hi there,
i want to flash my stock ROM due to freezing issues on my HTC currently I am using cht editor 1.85 with stock rom and whilst I like the way my phone looks i.e. wallpaper, clock, apps etc the crashing is doing my head in...
However I am unsure which ROM to go for? any suggestions? I have been reading the reviews and its between Chuckys Tabtastic and Energy ROM
For me speed, stability and performance is important, if I had to choose one it would be stability - I cannot live with my phone constantly crashing its killing me!
My concern is though, if I flash to either can I install additional CABS such as GS Alarm, my naughty wallpapers, and my great TAG Carrera watch?
Or can I only use the apps these ROMs come with?
Any support and assistance would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
You can install all programs you want.
You will have to take into account the following:
1) Signed cabs only, or disable this check (search forum)
2) Cabs are winmo 6.5 compatible (a lot out there are not)
3) Cabs are HD2 compatible (screensize is the major issue here)
Stock rom works about the same as coocked roms: a lot of installs lead to slower system.
thank you
how do I know if CAB's are signed or not?
I am more interested in G Alarm, thats great, the rest well not that bothered really..apart from the Torch App
Any ideas?

It doesn't matter if they are signed, just install them regardless.
You can still customize a custom ROM as you would a stock ROM, even more so. Everything you have on your current ROM you can move over, and you will also have more if you download a 23xxx (WM 6.5.x) based ROM as the menu systems are changed and the softkey bars as well.
'What ROM's best' questions aren't a moderators favorite post as they are and should be closed, it's a matter of opinion and there is no one definitive answer, however as a user, I would suggest Energy ROM.
thank you
this will be my first attempt at a ROM update
I will go with the energy ROM
Whats the best guide out there I can use atm?

Search the forum.
Each ROM has it's own set of prerequisits, so learn at the discussion of the rom (usually the first post.)
A general (rather overwhelming) guide to flashing can be found here
While this video tutorial is very illustrative.
But why not wait until your crash-problem is solved, or close that thread...

my crashing problem I believe is down to, cht editor 1.85 and cookies tab
I thought by flashing it would allow me to runs the apps without cht editor 1.85 and cookies tab to provide all round better performance.
Prior to me having installed cht editor and cookies tab my phone was stable, no crashes, or 1 every 3 months....At the moment I find myself hard resetting twice / three times a day
On the other hand I have not received any definitive advise as to the cause of my crashing or freezing problem so my perspective is to remove what I currently have and flash..
Is this good or bad in your opinion?
thanks for your time and advice
How can CHT be a problem if you HARD reset every time? (and two three times/day?)
Removing the battery is NOT a hard reset, (just a hard way to soft-reset )
For a real HARD reset do following (remember to backup all your contacts, appointments etc, your phone will reset to shipping condition *since you have not flashed a custom rom yet )
For Hard reset (and soft-reset too) read here
sorry you are right I usually take the battery out and reset
I have hard resetted 3 - 4 times previously
I want to download Energy ROM, the standard version but the link is dead...is there a new one?
Here you go, this link works for me....
From this thread
Please note all prerequisites especially the needed HSPL and radioRom
I am after the "cookie" energy ROM, after it counts down I receive "service unavailable" error message?
any ideas why?
the first link in your previous post does not work either?
I noticed I first have to perform the HardSPL followed by the RadioROM then install the actual ROM....
Read here I posted it for someone a couple of days ago.
completed the hard spl, rom flash and radio update last night...
thanks for your help and advice - its much appreciated
am loving the energy ROM, so far all my previous crashing and freezing issues are resolved, if they return i will let you know
thank you for your assistance
Ive noticed this since I upgraded to gingerbread.. phone is now very slow..
when I play music, it plays as something is taking up all the processing power in the background and the music plays as it is buffering, loading and playing..
the games that I download run so slowly that it feels like playing modern games on Pentium 3.
when I press the home button, all programs minimize but the icons on home screen load up one by one.. they are empty boxes and appear one by one.
anyone else have any experience like this?
any help or advice would be appreciated.
I am on stock gingerbread, i do not have any mod roms installed.. My phone has been rooted.
android version - 2.3.3
baseband version 2.1.71
-old question was closed without giving any reason, maybe it was in the wrong section... so trying again
Have you tried restarting?
Perhaps you have too many applications installed on the phone's memory, you should try moving it to the SD card in Settings > Applications > Manage applications.
Hope this is of some help.
I'd suggest rooting and installing a custom rom, it'll fix all of your issues.
I'd suggest TEAM ROM because I'm using it, and it's awesome.
And yes, the last question was in the wrong section.
hi, thanks for the reply.
I am also thinking of reflashing and installing a custom rom, but what always prevented me from doing so were the limitations of it, as every rom had some problem, some did not have working wifi, some did not have working camera.. and so on..
but I was following teh MIUI Rom and that looks promising, I noticed that the xperia x10 is not yet supported: http://miuiandroid.com/roms/miui-development-roms/
but also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307044
will this custom MIUI Rom work? should I go through with it? (it also mentioned as wifi not working and third party app must be installed to fix it)
Thanks

I'm very happy with Oodie's ROM (MIUI): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295089
Great battery life and very responsive. No lags, everything working. Don't be fooled if the thread seems unactive, it's because everything is working...
Unlocking BL is a one step process in FlashTool. Flashing is a "breeze"
PM me if you need assistance.
Bugsy

Hello,
I recently installed Nemesis Kernel & Enigma ROM in my Xperia sola and the ROM is crap - it takes like 5 secs to open the contacts app when I want to make a call. I don't want to get back to stock ROM because I wanted to get rid of google crap (google+, gtalk, maps), so what ROM do I chose now? there are plenty at the Development section and I don't want to make a bad choice again.
thanks
first it is not good to say CRAP because the man worked hard on it (u dont know how much of work/time this need)
second if u want a rom with out google apps other things try Tiny Xperia
But is recommend Project GX ROM
about contact this is sony’s problem all roms had it
And plz PReSS ThaNX

Reboot into recovery, then wipe data and wipe cache.
Performance degraded after a month use
I ve been using this ROM for nearly a month.
Everything was working fine all the time, but just last week I started noticing strange behaviour.
The phone starting lagging big time.
When I turn on/off the flashlight, it takes more than 10 sec to turn on/off
For some reason, my wireless connection has become very slow on the phone, it takes so many minutes just to download a 2mb file from playstore,while its not the internet connection that is to be blamed.
Like for instance any application that needs to update, like facebook / candycrush, etc.
Regardless which Boeffla profile I choose, the lagging just doesnt disappear.
I barely see 20-30MB ram free although I can't see whats utilizing the rest of it!
Also The smart scroll option never worked with me !
The camera takes a lot of time to open up as well.
I dont understand how it was working fine all this time and suddenly i start seeing problems.
Nice Job Mate
I'm Using this ROM from last week & One word to say "Marvellous" . I've used Revolution HD 52 ROM before this For stability but that one looks like stock Rom without any customization but yours is much more like S5 in looks with keeping the device Stable & Smooth...Done a great job dude to provide us such a Rom that we cann't expect it from SAMSUNG ever For our beloved S3...finally tons of Thanks for your work keep it up Mate..

The rom is great but it cant detect my sim card. Why?
Unable to flash the rom
Hey, the rom looks great. Unfortunately i couldn't get it flashed to my rom.
When i select the .zip file for flashing, these steps come up
Installing .zip
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
format() expects 5 args , got 4
E: Error in /data/mdeia/0/m)_efeExtreme_Lite-Rom-v5.0_signed_2.zip
(Status 7 )
Installation aborted.
I'm on a custom rom ( S5 Sensation)
Had already done wiping data , dalvik cache and cache partition
Black theme
Does this rom have black theme. It's perfect, finally I stopped flashing roms, the only thing I miss is to have black backgrounds instead of blue ones (default S5) theme.
Thank you so much for this ROM.
Best regards,
Navi
Very nice ... Stable
I had a wonderful experience with this rom!
