[ROM] Harmonia 2.09 18July12 (IHO Gingerbread)

[koopakid08]

My friends,who have NO knowledge of any apps that could modify anything, have regular unrooted Gingerbread phones (2.3.5) with the default Messaging 2.3.5 and it looks completely different from mine. But I'll check that Go messenger. I really like that look lol

Thanks LeslieAnn You do amazing work

Your other phone probably has a manufacturer "skinned" version of android such as Sense or Touchwiz.

I want to say thank you to LeslieAnn for your hard work. Before I was using this rom I was using the modded stock OV rom with the overclocked kernel, that I cant even seem to find anymore , anyways, I was feeling the age of my phone while running that and decided to look for something new. And I found this.

There were a few kinks that I had to work out; such as not being able to buy apps in the market (said an error occurred while trying to process your order) and I couldn't download apps to my phone through the market on my desktop (on my desktop it said I had no devices associated with my account) I fixed that by first doing a nandroid backup just in case and then installing the universal gapps.zip which I got from the cm7 wiki, and after going through the first time set up for that (which I didn't see originally, not sure if that was the problem) it worked, and I can see my device through the market on my computer now. And I'm fully in love with this rom, and my phone again, (I was at the point where I almost went and got a new phone yesterday [phew that was close]).

I also decided that I wanted the Live wallpapers from the cm7 rom, mainly the nice blue nexus one, so I pulled the apk from that rom and that worked perfect.

Oh and an added bonus is tethering works for me now! Where as before I could enable it but the devices that connected to it couldnt access the internet.

Thanks again!

It sounds like you had an incomplete flash, the Market definitely works. I would nandroid and flash directly over what you have, without wiping (do wipe Dalvik), that should fix some of the issues. While what you have works, it may have some hidden issues waiting to be found. If one thing is bad, who knows what else is.

Any idea of the name of the rom you were on before? May have been Stock + Xionia, but I don't think that had market issues.


I'm gad you like it, and especially glad it saved you from buying another phone. They may be old and slow, but they work quite well.

I believe different carriers use carrier specific custom gui for some functions on the phones.

Hello, LeslieAnn! Thanks again for the rom. I've finally updated to Harmonia 2.3 and everything is so much snappier. However, I regret to inform you that I'm having the perpetual accelerometer lag problem that was supposedly fixed in IHO back in September. After 6 hours or so, it starts taking up to 30 seconds for the screen to change orientation. Guess I'll just lock to portrait mode for now.

Oddly enough, I didn't have this issue on the Harmonia 2b1 from August. I'm using the old Optimus V with the Xionia recovery, and Harmonia 2.3. I've done complete wipes, used different Harmonia zips (redownloaded several times, on different computers), and even used different SD cards. I come out to the same conclusion. Hopefully we can figure this out. In the meantime, I'll flash the IHO recovery.

Cheers,
Mike

While what you have works, it may have some hidden issues waiting to be found. If one thing is bad, who knows what else is.

Would you still suggest flashing over what I have if I had already tried doing a second 100% wipe and flash before I resorted to installing the gapps.zip?

I believe it was the stock + Xionia, since I am using the Xionia recovery :-[ I seemed to of overlooked that detail, and I didn't have any market issues with my past rom. After I get home from work tonight I will flash the recovery image you suggested if reflashing over my current install doesn't fix it.

After only 6 hours? That is a bit strange.
I have no idea, yes, the lag can come back, but usually not after 6 hours. I would look into some of your apps, settings or data being restored.

A Wipe doesn't always remove everything unless you wipe all the mounting points, and even then sometimes it takes 2 times. Flashing a second time just gives it another chance to write the files over. It sounds similar, but just doesn't always take.

I would also run an MD5 check, that may help find the culprit.

These phones can be fickle, especially newer models. I'm convinced the flash memory in them is cut rate and doesn't always take flashing like it should.

Ok so I just reinstalled after wiping only the Dalvik, and it still seems to be working just fine; like it seemed to be, but I'll be sure to let you know if I run into any more bumps.


And I already checked the md5 sum way before I flashed the rom for the first time and it matched, so unless matching md5 sums is the culprit...

I hope it works better for you, I don't like it when things only sorta work, especially when I know they do work right.

I wiped everything three times, including my SD card (using my phone), don't restore data, etc... Love this ROM but if this last attempt doesn't fix my freezing / MMS issues I think I'm just going to go buy the Slider. I want a QWERTY anyway.

I've had no problems with mms or anything else with this rom. Everything runs smooth. Keep up the awesome work LeslieAnn.

I'm not sure what you are missing, there is nothing wrong with mms at least in terms of the rom.
Have you tried other IHO roms or even Harmonia 1x?

I'm almost wondering if there is a problem with the phone.

Re: [ROM] Harmonia 2 (IHO Gingerbread) See first post for updat

Oh, my bad. I know it's not the ROM specifically, I tend to have issues with all of them. I'm thinking it's an issue with the phone hardware as well. We'll see how this triple wipe situation goes, everything is smooth now but it usually takes a few days for the freezing to start. I'll be testing MMS tomorrow.
