[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
This is a judgement call. Basically, if you're happy being rooted, and you're running a custom rom with 3.2, I really see no need to revert back to stock, unless you have a lot of funky issues.

Personally, I wouldn't look forward to setting things up all over again, then having to wait till the devs com eup with another root, which may not be as easy as before. Not to mention I would lose ad-hoc support along with a couple of root required apps.

But if you have issues, then by all means, run the OTA.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] chiasottis:
Reality call: not everyone wants to flash a custom rom. I've been flashing roms on WinMo, then Android for years and I've come to the conclusion that, no matter what, stock is better. The only time custom may be preferable is once the device isn't anymore updated officially.

As a side note, please notice that we A501 users were still running 3.0.1 prior to this update and, as you know, that ROM was terrible. This is why I preferred updating immediately (and having, finally, a device that works well) without waiting for root and other mods, which I can live well without.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
You could download the FOTA and modify it to remove the new bootloader and recovery and get it rooted, like ezterry did with the A500 version. Maybe try contacting him on exactly what to modify...
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No reality call needed :p. If you had looked at the guys post, he/she is running Honey Villain3.2, which I believe is a custom Rom:confused:. The post was wether or not there was a need to revert back to a non-rootable factory rom, without taking a chance of things going bad.

I really couldn't tell you about 3.0. It lasted about 20 minutes after I bought my 501. To say that "3.0 was a terrible Rom", and then say "Stock is better", is a contradiction in itself.

Flashing any rom, should be a personal choice, of course there are pro's and con's which each person has to decide. And they should do their homework beforehand.

So really, there is no need to get "snippy"

But then again, there are always trolls about :D
[Acer Iconia A500] chiasottis:
Ops! Didn't see that post; I thought you had come here to instruct us to discard stock in favor of custom. Sorry.

I didn't get "snippy". I'm just tired to read, every single time there's some problem, "flash a custom" as the only solution. It wasn't your case, though, sorry.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No problemo. ;)

But as you say, flashing is not a cure for everything. But for those of us who like to tweak things, it's nice to know we have that choice.

I just wish people would read about these things, before they get themselves in trouble.:D

Or the best is "I rooted, now what?"

Or, "I didn't see my exact model, but I flashed one that was close".
[Acer Iconia A500] miszi:
yea thats what i meant. I had rooted my device cuz 3.0.1 was awful. Again, i have to roll back to 3.0.1 since i have instaled 3.2 ( some factory default ??) Or what? And as you gays said Id like tu be sure before i start doing anything in this subject.
[Acer Iconia A500] chiasottis:
Yes, you must go back to stock to update.
[HTC Incredible S] Corbin.:
Hey guys, I put cm7 on my buddys incredible s last night and everything went perfectt and everything runs properly besides the calling feature. When he recieves a call he cant hear anything, and when he calls someone they cant hear him(tired calling numerous phones and vise versa) This worked perfect before the flash, anyideas?:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
you're still using a froyo radio..

you need to flash a gingerbread radio and that will fix the issue
[HTC Incredible S] Corbin.:
I figured! What and where can i get a radio for a incredible s on bell canada? Or it dosent matter as long as its gingerbread?

Promises 2GB file sizes, 10GB storage with no download limits...

http://min.us/rdiBKVs

edit: my account has Max 50GB storage so if anyone wants me to put a different referral link in let me know...

Link above should give me and whoever signs up an extra 1GB of space too

I'm not sure how good it is on par with DropBox, Box.net, SkyDrive etc. but 2GB file sizes seemed good to me - my Box.net account didn't want me to have more than 100MB files which was annoying.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I am running Faux-AOSP-1.3.1 with the Trinity kernel 2.6.32.45 overclocked to MHz. I turned auto brightness off. I have profiles setup in setcpu for calls, screen off, charging, battery temp, and battery level all set to 1000MHz. I have a crap ton of apps installed and no live wallpaper. Yesterday I used my phone to make phone calls, text, emails, xda, download some apps, picture messaging, and Facebook. I woke up this morning and I had almost 20 hours on that charge. I think that is excellent battery life for a 2.3.5 ROM that is not Miui. I know Miui gets awesome battery life because I have used that before but I could not believe that I got this kind of battery life out of this ROM overclocked so much. The quadrant scores are between 4500-4900. I have yet to have a screen of death, reboot, or freeze on this ROM and I have been using it for the past 4 days. I just thought that I would share this with everyone. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dr. Bogenbroom:
I've always experienced outstanding battery life on Faux's AOSP 1.3.1 (he mentions there's a 1.3.2 in another post but i've been unsuccessful in tracking it down). I don't get those screaming quadrant scores you get but Faux's AOSP is a battery sipper!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
EB 2.3.3 version 1.0.7

I got over 18 hours of battery life with charge, moderate use, and didn't have to do anything other than flash ROM.

Its about the only thing that sucks about CM7 based ROMS, battery life just terrible and a bunch of modifications are needed just to extend battery life.

Stock 2.3.3 based ROMS aren't so bad, except that Netflix don't work, Lock Screen doesn't have music widgets, and music player widget sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GuestK00233:
I generally get around 20 hours with faux, too bad his kernel wont work in the new nightly yet

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DeanBoro:

You do not just replace the files... You copy right the system folder but all the other permissions you give are useless...

EDIT 2:

It works... i think the sound is louder... i will test it with my brothers X8 and i will tell you...

Ok, here is a working xRecovery *.zip based on GingerDX's built.prop with the Bravia Engine enabled too... (Attached)

I can't stand miui roms and imo cm7 is not as good as (modified) stock
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xProteus:
I think its because stock isn't that modular in terms of customizations (they need to change framework apks in /system). Also, you change a kernel a custom rom pops up. Add some icons another one gets added. Change theme colors, yet another one. Its a function of the possible number of combinations.

With cm its mostly barebones. One official kernel also. And theme chooser. Instead of actually downloading a whole ROM with a few tweaks to colors and icons, you just download a theme (which installs as an app and you can change without flashing).

Lastly, stock integrates so much better with the hardware and is actually quite nice. Was running it from when I got my phone up until a few weeks ago.

Lately I just found it to be a bit bulky. So now I'm on insanity ii based on cm7 which is super light. :cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
There are some cm7 based roms, insanity and oxygen.

As cm7 is still beta they don't want people building custom kernels yet, due to the extra load it would put on them due to stupid people reporting bugs in the custom kernels to them.
