I've been endlessly scouring this section of the forums for the last few weeks trying to figure out which rom would work best for me. There is one problem though, I can't for the life of me figure out which things work/do not work in each of the major roms. It's really important to me that nothing/minimal is broken in a rom that I choose. I'm hoping to make and maintain a list of specifically what does NOT work in each rom to help make the choices easier to sift through. The 1st posts of official rom threads usually have some things listed, but reading through the (million page) threads yields more issues.
The only problem, however, may be that most people are using a different combo of kernal/rom/hardware which obviously changes things, so I'm hoping to try and sift through that too. Perhaps make some tables to make it easier.
The Evo rom wiki has tables but only outlines basic functions.
*Mods: thought long and hard about which section to put this in, I think it's best served here.
*Devs: I'd love personal input here if possible. Thanks.

Just sayin. This section is supposed to be for posting ROMs and development related items.
I'm not a mod so It's up to them, but, this should be in Q&A.

Well, it is directly related to ROMs and development, but yeah if this isn't the right section please move it.
I totally understand the problem your having though. It's a bit unorganized but it's partially because of the vast development community that the Evo has. There is a wiki at the top of this section that might grant a little more insight. I don't know if it's exactly what your looking for.
P.S.
I do like to play "forum police" though I'm not a mod. I can understand why you posted here and it wasn't a blatant disregard for the rules. So no biggy to me anyway. The reason I get pissed is because it's already so cluttered that more threads make it that much harder.
You have to look in the OP of each thread in the android decelopement section and choose based on what you need from your phone and what you want. Myn's warm twopointtwo works perfectly for a sense rom and there is a cyanogenmod 7 beta with ewimax out now. So it has everything but HDMI working for a gingerbread aosp rom
Well here are some tips for you:
If it's a stock based Sense rom then everything should work unless the dev is an idiot.
If it's an AOSP rom then everything but hdmi and 4g should work (and 4g actually has a fix and can be made to work now)
If it's a port of another rom then hdmi, 4g, and typically the camera won't work (but this usually gets fixed). Sometimes various sensors aren't working properly either (like orientation)
We take a stock Rom and a stock kernel and twist the hell out of it way beyond its means and then ***** about what works and what does not!
Bad topic!
Devs don't want to hear this crap that what pm's

I had the same problem as you a while back. In my opinion, if you are rooted you have already done the hard work. You now have a custom recovery with nandroid, a godsend, which you can use to fall back on if anything were to go wrong. My advice would be to just take the plunge. Grab a handful of ROMS that sound suitable to your needs and start to flash them. If you get stuck in bootloops or the ROM isn't what you want, all you have to do is nandroid and start over. I would recommend to give each ROM at least 2 battery cycles before you decide. On my setup, it seems to take a bit to "settle in". I think if you tried to make tables of ALL possibilities it would be mind boggling to sift through.
I realize this isn't a direct answer to your question, its just my thoughts. Hope it helps and good luck!

To the Op, If its sense based, nothing will be broken. If the rom is AOSP, then 4G and HDMI are broken, however Cyanogenmod is the only AOSP rom with a semi-functional 4G. Also if the rom is Gingerbread 4G, and HDMI are broken, and likewise again, Cyanogenmod 7 is the only Gingerbread mod with a semi-working 4G. The way the ROM's work right now unless its an alpha wimax ROM for AOSP, then flashing a different kernel won't affect the features of the ROM, unless you forgot to wipe before flashing. You can simplify your list down to 2 categories Sense and AOSP, if its SENSE everything works, if its AOSP, 4g and HDMI are broken, and under the AOSP you can list the 2 Alpha releases of wimax for Cyanogen.
Simply put, if you want everything to work, then try these Sense based Roms:

*****To eVoKINGS******
Learn manners please KINGS, the guy thought he had the correct section, and apologized if it was the incorrect section and requested it be moved. If you don't like it don't post in it, he was already informed by others that it was the incorrect section, and then you had to try and jump down his throat about it.
Your posts are composed like they belong to a 12 year old kid googling words to sound older. You can't blame it on auto-correct, I use my EVO to compose a-lot of text messages and the words are never misspelled because I proof read what I type with it, so that I don't come across jabbering like an idiot.
And yes i realize my retort back at Kings is completely contradictory to what I had just typed.
Thanks so much. I was just trying to help the 'tweeners' in my position, those who have some but not too much experience with roms. And the entire reason I even asked/bothered to offer my time was because each ROM thread has numerous issues that are hard to decipher as being general widespread issues, or single isolated issues, and the process of sifting through gargantuan threads is pretty tedious.
small example: some roms have keyboard display issues
But I digress
edit
And to eVoKings, yeah it's awesome that you take a kernel and rom and twist the hell out of it, but in the end I'm the one using the kernel/rom and still want it to be fully functional (and everybody has a different definition of what exactly that constitutes). I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people who actually THANK devs, it's great. But you have to learn to take criticism too (even if it's free)
Good after noon all.
heh, talk about feeling nervous for a first post. well before I contiune, I do want to say thank you to the XDA community, you helped me get both my MyTouch 4G's rooted; Anyway on track with my question.
I am currently running the DemonSpeed Miui, and I have a them I've been working on a theme, I noticed alot of the MIUI themes especially the Lock Theme Thread seems to use other peoples themes/info.
My question is I know i have made/edited a them from ATLEAST 7 different authors, added custom wallpaper, etc the works. and I want to know, should I first contact all 7, or should I just post this.
It should be made further clear, that I am "not" discrediting any owners of the original works and further attempts to contact them will be made. I just want to seem like I am a "thief" saying hey this is mine, yatta yatta yatta.
I should also note this theme is also fairly....huge, coming in at a near 35 MB for a theme does seem a bit excessive but I wanted to create an all in one "Super Theme" and of course credit will be given where it is due.
Any advice would be appreciated, and thank you for your time.
Spy
I think you should contact all of them first just in case, and credit them all in your post obviously. For the most part, the devs here on xda don't seem to mind anyone modifying their work as long as their credited, but you should still contact them and let them know. There are some devs who WILL make you take down your work if you don't contact them and get an explicit yes/no response back from them.
So just to be safe, and to not risk a forced removal of your work, contact them all and wait for a response. It'll be worth the wait just to save yourself the potential trouble with mods and angry devs.
I understand, after 2+ years, that ROM development and the forums for the EVO are gonna slow down. Devs are going to move on to other devices, but there is a really disturbing trend here that is irritating the hell out of me.
ROMs used to be released as Aplha's Beta's RC's, final, etc. You could look at the OP and see everything about the ROM. Devs took their time crafting something unique.
Now, I'm seeing these ROMS come out at a rapid pace and I'm not liking it for several reasons.
1) Poorly written OP's that don't even list the Android base version or the kernel, etc.
2) The same ROM with different names and the only real differences are a few 3rd party apps, or a slight theme change.
3) ROMs released as finals, with a ton of bugs. I'm not talking about FFC, Netflix, 4G bugs on ICS/JB ROMS; I'm talking about ROMS with no Wifi, for example. The majority use WiFi. Why the HELL would you release something where one of the most important aspects doesn't even work?? It's like not paying attention to details is suddenly OK
Settings that don't stick. Sounds that don't stick. Constant System Process Errors. These are pre-release errors, and I don't see them getting fixed, because it's become like a race to port every other ROM from every other device and tweak to boot up on the Evo, then letting it go.
I REALLY wish I could take the time and learn how to properly cook up my own ROM. My OCD of paying attention to details would probably make it great.
Hipkat thats the best thing ive heard in weeks,someone finally speaking out about the BS thats being posted now days and its like everyones in a race to see who can come out with the most borked roms,lol,like you said,they are all the same,except the apps and some themeing and half of them cant do that either,i'm sure this isnt meant to be a bashing session,its just getting rediculous with the drama some are causing and all the crappy ass roms being released,some guys do know what their doing,theres been 1 or 2 that i've put out that i shouldnt have,but come on guys at least take your time and try to do it right,only takes a little common sense and effort.If you havent noticed,over half the members and devs have left because of the BS,when i started doing roms,it was fun,nows its just a big joke,lol.
I dont care if anyone gets pissed about this and i'm sure they will,but oh well life goes on,you will eventually get over it.
It's definitely not a bashing, but a call for Devs to take a little more time and do it right

I don't Dev, Cook, Build, Port or whatever term is used so I have alot of respect for those that do. With that being said I would also state that I am in complete agreement with you and Diablo.
I look at damned near every topic started in the Dev forum just to see what is being made. I take weeks to look at a new ROM and follow the threads to see what comes of it (with the only exception being Mazda's new CAJB ROM. On that one I went with name recognition and am pleased that I did)
In regards to the mass influx of ROMs I'll say this: If you guys don't take the time to keep up with each item you produce, work on bugs, add new options, answer questions from the users then you'll soon find yourself out of favor. Your reputation here, just like in RL, is something of value. It takes very little to earn trust, respect and loyalty. Most people will always give you the benefit of the doubt. Do something to devalue that trust and it can be nearly impossible to regain.
I think some wisdom can be gleaned by the following quote:

I'd be lying if I said I didn't care about d/l numbers or that seeing my thanks meter grow did not give me some juvenalalistic (is that a word?) thrill.

...lol, 'nuff said!
I think everyone needs to remember the difference between Development and Port / Theme / Tweak / Mod. That simple labeling would be a start
Over in Evo LTE land, they have finally recognized this distinction by creating entirely separate forums for "HTC EVO 4G LTE Android Development" and "HTC EVO 4G LTE Original Android Development"
One is for tweaks or ports, and the other is for people who actually compile something.
I made a request for the same original dev section but got denied as our device is to old.
I agree that there are a ton of ports and not enough originality or bugs being fixed. What I would like to state us that the op is stating that a lot have some third party apps but that's like calling the kettle black. You yourself have a rerelease of a miui from where all you did was slap your team name in the thread. I believe the original thread still exists. I'm not calling you out at all but at the same time the work that goes into all these ports or mods or what not is a ton. I myself have my rom thread and some new stuff coming out but I don't call people out usually on their stuff unless its a pure kang(meaning an actual using of ur work with out permission) not a duplicate port.
Yeah some of the revs here could put a little more work in and for sure learn to organize their rom thread a whole hell of a lot better but at the same time who else do u see bringing the newest and best to a two year old device.

It's not that they have 3rd party apps, all ROMS do, it's that some ROMS are just the same ROM with a few different 3rd party apps, or a slight variation in theming, and I mean real slight, but tbh, my biggest beef was with the OP not even listing what kernel is in the ROM, or if it has A2SD or a way to get it working, or the version of Android it's based on, etc.
Add in bug reports that get ignored or the person posting the report gets demeaned for it.
Mostly, it's just the sloppiness that I see going on over the last few months. Too hasty to release something without really perfecting it first

I can agree with that there. sloppy op's without all the listings of what is added or taken out and what its running with a q & a section amoung other things.
I feel like we developers and porters alike should make a check list. Every time you want to post something, run through the list and then once everything is there, read again. If it seems like a business proposition (detailed, understandable, provocative and complete) then, that is the right moment to unleash it.
Thats exactly what i do,i make a list in notepad of what i want to do to the rom,then i go through and check it off as i go,wahla,i have a channelog,so to speak,then post it on the thread.Just like in my 4 Kornerz thread..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612933
Same thing I'm gonna do as I try and update this MIUI GB ROM
What's funny is that the main reason I always hated opening ROM threads is because I'm completely OCD and feel like the posts have to make perfect sense. I try for my thread to make a little bit of sense at least at this point. And I try to keep change logs, bug reports & FAQs up to date.
But then again, I only have one ROM thread in this device section.
----------------------
Current Device: HTC EVO 4G LTE | ROM: toasted-deck CM10 | Kernel: Stock
Kernel should be listed.
a2sd included/not included AND if a specific version is known to work/not work.
Gapps included/not included (you can usually tell from the size of the ROM, but still)
SuperSU vs. Superuser
Wifi and data working/not working
Boot animation audio (can lead to uncomfortable moments when flashing in restrooms, in bed, around family or in TSA security lines--- yes, all personal experiences)
Probably much more...
RootzWiki kinda sorta tried to standardize some of that in OP headers. Would be cool to see that concept expanded in a visually pleasing manner. But, I know people like sprucing up their OP to their liking. Example:
Source: https://github.com/s...mmc-ra-recovery
Mod Type: Recovery Difficulty: Moderate Mod Status: Kang Mod Base: Carrier:
Requires Root: Yes Apply In: Fastboot Optional: Themed Optional: Android Version:
I think ports are great. If the developer is planning on just bringing it over and leaving it alone I think that's fine, but they should be upfront and say "Hey, I did this. Probably won't do any more with it myself, but anyone is welcome to add to it. Otherwise, enjoy."
What I'd really like to see is the people who respond first after an OP + OP reserved do something with that slot besides planting their flag of happening to be online at the right time (e.g. "First. Looks cool!"). They could take the lead, especially for very active developers with many ROMs and threads, to follow that thread and maintain an updated ROM Cheat Sheet/Known Fixes post. How many times have you followed the development of a ROM and things like the new boot animation didn't make it into the next update because the developer forgot. Then people post, "Hey, what happened to the boot ani" five or six times. Then a nice person posts it on Dropbox. Then a few people say other things. Then people repeat the question. Then people point them to the Dropbox link two pages back. Repeat. Repeat. Probably wouldn't matter though since a lot of people never read the OP. They sure wouldn't read that. I'll shut up.

LOL, you forgot 'Lather, Rinse...'
Who else clicked the link
While I agree with the OP 100%, I think at the end of the day there is NO rule that states that you need to do all that..... This is for FREE, and therefore we should be happy with we get on our EVO's nowadays..... I wish developers took their time to put a fully detail change log, bug list Q&A's section, but honestly if we don't like the way certain devs handle their threads, then just move on to the next Rom either way I don't develop, and I can figure out most stuff regarding a Rom by myself now, so I'm just thankful for all the roms out for the og EVO.
Edit: what I would like to know is what's going on with all the Rom teams flip flopping, what's up with that? Sorry to go off topic, lol.

Sorry, but while I appreciate the freeness of the work done and am grateful for it, there should still be enough info to identify exactly what you're getting into.
Perfect example. A lot of ICS/JB ROMS require the patched A2SD file. Good luck finding it. Why not add a link to the OP?? Same with GAPPS
And the date that it was released is much appreciated, although not as critical. The Android version if it's a Sense and/or GB ROM is definitely something that should be there, along with the kernel.

Hello all,
Many of you know me from around the boards here and I have tried to help most of you at one time or another. Well, as you can see from both my avatar and my signature, I have a new title and a new device. The TMobile BOGO SGS3 and SGS2 was too sweet of a deal and the family CFO, pulled the trigger (fyi, the CFO is NOT me )
With that being said, I will probably be limiting my time in the Vibrant fora for the near future. I still don't know what devices I will be allocated as I just received notice yesterday. Between mine and my wife's phones and tablets and the devices I will be assigned to, I will be stretched thin at first.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone in here that has helped me. I was a new user once too and fortunately someone was there to help me. That has always been my philosophy. They helped me when I was panicking, so the least I can do is help someone else when they are panicking. After all these are expensive little toys we have here, eh? If you check eBay's Vibrant listings, there are very reasonably priced, which means that there will be an influx of new users soon enough with their questions, bootloops and PC connectivity issues. Please try to help them as much as you have helped me.
**********************
With that being said, I am going to post a thread probably this weekend or next with some of the older harder to find files hosted in my Dev-Host account. They will be in there for as long as I have the internet (meaning there is no expiration and the files won't get stale and deleted). I am not going to put any ICS/JB ROMs in there bc they are all still fresh and new, so they should be readily available. Same with ICS/JB kernels
What I need is some of the older files that were either hosted on Multi or Mega that are gone. Below is a list of what I have already. If you can, please PM me a link to any files that you might think would be worthwhile to put on there. This will not be a BIBLE and shouldn't be used as a Q&A, hence the Repository Title.
Files I have:
Stock 2.1 JFD (Pit/Tar files)
Eugene's Froyo that Does Not Brick
Bootloaders:
Froyo Bootloaders
Gingerbread Bootloaders (I have all three)
2.1 JFD with GB bootloaders already injected.
Odin/ Heimdall/ AIO Toolbox:
4 different versions of Odin
2 Versions of Heimdall
AIO Toolbox
Themes:
Almost all 2.2/2.2.1 themes
Bootanimations:
About 20 Boot Animations
ROMs:
Zendroid
Toxic8 (Original and not Fish's mod)
Deranged9 (Original and not Fish's mod)
Bionix (Original and not Fish's mod)
CM7.1 Stable
Kernels:
All 2.2/2.2.1
All 2.3.x
****************
This list is just off memory, but if there is something that you like or need, either send me a PM to include it or send me a link with it included so I can download and then upload to my Dev-Host acct.
Be easy my friends and I will still be lurking. And if for some reason they decide to give me the Vibrant threads with OKA1, I will still be putting this repository together.
Hey Woodrube,
You've been of much assistance in the Vibrant forums as well as other forums. We worked on that petition together and unfortunately, that didn't go too well. You've helped a lot of people across the forums and you deserve a new device! Have fun with it and thanks for taking the time to write guides and post useful information. Frankly, I like my Vibrant better than my Nexus S so I'll prolly stick around for a while, so, if anything, I can take over your threads if you don't have time. I don't mind helping at all and we share the same philosophy.
"I was a new user once too and fortunately someone was there to help me. That has always been my philosophy. They helped me when I was panicking, so the least I can do is help someone else when they are panicking."
It's sad to see you go, but you deserve a new toy to play with, so have fun with it!
Maybe you can PM me the new thread layout you were going to make so I can post it up (That way I can edit it and add files, etc. as I have files downloaded as well.) Of course, credit will be given where credit is deserved.
And once again, thank you for everything you've done in the Vibrant community!
Ya, that petition didn't pan out too well, got me an infraction too, but it is still active believe it or not. Last post wasn't too far off. Was a very passionaite plea and the 4 of us did our best. I actually used it as a reference with my RC application.
As far as the Repo thread, I'll still post it up and put the files in there. The reason for it is because there are soo many files out there that are needed and lost or just plain don't download anymore. When I got the RC, they gave me 40gb for free with unlimited up/downloads and no expiration date. So that isn't too bad a deal. Like I said, I still don't know what devices they will assign me too but I'll still be around, just sparingly.
Thanks for the kind words too.

@Woodman ...
You know my story already esp. how our "discussions" in your infamous ICS guide was monumental in building my confidence to make the jump ... into frenzied flashing fever. The journey's been all-good ever since (regardless of EU and the quirky hiccups along the way).
I had lurked for a very long time before even signing up for an account and then even posting a comment or question - ie. leary (& even already tired then) of the discouraging short-fused quips many-a-n00b had faced.
All it took was the patient demeanor and sage guidance of one person (el Wood Meistro) to change my perspective. You set the standard for being a class act, my friend.
I must say I've been impressed with the new stock of Vibrant regulars lately, and your empathetic philosophy definitely lives on through them. Wherever you end up, we'll all look forward to hitting that Thanks button on your future posts to come.
( In the meantime, I'll still see ya in our favorite watering hole ... )
I am one of the new vibrants users WoodRube has helped. I would like to say thank you once again for the help that you provided to this newb. Im sure there are many many more here that you have helped previously, and for that I say thank you. May you enjoy you're new direction to the fullest.

2) Wifi and wifi tether error (this is because libhardware_legacy.so and libandroid_runtime.so)
Need help from other forum members, or somebody willing to compile it from the source. (sources link can be found from original thread link above).
I'll give a hand with research.
My ROM will be based of source but it is still a few weeks away as my computer parts are slowly trickling in and I need to update the S7 roms.
Look at the manifest of the settings

This is a great idea! Let me know if there is anything that could be done to help!
Hello there Streakers!!! This will be one of the greatest roms yall will ever run. I have been working on the Evo 4g version (Evo 3d, and Evo shift also in works) and it has been a huge hit. I have been very busy with those three and have not had a chance yet to give the streak a shot on compiling. I hope to have a few free hours this week to try and make a couple of builds for yall to test.
This is a beast of a rom and unfortunately the heart of it is not working in this port. The settings (main and CyanMobile) give you the ability to customize this rom in ways that no other rom before it has been able to do. It can look like a simple vanilla GB Aosp rom, a highly modified Jb Aokp style rom, or any combination in between. These are not themes that you and in to get a look but actual changes in the framework and UI. Well enough pumping yall up for now time to get back in my kitchen and finish cooking up goodies.
I suggest yall take the time and check out my thread in the Dev section that is posted in the Op and also I am working on a thread in the general section to aid users in finding their way in the settings of this beast. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=2305750 It is a bit empty right now because I have been busy on a new kernel along with knocking out the last of the bugs in this things. Although I have 5 reserved post so you can bet it will be something big.
Time to run guys. Hopefully next time I drop by here I will have yall a couple of links to try out. Just remember that this will be a blind build. I do not own a streak myself but then again I dont own an evo shift and I was still able to make a simi-functional rom for them also. So keep your fingers crossed and we might just get lucky.
Peace,
Love, and
Happiness

nice... man.. i am drooling
Sweet!
I never thought I'd actually consider going back to GB... :laugh:
Looking foward to it, thanks for reviving our Streaks. I'm available to do testing if needed.
Do we have any progress?
Looking foward to it, thanks for this
Alright guys I am ready to start work on yalls rom. First off I have some of the source needed to make this but I am missing a few pieces. I will be looking through the development section tonight and trying to get the rest of what I need to start this project. If there are any dev's for the streak willing to team up on this I would be more than willing to make this a group project.
As yall already know ports are a very poor way (most times) to bring a rom to a new device. Porting brings more problems than anything else. With source things just work better the first time around. I have the source pretty much cleaned up and fixed just about every problem there was with the Og Evo. Now it is time to get this bad boy onto the Streak 5!!
Just for a preview of thing you can do with this rom come checkout the CyanMobile Map in my thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305750
Now onto the fun. Anyone who has done any source work with the Streak please hit me up on talk/hangouts ([email protected]).

Awesome ROM ahead!
@jlmancuso :laugh:
I read through the thread you shared.
AND - I really appreciate the work you have put in on this!
I am no developer / I can't code. ( only can manage around macros a little and few loops here n there )
But, I can test and report & pickup for this project!
Full time online and can report based on my usage.
Let me know - absolutely in any way - if I can be of assistance, I will be more than glad!
kudos to you - already! :good:

Well thank you. The big thing I need right now are the proprietary files for the streak. I have been told that the streak is very similar to the evo 4g but without the actual files I am kind of stuck in the mud. I am downloading the cm7 roms posted in hopes that I can extract the needed files. So wish me luck cause the streak has almost no aftermarket support. It looks like a nice device but few have done much with it. I hope I can help out but only time will tell.

Alright got all the files lined out and started the compiler. Hope to have the first batch of testers out end of this week or beginning of next! Some of the code has to be tweaked for the streak but not much
