heres the skinny:
if you dont have time to read, comprehend, and understand what you are doing to your phone, you dont need to do anything to it.
if you want to get pissy because you didnt understand the difference between a firmware version and a rom, then fine. this website is not here to 'make your phone cool'

I'm hoping that the dev for UnNamed will incorporate a newer 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 base for their roms soon for further development. Maybe they're waiting for ICS like most other Devs?

The ROM Dev has to recreate the ROM on that base. Currently UnNamed is based off 2.3.4 and the dev will have to redo all his mods he incorporated in the 2.3.4 base into the new 2.3.6 base or other..... which he decides if at all. So basically you are at the mercy of the rom dev.

gtg's policy is just like mine - Unless there is a MAJOR reason to rebase on a leak, we don't do it. Leaks are a major hassle for ROM developers (and kernel devs) unless the leak offers a major feature. UXKG3 (Rogers Gingerbread) for the Infuse was such a ****ty release it actually did make sense to pull stuff from the AT&T leaks, however, completely rebasing onto them caused tons of problems for gtg (broken GPS, broken modems, wonky data, etc.) when he tried to pull in too much. In the end all he did was pull the camera libs (the only significant improvement).
So you'll see UnNamed move to 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 when an official AT&T update comes out based on it, or a MAJOR feature shows up (and even then, it's more likely to just get backported like the camera libs on Infuse.)

Hello, noob here! My OTA update failed so I installed UnNamed v2.1.1 (Based on UCKK6, Android 2.3.6). Everything works fine, but I notice that scroll-bounce effect (the bouncing at the end of scrolling) is replaced by a glow. Anyone knows if this also happens to the official UCKK6 update? I would love to have the scroll-bounce back without going back to stock Android 2.3.4

Hey guys, while I understand that questions don't normally go here, I figured this one was ok because it hasn't really been asked before and it seems like a pretty important question. I was wondering which devs were porting the captivate froyo rom to the vibrant? Unfortuanantly, I can't code, but I'm certainly willing to donate and beta test if someone is up to the job. Fyi, I know this is already posted in q&a , I'll request its deletion.
-thanks, bobofosho123
Eugene373 is working on it. But apparently it suffers the same issues as the i9000 leaks.

I've used it, but the wifi doesn't work, there still isn't a "bug-free" enough version of froyo for the vibrant to justify me flashing it, which I've done in the past only to revert to some other 2.1 rom, all i really want is flash though...I don't care about froyo too much beyond that.
Eugene_373 tweeted he had it running on his and he would have an upload soon.
*Shrug* past that.
All I know is that I'm running Froyo_R3 on my Vibrant, and have yet to really run into any problems besides the fact that randomly the messaging app will open something else random. That got fixed with ChompSMS

I thought wifi was still broken on Eugene's latest froyo rom, correct? Last time I flashed the froyo_r3 rom it caused my phone to spazz out and keep cycling through off and the lock screen. Has that been fixed?
GPS is going to be Broken until we get a Leak, it's not like we have source!
Linpack? Quadrant? Sad if you Depend on those score's to consider it Fast
Regarding R3, Key mapping issue & GPS is Broke, that's about it.
Regarding the ATT build, I have it running fine, but why Post it when it has the same issue's as the I9000 but worst! The key mapping could be fixed on the ATT but the ATT kernel has Sounds issue that can't be fixed as it's kernel related..

Hello everyone,
I am getting my rezound Monday and have a few questions, as unlock/root will be first things to do (Not an android newb, but have been away for a while). I have read many threads but haven't found info on these.
1. Using unlockHTC dev will set security to OFF?
2. Can ROMs be flashed via CWM or Amon_RA equally? Or each ROM is different?
3. Best gingerbread bloat reduced ROM?
4. Best kernel?
Thanks! I am sorry if I have missed any of these, but I really did read a lot!!!!

1. HTC's unlock tool will only give you an unlocked bootloader, you will still have S-ON unless you're one of the lucky ones who got a S-OFF device, it's unknown if people are still working on getting full S-OFF.
2. Can be flashed either way but Amon RA seems to be the most complete experience currently, might just be me, but using Amon also helps you gain root easily.
3. Probably CleanROM by Scott, somebody double check me on that, I went straight into ICS.
4. There's only the stock kernel right now basically.
There's ICS kernels with ICS ROMs and GB kernels with GB ROMs, learn the difference or you'll get an error, but no custom kernels yet.
Good luck.
1. No. Rezound does not have s-off.
2. Use Amon Ra. CWM is not recommended as it is buggy on this phone. In fact, the thread for it has reportedly disappeared from the dev forum according to a thread in general forum.
3. Personal choice. Each ROM has different features. I'm loving Ineffabilis, I like the tweaks and there's the RedZound Theme made for this ROM that makes it gorgeous especially when coupled with the Red Beats Skin and the icon pack I'm using.
4. I don't know that much about these but I've been trying out dsb without major issues. I'm still working on the CPU settings and trying to improve battery life. ziggy's kernel seems to have issues with bootlooping. And people seem to like Incredikernel.

I would love to ride ICS, but I do need reliability so I am going to hold out and do gingerbread for now. I got the rezound after having lg spectrum for like a week and seeing no dev support. Got the lg after being with iphone 4s for a few months and that's all I could tolerate!
I will keep reading. There are so many ROMs which is fantastic but just made the step one harder for me.
ICS is very stable and reliable for the Rezound. Lots of us are using it as their daily driver.

yea ICS is def stable enough for Daily use dont worry ... i use it all the time with no problems
Awesome!!!! Which ICS would be nice and stable? I don't mind sense but absolutely hate vzw bloat.
I am going to go thru the ROMs...will look at bug reports and stability. Thank you for the help.
If you use bluetooth audio streaming, stay away from the ICS roms, otherwise they are pretty solid.
I would definitely give SenselessROM 1.1 a try. I've installed all of the ROMs that are currently on the development forum and this one is definitely my favorite. The ICS ROMs are nice, but there are some really small things that bugged me about them. Like the previous posters have said though, they are fully functional and can be used for daily use. I just prefer the look of Senseless. It also only uses around 300MB of RAM.

I'm really liking Senseless-4.0.3-ICS-v1.0.0 by newtoroot. Just read the thread, notably page 40, to make sure you have the correct kernal. I'd also make sure you get the OTA update applied before unlocking and flashing anything.
If you want Sense, Scott's CleanRoms are great, whether the Gingerbread or ICS version.

As long as HTC keeps their word about wanting all bootloaders unlocked, you shouldn't have to worry about any OTAs breaking your ability to re-root. And if they did. There would most likely be a huge back-lash from the community.

I have lots of my old unreleased roms stored up and am curious if you guys would like them.
These are the 2.2.1 i9000 releases, with signal fixes and home key haptic feedback.
The ones I haven't done I can get done in about a half hour. In fact, to get back in the swing of things, I have been redeodexing, fixing signal reboot and adding haptic to them one at a time - very helpful as a learning experience for me as my "Chemo Brain" sucked tons of knowledge away and I have to relearn a lot of it.
Anyway, do you guys have any interest in these or any of my unreleased past roms? I don't want to start a new thread if there is no demand for it.

Are they all pretty much the same? 2.2.1 based, differently themed etc. I honestly don't know how much you can change in like 8 ROMS on the same firmware.
If they are, I would just say Make one ROM thats the most stable; and then put the others as themes possibly for that one ROM?
I think you should also move along to ICS as the other devs have done, possibly join one of the devs and work with them rather than creating the same ROM, like there are right now about 8 AOKP Roms, which run the same, have a different kernel.
I'm interested in stock style 2.2 roms. Now that megauploads is gone most of the links in here are dead and we're stuck with ICS roms aren't 100% working or 2.2 roms that are so tweaked they're unreliable at best.

I did and had either problems with bluetooth, gps, mute/unmute, mic problems (which killed my bt headset), or all of them at the same time. They were all pretty bad. I need a phone that 100% works and ICS hasn't offered that yet. When it does I might switch but right now I'm content on near stock 2.2. All out speed isn't worth reliably IMO.
Jellete, i'm interested. I still have your BOJS5 rom on my sdcard. I'm sure people will love your new rom. Thanks

I had started a thread I just got the official ICS Upgrade
In that thread some had indicated that a custom ROM should
be used and not the the official ICS Upgrade from AT&T.
In an effort to not get that thread of track i will ask here:
What is the real difference with the AT&T Official ICS ROM and the Custom ROMs?
I am fully aware AT&T has loaded a bunch of junk in,
and I went through and disables and deleted much of it.
But what truly is so awful about it?
And if it truly is so bad, what is the "Correct" ROM to use?
Thank you
No such thing as correct or incorrect, it is all personal taste. Some might like one ROM over another. Does that make it better than another? Nope.
Take cars for example. Some people like to leave it stock. Some might like to increase its performance and add engine modifications. Some might like it to handle the roads better so they might upgrade its suspension. Others might like to change its appearance and paint it and add body-kits. Is one car better than the other? Depends on who you ask.

not taste/opinion in the fact(from their history) that the coding is a mess. and broken everywhere.
You come to a developer forum to run fully stock?
That's what goes through my head when I see people afraid of flashing.
If you want the AT&T firmware at least wait for somebody to post a debloated version since your going to disable them anyways or actually learn how to do it yourself. Since you have access to the forum with so much information.
Maybe take it 1 step further and grab the AT&T firmware and customize it to your liking, you don't even have to post it just use it.
This isn't a great thread cause Versus threads go nowhere...

There are many different things. Mods add to the functionality of the phone. Take the 14 toggle mod for instance, no need to enter settings to change common things. Skip tracks with volume buttons. You can also increase battery life with various kernels by UV/uc. It allows you to make your phone function and do what you want it to. The stock firmware is too limiting in this ability

Of course there is an increase in functionality or else why would devs create custom ROMs. What each ROM has that differs from others are listed in their respective threads. Check it out and see if any interest you. If you are satisfied with stock, stay stock. Not a big deal.

Honestly, I used to hang around here for the community - but that's quickly turning me into a simple lurker.
I'm extremely interested in the developers work. However, I find that the stock factory firmwares are every bit as good or stable as anything that gets turned out in the dev areas. The stock ROMs also do everything I need and want. Plus, I don't like AOSP Android, and that seems to be what everybody is focusing on these days. Also, the 3rd party roms generally have too much changed, removed or added for my tastes.
Edit: Oh, and while I generally like the OEMs code, I have no problem using a good 3rd party kernel.
AT&T releases are typically buggy. The developers here either fix those bugs, or use firmware bases from the international version that are more robust and stable. It is too early to know what bugs this UCLE5 release may contain, but the original AT&T UCKH7 firmware had lockscreen security issues, the official AT&T update UCKK6 broken bluetooth hid and serious power management issues. The AT&T ICS leaks leading up to this version, UCLD3 and UCLD4 had a very serious flaw in the kernel which caused several people with the I777 to lose their device due to eMMC chip damage. Since the kernel source code for the current official AT&T UCLE5 has not been released yet, it is not possible to confirm that the kernel supplied with the UCLE5 release is free of this serious issue. Therefore, it would be advisable to either not run this firmware, or use a modified rooted version in which the kernel is replaced with a known safe kernel.

Thank you for a very clear explanation.

Honestly, I used to hang around here for the community - but that's quickly turning me into a simple lurker.
I'm extremely interested in the developers work. However, I find that the stock factory firmwares are every bit as good or stable as anything that gets turned out in the dev areas. The stock ROMs also do everything I need and want. Plus, I don't like AOSP Android, and that seems to be what everybody is focusing on these days. Also, the 3rd party roms generally have too much changed, removed or added for my tastes.

you definitely haven't been running an android device if you say this (marked in BOLD). Considering the fact that for our device in particular, they have released BS that is not only buggy as hell, but has bricked a ton of devices. I think you should probably do a little research before making such bold comments. :laugh:
I got board enough to try the full LE5 including kernel. So far better than D4 and previous ics. Tegrak works as it does on the 9100 base kernels so that tells me i777 is catching up or has caught up. Could be just odex, but all benchmarks higher than on any of the aokp or 9100 sammy roms I've tried.
I'd like to see someone customize this if it remains stable. I've added 15 toggle from other roms, but I jusy like having firmware meant for device.
I-777 UCLE5
Tegrak oc/uv 1.452 ghz
Stable & Fast

I've been running Android devices and flashing firmwares since 2009.
I also haven't seen any of the bugs or issues mentioned on this forum. Doesn't mean they don't exist. The stock 2.3 rom that came with my GS2 from AT&T was amazingly, impressively stable compared to what came with my Vibrant, or even ANY of the community roms for it.
UCLE5 bug:
unable to use wide image for wallpaper, so you can only get a fixed wallpaper, not a scrolling wallpaper. This bug was present in the leaks, and has not been fixed in the official release.

Yes, many would not care. Many would. Ask AT&T or Samsung, and they will probably say it is a feature.
So as I understand it, the Photon has drivers issues which is why we dont have a port of for instant a droid bionic version of moto ICS, or moto jellybean. I am wondering what we need to get a kernel going. If this happened this would open up the possibility for doing webtop on a non stock rom.(Which I really would love cm 10.1 with ubuntop) I have been using linux for many years and am familiar with compiling and modifying kernels and packages I am just still new with android I came from the Epic 4G. I just would like to be pointed in the right direction or maybe someone who already makes kernels has attempted this and we could work together.
Thanks for your time.
You need source from Motorola and whatever company it was that Apple bought. You can try the Compendium thread for kernel links but as of now a new kernel is highly unlikely.
So then maybe we should look into writing our own? I mean if they can do it why can't we?

There's a thread over in the Atrix 4G forums where some people are working on a port from the Galaxy R kernel. You may want to follow that thread and offer your assistence there, because chances are that any progress that benefits the Atrix will benefit the Photon in the long run.

In theory that is sound, but the Atrix has a much newer kernel version than ours from the start (not sure how that happened with our device being more recent release). If you're planning to try, make sure that you have device protection or a good number of devices to work with....they've already hard bricked one or two from what I had seen.
What drivers are required, and I assume you mean for a 3.x kernel?

Unless you want to rev-eng a couple of parts of the kernel to make the GalaxyR kernel exaclty compatible with the Photon, you won't be able to use the stuff. Sorry.

I was wondering the samething, have heard any news of it, he must not be able to release it.

Yeah, he said he had something special for us, but never told us what it was.

maybe, jut maybe some day it will be leaked.
after the screwing Moto gave us he might as well post it. wtf are they gonna do? lock our damn phones?
My guess is it just never panned out and the guy didn't want to disappoint us. This was around the time of the Atrix leak, and that never amounted to anything, and a bunch of people got let down. It's my theory, which is far from concrete, that the leak included Photon files as well, that also never amounted to anything, but less was said here, so fewer people will be let down. I'm personally not worried. Come whatever may. My phone may not be able to do MMS or camcorder, or run Chrome or Swiftkey Flow, but I like it. It does the things I want it to. And it looks sexy as hell. I'd appreciate this mystery kernel or whatever, but I'm not gonna lose sleep if some mad scientist is holding out. Not saying that's what cybik is (I actually don't know much about him), just saying neither of the two extremes affect me much. And they shouldn't affect y'all either. If you're locked I'm sorry, that sucks, so is my brother, but you can run Holo Launcher/Locker and use either utter!, Maluuba, or Dragon Go! for voice commands/personal assistant, Notification Toggle for, well, the toggles, and Dolphin for your browser, and that puts you fairly close to Android 4. Motoblur can't keep a WiFi lock to save its life, but there are apps for that... I'm trying to test one on my wife's phone, but I'm not getting very good data from it. If you're unlocked, you have a lot of good choices as it is.
I may be an Atrix owner, but if the 2.6.39.4 kernel that is being dev'd for the Atrix is a success, couldn't you take the post-dev'd 2.6.39.4 kernel and port it to the Photon?
