That sure would be nice but alas... not true. Speaking of chief_reloaded, has anyone seen him (not literally of course) around here? It seems like everyone has just left the MTS without a simple goodbye. I remember eugene & htclay bidding farwell but it seems like other devs have just left the stage quietly. May be development is halted somewhat because of the MIA 2.2 ota? Any theories?

Well, Im still here (KingKlick quote kang lol), Im still around and I still troll the threads, but ur right... It is partially because of the missing update for froyo... I thought about what ppl would want in a ROM on the slide and I honestly couldnt come up with an answer... I mean, were running an arm6 device... Meaning ports and such are only possible of things everyones seen before... Legend, Hero, Aria, etc... I dont wanna put out the same old stuff unless ppl actually want that stuff... I did that kinda work on the G1 and MyTouch but it seems those roms are outdated tbh... With CM6 available, I see no reason to do a ROM from source (2.2) cuz thats obviously what CM6 is... So im in the dark for new ideas... If someone wants to start a request thread on ROMs they would like to see be my guest... I will watch it and work on such but i think we have covered all the options already untill we get an espresso 2.2 OTA or another arm6 device gets a sense froyo update... Let me know if ppl have requests... Im nt doin much but would love to put something out ppl want... CR
So I decided to start the thread myself and just C n P the post from the other lol... Im so lazy Anyways.... Give me some ideas of stuff you would like to see while we wait for this vaporware 2.2 OTA we were promised... Im outta ideas tbh and this device seems dead... CR
Reserved for list of ideas and requests throughout the thread so we don't have the same things mentioned over and over....
Its not a rom cuz I'm happy with cm6 but I really want rw access but have been too busy to look at it.

Funny that you created this thread because I was kinda thinking it...
The only Three things that I personally would find very useful are:
a CM6 Rom that had the Market app w/o a T-Mobile button (I want the download button), and with a fully functional keyboard Lights/LED status indicator
A nice Dark theme that was comparable to the Stock OTA ROM (I liked SenseUI), Maybe something like the xRom themes from the 'old' days
And, the third which you are unable to fulfill, is the 2.2 update for the Stock Sense ROM
Besides that.... just like you said, your only finding another way to skin a cat..
Thanks for your time and efforts on the MTS
I would have to agree with that.
My vision 2.2 froyo with rosie.apk with livewallpaper enabled and viewable without aftermarket launcher (aka adw, launcher pro, etc...) sense widgets stock framework.apk (possible ability to customize within system settings "not sure if can or not") id like to keep the dps manager I like the ability to adjust the sound. Complete working keyboard and leds. OC, stagefright enabled. Opera Mini as the standard browser, gapps, and working wifi tether (ad-hoc and usb). Market with download button and I think that would about cover it

So once this 2.2 ota gets leaked for the slide then we.can get full root including enlocking the bootloader.
I am loving my slide but man it gets old not having new stuff too do to it. Guess the g1 got me sPoiled .

I like the eye candy of SenseUI, but prefer the stock mail apps (both GMail and Exchange). It would be nice if we had the ability to use either or both. Other than that, I'm not entirely certain what to ask for.
I have noticed that using your 1.35 OTA ROM, I cannot update Google Maps from the Market. If I do that, Maps won't run. IT FC's and won't execute. I'm not sure what's causing that...
I would like a port of any 2.2 sense rom if there were any mdpi devices with froyo sense. Not too worried about keyboard lights as I hardly use the hardware keyboard anymore
But I figure the g2 is what everyone will move to when its released later this month.

It's kind of nice you made this thread. Ever since G2, most of the people on this board are going to move on. Makes me sad.
This is not a request, or it could be. I hear it's not possible, but I'm not sure and I don't know why it would be?
Everything Espresso, much like your CM_Rom which is pretty much stock, but with additional parts from CM6 and torch, and the ability to change certain features while everything is retained Espresso. That's my perfect rom. Vanilla is nice, but that is so G1. I love it, but Espresso is pretty cool.

Stock "Starred in Android" Functionality
I really miss the stock functionality that lets you star Google contacts as "starred in android" then limit the contacts display to only those contacts. Alternatively, some way to sync those starred Google contacts as faves would work also.

It really bugs me when people say the slide is dead. Go look at the Aria's forum, see how many ROMs and mods they have. It seems kind of ungrateful to Chiefz, Cyan, Biff, Eugene, Dumfuq, and even r0man after all the work they've done for us, for you guys to say our device is dead.
Anyway, I'd love a more functional Aria port.
More themes would be nice, and I'll start doing those myself.
the aria /legend ports are sweet but a more complete pot would be filled with badassery :3

They've all been sayin' it's dead. Who do you think the original poster of this thread is you mentioned?
Some guides or links to some good ones on porting perhaps?
I dont' know to be honest theres not much of a point in seeign diff roms if all that's diff is the apps dir and a theme
I've got thick skin so feel free to throw things.
Watching the forum over the last month I've seen a proliferation of ROMs to the point that I've stopped updating - also partly because my favorite and second favorite teams have stopped putting out new versions. I finally succumbed to the burning urge to try another ROM last night but ended up with buyers "meh."
The ROM environment has become so fragmented that it's hard to know what the advantage of ROM a is over ROM b other than appearance.
A comment from one of the ROM makers brought the problem into sharp focus. "I've renamed my ROM because I didn't know one of my team members already had a ROM named X."
How can you be part of a "team" and not know what's being produced by that team?
It seems like we've got more themers producing work in the form of full ROMs rather than themes. I've got nothing against themers, I love packages that can completely change the look of my device and I'm always on the lookout for cool new themes.
I'd rather see ROM maintainers and themers working together where the former group produces faster and more reliable ROMs while the latter group produces mods for those ROMs.
Do the two groups just not want to work closely together or are there predominantly just mostly lone wolves working at the ROM/theme level in Android?
Wrong section. Suppose to go in q&a (QUESTIONS and answers)

I disagree because it's directly applicable to development and is aimed at the developers. It's not a general q/a question
I agree with this. There's no need to make a "rom" if you just change the theme. Just make a theme and zip it up then post it in the themes section. And oh yea I believe people refer to these people as "winzippers".

OP has a great point about our forum here. Ive really stopped doing anything but for my own use, and with the exception of a few real roms put here, I've watched our Vibrant area here turn into a rom porting paradise, without a lot of original work done by people calling themselves devs. Several of these self proclaimed devs have asked me for help with recent projects, and have then been unable to provide even a simple logcat for diagnosis. If someone cant pull a logcat or understand how to do other basics, you really need to take your time and learn.
It is okay to theme and do little things while you learn, and take the time to put out a quality product, instead of a hurried build thats half broken. We have a slight handful of true devs out here, and a whole bunch of people who want to learn, but seem to be in too much of a hurry to kang others work and not really learn how to build a rom from the ground up. Its a damn shame.

I agree with Br1cK'd. There are a lot of "devs" lately that seem to be kanging together half broken ROM's. I can't tell you how often lately I've flashed something only to find major bugs, when the OP claims that the ROM is 100 percent working and bug free. It seems that most of the more skilled developers have moved on to newer devices. I'm all for people learning but they need to do a lot of quality control before they post their work on XDA.
are you tryna say my team member ferhanmm that did an error ? whats up with you son?>
But then... what actually constitutes a "Rom".
For as far as I know, according to CM6/7/Miui people, only theirs are truly "Roms", as they are built from ground up.
Everything else is just a themed stock Rom, or improvements to existing Sammy framework. (Which I still love btw)
If there were malicious Roms that are purposely bricking systems, then I would argue for stricter requirements for releases. But as it stands, I think the openness of this forum allows users and developers alike to find what makes them happy.
I just think in general, Rom devs/maintainers get more credit (Thanks button hits?) than purely themers. As there is a feeling that themers kind of "work for" Rom Devs... Which is why people tend to package their work as Roms instead of themes (So their work seems less derivative or what not)
Wrong section, but I agree.

first of all about the logcat ? did you learn alone ? i guess that if someone ask you, its nno bad to help is it ? because i bet some one showed you...now about the kang, so almost every rom here is a kang right ? almost all roms based on stocks from i9000s and stocks kb1`s isnt it ?... i guess this people have the right to learn, but seems you guys that already know a little dont like to help huh?
I have more than enough mods on my rom to constitute it not being a theme, and I don't know about you but I don't memorize every rom name out there. It sounded similar so I changed it, what's wrong with that? Since 2.2 has already been tweaked to the max I was able to put out a pretty stable version in the first post. Only things I can really do from here are make it more efficient and finish the theme which I plan to do but I just posted it. And it's my first rom so thanks for the encouragement.
I agree, the forum is filling up with "roms" that are just the same rom rethemed over and over and over again. What annoys me most are these self-proclaimed "devs" who take bits and pieces of other people's work and put them together for their own "rom" when they didn't really write any of it. Just take a look at their credits lol... It's a crazy long list.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having multiple ROMs. After all, everyone will like something different.
I think what the OP is saying though is that there are ROMs out there are essentially the same pieces with different theme, or maybe a new lock screen, and whatnot. I think the OP means little additions like that can be part of a theme or the theme & apps forum and could be added to any ROM and doesn't warrant releasing a new ROM under a new name and new dev.

I did my first root about two month ago. Since then I have tried about 20 various roms or updates to them. I tried one last week that seemed to be a copy from an established developer. The other team got really pissy and used alot of immature slang when confronted. I will no longer use any roms from them. I agree that people should learn from the ground up before posting roms and stop the plagiarism.
I appreciate the hard work of the legitimate developers on this site.

OMG!!!!! The past couple of days it's raining roms on xda. That's a nice thing (I suppose) so maybe they can move the forum from low activity devices back to front page???
I can't think of the traffic here when official CM comes outs!!!!! Will be having many moded versions of that
Maybe I am wrong but all these ROMs are only eye candy, nothing spectacular.
I agree, mostly(/all) are just themed stocks or CMs with the usual scripts and some apps added...
None off them has something really unique. The last good thing imho was the pdroid-patched thing, the next "big" thing i guess will be the official CM7. And maybe after this the unofficial CM9, if it gets usuable (as it isn't right now i guess).
any idea when the official cm7 will be out?

its really true, many ROMs this days
so many to choose...

I just want MIUI to be ported, and then I won't be needing any other rom.
Best "custom" ROM is stock with things I manually added after installing it. Its stock XXKPP, b84 fixed, turbo boost, lagfree, ext4, SetCPU 122-883MHz, Roboto font, removed a lot of stupid apps(TB), frozen market updater, Adw launcher with ICS dock, wallpaper and icons and that's it. All done by me step by step and working flawlessly.
Well,the only developer that works constantly on scripts for SGA is slaid480..Check does not work full time on scripts for ace..I am talking about rom scripts here,not roms or kernels...Do we have a choice?The answer is NO.You guys should be thankful to the handful of devs that we have got..Thanks to slaid480.We have all those awesome scripts..And tell me,you guys say roms are not good enough,that all of them are the same..Can you give me a few suggestions??We don't have ICS,Official CM9 or MIUI..The only thing we have,Froyo and GB..Its easy for you guys to think from a viewer's point of view...But hunk from a developer's point of view and you will get it..We are struggling to get some working good roms here and here some guys are,telling that all the roms are ****..
There's no chance we are going back to main forum or something..Just take a look at the forums of the defy and sga sections..you guts will be thunderstruck,i tell you.They have a huge number of developers,they get very good things,which gives them choice.and thats something we don't have,unless some awesome dev chooses to switch to sga..No offense to anyone.I am just telling the fact,we need to be satisfied with what we have got,not tell that whatever we have got is ****...

Well spoken Prawesome!
Not all but most Roms coming up are more or less "just " a compilation of stuff the Devs give to the Community. The Devs gave us what we have, started with base and ended with the fine tuning .. We should, and in my case, I will not forget about this fact.
I am happy about every Rom that pops up and thankful to whoever made it but it's clear : nothing would work without the Dev who made it.

I'm looking for a rom that is similar to the Look of MIUI (obviously nothing will be very similar) but maybe something resembles it in some ways. I've recognized that there are 2 tpos of roms, the ones that follow the generic, gingerbread frame, or ICS frame (aokp, unamed, phonebricker, ICSrewed, CM7/9 etc.) and then MIUI, who kinda does their own design. I've been partial to MIUI ever since I laid my hands on it.
Reason why I'm asking for a look-a-like is because I've been running the scottish one for some time (1.11.9) but she's had the no service bug issue for some time now where everytime I attempt to make a call, 80% of the time it'll lose service and it takes like 4 tries or so till my call goes through. Unacceptable. Yet I can't keep myself away from the build. It's just so speedy. Wish I could have a more recent build for my I777 but I can't find one anywhere. I've also tried a million builds for the regular MIUI, 2.2.3 V2 being the most recent one I could find (I believe that's the most recent? I literally searched for hours), but this build also has the same call service drop bug. Can't stand it.
Can anyone help with my situation? Currently running MIUI V4 ICS, and it's sweet and all but it's wrecking my brain with how slow it isss . Anything similar to MIUI or help with a fix or newer version. Mucho appreciated!!!
Btw I'm no noob to flashing, have flashed at least 20 different roms and all, just wondering if there is anything I missed...in terms of what I'm looking for. Cus I hate settling.

Hahah idk, I was reading up on all these bugs that I haven't really heard of in the general MIUI builds. I'm using it though and it's snappy pappy. Except going back from a conversation message, to just the conversation list. It reverts quickly, but the text doesn't load as quick as the transition. Annoyanceeeee lol. Idc though...sorta. Is good though. Is real good. Wondering if it's worth bumpin up to ICS V4 cus I didn't realize RIUI and AdyScorp were making roms like this. Trying to decide whether upgrading is worth the stupid notification swipe or not. So annoying.

MIUI sucks because it is so slow and in development. The only thing that is great about it is it's interconnected community and even app. Which is all JUST SHOW if you know how to flash your own ROMs.

I have nothing against all the Samsung Touchwiz based Roms. I just plain don't like em. I have two things that I need personally, and that is speed, and an appealing look/design. Although CM7/CM9 can have a...functional/sophisticated look to them, they aren't quite as unique and sophisticated as the MIUI themes. Namely, CM is all very square and proper, while MIUI seems to be a little more accommodating if you will. I like to speed through things, and I'm particular about the way I do things. For example: when texting someone I like to send a text, then go back to the conversation list, so that when I get a new text I can see who it was from. I used UnNamed rom for a little bit (a month maybe) - and also tried ShoStock because I'd heard a lot about that too. I flashed it, but it basically seemed to be the same thing. Anyway when using unnamed there was obvious lag interface between the message system when I'd press back twice really quick after sending a text (once to close keyboard, once to close keyboard, another to go back to conversation list). MIUI is more smooth in it's transition and seems to have not necesarilly more poignant scirpting but mayhaps faster. I like MIUI's notification bar and status bar. I like how the notifications have a page and I can click my wifi, data, airplane mode, gps, rotation, and brightness all on the same page, without having to swipe left or right to find more. Mostly I'm a fan of the themes of course, since they simply look awesome. If you care so much move to AOKP, it's better than any Samsung Touchwiz Rom I've ever used, for that type of person. I love AOKP, but I can't seem to stand the crude looking toggles/switches, and the damn launcer (all 3 of them). I find app drawers to be very unnecessary (my own personal opinion - plenty of interpretations there). But I'm willing to further discuss this if you want haha. No mean to be insulting but you basically started the engagement
Who else is sick and tired of looking for the next cool rom. It kinda drives me crazy looking for everything I want a nice put together rom that works well. I mean don't get me wrong who doesn't appreciate all the work that goes into putting a rom together, it seems like theirs always something going on to make u look for another. For example moon rom is an awesome rom but it will freeze where I have to take the battery out to reboot. Jedi rom is cool but u have to do alot of other flashing to get gps and the camera to work. All I'm saying is it gets a little frustrating. About a year ago I was super into Android I can name 50 different phones I had. That were all rooted and always looking for the next big rom. I got so sick of trying to find that never ending search for the perfect rom. I gave up and actually gave up and went to apple iphone 5. Never jail broke not really cause is not available to jailbreak but probably wouldn't have even if I could. Just cause I was so sick of running around trying to find the coolest rom. So how bout everyone else?

Not me.
On my Galaxy Nexus I was running Sourcery and never looked at another ROM.
On my Note 2 I have two favorite TW ROMs and two favorite AOSP ROMs.
That's all I need.
Not really tired and sick but I spend alot of time searching the threads looking for a new rom. I mainly stay on Tw but I always have a backup of Cm. Probably go between them once a week.

Nothing is ever going to be perfect. If it was, we probably wouldn't be looking for ROMs to flash in the first place!

I see this a lot, and I had the same problem with Jedi X 14 (13 was fine). The solution, as has been posted and that has worked for me, is to simply make sure you have a lock before you flash. No extra flashing. I can't speak to the camera problems as I have never had any.
I think perhaps a lot of the frustration comes from learning the idiosyncrasies of each "new operating system". From stock to a ROM to IOS to Windows to Linux to Mac OS, there's always a learning curve. I've gone, through various phones, from IOS to Sense to TW to vanilla android and back countless times. If you are constantly switching to find something "better", you're going to be constantly facing a learning curve. For some that's fun, for others it's annoying. For me personally, it can be both! :laugh:

Who else is sick and tired of life. It kinda drives me crazy looking for everything I want in life. I mean don't get me wrong who doesn't appreciate all the work people do in their life, it seems like theirs always something going on to make u live. For example the eskimo life is an awesome life but you freeze to death. The rich life is cool but you have to do a lot of things to have it. All I'm saying is it gets a little frustrating. About a year ago I was super into life I can name 50 different things i did. That were all fun and i was always lookin for the next big thing. I got so sick of trying to find that never ending search for the perfect life. I gave up and actually gave up and went to the hospital. Never went to jail not really cause is not allowed for me to go to jail but probably wouldn't have even if I could. Just cause I was so sick of running around trying to find the coolest life. So how bout everyone else?

Right right im sorry cuz life is so much like cell phone operating systems. I cant believe how clever that was to think of all that. Really one has nothing to do with the other. At times it is a little crazy how people like u get over this stuff and u make my point by trying to make someone else feel bad just to make yourself feel superior. Im sure alot of the users can agree that trolls like u get high and mighty about useless info. Please stop for a sec take a breath and relax.

I think rom flashing is more of an addiction for me. Was perfectly happy with stock....then started the never ending Saga of rom flashing
The only Android phone I never installed any custom rom on was the Galaxy nexus gsm
That phone was awesome on stock.

I used Jelly 'Beans' ROM on my S3 and I use it on my Note 2. Instead of trying to find the whatever ROM made me the happiest, I went for whatever had the most stable build and most useful features and learned to live with anything I didn't like.
Remember, its just a phone. it won't ever do everything you want, but it will communicate with people. Be happy with that.

Boy, your just baiting the trolls and fanboys with this one but I can understand your point of view. I love Android because I get to spend my time looking into the different options that developers put into their ROMs. I think you may be coming off a little disrespectful to the work and time that some of these guys put into what they do... And I want to caution you on that, however you're right, for some devices there is a throng of options to choose from and it may be hard to understand what the real difference is from one developers work to another.
To me, I have developed a trust for developers based on the device OEM I am working with, for Samsung my goto developer is going to be Beans, Scott on HTC... and it's been so long for me on Moto... But to your point.... No I love the research and comparison that comes with all of these options. I have an appreciation for the work that the developers of our community offer to us for free with only the expectation of a donation. I respect the community of users that are always there when I screw something up to answer my questions. Mostly though, it is the fact that I can do so many different things with an Android device... Or choose not do anything to an Android device... that makes it the antithesis of 'sick' or 'tired'.
At the risk of sounding childish, or being viewed as trying to 'one-up' you, and in all seriousness, I genuinely mean this and hope you don't think I am trying to take a shot at you, but iOS is exactly what your answer is. There is no work required to make iOS work the way you want it to because it works the way Apple designed it to work. It is not perfect, and likewise, there is never going to be a perfect ROM for any device... There will never be a perfect device. Is just a matter of what you want. In this case you have what you want. In the great words of that lady who had her head chopped off by her King husband... Let them eat cake!!!

I get it and I think my post might have came off the wrong way. I mean no disrespect to any of the developers. I think all of the work is amazing. Having the first htc google touch smart phone and everything in between might have just burnt me out a little. Maybe just all the different roms mixed in with all the pretentious people just made me ask the question that I did. But ur reply was great and I agree with everything u wrote. Hope I dont waste anyones time.

Again no disrespect to anyone. Everyone just download roms and have a great time doing it. Thats what its all about. Anf I have donated to many devoplers over the years cuz I do have fun at times and do appreciate the work.

From reading your post, this is how you come off to me.
Seems like no matter how a rom is, you will always complain that there is something wrong with it. If you think all of them have problems, learn how to make your own rom and solve your issue.
Also, if you left android for an iphone, you probably should have stayed with it. Normally posts like this are created by people that like iphones but don't like to openly admit it on xda. So in your position, sell the note2 and go get yourself an iphone so then you have no options except what case you should buy.

I have been a crack flasher since the days of old school windows mobile ppc 6600 i believe and have been using android since the og Moto Droid which really jumped it into gear. I was really happy with CM on that phone and when i had a droid2 i was locked down but was a fan of Liberty since they incorporated many of the cm features i liked but once cm7 was released officially that was it. I ended up using that rom on all future devices until I got my Gnex which Aokp took over for me and Team Eos for my Xoom which became my choices for those devices. Aokp is my rom of choice for the Gn2 since i like to support the original devs and their roms are always speedy, stable and has great features and they listened to their supporters and even incoporated S-Pen into the pure asop rom. I'm sure I will try out a few other roms but positive I will go back to what runs the best for speedwise, battery wise and stable which makes life easier.
Of course the option is to learn how to make a ROM and make one that you love
