Root Lean, Fast, Sense-Based Rom

toasty · Feb 27, 2012

Been running CM7 for a while, and GPS has conked out and I can't seem to get it going again. Works when I flash a Sense ROM, but even trying to use the CM GPS fix, I can't get it to work when running CM7.

Anyway, I need GPS so it looks like I've got to use a Sense-based ROM, but I'll likely end up overlaying ADX or Launcher Pro, so I want something that is as barebones as possible -- taking up as little space and running as fast as possible.

Any recommendations?

I would try the Rom by Nolimit06. Only 135mb's and based on ththe newest OTA.

Great battery life too.
Probably on this page or page 2. Should be easy to find.

Tommys EVO Classic. Flash the senseless version if your just going to use another launcher.

toasty · Feb 27, 2012

Thanks, guys. Giving nolimit a go right now, will try Tommy's if this doesn't float my boat.

NaterTots · Feb 27, 2012

+1 to tommies senseless version. I didn't even think of it and I used it 2 weeks ago.

The launchkey Rosie on Nolimits is nice.
I mentioned it because of the newest OTA.

Rxpert83 · Feb 27, 2012

Yeah....Still waiting anxiously for tommy to get his OTA out.

I think No-Limits is built off of tommy's new optimized base.

Dudes... This is the only gps fix for aosp that you need. AOSP gps locks better than sense for me.

Is this the Qualcom drivers? I heard those worked the best, I really can't seem to stay on AOSP roms long enough to really get annoyed with the GPS. The Hero days, I ran AOSP, rock solid.

There are a lot of people waiting for Tommie's new one.

Between that and Mik G's it's going to be a good week I think.

I don't think he's released his new one based on the Optimized Base. NoLimit orginally made it from the OTA of 4.67.

Going to be starting fresh on this ROM by using the new base from tommytomatoe. I will be working on this over the next week or so. I am going to be upgrading my computer with my tax refund so that why I am saying a week since I will have to reinstall Windows

If it isnt already it will be soon. That was posted on Feb 21st

Yep. I'm an aosp fan so I can't live without them.

Tried this prior to posting this thread, but couldn't get it to work, either. Oh well, running Tommy's senseless now, and it's working great. Had the occasional spontaneous restart after I first flashed, but they don't seem to be an issue any more.

Thanks, though!

P.S. M-I-Z!!!

Partitioning your SD card does wonders my friend

. It enables all your apps to be completely moved to the SD card as well as the dalvik cache

sorry, i mistook the 50 MB as in that's how much system RAM the phone was using, which made no sense to me because sense or go launcher + a couple of apps would push that over 50 MB in a heartbeat.

50 MB of storage though, that makes more sense now. thanks.

So does moving dalvik to sd cause any problems? Is it good to move it to sd?

Ps i have a patriot 32gb class 10

Rxpert83 · Mar 20, 2012

No, it doesnt cause any issues. I have a class 10 card as well.

MizzouBrent · Mar 20, 2012

I don't currently have dalvik on SD but I have moved it in the past and it always worked fine on my class 10.

Just kinda browsing this thread, how do you move dalvik to sd..scratch that...think I found it..(terminal emulator..type su..type a2sd cachesd..).
..and why would you move dalvik there...to gain more internal memory?

MizzouBrent · Mar 20, 2012

Yes but honestly its not really needed if everything else is already moved
