[Q] Custom Rom Queries - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just installed the Flashing Droid Custom ROM on my GT-I9300. Strangely im not able to post on the thread related to that ROM. So i'm posting here.
Well I find that I'm unable to access any of the widgets like the default contact ones, google search ones etc... Secondly, is worth over clocking the device? I just use it call, text, facebook, instagram etc..
Thanks

It's not strange at all that you can't post there. It's part of the guidelines for XDA. Members with less than 10 posts are not allowed to post in the those Development forums - which is why the have the Q&A section for your particular phone for you to ask specific questions about it and you can post in. But as far as the rom goes, not too sure. It's either because it's using the S5 apps or it's heavily debloated or both.

[ROM] ShadowRom v0.2.0

since the mods have decided to remove our links to our neutral centralized blog, we have decided to no longer support XDA as a medium for spreading out our Rom. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused any of you users
Well, here it is kiddos! The second final public release of ShadowRom! Hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
What is ShadowROM?-
it is a rom based off of CyanogenMod Source code. this rom combines the best parts of Insanely Clean v1.3, pl3x v3.0.0, and CM6. you will notice that this ROM has a whole different feel from Cyanogen. we simply wanted to provide the best parts of CM like the On the fly theming, init scripts, a solid base and organized Source Code mangement. we wanted to make this rom the best it can be and this is only the start. this is a small taste of what is to come. I hope everyone enjoys this ROM as much as my self and billy have enjoyed making if for you.
Why is this stock theme?-
we wanted to create the freshest cleanest base for themers. when working of a stock base there are many advantages.. such as-no work to work off of, easy to see issues when your theme is simular, etc. i know all of you might not like stock themes but when themers have it easier to make themes for everyone, that makes it better and faster.
Why are we posting this on our site?-
Because we want to expand to many forums not just droid-forums. thats a lot of threads. we dont want to have to update each one constantly. so if we keep this post updated then we wont have to keep every thread up to date without problems.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change Log:
v0.2.0
* merged all repository's with CM6
* added Queue System to init.d
- new bootanimation on RunQueue
- runs queue'd tasks on boot
- included is a 1-time firstboot queue to move default apps to data on initial install's first boot

* added Launcher2 2d/3d app drawer setting
* added rotary lock screen(activated in settings)-credit to cvpcs and ccroms team
* added build.prop settings
* added settings for moving/managing applications

Please understand that giving a link to another website has no interest... you want feedback for your rom and i understand that, but do what all dev does : share your work here and not a link to go to another forum...

Just for the record. The moderators have removed 50% of the information that has been centrally placed on a neutral blog site. We set things up a certain way so we can post to multiple forums and sites without cross linking the users.
Our blog does NOT require registration, nor does it allow comments. Support will be given in the thread from the forum the user was linked from (aka, here...)
Rest assured I will no longer be posting to XDA because of this idiocracy.
I like your ROM and all, but wouldn't the idiocracy come from the person who can't follow a simple rule then points the finger at the community here because we're asking you to post by the rules?
Your not going to get pulled over by a cop for speeding and say "your an idiot, I was simply trying to get to my destination faster" are you?
Why not host your ROM, post the link, and share with the XDA community just like every other developer does? I think we'd all appreciate it.
I'm sure you're Rom is a good one but you know leeching is an offense on any forum. I can understand XDA's position especially when you are linking things like pics of screenshots and themes to droidforums. Rules are rules

We never linked to DroidForums. Thats the whole reason we made our blog site. To stop cross linking between competing sites...

When I booted into the Rom, I noticed it said v0.0.1. I assume it is because I didn't get options to move any of the default apps. Can you please upload the right version for the Nexus One, thanks.
Be nice if the rom had a keyboard. Little useless without a default one.
Boo, that's lame, lol. Oh well, sticking with Geo's ROM I guess.
Edit - attached the Froyo Keyboard, since it seems Jlevy isn't the only one with the problem. Just flash it via recovery.
Edit 2 - Seemed to not work, lol. I may have another one somewhere, I'll try to locate and test before upload
Ok, lol. Confirmed, this keyboard works. Just flash it via recovery!!
We haved fixed the keyboard, and the version number output in v0.2.1
Just google us up to find our site for downloads, or just use Rom Manager
* Fixed ModVersion output in About Settings page to read correct version (lots of paranoid complaints about this)
* Fixed updater-script output during the installation to read correct version (lots of paranoid complaints about this)
While I understand you're doing this for free, you seriously need an attitude check with how you treat people who are supporting you. People are concerned, and you just flick it back in their face, calling them paranoid? Wow, you aren't even a douche, that title isn't deserving on you.
Hats off for getting a fix out for all those other PARANOID people complaining about a KEYBOARDLESS ROM. Thumbs up to you Captain

You can get any Micro SD card you want actually ,just try it to be 4gb+ and if possible class 4+ (class 6+ recommended if you want to record HD and fast access to all files without lag)
The microsd card you got might be faulty,but in general any would work without problem.
Goodluck.

Post What Where:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.
MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

Then are you sure you have put your apn settings back to your phone? If you are using any unbranded firmware like the Global or Nordic you'll need to put your MMS, APN settings back to the phone manually...
Do a search within the Q&A forum or Google to find out what your career settings are...
PS> You can find the settings in the next path:
Configuracion>Redes Inalam. y redes>Redes Moviles.

Thanks for your reply!! I put the apn settings, and also my sim provider sent me a configuration sms. I check it out and everything is ok, also I have another x10 and everything works well with the same configuration. But this x10 doesn't try to connect if wifi is off, it always says that there is no internet connection available. I've tried many things but it doesn't work anyway...

Even with all apn settings ok, it won't connect... I really don't know what to do, this is the first problem I have with my x10. Do you think It would be ok to downgrade to 1.6??

that`s odd
try downgrade and see if it works. If it does upgrade again to 2.1 and see.
If still doesn`t work go to store and reclaim warranty

The "Reply All" function in SMS

Sorry in advance if this has specifically been addressed. Doing a quick search didn't seem to cover it.
And I started an exact thread over in the Inspire 4G General forum, not knowing where to post it. As I understand, this would be a better place to post this question.
Is it possible for the experts here in XDA to write something into Android's code to allow for a Reply All feature in SMS, like in iPhone's SMS? I'm thinking the Reply All feature must be unfixable because there is conversations all over the internet for people requesting Google to fix it. Some have even stayed with Apple because they would miss that feature too much.

There are 3rd party apps working on this. Only google will be able to add the function to the default and to be honest it doesn't seem high on the list
Scroll to the bottom - some hope it seems..

Indeed this supposedly is put into AOSP JB 4.2 ROM's natively now. I just hope I can get a ROM for my Inspire, but if not, at least it'll be there for future and some present phones.

Noob here: Can someone give me a quick how-to to a nice/simple/fast Android build?

Just bought this and it seems there are so many options to choose from and so many old threads.
I'd like a rom with 0 issues. I frequently will use contacts, check email, want condensed messages and calls, firefox, GPS, facebook, camera, bluetooth, usb storage, tethering, wifi-router.
Can someone please post an easy how-to?

There are no roms with 0 issues. Even WM has issues. There are no 100% complete (and easy) how-tos specific to a single rom as the only version that is officially released to the best of my knowledge is FRX07.1. The GBX version are better I feel (I run GBX nand as my daily)
Android SD is not to hard but corrupts it's data.img file easily if not shut down properly. Android Nand is challenging if you have never flashed anything before.
If you wrote your request like this, you would get a lot of more willing help.
"I am new to the flashing world. I want to learn, and I realize I will need to read a lot first. Could someone please direct me to the best and most current threads so I can educate myself. Thanks for all your help."
We are glad to help, and point you in the right direction. We do get tired of spoon feeding people in a dev forum.
Read all this, and then ask your specific questions and/or post in the thread that covers the Rom you are trying to load. Also the more info you give us when you have a question the better. Your carrier, type of phone, the trouble shooting you have done is all mandatory. Logs can be very useful too depending on what the issue is.

Moved to Android general - this had no business being in the CDMA section...
OP, perhaps you should ask a specific question, and it would be best to post in the build/ROM thread you're using - that way we don't have to guess what build/ROM you're having an issue with.
Thanks.
