    will this work for the droid?

  2. cortez.i says:

    with Apps2SD aren't you really saving available ROM space vs. Memory/RAM? the Cyan Apps2SD implementation is really nice and i like that you can enable/disable the feature it shows you available space by partition and device.

    hello!! how you can turn off the battery percentage that is displayed in the battery icon (status bar)??? i don’t know how .
    thanks!!!

  4. Alex says:

    im a beginner nd ireally like this rom what do ineed to be able to download this

  5. Carlos Graves says:

    It's an option in the Spare Parts application.

  6. Neemo says:

    Anyone notice the upside-down orientation option is labeled 360? That’s a full turn back to starting point :P

  7. Carlos Graves says:

    Not until they port it (if they port it).

  8. Carlos Graves says:

    Well first you have to root your phone. You can root by following this very easy-to-follow guide by John -

    Why does DroidDog still have Carlos Graves posting android videos. he post videos, you ask him a question and hes no where to be found or offers not help at all. I would really like for people to stand behind their work like the other editor does, John.

    • Carlos Graves says:

      I’m not entirely sure what you’re talking about…
      I am fully available and answering questions on DroidDog.com and on my Twitter page.

  10. John Walton says:

    Huh? I think Carlos probably answers more questions in the comments than I do.

  11. uansari1 says:

    Carlos, what kind of improvement in battery life have you noticed, if any, from the undervolted kernel?

  12. Hannes says:

    Yes Carlos, this review was much better than the last one!
    Thank you for this good test – I got a lot of hints for this mod now, because i am using it!

    Thanks again for your now really good review.
    Greetings from Austria

    Saw the vid… got excited… downloaded 5.0.5.3 for #droid from @koush… NO APPS2SD!!! Dammit Jim!

  14. Carlos Graves says:

    Well I'm not sure what the battery life is like with just the kernel (ie, no other applications helping the battery life), but with all my battery saving applications that I use, I get easily a good 9-10 hours out of it.

  15. Carlos Graves says:

    Oh man, that's a bummer.

    Hopefully they will integrate apps2sd for the Droid sometime soon!

  16. Vince Oveson says:

    Great vid Carlos — I'm new to Android, so I haven't ever tried a custom mod. My question is, if I install this Cyanogen mod on a Nexus One, what happens when an android OS update is released? Will I still get the update right away OTA?

    Thanks, and keep up the great work.

    Great video, can you do one on the Enomther's Theofficial nexus1 Rom

  18. Brock Allen says:

    I bet the IE 6 was integrated mainly as a joke.

  19. andrew says:

    hi, i just have some quick questions.
    i have the previous version of cyanogen rom, and when i go to the website i see an update to the radio(?) and google addons(?). do i need to upgrade these as well? and do i need to wipe my phone if i do? thanks!

  20. jody bowles says:

    i've downloaded cyanogen 5.0.5.3 and eversince i get alerted twice when I get new text messages. I get the new style icon and the older style envelope icon when I get messages and it beeps twice for each one and it is only one message. any reason why this would happen?

  21. Carlos Graves says:

    You won't get the OTA, no, you will have to wait until Cyanogen (or any other developer) gets their hands on it and incorporates it into their ROM.

  22. Carlos Graves says:

    sure hope so! lol

  23. Carlos Graves says:

    You don't need to update anything except for the ROM, and when going from Cyanogen ROM to Cyanogen ROM, there is no wipe required :)

  24. tim says:

    hey carlos,
    what time and weather widget are you using on your home page?
    i like the way they look, nice and simple.

  25. Carlos Graves says:

    It's the Beautiful Smaller Home in the Beautiful Widgets pack available from the Android Market. :)

  26. christianfurnes says:

    Hey Carlos!

    Two questions;

    Apps2SD, where do I activate this? Atm its just dark text..

    and

    Im a norwegian user, and atm I can only download free apps from the marked. Do you (or any one else) know how I can get access to the whole marked?

  27. joshua says:

  28. symocho says:

    Flash the Google Addon package found on the same link from above.

  29. symocho says:

    You have to disable message retrieval in the stock messaging app.

  30. Gib Wallis says:

    Hi, thanks for the overview!

    I installed mine a few days ago. I checked the SD app storage, and I have the option, but it's grayed out.
