Congrats to all of the very talented devs out there who are making these mind blowing Android builds.
Now I only ask for one thing, a custom bootscreen to tell them apart!
I like to try all of the different android builds out there, but sometimes I boot into them and I cant remember which one I just booted.
Why not each dev just come up with their own Custom bootscreen, Kind of like cyanogen mod. Or it could be more simple like showing the build and developers info on a splash screen.
Not only would it give them the credit they deserve, but it would help big time in telling them apart.
So how about it devs? Custom boot screen?
So you want different splash screens just because you think 1+1=3
Ok wiseguy,
How about just to give them the credit they deserve when your booting into their custom operating system.
Two thoughts here :
(1) To help them, why dont you or someone else design the splash screens for them
(2) To credit them, donate or help them in their threads as much as you can answering to people who have queries for which you know the answer to.
I am not being sarcastic here. Since I myself am a WM Chef so I know the time and trouble that goes along in cooking. Trust me its not pretty for someone who has family, life, school, office, kids, college, .... you get the point
If you can't remember what ROM your booting then rename the folder to the name of the build and alter the startup.text to go with the changes. I have never once booted into a build accidentally.
You can also change the boot animation yourself very easily.
I have an idea for the different boot screens, why don't you buy a different hd2 for each of your boots, so you will surely know witch is witch.......

No need to be so evil..guy just gave an idea...
I have another great idea, why dont you buy multiple sd cards and label them to know which is which.
Even better, if you need a reminder of what you using, you can also use a background image that reflects the build, or even use a text widget for main, or secondary screens!

Comon guys, the idea isn't so bad....
Imagine how elegant it would look like if for example, Darkstone had a logo wich is shown while android is loading...or some cool backgroudnd image is shown, or a widget with direct donate option....
I have Photoshop experience...can do it for someone
Thanks to everyone thats supporting the idea. To wise crackers, I can only wish SOD on all of you.
Geez, an Idea just happens to pop up on the forums, and just because you cant say "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!" your all upset. Get over it.
If you dont have time to do it, then fine.
But thats the idea - just like CyanogenMod, he has a custom bootscreen. Why not have the same for each android build.
A lot of builds - both Android and WM - use custom boot animations. Why jump down this guy's throat for suggesting it? Its not like its outlandish.
(note - I don't like custom boot screens and would prefer they not use his suggestion. I just don't understand the need to attack him for it.)
Hey what do you know? One of the builds i'm using almost exclusively just decided to give himself a custom bootscreen...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820696&page=37
Nope, I just wont believe this thread had anything to do with it.
Thank you cmylxgo!
Yay for Custom boot animations
I Love the idea bud!! Yeah custom boot animations would be sick!

I'm sure those with grumpy responses must have forgot you started off with praise for the hard work of devs. Never mind.
I do have several roms on my SD card. What I presently do is change the name of the folder named Android to the name of the Rom, then edit the startup textfile path line to reflect the name of the rom instead of the Android path. When I start windows, from file explorer I go to the particular rom folder I want to use. Im sure someone will come up with a bootloader app reflecting your idea some time or later.

Bootloaders will recognize it. As long as the word android is in there. Like for coredroid, mine is labeled as AndroidCoreDroid

Ya know whats interesting about that though, we need to remember that although some of the devs can hack and mod their phones - that doesn't mean they have a great eye for art.
I've seen some greatly skinned HD2 builds out there, and others have been - well - a bit ugly.
But - If there is someone out out there with some serious artistic skills and can use Photoshop and whatever other booting animation programs to come up with some sick bootscreen animations for the developers - that would be awesome.
Kinda like everyone knows of certain developers only for Kernels, and others for wrappers, how about someone that designs sick bootscreens?!?
That could be you!

Maybe this is far fetched or not..
But will the day ever come or is it even possible that we eventually have a way... perhaps through the recovery menu or just generally through the phone..
To be able to easily select any of the themes, roms... etc from a list of all of the themes, roms.. etc and then install while our phone keeps everything critical to a user saved...
Maybe I am wrong.. I am not much a help to this community.. the best I can give are ideas.
I was thinking a program called ... "XDA" for example that would allow us to install any of this stuff more easily... would be f'n sweet...
Perhaps there could be money from advertising revs or just flat out charge a buck or two as well..
I'm not really sure... thoughts? Is it possible or not?
Excuse my ridiculous way of communicating.
PS... I would love to have easier access to what you guys are doing here, and I know I'd be fully willing to pay for an app that allowed simple installation of work that has gone down here.
It's been such a long time since I rooted and put in a rom as well as other things, I slightly don't look forward to doing it again as well as don't really know what new features would be gained.
I know i've only really had trouble with one thing on my phone and its the damn youtube app... 90% of the time video/audio doesn't play.. but if I try 10x to load the video it does eventually work.
I don't even know what i'm using any more.. I think I have fresh.
Again excuse my writing/thinking style... (full blown lunatic) DEAL WITH IT.
for themes, at least, use metamorph. you could easily come up with that through a google search and maybe 5 or 10 minutes of looking around. though you probably are gonna be using 1.6 aosp for theming with metamorph. so that means no sense.
roms.... not gonna happen lol.
Well essentially recovery is what you are talking about...
I mean in regards to cutting out the work to be able to flash a rom, you can't do it. You are always going to need root access, and really the reason I assume we use recovery in the first place is that it is not running on the ROM/etc, its outside what we are trying to mod.
I mean say someone came up with a simple apk, released to market and etc for installing roms. How would you run the apk? You can't flash over the rom while still using it.
Plus I would say it is probably a good thing for people to approach the learning curve to modding the device. Flashing while not understanding what you are doing and stuff could potentially be risky. Imagine an app in the market and how many people would brick their phone from doing things they would have originally learned not to do.

id just like to see more custom roms and themes come out like the gsm version has.
What I think the OP is talking about, is something like Preware for the Palm Pre, where you can download whatever it is to be modified through Preware, and then Preware reboots the phone/Luna (windows manager) depending on what is being modified, and then the changes are done. But then again, Preware can't change ROM's, only skins, etc.
I have been a user of Windows for long lomg time and have loved it when I had the liberty to flash clean cooked ROMS onto my device. Rarely, I stuck to Stock ROM's or over bloated ones no matter how stable!
Will we ever see the light of day when the streak will get to see some cooked ROM's which are not bloated with added apps?
I got my Streak bout a fortnight ago - so far tested and mostly fixed on downloaded apps - but really pissed as I still have crap on my streak which I do not use - why do we need to live with this?
Am now looking to dump the 2.1 - but sceptical as I nee many bricks flying around for units purchased online direct from Dell....
I really hope to see some cook - take the initiative and start cooking some clean workable ROM's
I am sure it will not be long before you have your wish, Paul over at Modaco is the main Cook at the moment nip over he has a custom ROM

I have no idea what you're talking about. What 'bloated' ROMs?
Why don't you just open the update.zip, remove all the crap you don't need, resign it, done. Or, just uninstall the apps you don't want? It's not exactly hard to do.
You also sound incredibly ungrateful, these devs put A LOT of hard work into these ROMs and you just complain about a few apps they've included? If you don't like it, why don't YOU start making ROMs. This thread is essentially just pure laziness on your part.
Wow. "why do we need to live with this?" It's not essential to life, It's a ROM. grow up.

Chill out Meltus.
Am not sitting here to start another debate on disrespecting Chef's - never had that intention anyway if you had read my post with a clear mind! - I have been a user of custom cooked ROM's since the days of XDA IIs and never had a reply of such.
My title read - 'Moved from windows' - which implied that I am new to Android and still experimenting - infact I am still on my stock ROM on my dell online purchased unit and was only lookign for a way to uninstall Touchdown etc to save on space in memory.
Thanks for the tip on changing update.zip - now I have a solution which I can look into!
I said we dont need to live with this and it was not pointed to any Chef - it was pointed to Dell - who have installed all crap on the unit (which I am trying to remove) and being in a forum - you will have to appreciate - we all have the right to ask questions - some may be good and some naive!
So mine was naive - and thanks for your answers.

Ah, I apologise, I thought you were referring to ROM developers, sorry
Anyway, if you want to open the zip, remove stuff, and then sign it again, you'll need the signing tool - http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html

Haha, i think it's almost impossible to brick the streak at the moment, you can always just fastboot flash the stock recovery image then flash the stock update.pkg from Dell!
I'm a weak f***er so that's out of the question
I too have come from WM and have been using it since it came out in '98. One thing I miss is the ability to view and tweak the registry. Like on the HD2 just change
'Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P2\ EncodeFormat' to '2147483647' and you have loads of additional video recording formats!
You can also remove ROM apps by using Root Explorer (need rooted phone obviously) and removing the offending /apk files from /system/apps and then clearing the Dalvik-cache and rebooting.
I just flashed the 2.1 ROM on my AT&T/US Streak and got rid of Touchdown and Amazon MP3. No more icons I don't use, nor widgets to scroll through.
here's a good guide to it:

Good luck.
Be careful about removing ROM apps, ive done this a few times and then i got endless process error....eeeek :S

Good to know. I was wondering if it was so easy, why would everyone care about what apps are installed if you can just zap em if you don't want them. Well thankfully I developed no ill effects from my deletions, and I removed those I really didn't want.
I'm not enough of a linux/Android gear head to know better. I'm a pretty good Windows gear head, but never knew Linux well which is too bad with all the cool Androids coming along in the handheld space. Oh well, learning new tricks is good too i suppose...
thanks
Ok so I got about 4 pages of hate from loads of trolls gathering on one thread just because I forgot to add credits which I know is something unacceptable but still after adding them I still got hate (i think their blind as well), so I removed the rom forgetting some people really liked it and want it. After removing I got 4 PMS to bring the rom back so I will start a new thread tomorrow morning for the rom, trolls not allowed

There was no hate, you used the work of minimum 10 people, who spent a lot of time in things "your rom" is based on. Maybe you should read your posts again and rethink. You are full of anger at the moment, please calm down and accept your fault. Yes, you spent time by yourself. But if everybody behaves like you at the moment, we can carry xda to it's grave. Consider that.
And finally, keep working, keep learning, keep mention other devs.
It wasn't about trolls&hate.. it was about you wanting credit for making a nice rom but not giving any credit to the people who facilitated what you made.
Doc's rom wasn't just something that just magically appeared through thin air, it took him time and effort, same with hardcore's kernel, sztupy's ultk, supercurio's colour and brightness fix, tayutama's extended menu.. and whoever else you 'borrowed' stuff from.
Next time i hope you are clear about what you have done i.e. themed doc's rom and added some stuff (be specific). The good thing about Doc's rom is that he makes it so it's highly customisable, nice and clean, so people can add what they want.
I can understand that you thought it was good to make it easier for people to use your themes, no one can fault you for that. I think it would have been better for you to make your changes to a stock rom and then learn about all the changes that those other guys made and add them bit by bit much in the same way as other roms developed.. but you took the easy way and borrowed their work without asking if you could or even crediting them for their hard work.
I guess you will know better next time.

Agreed.
All everyone is saying is that you should have credited the devs who created the main stuff, cause i looked at your thread and i know you mean good for the community, but it looked like a mashup of Axura's ROM with others on the board.
Just mention names next time, non of this emotional XDA stuff will happen
Hi. Downloaded ultimate rom. really like it, but I am having one problem. The accelerometer is off. Left tilt is down, down tilt is left. Really messing up my games, and the screen rotate is frustrating. Tried searching, but couldn't find anything. Am I missing something?
Edit: I an also unable to get any games or videos and music to play sounds....
Okay. Got it figured out. Dl'd the captivate ported version. Works great now.

not the place to be posting ROM problems pal, that should be in the ROM thread.
Is there a custom rom out there somewhere for the Motorola Flipside? I have the phone and I hate motorola blur, Is there something like AOSP. Something simple and fast?
I don't think anyone has cooked up a custom ROM for the Flipside. The phone's not really supported and known by most people. Everything is for higher end Android phones.
I have ADW EX on my Captivate over a ROM, and put it on my girlfriends Flipside. It's definitely a step up because of the animations, themes and options with the launcher. Honestly... Motoblur is hideous.
The Flipside runs pretty well if your root it and remove the AT&T stuff. I use LauncherPro as my home app.
Edit: don't add your social networks as Blur accounts. Use the Android FB widget and other apps to access that info.
+1 for ADW Launcher, between that and removing most of the motoblur / AT&T stuff with Titanium Backup the interface gets much better. I'm sad that I'm still stuck with the motoblur contacts/dialer, but at least I was able to use the modded messaging app from Cyanogen 5.

Try Dialer One. Very nice free dialer.
Thanks for the suggestion, that's almost exactly what I was looking for.
how are the devices working out with just all the att stuff removed
Being edited for accuracy...
I wanted to install a custom rom for my sisters flipside, cause she was impressed with the way my G1 looked.
It's not a terrible phone, so long as I can remove all the AT&T crap.
Ok everyone. beings that there is not a custom rom for the flipside yet. what say you about looking at some roms from the backflip and seeing if therre is a way to port them through to the flipside?
As the flipside i have in my hands is kinda a loner from my niece as i am trying to hook it up fpor her the best i can. there really is not alot of options out there for this.
As i run an xperia x10 this is just something to play with for me a few days a week if that.
but am willing to work on some roms if someone can point me in the right direction of what i might need to modify.

If you're really determined, you can visit Cyanogen's forum, and I'm sure people there will direct you.
The only really big downside to the Flipside is its screen resolution. Otherwise, it's a pretty up to date photo.
help please =D
Sooo i have a motorla flipside, its i decent phone i think. But as you all said i dont like the ATT interface and whatnot.. so how do i go about removing the ATT crap and replacing it with a new launcher or whatever? And what launcher should i use? I also want to be sure that i cant somehow ruin my phone lol
if you can help thank you!
ADWEX for the user interface
Titanium backup to freeze all ATT bloatware and make it disappear from the menu.
There are a few ppl working on custom Flipside ROMs...one PM'd me in a modmymobile forum and said he'd have at least a recovery done by yesterday...i'm guessing something set him back but something will be coming soon!
So I asked the guy doing work on the Flipside recovery and this is what he said:
The flipout recovery apk looks like it may work as is from the flipout forum, but may only backup/restore/ system folder using an older cwm recovery, so you have an existing backup option i think..
I'm trying to dice it up w more specific files, updated recovery w the ability to mount/unmount all the partitions for full backups and wipes of personal data from the recovery.. maybe a day or 2?

has there been a follow-up on what's being done? I've been seeing different things for example:
"How to Root, Uninstall Bloatware, and de-activate moto-blur for Motorola Flipside"
It seems pretty legit but the guy says that some programs end up not working, I don't really know how to directlink the site but thats the title exactly without the quotation marks, and i keep seeing things about clockworkmod being made for the flipside but its a ROM manager that doesn't seem to find "my device".
Anyway, thats what i've seen so far, and I know it takes a while to get a response but I feel that the flipside is a pretty nice phone, it would be great if I could do more with it, as i'm sure most of us feel that way

If you're talking about [http]androidforums[com]/flipside-all-things-root/345440-how-root-uninstall-bloatware-de-activate-moto-blur-motorola-flipside.html
then that site seems to be providing good information. i DEFINITELY would flash a recovery rom (such as polovinomozka's, his code seems to be pretty solid, although i have yet to test it. i do not have a flipside yet) and then perform a nandroid backup BEFORE doing any removal, just in case of irreparable damage i also would not recommend even trying to remove anything blur related as it will definitely make your phone unstable seeing how the whole system is based on blur. You can remove the ATT apps, but blur has to stay until there is a custom rom made without the blur built into it.
Hope this proves to be of some use to someone.
Last I've heard from one of the guys working on stuff is this:
yeah, i'm gonna see bout compiling from source the recovery apk that dexter derived his flipout recovery from and modify the hijack binary to work w the flipside (its only a couple small partition setting changes). if it works out, the cwm recovery should work flawlessly w /system /data /cache and /sd partitions, we're just locked down on the boot and recovery. (the ones we're using are fake or bootstrapped recoveries, not actually replacing the stock one)
If they're working a release of froyo for the Flipside, I'd be more then happy to make a donation for the cause. Love the phone, but I'm dieing for 2.2.
So check this out...I messaged the guy at modmymobile and asked how things were going becuase I heard people were having problems getting an updated CMW and this is his response:
"been sittin on the updated cwm recovery binaries and been draggin my feet/takin a break the past week or 2. i'll throw something out soon, but cant commit to a timeframe, sorry."
Looks like things are on the up and up...stay patient everyone
To start off with I am impressed with some of the newer builds of the wp7 os on hd2 as they have included the hd7 phone id built into rom making the Chevron mod very simple, but there are few more issues
1 there are many issues with live services even after u input os key
2 there are errors when it come to communicating with live services to download apps
3 phone still restart many times and will some times go into what i call a dead sleep ( its where phone goes into standby and will not go back into unlock screen) you have to wait 3-4 minutes and even then u r lucky if u don't have to pull out battery and reset phone.
4 although newer builds often allow u to have more unregistered apps working they still have communication issues with wifi/network
5. camera is working on some builds but after picture is taken it comes out a bit green
The point for this thread is for u to post your links to your favorite builds of the wp7 and help future development buy discussing pros and cons to different builds

LINK: http://hotfile.com/dl/106013534/837ae7f/elMInStER.blackSideSeven.1.2.7004.rar.html
rom has built in Chevron
and phone id is HD7
when u install language is in Polish so just change it to English or what ever language u want
I have had more luck with this build than any other one i have used it is much less buggie than the other builds i have tried, if u don't mind changing the language give this rom a try
All the builds are more or less the same at this point, this thread is completley useless. Future rom dev is helped by replying to the devs topics with issues etc.
I have none of teh issues you have, everything worked fine and no restarts. The green issue though is a well known bug.
PS. How has the rom got a built in "kitchen" , A kitchen is what is used to build a rom, So im confused on how the rom could have a kitchen built in?

+1.... I completely agree.
The only difference between roms right now is the lockscreen and maybe a theme color or 2. They all have same tweaks and features.
I think a lot of the issues that the op is having sounds like they may be cause by a sd card that wp7 doesn't like... try using a different sd card. Class 2 or 4 sandisk are usually good.

Okay look the point to this thread is for people to simply discuss roms they like and give quick links to rom ect.. yes people can simply reply on the actual developers threads, but the point to this is for people to discuss what the like and dont like about different roms without having to go to the various threads, so this is not a useless thread... And yes the green cam is a well know bug but, all i was doing was stating some of the most common bugs, and although u may not have some of the other ones im sure there are people out there who experience the same ones

pretty much everything on your list is SD card related and effects all ROMs if you have a dodgy card, available ROMs are just clones of the original release with a few mods which they all use, the reason for this is its virtually impossible to make the same kind of changes as in android or WM..
the green tint on camera is a driver issue, which can not be solved with cooks, the market place issues are largely SD related but the freeze is very much a MS bug, the main battery issue which you didnt mention is driver related
im not saying this thread has no point, but i am saying your a bit too early,
but in the spirit of the thread
Dont bother with any other rom just now, there is no point with patches just around the corner that no one on here is capable of using, other than the DFT team, many of the bugs on these other roms were created only after the rom was fiddled with in the first place, however, if your not capable of following the instructions and installing the DFT release than use one of the newer ones as its much much easier

There are no pros and cons to the different roms because they are all the same... same build, same tweaks... only difference is maybe lockscreen and theme colors. Thats why there is no point to a thread like this yet... not until there is a difference between roms.
Also, if your phone is restarting and having issues with it going to sleep like you said, that is caused by using a sd card not compatible with wp7. Many of your other problems are probably also caused by that. Try a different SD card. Anyone having problems with the phone restarting ever or any lag or freezing should try a different sd card. Problems like that are not from specific roms... like I said, all the roms work pretty much exactly the same.

To start off with I am impressed with some of the newer builds of the wp7 os on hd2 as they have included the hd7 phone id built into rom making the Chevron mod very simple, but there are few more issues
1 there are many issues with live services even after u input os key
2 there are errors when it come to communicating with live services to download apps
3 phone still restart many times and will some times go into what i call a dead sleep ( its where phone goes into standby and will not go back into unlock screen) you have to wait 3-4 minutes and even then u r lucky if u don't have to pull out battery and reset phone.
4 although newer builds often allow u to have more unregistered apps working they still have communication issues with wifi/network
5. camera is working on some builds but after picture is taken it comes out a bit green
The point for this thread is for u to post your links to your favorite builds of the wp7 and help future development buy discussing pros and cons to different builds

Ok, i edited my post a little to make it more clear that I was agreeing with you.
agreed @ this thread is pretty pointless until there are actual differences in the ROMs. Otherwise there is no actual use to anyone.

i agree to, all the roms are the same expect some language. other the that
you still have to do the same
Problem with phone shuting off? it's your memory card
can't use marketplace? activate you phone that's it.
Problem with one side working on your headphones when
talking on the phone? Shut off xbox live restart phone that should work.
well it works for me.
