[Q] Question about ASOP ROM

Sorry for asking such a question, it's hard for me to follow XDA, there lots of pages. So basically, I rooted my phone, JIT my phone (benchmark ~710) but I still feel that it's somehow lagging and I wan to make the best of it. I pondering whether to install 2.1 Custom ROM ASOP or Froyo 2.2.1 AOSP ROM.
I more into gaming, music, video, facebook etc so I don't think Froyo will be suitable for me since there's lot of bugs such as cannot install certain apk, no camera (don't know still got what). What about 2.1 ASOP? With it be better compared to now? And there's three version (full, light, ultralight). Which one should I install?
And is it replacing the original ROM or just another ROM (meaning I can switch back to the original ROM anytime).
FYI : I wish to keep chinesetextinput, JapaneseIME, PhoneBook, mediascape. I already using Launcher Pro Plus so I don't need the Launcher Pro launcher
Thanks in advance!

Don't install either of those roms time as they are not finished and can't really be used for everyday use .

sit tight mate, they (Jerpelea) is about to release v5 of his AOSP 2.1 ROM - and he says that the dialler is working.
also, thank you for not posting in the DEV thread!!! you have no idea how frustrating it is looking for bug reports in that thread now - i feel so sorry for J and Z
edit: just re-read your first post. Are you sure u need to keep mediascape? there are better alternatives that are provided in vanilla (AOSP) android, that do not get so intrusive in the system. The AOSP rom is a complete flash, so you have to choose to use it or something else.
The full, light and ultralight are NOT AOSP ROMS either so you know, they are customised SE roms that can be used with Zdzihu's recovery menu. These CAN be used with your existing ROM in a way, but you will need to juggle backups and image files. can be done, but takes about 10 minutes to change. Safe and works, but a little clunky

First of all, backup everything u want! Titanium backup ot even the .apk on ur SD or PC
I am running both...
2.1 custom AND 2.2 custom, i cant make any calls on 2.1 -> reboot to 2.2
Cant take pics from camera -> reboot to 2.1
...
It works fine for me
My quadrant results:
2.1 ~720
2.2 ~2200
Thx for posting a new thread and not spamming the dev thread...
Edit: yes, u can go back to original SE rom, just use the link for the .504 version in the first post of 2.1 custom rom thread

@mrtim123 : Thanks but can you futher explain what you mean recovery menu? So you meaning the ASOP will replace the current ROM while the customised SE roms can be use with the current ROM anytime?
From the custom ROM ASOP thread,
They stated:
Not working
-video playback is not using hardware decoder for some formats
-camera settings crashes
So the dailer is already working?
And will remove mediascape result in problems in the future? Heard from some thread that it will result in problems.
@PoTi_96 : It's kind of hazzle to change here change there. I prefer one ROM rather than 2.

I know but the dialer wasnt fixed, now im just running 2.1

I installed asop 2.1 ver b006 last night and now i have about 17 hours of usage. I belive that it is almost a rom for a dayly use. Bugs i experienced so far are camera settinhs giving FC, some minor problems with downloads on build in browser,all fixed with opera. It comes half rooted but can easy root with z4root app, i could not find the gallery but after instaling the app from this forum ( gallery 3d) i am more sattisfied then with mediascape timescape or any other SE program. I find it verry snappy and belive you should try it after a backup with titanium. Another beautifull app is the recovery.menu witch is the best. All the best

Pardon, I have no clue when coming to such things. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The recovery.menu is it a kind of application that help you flash your phone? So I have to keep pressing back when the Sony logo came out to go into recovery mode and install the ASOP ROM? And the Global ROM is to revert back? So I had to install both ROM?
However since stated that it's not possible to call people, how is it possible that the ASOP can be used for daily. I don't mind about the camera since I don't really use it.
P.S I already download the ASOP ROM for the main thread.

So I have to keep pressing back when the Sony logo came out to go into recovery mode ABOUT 5 TIMES
and install the ASOP ROM? YES, AS UPDATE.ZIP
And the Global ROM is to revert back? BACKUP FIRST
So I had to install both ROM? YES, NOW YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN
However since stated that it's not possible to call people, how is it possible that the ASOP can be used for daily. WORKS ON LATEST RELEASE

Thank you for your reply. One more question before I start on it. So when you say switch between, when I switch will it remain the same or it will be a completely fresh ROM?
For example I now using ASOP ROM and wan switch to the original ROM and if i decide to go back ASOP, will all settings be gone?

When you restore, you will get back state you were in at backup. Same settings, same apps.

So meaning, I can keep the setting of the current Sony ROM. So if i chage to ASOP and decide to change back I can have the same settings?
And if i decided not to use ASOP anymore, I can just delete both the original and ASOP ROM at my SD card?

You must back up first though.

[Q] Cyanogen Mod

please help. i have recently installed a cyanogen rom onto my htc hero and it works lovely. the only problem is there is no app market and im not sure how to get it. is there anyway i can an app market app? the link i downloaded is update-cm-6.1.0-rc1=hero-signed.zip
JiG

Hello Jamie,
because of legal issues the google apps is not included in the rom. You can find a zip to flash in the official thread of that ROM, http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11667-cyanogenmod-61-for-hero-v610-12072010/
Br,
Henrik

Reflash the rom. It comes with the market right? did you do your wipes etc? failing that, you can download a market apk i think from somewhere in 'general'. That will be the updated market anyway. I sometimes have to flash it as the older market doesnt seem to show all of my downloads...annoying when updates are avail. anyway, i'd say reflash.

[Q] Please Help Me ):

Not sure how i did this but after installing GenerationX rom my camera stopped working...ive tried almost everything that i know like trying different roms, doing a restore backup in rom manager, pulling the battery..sim and memory card and it still forces close. if anyone could help me i would GREATLY appreciate it <3 thank you!

Sounds like a hardware issue.

What other roms did you try out that the front and rear cameras arent working on?

Do a full wipe and either reflash the ROM or flash another ROM.
I would suggest to just flash the latest CM7 nightly.

What other Roms have you tried. Are you possibly using the wrong kernel type for your Rom?
I agree with mackster, the easiest/best thing to do would do a FULL wipe and flash another rom, or redownload that rom and try to reflash it. (after a full wipe of course)
Edit: Lots of Rom choices listed in the link in my sig ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Sorry if im not sounding too brilliant i am a noob and am just tryna get with the program. thank you guys so much for the help!!!

Are you having these problems with your ffc before or after restoring your apps (either by googles auto restore or via titanium or mybackup)?

I didnt even bother restoring my apps because i wasnt sure if i had to do a restore again, i tried qik and the stock camera app, but im also thinking that the wallpaper and theme is doin some funny stuff too like not changing when i switch to new roms...i just put the royal ginger rom on it and i have a wallpaper and theme from like 2 roms ago...so idk im all confused :/

this is all i know...i had the generation x v4 rom on my phone and it was working just fine, then i seen that generationx had a new version so i flashed that...thats when it all started...and since then ive tried to revert to tha rom that was working fine and its not fixing it

What system/lib files are associated with the Camera.apk?

Trying to get the stock camera working on CM7 (cause the CM7 camera plain sucks). Of course doing this I would need to replace all the system/lib files related to the CM7 camera with the stock one. Anyone have a clue what lib files are needed?

Depends on what you mean by "Stock", if you mean from an HTC Sense rom, it's not going to work because the ril/so/ko files will only work on a Sense Kernel.

From the stock non-Sense ROM. Im aware that Sense apps won't work on CM7 and other similar ROMs.
