So what is your experience running the new cm9/aokp rooms with T-Mobile modem? No stock dialer to set the preferred settings.
I have several questions here, and I hope that some developers come across this thread.
1. Is anyone familiar with a proven way or an ongoing attempt to get the stock dialer on aokp or cm9?
2. Are there tools available in aokp or cm9 settings to deal with connection properties besides the very limited *#*#4463#*#* ?
3. Those who have tried different modems which one works best? Admittedly a silly question as I have read that most people prefer sii leak or blaze but for some markets other modems work the best. But I am really debating switching to tw based rom as with aosp I cannot try some of the new things that come out now and then.
I have not tried to get stock dialer on aokp but there is an app on market (if it still there) called Network - that app will get your preferred setting.

The only modem that work on ICS I believe is this one

Couple of Silly Questions:
1). Is it possible to modify the open source ROMs available to use TouchWiz? I happen to be in the minority that like it. If not, however, no big deal.
2). Question for those that have flashed a new rom: Is it possible to get the Avatar app and the Sims 3 app to continue to work? Or do they just work out of the box?

It depends on what you mean by open source. Eugene373 was playing around with an AOSP build for the Vibrant, but it hasn't gone much of anywhere lately. His latest custom roms (Vibrant9/VibrantR3) were built primarily for getting rid of as much of Touchwiz as medically possible and they are basically stripped down and customized versions of the stock ROM. CyanogenMod 6.1 is the only other open source ROM being worked on and it's still in alpha. I don't see Cyanogen or any of the team members working on our port caring about Touchwiz as it sort of defeats the purpose of stock Android in the first place.
The basic point behind custom or aosp roms is that you don't like Touchwiz and prefer stock android, so it's a bit of a self-defeating strategy to think about adding back what the mods are deliberately removing.
If you like Touchwiz (as I do) then I'd say stick with stock and tweak/customize from there. It's too much work to approach from the other end and makes little sense. I'm basically stock, rooted, lots of the bloatware removed, MobileAP and the Captivate Camera installed, EXT3 lagfix...and that's about it. Phone is smooth as butter.
If you are running a custom rom, it is possible to simply push back the Avatar "app", as it's just a shortcut to the movie file on the sd card. You can also just run the VideoPlayer and start it from there regardless, so I guess that's a matter of preference. I got rid of the pointless icon. The Sims 3 install apk can be found in one of the system dump threads in the development section.
I am not a developer.but as a user i want something interesting.
But i can be your tester and let you know about your Rom.
I have seen many custom Roms and tried it on my SGS 2 i am not happy, all the roms say they have changed this and that but no visible changes just some color changes and EYE wash if any.
If there is any developer who can do something different rather than using the stupid Touch Wiz/Stupid MIUI which is like IOS .
let me know i will try it on my SGS2 if i am happy i will donate as much as i can.
Or give me pure google i know u will talk about drivers for specific devices include it your rom and give atleast pure google experience.
Every custom Rom change log is always long they say they changed so many things but i dont see any difference as a user and not seen so much problems in stock to fix. i test custom roms and i go back to my stock by restoring.
I am talking about development not modifying the existing software.
So many custom roms are out there but non of them are interesting i mean nothing new.
The fact is stock is excellent, there's not much wrong with them, if you want aosp try cm7.
We as users have a large choice of roms to choose from, the next best would be to have cm7 with some aspects of touchwiz but impossible to do with closed drivers.

Sounds like all you want is a new launcher. Search the market and try different ones out, or search for video examples of them, there's plenty out there.
You could take a look at what claystone 3d launcher is upto.

I am in the last stages of getting my Turtle Power Rom beta 1.0 ready for use but I would like to get a few people for testing.
The Project has turned into a very new thought on custom roms. What I am working on some have seen early betas of but this will not be anything close to what that was.
With Aroma Installer I have made it to where you can get several types of roms from the one base. You start off by choosing your base. For now you have the choice of MIUI or ICS sense. From there you can choose your launcher. So you can have a MIUI with sense, or with aosp ics, or others. Or you can have ICS sense with MIUI, or sense, or aosp. Then you can choose your settings type. Again you have several options of what you get. Then you can get Leedroid tweeks, and choose your service provider. There is sprint, cricket, and boost, but virgin and metropcs are in the works for future release. You choose your gapps normal or inverted. Your mms type htc, aosp, inverted aosp. Along with many other apps. You can get all your sprint apps vmm, sprint store, etc. You can choose from several boot animations.
This are just some of the things. As you can see by the options list the bugs can be countless so I am looking for many people to help with checking out different install types and reporting bugs back to me.
For those who would like to help out hit me up in a pm.
Peace,
Love, and
Happiness.
+1 good start
Please do make it for GSM too....It'll be great as your rom sounds good !

gsm?
Since I dont have a gsm I dont see this going that way. Sorry folks, but I would just be shooting in the dark and hoping for a hit if I was to try a gsm version.
Okay cdma users how about a teaser of what the next release will be like. This is only the aroma installer and will not flash anything to your phone. Enjoy.

Hello, I have been a member for a while, but mostly read, do not post on this site so I cant post in the development section yet. I have an EVO3d I am trying new JB Roms on to find a new cool rom , but every one I find I am having an issue here and there. I recently updated my Kernel to a different kernel, and that fixed some of the issues.
I am trying Paranoid Andriod JB and got everything to work, but receiving SMS messages. I cant find the setting for changing the Proxy like suggested in one post I read. Could someone point me in the right direction? Sorry if this is posted, I searched but was unable to find it for the Sprint Evo 3d. I found something for Cricket, Called APN manager. Would the settings be the same except for the mycricket inputs be sprint instead?
Any one know any other ROMs to try that are cool and customizable for JB?
Thanks for all you developers do, Love ALL of the work!
Chris
Hello, first and foremost I know where you are coming from. I've been playing around with jb ROMs for weeks now. You are using paranoid jb correct? The problem you are having is the developer ported this ROM over from another device meant for another carrier and thus the APN settings are not coded for sprint correctly. Generally, ROMs built from source typically have MMS and texting working specifically for that device. While no ROM is best and due to moderator preference we cannot have opinion threads on which is best. However I can point your to a few ROMs that have those things working. You can try gangnam style, king kang, unofficial jb aokp. Hope this helps.
I just recently started using custom roms thanks to a friend of mine. I'm currently using Cyanogenmod, I believe the most recent one (flashed to the one released today) but I noticed a few things were missing. The biggest concern of mine is that I don't seem to have Google Now on my phone, and I seem to have lost S-Voice (which I assume Google Now replaces). Voice search also doesn't seem to be working either. Whenever I try using voice search, it immediately crashes. Lastly, I don't get 4g HSPA+ anymore. I'm not in an LTE area but we do get H+ here. I noticed that I am on 3g all the time. Just wondering if there were any fixes for these problems. Not a huge issue, just an inconvenience I'd like to see fixed if possible.

Cyanogenmod has a discussion thread in the general section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035141
you're best to go there and ask - but before you do, a quote from the cm10.1 thread you downloaded the rom from
- Camera: Recording effects broken
- Camera: Touch 2 focus issues with enabled flashlight
- Bluetooth: audio streaming sometimes becomes laggy or stops at a distance > 1m
- FM Radio: unsupported
- TV Out: unsupported, will never work (proprietary, undocumented)
- Lots of missing and yet unimplemented features
- and a lot more
these are known issues.
Actually we have two kind of roms. Based on Stock Samsung Rom and based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project). It isn't the same and AOSP roms mostly are missing much things added by Samsung, for example Smart Stay, Samsung Apps etc. CyanogenMod is based on AOSP.
If you ask me I'd stick with roms based on Samsung, mostly because I believe it's much more compatible than "clean" AOSP itself. But it's up to you, I'd suggest flashing some stock rom (f.e. Android Revolution HD) and make a decision which one you prefer.

foxhound rom(most packed rom you can find!)
Rootbox(some nifty features plus it's very light and handles performance very well. Was also a very speedy performance rom on the s2)
