what apps should i get after rooting? - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

what are some good apps that i should download after i have rooted my phone?
thanks.

Adfree, titanium backup, msl reader if you don't know your msl, set cpu or overclock widget, root explorer (or any other file manager that will let you mount /system as read/write), a screen capture software such as shoot me, and a shell application for your phone, such as connect bot. Check them out on the market for more details. Adfree is the bomb.

Well thank you kind sir, I will check them out.

Some of my most used apps:
Quickboot
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer
Switch Pro
SetCPU
ROM Mgr
Speed Test/Linpack/Quadrant Standard (These don't do a lot for you but they are good for bragging )
LCD Density Changer
Spare Parts
Just a couple that I have used. I have so many downloaded to my phone that it is hard to keep track. Hope this helps out. Sorry if there are any repeats.

Umm, the xda app is a good one. much faster than just using the browser.
Google translate
Gps where am I
Quickboot
.podkast
Hulu (soso, browser works fine for that)
Musicbox
Titanium backup (careful with restoring system stuff, mostly just backup/restore apps)
Sms backup/restore (if you picture flashing often and care about keeping your texts)
Wired tether was a huge must have for me, but I noticed it broke my 4g (not totally broke, flashing a diff Rom got it back. Something in the bin.ip -if I remember right- in the symlink it creates. Davidlightle has taken over development of it for Evo, but seems to be taking a little break from it. That said, there are others whose 4g was unaffected by it. There's a good thread on it if you search the devs name and wired tether) hell, I rarely use 4g. Too much battery hog.
Multitask manager is great. Very configurable. A must-have in my book.
IMDb.
Album art grabber
I know some of these are repeats. That's just me double-suggesting them. Especially quickboot.
Good Rom? Personal opinion, obviously, but my hands down favorite is Virus Rom RC3 with carbon theme. Been running it for a month and haven't seen anything to make me even consider switching. Check his thread in the development subforum.
Enjoy.

Switchpro is just handy I think. I have one of the widgets on the home screen for all of my roms. I like spare parts for the battery history and information.
As for Roms:
My daily driver is Burnt Droid. I like a bare bones Rom with out all of the extras. I just keep tweaking it and adding/subtracting things as I like. But I also have backups of CM6 and Virus on my SD card that I will switch to from time to time.

rom manager, adfree, and wireless tether were the 1st three i downloaded. awesome apps!

Just a simple question... What are the pros of this ROM... I see it's many people use it and I would like to give it a try... But what's the advantage in using it?
Thanks

I've been curious about this as well. I've never really tried one. Some people are reporting CM7 is a touch buggy on the Inspire.

It's still in development but its a work of art. No silly interfaces that hog system resources, just vanilla aosp. A pure android experience.

I'm on RC4 at the moment and the GPS is good to go.
Another PRO for CM7 is the amount of themes for it. A lot of different choices out there.

Ok i m running it and i must admit I m IMPRESSED!
The Inspire is my first Android phone so i m not really used to have different 'OS' on it... I used to have a Jailbroken Iphone but it's not quite the same...
Anyways so far the only complaint is that i wasn't able to import all my contacts from the Titanium Backup ... That's annoying

Your contcts should sync with your Google account?

That's what I thought... but they didn't...
Guess I m backing up the CGM restoring the Stock sync the contacts and restore the CGM again........

Did you install GAPPS?

Yeah, you may be fresh on it, but where it really gets fun is when you go into the Cyanogenmod settings and really customize it to how you want it. I got my favorite toggles in the window CM ftw

Should we use RC4 or the Nightly?
Is the rom stable? I've seen some complain about the GPS. That's a pretty important aspect of my day to day life. I wouldn't be able to put up with in not functioning. It would be like being back on my Captivate... /shiver.
What are the other negatives for us CM7 newbs?

I update to every nightly they release. Figure can't hurt and if there are issues I can always go backwards.

I actually see it the other way around. Without the bloat I think the device runs/looks better. Sense is nice and all but nothing beats vanilla android IMO.

No for sure you are right if we think about all the background processes which aren't running in a ROM like CM... I'm just still trying to figure out the purpose of Sense to be honest...
I mean this is my first android device (I have a nook bu it's not rooted) and I decided to go with android because of its freedom.. now what I m trying to get is "is it like a computer where you have a bunch of hardware parts and you can install whatever SO or you need a proper-fitted software to run the device correctly?"
Oh and another question... where do i get more themes for cm?

Go to Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> *your Google Account* and put a check next to Sync Contacts (and everything else). By default it's not checked for some reason.
Also I don't know if this applies on the Inspire like it does on the Evo, but if you get wakelocks or high system usage, go to Privacy -> uncheck Backup Data to Google (don't worry, your emails and contacts and stuff will still get synced. This is just your list of installed apps).

I have started a comparison chart for the currently available ROM's for the G2X. Since we are just getting started with this device it seems like a great time.
I have made the spreadsheet editable by anyone, I encourage and would appreciate any help with keeping it current. I also do not mind any improvements you see fit, such as adding or changing columns, conditional formatting etc. I just put this together in the time I had available today and it is a rough draft. I know some of you here have much more experience in using Google docs and making something like this so do your thing! I'd like this to be a community project.
PLEASE do not intentionally falsify any information or in any way harm the integrity of this project, we all benefit from this site and there is nothing funny about ruining this for others. Also, I will make a nightly backup.

Nice start...this could turn into something really helpful.

Bionix has kernel .1.1 according to its changelog?

It seems you are trying to make a point or something with the voodoo lagfix?
If none of the phones have it, why would there be a column then?? The column would only be necessary if one of the roms had it. Why put it in there?

We will never have a lag-fix as we already have a great file system (ext3 and ext4) only reason that would be needed is for Samsungs ****ty rfs file system. Might as well remove it from the chart
Good comparison chart though. ^^
Edit: Oh and mine does have spare parts, boot and shutdown animation changed as well

You know what, I actually re-flashed my old vibrant for the wife to use the same day I flashed my first ROM onto this phone so I remembered hearing the lagfix lady while I was flashing a ROM on here and so I thought.. well, maybe it was a little late when I put this together. Column removed.
Once again, if there is something silly like this that you guys see please feel free to make the change, I'm not claiming ownership of this spreadsheet.

Hi tweezit! Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am running your ROM now and its sexy Updated your info.
Removed the lagfix column, I guess it had just become a permanent part of my psyche.
Should I replace with a file system column (ext3 or ext4)? Or is that not important?
Also, is it safe to assume everyone is running the same base band at the moment?

Good topic

My ROM info is lacking
Stock launcher2
Included: T-mobile Theme Manager/Chooser, SpareParts, FileManager, Torch, DSP Manager, ROM Manager and WiFi Calling.
Kernel is 2.6.32.41 with latest patches, updates, OC/UV etc etc
Anyways, hope this will make the ROM less of a mystery

Thanks for the info faux! I promise its nothing personal that yours was lacking. I actually think your ROM is brilliant, and your a bit of a genius![/suckup] I'm just sticking to froyo for now.
I really appreciate you guys (devs) posting in here. I've been working long days I just wanted to get this out there even as a really rough draft so it didn't just become a bigger and bigger task I don't get around to. I

Added Gigglebread and File System column.
Thanks to everyone who has edited with more info!

This is going to sound petty, but can we add a column for HD recording support? I know the leaked build doesn't support it (that's why I went back to stock), do any of the custom ROMs support it yet that are not Froyo-based? I presume all froyo ROMs would support HD recording with the LG camera apk.

I don't want to come out as needy and disrespectful. This is just a request.
Can anyone creat a custome ROM that is as close to stock as possible?
With a few exceptions. Of course remove all the bloat ware, creat a new status bar by removing the t-mobile logo that waists space and the previously used apps (we all know how to hold the home button), and lastly make a numeric battery. Try not to use the circle batterys but stay as close to the original as possible.
Ooh as well fix sence 3.0 and have lockscreen icons.
Also I do use the caller I'd feature T-Mobile provides I don't want $4 down the drain so.please keep that function.

patience, young jedi... I'm sure someone will come out with something soon. I'd like exactly what you're asking for, too!

if I ever get some free time (not likely in the next 2 weeks) I will start cooking up some roms for us. I'm in the middle of a big transition right now and just haven't had time to sit down and start tearing roms apart. -____-
op: have you checked out the UOT kitchen? you can accomplish most of the status bar and battery tweaks you want through it.
the bloatware I would just uninstall with TiBu or any other program capable of uninstalling system apps.
the sense 3.0 lockscreen... not too sure. I've always been an aosp guy so I haven't spent much time modding sense.

Im in the same boat as queen I have something in the works also soone as I finish this rom for my epic !
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App

No rush guys this phone isn't going anywhere. I would love to learn how to cook. I need to get over the big learning curve. The only reasone I ask is because there are specific files I don't know if are usefull or not. Like for example the new caller id feature I don't know witch files are associated with it. I do freeze as much as I can in tibp but I feel like its still slowing the phone down or taking up space. I've been a windows user a long long time and feel like when you uninstall something it's not the same as having a clean install. I can't get over that mindset. BTW thanks for the quick responce.

Those two changes require a framework hack, which requires another hack in services to disable signature verification. I've always wanted to remove those damn "Recent Apps" from the status bar, but only recently learned how to disable signature verification for when the framework is modified.

We have some amazing devs I'm sure sence 3.0 framework will be easly modified. Although I'm sure you can change the status bar without framwork mods like they did on the MyTouch 4g. Unless I'm wrong. Also thanks for revolution.

Until ROMs start coming out, use titanium backup to uninstall any of the bloatware you don't want. I uninstalled just about every app on my phone, and installed better versions of the ones I wanted, and in one case I uninstalled a stock app, then downloaded the same app from the market.
After getting rid of all the bloatware I noticed drastic battery life improvement, so I started looking at other things that were always running in the background, two of them were the preinstalled note pad app and Google Maps. I would stop them, and they would be back running in a matter of moments. I uninstalled both of them, downloaded Google Maps and ColorNote. For some reason, Maps is never running in the background any more. Not sure why that worked, but it did.

Well as I said in the post before I'm using the freeze function for now so I don't ruin anything. It goes into why I don't like doing that.

Means you have to copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, decompile it, re-write part of the code, re-compile it back into an .apk, then install it on the phone.
One of those "easier said then done" things, but not terribly difficult if you read through the thread and take the time to install the tools you need to your computer.
I'm intrigued by this, but there are other things on my list for this phone before I get around to something like this.

Is it just me or is the mt4gs forum dead? I know its the summer and all but wow. Not an attemp at anything. I'm not talking about custome roms. I'm talking about everything.

Yeah it's awful. I'm at work all day refreshing for new content, and I'm left disappointed about 90% of the time. I need something to flash!!!

I've actually just decided to try recruiting devs from the Sensation forum. Given the similarity between the devices, I'm hoping that it wouldn't be too difficult for someone out there to help us out...

I wasn't expecting much dev support here in the beginning. I think ports will start showing up slowly but don't expect it to be anything like the Sensation subforum.
it's a shame because this is a killer device that can run anything thrown at it. with some patience and luck we'll get some devs who are interested in creating things for the slide... maybe from the G2 section once more people start changing over.
at least there's really nothing function-wise on the stock rom that makes it unusable for me. once the bloat is gone and ADW ex (or whatever home replacement you like) is loaded, it's pretty much all I need.. some aosp love would sure be nice though for me.

Yea, but it's a new device...and an expensive one so a lot of people don't have one yet.
For early adopters it's hard sometimes, my approach has just been to try to document everything as thoroughly as possible so that when devs do come, they have less work to do.
Of course, the best way to get something done is to do it yourself - i'd like to make my own ROM for this device, but i'm a long way from that. It'll happen, but i'm pretty positive that by the time I get it all figured out Cyanogenmod will have been ported to this device.
Still won't stop me from doing it though, i'm too curious.
Meantime, posting up everything we can learn about the phone will help in getting a custom ROM when a dev willing to do so comes through here.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm coming from the HD2 and the Galaxy St Vibrant so anyone who knows those phones understands.... I was thinking this forum would be a little more lively.
I've gone from refreshing a lot to refreshing once a day.

Yeah. Totaly. Look at the phones I've owned in the signature. I remember going back to the razer the forums were packed with hex mods and java games. Maybe not this specific one. Still this is the biggest mt4gs forum.

Someone above noted that the phone is new and expensive. That is definitely a factor. Also, from what I saw, T-Mobile didn't really market this phone heavily before it came out. Right at the launch I saw a good amount of ads but not long before. Like the SGS2 has gotten real advertising saturation. This phone is a real contender but because it doesn't have a huge screen it received, and continues to receive, less attention.
Things will pick up but at this point I have prepared myself for a wait. Devs will eventually get the word on how good it is and then things will pick up but it will take some time. For me, the hardware we have is worth the wait.
I did have a thought. Find out if there are devs working on this phone. If not, we could look at collectively getting a phone to a dev that could get it moving.

rom updated to cm7.2 stable and deodexed. nothing else changed, as the vibe i get is its pretty darn good as it sits.
this one was easy, its the cm7.2 stable base, with stuff added on top of it. i tried out ra3al's xperia home replacement, and boy was my mind blown. its just elegant, plain and simple. and it runs pretty good on our hero's too.
things added:
xperia s launcher and widgets from ra3al
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557091
xperia s boot animation
and i added the default wallpaper from ra3al's wallpaper pack available in his app's thread, and added xperia s fonts.
im not a developer, i just borrow things i think are mind blowing. if you want and see fit to, please find donate links for ra3al. he is a real dev, and is insanely talented. all praise to him and other devs.
this is cm7.2 final for our heroc's straight from cyanogenmod, so if something doesnt work that is not related to the xperia apps or theme, please ask cyanogenmod.
everything should work, except for an already known about bug with the tools widget. the brightness setting will fc, and its because i havnt had the chance to sign all of ra3al's apps and this rom with the same stuff. im looking into it.
i suggest using an app such as script manager and using a script such as v6 supercharger to supercharge rom and bulletproof launcher.
also please flash a gb gapps package after installing
now for the download link:

Same here. I saw this ROM on my HTC Evo Shift, I tried it and the widgets didn't work. Hopefully our heros can top that! I do miss the trackball from my hero though. Very helpful in Clockwork! I'll post back when I try it out when I have time!

Running smooth. Really like the launcher and animations. Probably going to keep it till my upgrade in July.

sorry it took me so long to respond but im absolutely glad you like it nukeboy

May I ask what have you've changed/added except the launcher? I want to do a same project using the launcher, which is a great app with mind blowing animations, and porting will be time consuming instead of just making my own mod.
Cheers

hey 1ceb0x
i added the launcher and all the associated apks to a clean fresh copy of cm7.2rc3 (which by the way i need to update this so its cm7.2final)
link to launcher and widgets download: http://boekenhuis.net/xperia/xperia_s_home.html
i messed with framework-res.apk and changed out the default wallpaper also
for boot animation, i found an xperia one on google somewhere, cant remember the link off hand
and i replaced some fonts with xperia ones i found through google search (can remember link either).
hope that helps.

The smoothest rom yet!
However, programs sometimes take a long time to load: gmaps, browser, and slacker. I'm assuming these programs expect a faster phone?
I'm not sure, but it seems better than other roms.

yeah some things will be a little bit slow, the pace of android is almost starting to leave us in the dust.
glad you like this rom, and when i get a chance ill update it to cm7.2 final and reupload

Giving this Rom a go. Install and boot went well. Pretty fast 1st boot up. Started up the Market and took two or three times to get to initial screen. Been searching for a couple apps but it seems to stick in loading cycle, and rebooted a couple times but still struggling to find any apps from search as they continue to stick in Loading. Appears to be quick and responsive with touch and movement so far. OK after about five minutes the app Titanium Backup finally came up.

hey cheyennemtn,
glad you like it. those market screwups could have been the market updating, as the gapps usually offered are not exactly bleeding edge.
for titanium backup, i dont personally use it so i can attest to the speed or lack therof on hexperiac, but it could be due to the fact that the heroc is getting older by the day and many programmers are leaving us in the dust left and right.
thanks for testing! if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. im gonna update this when i get a chance to cm7.2 final, so that might make things move a little smoother also.

Cool
Finally installed gapps!

Great Rom
Anyone who stills owns the Hero has to try this Rom. Extremely smooth once everything warms up. Use it with V6 supercharger and it is awesome for a device that is as old as ours.

as a wifi enabled device only
i love going back to the Hero and checking out new ROMs. good work on this one, fun! i primarily use it in airplane mode (with wifi on).
i'm kind of surprised no one has put out (that i've seen) a ROM that removes the radio, dialer and messaging apps. i wonder if i could remove the apps with titanium without screwing things up. no big deal but it would be nice to not see the No Service message.

Soft Keyboard Fix​-Not Required in Version 6.0​
Addendum 1)​ I just updated the ROM download that has had the keyboard fix added to it as well as removing that troublesome JB keyboard I put in there. I'll leave the "Fix" there though in case there are some that haven't had a chance to grab it yet.​

For Justin Kase you wanted to check out the battery life...

Flashed it last night and started playing with it this morning and WOW! Had the initial FC of touchwiz and it went away. ROM is fast, noticably faster. This will be my rom for the holiday weekend. If you get a chance dont hesitate to give this a go.

Will download in a hour or so^^

Everyone's going to really like this one. I'd recommend firing up kernel tuner and getting both processors running and she'll be as smooth as a baby's butt. You'll notice when you first start, the Touchwiz Launcher will FC a couple of times but then never again. There is also a weather app preinstalled on the home screen you'll need to delete & relaunch. (That's what's messing with Touchwiz I would assume.) The only other thing, and this is MY blasted fault, is the 4.2.2 JB Keyboard I put in. Would have been great but FC's all over the place when applied. Just use root cleaner to get rid of it. May have to reboot after that too. ALL VERY minor issues and quick little fixes.
Other than those....a VERY SOLID DD that's not given me a moments grief since installing it. :good:

Rom look's great i am very happy this has been ported to the doubleshot so more and more users get to use this great ROm i created. Without people to port this and make it usable on more devices it would be limited to who uses it. I just hope more and more developers see the potential in it and begin to port it to every device My new forum is here rom4u.cu.cc Please all users and developers pop over. This new forum was built by the users for the users. This new forum you can post ANYTHING you want. Whether it be paid apps you find on other websites other Rom's you ported we allow ANYTHING. We also are in need of moderators developers themers and more users to join. We use a points system and users can issue other users points for good things they have done once a user gets to 10,000 points they are issued with $10 automatically and your continue to get $10 for every 10,000 points you get. Please Pop over and open up new threads and help us grow and develop into a bigger community. Remember we are here for you and NONE of the moderators on my forum will act like F.B.I Agents and police officers and you will be treated with the respect you should be given. Thanks and we hope to see many of you over here. xxxx

What is the "Soft Keyboard Fix"? Does that delete the 4.2.2 keyboard or replace it? Steps to flash, or just flash ROM, GAPPS, fix one after another then restart, or restart in between each one?

I was a bit foggy wasn't I? The keyboard fix is just to get it rotating properly and actually popping up when it should without going to inputs and turning off the hardware one. That JB keyboard I put in has worked for me before & It's great when it does but seems to have a personality problems with some ROMs....this being one of them. I included Root Cleaner and it will uninstall system apps in one click. Just use that to dump it.
The installation process I kinda take for granted. I ALWAYS flash the ROM and let it settle in. Then I go back for the Gapps & boot back up and do their intro & sign-ups. Then I go back & run any included patches that come with a ROM. Personally, I've never had any issues doing it that way.
Butch....I don't know about those spellings. I've not had a chance to use everything yet.

Yeah man. I finally had a chance to check it out and that thing is bad. Just tap that little symbol out to the right inside where you select it & turn on Predictive Text. There's about 6 other functions & keyboard setups to choose from too.

I got a bug my Google voice search keeps fcing

I don't know bro. Just ran mine thru it's paces & can't reproduce that one. Installed Apex launcher, icon theme pack, switching back and forth between Tablet UI & Touchwiz and can get there in both. One of the Sweetest ROMs I've run in a LONG while.
Maybe a Dalvik flush and a set permissions in recovery?

Idk I mean i uninstalled the jellybean keyboard does that mean anything

No that wouldn't do it. I had to myself because it was causing me issues too. I did reboot right afterwards though. Might try clearing dalvik & reflashing your Gapps if worse comes to worse.
That JB Keyboard is a stinker though. That's the last I try that thru a ROM. It's a GREAT keyboard but never seems to work right unless it comes directly from the Playstore. You should grab it from there sometimes & give it a whirl.

Yup yup i reflashed and it works now...dal cache wipe was probably the answer thanks again man

So far it is running very smoothly. I have all my apps installed, have everything all set up the way I like. Only problems I have had have been onscreen keyboards. The Xperia keyboard wouldn't work at all, just FC. Neither the Samsung keyboard nor the AOSP keyboard will do trace (like Swype), they only work touching each key. The AOSP keyboard will show the trace, but just not enter anything in the field unless I touch each key separately. I wish I could get the trace to work on something as I'm so used to Swype, but I have been reluctant to install Swype unless I just have to do so.
I've set Kernel Tuner up with both cores running 1296/192 and Badass governor, NOOP I/O and 2048 SD cache. So far so good, won't know any battery stats for a couple of days, I think.

I checked mine & it's doing the same as yours Fuzi, so I just went ahead & used Root Cleaner & uninstalled Xperia & Xperia Chinese. I thought that might clear up the issue but afraid not. If I were you I'd go ahead & install Swype on top of it and see if it will activate. Of course if you're where you can just talk, tap the microphone & just dictate into it. It's cool as CRAP for texting, notepad, Playstore...all that stuff. I understand how it is to miss a function you've grown to love though.
