as the title says i hate when my phone is acting slow to have to goto the test menu to see if I am on 1x or EVDO.....
is it somehow possible to make it so that it does not just show 3g all the time in a custom rom???
Thanks for any answers in advance
Zac
(Rom)Ava-FroyoV1-Sense+2.2 Froyo
I am currently running this Rom and it does exactly that. (Tells you Evdo, 1x etc)
BEWARE! This is Android 2.2 (Froyo) which has a lot of bugs and things not working. (No Rear Camera, No MMS, 4G, Android Market is screwed up, etc.)
"Word on the street" is that soon, (next couple of days or maybe even tonight) there are going to be new Froyo ROMS that will fix many of these issues.
so by tonight it being released you mean this AVA rom should be updated or you mean in general some new code is being released on froyo????
I use my camera daily lol and it takes to long to NAND between rom's to snap a photo of the kiddo on the fly!!!

probably referring to CyanogenMod 6 it should top any of the froyo roms here IMO
There are a few Froyo ROMS out right now. Differences between them are that some concentrate on speed, user experience, etc. etc. some run Sense and some don't.
At the race right now:
Two different Developers, each has their own Froyo ROM:
Avalaunchmods - Ava (Sense)
Cyanogen - CM6 (AOSP... (no Sence) I believe?)
Both of them will be releasing their own ROM that allegedly fixes many of the Froyo issues we are currently experiencing. Cyanogen posted on Twitter that his CM6 might be going live tonight on the nightly builds for Evo..
Ava has also stated that he too will be releasing an update soon...

There are three flavors.
Stable, Release Candidate and Nightlie. Consider the nightlies beta releases; they aren't quite RCs, are most likely buggy and they're released so that folks can help the CM team find some glaring bugs before the RC is released.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
The CyanogenMod team are constantly adding new features, testing new tweaks, and trying to fix bugs. They have set up "Build-Bots" which automatically build a new version of a the phone's ROM every night, using the latest "commits". Sometimes, there have been no changes "committed" to the build, so two nightlies can be exactly the same, because the Built-Bot keeps going.
Once they get to a place where the nightlies seem pretty stable, they will announce that the next one is a "Release Candidate" (RC). Many more people will install the RC version, because these tend to be more stable than the experimental "nightly" versions. There can still be bugs to work through, and the devs keep working, and the Build-Bot keeps churning out new nightlies.
After a couple of RC versions, and after the dev teams are comfortable that the bugs have been worked out, they will announce that the next build is the "Stable" version, which should be good for everyone. (Very rarely odd bugs will still creep in, but the CM team is quick to jump on them, and .1 releases will take care of those nasty bugs.)
They still keep working, tweaking and adding features, however. They probably won't stop tweaking CM7 until the Source Code for Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is released, at which point everyone will shift to CM9. (CM8 was going to be the "Honeycomb" version of Android, but that was only ever released on Tablets, so they're moving straight to Version 9.)
And there's my submission for NaMoWriMo.
Is there a difference and if so, what is the difference?
each has changelogs afaik , im using aokp and love it. cant speak for cm yet and unless im mistaken arent they all kangs right now ?
Flash them both, and have a look. It takes all of 5 minutes to flash a ROM. I used the CM9 builds on my Desire, not much of the CM9 extras are working, I'm not sure if that's the same for the Prime.
AOKP has extensive working tweaks, that much I do know.
aokp
difference is its features. cm9 is still in the works so a lot of the options you find in CM7 devices arent present yet.
On zephiK's recommendation I installed AOKP and don't see myself changing. It's a solid ROM.

There will be. There will be.
But for starters, AOPK is like Cyanogenmod, in the sense that both are based in AOSP. Neither are finished, at their current stages.
Im going from CM9 Kang to AOKP right now. CM9 was getting a little laggy for me (when moving around homescreens). And im sold by the AOKP tweaks
Reading the op of both rom threads can answer this

Uhm okay I was going to post a topic similar to this but ill save some room on the forums by asking it here:
What is AOSP and AOKP? What do they mean and what are they? Which one is better and what are the differences? Is it a specific ROM or is it like a category?

AOSP is Android Open Source Project, Android before manufacturers get their hands on it and install Sense or Touch Wiz. Essentially the Nexus Primes OS. AOKP is Android Open Kang Project a modified AOSP ROM made by Team Kang, with more bells and whistles than the stock Nexus ROM. Hope this helps.

AOSP - Android Open Source Project. Simply put, this is Android straight from Google, with no modifications. This is what you have on your phone. All of the ROMs here are built on AOSP - most, like AOKP, add modifications, while some don't.
AOKP - Android Open Kang Project. A ROM by Romanbb and his friends, built on AOSP, that adds many modifications and tweaks that aim to improve the end-user experience.
Yes it does thank you! So basically AOSP and AOKP are categories of the type of ROM a ROM is? Are there any other projects or are these the only two ones? Which one offers more stability and fluidness in the OS?

Almost.
AOSP is the version of Android that comes straight from Google. Manufacturers (such as Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc) usually like to take AOSP ROMs and add their own modifications to it - and that's how we got Samsung's Touchwiz, HTC's Sense, Motorola's MotoBlur, etc.
However, Google partners up each year with a manufacturer to release a Nexus device. These devices are special in that they always come with AOSP, and because of that, they are always the first to receive updates to the Android OS, and are for the most part the devices with the most developer support on forums such as XDA.
AOKP isn't a type of ROM in itself - it is just a name given to a specific ROM. Like AOKP, you have for example CyanogenMod, which is yet a different ROM. Because we have a Nexus device, all of the ROMs you'll see in our development section are all built straight on AOSP. There are many ROMs out there, all unique in their own way, and the best way to find out which one is right for you is simply to try them all out. It may be scary at first, but after your 1st or 2nd flash, you'll become addicted for a few weeks
Thanks! Do you have a ROM that you recommend? Also, if all of the nexus ROM's are built off of AOSP, why is CM9 built off of Kang?

It's not, where did you read that? CM9 will be built from the ground up using the AOSP released by Google back in November.
Kang are using the Cyanogen GitHub to compile a CM9 beta ROM, as as far as I know, CM haven't released any betas (do they even release beta ROMs?) As far as I know they just go for a final build which is as stable as stable can be, people can't wait for the final builds and build ROMs using their work so we can try them as they are developed by the CM team.
That's my understanding of it anyways.
Oh my bad. I jumped to conclusions when I read the title to this post haha.

CM is not built off of Kang. Kang is simply a term used to denote a compiled build of a ROM by someone other than that ROM's team or "authorized dealer". For example, User A compiles CM, changed a few lines in the code, and then publishes it here as his own work. That is a kang, and its highly frowned upon.
The reason the CM thread is labeled a "kang" is because there are no official builds of CM9 coming straight from CM yet - they're just experimental builds as of now. The reason why its allowed, is because recognized members of the CM team are releasing them.
I unfortunately don't even have my Nexus yet, but its coming in two days and I'm getting my feet wet. However, from what I've been exposed to, one of the more popular combinations around here seem to be AOKP with Franco's kernel.
I strongly advise you not to flash anything yet, though. You seem motivated to be here, which is good - but you also seem to not know too much about the world of Android yet.
Please, take the time to read through the following links:
Basic Android Terminology
Galaxy Nexus Frequently Asked Questions
Different Guides and Tutorials for the Galaxy Nexus
After you've finished, you'll be a little more familiar with Android and how stuff works. If you have questions, I strongly advise you to search Google and XDA first - I can almost guarantee your question has already been answered before
If you searched, but couldn't find an answer, please post in the Q&A sub-forum - there are many members like myself who love to help new users who are willing to take the time to learn themselves, without expecting others to do their work for them.
Finally, as a general rule, don't post stuff in the development sub-forum that aren't specifically development related. Yes, if you'll go through them, you'll probably see a bunch of posts that aren't tied in directly to development - but two wrongs don't make a right if you have a question about a specific ROM, usually the answer is right in that ROM's thread - if it isn't, most ROMs have IRC chatrooms set up, and if they don't - consider making a thread in the Q&A sub-forum.
Can someone list a couple of apps that don't work?
I can't get Google Goggles to even snapshot a picture of a QR code
I like that fact that FXP has done what they have but
CM9 dev team hasn't done much of keeping this phone what it was
No PSExperia support, No Video Play Back, Most google functions don't work, Forced dim lighting
FXP keep on rocking and hopefully you guys will get this rom upto full function
Cm9 is still in alpha, it's expected to be buggy
ICS still have issues with apps, I suggest you Google ICS compatibility, which is why its not being released sooner for many devices. As of this date, I don't even see CM9 for the Play (GSM) at the official Cyanogen website, and the CDMA version is not supported, so I don't see where you can blame the CM9 dev. Just have to wait till Sony release ICS for it.

CM9 is like the bleeding edge of technology. It's to be understood that, since it is in development, not everything is going to work like Stock.
The rule for using Custom ROMs is if everything has to work like stock, stick with ROMs based on Stock. If you want to help test the latest Mod and are willing to sacrifice some useability to do so, then go with the ROMs that are in development.
If you do decide to go bleeding edge, you are expected to keep up to date with the development thread for that ROM and to post your observations, pro and con, in that thread. That's the only way the devs and other testers know what the issues are.
A good stock ROM is the one by KeiranFTW called DarkForest 3.X (3.0.5 for CDMA, 3.1.0 for GSM). It's a nice balance between customization and stock, and pretty much everything works like you would expect. [ROM] Darkforest ROM 3.0.5 UPDATE | GSM 2.3.4/.62 | CDMA 2.3.3/.145 [WIP]
Adam has posted builds on his twitter of AOKP 4.2 the lastest was released today. I just flashed it this rom is very nice I cannot wait for the official release.

Why does so many people feel the need to post tiny url's in a place that does not have a text limit? I for one will never open a tiny url. I prefer to know what website I'm going to before clicking!
