Sprint is getting the 4.5" version of the SGS2 as well, which is perfectly fine by me. It is also getting the same processor/GPU that is listed in the latest Anand tech benchmarks. Unfortunately for T-Mo anyone picking up the SGS2 will get the original model that was demo'd months ago, which AnandTech was extremely disappointed with.

Now, I know that cyanogenmod is probably the most popular of all the aosp roms however, that's irrelevant because this is about the evo, not other phones. So, in your own words, which rom is the best aosp rom for the evo? Excluding miui, because that's a different sort of aosp.

Thanks.

Yeah, but how is it better than the other ones? Salvagemod, deck, etc..
[EVO 4G General] Steven 1:
Decks Rom to me is the best due to being so much cleaner and faster. The way it runs on my phone is amazing. Battery life. Performance. Just flawless for an aosp
[EVO 4G General] wryun:
I tried SalvageMod, didn't care for it since I got FC's and there doesn't seem to be much updates.

I have gone between CM7 and Decks a lot. So much lately that I am driving myself nuts. I want to stick with one.

I like Decks because it is a slimmer version and runs better. It also doesn't have as much misc. stuff/apps with it.

I like CM7 because of the nightlies, which also gives me headaches because I am always flashing, then if something sucks I go back to a previous version, sometimes having to wipe, etc.

I am most likely going to end up sticking with Decks since it runs better for me, and so I don't get the urge to try out a new nightly. LOL

I am not aware of any other AOSP ROM.
[EVO 4G General] dw3bb10:
Lets face it, if it werent for CM7 we wouldnt have most of the AOSP roms for this phone that we do. DECKS is the best IMO. Its CM7 but tailored specifically for the EVO. Its VERY NOTICEABLY faster. More clean. Cant go wrong with it.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
My phone has never run better than with SalvageMod! Even Decks which held that place previously. There are some features that I miss but haven't looked back for a second.

Lithid is an incredible Dev, and has produced a unique build of AOSP that will stand out from the rest. He also supports it directly, meaning you will hear from HIM if you ask a question.

I have tried cm7, decks, savaged zen and OMGB. None have quite the edge of SalvageMod. However, OMGB would be my second choice but I like something a bit more custom.

[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
I tried cm7 a while back and it was just OK for me( no disrespect, just my opinion). After playing around with a whole lot of sense roms I'm now looking for something a little different for a while...so I'm also interested in the slickest aosp rom.

Does Decks have the Theme engine built in?

[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
yes it does. any theme chooser will theme work

[EVO 4G General] knowledge561:
CM7 and MIUI are by far the most popular AOSP Roms on ALL Android devices. Miui is very popular battery and theme wise. Cm7 takes it with stability. They are both the best in my book.

Free Dirk!!!
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Personally I use sense. Buttttt when used asop I preferred miui. I know you said no miui but personally I loved it. I thought it was way better than cm7. But honestly it's what you want and like haha

Swyped from my synergy evo!
[EVO 4G General] Braneless:
My choice as well. Deck has all of the features I like, and none of the bloat. It's my perfect rom.

I often flash other aosp roms - and even the occasional sense rom... But I always return to Deck within hours.
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
If I'm not using salvagemod I always flash cm7 as well. Its a good choice.
[EVO 4G General] Braneless:
I see what you did there.

I tried Salvage Mod briefly, but there were some little details that bugged me; the notification pulldown located at the bottom of the screen, lack of Theme Chooser, and a couple other minor settings not available.

It's the small details that makes or breaks a rom for me. Deck passes all the tests, and runs much better on my particular phone than the full CM 7.1

Homage and gratitude are definitely due to cyanogen.. Without his team, we wouldn't have many of the improvements available to us.
[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
Thanks man.

[EVO 4G General] potna:
i prefer cm7 because it supports my blue tooth keyboard, but i never even looked into whether other roms support this feature, i just assumed not.
[EVO 4G General] cesjr02:
Another vote for Decks. I've tried just about every AOSP rom out there and Decks rom runs the fastest on my Evo.
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
I agree, cm7 is a very fast rom. GPS is weird at times. But can't argue with speed. I still use salvagemod tho simply for the simple things that are different.
[EVO 4G General] Jfree3000:
Its a toss up, using Decks rom atm but with any AOSP rom I get bad wifi reception unless I am right next to my modem. That's the only thing I can say for Sense roms is that the wifi connection is better, at least in my case.
[EVO 4G General] Sry0fcr:
I'll admit, I was a huge CM Fanboy and deservedly so it's probably one of the most developed and feature laden ROMs available. MIUI never appealed to me. But, there was always something wonky happening then once most of the bugs were ironed out and I actually used it often enough I got tired of ADW.

I started flashing frank707's .zip that removed some of the extra apps and especially ADW and replaced it with launcher2. Then Deck came along and did it for me with an even more optimized ROM. Somewhere along the way I flirted with SalvageMod 1.2.1 but had some stability issues that were caused by the SavagedZen kernel that I stupidly blamed the ROM for. Flash forward to last week, I finally tried out SalvageMod 1.4 and gave it an honest chance and I think it's probably one of the most well developed and stable/fast ROMs that I've tried so far. It's different from CM based ROMs if that's what you're used to but it's simplicity is actually refreshing. There's some features that I'd like to have added but it's nothing that makes the ROM unusable.

I say give SM 1.4 a real chance, I don't think that it (or the devs for that matter) get the recognition deserved.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Yeah I've been using sm 1.4 as my daily. I just wish it had a theme Chooser
[EVO 4G General] Sry0fcr:
If you're into that SM could be a problem. Didn't there used to be a Matted Blues theme for it?
[EVO 4G General] hwpmovement:
I have been using Decks for a month or so now, and I am getting 3 days of charge with hour long phone calls per day, and scattered GPS, app, market, and web browsing. I am shocked, honestly. Stock ROM gave me 1 day, same use. Super clean and fast, minor GPS acquisition slow down, which I gladly accept for the brilliance that is Decks. FWIW.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
CM7 hands down. I don't see why people get all excited over decks. Its a cm7 kang. Remove a couple things, rename CyanogenMod settings to advanced settings and you have yourself a rom. If im not running CM I will run something from lithid. He is a straight shooter who has been really helpful teaching people how to compile AOSP roms from source.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Agreed. I've tried all the different 'AOSP' versions and not one has yielded better results than the good old CM7. Maybe not worse, but certainly not better. I can get behind the idea of choice and variety, but I don't get this hype over decks, and the like, either. It's either CM7 or MIUI. I like the basic look of CM7 and don't usually rock themes, apart from the native Cyan built in, so the appearance has no bearing on my choice.

That said, I've planted myself in the MIUI camp as of late but I'll always return to the 'base' for a while. CM7 is the only other option.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
So, what your essentially saying is that, the bigger a rom is with features that sometimes don't even pertain to your specific phone, the better it is?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Its hardly bigger, and hardly noticeable in performance. And when I say hardly, I mean not at all. Let us remember where they spawn from. Let us not act like they are world's apart. There is acceptance and love, then there's overreaction and hype. Let us not act like anything is entirely more superior compared to the source in which it was drawn from. I get the removal of **** you won't need, but seriously? Night and day, as some say? Nah. :)

I would like my phone to mount the system directory r/w each time it boots.

Can I add some code to an init.d script to get my phone to mount /system r/w each time it boots?

--If so, what would I add?

--If not, how can I accomplish mounting /system r/w each boot?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrapnelx:
I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but are you sure you know what you are asking for? Mounting /system r/w opens up your phone to a lot of issues including making it trivial for someone to p0wn it, or blow it up (by that I mean your software installation). Just out of curiosity, why would you want /system to mount r/w all the time?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:
I do alot of theming and use adb to push the apps to my phone. Often I push framework files (while in recovery) and after rebooting I want to push more apps to system, but I must first use root explorer to mount it r/w. Gets pretty tedious.

I guess I could just use adb to mount system r/w, but that could be bothersome.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrapnelx:
If you are going to be pushing with adb anyway, you can do "adb remount" before you push any files which will remount /system r/w. Quick and simple, and does not leave your phone wide open to chaos on the /system partition all the time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creeve4:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalithium:
I currently have tenfar's CWM installed.

I looked at the PiCrust thread where it says specifically that I need Romracer's Recovery (and not to use CWM from rom manager).

That made me wonder why does different ROMs require different recoveries ?

Also, what might happen if I use my CWM to flash PiCrust ? soft brick? hard brick?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tao_Man:
Well they probably all would work, Tanfars has been reported in having problems clear caches, and the rom manager does not support external sd cards (at least last I looked at it, which was some time ago) so Romracers is pretty much the best to use on an Atrix right now. put if pushed I bet all would work OK in a pinch.

I would not worry about bricking your phone if you used the wrong version, it would just not work most likely and do nothing to your phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalithium:
Thanks !

your explanation of the differences between the versions helped me to understand this issue - its a matter of features and bugs and not something different in the "core" functionality of the recovery.

I will probably update to romracer - as soon as I understand how :-P

If I created a backup with one version will it resoter on the other ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhaiti:
It also depends on when the rom was first posted. The older roms require Tenfars Pretty much all recently posted roms require RomRacer's recovery.

well i dont understand it either. i have succesfully been able to flash every single rom on this forum with the same cwm "Atrix 3.2" i believe its called.

so i am sticking to this cwm just because it works great and have nice colors.

and if i for some reason need to flash gingerblur 4.5 or something old i will just do it with the old recovery which came as an installable apk, before the bootloader got unlocked.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalithium:
I have seen that - but PiCrust writes :

"Do NOT use CWM installed from ROM Manager!"

and in noob section it is explained how to install romracer version using rom manager.

since I already have tenfar's cwm - I can just do a zip install through tenfars cwm which will replace cwm to romracer's version, right ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
Yes, you should be able to flash RomRacers version via Tenfars CWM. Make sure you don't have the .sh file first, which you would need to delete.

As far as the ROM Manger thing goes... in the N00B guide, I just explain how to install RomRacers CWM via ROM Manager... so yes, your installing ROM Manager, but if you follow the steps, your actually using RomRacers version through ROM Manager (and not the actual ROM Manager version) as a end result.

Hi,

I'm trying to find a program that would let me tether my own wifi (not my cell data) through USB, because my wireless card is having trouble on my laptop.

So: WiFi access point --> Nexus S --> USB cable --> laptop = happy customer

Sharing my cell data is pretty hectic when I'm in the basement so it's a no go. BTW I'm rooted stock everything. If a ROM has this incorporated i'd be happy, but an app would be better.

Excellent sound that seems to far exceed what a set of cheap IEMs should sound like (compared to my older JVC and Senheisser pairs at least) and an amazing chord that seems to minimize noise from bouncing around a ton better than the vast majority of IEMs out there. Meelec has greatly expanded their product lineup since then, I'd check with on the Head-Fi boards for some current recommendations... Tho the M9 & M6 were both great and are probably still available at Amazon or Newegg. They've got a solid warranty and awesome support too btw.
