[Kindle Fire General] DaveWW00:
I've had my kindle fire rooted and played around with things here and there on it but am ready to make the jump and install a rom on it to get close to the full android functionality i have on my phone. I have read a few of the ROM threads but am having trouble deciding which one to install. I see multiple cm7 ones, multiple ICS ones, etc. I'm having a hard time figuring out the difference on them.

I am looking for the ROM that is the most stable. I mainly use my kindle for watching movies on netflix and google videos while traveling, reading in the kindle app, surfing the web, and playing a game or two here and there.

Recommendations?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] reddragon022:
I'm kind of in the same boat but tried cm7 barebones, modaco custom, hashcode, and miui blaze..I think I have one of the cm7's (with ics theme) on it now since I watch movies from vlc interface (from pc) and movies on my sdcard. I never did use the kindle for kindle cause day one, I rooted it and start putting roms on it :). So i don't know what software to use for books (audio books too).

I love MoDaCo. I prefer the stock look since I already have an Android phone. It's been rock solid.

While I personally use CM9 on mine, I'd have to agree with Lithium. I used Modaco's from from day 1 of purchasing my kindle up until last Friday when I flashed CM9. Its a great, rock solid ROM with just the right number of tweaks.

Plus, if you really want to stray a little further from stock launcher just get ADW or something of the sort.
[Kindle Fire General] YaKillaCJ:
Most Stability and Most Features: CM7 for Kindle Fire (aka standing on the shoulders Giants) Add Volume ControlVolume Control and your good to go.

[Kindle Fire General] DaveWW00:
thanks for the advice everyone. ill give one of these a try.

suggestion to the kindle rom developers out there-

it seems to me that its a tougher to get an idea of the features, problems, etc with some of the rom in the kindle forum (including a few suggested in this thread) than the other ones ive been in (epic 4g primarily). Seems like the first posts for the kindle roms are from when the rom first started and the developers keep describing most of the new features and problems in later posts instead of updating the first post. makes it hard to decide if you want to try the rom if you have to read through 30 pages of posts to get a feel for all the features and issues with the rom. most of the roms i have looked at for my phone had screenshots and long lists of all the features and any ongoing issues with the rom.

thanks!

delete some applications to gain more internal memory, or move your apps to your sd card, also you can flash a new custom rom, check out .sense rom, it has alot more internal memory and its great! Heres the link to the rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445517 hope this helps!
[Thunderbolt General] justavillain:
I had this problem before and no help. Got a new phone and same problem. I am not messing with settings. Just rooted. I had my old phone for almost a year before this problem and now I had this one for about a week and bam at 7pm I had the problem start again. I had not used the phone at all.

I have screen shots if they help.

I called Verizon and they were 0 help as usual.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Well considering you're rooted and calling in with a problem that is not found on unrooted devices, they're not a problem.

When you have a problem with a rooted phone, XDA or the internet ia your friend, not Verizon.
[Thunderbolt General] brandogg:
Probably has something to do with the ROM (or some kind of add-on) you're using. You aren't just rooted.
[Thunderbolt General] justavillain:
this is a new rom than the last one i had that did his. but both are cm7 based.

also vzw said it was fine/normal
[Thunderbolt General] cgkalib2014:
I had sort of the same problem..

I ended up fixing it by flashing a different rasio, for some reason when i flahed an AOSP rom it didn't flash the radio with it.

What radio do you have?
[Thunderbolt General] smtom:
A ROM flash does not impact the radio.

Conversely, if the ROM and/or radio(s) you flash are incompatible, you will get issues.

If you are running a gingerbread ROM, you should be running the gingerbread radios. If running a ROM based on FroYo, same story.

The ROM specifications list should have what radios are needed.
[Thunderbolt General] justavillain:
I am using thundershed v1.2 and the latest radio. Ill flash another one and see
[Thunderbolt General] justavillain:
I tried another Rom this time a sense based one and everything is fine again

I tried an older radio and same deal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stupidpig07:
I just got my View 4G from 1saleaday.com a week ago, and it seems working fine for the first two days, but then it started to reboot by itself randomly, even when I let it idle. So I try the factory reset option, but then it just hang with a red ! in triangle screen. For the record, I didn't get it rooted or installing any custom ROM stuffs.

Then I get into the recovery screen, and it give me the option to wipe data and cache, but both are failed and keep saying can't mount something on E:.

The tablet still able to boot up, which I guess under the fast boot mode, but the random reboot just make it unusable. Not sure it is all related to the HoneyComb update or not, which is the first thing I did when I received my tablet.

Is there any thing I can do to fix it? Or my tablet is a defective unit and I should get it return?

Thanks for any help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stupidpig07:
Tablet send back to seller for a replacement. Hope this solved the problem.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I figured it was about time to ask everyone to show off their case with stickers, their fancy paint mods, cool clips, holsters, docks or whatever you like to use with or mod on or around the use of your DInc2!

Here's what I got.

First my ever so slightly modded dock for using my DInc2 as an alarm clock. All I really did was buy a $5 speaker set off Amazon and cut it so the phone would fit in it.

Then I have my car dock made based on something I saw in the Eris forums way back with hooks to hang it from my ashtray, and a little Sugru to pad the "feet" so it doesn't slide too much when I rally race my Pup around the corners. The rubber bands are to provide traction for the phone so I don't need to build sides for the "dock". This thing works amazing!

Please share ANY gear you love and/or modded to work for you!

DIY Extended Battery TPU case.

I made this case myself after I got the OEM extended battery. It was originally a HTC branded TPU case. I simply carved out the back, which allows the new, larger back door to bump out. I REALLY wish that I did not get white. :(

This was hard. I had a good xacto knife from Utrecht, and probably spent an hour trying to shave and sand it... and i still think it looks crappy. Cutting through TPU is tough. Next time I would be interested to see if I can heat the knife up somehow... but the problem with doing this that if you make a mistake you can trash the case. It's hard to know how heat would affect things. Maybe next time I could try boiling the case to soften it up before cutting. However, that could trash the case, so I don't know if it would work.

So you can do this, but making it look good (and not rough around the edges) is quite difficult. Cutting anything that is not a straight line is really hard.

A 2nd effort I made with a different TPU case resulted in me destroying a case.

However, it works great. This case is now a bumper.

Pics are attached, happy to answer any questions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I think you did a great job with that. I'm inspired to try it myself with an old tpu.

I wonder if a soldering iron would smooth out the edges, or maybe a dremel?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
If I had to guess, the soldering iron would be best. That said, Orbison almost certainly going to char the case.

I would like to try a hot knife, that might actually work really well. Again, a white case is not ideal.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The-Captain:
I have to say I kinda like the dock setup for music, you said you bought the music player off amazon, what did you use to cut it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I cut it with a dremmel type tool. I've made more cuts in it since then to free up more real estate on the screen. I have seen people use Sugru to line the edges for a more custom look, but it's not necessary.

Really, the sound from that thing is quite good especially for the price. You can even take it with you if you put a few AA batteries in it. It folds up to a nice little cube for travel.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The-Captain:
Nice, I am defiantly gonna look into doing this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsmitty83:
I'm a prototype plastic injection mold builder and I trim plastic all day the best way to cut out the back of the case is to use a pencil type grinder dremel etc.. Grind out the back and leave your trim line alittle full then come back with some course grit sandpaper or a file and your lines will be dead smooth.. Just take it slow
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HitMyKush:
Okay so I am not used to samsung infuse 4g, due to the fact that i have a droid x2.. but i rooted my amigos infuse for him, and was going to load cm7 onto it, but for some reason when i put it into the stock cwm[as directed], i could not find the cm7.zip file anywhere, and the only options i had in cwm were clear cache/data, and a few other things, but no options for uploading from the SD card. Any pointers?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] yabbb:
What color is the recovery? If it says Samsung recovery utility at the top and you can't flash a zip other than update, then you most likely have the stock 3e recovery. At that point you'd have to replace the recovery file in the phones system.

[Motorola Droid X2] anthonyl79:
So I had a HTC HD2 that I could merge facebook and phone contacts into 1 contact on my phone. I got the Droid X2 and that feature is not available. Is there a rom or something out there that will fix this. Have multiple of my contacts so annoying.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
That is frustrating, I know. I don't know of anything that will do it for you. I've always had to do it manually. When you see multiples of your contacts, select one of them (one without a picture, usually). Go to edit contact. Once you are there, press the menu key again, and you will see a menu pop up with a "join" option. Press join. You will then see a screen with the contacts that match up with that one. Select the one you want, and it will sync the contacts.

Yes, it's time consuming and annoying, but I haven't found a better way.

FYI: When you flash different roms, be prepared to do it all over again.

Hope this helps!
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
if they're named the same I gotta say I think they merge automatically.

as mentioned above, I had to manually "join" one of them, cause the guy has his FB name reversed last/first, but other than that I think they all did it automatcially.
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
It will merge automatically for the most part. There were a few cases where my contact on phone and Facebook had the same name but I had to merge them manually

CM7 <3
[Motorola Droid X2] anthonyl79:
Thanks for the response. I have tried that per the instruction booklet and there is no "Join" option. I have contacted Verizon about this when I first go the phone and they where stumped as well. Their response was to contact Motorola and see what they say. LAME!! Im thinking about flashing to another rom and see what happens.

[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
So I want to change a few icons. I found the location for the SMS/MMS Icon (ic_launcher_smsmms.png) so i just have to change the name of the icon file that i have to ic_launcher_smsmms.png and then put it in place of the original Icon file. Correct ?

I can't seem to find the one for the video player, there is no ic_launcher_videoplayer.png like i figured there would be. So if someone could help me find the location of that, and the email one and the app drawer launcher icon. I would greatly appreciate it.

So I renamed the icon file that i want to use, to ic_launcher_smsmms.png and tried to move it to the correct directory, but everytime i click paste, it moves it one directory back from the one i want, how do i get it to replace the current png with the new one ?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that's not the name of the icon for the sms/mms app. You'll find that icon in the actual mms.apk.

Video Player would be the same thing, you would find the icon for that in the Video Player.apk.

[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Just use a Launcher if you're not already and long press the icon and hit replace or whatever the option is and look through your phone for the new icon you got. May, not be what you want but it's a not less of a hassle then what you're doing.
[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
That only changes the icons in your home screen. I want them changed all around. I don't care if its a bigger hassle lol if I cared I wouldn't be asking. So can someone tell me what to do.

Sent using my rooted LG Revolution running GingerVolt 2.0
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
If i understand correctly, in order to change the icons, you'd have to edit each individual apk. For instance, if you want to change the icon for facebook you have to edit facebook.apk but if there is an update for it, then you have to edit the apk again.

Thats why im looking into making a theme for adw launcher. That way no matter how many times an app is updated, it will display the themed icon. I chose adw since its the launcher that comes with GingerVolt.
[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
so I was right about how to do it. But like you said I would have to re do it everytime the app gets updated. So your idea on making an adw icon pack. Would that change the icons in the app drawer too. Not just the ones in the launcher and on the homescreen?
