Hi ya folks, this is the only place i could think to go for help with this.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (the one from t-mobile). I just recently switched to Verizon and got the Experia. Anyway I want to turn my vibrant into a strict mp3 player I looked for a rom to do this and was unable to find one. So I had the idea of removing everything but the OS from the phone I got rid of Touchwiz and used Zeam I got Poweramp and used the full screen widget and reduced it to a single Desktop. I Started deleting the Core components such as the phone camera gps 3g stuff all that fun stuff. but every time i keep deleting things that render the phone non functional. I was wondering If any of you wonderful developers had a list of non essential components so I could delete the right ones and leave the ones required to make the phone boot up and use the poweramp app. Thanks in advance.
Sory to bloat this thread any more than it already is, and waste the Mods' time...but apparently, I don't have enough "ForumCred" to be allowed to post in the *proper* Forum & Thread (Epic 4G Android Development.)
I'm having a couple of issues with the above-mentioned new ROM.
First, and most important, I have no Internet capability that isn't handled by another App. I can do Youtube, Gmail, banking, etc...But if I try and use the Google Search Widget, or (most of my) Bookmarks, or even the basic Internet app, nothing happens. No FC, no nothing. (Yes, I've DLed/Installed the FlashPlayer.)
Now, a couple of things that the ROM doesn't support (Not their problem, I understand that's part of the ROM's design):
The ROM has no support for Live Wallpapers. ...is there a way to add that functionality; or is it necessary to be embedded in the ROM itself?
Also, I was hoping to get the Sprint Hotspot hack; is that available seperately? (I did get the Android Wireless Tether app, so this may not be as much of an issue now...)
Thanks in advance!
Hello all and especially to any that can help,
I recently purchased a Droid X from a co-worker who had upgraded to a Droid Razr (carrier Verizon, Android 2.3.4, model MB810). I found out later that the phone had already received the .621 OTA update and was unrootable (someone may have found a method by now).
I did 2 days of researching before I attempted any changes in the phone and found that although a reversal of the .621 update was impossible (again the info on this may have changed), the Milestone X's sbf could be used. I downloaded the flasher program and 2 sbf's for the Milestone X, tried both and liked the larger one better. The phone now reads as a Milestone X (carrier Alltel, Android 2.3.5, model MB809).
The question I have is "what is the best custom ROM to use with this device"?
Cares and Don't Cares:
1) Carrier: I won't be placing this device on any carrier's network - Wifi and Bluetooth are good enough for me. I will be using a hack I found on these forums to be turning off the carrier radio later. This also means I won't be needing this device to have any phone functionality. This is basically going to be used as a mini-tablet replacing my 3 Craig tablets (#1 broke, #2 has damage to a daughter board - I think a chip burned out, #3 is refusing to reliably boot, made #1.5 from parts of #1 and #2).
2) Bluetooth keyboard connectability: The only program that hints at this is Bluekeyboard JP and it mainly uses Apple products. I have a Freedom i-Connex keyboard I would like to use and maybe others in the future.
3) Multiple mounting points: Currently this device only offers 2 points, even after rooting: a fake CD-Rom, and the sd-card. If there is a way to create a folder/directory and make it USB accessible, I would love to know how. I use my portable devices as reference file storage.
4) Reduced bloatware: I won't be needed phone software (see #1) and I don't need the prepackaged games nor social software (they cause more trouble then they are worth to me - namely see the news about TWD - texting while driving - accidents, social website enabled stalking, and other physical and informational damage). Also, other than program(s) to backup the installed ROM/RAM (Nandroid?), no prepackaged backup program (seen that most people prepack Titanium, I like Astro file manager better).
5) I know this one may be next to impossible to get; WINE: emulating a whole OS just for 1 program is wasteful. I would love to have a mobile copy of "DC Creator" (character and gadget builder) from Mike Love for DC Heroes and Blood of Heroes (Mayfair Exponential Gaming System program, I updated the dc_data.dat file to include new powers from Blood of Heroes and the Web, file is now over 70k).
6) ICS: I know that people are working on this one for this device, several problems to go (like the camera), and a thanks goes to them for even attempting this.
During my research, CyanogenMod 7 and 9 kept coming up. If I read my info right, these are not actual OS updates but instead mods that give some next gen functionality to the current roms (Froyo gets Gingerbread mods, Gingerbread gets Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich mods). I haven't tried either yet so I don't know if any of these would help me or load my system down more.
My thanks to the whole device hacking community for enabling us to get the most out of our devices (whether it be android, iOS, PSP, PS2, ..... you get the point).
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to get as much info to whoever could help as possible.

Moving to Q&A
Miui or cyanogenmod9
this roms are perfect
Thank you for the information. I'll dl both next time I'm near a high-speed connection (dial up at home sucks, thank you CenturyLink for avoiding my area for yet another year).
Hmm, MIUI appears to be only useable if you are upgrading from Froyo - I'm Gingerbread and I don't know if it will revert back to Froyo - remember this phone has already received the infamous .621 OTA update. It was probably a fluke I found that the Alltel SBF worked. So MIUI appears to be out of the question.
The Cyanogenmod 9 links I found appear to be dead when I checked from work (blocked?), but I also found no information on requirements. I see that you need both that and the Gapps files to use this.
Has anyone else gone the path that I have to SBF and root my device (Verizon Droid X Gingerbread 2.3.4 -> SBF -> Alltel Milestone X Gingerbread 2.3.5, rooted) and applied a custom rom afterwards?
Anyone have complete instructions on how to install CM9 for the Droid/Milestone X ->still a noob here<- that has taken the same path as me (and any further information on getting the camera working, last update looks to have been in February)?
Thanks again for any help.
Anyone know of a stable download link for Cyanogenmod 9?
All links I have found are either dead (404), 'server down for maintenance', or access denied (403).
Does anyone know of any hack / tweak available for the Skyrocket (727 from Rogers) to allow scanning an NFC tag with either the screen off or at least without unlocking the phone?
I'm running stock Rogers 4.1.2 BTW.
Thanks!
There appears to be one posted (Mod) in the development section. I have not tried it, I just saw it posted there. Maybe that is what you are looking for.
Since I am new to posting on the forum, I am not able to post this to the Developer thread where this belongs, but would like it to be available for people searching for an answer to this problem.
This is regarding the thread [ROM][GB] Hybrid (Stock/CM7), Multilingual, Deblur
The thread is made for the Photon 4G, but can also be used on the Electrify, and in particular, the locked 2.3.5 version of the 4G.
There has been a ton a research done to get it cleaned up to work on the Electrify, but one thing I found was that Google Play was still having some issues resolving the Electrify as a proper phone with some of the mods out there.
This is mainly informative for anyone who has loaded this ROM onto an Electrify and not been able to access some items in Google Play.
Google Play uses information from your build.prop file to figure out what items in it are compatible with your device.
The biggest item with this is LCD Density. I throttled mine back to 180 to get more screen realestate, though that doesn't completely make sense, since the higher numbers are supposed to be more dense.
Either way, it worked for that, but also screwed up some items in Google Play.
This can be resolved in 2 ways:
1) Reverting to the standard of 240 for the device resolved this issue
2) Using the LCD Density Modder pro version will load a modified Google Play apk that will make it function properly
But this still didn't fully resolve the problem. These items still needed to be changed to get this back to recognizing the device as a Motorola Electrify:
ro.product.model=Motorola Electrify
ro.product.brand=MOTO
ro.product.name=uscc_us
ro.product.model.number=MB853 (this is actually missing from the ROM's build.prop)
ro.build.description=sunfire-user 2.3.5 4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0 19 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=MOTO/uscc_us/sunfire:2.3.5/4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0/19:user/release-keys
ro.mot.hw.uaprof=http://uaprof.motorola.com/phoneconfig/motomb853/Profile/motomb853.rdf
cdma.nbpcd.supported=false
ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.45.1.190.MB853. USC.en.US
A couple of other mods I had done through rooting tools caused the following changes, but I don't think they are related to Google Play not working, but I wanted to be sure. I plan on changing them back shortly, so if there is no other post, they work fine:
dalvik.vm.heapsize=42m
ro.telephony.default_network=4
I hope this is useful information for some of you out there.
