Hi there!
I have a question:
Is it possible to create (or may be it already exists) a ROM with following features:
Android 2.3.x
Sense 2.1
RTL (hebrew) support (built in, or ROM should be deodexed)
Without any kind of a2sd/data2sd built in .
The reason I ask is I am using Link2SD solution for Desire's small storage problem.
It turns out that link2sd is not so popular, though IMHO it is very good solution.
Anyway, all ROMs I have encountered so far use some kind of xxx2sd solution,
which I am not interested in, and that interferes with link2sd.
So if you can point me to such ROM or create one, it would be great!
Thank you in advance!
There are only two reasons that I can think of, why I should upgrade from GB to ICS on my Arc S..
..namely these missing features, with the current GB version:
1) Proxy support.
2) Sorting contacts by last name.
Does anyone know if these features has been added to the ICS upgrade?
..if not, I think I'll pass on the extra bloat.
Kindly search for your answers in this thread.
Thank you!
What is the best custom rom for XXLE1
It needs dutch language
the FAQ is right there...thanks.
stop spamming
this childish question
go to development section see rom watch their specifications
choose which hits your mind
do make new thread which meaning is 'null'
use FAQ for common questions.........
FYI most custom rom here are developed from asian region stock rom. as far as I know only old chobits and old hybrid support multilanguage rom. I'm not sure if the newer version is also comes with multilanguage feature but the new hybrid definetely doesn't have that feature.
PS: I hope you'll put your next question on FAQ.
Hello XDA,
I've been following you for years. I started following you with my first Android phone, an HTC Hero. I've been very happy to be able to use a community ROM that made a far better experience than the stock ROM.
I recently got a brand new HTC One V PrimoU, and I'd like to make it my new polyvalent tool.
I'm not a noob in computers, kernel/linux related stuff, electronics, networking. I already tried some ROMs. In fact, I started with KangBang 3.0 (the same version as now I think), but both WiFi and BlueTooth were not working. Android could not even detected the WiFi MAC address, so I guess it was a driver or wireless chip firmware related problem. I think I was the only one affected, so it was maybe a bad flash or I used the wrong kernel. I did'nt investigate more at the time, but if it happens again to me, I'll send some system/kernel logs.
I then tried AOKP, had a great (really) experience with it, except that the Jack plug sound quality was awful. No bass, only mid/high tones. I even thought my speakers were dead at first, but then tried with headphones. Now, I want to try KangBang again, because that ROM was good, and fast, just missing WiFi.
TL;DR
I'd like to ask some precise questions about KangBang and the HTC One V.
I initially wanted to ask in the ROM dev thread, but can't since I'm a new user, so I ask here. Sorry if the questions are stupid/simple/answered, but let's make a clear base, with precise interrogations and answers, so that they will never be asked again
The kernel is included in the .zip file. Still, do we need to flash manually ? Or will the Aroma installer handle that ?
What about ROM Manager ? Is it recommended to use or is it a good way to brick a phone as I heard ?
Does this ROM change the base Android system and file structure ? Would it be compatible with a side-by-side installation of a Linux system such as Debian ? (To see what I mean by side by side installation of Linux, search Debian Kit for Android on Google, as I can't post links)
Also, I'd like to tell ROM makers these advices (don't take them bad, I you think I'm wrong about them there's no problem, just tell me why) :
It would not be a bad idea to give a simple statistic about the ROM : the load average with the ROM installed on an idle and clean phone. That would give a good indication of idle power consumption and ressource wasting.
I see that users reporting problems with their devices NEVER include any kind of debug information. Maybe you should ask for them, just because by searching for this debug information they might solve the problem themselves. Most Android systems and kernels report a LOT of information, that we can access with simple commands such as dmesg.
Last but not least, I would like to thank you, ROM developers and XDA users for allowing me to play this way with my phone, and to make it work exactly the way I want.
Hugo G.,
ummm this device has kangbang?? (btw questions go into q&a )
so i'll move onto the TL;DR which i was grateful for
1) The rom thread should say what kernel but yes, we don't have s-off so flashed manually
2) Ignore rom manager don't touch it
3) think of it as the differences say with debian vs ubuntu vs mint all basically debian but all with they're own differences (pros and cons)
also about the "suggestions" to the devs, that will NEVER go down well, why should YOU suggest to use what to put in the threads also i know in my threads i ASK for logcats time and time again...
hope this helps
if you need more info i'll be welcome to add more, but 1st i need sleep BADLY
Well, it is?
I have an Alcatel C9, it's a really nice phone but Alcatel gives no support to basically anything they make... There are some really nice ROMs for this phone, but neither of them go pass android 4.2.2.
What I really want is the phone to keep the compatibility with the newer apps because the hardware can do it but well I can't install anything that need android 4.3+
Can I edit an existing ROM, maybe my own stock ROM to upgrade the android version without having to start a gigantic project? If the anwer is yes, then I will start studing the subject more and try to make it hapend, if not well thanks for your time.
I am a programer in java and C#, I just don't have experience in the android Custom ROM world, so don't know how possible is this.
Excuse my english, it's not my native language.
