Hey people, i've been running nfsfans 1.05 rom and frankly, it blows. it's slow, the text messaging is nearly unusable and i just can't cope with it anymore.
i need a new, speedier rom. something slim, without too many extraneous features but most importantly, i just need something fast. in the last rom, i'd close out a threaded im and it would take 15-45+ seconds to get back to the text inbox. going from the inbox to the home screen would take more then 60 seconds. this is just unacceptable. i would have to restart the phone a half-dozen times a day because it would simply freeze for no reason.</rant>
anyway, if anyone could recommend something to me, i would be forever grateful.
thanks!!
You can try mine. It's clean and fast, very similar to DCD's. Visit the link in my sig for more information.

You will need to install Arcsoft MMS. Check out post #2 in my thread for the copy that I use.
on villainrom 10.3 i updated ota just a quick update. then when i tried to reboot i got my lock screen and it said network locked, contact customer care.
so i went to recovery and tried to do a nandroid restore, but the same thing happened.

You are on Orange UK i resume? If so, you need to restore to the old radio, as Orange UK seem to be a nuisance with this
Grab the second most recent radio from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=323 and flash it as normal
okay thank you.

Nice. Just be sure to make sure it's unrooted and running the old Orange ROM first
yeah, i'll play around with the stock rom for a few hours.
then ill root it and try the new cronos rom and the newest villain rom.
eventually i am going to make my own, simple, non sense rom.

Cool. Wouldn't want them to find out our little "rooting" secret
BTW, there will be a new version of SuperHero coming out soon (http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=43 for info on the old version), which is basically a non-Sense ROM, but with a couple of the best sense features added )

OMFG i just realised you are pulser. GENIUS. love your work. ermmm, i am considering donating. ill do it next week when i get my moneys. sounds good, i'll try that too, I have always stuck by villainrom, tried some others, but always come back to it.

New superhero should be tomorrow. Once we get the usual stuff out the way and actually get it uploaded

LOl. Thankfully not
i fixed it, all is well, just about to flash villainrom, 10.3 or maybe superhero. thanks for all the help.
I have had this problem for a while now and been reading about it so kinda need some clarification :-/
I currently have a faint keyboard burnt into my background on everything i do on my phone which gets very annoying especially on light coloured backgrounds.
Turning your phone off / on is meant to cancel this problem but it has not worked , I have tried turning it off for short and long periods of times (upto a day).
Is there actually any real way of getting rid of this problem or is it a phone fault ?
BTW - If this helps, I have stock ROM 4.0.4 and currently using Nova Launcher Plus, also using original samsung keyboard.
Could be a problem with the rom. You can try flashing another stock rom, like 4.0.3.

Most ridiculous advice I've read in a while. Amazing :good:
It's just screen burn, because it's an Amoled screen. Nothing you can do about it.

I dont really want to tamper with that kind of stuff. Looked into Flashing your own rom using ODIN whether being stock or not and its not for me tbh
Do you think this is a valid reason to take my phone back and request it to be replaced? Had this phone for just under a year now.

There is really nothing much you can do, because it is usually temporary. Try turning your phone off for more than a day.(you could try) to let the pixels or crystal return to their natural relaxed state.

So i took the APK from this thread and made it work for our device. this will only work on AOSP roms that have a CM10.1 base. If you would like to try it, go ahead and flash in recovery. Please have a nandroid just in case, each phone is different and although it works for some it might not work for all.
THIS WILL NOT FIX ANY EXISTING PROBLEMS THAT THE CAMERA HAS, ITS JUST THE NEW UI .
NEW GE 4.2.2 camera Flash in recovery.
OLD CM10.1 camera Flash in recovery.
I will try my best to help anyone out that needs it. feel free to comment here or PM me. :victory:

i think i can get photosphere working if you would like to try it. i did it for the rezound before. it requires a 3lib files to turn it on. ^_^
Edit:
going to be a little harder than i thought. i can get it to turn on. but when i move the phone around it FC. Going to have to do a log cat and figure what is what.
Edit2:
Got the full dump, even better to work with.

I don't know if you saw my other thread asking about the gyroscope, but our phone doesn't have one, so photosphere won't work.

yeah i kinda of figured as much when the FC was calling for it but i was able to use the tilt sensor to do it. But the phone now crashes when stitching the photos.
im trying to get help on it now but progress has been slow, just moved into a new house and still setting everything up.
so what's the new ui look like - can some post / link a screen shot? is this it....
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/27/download-new-stock-camera-app-from-google-play-edition-phones/
after reading the original thread it seems safe to install this as it will not overwrite the stock camera app / gallery. can anyone confirm that on our phone?
thanks for the work to to port this over for our use!!!

You should do a "Lol" or something at the end of your post cause at this point you sound like a pushy obnoxious ass. He don't owe you anything so watch how you post especially when inquiring about ETA's from any Android developer who does this for free, fun and on their own time for the community

OK, so I haven't posted much in this forum in general because I haven't had a need to really. I find what I need read and move on. But because of that I can't post in the developer section to ask this question before I flash this ROM so I will ask it here. So I'm going to take the plunge and flash Newts NOS m7 ROM. But after reading about 60% of a 949 page thread I do have some confusion. There were some updates and patches I'm going to call them for a lack of better term. I don't need to run any type of beast mode kernel. So what patches or fixes do I need to add in order for everything to work on this ROM? And I'm choosing this one over the alpha Sense 5 ROM based on data working with Verizon and not working with the alpha. At least nothing has been posted that it's working in all aspects now. I appreciate the help and hope that I can be rocking the NOS rom by tonight before I go to bed.
Really? No help out of 60 views?

If you install the full rom, you don't need any of the patches.
Well I have the full app plus a couple of the other downloads that are mentioned to have off the bat. But has the ROM download been updated with the patches that fix stuff? Thank you for your response by the way.

3.0.7 is the only thing you need to have as of today it contains everything, patches are minor small updates and newtoroot usually will tell you what patch you need when they are released.
Sent from my dlx using XDA Premium HD app
So you are saying that the kernel patch, the call patch, and the other patch are all included in the 3.0.7 build and I shouldn't worry about them even though people are having issues with the ROM in certain areas such as what the patches fix? I'm asking for clarification because I can't afford to screw up my one and only phone. Besides Viper Rom this Nos 7 Rom seems to be the best out there for what I want until the update comes out. This is me being cautious and doing my research. I don't want to sound like a jerk. Just trying to have everything lined up right.

Again.... just install the full rom. All is included.. Don't see how you could be confused with that statement.

All you really need to worry about if it says full Rom or not. If it is a full Rom flash it after that there is nothing else to do.

Thanks for the help. I should just take the plunge but like I said before I'm just trying to do all the research that I need and to be as well read on it before I just jump into something. I'm not a first time rooter or flasher of ROM's. This one just has me timid because even the latest posts in the thread of the ROM is saying there are data issues. So I hope you can see where my concern is coming from. I'll flash it tomorrow and see what happens from there though.
OK, so I just took the plunge and did the flash. One problem I have right off the bat is that Gmail keeps closing and failing. I can't have that because all of my most important e-mails come in thru that. So is there a fix or do I just have to go back to stock?

Never heard of that issue. I would just re-wipe and re-install the rom.

You won't get any help if you don't tell us what you did..... I have never heard of ANY rom that gmail doesn't work.
and YELLING AT PEOPLE DOESN'T HELP EITHER.
Well, it wasn't meant to come out as yelling. And I didn't do anything but install the ROM just like everyone kept telling me to do. Oh and the weather on the lock screen is broke too. It always says no weather data available.
Well nothing like feeling even more of an ass. I never saw the replies I had already gotten from you guys. I guess my page wouldn't refresh. I'll wipe it and re flash it on I guess. I did all the stuff I needed to do before flashing it so I"m in the clear on that one. I'm not sure as to what all the extra apps that I've never seen before are but I'm ok with that for now. Oh, um isn't there suppose to be a swipe screen to wake feature on this ROM? I can't find it.
So G-mail is back to working now. I reflashed the ROM and did a cache and dalvik cache wipe. I also did the lock screen patch and volume to wake patch. I still don't have weather on the lock screen though. And the little click sounds that are turned on for me for when I unlock or lock the screen....yeah I can't hear them.
So, everything works now. Go figure....well minus those sounds that for some reason I actually really really liked having turned on before I flashed this. Maybe they will just start working again too.

So, in other words, all of your problems were self inflicted.
Do the flashing process properly next time and you won't have these issues.
Nope not self inflicted. I did the flash exactly the way I was suppose to. Not sure why flashing it a second time worked but it did. Now to figure out how my nanddroid back up got deleted.....or if it's just hidden and I don't know where it is. I use TWRP recovery by the way.
