[Q] Good roms for mt4g - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running evil muiu for my mt4g but are having issues with the wifi connectivity and also with the 4g reception. It bounces from the "H" to 3G and even back to crappy Edge sometimes. Any good stable roms would be appreciated

I tried all the other ROMS out there and if functionality is what you're looking for, I would stick with the ICE Glacier rom. Everything works and its fast! I use to switch up rom's everyday but always go back to Ice. No wifi issues, FFC works, navi and all that good stuff. I ran CM6 for a week but it was still missing some of the functions. Ill probably rum CM7 when everything works. You cant go wrong with the Glacier Rom. Just install ADW or LPP and customize it to your liking.

good link for the Glacier you run?

Just dload v1.1.4, it just came out 2 days ago. Its fast and has awsome battery life!
Oh..make sure you do a backup and wipe data, wipe cache before flashing it. You probably already know that.

one more quick question, any way to get rid of all that [email protected] blue lol, id prefer a unthemed rom...also have you ever ran evil 4g hd v0.2.2-1.72.405.3??

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844594
just install the unthemed version

unthemed links on the forum are dead

Im not to fond of the blue also. I just installed the "unthemed" version and use LPP as a launcher. I might be in the minority but I like the Sense UI over plain froyo, I like the functions, dialer, widgets . Heres a screenie of what I'm running at the moment. Hope this helps...
​

like that lakeshow...like i was saying earlier i could open the link for the unthemed, anychance u can post a direct link to it for me?

Dload it directly from your phone. The ROM will be in the dowload folder when its finished. Flash the file from there. You cant dlaod it from a PC, it gives a blank page but the download should work directly on your MT4G.

I have to agree 100% w/ Lakeshow423. Once I installed ClockworkMod Recovery and flashed a new recovery, I was going to try out CM6, Gorilla's, Ice, etc.
I went with Ice Glacier first, after reading everyone's positive reviews. That and it's still the HTC Sense UI, which I wanted. I used a G1 for years so I've had plenty of the vanilla Android experience.
Also, I am not experiencing any issues downloading the latest (1.1.4) release @...

It's downloading just fine (at least right now, so if it's not for you, it should be back soon)...

I actually installed the themed version first, thinking I'd like the cool blue trim/accents. It actually ended up being a bit much for me and I found myself longing for the unthemed version. I couldn't be happier with this ROM. For those looking to "keep things the same," but want to get more speed, a better user experience and a bit better battery life (via SetCPU), I think Ice Glacier is the wiener.
Add to that, the devs working on it - teamsilence and NOTXEL21 - have been nothing but nice and quick to release updates. The ROMs are pretty much near perfect. There was an issue in 1.1.3 with WiFi hotspot (an issue w/ the included kernel) and they pretty much immediately released, 1.1.4 with a fix (downgraded kernel). Add to that, the devs are already "teasing" Gingerbread. Please, do not take this as, "shlongwoodian said they're releasing a Gingerbread ROM." I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying these two devs seem like cool guys and they're doing great work...and I'll stick with them for updates, not TMO or HTC.
I like Sense, so I wasn't looking to theme/mod my interface too much. I think my "almost-standard-issue" home screen is quite sexy, if you ask me...
Going to Ice Glacier is the best thing you can do for your HTC Glacier. I can't stress enough, to do a Titanium backup first (verify it too) and then before flashing/deleting or doing ANYTHING in recovery, do a Nandroid backup first!

Is there currently a rom for the MT4G that is vanilla?

Yep, Cyanogen is Sense-less and will give you the vanilla Android feel.
Hands down, Ice Glacier is where it's at, IMHO. Our employee wanted vanilla and tried Cyanogen - he ended up back at Ice Glacier.
It all comes down to personal preference, both with the ROM itself and the dev(s). I get a good feel from both with Ice Glacier.
The good thing is, you can try em all! Make a Nandroid, try and if ya don't like, flash another ROM.
Those iPhone girlies don't have that luxury.
[[[Ice Glacier beats Rock ~ via XDA App]]]

I like the phone exactly as it comes from T-Mobile. All I wish I could do is remove stuff I don't use like news, stocks, and some of the games. I would also like to do screen shots, and it wouldn't hurt if it were faster, maybe load different themes. Aside from that, I like everything as its meant to be and find this blue to be quite annoying.

lol nice.
just to be helpful, here's a quote from a post of mine.
ok, here goes.
first of all, yes this has been asked a thousand times per day, but people have fun answering them
sense roms are based off stock evo sprint software. if you like sense roms, you best choices will be:
myn's warm twopointtwo, for a smooth, themed, and slick stockish experiance, try this oldie but goodie.
mikfroyo, updated more often. optimized way over the top. i personally don't like the theme, and think if you want that speed go for aosp, but whatever. a bunch of people like it.
koni's elite. one of the newer good sense roms. good themeing. fast. optimized. everything else the other two have, just different...
aosp roms are based off stock google source code. they are not built for the evo (or until like 2 weeks ago, not built for sprint, cdma, or wimax) but have been ported exelently. these are much faster than sense, and about half the size. they have a different look, feel, and functionality though. they are based on gingerbread, not froyo like stock evo.
cm7 (cyanogenmod 7): simply the best. most other aosp roms based off of this. a gigantic project that spans across ~30 phones with ~24 official developers and many more unnoficially contributing to the open sourced code. fast, stable, WORKING 4G AND HDMI!!! (took monts to do those 2). everything works (except 720p video recording, but 480 is just as good). really, try this one first. nightlys are released every night, stables are not. you can see the very complicated changelog along with links here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
miui: based (sorta i think) off cm7. very iphone-like rom. built to have the best of iphone and android, with some added goodies. i persoanlly don't like it, but many swear by it. sorta a you like it or you don't thing. 4g doesn't work.
deck's: another cm7 based rom. basically slimmed down cm7. idk why you'd need to slim something already half the size of sense down further, but some people claim unreal battery life. 4g and hdmi also work cuz it's based on cm7
savagedzen rom: NOT built from cm7 (yes, this is a bragging right), very stock gingerbread, with lots of kernel tweaks. not based on cm7, yet 4g and hdmi work.
salvagemod: even more stock gingerbread. 4g works. not hdmi.
ports: the name explains it all. 4g doens't work for these, except the rare exceptions. virus is the one who's ripping out port after port after port recently.
a sense hd port: mik and myn both have one of these. froyo with sense 2.1. no 4g.
virus gingersense: sense 2.1, gingerbread. no 4g, but the rest is working.
virus kingdom port: based on an unreleased, unrevealed device called the htc kingdom. 4G WORKS. still in deep beta. sense 3.0, and gingerbread. sense 3.0 is pretty crazy.
so yeah. i personally use cm7 with tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and a modnation theme (whichever we r testing). try as many as u like. if you like it, make a backup.
I remember that post.
And yes, I support CM7 + Tiamat Kenel. Game WINNER.

[ROM] 666th Sense V1.1 - Retro (2.1) - 7/17/2011

I've decided to run it Retro for a little bit. This is a 2.1 Sense ROM based on the March 2011 OTA for the HTC Eris. As of right now everything seems to be working very smoothly. The Rom is default O/C at 710400 with on demand governor. Min CPU speed default is at 19200. You can easily change the cpu speeds and governors with setcpu or Conaps CPUBoost. I've also went ahead and changed the kernel to zanfurs kernel by popular request. If you want to use Conaps it can be flashed from recovery. There's also been a ton of other tweals I've added with some help from HaRdC0r3 so a big thanks to him for his input on this.
credits:
zanfur - kernel
btfb0 - all his work catching the OTA and sharing with us
Make sure you perform a nand backup before flashing. Also.. as always, what you do with your device is you're ultimate decision. No one has told you nor forced you to do anything so if anything happens to your device it's no one's fault but your own.
I recommend a full wipe on this update. All updates after this I plan to try and keep as dalvik only.

I wouldn't mind going back to Sense for some nostalgia, but I'm not sure if its worth dropping GB.
From what you got tested before the phone decided to go parachuting, minus the parachute, how does it compare speed wise compared to GB ROMs?

I honestly didn't think there was much difference in speed. I also had not o/c'd it at all. I was running it at stock which is 528. It can easily be oc'd with conap's CPUBoost or Set CPU as well. But I personally didn't think it was a noticeable difference from GB.
Dude you got a sick sense of development
Welcome to porting...
Ok. I flashed this bad boy last night. It is very smooth and fast. Of course it is 2.1 though. But really to me, when you have a phone like the Eris, trying to put 2.3 on it is pointless. Im liking this Rom. Plain and runs great. I think a black keyboard with white and gray lettering would be awesome. Good job man

Edit: I have found one problem. GAPPS is force closing on me. Every few minutes it will do it.
Edit 2: the market for some reason won't start downloads at all. It was working last night. I have cleared cache and uninstalled updates still nothing
im liking the background lol do i flash gapps still? and will that sense theme work that you made for tazz's rom? or is that a different 2.? thingy lol

Out of curiosity, why do you feel this way?
I have tried many of the 2.3 Roms on my Eris and have always had a great experience with them. 2.1 wasn't bad either. It was the trivial things that made me want to leave 2.1 and try a newer rom.

Well every 2.3 Rom I have tried hasn't been the smoothest. I was just saying that the Eris is getting dated. It is cool though that we are able to put it on if we want to. 2.1 is just so smooth that I find it hard to leave. I like both sense and aosp but if I can find a smooth sense Rom, ill take that any day.

Thanks. I am with you on Sense. I have always enjoyed it. It's what drew me to the HTC offerings when I dumped ATT and my iPhone.
Just 2.1 underneath made a little less enjoyable for me. Not that it wasn't smooth or anything like that but things like when I get a notification while I am listening to music or an audio book. In 2.1, the music or the book keeps playing even though the volume for it is replaced by the notification sound. In 2.3, the same actually pauses plays the notification sound then resumes.
I am enjoying Tazz Ginger Sense.
As you guys may know I was away for a little bit. I'm back and have some other things taken care of and I'll be looking into these problems some of you have posted and working on and update soon...

[Q] Another "which ROM" thread -- Exchange integration?

Do you want the rooted version of stock rom or any other sense rom?
I am guessing you are Permroot & S-OFF.......
Yes, permroot and s-off. I've been pretty happy with Sense, so was thinking of going with one of the more updated Sense based ROMs, but wanted to know what other options were. Do pretty much all of the ROMs these days have good activesync support? I've also heard other UIs don't organize contacts as well as Sense (as in the contact linking between the phone/FB/Google/etc)?
edit: The main features I want are good activesync integration for work email/calendar/contacts, good contact linking/organization, wifi calling, and ability to act as wifi hotspot.
edit2: Right now I'm still running the stock 1.17.531.2 T-Mobile ROM.

Right now im Using MIUI and I am AMAZED with it. It is another whole new World, hehe, and i do like it a lot. It does everything, it is fast, no freeze, BUT it has no sense. I think i can live without it for a Faster Phone, better battery life. I would recommend you to give it a try for 1 day or 2.

I agree, youll probably want to go with VU as it has everything you just listed. Sense is a beast of a UI, but it is also a battery whore compared to AOSP, just to let you know
Thanks for the responses -- I think I'll try out VU for now and see how I like it.
Virtuous Unity 2.39 all the way! I've been hooked on that one ever since I tried it out. And if you stick with it like I did you might wanna donate to the devs for their marvelous work =3
I've been using VU 2.39 now for a while and I really like it -- thanks for the suggestions. One question though -- maybe I'm just blind or not looking in the right place but I don't see where it gives access to the "company directory" like my stock rom did. Before when I was in the contacts app I could hit the menu key and select company directory and it would access the corporate phone book through the exchange connection. I don't see that there anymore. Is it located somewhere else or it's just gone in newer versions of sense?
Not gone, just a bit hidden. Open Contacts, start typing. If no local contact will match - you'll be left with an empty screen, on which there will be a button saying "Search company directory".

Which ROM do you prefer for your G2?

I'm not asking for the best ROM and why. I'm just asking what do you guys prefer and why?!? I'm getting my roommates G2 flash-ready and then we have to make a decision and he really has no idea and I haven't owned an HTC before so I wouldn't know where to begin.
Just list your preferred ROM, why and maybe some cool features you like about it.
CyanogenMod is my pick. It takes Android as Google meant it to be, and adds all sorts of functionality. Look here for a very incomplete list of extra goodies. It's a "function over form" kind of ROM.
This is all done by a team of tens of people around the world on a daily basis for years. It's really hard to find that kind of support, dedication, and reliability from any other ROM. Not to mention, the user base is HUGE so you can find support really easily if you're having any technical problems.
I'm very grateful for the CyanogenMod Nightlies. I have played with a few others, but keep coming back.
Why? For starters, check out their web page http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ it shows what you are in for. Vanilla Android. The best part for your room mate to know, is that they don't have to stick with it if they are unhappy. The G2 is very easy to wipe and flash. Use a backup file like MyBackup or Titanium. Then flash back and forth till you find what you prefer.
But I always go back to CM!
MIUI.
I've tried all the ports out there for at least a week each.
I started off with CM7, as my favorite, but I've begun to like MIUI more because of it's "out of the box" completeness. There's tons of usability customisations I used to implement on the CM7 rom, but I have to do very little on MIUI to get my phone to the same level of productivity as CM7 does. SO yeah, I'm on MIUI now. ^_^
I guess I am the rogue here, don't like CyanogenMod ROM's or any CM7 based variant - they're fast, but they always seem buggy to me - I like either G-lite or G-Slim, these are very stock gingerbread, with mild or no overclocking, and mind-blowing battery life and most of all NO ISSUES - no GPS not working, no wifi calling or tethering issues, no force closes all the time, you get the picture.
but to each his own - wouldn't be a very interesting world if we all used the same ROM!
Same, I dont really like CM roms.
Virtuous roms are nice. G-lite or unity.
I use Virtouse Trentacinque at the moment. its only beta, but it's the best sense 3.5 rom out there.
I use InsertCoin Sense 2.1+3.0. I like Sense nad this rom has the best combination of using only the most interesting Sense 3.0 widgets with speed and low memory use of Sense 2.1.
miui are the best roms!
MIUI ftw!

PyroMod FTW
[Bulletproof] MIUI for looks
CM7 for functionality
ive been using G2 Slim for a week now and its the best ROM ive used so far. its fast, clean and has the best battery life when paried with the new radio update from tmo.
There is a thread like this at least once a week.
As you can see, its a matter of personal taste, and those tastes vary quite a bit. Once the phone is rooted, it only takes about 5 minutes to flash a new ROM (after its downloaded). So your buddy should compare features listed for the ROMs, then just pick a few, and try them to see which he likes best. Do a backup with clockworkmod before flashing a custom ROM, just in case he wants to return to the stock ROM easily.

My thoughts exactly and g lite here too!
Like redpoint said, try it and see what you like. Me personally I've really started liking mexdroid, it's got the functionality of cm7 but is nicer to look at, flashier and pretty but still fast.
Glite battery life light use not bad, and fast and stable.
Tapatalk hosting sucks lol, it reads 10 1/2 hours exactly and I'm at 78 % battery life
I like CM7 and MIUI. CM7 because it's fast and full of features, and MIUI because it is extremely customizable.
Speed,animations, battery life, dev support,and ICS theme. Get the combo in my sig!
HTC Vision(G2), meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO ROM/ICS CM7 theme.
Bulletproof MIUI for now... probably unless Sense 3.5 ROMs get smooth and stable. CM7 on Vision is also great, but I've already got bored with it on ZTE Blade

ROM for the GF's phone

I'm looking for opinions on about three different ROM's for my girlfriend. And I'm only posting this in a new thread because most the other ones I see are 2 years old and therefore highly outdated.
TN Elousions 2, the Team No Name ROM, and Thundershock.
Now, she wants to have a UI fairly close to stock. We tried one with ICS and she hated it. Maybe it was the ROM. I'm not sure. It was all blue and white menus and she said it was difficult to navigate. We went back to stock.
Anyway, she is having constant problems with her phone with reboots, apps not working properly, battery life, etc. She wants to switch to an iFail errr iPhone and I'm trying to convince her that Android is the place to be.
She uses the GPS function on her phone for navigation a lot, so GPS MUST work... She uses other apps such as pinterest, facebook, fitness pal, etc... But GPS is the main thing we need..
So I'm looking for opinions on those three roms or even any others that are stable enough and fast enough to show her that an Android can be improved even when it's 2 years old and counting.

MikG 3.11 offers a UI very close to the stock Sprint ROM but also permits quite a bit of user customization. GPS performance on this ROM is solid. Unfortunately, there has not been any development on this ROM since March 2012; but the ROM is solid. You can download MikG 3.11 at http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?10338-MikG-v3-11-3-9-2012 (be sure to get the Full Wipe version).
I also recommend uding ca1ne's Classic Sense Kernel with SBC for improved battry perfomance. You can download the kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557248 (be sure to get the SBC version).
Be sure to perform a nandroid backup and wipe the cache, Dalvik cache, and system before flashing the ROM. You can flash the kernel as soon as the ROM flash is completed.

Man if you had that in purple I would be all set (she's a huge fan of purple, not so much on pink)! I'll have to show her and see what she thinks...
I think there is if I'm not mistaken

Well if you choose a sense 3.0 there is a nice purple skin I can hook you up with. As nice as tnn roms are I would not suggest it being it is far from stock style. Yet if she is thinking Icrap then it does have that kind of UI.

I have been using Thundershock for about 2 weeks now with very few issues, gps works great (used it quite a bit) .You can always change appearance by using launchers, I use go launcher
I was using InFaMoUs 2.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836346) for a while and really liked it. It had a very stock feel to it. I felt like my phone performed faster under most conditions using that rom. The only thing I didnt like about the rom was that i was constantly getting low memory notifications. I think that the sense roms take up a little more space, but i think the real culprit was one of the games that i installed was growing in size every day untill it took up all the room i had left on the phone.
