Any new roms coming out soon? 2.3.4? Other than the ones on the board. Ive tried them all
A good way to know is to pm the developers of the current roms that are out for the hero.

Is anyone currently working on creating any roms for the mt4g? I know cm6.1 is being developed right now but I would love some evo-ish roms .
I'm coming from a G1 and always wanted to try out making roms, so I'll be giving it a go.
Hi there!
For the mytouch 4G phone from t-mobile, it doesn't come with vanilla android (the stock android O.S).
So, once rooted, is it possible to flash it with the Stock Android 2.2 O.S? That does not have T-mobile's junk? If so, where or how can I find it?
I came upon several links, but wasn't certain. Also, what does it mean by RUU rom?
thanks!
I have no idea what RUU to be honest, never used one but I think it's the factory image that's used to bring phone back to stock, not sure if there's one for MT4G
There's no official vanilla 2.2 rom for this phone. The closest thing you can have is CyanogenMod. 2.2.1 is in RC2 stage and is very stable. 2.3 (gingerbread) is in unofficial alpha stage. It's very stable (as far as people say) but has it's bugs and there no official support from CM for it, only community. All other roms out there are sense based. All roms are in Development section.
Obviously, you need to be rooted to flash any of those.
Good luck.
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility. It is essentially the rom that ships with the phone. You are correct in saying there is no true vanilla Android ROM. OP's best bet is to go with CM as you suggested as it is Vanilla Android with some features added and closest to pure android you're going to get.
First off, this is my first post here, so hi everyone. After a few months with my unrooted Desire HD, I decided to root. I was hesitant mainly due to how complex the process was. I am with telus, which means I had to downgrade to a rootable firmware version (the Telus one isn't rootable for some reason). I needed to install a gold card for this. After this, I temp rooted and permanently rooted successfully. My first custom ROM is MIUI (freshly squeezed edition). I find it to be very fluid and fast and is definetly good looking. Its nice to see a ROM based on something other than stock Android or Sense. The software build that comes with this ROM (2.3.4) is also very fast, a huge step up from the laggy 2.2.1 software that Telus shipped with it.
Again, I am new and know very little about rooting and development in general, buy I plan to be using custom ROMs very often and I thought this site would be a good place to give feedback on custom ROMs. (I noticed you need at least 10 posts to access the developers forum).
The only problem I have with MIUI is that the messaging app constantly force closes.
Welcome ..
the 10 post limit is a bummer .. but you'll get there ..
Rom paradise will open soon ..

Hey guys I'm interested in flashing my sprint GS4 and was wondering in your opinion what is the best 4.4.2 AOSP ROM. It is very important that this ROM is stable. Thanks

If it is unlocked and your using a GSM sim from another carrier than you got more than just stable rom to worry about. You need to do some additional steps to get dialer and calls working on AOSP but if you are just using it on sprint CDMA than you are fine and can just flash Slim Rom which I think is most stable of all of them. Gummy is great. Another thing you gotta keep in mind is that you should flash the supported gapps that the developer mentions in rom thread because if you flash wrong Gapps version that can cause instability. Slim roms has always been stable for me and use it with small gapps which is just 56mb. Slim roms is actually 4.4.4 which is even better than 4.4.2

Sorry, "Best" ROM threads are not allowed on this development site. Members are expected to do the research and read through the ROM threads to decide and pick what "may" be best for them. Bugs and fixes members come across will be found in those threads. Asking opinions like this will only get you a list of what everyone is running...no real information...all of that only comes with research. Best advice anyone can give you is to make a backup and flash. Try one out that you think is best for you for a day or two...don't like it? Flash another. But always always always backup before flashing anything.

So im new to this forum but not to rooting and flashing. Basiclly though im thinking of rooting but not sure there are any stable roms worth flashing and any issues i should look out for. Someone please help me get back into rooting n flashing on op5. Thanks in advance.
Codename Phoenix and Candy ROM are the two most stable and smooth Oreo ROMs that I have used on the OP5. Most custom Oreo ROMs for this phone have bugs, are missing features or don't run all that smoothly. The majority of the Nougat ROMs and kernels for OP5 aren't going to be updated to Oreo because most developers have abandoned the phone since it was only sold for 4 months and unified ROM development for the OP5/5T appears to be impossible. Unless you are one of those people that buys a new phone every year the OP5 is going to end up being a terrible purchase. The Codename Phoenix dev is talking about getting a new phone (definitely not from One Plus) and abandoning his ROM for this device. The dev of Flash Kernel switched to a Pixel 2XL and might also abandon development for this phone. If you use a non-OOS ROM Flash and Blu Spark are the only two custom kernels left that you can flash.
