Since I can't yet post in the Dev section want to pass along my initial feedback on the new Tiamat ROM (2.0).
- First and foremost GREAT job. I was very disappointed with the HC 3.2 release and went back to Taimat 1.1 immediately.
- Would love to have back the new features from BRD's 1.1 mod pack. Screen capture and the enhanced Shutdown screen were awesome.
- Still can't connect my camera in Tiamat. Works in stock 3.2 . . . but no way am I going back there.
- Like others I really don't care for the new battery icon.
Again, terrific job Team Tiamat.

It's awesome! I don't mind the battery icon. Just add quick boot and there's a screen capture app (I forgot its name), so I don't care about mod pack (I didn't install it when I was on Tiamat 1.1).
I love the logical placement /naming of the MicroSD and the usbOTG.
All is smooth and working well. I added back ADW Ex launcher and that makes it just perfect.
just cant update maps very annoying.
Lordao
When you say that you can't "update maps", are you referring to Google Maps? Is it a question of not being able to update the version from Marketplace or something in the functionality of the Maps app not updating?
Thanks
Gordon
{Edit] OK, I have seen the answers from another thread. I guess that you can't update from the Marketplace.

To stop reboots set wifi sleep to never. This is a known issue/solution. There will be minimal battery impact.
Thanks. Already did that. Still, it bugs me a bit. I want the wifi to sleep. Not enough to go back to stock tho.

US 3g - working very well. You mentioned ADW ex working for you... I can't play with the settings (1/2 the screen is blacked out)... is yours OK? The only other quirk I've seen is with Folder Organizer - the "tabs" at the top are no longer tabs, just overlapping words. Otherwise a great improvement over stock with full SD access! Thanks to the development.

If you want to save a little battery, and you're using setvou, just create a screen off profile with the min/Max set to the lowest CPU.

I hadn't noticed the ADW settings issue until I saw it mentioned this morning. Yeah, mine's affected too. It doesn't bother me because there's nothing that I need in ADW settings, but it's weird what does get affected. One of my favorite casual games used to work fine full screen but now it looks like it's phone sized and there's no zoom/stretch to fit setting available for that one app. Go figure?
Thanks for the quick response.
Any wifi users with stock 3.2 using adw ex? Are you experiencing this too?
I tried editing the packages.xml too. No Bueno..... Does anyone have a fix for this?

saw in the apps/themes forum were several others (stock 3.2) are experiencing the same issue... so looks like adw needs to update for 3.2 and not a tiamat issue

i updated today from german MZ601 xoom to 3.2 for Euro xoom (as described here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183416).
first of all, thanks to all in volved for the work you guys put into this. i am impressed with the ROM. i really should not have waited that long for updating the stock honeycomb
the only thing is that my 3G won't work. or rather, it will if i allow roaming in the mobile network settings (even though my sim card should not allow roaming)... any pointers to what i might have done wrong (yes, i am pretty sure i screwed something up here )
thanks in advance for the help and thanks again for the ROM!!!

I have a Google Apps account using 2-step verification, and as soon as I enter my generated password, this error pops up:
Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I followed all the instructions to install the Tiamat 2.0 ROM (i.e. full wipe) and tried fixing permissions, etc. After doing this 3 different times, I believe there is a bug in the ROM handling/syncing Google accounts which use 2-step verification. If I remove the account from Settings, the error stops. (I would post this in the development thread, but alas I don't have enough posts to do so.)

Same problem here. I eventually ended up restoring to stock rom cause I didn't find that CM 5.0 added anything for me, sure JIT really showed its powers in the benchmarks, but nowhere else that I noticed.

Huh, really? I didn't notice much difference, but the fact that it did away with the slight stuttering when switching desktops was enough for me.
I had the same problem.
However I've noticed that if you use it with Home+ it doesn't force close.
I'm now running Cyan 5.0 beta 2, Home+ and JIT flawlessly.
I got a reply from the Dev today, he is running stock rom so i did a logcat of the issue and e-mailed it back to him per his request, i'll keep you all updated as things progress

The app was updated but still seems to FC on Cyan 5.0 beta2. Yes, I can do it every time I'm left with a black screen after a force close.
I go into the market, go to my downloads. Then I click on the Beizer wallpaper app, and hit home. Voila, Beizer works.
try uninstalling the app and installing it again, i e-mailed the dev the logcats and he updated the app to version 1.2
I'm running CM5b3 and its FLAWLESS now both beizer and lines are working now

Its there by default. Im sure you just tapped the home button on accident maybe being used to roms where its defaulted to sense.

If you have any further problems just pm and we'll get you going.

When you wipe go to options and fix uid mismatches, wipe data and dalvic as well. I flashed this rom 23 times yesturday after complete wipe and worked EVERY SINGLE TIME. I can GURANTEE its not the rom itself, unless you got a bad dl. Did you download directly to phone? DL it again and reflash and it should work just fine. Any further problems pm and ill get it going for you. GOOD LUCK
Can someone tell me how to get the facebook pictures to come down in the contacts. When I click link to facebook, none of my contacts show up. I'm logged into it because friendstream is up and running.
I finally got some time today and loaded this bad boy up. I'm getting an error when I go to finalize my exchange account..."Failed to set up account. Please try again later". I've verified all info is correct. Any ideas???
Also....when the alarm goes off....there's no way to send it to snooze or turn it off. The ROM is awesome....looks good and runs great. The alarm and exchange are 2 things I definitely need though....thanks for your hard work.

I have no use for an exchange account either, You tried later correct? and if so was the issue resolved? I may have to set up an exchange account as well to check it out.
The alarm issue can be resolved. IT happens because i rm the lockscreen to use vanilla lock, and the alarm clock is inside it. Ill get a fix and pm you the link.
Alright Im no longer AWOL and have an update for you!!
ok here is the updated echOS. im pushing 40 something hours of no sleep so I will give you a quick changelog now. Then tomorrow I will put out a more in depth one. Its not exactly where i want it to be but I figured I have been awol lately and need to put something out...because you know....Evo needs another rom =P (sarcasm) ok here it is -
Quick Changelog better one coming tomorrow:
Upgraded to 3.29
no longer based off of Bakedsnack. Now based off of stock OTA
All the aosp apps as before EXCEPT for contacts.apk It is still work in progress.
Able to reboot into recovery or bootloader now from the power menu
Boot Animation by mrono (thank you very much!)
Now uses AOSP Keyboard
Because its using the AOSP MMS.apk you will most likely get SMS notifications when you get a voicemail.
Things to that will be fix next update:
USB status bar icon is too big.
AOSP Contacts.apk
Percent in battery
GOGOGOG

Beta has been sent out to the testers!!!. Hopefully I can get it posted to the public in the next couple days. Thank you very much to the people testing the rom!
First off all credit to Herver for his great rom. All info on the original rom and Herver is below.
I uploaded 0.9.5 beta. not real happy with it. And it has some issues so its here if you want it but it might not be stable. wireless tethering is still giving me issues and the hulu app is just false hopes but im to tired to mess with it anymore tonight. Also there is no lockscreen now....ill get it fixed tomorrow....What I have changed though:
New AOSP browser now you can change User Agent
Fix AVI playback issue
Changed Power Control to match the Vanilla theme
Updated Kernel ***I forgot to change the default cpu scaling. so at first it might run sluggish untill you change the scaling to something other than conservative.
http://www.multiupload.com/BWZSZPOL7V
Updated to echOS .9!!!
I will update the change log in a little bit. Fixed issue with not being able to use widgets to toggle 4g. wireless tether might fc.
try installing this version of wireless tether
Update up and waiting for you to download!

Original Rom
Untill recently I didn't want to take any credit for this rom, and still Herver deserves the majority of credit. But I have put alot of time and nights without sleep trying to get this as close to AOSP while still being full functional. With that being said if you feel like we deserve a little love (donation) Herver deserves the majority of the donation. hero_over donation link above this paragraph. Mine is in the sig. Thank you! Hope you enjoy! If you have any issues PLEASE post and if you can leave a logcat of your issue I can get it resolved quickely.

will this be the 1.5 backed snack or the 1.01, and do you plan on releasing updates to this as Herver updates?

I have it working on my phone but when I try to flash the rom it gives me some errors. BUT even with the errors it looks like it installs somewhat correctly. I will upload what I have as a beta if anyone REALLY wants to try it but it has its problems.
Uploading at the moment with AOSP Dialer, Contacts, Email, MMS, and Music. So far its been running very stable for me. A couple little things I need to fix but it doesnt effect performance at all.
Contacts and Email apks stolen from mrono import of manups nextang themed cm6
This sounds awesome! All the benefits of Baked Snack (which I used to run and loved) without the cruft of Sense (which is the reason I dropped it for CM6).... Downloading now. I'll let you know how it goes.
Does the Wiimote app work with this rom?
endless loops
This thing just loops through the android bootscreen endlessly. That's w/ wiping everything beforehand.
Anyone else having this problem?
Worked first time for me. I also wiped beforehand.
so does 4G, HDMI, FM Radio work on this.
I would like to see the phone app in full aosp. Because I'm using a Rom that is working beautifully but just see that when I receive a call it shows the stock phone app and the scroll down answer bar. I want the aosp mode. I don't like to auto decline people when taking my phone out of the pocket . Thanks

Hello All,
I am not de developer of this app, but I find it very usefull and wanted to share it. Its called SpareParts and people that have had previous android phones are probably familiar with it.
However, I never found it in any Xperia X10 rom, and everytime I tried to install one from the internet, it just wouldn't work, or didn't include some of the most interesting settings of this app.
Basically SpareParts is a system tweaker, and lets you change a variety of settings which makes it a very handy tool.
I recently found one which included Compcache and CPU settings that worked fine on my X10.
For those who don't know, enabling compcache allows android to compress RAM and results in overall better performance.
It also has working CPU settings (As you may know, most CPU control apps available are unreliable with the X10).
In my case, I used to have ramdom reboot problems , specially when I was heavy using the phone (ie, playing asphalt and streaming music at the same time) and after enabling compache with this app the issue went away.
Also, it allows you to lower the CPU speed without affecting the phone performance too much, so it definitively helps to save a lot of battery.
Anyone willing in to give it a try, here is the link, i suggest setting Swapines to 15 after enabling compache:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7864538/SpareParts-4.apk
The phone seems to be more smooth, but may be a placebo effect.
Please give it a try and share your results.
BTW I am using CM 6.1.1 ROM Tweaked and with extras with custom Sysctl settings posted in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929448
PS.
You may also want to try changing the animation speed to fast (under original spareparts settings). The phone will feel a lot faster

Some of the settings will not work. Maybe a dev can mod the app and just leave the working settings. This version of the app was modded for another device.
I'm on wolfbreak's cm v 4.4 and this definitely made the phone.snappier...
I had to uninstall the original spare parts before installing this one or the compcache setting wouldn't stay after a reboot.
Thanks for this!
would not be fully functional since we are not allowed custom kernals
Sweet!
Thank you! This does have a lot more capabilities than the regular spare parts!!! Will tweek it and give feed back!!!
Best regards,
Chris

I see you are using 2.1 ROM. I am not sure if it will work in 2.1. I only tested it in 2.2. However, some of the settings are specific for the device this app was originally made for so they won't work for us (ie the status bar tweaks).

Soon after I bought the fire HD6 I quickly realized that upon installing an alternative launcher, the device would not allow you to set that launcher as default. Today I figured out a way around this issue and put together a quick video showing all the steps. This tutorial should work for all Fire devices spanning from the Fire HD6 and HD7. Before going through the tutorial I suggest you get ADB set up and working on the computer for your Fire device. Enjoy!

Help setting up ADB in Windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyJlmTtLsIg
Following this guide will make it so you cannot use the Amazon Book app. A way around this issue would be to side-load the Kindle app. But not any Kindle app, a hacked version I made with a different signature and package name. That way your device will allow the installation and will not downgrade each boot. Download the APK below to get your books working:

No problem! I do not know how to do that yet. I hope it is plausible
Thank You! This was driving me crazy
Since Amazon "upgraded" the OS to Fire 4.x.x this has been a problem.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Works for unrooted kindles as well.
Thank YOU!!!

Could you share what exactly you changed in the hacked Kindle app? AFAIK it's a pretty old version and I'd like to have a more recent one on my Kindle. Thanks a lot either way!

I basically just changed the package name and resigned it so that it will think it is a different app so it allows you to install it. I used apktool to decompile but had problems compiling till I removed some services from the Manifest file. I tried newer versions but could not get them to run without force closing.

I set up KK Launcher as my launcher but it cannot get it to rotate to landscape mode at all. Is this a problem with other launchers you guys are using or is it just me?

I use Apex and I can not get it to rotate either.
The best solution I've found so far is the app "Ultimate Rotation Control". It will allow you to manipulate the display as you see fit and even set parameters per app.
I got GEL working, but cannot set background pictures... Anyone else able to?

I believe this requires root.
I recently purchased a Fire HD 6 and this worked perfectly for me. Thank you for this. I chose to use Nova Launcher Prime as my default home launcher.

I forgot to revert to the stock dash before the last update (yesterday) and now I don't have ADB access. It just shows the device as 'offline' so I can't get it back to the stock dash and it's stuck at the Fire loading screen. It's the same in Windows/Ubuntu. Just a notice for anyone else to undo the custom dash before proceeding with the update.

oh god, you scared the **** out of me for a second - I had gotten the update but had never used adb since then. tried just now, and ... nothing.
but! then I remembered, I had turned adb off on the HD, lol. turned it on and all is well.
I am running Nova launcher, and have the real launcher permanently blocked, along with a few other things:

maybe your problem is something else? (or hopefully, maybe like me, just pilot error and usb debugging was turned off.)
I don't remember turning debugging off. I wouldn't have had any reason to disable it. I just assumed it was reset by the update. Either way, I had to do a factory reset to get it working again. To be honest, the custom dash was mostly a novelty. I'm happy enough with stock. Being able to use Google apps is all I'm worried about.
No body else appears to have mention having problems making widgets on your home screen. Every time I place a new widget it, just takes me to the main setting screen and on going back home there is no new widget.
I have been assuming that this is something else that requires root, but I thought I'd better check.
Thanks for kindlehack.apkill give it a try, ps use nova beta for wallpaper
