[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTF?:
CM7 is quite buggy, I got tired of issues with GPS, wifi-calling, etc. and finally switched over to Virtuous ROMs and all of the glitches went away, they have a good sense ROM and also a good stock ROM with mild overclocking and bloatware removed called G-lite 1.03

I won't let a CM-based ROM anywhere near my phone, and most ROM's are CM7 based

and yes, all Virtuous ROMs work fine with HTC-Sync and PC communications
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You just gonna bash CM7 in every thread?

OP, I'd never recommend against a ROM. I'd just advocate more for one or the other. I think if you want Sense, you're one of those people who just want Sense, and there are good options out there as far as Virtuous (and others) go. You can always try others and make ROM manager backups to switch between them too.

- As far as the Camera, that's a gripe people have (i'm not a huge camera user). Try MIUI camera, its got a big set of new features and is just an .apk you can add to AOSP ROMs.

- Google Maps lets you cache map data in a certain area. Long press on an area and you can select to download a 10mi radius of the current point. You can do this as many times as you want to cache a whole state if you'd like (it'll just take up a lot of storage room).

- I'm not sure about int'l keyboards... you'll have to look into that one. You'll probably have to install a language pack.

DON'T install a RUU or shipped ROM. that will unroot your device. You need to install a custom pre-rooted ROM, most people who want Sense like to use Virtuous. I'd also look at a few of the other options. Like I said above, you can switch around till you find what you want.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTF?:
Yes, buggy ROMs get on my nerves, this isn't 2 weeks after the G2 was released to the public, it's more like a year or more, and a ROM ought to be mature by then, and at least do the basics without glitches. (camera, wifi calling, GPS, reception, etc.)

I am very appreciative of great work, but just like with cell phones themselves, I have no tolerance for crappy quality control (this is why I own HTC phones and not some Motorola POS)

No one ever accused me of being politically correct :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad505:
There are fixes for the "problems" that you seem to find in cm7. Changing your radio will fix ur gps, improve your signal and battery life (I get about 24 hours on a single charge). Wifi calling works fine for me, has since cm7rc1 was out. My camera is amazing, I use it to capture important moments with my children everyday (stock, miui, paper, 360, funpro... these cameras all work flawlessly for me).

I guess the problems you have are with your setup, and since your defeatist attitude has you at a brick wall, it's obvious you'll never get anywhere in the android community. If cm7 was SO buggy, why would me, my wife, my brother, my mom, 3 of my co-workers, and thousands of people around the world (all on g2/dz's) be so satisfied?

Maybe I'm biased cuz I've loved cyanogen since cm4.0.4 on the g1. I learned a lot with it back then, and I apply that knowledge when rooting/flashing/optimizing mine or anyone else's phone today. I bet you'd have complained to no end that you couldn't get a2sd working on cm4.0.4. You just need to ask politely and not troll. The answers are there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hope2u:
Thank you martonikaj,

I'll give Virtuous Unity a try.

I've also now found the modified Google Maps apps that enables caching to SD card have been posted by brut.all here and stan230 here. Any recommendation as to which of these is the best?

I'll also give the MIUI camera app a try, or possibly buy Camera ZOOM FX.

Most helpful, thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I wasn't aware you needed a modified Google Maps app? The stock one allows me to cache map data to my SDcard... I'm working on the latest GAPPS package , and I think Google Maps has been OTA updated probably once or twice since then.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You don't need a modded Google Maps to cache to SD. Its a standard feature of Maps. In Maps, just go to Menu>More>Labs, and activate "Pre-cache map area". Then when you long press on the map, the address will popup, click on the address, and you will see the option to cache the map area.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadow-Nexus:
Try using the rom ILWT cm7 it has a built in oc daemin so it saves battery and you have the latest features since he updates every important nightlie

So you should give it a try!

Stewie just said that!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antinerd:
GPS software with maps on card

If you are serious about GPS navigation, and you want to carry full maps and have lots of memory card space to spare, you can buy an app like Sygic GPS ( http://www.sygic.com/en/android ). Then you can use whatever roms you want.

There are other apps out there that do the same thing, but this is what I used to run, and I had no issues with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ryansylar:
Hi everyone, I am using the deodexed stock rom JV5 2.3.3 for my Galaxy S1, I got a question on theme flashing.

Besides the theme for rom 2.3.3, can I also install others such as 2.3.4 JVQ JVT or the previous versions?

And, I am using the SPB shell 3D, will this or other launchers crash the themes I gonna install? If yes, can I resolve this by changing back to the default launcher?

Lastly, I always do a backup in CWM recovery, but does it secure the errors in framework-res too? If not, what should I do further?

Last but not least, forgive my bad in english and thank you very much for your help!!!!

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fuss132:
Thanks

I´ve added a Poll which Apps we should use, please vote and/or suggest new ones.

Should the Rom be in Ice Cream Sandwich style or in pure Speed style? What do you want?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
ICS source for theme is already available on android sdk

Just download it and copy images to our frameworks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kartiksrireddy:
count me in as a tester too :)

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

ur idea is really nice. But i think its better if all u developers work together and manage to solve the SOD issues with our kernel and design some stable and awesome kernels first. it wud be a great help and a strong foundation for the future of our phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yamchirobe:
Count me in as dev if it has anything to do with ics.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yamchirobe:
I feel it would be difficult to port it as of today,lets wait for a gb port of the theme.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
I think it is a good idea for waiting for someone to port themes or a ROM of ICS

Each image files inside are different and at different locations and also i havent seen the full interface because i havent downloaded the sdk 14 for ICS

will download it tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Can anyone post the screenshot of the dialer (phone emulator)

I am trying to port the dialer of ICS but i dont have the SDK 14 ICS so please post the screenshot normal and when a button is pressed

I also will be a tester, I'd like to help you more, but I'm not a dev :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
I think first we should concentrate on performance of rom like for example Darky's Rom. Then we can think about its look or theme...performance should be top priority. Once a best rom is created then our theme creator member can port any theme on it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
That´s the way we should go

falconfy118 is now working on building first Main "Rom"

-------

Status update
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
I think most of the features are achievable except usb otg & tv out. If we go deeper then usb otg is also achievable with a very high level of kernal coding but due to changed hardware connection its not possible to get tv out [info by codeworkx].

So keep these two things for lowest priority because it need to developed saperately with lots of patience & kernal developers who are interested in it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Ok

I'm now editing juwes RAM script so that it fits perfect To our ROM

Some ideas how to increas speed of the rom without editing Kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
put some scripts in it......

but editing kernel is best way!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
I have made the dialer with the images of dialpad ICS but not complete

it is transparent

suggestions please :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falconfy118:
I found ICS System Sounds (Notifications, ui, ringtones, etc.) ready to put in our ROM as part as the full theme...

@vivek you can see there http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310925 for the theme, it's an excellent CM7 theme, and you can put from it necessary icons :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:

I think u should remove vlingo app. Its really in beta stage. It doesnt recognise our commands. I tried it for 1 hour. But hardly identified my any command. Its really very bad app. Sory to say but Iphone's siri app is far better than this.

For face recognition the app which I had posted in one of the thread is really good app. I tried many face recognition app. But the app which i had posted I found works really great. Only it fail to recognise in dark place [quite natural].

For launcher I think u should use default twlauncher. It really good, ram & battery efficient launcher.
