Looking for a very slim ROM - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking for a ROM that cuts out a lot of unnecessary things...it may not even exist. My Vibrant no longer has cell service. But I do use it for music, games and surfing the web sometimes. So, cutting the phone app and everything related to wireless comm (except WiFi of course) to help free up memory for the other things would be nice. Much like Rock box (I think is the name) does for iOS devices like iPhone. Or, any suggestions. I am currently using the CyanogenMod nightlies for 10.1. Thanks for the attention!

Unfortunately, this ROM also cut the android apps out...I am having difficulty finding them again. Cyanogenmod's for 2.2 of course aren't working. This would be a good ROM if I still had access to the Play store when connected to WiFi. Can't even find anythign ont he forum inless my search terms aren't tweaked well enough.

I've been using Android-VNC-Viewer since I bought my Atrix. It's worked great so far. Best of all, it's free! You can find it in the market.
I'm using Ultra VNC on my server.
Let me know if you have any questions. It may be a bit difficult to set up at first. Good luck!

Sounds like port 5900 is closed. Google "port forward", click on the first link, and follow the instructions for your specific router.
You can verify whether or not a port is open at CanYouSeeMe dot org.
Let me know how it goes.

I used Splashtop on my old phone. Insanely quick - you could even watch videos and listen to music. Hell, I managed to do some basic stuff in photoshop!
I'm a fan of VNC, but it's not the most secure thing around.
I would set up a VPN connection to home or an SSH tunnel to use it. That will add to it's security. If you go with the port forward route, make sure you shut the forwards off, or close VNC when you don't need it. (Read, VNC alone isn't very secure)
If your not a network geek, then I highly recommend Teamviewer.
It just works, thru whatever firewall setup you sit behind. With zero configuration. You can also add ACL's to allow connections from only certain IP's/Clients to lock your install down a little better.
Been using team viewer for years now. I its the best on market. And free as well.

i use unified remote. simple, and works great
Splashtop remote is a godsend in terms of quickly showing you what's going on on your computer. It essentially makes your phone a remote display capable of not only controlling the computer, but also watching videos, and even playing games. The coolest thing for me is the ability to stream the audio from your computer to your phone. Hope this helps
This does use quite a lot of data so I suggest running it on wifi. There's a free demo as well that you can try.

Im on three network with unlimited data and would love to find a tweak to let me use apps thinking their on wifi. I had this tweak on my iphone but can't find it for android.
Thanks

Alternate music player?

So I'm looking for a program that looks like Google Music and will list all the tracks I have on my phone in a list sortable either by band or album. Google Music has for the past couple days refused to play anything that's not streaming and even when streaming it sometimes tell me it can't play the selected stream. I can use root explorer and play the files on my phone individually but when selected in Google Music it says sorry can't play selected track. I think I'm gonna try winamp if this thread gets no replies. Thanks in advanced for your help guys!

I've actually been having the same problem with my google music as well. would you happen to be on a ROM? or just stock phone?
I tried out the free demo of poweramp and i actually liked it quite a bit. Winamp was also very good for me and it let me wirelessly sync to my laptop to boot!!

I have the issue using both aokp and shostock2. Haven't tried on a stock rom but I have little interest in going back to stock just for Google Music. I like face unlock too much. =P I don't want a music manager on my computer. Do you think I can plausibly use winamp and just ignore the sync component conpletely? I think I'll look into poweramp for now. Thanks for the suggestion. =]

I use Player Pro - and one warning about winamp - I could not get the phone app to stop looking for the desktop component that wasn't there - which meant it was draining the battery something nasty continually pinging the network.
This was a couple of months ago - they might have fixed it, but just be aware.
I had cloud skipper before flashin ics and it was cool but didn't ever think bout getting it again been using stock player and it's fine but I see alot of ppl sayin power amp might check it out

Zite on CM9

Hi,
I recently made a switch to CM9. I was using an App made for webOS called Zite. I like Zite and want to continue using it. I found app in Google Play. I am trying to install Zite from Google Play. But it shows message that "your device is not compatible with this version". I tried modifying build.prop but there was no impact. Is there a way to install Zite on CM9?
Thanks
Do you have any other android devices? You could try side loading from one of them...
Never mind, I uploaded it here for you since it's a free app. Just use your file explorer to install it!

Flipboard is really awesome. In app experience is just awesome. Smooth like butter on TP. U can't install it from play store though (like zite). Side load it using the procedure mentioned above by SGA

Here is an app to send apk's via Bluetooth or gmail. Make sure you have it set to share apk and not link.

On android zite does not support tablets. Have you tried to side load it? Try to Google zite.apk the only problem with this method is it won't do updates but you might get it to work until they come out with a tablet version.

If you can't get Zite working well for you you might want to look at the app called Google Currents. Even when I was using webos I wasn't a big fan of Zite . Currents works pretty well.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
I have never used Zite but as others mentioned, Flipboard (side load required), Google Currents (loads fine from market) & Pulse (market loadable) are a few that work perfectly good on TP.
Thanks for responses. I have Flip board, Google currents, APPY Geek and Pulse in addition to Zite. I use all these apps. I almost exclusively use those . I recollect installing all these from play store with cm9 June version. No side loading. But now (with aug version) it won't let me. Even Flip board says app is not compatible, however I have it already installed. My major issue with Flip board is, it only works in portrait mode.
Zite on webOS is beautiful. I am a business user and am one of those who like webOS's simple user interface.

Netflix now crapflix

Ok I am sure all netflix users have found out that we have been had. There app will automatically update and no matter what I do I can't stop it. The new app is not very responsive and fails to load all the thumbnails. It's not as bad on the 3vo as it is on the og but still sucks. Plus I liked the old look better. So what I am wondering is if anyone knows how to stop it from upgrading?

Did you uncheck the auto update on the market? Mine never updates.
Yes I did. I still have the black splash and auto rotation but the main ui has changed.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the update. I have a backup of netflix in titanium backup from about 4 months ago and as soon as I restore the app and data it loads the new interface. I thought netflix was slow before, I didnt think they could make it any worse. They might be trying to push people to upgrade their devices. The app works on the 3vo, but my wife has an evo 4g and it barely works now.
yeah i am in the same boat. i have the og and my ole lady has the 3vo. damn you netflix!!!!!!
The Netflix app's user interface is really just a web page. There is NO way whatsoever to get the old user interface back, because it is served directly from Netflix, as opposed to being a native Android user interface.
I agree that it blows. Why can't Netflix make a UI that lets us actually be able to browse ALL of the available titles? For instance, if I check the science fiction movies on the app, I apparently have a choice of about 20 movies or so to watch. Yet, you can search and find all kinds of additional titles. Why can't I just browse the damn library of titles?!?!
After a little bit digging.. Seems to be a server side updated rather than a full app update...

I very much agree. Netflix is quite un-user friendly. Half the time you have to know what you want to watch and search for it, and even then it's very hit and miss. I especially don't follow why Netflix has say... movies 2 and 3 in a series, but not the first one. DEFINITELY needs a massive UI update to allow entirely library browsing. not just whatever 75 titles they feel like showing at the current time.
I got fed up with Netflix, left August 1st.
Once Amazon gets a little better selection I'll head over there.
