try his ROM at time of this post go for v8.0 and upgrade to v8.1 no-wipe from there. Its more speedy than the stock samsung rom without any lag fixes.
Ofcourse there's no best rom, just find one that fits your needs

I'm thinking the bathroom.

hard to say which is the best. all roms are great.
if you are asking which are popular, i vote to doc's rom and darky's rom

bedroom and xxjpy stock with voodoo

To be honest, you shouldn't have ditched the evo 4G in favor of this, my friend. Because such crappy software and no CM or AOSP experience make us frustrated.

I dont agree with u m8
this phone that u have is one of the finest in the world,,,, by buying it u joined a 10 million other people
there is nothing in ur previous phone exceeds this one. having said that, the gps sensor in this device is crap comparing with others. many intellectual devs tried to solve its issues,with no complete success (hardware issues),,,,other than this u can enjoy customising it completely
have a look on the devs section and c how many roms and devs has been developing are working on it.
I agree that the default os is laggy,,,, but this phone is blessed with plenty of devs.
if and only if the gps is better it could outsell the Ithing
with time, ull c that u made a nice choice

Yeah I know how many devs are working with it and I didn't mean "default" OS in any way. Seriously, popular roms these day (Doc's and Darky's) can't even beat CM-enabled phone like N1 or Desire in term of performance/smoothness.
But you're right, only time will tell.

ROM Building

THIS IS GROUND ZERO for me. LG released a phone with one of the best hardware setups i have seen on any phone, especially with the dual ram dual channel memory. those 2 things coupled with the dual core processor, make this phone incredibly smooth. i am currently running Thriller on it, and though the Dev for said rom bailed out on us, i still have hope that this phone will continue to improve, and those of us who see the true potential of this device, will continue to have faith, and work with each other to make improvements.
personally, i'm wanting to start development using the ICS SDK and hopefully port a great version of the software onto this phone. i know it's ambitious, and i know it would take a long time, BUT, this is something that i want to do, to learn the skills of rom building, and possibly make a career out of it (i dunno, get on at Google as a Dev there or something?)
i know that to port ICS onto this device, i'm going to have to write drivers for the rom from scratch, and as i have no prior knowledge of how to do that, it may take a while, but seeing as it all runs of the same base kernal as Linux, as well as MacOS X, those who actually do have knowledge of how to do this, could be a great help. if anyone is interested in helping me in this journey, PM me. "There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" well, i say WHY NOT?!?! if there's a will, there's a way, right? who knows, maybe we'll get ICS ported before LG even announces that they're gonna be upgrading to it (newer-as of 2011 dunno exactly when-google polocies state that any phone launched with an android OS are required to update to the newest OS within 18 months of launch)? now wouldn't that be a smack in the face to LG? a bunch of unpatient people who were unwilling to wait for their bloody port to a new version of software, banding to gether to make it happen before they can. PM me if you're with me. i'll give personal, private contact information to anyone who sounds at least as serious as i do about this.- IrishPunk

Use the search function on how to build roms and yeah we do have plenty of devs in here.

Agreed, when I saw gtg was gone it was like a balloon deflated. DG is gone too. We may never get fully functional CWM, and doubtful the O3D ROMs will port fully.
Guess its good I still have a few days to swap for the SGS II.
I guess I will have to take my humble pie as I do. I never thought I would take the Thrill back, I chose the Thrill knowing the SGS II was right there. But, I don't want to kick myself in a month when that window is done, and the used price of the Thrill has already tanked.

I'm past my return window, and it just sucks that this phone is a month old, and everyone is losing hope and returning it. I'll just stick it out with my multiple batteries and learn to work on it.

Everyone is bailing too early. I mean this Will get GB it's just a matter of time and patience which seems to be lacking with a Lot of people who bought this phone. Regardless though I assume building a Rom will be easier once GB get's rolled out although I could be wrong.

Patience will pay off in the end. If for nothing else, than to fix the battery life which seems to be what's running everyone off. I had the horrible Dell Streak when we waited for like a year for Froyo. If I can do that, I can wait on GB.

yup yup
I learned alot about this stuff messing with my inspire.. when i heard about the thrill coming out i was like "finally theres something like the evo 3d for att" it was a no brainer when my upgrade came a few days ago.
I did tell myself that i would give the phone a week to wow me.. or id be exchanging it for a SGS2.. however.. every day i read these forums, and the O3D forums and im constantly being amazed.. ive found an excelent rom and have almost worked out all the mms, 4g issues from using a O3D rom..
everyday im just a little closer to friday and the trade back.. but every day im amazed just a little more.. id love to learn the rom building process but i frankly do not have time.. every dev. ive ever dealt with has been more than courteous as long as i did make an attempt to look into the issue on my own first.. im excitedly awating CM7 for this phone and its almost there.. all i need now is an OC kernel to crank up this 1ghz dual core and ive got my daily user for the next 2 years..
I eagerly log in each day looking for what new tidbit is up and running.. i love being on the ground floor when everyone is bailing... the same happened for a couple of weeks with the inspire if you remember.. it was a pain to root.. but those that stuck in there found the wait to be worth it.. the same will happen with the Thrill.. im sure of it..
just hang in there guys and thank you to all the devs that are more knowledgeable than me. your work IS greatly appreciated.. your all my heroes..
Thanks again.. I think im in it for the long haul with the Thrill..

I started out using ROMs on the Streak, but have never tried to build one until now. Have you ever tried searching the forums for Android ROM building? Yeah good luck with that. I've even tried just googling Android froyo ROM creation, most of what comes up is for HTC.

well how about you ask gtg465x for his kitchen, he's left the thrill, so he might be willing to help

If you do find the needed tools plz let me know. I'd love to try my hand at helping to develop for the thrill. I work for att and all my coworkers have ditched the thrill for the sg2 but I like the thrill way too much to leave it.

Aah a fellow co-worker! Glad another AT&T employee is keeping it real with the thrill lol. I am always searching but don't come up with any results on LG Android Rom creation. Then if you ask in a post all you're gonna get is a smartass telling you to search for it. I'll find it one day!
Of course I've already got adb and the android sdk, I just need to know what I need to go with it.

Well you will need linux but here on the forums you can find something called Android Utility. Pretty much comes with everything you need to make roms, edit apks even some boot.img tools. For windows i have no clue, I do everything in linux. Good luck.

Aah once again Linux and I come face to face. I suppose it's time to bite the bullet.

(Teaser) State of Vivid Development...

While we have all (Dev's, Cooks, themers & tweakers) seen the initial woes of the newer ICS code & it's effect on easily porting mods over, things are starting to come together. Deodexing & decompiling was a bear, until you figured it out that is, & even then a bit more time consuming than usual.
However, In a few short days I will have a good piece of news for all, including developers & users regarding some of the most desired tweaks & mods.
I have been busy reaching out to a few of the really good developers & begging & bribing my way into getting participation & a really nice tool as well as several mods will become available in a day or two.
I don't want to say too much, I really want the dev to get the credit & honor of officially announcing the goodies.
I know as this post currently stands, it is not development. It will be though, & will be renamed to the Vivid Collaborative Effort & will serve as a central repository & wiki for modifications & tweaks that I am working to get done, either myself or through the gracious help of a few really great Dev's that are in other forums.
So, don't think I'm not doing anything
BTW, Wild Child may not know it yet, but he will be back & PG & BC are next. Then we'll all hold hands, sing Kumbayah, drink lots of KoolAide & get everyone working happily together, taking our frustrations out on SGS2 users instead of fellow Holiday thread participants.
ALSO, Please take a moment & let me know what mods or goodies you see in other sections & I will work on either doing them myself or work on getting some support from the mod/tool/theme/tweak creator.
Thanks!

Hey GSLEON, Homeslice made a kickass battery percent mod for the ICS rom that he has on Wildchild's site. Not sure if he has plans to share it here but it'd be cool to create a flashable zip for those that desire it.

Sense 4.0 would be great as opposed the Sense lite 3.6

The main thing I miss from the Inspire is the "tweaks" menu that was in a good number of ROMs. Like "RC Tweaks", "Virtuous tweaks, etc.

This is the kind of effort and leadership we need to get this development the momentum it needs. This is what XDA is about!
I would love to get the full HTC locations app as opposed to the footprints app. I like the premium navigation I purchased from HTC to work on Ics.
Can't wait to know what you got.
Keep up the good work!!!!

Capychimp has done fantastic work on ICS including the first port, would love to see his APM and Setting tab for notification bar.
Oh and the music player that allows sound enhancements over BT.

Oh GSLEON you tease. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
The main thing I'm looking for is tethering unlocked. And extended power and quick menu. But I know you've been working on those. Oh yeah and a sense 4.0 port.

+1, pointless idea.

How about some cool themes for ics like the ones made for the HTC Sensation by the Elagancia team...if im spelling that right. They haved themed the hell out of the HTC sensation...can we get some of that action on the vivid?...oh and of course above everything else a sense 4.0 port. I like the sense 3.6 but when you compare it to sense 4.0, it's like sense 3.6 is about 20 years old...LOL

+1 on the sense 4 port
Also lovely post ;D Glad to hear things are going to come back together !
And might as well ask... Does anyone have good links for me to start developing? Tutorials and such would be lovely Always wanted to start but never had time and i think it would be fun

I have the slightest idea what "s-off" means if someone cares to explain that would be great. Sense 4.0 port would be major for the HTC Vivid..."with everything working of course" That could even raise the value of the handset itself...LOL

I don't get it. This device doesn't get the respect it deserves. The few roms we have to choose from are outstanding. And the hardware is up to par with other devices its age. Yeah we don't have s-off but as of now it's not needed.
To the devs supporting the vivid keep up the great work. Everything y'all do is greatly appreciated.

If a developer is adventurous enough then yes. The nexus s also had a sense port. I wouldn't hold my breath though, now I have to go check out videos of new sense and touchwiz features.

I don't see any point of those particular two right now because they're still on ICS while we're on jellybean so it wouldn't make sense (no pun intended). I'm not holding my breath because i'm perfectly happy with what jellybean offers (as ported ROMs would be ICS if someone tried one now)

Who wants a port? They usually suck because so many things are broken. If manufacturers didn't make all their stuff proprietary then we would see more cool roms from other phones.

whats a port have to do with developing? thats a serious kang, lol. try out different kernels too. the thing with nexus devices is that they run pure android. thats why many buy the nexus 4. no hacking needed, it runs pure android from aosp. most dont want that sense, or touchwiz, or any other of that manufacture crap. the development here comes into play by making android better. killing bugs, adding/enabling more features, etc. nobody want a port on any nexus, they want the real thing.

the fact that many things are broken does not mean that nobody wants a port. then what is all this talk going on saying nexus devices always have more developing? we have many roms and many awesome devs, but honestly 90% of the roms are exactly the same. sense amd tw users at least have an alternative when they get bored with tw or sense, they go flash a ported cm10 based rom

Well they all use the same base, so 98% of the ROM is bound to be the same no matter what.
That said, Android's at a point where you can't really add that much to it anymore that's going to blow your mind, it's not like earlier Android versions where there were gaping holes that needed to be filled. Most people here seem interested in ways they can pimp their UI and post screenshots, and that makes it even worse.
I am saddened by the number of kangs and mash up ROMs however that don't bring anything unique to the table, but as someone who doesn't develop ****, I'm not one to talk.

OP thanks for sharing your opinion, instead of saying thanks for the work in development being done in this Community you say "boring"....sounds like someone should take up Developing and then provide freely to the Community as it is being done now, but never the less, thread is going no where.
Again Thanks for the opinion, Thread Closed.
