[Motorola Photon 4G] noob_2010:
Long story short I tried installing a different camera=no go. I saved the camera.apk photon file but when I went to installed it said "application not isntalled" I even used apk installer. Also put it in system/app folder. still no go. I even did so much research still no go..Did a factory restore lol still didn't show up(wow really). then I installed clockworkmod and did a factory restore, still didn't show up!!!! Looks like my only options would be to install a custom rom but I dont wanna....

So do anyone know how to install the camera.apk file?
[Motorola Photon 4G] phatmanxxl:
I think you need to set permissions too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202743 Here you can try flashing this. You must 1st remove the old camera apk you installed. I think it only works with boot strap recovery.

If none of this works you can do a full wipe and flash sbf with rsd. Or flash custom rom.

hi ,

can some one help me ROOT nexus s (s=off) and get sense ROM ported as well?

Please let me know some good htc roms that can be ported on to nexus s...

Cheers...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
For root use the stickies at the top of the development subforum. For sense, buy an HTC phone. Its all AOSP here, the point of this phone is to have stock Android. Please familiarize yourself with the search feature or do some good old reading.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Sense is also closed source afaik, so you can't just port it. You need to rebuild it.

[G1 General] phin586:
Hey guys I know this question quite possibly gets asked all of the time. I'm looking for the fastest and most stable rom for my 32b.

Here is what I need to know.

Best rom, radio and spl combo.

I wouldnt mind it being cyanogen based as im a huge fan of the power control widget in the notifications bar and some of the options.

Doesnt matter to me what version is it, as long as its 2.1 or higher. Reason? App compatibility.

So please. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks again and sorry for the "n00b" question.
[G1 General] Konkinator:
I just put Frosense by Rushness on and it is the fastest I have ever used. I have ezTerry's non-engineered spl and the alternate radio which gives +14 MB RAM
[G1 General] Aleks795:
I am using Frosense by Rushness & i think it's fastest rom that i ever see!
[G1 General] phin586:
I actually just installed cyanogenmod 5.0.8 with the 2708+ mod for it and its extremely fast. I'll have to make an nandroid backup and see what frosense is all about.
[G1 General] Aleks795:
Anyone know rom witch i can run Angry Birds without "laggs"?
[G1 General] phin586:
Try an older version. I personally do not play the game or care how it runs. My main concern is how to make my phone run well on a day to day basis.

Cyanogenmod with the 2708 radio, and swapper2 using a 64mb swap partition has proven to be the fastest yet for me. All of my apps work and although i had to downgrade zeam to make it work with Eclair, i'm still happy with it.

everything is snappy. My widgets work just fine and the overall experience and usability of my phone is what i would expect it to be.

I would love a froyo rom and i may try frosense in the future. for now im content with what i have.
[G1 General] cabrerachaparro:
Froyo for Trout is very fast.
[G1 General] Litesorrows:
If your looking for a super fast GB rom use mine. It has 60Mb of free space, aways 20MB or ram free. Look for Nomy's CM7.1 2.3.7 in the Dev fourm. There's no swap,or MTD. It's under 40MB Zipped. Hopefully will be under 40Mb unzipped :D
[G1 General] phin586:
I would love to use GB. How does it rate in terms of speed and battery compared to eclair? I'm looking for the best overall experience.
[G1 General] phin586:
So far the 5.0.8 2708 mod with the last bifftest kernel has been the best overall for me. Almosted tempted to try it on 6.1 to see if I have the same luck.
[G1 General] Frodo1910:
Frosense i used it and it's over.With the new release it will own the rest
[G1 General] Aleks795:
Try Cyanogen 5.0.8 2708+
[G1 General] phin586:
Aleks. Thats what im currently using with the updated biffmod kernel. Works great!

Wondering if the 6.1 2708+ would have the same success plus the little extra i like like notification bar power control and updated zeam by using froyo.

If i could get that and keep the same nice batterylife and speed of 5.0.8 2708+ i would be one happy camper :)
[G1 General] phin586:
Still wouldnt mind a froyo+ rom. looks like when it comes to speed and stability its either going to be biffmod or froyobylaszlo. any thoughts?
[G1 General] Ace42:
xtreme-froyo-1.9.5-signed.zip

Google that rom or find Xtreme froyo, this ROM is best 2.2 I've found for G1...The battery drain is okay, in Biff it was faster, and in Ginger the battery was awful. I tried 2.1 ROMs but they seemed sluggish.
[G1 General] phin586:
Seems everyone likes froyo by laszlo as the best feature/speed/battery balanced rom. does this do better?

never seen it here so i figured i may as well ask.
[G1 General] leevwan:
froyobylaszlo 5.2, spl latest, swap 128 +512 mb ext4 - my option

it seem to be fast!
[G1 General] phin586:
What kernel? What compcache settings? Etc.
[G1 General] phin586:
Just curious. Since i get great results (performance is satisfactory and battery life is great) with the biffmod kernel over the ezgb kernel in cm5, couldn't the same be said for almost any other rom so long as i use that kernel? The only downside ive had with said kernel is i cannot take 3mp pictures. The camera is sort've crap anyway so i can live with 2mp.

The reason i ask is because i would like to bump it up to froyo but would like comparable performance with about the same battery. Our am i just living a pipe dream?
[G1 General] philip.a.chetcuti@gmail.c:
What I need out of my G1 is battery life. I pretty much use it only for email (wifi and mobile). I've tried pretty much every rom out there for G1, even went all the way back to Donut assuming its battery needs would be minimal. I saw ezTerry's gingerbread and thought, hmm, I'll install it just to see what its like. I assumed it would be very hungry and I'd go back to something lighter. I was very pleasantly surprised.

I've had it running for about a week and a half now. I have wifi on all the time, and the stock email client is setup with a fairly busy exchange server account (push). The gmail client is also setup with my main gmail account.

I am averaging 30 hours like this between charges.

I should say that I do not do alot of voice, perhaps 20-30 minutes per day (on a busy day), so this is strictly an internet device for me, no games, not alot of surfing.
[G1 General] phin586:
Ended up going with froyobylaszlo. Working great. :) I ended up getting a couple of missing text with ezgingerbread.
[G1 General] Maxamillion:
Wouldn't froyobylaszlo slow down since its cyanogenmod 6 and cyanogenmod 6 tends to slow down after a while?
[G1 General] phin586:
Not sure. Seems to be running great for the last couple of days. I will report.

My question. Other then the market update, what else would be slowing it down?

I suppose time will tell.
[G1 General] Keylogger_0:
I can confirm you that FroyoByLaszlo DOES slow down. I've been running it for almost a year now, but it's starting to slow down now. Great ROM by the way, excellent battery life if you tweak it right.

One time, just for fun, I tweaked it and tested to see how long the battery would last, and the outcome was amazing. The battery died short of 72 hours! Note that this was done on the stock battery that came with the phone.

One thing I strongly advise, if you want to use FroyoByLaszlo, in the performance settings, I'd recommend you to disable compcache, the phone will run faster that way. Also, I would recommend you enabling JIT, it seems to make the G1 run faster. The last thing, in the performance settings, is to make sure the options for locking home and locking messaging app in memory is UNCHECKED. It greatly increases the battery life on my phone, but at the cost of POSSIBLY losing some texts.
[G1 General] Maxamillion:
how much slower did it get? a lot or just barely? would you say its the fastest rom uve tried?
[G1 General] phin586:
well i would imagine that any rom will slow down after a year. things just get built up.

right now i have it running with 64mb of swap. i have a couple of widgets. only 10% of the swap is usually used. im often multitasking and everything runs pretty good.

i do keep messaging locked in memory.
[G1 General] Keylogger_0:
It's noticeably slower, but I've come to believe it's the gapps that's making it slower. All the bloated gapps like Market, Maps, Navigation, and the like. All of these usually crash after a while. Also, I probably should remove a lot of apps too, I have lot on the G1, more than 70, actually.

I would actually recommend the ROM, and I strongly recommend people who wants to use this, to apply the latest PowerSaverKernel

for froyo

. It really helps with the battery.

I really like FroyoByLaszlo, that's all. I've tried many different ROMs, like COS-DS, ezGingerbread, FroSense and GinSense, and many others. It doesn't click as well as FroyoByLaszlo. Each of these ROMs are good, but I always found myself going back to FroyoByLaszlo.

It really depends on the user, what their preferences are.

I've found that setting no swap, no compcache, a lot of Ext4 space really helps the G1 outlast its usable life. I don't know about you guys, but with this setup, I can run 245-614 MHz on ondemand governor with very few crashes, almost none actually.

As an added bonus, you don't even need SetCPU or any CPU management apps, it has its own, albeit very basic, app integrated in "Settings > Extras > Performance Settings. I like this option as it doesn't drain as much battery since there's no app that actively monitors the various states of the phone.
[G1 General] Maxamillion:
Really? Out of all those roms, froyo by laszlo was the best? Care to explain how?
[G1 General] Keylogger_0:
Well, it largely depends on the user. Some people may prefer other ROMs, but for me, I've preferred FroyoByLaszlo. Some ROM's I've used literally ate the battery like an all you can eat buffet. Within 3 hours, the battery was dead. If I remember correctly, COS-DS was the ROM that ran the hottest on my phone. It was constantly warm, even in sleep mode. When I used any resource intensive apps like the browser, it would literally get hot. Like 42 Celsius hot.

But for FroyoByLaszlo, it did get warm when using resource intensive apps, but almost rarely hot. It did get really hot, few times, and that was when I used WiFi tether to a laptop and used it for 2 hours or so. It went up to 40-45 Celsius. Other than that, it didn't really run hot.

Also, I think one of my main reasons I keep going back to FroyoByLaszlo is because I think I'm so used to it, used to the launcher, the snappiness, and everything that makes this good.

Also, I've noticed that sometimes certain phones run certain ROMs better than others. That's just my observation though.
[G1 General] phin586:
Keylogger, I've locked my market at the latest 2.x and am using the BRUT version of google maps available here. Both offer exactly what i need and do not kill my resorces. I do like the latest gmail, but it isn't always loaded and seems to take little space.

but yes, froyobylaszlo has given me the best performace, battery of any version while being able to run any 2.2+ apps i may want (latest zeam, mostly)

I have compcache off and i do run the 64mb swap, which is great. i also did a custommtd and am able to keep most of my apps on my internal storage for what feels like a little more speed.

works untill my upgrade is available in december.

mind you im using a mytouch3g 32b. it was a replacement for my broken cliq.
[G1 General] Keylogger_0:
Mind telling me how, or pointing me on to a "how-to" for locking my market? I have the Market v3.1.5

I didn't update it, it just auto-updated and it's slow as hell.
[G1 General] Maxamillion:
All u have to do is go to settings->applications>manage applications> choose market> then choose uninstall updates then it'll uninstall the update to 3.x and it'll go back to whatever version it was before it auto updated. Then, download and install titanium backup from the market and uninstall market updater. And ur all good!
[G1 General] Keylogger_0:
Alright thanks for the info!
[G1 General] Maxamillion:
Ok, so one more question, overall froyo by laszlo is really fast? Can you tell me your performance settings and your setup that u used to have so much battery life? You haven't had any problems with it? I think I might try it out.
[G1 General] phin586:
Well as stated. Froyobylaszlo did slow down. quite a bit. I took some major precautions and just couldnt get it to keep up.

Actually currently giving Super E a spin. Lots of good reviews and being the luck i had with a previous eclair rom, i'll give it a go. :)
[G1 General] askrulous:
I tried to relieve the dullness of fbl with go launcher and it blew a gasket - off exploring various gingerbread roms after realising speed isn't everything...

appologize...I was so anxious to get a G2 Gingerbread update, but after the 2.3.4 update from T-Mobile, I was TOTALLY turned off. The GPS Did not work, and Speakerphone A2DP for Navigation and music crapped out along with many of my apps as well. I worked with TMO but no joy... I did the (pretty hairy) downgrade an reinstall of Froyo, and all is well again......... EXCEPT the Damned "System Update Available" keeps nagging to install. Is there any way I can have this stop trying to get installed and have it not keep getting in my face ?

Wanted it and had to wait till this month to get the OTA, now it won't get outa my face..... Can't win man!

[Kindle Fire General] fenguinpower:
kindly need help if the lower price of this is worth it?
[Kindle Fire General] rushless:
If you do not mind relying on Amazons storage cloud and the Amazon store front for everything, the $200 is a good price. Catch is you need to be around wifi most of the time for practical use of the device.

The Nook is more flexible and not cloud reliance, but $50 more and slower device (most would not notice this unless playing higher encoded video or Flash).

Seems if you do not mind paying a "little" more, the $300 Flyer is the best bet:

1. 8gb more storage

2. card slot for more storage

3. 512mb more ram

4. Based on the Droid 3 and Archos 90 (both same chipset and ram as Fire), the Flyer is a lot faster.

Still, if you are cool with the cloud and an Apple-like iTunes captive environment, the Fire is ok for $200.
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
lenovo A1 is

199$ for 2 gb

250$ for 16 gb.

single cor 1 ghz processor (I believe it's a little faster than nook)

runs full android 2.3 (if it catches on, there will probably be an ICS rom available)

two cameras (front and back)

7 hour bat life for browsing.

GPS (doesn't need data)

Expandable storage (no relying on cloud)

I'm still hard pressed to buy a kindle 8gb with no options is a really steep gamble.. Not having wifi in a car ride/whatever else means if you have a long trip, you have no storage..

More full featured than nook at same price..
[Kindle Fire General] mikecyber:
A rooted android phone solves this, right?
[Kindle Fire General] epakrat75:
To access cloud storage yes. For many Android phones, you don't even have to be rooted to tether. I personally like the dual boot nature of the NC. Don't need to even root it to run CM on it.
[Kindle Fire General] po96od:
Maybe, but not necessarily. My Kindle 3 can only access infrastructure wifi and is NOT able to use my phone's ad-hoc wifi network. The same was true of my fire sale HP Touchpad, which I resold for that reason.

I very much hope the Kindle Fire can use ad-hoc wifi; if not, I'll be returning it pretty quickly.
[Kindle Fire General] andybess22:
Sorry dont mean to hijack this thread I just had one question. The HP touchpad cant connect to a phones wireless teather signal? If that's true I may have to wait for the kindle fire to see if that can. I was just about to buy a touchpad. Thank you!
[Kindle Fire General] tatuk:
Gents,

as far as I remember Android 2.2+ has a tethering option in Settings, that means:

1. U don't need rooting

2. U obtain a real access point (not ad-hoc!) to connect any wi-fi device.
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
Not to rain on the parade, but some carriers will charge you if they catch you tethering..

Also, after playing with the flyer, I can honestly say if you want a serious tablet, it is the way to go.
[Kindle Fire General] po96od:
It's quite true. Someone did eventually find a workaround, but it's pretty labor intensive and is limited to creating an open, unencrypted network, not so good for use in public places.

Using the Wifi hotspot on the vast majority of phones does require either rooting or paying your carrier a monthly fee to unlock the feature.

Iirc from when I researched this a few months ago, the network type (ad hoc vs. infrastructure) varied from phone to phone. People with different phones reported different results on the Touchpad forum I was frequenting at the time.
[Kindle Fire General] RussianMenace:
Newer versions of Android WiFi tether for Root users will create an infrastructure AP instead of ad-hoc, however, not all phones are supported. Definitely works on the EVO and the DInc, not sure about others.
[Kindle Fire General] jerrykur:
I think the question is more what ecosystem do you like. The Fire is designed to lock you to the Amazon ecosystem, like the iPad is to Apple's, and the Nook Color to B&N's.

The Amazon ecosystem has Prime which has a great collection of free movies and TV shows with a Prime membership ($80). Amazon also has some free apps and their Market is growing day by day. The NC has a smaller but good market, but lacks in the area of media.

This all assumes you do not need to root your device and add an third party ROM. The NC is proven quantity in the area with CM7 and other ROMS. The Fire is unknown, it may never be rooted, or like the Transformer rooted for a while, and then locked. But, rooting comes with a lot of extra maintenance on the end user. When it is rooted, I really do not know week to week which features are going to work on my NC.
[Kindle Fire General] kevin_405:
If u keep trying to upgrade ur rom then u are not using ur device as a tablet.. u are testing roms..

I have loaded a stable cm7 release for past 3 months and have never felt the need to upgrade. The rooted CM7 rom is far superior to the original BN rom due to its support of overclocking, without which NC is too laggy and frustrating to use.
[Kindle Fire General] felipefill:
between the kindle and the nook I don't think there's much to think... Kindle all the way!

even tho it "locks" you to amazon, I'd rather be locked to Amazon than to B&N...

and you can always install a custom rom and get rid of the fire's rom
[Kindle Fire General] skeeterpro:
You are presuming the AF will be "rootable" allowing for a custom ROM. That is a bit premature. I would be more than surprised if Amazon didn't learn from B&N and devise a method of thwarting any attempt to root the AF and locking out Amazon.

"Locked In"/"Locked Out" = no choices
[Kindle Fire General] zanderman112:
Lets put it this way:

Kindle Fire Pros: Superior hardware

Kindle Fire cons: "locked" to amazon, no SD slot, possibility of no dev support(at time of post)

Nook Color Pros: SD slot, active development.

Nook Color cons: Inferior hardware

That about right? I want a Fire, but can't jump on without root/roms available.
[Kindle Fire General] Snow_fox:
Since my girlfriend has a nook, I am just going to throw this out there right now.

We put CM7 on it, and she isn't looking back to the stock software.

After seeing what all amazon prime has to offer, and the fact that I get a free app a day from Amazon.. I will say that I personally think it is leaps and bounds better than the B&N market.

For 80$ a year.. Amazon Prime offers a *lot* and I don't want to be stuck in their ecosystem, but honestly.. they at least make it worth it.

If your not objecting to spending a little more money than a nook, but a lot less than an ipad.. The htc flyer (as another user has suggested multiple times) is a sexy piece of kit.

Nook is very nice with CM7, but the CM7 for nook isn't nearly as polished as it is for my captivate. I do understand there are good reasons for that fact, but it doesn't change the fact that it is over all less polished than the phone version.

I am not trying to push the flyer just to push the flyer, but honestly.. if you want a tablet.. don't screw yourself and get a product your unhappy with. Get a tablet from the beginning and be done with it. I know we are modders here and the "we can make it work" mentality is very present. I am also aware amazon isn't going to actively try to stop devs from rooting or roming the fire.. However, It still doesn't have much internal memory, or even the ability to expand the memory. It is just flat our problematic for serious use, even with drop box and amazon cloud, because now your literally anchored to wifi spots.

I would be really weary of the nook honestly. It is 50$ more than the kindle fire, the B&N ecosystem needs some serious overhauling in terms of whats offered, and even the CM7 as nice as it is, really doesn't compare to the htc flyer stock.
