I see posts about cyanogen no longer officially supporting the vibrant, and although I DO like CM, I don't support the concept that it should be the end all be all of rom designs. Many of the custom roms I've seen on XDA offer specialized mods that may never make it to the CM roms..
That said, I haven't developed any roms, but I have seen plenty of people claim they are willing to help and have varying levels of experience. I've downloaded the source code for ICS and am wanting to find any devs or people willing to go through the learning process to try to make ICS work for vibrants.
I saw this thread [DEV] ICS port for I9000/I9000B - ALPHA (ICS sources) - work in progress and realize perhaps we can port that over if they get it working, but we would still need to organize people who are willing to work on some sort of project.
Our device is far from defunct, there are still people modding the OG droid that has far inferior specs, so all we need are people who are willing to keep the vibrant alive. It is a good phone, and should have community support until it truly IS defunct.
Thoughts, volunteers, devs have any input? Please no flaming, just because some may not think this is worthwhile or even possible, I know there are many that would appreciate the possibilites that exist.
We have a good port now....Check in the devolvement forums.

This is the one im using now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961 it has a few bugs but all in all its pretty stable.
its amazing
Now recruiting everyone, and i mean everyone from devs, themers, rom porters, testers, everyday users, everyone that loves their old phone and wants to see the development live on.
The only requirement is to work toward the common goal of seeing our old HTC devices live on.
Team Legacy: Greasing the Wheels for HTC Android Legacy Devices.
We may not have the newest, spankiest devices, but by god we just wont quit.
If anyone can think up a logo or a new motto, please do.
Between the eris, the hero, and the heroc, we are all in this together.
Great idea. At this stage there are so few developers working on legacy devices, with some devices having no active development at all.
It makes sense to have a 'pool' of Developers brought together; able to work on multiple devices.
Give people the option to donate a second-hand device to 'Team Legacy.' This could be done by either someone sending a device they no longer want, or starting a fund and having people donate what they can to buy a specific device for the team. That device could even be circulated among them by post if necessary.
Progress might take months instead of weeks, but at least we would have progress!
Motto idea: Development requires skill; not new hardware.
I'm in this! We should keep the old devices pumping!
Reviving old good roms, building on stock, sense, froyo, gb, ics, it doesn't matter, as long as we have something to flash - everyone is happy!
I will soon make a sense 2.0 rom (stock one, with lots of customizations and tweaks that hopefully will make the greatest sense rom stock ever) and I will need testers and/or developers/modders that want to give an idea or a mod to this project!
I'd love to be a part of this, and with my new CM9 rom, i think we have a stable and fast ICS rom for all legacy devices
And ill be sure to port over your paranoid android rom and add the tweaks from my CM9 rom to boost speed significantly!
So who's in team legacy so far?
Also i have an extra htc hero gsm if anyone would be willing to trade for a hero cdma or Eris?

Will do
In my opinion this idea needs to be cross-posted for all HTC Android Legacy Devices to get maximum attention and to attract contributors to the project.
It would be also great to see this stickied in the Development section for all those devices.

This would be great for all armv6 devices
We could use aroma installer in order to get one rom booting on several devices, this would mean we have more devs working on the same rom
I could create the aroma scripts with help from whoshotjr2006 regarding porting help.
jordfaz,
that was exactly what i was thinking of when i posted this lol. aroma is one hell of a tool, and if we could create 1 rom instead of 3, and just use aroma in order to make it work on all 3 devices, then that would be one heck of an ideal situation.
1ceb0x, jordfaz and lost101, welcome to Team Legacy!
benjamingwynn had posted .sense a while back, and while it didnt work on heroc, (not sure about hero) he had a great idea. one grand unifying rom that encompasses many devices, instead of 10 different roms for 10 different devices.
some early possible candidates for inclusion into Team Legacy are the G1, and the wildfire(buzz), and we already have eris, hero and heroc.
Also the way i see it is we already have many honorary members, such as the guys we ported from. Membership is just a matter of being a team player. Everyone that uses our devices in any way is a member already, we all just didnt know it until now lol.
As a policy, i would like to have open arms for any old devices, just so long as they have at least one guy to port/dev roms. that way since its hard for us to get other devices, everyone is represented in the process. Samsung, LG, Moto, they are all welcome.
It should work alright. We need a place to talk. Gtalk?

And has anyone created a logo for team legacy yet? I tried and failed :silly:
Im interested in joining Team Legacy. I have an HTC Hero GSM, im trying to port MIUI v4 on it, and later probably MIUI v3
welcome to team legacy! we are glad to have you. im cooking up something in the works that will hopefully help out the way roms are installed right now, and more details will come hopefully very soon.
any way you can contribute, we are glad to have you!
It would be cool to make a team legacy social group here on XDA, we had one on HTC Tattoo. So all devs can make a thread there on their alpha builds to be tested or ask for help off forums.

Hi all
I am new here, and yes I am not a developer, as well as, I am so happy that I have been moved to SGS3 after using iPhone. Android world is amazing. The reason I am posting such thread, its because I want to share my little experience with ROMs for the SGS3.
I used to use the Cyanogenmod 10 the nightlies, with some issues and bugs are there, and I was looking for such ROM which can handle the Daily use without any problem, finally I found this one Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.2, which is the best in my opinion for those who are using the CM10 nightlies until they CM team come out with the stable mode.
it is in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815285
I used it, it is stable, battery friendly and smooth, no issues at all.
I am just sharing my experiences, because I was mistaken when I was thinking about CM10 is the best yet, but when I try the RR I found out, the truth.
I would like to thank the management of the forum, and the members as well, and I am so sorry if there is any typos mistakes or such things, because my native language is the Arabic.
I am from Dubai, and I am so happy to be a member here.
regards

Still, the words "best" and "rom" shouldn't be used in the same sentence. "best rom" threads aren't allowed whether you're asking for the specifically or you're stating which the best rom is. It's all a matter of one's own preferences.
Not one of these threads again. :thumbdown:

Welcome to xda.
First of all, congratulations on your phone choice. It was certainly a change for the better. :good:
Now, on the topic of ROM preference, please visit this thread and read about "Best ROM" is considered around here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935514
Hope you enjoy Android as much as we all here do. I picked S3 over iPhone 5 and do not regret my decision one bit.
So sorry guys, I wanted to help others. Thats why I used these words.
Again and again, Thank you very much.
appreciate all the replies.

No bashing or favoritism based on the dev please, but...
I've been away from xda for months and I'm getting bored with my current setup so I'm looking for some opinions on what rom is top dog right now and why you like it.
Any help at all would be awesome. I'm looking for a speedy rom with decent battery (doesn't have to be amazing) with good customization options. Thanks!
Ready?
Go!

If you like TouchWiz setups, there are several great devs in that department. Firstly I'd check out @TEKHD's ROM. It's amazing, stable, and feature rich with his personal touches.
Another notable dev would be @dr.ketan. He's done a great job on an S6 TW port for our phones. It's stable and full of features as well.
My personal favorite dev is @ZION959. He's got 2 completely awesome AOSP ROM's he maintains and does kernel work for them himself. I love his cmRemiX, so much so that I have not tried his slimRemiX. Personal preference completely due to liking the CM theme engine over layers. His ROM's are both feature packed as well and very stable.
All that said, all three devs are active in their perspective threads and all have their great little communities of helpful people in the threads. Plus several of us that are ROM flash-a-holics that cross over into various threads.
There are many seriously great ROM's available and these are simply ones I tried myself. Read around in the different threads to see how vanilla or feature rich you like your phone. But my advice is to give these three devs a chance first and see how the ROM's fit you and your phone.
Happy hunting and happy Halloween!

What is good for others, maybe is no good for you -that's why there is more than one ROM-.
On that note, thread closed.
Hi All
There are a lot of MM roms for Bacon
Thanks to all the Devs for Roms
You can share as to what you like the most in the comments section
Please Note all the Roms are moslty in WIP or Alpa or unofficial.
Try them as your own risk.
This voting is not to discriminate any Rom/Dev but just to see which is the most loved Rom
i did not work on developing of any of these Roms, I do not take the credit for any of these roms
NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE ANY INTENTION TO HURT ANY FEELINGS OF ANY DEV OR ROM USER, PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR SUGGESTIONS IF ANY
Pointless thread. For one, all MM ROMs are in their infant stages and lack any "real" features that any of the teams have on 5.1 and below. That's like comparing oranges to oranges and threads like this are bound to bring comparisons and heat. Thread needs to be closed.
kitkat
I'd vote for all of them, because any work towards bring MM to our phone is greatly appreciated. They're all going about it in a slightly different way, and are at different stages. This is great to see, as it results in a variety of great choices once projects mature. Thanks to all the devs, keep up the great work!
This is my favorite version of "marshmallow".. ;p

Those are cute
There is another MM-Rom, http :// test.sungsonic .co I've installed T1 and its working pretty good!
It smells like this thread is going to be deleted.
IIRC, threads comparing roms are against xda rules.
TugaPower is really nice so far at least...but this is just a post in an attempt to get my 10 post so I can participate in discussions
The best ROM is the one that works best for you.
