Ok guys, as per the title can you please recommend a rom for me to use?
I've been using Cyanogen 6 which performed wonderfully, but I need to use an app which relies on the barcode reader app, so I've had to switch back to the stock 2.1 ROM.
Urgh...
I'd forgotten how poorly the thing performs... I switched back yesterday and I don't know if it is connected but my battery life is rubbish too :/
So, I'm looking for a nice lite rom which will let me use the barcode scanner app. Doesn't really have to have anything else, if it has no market I could flash it from xRecovery I guess and download whatever I need?
TIA!

First, why post something like this in Android Dev section?! You should've posted in Q&A. Perhaps the mods'll be so nice to move this thread.
Second, if you want full functionality (camera, HD recording, ...), you can switch to a speed mod like the one from kxhawins. These mods are based on stock ROM and everything works here.
Besides that, there's an barcode scanner app on the market that works with most of the custom ROMs, but I don't remember the name. You could try the search button, though
Cheers,

Baaaaad sections post your questions in q&a not hear !!!!!
You can use the barcode scanner "scanlife" with custom roms as well, like freex10. That is my personal preference, camera works, barcode scanner works with that app (scanlife), videocamera works with an app called "videocam illusion", and it gets awesome quadrant and linpack scores (1500 and 36 respectively)...
Can't you take a photo with Vignette (working fine on rendeiro's Cyanogen Rom) and import it into a barcode reader ?
Really 2.1 custom Roms despite being waaay better than the stock cannot match 2.2 Roms in performance.
Ah unfortunately the app I'm using leverages 'barcode scanner' app so I can't really use another scanner (tried Scanlife as suggested).
Importing via Vignette isn't really a convenient or speedy option unfortunately.
Think I might have to switch back to a 2.2 rom and work round it, can't stay on stock 2.1 after tasting 2.2 lol

I flashed CM7 latest Kang build. I don't know much about modding in general, but enough to install and update to latest builds.
At any rate, here are my problems (more to come as I remember and encounter):
- Google Maps FCing
- YouVersion Bible apps FCing
- WiFi slow/unable to reconnect after wake
#3 is the most annoying.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
I just tried to open Maps and first try resulted in a FC. 2nd went fine, 3rd FC'd again, but it seems to be working consistently now...odd. WiFi is strong on old stock modem (H7). No other problems with other apps.

I just tried maps three times. Same ROM as you. Didn't FC at all. The only thing that FCs for me is the DSP manager.
So what could be the problem? Is it the app? Or the ROM? What? Wish it would be all buttery smooth with no problems...
I tried using the latest gapps from goo.im/gapps on Munjeni's CM9 rom and was getting boot loops.
I used th gapps-ics-tiny.zip and was able to boot but calendar does not sync. Doesn't even give me the option for calendar under "Accounts and Sync."
Any else having this problem?
Use the Google apps in the Winsuk thread:

They work perfectly.

I got a boot loop on first boot, pulled battery then it booted.

I decided to give it a shot last night. The ROM and gapps in munjeni's thread installed without any issue. I only played with it for about an hour or so, but it was really cool.
Here's hoping the camera and GPS can be worked out soon.
April 13 update
Latest version of menjuni's CM9 working great with a number of fixes:
- GPS working
- Wifi status working
Can't wait to give it a try.

Wallpaper size
I am posting this here because I am not eligible to post on the development site.
I have noticed that all versions of the CM9 ROM have built-in wallpapers that are not properly sized for the Aria. The wallpaper that loads first time it the right size, but once another is loaded, they all appear too big, and you can't go back to the stock ICS wallpaper without reloading the ROM.
Am I missing something?
And please note: I am not complaining. The Aria/CM9 team -- notably WinSuk and Munjeni -- have done a fantastic job and great service for the Aria network.
I decided to give this ICS ROM a try for fun today...after someone mentioned to me that the Captivate and Aria (as old devices) both have ICS.
It seems like it should work fine...for the most part...as an everyday device. As long as you can deal with having no working camera or GPS.
I didn't actually slip my sim card in...since it's not currently my main phone.
Battery?
Hey guys,
Im on winsuks latest cm9. it works great for me except my batter lasts about half the time it lasted with cm7. Does anyone know if munjeni's cm9 is any easier on the battery?
I didn't try WinSuk's ROM yet, I'm running munjeni's ROM as a daily driver. In the build from 27.4., camera and GPS are working; I'm trying now the deodexed built munjeni posted today and see if it works better.

Yes i had the same issue, run "fix permissions" in rom manager, i tried that option in cwm and it did not work. I am back on cm7 because for some reason i wasnt able to receive calls, i was able to make calls, send and receive messages etc...
fix permissions did not help. however I was able to get s2e to work by using superSU from the play store.
Haven't tested out calling/messaging yet
call and messaging send/receiving also seems to work for me.

I got the problem, too. For me the solution was to reinstall the su binary using the update option in the settings menu of superuser.

MMS
is anyone else having problems recieving MMS messages. it shows up with a download button but it is unable to download. Works ok if I use go sms but I would prefer to just use stock
Curious about some of these since most of them don't seem to be documented on the main thread, so I'm not sure if it's something on my end or something not working with the ROM. Any workaround suggestions would be appreciated.
--Built-in video camera app doesn't work (documented).
--Video playback doesn't work correctly. Audio is fine, video lags. Eventually audio stops to resync with laggy video. Happens with video files recorded before installing the ROM, which used to play fine on stock GB, as well as tested with video files dumped from my PC. Tried Gallery's player, MX player, and Rock player.
--Chrome crashes frequently (most notably when hitting the tabs button).
--Twitch.tv app plays audio with a black screen (youtube and other things work fine).
--Hardware buttons don't light up.
--Voice Search doesn't work.
--Google Books crashes immediately (documented). (seems to be fixed as of 8-23B)
--Live wallpapers don't work (black background). (seems this magically fixed itself without any updates or workarounds)
--Battery % seems to act weird above 90%, lately it's been stopping charging at 95% (or so it says), and the battery info on the lock screen says "Charged" rather than "Charging" at 95%. Reboot, battery pull, wipe batt stats, re-flash ROM, etc. didn't fix. This didn't happen for the first few days after initial install. (seems to be an Atrix problem with 4.0+ rather than a ROM specific problem)
Edit: 8-23-12B
Live Wallpapers working just fine here on latest 0815
The only issue I have really found is that I cannot get my chrome to phone to work... but I can use phone to chrome.
Anyone else have this issue and come up with a solution?

Chrome doesn't works for me too, I've read it needs the hardware acceleration from the driver that Motorola hasn't released yet...

I am not talking about chrome itself I was talking about the chrome to phone app that works with the desktop chrome add on. I should have specified a little more.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chrometophone&hl=en
I use this all the time with going between my phone, my work, and my home computers.
So is there a work around to install flash on CM10. Also mkv files do not work even with mx player correct? Anything else that doesn't work? A complete list would be appreciated!

Uh... Try searching.
Video camera does work on some apps, hardware buttons light up when you select "auto-brightness," Voice search works when you install the appropriate offline voice file, and battery % can be fixed with ravilov's battery app.

It works. Like anything else, you need to sign off/sign in to the service for it to recognize it again. Need to do that every time you flash a rom.

That doesn't work. I have logged in and out on phone and computer, I have installed fresh, I have tried clearing data, and reistalling with data from titanium. Any other ideas? I tried everything I can think of. And I can use the phone to chrome fine just not the chrome to phone...
Most things are running very well. I've tried about a half a dozen roms over the past week or so. One of the only problems I've found is issues with google now. It wont speak back to me, it's just shows the google results. Even on basic questions that it usually would speak an answer back to you, like scores of a baseball game or something like that. But that's not a big problem for me. Also, there's some issues with Chrome and some other browsers. Some browsers work better than others. To my surprise, I'm having the best luck with Firefox Beta and Boat Browser.

Google Voice Crashes
Great ROM. Thanks, epinter.
I'm getting regular messages for Google Voice stopping. I'm running the gapps v3 and the 2012-080-25 ROM but I was also getting the Google Voice crashes in 2012-08-23B.
I upgraded from CM9 without a user wipe (I did wipe cache) and went straight to gapps v3. Other than the Google Voice FCs, everything is running great. I haven't read about anyone else having this problem. Is it just me?
Much appreciated.

Update: I incorrectly assumed that Google Voice was part of the gapps package. A quick uninstall and reinstall of Google Voice through Play did the trick.
Now this ROM is running like butter!
Hello all - still new here, need some help. Installed AOKP and now running CM10 (12/09 build). I have the same issue with both, when i open google search from the search bar or dragging up from the home button it opens but as the "cards" pull up it crashes. Can only google from a browsers or voice search.
Any suggestions ?
Anyone out there
Still having my issue, found another ...
I'm getting a DRM issue when trying to play content from HULU Plus? Any way to fix this also?
Current version of Google Now integrated camera search and for whatever reason became incompatible with the CM10 build for the tablet. My understanding is that development is moving on to CM 10.1 which will be based on 4.2 so for now there is no solution but to use the version of Google Now prior to the latest update.
