i have two recommendations, one for andy's phoenix rom and one for twrp recovery.

IMHO, andy's phoenix rom is both fast and feature-rich, even more so than mik's cm7 port. i have noticed an increase performance-wise going from mik's cm7 to andy's phoenix. and also, andy has implemented a lot of features into his rom, including a toggles menu in the statusbar dropdown and the ability to swipe contacts left/right to message/call. i think it is the best rom out there.

i used to be a long time cwm user, but i've switched over to twrp. in a way, it is more customizable than the other recoveries (it has themes) and it gives you more freedom in what you do (for example, you can choose what partition you want to back up when making a nandroid backup, you can choose to compress a nandroid backup to save space, you can make it reboot automatically after you flash a file, etc; you can do a lot with twrp). but best of all, it is extremely fast. everything from flashing a file to making a backup to rebooting/shutting down the phone is much faster in comparison to cwm and amonra.

guys what is the best kernel for void forever rom? thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
For battery life use either one of the kernels by fserve. For performance use the kernel by franciscofranco marked ".32" in the second post. You can find out more about each kernel by clicking on the links in the second post under the category "roms and kernels recommended by other users"
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
finally found more secret phone codes. go check them out :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
added an entire section on call forwarding to secret phone menus :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
what do you guys prefer?:

a) to have the thread updated whenever i find something new or

b) periodic updates (lets say every week or two) with many updates at one time
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Garuxa:
Option B :)

-----------------------------------------

@sweetnsour Maybe you should add this Fix DSP Manager for CM7 6.5.8 i tried this and it works wonders :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
thanks for the feedback! option b it is :p

with that in mind, i will be updating only on the weekends since that is when i have free time.

actually, there will be exceptions to this "update only on the weekends" thing. stuff like what you gave me need would best be posted as soon as possible since it is an issue that many are experiencing. generally, the category "noteworthy" will be the only exception and it is the category that i want to update daily for users to stop by and see what is, well, noteworthy (and it is there that the dsp manager fix will go). thanks again!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] logo_32:
Its been a while since ive done this... but here's my reason why ive recommended the ROMs..!!

First of all, there are some or the other flaws in almost all ROMs here with an exception of a few.. One being Miks CM7 port and the other being Void forever. The former because of miks continued development and the latter just because of knzo's exceptional developing.

Again for all who still gets confused, there is a difference between Void and Devoid..!! Devoid was the earlier version of Void developed by knzo based on FROYO..!! Whereas the void forever ROM is based on CyanMod, and was developed as an UPGRADE to Devoid..!! (NOTE: there are many different versions of Devoid too... one developed by franco is noteworthy..!!)

So id say, rather than going for Devoid, prefer Void Forever cause its simply better in terms of performance and battery..!!

About Andy's Phoenix.. well it is among the best ROMs developed for our devices but is still in development stages and needs a little workout before it can be caleed stable for all of common users...!! So unless you are a pro at android and knows how to take care of simple things and is aware of what is happening...go for CM7 as of now..!!

About the SonygenMod...ill have to admit though im not a Sony fan, Dax did a real good job in making me stick to this ROM for quite some time..!! Heavily themed ROM for all sony lovers based on Miks CM7 port :)

About kernels, there are basically two kernel types available for us, the 2.6.32.xx tree and 2.6.35.xx tree..!! Both are being developed by franco and as far as my tests are concerned, both have come to a pretty stable stage..!! A noteworthy kernel here is GOLDENLEAF developed by fserve for the .32 tree..!! Exceptional battery life as well as good performance..!! Note that franco has stopped developing the .32 kernel as it has come to a complete stable stage :) fserve's goldenleaf however is still in developmental stages and is being updated regularly.. and its pretty damn stable too..!!

Again a myth buster..!! Using .35 kernel gives poor battery life..!! :O Well this is not true..!!

Yes using the latest .35 kernel by franco lets you juice out almost the same battery life as .32 one..!!

So do not hesitate to use it with the 6.6.1 ROM..!!

Bottomline:

Recommended ROMs: 1) Miks CM7.1 port (6.5.8 & 6.6.1 both) 2) Void forever

Recommended Kernel: 1) fserve's goldenleaf .32 version & 2) franco's .35 version

thanks for the review logo_32! i will add it during the weekly update set for this weekend.

now, ive been thinking about integrating a "Q&A for problems" section into the general troubleshooting category. basically this section will hold questions on why things happen and, hopefully, solutions/answers to these issues. i have one: why does our phone sometimes randomly boot into emergency mode? this has been a problem both on stock and custom roms.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] logo_32:
Any specific symptom, as in when does this happen..?? Does it automatically reboot, or after you've given the reboot command yourself..!! Plus, it seems more of a hardware issue as u mentioned this happens with the stock ROMs too..!! So unless this is a frequent issue, try and perform a kdz flash..!! If its something that happens more often take it to the service center and get it checked..!!

Ill try and address this issue to my friend who works at a local service center..!! :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
no specific symptoms. it just boots into emergency mode randomly. this has happened only a couple of times so far so it is not that big of a deal, and yes i do believe that it is hardware issue. if you can check with your friend that would be great!

also another problem that i and several others have noticed. there are some wifi networks that will hang on "connecting" and will disconnect. what is solution to this problem? wiping everything (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache) does not do the trick. i have only experienced this problem on custom roms

Some apps that can be safely uninstalled:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] arczangel:
just installed this! and its awesome! a toolbox indeed! complete tools in a box! and its fast like hell!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
logo I respect your opinion but I'd like to clarify something.

void #forever is CM7 compiled using miks 6.5.4 or 6.5.5 sources (2.3.4). knzo changed a few default settings prior to compiling, added a few tweaks and scripts, and removed several apps. Most of which you can do yourself via CM Settings, Titanium Backup and adding the tweaks and scripts.

I wouldn't recommend void.#forever at all anymore. I might use it for reference but mik and the CM team have improved the source code alot since June. knzo has tweaked some of his tweaks since June aswell. IMO you're better off with a recent version of miks CM7 and tweaking it to your liking.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hero000:
What do ya mean exactly. If you are able to flash rom. It means it's already rooted. Why you want to root it again....? To confirm if you have still root access. Download emulator from market.

If the $ changed to # it means you have root privilege .

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hero000:
hmm very strange! I have flashed cm7 version 179. I've no problem. What's your software number now after flashing cm7?

copy any other ROM in root of your sd card, reboot your device make sure fastboot is off

press volume button down while your phone is rebooting. see if you can get into recovery...?

If not paste your software number here we might find a solution for it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Have you updated the Superuser app or Busybox?

You cannot use Visionary+ to root CM7. CM7 already has root.

Also Visionary+ is for 2.2 FroYo, CM7 is 2.3 it wouldn't work anyway.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 314:
Does the super user app work?

Try get into recovery and reflash CM7
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popeepopepope:
I really have no root looked in Terminal and Titanium Backup and Rom Manager also don´t work , yes I know that CM7 usually features root, so what should I do downgrade ?

And is there anything I can do to backup my savegames becouse Titanium Backup doesn´t becouse the lack of root.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PandaEmu:
I've noticed, after hovering without an account here for the last 6 months, that there is a lack of development progress for the gingerbread port from xdandroid. I know they are busy with the froyo builds and what not. But has there been ANY progress made for GB? I'm running the alpha build and it is noticeably faster than froyo on my tp2. The inbound sound when receiving and making calls is clearer. It also seems to handle my cell phone signal better than froyo. If there is anything new for gingerbread but hasn't been released could someone point me in the right direction? I am willing to use my phone for the devlopers to test new builds on and report back every function that works and doesn't if need be. Thanks in advance for anyone who answers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] A cool username:
Same here! :D I just visited the gingerbread thread, and arrrghhh (i'll learn the correct spelling eventually, or is that right?) basically said that they have to port the fixes they made with FRXO7 to gingerbread, so progress seems to be getting made;)

Sweet. Im excited about it. I prefer gingerbread to froyo. It handles data better I've noticed. I'll be donating some of my time going through the source to see if I can help at all.

[Android Apps and Games] snsd:
On my old HTC Fuze running Windows 6.5, there was a lockscreen digital clock that showed seconds eg. 5:00:48 PM. There simply has to be an Android *DIGITAL* clock that displays seconds. I just can't find it!

Ideally, I'd like it to be on the lockscreen - but anywhere would be great. (I'm a last minute person when it comes to my commuter train - and need to mind my seconds.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] knoxcoder:
I've thought of adding this to Chronotopia but it eats battery life big time. Maybe I'll add it at some point.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
If you make a search in the market there are some

Alarm Clock Free

Clock Widget digital

Num clock lite

etc etc

Not really for lock screen but there are lock screen replacements where you can add widgets
[Android Apps and Games] snsd:
Thanks for the responses. Because of battery life issues, I think that Alarm Clock Free works the best for me - although I may attempt to configure Clock Widget Digital on my lock screen.

Battery life is already a big concern of mine as I get terrible battery life already...

Quick question. I presume that if something like Alarm Clock Free is not being displayed on the screen that it is not impacting my battery life? Same with Clock Widget Digital if my screen is turned off? Or, do they chew up battery life even if they are simply running in the background?

If they use battery life even when the screen is off, I think I will go with Alarm Clock Free and kill the application after I've used it. (I think there might be some fairly automated ways to do so - and would be open to hearing about the same.)

Thanks again.

Dave
[Android Apps and Games] bra1nDeaD:
If it's an AppWidget (on your home screen or a widget in a custom lock screen) then it really depends on the implementation. Because of the nature of Android it is most likely that those clocks will update the widget every second, which eats battery. It might be that they have a check implemented to not update the widget in certain circumstances, like when the screen is off. But as far as I know (I haven't come across it yet) there is no (easy) way to detect if the clock is displaying or not. So I always assume that these clocks are updated all the time.

I was thinking of implementing a change on a widget every 15 seconds. So you would see: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 & 0

I still might do that at some point, but it should always be optional.
