Dear All Experts,
I'm a newbie for Android and do have some questions to ask you guys. I have a rooted MT4G.
Dump question (possibly)
Do custom Roms come equipped with latest device software update ( Froyo and soon to be Gingerbread ) or I would have manually update my device software again once Gingerbread is out before I could flash new custom Roms again?
Flashable roms include all the software you will need. If/when gingerbread rom comes out - all you will need to do is wipe and flash.
Your apps are updated through market, rom has nothing to do with it.
Thank you very much for your comment.
i have worked my way up to gingerDX V25 ( thankx to doixanh, B_jay , eagleeyetom and the development team )
Now, i want to install ICS Rom,
I unlocked my bootloader,
Have the latest naa ics kernel
but when i install the roms, i have bootloop,
please help me

I think that is personal, and depends of what you want from your phone. I didn´t like the stock eclair ROM. I prefer using Gingerbread which is based on cyanongenmod for other devices.
Froyo and Gingerbread ARE Cyanogen...
i recommend you froyobread, bugless and easy to use..
For me, I worked my way up to the latest OS, that way I got to experience them all, which gave me an overall opinion of which I liked most and that is Gingerbread. Give it a try, what could you lose?
try froyobread v23b, it's based on froyo
it's final release and bugless
but if you don't mind updating like every 2 days
try ginger dx, it's based on gingerbread
still in development so you might find any bug.

Here you go!
it's for new peeps here!
Try froyobread V.022 (Froyo) if you want xperia active launcher try V.023 but V.023 Optimized all listview and improved 2d perfomace scrolling/flinging disabled
Try GingerDX V.06 (Gingerbread) it's stable enough but it's still have bugs on Rooted file explorer (busybox problem)
I've used floyo... and now i use GingerDX
Hi all,
For everyone asking about custom roms ont 2.3.4 here is the situation :
For everyone who have upgraded the MS2 to the Official 2.3.4, no step back is possible to Froyo 2.2 or 2.2.2.
custom ROMs based on Froyo will not work (like CM7/9 from Tezet.)
=> Someone will have to build on based on the 2.3.4 kernel.
custom ROMs based on Chinese GB seems to work...
=> MS2Ginger for exemple.
custom ROMS based on Defy+ ROMs ?
So, who want that the CM or MIUI ROMs are ported to the newer Motorola kernel ? (So everyone could choose between BLUR, CM and others ?)
I say it on an other thread that the ms2ginger and the argen2stone roms are running on an ms2 with stock gb rom. Somebody must make an cm7 with the 2.3 kernel than wie can use customroms.
thanks for your thread.
But my question is, this official rom 2.3.4 does work better than froyo? or the custom rom 2.3.7 de CM7? It might be a dumb question or it's answered in another thread, if that case sorry.
Thanks
Yes i want Miui with the new kernel ! For a better touchsreen sensitivity for eg.
I try Argen2Stone 2.7 RE but i dont see adjust scrips and keep the old dialer from stock rom.
The 2.3.4 brings some bug fixes, and some upgrades.
From the kernel point of view, the same release is used (Linux Kernel 2.6.32.9). So no major bug fixes at kernel level for my point of view. Maybe some parameters changed.
The main point is for the "upgraders" to Gingerbread that can't go back to Froyo.

I tryed to flash MS2Ginger but the MS2 doesn't turn on.
I don't know.
could Anyone post how to flash step by step ?
tks
I think that the new kernel can improve MS2 performace so a rom based on the new kernel it's much better than the old modded rom.

I have the same idea...waiting for some MIUI or CM7 based on this new kernel.
I'd like someone who knows what they are doing to de-blur it. I have removed as much as I dare but still have too much moto... rubbish on the phone.
yeah agreed with u guys i wish a custom rom based on new gb 2.3.4

is true. I think it's time to leave the kernel of froyo that is old and start to compile with the new kernel brings improvements and is of GB!
GB kernel is in fact the same linux kernel version as froyo kernel, so there are not any improvements except for some minor patches.... So no reason to leave froyo.
I just don't get why you all guys updated to GB and then you all crying, you can't use custom roms and that froyo kernel is old and why gingerbread isn't used... GB kernel in custom roms isn't high priority in dev right now. Deal with it. GB kernel don't bring any valuable improvements, so only reason to leave froyo and get in GB are you all, who did that mistake and upgraded to official GB without even reading the forum here (because it was already written so many times there...).
No offense please, I'm just sayin' that GB kernel in custom roms don't have high priority, because of missing downgrade capability and because they don't bring nothing so exciting and big or valuable, nothing worth. So when dev update to GB, he can't go back to froyo - and this is quite big limitation...
Actually CM9 does work over Euro GB kernel. It is based on Chinese GB kernel. And I must say Tezet has made some really good progress with CM9.
And Defy ROMs based on Defy+ kernel have also been proved to work on Euro GB kernel.
These ROMs work if we remove devtree.img and boot.img from the update.zip and thus only flash system.
So I guess it is only a matter of time.

No crying here, just discussion, which is what the forum is for. What was your point?
may be it's better to find a way to downgrade.

I think I said my point clearly... But once again then:

And don't take my words too personal. Easy man, easy...
Sometimes it's cool to have stock ROM. But,it will be much cooler if we can switch to custom ROM's. Stock ROMs are slower and less free RAM than CM7 or MIUI. Now,I'm getting bored with MS2Ginger2.1.
All we have to do is just wait..
hi, did anyone manage to overclock after updated to stock 2.3?
android overclock doesn't work anymore after i updated
hi is there any chance of anyone cooking up a gingerbread rom for the L5 e612 i used alot of android phones now but the fastest roms are from the gingerbread roms i may sound bit wierd
Maybe if you make a 2.6.XX kernel for gingerbread

Hey guys, anyone here able to build a rom containing android Kitkat and the Halo together? It'll be awesome if there's like a build with Cm11 and Halo!
Aoson m1013
Hello Everybody
Can anyone make a nice custim rom for AOSON M1013?
Is it possible for someone to make a cwm and custom ROM for Konka V976 ?
OK this is not a requests thread. This is the forum for the Motorola Defy.
We need S7390G rom (any! custom or stock)
Hi,
We are a little group of French (& European) users, and we have a lot of troubles with our Galaxy Fresh. We tried to mod our phones a little, but we are unable to find a custom rom/stock rom/custom recovery or whatever matching with the devices. [Most of us have S7390G (and I think some have S7390E too)]
On SamMobile, the only Rom are S7390 without letters, and apparently it soft-bricked our devices.
Please we really need it, and it's a bit unfair because android users can mod their phones but us. Please, we need a S7390G stock (or custom)
:angel: Thank you very very very much.
I know it's supposed to be a challenge for developper, and it's probably too easy, but we keep hoping.
If you want to make a good action
Or maybe we should propose you a real challenge, around the S7390G Rom, but for now, I have no ideas.
Mods could you guys close this thread?
