Pointless thread.

The only think that The update is good for is the source code.

just updated. now ill wait for some ROMs to finally start flashing.

Its been available, only people who will upgrade to it are on stock anyways.

How is it ? I'm running. Firefly 2.2 suckerpunch kernel # 51 and a theme by darky u think its worth for me to flash back to stock and upgrade

If you ask me, not a chance.

basically upgrade if you're bored. its for folks who dont want to flash custom roms more or less. all the customized stuff the devs on here offer is way better than official 2.2
all in all not worth it. still havent found a lagfix yet but have figured out how to root/install cwm
now i wait for the first dev to create a rom i can test

I'm only curious if gps is actually better, but sounds like it's not. Shocking...

There's a whole thread full of posts from people who already upgraded. The title is secret, though, so you might have missed it. It has the words "Official Froyo" in it.

If you haven't tried it, how do you know if it's better or not?
You might want to see this post. Supercurio, who developed SPeedMod, has injected Voodoo Lagfix into the Rogers Froyo Kernel, it will work for AT&T Froyo. I have better speeds and performance than on any custom ROM or SpeedMod. Try it out.

Have you tried getting into LBS test mode and resetting your GPS Data?
*#*#3214789650#*#*
Then select delete GPS Data
Also, first locks on new software take longer the first time. If you do the above, it should help.

Didn't take longer when I flashed Cog or supernova.
I didn't flash KB1 but not surprised there are still issues. GPS data, servers and all that won't fix broken hardware.

Well, maybe just give it a try. It can't hurt.
I guess we're lucky in Canada, haven't seen anyone here with these GPS issues.

You guys act as if these custom roms are without bugs. I have flashed many of them and im back on stock because there is always something wrong. besides its not that hard to remove the bloatware yourself. My gps hasnt ever worked on any custom rom dont know if it will on knew one since it wont let me upgrade. problems with call logs showing incorrectly or problems with txt, bt crashes. I have no problems on stock at all, removed all att stuff and it is the way i want it, I dont even use the themes that come with em only a few i seen that i liked and had to buy seperately to make it complete.

Well put. Custom ROMs are basically skinned stock I9000/2.2 ROMs anyway, with bloatware stripped out, other functionality added, and custom kernels and modems.
The beauty of a stock ROM, rooted, with boatware removed(TiBu) and a voodoo injected kernel is better stability, functionality, and reliability. A lot of people here who use custom ROMs have never had access to a native 2.2 stock ROM, and thereby have nothing to compare it to, yet they are stating that custom ROMs are better than 2.2 stock, but how would they know? They've never tried it. Why not try it out? We already have a working 2.2 kernel with Voodoo Lagfix, and I can't say it enough: for me, better speeds, better reliability, faster performance, etc.
However, I'd like to see what happens when we can start making custom ROMs based on 2.2 rather than I9000 though. Non of this wishy washy kernel/modem compatibility etc. It will be better for everyone.

[App Request] TouchWiz Task Manager

I just installed the new EP4 Debloated, Deodexed, and Rooted ROM and I don't have the TouchWiz Task Manager. I'm wondering if someone can post the APK for it.

I take a look after I get off work and see if I can find it.

One of the roms I've ran had a link with all the Samsung Widgets they took out. I wanna say it was in there. But it was listed on the first post. May browse thru all the rom OP's and look for the download

maybe this is it. just unzip and install apk
Edit......I'm pretty sure this is it

Somebody downloaded it......was that it

It worked for me, thanks

dont install it, just place it in /system/app
whoever debloated took it out. always better to use a bloated and use titanium to debloat yourself.

Why is it "always better"??
I recently installed the debloated/deodexed version of the latest leak and I love it.
That task manager was really the only thing I missed and it took about 10 seconds to install it.
~John

I used the term always better in the sense that you have full control over what stays and what doesn't. Debloated roms are great, but they aren't always a reflection of what a user truly wants or may need from a rom.

Anyone get this to work with ics? It's the only thing I miss from touchwiz.

[q] give me the skinny!!

Yo, ... I see a lot of trash ROM's for this phone. They all seem to have bugs. Is there a ROM out there that takes out the bloat and will allow me minor customization?
Or, can you point me in the right direction to a ROM that allows me to USE all the FEATURES my phone has.
(What good is ROM if you can't use SMS message?)
Thanks!

Sure, if you don't want custom rom, your best bet is Stock FP1 bloated with just root. Then download ICS theme/locker (or what ever theme you like, even eclipse theme) and use Go launcher EX from the market. This will give you trouble free and stable phone.

THANKS!

Freezing when unlocked

My friend has this phone. She's always had freezing issues with it, but I got running better with a custom kernel, ext4, and cwm but now at times when she goes yo unlock it it'll freeze up and she has to pull the battery. It's better then freezing up all the time but still not a good thing.
Anyone have tips or fixes?

Nope, I wanted to make things as similar to stock as possible and just smooth things out.

Should I root my m8?

Hi all, I have had HTC One M8 for a month now and I just love it.
The only thing I would like to know that if I installed a custom rom would my phone function better?
I honestly got sick of installing roms on my old Galaxy S3, and every time I find something that I don't like in that rom or a bug.
Please help me deciding.

Just because you root doesn't mean you need to install a custom rom.
Rooting and keeping stock ROM will allow you to tweak the stock rom to your liking. You can use any number of tools like the Xposed mods, tasker scripts, themers, etc. The possibilities are endless.
I have always rooted and tweaked the stock ROMS until late in the device life when I won't be getting the next version of Android. Then I load a custom ROM.

To me, the biggest advantage of rooting is removing bloatware (apps you don't want.) There's no need to install a custom ROM if you don't want to do so but there are advantages to custom ROMs, several already have much of the bloat removed.
They probably won't make your phone function better.

Very good point, I love how responsive my phone is, and I also like the way the stock rom feels and looks. Now I will consider rooting it.

If you are keeping the stock ROM do NOT remove the bloatware if it is a system file. (Most of them are) If you remove them you will not be able to take the OTA updates from your carrier until you restore them. You are better off disabling them or using Titanium Backup to Freeze them. That way they are easily reversed so you can take the OTA update.

titanium back up freeeze/uninstall

I used to crack flash back on my Galaxy Nexus. I had the M8 for about a month before I rooted and S'Offed. I'm hesitant to flash a full custom ROM as of yet because stock plus Xposed is keeping me extremely happy. For me, the Xposed framework and modules is such a great setup because it allows me to pick and choose which tweaks I want.

Was gonna remain stock till I downloaded an xposed mod that messed up my wifi (possibly due to having a feature another xposed module was handling turned on) . Instead of reflashing and adding all the tweaks and flash zip to a stock ROM, I went ahead and flashed cleanrom which is basically debloated with all the tweaks/mods I already previously had and wanted.
Cleanrom plus the xposed modules like sense6 toolbox, gravity box, XSense, etc make staying stock or stock-ish a very glamorous option

Sounds like what you want is some good old fashioned CleanROM :good:

Edit just read the most recent post right after posting this. Oh well. You'll love CleanROM though. Had it for about a month (practically a record for me and roms) and I love it. Gpe is also pretty stable may try that it he future 'cause I heart aosp but other than that I see no reason to use anything but CleanROM
