I have it working on the Droid X². Though the OP states after a few hours it crapped out, so if you give me a few days I will let you know of any problems.
As of right now the only problem is it stretches the widgets across the screen.
I have had it installed for about 6 hrs so far other than that seems ok. I would like to run it a few days to make sure so you don't brick yourself. If interested check back.

We already have the ability to make our screen rotate, with zero issues.
The one in moto-ginger-funk has been patched for rotation as well and it has no issues.
Mine doesnt seem to stretch widgets.
Go launcher ex has a setting for it also
Thanks for testing tho!
Its good to see people experimenting and trying to bring things to us THANKS!

Wait, is this something the stock home CAN'T do?! I haven't seen a Blur launcher on my X2 in months. I use GO Launcher and homescreen rotate is old news to me. My gf's D3 can rotate the stock homescreen, but I know she has fancier Blur than us.
It definitely doesn't rotate when stock.
I am stock 2.3.4 (finally!!) Rooted and no setting for it and doesn't do it.
Wow. D3 got lucky with their Blur
Thanks for this it's working great. Spent the weekend checking out all the roms from this site & eventually went back to my stock, deodexed, manually debloated nandroid cuz I actually kinda like blur (it grows on you, like a rash). But I missed the rotating home from motogingerfunk & this was just what I wanted.
Hey ash, maybe try the stock, deodexed from peperm1nt-thats what I'm running & this works fine for me.

Sorry I missed that line I look over the same things day after day. Just for something to help others. 2.3.4 didn't work well for me though I still skim the same pages just to see what's different. It was my mistake. I am fairly new at this but up for a good brick once in a while to help others. If I could get apk mgr to work right I would be kicking out some cool theming but not a lot of time to learn. Anyhow thanks for the heads up about the one you have I'm going to give it a shot see how much difference there is.

First of all, I wanted to say my CRT off animation is weird on my SII. It seems to flash white before starting. It was much smoother and sexier on my Captivate and even looks better on the DROID 3. It looks weird on mine. I've tried it on both UnNamed and Cog X2, both have that weird thing. Is it just KH7, or is it just something unfixable?
My CRT off animation looks like that too. it looks bad. it started when I flashed cog b4(had it on stock and it looked fine).

Yeah it does look bad. It looks fine on stock? I'll have to look into that. I guess it's something with custom ROMs. It's really sad...
when I say stock I don't mean pure stock. I had it after I flashed the 12 toggle mod and it included it and it looked fine then but after flashing cog I noticed it. If I can help in anyway let me know. Your work with the captivate was great btw

I'm talking to GTG right now. I mentioned this, hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it. Personally I'm not sure what exactly to do...
On another note, he fixed my animation issues (present in his UnNamed ROM and Cog X2) by disabling slowBlur. Ever noticed pressing Menu on the home screen and opening popups like in settings with brightness and volume, that the popups open with an animation that seems to be half missing? He fixed that for me. So I'm hoping he will find this too. The guy really knows his stuff.
Thanks for the compliment! I hope to soon start some projects for the SII!
Some news coming from GTG
However, the CRT animation on dg's rom and on my rom (with the addon) is as good as it's going to get. It just isn't rendered right on the Galaxy S II and no one has figured out why definitively. Whoever told you it works fine on stock just doesn't have a very discerning eye. Read that whole thread I linked you to. The international GSII owners already went through this long ago and accepted that the CRT animation will never be quite right on the SGS2 with Samsung based ROMs. CRT is fine on CM7 though apparently.

This is so weird. Up to this point, my CRT worked wonderfully. So well that it looked native. I saw this thread, so I looked at it again and now mine has the white screen issue (for the first time) .
EDIT - Upon reboot, my CRT returned to normal. One of the lucky ones I guess.
Thought it was my just my phone. It was fine until yesterday...well at least I first noticed it yesterday...all static-barcode looking. But I can say honestly at one point it was definitely smooth because I played with it continuously when I first enabled it because it looked so sweet on my screen.

It isn't a fix, nor does it actually work. It looks better, and that's it. Notice how when you press the power button, the screen turns white then shrinks towards the middle. That's not how the animation should work. It should take the screen, and shrink that towards the center, I assume with a white outline. The problem is the last screenshot taken I guess, or just the buffer/cache somewhere.

Well...er...can confirm that reboot worked for me too!!!
On UnNamed with slowBlur off, a reboot makes it look almost acceptable. Still wrong compared to my Captivate.
Restoring a backup of stock that came with my phone, gonna enable it there and see if that works. Just in case...
On stock firmware which came with the phone, I manually enabled CRT off. It works, but still not correctly. It does not shrink the screen, but a while screen. And has a weird flash in it. Guess that's a nope. It's USABLE but nowhere near perfect.
So I need someones help. I deleted the screen capture apk, and now pressing the key combo just makes the phone vibrate. So somewhere there is a link between that apk and the button combo. Can someone help me find that?
I would help but I have almost no android ( or Linux for that matter) experience. I would love to learn so I can finally start giving back to the community.

So the CRT should be on here completely bone stock? After reading this, I tried and do not get the CRT animation. I checked and all animations is selected. WTF?
For those of you who have used both of these outstanding ROMs on your MoPho, which one do you prefer and why?
Both are great ROMs. I am currently on cm7. I am really liking cm7. Its fast and battery life is outstanding. Downside to cm7 is you do need to edit build.prop to get youtube working. Also have to edit apn to get mms working. Fixes are easy to do though.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
i agree with above. both are great and will wake up your photon like no other. when it was all said and done, i picked CM7 bc thats what i ran on my EVO and was just more comfortable with it. personal preference really. neither will let you down.
I'd personally go with skinnyrev1. But I've been running CM7 for a long time on my evo shift and got bored with it. But if you have never ran CM7 before on any of your devices then its worth a try. But for the photon I'd go with skinnyrev1.

Really? I haven't really seen anything other than the Alpha builds. Everything works? The Evo worked great (minus 4g, but I don't live in a 4g area anyway). I can only imagine how fast it is. My Photon runs only a little faster than my CM7 evo.
Which build are you guys running?
I am loving life on my CM7 ROM. Not a big fan of Motoblur, so wanted to try something new. To be honest though...this is my only ONLY ROM that I have tried so can't offer anything new to the conversation other than I have had few problems from it. On reboot, I get a single phone.apt error that once dismissed, doesn't bother me again. The MMS issue is NOT an issue on mine...I send and receive picturemail daily and have not had any issues with that. I wish the built in buttons for the zoom on the camera app worked, but they don't...yet. Have to use the apps slider to control zoom. The Wifi is qwerky at times. I sometimes have to FORGET a known network, turn off Wifi, turn it back on...then reenter login info's to get a reconnection on a previously working wifi accesspoint that I use...but...just a minor annoyance. Considering it is still technically in alpha...it is very usable and stable...I say go for it!

I havent had any issues with wifi, got work, home, parents home, and two friends houses in college station. 5 networks total. is it the same router that you are experiencing this trouble or is it the same across all routers?
but to anyone that is in question between the two, dont base ur selection off others, its gonna boil down to your preference. its gonna be 50/50 based on reviews. best thing you can do is flash one and play around with it, then make a backup, flash the second one and see if you like it better or not. Still make a backup of the second in case you want to move back again. Thats the great thing about Android, its your choice
since you have it narrowed down between just these two, youre in a good situation. alot better then flashin all day to see what you like the best.

I've been pretty happy with SkinnyRev1 as a daily driver. I'm currently on CM7 testing the new 1.3OC. My phone hates the 1.4 kernels for some reason and on CM7, even with the modfied APN mms is very sketchy. I can send just fine but when I receive a message, that message gets repeated over and over again every couple of hours (sometimes minutes) until I get sick of it and restore my Skinny nandroid.
I've had it happen with several versions of this alpha and cannot seem to get it to stop once it happens. Deleting the thread does nothing, I just get a notification a little later that I have a new message. I've even gone from several of the yay leaked sbfs straight to CM7, skipping skinny altogether and still have the same mms issue
Well I haven't tried skinny rom but cm7 is awesome very stable been my daily driver for about 2 weeks and love it. Very smooth and fast. I had cm7 on evo 4g and needed it on this. it's very customizable (real word?) U can change lockscreen add gestures change overall color and much much more I feel like a spokesman for cm LOL but seriously give it a try u wont b disappointed

If it helps my eventual goal after i finish some other projects would be cm7 with webtop. I might start work on it tonight actually. Ive been with cm since it started on the g1. Once kinks are worked out its definitely preferred. I made skinny because we didnt have any alternatives and my friend likes blur, lol.

Just installed the MIUI Beta and I am LOVING this ROM! My absolute favorite so far. It's smooth, my battery seems to be holding good. No FC's yet. The look and feel is great! Good job devs!
Few questions though. How do I delete individual notifications? No (X) next to then, and I tried to swipe them to delete, but nothing. Also, on the lock screen, if I drag over the camera, it doesnt open the camera, just goes to the home screen.
Other than that it's amazing! Thanks guys!

I just came from CM7. Didn't like it much. Too glitchy and just didn't like the overall look and feel. I had Eclipse before and that was my favorite until now. Just too many issues with CM7
- dock shortcuts would seem time change or dissapear on their own. Like I would boot up and there would be a star where the browser used to be. Or where the app drawer shortcut was. One time I pressed the browser button and ALL of my dock icons dissappeared.
- Widgets sometimes would be invisible. I could long press them where they should have been and it would let me delete them or move them. But they wouldn't show up.
- I had it in my dock and it showed it was plugged in and charging. Had like 95% battery when I plugged in. Woke up to a dead phone. 0% battery. Even if it wasn't charging, it would have made it through the night on 95%
And just some other weird stuff. Just didn't like it much. Sorry. I even tried wiping and reflashing. Still basically the same.
MIUI is running stable so far. And I love the look and feel.

SMH. You should read up more on MIUI, and TRY IT, before you put out your opinions/"assumptions." MIUI was created by Xiaomi Tech, a Chinese firm (dunno wtf you got arabs..), so it's not just some random dev's collaborating, but an actual company putting out the ROM for usage in handsets in Asia that got picked up by the rest of the Android community. And as far as open source, they announced back in February of this year that they were going to begin opensourcing their applications and ROM, which you can see over at their GitHub (google it..).

Thanks thelowend. Yes I have tried Eclipse, and as I said it was my favorite. But MIUI is really cool. I think I like it because its so different. And everything seems so integrated. Like the notifications, I love how It gives a place for a reply right in the notification! That rocks! It just looks and feels more refined.
I am finding a few more bugs. Like Youtube not working, or any streaming video for that matter. Even some of my saved vids on the SD card dont want to play. And I can't record video either. All freeze after about 2 seconds of play/recording.
So far that is the biggest turn-off for me. I use youtube allll the time. Anyone know if they are working on this? I even tried the mobile site, and neither that or the app work.
Eclipse had its glitches too. But both are very good ROMs.
Oh one other glitch that really bugged me from CM7 is gapps kept FC'ing after a while and I would need to un-install and re-install it every so often.

No problem. Video play back was always odd for me on miui; there were certain sites were streaming would work perfectly and then there were ones that just never worked.

I am new X2 flashing but not new to flashing. My X2 is running CM7 and I have a Fascinate that is running AOKP (ICS) build 37. So I'm familiar with flashing. All that said I am looking for a ROM with features like CM7 however that supports HDMI and possibly FM radio. The later is not important. Any suggestions?
Not all ROMs will have everything you want. It has been reported that HDMI works on CM9. But then you're losing a lot of other stuff. Try Eclipse. Its not Cyanogenmod but I think HDMI works with that. If not, you have to stick with stock.

Thanks. I'll check it out!
Note that someone got HDMI working on CM7. Sadly it went largely unnoticed and thus, undocumented. The fix was not at all complicated; all one had to was set the HDMI value located in the build.prop to 1(true) and you had it.
Dont quote me on the latter part - I realized there was one more thing that needed to be done in order to get it working. I do however know that it doesnt work whilst in landscape mode and videos are iffy.
Btw, before you mess with the build.prop, even though Root Explorer (im assuming thats what you're using) will make a backup, make one of your own to be sure.
have a good one!
On cm7 it was portrait only and no sound. And all you had to do was set hdmi=true in the build prop. Although I wouldn't classify that as working

I ended up flashing Eclipse. HDMI works great! I'm running Go Launcher with an ICS theme. I'm getting alot of redraws of the home screen. Not sure if that is an issue with the ROM or Go Launcher. I think I might Supercharge it to see if that helps with the redraws.

Literally every time I hit the home button on Eclipse with ADW, the launcher would reset. I almost threw my phone away!

Supercharger fixed that for me. I've had zero redraws since supercharging.

Just hdmi=true ?
I tried ro.hdmi.enable=true on Cm9 for the sgh.i777 and got a strange result, the 1st image appears then freezes, but if I play videos out music, works flawlessly
Anyone use the HAX launcher with the razr yet, If so...
How does it run with custom roms?
Any personal pros and cons?
I didn't think this post should be in the Q/A thread because I was just trying to see how everyone feels about it with the RAZR and maybe get some tips and tricks out it....
Basically I was thinking about trying it and wanted to see if it was a waste of time.
I've used in on my stock Razr. It force closed every day, so I've gone back to Apex launcher.

Ive used it on Eclipse and Koa Roms. So far I havent had any issues. Im my opinion the only issue is if you have the weather set to display when you get to the main menu it doesnt show as soon as you get there. I takes it a few seconds. Other than that its not to bad.
For some reason once I used it my battery life was horrible. I'm not sure if it was because I was running both the apex launcher and hax but either way I though it was petty cool. Just needs more live titles. Maybe I'll try and make some...
Thanks guys
