Here is where I am now. I rooted my Galaxy S Vibrant and applied the lag fix. So far so good. I really want to have Android 2.2 but I do not want to lose any features. Can someone help me with this. I hear people talking about finding the best rom but is there a 2.2 upgrade that everyone likes the best?

Hello there.
I got this phone on Christmas Day, and am really enjoying it. It is my first smartphone and I used to have an iPod Touch before this, so switching to this was really easy and seamless (for me, anyway)
With recent news that Samsung are not updating the Apollo i5801 until April or something, I want to know if I can update it, and how? I am on Eclair 2.1 and want to go up to 2.2.
I am a complete n00b at this, so be gentle please
Thanks in advance.

hi
pls search and read in the devlopment section their are enough topics on this subject
thread CLOSED
difficult here to keep an overview, so I'll stick to CM7.
great works.
Like with any other new rom... you will find many problems and bugs.
DID happen the same with CM7... so I don't see the question about this.
It is a BETA 1 version, what are you expecting ?!??!?
pfffffff.... people want miracles and problem free solutions... but allways want to be on the edge... that is simply not possible.... pffffffffff
I expect nothing but I think the people have done a very good working
that's really all I was saying?!
that's my opinion...
Question here folks whats the best rom and kernal have you used? I use the latest Miui rom, but get random reboots and freezes and crashes. WTF stuff is this? I love the fact of the devs helping out, but, its almost like the MT4G is still releasing new roms and people aren't staying with it. Don't get me wrong, but i'm constantly having issues with roms anymore than what it has been for some time now. I will however be upgrading to the SGIII when it comes out, but for the time being. I just want something more stable than what it was using. I don't hin the EXT 4 is good for MT4G. Its much more than what the hardware has than what EXT 3 had. Anyone feel the same? Let me know thanks
Doesn't exist. A simple search would have told you that there is no "best" rom/kernel. Its all personal preference.
We already have that annoying thread "[What's the best custom ROM for mt4g]"...about 10 pages of answers. Guy didn't respond once. Seriously, there is no "BEST" ROM. A feature may not be working that someone can't live without meanwhile you don't ever use.
Please forgive me if I am in the wrong place. I am trying to figure out where I should post my questions. First off is does anyone know if Kit Kat will be coming to Metro PCS Hydro life any time soon. I have heard that Kyocera has already released an update to Metro. I had a kernel update not too long ago.
So is the the place to ask for android development on the Kyocera Hydro Life? If not, where? Also if there is no interest in developing for a $50-$30 water resistant and impact resistant phone with a quad core and 1.5 gb ram and a qHD screen and an 8gb rom space and expandable 32gb sd card and I have no clue as to why??? I understand this is no Nexus 6 but it is a cool budget phone and the stock software is rather poor. It works but really I would love just a stock kit kat or lolipop on this phone. A custom kernel and rom could really make this thing fly for the cost. I think as a dev it is really an engineering challenge to make a stock device with some strengths and limitations really show its potential. SO please some dev somewhere try to help unlock the bootloader and give us the freedom to really use our phone!
My second question as a total newb to android development is with all the tutorials and reading it is a lot of information so if I was to try and attempt to unlock the bootloader and develop a recovery in a very easy to understand way I would love some help. know there are guides but I have serious add issues and to try and sift through I will simply get lost. I have had so much help from the XDA community and reaped so many benefits I figure it is my time to try to give back but it would be really helpful for me to get a clue on where to begin and go from there! You can pm me or post here if that is o.k. and maybe others who may be interested could try too. At first I think a custom recovery and unlocking the bootloader would be as far as I would like to go so I do not get to ahead of myself.
So I thank you to anyone who can either help me learn what I need to get the bootloader unlocked and write a custom recovery or ideally a experienced Dev who could take up the cause. I am grateful for any help on this!! Thanks!

Hello Robbbzilla,
Thank you for posting that question, I also have a Kyocera Hydro Life, which over not so much time went down in value and now is discontinued on the network I used (metropcs). Which in and of itself, baffles me because it is probably the Best budget friendly phone I have ever had. I enjoy this phone so much that instead of upgrading to the next best thing, I have bought 3 of these off of people on Craigslist instead. Well worth it in my book. Any how, I am on my 4th one now and it's not because they always break or freeze up, or become sluggish or for any other phone problem, its because this particular phone has been stolen 3 times from me, and lost once!
On this particular phone (which I am using now) I decided I'd try the whole root idea which worked fantastic, however, I am still looking for a custom ROM and Kernel.
So my question to you is, Did you ever figure this out? Or did Anyone help you out with finding one?
I know this post was from a little while ago but would REALLY Appreciate ANY insight you or anyone else may have.
Again, thank you for such a clear, and well articulated question!

Hello, I'm a self taught techie currently exploring the world of custom ROMS. Only by accident did I really have to start using custom ROMS but now I rather enjoy them. Unfortunately I can't, for life of me, find a really nice ROM for my Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (t230nu). Can you guys provide me with some good suggestions? Also I installed the Prism Barebones ROM and I like the speed that I have with it but unfortunately I lost a lot of my graphics for the games that I play. Can anyone provide any suggestions? Then on a side note, I'm looking for a rooting method for the new update to the LG G Vista for android 5.1.1 I've been keeping an eye out for anything and have yet to see a single thing. Suggestions and links would be greatly appreciated, also really interested in learning programming for some Android software if anyone has any good suggestions for a beginner.
