Please post next time in the Q&a section. Thank you
To your question: what kind of tweaks are you looking for?

You could invest in a "Audioquest Dragonfly" USB-Soundcard, its known to work with many smartphones out there (SGS3,Note2...and so on).
It should make an extreme difference, as its basicly a high-end soundcard in a usb-stick formfactor.
I personally think the Xperia-Z Audioperformance with the default Soundcard is pretty crappy, i got a Dragonfly myself tbh. and its worth every penny (cost between 100-150$)
Sadly no english-speaking video out here, but just for the looks of it, check it out.
It seems to work out of the box with the Xperia-Z too.

Best Hero Rom?

Hey guys, just wondering what the best 2.1 hero rom is for my G1. I am looking forward to using the flash player.
P.S. a HTC-Sense rom is okay too.

Why are you looking forward to the flash player? You will be disappointed if you expect it to be a life changing event.
Vegamans Legend Port ROM. AMAZING! Looks great, fast, 2.1 All that's missing is LWP and that's something I'm sure we can all live with?

To tell you the truth, I don't feel like reading every change log on all the roms to see what features there are. I just wanted to see what rom someone might recommend. Wasn't really trying to find the best rom. And on Flash Player, yeah I know its not the best, I just wanted to show off to my friends
also, could I ask if I will find more success with a Desire rom than a Hero rom?
No. The Desire is 2 times larger then the G1 it's impossible.

You don't have to read the change log from every rom, only the few that say hero/desire/eris (of which there are less than a handful).
If they are impressed by 15fps web games...
I don't mean to drag your topic down, but this keeps getting asked over and over again, when all you need to do is look and try a few roms on your own.

If you really wanted to do something useful, you would get into improving our current driver situation. We have an open-source camera driver (which wraps the OEM camera driver) in the CyanogenMod tree, but it needs work, especially on the camcorder side (camcorder doesn't focus at present).
There's also still a lot of work needed on the GL side. We have the libgles_qcom.so file from previous ROM images, but it isn't 100% compatible with Gingerbread (missing textures in Quadrant, etc).
The YouTube player sometimes plays audio-only when viewing "HQ" videos. I suspect this is due to a missing video codec and/or related to the above GL issues. We need work done on various codecs.
There's plenty of work to be done in kernel space. The 2.6.35 kernel posted by s0be is significant progress, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. Personally I would like to see more optimizations done on the kernel side because these will benefit all ROM images.
There are also various bugs in CyanogenMod that shouldn't be too difficult to fix, such as notification power widgets disappearing when changing themes. Check their issue tracker on Google Code to find some easy things to fix.
It would be awesome to see a fully-working 2.3.4 ROM image that was 100% AOSP and had completely working drivers. It would certainly make future development much easier and provide a nice base to build other ROM images from.
...oh, wait, that's right. You just want to "port" "tweaks"/themes/nonsense. Try fixing what we have right now before you give us more half-working junk.

I'm sure it was, as the account was disabled hours after making the post.
this dude needs to discover some vagina to take his mind off his hero. Anyone that ran his tweaks has to be insane.
lmfao how did I miss this thread before xD
You think he'd get the hint after he's been banned X # of times along with getting flamed every time he comes back...smh

Nexus 4 and Android 4.2.2 - still no MP3-tags

For all ppl who are also annoyed by missing MP3-tags over bluetooth.
Please star following issue on code.google.com:
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...id&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Thanks!
AOSP doesn't support AVRCP 1.13 which is the version that introduced metadata support. Until it does, custom ROMs the devs have added it to are the only one's that'll display song/album/artist.
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
This profile is designed to provide a standard interface to control TVs, Hi-fi equipment, etc. to allow a single remote control (or other device) to control all of the A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP or VDP.
It has the possibility for vendor-dependent extensions.
AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:
1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)
1.3—all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc.)
Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc.).
1.4—all of 1.0, 1.3, plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players Browsing and manipulation of multiple players
Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list
Basic search capabilities​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
https://www.bluetooth.org/Building/HowTechnologyWorks/ProfilesAndProtocols/AVRCP.htm
As far as I know, no n4 custom rom supports it until today. Google will most likely never update it, don't know what the heck they are thinking.
it's such an elementary feature. Can't believe it's not integrated....This really makes me mad.

What do you mean no custom ROM supports it?
I was waiting for someone to confirm if AVRCP 1.3 was going to be added in android 4.2.2 but now I'm planning on rooting and getting a ROM that does support this...
This is my most wanted bug fix for android 4.2.2, and I can't believe they missed it. Shame on Google.

I completely agree
Does anyone know of a stable mod that does have AVRCP 1.3?
I'm glad that I am not the only one^^
Please share this bug report as often as possible in other forums. Maybe if enough ppl will star this google will react - MAYBE^^
main reason
This was the main reason I was looking forward to the update...now, I'm sad. Guess I'm going to be forced to root now...anyone know when any of the ROMs will add this much needed feature?

That's all I was looking forward to also.
Its no wonder companies ignore their users when they needlessly and wrongly report bugs for something which is clearly not a bug.
If I was Google I'd ignore every single bug report which was actually reporting a missing feature.
For whatever reason, Google left it out, probably because its a niche requirement. It's not a bug.
thank god ur not google
maybe it's not the right category but at least I did something to point out that there's a problem and gave other ppl the chance to express their madness about this problem aswell.
And a niche? C'mon this is absolute standard nowadays and we can expect this from a 2012 smartphone when even my 2010 i9000 had it!

It is funny how google is missing this very important feature.

Smooth with MHL or HDMI?

Hi!
I've been running CM10 and Paranoid for a while and I find that I don't like the choppyness. So i switched back to CM9 for a silk smooth GUI.
As it turns out, CM9 or 10 won't work with MHL or HDMI, so switched to Team Alliance (Touchwiz).
Team Alliance is still too choppy for me.
What rom has MHL or HDMI support?
Mod Edit: I edited OP to take out Best ROM and make your question more direct. Only had to delete one line and reword the title. Only way this will stay open my friend.

Such threads are not allowed. Reported.
True Story. "Best ROM" threads are almost always closed on sight. In this case, I am going to edit your OP to reflect your real question about MHL and HDMI and take out the Best ROM-iness.
Choppiness is mostly User issues and can generally be cleared up with some troubleshooting like OC/UV, HW overlays,....
Thread stays open for the time being but if it gets back to Best ROM, then it gets the axe. Cool?

Well, I've been on xda for about five years. Enough to know that if I stay out of the loop for a month, almost everything changes. I do not have the time to check out everything and look for specific features, i just want my phone to work.

As i understand the choppiness is due to some driver issue with JB?

Any stock touchwizz (based) rom will have MHL support.

[Q] Stable ROM for everyday use (cam+sound+vid.accel.+wi-fi(+bluetooth))

Hello
because my Touchpad, running CM9, got slower and slower I decided to clean it and put an Update on it.
I need a stable (as possible) ROM with working camera, wi-fi, sound and video acceleration. Bluetooth would be nice but not necessary.
I don't need new apps from newer versions, etc.
It's a 32 GB Version.
Which ROM would you suggest me and where to get it+gapps?
Thanks in advance!
With kind regards
Cosy
The I would suggest that you view the development thread where you will see the different roms for this device and links to gapps or whatever else you may need will be available in the Opening Post what people want or need is down to the user. There you will be able to read individual comments about what does or doesn't work and be able to make your own informed decision.
There are numerous development threads and I don't know which to read.
In addition I can't read a thread holding 250 pages of posts just to pick a ROM.
A little hint would be nice.

But it comes down to you making an informed decision.

I would need the same, and I dont see a reason why you guys that tried all the roms could simple write down a version thats stable and functional, I dont care if its NAdroid 4.2, or 4.3. or 4.4, I just need a functional tablet that has a functional Skype, Netflix and wifi.
Is that a big problem to write, I dont have hours and hours of time to searc (which is useless) to figure out which rom. A small baby at home, work I have everyday, and really not spare time to waste on research.
I apologize in advance if someone gets ofended, but at the time when I was a kid I would spend hours messing online, now I dont have that anymore.
On topic - my biggest issue that the tablet is draining battery like crazy, and is totally glitchy, slows down, all though everything works, but slow and battery is ridiculous.

Well if you read my post which you have quoted you'll see that I did make a recommendation but if you you're after someone to wipe your bottom and put a cookie in your mouth it won't be me. It's the arrogance of people like yourself that makes me wonder why I or anybody else bothers to try and be helpful.
Have a nice weekend I know you've p***ed me of.

No check it yourself or ask someone that you haven't insulted.
And I would be obliged if you can stop quoting me. I really don't want anything to do with you especially as you are still taking the p***.
