I was thinking of putting together some quick video previews of the major custom ROMs floating around. Any requests as to which ones you'd like to see or think would be good to demo? It will mostly be a quick look at what each system looks like after a fresh flash, UI, menus, features of each ROM, what have you. Any input greatly appreciated!
I like this idea. Personally, I'd like too see UI overviews, a breakdown of what's been added removed, and a benchmark of some sort. (Yeah, I know, basically everything you mentioned).

That's a great idea as I have no idea on which one to use.
Can't wait to see your video.

Dash from SPJ does a lot of ROM reviews for the EVO as well as the HTC Touch I think.

um... all the ROMs do basically the same and almost all of them are on the stock rosie. You can see what's different in each ROM just by reading the ROMs initial thread.
this would be a waste of time

I disagree. I'm new to the evo, and to android in general. The custom rom threads frequently seem to assume you are already familiar with the rom. I've seen a lot of changelogs, that explain what is new since the last version, but that doesn't help if I've never run the previous version.
I'm currently running fresh, mostly because I had no idea which one to pick. It's been working great, so I'm in no hurry to switch, but I am wondering what I might be missing with another rom.
I think this is a great idea. With the recent news about record android sales, there will be a lot of folks coming to the evo without previous android experience. This series of videos will help them a lot.

Then I'll get started today! First on the block will be stock, Fresh 3, and CM6.
Infamousjax, you don't have to watch them.
Me neither....good newbie thread tho
Good idea, as a newbie ill definitely watch. Is bugless beast going to to be featured?

That ROM hasn't been updated in forever (There isn't even a 2.2 port or anything).
I think bugless gave up on the evo due to ungreatful users

Hello,
I am planning to get a Android Phone, is there anyone can suggest me a great Android Phone . Of course, I also require a free Android Phone PC Sync Tool to manage my photos , videos, music, message... and so on, please recommend me a free Android Application as well.
I will appreciate your support and answer.
The Droid incredible wont let u down.
The taskmanager app by Adao team is the best task manager.

yup...
but just to make this interesting, i am assuming you are on verizon considering you are in this forum section?
droid 2 if you want a hard keyboard.
the new htc phone coming out with the slideout keyboard looks interesting.
Samsung fascinate has a bright future but i would wait till froyo hits it cause they are having serious lag issues. Plus froyo might allow the user to use google as their search engine. (all assuming you don't root)
I saw a lot of complaints, so thought that there should be a feedback thread, for the time being for members of Incredible boards to use this.
Here, if you can, state what alpha version you are running, if not the latest, with your concerns, joy, etc.
And the Developers of ICS can see this and make improvements on what needs to be worked on and what is working perfectly...varying from one user's phone to another.
**If mods feel that this is not needed or a complete utter waste, then you may delete it. Thought I'd help the people out by posting this for people trying out the ICS for the Incredible
^^
I think this is a good idea. However, I would remove the link to the dev thread in the OP. I think many "unknowledgable" users will simply click on that link and we may be right back where we started.
Just my 2 cents worth . . .
I agree with taking the link off of the page to lessen confusion. That said it was awesome to see ICS boot up and whatnot on my INC!!
Removed.
Also, people can post alpha version links here so people arent asking for it there.
Alpha 3 ran pretty good, less lag, imo.
I really want to see the camera functional on it, but that may take time....?
This would probably be better suited for the general discussion forum because you are looking for feedback on the development and not actually providing any development in this thread.

What gapps do you have loaded? Most likely the ones you have are not build for Android 4.0 so they won't work.

Please use this GAPPS...this was posted by "tiny" himself.
http://db.tt/OJKTipDb
I used this same one.
One thing i forgot to mention....you may get a random restart using Alpah3 w/ the GAPPS flashed...but it should be stable after that.
Alpha 3 works quite well for me for it being such an early build. It is slow, but using ADW and turning off all animations helps a lot. Google apps seem to run the slowest. XDA, Words With Friends, Facebook, and Twitter run as smooth as usual. Another little trick I've just discovered is to use a different keyboard. In some apps, it's more responsive than the stock keyboard. I hated the red lines under each word when using the android keyboard (can be disabled by turningg off corrections/suggestions), and sometimes it just could not keep up. Thumb Keyboard 4 works great though.
I have seen a few random reboots, but have noticed they only happen when I search for something within an app. If i search for someone in twitter or an app in the market, it sometimes reboots. Not always though.
So far so good. Ive been using it for 48 hours now and am loving it. I can't wait to see what it can do with everyhing functioning properly with hardware acceleration.
One request: is there a way to get the on screen back/home/running apps buttons to work so we can see what its like? That would be pretty cool to try out

Yes you can get the onscreen nav. buttons to work but you would have to re-calibrate the touchscreen drivers...we barely just fixed those lol

I'm not that eager to get them. I'm perfectly happy with whatever I'm given. I'm just happy to be able to use it at all.
Good things come to those who wait.
Edit- I don't know if that thing about ROMs needing time to "settle" is true or not, but it seems like this one has finally settled. I haven't had a reboot in hours, and though it's obvious there is no acceleration, everything seems to be runningg very smoothly. Its not fast, but it's not unusable.
This work has really come a long way in such a short time. I'm enjoying it very much.

Hi guys, I just ran into this post demonstrating Project Chameleon and wanted to share this with you. I personally think it looks great and can't wait for it to be released, or even better, to be ported to the Xoom!

Looks class, would love to try it out
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Its really fantastic
That's pretty damn slick.
Looks awesome - but will need a lot of work to be really useful. Similar to Cornerstone (which is epic as well but is too buggy at the moment).
Looks to heavy and cluttered for me.
Sent from Tablet
Looks impressive but has anyone heard anything on a timeline as far as when the general public would have access to it?
Looks good to me, however very "Metro" like, they need to get this out before Win8 lands..
Kickstarter for this project
Please sponsor if u r interested

That looks fantastic. Is it safe to say that it's a fully custom ROM though, like cornerstone? I assume you wouldn't be able to get that kind of function with just a custom launcher.

Well in the interview he said it will be released in the play store. So I guess it is going to be a launcher.

Looks pretty slick as an all-in-one package, but it doesn't look like anything that couldn't be accomplished right now with tasker, locale, your favorite widgets,and some hub-like home page setups, does it? A build your own variety would offer much more customization. Reminds me of an app I use on my note... car dock home. It is setup to recognize my dock or a bt connection in my car and brings up a totally new home screen with different apps and widgets, and cuts off wifi.

Got my access to Project Chameleon Beta have it installed on my Xoom as we speak Very Impressive and I have to say it is VERY unlikely I will be going back to the default android launcher ANYTIME soon. Anyone who did get on-board via kickstarter can still get it now. Go to the site below for details.
http://chameleon.teknision.com/
Project Chameleon running on my Xoom
Wanted to support them earlier already, but was only do to so now since you can pay with paypal now. It really is still in beta mode, not all widgets are included either. Only instagram, twitter (2 options) weather, news (rss) and gmail. They included some wallpapers as well, but you can load your own too. It lags a little on Team Eos JB nightly, but they said they are working on it. I do hope for some more settings and gimmicks, and perhaps some mods. I really hope for some drawer mods though, as I prefer the stock one, preferably with some options (my other launcher is nova prime).
It has a lot of potential, so I think it's a good investment in the android modding.
So is chameleon just a fancy launcher?

Hello guyz, I have started my work on making a dedicated website for our galaxy 3. Well I have already started (started last night only ) and you can have a look at it here http://g3android.atspace.co.uk/ . I am trying to make it good looking, and will try to keep it clean and up to date. Currently, the site hardly has anything but you can see the basic design. And yes, suggestions are highly valuable for me. (Well i am not any wizard, so I can not make any professional like website, but still I am quite good at it)
PS. The website is completely made in flash so you must have adobe flash player to view the website
Tell me how it is and suggest me something
Good my wishes to you
G3 Development all at one Place.
Why isn't the page centered?

As i told, the site is a wip and the whole work was done in a few hours.. currently in the process of refining the look... will complete it soon.
I also planned to host my site at webs but it no more gives HTML only mode. I wanted a flash website because the default themes and templates are boring..
