I finally took the plunge and rooted/loaded a new ROM on my wife's phone. Everything went smoothly and I figured that the best/easiest choice for a new ROM would be the CyanogenMod ROM 6.0 that just came out.
Since I loaded the new ROM, I've noticed a few things that I hope someone can help me fix.
First, one of the main reasons that I wanted to load the ROM is so I could get rid of that Amazon Mp3 app. The Froyo ROM I installed still had it
Also, I've noticed that when I try and rotate the screen, it takes several seconds (some times close to a minute) to actually rotate. This mainly happens right when I unlock the phone.
My wife says that the option to have separate tones play when an e-mail comes in vs an SMS has gone away. I haven't played with it, so IDK about this. She just wants to know if the message received was an email or a text.
There were some other things, but I don't remember what they were, so if I remember I'll post. But those are the big ones. If there is anything I can do to fix them, let me know please! Also, if there is a better, smoother, faster ROM for MT3G 1.2 than the CYGN 6.0, I wouldn't be opposed to reflashing.
Thank you for any help!

Let's start off by moving this to General.
The best way to remove a system app (Yes, Amazon MP3 is considered a system app) is by installing Titanium Backup and using that app to remove any system app that you don't want installed. I used it recently to remove Street View (Street.apk) and I was able to install the newest version from Market after a reboot.
There should be no reason why it would take any more than a couple of seconds to rotate your home screen. How many widgets and shortcuts do you have? Try locking the Launcher app to memory. That may help.
SMS notification:
SMS app, Settings, check Notifications, Notification Settings, Select Ringtone
Gmail notification:
Gmail, Settings, check Email notifications, Select ringtone
Email notification:
Email, Settings, check Email notifications, Select ringtone
Thank you! Sorry for posting in wrong forum. I debated General and Android... should have gone General!
As per the homescreen, I believe she only has 2 widgets: Analog Clock and some task killer widget. IDK if the task killer widget is the root of the problem, but I will have her remove it and see if that fixes it. I also don't know how to check if it is using a lot of system resources. Is there some kind of Taskmgr app that will tell me if that app is a resource hog?
Thank you for your response!
That Task Killer Widget. Oh My, that is one resource hogger. I tried it on my Tilt with Froyo ... it hogged up badly . I gave up, and got me a new myTouch 3G 1.2 off ebay.
Ok, I got the sound thing all working (really easy. Should have looked b4 I asked) But the rotation is still really slow
I was given a Droid to help develop a mobile application recently, and even though it has similar specs to the MT3G, and the same OS version, there is not lag in the screen rotation. I've installed most of the same apps on the Droid and still there is no lag.
Is there something else that could be causing the lag? Any thoughts?
Thanks
Have you uninstalled task killer yet? they actually do way more harm than good.
Froyo on Mt3g 1.2?
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I thought the only Froyo images for MT3g 1.2 were buggy at best and didn't support wifi or camera, among other things.
A guy I work with just put Froyo on his G1 and says it works faster than Eclair. I want in on that action!
As a MT3G user, I've found that the 6.0 Rom from CY is horrible with a Mytouch sadly. It's the rom not agree'ing with the Mytouch that is the problem, not the phone.
I'd suggest the 6.1 RC1 Mod from Cy, or this linked Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814142
I've had no problem with the linked rom working for me. I had some minor issues with the RC1 not recieving all my texts, though honestly I upgraded my radio at the same time as changing over to the new Rom, so I'm not sure if it was the ROM or the Radio.
Hi everybody. I hope I can get an answer to my question. I have a myTouch 4G by T-Mobile, the problem that I have is kind of simple for many of you guys. I installed 100s and 100s of all kinds of apps on it, and ALL of the shortcuts for the apps that I installed (not preinstalled ones on a ROM), all of the sudden got corrupt. They all come up with "Android Logo" icon and not the icon of the program. T-Mobile TV is installed on a ROM, so the icon for that is fine, but take an app "Movies", the icon for that is corrupt and instead of icon of this program, I have a little "android logo" icon. How do I restore all of messed up icons? I don't want to reinstall all of the programs whose icons are messed up. Please help?? Thank You

Are you rooted? Have you moved these apps to your SD card? Sounds like they all got moved to the card and can't be accessed now.

Hi. I'm not rooted YET, I think especially now, I'll go ahead and try to install "Glacier" rom.
Hi guys, I have noticed that when I plug in the headphones, my S4 only displays a notification for 'headphones connected' but does not create a 'page buddy', like it does on my Note 2. I have tried finding the option in the Menu, but was unable to locate it (on the Note 2 it's in the 'Display' option, but on the S4 it's no longer there).
Is anyone able to help with this? I can see the process is running for the 'page buddy' but nothing happens when I plug the headphones in, so it looks like it's not ticked somewhere in the menu?
Yeah, I'd like to find out about this, too.
Same here may not be in s4

Answer from Samsung UK on Facebook
I asked the question on Samsung UK's Facebook page and they replied saying that "Page Buddy has been removed from the S4, but it may be brought back in the future".
The good thing is that in Android 4.2.2 you can add a widget on the lock screen and control the music player from there. However, I cannot understand why they decided to remove Page Buddy from the S4. The process is there, if you look in the Application Manager/Running, you will find PageBuddyNotiSvc in the list, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

It seems the only thing it does it add the earphone shortcuts to the notification bar.
If you disable it, they no longer show up. I hate them anyway, takes too much room up.
Pagebuddy uninstall
I have a Samsung S4 rooted and can uninstall the pagebuddy app i am just wondering if this would be a good idea and if i do this will my phone stop working ?
Regards
I seem to be going insane at the moment after just plumping for a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge + moving from an Iphone 5.
Yes the screen, the speed, is all incredible and yes everything seems to take longer at the moment because Im coming from a lot of years of using the Iphone system.
But there is one simple thing that I just cannot seem to resolve at the moment despite trying several apps, several settings etc, and its just so simple I cant believe there is not just one setting somewhere for it.
All I want on my lockscreen when I press the power switch is to see the following.
What message I have
What emails I have
What Whats Apps I have.
I want to see who they are all from, ie the senders name, or the contact name thats in my address book ... but nothing else, no preview, no nothing, just
I have a Whats app from Ben
a Whats app from James
an email from Ebuyer
a text message from Suzie.
Thats it!
Why cant I have this? By all means call me an idiot and tell me the screen its on and I will laugh at myself along with everyone else, but I just cant see where this is at the moment. All I can get is either previews of all the messages etc, or just plain I have 2 emails, 1 message and a whats app, but not who they are from.
Can someone PLEASE help with this? Its driving me mad !! I have a fingerprint on the device by the way and I dont want to be able to reply to anything without unlocking the device.
Any and all help very much appreciated, as not being able to accomplish this just makes my android experience dead in the water at the moment.
Do you mean like that? If so; » Settings » Lock screen and security » Notifications » Notifications on lock screen; 'Show content'
No all I want to see are senders details,no content at all. I want to see that a text or what's app or email is from Jeff, but not the first line of Jeff text etc as it might be private. I don't get why there isn't a simple setting for this like on iPhone, its absolutely crazy.

The features which have provided by android, are looking normal to me(android user for looong years) Maybe you should try second party lockscreen apps(i.e: Hi Locker, Go Locker, etc). Good luck man.
I keep getting this annoying message from time to time on top of everything else.
Does anybody know what the hell it is?

Barrier Independent Protocol, relative new high speed channel for moving data between a BIP server and a storage device (like the SD card in a phone).
That said I have no idea why you are getting the message or how to make it stop.
Sorry
Maybe a bug in these initial firmware version... hmmm... anybody else that can think about something else?

It comes out now and then, but I noticed that it is always related to app bugs and if I write to the author it gets sorted.

Thank you alot , i recently changed my Sim card and that actually worked :laugh:

After setting up a brand new J7 and moving my apps over using Smart Switch app I had the same problem. The problem was the Smart Switch app didn't properly transfer over a couple of the apps. The background processes made their way over to the new phone but the app icons did not appear anywhere. The fix I did was to uninstall those "ghost" apps and then reinstall them. That resolved the problem. There were other quirky problems with other installed programs - all resolved by running updates on all Apps as well - all caused apparently because of differences between my old apps OS and my new phone's OS and the inability of Smart Switch to deal with those differences.
