Hi, as you might have guessed from the title I'm new. It's been a long two years with my Desire HD and it's been a few months since I overcame my addiction with flashing everything so I'm a bit rusty. Rooting is going to be done but are there any mods that you would recommend I install?
What in your opinions is the best ROM, kernel etc. Are there any tweaks in terms of sound or memory management?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

THE RULES ..All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome, read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.
See the sticky on page one for roms mods etc and make your own decision .

[Q] questions about rom

im a new vibrant owner.. and i heard about those rom.. what are those rom?? why should i flash them on my phone?? what are the benefits of it?? where can I find all the list of rom?? any suggestions of whats the best rom to flash??? what are you guys using?? sorry for many questions but answering any of them would be appreciated. thank you...
Welcome vibrant is a awesome phone.
Just so you know there is no best rom for all people . If there was we wouldnt have so many developers.
As rom is basically your phones operating system .
Why flash one ? I do it because I like to tinker. These guys often skin the roms much better than samsung.
I also like freedom of choice and added speed boost.
Often times our developers update the roms faster than the companies do!
You will have to try these roms for yourself to see which one is best .
I am fascinated and captivated by the vibrant screen on my epic galaxy s.
Hey man sorry if this seems a bit rude but ,why are you posting such lame questions, when you havent even READ all the avalible info concerning your questions first? Instead of being lazy and asking the members here to do it for you? This web site gets eaten up by precious bandwith by frivous redundant questions all the time that can be answered [most likely] with all the stickys including well thought out bibles, and so on! Do your due dilegence first then if all fails then ask a question here! Most of the veterans here bend over backwards here to help, but when you registered it asked you to read and search first, before asking redundant questions that most likely have already been asked!
try all of them
Careful with your questions, there are some mean people in here. But it is true, read up as much as you can before you ask. Here is some useful information on how to go on with your Vibrant, once you get a kick start, you'll be fine.

Enjoy!
Isn't this the q&a forum?? yes, i did read stuffs on the developers area and sorry for being noob that I can't understand them which leads me here on "Vibrant Q&A" forum. Anyways, thanks for those who answered some of my questions.
Welcome to the forum, my few bits of advice would be before trying any rom read the responses people have made in that roms installation guide. You'll see what problems people commonly encounter when rushing into things, and learn how to avoid them. Make sure you read everything carefully and dont follow directions for any phone other than the model you have.
Be warned flashing firmware is dangerous even when done right. Take every precaution, make backups! Read directions twice! That said, welcome once again and good luck.

OK bro well sorry for leaning hard on ya, you see I myself am a noob here, but I read everything I could , but the key to reading here is to understand the definition of terminology first and the bible that has these terms is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
Also here is the addy for the first suggested bible to read first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876779
Also here's some excellent easy to understand tutorials: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938875
Look its not that I don't feel your frustration, but ya gotta do some work at this first!
Then if you've made a gallant effort to educate yourself on what to do, then there are people here who will hold your hand as you proceed, some others aren't as patient or understanding, only because they are prolly burned out from all the noobs such as you and I, who have asked questions not really necessary, when we could've answered them ourselves! So with all that being said, good luck and take a few breaths, I myself am still overwhelmed with info saturation and am currently still confused on some issues! But I keep reading and dissecting the info till it gels together in my head, and then I go step by step, but I always make backups and have the proper programs and apps installed to rescue myself from bricking the phone!

In my opinion posts such as the one quoted above are more a waste of time than the original question - and the poster should be presented with a warning for such a useless, unhelpful posting. 3 people posted useless post's - with only 1 - JJEgan supplying info of any help!
The poster asks a good question, though technically and rule wise he's probably not allowed to ask such a question. Its one of them questions with no real answer - is more of a vote / opinion poll.
Which ROM and kernel sgs3 is good in battery, stable and fast?
I've tried so so many of the ROM's in an attempt to find an answer.
Right now I'm on Android Revolution HD 8.5.0, using the kernel that it came with.
Works fab
But then so did CheckRom and many others.
So the real answer is personal choice and in particular how your unique device runs on a particular ROM. Trial and error. Good luck :good:

Sorry didn't understand "Your post is typical of those that want to create chose in the forums" - did you mean choice or chaos or ......?
Im new here (posting wise) but I think that rather than posting a post stating a post is useless, thereby creating another useless post - instead a user should report the post by the clicking the button symbolized with an exclamation mark in a triangle labelled "Report Post" or contact a Moderator. Am I wrong in saying that? I've used XDA since the HTC Desire came out, and forever Im seeing useless posts. Makes reading the forum's a nightmare. I just want an end to it all.

I notice you are a newbie on here so no doubt you are unaware that this very same question gets asked day in,day out, year in,year out on these forums therefore you might understand that regulars on these forums are sick to the back teeth and the only way to prevent these type of posts are temporary bans and if noobs persist then a full ban

Why should we aid your laziness? NO BEST THREADS ARE ALLOWED, WHAT SO EVER! Is that so hard to understand, really? Is it? I don't think so, and neither do a lot of users, yet we are faced with these threads all the time.

Try all roms, you have no other choice.

Rude? Perhaps. Meaningless. Perhaps. But clearly you don't understand. A while ago, we had an assload of these kinds of threads and the mods had a lot to do to clean up, and graffixnyc then opened (and locked and sticked) a thread saying best rom/kernel post/threads aren't allowed, yet people fail to read it and still open topics asking for what the best is. There is no best, you have to try stuff out and make up your own mind. That's how it is with everything, not just related to roms and kernels.
How should we know what the best shampoo is, what the best toothbrush is, what the best potatoes are? We don't and can't ever know. That's up to one another.
We are losing our temper because this is still happening.

Samsung S3 Jtag

Someone selling a S3 for £100 but said it needs jtagged said its a easy fix Am guessing they bricked it so just wanted to know if it can be fixed and worth the £100 or am I best staying away
Stay away unless he's a very very very good friend!
Seriously you may well be dropping a ton on a device that is completely dead, but you might be able to break it up for profit, the screen/digitizer costs more than that but it really is up to you at the end of the day, it's a shot in the dark
Thanksss ill leave it then i was wondering if its so cheap to fix why they didn't get it done them selfs

Not supposed to help here the guy is pointing out the correct thread for help .
But in my opinion it would be far better to either rename General to Questions and Answers or just have an open forum where everything is mixed up under one label making it even harder to find anything .
But it also reads as a number of users would prefer utter chaos and no rules .
Their is a significant rise in bricked help lost IMEI posts all due to complete failure to bother reading the rules or even the basic faqs and guides .
Sh**** if a user cannot post correctly how on earth are they going to flash without bricking .

The polite way is to answer the question, then point out it's in the wrong section, rather than just spam "post in Q&A" to force your post count up, at least 500 of his posts (assuming they don't get deleted) are "post in the right section" with no help at all.
You two forum police will do much better if you offer help whilst informing them they are in the wrong section.
they need to learn that they will get help if they follow the rules

But if you just spam "post in the right section" it just makes you look like an ass, you are showing no desire to help, just boss everyone around and call them out in public, you can at least send them a PM something along the lines of "I have reported your post regarding xxx question to the moderators so it can be moved to the correct section, in future please post questions in the Q&A section."
This post accomplishes the same thing without basically shouting "GTFO YOU NOOB!!!" that is basically what you put across whenever you post in these question threads.

Thats where you are wrong i am afraid .
The posts arrive in General section as users are to lazy to read the rules and far to lazy to bother to read faqs and guides . The majority just want a quick fix and care nothing at all about what XDA was or should be .
Glenbun takes a months holiday and we will still get multiple bad post jeez as i type this there are probably three more bad posts .
End result is a forum that's hard to navigate hard to find anything as the good stuff is hidden under piles of rubbish piling up on a daily basis and that's what noobs complain about what is basically their own mess .
Time in my view for a serious review of the rules and the layout as neither really work .
Multiple experienced users no longer bother to even read these non development forums .

Instead of spaming the thread just report the post and tell the mods to move it to QaA thread. No need to talk about that.

[Q] What is the best ROM for removing bloatwares but keeping the good stuff?

He says it is against the rules to ask about ROMS, but I do not know how to delete a post. There is only one Edit/Delete button.
read the rules. asking that is against them
Read the Korean threads
Korean version of S3 (SHW-M440S).

I am sorry if it is against the rule. I just checked the "Rules" on the top of this board, but I could not find anything that mentions about asking ROM. Which clause do you refer?
Anyways, since you are a senior member, you must be right. I am going to delete this post soon, but just keeping for a few moments to ask about the rule.

What rom best rom posts are rapidly closed by the mods .
Fact is who want a hundred whats the best rom post a week .
Fact is there is no best rom .
Fact is if you are not capable of trying them for yourself then stick with stock until you understand the basics .
Fact all roms have a description and often a large user thread to read .
FACT The rules page one post 2
[READ FIRST] Forum Section Rules
All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome, read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.
jje
Well "best rom" threads are against the rules due to their subjective nature but I suspect the OP has fallen victim of "not my first language" syndrome.
I suppose a fairer question would be "which roms remove all bloatware yet leave essentials in tact?"

Best thing is find a rom you like and slim it down your self by taking all the bloat out and putting other stuff you want in. That's what I do. I end up with something unique, mine. Then I theme it.

that would turn to a best rom thread in an instant
All right, if it is the rule I respect that, I have no rights to go against the rules.
But in my defense,
Fact is there is no best rom: I did not ask for generally "the best" ROM. I ask for a best ROM that meets some specific requirements. So the answer may not be that subjective.
Fact is if you are not capable of trying them for yourself then stick with stock until you understand the basics: I can try one by one myself, but if someone already had gone through that and knows the answer, why should all the persons go through the same thing. Kind of like answering a person who is asking "Which road is the shortest way to get to the station" with "Don't ask me, try all roads and find the shortest yourself."
Fact all roms have a description and often a large user thread to read: Yes but installing a ROM takes a lot of time, and the descriptions are usually not detailed enough.
==
I do not mean I am still asking for the answer to my original post. I will look for one myself. These are just my thoughts about your comments. Maybe my questions have been bad, but most of the time, I always get hostile, condescending (such as above "if you are not capable of... understand the basics") responses from XDA. You people here are tech-savvy, but I think you lack some human heart, or kindness. I will stop posting questions form now on. I am sorry for any troubles I have caused.
your intentions don't matter, all these threads turn into people just saying their favorite ROM
, I always get hostile, condescending (such as above "if you are not capable of... understand the basics") responses from XDA. You people here are tech-savvy, but I think you lack some human heart, or kindness
Nope just users get sick and heartily tired of the same questions day after day after day .
Compounded by users that just abuse XDA and dont even bother reading the faqs and guides .By reading the faqs and guides first you are one less likely to brick your phone and less likely to post the same question posted yesterday .
Faqs and Guides is where we all start nothing to do with being tech savvy .This is after all XDA development not some make my phone cool forum .
jje
Thread Closed.
Guy, let's remember to treat people how we would want to be treated. We were all new at some point.
OP, best ROM threads aren't allowed because everyone has their own preference and favorite. There is no "best" ROM. Look at features, etc that fit your needs.
