I came from a hero running cyanogen6 I flashed many roms and nightlies while using the hero. If I remember correctly when I would factory reset to install a fresh Rom my Google account would automatically re-download the apps I had previously downloaded.
It was my understanding this was a standard feature of 2.2. But my shift does not do this.
So my question is "what is up?"
was this just a feature of cm6?
Is my phone the only one that doesn't do this?
Somebody set me straight on this issue, as it makes switching roms much more work.

Htc took it out. It's a feature of aosp 2.2 and above.

Well that was an easy answer.
So if I use an asop Rom it should auto download?

Yeah but probably not to what you were on your past aosp rom, but maybe what you got now.

Depends on the gapps ver.
On my heroc I kept two sets of gapps, one full and one tiny. They restored entirely different sets of apps everyime I flashed (for some reason, I just picked one randomly every day for about 3 1/2 months, loved aospMod.)

All I know is this worked when I came from the semi stock rom that I was using as my daily driver.

The only Shift ROM I've experianced this on is Evervolv. I believe CM7 should do this too but it's either not implemented for the Shift yet or not working.

Okay so I have been seeing many threads and questions about MIUI or CM7 and which one is better?!
Or go to:

Here I have two videos to CM7 or MIUI and maybe this will enlighten you to choose wisely.
another CM7 tease. I've been holding off on flashing this.

try them both, their both wonderful. i stuck with MIUI for over a month.
I tried both of them and I think they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Right now I went back to 2.2 because NOVA dont work on 2.3. If any of you can play NOVA on cm7 or miui please let me know. MIUI has the lockscreen and pop up messages. As Cm7 has optimization tweaks and Stock aosp feel. I really want to go back but still trying to decide if I should wait.

Hey Alan, I noticed on your CM7 review the voodoo control app has Voodoo Color options. Do you know if this only appears in gingerbread builds maybe?
I have tried to find color options in the Voodoo Control app in 2.2 roms, but all there is, is Voodoo Sound options.
Thanks!
i got bricked, hay what a sad day.
i like MIUI.. i've never tried CM7 and dont know if i will.
i had miui for almost a week until earlier this morning when was playing music using the music widget, it would skip songs or not even finish a whole song then on to the next song.. weird, i didnt like that, it's probably because i was browsing through pictures at the same time on miui gallery ( buggy,makes my phone FC, sluggish) that made the songs skip?. so i went back to 2.2
i like the rom. it's very nice! very customizable and easy on the eyes.. ill get back to it when it becomes stable even if gps is still broken...
Damn! How many apps do you have on your phone Alanrocks? That's nuts! I just counted mine, I have 16 downloaded. But I dont play games on my phone and Im OCD about having too much stuff and any bloat so I keep my apps to a minimum.

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.
Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

Lol to be honest that hasn't happened to me once yet
Just to let people know, here's some other 4.0+ bugs I noticed
Headphones plugged in and your phone playing music will make your phone overheat. Synthetic.Nightmare has a ics Rom where that problem wasn't there, it also wasn't there for sense roms.
CPU won't stay where you want it. Basically I've been shuffling through a lot of roms, and whatever I set the CPU to, it doesnt stay there, it usually goes to 768 max and 192 min. Or it goes full out and sets itself to 245max and min. This has been in all roms over 4.0 that I've used. Sadly even the sense ones.
But in the end, you gotta give some credits to the devs, our phone would have still been running cm7 if it wasn't for them.
And if anyone is reading this, do you know any ics+ roms that have beats audio ported from other devices and can set their CPU to a specific value? Mostly just the CPU thing though

Run an aosp/cm/aokp for now and the lag will be gone. Or you can run a rebloated touvhwiz ROM. Or run a custom kernel and overclock. Or just get a different phone if it bugs you that much.

My suggestion is to upgrade to MDL (if you haven't already) and flash a custom TW kernel. This makes a world of difference over stock for smoothness and battery life is still great (depending on the kernel settings used). Other thing you can try is lowering the animation scale in developer options.

In About Phone tap your build number 7 times to unlock dev options. Then hit the back button tap dev options and scroll down, if you don't want any animations just turn the three off.

Very much agreed. i personally have minimal lag....there obviously should be none. Hopefully when the next update finally drops the lag will be taken care of.
I had the same issue but once I rooted, removed bloat, disabled some apps and installed a custom kernel all the lag is gone. I'm running No Frills CPU to control the CPU and I have it set at Max 1998GHz, Min 378MHz, Governor= Performance, I/O scheduler= deadline. Not having any issues with battery either. Works Great!
Also I noticed that S Voice was never mentioned. You have to uninstall it or make it so the home button doesn't activate it.
I'm running ktoonz 7/2 kernel with all his settings. Wow it gets rid of all the lag. Plus the phone don't run so hot like it does stock. Nice and cool and fast. I get 24-30+ hours before battery swap. I was also very pissed that out of the box this phone is kind of ****ty. Thanks to our great devs its fixed
