[Q] New Phone, Which ROM? - Atrix 4G General

Ok, so I had to get a new phone after a failed OTA update, that the ATT Service Center knew nothing about.... yes the 4.5.141 update. I had Alien #4 on my phone before and I am looking for something else, just to try (yes i was rooted, ROMed, and unlocked and they just handed me a new phone). I didnt have any issues with Alien, just want to try something different. I would like to install the CM7, but I use my fingerprint scanner. I searched the main CM7 thread to see if it has been fixed and there were no returns. So, if CM7 has a working fingerprint scanner, i would install that... otherwise, what would you suggest?
Currently running: android ver 2.3.4 system version 4.5.91 baseband N_01.77.30P Kernel 2.6.32.9
I plan on rooting and ROMing this weekend!

I'm not super up-to-date with what all the ROMs have, but I don't think very many have the finger print scanner working, so if that's important to you stick with Alien. Otherwise, I'm currently on Jokersax's ICS CM9 and loving it! Its looking great and is getting better updates almost daily. Definitely something to look at, if you interested in ICS at least. MIUI also finally got official support and is getting weekly updates, so that's something to look in to a bit too.
Good luck with whatever you choose, there really is no wrong choice when it comes to the awesome developers in these forums!

CM7 Weekly has Fingerprint
There's also Neutrino based off of the weekly and also has it.
I recommend using neutrino as it has a bunch of performance mods.
There's also acerbix CM9 FP builds but I don't think they're finished yet.

All the ROMS except CM9 and CM7 nightly have FP unlock working. I'm using it on CM7 weekly.

Ok I should have also said to add links, lol. I did notice an issue with the Alien that i did not think was an issue.... its slow to boot. The stock phone boots in i would say 30-45 seconds, Alien would boot 90-120. ....So that being said, I wish for a ROM to have a faster boot then the Alien.

CM7 or a ROM based off CM7 (e.g., Neutrino). Faster than stock.

What ROM? (Coming from JF 1.5)

Hey,
I'm coming from JF 1.5 and since he has stopped developing I thought I better go to a new ROM, what do you guys recommend? How stable are the Hero ROMs for every day use?
Thanks
I would go with the latest cyanogen stable mod which is 4.04.1 one I believe, there are too differant threads for expermental and stable. My opinion is that I would not use a hero for daily use, too slow, pretty but some people say they have fast heroes
I would try either cyan or xrom. If you want to try hero I would go with jacxheroski but no matter what size swap you have you will get SOME lag and calls will come in slowly, it is all personal opinion though so you will have to see what fits you best.
I went from JF 1.51, to a Rogers, and then went from that to Cyanogen. I'd go to Cyanogen and stay there. It works well and is very fast.
Cyanogen is where it's at. I'm using his 4.1.1 experimental with no probs, but the stable is most likely safest 4.0.4.
whats a rom? is it like a firmware?
I suggest xRom, Quick, simple, easy to use and fast as hell.

lol
hero roms are fast and stable enough(for some people) however the maintainance and cutbacks such as no bluetooth, dim leds , and not being able to have many apps running are not worth it(for me at least) if you want a good stable rom i would recommend any of cyans stable roms however on weekends i do usually flash to a hero rom to see the progress that has been made
and yes a rom is like a firmware
A rom is a modified build of android based off a stock system with tons of good stuff like superuser and unicorns. The word roms were used back when we were are little kids using windows mobile and it just has stuck with us. I would have suggested xrom but that requires the danger spl but since it was asked what's a rom, I didn't think it was a good idea
Ps.. yes I said unicorns, mine has unicorns, if your's doesn't, then you got ripped off.......I would ask your rom dev for a refund
I finally took the plunge Sunday night, going from JF1.51 to CM4.0.4, and I couldn't be happier. It's like a whole new phone!
I installed the latest CM recovery image manually, then installed CM Update from the market, ran it, let it do its thing, and viola!

[POLL] What ROM do you use?

What ROM do you use, and why do you use it? What other MODs have you applied to it? For the poll I just chose the ROMs that seem most popular. I'm sorry if the one you used isn't listed, just post it here anyway.
For those that flash a number of ROMs, like me, just choose the one you use most, or the one you "fall back on" when you're done testing other ROMs
And yes, I'm aware of this one, but it's a bit outdated with the ROMs.
Other ROMs commonly used that I didn't list
I'll update this if there are a number of users that use ROMs that I haven't listed (There will be, lol)
List thus far:
SuperFroyo/SuperBler (I still just count these as CM, but hey) - No users in this thread yet, but it's apparently popular
MoDaCo custom release - 1 ex-user so far
Plain ol' rooted stock - 1 user
What about the all famous superFroyo (now called Superbler If I'm not mistaken)
Not that I've every used it but there's much attention for it.
I dno what to vote for yet
I've always used CM but I now I use blayo's to test the data2ext (which isn't really great, yet)
I might go back to CM when CM7 has the fixes for GPS and 3D. But I would love to have flash on CM hopefully someday,...
We'll cross the SuperFroYo bridge when we get to it Anyway, it's basically CM.
I started with Modaco MCR r4, but now changed to B 0.2
It's Sense-based and already has most of the changes I made to the MCR rom (update Gapps, facebook, move busybox in /system, circular battery...). Only thing added is DrRomca's "amibios" bootanimation from Modaco forums
I use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870662
It is a rooted stock rom. I can't complain about it.
BlaY0's B.02
I tried every single ROM in this section, except variations of rooted stock ROMs and this is the first that really feels a good bit faster then others (data2ext enabled).
Other then that CM is very nice of course. Used pretty much every version from Indigo Beam to the latest nightlies until 2.2 got released.
I use CyanogenMod since Azure. Now I have 6.1 and I'm waiting for a fully functional CM 7 experimental build.
I haven't tried other roms, but I follow the updates on the forum. The main reason is that I don't think that roms based on the stock one will be upgraded to Gingerbread, therefore I don't want to change rom knowing that I will be forced to return back to CM.
Big fan of CM but I use BlaY0's now. Waiting for CM7.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
CM all the way. Haven't tried BlaY0's rom but seems to be getting positive feedback from users. Won't flash it though, waiting for CM7. Sorry Blay0.
CircleMOD battery with themed notification icons, BiosAnimation bootscreen, remove some system apps. Well thats about it.
Right now I'm using CM 7, because.. well it's Gingerbread Went from BlaYo's B 0.1, and it's pretty good. Actually made me like Sense again.
using CM6.1 atm (couple of days)
but as i am reading more and more, everyone saying that Blay0's b0.7 is showing better performance than cm, but cant say till i try
i am kind a new in android word, i will use cm for a while till i get the guts to install new rom without messing something up
cheers
EDIT: from 26.02.2011 blay0's rom and it rocks
CM from the very beginning (love the tons of features/settings added)...use now CM7 (usually flashing nighties as they came out), snakehult 130DPI LCD screen density, data2ext2 (thanks TGM), CWM3 (not S-Off unfortunately) , Honeybread theme
Have tried many, now on CM7 and B0X time to time.
I need better sd ...
Standard stock rooted rom, but I'm about to test CM7-RC2.
Tried CM6.1 and it has horrid for me, so I switched to blay0's 0.7 ROM and never looked back.
I'll look into CM7 when it's pushed as a stable release. I'm not one for nightly testing.
cyanogenmod7 #8 here
First real custom ROM was CM6.1.
Then got a little bored and tried Blay0 B0.X for awhile.
Now on the first release of CM7.0 and seems stable enough for me!
Only issues I've spotted so far on CM7.0 are the Menu button/Optical pad wake, all else seems sweet
Cm7, I'm loving it

hey quick question on roms and which ones have been proven and are current..sorry

hey guys, and sorry for a question i know must have been asked before, but i am unable to find.
What roms are the best and most up to date as of now?
i was going to go with cm7 but saw we had cm9 and a few others out there, my real question is, anything better then cm7 out there?
this will be used for my wife, who just wants it to work, as little freezes and hang ups as possible, feature set means nothing next to speed and reliability.
this is my last attempt to make this phone usable for her before i take my 12 gauge to it. please please help! i have to her hear whine everyday with the 2.6.1(think that's it) kernel on there (hasn't been updated in over a year, so anything should be an improvement, it's just hard to get the phone off her long enough to toy with it)
In that case I would use either Superclean 3 or Geewiz
Both are stock EH03 based Touchwiz ROMS. Neither has bleeding edge features but they both just work and are the most up to date ROMs that come from the Samsung/Verizon base. Personally, I have found these ROMS to be the best on battery longevity.

cool, i already d/l'd the geewhiz but it's not taking like the other rom's i'm used to, flashed stock rom E3 and booted in to recovery and tried to update with gwiz through recovery, signature error of some sort, will try again with the other one you mentioned ..... or do i need to load the kernel using odin then flash rom through recovery?
I would also recomend giving Team Hacksung ICS build 6.5 w/ Icy Glitch v14 b4 kernel a try! No doubt superclean and geewiz are great roms, but I think you will like ICS 4.0.3 the best...just sayin.

[KERNEL][CM9][1/29/12] Icy Glitch V14 - BETA - LiveOC - Voodoo - DIDLE - USBhost
gotta bail from work will be back on with the tablet in about an hour.
ICS still has some issues and while it's good enough for 99% of people if this is for pure stability for a nontechnical user I'd say to go for the ROMs I mentioned earlier. Some issues on ICS are MMS doesn't work with wifi on, the datadata issue, the ui is a bit different from Touchwiz ROMs, phantom ring still occurs, CWM and nandroids still have some issues, and it's on a pretty rapid release cycle which would mean that you would need to update her phone fairly often.
ICS is great and it's what I'm running but I think the more mature EH03 ROMS are appropriate in this case.
EDIT:
The link you have goes to Glitch which is a kernel. That is part of the operating system but isn't the entire ICS OS. ICS ROM development is centered over at the rootzwiki developer forum. AOKP, Gummy, and teamhacksung's build are the premier builds.

Yeah, i figured if the kernel was in beta the rom would be as well, got her on super clean and she likes it , still can't tell the difference between that and a 2.6.1 build that was beta around a year ago,lol, thanks for the help and ics is sick , but bob nailed it in regards to my intentions.
That said , thanks to the both of you for bothering with this b.s. question in the first place , i was at work trying to sort her phone out , she needs her phone , life is chaos and time is short, thanks for making it all a little more easy. Also great to see such great support still going on for this, envious with my charge in regards to roms.
Hope i don't need to post here again for a while if you get what I'm saying, haha !! Thanks a ton !

ICS v. Sense

I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but how do you guys feel about the current development behind the ICS ROMs v. Sense (I've namely looked into The Classic 1.0 and DigitalKarma's Heaven "Sense4 meets Sense1" so far).
I haven't played around with Sense at all since rooting my phone back in September when I flashed CM7. Currently, I have jmztaylor's unofficial CM9 ICS ROM (5-10 stable build, I believe) on my phone and I'm liking it. However, I mainly hopped over to CM in order to get rid of the bloatware, thus increasing my battery life while at college (where I got awful service). Now that I've graduated, I'm home, working, and best off all, I have great service again.
That being said, I've been thinking about trying out a Sense based ROM again but can't decide if I should stick with ICS or not.
Thoughts? Opinions on any and all of the ROMs pertaining to ICS and Sense are appreciated.
I apologize. I only searched the General forum when seeing if this has been asked before, but I just found this on the Q&A forum.
Input is still more than welcome here, as my topic is a little more specified and I'd like to have reasoning behind the input too. But I'll continue reading that thread as well.
I personally love jmz's cm9 rom. Sense does offer 4g and Netflix and camcorder but it usually looks annoying and is pretty slow. Cm9 is smooth and fast with no annoying colors. I can't wait for a more stable version of sense 4 for the og evo.

i need help
ok my problem is that i flashed MazWoz b5 which is ics 4.0.3 now when i flash back to ginger bread nothing works right either wont get texting or google play wont load the last problem was that when i download an app to install as soon as it finishes and goes to install it reboots. i did it all i wiped everything but sd card i flashed the roms and if the dev had kernels with it i flashed them as well i then load up and still get errors i have no clue on what is happening.
i am using smelkusmod v4.1 recovery could this be the issue i have an ext 3 as well
Flashed Classic earlier to give it a shot. Sense just feels so incredibly foreign to me now so I decided to revert back to ICS at least for the weekend. After that, I may give Sense another go around.
This time with ICS, I'm giving MIUI a shot since I've been on CM (7 and then 9) since I originally rooted.
All feedback is still welcome, because eventually I'll probably end up trying more to see what feels the best for me.
both jmz's and mazda's cm9's have been stable for me...but seeing mazda's is based off of jmz's it makes sense. aokp has been stable at times with certain builds but i have to admit that i was never had the same results after reflashing at times

Partition your SD card
bump it to ext3
then to ext4 (for aosp and ics ONLY!)
wipe all except SDcard 3 times
then install
I recommend Mazdariders23 CM9 ROM: http://changelogs.tincandroid.com/CM9.html
(Btw mazwoz is now b6)
I also recommend this kernel: http://goo.im/devs/atyoung/Mason-RC/Mason-EI-0.1.5-RC5-sbc-supersonic-signed.zip (thats for cm9 only)
here is for all ICS ROMs: http://goo.im/devs/atyoung/Mason-RC/Mason-I-d15rc4-sbc-fso-supersonic-signed.zip
smelkusmod is now version 3: http://d-h.st/users/smelkus/?fld_id=1930#files
I had to unroot my phone last week to get a replacement I was on jmz cm9 before he left and came back. I didn't miss not being able to record video but now that I'm too lazy to reroot. I'm stuck on sense and I finally tried Netflix and been recording videos more. I still like ICS but I will stick to stock until my next phone.

Thanks for the response but before I signed back on and see your post I flashed teamwin recovery and flashed the stable cm7.2 and every thing is working again I am going to look into re doing my ext partition I think I did it wrong
I like pics much better than sense but! I'm liking sense 4.0 and the port by Platt is turning out amazing!

Good and stable ROMS

Hey guys, so I'm kinda new at doing custom roms and kernels and I'm super eager to learn everything. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone succesfully yesterday. But of course, rooting the nexus s is a must to install custom roms.
I want to know what you guys think are GOOD and STABLE ROMS where everything seems to function.
I was looking at the nexusshacks website and they have the AOKP kang jellybean ROM but I'm hearing from a bit of people that not everything works and it freezes at the boot screen. also there's a problem that apparently you cant see your gallery and music, and also data doesnt work on it.... I just want something that works good and is stable and gives me good battery life!
Thanks for your time

The best thing about these ROM is you can try them for yourself and see if it work for you.
A lot of people don't follow the instruction and complain all the time, there are people enjoying the ROM and you will never hear from them. My respect to the developers who do great work, because of them I have the latest and best android experience ever, for the last two years I have no need to upgrade my phone.
Try them all.

Hi
Rooting isn't a must for installing custom roms you can always use fastboot tool to install custom recovery
I've flashed one million custom roms to my i9023. And what I learned from it is flashing most of them was just a waste of time. However, if I hadn't done this, I wouldn't have known what to choose now. Gingbread roms are really fast and responsive. However they are not so smooth when it comes to scrolling. Also gingerbread roms lack a lot of nice features that come in later builds.
ICS was a misunderstanding for me. It was slow, laggy but the functionality was better than gingerbread. I was ready to sell my nexus because of that disappointment.
Finally Jelly Bean came along. And that, my friend is something different. Project butter makes the phone so smooth, scrolling is superb, animations and applications seems so smooth now. Speed of gingerbread(almost) and looks and functionality of ics
You can try every rom you can. You're gonna waste a lot of time just on flashing restoring, flashing and restoring and so on. You might even get frustrated. Or you can try this and simply start liking your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854366
This is pretty stock, just the way I like it. It's freaking smooth, it hardly ever lags, perfect to bring you some smile from using your nexus most of other roms always come up with some bug or lack of some feature that works on stock rom. The rom I mentioned simply works. Trust me and install this one and you won't regret

cool thanks man... ONE question before I begin... Im assuming the kernel is already in the ROM .zip file here right? Now if the kernel is seperate do you just add into the SD card like adding a ROM to the sd card? do you have to do anything under recovery?
Kernel is included. Just install this rom from the recovery kernels are always in a zip file, you install them like you install a rom.
But this time you don't have to even think about the kernel, because it's already built into whole rom zip file

the pic & music issue is probably related to the bad Rom manager app update that put .nomedia files where they didn't belong.
I always run a new/updated Rom with its baked in kernel for a day or two to see how it does before flashing a separate kernel, unless I have major issues related to the baked in kernel. Not all devices act the same, even on the exact same setup.

If you're new to the whole flashing game with the android devices id say start with Flashing Custom Kernels. So you can get the the feel for what just the kernel can do for your phone. There's a couple well named ones that you might hear a lot about like the Matr1x Kernel, GLaDOS Kernel, Thalamus Kernel. For the most part a few of them have the same stuff but certain Kernels run faster or smoother. Once you get the hang of that then move to Custom ROMS. As everyone says you kinda have to try out Everything for yourself as 2 people can have 2 completely different experiences with flashing. Essentially though, the Names that you see a lot are typically the most liked ROMS and Kernels for there Features and Stability.
Happy Flashing
I think its the other way around due to fact that I would not recommend flashing a kernel over stock ota without backing up first. Reason for this is that if you want to get an ota update with the stock ROM it won't work if the kernel is different from the one Google provides (experienced this problem while trying to flash a completely stock Google provided rom). So I would first flash a ROM and test it, trying as many features and see if that's what I like and then start experimenting with different kernels as most might not be stable for your particular phone. I am a vanilla Android type of person nonetheless.
Note: the rom a developer chooses are most likely the ones that he thinks are the most stable so in theory you should not run into any problem with it.

Hey guys i really appreciate the advise. Just to let you all know, I flashed AOKP kang ROM and it's so smooth and quick. I also flashed a matrix kernel v.22 (believe its the cfc version). However, I was really hoping to overclock my cpu a little to get some better gaming performance. I'm looking everything under the ROM settings and the actual phone settings to see if there's anything to change for the cpu.
How do I overclock the cpu??? I know there's customizable roms where you can overclock the cpu for games then tone it down for normal usage and what not; that's really what I wanted.

I use a an APP called "NSTools" or "SetCPU"
I'm order to oc, you must be using a kernel that supports oc. The matr1x 22.5 (his jb version) doesn't support oc, but he should have a new version it soon. I can't say if it can be overclocked though.

I've tried a lot of roms and a lot of them are really good (I like to change a lot) and in my opinion you have to try a lot of them and chose your favourite
p.s.every time you flash a rom or kernel is better to make a backup(and then a wipe), so if something went wrong you can restore the phone as it was before.. sometimes kernel is not included in rom, you have to check it in phone informations.
I hope this was what you needed

Hey I actually checked out that codename jellybean thread you showed me... I clicked on the link and their zip is 3.1.0 and i have 3.3.2 downloaded on my computer.... I got the file from nexusshacks.com - am i missing something? Also, Im not sure if there's a kernal that comes with it, so i was wondering if there is any kernels and if there is, do you have a link?:cyclops:
EDIT: I'm going to have to apologize to AOKP. I think the ROM i was running on my phone was a buggy ROM, the unstable one before BUILD 1. I didnt realize this until I watched a video on nexusshacks.com.. but either way i flashed codename jellybean

I gave you the link with 3.3.2.. even because it's the same ad 3.3.0 but updated:laugh:
kernel is not included in that rom.. I use air kernel, which has everything you asked for (use nstools to control it). this is the link
