[Q] Continuing MIUI without trip?

As im sure many of you know that trip left x10 to get a new device bc he got pissed. But his ROMs were amazing no doubt, but couldnt someone use his base and pick up where he left off? Yes im aware other devs have some miui ROMs, but im talking specifically trips base. Im sure plenty of people including myself have his latest download on their computer before he took them off.. just a suggestion and not trying to piss anyone off.

i can only see one thing...camera. all the rest could be developed by almost everyone

I don't see the point in developing from Trip's base.
The one advantage Trip had over the other MIUI devs was camcorder. Other than that, his and Rdanarr's are almost exactly the same. In fact, I find rdannar's ROM faster than Trip's GB rom was...
In about 2 months Camera/camcorder will come to the X10 thanks to SE, so that'll be fixed too.
In short, Trip's base not at all too different from all the other MIUI ROM's base

I tried miui for a week or so but ended up going back to J's cm7 Tom. Once cm7 is fully complete and stable it will be a great base for all other YB Tom's - especially because everything is built from source.

just to let you know, Trip;s miui was all from base too.
cm7 has along way to go to in order to be compared with trip's gingerbread rom.
there is no other gb rom as stable as trip's

Why so many broken roms whats good?

So I would like the latest and greatest, but seems like so many roms being released in dev forum are missing a lot of functionality or broken. The only rom that I ever kept and still am using is called "Koni's Elite" something. Is there a sense 3 rom that has gps,4g,sprint hotspot, gapps etc etc all working? Why do people even release broken stuff in the first place.

The Elite 3 is sweet he is coming out with a Elite 4 be4 long. The latest rom's aren't really broken they are built off the latest OTA leak and some other leaks. So it's all for eye candy and something new for people to mess with.
Until sprint does the OTA update the latest roms that are built off leaks are buggy. They are waiting on sprints OTA to get all the info and fix all the bugs that are in the builds so until then they are just working with what they have.
Try kings rom or CM7 there nice. The Devs do what people wanna have and see and have. They want more eye candy something new even if it's broken or buggy. So there working pretty hard to keep things going.
No there is no sense 3.0 that is out or anything that is built off it that isn't bug free yet.
Hope this helps PM me if you want to know of some other roms that not buggy and are nice.

CM7 is all you need...........

CM7 is great to use waiting till they fix most of the bugs or till the next stable build comes out. If you use CM7 keep it update they had to fix a security issue with the older builds. This is a sweet rom tho. Nice clean.
King's rom out of this world is fast decent battery life.
Virus rom's are nice.
Look in the Dev's list wiki.
Myn's Warm Point 2.2 is sweet
Mik's Rom is fast and looks great.

Go back to stock and stop taking up space in the general forum with questions which should be in the Q&A forum.

Really? These people put in their free time without pay DEVELOPING rom's to work on our phones. That is why it is called development. They release it to us "broken" so we can test it and help them in the development, and because it is fun for us. If it is that much of an inconvenience for you then either don't flash it or develop a ROM yourself that is bug free. These guys work around the clock to try to bring you the latest ROM/leak free of bugs. It is not as easy as you might think.

Lol there are still good roms out there im happy we get to test things without having to pay a big ass feee to try. Since it's free and you can edit it makes it a playground for good stuff to happen oh yea

CM7 is the latest and greatest (AOSP) and is fully functional minus 720p recording.
Tapa tapa tapa

Thanks. That cleared things quite a bit. I will give CM7 a shot bc I can live without 720p recording on a crappy camera. Didnt mean to sound unappreciative of the communities efforts.

Thanks. I've done a couple of basic Evo roms, but I really don't have too much free time on my hands these days. I have two little kids at home, and working full time, plus 2 part time jobs to pay the bills. It's expensive to pay rent and support a family here in California -- super expensive!

[Q] Evo Rom Suggestions

I have been looking into 2.3 Rom and there are few out there as of today that include gingerbread. I am not sure which is best, what would be recommended by users experience.
I did take a look at the Wiki Page about roms and browsed through the pages.
I would like to get some feedback from you guys that already updated their roms to what would you recommend and pros and cons that you found.
Thank you

Cyanogenmod 7 is the undisputable best. No other ROM will work as flawlessy. A manufacturer could not have written a better ROM. It's perfect in every aspect. If it's your first time messing with ROMs then I would suggest this one because otherwise you will have issues with other ROMs. Besides every function works for CM7. GPS, camera, 4g, etc...

Deck's or Salvage mod are the way to go.

You are telling me that those ROMs work as perfect as CM7? I don't believe it.

Depends on your preference. Sense or aosp? A lot of them still have some bugs but if you search the forums you can find fixes. Just make sure to make a backup before you flash! What may work great for you might not for someone else due to different hardware and what not. Trial and error is the only way!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

...WELL! from my experience flashing roms, if you want to flash and roll about your day and not worry then a sense rom like FRESH or Mikfroyo or Sprintlovers is the way to go.
if you like to tinker and update and check in on responses about issues on a daily basis, a AOSP rom like cm7 is the way to go.

Hardly. Marginally. Barely.
Its not drastic. If at all. Only because it is, essentially, CM7 minus some 'system bloat.' Don't believe the night and day hype.

I've exclusively used CM7 for quite some time now...just switched over to evodeck and it's been a flawless experience. CM7 has given me random issues here and there. If someone asked me which one I would recommend between the two? evodeck for sure as of now. You also get 2.3.4 with evodeck instead of 2.3.3 with CM7.

im running UD ROM which is a variant of CM7. i got most things operational but get glitches every now and then, but i know my way enough to figure it out so it dont efffect me much... but for someone inquiring about flashing AOSP i was just voicing my opinion and merely stating that if you are the type to get involved and join in to discuss what can help with the advancement of CM and AOSP, as pros and cons as asked by OP...
dickhead!

My aosp daily is Kings out of this world and my daily sense is Evolvedrom shifted. I second JRE77 though. My phone doesn't like certain roms that work great on another phone. Just use RA recovery, have a good working backup, wipe everything and flash away. You'll find one. Half the fun of being rooted is trying a bunch a different roms. Lord knows I have and still do even though I have my daily drivers

If your new to roms I would try CM7 first. I personally prefer myn's stuff because I like sense better.

Fishman is good. My needs are different. I need a Rom that is atleast 2.2.1. So the capacitive buttons dont blind me on each screen press. I'd recommend ultimate rom or biwinning with the sense or sgs2 theme. I also use Bali undervolt kernel. If you haven't already test out the modems for your area. For instance for me its KB1.

I was on ICS Passion and 100% functionality is a stretch. Browsing through the thread reveals that damn near everyone else has problems too. I have issue with these devs that claim everything works when it's clearly a lie.
I'm using Fishman's 2.2 rom right now. No need to flash any other files for my needs. So far it's been pretty good.

i agree... im still on the fence of flashing an ICS rom but i think ill wait another couple of weeks bc im in no hurry to move on from a 100% functional rom
personally i think the miui camera is essential and am not sure why more people dont flash it over their roms. i use that & the stock hd recorder for a better camera experience

i also went back to a 2.2 rom...TARD...can yall post the links to the extras...i would love to try that s.gps fix...think what it was...

CM9's 16B is so functional that I put it on my Dad's phone, and he says it's running much better than it did before on Bionix. The only issue he and I have been having is the GPS, which never has worked from the beginning for us anyways, and very minor things (like the menu for toggle widgets is called lockscreens or something).
ICS is pretty awesome. You may want to give it a shot... I recommend the Icy Glitch kernel to go with CM9.

Is the official GB available for this yet?

when you say never worked, do you mean it as GPS ideally should? or even to the low standards of how the vibrant's GPS is supposed to work?
personally since everything works 100% as best as it possibly can right now on my vibrant with bionix fishman mod without a hardware gps fix, i'm very reluctant to move onto ICS if the GPS wont even lock within around 30 secs or so like i can get it to do with froyo especially if it is something i need eventually
minor things like menu names i can definitely deal with, but if froyo's GPS works better overall compared to an ICS rom, i see absolutely no reason to make the switch with this phone. if i need ICS that badly, i will get a new phone

Advice before flashing ...

Hi guys.
It's been a while since I test different ROM, I flash kernels ...
I do not even remember how was working my phone before that !
So yesterday I reflash the official Orange ROM for France, of course in Froyo 2.2, and brace yourself ... With the stock kernel ... My phone has never worked as well !
It's so fast, smooth ... Reminds me of the good times when I got this phone in my hands for the first time
All this to say, think well before flashing a ROM, put yourself in mind that Android 4.xx, or even 2.3.x, are not necessarily done to our little phone. Nothing will be faster for a daily ROM as Froyo ...
I think I would not leave again Froyo
After that you're only master of your phone, these are just opinions
* A story of someone who has tested all the ROMs available here ... *

Same for me, I tested all rom for G3 but i'm back to froyo because it very smooth and 2.3 or ics don't have video on HQ in youtube :banghead:

So its not correct to compare a complete froyo and an incomplete ics or cm7.
For me froyo wasn't so good because of the crapy touchwiz and no data2sd. I will stick with cm7

Even though ICS and GB arent complete bt still they are way smooth and better in processing than froyo....think of it as technology...it gets better with every version....n it seems laggy becoz of the fimg drivers and if now when the fimg drivers are completely fixed you can feel that GB is way better than Froyo...I think Almost all features are up and running now...almost......

I know that they are WiP, but i just warn some new users who wants flash those build without reading or follow topics.
It's sure that an official or a final port will be better that Froyo, but keep in mind that our phone just got 256 MB of RAM. Doesn't good for multi-tasking, and GB and ICS are improving in this case.
I hope some day we could have a full port / official GB/ICS, but with this phone, we couldn't enjoy all the possibility of those ROM's, i dont think so, maybe i'm wrong.
PS : Link2SD workin very well with Froyo. I never understand what's the difference of app2SD and data2SD, but i dont care if the app works

I find that 2.2 fairs the same by way of performace in comparison to cm7. But honestly i would prefer cm7 (if it didnt hav the glitches) because of how customisable evrythn is!
Sent from my GTI5800 on Kyrillos' ROM v9.5 using xda

Kyrilos v10 is based on cm7 right, do you guys have any experience with that? I've been on Froyo, tried a couple of roms, and my phone's been acting up lately. thinking about flashing to stock. It's easy for me tho, I just need something simple with less battery drain for my girlfriend. She got herself that white g3, but I'm not so inclined to test things on her phone. Scared of bricking it and then what?

Honestly, in my experience you can't brick brick a phone! I mean you really have to try to brick it and even then you have to have a combination of bad moves and bad luck for you to unequivocally brick it!!! That being said, Kyrillos 10 is based on cm7 and I tried it and loved it. The battery does last longer, it does have fantastic speed and usability and with s2e you can save a lot of internal memory without sacrificing speed if you use a good class sd card (6+). The main difference though is how customisable it is in comparison to Froyo. Nonetheless, I flashed back to 9.5 mainly because the video camera didn't work which is a must for me. As I understand it your gf would be interested more in something stable with good battery life. Best bet for g3 is v9.5. And it comes with a very well written, detailed installation guide (if I say so myself) which is about to be updated...
EDIT: Apologies for speaking before having a better overview. I am not going to bore you with details but basically concerning your SD's class it seems that this is not necessarily the deciding factor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633) and by way of speed tests I researched from other sources on the internet (e.g. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/microsdhc-memory-card-performance,3011-12.html) it seems that the Sandisk SDSQ-8192-AC11M seems to be the overall best buy. I have already contacted a reseller in Germany over e-bay to confirm if he stocks them and if so I will be buying, testing and updating!

Best Rom I've ever experienced is kyrillos' . Recently upgraded it to v10 with CM7. I got my cell now exactly where I wanted it to be ever. Will use it till someone give me a free beer to switch on to something else

Exactly! You're warning people not to flash CM7 after all the hard work Marcellusbe has done and i'm sure there are many more people who completely disagree with you but they aren't 'warning' people not to flash a eclair/froyo/ics ROM are they? Basically, i think it is wrong that you are making other people formulate opinions based on your opinion when they should try every ROM themselves and make their own judgements like you (and I) have done.

Bro, it's just a warn ... Of course, if i have to advice someone for a flash, i'll say CM7 from Marcel' without thinking anything else !
I respect all the job doing from all devs here, but i just warn "new users" cause we can see some post in general section like "Help meeeee, brick my phone ???"
Just wanna clarify it, and make new users read slowly the steps of flashing...
No offense, anywhere

that is exactly the reason why I still make custom froyo roms once CM7 is in beta stage, THEN I'll stick with it!
