[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ133169:
I hope this is in the right section. But with many roms and so many versions, there isnt a pros and cons rom sheet out there. It would be nice to know what rom is better at this and what rom gives you that. It also would be nice if people could start uploading short video tours of each rom. That way everyone can get a brief look at the appearence and menus each different rom has, to help us decide which we like.

Check out my ROMS main page. I have a 12 min video right on the home page.

I am sorry about that. I may have removed it by accident. I also have another site www.phoenix-hq.com The video is definitely on that site.

I apologize, it is there. I just had a dumb moment :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
That can be a huge undertaking for most devs, not only managing the development of the ROM's, but fielding questions and such. While it's a cool idea, it's not too practical. The ROM's at XDA can change SO quickly, it would be impossible to keep up with attempting to video it. Some of the ROM threads you'll see, don't even have screen shots.

I think the main reason is, most of the ROM's are going to be BASICALLY the same, in terms of operation. Past that; it's going to be functionality, how the dev cooks the ROM, and what he/she puts in it. In the end, it's all visual. Themes, apps, wallpapers, and so on. I could send you videos of the past 10 ROM's I've flashed, and I can tell you, you would be very hard pressed to tell me which ROM is which, just because of how I mod it to suit my needs.

My suggestion is to read the threads, find a dev that is present in the forum, find a thread that is supportive and will allow you to find the answers you need. Then try it. From my experience, each Captivate is a little bit different, and yours my respond a little differently than mine will. You just need to put some time and work into figuring out which one will work for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
That's not to say that there aren't some ROMs that are wildly different than others. I've certainly flashed a couple ROMs that blew me away with what they had, but that is indeed rare.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
Yeah, that is true.

Adam has a REALLY good thing going with Phoenix. His functionality of the GPS is hands down the best I've seen. The theming is great, but for me, he's good people, the team has alot of pride in the project and it shows in the thread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
Yes and actually the only 2 roms I've ever used that had good GPS were Phoenix and Assonance/Serendity. I can't tell you which is better, I just know that both have working GPS :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1l3nt:
the best way to know is to try them
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aintwaven:
Cezar's Continuum is the best I have seen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
You gotta try each rom out and see which one suits best for you. I'm sure you can try out roms for 30 minutes to an hour when devs have worked on for hours and hours releasing their roms. At least that's how I like to think.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatcat31:
It comes down to how you customize it. all the rims are great, but eventually it boils down to the kernel, modem, scripts, tweaks, and other things you add in yourself. My gps is accurate to FEET in sacramento, and locks in five seconds or less thanks to da_g and his fix. The telus modem helps a ton too. So in the end we all arrive at different roms. Doing video tours would be terrible cause not all roms are the same in the end
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok guys we all know this is not the place for this lol. The best way to find the pros and cons of the roms are 2 things. 1. read the thread (I know who whats to have to read for what they are looking for lol j/k) 2. Try it your self and read at least the first page:D

Hi,

Did anyone here managed to play HD videos of 1080p or 720p format? I only managed to play 360p on my phone.
[Legend General] zabaknilesh:
Not possible..Im mean they will play in Rockplayer 1.5.5 ARm6...but will lag sufficiently and not allow you to enjoy movie smoothly...

I think about 620 p should be fine in Rockplayer..or yxplayer...not above that..you will have to resize them...
[Legend General] rshe247:
Even 720p is quite laggy with rock player. Processor is just not fast enough
[Legend General] bullchicken:
Why would you want to when the screen doesn't have the resolution to show any difference?
[Legend General] yingchai:
@bullchicken: it's just that my friends had gave me lots of 1080p HD MVs but I couldn't played it. He is able to play all HD videos in his Samsung Galaxy though. :( Maybe you're right due to legend processor limitation but i'm wondering if there is any customized/tweaked ROM which able to support it.
[Vibrant General] ThC23:
So I decided to start this tread for all of us that are addicted to flashing Roms thanks to Eugene, Master, Heathens, and specially Team Whiskey.

I got my first taste of a Froyo Rom back in October and I've been hooked like a crack addict! Lol!

Although I've never tried crack I can only image how they feel!

I check in with my XDA app more than I do my girlfriend, waiting and hoping for that new Rom to flash just to get that fresh Rom high! Lol!

Any themes that come up I flash just because I have a need to flash something.

Team Whiskey has the best stuff so anything new from them I just gotta have. I can only imagine what I'm going to do when they have Gingerbread for my phone!

They say the first steps to recovery is to admit you have a problem and to identify the source!

My name is Victor and I'm a flash -aholic thanks to my Vibrant and all the developers at XDA.

So the rest of you guys just like me admit your addiction so you can feel better and we can all work on our problem together!
[Vibrant General] msong06:
Im not addicted, its a life style.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
You know you have a problem when you over hear a person saying "Oh he was flashing"........ and you think of a ROM......... instead of a naked person

De-nile is not just a river in Egypt!
[Vibrant General] Haxel:
I'm just a crack addict for 2.2 final. Then I'll probably go back to lurking again for 2 years.
[Vibrant General] ward360:
Lol.... I bought a netbook so when I was on vacation if I bricked my phone flashing it I could odin it... no I am not addicted..

the first sign of addiction is denial, I ain't denying anything.

Sent from my Vibrant running TW's latest rom, whatever that may be.
[Vibrant General] offdutyninja808:
Sometimes I actually carry my wife's old mytouch 3g. Just in case I brick it while out. That way I still have a working phone till I get home.
[Vibrant General] ThC23:
Lol! True, I don't deny it! I love flashing!
[Vibrant General] wbexpress:
I'm with you Brother

Hi, my name is Paul and I too am a flashaholic:o. I'm so glad that someone had the courage to help us all try to get on the road to recovery. My addiction has caused me to lose time, dignity and self esteem. I am ashamed of my repetitive behaviors and always wanting to seek a new high. I have sought after fantasy speeds and lagfix numbing for years now and I want to stop but I can't!!!!! Hopefully I will now have the motivation to do so by knowing that other XDA brothers and sisters are having the same struggles. Thank you all!!!!!

BTW, just flashed M10 RC1, nice...can't wait for the next update:D
[Vibrant General] ThC23:
Paul just want to let you know that we are all here for you, together we can get through this! Lol!

How's Rc1 compared to Nero 4, I've been waiting for them to make it more stable!
[Vibrant General] offdutyninja808:
I know that M9 was the fastest ROM that I have ever used on the Vibrant. Not knocking TW or Eugene, but that **** is so snappy, even before voodoo.

So M10 should only be faster.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Its more addicting than sex
[Vibrant General] junxracr:
In the past four days I have flashed nero 4, 4.1. M9,M10, pepperkake, and modded and morphed all of them fully.

Running nero 4.1 + DoW now, and I'm thinking about modding gingerclone and M10 beta 4 with dragon and DoW kernals.

Nero+DoW *vibrant*
[Vibrant General] glensta:
I'm Glensta - Newcomer flash-a-holic. Since the vibrant came out, I've bricked a total of 6 vibrants. I returned 4 to 1 store, telling them "I don't know what happened?" Then that store refused anymore returns, so I found a different store that'd take back my 5th vibrant.....Finally, my 6th vibrant came from t-mobile cust. svc with some routine questions being asked by the rep. Now I'm good at "download" mode finally.

I did use one of my family member's upgrade (hell - they said they won't use it - so why not) and bought me a little cheapie phone just in case I brick again.

Flashing's fun w/ friends
[Vibrant General] Stevenjcarney:
Hi, my name's Steven, and I've been a flash-a-holic for about a year, when I first met that green robot Andy. Currently I'm waiting for a fix for the FFC so I can mod my phone even more. (Pretty sure I'll be the only one in my city with a FFC on my Vibrant 3G[It's like Samsung's copying the Apple what with releasing the Vibrant 4G, so mine's the 3G])

[Vibrant General] swehes:
I'm not sure what I am. I flash my own phone. Don't get enough of it so I talk people at my work to let me flash their phones. Then as I am doing support for phones and applications on the phone, I am encouraged to flash and learn more stuff....
[Vibrant General] wbexpress:
I like it a lot. Unfortunately my sole criteria in evaluating a ROM anymore is how long it takes until I get my first random shutdown. I'm now into the end of a second full day and knock on wood, it has not turned off yet. The speed, with Voodoo, is comparable or faster than Axura. The one 2.2 incarnation series I have never used is Nero, for whatever reasons, not sure? The aesthetics are fine for me. I know the thread has said there's an issue with the "Ambient Launcher" which I do not use anyway, so, it's great in my opinion. I'm not sure I read anything about any other issues. RC2 apparently is now out, but I am staying put on the "it ain't broken" theory. I may not even try 2.3 when it comes out. I'm hoping to be cured from the addiction by then (yeah, right:D).
[Vibrant General] enzomtrx:
Ever since i figured out how to break into my perfected SPL mytouch3g, I can't help but check the various forums for just another ROM to try. I now have a haxsung vibrant as my main with my mytouch 3g(super-F) in my coat pocket just for such an emergency.. :-P

This rom has turned into my favorite. I've got a backup of v3, and this. Seems to be all I need but I do enjoy seein the other versions and how they compare.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauron0101:
When testing the Epic's GPS, it seems that I currently can get an actual lock that is accurate to about 50m (150 feet). I have also encountered situations where I am entirely outside of the GPS error radius. Getting a GPS lock right now is pretty rapid; locking in under 5 seconds.

However, on thing I have noted is that the phone has been unable to pass the GPS test and GPS status applications consistently. I've tested multiple ROMs both indoors and outdoors, getting similar results across the board.

How is everyone else doing with their GPS? Anyone have a permanent fix? I haven't seen anything that could be considered the answer and I suspect that the problem may be hardware. Certainly clearing the cache has not been a fix (at least not for me).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecooce:
If you have the new google maps update,uninstall the updates,see if that helps...This worked for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a454nova:
GPS should be solid. With in 4 meters. If flashing back and forth between DI18 and DK28 via odin w/modem isn't working, I would guess its hardware.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauron0101:
I was referring to the GPS Test app. Reinstalling had no effect.

What I find strange is that reading other posts, people have had mixed effects. This suggests that either quality control was somehow very poor, or that the problem is fundamentally software.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] valv507:
Sounds stupid, I loaded a dozen of roms but the one I like and I am keeping does not show the large flip clock with weather on home page.

Is it a custom widget ? Where do I find it. I dowloaded 1/2 dozen of similar from Market but none works as good as the "OEM".

I am using ocm_r1 Kernel
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fruchtfliege:
fancy widgets is almost as good as the stock htc sense clock/weather widget. in the pro version you can download a load of skins for clock/weather and one of them looks like original sense (it's called H7C).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oni1jz:
So many people uave downloaded the new Nero V4 with the 1.4ghz kernel and have no issues. And some phones have crashed and not worked with that kernel.

Cpu tuners seem to work great at saving battery for other people and seem to killing mine more than without it. Even with same settings.

Do these apps work on some phones because of hardware compatibilities? Please help. These cpu tuners seem to harm my battery rather than save them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigby2727:
yea it happen to me to is dat app cpu tuner dat slows down da phone cause i had it downloaded and its started moving slow...............
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Try set cpu. I'm using it and I love it. I am not overclocked though. I have mine set to 200 mhz low and 1000mhz (1ghz) high conservative. I only overclock when playing games that require the extra speed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oni1jz:
Yea i wanna try... just that i dont know if it will be a waste because i tried to many overclock apps and they all fail. I hear both good and bad things about it. I mean good reviews and bad reviews. So i think it might vary phone to phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I know a lot of people are going to disagree, but I'm really not buying that "it varies from phone to phone". The only differences I know of is that newer Vibrant's don't have the gps issue and they have the 3 button issue with them where you can not boot into recovery. Other than that I think all Vibrant's are built the same.

1.0.0.11011_4. I am curious :D

Not sure if it means anything or not. I had checked this morn. and it would not go past the connect your phone page. Never had problems with it before. Saw your post and ran it. It is updating now. May just be bug fixes.
[Captivate General] jam287:

After the update, my phone is able to (again) connect to Kies mini with USB debugging on and with any launcher as default.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I also noticed this update, and in the past week Kies Mini connected to the update server right away - I no longer have to try 5 times - could be Samsung is finally getting ready for the release.

What rumor? Kies Mini updated. Fact. The fact that some posted saying they hope it means the update comes soon is also not a rumor. Just them wishing it would come soon. I think it was good to know kies mini updated. It lets us know they are at least working on something. Kies mini is of no use but for firmware updates, fact.

Here's the problem. I flashed a gingerbread rom but they had those stupid transitions effects thats i hate so, I flashed back to one of my back up roms. After doing so the phone no longer loads up photos in the gallery app nor does music load up in the music app. I flashed backups of different roms which these apps worked on prior to me flashing this cm7 alpha rom but the same problem was present in all my backups. How do I fix this problem? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I figured it out. It swapped sd cards with a friend of mine to see if the music and photos would load up and they did so the problem is with the sd card and not the phone thank God. Thanks for the help anyway Freeza.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
Try clearing cache of HTC Album and/or 3D Gallery, or get an SD rescanner app from the market to force android to do a media scan for your stuff.

[Nook Color General] Fishfoot:
Hey guys,

So I picked up and rooted my nook this past weekend. I have some ebooks that I have been transferring to the "library" by using Calibre. But the library was kind of annoying as i have boosted the pixeldepth and the buttons and such looked a little strange. So I tried to install the nook app from the market with the hope that it would work. Unfortunately it didn't work and it crashed right away.

Now the "library" won't update when i transfer books with Calibre, it only shows the original user manuals that it came with. The books can still be read by browsing to them under "my files" but I'd really like to be able to use the shelves and other features. It used to work :(

Can anybody help point me in the right direction?

Thanks

[Nook Color General] Fishfoot:
Thanks for the reply but I may have found a solution.

It appears that I need to start the default "Home" app before I transfer books in. In fact, once I did and I transferred just one book, all my books appeared.

So... for whatever it is worth, it looks like the you have to have the default Home running in order to get the library to update.
[Nook Color General] Fishfoot:
I decided to just go with Aldiko. This is the closest app to "Stanza" I've seen and it does a really nice job. You can even connect wirelessly to your calibre library.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Well the app I linked you to will only change the time the message was received to the time on your device. The messages are marked with the carrier time by default. If you aren't getting the messages in a timely manner, that isn't a fault of the ROM, that's a problem with your network. Call your carrier and talk it over with them. The app is only going to list the messages in the order they were received based on your device time.
