Hey guys
This actually my first Q/A post and believe me, I've tried everything to find the right answer....I hope that you guys can push me in the right direction
Ok, here is whit what I'm struggling:
I've used the Zaiben rom, and it's really good - but some apps, like Chrome isn't really responsive like it is on CM10.1, so I swtiched to the official CM10.1.3
Everything is working fast and responsive like it should even Chrome.
But here is the thing, on Zaiben rom the button backlight of our phisical buttons would go ON only if I touched the buttons, so for an example: when I play a game, browse some websites or anything else, if I'm not touching the buttons they wont go on - and I loved it I'm not sure if it's kernel related or something else, but I really enjoyed it
Well, now I'm not CM10.1.3 and I was wondering if it's possible to have that same feature on it too ??
Does anyone know how to do it ??
I even flashed iodak v7 kernel and it's still the same...
Thanks for any help what-so-ever
Its rom feature. Requires lg framework to work like on stock, so noone has bothered to make it work on custom roms

I loved the gesture that lets you move your cursor in a text field by tapping the side of a phone. I tried it yesterday and it worked just fine. However, I tried it today and it's not working. I tried some other gestures too, and none of them seem to work, despite being enabled in the settings.
Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution? My phone is rooted and I have disabled a couple of apps (Carhome, F-secure and Lg launcher). First I thought it might be because of this, but enabling the Lg launcher didn't fix the problem.
Same problem here. Not rooted and totally stock.
How did you root it cause is impossibile for me??i have firm 2.2.2

I just followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182 It was super easy, though I had to reboot after rooting. I have 2.2.2 too. If you have problems, maybe you should ask help in that thread if you didn't already.
ale, see magfal's thread here. Seriously, this phone isn't cheap- let LG know what's wrong with it. Hopefully, the incoming update will clear this "gestures" issue!
There's nothing wrong with the gestures, they just don't work with anything other than stock keyboard, stock videoplayer etc.. I just don't get why they would tie it to stock apps when they could have done it properly so it would work with any app. E.g. tapping the side would issue "arrow"/"trackball" left/right/up/down, double-tap would issue next track/previous track and so on. Cool feature though.

That's my experience too... I thought they were broken but no, it seems they oly send controls to stock apps... :-/
I may be wrong but that's what I recall...

You're right. I switched back to stock keyboard and it worked just fine. Too bad it only has one keyboard layout and is therefore pretty much useless to me. Typing with the English qwerty is way too slow when there's no buttons for all the letters I need.
Hello, can anyone tell me, which is the most stable ROM for my X8, and can i have a link for it? Im already using FroyoBread 2.2.9, but it keeps restarting alot, like when going on skype, receiving calls, etc... Oh and which launcher app (that stuff like app drawer and main screen.) is the best?
You could use the search function as there were like 2 topics about this here already. There's no such thing as best ROM tbh. If you're looking for a stable ROM, go for

Ok let me explain one thing first,, There is atleast 10 more threads asking the same question
Bottom Line is there no best rom, roms are getting changed, updated, and downgraded everyday,, you have to find you own best combo,
FOR example my best combo is At the moment Gingerdx+Alfs+Jimdemtweaks+my own tweaks,, where some other people prefer Minicm7+Naa (which is also great) , also the atifroyo+ Alfs isnt a bad combo either,, you just gotta experiment roms and find it out on ur own
And This Might Help

Cool! Any calendar fix yet? Thanks!
Loving this ROM. Fast and smooth.
Can't buy apps from the market though- it just returns the generic error. Is there a fix for that?

Strangest thing.... Was on CNA, decided to try ICSSGS, didn't like it as well so flashed back and calendar was there. I assume because I did not wipe on the flash back to CNA?
FWIW, I have tried this, ICSSGS, and CM9. CNA is my favorite. I have had almost no issues. 1 app won't run, but it is from my small, local bank.

That issue is fixed on ICSSGS and maybe others, I'm not certain if it involves some adjustments ROM-side, or it should be fixed by using latest gapps. I previously encountered the issue but haven't seen it in quite some time.
The alternative would be buying them in the browser/pc.
How To Print Screen
Anyone know how I would perform a print screen?
Nevermind, found the answer (Volume Down + Power Button)
Hi guys,
I'm interested in trying this ROM out.
I'm coming from Serendipity VII, which if I understand correctly is I9000 based. Just to make sure I understand what I'm doing, I should just be able to reboot to recovery, and install the CNA ROM from the zip file, correct? Any other steps necessary?
Thanks

I got it installed (with the Glitch kernel - running at 1.4Ghz so far), and I'm very impressed
The only issue I haven't yet been able to figure out is the external SD card. It seems that it now gets mounted under /mnt/emmc/ ? For whatever reason, the music player can't find the media that I have on the external SD card. Any ideas? I can find it using ES File Explorer and play the files individually.
Privacy
There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.
Thanks in advance.
I was one if the unlucky ones that had no 3g data after flashing this rom, flashed glitch, moved apn-conf.XML to the /system/etc/ directory overwriting the old file.
This did not bring data back. I decided to look at the apn list and noticed that it was blank. Clicked the menu button, then selected reset to defaults. Ten minutes later I had data.
Lock Screen
Has the lock screen been updated to allow for custom applications where it shows the icon of the custom application instead of that alien looking character? This was one of the reasons I moved away from this ROM and would love to come back. I'm not a fan of having to try to remember which application ties to which alien character.

Not yet. It still shows the animated android.
Nostalgia shows the custom icons on the ICS lock screen. (haven't flashed any other ICS roms yet.)
Update 3/24:
All aosp roms do not show custom icons.
All aokp based roms do show custom icons.
aosp also seems a little laggier than aokp. Playing angry birds space @ 1.3 ghz resulted in click and audio lag. (Gummy charged was my aosp test platform at that time).
Docs runs blazing fast at same speed with no click lag. Aokp m28 clocked at 800 MHz / glitch runs smooth. I think this is because of the scrolling cache which I force disabled in from control.
Thanks for your work bringing ics to captivate.
Any way to disable the proximity sensor in this rom? The thing is the cappy i purchased came with that sensor dead.. This makes the phone freeze while making calls for example.. I'm using right now MIUI 2.3.2 Gingerbread 2.3.7 and I can disable it with almost no effort at all..
Thanks in advance
P.S. Check it out the attachment

Have you tried just disabling the rotation power toggle?

Sorry but I don't really see how the rotation would be related to the proximity sensor functionalities. I could try that, but I would be more than grateful if you could explain me a little further the relationship between those two.. Anyways I have to download the rom, nandroid backup, and flash everything to test it out.
Thanks for the reply

you are correct, the proximity sensor does not control rotation. a bit a of a flub on my part sorry.
here are some things I tried with my AOKP rom (don't think the AOSP - CNA is too much different?)
1) There is no setting in the call menu for the proximity sensor.
2) However if you cover your sensor (which is broken anyways right?) a dab of black nail polish, to block all the light from it. I covered my sensor with my thumb and the screen stayed on. However if the problem is deeper within your hardware (possibly the control IC for the sensor), it will still lock up when it tries to access the current state of the sensor.
3) It's possible from what I've found that your sensor is okay, and that there is an internal blockage to the sensor cover. (though, my phone didn't lock up with the sensor covered?). Try canned air/ Vacuum to clear the blockage?
4) There are a several application options as none of the ICS roms I've used appear to have that MIUI option.

After playing with the Xperia S a few days ago I want to sort my phone out finally (hasn't been properly setup in ages).
At the moment I'm running "DarkyRom JVQ V10.2" with kernal "2.6 35.7 #DarkCore_2.9.2_JVQ".
My battery life is fine (needs to be recalibrated though) but it's still a bit laggy, no idea if I have lagfixes.
I would like ICS if it'll enable it to be snappy/quick but not really bothered as I don't believe there's any major thing in there for me over gingerbread. The other thing is I'd like to always have the buttons in the notification bar if possible (stuff like GPS/Wifi/auto rotate), think I will be using the GO launcher based on playing with a friends. I also like customisation, stuff like notifcation bar icons, colours etc.
Any ideas or pointers to the right place? I don't need a big tutorial just a pointer to the right place would be fine, also a bit stuck with some of the tutorials I've looked at as they all seem to have so many ways and just reference "flash this kernal" without actually showing how/pointing to the right direction.
Thanks.
EDIT: I've done a bit of research and I like the look of AOKP (Kang project). It seems to have the most features and be the most solid ROM. What kernal should I use though?
Aokp with semaphore or devil kernel.

Try slim ICS 2.8
Been on it for the last week coming from Team ICSSGS RC4.2. Loving it, very responsive
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096&page=1
Also if you insist staying on GB try Juwe's rom, haven't been updated or ages though but it ran well for me while I was still on it
I personally prefer using the GamerzRom. Although the name is kinda misleading, it is a good ROM for a daily driver.
Its faster than most ROM's I've played around with. Not too graphic heavy and I use it for my App development testing and for business purposes. All in all, it's fast, responsive and snappy.

hi there,
first i want to thank the developer of nemesis' i had my fears before flashing it, due to RTL that i was after. so great, its works fine.....and it runs good....battery life is good also, i like the themes too. but i have few questions:
1. i seen something about facelock option that was posted in the developer section first post where the rom dl is. what is that facelock? do i need 3rd party app for that or is something that i will find hidden in menu?
2. i'm from Israel and i guess since we do not have v30b or c only the v10e stock, i get a baseband unknown, but the phone seems to work fine, i get pretty good signal, and the call sounds pretty good too. can i do something about that? is there a way to find a closebaseband that would work? or should i leave it be like that ?
3. last thing, i like this rom but how the hack do i get rid off the annoying google search bar in my home screen, i had few launcher that had this option in menu and i had this option in few other rom i had fashed before, but here i cant seem to fine how to remove it.
sry for all those questios hope you guys can help those who know this rom.
best regards
Sol
