Twidroyd.apk
VisualizationWallpapers.apk
VoiceSearch.apk
VpnServices.apk
WlanTest.apk
Youtube.apk

might be some other shit too, idk

I see you removed maps and telenav. Does that mean the navigation is removed as well? The reason I ask is because I travel a lot for work and I rely on the google maps navigation heavily to get around and find the places out in the middle of BFE.

I use a GPS app called Waze. It seems to work just as good as Google Maps. It makes driving a little more fun because of the point system and it has real time traffic updates. Its based on the community around it so if nobody is using it you won't get traffic or construction updates. Its not for everyone but certainly worth a try.

What are the steps that I need to take to change the wallpaper? Currently, I am told there is no application available to change the wallpaper.

I use quickpic from the market

Any reason why with this ROM my phone isn't able to get my location in any apps unless GPS is enabled? Before I could just use the 3g connection to get my location, but now I cannot. Any idea?

you sure you didn't leave GPS on before? I've always had to turn it on for apps to use my location

Yeah I'm positive it wasn't on before. I usually made a point of not having it on whenever possible. Like I use Google+ and it could just pinpoint my general location, also Google Maps, Foursquare, and local radio stations with the iHeartRadio app. It wouldn't be quite as accurate as GPS, but it was really close. I was always able to save battery not turning the gps on for some of the apps I didn't need to be very accurate.

I added a version of Simple Blue/Green for this

You don't have to do any fancy stuff to install it, Just copy it to your sdcard and flash it in CWM and your done. You can clear dalvik cache if you want but you don't have to

If Gmail doesn't look themed just uninstall the updates for it in settings and it'll be good

very nice. apps, especially games, seem to run smoother. (fruit slicer, angry birds) but i seem to be having a problem with my gps now. Unlike rogue mines doesn't work even if GPS is enabled. (make your clock widget, google maps). i have tried with with 3g and wi-fi enabled.

weird, i just tested the gps with google maps, navigation and my cast weather and it worked

The Rom is great and was going really well, about 4-5 hours later the whole phone crashed, Started with a2sd, which was working great, and then FC's started.. Reflashed, fresh again, wiped SD and repartitioned...followed by bootlooping.. No idea what happened.. Something went horribly wrong... Bigger problem now is (nothing to do with the phone) my computer crashed.. C and D drives are unreadable.. FML..

Blood, thank you for this mod. My phone is running better than ever. For anyone having the low memory and text message full warnings with DTA2SD. Simply go back into A2SDGUI and move the Dalvik to SD card. All errors will go away and your phone will run better than ever.
I love the black and white theme so I played with a wallpaper I found in google images and added CTMOD title to it. I like it alot with the mod, so I thought ya'll might as well (see attachment)

Thanks again Blood.

p.s. I have had it installed since yesterday with no issues.

maybe I'm doing something wrong.....

I used EE14_RT_CWM_rev3_HK_1_2_ to go back to stock with root and recovery.

Updated recovery with HK12_CWM_rev4_update then reboot to system.

Powered off then went back into recovery

flashed CTMod.

After phone starts up I use market to sign on to my gmail. Go to settings>location&security. enabled "use wireless network" and "use gps satellites". opened browser. on google.com i signed on to gmail. i get "location unavailable - update" which does nothing when clicked on. tried signing on to wi-fi no change. I never had problems with gps at home but went outside and tried again location still would not show.

any idea what i'm doing wrong?
