Best Mytouch 3G 1.2 Rom?

I know, I know, you reading this thread are very disappointed of me, a noob, for asking this since a billion other of my fellow noobs already asked this. I just wanted to know what is the best rom out there today for the T-Mobile Mytouch 3g 1.2 (w/3.5mm). I have recently moved over from the HTC Touch Viva forum and I am amazed by all the development going on, considering the amount of people here compared to there. I have installed Amon_Ra's recovery and flashed a rom but didn't quite like it due to the Google apps always force closing (I think most people were having the problem with the rom) so I restored the backup. The only thing done to the phone is that I rooted it and installed the recovery. Thank You very much if you decided to point me in the right direction, and if you didn't, have a nice day.
Don't hate on me just because I'm a noob! I'm 16 and android modding is way more confusing than WM6.5/6.1, haha.

The best in my opinion is the one linked in my sig. The slide rom. it has everything you could want from dounut and a hero type rom. The reasons for all the google apps FC is because you have either not done a full wipe before flashing the rom, or may not have your sd card partitioned in 3 partitions.
Download, put on sd card, flash, Let it sit for about 15 min, it will take a long time to boot the first time.

That's probably why it FC so many times. I didn't do a full wipe nor did I have the SD card partitioned.
Do all ROMs require a partition of the SD card? How would I go about partitioning it?
I'll search around for it later. I have a math final to study for!

Can't go wrong with Cyanogen's Eclair ROM. No partitions required.

Thanks for pointing this rom out, I really like it so far (just loaded it, loading my backup of my microsd on).
Looks very nice, runs very smooth and everything is supposed to work accept bluetooth so thats great. Hopefully it doesn't slow down once I load up my apps and this will replace CM as my daily driver until the hacked 2.2 comes out for MT3G 1.2

Thank you all for the input. I've downloaded SuperE a few days ago and it was the best ROM yet, everything works to the best of my knowledge. It's fast, smooth, and everything I would want from a non-official ROM. It actually feels like an official update from using it. I did have some random force closes, but it doesn't lower the overall score of the ROM. Eleven out of ten in my book!
The only thing left is a keyboard. I'm using the stock android one, but the keys are too small and make the input experience ****ty.

Don't you just need a different kernel for 32A?

I have no idea. BUT I have successfully booted cyanogen-mod 5-ds which DOES say is compatible with 1.2.. and it's an EXCELLENT rom.

Super E and CM 508 are already compatible with mt3g 1.2... dont need the 32a port

Any cyan based rom or rom using his kernel should be compatible with the 1.2 i suggest kolohes speedteam rom.

Wildpuzzle Vs Cm7

Hi Folks
im new to the custom rom scene, so please forgive me if this sounds like a really stupid question
I have only installed 2 roms so far Wildpuzzle V0.8 and CM7 6.1.0
When i install WP i only get approx 90mb internal memory yet when i install cm7 i get approx 165mb internal
i have followed melvan changs guide on the forums here and i have even spoken to him in person and we have tried several options but none seem to work
Therefore is there another way of getting 165mb in wildpuzzle or can someone (try and) explain why cm7 gets 165 but wp only gets approx 95mb
I have tried several different makes of micro sd cards but with no success
again sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but im trying to figure out why i can get nearly double the amount of internal memory if i use cm7 rather then wp

Wrong forum. Therefore I hate you.
CM7 is AOSP-based, so you can use JIT and it's quicker.
But you don't get HTC's framework, so no Sense (Which is slow as hell anyway), or Sense apps.

apologies for posting it in the wrong forum, i thought with it being a rom based question it should belong in development...can a mod move it?
ok so maybe i might have to use cm7 and try and change the things i dont like about it
thanks for the reply nick, i shall try and post in the correct forums next time

Also note that CM7 is Android version 2.3.3
Whereas WildPuzzle is at 2.2.1

You need an ext partition and move dalvik cache to sd for that much free space on wildpuzzle, but who really needs that much lol
Edit you can try formatting everything.

i got a lot of fc's on cm7
i have jit enabled and setcpu on (but maybe im not using it correctly)

i tried to create the partition in rom manager and using an pc software, but no joy (again unless im doing it wrong)

Try a gparted live cd.

yeh thats the one i tried
you got any instructions?

Go to rom manager and pick fix permissions, that might help some fc's. Also try flashing jacobs 4.1 kernel since 4.2 doesn't work for some people.
For setcpu make the min > 122 and max < 768

so i need nightly full 15 from here
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=buzz
then jacobs 4.1 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
then google apps (if i want them)

No CM comes overclocked by default so you don't need Jacob's kernel. Google apps you can use though.

Did you bother to read? I said to use the 4.1 kernel since 4.2 is unstable for some people.

now im confused windy is saying i dont need to overclock and kevin is saying i do
and yeh i did read your post, you said flash jacob4.1
the only jacob 4.1 i found is on this second link, although the title of the thread says 4.2, 4.1 is on there as well

hmm... everyone.. what he is trying to say is
CM6.1 and Wildpuzzle... not CM7...

Sense isn't slow. It's equal to CM7 if not faster. It's only slow in places that are processor-intensive (benchmarks, games, web browsing etc.) while the interface is really smooth, much smoother than any AOSP based ROM.

Mmm hmm yeah in wildpuzzle v0.8 the dalvik cache was on the phone to improve performance. Easily moved to sd to free up memory if you really need it, just read at least at least the first page of the Rom thread carefully (directed to forst post^)

Can anyone recommend a rom with lots of internal space

I'm currently using CMYLXGO stock desire rom and i love it but the last few days ive been getting a low memory icon. I look and my phone says 90%. Wierd cause ive deleted many apps and have app2sd as well. I dont know if its me or the rom but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a rom that offers lots of space for apps. For some reason while the icon is up I dont even get emails. If anyone is using app2sd i have a question. When i click on the "phone only" tab it says 21 apps but on the moveable tab it says "no moveable applications found". And on my sd tab it says only 9 apps. How do I move those phone apps to my sd? Maybe that'll clear space.

If your using SD android, (i dont know about nand or ram) Search for toporesize in xda, find [app]windows resize data img maker thread and download the app, then just follow the instructions but backup your img first and don't resize to bigger than 2048mb(2gb).
Then you have larger internal memory with the same rom!

Ok sorry. I just searched for it and it is nand. Different filesystem setups.
I only use SD card builds so I can still use winmo if I like.
Looking at the thread for your build you need partitions or something.
In which case I'd recommend the rom in my signature.
Sorry for the mix up.

There's a special version for TMOUS and everything is explained so you cannot make a mistake
Enjoy the power dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

so it seems the instructions are cut and dry. One question it doesnt answer. Should I take all my current rom zips out of my sd?

Unless you absolutely positively need sense, I would recommend and AOSP build like this lightning fast gingerbread build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
sense builds will always tend towards the bloated side. The system partition on the gingerbread build i linked only takes up about 125 mb. vs the 400mb partition that cmylxgo's dhd build takes up

so i went with coredroid and so far so good. I wanna thank you guys for all the suggestions you've provided

[Q] Re: "[ROMS]NEW! Dualboot Mirage CM7 / ICS CM9 Image for SDcard [3/26]"

Regarding the thread "[ROMS]NEW! Dualboot Mirage CM7 / ICS CM9 Image for SDcard [3/26]" at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448186
The link to the downloads that the primary post refers to - http://techerrata.com/browse/nook/racks - hosts many files.
I am getting a new Nook Color and would like to know if http://techerrata.com/file/nook/racks/Mirage_CM7_ICS_CM9_DualbootSD.img.zip includes the latest updates; if not, which update files to download - and are they cumulative, or do I have to install each one in succession?
I searched for this info elsewhere and came up with nothing. Many thanks to anyone who would care to help.

Looks like .img is dated 3/04, so I'd do img and only add the latest CM7 and ICS, or Miui. The updates must be added to the "sdcard" partition of the sdhc card.

Thanks - that does help. I'm still a little fuzzy, though, on whether I should download both OpenGL and non-OpenGL, both MIUI ICS and MIUI GB, and if I really do have to flash gapps after the rom.

Not sure about the others but the OpenGL and nonOpen Gl is an either or choice. The non seems to be the more stable.

Either MIUI replaces the Mirage 7.2 primary boot. The secondary boot can be either OpenGL or non-OpenGL. You have to reflash gapps everytime you update the ROMs.

Clarity is golden and scintillating. Thanks to you all. Now I've got to decide which ROMs are best for me. I see MIUI has a guest mode. Is something like that available in Mirage?

Read the OP in RACKS thread
The files to setup the CM7/CM9 SD card need to be modified so if you download eyeballer or samians updated you need to follow the directions here to have them work. I've had good luck with the non open GL builds the open GL builds would freeze up once or twice a day.

I've been using the openGL eyeballer builds since I got my NC about a month ago. Issues are no worse than any other custom ROM I've ever used. DL goomanager from the market and you can update to the nightlies every day (without any fuss). It's a bit slow, but considering that this thing was $90 (my cost) and 800mhz, I'm not complaining. I mostly just use it for books, email, chat, light games, and web browsing.

I am running the Dualboot Mirage CM7 / ICS CM9 Image. It was working well, but after the battery fell below operational threshold the nook will not charge or boot at all, it just displays the charge icon whenever I try to start it.
Right now I cannot use the nook at all.
Your call, you may not have any issues, but as awesome as the build is, if you have the same problem I do your nook will become useless.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Backing up Titanium backup

I have a folder from my old ROM with all my apps backed up on titanium. Now when I go create a new ROM where do I put the titanium folder so it will show all my apps?

The TB folder should be on your SD card. Prior to flashing a new ROM you can use the menu in TB to create an update zip file, which is flashable in recovery. When you flash the ROM zip you can also flash the TB zip, which will install TB on your phone without having to download it from the Play store. All you have to do then is do a batch restore of your user apps from TB and you'll be set.

FinZ28: thanks for reply but somehow I put the TA backup folder from my old ROM in a few of the folders on my phone and it popped up lol But now the problem I am having is with a2sd. It seems that all the apps are going both on my internal space & on the a2sd I created...Why is it doing that? I want all the apps to go to a2sd I created and not internal storage...

Do you know if your new ROM supports a2sd? You might have to find the right package and flash it to gain support for the a2sd partition. Check the OP of the ROM post. Better yet, check TB, and look at the memory readings for all of the partitions listed. If your partition isn't there, then it isn't supported natively.

aarsyl: I am running .500 reloaded ROM & you need to flash DarkTremors a2sd. I first created a parition w/ swap file 0 and 1 gig of space then I flashed ROM .500 reloaded then gapps then DT a2sd. When I go to Titanium I can see the 1 gig partition I created it says SD card (a2sd) and its taking up about 200 MB, however under internal its also taking up 200MB...the whole point of the a2sd is to free up space for internal storage..Why is it taking up space in both internal & the a2sd partition?

That's because it doesn't remove the ENTIRE thing to a2sd,to MY knowledge. I may be wrong, for I haven't dealt with that for a long time.
I suggest that you do a test. Install a few apps from the play store, and see what happens with the two partitions, and also monitor which partition loses more space.

Well like I said it seems to be taking space on both internal storage and the SD card... I just installed an app and it took 14mb off of SD (a2sd partition I made) & 24MB off internal...What do I need to do to get it to only take space on the a2sd and NOT internal storage?

Bump anyone? I notice in TA sum apps are on the SD card while some are not...How is that when I installed all the apps at the same time?!

Any input appreciated...

Ok...so know one else seems to know the answer to your question. Have you tried a2sd with another rom to see if it behaves the same way? That's the most that I can think of. Preferably a rom that already has it baked in.
Just trying....

Appreciate the response aarsyl however, what other rom should I try it with? .500 reloaded seems to work the best. Is there anything similar that has everything that ROM offers? Many roms I see around here always have something missing, be it FFC, video, 4g, ect....

Wow...you're asking for a lot. Just kidding...I just haven't tried out Roms for my OG Evo for months...give me until tomorrow, and I will return with an appropriate answer. But FYI, Sense 2.1 roms are definitely your best bet, since the phone was made for it (stock). If you don't prefer Sense, at least stick to GB. There are no ICS roms with everything working, and JB is even worse.

Any gingerbread rom has everything working. Only the ICS/JB rom's have things broken. Jellybread and Thundershock are 2 of the most popular. Emilio Unchained isn't far behind. Mokee if you want a really different feel. Unoffical CM7.1 in Original Development section if you want a stock CM feel that you can customize and make your own without having things you don't want or need.

.Reloaded is based on 2.3.5 and deck's custom ROM. The other ROMs are based on 2.3.7 and have CM controls. Some app's function differently. Different lock screen controls. etc. Few things like that. Don't get me wrong, I like reloaded, but it could use some updates.
Cyanmobile and MIUI are also... interesting, because they are quite different. As long as you are using the GB version of MIUI, everything will work. They are also 2.3.7 based.
If you like reloaded, stick with it. There is nothing wrong with it, and it's a good, stable rom. The question was, what has everything working. Sense 1.0 ROMs are the best for everything working. If you don't like sense, I was giving options since you already use reloaded.

souleman: what would u recommend as the two best ROMS under 2.3.7 with everything working including hdmi? Just wondering if the ones u mentioned are really better than relaoded or just a different look...
