I really would love it if someone could upload all the APKs found in the stock system of EP1W. I'm on Infinity Beta, and I want to replace the browser with the stock one because its a lot smoother. I also want to relace the MyFiles app so I can use that for my non-root needs (I use it because all the free non root file managers are ugly and I prefer to use it over Root Explorer which is what I use for root files). And I may want to add other apps that I don't remember off the top of my head.
Thanks!!
I don't have the one's from EP1W anymore, but I have the one's from EP3HA, which will also work, and are either the same as the EP1W or should in theory be improved. They are uploading now, I'll update my post when they are ready.
EP3HA Stock Apks
There you go.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
The only reason I asked for EP1W over EP3, was because I thought they wouldn't work, but they are supposed too, so I get the best of both worlds: My favorite rom and the newest apps!
Thanks again!
Quick Question about the broswer:
In the browser from EP3, it doesn't actually scroll or pinch to zoom, it just shows up afterwards. This happened on a different EP3 rom (Humble, I believe), but not on stock EP3, does it need any special libs or something? Or is it just the EP3 browser when put on a different rom?

I tried it on stock, works fine, actually works very well compared to the older versions the phone had. It even has overscroll glow effect (of course its yellow...) I don't know why it wouldn't work with other roms.

No, it did work, it just didn't show scrolling or zooming. It just showed what happened afterwards. Which is useless because then you don't know where your zooming or scrolling to.
But, it doesn't really matter, imnuts said to expect an updated Infinity rom based off of EP3, I just hope he uses the stock browser. I love the TW 4 theme and its the fastest gb rom (to me), so even if he does, I'm still going to use it.

OK, I've searched for days to try and find a fast, stable, sense-ui (Theme-wise) ROM that works on the HTC Hero. I've found tons of ROMS for the G1, I've tried the CyangenMod 6 ROM, I've spent hours searching for a good ROM. CM6 is a bit faster, but occasionally it will hang. (A bit better than stock 2.1) I don't like that a lot of apps don't work (After downloading an app and installing it, you can't click open or find it in your apps list) and I don't like that the fact that you can't group your contacts or have the Sprint/HTC widgets work. (The only widgets I use are the clock and the email, messages, and voice mail widgets that show how many you received.
Please let me know if you use one like that you can recommend.

For a good sense UI rom I would go with Zen rom. You can find it here.
I've been using this rom NFX-Hero 2.2.1 by nfinitefx45. After playing with other roms and the cyanogen ones, i've come back to this one. I've been running this for a couple weeks and it's pretty smooth and stable. So give it a try. Also, nfinitefx45 is one dedicated developer, he actually visits the thread often and help with answering questions, solving problems/bugs!

+1 nfinite's roms are put together well and are fast yet also solid.
I'm using the cyanogen rom. CM6. It's actually running android 2.2 (froyo) instead of 2.1, and I think it has a better keyboard and runs very well. I use the "digital clock widget", and the weather and "news and weather" widget, I think both are available in the Market, but News and weather came with the rom. I miss the bookmarks and calendar widgets from Sense, but its not worth going back. As far as voicmail goes I'm using google voice to handle my it, and there are widgets for it too.

I use CM6 as well, and prefer it over any sense rom but the OP wanted sense so I thought I'd humor myself
The CM6 with CyanogenSense theme looks and feels like my stock Hero, but runs way faster and has a better battery life. Zen makes a great rom, bit imo the CM6 is the way to go.

I've decided to try making a theme using the tutorial thread number 667951. (I can't post links yet I don't think, so again I'll just use this work around.) That being said, I've decided to stick with NFX-HERO for my ROM since the only thing wrong with it is the boot loop issue which I'm going to try starting from scratch to fix it today. So, the tutorial says that a good starting point for a theme would be to get an existing compatible theme and modify that one. (Great idea in my opinion. I've done this in the past with other phones I had.) Does anyone have an idea of a theme that would be useful for me to start off with? I want to change a lot of things on the phone, so the more intricate the theme is, probably the better.
Also, on a side note, if I remember correctly this thread had 3 pages before the site went down. I'm not sure why it was truncated. If any mods know why, please let me know.

i used a theme called blue echo to learn where most things go. and in his rom there is a great vending apk that has the market themed as well. then i took a dialer from one of godzen's and moved it all to compare to my stock 2.1 files and made it work with a rom i am currently running. im just now getting into looking at the apps like clock etc but that was a good start for me since there is alot covered there.
OK, let me ask you this. It'll clear up some things I need to know on compatibility. What makes a theme compatible with one ROM and not another? Likewise, what makes an app compatible with one ROM and not another? Is it the structure? If so, how? I'm a computer programmer, but even though android phones are quite similar to a Linux system on a PC, I'm still not sure if I understand the compatibility issues behind themes.
Also, just so I don't have to post again to ask this in case it's relevant, are Blue Echo and GodZen's dialer compatible with NFX? I downloaded them, but it never said anything about NFX. Is NFX similar to Sprint's 2.1 in the sense that it will run any themes I make for NFX?
well the Rom im using is mostly stock so the framework and htc.resource files are the same. for say CM6 (and i havent looked into it just a example) may have say the status bar grey and i want black. in the stock i would change the statusbar_bkg file in the framework.apk folder but in CM6 it may be in the same plae with a different name or the same name in a different place or just non existent all together. as for if they are compatible the only way to know is to try. the only way to know for sure is to open them compare and replace what you need in the correct order. also i use metamorph to apply themes. you can find it in the market. but the Vending.apk theme must be pushed with adb for some reason or it will crash the market.
matter of fact now that i think of it, the Rom im using is about to incorporate NFX. go here and you an see my post where i put what i transfereed over and they should work as i think NFX is mostly a stock (so to speak) Rom.

You are using a Hero, right? Not a G1? That would explain the boot loop issue you had with NFX.
NFX-HERO was listed in the Hero ROMs section. You sure it's only for G1? Would another phone's ROM actually even flash to a different phone properly? I mean it works, but with boot loops.
Yes they will but may it may not work. And I'm sure that Rom is for a hero and I would flash over and look for myself but I have been threw like 5 Rom's today and just got it back normal lol.

OK, so today I had a chance to wipe and flash the NFX-HERO ROM again. Now the phone seems a bit more stable. I can boot it and it boots all the way up fine and I can click "Shutdown Phone" and have it shutdown without freezing and rebooting, but now right now I've spotted only one flaw. When I use the phone in disk drive mode, but then pull the USB out of the phone without switching it back to charge only, and it freezes and reboots on me. (This happened last time.) I've also noticed that the phone gets increasingly more unstable as time goes on, so I wouldn't doubt that it would do this even more later on.
Correction, no matter what I do, to remove the USB when I use it as a disk drive, the phone freezes and reboots.
Update again: I decided to use RegawMod instead. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661991) It's super fast, no bugs from what I can see, highly compatible, and it looks slick! I even used a mod to turn my dialer pink. lol I can see this being my ROM of choice for a long time. The only thing I didn't like was that it was lacking the Google Navigation tools, so I installed GoogleApps.apk (If you're looking for this file, just Google GoogleApps.apk) from another ROM and rebooted me phone (So it would show up) and then it worked just fine. I'm not sure why it isn't showing local listings for destinations first, but that may be just because it didn't catch the GPS location right off the bat. I did set my location settings to being shared.
There is a pink theme in 2.1 catalog if i remember right. If you like pink that might be a good start for you to move the files around to see how they are built.

Yeah, NFX is a Hero ROM, I was asking if you were trying to flash it on a G1, because if you were, it wouldn't work.
I like Regawmod 2.1. Fast with a nice dark theme. Based off of damage control. Just my two cents.

Hi guys. I got my hands on some DI14 files from the Mesmerize and decided to cook up a ROM. This ROM is very lightweight (removed as much touchwiz stuff as I could), and is very similar the version I have released for the Fascinate.
[warning]THIS IS ONLY FOR THE USCC MESMERIZE!!! DON'T FLASH ON ANY OTHER PHONE!!! IF YOU DO, I WILL LAUGH AT YOU!!![/warning]
Features:
Latest versions of :
Google Maps
ADWLauncher
Google Voice
Google Street View
Superuser
YouTube
Aosp or additional apps:
DeskClock
FileManager
Gallery3D
Mms
Music Player
Other stuff:
bash / bmlunlock / busybox / nano / redbend_ua / strace binaries are included
fully functional terminfo for bash
lots of extra ringtones/sounds pulled from aosp
SGS boot and shutdown animations
LOTS of stuff removed, don't have a list, sorry.
Also included in the package is a custom kernel, which allows use of aosp style bootanimations (among other things) and has been optimized for speed and reliability. - kernel has been removed
Enjoy.

WARNING: I do not have a Mesmerize so I cannot test anything myself. This ROM has been tested by a few people, but, if you have issues try wiping data, otherwise, please let me know of any bugs. Thanks.
testing now...
Flashed this a few minutes ago. Seems much snappier than stock. JT, can't thank you enough. I'll report back after I've used it a bit.
~Sophos
about to test it thanks
seems to work well the lock screen seems quicker but im having some pauses when in some apps. was wondering the name of the twitter and facebook feed app that comes standard on mesmerize liked that app but found it was missing in this rom
8hrs and going well. Couldn't get custom boot animation or BLN to work with kernel update so I flashed back to the 1130 kernel. Once I finish the final touches on this boot animation I'll upload it.

They are missing because they are bloat. Hence the "Super" in Super Clean ROM. The less in it from the start, the cleaner the build. There can and will be variations to this ROM, I'm sure, now that JT has been kind enough to give us a starting point. The pauses you are experiencing, I believe, are writes. When a ROM is deodexed, the .odex files are placed back into the apk for various reasons, including themes, causing the system to have to have to perform a few extra writes to cache. This should speed up as you use your phone. As I said, I believe this is correct, but I'm still learning so this may not be exactly what is happening. In testing the previous builds, I noticed the same thing and that this went away with use.
The only thing that I see as an issue is BLN doesn't appear to work. Oh well. Maybe in a future build.
Any way to get the original messaging working i like the way it shows the messages and maybe your navigator from uscc.

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

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.

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.

Looking for the stock browser.apk from ep4d. I would appreciate if someone could share that with me. Thanks!
If you want a deodexed version of the browser, note that it will almost certainly not work on my ROM, and that, if the previous leaks were any indication, it's going to perform like crap once deodexed.
Alright gotcha. Notice the aosp browser scrolling and pinch zoom is not nearly as smooth as the stock ep4d browser although I do like the ability to open the window and actually close the browsing sessions with the "x" button.

FWIW, I'm actually using InfinityROM (latest release) with a deodexed Browser.apk that I got from within the CWM package found here and replaced the AOSP Browser.apk in /system/app (using Root Explorer), set permissions to rw-r--r--, rebooted, and it works as well as I can remember. I believe it's the HW acceleration that achieves the fluid scrolling/panning/zooming and I'm glad it worked out for me (nice ROM and nice browser together).
Here's the Browser.apk I pulled from that deodexed EP4D CWM package if you want to try it yourself (don't forget to backup the old one if anything screws up). YMMV! Hope it works out for you flyinj54.
If you use that browser.apk, and clear browser data, it is likely that it's no longer going to work as an FYI. A few framework changes needed to be made to get the AOSP Browser to work in the ROM.

Do you mean clearing the browser data in Applications > Manage applications?
I just tested that out to see what would happen and it seems that the stock Browser.apk is still working fine for me. I just cleared the data again and rebooted the phone to check and it's still working for me. I don't know if I'm doing something magical or if my phone is going to randomly explode someday, but I'm content with how it is.
If there's any other tests you can think of to break the functionality of this browser, let me know and I'll give them a shot as well.
One thing that I may have done but I'm not sure made any difference whatsoever is replaced the libwebcore.so file in /system/lib as well. If I remember correctly, that file has the same file size in both the stock ROM and InfinityROM, but I'm not entirely sure that they are identical.

Probably not, I think the browser is designed for this phone only.
I always run Opera Mobile because of how smooth of it so I never tryed stock EP4D till today. I was shocked that it was Iphone smooth. Heck it was smoother than opera.
Was hoping that it would work on my kindle fire :<
Yeah, I'm actually always surprised when I go into a Best Buy and play with all the newer non-Samsung Android phones (even dual-core) and finding out that the browser on my Charge is way smoother because of the HW acceleration. Maybe they're just skipping HW acceleration on Gingerbread and working on it for ICS, who knows...
I just got a TF101, and it came with ICS.
Should I flash a custom rom? Like "Android Revolution 3.1.0"?
Does it actually make it run smoother and have better battery life?
If I did flash a custom rom, I'd want it to have full dock support, and I kinda like the stock File Manager app, maybe I could copy the .apk and install it on the custom rom?
So far the stock rom seems fine, but it has shut off, like twice, for no apparent reason. Once when an app locked up, and another, when I came to it, it had rebooted on its own.
If you're happy with the stock ROM theres no real need to change it. The reboots wont go away.
But to answer your question: Most of the custom roms support full keyboard dock, but some of the roms does not come with ASUS Keyboard.apk, which is needed to get all functions working on the dock (the buttons for wifi, bt etc).
You can take a backup of asus keyboard before you flash a new rom, if you want. But you need root for that.
Imo, most (if not all) custom roms are a lot faster than the stock. There are also kernels available that allows you to overclock, which in turn helps improving the performance.
Better battery life... This is more depending on what youre doing than what rom youre using. But custom roms normally comes with a lot less bloatware, which helps to speed up the device as well as increase the battery life. By how much I can not say.
I havnt actually noticed any difference, but I didnt stay on stock long enough to actually measure.
But I get around 8-10h from the tablet alone with my normal usage. If I decide to game a whole day I get around 6h.
The stock filemanager is actually crap, and I dont recommend it. But if you really want it you can indeed take a backup of it and install it on the custom rom.
But I still recommend using some other file manager. My personal favorite is ES File Explorer.
I have used ES file manager.. eh, it just doesn't grab me. I like Ol file manager better than ES.. but the stock one seems to be pretty good for me [for just moving files]. I haven't used it too much so maybe down the road I will find out it lacks features that I need..
Anyway, So how about CM9? [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525148 ] I just realized how much I missed the cyanogenmod options after just upgrading my Fascinate to THS build 7.1, like the Battery with text percentage, stuff like that.
Does that have the Keyboard apk, and is it pretty much stable? how about Hardware video playback?
And yeah I have rooted & have TitaniumBackup.
Never tried CM for the TF so cant comment on that. At all.
But EOS got a setting that adds text % next to the battery icon, as well as a setting to hide the icon. It can also hide the clock if you want that.
H/W video playback is ok (not perfect) up to 720p [email protected] Anything higher than that pretty much requires S/W decoding.
1080p is just a no-go no matter what you do. They wont even open with H/W decoding.
EOS does not come pre-installed with asus keyboard. Since its an AOSP rom it doesnt come with any asus apps, and I think the same goes for CM.
So you're gonna have to install the keyboard etc yourself, but that shouldnt be much of an issue (I actually cant comment on that as I dont have the dock myself).
Edit: heres a link for the asus keyboard for the AOSP roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542502

I think that I'll do a backup and then flash cm9. Their ICS roms have always been pretty good [though I've only used their ICS Fascinate roms lol, and CM7 on a Droid X2].. and I read the change log and it looks like it has the ASUS keyboard. And I think I'll flash the Guevor kernel, and see how it goes. Thanks
