Looking for some advice here. Been pretty much switching roms for a month straight trying to find the one that fits all my needs. Plus its fun to flash, its like getting a present everyday . well onto my frustration.
I have a mytouch 3g, so I come to the dream boards cause of the action that this forum gets for 32b's versus the magic forums.
The perfect rom for me would be Super D's latest. My only issue is I want to play 3d games, and nearly all the roms here have the ram hack.
I wonder if there would be enough people that wanted a no ram hack version of his rom, to donate to the cause.
I hope this post gets some attention here, I didnt want to clutter is rom thread for a non bug issue.
The ramhack is in the kernel. You can either build your own kernel without it, or switch out the kernel for one that better suits your needs.
is that hard to do? Can you point me in the direction of where to search for info on switching kernels. I was using king's 2.1 rom and he has a no ram hack kernel, but I soppose it wont work for a 1.6 rom.
sorry for my noobness, I have limited knowlege when it comes to this type of stuff.
Thanks for your reply.
It's all in the boot.img file. Open a rom zip file and you will see the boot.img, that is the kernel.
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img (or whatever location and name you give the file) is the command to use. Terminal or adb shell works too.
It would have probably been easier to ask in the rom thread because most developers customize the kernel so a generic might not work as well as the one already in the package.
k. so if I have got this straight.
I notice that the last wes garner 1.6 rom has a no ram hack version. i flashed it and played a 3d game. its works ok for me.
So i can open up his rom, take out his boot image, put it into a zip file, then flash it right after i flash a super d rom?

To an extent yes but as evilkorn mentioned pretty much all devs customize the kernel so it may not run as efficiently or unforeseen consequences may occur then again it could work all fine and dandy. Are 3d games really that unplayable with the ram hack? I play RoboDefense all the time with no probs.
robo playes fine, homerun battle 3d, "which is a awesome game btw" doesnt play on a rom with the 3d hack. I flashed wes garners last 1.6 without the ram hack and it played fine.
I might just stick with this rom for a bit i guess, I really like playing games on my phone.

Hello. How are you? I Would like to request ( i dont really know if is possible) the possibility of creating A2SD on cursorsense or a Stock with root 3.05.401.3. Do you think is possible? I Like speed and sense, just missing the A2SD . Thank you wherever is possible or not. I'll await a reply. =) Regards
The feature of a2sd must be supported by kernel,because the script would not be executed if sd is not mounted so we have to make some change to kernel that we could have sd mounted before the a2sd script's exed.

cursor tried working on this for his rom but i guess there was no possible solution
i hope it is possible though, my phone gets full from hardly any apps
oh. if is on framework, there are issues wich is hard to make work i presume. Hm Well If is possible wouuld be great =). Thank you for replying
Not the framework, the linux kernel. It would need to support one of the ext filesystems (ext2, ext3, ext4). You can check whether it does by executing
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/filesystems
and looking for any of the ext's in the output. If it's not there, one would need to recompile the kernel adding this support.
Hmm although I don't really know why nobody uses yaffs on partitions of the sdcard - anybody know whether it would work? Or make sense?
The kernel does support ext2/3/4 but the problem is that it executes the app2sd script before it mounts the SDcard.
Perhaps the new apps2sd script would solve the issue. (new as in cm5)
yeah I just found http://wiki.theandroidkitchen.com/index.php?title=CursorSense32A_FAQ which kind of explains this. I'm not really content with that explanation though, if it were as simple as tweaking the apps2sd script surely cursor would have implemented it?
EDIT I just looked at the apps2sd script on my current rom (see signature) and as I suspected, it's the script itself that issues the command to mount the sdcard ext partition. So that explanation kinda doesn't make sense to me.
There's an init.rc script that comes with the kernel (boot.img). But the kernel takes a while to load up the SD for some reason and hence the issues.
It's easy to edit but I'm not exactly sure what has to be edited.
On my cousin's phone I just moved the system dalvik-cache to /cache to free up about 20 MB.
Also move market cache to /cache:
Clean it out and symlink to /cache
cd /data/data/com.android.vending
rm -R cache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/market
ln -s /sdcard/cache/market cache
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or just move first and then symlink it
You can query the size of a folder using: du -hs
If you really really want Apps2SD someone can look into it. It can be solved by using an alternate kernel (sanpei). But there hasn't been much activity with 1.5 Sense ROMs here on xda.
Alternately you can find plenty of 32A 1.5 Sense ROMs on international forums.

Thank you everyone. You guys as always are great. Im sorry to request a 1.5 android with a2sd. Without wanting to consider the devs work as in my opinion all work is really great, i was interested on a simple stable fast rom with sense with a2sd because happens that most wich has sense becomes very slow for me on daily use. The roms i had an excelent experience was villain 3.4 for magic ( cant use because it freezes but great release never had slow issues) its a 2.1 android. Also capyslide 1.6 ( only issues was that wasnt completle stable but o loved it. The rc became very slow compared to the other previous versions )
Sorry to post this opinion. But ive been looking and since most of roms 2.1 android are slow compared to what i need, at least i didnt had the experience i expected, cyanogenmod 5.07 in my opinion at speed has grown alot compared to the 4.2.1.15 version to bad isnt sense where i have a preference ( imagine for example i work as agent of a doctor, make alot of calls and in emergency situations if my phone is slow when i need to call an ambulance, im giving an example of the emergency situations wich might happen ) so prefered to roll back until there was. a more mature rom 2.1.
Thank you for all wich are reading and replying =)
That is the main reason of my request. Thank you

CM4 and CM5 are both mature ROMs. You just have to downgrade your radio.
If you don't want to, use any one of the new radio ROMs with sanpei kernel that have apps2sd support.
I have a HTC Dream running CM5 and I don't see how CM5 can be considered slow at all. If you are really looking for speed, use CM5 with SetCPU to overclock to 576 MHz and you will see a noticable performance increase. rps13 is working on ironing the kinks in the 710 MHz oc so look at that one too.
If you limit your background apps, the ROM really flies. Just flash stock CM5 and bcrook's officially supported kernel port instead of one of the ones you see in these forums until you see more verification amongst the users for stability of those specific ROM blends. Cyanogenmod.com forums is your best bet.
2)
If you are keen on using a Sense ROM, you should be able to take a apps2sd enabled sanpei .32.9 kernel (boot.img and wlan.ko as usual) and flash it to Cursorsense to get working apps2sd.
3)
The .27 kernel Cursorsense is based on may have issues mounting the sd card quickly for apps2sd to happen.
Finally there is the option of flashing .9 (or some other version) version of Cursorsense where apps2sd was actually enabled, but you may run into issues.

Could you please explain what i should really do in orther to be able to use app2SD on cursor?
I like Cyanogenmod but the thing is i prefer much more the sense. I know i'm a bit dificult with taste but sense i moved to sense i didnt want anything else.
I would be happy to try your suggestion on cursorsense. I need to get the boot img of sanpei. but how exacly would it work? You know wher ei can find a tutorial or something wich would give me a begining to start? Thank you
Cursorsense in his rom said once:
I need to make something clear to everyone here...
Apps2SD is definitely a good option for people who need it, but I can't deliver it with this ROM.
The kernel doesn't load the SD card soon enough to handle the automatic Apps2SD script.
Guys, I really want to help you out here, but I don't know if I can.
Maybe another ROM might be best if you need the space... sorry eyegor.

Instead of automatic how about manualy? For instance a system as Cyanogenmod but. instead of loading the apps automaticaly, we have a loader(wich would work as an emulator or something identical) wich run the apps wich are installed on the SD Card?
To activate this option this loader must work as an app, and we could install apps from it. Wouldnt be this way more stable?
I know, I know, you reading this thread are very disappointed of me, a noob, for asking this since a billion other of my fellow noobs already asked this. I just wanted to know what is the best rom out there today for the T-Mobile Mytouch 3g 1.2 (w/3.5mm). I have recently moved over from the HTC Touch Viva forum and I am amazed by all the development going on, considering the amount of people here compared to there. I have installed Amon_Ra's recovery and flashed a rom but didn't quite like it due to the Google apps always force closing (I think most people were having the problem with the rom) so I restored the backup. The only thing done to the phone is that I rooted it and installed the recovery. Thank You very much if you decided to point me in the right direction, and if you didn't, have a nice day.
Don't hate on me just because I'm a noob! I'm 16 and android modding is way more confusing than WM6.5/6.1, haha.
The best in my opinion is the one linked in my sig. The slide rom. it has everything you could want from dounut and a hero type rom. The reasons for all the google apps FC is because you have either not done a full wipe before flashing the rom, or may not have your sd card partitioned in 3 partitions.
Download, put on sd card, flash, Let it sit for about 15 min, it will take a long time to boot the first time.
That's probably why it FC so many times. I didn't do a full wipe nor did I have the SD card partitioned.
Do all ROMs require a partition of the SD card? How would I go about partitioning it?
I'll search around for it later. I have a math final to study for!
Can't go wrong with Cyanogen's Eclair ROM. No partitions required.

Thanks for pointing this rom out, I really like it so far (just loaded it, loading my backup of my microsd on).
Looks very nice, runs very smooth and everything is supposed to work accept bluetooth so thats great. Hopefully it doesn't slow down once I load up my apps and this will replace CM as my daily driver until the hacked 2.2 comes out for MT3G 1.2

Thank you all for the input. I've downloaded SuperE a few days ago and it was the best ROM yet, everything works to the best of my knowledge. It's fast, smooth, and everything I would want from a non-official ROM. It actually feels like an official update from using it. I did have some random force closes, but it doesn't lower the overall score of the ROM. Eleven out of ten in my book!
The only thing left is a keyboard. I'm using the stock android one, but the keys are too small and make the input experience ****ty.

Don't you just need a different kernel for 32A?
I have no idea. BUT I have successfully booted cyanogen-mod 5-ds which DOES say is compatible with 1.2.. and it's an EXCELLENT rom.
Super E and CM 508 are already compatible with mt3g 1.2... dont need the 32a port
Any cyan based rom or rom using his kernel should be compatible with the 1.2 i suggest kolohes speedteam rom.

Hey I'm on CM7RC1 with Eugene's Kernel. It shows the startup and after that the screen goes blank. I will donate $5 via Paypal to whomever can help me get it running. Possibly a different combination of ROM and kernel might get it to run as it runs on other HTC phones fine so I think I can rule out the Emulator as being the entire problem. Thanks!

Hello dawg
Ether your emulator is not compatible (happened to me) or your rom is corrupted. Theres an apk called "Emulator Roms" (version 2.2.1) out and it will give you downloads for most roms, worth playing, and up to date emulators that are compatible with CM7 (aka Gingerbread lol)
Google to find the download or wait for me cause i forgot where it is haha
http://www.paulscode.com/forum/index.php?topic=60.msg563#msg563
The emu is not optimized yet, and there is no GUI. But Banjo Tooie is working on this emulator!
To play Banjo Tooie, go on your sd card. Open the folder App-Data> Paulscodeblahblah folder > Roms > Place the Banjo Tooie rom here and rename it to mario.n64 ( dont forget to rename or delete the original mario.n64 )
It lags on my device but i already said the emu needs optimization because it is still in alpha
I finally decided to root my g2 but I'm quickly becoming overwhelmed with all the possible choices and information. This is what I'm looking for and hopefully somebody can tell me the simplest way to achieve it.
I want good gps and working Google talking navigation.
I need working wifi calling.
I want to safely over clock.
I am not overly concerned with appearance, i just want something that works well with no bugs. I've been using cm7 nightly on my nook color and I'm happy with it, but does cm play nice with gps now? I've read several threads about other roms and that's why I'm stuck. I really don't want to have to experiment with a dozen different setups. Thank you ahead of time!
Most ROMs in the dev section provide all 3 of those. Any custom ROM allows overclocking, nearly all provide WiFi calling (or you can add it later), and gapps provides your navigation/gps functionality.
You can read before installing whether or not there are known bugs (some AOSP ROMs have GPS issues), and then troubleshoot afterwards if you have issues.
Just be sure to back up with ROM manager before you flash, and you can always go back to the previous setup if you're unhappy with the way your chosen ROM performs for you.
I'd recommend the ROM in my signature to meet all of the needs you mentioned. It's fast, reliable, and has incredible support... essentially it's a moderately modded version of CM7.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Be sure to follow the wiki for rooting its flawless.
As for rom choice I always, always end up back on CM7. Nothing beats its out of the box functionality and stability.

I've used Virtuos Sense 2.0.0 and now I'm on InsertCoin Sense 2.1+3.0. Both are great and should fit your needs.
Basically, once you root your phone changing ROMs is easy so you can try different ones and see which you like best.
Thanks for the replies so far. If I get anything wrong or mistaken, please jump in and correct me:
From what I've read, I don't think I'd like any of the Miui-types, they seem more iPhone like than android and I really don't like the iphone.
CM7 is cm7, so it'd be the same on my G2 as my nook color, right? My NC has a built in overclock, I didn't have to add anything extra, is CM7 for the G2 the same?
I've read many threads about how good Virtuous is, but seems like just as many people say it's too resource intensive and slow. Comparing it to the stock Tmo 2.2 or 2.3, is it at least as good? Seems pointless to develop something if it's slower than stock. Is the Insertcoin just a variation of virtuous?
I'm intrigued by Dit's recommended rom, that may be my first choice to try.
I guess I'm really looking for a 1 stop shop, it took me a little while to get the market working on my NC. Do any of the mentioned rom's have everything from the start, or do I still need to add pieces (like gapps, or wifi calling) after installing the rom?
The other rom that has my interest is meXdroidMod, any opinions on it?

Virtuos Sense 2.0.0 is Sense 2.1, so it's not slower than stock (in fact it's faster, thanks to optimizations and Virtuos OC Daemon) and doesn't have any weird issues.
InsertCoin is developed by a different team and uses a different kernel (rmk), so I wouldn't call it a variation. It's also different in that it combines elements from Sense 2.1 and 3.0, while Virtuos ROMs are either full 2.1 or full 3.0.
i guess we all missed the main point here and is how to root lol heres the best guide for rooting your G2/Desire Z:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
about the ROMs if you like CM7 go ahead and try it for, its the same as the one you have on your nook, and yes you can overclock without adding anything
about gps on cm7 most people have had trouble with it, but you just need to try cause i really never had any problems
Yea wipe efs before flashing, it will eliminate a lot of common issues with gps and such. Superwipe + will wipe everything well. Don't forget to flash recovery and do a nandroid backup! Also to make the transition easier backup with titanium backup pro. I use virtuous glite btw it looks stock except with light overclock and it is solid. Virtouos basically took the stock rom removed a lot of the bloat and overclocked and pre-rooted it. Works great my only hiccup was I had to grab the swpye beta apk. Aside from that I just restored my apps and I was away.

Gapps is embedded in the ILWT ROM, as is the EFS wipe tool, to help eliminate GPS issues (plus radio suggestions/info in the OP). Wifi Calling can also be added during ROM install. The OP gives all the info you could possibly need in his thread. Give it a thorough read... seems to cover all the things you've mentioned. And I've had nothing but best experience with it... been running it since nightly 186.
I've successfully rooted following the wiki, I was pretty nervous about screwing it up but everything went smoothly and exactly how it was written. I installed RomManager and flashed "clockworkmod recovery" and then clicked on "backup current rom" and it rebooted the phone and gave me several choices. I used the volume button to select "backup and restore" and selected that, and now it is showing me a screen with a top hat over an orange ring, it's just sitting there with no progress bars and no words. I was following the directions from this site:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
but it doesn't look like the screens on that site right now.
Is this supposed to happen, or did I somehow screw something up when I've barely gotten started?
You still need to flash a Recovery... you can do this through Rom Manager... but use version 3.0.2.4. Or, you could check out the Recovery in my signature. 4EXT Recovery... it's pretty wonderful. After you flash your chosen Recovery you will be able to make a NANDroid backup.
Misread your post. Yeah, you probably used the trackpad... sorry.

I thought clicking "flash clockworkmod recovery" was flashing a recovery? My big question is what do I do right now, as things seem locked up with just the hat/orange ring on the screen. It's been that way for about 5 minutes at least. Can I power off without hurting anything? And yes, I used power to select "backup/recover".
Press it again and then use the trackpad to scroll and select,that screen is like a screensaver so to speak.

Many, many thanks to you, I was afraid I'd royally screwed up. If it wasn't for your help in my ADB thread I wouldn't have made it this far, many and much thanks!

Last question for the night, and sorry if this is a dumb newb question. Once a rom is flashed, what is the easiest, quickest way to reinstall all my old apps?
When you log into google your apps are synced,would recommend getting titanium backup though,a good app which can backup,restore apps,upload to dropbox,uninstall system apps very useful indeed

Before you flash a new ROM, download "Titanium Backup" off the market and use the Menu button to select Batch. Do a backup of all your apps and data (not system data), and when you flash a new ROM, reinstall Titanium, select Batch mode again, and restore all missing apps and data.
Hi guys!
Is already have my OP5 since a month and using FreedomOS with Franco Kernel since the 2nd day I got it in my hand.
I am pretty happy in everything it brongs me both things, but I want to ask to people who has another custom ROM (xXx NoLimits, Resurrection Remix, ExperienceOS, etc) / Kernel on its device (I do not know a lot of kernels but I saw Franco and people (and his developer) told me some features and they hat reason is very smooth good and customizable with its own app.
So which Rom do you have? Magisk or SuperSu? Which Kernel is the best for you? :victory:
I want to get your personal opinion and your experience, I hope more people have the questions I did it and here we can help us each other with our opinion about using X rom X kernel and some more features that I can not put it here because I do not know if there are more things (my last Z5 I used mods and tweaks to make better performance but if you have a kernel like France you do not need this).
Thank you very much for your help :fingers-crossed:
I'm using xXx no limits and use the AKT (advanced kernel tweaks or so?) mod.
I don't know about the kernels but the ROM itself is my favorite.
It has an aroma installer (you pick which features you want before installing them) with many options.
You won't need to download gapps, magisk/ supersu and some stuff like xposed separately. It's very convenient.
Everything is smooth.
The stereo mod (using the earpiece as a speaker for music and videos) is something which is weird as it's used for something it wasn't meant to be used but still a very nice addition.
It's basically a faster stock OOS (oxygen OS) in a bundle with some root functionality added.
This shall be it for now. I hope that I could help you. Fell free to ask if you have any questions
I am using pure stock since I got this phone on the 4th of September and I have to say since then I stopped being a flasholic.
PureFusion because I've had the Nexus 6P and Pixel XL before this phone and ran PureNexus on those, and PureFusion is based on that. It's the only ROM that I feel provides just the right amount of features for me (not too much and not too less).
I'm using the stock kernel now because using custom kernels would introduce issues.
I did have the phone randomly reboot on Me 2 times so far but I can't say for sure that it's the ROM that is causing it.
Overall it's my favourite one out of the handful I have tried and I would definitely recommend it!!
Gonna go with stock as well. Stock kernel or Franco. Gotta say, better speed and battery than the other stuff out there. You gotta figure a whole company can do much better in software development than 1 guy or a team of 5 or 6 people.
Pure Fusion here too because its given me an extremely better battery life from the normal 3 hours SOT, i now get roughly 6 . Stock Kernel with the rom because it's just good for me all in all, maybe will try Franco sometime down the road because, i've been along time supporter. Magisk just because I don't need much except YouTube without ads, also can use Snapchat and other apps flawlessly! Good Luck!

I watched too Pure Fusion OS, but I need to know if I can install it jsut the Rom of do I need too one of the gapps that are they in the original post the gapps, bu I need to know how to install it?
Do I just make a clean install or i do a clean install and I install one of the gapps?
I must ask too, if I have unlocked the bootloeader, does that mean I have my mobile encrypted? Can I install Pure Fusion OS without problem?
What I normally do is wipe everything but internal memory, install room along with gapps I use open and it boots up! And you're all good to go !

It doesn't really matter. You can download open gapps or one for the others (forgot the names. Hehe).
You'll have to flash the ROM first and then the gapps file in the recovery. That's it.
But beware. Playing with your phones software doesn't come without risks. Read a lot about what you have to do and preferably try it on a phone to practice before doing it on your normal phone.
It can break your phone and I don't think that you can/ want to buy a new one. I had bricked my first phone a week after getting into root and custom ROMs.
The problems after that have driven me crazy but I was going to buy a new phone anyway.
LPT: If you want to flash something, wait for stable releases as long as you're inexperienced. Wait till others have tried that and then flash it. That way, you'll avoid some of the problems that you would struggle for a long time to fix.
And don't forget this. Keep an eye on the forums to see what problems people are reporting of and how to solve or avoid them in the first place.
Hope I could help

Arm 64/ 7.1 / And then you can choose which you like i don't need everything from Google so i'm sure what to select and as the previous post it has a stable and beta build PERSONALLY i'm using the beta and no problems at all! Any other questions feel free to ask!
This is an age old question..
You need to ask yourself not us.
What is your favourite car ? Mines a McLaren or a nismo, or a s2000 or robocops car.
You may disagree..
So what do you like, flash a bunch and see for yourself..
Bare in mind these threads usually get closed.
I'm using pure fusion and love it.
