Hi there.
I have decided to use an older CM7 ROM purely for stability and speed reasons, but I really like the YouTube, Gmail, and Browser that comes with the newer ICS and JB ROMS.
Is there a way to install the newer apps on the older ROM?
Thanks
I think that no.
CM10 is built on JellyBean (Android v 4.1.2) and CM7 with GingerBeard (Android 2.3.6) so the versions of apps are very different, you can't get JellyBean's version of an app on a GingerBeard rom.

Good afternoon
I already have on my zte blade Cyanogenmod 7.1 android 2.3.7 rom and I am thinking of changing it to 2.3 gingerbread. Should I do it ? Is there any diference ?
CM7 is gingerbread. If you just mean should you change to another gingerbread rom, then look at the different threads for each and see if they have anything you want. If you don't see any advantages to changing, then stick with CM7.
Cm 7.1 is 2.3.7 which is gingerbread.
I think 7.1 is the best ROM for blade .
I agree. Thee CM 7.1 release is excellent. There are things you can do (like over clock your CPU) which Gingerbread won't do on its own. And there is much more.
There is also now an expected CM 7.2 release coming soon. And then CM9 which will be Android 4.0 (or Ice Cream Sandwich as they say). Its much easier to upgrade to newer CM Mods if you keep CM 7.
So I guess what I am saying is there is little advantage gained by using the Google Gingerbread release over Cyanogen.
I'm currenty using CM7 nightlies gingerbread 2.3.7
the UI is great, but the performance is slow.
I do also miss the old HTC Sense, with google sync.
I want to downgrade to Donut just like before because it works much faster than gingerbread.
Please give me some advice on how to flash old rom,
or give me some tricks, for me to stay and to still use my current gingerbread Rom.
My current clowkworkmod version is 5.xxx.
Thanks in advance
when using 1.6 ROM rooted some apps are not shown in the market like Whats app or Twitter... i'v tried a lot of patched markets and a lot of 1.6 ROMs in this forum .. can anybody tell me whats the problem ?
A lot of apps do not support android 1.6 anymore, most of them require 2.x and higher android versions, i would suggest you to flash 2.x ROM to get those apps..
I just want to recommend you Cyanogen Mod CM7 7.2.0 RC1 ROM. It's fast and smooth, good thing for your phone. I'd say that it's faster than stock 1.6 ROM.
Hey guys what Version most updated of android for HTC HD2 US is available??
thx
Have you looked in the nand section? Take your pick, there are eclair roms froyo roms gingerbread roms, honeycomb roms, icecreamsandwiCJ roms and jellybean roms. I can tell you that jellybean is so close to totally stable, its easily useable as a daily driver.
JB 4.1.1
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817793
I'm sure there's a million other threads like this, but the Iconia development world moves too fast for me to keep up, and for those older threads to maintain relevance. So I'm wondering what the latest and greatest ROMs are for the Iconia A500, and better yet a good guide on how to get it going.
Here's what I have going on right now:
1. It's running stock ICS (4.0.3, image Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1) applied through the OTA update.
2. It is rooted.
3. It has stock recovery, stock everything besides being rooted.
I do have experience flashing ROMs on Androids, rooting, ClockWorkMod, ADB, etc. but I have never flashed anything on an Acer before. Ideally, I'd like to throw CWM on there and a (mostly stable) JellyBean ROM. Can anyone hook me up with some threads?
Thanks!
EDIT: You know, from the looks of it, that CUS1 kinda screams that something isn't stock. The only explanation I have is it changed when I rooted it.
In Developement section I noticed JB 4.2.1 beta3 is most current if your going on JB numbers (over 4.1.x) not all works (but is getting better each version), read thread
if you goto any JB ROM , it will based on another BASE... ACER A500 STOCK ROM only has gotten to 4.0.3 so far (NO JB)
A good MOD or addon, I like is "Google NOW by Civato MOD" it adds Google NOW to 4.0.3. (ICS)
Lightspeed 4.8 is a great ROM (older ICS 4.0.3 based) but nice how it is stripped of bloatware) and you can add OC kernel and have @ 1504 Mhz
Civato, has made a few ics 4.0.4 ICS roms with A700 mixed in, better screens, etc.
I Like sticking with STOCK Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1. It's the most current STOCK version.
Then I strip out a lot of Bloatware, add in Civato's Google NOW mod. another MOD AD Blocker (etc\"hosts" file)
I tried JB on Another based ROM, couldn't get into it, I'd try 4.2.1 in few weeks when more is working.
*** MOST important to get onto ICS UNLOCKED Bootloader, and before that, GET CPUID before u do any other CHANGES
Hope this has been helpful.
So... Where do I start? What software should I use? Do I fix the bootloader first or flash CWM, or what?
