All,
Finally decided to root yesterday and have been monitoring the ROM's in the development section. I'm torn between the CyanogenMod and Iced Glacier. From what I'm reading the CyanogenMod is still a RC and not official yet and Iced Glacier is still using the sense interface.
I use this phone for work ie Touchdown and need something super stable that won't crash on me every other day. What ROM would you recommend that I try? Some keys for me is stability, dialer is functional(hated the MT4G dialer), contacts, camera and Touchdown definitely will need to work.
Thanks for any info.
I'm using iced and no issues. Everything works. Jus flash gorrillas latest kernel with it. I believe its 1.02? V.5(the one that came with the iced rom) froze on me alot when I oc past 1.4

The best answer is to make a nandroid backup, and try all of the roms. They're all pretty damn stable at this point, its just a matter of personal opinion. CM6 is still an RC, but a lot of people, myself included, are using it ads their daily driver with no issues at all.
I have been using the CM RC2 as of now .. i didnt care much for the other ones due to it was exactly like what i had already .. with the apps removed and so fourth .. seemed like a lot of setup for nothing .. and with cyanogen rom it is not the same stock ROM .. different. This has his settings, which i like. I think this may be the version where people are saying video playback has been an issue and i have had absolutely no issues with the video playback thru stock player or youtube at all .. no forces closes and everything seems to be working fine with this one so far.
But ya the best advice has already been said .. try them all ... thats what people do when they arent sure about something .. they try it .. obviously what i did . or i couldnt tell you about it.
Thanks all! I think I'm going to be trying the CM ROM. Thanks for all the advice.
dont know what im doing
i dont know what i'm doing, but i do believe i rooted my phone, downloaded titanium back, rom manager, visionary super user, setcpu, and super user. but cant seem to get my phone in recovery screen mode. please help

Please bear in mind the easiest and simplest way of correcting an issue with a ROM is to read the ROM's |OP|, and the easiest correction is to re-wipe (using both ohsaka's superwipev2 from here, and recovery wipe the list... do both twice)your phone well, then reflash the rom...
General Questions:
Q: This app or that app is not working....
A: wipe and reflash....
Q: This or that app won't work on Ginger Yoshi, but worked fine on Froyo Yoshi
A: Some developers have not supported their work on the 2.3 line yet... it is a developer issue, not a ROM issue....
Q: I get error whatever trying to flash the ROM in recovery?
A: Download the link again, wipe and reiinstall.
Q: Google Setup FC's (that's force closes)
A: make sure you have an ext partition set up, preferably ext4, wipe (see above) and reinstall ROM
Q: Why isn't this or that incorporated in the ROM?
A: Either because it breaks something, or maybe it was FORGOTTEN, we all do this for the betterment of the community...
Q: Do I need to wipe before upgrade?
A: Unless it specifically says no wipe update, which yoshi has yet to do thus far, YES YOU NEED TO WIPE!! it GREATLY reduces issues... (on another note even the CM team has made a post by a Senior Mod here)
Q: I ask questions before searching or reading....
A: You will either be flamed or ignored...
G1/32B
Q: My phone hangs on boot?
A: Make sure you have the 2.22.27.08 or 2.22.28.05 radio and the 1.33.0013 or 1.33.0013d spl... available here
32a
Q: Can I use the new 6.35 radio?
A: NO!! it says so in the ROM's OP, you should be using the old 3.22 radio, and the 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010 SPL.
Q: What kernel should I use?
A: this one...
Q: Why do I have to flash a radio, on other ROM's I don't?
A: Because that's what the Dev says, the is YOSHI's ROM not Mr. XYZ...
MT3G 1.2
Q: I am confused, on what to do?
A: check this post hereby jjrumph
Q: What kernel do I flash?
A: Well you can flash 1 or 2... this oneto get you booted, it will work, you can also flashthis one modded by ratking with an extra 10mb of space...

Most everything runs great. Text to speech settings force closes which looks like it's addressed in next release.
Only issue for me is that I'm trying to install Swype using Swype Installer. Keep getting Data network experienced problem message try again. Keep getting this. Had it installed on CM 6.1 with no issue.
Currently using My Touch 3G with 3.5 mm JAck

Great work though. Love the rom.

Okay, I've uninstalled Tweetdeck, cleared cache, rebooted and reinstalled.... and still getting FC. I'm lost as to what is going on here, everything else is working fine?
I'll just have to wait until the next Yoshi Ginger release and perform another wipe to see if that fixes the issue.

I'll perform a full wipe (superwipe) when I flash the new Yoshi rom, see if that fixes it.

If Swype is checked in settings, then try long press text area and choose other keyboard. The do the same thing, long press and press Swype and see if that works. Thats what I had to do if I rebooted on 6.1

Having some issues with the Royal Glacier ROM
I have version V1.2 & Froyo Faux123-V0.9.3 Kernel
Im getting foreclosing issues with apps
Video camera lags at times
Notification issues with some apps
I thought the ROM with this Kernel was the best to slove the issues?

How long have you been having issues and did you use titanium backup to restore apps? That is the kernel that came with the Rom, have you tried any others? I am not sure why you would be having FC isuues or lag. My suggestion would be to wipe cache and dalvik cache and then reinstall the rom over the top of your current one. If that doesnt work, you can try a full data wipe/factory reset. Royal Glacier v1.3 will be out soon. You can also try that.
I did not back up apps as I was ok with downloading them again, since I don't have that many apps on my phone. I believe the kernel was not on the ROM when I flashed it over. I read the thread about changing kernels, which I did.
I followed all information to the teeth when I rooted my phone, if i do a full wipe my phone will still be rooted S off correct? ROM first then Kernel, correct?
Typically one would try to run fix_permissions when FCs happen in a known stable built.

My thread says nothing about changing kernels. Yes your phone will still be rooted after you wipe.
I am having an issue when im on edge my phone reboots itself when getting or sending data. has anyone else had this problem or is there something i can do??

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
it wont let me edit yet, but forgot to say, I am useing the kernels that came with the roms, I didnt try any other, also I did a full wipe before going to 1.3, cleared all data
My suggestion for both of you would be to give the stock kernel from post #5 in my thread a flash and see if that helps anything. Make sure to wipe cache and dalvik first. That at least gives us a starting point to try and figure out what is going on. Thanks
I formatted the system from step 5, I didnt do that the first time and I believe that fixed the upside down screen, mostly just having a prob with the Market FC'ing, so I will run the stock kernel to see if that will fix the Market FC'ing, I will run this stock for a while and let you know the out come of it TrueBlue_Drew, Thanks
Update: I have ran the stock kernel all day and no Market FC, Normaly it's random but hasn't done it at all today so far

hey just wiped my ice glacier data and also the cache and flashed royal glacier v1.3, followed by flash of royal glacier blue theme, my maps and navigation do not work, I tried downloading maps from the market and it says : Duplicate Provider Authority, any advice?

So they didn't copy during the installation?!
if it matters I root my phone with AlphaRev. In the moment I'm with recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0.zip + recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-buzz.zip
see that:

You're not alone. I have same problem, too. There's a lot more missing things like setup wizard, input languages other than English, etc... Not just wildpuzzle, same situation applies to some other custom roms I tried.
Weird thing is that there's no problem with old wildpuzzle 8.0.11. Maybe some dev would come out and compare it with others to find out what's wrong.

@bynge: It doesn't matter even if you flash a ruu dude, I tried it. There's no problem with wildpuzzle 8.0.11. So in your words, does this mean wildpuzzle developer's work is better than stock?
Anyway, do you have any solution to the situation, or...?

Same problem with the rom Jokerdroid and DK. I have noted that also the tone gallery in empty (if i open the stock notification editor for incoming calls i found the tones, when i search for them with other applications like alarm clock i can only use the downloaded ones)

Yes, and in my view, it is. If you cannot offer a solution, atleast don't troll.
Solution:
Install old version (131.9mb) -> everything is OK.
flash new v8(126.3mb) without wipe and still OK (wallpapers and scenes)
now tested other things.

100%.
The things that are limited by stock version will be overcomed by dev software.
Personally i got S-OFF, bluetooth wireless pan tethering (kernel dependent) , live wall papers, better battery, and many other things.....
If everyone tells what they got benefited by dev software, then the list will be really huge.....
I also heard that wifi N and newer htc sense got enabled in devices that are not supported by stock (not sure about sense). Depends on what u consider. IMO, like i said 100%.

Try to compare the update-script files of both, and see if there is any part "missing" or something.
If both are alike/the same, then create a recovery-logfile just after flashing the latest wildpuzzle rom. Perhaps it will clear some things.

Could it be a problem related to AlphaRev?
this morning i've flashed an ruu stock rom and the problem is still here: empty htc wallpaper.
I doubt this is a wildpuzzle bug cause I've never flash one of those rom (only cyanogen, jokerdroid, dk).
the only things in common are alpharev and clockworkmode (i'm using cwm2.5) but the latter is out there since too long to discover a bug just now.
I restore stock and no problem ..
did you restore stock through recovery or the executable ruu?

I flashed ruu via fastboot using pc49img.zip method and problem is still there. Exe file always interrupted by battery lower than %30 error no matter what is battery level.
And yes, it's not a wildpuzzle related error. It happens in all custom roms and ruu except wildpuzzle 8.0.11.

Hi,
I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.
Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.
Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.
Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?
CU,
Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.
The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.
As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.
Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.
I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.
I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.
Hope it helped =)
Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management
Hi,
I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.
I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.
Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?
At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device.
I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.
Any suggestions?
CU,
Mészi.
after trying cm7, i really prefer MIUI Rom on A953 !
but Cyanogen team will soon release a 2.3.7 Rom ... so we'll see !
Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly
Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...
When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...
*START copy&paste*
[How to Install]:
1. Download all in one update.zip
2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.
3. select all in one.zip then apply update.
4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)
5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.
For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.
*END copy&paste*
...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/
Any recommendations?
CU,
Mészi.
Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?
and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry !

If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.
But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work.
I think I just give it a try...
CU,
Mészi.
exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !
all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !
last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...
have a good luck for your update !

So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/

... i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !
normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...
the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ...
they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?
Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*
Will post my results here...

Worked w/o any problems
Hi there,
I just "updated" my MS2 from "ms2ginger 1.1" to "EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0" without any problems.
I can only recommend to check the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778
Thanks for your replies so far.

happy to see that it worked !
Problems with CM/ Nightly
Hi there,
I am half-way about to throw it away again.
I installed EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0.zip and then EndlessCM7_update_from_111001_to_111004_v1_5.zip and it appeared to work fine.
But I had to recognize an instable Market app, WiFi cannot connect to my access point and the camera app crashes reliably after starting it.
I will post this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 too hoping that these are known issues with known solutions on it.
If anyone of you knows I'd be glad if you threw some suggestions at me.

For me, MIUI is workind perfectlly, without any problems.
And, my battery life increased alot with the latest build of it

Update: I reverted to the stock ROM and installed the most recent version of EndlessCM7. Now it's working fine.

Thanks for all suggestions. Hopefully this thread will be useful though too for other noobs avoiding the mistakes I did.

Hi, Michael:
I'd like to have my MS2's battery improved like you said and enjoy Exchange server support as well . Do you know if MIUI rom supports it?
MIUI has Exchange server support and works fine.
