Guest rahan95 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Only major drawbacks to me : GPS doesn't work + the standard photo gallery, used by the picture widgets doesn't bother with the folders and puts all pictures in same one (probably an HTC issue since B&B gallery sees my folders just fine) The rest is just impressive ! Thanks Paul EDIT : I'll take that back : pictures are mixed up in B&B gallery too =( Edited February 20, 2010 by rahan95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teddyballgame Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 wow this ROM is great. thanks paul! anyone tried using MMS yet? i tried sending one and it failed. just received one and it downloaded but its too blurry to see. not sure if this is because the rom is still alpha or if it can be fixed within the apn settings. im using the stock apn which have given me problems in the past but my nexus has been able to receive pictures without any issues lately. anyone able to provide insight on this? btw im on t-mobile US.

Only issue I am having is with BT not pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rahan95 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) That's why I mentionned Copilot, not Gmaps =) Even though I'm pretty sure the location found in Maps is more thanks to Wifi triangulatio than the GPS chipset itself Edit : sorry, forgot to mention it was with Copilot =( Edited February 20, 2010 by rahan95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ehBrY Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I REALLY can't get used to no multitouch in G MAPS, its just unthinkable! Please bring back multitouch into maps! Thanks, make it the HIGHEST Priority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest epikku Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 i just order a nexus one thanks to you guys. keep it up so i can use this rom when my phone arrives. also thanks paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogei22 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 This ROM is great, love it! On the other hand, funny that even how great the Sense UI looks on N1, especially after being a Hero owner for over 6 months, I still somehow prefer standard Android on the N1...

I kinda agree -- I'm really liking Sense, but it seems very busy. Not sure how long I'll be using it, but it's definitely a fun change of pace.

Guest jscore Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Just installed this UI on my N1. I love it, seems to be very fast. I also seem to prefer this to the stock android UI but we'll see. Issues. 1. Maps MT doesn't work 2. Google Voice search doesn't work (always says internet problem) 3. The syncing icon is always showing up (although it has synced my contacts, is it syncing or just showing status is on?) I love it that the ringer lowers volume when picked up. Overall it's a really solid alpha release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greedydog Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Great work Paul! Unfortunately THE thing I wanted to work on this ROM doesn't (at least what I understood should work)...Flash.... to more exact, Shockwave Flash doesn't work so no on demand TV (BBC iPlayer, C4 OD, Hulu etc). Does anyone know if this is just because this is an Alpha or is it because Flash 10.1 doens't support it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, multitouch in maps works well in maps4.0.0-brut4.apk On my side flash doesn't work when I take a picture (even if I try to switch it on manually), is it the same for you ? ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cezent Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 One word for this ROM:WOW! Seriously though, was gonna keep my bootloader locked and see how things plan out, but couldnt resist the temptation of Sense...5 Minutes into using the Alpha 7 and I already dont wanna switch back to stock nexus!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vtecbros Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Overall alpha 7 is pretty soild build. Im using it for a few days...thats how good of a build it it is for me. I think i'd prefer N1's Gallery over HTC Sense photo gallery. Stock n1's gallery looks sexy :D Maybe someone can port gallery to htc sense. that would be nice. Anywho, im loving my n1 so much more now.HTC Sense is Very snappy and fast....Thanks pual! OH yeah spankwire.com worked :D haha lol flash content literally...ha Also some apps on market dont appear, actually alot of them. I installed the latest maps on market, but multi-touch still doesnt work :D its ok tho its a alpha build :lol: no whining for me :lol: haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if this is just because this is an Alpha or is it because Flash 10.1 doens't support it?? When you go to the Adobe 'about page' it detects as 10.1. Odd.

Guest smirnophe Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I also noticed that AVRCP isn't supported with a bluetooth headset (but A2DP is ok) ! ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Glad you're all enjoying the ROM, although the port isn't overly complex, I totally busted my ass on this one with some REALLY weird problems (as kingclick is finding out) not to mention fixing the graphics stuff but it's worthwhile I reckon. Early early release yet almost good enough main use (in fact, I will!) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jscore Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I also noticed that touch screen scrolling, etc is smoother. I'm using this as my main ROM. It's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
