Is there a ROM that has a compass fix? I have CM7 and the compass is still backwards in Google maps. I've heard that the OTA 2.3 GB update fixes the compass issue. I don't want to update OTA though because I want to keep s-off.
Because this is a question it really shouldn't be in the development section. Just remember that if it is a question, it should always go in the General section. Even if it is development related.
But rather than just be a nag, the Gingersense ROM floating around is a rooted, deodexed version of the OTA. That is what I'm running and have no issues with the backwards compass. Then again, I never saw that problem when it was on Froyo either.

Thanks for the advise. I just installed the gingersense ROM and it works great. Now if only it had an overclock option in it

Can you point me to this Gingersense that I keep seeing? Is it the RMK Sense ROM? If so, it's awesome and yes the compass works.
EDIT: Duh, forget it...I'm an idiot. That is all.

I searched around for it but i cant find the kernel itself.
Has it been pulled yet or am i jumping the gun and should wait for the dev's?
Id like to just use the stock kernel with the true FPS fix on whatever i flash.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

I am almost positive it will not work with another rom until the source code comes out.
The stock kernel from 3.29 is in the development section on the virus Rom thread. I have had trouble flashing it tonight, but I think its because of corrupted downloads. Others have flashed it with no problem, and even got 1400+ quadrants. Virus Rom uses 3.28 base (he released one tonight with the 3.29 base, but before he released the ROM, others were flashing the kernel from it he posted). Check virus thread in development.
Thanks I have been looking for it as well.
Thanks. I'm gonna try it out.
Hey guys,
I'm using stock froyo 2.2 for my htc desire and that's why I'm facing low memory issue. I would like to know which rom will provide me with apps2sd feature so that I wont face any issue of low memory and also which rom is the closest to stock froyo as I know of roms that are featured pack till the simple application are not working.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Read the ROM threads, best ROM is open to debate as what one person might love another may hate...it's completely subjective
Yeah I understand, but is there one that is close to the stock froyo 2.2? I do not need it to be fast, I only need it to be stable.
Search 'rooted 2.10.405.2' as there are some already on here...
You mean this rom is just rooted and Apps2sd for 2.2 stock desire?
I am using MoDaCo at the moment it's about as close to stock as you can get, but rooted and with an option for A2SD. They have a online kitchen as well so you can customize what you want installed in your ROM.
So how is it so far in terms of performance for you?

use LeeDroid and be happy. You'll get a lot of help in the LeeDroid thread at XDA, too. It's Sense with a lot of improvements.
LeeDroid? Saw from the thread there are quite a number of issues with the rom.

what issues? most of them are user related who don't know how to use a custom rom.
Like force closes of certain applications all these..
I want to start of by apologizing if this is a question that is answered somewhere else. I DID search and checked all of the 'similar threads' before posting.
I am wondering what the difference is between a froyo kernel and a gingerbread kernel. I don't really need super specific technical details, just the semi-technical general answer.
The reason I ask is because I am running the Incredibly Re-engineered (v2.3.2) with the incredikernel v2.6.32.27 and noticed that the incredikernel thread got updated.
Incredikernel Thread
In the update, there is listed a froyo and a gingerbread specific kernel. Do you have to chose a specific one for a specific rom? If so, how do you know which one to chose.
My About Phone screen shows "Android Version 2.2" so I assume that means I need the froyo kernel?
Edit: I also noticed that I didn't finish the thread title. I meant to put Froyo or Gingerbread Kernel... Can this be changed after posting? I'm not the best with forums.
You are exactly correct, you would use the Froyo kernel. Froyo is 2.2, Gingerbread is 2.3, and you need to use a kernel for whichever version of Android you are running.
Perfect. Thank you very much.
the gingerbread kernels are for gingerbread based roms like CM7 you want the froyo one if you are still running android OS 2.2 ( look in the "about phone" tab in settings to confirm. also keep in mind that there are differant froyo kernels as well there is sense based kerners and AOSP kernels.
So the sense based kernels are based off of the HTC kernel? and AOSP is the completely open source project done by the community? How do you find out which type of rom you are running, other than looking on the forum/web page? Is there a spot in your phone settings that will list this? I've never seen one that I can remember.
Well, it's a matter of what flavor of Android the kernel is made for that determines if it's a Sense kernel or an AOSP one. As far as determining the ROM type, I am not aware of anything that specifically gives it away other than the general feeling of Sense verses the general feeling of AOSP; with Sense you have all the HTC widgets and apps, unless it's a Sense-less ROM.
TL;DR, your best bet is to just note what kind of ROM it is when you download.
Ok. Thanks for all of the help.
Hopefully any other newbies out there who have the same questions might get some use from this too.
You are certainly welcome.
Hello,
I'm a newbie and I'm running android 2.2, HTC stock kernel WITH mikfroyo V4.4. and I wanna change Roms preferably Evo Zone which runs gingerbread 2.3.3. Do I have to change the kernel and the Rom or just the Rom. Please help. thanks

Each rom has its own kernel so dont fear you do not have to manually change anything yourself. Just update the rom.
Going from 2.2 to 2.3 I would do a clean wipe and not just cache and davlik. Do a search for Caulkins format all which would be very helpful when going from Froyo to Gingerbread. It will give you a clean slate to start with
Please note Caulkins format all is a zip file that wipes all data on your phone. Then you can install any rom you want and usually has less issues. Also you may have GPS issues when going from 2.2 to 2.3. Try and read up on this stuff prior to flashing so you know what your getting yourself into..
^^^^ He is right. Every ROM has a kernal already. Untill you learn more about switching them I wouldn do it yet, you could break or brick something.
Ok, well if I switch my Rom will the kernel change automatically?
Yes, a new kernel is bundled with the ROM
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at this point I don't even think there are any custom kernels to install on 2.3 until the source code is released (if ever)...

Dont take this the wrong way but if you are unsure if a kernel comes with a rom I suggest you do a lot of reading up before flashing. Custom kernels are just that custom and flashed separately. Also certain kernels are for sense and different ones are for AOSP. Please try and understand that first before just flashing away. Asking questions may or may not be the way to go up in here.
I SUggest reading the stickies and threads done by people like toastch, caulkins xhausx and others similar to them. They have experience and a good track record as far as I am concerned

You are correct. There are, however, kernels with a few tweaks if I remember correctly, fixing Wi-Fi and maybe another issue (4G I think, not sure)
Hi,
havent been too active on the forum as I am not much of a ROM freak. Updated to ICS when it first came out and installed the keyboard light fix then. Since I havent updated it, not even to the re-released ICS stock ROM
Was wondering, hasnt JB been ported to the i927? Are there any unofficial ROMs without too many bugs that give the stock JB experience on this handset?
Ameyam
Didn't you even look at the titles of the threads on here, or in the 'Everything Captivate Glide' thread before you posted?

You should be posting in the General Chat http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1488 rather than the Rom Development... Read the Rule and Search otherwise your not going to get help and get flamed

I concur. I really want to flame you for creating this thread in the development forum firstly, but mostly because this is covered several times with a little bit of research.
