[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
this question has been asked and answered dozens of times.

the fastest rom is the stock rom wm6.1 with touchflo 3d 1.3

this touchflo version only has a weather tab, no weather on home screen. also not all sense 2.1 versions have home screen weather.

if there were such a thing as a perfect blackstone rom, no other chef could be bothered building own versions, the blackstone classically is a device on the line. it has a high display resolution, yet not the powerful processor, most new devices with that resolution have.

so, you have to pick, either speed OR a lot of features.

you can try cloudy 0.7 for instance. while on the one hand, it has not been updated in almost a year (also, as in most roms, the twitter tab does not work anymore). but it combines wm6.1 with sense 2.5 and it is relatively fast.

but if you are actually all about the speed of the rom, you might want to try a stock rom, and simply move the weather tab to the 2nd position, right next to the home screen. it isnt't too much work to swipe over the display once to check the weather. just think of iphone users, who with one swipe only just unlocked their phone and are hardly ready to access all kinds of information without launching 267 apps ;)

Fast rom and ram

Chef_Tony,

First of all sorry for going off topic i just have a few questions

1. Does more free Ram makes a rom faster. i mean if a rom have 100 MB free ram on start is faster then a ROM having 60 mb free ram.

2. I dont use manila, sense, titanium or any today screen, just resco today items, i use to have xperia x1 b4 my hd n there was this rom by laurenti, which have 160mb free ram.( x1 have 32 less ram then HD) and on my hd its only 100 mb(blackstonehedge v6.5) with sense, manila turn off, only resco today items, is there any ultra light rom like laurentis for hd(6.5 or 6.5.x bottom start button, X button closes app.)

3. if is there isnt any rom( i have searched, but might have missed) , can you please cook such a rom.

PS.

was using - Build 23134 - Laurenti v2 (new AKU 5309). from this thread on my x1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=676383
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
1. not necessarily. less ram usage extends your battery life and has more potential for running apps.

it does affect the speed, when the operating system, for the sake of the example, let's say wm6.5.5 with CHT 2.0, hogs all the ram and cpu power, trying to run a 3d game or watch hi-def video might get annoyingly slow.

but the general speed of the GUI cannot be read from ram or cpu usage alone. when picking a rom you should have a look, where certain packages come from. when a rom mostly consists of leo packages, you will see that it is quite slow, because the leo with 1ghz has much better resources. generally, packs from devices closer to the blackstone, like the rhodium, run slightly faster.

2. so much for the theory. if you don't use any of the built-in home screen extensions, you can pick practically any rom around here. either you go with wm6.1 for more speed, or you pick something newer for more finger-friendliness. in contrast to most other users, you don't need to choose your rom for the manila version. just have a look at the integrated apps, because that can really save you time, setting up the device.

3. there are several ultra-light roms:

- one would be a stock rom, it comes with almost no integrated apps and you'd only need to disable touchflo and you're good to go.

- there is also raving rom wm6.1, which comes without manila or sense, just a custom home screen and a very little ram footprint.

- in the energy roms thread, at the very bottom, you'll find a titanium rom, which is meant for users of own GUI solutions, like spb mobile shell or you resco home. but i wouldn't exactly call it ultra-light, because it comes with a lot of integrated apps.

p.s. despite my user name and avatar, i am not a rom chef, or any chef for that matter, it is just a parody of one of the most annoying persons in late night infomercials ;)

so unfortunately i can't cook you a custom rom.

After some odd app behavior, checked my A500 accelerometer with Phone Tester. The Z axis output is 0 to 19.6 m/s, rather than the -9.8 to +9.8 that is expected. Anyone else seeing the same issue? Is it fixed in the OTA?

Still running stock rom Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1
[Acer Iconia A500] Dusto79:
Yep, there is a discussion about it over at the android tablets forum under the compass being off thread. My understanding is the update has an accelerometer calibration feature in it so hopefully when those of us in the US get updated all will be well.

I need an app that will open an Excel file so I can read and edit it. I got Office Suite Pro but I don't understand how to open an excel attachment in a email.

Please advise
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] beatphreek:
I think that might depend on the email client you are using, but you should be able to just download it to your phone and open it there. I don't use that program, I use Quick Office Pro and the couple of word files I've opened I just clicked the attachment and it downloaded and opened it.

I was wondering if anyone has had any success getting HBOGO.com to run on any of the variant ROM. :confused:
[G Tablet General] litezout:
The app force closes as far as I know... the reasons and a workaround can be found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056436&page=2

However, if you don't want to go through all that, you can just use it through a browser window. I found that the easiest way to get it to work with FIOS is to login to your FIOS account through verizon first, then go to the HBO GO page and login, it should take your FIOS creds from there and you're good to go.
[G Tablet General] ctooley:
I got the app working, for a while by going through the Framework modifications. I couldn't get the website to work because every time it pops up the DirecTV login information the Flash from the front page just covers up the login page. Highly annoying.
[G Tablet General] litezout:
That was issue I was having with a browser as well, logging into FIOS first took care of it, not sure if DTV login will do the same thing.
[G Tablet General] brookfield:
I had the same issue. I was able to login using the web browser, but it was a Major PITA. Here is how I did it.

Using Dolphin HD..

1) go to hbogo.com.

2) click on the SIGN-IN option (As expected, the LOGIN screen is now hidden behind the main screen, you can see it pop through when you pinch to zoom.

3) Zoom in a bit and then using just a single finger, click where you believe the EMAIL address field on the sign-in form may be located. If you are correct, then the keyboard will pop up and you can enter your HBO GO email address (Assuming you are already subscribed). You will be typing blind, so just keep typing till you have your HBOGO email address entered.

4) Use the pinch to zoom method to get a glimpse of the login form to see if what you typed is actually going into the Email address form field. If not, then repeat steps 3.

5) Repeat the same step again for the password and then click GO. If you typed everything correctly, you should be all set and it will stay this way as I believe a Cookie is created.

It took me 10 mins of trial and error before I got it, but it works great!
[G Tablet General] rocketr2:
If I'm subscribe to HBO, do I need to pay something extra for HBOgo?
[G Tablet General] jhr0771:
No, I had HBO for a month, and I just went to HBOGO.com and entered my login infor for my dishnetwork account ( I guess that's how they validate that you have access ) and that's it, you have to create a login for hbogo too.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Insomaniac10:
thanks, i really appreciate it.

unfortunately my work is spawned more from creativity, rather than originality. My themes are generally comprised of kanged images from other scattered themes, mixed in with some of my own personal touches. For this reason alone, I dont think it would end well if i attempted to put it on the market, where i would get sole credit/profit from some other peoples images.

Of course I could always ask their permission....i dont know this might not be a horrible idea...im just not very familiar with how theme chooser works. care to sum it up?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
i have less than a basic idea of how the theme chooser works to be honest, i just know that the only roms for the vibrant that support it are the CM7 nightlies, i just know that it would bring alot of appeal for the many people on CM7 with other HDPI devices.

This link should help you understand how to make the theme Chooser APKS doesnt seem too terribly involved :

also alot of these themes look like they feature alot of kanged work, but getting permission never hurts.
