[Q]best apps for a rooted android.

well now im looking for some fun apps for rooted Androids like font changers or icons and animations for random stuff like that.

If your looking for fonts just check out the fontchanger thread in this section also get a good launcher witch ever one you chose spend the money and get the pro version they have more options also the gingerbread key board works great there is some good battery status and notification bar symbols floating around to go to show us your home screens to see what others are doing hope this helps!!! Oh almost forgot a set CPU and rom manger are a must sense you will be doing alot of back ups HAPPY FLASHING!!!!!!!

Ice Glacier is a great rom.
A couple of my favorite apps that I must always have are:
Widget locker lockscreen
Quick desk
Rom Manager
SMS pop up
Quick boot or equivalent
And if coarse my button mods

It is in the devolopment forum but here is the link. http://files.androidspin.com/downloa...5.1_signed.zip
And the reason you dont have the market with CM is you need to download and install Gapps.zip for all CM roms. They are not included.

Not really sure why everyone seems to swear by iced glacier on here (other than its been out Longest) but I personally enjoy the sense ROMs provided by evil and gorilla a lot. The look of true HTC sense is beautiful by itself, though there are a lot of ways to theme them to your own liking. Plus, you get your HTC widgets by default, as well as other awesome HTC services. Plus, if speed is your thing, both can be overclocked. Battery life is good in both.
Anyhow, that's my two cents. Everyone has theit own opinions on what ROMs are best, and that's mine.

I dont swear by Ice Glacier. It is a good rom, but the others you mentioned are very good also. It is really about what you like personally. That is the great thing about Android and a rooted phone. You can check them all out and then decide what you like. All of them can be themed and every one can be overclocked for speed. Including Ice Glacier.

very true. I was not trying to say that the roms I mentioned were the only ones featuring those things, just that they did have those features for those interested in them. and yeah, i love being on a rooted android phone, its awesome how much I can do with it that I couldnt before. btw, was that you who created the gorilla button for Gr8s Desire HD port? Great work, bro

[Q] To root or not to root

I'm not new to rooting, but since I'm on my 3rd mt4g in under a month (first one had a broken power button, second had dust under the screen, third one good soo far) I have been wondering weither I should root and flash a new rom or not, or just leave it stock if I have to warranty it again. And yes I know I can return to stock, it just seems like a hassle to keep doing it at the rate I have been going through bad ones. Thoughts?

I'm using royalginger 1.4.1 and it is great. Smooth and great battery life plus wifi calling works. Atleast I'm pretty sure it does lol. But if your someone who wants a larger group of themes and help I may go with cm7 both are gingerbread just cm7 is older and more broadly tested and themed. It all depends on what you want, gingerbread or sense. Also we (teamroyal) have a honeycomb Rom but its a pre alpha, no phone app and pretty sluggish but its great if you want to just play around for awhile.
Hope that helps

Google android maisters

Just so you know UD/ROM has stolen alot of their stuff from Cyanogen(mod). Then they turn around around change some of the coding and make it their own.
That's why you will not see them on XDA.

Ahhh ya I felt as if it was very similar it is very fast though I wanna see a wp7 port to the mytouch

Yeah but in the end they gave credit so itse all good in my........phone? But yeah they did take alot from cm with out giving credit. This ud rom seems to be alot better on the battery then cm.

My problem is how they did it. They joined CM then wanted access to the codes and what not. Then they turned around and bad mouthed them on their own board, then stated their own leaving certain Cyanogen baked cookies in the ROM.... It's the whole point of what they did. I will not use their stuff nor recommend it to anyone.

yea. i read some of the stuff that was going on with it. very shady to say the least. in the end its a nice rom. dont really care about the drama end of any of it.
would of been a REALLY nice rom if they woulda just did the work together start to finish and continued together after words.

And any posts with links to any ultimate Droid roms will be deleted.

Ultimate Droid is banned from xda. If you want the story go to cyanogenmod.com and you can read all about it.
There may be a couple other roms out there on other pages.. but the ones here definitely get the most attention and the most fixes.

Ultimate Droid Rom

This is my 2nd G2. My first G2 I rooted and used the ultimate droid rom. Now I can't find it anywhere. The website is gone and I find links in websites and they don't work. Anyone know where I can get the rom from? Thanks.

Its badass smooth u have to try it. No other rom can touch the smoothness and speed without overclocking a lot. Too bad all the themes and bootanimations don't download anymore.

Did the ud rom ever get updated? I forgot to keep tabs on it, but I remember it was, at some point, the BEST ginger rom out there.

No it didn't and in my opinion it is the best rom. Too bad they disappeared off the face of the internet all of the sudden.

Eclair launcher

Just wondering if there is a free eclair launcher? There is one in the play store but its not free. I tried pushing one from another rom but it didn't work.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

My mistake...

Really I wasn't asking for a cracked or pirated app. Just wondering if their was either a way to make a stock eclair launcher work and/or a third party launcher that will work. Please do not assume I was asking to steal anyone's work.

For the record I do not pirate so I am slightly insulted that you would come to such a conclusion.

Well your OP does sound like you're looking for the free or should I say... cracked eclair launcher...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

I was asking for an alternative, I am sorry maybe I should have specified. Take for instance I know of three gingerbread launcher in the play store 2 are free where as the other charges $2.00. I also should have made a seperate question is there a way to make a stock aosp launcher compatible with gingerbread miui? It was my fault for not wording my question properly.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

I've just closed the report. Just to clarify, I share the OP point of view, about he is asking for a free alternative rather than a cracked version.
Thanks to both users who enforced the forum rules compliance, but I think this is just a misunderstanding

Glad that got cleared up. I just looked around on Google for awhile and couldn't find any free, non-pirated eclair style launchers. Looks like you might need to shell out the $2.

Why doesn't the launcher2 from a 2.1 Rom for a different device (found in /system/app) work
--sent from my glacier.

Alright sorry OP, my mistake...
Have you tried taking out the eclair launcher from a eclair ROM (if you can even find one...) And installing it as a system app? Make sure permissions are set to rw r r
Also...out of curiosity... Why eclair lol

Maybe he picked up a phone running eclair and said, "Hey, that's a nice launcher." I've done that before. Not with eclair specifically, but the same principal applies.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Honestly just wanted to go old school lol. Paying $2 isn't a big deal its just well it's not like I plan on using it that often or for that long. I like to change my themes/launcher often. One of the reasons why I love Android over other OS's
About pushing the launcher from a previous rom and pushing it to the system/apps via root browser and adjusted the permissions and it didn't work. I didn't try to use adb..up until recently I didn't have adb on my computer until a couple if months, so I am still very new to it.

A little late now but that has the stock eclair launcher.

I still can't figure out how to push it successfully, set permissions to Rw r r then used root browser to push it to system/apps am I missing something?

I flashed darkside cm7 and it did install but with force closing everytime I hit the home button. I do kinda like the swype up motion to get to the app drawer, also like lewa(spell check) any similar launchers like that?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Also is there a way to make miui look like froyo or earlier? I know their is a CM theme, but I see nothing for miui. I am far from a pro much closer to noob lol. I just want a stock Retro theme at the moment while still using miui. If not guess its time to reflash CM
