So as the title says, which are you using? And why?
And would you recommend it? Answer in the thread AND the poll.
Let me start, I'm using LinuMint 12 and i use it because it is the OS that I create My custom ROM's on, and becuase its fast. I recommend it to ROM makers. 10/10 stars
Your turn
The Minty freshness without a doubt. Why?
I've been a member on the forums there for a few years now, learning and helping and they are a great bunch of guys - generally a better place than the Ubuntu forums.
Although I have stuck with Mint 10 - as I found no benefit to the later versions (either Mint or the Ubuntu it is based on) and more than a few problems, I would thoroughly recommend Mint to anyone trying to get to grips with Linux.

You had a question about linux. If you post in there, it gets bumped up and everyone who has posted in it will read the new post. Therefore getting more exposure to people in the know. Also, you keep the board cleaner by not cluttering it up with more threads on the same subject, and then threads get lost in the clutter. Just one of the rules in online forums. Search, look around, post in threads of the same subject. It's even in the XDA noob video.

You're not causing any trouble. Just letting you know. A lot of new guys think that I will surely get noticed if I start a new thread. But really it's quite the opposite. You get more attention and answers when posting in existing thread. Plus on top of that, it keeps the place clean.

If I had to choose from those two, I would say Ubuntu. I'm running it on one of my laptops that everyone plays with. But when it really comes down to it, I'm more of a RedHat and Backtrack kinda guy. They are way better for getting your hands dirty.

Hey all,
As the Captivate becomes more popular, I'm seeing more and more ROMs pop up. Problem is, I can't quite figure out the differences between most of them. They all seem to have the exact same features.
Currently on the front page I see:
Cognition
Perception
AXURA
Assonance
di11igaf's ROM
eSPyeL's ROM
As I look through the features, most of it looks pretty similar. So my question is, can anyone break down the key differences between the ROMs? While we're at it, maybe we can discuss the different kernels too?
This belongs in Q & A not in development please!
We need to keep this area clean for development threads only.
Regards
Ugh, sorry. I feel like a dumbass.

Of course you are too late, look, that other guys has flames in his sig, you know he means business when flaming! lol
Anyway, read the OP on each rom, they all have different things
To the Q&A!!
Thecoolestcow has a good point... plus 90% of the posts in the dev threads are 'omg I can't wait'/'hey good job'/'wah wah im a noob' .
Seriously...1000 pages on a dev thread... that's beyond useless.

I make it a point to come to Q&A and try and help.
The problem is the overwhelming number of ZOMG WUT DU I DOOOO threads that push valid questions down to oblivion.
410 views and nobody has answered his question.
As far as I know (which may contain incorrect information), each rom is built off the same base rom. There are captivate based frameworks and i9000 based frameworks. Then there are kernels and models.
Some roms emphasize stability, they do not use the latest overclocked kernels, they stick to stock filesystems etc. Other roms emphasize the latest breakthroughs in Galaxy S modifications (1200-1600mhz OC/UV, speedtweaks, filesystem changes). Another rom may emphasize reduced-bloat, everything is stock but theres no crapware. And on top of it all, everyone mixes and matches kernels and modems (but most are on JK3 and i9000 Kernels, though most use SeitroN's and DG has his own). On top of all that, developers apply themes that they like (all of which you can customize yourself).
I hope that helped. I haven't researched deeply into each rom, but this is just what I've deducted.
Poll : Which Custom Rom you are running?
Not trying to be funny, but many people here change roms more than they changed their underwear. So the poll will be flawed.
Very true. I was on Doc's a couple days ago, then went to Darky's 9.5, and yesterday changed to Simply Galaxy Sweet Honey
1) Is this post development? I don't think so.
2) Is this post necessary? I don't think so.
3) As previously stated, is this poll accurate? I don't think so.
Why bother?
Yes you are right that people are always on the move.....I know this will be not 100% accurate but at least at this instance of time it can give us an idea (say 80% accuracy) about Market Trend (means popularity of rom) at this time (lets say Mar/Apr 2011) with current available ROMs. It may change in a month or two. But then in next quarter we may run another poll...

This thread should be in General.. that's why you'll not have a good answer here. (It's typically "noobish" to post questions or poll here, unless it's for developping something by yourself or with some dudes..)
And, on my opinion that's useless, all custom rom or more or less the same : A Sammy Rom deodexed and zipaligned, changements are tweaks... it's made me laugh when in themes OP specify it's for Doc's or Darkyy (of course it will works on both, only version/region is important).
For me no matter which rom you're using, it's Android.
If there is just one difference, it's between CM/MIUI AOSP based roms and Sammy'roms.
Same for kernels, it's just more or less functions and geeking/tweaking.

hello everyone, I recently purchased a dell streak 7 and actually love it but have been disappointed in the lack of rom development for the device. it makes me feel like i purchased the device that nobody cares about. everyday i check the development section just to see the same post. there is never anything new so i was wondering why this sub-forum still open???? I dont think we really need a whole sub-forum just to see when dj steve releases an update for the same rom. One developer should not warrant a whole sub-forum. This makes me wish i would have hung on to my g-tab.

U can just as easily leave xda .... it takes time to pick up extra developers. Learn yourself and put out your own rom !!!
I've started on it myself..... I know a few others who have too.... learning takes time ! ALSO FYI, We already have 2 different froyo builds, 1 honeycomb build, and Ubuntu partially functioning. I've talked with 2 people who have already started trying their hand at gingerbread. Nothing official there yet though.
Most of us have jobs and families..... time isn't so abundant. If u have the time then do something about it and stop complaining
Donating to developers is also an incentive ........
PS
mods please move this where it belongs.
avoid Android - get an Apple device

I'm starting to learn how to compile Android ICS from source, and thanks to Shen's tutorial, I'm starting to "get it".
So I do have a few questions before I get started.
1) Does the Nexus S and the Samsung Vibrant use the exact same hardware?
2) Can I use the Nexus S binaries listed here (http://code.google.com/android/nexus/drivers.html) for the Vibrant if question #1 is a "yes"?
I was going to buy a Nexus S or GNexus just for the purpose of learning, but if my Vibrant is basically an Nexus S, I say why not use it? It's not my daily phone.
FYI, it already has ICS Passion v9.2 on it, and has an FFC (I added it). I would just like to get started in compiling my own ROM for the sake of learning, starting a new hobby, and hopefully able to contribute to the Android community in which I have already benefitted as a ROM-flashing enthusiast.

Hi,
So i have been laghtly realy into flashing roms and ive had a few already.
-Carbon Rom
-Parandroid
-Supernexus
-CM10
Now i have been getting pretty bored with these so i whas wondering if you guys knew any new ones that are fun and good looking.
I prefer something over either the touchwiz interface because that doesnt change a lot from before i started flashing roms
Greats,
(P.S. I preffer android 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 but 4.0 is also fine with me)
Sorry for posting this in the wrong section.

You won't believe how bored developers are about posts like yours.
This is a really thankful attitude which you show for the endless hours of work the devs put in their roms.
Try to contribute something useful, help other users or stay out of dev-section.
At least learn to read, write and show some gratefulness.
Your question should be adressed to Delphic's oracle. Who the f*ck should know what you find less boring.
This will release your boredom
Want something new and exciting? Why not try "Ubuntu for phones" (http://www.ubuntu.com/phone)? That is something totally new and something which you'll not fond in the forums here. Also it will save the hard working developers here from the thankless rants.
