Can we just flash this and do nothing else or does this require a whipe or something? Also sorry for the noob question but why do we need to update the market?

thanks for the heads up.

From what I can tell, the icons are all new. Although maps is older version and will get updated via Market and icon will be replaced back to normal. Other than that, not much difference.

It has the Google search app and the updated Voice Search.

Would love to know why there is a Twitter client in the gapps package.

does anyone know where i can get GAPPS for CM6?....i just rooted about 30 mins ago and im totally lost and every link is broken......i really need some help LOL....i know that sounded desprate

we have moved on to cm7, can still get the cm6 gapps at http://goo-inside.me/

ok cool....but im having a problem....i downloaded CM7 onto my PC and dropped it into my SDcard....went to the bootloader and selected RECOVERY....but its not taking me to the Clockwork MOD....its just giving me the option to REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, AND HBOOT USB..........did i do something wrong?....this is the first time im flashing a ROM over another
P.S. Do i have to delete Cm6 thats in my SDcard, then drop CM7 into the SDcard.....then try to go into recovery?....im not really sure

Super APP Updater + Theme + Root + Baseband + APPS v1.03 [Updated + Download Link]

Hi guys, you've probably wondering what is this SuperAppUpdater imposting here,
Well, if your anything like me, you are probably testing new roms as they come out, just for the fun of it, but then, some of you might have the need of installing apps manually in your system/app partition.
Personally, I like the newly released European roms better than the custom ones, thats just my taste.
To clarify, this only works on Official European Roms 2.2.1, I've tested on the German rom, the UK rom, and the one from Spain, I've tested it on LATAM roms but for some reason it doesn't work, it applies everything but you wont get any signal, don't know if it works on Telus.
So, you might find those roms aren't rooted, and they also come without a theme, no titanium backup, no rootexplorer, no theme, they are as vanilla as they can get, so, I've made myself an app updater to copy all the apps I commonly use all the time after trying a new rom or even after formating my rom.
What does this do?
This will install the followin stuffs in your system partition:
ADW Launcher
Titanium BackUp (Free Version, not donate)
ES File Explorer (Instead of Root Explorer, but it still supports root, so if you know a better FREE alternative, let me know)
Stock Battery Manager (Got it from Argentina's Personal stock Rom, it will work on any stock motorola Rom)
Chrome to Phone
Contacts (GB Theme)
Phone (GB Theme)
Latest Facebook
Latest Gmail
Black Gtalk
Latest Google Quick Search Box
Latest Maps (My Tracks, StreetView +World Navigation)
Latest Twitter
Latest Market
Latest Voice Search
GB Theme + Framework (Extra options for power button) - Got them from some updater silesh made
It roots your phone
Market Access
850 / 1900 Baseband ( If you dont use this baseband, re apply your baseband after finish)
This is one of my first efforts, If you can help me make it better, by all means, give me your suggestions!
My Twitter: @soy_filipo
SuperAppUpdater v1.03
Download Link:
http://www.multiupload.com/VPZT2DE4IW

Good aport!

Only one suggestion. Remove root explorer as it is a paid app.
Also for maps, you should include the modded version which allows navigation all over the world, not just US. Check the xda portal for the link to that thread.

So, I've removed the download link cause my previous post included paid apps, I'm uploading a new version with free apps only, hope you like it.

Also just to point out that the reboot mod will not work on all roms. It works only with official 2.2.1 .

Yeah man I knew that, I did this only for the official roms, not the custom ones, It might work on customs but I have not tried on those roms.
If someone does try them on customs, let me know it and I'll post in which one of those works.

Nah, just did it in the description, I think it works with some customs too, just haven't tried it, I'll do it if someone reports it doesn't work in customs.

ES File Explore is great, but it's root feature doesn't work on stock roms does it?
Pretty sure Super Manager is more universal in this regard and still free - plus it has a crap load of cool stuffings included. (scrren capture, wave in front of the sensor to turn the screen on, etc...)

Thanks man! I'll test it and if it works as awesome as you say, I'll post it in my next update!
BTW, does anyone knows where can I download the Latest FREE version of Launcher Pro?
I think its better than ADW Launcher, if you guys know any other FREE launcher better than the previous I've mention let me know!

After all thr struggle I went through....I fiinally got my sgs running smooth.

Hey Guys!
After all thr struggle I went through....I fiinally got my sgs running smooth. Well this goes for all 2.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 stock Roms.
1. All i did was use voodoo lagfix.
2. Install superuser from market.
3. Install root uninstaller
4. Uninstall all samsung apps eg. buddy, feed updates, dual clock, diary etc...task manager. All of them except samsung apps (u may choose to if u dont use it).
5. Now reset ur handset and enjoy ur super fast sgs.
I dont think sgs need any task manager or killer. If needed u may kill tasks from running apps in the settings. I dont think there are any issues with touchwiz or sgs as such.....but these apps are really crap. download apps from market. They all work awesome.
My sgs is currently on the 2.3.3 JVK Rom.

You could of saved a lot of effort and just cooked a Rom in the kitchen.
I've come from darkys rom to a custom cooked one from the kitchen and my phone is faster and more stable than ever.

A deodexed and zipaligned rom would have given you even better performance..

De-odexing if anything will slow the phone down, but zipaligning can lower some memory consumption, so technically your phone may give better performance because of zipaligning (due to more mem being free).
/probably not noticeable though...

I've flashed honeycomb and, stock, this rom is faster than darky's
How I did it:
I'm using GT-I9000M so I need the 850, so prior to this, I've flashed theses modems, in order: JL2, JS8, JPD
Hard reset when still in Darkys
Disabled lagfix and all the optimisations
flashed JVK
Hard Reset again
And everything is darn smooth and stable, battery holds 3 days easy. Honestly, best rom as of now!

[Q] Plain & Pure Gingerbread for Galaxy S

Hi All,
I tried to find a topic for this but couldnt. if you have seen this thing being discussed before, please just guide me there.
Ok, here's the thing:
I have a samsung Galaxy S I9000. I want to flash a Pure, Unmodified, untouched, plain gingerbread onto it. i dont want any of the samsung applications, modifications or anything by samsung. the same concept that a Motorola Xoom is using. no additional modification to whatever google gave out.
1. It it possible?
2. If so, which ROM will do the trick?
Many thanks in Advance

Closest what you can get is CM7 I guess? (am using it too) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061946
Or there was something about SUPERAOSP rom >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119075&highlight=SUPERAOSP which I dont know

Yep, CM7 is closest to stock-Android, so you should choose this ROM.

Thanks, ill try CM7.
basically i want the simplest ROM with the minimum preloaded functions. i will install whatever i want myself.

Why don't you install a stock gb of any kind, get titanium from market, then manually uninstall whatever you don't like, ect Sams bloat wares
EDB v1 Talon 0.2.2 oc1.2ghz BAT ThunderBolt

I guess because it wont be AOSP (kinda not even close)? Also cuz samsung does not just install bloatware(amongst other stuffs), but also unistalls/disables some functionality?
Just me guessing there

Touchwiz is 'hidden' deeper in system too. And the CM7-crew wants to get rid of this and just use stock-Android and CM7-features. In ny opininon it's the best ROM of all.

Installing a non-stock OS such as this means you must install apps for operating the Camera, Video, Email, and even for accessing the external SD card, correct?

Villain Rom 3.0

Ive install Villain Rom 3.0 with the new android 2.3.5 its working great. For some reason it did not have root so i flashed via odin speedmod kernel KI-T40. and with that i got root and its working great so far.
im just waiting know for the tweaks and a good blue theme for it.
I hope this helps .
If i help you just hit the thank meter!

Wrong Section its not a question .

Is it that different to stock 2.3.5 though? I'm running 2.3.5, tried VR3.0 and can't see any differences at all. The guys at VR don't seem able to say what benefits it has over stock, other than some VR tweaks that aren't of use to me.

Urm one major difference stock is odexed, VR is deodexed. Allows themes and mods which for most is a big plus.

I have been using Villian 3 for several months and I love it!
Only issues that I know:
Device Encryption does not work and blocks the phone (you have to come back to original stock rom to be usable, the phone cannot boot)
Touchdown app does not sync calendar (but email works so I'm fine with it)
But battery life is awesome compared to stock one, is very fast and I you like TW like I do is great cause you will get TW experience with better battery and faster

Yes, device encryption is unfortunate...
I'd not turn it down if it worked... I decided to wait until ICS, and then see if the inbuilt stuff there works. If not, I'll have to figure it out.
But at the end of the day, I wouldn't release the rom like that, for one reason. Encryption is only good if you are using a secure rom. While VR is in many respects more secure than most ROMs due to using non public platform keys, it still permits root access.
Since exchange encryption is usually enforced by your IT admin, I don't think people should be using this ROM for work purposes to connect in, given it is rooted...
With root, you can just dump the data off the running system
