best rom for MT3G 32b?

what is the best rom for the MT3G right now.
I tried cyanogen 3.9.11.2 and seems like it has intermitant problems unlocking the screen were it will blink horizontal lines and then after a few times then unlock fine. Seems to happen more with the device when it is warm
I have also tried both v1.3 jacxrom builds and the full v3 hero and works fine when first booted but when I lock the screen and unlock it looks like the screen is overlayed with another copy of itself but a little to the right. Almost taking one verticle line of pixels and switching it wiht the row next to it in pairs al the way across the screen. Any ideas on which one I should be running.

The new Cyanogen 4.1 that just came out is absolutely amazing. I just flashed it over on my MT3G today and have had no troubles. It's a must have.

Do you have all the tmobile apps that came with the mytouch (myfaves etc...)
Im still trying to decide whether or not to root. I have rooted "jailbroken" my iphone. Is rooting give you the same benefit as jailbraking? I mainly used the jailbreak for denied apps from the app store, themes, and tethering. Tethering is not so important (unless I'm traveling haha)

Same idea and then some. Cyan does not include myFaves in his builds but it can be added. Check the G1 forum where he posts his ROMS. I saw a post about it the other day but can't remember where. Search. When in doubt, ROOOOOOT!!! No other way to use Android IMO.

So the myfaves app that came with my mytouch ("Magic" I like that name so much better btw mytouch sounds so girly) can't be pushed to me by tmobile. I happened to me once where it completely disappeared from my phone and cs refreshed my myfaves and i got it within 5 min. I guess its not a big deal if I can download it. How about the other apps like youtube, android market; will they work as they would on a non rooted mytouch?
The main thing stopping me from rooting is that I can't return it to the original factory state like I could for my iphone. Not sure how stuff works on android (im still a noob with this OS) but on the iphone it wasn't a big deal to jailbreak as it just modifies just a small part of the OS to allow non apple approved apps/themes etc... but with this its like it flashes a whole different OS. How about all the new updates like donut etc...that we will get ota. I guess the devs here will include all those features in their new ROMs (as they are doing now) so that is not such a big deal.
Thanks for the quick answer btw.

Sorry for not answering your response as quickly as the first answer. I can't speak for the iPhone but the G1/myTouch (I have both) are a MUST root IMO. I think having total control over the phone and OS is so important. As far as Market, YouTube, etc. they all work. Every app works, as far as I am concerned and I have 225 apps (all paid for if they weren't free) installed. As far as updates are concerned, the devs here are months ahead of Google and TMO. Cyanogen (best ROMs here, IMO, if you aren't into Hero and things like that) already has some Donut stuff in his stable 4.0.1 ROM and adds quite a bit of cool features in his experimental ROMs. You can also add bits from other devs if Cyan doesn't include something you like. Cyan does not include myFaves (I forget why) but it can be added after. Just search around for that. Even without the app on your phone, you can always update them online and still make free calls to your faves. It just won't show on the phone, that is unless you have the "after market" app installed. Hope this helps. And like I said, root is absolutely the way to go. Nothing frightening. In fact, I feel more comfortable with tools like Nandroid built-in so I can always restore my phone if/when I mess something up or install and unstable ROM/theme. I flash almost daily for that reason.

wow dude you have been a lot of help, I feel a lot more about rooting now (wow you flash almost everyday haha awesome). I think I'm gonna try it tonight haha.
So I wont need to restore to the original shipped state if I ever need to do a warranty claim?
oh yeah so should I flash cyanogen 3.9.X.X or 4.0.1 ( I know 3.9.X.X has some donunt features but its experimental...but is it better?)

So it looks like sense ui from the hero? I heard all those roms are slow due to the ram limitation on the mytouch (192mb) vs the hero (288mb)
btw I have a class 2 card too as of right now so that is good to know

JACxHero is not a hero port its a regular cupcake with hero type theme and htc music port try it out have nothing to lose really

So to flash it all I have to do it to do the 1 click root method and flash that rom? (not sure where to get it btw)
How about when i want to change roms what do I do?
do I do a nandroid backup every time i switch roms?

I am a noob, but if you use search option you will find out that JacHero needs latest Radio and SPL which is 2005. One click method doesnt change it. I still have 2006, "perfect".

you can always use the old method just follow the instructions step by step don't feel discourage ... but you must and i repeat follow each step ... one... by ..one

What can root do for x10 now?

I never used a root phone so i have absolutely no idea what it does.
There is no one single explanation as well beside some parts here and there.
Anyone care to list the advantage and disadvantage that x10 can access from root at current stage? (my main concern is just get froyo or flash enable)

I also want to know what can we do now. My wish is to have this latest ROM from SE but I want to remove from these apps:
E-mail
Voice Caller
Google Talk
User manual
Moxier x 5 ( I want to remove all of them )
Quadrapop
SIM Toolkit
Wisepilot
And that is it. Can we go back to non rooted phone and original firmware in case we need it for warranty reasons and how ?
Cheers

Would also like to know if there are specific apps for rooted phones? And what the app would do?

With a rooted phone, you can get apps that can change startup items, take screen shots of your phone amongst various other things.

Can we also modify call volume

Without root we are at the mercy of SE. If SE don't want the device to support Froyo we will never have Froyo.
With root it is in our own hands or more precisely the hands of The developerson here. Hopefully they will get the stock Froyo release and load it onto an x10 and get the drivers to ensure all works.
Unfortunately we have to wait until this has been achieved. Half of the battle has been won though.
I'd rather wait for updates from the devs on here than SE's devs! I mean root was promised and has now been achieved, but I'm still waiting on SE's updates, especially the one designed to improve performance and bug fixes.

To change startup items, install Startup Auditor from the market - it can do this for you without root.
Root should allow for better backup though, and for custom ROMs. Those are the biggest end- user advantages which I can see in an instant.

[Q] Should I get an Atrix?

Couple of questions for Atrix owners running the latest update. Can I get your feedback on these?
- How is flash performance on the Atrix? Is it smooth or is it choppy?
- How hard is it to enable 3rd party installs (don't care about full root or anything else) just being able to install apps outside Market
- Is the screen really that bad? Saw it in a store and it looks great to me.
- Does the phone every spontaneously reboot or is unstable? I need something that'll be super stable
- I can always replace Blur launcher with LPP or ADWEX but are there other customizations Moto has that are extremely annoying? Anyway to get around them without new ROM?
- How are you overall satisfied with the phone?
- How is signal strength? Lot of dropped calls or none?
I'm looking more for people who haven't rooted and/or just did the 3rd party install hack. I know rooted folks will probably be installing a new ROM but I'm looking for stock experience. I have CM7 running on an Inc and honestly, it's great but there's not a huge difference between Froyo and Gingerbread in most day to day tasks.

I wrote something but it will not let me delete so ill do nonsense sorry

1. I don't use too much flash, but it seems pretty smooth to me on the sites I have used.
2. You have to root to enable non-market apps. You can always sideload with ADB, but that's different. Rooting was easy.
3. The screen is great for text and graphics, but looks meh to me for videos. My wife's iPhone 4 has a prettier-looking screen, but it's smaller.
4. I had one reboot once. That's in 10 days of ownership. I was using Maps or Navigation or something.
5. MotoBLUR can be annoying, but you can mostly get around it. There is an issue with getting email notifications when using Corporate Sync with Exchange Server 2003. Other than that it's not too intrusive. The accounts set-up is done through BLUR, too.
6. I am mostly satisfied with the phone, but I miss flashing roms and would love to get AOSP on this. MotoBLUR isn't my favorite. Battery life isn't stellar, but it gets me through a day with moderate use.
7. Never had a dropped call. I had to laugh when I still had full bars and my wifes iPhone said "no signal" the other day while driving.

3rd party app enabling is super easy with fool Proff rooting technique. I've had one spontaneous reboot and that was after rooting.... not an issue got phone on release date.changing launcher is easy and no motobblur doesn't have extra crap to slow Yu. My call quality is amazing and I have had 0 drops (Buffalo NY) and the screen is crisp crsip crisp. I love the screen dunno why ppl hate it compares to my iPhone 4

Even with the latest software, there's no issue rooting and enabling 3rd party install?
Is there a simple instruction thread out there? The only one I saw was rather large and old.

You have to downgrade to the original shipping firmware to root initially, and the script preps the device for the update. Then you do the update. Then you run another script. Then you're on the latest and you have root. Done and done.

Yup, very easy. Just make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. I also installed Gingerblur, and my phone is so much better now!

I just rooted last night and did the upgrade. It was really easy so I'd consider doing it as soon as possible. Consider that if you do the OTA 1.5.7 update without root you won't have any backup utilities to save your data if you want to get root, and thus have to downgrade.

From what I've read on the Moto forums it is limited to Exchange 2003. I have no way to test whether that is true because all I have access to is 2003.

Seriously, no way to take screenshots on unrooted evo?

Well since I got my replacement evo, it came with GB so I lost root and access to my screenshot app for rooted phones.
I searched and all I found was the android sdk and screenshot it which is tethered and your phone needs to be plugged into the computer every time you reboot.
Any other options?

If you can turn on USB debugging, you might be able to use ddms.bat included with the Android SDK (for Windows). It takes a second to start up, but if it finds your EVO, you can choose "Device, Caputre Screenshot" and win.
It's not the best solution, but might be the only solution. Requires a USB cable.

So I have to plug it in every time to take a screenshot or is this a one time deal?

Search for app called shootme.

^ ! Exactly why I'm asking.

You can set up QtADB and do screenshots but only when your phone is plugged in usb. At least that way you can do it graphically instead of command line.

Sent from the Evo

yeah but they recently updated the app and its no longer working without root.

There's an app called No Root Screenshot It in the market for $4.99. It's fairly easy to setup, and the only catch is you have to re-enable it everytime your phone reboots thru the PC program that is required to install it. I use it on my unrooted EVO 2.3.3 and it works great.
Edit: Ah I just noticed in your OP about Screenshot It. It's not so bad with the re-enabling and stuff. Usually I'm home when I reboot, so it isn't a big deal to me. Still gets the job done for us who got screwed with a 2.3.3 refurb.

I think some versions of the Evo's software have allowed it without root, and some haven't. I think it's gone back and forth a few times, and I'm not sure why they can't make up their mind.
An unrestricted ability to take screenshots could be a security risk, as an app could run in the background and take screenshots while you're entering your credit card info or whatever. But I don't see why they couldn't have it built into Android and protected with defined permissions, just like other sensitive operations are.

ShootMe worked on my Evo before I rooted it - this was back on whatever version was before 3.70 (3.30, I think). If it's ShootMe that doesn't allow for non-rooted screenshots, I have an older version you can try out. If it's your phone, you're going to have to do it the hard way.

The last update was in January, version 0.8.0, which is the version I have readily available. I am pretty certain that I have an older version somewhere on my computer that I used before rooting. If I can find it then I'll post it.

It's certainly worth trying the older version, but I think it's dependent on the ROM rather than the shootme version.

New Softbank Rom: 369

Totally out of left field: dell released a new rom for softbank.
The changelog does not seem to state much.
Android 2.2.2
Build date: Jul 10, 2012
Build: 29579
Dell Stage 1.6
The rom is completely identical to 366 except for the following files:
<root>\boot.img
<root>\amss.mbn
<root>\dbl.mbn
<root>\dsp1.mbn
<root>\osbl.mbn
<root>\system\build.prop
<root>\system\app\quickoffice.apk
Out of all those, only boot.img seems to have changed more then just being resigned/trivial changes.
Dell normally holds a rom for 1 month to test before releasing, but the normal release date for a rom built in july would be mid/late august.
So for whatever reasons: they held it back for a month.
It also only includes a trivial amount of changes, so it's not much more then going though the motions of a release

I received the update SMS today and came here to check. Figured you would have some additional info on this.
Still Froyo? I guess I'm never getting a phone from Softbank again.

Blame Dell/Qisda's dell team/Softbank
The SPro's still on GB too.
The Lenovo LePad S2005 (ie the "Opus one") got ICS back in April.
I dont even know why they released 369, I cant tell if it even changed anything as far as softbank's changelog is concerned.

maybe the user or the dev is old school type .. and pretty much on comfort zone...

Official roms arnt custom roms, they cant simply release it and hope there's no serious issues. They have to have staff on hand to test for 3 weeks before releasing.
Even if they only changed like a dozen lines of code at best for it.

I currently sport the Dell official 360 rom and I was wondering if it was worth the bother of udating to this one? has anyone given it a go and does it work?
Any pointers would be appreciated! Also interested in whether it requires a complete reset or if it upgrades leaving data/apps in place? :fingers-crossed:

Well I took the plunge and generally I am pleased with the results. Wifi seems much more stable and most things work, although mms does not seem to be working at the moment. Also softbank does not come with a sms app pre-installed, instead they use their own combined messaging app which I have not tried yet. I installed an sms app from the market and it works ok, apart from mms

Well I took the plunge and generally I am pleased with the results. Wifi seems much more stable and most things work, although mms does not seem to be working at the moment. Also softbank does not come with a sms app pre-installed, instead they use their own combined messaging app which I have not tried yet.

I tried to install it but was not able to find in the wireless settings the tethering & portable hotspot, does anyone also encountered this?

The MMS issue I was having was me being an idiot - I had run out of credit I have never used Wifi Hotspot. There is an app that comes rolled into this rom which seems to be for tethering but i have not used it. The WiFi in general is excellent and seem way more stable that any other ROM I've used to date (and I've used quite a few). I think it may be easier to look up a 3rd party (barnacle I think) tool to get the tethering working - but I know very little about this.

Regarding the mms.apk can we replace that softbank mms.apk with that of mms.apk from stock 360 rom

I've been using it for a while and generally all is good. It seems better on battery than the 360 rom, the WiFi seems more stable, though I do get the odd issue with it not connecting but far less than any other rom I've used. I do not use tethering and I know that is not present, but there are apps in the market to do this anyway. SuperUser.zip also happily rooted it with no issues. It does seem to be quicker than other Froyo roms too - so overall I'd say it's worth an upgrade. Be aware that the native messaging app will not work on it for some reason, but Handsent or Go SMS are just fine and dandy - unless you run out of credit (see earlier post by me)
If I had to stick to a single rom this would be the one. I am tempted to go for DSC and I've been told by the author that it can be flashed over this rom - so I may report back when 1.6 is rolled out fully and I've installed it to give a comparison.
I hope this helps!

I've looked and haven't found any links for what I'm looking for which is just the amss and dsp1 files to flash in fastboot... anybody got those uploaded anywhere? I hate to flash the entire ROM just to extract those two, but if I have to then I just have to... thanks guys for any help
