I'm kind of new to android and have my rooted phone. How exactly do you flash a rom? Do you use rom manager?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If I were you I'd hold off on flashing any ROMs. There aren't any available right now that are a huge improvement over stock, and it's not an exact science on the Vibrant yet, so if you're new to flashing Android ROMs, recovering from bad flashes, etc., it's probably not worth getting started until there are some ROMs available that are a larger improvement over the stock ROM.
Just my opinion.
Its an opinion that will be well taken. Thanks. Guess il wait for ota froyo.

Froyo (at least by the version numbers)
..
So is the radio included in the ROM? Will we need to flash a froyo radio?
And what's else is included in it?
We supposed to flash to find out?

You don't want to flash that unless you're unrooted, it's signed and a full RUU. Be patient and wait until someone can hack at it. It's only downloading at 50KB/s @ ~400mb.
If you don't know, don't flash it. Leave it for the Devs to look at it and tinker with it.
so this is a new froyo radio?
It's the OTA ROM. It's really here for the Devs. Football releases the RUU. Devs use it as a base for there custom Roms. We download the custom Roms. It's a cycle.
I wish XDA would start creating torrents for things. Far easier to deal with and much faster. Plus, no need for server space.

If you read through the drama filled GB rumor threads in the general section (I don't recommend since there's better uses of time), the only people that think GB is coming by the end of the month are those that want to believe a rumor started by one blog and then relinked to all the other android blogs.
This is most likely just the final update to MR2 that will be the next OTA for froyo that HTC said they were going to fix up before moving onto GB for the TB.
The radio version number is older no? Unless I'm reading the file name wrong...

I unrooted last night and am on stock MR1. can I flash this ruu without any problems, or should I wait for the official ota from verizon?

The last OTA was:
1.13.605.7_Radio_1.16.00 .0402w_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64
This one is
1.20.605.0_Radio_1.16.00.0223r_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64
I flashed this in Clockwork and my phone froze.. Why would it do that?

I think this is much older than the leaks we have seen. The build number is 1.20. We have seen 1.66 (46 builds newer) & a couple of even newer ones.

And I was going to ask if there is any difference from A05PTH3ORY lol. I notice the kernel is different and i guess it's based on latest gb release. Anything else?
Sent from my A05PTH3ORY
This is the NEW one and only AOSP TH3ORYROM, Fresh source, massive mods, tweaks, etc. Your will be able to flash MOD PACKs to Shift the ROMs experience to however you like it. The first MP will be BURN IGNITION PACK that will transform the ROM to BURN.
This is the new way to have the best, what you want, and how you want.
Enjoy GUYs!!!

I have done extensive tests on many kernels with my RAMdisk, Tiamat killed all of them in performance, battery life, and features.
There will be many alternative kernels to choose from.

Dammit! Just updated my backups of mono, burn, clean, and nonsense (and cm7)...more I get to do another one haha.
PS: having 6 roms updated is a pain! Torn between asop and sense.

DT, I haven't had enough coffee yet so this could be a dumb question. I've got three different versions of your AO5P ROMS with three different launchers backed up so I can switch whenever I want or need to.
If I'm understanding this correctly with this ROM it just makes things alot easier to switch?
Please dont hang me...
Will you update clean or release a new sense rom DT?

Does the StockApps Flash Pack in OP only apply for Burn themers?
Also, silly question, maybe, but is there a way to implement a Hibernate mode for this ROM?
Hi all, my mom will be getting a new Droid 2 soon that she'll be using on a page plus prepaid plan and I just have a few questions. I know that there is a lot of information here of the forums but things change so often with development that I think I'll get a better answer if I just ask you experinced guys directly.
I'm just looking for the most stable ROM for her, and the best battery life. It doesn't have to be the newest and greatest, it just has to work when she needs it so that she doesn't get irritated with it.
Thanks in advance.
Just stick with stock if she's inexperienced.

Will stock run smooth enough with out any freezing?
It came today and it had 2.2, I think i'll update it to 2.3 though.
It works for the 95% of the users who don't get pissed off enough to come here and change it
.sbf to the second-to latest firmware. If you OTA, you'll end up with the latest, un-rootable update, making any future development impossible.

On your question about most stable Roms, Galnet MIUI 2.2.10 was the best I've used as far as being issueless. Just behind that would be CM9.
If you do decide to flash MIUI you'll probably want to install a different launcher for her as well if she's used to Android and not looking for a change. Otherwise just let her run with it and see how she likes it.
I'm looking for a stable ROM for my friend's S4. He wants something different to the stock bloated experience but he's not into flashing or anything of this sort. So I'm looking for a ROM that I can flash to his device that doesn't need too much tweaking or updating, so he can forget about it and just use it as his daily driver. His device it's already rooted with cwm recovery. It doesn't has to be something out of this world, but at least something that won't give him much bugs with a daily basic use.

I'll try the Goldeneye one, it's debloated and it's still stock so it'll be of ease use for my friend and he'll like the extra space and fluidity.

These threads are not allowed.
It is up to user preference. Each ROM is different and has its own bugs/quirks, as does each phone. While we may have the exact same device, they all have their own personalities.

XDA is not a support site, users are expected to do their own research into what is best or most stable for them.
Getting ready to finally flash a ROM on this device
But I have a few questions:
1: if I make a backup in twrp is anything not backed up that it's important like imei?
2: is anything still broken in cm11 or Bliss that matters? WiFi/mic issues are my concern
3: is battery life better than stock in these Roms?
I know these are noobish questions and I've been here for a while now. But I really don't want to buy a new phone because I lost my imei.

I suggest you [downgrade to JBBL] before you start flashing custom Roms. KKBL Roms still have various issues.
I just downgraded and started using [cj360's unofficial AOSPA] builds, and they are smooth... and totally worth the downgrade.
EDIT:
#1 Don't worry about it, you're fine. Flash away!
#3 Battery life has always been the same for me. YMMV
Thanks if battery life does not help I will then remain stock for now... Maybe wait and see if L comes to this device via dev

Typically custom ROMs will have slightly worse battery life than a well-debloated stock build. Maybe they have some closed source optimizations we don't know. You will eventually have to get used to custom ROM's battery life if you want to stay up to date in Android version.

I've been running ROMs on my other devices for quite some time. This phone is just one I don't want to mess up. As for the batt life my tab 2 does amazing on kitkat.... So was hoping the battery drain that kitkat stock causes was fixed in another rom. I know I could go back to jb stock but I really don't want to.
Like I said I'll just wait and see of someone brings L to this device.
