Hey XDA,
I'm curious if anyone here is using a Rogers ICS Base for any of the custom ROMs. I would like to get off stock since I can feel a significant decrease in speed. My main concern is working Wifi Tethering using any custom ROM while using a Rogers Base.
Thanks in advance!

I'm currently considering rooting but before I do so and try out different roms I want to know if there's a rom that is basically the official 2.1 version but with the ability to utilize the apps for OC and WiFi tethering. Important that sense is present and that all included features are fully functional. I want to know about this so that I can have something similar to the official version to start out with.

If you use your phone for work and hange no backup flashing roms can be risky. Make sure you read allot prior to flashing. There is no one answer

I suggest you you a captivate based ROM.. probably Cognition 2.3b8! it is highly stable and totally captivate based! If you want to go furthur than captivate based there are many I9000 based ROMs... I suggest Darkyy's 8.0 ROM with Hardcore's speedmod kernel and UGJL2 Modem...
I've always wondered what is the advantage to a i9000 based ROM?
It seems like people are running into functionality problems, but aren't really getting any additional features...

That just is not the case. The i9000 roms are built from official froyo release for a galaxy s phone. Re-oriented kernels fix compatibility with the captivate. Performance is vastly improved over stock and our captivate leaked froyo. Look at the development section. There is only one captivate based rom. There are multiple i9000 roms. This is not by random chance.
Everyone can choose what they want running on their phone, or what they are comfortable with. People saying i9000 roms do not improve on anything obviously have never ran a good one

It's just the opposite.
i9000 ROMs offer:
-Improved speed
-Faster network speeds
-An abundance of themes, mods, etc. in the i9000 section
-No trace of AT&T and their filthy apps
-Android 2.2.1
-We have the kernel source for Froyo for i9000
That's just off the top of my head.
I currently have a 3g Rogers Tab GT-P1000R. Currently running Froyo 2.2. I am wanting to update it to 2.3 Gingerbread Rogers rom but am wondering if there are any negatives. In the future I would like to update to some custom roms.
Does updating it lock the bootloader or is it already locked? Any way to easily check?
Thanks.
Check my honeycomb install thread for a APK for the bootloader check and unlock. The rest, well read read read.

No problem going from gingerbread to CM 7.1 beta from the forums here on my Rogers p1000r. If you search you'll find a thread with rooted 2.2 stock firmware for Rogers too.

I am on Rogers using the Team Overcome 4.0 ROM.
It works AWESOME!!!
Stock Roms are useless to me as they are bloated and slow plus your machine is locked down. I prefer the roms that are built on the stock rom platform as the core of the rom is stable and usually all the devices work just fine.
I just recently rooted and started flashing ROMs on my T-Mobile HTC One. Something I only just noticed is that I lost the ability to make calls via wifi. Is there a ROM that will give that back to me? I don't use it often, but it would be nice to have it back.
Thanks.

This is a typical issue for custom roms. When I asked they told me that they were waiting on T-Mobile to release an update.
Only the source for 4.1.2 rom has been released, so order for that to work you will have to use a custom rom that is 4.1.2 and supports T-Mobile. Since most custom roms are now 4.2.2, that means you will have to go back through the roms older versions and run one that is 4.1.2. Basically, unless you need it badly, there is no reason to run an older rom just for that. The 4.2.2 source should be available before long and then that feature will be included in custom roms running 4.2.2 for T-Mobile.
Ah ok, that makes sense. I don't usually need it. I'm going out of country here soon, and was going to use that rather than international rates. No big deal. Thanks all!

This may be a dumb question, but in another thread abt wifi issues, I mentioned that I'm on Eclipse and my wifi works fine. Another user said that Eclipse is a stock rom, not a custom rom, and that's why I didn't have the WiFi problem.
I had to flash Eclipse so I therefore assume it's a custom rom. If this person is correct, then my question is, what is considered a custom rom? And why is Eclipse considered a stock rom?

Some ROMs are based on Stock ROM.. Without bloats....
Some change everything including the UI... Those are Custom.
This is how I was told.. :3

Eclipse is a custom ROM based on a stock build. Eclipse has been heavily modified but everything that works on stock will work on Eclipse and more.
