Not trying to advertise or anything here (okay maybe :p), but in case you haven't looked at the CM9 thread in awhile, everything works on the camera except video (which used to work, which is strange), and a separate app can be used to take it if needed.

There's also a 2.3 based sense ROM around here somewhere ("Gingersense" I think), but I don't remember if everything works on it..

I think this is most of them. which one where you referring to?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfinockio:
So what doesn't work, then? FM radio? Watching videos on Youtube?

Also - none of those "Gingersense" ROMs were worth much, as Bluetooth and other functionality would either crash the phone or not work at all. Never a true working phone option...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinSuk:
:eek:

Not sure now... I think I tried at least one awhile ago.. didn't keep it for very long though

Everything not working is listed in the thread. Pretty much only one major thing remains - videos use a software decoder instead of hardware, and if videos are too big (say, bigger then the screen's resolution) they play slow. So HQ on YouTube is mostly unwatchable, but LQ plays fine

There's also a bug/memory leak in the decoder, and if it goes too long the system will run out of memory & reboot (this bug is fixed in Jellybean/CM10 though)

FM radio works with Spirit FM ;)

I should note that battery life probably won't be as good though (kind of expected with all the new stuff I think)

You can always try it and revert back if you don't like it :p
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfinockio:
I read through the thread - it sounds more like a testing ROM than an everyday ROM still, at least for how I would use it.

I might take the leap to CM7.2 again though, and hope I can manage the battery better.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZorAxe:
Ok so I really need to put a new ROM on now cause my phones internal storage is so low I can't even open my Gallery anymore. I've been looking at CM7 or CM9 but there's so many different version on each, how do I know which is the most stable for everyday use?
[General Questions and Answers] SaneQ:
Ok, so i was planning on buying a Note 10.1 until i heard of the new chip which has 1.7GHZ and 1080p 60fps. I want to ask you guys that do you think that Note 2 will have this or has Samsung got any other tablets coming out soon which could have this, because if i get the Note 10.1 now and Note 2 will come with the new chip by the end of the year, then i'd be quite pissed.

Ok, Some people new to the XDA forums hate being called n00bs. But if your post count is less then 100 posts... You're a n00b.

It's ok. We love you ;)

But riddle me this... Why do you want to root your phone or install a custom rom? Most roms posted to the developer section are unstable and not ready enough for normal phone users to use. Most roms in there are for advanced users. And I really don't think everyone in the sgs4g forum are advanced. (I know who you are if you're advanced, or I might not if you don't post at all...). You could brick your phone, you could make your phone un-returnable. You WILL void your warranty.

A lot of n00bs have problems installing roms or rooting their phones, but why do it in the first place?

Are you doing it to install a root required application?

Are you doing it to update your rom to a newer version?

Not getting the support you expected from t-mo/samsung? Do you really think we are going to continue to support you for the next 5+ years? (cause I know I wont :D )

Vote and post here. I really want to understand not just what you want, but why!?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
For fun muahahah...(I can still be counted as a n00b, rite? :D)

Heh, jk, me, just because I love all WIP of team acid, kickass/fah-q and unknown hehe...and I am trying to brick my phone to see just how strong it is lol muahahaha...(and only have root and CMW or TWRP that I can brick it hehe)

P/s: love all of u devs :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
No, You are def not a n00b. Sorry... NEXT!

Oh yea :cool: You know I love releasing WIP and watching n00bs squirm in their mom's computer chair... :p

There are two ways to brick the phone...

create a blank file that is any size smaller then 256k... heimdall it to the sbl partition. BAM! YOU ARE HARD BRICKED

raise your phone way up over your head, and throw your phone on the ground as hard as you can (TOUCH DOWN!!!)

Otherwise, you can still get into download mode, and you are just soft-bricked. This phone is amazing that way ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shbear:
Soo if this is my first post what that mqkes me ?!!

Anyway ...

I rooted my phone so i can use an app (yes one app is enough reason for me )

And befor anyone asks ... I just bought the XDA app to support this group of helpfull and nice people .

And i will NEVER use a rom till atleast i buy a new phone and turn this one into experiment field xD
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
I personally screwed up my very first T-Mobile G1. :) :) The first time I flashed a from I was able to get the HTC Hero Rom... Somewhere along the line I became unsatisfied (the same night) and tried to force sd-ext, which was said to be possible using adb... Lack of sleep turned my phone into a paper weight. Anyway, one of my biggest fascinations was being able to get around carrier and manufacturer rules: expanding limited storage, removing apps considered system by force... But once you pop, you just can't stop... ;) Now I'm happy to have a nearly complete OS people from T-Mobile say the phone can't handle. For now having the smoothest and most responsive phone I could have on the latest OS does it for me. I don't want jelly bean. I'm happy to have what I got.

I also built my first computer when I was 13 and I haven't yet stopped being fascinated by technology.

Oh and as for warranty voided, a bricked phone is the same as one dropped in the pool, ran over by your truck and eaten by your dog... Easily replaced if you say it is stolen. I think my deductible is like $140, not terribly bad for the clear cut instructions. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
Hey Mr Bryan (yeah Mr Bryan and I'm Mr Carlos lol) will you call a noob for somebody who open 1000 threads just for only one question, somebody who ask and persist for an ETA and for somebody who gives bad opinions of a rom without even testing?

Edit ohh btw will you call a noob for somebody who doesn't read the instruction and rules and start crying because he/she screw his/her phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sil3nt Pr0digy:
Well whether or not you want to call me a n00b is up to you. But as for the question...

I needed root to run FB's unlocker, so I could unlock the phone from T-Mo and move it to my current provider. Requires root, and custom ROMs are always nice to have, as well as the improved performance, battery life, overall change in aesthetics, and the ability to use ICS on the SGS4G, with all the yummy features that it includes, unlocking the full potential of the device, and overall as a hobby.

So what should I check as my answer for the poll if I'm a noob?

First off this Blaze is not mine....I have way better phones I'm just broke and have no wifi...don't even get me started on the tethering...anyway when I rooted my Vibrant some years back I thought I needed root to unlock it...then when I rooted it I started learning about $@&! and completely forgot about unlocking it...performance. Im still learning...soft brick on Odin cause I'm impatient and stuff. Most people I see using phones barely know how to turn them on and don't use them for much more than facebook...giving them a flashed overclocked joint is like given a gun to 2 year old..sorry for the rant..long story short I root cause if I want ICS or JB on my $&$@ I'm gonna get it and if it ain't 1.4 GHz minimum I don't want it. Stay motivated

No butt hurting here... I don't mind being called one. Its a learning process. We were all once one unless you created the first android. :sly:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
I think for the most part it was because I knew the phone would not get further support from t-mo or Samsung. And no I don't expect 5+ yrs of support. I'll be happy with what I get till I can upgrade phones.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] foltz61:
My point was that I still consider myself a noob. Things change and we all go back to being a noob sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] esloudan:
Reasons for it r customizations, custom roms, more features, more apps, faster phone, better battery life, much less bloatwear, and better support. With that said I also like I can dual boot my phone with different roms, and find the ones I like better and what I want more of. I've never had issues with getting help with xda, but when I call my provider for help its easier to be shot in the head. I don't expect help on demand from xda, I am very graceful for their help and hard work. I have 3 android devices and all run custom roms and recovery. One even has a custom bootloader which works fine and gets better with every update. I don't see a reason not to try it other than some people not able to follow directions. Never had a issue that couldn't be fixed. My biggest problem was upgrade/downgrade of bootloader and firmware. I was worried over flashing cause some had the same version but would be different in size. Found out its the individual who compresses it different from another. Other than that, xda has made me a huge fan of android. My last reason is my music and movies. Its great to be able to just drag and drop songs I want and delete without having to sync nearly 12 gigs of data. When I had iPhone to change a couple of songs would take hours to sync all the data. With android I can swap and only take the time to transfer what I change.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
^ So what your saying is... its harder, better, faster, stronger.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] esloudan:
In sort, ur right on the money.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Colear_Bear:
For me it was after the gb update via kies. After i did that this phone was very buggy and allot of the things such as mms and recent calls would constantly force close no matter how many times I did a factory reset. So that led to some internet research that led me to xda to root and flash custom roms. Since then i have never had an issue or anything to complain about with this phone.

Also Just kinda fun doing something different with the rom to spice things up and make it seem like a whole new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] candler33w:
I have always had a habit of tinkering with things. I am never quite satisfied with anything. I have a device and I usually end up throwing a custom from on it after about a week. I have AOKP on my phone and my tablet for now but I'm sure I will be moving on eventually. I just wish that I had more time to devote towards learning the ins and outs of development so I could give back instead of just taking what others have done. To bad working 12 hour days doesn't give me much time to myself to study up and learn more

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sutexibunsu:
I think I qualify as a n00b...

The main reasons why I got involved installing ROMs was to get rid of craplets and to play around with the latest versions of the OS. It's been good practice, too. Since mucking around with my phones, I've been able to get rid of the craplets on my wife's phone, and also helped a coworker install right-to-left language support on his otherwise stock GB phone.

It's funny, though. I have a Nexus 7, and I haven't had any desire to root it or install another ROM on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Craplets?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sig9mm:
I did it for the fact I cannot leave anything alone. I used to use the iPhone and unlocked/jail broke and repaired many of them until I was bored. I then switched over to android and haven't looked back. I love then customization of android and I love the different feel of custom Roms. I really got playing with the custom Roms after the stock GB update causing fc and random reboots.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
I may be a senior member here or have many posts and know my way on how to flash, un-brick, and help others but there are many others that know a lot more than I do. I respect and so in comparison to them I will always feel noob.

Why I got into this troublesome hobby? Well, a friend got me into. This is my first smartphone, he noticed my phone was newer but he had this CM ROM on his which had all these features my stock phone didn't. So I searched for hacks and found this forum and then i read about custom, recoveries, and was confused but due to the customizations and bloatware removal but also for the looks and to be different than my other known people that had the same phone. That's my story. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] salmanj1:
Well to be very honest, I don't flash a ROM till it's in it's 2nd build. So far I've used CM9, AOKP, CNA2.0 and Galaxy Beam. All of these ROMS have been pretty functional as far as I'm concerned. I was on stock gingerbread for quite a while before you guys came along and gave me ice cream sandwich goodness.. Dooming me to a life of jumping between great rom after great rom. So Devs, screw you guys! You've ruined me!!

On the bright side though, I have ICS sooo :highfive:

When I first got my phone, I "soft rooted" it for backups and to get rid of the FOTA files so I could recover the space for apps. For probably the first year, I would root over adb every time I needed it.

I didn't flash a custom ROM until the GB ones were several months old. The driving reason behind that was the poor performance of stock. I figured custom couldn't possibly freeze or reboot more often.

rooting

I started to root my phones and put custom roms after constantly reading things about cm, and other roms and being curious as to what they were all about. i also had a good friend of mine who showed me what i could do with a rooted phone vs a stock phone. after the first time i was hooked and i really dont even use a non rooted phone anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DragnzKlaw:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cmhjr:
I am a Noob on here but I like to tinker, I first did on my G1 to use it to its full potential and to block ads. That experience hooked me to the advantage of rooting.

On this phone I rooted to install AdFree and Titanium. I eventually added a custom Rom for the benefit of longer battery life and to tweak the to my taste. Currently on FB Valhalla Black with some apps put back in.

When I have had problems and when I could not figure out or find the solution to the problem here I would ask. I have had a few soft bricks but able to recover from all of them.

I appreciate all the work the devs do for our phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
My own reasons for rooting and installing the custom ROMs here are similar to those of others - I couldn't believe how buggy the GB update was, and I wanted to get rid of all the Tmo bloatware on the phone. The ROMs here, even if they have their own problems sometimes, are still better than the stock GB. Plus, I have an interest in seeing the developers here go way beyond the "technical limitations" of our device.
