...just a couple of questions in descending order of importance:
- Would I be able to use Xperia Link with CM10.1? I have the XTZ and XZ and I use Xperia Link every day. Wouldn't want to fiddle around with the phone and tablet to tether. The phone will remain with stock 4.2.
This is the question that'll make or break me flashing CM on the tablet. No Xperia Link (or alternatives), no flashing. The next two are nice to have:
- Is there any way to emulate the small apps with CM?
- Does the infrared remote work with CM?

is there any way to put the se camera in z's cm7 for gb?? A is it possible to put the photo widget and othe widgets from the arc into this rom??
The first question is being answered over and over again in original thread, the answer is definitely No at this moment. Second question I'm not sure though, you can use search function to get the solution
He did it in his free x10 rom so it can't be to far from happening. I'm like you that's what I really want also
thank you guys fr your help
Basically no, because of the difference in the frameworks and other stuff used to compile the rom which is totally different from the arc/x10 GB interface
Hear me out on this one before you shoot me down.
Alpha2.1 has become pretty much a daily for me, with the only real nuisance being the wifi issues. My understanding from other posts is that Alpha3 will be released before moving on to ICS for CM9. If wifi is fixed in Alpha3, it would become a definite daily for me. That said, when CM9 eventually comes out I would like to check it out and provide feedback, but would prefer not to dump a familiar and possible more stable CM7.1 until CM9 becomes as stable.
My question is this. Would it be worth the trouble to setup moboot to triple boot WebOS, CM7.1 and CM9? I doubt the CM team would want to bother with it, but I haven't dealt with moboot until this project. Would it be pretty much the same as editing Grub on a PC to triple boot?
Thank you for your considered opinion.
This is what they posted with the release of CM9 for TouchPad....
CAN I MAKE A TRI-BOOT SYSTEM? (WebOS, CM7, and CM9)
Yes, but don’t bother. There may be instructions forthcoming on this, but it’s a bit advanced - just pick one.

Guess they are not ready to share that... I think I'm gonna have to ask them about it over at RootzWiki...
I myself am looking for a triple boot solution but for a different reason...
Since Android does not allow for separate profiles on one device to allow multiple users to keep separate system settings thru out it like PC's on Windows user accounts... And it doesn't seem like they are making a iUser version for Android...
I only see a solution of 2 separate installs of CM7 or CM9 (whichever two)... And then each person can choose their installation at boot-up.... Eventually they will need to add password protection to them... But that is longs way ahead...
If u look at the vidz from ReverendKJR on YouTube.... U can see that all the CynagenMod variants seem to end up being listed as the same thing regarding of flavor... But the EverVolv ICS install is listed as a different installation... This is just the listing part.... It doesn't mean they work correctly and don't clash with each other.... But we do know that maybe 3 Roms just fit on the TP...
Hopefully they will release how to do this correctly soon....

Triboot instructions may still be coming from what I've read. I hope they do, but if CM9 is stable I may not care as much. As for password protection, to what exactly are you referring? Android already has pins, patternlocks etc.
Well I decided to go ahead with CM9 Alpha0 last night (backed up my CM7 install first). So far super stable, don't really need what's broken (camera, microphone etc). One big reason was that Logmein Ignition hasn't worked since its 14 November update (older version works, but I don't trust the apk download source). Now it works, plus I can now load honeycomb apps! If this keeps up I'll probably never bother with triboot.

Cool... Did u do the multiple performance tweaks???... How stable is u'r Wifi???
Right... Screen Password is there.... And would work at startup... But then u would need to turn it off and to turn it back on... I am looking at a two user system for my TP.... With both parties having separate Android installs... I would prefer a moboot or another booter way to make sure the 2nd user only has access to their install of Android & wouldn't be able to mess up WebOs or my install of Android... Seems iUser would work great.. but no Android version seems to be available... Let me know if u find the Tri-Boot info...

Yes, did the two fixes I saw listed. Also ran Alpha 0.5 tonight. Wifi if anything is better than CM7 Alpha3.5. Installed 3 days ago, only had to cycle wifi off/on once. Have joined 5 different SSIDs in that time, two of those on a 7 access point network on different channels (1, 6 and 11). One was open while rest were WPA2 secured.
As for the multi-user setup, if Android isn't an absolute requirement, perhaps an Ubuntu Linux install would do? I don't know how far along the project is, but if it works you should be able to create as many non-root users as you like. Just an idea.
EDIT: Looking in the "Other Touchpad Development" Forum, the Linux projects appear much more "alpha" than CM9 is now. However Arch Linux looks promising.

I've been a long time follower of XDA forums. In fact although I say this is my first time flashing ROMS that only refers to modern smartphones. I have previously (with the help of XDA forums) flashed a couple of XDA phones and my Sony Ericsson w880i too.
I've recently moved to the Galaxy S3 but before that I was an iPhone user which meant that I used to browse these forums envious of all the amazing things people were doing with their Android phones.
I dont regret moving to Android and the Galaxy S3 is (in my experience) better than any iPhone I've ever had including the new iPhone 5 too.
Now that I've had the s3 for a while and I'm more comfortable with Android, I want to look into flashing a custom ROM or two onto my device before I settle with the ROM that best suits me. So with that in mind I have a few questions that hopefully you can answer for me.
1) Backups. I have downloaded lots of apps, I have several hundred contacts, I have lots of SMS messages that I dont want to lose, I dont want to lose my calendar entries or my music customisations. Some of you posters here seem to flash different ROMs to your phone every day/week so I'm guessing you will be able to tell me which is the best way to backup my information and restore it safely and quickly.
2. Suitable ROM. I know that there is no such thing as the best ROM for everyone but certain ROMs will be more suitable for me than others. What I'm looking for is quality audio for calls, built-in reliable call recording of both sides (I do phone interviews), the best music audio, light build, fast response and long battery life. I'd also like a ROM which is fully compatible with all the phones features. I dont want to waste my time with ROMS where the WiFI, camera, 3G, bluetooth or other features dont work properly.
3. Hacks/Mods. I cant seem to find a list of the most popular (and reliable) hacks and mods avaialble for the Galaxy s3. I've heard there are some great ones for the camera and the audio drivers but I haven't found any place where they are listed together. So if it exists could you point me to it and if not then could you share your favourite hacks with me please.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and hopefully (after my long iPhone exile) I can start benefitting from the wonderful world of flashing ROMS too!
1 - Titanium Backup PRO is the only way to go, i also recommend Lookout Mobile security
2- I use AOSP ROM's as most of the bloatware is gone and they are far more advanced than Samsung based ROM's but from what im looking you want i think you would be better off with a ROM like Android Revolution, Dragon ROM or Omega,again there are dozens of ROM's to choose from i recommend you take some time out to check their different features.
3- As above take some time to search the S3 forums there are many brilliant mods and hacks to be got.
I was hoping for a few more responses and suggestions. I like the features of the MIUI rom but I dont like the iOS look.
1. Backups:
I would go as well with Titanium Backup Pro for Apps & Data (non system)
For contacts & calendar just use gmail to sync them. This will automatically restore your contacts & calendar entries once you flashed a different ROM.
For music customization as well as SMS I am not sure, but there are at least solutions for SMS backups
2. ROM:
I am using Stock JB Rom (latest french version). Works pretty well so far and had no need to go custom ROM yet.
3. Mods:
The only additional things I install after flashing a new ROM are the extended power menu (as it is not included in stock ROMs obviously) and Syiah kernel (also includes some Audio tweaks in sTweaks) & config files for better battery life
Hope it helps you
Everytime im using a custom rom, i cant use spotify properly. It crashes randomly, playback stops etc.
tried cyanogenmod, slimbean and slimkat.
Or is there an fix for this issue?
thanks
Run stock (dual boot ??)/
why would i use dual boot if i want a clean rom an use spotify as one of my main apps?
Because fu*king app developers (regular ones, like the ones who develop apps like Spotify) don't have fu*king users of custom roms on their radar. They're only fu*king interested in the 99.99% of phone users who use their phone in a fu*king 'regular' manner. They don't fu*king care whether their apps work with custom roms or not. It doesn't make one fu*king iota of difference to their business whether their app works for you with your fu*king custom rom setup or not.
Now...
You can either fu*king accept that, or you can gnash your teeth & cry about it. I gave you a suggestion based on similar frustrations I have experienced with many apps over the past couple of yrs when I've been running custom roms.
The bottom line is, if you want every app to work guaranteed, run a fu*king stock rom or custom rom that is Samsung-based with minimal deviations from stock. If you want to run fu*king AOSP roms, expect many 'vanilla' apps not to work
If this app is that important to you, you know what to do. Also, did it not fu*king occur to you to ask the developers of the fu*king roms in question whether there is any chance of them implementing something on the rom side which may make the app in question work, or even ask the fu*king users of the fu*king roms in question (in the rom threads) whether any of them have been able to figure out a fu*king workaround ?
Given the minimal fu*king traffic we get in Q&A these days, asking a specific question like that you've got f*ck all chance of getting an answer which might help you get a solution. You're far more likely to get that (if a solution is possible, that is) by going 'straight to the source' (I.E the fu*king rom thread), as it were.
See ? I can use fu*king/f*ck/etc in my post too. Thing is, it makes me look just as big an idiot as you looked using it in your post
Edit - Also, did it not occur to you that perhaps a simple build.prop edit might be a way around this, assuming the issue is simply a case of the app reading the build.prop, seeing it's not stock & barfing (it may not be this also, but it's worth trying or finding out if the app checks this) ? If you don't know how/what to edit, that info is easily found by searching here/elsewhere.
Hi everyone!
So long story short I used to have an Xperia Neo, and a few months ago, ending up in the xda developement section here, I decided to try and unlock the boodloader, root it, and put Cyanogenmod 11 on it, after hours and hours of googling.
That phone is now almost destroyed (mechanically, because of myself) but I have another Xperia, this time a Neo V, which I'd like to "improve" in this way.
I am wondering, anybody has any advice on how to go about it?
This is what I'm looking for:
- Have at least some modern apps working (whatsapp, spotify, messenger?)
- Have the ability to put them on SD card and not internal memory
- No bugs on common stuff like telephone, SMS and browser
- No extra battery drain than what I already have
Any advice how to go about it? Should I go the CM13 way? CM11? Is there even one stable custom mod anywhere I can find without bugs? My CM11 was rather buggy and didn't support most apps (no facebook messenger, etc), and I couldn't put all of my programs on the SD but just part of them.
Any help would be appreciated. Just something like "oh this mod works well and the links are still alive, go here *link*".
Hope I'm in the right section.
Just to be clear, I'm not asking "what is the best ROM", as I saw that is forbidden here.
I am asking: if I wanted the phone to run smoothly, what way should I go about it? Should I root it again and go Cyanogenmod? Should I look into other possibilities? Would I get a better result just going stock and using gapps and other apps that remove bloatware instead?
If anyone has got this phone to a good standard please just let me know how you did it and I'll be super grateful.
There are so many ways to go about it I honestly have no idea where to start with
Up, any recommendations at all?
