Can someone work on a simple basic Android ROM that is not resource hungry, something like the Openfire Rom, with JIT enabled, but, the only problem with that ROM is the camera quality! So can anyone work around that problem?
Just looking for a Senseless Froyo Rom in its most basic form, but with a decent camera!
HewgBalls` Hybrid ROM, CM7
Hybrid is what iam running right now! And i really was dissapointed by CM7, i was on RC1 for a day, wasnt at all satisfied! iam looking for a more simpler ROM, i dont know if what iam saying makes sense! Something like the Vanilla Android, but with a proper functioning camera! In other words, Openfire with Camera!
Just get some 3rd party Camera app in that case. As you probably have seen yourself, development on Openfire is now frozen / on hold
will that 3rd party camera app help in imroving the quality of the camera?

no it won't.
what was wrong with cm7? Maybe you had problems because of the default v4.2 overclock kernel. Most ppl flashed v4.1 and their problems were solved.
The minute i flashed CM7 i flashed the 4.1 Kernel!
Well first of all, the CRT animation stopped working, and there was no 3D effect in the app menu, basicly the two most prominent features of gingerbread, so yea, i decided to resort back to 2.2, and tried Openfire, ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT!! But then tried the camera, and then decided to resort to the Hybrid Rom, which i beleive is amazing as well!

The 3D effect isn't there because CM uses ADW instead of the stock android launcher. If you want the 3d thing get ADW ex, its great.
The CRT animation works for me if i enable and run a2sd cachesd reset.

Can you tell me how to replace ADW with ADW ex? or atleast resort back to the stock launcher?
oh and how to do that a2sd cachesd reset thing?
really need help!
Alright so can anyone help me with the CRT animation problrm on CM7?
It is said that wiping the dalvik cache restores it. This can be found in the Recovery Menu under the Advanced Tab. Not tested personally by me though, since, I can live without it.
BTW, I was under the impression you wanted a simple, fast, non resource hungry ROM, so why is the animation so important to you?
hahaha! Camera was an essential for me, and CM7 seemed pretty unstable with ADW, so i tried it with ADW EX, and its workinf like a charm! No issues so far! And ill try clearing the cache, but ive done it before and it didnt work! :/
Which rom is similar to Openfire?
I've just notice the camera problem..
CM7 is too much raw, and slow for me.. the keyboard it's to small compared to that of Openfire (do you know what is?)

It is designed like that, however, the later versions have the "bigger" keyboard. For an alternative to Openfire, you can look at CM6, but, video recording doesn't work on that.
So cant anyone work on a Vanilla android for the wildfire, with the camera?

i've already used CM6 and 7..
now i'm on the hybrid one and seems good
I've tried the HTC Hybrid V6 but i didn't find the way to disable 3G connections (perhaps its my problem...)
Now I'm testing Leaf r3, very simple, with 162MB free after the flash, so I can download only the application I really use.
The only "problem" found with the Leaf r3 is that i should insert the Apn parameters manually...

I am using the stock 2.2 rom for my G2. I have it rooted. I am wondering if someone has made the Notification Menu power control available at the following URL for the G2 Stock 2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9885714
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
There are probably some, but I've never looked into adding them to stock as CM6.1 and CM7 both have them integrated by default.
One thing I remember from trying to add these back when I had my Evo, is that it required a Deodexed rom to get to work properly (just from my experience). Trying to add these to the stock rooted rom on my Evo caused me nothing but headaches, and always seemed to interfere with other theme-ing. I just figured if I have to flash a deodexed stock rom, might as well just flash CM6 haha. Maybe someone can chime in that has successfully done this on the G2 though.
I looked for ways to add it to the stock 2.2 and in the end just went with a Cyanogen mod as it seemed like an easier option in the long run.
Is there a reason you want stock vs CM?

its my first android phone. Still learning all this stuff. Played with CM a little and a friends MyTouch 3g and it seemed really slow (maybe it was cause of the phone). Does it run better on this phone
Lightning fast at stocks peeds on my phone. ADW is a bit sluggish but easily replaced with ADW EX or Launcher Pro.

Most of the slowdown can usually be attributed to user error, or ADW. In my experiences, ADW is much slower in scrolling etc. than ADW Ex, Launcher Pro, and especially the stock launcher.
I'd say give it a try and see how you like it. If you don't, you can always flash back to your backup of your stock ROM. I just think when it comes down to getting notification bar widget controls, flashing a new ROM is actually easier than trying to get them on the stock ROM unfortunately.
Thanks for the info guys!
Ill try it out and make sure i replace adw. What do you guys suggest? CM 6.x or CM 7.x

CM7 is stable. Just make sure to do a full data/cache/dalvik cache wipe before you flash. You also need to flash the Google Apps when you install it so be sure to check that box in ROM manager when u install.
If you're looking to take baby-steps, I'd try CM6 first.
Results may vary, but I'm getting 40+ hours of battery using CM6 as opposed to 20+ on CM7. Same moderate usage.
Once a week I flash a nightly and give it two days before I restore to CM6 to get my GPS and battery life back. They'll have it stable soon enough. Just have to keep supporting our amazing devs.

Just checking. Fed up with CM7 and its weird behaviours of unresponsive and hidden menu's so gonna change rom.
Just to double check, it's ok to wipe a gingerbred based rom then reinstall a froyo one isn't it?
I have a feeling I'm getting mixed up with hboots where its dodgy to downgrade.
Can someone clear this up?
I flashed jokerdroid 4.2 froyo after cm7 and no probs here!
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Cool. Was just making sure you could go from 2.3 back to 2.2 again.
How do you find Jokerdroid compared to CM7?
Pretty good. Its a sense rom but loads quicker than stock. It seems as quick or maybe quicker than cm7 to me. Check out the comments here.

All current gingerbread roms for wildfire lag (some a lot).... opossite to froyo roms like jokersdroid and wildpuzzle (most popular) wich are faster and more stable, for now.
Yeah I thought that might be the case.
Reinstalled my back up sense last night and realised that I really love sense!
Do the HTC widgets work with Jokerdroid or Wildpuzzle?

Im running Cm7.1 which is 2.3.4 gingerbread and it isn't laggy at all,
no idea why you think that. Ive no experience with overclocked Froyo roms,
but Cm7.1 is definetly not laggy.
Yepp sense widgets work in Jokerdroid...
For me, I like some sense features which are not there in CM7. An important one is CM7 not having a smart dialer. Yes I know there are some third party apps out there like dialer one, go dialer etc. But they are not as good as HTC dialer.
Jokerdroid is great so far. Fast, more stable compared to CM7.
After alpharevx S-OFF, installing a sense rom, you won't have HTC wallpapers and setup wizard but there is a solution for that in the forums. Check full index thread in Android development forum. Everything is explained there.
I don't really care about HTC wallpapers, I always use custom pictures anyway.
What's the advantages of having setup wizard, doesn't sound like I'd need it.
You dont really need either one of them... It is just for the sake of completeness and some like the wallpapers. Also htc scenes is missing too. But as I said, not vital.
Set up wizard is not a must either. But then you have to manually set sync of gmail etc. Not a big deal.
Ive tried CM7 and Jokers too, Jokers was better for me because of sense, after that I flashed back the stock rom, with hcdr kernel. So I can overclock the cpu, and its much faster. Im waiting for the stable 2.3 sense rom.
Well, Jokerdroid is installing just now. Thought it was boot looping but its moved on now to an animated HTC screen so I assume all is going well.
I'll get setcpu on it once it finished and try it out.
EDIT: All is great bar one small problem (there's always one). The weather widget can't find my city! But it can easily in the stock, it's the same widget surely?
Guys,
I need your suggestion for my Bravo. I needed a simple Gingerbread ROM. None of those fancy MUIU or Blur stuff. I have tried:
1)CM5 v7
2) rDannar's MUIU adaptation called GingerBlur
3) MIUI 1.9.2 (my current ROM).
The only one that came close to simplicity for CM5 v7. But the Wifi Icon and Signal Icons were messed up. Plus the accelerometer did not work. So I had to move away.
rdannar's MUIU was nice, but it was MUIU and had some chinese stuff and keyboard in it.
Is there any other simple ROM?
I think I bumbed into an extremely good ROM.
Just plain CM7 gingerbread, or as rdannar calls it CM7 DIET V2 gb 2.3.4
There was some issue with wifi. But his wifisignal fix solved it.
None of the MUIU or Motoblur nonsense. Except, there is this go theme, which I hate. I dont know how I can remove it.
Its smooth as butter
Accelerometer works, no issues with any of the backlight stuff. There is no vanilla camera app at all.
CAMERA does NOT work, even with third party app 'Action Snap'.
Anyone has any clue how to remove the go theme and get back to regular gingerbread launcher or something simpler. Also any idea about the Camera?
I'm using miui with launcher pro as the launcher, and it gets rid off the odd (IMO) miui home screen.
I think ginger blur is the only ROM that keeps the stock launcher...
Note: i'm using BravoMotorola's Miui port...
whoops - edited his name
http://download882.mediafire.com/f9zhxz4ab1qg/xg038h071w035ax/MIUI.us_MB520_1.8.19_Eng.zip
This is my ROM of choice right now. It seems to be an official MIUI port for the Bravo from the MIUI.us team. It is very very good, everything is working and everything is translated to english just fine. Also is pre overclocked to 1ghz (scores just over 2000 on quadrant standard). Runs butter smooth. Just download launcher pro, zeam, or adw launcher from the market if you dont like the absence of an app drawer.

Thank you. As much as I hate MUIU, if push comes to shove and if I really really really really need camera, then I might have to move to it. I am just hoping that some good samaritan works out his magic on the CM7 and makes everything work. The CM7 V2 Diet is extraordinarily simple and amazingly fast.

Sadly no camera!!
Well firstly, i have more knowledge in Sense roms, so i firstly dont know what MIUI even means, but ive seen quite a lot and heard their battery life make sense roms look quite terible.
Anyways, i was looking for a very stable, fast, fully functioning, nice battery life and feel, MIUI rom.. anyone have some suggestions? Getting bored or sense.
Miui 1.12.9 has been pretty stable for me. The only issues i have is the front camera not working (i believe that's the case with all aosp roms) and text messages over 160 characters won't split and send, so u have to break them down manually. Besides that Miui is, in my opinion, the best rom I've tried.

You need to get caught up.
MIUI 2.3.2 is the most stable. There is a 2.3.9, but I haven't tried it yet, nor seen much about it, but 2.3.2 (actual version is 2.3.2_b1 es) is very very stable. No issues at all. None.
You have to do the sense GPS fix (or one of the GPS fixes) before you flash it and if you read my guide, in my signature, you'll get a good walk through on how to flash it, DT A2SD, the kernel (Tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.1.0), etc.

What he said. I'm running basically the exact same setup, and it runs flawlessly. There's a lot of theming capabilities, plus it's easy to create your own themes, so it looks great too.
I tried MIUI because I was bored with regular AOSP. I thought about trying Sense but it wasn't my thing so I tried out MIUI. I've ran it almost exclusively for a year now. Swiper's build is great, get the ES version and you get the extended settings mod built in.
Hey Jane, you should try DianXin out. I've been running it for a week now.

I've been wanting to try it, how do you like it? Any noticeable issues?
The ONLY issue is that the only text app that really works is the native, but it's having probs with pics. If you have Go SMS, et al, even turning notifications off in the native, they still come in on the native and on Go SMS... twice, so I just froze Go SMS until I need to d/l a pic. Other than that, it's smooth. Comes with some great native apps and the best battery utility I ever saw. Options everywhere!
been running 2.3.9 for over 24hrs no video camera but i will rock it for a while..

So I recently downgraded to CM7 just because I wanted something more stable than the ICS/JB ROMs I'd been using. First thing I noticed is the horrible image quality throughout the system; stuff like gradients and the overscroll effect look like bad JPEGs.
The only thing I could think of was to enable 16-bit transparency in the CM settings and edit the build.prop to force GPU rendering, but neither of those did anything.
Anyone know what I could do to fix this or do I just need a better ROM?
Thanks in advance.

Understand that the CM roms are run through with a fine tooth comb before they are released ass a stable mod.
Try a diffrent launcher and see if that is still the case .

I definitely understand that. I was running CM10.1 for a while and it was the most stable (albeit unofficial) JB rom I'd had on here so far, so that's why I decided to switch to an official release - and everything's great, aside from the poor quality on gradients.

When i use to run cm7 on thee mytouch 3g there was a surface dithering option maybe that can help tho i did not see the diffrence.Do you have the inferrrior mt4g screen?
try one of thier nightly builds and if that is no diffrent then that is just how cm7 looks.

I've tried with and without surface dithering, still didn't make a difference. I remember looking when I first got this phone and it turned out that I got the good screen, plus I've flashed like 20 different ROMs and the graphics are always great. I actually just downloaded the latest nightly, so I'll give that a try.
Welp, flashing the latest nightly didn't help. I guess I'll just switch to a better ROM -_-
You might have luck by changing dpi.
