What's up guys. I need some help picking the best ROM for me. I know there's tons of them on here, by I'm a novice to Android, and honestly don't even really get te difference between firmware and a ROM. I want some very specific feature which is also why I made this thread seeking your help.
I'm an old iPhone user.. did all the jailbreaking and all myself and even though I think the TB is better than my old iPhone I would love to incorporate some of the "fluidity" it had. Specifically I'm looking a ROM that wouldn't interrupt my music when I get a text to play to notification sound, instead play it on top of the song playing at the moment. I would also like to initiate access the play/pause skip buttons without having to unlock my TB, like double pressing the home button on an iPhone and the play buttons pop up even if you weren't playing any music.
The last and most important to me would be this one: on the iPhone there is a security option that if you have a password set and let's say the phone is stolen and someone tries unlocking the phone more than an allowed number of times(set by the user) it erases EVERYTHING on the phone. These are all I can think off right now. Like I said, I'm a novice to Android and I will appreciate any help and advice I can get. I already had my TB rooted but I just updated the verizon firmware on my TB not knowing that it would un-root it.. so I'm trying to find a ROM ASAP.
Thanks
Edit: I would also like to make my TB run on gingerbread and improve the battery life.
I suggest BAMF roms. I'd give you the website link but I may get banned for it.

It's really about trying them out for yourself. Alot of what you want is available through apps. Not even sure you need to root.
As far as bamf ROMs, they decided to leave xda but if you google them, you should find them.
XDA does not like you linking other sites that do the same thing.
I suggest them because they ate always updating their roms, they have a good group of people happy to assist you, and the roms are just really well done. Chingy does great work too. But apparently posting to another forum gets you banned these days. Google "Team BAMF". :-]

it is against the rules on xda, and its their site.
OP, I've been using gingertheory, which is a gb rom with a hybrid sense of 3.0 and 2.1. Very smooth and fast. The same dev also makes a senseless version of GB that is very light and you can add custom lockscreen to that can have audio controls.
EFoxwell said:
Since when did they start enforcing all the rules. I forgot... They cherry pick them. Back on topic, cm7 rc1.2 is good. If you aren't into sense, it is definitely my #1 suggestion.

every tech forum I have used over the years will ban someone for advertising their new site. Guess trying to protect the site.
You seem to really have a problem with this. Why not just move on instead of complaining in every thread.
Eh, dont waste your time with bamf. Synergy is where its at IMO. If youre still kinda new, Droid Theory does awesome support. Hes one of the nicest people Ive seen on the boards, but he doesnt consider himself a Dev. lol. Ive heard CM7 is real nice too though if you arent so much of a sense fan.

The one that fits your needs the best, which may or may not reflect the opinions of those in the thread. In short, you need to research and/or try many different ones. The lazy way of asking others won't give you the best results.
Synergy is my favorite. I've tried CM7, BAMF 3.0, Gingertheory, Injectedtheory, and Tesla Coil.
CM7 was my second fav, but Synergy was just farther ahead in development. They are doing nightlys now and things are very smooth. Running on the newest leaked GB base and radio, and it runs on ziggys kernel, which seems to be second to none.

Patience, grasshopper. Read a little about CM7 before flashing it (a few pages in the development thread itself) and you will be enlightened
Non-wordy sans tao-like answer: What the other guy (ddgarcia05) said. ↑↑
where can I find cm7? I've looked for it all after noon unsuccessfully... all I was able to find is this updated which just made my phone booth the cm7 intro/launch thing loop endlessly on my phone.

Now that Netflix has officially come out for the Thunderbolt, I am sticking with the official MR2 ROM that is the same as stock but rooted and deodexed. All of the apps I want to run work fine plus I have root for things like Titanium, LBE Privacy Guard, SetCPU and VNC so I see no reason to change. I was considering it for Netflix but since that works fine there is no need to. Perhaps when the other roms have stable releases rather than just nightlies/betas/RCs I will switch to a custom rom.

Issue with video recording on XRon
i've been running Xron RC1 for about a week and was stunned to find that everything was working perfectly! Sure enough last night i attempted to record a video of my kids with the standard htc video recording app and I get FC's every time I try and start recording.
I can however use qik and it seems to record and store it well.
thoughts? / suggestions.
Evo 3d
Rooted, rom'd, themed.
I think all the ROMs are about the same speed wise. The question is do you want it to look stock or do you want something thats been themed? Some are heavily themed you wouldn't even know it was the 3D. Others are just a few modifications to better the look. Also the other question is what apps do you want some ROMs are completely striped of everything others are untouched and yet others have just the apps the DEV feels are necessary.
So those are the things you really need to look at and some can only be addressed by actually flashing the ROM and using it. Example flash a ROM and everything is great then you realize that the "Recent Apps" is gone from the Notification Pulldown that maybe a deal breaker for you.
Flash them all take notes see what YOU like and what gets the job done. At the end of the day only you can make the final call.
Ignore the trolls.. last I checked this is the Q&A section guess questions aren't allowed either. Its one of "those guys" they made a mod and some people have left because of it.
Of course I like my ROM the best
Would like to make this a poll if possible...
Just curious how long do you all like to keep the Rom's on your phone for...
Do you...
[] Find something and see what sticks and wait till the next update?
[] Flash the newest thing that available?
[] Flash the one with the most replies in a thread?
[] Google and cross reference the info here with Google and then pick one and stay with it
[] Not care and do your flashes an a whim?
[] Run stock and just come here to see whats out and convince yourself to root?
I try to flash the newest thing available and mess with it before returning to what's tried and true like ShoStock.
*If any mod see's this please be kind and turn it into a poll. Thanks*
with the captivate, I found myself flashing something every couple days because it was very slow and unreliable. With this phone, its so fast and reliable that I generally stick with what I have until the next update. But occasionally, I'll get the itch to flash something different so that happens once in a while, too.
I've tried all the ROMS to see which one I like best. Once I find the one that works for me that becomes my default as a nandroid backup.
If a new ROM comes out and it's stable then i try it and see how good it is. Same with Kernels
See my current config on my sig below
[X] Flash the one with the most replies in a thread?
That's what I did the first time.
Just sticking it out now and waiting for something different, I really just want a theme selection that's what I get bored of.

I miss that like crazy, but iOS is one version while we have thousands of roms and phones.
There is some universal themes in the i9100 section, it was posted somewhere here but not everything worked correctly.
Still running manually debloated Hellraised VillainROM 3. I usually only flash other stuff to confirm/reproduce bugs with said other stuff.
I, of course, am flashing kernels all the time, most of which never go beyond my phone. Less often lately as I try to come up with test cases for the regression I'm hunting.

I used to be a flashing addict, but I've recovered. I want my device to Just ****ing Work™. Downtime=bad.
I think I flash way to much I have 3 sd cards.one for hellrasie Tom's one for cm7/miui based and another for i777 roms.I normally try each update of a rom and I always make backups.I do agree with you guys it would be nice to have like a winterboard or like cydia for android.

I used to flash a lot. I finally figured most stock roms are more or less the same. I keep them in nandroid the ones I like.

I'm impatiently waiting for the ICS.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I typically find something that works the best and stick with it. And anytime it's updated, check out what's added, then manually implement what I want from it. I also keep an eye on other roms' updates and implement some of those features as well.
i too have flashed almost every rom avail. and every single one thats gingerbread based is freakin too alike. a few theme changes here and there but still seems like all the same ****. so i stopped flashing. cm7 was good for awhile until i found miui. love the looks and different themes are endless. phone flies as well. been rockin miui for months and its rock solid. now if cm9/ics would show up... feeling the itch coming on to flash.

I try to flash something new at least once a week but I always go back to SHOstock. Its definitely my favorite so far. I usually read a little about the from and if it sounds decent ill flash it and I don't like it I just restore from my nandroid backup and all is well.

It's international so you'll have to hellraise it. Works so good. Seems to be on par with Villian for battery life, and that's saying alot.
As to flashing, I usually change roms once every 2 to 3 weeks. It takes a notable feature to get me to jump. Seems about every 2 to 3 weeks that happens

The two ROMs I use:
Mean ROM: everything works. Uses the Ziggy kernel which is stable with great battery life. Very active dev (new release every few days) and very active user community. Has Beats working without the headphone hiss. This ROM looks mainly stock with some addons included or flashable.
Nocturnal Adrenaline: everything works. Uses the Anthrax kernel which is slightly worse on battery, but a little better in performance. Active dev (new releases about once every week or two) and active community of users. Less stock look since Leedroid tweaks are built in and some of the widgets and apps are inverted.
I flashed version a 2.2 ZR3D rom and it is great. Really sped my phone up!

X2. I am not new to rooting, but just recently finally rooted my Evo3D. Tried several different ROMs. I found that Mean ROM was very stable, very quick and snappy, everything works, and very active dev, as stated before. Many that use Mean are changing to the Anthrax kernel to go even faster, but the Ziggy kernel that comes stock on the ROM works great, and is a huge improvement over stock.
I AM looking forward to an ICS ROM that has everything working. Every time I try a ROM with something as a know issue not working, I think it will be no big deal to do without. Then I find that is the feature I miss the most. So I choose to stay with fully functional ROMs. Just my opinion...

Most of the roms have both cores enabled which will cause that battery issue.
IMO if you're going to go with an ICS ROM, Cool ICS is the best. No dual core nonsense, the right amount of tweaks, and just a good normal ROM.

Ugh not again.
First we need to know if you are GSM or CDMA.
And second, there is no "best" rom. All roms are created differently, for people with different wants and needs. And every rom will run differently on every phone. So just flash one, try it out for a day or two, and if you don't like it, try another.

And second, there is no "best" rom. All roms are created differently, for people with different wants and needs. And every rom will run differently on every phone. So just flash one, try it out for a day or two, and if you don't like it, try another.

This. Don't listen too much about what others say pick a Rom based on what you want and give it a go.

Since your location says Boise, I'm guessing CDMA on Sprint. I personally like ZR3dX as my daily driver (see my signature). As others have said, I recommend that you try some out and find the one you like best.
I personally use MeanRom ICS but Im about to try the Genesis Rom... Ill let you know how this one works out :laugh:

Don't know if you were leaving it open to all, but I'll answer anyway. Rom is great, but in an effort to increase performance, the battery life isn't there for me. I think Mikey was in the process of balancing battery and performance when the lte came out. Since he is waiting until the ota to update, I'll try it again then.

Gotcha. I'm thinking maybe another kernel based on the just released ICS kernel source might enhance battery life and stability.

I am using the mikey's meanrom v2.4 and it has been real stable. I also used the zr3 rom, but it did not have polaris office build into it, and I needed that since I get emails with documents attached. Didn't see any reason to purchase something that is in the mean rom. The zr3 rom is more customized, where meanrom appears to be more stock to me, but that is just my opinion.
I had no performance issues with either.
Have fun!

You can copy the Polaris app from Mean to Zr3dx. I think all you have to do is take the apk, copy it to system/app, change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.
