[Q] Question on ROM

Hi there !
I got my first Android (HTC WildFire) so can imagine I'm noob to these. I rooted the phone everything works fine now. I tried the CyanogenMod 6.1.0 (Stable) for HTC Buzz it works great but the main problem is the Location services is not detecting my location(India). GPS was enabled. Then the next problem was HTC take atleast 5 - 6 mins to reboot everytime. The Live Wallpapers just says it's loading and I left there for 30 mins still no improvement. So went restore the backup before i installed the ROM. So I wanted to know is there a way to fix this so i can use CyanogenMod If not then could you suggest me a ROM that has HTC Sense in it. I really like the features.
Thanks in advance,
Shyam

If u want sense... stock 2.1, wildpuzzle 2.1 (more performance than stock but more bugs) or modaco's 2.2 are the way imo.
As far as non-sense roms none do it for me, I guess I'm a sense whore lol

Thanks Mate ! In your opinion which is good ROM without HTC Sense ?

I had a hero before wildfire and it was always between cyanogen and vanillainRom. I learnt then that I really love sense so since getting my wildfire I've stayed with sense based roms so I can't really say. Just nandroid and try I guess
even the most talented devs were noobs once... so there's hope for the rest of us!

openfire v2.3 has worked well for me, although im also looking for a 2.2 rom with sense that actually works

Done with Cognition, which other ROM shall I try?

Lately release schedule, quality and support of Cogntion went sour. I want to try some other ROM and wondering if somebody switched from Cognition to some other ROM and still had a good quality experience.
My wishlist is very simple really:
1. I want ROM to lilst "Russian" as supported language on handset.
2. Stable ROM
3. Good battery life (don't care about overclocking and stuff like that)

Wrong forum kiddo

This should be in Q&A btw . Not in development . No trolling intended .
Honestly , just try out all the ROMs out there . The best 2.2 ROM i've tried was FireFly , but atm , I'm on the MIUI port for the Captivate .

339 post and still posting on the wrong sub-forum? I hope you really mistaken this as the Q&A
but back on topic, I'm on Continuum v4 with speedmod, its pretty good.

You should try them all and see which one suits you. If you want Russian language support I would recommend going to i9000 section and checking out some of those roms too. Or you could flash a different CSC file (one with Russian) with Odin. I like this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Obviously, you'll have to do some heavy tweaking, but I find that starting with a good base and customizing yourself is the best way to go.

Im gonna go ahead and suggest either firefly or serendipity

For me, Continuum v4 un-themed has been the best. BUT your mileage may vary . I love the i9000 modem speeds.

without a doubt cyanogen mod 7. It is very stable in my opinion, battery life gets me well through the day..and it's just so fast... longest i've ever stayed on a single rom.

I have tried them all . I also like cog. But now i use firefly. You should give it a try u might like it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Just like others, I suggest you try them.
As for personnal opinion, I like Team Phoenix's work (FireFly being my top) but there's also A3 that is extremly stable and very stock styled.
Also Seren by MM is something you might wanna take a look at.
Then again, just my personnal opinion and I think you should try many before choosing the one that suits you the best

Andromeda3 without a doubt

Yeah this does belong in q&a but im sure everyone is in a good mood rite now. But im sure a good gingerbread rom will drop in the next few days

Paragon has always been my favorite for the captivate, lots of themes and its always been stable for me..

Not development but if you're not falling into the 2.2.1 or cm7 crazes get andromeda. It is probably the best quality of any rom period.
Way better than cog ever was. Just swap the modem for kc1.
I also like the work from dagr8. He was an andromeda dev.
2.2.1 may benchmark faster than 2.2 but andromeda is the only captivate rom built from captivate (i9010 armani)sources that was developed by a team of devs. There was a lot of work put into it. And coming from cognition you are not loosing anything only gaining.

Dragon RC7 is also an awesome rom! I suggest Suckerpunch voodoo #12 with cfq scheduler if you go this route. I switch between the two every other day. Just can't decide which is better. Though I am bent toward andromeda.

Thread moved.

There are just too many ROMs, i897 + i9000, I cannot even possibly try them all

[Q] The Search for the next Rom!

Hi there folks,
So I've used Darkyy's mod for a while on my Samsung Captivate as well as I've used the stock rom.
I'm looking for a new rom because Darkyy's mod is kinda buggy, unresponsive and can get really lagged down . I'm currently running 9.2 Extreme Edition. I'm looking for a new rom for my phone, so I've decided to ask the public what their favorite rom for the Samsung Captivate is so I can pick a new one and hopefully find one I love!
So what is your favorite rom?

continuum v5. best rom i have ever used so smooth even without lagfix

I also love the continuum v5, though it may be too adventurous for some. I have used FireFly for the longest time before continuum.

+1 best rom so far. Great battery life with gingerbread experience. Less buggy then CM7 and MIUI (atleast for me)
sent from my cappy rocking gingerbread

if u want something that works, stable and has flies - go with firefly
It's still on 2.2 but it works amazingly well! Smooth as butter with alot of customization!
Atleast, I suggest you try it

Lol at the guys suggesting gb for a reliable and stable rom, I tried it for a while, no matter what rom I tried on gb, if the screen was in landscape mode and turned off, when I went to unlock it I would get a hot reboot. I say wait for gb to stabilize/get a little easier to flash (not that it's all that hard)
Go with firefly..stable as a table.

Continuum looks pretty nice actually. Plus I found a theme for it I love haha. I might try it.
Any others besides Continuum & FireFly?

These threads are lame. Best ROM is soooooooo subjective. What works for one does not necessarily work for all. Try them until you find one you like. Best bet is to read the ROM thread in Dev and see what kind of problems the ROM is having and decide if you can live with it. Expect this thread to be closed soon.

I've been on continuum 4 for a few days no and it's been good to me so far, I was on speed-n-looks limelight before that and it is good if you like the green. I might actually go back cuz it is really smooth and quick, plus he just updated.
Sent from my captivate using XDA App

Thought I would stress that if u choose to flash a Samsung based gb rom like continuum, it will change ur bootloader and if u want to go back to anything other rom, (miui, cm7, 2.2 roms, etc) u will have to reflash the original bootloader.
There are two ways that I have heard of doing this:
1. Simply flash bootloader from full version of Odin
2. Flash to 2.1 then use kies to flash stock 2.2 and u should have the original bootloader again
Hope i helped!
EDIT: and just thought I'd mention that my favorite rom so far is miui. Just my opinion tho and i would only suggest flashing if u really know what ur doing and can solve some problems on ur own

Best rom threads = closed. Since what's best for you it's possible it will not be the best for me...so you will have redundant posts, flaming and else.
Try them and make your own personal choice.

best custom rom

so recently i flahed darkys 10.2 EE by the way it was my first time flashing custom roms however the rom started up very fast and it was very stable but after two days it started laging and randomly frezzing and reboting when using TW launcher some time when playing games, any ways i want a suggestion for another rom to flash which is stable fast and can use tw 4

Try cm7 or miu

I'll second surface. Seems to be one of the more stable JVR roms out there. Just make sure you follow the flashing instructions to the letter or you'll have problems.

I think the question is - why a custom rom? What do you want in a custom rom? Look through the specs and make your choice. For me, stock JVR, rooted with twlauncher 4.5 from frogger. does everything I want.

Another S.U.R.F.A.C.E fan here. V3.1 In combo with Talon or semaphore It´s perfect, stable 100%.

I just got hit by a tornado! Slim, fast and clean! Best I've tried so far. Only been a couple days but I am really impressed. These guys really know what they're doing.

about which rom you are talking

Try galaxy sense 0.6.
Experience htc sense on your galaxy. For those of you who think they are stuck with samsungs touchwiz, try this htc sense 2.1 it's infinitely better (in my opinion ).
This rom is work in progress but i have just tried it and is getting very close to my experience on my old htc desire. There are a few bugs as of now but the developer appears to be getting very close to a complete version.
Try it, there will be no going back!!

Tornado ROM JVR (look in my signature to get it)
The first and fastest ODEX based JVR Custom ROM
Contains a addon app so you get to decide what app stays and what goes. (remove and add feature)
Combined with the Tornado kernel it is pretty damm quick and responsive.
Supports ext2 / ext4 / rfs
CWM now converts to ext2 and has the goodies like OC / OV

Hello,
I started a thread like this a couple of days ago and then decided to whack on Galnet MIUI. I gotta tell u, i love this ROM, I don't think I'll ever change from it. The reason why I didn't get it before was that you needed Froyo bootloaders but with the new 'twooey' named ROM, you can just install it like any other gingerbread ROM.
It's really quick, amazingly customisable. The themes are great and all the new features leaves your phone feeling like a brand new thing, you have to explore all the options and settings again.
Before this ROM, I'd tried most gingerbread ROMs and I prefer this by far.
Anyway, hope you find the ROM your looking for

No it's definetely not laggy.
As for the battery, I've seen a lot worse. I mean, It's not great, but you can still get 1 1/2 days out of it with moderate usage. But bare in mind my battery isnt fully calibrated yet, I'm hoping it will go up to 2-3 days after a few charging session.
I would say, make sure you give it a go before making your mind up about it.
Another plus for it is it's based on CyanogenMod which means it's constantly in development whereas Samsung based ROMs more or less have to wait for Samsung to release new beta roms to continue development in the same way.

[Q] Best ROM for INCS?

Anyone able to tell me which is the best rom for the incs?
I really want cyanogenmod but there's the camera problem being so laggy and im always getting late txts and people aint able to call through even though it says I have full reception is there a fix to this issue besides flashing a new radio cause im unable to do that atm due to my hboot being ver 1.16.0000
Im currently using Android Rev HD and its ok but battery life fails. any roms better than ARHD?
Thanks

Its been asked befor, and the threads usually ends up beeing closed because its the same as asking: what color is the prettiest?
You can't answer that becuase its a matter of personal taste and not fact...
And then there is the whole matter about Sense or no Sense, speed or battery life, new features or stablity...

arhd: most stable..
u can try nik's rom: very cool visuals and sense 3.5
rcmix rom is released too try that one too

to the op...
you are gonna get various answers from people because everyone has different preference/taste. for me, arhd and vu2.39 have been rock solid. it's weird that you're having battery issues with arhd. it's one of the best roms in terms of battery life. there are numerous things you can do to improve battery life. i'm not gonna go into it here since it will take all day and it's been discussed to death. go to the first post in the arhd rom thread and scroll down to the faq section. under the very first question, there are a couple of links to guides that will help you improve battery life.

I'm using CyanogenMod at the moment, but if you want a Sense ROM, I've had great experiences with Nikhil007's Sensation XL.. It was super stable and I got great battery life out of it.

the virtuous team just released their sense 3.5 rom: virtuous affinity. you can find it in the dev section. i've been using it for the last few hours. it's awesome. as expected from the virtuous team.
there are a couple of things missing when comparing to VUv2.39 though...crt animation, extended quicksetting. therefore, my vote for best rom still goes to VUv2.39, only until the virtuous team adds the features i just mentioned to the new rom

Yes, I am a big fan of Virtuous Unity v2.39. I install that, then use ROM Cleaner to scrub off traces of useless HTC stuff, then use OC/UV Beater to underclock (245 Mhz to 998Mhz) and undervolt. My battery drain when idle as reported by Battery Monitor Widget hovers around 19-22mA, which is great! Note that current drain for IncS seems to be reported wrongly using Battery Monitor Widget - we can't get values like 4mA or 6mA compared to other phones like DHD. Cheers!
---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------
Going to try the new Virtuous Affinity ROM in a couple of days after seeing what the other users have to say about it. And there's a new ROM from RCMix3D too! So many roms to try.. =)

Actually there is no best ROM...But there are few most famous ROM... like ARHD, CM7, Nik Trinity Sensation XL and bla bla bla...
Is totally depend on personality, some people like sense some people not...
So ask yourself what you need?
Pretty look? Long Battery life? or what....
If you like sense... maybe can test it out Nik ROM... is cool and i am using it, so far stable and smooth, battery life for me is good too...

Trust us : Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL v 1.5.
Very stable, smooth..

to determine this question... is just simply ask yourself.. what do you want..
Ram?quadrant score? CM7
HTC newest sense? with 3.5rom
just for root and want to get a better 2.1 sense?
there is a lot that which requires your preference..
I dun think CM7 is very smooth.. just similar to those adjusted sense rom by yourself with suitable kernel.

Try Nik Rom

for sense 3.5, try nik's rom. a few bugs still but some people swear by it. or virtuous affinity. can't go wrong with virtuous.

for non-sense, cm7 or miui.

Main question u wanna ask urself is do u want sense or not and if so do u want the latest sense? Personally one of the reason's I bought an HTC is HTC sense, otherwise I would have bought a Samsung or Sony Ericson or something like that. Sense= ehab, VU or Niks Trinity xl which is what I'm using...new version out very soon..No sense=arhd etc. Flash a couple, back them up and switch between them to see which u prefer. Whatever u decide, this will become very addictive!
