Grid?
Sent from my Captivate

I think he means a side by side comparison of each ROM based on features, modems, kernels, etc
Difficult due to the ever changing nature of each ROM and the ability to swap out kernels and modems. However, it's a good way to compare the ROMs without having to dig through hundreds of posts in the dev forum

Excellent repository of ROM details!

Little to no detail about the roms in that chart.

You'd be better off going down the threads in the dev section and reading the first few posts. I guess you could use that list click the links but other than knowing what each rom is based off, it's pretty much useless.

It does tell you kernel, modem, known issues, and release date of most current version (admittedly that part does need updated more often). Which I grieve is about 70-80% of what op asked for. What do you want it to do, install rom for you, too?

if you to other phone's forums they have stickies for available roms and their features....comparing to them...this is little less information and not properly updated....

I went to 6 or 7 other forums, and looked in the development stickies. All I saw was was a list of roms, etc. no mention of more then 1 fact about rom. Tell me again how that'd BETTER?

First time poster so I hope this is an acceptable place for this question. Can someone tell me if and which ROM is the most basic? By this I mean it is a blank slate with everything removed besides items needed to operate the phone, mms/sms, camera and internet browsing. Basically everything removed that cannot be replaced by an app from the market. I tried Preception (I think it was that one) and it was ok for a couple days and then it became unstable so I am using Serendipity.
Thanks everyone...

Stability, try andromeda, basic, go cognition. I run andromeda. There is a reason that rom has been around for so long and the dev thread is so short and always on the second or third page of the forums. Just read that thread and you will see the stabiliy.

I tried Cognition a couple months ago but something happened. Not really sure what. I think I used SGS and removed too much stuff and thought it would be easier to just reflash. I was going to go back to it but it looks like the dev may be awol from reading the thread.
I will try andromeda but I am a minimalist and would like for my phone to be the same where if I personally don't need it but it is available from the market or other means then I don't want it on my phone. (not sure if that makes sense but I am pretty new in the custom phone world)

[Q] Cool things to do with Cyan's 4.0.1

Very new to root and roms. I upgraded to 4.0.1 very soon after having 3.6.8.1.
What are some of the neat things you can do? What settings have you changed? I JUST found out that there was another keyboard other than the android touch.
I did not know where this was appropriate and did not want to junk up cyans rom thread. Hope this is okay and apologies if its not. Just want to know what other cool features I am missing out on, and to also see what settings people roll with.

Best way to get the whole story is to compare the changelog of 3.6.8.1 to 4.0.1 which is available in their respective threads. One thing that was cool was the global search function from donut but that go reverted in 4.0.1. It will probably make an appearance in the 4.x.x experimental series however.....
I should clarify, I did not have 3.6.8.1 long enough to find all the easter eggs either. What settings do you change or things do you use after flashing his rom?

Hey DirectMatrix is this going to be another thread like yesterday.
yeah i'd also like to know.. im also new to the art of the root.. i also have my own questions
i know the myfaves app doesnt work, in fact doesnt even appear lol, but the actual myfaves service still works right?
and do the im apps work? im talking about the native one. it doesnt seem to be working for me =/
also, i want my settings optimized for overall speed.. what do you guys use for this?

You don't want the mygayes app on your phone anyways, its just a hog. It still does work, if you need to set it up just go to your online account and do it.
What native im app are you talking about, its been to long since I had the factory rom installed. But I can vouch for aim and googletalk do work.
If you are on Cyanogens rom everything should be optimized to full speed.
yeah i never used the myfaves thing to begin with, thats why when i heard its gone if you root, i didnt really care lol. plus i was already planning on getting rid of the whole service anyway. but thanks!
im talking about the one that comes with the phone. has aim, msn, and yahoo. i try logging but it just endlessly keeps saying "signing in..". im not sure if i just have to wait, or if its not working.
awesome!

Direct and Supreme... you guys aren't really helping, so why post? I'm not asking how to root.... i've read the release notes.... I'm not asking anything I think is silly. I just want to know what settings you guys change and if there are any things you find particularly cool with his rom. I am embarrassed I just found out how to use the keyboard, so I guess you can pick on that... but please, do it over PM and not here.

Point taken...my appologies...Supreme and I like to keep things lighthearted and have some fun. I'm sure I speak for him when I say we both apologize for offending you.
To answer your question....I was pretty much being completely serious about reading the change logs and comparing. That's where I get most of my info but as far as settings go, I second someone else's poste about the badass power widget. I also like the 5 homescreen options, the logcollector app is nice for troubleshooting, the fact that the buld.prop file has been changed slightly means that the new version of "My Account" runs properly without any futzing around, and playing around with the text app is fun because of the mms enhancements courtesy of rgv151.
Many of the other enhancements that make cyan's ROMs awesome are behind the scenes that just make it run faster (kernel tweaks, CPU scaling etc). These have no options available to the user, they just are part of the build that contribute to cyanoganized awesomeness.

Just like Direct said we ain't tryna make fun or nothing. We do help out alot, but after a long boring day of programming at work we got to do something fun to help pass time away. And hey we really didn't even joke around unlike the other thread. Best thing to do is just play around with the phone, try out all the apps, play with the settings, and just explore. Like Direct said alot of things are behind the scenes.

If you scroll through till the end, there is a recommended list of Apps.
I strongly recommend you Follow the guide to root, enable side loading, as well lift the market restrictions that ATT has put on the phone. No reason not to.
(The section on Launcher Pro is optional, since some people seem to like TouchWiz (i used it for a while, just switched to launcherPro to try it out) )

i think a non-market app thread would be especially helpful
i found some new apps to add on to the pimp my captivate apps i wrote up. I no longer have access to my pdf but if one of you start a thread and make it look sexy, ill be glad to add some amazing new apps peeps should try.

I'll do it. Give me a few hours to get everything together.
Its my first time doing one of these, but I think if I can set it up right the first time, managing it will be fairly easy.
That said, is there a limit on how many post you can reserve? To give an ideal solution to the problem, I'd be looking at like 15 or so. Would people have a problem with this, or is that an acceptable number?
Sweet mate....not sure about the reserves Q...maybe check the Tilt 2 thread for ideas

Already did that. I've asked for permission (awaiting reply) to steal the design and I've made a few modifications to it that I think will make it easier to maintain and access. However, doing so requires a tremendous number of reserved posts. I'm trying to decrease the number by combining sections I think will have a low volume, but it will still take a large number of posts to do what I want.
Doesnt bother me at all but maybe ask a mod?
Just as an update.
I've gotten a mod's ok on reserving the number of posts in want. The only. Stipulation is it has to be organized. And I don't think that will be a problem.
I'm still waiting on a response from the Rhodium thread upkeeper, and iirc the thread was last updated in May. If I don't have a response by this time tomorroe, ill assume they've left XDA indefinitely, and will post the topic. If they later have an issue with my using a similar format, ill just edit my format.
In the mean time, ill continue working on the formatting of the thread and include a few items to see how it will look when populated. Hopefully this turns out as awesomely as I want it to.
I don't think this thread will take much more than an hour or so to maintain after it gets rolling, so keeping it up to date shouldn't be an issue by my logic. I just hope people provide all relavant information. Lol
It's not much, but id like to do my part to contribute its to a community that provides so much information and so many resources. Maybe this way I wont feel like such a leech. XD

I want to say thank you to the developers, you have made my time here fun. To the people who don't think their opinions are superior to yours, enjoy yourselves.

You may want to include a short explanation for each ROM category (AOSP, Sense, New Sense, Senseless) as well, because the differences between, say, an AOSP and Senseless ROM are difficult to understand for many newcomers.

[Q] Just got an HTC HeroC, root and update?

First post here
Had a Samsung Moment for my first android phone and had messed with it but was very unhappy with battery life. I have gotten (a used) HeroC and am looking to update to 2.2 or higher if possible as I would like to have the app2sd option since I am running out of space stupid quick. I am not looking for anything fancy although Sense would be nice to keep. So with this in mind I have 2 questions.
1. What version would you guys suggest.
2. Where is the best and easiest instructions to follow to do this.
Thanks!

First, the best advice you'll ever get on xda is search and read. Second, aospCMod 5/16 is 2.3.4 and based on CM7, it's amazing. For the sense look go into general android themes and apps and look for sense theme chooser themes in the theme chooser sticky thread. I hear NTsense is nice.

NTSense is wonderful. Combined with lpp Widgets, it is the closest you'll get to Sense without Sense.

That is where it becomes very confusing while searching. So I find the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=CDMA_Hero_ROMs which shows "aospMod - (11/5/10" but you suggest aospCMod 5/16. Also I am seeing references to radios? I do not recall stuff like that when I was messing with my Moment.
Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand fully before I do this. I am not planning on getting into trying a bunch of different ones, I want to pick something that is solid and reliable and does not break anything. I see some references to the camera and other things not working sometimes.

I do not recall stuff like that when I was messing with my Moment.
Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand fully before I do this. I am not planning on getting into trying a bunch of different ones, I want to pick something that is solid and reliable and does not break anything. I see some references to the camera and other things not working sometimes.

This wiki will get you going in the right direction for a load of aosp's gingerbread rom.
Then you can use the NTSense theme to get your sense feel like others have said.

Thanks poashll. Was able to follow and almost everything is running smooth. VVM not working but I know there is a fix for that, just hard to understand the instructions. My other issue I want to get fixed is with the clock. I can pull it up but if I try to set an alarm it force closes. I find no threads on this issue.
(had to remove your link as forum thinks I am spamming :/

aosp just dropped a new ROM, grab that one, it's 5/23.
Thanks for the heads up! That fixed the issue with the clock. Still working on getting Sprint vvm working. Ustream app is also broke with this but that is not a big concern.

Combining of G2x and Optimus 2x threads. Lets just do it.

Seems there is enough similarities of the phones, if not Exact....that the threads could be combined.
The reason I think it is critical to combine is that it becomes a hassle to check each thread to see what is good info...we have double postings essentially having two groups talking and solving the same problems.
Since the phones are the same hardware, you could argue that each custom ROM could have its own group. To me: same hardware = same group
I am fine with locking this thread....if I knew how to go about it.
My vote goes for: NO. Keep them as is. Two groupings

Curious to why?....I obviously can not think of a reason to not combine.
Incompatible OSs. That settles it for
now.

Incompatibale OS
Incompatible RIL
So active users like me, have to warn 1321312434324+ people to double check what model they have beforce flashing.
Also this may give 12312342424+ bricked phones....
Not until there is a way to make the Rom's compatible for both phones and the majority of dev's implement it. The fact that we can't run the leaked gingerbread G2X Rom says it really
No, they need to be seperate as the software isn't compatible.
same outside, different inside. it's a NO for me.

Guys, this is why recovery supports "assert(getprop)" to prevent software being installed on the incorrect phone. This is why you can't install CM for a Desire on a Nexus One.
Also, it's pretty easy to label stuff.
So I think that reason is invalid.
However, I do think there should be two dev sections and common Q&A/General/Themes & Apps sections.
But then I look at all of the nonsense posts that go on in the G2x section and think perhaps we're lucky...
Nevertheless, I voted in the poll.

I'm aware of what is possible, but it makes no sense, don't want to be bothered with the G2X stuff and clog op this forum

It's not just that, the differences mean an answer for something on the O2X can cause problems for a G2X.
If I told someone to install CMR via ROM Manager, turn their phone off hold vol- and power up, on an O2X it would boot into recovery, on a G2X it would wipe the phone as ROM Manager fake flashes.
Why isn't this thread closed already? It's clear the two phones are different, and everyone agrees.

Exactly

When this O2x thread open it was getting hammered with G2x questions etc which people with O2x didn't want to see or know about, if you wanna look at G2x go to there forum
I DONT WANNA SEE G2X

Yes would be fine to lock it...
If you want information about the G2X just click to the particular forum ;-)
A post without sense...
Please close it just waste of bandwidth
