So after realizing I don't have a boat load of time to read through all the sense based roms on the dev page I was hoping I could get some insight. I use aosp ROMs and "senseless" Roms only so I have been out of the Sense based ROM game for some time now. Can anyone reccomend a good Sense based ROM for my g/f to use as her every day build. She currently has Nik's ROM and doesn't like it due to the fact that it randomly resets itself, I'd fix the problem but I'd rather just d/l something new so she can have that shiny new feeling. If anyone could give me some reccomendations I'd greatly appreciate it (and of course a thanks for anyone willing to help ; ) ).

No ICS and no AOSP / "senseless"

Thanks!

If u want sensed rom, stability n working front camera then try ARHD. If u want sense 3,5 then try nik trinity...but its front camera shows a glitch...
[HTC Incredible S] Nu11eR:
Affinity, perfect rom from Virtuous team.
[HTC Incredible S] Adde79:
I would use ARHD xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
[HTC Incredible S] xansavier:
ARHD would be a good choice
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Hahaha.. i totally understand & i warn you, you better get her something that is flawless or it's all going be your fault :P

My suggestion, 2 of the totally bug free & awesome ROMs out there

- Virtuous Affinity

- DutchDanny's Bindroid

i have used both of the above the longest among all the others & fell in love with both of them.

Affinity has the stock sense look with tweaks & Bindroid has a little extra color which makes for some good eye candy :)

and of course, there are NO problems with ANY function on either of the above, so your call :)
[HTC Incredible S] vladabiber:
Virtuous Affinity if you ask me. It is just as stable as ARHD, but few more bells & whistles. I particulary liked "smooth rosie" tweak...
[HTC Incredible S] santhoshpirate:
wanna impress ur girl? then just use nik's rom loads of tweaks and sense features with TRON themed!!

[HTC EVO 3D] byg.nick:
So I am shopping for a new Micro SDHC card for my 3d and I am a bit torn. I have read that Class 6 is enough for our phones and that Class 10 would be overkill/unnecessary. I always thought faster would be better, but now I'm not sure. I have been looking at the 32gb by Patriot and Lexar, both in class 10.

I could save some mulah by getting a class 6 versus class 10, but that's not my concern. My main concern is compatibility and stability of the card with my 3d and future devices..

In addition to my desire for overall performance and stability, I should also note that I use bootmanager and would like optimal performance when booted to an SDcard ROM.

so my questions are these:

1. which class should I purchase, and why?

2. would you suggest any specific brand over the other? --I am currently looking at patriot and lexar, but open to any suggestions.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Not sure if there is a technical limit to the thoroughput on the sdcard device. With that said, if you're relying on the OS running off the sdcard (Boot Manager), you'll probably want the fasted sdcard possible. Personally, I wouldn't want my OS running off the sdcard, but not everybody sees this the same.

Regarding brands, I've had the best support with Sandisk sdcards. Received a "fake" one once from an authorized retailer and they sent me a replacement for free. No hassle and I was very impressed. I had an "Adata" class 8 sdcard die on my few months back and wasn't very happy about that.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
I bolded the key phrase here: buy the 10.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Boot manger says on there website they recommend a class 6 or better. So I'm thinking the better the card the better the performance. I'm running a samsung class 10 sd and I get 9.8 mbps read speed & 42+ mbps write speeds and IMO its more than worth the investment and the warranty for the card. Just under 70 bucks @ frys. Its definitely a substantial boost in performance from the class 6 16gb I had in my Evo3d before. Patriot from what I was reading was giving to many hit & miss user comments on new egg and Amazon so its like a 50/50 chance. Pny also. Sandisk I would recommended good name brand also Samsung. Imo just read the users feedback on whatever card you choose to get a general idea of how the card is. Also I'd definitely recommend class 10 after having one.

[HTC EVO 3D] byg.nick:
Thanks, I appreciate your input.

If you haven't ran Bootmanager, you may not understand fully. BootManager is the equivalent of dual booting OS on a PC.... it actually has 5 slots for you to install different roms simultaneously.. 1 for the main phone rom (just like normal) then 4 additional slots that can be booted and run from the SD card. Even on a class4 card, I have had a great experience running roms from the SD. So good, as a matter of fact, that I cant tell the difference between the rom installed to the phone and the rom installed to the SD... I am currently setup with MIUI as my actual phone rom, Senseless in an SD slot, and planning on installing CM7 on another.
[HTC EVO 3D] byg.nick:
So you have noticeable differences between class6 and class10? I mean, i know that they will test differently, but do you really see/feel the difference when browsing/writing files to the SD?

Thanks, I was leaning toward 10 for that exact reason...
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Interesting, I've been wondering how bootmanager is setup and operates. I would imagine one of the reasons you don't notice much "lag" between the difference of using a ROM off internal memory or sdcard could be the amount of RAM on the device. EVO 3D has a good amount of RAM for the time frame/development cycle it was released in.

Android attempts to load up a lot into RAM in the hopes that at some point in the future, the application will be used again and switching will be smooth/easy. The more RAM in the device, probably the less "lag" to be noticed.

Going off this thought, the boot time might be the place to notice the most difference between internal memory and sdcard located ROMs. Either way, getting the faster sdcard, especially when relying on Bootmanager, should have a better impact/performance result.

If you weren't reliant on using Bootmanager, I wouldn't suggest getting the more expensive/quicker sdcard, but since you are, I think Bootmanager users would be the best candidate for a quicker sdcard.

If you do get the faster sdcard and wanted to go the extra mile. Posting up boot times for the same ROMs using the different speed sdcards would be very interesting! Perhaps Bootmanager has some kind of marketing material showing this already, but an independent user's personal results would be interesting!

Hope that helps too!
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Yes a huge difference with the class 10. The class 6 16gb I had doesn't even compare when it comes to reading from the sd and writing to the sd. You should notice a great speed increase. Just load up an app like antu bench mark and run a custom test on the sd you have now and save the results. Then when you get the class 10 do the same. You will definitely see the difference. Also the app is free on the market.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jknigga:
Over the New Years weekend I got a text from a friend saying something like "Hope everyone has a safe New Years!". From the message it was obvious that it was sent to more than one person. I just happened to be with another friend who also received the same text. He has a Droid 3 and in his Messaging app the Send button changes to Send to All or something of that nature. Is there a way to easily tell if a message has been sent to multiple recipients without looking at the message info? I feel like this would be a huge help considering that replying to those sends a text to everyone who got the initial message. Hope that was clear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayneb02:
Long press the message and put view details
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jknigga:
Right I get that. But sometimes a message can seem like it only was sent to you, but then after you reply you find out that it indeed was not. I was hoping for an obvious way to tell, like on the Droid 3 messaging app changing the send button to say send to all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Unless I'm mistaken, that Send to All is a Motoblur specific feature. I don't think by default that SMS messages sent to multiple recipients automatically reply to all recipients. MMS messages might, but not SMS.

I may have to test it later. I'm fairly certain the replies go only to the sender, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jknigga:
I figured that was specific to Motoblur. I like that feature though. Makes it really simple knowing if you received a mass text. I was hoping to find an app or ROM that has this feature as well.
[Galaxy S II General] CrazyElement:
Hi all, I searched for another thread about quadrant scores of SII but can't find, So I decide to make 1 and compare our scores on each kernel firmware. And I also have a question, I see most of people that using kernel speedmod K2-18 , have scores like 4300 or so, I'm using firmware 2.3.6+ kernel speedmod K2-18 , and my top result after reboot phone is 3971 which is close to scores of standart kernel, and why I achieve so low score compare to other speedmod SII? Is that because I didn't overclock it or so? I did the test with 256 mb RAM used.

P.S. the model of my phone is GT-I9100.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magic_android:
Did you do a full wipe when you installed cyanogenmod? I had issues with sound quality and issues with voice quality during calls as well and i'm pretty sure it was because i didn't do a full wipe.

To do a full wipe:

1. Always make sure you backup your current ROM before doing this.

2. From CWM do a factory reset.

3. Format /system through the mounts and storage option in CWM.

4. Wipe the Dalvik Cache through the advanced settings menu in CWM.

5. Install CM 7.1.0 again on your phone which has now been fully wiped :).

That should just about cover it.

I need to keep up. Just picked up a used i9100 for the wife here on XDA last week. I could have given my i9100 to her and bought this. Now I want it and already we have 2 i9100s. I am hesitant to sell mine because it would make a great back up although it would go far to bring down the initial cost.

We are upgrade ready at ATT but I don't want a Carrier device and don't want to blow my upgrades on phones that won't bring a premium like we got with a couple of iPhone 3GS before they went to all the carriers.

Since we don't have LTE here and it's not expected until 2013 we are on the UL data dumb phone 3G+ plans. We use over 200MB but well under 2 GB a month so I did not want to pay $30 each for data. $10 each is great and offsets the cost of the devices as well.

That said the Dell streak failed but somehow I think the Note will be the device to have for those of us who want a bigger screen and a tablet but don't to carry around a bevy of technology.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King_Rat:
Hello there fellow Defy modders ^^

In a week & a half :drools: I'll be getting my hands on one of these bad boys...

I've been modding my Huawei IDEOS U8150 for 1 year or so... <<= Easy to mod... & prior to that it's been all Moto's - V360v & Krzr K3

Some questions: re, defy -

*Do I need to check firmware compatibility before flashing a ROM? (old Moto Krzr K3 hang up) If so - how do I find out what firmware is on ph?

*Does bootloader version also affect which ROM I flash? (my old K3 had a b/l that no-one had ever heard of). Again, how do I find out bootloader version? <<= disregard if doesn't hinder modding process...

*Does the recovery that can be flashed via ROM Manager work for all defy? (seems unlikely, but thought I'd ask)

*No Frills CPU app... I'm guessing it doesn't work on defy. Is this the case? Or, does no-one really use it?

*Blur or not to blur... What's the general consensus?

*Is the bootloader still locked? I've seen a few posts around with leaked b/l... has anyone cracked it?

*Is RSD lite a must? Or can we get away with using the Android part of the ph to do all things?

*I am thinking of doing the following (initially - just to wet the whistle) Please advise if I should be doing other stuff...

a) Root using z4root <<= worked on my 2.2 IDEOS, my defy has 2.2 out of the box -=or=- Superoneclick... (having never used S1C - is it safe i.e. no chance of a soft brick)

b) Get custom recovery up & running... bit hazy on this (extra steps needed when comparing to my Huawei - from what I've read), any advice welcome.

c) [Will del crapware 1st] Make a backup of stock using above... (this is hopefully straightforward).

d) Flash a custom ROM... from what I've read this is a contrived process ^^ colored lenses, fixed SBF's, can't downgrade b/l, etc. etc. etc. (ahh, the rigmarole that is modding Moto is flooding back to me now). Which custom ROM should I be looking @ 1st?

e) Help out with testing & sharing where I can... I'm no dev. but I'll help out anyway I can ;-P

T.I.A :D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt24:
Hi,

Yes the bootloader is locked and (at this time) nobody manage to crack it.

In another hand, coz of this, its almost impossible to brick this phone.

You need to follow the rules about the CG versions of the SBF you use before flashing a new rom (no downgradabilty if you use an highter version than your original)

To root different tools exist. It depends of rom version.

Example: Froyo 2.2 -> Gingerbreak. apk / GB 2.3.4 -> Root3 / 2.3.6 -> S1click... But all are safe.

For the installation of new rom use Defy 2ndinit (bootloader locked) incudind CWM recovery... And for the CPU SetVsel apk

But read this thread first, it will help you I think and give you a lot of answers.;-)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt24:
Didn't tell your wife !...:mad: :D

Ok I never used ROM manager, too complicated for me (I'm a lazy guy:rolleyes:)

For the recovery, the version included in 2ndinit is CWM CyanogenDefy Recovery v5.0.3.1.

About 2ndinit, coz of the locked bootloader, you'll be obligated to use it sooner or later, so... (in this case you don't need to have another recovery)

For the CPU, SetVsel on market is ihmo better. (Be careful this apk is included in the CM7 rom, so delete this apk before flashing CM7)

For save your apk Titanium Backup is great.

IO File manager do well the job...

Edit : CM7 and lot of custom rom are already at 1 Ghz (Omap 3630 is underclock at 800mhz (MB525), normal at 1ghz (MB526), overclock at 1.2 Ghz (Droid2)).
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King_Rat:
I'm thinking if I do a ROM Manager CWM update it'll hopefully dovetail in with 2nd init...
