever.apk that is designed for GB (2.3-2.3.7), not for Froyo, ICS, JB, or KK (even if KK isn't available for our device just yet)

Yes one that works on the Atrix 4G because the Nexus ones are for a GB device if I am reading correctly. I've tried just flashing those (Stupid I know) and no result. I've tried swip-swapping some stuff around and Iv'e come to the conclusion I cannot do this myself with just the froyo rom, the apks and nottach to mess with.
Both of those versions (this one and this one) work on JB and above only (one is for 4.1, the other is for 4.2).
As you noticed yourself, Kyler's stock Froyo does not contain it, and I was unable to find a version that works on Froyo. Where did you find one for Froyo?

One of his links takes you to a thread with a few posts. The last post has a download link.
I get that we have a froyo version based off of his searching, and that we do have JB versions based off of experience with epinter's ROMs. I don't know about GB or ICS versions, but he's definitely looking for the GB version.

It was in Kyler's Froyo settings, The APK is not there but the item is in the settings and fully customizable.
Well I'm trying out CM 10.2 right now but having a flashable version could work well if I switch back.
I examined Kyler's Froyo. Sadly it seems this functionality has been hardcoded into Settings.apk and BlurPhone.apk.
Ahhh, it seemed like that when I tore it apart.
I just examined the latest AT&T firmware (2.3.6) and I found the same thing therein. That means the same functionality should exist in the latest official GB as well?
I can't test this myself, I'm running a custom ROM and I don't really want to reflash now, plus to my knowledge none of the networks here offer cell broadcast.
I know florida has it, Due to ya know, all the high emergency weather and dangerous child kidnappers
