hey i know the whole OMG APPS2SD WE HAVE ROOT thing is big around here. but i dont have use for apps2sd at all. i have 14 apps and i change firmware like 9001 times a day when something new comes out. but i have 2gigs of OGG music files. and every firmware i have used ends up bugging out when im playing music and i get a notifacation with the usb headphone adapter connected. could we get a firmware optimized for music and enjoying it instead of showing off our rooted phones with no real use behind it. redirect this post if you need to. i know the whole "WRONG FORUM TOPIC LOCKED" thing happens alot here.
you can try the getting the EQ mod or the Max volume mod as well
would there be any use in me attempting to set up the sdk and pulling an all nighter to learn how to make my own NON BLEEDING EDGE but very stable release? cuz i would love to just have a stable phone with every volume thing and EQ pre installed. and that pesky sound service bug, dats gotta get fixed.

has preinstalled max volume, also a selection of the roms
You don't need the sdk to use the audio mods. Read a little bit more, and you will discover that you can use lucidrem's script to download the the audio mods without a pc. It takes a little patience,some time, and using the terminal. But it is easy if you follow the instructions. Also the developer of the audio mods also has several custom roms with the mods built in.
Edit. If you want a stable Rom use jf1.51, thedudes 1.2b you can add the audio mod on top of the using the bat files that comes with the audio mods
i'll try out *** - JF1.51 CRB43 US with V2 then. im used to using the terminal, its not a problem to mod my own, but being able to just quickly flash my phone back is too tempting. and @ubernicholi, i was meaning the sdk to build my own firmware as a whole. i assume its going to take me a while to understand why this whole multiple firmware bidness is a good thing, when its basicly taking all the newest unsupported code from the tree, and applying it and modifying it for the Dream handset, and in doing so, giving it 3rd party support. like downloading windows xp black pirate edition on TPB, to me its useless. ahhh the beauty of open source ^__^
why not go back to stock? it's not bleeding edge and it'll play your music just fine.
theres no shame in that.
wait. no, no...there is shame. terrible, terrible amounts of shame.
yea, but then i cant use debian. which is pretty cool so far.

lol I apologize I couldn't resist. So if a music centric build is what you are looking for, then it would be possible to strip out a lot of unnecessary features. First off, I think Google sync which is constantly running in the background can be taken out. Applications that are constantly refreshing, such as Mail can be removed. I understand you have apps to SD currently installed. Try internalizing the Music.apk, moving it back into the faster more reliable internal memory. Moreover, a good place to start I believe would be with the Google Ion build, which is lightning fast.
if i knew how to do that, i would slim down a stock JF update.
I think you should start out by flashing to Google Ion. Then, using ADB on your computer, enter ADB shell and being to manually remove the unnecessary applications. Whatever you don't need, take it out. As for Google sync, go to settings and disable it. Also in settings, disable notifications. At a point, you can even just turn off the radio and switch to airplane mode. That way no other services are running and you can listen to music uninterrupted, at the cost of not being able to accept calls.
wow, thanks for the support. i was looking at ION and thinking that it would be perfect. but im not really sure how to set up the development on fedora 11.

Ion FTW.
You set it up the same as you do on any other distro...
and...
what do you honestly do with debian on your phone?
As in on your computer? Are you running Linux or any operating system based on Linux? If so, unfortunately I can't help you there, I mostly use Windows and occasionally Wubi ):
(In all honesty I have very little knowledge when it comes to running Linux on a computer, so sorry about that haha)
I forgot to add, maybe increase your processor clock speed to 528Mhz. Look for an app called SetCPU. It is here on the forums for free, as the creator is among us or alternatively download it from the market, however it is a paid app on their.
if u use ion use R1 its faster than R2 in my opinion
i use um that overclock widget, i love that thing, works so well. umm. debian on my phone is pretty cool. it has potential. umm i might set this up and get a small release with just my name and roadmap on it.

Hmm.. looking at your signature, overclocking your PC, and even getting Debian to work in the first place, I think you are definitely capable and very experienced. Best of luck to you
Let us know if you are able to get that stripped down version of Google Ion working. I would do it, but I don't know how to resign updates and I just finally settled down on Haykuro 6.0.1 after a ROM struggle between JAC's Hero, TwistedUmbrella's Hero and JF1.51 where I was flashing a new ROM on a daily basis.
my only thing is my work ethic and lack of programming experiance. if anyone could help me get started. hell, i might actually post something in the android development outlining the project goals and stuff like that.

Hi all, Each time there is news about leak firmware, I believe many of us here go mad and try to flash to the latest firmware, even though we know that those leak beta firmware may not be stable are and might bricked our phone permanently.
Among those firmwares we flashed, Froyo leak firmwares those we everyone is looking forward, one of the reason is of course promise from Samsung since day one that our SGS will get Froyo release.
But I would like to know what do you expect from Froyo release?
New function? Lag fix? JIT? New TouchWiz? Better Exchange support? GPS fix?
Personally, I'm looking forward "better" Exchange support, especially
1.GAL support,
2.task sync,
3.full table view support,
4.meeting invitation request/response
5. Away setup
Most of the features listed up there is supported by my older Nokia E71.it's sad to see Samsung rollout Froyo without those.
PS: item 1, 4, 5 is supported by HTC sense on their Desire of I'm not mistaken.
How about you all? Mind to share your Froyo wish list?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Would love a lag fix, but have my doubts it's gonna happen in an official firmware from Kies. What I'm looking forward to the most is Norwegian Swype, the screen rotation lock, integration into Chrome (chrome to phone) and being able to auto-update my apps.
I also heard something about an integrated 'official' task killer?
i'm only looking forward to the Install to EXTERNAL SD card option
and the ability to track each single app that uses the internet
only the app2sd thing to free some space. possible gps fixes? idk. not expecting much really.
i'm an update-whore. i don't know what it will help with a fresh flash, but i want it.
Speed boost. The Nexus One got a major speed boost from FroYo, I'm hoping it's the same way for SGS.
I hope Samsung dumps their RFS file system for something decent like ext2 or ext4.
And to optimise performance so it can beat the Nexus 1 like it should with the powerful hardware it has.
We already know about things like Flash and apps to SD card because they're in the JPC beta firmware (which I'm using).
I would like:
1. Flash
2. Lag fix
3. Speed boost
4. Better contact organisation.
5. GPS Fix
6. (I don't know how ppl call that but on iphone when you want to press bettween two letters when you are typing you got like some magnifier).
7. Serbian Swipe
I hope to see a speed improvement, since the N1 got it too. I really don´t think that it´s needed, because i come from WM6.X and i´m very happy with my SGS, but would be nice.
GPS should be fixed too.
Everything that comes additionaly is welcome
Like others, I'd love to see Samsung replaces RFS with a filesystem that has actually proven itself performance-wise like ext3. I'm not holding my breath, though...

Thanks for pointing it out, I'm expecting GAL support to cover other outlook info, for example phone number contact.
It's funny that you can use "Get Friend" function for FB, Tweeter and myspace, but not Exchange contact via GAL, weird, don't you think so?
It will be good if Froyo can support Landscape mode for desktop like what they show in IFA on another model

All Android phones can support it. The reason it doesn't by default is that it's confusing to some, and causes some display issues and heinous redraw times as you flip from orientation to orientation.
And that Epic/Pro in the picture above doesn't support it either, it just goes right to landscape when the keyboard is open, just like the Droid, MyTouch, G1, etc.
get alternative home screens like launcher pro and you can go landscape. but I hated it. annoying really.

I have car dock module, and I like to put the phone in Landscape mode for GPS. so it comes handy if Tw offer landscape.
The issue with launcher pro is that, it can't call Samsung Widget
I just can't have both world.
I would like (in order):
1. Lag fix
2. GPS Fix
3. Froyo's Speed boost
4. Improved battery life
5. Flash
1. Support for changing tone for calendar reminders
2. Lagfix
3. Remove autocapitalization of I when using Swype (since I mostly write in swedish)
These things I really want since they can almost be considered bugs. But I will of course enjoy everything that gets added with 2.2 like speed boost and such.
1. Lag fix
2. Lag fix
3. Lag fix
And by the way, I really hope they fix the lag...

there is a conflict between 3 & 4.
This ROM is rather incomplete as it is part of a project to backport parts of other HTC Sense 2.2 (Froyo) MDPI ROMs in ordr to have an HTC based Froyo ROM for Eris. Unlike the CyanogenMOD ports which have provided versions for models of their Froyo ROMs which were much easier to work on the Eris and have had 5+ months of painstaking work where this is only on its first month.
I'm just trying to get the optimization aspects done while others get full hardware functionality working, although I may join them soon. So what works? Allot actually. What doesn't? Thanks to Tazz, Tenzo, Conap & Decadance not much (BT audio, camera and WIFI hotspot).
It is fully themed using a combination of contributions providing a clean and somewhat unique Expresso look as well as many common performance tweaks which, to me, have provided a smoother, less choppy feel when interacting with the UI when compared to its parent ROMs.
Please note that portions of this ROM fall under the GPL, Apache and BSD licences. You may find the details of these licences here.
Since I rarely use the camera and never used BT audio I am currently using this as my day to day ROM. That does not mean it provides me a full experience. It is still very bleeding edge.
Features
Fully Expresso Based Themed
Additional Eye Candy
Official Google Reader
OI File Manager (Open Source, Apache License)
No BT Audio, Camera or Wifi Hotspot
Speed Optimizations
All HTC Goodies
Cache2cache (over 100MB additional app space)
Smartass CPU Scheduler (less voltage, automatic sleep cap, etc...)
CPU overclocking & underclocking provided by the feature above
HTC Marketplace in addition to Market
DroidX Boot Screen
No lame rainbow spotted default BG
etc...
New in this Release
Put all stock HTC apps back
Improved stability (less random FCs)
Removed OI Notepad since HTC Notepad works just fine
Added 3D gallery in addition to 2D gallery
Added Car Home (not tested)
etc...

NOTE:
Before releasing more updates I am moving my efforts towards helping Tazz & Tenzo with core functionality and take what I can for that and help Kaos with Gingerbread. Once all core functionality is in place for this ROM's parent ROMs I will get this going as a serious ROM with the same focus it has now. So development on this ROM is still 100% active but it is gonna take a bit before you see a new release.

Moved to a much faster 8 x64 CPUs/32GB RAM/SCSI server at my colo (able to serve about 1GBPS).
Hope it helps, sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm going to give this a try also. I've got two micro sd cards... one for Eclair ROMs and the other for Froyo ROMs. The Eclair card is partitioned for apps2sd and the Froyo card is all Fat32. I'm currently running Tenzo's xtrRCMix-Sense2.1 which is pretty awesome, but I think its time to swich cards for a while!

I'm getting the same thing.
I'm getting installation aborted when I try to install it. I did a complete wipe and boot in recovery.
I tired re signing the .zip file I downloaded and even that wouldn't work. I opened it in winRAR just to check and I get a break operation where it says unexpected end of archive and it says there are 0 bytes of data. Properties says its 120MB but I don't have a checksum to verify that the file is intact. It seems whatever was uploaded has been corrupted.
The archive is corrupt. Please re-upload it.

Ditto here.
I downloaded it late last night and it took FOREVER! I see he updated the link... Anyhoo. I was able to get it to install and it seemed pretty smooth/stable. I saw a couple FCs.. one in particular was in Settings > Network > Mobile Net options. Each time I tried to get into that setting page, it would FC. I also tried to get Facebook from the Market and it would never download.
I like the new sense ui though! it looks really clean. I've not sampled Tazz's or Tenzo's yet.
No LWPs worked for me.
Switching back to XTRSense for now.
Keep up the work!

were you able to get bluetooth audio to work? I've been using Tenzo's which is awesome except the bluetooth will connect but i can't hear out of it (which is necessary in CA for driving)
Searched for this, and found CM6 speed test results, but none for CM7 and if the kernels are different, options can be different, so results can be different.
I've tried various ROMs since CM dropped official G1 support, and they're all very similar, but I needed somewhere to document the settings that work best for me.
I only use Quadrant for my benchmarking. I feel it's well-rounded in its tests, it's free, and I get a seemingly completely arbitrary number at the end.
The best Quadrant score I can recall getting was 373, although I can't help but think I once got in the low 400s. I do remember trying every trick I could to get it into the low 300s, but I'm consistently getting 360's and peaking at low 370s with the current setup.
I'm currently running FireRat's CM7 Magpie, version 2011-09-26, which is only one version behind his latest as of this posting. I am running ADW Launcher as downloaded from market (because I like how its menu entries are arranged better -- that's the only reason). I have only 2 screens, and really don't even need that many.
Performance Settings Adjustments:
MENU / SETTINGS / CYANOGENMOD SETTINGS /
Code:
PERFORMANCE
CPU
ONDEMAND, 176, 614, Restore on boot=Yes
Compcache - 18% (Default)
NO JIT
NO DITHERING
YES PURGING OF ASSETS
NO MEMORY LOCKS
VM Heap=24m (default?)
My Micro-SD is a class 4, 4GB. Partitioned [*FAT32][~350M Ext4][64M Swap]
and I'm not using the swap partition AFAIK.
Non-performance settings adjustments:
(Really, I doubt any of these have much effect if any at all on performance)
Code:
Menu/Settings
CyanogenMod Settings
Application
*All left at defaults
Display
All unchecked except 0 and 90 degrees rotations
Input
Only change was long-press home, set to show 12 screens.
Interface
Edited my power widget to my liking. Doubt it has any effect on speed.
Status Bar Tweaks
Checked: All except Status Bar Brightness.
AM/PM set to small, Alternate Signal left at default (bars)
*Everything else in "Interface" left at defaults.
Lockscreen
Disable - unchecked
Style Options - Ring, Ring, Custom App Starter, added Camera, default background
Widget Options
Always display battery
Centered
No to the Music
Next Calendar (doesn't seem to work)
--All Calendars selected
--Reminders-Only not checked.
--Lookahead 3 days.
Unlock options -- All left at defaults (all unchecked)
No to the Gestures.
Finally, in MENU/Settings/Applications/Preferred Install Location, SD EXT is selected. In Applications/Development, USB Debugging is on (disabling it did not speed things up any) and stop-via-long-press is disabled (probably no effect).
I *am* running a theme, but since a theme is mainly just picture swaps (I think?) it shouldn't affect much. I'm running GlassMix. Not the coolest, but not bad at all. I rather like it.

Feel free to reply with your best quadrant score and settings that got it -- preferably on the same ROM but other CM7-based ROMs would be welcome comparisons...
The first ,i learn,thanks
Getting a quadrant score of 393 with 2.3.5 GRP CM7, overclock to 614 MHz, purging of assets on, and the disabling verify-bytecode hack. Fastest I have seen on a g1! I get 369 with normal CPU clock.

Might have to try this ROM out. When it first showed up, it seemed to be little more than a compilation direct from CM7 and AOSP sources, which of course anyone who can follow a HOWTO can do themselves... and many have. Back then, I felt this guy was just one more of those guys. I wasn't convinced he really had any developing experience before starting with it, and I really wasn't impressed with him personally, based on comments he made in several threads -- particularly against a known (if sometimes disliked) developer who has contributed a decent amount to the community. I'll have to go back and see what all has been done recently in this ROM if its performance is consistently good enough that the hack you mentioned worked so well (it made no difference on the CM7-Magpie I'm running).
EDIT: Nevermind, turns out I didn't know who I was talking about.. actually, I did know who I was talking about, it just turned out he was someone other than the person who actually started GRP so nevermind all this (read next two posts)...

Oh, okay, then forget my last statement cus I was under the impression it was someone else entirely... maybe someone was going to make their own and started with GRP as a base... but the way I read this guy's posts, it looked like _he_ started GRP. Thanks for the clarification (I probably could have found this out if I had taken time to research the ROM, come to think of it... () )

Its ok, i know why, you must think dw9906 made the rom, but he was just building the rom and posting it here because jbird gave him consent to do so since he was going to be unable to continue the rom since he was accepted to the CyanogenMod team. I'm not sure if he started GRP by himself, I think it was a couple of people who started it.
Also, i have one question for you, which rom FEELS faster for you, Cyanogenmod 7 Magpie, or ADS Magpie?
I noticed you used to run ADS Magpie and are now running CM 7 Magpie, and I'm just curious to know why.
Good info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uhm, honestly, they do FEEL about the same, which is why speed isn't the biggest concern for me. BOTH of them get laggy at times, and by laggy I mean two things
1) Sometimes scrolling through my apps drawer is blocky (not smooth).
2) Sometimes apps take a while to open, or, simply to do things.
Usually, 1) happens more frequently, but it doesn't bother me as my phone's doing a LOT of things.
2) However, doesn't happen that often on either ROM. However, when it happens, it's always after I've been running several different programs, especially maps with GPS enabled.
Usually, I have most of my phone turned off, so GPS, 3G, rotation, none of that comes into play in the list of things my phone is doing. If I had them running all the time, I'd be on FroYo or Eclair, not Gingerbread. The phone couldn't handle it. Or, I couldn't handle the phone.
In the end, the two are largely the same for me. The main reason I chose Firerat's over And DiSa's is that the Firerat ROM has CPU government built-in, where I have to have a CPU setting utility with ADS. Also, there was some thing or two else that Firerat/CM7 have built-in that ADS/ezGingerbread do not. Maybe the sound equalizer? Not that I run that too often, but it's nice to have.
EDIT: And you're right, I thought it was DW. Plus, you explained there why it must have seemed that DW just picked up someone else's work... he did! but I know now why, and I was missing that info before, so thanks again... Still didn't care for the interaction 'tween him and Firerat but that was something else (and yeah, FR isn't the easiest to get along with but I tend to let peoples' personalities just kinda slide -- usually -- especially in a text forum where tonal variations aren't heard ).

I managed to get a build of XBMC working on Tegra2's including the A500.This only works for SD content currently and hardware decoder support will be necessary to get 720p and 1080p support.
Please note the Tegra2 is an unsupported platform currently.
DO NOT post builds to VANILLA builds. They WILL NOT run on Tegra2 devices.

Common Problems:
If you receive a flickering screen after the update, clear the application cache and reboot the device. This may need to be done more than once.

Found it cool let me know if I can help in any way cheers wondering is audio choppy on your a100? Audio is choppy and video tends to get out of sync and a bit of stutter even on sd video. On the plus side the touched skin works well with this build
Awesome! Awesome!
Works like a charm on my A500. Installed some plugins and my fav NAVI-X. Its 3am and I need some sleep. So I will continue to play around with it over the next day or so.
XBMC on Android takes it to the next level on tablets
One thing I did notice was the volume level seems to be in the low side even after I cranked everything up.
srry to be ignorant but what exactly is xbmc for? is it just basically a media player?

I found the volume very low until I maxed it out and then went into XBMC. IIRC the XBMC volume is independent of the device volume. The xbmc volume also has a large number of levels, I find it easier to adjust the volume within the app by holding down volume up / down.

I have had good and bad success with SD content depending on container format, movement and other factors that tend to pop up with video encoding. 720p is close, it looks like the Tegra2 devices will need hardware decode support for 720p or 1080p based on the framerates I was seeing.
Can not run on WDS jellybean(CM10) ROM. It installed fine, but once started the application, screen flickered continuously.
Anyway, thanks for posting.

I had this issue myself at one point. I cleared the application cache and relaunched to fix the issue. Another user reported a similar problem that was resolved after rebooting the device.

Thank, I've gotten it to work. No more flickering of the screen, but now I can not seem to access my music and video from external SDcard. Do I need to copy my music and video to internal SDcard?
Thank again,

You need to add a source. When it pops up you will want to select "root filesystem" instead of "sdcard". This will let you navigate to the external sd card mount point. Usually somewhere under /mnt. In my case it is /mnt/external_sd on CyanogenMod.
Works great on my A500!
Great build already
Kinda works on my toshiba thrive have to tap a cupple times to get stuff to work
At the risk of sounding the fool, does anyone here know how to:
A.) Change the time zone. It says it's 1:47 AM tomorrow on my a500.
B.) Change the weather from celsius to farenheit? Here in the US, C is weird. I see 28 degrees & expect to need my snow shovel.
Thanks!

I believe these options are somewhere under the settings pages. The XBMC wiki has pretty good information on how to adjust the various settings.

Are you using the default skin or the touch optimized skin? The touch optimized skin does a better job than the default. However, they are still working out some quirks with touch.

Anyone got this working on xoom. It starts up. Then crashes
This is an awesome start for this on the A500. If and when this works fast and efficiently on my tab, it will replace a lot of different apps I use to do the job that just this one can do For now, I will just keep tweaking it as best I can and see where I can go with it. Thanks to the folks working to make XBMC on the A500 a possibility.

I think I broke it.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Forgive me.
I thought folks were on 1.30.xxx or even higher by now.
And my battery life is pathetic.
And i keep getting notifications about having connected to my home network without ever leaving the house, I get good signal clear to my car.
Many things to love about HTC 10. A number of things... not so much.
I don't understand your problem. Looks like your phone has the most recent Verizon OTA already.
I swear, I thought I read that a 1.30.xxx was available.
You're right, it appears I have the latest from Verizon.
I thought the newer versions I must have imagined (or maybe other carriers released) would solve all my stock HTC 10 woes.
I sincerely apologize to the forum for my version oversight. I expected to have another OTA by now, restoring my confidence in my flagship phone's ability to function as one would expect.
Don't go by software version numbers for OTA's; the numbers are for internal control, not external tracking. Currently the Verizon 10 is on 1.19.605.22. The 605 means Verizon (Spring is 651). The Unlocked and I believe possibly the Sprint versions are at 1.80 or something. As a sometimes software and hardware tester for HTC I can assure you, the numbers don't mean anything. I see issues with my later test builds that I never see on my retail handset, and the OTA's don't come down until the carriers have approved them, long after HTC is done building and testing.

I appreciate your advisement.
Why am I not surprised that carriers drag their feet to push valuable updates while urgently putting more bloatware and spyware on my phone...

Every Verizon 10 owner, whether rooted or not, should go into Settings--> App Manager and DISABLE DTIgnite. It's nothing but a bloatware engine. Disable it, remove whatever bloatware you can (or disable it) and you will be rid of it. I disable: Verizon Cloud; Verizon Navigation; CallerID and DTIgnite. I confess, I prefer Messages+ over the default messaging app.

Already annihilated DTIgnite in every way I could find. Man, it was stubborn! I've disabled all Verizon apps except "My Verizon Mobile", instead stripping it of every permission.
I use Signal as my default messaging app, as recommended by Edward Snowden himself! lol
I literally ripped out every bit of software I don't use/need. The default mail app, Zoe, NFL Mobile, Visual Voicemail, all the Amazon apps, the list goes on. Battery has been so poor, however, I thought maybe I broke it.
I unplugged 40 minutes ago and i went from 100% to 94% in that time.
Any idea what app populates /data/system/dropbox ? i found files there logging practically all usage. i have since emptied the folder and changed its permissions so that "system" user no longer had access.
adding that my remedy seems to have worked, and no weird errors have presented themselves

Well, I'd like to actually use the phone, so I don't go quite so far. Zoe I keep active, My Verizon I keep to monitor data usage, Visual Voicemail is now free and actually useful; Amazon apps are definite battery sucks but can be tamed. I didn't to into the way you can fix permissions using App Manager....that was not the point of the earlier post. I'm relatively content with my battery life, but I also run a custom kernel.

I didn't know you could have a custom kernel on stock ROM.

Sure, why not? If you're bootloader unlocked and rooted, go for it. Elemental X 0.6 is the last version for the current retail firmware. The later version(s), I think it's up to 0.9, are for the 1.8x base. I wouldn't run it on Verizon until post whenever the OTA drops.

I lack a proper education of how the software actually works at that level in a *nix-like environment, especially Android.
I have intermediate experience with *nix. I've set up DHCP servers and Apache servers, SMB servers and proxy servers. I use CLI or GUI, on x86, x64, and RPi (arm). Rarely, if ever, have I required modifying the kernel of an installation. Not since compiling Gentoo completely from source 10 years ago.
I would benefit from a "for dummies" video when it comes to the many aspects of low-level Android customization.

Well, there are plenty of threads on XDA for that. Bottom line is that once the devices are unlockable, some developers like to cook ROMs, others like to do kernels, still others focus on recoveries. If you stick around long enough, you recognize developers who move from device to device the same way users will through time. The developer of Elemental X kernel, @flar2 is a long-time kernel developer who has done solid work in the past, so I have absolute faith in running his kernels on my handset. The Elite kernel developer, @buckmarble, is also a great kernel developer.
I wouldn't presume to write or code myself. The most I ever do is put things in or take them out of custom ROMs before flashing, but lately I have stuck with stock ROMs until devices are "end of life," (which is why I'm running a custom ROM on my One Max, and will soon probably have to flash a custom ROM to my Nexus 7 FHD). And now that you can run Xposed without modifying system, I can do many of the mods that custom ROMs do.
Well, that was easy.
Elemental X 0.06 has been installed.
I'll report back on battery in a little bit.
changing kernels had no effect on the battery drain. still discharging just as quickly.
