These kinds of thread are really a gray area for us.

On one hand, there is nothing wrong wanting to get user's opinions. For somebody who is unsure, getting experience from others about what is good and what is bad can be really useful.

On the other hand, you can't just ask "What is the best". For one, since there are different versions of android builds, no one can just say what the "best" is. For some people, the best can be the most bleeding edge build even with broken functionality. For others, they may value stability the most; and for even more, they may want a build with tons of extra features.

So, with that said - OP: i welcome you to rephrase your question, preferably about some specific ROMs that you might have in mind, as well as what your needs are. Otherwise, i will close this down per board rules..

If you know how to flash roms and you are comfortable with it then just try them. Thats the best advice any of us can really give you. Im on sensation rom and that is still alive and a great rom, but its really up to you. ShoStock is your best bet to stay stock though.

I've stuck with ICScrewD and Siyah for the past several months keeping up with the updates and I've been pretty pleased with my battery life and performance. I also switch to Entropy's DD occasionally. It's all stable :)

Try some various ones out man. Like poster above said if you feel comfortable flashing then it can become trial and error. You'll eventually find the one that suits you

SHOstock, is pretty fast and stable, and it still getting updates,, CM7 is awesome but they never fix the issue with the video codecs for our phone so if you have a lot of videos taken with your stock OS you will have to delete those from you SD card.

In the ops defense, the other one appears to be more based on Android version,, however you are correct that people go on to discuss the actual ROM they're running.

First and foremost I'm a HUGE Miami Dolphins fan...It's a shame that you're such a facist

I apologize if I wasn't clear when I said "I prefer a stock experience". I use BT extensively in my car, so I was looking for a MOSTLY stock ROM with finctionality being a priority, would prefer to keep TW as well. Basically, something along the lines of COGNITION or UNNAMED, but, a ROM that keeps getting updates. I wasn't trying to cause problems, but, I really don't feel like going through the 5000 ROMS for this phone; I didn't think asking other users opinions was that bad. I did post in the GENERAL section. I hope that clears it up, if not, delete if you must.

So I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to flashing and whatnot but I had a question about the new ICS roms. From what I've seen, they all need new firmware and most threads provide complicated instructions but they also say flash the firmware. I was just wondering if you can just flash this firmware like a normal ROM, wipe, and then install the ICS ROM. Is that all there is to it?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:

The title is: [Firmware][Jan 29]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24 Unlocked(No need to SuperCID)

EDIT: Before you start make sure you do a Nandroid backup.

When you flash, you just put the PG58IMG.zip on the SD-Card and get into the bootloader, it asks if you want to update, it boot's a couple of times. Remove/rename the PG58IMG.zip Superwipe and flash the ICS ROM of your choice.

For reference the 3.12 (HBOOT 1.23.0000) version supports GB and ICS ROMs, however, the 3.24 one (HBOOT 1.27.0000) only supports ICS. The new firmware also includes a new Radio.

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine wants to temporary block all communications on his phone (from receiving incoming calls and messages) except from one number.

Is it possible? Does he need any application?

Thankfully,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wrt54gs7:
From my understanding (non expert) the SIMs phone number is stored at your carrier's server (and yes you can change your SIMs phone number). When someone calls your number it first connects to your carrier and then your carrier connects the caller to your SIM (phone). With this view, it is your carrier that can decide whose call you can or can not receive, but I don't really know.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pedro Pinto:
Well, in my Arc S, when I'm storing a contact I have a option which says: "Send this contact directly to voicemail" - And it could be a possibility. Is this present on Xperia Mini Pro?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wrt54gs7:
Yes mini pro also has an option to send call directly to voicemail (contact option). Sending caller to voicemail could work.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pedro Pinto:
Is there an app to do it on all contacts? Doing it manually is quite hard. I've tested Mr. Number, however, even blocking calls on my Arc S, the phone rings for like a second or a bit less than that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] wrt54gs7:

To tell you what happened, I updated my sensation with this new RUU to 3.24 I beleive it was, and now my sensation is not rebooting correctly, it said incorrect CID and that ruu update was failed, and now it does not leave the htc splash screen, just keeps looping back to it, i have even tried to use my nandroid backup of my stock rom and its the same thing. I am realy freaking out because i spent so much of my hard earned money on this phone and i cannot just let it go like this, if there is anything that can be done to fix this let me know as soon as possible,I am very scared in the situation I am in right now, i just want to revert it to the way it was

Try flashing back to an older RUU via the SD card, and then restoring your previous rom backup.

Ok here is wht you do. Pick a ICS rom in development section, download it and transfer to sdcard.

Use titanium backup to backup your apps if you want so you can restore it when you have ICS.

Then reboot into CWM recovery, wipe data/fact reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. Then go to mounts amd storage and format /boot, /system ,/data and /cache. Then press back and select install zip from SDcard. Then select zip and then select the rom you chose. Select yes and it will flash. Then just reboot your phone :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mindstar1:
Hey guys, I have a question regarding your Samsun GNex charging cable. I woke up this morning after plugging my phone in last night to find that it was at 20% battery and the cable was not being recognized. After I jiggle the charger, the phone occasionally and fleetingly recognizes the cable but quickly loses the contact. When I tried to charge the phone with a different cable (my Kindle Fire charger), it worked without any issue.

Has anyone experienced similar failures of their cable in this manner? It worked the night before without any issue but now it is giving me problems. The cable is not visibly damaged, and I am careful with my devices/accessories so I do not believe that the problem is from my carelessness.

Finally, I got this phone from the Verizon store, would I take the cable to them or to Samsung to get it replaced? I hesitate to go to VZW because I don't want them to see that my phone is rooted (in case they ask to plug it in in front of them).

Thanks!

*******Update******************************

My original cable has not suddenly started working again. it now charges and transfers files which is good because my Chinese knockoff cable had a loose fit on my phone.

Same problem here. I bought my phone around Dec 21st and just 2 weeks ago the original cable refuses to charge the phone. It also didn't allow me to transfer files to my phone. I currently have 2 new cables. One cable is from www.monoprice.com and one is from www.cellphoneshop.net (China). Both of the "backup" cables work fine as well as one of them being 8 feet long. (makes it that much easier to plug in at the library sometimes.)

FYI - my original Droid Eris cable crapped out after about 4 months so it does not surprise me. What I would like is a good backup wallwart to use at my office. The phone charges so much faster with the ac adapter.
