[Q] Difference between official 2.2 and CM6

hey guys,
just wondering what all the hype is going on at the moment?
regarding the official 2.2 release i mean.
"CM6 final" has been out i think since september (i think) and that's froyo 2.2, so what's the deal or difference to the official 2.2? why is everyone freaking out and posting roms if CM6 has been available for quite some time now and CM roms offer way more functions, etc?
i don't get it, please someone lemme know why the official release should be any better?!
thx,
v.

Because Cyanogen, although talented, is still a hacker making a hack. Official ROMs can take advantage of the hardware better than any hack any day.

@ first two posters: wow, very informative, thank you.
@ last poster: thx. ok that makes sense. still doubt it though that a stock rom can compete with an overclocked kernel running at 650+mhz, rooted, brutmaps for international navigation,... just to name very few functions that unofficial roms feature.
i'll definetely try an official version as soon as there is a reliable version. to see if it has any advantage. we'll see.

I've tried a few different roms, including CM5 and CM6, and nothing is as fast or as stable as my oem 1.6, rooted w/universal androot and overclocked to 528mhz.
If you're gonna compare, don't compare a modded version of the official rom, use the actual official rom.

alright, I need some help now:
there are a couple different releases in the development section and I don't understand which one is the actual official one. so far there are 4 versions (here are the thread starters):
bladyle
amazinglarry311
dasunsrule32
crios
would someone be kind enough to give a quick explanation (not in detail) what the differences are and what rom is the closest-to-official?
are they all just work arounds to make the OTA release work on all htc magics and the cookers are trying different approaches? one is changing something with the spl, one is using a CM6 rom, one is taking files from different roms and using adb commands to set everything up,...
I'd appreciate some help!
thx,

thank you.
once again, you are very entertaining...
before asking questions i'm the first one to use the search function, believe me.
did you try yourself to see if you could get an answer to my last question?
if you come up with what i asked for then i'll shut up, otherwise you can of course continue to post intelligent answers like your last two.
greetz,

Wow! Two posts that are very useful and not just a total waste of space. What a helpful forum member!

hey bro... just my opinion... latest cm nightly 219 is just as quick as the official ota... i was comparing it side by side... i still choose rooted or official any day, because of the extra goodies it offers...
hit me up if u have ne other ?

seems like gingersense is leading

All this effort is made to make a full working CM7 ROM and now u ppl want GingerSense???
Idiots....

I think that Racht should finish what he started... he has made a really great work!!! But there´s only one thing that is missing from the CM7, that is the camera... I will be on CM7... Racht was great on that ROM and it´s stable, battery friendly... great
Racht´s please finish the CM7, then if you like evolve the gingersense!!!
Cheers from Portugal

maybe with gingersense we will get camera quicker

Cm7 of course!

Finish what you started first
Sent from my Arc-X8 using Tapatalk

I would be glad to see a fully working CM7 first! Gingersense can be developed after..

racht is giving us the option not many devs do that
i think he porting the gingersense rom would give us a fully functional rom and working apps including camera after some tweaking
so i think there will be faster progress as the rom already is perfect
but just needs to be tweaked for x8

If that is the case, great! I think he should say why is he trying to use other ROM... Is CM7 in the limit? And GingerSense has the solution for the camera? Racht what´s the reason behind this change in development?
Cheers

GingerSense!! FTW

May be someone could help me with the Camera, he seem to have problems of getting the camera to work, back to .15 Froyo! Still hoping for a fully working ROM

I agree with this, but if you find the solution starting w/ otther ROM..Let's Go Rach!
Sorry my english!

GingerSense VS CM7 ???
I DON'T CARE!!!!
As long as we will have fully working gingerbread for x8.
And after that, we can customize/theming in anyway we like

I really don't see any diference between CM6 and CM7. But GingerSense looks amazing. And I have fully fuctional MiniCM so I vote for GingerSense.

i hope that racht will develop GingerSense, because it is really better than cm7 (sense ui is perfect + i don't like cyanogenmod, it is like vanilla android)
go racht go !!!!

I dont mind which one,just hope getting a near perfect gingerbread rom is enough

not a fans of eyecandy rom.. performance is what I need most.
I can theme with so many widget or mod to make myown style.. not just use what million people likes.
CM already mod alot google rom to optimize the performance, I think stock sence rom is a step behind.
but.. if racht can and have enough time to finish both.. I guess with two option of rom will satisfied all rom-addict here.
but now I choose cm.

No new Firmware roms in a while i miss the flashing

Hey everyone! its been a while since we have had a new rom. I am bored ^^ i have a flash addiction. when will we see some new roms again any rumours ?
Ive been checking in every day. but still no new one for weeks

At some point Samsung will decrease the pace of development of the firmware for the original i9000, since there are a lot of new devices in the Galaxy family and they will eventually be more concerned about fixing the latest models than giving support to an old model.
Maybe 2.3.4 will be the last Android version for this device, and though I think we will see some more firmwares with bug fixes, in the short term I believe the firmware development for this device will stall

yea.. I think sammy did great job though.
as long as they fix little bugs on jvq.
I would be happy with it without further upgrade to Ice cream.

try GalaxianEE kernel flash.. will keep u busy everyday.. n believe me.. u cant find flashing excitement elsewhere .. the best kernel improvement

I don't like to use any custom ROM and like to stick with stock ROM but use custom kernel, such as Galaxian and Speedmod.
I have to admit that both of this kernel are great and very satisfying for me.
Lately hardcore not update its kernel while luqiqq keep updating its galaxian kernel.
So give it a try

Move to CM7, new ROM every day...

Flash the new (darky 10.2 golden )
its the newest
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I don't understand why there aren't more truly custom roms like CM7 being developed rather than just themers like darkyy. Is it because its too difficult?

try the CM7 / MIUI roms....there are so many options to screw around with...you will never get tired.

[Project][HTC SENSE ZERO PORTING]Help requried!!

Hi dear Wildfire developers,
Most of you know about the new HTC Sense 3.5 and the light edition called Sense Zero its based for low-end devices like our wildfire.
This new Sense was ported successfully to HTC Hero and HTC Magic. its taken from the new HTC Explorer (Pico) RUU.

Thread for the rom in Hero section
Thread in magic section
MY IDEA: We will try to port the Zero sense to the wildfire.
What about merging the new sense zero to SFM 1.1 instead of Sense 2.1?? will it work?
Will the best thing is to discover by ourselves.
The problem in my opinion is the lack of GPU at wildfire. but will it affect the porting?
and if it worked still needs the resizing to fit to Wildfire display.
all opinions will be appreciated.
I have started this thread here in devs section to gather efforts to make this possible if we can.
Waiting for your replies.
for my self am on 3 days off from work, i will give some tries.
**************
Here is the RUU for HTC explorer (Pico) to play with if you want to try:
download
Instructions:
- dsixda kitchen will need to be installed prior to starting.
1. Run RUU and leave open
2. Type %TEMP% in your computers start menu search bar.
3. Search through the folders in there with the long names with numbers and letters, you'll find a zip file named "rom.zip" in there.
4. Place the rom.zip in the original_update folder located in the "kitchen" directory
5. From there follow the steps on the kitchen menu to setup the rom.
6. Then proceed to porting .

Looks interesting to say the least. Maybe I will have a look once I finish SenseOnFire?

Good luck with Sense on fire Vigidroid
and waiting for your help with this rom.
I will give some tries this weekend and tell you about the results.

It's ported to the Eris also Ur more than welcome to try that also

Maybe. I will try it.

I'll do what I can to help and test. The only problem so far is the wildfire being GPU-less. I think that sense zero is quite a lightweight rom, considering the latest HTC sense zero device has only got 90MB rom available to the user.

looks gr8.. even I can help if required..

if someone port this rom to wildfire i will maby help with resize

[Q] [REQ] Sony Small Apps for our awesome Nexus 4

Hi all, I don't really mean to start a new thread but I think this stuff is possible for our device.
I read an article in the XDA home page and it says that the SmallApps have been ported to CM9, CM10 and PA 2.55 for certain Xperia devices with an addition of an app called SLauncher. But some reported that it also works on CM9 on a Samsung galaxy S2.
Here's the article:-
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...anoid-android-2-55-receive-xperia-small-apps/
Since there are plenty of awesome developers for our devices, I think this kind of stuff is possible. I'm just saying with my noob-minded logic as I don't have any ideas in porting and modding. I'm really looking forward to using this kind of apps

I like the calc

Hello,
I'm the dev of the SLauncher and I have make the port for CM10, CM9...
I want to do a port for the Nexus but I need a tester and some files:
From a deodex rom (a deodex rom haven't got .odex file in the folder system/app):
-/system/framework/Framework-res.apk
-/System/framework/Framework.apk
-/system/framework/Android.policy.jar
If you can give me these files and help me to test the mod I can do a port
