[Q] Custom ROM-s

What custom ROM would you guys recommend? That it has to be stable and fast goes without saying
Thnx in advance

I've tried Racht's ones.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914513
Currently I'm under Floyo (2.2.1) because there is app2sd working in this ROM but I think 2.3.2 CM HackDroid ROM is also a good ROM (I was using this before).
For the moment, I recommend you Floyo.
Both of them make your phone twice faster.
There still are some small bugs (as 3.5 jack or some sensors don't work) but these ROM still are in dev.
So be patient and in the future they will be better and better thanks to Racht's work =)
But be careful when you flash your device.
Be aware of the dangers and think to make a backup of your initial ROM before.

thnx, i'll give it a try. I'm aware of all the problems with custom roms. I was just wondering what the most stable rom was atm

Yes you loose all your apps and jit will be still enabled. Download floyo v0.10. First create in xrecovery backup of your current rom. Then extract floyo to sdcard /xrecovery/backup and reboot to xrecovery. in xrecovery do full wipe and then choose Backup and restore -> Restore -> floyo/ -> Yes and reboot phone

Racht's 2.2 I think is the best you can get for the X8. I was really afraid to install it, because I thought it would be buggy, but I was very surprised when I tried it. It's fast, stable and much better than 2.1.

[Q] Cyanogenmod and the market

Hi all,
I've just rooted ad installed cyanogen mod 6.1.1 on my wife's phone. So far everything works perfectly except that I cannot install anything from the market place.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be?
Thanks!

Which kernel do you use?
Try other aviable kernels- some have problems with native AppsOnSd.
For sure FrozenLake kernel wirks good (download on samdroid.net), Xmister's had problems with this. Can't say how other behave- I didn't test them.

Hi.... i Have a samsung spica i5700. updated to 2.2.2 with spicagenmod-froyo-beta2....
the problem is i cant find a correct HTC keypad version for my phone.....i tried both the latest versions of v.27.... i get a error message '' the application HTC_mod (process jonasl.ime) has stopped unexpectedly"
Pls help....

If you are still looking for the keyboard, go on to the forum post and scroll until you get past the whole changelog then it says old versions. I think it's v.3, says next to it that it supports spica.

I m using Floyo 2.2.1 rom but the native apps2sd aint working,
whenever i try to move any app it shows "FAILED TO MOVE".
DO i need to partition SD card for using apps2sd?
If yes,then how?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

was using stock 2.1 with native app2sd. just tried using miniCM beta2 2.2, app2sd auto updated the wares i have. so far no issue other than needing to reinstall some certain apps using titanium back up. using ext2 paritition.

There's no native app2sd on stock rom. It's 2.2 and up. Ref: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2.html#api
You was using a hack that linked /data/app to an ext partition on your sdcard.

Have a look at the V2 version of the Nexus For X8.

so cool
have you any suggestions to install a file manager or etc to access SD in GingerSense?

I've tried it, but it isnt much better then the first one, su reboots have place to be, nothing special.

Hi Disastery
Just saw your you tube video for 2.3.3 gingerbread sense. Is there any internet connectivity / data through mobile network yet??

Please include MiniCM6 1.0.0 by ponanovn. thanks

In your video* Floyo 0.20 how u moved ur app to sd? And how u install angrybirds? I use Floyo 0.20 too but cant move to sd and install angrybirds -.-"

You can try wiping cache and if this doesnt work try downloading the .apk file ( google it) install the apk and then uninstall the app and then it should work

Hi, can you tell me wich version of Doodle Jump you got, and also can you pm a link where you got it ? Thanks.

Do review Srom-2.2.1FloyoX8-V2 by zousoum96&stelios97 or ill call you cheating.

I post only the most interesting roms, srom rom is a copy of minicm, so I don't think that it's neccessary to do it.

I guess it would be better if UI was in english, and it ain't really a review, rather showcase. Would be better if you actualy talked about the rom rather then just sliding through menu and opening apps.
But I like the overall idea. Thanks for taking time a showing us custom roms

It would be better, I know. But I'm Russian, so there are a lot of people from many countries, who watch me, so it would be more convinient to show the roms and do some annotations...

link to 2.3.3 sense??....
i verry like....
grettings....

language question
Is it true that all 2.2 ROMs have got english language? I mean what languages have got 2.2 ROMs? English is OK, but I want my language in it. Is it possible?
(the other thing is a rumor that states all 2.3-s contains my language too, not just english. How is it possible?)
Thanks in advance.

I like 2.3.3 GingerBread Sense by racht ROM which look the best as I am a sense lover

I have ext4 and swap partition on my SD card. Changelog for 1.1 says ext2 support for cache, so do I need ext2 partition, if yes what size. Moreover please confirm Email clint on 1.1 b'coz didnt find any in 1.0. Also please check that the times tends to reset (to GMT) in 1.0 on restart if automatic updating from serbvice provider is unchecked.
