i wasn't sure where to post, q&a or developers, but since this is a question i guess i'm in the right spot... so here's my problem, i flashed MIUI 2.3.16 on Samasung Galaxy s2, and it's all fine (exept a little bit laggy), but i noticed that i can customize everything except the font and the dialer, i customize everything through Themes, when i change the dialer or the font it says applied, but it's not... please help
Not sure about other flavours of Miui, but I tried Galnet Miui around a week & a half ago (pretty sure it was 2.3.16 or similar from memory) & themes weren't working at that stage. Not sure if this has been fixed yet & given they basically take China Miui & tweak it/add their bits & pieces to it I imagine China Miui (and probably other flavours of Miui) still have this problem with themes.
Ask in the forum/have a look at the changelog of the specific Miui version you're using to confirm, or ask in the MiuiV4 discussion thread on here (search for it).

According to the GM 2.3.23 changelog (it says ICS I9000 changes, but I'd be surprised if they haven't made the changes to the I9100 version), they seem to have made some improvements so far as themes are concerned.
Maybe check with whichever version of Miui you are using, chances are their 2.3.23 weekly has also had themes fixed. I can't confirm themes are definitely working on GM tho, as I've ditched Miui for CM9 after they decided to use Samsung base and not AOSP as they had done with GB (they've taken the 'easy' route IMHO & their first few ICS builds were crap).

I know there is a dedicated section for themes however I was not sure if I should post a question about themes there or if only themes get posted there - does that make sense
Anyway - I have have just rooted my hero and installed Villain 12 - I was wondering where all the themes are - I can only really see a couple for Villain 12 - to be honest I thought there would be a lot more - or am I totally missing something? Can I use themes from earlier versions of Villain?
Don't use older themes.
There's some at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?96-VillainROM-12-Themes iirc
I saw that my device Xperia S (nozomi) has CM 9.0 and 9.1 under 'stable' category at get dot cm (I'm not allowed links, this is my first post).
Seeing the development forum here, I see CM 9.1 is being worked upon... so does that mean 9.0 is stable & released?
I'm not much aware about CM's release cycle, etc. also couldn't find a question here. If it exists, II'm sorry.
CM9.1 is the latest version for ICS, CM10 is the latest version for JB. The CM9 code base is stable, which means only bugfixes go in there. The CM10 code base is in development, which means new features and bugs can and will be added before release. Also, camera doesn't work on CM10, but it works on CM9.
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
Hello everybody,
To be honest, I haven't been reading the rules recently but I realized from one other topic that asking for ROM recommendation here is the forbidden thing...
Therefore, dear moderator and/or admin, before you pull the trigger and delete or lock this topic, please read this post till the end. Who knows, maybe it survives...
Having in mind that P7500 and P7510 had very limited official distribution of ICS for some reason, majority of users of Tab 10.1 are still at Honeycomb (yours truly as well).
I have definitely decided to make a move and do something about that but I need a bit of a help. A guidance, clarification and simplification of what are my choices.
Is it possible to make a kind of overview of the current Android versions offer for this specific tablet? What I'm aiming at is the short summary of which functions/features are buggy/unavailable under which Android versions. So, I am not asking for recommendation of the particular ROMs, but the version of Android I should pursue.
To summarize: Could you help me select the appropriate version of Android (v4, v4.1 or v4.2) for Tab 10.1 by pointing out what does not work (properly) in them?
Thank you very much for helping!
Bye!
We hear you.I will not delete it or lock it.
But hey look how the... we are moving as we speak incredible

I'm researching this exact question for a frend who just recieved one of these tablets. I'd definitely be interested in seeing something like this. (Actually, it'd be awesome to see a comparo/feature list for Roms for all the individual devices here on xda)
I ABSOLUTELY hate it when developers writes "You tell me" in the Bugs section of the first post of ROM threads. The only way to know if the ROM suitable for me is to try it out, and this is hard for some people who are always pretty busy in their lives. Of course, you can read the posts to find out the bugs, but sometimes that doesn't help much. It would be much easier if the developers just list the bugs in current version of the ROM (these are often told by users), and update the post when the bugs fixed.
Suggest a suitable ROM
Suggest a suitable ROMs, that are available for my TAB 10.1 (WiFi + GSM) in 4.1.1 / 4.1.2/ .......
I really do not understand the abbrv... P4, P4wifi, p4tmo, p4vzw, only for GSM or only for wifi
Now I am using "JellyBeanRom ICS v7 + A1 Kernel V1.8.3 + Voice Call Enable Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM Build 1
Thank you for allowing us to ask such questions

p4 = WiFi + 3G (some call it the international release / global release version of Tab 10.1) aka P7500
p4wifi = WiFi only version aka P7510
p4tmo = T-Mobile version
p4vzw = Verizon Wireless version
Suitable ROMs depends on u mainly... I am using the same ROM as what u are using right now.

I hate that too...but sometimes, not everyone face the same problems/bugs. Not everyone have bugs. Some may have the bug that u have, some may not be having it. Unless the devs themsleves are facing it then it'll be listed. If not, then it should be fixed. But, if u are facing any bugs even when in the OP says there is no bugs, just ask for assistance then. Hence. the "You Tell Me" statement in the bugs section. :good:

CM dropped official support due to kernel stability issues. I remember we were discussing ROMs. 7.2 was, according to CM, the last stable version. Due to all the changes when everything became 4.0, the kernel became unstable on our device. Our devs have created a kernel that is stable enough for daily use, but not stable enough for an official CM. You do have CM9, 10, 10.1, 10.2, and 11 that are stable. CM12 needs work before being recommended for daily use.

Thanks for the information, glad to see that i can still get support for this device. :good:
I'm trying to get general information for the last 2 days, reading especially the Q&A and development sections in the forum . If i understood correct;
* There's a new kernel being developed named as [KERNEL] [3.1.10] as you mentioned in your post. This new kernel seems nearly perfect, it just has these 3 downsides regarding the given information on its own topic:
1) HDMI [post-poned] (Nvm, I don't need it)
2) Fingerprint ROM Libs+Framework [work in progress] (Nvm, I don't need it)
3) Flash [work in progress] (Camera flash? It would be nice, but still not mandatory for me)
So i thought i could try the newest unofficial CM releases based on this new kernel. I checked the most-used ones in the development section for CM11, CM10.1, CM10, CM9. But i learned a very disappointing thing in the posts. If it's true, although bluetooth is operable for data transfer, it is NOT working for voice, meaning that i won't be able to use it in my car. :crying:
Other negatives are not that important, but GSM calls over bluetooth is very necessary for me. Because it's a security issue, as most of all need to use our phones while driving! So i regrettably had to eliminate the CM Roms which use this new kernel for now!
I need a Rom that is stable enough and has a wide hardware support such as necessarily:
1) Calls over bluetooth
2) GPS
3) Wi-fi tethering (USB tethering is not important)
Plus; android version must be new enough to support some of the applications. I found out that i need at least CM10 (Android v4.1) for the applications that i need to install.
At the end i can summarize my choices as follows:
* CM7.2 based Roms: All of them seem very stable, but some of my applications doesn't work on Android 2.3, so negative.
* CM9 based Roms: New kernel or not, Android v4.0 is old for a few of my applications. So, negative.
* CM10 based Roms: "CM10 (JellyBean) for Atrix" from @epinter seems very appropriate for me. It doesn't use the new kernel and Android v4.1 is sufficient (recent enough) for my applications. POSITIVE
* CM10.1 based Roms: "CM 10.1(Android 4.2) for Atrix" from @epinter could be very good, but it uses the new kernel. So, negative.
* CM11 based Roms: "CM 11 ( Android 4.4.4 ) for Atrix (BigPart)" from @Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV would be perfect, but i think it also uses new kernel, as it's indicated that ".BT phone call" is NOT working. So, negative.
* CM12 based Roms: I saw the "Mokee For Atrix 4g (Android L 5.0.2) (preview)", but as you see, it's not an option for me yet. So, negative.
If i didn't misunderstood what i've read till now, the most appropriate Rom seems;
"CM10 (JellyBean) for Atrix, By epinter" for me.

I think it would be better for me to continue on its own Q&A thread, I don't want to ruin this CM7.2 thread anymore.
Please share your opinions, i really need your advises.
EDIT: Oopss, basic kernel on CM10 seems lacking HW acceleration. So, i can't play NFS Most Wanted, Dead Space, Max Payne etc. games properly, right? What about navigation apps like iGo, Sygic, etc?
EDIT: This post was originally in the "CM7 Q&A" section and moved here as a seperate thread. My aim is not to find the "Best Rom ever" etc., i just seek for a Rom that's similar to the current awesome CM7, which fits my needs. I think i could find the best title for this post.
HELLO!
BEFORE we start.... This is not a post to ask what is the best rom, its basically asking what rom is on your phone?
I had a post similar to this on another forum, and people loved it, so its a question for you all.....
What are you running, when I mean running.....I mean Rom, Your Set Up (launcher, kernal etc)m what else makes your mobile special????
Worldwide we all use our phones differently, and this post is just to see what users set up your phone like
Is there a theme you use? a specific game? anything you wish to add :silly:
I'm using OP2 since last year September and running SkyDragon 4.0 (based on OOS 3.0. Beta community build). I have tried almost all roms currently there are in the forum(including Nougat roms), but none of them give me as good as battery life as this SD rom, except PA. However, PA has some bugs I can not live with.
BrokenOs + Boeffla kernel + Nova launcher + Arise Sound System
Official cm13, stock kernel with a few xposed modules. Nothing fancy for me.
Hunter's CM14 + Ben's 4.3 Kernel + Nova Launcher Prime + Substratum theme engine
