I've just discovered the existence of ANT+ sensors which look like they can do great things for the cyclist.
They require a USB adapter and therefore a phone supporting USB OTG , which I believe has been enabled by some ICS roms.
It's been a while since I've been messing with alternative roms and I'm running an Alliance , darky derived rom currently. Could anyone advise on a good ORG enabled rom to try this with?
Would I also need to get around google play's device compatibility sensorship (w00t a pun!)
EDIT: jeex I've been out of the rom scene for a while, didn't even know about JBs! I want a stable rom though, are they safe?
Wrong section. Another one. Don't post in development section please. There's a general and Q&A section. -.-
Thread reported . Should be moved soon.

Hello everybody...
I have a Galaxy Tab P1000 working on 2.3.3 and CWM installed.
I want to go on ICS but, honnestly, I really don't know what to do
Cyanogen, AOKP, Overcome... :silly::silly:
So, what's the differences ? I'm reading, reading, reading... and it seems to be hard to understand what bring each mod instead of installing one (your tutorials are really easy to understand for a newbie like me).
I don't want a mod where something doesn't work. My tablet is working fine actually and I don't want to screw something so... what's the best ICS mod for a P1000 ?
Thanks for your advices (and sorry for my poor english )
Two major problems.
1) best rom thread isn't allowed in xda. Try them out and find out yourself.
2) there is a q&a subforum for questions (but not for best rom question)

I tend to disagree with your response priyana. He is not asking for the "best" rom, just the differences. My suggestion is to read the development thread for each and try them out for yourself.
The best way to work out the one for you is to dive in and try them out.

Well, if your are asking for stable roms, then cm 9.1 and aokp milestone 6 are the options. dont ask for best roms.
I agree with stimpz0r that this isn't a best ROM thread, the OP is just asking the differences between the types of ROM. As long as it stays that way and doesn't become a best ROM thread then it's fine to stay. Have moved to Q&A where it belongs.
In answer to the question, as tiresome as reading and testing can be, don't give up with the reading as it's the most important part of being on XDA as so much information is available. The 1st few posts of the development threads tend to give you an overview of what's included but the main ROM types you get will be:
Custom stock - based off official ROM's with tweaks
AOSP (Android Open Source Project) - based off Google source code
CM - which is a modified AOSP experience with customisations, bug fixes etc
AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) - similar to CM as uses lots of aspects of CM but offers far more customisation options for the user
Ahem... 1st post, 1st fault
I wasn't asking for the "best rom over all the others", but more for a little help to know what kind of rom I have to look for, really sorry for the mistake.
Usually, I try to learn by myself reading on forums or on the net, but the hard part with Android (at least for me) is that a rom can work with a device but not with another who has the same Android version :silly::silly::silly:. It's not like a video game console, a PS3 is a PS3, a Wii is a Wii, no major change between the 1st and the last serie.
Thanks for your answers. I'll keep reading , but this time I'll look toward CM and Aokp first .
We all learn by reading and you'll see in my post I was siding with you
The best part of this forum is how much you learn off other members and the like-minded people you get to talk to. We were all new once so once you pick up things slowly but surely you'll also be able to share what you've learned back with so many new users always joining :good:
I was looking into Jelly Bean ROMs here, and I couldn't find anything that's working as I had hoped for.
Or I just didn't look through stuff on here in more detail.
So I was looking at some 'light' ROMs and found SlimBean, but it only seems to support i9000 (as listed here) whereas I'm running i9001.
Here comes the stupid question - would it work or not?
I kind of want to test that out, because the ROMs I used previously didn't have a working microphone (which I kind of needed for making calls) so I'm thinking this one would have a working one and would have a decent amount of Project Butter.
So anyway, what JB ROM would you recommend? It doesn't have to be 'slim', as long as most stuff works on it.
Hi,
most or nearly all roms wont work on your device. I found a nice JB Rom called Mackay Rom for my Samsung Galaxy S.
Its fast and stabil. If you find this Rom for your device, you could try it, he is updating this rom fast and the changes are nice.
Most JB Rom use CM10 as basis so the difference wont be that huge^^
None of the i9001 Jelly Bean ROMs are fully functional at the moment, as you have noticed. i9000 ROMs will not work on i9001, as it is a totally different phone. Only things we have similar is the screen, battery size and the form of the phone, CPU & GPU being different makes it impossible to use the same ROMs.
There is a lot of work to be done and a few talented people doing the work. Just keep on looking in the Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development, all progress will be posted in there. Pretty much the only JB rom we have is DoomNEXUS by Doomsday94.
There also is the I9001 Q&A section that these questions should be directed to.
Slim Bean Best one
hi cool devs ,
i have read some topics here but wonder if there is already a working kernel for usb host feature for our ICS incredible s.
I have read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851121
unfortunately the main contributor is MIA until december he said and might have found a new love for samsung... i guess ... so USB OTG is still for testing
Any update for any USB OTG/HOST for ICS?
Very Supportive ,
Carl
UP...
please
I guess everyone got a new phone. Is it time to dump my incredible S?
I have not made any changes on my phone in terms of rom and other customization other than the official updates.
There are only 2 things that would make me flash my rom. First was already solved during the ICS update which supports the screen capture.
The other one is I do not know if this will happen, The OTG/USB Host support for our phone.
I thought a phone could be more smarter if those two features are there plus the original features which are already there because. Others can be downloaded in the market.
Im rooting for OTG now. It will make our phone very powerful. It could become a CPU + monitor.
OTG
is there any news for otg / usb host?
Hello
I've spent the last 24 hours browsing the O2x section of XDA, and decided that I might change the ROM and/or kernel. I'm considering either Paranoid Android or DjangoManouche ROMs with the KingOfBirds Kernel (If i go with DM) or Kowalski Kernel. However, I have some questions that I just can't find the yes/no answer for. Would anyone be able to answer these for me?..
1. I am running Stock Rooted ICS V30A with CWM v6.0.1.5, busybox and adb installed, which I assume I achieved through steps 3 and 8 on the AIO toolkit because I didn't do anything else.
Does this translate to "I am on the new partition layout with EXT4, have cwm recovery and can proceed to install kernels and ROMS for the new partition layout"?
2. I generally use my p990 for gaming, movies and internet yet still using it as a phone at school. None of the kernels (Kowalski's or KingOfBirds) I am looking at using state whether or not they have Tegra H/W acceleration support, which I do not want to loose. Do the above/all kernels for the p990 support H/W acceleration? :fingers-crossed:
3. Do the kernels and ROMs above still allow me to edit vold.fstab and have a 32gb internal memory from my sd card?
4. I see a lot of people saying CM10 is the best, but a lot of posts with questions and fixes for bugs with it. Any users of this one able to tell me if it is stable and would be suitable for me (see question 2)?
And if you are using DM or Paranoid Android, what are they like for someone who wants a nice fast stable O2X?
5. Will backing my apps up with Titanium and zipping my internal storage be enough to save my game data? $9m on Hill Climb Racing I don't want to loose.
6. When I am changing, should I format my phone in cwm, and then flash the kernel after ROM? (eg DM -> KingOfBirds)
hi there! i'll try to answer some of your questions:
1) you are on the new bootloader and should flash rom's for this particular setting(this doesn't necessarily mean you can't go back to the old bootloader-search for unbrick tutorial in development section)
2) from what i know they do(someone correct me if i'm wrong)
3)i don't know
4)i can assure you that official cm10 is an excellent rom and you should try it ) (i for one never had any major problems(bug call,bsod) and will return to it after some testing )
5) i think it will do just fine
6)every custom rom has some guiding points in the first post(and second and maybe third ) ) please do follow them and you will have no trouble.
good luck!

Thanks a million vader I'm going to give CM10 a shot on that note, but like you said if someone can confirm for sure if the H/W acceleration works that would be great too.
I don't think that h/w acceleration is something that lacks in the post-cm9 roms. After lg released both official ics, sources and our cm device maintainer aremcee(ricardo) got hold of them all stock roms and cm variants have hwa. I can confirm that tonyp, in his ParanoidAndroid has the option to assign which app to use hwa

Cool ok, Thanks again Just one last question - should I install kernels before/after zip if not specified by creator?I think I'm going to try pengus77's kernel and CM10 build for the new bootloader.
Flash the kernel after you're done with the rom. Cheers!

That was the last question hopefully Backing up my phone atm (done cwm, titanium and AIO backups, i should be covered ) and then I'm going to shoot this rom and kernel at it. I'll post back how it goes.
Hi xda people,
Just wanted to know whether any of the masses of different kitkat builds currently being produced by any developers are stable enough to use as a daily driver. I also wanted to know if kitkat roms have fixed the youtube stuttering/lag/freezing that I always found on the AOSP 4.4/4.3 roms. I'd try out the kitkat roms myself, but I for some reason I can never get any 4.4 rom past the boot screen. I just want to know if kitkat is worth the time I'll have to put in to get it to work.
Then amount of time you have to invest in trying out a new rom is not even close to what the devs have to put.. So respect, stop asking such questions and try out a rom, decide for yourself.
All KitKat roms as of now are facing sdcard FUSE deadlock bug forcing media server to go on forever with temporary treatment fix which you can find in the forum.
We are sharing the same fate with i9100, therefore progress on the bug report can be seen from here:
