Hi, I got a G2 yesterday =] I have a couple of questions.
I rooted my phone and put the cyanogen rom on it and it works fine but i dont understand whats so great about it. I liked the Stock one better. So I wanted to know whats the best rom out right now.
Another question is how do i properly Unroot the phone if i want it dead stock again? I didnt think about unrooting before i rooted =/.
Aaaaaand my last question. I want to have music controls on my locked screen so i can just hit the lock button once and be able to control the music. Is that possible?
Thats it for now. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

1. cm has settings and more control over what the phone does. go back to stock if you like - try enomther's official (search for it)
2. read the wiki on how to unroot your phone. (seach for it - or look up)
3. music controls in cm settings....
4. search before you post your next question.
Dang fast reply. My bad. and thanks a lot.
I would try a sense ROM it makes Android way better in my opinion. Stock is great and all but it all depends on what you like :]

My girlfriend just bought a refurbished A100. It arrived with ICS 2 days before the OTA was due. At first I was like GREAT! but upon further investigation I found it had the camera and speaker bugs reported in earlier leaked versions. So I looked at the build number and sure enough its an old build (.002).
Now my dilemma is do I wait for the OTA in a couple of days or do I use the stock ICS (.014) downloaded in the Dev section.
Now my girlfriend has watched me live through the agony and ecstasy of flashing roms and kernels on my Galaxy Tab and Revolution and does not want me to root her Acer.
I have searched the A100 forums and it appears you can flash this w/out root through stock recovery. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I can't seem to find very clear cut directions but here is what I think I need to do someone please tell me if I understand correctly.
1.rename downloaded zip to update.zip
2. put on root of external sd card (anywhere in particular)
3. turn tab off
4. turn tab back on by holding power and volume down
5. let go of power button and continue to hold volume down
6. let go of volume down when Android w/ gears icon appears
7. let it do it's thing
8.profit!
I'm a noob to Acer but not Android in general. Please any advice would be appreciated as I REALLY don't want to F-Up my Girlfriends new baby.
I know you feel buddy, my girlfriend inherited my old HTC Desire, which she loves but, doesn't love it when I say "I have a new ROM for you!" She loves having ICS though so go figure!
Yeah you've got it all right, it might take a few times to get into the stock recovery, it drove me mad ha ha, no harm done though just a bit fiddly to get the button combo every time.
the .014 release is the ICS to flash as it has full touch support with games.

Thank you for your quick reply toyface. Just another quick couple of questions.
Does the screen lock button need to be in any particular position when doing the stock recovery flash?
Is there any particular folder or place on the sdcard that I have to put the update.zip?
If I decide to wait on the OTA, will it go right over the old ICS build or will having the old ICS interfere with that?
Thanks again.
The stock rom in the development section is the same as the ota update, so your tab won't find a new update as it will already be installed. As for flashing, your steps are correct, but make sure you hold the volume button closest to the power button and you should be good. Hope this helps!

Everything went smooth as silk. I have now have a happy girlfriend with a happy tablet, therefore I am a happy man. Thanks for the help!
Hello people!
I have not long been using AOKP for very long, but i can say overall i love it, i have a few issues though.
I am aware of course it is a unofficial ROM and to expect it to run perfectly would be ridiculous and i was hoping if anybody had experienced anything similar and had any solutions?...
- My headphone jack has 100% stopped working since installing is ROM, i even reinstalled an old backup of MIUIv4 and it was working fine so it defiantly isn't the hardware.
- Black screen notifications, if i received an IM like whatsapp or even a SMS my led would light up and the screen backlight will turn on but its just a black screen?
- Fail to unlock screen first time around, now this doesn't happen all the time, maybe 30-40% of the time, but ill press the unlock button... the backlight will turn on but again its just a black screen, so i have to re-lock and unlock again and it will 100% work the second time... its kind of annoying.
Other than that the ROM works fine for me, i really don't want to lose the JB OS... is there a stable alternative maybe? or hopefully a simple fix.
By the way is based on their latest build.
Thanks!

thanks for that man... im gonna read a little more into but it seems like the best choice... will defiantly check it out!
UPDATE: ive given the ROM a go and i must say its a lot more stable than i thought it would be when its a "mishmash" of different ROMs put together.
i still have the headphone jack issue thought, i read a few other forums that people are experiencing using ROMs based on CM10... have you not had this issue?
I am truly sorry for creating another thread but after searching I wan't able to find the answer to the questions I have. Hopefully someone can help me so here goes, I have a Verizon gnex that was previously running stock 4.1.1, as of now I'm running JBSourcery 4.5. Now my questions are as follows,
1. How do I take a screen shot, in stock form it was power button and volume down. That doesn't seem to work now.
2. I was rooted and unlocked (obviously) but was wondering if I still needed to follow the directions below
9)Goto mods and download emergency recovery(instructions in rom)

3. Also how can I check to make sure I am not in tablet UI and if I am how do I go back to phone UI?
Thanks in advance for any advice you all may have!

Try sourcery control panel.there you can find power option for screen shot, so after holding power button, you will see screen shot menu.
I guess you will notice your resolution, but anyway you can find settings for tablet mode under sourcery control panel too.
I am not using this Rom currently, but you can get more information within their forum here.Try search for sourcery

thanks
after a day or two of running the ROM I am much more comfortable with it. I figured out how to change tabletUI and do a screenshot. Pretty cool ROM and I feel like it has just enough setting to make it your own but not to many where a person gets confused.
thanks again for the reply.

1. Press and hold volume down and power (this is standard in Android)
2 & 3. Don't know as I use CM 10.1
has anyone running Sourcery ROM ran into a battery issue. I could run almost the whole day on a 100% charge while I was still factory but now that I have flashed this ROM i get 12 hours max. I have the screen turned down to 25% through out the day but that hasn't helped. What would be a better way to narrow down running apps besides going to manage apps through the settings?
So, hello there XDA, I'm Moon and that Topic Title isn't very informative i know.
But yes, Let me get this straight. I got an Used DHD running CM10.1 until last night on a lan after recording two hours 720p Video with flash i when i wanted to show a friend a youtube video noticed my auto rotation not working,
And well. i thought it was off? so i dont know for how long it didn't work, so after a huge hangover and a long day sleep i tried to Reflash cm10.1 versions without Luck, neither JB Miui roms. though sense gb and ics sense roms do work just fine? I didn't get an solution so right now i run Blackouts rom with sense 3,6 based of 4.0.4, but for sure i know having the accelerometer working on cm10 sometime. Would anybody tell me (if they know) how to fix this?
I'd be super thankful.

Hi sir, And sorry. i did search two Pages long and didn't spot your above mentioned thread.
I tried this "fix" and sadly can't get it to work. i also cant simply jump from rom to rom since I'm s-on But unlocked using HTCdev,
So i have to use cmd for all the boot image flashing.
Hey guys, good morning. I am sorry to bother you but I couldnt get all the info i needed. So i recently returned to android after 2 years and i almost lost touch of how every thing works.
I have a google pixel2 xl and i wanted to install some custom roms. Thing is i dont wana lose the camera or performance. Can someone tell me if i will lose the camera quality and stuff? I couldnt find an answer elsewhere and having used sony and samsung i do know you will lose your camera drm and other stuff. And if the answer is no can someone link me to all the necessary files and pages to the best custom rom. Thank you much. Again i know how this works and posting something like this not cool to others but i will appreciate if I can get some help..
Camera works fine. Let me save you a few days. Try out dirty unicorns first.

Look over the linked thread about unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Then you'll be ready to start flashing roms. :good:
