Okay so I'm new to the SGS scene and I was wondering which ROM is the best out there at the moment.
I can't really tell due to the dev section being flooded with questions (MODS WHERE ARE YOU?!?!)
Much appreciated.
Ironic considering your thread is also a question >_>;
Anyway, there will be more custom ROMs once 2.2 froyo is released, something to do with the Galaxy S drivers being encrypted, so ROMs have to be cooked from the release ROMs or something.
I'm a bit sketchy on the details, so what I said may be incorrect.

In what way is that ironic as I stated that the development section is flooded when its supposed to be for roms? This is the general section.
But thanks for your reply

I stumbled upon an article linking to a download to the Gingerbread "beta" for Evo and I'm wondering:
What would happen to my current roms if I actually flashed the update? (using CM 6 and Fresh 3.4.0.1)
Is there potential to completely brick the phone to the point I won't even be able to get into the recovery to get back to a functional rom?
Its not beta. More like a "dev only" or alpha. Its in the dev forum. It wont brick your phone but It could give you some headaches if your new at flashing roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
it is very choppy on my phone, like 5fps choppy.
but text and web browsing worked, along with the market.
however couldn't check gmail, id click on the email and it'd open than go back to the menu right away
Is the flashing process any different than simply selecting the .zip file from clockwork, or do I need to name it update or PC36IMG?
or would it be similar to the headaches received from not wiping the data and cache to load CM 6.1 "stable"?
What exactly are you hoping to accomplish any way? The rom is purely in developmental stages right now and should in no way be used as your primary rom. It's literally going to suck. Performance is NOT there right now. Given the questions you're asking in this thread it's highly unlikely you're going to be loading this rom and helping to improve it by developing it further...
a 2.3 based rom for the Evo intended for the "end user" is likely not going to be ready for you until the source is released for 2.3.
I just saw this posted, not sure if it could be of any help to those that "were" working on the sdk port. I say were because the thread was just closed.

You are mistaken at what that rom is. It is a froyo rom for the Droid X with the gingerbread keyboard and theme.
The numbering convention for the Droid X firmwares just happen to be at 2.3.x right now which is probably confusing you. If you actually go the thread dedicated to that rom you will see: http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...x-1-3-0-droid-x-running-running-fast-can.html

What was/is mis-leading is they are calling it "unofficial Gingerbread port" when they should have called it a rom with a ported theme & keyboard. They never mentioned the version # so I wasn't looking at that. Thanks for the clarification. ... Android Central>
That is a very mis-leading title.

Well the ROM creator didn't do that, it was the genius who blogged about it lol
Since we have a thread where the latest Radio ROMs are available,
would not be a thread about all shipped roms good too
and could gather there?

For this to work you'd need the approval of each rom chef. Plus you'd update thread with each new release?
Sent from a little black thing with flashy lights....oooh its a phone!!!
Hm,thought maybe a dev or mod can make this possible.
Because saw this at few other device sections.
Approval from ROM chef?
I mean collecting all/or most original shipped ROMs (RUU.exe)

Think he means all OEM ROMs, like all of these Stock Z ROMs that're being posted, and any/all g2 AOSP Stock ROMs, straight from the manufacturers.
Jep,right.
I know about "shipped rom" site,but only some ROMs there
Knock your socks off if you wanna dig through all this threads to collect them into a thread you create.
I'm not familiar with Desire rom or else i would
Or post it in the pinned radios roms etc thread and i'll find a way to get it into post 2 with you as the poster

So few people have the tablet at the moment, suspect that's the hold up. It still hasn't been released to the rest of the US.
How much can you do without the source code?
There's not much you can do without the source. The xoom only got it's first rom a few days ago and it does not have all that many changes. Once we get the kernel source, we should start seeing some custom kernels(for overclocking and stuff) but that's about it.

That's what I figured. I'm sure you can change around a few small things, but for the most part didn't expect what I'd consider a true "custom rom."
Will probably have to wait for Ice Cream Sandwich.
I think we can thank google for that as they have chosen not to release the AOSP for honeycomb. And who knows when samsung will release the kernel source. I would have thought they would have released it by now.

I'm not exactly sure what the law is but they will have to release it eventually.. The linux kernel is under the GPL, which means that any modifications to it are, without question, also under the GPL. Therefore, they have to make their version of the kernel open source at some point. Does anyone know how long they have to do so?
Does any one know if the retail version of the galaxy tab have an unlocked boot loader and if can be rooted? cant seem to find that info ne where. if it has a locked bootloader you can forget abt custom roms till the bootloader can be unlocked
Hi,
It seems all the custom ROMs are using the TouchWiz interface. Is anybody looking to maintain a ROM which does not have the TouchWiz launcher and Samsung mail apps etc?
Personally, I find the standard Google launcher, monochrome menus and standard mail app much nicer than the TW version, however there are interesting apps like the video player and updated kernel, drivers etc I would like to take advantage of.
I know there are plenty of other people who also do not like the TW experience, but it seems that all the ROMs in the sticky above have all chosen to take on TouchWiz.
Thanks,
Neil.

Nope'. They claim they are not intending to maintain two ROMs. They have updated their TW ROM and not their non-TW ROM.
Blazar by Poitie?

Is the final Bonsai non-TW rom that buggy?

That's because somebody put a post in there, I do know how to use a search thanks, and I do understand how a forum works. I'll try that ROM thanks.
I put the post in the Development section as it was a question to developers or maintainers of ROMs. I didn't realise this forum is so hard faced about 100% of questions absolutely having to be placed in the Q&A section, even when the topic is relevant to the section.
Might be worth updating the ROMs sticky in the development section to note that Blazar has a Non-TW option.
I know there is Custom Rom thread but it's kinda outdated and most devs updates are spread into different threads.
But my main question is:
Who are currently working on custom roms?
Which version and base? RR, Lineage, MM or Nougat etc....
Obviously it will not ask any ETA... Im patiently waiting for any rom not stock based. And hope the best for the devs can complete the task.

Not the same... i was asking what was going on with custom roms because there was no sign of active developments.
Now the question is: how many are working on it and their status.

As explained before, there already is a thread with information about the Ascend XT development status. Therefore, this thread got closed.
