Hey, I'm very new to android, all this rooting, custom roms etc. Anyways. I installed this ROM. (FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock). And, I thought that Froyo 2.2.1 has Flash 10.1 by default, but it didn't, so I thought, hmm, I'll get it from market. But, it's not in the market. Could anyone of you help? I found an .apk, but when I installed it, it kept crashing my browser. Also, a question: Is the ROM I have the best one? In terms of speed, compatibility and app support? Or are there better ones?
EDIT: I pretty much need the Flash player only for watching streams - Livestream, UStream, JustinTV, Own3d.tv, ESL TV.

you can't get a stock froyo ROM with 10.1 as far as I know, however, ther chocolatefroyo ROM does have 10.1 running, but it has a camera bug which stops that from working. For now, you will have to choose between camera and flash.

There is no 'best' ROM, but it definitely isnt the stock one... I am running FroydVillain and I love it
The full Flash 10.1 is not possible on the Hero, the nearest you can get is Flash Lite which is only part of Sense ROMs. I'm not sure what its limitations are but you're best to just take a stable Sense ROM and find out, then see if it suits your needs.
Have yet to find a gingerbread rom worth permanent daily use the closest in my opinion was firerats magpie but for some odd reason i cant get Gapps working right for it when flashed(terminal emulator is always missing)
which GingerBread Or Froyo Rom do yall think is the most customizable and stable?
TBH, I think all ROMs are about the same as far as customization and stability. (this is just my own opinion)
Now it come down to what you would like best between GB, Froyo, etc... That is different. Currently I like the Froyo build ROM. It seem to be running fast (for me). I didn't even bother with flashing the GAPPS, after I flashed the ROM I just went into the market and download the google apps that I neeeded (IE: GMail, Google+). Since I don't use all the google apps.
Don't know what you meant on the Terminal Emmulator. I always have it in all the ROM I flashed.
Currently I am using NameLessFroyo ROM (see my sig for ROM link) as of yesterday for my daily use.
Personally FBL is the best to me. I have it Metamorphed to look like Gingerbread, Sense3.0 Font, apps to EXT,I use Zeam launcher *Can't install my LP Plus since LP is the system launcher*.
A good GB rom is dw9009 *or somthing like that* His ROM is 100% pure CM7 Just like you'd get on a offical ROM. Then Sisterchick made a Barebones version of it called DietCm7. It just saves a lot of space, and runs on the phone it's self and not the Swap.

I don't really know how to remove TouchWiz, and I don't like it. I know that I can remove its launcher from system/app/, but and the full app?

The most effective way is to flash a TW-free ROM onto the Tab, such as Boca (I think that might be CDMA though, so check up on it first). Beyond that, it would be really tricky to remove completely. For example, all Samsung-based ROMs (excluding CM7, for example) will generally use a twframework-res.apk in addition to the usual framework files to control the Android UI, so just deleting those files would cause problems.
Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, the best option is to simply find a TW-free ROM and flash that instead.
I use a custom rooted ROM, Humberos, it's a good, very stable ROM, but still has TW. I have a GT P1000L, not CDMA, but latin version with TV. I can't use CM7 because it hasn't TV support. I've heard that I can't connect Wii Controller (my main problem) because I have TW, and CM7 makes it connect.
Thanks, but I will wait for a latin ROM without TW (Gingerbread or ICS), hoping someone creates this.

Hi there!
I must say I'm very disappointed with my 2 year old Galaxy S I9000. Reboots, stuck, UI bugs etc.
I tried any possible 2.x.x ROMs (gingerbread). It works fine ~2 months, then start to randomly reboot, lag and etc.
I'm thinking about moving to ICS or JB (??) ROM. Preferably clean ROM from Google with/without 3d party developers modifications (without any samsung crap, or touchwiz or whatever). I though about CM9 but now I read that Slim ICS is better and more stable.
The first thing I need from a phone, is to be a PHONE! i.e. send and receive calls and sms. WiFi and 3G is very important, GPS is very important. Those are the important-mandatory-must-have-must-work things.
Secondary things I want from a phone is to be a decent photo camera (rarely take videos, but not going to give up on this feature), music player, support for external sd card.
Languages does not matter to me, I use English interface. Ability to support RTL languages correctly will be a bonus. Preferably a clean ROM without any forced application (like custom launchers or etc, give me the opportunity to select my launcher please) OR a ROM with pre installed application but with ability to remove them.
Any suggestion to any ROM and kernel combinations will be appreciated!
Thank you a lot!
You can try downloading two roms at a time and put that in your root of sd, so in case 1 fails to qualify you can quickly switch to another rom thru recovery. I'm using aokp for my nexus, maybe its good for galaxy s too.. it depends on personal taste.

Try the latest CM9 stable rom release. Much more reliable than Sammy stock roms imo
I9000 CM10 nightly
I would recommend CM 9.1 as well. It works great and is really stable.
Sent from my Gameboy Color
If you want good battery life, stability and performance, try CM9 Stable, even better is SlimICS. From JB roms CM10 nightly... (also good ICS roms are eg. AOKP, TiramiSlim, RemICS...)
Thanks! I think Ill go with CM9 (with stock CM9 kernel) and as backup option Ill have Slim ICS on sd card.
Other suggestions will be appreciated!

I recommend JB C-RoM BeaN v1.3.4 (the latest v1.3.5 is for release already). All system applications you mentioned above are working fine, super fast and smooth, no lags. Also no Samsung Apps. Google Apps are in a separate Zip file so you can choose to install them or not.
I'm using this RoM now and I can say this is the best RoM I have ever used compared to GB, ICS, and other JB Roms I've flashed.

I would suggest RemICS 1.3.1, combined with Semaphore 1.2.6s....very good battery life, good management of RAM.
Very good for daily usage...
Try this rom. You wont be disappointed. It's Gnexus port, very smooth and stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776738

You can also try SLIM BEAN V2.2 for I9000, it is also very good for daily use with great battery backup.
thanks.

Either Gamerzrom v11 (Gingerbread) or Team nyx rc5 (ics). I'm on gamerzrom v11 and I'm waiting for v12.:laugh:
I would have to submit my vote for Gamerz v11. I have been using it for a really long time and have had no issues. Right now I'm almost at 7 days battery life with data turned off when I don't need it.
Hi all,
So yes, I'm a prat. A massively lucky one. Earlier in the day, I managed to successfully root and upgrade the firmware on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to CM9, specifically cm-9.1.0-n7000.zip from the Cyanogenmod website. I got it working, and all was happy, shiny and right with the world.
And then, it all went Pete Tong when I tried to flash gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip on it, which promptly tried to make it go back to the stock firmware, and then it soft-bricked. I managed to recover from this minor boo boo, but I would love to know how I get my Google and Facebook contacts on there... any hints?

Hmmm? I'd start all over.
Is there a reason why youre using CM9? [since CM10.1 is out and pretty stable].
Anyway, the Gapps you installed was meand for Gingerbread [GB] [CM7] and CM9 is based on IceCreamSandwich [ICS].
If you decide to use CM10.1 which is Jellybean [4.2] youll need to use the latest JB based gapps with that.
Anyhow, if you use the proper gapps and sign into your google account on the first boot, itll synchronize with the google server and recover your google contacts. [it probably didnt work because as you said yourself the wrong gapps was installed.]
About facebook: Im not a bookfacer myself but i reckon when you install the facebook app, the contacts will be [MAGICLY] added to your contact list.
Goodluck!

I'm using that as CM doesn't appear to have a stable monthly build for my device on 10 or 10.1. I managed to finally get the right version of GApps, and they've come down, so many thanks. So that said, can you suggest a decent stable ROM? Unfortunately my Googling for this isn't up to par, as I'm not quite sure what to look for. Yes, I'm a n00b.

I think if you look around in android development youll find quite some interesting roms.
Most if not all roms are pretty much always under construction; however that does not mean theyre not stable enough to use as a daily driver.
That being said, i myself am quite happy and impressed by Paranoid Android 3, which is based on Android 4.2.2(JB).
Make a backup using cwm recovery and just give it a try.
Goodluck.

Many thanks to all above... much appreciated! A friend suggested Jellybam, which is working like a dream and much faster than anything Samsung put together. Happy as Larry!
Well, once I turned the bottom nav bar off anyways.
