Opinions can be either subjective or objective. I fail to see how asking for opinions makes a question biased. It's a biased question if someone asks "in what ways are ROM X worse than ROM Y?" (as the asker would've obviously already made a judgement call), but that clearly isn't what happened here.

Why am I bothering to argue this point? Because you're shutting out a perfectly valid request for discussion. Sure, we can "search" and find another instance where you similarly shut the thread out. We can also look in the respective developer threads and see people complaining about their pet bug, but that doesn't make it a comparison between the two ROMs, and that doesn't make it indicative of the users' overall experiences with the ROMs as a whole.

And actually, no, this isn't an "opinion based" question (not that there's anything inherently wrong with opinions). Experiences -- unless fabricated or misinterpreted -- are fact; they happened, and the user didn't just "feel" like they happened.

SO. I think the thread has been sufficiently derailed already. Let's try to get it back on track with a real discussion.

I have tried both the CM9 alpha and ICSGS RC2. Personally I liked the CM's version better and have experienced better performance with theirs ...
[Captivate General] raz123:
Thanks for the input.

Can you provide details as to the pros and cons of each?
[Captivate General] jwood55812:
Whatever man, let her close all the other questioning the difference between two roms threads then /s

To me, ICSSGS seemed a little less polished when I tried the Beta 2 compared to Build 13 on upwards for the teamhacksung port. The only thing that really got me about ICSSGS, was after 5 or so days it seemed to really slow down to where a reboot was needed. I'm not sure how the ICSSGS one does it, but it's annoying to me to have to reflash gapps with each new build of the hacksung port, I never had to do that with CM Nightlies so not sure why I do now, but it's really not that big of a deal. Anyways, thats my $.02, try them both out, they're both great!
[Captivate General] kangi26:
I've run most of both ICS ROM's(Except the latest ICSSGS) from the start.

To me they are both

very

similar in performance, I feel THS is a bit better.

I'm not a HUGE fan of pure ASOP Rom's, I like having a little bit of customization, which I get with THS's ROM. I haven't been completely been following ICSSGS's thread since THS came out with Build 14. I was VERY happy with it, B14 was filling in all of the little quirks that I was not too happy with and didn't feel the need to get into ICSSGS's V3. Some folks have been having SOD issues with THS B14/15, I have not had any myself until I started messing with kernels.

Now I don't want to say that I was at all unhappy with ICSSGS's ROM, it's a really great ROM, but with my device(as we all know, each can be a bit different). I feel THS was doing it a little bit better for me.

Hope this info helps some

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notmyepic:
With my Epic on CM7 with any nightly and either the stock or Shadow kernel, when I am on a call, the other person constantly asks me to go to a quieter area when out in public. I have tried to change settings in DSP even tried to uninstall it. I am not sure what else to do.

So, is there a dialer code or terminal code that can be changed to adjust the microphone volume level while on a call?

Im kinda at a loss here ....ive tried several gb kernels and i cant seem to find one that is compatable for the voodoo control app.

Can someone point me to a good kernel for this please
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Voodoo plus works great for me. Has on any kernel. What are you trying to do?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
He probably does not have voodoo plus. I don't think we have a kernel with voodoo sound.

Voodoo plus is it for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Thats it i was trying to use the sound controls.

I loved that option when i had my vibrant
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
He probably doesn't. If he did I bet we wouldn't see this post here. So shortbus it's worth the cash. Get voodoo control plus. Problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Ok so with the paid vrs comes the extended sound controls for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Raver puts his own sound tweaks in his ROMs if you are on Cyanogenmod Hybrid or Octaine.

Yes the paid version works without a supported kernel. I believe it even says that in the app description.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
yep. Come to think of it the regular may also come with it. If you have non free version is there a choice to load sound driver?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
The free vrs has the option....if the paid vrs has it and it works even thought the free one doesnt....i dont have a problem purchasing it.

The voodoo control app is a must have....works awsome on the vibrant and now i want it on this phone lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The regular voodoo needs the kernel. I think that is how he entices you to pay for it.

"If you don't want or cannot flash a kernel, my commercial app "Voodoo Control Plus" has the ability to load Voodoo Sound with only root." -- free voodoo app description

So you need the paid because we do not have a custom kernel to support it... yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Yeah the paid one works. Go ahead and get it. Pretty nice too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Ok thank you....thats the answer i was looking for

Irfanview will do it. It's the Swiss army knife of image viewers for windows and the best freebie on the internet. Been around for many years. No spyware. If nothing else, everybody should have it just for the sake of having it. Lol, can you tell I think it's a great program? :)

Sh!t man, you wana be any more vague? Like a name of the application on PC might help. Both of your responses are complete rubbish. The guy was looking for help.

PS: Thanks to those who gave a decent reply in this thread, I have thanked yous;) sometimes I wish there was a neg button for others
[Motorola Droid X2] Jarmezrocks:
How exactly do you do this? I have Infraview...but no dice with editing .gif? Or save as multiple images?:confused:
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Open the gif in Irfanview and click options>extract all frames. A small window will open prompting you for the folder that you want to save them in. Browse to the folder you want to save it in. Before you save it though, at the bottom of the window you'll see a save as box. Click the arrow and select png (portable graphics network). Then click the save button. You should end up with a picture for each frame in the animated gif saved in the proper format.

If you only want to do minimal editing, you might be able to use Irfanview to edit them however it's editing abilities are quite limited. Much like those of MS Paint. If one of those programs doesn't work for editing them the way you want, use whatever graphics editor suits you fancy. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjairusx:
Hi all, so I've rooted by phone using the amazing one click script and have managed to unlock the phone using sgs unlock tool but sgs2 could not find my unlock code.

Before attempting this I backed up my EFS folder.

Its been a while since i've flashed anything (a few years ago on my old old htc hero, had a desire hd since that which I didn't feel the need to flash at the time) and Now I have my SGS2 which came locked on the orange UK network.

Not amazed with the colour scheme and much preferred the blue battery etc of the virgin simfree sgs2 I had previously lol. It appears to have lots of orange bloatware present on the ROM aswell as annoying boot animation which i'd like to remove.

I do quite like the signal boost app idea although not sure how well it works as not had chance to try it!

I've added Go Launcher and a nice ICS theme on there to play with and a HTC sense theme but not overly impressed with go launcher and it seems to stop my search button function from functioning for some reason. I've got plenty of apps installed and configured although one thing that has annoyed me is being able to remove googlemail and gtalk from the social hub program as having google account sync on, I get 2 notifications about my emails.

*#1234# has provided me with the following details if anyone can decipher it. I'm actually using a t-mobile network card at present.

Whats the latest best stock ROM in peoples opinions? How do I remove orange bloatware via adb and is it possible to modify the orange boot screen? Alternatively... so I just wipe and flash a new stock simfree rom to start with?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
I would recommend flashing hyperdroid (personal favorite) v5 final if you want to use ics domination.

Most themes won't work on odexed roms like the totally stock Samsung ones. You would need a deodexed custom rom.

To freeze bloatware or remove it I would use titanium backup or Gemini app manager (this also manages auto runs)

When installing a new rom you will need to wipe data, so use titanium backup to backup user app data and apps only, SMS backup+ to backup sms's and sync your contacts to Google.

Your internal and external SD cards won't be wiped but always backup stuff you can't afford to lose.

[HTC Wildfire S] ShankkOG:
Hi everyone!

What we need:

A kernel hacker!

Why?

Because of this:​

​

You probably still remember me for my famous "S-OFF without XTC-Clip conclusions" thread. We all know that now, HTC has given us the privilege of unlocking our Bootloaders using HTC-Dev. This allows us to Root and flash Custom ROMS, and all that; so we're all happy with that. But there are others out there, like me, who want to take even more advantage of this, and still get S-OFF, just like before. Now, we have a deeper understanding of our WFSs, so S-OFF is now much, much easier. If we get S-OFF, then we will have many more privileges on our phones.

With S-OFF, we can get:

Our warranties back

The ability to resize our system partitions.

The ability to flash different HBOOTs.

And many other things!

Be sure to visit *se-nsei.'s campaign, click here!

no.human.being posts his latest findings there.

My thoughts on this is:

from another thread, I've seen that when the HTC-Dev RUU was flashing HBOOT, it froze, but it still managed to flash rom_01.zip. This means, that when flashing HBOOT, the phone needs to be made S-OFF, then, when rom_02.zip is flashed, it finishes flashing HBOOT, and finally changes the security flag on, again.

So, I did some experimenting of my own. I flashed rom_01.zip using many methods, but all my attempts miserably fail. Why? Because the file is not signed properly. This got me thinking, if it's an HTC ROM, then why won't it flash?!?! Probably, because HTC made it in such a way, that the phone rejects it, or it won't work properly without the other files, that maybe reside in the RUU.

Maybe, someone can look into it, and find the function that S-OFFs the phone.

Perhaps, it might flash if it's on a Goldcard, so we'll have to do some more experimenting.

There is a possibility though, that using no.human.being's C code that he made earlier, we could S-OFF the phone, as it will be able to access more "sections" of the phone. We'll just have to compile/convert it and run/flash it.

Like before, if you have any suggestions, please tell me (by posting in this thread, please only PM if you think it's a very close solution, or if it's very important)

Good Luck everyone!

I think you might want to try extracting the img file and use fastboot flash radio radio.img.
[HTC Wildfire S] ShankkOG:
Thanks, I have tried this though, but I didn't rename it to radio.img. Perhaps I'll ry this if I got some time (I'm still in High School, and they give me way to much homework. They are so annoying!)
[HTC Wildfire S] ShankkOG:
Ideas! Anyone!
[HTC Wildfire S] slavislavi:
Is there a similar way to boot into ENG-HBOOT(unsecured)

like fastboot -c "mtdparts=msm_nand:0x..." boot unsecuredhboot.img ?

Then if unsecuredhboot.img wil be on sdcard we have possibility to flash s-offed hboot.
[HTC Wildfire S] ShankkOG:
Somebody help this guy....... This is not my level. I'm a bit lower. I doubt it will work though.
[HTC Wildfire S] no.human.being:
No, that won't work. The "boot" command takes an Android image, which consists of a kernel, an initrd and a special header. The header tells the bootloader of the phone where to load the kernel in memory, etc. It won't be present in an ENG-HBOOT image, so the phone's bootloader won't be able to boot it.

Furthermore, HBOOT expects the controller to be "uninitialized" and will then initialize it. When the kernel is executed via Fastboot, the controller has already been initialized by HBOOT, after all that's the actual purpose of a bootloader. The ENG-HBOOT probably won't behave correctly if it finds the controller already initialized by a "lower level" bootloader.

Last but not least, the "mtdparts=..." is a kernel parameter. Basically it's just a string (character sequence) that is passed to the kernel. What the kernel does with it is principally the kernel's thing. It's just that "mtdparts=..." can be used on an embedded Linux kernel to change the partition mapping. I doubt that HBOOT can take parameters, since it's not designed to be loaded by anything else (apart from possibly an extremely low-level processor-specific firmware that most likely won't have a facility for passing parameters).
