[Q] Best Android Version For Calls, Gaming and Surfing

First of all, I'm sorry if there is a thread similar to this, or with the same purpose. I'm opening this thread because I've tried almost every mod for LG GT540 and I don't know what to use anymore...
Been a long Cyanogen mod user, I've now changed to Super Fast Froyo and I find it really as it says SUPER FAST.
What I'm asking you is, if you can tell me what is the best mod for playing games the phone wasn't designed for (any 3D game), surfing (without force closes), and using the phone as a PHONE (calls, messages - without force closes)
I've tried OpenSwift (don't know what version) about 3 months ago.. and I was able to play games, but in that time the mod wasn't stable...
Also, Cyanogen 7 (2.3.3) and I wasn't able to play games.. though the phone worked smooth, with some force closes and few restarts..
I've searched lots of forums, but everywhere there are persons saying this is better than that and vise versa..
That's normal yea.. but got tired of that, and decided to open a thread here..
About the games not playing.. well I maybe am a beginner.. but I've tried everything I could..
Any help appreciated ..
Thanks.

Stay on a custom 2.1 rom it will solve all ur problems..
Use swap for speed.
Link sd for unlimited storage space.
Nothing is as stable as 2.1 version.

I agree with sanmit that everything works in 2.1 and for games is good. So you should stay in one of the many good custom versions out there. And check the other posts until devs cook something worth it to change again. Now mur4ik has released version 2.0. So will see how it goes and inform

Thanks for replying!
I've decided to go with Elegance Swift 2.1, but I have a problem now... I can't flash it with Clockwork Recovery... it says "installation aborted"
I have wiped user data, phone, cache.. everything but it just doesn't work.. Is there a way to do this with fastboot? That's lots easier.. but I see a file called "data.img" here and don't know how to write that on phone
Thanks.

buya new phone?
just sayin, i dont think the gt540 is the best one for gaming. as its not capacitive screen. so you cant play mario or something smooth. but yeah as said above the stock 2.1 is the best. as i hav the SwiftDroid milestone1 V2.0 android 2.3.3 the battery dies too quick to play many games.

I don't want new phone lol
by the way... I found out how to install via Recovery.. but now my phone won't boot.. it's stuck on LG LOGO...
I can't post in developers threads.. and I can only ask here..

hi mate you need to flash both the recovery image and the boot image that should get your phone working again

Well.. I flashed clockwork recovery (if that's what you meen) and using CR i used the option restore to actually install the Elegance Swift 2.1 mod
do i have to flash the boot image after i did this with fastboot or?
EDIT
Did use fastboot for boot.img, still the same problem...

if you flashed via recovery then the boot.img should have been included in the backup so in what i will do is download the rom your tring to use and make a fresh backup and upload it for you
link me to the thread you downloaded the rom from

Wow.. thanks..
h* t p : // www . multiupload.com/WP41EZA5BO
this is what I used (with Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 - i know that there is newer)

ok give me half an hour and ill get you a working version of this

uploading now for you i have included the easy flash tool

download this and put your phone in fastboot mode then run the start me.bat in the zip folder hopefully that should work

Thanks for the effort .. but I'm getting FAILED (data transfer failure (Too many links))
when trying to send system.img to phone
EDIT
I'm using XP SP3, does that changes anything? :\
EDIT 2
Can you just tell me how to do this with Clockwork?

to do it via recovery copy the zip file you and me downloaded to to the root of your sd card then go into recovery and select install update zip then select choose update zip and then select the zip file you copied to the root of the sd card

It worked, finally!
Thanks a lot for you time and help

no problem anytime

I think that CM7 is a lot better than 2.1 in many terms. (battery is worse, but it still lasts 2 days)

Use the stock 2.1 thats the best for your wishs...
Its the most useful...

i try everything but always back to stock or soft mod 2.1

[Q] VilliamROM v 13.00 for Hero telus?

My hero is from telus and is now rooted . Can I get VilliamROM v13.00 for this phone? and can anyone direct me to a GUIDE on how to install....

if you installed clockwork mode on your phone, it's easy to install a custom rom.
To get VR 13 you have to download the rom first and copy it to your SD card root. After that you have to reboot your phone into recovery mode, by pressing for a few seconds Home + Power button when the phone is OFF.
After entering the recovery mode, i recommend you do the next steps that are very easy?
1. Backup you existing ROM (the is a section that is called Backup and Restore)
2. Wipe phone data
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Go to advanced -> and wipe dalvik
5. Press back to get back to the main menu and chose to install zip from SD card and after that Chose the ZIP and select the VR 13 ZIP and install it.
6.After installation i recommend that you flash Flykernel 13. You install it just like the rom. You chose the zip and install it. After flashing the kernel you reboot your phone and wait 10 minutes
7. When the phone is ready it enters setup mode and you know what to do from there
8. Ejnoy the new rom
If you have any other problems leave a message.
Stefan

thanks for the info.... when you say save to the SD card root, what exactly do you mean... sorry it will be the first time I try and flash a ROM... and will this work on my Telus phone as I am in Canada not the UK and lastly when I back up my existing ROM the Back up and Restore is this in my ROM manager on on the phone menu, Mike

Sorry missed the other questions
1)Yes it should work in Canada
2)The backup is saved to your SD-card in the clockworkmod-folder, it will then display in rom manager (if it's installed).
You can also get to the backup through the recovery. (The same place were you installed the rom) by holding home+power on startup
Cheers

many thanks, will give it a try, Mike

When I hold the home and power and it comes on I just get a red Triangle, I have Titanium back up and did a full back-up and used ROM manager as well, any suggestions, thanks,
my phone is fully rooted

You need to install a recovery.
Tap "Flash ClockworkMod recovery" in rom manager. When it's done follow stefpaul's instructions

You install it just like the rom. You chose the zip and install it.

cant get into recovery

i have a gen 1 blade. i bought it used and it has Jap Jelly.
i want to install the cm7 7.0.2 which i believe is the latest stable and there is a method i want to follow which apparently is an image that when i go into recovery it just installs, easy as that.
unfortunately i cant get into recovery. tried vol+ and power, vol+, menu and power and also vol- and power. none work and simply restart phone.
i have read that using rom manager which i have installed automatically installs a recovery meant to be for gen 2 and that is why it doesnt work.
would anyone be able to shead light on this please?
thanks guys, marc

Go to your battery options and turn off quick start. Try again and it should work.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

cheers mate but i cant see that option anywhere

If you want to install CM7, don't bother with 7.0.2. Its really really old, and the new versions are much better and much more stable. You'd be much better to use the TPT from here and then flash the latest nightly using Clockwork. The TPT method will install a Gen 2 recovery as well, so you don't need to worry about doing that.

cheers mate.
first i uninstalled rom manager and reinstalled and then it allowed the older recovery managers to be selected. i selected and older one and i could then get into recovery.
coincidentally i had found that 7.1 method and i have just completed it, the phone is just installing my apps etc from the sync with google etc.
thanks again.

seems your phone not rooted yet, dude. try to root it first. I always use SuperUser it to perform this.

the easy way to get the latest cm7 running on your unrooted blade is to do this method i find it very noob friendly.
Root the ZTE Blade using super on click (simple google search will find the program you need) once the phone is rooted you can update your phone from GEN1 to GEN2 automatically and it will also install cm7 nightly 257 automatically
Links
Super One click: here
Gen1 to Gen2 TPT Upgrade: here (make sure you download CM Nightly 257 Version (Upgrades from Gen1 to Gen2 & installs latest CyanogenMod nightly build - all in one))
once the phone is rooted and the downloaded file is placed on the root of the sd card all you have to do is power off your phone and power on with menu & vol+ held
hope this helps you mate

There are many ways to get out of this situation. Get all the tools (adb, ROM zip files, etc.). Read posts in the thread. Ask for help there.
Good luck.

Put your transformer in APX mode by hold the power button & volume up.. If it turns back on do it again, make sure you have you sync cable plugged in and drivers installed. Now that your in APX download this stock rom then root it with viper (option 1 in viper)

Yes there's a fix in there towards the bottom of the first post.
If you want to flash another recovery, turn your device on into recovery, connect it to your computer and use adb to push the file to your internal storage.
It should be something like "adb push filename.zip /data/media" then you can use the borked recovery you're on to flash the one you pushed.

His problem is with it getting stuck in recovery, which is a known issue with Koush's 5.5.0.4, simple fix with adb. No need to reflash the whole rom.

3. Now rename this recovery image to recovery-trzmod3.img and replace that with the image file of same name in S7 trzmod-V3.zip
4. Now unzip it in computer and now you are ready for flashing recovery by running update.cmd.
5. Next visit this page http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...yanogenmod-9-s7-slim-alpha-21.html#post237650 and download the boot images cm9 boot image from http://www.share-byte.net/yJkZ6X and cm10 from http://www.share-byte.net/cQhhFq
6. Then go on to http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...al/45329-rom-cyanogenmod-9-s7-slim-alpha.html and download the latest roms in zip files from the link http://www.asturel.hu/cm9_s7/
7. Now rename the cm9 boot image to just boot.img and replace that with the boot image in cm9rom. Repeat this with the cm10.
8. Also download the latest respective google apps from the links in http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
9. Now copy the roms and gapps zips to your internal sd card
10. Turn on usb debugging and connect ideos to pc. Run the update.cmd in the trzmod v3 folder.
11. First install the adb huawei drivers
12. Then install the recovery ie. The altered ere ics recovery we have replaced initially
13. Reboot to recovery and exit the cmd
14. Disconnect from the pc and do factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache in advanced
15. select install zip from sd card and then choose zip from sd card. Choose cm9 or cm10 as you wish
16. you have it.
Whatever happens to your tab is your business. Read this threads in detail about ups and downs of each rom and check on latest boot image kernels.
