Hey guys, I've been away from the mt4g section for a few days (upgraded to the amaze) and wow it totally looks like another section because of all the new releases! wth happened here lol
anyways, I don't have a lot of time to test and compare the recent releases: virtuous, capy's, and tdj's.
can someone give me a quick run through of which has the upper hand as of now.
I normally am the one to say, "just flash and test them all!!!" But it's no longer my DD because im giving it to my sis, so give me your feedbacks thanks.
TDJ's port is the best and most stable ATM.

Hello,
I own an Epic4g rooted/rommed/themed and my friend with a Hero is jealous and wants me to give his phone similar treatment. I'm sure this discussion has been beat to death but I wondering if you guys could recommend the best Hero ROMs that are out right now.
We're looking for -Speed -Stability -Battery Life. I don't want him calling me every other day because his phone is glitching. Any ROM/kernel combos that will fit the bill?
Thanks,

AOSP 2.2
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I agree. I personaly have the Nightly installed, but for what you asked for, AOSP will do.
Forgive me. From referencing the wiki page I'm finding AOSPmod 2.2. Is this not "true" AOSP or am I looking in the wrong place?
Thanks so much.
Look in the development section, its aosp's rom that was last finished in december (i believe). Its fast, small, and very stable. It was the last rom I had on my hero, and it was the best I had used.

and they didnt get any where with out asking questions either. so dont think one moment
not to ask, but do research as well. that helped me a ton
oh.. i use search functions to death... ok.. and maybe i should be a lil more specific.. also.. is there a 2.2 rom with sense that is stable? i am on 2.1 damage control 1.0(bought it this way) it is fast and the sense stuff works great.. but.. i would like some of the newer sense apps.. like friendstream.. also i keep getting error 67.. also i am flashed to cricket.. i have been told changing roms wont mess with carrier settings.. ughh.. i hate being a noob..
If this were IOS or Xbox or Wii modding.. I know a Ton.. but am Very new to android modding.. Loving my hero tho... i know it is a little slow.. but .. it is a Cool phone..
Thank you for any help...

Hi Guys
been out of the scene for some time. ive been a member since the palm treo era. been so busy at work and was sunk into the iphone world. and im tired of the cat and mouse chase regarding the unlock and jailbreak scene. recently, i just fell in love with the SGS2. just ordered the white unlocked version from a UK source. been doin some reading recently bout rooting and mods.
i believe it comes with ginger bread rom and looking around youtube, it seems to be a nice rom. but maybe in the future i would eventually root it and install a custom rom. ( any suggestions?...) any one running the ICS?
oh well im just excited im getting a bad ass phone!

Welcome back
Don't think you have to wait long for an official Samsung ICS, but if you can't wait take a look at this:
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/New-Android-4-0-3-ROM-leak-by-Samsung-for-Galaxy-S-II-I9100XXLP2-Download-Screenshots-Video-
Welcome on "our side". ;-)
As for the roms, well, here is a quick-start-guide:
1. Full TouchWiz-based ROM's like lightning and checkrom.
2. TouchWiz-based ROM's with less preinstalled apps like gingermod.
3. CyanogenMod 7 for gingerbread and 9 for ice cream sandwich
4. MIUI for a totally redefined UI.
I had them all and liked them all. There were just some that I liked more than others, and before I give you a biased tip, I'd say that you should try all out by yourself.
Installing custom-roms is a piece of cake on that device.
Have fun!

Welcome,
You'll love the phone it's a nice bit of kit.
User above has explained the rom side ill explain the kernel side,
Most basic stock, intratechs thread all stock roms and kernel odexed versions.
Looking to root or maintain a stock kernel with root, busybox etc CF Root by Chainfire.
Looking for a stock like kernel, with tweaks and good performance and battery checkout SpeedMod or Phenomenal which is based on Speedmod.
If you like tinkering with kernels then Phoenix, NEAK and SiyahKernel all very popular and can adjust them in many ways for your liking.
Most of all enjoy, you'll soon start flashing and testing out various things.

thanks guys! just found out that my phone was dispatched already by DHL hopefully ill get it in 3days from UK to US.
just also ordered a DL jig on ebay just incase i need it to restore to factory for warranty purposes.
thanks sniper for that list. would definitely try it and see what suits my taste.
nice one nikz - as far as these kernels, are they all compatible with the roms that sniper listed?
thanks again!
It depends on the kernel.
I doubt any of them is compatible to CyanogenMod 9.
The Siyah-kernel is compare to all other tho.

Only official kernels work with any ics rom. No custom kernels until kernel source is released by Sammy.
As for rom/kernel combos, I got the best battery out of cm7+siyah kernel after undervolting and stuff. Cm9 is just too good to pass up. Still getting a full day, but not 20ish hours heavy use like I did with cm7.
As far as I know all gb kernels work for all gb roms, but I would check each one. The difference is Samsung based or cm7 based(miui)

Juzt make sure it is i9100 or i9100g or other variant so you can flash the correct roms etc. And most of all welcome back and enjoy your freedom in an open community and always search before posting ;-)

Do you remember the good old Sense 2.1 times?
I used it for about three days and then went onto custom ROMs. I've tried many flavors (CM, MIUI) but I always went back to Sense ROMs.
I've never really been over the good old time when Sense 2.1 was all I had...
I'm somehow missing this. I want it back. But I also love Sense 3.x...
So this is just a thread to remember the old times...
If you have any screenshot, please post it. I want to get this old feeling back.
I'm also always looking at the front of my DHD package, looking on the screen and trying to touch it...
And I know I'm not the only one!
So, let's talk about the DHD beginnings, the old software, the old times.
And for the really nostalgic guys (I'm also thinking 'bout this): look in the DHD development section. There is a sticky with many ROMs listed. Also the good old 2.1 is under them.
I hope you understand me and I'm not the only one.
Thanks for reading.

I recently looked through the dev threads starting at the last page bought about by a feeling of nostalgia. I was even considering flashing an old discontinued rom just for old time sakes but left it for a rainy day. I think I'll really miss my DHD once I upgrade later this year.

I quite like sense 2 as well. Not too sure about going back to it though!

Because I remember the good old times? I've never been over Sense 2.1. And that's why I scare you? Because I love some old piece of software? Like the old Dropbox app?

I liked the more 2D weather animations in Sense 2.x, also the scrolling wallpaper as you change screens left/right. Maybe you can run the old ROM in an emulator in future...
One thing I did not like as much was the call answer screen controlls, especially whilst the phone was in pocket. Sense 3.x got it right now.

Sense 2 was very nice, less cluttered than Sense 3.x, but Sense 4.0 should change all of that back.
So I take it that CM9 will not be officially released for the Glacier correct? The only alternatives are the kangs that other developers grab and tweak for use on our device correct? The development section seems to be a swirling mass of ports and <insert name here>'s ICS.
How do we sort through this?
What is everyone's recommendation for a ROM nowadays.
Is ICS just a fabled dream for this unit?
Would I be better to stick with the latest CM7 nightly instead?
What do you think?
We have devs working on cm9 right now, check dev section.

alternative to cm9
Have you tried Zipps Creamed Glacier? This is a serious piece of ics work. I've tried others including cm9 which I enjoyed but has bugs and creamed glacier is the best of all for me. Hardly any issues, smooth as silk and regular updated. Give it a try.
+1 to trofmoc. Last week, I installed zips creamed glacier (he took over and built his own creamed glacier), and it was really stable. 3.10 had a couple bugs which were fixed in 3.11 today. Good stuff.
ICS for Glacier (MT4G)
I'm a total n00b when it comes to ROMs but my phone was almost bricked by Sense until I rooted it and began having lots of fun with mods.
There's an alpha for CM9, but I've flashed Creamed Glacier (Zipsnet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555574) which was really good and was about to try IceColdSandwich by blackwing182 (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551456) when I saw a cool hybrid of the two that has been working really well. It was put together by I2IEAILiiTY but he's pulled the dl down due to some "drama." I have the .zip file, but I don't want to cause trouble by posting it. Here's his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563576.
As a note, some people have been experiencing a low-mic issue (so I've gathered) and the fix appears to be this by user lincore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=531.
Good luck!

I am totally aware people are working on it, but it's not a straight from the source release as CM7 was correct?

Thanks for the suggestions people. I tried creamed glacier I think a couple months ago I wanna say and it was highly experimental at the time. I like cutting edge, but extreme cutting edge as in the camera doesn't work, wifi doesn't work, etc....is just too hardcore for me. I'm going to give Zips a shot and see how it is now.
BTW I didn't mean to sound whiny about the large amounts of stuff in the dev section, it can just be overwhelming sometimes to sort through whos working on what and where it came from you know. What stage of dev it is in, etc. We almost need some sort of trending mechanism to XDA, unless of course there already is one and I don't know about it.
I don't think you sounded whiney. It sucks when the manufacturer and carrier basically drop development for a relatively new device. I totally feel your pain.
As far as ICS on the Glacier goes, I think we're stuck with alpha and beta releases for now. The devs I referenced have been great with new releases and fixes tho. I was using royal ginger, which was good, but I'm loving the hybrid I mentioned and so far no camera bugs. I had a market free app purchasing prob but signing out of Google and back in fixed it (props to dev for that fix). I say give it a try after backing up your rom. You can always go back.
Btw, miui is working on an ICS release. I might try it.
I'm loving AOSP ICS however and Apex launcher.

I apologize up front if this seems ignorant but I don't have much time as this is a gift for a parting family member..
Just grabbed a Leo for my niece who's leaving the state tomorrow night and I need to know if there stand out rom that's VERY stable/reliable as I wont be there to flash something newer or better around the corner. NexusHD2 seems to be the front runner for ICS but I'd like some insight if I should stick with a GB rom or if NexusHD2 will be suitable.
Again I apologize but digging in a new thread and really finding what I'm looking for would take the full weekend with my schedule so any help or advise would be great.

U should use GB as it is faster and more stable in my opinion. Try Typhoon or hyperdroid roms. I have personally tested them and found them stable, fast and bugfrre
