Go with Virtuous Sense 2. Only 2.1 but it's the most stable sense ROM around. I've tried all the sense 3/3.5 and while they can be made to work ok with supercharge and other mods, they still aren't as stable as VS2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkira13:
If you want REAL speed and stability you should go for Cyanogen or MIUI, they worked perfect for me. I am trying to find a good Sense based ROM now, but it seems that Virtuous Sense is the most stable, still had some annoying issues with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunoma:
I've been in the same position as yourself but I've recently found solace in Android Revolution HD, which is by far the smoothest, fastest and best Sense 3.5 ROM! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
I agree

I agree (+1), the only time my Virtuous Sense 2.0 goes down is when I get bored and want to try something else. Uptimes of more that 15 days are common for me, where Sense 3.X roms rarley get a week without a reboot.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sutitan:
Hey guys,

Its been a while since ive messed with my defy. Im looking to change my rom, but all this kernel talk has got me a bit confused. Here is my current setup.

My Defy Currently:

Android: 2.3.4

Rom: MS2Ginger2.0

Kernel: 2.6.32.9-g15cc991 w21529@zkr30lnxdroid12 #1

All im trying to do is put another rom at my phone. Currently, im thinking of trying MIUI. Anyways, ive been reading that they only support froyo or certain gb kernels (usually below 2.3.6 i believe).

At the moment, im looking at installing MIUI pickachu edition. Can I just boot into CWM (2ndint), and run the zip of my SD?

Any input is appreciated. Thansk
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankymoo:
Absolutely! I've been flashing all kinds of stuff onto my defy and have had no problems at all, any rumours you have heard or read are just that... RUMOURS! Just go ahead and flash the rom, chances are it'll work, and if it doesn't you should have a backup of your previous one anyway! ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sutitan:
Im just a bit reluctant to flash alot because I remember bricking my defy every other day when it was first released. It would take hours to try get it back running (my pc is really old and slow). ive been putting up with MS2ginger2.0 for a while, but the sluggishness and the random reboots have been getting to me.

I guess ill try it when I get home.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankymoo:
ah, i feel for ya man. but I'm afraid its the only way you can fix this.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt24:
?? How can you say that... You didn't take the time to ask him if he's a Defy (green or red lens) owner, because I'm sure he isn't a Defy+ one and you told him : don't worry there is no problem of compatibility, all you heard or read is only remours !!!... :confused:

So, if he brick his phone hope you'll donate to him to replace his old computer to be able to flash a new SBF... But for sure I'll not donate to you...:mad:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankymoo:
I can say that because through extensive testing that in total wasted a week of my life, I KNOW that any defy can have that Tom. Plus, its almost impossible to brick an android phone... so please stop trolling when in fact, there is nothing wrong with what I said
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
If you flash a bld 7 rom on a green lense defy, you can't use your camera anymore. It is also wise to not flash a rom from witch you can't downgrade from. My defy for instants had the bug where your in-call speaker dies. If I had flashed a wrong rom they would have noticed it as it returned with another sbf than I had send it with. So if they got an error flashing this, I wouldn't have got my warranty.

Just saying.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdt24:
You are right, it's almost impossible to hard brick a Defy. But, because of its locked bootloader it's very easy to have a soft brick or be blocked on a version without possibility to downgrade. So, i'm not trolling but you cannot affirm that these kinds of problem are only "RUMOURS".
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Hey sutitan,

Well, I would tell you to flash froyo full sbf first, but I haven't tried MIUI myself so i don't know.

But I was myself a veteran of MS2Ginger 2.1 and 3.0 when I tried to return to CM7 on a 4.5.1-109 kernel and, well, it didn't work. (4.5.1-109 is a 2.3.4 kernel)

I would suggest that you play it safe and flash froyo fixed or froyo full and then proceed from there.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

...and as for you, sir, I have been through 4 soft bricks, and have been testing ever since I got my defy. I am not going to list all the roms I have used as proof.

It would be best for our friend to play it safe and not just assume that the stuff experienced developers tell us are just "RUMOURS".
[Fascinate General] Lee_Et81:
This problem started with my phone a couple weeks ago. I seem to have problems charging my phone. I cannot charge my phone while it's off. If I plug it into a power source via the cable it turns itself on.

Sometimes it will not charge. It usually happens if I use the phone while it's plugged into something while charging. In the status bar it indicates it is not charging. To make get it to charge the battery again I have to take out the battery and restart the phone. Sometimes I have to do this a few times before it starts charging again.

I've got my phone rooted with CWM and i'm running CM7

[Fascinate General] k_nivesout:
What radio do you have now? From what I've read you should be fine on ICS with EC09, or the previous one which I can't recall the name of (or EH03 obviously). Earlier ones might work too, I don't know, but I think those three most recent are recommended. Sorry I can't help with a link or anything, I've just got the EC09 one at the moment.

Yeah if you're already on EH03 than I wouldn't worry about the radio. If you get the itch to try out ICS, check out droidstyle's guide, it has everything to get you up and running. I recommend AOKP or teamhacksung's ICS (on rootzwiki).

[Captivate Android Development] vibranturk:
Needs: 7zip and Notepad++ (install these to pc)

Porting: (We are porting ROM.zip)

Rom Source: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665

Note: You can only port ıcs roms with this method...And this is only for personal using...

1-Dont extract Rom.zip anytime. Only open it with 7zip

2-Download attached keylayout file and extract it. Then delete keylayout folder (\system\usr\keylayout) on Rom.zip and replace new one you extracted...

3-Extract build.prop (\system\) and updater-script(\META-INF\com\google\android\) on Rom.zip

4-Right click extracted build.prop and click edit with notepad++

"ro.product.model=GT-I9000

ro.product.name=GT-I9000

ro.product.device=GT-I9000"

change these lines GT-I9000 to SGH-I897 then save.

5-Right click extracted updater-script and click edit with notepad++

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxysmtd" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxysmtd" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9000" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9000M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9000M" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9000T" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9000T");

Delete these lines on top and save.

6-Replace your edited build.prop and updater-script on Rom.zip

7-Replace your favorite modem.bin on Rom.zip

8-Find an Cappy ICS kernel and extract it... Replace boot.img on Rom.zip and delete modules folder (\system\lib\modules\) on Rom.zip and replace with extracted kernel one...

9-Removing front face camera files...

-Delete FaceLock.apk from (\system\apk\)

-Delete pittpatt folder from (\system\vendor\)

-Delete libfilterpack_facedetect.so from (\system\lib\)

-Delete libfacelock_jni.so from (\system\lib\)

10- Deleting unnecessary videos...

-Delete video folder(\system\media\)

11-Changing default lang to english if needs...

ro.product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=US

Find these lines on build.prop and change (if different) the bold en and US or if you want to change your lang you can write our lang... for example ı want to change turkish and ı must change tr TR...

12- Change DPI to 240 if needs

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

find this line in build.prop and if different then 240, make it 240 for market compatibility...

Finally flash your ported ICS and enjoy it...

1-you can directly compile from rom source with using a linux machine...

2-you can port from directly rom( needs fix RIL,GPS,installation...etc)
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
umm... how is this different from porting any other rom from i9000? re-oriented kernel & homebutton fix (keylayout). build.prop & install script edit. DONE

and note: this is how to build a "zip rom". *some devs argue if this is even development as it is breaking copyright, unless built from source. but widely found on xda, and not a problem.
[Captivate Android Development] asasione:
Stated for personal use, and last I checked its an open forum its not as if the ROMS are being sold

What are you running? Stock or custom rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brg7562:
On stock 2.3.6 I had no issues with wifi dropping, but when I switched to a several custom ROMs, wifi would connect and disconnect every minute or so. I figured it wasn't my router, because it worked perfectly prior to flashing a custom ROM. It was driving me crazy, and I read through every post I could find and finally found a solution that worked for me. I still don't know why it works, but it does.

I had my router configured to assign static IP addresses for each device based on MAC address. The DHCP reservation expiration was always set to Never for each device. As I said, this worked fine for stock 2.3.6 (and also for Froyo previously). When I flashed either Zeus or Numas, the wifi drop and connect loop would start immediately. I changed the DHCP reservation expiration to something other than Never and to my surprise, wifi stayed connected.

So if your router is filtering by MAC address OR if you are not using a static IP connection on your phone's network settings, it might be worth a try, worked for me. I am currently running Zeus 5.2 and wifi is staying connected.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Wifi dropping due to custom rom flashing is not due to custom rom.

It is due to improper wiping.

A thoroughly clean wipe to make sure there is no residue of previous ROM will solve your wifi issues.

lol..I think I've posted about this just about in every thread at one point or another.

Look around :)

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE REPLYING. IF YOU DON'T I'LL JUST REPORT YOU FOR SPAM.

just spent an hour trying to find a way to do this and no such luck. i've read that clockworkmod recovery, when doing a factory wipe does not wipe the /sdcard but i still would like to be able to make a backup.

I've tried simply doing a copy/paste but windows refuses to even attempt it. even trying to do one folder at a time gives me issues. i've resorted to using airdroid for all my file transferring needs.

But using airdroid, even trying to do a backup, it eventually goes so slow that it fails. I have 4Gb of data i want to backup, and eventually it just stops transferring. i could do it one file at a time but honestly i don't feel like spending hours.

so does anyone know of any program, or possible easy way, that won't take days, to backup the /sdcard
