Looking for a new rom, and the best programs

Hey guys,
I had been using an older version of itje's touch it rom from last September or October. I liked it alot, but my old wing broke, so I lost everything. They sent me a new one, and I'm looking to update it with the best that's out there. My problem is it seems this place has grown a bit in popularity...holy crap there's alot of choices out there! So what are the best of the best to put on my phone? I can't live with this stock rom another day!
I would go with itje's newest, but I had major issues with receiving MMS messages on the old one. Not sure if it was his fault or not, but I saw someone mention the same problem with his newest rom. Or am I mistaken? I really liked his rom as a whole and would definitely recommend it though. Perhaps he has a new one that will fit what I'm looking for?
I saw a thread with that "ultimate launcher" which looks pretty cool. Also saw this "g-smart touch" today screen which looks really cool. I'm looking for something with some cool features, I think it was getting a little monotonous the way I had it before.
Aside from the Rom/Today screen, are there any new useful programs that are out there? I see the youtube video thing, seems cool though I don't watch videos very often. Anything out there that is a "must have"?
Anyone have some suggestions?

i used Ttran's open touch v4.. i like it.. i only had my wing for a week so its the only rom ive used.. but i like it cuz he put alot of programs in it...

Try the newest version Touch-It 7.1 Public Beta; it is based on the newest WM6.1 version and has been built with the experience gained since last year. Although it has been built for the Herald, you can use it on your Wing. There might be some small conversion glitches, but there are several fixes for those glitches.
If you decide to use this ROM check in with Duprade; who has been using Touch-It on his Wing if I remember correctly. His comments are quit usefull normally.

stay away from the sd open touch micro 4.1, the thing is fast and stable and I love how it runs, but battery life is horrible.
I forgot to charge my phone the night before so I Started off at 50%. I turned my phone! few hours later I turned it on, only to see my battery dropped down to 35%. I turned it of again! a little bit later I turned it on and i was down to 25%. I popped the battery out, and left it out, later I put it back in and turned it on and i was at 23% (that I can understand)
I just kept my phone on for the next 2 hours and it dropped down to 18%.
I think it drains more while the device is off than when it was on.

[REQ] Manila - other effect

Just found this:
http://shop.orange.co.uk/shop/show/offer/htcdiamond?WT.ac=ACSPPMO_3R
In this flash animation changing the tabs in manila comes with an other effect.
Is it a new ROM?
(sorry if lame)

I think that is just an old version of manila being shown there, as far as I know the animation effects were reduced because of the high overheads and therefore to speed up the response of the Diamond.

yeah, its the old slow version...
i know someone who still has that on his phone

I see... thanks
I thought it was something new... never mind

wow, i forgot how cool that looks. i remember seeing that in April and i had to buy this phone... to bad that animation and the 00:00 and flip to current time at home screen is gone too.
will forever be missed

You can install this version if u want. And i cant say i lags so much. U can dload it here http://rapidshare.com/files/168002454/manila.cab.html

in old TF3D versions, every time you returned to home, initially the clock would display 00:00 and flip to the current time.

but who wants to run an old version? not me. we are just discussing the fact that is has been discontinued. thats all

Well we dont want an older version but we want the feature of it. Im sure it can be incorporated now since the custom roms speed TF3D quite a bit it may not even be that laggy, or just have it as a setting in TF3D config for those that do want it.

How do we find out what files are needed to make this happen

I vote for this to
yea I to would love that feature actually have asked for herg to use it in his fuze flip clock cabs but he said he didnt know how to...but yea to get that feature back would be kick ass!! I actually have a file that if used with Manila customizer gives you that effect an even makes the tf more smoother like a glide effect not skip

SOLVED
Ok guys, hold on to your boxers 'cause Santa has just dropped in...
If you want:
1. Original Manila (full animation), download "tlr-manila.cab".
2. T-Mobile theme on original Manila: tlr-manila-tmobile.cab
3. Optimized+fade animation+slider effect: tlr-Manila-38.cab
Note: I have been using #3 for 4 months so far, and its VERY stable, light, and the animations are stylish enough.

I'm trying to install #3 but the progress bar moves extremely slowly and near the end, it fails saying that it doesn't have sufficient permissions
After that, my home screen is empty except for the tabs on the bottom

Does this mean that it is an older version of Manila? Or did you enable the effect on a newer version?

Flashed my 1st ROM today (Very Exciting:) Have a ?

Today I flashed my 1st ROM (MYN's Warm 2.2) very exciting and exhilirating. I also downloaded HTC Kernel #17. I used Unrevoked 3 to get superuser and used My Backup Pro to backup. I used this guys instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWcIBcZvxw
Everything seem to go fine. I did what he said and wiped Dalvik and Cache after I installed Myn's ROM. Will that automatically install the HTC Kernel #17 after a reboot or do I have to manually do that like I installed the ROM in Recovery. Also what does the Kernel do? I follow you guys alot on XDA and you guys are VERY HELPFUL. Thanks for any help
Also, what are some other cool ROM's. I can see this becoming an addiction

Myn's ROM comes with the HTC #17 kernel already, so you don't have to flash it. If you'd like to install a kernel though, it would be flashed the same way as the ROM.
The kernel is the primary system components of the OS.

Thanks for your quick reply. After I installed Myn's ROM I wiped Cache and Dalvik again, will this hurt me and will I need to install MYN's ROM again. Everything seems to be working fine.

Everything is fine. The Dalvik cache is built upon first boot of a new system. You wipe it after installing a new rom to remove the remnants from the old one. You can wipe the dalvik as much as you want honestly, it's just going to make your next reboot take longer because of having to build the dalvik up again

Cool. Thanks. This whole flashing ROM's is pretty darn cool.

Welcome to the club!
Myn is a very popular ROM for good reason. Another popular ROM is CyanogenMod 6.1. It is missing 4G and HDMI at the moment, but the team is working on getting those included. A lot of people swear by it!

I have heard about CyanogenMod 6.1, but keep reading good things about MYN's Warm 2.2. So far so good

No need to change if you are happy with what ya' got!

I know a dude who has the Fresh ROM and when he turns his EVO to landscape and if he is ion Apps, they will turn landscape as well. That's really nice

Addicting indeed!!!
I just flashed my first last week, I think I flashed my 4th ROM this past w/e but I wound up going back to the 2nd one. I've tried the following ROM's if you're interested??:
- MIUI (12.3) Awesome ROM, imho, but it was somewhat buggy still related to MMS, receiving voicemails and 4G no worky. It DOES have some really cool features built into it that most other ROM's you'd have to download the app for it's features.
- Evo NonSense (3.3) I really like this ROM too, somewhat similar to the stock but has a cooler look and like the way it navigates via ADW.
- Myn (RLS4) I liked this ROM but, honestly, was a little let down by it's simple layout, I think the hype I've been reading about Myn ROM's got me a little over anxious........lol.
- CyanogenMod (6.1) I think I had this one up and running the shortest, it didnt really do much for me but I will admit that I think I was in too grumpy of a mood possibly so I might try it again. The biggest reason for it's short lived existence is the lack of 4G, like a few others above.
I wound up going back to Evo NonSense just cuz I like the way it navigates around, the slide lock screen and overall look/appeal of it. I'm about to upload it's latest version.....

Man, thanks for that explanation, I was unaware of it's importance since I didnt know what it really did.
Not to raid the O/P thread but I think the answer might benefit him as well. One thing that I've noticed jumping around different ROM's is that I lose important information cached in my Apps. Is there anyway to recover that information from the back up and reinstall on a freshly installed ROM?
For an ex. I use PasswordSafe Lite to store all my important pw's and account info......I just noticed when I sync'ed up to AppBrain the information is gonzo.......is there anyway to avoid this from happening or backing it up or actually getting into a backed up copy to copy n paste that data in???
TIA!

that's pretty normal. I don't think the early Sprint roms did that, but I think the later ones do. Also pretty much any other launcher you install will do the same thing.

I keep hearing about launchers (like launcher pro). What do they do and do you install them like a ROM? What is a good Launcher?

They allow you to use a different launcher other than sense, which means you can customize it to your hearts content also you can do landscape mode which is what you are after. Launcher pro and adw are the most popular I prefer launcher pro but try them both out for yourself also they are both found in the android market which means you dont have to flash them like roms or kernels GL man if you need anymore help pm me bro

Thanks bro. I just dl'ed Launcher Pro. Will try it out. I do LOVE that loop scrolling. That's really cool
Edit: Quick question. One of the main things I like about HTC Sense is the Flip Clock with My Location and Temp. I don't see a Clock Widget for Launcher Pro. Is there a clock like this for launcher pro? thx

You want fancy widget my friend. Sense style clicks for launcher pro. You can get it in the market.
Or even better go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853832 there and get a cool themed one from the third post care of stoney 666!

This ROM is eating battery quickly I have the 3500mah battery and as soon as I take it off of AC Charge it drops 5% in a matter of a couple of minutes and drops 10% in about 10 minutes. On stock it would take about an hour to drop 10% (this is all without doing anything). I am doing the same as before, nothing has changed other than I put on this ROM. Anyone have any suggestions?

Could anyone recomment a ROM with my "needs"?

Hello everyone and greetings from Denmark
Ok, I´ve asked in the german pocketpc.ch forum, and noone could help me, so I´ll try here (maybe someone can help me out here)
My "needs" for Android NAND rom:
- no Sense!
- fast
- stable
- the new Camera (not the one with focus on the outside)(the one with all those fiddly settings ^.^)
- should last at least 8 houres at heavy use (48 houres in standby/minimal usesage
I´ve tried a lot of roms through the last days, but none of them fitted my needs.
The one which come closest was: MarkinuX HD Extra Clean V1.71
But that one startet lagging after af few days =(
And I dont want to update my rom every few days, I need a rom which can run without performance issues, lagging and "need for update" for at least half a year
I´m desperate, and I hope some of you can help me =)
Thx and good night
BeeJay

Ultimate droid? From my past experiences, it was one of the best if not, best non sense rom for me.
I have no idea what camera you are referring to, but it probably has the stock android camera.
If you are referring to a camera which takes pictures that fill up the screen, has features such as vignette, depth of field, posterize, vintage, etc, you may be referring to a sense camera app. The sense camera app cannot be ported to a non sense build.
Just to note, no android build for us can last 8 hours on heavy use, none.
I don't think you can get a rom with virtually no issues around here, but all of them are good enough for daily use.

MarkinuX HD Extra Clean V1.71 had an uptime of 75 houres at minimum use (about 2 houres of "not standby", all the time 3G, pushmail 30 minutes, some facebook checks a day, about 20 minutes of gaming)
That was really impressive!
Yes, I think I mean the Sense Cam =/ Too bad, but nothing essential
I dont want the "old" Andoid cam, where the focus is set on the outer side of the (my Droid hat that one, sucked like hell)
After an update it had focus in the mid
Would you mind to post a link to the rom u recommended?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958953
There's a link to it. however don't be jumping onto it just yet. I haven't used non sense builds in a while so there might be a better non sense build. Just wait for people to reply if you can.

You could try a Cyanogen Mod ROM and maybe use a camera app like 'Camera360' to take pictures? Doubt you'll get that long out of the battery though.

There are 3 or 4 others. Just clean cache dalvik too and update any miui on another.
The standout features are,
1 Pulldown bar has a data toggle that actually works.
2 The best network usage monitor I have ever seen.
3 Its small, only 70 to 80 Meg update.
4 You can customize anything including fonts and all icons.
5 Its own built in music player downloads song lyrics which are played on screen as you listen.
6 Has its own legal market with apps we never see.
7 Has its own Dev site.
8 You can have as many screens as you want(12 for me) and no performance issues.
9 Text appear in a jump out box for quick reply.
There are many more standout features making miui the is of choice.
Good luck again.

any animation recommendations?

I personally don't like the ICS build 6 animation. can someone recommend a good boot animation [800x480], preferably one that has a black background to save battery.

I read that if you just delete/rename the bootanimation.zip in system/media it will replace it with some default android animation. Haven't tried it myself yet so IDK.

Wow how many times a day are you rebooting your phone?
I have ICS 6.1 running [using the kernel that came with it] and from when i wake up to when i get home i still have plenty of battery left [anywhere from 45-25% left] and that is usually 16-20 hours. I am not a HEAVY user but i use it a lot for emails.
I don't have any hard facts but the amount of battery saved with having a color background on a boot animation vs a black one HAS to be miniscule. I would even wage to argue it is unmeasurable.
But to answer your question anyway:
There is a WHOLE thread on boot animations with previews and directions

It's a very good ROM (build 6)

Agreed, The sensor is 100% better in 6.1 but some times i loose my network and have to toggle airplane mode. Which is way more annoying than the prox sensor. i was debating on going back to 6 as well.

My battery seems to drain pretty fast sometimes, so every little bit helps.
Also, battery is not the only concern. I like to have a black-based boot animation for when I boot my phone at night, I do not want it screaming at my eyes. I downloaded some animations from your link, not sure if they are compatible though, I haven't gotten around to installing/inspecting the contents of them yet.

I read that if you just delete/rename the bootanimation.zip in system/media it will replace it with some default android animation. Haven't tried it myself yet so IDK.

Wow! Yes, it worked. I now have a black based boot animation that says "Android" [animated]. +Thanks!
