    New G Nexus owners....Happy?

    I upgraded from the LG Optimus S that I had running CM7. I had tweaked the phone so that it ran smooth as butter and the stock Gnexus just blows it away. Every little thing about it from the animations to the much better app interface along with the huge screen is so much better than my previous...

    Learning to PORT

    General Instructions: 1. When installing a Linux system with a custom partition table you generally need to select the "Other Options" or advanced option. 2. The next thing you need to do is to create a root partition that is ext4 or some other file system of your choosing. Ext4 is the poplar...

    Learning to PORT

    The other thing you might try is using ndiswrapper with the windows driver. You can try downloading the driver from the manufacturer's website and looking up how to use ndiswrapper. I would do this as a last resort though as it is sure to cause you pain and suffering. I had to do it once when I...

    Learning to PORT

    XFCE if you want a minimalist interface that gets the job done. KDE if you like to have a pretty desktop that is still very functional. GNOME 3 if you want to change the way you think about the desktop xD. Personally, I like GNOME 3. It takes some getting used too but it's really not that bad...

    Alarm Droid: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.splunchy.android.alarmclock That's the alarm app that I currently use and really like. The only issue I have with it is the math problem is always a multiplication problem + addition problem which I find are the easiest of simple math to...

    Learning to PORT

    Invincible, I'm glad you asked about this because I was literally typing out a post just like this yesterday but then decided I should just try to do my own research first when I have time. I've been lurking on these forums for about a year and I've really really appreciated everything all the...

    [ROM] CM7.2 Port for Optimus S by thekraven 3/9 zvd only

    Re: [ROM][WIP] CM7 Port for Optimus S by thekraven 10-05-2011 Seriously, it has always bothered me just a little bit that I couldn't get the app drawer to scroll smoothly, until this version. I'm not sure if it's new or what but I turned on the 16bit transparency, OC'd to 768 and changed...

    ARCHIVED: Drew's CM7 builds (stable: 08/09/2011 | experimental: 08/08/2011)

    Re: Drew's CM7 builds (stable: 08/09/2011 | experimental: 08/08/2 I'm not sure I'll be able to make it another week without an update to my phone. Things just aren't the same when I can't get my fix for that feeling I get when I run 2.3 despite LG dragging their feet. In all seriousness, just...

    [Custom Recovery] Xionia Clockwork (CWMA v1.2518.6)

    I am using a different recovery and I would like to change to this one as it is the more recommened recovery for cm7. Do I need to do anything other than follow the install instructions to replace my current recovery? Any feedback is very appreciated.

    ARCHIVED: [DEAD ROM] ThundeROM V1.8.3 4/5/2011

    Just flashed thunderom 1.6 to my phone. I have to say this rom is superb. The regular animations are back and the OS is so smooth. Great job guys keep the good work. The only thing I noticed is that when unlocking the phone the home screen flashes for an instant. No big deal, just something I...

    Also wanted to say thanks for this great ROM. I was slightly wary about rooting and flashing my phone; this forum made doing it a snap. My phone has better battery life and is much speedier now too. However, I wanted to comment on the application transition animation. The transition that...
