Ok after browsing all these ROMS and basically starting to get a headache lol, can anyone recommend a rom thats stock froyo (or close to as I use the football app and the nascar app etc) that also allows me to tether wifi. Ive probably looked at over 7 roms maybe more and they all seem custom in some way shape or form which im not interested in. I did look at the stock rooted 2.2 but I dont think it suits my needs, unless theres something im missing about tethering

Once you are rooted, the wireless tether application for root users will work on every rom. You can use any stock rom of your liking and then add the wireless tether app from the market and you will be all set.
Wow! Seriously?! Why in dev section?! I'm sorry to be rude but I'm getting tired of ppl always posting non-developing stuff on the DEVELOPMENT section. I almost never comment but I'm tired of this.
Please, next time post it on the Q&A section.
Thanks.
Edit: I'll be glad to help if mods move it to Q&A.
Stock froyo like sense 2.2 rooted? There's that option, if you mean like stock android froyo ala 2.2 there is CM6

OP,
I understand your headaches since I am basically wanting the same thing. But after a little looking around, think that the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 is what you are looking for. They use to have a thread on just ROMs, how they have been modified, etc.
Also krazyconejo, maybe this is a way for a developer to help out a user? I know that the developers love to have their ROMs used, or at least some input instead of jumping on a guy, maybe you should strongly suggest for future education. Sometimes it is better to coach a fellow member than hit him over the nose with a rolled up news paper (figuritively speaking) - without being disrespectful to you.
Krazy..ive spent the past few hours searching and reading this section of the forums, so excuse me for posting here and upsetting you lol. Since this is a question about ROMS specifically and this section has them all listed, I felt it would be better answered here, then in a general Q&A section. I tend to value the replies I get in a specific forum topic more then a general one
like I said before I usually don't say anything and just ignore it. But if I come to the developing section, I expect to see that and not waste my time with this.
As for OP sorry for being mean but if you would had posted this in the right place, I'm petty sure someone would had helped.
*Not gonna respond anymore. OP if you still help pm me and let's just let this thread die.
Thanks.
if you want the football and nascar app...just flash any rom and install those apks.

Sorry, I didn't get past this part. I'm still too busy reeling from the discovery that someone actually uses those two apps to recommend that you use DamageControl 3.5 or something based from it.

This may be true however it is still the wrong place to post this. questions go in questions forum or in the thread of a specific rom/kernal if they pertain to it. since this is a general questions about roms and doesnt fit into a specific rom thread it belongs in the Q&A forum. Most of the people who will give you a true answer from dev also frequently go to the QA section. also yuo will get flamed less and not have to wade through as many posts telling you that you posted wrong.
To answer your question. You can use wifi tether with stock rooted froyo or almost any custom rom. you can still use football/nascar you can try Damage control 3.5 which will let you easily select what you want to have or not of the sprint apps and have the rest removed. you can also use roms like fresh Evio and baked snacks and install the .spk for those 2 apps.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Baked snack then install nascar and football apk. If you need them im sure they are floating around here somewhere if not pm me.
You could also try fresh. He puts all the apks he removes in a folder on your sdcard.

lol thanks for all the info...Kinda new to the whole rooting thing and with all the roms flying around and the 100+ pages for each its alot to read over but I tried as much as I could
And yes I am a nascar fan and a football fan..And since Verizon has the good app lol..I use what I got!!!
You could also probably find those .apks by browsing for a folder of the Fresh Removed .apks folder that comes with the Fresh ROM, or just find some Fresh user to upload them for you.

I happen to be one of those rooters who still enjoys the Sense UI over an AOSP base.
However, I was wondering if there was a way to lower the amount of home screens I have. My daily is Myn's RLS4 and with Sense I find myself only really using 3-5 home screens and basically fill the other 2 with widgets just so they are not blank. I wouldn't mind them if I have to, but it's possible my phone would run a little quicker and save some battery if I were able to limit the amount of home screens and focus on using the apps for the info when I need it rather than have the widgets constantly running.
I'm not sure if there is a way to integrate a Miui or ADW/Launcher Pro method of controlling how many screens we have, but I think it's not far out of the ballpark.
I searched through the forums for about an hour looking for any info, but didn't find anything. Please post a link if this has been discussed already.

Hey bud not sure if you noticed, but this is not the Q&A section. Questions are to be asked in Q&A.
....really you cant change that in the sense options somewhere? Just another reason Sense is lame, imo.
LauncherProPlus, FTW!!! I got one homescreen, and 15 icons in my dock, not to mention swype gestures, and running CM6 so i have lockscreen gestures as well...

Hey buddy, this is a development question. It was more of a suggestion of an idea that I had not seen before more than a question about something that exists.
The community is about making better devices, apps, etc. for all and there's no need to waste your time posting a reply about being in the wrong section. If it is violating anything, the mods can move it.
Moved to Q&A as this is a [Q]. The Android Development threads are for software coding/releases.
Bump. Nothing on this yet?
Any info would be nice.
Thanks
bump
Would love some guidance on this, hoping the # of homescreens config is held in a file somewhere and someone with a rooted phone can edit it?
Hello everybody here,
so lots of us said that we should have a "Spamming" thread for CM9 and 4.0 Android development made by Maclaw's DevTeam-thanks for them, again . So here it is:
Please guys, if you have any bugs and problems which are already mentioned in GitHub, but you don't care to "ask-first-then-shoot", then post your problem here.
Please, write here, and really, don't annoy dev's on their DEV thread. That's for them to submit upgrades, news, and stuff.
Thanks anyway, and please, let the Dev's work in the calm way it should be.
Spam and post your heartbreaks here
Thnx for the thread. I feel like I can post my non-contructive post yet not clutter the dev thread
I following/trying CM9 closely. It looks very promising can't wait for the finished ROM
I should make some time to properly test/bugreport in git.
Should be in general, not there.

have u ever thought, that 'tards constantly flaming and making EXCEPTIONALLY unnecessary threads such as this one, are in fact much worse than noobs whining about their gallery not working?
Seriously though, I've been following Maclaw's thread for weeks, and the spam is no where near annoying as some "certain efforts" to end it.
Haters gonna hate, noobs gonna noob, deal with it.
p.s i consider myself a noob as far as android goes. But i don't whine about it, and don't shout at people on forums.
p.s2 somehow I doubt that this message will make the impact I intended it to make... sad.
Oh, and another thing - how do you define "spamming" and it's relation to the original post? I'm not much of a linguist myself, but something tells me you're not either, therefore both of us should keep our mouths shut...?
Oh 2.0: did i mention that this whole thread is a spam? ( and what is it we do with spam nowadays huh? )
You made good points. I don't spam myself as I see others do. At first I thought this was a good idea. So the course of action is to kill this thread or let it die.

how about fixing 3d graphics in future? Now, Asphalt 5 is laggy on my Gio.
same as inotia, cant play currently
but that will be fixed when the rom features work flawless

feiks- if you dont feel that this therad is necessary, then ignore it. there are some people who think this is a good one, although Maclaw is right, this should be in general.
And yes, spaming the DEV post is something like the whining of ~15 people that gallery is not working, camera is not working...if they'd read first, then they would know what they can get from this rom.
Though, ignore this post if it's unnecessary for you.
For the others, enjoy.
A quick point about creating new threads and where to place them.
Question.
Are you actively developing something?
Answer.
Yes.
Result.
Thread should go in the Development section
----OR----
Answer.
No.
Result.
Thread should go elsewhere.

Intentionally creating threads in the wrong place, just annoys other users and creates work for me. In future think about where to place your thread.
If after creating a thread you think, "I should of posted that in 'General'". PM me or report the post, I'll happily move it.
Thank you
It was my fault to place it to development.

Loving the ICS ROM by Maclaw and the gang - awesome work - it keeps getting better and better with each release.
Android is new to me so still learning - trying to get text to speech working, of course to try out a Siri like app.
I cannot seem to find where to turn on text to speech. I have tried a couple of apps and it appears that it is not on - and I cannot find where to turn it on.
Thanks in advance for any help

Finally I can say something about CM9 and ICS. I've been quietly reading the development thread from the beginning and thanking developers' posts for many months.
Anyway, I read that next release will be faster and with more working settings. I can't wait to try it out. I tried Beta 2, because it got generally good feedback before, and I thought that maybe it is good enough for daily usage. True, it is functional enough, but just a bit too laggy and glitchy for my liking. It was a good experience to test it, and all in all it didn't seem that much different from Gingerbread afterall. I miss the ability to put widgets on homescreen by simply longpressing, now you have to go to app drawer and search there - but I'm sure I will get used to it in time. I like the new setup of settings menu though.
But my message to the development team and everybody else who helps them: Good luck and thank you! I will continue "thanking" your posts in the dev topic. We are lucky to have active CyanogenMod developers on our rather not-so-good and not-so-popular phone, and good developers too - Phiexz and Maclaw as the main men, but also others. Kudos.
Im dreaming about 3.0.8 kernel (or new) on ics 4.0.3 on Gio
If i get a new sms the phone wont viberate..
I have the silent profiel turned on but still normally i would hear the viberating sound getting a new message. This is a bit anoying cose often i have to react right away.
Any one know how to turn on the viberating?
Hi,
I installed beta3.
I can't download s2e from the market. Is any version that works with cm9?
Thanks
The betta 3 is a lot better alread. Things that dont work for me atm are: Camara (I did try other cammera apss to. No succes) The foto galary app will crash (I only have like 280 fotos. Kids there fun)
Playing movies (Xvid/divx) and mp3 does not really work well.
Thats it for no.. Got to work again.
Why Spam?
Just help Dev friends. Your support would encourge them to work hard on softwares. Sorry for bad bad english
There is a discussion in CM9 development topic about bootlogos. Am I the only one who doesn't care about it? I've disabled it anyway for faster booting. Why is bootlogo so important for some? For all I care it could be a steaming dog turd, it doesn't matter

Might be possible of someone were to dedicate their life to it, but no one cares about it enough to attempt.
You are just going to have to wait for either ports of the international jelly bean release or official or leaked versions of i747 jellybean.

No. The Ariel ROM is built off the Samsung TouchWiz stock ROM and is still Ice Cream Sandwich. Sense is not involved, that's HTC.

Oh, okay. My bad my good sir.
Touchwiz is an integrated framework. Samsung downloads the source from Google, modifies it, adds their own BS and bloat, recompiles it, then distributed it. The Touchwiz modifications reach deep into the system libraries. They also add their own libraries. None of which is present in an AOSP ROM. AOSP ROMs are compiled from the stock Google source so none of the library modifications or added libraries exist for any of the Touchwiz apps to work off of.

I do UTSE. I just couldn`t find anything concrete. Plus, logically, if you ask the questions that YOU want to know and you get the answers its better than going through 50 pages with only one person having the same problem as you.
ok i have a gripe. i'm very new to all this stuff. recently rooted and flashed and all that jazz. i come to this forum to get help and to research before i do anything stupid and brick my phone. and for the most part all my questions are answered without me ever having to post a thing. so thank you so very much. now having said that... some of the senior guys, you know who you are, the experienced "i'm too smart to deal with you morons" posters. give us a break. if you dont want to be bothered with noob questions here's a thought... dont reply. or maybe skip over the thread. please stop making us inexperienced people who are looking for advice and help too intimidated to post anything. i've gone through 5 threads in the last 15 minutes with some jerk trying to prove to us how stupid and moronic we are. if you don't want to help then shutup and carry on with your day. i'm sure you learned how to be polite and have some manners back in kindergarden.
thanks and sorry for the rant.
Is this possible with a build prop edit?
I know there are apps out there that will accomplish this but was wondering if there is a flashable zip or something we could modify in the build prop?
No. this mod is not done in the build prop. The tw launcher itself is what would need to be modded. If you look around you will find the thread by @kevinoliva113 that he posted these mods for KK TW roms. I suppose if you requested a modded Lollipop TW launcher he could probably add it to his thread. there may be other members who could also do this mod and post it. also you could maybe learn to do the mod yourself if you feel capable. If not then visit the thread i mentioned and ask for help there. Good luck.
I think you can accomplish this with app settings and xposed. You would have to be on kit kat. I've tried it and rotating the touch wiz launcher doesn't really work well. Some things bet cut out of the screen. Try it for yourself.

A bit late to this thread but I would love to learn how to get inside my phone and build mods like this. Been waiting on xposed for lollipop for some time now and getting a bit impatient so I would like to take a crack at this stuff and learn a thing or too along the way. Perhaps eventually even be able to contribute to xda and share my findings with others. Where would be the best place to start please and thank you?

My advice would be to search here on XDA. You can find a lot of useful information in the XDA University where the link can be found on the XDA portal homepage.
First thing you will need to learn is how to setup your machine with the proper java and android sdk for your machine. Next you'll need to gather the necessary tools to decompile apk's & jar files. There are several different ones. You'll also need to do a LOT of reading and research on the topic of "Android Development". There are several aspects and they vary in difficulty. The most basic thing you'll want to start with is correctly decompiling and recompiling apk's and jar files and that is just the beginning. Rom building has many things you'll have to learn as well as the proper machine to do so. A Linux machine would be nice but not completely mandatory. Windows works fine but for rom kitchens Linux is ideal. I would not attempt to dive into this stuff unless you have a lot of spare time and the mental capacity to absorb a lot of knowledge as well as have the desire & passion to do this sort of thing. It's not something the average person can just dive into and learn everything in one weekend. It'll take months or years of reading, experimenting, and trial & error. Getting help from those with knowledge and experience is another thing you'll want to do. People generally don't mind helping others but this isn't always the case. Choose your friends wisely and seek help from those known for there willingness to help others. Don't waste your time with people who are rude, condescending or who think they are better than you. As with any new endeavor, you simply have to learn as you go and it just takes time... a lot of time. We all learn new things everyday. Knowledge is king and trumps everything else. Get all you can while you can and nobody can ever take that away from you. And it's almost always free of charge if you look in the right places. good luck!
