I have a couple over here... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/sprint-ep...clockwork-redirect-2-flavors-12-5-2010-a.html

Hate to bump this because it's in the wrong section.. but I'll be sure to donate to someone who will put up the most barebone, speedfreak version of the official DK28 Froyo. Basic theme, nothing on there but what is absolutely needed (with removed apps in a .zip, of course) .. and that be it. I just feel so much cleaner when all the bloat is goooone.

[Q] why are you flashing unstable ROMS? (please read)

hello all i recently joined xda because i bought samsung galaxy 3. now as i have been looking for the rom threads in developement section i noticed that i cant post there so i read couple of rom threads and i was stunned. as i see there are 4 main rom makers, lastatious, kyrillos, apocalyps and greenmod. but when i first watched lastatious rom thread i saw that there are MANY problems in lastatious 1.8 also the same thing happened in apocalyps thread, people complain about the rom and they say it crashes/freezes a lot and some even say that they have flashed their phone with the same rom over and over again (like atleast 5times) and still they complain... but when i watched kyrillos and greenmod rom thread people said that they are almost bug free, even tough that greenmod rom is in beta it looks like its far more stable than apocalyps. and as i see it kyrillos rom is more stable than lastatious(and it isnt in beta) but most of the people will flash their rom with unstable lastatious or apocalyps... why? and if the rom wont work they will flash it again and again... why? why wont you use almost bug free roms instead of crashing/freezing rom? as i see it lastatious and apocalyps are the most downloaded and favorited roms but they are also very unstable roms... and this post was not a hate post to the great rom developers out there, i just dont get it... please reply to my post
p.s this was too big first post right?

Hmm... I don't know (about the unstable ROM flashing) p.s that was quite big post but it doesn't matter p.p.s yes you need 10 posts to post on Dec section

yeah i mean dev thanks for clearing that up

I myself do it to help the developer by testing his ROM and all of It's features, and then report results to the dev. Seeing as I've got very minimal skills or brain to contribute in the development I see it as the least I can do.

i tryed some. kyrillos did with every reboot a factory reset? i couldnt install apps and my phone got really hot i flashed it twice.. i tryed apocalypse but i got a softbrick when i rebooted my phone? I flashed back to indroid everytime becouse that one worked perfectly but when greenmods v1.0 is ill flash that one. it has 1% battery mod and it has neon theme that i like (sorry for my english)

Lestatious 1.7 worked bug-free.
Lestatious 1.8 has some minor issues with the kernel and Data2SD.
I'd still say Lestatious is the best ROM for me!
Sent From My 1.3GHz Galaxy 3 Lestatious V2 ACID (Build 1.8)

It's the urge to stay on the cutting edge and also the psychology of greener grass. I'm taking more of a backseat now as opposed the first few weeks of having the phone.

why flash unstable / beta ROMs? If you mean mindless flashing ('WOW, cool name, let's flash!!!') then I don't know
but if you want to help with development, testing, reporting bugs, contribute somehow, then it is perfectly justified

Apocalypse is in beta stage and of course it may have some bugs but will be fixed untill the final release.
Lestatious i think its a stable rom but v1.8 has an alpha version kernel which is not as stable as beta or final.
My rom has also an alpha version kernel with some freezes rarely.
I havent tried GreenMod but it seems that its nice rom

I use Kyrillos because it's very fast and without A2SD+ I wouldn't have enough space for my apps...
And I also think that Kyrillos is mostly stable

I flashed your rom 4.1 directly from DDJP2 with the hope that the camera and the faceobook touch site would open. But still it has the camera bug. So i changed to Stock european version new release. XWJPF and i like it.
Though its has the camera bug and facebook touch site wont open. Do you have any solution for this???
DDJP6>DDJP2>Kyrillos 4.1>XWJPF
Will be waitng for your reply soon.

people flash unstable roms because they want to support the developer and test out some of the newer features of the rom. if nobody tests them, how are they gonna stamp out the bugs? unless you want to stick to the boring stock g3.
unstable as it is, its not like any real damage is done. whatever happens, you can just reflash it. no biggie

I think that you have a hardware problem with your camera. I had problem with it only on Apocalypse beta 3 OC. With any other rom camera working good.

I dont think so because it was working perfect on my Stock eclair DDJG6. But after upgraing i am having this prblm. My camera is working perfect but if the location is enabled and if i dont have lock on my position my camera would force close if a click a photo. But if its turned off it works flawlessly. And in FROYO their isnt any option for turning off Geo-tagging.
Do you have any solution for this prblem..or a most stable ROM that doesnt have any prblm.

Did you try settings -> location & security -> uncheck "use wireless networks". GPS is also not necesarry.

hi
i think u got ur answers here
but i have been using kyrillos13 recent rom and its quite stable and good for me
i think its more what one wants if ur a basic user like me its ok. IF u are a heavy user that is u want LWP gps & blah blah then yes u would have many problems
and no matter how good the rom is overclocking is always gona give u the problem because the manufacture has a reason why he has made the phone for a certain speed we try to boost it very very high then their will be a problem
somewhere i read that a +10to 15% is ok but guys here boost it like double so ur bound to get problems

Well basically we all like to stay on the current situation...coz if u miss out on sumthing ull get thrown behind eons...so its better to stay updated here on xda!
Plus checking out alphas betas n oder stable ROMs is quite fun...u get a look of what oder smart-brained dev did to ur fone frm a piece of junk to a heavenly piece!...Happy Flashing!

recommend a rom

after becoming fustrated with the lack of a update for north/latin america, ive decided to flash my phone. Im currently on jh2 and its working really well without problems. Ive download jpm to flash but not sure if it will work as its a european rom and also been hearing recently it has a few bugs like the battery showing an incorrect percentage.
So can any1 tell me if it will work/recommend me one that will.

Well i can tell you one thing - you will be getting lots of advises !
However, first you might try the latest Canadian Firmware which was released last week since that seems to be the closest stock ROM you can get for North America
P.S. - You might check THIS THREAD too...

That jpm bug is real i think

First thanks for responding, Ive seen the canadian rom but it barely been tested. I think only 2 ppl have tried it.

I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123 with the latest fugumod

I've installed indroid 4.2 and it's a really nice rom. The only thing until now that's not working is the gps. It takes really long time to get a fix. And when i get a fix, my google navigation crashes. In indroid 3 it was working perfectly.

Thanks for all the responses guys. As this is my first time flashing ill stick with stock. I have the the jpm without bootloader files so ill give it a go.
Btw anyone know if its recommended to remove your sim and sd when flashing or optional.

use stock JPM most of the custom roms are stock modded and nothing special..
Use stock and your own ****ty tweaks which is a lot better !

I recommend cyanogemod....Marcellusbe is working on that. It will be great if he finishes it.

try Destiny Based on JPN, and its fully stable.

I recommand the Kyrillos'ROM 5.5
It's the more stable and battery saver rom i've ever tried !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123
And yes, cyangenmod when it's finished, big thanks to marcellusbe
sorry for my english.

Even the indroid developers respond very quick and to the point. Rudolf is awesome. @everyone: go for indroid 4.3

Hi
My preference is:
Kyrillos 5.7 JPM-based with Fugumod 2.2 Bleeding Edge kernel OC 1300mHz
Most stable ROM I've used, quick responses and no FC so far (only been using again for 8 days but hey all the others I tried would FC a few times a day). I love it!
Switched to Indroid for a while and it is good but went back to Kyrillos as I prefer it.

Ive finally flashed (jpm). I just couldnt wait anymore. Everthing seems to be working good thus far, Thanks for all the help.

for american roms try stock DTLKDA or rafo's ROM those are the only ones I know for america I am currently on Rafo's Rom and its very stable btw I am new to this forum

I would recommend using team lambent kitchen and creating your own personal rom. I'm using jpq with g3 v1.32 lite for extra stability. G3 has a ram script built into it already so just remember not to install the ram hack performance mod.

Get jpm and customize it according to your needs...
No fc's at all.....most stable

Hi guys,
This is my first thread and forgive me if im doing it wrong.
Im now using lewa os roms and i get it from this site http://www.xperiax8.com.pl/v0-4-t3103.html
link for rom is here http://www.4shared.com/zip/Yv4ZZt2R/A04__N_M_T.html.
use it with alf v8 for GDX(not CM7)because this rom is base from GDX.
This rom has few major weakness but i manage to overcome it with tweak and software.
Major Weakness
1.Poor 3d performance-Tweak it with Perfomance Boost by LtHuNTer_StepheN(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503477)
2.No keyboard-install better keyboard(open zip files and install both apks)
3.USSD code wont work with default dialer-install and dial with fast_dialer_3.2.8mobihand.apk(if u feel annoying with reg pls help this guy & buy a full version)
4.Only have 2 lang(Eng & Chinese)i dont mind cause i always use English.
Greatest
-fast
-More free internal memory(less default apps)
-More free RAM
-beautiful ui(almost ferfect)
-Many themes-u can get it from here http://www.mediafire.com/?mfs8f6k81rzb5k9
-google apps-get it from here http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110729-signed.zip(flash it after u flash the rom)
-build in swap,battery saver,RAM cleaner& Root Explorer(in chinese-i think a dev want us to learning chinese)
Warning
-make full wipe b4 install the rom
-flash chargemont fix for alf
-dont use with Naa kernel or wifi wont work
-i dont try it yet with stock kernell.Ur guys are welcoming to try it and please let me know the result
-lastly,dont blame me if u brick ur phone.its work fine for my x8 wih Alf v8
Special thanks
Alfsamsung for his great kernell

Isn't Better Keyboard a paid app? -_-
Or did you include the Lite Version?
(e.g Better Keyboard 8)

I m pretty sure Lucastan96 has a difference rom cause it use with Naa kernell.Btw if u follow his thread,Weiku(post#10)has mentions about this rom(ROM ONLY).Believe me,nobody want a rom with major weakness like i said in my previous thread

Thanks anyway...so everything is working...?going to give a try

Yeah man...give it a try & pls post any comment in here.if anybody have better menthod to improve this rom,u are welcoming to share it.Im not sure if everything is working.As i know all basic fet. is working fine(call,msg,bt,wifi,games,camera&music).For me,i satisfy with it because it has difference UI from other CM7 roms.Im gonna stick with it until Paul xxx release full working version of CM9.(nobody will say no to ICS)

Does it have Any bugs?

I Actually Tested it.. And it Didn't seem to be quite impressive to be honest..
But okay..
Thanks for sharing anyway ;D

I don't know, Why some peoples are unliking the rom,
I found it really nice.
I had attached Antutu Benchmark screenshot.
You can see , its a great score without memory card score.
This rom is great in my views because it have a good UI with good performance.
It already stated that it has Poor 3D score.
I flashed Adreno library for ALFS ICS kernel.

I want to ask a question,
How to install themes ?????????????????????????

Hi there,
copy.lwt file to LEWA folder in SD and go to theme in menu or in setting(personal tap)and then import it.

very good style and the swapper option is very good!thanks

4.30 blisafo
does the MMS work in malysia??

friend,
why u ask this q?do you mean are this rom work with MMS?The answer is...I dont know cause i dont use MMS.its a litte expensive in here.sorry

Sony Ericsson Keyboard
if someone want se keyboard here is Sony Ericsson Keyboard thanks to _Sparks

LOL didnt' know someone will post this rom here man i think u need permission from original thread (there is a link on xperiax8.com.pl) Bcoz xda is dev site unlike xperiax8. I mean xperiax8 is site where u can find everything to our x8 i was just posting a rom there to get to know others from my country About keyboard etc. i just simply took one from GDX and its working
P.S. Thsi rom should be working with all kernels (im using Stock kernel and its pretty fast)
Regards

Thanks uremytoy,its would be great news for our bro & sis With stock kernel.Many of them cant unlock bootloader and stuck with it forever.This rom will be good alternative for them.

This Rom have not option for wifi tether or usb !

Rom of the week

Hey Buzzers. Today i´d like to start a new concept, its called
"Rom of the week", and it is pretty simple.
I love trying out new roms, and i´m sure you do to. So i´ll test some roms, and then every week i´ll be awarding the best rom the title as Rom of the week.
But you guys, are also allowed to come with your suggestions and discuss which rom is best.
//PetDroid

My favorite rom of this week is..
RemPuzzlerom. This is mainly because of its awesome features, including the new "Beats audio" thing, the fastness. Everything is just so fast and i just love Sense!.
This was a short post, but thats just my opinion. What do you think?

This is a great thread started on my opinion, i guess you will state issues and make comparisons through tested roms. Unfortunately, i don't have time doing this lately to do so, that's a reason i find it nice.

CM7.2 Build 16, not so smooth but extremely customizable. I love it

Cyanogenmod
Yup, i also really like CM7. Just dont know why, like sense better

Grate idea . Will save us a lot of time searching for roms and updates.
Can u also provide links to the rom of the week please .
Then if I may cm9 buzz kang rc0 (erwinp and Arco ) I know the rom still have some bugs but it should be listed in my opinion just for the fact that we were told our wildfire not good enough to run ics . This is my daly rom .

Dont get me wrong, but, this thread is useless, there are several other threads like this, such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485583
Basically, youre doing the same thing. You could, though, comment on roms in that thread to reduce number of threads on this subforum as its getting bloated with useless threads and we, wildfire veterans, dont like it, just like others who come here to search for useful info.

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to be asking for help, but, did you wipe (using CWM) before flashing the new ROM? That might be the issue here.
Also, back on topic, I'm another vote for Erwin's awesome CM9 builds, if you don't mind the roughness of it.
