I'm getting a droid 3 soon but I cant decide whether or not to root it, I already have the roms minimoto1.7 and AOKPbuild 6(4.2) ALL that I want to use this phone for is a bunch of emulators, I had a kindle fire that I rooted from 2.3 to 4.2.2 and ppsspp ran SO much faster. I would also use it for music, And I've never used 2.3, only 2.2, 4.0.1, 4.1, and 4.2, specifically I'd be playing cave story and Persona 3 portable.

Runs fine on stock rom. 2.1
It runs great on the leaked Foyo ROM as well. Can you check to make sure it is on your internal SD? I tried to run the files from my external SD, and went into boot cycles. Hope that helps.
Works great for me on Cognition 2.3b7 I have the bought version and the early version that was leaked a couple of weeks ago, 1.0.4 and they both run without an issue.
Im running darky V6 with setirons kernel, and it just hits the splash screen, the music plays, one out of every 5 times I can get to car select and it crashes. I dont get a FC message or anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling also, and restarting the phone. The data it downloads is on my internal sd and everything. I have no idea what the issue is.
I'm with stock XXJPY and this crap is closing... I think we just were stoled...

How odd... I wonder what the issue is. I mean it starts up, then just exits. Hmmm....
same here
same issues here with 2.2.1 based roms. i could play once running Cronus.
Grab somewhere APK from Galaxy Tab - it's working for me perfectly
Beware: 120mb size...
Im wondering if it has something to do with the market. As in, because we are using the different baseband version, the market is trying to give us the copy made for snapdragon chips.
I guess to confirm this, what version of nfs shift do you all have? I think in my many wasted google searches I saw different versions for the phones that use the snapdragon chips.
It's not a market issue... It's a NFS game issue - version 1.0.56 worked, but .58 not
So I dont know if anyone was able to fix this, but I did find a version for the tab and its working great now. I can't share it on here, because I know its warez or whatever it's called, but mine works great now. I will add that I paid for the game, just had to find a copy that actually worked.
mine works fine and im running firebird 2.2 no problems whatso ever
I bought it during the sale and haven't ever gotten to play it either. I put a support request into EA, but 2 weeks later, I got a canned response (what's you phone, OS version, etc.... info that as already provided). I'm disappointed, since this was my first and so far only market purchase... I can confirm that it bombs on Xcal's and speedmod kernels, does anyone have it working with a newish rom (2.2.1)? If so, what kernel and game build are you running??
Mine works fine on phoenix, never have had a fc on this game.

What version of NFS are you using? I've got 1.5.7, someone mentioned 1.5.6 working, is that what you have?
I should state right away that I do not see my Galaxy S as a toy that I can constantly play with, tweek, flash, and so on... that holds no interest for me whatsoever. Full disclosure time, I work in IT.
Nor am I interested in upgrading anything from version 1.01 to 1.03 just because 1.03 is newer and therefore MUST be better.
I did upgrade from the stock 2.2 to 2.2.1 for three main reasons.
1/ it removed the "3" branding from the boot cycle.
2/ it now gives me OTA update facility
3/ 2.2 was a bit laggy now and again
I did of course root it the instant I got it, my hardware, my root, but it doesn't go much beyond that, certainly not to the point where I think I know better than samsung.
What makes the Galaxy S (I hesitate to call it a phone) useful to me is the various apk's I have installed, no games, all work / productivity related, I am walking around with a pocket sized network connected mini computer that makes the Star Trek tricorder look like a joke.
It's the installed apk's that make this device a killer.
(in the sense that what's the difference between a win2k box and a win7 box? none, until you start loading application software)
So, all that said, what are the REAL differences between 2.2.1 and 2.3, I don't mean the differences touted on websites, I mean the actual real world differences that users, hopefully users similar to me, have noticed?
Is 2.3 going to allow coders to write more flexible and powerful apk's?
Or is 2.3 going to be what I would assume based upon 30 years experience in the IT industry, eg a point release, that is more fine tuning and tweaking and polishing under the hood, where 99% of users can't see it?
TIA
Hi, i have a Verizon Galaxy tab. I was interested in flashing a new ROM. Does anyone know if the tab has a Sim card? and which is a good ROM? Has anyone successfully flashed a ROM where everything worked? I use my tab in the car and need 3g, gps etc. But im itching to flash a kernel and a new ROM. Anyone have any advise? looks like most of them are for GSM and not CDMA. Please Help!
The Verizon (and Sprint) SGT does not have a SIM card as they are CDMA devices.
There is a small handful of ROMs available however at first it was pain getting started flashing the CDMA SGTs I've messed with.
Personally, I like oldmacnut's ROMs.
However, I'm currently running KhasMek's kernel and the stock ROM (just until oldmacnut finishes his GB port) - Also, running LauncherPro to hide that awful touchwiz interface and Dolphin Browser HD (for better browsing) - This has made the SGT loads better for me.
My advise to anyone looking to flash ROMs (even as unlikely as it is) if you're note 100% okay with the possibility of a brick, then don't flash. Personally, I've never encountered a bad flash I couldn't recover, but your milage may vary.
Thanks Addictive,
I am also waiting for stable GB roms for my VZ Tab. But I need to flash a nice kernel and a ROM. Even though the rooted tab runs nice with some tweaks......such as launcher Pro. I never used Dolphin HD. Ive always used Miren Browser since its lightweight and real quick for me BUT i will def give Dolphin a try. I might follow your footsteps and flash KhasMek's kernel and wait for Gingy. Have you noticed any significant differences as far as performance with this kernel?
The kernel is a touch buggy, but for me the performance boost was worth it. Lagfix, ext4 conversion and over clock were too good to pass up.
Using SetCPU to bump up on demand to 1.4GHz helps a bit when I push the tab (google music streaming in the background, navigation running in the background, bluetooth paired to car for audio, a friend browsing the web .... simultaneously) - Doing that stock made it angry, audio would skip and UI would lag, now its nearly perfect.
Also, I use Refresh for Android to reboot the tab automatically at 4:30 AM everyday. This alone has helped with stability/performance. Recently though, it has stopped automatically rebooting the SGT. I got the app because I was too lazy to setup a cron job to do it for me heh.
Hmmm well I have the ext 4 conversion (using OCLF) and that definitely made it much snappier but mine is running stock as far as cpu goes. I haven't experimented with overclocking...not sure if I want to risk damaging mine. But it did spike my interest since I have the same setup and have a car mount for mine. So I stream music and goole map it along with other goodies (like trapster) and sometimes it stutters. Would be cool to see how much faster it would go. And yeah rebooting always helps lol so I might flash that kernel friday. Have you tried any other ones?

My question about my P1000:
I've used this device for 2 years now and yesterday I received my new phone (i9505).
The P1000 isn't going to leave, as I have changed my sim to a new dual sim card (for both devices... unfortunately one at a time...).
Now I want to install the P1000 into my car's dashboard, therefore I need another ROM, but there are so many to choose from!
I'm not asking for what is the BEST rom version, but:
I hope someone can tell me, what rom is the cleanest (least installed apps)... essentially I want only android (v?, what's the fastest and most stable version that Google had made so far?) and I want to use the play store, so I can install my bought apps... this to ensure nothing is installed that won't EVER be used... can anyone tell me, what ROM I can use best? (and what android version? 2.3 or 4, I know 3 is slow and the currently running 4.2 (nightly) isn't stable enough, yet...)
You can look for a forumer called RED ZMAN

He has his tab in his car dashboard.
I am sure he has some interesting input on what is ideal for car dashboard mounted tab.
Hello everyone,
I've been reading the forum for this phone thoroughly and yet, I was not able to find an answer that would help me.
I have the 4X HD since a couple of months already, and while the performance is not as good as I expected, it satisfies most of my daily activities, until now.
I bought a Steelseries FREE gamepad to play and forget the annoying touch controls on most of my games, but to my surprise, the bluetooth simply doesnt work with the gamepad, it pairs with the device, but oddly, it cannot connect to it.
I tested the pad with another android devices and it works like a charm, the latest one was a LG L7 with ICS V10a and I was able to use the gamepad without problems.
My 4X has, or better said, had (im rolling back to ICS) JB V20a europe open firmware, and it is extremely frustrating that I have to go back to ICS, especially because I was enjoying the features of JB a lot.
Is there a way for me to keep JB and make the bluetooth work?
I tried flashing the phone to different versions of JB, even one from taiwan V20b, and still had the same problem.
Now, I'm not a power user, I dont understand 90% of the terminology used here, or where to find the tools, or how to use them, I downloaded the tool "All-in-one" and I had no clue what to do with it, googled some of the terms but it didnt really helped.
If someone can lend me a hand here I would be very very grateful :good:
Im looking forward to improve the overall performance of the phone, since it doesnt perform very good on several games.
Thanks in advance
R.
EDIT: ICS V10H europe open did not fix the problem, now im basically stuck and dont know what to do :/
EDIT 2: V10A doesnt work either, im considering changing my phone for a htc phone :/
