Hey guys,
I have a Touch Pro for Sprint and I have been looking around and even playing with a few Roms, but none have made a great impression on me. If I understand correctly most Roms are based off of the original, bare, and stripped Rom. What I am wondering is if some one could just either confirm this to be true or tell me what is actually the truth. I know a little about programing, but have a friend that is willing to help me out. So if anyone will give me any information in starting out this process that would be great. Thanks.

Hey all, well I been around for a bit and have been reading and never really posted for the fear of getting the Fire of using the "Search Function". So I read my way through the handsets I have had. I worked my way from the Cingular 8525 to the AT&T Tilt 8925 and pretty soon I should be getting my hands on a Fuze as the Moto I have been using is acting a fool.
So here's what I want to find out and please don't throw the fire at me. When I had my Tilt I had tkalli; thanks Ted; who recommended the HD ROMs and I worked my way from there. I would like to know what ROMs you would recommend and use and why any thoughts and opinions would never go read since I am very willing to learn. Thank you all.
Opinions vary from user to user. Try them all and see which you like most.

Hey there wildcard, nice to hear your picking up a fuze! I've been running the Energy 2.0 series ROM since they are very cutting edge and the chef (NRGZ28) releases a new ROM almost daily which fulfills my flashing needs.
Really I've tried most all the ROM's here (nothing with WinMo 6.5 though) and must say that we are lucky to have such wonderful chefs as there are soooo many great ROM's to choose from.
i got my kitchen setup.. for my first cook would this be the best ROM to start with?
RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.1
5.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.
exe ??
much thanks..

I, along with others, would suggest to start with the stock rom.
It forces you to learn the ins and outs of how things work and how to do certain mods and helps you just understand everything overall. but you can always choose to start with someone else's rom, but that doesn't necessarily make you a rom chef.

I have no problem getting into ROM's head first.. taking someone else work and reworking it to my own doesnt give me any gratification.. i'd like to be able to say "i made this work this way". yeah everyone is doing ROM's, will i ever release what i do, who knows.. i just know what i want..
i'm not looking into making the best ROM out or recoding till my eyes hurt.. I would like to learn the in's n outs.. And learn to implement some of the MODS currently out.
did some searching and i've come up with Stock Incredible Sense *3.26.605.1* (Rooted) by rmk as a base.. any better bases?
now that im thinking of it, i'll need to get the OTA's worked in from there..
much thanks for the info..
so as much as i want to dig into all this.. time isnt on my side.. my wife and i had our twin daughters back in october, and it's extremely difficult to find any kind of computer time. not to mention im not even back to work yet, and i have already obligated myself to my small record label and my interest in working for myself via real estate sales.. i may just need to let the ROM people keep doing what they do and i enjoy and support their work..
Hello everyone,
I haven't visited this site in a long time now, it's been since my G1 days actually.
After buying my vibrant I decided I didn't have a need to root because there wasn't anything I felt like I was missing or needed at the moment. I, like all who didn't root, was waiting for the official 2.2 ota. Now that I know it's not coming I decided to finally root. I was really surprised at how easy you guys have made it now. Kudos people... I just would like to ask for some opinions though...
I can't decide on what rom to use. I really don't have a ton of time to invest in my phone atm so I really just want the most stable thing out right now. I really do like the look and feel of Touch Wiz but I'm not married to it. Basically I really just would like to know the safest way for me to go.. something with no bugs, I don't wanna mess with overclocking, I would like to keep TW... Any help would greatly appreciated!
Thanks all!

You ask 5 ppl might get 5 answers try here

I personally like bionix v, but it is a gingerbread feel not TW.
Thanks for the replies guys. I was pretty much expecting those answers actually =)
I was actually leaning towards Bionix v. Isn't there a touch wiz and GB version? Also, are there any bugs I should know about with it? Sounds like it is kinda solid but just wanna make sure I don't DL it and find my earphones don't work or some weird crap like that.
thanks again
I've tried every rom out, and Flagship V3 has been the most stable/fastest... for me. All of the froyo roms are stable and very nice though. Just depends on what you want.
Perhaps you can explain what you want for a better response.
ie, I would donkey-punch the TW launcher.... it's pointless to me.
Hi!
I am a NOOB here..(yes my post will prove it) but I know from what I have read online and from other sites that someone here may be able to help me.. I know once this is read someone will want to post"Why didn't you search first?" Well I did and came up with a ton of threads(some relevant and some not but none really were what I am looking for I think) I am constantly travelling with my company and really do not have the time that some here may have to search all the posts for what I am looking for..plus I suffer from severe adhd which unless it is laid out step by step I get distracted and wander..like I am doing now lol... So please be gentle and I hope someone here can find the time to answer my question.. And again thanks
Here goes!!-
Been a lurker for awhile but been away(overseas) came back and had a great deal( I thought) on a viewsonic gtab cross my desk for 125.00...so I took the plunge from casual reading on net that I could root etc.. I have never owned a tablet so this is my first..
HELP ME LOVE MY GTAB!!!
Now I didnt know which subforum this belongs and if the mods have to move it so be it.. but I need help..and this is the help I am looking for-
I hate the tapntap..I want to root but do not know which rom to go with..I game alot and watch videos alot and grooveip alot... I hope that helps people in the suggestions for which rom I should use. I am computer savvy and follow instructions well...so please point me to anything that might help..I of course would love to have the latest (ics) but hear there is some limited functionality..if I am incorrect in this and some of the limitations in gingerbread please feel free to correct me.
I like to tinker...any cool tinkering/hacks I can do to this tab(that wont completely brick it lol) any sites to suggest..sites for people that love their gtab etc
Basically I just want to feel I got a good deal and I want to root but dunno which one to go to..and I want to keep my camera (for now) but if I see I am not using it much I may flash to something else later...but guys give me all your advice on which rom I should go to first that is the most stable and will suit the needs I outlined earlier... thank you for letting me be long winded..
BTW I love the site but feel overwhelmed with this..which is why I posted..so don't hate..appreciate that I look to your knowledge lol
Hi Bro!
Like you I was kind of lose with all this information about Gtab. My poor english made of google translator do not help me. But if you read a lot, perhaps you can reach something.
Did you know that site? http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/
Well, that name isnt encouraging, but you will found good and easy information in this site. You know, easy steps, everything explained. Good to begin with.
Currently I am using this rom :Beasty/Clemsyn Ultimate Froyo Combo - Simply THE BEST (1.2 bootloader only)
Very fast, good for everything and all things are working, I guess.
Well, read a lot, read again and try something. As always, If you brick your gadget, all responsability is your. Let us know if something go wrong. If you reach success, let us know too. Is good substantiate, your problems can help other people in future.
As I already said, sorry for my poor english.
Good luck Dude.
I agree with jonnybr. Beastly-Clemsyn is my favorite rom when it comes to the stability and speed, at least for me, nothing else has matched it. Everything works, camera, hardware accel., even newer versions of most Gapps and most games work with no problem at all. Only exception is that if you use a USB mouse with your tablet, the orientation will be messed up but that's the price you pay for Skype to work.
If you are quite savvy and enjoy tinkering, maybe try a few different roms and see what you like best. Some of the others that are great are FrankenTab, CM7 (runs great but no HW accel.) and of course ICS (no camera yet and still a Beta build), but if you are looking for a working camera, low risk of problems and stability your best bet is to try one of the Froyo roms like Beastly or FrankenTab.
Funny, I started messing around with mine when I first got it to add functionality and make this thing actually useful and enjoyable. Come to find out, I get more use and enjoyment out of tinkering and messing with it than I do actually using it for it's intended purpose!
I have to agree with jonnybr as well. We were all noobies to at one point, but you made a well worth investment on the tablet. This tablet is virtually brick proof with the NVflash method. If it where me I would stick with a 1.2 boot loader, you can get the NVflash file from the link posted by jonnybr. That boot loader is ultimately the best for stability and reliability. Beastly rom is the best for a froyo rom. For visual pleasure I would lean towards VeganTab. Granted HW accel. is not the greatest, its a hacked version, but it is a 2.3 Gingerbread rom. A lot of potential with that particular rom. For me I currently am using DRH ICS since I don't really use my camera for anything special. This thing is more or less my touch screen netbook. Happy hunting.
Hey guys,
I will be getting an android 4.0 phone from china here in a couple days. It doesnt support updates, or anything and I'd like to get Jelly Bean on it. I also have a Captivate I'd like to start developing roms for. I need the simplest explanation of how to make custom roms from aosp for either phone, or if there is another way, or if someone would like to take on the job that'd be great as well. any and all help is greatly appreciated.
>>>>>SEARCH<<<<<
(That's the simplest thing you can do)
If the phone from China is really that unique the chance of you going from knowing nothing about developing to making a working JB ROM (which would require writing drivers) is next to zilch. But if you really want to learn and are willing to put in the effort there is an endless supply all over the internet (and within the hundreds of other threads like this).
