Did Capy's ROM for the XL get deleted or has he decided to pull out of development for this device. Tried searching and can't find the answer, although some posts seem to indicate some kind of frustration on Capy's part.
I have his ROM installed, but as there seems to be no thread any more for his ROM, it looks like I will have to look to another ROM to satisfy my flashing addiction!!! Any recommendations?
Mike
To be honest I don't know what has happened to Capy, all his threads have gone and he's gone off twitter too.
As for new roms my suggestions would be BinDroid or CoreDroid if you like heavily themed roms, or Danny from BinDroid has released some stock roms that have been tweaked. Alternatively there is WRE which is an ICS rom, now there is a couple of things with the ICS rom, not everyone can get data/3g when they have flashed it and everyone has problems with MMS and GPS doesn't seem to want to work with anything else than Google Maps and Navigation
maybe capy is preparing for ICS? who knows...
hope he will be back soon.. i really liked his ROM =)

Okay. As you can see by my post count I'm a newb to ALL of this, so please be patient.
I just recently, within the last week maybe, got a HTC Hero. I immediately updated to 2.1. (No custom rom or anything, my device is not even rooted.)
I honestly do not want a custom rom. To me they almost all look ugly and I have a feeling they're not as stable. Either way, I don't want one.
I do, however, want to overclock my phone. Is there a way to do this without getting a custom rom that removes/adds stuff?
Thank you.
To overclock, you have to root.
I think Jus10o has posted a flashable kernel that allows overclocking on any Sprint-based 2.1 ROM, including stock, but I am not sure. I imagine he'll chime in if he has.
Just out of curiosity, what is that you don't like about custom ROMs? Fresh ROM (not FreshToast) is basically the official ROM made more stable. A lot of people have a lot more problems with the official ROM than they do with custom ROMs, or so my experience has gone. Sprint and HTC fix problems once a year (it seems..) where as the devs here hop on problems with their ROMs instantly. Most get things fixed the same week they're noticed.

Okay. Thank you. I suppose my next step is to look at how to root my phone and finding that kernel..
As far as custom ROMs go, I don't see a need for one. The ONLY issue I have with my phone is the occasional lag, which I would hope to fix with an overclock. Not even sure that would help it, but I want to try it anyway.
Thanks for the help.
Sorry to sound so newbish, but i found my stock rogers rom pretty stable with alot of features already enabled.
I just tried my first other rom which was cog. It was really nice and loved the features it opened up. But i noticed its based of an att rom. Which seems very restrictive to me. it also had problems downloading a zip file from a browser while my stock rom worked.
so what im trying to ask if there is anything based off the rogers rom?
edit: sorry. i cant seem to move it
Questions go in Q&A.
Nothing personal against the OP but I wish mods started to remove thess threads without warning...the Development forums is becoming a mess of non development posts
Moved .
Hey guys, been out of the loop for a while as I've been settled on JPY for a few weeks now. However, I saw a friend flash his Desire today with Oxygen, a gingerbread-based AOSP ROM. All the SGS ROMs I can find so far are based on the stock Samsung firmware - is there any work being done on a full AOSP ROM like Oxygen or Cyanogen? I can't find any details about this anywhere.
I am very curious about this question. Because if answer is simply no, it's time to sell Galaxy S. Gingerbread will be the last update from Samsung and AOSP could be the future of this phone then CM7 for SGS seems to have big problems and it's the only AOSP ROM for SGS which I'm aware of...
What big problems?
I'm using CM7 for a month right now and it's pretty stable if i can say. Yes, it lacks some features and some bugs are not fixed yet (theres a workaround tho), but if you follow it's thread the progress they make are great. They're already into mainline, so probably it will reach RC status in a month/maybe less, who knows.
After the devs are done, i think there will be a custom ROM based on CM7/AOSP.

CM7 is getting there. And with Gingerbread coming out, that should make things easier for the dev.
Yes, but with no source then there is nothing big. GB leak, only helped them with "less" important stuff (FM radio, etc.)

Hi Guys!
I'm what you guys call "the new kid who want's to play". I have various experience in Android flashing and updating, but I still have none kind of experience in building a Custom ROM.
But I said: What the hell! Let's try it! So I took a quick lesson at Nokia7Vista's tutorial on Youtube. I don't know if I can post links, but you can find it if you want to.
Anyway, My first ROM booted, and was based on the contents of Deodexed JW1. It has only some apps included, so no big deal here. But I wanted some experience before I get to the real thing.
OK, so I finished that, and I got to the real business:
I've started searching some of the best Custom ROM's out there. I found OserX's One, GalaxyDroid and S.U.R.F.A.C.E to meet my likes. I inspired myself from there (downloaded the 3) and took some apps, system tweaks, etc from them. OserX is JVZ, the other 2 are JW1. My ROM Was based on JW1 and was Odexed (like OserX and Surface). From what I know, JVZ and JW1 are pretty much the same ROM. Still, I didn't took anything from there but apps.
I've changed my drivers to the Nexus S drivers, and the framework-res.apk to get a CRT-on/off effect (Downloaded from this site, it's for JW1).
Basically, I did some mod's that everyone has did before. Still, when I flash the ROM, it get's stuck at the Galaxy S LOGO, (not bootanimation).
What should I do? What can be the cause of this?
Thanks...
Still no answer...
Now I understand the n00bs that post in the Development Section. Here no one f(^&&^5ing listen...
And I am no N00b, I'm just new to Custom ROM's ...I've posted to the right section, and still...no answer after a couple of days! That sucks!
Try sending a pm to one of those developers.
I've never created a Android ROM (although I used to on WM6.5).
The biggest advice that I can give to you is to go slow: Try to create a ROM in small steps - one change at a time. Very ften you'll find out that two apps supposedly working ok are incompatible with each other. The same applies to drivers and changes alike. So, if version 0.01 works and 0.02 don't, it's just a matter of see what's changed and try to figure why that change caused the new ROM to stop working.
I also agree with Valinorian - try PM experienced developers - we all walked that path already. But please: one change at a time.
Just registered today but been reading the threads, I managed to install [ROM][4.3][13/08] EternityProject's CyanogenMod 10.2 for LG Optimus 4X HD
I went from upgrading the stock ICS to stock jellybean, I wasnt happy with the battery performance, so I rooted the phone on jellybean, unlocked the bootloader and installed the mention custom rom. Been using it and it works pretty, there were some random crashes with the launcher b ut after using another launcher it is pretty solid rom. So thanks to the dev and the great testers for feedback here.
The only thing that does not seem to work is bluetooth, I cant seem to pair the phone with my LG soundbar at home.. Bluetooth on stock ics and jellybean both worked fine....Is there anything I can do to resolve this?
Cheers

Please post in the QandA thread next time you have any queries bro! It's annoying some of the users a little now.
However, the 4.3 Rom you have flashed is still in Alpha Stages, it will have many bugs and i do believe Bluetooth is one of them, you will need to flash a more stable rom such as magic rom which is stock based so you can be sure 100% stability, or you can flash a 4.2.2 Rom with a 4.2.2 Kernel which should straighten it out for you!
Should be posted here in Q&A in the future! http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1651

ok cheers pal, I didnt really want to ask any questions as everthing is answered, thats how I managed to install the rom in the first place, searching through the forum.I did see some people had BT issues with the rom,
Forgive my ignorance still kind of new to flashing roms although I do flash my advent vega with your friends in tabletroms. Some good devs there...which kernel would you choice to use with that rom?
Ignore, misread the question
