1.) how do i install the Battery Glowing Crysis onto this rom (love the look of that battery mod)
( i tried this url http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282193 - but i am prompted for credentials upon attempting to download - also, i tried to install this mod from a different url, and was stuck into a boot lock, and had to revert from a backup - so i suppose im looking for a true, and tested way to get this battery mod, to function on the ROM listed above.
2.) on the dialer page, how do i get the quick launch at the top to show "contacts" instead of hitting the soft keys at the bottom?

Xloud On (Breaks Power Amp but adds atleast 4-6DB )
(what is "power amp" and what does it being broken signify? as in, to what extent does this cause other features, items to not function... as i've not yet installed this Addon- i could use the extra DB but not sure what "breaks the power amp" means)

2.) You don't. ICS removed that feature. I've seen some people say that they are working on modding it back in, but I have yet to see any success. Although, I could be mistaken... which would actually be great haha.

Poweramp is a music player that can be bought from the play store. That's all, it's not a super secret system type thing. It's a nice music player a lot of people use, so Sean made a way for it to work.

I thought xloud was removed due to being useless? I see that it's back (optionally). Is it worth breaking poweramp to use xloud? Cui bono?

help for old timer
OK guys. I'm old and can't keep up with all the updates and add -ins. I'm currently running Nexus mod but have been trying to follow sky ics because it does sound nice. Just wondering what opinions are? Is sky ics as good and stable as it sounds?

Better than it sounds. I've never had a problem with either sky's, if anything is unstable for a couple users Sean will throw it in an update. IMO its the best out there, but its all in what your looking for.

I am currently on the version 9 update and must say that I'm loving it. My only problem so far is I cannot get voice dial to work, but it didn't work under stock either so I'm not blaming the rom (I think its my headset)

awesome love it, like i was saying in the other topic, if you could just get the icons moreup to date to the actual epic gtalk, market, maps etc.. i would love it so much more. im just reallly ocd on the look of my phone, and i just realllly do not like the current icons even for the cm6 theme, just something about them.
and I know sense is a mess compared to stock android, but what is the chance of getting things like the dialer?
and lastly ( i know lots of q. but I LOVE the epics look) any chance of getting some of the epics sounds, like when you click on something on the epic the clicking sound instead of the evos?
screen shots would be very helpful

if your downloading directly from the evo
4shared for some reason has a problem with the evo
now you can still download it
just change to mobile version and download (might be the other way around and have to be desktop version)
and with that last piece of help i must sleep it's 12:30 AM yawn
if only we could get the best part of the touchwiz interface, the notification panel. this looks pretty nice though, be great for a senseless rom.
Got some boot looping (sense version). I wiped before flashing too. I did download to my computer then I transfered to SD card. Maybe its just my phone....
Very nice work though! Thanks!!! Ill keep my eye on the thread.
When can we expect the cm6 version?

i am actually focusing on the sense version atm but download mrcharlesiv's from his post i am basing mine off of his with few changes
changes being a little further themed
_____________________________________________________________________________
EDIT:
also will have an update later today if not tomorrow with a few changed things
and added a themed dialer and contacts (keeps original dialer also)
added media folder so has ringtones and notifications from epic (optional)
and i'm gonna set it up to remove some apk's like htc music, htc clock, htc lockscreen and mail as they are just duplicates and not needed to have multiple of them
will keep htc gallery as it links with camera
Great work on the theme. I love this when I was on cm6 and missed it when I switched to Fresh. I have a couple of questions though. How would I make the notifications bar clear, when you pull it down? Is ther anyway to get the the battery with the number read out like the cm6 rom?
Is there a way to load this without all the AOSP apps?
yeah the galaxy s notification bar would be amazing, but seems hard, i just would prefer an updated icon pack.

well i did put out an update just now
the app icons are not really changed from what they were (as they are the same as epic with some from the galaxy) and the galaxy s notification bar with the shortcuts is beyond my knowledge so i didn't do that
things changed
removed htc lockscreen (now vanilla lock)
removed htc clock
removed htc deskclock
removed htc Music
removed Mail (still have Email though)
removed htc contacts (People)
kept Htc Gallery as it links to camera
added epic4g themed dialer/contacts
added media as requested (from epic 4g system dump)
changed a few icons but almost all are the same
and i think thats all hope i didn't leave anything out
EDIT: looking into putting the Stock Android Browser in it +themed (i Can NOT stand the sense browser) -ACCOMPLISHED
EDIT2: apperently i can only get the contacts and dialer to show up if i flash something else first then flash this over it so i'm kinda stumped so i'm trying to get that fixed up
I HATE ISSUES LIKE THIS!
they do work but have to be installed differantly (contacts and phone)
_________________________________________________
CM6 release is gonna push back a little as flashing it causes battery to display as just a question mark battery on nightly 9/7
i was wondering, say i apply the all theme and you have an update later, can i just flash the update over the current one? or will doing that mess it up?
also i tried flashing the theme over fresh's new 2.2 rom and no go. just keeps cycling at the fresh evo boot screen

alright i have at least the theme and media out now for OTA but flashing apps causes boot-loop
and i have been on cyanogenmod recently so i did not follow sense Roms and was unaware that an OTA was released
i have several problems in the theme that i have separate fixes for but i am hoping to get it incorporated into the actual theme later on
and now that there is an ota i will focus on that rather then the older one but will at least fix it when i have time
and with this update on progress i'm gonna take a break for a while
Looking really nice. I was wondering, is it possible to just pull the App drawer from the Epic4G/Galaxy S to replace the one in Sense? I like the horizontal scrolling for apps, but would like to stick to Sense for everything else. What do ya think?

[ROM-REQ] Ultimate Galaxy S - xda community based rom

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!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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

After using miui...

After using miui I can't go back to any other. The features and functionality of this ROM is just beyond what I ever thought would be possible in an android device.
Their slogan is "Redefining Android" and they surely are.
I was on the fence if I should try this ROM or not since Weapon was pretty awesome too , but after trying this one I'm not looking back.
Thanks goes to Whitehawkx, Segnaro, Jface for making this happen.
****Note****: if themes are not working for you is because you need to go to /data/system and create a folder called theme.
Sent From My G2x running MIUI
Let's post the functionality that this ROM has for those that aren't sure what "we" are talking about.
I will post what I remember and then If you guys remember any other feature post it, then I'll update this post with the feature you posted.
Themes - can be downloaded directly from ROM and apply within the ROM. You can theme things separately like the dialer, status bar, toggles, icons, lock screens, messaging app, etc. You can dip all this with the theme manager engine they use. Ability to change fonts within ROM without restarting phone.
Features -
Dialer - record calls and take notes within the dialer during a call. Two big features I always wanted.
Dialer also works as a T9 keyboard
Browser - scroll up and down with volume rockers (pretty cool), hitting the back button actually goes back, not like other browsers.
Screenshots - by pressing menu+ vol down
Settings - Redesigned setting menu with added features and tabs to categorize each setting menu.
Ability to track data usage
Integrated app killer and app manger by long pressing the home key also by long pressing the back key, closes the app completely.
Lock screen - hold down home button will turn on torch
Toggles - when long pressing a toggle, it will open that toggle setting screen.
Camera - added features like Sutter control, zoom in screen, adjustable brightness on screen, touch to focus and redesigned camera skin.
A whole bunch more that I'm sure I'm forgetting or don't know about.
Keep posting features below!

Dude I totally agree, this rom is just amazing it pretty much uses the same kernel As cm so u know the speed is there, it actually feels a little more fluid. And on any other rom when u go to change the lockscreen or even launcher, u have to do a little , "work" and u have to be a little tech savvy for that part, but with miui they make it so damn easy someone coming from the razor could do it LOL , and there is so much options to choose from, **** sitting on latest kernel source, voodoo, and some badass 3d animations, very cool rom oh and moshe22 when u hit back with the browser it actually goes back a page u don't have to hit it a zillion times, the volume scroll is badass

I used MIUI on my G2 or vibrant, can't quite remember. I liked it a lot, but the battery life was so poor I couldn't stick with it. How is it on our phones? I don't need 15 or 20 hours or anything, but wouldn't mind something decent.
Also, are there different ports of MIUI for our phone? If so, are they all pretty much the same? Thinking I'm gonna give MIUI another shot, but want to use the version available that will leave the best taste in my mouth.

What do you wipe?
The way I do it is: Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, /system and then flash ROM, fix permission and the enjoy
Sent From My G2x Running MIUI
yeah I wipe dalvic cache, cache, system.. multiple times just for safety, but i havnt fixed permisions.. i will search out 1.8.12 and give it a shot
Been running Miui since last August/September, whenever it was ported to Evo. Sans CM its by far the fastest, smoothest, most stable rom out there. I haven't seen any reason to switch since it was released for G2x. I'm still on 1.7.26, and dont feel the need to upgrade. Thats how good Miui is.
On my G1 I was flashing roms every day. Moved to Evo/NS and flashed once or twice a week.
On my G2x? I think I've flashed mayyybe 4 roms since 4/20. Why? Cause anything LG touches turns to poop. No offense to all the bomb devs, but CM/Miui are the only things worth running on this phone. I dont get why anyone even wants to run a stockish build when CM/Miui are so much better in every single aspect.

Any way to get the page in the browser to open in overview instead of zoomed in.
Also the keyboard closes just randomly... very weird. I love this rom too so far but this issue sucks..
Go to settings> programs> browser settings> Advanced> web page> page zoom setting> far

Another cool feature: press and hold down the home key, app killer and app manager will open for you, press app killer and kills anything running.
Press and hold the back key in an app and closes the app completely instead of running in the background.

Which MIUI 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.

I love the responsiveness and the fluid movement from app to app. And yeah, you need to install SuperUser. You should probably add it to the ROM in the next release, since it's one of the most widely used app. You don't have to though if you prefer not to. Just let people know.
next update ill be sure to add it

hey guys.. any of yaw mac users? i downloaded the file but it is placed in my download folder as a "folder" and not a .zip. tried downloading twice with same result. anywhoo i tried even placing the folder on my sd card to try to install but 4ext (most recent) doesn't see it. can yaw assist without my needs hijacking this thread? thanks
I loaded it on my Inspire and it Look(ed) really nice runs pretty good so far but the character set changed from English. How do i change it back to English? I cant read the language. How do i remove the Chinese letters and go back to english for good.
Rom looks very slick and gorgeous, I like it. Yes, it still need more polish with the language dictionary and UI. I will keep this one for at least a week to see how will manage battery consumption and signal.
you guy talking about the keyboard ?

Yes, the keyboard has some chinese text and there is also chinese text in other parts of the settings.
Looks really nice. Will report back after some more use.
Is there a way to remove the green battery icon on the top left?
Sent from a dream.
There is chinese text in allot of place. In the setting where you set data limit. The keyboard. Also sometime the predictive text comes up with chinese letters.
OK thanks for the feedback will work on when I get home and I saw that there is a new update for the rom will work on it
OK for keyboard go to settings ' lauguage and keyboard setting Google Pinyin and toggle Chinese prediction off and I'll look into settings in a little while
For the green battery icon just go into skakes battery booster and go into settings and toggle notification off
Just noting a few bugs I've found.
-in settings, system, cpu overclock, available cpufreq governors it will stay checked for interactive even when changing it. Sometimes there wouldn't be a checkmark showing. But when you check the cpu info it will show whatever was changed.
-in notification settings it's all in chinese characters.
-with the pull down menu/notifications or whatever it's called, under switch, flash light doesn't work. If you long press it it fc's the whatever you call the pull down thing.
-downloaded the update for the dx battery boost but it will not install.
-when choosing the motorola or mooke theme, it changes but then fc's right after clicking the menu button. Did not try the ics theme.
If anyone needs the htc ime keyboard here you go. This is the black one. Works quite well. Let me know if you want the white one.

Edit: is there a way to improve the wifi? Seems to be weak with slow download speeds.
Love the rom, gonna keep this one. Keep up the good work.
