Hey guys, I have posted this in another forum but didnt get much luck.. wanted to try it here before I gave up and hung myself.
Very briefly: I have just flashed my fourth rom, this time I went for MIUI. Fantastic, really good speed, very aesthetically pleasing, etc.
Anyway, I have tried to run some GBA emulators and they havent worked. They flash the black screen for about 5 seconds, and the game plays in the background but it minimises the program; it says it is still running in the notification area but when I try to access it it just minimizes again.
Is this a common problem on MIUI? Has anyone else had a similar issue? Im sure its MIUI related as I have had the program running on several different ROMS..
Please dont make me choose between this awesome rom and being able to play Mother 3!!
Thanks guys;
Vincent.
Edit:
Turns out it is a gingerbread incompatibility. Can be fixed by installing a compatible emulator *facepalm*
What I'd like to see a dev do is take the android source and one of the kernels (ScaryKernel stable preferably) and develop a ROM from the ground up.
Call waiting does not work properly in CM7 or another AOSP based ROM I tried.
GPS has problems fixing in that ROM as well. I believe Sense based ROM users don't have this problem.
What would be really cool is having a nice 2.3.5 ROM with ScaryStable kernel, Android 2.3.5, some, not all of the tweaks from CM7, apps included that are actually useful such as antutu benchmark, kernel manager, rom manager, super user, terminal emulator, speedtest.net, wifi analyzer, gps status, fasterfix stuff like that, HTC GPS drivers, and being able to update profile, and prl and being able to get to the ##code# menus from the dialer (basically need the HTC dialer for this I'm guessing which would also fix call waiting). That would be like the ultimate ROM in my opinion.
Thoughts? And yes, I'm actually thinking about taking this on as my own project if I have to even though I can't program to save my life.
What's a matter with call waiting on ASOP? I've never noticed anything messed up or anything different.....I have predominatly have had cm7 but also ran shiftdeck for awhile and call waiting has worked fine I believe....
I have read others having problems getting gps to get a fix but have never experienced the problem myself.....I know the solution has been to flash sense get a lock n then flash asop and from what I read gps is fixed after that....

Tap manage calls in CM7, tell me what happens.
As for GPS, I found a combination of resetting the GPS and downloading GPS assistance data with GPS status, and using faster fix and setting the proper ntp server while having wireless assistance on helps for a while. I'm still investigating exactly what needs to be done for GPS to to work properly.
I can honestly say I have never had a single problem with GPS on any cyanogen build but i never shut my GPS off I don't even know why It's on maybe for the weather so maybe that info could help someone maybe get a lock right before flashing and leaving GPS on might work but AOSP is fast has no bloat and is very customizable but I am a Sense guy so:
I think a Rom I would be 100% happy with as an all time Rom for right now it would have to be a Sense 3.0 Rom because I absolutely love it, with the HDR and panorama effects added to the camera, overclocked to 1.2 Ghz with a very light theme maybe like Rosie, status bar with no clock and notification area to be semi-trans black with white font a themed HTC_IME and dialer and a custom Glock LockRing that's all

The real question is how does your GPS work with wireless assistance turned off?
And Sense 3.0 is beautiful (mainly talking about the weather themed lock screen with the shortcuts) but I hate the way Sense 2 and 3 manage contacts and it's way too facebook integrated in general which is annoying.

I wouldn't know I don't use my GPS often and I leave it on the default settings and never have a problem even if I'm not on WiFi every time I have needed it, It's been solid and it don't kill my battery at all I get great battery life

I have to disagree. I love sense bc it has Facebook integration. I like how I set my contacts to their respective profile on my touch pro 2 with wm 6.5 synced with Google and never had to worry about it again. It puts a pic to your contacts and gives u a bday entry which is nice imo.
Now my gps sucks, I have to wait 5-10 mins to get a lock outside or in the car. And sense 2.3 doesn't have kernel source so its limited to the stock kernel.
My dream Rom is MikG, with x99 kernel. I used to love that kernel on 2.2
Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug
My dream Rom would be MikG With x99 or V8 kernel, AND Firerats due to that sucker helps save a lot of space.
My "dream" ROM on the Shift would have to be full blown Sense 3.0 with it running perfectly smooth WITHOUT overclocking. I would want the kernel for sbc and UV. And I would want google + integration added along with FB and twitter.
(Guess thats why its called a dream ROM )

Yeah full Sense 3 with no oc running that great is prolly extremely hard to do, I'm on a constant uphill battle with what I got going you know

To start out, it would look a LOT like CM7. Same launcher, same extras. NO Sense UI.
(for the record, I know that most of this is available, it just means installing a number of extra packages)
Add in all the google
T9 predictive input for the dialer
A nicer looking messaging app that doesn't fail every time you try to send a text longer than 1 message.
A few of the nice sound options from Sense UI, including having the ringer volume automatically reduce when the phone is picked up, automatically switching to speakerphone when you set the phone face-down during a call, and double-tapping the home key to see all your launcher pages at once.

A lot of the google apps are bloatware, please be more specific.

I never have this problem. Do you have the messaging app locked in memory?

1. Gmail, Voice, Talk, Maps, Latitude (yes, I know it's bad for battery AND privacy, but it's fun and I don't plan on committing crimes, cheating on my wife, lieing to my boss or ever being worth enough money to kidnap; so I don't care if people know where I am.), Navigation, and of course, Market.
2. I haven't made any changes to the built in messaging app of any kind, but I'm also running the latest nightly. Doesn't matter too much, since I've installed GoSMSpro.
3. Yes, I'm well aware that many of those features kill the battery. That's why I like CM7, and only want a small handful of the highly useful features from Sense.
well no matter which rom i try, i always end up installing launcher 7, so to have that already integrated would be nice for the drawer, and a rom that lets you use the volume bottoms to skip tracks in your music player ,

I know with both cm7 and cyclonic you can skip tracks with the volume rocker. Also with the mod you can on MIUI.

i tried MIUI and liked it but theres no 4g support, so i jumped ship..
i'll try cyanogen again
I want a thermal camera and nightvision on my dream rom lol
my dream rom would be CM7 with Sense Lock Screen 3.0. I know there's agile lockscreen, and to be honest it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also rather fond of the calender widget on sense as well. but i can live with out. just the calender widget on CM7 sucks. just shows upcoming events i wanna see the whole calender.

Hi All,
I had a Kindle Fre with CM7.
I have downloaded the jackpotClavin file posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20671158&postcount=334)
I have started twrp and after a backup of my CM7 i have installed JackpotClavin's file. After that I have done a wipe...
Then rebooted.
Wow. ICS is working. WIFi is OK! sdcard seems to me ok.
And all the app installed under cm7 works in ICS.
Just a FC in two hours of hard use...
Luca
Nice Il try it out now sounds good
I wonder if the SD card working has something to do with u not wiping data?

There could be some files left over from the CM7....
I think so.
sent with kindle fire with ICS
Here are some Pics
so I factory wiped and flashed the pre-alpha, pushed su, pushed Tribuchet launcher, went through market and installed ScreenshotUX. I couldn't find any tribuchet settings that would fix the landscape mode, and as of now landscape only works in the unlock screen, web browser, settings screen, and certain apps like calender. As you can see, the youtube app looks very pretty. Video playback was buggy with no sound, expected Going to try flashing Xperiaplayer's update to see if I missed anything while resetting permissions to the vold - ICS won't read app data from sdcard, I can see it only through my computer when mounted. Enjoy the pics, soooo prettyyyyyy...
Installed the latest build from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20841384&postcount=218
I wanted to report this to that thread but as a "Junior member" I can't so I'll just post it here and hopefully someone will re-report it there.
Just noticed something weird: Though sound is buggy when playing music, I tried installing the Xiia Live application and tried streaming sound.
It's been streaming for 6 hours straight without any sound artifacts, without stopping and generally without any issues. So there's definitely something going on there with the driver... worth another look.
Has anyone tried using Pandora with this ROM. If so, how much does the sound skip out if at all or if it even works at all lol.
This is looking pretty nice...may have to root my KF now!
So I'm getting my Defy back from Motorola RMA... and miss it's wifi-calling feature. Since it seems like there's not going to be a lot of luck on cm7 getting wifi-calling fixed, I'm trying to figure out which "custom" rom is the highest-performance, deblurred rom that's based on the stock ROMs so wifi-calling works? I noticed that there's a rom from jboogie3, but I can't seem to tell if wifi-calling works on it or not.
Someone was supposedly working on a vanilla ROM based on the tmobile froyo release, but I would assume that it's already on the back-burner since everyone is focused on gingerbread? I'm running cm7.1 on my nexus one during the repair, but I don't really find that much extra stuff going on in gingerbread that froyo didn't do.
Any recommendations?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037277
Wifi calling is a must for me and this rom works nicely, it has blur but its not required, you can always use root uninstaller to uninstall all apps including the system ones. Adlxmod rocks for tmobile us users.
I'll check it out. Have you used this and compared against the jboogie ROM? I tried to go through the FAQ to find the list of apps to rename to remove all traces of blur... Do you have a list yourself?
I am currently using it, no issues at all. You can see my screenshots in the link i posted. I haven't used the one from jboggie. I dont have the list of apps i like the feature the feature that links your contact photos with facebook so im keeping blur for now, its not required to login to start the phone and as long you dont have the widgets you wont even tell its there
I have a question
how come on ICS roms, may it be AOKP, CM9 or AOSP, the messaging app is somewhat lagging? the keyboard freezes sometimes especially whenever I try to input a contact.
I have almost 7200 messages on my inbox but, cm 7.2 never freezes for me
that's my only real beef with out ICS roms because it useable like camera, video cam etc but messaging becomes a problem.
I tried other SMS app like "metro messaging beta" and it works fine
any solution to this?
I didn't have any of the issues you described. Through I don't have so much messages.
yes it has for me,, anyway tried GO SMS pro with ICS and WP7 theme and it's fast as hell
have so many options to configure as well
