One feature I use a lot on my Atrix is the car dock. I like how the blur music player works with the car dock: Simplified interface, Large buttons, integrated internet radio. I use and appreciate all of these features. I understand some of the limitatons, but this works great for me. I have tried the one redpill rom and liked its stability and speed, but could not adjust to the lack of music player integration in the car dock. Are there other options? I have tried adding the APK from my backup back onto the redpill rom and it will not install. Can I manually add it somehow?
Appreciate any direction, here.
I have loaded a 2.3.4 fruitcake back on my phone for the time being.

Basically Blur apps can only be used on blur based roms. If you're on a CM based rom then no blur apps.
It's an option to install Blur Music during the Nottachtrix install. You'll have to create an account on his forum to get the download, but it's a great ROM.
Thanks for the replies. Sorry for using the wrong forum.
I will look at the other roms

Fast ROM with HTC Apps but removed all HTC Widgets?
MCR r22?!?! you are so ahead of Paul!!! (Paul is only working on r18 just now...)
Sense UI but removed Rosie Launcher?!?!
the reason he removed the sense widgets was because without rosie they cannot and will not work....
I won't be using this but good luck with this ROM. Don't listen to the clown asking to delete this thread, he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. This community should encourage Devs that create new ROMS..
nice ROM....always wanted the additions of HTC like copy paste without all that rosie thing.....

I have cleaned this thread, let's keep the comments on topic.
im on froyo like most people, but i was just wondering how much free space is there in this rom after removing all that fluff?
I like this ROM, I've been using evil's version and I want his batt % in this rom. Anyone know what files have to be moved into the system/framework folder to make it work?
I really like the idea behind this as I use something similiar to this on modaco 22.1. What's important to me though is that i cant use BetterCut with this, I'm not sure why.
Im not expecting you to fix this, just letting other people know. I think this might have something to do with the fact that rosie launcher is gone. Wild guess though.
I feel like I will be and maybe deservedly so slapped for this but can somebody tell me if the "[MOD] [Universal] 02/26/11 CM7 GB Stock Launcher / CM7 GB Mod 3.0" thread also applies to the Atrix?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933517 is what I'm talking about.
If it is determined that I should have been able to find the answer by searching, please PM me the answer and delete the thread. Many thanks in advance.
I do see "Universal" and so I feel like this is a dumb question but I don't want to mess my phone right now as I'm liking CM7 a lot and have been using for a while.
Backup and try it.
It should work

Do you want the stock Gingerbread launcher (launcher2.apk)?
First go here
Then thank the op
Then enjoy the stock Gingerbread launcher with working 3D scroll.
BTW this is the only stock Gingerbread launcher that I have found to actually work with 3D scroll and clear icons. Usually it is off set to the side and has blurry ugly icons.
Thanks a lot. I will give that a try. I guess it looks like the launcher is not so phone dependent just like most other apps?
It fit like a glove. Thanks very much.
New owner of an SG2, which I'm liking so far. Am coming from N1 Cyanogenmod.
At present I've rooted my phone and am running the stock rom with Launcher Pro.
I'm liking a bunch of the features of the stock rom (well trying them out) and am deciding whether I keep the stock rom or move to a custom rom.
I do have a few questions about the stock rom, which I wonder can be answered here:
- With the pull down menu you have the options of wifi, bluetooth etc in the status bar. Is there anyway of changing these options (for example want to remove bluetooth).
- With the dialler, once I make a call it goes into a screen with a bunch of options, like, save contact, etc. Is there anyway of avoiding this screen and going straight to home? (incidentally you are given the option of "voice call". Is this something provided by your network or another service?)
- Autorotate. Is it possible to NOT have it working on the homescreen, but available in your apps?
In relation to custom rom, what do you guys reckon is as close to stock as possible, but with a bit more customisation. I'm guessing a custom rom would be able to deal with most of my queries.
1) majority of roms have that bar modified where you can slide it across and have upto 12 triggers, although you can't really remove them. However with cm7 and miui you can customize that bar to your hearts content.
2) no idea
3) look in the launcher pro settings, you should be able to set it there so it doesn't auto rotate
Give cm7 a try.

Cheers mate. Was using CM7 fine with my N1, guess just wanted to mix it up a bit. There are a bunch of features I do like about the stock rom though.
I'll run it for another week and then may give MIUI a go.
Checkout jkay mods and themes for stock roms in the theme section.
Can do basically what you want Plus more.
Also many launchers (home screens) can set whether to auto rotate. Set it to off in launcher and leave the system auto rotate on.

Thanks, will have a play with the custom themes.
Also, I presume, if I install MIUI or Cyanogenmod, I could still install the Samsung specific apks?

No, you can not install any Samsung apps on CM. (May be you're thinking you like the stock browser so you want to use it on CM, but you can not).

Yes. CM7 and MIUI are build from scratch and doesn't contain anything related to Samsung. So unlike stcok based custom roms, these two roms doesn't support Samsung apps.

Well, the reason you wanted to try is exactly the reason why so many users love GingerMod rom. It has some good apps from Samsung, like the gpu accelerated browser, camera app, fm radio. Rest 95 % is aosp.
So it's pure google experience,no Samsung bloatware, and we can still enjoy some of the real good apps Samsung made.

heh, would love a cyan-samsung bastard child port. If only I had the skills to do that.
Love the ability with Cyan to tweak a whole bunch of settings, but am liking quite a few of the Samsung apps.
Will look into GingerMod as it may be a good compromise.

There is one more reason why i personally like GingerMod.
It is 99% (or 100%) bug free. Infact, i find it more stable than any official firmware.
Hey guys,
I'm still trying to get my SGS2 figured out... I've got it set up with GoLauncher and GoLocker and I love the look and setup etc but I would love to know what ROM people suggest.. I've read all the guides on how to flash custom ROMs, what apps can be frozen etc etc. but I don't know which ROM to go with because I'm not sure if they will change the look and feel of the phone.. This is what I want the ROM to do:
- I want to keep the current look and setout of apps/home screen etc
- Something quick and easy on the battery
- To be able to get rid of all the apps I don't use
I only really use SMS, Phone, Email, Camera, Facebook and Shazam. Nothing complicated really
Thanks in advance for your suggestions! Any advice is appreciated.
Oh boy, it's going to be fun on these forums today.
I use MIUI, it's based on CyanogenMod so there is no bloatware, very customizable, very fast and very efficient battery usage with the Android OS battery bug fixed.
Or use CyanogenMod 7 and use your same configuration of GoLauncher and stuff.
CriskeloROM is if you want to have a very customizable Samsung based ROM.
Rooted stock. Yes, I'm serious.

Sorry mate, the best I could find was a thread which highly suggested Villain ROM but the thread was 6 months old, and I wasn't sure if it changes your home screen and everything.

I definitely won't be going for CriskeloROM then
So will MIUI change the whole look of my phone or can I keep my current look? And what's the difference between it and CyanogenMod 7?
Sorry if the questions sound basic to you guys!
Cheers
CriskeloROM is like stock Samsung ROM with extra added features like CRT on, off, ICS animations, etc...if you want Samsung stuff, and your current UI looks, go with CriskeloROM, I used to use it until I switched to MIUI.
MIUI is different from CyanogenMod, because it has a different look and feel with all MIUI's thousand's of themes and you can make your phone so customized with different boot animations, lock screen layouts, etc.
CyanogenMod is stock Android, with nothing on it and you can put any look on it. MIUI has it's own launcher which is part of the entire theming architecture it comes with, which integrates every aspect of the UI with the launcher, lock screen, and other MIUI apps so that one app controls all.
OK I checked out the MIUI website and I don't really want to change the look so I'll rule that out.
Which is fastest out of CyanogenMod and CriskeloROM? I don't care about Samsung apps (assuming phone + sms etc aren't included? I'm guessing you mean the social hub, music hub etc etc, right?)
Try out CyanogenMod out then, its fastest and speediest because it has absolutely no bloatware. Try it out, there's no harm trying

Try checkrom. Its stock based but has an kitchen app with everything you need to customize the rom the way you want..All bloatware are removed and the kitchen is a must....Or try Hyperdroid...Another good rom and the team are great and they give great support...Those are the two roms that i would suggest
I use checkrom and nothing else.
But for you I would suggest you just root your phone with cf root, install titanium backup and use it to freeze or delete the apps you don't want.

I would suggest going through android development threads and looking at the features, screenshots and videos and compare, then root, make a nand backup and flash as many roms as you like until you find the one you want to stay with

Insanity II, it's based on CM7 and it only has the basic features. Superfast and looks like stock Android. Have fun.

Thanks heaps, I just used cf-root and then froze heaps of unused apps with Titanium Backup Pro, and I have saved a lot of RAM in doing so! I read somewhere there is a battery fix you can apply when you've rooted your phone but can't find it now.. Does anyone know what it's called?
And are there any other essentials to install now that I've got the phone rooted? Maybe the SetCPU program? I'm guessing that would save a lot of battery without sacrificing performance too much, right??
Cheers!
Just flash any Samsung based ROM (I like Androidema), flash Chainfire's Kernel for simplicity and you're set.
Hey there.
I've been using the HTC Amaze for a few weeks and I've had an excellent experience rooting it and flashing custom ROMs. However, Sense UI irks me to no end. I'm currently using Speed Rom 4.0 by EclipzeRemix for the AOSP replacements, and the ICS theme by electronicrice.
This ROM uses the default ICS lockscreen as a replacement lockscreen, which works fine except for one thing - when I use Google Play Music the music controls don't come up. It looks like it wants to do something because the wallpaper vanishes when I listen to music as well.
So here are my questions:
1. How would I go about extracting the CM9 lockscreen and making it flashable onto a deodexed ROM like Speed Rom 4.0?
2. How can I make it possible to add the volume button music control functionality?
Until the kernel source is released for the Amaze and CM9 can be developed properly, I would like my Sense UI to have the most AOSP experience as possible. I am a bit new to ROM/Application development for Android like this, although I've made a few themes in the G1 days and programming is not a new thing for me. I've rooted Android more than I can count too, and can say I'm pretty experienced in that field.
Any answers you can give me would be great, however try not to post something like "Use Widget Locker instead," as I would like to learn how to make a flashable add-on like this.
Thanks!
