I'm not trying to be a butt head. I'm still learning too. But if you already know the question has been asked (and answered) multiple times... Read the answers that are there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tgp1994:
I think you might be misunderstanding my OP... Yes, I am aware that the general form of the question has been asked, although I wanted to see how the community felt about the priorities I put forth in looking for a ROM (hence why I later suggested that a sticky stacking the ROMs against each other with their features and flops would be useful). I realize now that a lot of the ICS roms don't exactly meet what I was looking for anyways, and that I would have to take some relatively larger risks. Alas, I am going forth with trying one of the suggested ones.

And I believe asking in another thread would be considered hijacking by most forums? I see it's not explicitly mentioned in the rules, although I would expect people to keep questions to their own threads as a matter of courtesy.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jasonp0:
I sometimes forget people can't hear the tone my tone of voice when I type. I meant laying down the law in a good way.

To the OP. Perhaps you would like to work on your suggested project of comparing the roms and once then we can all add our input to your list?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
I didn't take it negatively. And your suggestion is spot on with what I was about to reply. Something my pastor says when people come to him with new ministry ideas, "that sounds great, I'm putting you in charge of that committee." Usually people want stuff done but want someone else to do it.

People don't generally make those threads because like this one they get redundant. The features are listed in the rom thread. Questions pertaining to the rom are asked in that thread. If someone wants to make a thread like you suggest that's fine, but what happens is someone comes in and instead of reading the rom thread they start asking questions in the new thread that have been answered already and the op constantly has to refer people to go read that thread.

The latest evervolv jellybean build has been working great for me. Wifi sometimes doesn't seem to toggle on and off as well as it should, but it works well enough.

Solution has been found for best ROM...its called TRIAL AND ERROR :cool:

The camera on any jb Rom is glitchy. Also the video playback on jb is pretty bad too.. viper Rom is my fav
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
The camera on aosp isn't as good as sense in my opinion anyway. I just never find myself using the sense launcher and therefore the sense widgets anyway, so I generally stick to aosp.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
What about speed? I love JB and ICS, but can't deal with lag, need working Wifi and Tethering, and no longer have tons of time to flash over and over. Got a newborn, in school full time and still working full time. :silly:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] antmiu2:
hi, im new in this forum ... (i have verizon droid razr 4.0.4)

ive rooted and installed safestrap 3.05 as the videos of 007 indicated

but im not sure which roms I can install.. Ex: i was looking into D-Wiz because it seems like the most popular around here

but since i will use my droid razr on a gsm(umts) network should i install the roms in xt910 or xt912?? and which version should i install D-wiz or D-wiz JBX??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gus194:
If its a Verizon Droid Razr then you should always install xt912 ROMs or you will brick your device. It doesn't matter if your on a GSM network btw.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antmiu2:
edit: now my razr wont trun on :( last thing i did was choose power off with safestrap! no lights no anything!!

edit2 i was able to get into safestrap with power + vol down / or up? i would like to know which would be the version of dwiz i can install?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gus194:
What Dwiz version did you install? Also I would recommend that you go here for a List of ROMs that you can Install

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/32-droid-razr-ics-roms-ics-kernel-xt912/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antmiu2:
i tried to install dwiz 1.0.4 and it said failed?

am i being limited to roms because of safestrap or having the verizon droid razr?? can you please recommend me a rom that i could flash?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gus194:
I can't really recommend any ROM since they're all great, but on that link that I gave you, you can install any of those ROMs

.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antmiu2:
even the jelly bean ones?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gus194:
No, you have to Be on tge Jelly Bean kernel for those ROMs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antmiu2:
would you recommend me to update to jb via

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35975914
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gus194:
I'm on JB, I love it. But the downside is that there's not as much ROMs on JB as on ICS. So idk, it's your choice. Oh and yea you can use that guide to update to JB
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antmiu2:
yea if it is stable enough i am willing to upgrade.. its a matter of quality not quantity ... what jb rom are you using?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gus194:
Right no im using Aviator 2.0.0
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antmiu2:
I am now on official Jelly Bean leak and rooted!

i would like to know how would i go about flashing custom roms now?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gus194:
what custom recovery do you have Safestrap or BMM?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] antmiu2:
i believe i have non right now // is there a tutorial for that or can i use the same apk i used for ics??

would you recommend safestrap or bmm?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mroien:
Every now and then my contacts will be lost and in setting > Google > Sync Contacts will say it synced but all my contacts are gone. Some times I can just re sync and it works but other times it doesn't. Is there a way for this to not happen?

Or sometimes it will say Sync Contacts has an error and will not sync to Google and I'll have different contacts on my phone and on Google contacts
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b11aze:
make sure when you save a new contact that the name is saved as a gmail contact and not on your phone. there are actually two contact "books" on you phone, the internal phone contacts and the gmail contacts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mroien:
Yeah that is not it. I always save new contacts under gmail not phone. I think its something to do with syncing with google
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Personally never had that issue. Occasionally sync goes down for a minute, then comes back up. If you are like me and keep sync off and changes roms, if you added a contact and didn't sync, you could miss a few that were added.

So i'd jut double check to be safe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
What ROM are you using? Stock, Stock rooted, TW-based, AOSP (4.1.2, 4.2.1, or 4.2.2)? I've ran all of these (and then some) and haven't run into anything like this, but if it's ROM-specific, knowing what you're running will help narrow it down.

Cheers!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaderboy:
same thing here

Sometimes my phone log just shows numbers and when I check my contact list it's empty.

Reboot phone and they are all back. My contacts are on Google but was wondering if there is a way to store them on the phone also.

Some way to download to a file on the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Go to the contacts app, press menu > export

Then select the account and it'll export to your scarf as a CSV file

There are also apps that let you import/export your contacts as an XML file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaderboy:
Thanks. Done. I don't think I will ever find all the little tweaks and tricks to this thing. Every time I use it I learn something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Hahaha, its actually a general Android feature, not just specific to the S3 ;)

Lol "scarf", sorry about that i meant "sdcard"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bob135421:
I am new here so I dont know if this is the right section. I have a galaxy note i717 that was originally for at&t but it is unlocked. I tried to install clockworkmod using odin 1.85 with a tutorial I found online. Now when I turn it on it says Firmware upgrade encountered a issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I tried going into download mode by pressing the volume down and power button and then pressing volume up at the screen but I just get the same message. When I turn it on I feel a little vibration though so I dont think it is hard bricked but I dont know too much about this so please help. What I did is this.

enabled usb debugging and then rebooted the phone into download mode

connected it to odin 1.85 and selected pda, opened cwm-i717.tar.md5 and disabled auto restart and the other thing that was important to disable

clicked start, it said complete so I unplugged it and took out the battery and rebooted

and then I got this screen

after I did some research I downloaded a official tar.md5 for it that was like 700mb or somthing and tried to flash that

i couldn't go into download mode but i just connected it at the error screen, it showed up in odin and I said start, again making sure the right things were disabled, it said it flashed it fine and it passed. When I rebooted I got the exact same message as before.

please help, I have tried everything I could think of and I have been searching the internet for several hours and still havn't found anything. This is my first ever post on any forum so I'm sorry if it is in the wrong place. Thanks

Hi Friends,

((I have not too much knowlege of android phone rooting or moding, but learn many things after joining this forum))

I am currently using SGS3 Mini, and I want to change it. So you guys please tell me should I go for Galaxy Nexus?? Battery Timing is same or not in both devices.

Please share your opinions because your opinions are highly valuable for me. Also please share what are the things that I can do in SGS3 Mini but not in Galaxy Nexus.

Sorry for Bad English ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
Gnex is faster, gnex has always the latest android (4.2.2 atm), it has a nice 720p HD display, it has a bigger battery, its just an good upgrade.

Once you go nexus, you wont go anywhere.

You'll become a nexus ***** like me :D

Buy it, but if you can afford it go for a Nexus 4 from google.play. cheap and an upgrade to the gnex.

Sent from my Nexus Prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniel_loft:
The only advantages that IMHO the S3 mini has over the Nexus are:

- smaller size (if that's important)

- microSD slot

Disadvantages:

- smaller size (sizewize, 4.5-5 inch is slowly becoming my sweet spot)

- poor community (I don't want to ofend anybody)

- poor support from Samsung (Nexus might even see official Android 5)

My advice for you is:

Make a list of things that matter for you: screen size, processing power, microSD slot, software updates (official or not), etc). Compare the two phones over at gsmarena.com or somewhere else and check which phone better suits you. Now check for reported problems. Sleep a night or two on all this info and in the morning place the order.

Personally I have two things against the Nexus: no microSD card slot and problems with the flash memory (search for problems with trimming). But, giving that I still have it, I can live with those.

Have a nice day!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akkay1:
Thanks for your valuable comments guys.

Fir me..

1- Sd card not matter 16 gb enough for me.

2- Screen size i want big screen

3- I want updated android

4- Camera result is fine

So finally today I purchased Galaxy Nexus. But I am bit nerveos about battert timing cz my sgs3 mini gave me one whole day. Now lets see how much time i'll give
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castrolgtx:
Hi all,

Please excuse the n00b questions, recent convert from iOS.. :) and apologies if this has been covered 1000 times, I could not find what I was looking for with the search function.

I currently own an HTC Desire (Bravo GSM) running 2.2.2 which I have set to Rooted/S-Off. I've been reading about Cyanogenmod and want to give 7.2 a go however I would like to have the option of being able to restore exactly what I've got currently i.e. retaining the Rooted/S-Off without having to go through Revolutionary again etc if at all possible.

There are plenty of guides detailing how to install Cyanogenmod which look straightforward, and I've seen mention of restoring to stock being easy, however there isn't much in the way of info regarding retaining my current Rooted/S-Off status and how to actually perform the restore. I've installed ClockworkMod/Nandroid and have copied the contents of the SD card to my PC as I understand the SD card is cleared during Cyanogenmod's install.

If anyone could give me an insight on whether my aims are possible and a quick guide to restoring (ie, which files I'd need to chuck back onto the SD card to restore), I'd be most grateful.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvsk69:
S-off, root, cwm recovery, SD card partition and the radio survive every time you install a new ROM. You don't/can't back them up. When you do a nandroid backup, it backs up all your data (apps, messages, etc).

Since you already took a nandroid backup, you're good to flash cyanogen mod. Just ensure you've partitioned your SD card correctly and full wipe is done before flashing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Dont forget, download gapps to flash after the rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castrolgtx:
Gentlemen, I can see why this forum is so highly regarded. Thank you. :)

Could anyone let me know if a guide exists to restore from the Nandroid backup?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
I would also recommend 4ext recovery, its way better than CWM recovery.

And just so u know if uv made a nandroid backup using CWM recovery, u wont be able to restore it with 4ext recovery (if that makes sense)

So first thing, google 4ext recovery, download and install the "4ext recovery updater app" then open the app and flash 4ext recovery. Once thats done ul have to backup all important files etc + nandroid backup and save to PC coz ul need to partition ur sdcard and that will wipe everything.

Theres a guide in my sig for partitioning with 4ext.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzrdisi:
After reading this some time ago, I wonder why everyone wants or needs S-Off.

https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/P1i8qzLfkTm
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
U need s-off because the desire internal memory is piss poor and with s-off u can change ur hboot to maximize data/user memory. Also u can use fastboot commands, flash radio etc etc.

Desire internal memory partition is 250/40/147 (system, cache,data) so if u flash a custom rom that is only 80mb then ur wasting 170mb in system partition so by using a custom hboot u can maximize ur data partition. Like if u use a rom like mildwild and the rom is 80mb then u can use a hboot that i made where the partition layout is 90/5/342 so ur not wasting any mb
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzrdisi:
That's a great point. And now I realize I posted my response in the completely wrong forum, somehow. Haha
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Haha i was wondering coz u posted a link for the htc One. The htc desire, u really need s-off but for newer devices u dont (not sure if u can even s-off them anyway) coz they all have enough memory and an unlocked bootloader is enough in my opinion.

[HTC One S] dashivang:
I never rooted or flashed or anything to my one s, yesterday I got the official jellybean update and so far I hate it

sure they made some things good, contact pictures aren't low quality any more but the downside out weighs the good stuff, I can't play any games cause it lags, the 3d effect on my home screens is gone

all in all I want to downgrade back to ics, the official htc ice, not custom ones. I'm willing to root or w/e it is asking is my phone is how it was yesterday before the update

please help, oh and I have the s4 processor

Edit: even after turning everything off I'm using up 800mb ram out of the 1gb
[HTC One S] NQNH:
AW: Downgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4

RAM management on Linux/Android is different as the windows one.

Full doesnt automatically means bad, but yes the usage is higher then on ICS.

Only way to revert to official ICS is downgrade your HBoot or getting S-OFF and installing the ICS Ruu.
[HTC One S] dashivang:
Can you link me to a guide as i have no clue what Hboot, S-OFF and Ruu are, ive been searching for hours and for the life of me i cant find anything

oh and by official ICS, you mean like the exact same thing i had before i downgraded to jellybean, no custom anything and my warranty still intact
[HTC One S] NQNH:
if s-off, hboot and ruu are unknown for you the procedure could be very risky for you..

maybe think about flashing a custom rom which is based on 4.0.4, like zenRom or Trickdroid 7, its much easier than downgrading etc.
[HTC One S] dashivang:
i dont want custom roms, im willing to risk using s-off, hboot and ruu, i want it to be stock and clean

isnt there a way to just get the OS and install it like on computers?
[HTC One S] NQNH:
no ;)

this is normally the ruu, doubleklick, and it makes everything on its own.

but the jb-ota updated the hboot, so the ics ruu isnt compatible anymore.

to let the ics ruu run again you have to downgrade your hboot.
