Hey guys am running nero ka5 I think and really like it. I was wondering is there a way to flash voodoo color? I think the rom doesn't have it included.
I also have a captivate and for some reason the screen and colors just look so much nicer on there which I am assuming is due to voodoo color.

It requires kernel support, right now only found on Eugene's Dead Horse and Ttabbal's Dragon 4, but they're kinda buggy at the moment.
If you want something similar, try downloading an app called Galaxy S Tuner. It's quite ingenious and will let you tweak color, sound, and a bunch of other things (which I have not touched).
What FULLY WORKING (meaning that everything that works on STOCK rom works on the alternative rom!) roms do you recommend?
Thanks!
any 2.2 rom. Cyanogen would be my pick.

It did when i used it. Tango, ooVoo, and Fring worked perfectly.
and the Problem doesn't like with CM7 not working with those apps. It's those companies have not upped their app to work with 2.3.
The ROM it self is fine. It's the slow developers for those companies.
good to know, thanks. I really am liking cm6. Low battery consumption, plus I still get a TTF camera. I'm curious to try out video chat too. Back when I was trying it previously it seemed like Tango wouldn't work, but it was working on the Nexus S. I could be wrong though.
Thanks again.
Ice Glacier v1.1.4. I have to say it's "fully functional" because the only issues with it are:
- Force Close if you type a new Message, click Paperclip (attachment), attach GPS coordinates
- Camera has no shutter sound
You can't get more stable/functional than Ice Glacier. I didn't want to tarnish my perfect baby (stock ROM). I loved how fast the phone was out of the box and I thought I wouldn't like the TMO twist on Sense, but I was wrong.
I hesitantly went to Ice Glacier, trying the themed ROM first. It wasn't for me, so I switched to un-themed. I've never looked back.
So my vote is Ice Glacier v1.1.4 un-themed (stick with Gorilla's v05 kernel, which comes w/ Ice Glacier).

Why 1.1.4 over 1.1.6?
Head on over to the thread and read a few of the recent posts (from me, TrueBlue, etc.) Teamsilence is no longer developing this ROM, so v1.1.4 was really the last stable build.
In v1.1.5, Notxel left out Swype and there were some kernel changes. v1.1.5.1 added Swype back in. v1.1.6 reverted back to the kernel from v1.1.4 (Gorilla's v05).
The Location Picker error was supposed to be fixed in "the next release," but that never came to fruition. I flashed v1.1.5, reported Swype was missing, beta Swype wasn't functional, so I reverted back to v1.1.4. There isn't anything really fixed in .6 and I've seen more people report issues with it than not.
So, v1.1.4 is solid as a rock, smooth, fast and there just isn't any other ROM for this device, IMHO. Your device was meant to run Ice Glacier v1.1.4.
Been awhile since i got a new rom, wanted some input on some good roms out there. Any opinions would be fine, aosp and sense, and also battery life? I dont want my phone dying quickly
Been really happy with MikG 2.2. It's stable, fast, and feature rich.

If you don't have 4g or just don't care, MIUI is a nice change. Lots of features. Very easy theming
Evo HW 003
MIUI 1.7.1
As in all of these threads, I refer you to VaelPak. See the link in my signature.
Another good ROM is Deck's AOSP project.
With any ROM, you'll also want to look into kernels, undervolting, etc. to get the most out of your battery.
MikG and synergy are both great

I've had a lot of fun with Calkulin's EViO 2 series and now the release of EViO 3 series
CM7.1 with Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC, RedGinger theme, customized LauncherPro, and the ViperMOD undervolting script is my current setup, and it is a ton of fun. Look around the Themes & Apps section and plan a nice fun setup. Battery life for me with this setup is superb; 20 hours of moderate use and I'm at 38% on the stock battery.
tl;dr: Cyanogenmod 7.1 + Tiamat 3.3.7 + theme/fun setup + ViperMOD = fun, aesthetical glory, and a great battery life.

Synergy ROM
I really like this rom. I've just switched from cm7, so I haven't mastered it yet or anything... I can't get my boot animation to change through ....data/local/bootanimation.zip .... It still plays the synergy mod animation, anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks in advance
oh yeah :

i recommend myn's warm 2.2 RLS5(used this ROM for 5 months).
I recently flashed Synergy RC1 as my new daily.
both are very stable with minimal bugs and are very user-friendly.
myn's 2.2 or Synergy.
Sorry, just curious. Is there a stable sense 3.0 rom available?
MikG 2.2 for Sense & CM7.0.3.1 for ASOP
Synergy RC1 or MikG 2.2 for sense and Decks 1.2.1 or Salvagemod 1.3 for aosp.
Lately, I've been having quite a few issues with CM7. I've been flashing nightlies every day for a few months now and there is always some issue it seems. Besides instability, I'm a bit bored of CM. I'd like to try something new, something reliable, lightweight, and stable. I love being able to tweak every aspect of my phone though. Any suggestions?
I have tried (I have mt4G and G2) iced glacier, royal ginger, miui, cm6, cm7, and nightlies.
Personally, miui & cm7 are the best.
My girlfriend ran cm7 forever. She loves to tweak her phone but somehow had rotten luck, and glitched her phone on cm a lot.
I installed miui. She hated it right away, as did I, but later it grew on her. I did a nandroid backup and she asked for cm7 back. Now she says she likes miui better, and a bit later goes well I like them both.
My point. Dude try em all
Miui is pretty slick for customizing. I personally like my cm7 with the minimal theme and icons. It looks almost like dos. Green text on black for terminal. 2screens. Everything in folders. It owns. Anyhow. Done rambling

Keep in mind I've only had this for a single day, but I'm really liking meXdriod. It's like a flashy, better looking cm7. After I turned the screen animations off it seems faster than cm7 as well, and everything works just fine, wifi calling is my biggest requirement and it worked right away. I don't know how much weight you can give it, but with mexdroid set to 1.1 OC I got a 2200 on quadrant.

Yeah, pretty much. Flashing a new ROM only takes about 5 minutes (after its downloaded). May as well try a bunch, and see what you like best. Everyone has different needs and tastes. Maybe you don't have time to try them ALL, but at least start with a few recommendations, and try them out.
HTC Clay SuperCM7
Apart from CM7.1.0, my favorite rom for my G2 is HTC Clay's SuperCM7 2.4. Here's a link to where you can get the 2.3 version. I had to root around on the internet to find the slightly updated 2.4, he never released it or updated it in ClockworkMod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076691
It runs fast and smooth and battery life if great. It's mostly just a themed/tweaked CM7, but it seems to have fewer issues. the only thing i really missed was access the FM Radio, but you may not use that at all.
I would suggest cm7 based roms. my favorite is the ice and fire with ice cream sandwich love. miui is nice but not my cup of tea... And beatmod bliss sense and desire hd 1.3 are my favorite sense 3.0/3.5 roms. but its your choice on whatever you like.
Ten words.
I'm using Virtuous 2.0.0. I have to admit that I like sense somehow. If you want a stable, smooth sense UI with an awesome cpu clock daemon, try this.

Why not use a CM7 stable release then? 7.1 just came out recently. You can't flash nightlies then complain about bugs and instability
Other than CM7 my go-to ROM when I want a change is tun4f1sh' bulletproof MIUI.

Try using IWLT cm7 it is really fast and battery saver because it is built in with the custom oc daemon based on the virtuous oc daemon so you wont need 3rd party apps like setcpu and other
You should really give it a try!
Was having some problems with CM7 too and decided to try something new. Except for the lack of an app drawer, I'm digging Bulletproof MIUI right now.

Try virtuous unity v2.39.0 or virtuous beta 2. Currently using virtuous unity v2.39.0 & works great. Plus sense 3.0.

ILWT CM7 and others..............
I find myself going back to ILWT every time I try a different ROM . It is the most customizable ROM IMO
Going to flash using virtuous beta 2.

Which rom should you try? ALL OF THEM.
Which rom should you stick with? the one you liked most.
I can't believe people are still making threads about this topic.
That's a bit harsh, some people don't want to experiment so much as just find something that works for them. Also, some of these rom's need a little time for a new person to learn about them before you can decide on it, so it's nice if people give objective opinions on the different types so a new person can at least get an idea of where to start. I've tried one of each of the main types (Sense, CM, and Miui) and didn't like any of the sense-types at all. I didn't like MIUI at first either but realized I could put GoLauncher on it and have it work like I want it to. On my phone at least it seems like MIUI runs faster than any of the others I've tried, at least it gives me higher scores on any of the benchmarks I've run using the same cpu setting.

Oi everyone,
ive been wondering, since I honestly love the PA rom and the colours that come with it... is there any way to flash franco kernel and keep the colours you get once you flash the stock PA? I gave franco a try a while ago, mostly because i planned to undervolt, but being used to PA colours, those that came with franco were simply unbearable for me I dont want any 3rd party apps to fiddle with the ips panel settings, id like simply to keep the PA colours + franco
