I liked mikfroyo with netarchy SBC havs aggressive kernel. But I needed my wii remote so I've become sensless

Sent from my evo 4g
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
Fastest would be Mikfroyo
[EVO 4G General] BigPapaBang:
I've tried mikfroyo and koni's elite. I'm more partial to koni's because of the theming. It boils down to personal preference of course but the cool thing about already being rooted is that flashing roms is so easy now that you can just about try them all to find out which one best suits you. I'm beta testing koni's elite series II that i just flashed this morning and so far everything is both fast and smooth.
[EVO 4G General] coiledwire:
Warm RLS5 is an "older" ROM (if January is old), so you'll have to perform some tweaks yourself (like SD card speed). Almost every aspect of Sense has been "warmed".

MikFroYo 4.5 is quicker (IMHO). Has the latest speed tweaks cooked in (heap size, SD, etc). Similar to Warm, Sense is heavily themed. For whatever reason, this ROM isn't the most stable on my phone.

Azrael X 4.0 is also quick, but very stable as well. Sense is lightly themed compared to the ROMs above. I keep coming back to this ROM due to its stability with my setup.

If you go with any of the 3 above, you'll need to flash a kernel that allows overclocking. I run netarchy, but it'll be trial and error to find the one that works for you. Check out the development section and read about the different ROMs and Kernels. Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] NYCguy2020:
Babiboi manila carbon fiber or mikfroyo...you can't go wrong with either one.both are fast,stable and smooth as butter.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Myn's Warm Two Point Two is amazing and beautiful. Just apply the SD Card Tweak to make it read faster from SD card and watch it fly. If you prefer a fast but relatively stock Sense ROM, minus the bloat, I recommend Sprint Lover's.
[EVO 4G General] THunDA:
I bounce back and forth between these roms..

Mik,Cal,Azrael and CM..

Currently im using Zone's Mik 4.5 Pure version and im loving it.

There is NO best rom, only the one that suits your needs and visual liking. Most of the popular ones are stable for everyday use. (at least for my usage)

I also use ADW EX as my launcher and things seem to be much more snappier.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
Not to get off topic, but do you happen to know where I can find this tweak?

Sent from my CM7 Supersonic 4G
[EVO 4G General] Rivertamer:
I am currently using koni's elite 1...works great.....looks great....very fast......

Beta testing Elite 2......even faster....looks great.....will probably stick with koni's roms.

But you can't go wrong with myns rls5.......used it since it came out.....but koni's is a bit faster and themed to my liking......tough choice but you can't go wrong with koni's elite or myns rls5...try them both...that is what this hobby is all about...lol

Swyped from my KONI ELITE EVO 4G SUPERSONIC!
[EVO 4G General] MizzouBrent:
I've tried a few, but I like MikFroyo 4.5's speed, but I'm not crazy about the look. I am really liking EvoKings Ultimate FroYo right now...it's built off MikFroyo so it's plenty quick, but the theming is better. I want to try Koni's probably at some point, but it looks awfully similar to EvoKings. I haven't had any issues with any of them.
[EVO 4G General] madflasher:
aamikam- mikfroyo (V4.5) ROMS has taking optimizing sense based ROMS to another level read up on it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11190976&posted=1#post11190976

many other mod/themers base their roms off MIKS stock ROM. ...koni, kings, avafroyo, babiboy, dark cocoa to name a few. find the right kernel/rom combo they are all over-clockable.

MIK's rom has a lot of mods you can add if you like that with aps2sd a net kernel. i dont even over-clock and that thing flies also stellar battery life. all depends on what you are looking to use or have in a rom.
[EVO 4G General] MsRandall:
I like Sprint lovers...it is my go back to rom....
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I'm surprised no one mentioned King's Ultra. It's been just about perfect, and the theming is beautiful, akin to Koni's. I loved Koni's Elite 1, but I had terrrible battery life with it, using several different kernels.

Actually, my battery life pretty much sucks with every set up.

As soon as there's a HTC People mod for CM7, if there ever is, I'm probably gonna go that route.
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
i disagree that sense slows down the phone. that may be true of benchmarks, but not my real world use. the only non sense rom that i liked was MIUI. I use Warm 2.2, mikfroyo blows in my opinion.
[EVO 4G General] masbirdies:
I'll second that...

Used Myns a couple of months ago. Liked it but didn't like some of the fonts. Went to Azrael. Was dececent.

Tried Elite I and now Elite II beta....SOLD! Best rom ever. Very fast. The first rom that I could run LP Plus and not end up with a laggy mess.

Great rom!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] viper2097:
Hello!

I'm using Rafdroid HD von my HD2 now for 2 weeks and I'm verry happy with it, i just have one problem (dont know if it depends on de android build or on the hd2 or whatever...)

I'm using gsm all the time because it has less battery drain in stand by, but when i want to use data for surfing etc. i switch to wcdma. on my x8 wich i had before this was no problem, it switched within seconds between the networks. Also the HD2, BUT it doenst start a data connection. i just can talk but no data.

in "wireless and network" the option for wireless data is checked, but the whole option is not clickable and it says "starting" (dont know if it says starting, i use the german version, there it say "einschalten..."

when i restart the hd2 then the data connection is working. so all times when i want to switch the data connection i need to restart my hd2.

is there a way to solve this problem?

sorry, i've searched the forum, but i haven't found anything

thanks and best regards, chris

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coldest~~~:
tried this yet??

enter: *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer

go to phone info

go all the way down

now you can manually switch between edge or 3G

(default should be WCDMA preferred)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] viper2097:
Thank you, I've foudn this idea before but it doenst change anything.

I'm using the whole day only gsm/edge, but when i need more data (searching something on google etc.) i would like to switch to 3g. after this, back to wcdma. on my x8 this worked well, on the hd2 it looks like it cant start the data connection when switching between the two types of network...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daheufster:
Same here,

when running runnymede rom from dung my phone switches to WCDMA (in *#*#4636#*#*; because of this I have no data connection 3G or HSDPA. When switching back to GSM only data conncetion (3G or HSDPA) is working but after a while phone switches back to WCDMA preffered.. How to change this into GSM only as default???
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Red Baron 44:
Hi everybody,

I am new to this forum and I have hesitated for a long time before I signed up. The reason for my hesitation: I didn't want to start off crying for help. :o Nevertheless here I am. After about a week of searching this forum and www I thought what the heck. That is the purpose of a forum, to share knowledge.

I am a (German) retiree living for many years in El Salvador, I’m old but because of my curiosity I feel quite comfortable with modern technology. I have installed and configured Garmin Mobile XT (which I found :D on the web while looking for answers) and it works perfectly. :cool:

I just got a Samsung SGH-i637, non-touch-screen, in the US known as Jack (internet wisdom) and distributed by AT&T and with a specific keyboard layout (AT&T button).

I want to use voice commands.

Every lead I found refers to that particular AT&T button to activate voice commands.

Because my phone is not from AT&T, it does not have this button. It has the Windows Live Messenger button instead which, surprise surprise, takes me to Windows Live Messenger.

Some people said to look in Start-Settings-System. No such thing in my phone either. (or is it hidden?)

Just as I have surfed the net for days I have done the same of all the menus in my phone.

Specifications of my Samsung SGH-i637:

OS: Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard CE OS 5.2.20293 (Build 20293.1.3.10)

Radio Version: i637WMIH1

RIL Version: 2.002

How to activate Voice Commands?

Now my questions:

How to access that option?

Does WIN Mobile 6.1 support that option?

Do I have to upgrade to WIN Mobile 6.5?

Is an upgrade recommended? (Pros/Cons)

I really hope that some merciful soul can take this burden off my shoulders before my days run out ;).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] delire1:
I've used WP7 for a couple weeks, but somehow the touchscreen stopped working.

So, I decided to restore stock rom and go to service center.

However, it cannot be connected to the computer.

I went to USB Flasher mode, and then connected USB cable to computer and run RUU as administrator, but it shows "ERROR(264): connection."

I am using MAGLDR v1.12.

I really need to restore stock rom asap. Could please somebody help me?

Also, I've heard I need to install original SPL. Where can I find that?

I've never sim unlocked a phone before, is it possible to unlock the Atrix so I can use it on T-Mobiles edge network?
[Atrix 4G General] hagalah:
Everything is possible. But not this time.

Wait until the official Root procedure be published first. Then it may be a way to unlock the phone.

Or if you are lucky enough, then you may get the unlock code directly from AT&T.
[Atrix 4G General] Arcadia310:
Would they really give me the unlock code?

[Xoom General] ogar1978:
Was the first art local store in reading Pa. Associate said they would call when they arrived to set a time to come in and pick it up. They said they would install a screen protector and have everything ready ahead of time if I know what I want when they call.

Hope everyone else has a smooth visit this morning.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Do you have to pay in full?
[Xoom General] ogar1978:
No just 50.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
My question is, how do we purchase it for 800, the advertised price? If you can't, isn't that false advertising?
[Xoom General] ogar1978:
When I go in on Thursday I will pay750 for the tablet since I already put 50 down. I do not have to purchaseanytbing else unless I want to use verizon wireless or purchase accessories.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Something to keep in mind with this pre-order deal.

Most credit cards offer some kind of warranty. My american express for instance extends the manufacturers warranty by 1 year, the first three months is protected by theft and accidental damage protection insurance.

The catch? The entire purchase must be made on the card. So if you put $50 down as a pre-order, and they give you a gift card, and you return to purchase it using the gift card, essentially you are only putting $750 of the $800 on your card and thus the extended warranty / damage protection aren't eligible.

I've used the 90 days damage protection and the extended warranty. They issued a full refund to my card both times.

Just something else to consider with the pre-order deal.
[Xoom General] voteccow:
Just preordered one over at the Rockaway, NJ location, smooth as butter. No issues, very straight forward. I was the 2nd person to preorder one. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
[Xoom General] ogar1978:
The pre order money is put on a gift card and does not need to be used at time of purchase.

I was hoping the free trade program was in place still but it expires before the launch.

At 100 dollars I believe selling it myself will net me dramatically more. I expect to get less for the convienence however find charging me for the option is a joke.
[Xoom General] eaglecomm:
I was hoping our local stores would have some kind of model in stock to show off.. I was dissapointed. :(
[Xoom General] SFBPro:
I went to the Montgomery, Al store. I was the first one there to pre-order. I walked over to the mobile department and asked to pre-order the Xoom. The saleswoman asked for my phone number to call me when it comes out. She charged my $50 for the gift card and asked me what time I wanted to set up an appointment. I told her and then asked if my 10% off coupon would work (it said "No contract phones"). She said "Yes, it shouldn't be a problem. If not, I will do something, it is only 10%". So I took my receipt and left. 4-5 min. total.
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
What 10% coupon is this? I asked if they would match Costco if they are indeed $100 cheaper, they said they should be able to.

I was planning on using my AMEX card too for the extended warranty - Have to see if I can just trade someone $50 bucks for the giftcard.
[Xoom General] setite:
I would like to know about this coupon too. I just preordered at Best in the West Best Buy in Las Vegas.. Store 122 I think. I plan to buy from Costco if I can, but I wanted to hedge my bets. I can always use the giftcard towards a case and dock. I want the speaker dock, but I don't think I can justify 130$ total, technically 80$ just for speakers.

Interestingly.. the spelling errors went to print.
[Xoom General] varungandhi:
are you guys buying wifi model or 3g?

i wanted to get just the wi-fi version for $600 and i just called told by someone at the best buy that there is no wi-fi only very version. according to them i would have to spend 800 bucks on it. is this true?

Oh sorry, I should have mentioned: I am a BB Reward Zone Silver Member. They send out coupons every once in a while. Mine is good during the launch date. (Actually I think it is good until the 24th :D )
[Xoom General] setite:
Oh okay. Most of BB's stuff is way overpriced, so I am not willing to spend the kind of money to become a silver member. I guess it's good they give you something for paying their prices :)
[Xoom General] SFBPro:
Yeah I agree, I don't usually buy that much from them anymore... just big stuff that you can't really get cheap anywhere else (i.e. MacBook Pro). It also helps when you have known the managers at the stores for 5-9 years. They generally help make things reasonable for their loyal customers. However, I still think the Xoom is overpriced, but the 10% makes it more tolerable. Did anyone notice any accessories in stock at their BB?
[Xoom General] setite:
I didn't see any accessories in stock. But I have never seen accessories in stock for a device prior to release. Hell, for the EVO I recall they barely had anything in stock on release day. Based on the preorder form, I imagine they are going to have the portfolio case SKU 2103374 and the Standard Dock SKU 2129336 at release. 4 more days.. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
[Xoom General] morbos:
It didn't make sense, but when I stopped in to pre-order at the Jacksonville, FL Airport Best Buy, I was told by the associate that my final price would be $600 or $800 depending on CONTRACT.

Did carrier subsidies start on non-phone devices for contracts? It that the debacle about activation and reactivation?

I suppose, with something like device + activation being $635, plus $20x12, $240. I would still eat a $40 charge on subsidy for a larger up-front discount, for the crap plan.

Activating that, and tethering to my Incredible. Otherwise PlayOn/Netflix will break the bank.

I guess he could have read enough to know the price for the wifi version, and just spouted that off as well.

The fine print on their Buy Back promotion being free another week, which I just caught after suggesting it to people, just because it's free, says at the Best Buy Mobile stores, for applying it to tablets. So, if you really want $400 back in six months, or the option in case resale goes down in a flooded market, buy at a Best Buy Mobile.

Now to wait for Thursday!
[Xoom General] setite:
You must be careful. The first person I talked to spewed general information because they thought the XOOM was a phone.

I have some questions.. I'm from Montreal (Canada) and I can't wait a X date for the Xoom in Canada. I'm near Plattsburgh and him BB store but when I called this afternoon, the person can't said to me if I can make a pre order, even if I'm from Montreal. It's the same thing for the activation...

I'm lost.. and i really want one.

I'm ready to go to the BB Store tomorrow of thuesday to make the pre-order.

What do you think ?

Thanks.

I also pre-ordered a XOOM today in Long Beach CA Best Buy. I too have the coupons for premier silver members. I think its a 12% coupon though :-)
[Xoom General] tlkid064:
I worked at Best Buy Mobile up until about a month ago. I went back to visit some of my friends today and they told me that (as far as they know right now) they will not have to run each Xoom through their activation system. This means that they can't require you to pay Verizon's activation and data fees in store. If there is a software lock put on the Xoom by Moto/Vzn, hopefully we'll have root access quickly and can bypass it. If you guys have any more questions, let me know and I'll try to answer them :)
[Xoom General] SFBPro:
Thank you for saying that... you made me check my wallet to see if I was smart enough to bring my 12% coupon. Low and behold "no-contract phones"! You saved me another $16 :D Now I can do 12% on the tablet and 10% on the case...

If you pull those up on your phone and show to the cashier they'll take them granted that you're a premier member.
[Xoom General] serialtoon:
Even though i am a Premier silver member, i tried that and they were reluctant to take the "digital" coupon. That was until i complained that i spend a good amount of my paycheck there for them to reject a 80$ purchase from me. Just saying.
[Xoom General] burningembers:
Pre-ordered my Xoom today, typical $50's down, get a $50 gift card back, we'll call you when it comes in thing. Said I can pick it up when the store opens on Thursday.

I was surprised this time around, I pre-order a lot of phones/tablets and this is probably one of the first times they actually knew what I was talking about. The last couple times they actually had to ask 1-2 other people and/or look it up in the computer to figure out what I was talking about (sigh).

Can't wait!
[Xoom General] SamuriHL:
Hmmm, I didn't even think to try my premiere coupons. Nice! I'll definitely bring mine with me on Thursday, as well. I was apparently the second one in the store yesterday morning to pre-order. Considering I was there about 10 minutes after they opened, whoever was ahead of me had to be standing at the door waiting to get in. LOL!
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
I'm not a member, but can't they just check quick to verify if you are a member? Otherwise I may give that a try.
[Xoom General] SamuriHL:
Yea, we have special member cards. But we're also in the system and they can look you up by phone number. IOW, I'm pretty non-members won't be able to use these but you can always try. "Uh, sir, you're not a member." "ohhhh, right, yea, I forgot. My bad." :D

So thats good news.

Pre-Order

So I pre-ordered a xoom over the phone on Sunday and the BB rep told me that I would not need any sort of data activiation for the xoom. I would be able to buy it just for the Wifi like the SGT.

I hope this is the case.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Anybody who is non-member willing to try this coupon?

If so please report back as soon as any time on thursday or just as soon as you walk out of the door :D

YMMV, but my BB rep made sure I understood that to even get WiFi working I needed to pay for at least 1 month of data, but could cancel thereafter.
