To help our DEV's !

If you like Android or your Desire, you will want to try new stuff on you phone, for sake of curiosity :cyclops: . For example, What's it like to type by your voice? or just to experience new UI ;) . or just to keep it up with the world! :D

I used ICS/JB by Nikez/Sandvold a while back, i liked them both for first. But, as you use these ROMs as daily basis, you begin to notice some issues/bugs. Issues depend on individual's use, and differ for people to people. For me, it was Battery backup.

Only Sense/stock ROM's will give you good battery backup. I used to get upto 36-40 hours on Sense 3.5, from average phone/internet/music/maps usage.

In any of the AOSP ICS/JB or CM9/CM10 or MIUI or AOKP/PAC, i never got even 24 hours

CM9/CM10 are good with quick settings widgets in Notification bar and average battery.

Sense/MIUI are All-in-One ROM's. You don't have install extra apps for Torch/Flashlight, FM Radio, Compass, Music, Notes, Voice Recorder, File Explorer. You can try MIUI GB or MIUI / ICS by Marange. You can play with themes in MIUI.

Being a XDA member, "WE" need to install/try news stuffs, and let our DEV's know about new issues/bugs, so that they can fix it for us and we all live happily ever after. :laugh:
[Desire General] impactor:
I do like my Desire but there way too customisation and automisation that goes into my phone, to do it all over again every time I install a new rom. I'm not in high school any more, I have other stuff to do.

As for battery life (which I think is what you meant), I am getting 2.5-4 full days on CM7 kangs. I never used a Sense rom. Not even the original, so I can't compare.

From what I saw, new interface in ICS for me is a step back from GB. It looks just sooo bad, like some early alpha version before people put any real work into GUI.

The only cool thing is this voice typing. But the prospect of not working camera/video recording doesn't make me happy.

I am going to instal MIUI XJ when I get a new SD card, I don't know yet if I'm gonna try something ICS/JB-based. Probably.
[Desire General] Terepin:
OK, now I'm frightened. :eek: This post is disturbing on so many levels. I don't believe we can call this a flashing enthusiasm anymore. This is... I can't even...

Jesus, erklat, in what did you let this place turn into?!
[Desire General] dethrat:
If you're having to ask then you already know the answer.

For you there's no point
[Desire General] klozio:
I use CyanogenMod 7.2.0.1 Stable INT2SD-S by Proz0r, no ICS or JB ROMS are stable like that! In my opinion everyday usage ROM must be stable and have no lags or defects. Hope one day an ICS/JB ROM will reach this goal. GO XDA Dev:good:!
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
I think it has happened. Try this rom:

Me too. This is the best rom i ever used. :good:

My desire was running cyanogenmod 7.2 greatly, but a month ago i tried JB by Evervolv Team and i choose to stay on JB beacuse it's fast and has a lot of cool new features!
[Desire General] zer081:
And a really awesome rom it is.
[Desire General] beeguy123:
That is a good rom indeed. I'm using it.

Additional hint :

I like to use Apex launcher and Swiftkey instead of standard Trebuchet launcher and LatinIME input method. If you like to use your own replacement apps too, you can simple delete the apk's from the zip. Removing trebuchet and LatinIme saves you some 50MB in /system, which is enormous in Desire terms.

Just keep in mind that you can't start up normally without a launcher. I use ADB to push Apex launcher on first boot. Same for Titanium Backup. Then from backup the swiftkey keyboard can be restored. You don't get far without any keyboard installed...
[Desire General] MetinKale38:
I have aroma file manager and a folder called custom with all my pre installed apps. I delete anything from zip and copy the custom folder into the Rom.

It this way you needn't a computer each time to push your apps.

If you have titanium backup pro you could also make a flash able tb zip and a ready to flash zip with your custom apps if you want

Tapatalked with my HTC Desire
[Desire General] impactor:
I have TB Premium but couldn't find that option anywhere. Can you give some basic instructions?
[Desire General] MetinKale38:
Create update zip (above uninstall) under batch backup/restore.

Tapatalked with my HTC Desire
[Desire General] tolisoft:
Every new thing comes with new features and also bunch of new bugs :)

But if you have a time to test any new ROM it will be advantage for you and also for the ROM's team.

At the moment I am running on my mobile 4.2.1 and it is not so bad ...
[Desire General] militiaOfDeath:
Not taking any side in the discussion, but I myself test out some of the nightly builds of Evervolv (JB) for fun, and upon boot I have ~230 MB free RAM. Not as good as with the GB roms (e.g. MildWild), but still not bad.

Is there a way to speed up the play store on our device? It takes me at list a mimute to completely load the play store app..

[Streak 5 General] Vennesch:
Did you do both factory resets and cache wipes (including dalvik) when switching between roms?
[Streak 5 General] chachoi:
Yep yep, i always do that

Whats ur experience? Or is it just my connection?
[Streak 5 General] Vennesch:
Tried to flash the Gapps of theManii? Does it load slowly or does it takes a lot of time and then shows everything right away? Must be your connection I think. Here it is loading within at most 10 seconds. Success!
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's likely your connection. I get the Play Store loaded in about fifteen seconds, at most.
[Streak 5 General] anthmur:
I would say it's your connection to, it takes me around 10 to 15 seconds to load. On wifi you blink and it's loaded.

[LG Optimus Black] djcentet:
In another forum I find a fix for europe, in system/etc has two archives: "gps.conf" and "gps_brcm_conf.xml" if you change with my archives you can connect to GPS satellites.

Download that archives: dl.dropbox.com/u/82170661/gps%20espa%C3%B1a.rar, change the originals and try it.

It's work better if you change before flashing the update: open the .zip enter in system/etc and change then flash in CWM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossg1283:
Hi there. I've had my Galaxy S for nearly 2 years now, foolishly enough, I decided to play around with it. I managed to root it (not sure what firmware I was on, more than likely Froyo) and OC'd the phone, nothing more. After I bricked the phone (no download mode) the next day I managed to get the phone into DL mode and fixed it. However, I think that the SD card (or at least the partition tables or some other kind of information on it) is kaput. The errors I get are as follows:

- Bootlooping, whether it be a fresh flash or a rom i've left it with for a bit

- Turning off unexpectedly and then bootlooping

- Format errors: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (no such file or directory), E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount sdcard your storage not prepared yet, please use ui menu for format and reboot actions.

I've flashed various roms, gingerbread, froyo, stock, custom ics/jellybean roms to see if it changes anything but nothing. I've tried factory resets, hard resets, formatting, and nothing seems to be able to remedy these formatting issues. If there's anything that might be able to fix my phone, I thank you in advance :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jumbobombo:
Heyyy ace ppl

So finally after a year and half I'll get a new phone :D

My first preference is the S3 i9300

It's got a good dev support in Xda and is also the really good phone

IMHO

So I wanted to know whether

Is it a good choice? I don't mind waiting If there's a better phone coming in India recently.

I also heard about the S3 i9303 varient but hasn't released in India yet

Lumia 920 is coming but windows is not my thing

Android ftw :D

So please suggest :)

As i think the nexus 4 is too expensive because its costs extra even with contract, what should i get?

Samsung galaxy.nexus or the lg optimus 4x hd? :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
Nexus 4 is a lot cheaper than the optimus 4x hd & is also much better. If you can't afford 24,000 INR for the 8GB nexus 4 variant, you can go for galaxy nexus. It costs 20,000 INR here on flipkart. But I recommend nexus 4 highly. In case you hate all these & wanna try the optimus 4x hd, then don't ! Spend a bit more & get the s3. But still nexus 4 beats all these...!

For a temporary fix and root access - Superuser > Preferences > Security > Automatic response | Allow

This is NOT ideal nor recommended, only a temp fix for root access until we (ChainsDD/SU devs actually) can figure it all out.

After running your root apps by using 'Allow' - toggle back to 'Prompt' to be on the safe-side.
