Blandroid on N1

I just noticed, blandroid rom on the rom manager menu, has anyone tried it on N1? I'm using cm7 Rc4 and I know you'll all say stick with it, but I'm still curious.

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. It says it's a stable 2.3.3 with no bloatware. Sounds very intriguing...in fact so much so that I downloaded it, but have yet to flash it...lol.

Certainly tempting isn't it, is this a case of who goes first lmao, out of interest how big is it? I notice the cm7s are just over 80 mb.

Seems like a plain stock ROM, nice to see to be honest.

Noticed the same thing, but was wondering what all it supports, site doesn't say much. I.E. what kernel it has/supports, TB alert stuff like that.
Hopefully the dev comes and explains what all he's done.

Well, I flashed it, for like an hour then when back to cm7 using the recovery I made.
First thing, market didn't work.
Secondly it didn't have the extra apps cm7 has, which I expected, but I instantly missed theme chooser.
Thirdly it wiped my contacts list.

First. The market issue is probably a wipe issue as I had the same problem with two different MIUI GB ROMs.
Secondly. That would be the lack of bloatware mentioned above. It's like stock android, so not sure why you even flashed it if you wanted bloatware.
Thirdly. It didn't wipe your contact list you didn't sync with google, becaue all of your contacts are backed up there.

You know what, I knew that'd be the replies I got, to be honest I'm curious of any rom that 1might increase battery life, currently using 85% over 10hours!! And of course the dreaded wonk which is seemingly inherent with cm7.
I couldn't force Google to sync with my phone, all my contacts are stored with Google you're right there.
Btw how would I get the market back?

Blandroid 2.3.4p0 works pretty good. Just curious about this app hidden in the list written in Chinese ...

I think it is another keyboard app. When you go to change the keyboard, it lists something in all Asian symbols.
I just deleted it and I have not noticed any difference with how blandroid runs.

The wonk was almost fixed on latest release of cm7. If you don't have the latest version, try it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

Nearly fixed isn't fixed. The problem is really dragging out and these stock ROMs are showing that its fixed with them. Wonking isn't the only issue at the moment either. There is still problems with the sound levels after docking the phone sometimes where its maximum level is halved etc.
CM is an ace project and I truly respect the guys and their efforts behind it, but CM7 is very buggy, and when it starts to affect the ability to take calls its hard to use it.

Oh! Thx for the reply. I got scared and ran back to cm7

Give E-xtrememod 2.0 a try, been on it since yesterday and no probs so far, looks nice too!

I dropped cm7 for this rom. Great battery life no wonking - no more cm7 for me

What sort of battery life do you get and is there good support from the Dev?
I could go for no wonk
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

I like!
Went for this until the CM stable kills the wonk; now I may not go back. I haven't used it for long enough to know about stability. I think of it as pure AOSP, but already rooted (and a just a few essential CM goodies).

So far, I haven't found anything missing I need.
And if you want a bit more eye candy and customization, just install launcher pro or adw.launcher from the market.
I give it thumbs-up!

i havent noticed that issue. when you say 'most apps' are there some that dont? are you using stock keyboard?

All apps ive tried does this, but not android os menus ...sorry for not being clearer.
Stock everything except for kernel. Im back to 4.1.1 now. I just couldnt take it, and now it works as supposed to again.
Would like to upgrade though, so i hope this gets fixed sooner or later.

Keyboard swipe bug with 4.2.2 update?

Not sure if it's maybe unique to me but after the 4.2.2 update, when I'm using swipe typing with the stock keyboard it no longer inserts a space automatically when I finish entering a word so I have to keep pressing space in between swiped words. Anyone else noticed this, or have any suggestions of something else that may be causing it?

Works like on 4.2.1 for me

It's working fine here...
Do you have any mods installed? And which kernel?

I notice the same. It's only in certain input types though. I've noticed it happen in SnapChat and the Chrome search bar.

I just flashed the latest PA, 3.0, and the swipe text input has gone for me too.

I haven't got any ROMs or anything like that. Still plain old stock android. And yes actually it seems to only happen in certain apps like chrome. Talk and WhatsApp are fine. Anyone got any ideas?

Haha just got it. Nice

Mine seems more buggy after the update. Sometimes skips letters when swiping. Mostly works though. On stock not rooted. No other keyboards installed.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Mine has spaces every where excluding the URL bar on any browser .

This is happening for me too but I only notice it in chrome search. It's pretty annoying and only since 4.2.2

Anyone any the wiser on this yet?

It works fine for me. Perhaps it is a bug with some unrelated options? Try changing some of the settings and see if that changes something.

Hmm can't really think of where to find settings to change. Any suggestions what type of thing to try?

[Q] Swiftkey-Keyboard changes to AOSP-Keyboard.. but I dont want that to be :X

Hi Guys,
dont know where to start this thread, but i thought this could be the right place. If not, sorry for that
Following problem
Today i flashed (clean) a new update of Xylon on my Nexus 4. Usually I use Swiftkey 4 for writing. Installed and set up SK4 like eveytime before. I also set SK4 to my standard keyboard. Some minutes later i wanted to write again and suddenly the aosp keyboard was on. Dont know why. Well.. changed again to SK4. But the whole thing started again. Does anyone know that problem or knows a solution?
But now theres the crazy thing! On my girlfriends phone (One S) happens the same thing today! (Flashed an update today, swiftkey4 as main keyboard.. open some text input and theres aosp keyboard now.. changed back to swiftkey and wrote... next time again aosp keyboard..)
I hope u know what i mean and u can help me!
Thanks so far
Cls

i can just disable aosp-keyboard.. and already tried it.. then no keyboard shows up and i must also apply swiftkey again..

This used to happen to me. Did you restore apps with Titanium or something similar? It would happen when I would restore keyboards with app data using Go Backup. Uninstall the app and then install it from the play store...this worked for me.

Did you try to Greenify the swiftkey app? it will cause that.

So all this started when you updated the roms? Have you checked the rom thread to find out if others are having this issue?

I have started to use greenify recently on my note 2. Didn't really need it on the nexus 4 but this happened a while ago. I may have tried it on the N4. You could be right.

[Q] Any ideas? or suggestion?

Alright so obviously I have the nexus 4. This really isnt a big problem for you guys I just need quick help.
You see I'm getting really bored. Maybe because its a developer phone and I'm obviously not a developer. I keep trying to sell it and since my birthday was today I almost got the galaxy s4.
I just keep thinking if there was something I could. do to this phone to make it as cool as the galaxy s4 I'm just not impressed.
I have rooted
I have over clocked.
Installed custom ROM
I just need Idk features that make the phone cool. Or something that'll keep me busy so I'm not bored.
Thanks

read around, maybe something will catch your interest. personally, i dont need the extra features. i look for something lean, and optimized, which usually means fast. the simplicity of android makes me happy, i dont need anything else.

rasbean jelly rom with the trinity kernel. but thats what i enjoy

Its basic human nature that they get bored after using the same thing again & again for many days. After a month of usage, I was bored with my S2, then I started trying out new ROMs, I used to change ROMs once every 2 weeks.
I got my Nexus 4, 3days ago.........
Try out different ROMs, try different software tweaks, or different apps from Play Store atleast. Otherwise just find something/someone other than your Nexus 4/10 to remove your boredom......

okay see because I over clocked and rooted my Nexus 4 and 10. Running pa with stock kernel. I literally took of Faux kernel does now because it was overheating my phone. I still have my Nexus 10 overclock and rooted. With same kernel. I just need something else to do with my phone. When I usually go hiking or trailing I do photosphere's and then add it to Google Plus but other than that there's nothing else to do

What you need is tasker!
That should be a really interesting project for you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsIm5ldC5kaW5nbGlzY2guYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrZXJtIl0.
You can do anything with this app

What you need is to change the way you interact with your device. Remove the nav bar and use pie (learn to use gestures) , nova launcher (and many roms out there) have the option to remove the notificatiom bar. Use dashclock with the extentions as a homescreen widget. Use halo for notifications. Use icon packs to change the way your UI feels, change the wallpaper more often. If you're on google+ take a look at the communities, people are doing some crazy stuff customizations, try to replicate those themes.
Buying the s4 won't solve your problems.

Yeah the only thing Im not doing from what you said is using halo and pie. I did that with my nexus 10. The reason why I didn't on my nexus 4 is because I put tablet ui and made it transparent and made the app drawer transparent too
