please delete or lock this thread. it doesnt make sense anymore.

the biggest problem i had with the XXJPM was the battery drain so i switched to XWJPF which i think is a recent release but i am not so sure. i did not have any issues with the GPS but the sound lag was there when the screen is on sleep mode.
i installed the fugumod kernel and set the minimum core speed to 333 so it does not fall below that. and never had any sound issues and sound was great too. u can also set the core to performance (OC 800 kernel version and the speed stays at 800 all the time) but that will drain your battery in no time. just my experience
i tried kyrillos and its an awesome ROM, the only con was that i could not change themes. i am yet to try the INDROID but as always i dont like a lot of apps in any custom ROM so i remove them. kyrillos only had a few but looks like indroid has a whole load of em
i'd like to see someone build a rom with the
original theme (but able to install themes)
basic apps
newer market
newer map app
deodexed
a2sd
lagfree
CWM recovery
5 lockscreen mod
and all the function that comes with building a custom rom
the rest can be achieved with a custom kernel i guess
this would be awesome!!!!
p.s. the dev's at xda are doing an awesome job keeping us happy, they deserve a lot more than thank you's and i believe we are here today coz the devs here are doing something extraodinary thant the devs at samsung.
you guys are the best of the best.

hmm, interesting, a found a lot of people have trouble about clicking sound when making conversation. OC is ok, but.. why do that, processor itself will work how it must, i mean, if overclock it will drain too much battery, if underclock it will be slow. i only expirienced delay problem when receiving incoming call, it's a little bit slow, but else is ok.
today i got official upgrade for my galaxy 3. it was jp9, 2.2, not 2.2.1. i have problems now with back button when in contacts and when unlocking the phone. i have to press back or menu key few times to turn on the screen, but home key works fine. strange thing.. why they put bugged version of froyo to official update over kies..

You haven't searched hard enough. Check out Dahram's collection in dev section, I'm sure he has what you want.

Oh My GOD! it does exist. 1 week of torture flashing more than 30 times trying to find something to my liking.... ^_^ i did search but never showed up until now when i used the devs name....

As for the bugs, there are no bugs in XXJPM, it's perfect. Am using it for 2 months, tried most of the custom ROMs, but came back to XXJPM and customized it to my liking.

:O ok now thats so strange, i flashed XXJPM the first time around and configured everything background syncing hsdpa gps and so on... battery went down within 16 hours of use :O but well i shouldnt complain.. have in so much power in a 4" device and here i am complaining... stupid me.

I agree with Clarkkov..I too have been using XXJPM for about 2 months now & there are no problems..the battery life is great..I easily get 3 days usage on a full charge. The 2 small issues I saw are:
1. Camera app. sometimes crashes.
2. Back button does not work in Contacts app., you have to click Home button to close it.
Does XXJPN resolve these issues..?

i agree for back button. also when phone is locked, you can turn on the screen only with home key, or key for powering device..

I thought this was interesting...
So I turned on my phone...
Opened the Contacts app...
Pressed the back button...
...and it worked just fine.
JPM. Did you remember to do a factory reset?

The camera thing is a known issue (there is also a fixed camera.apk without that problem in the apps section). It has to do with gps/location as it tries to geotag the pictures you take.
I also can't confirm the back-buttons issue. I've been running XXJPM for a while and back button works just fine! Try a wipe (or at least clear cache) and see if that makes a difference...

Are you using Launcher Pro?
If yes kill the Contacts app ,and add again the shortcut in your launcher by long-pressing the icon.
Now when you open the app it must work normally.

Have a nice day you all ​
New kernel [LV 0.6.2] download it from here​
Thanks go to erasmux and riemer for the kernel work​

Hallo, this rom is really fast, light and very minimalistic and the best for me is that colorize widgets work with the stock launcher! In this configuration its superfast with all widgets i need.
But i have a problem with my signal. Everytime when i hold the hero in my hands, the signal drop down to zero. Its like the bug on Iphone 4g.
a second bug is when i chose the cyan theme, the signal bar switches between white and cyan all the time.
I tested it with the stock kernel of this rom and with las venturas 0.5.
Im on O2 Germany and i have the latest radio

I just remembered this thread. When I was using this rom (yesterday) the market wouldn't show certain apps, e.g. Tweet Deck, and Catch That Bus

The problems with the market is an old one... in many roms you can't use these apps because the limitations of the phone...The best solution is to google them and after that install them from the SD card...be sure to check UNKNOWN SOURCES
If you experience any other problems please tell me

The color thing is with every theme u use...i personally use the same theme because i like the color, but i don't experience the same problem with the network loss...you can have this problems because u use a 3G connection and if it runs out of signal it switches back to 2g and that not so bad for talking..but it's bad when using the internet...
If you don't use a data connection all the time to watch youtube or other things...switch to 2g and see after that
Keep me in touch if you have any other problems and i will try to help you
Stefan

Thanks for your reply!
When i switch to wifi i have the same problem that i lose the signal. So i think its not a problem of switching between 2g and 3g.
In the developing area, there was another guy who had the same problem.
Im now on Floyo1.4 the bug is gone
But i will come back to this rom because its so minimalistic as no other one and thats what i want!

Try this

i sometimes have the same problem... but the phone rings and stuff like that... i think it's sometimes from the thickness of my apartment walls... but outside i don't have any problems
test the phone: if you're in WiFi and the phone rings... If yes that means that the widget has a problem, if you can't be contacted then it means you loose signal
PS: do you keep your phone in a case (like a silicone one or things like ) to protect the phone?

My phone isnt in a case.
Im now on Floyo, but i will move back and test a little bit.
The main reason that i changed was that im searching for a new job and my phone has to work 100%. If a possible new Company want to call me and my phone doesnt work
i will give a feedback soon

Market Issues
Any update on the market force closing?? It closer after the market has been open for about 15 seconds

OMGB 1.2.2:
When I receive a call it takes forever until the screen is lit so I can see who is calling
Running Google Navigation the GPS looses lock after 10 minutes, have to restart application to get it lock again for about 10 more minutes.
Some applications are reported as not compatible with the phone, the cannot be installed from Titanium backup or from market although they should work fine. For example Noom, Handelsbanken, STHLM Traveling.

well the problem with the calling...at me it takes 0.5 second for the phone to lite up the screen and see who is calling [setcup @ 176 min and 691 max]

0.5 seconds is almost ahead of time when being used to Hero...
For me it takes at least 10 seconds before the display is lit, very annoying. I am using SetCPU 352/614.
Nom is here for instance https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wsl.noom&feature=search_result
STHLM Traveling is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.markupartist.sthlmtraveling&feature=search_result
Both shows as not compatible with HTC Hero in Android market on the web too. But worked fine in Elelinux 7.3 v3.2 GB-ROM.
Is there some way to see exactly why they are not compatible?

Ok...google maps has the same problem...you got to search them on google as STHLM.apk download ; and you install them from the SD card, that is the sollution.
Ele mad a thing and tweaked something in a script and the market works with everything...but it's not so hard to google an app and put it on your sd card
and i recommend flashing the ROM again...maybe there is a problem, i still use the 1.2 version, kind of lazy to update))), ohh and set SetCpu with 691 max and 176 min and tell me if you still have the problem with the answering
Keep me in touch of you manage to resolve the problem,

Onecosmics's ICS RC1 is out

h***s://twitter.com/#!/Onecosmic
everything works except FM RADIO,and cant charge phone when its off
give it a try and u wont regret

its little faster than teamhacksung's one but teamhacksung's one has better ram management

i cant put links here bcs of the rules of xda but if u look in the developpement section u can find both onecosmic's and teamhacksung's ICS ROMS

how much ram does it uses?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

this is a proper rom
Running it now for 2 days and i can only say good things about this rom

Imho the sgs just doesnt have enough ram for ics. not even for gb sometimes ;(

Is it really worth the switch from cm7.1?

It is excellent
Finally decided to give this a go, since I'm on leave and have the time to mess around with my phone. I am so not sorry, this ROM flies compared to the previous gingerbread rom I had. Not only that but ICS is so much nicer than GB.
As soon as wifi tethering is working properly this rom will be perfect for me.

You have to find it our for yourself, for me its a lot better, ICS is just beatiful, and the feel of the phone really improves with onecosmic's port, give it a go, you can always do a nandroid backup and go back to CM 7.1

Onecosmic's ICS RC1 - Areas for improvements
Haven't read through the entire forum but these are areas for improvements i noted:
~image editor: face glow and face tan not working (FC)
~messaging: attachment > capture video not working
~video app: silly effects not working (FC)
~contacts: can not sync facebook and yahoo contacts
~camera: number of features from gingerbread are missing (but panorama is better)
~display brightness: not properly tuned brightness steps
~applications: taptap revenge 4 = runs but homescreen is oversize and actual game display is 25% of the screen and not playable ("viewport argument value "0" for key "use-scalable" was truncated to its numeric prefix", etc.). Not sure if this is ICS config related bug or application compatability issue.
~missing usb connectivity opiton
~missing voice recorder
~missing FM applications
Please provided here the links for any existing fixes of the above. thanks

Now, 3 button press for download mode doesn't work. Any ideas?

Yup .. Same problem here.
It seems we can import contacts from sim card really, but we can't make a new one to save on sim card.
I believe its just a minor bug which will be solved in next updates.
There are more bugs, but again ... I'll wait for next update before start complaining :

Nice...cant wait to test it.

when we get RC2.nobody know when we get.

Comments about RO Acudroid V3 ICS Themed - 21/02/12 on Super Smooth Android 2.3.6 JQ9

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?
Menu is fixed as you noticed already,
If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

there is no setting menus for those 2 apps so can't change anything. The chrome2phone was working fine on my original ROM (froyo)

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

I looked for a solution and seems there is none... many users complain about the notification sound, some also mention it lasts forever (like mine...), but no 1 mention what version of Android they are using http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=239 . It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback on the issue you have, it will probably never work as it is made for froyo and not for gingerbread.
Cheers

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again. Didn't have this problem on V3... Anyone else got this problem? any solution?

Hi,
Wifi scanning is set for 180 seconds to save battery, if you like to change that you can install rootexplorer and change settings in build.prop or delete the complete line and save it.
Cheers

Change the build.prop file

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....

use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.

Conversation
Ty for this guide, I have installed this ROM and all working great, but I have one bug in conversation.
When I delete all message from one sms conversation, the sms are deleted but the conversation are still here. And I can't delete them. Any ideas ?
I tried to delete them with Handcent SMS but it's the same.

Have a question with v8.2 if I install brightness status bar will my accounts and sync delete with reboot?

Thats odd. On mine i just go to Messaging and long hold on name > Delete Conversation. Works fine for me? Never saw that bug in any Rom. What Rom where you coming from? are you running a Locked or Unlocked bootloader? What steps did u take before you noticed this bug?

I installed the status bar update well after signing in and had no problems with sync or accounts.Let me know how it works out for you.
btw I use 3 accounts on my phone and all three had no errors. Only one account with picasa sync (but i have like 30+gb of photos on there so i dont think google wants me to upload there anymore lol)

Is anybody else experiencing some quick battery drain with v8.2?

I've tried long presse and this is not working. I from stock rom rooted bootloader unlocked with flashtool 0.6.5 and doomkernel v6 1113.
So I think i should re-install the ROM for be sure. Ty for the help anyway.

I would say it does burn a little faster when using it (photo and video taking especially) but i'm using the medium clocked kernel this time around so its expected to drain a little faster, nothing unusual though. I use "Easy Battery Saver" and while my device is not in use it last 2x longer. You could also try using "No frills CPU Control" and choosing a different governor (possibly underclocking while not in use) that might help but to me I'd most likely revert to a different/stock kernel. please let me know what worked out for you.

How fast does your battery drain overnight? Mine's OCd to 128-1190. Overnight I get around 20-40% drain. I've been using watchdog (Xperia Home and Android System are the top culprits), and going through all the apps to make sure there's no unnecessary syncing but so far my effort has yielded no results. Next step would be to go back to a previous kernel. Last resort is to reflash the whole ROM again. I'll let you know how my effort goes. Kinda busy cause it's finals week for me

Yeah i'd say maybe try it again. Does anything show up at all or does the screen stutter when u long pressed?
I'm using a x10a with a locked BL. I came from a stock Gingerbread rom rooted with flashtool and installed xrecovery 0.3
did you install the v7-update-1a?

How fast does your battery drain overnight? Challenge Accepted! (I watch way to much How i met your mother) I'll find out tonight - I'll let you know tomorrow.
Im going to charge 100% keep it unplugged from 1am-9/10am (tonight i will be using easy battery saver in intelligent mode). ill post screenshots .
I was using ThGO2 before the x10s rom. I noticed my battery would drain even when plugged in overnight. It would only charge correctly when it was off. I'd wake up in the morning to see this girly cute stuffed animal charge icon. Nothing but a new kernel helped that situation. Best luck to your phone and ur finals.

When I press a long time, "deleted conv" appears when I press on it, it shows "conv deleted" but the conversation is still there.
I come directly from the stock rom to version 8.2 of X10S.
But I think I found where it came from. Apparently the bug has started after restoring the backup of my messages and contacts with MyBackup Root.

Alright. Thanks. Really appreciate it. Hopefully yours will come out better. Which kernel are you using by the way?
I actually had the same experience with thgo2. I guess it had something to do with his kernel. It was really fast though.
Thanks bud. Finals week is hell. Lol. I just switched to doom kernel right now. Will report back soon.
PS - I heard how I met your mother's humor was getting kinda bland. my brother still loves it though. I'm more of a the big bang theory and modern family guy.

BTW I had 1 missed call and 1 text message. The only things that really matter when your sleeping.

Finally Under 90%...As you can see when phone idle i have a really slow drain. I did make/receive a few phone calls and text since my last post but still did not connect online. I might do another test without using Easy Battery Saver tonight. Next time i use it heavily(wifi/3g/gaming 3hrs+) ill post my results on that as well.

thanks for reporting back bud. Was wondering what kernel are you on right now? And I was just about to ask you a favor of doing a battery check again without easy battery saver. You read my mind, lol. Thanks again buddy.
Reporting back after switching back to doom kernel v6. Battery is much better, down to 70% after 16 hours of light use. A huge improvement over the thgo kernel which would drain my batter in 13 hours with light usage.

Im using v06-1113 [medium OVERCLOCK VERSION] ( min/max: 128Mhz/1113Mhz )
I have a paid SetCPU but i dont use it on this rom. My x10 is very snappy on the start, scrolling/semi smoothly on apps/large webpages.
I did notice no matter what i can not get Onlive to stream correctly. Its always lags up which makes it unplayable. I have a hard time streaming others gameplay also. My Galaxy Mesmerize can stream all without a stutter. Its amazing playing Batman Dark Asylum with graphics comparable to xbox360/ps3. Not to mention playing Metro 2033 on my cell phone! amazing!...but not on my x10

Thank you for the great walk through. But I have an issue with the battery drain!
I'm using the same Kernel that you use! But the battery keeps on draining!
I have to admit that I'm a bit heavy user, but it doesn't make any sense to me to recharge my phone every 4 hours, does it?!!
And i have another question, in case I didn't want to install the corner bubbles but I want everything else is there any way to work around it??! I'm afraid to lose the 9 Home screens and 5x4 in case I excluded home.apk from the package.

if i do this? my files and settings in phone memory maybe gone?
please help. rooted but locked x10. i want to try the rom
try to flash the custom rom again.
