Hello xda-ers!
I have been stalking around, tasting everybody's cooking for a couple of weeks now, and i have got to get something off my chest.
I did search, I do realize that what I am looking for can not be made and that its no one's fault (I might be giving htc a meaningful look right now).
I like a whole lot of roms and chefs here, I really do, but the rom I'm after seems to not exist - one of two options:
1. A hero rom with all the eyecandy, that's donut based for compatibility with newer apps like goggles and the like.
2. An Eclair rom that has video and youtube working.
And so I would like to ask of you wizzies, is there light at the end of the tunnel? Are things comming around? How do you see it?
Correct me if I'm wrong, hardware-ish the mytouch is 36 MB of ram shorter then a hero and a has a lesser camera, but its not like the hero is running its os on its last bits of ram or anything so basically what the hero can do the mytouch can do, no? Is it safe to assume that when the hero\magic gets an update (and I do hope that it does) someone could pull over some driver support for eclair or something?
Thank you all so much for all your hard work, you guys are the reason I love smartphones so much, I'm dirt poor but i promise I'll buy you guys a round of beer once I get out of college
Its a matter of time bro. Be batient. A month ago, none of the eclair roms had camera. Now they all do. A month before that none of the eclair roms had N1 voice keyboard. Now they all do. God knows what some of these amazing roms will have and do a month from now. [/good deed for the year]
Love the FAQ sig lol

1. The devs aren't the ones making the actual hero, they just make hero work with our phones. They can't just say "I want you to be donut", and it be donut. Htc decided to skip donut, and the devs can't do much about that. They can however give you 2.0 hero which is scattered about the forum.
2. Drivers, drivers, drivers. You know, the thing that appears in almost every first post for this problem

As I've said, I realize that.
My point is that apperently you can't cook rosie\sense\whatever onto a 1.6 rom without htc (Ref: "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look") and at the same time you can cook it onto a 2.0 rom - which means broken video drivers.
I'm sure there's a good reason for it, and this is not a rant, just needed to let steam out I guess.

"if" you had searched you could have found answers to both of your questions... and maybe posted in the correct section.
maybe that "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look" should be turned into "i actually searched and posted in the Q&A section or the I didn't read before posting..."
No offence but seriously if you would have searched you would have found those 2 answers in almost every thread that had to do with hero or eclair...

I think someone leaked an HTC branded Eclair ROM with the "rosie/sense/whatever," and that's why you see it cooked into a 2.0 ROM.

It went off topic at the same rate the iPad went from wanted to ridiculed. What's so bad about that?
Well back on topic/kinda...
Do we know for sure that htc will release the necessary drivers for video playback/camera? It sounds like some people are positive we'll get them eventually...I switched back to donut because I like being able to watch youtube, but its amazing how far along eclair roms have come, and mad props to NCommander for reverse engineering the camera drivers. Without him we'd still have no camera at this point. But I was just wondering if its confirmed or not that we will indeed get those drivers from htc one day.
Well, T-Mobile is teasing us with an Eclair update for our phones. We shall see.
What I would REALLY like is a ROM that is smooth and as responsive and the one on the iPhone. Doesn't need fancy apps, just the basic things like Messaging, Phone, Browser, camera/camcorder, apps of course. Anyone else think the same? It's what I have been looking for , for a long time

Afternoon all,
Finally jumped shipped from an iphone to an Android phone and am happy with my galaxy s but need some advise please.
Still trying to get to grips with this new OS and was hoping if you kind people can point me in the right direction as to what settings/what apps I should use to get the best out of my phone
Is there some sort of newbie guide out there that advises the things us new galaxy owners should install/configure to get the best of this amazing phone?
Cheers all

That's what he asks for. jm8 (the mooded version is just fine)+voodoo is the best you can currently get by so far. stock rom bugs are aweful. Especially lag. Horrible.
you do know the "lag fixes" are the cause of people posting problems with their Internal SD messed up and corrupted?
also people posting about semi-bricked phone unbootable past the boot screen logo?
^^ you're right!

Please do keep in mind that such things to most end users who don't want to get their hands dirty or potentially lose their warranty, are trivial. Not everyone wants to experiment with what's not official. Further more, stating that something is the "best" is pretty baseless. Most users will trust the vendor first. To them, that would be the best! Not to mention that better things keep coming along the way anyway, so it's just best to wait IMHO....

I really respect the efforts of developers to port all roms to our x8, but see sony is a Japanese company they know what x8 can hold and what it can't , so they stopped updating it after 2.1.a...
I've tried 2 roms myself
1. GingerDX 0.8 and 0.9
2. FroyoBread 0.20
and after 1 day switched back to stock rom using xrecovery, the reason was performance was like I was playing Assassin's creed brother hood on fx5500 overclocked..
i'm not *****ing about something, i'm just sharing my opinion, you may not agree with me but in my experience stock rom is so far best for x8.
maybe in future gingerDX will get better, but right now it's very slow in performance it's like when You installed few applications , it starts to lag... common, what is phone for? to call someone in emergency, what if you're touching the Dialer Icon on your screen 5 times and it opens after 10 Seconds and when you touch the dial button it takes more 5-6 seconds to dial..
sorry if I hurt someone..
Erhm, mine is doing alright, with GingerDX.
Then again, i havent tried a single game on this phone.
I'm also no offense, Stock ROM is on 2.1, Custom's are on 2.2/2.3. Which means we have more useful features, for e.g: App2SD. Also, our devs makes our CPU runs smoother, you can see it on benchmark, it's over 3000 without OC!
If you think just some lag on dialer which makes you feel Custom ROM is not good as Stock ROM, just use Stock ROM.
yah i'm using stock rom now and sticking to it for a long time now, the only featured I liked in custom rom was text to speech in sms, is it possible in stock ? can't find it anywhere...

And yes you are *****ing, saying that the devs work is worthless because it makes the phone slow..

Well, I really do respect your opinion, but see, I know there are several ROM`s here and there, some of them functional, while others are kinda beta stage, there is no offense in saying what you think as long as you say it with respect, which is just what you did, but guess what?, I am using miniCM 7 2.0.5a in a daily basis, for some weeks now, and I don`t have any kind of trouble at all, everything works fine for me, of course stock ROM may be the most stable, but also is very limited in some areas, ie: there are some apps which need 2.2 and up to run, I have USB tethering and WIFI hotspot functionality, automatic market updates, enhanced copy-paste and a (not so) few extras.
All in all, what really matters is to enjoy your phone, we do with our rooted ones, we really enjoy playing, searching, experimenting, discovering, we are free just as linux is.

you're just moaning, I never said anything bad about developers, so just use custom and let me use stock...
I didn't join this forum to spam, but to share opinions, as everyone does...
a noob huh, pretty much offensive language, okay it's no use talking here I guess..
if you had a company like SONY you would be doing the same, why don't u buy Xperia Ray which is even water proof, if you love features ? don't have money ? then buy Nokia 3310
No offense, but as I see you don't need Android phone then. It's more than just a phone, and beacuse of this, it is slower in some aspects than a normal simple mobile. Keep in mind that all OS on phones are slower than any non-OS phone (like old SEs, W300, K810...etc).

I have tried every rom on this Dev site and in my opinion they're a million times better than the Sony Erricson rom. i respect your opinion but come on, the stock rom crashed all the time on my X8, added a contact had to restart, switching to custom roms was my best decision with this gone, i'm using GingerDX.v008 and had no trouble with any of the GingerDX roms

SE want us to buy neo/play/arc these high-level's phone. But they makes us not to buy their phone anymore by not upgrading X8.
If Sony thought like that, wouldnt it be better for them to upgrade gingerbread, so what we think great se supports any phone and since x8 is so good, then other se phone must be better so they would maintain a loyal customer base

I respect your opinion, i just don't accept it.. You didn't say directly that their work is worthless but in your opinion why should people use or prefer a ROM that just makes the phone slower and laggy? Why should people prefer that, right?
That's about the same thing as saying that it's not worthy to use a custom ROM.

Hello all. Since my Galaxy 3 had a little accident (it span in the washing machine for about 5 minutes) I'm going to say you guys farewell. I already snapped a SGS for a good price (180€), so I'll be moving to It's community. I'd like to thank you all for giving your support and remaining strong in the SG3 community. I thank every developer there has ever been sharing his time with us by creating their own ROMs or fixes, but my special thanks go to:
- The Dark Lestat for his awesome kitchen ROM
- dharamg3 for making awesome, simple, optimized stock ROMs
- Kyrillos for also making an awesome custom ROM and giving superb support
- Our kernel developers. Mainly fugumod\CM7 porter\developer marcellusbe. And other's whose name I can't remember now
- FadeFX, gsam101, etc.
- Haree for his awesome moderating.
- Jazux for.. eh.. well being a Finn, mostly.
- Apollo for his stuff and especially for the now old but awesome sdcard partitioning thingy. It was probably the first customized thing I used.
And last but not least, I thank Samsung for making this awesome budget phone, although you weren't the greatest in terms of supporting.
A kernel developer is like a movie writer - the director (ROM maker) gets most of the credit.
Once again, thank you all for keeping this community alive, and keep the android and SG3 flag high. I will try to visit these forums at times to check out how you're doing. Also I'll try to give out some donations for certain guys, mostly whose ROM's I've used. Don't expect big sums, though.
May we meet again
Enjoy your SGS mate.

Hey guys, as we all now there is a multiwindow feature on the s3/note2.

Well el_venga I will await the rom you are building. Dont dis peoples free dev work on a dev site. If you want something then learn to do it. This isnt what this site is about. Whining about something gets you nowhere. This site is a place for you to learn how to do stuff yourself. It seems more and more people are coming here to "pimp" their phone.

I think this feature is kinda complicated to port, since you need to mess up a lot of things in framework (I mean, I don't think it's possible in an easy way like porting to stock without messing up a lot of things).
For example, I like the lockscreen from S3, but lockscreen is something terrible to do inside the framework in this case (yes, I've already tried to port, even for galaxy nexus).
There are 2 Dual Screen apps in Google Play that work well.
Can you tell me the name?

im not whining. its a fact. i gave my opinion about the rom cause i tested it and it has bugs. other users in the same section said it also and we are just waiting. i mentioned the waste of time cause of depositefiles, not the rom. i have 2mbps connection at work and it was WAY lower than 256kbps. i test a lot of roms for my devices and i never whine about it. dont judge me for a misunderstanding. i apoligize if i offended you in anyway.
btw i am a programmer, not of this kind of software, but i am, and i know what it takes to do what devs do. have a nice day.
I apologize as well. Lately on my phomes forum there a lot of new people requesting the hell out of stuff and complainimg about everything. I program too at work.
