I know SE said Q2/Q3 for the gingerbread release, but first of all, does anyone have a good idea of exactly when I can be expecting it? and will the devs be porting to work with AT&t since they didnt give it to us =[ ..
BY the way , the froyo Roms are great and some are very stable , Im just curious about using a stable gingerbread rom straight from SE.

I think TRIPS 2.3 MIUI ROM will be stable in no time.
Hi m8, from what i can gather SE didn't provide the exact GB release date...yet. the os will be avaiable only for generic non branded devices, so not every one will get it. At&t should be able to tell u if they will be providing the update.
Personally I've debranded my handset and will flash the generic global .435 kernel when the GB os will be released to see if i can get it through pc compilation.
Hope this helps

What I dont understand is that first of, Se announced that the Xperia cpu power wont be enough for futuring android releases and now they are releasing. Whats the logic in that?
rdannar's superarc is awesome..

Hello Guys
First off thank you to everyone for all your hardwork
I am having a problem finding the best Gingerbread rom and the correct basebands that work. I have tried a few and more often than not i have problems with random reboots and error messages. I would like to know which people find out there work the most stable and which combo of rom and basebands please
I have also wondered with Android been an OS for all models of phones can you install a rom on an X10i (my model handset) that has been made and is basically stable as F8*k for example a HD Desire or model that would work on X10i. I think i may know the answer and that been that it isn't possible but i want to ask anyway just to clarify
Lastly a very big thankyou to everyone for all there hard work and time put into the development of the roms so that we can all update our phones when SE couldn't even release updated roms for us. Personally i think it was a case of they didn't release 2.3 for X10i as they had the Arc coming out and 2.3 was probs it's biggest selling point.

Cyanogen CM7.0 RC4 v013 Gingerbread 2.3.3 is the only one I think... arc rom is not really maintained and was more of just a test. you need BB .52 . for me v013 rebooted a lot, but I am going to try v014 later
Hello
Gopdemon thanks for your reply
I have tried both of what you suggested with no luck :-(
I think maybe it's a problem with the baseband rather than the rom?
The GB ROM is unstable right now, even with the custom kernel. I would stick to 2.2 since its like 99-100% done. But you can try this:

Mister J thanks for the link. Thats the rom i am currently on
Thank You
Thanks to everyone that replied. I am now trying to work out which MIUI roms are best with best baseband but always running into issues :-( typed by Kate on behalf of Marti
EDIT: As of August 1, 2011 - CF-Root can now be used for KPN together with its features and mods such as the use of ext4 filesystem and apps2SD.
For more details on this development, go here. Thanks to ketut.kumajaya for making CF-Root compatible to 2.3.3 KPN.
---Original Post---
I have just noticed that almost all dev, Scripts, modification, ROMs coming in for our phone (GT-S5830) is based on XXKPH or 2.3.4. While this is actually good and finally the Galaxy Ace forum is not a legacy forum anymore, I still believe that it would be so much better if there will be a ROM, modification, or customized improvement that will be done using 2.3.3 (KPL or KPN or the upcoming official FW from Samsung on 2.3.3)
Why 2.3.3? (Just because KPH is 2.3.4 doesn't mean that it's better)
It's an official release.
Samsung has improved and fixed quite a number of issues found on previous builds of 2.3.3 (KPN) and even on the leaked 2.3.4 (KPH). This includes the wake-up lag an Wifi Sleep of Death.
2.3.3 is already available via KIES (as of KPE build)
2.3.3 might be improved further. As you may notice, for now, the European countries are getting the 2.3.3 (KPE - Russian, KPK - Still a European Release, KPL - Poland, KPN - Spain). Imagine when it becomes available in KIES in America and Asia. There might be new bug fixes and improvements.
The reasons above makes 2.3.3 KPL, KPN a more stable version of Gingerbread for the Ace already. Actually, IMO it is really the most stable firmware for the Ace.
Most of all, 2.3.4 KPH might not be continued until the next Android version for Smartphones (which could probably take years before it reaches Galaxy Ace)
Current ROM on 2.3.3.
Currently, VillainROMv1 is the only ROM for the Ace that is based on 2.3.3 (KPE). It may not be one of the fastest custom ROMs out there for the Ace but it's one of the most stable because of using 2.3.3 as its base.
Still, even if this is the case, it would still be nice to have a new custom ROM based on 2.3.3 (probably KPN or newest build when it's released) because at the end of the day, a stable and fast ROM is what everyone is looking for.
Maybe if I don't work, I may have tried on cooking a ROM for 2.3.3 (KPN) but for now, let this post be an inspiration for devs and scripters to have a look at the latest official release of Samsung firmware for the Ace.
Your Opinion
What do you think? Have you tried using 2.3.3 KPN? Have you tried using custom ROMs built on KPH? Which ROM or firmware is more stable and faster?
What's the greatest combination that worked for you and lasted on your phone for more than 1 week?
i absolutely agree with above - not just because it's official etc. it's LATEST officially tested and released firmware, meaning there's quite a chance sammy fixed sth really annoying like infamous SOD's (and also screwed up elsewhere as usual ) but there always some 'but'...
the whole rom development goes forward along with new builds and usually it's progress (although many would point out kph 2.3.4 -> kpl/n 2.3.3 is not)
other teams, other roms - it is the same story. but it's just point to release new custom versions based on newer builds instead of postponing all development while waiting for THE very last build... let it grow
Yeah atlast we are out of Legacy thing......deserving the right place...... Thanks XDA mods
Using KPN atm. No more random screenshot issues and general stability and speed has improved. Also Three in the U.K are meant to be suppling the 2.3 upgrade next week. So a generic U.K release cannot be far off.

Never knew that the random screen shot was a bug. Encountered a couple of those while in KPH.
Hope someone develop a custom rom based on KPN..
I've been using 2.3.4 KPH for almost 2 months now and (lucky me) I have not experienced any SODs, WiFi crash or something like that.
The upcoming GingerReal seem to use 2.3.4 as its base, CMIIW.

Of course of course. I'm actually thankful that there are a lot of great Custom ROMs now for the Ace like FirstUA and even gingerreal even if it's just in t5b release.
Just saying that it would be nice to have Custom ROMs as well for the KPN at least since it seems like a lot of bugs has been fixed in KPN like the fluctuating/stuck 3g connection (I dont get that now in 2.3.3)
Also, just like the posts above me, the UK version is probably coming very soon. (English FW for the win!) Which could be a good base for Custom ROMs since it's already in english.
Last but not the least, it would be really nice to have a Custom ROM based on KPN or whatever the build for UK firmware will be that does not need a lot of things to do because right now, my friends don't want to flash to a custom rom because they are afraid that they may brick their phones because there are so many things to do in order to flash.
well, lot to do to flash custom from stock, me feel the same that's why i'm rather waiting for tested good custom (gingerreal possibly?) with good tutorial and howto. patience pays back i reckon.
+1 for a KPN based custom rom.
wifi bug is the most annoying!
what modifications are compatible with KPN firmware?
i'm talking about cf-root, dta2sd, juwe's script, the works!
Hi guys,
i'm using KPH now for over a month and i like it very much till now. Im using it because there's a lot of mods and stuff for it at the moment and the near future, that make it even better.
As 4 stability; i think al latest 2.3.3 GB builds are even (only lang. are different i think), but don't know about KPH because it was an earlier release as the 2.3.3 builds. There could be bugs in it indeed, that are gone in 2.3.3 builds, but only time will tell as the builds are to new to tell already.
Maybe in time i will flash my phone to the Dutch firmware when it comes out or use the UK version of 2.3.3, but till then i will stay at 2.3.4.
Cheers!
I may be able to give you a KPN CWM ROM gimme a day or two.

I'm like Saminos. I use this phone most of the time for internet because of work and I'm always traveling. But still, it would be better to see ROMs based on probably the most stable firmware release of Samsung so far.

Hello community, this is my first post. I'm no complete noob. I 'm coming from the symbian s60v5 modding community. Now I own an xperia mini and would like to know if the cyanogen mod is stable and recommendable for it.
Btw: Is German supported by the cyanogen mod?
yesterday I test Cynogenmod 7 (CM7) and install it on Xperia Mini Pro but I got some problem such as:
> touchscreen not working
> bootloop (yes, I already clear the cache / data / system in CWF but still-)
so I will say 'no' because its still unstable
most of cyanogenmods have bugs. i have used it in my x10 mini pro. i'd no recomment it because xperia mini have 1ghz processor + 512 mb ram which run hvga screen. you dont need to overclock it. + androjd version is latest. so better stick with stock rom
Thank you. Maybe the Cyanogen 9 will be better. What about the FXP - Project? Any experiences with that? What mod are you using? Or do you use stock rom?
i m using stock and pretty satisfied with it.
FXP is also based on cyanogenmod.
We still have 3 newer firmwares from Sony (4.0.2.A.0.58 , .61 , .62 that not have yet been released worldwide. And in 3 months official Android 4 is coming. Why bother with unofficial ones? What are the benefits ?
On older X10 mini was logical because Sony didn't upgrade past android 2.1.

and also sony ericssons stock rom is best looking rom in my opinion
Maybe you are right. Sounds all pretty logic. Is it possible to OC the CPU? Is it dangerous?
(I think I need to mod something. I 'm addicted to that. Even Symbian was crap, I could do a lot of modding with it. It was easy and it was fun. I 'm unsure if I would be able to sit on stock and wait for ICS)
What about languages and keyboard that has always been a big problem in symbian modding. How is that here?

yes you can overclock but only in custom rom. thats not dangerous if you know the limits . but right now people are experiencing some problems with custom kernels like screen doesn't responds after flashing a custom kernel. so you better skip it for now.
dont know about what do you meant by keyboard and languages but that's never been a problem to me.
Dear Viewpad 7 users,
Everybody says our beloved Viewpad 7 is too old for Ice Cream Sandwich but thats not true. I own a Galaxy Ace which has the same CPU only the turbo version which runs @ 800Mhz. And it runs ICS like a dream.
The Viewpad 7 is overclockable to 864Mhz and maybe with a better kernel it can go even higher. So it has enough preformance for ICS. I can even run ICS on my Phone @ 600Mhz.
So whatever they say ICS on our Viewpad 7 is possible..
Even the Legendary HTC G1 gets Ice Cream Sandwich.
You can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym4A82ft5pw
Please Developers help us port ICS to our Viewpad!
Good news for my viewpad7. Thank you for new information.
it would be great but we still not even got gingerbread so dont wanne get mij hopes up
+1, I use my Commtiva N700 daily and would love to have ICS running on it. Bought ~3yrs ago and still beats most tablets for features!

Excuse me, not to rain on the parade or something, but what's the status on those ITE driver things ? Were the sources for them ever released ?
Those seem kinda important for the whole "port ICS" project, as far as I can tell...

No problem it isnt raining yet
The driver will not be a problem, but apparently a overclocked kernel might break the ITE driver.
However ICS can run on our device without overclocking
And there probably is a way around this issue anyway
Happy to help if I can
If I can get some support getting drivers, etc. I would be more than happy to generate an ICS ROM. I am very experienced in modifying stock roms (and specifically with the ViewPad 7), and have AOSP ready for mods. I need some assistance in knowing exactly what to extract from the stock rom in order to make sure wifi, etc work... So if someone more experienced in that wants to help out as an advisor we can make this happen pretty quickly.
I need to help, but I'm noob for linux's os. Now I try to collect the infomation with my bad english and google translate. If someone have a time please post link step-by-step howto port and that will very helpful for starter and noober. Thank you.

That is awesome they released something for ICS for VPAD7 but it doesn't solve the problem of ARM6 not being supported by flash. They have the architecture but they just stopped working on it. So basically we get the look of ICS but still on 2.2.2 level of performance? Is it an improvement or just cosmetic?

Yes ICS brings alot of improvements with it. Indeed sadly the flash support is indees limited.
PS: What do you mean ICS is released for Viewpad 7 ?
No 2.3 still
Good news but the problem that i can see developers stopped creating ROMs for VP7 - they stopped working on 2.3 and i can't find anything re that to update my VP7 so hope they will look back to create more ROMs for ICS and GB as well as i am afraid of the speed with ICS
Any news on JB for Viewpad 7
Hi Friends,
I'm a noob on Android. I was looking for someone to advise what we would need to create the JB ROM for Viewpad 7. I know we will need drivers for the chipsets on the VP7. But there must be so many other things needed as well. Is there any developer who can help or even guide. I'm willing to do what is needed. I really want to get JB on this.
What I do know is we have:
CPU: Qualcomm MSM7227
WiFi: AR6000 Chipset
GPU: ARDENO 200
I also know that the above chipsets are used on the Xperia X10 and as such the Xperia X10 has a working (if not stable) JB ROM.
SO any one out there, please help.
Thanks

So, sorry to ask this here but no "General" forum for the Ray unfortunately...
My wife's Gingerbread Ray is showing some signs of fatigue and I want to update it in order to start with a fresh new Rom.
It's running stock 2.3 right now and I'm not excited to update to the official 4.0 as I've read quite a lot about its very poor reactiveness.
I am planning to go with a custom Rom. I know my wife won't like to change of UI so I'm looking for an optimized official version. But if the phone does get way more responsive with an aosp/cm9 ROM (and I'm pretty sure it will), aosp/cm9.
The thing is that it has to be stable and fully functional cause I won't be updating it daily. Actually, if it was my phone, I would test roms out for a week or two, but it's a no go here : I will have to find the right one right away or she won't be happy !
So what is the best, stable, fast, fully-functional 4.0 ROM out there ? If such thing doesn't exist yet and if I should wait a while, tell me. I'll wait.
Thanks !
the latest 4.0.4 is quite ok, have u tried it?
I think you should ask jj doctor to give you an old jj hyrid rom. Its aosp and stable.Or wait some more time when he relese the final version for 3.0 ROM
