Hello everyone !
I just ordered my Galaxy Nexus today. But I want to keep my Galaxy Ace with me, and use it as a mp3 player, like an iPod touch.
I wanted to make a rom free of all the useless stuff like phone, sms/mms, contacts, etc...
Actually what I want is just :
- WiFi
- Music Player
- Play Store
- Web Browser
- Maybe a Video Player
So I thought I just had to open a rom zip, delete phone.apk, contacts.apk, mms.apk and all what I don't need from system/app. But I was wondering if it wouldn't cause force closes, bugs or etc...
My goal is to have a clean, lightweight, fast and not battery-consuming rom.
Oh and, in your opinion, what rom should I use as base ? A stock one ? I want the MIUI launcher with an Apple theme or Espier Launcher anyway so, what rom+kernel combo would be the less battery consuming and more stable ? Stock or CM7-based one ? Which one especially ?
I think I'll underclock too, if it doesn't make my phone sluggish.
I think I'll use MIUI player or RealPlayer. Any other suggestions ?
Do you think I should use Beats Audio, AudioFX, DSPmanager ?
I'd add that this rom is only for personnal purpose but if someone is interested with it I could share it.
Thanks for reading me everybody ! And thanks for your future help.

You have a really great idea in ur mind..go for it..
In my opinion u should use stocklite v7.1 as the base rom (contact its dev though for permission) and it also has battery extender kernel..its already quite optimised and u can progress with it acc. To ur own needs..and i guess beats audio is the best out there for now...in the three options u listed!
Best of luck..
Use miracle v4 as base..
It already hv less says apps..
Then use beats audio..
That wud do..

One thing..
Don't delete Phone and Contacts. People need to be able to call..
but you can set them as inactive so they don't use much RAM...
CM7 can give you many features and stuff.
and stock can have better stability but not really good on visuals.
Maybe base it on CM9 and include srs audio effects. That would be nice.
Use the beats themed MIUI Player
And DONT Add Dsp Manager..
Use Audio FX.
Hope your successful with this rom.

i seem to find stock task manager and memo apks on xda threads for ics. apparently the widget for task manger was removed to use it on ics and some other changes i really don knw about to get taht working on ics.
gamerz rom has been the best rom i found for my phnoe so i reuest burakgon especially to bring stock music player in ics since that one has no match for other music player. though power amp is good too.. plzz add beats audio and stock music player in gamerz rom ics or that is samurai version i think. u kinda gave a lot improvements in gaming and battery life but i really need these. thanx in advance.
sry for my bad english since i have terrible problems in my keyboard.
Today we have a super stable ICS and a nearly stable JB but why in a heck do people still use and cook GB and Froyo ROMS? I've even seen Eclair phones gingerbread is slow and the 3D driver is terrible. I wanted to test and went back to cm7 and played asphalt 6 and it was laggy as heck! It only gave up to 10fps! Not good, plus it shows a wrong radio bar cause when I have one bar and want to call, a message pops up saying I have no signal. So guys can you explain to me why most people still running GB and below?

Because: Samsung camera, music player, messaging app, contacts with slide function, memo etc. I'm still running GB only because I like the Touchwiz apps, and of course I'd upgrade to ICS/JB if they were possible to function..

But they do function! They're better than GB in many ways! Speed and stability and memory management are the key concepts.

maybe some people prefer stock features. Many people say samsung camera takes better photos (driver?), and I myself miss the stock music player even when I've been using ics and jb... and we still don't have any FM radio now

The stock music player is stupid because it doesn't have a filtering feature thus it plays every music file (ringtones, alarms, recordings etc.) And that's annoying.

there are heaps of pretty reliable GB roms, the battery life also seems to be better but probably due to less CPU usage.
Hello! I am not new to the concept of modifying my Galaxy Ace. However, I switched to an HTC 8x. Because xbox music is such a pain to deal with and because Android is still my favorite, I've decided to keep my Ace, even though I won't be using it for anything but browsing and music. I'm looking for a stable ROM that plays media smoothly. I'm not looking for ICS, I really don't care what it looks like. Honestly, it doesn't even need to come with google apps installed. I am running Linux, so I cannot use Odin well enough to actually accomplish anything. Can anyone point me in the direction of a ROM that will work for this? If there is none, are there any programs for creating custom ROMs on Linux?
Stock roms or Custom Stock roms (Stocklite, Mcrage {audio enchancement already has incluided}, StockEvolution...) with audio enchancements (Beats Audio, Megabass and Beats...)

Hi,
I've got a problem with the last few seconds of audio missing at the end of YouTube videos.
I'm using Flash version 11.1.111.43, the last one available for CM7.2. The CM7 is edowar's from a while back, with kernel 2.6.32.9.
The audio is missing during the first playback of the video. But if I then rewind the video and play the last few seconds again, the audio plays as normal.
It happens with all the browsers I've tried, including Dolphin, Opera Mobile, and the stock browser.
Please could someone provide a solution. I'd rather not upgrade to CM10 as I'm happy with the setup on this phone. But I watch YouTube videos a lot, and having to rewind the last few seconds each time is becoming tedious, so if I have to upgrade to CM10, I will. Ideally, I would just like to alter Flash in some way.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Jacko
If anyone is still using edowar's CM7.2, or indeed any CM7.2, please could you check a short YouTube video in your web browser, using a desktop user agent, and let me know if there is audio all the way to end?
This would help me to know whether or not there is something wrong with my setup.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Jacko
Well, at least I've learned that I'm the only one still watching YouTube on CM7.2.
I hope the gains from CM10 have been worth it for those of you who have upgraded, such as it being faster, more stable, and perhaps even that the FM radio and HDMI work.
Personally, I have always doubted that this phone could handle anything heavier than CM7 (which it only just manages to do with selective use of Autorun Manager, or something similar).
Or, I could just be in the wrong forum. But asking either Google or Adobe about a non-supported operating system running on an old, unpopular device, just doesn't seem worthwhile.
Anyway, I'm off now to kill this browser process and clear the various caches, before I crank up Aqua Mail to wade through some spam.
See you all later,
Jacko
Your not the only one using cm7.2 as am also a big fan. Most of us don't come here often, hence the delay in replying.
Well currently am using cm7.2 blackace by gundul which is ultra stable n fast with efficient multitasking capabilities.
It was also ported from edowar I think cos it came with his kernel as default.
You could give it a try, I can guarantee you that that Rom is the best in this forum so far.
Also u could try abens cm7.2 kernel to over come sod. Also CKs new kernel rocks this Rom really well.
Hope you find all these info useful.
Thanks for the reply. Whilst I appreciate it, my question was about YouTube and the Flash plugin cutting off the the last few seconds of audio on CM7, rather than which other CM7 ROMs I could change to.
Are you saying that audio does not stop early at the end of YouTube videos on your CM7 ROM?
If audio plays all the way to the end for you, which version of the Flash plugin are you using? You can find this out at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
Your post on other CM7 ROMs may still be useful if I do have to change my ROM. But I would rather not go to the trouble unless I was sure that it would solve my YouTube audio problem.
Regards,
Jacko
many of my friends love this rom, so I made another improvement :beer:

If anyone else wishes to ignore my original question and instead talk about different CM7 ROMs, then go for it.
But I would rather talk about audio with the Flash plugin and YouTube on CM7, if you don't mind.
Thanks,
Jacko

if your rom have problems..very difficult to fixed . because they have to learn about android rom and not just from the flash player,youtube and other 3rd party apps..
i like master edowar rom... need more times and more peoples to tes rom problems.. you can join in development to improve your rom.

All I wanted was for someone to confirm whether or not the audio plays all the way to the end of YouTube videos in CM7.
Can someone with CM7 please try a YouTube video and tell me if the audio plays all the way to the end, or if it stops a few seconds early?
You don't have to tell me how to fix it, but PLEASE can you just test ONE YouTube video.
Thanks,
Jacko
Okay so here we go!
I wanna show you how can u quickly increase volume of your headphones.
First of all you don't need special downloads, just try with your best music player (i'm using PowerAmp).
Follow this steps:
1. Connect your headphones to your uber Ace I
2. Turn on FM radio. Choice some station, make volume 0.
3. Back to menu without closing radio.
4. Turn on music player (like PowerAmp) and play music.
The radio will switch off when u hit play.
5. Back to menu (still playing music in background).
6. Turn FM radio on again.
7. Feel the difference )
--- If something goes wrong try again switch player / radio on. Working with all roms (not tested on CM).
Known isues:
* sometimes when your music player is in background, volumeup key will increase both radio and player volume. (if player is on screen then is okay).
* you can destroy headphones by using max volume all the time.
* your head may explode
SO USE THIS WITH BRAIN !
Hit THANKS if you like this and leave comment of your experience

try this method few times... switching on radio / player. You should finally find method to do this.
edit:
* try to start with player, then radio, then again player and radio again. FM radio for the second run should turn on only by clicking on icon - nothing more.
* try to kill radio and PowerAmp process before.
+ suggestions:
maybe it depend what kernel u got. I am always using Rafael's one. Ofc it's only my suggestion, nothing more.

If someone watched movie, You can see that i got modified Radio. This one is from sgs3 v5 rom by Sniper Killer. I just copy this to Ex-Trim rom by using file manager with root permissions. Anyway, the trick works also on stock radio too. If not work then i'm sad. If some dev may explain me why and how this working (or why i got this beautifull bug) then i'll thanks alot
Maybe this could be usefull do make some sound boosting app.
Movie is not fake. 100 % real record, nothing added or changed.
I used my old sennheiser headphones for better quality of record sound.

It may work for u mostly because of a audio routing bug in the rom u use i think.
