[Q] How to calibrate the Touch Screen on custom rom

Got this phone from a friend and according to the software version it's running Gingerbread, on boot it's telling me it's Swift Droid, Cyanogen mod 7..
I'm very new to all this so I have no clue what this means but the touch screen is off calibration and I can't find the option to recalibrate it..

Tattoo stock rom

is there a way to make working bluetooth on the 1.6 stock ROM?
or a 2.1/2.2/ italian rom with the HTC SENSE?

Forget stock ROM might as well go for CM7 2.3.4 where everything works !

Look for the ROM thread that has the most number of pages, or look in the Q&A sections.
By the way this question should be posted in the Q&A section, and you should read the forum posting rules.

I agree with this. But personally, I'd go with asgard. It's been the most stable and battery friendly in my opinion.

Second that! Oh and yeah bad place to put this. Actually this question get's asked a lot, yet there is no definitive answer it seems?... I believe it is all about personal preference. MIUI seems to have a great balance of everything I could want in a phone and super user friendly customization. I searched a month for a rom... Tried most 2.3.x and while they all offer something and are greatly appreciated... I just so happen to like MIUI the best. Goodluck!

Cm7 is what many people go for, but if you google the things you can do in MIUI, then you will see it offers the most features. The non stock version that nickminn updates every friday seems to be better than any other 2.3.5 rom I have seen otherwise.. but they all have bugs, reduced battery life versus 2.2.x, and barely or non working gps.
The bugs I still had when I stopped using it a few weeks ago: media button on headphones doesn't work, if listening to music when you get a call and you answer, the music will continue to play, you have to restart it after charging(at least after long charges) or it will not go into deep sleep, and occasional sd card issues(my music player would too often not be able to find the music).. the plus side is all of the features: the notification bar being customizable and shortcuts to each toggle, the ability to theme EACH part of the UI individually, the built in backup/restore, the battery tracking, the device data usage app, the multi touch drag/drop and tons more.
Also I was getting 16-20 hours under heavy/moderate use which is the best I have seen on any ginger rom including cm7.. on ANY 2.3.5 rom you need to use cpu spy to make sure it goes into deep sleep to have good battery.
Hope this helps.. there is a large trade off using any gingerbread rom until we get the source code-- I went back to 2.2.1 because EVERYTHING works, and I simply can't kill it in 24 hours unless I TRY.. I get 24-48 hours per charge. I miss the features of MIUI, but not enough for the costs-- most of the differences between 2.2 and 2.3 is mostly cosmetic in the end.

I think he means 2.2 roms that look like GB. In that case, try Bionix 1.3.1. It should be easy to find.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

why would you want a 2.2 rom that looks like 2.3 when you can have 2.3?
that's like body kitting a car to look like a ferrari when you can just get a ferrari... sure the ferrari may get worse gas mileage, but it's still definitely worth it.

Root. Install rom manager. Install vibrant recovery via rom manager. Download bionix 1.3.1. Reboot into recovery. Clear cache and and dalvik cache. Install zip from sd card. First boot takes a bit and your phone starys talking saying its enabling vodoo lagfix. And then you are done

I use CM 7.1.0.1 on my vibrant. its the latest stable build. You have to install vibrant mtd recovery via rom manager. You can also download cm or other ginger roms from there... gapps too
However if you do go to ginger you have to odin back to stock if you wanna return to froyo

cm7, miui, and there are plenty of others. cm7 is as easy as odin to jfd, root, install rom manager, flash cm7 and the gapps. miui should be the same. for any of the samsung i9k based roms you want/have to flash new bootloaders (at least that was the case last time i used one).

if you installed clockwork recovery and you are getting the stock recovery, you need to hit 'reinstall packages' (sometimes twice).

In that cas zendroid with his gb theme that is in the thread I actually prefer his vanilla aosp theme which is also in his thread. Way more up to date then bionix. Best 2.2 imho don't look back.

Changing build.prop to download app

Hi,
I'm trying to download a game, but I installed ICS (latest kang) and obviously it's thinking I'm running 4.0.1 and the game won't run on this. Is there a way to edit build.prop or any other file so I can buy the game before the rebate ends.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: All I'm trying to know is if it's possible to change a file to make the Market app think I'm running something like 2.3.4 so I can buy the app??

Yup exactly and I know it's not my phone since my GF has the same, but hers is running stock android.

Only time I have issues with incompatible apps is when I mess with density and set to 210
Default is 240

Do a backup in CWM and install a GB rom, buy the app and restore your ICS rom in CWM. The long but sure way to get there..

but make sure u backup the app with titanium before you restore ics. Because still you won't be able to download from market.

Oh well, I thought about that, but I hope there would have been a faster way.
Still thanks everyone

Have you tried to browse to market.android.com on your PC and buy it there? Yesterday I couldn't buy an app on my phone, for me it worked that way.

you're lucky....at least your phone has a reason to think it's not compatible....I'm running stock 2.3.4 and I get that error message for at least 75% of the apps in the market....including gmail, etc. It's obnoxious!!!
Seriously, this isn't even a dump from online or anything...this is my original ROM backup restored via CWM that is doing it.

It thinks you're running 4.0.1? If you are running ICS euroskank kang you ARE running 4.0.1....
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

But really, don't use ICS as daily driver, it's way too buggy and slow. Very soon we will have the ICS OTA and then things will be different.. I hope..

if aroma doesnt respond to touchscreen,just use volume keys to navigate and home to select,(as if you were in xrecovery).

so, i tried it a long time, it seemed to work, but for sure not on stock rom, cause stock kernel doesnt seem to support init. scripts (i wouldnt swear on that)
it should work on stock based roms with another kernel (doom, fera)
