[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtcdroid:
I'm still new to all of this as I just rooted my phone a few nights ago.

First one I tried was MUIU. Loved the look of it, but didn't like how the apps had to be put on a screen somewhere.

I'm currently on warm 2.2 with lou's #5 kernel and I like most of it except for some weird things it does when you are on a call. It's tricky to go back to the actual call, you can't just click the phone on the rosie (I think thats what its called).

I'm going to try Redemption next and go from there. Maybe one day I will be satisfied with one rom
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
now stable 6.1 oc'd to 1.13 using #18 kernel, and GB theme. One smokin fast phone with great battery life.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbanicholas:
My favorite is Uber Desire Z(on latest cfs ziggy kernel), it is the fastest sense rom i have ever used and is prolly the fastest rom iv ever used as well.

Batt Life = amazing

Speed = blistering fast

Updated = often

cons:

no 720p(yet)

no gingerbread keyboard(idk if that will be fixed)

stock email app doesn't work

cyanogen 6.1. it is very stable and i prefer AOSP
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tron702:
My first ROM was cyanogen, and I loved it, and still love it, but wanted to try something else to see what the others offered, and I went with and still using AXURA 2.1, upgraded to 2.2 which sucked for me, it just did not treat me right, now i have AXURA 2.3, and I am loving it again, don't think i will try to many others unless something really catches my eye, but there is a good chance I could go back and fourth with cyanogen and axura 2.3. Posted by Captivate AXURA 2.3 with a working GPS because of the suggestion of cleaning the grounds inside the battery cover.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleverName:
Skyraider is the only one ive used so far bc it works so well i dont want to try anything else.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
I was pretty intrigued with cyanogen, but for some reason it would get really unstable for me. However right now I am using Redemptive Revolution which I think is absolutely amazing
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
I remember thinking about posting in here, but I don't think I actually did.

I bounced around for a while, then finally settled on Redemptive Revolution. I used that for a couple weeks, then switched to Senseless Revolution when that was released. Then I realized I don't really like Sense, so I'm on CyanogenMod 6.1 now.

Cyanogen 6.1 + invisiblek #21
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesssiii:
Started with Lou's Senseless rEVOlution (which is best sense or senseless imho). Tried ALOT of roms, all flavors, but kept going back to Lou... until I tried CyanogenMod 6.1 with invisiblek's #28 kernel. PERFECTION!!!

(Now trying the one in sig below and so far, even better!)

Incredible 2.3.1 Rooted S-Off

CyanogenMod 7.0 RCO inc #48

Incrediblek #34 Kernel

Baseband 2.15.00.11.19
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
I have ran every ROM that's made for the Incredible (well that's released) I always go back to skyRaider3.5 sense as it's rock solid. stock kernel. evo radio. 11.19 and I get great battery life. never had a FC. the only phone with the power controls themed the way they should be - stock, it looks perfect, as if HTC did it themselves. on my downtime I play around with Athena1.2 since it's the same dev, and am patiently waiting for sense 4.0 to hit as that ROM is going to be nuuuuts. the crackflashers are doing a tremendous job at providing us with up to date nightlies of CM7, which may I add is running f***ing smooth. and this is like pre pre beta. wait for a release candidate for CM7 gunna be great.

So for those who don't want to read why here is the dumbed down version of my post:

SkyRaider 3.5 Sense

SkyRaider Athena 2.1

Crackflashers CM7

IncROM

in that particular order.

redemptive, miui, Rrevolution, warm, all the Z roms, all fun to try out and if you're willing to part with a few things not working on diff ROMs give them a try

oh yea virtuous, gosh how could I forget this ROM.

if you're looking for a mostly stock experience with rooted goodness go to Virtuous, great dev. amazing ROM.

try to find devs that are updating and around and actually care what the people want. check around the devs ask just that. go tell them what you want in your ROM!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overground:
The reason we close what's referred to as "Best ROM Threads" is because the vast majority of the type end up a nasty flame fest. The reasons should be obvious. It's really a matter of opinion, and then you get the fanboys of certain devs chiming in, and well, you get it. My advice is try a few and make that choice yourself. It's easy to find the most popular ATM, because they stay on page 1 of the dev sub. That doesn't necessarily make it the best, however. Give some a shot and see what's best for you. To credit this thread, 8 pages and still civil. Seems DINC is growing up. :)

[Desire HD Accessories] thetmyster:
Ok, So I am planning on buying a Desire HD From here

And a case from here

With this screen protector

According to the main phone page;

HTC Desire HD

8GB MicroSD Card <-- What sort of quality is this, and will it record 720p video well?

Stereo Headset

Battery

Charger <- I'm assuming it's a Mains AC Charger.

Data Cable

Quick start guide

Will this do for protection of the phone etc?

And does anyone have any recommendations? (my overall budget, being £470, the base price of htc DHD 1month ago.)

And the rounded total of the above being £458. :cool:

Any little accessories that are mega awesome etc? :D
[Desire HD Accessories] hamdir:
720p recording is related to two issues

the formatting of the SD card, it should be formatted in 32k clusters, higher class speed cards are better in everything

720p is also related to multitasking you will need to kill tasks first
[Desire HD Accessories] thetmyster:
Ok, thanks!

I've also been reading that the battery is not that great, this does not worry me as I'm plugged in allot of the time.

Is there any news on bigger battery for the DHD?
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
The battery is OK given few cycles to be conditioned. Still you'll most probably need to charge it every night unless you use the phone very little. About the accessories - you might need to buy some better quality headphones, because the stock ones are bad (nothing

new for HTC). Apart from that, I don't think anything else is essential.
[Desire HD Accessories] thetmyster:
It can use a 3.5mm jack though right? :)
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
Yes. Well maybe you won't use it as a handsfree, because quality headphones generally don't have a microphone, but life is imperfect ;).
[Desire HD Accessories] rossysaurus:
the SD card is perfectly capable, but it needs to be formatted to 32k cluster sizes. someone said that formatting it in the phone using android does this for you, but i used "SD Formatter v2.0" to do mine.

the charger is a USB cable with a mains adaptor, but it is VERY short. i used a couple of 30cm USB extension leads to lengthen it a bit.

i had a silicone case like that and it was terrible. it flaps off on all the edges, so i bought the official HTC slip case (i think its coded the S550) and its lovely. really nice. but you do take the phone out of it to use it so it doesnt offer much protection from being dropped (unless its in the case).

i have an official HTC screen protector as well, which is horrible. leaves smudge marks and finger prints all over it. the cheap 99p one off ebay was better.
[Desire HD Accessories] kermez:
I also have official screen protector and it is true for the smudges but on the other hand it fits perfectly and I don't feel any difference betweern phone with SP or without which is the most important to me.
[Desire HD Accessories] thetmyster:
Thanks, I'll take my chances with a screen protector.

:) In my experience it always pays not to have a scratched screen! :P
[Desire HD Accessories] Lankius Maximus:
I'm a slave to the addons, I cant recommend the Otterbox commuter case enough although I fine the hard shell is a bit slippery. For sounds look at the Sony mw-600 bluetooth headset (far from perfect but certainly does the job).

I had a gel case from Amazon prior to the Otterbox and that was a great fit for only £3.95. That with a couple of official HTC screen protectors only came to £6 and really would hav bben fine. As I said, Im just a slave to the add ons.
[Nook Color General] thetoady:
Everything I've read about my nook color says it supports 802.11n. However, it doesn't see my 802.11n router at home (or the 802.11n side of my wndr3300), all it see is the 802.11g essid.

My only guess is that it doesn't do 5ghz N? that's not really doing N on the client side, is it?
[Nook Color General] ZeroSX:
Single-band N onry (2.4Ghz) sorry.

[Droid Incredible General] SteveG12543:
I've had the official 2.15 Swype for two days. Gotta say, I love it even more. But, nit picking time lol. When I go into a text field, the keyboard is capitalized, then a second later goes to lower case. But when you type, the first letter is capitalized. Just some odd behavior. Overall, the updates an improvement.

[Droid Incredible General] SynbiosVyse:
That's what it's supposed to do, if you don't like the feature, then disable auto-capitalization.
[Droid Incredible General] SteveG12543:
No, its the fact that it goes to lowercase when I haven't even touched it. Its still capitalizing, which is good, but its just weird that it drops to lower case. No other version that I've used did that.

This is the first thing I'm typing with swype and I prefer the gingerbread keyboard lol this isn't very easy at all. It's kinda awkward. Ok I'm done trying to get the feel of this.

Edit I can see how its useful but I'm so used to typing normally and I type very fast so its easier for me to use a keyboard.
[Droid Incredible General] bbuchho90:
Not much for updates from 2.10 from what I can tell....only noticeable difference is that names from your contact list don't trump any other words you want to spell. Kinda nice, since I was getting a little annoyed of that. Does this beta test eventually end and the beta keyboard expires and no longer works, or will beta users be able to use this keyboard for good?
[Droid Incredible General] RaptorMD:
I was in the beta way back when the DInc came out, but since then I have changed email addresses and can no longer get back in. I put in for the next round of invites.

Is there a specific build for the DInc (returning my Droid X on Monday and getting the DInc again) and I have the .apk from the DX but didn't want to install if it wasn't any good.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
If you are considering a pre-order, I would read this first: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...e-return-policy-are-arousing-suspicion-anger/

I am a web systems admin, and deal with security from an Operations standpoint. With that in mind, I have been watching this over and I am VERY wary of this company. Imo, I would avoid the pre-order and wait until release.

A few things are red flags to me:

- They mentioned that the FCC request is well hidden. Why would they do that? Why the mystery?

- There are ZERO videos of this thing, other than the original prototype from months ago.

- The pics we've seen seem to be photoshopped. Granted, other companies do this but where are the real pics?

- Why hasn't a newer prototype been given to Engadget yet, for review? Again, what are they hiding?

- I have heard that, with the initial pre-order screen, there was no SSL and your SSN was required. Why in the WORLD would they need my SSN?

- $50 shipping. Huh????

- This is not Apple or MS, this is a start-up company. There's no history here.

- I heard that your credit card is being charged, with the pre-order. That is a major red flag. A legit company would put a hold on your CC, but not actually charge you until it is shipped. A recent example of this is what happened with the Archos 101 pre-orders from J&R and Tigerdirect.

I'm not going to go as far as to say that this is a scam, but it sounds very suspicious to me. Again, my 2 cents on the matter. It's a shame because I was considering this device, myself.
[G Tablet General] gojimi:
I agree completely! I too was considering this device as a preorder option... but I think I can wait now.... I kinda feel like they are just trying to raise the money necessary to START full production.... which is a big NO NO in my book!

Roebeet,

Did you see the Liliputing article from about a hour ago:

http://liliputing.com/2010/12/notion-ink-adam-launch-runs-into-some-roadbumps.html
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Well said Roe. I think everyone was considering pre-ordering this thing, but I was expecting a couple videos and plenty of pictures. We got none of that. Therefore, no dice. The mickey mouse ordering system w/ tons of problems being reported and so many questions left unanswered made it easy for me to decide not to preorder one. Anyone who preorders one of these is naive and dumb if you ask me.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
This is the BIGGEST warning to me, and I pointed it out in another thread as soon as I saw that. To me, this means that they have no money left, and need the pre-order payments right now to fund manufacturing and the company...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm reading up on their replies, right now - a lot of it sounds like bull, to me. Yes, it's also possible that this is growing pains for a start-up, but the bottom line is that I just don't trust this enough to give them my money, yet.

- The shipping rates. They could have raised the price $25, and then dropped the shipping to $25. My feeling on this is that shipping is not refundable - that means that if you return the item they keep the shipping and make some money off you. This is same thing that eBay sellers do, and it's not a good way for me to trust them. The device is only a few pounds, it's not a heavy device and $50 is excessive.

- No Mastercard payments. They had more than 6 months to fix this, it's Internet commerce 101, as well as SSL. Not having these scares the carp out of me, as a consumer. I have no faith that my credit card info is safe with them, and that is not a good thing.

- No pics of the device. That takes about 10 minutes to fix. Take pics, upload to blog, done. Same with a video -- why the delay? Again, very suspicious here.

The "mystery" factor works for a company like Apple, as they are an established company who has a history. This company is a start-up - as far as we know, this device doesn't exist and the CEO is about to take all your money and disappear.
[G Tablet General] switt:
Here's NI's reply:

http://notionink.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/introspection/

I'm with you. I was on board to pick one up, in addition to my Gtab. I had my CC out and even stayed up waiting for that first 3am preorder. Then details started leaking out and I came to my senses. You are assuming a company will come through because we're used to dealing with large corporations. These assumptions are wrong in this case since this is an uproven company, with unproven people, in another country (legality), with a product that they refuse to show.

My guess is that this is a company run by young enthusiastic engineers getting railroaded hard by the people financing them. However, I'm not going to put my money out their first. The last straw was their sneaky method of jacking the price of the top version, the one I wanted, by 20%. First they increased the base price $50 and then changed free shipping to $50, ending up with a $500 to $600 price.
[G Tablet General] moli13:
I hear you Roebeet. I was one of the so called family and got the link and it was a disaster from the onset. Thank God I couldn't get to the purchase page because the server kept crashing and the 12pm PST thing.

What saved me from ordering the adam is that I had to go to work. I was already running late. When I got off work it said they were sold out. WTF! How can something that is not in production be sold out?? If it does exist, I'll wait until it is in a real store.

I am now confident it is still vaporware. I feel for those that bought it without actually seeing a demo video or real pictures. I just hope they didn't get scammed.
[G Tablet General] Lnin0:
Yeah, liliputing echoed my thoughts. I really don't think NotionInk is being deceitful. For those that follow the blog you know they genuinely care about making a great device and I have little doubt Adam exist.

In my mind there is no question the device will be great. The real problem isn't about developing a great device, its about introducing, manufacturing, distributing and supporting your first ever product. That in itself is a huge undertaking if you just planned to sell to one region let alone the world.

I wish them the best of luck and hope this thing does take off. I kind of just wish for their sake they would have started off a little less ambitious.

[My guess is some models 'sold out' because pre-sales numbers where tied to their initial parts inventory and the number of tablets they can produce in a month. That imo is a good thing.]
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Too much money to commit for a product with nothing but vapor to show so far. The company appears to be very naive or this is a sham. Hope for the former, none the less.

I am happy with the G and the way I use the device, the viewing angles are fine and the device has 8gb more space and not sourced from India with a VERY dubious January ship date. Gtablet is $150 more for the good display

Some stuff going on does not add up, so if naive or something else, neither is good.

This launch could make the Gtablet seem iPad-like, in comparison ;)
[G Tablet General] marianosf:
I was about to order mine last night but I couldn't pull the trigger. Too many red flags. The $50 shipping and asking for SSN was what finally made me come to my senses. If this tablet is really awesome why they didn't send demos to any tech blogs ?

For now I'm very happy with my G-Tablet. Thank you roebeet for your hard work.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
You know, I kind of think that they might actually have a product and they might have had enough mfged already for the pre-order guys, but ran out of money doing those and hence need to charge new orders immediately.

I thought that they had pictures of an actual unit, that red one in one of the Nov/maybe early Dec blog posts? Still kind of disconcerting that they have no videos and no more better pix of the thing...

Well, since I decided to skip this one anyways since I kept the gTab, I can afford to wait and see what happens, hope that they ship something close to what they claim, and then see if they survive to do a Tegra 3 tablet, which IF they do better in pricing and get me a 7" form factor, I MIGHT spring for...

Maybe just wishful thinking but I guess we'll see when they start shipping, after all remember open pandora? I think they finally started shipping more than prototype versions earlier this year, when they were SUPPOSED to have started shipping over 2y ago! OP is kind of a joke now at the price it's listed at, and what it is...

Took my WPDN back to BBB today. They didn't even open the box, just printed out a form for me to sign and handed over the cash and a receipt showing my return.

After that I wandered over the B&N almost next store and took a look at the Nook Color... was SORELY tempted to just buy one, but decided to wait and see a bit. Nice 7" form factor, nice screen, light(!), and fairly speedy for only being a8 @ 800MHz and 2.1! Woman at the counter claims that they're planning OS upgrades and flash support when I asked her about it. Browser still had problems with the many more button on /. then again so did the WPDN & GT. On the gTab it loads them almost as quickly as my nb... still thinking about NC...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
As much as I'd like to think they are just being naive and made some mistakes in the SSL / Mastercard / SSN area, I don't believe that's the case. And for one reason only - no photos and no videos of the product since earlier this year. That is very suspicious.

This is not rocket science - all they need to do is upload a few real photos and a quick video of the device in someone's hands, to allay fears. It's been 24 hours now and that has not happened (yet). If they stop being so darn mysterious and show us that there's really a product out there, then I won't be so cautious.

But, I still wouldn't pre-order it if they charge me before shipping. This is like meeting a stranger on the street, giving them $450 on the honor system that they will come back in 2 months to your house to give you your product. At least we have Visa protection but you might still have a deductible.
[G Tablet General] LeftysRule22:
Not disagreeing with anyone here, but the whole SSN thing was the credit card companies verifying your identity. That has nothing to do with notion ink, i order internationally all the time and whenever you do so the banks require verification a lot of the time. Also, it doesn't ask for your entire SSN, just the last 4 digits.

I ordered one, nervously. We'll see what happens.
