Grid?

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)
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.

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.

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.
So some of you may or may not remember a little old blog called Color Me Android from back in the day that was a screenshot based site. Well, it went down some months ago, and that was that. However. I tried to put a theme on my phone the other day (It's supposed to be so simple with the theme chooser, yeah?). Unfortunately, because it's so easy with CM7 and MIUI theme engines, that themes are EVERYWHERE. It takes you about a bloody hour just to find one.
So, I brought CMA back.
As a theme site.
It's a visual directory of all CM7/MIUI/ADW - type themes. It's in Open Alpha, and I'm inviting people to come, register, sign in, submit screenshots (Yes, I kept the orignal screenshot part of the site there) and help me find bugs while I finish adding themes. I've got 45 on the site so far. And I'm working my way down that ginormous list of themes that stickied in this forum.
So yeah.
Thoughts/comments/bugs?
or themes you want to see on the site? Tell me below.
http://colormeandroid.com
Sweet man thanks for bringing this back. Its great to have a easier way of finding themes and such.
sick idea. i'll deff be there alot as long as all the themes from miui get added there and lockscreens. =]

Once you register and log in there's a submit screenshot link that pops up so you can submit and view screenshots (a glorified 'post your homescreen' thread - but it's just like old school cma [hopefully])

I already have the "official" themes there, and I'm going through the miuiandroid forums to find more. It's gonna take a while to catch up.
Also - I am looking for people to help me add themes. So if you're interested, respond

Sorry, to prevent spam screenshots are sent in as a draft, and have to published by an editor (me). Otherwise people would just fill the form with crap. And it hasn't been notifying me, so I apologize for that. Also - the syntax for posting an image is the image tag in html not bbcode
so

Thanks for all your hard work.
AH. I got my new phone and then went to your site to find some nice styles but noticed its changed a bit.
Am right in thinking the old site was more customised home screens than themes?.......If so is there anyway to see them again because thats what I really liked. People saying what widgets they used and custom graphics to make cool buttons etc.
But still the site is good! Maybe have an option to go back to the old version aswell?

Yes, it used to be a screenshot based site. I am going to be bringing that functionality back in the near future. However, I am still working on finding decent hosting. I can't afford anything so I'm looking for a sponsor. Until I find one, production is at a standstill. But yes, the screenshot portion of the site is going to be at screens.colormeandroid.com when I get everything set up eventually.
u had some epic **** back in those nexusOne days!
Hey, I truly truly truly miss Color Me Android. I saw the new site up a little bit ago. Is it back down again? Also, will there be a way of getting the old themes/screen shots back? Like archived? Anyways, Hope to see this again soon, I need inspiration for my Droid!

Hello everyone!
This is a thread I'm restarting about Flat Candy Icons which is an icons set I released on Google Play a couple of days ago.
The thread was closed down because I hadn't included a free APK.
Sorry guys! I didn't realise the policy! Here's a free apk I can give you guys to try out!. It's an early version of the icon pack that I tested with some users before deciding to continue, there are about 95 icons I think and you can apply them via launcher settings to check them out!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v3lzspcznhhle3w/FlatCandyIcons.apk
This is my first thread here on XDA, however I have frequented the forums here for the past few years and I'm grateful for all the help I've found amongst the community.
If this thread is in the wrong place, please let me know so that I can move it.

I really do love your icon set but let's hope it doesn't land up in trouble again. Since, XDA policy mentions that it should be an equivalent version of your icon pack. Keep up your great work on. :beer:

I understand if you want to close the thread because providing the full version for free means not earning a profit and having people just not pay a cent for the icon pack. But hopefully you can make a new thread just to keep us updated on the app and new icons you're adding to each update.

OK sure I'll do that. I just won't put the link in the thread this time. I'm still a bit worried that might be breaking the rules still. It's always the problem with forums as large and diffuse as this one, the way it all works eventually becomes quite confusing to new users, even though long term users might find it simple.
Thread closed - OP request!
Only chose the top originals as listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...dex-google-nexus-5-roms-kernels-mods-t2475401
This should help give people a starting point for the most popular ROMs people are choosing.
If you wish to give the main reason you are running the ROM that you are, please do. There may be some commonality among certain ROMs-- one people like for features, another for battery life, buglessness, etc.

well, I'm trying to make this as sanitary as it can be. On some forums this info was public knowledge, all the major ROMs had their own subforum and with a count beside the link that had the number of clicks within (arbitrary timeframe, perhaps the last 30 days or so). It helped weed out the fluff ROMs that don't really accomplish much unique. Over the months it became simple to see which ROMs people where more or less likely to choose given a fresh slate. It's a good thing for development because developers can more easily see which ROMs they want to support with their efforts.

I'd agree this is kind of pointless. And just because a sub forum had fewer clicks doesn't mean many didn't truly enjoy it.
Going by that standard we should all be driving Ford F150 trucks in the U.S. since it's the number 1 selling vehicle every year.
