Hello all, going to be dipping my hands into ROM cooking, and I wanted to get a few opinions on the matter. I have my own ideas on what I want to include, but I would like to get the opinions of some the users that may be utilizing it on what you may prefer.
1) What would you like the source to be? (10c that amberhome uses seems to be pretty stable, but I am open to suggestions)
2) What would be your preferred home screen replacement? (Please only free ones, or ones that have a free version)
3) What kind of tools would you like included?
4) Any other apps you would like baked in?
Any other comments or suggestions are welcome, this is not just my ROM, but will be others as well
I think that Lg's Launcher should be replaced with LauncherPro.
lg's launcher tends to be laggy with the xtra stuff they implement.. please stick with lp or equivalent.
As of now, I am thinking about putting Launcher Pro + vLauncher in. I am a big fan so far of vLaunchers app drawer.
Umm.. launcherPro is more preferable for me. JIT enable + hardware acceleration enabled. For the source can u make another 1 for the Asia version because i stay at singapore

By what people tell here,the roms are equal,it only changes locales or operators,so guess V10a would be good,because it is unbranded.
But if this theory is wrong,just go for V10c.

The only things that I replaced in V10a and that "for me" make sense to be put on a rom are:
Fancy widget - instead of the LG original one,because it shows the battery percentage.
Compass
GPS Status
Bar Code Scanner
Advanced Task Killer
AndroZip
Astro File Manager

maybe google reader and skyfire (for the ones that are always asking for flash support for this phone).
Oh and of course this tweak
Another important thing is what shouldn't be removed...
A thing that could be good is if you and corwin42 could work together,because amberhome v1.1 is a good rom,it just needs some things sorted out,and two guys work faster than one most of the times

wide language support will be welcomed, so try to compare it and you will see. It's not necessary to have everything because of its size, but it should be possible install next languages like chinese, czech, franch and so one. Most better solution to keep rom as small as possible - include only english and provide mechanism to select/download others.

So, I red few posts and it seems that not possible satisfy everyone - my solution - include home selector and two or three home screens with possibility to uninstall unwanted HSs.

I will keep this on others too, BUT - possibility to remove unused application is mandatory!!! Ideally for all applications which have not direct impact to system.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread
http://lifehacker.com/5707296/screenshot-tour-of-android-23-gingerbread-and-its-best-new-features
Also, ATM I am working on getting the modded kernel for the Optimus S (at least parts of it) working for Optimus T versions at the very least, which is the P509. Don't know weather any of it will be applicable to other P50x series, but I would like this to be in any ROM I release.
Hopefully by then others will have 2.3 hacked apart... and then... much fun will be had by all.
BTW anybody handy at sifting through source and with knowledge of arm cpu's feel free to contact me, any help or differing eyes/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
+ 1 Gingerbread!
Yes black notification bar would be greatly apprecaited.. and song shuffle with long press of volume +- keys would be a great addition...
Black status bar, circle battery with %, launcher pro, root.
It would be also nice to have gingerbread and fastboot.
A ROM like Kang-O-Rama would be great, I use this on my Nexus One and love it.

Use CM6.1 instead
#TeamFenix (IRC channel: #mytouchslide on Freenode) presents Cyanogenmod 6
Details/Goal: I've owned Android phones for about 2 years now, I've always enjoyed making minor tweaks to the previously simple CyanogenMod so that it would suit my purposes (lightweight, fast, good battery life). When CM6 came along I was slightly distraught that it had taken a turn for heavily drifting from the old AOSP with Google Apps (not entirely for the worse though). So I decided that I will modify CM6 to suit my needs and eventually compile it from source instead of relying on Eugene's or the nightlies.
Changes:
2.0
-Stuff was done, or something
-EVEN MOAR AUDIO FILES
-Better bootanimation
-100% untested!
1.9 (unreleased)
-**** all
1.8:
-Rebased on newest nightly
-Removed lots of crapware
-Made a flashable .zip that will let you restore said crapware
-Played with the kernel
--Apparently broke with the kernel, must use OC kernel (I think)
-It's BLACK!
-Fixed the force closes (by way of apk removal) of the Pinyin IME/OpenWnn IME.
1.7.1:
-Minor build.prop change to allow stock Swype to install/work
-something else I forget
1.7:
-Removed Swype as it is for wrong device (try the 2 linked below
-Custom pr0tips.apk (built off LithiumMod's source, thanks guys!)
-Bootanimation is back (custom #TeamFenix one soon!)
-Bluetooth audio (possibly) fixed, see instructions below
-Fixed the provision annoyance
Flashed and running. All good.
I think I'm having poor 3G reception at this time. WiFi works though....
I can confirm Bluetooth is working!
Keyboard works except the FN and Shift indicators.
More testing tomorrow....
I was able to update Swype using my method here:

Alright, that's what I'm on atm
flashing now
All the roms i've seen for the slide so far use ADW or HELIX launcher. To be honest I don't hear much talk about launcher pro. Is there a reason people don't use launcher pro? Or is it just personal preference?
rawr! i just finished flashing v1.1 and it works awesome, whats diff with v1.2?...OK flashing v1.2, camera and camcorder work great
Can anyone confirm the camera is working well?

So far, so good.
Apps2SD isn't working, right? Or do I need to do something to enable it?
I'm already missing certain Sense elements but the things I've gained are keeping my interest.
Thanks to all devs involved!
Thanks. Great rom, camera/camcorder working. Not sure how to get apps to sd. Also Has anyone figured out how to get swype working?

Personally I HATE Helix and Launcherpro is going to be a paid app eventually, I don't an issue with people making their applications cost money but I prefer to support a developer who's work will be free forever (hopefully) and accepts donations.
and with ADW I can set the overshoot to insanely high amounts

Apps2SD works fine (tested Froyo's native move to SD, with the Dictionary.com application on a 100% FAT32 card)
I can suggest some replacements to Sense applications if you wish (Beautiful Widgets + it's widget packs are great alternatives to their stock Espresso counterparts)

I'm not quite sure, I thought I had it working but it errors out (wrong device). You could try one of these versions listed, I will contact Eugene today or tomorrow to see if he has any insight
Also I was partially wrong about the camera being 100% fixed, the flash doesn't work (I saw a commit that probably will fix it by @cmsrc so it may be working tomorrow)
edit: The camera LED only works for the camera, not external programs. The aforementioned fix should correct it.

Its not Apps2SDext, its the native froyo apps2sd
I'm liking this rom so far and will use it as my daily tomorrow and see how it goes.
Some Issues:
The only way to bring up the lock screen is to press the power button or menu button. Home, trackpad, back, genius doesn't.

What's wrong with the Froyo implementation? Personally I think the old method was a PITA
Also those aren't issues, but configurable options. See CM Settings > Input > Trackpall unlock/wake. The others seem rather redundant (do you really wanna wear out home/menu/back instead of using the trackpad? Personal preference I guess, you can set WAKE_UNLOCK in the /usr/keylayout files though if that's really your cup of tea)

It's just that on the stock htc rom it does this and I thought it was an issue. Didn't know it was as simple as mapping the keys in some config file. Thanks for clearing all this up all I need is the trackpad.

Dear members,
coming freshly to Android and the Xperia S, I've got some questions for which I didn't find an answer, yet, and hope you can somewhat enlighten me.
The phone is LTi26, running 4.0.4, rooted on a reseller contract of Germany's D2/Vodafone.
regarding the Walkman-App, am I just to blind or noobish, or is there really no option to empty the list of currently playing tracks?
at home, I've got EDGE at best and use WiFi, but on the run, I can get 3G/UMTS. Is there a simple toggle/switcher, I can change networks with a single tap, instead of always digging through the menu?
regarding GPS, if it's off and I turn it on, there's always a window popping up, telling me costs may apply, data may be send, etc. Any way to dismiss this window forever?
is it possible to remap the camera button in certain situations? F.e., when the display is off and locked, I'd love to be able to give it a double-tap and have it turn on the camera's flash. Also, if the currently visible and active app isn't the camera app, it would be nice to use this button as a 'back'-button, so I can easily push it with my pinky.
I've read, that AMOLED displays can save power, when they display mostly dark/black colors, IIRC the Xperia S has no AMOLED, but is there a similar possibility? I'm not interested in fancy wallpapers, so it wouldn't hurt me much.
I'm currently happily using the ssLauncher in replacement of Sony's, but in the widget selection, some things don't show up, f.e. the music widget and the 'extras' (on click toggles). Is this a problem of this particular launcher and is there any way to still use them in this launcher?
I've seen a thread with a video, showing how to prick open the phone and be able to exchange the battery, but are there also compatible batteries available which feature a higher capacity?
I've installed the drobear SSHd (no links for noobs), but I'm not able to connect, it always gets a timeout. Not compatibe/config issue(client in question is my Gentoo desktop)?
Other than that, I must say, I'm currently quite pleased with this phone and Android in general. Coming from Maemo, there are still some things I'd like to be able to, but so far it's a good start and so far I'm glad, I didn't opt for the One S or the Droid.
Thanks for your help, regards,
S.D.R

While I'm at it, I'm missing FM transmit functionality, as in I had it with my old phone(N900). As far as I've read, it seems, the chip really only allows receiving in hardware, so not a fully functional module with the transmitting functionality disabled, correct? If that's the case, does someone have experience with fm transmission, as in what pieces of hardware are needed? If it's rather small, I'd love to get on of the bottom pieces, the one with the xperia writing on it, add a 3.5mm jack and the hardware and add it to the top of the phone, but I guess that's wishful thinking?!

we should be more social in this forum even if the dev gave you trash for your Phone, he has done it for free.
think about your opinion.
EDIT: this is my last comment about this bcaus its offtopic but needed -.-
Wow, are all WP-only users by default git's? Never have seen this kind of reactions on the android sections.
Bottom line, if you do not like it don't use it. If you like to criticise the work, make it worth it. Let them know why and how you think it would be better. And yes in a respectful and nice way like all grown ups should do. And no, I'm not just referring to being mature thank you.
Make yourself useful instead of looting and leeching software.
Question though: has anyone even looked into the battery drain instead of just complaining about it? Tried disabling all kinds of background running programs but not success. When going to battery save mode it stops the draining so it has to be a background sync issue. Switching off data did not help either.
Rolling back to previous version for now because I need my phone to work thanks for the effort though.
Dear Community,
I'm happy to have found Themer and would like to fully replace all Go Products. I don't trust that chinese crap with its adware and random lockups any longer.
Questions I'd love to see answered:
1. How to enable animations like in Go Locker?
2. Advantages over all other Launchers?
3. Which is the best replacement for Go SMS?
4. Security advantages over Go Products (pretty self-explanatory given the fact that Go Products come from China)
Even though not everything might fit this forum, I'd like to have your experiences as detailed as possible.
Thumps up will be given. Trust me.
Update: Themer looks cool, but doesn't seem to be the right option. I want 3D and I would like to place my app icons on my home screen like I used to. Any other Launchers you can recommend? C'mon, don't be shy!
PLEASE ANSWER. Thank you.

Hi SecUpwN, let's see:
1. We've just started, lock screen integration will arrive in the future once we are more stable.
2. The biggest advantage is that we offer the only one-click theming experience. Other launchers do allow you to add themes, but then you'll always need other 3rd party apps. With Themer, everything is included.
3. Hard to say, that's personal preference, but there are many great alternatives out there.
4. Well Themer is being developed in Irvine, CA. We can assure you that we only release quality, non-risky features and updates. The only push notification we use is one to "show off" your theme, which helps spread awareness for Themer and also helps keep it free. It can also be turned off.
Hope this has helped answer all your questions, feel free to ask more if you need
Thanks for answering, @ThemerSupport! How can I have a cool theme by Themer and place my own apps onto the home screen? I'm REALLY looking forward for that lockscreen feature! Having it, I could use Themer as an ultra-stylish locker and have a fresh home screen with my own apps on it. Aww man, maybe next year..
You can still add your own app shortcuts by longpressing the app in the drawer, then dragging it where you want on the home screen.
Same thing with any widget.
Of course, this likely ruins the aesthetic of the theme.
You can go to Menu > Advanced Settings > Unlock Widgets
And move things around to accommodate your additions.
Furthermore, you can just add an extra home screen and have your way with it!

Full icon pack support will come soon though, but what @Ryo Misaki said is correct.

Well soon users will be able to apply icon packs that they downloaded from the Google Play Store.

Cool! @ThemerSupport, would you please add the following options as well?
* Custom styling of lockscreen like in Go Locker
* Possibility of adding own app icons to the home screen
* 3D animations of the home screen
I know the app is in BETA stage, but would you please add these into your plan? THANK YOU!

I decided to ditch Themer as long as it doesn't provide basic features like NOVA launcher. It's sad, but without beging able to add icons to the desktop without destroying the theme, I don't want it. I'm using NOVA now - and it works just awesome.

We're trying our best to add in full icon pack support (as well as providing icons that are related to the theme), it hopefully shouldn't be much longer.

Hi,
Since Xposed doenst run on Lollipop (yet hopefully), I was wondering if any of you could recommend some alternatives if there are any. I know there is nothing wich is as good as Xposed but some tips on usefull apps might come in handy. Could Tasker be any help there, and if yes, how.
Thx in advance.
Xposed has never been "good". I'm so happy support is dropped.
Regarding alternatives it depends... What do you need?

I thought it to be good. I would lik to be able to add quicktiles, extended volume settings, more options to GEL. Stuff like that
I don't recommend anyone to use xposed.
Concerning your needs:
Volume: monitor this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.barrasso.android.volume
For now it doesn't support lollipop but the author says he will.
Quicksettings: don't know any alternatives
GEL: why? You a fan of Google now? Otherwise look at some alternatives. I use nova. Action launcher is soon getting a nice update.

naaaah come on, there is a lot of nice modules in xposed ...well with lollipop I don't really need them any longer.
But there are a few modules that I miss:
*Snapchare
*Keepchat
*Snapchat Full Caption
*SnapColors
Going to move this thread to q&a...
Just an FYI, a good launcher that gives you a decent level of customization (for a free launcher anyways) is Lollipop Launcher (from the creators of Holo Launcher)

I kinda like the quick slide to google now updates, tried/own several launchers. Ony thing I would like added would be quicktile settings and an option to close all background apps at once
