Do a full wipe, use Virus's Superwipe.zip, then flash a stock ROM. Boot into the ROM, skip everything until you get to wifi, connect to your network, then skip the rest (sync, gmail, tell htc). Reboot to recovery(1.4) or fastboot to recovery(1.5). Re flash the superwipe tool, flash the ROM you want. Boot it up and you should be fine.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alextjen:
Here are the top six roms in MY opinion that are the best...

1.)StarskyROM (The one nobody talks about, but offers the BEST performance, in exchange for a couple bugs, that absolutely relate nothing to user-experience-quality. Pretty Stock, balls to the wall speed, not bad battery)

2.) LegendaryRom

3.)ACS ICS (Dont think its being updated anymore, Marcusant created MarcusantRom, listed below, which is basically the same thing as ACS ICS)

4.)SleeperRom (Amazing battery life)

5.)MarcusantRom (Incredibly Stable, Fast, Amazing Looks)

6.).....no need to list beyond this point, its all a matter of personal preference.....

Kenny is right. To paraphrase- "the phone chooses the ROM"

(I've tried them all except Random's, and they're all great. Marcusant's was probably my fave. On CleanGB now with Travis' new Minimalistic Black theme and loving it. Try new Shadow Kernel, its the bomb)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealTic:
What kind of quadrant score do you get with the shadow kernel on stock settings? I'm running starskrom, flashed the shadow kernel, and now I'm getting 250 less of a score on quadrant. I've gerard some people saying they are getting 3000 or more. That not possible without overclocking right?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
That is correct. You need to OC to get that score. Quadrant is crap and can be easily spoofed. It does just some number crunching and a few video routines. The best judge of performance is how it works and feels for you. If you are hung up on whose benchmark is bigger, stick to smartbench 2010.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlzzt:
Kenny is right- to paraphrase, "quadrant size doesn't matter".

Or whatever. I just judge by eye- am I lagging? Sticking? Randomly rebooting? My current setup has been flawless. But I am a charter member of "Flashaholics Anonymous" and CK23 is getting ready to drop Serenity 1.1.1, so I have a feeling a Nand backup and new flash is coming at me.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeinzu:
Because you provided no actual info. 30hrs plus and no mention of usage, apps running/used, oc/uc/uv, screen on time, ect. It's not helpful to say "My phone sits on the desk all day long and I don't touch it and it lasts 30hrs." Most people looking for advice on setups for good battery probably actually use their device. I can overclock and speed tweak the hell outta my phone then choose not to touch it for over 30hrs and hardly lose battery too, anyone can on absolutely any rom/kernel combination. So anyway what is your screen on time for a 30hr run?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealTic:
Cry me a river, you are 100% crazy bro. You are taking this post waaay to serious. Im not going to get into a pissing match with you over battery life. I use my phone plenty throughout the day... Yes, I as well "actually use my phone." I say about 1 hour of total use per day, considering I have classes all day long. Thats not a ton of use, but still plenty.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
This is why any advice on battery life is practically meaningless. EVERY Phone is different and so is every user's needs. Someone may compare 2 ROMs or kernels and say B lasted longer than A but only used his phone as a phone and texter. Where another user is a hardcore gamer but B had GPU routines that used more battery power and for him it is the other way around. That is why I keep telling people don't ask advice on which ROM to use, just try them. Everything is relative.

I didn't attack you or anything moron, that's where "you" decided to go with it for some unknown reason. I stated my opinion about battery claims because it's hard to judge good battery life in a rom/kernel when the people suggestion it don't actually use the device and base their battery life around strictly idling the phone.

Just FYI everybody, some of these threads *seem* kind of pointless, such as 'Post your favorite wallpaper' when it is just as easy to suggest a program like Zedge which has gobs of wallpapers and ringtones...

The point of forums like XDA is to share information. Hence, this thread can be really helpful if people stuck to relating their experience on the custom ROMs.

Obviously, everybody's experience is going to be different based on different usage, but nonetheless, some feedback would be helpful to help people choose a ROM to run.

PS: I know that each ROM has it's own thread which provides page after page of feedback. At the bare minimum, hoping that this thread might have some anecdotal comparisons and quick summaries of user experience to help people choose from the ROMs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Do you mean as opposed to the last 20 threads that came through asking "what's the best ROM"? No the best method is to read the ROM threads since everyone will just tell you the ROM they are on. If a user wants detailed information on what may be his or her best choice then they should write a very thorough list of how they use their phone and what they want in a ROM otherwise this thread turns into just a list of who is running what like the last 20 threads exactly like this. Why not just ask who to vote for for President instead of doing any research on the issues?

I'd have to say RandomRom Thunderhawk 3.3 is definitely my new favorite. Only been running it for 3-4 days, but have had zero issues thus far. Battery life is amazing!! As of this moment, I'm 1 day, 22 hours on battery & have 9% left.

Admittedly, I haven't been using it heavily the past couple days; few texts, google talk, some twitter/facebook updates, couple short calls, etc.. 2.5 hours screen on time.

That being said, I agree with the other posters that say each phone/user is different. A rom that works horribly for one user may run flawlessly for another.

Good luck!

I think 911 works now on miui. And I don't have random reboot anymore either. Sometimes I think its the backups that cause those. Also, video should work soon. Also, I love cm7, but my battery was not good on there. Miui has had better battery in my experience. Cm7 is probably the best rom for now

I know how to go back to stock using those tools. That's not the point of the question. I want to know if using the tool I posted will also take the phone back to stock. I've returned to stock many times using the hack kit without a problem, but will THIS tool work as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
I see no tool on that page you linked. There is only a stock RUU. And that will not give you s-on. You need the AAHK or Gene's tool.

OP, there is no need to re-invent the wheel. Gene and attn1 have made great products that will get you back to stock. Why pave your own way when someone has done all the dirty work for you? But if you're dead set on it, you try it and let us know.

Hey guys I have overcome rom on my galaxy tab 10.1 along with the overcome recovery 5.1.2.6. I was curious is it okay to flash none overcome roms with this recovery or do I need to put a generic cmw recovery on it? Thinking about flashing and trying out galaxytask on it for a bit.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazycd1:
Okay.. I tried to install galaxytask again and as soon as I get it started up and let it sit a while it starts locking up. So I used odin and flashed the recovery that comes with the root.zip and wiped completely then installed galaxytask again and it started to lock up again. It will freeze and the screen stays on and becomes unresponsive and the only thing I can do is a hard reset. I am installed my backup of overcome rom now hoping that works. I tried galaxytask 6.6 and 7 also in the past and they also locked up on me. Does anyone have any idea what could be locking it up every single time I try another rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c10layman:
I am trading in my Rezound for the Galaxy Nexus because I'm pretty fed up with the hissing and buzzing noise that I've been experiencing while using headphones with the Rezound. The problem seems pretty wide spread and I don't feel like waiting around for an update to fix the problem plus I'm regretting my decision now that I'm seeing how tightly locked up the Rezound seems to be.

My question is if I call Verizon and ask for a replacement phone because of the sound issues with my Rezound whether they'll force me to get another Rezound or if I can get a Nexus instead. If they force me to take another Rezound I'd be better off just taking my current Rezound into a store and trading it in for the Nexus since I have until 15 January although then I would have to pay the restocking fee which I'm trying to avoid. Any tips from people with more knowledge of Verizon policies would be great. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twizted_dreams1:
More than likely there going to give you another Rezound.

Take it back to the store and get the SGN is your best bet...

I went to a retail store originally to buy my Rezound, what a mistake that was as he would not exchange it, so i bought the SGN at a corporate store and up on the bay my Rezound goes...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelkahl:
If you purchased your Rezound after 11/15 then you are in the worry free guarantee period (so long as you didn't exchange another phone for the rezound). You get one exchange. Warranty replacements are not an exchange, I know because I got a warranty replacement and was still able to exchange my Rezound for the Nexus.

I got my first Rezound on 11/23, warranty replaced on 11/27, exchanged for Nexus on the 15th.

I hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twizted_dreams1:
Ill have to check again to see if they will exchange my Rezound. as i know the return policy for corp is through Jan 15th or the 5th i believe...

Last time i checked which was the 15th premium retailer had said no as he was retail and they set there own rules from corp...

I had tried another retailer same name and was told i had to return or exchange at the same store...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c10layman:
yeah I called the store I picked it up from and apparently since they're just a verizon authorized retailer they don't follow that JAN 15 return date... so I'm guessing I'll have to actually take it to a real verizon store or call verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twizted_dreams1:
I tried the corp store for the return as well, i was told i could not return it there, I don't remember the reason they gave me at the time.

I ended up buying it outright a few hours later from the same store as they only had a $650 price, BB and The shack both wanted $800...

I wish you luck on getting it exchanged at an actual store...

Okay has anyone who followed the instructions of installing 2.0+ had any wifi issues. I was on eclipse 1.3 so I sbfed to 2.3.4 installed the 2.3.5 update (412) then zergrush rooted and bootstrap installed 2.0.2. Now my wifi times out randomly. I've tried changing the wifi timeout policy and restarting the router. I re sbfed and tried again redownloading each update. And still nothing. The problem seems to lie in 2.3.5 (412) update. I tried just using stock in between updates and it also had the issue. I also wiped data cache and dalvik inbetween each step.

P.s wifi reset 8 times while typing this
[Motorola Droid X2] IAreKyleW00t:
Unfortunately, I've never had a problem with Wifi... and I use that about 75% of the time on my phone. I'm running Eclipse 2.0.2 and I did it exactly how you said you did it. SBF 2.3.4, update 2.3.5, root and BSR. Clear caches and flash. Maybe it's hardware or a bad connection, because the only time I time out with wifi is if I sometimes get low signal.
[Motorola Droid X2] mustbepbs:
I've been having this issue since 2.3.4 so after doing everything you described that didn't fix it for me either. I think mine is a hardware issue and not software related because it doesn't happen nearly as often as you describe it, and I know it doesn't have anything to do with the router since my other phone doesn't have this issue. Let me know if you figure it out.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I only see this issue when I use 2.3.5. It's not an eclipse issue, it's an issue with 2.3.5.

Some have stated that build 413 of 2.3.5 is the culprit. Well, I'm using build 412 and seeing the issue and I'm not the only one.

The problem with 2.3.5 is, they are not official updates from Verizon. Therefore, I'm going back to 2.3.4 and using the Liberty3 ROM where I had no issues at all.

I know it's the 2.3.5 because I've sbf'd back to 2.3.4 and then upgraded to 2.3.5 four times since last night and every time, when I tested with 2.3.4 first, no wifi issues. As soon as I upgraded to 2.3.5 and wiped everything, WiFi would cut out and restart itself every couple of minutes, even when I wasn't doing anything. I just sat there for 30 minutes and observed my WiFi cutting out and re-establishing itself. I even rebooted my cable modem and reset my router to no avail.

I cannot get the 413 build. I tried downloading the "fake" mp3 file in the cheesecake thread, but every time I try to unzip it after renaming it, it says there was an error attempt to read the compression method. So, either it's corrupted or else, they are using some other zip utility I don't know of. I tried using both WinZip and 7-zip. Neither works.

So, I'm going back to 2.3.4 and Liberty3 which worked darn well for me and it's a shame. I really liked the latest Eclipse, but since it's using a buggy build, I'm going back to 2.3.4 which seems stable.
[Motorola Droid X2] DrGlitchyPhD:
I don't know why some people have the problems and others don't on the 2.3.5 build. But I sbfed to 2.3.4 and put eclipse 1.3 back on and no problems. I hope for an official 2.3.5 or higher soon and hope nitro will continue to dev on the x2.
