[Q] A question about ICS ROM CyberGR-MOD ver. 8.0

Hi
I would like to have asked this question on the development thread but as i'm a new member i'm not allowed.
I am currently using the CyberGR ROM, which i'm finding excellent. However I would like to use this mod to remap the search key to recent apps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21501238
This thread has mods for CM9 v3 or AOKP m3 or AOKP b26. I believe it only replaces android.policy.jar.
I would like to know whether i could use one of these mods with CyberGR-MOD 8.0? Does this ROM use android.policy.jar from any of the above versions?
Any help appreciated.

I cannot say for certain, but it might. The reason being that CyberGR-MOD is built on the CM9 and AOKP parts, as stated in the first bullet point of the main thread:
"Based and built-on from latest sources of CyanogenMOD 9 + AOKP Parts"
besides, it doesn't hurt to try it out yourself. download the mod, copy to your USB storage, do a NANdroid backup, and flash the mod to try it out. if something goes sideways, just restore the backup you just made.

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried this and con confirm that is does not work. I got into a boot loop after apply the mod for CM9 v3 and AOKP b26.
Hopefully this feature will be in the next CyberGR ROM version......

Ask 100 people that question and you'll get 100 different answers as to why one or the other is better. Doesn't take too long to install a new ROM, and trying them both out is the only way to determine which is best for you.
Failing that, the search button will yield tons of answers, and you probably should have used it first in this case.

I've used earlier versions of CM (on the OG Droid) and I liked it quite a bit. The major difference is that SkyICS (which I am currently using as well) is built on the TouchWiz (Samsung) sources, while CMx is built on the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) sources. CM is more "pure" Android with some tweaks done by their very good team. Both have benefits.
I haven't personally tried CM9 (waiting on AOKP JB or CM10 semi-stable).
Really it's up to you. It won't take any more time to install CM9 than it took to install SkyICS, if that is a concern. I haven't read anything about echoing on CM9 stable, but read up either on the cyanogenmod forums or here in our dev section.

I do not allow "best" threads. Read and try them out yourself and make that decision yourself.

Need 4.1.2 overclocked : CM10 problems ?

Hello,
I currently use the official 4.1.2 unrooted on my Wingray. I want now to overclock my Xoom, and if I understood well, I need to change my kernel.
So I checked the CM10 nighly thread and I saw there many people reporting problems with the Play store reporting softwares incompatibilities ...
Is this incompatibility problem only on Stingray or also on Wingray ?
Is the CM10.1 out for the Xoom and does it still have market incompatibility issue ?
Where can I get the CM10 (or 10.1) STABLE version ? I could only find the nightly release on XDA.
I am also interested in feedbacks from people gone from official 4.1.2 to CM10 release, I am very concerned by 2D fluidity (I don't care about 3D games) and I would like to know if CM10 when overclocked shows real fluidity improvements.
Thanks !

Here is a link to a cm10 stable build. Zig has done quite a bit of cool work to it. Cm10 had a few issues I didn't like. I got the actual cm10 ROM from goo manager and the main issues I had were no lock screen flip and volume controls don't flip with tablet. Check it out if you like.

[Q] Update app and other questions

Hi Guys, I am a NOOB here so pleeeeease dont scream at me, treat me gently
okay so I took to plunge to root my Sensation
all went really well thanks to all the things I have read on here,
I installed the rom:
CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean [KANG] [April-26]
I understand this version is a nightly rom and may have some issues,
My Camera doesn't show anything but a blank screen with a few icons on it, then it comes up with gallery not responding then camera is not working, can kinda live with that as I have installed CameraMX which seems to work,
My question is I have seen a few apps which will show / tell you if a new nightly rom has been released, can you tell me what is the best app to use with [ROM] CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean [KANG] [April-26]. I note that some apps say things like
"if you have just imported in CyanDelta a zip that you didn’t downloaded from get.cm, it’s almost certainly a unofficial CyanogenMod build that is not supported by CyanDelta."
any help would be great and sorry if it has already been covered else where
thanks
Dai

Newbie alert,
I see there is now a newer version of
[ROM] CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean [KANG] [May-1]
I am currently running April-26
so how / what is the easiest way to upgrade to May-1
sorry for the daft question

Trying to find best ROM. Need GPS!

Question #1: GPS
I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which has been long rooted and I've installed a few roms now on it. Recently I upgraded to Revolt 4+ which is my first attempt to find a Jelly Bean ROM that will work for me. Well, I love it. Only problem is that it seems it doesn't have GPS? Google Maps work but Navigation doesn't follow me which I'm guessing means it's using internet to "find" me. There's no GPS flashing icons nor are there any settings for GPS. Is there anyway to get it working or is it just not working for this ROM?
Question #2: Aries?!
Many of the roms mention "Aries's common bugs" but google searching it gives me nothing. Where can I find information about Aries?
Question #3: The latest fully-working ROM?
There are soooo many ROMs to choose from for the SGS4G that I don't know what to look for. I found and have been using THIS page but not sure how outdated/accurate it is. Anybody know the best/most recommended ROM right now that has all the main parts working? GPS, WIFI...etc? I know wifi calling always has issues but not important.
:good: to anybody who is able to help with any of the above!

Hi.
#1 All JB ROMs (meaning 4.1.2 and above) have Aries kernel.
it is faster than Herrig kernel used before, and should be more stable, but, no developer was able to make GPS work with it. so, there's currently no JB ROM with a working GPS.
#2 If you want a working GPS you will need ICS (4.0.3/4.0.4) ROM :
CM9/AOKP/Slim/MIUI/Ultragen etc.
I'm a MIUI freak so I can say I love HebMIUI which is an upgraded MIUI version I came up with. you can try it (see my signature) or any of the others I mentioned.

Slight addendum to #1. Not entirely true. Some of the earlier JB ROMs were still Herring. The various 4.2 Wifi-bugs were on Herring. Any ROM where they tell you to do the 4.1.2 JB if you wanted Wifi, it's a Herring kernel. For that matter, I believe we've only had compiled 4.2.2 and above Aries here. So if the ROM is 4.1.2 JB, it's Herring. If it's 4.2.2 without working Wifi, it's probably Herring. If it's 4.2.2 with Wifi or 4.3, it's probably Aries.
Agree on ICS/GB for GPS though. HebMIUI or Ultragen 1.01 (DO NOT USE ULTRAGEN 1.00 AND POST BUG REPORTS) are probably your best ICS options.

THANK YOU both for clearing up alot of stuff for me. Thank you x2 for itzik2sh for recommending HebMIUI. I have it installed and I love it sofar. Hopefully somebody figures out JB GPS eventually.
I'll still check back here if anybody else has anything else to throw in.
