Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.
I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

Unfortunately, only Motorola can do this by either releasing a 2.2 update or unlocking the bootloader.

Htere is n o pseudo, root is root, means root privilages. Means we can do whatever we want with system folder. What we can't do is boot another kernel, so only custom roms on same kernel allowed, means no froyo for example. But someone could maky Cryogen ROM but using this kernel, that would mean quite some work.

Actually, No.
We can boot a kernel, Sort of, Inside the current kernel (Kexec)
We can't write anything past the bootloader. Nothing. We have to do everything during runtime.

flash lite, doesnt work on the milestone, its linked in by code with the HTC browser and well i manged to get the APk for flash lite or (hero flash) but it doenst actually work.
unless anyones knowlegable on how to edit the browser i cant see it being available.
but saying that it cannot be that easy, ive had dolphin HD, which states that it is very very flash friendly, and neither apk will allow the flash to work.

Seriously? This is turning into the 'ask the same questiln without reading answers' thread.
Milestone can'T have Flash 10 because of the locked bootloader.
The download people have that works on 2.1 with Sense UI, which isn't native on milestone. Use lite.
Sent from my Milestone
Yep. I've easily installed Flash 10.1, but as already mentioned it doesn't help. The problem is that the browser itself doesn't support Flash plugin.
Instructions:
1a/ Download the official ROM:
v20g (RO): http://www.multiupload.com/UP2GYKHGBS
SHA1: 7542c7472fa393573baeeeedac3c0d67e767d2f3
MD5: b0ee4db1d25bd96f19491c7e019b60a4
v20c (BE,CIS,CZ,NL,PL,...): http://www.multiupload.com/H5Q604BNJ9
SHA1: b12bb2b58d10e53eb219987e1a92faa9d7f7c6e5
MD5: c80d910ea7ef5ab07dfee7707492ef3b
1b/ Download u-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, copy to SD card (http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2....fgh-signed.zip).
In case you do not want root, skip this and steps 4, 5.
All PEBKAC questions go to General section, not here!
2/ Unpack LG-P500-v20g.7z with 7Zip or whatever
3/ Run LGMDP-v1.5.exe from the folder where you unpacked it and flash it the "Russian way"... For a walktrough on using this tool, see my Flash baseband HOWTO. (Note: I have replaced the stock recovery with CWM 3.1.0.0. In case you already have a custom recovery installed, just uncheck the box.)
4/ Reboot into recovery, flash su-2.3.6.3-cd-signed.zip.
5/ Install Busybox Installer from Market, install busybox.
6/ Done!
Bonus:
Kernel with overclocking: check this thread
Caveats: Switching to another ROM (not based on official v20 ROM):
- either flash only the stock 2.2.x baseband via LGMDP-v1.5.exe, see my Flash baseband HOWTO.
- or flash stock 2.2.x ROM via KDZ; or
- (for CM7 ROMs only): - after flashing ROM via ZIP, reboot and flash mik's new-baseband-patch-signed.zip from recovery[/B]! If you encounter issues, report them to mik_os (his CyanogenMod 7.1 thread), NOT to me, I cannot fix it!
Known bug: No 2G/3G data - wait for a new release.

FAQ:
Q: Can you upload v20B/D/... as well?
A: NO! I have better things to do than wasting my time with slow uploads. You can prepare the ROM yourself, just follow [HOWTO] Cook your custom rom for LG P500. Note: You only need steps 1-2. After that, replace recovery.img with one of your choice from here. Not to mention that the ROMs are essentially the same for everyone, save for country/OEM-specific bloat.
Didn't know it was already out :O I'm gonna test this soon!

Going back to 2.2/2.3 ROMs not based on LG's v20 -> flash stock 2.2.x with KDZ (as also already written on another thread as well.) That is the whole purpose why I uploaded the stupid 100+ megs file, after all.

CM7 is a customisation based on gingerbread .A bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run.Every Android phone has a bootloader that instructs the operating system kernel to boot normally and every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader specific for the hardware present in it’s environment.
Yes you will be able to flash your chosen rom.
You will also need Nexus drivers installed on your computer after flashing.
thank you, aaaaaaaaaaaand could i go back to cm7 rom again?

as far as i know you will need to use odin to flash the stock rom and the the cm7...

he needed to use the USB jack to get in to the download mode again...
Yeah like Mich says its always better to go back to a stock rom before going custom. I am using team hacksung (cm9 beta)and it says to flash back to cm7 you just flash rom twice.

Yes, ok, So now i can flash to other ICS roms, but not to GB or froyo(etc) based ROMs. In case i'd like to flash back to froyo or gingerbread based rom, I'd have to use Odin(do you know any tutorial for that?), flash a stock rom, root it, and install-it by CWM recovery (would ODIN delete the CMM recovery?).

Hello,
I am a complete noob and need help figuring out how to do this, I have a kindle fire that i set up with the pure android 4.2 ROM, and was wondeing how i could do this with my captivate, and is there any way i can use this on AT&T without a data plan.
By the way the captivate is running the way it comes form at&t .
Click the link below and read (to get the idea), then read again (to understand what you are doing), then do exactly what it says (to get what you want). Start with CyanogenMod Stable 10.1.2, it's the most popular custom ROM (may change it later to whatever you want 4.2.2 based). Don't flash Android 4.3 beta ROMs as your first custom ROM. You need to download Google Apps too, version for 4.2.2 ROMs. Don't forget to backup your data before upgrading. Good luck!

I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

I see your rom looks pretty good...is it super stable? So because I went to cm10.1.3 does that mean I can't go back to 4.3 based roms or only official? Thanks

What rom do you mean exactly?, I dont have a rom that i made myself yet..
you can go any time you want back to 4.3, custom or official doesnt matter both is possibble, just be rooted and have the latest philz recovery installed or any other recovery.

I meant the one in your Sig . I might try that then maybe end up on stock. One thing was I was hoping to be able to unroot it on stock as I have a banking app that won't run on rooted devices .

Oh you mean the sites of those official firmwares or the recoverys :good:
I actually have no idea how to unroot it except for flashing official firmware 4.3 with odin, but the bloatware wil still be there unfortunately unless you find another way to do this
Can't boot into recovery mode or anything on mtk 6575 device
My Tecno D5 which has an Mtk 6575 chipset
got bricked after installing a font app and I
decided to use mtk droid tool to flash an
automade cwm recovery on it while its still
bricked. To cut the story short, after the whole
process of using another similar devices boot.img
and recovery.img to flash the automade recovery
on my device, my phone won't even get to
stock recovery(all I get is just a blank white
page after the normal logo at boot) .It also gives
me this when I try booting up.... Pls!!! a swift
reply wouls be appreciated as I'm just a learner
at this.

Ok thanks and I meant this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-amcha-rom-v5-00-simply-customizable-t2619670
Looks like a Rom. But does look a little more complex than usual ! I might try that first. But as long as it won't brick my device I might have to flash a stock and unroot depends on many things. Thanks.

On I'm on the same rom as your signatures rom. And nothings gone wrong so far. This might be the one for me! Fingers crossed.

personally i find amcha rom to be the most stable between the other 4.3 roms, using it almost 2 months and no fc's, freezes, random reboots etc. so far! :fingers-crossed:

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!
