virtuous_xoom is the best, just above honeyvillan. Everything works, except the usb keyboard but there are instructions for enabling that but I haven't tried.

It sips battery power, but to be fair I'd never really paid attention with other ROMs.

For example, I was down to 15% after 27 hours of mixed use - probably 30% on 70% sleeping. This was with wifi on, sync on, overclocked to 1.5Ghz. I did disable the telephony APKs about (i.e battery saver) as well. I did not use the GPS at all. I also ran netflix for 1 hour during this period and used a lot of u tube.

Also Honeycomb 3.2 eliminates the non-default orientation home screen stutter/lag, which was a major gripe of mine.
[Acer Iconia A500] xdamanu100:
I have tried most rom out there and the latest tabooney was the 1 I used everyday. However I have now gone back to 3,0.1 rooted. All my gameloft games works, no fc, and browser displays like pc on websites. Ie bbc I player etc... about:debug ua string.

For me 3.0.1 works really well. Also use thumb keyboard instead od stock one.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
So what is the fastest (most OC'able) ROM that is best on battery?
[Acer Iconia A500] demmo81:
i have to go with honey villian - im up for 9 + hours with heavy use ( games, youtube, chat, surfing ) non stop and i mean it :) non-stop ...
[Acer Iconia A500] DeNZeL:
Wow! how do you do that mate? would you mind sharing your settings or modifications? :)

I'm also using honey villian v1.0.5 but I can only get 6 hours or so under heavy use..
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Mine lasted all weekend without a charge. Only went to 50%. HoneyVillian with kernel version 2.0 is the way to go.
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Wow! Had the stock and tried the xoom, never had the issues you are saying with the galaxy rom. I wouldn't consider anyother rom but galaxy, its is supper fast and smooth.

Other than touchwiz UX on it which is great, I would surf a lot, all the other roms caused screen ripping and clunky scrolling on web sites, but the galaxy is just smooooth and quick.

Good to see you took the jump anyway and had ago at roms, hope you are glad at least you know how to do this now :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] adm746:
So I have the Androidified tpu case which makes the power button kinda hard to press. Also I use NOLED which wont wake with the power button when there is a notification. For these reasons it would be nice to wake the phone with the front face buttons, as long as they dont accidentally get pressed in my pocket :)

So I was wondering if i could modifiy

system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl

and add a few WAKE_DROPPED where wanted and get the desired effect???

Let me know if you've done this already or you know it works. Ive seen similar things done with other phones. If not Ill just try it myself once i get a chance to make an odin backup of my phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] youngpettyboi:
I've actually found a way to do it. Instead of using the home button tho, all physical buttons work. Its a hack to remove the lockscreen. I actually replaced my lockscreen with Ripple Lock from the market with this. Give a nice Honeycomb style lockscreen with great options. Here's what I did...

Go to the dialer and enter #83786633, then press home.

Go back into the dialer, clear the numbers and enter *#22745927 and enter the SPC code 000000.

Hit the "HiddenMenu Enable Radio" button. Press home.

Go back to the dialer, enter *#7594# and hit the "Shutdown" button, then home.

The lockscreen is now GONE. :-) I have never reversed it to get the lockscreen back tho, I hate the AOSP lockscreen, and Puzzle lockscreens. The Ripple Lock app from the market is very smooth, fluid and has totally replaced them annoying lockscreens. Best of all, any physical button now wakes up my phone :-) I don't have any accidental presses either. Everything is great. Hope this helps!!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] adm746:
interesting...I saw a few other apps that would modify buttons/screens. My only concern is bloating up my rom...would love to do within the system. Also whenever I call numbers and press in codes I feel like I might be giving away my life savings to an anonymous bank account in the Caribbean lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] adm746:
Tried changing the .kl file. Specifically the home button. Doesnt seem to work. Let me know if anyone figures this out
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rememo:
Have you rebooted your phone since the change? I did this mod. and it worked fine until I rebooted. After a reboot the lock screen fix was still working, but the physical buttons no longer woke up the phone. Others have reported the same issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] youngpettyboi:
Yes, actually I always turn my phone off at nite, and when I turn it back on, my physical keys work fine to wake up the phone. Haven't had a single problem since. I would rather do it this way instead of going ib the system and screwing something up. Not that good at stuff like that lol.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
When it comes time to enter *#7594# and hit the "Shutdown" button, What is the "shutdown button? I did not see this anywhere.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rememo:
Huh... LUCKY! :) I'll have to try it again. Maybe I have an app. that's conflicting with my hard buttons.
[Verizon Droid Charge] youngpettyboi:
The "Shutdown" button comes right after u enter *#7594#. Click it when it pops up. Its an onscreen button. Not the physical bottom on the phone.

[Xoom General] ask_j:
Hi,

I have xoom wifi only. I bought it from staples and today when I went to staples I saw galaxy tab 10.1 as well as touchpad. My requirement is very simple. I want to give this to my parents, so that they can have a video chat with me. I was initially disappointed because skype did not have video chat available, then after reading some forums I was able to configure gtalk.

Another issue of wifi connectivity came up after 3.2 update. I guess that can be resolved after configuring some static ip. That I will try on xoom tonight.

Now I searched some forums in regards to which one is better and I could not get to conclusion. So need help from pros.. I do not want to spend more money than $499. Please help because I need to make my decision in few days as my 14 days will be over in next couple of days.

Thanks again..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NitroOnTheRocks:
I'm making my own ROM's and using a custom hosts file using these as sources:

After building and flashing the ROM, the system doesn't use the hosts file.

It still displays ads in all apps and when I go (with standard browser) to some address that's listed in the hosts file, it still loads the site.

To make the hosts file I used TextPad to sort all the lines alphabetically and delete duplicates.

The owner and file permissions are set correctly, I think:

Can someone tell me what's wrong with my hosts file or what could be the cause.

I already searched and found that an extra line must be added to the end of the hosts file. I tried this but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] shaheedu:
I have an LG Optimus 2X. I am from Singapore.

I "upgraded" the Baseband to 1035.21_20110614 using Smartflash.

Then I tried upgrading the Firmware to V10d ALSO using Smartflash. I put the AP file into the AP box and the CP file into the CP box of Smartflash.

Is this the correct procedure?

It still shows my Android Version as 2.2.2. How do I get 2.2.3?

What is the difference between BASEBAND and FIRMWARE?

Thanks for your time in advance.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
It could be done, but it would not be as clean as working with the original files. You may want to contact the developer and see if he would render it out again using the Inspire name instead. It would not be hard for him to change that and re render. It looks like he may have used AE and PS. If he wants to provide you with his original files then it can be changed with no problem and it will look much better that way.

"Thanks for the heads up, you, and anyone else, are welcome to use my work to port to other devices, revisions, diplays, etc... as you said, all i ask is a credit.

On a side note...

I will not be taking any special request for ports or updates at this time. Until the 3VO has s-off perm root my development is very limited. Now once we have s-off perm root then it's all on again" straight from him.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
I sent him a pm with some specific requests to see if I can get the source files. It would be a huge time saver to work directly from the source instead of modifying each of the individual frames as they are now. I will see what the reply is.

[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
thank you. downloading now. how do i apply this ROM?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Extract the update.zip and place it in your External SD Card and then use Acer Recovery and ClockworkMod, first you must be rooted then enter Acer recovery and install the ClockworkMod Recovery rev1.3.4 by thor2002ro and then enter recovery via reboot either by just pressing the 'Reboot into Recovery' on the right or off your machine and hold power button and Vol - together until some texts start popping up in the left upper corner.

After that you navigate with the volume and power buttons power button is OK/Enter and volume is up or down.

Scroll down to and select 'install zip from sdcard' then select 'choose zip from sdcard' and once you enter there you should see the update.zip that you put in you External SD Card and you select and then select it again and Voila! Done! Reboot!

Hope it helped!

I have been trying to upgrade to Android 3.1 and tried all ROMs posted here (i.e. Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1, 1.016.01 to Acer_A500_1.016.01_1.139.04_COM_GEN1, and, SD_Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1 to Acer_A500_4.010.22_4.010.38_COM_GEN1) and none seem to work. When I start to flash, I always get an Android character carrying and exclamation mark sign which I presume to mean that the ROM cannot be flashed. Any help would be appreciated.
