Where do I open the ROM manager from?

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[Sheik Yerbouti]

It's an app you can download from the Market.

Also, ROM Manager is a great app to browse through ROMs for your phone and install them easily. I'm just not sure if it'll work with the Amon RA recovery that you got. It requires ClockworkMod recovery. Give it a try anyway.

Ok, I am fixing permissions, quite the lengthy process.

Are you running CM 6.1, Sheik?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Yeah, it's a lengthy process. Give it about 10-15 mins.

Funny you ask, cos I installed CM 6.1.1 this morning after a Desire HD ROM had problems. This is not the first time I'm using it, and everytime I install it, I cannot continue using it beyond a day. Mainly cos I miss the HTC Phone application, which is awesome with Facebook, Twitter integration as well as smart dialing. Plus, the ROM does not have A2SD+ so that all my apps are installed on the SD. I'm actually on a ROM frenzy right now and installing different ROMs to suit my needs.

You should be a bit more patient, Dialer One fixes the smart dialing and can be used as default dialer, Phonebook 2 fixes the syncs between contacts and any social media network, it's only drawback is that it is a heavy application but you have a powerful device.

A2SD+? Isn't that something you can add later on?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Oh I've used Dialer One alright. It's really good, but I somehow prefer the HTC one. The way it looks... the way it feels... It just shows they've done a really good job with it.

I'm not sure of that. Most ROM makers include it in their ROM, and I haven't see(probably missed) a thread that lets you install A2SD+ on other ROMs.

Okay found a way to transfer my texts. Will try it out tomorrow, too sleepy to do anything now..

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I can imagine. Must've been a busy day!

BTW guys, if you haven't tried Swype keyboard yet, do it. It'll change the way you use touchscreen keyboards!

Permissions on ROM manager did not fix the camera.

Do you recommend this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847657


On another note, Power Amp or Win Amp.


And Sheik, I understand what you say about HTCs dialer/contacts. It's really a neat feature. Is there a way to flash it into another ROM?

If you are running CM 6.1, then yes. Try that. No need to wipe as that is an update.

I like WinAmp for the wireless music syncing. But PowerAmp has to be the winner here. The equalizers alone make it a winner.

It's basically an APK. You should be able to copy it from one ROM and move it to the other. I'm just not sure how stable it'll be.

Yo Dheeraj, besides ATK Froyo as my task manager, is there another app that boosts or sustains my RAM constantly?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I hardly use task killers, Dru. I just let Android manage the space on the RAM. And most of the times, it works out just fine.

Really? you don't notice a decrease in performance? More apps/widgets/services running does equate to slower performance

What is the wireless music syncing? I got blown away with PowerAmp, what an app!


As for the update, it will just be added to everything else, all my apps, settings, etc will remain, right?


Now tell me, how to install Swype keyboard, it is nowhere to be found in the Market.

Congrats, its a good phone if you don't mind a lil bulk

 

[JCK]

One more thing, Dheeraj. You are on 6.1 and you aren't having any problems with your camera?

Wireless syncing lets you move music from your PC to the phone without the need of a USB cable. You just need to connect the phone to your wi-fi, and install WinAmp on your PC. But if you can live with transferring music through USB, then go with PowerAmp.

Exactly.

What the hell did I give you the link to Blackdroid for?

I will report the camera fix.

I didn't use CM long enough to try the camera!

BTW, this is the ROM I'm using now. Check the screenshots.
