Try this website theunlockr.com/ and then select the roms and then android and your device... it got a few pretty good roms.. I'm currently using the lightning rom... its really good...

Try out the website... good for other handsets too...

cheers
[Galaxy S II General] kyleforge:
The best rom is everybody's own opinion. My personal opinion is to stick with Samsung based roms instead of Cyanogenmod or MIUI because of the better camera and the native divx playback etc.
[Galaxy S II General] galeej:
I would recommend Simple & Clean Rom v1.3... awesome battery life and good performance as well.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
You should really try the ICS ROM, it's by far better than the others.

Don't be a ****. the guy is probably new here and wants some advice, not abuse. tbh i've been on here a while and it's still a question that pops up in my head from time to time.

I've used Power + 2.0 SP1 which has ceased development. Battery life is excellent, nearly 2 days standby, and basically the original ROM.

then I've tried VillianRom 3.0 and it's basically the same, just has VRtweaks which is an app to download minor tweaks to the system.

I'm running Miui 1.11.11 totally different, has a Android / iPhone feel to it. very nice, Battery life is above average. worth ago in m opinion but I do miss the Camera from the original ROM. You can theme the phone via the themes option which is nice, and you can install Go Launcher which makes it look like any other Android on the Desktop, but once you use the dialer, sms, settings etc it's still very Miui.

I think the real answer is there all very similar with devs personal opinion of needed changes, ROMs based on the original are strangely enough like the original, and ROMs like Cyanogenmod are like a Google Nexus, i.e. AOSP(sp?) then Miui is a totally different concept based on it's own look style and performance.

Personally i'm awaiting the ICS ROMs dev will be soon knocking out. I never found Android perticularly polished compared to say an iPhone, ICS seems to bring this forward some i'm quite excited. but in the meantime, Miui might fill that gap. Otherwise your stuck with the current ROM
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
I'm not a ****. I'm just not patient with people. Yes, maybe I'm a ****. But what does he expect? 100 people just coming in here and share their favorite ROM? Would he be then able to pick one from those? Would he count how many votes does each ROM received? Why not go for popularity then, and check which ROM thread has the most views, at least he would get a larger sample, even if won't give him too much information. Would the answers be subjective? Does he expect a short review from all of us for all the ROMs we tried? What happens if the first 10 persons who respond are total morons who only picked the worst ROMs ever?

I see persons like him, I imagine a random lazy guy who bought his phone because it was cool. He is not satisfied with what he got, so he thought he wants more "new features". He has no idea what "new features" the "new ROMs" can bring, but since there are so many ROMs, they can't all be the same, right? Some of them have to have some shiny lasers or whatever! But how does he find that exact ROM? Let's create a new thread, and ask which is the ROM with the most shiny new laser!!1. But it has to be simple. CM7 was too complex and buggy. At least that's what he heard, he didn't find any, except he couldn't play the fullHD porn on his phone anymore :(. So let's see what others recommend, so we can install it in a simple way. Because if it's not simpler than 3 clicks, he will ask 10 questions on how to install it. And after everything is working correctly, he won't like the ROM, because it's not shiny enough. Eventually he will find a ROM which has an included shiny theme, and he will think his ROM is full of features! ... oh **** I gotta go back to work.

Well, maybe I over-analyzed the situation a bit, in which case I would have one suggestion: search for the similar threads on these forums, you will find many, and see what people have answered...

WajkIUI ROM

I've had this ROM on my SGS2 for about two days now. It's called "WajkIUI ROM". And it's the best I've ever flashed to my device. It has a whole new look, it extends the battery life, the sytem apps are customized, you can change the theme of the ROM as well, and it just has a new overall feel to it.

You just have to try it for yourself. Below is the link to the xda thread. Hope you LOVE it like I do. :D

What are the main benefits of rooting? is it worth it ?
[HTC Sensation XL] EliteTiger86:
The benefits of rooting for me is to make the handset completely customised to the way I want it. I do it mainly for the custom roms and it gives me full control over everything on my phone!
[HTC Sensation XL] diegomtoscano:
for me it's that I can overclock or under volt which is really part of customizing the phone and it's all about the custom roms I literally love the rcmix tweaks and all the good stuff found in a Capy ROM also for me is that I can emulate with market access any provider worldwide so that means I can get apps even thou they're not authorized out available for my region!

Hello,

I realize that are more open discussion regarding this subject but as a precaution I still want a second opinion.

So that being said I want to upgrade to [DFT Freedom ROM] Mango 7720 CustomV2 ROM for HTC WP7 First Generation

Phone: HTC Trophy 1st gen

What I've done so far:

1. Chevron 7 Unlocked and interop unlocked

2. Updated to NoDO

3. Updated to Mango but restored to backup as unlocked was lost (now NoDo Unlocked)

Firmware: 2250.21.12200.164

Rom Version: 1.22.164.00

CV: 164 I belive is Vodafone SP

Bootloader info:

PC40100 SS-BC (4k)

SPL-4.6.2250.0(129185) MNG

MicroP (LED) 0x09

Touch AI (V10,20)

What are the steps I need to do in order to achieve my goal??

4.I am not shore if I need to downgrade SPL in order to load DFT HSLP/RPSL and for this that I need to flash a stock branded ROM (!?) or I can just flash the SPL from it?

5.After that I can flash [DFT Freedom ROM] Mango 7720 CustomV2 ROM for HTC WP7 First Generation ?

So anyone that knows what needs to be done and kind enough to offer help regarding steps 4 and 5 please help me!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tynman11:
Already know that no one really knows what's going on with the release date, but I went to the Verizon store down the road from me, walked in and played stupid to see what I could find out. Of course they stated the obvious that it hasn't been released yet, BUT the Verizon rep I spoke with did say that they are expecting an announcement on the Galaxy Nexus on Friday.

This could mean alot of things. Maybe the announce a release date? Maybe they open up web only ordering? Maybe the announce a delay? (BOO) Or maybe they just do what we're all hoping and just released the phone already!!! Either way, I'm going to see that Verizon rep on Friday expecting positive Galaxy Nexus News!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
someone else wanted to give back n epic and the store clerk told them to bring it back friay and pre order the galaxy nexus. hmmm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tynman11:
It makes sense. Verizon would be crazy not to release it before Black Friday. Hopefully there's not a big window between pre-order and release date...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
I wonder when Verizon's email early announcement will come to life. It was suppose to allow you to be "one of the first to receive a galaxy nexus." It would seem those folks should get word first.

I have grown to disregard their reviews completely now. I have also never seen a non apple product on their site get past a 4. Amazing phones and tabs too, including but not limited to: The Sammy Galaxy Note, Acer W500 tab, Acer A500 tab, and I think the Galaxy S2.

The user reviews are usually highly contrasting with the Cnet reviews. Am I paranoid or is Cnet a bunch of apple fanboys?

When I tried to give my android superstar products a 5, they blocked my ratings as well. Gotta love apple censorship.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
CNET is nearly all either android or iOS fanboys. Few tech blogs can avoid fanboyism in their postings.
[Off-topic] AllGamer:
agree, from most readings from Cnet, they always paint pink the Apple stuff

or when they try to be "neutral" yet they story sounds like they have no idea what they are writing about

I would have to agree with you. Their inability to maintain even a modicum of neutrality is one of the main reasons why I have completely stopped reading CNet.

Hi everybody !

I've read that some peaple want to have a Windows Phone 7 port to DHD and I think that it will be interesting.

Everytime, response is "it's not possible, Android is open source and not WP" or "hardware is not the same" but I take a little search and I found that HTC Radar have the same CPU like Samsung Focus S and Nokia Lumia 710.

Nokia Lumia 710 have the same GPU too !

With this, is it possible to port Windows Phone 7 to DHD ?

Thank for your answers !
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
OK your missing the fact that wp is not opensource witch means that it can't be modded to run on non windows devices.

And as you said that you found the other replies you should have known that the main problem is that its closed source which can't be changed

do not waste your time rooting your archos 101 or any other android tablet in hopes of using your android phone like samsung galaxy s because it is ad-hoc

and no matter what you read on here..it does not work. no one can tell you how to do it or what to do because they themselfs have not done it. it will not connect it will only waste your time. also do not get fooled into thinking that by using wifi tether 3.1 or 3.2 beta will get you infrastructure as this is also a pack of lies. i did this followed what (simple steps) and my archos 101 does not even find it. so much for that idea.

[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
I am looking forward to have all 3 Roms at one time. I want the Sense ROM to be the Base ROM with options to add MIUI and CM7 having multiple boots using Boot Manager..

If I possibly do it, my applications will install separately or it will have common location ? And where will the mods our themes for each ROM go independently?
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Alright jjdoctor, since you helped me out a lot from before with the volume mod which you can still help me with this one I have attached, I will help you out with Boot Manager. :D

Just so you know it works flawless with MIUI and CM7. Alright now to the point.

Each SD ROM creates an IMG. file on your SD Card in the Boot Manager directory. Though when you install stuff, everything will virtually be inside that .IMG file. So if you have another ROM all your stuff will go in that .img file. I'm not sure if I am answering correctly but ask me again if anything.

You will just install it through ROM using Boot Manager. Although when you install a them, do not wipe any boxes =D

So I recently upgraded from a captivate to the SGS2.

However, the files that my SGS2 is recording in is unrecognized by every computer i've tried to play it on so far. Its a .ga file and even a google search of that file type doesnt yield anything useful. The voice recorder files from my captivate were in a .gp format. While i have no idea what that is either, i never had any problems playing it on any computer i used. Any help with this?

All,

Can you please tell me of a software where I can make different call profiles/groups on my phone like in Nokia phones, where I can define different profiles/groups with contacts and set up call priorities?

For example: I make a profile/group for family and when I activate it only the contacts under that group can call me. If any of the contacts outside that profile call me my phone wont ring or beep.

Is there any such software out there ???

:confused::confused::confused:

No such softwares on your mind???
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
None that I can think of as that would require alot of different permissions from different apps. I know you dont want a temp one, IT was just my way of explaining what you want. you want to be able to Blacklist (so to speak) all other calls except for the ones in the group that you define.
