howdy peeps iv been having a play round with the rom to try and decifer whats causing it to be so slow and also iv noticed that messages were also not being recieved.
I HAVE THE SOLUTION
right the slowness is caused by the flip clock with the weather update feature, i noticed that when you go back to the home screen it straight away goes to sync the latest weather information, theres two ways of boosting the speed one is either to simply change the clock to one that isnt weather or click onto the weather bit and disable auto weather update
you will notice that there is now no lag swapping from screen to screen, this deffo cheered me up as the slowness did start to peeve me off
and now for that text swiping demon lol, if you have noticed that your messages arent coming thru i found the fix, its the sms widget, there sems to be a bug which is eating them all up lol, basically get rid of it and you will notice you have friends again.
just thot id share my findings with you, because i am now more than happy with my new rom its speedy and have texts again lol
i wonder if i take the message widget from an much older hero rom like the beta rom would it still have that bug
thats what im looking round for, im checking the dream forums because there roms are flowing out and they seem to have no message probs , ill get back to yas
EDIT: ive just replaced the message widget with the one from jachero latest rom, so far so good il let ya know if i get any problems
heres the alternate message widget
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1PFF4ALW
success
i have had no problems with texts whatsoever since the change over i deffo recommend this to everyone who is experiencing these problems, i have recieved texts and pic messages from various devices and no problems when before i would get the odd one
This sounds like a great find, only one thing.
How do I get this to replace the current messaging widget on my HERO rom?
I want to try the Hero ROM... but the Fatality ROM which is the one that works BEST! on my Magic, seems to have been taken away :'(
There's another link to the download on the second to last page I think, have a look because that's where I got it from.
just place the message widget on the sd card and open it through a file explorer on your phone, its what i did just installs like any other aslong as you have allow android applications from other sources selected
Did you tried with this optimized rosie?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822
It should be for Jachero's rom but it may work on Fatality's rom too.
The main point of this thread is so that devs may be able to pop in and quickly see the most-requested features to include in their roms. ROMs are beginning to come out for our working recovery, however, many of the roms seemed to be more vanilla flavored. In that light, I would like to make a few requests for a Rom and hopefully get the requests of others. I will try to keep the OP update to reflect community requests:
What we would like:
- Touchwiz 3 based as well as 1 alt such as LauncherPro with the ability to
- Sprint apks as a seperate file
- Rom Manager support
- Root
- CPU undervolt as well as overclock
- Wallpapers, Ringtones, and LWP from all other Galaxy S devices pre-installed
- Add font changer like the rest of the Galaxies
- Kernel / radio optimization for better battery life w/Cortex A8 optimization
- Add whatever lagfix the epic can apply (not that it needs it, but why are T-Mobile and AT&T get over 2000 quadrant scores and epic does not??)
APKs to include:
- fully working wifi tether
- battery saving app such as Juice Defender at devs discretion
- Solid Backup app (xda member sceptor notes that he has found the inlcuded program in the Boss rom very solid link: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786993)
- Rom Manager with fully working features
- Missing Galaxy S apks included download below ripped from i9000 Galaxy S [reposted from jimbob343]:
www mediafire com/?yy3ewxomj0z
75Mb file
and the Odex files
www mediafire com/?jigr6dsopkwnogz
10.1Mb File
Most requested apks:
- FM RADIO (progress is being worked on @ sdx
- MUSIC PLAYER
- VIDEO PLAYER
- DAILY BRIEFING WIDGETS ETC
- task manager button the recent programs list and the comm manager in the notification drop down
What would be nice:
- Puzzle Lockscreen or other Galaxy S lockscreen, no vanilla please
- Theme and non -themed options
- TV-OUT re-enabled
- It would be nice to be able to edit dock /add- remove homescreens like the rest, can't there be a workaround that it can only be done in portrait? (Assuming the landscape is the issue)
- the ability to make the task manager button in the recent programs list link to a different task manager
- rapid charge like No2Chem did for tp2
- fix_permissions script
- 270 degree rotation
- an easy theming option like the new htc desire or mytouch series
- VooDoo port
This phone needs the radio fixed andd battery life issues fixed before custom roms.

Agreed! not that I use FM but my GF does and I'm trying to get her to trade in her EvO junk so I do not have to flash two separate phones gets annoying trying to keep track of whats what for what phone lol.
I can do everything except tv out
I second this. Vanilla is great, but I want to see and use TouchWiz 3.0 to its fullest power. I was disappointed when I found out that many features were removed from the Epic. Instead I ran LauncherPro in the meantime, waiting for a full touchwiz rom.
A video player shortcut is my biggest complaint.

you can do FM radio?
Oh I forgot, I hate the zoom bar in the browser.
I'm in for this. How about over/under clocking, and wifi tether built in?
+1 on this idea!!!!
My requests like most members here would be...
1. Add touchwiz music player again
2. It would be nice to be able to edit dock /add- remove homescreens like the rest, can't there be a workaround that it can only be done in portrait? (Assuming the landscape is the issue)
3. Fully working wifi tether included
4. Add font changer like the rest of the Galaxies
5. Kernel / radio optimization for better battery life
6. Add whatever lagfix the epic can apply (not that it needs it, but why are T-Mobile and AT&T get over 2000 quadrant scores and epic does not??)
7. Add fm radio if possible
..... nothing out of the ordinary, just what a Galaxy S should be but with steroids

your one of the few then i suppose.
@ kyrumo71 - WTF is that picture?!?!
Anyway, about the battery... I use two full batteries in a day. Well, 1.5 now that I have task killer running. I don't use this phone nearly as much as I used my iphone and the battery doesn't last as long. I'll charge it when needed because I love it but [email protected] it would be great if I didn't have to.
Definitely +1 on everything said in OP's post.
Yea the only issue I have is the damn charging....takes forever...actually takes longer than forever....Sammy went a little overboard on trickle charge...so if someone can make a rapid charge like No2Chem did for tp2 that would be great!

Would there be anyway to have some of the touchwiz widgets without having the touchwiz launcher running? I actually think the friendfeed widget is pretty good. I like most of the things about touchwiz except that 4 icon home dock.
But yea more importantly than that is the touchwiz enhancments in the os like the task manager button the recent programs list and the comm manager in the notification drop down. Maybe the ability to make the task manager button in the recent programs list link to a different task manager as well.
My request- a stock rom that is rooted and has a Rom Manager compatible kernel
I kinda cobbled my together by flashing koushs CWM kernel and using the one click root that is sticked- thanks in advance!!
Some kind of fix_permissions script to make porting data easier would be nice. Also, optional 270/360 degree rotation.
Tv-Out PLEASE!!
Please, Tv-out via 3.5mm headphone jack is the #1 feature I look foward to. I miss it soo much coming from the Touch Pro 2. Nobody seems to have any answers to the Tv-out possibilities. Is it possible??
I have 270 rotation with
baked snack rom

Which MIUI rom is the "best" for the g2x? I'm a little bored of CM7 and would like to try something else.
Try them all...
Is there a main "official" one? The thing is, I don't know too much about it because I guess XDA doesn't allow it or MIUI doesn't allow it on XDA?
There is jface and whitehawks port so only 2 to choose from.
For me personally I prefer whitehawkx version stems to have all features and everything is stable compared to jface
sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
On whitehawkx right now. No issues whatsoever. This is a stable as I've ever seen an ASOP rom.

I like the rom only reason i switched is mms pics i got were soo little i could hardly see them. I asked in 3 different forums and got no reply.
For users with tiny mms picture problem. Download GO SMS and set it to 1.2 MB and "Preserve Image Size" and you'll get good MMS pics.
Whats the best kernel to use with these roms?
Any cm7 kernel will theoretically work, I used faux though

I know, but miui has a beautiful messaging app, why should we have to use 3rd party bloatware..
I'm using miui4g2x 1.8.19 by jumaaneface
Seems to be a big step in the right direction over the very first MIUI ported ROM I tried.
WiFi Calling would make it perfect. Battery seems to be good.
I'm downloading 1.8.26 by Whitehawx now:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1858&page=45
I'll compare the two and figure out which one I like better. I really enjoy the blue default theme by jumaaneface. I don't think anything has been changed or updated other then using the latest 1.8.26 build (no G2x tweaks).
Update:
I don't really see any framework differences. I don't like the Boot Animation of Whitehawx. The one from jumaaneface had a sweet MIUI boot animation. Whitehawx 1.8.26 has the WiFi Calling app but it isn't seeing my SIM Card (which is the problem they've been having)... so no extra benefit there.
Music isn't FCing on the newer build which is a plus. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) app which wasn't in the older rom.
I could be wrong but battery seems to be chewing through the new build. From 8am-2pm I was at 60%. I flashed the new rom and booted up at ~55% and within 2 hours I'm down to 40%.
I did flash 1.8.26 over 1.8.19 so I'm not sure of any apps I carried over, only the new apps and features.
Running stock MIUI with stock kernel and Go Launcher.
Battery is awesome i can last a full work day without having to plug in.
After using it for a few days, I'm pretty disappointed.
1. There's no "all apps" button.
2. No 2g/3g toggle built into toggles.
3. Can't even use PowerControl because you can't change its parameters.
4. Battery life seems worse than Cynogen.
5. When typing in URL, it will randomly close the keyboard.
6. Can't add custom shortcuts.

For starters use Go Launcher. They pair nicely. Else put a folder on the launcher bar and drop all apps in there.
Also use 8.19 because the latest one 8.26 killed my battery.
Why use powercontrol when you have every toggle in the pull down?
8.19 comes with swipe but the stock GB keyboard has a wonky dictionary. The fix is to just download the GB KB from the market and switch to it. It may also solve the hiding keyboard cause I haven't a problem with the market version.
The only downside I've found is that Maps doesn't appear to be intregreted very well with the stock browser. Usually I'll get a pop-up asking to open the link with the actual Google Map app which is easier to use on a mobile.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2
Whitehawks is great, never tried jumaaneface.
If you're a Wind user in Canada you cannot use whitehawkx MIUI because data does not work. You have to use face MIUI.
Switching back to CM7. MIUI is pretty terrible in my opinion.
miui 1.9.9
whitehawk version 1.9.9
Was using miui 1.9.2 and it ran great with minor issues like my led home lights would shut off and the only way to get them back was from the led setting or reboot. Sometimes my phone would just turn off thinking it was asleep but was actually off. I would have to pull the battery out to turn it back on. I downloaded 1.9.9 but haven't tried yet using weapon g2x 2.5 and so far everything is running smooth with no issues. I had to uninstall tw launcher cause it was force closing now everything is great.

Alright everyone, Here is my newest creation, Senseless AOSP Themed, It is 100% Stable. This ROM gives a complete look AND feel of an aosp rom while still keeping the awesome aspects of sense like the sense camera, sense messaging, and sense dialer. Its also much easier on the RAM usage as well.

It disturbs me when Cooks call their rom Non Sense or Sense Less, yet they still leave at least 1 Sense item in the Rom. If you were willing to recook your ROM without the sense lock screen I would be willing to give you a mirror off my colocated server.
Well thanks but no thanks. Im fine with multiupload. And i kept the lockscreen FOR A REASON. Thats the best aspect of the new 3.0 sense. Duh. I dont know where u get off calling me a cook. If you check my Rom i compiled 12 apks from aosp source code. So you can keep your opinions to your self.

The lockscreen sucks. I might agree with you if it was the customizable version but the doubleshot version is lame.
Ok. Well please test this version for Me. I will change the lockscreen to aosp if that is the demand.

I personally love double shot screen lock a lot more then the AOSP one, and the HTC Sensation (3.0) one.
Reason being, its simple, I don't need apps on my locks screen. I don't see the point of it, I might as well not have a lock screen if I'm always needing to access my apps.
This is of course a personal thing, but its slightly a gimmick, I just want to slide unlock and call it good. If the feature was there, I wouldn't complain, but I'm not begging to have it either.
Also to note, I much prefer this stripped down version of sense a lot more than the full blown version. Its faster and does not slow down over time like I have noticed with the full version. Downloadable themes would be nice though.
And while I'm at it, I don't like how many shortcuts are on this phone to do the exact same things, like the notification bar Quick Settings, and the Personalize menu. Too many routes to get to the same places.
Downloading to test now. Will report back shortly.
In all honesty thanks for developing and getting the community open to roms. Love to check xda and not see a bunch of "when are we getting roms" threads.
Thank you. Let me know how you like it.

Sorry I didn't mean to rub anyone the wrong way.
I thought cooks were anyone who puts together custom roms. I am just not a fan of The sense 3.0 lock screen, that is it. If you were to make your Rom without the Sense lock screen then maybe offer a CWM update for just the lock screen for people who want that, I think your ROM would cater to everyone. As it is I am still waiting on my 4G slide to arrive.

There's a reason they're called shortcuts. Because they take fewer steps to get there. If I get an email its quicker to slide a gmail icon and get there than unlock then go into apps and open gmail. Same with the quick settings. If I want to turn on wifi its just much faster than hitting menu then settings the wireless settings. I always thought that shortcuts were self-explanatory as to why they exist.
Oh got ya. No cooks are people who take people roms throw them in Rom kitchen and do little mods. Dont get me wrong this is cooked but there are compiled parts as well so i guess u can call it half baked.

I'm 99% sure that if you use root explorer to remove HTCLockscreen.apk from the system/apps folder it'll revert to the stock android lockscreen. Problem solved! You can download this ROM and delete the HTCLockscreen apk and you'll be golden.
I too like the lock ring. I find the sensation's lock ring with shortcuts to be kind of gimmicy to be honest.
Is this a true Sense-less rom? I installed Tasteless Venom, and while I love it, when trying to connect a Wii controller to it, it still says the phone is running HTC Sense, so it won't work.
I'm a heavy gamer and emulator user (major reason why I got the phone ), and being able to connect a Wii controller or PS3 Controller is a MAJOR thing for me..
No this still is a sense based rom. He just deleted some sense apk's.

No0b guide!
Upon the recommendation of one of the thread followers, I decided to put together this thread to help noobs getting started. Hope it helps, but if you need more assistance, PM me and I can help in greater detail.
Kernels
It comes with the up-to-date CM kernel, however there are other ones that you can try! You can always use the Kernel Manager app in the market, but I'll also provide links to the threads and basic explanations of the most popular ones below.
Godm0de: toastcfh is a legendary kernel master on XDA, and he constructed this excellent kernel a ways back. It is the best non-SBC kernel, in my humble opinion. It includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, uses CFS, and is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-8.
Tiamat: an excellent kernel, available in both SBC and non-SBC. It also includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, uses CFS, and the most recent version is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-8. I personally have used the most recent SBC version (4.1.0), and really like the new lagfree governor. Personally, however, I use the famous 3.3.7 kernel, which gives unparalleled battery life.
Savaged Zen: although it is no longer in development, this kernel is absolutely wonderful, and I was a staunch supporter for a long time. The final version is 2.2.1, and includes overclocking and underclocking capabilities, undervolting, comes in both CFS and BFS versions, comes in both SBC and non-SBC versions, and is based off of Linux kernel 2.6.38-7.
I won't go into detail about all of those individual features (that is what Google is for), however I will single out SBC because of previous debate on the topic. SBC is essentially a “trickle charge” of the battery, or charging more than 100% to fully maximize the charging amount. Non-SBC kernels charge to 100%, then discharge to 90%, and recharge to 100%, and continue this cycle while still showing 100% in the top bar. This is why when you pull the phone off of the charger it instantly drops down to 90%. There have been reports of exploding batteries when SBC was first introduced, however these were quickly dismissed by many as cheap Chinese batteries (or other rumor-based exaggerations), and there have been no reported cases since this time. Point is that SBC is considered use at-your-own-risk, although I've used SBC kernels nonstop for nearly a year and have not had problems. Just an advisory notice.
SetCPU
To control how your kernel works with your CPU, you can use the SetCPU app that is available for $1.99 in the market, or for free from that thread (support the developer if you can, its worth it). This app will let you set what minimum and maximum frequencies you want (to overclock, underclock, etc), and how the CPU scales within that range. You can also use different governors, which affect the timing of that scaling from one frequency to the next based on different heuristic algorithms.
Vipermod
Vipermod is a mod that allows you to undervolt to a greater extent than what most kernels will come with. You see, kernel developers make their kernel with the target of stability, so they provide appropriate power at various frequencies to allow most users to enjoy it without further modification. That said, many phones are capable of using less power to effectively run at these frequencies, which will increase battery life. The tutorial to install and use the mod can be found on the thread, but just keep in mind that if a phone cannot handle a certain frequency, you'll get random reboots when the frequency scaling is tested. Hence, the general philosophy is to start by undervolting by -100mV, and if you get a random reboot, to increase by increments of 25mV until you no longer get those reboots. Personally, mine stopped rebooting at -50mV, and I've seen significant battery savings at this level.
Keep in mind that only certain kernels have the structure to allow this mod to work. When you try to run it, your phone will tell you if it can't run on that kernel (don't worry, it doesn't break anything, it just sucks).
Sysctl Config
The Sysctl Config app is available for free in the market, and allows you modify how your kernel frees up system resources (i.e., closes background apps, manages open apps, etc.). I won't go into what the settings mean (Google can do that for you), but the basic premise is this:
Ratio Values mean that the higher the number, the greater the percentage of app cache is stored in memory before being cleared by the system.
Cache Pressure means the pressure the system exerts on apps to close when pushed to the background.
Most kernels default with the settings of Dirty Ratio=20, Dirty Background Ratio=5, VFS Cache Pressure=100. If you change them to Dirty Ratio=95, Dirty Background Ratio=70, VFS Cache Pressure=1, it means that apps will keep cache handy longer (system resources used less frequently and smoother app use overall). Of course, you can experiment with those values, but this is dabbling with advanced kernel stuff so don't get too crazy.
V6 SuperCharger
I haven't gotten the opportunity to use the SuperCharger mod too much, but it looks to be beneficial in aiding how the internal memory structure works with OOM Groupings and lowmemkiller values. Some users report drastic increases in multitasking and battery life. It requires the Script Manager app, BusyBox 1.18.2 or lower, and the Autostart Script the mod's creator developed. The installation details are available on the thread.
I'll add more later, but this should get you started!
Sweet it might be easier to follow now I hope LOL.

Haha I hope so! Hopefully we can also get some more users of this rom, it really is underappreciated just because of its low profile on XDA.

It use to be more popular lol.
I have a suggestion for all the noobs on the forum these days maybe post the kernels that work with aosp with some links in the op so you don't get that question over and over again.
Just a thought.
Edit: another thought that would be cool if you posted links and howtos on V6 and vipermod in op .
That might draw some noobies in to this ROM and save on some questions being asked.

I am gonna try this now! Looks and sounds awesome.
Definitely a sweet rom. To me it had a different feel than most other
AOSP roms.

Good idea ... made that into the second post.
I didn't include the supercharger mod because I don't use it, so if you (or someone) could PM me with the thread its on (couldn't find it) I can check it out and provide a tutorial there too.

Your phantom voicemail icon? Like, from the depreciated Sprint Voicemail app?

I have the same phantom icon that shows I have a new voicemail every time it boots up. I cannot clear it or remove it.
BTW this ROM is amazing but I'm still having massive battery drain! Could it be an app? Im using Vipermod @ -75mA, V6 Supercharger, Tiamat 4.0.7 SBC and this newest nightly. It's like the most amazingly beautiful combo ever, yet it's owning me =(. Also did Fix Permissions in ROM Manager twice.
I'll try it...
---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------
Is this based on latest CM7 nightly #180 ?
so I can use metamorph themes?
Great AOSP ROM. Silky smooth even clocked down to 768 mhz and undervolted -100 mV.
Question: anybody else using GoLauncher? I'm having issues with GoWidgets (calender and message) loading after a reboot. No problems with any other widgets. I can uninstall and reinstall and they show up fine. I'm testing the 1.3.1 nightly. Tonight I'm going to try a stable release and see if I get the same thing.
Looking forward to getting more time with this puppy.
Very nice OP. Good Luck. By the way, Thanks for the links on your sig.

Have you checked spare parts? It sounds like there may be an app that is causing a wakelock, check to see if there is any partial wakelocks, sensor wakelocks, etc. There is also a number of battery monitor apps available in the market that will tell you what app is using all that power, so you can sniper it a bit more effectively. The only other thing I can think to recommend is a battery calibration, if you haven't done one in a while. It absolutely NEEDS to be done when coming from a Sense rom, but every once in a while I need to do it even though I'm an AOSP all-the-way guy. It just happens when you try new kernels. PM me with some photos showing the drain (after trying those methods, of course ) and I'll see if I can help you out.

It is not based on any CM7 nightly ... they customized AOSP from scratch. I can't tell you if metamorph themes will work, but if they are built for CM7, I would venture not. Just the T-Mobile Themer app.

I am an avid GO app user, and swear by Launcher EX. The widgets not showing up after a reboot does happen with me as well, but ONLY on a reboot after I clear dalvik cache and cache. The secret I've found to geting them back is that when they show up as that white box, remove them from the screen and reboot. Once rebooted, put them back on the screen and they show up fine. They will stay on reboots too, at least until you clear those caches again.
Btw, don't ask why it does this, I have no idea haha.

Thanks! And my pleasure, good sir.
Running great and love the lockscreen options as well as the statusbar tweaks. Does anybody know of any gapps that actually restore your market apps. for what ever the reason I an never seem to find any that work. I use MyBackup Root but was just curious if anyone else had this issue.
Once again thanx for finally updating this and its helped my flashing addiction....

I've checked spare parts and the highest partial wakelock is Android Systen with 1m 57s and the highest sensor usage is Android System again with 46m 51s of total time. Nothing came close to those. Could you name to me one good app that monitors apps that drain battery? xD I'm using Battery Monitor Widget and System Panel Full. I've also calibrated the battery, no dice. I noticed on my Battery Monitor Widget that something is using 2mA while I'm charging with SBC. I know it's supposed to be using 0 mA -_-

It's theoretically SUPPOSED to do that, however it stays between 0 and 4mA (not a constantly 0 charge). The longer that you've had your battery, the more it does this.
One of the things that is rarely talked about with SBC is that it shortens the overall life of the battery. By gaining that 10% extra per charge on the frontend, it shortens the lifecycle of the battery significantly. Considering we replace our phone every year it rarely is a deal breaker, but the battery's ability to retain that superfull charge we all love about SBC lessens over time. Personally I believe it is totally worth it, but for people that hold onto their phone for more than a year, they sometimes need to get a new battery.
Out of curiosity, what kind of "massive battery drain" are you incurring? What kind of overall battery life / screen on time do you get, in hours?
