Develop Bugs

Need advise or opinions

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.

[Q] Rom Questions?

OK, OK before anyone starts flaming me and saying read honestly it's too much to read I work and have a family and cant read 1,000 post threads to get my answer.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way let's start with what i'm looking for.
I want a rom that has mostly all the stock things like sprint nav, sprint zone, gtalk, sprint football, flashlight, fm radio etc...... Most of the stock goodies or at least an option to install what i want to install from the stock apps.
Also I want a functioning 4g, 3g and possibly a free hotspot app if not no big deal. I dont want a rom where major things (or mostly anything) is broken.
Now hears the hard part which would prob bring the flame, and please be gentle guys for example virus rom looks like it has some goodies, mikfroyo, and one i really like is myn's warm two point two.
With that said i need to have my phone work not halfway working but fully working web, calls, etc.......
Is it possible to have the best of both worlds with these roms fully functionality with the beautiful customization or is it impossible.
I want opinions or experiences or suggestions and please if your not gonna help my cause you dont have to post.
Thanks in advance to all who help in any way they can

I don't know what your idea of halfway working is, because pretty much all sense roms (besides Desire HD and Desire Z) here have everything working... Myn's is no exception. If you like the way his rom looks, use it. The only roms with outstanding issues (4g and hdmi) are aosp based roms (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, LiquidE). Hope this helps.
FYI, there is a Q&A (questions and answers) section, where this post would belong

semi new
I'm semi new to the android seen but I have used all of the following:
Myn's TwoPointTow
MIUI
Synergy
Virus AirBourne
CM6
Ava-FroyoV9
Frost
Fresh
Out of all of them my personal favorite is Ava-FroyoV9. It does everything I want with no problems what so ever and has a nice look to it also.
Again, just my opinion.

Using virus anthrax and its my favorite so far . Miui looked cool but buggy. And know 4 g. Avav9 was also great myn as well.Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

You don't have to read a 1000 pages to get this info..
the Dev's have all the info your looking for in the first post of their rom threads.
They say wether or not something works or not.. and if it has the stock apps your looking for.. and MOST of them give you the .APKs to install the stock apps after if you want them on you SD card after install..
Simple as that..
Simple rules of thumb:
if its a Sense based rom, everything works.. (Desire based sense roms excluded)
if its a ASOP based rom, no HDMI or 4G yet.
and Almost all of them have the wifi-tether program install by default for hotspot. If not its EASILY installable..
and to avoid flaming wear a fire proof suit. (q&a section, there are no stupid questions there)

Azrael best Rom if u ask me
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

thanks for all you guys response and i will use the q&a section for things like this for now on and Mods if you wanna move to proper section go ahead.

I personally like xxbabiboixx and virus anthrax ROM.. just a matter of style.

funny thing is i work and have kids wife and still im able to post in the correct section and search

hahaha. lol. this is hilarious. cause i have kids, wife and a job also and just like CheesyNutz i was able to find all the information i needed by putting the time in to search for what i needed to find. it also didnt take reading 1000's of post's. but that is beyod the point...... oh wait no it is the point. he knew that he was going to get flamed for not wanting to search the forum for the info he needed. instead he just went ahead and started yet another thread asking the same question asked in other threads. maybe that is why you have to read 1000's of post's.
Okay with that being said...... I personally like AZRAEL rom and the stock sprint apk's are included in a folder that is added to the sdcard when you install the rom.

[Q] Getting Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on Verizon

So by now we all know that Jelly Bean 4.2 has been released and has already been pushed to a lot of Galaxy Nexus devices around the globe. Myself, like many others, have a Galaxy Nexus on the Verizon network. I'm just as eager as anyone to get the 4.2 update but I do realize it's going to be a while before Verizon officially has the 4.2 update for us. What are my options as of now and the near future? Are there any ROMs I can use with the Verizon network and run 4.2? I'm currently running 4.1.1 JRO03O, so would I have to find a way to update to 4.1.2 before I could update to 4.2? Also, if I am able to find a ROM that will get me to 4.2, what features do I have to worry about losing? Many features of my phone I hold close, so I'd like full disclosure on which features could be compromised. I really appreciate your time for helping me!
Also, please be as detailed as possible with your responses - I imagine there are many others that view the forums like myself, looking for the answers to these questions without having to read through multiple 100+ page threads, finding answers bit by bit. A lot of people are running stock JB 4.1.1 on VZW network like myself and could benefit from these answers. Thanks so much guys!

go check the verizon dev forum. thats your best bet.

You could just flash the 4.1.2 Takju firmware then wait a couple of hours and recieve it, thats what I did and I recieved it within 2 hours if you are really impatient.

I appreciate the simplicity if your answers, but I've been in the Verizon dev forum for a while now. I continue to read through thread after thread, but I want definitive answers. Please link me to the threads in the Verizon dev forum of ROMs that would work for me please. I created this thread so that others who were in the same situation as me could find the answers they need quickly, without having to browse through the verizon dev forum for hours and still feel unsure about flashing a rom. Again, if you don't mind, just link me to some of the threads you feel are important in relation to my situation. I'm more than happy to read through the thread, every single page. I just want to have a little assurance in the ROM I'm loading onto my Nexus. I need to make sure I don't need to run a 4.1.2 ROM first or if I can go straight from 4.1.1 to 4.2. etc etc Thanks guys

so you want to be spoonfed because you cannot read the title of the threads?
if you're replacing the system (which you are if you're flashing a rom) it doesnt matter what version you were on.

there are a couple 4.2 ROMs out already. they are all a little finnicky. my suggestion is to wait a couple days for the bugs to be worked out. as far as i know, some of the things not working last i checked was.
google location, go Google Now isn't working
photosphere was crashing in the gallery (although i was able to use it just now)
swype typing was not working (i have a 4.2 transformation package that i flashed and got it working)
overall, it is pretty stable with very few issues.
as for features missing from what you currently have or want, i dont know. its just Stock android 4.2 for right now.
lock screen widgets
photosphere
quick settings
new clock app
new Google apps (calendar, gmail with pinch to zoom ect)
its all there.

Flash CM10, it has a built in update checker so you will be good to go when they drop a 4.2 nightly.

Thanks for all the information! I guess I'll wait a week or so and see which ROM is out at that point and has the best reviews for stability and functionality. And yes, I can read the thread titles... but when you click on thread after thread and they were all started MONTHS ago, they aren't much help for an update that came out days ago. And also, none of the thread titles say anything about 4.2... sure, they say JB, but JB is 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.2 so that doesn't help much either. That's why I asked. Also because in the VZW development forum it says DONT ASK QUESTIONS so... where else would I go? Isn't that the point of a Q&A forum? To answer questions and not go around being a smart ** to people just looking for help? Like seriously?

That is IF you want CM and the potential bugs that come with nightly builds.

does anyone know that status of Miracast on the Galaxy Nexus?

CM10 Rom Help

I have been trying to figure out two things with this ROM that perhaps someone can point in the right direction on:
1. WI-FI tether seems to be inconsistent, slow or not useable when tethered to my New Ipad compared to the speed I get directly to my phone. Not looking for exact same speed, just basic functionality. Is there any special settings I need to configure to make it work better?
2. Gmail - Why can't I email out to my gmail groups? I used to be able to when it was stock and even rooted...a basic function that I need multpile times daily and REALLY need a work around fast.
Thanks a ton!

You should try the CM10 thread or Q&A.

I would love to but don't know where that is at.
Thanks

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Posting something once in the wrong location. Okay sure no problem... but posting it TWICE one after another, in the same wrong location... come on...
And then, trying to placate your ignorance by giving some BS excuse about not knowing where it's at...? If you have the ROM and have it installed, you've obviously been around enough to know how to go about getting it which would incidentally make it equally as possible that you could find where it's at.
It's quite obvious that you posted here because you thought it was going to get "more attention."
I refuse to condone these actions, and thus I will not help you. Good luck to you, sir.

[Q][Help] AOSP Based ROMs and Social Networking apps

i know Touchwiz based ROMs are more stable for the GS3 and its hardware, but anyone knows why the GS3 (speaking in reference to the sph-l710 model) doesn't wanna play nice with Social apps i.e., instagram, Vine etc?
here are the issues; for example running instagram's "video" feature, on an AOSP based ROM, it reacts pretty funky. doing segmented videos causes the camera to have a green/purple hazy effect (like a bad VGA monitor)
other minimal issues exist too, but I wanna hear from y'all what could be the issue?
Tried Various ROMs
>>CM/AOKP
>>ILLusions ROM/Slim Bean Roms
>>Liquid Smooth RomROM
ALL of them the SAME problems issues exist.. sucks because i really love AOSP for what it is, and HALO))) and all its goodness
so, what issues are you guys having if any? are you aware of them? did you find a fix?
Lemme Know!

my bad in advance if this issue was answered, acknowledged, or solved prior..
..
but don't just say it, point me into the direction of resolution with a link

There's not really a resolution because most if not all AOSP roms are based on CM, or at least pull a good chunk of code from there
Issues like these happen because AOSP wasn't meant to run on our device, and so it is essentially ported from source using bits and pieces from different devices.
So until some fix is found for CM, 99% of other AOSP roms will have the same issue.

cool thanks. resolution would basically have to be from ground up
and specific to each device
aka too much work for the Dev team
I understand.

Join the CM team then and fix it. You act as if they had some sort of obligation to fix everything you find.
Don't complain if you don't understand the underlying structure and aren't willing to DO.

I figured its a lot of tedious work to make things specific to each device and not complaining @ all
so its either you drank the "xda forum kool-aid" or you've been trolled for the past year you've been on this thing.
ultimately. just go away. n don't jump to conclusions
