6.1 RC5 has dropped

[captdroid]

Haha yeah. I did change mine until I got my replacement. I've had to change so many ROMs and kernels just to find one that didn't overheat my phone the second I started it up and finally landed on two. metiCkOne FRG83 and the Cyanogen ROMs. So, I went with this because it keeps it extremely cool, runs smooth and quick, and has some nice features. So, last night I FINALLY got to edit my sig haha

Yep I was running Sapphire 1.1.1 for quite a while which is a good ROM but no updates in a long time. The Cyanogenmod. Then I ran Liquid which is a good ROM also but not enough features for me. Now back to CM! I borrowed your sig pic, I like it

I don't remember if I tried Sapphire. I flashed Liquid but had heat issues. I love the boot animation on the 1.9? Whichever is the one before the new 1.95. I was a devoted UD fan, I love 2.1 and now he has nightlies as well as starting to incorporate MIUI bits into his ROMs. But, I can't use it with my replacement so...
Ah, I see. Sounds good! I tried the white one that everyone has but it said the file was too large? So, I googled and found that one and I liked the size and color better and not every person who is running CM has it in their sig. As far as I know, we're the only ones! Haha

That Liquid boot animation is pretty cool.. you can rip it out of the ROM and plug it into your CM ROM if you want. I actually like the stock CM boot animation... maybe I am becoming a devoted CM fan... but for how long... lol time will tell... I am extremely pleased with CM 6.1 RC5 w/LFY Slayher kernel

I actually did also load up briefly UD ROMS a little while back but was disappointed. It would appear UD is cleaning up shop as well these days and getting better reviews with 2.1 release. I prefer CM over UD for several reasons and I think that since CM has multiple devs they are stronger long term. But you never know

Thanks for hunting down the sig graphic!

I don't know how to do that. Well, I guess I just go to the zip and take it? I don't even remember what the CM stock boot animation looks like. I changed mine to the droid scribbler right after I flashed almost. Oh, wait, yes I do. It's the CM image with the lines going around it or whatever. What reasons? But I hear they might be getting MIUI lockscreen in 3.0 or whatever version that guy said. I'll hate that. Have you tried out the MIUI music player? Amazing

And no prob!

Right you just grab the bootanimation.zip from whatever ROM download and replace the existing one in /system/media using root explorer.

Reasons? Another reason is IMO CM is the source and I would rather run a ROM from the source rather then secondary with added whatever. Just my opinion and you know what they say... lol

I have not tried out MIUI. Has caught my attention at times but decided it's not polished enough. My phone must work at all times since it's really a hand held computer for me running active sync exchange email used all the time, GPS used often, and 60+ other programs I have installed and use! (not all at once.. lol)

I have not tried out MIUI. Has caught my attention at times but decided it's not polished enough. My phone must work at all times since it's really a hand held computer for me running active sync exchange email used all the time, GPS used often, and 50+ other programs I have installed and use! (not all at once.. lol)

I might grab that then. It's a pretty sweet animation. I might go inside UD and take all of the boot animations inside there too. It's weird how some people put it in /data/local and some put it in /system/media.

Oh, yeah. I read on the Cyanogen website about some of that stuff

MIUI's sync and everything works now. They've improved on almost everything on the phone. The profile themes work, the account sync works, good stuff. But, doesn't run my phone as cool as this. But, if you ever want the miuiplayer.apk I can definitely send it your way.

Well /data/local is taking away from storage for apps downloaded from the market /data/app same partition /data. /system/media is the /system partition. As a side note you can move apps from /data/app to /system/app and with the latest Titanium Backup and apps already in /system/app can be force attached to the market and there is another new feature to build the app update into the ROM (haven't tried that yet). http://matrixrewriter.com/android/titanium_backup_changelog.txt Keep in mind the /system/ partition typically has limited space. I use root explorer to clean things.

I saw the MIUI guys are cleaning things up. Maybe I will try it sometime. Right now enjoying latest CM Sure I would like to try out the miuiplayer. Listen to music sometimes not much but I like to have all the goodies. Maybe I'll replace the Music Mod one with the MIUI player. Send me a PM with the link when you get a chance?

Oh, then I need to move it. I have a lot of apps. I just don't have hardly any of them downloaded because I've had to flash so many ROMs I just quit doing it. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Downloads the lyrics so you can see them while a song is playing. You can turn that off though to save on battery and what not though. Will a PM let you link anything from the desktop? Because how I got it was I flashed MIUI and used an app to backup the apk to my sd card so I can use it on any ROM I want. So, I have to send the actual apk

EDIT: Yeah, I think I have to send it to you through email if that's cool?

Thanks for the miuiplayer insight... not sure if you can attach a file using PM. I will just grab it from the MIUI ROM

Did you change any other posts other than the one discussing titanium? And that may prove to be useful. When I tried putting the MIUI music player in /system/app(that's the only way it will work with changed permissions), it said there wasn't enough room in /system/app for the .apk. So, I just deleted the genie widget

Maybe but the titanium one I thought you might be interested. Ya... what I do is use root explorer and 'filter' sort by name or size to hunt down maybe duplicates, something I don't need, etc in /system/app

For example there is one called CMWallpapers or something like that in /system/app that gets installed which I don't need and is rather large so I delete it freeing up space for other things in /system/app. Of course I always have a backup just in case the delete button goes haywire... lol Because if I don't things can get ugly and then I have to resort to something like adb with the phone running recovery, mounting partitions putting things back together... lol

Definitely. I've had it downloaded but I haven't bothered to see if there were any changes or anything. If I liked the CMWallpapers that much, I would just backup the apk and then install from my SD card. I think that would free up space without filling it back up if it's from the SD. And I have no idea how to use adb and all that so hopefully I never run into that problem. Would not be good. Since CM comes with terminal and spare parts, couldn't I delete them from the system and then download them from the market and leave that space open? And what is DSPManager for? I've never used it

Here is a good rundown what can and "can't" be deleted: Barebones - CyanogenMod Wiki
But doesn't always hold true. For example I delete ADW app the stock launcher, the stock keyboard (two apps), etc because I don't need them

You can always get the files back out of the ROM zip but if the wrong .apk's are deleted (or worse) such as lets say the phone.apk then your into adb (putting files back and setting permissions from a command prompt) or restoring a backup or flashing an update.zip with the phone.apk or reflashing the ROM

You want DSPManager... it's the built in music equalizer. Generally speaking you want most free space in /data/app.

Oh, okay. I'll check that out. The main things I would delete are apps that you can download from the market that came with the ROM.

And yeah, I don't think I'll be deleting the phone.apk haha. Hopefully I don't run into any issues. And yeah, I've heard of adb and everything but I've never used it. I probably would just, if I could, reflash the ROM.

 

[kevdog]

How people can flash custom roms, load custom kernels, but have no idea what adb is or how to use it -- SAD. Facepalm.
