hey all, just rooted and flashed my first rom, the bionix. I was wondering, when i had my g1 a long time ago and rooted it, i remember a page with all the roms and the attributes of the roms listed. soooo i was wondering if there was a page like that anywhere? also what are the best, fastest roms out there? i know when i was a rooted g1 the cyanogen roms were great...are they still good? sorry, i've been out of the game for a while but i'll catch back up soon with some help from you guys. thanks.
Best place to look is the sticky in the Dev forum

Hello everyone,
most recently I have updated my Hero to the new ROM supplied by the fellows at HTC (the 2.73... I think). Then I remembered that on my HTC S710 I used to have a rom that came from here. So, I took a look. I have a couple of questions. Oh, let me also tell you that I have rooted my phone (I think, with Instant Root).
So these are my questions:
What do you think is the best rom available?
And why? What are its advantages to a 'normal' HTC Rom?
As a beginner, I can look over this forum for hours (I did!) but still miss out on this answer!
there is no answer to this question, that's why.
It's like asking which is better, up or down?
Everyone will prefer a different ROM for different reasons. get your device flashed to the new recovery image and then you can try all the ROMS and decide for yourself what the 'best' one is.
Personally i stick with the generic ROMs and haven't used the modaco custom ROMs yet as i am happy with the way the device works and not in need of all the hacks that other people want as i rarely use them.
you may be different.
try them all and decide for yourself.
Hm. Yes, I like the way you are thinking - and heck, it is the second time you've given me a great reply! I'll go out and tinker with the world, and more specific: with ROMs! Although I have no idea what flashing my device to a new recovery image means, I do remember having to do something similar with my S710. And I am sure I will find an explanation here! Who knows, pherhaps in a short while, I will answer my own questions!
There aren't many customised ROMs for the Hero yet, partly because the source code isn't available yet from HTC, so the ones that do exist are based on versions of the HTC ROMs.
Use Flashrec and install the awesome modified cyanogen recovery image, then you can flash one of the ROMs. I chose the stock UK ROM pre-rooted, from MoDaCo's site (not the MoDaCo customised ROM though).
It's convenient because it is pretty much the stock experience, except it's pre-rooted which makes some other things possible.

Hey, I upgraded from a S710 to a Hero as well. I'm very happy with having done that as the Hero is such a better phone!
Anyway. Flashing a new recovery image is one one of these 'tinkering' things you/we have to get used to when playing with ROMs. Essentially the recovery image is a very basic control on the phone that you can reboot into, from where you can update the ROM or do total system backups. You can read about how to do this in MoDaCo's custom ROM thread in the android development section. Flashing a new recovery image and new ROM isn't too hard really; took me at most a couple of hours.
Hey XDA,
I have been a lurker for a while now and absolutely LOVE this place. I originally found it because the NOOK was my first android device and that forum was more than helpful. Recently I bought a Thunderbolt and decided I needed to root for various reasons including Netflix, Roms, etc...
After following the root instructions found here and the video from nat3mil on youtube, I was at a place i was ok with, a Rooted TBolt that I could start personalizing. The root went and i tried to download Das BAMF from Rom Manager, keys getting an error to contact Das BAMF team and decided to instead see what else was on the ROM Manager listing, eventually coming across the google apps upgrade at the bottom of the list.....
After installing that, i now have no market, no gmail, no talk and am not sure what to do other than restore to stock and reroot. Does anyone have any adive / help that could provide? Thank you very much for your time reading this.
You don't want to download the ROM from ROM Manager. I highly suggest downloading the ROM from the OP (original post) in the bamf thread.
Oh and before you start getting pelted with rocks you probably want to ask any questions from now on in the Q&A or the General forum. Those forums pretty much exist to answer your Q's. Just a heads up.
I would say reflash your ROM. The google apps you find in ROM manager are for ROMs that don't initially come with them.
Also, don't flash through ROM manager, very bad idea.
Before you get slammed this does not belong in the development forum. Q&A forum is the correct place.
Ok back to your question. Google apps in Rom manager are listed for ASOP roms like CM Android 2.3 not the stock rooted froyo Rom on the Thunderbolt.
Download your Rom from this forum list only to be safe that what your getting is what you want. Thunderbolt development has a nice selection of roms by many developers that give you a chance to review before flashing a Rom.
So pick a Rom to download from XDA and flash from recovery. That will be the easiest way to be your Thunderbolt back to working order.

With regard to the google apps, those are not for sense roms. Essentially, they're there for CM7 since the gapps don't come prepackaged. In short, don't flash them for BAMF.

Flashed Das BAMF 1.7 and its all fixed, sorry for the nub thread and question. Still a learning experience for me regarding Android and the Forum. Thank you all.
I am a long time android user and rooted every phone I have had. In this case I am a little stumped. I just won a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi and was wondering which rooting method to use.
Which roms will work for the wifi model.
Model Number is GT-P7510
Thanks in advance!

My personal choice, but go to Dev Forum, download and check them all out. If you don't use the camera, try out an ICS ROM.
Just a tip, make sure you use the search before you post anything. A lot of issues have been answered and you will get flamed if you don't
So I bought a Velocity Cruz T410 because it was cheap and did what I needed at the time. But now that I don't really need it for work, I want to do more with it.
Does anybody know how I could go about creating/finding a custom ROM for it? I've spent the last week or so searching Google and other forums for this information but I haven't found anything yet.
Velocity Micro Customer Service has told me that this device is capable of running ICS but they aren't planning on updating it that far. I'd really like to try developing ROMs and such for this device but don't really know where to start.

Hi!
I have the T408 and has been checking the Internet for about two months for a custom ROM. Please let me know if you do find a custom ROM for your device & I'll do the same for you if I find one for mine as I believe the software would work for both.
Now, let me tell you what I learned so far:
Rooting the device is the first step you have to do.If you haven't done it, check what rooting means at this link (I'm not allowed to post the full links as I'm new to the website)
info.org/root.html
To root the Cruz,check these links: androidforums.com/velocity-micro-cruz-tablet-t408/439932-easy-way-root-velocity-cruz-tablet-t408.html
& youtube.com/watch?v=8envovRmNCw
I used the 2nd one with success & installed the recommended apps.
To install the Android market, check these links: senk9.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/how-to-install-google-apps-gapps-on-your-android-device-phone/
& youtube.com/watch?v=JM_D1YwGtbk
Hope this helps. Don't forget to tell me if you find the Custom ROM!.
Dead thread?
I have a T410 and have been rooted for some time now. I search often for custom ROMs and other tweaks for the tablet but have come up empty handed. Is this another dead T410 thread?

Hello all, Haven't been on in a while haven't had to since viper rez was released. i loved the rom and it was all i needed. I don't think that there is that many people who still own/use their rezound. recently i had issues and wanted to re flash the rom only to find there are no links any where. I even checked the team that made viperez website i found a thread asking about it and they said they don't even have copy's of the rom any longer. i thought about all my options and knew i am anal about backing up everything and had to have had a copy somewhere finally on a old unused dropbox i forgot about i found it. Just wanted to post it for any one still stuck on this phone.
Did not know where to post plz feel free to move thread wherever, just wanted to help anyone in the community that still wanted to use this fantastic rom

Thanks for the link... but since you are still using this phone perhaps you should jump over to the development areas, this device has been under development all along and still is, there are many JellyBean and KitKat ROMs available for the Rezound, perhaps you would enjoy one of them...
