[Q] cyanogen - is it out?

I read on here he posted a status on twiter but was wondering if it's out and how to install it?
Thanks

Its called cyanogen and no, it hasn't been released as of yet.

Lol @ Crayogen... Anyway like luis86dr said it's not out yet. There were some nightly builds (unstable versions) posted yesterday but they got taken down pretty quickly. When CM6.1RC1 is released it will be available in the Developer section. You'll know when it's there; it'll be hard to miss.

lol Thanks! I just hope it easier than over clocking... it took me a good bit to overclock yesterday... but it was simple as changing the binary file name.

The first rule of CyanogenMod is that you never ask for an ETA (when it will be released). Just thought I'd get that out of the way before someone strangles you for asking
CyanogenMod is a complete OS (Operating System) replacement. Also known as a ROM. In order to install CM, you will need a permanently rooted device. After rooting, you will need to install Clockwork Recovery, which will allow you to back up your current ROM and install the new one. It's fairly easy as long as you follow the steps in the links I posted, and of course follow the steps that will be posted in the CyanogenMod thread when it comes out.

Cyanogen is a ROM. Not a app, big difference. Also to install the rom you will need to perm-root your phone.
Check the development section on how to do this and since your new to android I recommend you study up on adb / fastboot until your comfortable with the root process. Its really easy but any mistake in the commands will result in your g2 becoming a display model.
Once your rooted go to market and download clockworkmod.
Once downloaded open and flash recovery.
Walaaa, your ready for roms and all the bad stuff we shouldn't do to our phones. Hope this helps.

Cyanogen
Coming from Windows Mobile, I am used to flashing ROMs left and right. But what makes Cyanogen ROMs so special? From the sounds of it, it is the next best thing since sliced bread.

Well I've never actually run CM before... But from what I understand what makes it so great is that it is based off AOSP (Android Open Source Project) code, adds some extra features, and some optimizations. Basically it's like if you took all the complaints you had about Android and fixed them, then you'd have CyanogenMod.
I think CM is especially good for people who don't have a Vanilla Android phone (like the G1, G2, and Nexus One). For instance my Vibrant came with a lot of proprietary apps and bloatware preloaded, and has a "TouchWiz" interface throughout the entire OS. CM will fix all that

OOOO I didn't know it was a no no to ask the ETA lol sorry...
Well so far I have the vissionary perm root and I have clockwork... I tried backing up the ROM with clockwork before I overclocked the phone... it shut teh phone down and when restarted it sshowed a screen with the android guy and an ! inside a up arrow? I didn't know if it was suppose to do that or if that was bad I pulled the batt and restarted and it started fine so I am guessing I didn't really back up the rom... is that bad if i might want to get back to stock one day?

From my experience with the G1, cyanogen ROMs have always been stable and relatively bug-free with a lot of additions and ability to customize stuff within the ROM.

It's too bad that CM6 only uses ADW as the Launcher, I use LauncherPro Plus (stock ain't bad either) and I hope ADW is as fast & smooth as LauncherPro Plus.

does CM 6.1 RC1 come pre themed or are we able to add a theme on top of it? i really hate this white status bar haha

Yeah, the non-stock launcher has always been the deal-breaker for me, too. I'm enjoying stock rooted with bacon bits for now.

Do you HAVE to use ADW Launcher with CM 6.1? Or once we install CM 6.1 (whenever that is) can we uninstall ADW Launcher and install LauncherPro Plus?

Good to know! Just had to ask since this is my first Android device and installing CM 6.1 would be my very first time installing a ROM.

I use Launcher Pro on my other phones running CyanogenMod. It works great. Sometimes I leave ADW installed, other times I remove it completely.

Great to hear..... Now.... If only Cyanogen would release CM 6.1 already lol

Ok. I think I got bacon bits installed too but what exactly (or where can I go to read up on) does bacon bits give me? I had already installed busybox and I got the superuser extra from rom manager; so, tell me what else I'm getting and how do I best utilize these tools. I basically need a noob guide, but hey I've gotten this far (rooted also killed Google Goggles before the OTA update so I had to roll back then forward) I'm getting it slowly and my little bit of linux exp helps me a little bit too Thanks to whoever for whatever info you can point me to in advance.
On the thread, I been using ADW for a bit now... solid with (main reason) open source development, lots of themes, etc. Used the Launcher Pro (free) and liked it slightly better for feel, but I like something that can be looked at and improved via collaboration.

[Q] Can the MIUI Notes app/apk be used on non-MIUI roms??

Can the MIUI Notes app/apk be used on non-MIUI roms?? It is by far the nicest and easiest to use notes app I've ever used.
I'm now on the Evo gingerbread deck 1.0 rom.
I puled the Notes.apk out of a recent (Gingerbread) MIUI rom and tried the following without success:
Installing the apk - install failed
Pushing the apk to /system/app - app force closes instantly
Can it be done?

Yeah, tried it too.
Are there any other apps that aresimilar in function? Or maybe the code that MIUI notes is based on?

When you pushed it to /system/app, did you set permissions properly?
It doesn't seem like one of those MIUI apps that require MIUI. Have you tried signing the apk and installing it normally?
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

Look for XMNotes on the market. It was made by the same company that builds MIUI (Xaomi). It's a little old, so it doesn't have a few of the features of MIUI notes, but it's pretty much the same thing.

Thanks for your answers!
I just installed the apk, not push to system. Will try that later...
Can't find XM notes in markte :-(

Here neither...
Any luck installing extracted MiuiNotes?

Hi, I found source of that on internet on code.google.com/p/patrrr-xiaomi-note/ but it was in Chinese and had some little bug, so I created a project from it (github.com/ebraminio/miuinotes) and republished it in market.android.com/details?id=com.patrrr.Note (downloadable from github.com/ebraminio/miuinotes/downloads)
It still have some bugs although but is usable

Nice to see MIUI Notes getting ported to the "common public" this way. Thanx.
Indeed there are bugs. Most important one is that when entering the app through the widget, you can't go to the list. Hitting back gets you back to the homescreen; hitting the "Into the list mode" is not working, which functionality is quite important because now there is no way you can see and choose the notes already made (except for hitting the app-button in the app-drawer).

So did anyone managed to get this working? I tried extracting apk from latest miui 4.0 and pushing it to /system/app, but it FC'd right away.

I guess this thread is just too old hence no replies. I figured it out by myself, if anyone is interested I have it built from miui source from ICS with some minor bug fixes/modifications.

Could you please post it somewhere? I liked it quite a bit when I used MIUI and it would be great to have it on ICS too... Many thanks in advance

Yeah, I liked it very much too which is why I started looking around and couldn't find it.
Enjoy: http://ge.tt/3oWoetF/v/0?c
PM if the link doesn't work. I haven't used this service b4.

Works like a charm
One question though - since now the New note button is in Chinese is there a way to change it in the apk? I can supply the needed files.

Sure, that should be an easy change.
BTW, this is stock MIUI Notes with just some small bug fixes. I'm doing a more significant overhaul for my own use. May just throw it out there when it's done, if there is any interest.

Dude i love you! I love MIUI notes

Just like to say thanks and I'd be interested in the overhauled version if you ever want to put it out.
I've dabbled in Catch, RememberTheMilk, and Evernote. Catch is pretty close to want i'm wanting but I tried MIUINotes today on my MIUI rom and it's exactly what I'm looking for (minus interval sync options, unless it's there and I can't find it?)

I'll think about the auto-sync interval.

[ROM][MIUI][21 Jan 12] Mini Mi 2.01.20

First off, I'm not a dev. I'm just a guy with 5 kids who plays with his phone to help keep his sanity. But with CarpeNoctem getting a new phone and Tun4f1sh only making an add-on, I needed my own rom.
Secondly, I'm making this for myself and just sharing. I'm open to fixing bugs, but not adding features. Sorry.
Finally, THANKS to:
g4rb4ge, for porting MIUI to the G2.
MIUIAndroid.com, for the base rom and translations.
CarpeNoctem, for getting me hooked on this rom.
Tun4f1sh, For Bulletproof and making me want to learn more.
Andy Thompson, for the Extended Settings mod and controls.
Tsubus, rmk40, and Juwe11, for optimization scripts.
Dsixda, for his awesome Android kitchen.
What is Mini Mi?
Nothing, or as close to nothing as I can make it.
I wanted to make the smallest rom possible, while still being able to use all of the MIUI features.
Changes:
Removed apk's, themes, media, and fonts I didn't use
Zipaligned
Added Extended Settings mod and MIUI settings app
Added Genie Widget (for lockscreen weather)
Added memory management, sdcard, zipalign, and ILWT fixes scripts
I left the stock CM kernel, if you don't like it flash one of your choice.
Suggested Add-ons:
Bulletproof MIUI Add-on from Tun4f1sh.
ILWT Kernel, ILWT OC daemon, and WiFi calling add-on from Tsubus.
Tiamat Kernel from Cayniarb.
SUperuser 3.0.7 from ChainsDD
Pershoot Kernel
HTC_IME or Jonasl's Themer (For prediction on physical keyboard)
MIUI Small MMS Fix from silverton
Download Link:
2.01.06
2.01.13
2.01.20

Going to give it a whirl. Really appreciate the work! ;]

Downloading now. Ill try it tomorrow(Monday) without "Bulletproof MIUI Pack" and then Tuesday with and let everyone know how it goes. Thanks for a new roms!

With which app? It's still the stock SU app so you need to enable it in settings first.

With pretty much all my apps. It's already enabled, but for some reason, I still can't get root access...I'll try to reflash and see from there.

Strange, I didn't do anything to the SU and I only had a problem with restoring TI Backup. Did you come from a full wipe?

Seeing as I already had MIUI installed, just cleared cache. I'll try doing a full wipe, seeing as how reflashing still didn't fix the issue.
EDIT: Negative. Even a full wipe didn't fix it for me :[

I did a full wipe and I can confirm root does NOT work. I dont really need it so Im going to stick with it till you find a patch. Also I backed up with MIUI Backup and restored from 12.02 rom and everything it working like I never left other then root so thanks for the great rom!

I updated the OP with a patch. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow after work. I'm still learning.

Sorry if this is answered somewhere (couldn't find much when I asked/searched relatively recently), but does this MIUI version (or any for that matter) fully support the G2 keyboard - as in, the ".com/www." button works instead of displaying the square?

Nope, no MIUI version does because very few phones have physical keyboards. All attention goes to soft IME's. But you can look here. You'll have to use a hex editor to make your own keymap, but everything you need is on his github.

Hey man I have a few questions.
Removed apk's, themes, media, and fonts I didn't use
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you be more specific about what apks you pulled, what themes you pulled (since there is only one theme that comes with MIUI I don't see what could be slimmed down), and the fonts you got rid of? MIUI is already pretty barebones in terms of system overhead and package size so I'm curious as to how your design philosophy works.
Added memory management, sdcard, zipalign, and ILWT fixes scripts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Could you also go into some more detail as to what this means and how each script works? I'm not really much of a dev, I just benefit from the effort of others but I do love my documentation, especially before I flash a new rom.
Thanks for the reply.
Edit: Hey as a bit of an aside, for permission controls I always suggest LBE Security Control. It's very effective at not breaking roms yet helping your sense of security. It's free on the market so you could theoretically pre package it in your rom. I usually suggest it since most baked in permission control is often fundamentally broken.

Sure. MiTalk, MiuiStats, and a couple others I can't remember off hand. I removed the Arabic, Thai, and Hebrew fonts, the some of the ringtones and pictures I hated, TTS info for Italian, French, and German, the extra lockscreens in the media folder, and added a smaller bootanimation. I'm going to try to slim it down a little more next week too. I'll make a list.
As for the scripts, in the system/etc/init.d folder there's the SDcard fix which changes the read ahead cache, zipalign which verifies all apks are zipaligned at boot, ramscript which tunes the memory manager, and ilwt-fixes that fixes Flash in the browser.

[ROM][AOSP 2.3.7] OMFGB compiled and ported

Hy all,
inspired by this thread I spend some spare time in compiling OMFGB sources for use with the hero gsm.
Because of the fact, that I did not manage to successfully compile the OMFGB sources directly for the hero gsm (compiling was OK but could not get rom to boot) I did it the other way.
I compiled the sources for the hero cdma (heroc) and afterwards ported it to hero gsm.
I integrated Erasmux fly-kernel 13 since I used it with all other hero roms before.
After testing the rom for ~1 week (also my son is quite satisfied with it) I decided to share it.
I took out some apps that were not usable (for example God Mode) and put in minimal gapps so that it's possible to sign in on google account and run market.
Also I replaced the LatinIME.apk with the CMs one to get other keyboard layouts than querty.
I'd recommend to install morelocale2 to be able to dial 123456 instead of 123-456.
What I have to say is that I'm by far no developer (at least not on android platform).

I ported and tested the rom step by step.
Since all keys work as they should, I skipped this step.

I gave it a go. Not bad, for some reason I had extremely good wifi reception using this ROM, so that's good. Really missed some kind of advanced settings 'cause I use a lot of options from there and that was a dealbreaker . Also a2ext didn't work, so I had to flash darktremor script which caused i few random reboots. All in all, a solid ROM which could be much improved.
Cheers

For the advanced settings, I could not get the God_Mode fully working so far.
For a2ext, I don't use it since I don't need it.
My son, which has a hero too, uses a lot of games.
For him I did custom mtd layout, much faster than a2ext cause it's kept all internal.

Please add the Russian.

[Q] Rom Recommendations

Hey,
I had a horrible bootloop-infection on my phone today for no reason; maybe its the sign to replace the Rom; i had a milestone 5 from AOKP [ around june WTF??!?) installed and was enjoying it till this day;
I was waiting for the last 4.2 Rom update from AOKP but since no update for the last month i decided to get something new and fresh instead, so thought to come back here and ask you guys thos flash junkies or just people who realy enjoy their current ROM;
I wasnt here for 6 months due to studying in the university so most of the names are new to me in the Development section that's why i realy need the help to choose;
I dont need much only good battery life; option to remove the notification bar and to have the navigation bar transparent or invisible;
Currently sitting with 4.0.2 clean recovery Rom that i made on the start of February o0 build waiting for responses;
Thank you;

Well, I am not using any of these custom ROMs so I am always supporting the idea of going over the main thread of the most popular ROMs in the development section then choosing whatever seems reasonable to you. Try it, then if any complaints then go for another.
If you really want a 4.2 AOKP ROM, then check this
I hope you have a break from the university so you can play with these custom ROMs

Thank you ahmadallica;
I'm studying software engineering so my free time is for sleep only currently thats why i ask for guidance due to the fact i dont have much time to test each Rom;
The Rom you gave looks realy nice from the outside but sounds more of a huge nightly build instead of a stable one, with so many stuff missing and probably he just uses the AOKP frame without adding/updating/changing any stuff moreover the lack of changlog and an overall [work/not work] stuff that the rest of the Rom developers show suggesting its just an amateur one; i really appreciate this dude's hard work but i need something stable for half a year and not to be one of this Rom testers;

Highly recommend paranoid android, been through leads of custom ROMs and I've stuck with this the longest ... give it a go, excellent team and excellent ROM

Paranoidandroid is definitely the way to go. The new version is still in beta but almost completely stable in my opinion. Themes are hit or miss at this stage of the ROM but yes, you can adjust the colors for the navbar, statusbar, navigation icons and statusbar icons within each app. It can be found in settings/paranoidpreferences/apps.
I've been using this rom since v1.98, it's now at 2.99 BetaNINE and I have not looked at anything else.
*Sidenote, PA used to be CM based up until version 2.54, starting with 2.99 Beta1 it is now AOSP based for a smoother and faster experience with better battery life. This is why some features are not yet added back and other things are not fully perfected (i.e. themes).
The problem with themes is that with every new Beta of PA comes some new code and the themers cannot always keep up with every new release so a lot of themes end up causing issues. I would just customize as I recommended above for now and once AOSPA 3.0 is released PA will be out of beta and easier to find compatible themes.

Yes you can adjust the colour of the status bar and nav bar for each app individually from with the hybrid engine within the rom... Most play store themes support it too... anything else just let me know

Personally, I like TWRP so check this on how to install it easily. Take note that if you have CWM nandroid backups then they will NOT be compatible with TWRP because it has its own nandroid backups.
As for kernel, just try them till you find a suitable one

Thx bro, i might give it a try tho is there something wrong staying with CWM ? i dont care much for the backups im gonna format it anyway. but i read inside you say it not for Gnex and thats its only for the Nexus 4? is that true?

No no. That was for the other member in that thread who was mentioning a Nexus 4 version. TWRP works on both of them. Basically just download the Goo Manager app then it will install the correct version automatically just follow the steps to save some time for your software engineering studies
I will copy the steps below so you don't have to worry about that link in my previous post.
1- Run GooManager app
2- Click on the upper right 3 dots for settings
3- Click "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
4- Confirm Recovery Install --> Yes
5- Confirm download, reboot, and install --> Yes
6- A download process will start then it will be installed
7- (Optional) Reboot into recovery to ensure that TWRP is successfully installed and working.
And no there is nothing wrong with CWM, I just personally like TWRP
If you are staying with CWM, then just update it to the latest version before installing any 4.2 ROM. I think installing/flashing the latest CWM recovery can be done easily using the "ROM Manager" application from the Play Store

Jb sorcery latest is great and has every tweak you can think of, very stable and they have inverted gaapps!!!

I recommend using TWRP. There were some problems with multiple media folders being created when flashing with CWM. I know latest TWRP did not have this problem. Don't know if latest CWM still does this or not.
