Why do I flash this particular ROM?

Good Point there.

If one considers that there are 10 different ROMs available, there should also be someone willing to test them all out on 10 phones of the same specs at the same time, benchmark them and write a review of the specialities of these ROMs, rank their claims versus empirical observations and create a comparison table so that users have a fair degree of insight into why they are flashing a particular ROM flavour as well as what they can reasonably expect from that flash.

This would develop the field further. By definition people are lay, developers , specialists and users the audience.

To convert a lay person to an audience you need a performance comparison and ranking of the contribution of these specialists.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubborn_d0nkey:
That would be hard to do. Benchmarks dont really provide a clear picture of the rom, especially more popular ones (ex. I dont think the CMalpha4 would be that high in the benchmarks, but IMO, it is one of the, if not the, snappiest and fastest roms we have so far). And anything else is pretty much subjective. There is also the issue of differences between roms, and differences between how users will use roms.ex. Some roms might have the option to use data2sd, users who use it and users who dont will get a different user experience, which also depends on the sdcard class each user has. We have so much variation (which is a good thing) that any complete and proper (see below) testing would take some time, by that time the results, or most of it, would probably be obsolete due to new roms being out.

The only thing that probably could be "eaisly" tested empirically is battery life, but that would require much preparation for it to be done properly (I can kinda be a perfectionist when it comes to empirical data, or better said, when it comes to theorizing about methods of acquiring empirical data since, unfortunately, I rarely have the chance to do it myself)

edit: Also, no disrespect to other rom devs and their hard work, but when CM7 is completed or near completion it will most likely be the most popular rom and rom of choice and recommendation for many, so when that happens I dont really see the comparison doing much good since CM7 could and will easily convert many lay into users

Q: I can't turn wifi on, it always says error, and my mac address is unavailable!

A: You need to be rooted and delete/rename bcm_supp.conf located in /data/wifi/. You can use a file manager lie root explorer, or you can use a terminal emulator.

In Terminal emulator enter:

su
cd /data/wifi/
rm bcm_supp.conf

to delete the file.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasilimertzani:
hi

im using destiny v1.3 Rom. rhetorically problem is that when i change Samsung keyboard to Greek language the letters.doesn't change.even the backspace write en.if i touch backspace the button write el. but not Greek letters doesn't.

any solution?

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifzgud@gmail:
I am currently using I5801DDJP4 , the official firmware update came a few days back which sorted out problems like swype etc

Can i update to any firmware that won't cause this problem.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhirend_6d:
I didn t get you. You want to update to some other firmware which doesn t have bugs??:confused:

Try XXJPM or XXJPQ.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifzgud@gmail:
Precisely Yes :) , I just need my bloody wifi working !

So I can use XXJPM over the firmware i have without any issues?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifzgud@gmail:

Yes. You can flash Kyrillos v6.0 over DDJP4.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satyamsit:
is it necessary to charge ur phone to 100% before u flash??
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itzik_man:
I am not an Android expert; however I am an expert on the Symbian OS, (15 years), and to answer your question: The flash process can take a heavy tall on the battery consumption (the flash process can go also wrong), imagine your battery goes dead during the flash; your phone is bricked without a chance of ever being recovered!

So why take a risk instead of taking extra time to charge it ?!

Hi

edited man, was not appropriate
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b2bt:
well maybe you can add this question....

what is OC and NON OC ?

OC Stands for Overclocked Kernel.

This means that the processor will be forced to work at a higher mhz than usual, thus making the phone a lot faster.

And Obviously Non OC means not overclocked.

Some are having problems with the OC version, so I suggest you go for the Non OC version. (reply by Sparx75...ty :) )

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazux:
well, its better that you ask it in this thread than post new one :D i would go with dharams ROM collection ;) those are stripped down to basics and designed to be fast, with little modifications :)

I am using jps stock firmware....pls tell the concept of kernels and rom... can i install some custom firmware with changing my default kernel(2.6.32.9 root@SE-5608#1)?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazux:
yes you can flash ROM without flashing kernel and you can flash kernel without flashing ROM

Kernel is the core of android, without kernel you couldn't run ROMs or android itself

ROM, Read Only Memory is just a big file that you can customize, tweak, mod and so on :D
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipulgarg:
thanx :)

means i can flash kyrillos rom on my default kernel..
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazux:
Yes you can! But i think kyrillos includes a custom kernel in his ROM, so when you flah his ROM you will also flash custom kernel ;)

Almost every custom ROM has a custom kernel in the package :)

no 2.3 samsung germany told me also 2.3 is coming

best roms(oftopic but a help for noobs)

1 lestat rom(s) because stabilty , the way to costumize it in the console but little less performance against other cfws and nearly the same power drain as the stock firmware.

2kyrillos rom(s) fast,good powerdrain , fast sd reading less bugs.

3 sumee rom(s) very stable, fast , savers battery , good performance.

but if you need more power battery life flash coustom kernels (via odin as one package)

for all who dont know to flash( steps , repair a softbrick etc) use stock roms and stock kernels root your phone and personalize via apps from the market
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazux:
as said there is NO 100% accurate info that 2.3 would sometime come to g3 via samsung ;) many samsung emplyees have said that it will come but after that they said that it was just an misunderstanding! and as long as we have no 100% accurate info i will not change the answer for that ;)

[HTC Sensation] matistight:
I just bought the sensation yesterday from T-Mobile. It seems to me after plenty of use that the battery gets drained good. Though, the speed doesn't. My friends HD2 with the similar sensation rom on it ran almost as smooth as this phone, while his was clocked single core 1ghz...even at a single core this phone should be faster right? Not only does HTC lock the bootloader, but do they also lock the dual-cores?

You decide...
[HTC Sensation] rolltideburr:
While speed might not be as fast as it could be, I have to say that multitasking is flawless. I came from the Vibrant and the phone would freeze up doing normal activities (lock screen, phone calls, etc). I have yet to have the sensation freeze up on me. THAT is what I care about, not which app drawer loads fastest. Reliability is key.
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
Sounds like he was running a Sense 2.1 ROM with Sense 3.0 lockscreen - that's the only combination I could find on my HD2 that gave ANY kind of performance.

All of the Sense 3.0 ROMs ran so badly on my HD2 that I couldn't keep them on my phone more than a day.
[HTC Sensation] Jackasaur:
Honestly I believe that the software we have right now is not optimized for dual core so until Ice cream Sandwich comes out. I really doubt dual cores are really gong to be make that much of a difference.
[HTC Sensation] E-MAC:
Most would agree that while Sense 3.0 is pretty to look at, it's a giant resource hog. And from what I understand, it's also poorly coded.

I think once we see an unlocked bootloader and custom ROMs, you'll see and feel the benefits of dual cores.

Also, battery life gets better after a few days. I've had mine for over a week now and it seems to get better every day.
[HTC Sensation] jparity:
God.. thank you for mentioning about the battery life... Yesterday (1st day) my phone was draining ~9%/hr, today it's more like 5-7%/hr. With the same settings, my HD2 could do 2%/hr... I was starting to get worried about the issue. Hopefully I will see the battery life extend as time goes on like you suggested.
[HTC Sensation] nucentury08:
MAN thats the truth what a slow device and its funny i walked into tmobile to try it before i said it was slow and the rep saw my g2x in my hand and said your G2x is going to be faster then that sensation that your going to touch hahaha FUNNY.The sensation spit out a 2050 on quadrant i guess is ok but my g2x stock on 2.2 spits out a 2500 to 2700 so think when 2.3 hits anywho the sensation looks good on paper but real world no
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Sense 3.0 is crippling the phone. I think we'll see a big improvement when we get an unlocked bootloader and custom ROMs :)
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
E-mac, what special methods, if any, did you use to condition the new battery? What was you charging habits? Care to give us your experience with the battery, like how long run and how much better left at end of day? Thanks allot
[HTC Sensation] BlueGoldAce:
Wait for an ota. It will iron out the kinks. According to android central, the evolution 3d is faster. There is little reason for this beyond the 3d maybe having more optimized software since it came out later/ was delayed. I know he sensation has less memory, but in the android architecture that is not a big deal if you still have some ram free...unlike windows where the more the better. In android, if your not using all your memory and you got a decent amount free, your good to go.
[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
One thing I have noticed reading all the Sensation reviews - the browser performance is quite poor, especially in sunspider. In fact it appears to be slower than my SGS which is a single 1ghz hummingbird processor. Is it just the Sense browser that is not optimised for dual core? does opera mobile give better performance?
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Were you running a custom Rom on your SGS? Most custom roms have had major improvements to their javascript performance (which is what sunspider tests).
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Multitasking is where this processor shines. Even on my G2X I would have to use the app called Fast Reboot to speed things up after a couple hours of use but I have had the Sensation on for 48 hours straight without using that app once and it's still lightning fast.

I think most people on here are expecting way to much from the dual core devices when most everything out there isn't even optimized for it. Sit back, relax and wait until we get optimization or go back to your HD2.
[HTC Sensation] E-MAC:
Not intending to hijack the thread, but I havent done anything special to condition the battery like I had to on my Evo. I can easily get through a day and a half with moderate use. It's almost always going to seem abysmal to start with simply because you can't put the damn thing down. ;)
[HTC Sensation] recondo1202:
I just bought the sensation yesterday and played with it extensively and speed was fine, I'm sure time will tell if my opinions will change. Its charging now...but honestly folks, for those that complain about its speed, how fast does the phone need to be before people stop complaining about speed.

The question should really be does the phone perform fast enough so that the user does not experience lag on any of the apps, video/audio, texting, etc...functions they perform. If you are experiencing this then please explain what apps or programs you were running and what you are using as your basis for comparisons.

Its like buying the latest and greatest PC or Mac and then running dos programs...unless you are running really intensive A/V, memory or resource processes/programs, these benchmark scores really don't amount to much but a number for the average/typical user no matter how geeky or technical we think we are.

[Dell Streak 7] NarkyMark:
I am new to the Dell streak7 (infact it is currently in the post on its way to me) and yes I'm a Noob to the forum too, I have had several JB'd iPhones but fancied a change from the Apple (and a bigger screen too :)) I was swayed by reading up on the spec of the Streak 7 (and the price when compared to the Xoom) and then seeing all of the underground development by DJ_Steve and others on this Forum, well, it just signed and sealed it for me really...

....Anyway, the device will be a brand spanking new Wifi only model and from what I can gather there is no backup currently available for this device, I have read in the Dev forum that someone actually managed to re-install their original .img from the wifi device, I was wondering how I go about firstly copying these files and then restoring them (should the need arise) IE: best software to use and method to apply? Or would there be a better way to backup/restore?

Thanks in advance,
