Hey people,
There's a lot of talk about permrooting the desire z etc. But i just want to throw this out there.
I like temproot via visionary. And i'll tell you why.
First, temproot is sufficient for titanium to back up your phone and restore it.
Second, temproot is enough to overclock your phone by running scripts in gscript. And even though you have to do it manually after reboot (ie lost root) it really takes less than 10 seconds after you have it all set up.
Third, if i've done something to create a problem (I mean temporary things like overclock, disabling packages etc.), i can just reboot and voila! Working phone again. However, i'm not sure this would make the phone "invincible" to tampering. Make sure you know what you're doing or don't do it!!!!
This is assuming you like your current ROM, like I do, and you're not too hung up on nandroid/bart backups. Personally, i prefer nandroid/bart from a good clockworkmod custom backup, but it's a tradeoff with having an almost perfectly safe rooting experience.

Yes but can you flash ROMs? Nope. It's a completely different experience once you start flashing. And you can always revert the perm root if you run into problems with the phone...
It's a good point you make.
On my G1 I tried all the CM ROMS I could try, and super d, e, and f. I loved the tweaks available and sent most nights flashing or testing ROM and kernel combos.
But in the end I, personally was essentially looking for what this current sense ROM seems to be delivering so far. Just my personal taste right now.
It was just food for thought for all those who may feel squeamish about permroot on their new phone but want a little bit more freedom.
I'm sure in a few months i'll be modding the crap out of this thing anyway. Can't suppress the inner nerd forever lol.

A couple month!? I literally rooted this and started flashing like a madman the second this was out of the box... where do you find the restraint?
HTC Vision/T-Mobile G2 w/Cyanogenmod 6.1.1&G2 Fast kernel.
Maybe I'm overestimating myself haha. When I finally got into super d on my g1 I was like "this is good, this is fast, just be happy with this" but still I was swapping ROMs left and right like every night haha
Once I was working out of town and I tried a new overclocking kernel first thing in the morning, got my phone all goofed up including my SD card corrupted somehow, used a blackberry torch to format and to get the stock Android 1.0 nbh back on my SD card, and had the thing rooted and running a brand new ROM by the end of breakfast. Lol.
Soooooo maybe i'll last a couple more days haha

I couldn't live without CyanogenMod. There is no reason to NOT permaroot.

Gscript overclocking is inefficient, if you want a stable and consistant OC with UV kernels you'll have to root. My 2cents.
I am very familiar with cm6, but I want you to covert me lol.
What makes the script oc inefficient?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You can't undervolt for screen off profiles or change voltage for smoother performance, you can only set 1 OC speed with gscript running at stock voltage. So when you set your cpu speed to let's say 1.4GHz with gscript it is always running at that speed when the power is on, thus using more power, even with the screen off.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Hmm. I am not sure about controlling the voltages (important for battery life and cpu heat, right?), but both set cpu and system panel both show my cpu freq as changing from 245 MHz to 1017 MHz (or 1420 MHz if i want) according to demand with a good half dozen other speeds in between.
Edit: perhaps i should note that i was using the cpoc.sh, oc.sh (or ohshitttt.sh), and noreboot.sh scripts i found somewhere. They seem to work pretty well so far. I don't know too much about mflops, but i just did one and my d z was 37 @ 1017 MHz and 49 @ 1420 MHz.

Thanks for this thread. Coupled with ianmcquinn's post about Permanent Root, I made the decision to root. Less than 5 minutes later, it was done.
...and I guess, sorry for the *bump,* but I'm new to this forum and hope you don't beat me me too badly with those nunchakus.
Honestly, I don't know WHAT I was thinking lol.
Actually, at the time, none of the custom roms offered anything more than the stock rom + oc, unless you wanted aosp on your dz or sense on your G2. Now, it's an entirely different story. Thanks to great devs (siulmagic in particular when it comes to diversity) we have:
Like 10 versions of Sense from 1.0 over Froyo, to Sense 3.0 over Gingerbread 2.3.4 and everything in between.
Probably twice as many takes on AOSP, mostly from cm7, but cm6 and other AOSP sources as well.
I think there might be five MIUI roms kicking around too.
If you are newly rooted, my top 3 suggestions for exploring new roms are:
1. Virtuous Unity: The ultimate in Sense flashiness, but also very quick and stable. Watch out for Sense Paradox too!
2. Osimood MIUI: the included kernel puts it above the others (right now). Otherwise, I think all the lastest MIUI builds are essentially the same. MIUI is something totally different for android. Don't dismiss it too quickly
3. SuperCM7: a cm7 build that just feels right. Fantastic performance and flexibility.
To be honest, I'm using SenseGinger 3.0 as my daily driver right now, but I've done some tweaks to it myself. I find it to be a very well rounded contribution as well.

Perm-rooting: its like temprooting, but several times better without the headaches.

Since I am new to the MT4G and sense ROMs, I have a few questions.
What is the CPU freq most everyone is using for day to day. I have mine set at 1.4ghz as 1.7 seems too much.
I am running the latest Iced Glacier ROM. What was the bloatware removed? There is still a lot in this ROM I do not use. (like stocks, setup and myfaves) What is safe to remove?
This ROM seems huge to me.... its over 200mb! even the most bloated Nexus ROM I used barely reached 100mb.
Is there any home replacement that will allow the sense widgets? ADW EX will not. Seems that the widgets would be framework based and not launcher based.
Trackpad wake, is that a root feature or did the stock ROM allow that as well?
I literally had my phone for less than an hour before it was rooted, and that includes the 30 min drive from the UPS center. So the differences between the stock software and the modified are lost on me.
Any tips to working with sense better? It has a lot of nice convenience and flash compared to vanilla android. I figured if I am going to use a sense ROM may as well use it to its potential. If I don't I may as well go with CyanogenMOD. (CM7 on the nexus was nice btw, I think I liked the new stock android keyboard the best of all I have used including swype)
Any custom kernels that work better than the one in Iced Glacier? (give reasons why) I need good battery life, so anything reasonable that helps is great. I am not on it constantly and eating battery, but signal is spotty at work; who knew carbon fiber was such a good RF blocker...
I think that is all for now... I am off to bed. 12 hour work days 7 days a week can get to you. (another reason I'm asking questions outright rather than extensive searching on the forum)
Anybody?...
For one, the rom is so big because it's a sense rom. Track pad wake works out the gate. Theres no home replacement that you can use sense widgets with

Depends on your personal hardware. I run mine at 1.8 on the smaetass kernel with no problems, but some can't do that.
I am running the latest Iced Glacier ROM. What was the bloatware removed? There is still a lot in this ROM I do not use. (like stocks, setup and myfaves) What is safe to remove?
Stocks (and widget), myfaves (and Widgets), twitter widget, flicker, and a few others.
This ROM seems huge to me.... its over 200mb! even the most bloated Nexus ROM I used barely reached 100mb.
It is huge compared to an aosp rom like was on the Nexus, but that's because of all the stuff added with HTC sense.
Is there any home replacement that will allow the sense widgets? ADW EX will not. Seems that the widgets would be framework based and not launcher based.
No, sadly there isn't. The sense Widgets are so deeply integrated with the rest of the launcher that such is not possible. However, it is possible to find some Widgets that do similar things.
Trackpad wake, is that a root feature or did the stock ROM allow that as well?
That was on stock as well, and most custom roms will incorporate this highly popular feature.

Well, the best thing I can say on this is to not expect it to be like aosp. That's the point of being sense, its unique in its look. It just wont always be the fastest on the block.

Not really sure how to answer this question, really. Grankin has a few good kernels for iced glacier that can bring the speed up to 1.7 Guzman, and the smartass governor built into dumfuq's kernel (built for cm, but has since been modded to be compatible with sense roms like iced) enables it to get better speed and battery life.
I think that is all for now... I am off to bed. 12 hour work days 7 days a week can get to you. (another reason I'm asking questions outright rather than extensive searching on the forum)

Yeah, but speaking as a user of said kernel (albeit on cm7), it's worth it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
EDIT: also, I dont think I mentioned this previously, but the default setup for the cm6 kernel will break wi-fi on sense ROMs, so be sure to set up the wi-fi fix that he added today.
I am currently on ice glacier also but I really like eVil's Desire ROMs. there's a Z and HD flavor. they are more full on stock sense experience than iced which is a more/less clone of espresso.
I personally prefer the stock sense to espresso...there's more HTC Widgets and some other cool stuff. I also really like the trackpad unlock in addition to wake which is built in on those as well. the only thing I REALLY miss on those ROMs is the espresso dialer which has the built in VIP calls (allows a VIP contact to ring even with ringer / sound off).
I haven't tried gorillas DHD sense port yet but prob will in a couple days.
and before you ask - the difference between the Z and HD ROMs is Z has a landscape rotating home screen and larger fonts by default and HD doesnt have the homescreen rotation and has a smaller font. they're about identical as far as I can tell aside from that. I had no real problems on 0.2.x versions of Z and HD but eVil just released 0.3 and it seems a couple ppl are complaining of a quirk here and there..btw both of those eVil ROMs have a 1.49ghz kernel with built in smartass scaling which I really like.
I'm currently oc'ed to 1.2 max on iced 1.1.6 to try and maximize battery.

So I've been away from the DX scene for a while since I reverted to stock. I see there's a lot of ROMs out now, and they mostly look the same to me.
Can anyone offer some advice that will help me decide? I don't care as much about customizing right now b/c I don't have tons of time. I use LauncherPro, so I probably won't care about the launcher with the ROM.
I just want speed and stability, because my DX is acting up right now.
I use Liberty 1.5 however I don't like the change of the boot logo so I changed it back to the Motorola boot logo but kept the boot animation using liberty toolbox. I used it's overclocking function in settings because I didn't want to pay for an app to do it for me. I'm at a stable 1.25 Ghz.

Liberty is great that is what I primarily use. If you want speed and stability, also look at rubix focused 1.9.7 or darkslide 4.2
ROMs are really a personal preference of what you like. I recommend reading up on each you are interested in and try out each one

Why not Fission?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah, I've tried reading up on them, but they all sound really rather much the same when you look... at least to me.
What do Rubix, Darkslide and Fission got over the others/each other?
Darkslide is a heavily themed rom right out of the gate. Very stable but a little slow even when overclocked imo. Rubix, Apex, Fission, and liberty are in fact very similar and fast blurless roms usually with great battery life. The differances are mainly in the framework tweaks and settings the individual dev put into each. That said although very similar some run better than others on different phones. For example liberty is extremely popular and gets rave reviews. For me however it is extremely buggy with lock ups and reboots even after a clean install post sbf. But, I run Rubix with no issues at all and get full 24 days plus out of my battery. I may sound biased but just stating that is how the roms panned out for me. You may have the best running rom for your phone on liberty or apex, who knows. Make a nandroid so you can restore in seconds then try each rom as I do. Run each at least two days allowing then to build cache and run at peak. Then simply keep our reload the winner for your phone. Great thing about the x is plenty of choices.

When you get tired of fc's reboots and freezes, go to the darkslide. Its fully functional, as in everything works, and it's fast and doesn't slow down over time. Also great battery life.

Coming from a newb who like to tweak the look almost daily, I like Liberty. With the Liberty Toolbox you can adjust themes, install add ons-blur, etc, and do so much. I think the toolbox alone adds another level of on the fly tweaks that other rom builders should follow.

The Nexus S is quite possibly the best but most frustrating phone I've ever had. I love the hardware and the android OS. I still get random reboots, sometimes sms notifications never show up, and sometimes when I get a phone call the phone becomes unresponsive.
I've been using the latest NSCollab rom for several versions and have never over/under clocked. I clear the dalvik cache after every update and clear data/restore with titanium backup whenever necessary.
I'll feel like I've been doing everything correctly, yet I'm still left with a phone that gives me a lot of grief. What's the problem here? How can I fix this? This is extremely frustrating with no obvious solution.
I had a lot of problems with the nexus s... Now i have a galaxy sii, but i still have the nexus. Using the nscollab, i had a looooot of problems, now the phone are with the stock 2.3.4, in my tests, everything is fine. I will sell it now.

I don't know what kernel that rom uses but that and settings on voltages make the whole difference in stability. Something like stock rom with stock kernel or cm7 with stock or netatchys kernel are always good choices and will give you stability.
Just IMHO

no ROM I've tried has ever compared to stock, especially 2.3.4, when it comes to stability.
I tried Many ROMs but all before 2.3.4 (end of April?) and none was able to run for more than a few days without some kind of reboot/bootloop etc.
2.3.4 has been running flawlessly ever since.
Current uptime is like 1100+ hrs and that too cause i had to remove battery to change SIM card.
Hi,
I have installed NSCollab 1.0.35 on a week and have not problems on my Nexus S.
To resume, i had some endless bootloop and a lot of reboot on long calls.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
My 2 cents:
I'm on NSCollab 1.0.34, Netharky 1.3.4, KB3, OV to 1.2 Ghz, UV with protonvoltage. Gingerbread 2.3.4
I find this combo much faster than the stock one, smooth and pretty stable. Actually I have some reboots when I stress a lot my device, but they are rare.
So I don't want to renounce to Cyanogen features as the stock rom was really slow IMHO and I will give a try to NSCollab 1.0.35 very soon!
No problems in answering, good radio performance, faster than light (quadrant score: 3600) !! I can survive with a couple of reboot in a week!!
Too much porn?

Why don't you people stop confusing CM7 with a stable ROM? CyanogenMod and netarchy kernel are probably the most crappy android software that were ever made.
I suggest you use Oxygen ROM and Jame Bond kernel. No fancy quadrant benchmarks, stock ROM with basic functions like notification power control and text reflow in browser, zipaligned and all that stuff. Delete setcpu, delete juicedefender and other crappy so called battery savers, do not undervolt and do not touch the CPU frequency. Just let the ROM run like it is supposed to, don't fill it with all the bloatware you find on market that is said to increase performance or battery life, all they do is eating system resources.
I have yet to find a better combination like this for the nexus S, I am using the ROM since 3 days now without a single reboot/FC/freeze/bootloop. I am playing order and chaos MMO 2-3 hours and I can go through the full day without problems, the phone is responsive and simply works, no fancy sh*t.
Using the stock, all is fine..

I've been around these forums for a good while now, having used older HTC devices in the past and more recently under my current moniker on Android devices. Having previously owned G1, G2 and Desire from HTC I'll be receiving a Samsung GSII tomorrow, having chosen it over the HTC Sensation.
Moving to a new device is always fun and enjoyable, but may be even more so moving to an entirely new manufacturer. I was just looking for any pointers and tips from the community on the best ROM's around for the GSII (seeing as there is currently no thread dedicated to listing them) and tips for use on stock firmware, while I do my reading. I've already read through the QA and had a browse through the dev forums (damn it seems like an entirely different site to the XDA I'm used to).
I've used Cyangogenmod for some time now, having run JesusFreke roms initially on my G1 in the early days, used many different variants of android, though liking a stock feel more than any skinned ROM. I've used and liked Oxygen, Villain Rom and even LeeDroid (on a Sense skinned ROM).
Any tips thoughts and pointers would be greatly appreciated.
In my case I also just bought the phone ,, almost,, about 4 weeks ago.
After about a week I decided to flash to litenin v5 with Odin. afterwards I changed kernel through clockworkmod to the ninpheta 2.0.5 kernel, I am getting great results I believe at least, and the ROM is very very very enjoyable (thanks litePRO), stable and battery sufficient with this kernel mentioned above for me.
I am using setcpu with the kernel Aswell so I can o/c u/c and u/v it,

Been looking over the CM nightlys forum on their sight and it does seem stable, though would like to try out others while I'm playing. Would miss the FM radio though (yes some of us still do listen!).
May have to have a look at Villain, is it the same dev as the GS1/Desire or a port of his ROM?
@OP- Welcome to GSII forum.
Well I can't advice you any Custom ROM's like CM or else as I have no inetrest in them, but if you want advice on Stock then you can use Chainfire Root. It is the simplest rooting process and keeping the kernel close to Stock. You could also try Ninphetamine kernel if you want BLN and Voltage tweaks. For all these just visit the Original Development section.
I would not advice you to use SetCPU and do some Undervolting tweaks as I am yet to confirm their effectiveness. But it's completely up to you.
Also for simple mods and tweaks just read the Q&A thoroughly, a lot of simple yet needed stuffs already discussed there.
Regards.

Also for simple mods and tweaks just read the Q&A thoroughly, a lot of simple yet needed stuffs already discussed there.
Regards.

Thanks for the welcome (as you can see not really a big poster, more of a lurker).
Yeah I've read over the Q&A and some nice basic tricks there. Thanks for the advice on a start, with stock ROM's, really want root from day one to be able to do what I'm used on my device but just get used to using the Samsung interface, haing never experienced it before. Only ever used SetCPU in the early days on my G1/G2 when it was needed to run some of the later android versions. I really don't see the necessity of overclocking/underclocking a fast dual core CPU and with the advancements made in the android governor as it is.

Man, I am impressed, you are the first person to say like that. Needless to say you are absolutely right. I can't believe how many people are jumping for SetCPU and Voltage tweaks without knowing what they are doing.
And yes root is a must, Sammy could've already rooted it while shipping and would have saved two minutes of us

Been looking over the CM nightlys forum on their sight and it does seem stable, though would like to try out others while I'm playing. Would miss the FM radio though (yes some of us still do listen!).
May have to have a look at Villain, is it the same dev as the GS1/Desire or a port of his ROM?

I dont really listen to music on the move, so same goes for FM
Its the same dev group as from the G1/desire I think, ninpo kernel is the "official" VR kernel, theres updates in the dedicated thread.

The gingermod is interesting if you like minimal but not castrated rom.
It's ASOP look, and samsung app free except where it count : browser, camera, video.
The 0.3 is good to test, lasted 0.5 got some issue.
I would like to know all of your opinions on most smooth, most stable, fastest Rom here please.
I come from sidekick 4G and am liking it so far.
Haven't rooted yet can I please get some feedback on that too,
Like the easiest way and to get cwm
Maybe some good tweaks too!
Thanks so much in advance!

I owned a Sidekick 4G, prior to the MT4G I used to have[now sold], and the best Roms I ever used were:
*MIUI by TheDerekJay
-It offers extensive user customization, you can make it look like anything
-Derek's port is excellent, and he provides good support for problems
*Faux AOSP
-Faux is quite the developer too, his ROM is rather stable and offers many features
*BeatMod Sense 3.5
-zfreak has been making ROMs for a long time, I've tried his ROMs on my G1, and I like his Flyer port that he made
*DaddyDc's GenerationX
-Dc is another dev that I think offers a variety of roms, ranging from stock mysense to aosp
-If you prefer vanilla, this is the build for you, Faux has added
virtuous unity, sense 3.0. an AMAZING rom developed by the unity team.
heres the link for MT4G: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143177
and heres they're website: http://www.virtuousrom.com/
happy flashing
and welcome to the MT4G forums.
Thank you this is a very nice phone. Plan on rooting soon.

I'd highly recommend Faux's CM Nexus Gingerbread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017516
It has a couple of bad defaults around the keyboard (special bilingual keyboard instead of standard Gingerbread and a very loud keypress sound), but those can be turned off easily.
It's very close to vanilla Android and somehow gets the right balance of performance and battery life.
Thanks for all of the input y'all, I ended up permarooting via the gfree method with s-off and flashing newest cwr from Tom manager, downloaded cm7.1 and g apps as well, I'm currently real happy with CM 7, as its been pretty stable for me and its quick too, I just got a score of 3145 on quadrant standard when overclocked to 1.5

Not trying to pop your bubble. Quadrant really doesn't mean anything in the real world. Virtuous Unity and MiUi are just as quick as CM7 when it comes to opening and closing out apps. And Quadrant is easily hackable. I once hit a score of 2.5k on a underclock to 700Mhz.
Also keep in mind that things that heat up, expand. And when you o/c your processor they do expand which can, and i stress can, cause damage. most people do not o/c their phones 24/7. Infact i've seen a hand full that underclock.
